Baker Brothers Indicted In Prudential Bank Shortage "Daddy" Grace "Resting" at His Palatial Logan Circle Residence Leader of House of Prayer for All Peoples Loses Diamond Rings and Several Hundred Dollars From Bag Enroute to Washington A C. LUCIEN SKINNER who at one time contemplated a flight to Liberia, landed in the toils of the law this week' when he was charged in the Police Court Tuesday morning on a bad check charge. Skinner is alleged to have passed a worthless check on a downtown furniture store for a small amount. He was granted a continuance while he tries to "contact" with funds to make the check good. Daily papers credited Skinner with promoting a short-lived flight to Abyssinia and also said he was feted in Harlem before the ill-fated flight ended in the Harlem River. The dailies got Skinner mixed with Herbert Julian, whose ship landed in the river. Julian at one time was an officer to the Abyssinian emperor, before he cracked up the emperor's plane and was asked to leave the country. ELDER MICHAUX DENIES CHARGES ELDER MICHAUX DENIES CHARGES Elder Michaux stated in an interview with a Tribune reporter that the charge made against him by W. Herman Lucas, of ejecting him from a meeting held at the Garnet-Patterson school auditorium by the Industrial Savings Bank for its depositors in the interest of its reopening, is all untrue. He stated that Lucas was put out by the janitor and one of the ushers. "Mr. Lucas's ejection was brought about because of his constant disturbing the meeting by interfering with every speaker, having no regard whatever for the appeal of Jesse Mitchell, who was presiding over the meeting. "The first uproar started when Mr. Mitchell called upon the Rev. James H. Marshall, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Southwest, to open the meeting with prayer. Mr. Lucas immediately rose and objected to the prayer, saying that he did not believe in prayer, and had not prayed in forty years; and he continued to interfere with every speaker until he created such an excitement that the meeting could not be continued until he was ejected." Elder Michaux said that he put Mr. Lucas's grip and hat where he could get them when he was being taken out, and for this Mr. Lucas desires to collect $50,000. Bishop Charles Manuel Grace, who was sentenced to a year and a day in Brooklyn, N.Y., last week on a Mann Act charge, arrived in Washington this week where he is "resting" at his palatial home at 11 Logan Circle. All efforts by Tribune reporters to reach the head of the House of Prayer for All People were futile. Two secretaries told reporters that "Daddy" Grace was resting. However, the "Bishop" answered the telephone on Tuesday, but he refused to discuss his case. He said that people did not know of the good work he was doing, and his side of the story had never been told. A secretary said that Miss Minnie Lee Campbell 20-year-old Harlen Done player who charged the "dow" with being the father of THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E., Wa WASHINGTON, D.C.

"Bishop" Grace speaks with a foreign accent and claims that he is the spiritual leader of 200,000 followers. Bad luck followed "Daddy" Grace here as he reported to police he had lost diamond rings valued at $1,500, 10 money orders, and several hundred dollars in cash on his arrival. Police were informed that the valuables, in a traveling bag, were stolen while he was en route here from Brooklyn.

Washington, director of Negro Work of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, go into effect, as is expected, in the immediate future. In co-operation with the rural rehabilitation program of Harry L. Hopkins and Colonel Lawrence Westbrook, Director Washington has worked out a plan whereby it is hoped that every destitute Negro rural family will be provided with a home, with live stock, such as cows and chickens, and with seeds for produce in order that no family may go without sustenance for the next six months at least. In addition, an elaborate system of rural public works has been developed, to provide each one of the these families with a cash income to purchase clothing and other necessities which they cannot produce or manufacture themselves. An Important Move This is probably the most important advance that has been given the nine million run. Negroes of the South since emancipation. "BISHOP" SIMS TO BE BURIED IN IOWA HOME "BISHOP" SIMS TO BE BURIED IN IOWA HOME "Bishop" John Sims, a former slave and an employee of the Senate barber shop for almost fifty years, will be buried in his home town of Oskaloosa, Iowa, the Tribune learned this morning. Mr. Sims, who was perhaps the best-beloved man on Capitol Hill, died late Sunday afternoon at the age of 93. The "Bishop" got his title from his preaching proclivities and hymn singing while on the job about the Capitol. He was pastor of the Church of the Holiness in Anacostia, and numbered many prominent members of the Senate among his friends. During the brief illness which preceded his death, he was visited by many members of the upper house of congress, who expressed heartfelt regret at his passing. Just before he died in his little home at 18 Fifth Street, Northeast, he said feebly, "Give my love to all the Senators."

It voted favorably on a resolution by Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois. The proposal will no doubt be presented to the House for action early in April. Mr. DePriest questioned the right of the chairman of the Accounts Committee, Representative Warren, Democrat, of North Carolina, to keep members of the colored race out of the restaurant. 145 Sign Resolution Mr. DePriest on Monday obtained the 145 signatures necessary to force House consideration of his resolution to investigate the barring of colored people from eating in the restaurant.

Rural industries, such as canning factories, are to be developed as part of Mr. Hopkins's plan for rural rehabilitation system. It is Mr. Washington's plan to have Negroes integrated into this setup as well as in every other phase of the Relief Administration's enormous rural program. Rural Case Workers Negro rural case worker have been recommended by Mr. Washington in every county of every State where there is a considerable number of Negroes. These case workers will be persons with an agricultural background, such as graduates of Land Grant Colleges, upon which background has been superimposed some instruction in the technique of case work investigation. This enormous program, fostered by Mr. Washington, will increase the number of Negro agricultural and home demonstration agents from the small figure of 275 in the whole country, now employed by the United States Department of Agriculture, to a figure somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 employed by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.

Ambrogi operates a delicatessen store at 238 Rhode Island Avenue, and recently applied for a license at that address, but was refused when white residents on Rhode Island Avenue protested. Following the refusal, Ambrogi sought to open the store on Florida Avenue, which is in a Negro neighborhood. Residents protesting against the license were represented by Attorneys J. Flipper Derricotte and Willaim I. Blake. Ambrogi recently was picketed by members of the New Negro Alliance for failure to employ colored in his Rhode Island Avenue store, which is supported by colored, although it is located in a white block. Residents pointed out to the board that the make-up of the 200 block of Florida Avenue is the same as the 200 block of Rhode Island Avenue, with practically all property owners. The board took the matter under advisement. Haitian President Here, Seeks Financial Freedom President Stenio Vincent, of Haiti, reached this city Monday to confer with President Roosevelt and members of the state department relative to the early removal of American control over Haitian customs receipts. President Roosevelt has speeded up the program begun by ex-President Hoover to withdraw from Haiti many of the departments of supervision installed after American intervention by Democrats in 1915. Under an executive agreement reached between this government and Haiti last summer, the last of the American marines are to depart in October of this year. However, the United States has insisted on control of Haiti's pocketbook. NOTICE The office of The Washington Tribune will be open for business each evening during the week until 10 p.m. Dr. S. Lucas Lea Prepare for Go Atlantic City Physician Countries in Interest Will Be Second ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — With the sailing of Dr. Stanley L. Lucas for tropical ports on last Thursday, another definite move was made toward the promotion of a proposed good will flight to Pan-American countries in the interests of the colored race. Dr. Lucas, who is the executive secretary of the National Negro Aeronautical Society, sailed from New York City on the S. S. Colombia. He will confer with prominent citizens and officials of Haiti and Latin American Republics regarding rules regulating air travel and aeronautical facilities that may be available to the aviators. The South American flight will be the second link in a program which was outlined last year by a group of public-spirited persons who saw an opportunity to use aviation as a means of advancing the prestige of the race. Through the Negro Aviation Promotion Society of America, which has J. Bernard Johnson, of Newark, as its president, and an aviation committee composed of outstanding leaders in Philadelphia and vicinity, funds are being raised to finance the project. It is expected that other members INDICTMENT LISTS 12 COUNTS Embezzlement of Two Liberty Bonds and $8,836 In Cash Charged Twelve separate counts of embezzlement were included in a joint indictment returned by the District Grand Jury against Edward A. and Clarence S.

The final count cited the brothers for the destruction of records from July 25, 1923, to Sep- E. W. Baker member 1. 1933. Bond Remains Same The much-postponed case was brought to its climax Tuesday morning when the brothers were hailed before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, who after hearing the testimony of the government's principal witness, ordered them held for the action of the grand jury. The bond of $5,000 affixed shortly after the pair was taken into custody at their home, 654 Giardar Street, Northwest, on September 18, last, was allowed to remain unchanged. The shortages have only to do with the Prudential Bank. Its subsequent consolidation with the Industrial Savings Bank did not affect the status of the latter institution which is now undergoing preparations for re-opening. Twelve Counts The indictments were drawn up on the evidence presented by Eugene C. Sauer, government investigation agent for the Department of Justice. Neither of the defendants testified at the preliminary hearing. The twelve counts and the charges are as follows: first, embezzlement of $700 on January 13, 1932; second, of $L$63.02 on April 15, 1932; third, $1,000 on September 26, 1932; fourth, $788 on April 27, 1932; fifth, $500 on February 24, 1932; sixth, $600 on January 25, 1932; seventh, $45 on April 14, 1931; eighth, $1,000 on December 26, 1931; tenth, $50 on January 28, 1932; and eleventh, two Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds of $1,000 and $500 value. May 23, 1932. The twelfth includes the alleged destruction of records listed in the following paragraph. Destroyey Records "On September 1, 1933," the indictment read, "the defendants, with intent to defraud the Prudential Savings Bank, did mutilate, destroy, abstract and conceal certain records or general ledger accounts entitled 'Savings Deposits' for the period from July 25, 1923, to May 25, 1932, and Teller's Cash Settlement Sheets for July 14 and July 18, 1930; August 25, 25, 26 and 27, 1930; October 14, 22 (Continued on page 2) out the country will volunteer assistance. In an interview, prior to his departure, Dr. Lucas said, "Many well-thinking people are beginning to realize that the difficulties confronting us as a race are due to the fact that our aims and aspirations are so little understood by other peoples. Improved racial relations are as essential to us as protective legislation. No other method can so effectively, and at such small cost change the false viewpoint and attitude that millions of people have toward the colored race as the successful completion of the good will program that was started last July when colored aviators made a round-trip transcontinental flight. Through properly supported aerial ambassadors, every colored citizen of this country will have a chance to be more highly regarded at home and abroad." Dr. Lucas is a member of the Atlantic City Board of Education and a health officer of the resort. An ardent aviation enthusiast, he has taken many flying trips. He was accompanied by his wife on Rev.

April 1, 1931 CONFESSING AND FOLLOW- ING CHRIST Matt. 16:13-26. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. —Matt. 16:16. Since God is a Spirit, and the attributes of Him which govern and rule His Kingdom are also spiritual, Jesus was sent into the world to reveal these attributes to humanity. These attributes are: Justice, Wisdom, Power and Love (Rom. 1:20). Matthew, the writer of the life and doings of Jesus in parables and miracles, tells how Jesus revealed this first attribute—Justice —to the people, by healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, causing the lame to walk, etc. The Golden Text of the 18th of March says, "Ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened until you." (Matt. 7:7.) By healing this woman's daughter He demonstrated to the Jews that God was no respector of person but would do justice to all who would come to Him in faith without doubting. In the lesson of April 1, Matthew is still the writer, and the lesson deals with confession, faith, and the church (Matt. 16:16-18). The subject, "The Gospel of the Kingdom." The gospel means good news of the coming Kingdom of Jesus which is to be set up in the earth. The first Kingdom that God gave to Adam to rule over and subdue was lost to him by disobedience, and Adam received the just sentence of death because of his disobedience, and brought wreck and ruin on the kingdom given to him by the Almighty (Gen. 3:17-18). All the foundations of the kingdoms and governments of this earth that have been laid by the ideas, and plans of humanity, instigated by Satan have proved to be sandy and have fallen and are still falling. (Matt. 7:26-27.) Jesus came into the world to redeem rescue, and restore this kingdom and its subjects, tear down its buildings, dig up its foundation, de- The Christian Endeavor Society of Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P Streets, Northwest, will hold services at 6 a.m. Easter Sunday morning.

