Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux Sued For $50,000 Johnson Too Red, Blanton Declares Charging that Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, had preached the doctrine of communism to students under his supervision on numerous occasions, and that the thirty students who participated in the demonstration at the capitol against the racial discrimination rule in the House Public Restaurant last Saturday were Reds, Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, asked for the dismissal of the Howard president and expulsion of the thirty students in the House of Representatives last Tuesday afternoon. "The students ought to be kicked out of Howard University," Blanton declared, "and Dr. Johnson ought to be kicked out with them. Unless we can weed communism out of that institution we ought to close it up and not give it the further sanction and support of this government." Blanton's attack was the first repercussion in Congress to the mass demonstration of students. It was answered, Wednesday afternoon, by Representative Oscar DePriest, who said: "Personally, I am sorry that those boys came down here from that university the other day as they did. If they had consulted me I would have told them to stay away from here." DePriest added that he had investigated the boy, Frank Covington, who was locked up after the demonstration, and found that he was not a student at Howard University, as he had claimed to be. "I do not know anything about the rest of them," he added, "but if they were from Howard University, they are just like the uncontrolled youth of any college or school. There are very few colleges that do not have some radicals in them." THREAT TO STRIKE ON CWA Protest Firing of Negro Workman; Rap Intolerable Conditions Protesting the firing of Thomas Bradley, colored laborer formerly employed on a C.W.A. project in Takoma Park, because he was unable to pay a bill of 80 cents which he owed Frank Bell, foreman on the job for transportation to and from work, a delegation headed by Joseph Zamores, secretary of the C.W.A. Protective League, threatened yesterday to precipitate a strike of all C.W.A. workers within the District unless conditions under which they were forced to work are bettered. The league is asking that machinery be perforated to provide that workers be paid on the job, so that they will not have to use their day off to collect their wages, and also for transportation to and from work. Appearing before the District Commissioners, Zamerces, who has often been in trouble here for his activities in connection with the International Labor Defense, a communist organization, said: "The same intolerable conditions prevail here as exist in other cities where strikes have taken place, and if things continue as they are, it is likely that CWA workers here will strike also." The league's petition demanded the reinstatement of Bradley, the dismissed worker, and asked dismissal of the foreman if he threatened members of the delegation for "daring to tell the truth." Lewis Williams, Rosee Bush and Lacy Hawkins, all colored, were members of the committee.

Herman Lucas, 1400 block Irving Street, Northeast, from a meeting in the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, last February 6. Mr. Lucas declared that he was attending a meeting of the Industrial Savings Bank deputies committee and was defending himself from a verbal attack when Elder Michaux left the speaker's rostrum, assaulted him, and forced him to leave the auditorium. The altercation resulted, Mr. Lucas said, "because, owing to the lateness of the hour, the plaintiff objected to a lengthy prayer, and insisted that the denositories be heard instead of numerous guest speakers." The suit was filed through Attorney Ernest C. Dickson. --- ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1934 M.

TO TAKE CAPITOL CAFE CASE TO COURTS The fight against restaurants in federal buildings for barring colored citizens will be carried to the courts and fought out to the end, it became known here today when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced that it would back up the legal challenge to the limit.

Chairman King, of the Senate District Committee, pleaded for passage of the measure. Senator King told the Senate that the gambling bill was asked for by District Attorney Garnett to enable him to cope with the numbers racket and also to make possible to bring about more effective prosecution of commercial gambling establishments. The Utah Senator said the committee was informed that school children are being induced to play the numbers game. He also pointed out that this game takes money from large groups of persons of limited means. The committee was told by witnesses that the odds in the numbers game are about 600 to 1. The pending bill makes two important changes in the existing code. First, it adds the numbers game to the various gambling methods already prohibited. It also enables the police to break up commercial establishments by providing that the possession of equipment, tickets, slips and other devices, shall be prima facie evidence of intent to violate the gambling laws. This is necessary. Senator King said, because of the difficulty of getting witnesses to testify after a gambling raid. The report on the bill emphasized that these new legal weapons are to be aimed at commercial or professional gambling.

Hitt in Police Court Monday morning. Two separate assault charges resulted in the imposition of 6 months imprisonment on one and 60 days on the other. The major penalty was inflicted because of the attack on the sightless victim. Testimony revealed that Blackstone, James Black of the above address, and Joseph Johnson, the blind man, were in the N Street residence with several other persons. The contents of two half-gallon jars had been consumed by the seven persons present and the effects of the alcohol had made the entire party disagreeable. An argument developed into more serious proportions and a fight ensued. Blackstone was said to have armed himself with a knife and engaged in a pitched battle with Blackstone. During the scuffle the blind man was struck in the eye and knocked from a chair. His eye, already sightless, was knocked out. He told the court he was also stabbed in the back. Black exhibited a wounded eye and forehead which he claimed to have received during the melee. Blackstone denied everything but that he struck Black. The judge however, found him guilty.

It is improper to insist on the guest's drinking if he does not choose to drink. Each guest should be supplied with a napkin. As to the proper etiquette in wine-serving and drinking, it might be mentioned that glasses are not filled to the brim, so that they may be raised without spilling. Wine is always poured at the right of the guest and should be replenished before the glass is empty, unless the guest refuses to have any more, whereupon it becomes improper for the host to insist. The host or hostess is served first to spare the guests particles of cork which may drop at the start. It goes without saying that it is improper either as guest or as host to drink to excess. It is a distinct show of lack of refinement and self-respect and it is always extremely embarrassing to everyone present. It is best never to drink on an empty stomach. Whenever possible one should have some food with his drinks for in this way dizziness may be avoided if too much is not imbibed. One must know his capacity. Never drink wine or liquors as you would water. HOW WINES GET THEIR NAMES Wines get their names from the regions from which they come.

Among the best known distilled or spirituous liquors are: BRANDY-By the name brandy is understood those distilled liquors obtained by the distillation of grape wines, wine lees or grape pomace. The finest brandy on the market is Cognac. The town of Cognac situated in the department of Charente, France, the salespoint for the brandy made in the vicinity, has given it its name.

Social Workers' Institute Formed in Washington Under the leadership of Mrs. Louise McClaren, of the Affiliated Schools for Workers., Dr. Abram Harris, professor of Economics at Howard University, and Mrs. Myra Callis, District social worker, a Workers' Institute has been founded in this city for the purpose of studying the conditions of skilled and unskilled Negro workers in the field of industry and other nonprofessional pursuits. This institute is a portion of the work of the Affiliated Schools for Workers, which has announced itself as ready to conduct an experiment in Workers' Education in Washington. The ultimate goal is to form classes for industrial workers in order that they might study liberal subjects without cost, and to stimulate an active and continued interest in the problems of our economic and social order. A recruiting force will be formed to secure students from the churches, domestic concerns, laundries, schools, factories, workshops, and clubs. Candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 35, and must have had at least three years' experience in some industrial art. An attempt will also be made to send a young woman to Bryn Mawr Workers' Summer School this year for eight weeks' study.

The game started at sharp 12:09 on the morn- ing of the Sabbath. The Y team represented the Columbia Lodge, of this city, Two factors, the failure of the Gapital Cityans to make good on numerous free-throw awards, and the inability to hold on to the lead on two separate occasions in the Waning minutes, resulted in the New Yorkers’ victory. The win- ning basket was sent spinning through the cords 13 seconds ahead of the final whistle. Playing pretty much on even terms throughout the first twenty minutes of the game, the locals and their guests closed the first half with a score of 12-10, showing on the tally card. The invaders, trail- ing by two pocats as the second period began, evened the count shortly after resumption of play. New York Captain Too Good Playing smoothly they went in- to the van and at one time led by five points as the Y outfit fought vainly in an effort to pull them: selves togethor. Red Phillips, cap- tain of the visitors, proved himself to be a thorn in the side of the Capita] Cityans as he darted about the floor intercepting passes and breaking up cribbles. Whenever the oceasion arose, Phillips would net a two-pointer. In the closing 10 minutes, how- ever, the Washington aggregation lifted itself out of the rut and moved in closer on their opponents. With four minuies to play, Herbie Tobias sani onc of two charity awards to tie the score at 2l-all. Shortly theveatter Tibbs, Y guard, and former Howard varsity. star, Intercepied a Manhattan pass and dribbled through the entre visiting *.am to sink a field throw and put the locals ahead for the first time during the period. This lead was short lived as Hen- derson’s heave from midfloor found the cords. Phoenix, visiting guard, then came throuzh with a neat one- hand toss to put the New Yorkers ahead by a-field coal. Jeffries, lo- eal guard, pushed a two-pointer through the hoop, only to have his effort annulled when Phillips sank the winning besket. OA Sea.

In two oth- ers, the lads from the Hilltop held the upper hand. But in still an- ther, the bout which turned out to bo the turning point of the card, the Blue and White representative, at least from a spectator’s point of view, gave as much as he took. For some reason, however , the judges smiled on his adversary. In the opening match, Kendrick, a 125-pounder hearing the colors of Howard, gained a technical knock- out over Manuel, 117-pound Y box- er. A cut under the latter's left eye caused the referee to stop the fight in the second round, ‘The Dyson-Wimbush match, the second of the program, was marked by a punishing rally which the for- mer, fighting for the college team, staged after feeling out his oppo- nent in the first round. Decidedly smaller and handicapped by the un- usually long reach of the Twelftn Street mittman, Dyson wore his an- tagonist down in the carly minutes of the second stanza and went on to win in a breeze. Through the final chapter, Wimbush was punci- drunk, The first ¥ victory came in the third bout of the evening, that, be- tween Ellis and Cochrane, the lat- tor of the Blue and White ensem- ble. Ellis, a swinger, piled up points in the first two rounds which the Bison representative was un- able to offset as he attempted a last-minute rally.

