Quick Thinker Saves Lives of Five
MONTGOMERY, Ala, (ANP)—Sprinting more than 100 yards to a flaming car containing five white motorists, Samuel Howard, covered himself with glory here Wednesday when he saved the lives of the endangered five by breaking open the door of the car and dragging them out.
A block away when the car containing the family of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Mizer, numbering three children all in their teens, collided with that of Thomas S. Thweatt, white, 423 Finley Avenue Howard's act was witnessed by Judge H. S. Fuller, who lived nearby. The judge said Howard "did some heroic work." Howard told detectives that he heard the crash and looking around saw the flames shooting "as high as a telephone post." The Mizer car was struck broadside by the Thweatt machine and was practically demolished and hurled for about 20 feet.

Well Known Publisher Dies in Plunge From Three-Story Building
Vol. XIII. No. 50
Devoted His Life to Fighting Segregation and Per-
BOSTON, Mass.—William Monroe Trotter, 62, former editor of the Boston Guardian, a well known newspaper published in the interest of the Negro race, committed suicide Saturday morning his birthday, shortly after 5:20 by jumping from the roof of the 3-story dwelling where he lived at 41 Cunard Street. His body was discovered lying on the sidewalk by Wallace and Mary Gibson with whom he had lived for several years.
Lost Newspaper
Mr. and Mrs. Gibson told the police that. Mr. Trotter had recently lost control of the paper through financial reverses and that he had been morose and despondent. He was a widower. The body was taken to the Southern Mortuary.
Mr. Trotter had for a number of years been a figure in Boston where he was widely known for his ardent defense of his people. He was born in Springfield Township, Ross County, Ohio, April 7, 1872 and coming to the east he entered Harvard College where he received his A.B. in 1895 and his A.M. the following year. Thereafter he said he had a special mission and in one of the Harvard '25 year books he wrote himself as follows:
Gave Life to Race
"I had been out of college and in real life but four years, beginning to rise as a negotiator of real estate mortages when I realized that the democracy which I had enjoyed at dear old Harvard was not secure for Americans of color just because of pigmentation. The conviction grew upon me that pursuit of business, money, civic or literary position was like building a house upon the sands, if race persecution and public discrimination for mere color was to spread up from the south and result in a fixed caste of color. It would mean that, however native and to the manner born every colored American would be really a civic outcast, forever and an alien in the public life. So I plunged in to contend for full equality in all things, governmental, political, civil and judi- (Continued on page 2)

White Cop Who Killed Man After Holdup Called "Killer"
In a letter to Major Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, Charles H. Houston, dean of the Howard Law School and member of the legal staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called attention to the face that Officer Watson Salkeld, white, went too far in shooting Clifton Young three times after the first bullet had stopped the man.
Attorney Houston also pointed out that Salkeld has a reputation as a killer and has fatally wounded three colored persons. Although the white bandits were with Young, Salkeld did not fire at them.
The letter to Major Brown follows:
"At this date I am writing you concerning the killing of the colored bandit, Clifton Young, by Officer Watton Salkeld in the filling station holdup, April 1, 1924. I did not write you before Officer Salkeld was cited, because I did not want this letter to be misunderstood.
"Negro citizens are just as anxious as any other citizens to be rid of Negro landlords, and I wouldn't be a party to anything which would cripple the police in the

Knife-wound Proves Fatal to 15-Year-Old Following Thursday Fight

Beginning his testimony with the acknowledgement that "all little boys who do not tell the truth go to the Reform School," the little boy offered a clear, uncontradicted version of the fight, last Thursday night, that resulted in the fatal injury of the older of the two participants.
Following the inquest, Alfred Jones, 14, of 432 L Street, Northwest, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury for the fatal stabbing of Abraham Hooker, 15, of 431 N Street, Northwest.

proper maintenance of law and order. But there are certain elements in this killing which leave me uneasy and apprehensive for the future.
Unnecessary Cruelty
"I am not complaining that Officer Salkeld shot and killed Young. In these days of cold-blooded bandits the police cannot afford to take any chances. I do feel however that under the circumstances it was not necessary for Officer Salkeld to have shot Young four times. At the inquest Officer Salkeld himself testified that he knew the first shot had taken effect, and yet he continued firing in the direction of the Negro although he took his eyes off him and began watching one of the white bandits who was his partner in the crime. It seems to me that here we come very close to the line of unnecessary
Proposed Anti-To Be Constitu
A comprehensive 28-page brief setting forth the constitutionality of the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill was filed last week with the Senate sub-committee on the Judiciary by Charles H. Tuttle, former U.S. district attorney for New York.
WAITERS STRIKE AFTER STEWARD FIRES HEAD
Led by Clarence Earis Walker, former head waiter at the Broadmoor Hotel, 3601 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, twelve men walked out of the swank uptown establishment this week in protest against policies of Frederic Goetz, steward there, who last week discharged Walker after a feud between the two had developed.
Gotes, a German who was only recently appointed to the staff of the hotel, is said to have disapproved strongly of the idea of having colored waiters under his management. When Walker, as head waiter, refused of discharge the men who had worked with him in the hotel for the past four years without a single complaint from the guests, Goetz summarily discharged him, and announced that a white head waiter would be installed in his place. It was in protest against this action that the twelve men walked out.
All of the men have served on the staff of the hotel for at least four years, and before the pointment of Goetz had experienced no trouble whatsoever with the eldest or management of the hotel. In fact, they had often been praised for the courteous and efficient manner in which they carried out their duties.
Five of the men are world war veterans, it was pointed out this week to the Tribune and two of these suffered serious injuries while on the Western Front. Goetz, on the other hand, fought on the German side during the great conflict.
Included among the men who went on strike are James Thompson, Harry Smith, Paris Staples, Walter Baker, George Anderson, George Hawk, William Hill, Edward Smith, Aaron Gibson, William Russell and William Parks. Negotiations for their return were being made, but had not been completed, this morning.
Tar in Sho Dean Hou cruelty.
"While the Negro population accords full recognition to Officer Salkeld as a brave and resourceful officer, it cannot forget that this is at least the third Negro whom he has killed since he has been on the police force. Nor can it forget that in this particular killing he did all of his shooting at Young, although a white bandit, Young's partner in the crime, was on the spot, within direct range of his gun and trying to escape. How did Officer Salkeld know that the white bandit would not get under cover and kill him? Why did he not shoot to stop the white bandit after he knew he had shot Young?
"Negro citizens do not want to paralize the police or to expose them to unnecessary danger, but they do want it understood that a policeman's badge is not a hunt

TUBERCULAR PATIENTS IN RACE CLASH
TUBERCULAR PATIENTS IN RACE CLASH
Hospital Inmates Feel Segregation Impulse; Both Claim Mistreatment
Reports that racial differences had found their way into the confines of the District Tuberculosis Hospital, Fourteenth and Upahur Streets, Northwest, early this week, were confirmed by officials of the institution in a conversation with the Tribune yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.
The investigation, however, disclosed that although newspaper accounts at first attributed the disturbance to colored patients who claimed they were being discriminated against, the real source of the trouble could be traced to white women inmates.
Efforts to communicate with Dr. J. Winthrop Peabody, superintendent of the hospital, were unavailing; but a secretary who refused to give her name told the Tribune that the feeling ran high among the members of both races following a rearrangement of tables in the dining room. This feeling resulted in an exchange of words between white women and colored men and culminated in a refusal of the latter to eat their evening meal. They did, however, return for breakfast the following morning.
Lack of Room
Lack of space at the hospital makes it necessary, according to this official, to feed all the inmates at the same time and in the same room. Tables for white patients are on one side of the room and those for colored on the other. The installation of a new ice box made certain changes necessary early this week. When these changes were completed it was discovered that the (Continued on page 2)

ing license. "Negro citizens are following these cases very closely. Attorneys James G. Eaton and Edward P. Lovett attended the inquest as members of the Legal Committee of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. The comments in the Negro Press show that the community is not whol'. satisfied with the police version of the affair. Negroes do not want any special favors from the police, but they do want the same treatment accorded white citizens under similar circumstances.
"In passing, I might call your attention to the fact that in his testimony at the inquest, Officer Robert J. Thompson used the word "nigger" in referring to the deceased Clifton Young. At the close of the testimony Messrs. Eaton and Lovett called this matter to the attention of the Coroner and Deputy Coroner who reprimanded the officer and obtained from him an expression of regret. I seek no further action against Officer Thompson in this matter. I call it to your attention in order that you make take such steps as may be necessary to impress upon the force the necessity that they be gentlemen in words as well as in deeds."

Charles Cox's Stomach Contents Being Examined to Determine Cause
Disposition of the remains of Charles Cox, brother-in-law of Mrs. Laura Derricotte of the 300 block U Street, Northwest, is awaiting the report from the chemical analysis of the contents of his stomach, according to Detective Sergeant George Darnell, chief of the homicide squad, yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. Mr. Cox was stricken in Union Station just before boarding a train for his White Plains, N. Y., home last Thursday. He died shortly afterward at Freedman's Hospital.
According to police of the First Precinct the man had been visiting Mrs. Derricotte for a few days in her U Street home. Shortly before leaving the house for the terminal he had had a bottle of whisky taken from him. He searched for it, but found instead another bottle which he took for his own.
Arriving at the station Mr. Cox went to the wash room to take a little drink before the long trip. Too late he discovered that the bottle contained a disinfectant which immediately poisoned him. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital but physicians were unable to do anything for him. His body was removed to the District Morgue where an autopsy was performed and the stomach contents turned over to the District Chemist. No report had been made on the findings of the latter up to a late hour yesterday (Wednesday).

