All Classes to be Conducted in Buildings in Which They Now Meet, Says Lewis The adult education classes and nursery schools financed by the District Emergency Relief Administration will continue when the public schools open here next Monday, school officials announced this week. On Monday, September 17, an evening time schedule for the adult classes will go into effect. All classes will be conducted from 4 to 10 p.m. in the school buildings in which they now meet. These hours will apply also to persons who find it inconvenient to attend classes and are given individual instruction at home or adjustment to make them more employable; in vocational rehabilitation for the physical handicapped in order that they might be made employable on a self-supporting or self-help basis; and classes in general adult education for the unemployed and other persons who desire additional training. Schools Listed Adults may enroll in any of these classes at any time from 4 to 10 p.m. at the school buildings in which they are conducted. An adult is considered anyone beyond the compulsory school attendance age. Nearly 600 colored students were enrolled in adult classes at the beginning of this summer, according to the director, Clarence O. Lewis. The classes are conducted by well qualified teachers who wee appointed by the District Emergency Relief Division. Twenty-three teachers are now engaged in this work, and more will be appointed if funds are available. A special drive will be made by school officials, relief workers and adult education teachers to increase the present enrollment to a much larger figure. With additional funds and a larger staff of teachers, Mr. Lewis hopes to carry out a more extensive program for adult education during the fall and winter. Work Successful Your work has been very successful with most of our students," he said. "This is especially so in regards to the classes for literates. They are not only taught how to read and write but are also givenample opportunity to develop their capacity for self-expression through participation in class room discussions." Other classes are conducted in vocational training for unemployed people who need further training. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. HARGED VOL.

Nurseries to Continue The nursery schools will continue on a regular day schedule. They will care for the children of mothers on relief while they are at work, and for the children of other mothers on relief who otherwise need aid in giving their children proper care. Held for investigation, Leonard Brown, 18, of 300 block of H Street, Southwest; William Wallace, 29, of the 300 block of G Street, Southwest, and Raymond Swington, 29, of the 300 block of Third Street, Southwest, were arrested at the Fourth Precinct, this week, as suspects in a series of robberies which have harassed merchants of that section. A fourth man, said by police to be a member of the same gang, is being sought. Nurseries to Continue Held As Robbery Suspects Washington Tribune NEGROES DRIVEN FROM PRINCESS ANNE BOY, AGED 6 KILLED BY AUTO Roy Thompson Crushed to Death Under Machine; Driver Cleared Horace W. Griffin, 30, a taxi-cab driver living at 1825 Vernon Street, Northwest, was exonerated by a coroner's jury probing into the death of 6-year-old Roy Thompson, 1233 S Street, Northwest, at an inquest held at the District Morgue, Tuesday. Young Thompson was struck and knocked down while playing with a group of children near his home, Sunday night. Testimony at the morgue revealed that Griffin was unable to apply his brakes in time to prevent crushing the lad under the front wheels of the automobile. Trumble Bureau reports described the brakes of the machine in perfect working order. The child, according to witnesses, was at play in front of 1216 S Street, Northwest, when he suddenly ran into the street toward the opposite curbing. The left front of the west-bound automobile struck him as he neared the north side of the street. William G. Hurley, 1215 S Street, Northwest, was sitting on a bench in the yard of that address when the accident occurred. He rushed into the street, pulled the lad from beneath the car and got into the taxi cab with Griffin. The two then carried young Thompson to Freedman's Hospital where he was pronounced dead by Dr. Melvin Mason shortly after arrival. GOV. RITCHIE TO SEE ELKS' PARADE AND FIELD DAY Lodges and Temples From Maryland and District to Vie for Honors ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The lodges and temples of Southern Maryland will gather here on Saturday for a joint field day and parade to be followed by a state ball in the City Armory in the evening.

Sheffield, who died August 5, leaving an estate valued at close to $30,000. Leon Sheffield, giving his address as the Army War College, entered the courts with a petition claiming that he was a son of the deceased by a former marriage. Through Attorneys Lewis, Beaubian and Lawson, Sheffield asks that he be named as a rightful beneficiary in the administration of the estate, the custody of which was placed in the hands of Mrs. Sheffield 9 days after the death of her husband. In the bill, the new claimant asserts that Mrs. Sheffield and her attorneys willfully neglected to name him as one of the decedent's next of kin despite the fact that she knew of his existence and his presence in the city. Counters with "Lie" Charge Attorney William L. Houston, who represented Mrs. Sheffield in the filing of the petition for the letters of administration and succeeded in obtaining for her the right to administer the disposition of the estate, flung counter charges of would-be fraudulence immediately upon being advised of the action of Sheffield. Mr. Houston declared that he believed Sheffield's claim to be based on a deliberate falsification of facts. "If this man is a son, Mr. Houston asserted, it is not likely that he is legitimately entitled to a claim in the inheritance as Mr. Sheffield was not married prior to his wedding the present Mrs. Sheffield. Can Prove Illegitimacy "We have definite proof that Mr. Sheffield had no other immediate relatives. We have communicated with a brother in Texas, from where Mr. Sheffield originally came, and with a nephew in the city. Both of these persons have informed us that Mr. Sheffield was never married before. "If these statements are true," Mr. Houston continued, "then it must follow that any 'child' must be illegitimate." The Tribune was unable to confirm this upon communication with the nephew, Simeon W. Lofton, at 1409 H Street, Northeast, one of the two barber shops listed in the belongings of Mr. Sheffield. Mr. Lofton declared that he knew Leon Sheffield and had known him for approximately 3 years, but that he could not say if he was a son of the deceased or not. He also refused to confirm or deny the report that there was a former marriage.

HIGH ICE CREAM COMPANY LAWYER IS ASSAILED Charge of Unfairness Hurled at White Counsel by Alliance Attorney Further unfairness was charged by Attorney Belford V. Lawson, representing the New Negro Alliance, at the hearing on the injunction sought by the L. W. High Ice Cream Company against picketing by the Alliance, before Justice F. Dickinson Letts in the District Supreme Court, Wednesday. Attorney Lawson leveled accusations claiming Attorney Philip Rosenfeld, white, deliberately ignored ethical practices in the resumption of the case. Mr. Rosenfeld was assailed in open court when he offered readings and citations to the court without providing a copy for the opposing counsel. This, though not compulsory, is a customary procedure, Mr. Lawson stated. Brief but heated remarks followed the presentation of the bulk of papers in which Mr. Rosenfeld cited parallel cases supporting his claim to the right of a restraining order prohibiting further picketing of the ice cream store at 3128 Eleventh Street, Northwest, by members of the alliance, Mr. Lawson challenged him for the lack of courtesy shown by his failure to provide a copy for the purpose of answering. Denies Unethical Claim When interviewed by a Tribune reporter Rosenfeld declared that what he did was not unethical. His action was simply a different course (Continued on page 2) TRIBUNE'S BIG DOUBLE CONTEST GETS UNDER WAY Separate Prizes for News boys and Adults; S.E.

The contestants simply secure the (Continued) 11 Horror of Slaying Lost to Son of Victim; Killer "Just Mad" Sounding much like a page lifted from a dime detective novel, the tale of a gruesome axe-killing was added to the District's growing list of homicides early this week. A man was charged with splitting the head of his cousin, by marriage, Sunday, because he was "just mad." Theodore R. Brown, 24, 624 Second Street, Southwest; was the slayer, George Johnson, 37, 368 H Street, Southwest, was the slain. And as if to add to the horror of the narrative, fate made the victim's 7-year-old son, William, the only eye-witness to the tragedy. Even hardened homicide squad detectives like Sergeant Walter S. Beck, whose connections with killings in and around the District run high into the hundreds, showed signs of repulsion as the lad, sitting astride the lap of his sobbing mother, told a coroner's jury, Wednesday, of the manner in which "Roosevelt (meaning Brown) killed Daddy." "Daddy," said the child, 'had been asleep in the twining 'm Martha waked him 'ntold him to come in the house He came in the door woping his eyes with both hands. Roosevelt was standing inside the door 'n and when Daddy came in he struck him with the axe, Daddy fell down and Roosevelt struck him again." Had Robbed Victim According to the statement of Brown, he and his sister, Martha, had "rolled" Johnson, Saturday night, lifting $2 from his pockets as he lay asleep in the house at 624 Second Street. An argument followed the discovery of his loss by Johnson, and during the morning the pair had returned the money to Johnson. In the verbal dispute earlier in the day both men had exhibited knives and threatened bodily harm to one another. Witnesses testified that Johnson had tried to cut Brown during the morning argument. After the head-splitting act, Brown gave himself to Fourth Precinct officers. Johnson was rushed to Emergency Hospital where Dr. Thomas Upton pronounced him dead on arrival. 31,000 EXPECTED TO ENTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS MONDAY Thirty-one thousand children are expected to enter the public schools of the District, Monday, according to Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. The largest enrollment in history is contemplated, officials state. The Board of Admissions for the junior and senior high schools will meet Thursday and Friday at the Dumbar High School to consider applications. All children on public school rolls at the close of last year who wish to enter the grade schools or kindergartens are directed to apply for admission tickets at the schools nearest their homes. For this purpose, principals will be at the schools, Friday and Saturday from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. Parents are cautioned that vaccination certificates are to be presented before the children enroll. Much Ballyhooed Mass Weddings By Two Ministers Turn to Fizzle 10,000 Disappointed at Ball Park When Elder Michaux Fails to Marry 100; Graft Hinted When 7 Sisters and 7 Brothers Ignore Cupid in the Rev. Drew WOMEN AND CHILDREN TERRORIZED Police Force Stand by Claiming Members Are "Powerless" PRINCESS ANNE, Md.—Hardly a single colored person was left in this little Eastern shore town, scene not long ago of the lynching of George Armwood, after a race riot broke out here late Saturday night. Efforts on the part of the white populance to drive out every Negro in the city appeared successful as the smoke of battle cleared Sunday morning. The ramshackle colored section was a deserted village, its streets cleared of pedestrians and traffic and its business houses closed. The trouble started about 11:30 Saturday night, when a Negro cursed a white man and the two became involved in a street brawl. By midnight the entire town was aflame with mob violence, and a full-fledged riot between 200 whites and 500 blacks was in progress. The white man, whose name was carefully guarded by police officials, beat the colored man badly in the opening skirmish of the affair. This attended to, he began to gathering his friends into a mob which grew rapidly as it marched nosily toward the Negro section. Mob on Rampage There they forced their way into a colored restaurant, where they found the already badly beaten colored man. Dragging him out into the street, they beat him again until he lapsed into unconsciousness.

Mrs. Mary McNeill, the fifth member, reported that she would be unable to attend due to illness. Four members of the board are out of the city. The meeting will be held next Wednesday. Much Ballyhooed By Two Minister 10,000 Disappointed at Bally Fails to Marry 100; Graff and 7 Brothers Ignore Ten thousand persons who expected to see a mass wedding at Griffith Stadium, last Sunday night showed their disappointment when Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, radio evangelist, announced to the gathering that after his "hot sermon" on common-law marriages it was doubtful if a legal ceremony would be advisable and stated that he would marry up to 100 couples free if they would apply at his home. Right after the announcement, the crowd left the park. The mass wedding of 100 couples was widely advertised and the elder stated that he would marry all who applied at the park. The only requirement was a marriage license. Flays Common-Law The crowd, about equally divided between colored and white, came to witness the unusual ceremony and when it failed to materialize thousands left muttering their discontent. However, the crowd was compensated to some extent by the singing of the choir of 156 voices, to the accompaniment of an orchestra and a "not sermon" by the elder who flayed common-law marriage. The radio preacher also urged the raising of children by married couples, although he has none of hi Examination and Tests for Freshmen to Start September 20 Howard University begins its sixty-sixth year of work September 25.