Blue an: ite assailant, Veal, in the open- Fingg round of their three-round se: to. ‘The latter, however, came. to life in the second canto and judging from the gallery reaction gained a draw with his ever-aggressive op: ponent. The Howard boy then, in the opinion of many, eked out on the top end of the point-getting in the final round. Green was re- turned the winner and the audience jeered. From the very outset, Gray, ren- resenting the Y in the main’ bout of the evening, showed himself to be far better than Stratton, of Howard.

When it comes to making these sketches, your infor- mant detaches himself from the team as completely as possible in order to widen his range of vision. The basis of all observation may | summed up in less than ab: dozen words, thus: “They’s called as they’s seen.” So those is them. Cosmopolitans gained considera- ble ground last week by making a clean sweep of their match with the Ambassadors. ‘The result ean not be attributed to what the champs did, but rather to what the Ambas- sadors failed to do. In the first place Biggie Foster let his team down by not showing up. The ef- fect of his absence, psychological or otherwise, served to key up’ the Cosmopolitans. To the Ambassa- dors it served as everything else but. Biggie struts an average of 101-2. Had he been in there maul- ing enough wood to keer sis aver- age in tact, the Cosmopolitans would have been snowed under for ‘the whole set. Moving to the sce- ond place, most serious of all, the Ambassadors tricked this column. About two weeks ago they were ballyhooed to run rough-shod over ‘the champs. Figures were intro- ‘duced to bear out this belief. It turned out all wrong. A. G. 0. took two from the Franklins, thus making the latter's cellar position a little more secure.

Kappa, recent victor over the New York Sigmas, has been run- ning away with opposition around the metropolis area like a wild bobsled. The Alphas, _ newly crowned champs of the Eastern coast, are undefeated for the pres- ent season. Their most recent vie- tory was achieved at the expense of ghe erack New York Sizmas, New ngland kings of basketball. The champion Alpha team has deen materially strengthened _ by the addition of Ruf Hatehett, for- mer captain of Morgan College. The strong nucleus of Lanky Jones, Pinky Clatke, Cutie Brown, and the senfational Ted Thompson will help the Alphas to present their strong- est_line-up.

As these lads were always a drawing attraction at the local high schools, Poet authorities spent much of the 1933-34 campaign seeking a substitute for that game. Ajletter from the Apex manage- ment served as the answer to that prayer. As a result, the two-game series was carded. In addition to serving as a sub- stitute for the cancelled series with Wilmington, Coach Jacobs and the Dunbar Athletic Association plans to use the Apex game here as a means to defray the expenses of the Dunbar team to the national tournament.

Objections are being noted to my persistence in praising or panning pictures I see for the purpose of giving Tribune readers my opinions of shows playing or about to play the five leading local theatres. In writing under my name, I have always made it a policy to write what jill SAMMIE thinks—'tellwidalludders. I do not intend to change. These assailants know this. Perhaps that's the reason they feel that I have no right to tell the physician who has just failed to cure me that he prescribed wrongly, or to tell my lawyer who has just sent me to jail that his argument was poor. Deductions of minds trained in stage lore fail to impress me. I've seen too many languages twisted around by them in search of new adjectives to describe pictures that might well have been pointed out as just plain "rotten" and left alone. I agree that being a critic to your own satisfaction is a very easy matter, but I do feel that being a "yes, man" to someone else is far less difficult. 1215 YOU STREET, N.W.

But if the crack colored orchestra carries the show "through the gauntlet" of Washington criticism, it must be said that the band presented by the white end of the revue sends it off to a flying start. Hal Woods's Royal Orchestra, of Trenton, N.J., literally steals the show from our local "prides and joys." I know not whether it is the novelty of hearing a good white orchestra "in the flesh" or whether it is just a case of honor done where honor's due. Versatile to say the least, the Trenton ensemble takes the Howard patrons on a trip around the continent imitating four of the country's leading musical organizations. Mimicking the style of Lombardo, Duchin, Bernie and Calloway (Cab), Woods and his cutit make their bow amid a storm of applause. The show, perhaps one of the BOOKER-T THEATRE 1433 You Street, N.W.

Cab Calloway to a "tree." He does refuse to "hi-de-ho," however, "Journal of Crime," with Ruth Chatterton and Adolph Menjou, is a tragic picture, strong, and opens the way for one of Miss Chatterton's greatest poles. Preview Thoroughly satisfied with the results obtained when he went into the confines of good ole Harlem for the talent he assembled for his "Hot Harlem," of a recent week, Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, went back to the metropolis area for his "Springtime Prolics," he offers beginning Saturday. Grinning the whole time yours truly was trying, to persuade him to give up a little information on what he had under his belt for next week, the shrewd bids of the Seventh and T Streets playhouse, positively refused to divulge anything. "Wait and see this one," is the only answer other than that the show is made up of some of Harlem's most popular stars supported by a dazzling, fast-stepping chorus. On the screen, Edward G. Robinson in "Dark Hazard" sets another style of entertainment in this different drama of a gambler who knew all about cards and horses, but found women an eternal mystery. He lived and loved a plunger, and from the stacked deck of life, fate dealt him a wife who was a piker even with her kisses. -:- Raphael -:- Review If you can bear to sit through the entirety of "Orient Express" there might be a possibility of your enjoying the Raphael's current attraction more than did yours respectfully. In my unworthy estimation, however, the picture was far below the quality of those that have been running the Ninth Street house. The action centers around a bearded gentleman who is supposed to be a powerful Communist leader, a pretty young dancer, and a promising merchant, all of whom meet on the Ostend-to-Constantinople train. The girl is presumably saved from starvation by the young merchant, who is in turn rewarded by the purchase of a box of expensive dates by the girl. (Her money, however, could not offset the impending starvation). Oh, well, what's the use? Ed Harris, Raphael manager; promises not to put me to sleep again very soon.

The ever-apealing older sister of the popular Bennett girls plays a dual role in this picture of a woman whose craying for the Joan Blondell plays the role of a telephone operator. According to telephone officials, the saucy Warner Bros. star resembles her real sister operators more than any other screen player. Her alert, decisive manner is one of the necessary requisites at a switch-board, where a problem of momentous importance may flash at any time. Tragedy or success depends upon the intelligence and quick-wittedness of the girl. The large cast, includes such screen favorites as Glenda Farrell, Pat O'Brien, Allen Jenkins, Eugene Pallette, Henry O'Neill, Hobart Cavanaugh, together with a score of others. --Booker T.-- So enthusiastically received was the Booker T.

So beginning tomorrow (Friday) "Moulin Rouge" will enter its second week of entertainment for patrons of the little picture house. And entertainment it must certainly is. The ever-appealing older sister of the popular Bennett girls plays a dual role in this picture of a woman whose cravings for the stage gets her into domestic difficulties, and then on the other hand turns up as the woman who eventually gets the husband of the first into marital embarrassments—if you get what I mean. If you don't then, "Moulin Rouge" is still at the Booker T. Review Before going into a discussion of "Queen Christina," let me get something off the ole hairy chest that I've been nursing along for a long, long time, but have never seemed to remember at just the right time. For many days now I have been intending to throw a hand to Georgie Clark, manager of the Lincoln, for being the only one of the numerous announcers who knows how to use a microphone. There was a time when I dreaded that lapse in the cinema entertainment which is used for the purpose of making announcements on the coming shows. From the very first day I heard one of these guys belly-low through that loudspeaker I have wanted to get up and go outside until it was all over. Now, however, there is some relief from that at the Lincoln. Clark speaks in a smooth, even tone that doesn't resemble the efforts of a participant in a "hog-calling" contest. Garbo and Gilbert return to triumph together in the offering of "Queen Christina." Once again playing opposite the dominating Greta, John Gilbert, who knows what it is to be "sometimes up and sometimes down," seems to regain Raphae DECATUR 1376 HOME OF THE BEST FIRST STARTING SATUR DECATUR 1376 EDW, HARRIS, Mgr.

His portrayal of the Don Juan So-and-So and Watchamacallit, envoy of Spain, is done masterfully.

Donald Cook and Genevieve Tobin, Columbia Pictures' sterling young stars, play the leads in this offering crammed with unexplained murders from beginning to end. That may not sound like an invitation to a pleasure excursion, but with it it is a promise of an evening remember it is still just a movie. Mysterious telegrams summon eight people to a party in the Manville penthouse. Each supposes he is the guest of honor, only to discover that no one of them has any knowledge of the affair. At the end of a local broadcast, a new voice speaks from the instrument, telling the guests that they are to engage in a game of Death with their wits against his.

The quartet of persons abandoned a Dutch steamer to escape a plague that had broken out aboard in the beginning of the story. They took refuge on a deserted spot on the Malay Peninsula. In the end, it and Marshall face the problem of having fallen in love at a time when the latter is already embarrassed by the existence of a wife. Eventually—ho hum—the picture is concluded.