The slogan chosen for the campaign is "Read Papers Served by Colored Boys." The Association is also in the midst of its membership drive, Mr. J. W. Eatty will speak in this connection at the meeting Friday.
James Butler, 23-year-old youth, was dismissed by a jury in the Police Court Monday morning on a charge of striking Roy M. Sykes, white, self-styled resident manager of an apartment, at 1735 New Hampshire Avenue, last March 24. The jury composed of eight white men, three white women and one colored man, brought in its verdict of not guilty in 20 minutes. Butler who lives at 1300 V Street, Northwest, is employed as messenger for a drug store at 1601 Seventeenth Street.
Told to Use Back Door
According to testimony the youth went to the apartment to deliver a package to a Mrs. Johnson, white. He entered the front door and walked to the fifth floor. On arriving at the door of the apartment in which the woman lived he discovered that Sykes had followed him to the floor and demanded to know why the boy did not use the tradesmen entrance. Butler is alleged to have told Sykes to "mind your own business" and walked down stairs to the first floor. Sykes in the meantime had taken the elevator and was standing at the front door when Butler arrived.
Fell to Floor
When the youth started out of the door Sykes is alleged to have grabbed him. In pulling away Butler said the two fell to the floor and Sykes struck his head against a door.
Sykes denied falling, but stated that he was struck in the eye by the youth when the latter was told to use the back stairs. In testifying Butler stated that he had been to the apartment several times and on each occasion he entered the front door.
Said Youth Was "Sassy"
Mrs. Johnson testified that Butler was "sassy" and "talked back" to Sykes although she did not see the alleged blow struck. Testimony developed that Sykes did odd jobs about the apartment and was also elevator operator. Butler was represented by M. J. Covert, former attorney for the B. and O. Railroad, Carl Kindlerberger, assistant U.S. Attorney, represented the government.

Holoman, pastor of Second Baptist Church, paid a glowing tribute to the Rev. Mr. Washington. Dr. Holoman took the occasion to slam the Methodist ministry for the manner in which it treated the Rev. Mr. Washington in his earlier days, but added that he was glad that this had happened as it caused him to transfer his faith and become a Baptist.

Jesus Teaches Forgiveness Studies in Matthew By the Rev. W. A. Thomas
Golden Text—"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." —Matt. 6:12.
1. Forgiveness a Law of the Kingdom (Matt. 18:21-24)
I do not know if those who arranged the second quarter S. S. Lessons were congizant of the fact that they are giving a description of the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom of Christ on earth, though the arrangement is true.
The first lesson treats of the rock foundation of the kingdom, its corner stone, and the other material that will constitute the foundation upon which the kingdom of Christ will be erected. We must be well aware that no King can enter into warfare with another until he first prepares his army for the conflict.
All through the Gospel age the Holy Spirit has been choosing and electing, and arming Christ's army for the mighty Spiritual battle that is now going on in the Spirit realm between Christ's army and the army of Satan (Fev. 19:11-16).
The second lesson has been commented upon in the previous issue of this paper, it was taught by Jesus, that all who come unto the church should have the disposition, and qualities of a child. Also who was the lost sheep, and the other sheep who were not of this fold, Israel.
All institutions, governments, etc., adopt rules, and regulations called laws by which they are governed, and laws of the kingdom are no less essential; for order is Heaven's first law.
One of the laws of the Church is forgiveness.
Peter asks this question of Jesus, how many times should he forgive his brother.
A great many people say that the brother should repent, before he asked forgiveness, but in this instance Jesus says nothing about repenting, because the trespasses or debt was not against God but the brother. All obedience that are committed against God must be recited of before forgiveness will be granted, repentance is not necessary in this question asked by Peter.
This law of forgiveness will bring peace, joy and harmony among the children of the Church

if it would only be followed out.
2. Forgiveness Illustrated by Jesus
(Matt. 18:25-27)
In these verses Jesus gives an illustration of the king who took an account of his servants and one was brought until him who owed him a great debt and as the man could not pay, the king ordered that the whole possessions of the man should be sold, but the servant fell at the feet of the king worshiped, and asked forgiveness, confessing his inability to pay.
The lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him of that debt.
3. The Consequences of Unforgiveness (Matt. 18:28-35)
The next eight verses treat of the unforgiving person after having been so mercifully dealt with, goes and finds one of his fellow-servants who owned him a debt, demanded that he should pay him, and when the fellow-sevant asked compassion because he could not pay, had him cast into prison till he should pay the debt. His lord heard of the incident, called this servant, chastised him, became wroth with him, and demanded that he should be delivered to the tormentors, until he should pay, all that was due unto him.
How oft do we pray the words of the golden text with no thoughts of its meaning, or what the consequence of our failure to put them in action; so sure as we ask the Almighty God to forgive us our trespasses, in the like manner as we forgive others, there is no doubt that he will answer accordingly. How much bitterness of spirit, ill-feeling, walking disorderly one with another because of an unnaturally, selfish unforgiving Spirit which could be avoided if we would only put away our pride and haughtiness of demeanor and become humble, meek and gentle one toward the other. The 35th verse says: So will your heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Put on therfore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarred against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (Col. 3:12-13).

was made. The boys in this activ-
ity have made some creditable
vorking crawings or plans of mod-
el airplanes, redio hookups, wiriny
diagrams, model ships, electric
lamps, ete.

tables, knives and forks boxes, pic-
ture frames. These will be on ex-
hibition at an car‘y date.

---
The Celtics end the Renaissance have been chief contender for the world title for the past eight years. In that time no other team, save for a brief period that the Cleveland Rosenblooms climbed into the spotlight, has threatened the national superiority of these two rivals. The game in Washington will be the climax of the series staged annually for the championship. Last year, the Washington game proved to be the deciding issue although the series had been figured differently. The meeting of the two teams in Baltimore the following night was to have closed the campaign, but with the Renaissance coping the game in the capital, the Monumental City game was rendered unnecessary.
The Negro outfit has much at stake in the approaching Washington game. Beside taking the floor in defence of their title, the Harlemites must win in order to vindicate themselves for the numerous defeats they have suffered in nontitle clashes at the hands of the Celtics.
On the first of two previous barn-storm trips, the white aggregation turned back the Reens six straight times. Two of these were clean-cut victories and the colored quint was outcultured in every department. The second tour brought the rivals together five times with the Renaissance able to capture only two of the decisions. To date the champion and challenger have met four times with each having emerges, the victor twice. Two games remain to be played in other cities before their Tuesday contest is brought here.
Since those early season defeats, the colored aggregation has been putting everything into their work with the aim of being at the peak when they come to the Tenth and U Streets hall for the closing engagement. Captain Fat Jenkins has been carrying his squad through strenuous practice sessions in addition to the seven games weekly their schedule calls for.

Tuskegee Prepares For Eighth Annual Carnival
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
Candidates for Tuskegee's 1934 track team have been hard at work all this week preparing for competition in the Eighth Annual Tuskegee Relay Carnival, which will be held in the Alumni Bowl, May 11 and 12. The women's championship track and field games will be held on May 11, and the men's championship relay and special events will take place on the following day.
Invitations have been sent to all the leading universities, colleges and high schools throughout the country and a large entry list is expected.
Morelee Singleton, Roscoe Byrd, Phillip Davis and Reginald Humphries won the 1'00 meter run last year. Byrd, Davis and Humphries are about sure of their places on the team this year. Oziah Johnson, the scintillating backfield star, is being groomed to take the place of Morelee Singleton, who did not return to school. Johnson is showing considerable speed and will probably be used as lead off man. This team will face keener competition next month and it is the endeavor of the coaching staff to chisel off a nice fraction of time from the relay race of 1933.

