ANGELO HERNDON NEAR RIOT AT RELIEF CENTER White Case Worker Beats Man Seeking Aid at Banneker Center Dennis Hardy. 30. 713 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, is being held under $300 bond, following a near riot at Banneker Relief Center, Georgia Avenue and Euclid Street, Northwest, in which several white case workers were involved. The trial is scheduled for October 25, after being postponed twice, and will be held before a jury, according to Edward P. Lovett, attorney for Hardy. The history of the trouble goes back to an August date when Hardy, who has a wife and three children, is reported to have been asked to move from a V Street address, where he owed rent, by Supervisor L. N. Nebecker of the Relief Center, and that he would assume the responsibility of the back rent. When Hardy failed to produce eviction papers from his Corner address he was refused rent for his new home. The following week. Hardy was forced to wait several hours in order to see the supervisor and became angry and rushed him. When they continued to argue, McDonald, white, a case worker, took up the argument and while several white workers held Hardy, McDonald hit him in the eye, breaking loose. Hardy bit McDonald. Hardy was arrested later that evening upon his return from treatment for his eye. The case workers involved were awaiting him, on the strength of a threat, said to have been made after the wrestle. Finding out that he was being allegedly framed at the trial, September 15, in the U.S. Branch of the police court before, Judge Gus A. Schuldt, Hardy asked for a postponement until the next day which was granted. The following day he was represented by Attorney Lovett and a jury trial was granted for October 4.

Nelson Heads Work of Pennsylvania State Committee DePriest Lends Aid By Addressing Two Meetings During Week By Joseph V. Baker Philadelphia — State Athletic Commissioner Robert J. Nelson will head the work of the Republican State Committee among Negroes. His portfolio was handed him by State Chairman M. Harvey Taylor in a closed conference in Harrisburg last late week, and the seasoned politician, who, as a Pinchot appointee has made an enviable record in his position, moved immediately to create an organization which will "bring back to the Republican Party those colored people who have been alienated by our traditional enemies—the Democrats. Starts to Work The chairman of the Republican State Committee for work among colored citizens lost no time in dividing the Commonwealth into three workable sections and placing at their heads outstanding figures who will work toward getting complete harmony for the G. O. P. cause. The Southeastern portion which includes Philadelphia, will be under the direction of Herbert E. Millen, Special Deputy Attorney General and head of the City-wide Republican League. Dr. Charles Crampton was naped by the chairman to direct the activities of the Central unit with headquarters in Harrisburg. Associated with him there, according to the first drafts of the State-wide plans, will be Mrs. Maude B. Coleman of the State Welfare Department, who has also been named a member of the Woman's Executive Council. Frank L. Jefferson, Steelton, will serve as secretary of the campaign set-up and Joseph V. Baker was named counsel of the speakers-publicity bureau. Emphasize Harmony In talking over the range of the Norton work in the State with the organization pledged to support the Republican ticket solidly, Nelson emphasized the need of whole-hearted harmony and the absolute elimination of all factual differences. He said that a seek in a preferable way of resistance and solid support men active in politics over long periods. In pointing this out be said. PETER H. ROBERT J. NELSON "We will carry the torch of Republicanism from Lake Erie to the Delaware River in the attempt to bring back to the Republican Party the misguided members of our race who have been alienated by our traditional enemies—the Democrats. It is as true today as it was when the Republican Party was founded on the proposition of human slavery and when the Democrats fought to maintain enslavement of the Negro that the same Democratic Party is innermly opposed to our race." DePriest Speaker While all of the definite plans for the campaign have not been completed, the big guns of the major attack swing into action last Wednesday when Congressman Oscar Derriest spoke to two meetings of Republicans, one in North Philadelphia supporting the candidacy of Hobson R. Reynolds at Haven M. E. Church, Twenty-third and Oxford Streets; and in Germantown at St. Vincent's Hall, East Price and Wakefield Streets. In both of these speeches the fiery Chicagoan called for more Republican support in Congress to aid in fighting off the dictatorship swiftly being created by the adjourned Democratic caucus. UNION MEN FIGHT CHI DEFENDER National Labor Board Hears Plea of White Men for Re-employment Charging that the Robert S. Abbott Publishing Company, publishers of the Chicago Defender, had violated Section 7A of the National Recovery Act, 35 white union men, former employees of the company, carried their fight to the National Labor Relations Board here Tuesday asking that they be re-employed. The white union men were dismissed last June and colored men employed. The union claims that the dismissal of the white men was in violation of the section which guarantees the principle of collective bargaining of workers through their representative. Paper Attacked The hearing here this week lasted several hours and was held in the Labor Department Building. Attorney Armond W. Scott and Attorney Elwood Hubert represented the Chicago Defender. The newspaper claimed that the change from white to colored had been contemplated for several years and matters reached a crisis a few years ago when a "buy-where-you-work" campaign was being waged BUFFALO, S. Y.—The Democratic party of the State of New York in convention here last week adopted a platform containing a plank reading: "We urge Congress to enact the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill." This action was undoubtedly the result of the widespread agitation conducted throughout the country for the passage of this bill. Gov. Hirbert H. Lehman, who was nominated by the convention, is a member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is sponsoring the bill. Jury Holds Red-Haired Paramour for Fatal Shooting of Racketeer Haywood Patterson and Norris Doomed to Die on December 7 Alabama Supreme Court Sentences Two of Scottsboro Boys to Chair; I.L.D. Girds to Take Case to United States High Tribunal "Bobbie" Harris Faces 15 Year Sentence and $1000 Fine as Possibility LAWYERS NEAR BLOWS AS MURDER TRIAL ENDS Spectators Horrified by Charges of Infidelity; Girl May be Set Free A conviction on a charge of manslaughter was returned by a jury trying the confessed slayer of Charles J. Beatty, well known underworld character and police figure before Justice Oscar R. Luhring, in Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court. Tuesday. The trial was brought to an end following two days of testimony by prosecution and defense witnesses. As a result of the verdict, returned after more than 7 hours of deliberation, Carlotta (Bobbie) Harris, 27-year-old red head, faces a penalty ranging from $1,000 fine or 15 years imprisonment or both, as a maximum. There is no minimum, it being left to the discretion of the court as to whether or not any sentence shall be imposed. The jury was given the case at 3:40 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, shortly after one of the most bitter verbal battles in the history of the local Supreme Court. Lawyers Bitter Throughout the late morning hours and early afternoon Attorneys John H. Wilson and Fred J. Icenhower the latter white, representing the defense, had exchanged charges of 'unfairness,' 'fixing,' 'indecency,' etc., with Attorney Irving Goldstein, in charge of the prosecution. It was this skimish between government and defense lawyers that wound up a most colorful murder trial—if murder trials can be colorful. Mrs. Harris has faced an indictment for first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Beatty on June 4, last. The killing occurred in the living room of an apartment at 1833 Fourteenth Street, Northwest where Beatty made his home with his wife, Mrs. Lydia Beatty, and their 11-year-old adopted son Alfred. It was largely on the basis of this testimony by the youthful Alfred that the government rested its case. He was the sole eyewitness to the tragedy, having been awakened by the voices of Beatty and Mrs. Harris just before the firing of the pistol which ended the victim's life. Both Spring Surprise Both sides introducing surprises witnesses in the last day of the trial. A move on the part of the defense sought to establish Beatty as a "hard" man, a crooked "numbers" operator and a gunman. Mrs. Edna Gray, whose testimony was to the effect that Beatty in 1921, had taken her to a spot in Mount Ranier, Md., and threatened her at gun-point and with a razor and attempted to rob her of $350 she had in her possession for the purpose of closing a real estate transaction, was the defense's "surprise."

The quartet is composed of Mary, 11; Jessie, 14; Freddie, 16, and Edward, 18. They sang three selections which were loudly applauded. Wednesday evening, E. T.

Brockenbury ROANOKE, Va.—Ray Kemp's Big Blues came down from the hills of West Virginia last Saturday, shook the Hampton jinx, and scored a 7-6 victory over Gid Smith's Pirates before a thrill-hunting crowd that dared the ravages of pneumonia to witness what they knew would be a bitterly fought contest. The game was played on a field that had been soaked by a steady drizzle that lasted twenty-three hours. The closeness of the game is indicated by the score. But the score fails to tell of the hair-raising thrills that came constantly after Thompson's trusty toe had sent the pigskin to Hampton's twenty-yard line. It fails to tell, for instance, how the Blue backfield of Captain Banks, Webster, Flippen and Thompson ripped and tore through the Pirate line and around the ends to make the initial tally before the fray was twelve minutes old. It fails to tell, also, how Smokey Joe Dismond, product of Hampton's Phenix High School stepped out of his high school quarterback role into the boots of the famous Powerhouse Ike Richmond and kept the Pirates in the game by his brilliant running, passing, and kicking. Nor does the score tell how the rangy star end, Slim Starks, substituted in the second period after the captain, Dirk Bell had been injured in the same period, grabbed one of Dismond's passes out of the air on his own forty-five-yard line and raced the remaining fifty-five yards without a Bluefield man laying a finger on him. Perhaps the outstanding linesman of the game was Johnson, who constantly tore through the Pirates' forward wall to throw the backs for losses. In all eleven men participated in the contest for Hampton who had never before played a collegiate game. THE LINE-UPS LINCOLN BOWS TO UNION BY 8-2 Pennsylvanians Defeated by Play of Virginians in Sea of Mud PHILADELPHIA. 'Pa.—With bared fangs and bristling manes the Lincoln Lions dropped a close decision in a hard-fought fracas with the Panthers from Virginia Union, 8-2. A few hundred spectators cheered and groaned alternately as the Rivero proteges bowed to the visitors from Virginia in a veritable sea of mud. Throughout the entire contest a slow drizzle fell to further affect the quagmire which served as a gridiron. The pigskin itself, had to be frequently cleaned with a towel so that it might not be mistaken for a huge mud ball. Game Bitterly Fought It was a stubborn array of huskies, representing the Chester County institution, every inch gained through its forward wall being hotly contested. Thus it was that the Union eleven resorted to the tactics which finally were instrumental in the attainment of victory. Finding the Lion line almost invincible, the Panthers began a sustained barrage of passes, completing many to harass and threaten the Chester County collegians repeatedly. Occasionally, their flips were intercepted but knowing the futility of attempting to score through the Lions' battlefront, they persisted. A combination of neatly executed NEWS Versatility Strong Factor in Well Fortified 'Force Backfield The19th HOLE By "HAPPY" WALTERS Clyde Martin and Rudolph Eiseman got revenge the past week for the beating taken from Harry Jackson and Billy Adams, last month. Jackson teamed with Billy King a Kensington, Maryland golfer to lose a one-sided battle seven up and five. Undoubtedly this team of Martin and Eiseman is a hard duo to beat and they proceeded to scorch the last nine holes of this match. King is employed at the Columbia Club and works in the golf shop. Having caddied here for several years he gradually took a liking to the game and has developed into a fine shot-maker. Not having the benefit of practice he could not give Jackson the support that was needed but I'm sure he will be prepared on the next visit for it cost the losers a pretty penny. ..... The medal round of the district journey was completed last Sunday with George Thomas losing to "Happy" Waters, seventy to a sixty-eight. Both players had hard matches in their morning rounds and under the circumstances did tolerably well in this play-off. --- Every year we seem to garner new players in both tourneys and this year one Clyde Butler has been knocking "em" right and left in the consolation of the contest now in progress. Butler has the uncanny ability to lay those second shots dead and that's the shot that pays. George Thomas stood on the Fourteenth hole 2 up on Butler and this youngster turned on the "works" catching Thomas at the Seventeenth hole of the match winning 2 and your local golf sharks had better steer aside from this young man unless prepared. * * * * Tourney Topics: Very few contestants were reaching the ninth on the drive. . .