The Bible says it will be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and Jesus Christ, the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:19-22.) The foundation stones must be first called, chosen, and prepared and made fit to be laid for the building to be erected upon, so that when the great Master Builder comes again to gather the stones they will be ready. The preparation of the foundation's material is being done during the "Gospel Ag:" Christ did not seem very anxious about the Kingdom itself, but He was concerned about the stones of the foundation; how they should be prepared and be made ready when He comes again. A very peculiar thing about the Kingdom of Jesus, the corner stone is laid on the top of the building and the rest of the stones are built up to it, proving beyond a doubt that the heavenly phase of the Kingdom is laid in heaven, and the earthly phase upon earth. How to get into the heavenly phase (the church) and be one of the foundation stones is by confession, faith, baptism by water, and with the Holy Spirit, and with fire (attesting, and trial) through which all the stones will have to pass and die with Christ, and when He comes the church will be resurrected, and be born again by the Spirit into the Kingdom of the Father, and become like Him and see Him as He is. (St Luke 3:5-) The first king and queen and his kingdom had not the power of everlasting life, but the second king and queen (Christ and His church) will have the power within to give life to all the subjects of His Kingdom who walk into the Highway of Holiness upon the easy terms of His reigning power. (Isa. 35: 8, 9, 10.) There could be more said upon this subject, but I am only dealing with Jesus, the Rock, and the church, the material that will constitute the solid foundation of Christ's coming Kingdom, which is to be the last and everlasting kingdoms of this earth (Dan. 7:14-27). Memorial services for the Rev. William L. Washington, for seven years pastor of Zion Baptist Church, were held Sunday in the church auditorium, the principal address being made by the Rev. J. L. S.

The Younger Set By MORR/S MURRAY The Wickey Wackey Woole help their annual dance at the Y.W.C.A. swatcoat (gym to you) last Friday night. Mary Winston and her crew of seven others entertained the Apex basketball team of Atlantic City. Contee gave an exhibition of the Joe Bingham dance. From a committee of three the following girls were selected as the most popular at the dance: Jean Taylor, Patricia Stewart, Miriam Robinson, Yvonne Maxwell, and of course Alberta Ridgley. Dunbar has awakened to the fact that some form of entertainment should be given the student body. The responsibility has been given to the athletic association. It is now left to Woodrow Derricotte and his cabinet to bring results. The Chums pulled a fast one several weeks ago by throwing a couple party. The boys outnumbered the girls two to one. What couples? The big bad wolves crashed the little Pigs' (M.M.'s) party some time ago at a certain Q Street house. The house floor walker huffed and puffed until the wolves were forced to leave and told never to darken that door again. Just think, such popular girls! Yvonne Jones asked yours truly to ask a certain popular senior boy to take her to the W.W.W.'s dance. Could it have been Willard Ross? Florence Jackson stagged to the Sophs' dance at Armstrong last Friday. Could it have been F. L. or H. L.? Threll Smith trouped to the W.W.W.'s dance with the popular Fullck boy.

Cadets will cut short their holidays for a chance to participate in the parade. Every drill day, led by the band the brigade moves around the streets in column of platoons. This year, the 25th Regiment under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Hawkins, will lead the brigade. The brigade band under the direction of Captain Aruna Tildon, is helping to give rythm to the cadets. At Armstrong:—It has been said that Charles Henry Ford (I don't think that he is related to the auto manufacturer) has his cagle eye on a certain young co-ed at Dunbar. Whis-a-match? Lieutenant Charles Williams has a favorite standby (Norma H.). Both are members of the Armstrong "Torch" staff. Nice team work is expected.

SAYS SOUTH STILL SORE FOR BEING LICKED IN WAR (Continued from page 2) (Continued from page 9) enough and small enough to take it out on you. The south lost the war." Dr. Russell intimated that the south is still "sore" because it was defeated during the 1 Civil War. V. H. Franklin, president of the forum, opened the meeting and introduced F. C. Farrar who presided. Mr. Farrar was in a group that was refused service in the House Restaurant a few weeks ago. Harlan E. Glazier, white, a member of the Socialist party who was also refused service in the restaurant when he was accompanied by colored persons, told of his experiences. Mr. Glazier declared the affair was a disgrace to the Capital. His criticized Senator Copeland (Democrat), of New York who conveniently left the city when a protest was carried to his office. "Senator Copeland can tell his colored constituents in New York, that he was in Florida and at the same time tell his white constituents that he does not favor colored people, eating with white." First Tests Failed The successor also stated that his group was served on two days when he had Mr. Farrar and Ralph Binche, of Howard University, in the group. Evidently these two were fair enough to pass and were given service. However, when the Rev. J. F. Whitfield, pastor of the Christian Church, who is dark, joined the group they were told to go to a cement restaurant "with service just as good." However, they refused to leave the table for some 45 minutes. "We are in this thing to win," he declared, "and we will see if the constitution means anything or not. We shall see if Johnson (P. H. Johnson), white, manager of the restaurant), who is a political hack can secede from the constitution." Mrs. Russell who also was in a group that went to the restaurant said that "it seems silly to try to divide and classify humans according to color and shade of complexions anymore than to try to classify according to the shade of hair or eyes." The Rev. Mr. Brooks paid a tribute to the white persons who "go out of their way to help us and so doing incur the displeasure of their race. Other speakers were the Rev. Whitfield and Miss Dorothy Alden, white, who stated that segregation was due to ignorance. Following the meeting a resolution was passed condemning segregation and commending the stand taken by Congressman Oscar DePriest who is trying to have Representative Warren.

North 3815 Bisons Outscore Lions, Pirates In Defensive Arts Tournament Local Blue and White Team Returned First C.I.A.A. Boxing, Wrestling Champion; Bouts Good and Decisions Cordially Received; Hart Opponentless The Howard University defensive arts team attained the first championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association in this department by emerging winner of the three-way boxing and wrestling matches at the Howard University gymnasium, Monday night. The Bisons took three of the six final matches in boxing as against two for Hampton and one for Lincoln, their two C.I.A.A. opponents. Both of the finals wrestling bouts went to entries from the Hilltop institution. TWELVE Clerk Girls Play Junior Girls practice games were played, Thursday in the girls' gymnasium. The juniors, in a basketball contest with the sophomores, were defeated by a score of 10-16. Miss Etta L. Williamson is the sponsor.

Launching into a program that was enthusiastically received by approximately 500 spectators, Darwin E. Smith, staff servant at Howard University, defeated Coleridge Gill, 7-5, with the foils. The fencing duel was referred by John H. Burr, and served as an introduction of the sport to colored collegiate followers. Johnson Mat Star Rufus (Tarzan) Johnson, Blue and White football captain, played an important role in Howard's acquisition of the title. Johnson scored impressive wins over A. E. Weatherford, of Hampton, in the semi-finals and then returned to take the deciding fall from J. D. Duvall, of Lincoln, in the finals. The other wrestling decision went to Alexander (Hike) Gordon, Howard, over the hefty 229-pounder, F. R. Veney, of Lincoln. In the featherweight semi-finals, Basil Messer, of Hampton, led all the way to score a handy decision over Jimnie Kendrick, Howard contender. Bob Hamilton made it two straight for the Virginia school by outpointing Lincoln's F. Wattas in the lightweight division. The first local victory was achieved by Chappy Cochrane, popular Howard wettwerth, who took a close decision from N. J. Anderson, of Lincoln. The most brutal bout of the evening found W. Hooker, of Hampton, punishing S. Johnson, rangy Lincolnite, unmercifully in the one-minute and 57 seconds the affair went before Referee Alfred Lind stopped it. Hooker was declared winner by technical knockout. Rallying after dropping the decision in the first round of the light-heavyweight semi-finals, Freeman Murray, of Howard, defeated E Goodrum, Hampton representative with little effort. Little Feilows Mix In a lively setto that put the finals in motion, R. N. Hamilton, bearing the Blue and Orange of Lincoln, scored in a breeze over Bob Stitt, of Hampton. The latter was on the receiving end of a sally of rights and lefts that kept him baffled throughout. His willingness to mix with a far superior little ring-master, however, gained him much approval. Receiving almost as many cheers for his ability to "take it" as his victorious adversary, Joe Anderson, of Lincoln, was outpointed by Basil Messer, of Hampton, in the feathereweight finals. Anderson, swinging wildly at the end, nevertheless, attempted to trade punches with a much better man. The folks liked it and let him know it. One Decision Unpopular In the only decision of the evening that did not receive the whole-hearted approval of the gallery, Leonard Veal, Howard lightweight, was returned the winner over Hamilton, of Hampton. Hoots and boos greeted Announcer Clarence Pendleton when he raised the hand of Veal as the winner. Cochrane fought a heady bolt to take the finals of the welterweight class from John Malloy, of Hampton. The former, realizing his opponent was a light puncher, contented himself with piling up punches as the latter continued to bore in. Time and again his left jab was all Malloy encountered as he rushed Cochrane into the ropes. Hooker Proves Slugger Hooker was easily the better of the two middleweight finalists, Joe Stratton went, well in the first round, but faltered as the hard hitting Hamptonian connected terrific body punches with both hands. Though punished severely in the opening minutes of the light-welterweight finals, Freeman Murray came through as the aggressor in the remaining rounds and was awarded the decision over C. Mitchell, of Lincoln. The latter, failing in his attempt $ \mathrm{t_{0}} $ wear Murray down, became punch-weary himself as the match went into the waning stages. Bish Hart, sensational Howard heavyweight, won the heavyweight championship by default. Summaries: FENCING D. E. Smith, 7 points; C. M. WRESTLING (Semifinal) - Rufus Johnson (Hampton), 165, vs. A. E.

Poet Tankmen Practice Regular practice was begun by the Dunbar High School swimming team Monday. The pool has been a scene of much activity during the week. Rens, Celts to Play Here Conway and Vance Announce Clash for April 17 The unfolding of a huge oiled-paper sign at the Lincoln Colonnade last Friday night caused rounds upon rounds of applause from the large number of spectators gathered for the exhibition game between the famed Renaissance and the Rinaldi Tailor pro basketters. The sign advertised the booking of a Washington game between the Rens and their arch rivals, the Original New York Celtics. The two teams, according to announcements of Euell Conway and Jimmie Vance, promoters, will close their respective seasons with this final game of the annual championship series, on April 17. It will be the completion of the third barn-storming trip of the two national title contenders. The colored aggregation was winner of the title last year by virtue of a 6 to 4 margin in the best five of eleven games series. It was Wee Willie Smith's looper from near midcourt of the Washington Auditorium last year that decided the issue and made the final game in New York, though played, unnecessary. The Renaissance have not fared so well with their rivals during the current season. The opening barn-storming tour resulted disastrously for the Harlem five. On the second one the colored boys were trimmed in the series, but showed a marked improvement over the calibre of play which marked the first engagements. Although the baseball season will have opened, the promoters feel this will not be detrimental to the drawing power of these two teams as the Washington club will be out of town, and as this game might turn up to be the one to decide the battle for supremacy. clision.