Southern Coaches Suggest Cage Rule Changes
ATLANTA. G., (ANP) - Wriggaging a foul in order that the fans may tell whether it's roughing, shoving or other violations, were recommendations offered the National Basketball Coaches' Association at the closing session of its meeting here last week Other new rules listed the increasing of time out periods from one to two minutes; rewording the rules so as to make an official hand the ball to a player instead of merely handling it out-of-bounds toss-ins; discouraging the use of the huddle for signal calling which is believed to slow up the game but elevation of the basket from 10 to 12 feet and coloring the ball and the net under the rim black were scheduled for further consideration.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 12. 1934
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
The story of a modern Brutus whose role as "good samaritan" ended when he turned up as the asp in worm's clothing was told, early this week, during one of those gabfests anent the once proud Washington Pilots and professional colored baseball in the national capital.
It was a story of a white man—one of those individuals often referred to as "a friend of the race." He was a good old scout, a fine fellow, a clean-cut sportsman—gawdblessim.
It seems he earned his laurel wreath by the friendly spirit with which he dealt with the owners and agents of the Pilots. He gave the team all kinds of publicity. He said such nice things about them. He fought so hard for their cause. He literally pushed the pasteboard-users through the turntles and stuffed the sheckles into the pockets of the promoters by his energetic ballyhoo in favor of the sepian baseballers.
His tireless efforts in behalf of the pioneers of local baseball under lights won for him many hearts in colored homes where baseball is talked of, for and about. Such co-operation on the part of the white press is unusual. A guy like that is really worth his salt.
One day this week, your writer was talking with a couple of the fellows who were high up in the doings of that now defunct organization. One was kibitizing the game of publicity as given by weekly rags, and eventually he wound up by comparing the ballyhoo afforded by race sheets with that of the white man friend's jernel. "Now that guy, 'So-and-So' is a swell chap," he dished out with one of those mother-like smiles.
"Oh, yeah!" claimed in the other who had been standing quietly by, "Well, I don't see where he was so hot; you had to pay for everything you got." At the time he wasn't trying to rhyme—aw there I go—but he just wanted to put over a point. And mighty glad I am that I happened to be on hand.
It developed under investigation that the columns of ballyhoo that were given the Pilots during their regime as a District representative in pro ball were paid for. The fellows who put their beads into the enterprise were taken for a ride. The dude whose business it is to write news and edit a department of the paper went into the advertising game when the question of Negro baseball came before him.
Employing high-powered salesmanship, the writer in question sold the colored backers of the Pilots the idea that they needed his paper more than his paper needed reports of their happenings. By such reasoning he convinced them that his paper could do without news of their race, and as a consequence, the additional subscription from colored readers that would probably follow a policy that called for publication of Negro news matter.
He demanded and got ten cents out of every dollar that was pushed into the box office window at Griffith Stadium, which on consideration will be found not a bad concession. It would net oodles of cash if the same sort of allowance was provided for the February to October publicity given the other professional team here.
Along about the end of the discussion the real "good samaritan" was brought into the argument (for such it was after the disagreement as to whether this writer was a swell guy or not came off). It so happened that in the waning days of the Pilot undertaking, Clark C. Griffith, owner of the Washington American League Baseball Club and of the Griffith Stadium, got wind of what was going on downstairs in his ball park office.
He immediately set about the business of stopping the racket. The income of the downtown "friend" was cut off, and he was permitted to collect no more of the dimes out of the average cash-box return of something like 40 or 50 customers.
Until today some of these fellows who were roped in are still insisting that there was nothing wrong with the treatment accorded them, and when it became known that your writer was going to say something about it—"On, freaven's sake!"

Franklin Business Association jumped from behind the counter long enough to best the Cosmopolitans in the first game. The champs were not expecting such a maneuver from a team so low in the ranks. They were so shocked that it took several minutes for them to snap out of the daze. Their intention was to make a clean sweep of the affair. Dr. H. Fisher maudled the wood for a high game of 144. This was not good enough with three of his teammates rolling below a hundred, while four of the opponents were massaging the sticks for 100 or better. This boy, B. Johnson, of the Franklin, certainly knows how to make a ball 4 tricks. The opposition was all eyes when he closed up a couple of bad splits and converted them into spares.
A. G. O. proved to be a set-up for Freedmen's Hospital. The Medicos were never in any real danger of losing any of the games. They took the set with ease. Capt. Robinson, of the Colonels, rolled the lowest set marked against him to date. He tried everything in trying to coax luck down his alley. First, he yanked himself out of the anchor position. This gave him three pins more than the previous game. During the third game he donned his hat, this increased his pin-fall by one.

Jack Johnson Fifty-six
NEW YORK, (ANP) -- Jack Johnson celebrated his fifty-sixth birthday last Saturday very quietly. Jack looks the picture of health and much younger than his years. For years, "Lil" Arthur has kept his hair closely cropped to fool the boys. He is proprietor of a road house at Hesbrouck Heights, New Jersey.
Trees Would Play
The Willow Tree baseball team is about the business of booking games for the coming season. A game for the first Sunday in May is being sought at present. Teams are requested to write or call on John Johnson, 214 D Street, Northwest. He is at home every evening between 5:30 and 7 o'clock.
Notice to Baseball Managers and Scorers!
Quite frequently reports of games and their box-scores are left out of the Tribune. The reasons are many and varied. Chief among them are the faulty methods used by scorers in preparing the reports.
Some managers or their representatives make out a box-score of their own which they copy from other papers. There are several different types of box-scores, and unless the one which is copied is identical to that used by us, the record has to be omitted, although the game is usually summarized in a short article.
The Tribune wants to publish your news, but it must insist on uniformity. Bear with us and make an effort to assist us in every way possible in this respect.
Another common fault is the illegibility of the writing. Not every one of us can write what is known as a "beautiful hand" but most of us can be understood if a little care is exercised.
And an important thing is, send in your story the early part of the week—the earlier, the better.
Thank you,
SAM LACY.

St. Louis, Mo.—Two Negroes were crowned national A. A. U. boxing champions in the wind-up of the 1934 amateur tournament, held here last Saturday. Two others were defeated in their quests for titles, one in the finals and the other in the semi-finals
Joe Louis, former Detroit high school boy, was turned up as the ace of the set of champions. The colored light-heavyweight sensation, only 19 years old, rarely was touched by opposing leather-pushers who sought to stop him in his march to the national title. Lewis bounded about the ring with the ferocity of a jungle tiger and shot long, lightning-like right hooks through the guards of his adversaries with unmercury accuracy.
The light-heavy belt was awarded Louis after his second-round knockout victory over Ario Soldati, Princeton, Ill., 175-pounder. Bud Schild-kuecht, of Kansas City, was floored three times by Louis before the latter finally put him away for the count in the semi-final engagement.
Another Michigan colored boxer, Stainley Evans, from Highland Park, won the heavyweight title by outpointing Irving Stribel, ponderous man-mountain of St., Louis, who outweighed the winner by more than 30 pounds.
Amsey Rimson, another colored boxer, felt the eting of defeat when Norbert Mechan, an Irishman from San Francisco, knocked him out in the first round of their semi-final bout.

MOST OF ACTORS IN "STEVEDORE" SANG IN CHOIR
Play Will Have Its First Preview on Saturday in New York
Three quarters of the actors and actresses who play all the main roles in "Stevedore," the second Theatre Union production, went on the stage first as singers. A survey of the company shows that most of them began in church choirs in various parts of the country.
Since ensemble singing is an important part of several scenes in "Stevedore," these trained singers are a great asset. Michael Blankfort, the director, has turned over the direction of the music to William C. Elkins, who stepped out of a church choir in 1893 to direct the choral work for the famous minstrel team of Williams and Walker, and has been teaching and directing his own "Elkins Dextra Singers," and appearing in vaudeville and radio ever since.
Georgette Harvey, who created the "Maria" of "Porgy" and who runs "Binney's Lunch Room" in "Stevedore," toured Europe and Russia for years as the head of her own quartette. She sings in five languages. Ray Yeates sings an unforgettable snatch of blues as the second act curtain rises. He is a member of the Hall Johnson choir, and has directed musical activities at Waters Institute in North Carolina, as well as singing in many Broadway shows.
Carrington Lewis, who as Bobo improvises a mischievous take off on the dock workers' gang captain, is also a member of the Hall Johnson choir. G. Harry Bolden who "loves emotional roles and can cry to order" and does in "Stevedore," was the singing Reverend Jones in "Run Li'l Chillun" and has sung in many productions. Susie Sutton, who was Noah's wife in "Green Pastures" had her own musical revue, "Follow Me" and toured the country with it.
"Stevedore" will have its first preview on Saturday, when the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, of 119 West 135th Street, sponsors the performance. It opens officially the following Wednesday. The two leading roles are played by Jack Carter and Edna Thomas, both of whom have distinguished themselves in various dramatic roles.

The T Street House determined to bring to its patrons the very best in the line of stage and screen entertainment begins Saturday with one of the very finest pictures of the year—Al Jolson in "Wonder Bar."
Ten celebrated stars are in this show made by the same producers who turned out "Gold Diggers," "Forty-second Street" and "Footlight Parade." Clamorous Kay Francis heads an all star cast which includes Dick Powell, Delores Del Rio, Al Jolson, Ricardo Cortez, Guy Kibbe and many others including 300 of the world's most beautiful girls for the dance numbers.
In conjunction a new musical revue "Creole Follies" will be presented on the stage, featuring Sally Gooding, footage and cinema star, recently featured with the Mill's Blue Rhythm Band, making her first Washington appearance.
The Three Turbans, a novel dancing act, and the return of the two clever comedians, Long and Markham, also help the show along with forty others. Music will be furnished by the Hardy Brothers orchestra. Midnight show Saturday with reserved seats.

Believing that there are numerous patrons who desire to see an action or Western picture as a change from the usual photo-play, the Republic Theatre will present this type of entertainment every Friday and Saturday.