That is—if you follow his adye ce. Rev. Drew Dissip points Another packed house was disappointed Sunday night when the widely ballyhooed wedding of seven sisters by the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church went into a fizzle. Movie cameramen and photographers were stationed at the church to record the unusual event. The seven Cobb brothers and seven Riley sisters failed to show up. Finally one couple appeared—Leroy Cobb and Beulah Riley—and were married. The Rev. Mr. Drew explained that the other couples heard that he was was getting a large sum from the movie men and wanted their "cut in." Dr. Drew denied that he planned to cash in on the ceremony, but stories to the contrary flew thick and fast among the crowd. Another event on the program miscarried as Dr. Drew announced that he would debate the Rev. Albert Teester, North Carolina snake-bite pastor. The Rev.

(By Roscoe Dunjee for ANP)—Striking @ responsive chord in the conven- tion ranks, Dr. Lacy K. Williams, Chicago, Pelee of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., slashed into the New Deal program of President Roosevelt here Wednes- day afternoon in his annual ad- dress, ‘The government’s program was characterized as a “costly venture” and the speaker added, “Unless it succeeds, I fear we shall have a darker and a more distressful per- ‘od than we have now., Not New Nor Square “Tt will take an adept mathema- tician ar some highly skilled econ- omist to discover how a nation ean pay itself out of debt through the borrowing act,” said the distin- guished Chicagoan. “With re- spect to the New Deal and its ef- fects upon the Negro, there is not a question: It certainly has not given him the relief that it gives others— nor that which he desired or sought. For him (the Negro) it is neither ‘& new nor a square deal, a thing he desires most. In many cases it has actually hindered the race.” Enforced Idleness 4 Out of the nation’s 16,000,000 un- employed, Dr, Williams stated that 5,000,000 were Negroes, and he pointed out that while the Negro represented one-tenth of the Hop dation, one-third of this number is on the relief rolls, He said that this was a tae, and en- forced idlenes” for which the Ne- gro. needs ‘no condemnation. He Prefented records to show that the legro was barred from labor un- ions which placed him in the ranks -£ @ stab, and the codes had barred him from other positions. Seven Points Seven points were stressed in Dr, Williams’ program, viz: A warless world; a living wage for family heads; Greater distri- bution of economic profits to lab- or; The right of labor to organize freely and without race, class or color restrictions; Unemployment. insurance; old age ‘pensions; abol- ishment of child labor. Wants Groups to Unite Indicating that the Boyd and Morris “wings” may eventually unite, Dr. Williams made the fol- lowing statement: “This year the brethren who left ‘us in 1916 are meeting in this state in Muskogee. They are our friends and'brethren. All of us profess to be Christians and if-we are, we shall not court ungodly divisions. Tet us send greetings to the breth- ren at Muskogee, and also ask them if they would resporid to ef- for‘ts that would bring absut the reunion of our beloved forces. May ‘we go on record as favoring such ® course, and direct the secretary of this convention to so inform our brethren in session in Muskogee?” Liberia Striking at the threatened re- moval of Liberia's self-determina- tion by the League of Nations, Dr. Williams said: “Liberia, the little Negro repub- Nic is facing a future fraught with direful consequences. The League of Nations had made demands for certain nations would want Liberia expelled from the League; others would take advantage of this little republic during its needy hour; and would like to have jf mandated: There are some sentimental rea- sons why America should take the lead in helping Liberia and _ its struggling people to meet its obli- gations.

Making a plea for the betterment of these sur- prising conditions, the reverend urged that the ministry lend great- er assistance to relief agencies and urge support of business. enter- prises operated by color je. Tn_another discussion on *How Can We Reduce in a Practical Way the Number of Our Schools?” the Rev, C. 8, Butcher, secretary of the conference, stated that to answer the question the chuteh should first consider the reason for the estab- lishment of so many schools. He gave as the reason the fact that with the liberating of the slaves, the need for the schools was very prevalent. Now, since other organizations, both governmental and private, haye established schools in competition with theirs, the church needs to cut down its number of small schools and con- centrate on the larger schools. “It seems ‘impractical that our church should continue to carry in- stutitions that were established to meet needs which do not now exist. Our church supports eighteen schools and very few of our mem- bers can name them all, while the Federal Government supports one, and that one is internationally known 2? he wtated ’ Deacon Board Conducts Christian Endeavor Rites The Third Baptist Chusch week- ly Christian Endeavor Service was conducted by the Deacon Board of the chureh Sunday with an old fashioned gospel hymnal service by the C.

Thesible turnout of 10,000. The score was 2-1. In a diamond encounter replete with sparkling fielding plays and masterful hurling, which can be fittingly termed the best game of the season, the Winston-Salem Black Sox of North Carolina nosed out the local Hillsdale Athletic Club Sunday before 3,000 fans at Griffith Stadium, gaining the edge in the three-game series of the year and taking the financial spoils of the day. Threatening weather prevented a possible turnout of 10,000. From the outset the game tools on the aspect of a southpaw hurling duel, and unfortunate as it now is, it was Jimmy Price, the unorthodox mound ace of the 'Dales who might have turned the tide of events. It was in the third inning of the contest that Price, with three runners on the bases, tossed the pellet to first to halt the advance of Green while Daniels, who singled to gain his privilege to nomp the patis, crossed with the initial tally of the game. This run later proved the margin of victory. Had Price thrown homeward and prevented the run, it is no telling how long the inter-city rivals may have battled at a deadlock in the old barnyard. In fact, in the gathering gloom of the day, it did appear that the 'Dales would even matters up and keep the enthusiastic assemblage on hand until Elder Michaux and his white-robed converts invaded the lot for nocturnal service but Scott, the visiting moundman, took the situation in hand and stopped their eighth-inning rally at an abbreviated stage. Held well in check by the left-handed Scott, who gave up but five safeties during the nine-inning route and whiffed exactly nine of the 'Dalesmen, the locals launched a determined bid for the "winner-take-all" prize in this frame. Manager Sam Lacy began pulling stragetectal wires at the opening of the session. Jones, pinchbaiting for Bartoe Black, plastered a hot grounder in the general direction of thirdbase and was safe when Lindsey fumbled Lackey's throw. Soup Turner came in to hit for Price and promptly singled to right sending Jones on a dash to the far corner where he slid into the bag and sprained his ankle necessitating his removal from the fracas. Lacy went in to run for him. With the situation thus, two men on the paths and nobody down, the hopes of the most pessimistic 'Dale backers soared. However, only one run crossed the pan as Scott tightened with all his curves and shoots forcing Fantroy out, Scott to Lindsey. Runt White singled to right scoring Lacy but Temple fled to Green at second and Toots Brown gracefully waved his big hat at a third strike. The 'Dales died in one-two-three order in their hopeful ninth half. The Carolinans scored their two runs in the third and fourth. In the former frame Daniels dropped a sizzler between third and short, Murray snacked a single to center and Lacky was safe when White, 'Dale second baseman, fielded his grounder perfectly but in an attempt to get a double play tagged at the fleeting Murray and missed him, leaving the paths loaded.

Scott, the hurler, sent him home with a grounder past first base that Willie Hope couldn't reach. Johnson at third stopped two hot linners that had hit labeled all over them and went into the stands to make a bare hand stop of Lacky's foul in the eighth.

VER STAGED SOUTH REAL ACTION CROSS NAMO OF PHILA. CROSS-NORFOLK GO TOMORROW HOLDS D.C. INTEREST Washingtonians Ready for Promised Action Carded by Lincoln A. C. With Tommie (Rooster) Cross and Kid Norfolk, colored light-weight champion of the south, listed as the headliners the Lincoln Athletic Club's latest fight show plans went into the final stages early this week. A card of 34 rounds of boxing will be put on by the promoters of the Chocolate-Sarilla bout, tomorrow (Friday) night at Griffith Stadium. Cross, the sensational young slugger from Philadelphia, will meet up with the toughest of his opponents to date when he steps into the same ring with Norfolk. The latter, a sturdy youngster from Baltimore, has established himself as king of the little fellows south of the metropolis. Would "Eat Gloves" Quoted as offering to "eat his gloves before the audience if he failed to down Norfolk before the fifth round." Cross had put himself "on the spot." Washingtonians are hard-boiled eggs when the matter of receiving over-cnident athletes is involved. Norfolk, too, is likely to take rather unkindly to the boast of his intended adversary. Both boys have been training for sometime, the Philadelphia at a spot midway between the city of brotherly love, and the Baltimore-an just outside of and slightly south of Wilmington. Young Canada Lee, stablemate of Kid Chocolate, and Young Peter Jackson, of Baltimore, have been signed for the semi-windup. The remaining bouts will bring together Kid Buffalo, Chester, and the Virginia Wildcat, Richmond; Charlie Wells, Washington, and Ace Thompson, Baltimore; and Kid Hall and Kid Chris both of this city. SHADY OAK WHITE TEAM TO ENGAGE LeDROIT TIGERS Crack Maryland Club Guest at 26th and Bennings Road Sunday The Shady Oak Athletics, crack white team from Shady Oak, Md., will be guests of the LeDroit Tigers on the grounds at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday, it was announced by Business Manager Andrew Allen, of the Jungaleers, early this week. The Tigers, fresh from their victory over the strong Isherwoods, another white team, are looking forward to even more than was given them in winning their 7-6 verdict over that team Sunday a week ago. The Shady Oaks are highly respected around the diamonds of northern Maryland from which section they hail. Included in the visiting line-up are Joe Batemen, hard-hitting sensational firstbaseman, and the Donaldson brothers, who hold down the shortstop and thirdbase posts in spectacular style.