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 13. 1934 [a][b] :: [a] By Tribune Correspondent The Wilberforce gridders pack a powerful scoring threat with its array of backfield talent. In its opening games, this season they have scored 33 points against West Kentucky State and 26 points against Alabama's Hornets. The Ohioans are headed by the diminutive "Little Caesar" Junius a spot player who has never started a game for 'Force. He is the Warburton of the colored schools. A ten-second man, an accurate passer and a broken field runner who ran through every team the "Big Green" played, last year sometimes minus interference and blocking. Jack Hart "the bruiser," a 200-pound halfback is playing his last year. His fame is widespread in the mid-west and southwestern conferences, a natural ball-carrier, a great player on defense and a man that will flash through any time for a touchdown. The Rains brothers are to "Force" as the Dean brothers are to the Cardinals. Dave, the kicking end, is the greatest punter in the history of Wilberforce, excelling such kickers as Scurry, Richey, and "Bull" Moore. He is a passer and a power on end-around plays. Horace, the hard hitting halfback, is a punter of no mean ability, a ten-second man and an accurate passer. Van Jenkins, last year's end skirting halfback has been converted into a quarter-back this season. He possesses a fighting heart, has plenty of ability off tackle, and can kick like a mule if the occasion demands. Eddie Johnson, a fullback who has seen very little action in his first two years, is playing first string this season. A deadly tackle, he is an excellent blocker and a plunging back. And to complete a well-rounded backfield Ike Richmond, better known as "Powerhouse," former Hampton and Arkansas State star and last year's All-American halfback, is alternating at fullback for the "Big Green Wave." He was a star in every game last year at Hampton, hitting back, punter, and one of the best drop-kickers in the game. VA. STATE-PIRATE FEUD RESUMED SATURDAY Trojans Play Hosts to Aged Rivals, Hampton, in Home-coming PETERSBURG, Va.—Saturday, October 13, when Virginia State College and Hampton meet in their annual football tilt, will be Home Coming Day on the campus of Virginia State College. A large number of the State College's Alumni are expected to come to the campus on that day to witness he struggle between these two ancient rivals a game which is certain to be hard fought, thrilling and interesting in accordance with long established traditions. Coaches Jefferson, Verdell and Barnes have been busy since the Bluefield game profiting greatly by the experience which the Trojans gained therein. The State boys will be ready for the Pirates; and Gid Smith's team is always ready. All of which spoils good game. Hampton and Virginia State began their athletic relations in 1904 in a football game which the State boy won 5 to 0. Throughout the entire period the two institutions have met in 18 football encounters of which Hampton has won 8, Virginia State was victorious in 7 3 have ended in ties. Last Session Rally Defeats LeMoyne for Tuskegee TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Ala. —More than three thousand fans saw Tuskegee make a great finish here Saturday in the Alumni Bow in the closing minutes of play in the fourth quarter to win the opening game of the season from LeMoyne College of Memphis by a score of 12 to 7. In spite of this muddy field, the "New Deal" team of Coach Abbott showed up very well. Only four veterans were in the line-up of the Golden Tigers to face the powerful opposition put up by the LeMoyne Yellow Jackets. In spite of the unusual early season fumbles and penalties, the game was well played. The visitors led from the second quarter until the closing minutes of play, when a series of ball plunges and a penalty placed the ball on LeMoyne's fifteen-yard line. Waterford Higgins and Mobley alternated the ball to the one-yard line where Smith Thompson went, over for the second and winning touchdown for Tuskegee. PITTSBURGH NINES VICTORIOUS IN DOUBLE-BILL Crawfords Trounce Stars Grays Stop Yankees Before 7,500 D.C. Fans By the Sports Editor It was all Pittsburgh at Griffith Stadium last Sunday afternoon when the teams led by those two master strategians, Oscar Charlesland and Cum Posey walked off with the honors of the 4-team doubleheader staged for the benefit of Washingtonians in general, but which was taken advantage of by a meagre 7,500. The Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Homestead Grays, just like that, turned back the Philadelphia Stars and the New York Black Yankees just like that, 6-1 and 5-3, just like that. The opening game, widely advertised as a "sure thing" duel between the redoubtable Satchell Paige and the up-and-coming Country Jones, proved somewhat of a disappointment to the fans. Paige, along with Bill Morney, Jim Bell, Jimmy Crutchfield and one or two other lesser lights, did not even make the trip with the Crawfords. And Manager Webster McDonald wisely elected himself to the role of moundsman for the Stars. Pitchers' Duel Although it can never be expected that a bassball fan will be satisfied with anything less than that for which he primarily came to a game, one may rest assured that for the first 6 innings of that initial go, McDonald and Lefty Matlock staged as pretty a mound battle as could be wanted from any two baseball-togged humans. It was not until the seventh that the one-siderness of the affair began to assert itself. That was after the voluntary retirement of McDonald in favor of Jones. The Crawfords lambasted the lanky ex-Baltimore portsider with every slither of the wood in their bat-bag. Same Old Posey In the nightcup, Posey uncovered a thitherto unknown slab artist, named Brown, who had everything any of the pitchers in the big time could want. The portly Gray right-hander mixed a sizzling fast ball with a tantalizing change of pace and an elusive curve to keep the Yankees batters completely buffled. That is, all but Bugs Spearman. Spearman collected a triple, double and single, just like that, in his three trips to the plate.

MURRAY The Stuff is Here So help me the rage is on. Our school boys are becoming just plain ole juice warts. A new joint started up around several well known community houses last week. This is due to the fact that our blooming rum heads are becoming more and more juice conscious every day. They have a supply of that dish pan hootch that so influenced our citizenry during the blockade days of prohibition. It seems as though theye young buds are so used to the rot gut stuff that the good stuff lays 'em out. And it's so economical for the boys too. Just ten cents a clukker.

Tiny Bradshaw Youngest Mastero on the Stage By Morris Murray From just a plain college student to the most popular band leader of today is the life story so far of Tiny Bradshaw, who is playing at the Howard this week. I was given the privilege after seeing two shows, of interviewing this noted band leader. Wednesday evening. As I reached the stage entrance I was escorted to Tiny's dressing room by one of the stage hands. Upon entering I was greeted by his valet who carried me straight to the master. As soon as he saw me he greeted me by saying, "What you know, gates?" (popular expression of his). His valet in the meantime was hanging up one of his five flannel cream full dress suits. Just five. Then we sat down and talked about how he began his career. Tiny told me he always wanted to go on the stage, and he made up his mind that he would make it his life's work. His first real chance to prove himself was with the Millie Blue Rythm Band where he played traps. Tiny's real place wasn't behind traps; he was a star within his own right, and it was no more than his duty to take the spot for himself. Tiny stated that his experience with the Blue Rythm Band and Louis Russell had taught him enough to make him feel that he was able to have a band of his own. Tiny said that he is fond of children. His favorite city is Washington. He is working with one of the biggest booking agents in the country and has broken box office records in several northern cities. Tiny is a regular guy. He is plain and loves to joke and have a gay time. Not like most band leaders in that they think they are superior to their audiences. Tiny turns the theatre into one big family circle. He went on further to say that he will be back in Washington soon to play at a local dance hall on October 24. From here he will join the Mills Brothers and make a tour of the south and return to THE MOUTHPIECE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6, 1934 Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb --- the Regal Theatre in Chicago. Tiny told me that he has a new song hit coming out soon intitled, "You Don't Have to Be Rich or Poor Just Mellow". Tiny believes the song will be as popular as his old "Nacky-Sacky." That's saying plenty. Mr. Bradshaw is married and has two children whom he loves very dearly. Besides having the honor of being the youngest band leader on the stage today he is also considered to have the most personality of any band leader known. MILLS BROS. MEET ST. LOUIS BAN Internationally Famous Radio Quartet Barred from Baseball Game ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Special to ANP)—Sunday afternoon when the Mills Brothers tried to see the Pennant Winning Baseball Game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds at the Sportsman's Park here, they were just "all wrong."

