BANK SUES FOR $25,000 BAKER BOND THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE who has a feature role in "Stevedore." New York's latest dramatic sensation. The play has been lauded to the skies by an army of metropolitan drama critics, the play which proved an instantaneous hit, is a complete sell-out up to June 16.—Crispus Attucks News Service. FUGITIVE PULLS OFF 5th ESCAPE FROM OFFICIALS Auto Thief Slips from His Cell While Turnkey Purchases Gum A man-hunt almost equal to that in the West for John Dillinger, bank robber, got under way, Friday, when local police asked those of virtually every Atlantic Coast City to join in the search for James Harley, 23, convicted for automobile theft, who slipped from a Twelfth Precinct cell in his fifth escape from the law. Harley, also suspected of several holdups, escaped while a turnkey was buying him a package of gum. When the officer went out, Harley tore out a plumbing fixture, crawled through a hole behind it, climbed to the top of the cell block, and when the turnkey returned he sneaked out the door through the rear of the precinct. Nabbed in Philly The fugitive had just been recently returned here from Philadelphia, after breaking out of the District Jail. He climbed through a ventilator and lowered himself from the roof on a rope made by knotting about a dozen sheets. Bullets from the guns of two guards accompanied him in his flight. Harley's record includes escapes from a prisoners' van at the Court, House, the Accoquan workhouse, and the Charles County, Md., jail at La Plata. His description has been broadcast to the principal Eastern cities. EX-SHAW STUDENT HELD FOR THEFT Attempting to dispose of one of seven microscopes alleged to have been stolen from Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C., several weeks ago, Charles W. Gilliam, 24, a suspended student of the institution, was arrested by Dtective Sergeant C. E. Warfield, white, Friday, and held for North Carolina authorities. According to police here, Gilliam is alleged to have sold the instruments valued at $1,600 for $84 in several local second-hand stores. James H. Taylor, 63, of 423 Twenty-third Street, Northwest, died, Monday, as the result of being beaten in the head with a brick and then stabbed to death by another man during an argument over a dice game in the 2500 block of E Street, Northwest. Taylor was pronounced dead upon arrival at Emergency Hospital. Members of the Homicide Squad are investigating the killing. Wins by Most Impressive Vote Given a Candidate for That Office INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Special to The Tribune)—Henry J. Richardson, Jr., author of Indiana's now famous Anti-Discrimination Labor Law, has been nominated as Democratic state representative from Marion county for a second term by the most impressive vote ever given a candidate for that office, according to final returns of the primary election held last Tuesday. With fifty candidates entered in the race for the eleven representative nominations, Mr. Richardson polled more than 17,500 votes to win third place in what is said to be the bitterest fought primary in years. The vote for the first place candidate was only 20,000. Richardson received more colored votes than any of the 21 colored candidates running for nominations for various offices. His candidacy was given the unstinted endorsement of practically every large and important democratic and civic organization in the country. RANDOLPH HERE CHAMPIONS CAUSE OF R. R. PORTERS President of Brotherhood Attending Hearings on Railway Labor Act A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, arrived in Washington, Monday, to attend the hearings on the amendments to the Railway Labor Act before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The hearings began Tuesday, under the chairmanship of Congressman Samuel Rayburn The amendments to the Railway Labor Act, drafted by Joseph B. Eastman, coordinator of Federal Transportation, are designed to set up an entirely new machinery and procedure for the adjustment of disputes in the railway industry that may arise between the employees and the carriers. The new act will supercede the existing Railway Labor Act and abolish the present U. S. Board of Mediation, says Mr. Randolph. While in Washington, Mr. Randolph stated that he will interview a number of senators and congressmen to get them committed to the support of the bill, and also conduct an organization campaign among the porters. There are 54,242 teachers in schools for Negroes.

W. BAKER The three little children of Mrs. Lucie Oliver, of 240 Third Street, Southwest, aged 9, 5, and 3, respectively, started out to play at a recreation park near their home, Saturday evening, after their mother gave them a refreshing draught of cold lemonade. They trudged out the house and to the curbing in front of their home. Halting momentarily, they looked North and South on Third Street to watch for autos, against which their mother had so frequently warned them. During a full in the traffic, the oldest child darted across the street, leaving her five-year-old sister and her three-year-old brother, William, behind. Safely traversing the street, the girl stood on the opposite curb to await the other two children. With childish eagerness to join his sister on their playful mission, little William scampered from the curb to the west side of the street, his youngest sister following closely behind. Struck by Fender A new Ford Eight, driven by Harrison Berry, 26, of 727 Harvard Street, Northwest, a fireman in one of the local schools, loomed up suddenly. There was a skidding of rubber tires, a little cry, and a scream. Then the left fender of the auto struck the tot and his body fell under the machine. While a horrified crowd began to assemble, Edgar Williams, a chauffeur, of 231 Third Street, Southwest, who was nearby, bundled the (Continued on page 8) College Women to Honor Representative DePriest In recognition of the fight waged by Representative Oscar DePriest in interest of the manhood and legal rights of the colored race in America, a special project committee of the College Alumnae Club has issued invitations to a dinner, June 2, at 8 o'clock in the ballroom of the Masonic Temple. Helen L. Sparks, secretary of the committee, stated Tuesday that reservations were being made for this formal affair at a rapid rate, expressing her belief that this was especially due to Representative DePriest's activities in connection with the District of Columbia. Esther Popel Shaw is president of the club. Committee members include Muriel A. Milton, chairman; M. C. Lee, treasurer; Helen L. Sparks, secretary. Judge Gives Caveman 3 Months' Vacation Ninety days vacation was given Leroy Menkin, 22, by Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court, Friday, after Menkin was found guilty of using cave-man tactics on Ruth Harriday, 26, of 418 N Street, Northwest. The trouble began when Menkin insisted on taking Ruth to a movie. She refused. The young woman told the judge that when she refused Menkin's company, he ripped off her clothes and chased her from the house into the street. Miss Harriday was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for lacerations of the ear and back of the neck. Attorney B. L. Gaskins Says Post Editorial Gross Insult to Negroes NEGRO CONGRESS HONORS LEWIS AT FINAL MEETING The Negro Congress of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. closed its regular Thursday night meetings for the summer, May 17, with a testimonial in honor of Morris Lewis, Jr., who has served as the leader of this group since it was organized in January under the service department of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The testimonial was presented by Mrs. Lillian B. Gee, one of the members of the Congress; Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the branch, spoke on behalf of the committee of management of the Y.M.C.A. Dr. Howard H. Long, chairman of the service department committee, spoke on behalf of that committee: Horace G. Christopher, the service secretary, stated that the Congress would resume its activities next fall at which time the Y hopes to be able to contact every club, church, fraternal and all other organizations to urge their co-operation in enlarging this study group. "The congress," he added, "was organized by the service department of the Y.M.C.A. for the study of parliamentary procedure, organization and leadership. The course is free and should appeal to the people of Washington who expect to be leaders." In accepting the testimonial, Mr. Lewis stated that he enjoyed the service and was willing to lead the group again next fall. He was accompanied by Mrs. Lewis. Others on the program were Walter Todd, who recited an original poem, and A. Langston Taylor, chairman of special features committee of the Y.M.C.A., who presided. Attorney B Editorial G Articles Claims No Negro Here Qualified for Judgeship Characterizing an editorial in the Tuesday morning Washington Post as an insult to the colored lawyers of the District, Benjamin L. Gaskins, prominent member of the Washington bar, protested to the editors of that paper for "the insult to a hard working group of your fellow citizens." The Post editorial as well as other local dailies have been advocating the reappointment of Judge James A. Cobb to the Municipal Court bench. Judge Cobb's time expired some time ago. He was appointed by a Republican administration. The editorial claimed that "it has been freely admitted that another colored jurist measuring up to Judge Cobb's standards cannot be found in Washington." Mr. Gaskins denies this statement and says the editorial is an insult to the colored citizens of Washington. He also points out that the post now held by Judge Cobb was once held by the late Judge Robert H. Terrell, who was also known as one of the most able jurists to hold office in that court. Cobb Seeks Bench Wie outstanding candidate for the post now held by Judge Cobb WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1934 Amount Claimed Due for Alleged Dishonesty of Edward Baker Twenty-five thousand dollars to cover losses sustained through the reputed dishonesty acts of Edward A. Baker, former cashier of the merged Prudential Bank, under the provisions of a bond, is asked in a suit filed recently in the District Supreme Court by W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the Industrial Bank. The suit was filed against the Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company of New York, with local offices in the Woodward Building. Assets and liabilities of the Prudential Bank were taken over by the Industrial Bank when the two corporations were united under a merger consummated on September 27, 1932. Under Indictment Edward and his brother, Clarence Baker, also a former employee of the Prudential Bank, were indicted by the District Grand Jury in March on 12 separate counts charging misuse of funds and embezzlement. The petition avers that the insurance company gave a banker's blanket bond to the Prudential Bank to insure against any direct loss of money, securities, or property, not exceeding $25,000 through the dishonesty on the part of any employees. Despite proof of losses and repeated demands, the petition states that the insurance company has not paid the amount in question. Losses Exceed Bond The bill further stated that Edward Baker, during his employment in the Prudential Bank, "caused or occasioned a direct loss to the bank by certain acts of dishonesty on the part of said Edward A. Baker including larceny, embezzlement, larceny after trust, destruction of property, wrongful abstraction, misappropriation and various other sundry thefts of moneys, securities and properties. Said loss is in excess of the amount covered by (Continued on page 3) A. S. S. ATTORNEY B. L. GASKINS is Armond W. Scott, well known Democrat who has been a supporter of the party for over 25 years. Mr. Scott was recommended to President for the position by Attorney. General Cummings. Following the recommendation the white bar association protested against the selection of Mr. Scott and asked that Mr. Cobb be retained by the President. Postmaster (General) Farley recently let it be known that Mr. Pres. Mordecai Johnson to Deliver Baccalaureate Sermon in Stadium CEREMONY SPEAKER NOT YET CHOSEN Fashion Revue, R.O.T.C.

Since the appointment of Mr. Scott was held up, hundreds of organizations from all sections of the country have flooded the White House with endorsements of Mr. Scott and urged his appointment by the President. Mr. Gaskins' letter to the Post editor follows. To the Editor of the Post, I am a colored lawyer. I am a Republican. I do not possess the qualifications necessary to make a successful or competent judge in any court; am not now, never have been, and never will be a candidate for such a post. My friends know that I am sincere in this. I am very proud of the juristic ability and reputation of James A. Cobb. I had hoped that he would have been re-appointed. But I think that the supporters of Mr. Cobb have exhibited extreme bad taste in indulging in "odious" comparisons between his (Continued on page 3) LATEST Washington News NOW ONLY 5C DUCER JURY TOLD OF "HONOR SLAYING" --- PETER H.

