WIDOW WINS FIGHT IN HUSBAND'S DEATH
DuBois Quits Despite Refusal of Board to Consider Resignation
Says N.A.A.C.P. is Without Program or Officers Who Have Ability to Guide FORMER EDITOR SAYS PROGRAM OAS IGNORED
However, He Will Remain on Sidelines and Criticize if Necessary
Despite the fact that the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People refused to consider his resignation, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois editor of the Crisis, N.A.A'C.P. organ, quit the organization Sunday.
His letter to the board of the organization follows:
*****
In deference to your desire to postpone action on my resignation of June 11, I have allowed m. nominal connection with the Crisis to extend to July 1, and have meantime entered into communication with the chairman of the board, and with your committee of reconciliation.
I appreciate the good will and genuine desire to bridge an awkward break which your action indicated and yet it is clear to me, and I think the majority of the board that under the circumstances my resignation must stand. I owe it, however, to the board and to the public to make clear at this time the deeper reasons for my action, less the apparent causes of my resignation seem inadequate.
Segregation Not Main Issue
Many friends have truthfully asserted that the segregation argument was not the main reason for my wishing to leave this organization. It was an occasion and an important occasion, but it could have been adjusted. In fact, no matter what the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People says, its action toward segregation has got to approximate, in the future as in the past, the pattern which it followed in the case of the separate camp for Negro officers during the World War and in the case (Continued)

FIGHTING AD MAN FACES 3 CHARGES
Luther Porter, an advertising solicitor for an out-of-town newspaper, will face three charges of assault when he is tried in Police Court Friday. Porter went to jail for a short stay when he was unable to post $300 bond for an alleged assault on Israel Ferguson, 15 R Street, Northwest, last Wednesday. Finally he was released when bond was posted by J. Walter Stewart. Not satisfied, Porter is alleged to have met Ferguson and attacked him a second time. A second $300 was put up. Later Ferguson had another warrant sworn out for the fighting ad solicitor charging threats. Porter was represented by Attorney Thomas Beckett.

Woman, 111, Dies Survived by a Son Who is 75
CRESSON, Pa., — Born, she said, on April 10, 1824, in Annapolis, Mrs. Rachel Ford Burris, inmate of the Blair County Home, died Saturday. The 111-year-old woman had been noted in the district for more than two decades for her fine ginger bread. Her husband, Danny Burris, died 27 years ago at the age of 90. She is survived by a son, the Rev. Murris Burris, 75, who lives in a Pittsburgh Home for Aged Ministers. He lost both legs in a railroad accident several years ago.

HOUSTON IS INDICTED BY WOMEN Say Howard Law Dean Fell Down and Failed in Crawford Case
By MARCUS MOON
Associated Negro Press
Charles H. Houston, who made an unsuccessful defense of George Crawford, of the famous Crawford case of Boston and Virginia, is now seriously indicted, not by a court but by two impartial white women who wrote up the Crawford case in the Nation Magazine, of New York, for June 27,—under the title: "Is the N.A.A.C.P. Retreating?"
The N.A.A.C.P. may not be retreating, but Houston will soon be in full retreat if he receives many indictments of his professional conduct such as these two women give him.
Have Not Told All
Evidently these women have not told all: as one reads, one can see that either they held something back, or else that the Nation magazine seriously cut or restricted their material and their manuscript. The public, at least the Negro public, should write both the women and the magazine and demand the full disclosure of this seeming failure of a young Negro lawyer to play exactly fair with his client, or should we say, his failure to do his best to the last end of the struggle for his client? The lawyers who defended Crawford in Boston before Houston came into the case, did so successfully before the late Judge Lowell, who refused to send Crawford back to Virginia. Somehow, after a
FAITHFUL CHURCH WORKER DIES AT AGE OF 108 YEARS
Mrs. Barbara Smith Buried Beside Late Husband at Harmony
Funeral services for Mrs. Barbara Smith, 108 years old, who died at her late residence, 1430 Third Street, Northwest, last Wednesday, were held from the Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church, Sunday. The Rev. W. D. Speight, pastor of the church, officiated at the rites while Attorney A. W. Gray and the Rev. J. H. Saunders made remarks. The Rev. Speight gave credit to Mrs. Victoria Neal, granddaughter of the deceased woman, who had nursed and cared for her at every beck and call. Burial was at the Harmony Cemetery beside the grave of Henry Smith, her late husband, former treasurer of the trustee board of Galbraith.
Members of the trustee board of the church acted as an escort to the pallbearers at the funeral. Mrs. Nellie Burton rendered a solo: "There Were Ninety and Nine Thus Safely Lay." Tributes were paid the deceased by representatives of the Eastern Star Lodge and other organizations with which she was affiliated. Mr. Smith had been a member of the church for over a half century.

N.A.A.C.P. HITS SEGREGATION
Society Turns Out At Carson-Williston Wedding
VOL. XIV, No. 10 N.A.A Society
SEGREG'TION IS RAPPED BY WHITE
N.A.A.C.P. Secretary Calls for No-Quarter War of All Forms
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -Calling for an "unending" warfare upon segregation in all its forms and particularly upon lynchings, Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, closed the twenty-fifth annual conference here Sunday with a fighting speech.
"Because segregation based upon race and color makes easy, and permanent discriminations in public education, health services, street paving, fire and police protection, public recreation, employment and other vital phases of life, Negroes are unalterably opposed to segregation, even in sections of the country where they realize it may take a long time to eradicate the evil. But no matter how hard the road or distant the goal we must and will fight toward that objective without letup. Really intelligent white Americans will join in that fight. "There can and will be no solving of the race problem, nor even any appreciable amelioration of it as long as this chasm of misunderstanding, of suspicion, of hostility, which segregation perpetuates and increases, exists."
To Press Anti-Lynch Bill
Mr. White hailed the growth of liberalism on the race question in the South, declaring that young southern whites would be replacing in a few years the older generation which has fattened on race hatred and bigotry. It is the duty of Negroes, especially in the South he said to increase the number of those whites who are above race prejudice. Formal announcement that the fight for the passage of the anti-lynching bill would be continued in the next congress and pressed without pause was made by the N.A.A.C.P. executive as he cited eight lynchings of 1934, six of which he declared were staged after it became fairly clear that congress was going to sidetrack the Costigan-Wagner bill.
Use Vote as Weapon
Citizens were admonished to use their vote as weapons for justice, both in the case of candidates in the fall election and on all issues affecting the welfare of the race, Mr. White urged all candidates be forced to make their stand in writing on the anti-lynching bill. Delegates were urged to return to their home communities and keep alert on the workings of the NRA, the AAA, the PWV, and the New Deal devices. They

ATION
Says Minds of Both Have Been Poisoned Against Each Other
petition for annulment of the marriage in District Supreme Court, Tuesday.
Through her attorneys, Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes, Mrs. Blagburn avers that she was totally unaware of the relationship between her husband and the other Mrs. Blagburn at the time of her marriage to him. She states in her petition that she did not know of the living common-law wife and the child until after their marriage in Alexandria, Va., on April 4.
The complainant asserts that her husband, for sometime prior to marrying her, had carried on an affair with Mrs. Violet Blagburn, then living at 1732 First Street, Northwest, as if she were his wife and had treated her as such in every way. This knowledge, she further avers, came to her about June 14, following which she immediately left him.
The complainant seeks relief from the wedding which she claims never would have been performed had she known of the circumstances. Her prayers are based on the general belief of the public that Blagburn had been wed prior to her marriage to her.
She claims to have suffered innumerable humiliations as a result of the general feeling among her friends that she is carrying on an illicit affairs with Blagburn, whom they believe has been spirited away from a previous mate. They, so intimates, are not all acquainted with the illegitimacy of his first "marriage," nor of his legal marriage to her.
Mrs. Violet Caldwell Blaghann whose present address is given as 4508 Dix Street, Northeast, could not be reached by Tribune reporters who sought her for a statement. Blaghann, a part-time worker with a local undertaking firm, likewise could not be reached.
Files for Divorce
Divorce papers were filed in Cleveland, Ohio, last week by Dr. E. J. Gregg against Mrs. Mayme Gregg, his wife, giving her address as Washington, D.C.
LONG LEGAL FIGHT WON BY WIDOW
Court of Appeals Favors Woman Who Lost Mate in Apartment Fire
Mrs. Julia B. Scott, widow of William McKinley Scott, who lost his life when the Alzardo Apartments, 70 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, was burned in November, 1932, won a long legal battle for compensation last week when the Court of Appeals handed down its decision holding: that an employee on duty 24 hours a day if injured while working sleeping or resting is entitled to compensation.
The amount involved is between $7,000 and $9,000. Mrs. Scott was represented by Attorneys John N. Wilson and J. Flipper Derricotte.
Mrs. Scott is the mother of two small children, ages 3 and 10. She will receive compensation until she remarries and the children until they are 18.
Her husband died on November 27, 1932, in a fire which destroyed the building. She was arrested with James Talmadge Nesbit, a friend of her husband, and both were charged with murder. Police claimed that the two killed Scott, stuffed his body into a dumb waiter shaft and set the building on fire.
A coroner's jury freed Mrs. Scott but held Nesbit for the action of the grand jury. The latter body refused to return an indictment. Following the fire a nationwide search was made for Scott by police who found his body two days later in the dumb waiter shaft.
Begins Long Battle
Following her acquital the wife began her battle for compensation. A hearing was held before Robert J. Noage, deputy commis-
NEGRO AND POOR WHITES SHOULD UNITE-HOUSTON
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-If the Negro is to make any further progress against the obstacles set up by private prejudice and public discrimination and injustice he must unite with the "poor whites" of the South, declared Charles H. Houston, dean of the Howard University Law School, at the opening session of the twenty-fifth annual N.A.A.C.P. conference tonight. After pointing out that in the new social order which is being set up under government supervision is attempting to place the Negro officially at the bottom, Dean Houston said:
"The only thing left to do is to unite with the poor white man who is just as bad off as the Negro—at least little better off. It will be hard. There will be suspicion and even enmity at first. The minds of both the poor whites and the Negroes have been poisoned against each other, but the attempt must be made. The Negro must carry his case to the poor white. Together they can win against the forces which are seeking to exploit and keep them down. Separately they will dose and the other fellow will continue to win."

Golden Text—Pride goeth before

Introduction
After Israel had been delivered
out of bondage, they arrived at Mt.
Sinai; God at ‘that time organized
them through Moses into a nation,
gave® them a national law (Ten
Commandments) and _ Religious
Law (Ceremonial), Appointed ever
them Judges and’ Priests for 450
years (Act 13:19-21),
Desiring to be like other nations,
God gave a king to rulé and priests
also, aud- prophets, 513 years,
Ail that happened ‘to fleshly
Israel-are tyes and shadows of
what \ take place with spiritual
Israel. (the thurch) and world,
1, Jeroboam's Coming Kingdom
Prophecised
~ (Verses 29-39)
As’ the whole of’ Israel was a
type of the world of mankind and
Jeroboam became an evil king and
only, a servant in Solomon’s house,
£0 the ten tribes over whom Jero-
boam was made king is a type of
the world over whom Satan is king,
50 also is Judah a type of the elect
church called out from the world
and become Spiritual Israel with
Jesus as King just as Rehoboam,
the son of Solomon beeame king
over fleshly Israel who was separat-
ed from the ten tribes. The garment
that Ahijah rent in 12 pieces ix a
type of justification which Jesus
the Prophet has offered not only
to the church but to. the whol:
world (I. John 2:2),
The affliction upon Judah is a
type of the sufferings and tribula-
tion through which Jesus as well
as the Elect Church’ will have to
pass. The prophet told Jeroboam
that he would be king over the ten
tribes and he would reign accord:
ing to all that he desireth and truly
Satan has ruled the world by God's
permission just as he desired for
6,000 years.

Atlanta University Summer
Session Draws Many
ATLANAT, Ga.—Atlanta’s _ in-

summer school education is evi-
denced in the fact that students
from 19 states and the District of
Columbia are enrolled in the At-

On the books of the 1934 sum-
mer school are 456 students, or

EDUCATION OF CATHOLICS IN SOUTH STUDIED
Miss Margaret A. Diggs Completes History of Parochial Activities
With the assistance of scholars from such institutions as John Hopkins, Xavier, Loyola, Catholic University, Hampton Institute, the Christ Child Society, the Oblates and Blessed Sacrament Sisters, Miss Margaret A. Diggs, of this city, has completed a study of the history of parochical Negro education in the South. Although the major emphasis is placed upon activities in the southern section of the country, work pertaining to other sections is not totally left out of the study. The study is not restricted to education only, but is a general survey of the economic and social background and development of the colored Catholics from the colonial period to the present.
Since there are no books written on the subject, the work was conducted through personal interviews and direct correspondence with the heads of the various institutions and organizations. The result of the study is divided into ten chapters ranging from the colonial period to who's who and what's what today.
Miss Diggs attended the public schools of the District, completed a correspondence high school course from the American High School of Chicago, and graduated from Howard University after a four-year course in history. She studied for one year under the Oblate Teachers of Baltimore, the oldest institution in this country for professional training for girls and young women.
In 1932 she was appointed field agent for the Associated Publishers, Inc., a position which afforded an opportunity, to learn about the past. and present status of Negroes. She is now employed by several well known firms.