The self-styled inventor is James Calvin Jones, now living in abject poverty in Philadelphia, although for 19 years he had nurtured the desire to own a chicken farm and an automobile. He plans to sue the United States government for $24,000,000. Jones's first step looking toward final litigation already is in the court of claims, which is entertaining his petition to sue the government. He is represented in the suit by Attorney Louis J. Wacke, of Brooklyn, N.Y. For many years Jones has been tossed from one official to another at the national capital. According to his own story, his lawyer was told by a member of the legal department of the postoffice that "the Jones papers are missing from the files and there'll be hell to pay." The papers, Jones says, would show that the government accepted his device after a demonstration near Folson, Pa., in 1915. He adds that he never got the $50,000 prize offered by Congress, or any payment, for that matter. Originally he sold his friends shares in the device for 10 cents each, and even they demanded their money back. Private backers since have financed his fight for recognition. EDDIE RECTOR IS ADJUDGED INSANE NEW YORK.—Eddie Rector, for many years identified as the peer of American tap dance artists, was adjudged insane by psychopathic authorities of the Bellevue Hospital this city, late last week.

DEOPLES DRUG STORES "All Over Town" "The Better to Serve You" THE McGUIRE FUNERAL HOME, Inc 1820 Ninth St., N.W. WASHINGTON, D. C. NORTH 1762 "DADDY" GRACE GUILTY OF VIOLATION OF MANN ACT (Continued from page 1) charges pressed against him, and to explain letters beginning "Holy Greetings, dear baby," and signed, "Daddy." He himself was a sartorial symphony in tan, while his body-guard, in blue uniforms and white-visored caps, marched in file by his side with crisply clicking heels and a flutter of cords and tassels. Following the selection of a jury, which was featured by vigorous objection to a colored juror by the bishop's counsel, the complaining witness, Miss Campbell, was called to the stand. Promised Job Co-starring in the testimony with her sister, Lucille, the dark-skinned young organist told of romantic journeys with the elderly divine to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, all important points in the bishop's ecclesiastical dominion. "He had promised me a job playing the piano in one of his churches in Baltimore," said Minnie. "And believing that was what he wanted me for, we started off, with his car and chauffeur, for Baltimore. But when we got to Philadelphia, we stopped. And we stopped some more in Washington." The young girl declared that the bishop's attentions were more than fatherly, and considerably extra-spiritual in character. Identifies Letters The sister, Lucille, who testified that she had been the bishop's secretary while he was in Brooklyn, identified the "Dear Baby" and "Daddy" letters, which she said Bishop Grace wrote her regarding Minnie. Johnny Hero, the bishop's chauffeur, while admitting that he had driven Minnie and the prelate to Philadelphia, declared that the churchman had always deported himself in a manner befitting a man of the cloth. Publishes Magazine Further, testimony in the case revealed that ten per cent of all collections taken up at the "bishop's" churches and missions are turned over to him and the rest was deposited to his account for disbursement to the respective churches and missions. He also published a religious magazine, to which nearly 200,000 of his followers subscribed. There was also mention of handkerchiefs which he "blessed" and sold for $1 each. Reputedly a wealthy man, the "bishop" owns boarding houses tenanted by members of his congregation in various cities, and travels from one church to the other in a luxurious limousine. His Washington headquarters is at 601 M St. Northwest, and his District home is at 11 Logan Circle. N.A.A.C.P. TO TAKE CASE TO COURT (Continued from page 1) that he be not served. that he not serve.

DePriest Started Fight Suits will be filed at once, as the opinion has been given here that all persons refused service in a public restaurant at the Capitol have grounds for damage suits. The restaurants are trying to dodge the classification as "public restaurants" by placing signs saying they are for members and employees only.

Moses Lodge Endorses Industrial Bank Plans The Supreme Grand Lodge, A.I.O. of Moses, holding its semi-annual session last Tuesday night, unanimously endorsed the reopening of the Industrial Bank and directed a portion of its funds now on deposit there shall be converted into stock of the new institution.

The Grand Master of Virginia stated that in addition to the annual function of the Order, the lodges of the state were appealing to the colored citizens to qualify and exercise their political franchise and that results in that field were encouraging. LYNCH SUSPECT DENIES PART IN ARMWOOD DEATH White Druggist Tries to Clear His Name Before Senate Committee (Continued from page 1) my car through to the corner where my drug store stands. Because I did not know what was going on I got out of the car, leaving it with my wife to take home, and pushed through the mob to my store. I stayed in the store until about 10:30 o'r11 o'clock, when I closed it up. I heard nothing about my alleged participation in the synchng until troops were sent to Princess Anne in November to take me back to Baltimore." Asked as to his opinion on the effectiveness of the bill under consideration, he stated that he believed it would have a "statutory effect in decreasing the number of lynchings in the county." Identified by Picture Explaining his connection with the case, Thompson told members of the sub-committee that police had obtained his photograph from a daily paper after he had saved on a coroner's jury which investigated Armwood's death. He claimed that he did not know the state police officers who are alleged to have "identified" him, and that it was obvious, from their description of him, that they did not know him. According to the testimony previously presented by Attorney General Lane, Thompson has been positively identified by police as one of the ring-leaders of the lynch mob. He is quoted as having cried, "Let's get a pole," at the time the mob was storming the jail, and is said to have produced the battering ram used to break down the door. Denies Police Story All of this Thompson heatedly denied. "When I went back to Princess Anne from Salisbury about 9:45 that night," he stated, "the street was full of people—a thousand or more men and boys. Out of all of these there was only one I recognized; the others were from out of town. The prisoner, Armwood, had already been taken from the jail and the lynching had already taken place at the time." Nobody Punished Asked what efforts had been made to punish the lynchers, Thompson replied, "Nothing, so far as I know, except the sending down of troops to Princess Anne. I understand, however, that an undercover investigation is still being conducted by the police department." Cross-examined by Senator Van Nuys, chairman of the sub-committee. Thompson stated that he did not believe that the bill, in its present form, was fair to those whom it would affect. "I don't think that lynchers are taxpayers," he said, "and I don't think it would be fair to put an extra burden on the taxpayers in a case or this sort." "Do you believe that the bill, if passed, would be helpful in preventing further lynchings?" the Senator asked. "Yes, I believe it would have a statutory effect," Thompson replied. "In what way?" "Well, as soon as the persons in outlying sections of a county heard of an impending riot, they would start in to quell it. The knowledge that their tax burden would increase with each killing would make them think twice before they joined a lynch mob or allowed it to carry out its purpose." **Leaders Not Identified** "Do you believe that by proper effort of the leaders of the mob that killed Armwood could have been identified and prosecuted?" Senator VanNuys asked. "I don't know, sir," Thompson replied. "I know that it wasn't done in this case." "But do you think it possible?" "I couldn't say." "In extreme cases of this kind, when a colored man is charged with assault of a white woman, do you believe in lynching?" "I believe in letting the law take its course." "Do you think that there is any case in which lynching is justified?" "No, sir. I do not." Wife Tells Story Mrs. Thompson, called next to the stand, told of the trip to Salisbury which she is alleged to have taken with her husband on the night of the Armwood lynching. "We had dinner at six," she stated, "and left for Salisbury at about a quarter of seven. It was ten minutes after nine when we left the theatre. We had a Cocoa Cola at the drug store in Salisbury, run by Mr. Coburn, and got back to Princess Anne at about a quarter of ten. On the way down we met a group of fifteen or twenty cars coming, back from Princess Anne, presumably carrying groups of men who had gone there to lynch Armwood. When we got into Princess Anne we found the streets blocked by members of the mob, and it was half an hour be- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MARCH 22. 1934 Mrs. Nannie D. Penn Dies At Home Thursday Mrs. Nannie D. Penn, of Sheridan Road, Anacostia, D.C., died Thursday (yesterday) after a brief illness. She has been a resident of Anacostia for a great many years, and has been an active member and official of Campbell A.M.E. Church. She was the wife of Robert S. Penn and leaves several children and grandchildren. Funeral services will be held on Saturday at 1 o'clock from Campbell A.M.E. Church. fore I could drive the car from the main street to my home. My husband had jumped out of the car, meanwhile, and had gone through the crowd to his store to see that it was not being ransacked by the mobsters." No Masks Worn "Did you see anyone wearing masks?" Senator VanNuys asked. "No, I did not," Mrs. Thompson reniled. "What time did your husband get home from his store?" "About 11 o'clock." "What was the temper of the crowd that was milling through the streets of Princess Anne when you got there?" "Everybody seemed surprised and a little shocked." "Were they milling around or standing still?" "Most of them were standing around in groups, talking among themselves." "Were they members of the community, or strangers?" "Most of them were strangers from out of town." "Were the business houses closed or open?" "I don't know." "Has there been any discussion concerning the leaders of the mob since the lynching took place?" "Nobody ever discusses it with me because they realize that I've seen so much and heard so much about it already." "Was it the earnest desire of the community to apprehend and punish the leaders of this mob?" the Senator asked finally. "Well, I don't know about that," Mrs. Thompson replied. Two close friends of the Thompson, Mrs. Lee Hayman, wife of a Princess Anne business man, and Mrs. Alice Morris, proprietor of the Preston Theatre, only movie house in the little town, corroborated Mrs. Thompson's story. Mob From Out of Town Mrs. Hayman stated that the great majority of the mob leaders were from out of town. "You didn't see a single person in the crowd that you knew?" Mr. VanNuys asked. "Not a single one." "How big is the town—what is its population?" "About 900 or 1,000 persons." "You were born and raised there?" "Yes." "You knew most of the people who live there, don't you?" "Yes. But there was no one in this mob that I knew." "Where were you when the mob was in the city?" "I was at my husband's hard- ware store, on Main Street." "Yet you can't give this sub-com- mittee the name of anyone, man or woman, whom you saw in that nob?" "No, I cannot." "Is the matter still discussed in Princess Anne?" "No." "How do you think the strangers got into Princess Anne?" "I don't know." "Do you know where they came from?" "I'm sure I don't know." Crowd Excited "Was the crowd calm, deliberate, or highly excited?" "There was some excitement, but only what you'd expect." "You're sure that you saw Mr. Thompson as he drove into town, after the lynching was over, and got out of his car?" "Yes, I'm sure of that. I was with Mrs. Morris, and we both stopped to talk to Mrs. Thompson, as she was trying to get her car through the mob to take it home." Saw Mob From Distance Mrs. Morris, then called before the committee, testified that she had seen the mob, but only from a distance. "Did you recognize anybody in that mob?" the Senator asked. "Yes, one or two of them." she replied. "Were they from Princess Anne or from out of town?" "Those that I recognized were from Princess Anne. The others were total strangers to me." "Were there many people in the theatre that night?" "No. Business was very bad. There were only six or eight in the theatre at the time the mob went by." "Could they hear the noises of the mob?" "No, not inside the theatre." "You knew that they were taking Armwood out to lynch him?" "Yes, it was pretty common knowledge." "Do the citizens of Princess Anne deplore lynching or favor it?" "They deplore it." "Do they want the lynchers of Armwood to be apprehended and punished?" "I think they do." "Are they making any effort to accomplish this?" "As much as they can, I guess." "Could you identify any one person as being a member of the mob?" "No, sir. I didn't see it. I tried my best to get away from it." George W. Coborn. Salisbury druggist, attested to the truth of Thompson's statement that he had been in Salisbury on the night of the lynching of Armwood. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson stopped into his drug store, he stated, at about 9:30 p.m. "Was Salisbury depopulated on that night?" Senator VanNuys asked. "I would say that it was depopulated—from a certain class of people." "What class are you speaking of?" "Youngsters, mostly boys between the ages of 17 and 25." "Do you know for certain that they were out of town?" "No. I only know that they did not come into my place of business as they usually do." "Did you ever hear any discussion of the lynching?" "No. No, not at all." "Did you ever hear anyone say that he was at the lynching?" "I've heard people say that they were in Princess Anne on that night, but not that they saw the lynching." "Where was the other lynching on the Eastern Shore?" "That occurred about three or four years ago—before I moved there." "The man who was lynched at that time was named Matthew Williams. Did you ever hear any discussion of that lynching?" Police Still Working "Is any effort beng made to apprehend those who lynched Williams?" "I understand that the police are still working undercover on the case." "What would you say would be the effect of the passing of the bill which the sub-committee now has under consideration, Mr. Coburn?" "Naturally, the better class of people deplore lynching, just as they deplore anything else that's outside the law. But to me it seems that the veneer of civilization is so thin in most cases that all the legislation in the world will never put a complete stop to lynchings. When under the stress of mob action, any man is likely to do things that he wouldn't think of doing otherwise. You can't legislate that trait of human nature out of existence." "Don't you think that legislation against homicides has materially decreased the number of murders committed in this country?" Chairman VanNuys asked. "Possibly so," Coburn replied, "but it seems to me that there has always been antagonism between the races, black and white, red and yellow. When the day finally comes that white men and black men can live together in peace, then there will be no more lynchings, and consequently no need for any such legislation." "But don't you think," the Senator insisted, "that this bill would help in what we are trying to do?" "I hope so." No Mobsters Apprehended "Is it true that authorities of the Eastern Shore have not as yet apprehended or punished any members of the Armwood lynch mob?" "Yes, so far as I know." "Why is that?" "The law machine is too slow—it's cluttered up with too much red tape." "Do you think that public sentiment could be built up and that juries could be impaneled—that would convict lynchers?" "If the evidence were irrefutable, they could. But I don't think that such evidence has been collected as yet in the Armwood case." "You are aware," Senator Van-Nuys interposed, "that many whites men have been lynched within the past few years?" "Yes, I am." "To what do you attribute these lynchings?" "To the fact that in certain communities groups have established in their minds certain conditions which they will not, under any circumstances, condone. These conditions vary in various parts of the country, and many that would seem trivial to us appear of immense importance to residents of other parts of the country." "Do you not believe, then, that racial hostility is the basis of all lynchings?" "Absolutely not." "Do you think that the bill now under consideration that would penalize taxpayers of counties for permitting lynchings in their communities would be effective?" "I think that it would have a benefit, effect, but it would not wholly put a halt to lynchings." DePRIEST MAKES SIGNATURE PLEA (Continued from page 1) wise? "I have been informed that if I insisted on pressing this question it might hurt my usefulness down here. If I did not press it, I would not stay here very long. The people who sent me here would retire me next November, and they would rightly retire me because I should not be here if I did not stand up for a group of people who have always been on the square with this government. I did not come here from a group of people who have committed treason against the government! I did not come here from a group of people who are Communists or Socialists; I came here from the most loyal American citizens that we have." "I am fighting the efforts of Communists to get a following among members of my pace. The question of social equality is not the real issue that we are considering.

