SCHOOL HEAD KILLS ONE, COMMITS SUICIDE HAITI AND U.S. REACH AGREEMENT President Vincent Sails After Finishing Talks With Roosevelt An agreement whereby Haitian sovereignty will be increased without any lessening of America's guarantee of the Island's fiscal backing was the basis of a new financial groundwork for the Island laid when Stenio Vincent, its president, conferred with President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House this week. This much was made public yesterday through the medium of a joint communique, issued soon after the conclusion of the talks, speaking of the friendly and cordial manner in which the problems affecting the two nations were discussed, this message reiterated the intention of the United States to withdraw the marines from Haiti next October, as was agreed upon last August, and reported an exchange of views regarding the possibility of a commercial agreement which would increase the flow of goods between the two countries. Other measures discussed included plans for a new form of financial administration which will be satisfactory both to the governments involved and to the holders of the bonds of the Island, and for a further exchange of views upon subjects of mutual interest upon the "good neighbor" policy. What form the new financial arrangement with the Island will ake has not been definitely worked out as yet. However, it is generally admitted that it will take the form of an increase of Haitian sovereignty, stimulation of trade, and the adoption of the so-called "Leger Plan," which provides that the Bank of Haiti be invested with the powers now enjoyed by Sidney de la Rue, fiscal agent, in retiring the Island's indebtedness, now estimated at $11,000,000. President Vincent was accompanied on his trip to the capital by several Haitian officials and by Norman Armour, American minister to Haiti. He was entertained at luncheon at the White House Tuesday afternoon. Yesterday he was guest of honor at a luncheon of the Pan-American Union, later attending a reception tendered him by James Clement Dunn, special assistant to the secretary of state, and a dinner, given by Summer Welles, Assistant Secretary of State. He left the city last night for New York, from whence he will sail this afternoon for his home in Port au Prince. Officer Valentine Catches Robbers Entering House on Twelfth Street Officer R. W. Valentine, of No. 2 Precinct Station, caught two men this week while they were attempting to break into premises in the 2200 block of Twelfth Street, Northwest, last Thursday night. The men were held for the action of the grand jury when arraigned before Judge Ralph Given at a preliminary hearing. The defendants, Robert Paul, 33, and James Hebron, 40, both living in the 600 block of N Street, Northwest, have also been linked with eight other housebreaking cases, according to Policeman Valentine who arrested them. They were held under $5,000 bond each for the action of the grand jury. Arrested with them and charged with receiving stolen property, was Mary Marley, 21, of the same address. She was held under $300 bond for the grand jury. Officer W. F. Sager, of the same precinct, assisted Officer Valentine in investigating the series of robberies in the Northwest. Police Seek Slayer o. Man In "Number" Argument Headquarters homicide squad detectives are conducting a search for Jack Greenwood. 25 years old, of the 1700 block Eichhorn Street, Northwest, who is charged with the murder of James Smith, 2100 block Tenth Street, Northwest, on April 4. Greenwood was adjudged responsible for the fatal stabbing of Smith during an argument said to involve 55 cents. The money is reputed to have been the contributory cause of an altercation which followed a difference over the numbers game. A coroner's jury ordered Greenwood arrested and held for the action of the grand jury following an inquiry at the District Morgue, Wednesday. CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S.

HEADS TOLD OF COP BRUTALITY Commissioners Promise to Probe Shooting of Man in Back A protest against police terrorism was lodged with Commissers Allen and Hazen at the District Building last Friday by members of various groups representing churches and the International Labor Defense. Miss Gertrude Thrope, white, of the Langston Hughes Branch of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, headed the delegation and acted as spokesman. Youth Shot in Back ... Following the protest the commissioners asked that the protests be made in writing and they would then determine if the officers involved would be punished. The protests dealt mainly with the shooting last winter of Robert Lewis, 26-year-old youth, who was shot in the back by Officer Southard, of the First Precinct. The policeman was exonerated when he testified that the youth was rushing on him with a stick. Lewis was ill when he was shot in the back by the cop, it was said by the coroner who performed an autopsy on the body. Said Cop Was Bully The commissioners were told that Southard was a bully and had been terrorizing the neighborhood prior to the shooting. He is also said to have been instrumental in forcing a family to move from the G. Place address where the shooting occurred in order to keep them from testifying against him. "Can you defend yourself and shoot a man in the back six feet away from you?" the commissioners were asked by Miss Thorpe. "We hold you responsible. You are not carrying out justice. We want this cap's removal from the force, not transferred. We do not want him sent to terrorize other neighborhoods." Miss Thorpe stated. Commissioner Hazen promised to investigate the charges against the policeman and if they are substan REV. S. D.

Appropriation Bill for 1935 when the bill was reported to Congress by the House Committee on Appropriations last week, the Southwest Civic Association, which has been waging a vigorous campaign for new fire apparatus for Engine Companies No. 4 and 13 during the past six months, will seek a hearing with the Senate Committee on Appropriations in a final effort to have the item placed back in the bill in the Senate, it was announced this week, by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the association. The new apparatus had been argued by the D.C. Correspondents and the Budget Division.

The privilege of bringing the question to the floor for open discussion was won when the Illinois Representative succeeded in getting 145 signers to his petition demanding the open consideration. N. N. A. PICKETS SANITARY STORE Anacostia Branch Begins Boycott on Store in Negro Neighborhood Under the direction of the Anacostia branch of the New Negro Alliance pickets were posted in front of a Sanitary Grocery store on Nichols Avenue Monday morning. According to Dr. A. G. Smyer of Anacostia, co-captain of the branch, several attempts to get the management of the chain stores to employ colored clerks have failed. The store is located in an almost exclusive colored neighborhood with from 90 to 35 per cent colored trade, it was said. McKinley Taylor is administrator for the Anacostia branch. Despite the pouring down rain Monday the pickets braved the weather and began work at 7 a.m. Captain Marks, head of the Eleventh Precinct, is alleged to have expressed sympathy with the movement and stated he would not molest the pickets as long as they kept moving and a disturbance was not raised. According to Dr. Smyer, the store employs a manager and a meat cutter, both white He stated that there are several good colored meat cutters available and the picketing will continue until colored are hired in the store. The chain store manager stated that the two white men have been employed at the store for some time and he would have to discharge them if their places are taken by colored. At present his organization cannot absorb the extra help, it was said. JANITOR HELD ON STUDENTS' CHARGE Camp Jacobs, 61-year-old janitor at the Reno School, was suspended by the board of education Wednesday in connection with an alleged attack on two 14-year-old girls last week. The father of one of the girls swore out a warrant for the janitor and following a hearing before Judge Ralph Given in the U. S. Branch of the Police Court, Tuesday. Jacobs was ordered held for the action of the grand jury under $1,500 bond. Security was furnished by J. Walted Stewart, bondsman. Jacobs was held on a charge of improper conduct, and was represented by Attorney J. A. O'Shea, white. The alleged act was committed in the basement of the school, it was said. The aged man denied the charge. Price 5 Cents Copy NED W.H.C.BROWN ACCOSTED BY MAN J. O. Keys Also Visits Office of R. R. Horner and is Arrested W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the Industrial Savings Bank, was threatened with death when a man believed to be temporary insane walked into the bank, Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest, Monday, and demanded that Mr. Brown have the water turned on in the man's house. The man, John O. Kearn, 65 H Street, Northwest, a lawyer, then left the bank and went to the office of Attorney R. R. Horner in the Stewart Building. There he threatened Mr. Horner. He was arrested, and when brought before Judge Ralph Given in the U.S. Branch of the Police Court Tuesday, was ordered held for observation. According to a statement by Mr. Brown, he had employed the man some years ago to make several suits of clothes. Later he had helped him in one or two financial transactions. Keys owns his own home and lives over his shop at the Eighth Street address. At one time he was rated as one of the best tailors in the District and had a large patronage. It is believed that the man is religious fanatic and believed that Mr. Brown and Attorney Horner had done him some imaginary wrong. He appeared sane when he came into the bank, said Mr. Brown and at no time did he raise his voice. I.L.D. BLAMES PICKENS FOR TORTURE Say NAACP Secretary Is Trying to Undo Work of Liberals BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—A pact between the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Alabama lynchers was revealed last week as the immediate cause of the present intensified reign of terror against the Scottboro boys in Jefferson County jail. This charge was made by the International Labor Defense following an intensive investigation of the circumstances around the confinement of the boys in solitary cells during the past weeks. William Pickens, field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., visited the Scottsboro boys in the jail, to try to persuade them to renounce the LLD, and accept a lawyer of the association, four weeks ago, it was revealed. Failing in this effort, Pickens, who was accompanied by three white Birmingham "liberals" had a conference with prison authorities. Almost immediately the present reign of terror against the boys intensified, and they were thrown into solitary confinement. Deputy Warden Dan Rogers of the jail has openly told the boys that their present confinement in solitary cells will continue until they accept the "defense" of the N.A.A.C.P., they told a visitor who managed to get in to see them.

Hill, superintendent of the West Virginia School for Deaf and Blind at Institute, killed one faculty member, wounded three others and then shot and killed himself, Friday morning about 7:30 in the institution's dining hall. Hill opened fire as he concluded a brief talk before faculty members and 42 students. He had referred to an investigation of accounts made at the school by the state board of control and defended his honesty and saying whatever allegations were made against him were untrue. Shops Under Probe Following the shooting the board of control said that accounts of the tailor shop, shoe repair and barber shops operated by the school have been under investigation.

Delegates present hailed this conference as the first regional conference of its kind ever held, and as a constructive movement of first importance for education in the states represented.

Returns Indicate DePriest District Went Democratic in Close Illinois Primary Battle CHICAGO.—(ANP)—On the ashes of the political fires which raged in the first district of Illinois until the primary election last Tuesday there stood Wednesday morning a donkey. The animal which brayed, serving notice that it intends to do some kicking on its own accord before the elections in November was the symbol of the Democratic party. The First congressional district is represented at Washington by Oscar DePriest. Vote of 15.811 Nearly complete returns from Tuesday's primary gave Mr. DePriest, the Republican winner, and his Republican opponents for the nomination a combined vote of 15,811. Returns tabulated for Harry Baker, white, the Democratic winner, and his opponents in the Democratic primary, combined equaled 17,654 votes. These nearly complete returns show that there were 1,843 more Democratic votes for congressmen than there were Republican votes. DePriest Obstacle If the Democratic votes stay put in November, the 2,000 extra votes the Democratic party received Tuesday represent the obstacle between Mr. DePriest and re-election. They also show what the Democratic donkey was braying about Wednesday morning. Mr. DePriest's re-election, despite his fine record in Washington, also depends upon several other factors. In the primary just closed, his organization in the largest ward was split wide open by a factional fight between Alderman William L. Dawson of the Second ward and State Representative William E. King. Mr. Dawson sought Mr. King's position as committeeman from the Second ward. Soured on Congressman Mr. DePriest elected to side with Mr. Dawson, but Mr. King won. When the split occurred in January, the rank and file of the organization stuck by King. As long as Mr. DePriest played a hands-off policy and let the two men fight each other, King's followers made their fight on Dawson and supported DePriest. But when Mr. DePriest returned from Washin' on to throw his support to Dawson and denounce King, the latter's followers soured on DePriest. DePriest's tactics in the final days of the campaign caused violent eruption in the King camp. It was freely circulated that money matters were the bond of affection between DePriest and Dawson. Dawson Whipped King not only whipped Dawson for the committee post, but he beat PORTERS' LEADER TESTIFIES BEFORE COMMERC'L GROUP Asks Right of Organization for Poters, Maids, and Other Employees Testifying last week before the Senate Commerce Committee, now holding hearings on a bill to provide for the prompt disposition of disputes between carriers and their employees. A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, asked that the proposed bill be amended to provide for the inclusion of sleeping car porters and dining car employees, along with other classes of employees, under the jurisdiction of the National Adjustment Boards which will be set up under the act. Such an amendment, according to Mr. Randolph, will give the Pullman porters, maids, and dining car employees the same status under the act that other groups of workers, such as the Big Four Brotherhoods enjoy, and will enable them to utilize the entire machinery set up in the act for the settlement of disputes concerning the determination of the right of self-organization, rates of pay, and rules governing working conditions. Randolph vigorously attacked company unions in general and called the Pullman Employee Representation Plan one of the most vicious of all. He rebutted testimony given before the committee in favor of permitting the railroads to finance company unions, contending that the whole purpose of the bill would be defeated if companies are allowed to pay those who conduct such dummy unions. In relating the story of the struggle of the porters and maids to win the right to organize a union of their own, free from intimidation, coercion and interference, Mr. Randolph expressed his opinion as to the limitations and shortcomings of the Railway Labor Act, indicating that its lack of power and definiteness on the matter of allowing workers to select their own representatives rendered it quite ineffectual. the veteran Adelbert H. Roberts for his seat in the state senate. By winning both places he emerged as the next most powerful figure in Republican party politics to Mr. DePriest. Mr. King is now the boss of the ward which gives Mr. DePriest 80 per cent of his votes. The question is: Will he support Mr. DePriest with his whole soul and body in November or will there be party sabotage? To Support DePriest To Support Derriest Those who profess to know King best insist that despite Mr. DePriest's recent treatment of him, he will throw all power behind the congressman to win for the Republican party in November. They say that is the kind of man he is. But they are not so sure about his army of followers. The members of his organization have tasted blood. They are out for the kill. They want their general to turn them loose against the DePriest demon, to punish him. King is going to tell them no, but whether they'll obey him is a question. If they don't—if they refuse to vote in November, or if they vote for the Democratic candidate, DePriest will not be re-elected. Another Factor Another factor involves the contest for state senator. Bryant Hammond was nominated by the Democrats and will oppose King in November. Both Democrats and Republicans may elect to fight it out for both the senate position and that in congress. Then again, they may agree to trade. If the Democrats tell King that they will slow up the fight on him for the senate, King may agree with them that there is not so much virtue in putting all his strength behind DePriest. In other words, King probably would not sacrifice or jeopardize his election to the senate in order to assure the election of Mr. DePriest for congress, confident that the Republicans might recapture the position two years hence. Open for Attack Whatever happens, one can be certain that Dawson by his loss has laid himself open for attack. Aaron A. Payne, Emmett Scott's son-in-law is already being spoken as the Indian who is to scam Dawson for his position in the city council next year. Payne is one of the smartest campaigners in the party and was a tower of strength in King's late campaign to victory. PRAISE DePRIEST AS GROUP LEADER Congressman Assured of Sympathy and Backing By Local Council Commending Congressman Oscar DePriest on the quality of the work that he is doing in Congress and assuring him that he has the sympathy and backing of loyal Negroes everywhere, members of the Interdenominational Council of Ministers' Wives of Washington and Vicinity sent the Illinois representative a letter of encouragement this week. The letter, signed by Mrs. H. B. Taylor, president of the council, and Mrs. M. L. Russell, secretary, reads as follows: "Dear Mr. DePriest: "The officers and member of the Interdenominational Council of Ministers' Wives of Washington and Vicinity voted to send you this letter for the reasons following: "First. To inform you that we have been carefully and prayerfully following you in your career as the leading political representative of our group in this country, our own America, and that, in so doing we have found numerous reasons for rejoicing in your leadership. "Second. To especially commend you for the manly fight that you have so courageously waged, and are waging, to preserve the spiritual integrity of the foundational guarantees of our Constitution, in the face of the efforts of certain so-called 100 per cent Americans who, because of their grossly selfish, sectional, fanatical prejudices are daring to attempt to nullify those guarantees. "Third. To urge you to continue your warfare along all such lines, and compel all who would repudiate our Constitutional rights, either to acknowledge their ignorance of our Constitution, or to confess themselves to be traitors to the cause of protecting their fellow-citizens whose undeniable rights, under the Constitution, they were elected and are being paid to defend. And "Fourth. To assure you that, in our sympathies and prayers, we are with you, and all others who are battling for the right until either the bitter or gloriously victorious end. Respectfully yours, (Mrs.) H. B. Taylor, Pres. (Mrs.) M. L. Russell, Sec." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 19. 1934 MINER COLLEGE STUDENTSATTEND N.Y. CONFERENCE MINER COLLEGE STUDENTSATTEND N.Y. CONFERENCE Convention Frowns on National Organization of Fraternities Seven students represented Miner Teachers College at the ninth annual session of the Eastern-States Teachers College Conference which met April 13 and 14 at the Pennsylvania Hotel, in New York City. The delegates were Emery Hightower, president-elect of the student council; Charles Carter, president of the freshman class; Consuelo Jones, Sarah Lipscomb, Mansfield Neal, Sabrina Overton, and Ernestine Ricks. The delegates, five sent by the student council and two as representatives of the Student Life Committee, represented each of the four classes of the college. **Student Problems Discussed** President Eugene Clark, Mrs. Woodard, faculty representative, and Dr. L. F. Bate, head of the department of science, also attended the convention. The conference, organized to foster the discussion of student problems, met in four groups, each led by a student delegate. Each group discussed a different phase of college life. Among the topics were "The Youth Movement," discussed by representatives of Germany, of Italy, of Russia, and of America; "The Attitude of Students Towards Student Councils"; and "Sororities and Fraternities in Teachers' Colleges." U. of N.Y. System Favored Concerning sororities and fraternities the convention favored the system practiced by the Teachers College of the University of New York. There clubs are organized after the fashion of sororities and fraternities, but without participation in a national organization. It was pointed out that in this way the financial drain occasioned by a national organization is averted, and the student life is not distracted from the college. To Make Report In regard to the relationship between students and their student councils, it was stated in the convention that students should feel that the council is not in the nature of a police control set to watch them, but rather like a lawyer set up to act as their spokesman, and of the activities of the conference in assembly, Wednesday, April 18. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL APPROVED Although the Wagner-Costigan anti-lycching bill has been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and will be reported favorably this week, Democratic leaders are holding out little hope for its consideration on the floor of either house this session. Out of consideration for Congressman Oscar DePriest, who will be in Chicago until April 22, the hearing in the House of Representatives on the bill is postponed until after that date, the Tribune learned today. Approval of the measure by the committee was given by voice vote. It was passed by a large majority, in spite of the fact that several Congressmen voted against it, according to Chairman Ashurst, Jr. The bill levies fines up to $10,000 on counties where lynchings occur, makes it a felony for Federal officials to give up a prisoner to a mob, and provides penalties of $5,000 and imprisonment for five years of those guilty of lynching. It defines a "mob of riotous assemblage" as a group composed of "three or more persons acting in concert; without authority of law, for the purpose of depriving any person of his life, or doing him physical injury." Where a person was seized in one county and lynched in another, both counties will be held jointly liable to pay the penalty of ten thousand dollars. Miner College Teacher Recovering from Fall Miss Sadie Daniels, instructor in history at Miner Teachers' College, is convalescing rapily at her home on Kenyon Street. Miss Daniels suffered a fractured ankle on February 26 when she slipped and fell upon the ice. The plaster cast which had elevated the ankle since that time was removed last Wednesday by her attending physician. It is believed that Miss Daniels will be able to return to her duties at the college within the next few weeks. ISLANDERS ASK FOR NEW DEAL ISLANDERS ASK FOR NEW DEAL Request That Roosevelt Assist Trade in the West Indies NEW YORK CITY.—With more than a thousand persons jamming St. Marks Hall here and cheering numerous speakers who presented arguments as to why President Roosevelt should enlarge his Virgin Islands Company for the rehabilitation of the islands to include a native and some representative of labor, the Virgin Islanders staged a huge mass meeting here Sunday afternoon for the purpose of discussing plans for the betterment of their homeland. A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who acted as master of ceremonies, made it clear that the meeting was not called to oppose the naming of the President's Commission on the Virgin Islands Company, but it was merely to express the desire of the Virgin Islanders on the mainland and native Americans who represent labor especially, that such a commission is not complete until it includes a native and also someone who has an intimate knowledge of the socio-economic problems of the large masses who represent labor in the islands. Other speakers were the Rev William Lloyd Ives, Mrs. Elise Ayer, assistant principal of the public schools; James Liburd, of the Virgin Islands Mechanies Association; Hodge Kiron, lecturer; and Ashley L. Totten, president of the Virgin Islands Civic Association.