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 15. 1934 Play Begins Saturday in City Titular Series Georgetown vs. Anacostia; Hillsdales vs. LeDroit Tigers in Opening Double Bill at Griffith Stadium; Former to Settle Dispute Participants Represent Cream of Local Baseball Outfits; Play Starts at 2 P.M. Followers of sandlot and semi-professional baseball in the nation's capital are all agog over the double attraction listed for Griffith Stadium Saturday afternoon, when championship play among the four leading colored teams of the District begins. The Georgetown Athletics, defending champions, the Hillsdale A.C., seIf-styIed claimants of the title, the Anacostia Athletics and the LeDroit Tigers, outstanling among the remaining contenders for the honor, are the principal in the 4-team double header. Chicago Giants Trim Black Yanks; Crawfords, Stars in Tie Charity Twin Bill Draws 30,000 People to Yankee Stadium; Paige and Jones in Pitching Duel in Second Encounter; Former Stars Yankee Stadium, NEW YORK—In a blazing finish, in which he lived up to his reputation as one of the greatest colored pitches of all time, Satchell Paige, truck out two pitch batters with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to gain for his team, the Pittsburgh Crawford, a 1-1 tie with the Philadelphia Stars. It was the closing drama of a doubleheader for charity staged by four of the best teams in the country here last Sunday. The Chicago American Giants had previously topped the New York Black Yankee, 4-3. Douglas O. Smith, proprietor of the Harlem Billiard Parlors, one of the many hangouts for local baseball and football enthusiasts, is promoting the affair. He has carded the Anacostians and the Georgetowners to meet in the matinee game, beginning promptly at 2 o'clock. The LeDroit Tigers and Hillsdales will hook up in the nightcap, slated to begin immediately at the end of the initial frolic. Two Thrillers Both games should be thrillers. Georgetown and Anacostia, beside being ancient rivals at both baseball and football, have an old score to settle by reason of the disputed second game of their double-header at Norbeck, Md., several weeks ago. On that occasion Anacostia, after having taken the opening tilt from the west-enders, snatched a last minute lead in the nightcap, only to have Georgetown quit the game. Whether this retirement from play was Chicago Giants The Crawfords, Charity Twin Bill Draws to Stadium; Paige and Jo Second Encounter Yankee Stadium, NEW YORK lived up to his reputation as one of time, Satchell Paige, truck out two in the ninth inning to gain for his tie with the Philadelphia Stars. It header for charity staged by four last Sunday. The Chicago America New York Black Yankee, 4-3. Paige was slow warming up, and for a time it appeared as if he was going to play second fiddle to Country Jones, a 20-year-old youngster just out of knee breeches and high school. Given a L-run advantage in the first, when Stevens scored, assisted by Creacy's single and Wilson's sacrifice, Jones retired the Crawfords in order until the seventh when he yielded his first hit, a single to center by Oscar Charleston. Craws Tie Score The Craws moved into a tie in the eighth when Judy Johnson singled to right and continued to second when Dunn momentarily muffed the ball. Williams sacrificed and Morney singled to center. It was in this fashion that 2 of the 3 hits given up by Jones fell in the same inning and robbed him of the decision. Masterful pitching by Paige then followed to protect this break. Jud Wilson followed White's out to start the ninth inning by singing sharply to left. Bizz Mackey promptly sent a scorer at Johnson which the former Darby Daisy couldn't hold long enough to make a play Fans Last Two Casey was sent up to bat for Dunn and was purposefully passed filling the bases. With one out and the sacks jammed Paige breezed a third strike past Webster McDonald, batting for Pete Washington, and then in the gathering dusk sent Don Brooks, appearing at the tee for Dick Seay, back to the bench after whiffing at 3 sizzling fast balls. Paige's ninth-inning achievement was the second of the afternoon, for Ted Trent's display of pitching Hillsdales May Get Former Winston-Salem Star Buster Lackey, former catcher and infielder of the Winston-Salem Sox, has been signed by the Washington Hillsdales pending his acceptance into the club through the regular channels. Lackey will be introduced at the regular weekly meeting of the Dales, Friday night, at which time his acceptance or rejection as a member and candidate for the team will be passed on. voluntary or at the direction of the umpire is controversial. Manager "Doc" Greene, of the Southeast outfit, claims the game was not officially called. Manager Ralph Dorsey, of the 1933 champs insists that it was. 'Dale-LeDroit Feud The Hillsdales and LeDroits, long friendly enemies by reason of the fact that both teams were originated in the same section, LeDroit Park, will resume their age-old feud for the benefit of the series. Earlier in the season the 'Dales captured a twin bill from the Jungaleers, but since that time the latter team has undergone numerous changes and has shown decided improvement. The Tigers boast of victories over Georgetown and the Oriental Tigers, the latter conquerors of the Hillsdales, and of an even break with the Washington Pirates, another of the local teams which have defeated the Georgies during the current campaign. The winners of these two games will meet in a double-header at the Stadium next Saturday. rim Black Yanks; Stars in Tie 30,000 People to Yankee Jones in Pitching Duel in er; Former Stars —In a blazing finish, in which he of the greatest colored pitchers of all pinch batters with the bases loaded team, the Pittsburgh Crawford, a 1-1 was the closing drama of a double- f the best teams in the country here an Giants had previously topped the prowess in the last frame of the first contest was no less brilliant. **Giants Take Lead** The Giants took the field in the last half of the inning two runs in the lead. Turkey Stearns had given them a start with a homer in the third, scoring Trent ahead of him. In the fourth Sutter had singled and scored on a wild pitch and Wells had singled and scored on Joe Lillard's double. The Yankees scored two runs in the eighth and another in the ninth when Clint Thomas sent a home run into the left field boxes. Fats Jenkins then singled to left, went to second on Cannady's sacrifice and took third as Dave Thomas grounded out. Trent purposely walked the dangerous Scales and calmly sent three strikes over the plate to retire Yancey. A crowd of 30,000 watched the twin-bill. CHI. AM. GNTS.

DENIES TRAINING TABLE RUMOR FOR HOWARD GRIDDERS Athletic Council Chairman Issues Statement Belying Predictions Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, has officially authorized the following statement: "Numerous inquiries received by the Board of Athletic Control seem to indicate the existence of the erroneous impression that Howard University will establish a free training table for football players during the coming year. In order to correct this impression and to prevent further misunderstanding, it seems necessary to make the following statement: "1. The athletic policy of Howard University with respect to free Training Table remains unchanged. The University does not grant athletic scholarships, nor does any student enjoy special privilege of any kind by reason of his participation in competitive athletics." The announcement by Professor Coleman is in direct opposition to recent reports that candidates for the Blue and White football team would be provided with a free training table at the expense of alumni interests.

LINCOLN COACHES BEGIN DRILLS Rivero and Jones Start Lions on 1934 Grid Program; 35 Men Report LINCOLN, Pa. — Immediately upon return from Hampton Institute, where they attended the conference of coaches and officials of the C.I.A.A., Coaches Rivero and Jones began work on the routine matter of drilling the squad available at Lincoln in the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. Humid weather made the morning and evening shrd shrd hrdlung and afternoon drill periods taxing for all those reporting. A squad of about thirty-five men was on hand Monday morning, most of which were new prospects. All candidates entered into the practice with unusual enthusiasm, following the afternoon practice the coaches expressed themselves as well pleased with the attitude and condition of the men. Joe Cronin Says "The game between the Hills-dales and the Winston-Salem Black Sox Sunday was easily the best game put up between two colored teams that I have had the pleasure to watch. From beginning to end it was anybody's battle and I know of no better way I could have spent my forced absence from the Senators' line-up." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL City Prime for Big Stake Game Between Nashville-Crawfords Final Clash of Series for $1,000 Forfeiture Expected to Attract Throngs to Stadium Sunday; Interest Surrounds Annual Play The 19th HOLE By The stage is all set for the final gong in the annual series between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Nashville Elite Giants, according to reports emanating from the headquarters of Doug Smith, lieutenant for Gus Greenlee, big time promoter, early this week. The two teams clash in the last of a series for a stake of $1,000 posted each year by owners of the two Pete Nickens, "Dodo" Johnson, and Lee Honesty, with several others, journeyed over to Baltimore during the past week and literally swamped the home boys in a series of informal matches. It is very commendable how the boys here, take care of themselves in play at the various courses away from home. Most of the lads who have played the Carroll Park course seem well pleased in having the opportunity of playing somewhere other than the Lincoln Memorial links. Although the greens are of sand, the course is much longer and boasts a par of thirty-four Through the gracious efforts of Roland McKenzie, white pro at the Congressional Club, four of our best golfers were matched in a very interesting match last Monday, the participates being Harry Jackson and Billy Adams, pitted against Clyde Martin and Rudolph Eiseman. Jackson is well known to local golf fans, while the other three lads have just broken into print but are very much seasoned as far as golf is concerned. There was a gallery of a little less than 300 spectators and they were amply awarded for making the trip to watch the play. Most of the boys that caddy at this course were laying with the favorites. Martin and Eisenman while the visiting caddies were much elated over the chances of Adams and Jackson, to come through. All four started the first hole play a little ragged, but settled down after the fourth hole and began to shoot par galf. There was little to doubt that Jackson would have to hold up his side until Adams could "get going." This Harry did nobly, figuring in no less than thirteen holes. But Adams came in on the second nine to hold the home team. Adams and Jackson were one up at 18th tee this hole being a par four about 256 yards. All were nicely up the fairway but Martin and Adams, on a dryer day, would have been on. At that they were only a few yards short of the edge of the green. There was another valiant attempt for birdies but the ball wouldn't drop for Eisman, thus ending the match 1 down in favor of Billy Adams and Harry Jackson. The boys will try to get a return match to be played on the Columbia Country Club course. OUT: Adams ..... 6-5-4-5-7-5-5-6-x=43 Jackson ..... 5-4-5-4-5-5-5-4=42 Eisman ..... 7-6-4-4-6-4-5-5-4=45 Martin ..... 8-6-4-4-5-5-5-4=34 Adams ..... 5-5-4-5-3-x-4-4-4=34 Jackson ..... 5-4-5-4-5-4-5-4=40 Eisman ..... 5-4-4-5-6-5-5-4=42 Martin ..... 5-4-6-3-5-4-4-4=38 Peacock Wins Pentathlon by 200-Point Margin New York, (ANP) — Eulace Peacock, youthful Temple University athlete, won the national A.

Big Stake Game Crawfords 1,000 Forfeiture Expected to to Stadium Sunday; lands Annual Play The stage is all set for the final gong in the annual series between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Nashville Elite Giants, according to reports emanating from the headquarters of Doug Smith, lieutenant for Gus Greenlee, big time promoter, early this week. The two teams clash in the last of a series for a stake of $1,000 posted each year by owners of the two outfits. This year's trio of games has proved unusually attractive by reason of the fact that in addition to resting tied at 1-game apiece in the present series, the Crawfords and Nashville have fought pretty much on even terms throughout their hostilities in the National Negro Association. Nashville Sought Opposition Tom Wilson, owner of the Tennessee aggregation, announced an early desire to leave the Southern League which had come to hold little novice for him due to the fact that his club literally romped through all the opposition that circuit had to offer. His affiliation with the national association followed. The stronger competition necessitated much rebuilding. Such action has netted him one of the strongest outfits doing professional business among colored diamond performers. The Crawfords, needless to say, stand out as the greatest drawing-card among the nation's sepia baseball teams. Headed by the imitable Oscar Charleston and augmented by such performers as Judy Johnson, Cool Paul Bell, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Ted Trent and a host of others the Pennsylvanians come ready to do battle to the finish. Washington was selected as the scene for the final cutest of meaning when owners were compelled to get together with Mr. Greenlee on the matter of location for this deciding clash. Nashville beat the Crawfords in Nashville. The Crawfords beat Nashville in Pittsburgh. Neither would consent to the play-off game on the other's grounds. So be it. 362nd Company Wins CCC Boxing Championships FORT MONROE, Va. — The 362nd Company, civilian conservation corps, won its final boxing matches of the season when it gained victories on the program, here last Thursday night.

His jovial manner, his willingness to answer any questions, thorough knowledge of the time, won for him many new ends in the Negro athletic Negro Tutors But it took even more experienced coaches to make the Coach's School the success that it was. Johnny Burr, coach of the championship Howard wonder five, and Idie Hurt, with a string of wins in three different sports, taught offensive and defensive baseball with equally as much enthusiasm, interest, and clearness as I Kerr in the football classes. The roundtable discussions onack was led by H. B. Hucles of nion, whose team ran away with the Hampton open meet and e Howard championships last spring. Persons attending the school highly endorsed the idea. Said Mr. James C. Williams, president of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, "I consider this the golden opportunity for men interested in the best development of Negro youth. The philosophy as brought out by men who have dealt for many years with young men, in addition to the rudimentary work of the various sports will help make the conference a desirable one."

A large crowd was on hand to witness the proceedings, a great deal of interest being manifest in the clash by reason of the age-old rivalry existing between the two Jungle Cat outfits. Lefty George Smith and Jack Craig toed the slab for the Baylormen, thus forcing Blackfoot Scriver's batters to face southpaw pitching throughout the afternoon. Smith fared the better of the two. He gave up 5 hits while being touched for an equal number of runs. Bus Holmes, his mound opponent, was hit freely. The Southeasterners fell one run short of tying the score in the nightcap when a sustained hitting attack pushed over 5 runs to close a 6-0 gap established by the LeDroiters in the opening innings. Craig, Tiger fast ball ace, was the victim of the visiting offensive. He, however, weathered the storm.

Midnite Show Saturday with Reserved Seats PORTERS TO FORM NEW UNION CHICAGO. (ANP)—Announcement was made here this week of the launching of a new organization among Pullman Porters. It is known as the Pullman Porters and Maids Protective Association and has been formed by a number of the most prominent men in the Pullman service. Already according to its officials, a large membership has been recruited. J. S. Morris is president of the organization which has headquarters at 4321 Forestville Avenue here. W. H. Thomas is secretary. Both are veteran Pullman porters and assert that the formation of their organization comes as a result of the intention of the porters to have an organization of their own, free from interference by what Mr. Thomas termed "outsiders." "For many years" said President Morris, "Pullman porters and maids were represented under the Plan of Employee Representation. We found this a good form of representation, bringing about friendly relations between the company and its employees. Under this plan we belonged to what was known as a "company union." Under it and it alone the chief benefits which have been granted to porters both in wage increases and betterment of working conditions have been won. We had a grievance board and a board of appeal upon which officials served with porters and beyond and question we secured results for our members and, the maids."