CAPITOL ENTERS FIGHT FOR CWA JOB RECOVERY (Continued from page 1) than a year before returning to the Adjutant General's office, of the War Department as a typist. Transferred to C.W.A. Eight months of temporary work in this capacity were followed by a lay-off. Then she received still another appointment as a punch operator in the Census Bureau, which position she held for another eight months. She was transferred to the classification of clerk upon her return to the Census. After some service in this bureau, Miss Hopkins states she received, still on her same Civil Service status, another appointment—this time at computing interest in the Loans and Currency Division of the Treasury Department. In 1930, Miss Hopkins asserts she returned to the Census Bureau again, this time on an appointment which lasted two years. With the establishment of the CWA project Miss Hopkins was assigned to the Emergency Relief which automatically transfers her to the jurisdiction of the CWA. It is because of the advertised lack of permanency of this organization that Miss Hopkins objects to the transfer. Her contention is based on the fact that the bureau from which she was transferred is to take on a permanent form with the abolition of the CWA and the opening of the PWA project, April 1. No reply had been received from the office of the Commissioners nor from officials of the Employment Center up to a late hour. Wednesday.

After a chequered career as an itinerant preacher, bogus evangelist, ship stoker, gold miner on the African Rand, he was eventually deported from South Africa back to America for gold thieving." It states further that: Thinks Garvey Is Dead "Mr. Garvey, who claims to be the Black Messiah, has a cult-worship, and after deportation from South Africa he landed in New York with a retinue of his cult worshippers and paraded the streets of New York as a 'Messiah' and purchased a property of over one hundred acres of land in Long Island, New York, formerly owned by Commodore Vanderbilt, where he carried on the practices of his cult, and that white and black girls were lured to the temple, and that in one instance, a white girl from Boston, Massachusetts, disappeared and was found at the temple." The article, the fourth of a series, was run under a heading of "Death Takes the Millionaire." The writer, apparently, believed Garvey to be dead. The suit for damages was filed by Garvey's London solicitors. The case is expected to be heard when the U.N.I.A. leader goes to England in September. Garvey was convicted here years ago of using the mails to defraud, and after incarceration in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, was deported to Jamaica.

NEEDY CHILDREN TO BE FED DURING EASTER HOLIDAYS NEEDY CHILDREN TO BE FED DURING EASTER HOLIDAYS Nursery Centers Also Will Be Opened With Teachers in Charge Following conferences of school officers it has been decided to keep school buildings open during the Easter holidays where emergency lunches for needy children are being served. It has been agreed by the relief authorities to continue serving lunches, fruit and milk on Good Friday, March 30, and every school day of the following week. Principals of buildings will notify janitors and all C.W.A. workers concerned in order that they may be prepared to have the lunch centers heated and ready for the children each day at noon. Principals should also notify the pupils and their parents, and give appropriate instructions in order that the children may understand what is expected of them in connection with the special arrangements that must be made. "During the holidays while the teachers are absent, the principals will probably find it necessary to solicit the help of mothers or teachers who will volunteer to come on certain days and help in the direction of the lunch activity," Superintendent Ballou said. "It is also planned to keep the nursery centers open during the Easter holidays. There should be no interruption of this work. It is hoped that principals will co-operate in helping the teachers at these centers work out all of the plans that have been made for the proper operation of these centers." APPOINTMENT OF OXLEY CONFIRMED North Carolina Man to Investigate Negro Labor Problems Lt. Lawrence A. Oxley, Raleigh, N.C., has received his appointment in the United States Department of Labor. The announcement was made Friday by Miss Frances Perkins, secretary of labor.

Mr. Phillips is no longer connected with the labor department in any capacity. It is understood that he will engage in the practice of law. Lt.