It is the only colored ecclesiastical group to take regular cognizance of the Passover festival. 300 Delegates Present Oven three hundred delegates from various parts of the country attended the Feast of the Lamb, which was held at the hall Friday midnight. A large number of these remained in the city for the rest of the week, attending the various sessions of the conven. The organization is unique in that everyone attending its meetings dresses in special costume designed for the occasion. The men wear brown English walking suits with brown bow ties, black shoes, and white gloves, and a black, three-cornered mortar cap, the corners represent the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. A cloth rosette bearing vari-colored trailers of symbolic meaning is worn in each lapel. The women wear sky-blue shirtwaists and dark brown skirts, with a brown tie fastened in a white collar. When singing they put on "top crowns" of brilliant red. Members greet each other with a kiss. Saturday is observed in the Church of God and Saints of Christ, as the Sabbath. Men and women desiring to join must go through a process which includes the admission of Christ through confession, baptism by immersion, the acceptance of the Lord's Supper, with water substituted for the usual wine, the washing of feet, and a special course of instruction in the Bible. The only code of the church is contained in the Ten Commandments. Compose Own Songs Services being held this week are devoted almost in their entirety to music and recitations rendered by the various groups of delegates. All songs sung in the church are composed by members of its various branches, and rehearsed at the convention until the entire group knows them by heart. No musical accompaniment is allowed, all harmony being furnished by the singers themselves, who sway, jump, and clasp their hands rhythmically to keep time. Bishops attending this week's sessions of the church include A. J. Dickerson, of Newark, New Jersey, who is presiding officer; J. E. Davis, of Cleveland and R. L. Connors, of Dayton, Ohio. Chief Evangelist J. W. Grant, of Exmore, Virginia, is master of ceremonies.

This is in keeping with Less Burroughs' determination to do the thing most needed, regardless of precedent. Her belief is not in what is done, provided what is done is needed and is honest, but in the character that goes into the job. A friend once said to her laughingly, "I'm going to start a new enterprise," and after outlining the venture added, "I suppose you think I'm crazy!" "I do not," came the prompt retort, "I wouldn't think you were crazy if you went out on the street corner and sold baked potatoes, provided they were extra good potatoes, well-done, and served hot!" In the last quarter of a century 2,000 girls directly trained by Nannie Burroughs have learned that lesson—so sound and so simple that in the rush for great things, too many miss it by. "It is the unique distinction of this school that it has taught the poorest people of America how to make a big thing out of the litters," said William Pickens twelve years ago. Today, Nannie Burroughs, product of Washington public schools, asks $6,000 to enable her to open in June the school out at Lincoln Heights where young women and old are taught to make big things out their little, according to the demand of the times.

Total, 98. 650,000 Membership These annual conferences are divided into what is styled presiding elder districts, with 876 presiding elders. Serving in these respective conferences are approximately 7,000 pastors in charge of local churches, with a membership of about 650,000 members. All of these 7,000 pastors are required to make annual reports to the annual conferences that meet once a year at a given place and time designated by the bishop and members of each annual conference unit. These reports are made on blank forms furnished by the conference, and, after being read in open conference, are filed with the secretary of the conference and become a part of the permanent records. In these reports each pastor gives details about the condition of his particular charge, station, circuit or mission; viz., numbers of full members, pupationers, converts and accessions; how much money has been raised by or within that particular charge for dollar money or general fund, missionary, education, church extension, book concern, Allen Endeavor League, Bible cause, Children's Day, etc., as general funds; and, locally, how much has been raised for salaries of presiding elder, the pastor; the stewards, trustees and all other purposes incident to the proper and successful management of his charge. In each of the annual conferences, there is a finance committee to which each report is submitted and all cash paid. This finance committee makes its summary of all money paid in; segregating the local from the general funds and submits its report to the full conference for approval. All local obligations are ordered paid and all general funds ordered sent to the respective general departments. The report of the general fund, or dollar money, is made out on a form furnished by the financial department indicating the distribution according to the law passed by the latest general conference as set forth in our Book of Discipline or Codified Laws.

WASHINGTON BLAMES BALLOU AND WILKINSON DR. WASHINGTON BLAMES BALLOU AND WILKINSON Board Orders Case Referred to Committee on Complaints and Appeals Claiming First Assistant Garnet C. Wilkinson and Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, had refused to hear his appeal as to low ratings given him, Dr. John E. Washington, teacher of drawing, Cardozo High School, appealed directly to the board of education for a hearing Wednesday in a letter to Dr. Hayden Johnson, president. Dr. Washington's letter to the board follows: "January 12, 1934 I wrote to Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson as follows: For several years I have received ratings of a grade lower than I was entitled to on my record. "I therefore request that consideration be given my ratings, and when this be done, I feel confident that you will feel required to change my rating: given since 1929 to at least 'excellent,' the grade uniformly received by me prior to 193C." Appeal was Refused Dr. Washington further states that Mr. Wilkinson declined to grant him a hearing, but Dr. Ballou gave him a hearing on March 2, this year, but would not consider the appeal. In defending his action Dr. Ballou stated to the board that he considered Dr. Washington ought to have made his protest earlier as the board would have to set a precedent if it would grant the appeal, since the ratings were given over a year ago. The superintendent also stated that the board ought to fix a time limit in which appeals from ratings shall be made. "Dr. Washington wants to review ratings of years ago, we have never done anything he proposes," Dr. Ballou stated. Henry Galligan, board member, stated that the appeal ought to be granted and Dr. Washington should be given a hearing regardless of 10 years. the length of time, even if it were. The board finally decided to turn the whole matter over to the Board of Complaints and Appeals for recommendation. It was intimated that the appeal would be granted. The board also received a communication from Local Unions 104 and 102 of the International Union of Operating Engineers of colored schools in which the unions joined in a protest against Chief Engineer H. R. Adams, of Armstrong High School, on his alleged intimidation of employees desiring to join the union. The statement was signed by the following engineers: Hilliard Berry and G. L. Minor, No. 104, and A. T. Green, Oswald Bartram and E. E. McQueeney, of Local 102. Claims He Wag Threatened The statement also enclosed an affidavit from Engineer Custodian J. N. Battle who was recently retired. Battle claimed that before he was retired he was approached by Adams and H. R. Mahoney, his assistant, and told that if he joined he would be retired. Following his retirement he claimed that the two engineers stated "I told you so." Dr. Ballou stated that he had investigated the protests against Adams and found that most of the allegations that he threatened engineers with dismissal if they joined were untrue. It was also pointed out by the superintendent (Continued on page 3) Dr. R. W. Brooks Named LeMoyne College Trustee The Rev. R. W.

C. Hueston, formerly judge of a city court of Gary, Ind., editor of the Eagle, commissioner of Education, and conductor of the national membership drive of this order states he plans to inaugurate a National Annual Friendship Week. According to Mr. Hueston the Negro is too indifferent to his fellow-kind. He states that "we individually are so wrapped up in ourselves that we burn out with PETER H. JUDGE W. C. HULSTON affection for self, and as a result have no additional capacity to have affection for or with which to love others. As a result, we have acquired an absolute indifference one toward the other. "This has become developed to the point that we have become completely calloused to the fate of all members of the race, not directly connected with our individual selves," he contends, "so that when we read that one or a dozen Negroes have been brutally lynched, burned at the stake, we read only the headlines and pass it by without any further thought, or concern about it; as a result we have become despised by others for the reason that no person, not even the oppressor, has any respect for anyone who will not contend even unto death for the protection of those who are persecuted because of race membership. . . . "Each Negro is most instances defines himself to be the race. If he is being mistreated, he squawks loudly and feels that every Negro should rush to his aid, sacrificing everything for his protection. But if some other Negro is suffering he refuses to contribute even a penny to afford succer to his misused race brother." He further states, "We should begin at once, in a well studied plan to deliberately learn to at least to like each other.

You have to choose a face powder carefully for an oily skin. You want one that will be least affected by the oil exuding from your pores. Some powders are slightly creamy or pasty; these are ideal for a dry, papery skin—that slightly pasty quality makes them stay on a dry skin beautifully. Other powders are dryly fluffy; these are a good choice for an oily skin on which a pasty powder would soon turn gummy.

Here is a short sample: Three summers passed. This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of NOT LESS than ten words; each word must contain at least one set of double letters. The main things to bear in mind are: each sentence must contain not less than ten words; each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, every word must contain double letters; do not use more than TWO proper names. Do not make two words of one word, such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word). Hyphenated words are permissable.

Alexandria 317-7 Night-School Closed The two night schools, one at the Parker-Gray School and the other at the Alexandria High School, which were opened January 9, closed Thursday night. The schools were conducted by the emergency educational program of the Federal government. They closed with an enrollment of 224 white and 115 colored pupils. The reason for the early closing, it was stated, was due to lack of funds to continue the work. There were six teachers and one director in the white school, and in the colored school were five teachers. Miss Lucille Shacklefow, Miss Hemietta McClough, Miss Ruth Gilliam, Frederick Rich, and Samuel W. Tucker, director. Considerable progress was made by those attending the classes, who expressed regret at the early closing.

Cobb, judge of the District Municipal Court, addressed members of the District Baptist Ministers' Conference at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Zonday afternoon. "We are living in a new and revolutionary age," Judge Cobb said. "Everything today is being changed. You ministers, as leaders, should be the guiding force in these changes. You should take upon yourselves the responsibilities of others, and help them to make the most of their lives." The Judge named good citizenship as another great responsibility, and pointed out the benefits which the Negro might derive from full exercise of his legal rights. "Let us say that we are going to do everything that the government of our country, through its laws, asks us to do," he concluded his address, "and in return let us demand that the government stand by us and uphold its promise to us.

Jubilant over a general improvement in business conditions the national leading theatre owners declared that a 65 per cent increase in theatre attendance had been noted in the last six months.

(ANP) — Two days before William Monroe Trotter, fearless race champion, either fell or jumped to his death from the roof of his home, the Rev. Thomas S. Heinten, Brooklyn, N.Y. Baptist minister, wrote Mr. Trotter the following letter to console him in his illness: "Hello, Pal! How are you? Like thousands of others, I presume you are a little overtaxed, having worked hard. You know there is only one Monroe Trotter; too bad you didn't have a dozen boys to take your place. Cheer up, old boy, I am praying for you, and there is a lot of work you are to do for the race. You are the greatest race champion since the day of Moses, the greatest our day has ever had. "Possibly it would be well for you to run down here at my expense for a week or so and spend the time with me so I can give you a good spanking every now and then; the change will do you good. Later on I want to get you to Hot Springs where you can get those bathes which will do you a great deal of good. This will entail some expense, of course, but I am willing to raise that whenever the two of us can see our way clear to go together." "Enclosed you will find a money order for $10.00. I wish it was ten thousand dollars. If I had money I would finance the paper myself for a few months and send you away." "Remember me to your sister, who so promptly notified me that you were not feeling so well, which caused me to send the enclosed money order immediately."

"What Is Education?" was the subject of Miss Slowe's address.

Youth possesses these ideals from birth. Education is that which must lead to their development." Other valuable thoughts were explained throughout the address.

Jesus answers the Rich Young Ruler. (Verse 16-22) The question asked by this young ruler was, what he should do to have Eternal Life. This ruler, knew, as well as all Israel that no person had immortality—enternal life. Thousands of the preachers, and workers in Christian work tell their hearers that every human being has a soul, that it is immortal, and does not die in spite of the fact that God says "The soul that sinneth shall die" (Ezek. 18:4), (Roman 6:23). But this young man knew that the Scriptures did not teach any such doctrine, and because he knew this he came to Jesus to find out how to could get enternal life. Jesus said to him, "If thou would enter into life, keep the Commandments." He asked Jesus, Which? In the 18 and 19 verses, Jesus answers him. He in return said all these things have I kept from my youth up, what lack I yet? In words this effect, Jesus told him he and a selfish Spirit, grasping after riches, storing them up for his own personal benefit, failing to notice the needs and sufferings of others, but he should sell out, give to those that were poor and sock the treasurers that come above, and follow Him. There is no indication that he obeyed, but it does say he went away sorrowful because he had great riches. 2. Jesus discourses on the love of riches. (Verses 23-26) Jesus, speaking to His disciples, said truly, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven (the church). Jesus does not say that a rich man cannot be saved but to become a member of his body, (the church) it would require sacrifice on his part, as especially the riches of this world would have a tendency to draw him away from giving his wholehearted service to Christ.