By PLACIDE WASHINGTON and THELMA KING This is Placide and Thelma your old society editor bringing you the latest news about. Pauline party at the W.W.C.A. The lights were nice, the girls were slim, and the way they were dressed was too bad Jim. (Quotation from none other than Morris Murray). Last Friday was an evening of laughter and joy at the W.Y.C.A., where the ever popular Pauline Murray daughter of Mr. Nat. Murray, of Armstrong, entertained a party of friends. Everybody was dressed to perfection and organdy seems to have been the fad. Our charming hostess, Miss Pauline Murray, was dressed in a blue organdy also the lovely ladies: Virginia Quivers, Regina Moss and Bernadine Snowden seem to like blue organdy too. But the most popular color seemed to have been pink, as I happened to glance around, I saw that cute little Phyllis Balley, Georgia Brown and the sophisticated Elizabeth Haley were dressed in pink lace. Camare Thomas Ora Dowling and Lucretia Matthews looked very, very sweet in their pink organdies. Dots and plaids are quite popular this season from the looks of things at Pauline. Adelaide Cromwell and Patricia Stewart seemed to have preferred green plaid; Alicia Lambre, Mary Dowling, Frances Pinkett, Clara Gibbs, La Verne Johnson and Grace Sears seem to like red dots and plaids. Marjorie Philips Mildred Thursday tom Doris Diggs, Alice Latney and Marjorie Weeb looked simply gorgeous in their salmon pink crepes and georgettes. Thelma King, the cute little tap dancer, Yvonne Mitchell and Louise Blackburn looked stunning in their yellow nets and organdies. Norma Pinkney, Margarite Pearson Lillian Adams seem to prefer pink and green mussoline de soire, very charming. Mary Frances, little popular sophisticate at Dunbar, was there looking very sweet in pink Taffetta, also cute little Pauline Hart Louise Laye, Elaine Mosely, Lillian Garland, Edna Thomas looked very stunning in green taffetas and green dotted organdies. Marjorie Rutherford and Louise Washington seem to prefer brown plaid and they certainly know how to pick dresses. Pauline Broughton, the cute little toe and tap dancer, looked sweet in her brown dotted organdy. M. N.—My husband and I don't get along so well together. We warm and make money and he goes and puts it in the bank and tells the banker not to tell me how much we got and I don't like this way of doing. What to do about this please? Ans.: I do not believe your husband means harm by acting as he does about the finances in your household but he is rather the OLD FASHIONED type of man; to be head of his own family and give all the orders and look after all business. After all he a good husband otherwise. A. M.—Will it be any use for me to try to go to school this winter? Ans.: You will receive a job and go to work. I don't see you finishing your education in day school. In about two years I believe you will take a course in night school and finish up your studies at that time. S. W.—Does my boy friend leve me enough to marry me? Ans.: Marrying you has never entered this man's head. That is just the reason he let you lose trace of him through writing for he knew that you had more serious intentions than he did. Do not chase after your friends but let them do the chasing. G. S.—Will we ever pay for our home? Ans: Yes, and you will also be able to build a new home within the next five years. This home will be furnished throughout just as you have planned for quite a while. I C—How can I explain to my husband what I did with his money and make him believe in me? Will I ever be able to get it back? I can't eat or sleep. Ans: Your husband will be rather pleased when you explain to him that a man came to your door and gained your confidence and then fled with his money. He does not know, however, that you will be truthful about the whole affair whether it hurts or not. He will forgive you but be careful whom you let your finances be known to. Gerald Wilson was there strutting around in her peach organdy, and did she give the boys an eyafull in fact there wasn't a wallflower in the crowd. With all these lovely ladies, how could there be? The sweet and stunning toe dancer, Therrell Smith, was present and she wore a very cute orchid organdy gown, Dorothy Clark, Dorothea Dabney, Mabel Jones Vivian Burton, Carolyn Ramssey, Ruth Lightfoot, Helen Snowden and Ernesting Bonar looked strictly sharp in their white organdies and taffetas. Helen Vanderhoop looked very nice in her flowered organdy. We had two sweet looking guests, Mable Bonar who was dressed in yellow taffetta and Constance Murray who was dressed in green georgette crepe. There is no need to tell what the boys had on.

Ans.: No not always, for suffer a while you will convince yourself that you can't get well until you do as you should and let your doctor treat you. The RHEUMA-TISM that you are suffering with in your limbs, will continue until the cause is removed. E. S.—I want to know if either of the young men I met mean anything to me?

Students Overcrowd New Orleans Schools NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP)—Serious problems are being caused because of the increase of Negro pupils in New Orleans public schools, according to Nicholas Bauer, superintendent. New Orleans has no high schools. Because of the great number of enrollments, particularly among pupils of the lower grades that the first three grades in the colored elementary schools are working on half-day shifts and the possibility that a similar system may be employed for the children in the fourth grades is imminent. Thomy Lafon, the largest elementary school in the world, is a colored New Orleans institution. It has a student enrollment of 4,000. It comes under supervision of the city system. S. J.

TWO SAYS INTERIOR HEADS TRYING TO "COVER" JIM CROW Miss McRae Says Her Resignation Was Protest Against Segregation Colored people will not be missed by Interior Department officials endeavoring to cover their policy of segregation by a tirade of abusive epithets aimed at anyone who states the truth about their administration of the Department, Miss Gretchen McRae stated this week. "It is strange Dr. Foreman cannot find segregation in the Department when his own job as adviser on Negro affairs is the epitome of that policy. His job isolates and segregates the affairs of colored people under his supervision, which adds segregation in administration and supervision to that segregation which colored employees already suffer in placement." And yet Dr. Foreman denies his segregation policy. Not Proper. Denial "Here is a question all colored people should consider. If Dr. Foreman does not know what kind of job he himself has, how can he properly advise other people? These perfunctory denials issued by officials do not disprove the charges, and what he says is not even a proper denial. "But his action in establishing segregation in the Department is indefensible even if he confesses he does not know segregation when he sees it. And I am doubly justified in taking the case of my protest away from him in a letter to the Secretary, which states that Dr. Foreman "would not be a proper judge of a case against himself and the policy he advocates." Fight Not Personal "Dr. Foreman's effort to give the false impression that the fight against segregation was personal is disproved by the records in the Department by my resignation which states in part: "I hereby tender my resignation as senior stenographer in the General Land Office as a protest against the crushing conditions to which colored employees are subjected in this department and in the government." "My resignation was accepted without prejudice and was handed in after officials pretended to break up segregation in connection with my job, but left my colleagues who fought with me segregated. I protested with my resignation, and I intended that resignation, and the record left by our long struggle to gain equality in the Department, to protect the employees from further segregation efforts by the officials. Foreman Ignores Facts "But facts and records, mean nothing to the 'omniscent' Dr. Foreman. For while he has read that record of the historic struggle of colored employees which was carried throughout the country by the late Editor William Monroe Trotter, and the late Prof. Neval H. Thomas, Dr. Foreman is defiantly trying to return the policy which these champions of liberty worked so untiringly to abolish. "At that time Dr. Foreman would not have dared the attempt to establish his supervision and guardianship over Negro politicians and college professors, who now are apparently lulled into an unaware state by a segregated job while Dr. Foreman mulls over the "status of the Negro," ignoring the fact that he lowers said status by this system of segregated set-ups. Slaps So-called Leaders "Surprisingly some of the so-called intelligentsia are still found complacently following him down the Indian trail to isolation and extinction, and moreover, beckoning the masses of colored people to do likewise. "They forget that the masses of plain people often have almost uncanny ability in detecting the weaknesses and duplicity of their leaders, and when guided by their own sincerity and simplicity, they are able to render remarkable decisions in favor of Justice."