Will we be successful? Answer: It would be foolish for you to try to buy a home at this time. It takes a lot of money to keep up a home and it would be impossible for you to pay for it without a steady income. I suggest that you wait until you get a job. G. D.—Which of the two things that I have in mind will be the most beneficial to me as my life's work? Ans.: Although you are very fond of singing, I don't believe you will ever benefit much from it financially. I believe the wisest choice for you would be a BEAUTY COURSE. I see you working successfully in a beauty parlor of your own. C. M.—If I continue living as I am, what will be the outcome? Ans.: Just a lot of disappointment for you. The man you are living with hasn't any idea of marrying you and the sooner you leave him the better off you will be. I advise you to return to your home town and resume your old job. R. F. L.—I want to know if my boy friends will come back and will he be the same? Ans.: He will come back, but he won't be the same. It seems that he is planning on making a visit to your ci' the later part of this year, but it will be on BUSINESS. He is very much in love with a girl back in Tennessee, where he has been working—he hasn't any desire to begin all over with you. R. E.—Will you please tell me who has been stealing my things? Ans. The boy you have in mind is the guilty party. He took your black and white shoes out of your closet about a month ago while you were on your vacation. I am sorry to say, but you won't see them back—they are practically worn out. extended, who visited her mother, in Orange, Va., has returned home.

TAR YOU PLACE American Stage P. W.—Do you see a marriage for me any time soon? Ans.: I see, a marriage for you but not for several years. It seems that there will be a reconciliation between you and the man you are so much in love with—you will be engaged to him before another year has passed. W. S. D.—Do you see any success for me in what I am planning to do? Ans.: Yes. I believe you are doing a wise thing in planning to move to the country. You can make a success in farming if you will just stick to it. O. B.—Will I ever get to go to school again? Ans.: Yes, but not to the college you have in mind. It seems that you will take a BUSINESS COURSE instead. I believe you will be more satisfied in the business world than doing educational work. N. D.—Did I do right when I quit going with this boy? Ans.: You did do right when you threw down this boy. All the time you were going with him, he was having an affair with another woman. He was not the kind of boy for you. L. S.—Will you tell me if my girl friend is true to me? Ans.: Your girl friend has never gone with your husband and she hasn't the least intentions of doing so. She is a true friend to you and wouldn't break up your home for anything in the world. E. D.—Will the trip I'm planning on taking turn out all right? Ans.: You can make your trip successful only through your efforts. I see you making this trip during the later part of this year and I believe your destination to be SANFORD, FLORIDA.

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 15. 1934 C. W. Peters, Champion Amateur Typewriter,to Open Speed School Word has been received from Cortez W. Peters, the only person of color to hold a World's Championship in Typewriting, that he contemplates opening evening classes for instruction in High Speed Typing for beginners and experienced operators about October 15, at an address to be announced later. The decision to open this class was reached as a result of a deluge of requests for an opportunity to receive instruction under him as inspired by numerous speed exhibitions given last Spring in various schools of the District. The tuition to be offered is most reasonable—only $3.50 per month, with instruction nights beginning Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Speeds will be personally taught and exhibited by Mr. Peters up to and in excess of 250 words per minute. Mimeographing and dictaphone operation, long a necessary equipment of an expert but sadly neglected, will be taught as a part of the typewriting course. Short-hand also will be taught, with but slight additional cost. Mr. Peters is an authorized representative of a large local typewriter concern and may sell standard machines, rebuilt or portable, upon convenient terms and at regular prices. He intends to grant Six Weeks' Free Instruction with the purchase of any machine bought through him, because as he says, "It is ridiculous for a person to buy a typewriter, be he who he may, and not even know how to change the ribbon or oil it, much less how to properly use it." These features will be thoroughly covered, including the fundamentals of the touch system. He will also handle repair work, rental of machines, and furnish to the public an uptodate and efficient commercial service, through which advanced students may earn their tuition and more. When questioned concerning his purpose in opening the school, Mr. Peters stated "There are always positions for efficient operators. For the past 10 years I have had more extra work than I could possibly handle, and most of it has paid not less than $1.50 per hour. know of openings for efficient operators, but where are those to be recommended who can sustain with accuracy even 90 words per minute? Many of our people could secure Government positions as typists and stenographers if they rated higher in the examinations. However, my purpose is to equip typists with speed and technique and accuracy and bring them to a standard of efficiency which will enable them not only to secure positions but to be able to hold them Those interested and desiring further information awaiting the announcement of the opening of the school may call Mr. Peters at Metropolitan 5674 any evening between 5 and 6:30 o'clock—Ady.

Two of our correspondents are in dear old New York interviewing members of the famous Cotton Club. This column expects to gvie you the biography of one of our colored or orchestra leaders soon. Well, here goes the news.... Next week will be a banner week for all of your boys and girls. For the first time in ten years, a circus parade will be held. On that morning school will be opened and many eager youngsters will be greatly disappointed. Even your ole standby is going back to take a post-graduate course at dear old Tech.

Joseph Beal will take the place of Wayman Noble as a baritone in the quartet. Good luck, Beal....And now it seems as though our pal Spider is taking a trip.

MORTALITY Budget Increase Asked by Dr. Fowler in Hope to Reduce Deaths Nearly $40,000 in actual cash increase is sought by Dr. W. C. Fowler. District health officer, in his budget for the fiscal year of 1936, it was disclosed in official reports early this week. The increase, he indicated, is requested in the pursuit of a program to stamp out tubercular mortality among colored residents of the city. In the request for administrative offices finances, Dr. Fowler raises the budget from $160,650 to $185,340. A dispensary maintenance budget would also require an increase from $42,998 to $57,280 under the program. In addition to the larger monetary allotments, Dr. Fowler would add to the personnel two-full-time physicians, four nurses, one supervising nurse, two record clerks and one laborer. In his own explanation of his requests, Dr. Fowler is credited with the following statement: "The increase asked for is to provide a more adequate personnel for the two dispensaries, principally the tuberculosis dispensary. Much criticism has appeared in the public press relative to the high death rate from tuberculosis in the District of Columbia. "The high death rate from tuberculosis is due to the large colored population in the District * * * The only way, in my judgment, to reduce the mortality among the colored race in the District is by visiting the homes and instructing the occupants in hygiene and sanitation." The best means of handling them in such cases, he said, is by sending out nurses to train them at home and to get them to the dispensaries and clinics where full time, instead of part time, doctors should be on duty.

V. Catto Hall, Thursday. The Haitian minister praised the movements inaugurated by Major R. R. Wright of the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company, to import coffee into this country and to export laundry soap to Haiti as well as the forthcoming celebration of Negro Progress. Big Movement The celebration committee, which comprises men and women of all professions has lined up with Major Wright to make this October celebration the biggest affair of its kind ever held. Last year the Citizens' and Southern Bank and Trust Company sponsored the 70th Anniversary Emancipation Celebration of Negro progress when more than 12,000 people attended. Although that celebration was said to have brought together the largest number of people ever gathered here in Philadelphia under one roof, the committee expects a much larger gathering this year. To Organize Out of this year's gathering Major Wright expects to form a permanent movement for trade with Haiti, Liberia, Abyssinia and the Virgin Isles. The first of these projects, trade with Haiti, is about to be inaugurated. A committee from New York interested in a tourist movement to Haiti conferred with Major Wright Wednesday and assured him of cooperation. On Thursday, Dr. Willis Huggins, of New York, chairman of the committee of the Haitian Afro-American Chamber of Commerce, which visited Haiti a few weeks ago, conferred with Major Wright in the commercial relations between this country and Haiti. Dr. Wright announced this week that he had made contacts which assured the sale of all Haitian coffee he can import in the near future. Licensed to Marry Raymond S.

Heat, Light and Power Plant The third of the three buildings being erected is a high tension Heat, Light and Power Plant to meet the immediate and future needs of the growing institution, $400,000 have already been made available by the Public Works Administration for this structure. The university authorities entertain the hope that an additional $68,000 will be provided so as to round out the plant in the best manner possible. The outside appearance of the building will reflect the general character of the other buildings now in process of erection. The Heat, Light and Power Plant building will be 78 feet high and cover a ground area of 8,563 square feet. A chimney, 10 feet in diameter, will rise 225 feet above the side-walk. The plant will have an ultimate capacity of 4,000 horsepower. Cassell Architect Albert I.

The colored men were soon scattered and the white men gathered in angry groups. A short while later the first group made a rush into the colored section and began scattering men, women, and children.

Vann Challenged to Open Discussion by Republican Official Attorney Perry W. Howard, former national committeeman from Mississippi and for many years acceive in political doings of the Republican party, appeared early this week with an open challenge to Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General, who is seeking to swing the tide of the Negro vote in Pennsylvania in favor of Democratic Committeeman Buffey. Guffey, it is divulged, would unseat Senator Reed in the upper house of the Capitol. Following is the letter released, Tuesday, by M. Howard: "My dear Mr. Vann: "In as much as I am advised that you are championing the candidacy of Democratic National Committee Guffey for the seat of United States Senator Reed and in as much as I am of the opinion that Senator Reed is filling the position with credit to the State of Pennsylvania and in the interest of all the people irrespective of race or creed and in as much as I shall take the stump for him in that great State I here and now challenge you to a joint debate of the issues between these gentlemen on such dates as will be convenient to each or both of us.

"I take the position that Senator Reed is the better prepared of the two men for the position and his continuance in that office means much more to our group than the election of Mr. Guffey, who in my judgment, is without the necessary experience and training for the position and as to this I am ready to go before the people.

Street Chase Ends in Capture of Collector's Footpad Apprehended by a civilian purger who proved to be fleeter afoot than he. John Marshall, 26, 200 block of Third Street, Northwest, was arrested and held on an open charge of investigation following his attempted robbery of George G. Fitton, white rent collector, last Wednesday. According to Fitton, who works for Waggaman-Brawner, white realty company, he was collecting rents in the 100 block of R Street, Northwest, when Marshall apparently crept up behind him and felled him with a blow on the back of the head. He recovered in time to assist in the chase and capture. A larger percentage of Negro enrollment is graduated from the smaller and the "regular" than from the larger and reorganized high schools.

MOTION SEEKS TO DESIGNATE SUIT DEFENDANT Would Have Plaintiff Name Capacity in which Defendant is Sued A motion to compel counsel for Charles C. Rivers, 781 Morton Street, Northwest, to designate in what capacity Dr. Magruder McDonald, District coroner, is being sued was filed by Welch, Daly and Welch, lawyers, late last week. Dr. McDonald was recently named defendant in a suit for $10,000 instituted for an alleged unwarranted autopsy. According to the original bill, morgue assistants of Dr. McDonald performed an autopsy on the body of little Thomas Christian Rivers. 13-day-old infant of the plaintiff, who died at a local hospital in early August. Without the consent of parents the bill avers, assistants of the coroner removed it to the District Morgue and allegedly so mutilated it that it was impossible to prepare it for a fit burial. Attorneys for the defendant immediately got in touch with E. P. Lovett, representing the parents of the child, and sought to have him inform them as to the capacity in which their client was being sued. He refused this and the motion followed. Whether or not Dr. McDonald is being sued as a private physician or as an agent of the government is the question put to the court by the motion of the defense attorneys. MASONIC GROUP TO MEET HERE Supreme Council to Hold 58th Biennial Sessions for Six Days The Saint John Grand Lodge of Masons of the District together with the Grand Commander Knights Templar, under the leadership of Edward Love, grand master of the General Masonic Congress of America and Canada, will be host to the Supreme Chapter of Eastern Star and all its allied bodies in its fifty-eighth biennial session here for six days.