Tales of high adventure as thrilling as the old sagas of the Norse countries are among the souvenirs of the interpid polar expedition sent into the Arctic, under the direction of Col. W.S. Van Dyke, to film "Eskimo," epic of the North, which will open Sunday at the Republic.
With Van Dyke and his company safely back in Hollywood, details were learned of their eight months' stay in the Far North, frozen in aboard the whaling schooner "Nanuk," which served as home, studio and headquarters of the thirty-five people who

Tullo Carminati, who will be remembered for his work in the recent Broadway productions of "Strictly Dishonorable" and Music in the Air," and is also seen in "Moulin Rouge," the new 20th Century screen musical, blends a sense of humor with his efforts to win Ann Harding's favor. He plays the role of a dashing Italian Count, an ardent wooer who pursues her from his native country back to America, blithely refusing to accept "No" for an answer, and cheerfully wittily meeting each rebuff. Each of these three characters plays an important role in the life of the girl Miss Harding portrays in the story.

A remarkable plot, unusual and gripping, replete with fast, thrilling action, and filled with powerful dramatic situations and romance in its sweetest sense, coupled with most difficult role by Barbara a really superb portrayal of a Stanwyck, marked the local premiere of that famous star in the Warner Brothers production of "Gambling Lady" at the Raphael Theatre beginning Saturday. "Gambling Lady" a success from the moment of its Hollywood preview, has a record of praises from the severest motion picture critics, and the reason was clearly shown in the intence interest with which the audience followed the career of the heroine, a young lady who gambled for a living, but never compromised with her own code of honor either in life or love.
Miss Stanwyck is always a consumate actress, and has given many notable performances in such pictures as "Ever in My Heart," "Baby Face," "So Big," "Illicit" and others. In 'Gambling Lady,' she has a role that calls for the best of her genius for role portrayal.
Jiel McCrea, playing opposite Miss Stanwyck for the first time, gives a brilliant and virile performance, and Pat O'Brien shares honors with him.
Many fine ideas pass into oblivion because their inventors can find no way to make them profitable.
Bringing an orang-utan into camp and the skillful manipulation of trap, snare and net to make good on his orders for many other wild animals bring the crises and surprises that have earned Frank Buck the phrase, "nature saves her greatest thrills for him,"—which accompanies "Wild Cargo" to the Booker T beginning tomorrow (Friday.) Movie fans are the gainers to the extent of what is said to be a highly exciting production where it. Frank Buck does not "pass the buck" to nature for his thrills but goes into pit and trap and tree for the animals himself. He uses a gun to kill in only one instance, that in which a murderous python gets a flying start on him for a deadly constricting process.
Buck's former sensational picture, "Bring Em Back Alive," dealt largely with the constant struggle for survival in jungleland, "Wild Cargo" death definitely with the filling of orders for circus, zoo and carnival. Ranging from a bullfinch to a bull elephant and a tiny mouse deer weighing less than four pounds, to the rhinoceros, armored tank of the tropical wilds, Buck's catch stirs memories of circus days and the throngs that crowd the zoos to watch, the savage beasts on parade.
A bank is like a friend who in fair weather lends you an unbrelha and calls for it when it rains.

Home sustenance gardens for the relief of families unemployed will be started here at once. Notice to this effect was received by A. W. Bochringer in charge of public welfare work here. Miss Mabel Lindsey, was ap pointed local director and has assumed her duties incident to the position.
It is planned to have 200 gardens. They will be located on vacant lots in various sections of the city which have been donated. Free seed will be furnished by the government. Present plans provide that the persons operating the gardens will get all they raise except in cases where there is some other expense other than the seeds involved. It is also planned to can some of the products raised to be used during the winter months. Several months ago Mr. Boehringer asked persons having idle land to donate it for the proposed sustenance gardens and received some responses. However, up to the present time there is not enough land donated for the operation of the 200 gardens. A one having vacant land is asked to donate the same for the needy of the city.
The time limit for the 1933 tags is up at mid-night, Saturday, April 14. So far 3,000 tags have been issued.
The police department has started a drive against all persons who have failed to take out necessary licenses for the year 1933. A number of auto drivers are operating cars without the required driving permit required by the state, and will be subject to arrest.
Bicycle riders will be arrested if they violate the light regulations which are the same as those for automobiles. All bicycles must be equipped with front and back lights, if used at night. Flashlights and hand lights will not be permitted.

MONROE TROTTER COMMITS SUICIDE
(Continued from page 1 ) cial as far as race, creed or color was concerned."
Fought Segregation
For years he waged a crusade against lynching, disfranchisement, peonage, public segregation, injustice and denial of service in public places, these as affecting the Negroes, and he opposed all compromised.
He served a month in jail for a protest against Booker T. Washington's political conservation. He founded the Guardian of which he was editor and publisher, and he helped organize the Boston Suffrage League in 1908 and later the National Equal Rights League.
Went to Paris
He was one of the unofficial delegates who went to Paris to watch the wheels of the Peace Conference go round, but he went through some strenuous experience in getting there, disguising himself as a cook and crossing on a small steamer.
He often clashed with leaders in public life, and during the Wilson Administration he was frequently in the public eye in his opposition to some of the pronouncements of the President whom Trotter called a tyrant.
CLEVELAND IS 12th IN NEGRO BUSINESS
CLEVELAND, Ohio - (ANP) Recent tabulations made by the United States Bureau of the Census of data secured in the first census of Retail Distribution taken in 1930 and covering business operation for the preceding year, reveal that 215 retail stores are operated in this city by Negro proprietors. Populated by 71,899 colored citizens, Cleveland ranks twelfth among cities having 50,000 or more Negro inhabitants, in the number of stores under colored ownership and number of full or part time emplores.
It ranked eleventh in size of pay-
rolls; seventh in value of stocks on
hand; tenth in amount of sales and
sixth in average value of sales per
store. New York, Detroit, Wash-

Citizens Ask That Negro Be Appointed
(Continued from page 1 )
white man is said to have told the callers that "niggers" are inefficient and he would not employ them on other than laloring jobs.
Denies Statement
In an affidavit to the commissioners Wormington denied he made the statement and claimed he not only used the word "Negro," but treated the men in a courteous manner.
In his seven demands for square deal under the new deal, Major Johnson urged the following appointment's "in order· to eliminate possibility of a recurrence of the injustices which be-fell us under the CWA:
Urges Negro Appointments
That a colored representative be placed on the administrative committee in charge of the New Works Program—particularly on Planning Committee, the Committee on Rates of Pay, and the Adjustments Committee.
That a colored assistant relief administrator be appointed.
That wherever bulletins from the office of the Federal Emergency Relief Administrator refer to labor organizations, it not be considered that such reference is to organizations of the American Federation of Labor only.
Administrative Assistant Sought
The colored administrative assistant be placed in the office having charge of job assignments and placements.
That colored people be given an equitable proportion of "white collar," professional, technical, skilled and semi-skilled workers—as well as laborers.
The colored fields of Activity is announced in Bulletin WD-3, Federal Relief Administration, dated March 20, 1934, the Commissioners seek counsel from qualified members of the colored race in this city, to the end that some of the projects unmet by the conditions moving conditions in colored communities.
White Mechanics in Colored Schools
It was pointed out to the commissioners that all of the printing, carpentry and other repair work being done in colored schools—even in the Armstrong Technical and Manual Training School—was being done by white mechanics. Major Johnson reviewed the work of his committee during the life of the CWA and stated how Negroes were jim crowed and refused other than laboring work until a total of 146 were given clerical jobs after a long bitter fight. Of this number 21 were placed in the schools and were dismissed long before the whites who were doing similar work were discharged.
Scores CWA
"The whole CWA was operated on the policy that it was impossible to employ white and colored "white collar" workers on the same job. This practice, we believe to be unwarranted, unfair, and out of harmony with the President's program, calling for a New Deal and a Fair Chance to all citizens."
"This discrimination was carried over to skilled labor. All colored applicants were made to register at an unskilled labor registration point and frankly told they had no chance to be employed as skilled mechanics. Even when a separate registration point was set up for registration of skilled mechanics at Fifth and G Streets, Northwest, colored mechanics were prevented from registering there. This was done in spite of the fact there were hundreds of Negro skilled mechanics available in this city."
No Credit to Capital
"After much protest and after being told repeatedly that it was not the policy of the CWA in Washington to employ colored and white mechanics on the same job, a very few were put on, mainly at Gallinger Hospital, Blue Plains, Howard University, and the Zoo. However, no colored technical men were employed, no colored foremen, timekeepers, inspectors, draftsmen, superintendents of building construction or architects. We did not participate in the study of historic buildings. Three colored artists were employed—but only on Negro projects."
"All of this is history, but very distasteful history to the 135,000 colored people in this city, I believe you agree with me, that it is history that reflects no credit on the Capital of the Nation which proudly considers itself the moral leader of the world."
Only Messengers
"The situation with reference to the employment of colored citizens under the District of Columbia Government in its permanent offices is very unsatisfactory. It is not necessary here to quote figures they are available to the Commissioners. In fact, a casual inspection tour of this building will
had engaged with "Buddy" and "Tommy" was interrupted by the disturbance between the two older boys. Young Jones, he said, called to him and asked him to hold a package he had just gotten from a nearby grocery store. No sooner had the package been taken than the older of the two charged on the other lad and knocked him down.
Claim Robbery
The little fellow also stated that he saw a man trying to take something from the pocket of Jones while the youngster was engaged in the tussle with Hooker. It was on this last statement that Attorneys Wilson and Derricotte, counsel for the accused, indicated they would base their defense. Their contention is that the stabbing was the result of an endeavor on the part of Hooker and the man to rob Jones.
In his statement to Detective Sergeant John C. Dalgall of the homicide squad, the arrested boy declared the Thursday night altercation was the climax of a series of fights with Hooker. He asserted that the older boy had made several attempts to rob him of money that was known to have been in his possession as errand-boy and helper for his mother and as a newsboy. Jone's mother conducts a boarding house and fish business.
Fell on Knife
According to the lad, he was attacked as he left the grocery store with a quantity of lard. During the ensuing fight he was knocked down by Hooker who fell on him. The pen-knife, he declared, stuck into the leg of Hooker as he fell on top of him.
Freedmen's Hospital physicians testified that Hooker died from loss of blood.
indicate how completely Negroes have been eliminated from employment above the grade of messenger. Since Negro tax payers provide no inconsiderable part of the tax revenue of this city, they are entitled to share in employment opportunities provided by this government.
"The District of Columbia provides a splendid school system for the training of all children including colored children. These colored children are entitled to an opportunity to earn a living at the level to which they have been educated. Refusing that opportunity reacts to the detriment of the community in many ways."
Dodging Charged
Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls and nationally known writer, club leader and author, stated that "the commissioners should set an example" in the matter of fair dealing with all of the citizens of the District. She also stated that "there has been much coding" on the part of the commissioners in meeting the issue, but the time had come to use common sense for the good of the entire community." H. D. Woodson, president of the National Builders' Association, outlined how members of the Negro race who were skilled mechanics had been barred from public jobs here and many were forced to sign as laborers on CWA projects because there was no place where skilled Negro workers could register. Only the building on John Marshall Place was registering colored and all from that address were listed as unskilled laborers.
Asks for Bids
Mr. Woodson also urged that major operations in schools should be made during vacation and not while schools are in progress and bids should be asked for many of the major repair jobs. Following the hearing the commissioners took the matter under advisement and stated that they would give their decision at a later date.
Committee Personell
Those on the Joint Citizens Committee and other interested persons follow:
Campbell C. Johnson, chairman; George W. Beasley, and the Rev, D. E. Wiseman, Federation of Civic Associations; Rev. R. A. Fairley and Rev. J. F.