URGES EDUCATION OF WHITES ON RACE PROBLEMS
Mary White Ovington Says Recruit Those Who Would Join NAACP
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Thousands of white people all over America gladly would join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and support its program if they were properly educated and recruited by colored people, was the assertion of Miss Mary White Ovington, treasurer of the Association, and one of its founders in 1909, in her address to the opening mass meeting of the 25th annual conference Wednesday night at Calvary Baptist Church.
Miss Ovington declared most white people were "abysmally ignorant" of the problems of Negroes and urged colored people to drop their own race prejudice and approach whites "man to man" and ask them to join in the work of the association. After telling something of the beginning of the association and its achievements in the past years, Miss Ovington appealed for a larger white membership, saying: "There is one very noticeable change between the association of twenty-five years ago and the association of today, the proportion of Negroes to whites. At our first conference, held in 1909 in New York City, the number of white and colored was about even. Today the whites are not one in a hundred. Only at the meetings of the board, do we have decisions that represent interracial discussion."

How long will my son go to school next term?
Ans.: He is not thinking of quitting school. He will remain in school for the full nine months and will pass his work with good grades. The next term will not be as difficult for him as the past three terms have been.

Ans.: He will receive a sentence but it will not be a very long one. He has not been misjudged and he will take his medicine like a man. Stick by him for this will be the last trouble that he will get into—he has learned his lesson.

Nearly a year ago when Brown's Service Station opened at 3006 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, the gallonage was small. Month by month it increased. It was just a few months ago that the TRIBUNE found this Esso Station. It was then that we started getting bigger boosts in sales. Now we are enjoying more neighborhood and inter-state trade than ever before.
Many new faces come in looking for our Station—at least 10 per week.
Because of the TRIBUNE, we are continually seeing new faces and our old faces more often. The sales have increased so much in these past few months that it is now possible for us to give you courteous and complete auto-motive service.
Our experience has taught us that it pays to advertise through THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Tuskegee Dean Awarded Spingarn Medal at Meet
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.(ANP)
—As the presiding officer at the Friday night meeting of the NAACP Conference, when the Spingarn medal was being awarded to W. T. B. William, dean of Tuskegee Institute, William Pickens pointed out that one of the chief services of the medal award is to help rescue colored Americans from the "inferiority complexes into which nearly every other thing in America tends to lead them."
He further pointed out that segregation and "Jim Crow" tend to mark everything "for colored people as inferior; that stubbornly prosecuted cases, like the Scottborn case (in Oklahoma) "are really persisted in by the prosecution, not because of mere vengeance against the individuals involved, but to prevent the Negro population from ever getting the notion that they can have their way against the great white world, whether the Negro be guilty or innocent—to drive it into the Negro's nerve-system that he is really helpless—that he might as well surrender when the white man is opposed to him.

his athletic achievements, the
Washington youth is a candidate
for the Phi Beta Kappa Key, which
he hopes to receive in January.
He has already undergone the rigid

such a distinction,
Ailing tonsils which affected his
track work during the period sur-
rounding the last few meets in

him.
Arnett, however, gave up only 12

ed by Berry. He struck out 10, one
Jess than his opponent, and other-
wise scattered the hits gathered off
him over the 9 innings. ‘

Madison Bested in Hurling
Duel With Butler
| GREEN VALLEY, Va.—Holding
the Arlington Elks to 5 hits and
taking advantage of their 5 errors,
the Virginia Quicksteps counted a
closely fought 3-2 decision on their
home grounds at Green Valley
Park, here Sunday.
The contest developed into a
pitching duel early in the proceed-
ings. Madison and Butler for the
‘Arlington and Green Valley crews,
respectively, performed creditably
on the mound. The former fanned
3 and scattered the hits gathered
off his delivery. But tht wobbly
support accorded by his mates
spelt his doom.

PULLMANS
| The D. C. Cub nine, which has
been cutting quite @ caper in local
ranks during the current season,
‘was on the winning and losing ends
of two games played during the
past week-end. The Cubs blanked
the Pullman A.C. outfit, 4-0 in a
contest on the Walker Stadium,
Friday evening ,only to be turnea
back in an extra inning affair with
the Rajah DePriest team, Sunday.
The score of the Sabbath tilt was
9-8,
Garvin and Chase shared the slab
duties for the Cubs in their Friday
engagement. Between them they
gave the Pullman outfit a pair of
dinky singles for seven innings of
play. Only 22 men faced the Cub
hurlers,
‘The Sunday encounter was some-
what different in that the Cubs
were on the receiving end for most
of the game. Only for the brief
interval needed to change sides in
the fourth inning were tne Cubs on
the front end of the score. At the
close of that frame the Northeast
aggregation had closed the 1-run
gap, and an inning later went a-
head.
A counter in the tenth inning
broke up a game which though
boasting of 23 hits between the two
teams proved a pitching battle be-
tween Slim Barnes and Jenkins,

Plans Completed for First Negro Coaching School at Hampton
Charlie Williams, Seaside Athletic Director Names Johnny Burr and Eddie Hurt as Basketball Coaches; Hucles to Teach Track Coaching; Colgate Tutor, Football
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—Hampton's Coaching School, which will be conducted during the first week in September, will bring together some of the nation's finest coaches of both races.
Andy Kerr of Colgate, recognized as one of the finest builders of gridiron machines, the man who yearly handles the All-East team in the East-West game, will conduct the sessions on football, teaching mainly the various tricks of the Double and Single Wingback. Hailed by sports writers everywhere as the man who teaches the football of the future," Kerr had an enviable record at Colgate. His 1932 team which went through the entire season unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon, was "coach's dream team"—one that is immortal in the history of intercollegiate football.
Leaders Conduct Classes
The plan of Charles H. Williams, Director of Athletics at Hampton, to have the sessions conducted by leaders in particular sports, basketball will be taught by two of the master strategians of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association—Johnny Burr of Howard and Eddie Hurt of Morgan, whose teams finished first and second, respectively, in the race for the M.I.A.A. crown during the nast season.
There is little necessity of saying much of these two men. Their positions in the Negro sport world and their marvelous records speak well enough for both of them. Coach Hurt has been successful in football, basketball, and track, taking several championships to the Baltimore college in each sport. He will teach the defensive side of the court game.
Burr, a mentor of the first order will teach offensive basketball. His cam won the C.I.A.A. championship in 1930 and again in 1934. Every year he has come out somewhere near the top. Anyone who awhil his five in action during the last season should be convinced that few other men in the country are better fitted to teach the art of getting the ball to the opponent's basket.
Round Table Session
The round table session on track will be conducted by H. B. Hucles, Coach of Union University's Track team which walked away with both the Hampton meet and the C.I.A.A. championship meet at Howard this spring. Letters from those seeking more information and those wishing to make application for the school have already begun to pour in to the Director of Athletics, whose aim is to bring the latest coaching methods and techniques within the reach of every High School and College Coach.
For those who find it possible to attend, there will be some purely hard work lightened by play. Hampton's seven tennis courts which are in excellent condition, the nine hole golf course at Shellbanks Farm, and the gymnasium open for volley ball and basketball, will all help to make the week at Hampton a pleasant one. Besides the athletic facilities, there will be Bayshore, nationally known resort, which will be open for dancing and swimming. Those interested in fishing may arrange fishing parties at little expense on the famous Hampton Roads. The C.I.A.A. Rules Interpretation meeting will climax the week on Saturday, September 8.
Hillsdales Drop Pair of Road Engagements
ROANOKE, Va.—The Roanoke All-Stars took the measure of the Washington Hillsdales in both ends of a two-game series, at the Springwood Park, this city, last week-end. The crack Washington team lost a 6-4 verdict to the locals in the Friday game, and were soundly trounced, 7-3 in the Saturday tilt.
Joe Wheeler, visiting fast ball artist, was the losing hurler in the first contest, while Smoke Levi succumbed to the Roanoke attack in the finale. The latter game was broken up by a home-run over the right field fence with the bases loaded. Jim Jones, clean-up hitting second baseman of the home team, was the offending batsman.

ORIENTALS TAKE TWO FROM VA. TIGER NINE
Old Dominion Outfit No Match for Blackfoot Scriver's Aggregation
The Virginia Tigers took it on the chin twice from Blackfoot Scriver's Orientals when the latter visited the Old Dominion state for a double-header last Sunday afternoon. The local Jungaleers were winners 15-5 and 5-0. The Southwest outfit was by no means slow in getting started. They jumped at the offerings of Lee, Virginia pitcher, in the first frame and counted four runs before being retired for the first time. The second inning saw the locals adding another quartet of tallies to their total. In only the seventh and the ninth innings did the winners fail to score. Russell and Robinson collaborated in letting the home team down with 10 well scattered hits.
the veteran Mac Adams toed the slab for the visitors in the nightcap which was called at the end of the fifth inning because of darkness. Again the Orientals began their scoring tactics early. Four runs were gathered in the second inning, and another in the fourth to bring their total to five while the Virginians were being handed a string of goose-eggs by the invading Jungle pitcher.

VIRGINIA STATE PREPS FOR S. E. TENNISTOURNEY
Jefferson, New Athletic Head, Expected to Provide Punch for Annual Event
PETERSBURG, Va.—With the recent arrival of Harry R. Jefferson, head coach of football at Virginia State College, plans for the tenth annual Southeastern Tennis Tournament, to be held at the college July 30 to August 4 inclusive, takes more definite form.
Along with the arrival of Coach Jefferson comes word of the triumph of Harmon Fitch in singles, and Fitch and Downing in doubles at the meet of the North Carolina Tennis Association held at Raleigh last week. No doubt Fitch is headed for the Southeasterns and it is predicted that Alfred Walker, Baltimore Md., singles champion of 1933, will be in for a stiff battle in the defense of his title should the two meet at Petersburg.
The victory of the Fitch-Downing team also indicates that Dr. Ellwood Downing, well known in the tennis world, and often called the "father of the Southeastern," will be showing his usual form at the meet.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 5. 1934
AS the millions of World's Fair visitors saw tires made in the Firestone Factory and Exhibition Building, we asked thousands this question: "What do you value most in a tire?" Car owners from every state in the Union and from all parts of the world were interviewed drivers of automobiles, trucks, busses, and tractors and out of it all came one composite answer: "Give us Blowout Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear, at a moderate price."
Firestone chemists, research and development engineers used every conceivable resource in the development of a tire embodying all these qualifications and selling to the public at a price within the reach of every car owner. The answer is the new Firestone Century Progress Tire.
COMPARE QUALITY — CONSTRUCTION — PRICE
This rugged new tire is in EVERY way the equal or superior of any other first quality tire built, regardless of brand name or by whom manufactured, or at what price offered for sale. See this amazing new tire today. Call on the Firestone Service Dealer or Service Store take the cross-section in your hands feel it twist it examine it. We know you will be sold on the rugged quality and you will want to equip your car with these marvelous new tires.

Mr. Robeson has cabled the Theatre Union that he is interested in a London production and the "world rights," excluding America, of the play which all critics have hailed as a magnificent contribution to the literature of the Negro race.
Jack Carter, known to thousands of theatre goers as the juvenile lead of the Lafayette Players, and the "Crown" of the Theatre Guild's "Porgy," will continue in the leading role of the American production.

AFRICAN OPERA REACHES BROADWAY IN 6 WEEKS
NEW YORK (ANP) "Kykunkor," exciting and interesting creation of Asadata Dafora, made its official Broadway debut, before a well filled and appreciative audience, at the Little Theatre, Forty-fourth street, west of Broadway. Although it played to a packed theatre at a special performance of Sunday night, it was not until the following evening that critics from several of the metropolitan papers, were present by invitation to review the dance and musical drama. Only two or three local papers carried stories on the performance the following day; other papers, including the New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Journal, the World-Telegram, and the New York Sun, were satisfied to permit earlier appraisals of "Kykunkor" to stand as official reviews.

others who have received favorable criticism for their parts in the drama are Francis Atkins, as Musu Ehami, the bride; Mrs. Madlyn Watson, as Mirammu, the witch woman; Tana Tuguese, and the Burah Chief; Alogobo Alala, as Eboe, the eccentric dancer; and Alma Sutton, as the agunda dancer. Other characters in the opera are the Orobone (chaperon), matrons, maidens and the warriors, who altogether form the chorus and the background for the dances.
A large share of the praise has been rightfully given to Abrodin Salakox, Uno Eno, Sakor Jar, Ezebro Ejhoto, the drummers, who sit to the left of the stage and beat out the various rhythms which are the basis of the entire plot.
Men of the cast are native Africans, but the women are necessarily American, who have been selected because of their native ability to act the parts they play in the cast.