MOUNT LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH The Rev, Edgar Newton, pastor of the church, will officiate at both morning and evening services of the church next Sunday. The revival service that is being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Guess will be brought to a close tonight (Thursday.) CHAPEL QF THE ATONEMENT Services Sunday at the Chapel of the Atonement, Fifty-sixth 24th verse there comes a change in the speech of Jesus, from the Kingdom of Heaven to the Kingdom of God. Very few people notice that the kingdom of heaven, and the Kingdom of God are different. The Kingdom of Heaven here spoken of in the 23d verse is the Church, but the Kingdom of God in the 25th verse is the spirit realm where God rules and reigns, therefore Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to become a Spirit being and enter his Father's Kingdom, the same that Jesus said to Nicodemus, a man must be born of the water and of the Spirit and become a Spirit in order to enter the Spirit Kingdom of God. Who then can be saved? this question asked by Peter is answered in the next four Verses. 3. The promised reward of the faithful. (Verses 27-30) Peter said we have forsaken all and followed Thee: What shall we have therefore? Jesus said unto him, ye that have followed Me, in the time that I am regenerating, is bringing the world of mankind as well as the earth out of its lost and chaotic condition and destroying all sin, evil, death, the wicked, as well as Satan, thus restoring the earth and its inhabitants to the Paradise as enjoyed before the fall of man, ye shall sit with Me on thrones (judging), testing and trying the twelve tribes of Israel And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold (perfection), and inherit everlasting life. But the first that die shall be the last to inherit it, and the last that die shall be the first to inherit it. The meek shall obtain it by lot. (Matt. 5:5.) These are other scriptures which prove that the human beings can inherit eternal life only by being changed from human to spirit beings. I give these few Scriptures that you may read for yourself (I. Cor. 15:50-57), (I. Thes. 4:15-18). Street, Northeast, will include morning prayer and sermon at 9:30 a.m., and church school at 10:45 a.m. The Rev. A. A. Birch is vicar.

Collins is exhibiting a log cabin made by John Howard of 7B4 under the supervision of his father who formerly lived in a cabin; thus being able to give the boy some valuable points in construction. The model is 23 inches high, 25 inches long and 20 inches wide. It is built of logs fitted together by notches, very few nails being used. Clay fills all cracks and crevices, making the home very comfortable looking. Many details in construction are carried out. For example, the small wooden window swings on a hinge, a hole is left at the lower right hand corner of the door for the house pets to come or go at will, and the chimney lends itself well to the suggestion of a large fireplace. The cabin is an outgrowth of a history project, colonial life in America. On Thursday, April 12, the 7A and 7B grades were given a very practical and concrete talk on the care of the body. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Jackson, one of the physicians of the neighborhood. Dr. Jackson is a believer of the practice of preventative medicine.

(ANP)—Telephone wires at Aimee McPherson's radio station were kept hot last Saturday following the broadcast of a program on which the word "pickaninny" was used a bit too often to suit the fancy of the colored listeners-in. The name of the individual using the objectionable term could not be secured. Protesters were informed that the program necessitated the use of the word. Campus Gossip Rabbi Edward L. Israel, nationally known lecturer, spoke to the Wednesday assembly of Miner Teachers College, recently. This was his third occasion as an assembly speaker at Miner. Two honorary keys will be awarded to two students standing highest in scholarship, a citizenship, social values and so forth at the Annual Men's Day exercises by the Phi Kappa Epsilon society of M.T.C. Emory Hightower is secretary, incidentally. I hear that Ethel Belcher, Bernice Sidney, Olga Vrooman, and George Wade, have been made members of the Book and Quill club. No student may remain in the building after six o'clock on school days or 12:30 on Saturdays. What precaution! After basketball comes track season. Both Howard and Miner are putting forward their best men. The C.I.A.A. meet will be held May 12, at Hampton. The Senior College *basketteers* defeated the Junior College men of M.T.C. last Wednesday, April 11, by a score of 25 to 24. Members of the Keys club gave a luncheon March 26. The Keys club is organized by the Sophomore girls of the K.P. department. Officers of the club are Marjorie Hollomore, president; Carolyn Wilson, vice-president; Annette Smallwood, financial secretary; Muriel Barnett, recording secretary and Helen Jeter, treasurer. The pledges are now on probation and one may see afutter of bowribbons and a flash of white stockings at good old M.T.C. I saw Ruthie Brannom and Pope strolling together one night last week. That reminds me Dicky Robinson is paging Doris Belcher. Is Bobby S. still going with L. C. or has Dunbar attracted him? And Henry Cone is still that way about C. M. Too bad, or is it? What's this about Francis Curtis and "Shoot-more?" Did you know Charles Carter could sing? It seems as if Penrod has gone back to a faded (?) summer love. What say, Penrod? And it isn't true about our Catherine C. She's back again. Was Thelma Dale really so acted against? And Why? Maybe Margot P. can enlighten some poor fish about their love affair. Our Freshman Prom was ready enough. Everyone was there. I saw J. L. and her one and only. Where was C. W. when the lights went out? Imagine your surprise when you successfully jibe a girl, get the date and then find out that she is not your would-be avenged rival. What would you do? He did it too. I hear that the Miner Teachers' College's prom is coming soon. We hope that it will be a great success as our other Alma Mater's prom. Shall I see you there? The Evening in Paris given by M. T. C. is Friday, the tickets as I have told you are 75c for reserved tables, 25c for general admission. But you really should have taken my advice and secured your reserved tickets some time ago, for they have just about sold out. The girls' series of handball starts Monday at M.T.C. I guess the steps will be as crowded as usual. Is it true that the Student Council of Howard is giving another dance this Friday? Now is that nice to rival the M. T. C. project like that? Why is it a certain girl blushes (if she can) when one calls her "Terzan"? Is it because she is an ardent admirer of Buster Crabbe? I guess you all saw the Odds and End Revue at the Colonnade by the St. Lukes Church. We see that Betty Frank, Maxine Reynolds, and China Boxzale have gone religious on us. They are singing in a choir. Imagine? Our Grayer Willianas has sprung a new car on us and is it sharp? Has the girl friend passed her opinion on it yet? Ask Grayer what she said. Miss Given B. as she calls herself, has just returned from Lincoln University where she attended the Junior Prom, and she says she pitched a ball. Who wouldn't? D. C. Dentist Enrolls As Student Air Pilot Dr. J. C. Carr, of this city, has enrolled as a student pilot at the Unity Flying Field, near Rockville, Maryland the Tribune learned this week. Dr. Carr is the latest addition to the field's fast-growing Flying Club, other members of which include Constance M. Jones, William King, Douglass Fickling, Lewis Campbell, Orris Nash, Allen Moore, Leroy Brown, and George McKenny, all residents of the District, and Curtis Brooks and James D. Hughes of Baltimore. Unity Airport, until recently know as the Kelsner Airport, is located in Lincoln Park, a sub-division of Rockville, Md. It is the only airport in America completely manned and controlled by Negroes. FIFTEEN live and learn BY JOSEPH C. OVERTON Hi-De-Ho—Everybody. This is Station W.T.O. (Washington Tribune Office) bringing you the latest news in a humorous way. This station is now a member of a nation-wide hook-up and brings you the most enjoyable news events of the season. Well here goes: Armstrong placed third in the national basketball tournament which was held in Gary, Indiana recently. Several boys were mentioned for their fine sportsmanship during the tournament. Of course, Reds Briscoe was there. Two of Tech's cagers were picked as members of the National Basketball All-stars. A couple of trophies were presented to G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong, at an assembly on Monday. Credit for the largest ticket sale in the school was extended to the girls. Cash awards were presented to the individuals with the highest sales credit. A suggestion was made by "Grandpa" Washington to send the girls on a trip to some city. He thinks the boys will support the girls, but he is very much in doubt. Now for a bit of humor—I have heard of ranchers branding cattle but this is the first time news have arrived about a girl branding a boy. Who branded Oswald? We would like to know why Gus Finley, Jr., pimps at dances? Why is Charlie Brown famous for his all-day hops? Caroline is so crazy about Wig? Moose the pimp of Four-and-One-Half Street? Leroy Mason so bashful around girls? Why does Garnett Robinson hang around with Gertrude Hunter? Get wise Clementine? It seemed as though all of Dunbar's aristocrats were present at the Dolly Varden's holiday prom week before last. William Jarvis was laying his number with Yvonne in the ante room. Even Winfield S. was there also. The charming little hostess, Iva Turner was very modest. At the piano was the second Earl Hines who showed his skill by polishing the ivories. The long and short of it Inez Truatt and Leon Braxton displayed their skill in dancing. We would like to know why Mamie Coles hangs around Joe Hager so much? The "Gossip Four" has made their debut around Tech's art department. Members of this quartett are A. Letcher, W. Miller, E. Toliver, and L. Nickens. They broadcast every day in room 210. Maurice Butler, an outstanding art student seems to be greatly interested in Miss Evelyn Turner. I wonder if Julius of Cardozo knows anything about this? Kenneth Ballard has his eyes on Ruth Myles. No wonder he gave up the Torch. William Miller cannot get up enough nerve to say anything to a certain young co-ed. Why is he so bashful? Jimmie Scott seems to be discouraged over something. I wonder if Anna or Ida has done anything to hurt his feelings? Mary Bell, of E Street, has a playbrother, Joseph C. B. and now she wants to adopt another—Richard Ball. What-a-girl? The Royal Dukes of South Washington have a mascot, in the person of a female horse. The Montgomery Sisters, Alma and Margaret, young daughters of James Montgomery, a printing instructor at the Terrell Junior High School, rendered a recital at the Little Baptist Church in New York City, on April 3. Maurice (Speed) Winters, one of the well known "The Cuban Boys" stage performers, carries his own ash tray in his pocket. Pauline Simms seems to be worried over her lone lover, Furman Lee, yet he acts like "Wimpy." Since the fountain on the Union Station Plaza has been lighted everyone wants to know who the first couple will be. The ola maestro has his eye on you! So watch your step, folks. Miss Vivian Carson enjoys the company of "Bumper" Hayes since his return from the tournament. His team won two cups and captured third place. What-a-capitan? Percy Taylor, the silent cadet major, has broken bonds with Geraldine. So she says. Can you feature Philip Elmore writing a few lines of poetry in a letter to a co-ed? Listen to this: "If you get to heaven before I do, Punch a hole and pull me through. Snow on the hillside and the sun can't melt it. I love you and just can't help it." He ended with "From the beloved one," Senator Philip Elmore of Tech. For further instructions consult Lillian. Why is Snags so wild about Mozelle? I thought he was interested in Vivian. Why did Sugar Boy Hughes kiss a certain cadet major (G.F.B.) before the Army Day parade on April 6? Richard Stone has earned the title of the seva Rubinoff. We would like to know why Henry Young tips a certain girl on D Street so much? The time has come to sign off—so to do until next week. Follow this column every week in The Washington Tribune.

Final Bowling Match Expected To Draw Large Attendance Friedmen's and Cosmopolitans to Clash in One of the Most Heated Runway Rivalries of the Season; Society Expected Out in Full Force In what promises to be one of the outstanding events of an already colorful sports year in local circles, the doctors of Freedmen's Hospital's bowling team will hook up with their bitter rivals, the Cosmopolitans, next Tuesday night, April 24, at the Masonic Temple Bowling Alleys. SIXTEEN Tech Wins Opening Game From Alumni, 5-0 The Armstrong Technical High School baseball team got off to an auspicious start by trouncing an alumni nine, 5 to 1 in the Walker Stadium, last Friday afternoon. The Generals got to two Alumni pitchers in the final innings in order to grab the verdict. Final Bowling To Draw Larg Freedmen's and Cosmopolitan Most Heated Runway R Society Expected In what promises to be one o ready colorful sports year in local Hospital's bowling team will hook mopolitans, next Tuesday night, Ap ing Alleys. This match will be the grand finale of the league race, which has seen these two outstanding teams come down to the wire neck and neck in a thrilling stretch duel. The outcome of next Tuesday night's battle will determine the ultimate winner of the championship struggle which started early last fall and has been gaining momentum ever since. Society Out in Force So great was the crowd which turned out to witness the last match between these two teams about six weeks ago, that it was necessary for the management to close one of the adjoining alleys and line the floor with chairs and benches to accommodate the gallery. Over one hundred spectators made up the gallery that night, and a crowd twice that size is expected next Tuesday night. The admission is free, of course, and enthusiasm is running high. The bulk of the feminine support goes to the Doctors, since every nurse who is not on active duty that night reports to the bowling alleys to lend her voice to the doctors' cause. But the Cosmopolitans are not without feminine support also. A little group of ladies consisting of Mrs. Bobby Scott, Mrs. DeWitt Perkinson, Mrs. Victor Daly, Mrs. Clyde Bates, Mrs. Harry Honesty, Mrs. Helen Nash, Miss Arnetta Randall, and Mrs. Bertha Lomack form the nucleus of a lusty cheering section to encourage the Cosmopolitans. Mostly Fraternity Brothers Perhaps one of the chief reasons for the unusual rivalry between these two teams is the fact that practically all of the members of b. teams are fraternity brothers of one kind or another. On one team we find Alpha men pitted against Alpha brothers on the other team. There are three Kappa men on one team and two on the other. Chi Delta Mu is represented on both teams. The Freedmen's team is composed of Dr. George W. Adams, Dr. William S. Nelson, Dr. Williard Lane, Dr. John Payne, Dr. Philip Johnson, Dr. J. Keene, and Dr. James A. Walker. The Cosmopolitans are listed as follows: Robert B. Fearing, James E. Scott, Dr. Langston Bate, Victor R. Daly, Harold A. Fisher, Harry Honesty, L. Harper, and Armstrong Claytor. 'Dixie Kid,' Welter Champ of Yesterday Succumbs LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Fifty-one years old and a veteran of more than 100 ring battles, Aaron L. Brown, the "Dixie Kid" of the late ninety and the early days of the present ce eury, died in a hospital here, la last week. Death was due to natural causes. Until six months ago, the figure of the Kid, the same which dominated welterweight circles from 1904 to 1908 as world champion, was a familiar sight on the streets of Los Angeles. A gold-headed cane and a gold-gloved stickpin, remnants of his halcyon days, always with him, the Dixie Kid made a practice of frequenting training camps and inserting timely and valuable advice to colored fighters who are willing to listen. His earnings from 15 years of fighting long since gone, the Dixie Kid lived on what odd jobs he could pick up, and on what his friends gave him. Donations from friends and admirers saved him from a Potter's field burial. Slaughter Wins QUINCY, Ill. (ANP)—Sammy Slaughter, Indiana middleweight, won a close decision over Allen Matthews of St. Louis here Thursday night. Ye Ole Cock Crows 731 - 529 - 650 - 753 - 098 - 230 428 - 791 - 809 - 117 - 628 - 147 --- NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Plan Soft Ball For Title Columbia Ass'n Hopes to Conduct League Play Efforts are being made by the Columbia Soft Ball Association, composed of individuals prominent in local scholastic, community center and playground education departments, to organize a league for the coming summer season. According to Charles L. Pinderhughes, president of the association, plans are being made to carry on a group of leagues in the various sections of the city and in the various departments for the purpose of determining the local soft ball champion.

All teams that have already been organized and all persons interested in the organization of teams are urged to communicate with Mr. Pinderhughes, Clarence Brown, Lois Williams, Edward Underdown, John H.Burr or others affiliated with the Columbia Association for more detailed information. POETS ANNOUNCE DIAMOND TILTS FOR SEASON Dunbar Plans 8 Non-Title Games to Complete Baseball Schedule A schedule of 14 games has been arranged for the Dunbar High School baseball team, according to the announcement of Coach P. L. Jacobs early this week. Mr. Jacobs has rounded out his program of six South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference engagements with eight non-conference clashes. The Rockville High School nine, of Rockville, Md., has been placed on the Poet schedule for a pair of tilts on a home-and-home basis. The first of these will be played on Friday week. The National Training School also found its way into the schedule of the Crimson and Black for two games. One each is also being played with the alumni, the Glendale A.C., the Stadium Bears, and the Aztecs. The Bears were played on the Walker Stadium last Saturday. Although the team is still in its organization stage, and little hope is entertained by the Poet mentor for the completion of his varsity squad until late this week, prospects for a formidable team have already begun to take form. The loss of Paul Cooke, Roy Jackson, Juggy Matthews and Clyde Williams, all reliables of the 1933 squad, is being seriously felt by Coach Jacobs, although no stiff competition has been taken on as yet. Several newcomers who have caught the eye of the First Streeters' pile lead one to believe that there will be satisfactory material to fill the gap left by this nucleus. The tentative Poet schedule follows: - Saturday April 14—Stadium Bees, here. - Monday, April 15 - Wednesday, April 18—Alumni, here. - Monday, April 21—Glendale A.C., here. - Monday, April 28— Wednesday, April 25—National Training School, here.