Anti- Lynch Bill Is Called Constitutional
TUBERCULARS IN RACE CLASH
(Continued from page 1 ) colored men were compelled to pass the tables occupied by the white women. These latter objected and cast uncomplimentary remarks at the men as they filed in for the Monday evening meal. Instead of taking their seats the men replaced their bowls and marched from the dining room in a body.
It was also indicated during the conversation with the hospital spoken man that there were certain white patients who didn't like the idea of the colored inmates occupying tables next to windows. This happened to be the case after the tables had been shuffled about.
No trouble has been experienced since Dr. Peabody inspected the dining room after the Monday walk-out and suggested changes that proved satisfactory to both races.
LYNCH THREAT
IN JACKSONVILLE
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., (ANP)
—This city had a common provocation to lynching a few days ago when Charlie Curvin, a bellhop at the largest hotel in the city shot and instantly killed J. J. Williams, a member of the city fire department.
It was around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. Curvin was driving home from a party. There was a fire along the route to Curvin's home and a fire hose was stretched across the street. The fireman stepped out in the dark with a flashlight to give notice to the approaching car of the presence of tre hose.
Curvin mistook the fireman for a holdup man and shot him, then drove on home and went to bed. In a few minutes the officers were there and after beating Curvin took him to jail. Rumors of a lynching spread over the city provocation.
Prominent citizens, white and colored, got busy with the sheriff's office and received assurances that there would be no trouble anywhere in Duval county then on thereafter.

There was no lynching.

festation and in its consequence it is not only of grave concern to the individual states, but an imminent peril to the nations as a whole."
Nation Should Defend Self
The introduction to the legal argument continues
"The time, therefore, has come when the nation should defend against this national evil which has assumed colossal proportions. Whatever our views of state rights may be, we must recognize that, under present day conditions, in the solution of national questions state boundaries are becoming less distinct. . . More and more the national resources are called upon for the making of local improvements within the several states and for the relief of their population from economic and physical distress. Hardly, then, does it seem fitting that where the national government is, on the solicitation of state and local communities, making ever increasing investment among them, they should deny to the national government an interest and voice in preventing in their own midst recurrences of mob insurrection which destroy the security of the national investment and which underline the strength of the national credit and of the national institutions.
No Constitutional Bar
"Surely nothing in our national Constitution prevents our national government from undertaking such an act of self-preservation and from protecting itself against the consequences of the break down of due process of law through state inaction or ineffectiveness, and of wholesale discrimination in the protection of the laws through the tyrannies of mob rule.
"The power thus to protect the nation against internal national dangers of this character were expressly conferred upon Congress by the United States Constitution."
The brief then cites many decisions of the United States supreme court in support of constitutionality of the Costigan-Wagner bill. It closes with a citation of the opinion of the supreme court in Ex Parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, (p. 395):
"We hold it to be an incontrovertible principle, that the government of the United States may, through its official agents, execute on every foot of American soil the powers and functions that belong to it."
The national office of the N.A.A.A.C.P. has sent a copy of the brief to every member of the Senate judiciary committee urging prompt and favorable report of the bill out to the floor of the senate. All branches of the N.A.A.C.P. and all organizations and individuals supporting the federal anti-lynching law are urged to write members of the judiciary committee asking them to vote the bill out favorably and to support it on the floor. Their address is Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. The members of the committee are: Senator Henry F. Ashurst, Arizona, chairman: William H. King, Utah; Hubert D. Stephens, Mississippi; Clarence C. Dill, Washington; Hugo L. Black, Alabama; Matthew M. Neey, West Virginia; Huey P. Long, Louisiana; Frederick Van Nuys, Indiana; Pat McCarran, Nevada; M. M.

Savory, chairman of the board, presented the report for the company, Dr. Savory says, "It is not necessary at this time to recount the various experiences that we passed through until we finally attained the status of a mutual company. One factor however, stands forth in bold relief, thats, the unusual specacle of Negroes united, not only to save what they could of their investments as well as to provide the perfection in its entirety of the abuse upon themselves, but more opecially to threaten an induscious attempt to shelter, such small confidence as our people retain in ourselves after our elementable loss of the old Victory Company.
"On account of this unusual and uncontainable spectacle, some of us unpared no pain to rid in the rehabilitation of this company, for we heartily believe that hand in hand, with a rehabilitated company, we can gain the rehabilitated faith of our people."

"Our premium income for the same, did not was $75,742,622, not including deposits on applications, which are subject to refund. Interest on mortgages, bonds, loans, policy lists, bills, etc., total $24,847. The total income from premiums, interest, rents, etc., was $102,584. Our campus is $46,500. Our assets total $648,233."
The officers and directors selected were:
Dr. P. M. H. Savory, of New York, chairman of the board; Dr. L. K. Williams, Chicago, president; Dr. C. B.

WOMAN INJURED IN TAXI CRASH
Forty-three Others Given Emergency Treatment at Freedmen's Hospital
---
When the taxicab in which she was riding was struck by a Diamond Cab at the intersection of New Jersey and New York Avenue last Sunday morning, Mrs. Mary Magee, 37, of 1316 S Street, Northwest, received serious injuries to her face and forehead.
Mrs. Magee was being driven south on New Jersey Avenue when the cab collided with another driver by George J. Dacey, of 918 East Jefferson Avenue, East Riverside, Maryland. The impact of the collision threw her forward from the seat of the cab, causing the injuries.
Suffered Shock
Carried to Freedman's Hospital she was treated by Dr. H. A. McPhearson, of the emergency staff of that institution, for contusions of the frontal region of the scalp and possible concussion. She was later sent home to recover from the nervous shock of the accident.

Pete Moss Orchestra Makes Rapid Strides
After finishing a successful tour of Virginia, Pete Moss and his Ambassadors furnished the music for the spring dance of the Cossacks, held at the Murray Palace Casino Wednesday night, April 4. So pleased were the patrons there that the band was immediately booked to play for the exclusive Twenty-Five Club dance, which will be held at the same hall on April 17.
In the brief span of its existence, a little more than one year, the band has played for many exclusive white fraternities which never used sepia music before, and in addition has been heard over WMAL and WOL, local radio stations.
It boasts several of the most outstanding young musicians in the Eart.