Won by D.C.MAN SLATED FOR 'PEACEMAKER' ROLE IN LEAGUE Doug Smith Sought by Both Nashville and Baltimore Sox PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—From all indications, Joe Cambria, of Baltimore must explain several matters to W. Rollo Wilson, the high authority in Negro baseball. After application had been made by him for full membership in the Negro National Association, it was discovered that Dick Seay, Slim Jones, Harry Williams, and several other players had expressed a willingness to sign with different clubs. Upon being informed of this situation, Baltimore's representative suspended final action on his application until claims of the players had been investigated. A meeting was held Saturday night in Baltimore, but what transpired has not as yet been divulged. The report, following at is does rumblings to the effect that several Monumental City players have voiced dissatisfaction with certain features about the Baltimore camping ground somewhat cotroborates the story going the rounds that Washington may get mixed up in the league after all. Sought As Liaison For three weeks the rumor has persisted that Doug Smith, D.C., business man, would handle the Washington affairs for some team that would be brought to the Capital for league baseball. The report at first linked Smith with the Nashville Giants Club, but there had been no confirmation of this up to a late hour this week. Although such a consolidation of forces remains a possibility, the story having the greatest momentum at present finds Smith employed as a "go between" for officials and disgruntled players of the Baltimore Sox. With the alleged differences existing between the Monumental City bosses and their hire, such action has become a probability. It is a foregone conclusion that the Washington billiards parlor proprietor will hold down some strategic position with a league club during the coming campaign. The linking of Smith with some club in the loop will come as no surprise to observant followers of the game. He has been engaged in promotion enterprises for several years and was affiliated with the now defunct Washington Pilots in their heddy. MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE NEWS DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—For four years J. H. N. Waring, Jr., principal of Downingtown, Industrial School and coach of that institution's girls' basketball team, has selected an All-Star Girls' Team. In 1931 and 1932 it was chosen from players in the schools now composing the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association and Coppin Normal of Baltimore. Since 1932, the All-Stars have come only from member schools — Bordentown, Bowie Normal, Delaware State College, Downingtown, Princess Anne Academy, and Storer College. The 1934 selections are as follows: First Team Second Team Latimere (e).....F.....Proctor Downingtown Bordentown Aldermen.....F.....Bell Bordentown Princess Anne Murray.....C.....Giles Delaware Bowie Davis.....G.....Bradley Delaware Downingtown Hawkins.....G.....Basley Bowie Bordentown Alston G.....G.....Gray Storer Bowie Honorable mention—Gibbs, Moody, Bordenttown; Cooper, Floyd, Bowie; Jackson, Fountain, Rhodes, Delaware; Foust, Singletary, Downingtown; Hughes, Princess Anne. This is Latimere's fourth straight year to be honored. She is considered the most outstanding girl player in the M3A. Alderman is another top-notcher who made the second team in 1932 and the first in 1933. Davis is being selected for the second time, while Murray and Bradley got honorable mention last year. Tigers Get Seattle High School Grid Star TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. Cleve L. Abbott, director of athletics and head football coach, was advised today, by letter, that Kye Weyman, one of the most promising Seattle high school half-backs has decided to enter Tuskeege Institute and will leave for the South immediately after graduation. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1934 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune I capped a penny in one of those weighing machines the other night and not only got my poundage printed on a small pasteboard card, but had a brief character reading on the other side. It read "... and above all else you are extremely critical," which I interpreted as simply a nice way of saying "and we regret to inform you that you are a sorehead." Now I laid off writing this article for a long time because I was of the opinion that this column seldom puts in an appearance unless the writer has something to "squawk" about. My readers, I believed, must tire of picking up this page to find that I am up to my fussing again. Well, I would have you know that this is another "squawk," and if you don't feel like taking it for what it is worth, put it down until another day—maybe you'll come back to it. The dropping of that penny awakened me to the realization that after all that may or may not be my nature. If it is I'll have to be satisfied, so here goes what I've wanted to say for a long, long time. I'm sick and tired of the ballyhoo that is put up whenever a leading colorate athlete is given a licking by a white opponent. Every kind of excuse known to the "Association of Alibi Artists" is offered to explain why the loss. My memory of sports events does not go farther back than 1919, when Jack Johnson, then heavyweight champion of the world, was uncrowned by a huge white man named Jess Willard. Although I was still in knee breeches and hardly knew the difference between a prize ring and a wedding band (except that they both had something in common), I could not possibly go through that day and period without being indelibly impressed by the stories that were being circulated about Johnson being frightened into defeat by the menacing presence of a host of pre-Capone gunmen, armed with everything from stench bombs to machine guns. From that day to this your writer cannot remember a single instance in which a Negro champion has gone down to defeat without the usual follow-up story of how he was either suffering a painful injury, had a stomach-ache, or was robbed of the verdict. Invariably it is the latter reason. Whenever a track hero is led to the tape, and the newspapers admit that he was beaten, it is always that he, was headed by a "scant couple of half-inches." On the other hand, colored scribes in reporting a victory for the Ethiopian speed demon, always picture the finish as a "handy win in which the race champion breezed in with a lead of several feet." The loss of a decision in a boxing contest was suffered "in spite of the fact that the Negro pugilist took a major portion of the rounds" (when points are scored by blows and not by rounds) is the way our weekly scribes usually out it. At this point let me insert my admission that I have been guilty of the same thing. Our people seem to like it, therefore it is not left for me to decide whether or not they should be fed with that kind of stuff. Back again to the fight—the Negro scraper has won. "Exhibiting a flashy style that was marked by a terrific left hook and an urgent desire to mix it, Kid Sockum handed Kayo Whoozis, the white hope, the most severe trouncing of his career..... There's the story as the week-end journals issue it out to their reading public. "What a whale of a difference just a few punches make" if I may be permitted to use that part of a national advertising agency's favorite slogan. Elsewhere on these pages will be found a brief account of a victory over Ralph Metcalfe by a young white Canadian runner. A statement which has to do with certain injuries which had forced Metcalfe out of previous meets is deleted from the article. During the early months of 1931, Eddie Tolan, who has never had a more ardent admirer than your humble servant, was defeated by Frank Wykoff in the 100-yard dash. Later that same afternoon he captured the 220-yard event. A few months before Kid Chocolate, hardy little Cuban scraper with a lusty punch and a dazzling shift, was returned the loser in a widely-advertised meeting with Jack (Kid) Berg. In 1930, Young Jack Thompson relinquished his welterweight boxing title to Tommy Freeman. A few years earlier Mike McTigue is said to have administered a fair-sized trouncing on the late Tiger Flowers, then and even now the idol wherever fistic tales are heard and told. Harry Wills, about whom far more was always said than he has ever shown, and George Godrey, admittedly a first-rater when at his peak, were both defeated by white antagonists. Bruce Flowers, New Rochelle lightweight sensation, rose to fame with the sadness of a meteor's drop—then he lost a couple of fights. I could probably write until next week citing similar defeats of colored stars, all of which were followed by stories weighed down with "reasons." But I'm not being paid for that. Now I ask why should this be the case? I'll sign off with this slogan I wish all newspaper men would adopt and follow out to the letter. "Write the thing as it occurs, omit the excuses whether the public likes it or not; forget what you believe was an injustice; be appreciative of the pleasant present; herald the future with optimism and tell the distasteful past to go to hell." Kids and Teachers Alike Thrill At Brown-Young Basket Game Junior High School Group Enjoys Victory in First Try at Competitive Sports; Primary Pupils Satisfied at Closeness of Score in Game Thursday It was a gala day for all at the Young Platoon School last Thursday as the Brown Junior High School and Young met at basketball in the latter's gymnasium. The score of 16-15 which stood as the deciding margin was perhaps the real reason for the pleasure had by everyone involved. --- In the first place Brown beat Young. Brown, composed mostly of lads who had at one time or other attended Young, felt the thrill of trimming old schoolmates. Those who had not gone to Young during their primary days were gratified at having won in their first fling at competitive athletics. In the second place, Young was only beaten by a scant one point. The grammar school kids strutted proudly about with the satisfaction that they had played an older group to such a close shave. They were pleased at having almost beaten a competitor that outstripped them in both size and age. Theirs was a moral victory. And in the third place the teachers of both schools, feeling a responsibility for geniality between the youths of both schools, were glad that the game turned out with such a result. Brown teachers knew it would be beneficial to all concerned to have the older and more experienced boys win, and the Young teachers expressed a satisfaction that no good could have resulted from either an overwhelming Brown victory or a Young victory at any cost. $ S_0 $ all in all, a good time was had by all. # BROWN G F P A.Robson. f 2 0 0 4 Proctor. f 1 0 3 Harley. f 2 0 0 4 Allen. f.... 0 1 1 C.Robson. f 2 0 0 4 Brown. f.... 3 0 0 Mitchell. f 1 0 1 2 Johnson. c.... 2 0 0 Lewis. f.... 0 0 0 Ellis. c.... 0 0 Gant. f.... 0 0 0 R.Mangage. g 1 0 1 Dylan. f.... 0 0 0 R.Mangage. g 0 0 1 J.Hunter. c.... 0 0 0 Diggs. g.... 0 0 0 Brooks. c.... 0 0 0 Smith. g.... 1 0 2 Hamilton. g.... 1 0 2 L.Hunter. g.... 1 0 2 D.Parrish. g.... 4 0 0 Westray. g.... 0 0 0 Young. g.... 0 0 0 # YOUNG G F P Totals. 8 10 8 Totals. 7 11 13 Referee...

BATTLE PROMISED AS ALPHA MEETS N.Y.KAPPA 5 Local Quint Anxious for Win Over Metropolitan Fraternity Team What promises to be one of the most hotly-contested fraternity games in the annals of brotherhood baseball in the nation's capital will get under way Saturday afternoon when the ball is tossed between Lanky Jones and Marle Work, two of the most outstanding fraternal pivotmen in the game. The jump will be the tapoff of the fireworks slated to take place in the New York Kappa Washington Alpha court contest. Frankie Davis, manager of the local chapter has announced that the Alpha Phi Alpha outfit will "shoot the works" with its full strength. No stone has been left unturned in the endeavor to have the entire Alpha squad on hand which gives evidence that the New Yorkers are not being held lightly. Advance reports list the Kappa Alpha Psi team as a winner over that only recently played the Capit the crack New York Sigma quintal Cityans to a standstill before being rosed out in the final minutes by the margir of a single point. That the winner of this contest stands in a good way to be on the receiving end of an invitation from one of the championship mid-west fraternity outfits for a titular series lends more color to the affair. Both the Kappa and Alpha management feel their players would enjoy such a setto. Rufus Hackett, star of the Morgan College basketball machine, and Pinky Clarke and Cutie Brown, two former luminaries on the same Monumental City institution's floor teams have been added to the already strong local ensemble of Jones, Ted Thompson, Clarence Smith, Joe Sewell, Frank Steele, Mickey Syphax Lois Williams, Archie Johnson and a host of others. MU-SO-LIT CLUB TO SPONSOR RETURN BOXING SHOW Inter-city Bouts Arranged By Local Club Following First Venture Following the first and highly successful boxing and wrestling exhibitions which were sponsored by the Mu-So-Lit Club last February, a second and even more pretentious exhibition will be held jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and the Mu-So-Lit Club Easter Monday night at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. A series of inter-city bouts between the ring teams of the Baltimore Y.M.C.A. and the local branch of the Washington Y have been arranged for that night, and local boxing and wrestling fans are in for a real treat, and some high class competition. In a previous match held in Baltimore these two teams came off all square. This time each team is equally determined to be returned the winner, and the event promises to be a miniature Golden Gloves affair. Coach Green, of the Washington Y, is counting heavily on his ace in the hole, Cyclone Sammy Williams, who delighted the fans at the last Mu-So-Lit show with his aggressiveness and hard punching. This time Sammy will have more competition, however. Other members of the Y team are: William Green, 129 pounds; Robert Wimbush, 135 pounds; Washington Alexander, Jr., 163 pounds; Charles Gillis, 124 pounds; John Perry, 145 pounds; William Ellis, 166 pounds; Arthur Powers, 167 pounds; James Arthur Manuel, 117 pounds; Kid Chris, 142 pounds. Ten Wins and Two Losses Force's Court Record WILBERFORCE, Ohio—(Special)—The Big Green's hardwood team has won 10 out of 12 games against college opponents for the season to date. The two losses chalked against the Richie clan are to be found in the won column of the West Virginia State basketball outfit. The Force victims are as follows: West Virginia State, once; Louisville College, twice; Kentucky State, twice; Missouri Lincoln, twice(all conference games); Cedarville, once, and Alabama State, once. An ordinary safety razor costs $300 in Russia. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Dunbar and Armstrong Finish Preparations for Tourney Dunbar and Armstrong Finish Preparations for Tourney Local Scholastic Teams Plan Gary Trip; Dunbar's Participation Not Definitely Assured As Week Began; Tech Sports New Plays Dunbar Out of National Cage Tourney Inability to raise sufficient funds to justify an attempt to send the basketball team to the National, Scholastic Tournament, being held in Gary, ind. tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, caused the Dunbar High School Athletic Committee to abandon plans to enter the Crimson and Black dive in the contests, according to a statement from P. L. Jacobs, coach of the team, yesterday (Wednesday) morning. Walter L. Smith, principal of the school, however, told the Tribune that no such hope had been entertained by school officials since first the subject was brought to his attention several weeks ago. At that time, he declared, he felt the venture would be too expensive. Mr. Smith stated that he called in his physical education heads upon reading articles which said Dunbar would participate in the tournament. These teachers denied having given out such information. The Dunbar principal declared that he regretted the incident for two reasons. First, he said it placed the papers which published it in an embarrassing position trying to explain the misstatements. And second, the boys who had anticipated making the trip faced disappointment. Meanwhile the other school, Armstrong, dispatched its contingent of 10 players and coach, by bus which left at 1 p.m. yesterday afternoon (Wednesday). Bulls Captors Of Y Series Final Contest Goes to Puffy Martin's Team, 35-26 Led by Herbie Tobias, who scored nine field goals and a foul for a total of 19 points, Puffy Martin's Bulls won the Bull-Bear series for the championship of the Young Men's Division of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Monday night. The final score was 35-26. The winners led from the opening whistle to the final, the quarter scores being 9-3, 15-10, 25-17, and 35-26. At no time did the team captained and coached by Pee Wee Gross threaten the victors. Gross himself led the scoring efforts of the losers, counting five floor goals and a free-throw for 11 points. The victory gave the Martimen the title after an up-hill fight. The Bears had captured the initial game of the series by the scant margin of 22-21 to put the Bulls one down. The latter, however, came from behind in the last quarter of the second seto and walked off with an impressive 27-24 decision. The deciding game went to the Bulls in handy style. **BULLS** **BEARS** G F P G F P Childs, f... 2 1 5 Hamilton, f... 0 0 Perry, f... 1 0 2 Gross, f... 5 1 11 Scott, f... 2 3 7 Taylor, f... 1 2 4 Tobias, f... 9 1 19 Coleman, g... 2 0 4 Foster, g... 0 0 0 Best, g... 3 1 7 Martin, g... 1 0 2 Totals... 15 5 35 Totals... 11 4 26 Referee Joe Ware, Timer Covington.