AMBULANCES NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Call JARVIS FUNERAL CHURCH 1432 U Street. N.W. North 3815 Logan Foresees Struggle Over Control of Haitian Finances Next step in the struggle of Haiti for self control will involve the management of the government finances, Rayford W. Logan, professor of history at Atlanta University, who spent his summer in the Haitian Republic declared in a talk this week at Morehouse College. Mr. Logan was an eye witness to the withdrawal of the United States Marines after a stay of 19 years on the island, and had opportunity to talk at length wita President Stenio Vincent, regarding the situation in Haiti. The coming struggle involves four factors: the National City Company of New York, which the government of Haiti owes $11,000-000; the Bank of Haiti which is now owned and controlled by the National City Company; the President and people of Haiti, and, finally, the United States government, which still maintains an American financial representative there in the person of Mr. DeLarne, a resident of Louisiana. It is now proposed, Professor Logan explained, that the United States relinquish its financial control and that this control, be placed in the hands of the Bank of Haiti, which under the plan would be sold by the National City Company to the government of Haiti. The bank under this plan would be governed by a board of six, two Haitians appointed by the President of Haiti, two Americans selected by the President from a panel of five persons to be submitted by the National City Company, and two to be selected by the President from a panel submitted by the foreign bondholders' protective REHOBOTH BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR MAY BE OUSTED Now Conditionally Resigned, Rev.E. M. Tyre May be Definitely Out Friday (Continued from page 1) until some agreement on the terms of the resignation can be reached. This, presumably, will be done Friday night. To Air Charges Several members of the congregation told the Tribune that some charges against the minister would be aired in the meeting Friday. They declined to name the specific charges however. The Rev. Mr. Elmo, assistant pastor at the Rehoboth Church, who has been in charge of services this month also declared that a definite decision on the Rev. Mr. Tyre's position would be reached at the coming meeting. He stated that there were no charges against the former Norfolk pastor according to his knowledge. He added, however that he had not attended any of the church meetings lately. Third Pastor The Rev. Mr. Tyre is the third pastor of the Rehoboth Church. The first the Rev. John Richards, one of the church founders, was ousted several years back and together with a group of members organized the Second Baptist Church of Southwest. He now serves as pastor emeritus of the latter church. The Rev. Elipah Coleman, now deceased, succeeded the Rev. Mr. Richards and the Rev. Mr. Tyre was called to the pastorate following the Rev. Mr. Coleman's death. Since leaving the Rehoboth Church, the Rev. Mr. Tyre has been preaching at the Mount Shiloh Mission. Lawson Added to Legal Staff of Alpha Frat Early this week, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, president, and Attorney Theodore M. Berry, general counsel of Alpha Phi Alpha, announced an addition to the legal staff of the fraternity. The appointee is Attorney Belford V. Lawson, Jr. of this city. He will have supervision of certain legal matters in the east relative to the program of the Education Foundation. Attorney Lawson is engaged in practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia. He is one of the legal staff of the Washington Branch of the N.A.A.C.P, and the New Negro Alliance Bastrop Lynch Probe Yields Nothing BASTROP, La. (ANP) — The Mosehore parish grand jury here last Monday returned no indictments after questioning several witnesses in the case of the recent lynching of a colored man charged with attempted criminal assault on a white girl. The report of the grand jury was made after it had been in session for a full week, the longest time a grand jury had sat in this parish for many years. The investigation into the lynching was purely a matter of formality. Negro residents of this section report that little evidence was placed before the jury and said if any had doubt would have been entertained if no proper action would have been taken. council. National Supervision Preferred to Private Mr. Logan contends that control by the American government is less objectionable than control by representatives of private individuals. He believes with many other friends of Haiti in the United States that they can present these views to the American State Department and get favorable attention. "How do I account for this change?" he asked. Answering his own question, he stated: "In 1926 the officers in command of the island were largely Southern white men. Today officers are largely men who have come from the Northern and Western states. The Southern officers made the mistake of supposing the Haitians would be as docile as the Southern Negro. They forgot that Haiti had fought for 13 years to win their independence, and through their own efforts had brought the one republic in the Western hemisphere where the black man was to be free." The two men swho more than any other brought conditions in Haiti to the attention of the outside world were men whose names would be forever associated with Atlanta University-James Weldon Johnson, of the Class of 1894, who through his articles in the Nation first reported on oppression of the Haitians under American control and Professor W. E. B. DuBois, who by his writings in the Crisis focussed the attention of the American Negroes and their friends on the conditions in the island republic. POLICE SEEK MAN IN "FLOWER-BED" DAMAGE THREATS Unusual Case Brought to Attention of Second Precinct Police Police of the Second Precinct are conducting a search for the party who has written three notes of 'warning' to William A. Vaughn 1634 Third Street, Northwest, threatenning him with further entailments if he fails to come up with the "lay-off" fee of one dollar. Vaughn reported to police. Tuesday, the last day he was to have been favored by the alleged blackmailer, that he had received what his unknown assailant termed his "last chance." A note was received by him threatening him with the inconveniences that might travel hand-in-hand with destruction of his flower-bed. And Vaughn is proud of his flower-bed. According to the story of Vaughn he received the first of the "warnings" late last week at the same time he found several of his plants torn up by the roots. The second note was on hand when he discovered that a galvanized pail and a mop had been removed from the rear porch of his home. Vaughn appeals to police upon receipt of the third note, which reads as follows: "You have takin your last chance. Leave a dollar or your whole plant and box will be gone. I am unemployed." Police will learn the identity of the culprit without much delay. Their only clew at the time, however, is a presence of a notation, "Bonus Camp, Altoona, Pa," on the back of the third "warning." Pro-Parker Vote Still Dogs Senator Hatfield NEW YORK.—Although four years have elapsed since U. S. Senator Hatfield of West Virginia voted for the confirmation of Judge Parker to the U. S. Supreme Court over the objections of his Negro constituents, his action still dogs his political footsteps. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just received a letter from Rivers C. Jones, secretary of Local Union No. 6004. United Mine Workers of America, Glen Rogers, W. Va., asking for information on Senator Hatfield's vote in the Parker fight. The letter states that Hatfield "is at present trying to be reelected and is passing as a great friend of labor; also of the Negro race and we want to know what his true feeling toward the Negro is." Company Formed to Run Bus Line in Haiti NEW YORK, (ANP)—The Utilities D' Haiti Company recently formed to conduct a transportation system by operating a bus company in Haiti has opened offices at 2143 Seventh Avenue. This step is said to mark the first entrance of American Negroes in the business field. The company which has been organized with a reported capital of $150,000 has obtained a franchise to operate a bus line in the city of Post-an-Prince, the seat of the capitol of the country, and other important towns and cities of Haiti. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 13, 1934 TELLS TORTURES OF GA. PRISON TELLS TORTURES OF GA. PRISON (Continued from: page 1 ) the workers." When he was taken to jail and placed in a cell, an old man was his cell mate. This man was ill from starvation and lack of medical attention, he said. The second day the man died and the body remained in the cell a day and a night before it was removed despite the fact that the officers knew of his death. This was done "to break my spirit," Herndon said. Wanted to Kill Him The death penalty was demanded for him at first, but the jury "in mercy" recommended the long sentence on the chain gang. Even able bodied men can hardly survive the vicious tortures of the chain gang for a year and a delicate youth like Herndon would hardly live a month. The sentence was worse than death. He stated that he almost died of starvation while in jail and time and again police came to him and placed pistols against his body and threatened to shoot him. Once he was placed in the death cell with several condemned men. Then he was taken to a room and shown a coffin and skulls and bones of dead persons. Every form of medieval torture was used in an attemt to make him "tell who the white man" was. Organized Marchers Herndon stated that he alone organized the group of colored and white men and women who demanded relief from the city authorities. This group marched to the city hall in Atlanta with protests against failure of the city to provide food for unemployed people. This was the "crime" for which he received the sentence. Mrs. Norris related the story of the life of her son who left home nearly four years ago seeking work. The first knowledge she had of her son's predicament was when a neighbor told her of having read in a newspaper where the Norris boy with several others had been arrested and sentenced to death for the alleged attack on two white women. Is Challenge to Workers Richard B. Moore, national organizer of the I.L.D. and candidate for associate judge for the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, outlined the history of the Scottsboro case and stated that the fourth "lynch verdict" of the Alabama court is a challenge that must be met by the workers of the country. Following the meeting resolutions were sent to President Roosevelt demanding the release of Tom Mooney, the Scottsboro boys and Herndon. Similar resolutions were sent to the governors of Alabama, Georgia and California, and to Adolphe Hitter in Germany demanding the release of anti-Facist prisoners in that country. Other speakers who brought greetings from their organizations were Willie Strong, representing the Young Communist League; James Eaton, the Workers' Ex-service Men's League; Lewis Williams, International Labor Defense; Gertrude Throne, Unemployment Council; Harold Spencer, Communist Party and M. Shinberg, International Workers Order. Mrs. Norris was introduced by Mrs. Sophia Ross a members of the ILD. Pickets Demand Color Ban in Labor Movement SAN FRANCISCO.— Hundreds of labor delegates entering the convention hall of the American Federation of Labor were astounded to find the entrance picketed by members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People carrying huge placards denouncing the jim crow policies of organized labor. This dramatic action, unprecedented in the history of A. F. of L.conventions aroused wide comment and became the topic of discussion inside and outside of the auditorium. The picketers, colored men and women connected with the San Francisco branch of the association were led by Attorney Le兰 S. Hawkins the branch president.

OPENING OF NEW PLACES CHEERS LOCAL NEGROES OPENING OF NEW PLACES CHEERS LOCAL NEGROES Promise of Nearly 27,000 Vacancies Elates Eligible Colored Unemployed Unemployed Negroes with Civil Service status were somewhat cheered late this week by the announcement of a possibility of the opening of 1,800 jobs to persons with such an identification by officials of the Census Bureau. These jobs, all of which will be given on a temporary basis, will be available with the beginning of the 1935 census of agriculture. Still others boasting of "influence" were elated over a similar announcement that field jobs to the number of 25,000 will be filled by persons now on relief rolls, or passed out as patronage by Senators and Representatives. The Census Bureau positions, however, will be filled only by those persons whose names appear on the Civil Service Commission's list of eligibles.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL JURY CONVICTS CHI DEFENDER BEATTY SLAYER FOUGHT BY UNION (Continued from page 1) Street, Northwest, was the witness subpoenaed at the eleventh hour by the prosecution. She testified that she saw "a woman with redish, sandy hair" peeking through the rear fence of the Beatty residence at 4 o'clock on the morning of the murder. It was this statement that led away from the defense contention that Mrs. Harris had gone to the Fourteenth Street house in the company of Beatty and his wife. The credibility of the testimony of Frank Williams, another of the chief government witnesses, was attacked by Attorney Icenhower in his closing remarks. His inference that William's story was arranged so as to "make it hard" for the defendant so that he Williams could continue an illicit relationship with Mrs. Beatty was challenged by Prosecutor Goldstein, but nevertheless got into the record. It was at this point that grimaces found their ways to the faces of many of the spectators in the crowded courtroom. Already the trial had been replete with stories of indecent conduct on the part of the slain and the slayer, and with the involvement of the widow of the slain, expressions of awe and bewilderment forced their presence into the countenances of listeners. Heard Threats Testimony in support of the claim that Williams had planned to "see Carlotta do a stretch" was offered by a waitress at the Progressive Democratic Club 612 T Street, Northwest, where he and Mrs. Beatty operate a cafe business. Williams is said by the woman to have made a statement the evening prior to the opening of the trial which involved a determination to convict the girl-slayer. The shooting, it was agreed by witnesses for both sides came as the culmination of an affair between Beatty and Mrs. Harris. The altercation in the Fourteenth Street apartment followed an argument over the threatened termination of the courtship by Beatty. Numerous beatings, the defense however held out, were recalled to the mind of Mrs. Harris when Beatty allegedly advanced on her with an upraised stick. She shot, counsel argued with fear as the motive. in Chicago. Colored men could not be employed in the shop of the newspaper yet the entire subscription list was made up of Negroes. This not only proved embarrassing to the publisher but other colored papers were pointing out the fact that The Defender did not employ colored workers. Mr. Abbott denies that he had any controversy with the union, but says the change was made solely for economic reasons. He also stated that he would be forced to close the plant unless he hired colored. Pressure was being brought to bear and readers were complaining that hundreds of colored men were out of work while white men stood a better chance of getting employment. Attorney Scott pointed out to the board here that none of the white papers employed colored men in their plants. He said Mr. Abbott had no fight with the union, but since the union did not take colored members he had to make his shop open. It was also said that a nephew of the publisher was employed in the shop and the union refused him a card despite the fact that he had made a request for one several times. The case of Ethel Waters was cited to the board where the noted singer was forced off the air when southerners objected to her on an oil program. Three colored men were employed in the shop before the change. These were also dismissed with the whites, but one youth, Vernon Pilky, an apprentice was rehired and a week later dismissed when it was alleged he was a spy for the union. The charges against the Defender were brought by the Chicago Typographical Union, Chicago Mailers Union, Chicago Web Pressmen's Union and the Chicago Stereotypist Union. They demand re-employment in the plant. In his brief Mr. Abbott states that "the personnel of the Chicago Defender was changed for the purpose of keeping the doors of the institution open and to allay, if possible, the outside attacks consequent upon the setup prior to June 16 1934." The board took the case under advisement. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL IS $13 A FAIR MONTH'S WAGE FOR A SERVANT? Answer to Question by 217 Directors by U. S. Labor Bulletin What constitutes a fair week's work and a fair week's wage for household employees? Answers to this question by 217 directors responsible for the placement of each employee are contained in a recent bulletin issued by the Women's Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor, and written by Marie Correll. These directors were connected with varied kinds of organizations, including colleges, universities, secondary schools, Y.W.C.A. and other social agencies, State and public employment agencies and a few fee-charging agencies 1,400,000 Servants In a preliminary statement the bulletin points out that the work conditions of the Nation's over 1,400,000 women "servants" have been solely dependent upon and have varied with the wishes and demands of countless, individual employers. As a result hours have been long and irregular and there has been little relation between the work done and the wages paid or the living conditions offered. Of the 217 replies received, only 15 agencies in 10 States reported standards for placing women over 21 years of age and 19 agencies in 10 States reported standards for young workers 21 or under. In addition, 43 colleges and universities gave usable information about standards for girls who take household jobs to help work their way through college. Minimum Wages A minimum wage was set by most of the standards for full-time workers, both adult and junior. For adult workers this commonly ranged from $13 to $40 a month, with board and room furnished the employee in most cases. Hourly rates ordinarily varied from 35 to 50 cents. Other provisions frequently occurring were definite specifications as to the amount of time the worker should have off, the payment of carfare if the worker does not live in, and the furnishing of a private room if she does stay at the home of her employer. Part-time Workers For full-time adult workers a definite limit to the hours of work expected, is included in only two sets of standards. For part-time workers, however, the standards deal with the number of hours of work since they generally apply to girls working in return for their board and room. In most of the standards set for collage students 21 to 28 hours of work in a week is considered equivalent to board and room. Between 21 and 28 hours is set by 7 of the 9 placement agencies for girls attending secondary schools, and several require in addition a cash payment of about $10 a month.