MARCH 22, 1934 POLICE USED TO DELIVER TELEGTAMS Western Union Afraid Boys May Be "Beaten Up" in Colored Section LINCOLN, Md.—A telegram was sent to Herman P. Socks, of Lincoln, announcing that on Thursday, March 8, his sister had died in Pittsburgh, Pa. This message was sent through the Western Union, and should have been delivered promptly, but due to the very poor service rendered clients living in colored rural communities, Mr. Socks was well on his way toward Pittsburgh, having received word through other means, and left Sunday afternoon, before the message handled by the Western Union was received. A representative of the company phoned to Vista, Md., Sunday evening, and inquired whether Mr. Socks was known there and whether or not he was colored. On being asked whether it made any difference, the answer came back that: "We heard Lincoln is a colored community, and we do not want to get any of our messenger boys beat up." The message was given to the Hyattville, Md., police to have them make delivery. The message was prepaid and due to this unwanted and unprecedented action on the part of the telegraph company, was not delivered in time to be of any service. "Must we be kept from the knowledge of such urgent matters, after our money is accepted, simply because of such flimsy and unreasonable excuses?" Mr. Socks inquires. Miss Robeson Addresses Monroe Parent-Teachers The Monroe Parent-Teacher Association met Thursday evening in the library of the James Monroe School. The president, Mrs. J. W. Williams, presided. The speaker of the evening was Miss Ethel Robeson, teacher of Home Economics at Howard University. The subject of her talk was "Training for Intelligent Consumership." Miss Robeson stressed the need for intelligent buying in these days of lowered budgets with especial attention to sizes and labels of canned goods. Miss Josephine Thomas, one of Miss Robeson's students, prepared an inexpensive dish and served samples to the audience. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Monroe Glee Club. The April meeting will be featured by the annual Fathers' Night celebration. "Brotherly Love" No Go If the Brother Won't Work The old, old story of "brotherly love" received a severe thrashing, in Police Court early this week, when Benjamin Bell, 228 F Street, Southwest, was sent to jail on complaint of his sister, Miss Grace Bell. The man was fined $25 in default of which he must serve 25 days in jail. Pictured as one who "just won't work, but lays around the house drunk all the time." Bell was accused of having broken the panel of the front door, Saturday night. The man was said to have been on one of his "sprees," and resorted to force to get into the house from which his sister and father, John Bell had barred him. The parent and sister told The Tribune that punishment would probably "do him good." Southeast League Meets The Southeast Civic League meet at the Lincoln-Giddings School last Monday evening at 8 p.m., at which time Mrs. Regina Chandler, instructor in charge of the sewing class or the adult education project, sponsored by the CWA, invited the league to an exhibit of the class's work, to be held in Giddings School on Thursday evening, March 22.

Others who spoke briefly were Miss Helen Capers, director of the Lincoln Playground; Mr. Nixon, chairman of the special committee appointed recently to interview the commissioners in regard to the removal of the garbage plant on New Jersey Avenue and K Streets, and B. T. Montgomery, president of the league, who told of a survey he had made of the distribution of hot lunches to school children.

Tennessee State Senior Dismissed for Article NASHVILLE, Tenn.—(ANP)—Following closely upon the heels of Ishmael Floy's expulsion from Fisk University two weeks ago for generally "radical" activities, including the authorship of a number of newspaper articles which his superiors disapproved, Tennessee State Agricultural and Industrial College has dismissed Robert C. B. Tieuel, a senior student in the school of journalism. Young Tieuel, who was prominent in student circles, was editor of a student publication, known as the "Tennessee Statesman." In its editorial columns Tieuel is said to have intemperately condemned the Fisk administration for its action in the Flory case. He is also said to have used his pen, rather freely in other controversial discussions.

Tf they succeed to organize men in all lines'of industry into unions under their guidance and control, we will suf- fer as to employment because of the avowed purpose and policy of the A.F. of L. to exclude colored people from certain lines. Negro laborers have every reason to believe that in two or three years of their dominating control the A.F. of L. will have eliminated all colored men now employed in the auto industry, or will relegate them to a class of work at the bottom. While we do not believe in “strike breaking” it would be a good thing for the auto industry (or any other) to take on colored men in place of the strikers. Take them and keep them. There can be found enough colored men in this country to operate any of these industries, with the possible exception of the highly technical work and the executive management. If used they should be made to know by the industry and by the NRA, and even the Presi- dent, that their lives will be safe and their employment secure. Ni “Daddy” Grace Convicted The conviction of “Daddy” Grace in E klyn, N.Y. for the violation of the Mann Act is only another instance of how far some of our “religious” leaders will go to prey upon the gullible and the ignorant class of our people. These various faith leaders, under the guise of Christianity, have built up in this country large groups of followers whose faith in their leaders cause them to sac- rifice for, bow to, and support in luxury this group of parasites. Now that the law has taken a hand in an effort to rid us of this type of men there is some hope of getting rid of them. However, with ignorance and super- stition deeply bedded in the minds of many of our people—our greatest hope of getting rid of these men lies in the matter of education of this group of People. Newspapers and civic organi- zations in every city in the east should begin a definite campaign to get rid of these “racketeering” preachers, bi- shops, “daddys” and would-be lords. ee Penitential Prayer for the Sin of Lynching A very prominent atheist once said in speaking to a large Negro audience, “You spend entirely too much money in the building of churches...” His point, not poorly taken, was that more and better results might be ob- tained if the battle against the persecu- tion of our race were waged in a dif- ferent way and from a different angle. Unquestionably his aim was to influ- ence our abandonment of solicitations to the Almighty. Religious instincts embedded in the Negro prohibit such a course. Yet there might be some benefits to be derived from weighing his advice. In the Christian Advocate of March 1, we find a prayer quite different from the type we have been Offering in the hope of seeing Christianity snutling out mob violence. Instead of laying the blame for unheeding our supplications at the door of Heaven, the author, the Rey. James Myers, industrial secretary. Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, suggests the adoption of z libéral attitude and the consequent as. sumption of the burden of responbility by the solicitor. The prayer of the Rev. Myers fol lows under the title of “Penitential Prayer for the Sin of Lynching”: “O God, how dare we lift our eye: to Thee, for we are guilty as a nation of tolerating the practice of vile mok murder of men. “If our prayers go unanswered be- fore Thy throne, call to our remem. brance Thine ancient rebuke of Thy people, that Thou wouldst not hear thei prayers while their hands were filled with blood. “Cleanse our hearts, we beseech Thee, of the dark sin of race prejudice; forgive us for our unbelief in the sacredness of human personality which Thou hast made in Thine own image; take away from us the uncontrolled passion of our hearts and that violence of spirit which would make beasts of us all. “Make us to know the awful wrath of God which rests upon those having any personal part in lynching, and up- on every community and state, and up- on our people as a whole, until we shall repent and turn away from this taking of human life. For against Thee and Thee only have we sinned and done this evil in Thy sight. O God, forgive us! “Help us now to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance that we may be redeemed from the foul clutches of this national evil, and may order all our ways in the fear and love of God.

Wormington, of the District Repair Shop, had recommended that all school janitors who fire furnaces should be replaced by licensed engineers, This seems to me to be a plan to force out colored janitors in erder to give jobs to many of the unemployed white engineers here. It has been the ten- cency during the past few years for private plants, buildings, and stores to hire only steam engineers who are licensed engineers and who are licensed electricians also, consequently that is why there is such a large number of idle white engineers, It is a known fact that only a very few, if any, colored janitors, are licensed engineers, therefore they would be at a disadvantage in obtaining employment under the proposed change. Many efficient janitors would not be able to obtain jobs in our schools because of the license requirements, Wormington is the same man The Tribune exposed last week as a Negro hater, and is a Florida native, of course. I hope that The ‘Tribune will make a thorough investigation of Wormington’s attack on the janitors of this city, the majority of whom are colored. ‘There is already creeping in, the policy of sending colored janitors, firemen, and engineers {o col- ored schools only. Such officials as Worming- ton should be ousted for their unfair and un- warranted prejudicial attitude. R. H. FORD, 1339 Ninth Street, N.W. See eS He Opposes Policies of the Lambda Rho ‘Gierme: To the Editor: On January 25, there was practiced and made evident the most conniving form of dis- crimination on the part of the officials of the Lambda Rho Gamma, ‘The cherges I have against the officials of this society are long and to my mind unan- swerable. The counts are as follows: The Lambda Rho Gamma, as a literary so- ciety supposed to stand for an intrepid reli- gious principle and ay impartial classification ef civic and material understanding—an in- nocuous investiture, according the spirit and the letter, per se. But the officials have de- famed the basic and underlying principles by resorting to coteries, A revamped body of these “officials” meeting as a board of cura- tors, stipulated new “rules” under the guise of official business meeting and majority vote. There was no majority vote; no called meeting for business. On the evening of the banquet, many pre- sentations were made of persons who had neither done anything attributively nor paid the “dues.” On the other hand, many persons were unrecognized and unpresented who had worked in support of the society and had paid thelvsmembership fees for more than a year, Many of these persons who were in the former class openly admitted this without having been questioned.