George E. Stone and Wallace Beery, the latter one of the outstanding favorites among local theatre-goers, appear in "Viva Villa," at the Lincoln, beginning tomorrow.
it will be presented on a double bill with Jules Bledsoe in the Ornail-Gruenberg "The Emperor Jonas."
Conspicuous among the newly discovered operatic stars is Miss Abbie Mitchell's soprano. She will make her debut as Santuza at the first performance of "Cavalleria Rusticann."
Other operas now ready for a public performance are I Paglacci," "Lalme," Rigoleto," and "Carmen." In preparation are "Aida" "L'Africana," "Boris Godunoff" and "Otello." The last two will feature Jules Bledsoe as Boris and Lago.
Hailed by critics as a greater picture than the immortal, "Backstreet," "The life of Vivgie Winters," with the two most appealing characters doing screen work playing the romantic leads, comes to the Howard, Saturday. "Midsummer Frolics," a fast moving scivue, will be supporting attraction on the stage.
"The Life of Virgile Winters," starring John Boles, who cantivates the ladies, and Ann Harding, who gives the gentlemen a headache, features Manager Shop Allen's offering for the coming week. "The stage show, though holding a promise of being hot, is being sidelined for the screen production." Miss Harding, rated with Greta Garbo, Norma Sherey, Katherine Hepburn and Anna Sten as the five ranking actresses, portrays the part of a miller tricked out of marrying the town's leading citizen, but whose love for him remains undying throughout the version.
Knowingly filling the position of target for the town gossips, Miss Harding occupies the place of a woman who loves a married man, and who goes to the extreme in sacrifice for the sake of that devotion.
The Saturday midnight show will be held at the usual prices with reserved seats available for those who desire them.
:-Lincoln:-
"Viva Villa," the spectacular story of the life of Pancha Villa which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for the week beginning Friday, is generally classed among the great screen masterpieces of all time.
Filmed largely in Mexico, with Wallace Beery as the star and with an exceptional supporting cast, "Viva Villa" has emerged as one of the truly great productions of recent years. More than 10,000 Mexican natives used during production, as many as 10,000 appearing on the screen at the time. Months were spent by the stars in the remote interior of Mexico, their only means of communication with the outside world being by airplane.
"Viva Villa" is a fictional version of the life and loves of Pancho Villa, the great Mexican revolutionary general, whose name was in the headlines almost constantly in the decade preceding the world war, Opening with Villa as a boy in the hills of Chihuahua, it traces his career through his era of banditry and his subsequent life as revolutionary leader and librator of his people. His love affairs and mad infatuations form some of the highlights of the picture. The battle scenes in the picture, including the storming and capture of Mexico, City have been classed as infamousable. Beery gives easily the greatest performance of his career. With him in the notable cast appear Leo Carrillo, Fay Wray, Stuart. Ervin, Katherine DeMille, George F. Stone, Donald Cask and many others.

Neither gangster nor mystery story "The Crime Doctor" adopts the novel system of taking the audience into complete confidence. A murder is depicted from its inception in the killer's mind to the final dramatic solution of the case, and as the story unfolds not a step is withheld from the audience. However, the final-sharp surprise, which has nothing to do with the solution of the murder case is the big climax.

This is one of a series of occasional articles of outstanding women who are graduates of Howard University, and members of the Howard Women's Club.
Mrs. ALICE NELSON WILLIAMS
An eye on the future and an instinctive taste for home-making have been the basis of the success of this pioneer in the home economics field.
Mrs. Alice Nelson, Williams, product of our Washington schools and then a teacher in the elementary grades, used many of her afternoons and evenings in pursuing courses which eventuated in her bachelor's degree from Howard University. At that time Howard was not granting a degree in home economics, so Mrs. Williams, who had been selected for that field because of her interest and aptitude in it, had to turn to other schools for specialized instruction in her adopted field. This specialization was found at Columbia, Chicago and New York Universities.
Theo' not the first cooking teacher at Dunbar High School, Mrs. Williams is remembered as the pioneer by hundreds of the girls whom she taught in her ten year sojourn at that school. She is now at Armstrong High School, as Dunbar no longer offers courses in her chosen field.
In teaching the loving care of home Mrs. Williams has found an vocation as well as a vocation. It is her hobby, and extends into her home when she has worked out her theories and has seen them blossom in her adopted daughter, Mrs. Mildren Theus Davies, who has imbibed the pioneer spirit herself.
Having been appointed as science teacher, and later promoted is the

Former Tech Radio Expert Loses And Wins Title 3 Times in Week
Rufus P. Turner, Former Armstrong High School Student, Amazes World With Third "Smallest" Set in Radio War With White Competitor
By Ellsworth H. Hopkinson
BOSTON, Mass. — For the last several years, credit for building the smallest radio in the world has gone to Rufus P. Turner, prominent radio expert, who, in spite of American-color feeling, is now holding the responsible post of radio technician at the plant of the Waltham Watch Company, oldest and largest manufacturers of timepieces in this country.
Was Tech Student
As is well known to readers of this paper, Turner set up his miniature radio on a common straight pin in 1924 while a student at Armstrong high school in Washington, D. C. In the succeeding years, the tiny mechanism,sm was shown at all the leading radio expositions here and aboard.
Last year, it amazed thousands of spectators at the Chicago World's Fair. And this year Robert L Ripley, who fascinates the newspaper readers of the world with his daily "Believe If-or-not" cartoon is exhibiting it at the Fair.
Smallest Set Built
Francis Wittemore, while, of Weston, Mass. friend of Turner, and co-worker at the watch factory decided that he could better the record because Turner's set was by no means the smallest possible radio.
Consequently, he set himself at once to constructing a receiver of tinier dimensions in order to attract the championship his way. He bought his product to Turner, who tested it, found it to work perfectly, and relinquished the championship.
"But" says the Boston Post, "Whittimore held the title only
Balk at Insurance Payments; Exhume Bodies
VALDOSTA, Ga, (ANP) — Chemists have been retained by H. B. Edwards, white lawyer of this city, to examine the internal organs of Mitchell Balam, formerly a resident here, but who died several months ago in St. Louis with $50,000 in insurance due his widow. Several of the companies have balked on making payments. The chemists are to determine if there were not violations of contract in the manner of Balam's death.
SUSPECT IN JAIL, FOR "SAFE, KEEPING"
ATLANTA, Ga.—Held in connection with the murder of Dewey Cotton, a white man, in Douglasville last week, Mack Cochrane, 30, and A. L. Linley, 24, were lodged in Fulton tower Wednesday night by Sheriff Mac Abercrombie, of Douglasville for "safe keening."
for 24 hours, on the following day Turner recaptured it with his new radio on the head of a tiny straight pin." Whittmore admitted that he was trumped but applied himself anew to the task of bettering Turner's efforts.
Regains Title
After a few days, he produced a workable radio that eclipsed the pinhead set. This time, however, the title rested with him only for the short time that it took Turner to take from his pocket a still smaller set, already constructed, which was too tiny to be photographed by the daily papers. So, instead, the Boston Traveler made a picture of Turner and Whittmore together and printed it on the front page.
Thus in less than a week, Turner's midget radio at the World's Fair became the fifth smallest in the world, though not leaving the young Negro technician with it the championship for he has built the latest "smallest radio" smashing his own record.
Radio War on
Whittemore has issued a friend- and Turner counterwarns that he shall better Turner's new record, lw warning in interviews that he will meet any attempt of his contender with stiff competition, and furthermore will beat him.
The miniature radio war that these two technicians are staging in Massachusetts has attracted widespread attention and it is believed that Ripley will exchange the little radio he is now showing at the World's Fair for the winning set in the new England competition.
Suit for "Kykunkor" Receivership Dropped
NEW YORK (ANP)—Asadata Defora, originator of "kyukunkor," which opened last week for a successful start on Broadway, won the first round in court when motion for a preliminary injunction for receivership was denied Samuel (Sammy) Manning here last week.

In all school life we the kindergarten to be found several distinct advantages and sometimes we find it hard to decide from which we derive the greatest. In the kindergarten we learn to play with the children, in the middle, in the elementary grades we not only learn to play with other children but to work side by side with them, and to respect authority. These are the reasons to the teacher which is before us in the Junior High School especially in our own Garnet Patterson Junior High which we not only think but know that up to our primary grade we will be working on most walks of life we begin at the bottom and go to the top but in telling the advantages of our beloved school we will begin this time from the top. Our principal is a man of the highest ideals to our own holding of these ideals to us, they are a part of him and he has worked hard and successfully to make them a part of his pupils. He has given us a feeling of being in our own property to be cared for and protected by helping him keep up its present high standard. He has helped by requesting, burgling and insisting on our own needs, this is a banner school.
Our gymnasium is second to none, as shown by the healthy youngsters in all parts of the building.
Our cooking and sewing classes are not only equipped with the best teachers, but also with the modern equipment necessary for their modern classes.
In science we are not asked to take any one's word but were shown either by pictures or practical demonstration what the equipment has done and is doing at the present time.
Our radio equipment has helped us in our music by bringing to us the world's best symphony orchestra, band and singers. Our own orchestra is one of which we have trained. Our organization may be the means of someone making a livelihood.
We have travelled all over the world with our geography teachers, learned what the people in other countries have done and are doing.
We have fought both foreign and domestic wars with our history teachers, have talked over the political situation and even learned that prosperity is around the corner, but whether it is or not, our advice is to stay in the country.
Our coaching classes have helped many pupils who for various reasons had fallen
We have been taught to appreciate the beautiful and chose beautiful things, the colors that harmonize and those that clash. Our English teachers have shown us how to use color in spelling, punctuation and literature. I hope this talk will be credited to them as it is a result of their instructions.
Can any one name any others who have been more patient and more prepared than our language teachers? Do you not see the difference in the way the Roman banquet, Latin recitations and Spanish plays. A distinct advantage to be able to face the public speaking a foreign language, is a well known fact. We have been taught to responds made to appeals from our schools to those in distress. These needy cases are investigated by the visiting teacher. Our curriculum in every form of specialization in every form of activity and the teachers have shown their interest in these clubs by giving voluntary service.
We have our daily crosses has been math with the same kind of efficiency our mathematics teachers have taught us the fundamentals of signs and figures. We have come out of the dark with an assurance that no other school has had the advantage of such a thorough mathematical training.
All of our teachers have been thoroughly trained in the subjects which they teach. We have taught how to be polite and how to conduct themselfs by our guidance teachers. You may wonder why I have stressed the importance of remember, that no matter how many books we may have, no matter how wonderful our equipment, if we had not had our teachers, we would not study, how to control ourselves and how to use the equipments everything would have been lost and our advantages would have been lost. We would not be the hanner school it is today.

Displaying the Flag
By EDWARD LAWSON
While there are no federal laws pertaining to the manner of displaying, hanging, or saluting the United States flag, or prescribing any ceremonies that should be observed in connection with it, there are many regulations and usages, born of national tradition, which have to do with the subject.
When the flag is being raised, it should never be rolled up and hoisted to the top of the staff before being unfurled. Instead, it should be allowed to hang free during the act of hoisting, which should be done quickly and always by hand, never by mechanical appliance. It should be lowered slowly and with dignity, and should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch the ground nor to trail in dirt or water. It should not be hung where it can be soiled easily, or draped over chairs or benches which are to be used for seating purposes. No object or emblem of any kind should ever be placed over or above it.
It should never be festooned over doorways. It should always be allowed to hang straight and never tied in a knot. Where the colors are desired for decorating purposes, red, white, and blue bunting should be used.
The flag should never be hoisted upside down except as a signal of distress. In this case it may, if necessary to make it easily recognized at a distance, be knotted in the middle of its length, forming what is called a "waft." International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another with which it is at peace. When the flag of two or more nations are displayed, they should be on separate staffs, or on separate halyards, of equal length and on the same level. When the national colors are passing on parade, or in review, the spectator should, if walking, halt, and, if sitting, stand at attention, and uncover his head. Where the national flag is displayed with state or other flags, it should always be given the place

of honor on the right. Its use should be confined as much as possible to display upon the staff. When used in unveiling a statue or monument, it should not be allowed to fall to the ground, but should preferably be carried aloft to wave out, thus forming a distinctive feature during the remainder of the ceremony.
Where used as a banner, the "union" should fly to the north in streets running east and west, and to the east in streets running north and south.
Old, faded, and worn-out flags should never be used. When no longer fit for display, the flag should be burned.