Streets are crowded every morning and afternoon with hundreds going to and from school. More hundreds are packing the night schools of the city. Youngsters, middle-aged and even old men and women are seeking entrance to the various evening schools of the District. Enrollments in practically every school have reached new high levels. Hundreds are being turned away for lack of accommodations in the evening classes. Great things are promised by the sponsors and those engaged in teaching the new character education experiment. There is hardly a family in the city In which one or more of its members are not engaged in school work directly or indirectly. Freshman classes in the college and university are larger than ever before. Such a thirst for knowledge has never before been seen in the city. Young men and women who find it impossible to continue day schools are entering evening classes in order to complete their training. In the face of this the District has the largest tuberculosis death rate among Negroes in the country. The slums and alleys are the worst, and the numbers gamblers flourish here in defiance of police and officials. Negro workers are better off here and are better paid than in any other city, yet there are fewer Negro businesses in Washington than in many small towns in the South. The percentage of crime is higher in the thickly settled Northwest Negro district (No. 2 Precinct) than in any other section. Let's hope the new character education will eliminate some of these evils since the former system certainly hasn't measured up to the task. Negroes on Relief Here Harry L. Hopkins, administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief, admitted this week that despite the fact that his office uses every precaution to get its figures correct, a "bull" was pulled last week when a release stated that there were 30,000 Negro families on relief here. What Mr. Hopkins intended to state was that there were 30,000 Negroes on relief in the District, and 18,000 families. Even with the later figures we doubt whether Mr. Hopkins' office is accurate. At least his figures do not agree with those of Leroy Hubert, of the Emergency Relief Bureau here. Mr. Hubert stated in his last report that Negroes on relief in the District numbered 23,000. There is too wide a discrepancy in the figures of these two officials to believe either. They should at least consult one another before giving information to the public. Three Worthy Institutions Three worthy local projects will ask for Washington's support this week when the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association and the Harriet Tubman Aid for the Blind will appeal for funds to carry on the work of their respective institutions. The Young Men's and the Young Women's Christian Associations are well known for their work in the community and the help being rendered to young men and women here as well as hundreds of others who come to the city without friends or funds. Each institution maintains its own summer camp. These two activities alone are well worth while and are of inestimable value to the community. The fall and winter programs of these two institutions also prove to be of equal value by providing places where adolescent boys and girls may go for amusement as well as instruction during the evening. Both institutions are capably managed and directed, the Young Men's by Major Campbell C. Johnson and the Young Women's by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton. Miss Harriet Hunter is well known here, but few know of the work she is doing in caring for the unfortunate who have been deprived of their sight. The group is faced with eviction from their small home on Eleventh Street. Despite the hardships of the last years of depression Miss Hunter has carried on and managed to keep the doors of the home open. Now she is faced with a crisis and is asking the support of the Next Campaign Will not Consider the Negro as A Potential Issue Fire-eating Negro haters have been forced from the political arena, Tillman, Vardaman, Tom Watson, Hardwick and Jeff Davis, the lesser among the dead, and Heflin and Blease among the living, have ceased their ravings for there is nothing for it to feed on. For the first time since emancipation we are engaged upon a national campaign where the race issue does not figure as a partizan feature. Negro spellbinders of the traditional type, will be hard put to ing in the race question for partizan purposes. Roosevelt, by one swell stroke, has effectively eliminated this issue as a bone of contention between the two chief parties, from Reconstruction days until now. The New Deal holds the center of the political stage. The voters are called upon to decide between the Old Deal of Hoover and the New Deal of Roosevelt without regard to race or color, sex or section. Both sectional and racial lines have been obliterated. There is neither North nor South white nor black. Both the solid South and the solid Negro vote are things of the past, so far as political issues are concerned. The voter is asked to decide whether he believes in the liberty of the rugged individual to make more money and accumulate more millions or the right of the forgotten man of milder and less rugged individuality to make living for himself and family. The Negro is destined to be the greatest beneficiary of the New Deal, if fairly administered and therefore should be its greatest advocate and defender. SELF-STYLED FRIENDS DRAMATIZED FRIENDSHIP In former campaigns self-called friends of the Negro dramatized their friendship while his political enemies exploited their hostility—the former in order that he might secure his vote, the latter to arouse and consolidate his constituents. But neither friend nor foe finds any function in the pending campaign. No longer is there any waving of the bloody shirt across the section line for political effect. At the same time fire-eating Negro haters have been forced from the political arena. Tillman, Vardamann, Tom Watson, Hardwick and Jeff Davis the lesser, among the dead, and Heflin and Blease among the living, have ceased their ravings for there is nothing for it to feed on. In the North and West where the Negro votes, both parties are equally anxious to woo his vote. In the South where the mass of the race resides and where the Negro's political power is in the potential state, both parties are equally disregardful of his claims. Like Hancock's tariff, the Negro problem, in its political aspect, has become a local issue. A Hibernian wit of the Tammany school of political philosophy, once set the nation smiling over the aphoristic query? "What is the Constitution between friends?" The North and South, East and West Democrats and Republicans, have agreed that the Thirteenth Amendment is to be observed in its integrity. But the Fourteenth and Fifteenth are to be observed where only they meet with local favor and ignored or annulled where local sentiment makes their enforcement troublesome. Nothing will alter this firm attitude short of a change of the white man's psychology. ROOSEVELT REGIME HAS BEEN TOLERANT During the debate in the Senate on the Anti-Lynching Bill, Senator Underwood, of Alabama stated that white men would not seriously fall out over the Negro. There was no dissent from this dictum on either side of the Senate nor in either political camp. The fuss and furor of the Negro about the present day Republican Party enforcing these Civil War Amendments, may indeed be necessary to assert a principle and keep alive and alert his flagging spirit but they are likely to have no more effect upon results than the hooting of the midnight owl that does to the moon complain. Someone has defined a pessimist as one who has followed the advice of the optimist. This applies on all fours to the deluded enthusiasts who still expect that the Republican Party is likely ever to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The margin between the two parties has been reduced to a meaningless margin by recent and current political happenings. President Roosevelt has selected more colored men for important governmental assignments than did Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, his three immediate Republican predecessors. These positions were not merely political seizures but demand efficient and expert service in important governmental function. During the last session of Congress there was not one hostile or ungenerous word against the Negro Congressman DrePriest has acknowledged that he found ready and willing cooperation on both sides of the party fence for every constructive measure which he proposed for the betterment and welfare of his race. THE ADMINISTRATION SANCTIONS DEPRIEST'S OPPONENT To still further emphasize the absence of the partisan attitude on the race question, the Democrats have nominated a Negro Democrat, in the First Illinois District to contend with Oscar DePriest for congressional honors. Post Master General Farley, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, has added the sanction of the party by approving the nomination, and proffering such help as his high position might enable him to render. In a previous release I have stated why, in my view, the race should prefer the elder statesman, but not because of his partisan affiliation. Both sides will appeal to the Negro vote where his franchise is effective; neither will bother itself with his abstract right where it is not. Let the Negro, then enter the campaign, freed from the bondage of partisan allegiance, and cast his vote on the only issue before the electorate—the merits or defects of the New Deal. We read some funny headlines in some week- lies. For instance, a paper had last week: "Prof. Wilson Gets the Third Degree." Another was, "Man Shot—His Death Exaggerated." Another was, "For Sale, a Piano by a Lady with Carved Legs." A woman doesn't know what she can do till she cries. these worthy institutions. Washington cannot afford to do less than its duty to curb these worthy causes.

REEVES America the Redress of the World The Muse, disgusted at an age and clime, Barren of every glorious theme. In distant lands now waits a better time, Producing subjects worthy fame. In happy climes, where from the genial sun And virgin earth such scenes ensue The force of art by nature seems outdone, And fancied beauties by the true. In happy climes the seat of innocence, Where nature guides and virtue rules. Where men shall not impose for truth and sense, The pedantry of courts and schools. There shall be sung another golden age, The rise of empire and of arts The good and great inspiring epic rage, The wisest heads and noblest hearts. Not such as Europe breeds in her decay; Such as she bred when free and young, When heavenly flame did animate her clay, By future poets shall be sung. A fifth shall close the drama with the day; Time's noblest offspring is the last. Prospect of Planting Arts and Learning in America by Bishop Berkeley in 1735.