Roosevelt, rushed across the highly polished floor of the East Room to the aid of a colored delegate who fell unconscious to the floor in a faint before the eyes of the President's wife, last week. The girl. Miss Frances Glasgo, 19, daughter of a prominent Presbyterian minister of Pittsburgh, the Rev. Benjamin F. Glasco, was one of a delegation of students from Cheyney Teachers' College, Cheyney, Pa. The group was attending the Youth Peace Parade and demonstration arranged by the Women's International League and headed by Miss Elizabeth K. Wheeler, daughter of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler. The call at the White House climaxed the demonstration. The leaders presented petitions signed by thousands of their fellows, asking President Roosevelt to head a movement for complete world disarmament, which was received by Mrs. Roosevelt. The President's wife had told the delegation that she believed firmly in peace, but had come to realize that disarmament must be mutual, and that to disarm while other nations continued armaments would not be avisable. Falls in Faint Suddenly the young woman fainted and there was a dull thud. Mrs. Roosevelt halted her speech and dashed across the open space of poliated floor in front of a semi-circle of students, six rows deep. Ordering White House attendants to see that Miss Glasco was given proper attention, Mrs. Roosevelt declared apologetically to the crowd "I'm afraid I kept you standing too long. I realize it's hot and I shouldn't have kept you so long. The unconscious girl was carried to a settee and then out of the room, where she was revived in a short while. The father of Miss Glasco is a close friend of the Rev. H. T. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, this city. Price 5 Cents Copy Parent Leaves Scene of Shooting, Later to Give Himself Up Apparently seeking to avenge the honor of his 17-year-old unmarried daughter who recently gave birth to a boy, Thomas Johnson, of 743 Morton Street, Northwest, father of six children, fatally shot William Byrd, 30, of 1406 Tenth Street, Northwest, Thursday evening, when the two met on the street in the 700 block of Lamont Street. Byrd died on the following day at Garfield Hospital with three bullet wounds which perforated his chest and stomach. Johnson fled from the scene of the shooting in an auto but was surrendered by his attorney, William Shea, to Detectives R. F. McCarty and R. L. Jones, of the Tenth Presinct, at the District-Maryland line, Friday. Admits Shooting Johnson was held by a coroner's jury Monday, for the action of the grand jury after Detective Sergeant A. M. Toulson, of the Homicide Squad, unfolded his story of the "honor slaying" and other witnesses described the actual shooting. The shooter was questioned at headquarters before Sergeants Darnall, Flaherty, and Toulson, and admitted the shooting the latter testified. Descriging Johnson's movements leading up to the slaying, Sergeant Toulson stated that Johnson got off from his duties at the Bureau of Standards, at 4:30 p.m., Thursday. He went home and had dinner with his six children, Sticking his revolver in his pockets, Johnson drove over to the 700 block of Lamont Street and parked his automobile. The man is then reported to have started across the street to a lunch room operated by Robert E. Brown of 709 Lamont Street, when he met Byrd. Sergeant Toulson testified further that Johnson declared that Byrd started towards him. Admonishing the man whom he felt had wronged his daughter, the father fired once when his remarks were ignored. As Byrd fell, Johnson is said to have fired two more shots. The wounded man, according to the testimony, jumped up and started running towards Sherman Avenue and Lamont Street. The enraged father is said to have fired again when it appeared that Byrd was taking something from his pocket. Byrd fell again and Johnson fled. Daughter Names Byrd The trouble between the two men dates back to July 1933. Ser- (Continued on Page 3) WOMAN AND TWO MEN INDICTED IN DEATHS OF THREE Homicide indictments were returned by the District Grand Jury against three persons, one woman and two men, last week. Irene Anderson was charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of John P. Waters, of 1517 Swann Street, Northwest, on April 24th. Benjamin Reed and John E. Carter were both charged with manslaughter. Reed is accused of fatally injuring Thomas Hughes by hitting him with milk bottle, on November 19. Carter is alleged to have been the driver of an automobile, which after a collision at New Jersey Avenue and L Street, swerved toward the sidewalk and struck David Fitzgerald, fatally injuring him.

Yet on that day an event took place that rocked the very foundations of the civilized world and established these same colored peo- ple as a race equal-in courage and daring, equal in all respects of humanity, to any race that the world’ has ever known. On the afternoon of June 18, 1914, crowds lined the streets of Serajevo, waiting for a glimpse of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, A strange tension hung in the air. For a crowd given over to emotional outbursts and wild waves of cheering, these folks were strangely, silent. Then he appeared, his. wife at his side, military es- cort preceding him, resplendent in his imperial “uni- form.’ Suddenly from the packed throng a man edged his way close to the passing car. A quick dash, a flash of steel, and then the short, nervous explosion of ‘a revolver. In one brief moment the man in uniform became a slumped, inanimate thing and on the breast of the woman beside him there ap- peared a-slight red trickle of blood. Suddenly the crowds broke loose from their apathy, ‘Wild cries rent the air, the cries of a people suddenly aflame with the lust of blood. And from the streets of Sarajevo" tliese cries awakened a whole world, plunged it into darkness and shambles, stripped off the thin mask of ‘civilization and revealed it in all its awful fury, a primeval beast, nostrils dilated with the smell of the:dead and wounded, a torch in. one hand and a.sword in the other, And from all:parts of the world ‘they came, white men and black’men, young and old. Gone were race lines, religious lines, color lines. The whole world became brothers, united in a common cause—to- kill forever the dread apparition of war. And.so for four years men fought side by side, ate the same meals, slept in the same mud-filled trenches, died with the same prayer on their lips, and, fought for the same ideals. And curiously enough it took a World War to make men realize that heroism and courage and high ideals were not confined to the color of a man’s skin, but the color of his heart. It tookia world war to make men realize that they were just men and nothing more. ee tS : hi ry Bo & : ms oe h : a ad Ne det Ba 9 we re ae” TD ae .

High School Boys First to Become Eagle Scouts ATLANTA, Ga.—The first two colored boys in the state of Georgia to become eagle scouts received the insignia of that rank from the hands of E. Stanley Harris of New York City, national Boy Scout Commissioner in charge of interracial work, last Sunday. The two scouts, Edmund Allen, senior in the Atlanta University Laboratory High School, and Robert Johnson, Jr., senior in the Booker T. Washington High School, are members of Scout Troop 90, of which Andrew J. Lewis, Morehouse College senior, is scoutmaster. Camp Clarrisa Scott Calls the Girls Camp Clarrisa, Scott, Girl Reserve recreational center located on Black Walnut Creek near Highland Beach, Maryland, is said to be one where all sorts of healthful activities and amusements are provided for girls. Both the administration building and the grounds are supplied with every convenience to offer pleasure for the campers. One of the chief interests is an eagle's nest over fifty years old. Besides the occupied space for the sports equipment, the ground affords sufficient room for any other outdoor game desired. In regard to the activities Miss McGowan stated that the hayrides taken every Thursday for ten or The Younger Set By MORRIS MURRAY and JAMES R. WOOD Here are some sound facts that prove that you can't keep a good man down. Once there was a tall, slick-haired youth who was struggling to get a regular place on the PETER Douglass Hi (at Baltimore) basket ball team. After many disappointments, he finally succeeded in getting the much desired place. It wasn't long after that, that this same lad was captain of the team. Not only was he captain, but he was a much admired star in the athletic world around that neck of the woods. During his years in high school he also exhibited the ability to sing, and together was his buddy, Jerome Carrington, formed a team. Jerome was an artist at the piano and organ, and after playing around the city for a time, accepted an offer as organist at the Regal theatre in Chicago, which split the team. After leaving school we find the young basketball star playing with his church team—but the music in him was demanding an outlet, so he donated his services to Ike Dixon's band, singing at basketball games and so on. Somehow, the public little realized the genius in its midst so this ambitious young man struggled on. Then came the Regent theatre where he offered his services for nothing at all—all the while developing a style of vocalizing, all his own. Next, New York! The mecca of the theatrical world! This determined, conscientious youth sought her refuge and who should emerge from the one and only Broadway but his Royal Highness of Hi-de-ho, Cah Calloway! Friday, 10:30 a.m. The 100th Street Street. Event—The Prevaricator's dansante, the social event of the week. Picture to yourself, tall, lanky girls in little kiddies' dresses. The house was jammed and packed, with all corners under lease. Norris tickled the ivories to perfection, producing fifteen miles and the building of camp fires every Friday during which "weenies" and marshmallows are roasted, songs are sung, and stories told, provide extra amusement. The campers present a program every other Saturday evening consisting of dramatics, music, folk-dances and stunts. This usually draws large crowds from nearby Highland Beach. The girls also enjoy parties, boat rides and long hikes through the woods where they study different forms of nature. At the end of the season many types of handicraft work made by the girls is displayed. The camp diet, according to Miss McGowan includes three wholesome foods that build health and strength. This camp provides for resourceful leadership and contacts are a part of the daily routine. Parents, friends, and visitors are welcome at any time. My Childhood Days I am Longing for my childhood, Oh how happy I would be. Could I listen to the old songs, I heard on my mother's knee Some times I think that I can feel That tender loving hand Her singing too, until my thoughts Waft into slumberland. How well I remember the brook, In which I used to play The tree near by there in the shade I passed the time away. Listening to the mocking birds, That sang with merry glee, Filling my heart with gladness With joy from care were free. But time have passed away and caused, Those days to take their flight, I cannot see the school that filled, My-heart with much delight, Nor the old church I attended. And sang those songs of yore, Those days have gone beyond recall Yes, gone forevermore. WALTER E. TODD.

Condition of floor—bumb, as usual.*** The Dunbar Scandals, directed by James Cowan, has all the possibilities of being a swell production. After the dance it had better be. But can you feature a director using a traffic whistle to get, order (no reflection on the students)? There are military, waltz, tango and numerous other novelty numbers. Ah, we mustn't forget those crooners. Of course they'll, be there. What would a good ole juicy cherry pie be without the seeds? Well, it won't be long before school will close.

What I Love I love the blue grass on which we tread. I love the blue sky above my head; I love the sun that shines so bright I love the stars that glitters light; I love the summer and the spring With the birds that merrily sing; I love the trees and woods so green Where the flowers, buds, and blossoms are seen. Including MOTHER I love and adore.

And so on, you know, the same ole thing, any excuse to get together. We feel that this column will be very useful in letting you in on the "goings on." Anyway, it won't be a bad idea to keep the ole gang together because next year the same ones will be back at the Community House. (Dunbar). By the way, there is going to be quite a bit of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth when the good ole graduation rituals come off. The old "home-steaders" won't be affected though, they've been at the "House" so long they're used to it. Nevertheless, carry on Honor Society! Keep up the good work! No applause from the "home-steaders." Dunbar is proud of you. Somebody blew a "Bronx cheer" out there in the bleachers—must have been some of the Communist element that has arisen around these parts lately.