New A.A.U. 50-Yard Mark Set by Jesse Owens CLEVELAND, Ohio—Jesse Owens, colored sprint star of Ohio State University, set a new Amateur Athletic Union record in the finals of the 50-yard dash at the annual indoor intercollegiate track meet, here last Saturday night. His time of 5.2 seconds established a new mark for the A.A.U. lists, and came within one-tenth of a second of tying the world mark for the distance. The master secret in fighting is to strike once, but in the right place. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(ANP) According to a decree by W. Rollo Wilson, Negro baseball's first "Judge Landis," Player A. D. Creacy, was awarded to the Philadelphia Stars. This ended the dispute over the player between the Stars and Cleveland. Armstrong Finish is for Tourney Plan Gary Trip; Dunbar's Definitely Assured As Tech Sports New Plays Two of the three local high school basketball teams closed a campaign of strenuous drills, on Tuesday, as the time for departure for the National Scholastic Basketball Tournament at Gary, Indiana, drew near. The uncertainty of participation in the tourney by the Dunbar High School team by no means hampered preparatory measures by the Crimson and Black coaching staff. Armstrong, on the other hand, has known for sometime that it would compete. Several projects have been undertaken by the Poet school in an effort to earn enough money to take care of the expenses. Among these ventures was the series of games with the Apex A.C., Atlantic City, N.J., independent team. Other means were resorted to as the Dunbar outfit sought to clear its expense account, but as the week opened the actual participation of the second Washington entry was still problematical. The Tech faculty, on the other hand, lent a hand to their youths. A comedy skit, "Come Out of the Kitchen," was staged by teachers of the school toward the end of making enough to finance the team's trip to Gary. Principal G. David Houston, anticipating the success of this venture, secured permission from Garnet C. Wilkinson, three weeks ago, to enter the Orange and Blue warriors. A series of post-season contests with strong teams constituted the seasoning of the First Streeters, Coach P. L. Jacobs being content with the mere polishing off of some of his team's rough spots. E. P. Westmoreland, on the other hand, took his Armstrong wards through a brand new training grind, similar to that through which they were taken before the season began. The General mentor declared that he believed it necessary to condition his squad all over again as the lapse gone through by his lads and prescribed by him to offset "stalenness" had taken them from the top of shape. A series of new "spot plays" has been given the 10 men slated to bear the colors of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference champions in the tourney beginning tomorrow (Friday) in the Indiana city. White Sigma Team Humbled by Revived Arrows Quickly adjusting themselves to the greatly reduced playing surface of the Lincoln Colonnade, a newly organized Arrow quintet completely humbled a Sigma Kappa Alpha (white) fraternity basketball team in the preliminary to the Renaissance-Rinaldi clash last Friday night. The final score was 32-13. The combination of seven veterans of the court, Soup Turner, Pee Woe Covington, Jelly Jackson, Herbie Tobias, Nute Jackson, Joe Sewell and Mike Jackson, zippassed and dribbed through their Jewish opponents with sparkling consistency. Nothing the lads from down town had to offer could compete with the sensational passing game as put up by the colored outfit. # ARROWS G F P G F P Covington, f. 3 0 0 1 T.Jackson, f. 3 0 0 1 N.Jackson, f. 2 0 0 4 Tobias, c. 3 0 0 4 Sewell, g. 3 0 0 4 Turner, g. 2 0 0 4 M.Jackson, g. 2 0 0 # SIGMAS G F P 6.

But alas, they do not know, and so, many a fig gries on the bush and tomatoes rot on the vine while women might benefit by them, go on living sad, sick and unbeautiful and lonely. All woman who have a bit of extra ground about their door should plant these beauty bringers, figs and tomatoes. SNOW BEAUTY We have had so much snow this winter and yet many a woman has not taken advantage of this blessing and made use of it. In the land of the Vikings, the women step outside on their balconies in the early morning and rub their faces, throats and arms with the newly fallen snow. The temperature is just right and the even coldness acts as a perfect tonic for the skin. Makes it hard and firm and tightly pored. When next the snow falls use it plentifully. It is good for the whole body as a tonic. Vital Statistics Joseph Jackson, 65, Freedman's Hosp. Jennie Parker, 60, 16.5% 12th St. N.W. Alice Mathtews, 53, 127 L St. S.E. Hozzakian L.

Miss Clyde M. Johnson, manager of the Friendly Flower Shop on Ninth Street, near M Street, began as a fiorist's assistant, There she learned the business of handling flowers and. making designs. Miss Johnson came from South Carolina, She says that in her- southern home she took great delight in flower culture and had flower beds with names made by flowers of dif- ferent colors. She is of amartistic temperament and as a young wo- man, the blending and matching of colors was used jn her sewing, Last year when depression was driving many businesses to the wall, Miss Johnson opened her flower shop on a capital of $40. She did the Christmas decora- tion for Howard University and the Miner Teachers’ College grad- uation exercises. She is’ already planning for Easter "and hopes to double her sales of last year, The Easter window decoration at her shop, as she describes it, will be worth a visit to see at Easter time. ‘All love flowers.

His real name is Lincoln Perry; and he was born in Key West, Florida. Tt was at a Texas race track, while still a youth, that he first heard the wiame which he later adopted as his own, In a recent interview he told the story thus: “In those days I used to hang around the tracks; was everything from stable boy to tout. It was at a Texas race track where I saw ‘Step and Fetch It,’ the racer. I had lost on every race and didn’t have a dollar in my pocket, -but I did have on some classy togs and a stud that sparkled like ‘nobody's business.’ Before the next race came on a friend who was with me wanted to bet me that Lawn Mar- tin would win the race. Lawn Martin had never been beaten on that track, but as I looked over the list I saw the name ‘Step and Feten It It struck me, Names do some- how. ‘Here’s a harse that can beat Lawn Martin,’ I told my friend. “Even money says he can’t’ my friend came back. “I'm broke, but I'l, bet you my clothes and my pin. How much will. you bet 2° “My friend knew that the spark- ler Was genuine, so he ‘said, ‘One hundred and fifty.’ ““You're on.’ And so was the race. A Race Horse Start “Well, Step and Fetch It stepped home ahead in front of Lawn Mar- tin, thereby saving my wardrobe and pin and netting me some cash. “Twas a dancer and singer, and after that I teamed with a fellow. We took the name of the horse. He was called ‘Step’ and I was called ‘Fetch It.’ Our act was rood but we split up and I was billed with a minstrel show as ‘Rastus, the Buck Dancer.’ But I didn’t’ like that name, so I calléd myself ‘Jolly Pard,? then later ‘Skeeter Jerry.’ “Then hard, times came to ‘Skeeter Perry.’ He was put in jail and it seemed that his rcsi- dence there was to be permanent. . Stepin’ Goes Straight . “E ain't ashamed to tell you that I really prayed,” he confessed. “I told the Lord if He'd just let me ‘cut I'd go straight if I starved.” ‘Stepin’s hands once had a way of “stickin'” to things. [Wall iia prayer was anawered. “T've seen some pretty. tough days since then, but I never forgot "my promise. At times I made a: low as fifteen dollars per week, but T always stayed straight.

Strad- ford, Chicago, former president of the National Bar Association, des- cribed to students in the Howard University Law School Sunday the long fight made by Pullman port- ers to establish an organization not dominated by the Pullman company. Before the war, according to Mr, Stradford, the porters, by appeals to the Pullman company, had been granted two $3.50 raises until their wages reached $30 a month. Aftor the government took charge, the wage shot up to $47.50, Opposed by Newspaper Describing the strugeles of the Brotherhood, Mx, Stradiord point- ed out that it had been opposea for a long time by one of the most important Negro papers (the Chi- cago Defender) and that it had been forced to take retaliatory measures. A boycott, encouraged by the Brothechood, Mr, Stradford said, foreed that paper to change its ‘attitude and lend. encourage- ment to the Union, He pointed out that the Pullman company had sourht to defeat the porters’ efforts by establishing a company union, the members and leaders of which would be porters. Such a union, Mr. Stradford em: phasized, is useless because if the leaders make demands, they lose their jobs.

SUB-COMMITTEE HEARS PLEA FOR NEW FIRE HOUSE Southwest Civic Group Asks for New Equipment and House for No.4 In a plea before the House Sub-commitee on Appropriations last Friday, Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of a delegation representing the Southwest Civic Association urged the Sub-Committee indorse an item in the Fire Department estimates in the 1935 District Appropriation Bill amounting to $30,000 for the purchase of three new hose wagons and one new fire engine. Dr. Johnson pointed out to the committee that No. 4 Engine Company is located five blocks south of Pennsylvania Avenue in the vicinity of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the White House and the United States Capitol and is the most inadequately equipped among the 30 engine companies of the Fire Department. Had Slowest Wagons Dr. Johnson pointed out that No. 4 and No. 13, engine companies, both located in Southwest, had the "two admitted slowest hose wagons in the Fire Department," and that the No. 4 engine was one year older than any of the 30 other engh confagration area, and that these three pieces of apparatus were the most logical to be replaced. He also pointed out that the Southwest section constituted a high confagration area, and that "within the area are innumerable lumber yards, wholesale commission business, the municipal fish and oyster wharf, the wholesale and retail farmer's market, numerous-coal) yards, 16 school buildings, numerous churches, the oil tanks of the Standard Oil Company, and hundreds of alley dwellings and other aged dwellings erected in the 19th Century. Asks New House He cited figures to show that No. 4 had consistently ranked among the first 13 of 30 engine companies in numbers of responses to fire alarms for the past years, and pointer out that in 1933 No. 4 responded to from 72 to 249 more fire alarms than any one of the engine companies located in following suburban sections: Conduit Road, Brightwood, Connecticut Avenue area, Anacostia, Twining City, Tennelytown, Congress Heights, Langdon, Deanwood, and Brookland. The delegation also urged the Sub-Committee to provide funds for a new fire house for No. 4, which is the fourth oldest and most inconveniently located of the 44 firehouses. Rhines Present Other members of the Southwest delegation in addition to Dr. Johnson, were Dr. C. W. Wade and John T. Rhines, president of the Southwest Civic Association. Members of the House Sub-Committee on Appropriations present were: Clarence Cannon (Missouri), chairman; Thomas L. Blanton (Texas); Bernhard M. Jacobsen (Iowa); J. William Ditter (Pennsylvania); and D. Lane Powers (New Jersey). Commissioner George E. Allen of the District Board of Commissioners was also present. The Southwest delegation was the only colored delegation to appear in the hearings among a score of civic and trade organizations. Federation President Addresses Civic Group George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations, was the principal speaker at Capital View Civic Association meeting last Monday. Mr. Beasley praised the association for its fight for better improvements in its section. The association will send a letter to the District Commissioner protesting "unjust discrimination on the part of L. C. Wormington, head of the District Repair Shops in his failure to recognize and employ Negro mechanic" and protesting against the insulting remarks Wormington is alleged to have used to a delegation from the National Builders' Association which called on him.