Other Papers Say THE FUNCTION OF THE NEWSPAPER The paramount duty of a newspaper is, as its name implies, to furnish the news on paper. But it also, in commenting upon the news, must express such ideas, comments and criticisms that go a long ways toward the formation and molding of public opinion. This public opinion is the greatest force in any government and no laws can be enforced that run contrary to it; therefore, whatever force can form public opinion is a most powerful agency in every respect. Through more than all else, the newspaper is, through its advertising department a link between the merchant and the consumer and the greatest service that any paper can render to its readers is to convey to their minds noble sentiments and lofty ideals and to infuse into them a spirit of hope, and this should always be done in chaste and proper language. The greatest fault of the Negro newspaper is its use of slang words and of words that have no precise meaning as they use them. For instance, some of our leading national weeklies not only use such slang words as "sepia" for black, "ofay" for white and the word "race" for Negro—as if Negroes constituted the only race on earth. We read of "Race man," "Race woman," "Race singers," "Race dancers." According to this use of the word, a race horse must be black, a rack track is a Negro track. The colored papers forever sing the blues and the newspaper is to the Negro a veritable wailing wall. It carries no word to inspire and energize the youth of the land. All great questions that challenge the best thought of other men, is subordinated to the dominating idea of weeping over jim crowism, segregation and discrimination. Other people have suffered more than we and very little complaint do they make, while our papers are always full of what the white man is doing to us and what he won't let us do. These papers go into our homes and have a great educational effect upon our young people. They should be models of English composition, devoid of filth and replete with an optimistic spirit. It seems that no question can be so great as to make the Negro even for a moment forget himself. His harp is forever hung upon a weeping willow. The ancient Greeks taught their children that their ancestors were all gods, demi-gods and Hermes. The Negro newspaper teach that, in spite of all that is known of Negro achievement, we are nobody and there is no hope in the future—no pride in the past and nothing left for us to do but go on bewailing our fate and singing diges. FIGHT OR FLOAT—WHICH? Richmond (Va.) Planet Exceedingly interesting is the article written by H. L. Mencken for the October number of the 'Crisis' Magazine, a resume of which was recently published in these columns. Mr. Mencken draws a fine distinction between Negro leaders whom he classified into two schools, viz. dreamers and realists, and expresses the rather pessimistic opinion that the method of neither group will prevail in bringing to the American Negro his full constitutional rights. A little more hopeful, however, is the closing paragraph of the article which reads as follows: "The Negro like the rest of us, has his choice and his chance. If he floats with the prevailing tide such rights as he still has will follow those that he has already lost, and he will end with none at all. But if he throws himself wholeheartedly into this battle for the recovery of liberties in general, then he will be in a fair way, soon or late, to get back those rights that he craves and esteems especially." Which probably means that Mr. Mencken advises both schools of thought to join hands and fight rather than to float if the race is to escape outright slavery. A mechanic's lien is a claim by merchanies or material men on buildings for labor or material supplied. Summiary laws are those which limit the amount to be spent on luxuries, or which fix wages or the price of commodities. 206 R. Capitol St. William Pickens's Observations "Nazi" Jews More than a year ago when Hitlerites launched their attack on the legal rights of Jews we wrote through The Associated Negro Press an editorial commending the unanimity with which Jews rallied all over the United States to the defense of the German Jew; thereupon Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, leading American Jew, wrote us his thanks, but called our attention to the strange fact that Jews are not united, not even against this extreme enemy. While a far greater percentage of Jews than of Negroes stick together in a common fight for their racial rights, some in both groups for personal and individual advantage or because of their peculiar situation, refuse to "join up." There is a group of Jews in Germany, chiefly in Berlin, which calls itself the "League of National German Jews," and who are trying as hard to court the favor of Hitler and his terrible gang, as ever Negroes in any part of the south ever tried to court the favors of local Negro-haters. They call themselves "National Jews," which means "Nazi Jews." They advised their race to vote for Hitler in the sham election of August 19; and they attacked the Jewish meeting in Geneva as "unwise," and assailed the boycott planned against German goods. While the great Rabbi Wise and devoted members of the Jewish race from all over the world stand ready to give their physical lives for their people, this little bunch of compromisers and boot-lickers in Berlin are ready to sell their honor for a "mess of potage." Nobody expects them to say in Berlin what Wise and in New York—but they could keep their mouths shut; they could be silent and suffer, if need be, while others dare and do. They need not attack their rescuers, even if they dare not support them. But human nature is selfish,—often cowardly: "white folks' niggers"—"Nazi Jews." Whatever gains are made in the forward struggle of any race will have to be made without complete unity or perfect co-operation within its own ranks. We need not call them "traitors"; they are just humans "on the spot." And one who is on the spot is subject to different persuasions, almost to different logic and morals, than are those who are not so exposed. Even the cold-blooded, iron-nerved men may weaken in the moment when all the odds are against them: Napoleon retreated pathetically from Waterloo, and John Dillinger wanted to flee from the muzzles of fifteen policemen's guns. The Jews outside of Germany will have to save the German Jew: those inside must conform or shut up, and some of them are too selfishly cunning to shut up. It was the Negroes outside of Arkansas who had to fight for the lives of those twelve peons: those within the power of Arkansas could do very little about it. Sometimes even the agitation from the outside hurts those who are on the spot, but there are some evils in the situation which cannot be avoided, and which will have to be accepted. But when Hitler received a telegram from Berlin Jews "protesting" against the "meddling by the Mississippi Senator Assails Power of N.A.A.C.P. By Carrol H. Lowell Senator Hubert D. Stephens has just concluded his efforts in the Magnolia to convince the voters of Mississippi that he "stood by the President." His successful opponent ex-Governor Theodore G. Bilbo told the voters, "Yes, but you will be in a hell of a fix if the President dies." Strange enough are the vicissitudes of life, when we stop to consider that Mississippi's former governor, Theodore G. Bilbo, has kept his speech upon a rather high plane, by refusing to bring the time-worn subject, "The Nigger" into the campaign. Bilbo spoke of Stephen's inability as a senator, his cowardice, and his weak platform, "Standing by the President." On the other hand, Senator Stephens, supposedly American, has failed in his platform "standing by the President," unless the President is standing by hate, enmity, race or prejudice, the rope, and every degree of disfranchisement for the black American, Senator Stephens proved more than Billbo to be the keeper of a Vardaman cemetery by digging up the bones of racial contention and waving them before the poor whites of Mississippi. His most recent attacks have been against the N.A.A.C.P., with special emphasis being placed on the part this worthy organisation played when the prejudiced Judge Parker sought a seat on the United States Supreme court bench. "I did vote for Judge Parker and I think that he should have been there on that bench not so very long age," Stephens told the voters. "I voted for Judge Parker because several prominent Democrats of North Carolina recommended him to me very highly. When he ran for Governor of that state, an office to which he was elected, the Negro Republicans came to him, but their support was refused by that—gentleman. He told them that he desired to be elected to the office by the white voters of the state," Senator Stephens explained. He mentioned the power of the N.A.A.C.P. and its influence in sec- Voted for Parker Pick Cotton or Do Not Eat Slavery or starvation! That is the alternative that will be offered this fall to colored people of the cotton-belt south by the government relief agencies. This is not guess work or alarmist chatter: it is cold reasoning from the signs we see, and the things we remember. We have not forgotten the old "Work or Fight!" pretext of the World War days: when colored men who had been slaving all day in the steel mills of the south, came home and found their wives in jail,—jailed by the officers in an effort to make them go and get some white woman's dinner,—under the sham enforcement of the work or fight rule. Mind you: the white woman of some rich house was not jailed because she would not go and be a servant in that idle white woman's kitchen,—and all under the natotic slogan of "Work or Fight!" We have before us an Alabama newspaper. Listen: "ALL IDLERS RULED OFF RELIEF ROLL "Persons who refuse legitimate opportunities to work, will be dropped from relief rolls, the Alabama Relief Administration ruled today." As a general statement, that sounds nice and reasonable,—until you read further and do a bit of reflecting: "The ruling was made following reports that Negroes on relief in some counties were refusing employment as cotton pickers, and Director Thad Holt, in a statement, requested the co-operation of farmers in reporting to county relief directors any persons who declined jobs offered them "All cotton pickers who are offered employment at picking cotton in their local communities will be expected to accept such employment," Director Holt said." Now let us see: People whose families have never known anything about farming or cotton picking, and who are now fallen upon "relief" in their towns and cities, for no fault of their own, are to be forced into the fields, or put off to starve. The "cotton pickers" (which means any Negro who is offered a job at picking cotton for any white man who chooses to enslave him) are to have nothing to say about the conditions or the wages of their employment. Nothing is said, mark you, about minimum wages or minimum ages, or conditions and situations of these new public slaves. They are to be delivered into the power of the planters and landlords. The government will become a panderer to neonage. And so the "New Deal" is to wipe out the 14th amendment in one sweep, as it has wiped out other slow gains of half a century; the Negro is to be no longer allowed even the poor "freedom" of choosing his own work, his own conditions, or his own master. Poverty on one side and the power of federal government on the other are to achieve peonage on a bigger scale than has been known since Lee surrendered. Jews of the world." Hitler must have stuck his tongue in his cheek. tions where the Negro uses the ballot. He insinuated that the Negroes in Texas would not have been victorious had Judge Parker been elected to the Supreme bench, stating that Judge Parker would have voted for Texas and not tainness and justice to black Americans. Senator Stephens's exact words follow: "I am sure that if Judge Parker had been on the bench he would have voted for the state of Texas in its case whereby the Supreme court held it unlawful for that state to refuse the Negroes the right to vote." Judge Parker's defeat was attributed by the Mississippi Senator to that "powerful organization" as he terms it, "the N.A.A.C.P." He later added, "I would have been less than a white gentleman from Mississippi had I voted otherwise. Who knows when some one will carry the question of Negroes voting in Mississippi to the Supreme bench?" Fayors Lynching This is the same Senator Stephens who recently said: "If any bill against lynching is passed, it will be over my dead body." Since this utterance, the Honor Roll for Lynchings places Mississippi at the top, to say nothing of murder after murder that not one paper, black or white, has said anything about. Accepting what Senator Stephens said with regard to the power of the N.A.A.C.P. and the northern Negro, it is high time that Negroes in the south wake up to their duty and responsibility by supporting the various organizations of the country that must speak for him before "the powers that be." Senator Stephens acknowledges that he is anxious to see a Supreme bench that is polluted with prejudice and antipathy. He wanted Parker, because as he said, Judge Parker would have held up the traditions of a hateful South instead of clinging to justice and fairness. When will the Negro get justice in Mississippi as long as white men who think like Senator Stephens must constitute the jury? When will lynching be regarded a crime as long as Senator Stephens believes that it must be done to "keep the nigger in his place," and up- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL If you allow unhampered discussion and spoken.