BALTIMORE.—The Morgan College Choral Club was presented as a special feature on the program sponsored by the Socialists party commemorating the 17th anniversary of the United States' entrance in the World War at the Lyric Theatre on April 6.
A
Mr. Chols
Let's head the old column with the most brilliant social affair held this season and it's none other than the brand new club with brand new ideas known as the Twenty Fifth Club. The affair was formal and it promises to be something that those who were lucky enough to receive invitations will look forward to for the coming season. Not enough space to describe the beautiful gowns and gals but, real, you should have been there. The lyrics were furnished by none other than Pete Mozes's Ambbassadors, and that boy did play.
The club members are: Albert Sterling, Stanley Howard, Stephen Williams, Walter Taylor, John Taylor, Carroll Williams, Leon Herbin, Russell Jackson, Louis Marshall, Walter Barnes, Leroy Bowman, William Davis, Edward Medley, Joseph Prielau, Robert Rhea, Kenneth Custer, Everett Diggs, James Fields, and Ambrose Boyd.
What kind of a hand did that dear boy have that smacked Baseball? His eye is black and his jaw is swollen and his teeth are lose.
The other important news is that Katie, of LaPetite, was at the Bachelor Benedict's prom and the good-Brice carried her. And would you believe me, they tried to high hat Mr. Chols.
Went to the Luncheonette and saw Fess Daniels admiring some bright colors and I asked him what was his favorite color, and he hollered out loud, yellow as if I did not know that.
This, dear Reader, is sure signs of spring. Saw Paint-bucket on U Street. Said he had been down in Florida all winter. Well, I know he has been away all winter, but I have my doubts about Florida.
The Aristocrats wish to announce their formal dance on Wednesday night, April 18th, at Murray Casino.
Believe it or not but this is not a joke, but the honest truth. Met George Lee strolling along U Street on his way to the Spring prom of the London Sports held at Murray's. Said he had not attended a dance for about a week and was afraid he might get tic. He likes to malle about three dances a week. And this Mr. George Lee folks, is seventy-three years old and has every tooth he was born with, and he tells me that he never used any kind of tooth paste up to the present time but simply uses the soap that he washes his face with, and his teeth are beautiful. He has not lost but three days from work in ten years. Here's hoping he will last as many more years.
Mr. and Mrs. I. Marshall spent a great time dancing together, Old Man Marshall said he was giving storm and strife a break, but the Mrs. said different, and Chols believes her.
Bill Hester, of the Bluebirds, rays you cannot serve two master—and Sweetstakes am a bad master. So his advice is if Sweetstakes interferes with your music, then give up your music.
Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Collins had a lovely time. Only Old Man Collins must have thought the dance was being held in the refreshment room.

The store is located in the heart of Northwest Washington's colored section. At 1814 Seventh Street, the store is one short block from U Street and Florida Avenue and less than that distance from Seventh and T Streets, a transfer junction passed by many Northeast residents on their way to their homes.
SCOTTBORO BOY TELLS OF JAIL TORTURE
SCOTTBORO BOY TELLS OF JAIL TORTURE
NEW YORK (LLD.)—How the Scottsboro boys are being tortured in Jefferson County Jail, Birmingham, Alabama, is described in a letter just received by William L. Patterson, national secretary, International Labor Defense, from Olen Montgomery. Five of the boys have been held in solitary confinement for three weeks.
"I received today a dollar which I accented and highly appreciated," Montgomery writes from the cell where he is held in solitary confinement, "but I did not get a letter from you, but I am sure you sent one to cach of us. They take the
letters out of the envelopes.
"Listen, Mr. Patterson. They have got all of us locked up in a cell and say they are going to keep us locked up as long as we stay here. These people here don't like us. They hates us. I will just be frank. It's absolutely hell for one in our condition to be treated such a way without a cause.
"These dam people won't let us do dam. (He refers to the frame-up and solitary confinement of five of the boys following a provocation by a Negro stool-pigeon who was planted among them by the warden.) We want to act right in this jail but they won't let us. These people don't believe in a dam but framing and mistreating a poor Negro in this jail, and I am dam tired of it. They framed me into this, and they are trying to kill me. "They don't feed me enough to eat. That's why I am locked up in this cell. They wouldn't give me nothing to eat and I raised some hell."
The LLL. has called on all persons and organizations who oppose the legal lynching of the Scottsboro boys to protest against their mis-treatment in jail. Protests should be sent to Governor B. M. Miller, and the State Supreme Court, Montgomery, Ala., and to Warden Erwin, of Jefferson-County Jail, Birmingham, Ala.

The Virgin Islands Civic Association went on record at its meeting last week as unalterably opposed to the commission named by President Roosevelt for the rehabilitation program in the islands on the grounds that it does not include one single Virgin Islander despite the fact that there are 5,000 or more to be found in Harlem, according to Mrs. Juanita Trigue Gallwey, executive secretary of the association.
The meeting was held at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Poters where several hundred were turned away due to a packed house, states Mrs. Gallwey, Members of the commission named by the President are: Alfred K Stern, George Foster Peabody, Charles W. Tausig, Miss Joanna Colcord all white, and Walter White and Mordecai Johnson, Negroes.
The Virgin Islanders are not opposed to any of the members on the commission but contend that since the problems of the Virgin Islands are basically labor and economic and that there exists in the islands a sharp line of demarkation between the broad laboring

Bridge Team Selected To Combat Baltimore
The Capital Contract Club selected its team last Saturday night that will journey to Baltimore for the return match with the Nicholson Card Club of that city. The team will be composed of six pairs or twelve players, most of whom had engaged in the previous match with the Baltimore club. The pairs were selected as follows: Caesar E. Barron and Earl Alexander; John W. Cromwell and William A. Reid; Dr. R. Frank Jones and Dr. Walter Garvin; Victor R. Daly and Dr. Henry W. Freeman; Dr. Peter D. Johnson and Homer Saunders; Kermit Ross and Oliver B. Cassell. Judge James A. Cobb, Thornton Taylor and Joseph H. B. Evans will accompany the team as alternates and scorers.
Last Saturday night a shift in the schedule brought together only four teams in the Round Robin team-of-four match that is being played for club honors. Both of these matches turned out to be upsets. The previously undefeated four captained by Dr. Robert B. Pearson, was handily trounced by the combination consisting of Elliot West, J. Saxon Burns, Albion Edmondston and Thornton Taylor by a margin of 1860 points. The rest of Dr. Pearson's team is composed of Dr. H. W. Freeman, Victor R. Daly and C. W. Alexander. In the other match, John W. Cromwell, W. A. Reid, Dr. Peter D. Johnson and Joseph Williams were unexpectedly defeated by H. J. Sewell, Harry Honesty, St. Clair Price and Leon Jones, substituting for J. M. Barron. The margin of victory in this match was 1130 points.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 12. 1934
PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Have you seen the Judge and all the near-Judges in the Lunch-concrete window at Tenth and U Streets? Interesting picture, isn't it? And what a swell "Brain Trust" that bunch would make! Speaking of photographs, that's a lovely one of Miss Louise Burga in a window of Scurlock's Studio. But it's really an absolute shame that the popular contralto singer didn't have a full length picture taken so that every inch of that gorgeous white gown could be seen.
Just when we though Mrs. John Hopa was headed for Atlanta she was only visiting kind friends in New York. And last week found her back in D.C. still the center of much attraction. One of the interesting affairs her charming presence helped to grace was an afternoon bridge luncheon with the gracious Mrs. Theodore B. Gordon (°), of 1008 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, as hostess.
Have you noticed the broad smiles the Robert Holleys, of 2651 Fifteenth Street are wearing these days? The reason is this: The baseball season is here and they are looking far ahead (into October to be exact). They are visualizing world series' days when their friends, the well-known Bellengers (Mr. and Mrs.) will be coming this way. For it's really a foregone conclusion that if it's a world series-game you'll find the Texas "Bellengers" here. Of course most of us are "rooting" for Cronin's crew (have already worked on a pennant complex).The Bellenger's devotion is divided though. With them it's either Washington or gay New York. But if a series game is played in Timbucto the Bellengers will be there. And what's more they'll run right straight to Washington and pick up "Handsome Holley" and his charming little wife.
Smart Washingtonians are really in a "picke' this week. You see Friday is the 13th (and a very lucky 13th too.) Because it is not only the evening of the long-looked-foe fashion show sponsored by the New Negro Alliance at the Colonnade, but it's the time for all and Chi Delta Mu's to assemble at the Masonic Temple. The thing that's puzzling society is this: Not "which of the big affairs had better attend" (they've decided already they'll have to see both), but "how many hours shall I give to the fashion show and how many to the Chi Delta Mu?" Now please won't some lightning calculator hurry up and make a schedule that will show ~beildered "Washington" just how to searate its hours so it won't miss a single feature of the Bi~Alliance Show and yet see all the Chi Delta Mu's?
Too bad Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Murman, Easter guests of the popular Brookland Tates (Mr. and Mrs. Walter) had such a short time in the city. Otherwise you might have had a chance to observe some of the Lynchburg brand of contract bridge. And the way Mrs. Murman can play! Why, they do say that with a partner like Dr. Pearson or maybe Mrs. Barron, the Culbertsonts themselves sit up and take a little notice.
Since time immemorial love-sick swains have been saying it with flowers, with candy and with "best selves" from the book-shelves, etc. Now we hear of a lot of locomotive engineers who are saying it with train whistles. Far into the night and on into the "wee, small hours of the morning" two shrill shrieks from a freight train whistle tell some walking beauty "Meet me darling at 2 p.m. at ____," but three loud shouts say "Sorry, dear, can't see you tonight." Quite romantic, it seems to me. But not so say the neighbors. You see if only the wide-awake ones heard the whistling, it wouldn't be so bad. But all the "sleeping beauties" and their mammals, and papas and brothers too are roused from their peaceful slumbers by the "Oh, how much I love you's" of the whistling engineers. But please if you're one of the irate neighbors, give Love's "young dream" a chance (even let the old dream have its fling- for this is "Spring."

car with a bit of that "Atlanta air" rushing into Washington you'll know that it was probably bringing Mrs. Joseph Douglass of Eleventh Street, and her son or maybe Mrs. Samuel Milton and her daughter, Muriel, back to the Capital City. Mrs. Douglas is really at home in Atlanta. And as for the Milton's, with young Dr. Lorimer (son of the Samuel Milton) living there, and with his friends and their friends, no Milton could possibly spend a dull minute if they stayed in Atlanta a year instead of a week.