MAY 24. 1934 -live and learn Hi-De-Ho-Everybody. This is your favorite program over the International News System's outlet, Station W.T.O. (Washington Tribune Office) bringing you the latest and most interesting news in a humorous way. Last week, I had Freddie Davidson as an assistant, this week I am using "The Snooper" for a change. Of course Freddie will be back shortly. So don't have a change of heart!—Well here goes. The Boys' Glee Club of Armstrong gave its annual concert in the auditorium on Thursday. One of its members, Steven Wiggins, directed. Among the artists were Vernon Reynolds, graduate of 1931, and Oliver Simms, of Miner Teachers' College. Soloists on the program were William Kenny, well known singer from Baltimore; John Miller, member of the Dixie Reveries, Station WOL; and Thomas Warren. A dance was held by the Girl Reserves in the school's gymnasium-Friday. At Dunbar, the athletic Association held a dance on Friday also. Ernest Marshall is disgusted with a certain writer for a recent report on the armband situation. Now for a bit of humor. —Yas-suh!—When Joseph Allen escorted M. B. to Garfield Park, he probably forgot his engagement to D. J. A certain Armstrong captain said he could not sit in the Walker Stadium grandstands. Did he want to keep the seat of his pants clean? G. Anderson and his friend had police escort from Buzzard's point to Third and F Streets recently. Was he mistaken for Dillinger? A. Smith does not know that M. H. can beat her time with the president of the Rondaliers. Too bad she does not know Myrtle like I do. It seems as though J. D. belongs to Alice T. now, or is it C. S.? We would like to know if Marjoria H. of Linden Street cares anything for George? He seems pretty serious over her. James L. has gone back to his old flame, Clara. Shorter. Don't let smoke get into your eyes, Snags! James Diggs went to camp with the other eighty men of chainers gangs. Which one is it Rose, R. White or M. . ood? Babe Williams couldn't make Fatima see things his way. Is it the real reason why he ran slow in the relay? Everybody except Boo can see that M. B. doesn't want him. Who is this Sarah that is so crazy about Mike? Beal says "Soon" King should buv white shoes too enough. Chick has a car called the "Sunk Roach B. el. fix." R. W. long Solit Personality Boys. Earl Davis stands on a certain corner from six in the morning till one at night. Too bad he plays the role of greyhound for Dorothy Ashton. It's a habit of Howard H. to attempt to close all airways. Why did Furman Lee quit little Miss Pauline Simms for Lillian Bell? Was Pauline too young? Why is it that E. M. and W. S. are after the same girl? L. S., G. G. seems to be playing two in one (no, not shoe polish). Who does A. C. visit on Howard Road? It can't be Percy Taylor's old flame. Louise S. We would like to know who will be the lucky one to receive an armband from Senator Elmore? Why is it that Inez Truitt is so jealous because a certain cadet Lieutenant Charles G. likes a young co-ed of Cardozo? Get wise Irene C. because Robert Barnes seems totally interested in Florence Ford of Eye Street. Who is this Gladys that Malsom J. tries to jive? Did you notice "Wrinkle" Stone's straw? We are wondering why did Pearl Ellis break friendship with Inez "Cry-baby" Truatt. I wonder if Philip was the cause? Who is the young lady who told Mildred Shetton that her outfit looked like the gay nineties? Why is it that Guy Knorl is stuffing Eugene V.s.head? Why is Ruth Boyd so much interested in Jesse F.? I wish to correct an error made by a fellow columnist. In trying to criticise me, he made an error in spelling my name. Also finding no other faults, he tried to rank. But failed! By calling Dumbar his territory he forgets that a columnist may yet obtain information. Through the cooperation of the Snooper we expect to look in on Cardozo for a change. Flash! Flash! A certain Captain at Tech was hurt in an accident with his friend (B.D.) on a Capitol Transit Bus on Saturday (a fight of course!). Why did M. S. get a headache when B. H. came around to L. M.'s, Sunday night? Sorry, Maurice. We are signing off. Howard Christian Writes Miner College Song Miner Teachers' College students acclaimed the song written and presented as a possible Alma Mater by Howard Christian, junior, at the mid-week assembly last week.

Hold me back that in my haste Beauty may not go to waste. Calmly let me walk and see Earth and sky and stream and tree. Teach me so that I may read Symbols of my fellow's need. Let me not press forward blind, Heedless, thoughtless and unkind. Let me some enchantment give To the years I have to live. Lord, as I enjoy the trees, Song of bird and hum of bees, Stream and sky and plant and vine. So may this brief life of mine Now and then some joy hestow On all those I chance to know.

The Last Judgement Studies in Matthew By the Rev. W. A. Thomas The Last Judgement Studies in Matthew By the Rev. W. A. Thomas Golden Text—We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ—II Cor. 5:10. Introduction That there are two judgments and two resurrections are plainly recorded in the Bible. The first judgment (trial and test) begins in the house of God (the church); also the first resurrection (I Peter 4:17) (Rev. 20:6). The second judgment will be the living nations, and the second resurrection will be the dead nations; and both the living and the resurrected dead will be judged (tried) by Christ and the saints (I Cor. 6:2) when He comes in His kingdom (I Peter 4:18) (II Tim. 5.1). The same information St. Paul conveys to us in the "Golden Text" and also in the lesson. The Living and the Dead Nations Judged (tried and tested) (Vs. 21,34) The 31st verse says that Jesus and his holy angels (saints) will come and sit on his throne, and the nations will be gathered before him (Acts 17:31) (Jude 14) and He will separate these nations as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats (Rev. 20:12) and after they have passed their judgment (trial) they will be rewarded according to their works. The reward will be to inherit everlasting life in the kingdom that was intended for man at its foundation when God gave it to Adam in the beginning. (Matt. 5:5). For What Will the Sheep Class be Rewarded? This trial of the living and resurrected nations will not be like the trial of the church during the "gospel age" because Satan NEW BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH The Rev. Theodore R.

They will be rewarded according as they have administered unto the hungry who needed spiritual food and natural food, spiritual drink and natural drink, spiritual clothes and natural clothes; sin sick and bodily sick, in the earthly prison and the prison house of death (the grave). In the 37th, 38th and 39th verses the sheep class (the justified) will ask, when saw we these things, and came unto thee? The King will say, "inasmuch as we have done it unto the least of my brethren ye have done it unto me." This will be the judgment trial in which every man will be rewarded according to his works. (Rev. 20:11, 12, 13) The Disposal of the Goat Class or Wicked The putting into operation of this will take place during the reign of Christ. Those who have the goat disposition, refusing to obey the King's command by their attitude toward the least of these brethren, as the sheep did, and still being under the curse (death) 'the King will say. "Depart from me into everlasting fire, ye cursed, prepared for the devil and his angels." This transaction will take place at the end of the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ. It is described in Rev. 20:7-15. The everlasting fire and brimstone is translated from the Hebrew word "Ghennna" which means the "second death," or total destruction, which is prepared for the devil and his angels, and all who will not accept the King when he has ended his thousand year reign.

The the meet was held, was a scene of g part of a beautiful day. High School Boy Star What proved to be the outstanding performance of a local athlete was turned in by a high school boy, Raymond Tolson, high-jump star of Cardozo. While other representatives of District schools were being defeated or else winning unextended victories, Tolson achieved a record-breaking leap of 6 feet to bring glory to himself and the Purple and White institution. Leroy Scurry, Howard sprinting act, captured the 100- and 200-yard dashes as was predicted. In the former trek Scurry was chased across the finish line by Berry Williams, a Bison teammate. Edgar Lee, former all-round athlete of the Armstrong High School, captured the two-mile run, after having finished second in the mile affair. Norman Fickling, dash star of the Orange and Blue, took the century for Armstrong and then tan second to Brown, of the Wilmington Howard High School, in the 220. Upset Marks Mile Easily the most thrilling race of the afternoon and the result of which left the large number of spectators speechless, was Lipscombe's decisive victory over the much-favored Union ace, Edgar Lee. It took place when the milerace was run. Lipscombe had been taken by Lee in the meeting at Hampton the week before. The Hampton miler, undaunted by the talk of Lee's superiority for the past three years, came back still smarting from the beating given him on his home track and completely subdued the Panther ace. The predicted duel began shortly after the field reached the middle of the back stretch in the second quarter. Lipscombe, aware that he had made his move too soon the week before, ran under strong restraint until the second lap of the four had almost been completed. Then it was that he moved up onto the heels of the leading Richmonder. Lee Completely Subdued Lee, who had broken on top and who refused to be moved by the early bid of Penn, Lipscombe's teammate, when the Pirate carried to the front, resumed the lead as the runners passed the stands for the second time. Going into the first turn of the third quarter, Lipscombe moved up and assists to command. The Flies and Wraps had held on until the sound of Starter Henderson's gun proved that he was entering his last lap, and then it was that he showed his quality. Lee spurted and closed the gap, but only for a moment. The Hamilton responded to his own urging and as the pair went into the back stretch he was running away from his opponent. Lee, his bolt shot, gave up in despair ere the stretch run was reached. The winner appeared still fresh after the tape was broken and ran and jumped about with teammates and admirers for several minutes after his record-shattering performance. New Marks Sturgis, of Morgan, set a new record in the javelin throw, adding 2 feet to the former figure, with a toss of 202 feet $11\frac{1}{4}$ inches. Cromwell, of Bowie Normal, with a jump of 24 feet 3 inches, added 2 inches to the former broad-jump mark. In the mile run, Lipscombe, of Hampton, lowered the record time by 7 seconds, negotiating the distance in 4 minutes 27.5 seconds. A new shot-put record was established by Simpson, of Morgan, while McGee, of Wilberforce, set up TRIBUNE'S BASE ANACOSTIA ATHLETICS, Fu Southeast, Phone, Lincoln ARLINGTON ELKS, Williamington, Virginia.