COLESVILLE MAKES READY FOR 1934 DIAMOND DEBUT Tigers Matched With Hillsdale Club; Music and Flag Raising to Feature Plans for an auspicious opening of the baseball season at Colesville. Md., are already moving forward rapidly with the Colesville Tigers, prides of the little suburban hamlet, carded to meet the invasion of the Hillsdale A.C. crack diamond outfit of LeDroit Park, in the inaugural, May 6. Doug Smith, newly-elected president of the Maryland Club, and Willie Braxton, veteran manager of the Colesville Cats, declared early this week that the affair now little over two weeks off will be one of the biggest openings in the annals of Colesville baseball. Work was begun on the Maryland field in late March in preparation for the campaign debut. Nothing is being left undone as the Tiger officials make ready for the coming of the 'Dales. The Community Centers Band, under the direction of Prof. James E. Miller, will furnish regular opening game music. The teams will march to the center field flag-pole for the formal raising of the Marylanders' banner. Score cards have been printed for the occasion, and refreshments of all sorts and varieties have been ordered. Manager Braxton said, Wednesday, that every precaution is being taken to guard against a shortage of seats for the large number of spectators expected to be on hand. Additional seats are being erected to take care of this expected overflow. LeDROIT TIGERS BEGIN PRACTICE Lefty George Smith, veteran "fork ball" pitcher of the LeDroit Tigers, and recently appointed manager of that outfit, had his charges out for the opening practice drill last Sunday morning. The second session was announced for this Sunday at the same time at the LeDroites' Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, diamond. Old timers and newcomers were among those who took part in the initial workout. Burrell Kenner, Sherman Baylor and Joe Wheeler went through some loosening up exercises along with Reggie (Hank) Williams, Red Pine Armstrong and Herman Scott. The latter trio is expected to bolster the Tiger infield. Eggie Greenfield, veteran catcher and former manager of the Washington Black Sox, Diamond Phillips and a newcomer named Morton have also been signed by the Junglebeers. Harry Williams, once famous as a Washington Teddy Bear and Baltimore Black Sox infielder, has been named coach in place of Ducky Kemp, who has been called to Harrisburg, Pa., to manage that club. Hillsdales Play Cliftons Will Dance Monday Bob Bailey, Jimmie Hughse, Clyde Williams and Marion (Smoke) Levi divided the pitching burden as the Hillsdale A. C. baseball team met the Clifton A. C. nine in an exhibition game last Sunday morning. The first three worked in two-inning shifts. Levi went the remaining three frames. The 'Dales will hold their final dance of the Spring season Monday night at 1507 U Street, Northwest. Judging from previous entertainments, the affair will be attended by a jargon number of baseball players and their friends. Lundy Takes His Chance With Young Material WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.—While owners and managers are working up a sweat over well-advertised and nationally known players, Dick Lundy has eased into Winston-Salem, N.C., and assembled a bunch of youngsters. The peer of shortstops who has had considerable experience with all-star aggregations, seems to have concluded that he woud rather take his chances with youngsters. The list reveals no well-known names west of Philadelphia. Scranton, Easton, Wilkesbarre, and adjoining spots have been combed and the most promising material has been selected. Ordinarily, this policy would hold good in every department but the pitchers. Lundy, however has gone the precedent one better and selected a staff of hurlers unknown to the big time publicity agents. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 19. 1934 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune I am a basketball official. I have handled most of the games in which the Renaissance basketball team has appeared in Washington. I am expected to be "red-headed" over not landing the job as referee of the Renaissance-Celtic game at the Masonic Temple, Tuesday night. There are many who, on reading this, will feel that this criticism is motivated by jealousy—that only a grievance against the promoters of the game could induce me to spill this. There are others who know me personally; still others who know me as a critic (unbiased or otherwise); still others know me as an official bent on fairness or just the opposite, and then there are my own critics. In writing this, then, I'm taking the risk of seeing the scales unbalanced against me and condemnation heaped upon me. Without regard to this position of mine, I present herewith that which I understand to be a responsibility as your sports reporter and press representative. The camel's back is broken. The straw which broke it was the decision of the promoters of the Ren-Celtic basketball game to use a WHITE official. There are no less than ten colored men who have followed and are still following basketball since the days they first saw a ball tossed between two opposing pivot-men. They are divided into three divisions as follows: Johnny Burr, Edgar Westmoreland, and Ike Capid, who were officiating basketball games when the youth who refereed the Tuesday night game was still in knee-breeches; Harold Martin and the writer, who have engaged in the officiating end of the game for at least five years more than the Ren-Celtic arbiter, and Jimmie Lee, Dick Temple, Jerry Adams, P. L. Jacobs and Jack Young, of a group which only recently has gone into the business of foul-calling, but all of whom have proved capable as officials. As argument for the first two points in the preceding paragraph, one might claim that Methuselah lived nine hundred and some odd years, but when he died knew no more about the art of self-preservation than a 25-year-old physician of the present age. That is true. It is also true that my father, who was walking long before the great day I graced the world with my presence, would be the loser in a pacing match with me. I concede. My point is this. Last year's Renaissance-Celtic game was played at the Washington Auditorium. A white official worked the game. That was all right. This year's Renaissance-Celtic game was played at the Masonic Temple. A write official worked the game. That was lousy. When the promoters brought the game to U Street, it became plainly evident that they were catering largely to that group of people which makes U Street its stage for social activity. Negrees were expected to attend in large numbers. The bulk of the advertisement was distributed in those locations frequented by colored people. Their dollars, sifted through the window for a general admission ticket, and their seventy-five cents paid along with advertising "passes," and their monetary offerings for reserved seats were gobbled up with unerring consistency and deposited in the coffers with deadly aim. But in all their group there was not to be found a man to be paid the confidence and respect which accompanies selection as the official. There is no denying, Washington is a "cracker" city. Our athletes play on jiw-crow fields, the theatre-goers are barred from caucasian houses, and our young are educated in schools set aside for them. Will that day ever come when a colored team—any one of the many which has played host to a white local team—will be invited downtown for a return match on the whites' floor? Will Dumbar ever be the guest at Tech High School? Can we expect George Washington to entertain Howard in the west-end gymnasium? How long will it be before a colored official is invited downtown to referee a basketball game—mixed or otherwise? The past winter saw a ban on Negrees EVEN AS SPECTATORS at white basketball games. I might add here in my own defense that I am not a professional baseball umpire, but my followers will recall I raised hell about the employment of white umpires in a colored baseball game last summer. True enough in this instance the contesting teams were both colored, and the use of the two white men would naturally provoke criticism. But it was played at American League Park, where both white and colored are expected to attend, which seems to balance the situation with that of Tuesday night. In conclusion, let me ask that readers of this column address their opinions to me on this issue. If the writer of this column appears to have been actuated by any desire other than one that is in the interest of the race, WRITE JUST THAT. I promise that if it takes from now until next December, your writer will publish every view that is received in this office on this matter. Renaissance Trounces the Celtics Before 1,000 at Masonic A crowd of approximately 1,000 persons, mostly colored, looked on as the Original New York Celtics and the crack Renaissance basketball teams battled at the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, Tuesday night. The two leading contenders for the world court title played to a 36-26 decision, the colored aggregation enjoying the victory margin. It takes lots of "guts" to write this.

Ha Stand Out With Captain Fat A crowd of approximately 1,000 p on as the Original New York Celtics and ball teams battled at the Masonic Temple west, Tuesday night. The two leading title played to a 36-26 decision, the covictory margin. Jenkins, Yancey and Saitch proved to be the standouts for the winners. The former not only caged 6 field goals for the highest individual scoring efforts of the night, but held the redoubtable Davy Banks to two foul shots. The Rens were leading after a cautious first half, 19-12, and came back on the court for the second period with whirlwind speed and spectacular passing attack for which they are famous. Yancey started the scoring by tossing a ringer from the pivot, Jenkins duplicated his performance, and Saitch caged one from center court, a tantalizing looper. Lapchick and Dehnert came to life and with Davy Banks, in an exhibition of rapid-fire passing such as is seldom witnessed, scored from beneath the basket. But Jenknis, Cooper and Smith would not be outdone, contributing a looper, a pivot shot and a toss from a pick-off, respectively. A backhand basket by Dehnert, tossing while on the turn in midair, a beauty by Husta from midcourt, and two hard-earned counters by Barry were not sufficient to offset the Rens' lead. Yancey dropped in one from the backboard while on the dead run, to close the game, except for Banks' two shots from the foul RENAISSANCE CELTICS G F P G F P Smith, rf. 1 0 2 Debart, rf. 3 3 9 Sutch, rf. 1 0 2 Lepkin, c. 0 4 Cooper, c. 1 5 7 Lepkin, c. 0 4 Yancey, rg. 4 1 9 Herlhy, c. 0 4 Jankins, lg. 6 0 12 Hustra, rg. 2 0 4 Banks, rg. 0 2 2 Barry, lg. 3 1 9 Total ... 15 6 36 Total ... 8 10 26 ton, SCHEDULE LISTS CIA ACTIVITIES Following is the spring calendar for the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, as released by J.

COMPETITION KEEN FOR 5th ANNUAL YMARATHON Higher Class of Runners Lured by Local Cross-Country With the Twelfth Street Y Fifth Annual Trans-City Run only three weeks away, the Marathon Committee reports the runners who are pointing towards the coming event are of a higher caliber than in the past year. The splendid performance of the Twelfth Street Y team last year in the National A.A.U. Marathon, the running of Edgar Loe in the relay steeple chase at the Penn Carnival, the showing of Toney Wagner in Baltimore, the placing of second and third of William Rozell and Arthur Johnson, of Baltimore Community House, in last year's Y event, and the outstanding performance of Alfred Patton, local Y ace in the National Marathon, indicates that all will be outstanding candidates for the 1934 crown. Team Trophy Coveted The Twelfth Street Y team trophy, which was won by the well-balanced Sharaf Street Community House, of Baltimore, will be the most coveted prize offered. A record is predicted in the number of clubs and schools competing. Entries are expected from Virginia Union, Howard University, Miner Teachers' College, Wissahickon Boys Club of Philadelphia, Forster Street Branch Y.M.C.A. of Harrisburg, Pa, Armstrong High School, Neighborhood Circle Club of Cambridge, Md., and Dorchester St. Virginia, Md.; Rates: bridge, Md., and Dorchester St tans, Vienna, Md.; Bates Alumni Club of Annapolis, Md.

League Rejects of Baltimore ve Representative Present Withdraws Black Yankees; ation Discussed special meeting called for the purpose for membership and revising the Joe Cambria nor his representative H. G. Hall, Chicago; Tom Wilson, Cum Posey, Charles Walker, Rufus A. Greenlee, Pittsburgh. Bacharach presented by W. A. Greenlee. The first piece of business on the program rejected Baltimore's application for membership, thus declaring her players as being free agents. Permission was granted to league members to play games with Baltimore—provided these games do not conflict with those arranged on the league schedule in any way. The decision of Nat Strong to withdraw the application of New York Black Yankees was accepted, after a letter giving logical reasons therefor had been read. All players on the Black Yankees were declared free agents. Permission was granted club owners to play games with the Yanks, provided these games did not conflict in any way with games arranged on the league schedule. Time limit on forfeits was modified to permit payment of 50 per cent at this meeting and the remaining 50 per cent not later than May 1. Failure to meet the terms as modified carries a penalty which would be similar to attachment of offending clubs' receipts plus a penalty for delinquency. Newark Dodgers, Nashville Elite Giant, Cole's American Giants, Pittsburgh Crawfords, and Homestead Grays met these requirements. Dr. E. L Langrum, representing Cleveland, who arrived late, waived the two-payment advantage and posted the full amount. Restrictions on league teams booking in Meadow Brook, N.J., on Sundays and East Orange, N.J., on Sundays when Newark has games at home were adopted to prevent the appearance of three league clubs in one city at the same time. Umpires came in for a lengthy discussion. the final decision, however, sums up: (1) permitting each owner to recommend the arbiters to the commissioner, who will have sole jurisdiction over them; (2) one umpire will accompany each league club to stations designated by the commissioner; (3) at lease one league umpire must participate in all games played by league clubs—including those with independent clubs; (4) containts from three owners will be required to cause dismissal of an umpire.

All colleges and high schools are eligible to compete in both the meet at Hampton and the C.I.A.A. championships at Howard. Interest in track is growing. Most of the C.I.A.A. schools are expecting to enter some men in the meets this year. Representative institutions not members of the C.I.A.A. have already signified their intention of sending teams to the Hampton meet on May 12. The national high school competition will be held in connection with the Hampton meet as usual. This year the high schools from Washington and the mid-west have also expressed the opinion that they will enter teams at Hampton. From present indications the meet this year promises to be one of the best held in years. Howard Drew, famous sprinter, will again serve as referee and starter for the Hampton meet.

Only the early lead gained by the Cardozo five saved them. They led at half time, 23-7. However they were in for a scare when the Armstrong Niters staged a second-half rally that fell short, the game ending 32-29. Berry, Radcliff and Robinson stood out for Cardozo with 10 and 6 points, respectively. While the whole Tech team did well with the diminutive Harris doing a lion's share.

The game was one of the most exciting ever witnessed here. The first half found the locals leading 15-10. The champs fought an uphill battle and tied the score in the last minute of play 29 to 29. At the end of the extra five minutes each team scored four points, and the score became deadlocked again 33 to 33. The management of both teams held a conference and decided to call the game and play it off here next Friday evening.

Mauling the Maple S With "RUNWAY" CLAYTOR Mauling the Maple S With "RUNWAY" CLAYTOR HENDERSON HITS FIRST ROUND OF USE OF WHITE K.OF P.BOXING OFFICIAL SHOW SUCCESS Cosmopolitans barely nosed out A. G. O. for a 2 to 1 victory in their match last week. The champs took the first game by the scant margin of two points. The Colonels took the second when your correspondent jumped in off the runway and failed to get an even break with dummy. Our boy, Dr. Harold Fisher, did his nastiness in the third game when he out-anchored M. Robinson, one of the best anchor men in the game. The score was tied when these two maulers walked up to do their stuff. Robinson was five pins up on Fisher when the first ball was thrown in the last box. I looked like good night for the champs. That next ball of Fisher's was a "blip," it netted one mark and the game, seven sticks in front. The Ambassadors did something you very seldom see or hear of for that matter. They jumped on Freedmen's Hospital with malice aforethought, taking three in a row. This blow knocked the Medies out of second place. The Ambassadors now have designs on the top niche. Look to your laurels, Cosmopolitans. This boy Frazier is a maple toppling catawampus. H_e is one of the best lefties rolling on the Masonic alleys. His set of 347 was the highest of the evening. Franklin Business Association is taking its revenge without picking any favorites. They tripped Liberty Loan in their set-to, 3-0. G. Thomas took individual high game honors when he rolled 127 in the second game. H. Thompson, of the Franklins, dragged in five strikes to tie M. Robinson with 20 all. Positively, the last match between the Cosmopolitans and Freedmen's Hospital, this season, will be staged April 24, at 9 p.m. This one promises to be bigger, better, tougher, and more spectacular than any of their previous encounters.

Head Criticizes Employment of Referee The following letter was received yesterday (Wednesday) morning. It is self-explanatory and needs no further introduction. April 18.1934. Sports Editor: When will the Negro stop selling his "birthright" for a mess of pottage? It was with distinct displeasure that I noted a white official used in the Renaissance-Celtic game. When the Rens played the Y to a slim house, two good colored officials were used, and they had to take a cut in fees. But I feel sure that the white official got his at the box office and quite a good fee at that. Twenty or more years ago this question was fought out and settled, we thought, when Messrs. G. C. Wilkinson, A. K. Savoy and the writer insisted on Howard University paying us the same fee for the same services rendered in the Thanksgiving Day games prior by white officials. Before that I remember when Armstrong and Dunbar played a championship game officiated by two white boys from Central High School. The writer once was field judge in a Lincoln-Howard game with three white officials; one a Washington ball club pitcher, a student at Haverford and a man from Princeton. The game began with officials representing Lincoln calling Fouls and the official selected by Howard evening up penalties on the next play. The writer claims responsibility for calling a field conference and insisting that the racket be cut out. When we, the colored officials, following the white officials in our big collegiate game at Howard, put in a bill for the same fees, the Howard managers had cheerfully paid white officials, leading professors at Howard condemned us for wanting the amount of $50 for the work, o the ground that it was more than some of them got for two weeks' work. Yet these same teachers had not remonstrated when the athletic association had paid white men this fee for no more efficient work. It was nearly a year before the Howard authorities and the officials came to terms. Afterwards, no white official in the C.I.A.A. circuit has been considered necessary. It is human nature with a lot of folk who have a pronounced inferiority complex, as far as respect for manhood is concerned, to claim for their own services and worth, more than they are really deserving of in the eyes of many judges.