MARCH 29. 1934 Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES "The greatest obstacle to progress is prejudice." The writer of this column, who is a Federal employee, owes an apology to a goodly portion of his readers, who are Federal employees. Some time ago, I wrote a column giving my reaction to Washingtonians of color as a whole in which I depicted them as being strivers, chiselers, procrastinators and the like. The ten persons who read this column regularly were asked their opinion of the merit of the article. Four said that it was a masterpiece and that I had voiced their opinions. Four said that it was "lousy" and in direct opposition to their ideas on the subject. Two were noncommittal. I finally secured the reluctant opinions yesterday, of these two the gist of which were that I was prejudiced when I wrote the article in the first place, that the examples cited were not altogether true in the second place, and that my acquaintance with "real" Washingtonians had been too superficial to make such a sweeping generality in the third place. Subsequent developments (since the article was written) have given these two a perfect average on all three counts. Hence the apology. I also mentioned in that article that there is as much prejudice based upon skin pigmentation and questionable family trees among our own group as is imposed upon us by any other. I have no apology to offer for this statement. Harold Eaton, a contemporary columnist, who is one of my best friends and severest critics, wrote me an open letter not long since asking me what I would suggest as a remedy for this situation. I had written an article answering Harold predicated on the assumption that the burden of proof lay upon the mulatto privileged class of our group. Certain happenings in the Executive Council of the New Negro Alliance, of which I am not at liberty to disclose and an analysis of the central thought in a book written by Frank Harris entitled "England or Germany?" in which certain (to me irrefutable) facts are brought out, prompted me to write my answer from another angle. The fact has finally dawned upon me that some persons are naturally more intelligent than others and that men are apt to hate their superiors just as they like their inferiors; in proportion as a man rises above the ordinary he is sure to be disliked. Wrote Frank Harris: "This is the lesson of all genius: Socrates was hated in Athens not because he unamiable, not because he 'corrupted the youth,' as his indictment phrased it; but because he was more reasonable, wiser, braver and more pious than other men. We mortals crown our greatest with thorns." There is, you know, an inclination in me to take the weaker side, the side of those who have the odds against them. In self-justification I say that those who would stand upright must lean against the prevalent wind in proportion to its strength. Of course, one may lean too far and lose balance; if I have done that, it is involuntary and I shall have to pay for the folly. The burden of proof, then, lies equally heavy upon the talented tenth of our group as it does upon the trustworthy tenth and the average eighty per cent. I beg to repeat, at this juncture, the tonic sentence of this article: "The greatest obstacle to progress is prejudice." This introduces a ticklish subject. I think we should fight segregation in all forms. Not only in public places, Federal departments and the like, but also segregated schools. There is nothing I could write on this subject which has not been very ably written already. George Schuyler, featured columnist, my good friend and counsellor, treats the matter at some length in his column, "Views and Reviews." Because I think a solution to caste within the group can best be had by abolishing those things which make caste desirable (there are such things you know), I quote Mr. Schuyler: "Certain apologists for segregation have sought to disarm militant opponents of the evil by arguing that we should not be ashamed to associate with ourselves." Of course this argument is dishonest and ridiculous, since no Negroes have been advocating the contrary. However, it is effective, in that it places the anti-segregationists on the defensive. They do not, as Negroes, want it said that they are only fighting segregation because they itch to associate with white people. "This 'argument' never disturbs me. I go further and brave the wrath of the professional Negrophiles and race chauvinists by saying that NEGROES SHOULD ALWAYS SEEK THE ASSOCIATION AND FRIENDSHIP OF WHITE AMERICANS of corresponding education, culture and economic status as equals. This is most easily accomplished where white and colored children have gone to school together and sat in the same class rooms. Negroes should seek to integrate themselves into American society at every opportunity, and stop isolating themselves. All the Afraamerican has, and has gained that is worth while, has come to him with association with white fellow Americans." That, Mr. Eaton, is my answer.

Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, succeeded, on last Friday, in securing 145 signatures to a petition assuring a vote in the House of Representatives on the question of Negro exclusion from the House restaurant. Federal employees are noting with interest the fact that voting on this issue is scheduled for Monday, April 9. If the resolution is acted favorably upon, and I are sure that it will be, in both Houses, Federal employees of color will have a precedent for making a concerted drive to abolish the jim-crow welfare public lunch rooms in the various departments. This column will gladly sponsor such a movement. The United States Civil Service Commission issued a warning, Saturday, to those seeking Civil Service positions to learn the possibilities of getting an appointment in a certain class and how soon the examination will be held before signing a contract for instruction in a coaching school. It declared that there is reason to believe that agents of some schools encourage clients to sign for training for examinations not likely to be held for a long time. First Government units will move into the new Post Office Department Building this week-end and the Reclamation Service of the Department of the Interior is going to beat the Post Office Department into its own new home. Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, in charge of housing Government departments, announced assignments of space in the monumental building at Twelfth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Two Interior Department bureaus, four independent offices and the Postoffice Department were assigned quarters. Matthew (Civil Service) Halloran, 69, of Hyattsville, recently observed the fifty-first anniversary of his employment by the Civil Service Commission. The only original employee of the commission still in service (active), Halloran found time to write a book, "The Romance of the Merit System," explaining the work in which he is engaged. A number of inquiries have reached my desk in connection with the correct procedure to follow in having your correct age given to the Civil Service authorities when a mistake has been made. One or two years often affects your retirement pay. I can off-hand think of five ways of having this information recorded, but I am sure that those are six. I shall contact Mr. Moyer, the chief examiner, and publish the detailed answers next week. I have also received correspondence in connection with certain irregular conditions at the District Jail and Gallinger Municipal Hospital. Mr. Babcock, the president of the American Federation of Federal Employees, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, is working on those projects now. I will give a report in these columns next week. Fulton Lewis, who writes "Washington Side Show" in the Philadelphia Daily News, has this to say of Charles A. Reeder, of the State Department: "Charles A. Reeder, who has been in government service for 37 years, knows the secret of success for 'career men.' He says: "Always sit on the fence, don't be a Democrat and don't be a Republican." "Charlie began his career with Uncle Sam as coachman for President William McKinley. He kept that job for seven years under President Theodore Roosevelt. Then President William Howard Taft took office and brought three automobiles to the House to replace the carriages. "Charlie tried being an automobile footman for about a year and then he asked Taft to transfer him to the State Department. He's been there ever since, always working for secretaries and undersecretaries. He's especially attached to Undersecretary William Phillips, who, he says, was a great favorite with Theodore Roosevelt. "When Phillips is called to the White House from the State Department he is accustomed to run across the street without an overcoat on. If it starts raining before he gets back, Charlie takes him a coat, an umbrella and a pair of rubbers, the latter wrapped up in a piece of newspaper."

THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1934 Our Plea and Answer The following editorial, which a appeared in a local weekly news bullet last week, strikes the Tribune as being timely, well handled and worthy of the highest amount of commendation: The following editorial, which appeared in a local weekly news bulletin last week, strikes the Tribune as being timely, well handled and worthy of the highest amount of commendation: THE NEGRO PRESS Have the big Negro weekly papers lost their vim and virility? During the past week two thousand word treatises of a fracas in a dance ball (Lincoln Colonnade) failed to mention the names of the participants, although readily available. The articles did say the principals were from prominent families. Had they been poor, unknown chaps from very ordinary families their names would no doubt have emblazoned the front page. Any news ought to be better than no news, from a writer's viewpoint, but any news that fails to name the principals in a brawl is no news at all. This paper, for nearly 15 years, medium of, by and for Negroes and particularly Negroes of, the Nation's Capital, pleads guilty to the first count. The names were omitted from the Tribune history of the affair in question in an acknowledged by the reportorial heads of this paper. It is also admitted that these names were "easily available." But the Tribune emphatically denies any inference that it would have made "hash" of a similar incident that boarded of "lesser lights" as principals. The policy of the Tribune has always been to refuse publication of names of minors, or names of persons involved in any sort of entanglement where no arrests or court records were made; the names of institutions that might be embarrassed by connections with individuals mixed up in so-called "scandal." There never has been, there is no now and there never will be any CLAS DISTINCTION in the treatment news by the Tribune. Our social, sport and church pages are only some of the many testaments in support of such statement.

Dr. Charles Edward Russell, well known author, raises an interesting question in a recent article in which he asks what shade of brown makes of a citizen. He gives the following reason for asking the question: "On Tuesday, March 13, at 12:30 p.m., M. Russell, Harlan Glazier, a colored friend, a I entered the public restaurant of the Hotel in the Capitol and were served with lunches no objection being made from any source. "Twenty-four hours later, Mrs. Russell, M. Glazier, Robert Shaustick, and two color Dr. Charles Edward Russell, well known author, raises an interesting question in a recent article in which he asks what shade of brown makes one a citizen. He gives the following reason for asking the question: "On Tuesday, March 13, at 12:30 p.m., Mrs. Russell, Harlan Glazier, a colored friend, and I entered the public restaurant of the House in the Capitol and were served with luncheon, no objection being made from any source. "Twenty-four hours later, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Glazier, Robert Shaustick and two colored friends entered the same restaurant and were not only refused service but requested to leave the premises. "Th two colored friends in the party of Wednesday were about two and a half shades darker in tint than the one colored friend in the party of Tuesday. "This suggests an addition to the quaint troglodyte regulations that seem to be responsible for these fantastic mummies. Why not have prepared a large card of tints to be applied to the countenance of each person that enters this public restaurant? The manager might stand in the doorway with the chart in his hand and match colors. "It might seem a childish and ridiculous performance in the Capitol Building of the greatest nation on earth in the fourth decade of the 20th Century of Christian civilization, but not one-twentieth so childish, and shameful as the persistence in official quarters of the shambling and shattered theory of race inferiority." If this system of charts were used any number of so-called nordics including congressmen, who are dark-complexioned would be barred, and thousands of colored persons who are much fairer than the red-skinned Southerners, would be admitted. The manager of the restaurant stated only last week that he is facing a serious problem in his job as there are so many colored persons who are whiter than white ones, that he has no set rules to go by, but merely pick on those he is assured are colored. If he is doubtful he asks whether the diner is a foreigner, if answered in the affirmative, the guest is permitted to go on with his meal.

Compulsory education means naught if truancy is to be tolerated. Flinny excuses of no shoes or clothing—especially when there are agencies ready and willing to meet these demands—should not be taken seriously by attendance officers.

UNION MEMBERSHIP IS EMPTY GESTURE Wherever he is admitted to mixed unions, it is mainly a gesture which opens the door or opportunity to his hopes but slams it in his face when he applies for a job. They do no allow him to work unless he is qualified according to the union test, and will not allow him to qualify under their code. He is thus left outside of the pale. The Negro workman has no chance in the textile industries above the level of a cleaner watchman or janitor. In the transportation industry he is suppressed to the bottom rank of a manual and menial toil. He is ineligible to membership in the several branches of rail road brothehoods. These are but typical of the spirit and purpose of trades unionism. As industry becomes regimented under the N.R.A., if the Wagner Bill, unamended, has its way, the Negro will be left out in the cold.

FORD HAS BEEN FAIR TO MERIT The Negro has perhaps a better chance in the Ford factories than in any other large scale industry. Mr. Ford insists upon hiring his men on the basis of their merit without regard to race, and without outside dictation of the unions. The day the N.R.A. assumes control of the labor side of the Ford factories the Negro will be shown the door. The places which the race now holds in the higher levels of skill in the industries through out the country have been accorded by capital against the persistent protest of organized labor. These unions will not allow the Negro to work in times of peace and strenuously object to them supplanting themselves as strike breakers. But capital has utilized the marginal Negro workers to resist the extravagant demands of the white workmen. It is in this wise that the Negro has gained his foothold and is maintained in his place by capitalistic support.

In every issue between capital and labor, the Negro finds that his bread is buttered on the side of capital. Violent issues are now raging in the N.R.A. especially in the railroad and the automotive fields. The Negro is not directly involved and yet he is hidden in the woodpile. In the meantime every effort should be made to amend the Wagner Bill so as to safeguard the rights of the Negro in the premise. Unless this is done it is easy to foretell the doom of the Negro in American industry.