BLACK SOX TROUNCED BY HILLSDALES Geo. Ford's Outfit Smothered Under 15-Hit Hillsdale Attack; Bland Star MALCOLM, Md.—Three Washington Black Sox pitchers were pounded by Hillsdale batters, in the game which went to the latter team here Sunday afternoon. A total of 15 hits was combed from the offerings of Sinky Robinson, Ev Jeffries and Red Powell to negotiate a decisive 10-1 victory for the 'Dales. Meanwhile Spike Bland, cross-fire artist of the LeDroit Park clan, was pitching superb ball to scatter nine Sox hits over the route. Except in the fourth inning when a sacrifice fly to deep center scored Cleo Smith, the dark-hosed batters were unable to threaten. An error by Turner and a momentary mental lapse by Bland paved the way for the Sox marker in this inning. The entire 'Dale line-up took part in the assault on the Sox pitchers. Turner's three safeties led the attack. Manager George Ford was the principal offender in the batting order of the losers. He connected safely three times in five trips plateward. Two runs in the first and four in the second put the visitors in the lead early, after which the Sox defense became wobbly. French Fans MobAlBrown Bantam Champ Beaten After Disqualification PARIS, France—Convinced that Panama Al Brown, sensational Negro bantamweight champion of the world, was carrying along Gaston Humery, French lightweight boxer, 16,000 enraged boxing fans closed in on the ring and broke up the fight, here last Thursday night. Brown was beaten severely before being rescued by French gendarmes. The mobbing occurred after the colored puglist was disqualified for stalling. The referee halted the bout in the sixth round after having repeatedly warned Brown that he must fight. The crowd rushed the ring, tore down the posts, destroyed the canvas and wrecked ring-side seats. They slugged Brown with their fists; one hit him over the head with a heavy walking stick. At least 20 men were pummeling him when 40 policemen responding to a riot call, rushed the ring and rescued the Negro boxer. He was bleeding and semiconious. The conviction that Brown was carrying Humery along was strengthened by the fact he had knocked out the Frenchman in 20 seconds in a previous bout. Ward Fails in Western Conference Meet CHICAGO (ANP)—A strained tendon occurring during the 100-yard dash, caused Willis Ward, Michigan's ace track performer, to fold up at the Big Ten meet Saturday. Ward had been expected to win the broad jump, high jump, 120-yard hurdles and 100-yard dash. He won the broad jump in the preliminaries Friday, but struck bad luck Saturday in his first event and could not get going thereafter. Nearly 40 per cent of the rural Negro schools still use benches with no desks. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MAY 24. 1934 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Boxing on U Street's in the offing...Lincoln Athletic Club organized during the last week...to sponsor shows at Murray Casino. Just another step forward...all three (Masonic, Colonnade, Casino) started as dance halls...Masonic went to wrestling a couple years back...the Colonnade went from basketball, modified indoor murder, to bowling...Casino's now fast-conscious. But a return to those Wensdy and Saddy matinees might result in surer and quicker knockouts. I'll have mine by rounds, I thank you. Ohio daily papers are saying nice things about Washington's Runt White...they seem to like his ability to bat from either side...Thursday against Otterbein got a single right-handed against left-handed pitching, then turned over for his home run and triple against southpaw hurling. Saturday, got a single on the right side, and a single and double from the other position. Bus Tinnen, while playing with the Deanwood Athletics against the LeDroit Tigers, two Sundays back, got hit on his right arm while batting right-handed. A hand to Milt Robinson, Cardozo all-round athlete...he jumping bare-footed in the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet at the Walker Stadium, last Wednesday. A hard-trying youngster...an average student according to reports from the registrar's office...a good football player...showing improvement in basketball...a fighter on the diamond...not much on the track, but trying nevertheless...and above all, a right likeable chap. That was quite a blow to Edgar Lee when he found himself so completely humbled in the meet at Howard last Sautrud, but that's the reward of real training. Saturday's occurrence was an example of how good condition in athletics can make an inferior competitor a superior antagonist. Make no mistake about it, the Union ace is the better man at distance running—if he's not meeting a man who has taken pains to get himself in excellent physical shape. A nice, luscious raspberry to the Dunbar High School lad who cursed his coach when the latter substituted for him after he had muffed an easy fly in the outfield and struck out twice in critical spots...and a deserving rhrrp for the tutor who permitted him to TAKE PART IN ANYTHING after such an exhibition. The fastest time on record for the 440-relay has been turned in by the quartet of Muir Tech, Los Angeles, Calif., which has three colored boys and one white on it. Harry Wills is still woofing about what he could have done and what he can still do to white heavyweight boxers, Charlie West, one of the aspirants to the open berth at the head of Howard's football coaching staff, played quarterback and called signals on the Washington and Jefferson eleven which played California to a scoreless tie in the Tournament of Roses in 1924. An invitation from Princeton University to Jimmy LuValle to transport him by plane to and from their June sixteenth track meet appears as an indication that the New Jersey school is ready to destroy the barrier that was erected in the dark ages as a protection against invasion of the black student and athlete... and so prepares to crumble another "Great Wall" from the persistent pounding of an irresistible force. Official boxing ratings find no Negroes listed among the ten leaders in the heavyweight division... but there's John Henry Lewis placed at number four position in the list of light-heavies... and there's Gorilla Jones one notch higher among the ten leading middles... but Baby Joe Gans in ninth place, just barely got in with the welters. Young Peter Jackson has climbed to the heels of Barney Ross and Tony Canzoneri, leading lightweights... and Kid Chocolate's announced his intentions of recovering the feather bet vacated by him... and Al Brown of course still rules the bantams... with Jackie Brown near the top of the flies. A press release to be found elsewhere on this page shows a return to form of the "alibi artists" who seem to loathe the idea of writing up the loss of Negro athletes...What if Ward did pull a tendon in the Big Ten Meet?...We steal the thunder of wfolks when we do that "explaining." Was struck by an urgent desire to shoot marbles yesterday...went down to the "municipal" lot at Twenty-fifth Street and Constitution (once B Street) Avenue...but the place was clogged up with college professors, high school students, government workers, doctors, lawyers, boys and girls, all armed with baglooks of golf clubs...out of which only two—mashie and putter—could possibly be of any use. Shenandoah Valley Champions Invade Capital Diamond Sunday Crack Fredericksburg Frog Outfit to Engage Hillsdales in Twin-Bill; Ex-Major Leaguer and High School Boy in Visiting Line-up The Hillsdale A.C., runners-up in the 1933 Tribune Round Robin Baseball Tournament, will play hosts to the Fredericksburg Frogs in a double-header at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday afternoon. The Virginians are slated to arrive in the city in the morning so as to assure promptness in beginning the first game at 1 o'clock. Sunday's encounter will be the first meeting between the two teams for the 1934 season. A series of six games is planned with the next two being played in Fredericksburg, and the deciding encounters in either of the two cities. Headed by Jimmie Shields, former shortstop of the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, the Frogs come to Washington boasting of victories over the 'Dales in the only two clashes between the teams last year.

Grimes's single with two mates aboard decided the first of the two 1933 "Dale loseses. The lad also sparkled with his play at first base during both of these melees. In all probability Jimmie Hughes, star right-hander of the locals, will draw the assignment in one of the two engagements. Joe Wheeler, veteran split-baller who recently joined the 'Dale pitching corps, is likely to be nominated for the other clash.

'Force Wins 3 In a Week Ohioans Continue Winning Ways at Home and Abroad RIO GRANDE, Ohio (Tuesday) —Playing on a muddy field after a heavy rain, the Wilberforce University baseball team defeated the strong Rio Grande collegians, 8-1, here today. The contest went only 7 frames. Rodgers, pitching effectively, went the route for the winners. It was his third mound achievement of the season. Sellers, Clarkson and Hart led the Force willow-wielders. WESTERLY, Ohio (Thursday) —Behind the steady pitching of Peterson, the Big Green nines swamped the local team, 14-2 here today. The bulk of the Force attack was concentrated in the late innings of the contest. Lefty Hinton, after a good start for the home team, was shelled off the mound in a sixth inning avalanche of base hits, after which he was relieved by Evans. Miller's 3 hits were best for the losers' attack. The invading batters were led by Jenkins who contributed 3 hit to the cause. White's home-run. triple were the longest clouts o. the day, while timely hitting was inserted by Hart, Peterson and Sellers. WILBERFROCE, Ohio (Saturday)—Cedarville was 'owned', 16-10, in a slugfest with their ancient rivals, Wilberforce, here today. The winners mixed base-hits with alien errors to garner the verdict. Chizzella, visiting left fielder knocked a pair of homers and a single to head the individual batters for the pastime. Bucs Capture Two Games From Colesville Red Sox The Washington Pirates took the measure of the Colesville Red Sox in both ends of a double-bill on the new grounds of the former at Jackson's Park, Colesville, last Sunday afternoon. The scores were 15-0 and 8-3, the first game being halted when the losers gave up in despair before the contest had reached the sixth inning. Wilberforce Streak Broken Downed by U. of Dayton DAYTON, Ohio—After winning seven straight games the Big Green nine of Wilberforce University bowed to the University of Dayton diamonders here just Saturday afternoon. The final score was 11-5. Colbert on the mound for the home club shut out the Forcecans for six innings and allowed only 5 hits during the game. Nine errors played a prominent part in the loss suffered by the visitors. Rodgers, after 3 victories, hurled well in spite of the defeat. nounced that score-cards with both line-ups will be available at the games.

TIGERS TROUBLED TO WIN PAIR FROM CUBS TIGERS TROUBLED TO WIN PAIR FROM CUBS LeDroit Parkers Extended By Fighting Young Outfit; Nightcap Overtime Lefty George Smith's LeDroit Tigers continued their winning ways by taking both ends of a twin bill with the Washington Cubs, last Sunday afternoon, at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast. The first game went to the Jungaleers, 13-8, and the night-cap was decided, 16-15, in 10 innings. The Cubs jumped the offerings of Hank Williams, Tiger hurler, early in the opening encounter, and pushed over four tallies before the first inning had ended. The Tigers got a pair of runs in their half of the second, but it was not until the fourth stanza that the visitors were torn loose from the lead. Six runs were counted in this frame. The score was again tied by the Cubs in their half of the seventh, but the LeDroits came back in their inning to resume the lead. An even hotter battle was put up by the Cubs in the second encounter. Like in the matinee affair the invaders went to the front in the opening innings. At the halfway mark, however, the Cats came to life and pulled into the lead. Five runs in the eighth and two in the ninth sent the Cubs into the van again, only to be again deadlocked by a two-run Tiger gally in their half of the last innning. The Smith clan pushed the winning tally over after having held their opponents scoreless in the extra frame. BERRY HURLS WELL AS ANACOSTIA WINS Making his initial appearance on the mound for the Anacostia Athletics, Chink Berry, stellar right-hander, hurled mid-season ball to turn back the Washington Orioles, 13-1, on the Anacostia diamond, on last Sunday afternoon. Berry, in giving up only four hits, struck out 10 Bird batters and permitted only two balls to be knocked out of the infield. Meanwhile his teammates were pounding three Oriole flingers for a total of 12 safeties, four of them for extra bases. The big Anacostia pitcher himself connected for a pair of these. Ross, Oriole centerfielder, hit safely on two occasions to lead the losing batters.

Cardozo turned up as the first Poet victims, the score being 10-1. Five runs in the third inning, achieved through concerted hitting and opponents ‘errors, put the game on ice for the Crimson and Black nine. Shelton, though hit hard, hurled good ball'and deserved a better fate. His mates made sev- en errors behind him, Aside from the shaky support riven him afield, the Clerk pitcher Was refused help at the bat. Davis, kis mound opponent, was touched for only two measly bingles, and was thus required to face only 23 batters in the seven innings of play.

Jefferson, newly ap- goiter. head coach of football at ‘irginia State College, visited the scene of his future activities last week for the purpose of contact- ing prospective candidates for the 1934 Trojan team and checking over the equipment on hand. Upon arrival of Coach Jefferson on the campus, the first official an- nouncement concerning the coach- ing staff for next fall was issued by athletic authorities at the col- college. It is now definitely known that “Big Jeff” will head a staff com- posed of Thomas Verdell, former Howard mentor, and James D. (Sunny Jim) Barnes, former Ober- lin College football, basketball and track star, who is now chairman of the department of physical edu- catoin at the college, In all probability Tom Verdell will serve as line coach, while Sunny Jim Barnes wil | have charge of the flankmen. Verdell is slated to arrive carly in June Barnes is. already at the school. In his department the former Bison coach has no superior in the circle where he has served for the last five years.

GREEN VALLEY, Va—Ditivs dotble with two men on base broke up a pitching duel in the tenth inning and gave the Georgetown Athletics the decision over the Virginia Quick Steps, here last Sunday. The first game went to the Washington outfit by a 5-3 margin, and the abbreviated second contest was decided, 7-0, in favor of the visitors, Butler and Virgil Coates hooked up in the opening of the twin bill The contest developed into a ‘slab duel ‘soon after the),call, of, “Play ball.” The Virginians counted” in the first and third innings, but the invaders retaliated with markers in the sixth and eighth. It was not until the two-ply clout in the over- time period that the subsequent winners were able to draw away. Dissatisfied with having barerly nosed out their rivals in the mat- inee, the Dorseymen started early in the nighteap to manufacture the lead with whieh they finished. Ben Ashford, slugging outfielder, con- nected for the circuit in the initial ferson’s aggregation. Jim Barnes was a star end at Oberlin for three years and ranked among the top notehers in the cir- cle in hich his alma mater com- petes. He had coached the ends at State for three years already ‘and will render valuable assistance to Big Jeff in the fall. ‘These three coaches, Jefferson, Verdell, and Barnes, form one of the strongest coaching staffs in the C.LA.A. or in any other conference.