BOXING SHOW SUCCESS Green and Williams Provide Thrills for Large Crowd at Opener The final bout of the first round of a boxing tournament, held at the Knights of Pythias Hall found the hardhitting Willie Green standing toe to toe trading punches with Cyclone Williams, prime middleweight of this city. Green was brought down from New York for the Williams fight and gave a good account of himself, but the Cyclone had too many guns for the New York lad. Williams punched too hard and too fast for Green, and won the nod and approval of the crowd. Williams shows signs of improvement in every fight and is liable to go places in the fight game. The Cyclone is being schooled by Albert T. Jones, one time welterweight, and has won every fight since going under the management of Jones. Charles Wells, pride of the Community Center playgrounds and a stable mate of Cyclone Williams, out-boxed and out-fought Frankie Dillon, of Richmond, in the semifinal. This was a gruelling battle for two rounds, with Wells having the upper hand all the way and coming through with a wicked left and a smashing right to the jaw, ending the fight in the third. Joe Grady, a slashing little flyweight of this city, beat Julius Lucas, of Alexandria, in four rounds. Grady tipped the scales at 105 pounds and Lucas scaled 116 pounds. Johnnie Miller, Oriole lightweight, outpointed Wild Man Reed in four rounds. Baby Walcott, of Baltimore, drew with Jerry Reader. Harry Gaskins, Georgetown featherweight, drew with Maurice Jackson in four rounds. Jake Warren out-pointed Jean Grant in three rounds. Jimmy LaRoy, 118 pounds, beat Harry Alexandria in four rounds. The second round of the tournament will be held on Wednesday, May 2.

Poets Bow to Stadium Bears in Debut The Stadium Bears took the measure of Coach P. L. Jacobs's Dunbar High School diamond outfit in the opening game of the latter's season, last Saturday morning. The Poets fell before a ninth inning rally which netted the visitors the winning margin, 12-11. It was a free hitting game with Berry and Anderson bearing the brunt of the attack for the victors, and Plummer and Stripling the Crimson and Black batters. Organize Soft Ball Ass'n Charles L. Pinderhughes, teacher of physical education at Dunbar High School was elected president of the Columbia Soft Ball Association, at an organization meeting held last Friday night. Clarence Brown was named vice president, Lois Williams and Edward Underdown secretary and treasurer, respectively. All three of these latter are instructors in the Community Center Department. The purpose is to promote the development of soft ball among members of our group. 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. NACHMAN'S Outstanding Bedroom Value! FOUR PIECES $98 Here is real value.

Elder Michaux to Get Radio Competition From Up Harlem By Charles Isaac Bowen Elder Michaux is having competition via the airlines these days, as Bishop R. C. Lawson, head of no less than 75 Apostolic churches in America and the spiritual pilot of a Harlem congregation, is branching out into the facilities of radio. Bishop Lawson is reported as having said, referring to the elder: "Elder Michaux, who broadcasts weekly from the vicinity of Washington, has basked sufficiently in the glory that goes with the reputation of being the country's greatest ecclesiastical show man. "His rhythmic rendition of spirituals, which has contributed to his fame, and corralled thousands of listeners for the Columbia Broad- Keed Changes Mind; Wants Feather Title Back NEW YORK—Changing his mind at the last minute, Kid Chocolate, idol of the Cuban ring enthusiasts, cabled the New York State Athletic Commission, early this week asking for reinstatement as a contender for the featherweight title. Chocolate, who forfeited his title several months ago because he could not make the weight limit, intends to try again. He requested that his name be entered in the tournament being sponsored by the Commission. Schools to Hold Meet Colored schools of Montgomery County will compete in their annual track and field championships at Rockville next Saturday. Officials of the Playground Athletic League of Maryland will conduct the meet. Craws Lose. Win Pair NEW ORLEANS, Pa. (ANP)—The Caulfield Ads defeated the Pittsburgh Crawfords of the Negro National Baseball Association here last Saturday, 7 to 2 and then lost a doubleheader on Sunday 12 to 0 and 4 to 2. Chocolate Winner SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—In his bout on the road to recovering his featherweight title, Kid Chocolate scored an easy 10-round decision over Frankie 'Wallace, Cleveland, here last Monday night. SEVENTEEN to Get Radio From Up Harlem casting System, is not strictly accurate in picturing Negro evangelical religion. The elder has made some mistakes, one of which has been the sacrifice of devotional aspects for those of entertainment. And it's about time a competitor took the air to present the real, unvarnished Negro evangelical scene." His intentions are to give Elder Michaux an ecclesiastical run for his secular money. I predict Elder Michaux will find the bishop and his flock a bit of ardent competition. The bishop is not only going to feature the rhythm singers, but a six-piece ensemble of humm syncopators and a female quartet. 12th Street Boxers Travel The boxing team of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. will leave for Philadelphia to meet the Wissahickon Boys' Club.

(ANP)—Because of legal technicalities, the date of execution for Theodore Roosevelt Cooper has been put off from April 6 to April 27. Cooper was convicted of participating in the murder of J. N. Lasater, white. He was hated to commit the crime by W. H. Hessee, white. Hessee was convicted to life in prison. In the meantime, many persons from all over the state, and especially from Durham, have sought to use their influence to see that Cooper's life is spared. A hearing before the parole commissioner was held Tuesday. Among those who appeared in behalf of the condemned man were: Mrs. Charlotte Story Perkinson, of the Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment: Bishop E. A. Penick, Dr. Milton A. Barber, the Rev. Joseph R. Walker, Mrs. Allen Rogers, Mrs. Kemp Neal, N. G. Newbold, Mrs. Charles G. Doak and L. J. Spaulding, of Durham. Spaulding who has been leading the fight to save Cooper's life, issued the following statement: Boy is Abnormal "For two years, Theodore Cooper, a Negro boy with the mind of a seven-year old child, was virtually the slave of W. H. Hassee, a small-town gangster. Cooper humbly shined Hessee's shoes, played valet to him, got him whiskey, drove his car and obeyed his slightest command. "Hessee wielded an unnatural power over the boy, but for some reason, in spite of threats, bullying and mental torture, Cooper refused to take the life of the man whom Hessee wanted most to die—Lasater Hassee had persuaded Lasater to make over his life insurance to him—a sum of $11,000, by no means an insignificant sum to the crafty villian. "Hessee gave Cooper a gun and commanded him to proceed with the murder. The boy, fearing the cold eyes of the law more than those of his master, fled in terror. Four days he lived in hiding, cating and sleeping when and where he could. Finally, destitute and half starved, he pawned the gun to get money for food. "Hesse meanwhile, began to torment the boy's sister, promising however, that if Cooper would come back to him no harm would come to him or his family. The boy duped by the worthless promise, returned and admitted that he had sold the gun. Hesse infuriated but determined, gave him another gun and warned the youth that if he did not go through with the murder he would be put on the roads for stealing the gun. Cooper wavered; Hesse made the statement that if he told the judge what really happened to the gun he would be a 'dead nigger.' Arrested for Theft "Torn between two major terrors, fear for his own life and fear of taking that of another, the boy preferred to 'take the roads' and was sentenced to jail for 90 days for the theft of the gun, his only court record up to this time. While he was on the road Hessey brought him cigarettes and whiskey and assured him that he was his friend. "As soon as he was released Hessey once more ordered him to murder Lasater. Cooper was to drive the two men alone a lonely road and upon signal Hessey was to gut out of the car. Cooper was to drive on for a few minutes, then shoot Lasater, set the car on fire and return to town on foot. At the last moment the boy lost his nerve and brought the two men back to town. "Hessie who by this time had been looking for another decoy, produced the most important link in the crime—Sylvester Hood, a hardened criminal with a lengthy court record. Cooper, bullied and threatened, hounded and persecuted, with his child's mind could see no way out of his perplexity save by sharing the responsibility of the crime with Hood. "The deed was done; Hood escaped; Cooper was speedily convicted and sentenced to the electric chair, although an investigation showed that the tracks of two men were found leading up to Lasater's house on the night of the murder. Also two men sword they saw the two men running. "Cooper, tried for his life, was not even allowed to take the stand and testify in his own behalf, although he had previously admitted that Hood fired the shot. But with Hood at large and inadequate counsel for Cooper's defense, the boy did not have an even chance. The law has run its course—it has been satisfied, but there is a greater force which has yet to be reckoned with—justice. "There are those of us who believe that Theodore Cooper should not die. In view of this fact a petition, signed by 1,185 people, was sent to the governor, asking to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. So strong was this belief in the boy's innocence that Lasater's wife signed the petition, as well as the president and some of the faculty, of Duke university." SANFORD, N.C. (ANP—Citizens of Moore County flocked to the home of the Rev. George Goods last week when it became known that his wife had just given birth to a son. The Rev. Goods's first child was born fifty-five years ago. Twins were born to the preacher and his wife twelve years ago. M. HENKY J. RICHARDSON, of Indianapolis, Ind., has been recently appointed county attorney for the Home Owners' Loan Corporation for Marion County, wherein is located Indianapolis. Mr. Richardson was elected a member of the Indiana legislature in 1932 from a district which has more 100,000 voters, about five per cent of whom are members of the colored race. As a member of the last session of the legislature he was co-chairman and secretary of one of the most important committees in the legislature. Namely, Committee of the Affairs of the City of Indianapolis. He was co-author of 26 bills which were passed at the session. He secured the adoption of the Richardson Labor Bill, which prevents labor discrimination on public works. He sponsored and had passed the Richardson-Tessup Amendment to the constitution of Indiana making possible the creation of a Negro unit in the State Militia. Mr. Richardson has made an able representative of his constituency. Capitol View News Pleading for a more general application of the Golden Rule; B. V. Lawson, official representative of the New Negro Alliance, addressed the Capital View Citizens' Association last Monday evening. Applause greeted the announcement of the removal of L. C. Wormington, former head of the District Repair Shop, from office. Wormington had been a target of criticism because of his unfairness to Negro labor for many years, and his replacement as a result of the combined protests of various groups of citizens was warmly hailed. The association this week extended a deep expression of sympathy to Mrs. Susan Jackson, whose husband succumbed a week ago as the result of a paralytic stroke. A strange occurrence was recorded in the community last week when a hen owned by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Light laid an egg, to the shell of which was attached a small snake. Newsboys See Movie; Hear Noted Band Leader A group of more than 100 Tribune newsboys were treated to a theatre party at the Republic Theatre, L Street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, last Saturday morning. A special showing of the feature picture current at that theatre was arranged for the boys through the co-operation of Walter Coleman, circulation manager of the Tribune, and Rufus Byars, supervisor of the Lichtman chain of the theatres. Before going to the theatre, the boys were addressed by Professor James Miller, director of the Civic Community Centers Band, who told of plans being made for the formation of a band composed entirely of newsboys. This band, it is planned, will be under Mr. Miller's personal direction, and will render several public concerts during the summer months. At a forthcoming meeting of the boys, to be held this Saturday morning in the Murray Palace Casino, 920 U. Street, Northwest, a Newsboys' Club will be formed and officers elected for the ensuing year. Samuel Lacy, athletic director of the club, will address the group, outlining plans for the club's summer athletic program. Later the boys will be taken to the monument grounds, where tryouts for a Tribune Newsboys' Baseball team will be held under Mr. Lacy's direction. WHISK THREE NEGROES TO JAIL AS MOB RUMOR GROWS IN MISSISSIPPI MERIDIAN, Miss. (ANP)—While threats of mob violence permeated the air here Tuesday, a small army of peace officers hurried Ed Brown, 30, Henry Shields, 27, and Arthur Ellington, to DeKalb, where Circuit Judge J. L. Sturdivant recalled the Kemper county grand jury, to hear murder charges against them. "A confession," allegedly made by Ellington, was obtained by Sheriff J. H. Adcock, to the effect that the murder of Raymond Smart, 60, wealthy white planter, in his home near Scoop, Friday, was committed by one of the trio. The killer had used a foot axe to slay the aged man. The police claim that Ellington's "confession" included robbery as a motive for the killing.

Electric and Acetylene Welding Rear 1145 21st St., N.W. STerling 9657 (Continued from page 1) W. B. Ellison, Jr., 28, instructor in tailoring, died of a bullet wound in the stomach. The following are wounded: Mrs. Fannie Herold, 45, who was wounded in a lung; Felex Warren, 25, wounded in arm, and Miss Helen Briggs, 25, wounded in arm. Mrs. Herold's Condition Critical. They were taken to the St. Francis Hospital. Attaches said Mrs. Herold's condition was critical. The others are expected to recover. In the presence of the faculty members and students, Hill spoke of charges implicating him in connection with accounts of the tailor, shoe repair and barber shops operated by the school. At the conclusion of his talk, Hill said, "He who steals my purse, steals trash, but he who filches my good name take that which enriches him not, but makes me poor indeed." Then began the firing from a .32 caliber silver-plated revolver which Hill took from his trouser pocket. Sought Cover Under Tables Hill shot first at Ellison who sat at a table. The pistol raked the others at the table. A bullet struck Warren and Miss Briggs in the arm and another entered Mrs. Herold's shoulder. The bullet ranged into her lung. As Hill spoke, Mrs. Herold interpreted the superintendent's words to the deaf children. When the firing started the frightened students and instructors ran to cover under tables and in the hallway. Hill fled from the dining room and was found dead in his private office with a bullet in his heart. Acted Strangely Hill's widow told officers that her husband acted strangely Thursday night and made several trip to his office in the school building. Ellison was a native of New Bern, N.C. and was unmarried. Hill is survived by his widow and seven children. They are Miss Beatrice Hill, instructor at Bowie Normal School, Bowie, Md.; Miss Portia Hill, of Elkins, and Misses Institute and Henry Hill. Col. John Baker (white), treasurer of the board of control, said that the two women who were wounded had testified at an investigation he had conducted at the school into "certain financial affairs." He said that the inquiry had been concluded and a report is being prepared for submission to the board and Governor Kump. He declined to say what was revealed by the inquiry. A. Spates Brady, president of the board, said both Warren and Ellison had given evidence in an investigation of accounts of the tailor and barber shops. He said the board held Hill responsible for the shops operated by students in the trade school. Brady commented that Hill apparently "knew whom he wanted to shoot." Hill's body was taken to Campbell Funeral Home and Ellison's body was removed to the Harden and Harden Funeral Home. A successor to Hill has not been named. DR. ROBERT S.

Miss Thrope also protected against police arresting and holding people for "investigation" without placing any charge against them. This is done frequently with colored persons, Miss Thrope pointed out. She urged the commissioners to remove Southard while the charges are being investigated, but Commissioner Hazen said that he would not do this. Seeks Cop's Removal "Cops arrest and hold citizens while charge; against them are being investigated, why not do the same thing with policemen?" Miss Thrope asked. The commissioners did not answer this question. Others on the committee with Miss Thrope were Mrs. Rita Boston, of the Robert Lewis Branch of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights; the Rev. J. H. Hill, of the Christian Relief Association, Miss Johnson, of the City National Forum and Mrs. Dora Walla. ASK NEW ENGINE FOR NUMBER 4 ASK NEW ENGINE FOR NUMBER 4 (Continued from page 1 ) Johnson, as spokesman, and in- cluding Dr. C. W. Wade and John T. Rhines, president of the civic body, had appeared in a hearing before the House Sub-Committee on March 23. Despite rigid cross-questioning by Congressman Clarence Cannon, of Missouri, chairman of the House' Sub-Committee on Appropriations, the delegation had been successful in portraying before Congress for the first time the de- plorably inadequate fire equipment of the No. 4 Engine Company, according to the printed hearings of the Sub-Committee which were released to the public this week. The delegation cited statistics to show that No. 4 responded to one-eleventh of the fire alarms in the District in 1933; that it ranked among the first 13 or 30 engine companies in numbers of response to alarms for the past five years; that it responded to 72 to 249 more fire alarms than any one of 11 suburban companies in 1933; and that it responded to 83 more alarms than the three engine companies located in Congress Heights, Deanwood and Conduit Road sections put together in 1933. Gov't Structures Threatened Over 40 Government structures, including the aCapitol and the White House, to which No. 4 answers 1st and 2nd alarms, were named. Sixteen colored organizations and 19 business concerns with large property investments, who had sent letters to the Commissioners endorsing the association's fight for new apparatus, were also named. Need Heavy Duty Equipment Concluding, Dr. Johnson stated, "Our conclusion is, therefore justified that No. 4 Engine Company should be considered and equipped as one of the 'heavy duty' companies of the department and should not be further stimulated as the company having the slowest wagin and the oldest engine in the department. "We contend that the No. 4 Engine Company should be equipped in keeping with the amount of work that it does, the fire units with which it serves, and in keeping with the area which it protects."