Writer Tells of It Of Recently Do
Bob Armstrong's Blow to The Caused Sailor to for Jeffries
By HARVY C
In The Ring and
A few weeks ago word was flashed from Chicago that Rob Armstrong, famous Negro fighter of the days of Jim Jeffries, Sharkey, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jack Johnson, Jim Corbett and other stars of that period, had joined his Maker. He had died after a short illness. Bob was a great fighter in his day, and until his death, he was actively connected with the sport in which he had gained fame. He was instructor, trainer and second to a number of Chicago boys, including Battling Levinsky. Recently, when the Battler appeared in Madison Square Garden for an engagement, Armstrong accompanied him as trainer and chief second.
While in New York Bob told many interesting stories about his ring career, including that of his fight with Jim Jeffries on the night when Jim van out of his fight with Steve O'Donnell. Bob was an excellent fighter, one who carried a terrific wallop in either hand, especially his left, and who also was quite clever. He fought every man of note in the period between 1833 and 1903 and was much sought after by managers as a training partner.
Bob's Powerful Fist
Tim McGrath, famous Coast referee and handler of fighters who, with Tom O'Rourke, managed Tom Sharkey when the sailor was in his prime, tells a story of Armstrong which illustrates the power behind Bob's fists. The story centers around the Jeffries-Sharkey fight at Coney Island on November 3, 1898. Two months previously

Armstrong had met Jeffries in New York in a ten-round mill and it was in that battle that Jeff claimed he had broken his hand and couldn't go on with O'Donnell.
McGrath, eager to teach Sharkey some pointers about the Jeffries' crouch which he had employed in his battle with Armstrong, hired Bob to train Tom. The Jeffries' crouch was an invention of Billy Delaney, Jim's manager, and McGrath made up his mind that he would have Sharkey coached so that he would know exactly how to handle the Boilermaker. And that's where Armstrong came in. We will let Tim tell the story from here.

"I called Armstrong into my room one day and I said to him:
"Now, Bob, you know why I hired you, don't you?"
Given "Some" Job
"Yas, sah, foh to train Tom."
"Exactly, but that's not all. I want you to make him accustomed to the Jeffries' crouch. I want you to work it so often on him that he'll know exactly what to do when Jim crouches."
"Now,' I said, 'I want you to go in the ring with Tom tomorrow and box him just the way that Jeffries is likely to fight him. You know how Jeff fought you. Now do the same with Tom."
"Yas, sah, Mistah McGrath,' he said, 'yas, sah."
"I want you to crouch down low,' I said, 'and when he comes at you, I want you to stay in the crouch and hit him on the ribs just as hard as you can."

does not do him justice; Runt
White, sporting a .438 everage at
Wilberforce the past season, and
Johnnie Haywood, with a .390
average for 18 games.
"Bob seemed a bit dubious. He
looked at me to see if he under-
stood.
"You mean, Mistah McGrath,
he asked, 'that Ah am to knock
him dead if Ah can?'
"That is just exactly what I
mean,' I said. 'You are to hit him
with everything you can put in
your punches.'
Dubious About Task
"Bob started to argue.
"Ah don't know whether Ah want that kind of job," he protested. 'Supposing that Ah don't knock him dead. Then what's goin' to happen to me?' "That's your lookout," I said, 'but you do what I tell you.' "That afternoon when Bob boxed with Sharkey, he deliberately obeyed orders. He crouched, all right, just as Jeffries was supposed to be doing, but he held back his punches. "I had a talk with Bob after the workout was over and saw that, though he might promise, he had no idea of hitting with all his might. So I phoned to Tom O'Rouke, explained the situation, and told him that we must have a man who would do as I wanted. "All right," said O'Rouke, 'you send Armstrong to me and see what I can do with him.'
"The conversation between the two was right to the point. O'Rourke had managed colored fighters so long that he knew just how to deal with them.
"You do as they want you to,' he said decisively.
'But,' protested Armstrong, 'what if Ah get killed?'
"In that case,' said O'Rourke, 'I will see that you get a good funeral with flowers and everything.'
"So Armstrong returned to camp feeling very downcast. 'Mistah McGrath,' he said, 'Ah goin' do just as you and Mistah O'Rourke say; but Ah ain't doin' right by my family; no sah, Ah ain't doin' right.'
"Next day we all gathered around the ring to see how the experiment worked out.
Armstrong Obeys Orders
"Pretty soon, in came Armstrong with the air of a man going to be executed, but, apparently, determined to obey orders at all costs.
"Sharkey, understand, was not in on the play, for we wanted him to learn how to look for the unexpected.
"Armstrong crouched over, sped up, and the first thing we knew, pang! he landed on Sharkey's ribs and sunk in his fist a foot.
"Armstrong, you know, was a great fighter himself. At one time he laid claim to the colored heavyweight championship of the world, and everything he had, he put into that punch.
"Sharkey, not being prepared for the punch, and with the wind knocked completely out of him, keeled over on his hands and knees, and before he could scramble up Armstrong was out of the ring and through the door out of the building.
"I guess it was just as well that he did go so quickly, for when Sharkey arose, he was wild enough to kill us all, and with a curse, he was out of the ring and after Armstrong.
"But Bob, evidently, had figured everything out beforehand, for he was not to be found—not then."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1934
Summer Driving Stresses
| Néed for Safety
The peak of the 1394 driving sea-
son has brought higher speeds than
ever before, faster acceleration,
quicker stopping. Safety is a lead-
ing topic of the day. What are the
causes of accidents under these
new conditions? What can a mo-
torist do to eliminate the most
common causes?
~The first thing to-do is find out
how quickly you can stop. If your
brakes are working well, and you'll
want to see that they are, it will
take you about 249 ft, to stop when
you are going at the rate of 60
‘miles an hour. © Of this total dis-
tance, 45 ft. is thinking time and
194 ft. is actual braking distance.
‘When you travel 70 miles an hour,
it will’ take you 301 ft, to stop.
If you are just moving along slow:
ly, at say 30 miles an hotr, you
may think that you can atop-aimost
instantly. Nob so-—it will take about
66 ft, for a yery alert driver,
Quick stopping ability will do
much toward avoiding accidents at
signal lights, on slippery pave-
‘ments and when. unforeseen cirs
‘cumstances arise, Safety equipment
‘is one thing that you can be sure of,
and it helps to overcome the uncer-
tain human element—yourself and
the other driver, Lights, horns,
‘steering mechanism, rear view mir-
rors, windshield wipers, parts af-
‘fecting pickup such as spark plugs,
are all important, but the most im:
portant single factor is safety at
modern speeds is your tire equip-
ment. Don’t drive on thin worn
tires and don’t buy cheap and in-
ferior new tires.
The recognized speed and endur-
ance contests where men battle for
fame, fortune and world records
will give you a definite idea of the
importance of tire safely. When
professionals buy tires on which
they will risk their lives and stake
their fortunes, they act upon defi-
nite observation ‘and experience,
They choose the tire that will stand
the utmost punishment and nothing
¢an induce them to use any other
tire. It is not a matter of chaneg
Or guesswork that for the past
seven years Firestone tires haye
squivped the winning cars in the
Pike's Peak Contest and for the
past fifteen years have equipped
the winning cars in the Indians
apolis Race.
These drivers know all about
construction, for example the Fixe-
stone patertted construction process
‘of gum-dripping which coats each
fiber within the cord body of the
tire with liquid rubber, It is this
process which makes’ possible @
number of major improvements for
safety in the high speed tire for
1934, including. wider tread, deeper
non-tkid, and” more ant isagbee
rubber,

2 WHITE WOMEN
INDICT HOUSTON
higher court overruled Lowell and
kent the prisoner to Virginia, Hous.
ton'was brought in only because of
his personal friendshin with some
N.A.A.C.P. national officer.
Hints Double-Cross
Then Houston lost the case, He
failed even to get the perfect alibi
witnesses from Boston, He cannot
be excused for this. He says that
he believed Crawford was lying
anyway. If that is so, then he
double-crossed Crawford’ by stay-
ing in the case; he should have got
out of it and allowed some lawyer
to get into the case who could be-
lieve’ Crawford, or who at least
was willing to defend him.
Then Houston, very, inconsisten
ly, says Crawford was lying until
the case was opening, the very day
of it. The falsehood in that can
be seen by an amateur; for if he
had not found out that Crawford
was “lying” until the very hour of
the opening of court, then he would
have had. his alibi witnesses there
from Boston, but the witnesses
were in Boston and: not even sum-
moned by him. One of these wit-
nesses has, even since the trial
made sworn affidavits that he was
sleeping every night in the sam¢
room with Crawford at the time
Crawford was accused of killing
the white woman in Virginia,
Fear or Weakness

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
DR. DUBOIS QUIT DESPITE REFUSAL OF NAACP BORAD
(Continued from page 1) of the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital. In both instances, we protested vigorously and to the limit of our ability the segregation policy. Then when we had failed and knew we had failed, we bent every effort toward making the colored camp at Des Moines the best officers' camp possible, and the Tuskegee Hospital, with its Negro personnel, one of the most efficient in the land. This is shown by the 8th and 14th annual reports of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Board Forbade Criticism
The only thing, therefore, that remains for us is to decide whether we are openly to recognize this procedure as inevitable, or be silent about it and still pursue it. Under these circumstances the argument must be more or less academic, but there is no essential reason that those who see the different sides of this same shield should not be able to agree to live together in the same house.
The whole matter assumed, however, a serious aspect when the board preemptorily forbade all criticism of the officers and policies in the Crisis. I had planned to continue constructive criticism of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Crisis because I firmly believe that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People faces the most gruelling tests which come to an old organization: founded in a day when a negative program of protest was imperative and effective, it succeeded so well that the program seemed perfect and unlimited. Suddenly, by World War and chaos we are called to formulate a positive program of construction and inspiration. We have been thus far unable to comply.
Without Leadership
Today this organization, which has been great and egestive for nearly a quarter of a century, finds itself in a time of crisis and change, without a program, without effective organization, without executive officers, who have either the ability or disposition to guide the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the right direction.
These are harsh and arresting charges. I make them deliberately, and after long thought, earnest egort, and with infinite writhing of spirit. To the very best of my ability and every ounce of my strength, I have since the beginning of the great depression, tried to work inside the organization for its realignment and readjustment to new duties.
I have been almost absolutely unsuccessful. My program for economic readjustment has been totally ignored. My demand for a change in personnel has been considered as mere petty jealousy, and my protest against our mistakes and blunders has been looked upon as disloyalty to the organization.
One Recourse Left
So long as I sit silently by consenting, I share responsibility. If I criticize within, my words fall on deaf ears. If I criticize openly I seem to be wishing dirty linen in public. There is but one recourse, complete and final withdrawal, not because all is hopeless

nor because there are no signs of realization of the possibilities of reform and of the imperative demand for men and vision, but because evidently I personally can do nothing more.
I leave behind me in the organization many who have long thought with me, and yet hesitated at action; many persons of large ideals who see no agents at hand to realize them and who fear that the dearth of ability and will to sacrifice within this organization, indicates a similar lack within the whole race. I know that both sets of friends are wrong, and while I desert them with deep reluctance, it is distinctly in the hope that the fact of my going may arouse to action and bring a great and gifted race to the rescue with a rebirth of that fine idealism and devotion that founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Out of Picture
Under those circumstances, there is but one thing for me to do, and that is to make the supreme sacrifice of taking myself absolutely and unequivocably out of the pie of the National Association forulture, so that heretfer the leaders the Advancement of Colored People, without the distraction of personalities and accumulated animosities, can give their whole thought and attention to the rescuing of the greatest organization for the emancipation of Negroes that America has ever had.
I am therefore insisting upon my resignation, and on July 1 whether the board of directors acts or does not act. I automatically cease to have any connection whatsoever in any shape or form with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I do not, however, cease to wish it well, to follow it with personal and palpitating interest, and to applaud it when it is able to rescue itself from its presen impossible position and reorganize itself according to the demands of the present crisis.
Very respectfully yours
(Signed) W. E. B. DuBois

She then sought a review of the deputy commissioner's decision in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in a mandatory injunction suit. The court dismissed the bill of complaint. The case then went to the Court of Appeals. Scott was resident janitor at the apartments where he lived with his wife and children. Mrs. Scott testified that the last she saw of her husband was about 11:30 p.m. on the night of the fire. She was awakened early in the morning when she heard him leave the bed. She saw a blaze in a part of the basement and saw her husband run towards the boiler room.
Escaped Through Window
Her apartment by that time was fast filling with smoke and all escape through the doors was cut off. She broke open a window in an areaway and pushed her two children into an alley. She followed them. The house was completely gutted by the fire as firemen were hampered in their work by the cold weather. The suit for compensation was brought against B. Earlie Talbott, white, owner of the apartment, and the Royal Indemnity Company which carried insurance on the building. The case was argued in the Court of Appeals on April 9, 1934 and the decision was handed down on June 30.

Miss Dorothy Jones, an employee in the office of the Prudom Taxicab Company, in the Masonic Temple, reported to police of No. 2 Precinct that an armed man held her up in the office of the company early Wednesday morning and escaped with $20.
After taking the money, the robber told her to "stand at the window until I get out of sight." As soon as he left police were called and three men were arrested and held for investigation. However, none was identified by the woman. Police said they recovered about $13 of the allegedly stolen money.

Speech Broadcast
"Only by persistent, unyielding protest will we be heard and answered. Negroes are learning this lesson at the urge of bitter necessity and suffering. Since January 1, 99 new branches of the N.A.A.C.P. have been organized or are in the process of organization.