Your writer has seen some good shows and he has seen some bad ones too—some better than Shop Allen's most recent off- fering and lots worse. Tommie Myles's Orchestra, a Chinese contortionist and tumbling act and the vocal efforts of Washington's Billy Eckstein seem to this contemporary to be the only redeeming features of the stage show. He has seen John Mason and Fredi Robinson, comedians, much better. And he was forced to look upon the efforts of Ford, Marshall and Jones as just another tap dance trio. Even the alluring Margaret Simms has done better by Howard Theatre admirers—and that was not necessarily during her pre-declining days. But for all the footlight brigade failed to do toward the entertainment end of the program, Katherine Hephburn's latest starring vehicle, "Spitfire," made up. The fiery Hephburn portrayed the part of a crude mountain girl in splendid style. Her role as "Trigger" calls for superb acting and mastery of hill-billy dialect. She takes care of both with exceptional ease. **** Preview Lcroy Smith brings his sensational symphonic jazz ensemble to the stage of the Howard along with "Connie's Hot Chocolates," which heads direct from Connie's Inn, New York, and begins a one-week stand at the Seventh and T Streets house tomorrow. Peg Leg Bates, undoubtedly the greatest monopod (one-legged guy if you don't collar) on the American stage, will be on hand to do his number. Baby Cox, that singing, dancing bit of feminine dynamite will also gather, an eye or two as will the enticing Avis Andrews. This trio alone, aided by the appealing lyrics as offered yy the Smith out, is sufficient attraction for Shep Allen's rostrum. But along comes the Three Boys and the Lucky Seven Trio (and buleve you me those latter are ready) to take a hand. The comic angle has been placed in the card of the team of Radcliffe and Rogers. Then to top the bill off with another of those typical Barrymore production, the screen is offering the redoubtable John Barrymore as the "Long Lost Father." That title don't sound so hot to me; but I do believe that most anything ... in which this particular star appears will be well worth the use of my "Annie, Oakley." The usual gala midnight show and festival has been scheduled for market-day night. How Week A great big, jovial $50,000,000 railroad magnate gets lonesome at the Raphael this week because his wife has social aspirations, and as a result he finds himself involved in a pair of murders and a romance with a burlesque chorus girl. The picture is called "Upper World," meaning the upper strata of society, as contrasted against the "Underworld," or those persons not belonging in the social world. It was written by Ben Hect, and even Ben Hecht lovers will admit that this is not among his finest works. It's a series of hundrum movie situations, based upon the most trite of all plots, the domestic triangle. So. if you go to find out "why men break the shackles of one woman to become a slave to another," as the advertisements point out, you may be in for a disappointment. Exactly it doesn't point out much of anything, except possibly that Warren Williams, Ginger Rogers and Dickie Moore have nice voices and that they might have done very well with better opportunity. William is the maltreated magnate, Mary Astor is his wife and Ginger is the chorus girl who gives all for her unfortunate love. (She dies, poor thing.) Dickie Moore is the child in the case. ::Booker T.:: A battle against the practice of stealing husbands is the task given Irene Dunne in her latest starring vehicle, "This Man Is Mine," slated to begin Manager Montrabel Montgomery's little thearte tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. Miss Dunne, recognized as one of the most alluring feminine characters on the American screen, is said to be lovliver than ever in the coming picture. She surpasses her lovliness in "Cimarron," and her voice—charming if ever there was one—is captivating when she renders "Tying Lilacs On the Apple Tree." Portraying the part of a wholesome woman, full of love and fired with a spirit, Miss Dunne builds the picture—by splendid acting—up to the hand-to-hand combat that climaxes "This Man Is Mine." Ralph Bellamy, who plays the part of her faithless husband, is the other figure in the altercation. This sequence is replete with satiated humor and it is one of the strongest assets in the picture's entertainment appeal. A brilliant supporting cast includes Constance, Cummings, the other woman, Sidney Blackmer, smooth, debonair mystery man who proves an ability to make bad lil' gals behave. Kay Johnson, Charles THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1934 Starrett, Vivian Tobin and Louis Mason. It is quite an unusual distinction when one is credited with stealing a picture from a Fairbanks or a Barrimore or an Arliss or a Shearer. And that means that it is a distinction in spite of the fact that the critic in whose eyes the picture is stolen means little or nothing among the minds trained in stage iore. Well it is just that sort of honor that was achieved by coy little Elizabeth Bergner in her role as Catherine in the Booker T's attraction, "Catherine the Great," which finishes a week there tonight. The pretty little miss literally reached out and with her hands pulled the camera away from Douglass Fairbanks, Jr., and focussed it on herself. Throughout the film, wherever the two appeared in sequences together, the attention of the audience was inevitably drawn to the cute little feminine star. "Catherine the Great" has to do with the uncontrollable love of Catherine, wife of the grand duke of Russia, heir to the throne. It depicts the love of millions of layman for the youthful wife of the mad Peter III, and on the other hand their hatred for him. In the picture Fairbanks deserts his untouched bride on their wedding night while he goes to his hunting lodge to revel with one of the beauties of the court. Ahh—these pickers. -:-Lincoln-:- Preview Edgar Allen Poe's masterful tale, "The Black Cat," is the background of the picture at the Lincoln Theatre for a week, beginning tomorrow (Friday.) The photoplay is not exactly a screening of the original Poe work, but Universal's version comes pretty close to arousing the same amount of thrills to be gotten from reading the book-story "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" are brought together in this picture which information is brought to you readers for the specific purpose of warning you in advance of what is in store. Karloff and Luigi are co-starred in this stellar screen vehicle. "The Black Cat" is not the usual cut and dried mystery horror picture. It is a veritable avalanche of human emotions, logical at all times, and embracing characters you can and probably do meet in everyday life. Karloff proves $t_0$ be the greatest master of make-up since the red-doubled Lon Chaney. The Universal star is without question the outstanding delinicator of grotesque characters of the present movie era Pictured above is Rex Ingram, who appears as "Blacksnake Johnson in the Theatre Union's production, "Stevedore," which is playing to capacity New York performances at present.

BUCK JONES in "MEN WITHOUT LAW" Paramount's "Good Dame," starring Sylvia Sidney and Fredric March, has been listed as the next attraction at Van Bruner's Republic Theatre. The picture comes to the Fourteenth and U Street's picture market Sunday and will remain for five days. Cast as a stranded girl, Miss Sidney opens the story by launching on a campaign for the recovery of her loss of prestige and principally for the acquisition of a railroad ticket. It's a new type of role for the coy little Sidney miss. Innocent of the ways of men (imagine- a chorus gal) she falls in with a slick gambler who follows a cheap carnival company. That's the March guy. Well, anyway the good dame and the bad boy are drawn together. It's the old problem of whether a good egg can reform a bad bird or vicey verse. The picture brings a new March $t_0$ the screen. From a "chaser" to whom all "dames," broads, "moll's," "femmes," or what-haveyca, look alike, he is chastened and tamed to a one-woman man—tsk tsk. Lincoln Theatre Manager Becomes Proud Father An eight-and-three-quarter pound boy was presented to George Clark, manager of the Lincoln Theatre, by his wife.

But then that ain't new, cause that boy am always slipping. But, nevertheless, here's wishing him a speedy recovery. And, now folks, all you who like bananas and don't have any money to buy them, send me your name and address and I will forward it to Dizzy Vance. That boy will tell you how. Went to the midnight show and heard Tommie Myles' band and it cost Chols seventy-five cents. And Chols will spend that much more to hear them play that featured number by the bass fiddle player.

Charles Mitchell Says Liberia Needs Garveyites NEW YORK, (ANP)—Charles Mitchell, who was for three years U.S. Minister to Liberia, addressed the Executive Council of the U.N. I.A., Inc., at the Universal Rooms, 224 West 135th Street Sunday afternoon on the Liberian situation. It is Mr. Mitchell's belief that Liberia is ripe for the program of the U.N.I.A. Liberia, he says, is the land of opportunity for young people with adequate financial backing. Young American Negroes have not taken advantage of this new field. It is Mr. Mitchell's suggestion that students in American land grant schools in Liberia be permitted and encouraged to spend their last year in actual research in Liberia. Too much of the information being offered the public on conditions in Liberia is the result of inadequate knowledge and observation, sometimes to an amusing degree. As a case in point, Mr. Mitchell mentioned going into an office which offered passage to Liberia and advertised that workers were needed there and inquiring about passage to Cape Palimas. "We only offer passage to Liberia," the clerk explained. At the request of the executive council, Mr. Mitchell gave definite and practical advice as to the African program of the organization. While illiteracy is decreasing there are 363 counties in which illiteracy among Negroes showed an increase between 1920 and 1930.

The tab version of the opera adaptation of "Emperor Jones," by Eugene O'Neill-Louis Gruenberg is off for the picture houses. The initial idea was to get Jules Bledsoe for the titular lead, but apart from the great vocal difficulty in singing the operatic tab three and four times daily the circuits also admitted that their average pit orchestras would be unable to cope with the score. New York will witness colored grand opera in June either in Manhattan or in Brooklyn. Prominent Negro singers are all lined up for the season with Jules Bledsoe in "Emperor Jones" heading the list. Among others slated are Abbie Mitchell, soprano; Todd Duncan, barytone; Carl Diton and Alexander Gatewood.

BISHOP GRACE ACQUITTED ON GIRL'S CHARGES "Daddy" Grace Gets Clean Slate in Court of Special Sessions BROOKLYN, N.Y. (ANP)—The court of special sessions here, Friday, acquitted "Bishop" Charles Manuel "Daddy" Grace of charges of being the father of the nineteenth-old son of Minnie Lee Campbell. However, this decision by the local court does not affect the legal status of the Federal case against the religious leader which charges the bishop with carrying the girl across state lines for immoral purposes. Just before Minnie Lee Campbell began her testimony, all newspapermen, witnesses and spectators were ordered out of the courtroom. A similar case, in which the principals were white, had been previously heard without an order to clear the room. Fifteen witnesses from three states were called in to testify. The case was heard by Judge D. F. Murphy, J. J. McInerney, and J. V. Flood. Judge Murphy, however, did not agree with the verdict. White Woman Defends Sensa- tional "Religious Leader" Bishop Grace was defended by a white woman, Attorney Ella Bernard. The prosecution was carried on by Sidney B. Schatkin, white assistant corpoation counsel, while Samuel M. M. Ostoroff, also white, is continuing with the case on behalf of the United States. The defendant was found guilty in March of violation of the Mann Act and drew a sentence of one year and a day in the federal penitentiary. Pending appeal, he was released from custody on $7,500 bail, but was re-arrested at once by Brooklyn authorities and charged with failing to support his alleged son. He was released on this charge on $200 bail. Mimie Lee Campbell changed her story in this new trial. Among other things she said she had had intimate relations with the bishop on "four or five times." In her testimony in federal court in November, she admitted relations with the bishop on only one occasion. The defense produced Dr. Michael Pulver of Harlem Hospital to refute the contention of the complainant that the relations she had with the bishop led to the birth of her child on November 15, 1932. The physician stated that the child must have had its conception during the month of October. SEGREGATION IS ABSENT AMONG BONUS VETS No signs of discrimination whatsoever were visible among the ranks of the second "Bonus Expeditionary Force," which invaded Washington last week. A single case of attempted segregation by a restaurant proprietor who refused to serve colored members of one of the veteran groups was met with prompt and efficient action when his place of business was ransacked and a sign, "White Patronage Only," torn down by the enraged marchers. Spokesmen for the National Veterans' Rank and File Committee, sponsors of the present demonstration, made it clear that all men, white and colored, would be treated exactly alike at Camp Hunt. The marchers have set up headquarters here with a three-point program as their objective. They will ask the Roosevelt administration for prompt payment of the bonus, nominally due them in 1945, repeal of the Economy Act, and enactment of an unemployment insurance law. More than 600 men, 25 per cent of whom are colored, are already encamped at Camp Hunt as "guests" of the Federal Emergency Relief Association and the Civilian Conservation Corps. Small groups are constantly arriving and many more are expected before the "convention" actually gets under way. TRIAL FOR RAPE CAUSES EX CITEMENT IN LOUISVILLE LOUISVILLE, Ky.