NOTEBOOKS THEMES Drawings Couied - Quick Service LOW RATES BUCK PASSING IS CHARGED IN DORMITORY CASE Claims Civil Rights Group Took up Issue After N.A.A.C.P. Failed ANN ARBOR, MICH. (By Robert Crump for ANP)—Segregation and discrimination has again showed its head at the University of Michigan and race students are being barred from the dormitories. The latest case is that of Miss Jean Blackwell, of Baltimore, Md., who for several months has tried to engage a room in the Martha Cook dormitory with no success. Miss Blackwell is a senior at the U. of M. and as such has met all requirements which make students eligible to live in the Martha Cook dormitory but she is barred because of color. Refused Jim Crow Being referred to the Benjamin House, a "Jim Crow" house which houses only Negro students, on the pretext that the Martha Cook was filled Miss Blackwell refused to go there when she knew that there were rooms available in the Martha Cook dormitory. She was later assigned a place in the Moshew Jordon dormitory which houses freshmen of U. of M., Miss Blackwell forwarded a check to pay her room there which was later returned to her with no explanation. Hanging Fire This matter has been hanging fire since last May and in order to get something done about it the matter was taken up with Moses L. Walker, of Detroit, head of the N.A.A.C.P. there and later with John C. Dancy, executive secretary of the Urban League, neither of whom brought any action in the case. According to a letter from Mrs. Blackwell, the mother, Mr. Walker is said to have told her not to say anything to any one until she heard from him; but after waiting several months with no reply she took the matter up with the Detroit Civic Rights Committee. Suggest Dormitory Semi-Private Suggest Dorothy J. Smith A letter from Miss Jeannette Perry, assistant Dean of Women, states, "under the terms of the deed of gift, the occupants shall have sole and exclusive charge of its income, expenses and management", referring to the Martha Cook dormitory, and goes on to say that admission of all young women is left in charge of the social director by the Board of Governors, who says that the dean of women has nothing to do with the student personnel. All of this makes the matter more complicated as each passes the case on to some one else. Forced Concessions Some Years Ago It will be recalled that a few years ago a like situation came to the foreground over the Moshew Jordan Dormitory when Negro students were refused admittance. The fight was taken up in behalf of the students by a Detroit attorney and while he did not win the case he paved the way. Attorney Charles A. Roxborough while a member of the state senate tried to have a committee appointed to investigate matters at the Universi- while the committee was appointed the bars were and slightly and a few colored is said to have gotten in to the Moshew Jordan. Mr. Roxborough's daughter lives at the Moshew Jordan but according to registration records is registered as a Creole and according to students she does not associate with any Negro students. Meanwhile the matter is being investigated by Snow F. Grigsby, chairman of the Civic Rights Committee, upon request of the National Office of the N.A.A.C.P. with whom the matter was taken up after no action could be obtained from the local branch and the Urban League.

Asserting their knowledge of the unfair treatment that has been accorded the nine Scottsboro boys by the Alabama courts, the council went on record demanding a retrial of the entire case. Victims of Injustice In the retreat, they urged that racial animosity not be used to inflame the minds of the jury, that no racial discrimination be shown in the selection of the jury. In the event of the denial of a retrial, the council resolved to send a resolu- tion to the Governor of Alabama urging that he pardon "these nine victims of injustice in a so-called Christian state." The council further recommended that young Alabama Methodists combine with other youth in activities to secure justice for the nine boys.