Please don't disturb the Turner girl (Vivian I mean) if you find her some place talking in an animated tone to Fairfax Greene Claudia Whaley, Edna McLeen, Edith Lee, Katrina Mann, Mary Thornton, Annie Todd, Mary Howard, Alise Barrett, Anna Mayo, Ruth Armstead, Viola Smith and Estelle Coffey Young. For that very same Turner girl and the dozen ladies are getting ready to spring a grand lot of "Odds and Ends" on your next Tuesday night at the Colonnade. And don't let the date escape you. For if what you can hear is true (and I haven't a doubt about it) there'll be as many "Stars" as ever you'd in Hollywood; there'll be midgets, a marriage, and a real magician. There'll be Theodore Brockton whistling, and Gwendolyn Belasco dancing. Really and truly if they go through with that show as per scheduled, you'll come away saying "what's the use of bothering about the Follies if we can see an Odds and Ends Revue."

Sisters Featured in New York Recital
The Montgomery sisters, Margaret and Alma, students at Dunbar High School and Terrell Junior High School, respectively, were featured in a recital last Tuesday in Little Mt. Zion Baptist Church, New York City.
Margaret sang her way into the hearts of her hearers as she held them spellbound with her bell-like tones and clear enunciation of her words. Though a girl of only 15 her voice is more like a trained artist than one would expect in a child's voice. She carried her audience, as she sang her various groups which included numbers in French, opera and spirituals. When she sang her last number the house responded with a thunderous applause and refused to go until she sang again.
Alma, a girl] of 12, played on the piano in the same masterful manner that her sister sang. She demonstrated her ability both as a soloist and an accompanist. In some of her numbers she brought fourth applause from her hearers even before she had finished as she would play through difficult passages with ease. While all of her work was of a superb nature, the skill displayed in accompanying her sister in the selection from Samsou and Delilah was creditable.

Five Leading Clubs Furnish Week's Frolics
Easter week of 1934 passes into the realm of the past even though pleasant, memories and associations are crowded together when one thinks of the many activities, the congenial gatherings, good music and pleasant surroundings which greeted you on all sides during the past week.
The Derby on last Wednesday evening at Masonic Temple was well attended. The hall was beautifully decorated and the old "Derby," electrically lighted, hung from the ceiling over the orchestra. Sparkling Easter bunnies adorned the several posts in the hall and made a most fitting side decoration which harmonized perfectly with the gorgeous center imitation fountain in the center of the hall, over which a garden trellis soared covered with spring flowers.
On Thursday evening, "at the stroke of ten," a gay group assembled at Masonic Temple when the Pals of Pleasure held their formal.
The Bachelor-Benedic dance on Friday night was well attended. The open dance seems to be growing in popularity as evidenced by the pleasant and joyous faces of guests present. Many out-of-town guests were present and added to the evening's enjoyment.
The two stellar attractions for the week are the Chi Delta Mu dance, Friday evening, at the Masonic, and the "Bal Vogue" at the Colonnade. I am not saying another word about either this week other than "See you there." The "Bal Vogue" can't be missed and the Chi Delta Mu has a magnet which you cannot resist—therefore the only thing to do is to attend both affairs.
Invitations have been issued for the spring dance of the South Carolina Club at the Lincoln Colonnade, Thursday evening, April 19. The affair is semi-formal.
Of course April 17 must not be forgotten. The "Odds and Ends Revue" at the Colonnade. Nearly one hundred persons are taking part. Don't miss seeing this array of pretty and talented artists.
Next month brings the What Good Are We? dance. Already costumes are being talked of and planned. Each year's offering generally surpasses the last. What will be the prevailing style of costume this year? "Tis difficult to tell. However, be on the watch out—your costume must be ultra.

SAYS WASHINGTON IS CHALLENGE TO A WARRING WORLD
SAYS WASHINGTON IS CHALLENGE TO A WARRING WORLD
Founder of Tuskegee School Hailed as "Apostle of Co-operation"
TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The life of Booker T. Washington, as an "apostle of self-determination and co-operation." holds invaluable lessons to the world today, torn by national, racial, and class conflict, according to Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Helps-Stokes Fund, delivering here Monday the Founder's Day address of Tuskegee Institute.
"Nowhere in history," said Dr. Jones, "is there a more convincing demonstration of the possibility of reconciling group welfare and intergroup co-operation than in the achievements of Dr. Washington."
Speaking before an audience of 2,000 students, faculty, and friends of the institution, Dr. Jones said in part:
"In today's world nationalism is rampant, internationalism a vanishing dream. Communism, fascism, capitalism, and racialism are at war within the nations. We need profoundly to realize what Dr. Washington clearly saw, that only through co-operation with others is it possible for individuals, groups, and nations to achieve security and progress. Believing in people he believed that selfish exploitation could be superseded by co-operation and mutual welfare and that everybody would benefit by the change. The soundness of this confidence was abundantly demonstrated by his success in promoting the self-realization of his own people through co-operation with the majority group among whom they lived.
"These were his two objectives. No man surpassed him in the courage and the wisdom with which he struggled that Negroes might achieve fuller material, intellectual, and spiritual life. The success of his efforts was amazing, not only through the founding of a great educational institution, but through his influence upon the total life and ideals of his people."

Health and Beauty Hints
By MISS MAUDE FARLEY of PATSY'S BEAUTY SHOP
Stimulate the Scalp
Scalp and hair health consists of regular conditioning treatments for a beautiful head of hair. My advice for securing a healthy head of hair is thorough brushing and massaging of the scalp. Never wait until the hair falls out and gets dry and brittle to rush to the hair dresser.
To keep the system well toned use light oils or scalp cream. Heavy creams have a tendency to clog the glands of the scalp, then the hair becomes dry and lifeless. See your hairdresser at least twice a month to insure a beautiful head of hair, which is every woman's glory.
Particularly at this time of the year, after the hair has been exposed to harsh winter winds, heat some olive oil with a little salt in it, and apply to the scalp with a swab of cotton. Massage for ten minutes, then brush vigorously until the scalp burns. This will restore the natural oils to the hair that the heat from marceling has destroyed.
Facials
The spring of the year is an excellent time to work on your complexion. Harsh winter winds and lack of exercise and sunlight take their toll of every woman's complexion. A series of spring facials or packs will restore cleanness and freshness to your skin and supple the muscles and tissues in your face and neck.
This should appeal greatly to every woman. If you are the nervous tying or have had a strenuous day in the office, shopping or at home, you need the relaxation of a rest facial treatment.
On the other hand, if getting your facial before starting on a shopping tour, bridge party, or evening affair you do not want to be left with that sleepy unrelaxed feeling. One wants a facial that will be invigorating, one that will pop you up and make your eyes clear and sparkling.
The face is first cleansed with a liquifying cream, next cover the face and neck with a rich tissue cream, using the rotary movements. Always be completely relaxed. Series of facials and packs are given at the Petsy Shop.
GIRLS RELEASED IN MAN'S DEATH
GIRLS RELEASED IN MAN'S DEATH
Two girls, Billie Johnson and Irene Cooper, both of 429 Third Street, Southwest, were absolved of any connection with the death of Vernon Presgrave, white, of 116 Twelfth Street, Northeast, at an inquest which was held in the Morgue Tuesday. The two girls had been detained by Women's Bureau officers after information had been given relative to the association of the two girls with Presgrave and his two white companions the night of the former's disappearance.
Testimony was to the effect that the man and his two friends had gone to the Third Street house together, had left there together, and later returned. But on returning, Presgrave had left the other two before the party reached the house. No connections was made between the man's disappearance as a drowning victim and the visits to the home of the girls.
They were represented by At torney Perry W. Howard.

This is the fifth of a series of articles on Washington women in business. The sixth will be published next week.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
"Can you get me a job?" is the question asked almost daily at the information desk of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Often it is a young girl just out of school (or of that age) with no special training to qualify her for any particular kind of work. With the hope of inspiring our young girls to prepare for something more than "a job" attention is called to some women are in business.

service a necessity rather than a luxury. The dentist, the physician and the nurse, must have clean, well-kneed hands free from hangnails and roughness. Nails with black rims are not the proper sign of mourning, but an advertisement of uncleanly habits. One large department store of Washington requires its employees, even the elevator operators, to have well manicured hands. Any girl with pleasing manner, clean habits and a little capital could make a success of manicuring.
WIN CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT IN OHIO
TOLEDO, Ohio, (ANP) -Hilda Grunke (white) manager of Link's cafe, Madison and Humm Street's was tried in the municipal court for violation of the Civil Rights act, found guilty and fined fifty dollars, and costs by Judge Lee N. Murlin.
The discrimination upon which the case was based occurred on February 9, 1934, when Miss Rachel Gooden, Mrs. Frances Wade and Miss Floretta Carrington, all employed by the Social Service Federation of Toledo, were led to an obscure part of the restaurant and a screen placed around their table after they had begun to eat. Judge Murlin found that the employees were acting under the instruction of the manager who stated that complaints had been made to her by whits who objected to the presence of colored people in the cafe. He stated that the Ohio Civil Rights act is violated whenever any acts are done or words spoken to humiliate, embarrass or discourage a citizen, because of race or color, from enjoying the equal facilities and accommodations that are accorded to white persons in those public places which are enumerated in the statute.
William T. McKnight, 2d, prosecuted the case on behalf of the state.