Both are colored. The jury was out 20 minutes, returning a verdict, not guilty. The court threatened to arrest several people for contempt of court who made a demonstration because of the verdict. More than 1,500 people were present, more than have attended any recent trial here. Attorney C. Eubanks Tucker, prominent colored Democrat, aided in the prosecution. Attorney Charles W. Anderson, Jr., also colored, defended Parker.

MATTINGLY PLANS REVAMPING TEACHER RATINGS Criticism by Board of Education Brings About Change in System At the regular faculty conference this week Principal R. N. Mattingly, of the Cardozo High School, announced an innovatoin in the procedure for arriving at teachers' annual ratings for this year, and plans for the complete revamping of the rating procedure to be placed in effect at Cardozo next September. Mr. Mattingly was recently criticized by members of the board of education for rating Dr. John E. Washington, a teacher of drawing at the school. Dr. Washington complained to the board that he has received for a period of four years ratings lower than what he was entitled to. The board upheld his contention and blamed Mr. Mattingly and Mrs. Rosa Hampton, director of art in the public schools, for inefficiency and prejudice. To Consult With Teacher The innovation for this year will consist of a conference with each teacher in order to get the teacher's version of the success or failure of his teaching procedure before annual ratings are made up and sent to the superintendent of schools for his information and approval. At this conference the teacher will be informed of the advisory rating and comments of his supervisory officer, and of the tentative appraisal of his work by the principal, and be given an opportunity to make statements that will help the principal arrive at an equitable evaluation of the year's work. A written memorandum of the conference will be furnished the teacher to enable him to make plans during the summer to meet the criticism and to carry out the suggestoins of supervisory officers and the principal during the next school year. Under the present system now probably in vogue throughout the school system, unless the teachers' work has been fair or unsatisfactory, the teachers' annual ratings are more or less secret, so far as the teacher is concerned, until they are handed to them by the principal on the last day of the school year. Two Advisory Periods Beginning with next September, the faculty was informed that two advisory ratings for each teacher, regardless of the character of service being rendered, would be requested of directors and heads of departments. The first advisory rating would be called for six weeks before the end of the first semester, and the second or final advisory rating six weeks before the end of the second semester. The receipt of each advisory rating is to be followed by the same kind of conference with the teacher as planned for this year. Between the two advisory ratings there will be an eighteen-week period for remedial supervision by supervisory officers and the principal based on the outcomes of the conference held at the first advisory rating. Special Forms Special forms for advisory ratings with written comments on both satisfactory and unsatisfactory aspects of each teacher's work were sent to directors and heads of departments on Friday of last week with request that they be sent in by or before May 22. Conferences with teachers will begin immediately after that date in order that annual ratings may be completed by June 4.

Holmes, member of the District Bar, school teacher and director of the Industrial Bank. The price was $120,000. There was a first trust of $119,000 on the building and a second, but the representatives of the latter did not figure in the sale. PETER H. Cost $180,00 The hotel was built in 1919 at a cost of $180,000. It was designed by the late Isaiah T. Hatton and financed and promoted by the late John W. Lewis, first president of the Industrial Savings Bank. The Whitelaw Corporation when originally formed represented several thousand people who subscribed and paid for stock. The sale wipes out the investment of this group. Renovated at $25,000 The building was recently renovated at a cost of $25,000. The building was involved at one time the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and recently was under the receivership of Charles S. Cuney and Augustus Gray. Only recently the receivership was dissolved and the hotel was returned to the corporation. In a statement to The Tribune this week Mr. Holmes said he plans to manage the establishment. The hotel is in a popular residential section of the city, Thirteenth and T Streets, Northwest, and is five stories high, including a basement.

JACKSON Basing his plea upon the exoneration of Lawrence Jackson, suspended policeman, in connection with the fatal shooting of James Davis, on Christmas Eve morning, John H. Wilson, attorney, asked the Police Trial Board for complete vindication of his client at the final review of the case by that tribunal, Tuesday. The board has the case under advisement and its verdict is expected within the next few days. Indications Good Indications that the board was inclined to deal not too seriously with the veteran officer, who had seen 16 years of service before his suspension, were apparent at the hearing, Tuesday, and also during that of the previous week. At that time, Jackson had certain specifications of intoxication against him dropped by the board. At the last hearing, Tuesday, Jackson was confronted with the specification that his actions surrounding the shooting were prejudicial to the best interests of the police force. In their zealousness in trying the case, both Mr. Wilson and Corporation Counsel Welliver, prosecutor, frequently strayed from the specific charge. The former made an impassioned plea for the liberation of Jackson on a charge of unjustifiable shooting in accordance with the verdict of the Supreme Court. In answer, Mr. Wellever contended that the shooting was unjustifiable. Inspector Patient Just as frequently as the two strayed in their battle of wits, just as frequently did Inspector Scott, chairman of the board, smilingly remind the two that Jackson was being tried on a lesser charge relative to his conduct and not upon the justification of the shooting. In his summary, Mr. Wilson reviewed the case stressing that the deceased and several witnesses were inimical to Jackson because of arrests when they ran afoul of the law. He contended that Jackson acted in self-defense when he shot one of two men who are said to have accosted him on that Christmas Eve morning. "Jackson has been exonerated by a Supreme Court jury, a fact-finding body," declared Mr. Wilson. "If that body has found him justified in taking the man's life, it is contrary to Constitutional laws then for you to say that he was not justified." Mr. Wellever was vicious in his summary to the board. He, however, dwelled on testimony that Jackson had been drinking prior to the trouble. Police Surgeon Williamson had previously declared that Jackson was unfit for police duty at the time by reason of drink. Vigorously questioned by Mr. Wilson, the police surgeon reiterated testimony presented the Supreme Court that Jackson fully co-operated with him as he was making the examination for alcoholism. It was related that Jackson satisfactorily walked straight lines and turned quick curves. Certain of his actions were attributed to nervousness as a result of the fractas. The prosecutor declared that the actions of an officer who would go out under the influence of liquor and shoot a man were prejudicial $t_0$ the best interests of the police force. He submitted the case to the board upon the testimony of the witnesses, several of whom Mr. Wilson had termed "permissious liars." Jackson has received commendation as a good officer by Capt. Jeremiah Sullivan, of the Fourth Precinct, his superior, both in the Supreme Court and before the Trial Board.

TRIO IS JAILED IN MAKING ALLEGED GAMBLING BRIBE Following closely upon the charges of a numbers runner that $20 monthly was being paid out to a policeman for protection, three men, alleged to have offered $1 each to two officers for non-interference with a gambling game were arrested on bribery charges, Sunday. Those arrested, all of the Northeast section, were Walter Ward, 23, of 4647 Hayes Street; Waverly Sollers, 21, of 4809 Fitch Place; and Bernard Jackson, 21, of the 4800 block of Edes Street. The trio is reputed to have offered to pay off Privates T. Crowe and R. L. Eubank, both white, of the Eleventh Precinct, if the officers would lay off a gambling house at Forty-eighth and Foote Streets. The officers expressed a willingness to give the protection, but in the meantime informed their superior, Captain S. J. Marks, and a trap was laid. The officers met the three men, Sunday, according to an agreement. It is charged that $2 was paid over while Captain Marks and Sergegnt C. S. Sydnor witnessed the transfer while concealed in a hedge. The arrest of the reputed gamblers and would-be bribers followed immediately.

SCHOOL FIREMAN'S AUTO KILLS 3-Year-Old (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) baby in his arms as Berry rushed him to Providence Hospital. Little William died a short while later from the effects of a broken fifth rib, on the right side, which punctured the lung. Death is Announced Berry paced nervously in the waiting room of the hospital, anxious about the outcome. As Officer Beechner, of the Fourth Precinct, began inquiries to learn the identity of the driver of the auto, which struck the boy, Berry made himself known. As the two discussed the accident, Dr. John R. Simpson, of the Providence staff, walked out from the emergency room with the information that William had just died. Berry was placed under arrest and taken to the Fourth Precinct. A short while later, upon recommendation of Dr. A. M. Macdon, coroner, the driver of the death car was released in custody of Armond W. Scott, attorney, pending an inquest held at the morgue. Tuesday morning. Driver Exonerated After listening to the testimony of witnesses who saw the children scampering across the street, and learning that Berry's brakes were in good condition and he was moving at a low rate of speed, the coroner's jury exonerated him. Two occupants of the fireman's auto at the time of the accident, Miss Mamie Coles and Frank Pierce Coleman, an elementary school teacher, both residing at 1633 Fourth Street, Northwest, testified they did not see the children scampering through the street. Berry, on the stand, also stated that he did not see the infant until he was about three feet from the auto running toward it. Officers testified as to the skid marks which tended to show that he tried to avoid striking the child. Witnesses Not Quizzed Mrs. Oliver testified that she ran across the street after the auto struck her son and she saw Berry with an arm on the steering wheel and another around Miss Coles. This was vehemently denied by Berry and the statement was substantiated by no other witnesses. Those who described the antics of the children as they darted into the street, including Williams, the chauffeur previously mentioned, were Samuel Ackers, 301 Third Street, Southwest, and James Riddick, 307 Third Street, Northwest. During the course of the inquest, Attorney Scott did not find it necessary to interpose one question in the straight-forward testimony of the witnesses. ATTY. B. L.