Cobb is most deplorable In times like these the Negro must-train himself to think in terms of racial advancement unpolluted with the spirit of bitter partisan feeling. In order to protect our civil rights we need Negro Democrats and we need Negro Republicans in order that our interest may be protected in case either major party comes into power. But whether he be Democrat or Republican the Negro under no circumstances should allow this partisan rivalry in which he plays a infinitisimal part to obscure his vision of racial good, through racial unity. It is a universal fact that few lawyers have the ability to make good judges. Judge Cob has proven himself to be an exceptionally good judge. It is a most inspiring sight to sit in his court and note the deference and respect shown him by outstanding leaders of the District of Columbia Bar when they appear before him. These attorneys by the respectful attention they pay to his rulings show in action more eloquent than words their high regard for the judge as a man. Brother Botts, can you not see that by such agitation you are simply creating intra-acacia discord that serves to weaken our effort for group unity? Such discord also weakens to a high degree our influence with the leaders of both major parties.

WOODSON, of Washington, D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History," "The Mis-Education of the Negra," and "The Negro Professional Man." The story of the "Amistad" is almost as romantic as that of the "Creole." Joseph Cinque, the hero of the hour, gave the modern world a new idea of the American's love of freedom. He demonstrated all the elements of leadership and startled the land of slavery. The occasion was that in violation of Spanish laws, a slaver under Portuguese colors landed a cargo of kidnapped Africans near Havana in 1839. A few days after, Ruiz and Montes, Spanish slave dealers, purchasing a number of them, obtained a license to transport fifty-two of them as "legal slaves" from Havana to Principe. Confined to the hold of the slaver, these captives could not appeal to the laws of the land, and therefore appealed to natural law. the north of Liberia. Cinque had been a planter in that land. The he had been captured and sold the trader who transported him to others to Cuba. The Spanish minister to the United States requested the return these captives to Cuba on grounds that they were charged with murder of citizens of the country; and the pro-slavery movement in charge of Van Buren Government in Washington with Kaysy as Secretary of State Felix Grundy as Attorney General were ready to remand them to the enslavers. The Federal Government had finally ordered a vessel to transp these captives to their doom Cuba as soon as they could be taken out of the custody of the co During the month of August, 1839, the people along the Atlantic Coast were very much excited by reports that a vessel of "suspicious and piratical character" had been seen in those waters. This vessel was described as "a long, low, black schooner," and manned by blacks. The United States steamer "Fulton" and several revenue cutters were dispatched to run it down. On the 26th of that month it was reported that while this vessel was sounding between Cardner's and Montauk Points, a schooner was seen lying in shore off Culloden Point, under suspicious circumstances. Seeing a number of people on the beach with carts and horses and a launch passing to and fro, Lieutenant Commander Gedney, in charge of the "Washington," armed and dispatched a boat with an officer to board the strange vessel. On coming along side, they discovered a number of Negroes on the deck and twenty or thirty more were on the beach. $ \mathrm{T w_{0}} $ white men came forward and claimed the protection of the officer. Whites Trick Captives With False Navigation Five nights after the vessel was out, the captives had risen and murdered the captain and three of the crew. They then took possession of the vessel, with the intention of returning to the coast of Africa. Pedro Montes, passenger, and Jose Ruiz, owner of the slaves and a part of the cargo, were saved only to navigate the vessel. "After boxing about for four days in the Bahama Channel, the vessel was steered for the Island of St. Andrews, near New Providence; from thence she went to Green Key, where the blacks laid in a supply of water." The whites, forced to operate the vessel inasmuch as the captives did not understand navigation, steered it to and fro in American waters, while pretending to the self-emancipated Africans that they were directing their course towards Africa. Thus they finally reached the shores of New London. On the discovery of the "Amistad" Lieutenant Gedney took possession of the vessel. He did not know the language of these captives, however, and they could not understand him. 'Joseph Cinque, the leader, having been put on board the 'Washington,' the vessel by which they had been captured, displayed much uneasiness, and seemed so very anxious to get on board the 'Amistad,' that his keepers allowed him to return. "Once more with their leader, the blacks clustered around him, laughing, screaming, and making other extravagant demonstrations of joy. When the noise had subsided, Cinque made an address, which raised their excitement to such a pitch, that the officer in command had him led away by force. Cinque was then returned to the 'Washington' and was manacles to prevent his leaping overboard." Later Cinque "signified by motions, that if they would take him on board the schooner again, he would show them a handkerchief full of doubloons," Spanish gold coins. He was accordingly sent on board. His fetters were taken off, and he once more went below, where he was received by the Africans in a still more wild and enthusiastic manner than he was the day previous. Instead of finding the doubloons, he again made an address to the blacks, by which they were very much excited. Dangerous consequences were apprended; Cinque was seized, taken from the hold, and again fettered. While making his speech, his eye was often turned to the sailors in charge; the blacks yelled, leaped about, and seemed to be animated with the same spirit and determination of their leader. Cinque, when taken back to the "Washington," evinced little or no emotion, but kept his eye steadily fixed on the schooner. Preliminary hearings were given by the Federal courts. The captives were finally imprisoned. It was deemed wise, however, to separate Cinque, the leader, from the rest of his companions over whom he exercised much influence. An investigation showed that the captives were brought from the Guinea Coast, from what they called the Mendi Country lying to the west of Sierra Leone and somewhat to ```markdown ``` the north of Liberia. Cinque had been a planter in that land. There he had been captured and sold to the trader who transported him and others to Cuba. The Spanish minister to the United States requested the return of these captives to Cuba on the grounds that they were charged with murder of citizens of that country; and the pro-slavery element in charge of Van Buren Government in Washington with Forsyth as Secretary of State and Felix Grundy as Attorney General were ready to remand them to their enslavers. The Federal Government had actually ordered a vessel to transport these captives to their doom in Cuba as soon as they could be taken out of the custody of the court. The friends of freedom became busy, however, and worked the matter out to the contrary. C. P. Staples, T. Sedgwick, and R. S. Baldwin appeared for the captives. The pro-slavery interests, thinking that the District Attorney might not be equal to the occasion, employed R. I. Ingersol as special assistant. Africans Charged With Murder The Africans were held for murder. An attachment was also issued from the District Court against the "Amistad" and her cargo in behalf of Ruiz and Montes, and of Lieutenant Gedney for salvage on vessel and cargo. "The District Attorney, in behalf of the government, claimed possession of the vessel; so that the Negroes if they were slaves could be returned to their Spanish owners, and if they were free could be returned to Africa, according to the provisions of the treaty of 1819. "Justice Thompson, of the Circuit Court, decided that the Africans could not be held for trial for murder committed on the seas, on board of a Spanish vessel; but he refused to discharge them, on the ground that they were held in custody by the District Court in consequence of libels and attachments against them. "The court, however, decided that the papers of Ruiz and Montes were fraudulent; that the Negroes were native Africans illegally imported; that they were not slaves; and that they should be sent back to Africa, according to the treaty of 1819. No sooner was the decision made than, by order of the Secretary of State, the District Attorney took an appeal to the Circuit Court. This tribunal, however, affirmed the decision of the lower court. The pro-slavery interests then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. In the meantime the friends of freedom had taken the precaution to employ the best counsel available. The venerable John Quincy Adams made the final argument before that body. "The Supreme Court held that the Africans were kidnapped and unlawfully transported to Cuba; and they were purchased by Ruiz and Montes with a knowledge of the fact; that they were free; that they did not become pirates and robbers in taking possession of the 'Amistad,' and in attempting to regain their native country; that there was nothing in the treaty with Spain that justified the claim for their surrender; and that the United States was bound to respect their rights, as much as those of Spanish subjects. This highest tribunal reversed that part of the decision of the lower courts which directed the Negroes to be delivered to the President, to be transported to Africa, and dismissed them from the custody of the court." Incident Was One of As Henry Wilson has well said, "In all the acts of slavery's grim tragedy there have been few scenes which presented more elements of interest than that of the 'Amistad' captives. With two continents and the wide Atlantic for its theatre; with the robber chiefs of Africa, the slave-pirates of the ocean, the representatives of an European monarchy, and an American republic for actors, seemingly engaged in a common cause and inspired by a common spirit; it presented contrasts and the most unlooked-for and contradictory combinations. It presented barbarism in its rudest and most repulsive aspects, and Christianity in its most attractive and lovely attitude. It began with the midnight hunt for captives in the wilds of Africa; it closed by men and women sending and accompanying these captives back to Africa; to plant churches and schools among their benighted countrymen. Through the whole, however, the one dark and hideous fact stands out that slavery is essentially the same, its adherents substantially alike. A system of violence, impatient of all restraints, whether of reason or of conscience, humanity or religion, the laws of the heart or the laws of the state, it seems mainly intent on compassing its own ends, by whatever means and at whatever hazards. It was the same in Africa and in America; in the barracoon and in the middle passage; under a monarchy or in a republic; in a Pa- SPECIAL FEATURES Lynching Exposed By ROGER DIDIER For the Associated Negro Press POINTS AT ISSUE Proponents of the Costigan-Wagner bill hope to enlist the aid of the federal government to stamp out the lynching evil. If lynching were a crime of which white people were the chief victims, federal aid might easily be obtained in the manner of the Lindbergh kidnapping law. But not so with lynching. In practice whites make the laws and whites are the lynchers. Negroes are the victims of the lynchers. Very few intelligent white people, North or South, uphold lynching as a crime. It is not so necessary to prove that point in support of federal legislation because the opponents of a federal law quickly admit that they can not prove that lynching is not a crime. How then do they oppose enactment of a federal statute, and on what grounds? Southerns who oppose such a law may be disposed of quickly. They argue States's rights. As this argument is so thin and as Southerners who stick to it are not to be won by reason, the defense they set up is not important. Many persons oppose a federal anti-lynching law who would be ashamed to give states' rights as a reason. They are the ones who must be reached and reasoned into support of the bill. What are some of the questions they ask? Is a federal law necessary? Have the states failed? Do they find themselves powerless to combat the evil? These are questions which witnesses assembled by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People answered at the sub-committee hearings. William Preston Lane, Jr., attorney general for the state of Maryland, showed how the state had exhausted every effort in the Armwood lynching and failed. White Southerners from Nashville, Tenn., describe the efforts of the better citizens to bring $t_0$ justice the lynchers of Cordie Cheek and how they failed. Testimony was adduced to show how powerless local courts are to act against lynchers. Grand juries refuse to indict; petit juries, $t_0$ convict. There were some persons who were not sure that the Costigan-Wagner measure would make the right kind of a law, but the witnesses were unanimous in the belief that the lynch evil is beyond the power of the state to control. Their testimony was dispassionate, factual. Foes of lynching, white or black, should inform their Congressmen on this point. Will the penalties prevent lynching? Walter White said they would. South Carolina has a law which imposes a fine upon counties in which lynchings occur. In no county where this fine has been assessed, said Mr. White, has a second lynching occurred. However, West Virginia also has a "fine law," but it has been impossible to collect the fine there. Would the enactment of such a law be good public policy? That is, could the law be restricted to lynching, as it is framed, or would it be made to cover other crimes not contemplated by its makers? Could it be invoked by the federal government in labor disputes to coerce strikers? Witnesses questioned on these points stated that the scope of the law would have to be decided by precedent and interpretation in various cases and insisted that there would be no social jeopardy created by such a law. "Yeh, but what about on in my state, Illinois?" inquired Senator Dieterich. "What about when gangsters take somebody for a ride?" "Chicago is able to pay," he was informed. The senator did not seem to relish the possibility of the county being forced to pay $10,000 to the family of a slain gangster. Example By COLEMAN G. DUCKETT. Two robins made their nest above My upper window ledge today, And so much talk of trust and love I watched to hear what they should say. I listened quietly for awhile. And heard them speaking, that I'll swear. No matter how the cynics smile, No matter how the sceptics sneer. "You'd better scout," said Mrs. Bird; "My dear," said he, "I will, I must. The time does pass, upon my word And nestlings soon will come, I trust." Then off he flew upon the need All day he brought the straw and seed. She stitched with care and watched him come. What language did they speak, you ask? Such questions make me very weary.