DEATH MAP—This spot map released by the District Tuberculosis Association shows how tuberculosis breeds in the congested Second precinct where there are many squallid alley dwellings. Each dot on the map marks an address where a person died of tuberculosis last year. At right: DISGRACE CITY—Hundreds of hidden alleys and courts such as the one shown above are breeding places of tuberculosis. From these centers the disease is carried out into the residential districts. Drive to Check Spread of Tuberculosis Must Employ Help of Colored Doctors and Nurses The above pictures and "Death Map" show clearly that the worst breeding places for tuberculosis are in the congested Northwest sections in which colored people live. They live there not because they want to, but because the property owners, land gougers, have so fixed the high rents in this city as to force people of small incomes to live in the alleys and courts in order to have a roof over their heads. No attempt is made to keep these houses in repair. No attempt is made to see that these courts and alleys are regularly cleaned. No attempt is made to insist that these landlords provide these homes with proper toilets and baths as provided under our building regulations. In fact, there has been an apathy on the part of the city authorities because, perhaps, these dwellers are both poor and colored. But now that it develops from a survey that the disease is spreading, we find much to do about it. Why not abolish the alleys? Why not city-owned low rent housing centers for these poorly paid, large familied people? Why not condemn all the property, and let us pay for it in money rather than in EDUCATORS MEET (Continued from page 1 ) dress of Superintendent Wilkinson, who spoke upon the subject, "How the Association May Become a More Dynamic Influence in the States of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia."

All of it could be bought for a sum not more than the cost of one battle ship. the cost of one battle ship. Dr. Algenon B. Jackson, a student of public health, has written us as follows: The City's Efficiency "Now that the tuberculosis situation in Washington is before us, I want to repeat some of the statements made by myself before various medical and social organizations, during the last ten years, especially as the problem effects the Negro citizens. "The tuberculosis death rate in every large city is always influenced by its Negro population, and, at the same time, serves as an index to that city's efficiency in handling the problem. "We, in Washington, cannot escape the fact that our tuberculosis death rate is alarmingly high, nor should we want to do so, but we certainly should do our utmost by getting down to the facts of the case, and strike positively at the focus. "The susceptibility of the Negro to tuberculosis is admitted, but, in all fairness to him, we feel com- Committee Named A committee consisting of Dr. H. H. Long, assistant superintendent of education, chairman; Dr. Charles H. Thompson, of Howard University; and Dean J. W. Haywood, of Morgan College, was appointed to set up for the association a program of activities based upon the findings of the conference. The report of this committee will be made public later. Among others present were: Principal William Anderson, of Baltimore; Supervisor W. Q. Bland, of Leonardtown, Md.; Miss Jeanette W. Boyer, of Baltimore; Principal Earle L.

"The Negro suffers from tuberculosis more than the white man, first, because his race is new to the disease, and the white race is old in it. In other words, the former is slowly developing an immunity to the disease, and the latter has already developed his immunity because of his long exposure thereto. Poverty and Ignorance "Tuberculosis is a disease of poverty, ignorance and all the other crimes of social and economic maladjustment, which especially beset the Negro. Now add to these the lack of immunity, and we have the tragic picture which must command the attention of every humanitarian. "If we are to wage a successful fight against tuberculosis in Washington, we must concentrate our efforts upon our colored citizens. Fighting tuberculosis today is not merely a fight against the germ which causes the disease, but indeed is rather a fight to lift the Colton, Baltimore; Principal George M.

"In this fight the aid of intelligent Negro physicians, nurses and social workers must be enlisted and paid for. In other large cities this is being done with telling effect. Negro Physician Urged "When, and if, the present Board of Health is re-organized, a Negro physician should be placed thereon to advise and direct activities touching the matter of health among the members of his race. Negro physicians, nurses and social workers should be employed in municipal clinics, and I am ready to guarantee that soon we shall note a marked improvement in our death rates. "Negroes are members of our School Board to help direct the education of our children, and it is indeed just as logical to place Negroes in the new health set-up to preserve the health of our people.

Mr. McGrew stated that he would carry out the wishes of the commissioners and was in sympathy with all workmen, regardless to color and would give colored men a square deal at the shops. The board of education backed the Joint Committee up in the latter's demands to employ skilled colored workers on all public projects.

William E. Taylor, of the Howard University Law School, chairman of the committee, has received letters from three senators who promise to aid in having the amendments added to the act. The senators are Royal S. Copeland, chairman of the committee on Rules; Ellert D. Thomas, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Frederic C. Walcott, of Connecticut. The following letter has been sent to various senators here urging the addition of the amendments: The Letter to Seniors My dear Senators: On behalf of the organization we represent and the millions of colored workers in the U. S., we object to the "Labor Disputes Act" in its present form. As the bill is for the benefit of labor (to which class the Negro race furnishes a greater proportion than any other race) we hesitate to oppose it. But, after many conferences and much thought based upon extensive study, we are convinced that this bill, in its present form, conceals more danger to the future welfare of the colored citizens of this country than any bill seriously considered by Congress in the last seventy-five years. Organized labor is hostile to colored people. Practically every labor organization in the country denies the Negroes the right of membership therein. Those which admit colored people, restrict their employment to the least desirable work and because of the race or color of the darker members of the union, deny them the right to the skilled, and in some instances, the semi-skilled positions regardless of their training, skill or experience. When a factory or job is unionized, the members of the union refuse to work with the colored workers because they do not belong to the union, and refuse to admit the Negroes to the add the following: "or on account of race, color, or creed." 2. On page 5, in line 11, after the word "employment," union because of their color. When colored people are permitted to remain in such factories or on such jobs, it is because the employer, grateful for long, loyal and efficient service, insists that they be retained. Generally, however, no new Negroes are hired, and, when those remaining are severed from their positions by resignation, discharge or death, the door of opportunity to that job or that shop is forever closed to colored workers. Supply and Demand In the absence of specific enactment on the subject, the law of supply and demand controls. The unorganized colored worker, in competition with his white organized coworkers, may succeed. Even if he is discharged, he may get protection in the courts, either at law or in equity. But, if the "Labor Disputes Act" is passed in its present form, the wronged colored worker will have no remedy.

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1934 ganized labor—labor unions, unless restrained, will, within twelve months, drive colored people from all types of private employment in which two or more persons are employed. The unemployment conditions in the District of Columbia illustrates the plight of the colored worker. Although the colored people are but 27.1 per cent of the population, they furnish more than 80 per cent of the persons on relief, Does the Congress of the U. S., to which colored people all over the land have turned for relief, wish to add to their plight? To remedy this condition and protect millions of helpless colored workers who do not even know of the pendency of this bill, we recommend the following amendments: Four Recommendations 1.

He promised the group that, if reelected, he will introduce into Congress a Civil Rights Bill for the District of Columbia. DR. WASHINGTON (Continued from page 11) that Battle was given a physical examination and was found to be physically unfit. T. J. Houston, president of the Terrell Junior High School Parent Teacher Association, asked permission of the board to continue the operation of the Boys Club during the summer. They after was referred to Superintendent Wilkinson when it was disclosed that teachers at the school are volunteering their services during the school term, but there were no funds available to pay the teachers for their services during the summer. The club was founded by Miss V. E. Chase, principal of the school. The board was advised that as of March 29 there were 192 children who were out of school due to lack of sufficient clothing. Of thirteen 152 returned to their classes on April 6 and 40 are still out. To Consider Bohanon Case The case of Alonzo Bohanon who appealed from the decision of the board of examiners on his eligibility to take examinations for license 11 in senior high schools was referred to the Committee on Complaints and Appeals on the recommendation of Dr. Ballou. Bohanon's educational qualifications prevented the board from giving him the tests, it was said. He was at one time employed at Howard University, but was dismissed following his arrest in THIRD connection with carrying a fountain pen gun and an alleged attack on his wife. This had nothing to do with the board's action, school officials stated. Appointments approved by the board were as follows: Miss M. R. McNeill, teacher, Garnet-Patterson Junior High, per-ment at o' April 25, and N. W. Currey, teacher Phils Vocational extension of temporary appointment. Edwin R. Henderson was appointed tempoary as of April 5 as supervisee of Community Center at $5 per diem. Leave of absence was granted Mr. E. W. Matthews, teacher, Morse-Twitting as of April 2. The following teachers notified the board that changes had been made in their names as follows: Miss E. M. West, teacher, Francis Junior High, to Mrs. E. W. Dayton; Miss A. W. Jenca, teacher, Douglass-Simmons, to Mrs. A. J. Phelps, and Miss N. F. Lewis, teacher, Summer-Magruder, to Mrs. N. L. Blackburn. The following night schools were closed effective April 18; Bell, Briggs, Burville, Francis and Lovejoy. Mrs. J. C. Bailey, teacher class 3, Francis Night School, was transferred to Garnet-Patterson. Mrs. O. B. Clayton, teacher, Garrison School, resigned April 18, the board was informed.