Raymond Henderson Raised $49,241 to Get Church Debt Free ATLANTA . Ga. (ANP)—While hundreds of churches all over the land are praying for some kind of light o shine through the clouds of depression which have kept them in the shadow of staggering debts for the past few years, Greater Wheat Street Church, recognized throughout the nation as one of the South's great religious institutions, is lauding the generalship of the Rev. J. Raymond Henderson, militant pastor, who in less than four years has erased the indebtedness besetting his pastorate and accomplished the task of raising $49,241.74 for that purpose. Servant Bequeths $2.347 And praised and thanked along with the Rev. Henderson is the memory of Mother Mollie Manuel, for forty years, a loyal and faithful member of the church, from whose estate a gife of $2,347 was received. Mother Mollie Manuel, during these forty years was a servant in the home of the Hon. R. W. Woodruff, v. white. She died more than a year ago and her employer became the administrator of her holdings. The Rev. Mr. Henderson was unable to get Mr. Woodruff to accede to his original bequest for the completion of the church, but was successful in getting him to divert the $2,347 from the estate of the deceased toward the liquidation of the church's debt.History of the Rev. Henderson's handling of the local situation since he came here three years and seven months ago reads like a success story from fiction. Raised $4,000 in Five Weeks Just five weeks passed after his coming to Atlanta and the new pastor had raised $4,000 in cash in a rally. He borrowed the balance and funded the church's debts. At once a herding into his victory-headed procession began on the part of the membership, who had wandered away from the church because of its dire financial condi- because of its dire financial condition. The budget of the church for twenty-four months amounted to $850 per month. $426 of that amount was paid on the budget alone. The budget in the next sixteen months amounted to $650. Payments were made on the date due with refreshing punctuality and at the same time, current expenses were kept apace. Other notable achievements list the raising at rallies under the leadership of the Virginia churchman of $4,000 $600; $1940 and $1,545.16 respectively. And these same amounts were raised in the midst of the world's greatest depression! Pastor To Visit Germany So grateful was the church to their pastor that after the announcement of the rally results had been made a motion was passed to send the Rev. Mr. Henderson to the Baptist World Alliance which holds its conference this August 5 in Berlin, Germany. Public school enrollment in 17 Southern States—white, 7,444,731; Negro, 2,282,578.

Cobb gor reappointment as judge in the Municipal Court, not only insulted all the members of the D.C. bar (except Cobb) but clearly showed two things. First: the lack of knowledge on the part of the editor as to the legal (or judicial) ability of the men of our group; and second: the unreasonable extent to which Republicans will go to try and hold on to positions under a new Demo- cratic administration. The editorial, among other silly statements had to say: “It has been freely admitted that another colored jurist, measuring up to Judge Cobb’s standards can not be found in Wash- ington.” Just how the Post editor happens to KNOW that the administration, with its keen Mr. Farley, its well trained ‘Mr. Garnett, not to mention its capable Mr. Cummings, has reached the con- clusion that NO Negro can be found to replace Judge Cobb, we are at a loss to understand. However, it may be that this Democratic administration has awaited this analysis of the Post editor, as well as advice from their Republican viewpoint before they could make their choice of a Democratic appointee. It would be, therefore, very unfortunate (if we take seriously the Post editor- jal), if Judge Cobb should die or re- sign. We, the citizens of Washington, would certainly suffer for the want of @ proper judicial official on the hand- ling of our petty civil cases. Among other praiseworthy expres- sic. : in this editorial was the one re- ferring to Judge Cobb’s activities in investigating Southern Labor Condi- tions on a commission appointed by President Hoover. Perhaps if the edi- tor had known that not only did Mr. Cobb not investigate, but did not even leave the city to go South with any commission as stated he would have omitted this compliment. We publish elsewhere in this issue a letter by B. L. Gaskins, widely known as an able lawyer, the conservatism and sanity of whose views upon public mat- ters has been the subject of official com- ment by the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia. His letter clearly shows the reaction of the colored bar. However, knowing this administra- tion as we think we do, the mere fact of an endorsement of the Republican Post should, and probably will, do more to prevent the naming of Cobb, a Re- publican, and the rewarding of some Democrat, than had the Post said noth- ing. For of the twenty-two judges now serving us here, eighteen are Republi-- cars. The Tribune is quite confident that this silly and unfounded “bush- wah” of the Post will not cause this ad- ministration to further feather the nest of the gang who would rather have seen Dillinger president than the mar who came to us with a “new deal” for the forgotten man. The Whitelaw Hotel It is gratifying to know that the pur- chaser of the Whitelaw Hotel at auc- tion on last Friday was a business man of our group. From the time John W. Lewis organized the Whitelaw Hotel Corporation, builders of the building, litigation both within and without has taxed this venture beyond any possi- bility of financial success. - + - 4 It is unfortunate that the stockhold- ers have lost all. It is unfortunate that the stockholders and policyholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company too were victims of this litiga- tion and lost all. But it is only a lesson in big business for us to take heed to. The “if I ain't got it, you shan’t have it” policy on the part of the would-be promoters and leaders has wrecked and fost many. fine business - enterprises within our group. We should now, af- ter nearly all of our big projects are gone, build our new enterprises on a different foundation. Selfishness and greed should be cropped as soon as it shows its head.

What can be more beautiful than a courting couple in the spring, not youth, but old aged folk, she, with hair so white, he, with wrinkled brow, locked arms as together they wend their way, behind them the path of life with its cobbled stone, before them, a smooth highway nearing the completion of their life’s journey? The thing that has made it most Worthwhile, most enjoyable, has been the fact that they have taken this journey together. Just, such a relationship seemingly existed between, shall we say, Mary and Joe. They ere an old couple bridging the gap between California and Kansas by way of the Union Pacific. A long ride true, but he was there to comfort her, to cool her lips with refreshing water as they crossed the great American desert. She was there to minister to his need of conversation (that’s one place where women make their contribution without a doubt) a [companion, to share the scenerie joys of travel with him. A few miles from City— how? Human eye cannot tell but this com- panion was snatched from him. She fell off of the rapdily moving express. Some one saw ther as she was hurled to the ground. The train officials were notified. ‘The train backe to that curve in the bend. There, she was, her Journey ended. ‘Human suffering is one of the forces that tend to make us one, There was sympathy in full measure for this aged husband. I and my husband were the only other colored per- sons on ee ee ye tlie prejudice had been swallowed up in sympathy. I went back into the coach to do what I could to comfort this, the now too weary traveler. The conductor brought a Catholic sister to sooth the wrath of death. ‘The old man felt a kinship with me, his sister of the skin, and he begged me not to leave him. She was a representative, an ambassador for Christ, but she was white. His long years of experience had made him fearful lest her Christianity would not ring true, For often prejudice is ruler over Chris- tianity. I searched his pocket and found an address—his daughter's name and address. I wired-her._ ‘The irony of fate—they were going home to Kansas. ‘They had been living in California with this daughter, but they had decided to bo back home, She was really go- ing home. At Kansas City I got off the train with Joe and took him up to the Travelers’ Aid dask. I explained the situation and requested that they look out for him and see that he got his train out of Kansas City, for he lived out in tue country. To my amazement instead of sympathy I found he met our old destructive prejudice. The agent, a Southern aristocratic woman, said, “Yes, Unele, I've heard all about the situation. Your wife was demented, wasn’t she? She jumped off the train.” I immediately told him not to talk. I asked him the name of the biggest lawyer in his town, and I wired him, writing details later. I had to rush back to the tran, so I asked a colored porter and a white woman who had been on the train and very co-operative, to look after Joe. With tears in my eyes I told Joe good bye. In the train many white people gave me their names and addresses. They wanted to be witnesses in Mary's defense. Joe was not trained; the word demented was Greek to him, He could easily in his depressed condition be made to say anything, I don’t know how it all turned out, but beside monopolies existing for the benefit of the few, our capitalistic system makes the game be won. seemingly by taking advantage of the poor individual, Officials at- tempted to get some young boys to sign that Mary had jumped out, that she had not acted normally during the trip. In all probability some careless employee had left the door open, Whatever happened Mary had ended her jour- Ry. A young lover who has been robbed of the joy of matrimony because death snatehes his betrothed from him is a condition which we humans consider sad. But this is where we find opposite reactions. The aged couple is really going home, and what does it matter if ‘one goes on a little ahead of the other. It’s only going on—that spirit of making life easier—one for the other. Going home—a lit- tle ahead of the other to be there to welcome him when he arrives. So it is not so sad as it is beautiful.

Roosevelt respon- sible for the failure, Every crime covered by these six new and drastic laws is a lesser crime than lynching, which has done to death over five thousand citi- zens in fifty years, many of them innocent of any offense against society or against the rights of other individuas, and the great ma- jority of them by no means deserving death on the charges made against them—even if those charges had always been true. Is lynching a crmie? Or is it a legitimate pastime of which our great people should not be deprived? > Ania!

To the Editor: Some papers have been writing,’and much talk has been going around about Mr. Armond Scott being appointed to the place on the Municipal oars bench held by Judge Cobb. Let me say at the start that I believe Mr. Scott is fit timber for a judgeship. His many years 0. successful practice before all of the courts here have made for him a record which only comes to those who persue their particular line of endeavor with courage and inteiligence. But why Judge Cobb? There are five judges on the Municipal Court bench. We might have another one in addition to Judge Cobb. . Again, we have about twenty-one judges here, in the Municipal Court, the Police Court the District Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeals. We represent about one-fourth of the popu- lation of this District. Is one out of twenty. one a fair ratio for us? . Did we not say before the Revolution that taxation without representation was tyranny? If it were tyranny then, its tyranny now. Reward those who are due reward, but in so doing give and not take away. My thought is that when we argue to re- place our one judge, we are subscribing to our own limitations. Appoint Mr, Scott or someone who will eventually be appointed, but let that be an addition, CHAS. F. A. LONGUS, Secretary Benning, Glendale, Oakland Civic Association. Whites Taking Jobs of Negroes Are Forcing Latter on Relief Rolls. : To the Editor: x We are wondering if there is any connection between the opposition to Leroy Halbert, di- rector of D.C, of F.E.R.A., and the change of policy in alloting relief to the destitute that has resulted in many families being evicted into the streets, and placed on restricted diet. These poor unfortunates must tighten their belts and face the dire spectre of under nour- ishment and the increasing casualties from tu- berculosis, We would also like to know if the increasing number of white women who demand that they be furnished house maids at from $2.50 to $4.00 pez week (vertible slave wages) so that they can attend their bridge parties, is a factor in the equasion. How anyone can exist in this era of inflation with living costs increased over 50 per cent, on such starvation wages we woud like to know. Why can’t the codes Protect the domestic servants both as to wages and hours? Many families have their house maids laboring from early morning until Ite at night? Notice the women servants returning home, exhausted from the long, hard grind that lasts until 10 o'clock and later at night. We all know ser- yants who have been worn out and are sick from this slave driving exploitation. We are told that $0 per cent of those on relief are Negroes. But do these same offi cials care to remember that Negroes formerly held thousands of positions paying a living Wage now held by whites? From the chaut feur of the garbage truck to the sub-foreman on the road construction gang, the messenzer in many government offices, and elevator con ductors, we see the Negro is being eliminated, In the planned economy some one suggested that the unemployed be sent to farms, Do they plan to make us a ace of peasants?