Catholic, or Protestant country." DOES AN EDUCATION MAKE A GENTLEMAN? A letter came to me last week from Mr. E. L. S. He seemed to be pretty worked up over the fight that took place among the "higher-ups" at a dance hall week before last. He writes: Dear Mr. Eaton: After reading last week's Tribune I am greatly surprised that the dance given by the Omega Phi Fraternity had to end so disgracefully. To my mind it is very sad to see people who have had years of training in an educational way but have not learned the art of self control and how to act like ladies and gentlemen in public. Since people of high standing and education act in this manner what should be expected of those who have less training? Now and then so-called society suffers a little exposure. This exclusive group of social crazed humans like all other humans get a little tempermental sometimes. They are, nevertheless, considered the very cream of civilization. I presume it is because of their advanced manners, etc. But it is no proof that cream does not spoil at times and give forth a most unpleasant odor. I didn't attend this particular dance but judging from the reports that have come to me I think I know what caused the fight and why it involved so many of the socializers. Lawrence J. W. Hayes, Federal News Notes. Columnist, brought a very good point up in his column last December. He pointed out that Washingtonians were segregating or rather had segregated themselves and had formed cliques. This, Mr. Hayes stated, was most noticeable in the social ring. I paid special attention to this assertion and I found the columnist to be somewhat right. Cliques promote jealousy. One set, made up of members of a certain shade of skin, becomes jealous of another set because of its more popular members. A dance is given and a girl is to be chosen as the most beautiful or the most popular. All the cliques are anxious for a girl of their group to get that honor. When things do not go to suit the many likes of the members, an argument plus a good shot of repeal—well presto! A fight begins. I agree with Mr. E. L. S. It is very sad to see our well prepared men and women behave as if they were reared in a barn instead of a home. Although an education is a great aid to a man to live and enjoy life; it does not make him a gentleman. The gentlemanlike and ladylike lessons are to be found only around the fireside at home. The mother and father alone can shape the manners of a child. The school only tends to make him a bigger fool—if he is already a fool. Prisons and Prisoners By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL In last week's issue of the Baltimore Afro-American there appeared a news story which stated that Davis Lee had been paroled from the state prison at Baltimore along with several others. On several occasions in this column, and elsewhere, I have commented, without using his name, about a prisoner in an Eastern prison who used his spare time in studying law, English, commercial courses, short story writing, etc., through correspondence while in prison. Some years ago he launched out as a story writer and later as a columnist. At one time or another he has written stories, essays or columns that have appeared in most of our magazines and a great many of our publications. In addition he has written special articles and stories that have appeared in some of the white magazines. For several years I have been in communication with Davis Lee, but I never mentioned his whereabouts as only four or five people in the newspaper field knew his circumstances and he was having a kick out of keeping them in the dark and didn't want any publicity until after he had gained his freedom. Now that the matter of his parole has become public knowledge I am mentioning his accomplishments because they stand out as a shining example of what a prisoner can do if he will but make up his mind to forget his handicaps and dig in and go to it. In Lee's instance he was able to keep his identity or rather his real whereabouts a 'secret for the fact that he used two mail addresses, and practically all of his business communications were mailed to his cousin in Baltimore, who also acted as his manager. Even his letters from the prison were so written and addressed that unless one knew that the particular address given was the home of a prison no one would even have suspected it. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Holy Week Brings Lull In Social Activities There was a decided bull in social activities during the past week due to its being Holy Week. The general run of activities, both public and private, were curtailed with a view toward a real awakening next week with the coming of the Easter holidays. At exactly one minute past twelve, Sunday evening, the Kappas' dawn dance will begin. If you have not received your invite you had better get busy, for as predicted they have planned that this year's offering will far surpass all previous years' entertainment. To make good their promises the Greystone Ballroom Orchestra from Cincinnati, Ohio, has been procured for the occasion. This is surprise number one. Surprises two, three and four will come when you put in your appearance at the Masonic Temple. Can't tell you any more. See you there. Added to the other good things scheduled for the first two or three weeks in April is the formal of the Chi Delta Mu, April 13, at the Masonic Temple. Is it to be swanky? Just you wait; next week will tell the tale. Watch this column. I suppose you're saying that the "Bal Vogue" given by the N.N.A. is going on the same evening. What it is it? Don your beautiful spring gowns, be a fashion plate yourself, trip over to the Colonnade and give the N.N.A. workers a smile and your presence and you can still be in time to enjoy the Chi dance. In fact, many people are planning just such a program. 'Tis frequently done when dates conflict. Don't make excuses.

SOCIETV AT A GLANCE What .n enthusiastic bunch of sport lovers crowded the gymnasium at Howard University when the defensive arts tournament was held on last Monday evening. Lincolnites, Howardites and Hamptonites vied for honors in a fast, rollicking melee of wrestling, boxing and fencing matches. Dr. J. E. Trigg, Joseph Walker and E. B. Henderson, of Columbia University, acted as judges. Likewise, another zealous crowd witnessed the basketball game on Friday evening at the Lincoln Colonnade when the professional Renaissance team met the Rinaldi (white) team of this city. The Rinaldi team, though outclassed, fought the game out until the last, hoping beyond hope for a turn of the tide. Many thrills were given the spectators, however, despite the unevenly-matched teams. The Pals of Pleasure have made final arrangements for their Easter formal, Thursday, April 6, at which time the club and their affiliated members will entertain their many friends. Former affiliated patronesses and patrons may obtain invitations from any member of the club, or from the business manager, Joseph Walker, 1934 Eighth Street, Northwest.

Why, when the excavators begin to dig among those Arabian ruins they will probably unearth enough beauty secrets to make "gold diggers" and "man catchers" of millions. It is said that when the beauteous queen came away from Solomon's court she had so many gifts of "jewels, perfumes, oils, and myrrh" that it took six thousand wagons to transport them to her kingdom. She could even have taken Solomon himself away from his 700 or more wives had she so desired. What a woman! And what women the rest will be if they ever get hold of Sheba's beauty secrets! Now, aren't you sorry you are not connected with the Bahai Movement? The members and friends of that organization were delightfully entertained at the residence of Ali Kutah Khan, former Persian Minister to the United States, on Massachusetts Avenue. And, oh, the rugs you can only read about; the tapestries, figures of art, etc. Was I present? You would bring that up. And the way I've tried to forget that they missed me, too. The time was Saturday, 5 to 7. The place was 1607 S Street, Northwest, home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Milton. Cold it was outside, and snowy; on the inside, naught but warm hospitality. The cessation was a reception for Mrs. John Hope, of Atlanta, who is visiting her son, Mr. E. S. Hope, of Howard University, and his bride. Palms and ferns lent a stately elegance to the place and tender yellow jonquils (sweet harbingers of spring) nestled snugly here and there. Receiving you in the hall and showing you where to go to remove wraps and (yes, your galoshes), if you wanted so to do, were Mrs. Ora Spivey and Mrs. Sidney Sumby (the former Alta Milton). In the parlor with its rich, dark furnishings and the bright red embers glowing on the hearth were Mrs. Milton, the hostess charming in a black lace dress, her sister, Mrs. Janet Baltimore, and the hostess's lovely daughter, sweet-voiced Muriel Milton. Beaming with pleasure and resplendent in a rich lace dress made lovelier with pale pink roses, Mrs. Hope, the guest of honor, seemed charmed with everyone about her. Standing with Mrs. Hope was her daughter-in-law, Mrs. E. S. Hope, attractively gowned in brown. Sharing honors also with the visiting lady was Mrs. Oscar DePriest, becoming dressed in black with a single sparkling clip on one shoulder and lovely white gardenias adorning her velvet gown. With the Congressman from Illinois being the "man of the hour" and everything, one might wonder exactly how Mrs. DePriest keeps her head from "swelling" even so slightly. But when you remember the kind of a lady she is it's easy to see how she always remains just a dear, delightful somebody. On your way out, slim, smiling Mrs. Lucille Banks, of Kenyon Street, bade you partake of a dainty repast. What a host of interesting women! You stopped a minute or so to chat with Mrs. Joseph Douglass, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Lankford, and her daughter; Mrs. Augustus Gray, Mrs. Richard Moore, of S Street, and Mrs. G. O. Bullock and her two daughters looking like three lovely sisters. There was Mrs. Leland Simmons rushing right in and out again so as not to be late fr Mrs. A. P. Edmonston's card game just across the street. There was Mrs. Bannister, of New Orleans; Mrs. S. H. Nose, of V Street, and Mrs. Marshall, lovely mother of Dr. Herbert Marshall and the dancing Adrienne.

Be that as it may, everything and everybody seem delighted because Easter Tide is here. And I am whispering the hope that— Miss Ann Goodwin, new Comunity Center secretary, will let Washingtonians hear a lot of her lovely singing; There will always be a derby-wearing season for the sake of Mr. Charles Travis, of 935 S Street. Surely the Prince of Wales can do no more to a derby than the dapper Mr. Travis.

But with a smart young chap like "Paddy" there's really and truly no telling. That Mrs. Francis Richardson (the former Evelyn Reeder), of 217 I Street, Northwest, will realize that she is far too lovely for her friends to let her entirely alone. She's engaged in a new and interesting sort of work these days and must of necessity neglect her admirers. But look out, Evelyn, dear, busy or not, some of us will be seeing you. That little Sylvia Jefferson, 142 U Street, will keep on winning prizes for her excellence in storytelling. She may turn out one of her own some day like Louisa Alcott's "Little Wmen," or Dunbar's "Lil' Gal." That the house atop a hill at 3119 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, will always be as pretty as it is today. Mr. and Mrs. Creed Childs and their daughter, Rosa, live there. And you talk about a place being spick and span. Why, their friends have often threatened to remove their sordid shoes are they enter those shining doors. And that Creed! What a mechanic he is! I remember once when dear Martha (that's the Mrs.) was entertaining her club ("Rosederes." I think she called them), the jolly Creed said not a word. But when the guests assembled in the dainty dining room, way up over their heads, in bright electrified letters, they saw these sparkling words: "Welcome, Rosederes." Now, wasn't that dear of Creed? As for Martha (being the efficient housewife) you expect every now and then at least to find her dull or tired or something. But always she seems the same lovely, laughing happy Martha. And in an atmosphere like that at 3119 Sherman Avenue, how in the world could their growing daughter, Rosa be other than the sweet thing that she is?

That there will always be The Tribune with its pages bright and green to tell you in its own way of the things it has heard and seen.

Drinks made from fresh fruits and berries are more important than many suppose. They should be featured occasionally even in cold weather, and far more than occasionally from March until cold weather again sets in. The fresh fruit drink is one of the best preventatives of spring fever. Spring fever, by the way, is nothing more nor less than an over-loaded stomach besieaching the owner for a little time to rest. The large heavy meals eaten during the winter time were necessary to supply heat, but with the coming of spring less food was required, and we often fail to appreciate this fact until we develop a real case of what is commonly known as spring fever. Orangeage (Serves 6) 4 cups orange juice 2 cups iced water Sugar Cracked ice Here is where the fresh fruit drink fits into the diet. Without getting any great amount of food value, we secure considerable bulk which is easily digested and which loads the body up with minerals, salts and vitamins. Best of all, fruits are alkaline in their reaction, and tend to ciff-set, the meats, eggs, and breads which constitute such a large portion of our winter and spring food. When the day is hot and the children are clamoring for something to eat or drink, give them a cool glass of lemonade or orangeade with or without a piece of bread and jam or some cookies. This will make a mid-meal lunch that will furnish quick-energy to the children and tide them over so that they will come to the table for their next full meal, without loss of appetite that so often follows a too liberal allowance of between-meal food.

Seek to Halt Richmond Picketing RICHMOND. Va.—(ANP) At a meeting held to discuss picketing of A. & P. stores here in an effort to have white clerks replaced by croes in the black belt, T. C. Walker, Negro adviser on State CWA affairs, when called upon, expressed a view that picketing was not the best method of obtaining results. Mr. Walker is now attempting to bring about a discussion of the matter by representatives of the N.A.A.C.P. and the A. & P. stores in an effort to arbitrate with a view of settling it peaceably. Seven stores are at present being picketed. First Negro Salesman [Name] RANDALL L. TYUS, first Negro salesman to be hired regularly by the Rumford Baking Powder Company, of Providence, P.L. who is now in this city to carry on an extensive sales pro- gram. RUMFORD COMPANY HAS NEGRO SALES- MAN HERE Randall L. 'yus, first Negro salesman to be employed by the Rumford Baking Powder Company, of Providence, Rhode Island, arrived in Washington this week to initiate a local sales program which will continue for the next ten or twelve weeks, the Tribune learned today. It was only recently that the Rumford Company, becoming alert to the purchasing power of the Negro market, decided upon an eight month experimental sales promotion program in which Negro salesmen would be used, to determine whether or not Negro salesmen could more effectively reach the Negro community; than the regular white sales force alone. The experiment has proven so highly successful that it will be continued on a permanent basis. Mr. Tyus is a graduate of Fisk, in the class of 1932, majoring in economics and business administration. During his four years at college he was for four years president of the campus Y.M.C.A., for three years president of his class, and for two years president of his fraternity chapter. One outstanding sidelight upon his career at Fisk is the fact that he earned every penny of his way through school and finished with money in his pocket. He began work with the Rumford Company in October, 1932, and has since visited most of the cities throughout the South, as well as Chicago and St. Louis.