W. HAYES If you allow unhampered discussion, much folly will be printed and spoken. But the truth will come out in the end. The publicity policy mentioned above, which is a more or less intelligent and enlightened one, is evidently the one followed by the presen administration. Many foolish and unfounded accusations have been hurled against it by opposition writers and by many who were simply ignorant of the actual facts. In order to have my readers well informed as to just what the administration is doing for Negroes in the United States irrespective of their political faiths, I chronicle a few statements of administration officials reported in the Negro press recently. Harry L. Hopkins Federal Emergency Relief Administration, is ***** the authority for the statement that 4,000 colored students received a total of over one-half million dollars. This information was couched in a report received by him from 120 colleges throughout the south and from northern universities on the use of Federal funds to help needy students. ```markdown ``` Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, chief of the division of colored labor of the Labor Department who is also grand basileus of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, speaking before a gathering of Episcopal church workers in St. James Church in Baltimore, said—among other things:— "I am convinced that the colored worker in industry is not going to get very far unless he learns something about organization; unless he becomes organization minded." "BE AS CRITICAL AS YOU LIKE OF THE ADMINISTRATION." Mr. Oxley declared emphatically, "and of my office, but he keenly alive to the significance of present day conditions." During the seven months since the establishment of his division, which has as it purpose the advising of the Secretary of Labor, the directors and chiefs of the several divisions and bureaus of the Government on matters relating to colored wage earners employers and white workers in industry, Mr. Oxley said that he has been touching the pulse of colored workers in various parts of the country, in an effort to determine how they fare, what they need and what means would best obtain for them what they must have to exist. ***** H. A. Hunt, of the Farm Credit Administration, ex-principal of a Normal and Industrial School in Georgia, in an address to a large audience of farmers and townpeople from Peach, Houston and Crawford Counties in the auditorium of Fort Valley Normal and Industrial School at Fort Valley, Georgia said that in a number of counties where reports were available Negro farmers displayed an exceptionally high record for the repayment of Government loans. Mr. Hunt also outlined the services of the Federal Government in support of agriculture, explaining the different types of loans, touched upon the loans available to farmers, touched upon credit unions and concluded by making a plea for courage and hope. ***** Clark Foreman, special advisor on Negro affairs to the Secretary of the Interior, whose especial duty it is to see that the rights of Negroes are not flagrantly disregarded in the administration of the National Industrial Recovery Act, is credited with asserting that there have been more Negroes appointed to executive positions than under any previous administration. The writer who modestly admits being somewhat of an authority on the aims, attitudes, aspirations, and appointments of Negroes in the Federal service in Washington for the last half-decade, concurs with Mr. Foreman. I believe that old-timers like Charles (Commerce Department) Hall, Emile (Justice Department) Kuntz and Preston (Interior Department) Harris will agree with me. ```markdown ``` Eugene Kinckle Jones, special advisor to the Secretary of Commerce on Negro Affairs, who at the insistence of some of his best friends took a leave of absence (partial) from his work with the Urban League of New York to accept the arduous duties of the more or less thankless office he now holds, points with pride to the account (in summarized form) of the activities of his division from June 16 through September 15, 1934. ```markdown ``` Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General, has made few statements for the press recently. He has accepted and ably handled the cases assigned to him as a lawyer in the Department of Justice, has given whatever assistance to the multitude of people who erroneously consider him the dispenser of patronage for all the Negroes in the United States, he possible could and is lending whatever assistance he can to New Dealers in Pennsylvania from whence he was appointed. Vann, a native of Ahokies, N.C., is not only a lawyer of national note, who like Washington's John Risher can detect the direction in which the wind is blowing before the weather vane turns, but is also the publisher of one of the nation's outstanding weeklies. The editorial writers of his paper seem decidedly pro. New Deal ***** William Hastie, a special assistant to the Solicitor of the Interior Department and John Aubrey Davis, special research assistant to Lieut. Lawrence Oxley of the Labor Department, have one or two things in common with the writer. One is a desire expressed on the slighest provocation to get the Negro masses organization minded and the other is to see the New Negro Alliance (a buy-where-you-work organization) become a nationally known and respected corporation. Hastie who has practiced law before the District Bar, and Davis who recently received his Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, are both naturally better versed in the kind of logic which is necessary for successfully winning debates, than I. As brothers of that great fraternity the NNA, I am asking them to come to my assistance. **** The following (to me unanswerable) argument has been put up to me for consideration: "Instead of the militant boycott against specific white businesses, let us quietly spend our money where some of it is likely to come back to us. We HAVE to spend it in Negro owned hair-parlors, barber shops restaurants and hotels. Why not spend it ALSO in Negro-owned insurance companies, drug stores, butcher shops, and other enterprises? The discriminating white businesses can only survive as long as they get Negro patronage. Less loud talk and more quiet racial investment is our best bet right now unless we seek to encourage retaliatory measures. This we cannot do." The above paragraph is part of an editorial which title was "Wisdom from Mr. Hull." It referred to a statement made by the Secretary of State. While I am on the New Negro Alliance, I might mention an announcement recently made by George (Coast and Geodetic Survey) Rycraw who succeeded the writer as chairman of the Public Relation Committee that, Dr. Charles Wesley, head of the Department of History at Howard University, will be the featured speaker at the anniversary mass meeting of the NNA, to be held on Sunday October 14, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, at 8:00 p.m. So, until next week, selah. hold and make secure white supremacy? When will Congress see to it that lynchers must be punished after having seen conclusively that the white South intends to do absolute nothing about it? Will President Roosevelt sit idly by and let such ungrateful and lawbreaking citizens as Senator Stephens and his gang say they are "Standing by the President"? If President Roosevelt endorses such a man as Stephens of Mississippi to run on the platform "Standing by the President," then evidently the President is likewise standing by Stephens. Let us hope that he isn't. The first World Series of baseball was played in 1884. The real Gold Coast is in Guinea, West Africa. Cincinnati had the first professional baseball team.

IVY The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a well spent life is eternal. One of man's greatest handicaps in life is "fear." Fear kills success and happiness. Fear holds us down; fear holds us back. Fear is the sleeping sickness of ambition. The miser acquires, yet "fears" to use his gains. "Nothing is to be feared but fear." Overcome "fear" with a stronger ambition. Ambition accounts for all improvements, everything that makes life better safer, and more beautiful. And the way to feel safe is to never feel secure.

He disclosed that Africa, and not Asia is the birth place of the human family. Mr. Hansbury further stated that excavations and discoveries made during the last quarter of a century conclusively prove his position. He said that Africa has been the home of many civilizations, which were destroyed by the steady growth of the Sahara and Lybian Deserts, the Berber wars, and the slave trade. Illustrative pictures were shown during the lecture. A large audience greeted Mr. Hansbury. day in school? There was the general assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Garnet Wilkinson to "ring the bell" and assign the lesson for the day. (It proved a lot of Greek to me). There were his able assistants, Major R. R. Wright of Philadelphia and Mr. J. C. Bruce of our own city schools. There were the distinguished visitors from Haiti Dr. Lehrmann, Dr Dorsainvl and the merchant whose name I can't recall. There was Mr. Mercier (Secretary to the Haitian Minister), who introduced his countrymen. Even so many smart pupils were there, all eager to learn about Haiti. Dr. Ambrose Caliver, of course, should head the list because even "Uncle Sam" calls him a Specialist in Education. I saw Banker Jesse Mitchell and Architect Lankford and Messrs. Clark and Flagg, Miss Valerie Chase of the city schools, all dressed in gray with the prettiest feather fancy you ever saw adorning her black beret. Mrs. J. A. Lankford, becomingly gowned in brown velvet with matching gloves covering her poor pet-cat-scratched hands. Mrs. Birdie K. Kebble of 67 I Street, Northeast was there and attractively dressed too, in midnight blue with a real American beauty rose nestling near her throat. The main lessons were said in French and I didn't know a word, (seemed to have plenty of company too) and I was glad when the tall handsome interpreter told us what 'twas all about. Question after question they hurried at him and a reply was always forthcoming; Madame Evanti went to the head of the class by framing her question in French. When I saw how much it pleased the Haitians I was wishing I could think up one in German. But not even being sure of my English I decided to say not a word. At last the lessons were over and the kind teachers kept not a single soul in after school But some of the women remained voluntarily just to get another glance at the goodlooking interpreter. She was mudishly dressed in green with black accessories. He was a dapper young fellow in a suit of brown. You saw them leaving Lincoln Temple Congregational Church last Sunday. You thought she was some popular co-ed and he, her devoted swain. You were wrong in both instances. She was Mrs. Alfreda L. Pitts, one of the secretaries of the Y.M.C.A. and he was her tall young son. J. Percy Pitts. Did you know that there's a cunning little newcomer at the home of the Elvin Shepards, of 150 Adams Street, Northwest? Mr. Shepard is stepping very high. And his chest expansion has increased to such an extent that every button on his vest seems to say goodbye. And meanwhile the dainty Shepard arrival is sweetly sleeping the days away not caring even one little safety pin whether she looks like her mother, her father, her dear grandma or her popular Uncle Tom Parks. Maybe she knows in her pretty baby sort of way that no matter how she grows (whether tall or short or slim or stout) she's bound to be the biggest boss at 150 Adams Street. Speaking of the Shepard baby one is reminded that its mother, Mrs. Bertha Shepard is the very efficient president of the well-known "Junior Matrons' Club." A few short months ago the Vice President of that self-same club (Mrs. Mattie Curtis of Scaton Place) welcomed into her home a lovely baby daughter. The club has a secretary, a treasurer and ever so many members. And so when you find me busily scanning the Vital Statistics Page of the Washington Evening Star or some other daily paper, I won't be looking for a notice of death (no, no, banish all thought of that monster grim). Nor will I always be searching for newly-weds. I'll be hunting the names of "Junior Matrons" (the names of their better or rather worse "halves" will be there too) and the lines will read like this: "To John T. and Mary M. — a boy," or if they're lucky like the Canadian couple "To John T. and Mary M. — quintuplets, all girls." FIVE Look who's back from an ever so enjoyable vacation. Mrs. Margaret A. Frazier, a teacher n the National Training School for Girls on Conduit Road. Not that the lady appeared to need a vacation at all. She is one of the happy-hearted kid who will remain perennially young. Getting back to the vacation, almost everywhere Mrs. Frazier went there was a doting daughter or a grandson or at least some kind of an in-law to grab her up and show her the sights. There was her daughter and son-in-law, the Rev. and Mrs. Julius Carroll, of Baltimore who welcomed her to the big Maryland town. There was her grand-son, the Rev. Edward Carroll, pastor of Wesley M.E. Church of Salem, Va. He and his pretty wife and Dr. and Mrs. Brown picked out all of Salem's high spots and now Mrs. Frazier knows them by heart. Two weeks in Philadelphia with friends. Motor trips to Roanoke, Va. and other interesting places. Mrs. Frazier is now back on the job with her pupils, and blessing the Fate (or whatever you choose to call it) that gave her such happy vacation days. Out to hear the Eva Jessie Singer a Saturday or so ago was Mrs. Estelle Pinkney Webster. Being very much of a musician herself, you weren't a bit surprised to see her. And she looked lovely as ever in a black dress trimmed with white, a wide white-banded black hat and a mixed grey fur-trimmed coat. 一 Motorists using the Washington- Philadelphia Highway had better watch out. There's a sleek black Ford V-8 (with red wheels) that ever so often burns up that very same highway and stops almost for nothing. At the wheel is a slim pretty person. She is Philadelphia bound not only for news (she's a newspaperman you see) but good Friend Husband is in "Philly" too. --- See how important little Miss Fitchett is! Her proud papa, Mr. E.

And so they'll stay here a while and in the meantime the little Fitchet addition will form a better acquaintance with Grandma Washington and Uncle Bill Hansberry. Mr. Fitchet registered at Yale University this summer, ostensibly to study a science or so, but I'd be willing to wager that at least a part of his time was spent in pondering over momentous questions like these: "If it's a boy shall I send him to Harvard or Yale?" "If it's a girl shall I let her use lipstick or rouge?" And when he leaves Claflin College in December for Chicago, New York or some other University to take advantage of a Fellowship or something, in addition to the work outlined in the curriculum he'll probably be figuring on a few pretty baby problems like how to push a perambulator; how to sing a lullaby; or how to serve spinach "infant style."