Fowler has asked for an increase in the staff of physicians and nurses attached to the District Tuberculosis Dispensary. Dr. Fowler also has said that the high death rate from tuberculosis here is due to the large percentage of colored deaths from the disease. He asks the employment of two full-time physicians and four additional nurses. In a recent statement Dr. Fowler said: "Much criticism has appeared in the public press relative to the death rate from tuberculosis in the District. The Health Department has been doing all the work it can at the dispensary with the personnel at its command. The high rate of mortality from tuberculosis is due to the large colored population in this district. "It is well known that the economic condition of the colored race in the District does not compare favorably with that of the white population, and the only way, in my judgment, to reduce the mortality among the colored is by visiting the homes and instructing occupants in hygiene and sanitation and the danger resulting from crowded home conditions and exposure to active cases of tuberculosis. "The best means of approach in such a campaign is in the employment of an adequate number of nurses, attached to the dispensary, who can visit the homes, follow up tuberculosis contacts and induce them regularly to visit the dispensary and receive appropriate treatment, if they be infected with the disease or suspected of being infected." Since colored people are the ones affected by the disease we wonder if Dr. Fowler will recommend that Negro physicians and nurses be employed to render this service to their own. White physicians and nurses just cannot render that sympathetic service to Negroes their own race can. Back to the Farm Prof. Kelly Miller has come out with his annual address advising Negroes to stay on the farm. Dr. Miller is first a writer. He knows that his annual statement creates nation-wide discussion and is a highly controversial subject. For some time his releases have not been drawing the usual amount of discussion and as a result his value as a writer has decreased accordingly. To call attention to Kelly Miller when other things fail he merely "advises Negroes to stay on the farm." He knows that thousands of Negroes object to this statement and may come back with articles and statements taking an opposite view. On the other hand there are many farmers and well to do men in rural sections who approve of the back-to-farm idea. In the mean time Dr. Miller re-establishes himself in the world of columnists and basks in the wide publicity. A writer is successful when he draws response—whether it is pro or con. Dr. Miller knows this. Prof. Miller left the farm years ago and he only returns to the soil on a visit. One would hardly call his excellent garden over on Fourth Street a farm. He really left the farm when it actually meant something to be a farmer. Dr. Miller knows that farming has become a highly developed science these days and the Negro is being pushed out of this industry as in others. If time could be turned back 50 years it is seriously doubted whether the former Howard dean would take up the hoe and rake and follow the course many youngsters are pursuing in the various urban centers. The Big Laugh According to a recent story carried in the newspapers a man's race or nationality may be determined by his finger prints. This method was demonstrated at a recent meeting of the International Congress of Anthropological Sciences. According to the statement the police will know whether the "wanted man" is white or black, Gentile or Jew, Swedish, Italian or Spanish. Of course the usual "black face" white man will be exposed when a crime is committed, but the big laugh will be when some of the first white families of the old South are told that they are not white after all, but Negroes because they have the necessary few drops of colored blood that make a person a Negro. What we need most is fool-proof cars and fool-proof roads for them to run on, then drivers may drink all they want to. Kelly Miller Says There is one peculiarity about radical West Indians, they are meek as Moses and as submissive as lambs while in their native country, but crossing the seas seem to fill them with the spirit of irresponsible revolt I one time wrote an essay which was printed in the "Boston Transcript" and which gained wide currency on "Negro Radicals and Conservatives." That was nearly a generation ago. Since then times have changed and definitions have changed with them. In those days Dr. DuBois was considered our arch radical and Booker T. Washington our counterbalancing conservative. I was considered the daysman balancing midway between the two. Since then the world has moved rapidly toward the left. Robert R. Moton, the legatee of Booker T. Washington, is still our outstanding conservative, in that he holds fast to the things which have been proved to be good by experience and is wary of new and experimental doctrine. DuBois has drifted to the Right so that now the only difference between him and Moton is what Lord Macauley used to call a difference without a distinction. I will adhere to my original position of proving all things and holding fast to what is good. IRRESPONSIBLE RADICALS LACK MORAL RESPONSIBILITY Since the World War there has sprung up a group of irresponsible radicals who revel in doctrinaire theories without any political, social or moral responsibility. Dr. Washington and his spiritual descendant, R. R. Moton, felt or feels a keen sense of responsibility for the present weight of pressure of the race problem. Mr. Washington used to say that his soul sustained a pressure of ten thousand pounds to the square inch. Dr. DuBois arrogated to himself the sole proprietorship of the propaganda which combatted all that Booker Washington stood for. If Washington was the thesis, DuBois was the anti-thesis. He took his task seriously, but our modern day Negro radicals show a lackadiscal indifference to the awful possibilities of the drastic doctrine which they release. They ridicule or condemn the church, the state and the present social order, and leave the poor Negro at the mercy of whatever disaster the outcome may hold for him. When Langston Hughes says "Good-bye, Christ" he may as well say farewell to common sense and human hope. RADICAL NEGROES ARE ATHEISTICAL The radical Negro is atheistical, and believes neither in God nor man. He is the product (1) of Northern universities where he takes in undigested things, (2) Negro colleges, from whose religious and moral moorings set by the missionaries and philanthropists he has abruptly broken, (3) foreign re-enforcement. (I have somewhere defined a Negro radical as an overeducated West Indian without a job. There is one peculiarity about radical West Indians, they are meek as Moses and as submissive as lambs while in their native country, but crossing the seas seems to fill them with the spirit of irresponsible revolt). (4) The self-educated variety—George S. Schyler, is the most cynical and caustic of that group. As a whole, they are incribated with the first effects of a little learning which has always been a dangerous thing. Chafing under severe restraints, they kick against the pricks for the sake of exercising their heels. In order to be a genuine radical, one must be economically self-sustaining or economically indifferent. Socrates, Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, John Brown and Mahatma Gandhi spurned the allurements of wealth and power. But our would-be Negro radicals never disdain to be thrifty. I have often said that William Monroe Trotter was the only Negro I know willingly, and of set purpose, made a material sacrifice for the cause. The others are on the make. No man on a pay roll can be a radical. He must heeds subordinate his conscience to his job. A pay roll man must guage his radicalism by his rations. SOCIETY BUILDS UP APPROVED INTERESTS Society has built up and approved certain values and vested interests. It employs orthodox agents to safeguard and maintain these sanctioned values. Now the radical is at times necessary, else there would be no progress. But he must deny himself and take up his cross and be willing to carry it all the way to Golgotha We hear much about freedom of speech and conscience in our schools and churches but this freedom is of necessity limited to allowable latitude permitted by those who set up and allow existing order. If a preacher wants to overthrow the church, he should have the courage to withdraw from the ministry and fight from without. If our Negro radicals are not satisfied with Negro schools and colleges, let them use all legitimate remonstrance for improvement from within, and then failing, resign from the faculties and fight like men from their own foothold. DUBIOUS FUTURE I am neither a radical nor a conservative; I am by nature and persuasion an ameliorator. I believe in using every feasible means, with deafless courage, to change the bad into the good, the good into the better, the better into the best, and the best into the beatific. I would that all educated Negroes were even as I am, in this persuasion. We are facing a dubious future. In this changing world, none have the vision to foresee what place any off-colored group will have in the final form of adjustment. The Negro race is about to be battered with the shocks of doom. The sign of the times tell us that the day is at hand. I once called the "Negro Sanhedrin" for the purpose of taking wise heed of impending dangers. The time was not then ripe. The race mind was not then ready, but now it requires no soothsayer to see the portents at hand. We should be able to look to our educated young men and women to dream and see visions. The old leaders may, in many respects, have proved incompetent to grapple with the issues of their day and generation, but, alas, it is too painfully obvious that the present day Negro radicals are woefully inadequate to the requirements of this day and hour. The slogan of the Rotary International is "He who profits most serves best." That's a fine motto, and we believe the majority of Rotarians try to live up to it. We might add that he who boosts, most often gets booted most or booed least. WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Answer to the Challenge to the Church is not Based on Staid Orthodox Gospel Says Writer To the Editor: In your editorial of September 8, "A Challenge to the Church," you ask this significant question: "Is it possible that the old fashioned religion has lost its appeal?" Then you answer you own question with this: "Or after all people have tired of the staid and orthodox gospel that many present ministers are preaching." "Staid and orthodox gospel," is the answer. The preaching and practice of religion today is far removed from the Christianity that Jesus taught and practiced; the phrase "staid orthodox gospel," correctly classifies it. However, people are really tired of it and want a real, live, dynamic Christianity instead of creeds and dogmas. The world wants and truly needs the preaching and practice of true Christianity of duty of love to supplant the universally practiced "right" doctrine. Men need to know that they can only love and serve God, when they love and serve their fellowman. We need to know that we rebel against God and repudiate His will when we set our profit and ambition above the welfare of our fellowman and above the Kingdom of God which binds us together. We need to know that God works through humanity to realize His purposes, and that our sins block and destroy the "Reign of the Kingdom of God," in which He might fully reveal and realize himself. Therefore, our sins against the least of our fellowmen, concerns God. We need to know that our world is a Spiritual Commonwealth, with God in the midst of us. Put humanity in the picture and we are on Christian grounds. Then we should know that we cannot have or secure forgiveness from God as long as we refuse to forgive any man. We need to know that a man is a Christian in degree in which he shares the spirit and consciousness of Jesus Christ, conceiving God as Jesus knew him and seeing human life as Jesus realized it. Possibly few of us have attained this fully, we need to know how to strive for it here and now. We need ever to know that Christianity stands for the doctrine that we must love one another—all men without distinction. Christianity will not tolerate any "exempt" breed of supermen and no preempted areas of God's common world. Christianity does not call on the strong to climb to isolation across the backs of the weak, but challenges them to prove their strength by lifting the rest with them. It does not advise eliminating the unfit, but seeks to make them fit. It stands for the solidarity of the race in its weakness and strength, its defeats and conquests, its sin and salvation. We need to know that Christianity needs active personal agents who will incarnate its vitalities, propagate its principles, liberate its undeveloped forces, purify its doctrines and extend the sway of its faith in love over new realms of social life. The teaching of creed and dogams—"orthodox gospel" will never do this. It will have to come through the community church. J. A. G. LaVALLB. The Adult Centers-Educating for Living The Adult Centers-Educating for Living By MISS ANNA M. JACKSON Assistant to the Director of Evening and Summer Schools. Education for living is being demonstrated in the Adult Centers recently established by the Government. Through this educational activity men and women are being reached who either did not have educational opport- unity heretofore, or having it, failed to use it. Classes for the removal of illiteracy have as the basis of their curriculum, practical truths which will help the student in his every- day life. Efforts is being concentrated upon teaching the student how to read the Bible and news- papers, to write his name, to write letters to his friends, and make change. Instead of abstract arithmetic problems the student learns how to budget his small income and to compare the price of commodities in preparation for intelligent buying. How can we measure the success of these classes? By watching the pathetic joy of a woman of 70 years as she reads for you a passage in the Bible. By seeing an expression of happiness cross the face of an old man who has just learned to write his name. By hearing a group of women tell eagerly how they can now budget their small incomes and count change at the grocery store after purchasing their necessities. These experiences and many others are convincing proof that the Adult Centers are educating for living. It will take time to educate the general public to a whole hearted response, time for some to realize that they can learn more, and time for others to learn that the opportunity is not alone for the benighted. We have begun however, and the Adult Centers are giving to many people that intellectual stimulation obtained by new experiences and are helping them enrich, beautify and strengthen their lives. We have heard it said that only two per cent of the people think, and then we have heard it was twenty per cent, and fifty per cent, etc. But we hope it is one hundred per cent on a Sunday afternoon when we have the family out in the car. Life has its compensations. Those who suffered in the drouth this summer will shovel snow this winter and sing, "In The Good Old Summer Time." Don't let the fellow who always says "This isn't the time" get away with it. If he has no better argument than that he is ready to be convinced to your way of thinking. It's what you do when the boss isn't looking that determines whether some day you will be the boss. The business and professional man everywhere seem to be working over time on each other—as usual. It is not always safe to make a guess on matters we do not know. The NRA - An Interpretation This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, and accomplishments of the Nation's colleges and universities be used either by individuals for their own information or by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for the considerations of the variety of points of conferences, consultations, and hearings. Out of these deliberations come ways and means of cooperative action. The NRA uses democratic methods. It provides the means whereby men and groups of men can devise fair rules for the conduct of business. It either sets up man-made rules may be maintained from time to time. The guide presents a brief interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives hints and suggestions of methods for organizing such man-made rules other useful data. Inquiries for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great efforts undertaken by the NRA can be further elaborated only by further participation on the part of the people. (Continued from last week) 11. Problems Emerging "We sit always in the white heat of controversy," said General Hugh S. Johnson at the general public meeting held to hear criticisms of the NRA program on February 27, 1934, in Washington. Must hours of work be considerably reduced? In which industries? There was competent opinion that a considerable reduction of working hours is not needed in certain industries, and also competent opinion that the principle of reducing hours should be fairly generally applied. The experimental nature of much of the program was confusing to some people. This was largely inevitable, however, in so far-flung an enterprise as the NRA. It had to proceed often by trial and error. How much governmental guidance and supervision, was an eternal question. There were prominent citizens who wanted less governmental participation—and those who wanted more! General Johnhson presented to the public meeting held on February 27, 1934, a 12-point program which indicated the main problems the NRA was then tackling. "1. A more uniform and equitable rule of national price stabilization in those cases where it is necessary to maintain wages at a decent standard against the certain results Garvey Was Right BY CHARLES M. THOMAS Events move rapidly in this modern world, and the Washington Tribune records those that have meaning for our group while it often advises action. Last week this column mentioned the name of Lathrop Stoddard with that of Oswald Spengler and hostility to darker peoples. Hot upon that reference, came the detailed story, by Mr. Stoddard of Italy's intention respecting Africa, and the part desire for conquest and exploitation of the last great, unbounded resource or men and material, may have upon the fortunes of the world. Europe in Africa What the partition of Poland was to the earlier century, Africa seems to be destined to become at this later date. Behind the World War was the jealousy among European nations over the conquest of Africa. England wanted to complete the railroad from the southern end of its empire, the Cape of Good Hope, to Cairo, thereby dominating all Africa and making possible not only trade, but ease of control by transportation of troops and amunitions in case of rebellion anywhere. France dotted both East and West coast, and Belgium held the Congo, richest in light of the world's insatiable demand for rubber. Germany held the interior through which England's railroad would have to pass Italy controlled but little. America supervised Liberia; Abyssinia remained practically unconquered, inaccessible. Wealth Torn from Dark Africa The unmeasured billions torn from the man-power and resources of Africa by the greed and rapacity of these material-minded peoples will never by known. English queens and gentlemen (sie) enjoyed the rich returns from the hellish trade in slaves, for almost 3 centuries; Belgium literally tore billions of dollars worth of rubber from the heart of the Negro Congo by cruel treatment of the natives. The English nation and its gentlemen have enjoyed other billions from the diamond and gold mines of (?) British South Africa. The Dutch, French, and later comers have all taken their terrible toll to enable them to dominate and parade their superiority (?). Segregation Follows Exploitation Not only have these African natives been robbed of their limbs, lives, and material wealth, but they have been subjected to the most vicious social caste system known to history. By means of laws and legal fictions enforced by administrators and a bureaucracy that often became wealthy itself, the African was subjected to forced labor, and was denied every privilege of a man, even being compelled to get off the sidewalk when a white walked there, and to buy postage at a separate window in the post office. Kept in compounds, when diamonds were being dug, the patrons' hands were encased in steel shoes so that they might labor but not seek any small object in a climate and under tiger conditions where life is pleasurable, like of predatory and cut-throat competition, and further insurance against increase of price faster and further than increase of purchasing power. "2. A more effective rule on costs for the purposes of maintaining rules against sales costs of production. "3. Uniformity of wages and hourly rates in competitive industries "4. Uniform classification of areas for the purpose of the North-South differentials. "5. Further reduction in hours per week and further increase in hourly wages. "6. Certainty of protection against monopoly control and tries, and their reports have been received. The NRA's Division of Research and Planning has groups of research workers which are giving serious attention to points 1 to 6 and 9. Several reports for the guidance of the Administrator have been made by this Division, and other reports are in process. As before noted, labor and consumer advisers to administration members of the code authorities are being appointed. A number of code authorities are setting up agencies for the adjustment of labor disputes. oppression of small enterprise, and, especially, the inclusion in codes of adequate buying (as well as selling) provision to guard against oppression of small business. "7. A much improved method for securing prompt and effective compliance. "8 A safe method of financing code administration without racketeering and abuse. "9. Elimination of inconsistent or conflicting provisions among various codes. "10. Adequate labor and consumer representation in an advisory capacity on code authorities. "11. Uniformity of governmental representation on code authorities. "12. Wider use of mechanisms for settling labor disputes in connection with code administration." All of these important questions are being dealt with constantly and progress has already been made. The proposals were submitted for study to committees which were representative of many indus. (Concluded next week) sionaries were but the forerunners of exploiting forces of governing officials, soldiers and engineers, by whose rapacity the European governments profited. Native reservations were allotted from the poorest soil available, and though no white man was allowed inside, the mixed blooms increased 150 per cent in 15 years. Customs and taboos were studied by scientists in order to find ways of undoing the people through them, just as the American Indian was broken in this hemisphere by taking advantage of his religious customs and ceremonies. England has led the way to ruthless exploitation of the Africans and Africa; France has not lagged; Belgium paid for the damage she wrought, by suffering and loss in the World War. Italy seeks more territory and greater grandeur through repetition of the sack of Carthage by Rome. It is the madness that affects nations; the will to power. Taking Without Giving In a civilization such as now grips the world, no people may keep undeveloped resources against the need and demand of the world, hence Africa is bound to be further exploited. Commercial progress, however, brings about racial and cultural contacts that work changes not found in the profit list. In Africa those contacts have (1), torn the natives from their old tribal faiths and loyalties, (2), left others steeped in superstition and fetisch worship, and, (3) produced educated natives whose minds are a ferment of advanced ideas. All is so much like the contacts between American influences and its people of African descent as to alarm sociologists and inform genuine Negro leaders of what to expect in any future relations. Slowly England and France have found that they must give in order to continue to get, and but for the group very similar to the traitors and "yes men" we have in America among us, the African would have gotten more for what has been taken away from him. All too often he traded an empire for a toy, and place and power among his people for empty grandeur which he flaunted out but a day. France has been most understanding and grants of both high and complete education may be found in her colonies. England gives only when forced by fear, and goes so far a to discriminate in her tariff laws in favor of goods produced by white and against that by black labor. What A Vision Garvey Had away from the race welfare and, through shrewdness and subtlety, toward their own little Afri-American personal good, were too numerous to be fought with his lone puny might. We have the list of them spirit, saith the Lord." The great mass of Africans is not becoming imitation white men but better Africans, just as is hapening here in America, much to the discomfort of those among us who think to succeed by adopting spirit, saith the Lord." The great mass of Africans is not becoming imitation white men, but better Africans, just as is happening here in America, much to the discomfort of those among us who think to succeed by adopting the passing white man's methods of exploiting the fellow farther down. Once again relying upon spiritual forces, it seems that Africa is bound to cause the very holocust raided by Mr. Stoddard, and when the smoke of ages clears away, it will be found as foretold; "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Nared by Mr. Stoddard, and when the smoke of ages clears away, it will be found as foretold; "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Garvey! Lenine! Woodrow Wilson! Gandhi! and now Franklin D. Roosevelt! What a galaxy of leaders for humanity! Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES If you wish to be safe and wise And guard yourself against surprises There is one fact to recognize— You must make moves to organize, —Hayes The above lines (as any poet will tell you) contain more truth than poetry. Despite the fact that less than thirty per cent of Federal Employees are organized; this organized militant minority have gone places and done things for the benefit of their parasitic sisters and brothers. The American Federation of Government Employees, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, which to the writer's mind is the better Federal employee organization (the N. F. FE, being mostly a two-person affair) is now in convention in the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City. The meeting is being covered for this column by George H. Rycrawl of the Coast and Geodetic Survey who is one of the three Negro delegates. Mr. Rycrawl will summarize his observations of the convention in next week's issue. The writer, who is a fanatic on organization, once wondered why so few Negroes joined Federal employee organizations. He wonders no more. In addition to the fact that they pay no sick benefits, they seldom have street parades featuring fantastic costumes. The Newshawk had the pleasure of visiting Suburban Gardens recently when a political rally was going on featuring Senator Pope of cently when a political rally was a Neveda, Recorder of Deeds Dr. William J. Thompkins, some assistant to the Attorney General named Fleharty, and the Honorable Armond Scott, who is, the announcer said, "an outstanding member of the District Bar." M. The Newshawk said that he has never heard one man speak so loud and long and say less than Senator Pope in his life, when Special Assistant to the At-Mr. Scott, who was a Democrat torney General Robert L. Vann and Dr. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio (two members of the "Democratic Big Four") were leaders of the Republican Party, is an orator of the old school. He did not say much either and made a lot of noise saying it. Thompkins made the best speech of the day and it was a hum one. Alvin (Chick) Webb, a well known Washington writer born in the Panama Canal Zone and educated in New York City, who recently resigned as a messenger in the Coast Guard, is now an Under Clerk in the Register of Deeds office. Webb, a two-fisted writer who has wasted a great deal of time, money, and energy in semi-successful attempts to make some of the younger Negrites in the Federal service organization and race-conscious, had an opportunity to discover the real attitude of some of his fair-weather friends during his two-month unemployed period. The writer is going to offer a section of this column next week to Mr. Webb to give a few impressions of the Register of Deeds office or any subject which he thinks the readers of this column will appreciate. Webb will write a part, Rycraw, another part, and the Newshawk will give a four-sentence explanation of the attitude of the Old and New Dealers toward the NRA. J. D. Storm, who is one of the few guards of color retained in the service, who holds forth at the Smithsonian Institute, has just returned from a trip to the World's Fair at Chicago. Mr. Storm brought back such tales of the grandeur and glory which is the Fair's, that Mrs. Storm, who once taught at Prarie View College in Texas, departed at once for the Fair immediately after Mr. Storm's return. Mr. Storm tells me that the Department of Commerce has just taken over the Fair. He says that the Department is represented by models and exhibits from its ten bureaus. In case some one does not know what the ten bureaus of the Department of Commerce are, a list follows: Aeronautics; Standards; Census; Patent Office; Coast and Geodetip Survey; Fisheries; Lighthouses; Mines; and Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Although Mr. Storm did not say so, I think that John Wesley Taylor, ace messenger of the State Department, told me that he noticed at his visit to the Fair last July that the Secretary of Commerce's office was represented by seals of the Department and Bureau. I think that it was Robert V. Ingersoll (one of my favorite writers) who wrote: "We rise by raising others—and he who stoops above the Hallen, states erect. Robert L. Vann, a special assistant to the Attorney General, and the recognized leader of the Black Cabinet, is a man who is continually going out of his way to give assistance to many who later prove not only ungrateful but often untruthful. Mr. Vann had a birthday last week, and though congratulated by the writer, successfully succeeded in keeping his actual age out of the conversation. 1910 William Moore (State Department) Steen, the German student or rather a student of German of the State Department, has been awarded because of his high collegiate average a scholarship at Howard University for the coming school year. Mr. Steen, who hails from San Antonio, Texas, is one of the few young men I know who though working from 8 until 4:30, ROBERT L. VANN married, and making a nominal salary, has remained in college only able to get one or two subjects each year which he really wants continually seemingly without discouragement. We need more like him. Registration for Howard University opens September 22 and classes begin on Monday the 24. Part payments are acceptable. Professors Jesse Lewis and Howard Fitzhugh of the Commerce and Finance Departments have said that they are willing to give all possible assistance to Federal Employees who are interested in subjects in their departments. I take this to mean that they will see that one or two classes are offered after 5 o'clock. A hint to the wise is sufficient. What two happily married (?) Interior Department messengers met each other last Sunday at Freedmen's Hospital (sans wives) but with girl friends and made each other swear not to divulge the presence of the other? ***** Negro Republicans, who say that the New Deal has done and is doing little for the Negroes, will have a great deal of difficulty in convincing the Negroes of Indiana. Action will be started shortly to acquire for a $3,000,000 low-cost housing project in Indianapolis. The contracts contract for the project already has been signed. The general layout of buildings determined and preliminary plans drafted. The buildings will be low-colored.