In April DePriest won the Re- publican nomination for Congress from the First Congressional Dis- trict, and twice defeated opponent Baker was nominated on the Demo- cratic Ticket, Although DePriest faced @ fight it was conceded that he would easily beat Baker as the colored voters would not sacrifice losing @ Congressman. Now, how- ever, that Fate has stened in and removed Baker from the scene of battle, it is possible and most probable that the Democr t Com- if will nominate a colored ‘ter-holding and be almost too well ‘drained. The soil may have con- ‘siderable amount of sticky red clay and may need an extra amount of attentoin paid to the garden drain- age. The more finely prepared the soil the better the health of the roots, the better the plants will withstand the winter, the earlier the spring opening and the more robust and enduring the blossoming period, Leaf mold, peat moss, humus for aerating the soil, for making the chemical foods more available and for opening up and lightening up sticky, heavy and dry thick soils, are becoming more conspicuous in garden operations. When their use is prolonged a continuous acidity of the soil may result, a condition not favorable to all plants but to the heather family in general and to a lesser degree members of certain other families. However, in the early preparatoin of any garden, especially a new one, they are in- variably of some help in one or more of the ways mentioned above. The acid or sour condition caused by the continued use of leaf mold, peat moss and humus may be cor- rected by the application of air slacked lime to the soil. Cow manure should be held up as the best general fertilizer, help- ing both the physical condition of the soil and supplying plant food. However, it should be remembered that it is never wise to use any of the animal manures to growing plants that is not well rotted, be- cause there is a great danger of husnini: the plant recta. man to take Baker’s place and if 30, it is not at ail unprobable that the colored voters who are so op- posed to DePriest will concentrate with the Democrats in electing the colored man who they 1~obably will nominate—Arthu.

The door was closed to reason and to the demands of practical politics and the veteran ‘polities strategist was thrown to the mob. In one of the wildest and most rioutous conventions in the history of the party, the political niob took Church in its mouth, broke his bones, slammed him against the floor until he was inert, then cast him aside, And when the mob had finished, it was declared that a glorious reign in Republican polities which began with Roosevelt back in 1905 had come to an end. The white mob extilted because, if just for a space, they had shaken off the wise controlling hand of a dictionary Negro. ‘The fight which ended with de- feat for Mr. Church last Tuesday was the culmination of years of enyy and jealousy on the part of Peanut white politicians who have resented the ability of Bob Church to exercise leadership in the party councils and to dominate the Re- publican organization in Shelby county, Carried Negro Vote In His Pocket One of the anomalies of Southern politics has been the fact that for many years, Church, because of his wisdom, the position he held and his influence, has been able to make big white men out of little white men. He has carried the Negro vote in his pocket, He has used the Negro yote to keep in line white friends for the Negro. e combination of the strength of the Negro Republican vote and of whtie allies whom he has bound to him by advancing them in politi- cal life for 30 years, has kept the Church organization supreme, But always, there have been oth- er jealous whites who were eating their hearts because a Negro was the power behind the throne in Re- publican party polities. They could not deny that he represented strength and wisdom, but they just did not want a Negro, ‘They have hated Church all the more because of their sectet admiration of his fine qualities.

When the DePriest resolu- tion on discrimination in the House restaurant at Washington came up, only two Southern Congressmen voted for that resolution. They were Church Republicans: J. Will Taylor and B. Carroll Reece. Tn the last gubernatorial ¢lec- tion, Church was actused of trad- ing with the Democrats. Jona Mc- Call, whose faction has succeeded temporarily to power, was the Re- publican candidate. But his record in so far as Negroes is concerned was not one that Church could en- dorse., Even if it had been, there was nio chance for MeCall'to be elected. Good politicians play win- ners. Lewis E. Pope, one of the Democratic candidates, was openly opposed to Negro suffrage. Hill McAlester, the Democratic candi- date who was elected, showed a disposition to be fair.

But on Tuesday, the McCall fore- es appealed to the one thousand delegates present, went to the floor and appealed to the mob. Most of the mob was white. Of course, Mr. Church did not try to speak himself. White men whom he had befriended, sought to speak for him, but they were howled down: ‘The mob was out for blood. A former governor, Ben Hooper; a former state senator, Hal Clements, sought to reason with the mob, but all\to no avail. Its¢ frenzy had been fred. » Congressman J. Will Taylor, the party leader along with Church, could not be at the convention, due to the death of his mother.

The increase in the number of competitors is due largely to the fact that the Cardozo Business High School js entering three com- panies for the first time. Hereto- for thé Purple and White institu- tion has been far outnumbered by ‘the two rival schools, Dunbar and Armstrong. Each of the latter ‘two will be represented by five company units, Cardozo Dangerous Cadets and students of both the Dunbar and Armstrong institutions fre holding a fair-sized amount of respect for the Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue entrants. The win- ning of the Battalion Drill by the Cardozo organization established that school as the “dark-horse” of the coming event. Prior to this year, the Purple and White lads have been looked upon as just or- dinary participants with little chanee of copping the coveted Sfhonors. In former years the contest has Ween centered around the repre- sentatives of th Crimson and Black and Orange and Blue. ‘The history of the event dates back to 1392 when two platoons of the M Street High School battled for the prize. It was not until 1901 that Arm- strong was able to master a suffi-| cient number of boys to form a competing unit. Two years later the P Street school was returned the winner. M Street Becomes Dunbar From that point to. 1916 it was ain annual match between drill out- fits of the M Street and Armstrong schools. With the removal of the ‘M Street High School, now accu- pied by tle Terrell Junior High, to the then newly erected Dunbar EBigh School, the competitive drill ame an affair between Arm- mg and Dunbar. { Companies of M Street and Dun- Ba have garnered the yearly vie- tories 23 times as against 11 for Armstrong since the inauguration of the inter-school contest. ‘The record follows: STRUCK WITH BOTTLE James Rhone, 40, of 700 Second Street, Southwest, was struck on the head with a milk bottle by Lot- tie Wood, 28, of the same address daring a Sunday squabbie.

Alexander, who ae- companied the Scottsboro mothers to the White House on Mothers’ Day denies that she is a Commun: ist or a member of the Interna- tional Labor Defense. The Missionary states that the de- tails of the Scottsboro case are the most flagrant that she has ever heard of. Mrs. Alexander’s state follows: Mrs. Alexander's statement fol- lows: member of azy other political par- ty. FT accepted the invitation of the LL.D. to be one of a delega- tion to go with the Scottsboro boys’ mothers to try to interview the President in Washington on Mothers’ Day on their behalf. ‘This I did for three reasons: “1. Thad read Judge Horton's de- jeision which left me in no doubt that the boys were innocent of the crime for which they were sen- tenced to death. _ “2. AS a woman and a mother, I could not escape some realization of what these mothers have suf fered and are suffering. “3. During twenty-seven years’ residence in South Africa, I had been deeply interested in the col- ored people of the Cape Province, where I lived. I had seen their at- titude towards the white man change slowly from a genuine be- Hef in his good faith and justice in his dealings with them t> a com: plete disbelief. This change of at- titude was the result of a long suc- cession of repressive measures and of cases and legal decisions which made the colored man fee} that there was one law and one justice foc the white man and another for the black. For many years T made it my business to keep a record of such cases. But T can recall none so startling in its history or so flagrant in its details a: the Seottsboro case. “T regret that the President did not xee fit to receive the mothers, tht ce Mothers’ Day activities Soskcnin ee ina ce —-. ~ = 3S, Alexander.” NewsofFraternals Columbia Temple No422 \ Tan Na By (Mrs.) Luvenia Fair “Mmcers and members of the lodge attended the eleventh anni- versary of W.

University and mecbers of, th Howard Wowen's Club. MISS CHARLOTTE CORBIN It is doubtful if any of the mil- lions of association tests a person when given the word “Latin” would answer “tennis.” Yet these two words are very closely associated with the very efficient secretary of the local Howard Women's Club, Miss Charlotte Corbin, Having devoted as much time as ossible to Latin in the Dunbar High School, from which she grad- uated as valedictorian of the class of 1923, Miss Corbin has pas that subject as a major at Howard University, and Columbia Univer- sity, while “on the Hill.” Miss Cor- bin was closely associated with many student organizations, hold- ing offices in the Women’s League in the Pestalozzi-Froebel group. She was admitted to the Kappa Mu Honorary Society in her junior year and justified this selection by grad- uating Magna Cum Laude in 1927. After teaching science and math- ematics at Lane College, Jackson, Tennessee, a year, ehe was appoint- ed as teacher of Latin in the Dun- bar High School, Lynchburg, Va. During her three years there, she introduced as the first academic extra-curricula activity her newly- formed Latin Club. Her deep contralto voice was as eagerly welcomed in the Jackson Street Methodist Church of Lynch- burgh as it is in the local Mount Carmel Church. While in high school Miss Corbin became interested in tennis and, though right-handed, has been de- veloping a new type of left-hand back-hand stroke. One which indi- cates a swift advantage over her opponent when perfected, Since 1921, she has been an an- nua Isubstitute in the local high schools, and is now located at the Cardozo High School. | Y.

(ANP)—Addressing an audience of almost 1,000 persons at Second Baptist Baptist Church (white), Dr. Channing Heggle Tobias, senior secretary of the International Council of the Y.M.C.A. challenged white youth to lead the way in the matter of Race Relations and the eradicating of race prejudice in America. Speaking to the Youth Conference at the fashionable and wealthy white church Sunday afternoon on the subject, "Race Deletions and Youth," and emphasizing what youth can do in the matter of Race Relations, the eminent New Yorker said: "White youth can bring influence to bear that the white world see underprivileged races not merely as problems but as potential social assets. Youth of the white world can insist that his Christian fellowship of which we speak shall be so broad and inclusive as to include the entire human family in one great World Brotherhood, without regard to race, color or creed."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1934 MICHIGAN POLITICS BEGINS AWAKENING DETROIT, Mich. (ANP)—A preview of the political situation in this state as it shapes up prior to the actual campaign for the fall election, shows the Republican party again in power after a brief rest. The Democrats in this city and throughout the entire state have been continuously losing ground while the Republicans have been carefully mending their fences preparatory to staging a comeback. As far as the group is concerned in this city the voters did not go over to the Democratic side, as many have believed in any overwhelming numbers. In fact it has been proved by a careful checkup that they did not even vote in any appreciable degree. The leaders who have boasted of "carrying the Negro vote in their vest pocket" have found out the Negro carried his vote in his own vest pocket and failed to take it out at election time. 7 Students Inducted Into Cardozo Honor Society Seven students were inducted into the Cardozo Chapter of the National Honor Society at the induction ceremony held recently.

His work has been a controversial subject since the publication of his first pennings efforts, several months ago. "A Good Job Gone," in which Hughes described an inter-racial love affair that resulted in the "ditching" of a wealthy white man by a colored girl, appeared in the April issue of the magazine. The two subsequent issues of the magazine have carried letters of criticism and commendation as follows: He Dislikes the Story "I read Langston Hughes' 'A Good Job Gone,' and it was certainly a Negro masterpiece. If Langston can't do better next time he had better take in his sails. I don't claim to be a critic in such obscene filthy stories, but I don't think in the years to come he will live in the pages of literature with Boccaccio—who gave us 'The Decameron.'" "This Negro must have been born somewhere around the black district in upper New York, or in the slums of Chicago in walking distance of the 'Loop.' He does not write like a genuine darky; he must have seen the South in the eyes of a regular off-shade 'Yankee.'" "I have written a little criticism on the story of Langston Hughes. It was composed before I read 'A Good Job Gone,' but I think it will show to either Yankee or a Southerner the reason that Esquire was wrong in publishing such an article. Not one line of his story showed a clean thought—just guttier stuff, and we are overstocked with this chaff, we want the fine pure grain, not the husk. "With best wishes for the success of Esquire, and it will succeed, if the editor cuts out 99 per cent of his illustrations and tie down some of these so-called intellectuals whose brain if pressed into a piece of cotton cloth would not be big enough to make a mosquito a bonnet—I mean some of the writers who figure in the columns of the magazine.