To the Editor: "As March 4 ushered in, the hour that marked the end of the Roosevelt first year as Presi- dent of the United States, one is prone to look backward and review whether this year has been successful or not. As soon as Roosevelt reached office, he de- clared the bank holiday which saved millions of people from losing their savings in what proved to be—decaying institutions. The N.R.A., later replaced by the C.W.A4,, was quickly organized under the leadership 61 competent white and colored directors. Under this organization the unemployed were benefit- ed either through compensation.or jobs, ‘In order to. increase means: by which indl- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1934 Kelly Miller Says | The Plight of the Negro College Graduate Is Lamentable baaginice ess incemeniaiar aie andr Mier elk Ey tas and lawyers dodging the penitentiary in quest of fees. Dr. Will Alexander, of Atlanta and New Orleans, president of Dillard University and head of the Southern Inter-Racial Commission. delivered the Charter Day address at Howard University on the second of March, He passed up all learned disquisition and polished dis- gourse which usually characterize such aca- demic occasions and struck directly at the grass roots of the Negro’s social structure. ‘What we shal eat, what we shall drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed constituted his chief concern. The professional and clite life of the race is ‘based upon an insecure foundation. There is no adequate self-sustaining middle class to support such a pretentious superstructure, The depression has precipitated the shock with an alarming suddenness. Ministers find themselves with impoverished congregations, doctors with impecunious patients, and lawyers with pover- ty stricken clients. Many of our professional class who hither- to flourished on the support of the masses are now hovering between the bread line and over- alls, School teachers are a little more fortu- rate ‘because they are supported by Public funds. The present generation of college students is facing this gloomy prospect. They are pre- paring to recruit the ranks of callings in which there is little likely prospects of an adequate livelihood, Not half of the two thousand last year's graduates have been able to find place- ment. Many of them are remaining in school to still further prepare themselves for the hoped for better day. They are living on com- pounded hopes. COLLEGE GRADUATES FACE NON-EXISTING EMPLOYMENT The white college world is not much better off. Last spring, the president of Johns Hop- kins University, addressing a class of 76 can- didates for the Ph.D, degree, advised them to seek employment in the C.C.C. at one dollar a day because ‘there was no outlook along the lines of their higher preparation. But. all is not dark that seems gloomy. ‘The higher learning still has its meaning and mission. ‘There are as many sick souls who need comfort, as many sick bodies that need healing, as many ignorant sufferers that need solace as there ever were. ‘The call for college-trained youth to admin- ister to human needs and necessities has never been louder than it is today. When I was a college youth fifty years azo the clarion call was to consecration, service and sacrifice. A little later a new motive invaded the college world. It was to command material sub- stance to meet the requirements of creature comforts, refinements and elegant living. ‘Who has not seen ministers prostitute the pulpit to profiteering, doctors splitting their energies between practicing medicine and pil- ing up profits, and lawyers dodging the peni- tentiary in quest of fees, STUDENTS WILL NOT SEEK SMALL CITIES The philanthropists, who with such high hopes inaugurated Negro colleges and univer- sities, have fortunately fallen to sleep before their eyes were permitted to see such a dis- appointing steht. T have heard a president o} Howard University urge his graduating clas: to go South to serve the masses amidst sup: pressed smiles and guffs of dissent. Another head of the’same institution regularly advises collegians to take up work in Brazo: Bottoms while the advice is received with thinly dis guised and visible disgust. But depression, like Providence, works in mysterious ways. It will turn the mind of the college generation from selfishness to service from the mercenary to the missionary motive Circumstances will force the missionars spirit which sends its devotees forth, not to be niinistered unto, but to minister to others. ‘The laborer is worthy of his hire, but in the vine vard of human service, the servant must think more of his labor than his hire. Ambitious Negro youth are faced with twe alternatives. They may sacrifice to win theit way through college and the professional school, with the prospect of recruiting the higher callings with barély a living income or they may decide to give up the professional idea and its preliminary college training anc enter at once the toiling world with the hope of making a better living. Young man and young woman, which of the two paths will you choose? The future of the race hangs largely on your answer. There must also be a small residue who will follow learning for its own sake. Of such is the kingdom of knowledge, viduals may be employed, beer was allowed te ha enh which was followed later hv lecalmené viduals may be employed, beer was allowed to be sold which was followed later by lezalized whiskey. No more does one hear the phrase, “We are now in depression,” buy people ave everywhere expressing their faith in the administration by stating, “Leave it to Roosevelt.” Because of his never failing ability to meet crisis after crisis when they appear, because of the support and faith that Congress has ‘shown, the people are not looking forward ta tomorrow as if hardships will face them again, ‘but as another day for Roosevelt to continue so that he can carry out his promises and bring back a greater prosperity.

Since most of these were “well-trained and well- educated Negroes” who have had the advantages of the best circles of both races, I reluctantly entered upon the task. With some timidity I tried to rehearse those incidents which persons not particularly versed in history would not be likely to know. After passing through the tremulous period of the first few minutes. however, I found that almost anything I had to say was new and striking. Mat~ ters that I had purposely omitted were referred to later in the eve- ning, much to my surprise, elicited comment indicating that these pro- moters of the drama knew prac- tically nothing about the possi- bilities of our background, I thought at first that these playwrights knew of Stephen Do- antes, Nuflo de Olando, Diaguilio, Cudoe) the Jazaica Matoona, and the heroes and heroines of = meres. But these names strui them as revelations from the un- known. Finally I mentioned the “Amistad” Captives and the ro- mance of the “Creloe,” but both of these sounded to them like fairy tales, I had difficulty in convincing them that these narratives belong to the sphere of reality. I saw then a crying need. If we are to have leaders in certain spheres, we should by all means get hold of them at an early age and set them in the right direction that they may lead the masses in the way everlasting. Madison Washington A Dramatic Subject Every Negro should krow the story of Madison Washington, the hero in the “Creole,” one of the most dramatic developments in our history. This man showed the ca- pacity of the Negro to respond to the greatest stimuli which have made life worth while, At the time that Madison Washington lived the traducers of Negoes were jst as busy as are today the so- ciologists in calmuniating the Ne- gro. It had been argued that Ne- gores could not develop an appre- ciation for certain finer things of life. Yet these traducers could not reasonably question the loyalty of the Negro bondmen who made their inhuman masters possible. They could not say that Negroes were lazy when they meekly bore the galling yoke of beasts of bur- den. They could not say that the Negroes were lustful when there were the outstanding cases of the champions of slavocracy who open- ly practice forced concubinage with Negro women and commercially il- licit relations with white females. However, the lascivious and adul- terous white who often snatched from ‘a Negro his wife and prosti- tuted her to the lowest purpose, |. sought, some sort of excuse in the consulation that the Negro did not know anything about such a seri- ous passion as love. Only white libertines understood the love of man for woman. They insisted that while the Negroes formed at. tachments of considerable duration these were due merely to the mat- ing instinct of the primitives. Fugitive Escapes To Canada . Madison Washington's career, however, is a striking refutation of all these absurdities. His life was dominated by two great pas: sions—his desire for freedom and his love for his wife. Although & slave on a Virginia plantatior with no hope for other than the humdrum of a beast of burden, he believed that he had been created with a capacity to enjoy blessings which others monopolized. He was not in the current of things anti- slavery, but he was in communion with the Great Spirit, The battle was.on in his soul; whether to bear the ordeal through which he was passing or risk his life for the opportunity to live more abun- es He-was determined to be ree. Starting out early one Saturday evening so as to have forty-eight hours travel away from bondage to freedom, he made his way to the free States and with the as- sistance of sympathetic friends reached Canada. There he blessed the mame of God that he had veached such a haven of rest in the land that was free. In Canada, however, he could not yet be happy, for he had carried Out only one vf the two purposes fof his life. Before he escaped from Virginia he had married a woman in whom he had found all the hap- piness that comes from an endur- jing attachment based upon real Jove. In leaving her he Tad pro- mised that he would never cease to labor to the end of bringing her to him on free soil. That vow had been registered in the great court above, and he thoroughly ap- preciated the sacredness of this responsibility. In Canada, how- ever. oniv the meant of existence Re ee ie tee ioe 4! morose that his unhappiness be- ‘came evident to everybody who ob- served him, He finally saw tha: he. could no longer hope to earn sufficient money. to purchase his wife. He decided, then, to ven- ture into the very land of slavery itself and snatch her from bond- age. He got together what cash he could in the near future, bought him a heavy broadeoth coat, and fitted into its especially prepared pockets thin, steel saws with which he intended to cut his way out of prison if captured. Thus equipped for the tremendous task, he set out for Virginiz. to deliver his Wife from the clutches of slavery. Returns to Virginia for Wife Arriving at the farm where, he had left Eliza, Madison hid dur- ing the first day and ventured forth the followng night. In the distance he heard some Negro¢s laughing and talking, and he cau- tiously joined them’ on the out- skirts of the crowd of what proved to be an old-fashioned’ corn-shuck- ing. Without disclosing his identi- ty, he found out on inquiry that Eliza was a servant at the same home where he had left her years before, He rushed immediately to the place and suddenly appeared before his wife. Having no thought of secing her husband at that mo- ment, she took him to be a ghost, and ‘screamed so loud that the planter’s household was immediate- ly aroused. Madison was overpow- ered, put in chains, and sent to the slave block in Richmond to be sold into the land of cotton, For days he wondered what became of Eliza. ‘A few days thereafter we? find Madison in chains on a coast-wise vessel en route to the New Orleans slave market. Madison was wise in his generation, however, and he still believed that he could outwit his captors. He first pretended that he was resigned to his fate and asked to be relieved of his chains to do the menial work required by the crew. Thus he went about the ship serving white men, but at the same time sounding the Negroes on the possibility of mutiny. Truth Stranger ‘Than Fiction “Men, we are on the high seas, now. We are beyond the jurisdic- tion of law of slavery. Although we are sailing under a United States flag, this country itself has no law of slavery. We are ap- proaching the West Indies which since 1888 has been declared fre: soil. If we can get control of thi: ship and bring It into one of thos ports, we shall be declared free by the laws of the British Empire Now you have the chance of your life. You will hardly have such an opportunity again. Some of us may die in the effort. We may have to take the lives of those who oppose us, but remember that there is no price too dear to be paid for freedom. Men, are you for us of against us?” ‘And every Negro whom he thus approached rang true. The daj and the hour were agreed upon At the appointed time the gong sounded on the upper deck. Every Negro not in chains rushed there: to. The whites quickly moved alsc by the signal readily discovered what they were facing, but too late to subdue the Negroes thus aroused A fight ensued; one slavetrader wa: Killed outright, the first mate ant ten of the crew were wounded; but these Jofty minded Negroes ‘ros above revenge and retaliation. Thei ‘object was not to take life, but t secure liberty. The ship was di rected into the port of Nassau. ‘After having everything brough! under control, Madison Washing: ton as captain of the vessel ordered a feast prepared and invited all these self-emancipated Negroes tc join him in a great rejoicing. Go- ing into the dining room as the hero of the hour, however, whom did he see? Eliza, his wife. She also had been sent to a slave pen in Richmond and when sold from that point had fortunately beer placed on the same ship with her husband, who had finally liberatec the woman whom he loved. | This and That We do not say that a man is good because of one good act so, should not deem him bad because of onc foul act. « The only saze way out of a fight is not to get into one. ‘The pecularity about a law is the amazing amount of breakage it can undergo and still exist.