SOCKS ..VISTA, Md.—During a fishing expedition last week at Point Lookout, W. A. Davis, local merchant and big game hunter, encountered a new kind of experience. For years he has hunted deer and bear, and recently bagged a five hundred pound black bear after a stiff battle in the mountains of Pennsylvania. In all of his fishing experiences, he had never before had to accept the challenge of the dreaded sea tiger. Strange as it may seem, the waters were teening with fish and one hardly expected to see anything so ferocious as a shark, but there they were—must have been a small school of them for they were of medium size and made their appearances in the same vicinity. Mr. Davis was having unusual luck in his sport, having taken in a large quantity of fish when he felt a strangely different tug at his line. Knowing he had made a strike of some kind he immediately began to haul in when, to his surprise, he found he had snagged the most unwelcome fish of his experience. The battle was on but due to the seeming good fortune that always favors him in such emergencies, the shark was soon subdued, after Mr. Davis had his finger split open during the battle. He continued to fish and before he finished, had secured about five hundred pounds of fish and had battled four sharks and brought three of them to shore. They were on exhibition at his store Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The largest shark measured four feet and was 28 pounds in weight, the others were a trifle smaller.

(CNS)—Mrs. Mae Walker Perry, adopted daughter of the late A'Telia Walker, and heir to the Walker fortune, has amended her complaint for divorce from her husband, Marion R. Perry, a local attorney, to include a request for $3,000 alimony, an allowance of $10 a week for the support of their child and a payment of $400 for attorney's fees, in addition to costs of court. In the original petition for the divorce filed last June, no alimony or allowance for child support was asked for, and attorneys' fees requested were $75. Recently Mr. Perry was found guilty of an attack on his wife and her attorney, R. L. Bailey, and Mrs. Perry says in her petition that she fears for her life and charges that her husband has been guilty of annoying her in many ways at her home. Perry was arrested last week for attacking his wife with a knife in front of their home. T. B. DISCUSSED AT CIVIC FORUM Dr. Kathleen Jones King Addresses Group on Tuberculosis The Civic National Forum held its first public meeting of the season at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon. Dr. Kathleen Jones King made a very instructive address on, "Tuberculosis." Another outstanding feature of the program was an address by Dr. John R. Francis on, "The Importance of the Forum." Dr. Francis, who acted as substitute speaker, said that the Forum Assembly is a very ancient institution and has aided every race and nation in solving per- plexing problems. He recommended the forum in lieu of violence, which under present conditions, is impracticable. The American Negro has three weapons: the ballot, the press, and the forum. The forum is the court of last resort. Mrs. Naomi Williams, noted mezza soprano, delighted the audience with two selections: "The Lord is My Light" and "In the Garden of My Heart." The Northeast Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Willie Rodgers, completed the musical part of the program.. The next public meeting will be held at the Berean Baptist Church, Eleventh and V. Streets, Northwest, Sunday, September 16, at 3:30 p.m. The Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor. Dr. Mary Daugherty, nationally known author and poetess, will be the guest speaker. V. H. Franklin is president of the forum. A boy had a fight with his father the other night and knocked the old man down. A bystander said, "That's the first time I ever saw a man get son-struck at night." ELDER MICHAUX IGNORES DR. DREW Challenge to Debate Rattle Snake Biting Thrown in Waste Basket A challenge to debate holiness and rattle snake biting from the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew to Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, radio evangelist, was ignored by the "Happy am I" pastor, according to the Rev. Michaux's secretary. The Rev. Mr. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, sent the challenge to Elder Michaux Monday. "Elder Michaux tore it up and threw it in the waste paper basket," said the secretary. Elder Michaux is not seeking cheap publicity and will not debate with Dr. Drew, said the spokesman. In a statement to The Tribune the Rev. Mr. Drew said that he will also challenge Bishop Calvin P. Dixon, known as the Black Billy Sunday, Father John Devine New York "Black Christ," Bishop L. W. Lawson and Elder Albert Teester of rattlesnake fame, The Rev. Mr. Dixon, has accepted the challenge according to Dr. Drew Just what will be discussed or debated by the ministers was made clear by the Rev. Mr. Drew As a further hit at Elder Michaux the Rev. Mr. Drew has anounced that he will marry 1,000 couples free of charge any time Elder Michaux announced last week that he would marry 100 free. , , COLLEGE OPENS MONDAY ORANGEBURG, S.

WIFE OF NAACP HEAD THWARTS D.C.JIM CROW Driver of Greyhound Bus Tried to Make Her Take Back Seat Mrs. Jessie Dickinson of Columbus, Ohio wife of the president of the Ohio conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Branches, blocked an attempt at segregation here Saturday when a bus driver of the Greygound Lines tried to make her take a back seat in the bus. Mrs. Dickinson's son who was with her at the tiem, protested to the manager who instructed the driver to permit Mrs. Dickinson to "sit where she pleases." Mrs. Dickinson for the past week was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Pinkett, the latter is local secretary of the NAACP. Young Dickinson went with his mother to the bus terminal where she took a seat near the front beside a white woman passenger. The white driver asked Mrs. Dickerson to take a seat in the rear and when she refused he became more positive and demanded that she move. Her son seeing the situation went to the office of the manager who sent word to the driver, to allow the passenger to remain where she was. The white woman passenger did not object to the color of her traveling neighbor. Trolley-Truck Crash Injures Three Persons Three persons, including Annie Green, 18, of the 1800 block of Eighteenth Street, Northwest, were injured when a coal truck driven by B.

SAYS EDUCATION AMONG NEGROES NEGLECTS HEALTH Proper Care of Body Must Become a Religion, Says Thomas By Charles M. Thomas So many serious results follow from general unhealthful conditions among any people, that attention to health is of prime importance. Hebrebr Spencer, English philosopher, placed, "How to live," as the first aim of education, in discussing "What Knowledge is of Most Worth," in 1876. Bad health was in England at that time, just about what it is among our colored population today, the combined consequence of poverty, ignorance and oppression as affecting character. Must Be Made a Religion So vital a change in the general aim of a people must be made by some vivid and exciting experience, hence our attention to the need of better health among us must be made a religion. African conditions for thousands of years followed by conditions during slavery here in America, made death rather than life, the idea and incident standing highest in our minds. Our religion like that of other peoples, has emphasized death and life of the spirit afterwards. New thought places that emphasis upon life and the use of its opportunities here and now; more abundant life. Delayed Recommendation The change in point of view demanded, is based upon right education, upon adequate income, upon general community and state cooperation, and upon a hopeful and possible future. Here in Washington, the summary of deaths for 1932 shows a rate of 14.056 for white people and 21.551 for colored. In tubercular diseases the rate is: respiratory, 201 white, 328 colored; meningitis, 4 white, 20 colored; peritonitis, 0 white, 10 colored; milion, 6 white, 18 colored; all others 6 white, none colored. This leads Health Officer Dr. C. W. Fowler, to say: September 10, "The high death rate from tuberculosis is due to the large colored population in the District. ...The only way, in my judgment, to reduce the mortality among the colored race in the District is by visiting the homes and instructing the occupants in hygiene and sanitation." Cites Causes That movement by Dr. Fowler is a delayed recommendation, and is good as far as it goes, but back of it is the reform in low earning power of the colored people based as much upon discrimination against them in matters of employment as upon any "inefficiency" quoted so often as the reason for not employing them. Again, we believe the causes to be the poor houses they are obliged to rent because of that low income, and finally, the peculiar neglect of teaching in hygiene and health in every branch of the educational system, both as a subject of importance with any other and in a manner to give it prestige i n the minds of parents and students. Neglect Health Programs Strange as it seems, colored peoples everywhere place little value upon health and its demands upon learning. Every colored country finds its educated members neglecting health for languages, science, philosophy, political science and other more ornamental and spectacular but less vital concerns of the whole body. It is a problem of the African governments, and is likewise traceable through all the colonies and islands inhabited by people of African descent. Dr. Thompkins's program for Negro agents of health calls for support. Woman Bites Officer Who Attempts to Arrest Mate A charge of assault was placed against Mrs. Ethel Bailey, of the 000 block of O Street, Northwest, this week, for allegedly biting Policeman I. L. Weatherhead, Fifth Precinct, white; as he attempted to arrest her husband on a disorderly conduct charge. According to police records, Mrs. Bailey attacked the officer near Gallinger Hospital when he sought her mate, William. Both were arrested; the husband on the disorderly charge and the wife on an assault charge. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, IT'S CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELE THE TRIBUNE A. 一 MISS McRAE DOES NOT APPROVE OF NEGRO ADVISORS MISS McRAE DOES NOT APPROVE OF NEGRO ADVISORS Says Whole Setup Lowers Race to Wards of Government In a statement to The Tribune this week, Miss Gretchen McRae who has been fighting segregation in government departments, denied that she sought to have a Negro replace Dr. Clark Foreman, white advisor on Negro affairs, Department of Interior. Miss McRae declared that an out-of-town paper last week erroneously quoted her. Miss McRae is seek the removal of Dr. Foreman and charges that he is fostering segregation. Her statement follows: Says Paper Was Wrong "Anyone who has followed the fight against Governmental segregation knows that I would not approve, advocate, or pioneer in the field to substitute a Negro in the place of Dr. Foreman as Negro Advisor, which was erroneously reported last week in an out-of-town newspaper. "Everything in my protests now before the Secretay of the Interior is a challenge against Governmental segregation. And because of the long struggle waged by the clerks in this very Department, the office of Advisor should never have been established. "Emphathically I stated in my protest to the Secretary of the Interior asking the removal of Dr. Foreman: "The whole set-up of Advisors on Negro Affairs is parallel in principle to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and lowers the status of colored citizens relatively to the status of wards, and therefore infringes on their constitutional rights." Would not Change Policy Would not Change Policy "Replacing Dr. Foreman by a Negro would in no way change the policy of segregation, or remedy the above cited discriminations. Remember a colored man can infringe upon your constitutional rights the same as a white man. "Although the advisors have had ample time to display their aptitudes with very little interference from the colored people, their performance in obtaining a representative share of employment for colored labor has been most discouraging. Masses Becoming Restive "Meantime colored masses are becoming more restive and impatient with Negro leaders who advise themselves into segregated jobs, while labors' share of jobs, together with opportunities for employment in main channels diminish, and the proportion of destitute families on relief increases. "The colored people are ten per cent of the population of the country, and the New Deal objectives for a better distribution of wealth cannot be called on its way until thousands of jobs new excluded to Negroes are made available to them in the open avenues of employment." Young Woman Sustains Leg Fracture in Auto Mishap Four persons were injured, one seriously, when two machines collided at Third and N Streets, Southwest, Tuesday night.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 15. 1934 Radio Artist to Appear in Concert Here Washington is in for a real musical treat on September 20 when Miss Eva Jessye, (right), well known stage and radio artist, presents her choir here in the first of a series of Music Hour concerts at Lincoln Church.