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1934 Should Be District Man Washingtonians will hail with delight the bill passed by the Senate this week transferring to the District commissioners the authority to appoint the order of deeds for the District. The post is strictly a local one and a Washington man is entitled to the position. Heretofore the position has been used by every administration as a sop to politicians in the states. The post no doubt will be given to a local man if the bill becomes law and according to custom a Negro will be appointed to the position by the commissioners. The bill still requires action by the House. The recorder of deeds in the past has been appointed by the President and the appointment is confirmed by the Senate. Since the commissioners are responsible for the local government they should be given broader powers in its administration. New Deal Promised Workmen Wormington not only refused to be congratulated on its fight to have L. C. Wormington, white, removed from the position as head of the District Repair Shops. The Joint Citizens' Committee is to hire colored men in other than menial positions, but went so far as to tell a group who called on him that he rated Negroes as inferior to white men. The new head of the shops who took office this week promised a square deal to all workmen regardless of race or color. In an exclusive interview with The Tribune the recently appointed superintendent stated that colored men would be given the jobs for which they are qualified and every effort made to insure the employees under him a square deal under the new deal. Although Wormington was not dismissed from the government service as was asked, he was placed where he can do no further damage and carry out his discriminatory policies. "I Gave My Life for Thee" Reprinted from the Richmond Planet. We take the liberty to reproduce the following editorial from the Richmond Planet of last week. It is, in our humble estimation, a masterpiece and deserves the highest commendation for its force, accuracy and force: "This line tells the story of the storm buffeted life and tragic death of William Monroe Trotter. The story is thrilling in its courageous outline, appealing in the character of sacrifice and devotion it unfolds and passing pathetic as the final chapter is read. "Monroe Trotter was the Robert Emmett of the Colored race in America. He held fast to an ideal and fought stubbornly and heroically for absolute equality for Colored Americans, although he must have realized often times that his eyes would close forever with that ideal unattained and that defeat would be the attendant nurse in his dying hour. Trotter chose poverty when he might have had affluence, blame when he might have had praise, isolation when he might have had the acclaim of crowds because he refused to compromise with Angle-Saxon prejudice or to retreat an inch from a principle which was to him 'the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen.' "Truly can it be said of him: 'He chose rather to suffer afflictions than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.' "Such a life and death is a challenge to every liberty loving Colored American. Why will Colored men, women and children permit such martydom for those who wear themselves out in a service which scoffs at earthly rewards? "I gave my life for thee, what hast thou given me?' What will the answer be? Are there any amorg us who will in contemplation of the life, suffering and death of William Trotter, solemnly resolve that he shall not have lived and died in vain?" Our Readers' Opinions Readers of the Tribute are requested to send in letters expressing their opinions on subjects of general interest. Confine letters to 200 words or less, sign name to show good faith, and give address and telephone numbers. Names will not be published if so requested. Religion As I See It, The Viewpoint of a College Student. Editor, Tribute: Seriously speaking, religion to me has always been, something lived, not discussed. This has been my reaction since the time I overheard the conversation between two "back-sliding" church members who were attempting to outshine each other in the discussion of religion. After learning that the term "good" was so closely related to "God," religion began to take on a new meaning: thinking good, expressing good, and identifying good in every thing and everybody. I found early in my spiritual explorations that thinking would be my most important problem. What I see without is the result of what I am thinking within. It is like an echo, flinging back what I send out. After thinking, I must back up the thought with zeal, earnestness and enthusiasm. Emerson says, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." The man who sets the world on fire is the one who with flaming heart like Garibaldi, who pointed to the suffering that faced Italy, thought of a solution and followed up his thoughts with real action. The same thing is true of religion. Religion without service is like a ship without sail. I like to think or religion as an attitude or way of living. I like to think of it as being one's best and looking for the best in the other fellow. Religion requires discipline and continuous effort. I have learned through many experiences that a higher law than my own regulates all things; that love is flowing through all of us like life, vitalizing us and all we do, if we allow it to manifest itself. This world is learning new lessons every day. Selfishness and unkindness have always brought disaster and misery. Remedies of every description have been proposed to alleviate our present suffering but we can not hope to better conditions until the underlying cause is determined. After reviewing mental attitudes and motives, a good solution will be in the making. Religion is a practical and efficient way of cleaning our mental houses. The world wants religion and needs a restatement of the meaning of it. To meet the demands placed upon it, it must mean the lifting of a helpful and beautiful thing from the intricate gestures of former times into something that is to be useful and yet simple. NELLIE C. MORTON W. Va. State College Institute, W. Va. Street Scene Bv COLEMAN G. DUCKETT Poor little brown girl, with witsful eyes embracing Life's guttered segment weaving a pattern of desires, That burns its brand and sears its scars on flesh and soul, effacing All that is pure and splendid in the terror of its fires. You hold your sweets so cheaply, pursuing your paltry pleasures. In crowded, dingy dance-hall, or in some barred retreat; Poor little crushed rose, you walk to fateful measures, Nay, run to them with eager eyes, on hungry, questing feet. What impulse drives you onward, what visions are you seeking, Some phantom that you, yourself, perhaps know not its name? Do you here find your ideals where, with fetid odors pecking. Lust entertains, as horrid host, the godless guest of Shame? Or do you look to pious saints for guidance in despair? Their fanes are for the good sheep and the Pentecostal sign; Tis not for you they raise the hymn or chant the selfish prayer. Too glad they are themselves to be among the ninety-nine. Perhaps your tragic tale is told in some far star that's setting— Unlucky orb of evil that shone upon your birth And glittered with a baleful eye at your first cry, abetting The bars that life had compassed round to rob you of your worth. Poor little stray lamb, your sins are not apparent. What cares He for their warped conventions, or their twisted laws? Will not, where hands of Justice prepare the guilty warrant. This crime against His little one be charged unto its cause? Except for short stretches, I have never tried to live without news. I think I would prefer to live without meat. Yet I know many people who seldom glance at anything in a newspaper except the social notes or some feature that has no news element. They get along perfectly well, too, although conversation with them is often balked. Usually they are frightful gossips, which indicates that they do not totally lack a news-interest. The principal difference between men and women is that men want comfort and women want excitement. On the street car a man observed that the depression had humbled everyone. Men who formerly grunted at him were now pleasant, he said. He confessed that he rather enjoyed the universal humility. I should say from long observation that half of all so-called important men spend half their time doing jobs that could just as well be done by clerks. _____ 0_____ The petty economies of the rich are just as amazing as the silly extravagances of the poor. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 19. 1934 PAGE He has fought a good fight; he has finished his course; he has kept the faith; and now he has offered his life as a sacrifice upon the altar of race devotion—Monroe Trotter was the noblest Roman of them all. Monroe Trotter died a martyr to his race. I have known every agitator for racial rights who has stood out conspicuously for the past forty years. Trotter stands out as the unrivalled and unmatched leader of his generation. He was not a radical, but a courageous agitator for Constitutional and guaranteed rights. He sought no change in existing law nor the overthrow of existing order. His mission was not to destroy, but to fulfill. Son of a distinguished father, a Harvard graduate with high academic rank, endowed with a comfortable patrimony, he allowed neither family nor school nor wealth to separate him from the love of race and devotion to its welfare. Trotter is the only Negro, of my knowledge, who has made a sacrifice for his race. Others have had nothing to sacrifice but have gained honor, place and fortune out of the cause which they espoused. He is the only Negro who in these respects can be compared with Wendell Phillips, of anti-slavery fame. No Negro had ever had more prospect than young Trotter, the brilliant Harvard graduate with distinguished family connections, backed by wealth and social standing, as he entered upon his career as a realtor immediately upon graduation. Just then the star of Booker T. Washington was in the ascendency. He deliberately turned his back on his alluring prospects and devoted his energies, with detachment of aim, to the overthrowing of the submissive policy which, as he conceived, the great industrialist embodied and exemplified. He became obsessed with the zeal of a fanatic, and never during a single hour did he deviate from that objective. At that time, the outstanding politicians Pinchback, Bruce and Tim Fortune, were making a beaten path to Tuskegee. William H. Lewis, James Weldon Johnson, and Charles W. Anderson et id omne genus were casting their anchors to windward. Bishops were bowing before the Tuskegee altar. Newspapers with one voice—except the Guardian—bent the knee. The young intelligence of that day deserted the Trotter craft for the more stately Washington ship. He showed his adherents with good gifts. The patronage of philanthropy and the bestowal of public office were placed at Mr. Washington's disposal. Trotter had nothing to offer but sacrifice and self-denial. He had nothing to gain and nothing to give except the rights of the people. DuBois had been offered and was seriously considering accepting a position at Tuskegee. Trotter tried his best to wean DuBois from this persuasion and attach his brilliant powers to the anti-Booker Washington proparanda. I was Trotter's guest on my first visit to Boston. If ever man strove to proselyte his fellowman, Monroe Trotter sought to wean me from my Booker Washington proclivities. He did not succeed. My attitude from the beginning till now has been one of fair and just appraisal void of one-sided partizan zeal and factional rancor. Mr. Trotter understood from the beginning that I never agreed with his views or his methods, but I respected his genuineness and sincerity. The files of the Guardian contain sharp criticisms of my non-impassioned attitude. We differed deeply, but preserved mutual respect. The foolish issue between higher and industrial education was raging. I held the just balance between the two. Both sides have now gravitated to my opinion. It is interesting and significant to note that Dr. DuBois is now weering back in the direction of his first principles or at least his first preachments after a third of a century of violent departure from his early pronouncements at the beginning of his career. The Guardian was the organ of the Trotter propaganda. He installed it in the office of the Liberator, from whose sanctum he sought to catch the fire and zeal of William Lloyd Garrison. He made various, and in the main, vain attempts to gather about him able and brilliant leaders who were inspired by the same spirit and aim. But it is not in the nature of reformers to agree among themselves. Whenever two reformers agree, it is evidence presumptive that one of them is not genuine. Trotter's tough, indomitable spirit could brook no difference of opinion or judgment. His followers broke with him one by one, till he was left in pathetic loneliness. He organized the Equal Rights League, which, after lingering at a poor dying rate, followed the fate of all Negro agitative organizations. But none of these things affected the indomitability of his spirit. He nailed at the most head of the Guardian: "Segregation for Colored is the Permanent Damning Degradation in the U. S.—Fight It," and died with the colors still flying. He insisted that the Negro should have every right and privilege vouchsafed to Armenian citizens, without reserve and without delay. He made President Wilson quail and President Coolidge equivocate in face of his insistent scathing demands. The word compromise was not in his vocabulary. He was not a "die hard," but a "never die" antagonist. As long as men admire that persistence which sticks everlastingly by the principles which it espouses, the name of Monroe Trotter will not be forgotten. He died as he lived—with singleness of spirit and purpose, a martyr to the cause in which he believed. He has fought a good fight; he has finished his course; he has kept the faith; and now he has offered his life as a sacrifice upon the altar of race devotion—Monroe Trotter was the noblest Roman of them all. TROTTER HAD BEEN A BRILLIANT STUDENT DENIAL HIS OFFER Why Some Negroes Advocate Segregation BY CARTER G. WOODSON, Why Some Negroes Advocate Segregation BY CARTER G. WOODSON, of Washington, D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History," "The Mis-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." In the first place, as I have said elsewhere, Negro segregationists have been mis-educated. They have never learned to think. They have been taught to admire the Hebrew, Greek, the Latin, and the Teuton and to despise the Negro. The more the Negro receives of such education the worse off he is. Unless a Negro under such circumstances has sufficient independence to learn the truth for himself and the courage to proclaim it he will be worse off than if he had learned nothing at all in school. Such mis-educated Negroes instead of becoming an asset to the race develop into the greatest liability in opposing, discouraging, exploiting, and betraying their own people at every turn on the way through their ordeal. myself do not like it, and I shall not make another contribution to the National Association for Advancement of Colored People until they clear themselves of the stigma. Some of those who are attaining the man who has thus rendered, however, are segregationists themselves. I underscore that our distinguished "dean" does not like this attitude. Yet he advocated the jim-crow inaugurated ball here in Washington about year ago; and other "aristocrat Negroes in the same city can further this idea in having for a benefit the Warm Springs Foundation in Georgia another big bachelor dance with the Negro servant of the White House as the gue of honor. Misguided Negroes Worship the Whites In his mis-education the Negro learns that while his race does not amount to anything, all others have achieved well, and the whites have done things even wonderful. The misguided black man, then falls down and worships the white face. The Negro points his own face and straighten his hair in order to look as much like this "superior" being as possible. Instead of trying to develop himself to attract the white man to him this imitator restricts himself altogether to trying to break down the barriers between him and his "superior" neighbor. Since the Negro combatant has failed in this effort he sours upon life and would lay himself down and die. One some mis-educated Negroes the effect of this misguidance is more appalling, for they pass beyond the stage of those who worship the white face and become so overawed thereby as not to be able to remain comfortable in the presence of the nordic. Such Negroes do not feel free in the same school, church, or thatre where whites are present in large numbers. This timorous element cannot play, sing or speak with freedom before large audiences of the overpowering race. Negro performers, lacking confidence in themselves on such occasions cannot overcome the feeling that some of the whites then facing the participants can perform these parts better than the Negroes thus functioning. The thus discouraged and mentally enslaved Negro, therefore, must restrict himself altogether to circles of his own people. His white educator might well sit back then in the satisfaction of having effected the desired outcome in driving the Negro away and keeping him in a sequestered sphere. Some Have Lost The Will to Do Still another element of Negroes who once had hope and did not entirely succumb to the propaganda in our so-called education have lost the will to fight against odds. After being educated they naturally kept before themselves the expriences of the various "superior" races contrasted with the well-played-up unpromising background and status of their own people. While being daily reminded by the church, the school, and the press of the experiences of those whom the once militant Negro had to combat-experiences which assure success in meeting the ineffective attacks of discontented Negroes—the Negroes, feebly struggling against difficulties find in their own history, as written by the whites, nothing but discouragement and failure. This misguided Negro's ambition, then, is easily killed by his "education"; and he chooses the line of least resistance. The recent accession to the ranks of Negro segregationists may be accounted for in this way. We Have the Exploiters of the Race Mis-educated Negroes sometimes do worse than give up the fight. Regarding the effort to rise as hopeless, such Negroes frequently decide to spend their lives selfishly in exploiting their people for whatever they may be worth. Their education has led them to long for the expensive grewaws and toys of life by which the white man has exploited the weak in working toward a disproportionate distribution of wealth. To live at least temporarily in the luxury and ease which the exploiting class offers such Negroes for "selling out" their helpless people these unprincipled Negroes readily yield and serve the machine to aid in their own undoing. To this class belong most of our politicians, all of whom are not necessarily employed by the federal or state government. Men of this type have been set up in all Negro communities. They have their price. The New N.A.A.C.P. Tendency Recently there has been much stir about the advocacy of segregation by one of our "leaders." I --- myself do not like it, and I shall not make another contribution to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People until they clear themselves of this stigma. Some of those who are attacking the man who has thus surrendered, however, are segregationists themselves. I understand that our distinguished "dean" does not like this attitude. Yet he advocated the jim-crow inaugural ball here in Washington about a year ago; and other "aristocratic" Negroes in the same city carried further this idea in having for the benefit of the Warm Springs Foundation in Georgia another big backdoor dance with the Negro servants of the White House as the guests of honor. Some of those criticizing the segregationists and others coming to his defense contend that this was the position of Booker T. Washington. This version of the matter, however, is far from the truth. Booker T. Washington cannot be classified as a segregationist. Like any other sensibly person, he took the position that while segregation is undesirable, if it is forced upon us, we must make the most of it. In other words, in our segregated sphere we must so develop from within that the white man will not desire to raise a barrier against us. Booker T. Washington On Segregation Referring to segregation itself Booker T. Washington said: "Practically every thoughtful Negro resents its injustice and doubts its sincerity. "Any race adjustment based on injustice," said, he, "finally defeats itself." The Civil War is the best illustration of what results where it is attempted to make wrong right or seem to be right. It is inconsistent," he contended; "the Negro is segregated from his white neighbor, but white business men are not prevented from doing business in Negro neighborhoods. 'There has been no case of segregation of Negroes in the United States that has not widened the breach between the two races. Wherever a form of segregation exists, it will be found that it has been administered in such a way as to embitter the Negro and harm more or less the moral fiber of the white man. That the Negro does not express this constant sense of wrong is no proof that he does not feel it." Lynching Exposed By ROGER DIDIER For the Associated Negro Press CONCLUSION Will Congress act against the lynchers? Father John Gillard, representing the Maryland Anti-Lynching Federation, submitted to the sub-committee a resolution containing 5,000 signatures from citizens of Baltimore. The resolution suggested political action against members of Congress who declined to take a stand against lynching. Dieterich's eyes blazed, his face reddened. "Do you endorse that resolution?" he demanded of the Catholic priest. "Yes," replied the priest simply. "You mean that Senators should be coerced?" pursued Dieterich, "that they should not be free to act as their conscience dictates? The priest stood pat. Dieterich boiled. Thus the old question: Should a legislator represent the wishes of his constituents or the dictates of his own conscience? That question will not be answered here. However idealistic a Senator's conscience might be and however proud he might be of it, in his more practical thinking, he knows that obedience to the wishes of his constituents often pays good returns, and that indifference to them frequently means personal disaster. The subcommittee has the facts. It is understood that the issue is to be presented favorably to the entire judiciary committee, of which Senator Ashurst (Ariz.) is chairman. The bill must pass this committee before it reaches the floor of the Senate. Action must be taken quickly if the measure is to reach the Senate floor at this session of Congress. If the members of the judiciary committee are impressed that their constitutents desire the matter reported out quickly, they will act quickly. Otherwise, they might dilly-dally and the measure would die. If the members of Congress are impressed that the citizens, black and white, of the United States, want such a law, they will enact it. It is up to the citizenry therefore to make the desire known to members of Congress. Each citizen has therefore a responsibility. When you have read this last word, you should take your pen in hand and write to your Senators and Congressmen. A simple task, but tremendous in effect if five million do likewise. SPECIAL FEATURES BY CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL PRISON PUBLICATIONS! Practically every prison nowadays publishes some sort of prison organ wherein are printed the writings, the drawings, etc., of its inmates. Some of these prison organs are very crude; some merely run off a few pages at a time on some sort of cheap process machine; others are crudely set up and run off on small hand presses of some sort; still others are printed in regular magazine fashion in the print shops conducted in our larger prisons. The most interesting prison publication, however, that comes to me regularly is The Spectator, published by and for the inmates of the Michigan State Prison, at Jackson, Michigan. Mechanically speaking, The Spectator is a marvel. It is printed each week by the mimeograph process. The mimeographing is a work of art for practically on each page is some bit of art work, drawing, cartoon, illustration or whatnot, with a specially designed cover that contains each week a linoleum cut illustration that editors, artists, and business men here in Chicago have told me is equal to anything they have seen. According to the masthead, The Spectator personnel reads as follows: John Cox, editor; Glen Bennett, and Louis Haynes, assistant editors; Dave Mazroff, sports editor; Franklin Todd, circulation manager, and A. G. Thomas, artist. In addition, of course, they have a staff of workers, typists, columnists and feature writers; mimeograph operators, clerks, cte, who take care of the distribution of their magazine weekly, boasting a circulation of close to 5,000. Needless to say the entire staff is composed of prisoners, some of whom have had training in publication work in the free world, while most of them are prison-trained, having taken correspondence courses of various kinds and Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES The chief needs of employees of the United States Government who have Civil Service status, are: honesty, courage, common sense, knowledge and vision. The majority of the employees are far on the first four above named characteristics, but are sadly deficient in the latter. Particularly is this so among the colored government employees. If they enter the service as a messenger they seem satisfied to so remain until they are retired. Some seem to resign themselves to their fate and fail to take promotional examinations offered on the grounds that it is so much time wasted. The writer entered the service in 1928 as a temporary substitute laborer at a branch post office sub-station in New Orleans, and managed to gain permanent laborer status in six months. Six months later he passed an elevator conductor's examination and was sent to Washington. Two years later he passed a guard and messenger examination and was mdea a messenger. Six months later, he passed an under clerk examination, and three months later a file clerk examination and eventually gained a clerkship. The writer, according to a certain Mrs. Voorhes, of the Interior Department, has a marked "inferiority complex." If this is true, certainly what a sub-normal individual can do can be done by folks with average intelligence. Mrs. Lucille Foster McMillin, U. S. Civil Service Commissioner, said recently in an address to the Educational Forum of the District Federation of Federal Employee's Unions: "The time has come when we must consider the advisability of beginning in the high schools to train persons for the Civil Service, and to give specific training in the universities for future government workers. This must come if we are to realize our ideal of a perfect Civil Service system." The commissioner called the merit system the best guarantee of economy in public service, and she praised the record established by Civil Service workers under present adverse conditions. Mrs. McMillan has the right idea. I wish that the readers of this column who have children who are public minded will give this suggestion due consideration. Just one tip, they must be able to "take it." E. Claude Babcock, the militant and intelligent president of the American Federation of Government Employees which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, having played a prominent part in getting a partial restoration of our pay cut, is turning his attention toward restoration of leave. Says he: "A vacation is to the year's work what sleep is to the day's work. For two years now government employees have been continuously in uncertainty as to the future; have been submitted to hours and hours of overtime during certain periods and days and days of furlough during other periods. Although these furlough periods permitted absences, employees as a whole were afraid to take them, because the services were in a state of flux and absence might mean disaster. "Employees have been worked up to a nervous tension over the last couple of years, so that if a normal security with normal rest periods is not obtained the service will suffer more and more." Mr. Babcock is the man who resigned a sure $5,600 a year position in the Civil Service Commission to accept the national presidency of the American Federation of Government Employees, which position entitles him to a little over $8,000 a year, and he will be darn lucky if he gets $4,000. His salary, you see, must be taken out of dues paid by members. And Federal employees as a group are ingrates of the first order. Not only will they not compensate those who sacrifice themselves for their well being, but they very often perform their assigned tasks inefficiently, thus letting down the ones by whose "influence" they were placed. (Yes, most civil service employees received their positions through "influence" and when the "influence" gdes, if they are not careful, they soon follow.) I know whereof I write. The writer, who is a fanatic on the subject of organization, has been sadly disappointed at the lack of vision and ordinary "horse-sense" which the Federal employees of Washington have displayed. Out of some 25,000 colored Federal employees less than 2,500 are financial members of a Federal employee group. Yet when they are imposed upon, abased, or illegally discharged they rush to me and other members of organized groups whose business it is to make such adjustments, and "go up in the air" when we are not able to assist them. Only fools wait until they are rain-soaked to buy umbrellas and rubbers. Think about it. For further information in connection with Federal employees' unions write the editor of Federal News Notes, in care of The Washington Tribune, at 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Prisons and Prisoners then using their prison paper as a medium of expressing their talent. A considerable amount of the prison-trained talent has been demanded by free people. Some of the contributors to The Spectator have also written for free publications, and the staff artist is constantly producting drawings, for free people. About the only free person who contributes to The Spectator is the prison chaplain who, each week, contributes a page so written as to inspire and encourage the inmates to better their condition through 'self-improvement. There is one, and sometimes two pages, that are for the free print on employees only, but this page or pages, is merely an advertisement, cleverly portrayed through illustrations and fancy lettering notifying the prison employees of the various grocery and meat bargains that can be obtained in the Central Community Store operated, at cost, by the prison for the benefit of their free employees. Otherwise, the Spectator is for the benefit of the prison inmate usually, containing a short or continued story written by some prisoner; a special article or two that is always current; several page of sports, detailing the local prizes on sports, as well as the high lights of sports in the free world a page of humor; a page of poetry; an editorial page; a page or two of brain-teasers, puzzles cryptograms; a page of cartoon-seferal pages of strictly prison locals, and a page of advertisement in which the prisoners record articles or services they have for sale or trade. No woman ever had a han ba big enough to hold all she wante to put in it. Some are dumb, and others loo dumb so that they can make a good trade. Everytime we ask anybody to cash a check we wonder if we really look like a crook. I have always endeavored to acquire strict business habits; they are indispensable to every man-Thoreau.