WOMEN ATTEMPT TO LYNCH MAN IN COURTROOM
One Uses Knife While Another Pulls Concealed Rope from Stepins
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—(ANP)
Deputy Coroner Frank P. Monfort's inquest courtroom was thrown in cold excitement last week with colored woman whose body been killed in a beer night kaped upon Robert E. Miller, alleged slayer, of 5017 Ascot Avenue, and attempted to strangle him with a rope.
Cries of "We want his neck, we're going to lynch that N——" rent the silence of the courtroom as the jury filed out after recommending that a murder complaint be filed against Fuller.
Three of the dead man's sisters attended the trial and suddenly one of them, Mrs. Emily Martin, pulled out a rope that has been concealed in her bloomers and made a lunge for the suspect. Another sister drew a huge knife on the man while the third one took a wild swing at his head with her fist. Jurymen darted under the rail of the courtroom, the judge dugged behind the bench, other women spectators fled and fainted in the corridors while the prisoner chased about the room in frantic efforts to dodge the onslaught of the irate sisters.

WOMAN HOBO IS KILLED BY TRAIN
ATLANTA, Ga.—(ANP) — Mrs. Eva Barnes, a mother, who was attempting to get to the bedside of her sick son in Decatur, which is nine miles from here, was run over and fatally injured last week when she fell from a train on which she was hobbing and was mutilated by the heavy wheels. The woman had failed to secure her passenger fare in Chattanooga, and she grabbed a freight train and hobbed here. In attempting to hop off the train, her foot slipped, throwing her underneath the wheels of the moving train. Her legs and arms were severed from her body. She lived long enough to tell her story to authorities at Grady hospital.

The Younger Set
By
MORRID MURRAY
and
JAMES R. WOOD
The picnic given by Marguerite Pearson at her aunt's home in Virginia last week was a success in every respect. There were no fights, no rows over the other halves, and best of all no drunks. On the way out one of the cars stopped a twilight boy (mama they are everywhere) and asked him to tell them how to get to their destination. He answered in a very feminish manner, "When you get there please give the Pearson my regards."

PICKETING CASE TO BE HEARD
New Negro Alliance Wins Court Tilt With Kaufman Department Store
The New Negro Alliance won a victory in the Kaufman Depart-Store case this week when the Court of Appeals overruled the store management's motion to dismiss the Alliance's appeal and decide the case on its merit.
Kaufman conducts a store in the 1300 block of Seventh Street, Northwest, a Negro neighborhood. The Alliance placed pickets in front of the store last December when Harry Kaufman owner, refused hire colored clerks.
The court granted Kaufman a temporary injunction. The Alliance appealed the case.
The organization has also secured a large number of clerks in the A. and P. stores and 12 in the Sanitary stores.
The first skirmish between the Alliance and the Public Utilities has resulted in conferences with all of the officials of the P.U. in which the question of Negro employment was discussed. J. Audrey Davis is administrator of the Alliance and Josephine C. Davis secretary.
TWO SCOTTBORO BOYS MAY DIE Execution of Patterson and Norris Ordered by State Tribunal
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (ANP)—If Alabama justice prevails, Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, two of the Scottsboro boys, will die in the electric chair, Friday, August 31.
The Alamanda Supreme court set that day for the execution Thursday when it returned a unanimous opinion upholding the convictions in the Circuit court.
In their opinions, the justices denied every contention of the defense.
With a bewildering use of legal verbage, they showed how the Negro is not excluded from jury service in Jackson County, Ala., how Judge W. W. Callahan may have had "one or two fits or impatience," but conducted an impartial trial, threw on the bill of exceptions on behalf of Patterson on a moot technicality, and as one man condemned the boys to die.
Word was received immediately that the International Labor Defense will carry the case to the United States Supreme Court which once before reversed the convictions in the lower courts. Associated in the plea to the high court will be Samuel S. Leibowitz, who tried the cases, Osmund K. Fraenkel, who prepared the appeal to the Alabama court, and Joseph Broadsky, chief LL.D. counsel.
Whites Kick Smoky City Pastor-Detective in Face
PITTSBURGH, Pa., —A. V. B. Hightower, former "crusading pastor," was kicked in the face by a group of irate whites who took issue to the fact that he was arresting "Hymie" Herman Dixon, alleged Jewish numbers baron of the Hill district last Saturday noon. "Rev." Hightower who has license to operate as a private detective, has made front page headlines here for the past eight years or so since he became a detective.
Interior Department Office Urges Negroes to Protest
OKLAHOMA CITY Oka—Invitation to colored people to make known the "inefficient" or "hurtful" operation of various new deal policies was extended by Oscar L. Chapman, assistant secretary of the interior here Thursday at the 58th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Chapman outlined the broad aims of the Roosevelt program and assured the delegates that there was a friendly administration in Washington.

NEW SWIM CENTER CLEARED IN LAD'S EYE INFECTION
Banneker Pool Not to Blame For Boy's Ailment Says Physician
The belief that Frederick Bryant, 19 years old, had suffered an infection from swimming in the waters of the new Banneker Swimming Pool, were found to be groundless by a Tribune investigation which took up the greater part of the week. Reporters were advised Thursday morning that young Bryant's infection was self-inflicted. The lad, visitor to the city stopping at 1759 T Street, Northwest, became ill shortly after a dip in the Georgia Avenue tank, last Tuesday. He was carried to Freedmen's Hospital and found to be suffering an infection of the eye. A cursory examination by hospital physicians disclosed that the member had been recently infected. Friends immediately concluded that his swim in the pool had been the contributing factor.
Dr. A, H. Simmons, under whose attention the lad came shortly after his confinement to the institution, told the Tribune Thursday morning, that the eye ailment was simply the result of a transfer of the infection from another part of his body. There is no foundation to the general fear that the waters of the pool were responsible Dr. Simmons stated.
Manager Assails Likelihood
Manager Assails Likelihood
John Harris, manager of the
Banneker Pool, declared that his
first knowledge of the affair came
to him when the Tribune sought
him for a statement. He asserted
that a total of 10,192 persons had
used the aquarium during the 10
days of its operation, and that none
of them save young Bryant had
had any unfavorable reaction. In
denying the likelihood of the lad's
ailment being a result of lack of
sanitation on the part of the plant,
Mr. Harris testified that the waters
of the Banneker center are inspected
by public health officials twice
weekly, and that those individuals
had given the Georgia Avenue
institution the highest rating in
the city for the last two inspections.
Captain Guy Finnan, superintendent of Public Buildings and Parks was unaware of the rumors, and stated that no information had come to him regarding the probability of unsanitary conditions at the Banneker Center.
SUMMER SCHOOLS ENROLL 3,526
Number Includes Enrollment at High Schools and Nine Elementary Schools
A high total of 3,562 pupils were enrolled in the summer school which opened for a 30-day period beginning last Monday, according to the figures released early this morning (Thursday) by Clarence O. Lewis, director of Summer and Evening Schools.
This total includes the enrollment at the Dunbar High School, the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School and nine elementary schools. Dunbar had 1,265 entered and Garnet-Patterson, 645.
The enrollment at the elementary schools are as follows: Bell, 289; Burrville, 132; John H. Cook, 254; Garrison, 189; Giddings, 219; Lovaj, 167; Mott, 161; Phillips, 115; and Sumner, 126. The schools were closed all day Wednesday for the celebration of the 158th anniversary of Independence Day but reopened today for the remainder of the term.
Washington Man Commits Suicide in Pittsburgh
According to information received here Wednesday, Henry E. Carr, 39, of 1306 R Street, Northwest, committed suicide by jumping in the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Word from Pittsburgh said Carr jumped from a bridge spanning the river and police were dragging the waters in search of his body. His identity was established by a coat, in which the name and Washington address was found, was left behind on the bridge. Police also located a letter addressed to Mrs. E. P. Carr of the R Street address. At his home here, it was said that he left the city two weeks ago in search of employment.
CONDITION OF DR. ROWAN
GRAVE
VICKSBURG, Miss. (ANP) — Very little hope is held for the recovery of Dr. L. L. Rowan, president of Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College, now seriously ill in the Vickersburg Infirmary. The physicians attending him admit that his hold on life is very slim and twice members of his family have been called to witness the end. Each time, however, he rallied. His heart and kidneys are affected. Dr. Rowan has been at Alcorn 25 years and has been president for 29 of these.

500 Attend Wedding of Carson-Williston
(Continued from page 1).
bride carried an exquisite bouquet of white roses, and white orchids with a ribbon shower, entwined with lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids were effectively dressed in pink mousseline de soie, with pink hats to match, trimmed in blue. The dresses were finished with pink and blue sashes. They wore pink gloves and carried gorgeous arm bouquets of blue delph fennel and pink roses, tied with blue satin ribbon.
The matron of honor was charming in blue mousseline de soie, with matching hat of blue trimmed in pink, and wearing blue gloves. She carried a beautiful bouquet of dark delph fennel and pink roses, tied with pink satin ribbon.
The little flower girl] was very sweet in a delicate long cape greenway dress, with a chin-tied bonnet, and carried a beautiful basket of pink rose and lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Carson, the bride's mother was radiantly beautiful in a peach colored lace creation, the large cape of which was clasped with a shell pink buckle set with diamonds. The girlde was also caught with a shell pink buckle set with diamonds. Mrs. Carson wore a large brown picture hat, with a lace brim. She wore gloves to match and rose champaign sandals, trimmed with shell pink. She wore a shoulder bouquet of salmon pink rose buds and lilies of the valley, and carried a beautiful pink briffton kerchief
Mrs. Mary Beeler, mother of Mrs. Carson, and grandmother of the bride, was lovely in a buff colored chiffon with orchid figures, with white shoes and hat to match. Immediately following the ceremony, a reception was held at the spacious home of the bride's parents, at 1913 Third Street, Northwest. The Carson home, which is considered one of the most handsome in Washington, was transformed into a veritable flower garden. The yard itself is a classic, with its pretty water-lily pool, where gold fish swim throughout the day, its lovely rose garden its bird bath, and its winding Spanish brick colored paths. The garden is outlined with tall and stately poplar trees.
The reception, which was beautifully served on the verandas and in the conservatory by Charles Shipley of Baltimore, and ably assisted by a cohort of liveried waiters, was enjoyed by more than five hundred guests which came from the North, South, East and West. The home was decorated by Charron, formerly of Blackistone, and consisted of a profusion of palms, ferns, pedestals of gladiolous and roses. A footman and doorman received the arriving guests.
Dr. and Mrs. Williston left immediately for Saratoga New York, where they are enjoying a honeymoon. The bride's traveling suit was of brown chiffon with a tread of orange, a small brown hat trimmed with orange, brown shoes, and a white pocketbook with ivory handles. She wore a corsage, which was made from her bridal bouquet. They left amid a shower of rice, old shoes and all that goes with a newly-wedded couple. The presents, which are by far too numerous to mention, were both costly and handsome, and represented a variety of exquisite tastes. Dr. George W. Carver, scientist of Tuskegee, sent a hand-painted landscape, all of the material of which he made himself, from his famous bi-products; the canvas on which he made the painting, the paints and the frame.
Upon their return to the city, Dr. and Mrs. Williston will make their home temporarily with Mrs. David A. Williston of 1122 Fairmont Street., Northwest, until they go into their new home, which will be a presentation of the groom's father, David A. Williston, of Tuskegee Institute.
Bishop Shot to Death by Jealous Husband
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Jealous of the attention the Rev. James Davis, self-styled bishop, was paying to his wife and the minister's desire to take Mrs. Helen Strother to Columbus, resulted in the fatal shooting of the preacher by Robert Strother last Monday.
The Rev. Mr. Davis was shot in the stomach. Ht was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he died. He was pastor of the church and claimed he was bishop in charge of the western district. Church of God and Saints of Christ. He roomed with the Strothers.

WHITE TEXAN GETS 5 YEARS FOR AFFAIR WITH GIRL, 12 PHILADELPHIA—Harry Williams, 35 years old, a white Texan was found guilty of criminally enticing a 12-year-old schoolgirl for the purpose of immoral relations, by a jury of 12 white men sitting in Quarter Sessions Court last Thursday. Judge Otto Helligman sentenced the white moron to serve from one to five years at hard labor in the Eastern Penitentiary. Beatrice Bell, 12 years old, 1818 Callowhill Street, was the prosecuting witness.
numerous hotels, inns and private homes offered ready jobs to them. But it is the same old story—the Depression. It has had its fling among the rich here as elsewhere. At present the student's chances of getting employment here is very poor. The few jobs that are to be had are to be filled by the low-wage local laborer.
The conditions at this mountain resort are just samples of what the students have to face at all vacation points this summer. Cheap labor will be their one great drawback. Then, too, the student, from the beginning, are at a disadvantage in their quest for jobs. Since they are engaged in increasing their knowledge on educational matters for the better part of the year, they come from the classrooms to seek employment during the worst season. They also find that the small part time jobs are now filled by year-round workers. We must admit that these are very trying times for the ambitious poor student. But the most of them have nerve and a determination to do or die. Let us all wish them luck for they really need it this day.