Further than that, Miss Jessie and her singers made the first talkie short for Warner Brothers. They appeared on numerous radio programs, among them Major Bowes' Capitol Family hour, with the Southern, on international broadcasts, and they, for a long while last summer and fall, presented their own program, "Thoughts at Sunset." Nearly 1,000 on Grace Condu Nearly 1,000 on Hand as Bishop Grace Conducts Baptism Outnumbered only by the large crowd of white curiosity-seekers, new and old candidates to the House of Prayer, Sixth and M Streets, Northwest, were conducted through the paces of baptismal rites ni the inlet near the Washington-Hoover Airport, Sunday afternoon. Bishop C. M. Grace, founder of the religion the House of Prayer represents, presided. Between one and two hundred novitiates were baptized. Approximately 500 white and colored spectators looked on. The near 200 who participated in the rituals raised the total of persons involed to little less than a thousand. The first of the throng began to arrive before noon, the ceremonies scheduled to begin at 1 o'clock. Prior to the arrival of the bishop, Elder Ernest Mitchell, who assisted Bishop Grace throughout, took charge. Preliminary speeches, prayers and hymnals were conducted under his direction. Wit the arrival of Bishop Grace, however, the entire atmosphere changed. Members became rest- Survey Shows 0 Adult Education However, Jim Crow Raises lic Utilities Where ows Opportunities in Education in the District now Raises its Head in Many of the Pubes Where Negroes Might Seek Survey Shows Opportunities in Adult Education in the District to Better Themselves The following article was written as a result of a recent survey by Local 27, Washington Teachers Union. BY DON B. GOLOOLE So-called adult education is now coming to its own in this country. Since the great depression began, millions of men and women have been unable to get schooling, that they needed in their youth. Formerly Americanization schools and night school departments of the public schools were once sufficient to care for the educational needs of grown men and women. In the book learning. Now, however, that is by no means the case. Not only public schools and public libraries are giving adult instruction. All kinds of organizations, private, public and semi-public are offering opportunities for this kind of schooling. Recently Local 27, the Washington Teachers' Union made a survey of adult education in the District of Columbia, and found an amazing variety of opportunities for students. All kinds of lectures by different teachers and scientific societies, courses offered to employees by public utilities, other courses given by propaganda organizations and even regular instruction by departments of the government made available for its employees. Now, of course, the thing that interests colored citizens of the Capital most is which of these discriminate against Negroes! If so, what is to be done about it? Negroes are not the only group of them do not care to accommodate us. Almost anything in Washington is likely to discriminate on grounds of race or color. Moreover, in the case of private education, Negroes have little educational linkage to it. Very clearly, if an Art Promoter's Club has its headquarters in the Carlton Model, it offers little educational opportunity to the colored citizens of Washington. If the D.A.R. does not care to expose Negroes to its rejection propaganda, 'no one cares' to expose them, and thus prising it for universities which have hitherto excluded Negroes from their regular courses, pursuing the same policy in their A. E. less as he climbed to the top of the platform and took his seat on a throne bedecked in a shiny, yellow material. Little attention was paid the few remaining speakers on the program. Finally the lishap arose and began his speech. He delivered his talk with his characteristic calm beginning, winding up with all the feverish emotion he could arouse. Shouts of "Amen" followed his every line as the congregation gradually developed into a state of religious ecstacy. Stalwarts Form Ring Twelve of his largest elders were sent into the water to form a protective ring around the bantismal party. Then he descended into the water, wading in up to his shoulders. Men, women and children were placed into the hands of the Bishop who clasped a hand over the face of the candidate and quickly ducked the candidate into the water. Some emerged highly nervous, others came out on the verge of adult education courses. Speaking of semi-public agencies like the public utilities, the situation is very similar. The gas company offers courses for the benefit of its more highly skilled employees, and offers a scholarship in Johns Hopkins University, for unusually promising employees, who wish to continue their studies. It is not hard to see how much benefit colored people receive by a company which employs Negroes only in the most menial capacities. Besides, all know how much chance he would have of using a scholarship in Johns Hopkins. About the same may be said by the electric company, the banks and the telephone company. Still colored people can do little to prevent this just now. Unless these utilities are nationalized, we would not be able to afford and fight their discrimination against us. Last we come to adult educational activities of a strictly public kind. Some departments of the Federal Government in Washington offer chances for their own students to attend extra school education. For instance the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce give courses of lectures on technical and scientific subjects. In some cases, those who attend these courses get credit them in universities and count them toward degrees. Right here, three questions come up that interest Afro-Americans. Are they allowed to take and receive credit for such courses, in case they are employees in the government or are other candidates? In case, there is no continuation, have any colored persons taken advantage of them? If there is discrimination, what can we do about it? Admit them, the facts are not immediately available. If no person can get the right officials in an audition, the matter is certainly worth looking into. If these courses are open to Negroes some could it from them, even if they have not done so in the past. If not, colored citizens of the District might be interested to OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER SOUTHW oncert Here hysteria. Still others were faint when they were raised from the watery depths. The band played $\alpha$ curiously rhythmic tune the entire time of the ceremony. The crowd on the bank appeared somewhat awed by the sight of their friends in the water going through this religious experience and remained mute. LANKFORD NAMED CODE ADVISOR OF TECHNICAL GROUP Howard University Represented at Meeting by L. K. Downing DAYTON, Ohio—The election of officials was the closing gesture of the sixth annual session of the National Technical Association, held at Linden Center, this city during the past three days. Thirty delegates representing architects, engineers and chemists of five local branches located in Chicago, Detroit, Dayton, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. together with a few non-delegate members and a large group of visitors listened to an address of welcome from Mayor Charles W. Brennan of Dayton, who frankly acknowledged surprise when informed that the gathering represented more than three hundred professionally trained men in the field of science. The following officers were elected: James A. Parsons, Jr., Dayton, Ohio, president; Charles S. Duke, Chicago, Ill., vice-president; John A. Lankford, Washington, eastern vice president; and the organization's representative at the Capital on code matters; western vice president, Paul E. Johnson, Chicago; central vice president, Elmer J. Cheeks, Cleveland; secretary, J. C. Evans, Institute, W. Va.; treasurer, Cornelius L. Henderson, Detroit. The Ohio branch hosts to the body included J. A. Dunn, E. Ryder, E. P. Taylor E. L. Nickerson, John L. Thomas, W. L. Langdowne and Fred Grisby. Howard University was represented by the Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, L. K. Downing. School Principals Assigned to Free-Lunch Probe Free public school lunches will be resumed on October 1, according to Mrs. Katherine Ansley, who recently was named to again head the program. The two weeks between the opening of school and the resumption of the project has been allowed principals of schools for the purpose of investigations they are expected to conduct to find out the conditions of families from which the students recommended for the service come. Italy Denies Plan of Expansion in Abyssinia NEW YORK, (ANP) — Universal Service reports a denial from Rome Italy, of stores to the effect that Italy was preparing to make a military move against Ethiopia. A high government official, of cabinet rank, stated: "It is true that a few months ago there was some cause for disagreement between Italy and Absassinia, but the situation is better now than it has been for a long time. It is absolutely false that Italy is planning any such attack." The article in question asserted that mules necessary for mountain expeditions were being gradually brought by the Italian army and that war materials were being accumulated in Southern Italian ports and in the colonies. First reports of friction between Italy and Abyssinia were heard in connection with a reputed interest of Japan in the African empire. It was stated that the engagement of ar: Ethiopian prince and a Japanese countess was broken because of pressure brought by Italy. DENY WHOLESALE EXPULSIONS FROM TEACHER COLLEGE DENY WHOLESALE EXPULSIONS FROM TEACHER COLLEGE Report that Large Number of Miner Students Dismissed is Unconfirmed Speculation was rife, early this week, as to the number of students who will be barred from resuming their studies at Miner Teachers College when the fall term begins. Rumors placed the total as high as 75 or 76 young men and women, but these figures were unconfirmed in a Tribune investigation. Inquiry at the office of Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, found officials at the Franklin Building unaware of any unusual action concerning the administration at the college. John S. George, secretary to the assistant superintendent, declared that there was no record of any dismissals or expulsions from the Georgia Avenue institution. Rumor Unconfirmed Asked for verification of the rumor, John Williams, registrar at Miner College, stated that although there were some students who were ineligible to return to school during the fall semester, it was impossible to ascertain the exact number without an extended search of the records and of the outgoing mail matter for the past year. Mr. Williams said it is a ruling of the American Association to drop any student who for academic reasons has not measured up to the standard and placed on probation twice. These students, according to the ruling, are required to remain out of school for a semester —presumably for study purposes—before resuming courses. When this action is taken the student involved is notified in a personal letter from school officials. It is, therefore, impossible that any but the individual and the administration would be aware of the action taken. Study of Land Grant Colleges Well Received INSTITUTE. W. Va., — The study entitled "Land-Grant Colleges for Negroes" written by President John W. Davis of West Virginia State College and published by the college last April, has been well received and highly commended. This bulletin, which is 73 pages in length, presents a historical treatment of the origin and growth of the seventeen land-grant colleges for Negroes in their relation to the land-grant college movement. It also presents up-to-date data concerning the enrollment and financial support of these colleges and shows clearly how the institutions are handicapped in their work by inadequate and inequitable division of federal funds allotted to the several states, with special reference to funds for extension work, 4-H Club work, and agricultural experiment stations.