Guests included Miss Athalia THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big. Bold. Wonderful Men Have you met Miss Gladys Rotan of the Howard University School of Music? With her name sounding sort of Frenchy and being as lovely as she is, you'd imagine that she came all the way from some place across the sea. She didn't though. Just a little West Virginian, but what a girl! If you ever get a case of deep dark "Blues" (there's really no reason why you should, for "this world that we're a livin' in, is mighty hard to beat; you get a thorn with every rose, but aren't the roses sweet?" But if you should happen to get a heavy blue or maybe a dark brown feeling some evening, rush over to 2028 4th Street, find Mr. Thomas Heathman and listen a while to his ripping, rollicking monologues. Funny? Why, at a smart affair the other night, in his own inimitable way Mr. Heathman pulled one about a preacher, and the last I saw of some of the guests they were trying to piece together their broken and "cracked up" sides. Don't scold your pretty debuntantes or your lovely sub-deb daughters if they forget to do the dishes, or fail to mop the floor. Bear with them just a week or more (it can't be so long now, April 13th is the day you know for the N.N.A.'s Big Fashion Show). You see, day by day under the expert direction of that gracious and utterly untiring artist, Miss Adrienne Marshall, dainty young things are assembling for your attention; a program the memory of which will still persist long, long hours after. So, for the sake of the New Negro Alliance and the sake of the Fashion Show, deal gently with all the sweet creatures who are helping the N.N.A., along. Not all of the interesting D.C. teachers are at Mott or Morgan of Lovejoy or the other schools in town. Some of them are at the National Training School for Girls way out on a hill on Conduit Road. So, when you see charming Miss Elsie Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, leaving her pretty home at 1732 P Street, Northwest, early in the morning or late some Sunday eve, she may not be for fun or even in quest of health. She's probably bound for her duties at the Training School for girls. So this is baseball season and "Sonny Boy" is singing "Happy Am I." Never heard of "Sonny Boy"? He's the cute little less-than-a-half-dozen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Samuel's of 1004 Irving Street, Northwest, and when it comes to twitching and twirling and whirling about before he pitches a ball. Cronin's crowd could never—but wait. When April 16th rolls around and you're in the baseball park, just keep your ears wide open when they home-towners make a run and you'll hear a tiny "rooter" sing out in wildest glee. "That's the team for me!" You'll see him too, perhaps, perched high in that park somewhere a holding to his pa (when it's ladies' day, he Scott and Mesdames Gladys Eggleton, Mae Peters Osborne, and Willie Wilson. Club prizes were awarded to Miss Kyles and Miss Bosfield. Guest prizes were awarded to Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Osborne. CLUB UNIQUE The Club Unique met last Thursday at the residence of Walter Clarkson, 1410 Swann Street, Northwest. Whist was played and a repast served after the brief business meeting.

Vass, secretary-treasurer; Mitchell Dorsey, sergeant-at-arms; Walter Clarkson, Quander Jenkins; Floyd Jones, William Stevenson, William Sutton, Lewis Rucker, and Herbert Terry. !!!h flex_shrd1_shrd_shrd_shrdluh THE FLUER DE LIS SOCIAL CLUB The Fluer-de-Lis Social Club was entertained by its vice president, Mrs. Elsie Baker, at her residence, 1326 Florida Avenue, Northwest, last week.

THE BROADMOOR WHIST CLUB The Broadmoor Whist Club met at the home of its financial secretary, Mrs. Alville Dorsey, 1212 C Street, Southeast, last Thursday evening. Whist was a feature of the evening's entertainment. High club honors went to Mesdames Minnie Smith, first; Constance Hill, second; and Loretta Johnson, third. Guest honors went to Miss Emma Pinckney. Other guests present included Miss Esther Washington and Miss Rebecca Concee. Club members present included Mrs. Louise Contee, Mrs. Laura Johnson, Mrs. Ethel Holmes, Mrs. Lida Smith, and Mrs. Bertha Fillmore. FUTURISTIC SOCIAL CLUB The Futuristic Social Club held its weekly meeting at the residence of Mrs. Dorothy Foster, 1398 Lanier Place, Northwest. Cards featured the evening's entertainment. First prize went to Mrs. Pauline Smith, second to Miss Leona Wright, and booby prize went to Mrs. Mae Curtis. Members present included Mrs. escorts his lovely ma). 'T will be "Sonny Boy" Samuels. And if you happen to lose your score card or maybe a program or so, don't worry very much. For if you sit right close to "Sonny Boy" ne'll tell you every "what" and "why" and "wherefore" of the whole of Cronin's crowd. Now that Mrs. Helen Curtis, charming wife of Dr. Arthur Curtis of U Street, has accepted the chairmanship of the entertainment committee of the N.A.A.C.P., won't there be fun? With smart society circuses and ravishing revues; with children's shows and what-nots, Washington will soon be as—well, just wait 'till Mrs. Curtis's committee "prepares to proceed" to start something. What a lovely advertisement for her business (she's a beautician) is Mrs. Grace Falker, 431 Elm Street! She is absolutely able to achieve a chic appearance in the simplest sort of a costume. On St. Patrick's Eve, of course, she was wearing green and looking delightfully appealing all wrapped up in a warm coat and just the right kind of a tricky brown hat. The Progressive Relief Association of the Veterans' Administration and the members, friends and well-wishers of Plymouth Congregational Church are getting all intensely interested in two kinds of choruses. There's the Crescendo Male Chorus and the Suavita Female Chorus and when those two choruses strike up their separate chords on Friday, April 5th, what a chorus that will be! Mr. Walter Tate, popular Brooklander, is rushing right and left in a despatesale endeavor to "tune" things up. He'll get harmony a plenty, too. For the Tates (Mr. and Mrs.) are like that. Whatever they put their hands to (be it a big soiré or a grand glorified chorus) you'll always be terribly sorry when it's time to start for home. If you ever get an invitation to visit Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Gaskins, 1722 61 Street, Northwest, grab your chance in a hurry. And if Mrs. Gaskins is entertaining a club or something, go that much quicker. For in that case it will probably happen, as it did the other night, that Mrs. Gaskins had gone all about that home and added extra touches (as if it were not already the divinest sort of place). How these happy Gaskins do work together, too! There was Dr. Everett Gaskins of 15th Street, delighting his mother's guests with his tender violin tunes. There was pretty daughter Gladys, helping all she could, but with one eye on the clocks: (there was a dance on at the Ho: ard University Hall and she must get there soon or else). There was Mr. Gaskins doing a dozen and one things here and there. But the loveliest thing to me was to hear the charming Mary (that's Mrs. Gaskins) say to her big jolly husband as she assigned him another task. "Never mind, dear, you're tired." And then to see the smile he gave her and the one she flashed right back. Moe Curtis, president of the club; Mrs. Dorothy Foster, vice president; Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall, Mrs. Irene Sewel' Mrs. Ella Wiggs, Mrs. Pauline Smith, Miss Annie 'Fuller, and Miss Leona Wright.

MARCEL WAVING $35 COURSE FOR ONLY $8 EIGHT NEEDY CHILDREN GIVEN RELIEF AT PRECINCT STATION Anacostia Pupils Get Shoes, Clothes from No.11 Polieemen Direct emergency relief, as administered by members of the Police Department under a new rule, became a reality the past week, to a small group of colored children in Anacostia who were given shoes and clothing from a nearby store on an order issued by Officer Altus Moore, of the Eleventh Precinct Ragged clothing and soleless shoes, which were being worn by several small children in the Birney School, attracted the attention and sympathy of the Relief Committee of the Birney School Parent-Teacher Association, and Mrs. Helen C. Wills, the chairman of the committee, escorted these unfortunate children to the station, and requested that, some aid be given them. Officer Moore, who is in charge of relief and school patrols in this precinct, issued the necessary "clothing orders," from his emergency relief tickets, and all the children were fitted out, in a nearby store. These children ranged in ages from 6 to 13 years, some of whom claimed that they had never before had new shoes and clothing, and all of them were very happy, and are not able to attend school with comfort. Commissioner George E. Allen recently issued an order authorizing policemen to issue relief tickets for food or clothing when the need was drastic. The District Commissioner's order was the result of reports that relief for families in destitute circumstances was often neglected. A total of 48 cases was given emergency relief within a few hours after Commissioner Allen's order was put into effect. Asks Why Negro Papers are Not in Library of Congress Bernard C. Johnson, Jr., a correspondent of the Washington News makes the following pertinent inquiry: "There are newspapers in the Library of Congress from every State in the Union, the District, Canada, the Philippines, Porto I, Hawaii, Great Britain, British possessions, and from other foreign lands; newspapers printed in Armenian, French, German, Italian and Spanish. "There can not be found one Negro newspaper. Yet, in the periodical division Negro periodicals can be found. This is striking. "Why cannot we find the Tribune, Chicago Defender, Atlanta World, Louisiana Weekly and other Negro newspapers on the racks? Put the Negro newspaper in the reading room and let the Negro's journalism be appreciated." . CLASSIFIED ONE LARGE ROOM in quiet family; comfortably heated; employed lady preferred. Call North 9012.