In his petition Ray named Harry Brown, 1802 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, as co-respondent and claimed his wife visited Brown at his home on several occasions. The couple was married April 22, 1920. Ray was reelected by Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins.

ROBERT L. VANN, POLITI
Robert L. Vann is the man who received a under the New Deal. He is the Special Assistant, the "special" meaning among other things is $5,200 per year. He has a one-room office Department of Justice. A young white man, secretary.
His work is the general work of the office assigned to him. The cases he handles have to date he has made a splendid record, and best lawyer in the office, he has a chance to make during his term in office.
Forty odd yers ago Bob Vann began life, people being poor he was actually plowing a rise from an infant ploughboy to Assistant sounds like an Horatio Alger story, and Vann high position to which his ambition has driven.
This personal ambition is both the strong Vann. Through the strength of it he has race success. But it is a selfish ambition that abuses race leader.
Vann is not a race leader, or rather, he is is little question as to what direction he can or not. Good-looking, a little below medium height and an Indian complexion, one is immediate intelligence of Bob Vann. He talks forcibly, though you might change your mind after leasing the typical air of a politician. He is a "things for his political friends and for Vann, with and is a "good fellow." He knows how wants you to know and no more. He is shrewd.
He is not well liked. Those who know his portmanteur." He has illusions that he is the that ever came along, but likes to play a lone hood. Vann gets his political power through a Democratic committeeman of Pennsylvania (burgh). He is Guffey's man and rises or falls. He is also close to Benedum a rich man of poured lots of money into the coffers of the Benedum were both Republicans a few switched to the Democratic party, and so did Vann became a Democrat largely because were not satisfied by the Republicans. He was Assistant to the Attorney General under the fessed ambition of his life was frustrated with white Hooverites went back on the promises that Vann had played the end against the Republican payroll during the campaign, but he Courrier, received money from the Democrats, though Vann's defense was that the paper to Democratic advertisements as a matter of busi the patronage picture.
So the step to the Democratic party was assurance that under a Democratic administration height of his ambition, Vann became an archel Statement that "Three Million Negroes had Abraham Lincoln to the wall" is credited by being the master stroke of the campaign.
He became one of the "Big Four" of the quarters over the objection of some that he did background of the other three, Johnson, Rainey.
The Democrat's won. Vann got his job, to or had thrust upon him the job of being a Deal. He was elected to chairship of the Secretary of Commerce Roper. With G. David select this committee. When the Inter-department having to do with Negro affairs was organized in Advisor on Negro Affairs in the Interior Desk asked Mr. Vann to preside. He has the ear of New Dealers. But the tragedy is that Vann, race leader.
There are many bad things that Vann's but his character and usefulness as a race leader own words, spoken to me in various conversations.
1. As to his personal ambitions, unfavorable coupled with pure selfishness: "The ambition reach the top of my profession."
2. As to his trust-worthiness and ideas with Rainey, Thompkins and Johnson a plan for Negro Affairs Department in the Commerce Johnson (Big Four) Member of Negro Campaign plan was presented, but it did not seem to be helped endorse Eugene Kinkele Jones (friend apartment mate) for the job."
Dr. Johnson having left things in Vann's had not notified by Vann of any difficulties the first says now that he has never had an explanation.
3. As to his ideas of teamwork: "The camaconically spoken in answer to a query as to Four. The Big Four met in Washington se inauguration and laid plans for post-campaign.
4. As to his future: "I would be willing just sit on the sidelines and watch this New siastically spoken after a meeting of the Inter-berened address by Secretary of Commerce Redressing the group, the great majority of who had said that he judged a good adviser by his his thinking and in his sympathies so that per will receive benefit."
Because I think Mr. Vann is making and wishing to the Attorney General, I would not like to see but if he could just sit on the side-lines, in his New Deal work out—that would be a "consumed."

3. As to his ideas of teamwork: "The campaign is over, isn't it?", laconically spoken in answer to a query as to what became of the Big Four. The Big Four met in Washington several months after the inauguration and laid plans for post-campaign co-operation.
4. As to his futune: "I would be willing to resign my job and just sit on the sidelines and watch this New Deal work out," enthusiastically spoken after a meeting of the Inter-departmental group, had been addressed by Secretary of Commerce Roper. Mr. Roper in addressing the group, the great majority of whose members were white, had said that he judged a good adviser by his ability "to overflow in his thinking and in his sympathies so that persons outside his group will receive benefit."
Because I think Mr. Vann is making and will make a good Assistant to the Attorney General, I would not like to see him resign his position, but if he could just sit on the side-lines, in his office, and watch the New Deal work out—that would be a "consummation devoutly to be wished."

Only Colored Persons Are Searched When White Man Loses Suit
An investigation to find the author of an order which resulted in the searching of the lockers of colored employees only at the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils when a white man lost a suit of clothes last Tuesday failed to disclose the person responsible for the order when a reporter met with a series of buck passing and denials by various officials of the bureau.
According to information received by The Tribune a white employee of the bureau reported a suit of clothes missing from his locker. Despite the fact that more than twice as many white employees had lockers, on the same floor, only the colored were searched. The order to search colored lockers only was attributed to Miss Agnes M. Nordeman, white head of the bureau. When asked if she gave the order, Miss Nordeman refused to make a statement, but referred the reporter to Mr. Nelson, who is chief of operation. He denied it and passed the blame on to others. An attempt to reach Dr. W. W. Stockberger, director of personnel, failed when he was reported to be out.
YOUNG MUSICIAN HELD IN DEATH OF MAN, 42
Shooting Climaxes Argument in Front of Home of the Victim
Nathaniel Walker, 19-year-old confessed slayer of Henson Brooks, 42, who walked into the Second Precinct Police Station last Thursday morning and gave himself up while police were scouring the city for him, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury at a coroner's inquest last Friday morning.
Walker, according to the findings, fatally shot Brooks during an argument in front of the home of the latter at 1019 P Street, Northwest, last Wednesday night. Advised of his constitutional right, Walker refused to testify, asserting that what he had told headquarters detectives in his confession was complete and could not be added to.
Had Argument
Three witnesses corroborated in their versions of the affair. The two men had been in the home of Brooks along with several friends. An argument developed which ended in the pair leaving the house to settle the dispute. Miss Ruth Jackson, 1017 P Street Northwest; James Watts, 1538 Eighth Street, Northwest; and Christophine Dyer were three of the witnesses to take the stand. The latter, sister to Walker, is said to have turned the revolver with which the shooting was done over to Second Pregnict Policeman A. C. Thomas even before Walker gave himself up. Brooks, shot in the abdomen, was pronounced dead upon his arrival at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. E. G. Stewart.

ADAMS REFUSES TO COMMENT ON ENGINEERS' ROW
ADAMS REFUSES TO COMMENT ON ENGINEERS' ROW
H. R. Adams, engineer at Armstrong High School, refused to comment on recent charges that he would dismiss engineers if they become affiliated with a local of the International Union of Operation Engineers.
When seen at his home, 135 P Stret, Northwest, by a Tribune reporter, Mr. Adams stated that he had nothing to say.
The board of education has not taken action in the matter and Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools said the matter, if brought to the board would come through J. J. Crane, a school board official who handles such matters.
Mr. Adams is alleged to have warned engineers that they will be dismissed if they join the union. He is said to have ordered the retirement, of one engineer who joined the union and is contemplating the dismissal of others.
A resolution adopted last week by the union of white engineers protested against "unfair tactics resorted to by the administrative heads of public schools to inject discord into a progressive movement, designed for the efficient and economical operation and management of the public schools buildings of the District."
Bloomingdale Citizens to Demand New Traffic Light
The fight of the Bloomingdale Citizens' Association for a new traffic light, to be placed at the intersection of First and Florida Avenue, will not be relaxed, it was decided at a meeting of that body held in the Tabor Presbyterian Church, Second and S Streets, last Tuesday night.
The light, requested on a previous occasion, has not been erected as yet because, according to the Traffic Department, funds are not available at this time, for its purchase. A letter from the department stated that the intersection had been placed on its "preferred list," but that more than fifty other corners were ahead of it in preference.
The Association declined to make a record vote on the question of horse-and-dog-racing in the District, as an insufficient number of its members appeared to be interested in the measure.

Her theme was "The College Woman and Her Civic Responsibility." Miss Florence Read, president of Spellman, was also on the same program with Miss Slowe. "The Lures of Education" was the subject of her talk.