Where Democracy Reigns
In all Washington, the cradle of democracy, there is but one place where all races may go and be on a common level.
This place is not a church or cathedral where one hears much preaching about the brotherhood of man, and of Christ who made no distinction as to race or color.
This place is not the "halls of justice" on Capitol Hill where one can hear much braying (during congress) of the land of the free and home of the brave. In these same halls one also hears of a constitution which guarantees all men equality. Occasionally one hears of certain amendments in this document—namely the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth.
Griffith Stadium, a baseball park where many ministers tell us not to go, is the only spot in Washington where all races congregate and for a period of an hour or so, color is forgotten. It will be through such places as these that race problems, prejudices and racial hatreds will be solved, and not in congress or churches.

Character Training
Realizing that something is fundamentally wrong with the present system of education, a group of superbrain trusters are here at a salary of "no more than $50 a day" experimenting with a "new discovery," character education. For some reason this group of braintrusters have just discovered that character is an essential trait and should be taught children.
Character training begins before the child is born and starts in the home. Before a child reaches school age his character is formed. A teacher may assist in a cooperative way, but it's the parents who form character in children. A better time to start is before the mother of the child is born.

"Closed Criticism"
Dr. W.E.B. DuBois quit the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on July 1 when the association failed to act on his resignation he submitted on June 11.
The former Crisis editor and educator states that the main reason for his break with the N.A.A.C.P was due to the fact that the board forbade him to criticise the association in its official organ, The Crisis. Dr. DuBois called it "constructive criticism."
The association no doubt would have welcomed this "constructive criticism" if the editor had done his criticising in board meetings and not in the organ which the NAACP financed and by the editor whose salary was paid by the association.
What newspaper owner would permit an editor to criticise the paper and its policy in that paper's columns?

It is time to stop and think for the future. It is time to plan and act also. Clubs and organizations should not simply dance and drink away the wonderful opportunity they have to contribute to the community and race's future. Solid, constructive work should accompany their pleasures, for the good of all concerned, and to better appreciate the pleasures when they do have them.

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, Pa.
Now that college classes have adjourned for the Summer months, it is time for all available jobs to come to the aid of the many self-supporting students. Along highways and byways, over hills and through vallies, the army of unemployed students are on the march looking for means to reimburse bank accounts that have long been depleted. Some of them shall be successful in 'landing your thing', while others shall find themselves following after a mile all the vacation days.
Up here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where this is written, the struggling young man who wished to work his way through school found a sort of paradise. The

The hearace of Lice
President Roosevelt has gathered about him the progressive minds of the country to formulate plans and policies for the New Deal. Ordinarily mediocre minds run American politics, unlike England and Germany where the best trained minds enlist in the government service. A genuine thinker in American politics is generally ridiculed as a doctrinaire. But President Roosevelt has cut across the old tradition and has enlisted the best talent of the schools and colleges to recruit the government personal. The government constitutes the highest agency in society and should command the "Best we breed" to conduct its affairs. To readjust the industrial, economic and political and social regiment of the nation to the requirements of present day demands demands the minds of the highest caliber and finest quality. The brain trust has been requisitioned to save the nation from the rocks to which it was headed under the old mediocre regime.
Mr. Roosevelt has also called or retained in the public service the most intelligent and thoughtful group of colored men that has ever recruited the public service. They are, to a man, men of academic training and intellectual respectability. Even his appointees of a purely political character possess college and professional training. Robert L. Vann and Dr. Thompkins measure up to this requirement. Judge Cobb, up to now retained, and we hope to be retained on the District of Columbia bench, is a collegiate and a law graduate. Academic equipment is especially noticeable in the colored governmental contingent who hold special assignments under the New Deal. A list of the names will disclose the caliber and equipment of those within this catagory. Euof Labor, and Oxley, Special Assistant in the Department of Labor; Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in Higher Education; Forester B. Washington, Special Assistant in the Department of Labor and Oxley, Special Assistant in the Department of Agriculture—not to mention the several Assistants to Mr. Clark Howell Foreman in the Department of the Interior, reveal a body of highly trained Negro experts and specialists such as has never been known before in the public service.
Under the old regime prominent Negroes were awarded places in the Federal Government as reward for political activities in the campaign. Little or no regard was paid to their special fitness or qualification for the posts assigned. Indeed in the main their positions were looked upon as sinecures. They were hardly expected to render any essential public service but to keep open house and keep the political bosses in good humor. Theodore Roosevelt was the first President to exact high grade, efficient public service of his colored appointees. Up to that time, some reliable white man was given a subordinate post and was expected to do the real work of the office and to humor the black chief as a dignified figure head and to advise him where to sign on the dotted line. From their official station these Negro office holders were expected to keep the race in line with the policies of the administration and to direct racial partisan support for the next campaign.
The question is often asked, "What is the Negro Brain Trust doing under the New Deal?" The only fair answer is that it has not yet been given time and opportunity to adjust itself to the new situation. These well trained and highly equipped Negro experts must shortly give an account of their stewardship or stand belittled, if not discredited in the public estimation. The Negro today stands in the most critical position which he has occupied since emancipation. What is the New Deal calculated to do for him? Where will he be be when the cards have been dealt? What will be his status in industry, agriculture, trade, transportation and business? No intelligent answer has yet been vouchsafed to these queries. The official Negro brain trust must be busily engaged upon pondering an answer. We must be patient and give sufficient time to study and digest the situation. It will not be sufficient for these brain trusters to perform efficiently the ministerial tasks marked out for them. They must blaze the way and show the race how to walk therein. The fall campaign is approaching, the old lint politicians are gegging ready for their accustomed attack upon the administration and its New Deal. I can now sit down a write out the outline of every campaign speech with which the opposition spellbinders will fill the air during the approaching campaign months. Their stock in trade is severely limited. The Negro brain trust must bestir itself to dispel the charge which is sure to be made concerning its inaction, non-effectiveness and inutility.
I believe in the brain trust for the government at large as well as for the Negro group. The mind should not only agitate the masses but guide them in the way they should go.

Discriminatory Wage Rate Petition Denied
Denied a petition from the Central Weaving and Spinning Company, at Fayetteville, N.C., concern, for a wage differential that would have affected 500 Negro workers in the silk mills of the company.
Specifically, the southern concern requested exemption from paying the minimum wage of 12.00 a week prescribed by the code authorities, and its presence before the Labor Advisory Board was a direct appeal from the local compliance Board, which had denied the concern the right to establish the discriminatory wage differential.
Representing the company at the hearing were Walter S. McRae, prominent attorney; W. O. Husk, president Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce; J. A. Neides, president of the spinning company, and Max Lefkowirz, treasurer.
These men said that the company could not pay Negroes an equal wage with whites, and that they doubted if it ever could. The reason they gave was "Negro inefficiency," although they admitted having colored workers in their employ for the past thirty years. This paroxial admission is believed to have strengthened the position of the colored workers, and, as semi-official observers, pointed out, the company most likely enjoined from displaying its Blue Eyes until they have fully complied with the NR. act of no wage discrimination. Other reasons given were "loworals" and "natural inaptitude."
The hearing was enlivened by the appearance of Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief of the division of Negro Labor, U.S. Department of labor who strentously championed the rights of the colored workers by vigorously protesting against the granting of the petition. He spoke very convincingly as being opposed to any wage differential based on color, and said that he saw no reason why underpaid and unprivileged Negro workers should not receive the same wages accorded members of other groups.
At the same time, another attempt was discussed whereby Negro leaders sought to uphold another southern concern in its demands for a wage differential for colored workers. A letter was presented the Board, said to have been written by J. W. Blackburn, principal of the E. E. Smith High School of Fayetteville, C.C., and E. O. Armstrong, teacher in that school, in which the two upheld the concern's intention for a wage differential for members of their race.
The NRA's Labor Advisory Board Tuesday denied a petition from the Central Weaving and Spinning Company, at Fayetteville, N.C., concern, for a wage differential that would have affected 500 Negro workers in the silk mills of the company. Specifically, the southern concern requested exemption from paying the minimum wage of $12.00 a week prescribed by the code authorities, and its presence before the Labor Advisory Board was a direct appeal from the local Compliance Board, which had denied the concern the right to establish the discriminatory wage differential.

Neides, president of the spinning company, and Max Lefkowitz, treasurer.
These men said that the company could not pay Negroes an equal wage with whites, and that they doubted if it ever could. The reason they gave was "Negro inefficiency," although they admitted having colored workers in their employ for the past thirty years. This paradoxial admission is believed to have strengthened the position of colored workers, and as semi-official observation pointed out, the company most likely enjoined from displaying its Blue Eyes until they have fully complied with the NR. act of no wage discrimination. Other reasons given were "low-morals" and "natural inaptitude."
The hearing was enlivened by the appearance of Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief of the Division of Negro Labor, U.S. Department of Labor who strenously championed the rights of the colored workers by vigorously protesting against the granting of the petition. He spoke very convincingly as being opposed to any wage differential based on color, and said that he saw no reason why underpaid and underprivileged Negro workers should not receive the same wages accorded members of other groups.
At the same time, another attempt was discussed whereby Negro leaders sought to uphold another southern concern in its demands for a wage differential for colored workers. A letter was presented the Board, said to have been written by J. W. Blackburn, principal of the E. E. Smith High School of Fayetteville, N.C., and E. O. Armstrong, teacher in that school, in which the two upheld the concern's petition for a wage differential for members of their race.
Ain't humans funny! Kelly Miller retires from his services at Howard University and then tells the university and the world what he thinks is wrong with the institution, in short, adversely criticises the policies and performances of the college, and his fellow-humans (especially those who support the administration and the institution) ery out: "What a shame! to jump on the college just as soon as he gets out from under its authority."
Why did he not criticize the college while he was an employee? Why did he not tell these things long ago—why did he not attack the school while it was paying him," etc., etc. Now if Kelly Miller had presumed to attack the school and stay in it at the same time, these SAME ILLOGICAL humans, with just as good grace and with the same unconsciousness of their bias and the logic of bias, would have exclaimed: "Put him out, the soundrell. The very nerve of him, trying to attack an institution while he is in its employ!
"If he wants to attack the administration, he ought to have had the honor and honorableness to resign first. If he had not got outside and then begun his attacks, we would not mind," etc. etc.
There is no satisfying such humans. What they mean is that they are biased and prejudice in favor of their side, whatever it happens to be,—and that nobody should attack it from anywhere,—from inside or from outside. When one attacks and exposes, they seize whatever pretext they can lay hands on, with supreme lack or logic themselves, to attack the logic or lack of logic in his position. You cannot satisfy such humans except by just plainly taking their side, whatever that is. We always smile when we read their passionate moralizations in such cases,—for we know that there is no moral sense in them,—it is just partizanship, pure and simple.
Our position is that a fair and decent attack on the policies of any institution should be permitted from either the inside or the outside of it. The merit of the attack itself should have more weight than the direction from which it comes. I set that up as more logical and more useful than either of the other positions. I am always suspicious of a fellow who tries to shut the mouth of criticism, decently aimed, from any side.
We do not mean this as any comment on the justness of the criticisms which Dr. Miller directs against the conduct of affairs at Howard. We have respect for Kelly Miller and for Howard University. But what we are trying to do here, is to point out the poor partisan "logic" of human beings—Even God is not above fair, honest and thoughtful criticism. That is what he made our brains for.

The national office of the Urban League has received many letters commenting upon our proposed labor program—from editors, mechanies, teachers, ministers, farmers, and a variety of other sources.
All expressed pleasure that the League had launched a program to help improve the economic status of the Negro worker. A striking similarity in point of view has shown in letters and comments about our program made by a Negro nurse, social worker, teacher and postal employee—they express general sympathy for the plight of the Negro worker but in a manner that seemed to overlook the fact, that they, too, are workers.
Judge Horton's Action in the Scottsboro Case Loses Judgeship for Him
Leading in national significance in Alabama's run-off primary was the defeat of Judge James E. Horton in the Eighth Judicial Circuit. Judge Horton lost, three to two, to A. A. Griffiths of Cullman.
In retiring Judge Horton from service on the bench, the voters of the Eighth district, which comprises Morgan county, the seat of which is Decatur, indicated in the best way they knew how their desire to see the Scottsboro boys punished.
Judge Horton was catapulted into the national spotlight when he was chosen to preside at the second Scottsboro trial at which Heywood Patterson was found guilty and sentenced to die. On a motion for a new trial from Patterson's attorneys, Judge Horton set aside the verdict in the second trial.
He rendered a painstaking legal opinion in which he held that the evidence produced by the state did not justify the verdict. There was an immediate reaction throughout the state. Judge Horton was denounced, not merely by the masses, or mob, but by others who have distinguished themselves as leaders and directors of mob sentiment. Among these was former United States Senator Thomas J. Heflin.
These leaders organized to prevent Judge Horton from presiding at the third trial. Judge W. W. Callahan was substituted in his place.
At the same time, a mouth-to-mouth campaign against Judge Horton was carried on, even before the time for the first primary. The feeling against Horton had grown to such proportions before the primary that he decided not to run, rather than to risk being defeated. However, business and professional interests in the district got behind him and persuaded him to make the race. The "better element" behind Horton showed the same lack of power that is usually demonstrated in southern communities when it comes to grips with the man in the street.
Two candidates opposed Horton in the first primary. The Scottsboro judge got by by the skin of his teeth, winning the right to enter the run-off against Griffith. The "better element" became so alarmed over Horton's hairbreadth escape in the first primary that they stiffened their resistance for the run-off. Responsible agencies in all parts of the state sought the re-election of Horton to prove to the world that Alabama would stand behind a judge who stood behind his convictions regardless of the sentiment of the mob. But the overalls of the Eighth district had the voting power and they determined to place a honest judge on the sidelines. In the nomination of a governor,

Your regular editor left for his hometown filled with anticipation of partaking once more of that good old southern hospitality.