Hitt in the Police Court, Tuesday morning, when the judge took Jackson's personal bond. Policeman Jackson was arrested last Sunday for being drunk and destroying private property. He was placed in a cell at the Ninth Precinct Station. While in the cell he tore joose the cot from the wall, police said.

CHARWOMEN CASE PRESENTED LEWIS J. C. Austin, representing the Inter-Church Federation of Chicago, conferred with Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Wednesday, in respect to the summary dismissal of sixty colored women employed in the Chicago postoffice. According to Dr. Austin, these women were transferred from the Treasury to the postoffice after their status had been changed to that of substitute employees. He asserts that most of the women had been on their jobs from eight to 28 years. Shortly after the transfer, they were given identical letters, charging inefficiency, derelection of duty and bad morals. They were dismissed and their jobs given to white charwomen. Dr. Austin asked Senator Lewis to see that the women were given a proper hearing and, if the charges were sustained, to replace them with other colored women. Congressman Oscar DePriest arrived the conference with the Democratic Senator and had Dr. Austin as guest in the Congressional Dining Room. LEGAL NOTICES L. MELENDEZ KING.

M.-Why can't I get along with others where I work, and will I get an increase in wages? Ans.: If you and the COOK don't stop fighting, you will BOTH lose your jobs instead of getting a raise. People get tired of that. Don't answer back when a quarrel starts—and the cook better do the same thing. M. M.-Will my son be successful, and how can I help? Ans.: I see your son being successful in the line of work he is now doing. You have done YOUR SHARE-stand by now and let the kid DO HIS STUFF. S. M.—Is my brother living or dead?

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE A very famous movie star has whispered this simple little secret to us. We can well afford to take this hint as her own face bears testimony to its merit. It is this: After washing the face in the usual manner adways follow with an ice cold rinse. Just put several ice cubes in a basin of water and dash this very cold water over the face. The skin immediately glows, the texture is refined and the face is firmed like that of a baby. ***** A movie star who is noted for her youthful vigor and the bright sparkle in her eye gives us her secret thus: whenever she can snatch a nap she does so, no mat- CAR YOU PLACE Jacan Stage R.

I predict an improvement in your affairs before the end of summer. R. E. J.—Will they drill on my father's place this year? Ans: There seems to be some obstacles to be overcome before they can start drilling on your father's farm—and I'm afraid he'll have to wait longer than he anticipates, for his PROFITS IN OIL. Anxious—Why did I lose my job over a year ago? Ans: You had an ACCIDENT, and during the time you lost, some one else made inroads with your employers. L. M. A. H—I am a widow and the man I love seems to be crazy about me until lately. Will I ever hear from him again? Ans: I should think that after he failed to answer any of your THREE LETTERS you wrote him—you would come to the conclusion that your PREACHER FRIEND IS FICKLE. D. G.—Will I be successful in getting the back wages due me? Ans.: I believe you will—if you keep right on their toes and do not allow them to forget it. Finally, they will pay you to get RID OF YOU. L.

Carried to Freedmen's Hospital, he was treated by Dr. R. M. Coleman, of that institution's emergency staff, for incised wounds of the left brow and chin. His condition was reported as no serious. SPECIAL SERVICE HELD IN HONOR OF DR. J. LAWSON Frelinghuysen University School of Religion Honors Pastor The School of Religion of Frelinghuysen University, under the direction of Dean Rev. H. T. Medford, was accorded a special service, Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. John Childs, pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, as a mark of respect to the late Dr. Jesse Lawson, under whom the Rev. Childs had taken courses at Frelinghuysen. The Rev. John W. Lavall, a member of the faculty, presided at the service, and special music was furnished by the junior choir of the church. Lucius O. Robertson, president of the senior class of the university, rendered a solo, his own composition, dedicated to the mothers of the Negro race. Dr. Anna J. Cooper, president of the university, was also on the program, commending the students of the department on their devotion and earnestness in the service of religion and their loyalty to their alma mater. Delivers Trial Sermon A large audience turned out last Thursday night at Metropolitan Baptist Church for the trial sermon of John Edward Morris, of the junior class of the university. Mr. Morris acquitted himself most creditably, according to the verdict of the Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the church, who paid a high tribute of praise to Frelinghysen for the quiet but effective service it is rendering the community and the race. A lecture on "Architecture as Influencing and Influenced by the Life and Aspirations of a People" will be given by Dr. Cooper in the near future, it was announced this week. Illustrative slides accompanying these lectures will show the connection between "living" and "building" from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to Saracenic and Cothic Europe. WOMAN IS FINED $5 AS "REMINDER" Court Imposes Light Sentence on Alleged Assailant of Louise Green A fine of "five dollars just to serve as a reminder" that she should keep away from her accuser, was levied by Judge Isaac R. Hitt, in Police Court Monday morning on Almeta Williams, 627 K Street, Southeast. The girl was convicted on a charge of assault growing out of an alleged attack on Louise Green, 624 K Street, Southeast, last Friday. According to the testimony in the case, Miss Williams struck Mrs. Green in the face after she had been "called names" by the latter. The "names" were said to have been fired at the accused girl following an argument over the use of a dish towel on a frying pan. The story as told the court was to the effect that Mrs. Green's objection to the use of a dish towel in the drying of a skillet resulted in the passing of words between Miss Williams, who at the time of the argument was a tenant of Mrs. Green, and her landlady. As a result of the argument Miss Williams was ordered to move. She did. When they met in the street later, Miss Williams and Mrs. Green renewed the argument begun in the house. Taking the stand in her own defense, Miss Williams told the court that she struck Mrs. Green in retaliation. She admitted striking the complainant, but denied that it was done before she had been first attacked. Judge Hitt voiced a satisfaction that the assault had been provoked but imposed a light fine as "a reminder." V. F. Calverton to Speak Before League Sunday V. F.

DOUGLASS'S AMBITION WAS TO MAKE HOME A NATIONAL SHRINE Board Approves Plan Of School Children for Upkeep of Grounds April 3 Has Been Set for Day When Pupils Will Be Asked to Give One Cent to Repair Steps Leading to Home, and to Landscape Lawns The nation's school children will contribute to the upkeep of the grounds surrounding Cedar Hir: home of Frederick Douglass in Anacostia, according to an announcement by M. Grant Lucas president of the Columbian Educational Association, this week. Each child in the public school will be aske to give one cent on April 3. Board Approves Plan "This will advise you that the board of education at its meeting held March 7 approved of its committee on student activities recommending that the board authorize the pupils in divisors 11-13 of the District to make voluntary contributions of one cent each for the memorial home of Frederick Douglass." Girls Injured pair. The hill surrounding the home has been badly damaged by the rains and storms of many years and in many places the concrete steps leading to the home have been washed away. The place was at one time surrounded by many cedar trees, but many of these have died. Various civic associations and parent-teacher organizations in the city have planted cedar trees about the grounds, but it will take some time for these to grow. Most of the furniture and other objects in the home remain the same as they were when in use by Douglass. His library is exactly the same even with his favorite books just as he left them. Wanted Home a Memorial Much credit is due the late Mrs. Helen Pitts Douglass for preserving the home as a memorial by the Negro race. Mr. Douglass left in his will, Cedar Hill, to her, but neglected to have his will witnessed by three witnesses, which is necessary under the District code relative to real estate. After his death, Mrs. Douglass tried to get the heirs to agree with her to relinquish all of their rights to Cedar Hill in order to make it a national monument and memorial to the memory of her husband. The heirs refused to do so. In consequence, Mrs. Douglass was obliged to buy the interest of the heirs for $15,000 in cash, which she paid. This placed Cedar Hill entirely in her hands to dispose of as she desired. Tells of Slave Struggle In her will Mrs. Douglass decided to make Cedar Hill for the colored people what Mount Vernon is to whites, to gather into it all of the memento connected with Mr. Douglass's life, and everything would be collected respecting the history of the anti-slavery struggle. The Douglass home is beautifully situated on a high hill overlooking Washington. There may be found authentic documents in connection with the early struggles of Douglass as a young man, the receipt for his sale as a slave, and his work in England for American slaves. Sold for $711.66 There has been much discussion about the exact sum Douglass was sold for. However, this is cleared up by the "bill of sale" which is in a glass case. The amount was $711.66. In a statement in regards to children contributing one cent, Mr. Lucas said, "We are inspired in this project by the worthy example of the children of Cleveland who presented to the city of Cleveland the magnificent statue of Lincoln, which stands in front of the Board of Education Building. We are inspired also by the precedents of Wakefield, the birthplace of George Washington; Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; and the U. S. Battleship Constitution." Teachers May Contribute Although the plan is for children to contribute, teachers may also give to the project. It has been estimated that it will cost some $10,000 to put the grounds in good shape and to preserve many of the fine old trees which are said to be over 100 years old. Following the beautifying of the grounds a plan is on foot to have all Negro children to make a pilgrimage to the home where they may see and learn of the hardships Douglass suffered in his battles to have the curse of slavery abolished.

At present there are no skilled Negro laborers in the shop over which Wormington is in charge. Favors Dismissal Mr. Quinn made his remark when Charles L.