NEW RECORDER OF DEEDS WAS ONCE A BELL BOY Had Interesting and Colorful Career, Was Student at Howard University and Served His Interneship at Freedmen's Hospital Hoover to the national housing commission in 1930. Still Commissioner Hundreds of houses in Negro districts here were condemned and a new tuberculosis hospital for Negroes resulted from the survey. Dr. Thompkins still is an assistant commissioner in the hygiene and communicable disease department. He is a thirty-third degree Mason and chairman of the health commission of the Elks, which recently completed a survey of conditions among Negroes in 256 cities. He is a curator of Lincoln University and chief of the surgical staff at General Hospital No. 2. He lives at 1306 Euclid Avenue, is married, and has two daughters, Miss Helen Thompkins a student at Lincoln University, and Marion Elizabeth Thompkins, 6 years old. Dr. Thompkins's wife was Miss Jessie Embry, formerly professor of English at Lincoln High School, Lincoln University and the West Virginia Institute. They were married in 1913. Dean Holmes Appointed to Students Work Commission Dean D. O. W. Holmes, of the College of Education of Howard University, has been appointed to the recently organized Commission on Consultations about Student Christian Work which held its first meeting Friday and Saturday, at the Men's Faculty Club of Columbia University, New York City. The purpose of the Commission, which consists of about 30 persons and is national in scope, is to explore the possibilities and the opportunities facing the Student Christian Movement at this time in America. I cover the Black Cabinet. I am a kibitzer in the New Deal! Dr. William J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, Mo., who was recently appointed by President Roosevelt as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, has had an interesting and colorful career. The position pays an annual salary of $5,600 a year. He will have about 90 persons under his supervision. Born fifty years ago in Jefferson City, Mo. Dr. Thompkins worked as a b liboy at the old Madison House while going to school. There he became acquainted with Governor Dockery, Governor Stone and Governor Stephens and politicians throughout the state. Was H.U. Student He received a bachelor of science degree at Lincoln (Mo.) University. Later he studied two years at the University of Colorado and two years at Howard University at Washington. He served his internship at Freedmen's Hospital in Washington and went to Kansas City to practice medicine in 1906. In 1915 he was appointed the first Negro superintendent of General Hospital No. 2. He served almost two years. In 1918 he was reappointed superintendent of the hospital and served four years. In that time the hospital was improved from class D to class A rating and was recognized by the American College of Surgeons, the American Medical Association and the National Hospital Association. His Plan a National Model In 1927, Dr. Thompkins was appointed assistant health commissioner in the department of hygiene and communicable disease and was assigned to make a survey of tuberculosis and housing conditions among Negroes. The plan of his survey was adopted as a model by the American Public Health Commission. His housing plan was presented by President IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK.

Evanti, Former D.C. School Teacher, Studied Under Masters Has Sung in All Parts of the World, Including France, Italy, Spain, and U.S.A.; Sees Great Future for Negro Operatic Singers Not long ago a young Washington woman appeared at the White House in what amounted virtually to a "command performance" before the First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a group of luncheon guests, all women of the highest rank and prestige in the social and political world. Enthusiastically acclaimed, she rendered song after song, standing beside the famous French piano in the East Room, with the likeness of President and Mrs. George Washington looking benignly down upon her and the prisms of a crystal chandelier reflecting light from the fireplaces and the warm color of the gold draperies about the room. For Lillian Evanti, the beautiful ex-school teacher who went abroad eight years ago to seek her artistic fortune and found it almost overnight, this was indeed an hour of triumph, for in effect it design her as not merely one of the finest singers of her race, but as the possessor of one of the greatest voices of her time. This is no overstatement; it is fully borne out by the enthusiastic notices of world-reputed critics who have heard her sing. Vacationing "Possessing a charming and attractive stage presence," one writer said not long ago, "she is simple and direct in her attitude toward her music, singing without affectation and with true musical insight." "She possesses a beautiful soprano voice which she develops with sureness and artistic understanding," another wrote. "Unusual taste marks her singing as well as her personality," said still a third. Evanti's technique is indeed astonishing. Not only does she sing in five languages; she speaks them fluently as well. Perimaps this is the secret by which she manages to bring to each song in her extensive repertoire an individual character and color otherwise impossible to achieve Her voice is so beautifully proportioned in production that she can convey emotional intensity as persuasively as she can capture the repose of simple songs and spirituals. Her outspoken operatic temperament is marked by the style and taste of a true artist. She is "to the manor born" a real aristocrat of the world of art and music. Grandfather With John Brown Grandfather With John Brown This quality which so distinguishes everything she does is not hard to understand when the story of her life is told. Her grandfather, Henry Evans, was one of that famous group known as the Oberlin Rescuers, serving as a station-master on the Underground Railroad. More than once caught red-handed in his daring attempts to lead fugitive slaves to freedom, on one occasion his fighting spirit inspired Salmon P. Chase, later governor of Ohio, to defend him in the Cleveland courts. It is also recorded that he was among those who, with John Brown of Ossawatomie, struck the blow for freedom at Harpers Ferry. Her grandmother on this side of the family was one of five generations American-born, a mixture of Indian and Negro stock. She herself was well-educated, a high school and college graduate. At the time that she decided to go abroad to study for an operatic career she was serving as a teacher of music in the public schools of the District of Columbia, and married to Roy Wilfred Tibbs, a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, whose work with the glee club of Howard University has brought him no little fame. It was from a combination of the names Evans and Tibbs that the stage name which she finally chose for her Parisian debut was evolved. Before leaving America, through correspondence directed by Roland Hayes, she had gotten in touch with Madame Salmon Tan-Harbe, of the French capital, who promised to meet her when she arrived there and to assist her in any way that she could. The French woman was intensely surprised to find her so yong and so ignorant of French manners, language, and customs. Nevertheless she found her an apartment near the Park Monceau and in time introduced her to Doumongou and Marv Gagnier, former singers of the Opera Comique, who, charmed by her clear coloratura soprano, urged her to study under someone of wide experience. Sings for Instructress After a short period of instruction, she sang for Madame Ritter-Champi, a famous instructress, who, though abrupt and severely critical, seemed pleased to hear the kind of soprano which would prove novel to Parisian ears. Champi, after hearing her, said without a softening bon mot, "You don't breathe deep enough. You don't know the principles and practice of acting. You don't know how to properly combine your Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1934 A. E. H. MADAME EVANTI, snapped informally while vacationing in Nice. glance, your attitude, and your gesture. Your walk and bearing do not make for stage presence." All this was translated to the American woman by an English girl of 14, who added succinctly by way of explanation: "You don't know how to stand up, and you don't know how to sit down. And when you sit down, you don't know how to remain seated." All these things Evanti must learn, and more—how to rise, how to fall, how to drag herself across the stage, and still more important, how to achieve at will the mental states that accompany action on the stage, how to produce in her mind thoughts that drag along at heavy large at one moment, then in a second change to merry allegro. Suffers Breakdown Champi was chosen as her teacher—one who understood no word of English while the pupil knew no French. The only way in which they could converse together was in Italian music terms. Close application and constant study sapped Evanti's vitality as the months rolled on, and this period of attrition forebode the inevitable nervous breakdown. Before very long the extended periods of rehearsal brought a complete loss of voice. Compelled to retire to Vichy for rest, Evanti found here, at last, people who were sympathetic and willing to listen to her broken French. In a very short time she mastered their language, and at once began to study the great French opera, "Lakme," of Delibes. Her first public appearance was at the salon of Madame Salmon, where probably an even hundred music lovers had gathered to hear her sing. Bitter-Champi took the occasion, between opera appearances, to hear her sing American spirituals and songs she had learned in the provinces of France, and was so favorably impressed that she invited her to Nice for final preparation for an audition before the grand director of the opera. Anxiety was the flaming ingredient of this audition. The moments leading up to it were filled with devastating emotion. Toward this one hour she had shaped her whole career. For her the rudition became the greatest heart-throb of her incipient career. It was a test before which nerves of iron might be excused for trembling. The audition was made in a theatre before five critical judges who sat in the dark and chatted together, seemingly paying no attention to her singing. A_t its conclusion the grand director uttered a cold "Thank you," put on his hat and coat, and walked out. Had she failed? A_t seemed impossible. Yet how else could the grand director's attitude be explained? Evanti felt as though the world had dropped from under her. She was sunk; she had fallen from the heights to the ocean bottom and far above her she could hear the booming ocean waves. She had failed in her career, and there was rotting she could do about it now. She Secs the Grand Director The whole thing was so hard to believe that she could not convince herself that it was true. A rare hunch suggested that she seek out the grand director and find out what in her performance had displeased him. He lived so far from Paris that hours were required to reach him by bus. Even when she arrived in the town o' his residence, she found it next to impossible to catch him at his home. Undaunted, she secured a lodge next to his in the theatre and talked to him between acts to find out the cause of her failure. To her great surprise, she found that he had in reality been favorably impressed by her voice. What was more, he asked her if she would consider a contract for the following year. The proposition came with breath-taking suddenness. The reluctant Evanti replied that she would have to take a little time to link the matter over. In reality she hurried back to Paris and conferred with Champi. Not long afterward the contract was signed. It was not long before she began to realize what she was up against. Hers was to be a debut in a foreign country, in a foreign language, for a foreign people, with no friends or claquers about—with nothing at all, indeed, out a voice and a certain God-given assurance that spurred her on. Preparation for Debut It was no; the debut itself, but the final preparations for it, which brought the turn of fortune in Evantil's favor. Lakun had been chosen for her, since the dark-skimmer characterization of an unsophisticated Hindu maid seemed particularly fitted to her talents. The one trouble that loomed on her horizon was the fact that writers of opera had provided so few Oriental roles to fit a coloraturé voice that, even if she scored tremendously, there were but few parts that she could play in. At the final rehearsal, Jean Marny, tenor, who had been chosen to sing opposite Evanti in the opera, became so immensely bored, having sung the role nearly two hundred times, that he absented himself from the hall with true French leave. When the duct of the first meeting of Lakme and her lover should have been rehearsed, he was among those absent. Felix Haas, leader of the orchestra, is responsible for the statement that Evanti not only became furious at this absence from the final rehearsal, but that her eyes spat forked fire and that her stature grew to fill the whole theatre. When Marny heard of the rage he was quite apologetic. Time and again he expressed his disappointment at not witnessing the gust of passion with which Evanti brought down the roof of the vacant theatre. He assured Evanti that an American, to be successful in opera, to taste the glory of achievement in France, must be somewhat, if not altogether, mad. The story came to the ears of the high directors, who eventually decided to launch Evanti in a more passionate role than "Lakme." Verdi's "Traviata" proved the vehicle that at last enabled her to find herself. Debut at Toulon Her debut was made at Toulon, in the role of "Violetta." Evanti did not tell the director there that she was making her first formal stage appearance in the new role. Instead she sang as though she had been singing "Violetta" all her life. Her performance proved an immense success. After it was over she lingered for a long time in her dressing room, afraid to meet some note of destructive criticism. Encouragement came finally from the comments of an army of photographers who sought her there. When she finally ventured on the street she was greeted by an immense crowd with shouts of "Bravo! Bravo!" Many of those who had attended the performance followed her worshipfully all the way to her hotel.

Returning to America in 1925, she appeared in a dozen cities and was acclaimed in each by large mixed audiences. On her return to Paris in 1926, she met the impressarios from the larger provinces—Lyons, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Nimes, Toulouse, and St. Etiennes and sang for them under contract in 1927 and 1928, thus accomplishing in four short years what for most operatic stars require a minimum of six.