Rudolph Craig Presides The program opened as Louis town and his orchestra swung in "One Minute To One," their theme song. This was followed by a group of popular songs. Then allowed the little jesters in theisons of Ethel Whaley, Maryixon, Miriam Pleasant, and Maryurbaga. The jesters introduced the crowd the master of careers, Rudolph Craig, who sang number and then he in turn introduced Professor John Hipkiss, a musician, who made "Mimble house" appear out of a seemingly odd doll house. Next there was a midget bridal adding in which Augusta Annie alley and Bawane Carroll were bride and groom. The attendants were Hermanita and Herman uth, Maurice Dowing, Albert sellon, Yvonne Beaubian, Harold Stratton, Ramone Thomas, and ly Horad. The following number denotes arrival of spring.

Versatile Myrtle Forecy sang, and also did an acoustic tap dance. Tacobiore Brockton featured as a whaler took "Mighty Like a Rose" as his selection. The novelty singing act with Perry and his sister, with Wood and Claus, rendered several selections, including "The Old Man of the Mountain." Again there was tap dancing, but this time by little Plasid Washington and Sammy Wood.

Another favorite, Miss Juanita Jones, did a very spectacular shadow dance. Last but not least, there was the Hollywood Parade with the debs and cub-debs of the city, accompanied by young men. Each imitated a screen star as follows: Paul Whiteman, Grayer Williams; Nancy Carrol, Elizabeth Funches; Rizardo Cortez, Robert Scurrock; Buddy Rogers, James Cowan; Joan Crawford, Doris Carrier; Kay Francis, Eleanor Hackett; Cary Granb, William Pippin; James Cagney, Mark Chapman; Ann Harding, Dorothy Simmons; Delores Del Rio, Ada Deans; Warren Williams, Phillip Coleman; Clara Ray, Phoebe Broughton; Katherine Heppner, Valerie Kendrick; Nile Aster, Elwood Chilson; John Wiseamueller, Stanley Nelson; Mary Brian, Mary Howard; Greta Carbo, Allie Barrett; Anna Mae Worng, Gwendolyn Barrett; Norma Talmadge, Edna McLeon; Clandette Colbert, Dorothy Parks; Maria Dresler, Francis Parka; Mae West, Mebal Cooke; Constant Bonnett, Ruth Gwens.

After this came the dance and everyone stayed until. Mrs. Mary Goffney, of this city, visited her son, Lawrence, at the A.C.T. College, Greenboro, N.C., over the week-end of April 13. She was accompanied by her two sons, Joe and Watson, and Miss Elizabeth Kelly. Hi-Ka Girls Kollywood Parade PERSONALS PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Singing at the British Embassy the other evening were Messrs. James King, Aurelius Brown, Benjamin Washington, and Melvin Wildy, instructors at the Penn School (probably the oldest school for Negroes in the world and situated on an island off the coast of Beaufort, South Carolina). With the soft appealing strains of "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and "Go Down, Moses," resounding through the large reception rooms you can be almost absolutely sure that Sir Ronald and Lady Lindsay were thrilled beyond measure. * * * * If she has not already gone home don't you hope that Mrs. John Hope(*) will not leave for Atlanta until she gets an unforgettable glimpse of the miles and miles of "brilliant pageantry" now being presented by the Japanese cherry trees. --- Saw Mr. and Mrs. French Carter leaving a smart gathering the other night. What an attractive couple they do make. Speaking of the Carters, have you seen their pretty home at 1400 Franklin Street, Northeast? No? Then mapeuer around some way and get yourself an invitation. **** Have you heard of the charming little Florida Avenue lady (Mrs. Coretta Delaney(*), to be exact), who sang so beautifully at a recital that the accompanying pianist was kept busy trying to find music for the many encores? Finally somebody ran up-stairs, downtown, or some place and got an extra supply of music. Saw the dapper young Chi Delta Mu who sent the pretty blue invitation to the dance the other night. He said he looked about the Masonic Temple auditorium once or twice last Friday evening, and failing to see a certain gawky couple (that's right, he was correctly including me, he disgusted "busted" a bunch of balloons and put us down in his mental ledger as dyed-in-the-wool "liabilities." Too bad he didn't know that on the mumps or measles maybe, or some sickness next of kin could possibly have kept your's truly away from the Chi Delta Mus. A hint to the ladies. If you have lovely wavy gray hair, do get yourself a red dress. Not a flaming red, but a soft subtle shade that lends bewitching richness to the wearer. Add some shining earrings and a gorgeous white gardenia and unless I miss my guess you'll really make a charming picture. Mrs. H. M. A. Lee(*)*, of 9 lown Have you ever seen an usher waking up some person who has fallen asleep as you leave the theatre after the last show? Well, there's a baby prize waiting for the kind soul who will wake up Richard Johnson (no relation to R. Johnson of Columbia Street) and tell him it's time to go home. His show (Susie Chloe) has been over for over a year. I shall arrange to have R. V. Winkle meet Brother Johnson. It seems that some girls just can't help themselves. A certain Dunbar teacher found it necessary to stop his lecture in order to ask Evelyn Lacy to leave the young man seated across the aisle from her alone for a while. I must admit she was going strong on the sights and smiles, but after all the classroom is a place for mental development, not a hunting-ground for twentieth century maidens. Imagine the suave Burton Johnson going in for tree climbing. Johnson is lieutenant of the first platoon of company A, Dunbar, winner of the platoon drill. Two minutes before the drill he nearly had a conition (procedure preliminary to running amuck). Some of the privates (mostly "buck") described Burton's case of nervousness as pitiful. Dear Morris: I am a sophomore at Dunbarn High School. I am in love with an officer on the staff. He is a senior. I am not sure that he is in love with me, although from his actions I presume that he might be. My most intimate friends who know him quite well say that he thinks the world of me and they state that I would be a fool to let him slip through my hands. I have quite a few rivals, so I am writing to you for advice on "How to Hold My Man." Your advice would be much appreciated by me. Dear Ducky: You seem to be more worried than is necessary for one so young. Yet, I will do the best that I can. I gather from your letter that the young cadet officer of your choice is the cool, unconcerned type who is accustomed to being sought and who when it comes to making his own choice knows what he wants and how to go after it. Therefore, my advice to you is to keep cool and not to make a fool out of yourself. Always be a sweet little girl. Who knows? You may be the apple of his eye without THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1934 Circle, wore just that kind of a dress to the Literature Lovers' banquet for Dr. C. E. Russell the other night, and her friends are still talking about the gray-haired lady in the soft red dress. ***** The main reason why so many people are rushing around trying to find copies of the new magazine for men called Esquire is that one of the chief contributors to its cartoon section is the popular young artist and humorist, E. Simms Campbell. Mr. Campbell is related by marriage to one of the Doute's that well-known family of New Hampshire Avenue, R Street, and Girard. And they hadn't said a word about the artist (the Doutes are modest you see, as most worthwhile people are), and they wouldn't have known a single thing about Cartoonist Campbell if we hadn't accidentally seen his drawings in the Esquire magazine. Vivacious Mrs. Nellie Warrington, of 28 R Street, can don the simplest sort of a costume and still look chic. Saw her a day or so ago in a black spring coat and a high-necked sweater that exactly matched the orange-colored beret she had perched on one side her sleek dark head. Mrs. Warrington is still beaming with pleasure over the Easter visit she received from petite Miss Jean Carter, one of Philadelphia's charming, schoolma'ams. But the keenest possible kind of a delight came to Mrs. Warrington the other day, and all by way of a special deliver letter. You see, Mr. Warrington (that's Nellie's husband) is teaching in a Mississippi school. And this particular special brought Mrs. Warrington the news that her husband had made a speech over the radio during Negro Health Week that so vividly impressed the president of the Mississippi Board of Health that he wrote a letter of commendation to the teachers and requested a copy of the speech. Smart Mr. Warrington and happy Mrs. Now they tell us that at some of the fashionable sea-shore resorts women are wearing dresses made of toweling. One prominent matron created a sensation by appearing at an evening affair in a gown that was fashioned from 15 soft bath towels. Sooner or later most fads reach our fair city. This one is already here. For walking out Sixteenth Street the other day I saw two aristocratic canines (Pekinese puppies, I think they were) strolling out after their morning bath all dressed up in pretty pink wash-cloths. Who say doggies don't go in for style? knowing it. If the others seek him, make it your business to let him seek you, because he will enjoy the novelty, and in so doing his heart will most likely wind its way to you. We are disappointed again. Our so-called society bunch performed during the holidays at a dance given by the Elks on Fifteenth Street. Hungry for rhythm, they crashed the band stand during intermissio and began to play with the instruments. One of the women in charge of the affair chased them off the stand and played policeman to the instruments. In front of a certain girl's house on S Street that same night, pandemonium broke lose. The people in the block thought that the Ringling Brothers were passing through. The girl's mother asked her to see who was raising all the cain; the girl looked out of the window and saw none other than those who had attended the Elks' dance. The following message is for Lena Sherman only. All others close your eyes (and don't peep). Lena, there is a heart which when in your presence longs to say "I'm satisfied." This message came me through the strange, wind medium of the mysterious supernatural power to read a certain young man's mind. If I add a slouching figure and a rainy night, I'll have the perfect setting for a perfect moister (unnecessary remark No. 10899). The revolting half of the O.C.O.'s (the best yets) agreed to compromise with the other half by consenting to give to the other half it's part of the big money box, if the remaining half would drop the name of O.C.O.'s. After the money was refunded to those who stayed in the O.C.O.'s they refused to change the name. Spring is here. Armbands everywhere and not a stripe on my shoulder. Poor privates. Girls give them a break. The armband racket is worked out as complete as the N.R.A. First the girl thinks a certain officer is all of a sudden cute, then he (thinking he is not stuff) falls for her jibe. A few weeks of heavy faking brings on the armband. All girls are out in search for one, so officers be careful. When a dog bites a man, that's not news; but when a man bites a dog, that is news. But when a w man robs the cradle—well, dragonit, that's not news either. All-way, visit the Meridian Park and watch the lassies perform with innocent baby boys. Just think of some girls taking pictures while embracing the innocent kids (affectionately, too). Readers Research Club Holds Easter Meeting Mrs. Kelly Miller was hostess to the Readers' Research Club, a literary group, at its Easter meeting, held at her residence, 2225 Fourth Street, Northwest, last week. Miss Mae Miller, a member of the Drama League and supervisor of English in the Douglass High School, Baltimore, Md., was guest speaker. Mrs. Maymie Lane, president of the club, presided. Plans for the possible co-operation of literary and dramatic club to foster a Drama League and Little Theatre in Washington were discussed. Guests of honor were Honorable and Mrs. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., who recently observed their fifty-sixth wedding anniversary. Others present included Mrs. J. C.

Early in May a group of post-graduates of Cardozo High School will sponsor a dance and card tournament at the headquarters of the National Association of Colored Women.

TURNER The outstanding affairs of last week could be well summed up as two, the Chi Delta Mu formal and the N.N.A. fashion show. The Chi Delta Mu gave a very enjoyable dance. The hall was very beautifully decorated, the music good and the guests most agreeable. The ladies featured dresses of light spring colors quite sheer, cool and of the latest'styles. Large ruffled or puffed sleeves were very much in evidence; organdies, chiffons and laces seemed the prevailing materials. When the last strains of "Home Sweet Home" were played, there followed a mad rush for wraps and then to the luncheonette for a bite to eat and was it good after it was served? Some lost their appetite waiting—but after all, there were plenty of things to talk about and fun to be had—so stop complaining. I. H.N.A. "Bal Vogue" was well attended. The fashion parade was uniquely arranged and displayed many kinds of frocks from kiddies to grown-ups. The feature attraction was the "Carica" arranged and taught by Miss Audrienne Marshall. This week featured the "Odds and Ends Revue," Tuesday evening, by the choir of St. Luke's Church. As I write I can't tell you about it for it "hasn't happened yet" so look for details next week. Scheduled also for this week, Thursday night, is the Spring Dance of the South Carolina Club at the Connellon. Those who cared for basketball certainly enjoyed the Celtics and Rennaisance at the Masonic Temple on Tuesday evening. Well folks, get ready for the ultra Palm Beach Dance to be featured by the Mu-So-Lit Club on April 27. The Chatterbox Club met last Saturday evening with Mrs. Beulah Ramsey, 1328 Twenty- second Street, Northwest. Those present included, guests: Cliffie Maney, Blandell Gross and Esther Chapman.

I might say, Selections from the Duo Art Grand Reproducer were also played. Refreshments were in abundance.

It was the pleasure of the writer to know Mr. Trotter for a number of years, and to have the pleasure at long intervals to be in his company—to know some of his thoughts, aims, objects and desires. First, Mr. Trotter was in possession of an orderly mind. Second, his body contained a courageous heart; and third, if there is such a thing as being in possession of an unmala soul, he possess it. After saying that he used all three of the above described possessions in a long, cruel and ever painful effort to carry his race forward, what more is there to say? And so we say, good bye, Mr. Trotter, good bye until tomorrow. EDITOR. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond M. Smart of 906 Forty-fifth Place, Northeast have as their house guest, the latter's mother, Mrs. Bessie C.

(ANP)—Figures made public by the State Health Department here during the observance of Negro Health Week revealed that the homicide death rate for Negroes of the State of Alabama was 4.3 times that of whites. Most of the deaths are due to the killing of Negroes by members of their own race. Dr. W. T. Fale, statistician for the Health Department, said: "In 1933 the homicide rate for the Negroes of the state increased from 41.5 per cent 100,000 population in 1932 to 48.2. The Negro homicide death rate was 4.3 times the death rate from homicides for the white population of the state. "Such a high homicide rate presents a grave problem for the colored leaders of Alabama. The Negro must learn that the life of another cannot be snuffed out without cheapening the value of his own life and that all members of his race." Dr. Cobb Elected Dr. Roscoe L. McKinney, professor of anatomy, School of Medicine. Howard University, attended the American Association of Anatomists at the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, March 29, 31.

'Tis bad, son. Nuf sed. Dear Creditor: Here is some of the reasons why I cannot pay my note: My present financial condition is due to the effect of Federal laws, state laws, county laws, Corporation laws, by-laws, mother-in-laws, and outlaws, that have been foisted upon the unsuspecting public. Through these various laws I have been held down, held up, walked on, sat on, flattened and squeezed until I do not know where I am, what I am, and why I am. These laws compel me to pay merchant's tax, capital stock tax, income tax, real estate tax, property tax, auto tax, gas tax, water tax, light tax, cigar tax, street tax, school tax, Syntax and carpet tax. The government has so governed my business that I do not know who owns it. I am suspected, expected, inspected, disrespected, examined, re-examined, until all I know is that I am supplicated for money for every known need, desire or hope of the human race, and because I refuse to go out and beg, borrow, or steal money to give away, I am talked about, cussed, recused, discussed, talked to, talked at, lied to, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed until I am nearly ruined. So the only reason I am clinging to life is to see what the hell it is all about.— Chols. Did you know that companionate marriage is for girls who want to get married in the worst way; and that no matter how lightly opportunity knocks on a girl's door, the landlady will hear him; and that when two objects come together with some force heat is generated, but force is not always necessary; and that courtship may be a panorama of beautiful secrecy, but marriage is the same old wallpaper; and that you should not pay any attention to the old maid who objected to the red traffic light hanging outside her door, because it is just a little reflection on her room; and that when a girl tells you that she knows you like a book, look out, she is about to put you on the shelf; and it is all right to marry a girl as pretty as a picture, that is if she has a nice frame; and that Chols is hungry, and this is foolish, and if you read this you are foolish, and if you keep on reading you will be hungry, so I'll be seeing you.

In the home, your Tribune is received weekly. Where it is not issued in my name it comes to the family nevertheless. It gives me a great feeling of pride when I see any periodical issued by our group and I always make it my business to boost our own whenever I have an opportunity to do so.