The jim crow lunch room in the Department of Commerce works so well that they have now inaugurated the same policy at the new soda fountain. Several elevator conductors had to take their drinks on the outside.

Three members of the American Federation of Government Employees are working on important committees of the New Negro Alliance. This is one of the organizations of this city that will be frequently heard from in the future, their work effects all classes of persons, and are actually procuring employment for Negroes in positions heretofore closed to them. It is up to government employees to boost this organization and educate Negroes to the fact that where their money is spent they are intitled to work.
Some time ago a group of prominent citizens called on former President Hoover protesting the retaining of Negro workers in the custodial grade (a common practice among superior officers) which is not written in to the Civil Service rules.

the Negroes of Alabama seem to have been fortunate. The present governor has been a somewhat colorless character, lacking in those broad social interests which have characterized former executives. Last Tuesday, Bibb Graves governor from 1927 to 1931, was re-elected, the first man who has been able to turn the trick in 30 years.
He defeated Frank Dixon of this city. During the campaign Dixon explained his opposition to the federal child labor amendment on the grounds that under a federal law, 300,000 Negro children in Alabama might escape a life of toil.
Graves was accused by Dixon of being the klan candidate and of reviving the klan/
However, during Graves' former term as governor, Negroes had cause to be thankful for some of the measures he espoused. One of these was the setting up of a state law enforcement commission. Through this commission the governor was empowered to go into lawless communities in which there had occurred mob violence and take appropriate steps to stamp it out.
Although lynchings occurred during Graves' administration, an effort was made by this commission to punish those responsible. Sheriffs were removed and other guilty persons were punished.
When Gov. Miller took office, one of his first acts was to abolish the state law enforcement commission.

Negro Brain Trusters to Go Forth and Tell of New Deal
Now that Congress has adjourned and Senators and Congressmen have gone to repair their political fences, Administration is girding its loins to present the people of the country with a realist's picture of the true conditions of the nation, together with one of its accomplishments since the inauguration of its New Deal almost eighteen months ago. It will make this presentation very shortly, in anticipation of the Congressional elections not far off.
And it is almost safe to say every man available—key-men drawing huge salaries from the Federal government—will be deployed and pressed into service in the field to tell the people how wonderful their country is today, and what has been done by President Roosevelt to help the American people onward from the day Herbert Hoover left off by popular demand.
What is true of the white heralders of the New Deal, will also be true of the colored. For almost every colored man or woman hold-inp a position of authority and distinction in and out of Washington will be expected to go forth and tell the people that Democracy's New Deal is the boon of the people, and by this they will learn that every person, regardless of race, color, or creed, has benefited from the New Deal.
But most likely these men will meet with a lot of opposition. The Republicans are just waiting around the corner with a stuffed gun for something to be said for them to pounce on and then try to shoot it full of holes. And the burden of proof will be on the shoulders of the Administration and its spokesmen. To place the "ins" on the defensive is an old trick of political strategy. The "uots" are now the Republicans, and they will be on the offensive from the start to finish. Those who are in are naturally intrenched with the power that comes from patronage and authority, and all they have to do is to lean out of the window and hurl back the brickbats at the besiegers.
The Democrats, however, will have plenty to show the Republicans, and, barring accidents, they stand a good chance of convincing the voters that they have a record hard to bring down from its perch. It will be easy for them to point out with pride at what has so far been done for the Negro. They will say that the Negroes' interests have been protected, and that good jobs have been given men of the race from one end of the country to the other. And this, they will add, is more than any other Administration has every done.
But to effectively convince, they will have to clarify their position and prove just what all these jobs mean to the welfare of the Negro group in general, and particularly to the little fellow on the street. Most likely they will do so by pointing out to the record, which, in many instances, trascends almost everything that has been tried before in the interests of the Negro race in America.
Race As Whole Considered
However, one point is very clear to those who have been watching the workings of the New Deal in respect to the Negro at close range, and that is that the Administration itself is trying awfully hard to work out something constructive for the race at large, and that it has not overlooked any reasonable demand for assistance and co-operation, which range all the way from placing Negro case workers in the administration of relief to the saving of a home in some remote corner of the country.
But even then, the Republicans will cling to straws when it comes to tearing down this argument. They have not done so well themselves in this direction in the past, all arguments to the contrary, but most likely they will make an attempt to say that the jobs of some of these men are "rubber-stamp" jobs meaning little or nothing to the mass of Negroes throughout the country. Although this argument would be weak and far-fetch-

product a local talent show.
Many employees of the Department of Commerce were amazed last Saturday to see the group of white women picketing the building in protest to the ousting of a A.F.G.E. President. It seems that they along with others think that the man in question was dismissed because of his A.F.G.E. work.
The new deal for the Government Printing Office began Monday. The new public printer's presence will not be felt until he starts dishing out the political patronage. They say that a plan of the retiring public printer was nipped in the bud, and had it gone through, many a Democrat would have been jobless prior to the change of the administration. This is the first time that I have ever heard of a spoils system worked by the retiring administration.
District Commissioner Allen wants votes for the District, and so do many others. Federal workers who have no vote and no veteran preference stand a poor chance of pushing measures that they would like to have put through. The only hope is that some one from the states will see their congressman about their troubles. Maybe with a vote Negroes will do as those in Chicago and send a man of color to fight for us. Here's hoping that Mr. Allen will be successful in his venture.
Enrollment of 160,000 men in the Civilian Conservation corps began early this week in all sections of the country. The District has $28 places and as many are finding employment in private concerns—there may be more. If any reader wishes to find out more about this he should write the Director, at the War Department, Mr. Robert Fechner.

To Tell of New Deal

ed. the odds are a hundred to one that they will cling to it like a drowning sailor to a straw.
First Lady Shows Interest
But that something tangible and lasting has been done, there is no question. President Roosevelt himself has seen to it that the colored race and its problems are given prompt and just consideration, while Mrs. Roosevelt has also displayed a great deal of interest in the welfare of all minority groups, and the Negro is no exception to the rule.
Again, as to Negro New Dealers, it must be said that they are working strenuously hard toward the solution of such problems as come under their respective jurisdiction. Intra-departmental and inter-departmental conferences have been held in which the needs of the race have been discussed at length, and there have been no "meally-mouthings" from the part of these men when they asked for what they felt members of their race should have under the New Deal.
But now that the Congressional elections are approaching, the result of which will determine just how far the people have intelligently adopted the New Deal's teachings of social and economic advancement, these men will probably have to lay down their tool and show the people throughout the States just how far they have travelled under Mr. Roosevelt's leadership, and how far they expect to get. They will have to show, too, that so far their incumbency has not gone to waste, and that their future in office is not going to seed.
Some of these men, however, will not be able to place their finger on just what they definitely have done to improve the lot of the colored race under the New Deal. Their work does not stand out for the simple reason that they form no part of the "live" departments, or of those agencies daily in the spotlight. These are the outright politicians who stand on the sidelines and help formulate policies without being called upon to execute a single one of them. Seldom, if ever, do they openly project themselves into the swift current of events, although their influence is constantly felt, sometimes near, sometimes afar.
Even the most seasoned observers conjecture on what this group of men will say aside of how and why they got their jobs. But that they will have plenty to say, is a foregone conclusion. For they are the trained salesmen of the whole program, the stand-patters and spokesmen of the party that made the program possible of realization. Without their help it would have been a bit difficult for the Administration seriously to think of the colored man and his problems. It was they who helped elect men and women whose Congressional support gave Mr. Roosevelt the power to do the things that he has done for the American people.
But like anything that is gotten out of appreciation, these politicos will have to continue to prove their worth to the party. They cannot sit idly by one minute of their day and see the "enemy" tear down their prestige and their gains. They will have to get up early these summer mornings and keep up the work they started back in 1932, when they pierced through Herbert Hoover's cuirass.
However, all things being equal, what the Republicans will have to say is not a matter of conjecture, not even at this early date. For they are already snipping at the New Deal and, like the elephant that represents them, they seem to forget nothing, no matter how trivial it may be. So they will have to do better than that if they hope to put up a good show, if they want to get anywhere and show that the pachyderm is not dead. Mere arrow-shooting at the edifice Mr. Roosevelt and his New Dealers have built during the past year will not suffice. The people out in the country, who decide who shall lead and who shall not, will want to know what is all the shoot-in about, and the why and where-for of their shoutings.

Always the light shade is in the front and the tones grow gradually darker until the back of the stocking is reached. Haven't seen you wear them yet, but I do know a cute little "trick" not quite four doors away who could even go in for a fad like that and come out looking chic.

Ran across Mr. and Mrs. Roy Nelson the other day. The charming Marion was quite modishly dressed in black with smart white accessories. If you will peep into the past a bit you will remember ever so many parties on P Street (No. 412 I think was the number). Those were the days when Marion, her husband, Roy, her interesting sister, Edith, and pretty Pinkie Wylie (now Mrs. Alphonzo Adams of Forty-eighth Street, Northeast) all helped to make 412 P Street a lovely place to live in. The P Street home knows that happy throng no longer. Edith has moved to First Street, Pinkie is now adorning Deanwood. But the party habit is still with the Roy W. Nelsons. And every now and then dear Marion will give your phone a ring and say "Come on out to Adams Street, there's something on tonight."

Weddings Hold Stage Over the Past Week
By VIVIAN T. TURNER
June, the month for brides has passed and with it three popular young ladies of the social whirl of the Nation's Capital] have taken on marital] bliss and have begun their new life with castles built high in the air.
The Marshall-Ryan union writes back from Long Island that everything is fine and life is now really worth while; the Tignor-Duncans have moved into their new palatial home, Sixteenth and T Streets, Northwest, and are using all kinds of interior decorating ideas to perfect one of the most novel, interesting and comfortable homes the Capital may boast of—and what fun they are having doing so; the Carson-Willistons principals in Washington's most recent marriage, have not had much time to recuperate from the long string of congratulations to know what it is all about—however from all reports, the wedding was beautiful every detail had been most systematically worked out and the reception at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Simeon L. Carson after the ceremony, was likewise carried out without a hitch. As Louie would say "our chids to all concerned."
This week carrien with it a welcome holiday. Everyone was extremely glad to don holiday apparel—halters and shorts or slacks or bathing suits or what not and breeze to either a nearby beach or up to the Nation's playground, Atlantic City. The members of the Mu-So-Lit Club their families and friends motored to Highland Beach where a jolly picnic was scheduled; many private parties were staged at Sparrows Beach, Carr's Beach, Eagle Harbor and other nearby watering places. Of course there are always who after all believe that there's no place like home and stayed home to enjoy the cool of the evening in their recreation rooms or on the porches comfortably attired. "As You Like It" is the cry of the public.
Chalcedony Inn continued its popularity peak when the Chatterbox Bridge Club entertained their friends with a very pretty dance there on last Saturday evening. After dancing and various forms of entertainment long tables were spread on the porch and the guests seated and a most delicious repast served after which each couple received a very novel souvenir as a token of the club.
The club's roster is as follows: Mabel Cook, president; Mary Scott, vice president; Gertrude Harrison, secretary; Beulah Ramsay, treasurer; Agnes Williams, Lavinia Brooghton, Jessie Hall, Wilhelmina Conley, Mary Brooks, Louise Boone and Annabelle Rhoades.

(Continued from page 5) nerve to hope for even a day's vacation when along came the kindest couple that ever deserted D.C. and took up their pretty abode in nearby Maryland. They piled me into their auto and proceeded to show me (not the town my dears, but the whole United States) or at least a great big part of the half of it. Whirling about as rapidly as we might around those grand majestic mountains (when what we were really almost dying to do was to linger long among them); speeding across the plains to Alton, Illinois, to old St. Louis, to Chicago, Detroit. And of course when you are seeing the country if you miss Niagara Falls—but you don't. From the Falls we "shuffled off to Buffalo." Somewhere enroute home we picked up the Susquehanna Trail, a veritable "Honeymooners' Lane." Ours wasn't a honeymoon trip though. It was a case of "two makes bliss and the third a blister." I happened to be the "blister" but a very happy, satisfied, grateful blister. And as if Fate or something had not already been unusually kind to me, the Century of Progress officials (through the courtesy of the Washington Tribune) received me very graciously indeed and bade me "Stop, Look and Listen" to my poor old heart's content. Home again now with a firmer belief than ever that America is a m-a-r-velous country and that it gets fuller every day of Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Going about the country you happen upon the most wonderful people. There's Major John R. Lynch, for instance. One time temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention, Congressman from Mississippi, paymaster in the army during the Spanish-America War and (but don't think I'd attempt to list all the important positions held by that political Gibraltar. It would take most of my time and all of my space in this paper). Eighty-seven years old (or rather young) we find him today contented and happy in his spacious South Parkway, Chicago home. Open-mouthed and wideeyed I stared (perhaps even a bit impolitely) at Mississippi's grand old man. Nor was I alone in my reverence. Everyone about whose vast domains (guest and tenant alike) seems glad to do him honor. And think of it! He isn't a bit overbearing. Just the simplest sort of a body who walks five miles or so a day (even as you or I) and what's more who still counts that day lost whose low, descending sun views from his hand no worthy action done."
for the silver trophies was always within a few points of top honors. However, the team of Clarke and Vaughn maintained its lead throughout the season to win the coveted trophy, the team of Arthur and Brown winning second honors. The club plans a gala outing at Colton, Md, July 18, at which time the winning teams will be presented the silver trophies. The teams standings are: Clarke and Vaughn, first; Arthur and Brown, second; Baker and Olfus, third and Conway and Frye, in fourth place.

A few Timely Suggestions for The Hot Day Meal
By GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
While the mercury continues to climb high there usually is much discomfort among folks living in cities. Much of this suffering may be alleviated if a little more thought is given to our food, the kind, and ways of preparing.
By eliminating the heating foods, and a reduction of the amounts of fats and sugar one finds the first steps toward comfort.
Perhaps one of the best rules for housewives to adopt is to have well balanced meals during these sultry days.
Spend a little more for fresh vegetable, fruits, milk, cheese, Use less meats, fats, and sugars. Use ready prepared cereals in preference to those to be cooked.
While it is true that those whose labor is strenuous must have their daily quota of calories in order to carry on, it is likewise true that they may obtain all the fuel their bodies may require by eating non-heating foods.
Serve more salads at least a salad a day. Now that vegetables are plentiful and cheap this is not a hard problem. Slice tomatoes alone or with onions, cucumbers, cole slaw, lettuce, raisins enive and the like lend themselves readily to salad making.
Do YOU Cook?
There should be at least two cooked vegetables at the principal meal and the leafy varieties are best for summer. Dried vegetables prepared in many ways may be used in the place of meats.
Drinks plenty of tomato juice a good habit to cultivate—it contains minerals and vitamin C it aids also in maintaining the chemical balance in the body.
Use more milk. A quart or more a day is not too much for adults or children. Milk is rich in butter
BEAUTY HINTS

MAKING THE UPPER LIP
SHORTER
Everyone knows that a short upper lip is a thing of beauty. But alas, very few women are so born. However each day adds to the sum of beauty secrets that make many things possible for the diligent seerer after beauty. Any woman may make her upper lip appear much shorter in this way.
Just put a bit of rouge on the flute of the upper lip between the lip and nose and presto, the change is marvelous-

Newly adopted policies of the American Federation of Teachers, which recently convened in Chicago, were outlined Sunday night by Mary Mason Jones president of the Washington Elementary Teachers Union, Local 27, to that organization.
The new policies prohibit the organization of more than one local in each school district. Whether the District of Columbia will be reorganized, she stated, is subject to interpretation of the resolution by Raymond F. Lowry, of Ohio, who succeeded Henry Linville, of New York, as president. It is report! that the new administration is more interested in a "bread and butter" policy than in preservation of the organization's traditional fight for social justice.
The federation approved moral support in the Scottsboro case and pledged support to a labor parly, in opposition to both major political parties
His chest torn by the charge of a shotgun Howard Parker, 33, of Boyds, Md., was near death in the Montgomery County Hospital early this week. Parker, police say, was shot during a quarrel over liquor on the Germantown pike near Germantown late Sunday afternoon. Harry Bailev Jr., said to have fired the shot in self defense, was released by the officers.

Local Educator Addresses National Association on Economic Self-Help
ASKS NEW DEAL FOR NEGRO IN EDUCATION
Wilkinson, Bruce and Miss Martin Are Local Delegates
Pleading for a new deal in education, M. Grant Lucas, president of the Columbian Educational Association, of Washington, and principal of Wormley School, addressed the 72nd annual convention of the National Education Association at the Washington Auditorium Tuesday evening.
Prof. Lucas is the only Negro ever to have been assigned a subject on a program of the association. He spoke on "Economic Self-help in the Educational Crisis."
Wilkinson on Committee
Other colored delegates representing the District of Columbia at the conference were Garnet, C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools and a member of the local executive committee; John C. Bruce, supervising principal in divisions 10-13 and Miss Corrine E. Martin, director of penmanship, divisions 10-13.
The convention has a membership of over 200,000 and teachers and educators from all over the United States are attending the sessions.
Tech Chorus Sings
The Armstrong High School chorus furnished music at the Monday evening session at the auditorium. The chorus was under the direction of Ernest R. Amos and Mrs. Estelle P. Webster, accompanist. Miss Jessie Gray, white, of Philadelphia, is president of the convention. "That colored children should be afforded facilities for education is so obvious as to make it seem unnecessary to assert; it ought to be axiomatic" declared Prof. Lucas.
Citizenship Stressed
"The purpose of the school is to train children for good citizenship. Each state should be interested in this training regardless of race or color. It would be the height of folly for the state to assume that any part of its population can be neglected without affecting seriously the welfare of the other part.
"The economic status of the Negro is probably the lowest of any group in the population of the United States. After the Civil War he was transformed suddenly from chattel to citizen. He brought into his new sphere a strong physique and an indefinite faith in Providence. Of the material things of the world, he had none. In the power that comes from the educated mind, he was entirely lacking. For 70 years he has struggled against his own poverty, against his own ignorance, against restrictions and against prejudices.
Still at Bottom
"He is still at the bottom of the economic ladder. Yet, he has made remarkable gains. Although he is allotted the hardest tasks at the lowest wages, although he is the last to be hired and the first to be fired, yet, he is an American citizen, and is proud to be one. He has been trained so long in economic self-help that he is equipped, spiritually to meet the present crisis. Depression is his normal state. He was born in it.
"Our greatest need is the opportunity for our boys and girls who receive education to be admitted to the various occupations and industries of the present day. Too often we charge them with wilful idleness when the doors of employment are shut against them. Can they be expected to demonstrate economic self-help under these unfair proscriptions?
Calls For New Deal
"The educational crisis calls for a "New Deal." We must ally the school more closely with life, and make it a life situation. When this is done, parents will realize that their children are becoming equipped for life's needs. A young graduate will have a definite training and a definite goal. He will fit more properly into his life-work and give service with satisfaction. "Our hope is to open the closed doors of service and employment to these boys and girls. We want to make the 'New Deal' a fair and a square deal."

WOMEN VICTIMS OF LOGAN PLACE MELEE CONVICTED
Judge Schuldt Metes Out Fine Despite Testimony of Witnesses
Despite the fact that over a dozen witnesses told the court that they and not the officers were the victims of assault, Mary Galloway, 24, 90 Logan Place, Northwest, and Anna Cole, 31, 29 Logan Place, Northwest, were meted out a fine of $25 by Judge Schultz in Police Court, Monday aternoon. The two women, arrested late Sunday night near Logan Circle, were charged with assaulting Officers N. T. Inley and G. E. Cooper, white, of the Second Precinct. According to the policemen's report, they were attempting to arrest an unidentified woman when the two women attacked them, one using a piece of wood and the other throwing milk bottles.
The story told by the convicted women and corroborated by many of the witnesses revealed that the policemen were passing when a dog growled at them. Apparently incensed by the continual growling of the canine, the officers attempted to shoot the animal and the women attempted to protect it. During the melee that followed the officers allegedly beat both women. The dog, owned by Albert Taylor, 29 Logan Place, Northwest, was shot by Officer Inley. The animal was muzzled and licensed.
Mrs. Cole who sustained lacerations of the hands and bruises of the nose was treated at Sibley Hospital.
New Shoes Cause of Crap Shooter Being Caught
It cost William Frazier, 30, of 901 R Street, Northwest, $5 in Police Court Monday to find out what the well dressed crap-shooter should not wear this season. Frazier was nabbed on Seventh Street, Northwest, Sunday morning by Policeman E. G. Warren, Second Precinct, who told the Court how it happened.
"I saw four men shooting craps, and I knew that I could only get one of them. Frazier here must have been prepared for church because he was the only one wearing a coat, a bright brown one.
"I decided that he was my man and when he got the dice I rushed up. The rest got away."
"You were sort of slow, weren't you Willie?" asked Judge Ralph Given.
"You would have been slow yourself, judge, if you had been wearing new shoes like mine." Frazier replied.
"Five dollars ought to bring you to a standstill," the judge decided.

FOUR CHARGED WITH MURDER BY D.C. GRAND JURY
Champion Jailbreaker Also Named in Spring Report of Indictments
Four first-degree murder indictments were among the indictments reported by the District Grand Jury which ended its spring session Monday.
The fatal shooting of Joseph Jackson, 50, by John Spanos, white, 41-year-old lunchroom proprietor of the 700 block of F Street, Southwest, June 9, resulted in Spanos' indictment for murder, Walter Wise, William Glenn and Frank Smith were also indicted on first-degree murder charges.
Glenn is alleged to have struck Mary Butler following an altercation in the 200 block of Four-and-a-half Street, southwest, April 28. The woman died several days later, Smith was charged with shooting Raymond Harrison, 800 block of Fourth Street, northwest, on June 16, and Wise fatally shot Pierce Byrd, 900 block of French Street, Northwest.
The unwanted distinction of being the first man in the District to be indicted for escaping from jail was given to James H. Hanley, whose jailbreaking escapes several months ago drew wide attention. Hanley, who has a record of ten convictions and four escapes, broke out of jail last April by lowering himself from the jail roof by means of knotted rope, made of sheets. He was captured a few days later and escaped from the precinct station by way of a rear door. At the time he was serving a term for larceny and now faces a possible five-year addition to that sentence.

428th Infantry Goes to Fort Washington for 14 Days
Nineteen officers of the 428th Infantry, headed by Col. West A. Hamilton, regimental commander reported at Fort Washington, Md., for a fourteen-day stay of active duty beginning July 1.
Originally planned as a unit camp at which a large number of officers of all grades, would train as a unit team, paucity of appropriations has resulted in this comparatively small number. The program of training will largely consist of tactical exercises with supplemental instructions in weapons, etc.
With R. O. T. C.
In the training, cooperation will be had with the group of R.O.T.C. men there in training from Howard, and Wilberforce Universities. The regular garrison at Fort Washington—3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry is commanded by Lieut. Colonel D. A. Kunzig.

The 429 Infantry is commanded by Major Charles H. Fearing.
DAVIS SAYS NEW DEAL HAS NOT AIDED NEGROES
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. The two most elaborate and powerful pieces of New Deal machinery, the AAA and the NRA, have not improved the lot of Negro workers, and, indeed, have left some of them worse off than they were before, it was declared here Thursday night by John P. Davis, of Washington, in an address before the 25th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Davis, secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, composed of representatives of twenty-two national Negro and interracial organizations, said his committee had submitted briefs and oral arguments in behalf of the Negro workers in more than 60 NRA codes of fair competition.
He declared the AAA, created by the Roosevelt administration to ease the credit burden of the farmers and raise farm prices, had left the Negro farmers, to the mercies of "the very men who heretofore had charged them exorbitant interests, and who held the mortgage on their fertile farm lands."

Youngster Admits Demanding $20,000 from Wealthy White Woman
HARPERS FERRY, W. Va.
A 13-year-old youth, whose name is not made public because of his age, is being held in jail at Charles Town charged with attempting to extort $20,000 from Mrs. Mry Blaine Barker, white, wealthy Washington woman, who maintains a summer residence here.
The boy awaits a hearing before a magistrate and a juvenile judge. State police who arrested him say he confessed to writing Mrs. Barker a letter about a week ago demanding the money, explaining he wanted it to build a home for his mother. Mrs. Barker turned the letter over to postal authorities in Washington.
The letter, dated June 22, was signed "Lawyer Bartlett" and referred to a lot on which the Barker home stands here. The letter contends the author had title to the lot and had been advised by "the law" that he should either have the house which stands on it or the $20,000, and he preferred the latter. The letter directed Mrs. Barker to turn the money over to the boy whom police charge with the authority. The boy told police, they said, he was alone in the extortion plot and that he found the idea from the movies and movies magazines and wanted to buy a home for his mother.
Police said they also understood the boy recently wrote a letter to President Roosevelt requesting him to give or lose him a large sum of money with which to build a home for the mother.
The letter to the woman was typewritten. Police say the boy appears bright for his age. Because of his youth police asked Jefferson County authorities to handle the case, it was stated. When arraigned in Charles Town the boy confessed to the extortion attempt and was ordered placed under parole until he is 21. He gave the same explanation in court as he did to officers as to why he wrote the note.

The irate crowd that gathered proceeded to manhandle the fugitive, punctured the tires on his car, drained out the gasoline and set the car on five. Acting Lieutenant Samuel J. Battle appeared on the scene, grabbed the frightened man and protected him from the furious crowd, so it was reported.