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION News of Fraternals WHITE YOUTHS RAPE NEGRO CIRL IN JAIL WAGONER Okla. (By Roscoe Dungee for ANP)—Charged with raping a defenseless 19-year-old Negro girl, while in the county jail here, Elmer Key, Wagoner, and William Smith, Okay were bound over to the district court last week in the sum of $3,000 each. Helen May, young Negro girl, was incarcerated in a cell near the two white men Sunday night, September 16. Placed in her cell in full view of the two white men attracted the attention of the two drunker youths. By some means they broke the lock on their cell and entered the young girl's compartment, where both raped her. Wagoner is the county-seat of Wagoner county, where Negroes have not been permitted to vote since statehood. Slight attention is given to the citizenship of black folk. The practice of jailing Negro women in cells, where they must disrobe in full view of white men, has been prevalent for years. It will probably be embarrassing to the Wagoner county officials to explain many strange incidents involved in this rape case. A peculiar lizard, habitat of Russia, chirps through its tail.

The meeting had been called by Grand Master Louis W. Roy, of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge F.A.A.M., for the purpose of bringing the craft in closer contact and to ensle those who attend to get a larger vision of the aims and purposes of the order in general. These meetings will be held on each first and third Sunday at 4 o'clock at Scottish Rite Cathedral, 1633 Eleventh Street, Northwest.

It is very inspiring to note the large attendance at the Blue Lodges and the 'harmonious spirit shown by the brethren during these visitations, Warren No. 8 and Social No. 1, have already been visited. Both gave evidence of the old-time Masonic Spirits' which served as a factor in building up the order in the District of Columbia in years gone by. A reunit was served on each occasion.

Saturday, resulted in an injury to the former who was taken to Freemain's Hospital and treated by Dr. M. L. Valdus for THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 13, 1934 BUSTER HALL TO FEATURE INDOOR BOXING CARD Sensational Californian Will Meet Calvin Reed in Colonnade Show Another boxing contest the outcome of which is predicted will eclipse almost anything heretofore presented Washington fight-fans, will be presented by the Lincoln Athletic Club next Wednesday evening at the Lincoln Colonade in its first indoor boxing show of the season. Calvin Reed, fast-stepping Philadelphia welterweight, is matched with the pride of California, the hard-hitting fancy scraper Buster Hall. These two stars will face each other in the main event of the evening, 10 rounds which promise to be anything but a "love match." Although both of these boys have attained some national reputation in fistiana, Reed's glory comes from the fact that, besides having a string of knockouts attached to his belt, he is the boy who Jimmy McLarnin selected to train with before the latter's big scrap with Barney Ross for the lightweight championship of the world. But lest we forget Hall, too, has plenty of credit to his name. He is no novice at the game from what California critics have to say about him. So the fight between these two veterans is scheduled to give Washington fans a run for their money. In the semi-final, of eight rounds, Carlos Zavolla, Panamanian wildcat, will square off with Baby Kid Chocolate who needs no introduction to Washington fans. The Panama boy is to come said well recommended as an aggressive fighter who seldom leaves the ring without leaving behind a toll of bruises and knockouts, all to the credit of his flashing fists. Others on the card are Young Kid Buffaloo, Newark, who will meet Kid Chris, slugging Washington; Unknown Thomas and Sammy Williams; Kid Green and Kid Jap. COP'S INDICTMENT BY BLADENSBURG JURY AWAITED D. C. Attorneys Seeking to Prosecute Floy Expect Word from Body Attorneys for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the New Negro Alliance made it known early this week that they are awaiting a final decision from the Prince George's County Grand Jury, before any further action is taken in the case against Charles W. Floy, white, policeman charged with the brutal killing of Kater Stevens of this city. Stevens was killed, allegedly in cold blood, last summer when he attempted to escape custody after having been arrested on a traffic violation. Floy was never suspended, doing service as a Bladensburg town officer up to the time of the inquest. This latter was a hearing crowded with little short of partisanship on behalf of the patrolman. The grand jury received the evidence in the case and was slated to make a report of its findings, Tuesday. Up to a late hour Wednesday no word had been received by attorney Belford V. Lawson in charge of the alliance counsel, Mr. Lawson told a Tribune reporter that he was expecting word from State's Attorney Alan Bowie CUT BY UNKNOWN While walking on P Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets, Northwest, Saturday, Oscar Durrah, 34, 1511 Eighth Street, Northwest was cut by a knife of an unknown man.

Name ~IGHT TRUE STORIES BEGIN DRIVE TO AID HARRIET TUBMAN HOME FOR THE BLIND SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Congress Delegates are Feted at Howard Univ. The National Recreation Congress met here last week in a five day session with more than 1,000 delegates in attendance, 130 of whom were Negroes. The sessions were held at the Wardman Park Hotel, one of the most fashionable in the Capital. The National Recreation Association, which sponsored the Congress, was founded in this city in 1906, and started with the assistance of Theodore Roosevelt. The object of the Congress was to discuss the problem of extra leisure time, and the way it can be best utilized. In attendance were superintendents of municipal recreation, park directors, heads of community centers, city planners, university professors, school superintendents, social workers, school teachers and representatives of recreational agencies. The colored delegates were given a reception at Howard University, and taken on a general tour of the city. The members of the reception committee who planned for the entertainment of the delegates were: Anna Goodwin, chairman; Thomas Anderson. John Burr. Col. West A. Hamilton, Jacqueline Cuney, C. B. Day, Woolsey W. Hall, Dr. E. B. Henderson. Major Campbell C. Johnson. Virginia Richardson McGuire., Florence Matthews, Gabriel Pelham, Mae Stewart Thompson. Miss A. J. Turner, Edward Underdown and Garnet C. Wilkinson. HIGH FIRM QUITS 11th ST. STORE Ice Cream Company Which Fought N.N.A. Leaves Attention was again drawn to the battle between the L. W. High Ice Cream Company and the New Negro Alliance when the branch store at 3128 Eleventh Street, Northwest was abandoned early last week. It was presumed that a falling off in business together with the approaching winter season had much to do with vacating the Columbia Heights store. The action of the ice cream company officials in abandoning the Eleventh Street branch occurred during a lull in the fight between the firm and the youthful Negro organization. The Alliance, sponsor of the "buy where you can work" movement, was recently restrained from picketing the High stores where it is claimed Negroes do much toward making their operation money-paying. An order signed by Justice Alfred A. Wheat was equivalent to the issuance of an injunction in favor of the ice cream firm. Abandonment of the upper Eleventh Street store indicated to some extent that the crusade against that particular branch was successful. The Alliance purpose is to offer employment to Negroes where white firms are supported largely by colored patronage. Tyler Sits as Superior Judge in Los Angeles Court LOS ANGELES, Cal. (ANP) —For the first time in the history of California, a Negro attorney sat as judge in Superior Court here when Willis C. Tyler was appointed to serve on the bench in Department 46 A, adjunct court to Superior Judge Rey Ben Schauer. Judge Schauer announced to the court and the press that Mr. Tyler had been selected from among the outstanding attorneys of the city, without thought to race on the sole basis of ability. Los Angeles courts are so crowded that prominent attorneys are being asked to assist in relieving the calendar. Their service is gratuitous. Tyler is a Harvard Law graduate, having practiced i Los Angeles more than 25 years and is admittedly one of the most brilliant minds in the legal fraternity.

Wright, president of the Citizens' and Southern Bank, of Philadelphia, head of the project in this country, stated that this amount of coffee would be distributed through the regular and established trade channels until a Negro staffed agency could be founded. 11 Millions Spent Here The meeting was attended by Dr. Camille Liberison and Dr. J. C. Dorsainville of Port au Prince, who delivered addresses. A history of the country was given by the speakers who are here to establish trade relations with America. It was pointed by the speakers that $11,279,000 was spent anually by Haiti in the United States while that country imported about $1,600,000 from America. Major Wright Heads Group Major Wright Heads Group It was stated that coffee, one of the chief products of the island republic, is shipped to South American countries where it is then sent to other countries including the United States. The plan of the group is to have this coffee sent direct to the United States. A group of men headed by Major Wright have become interested in the plan and are seeking outlets for the coffee in American cities. The local committee is headed by John C. Bruce who has associated with him, Judge W. C. Hueston, the rev. W. H. Thomas, Jesse Mitchell and Charles M. Thomas. Garnet C.

Launching the National Association of Railway Employees, a federation which is to make articulate the efforts of the various railroad workers' organizations, the meeting resolved to fight against discrimination against Negroes in every craft. A meeting has been arranged for October 22, in Washington, with Joseph Eastman, federal co-ordinator of the railroads under the new railway act. The committee is asking railroad men everywhere who have been forced out of employment or denied advancement through the operation of unfair agreements, to send documentary evidence which can be presented at the Washington meeting. A campaign committee of a thousand railway workers is being formed, to safeguard the interests of Negro railroaders. John T. Clark represented the National Urban League at the meeting. Lt. Lawrence Oxley participated as the representative of the U.S. Labor Department and of Co-ordinator Eastman. Temporary officers selected were: Thomas D. Redd, of Louisville, chairman, and Robert L.

Railway Workers Revolt Against Discrimination at Chicago Largest Gathering of Railway Workers Outline Extensive Scheme to Resist Unfairness; To Meet in Washington in October CHICAGO, Ill., (By Jacob Anderson for ANP)—The largest group of representatives of organized Negro Railway workers to assemble in the history of the country met here at the Hotel Vincennes, September 18. Negro workers are undergoing because of the contracts made by the opposite group whose unions they are not allowed to join and through misapplication and sharp technical construction of these contracts resulting in the idleness They came in answer to the call of Thomas D. Redd of Louisville Ky., Arthur B. Hill of Richmond Va., H. O. Gair of Baton Rouge La., Lewis V. Fairchild of Poplar Bluffs, Mo., Leyton Weston of St Louis, Mo., R. M. Lays of Chicago and other heads of railway workers organizations for the purpose of achieving a solidarity among the various organized groups of Negro workers in railway service in order that they might meet the terms and conditions of the new Railway Labor Act and that Negro rail workers may be properly represented against discriminations and abuses which they now suffer. The right of proper representation at contract meetings; a fight against discriminatory contracts in the making of which Negro workers are not represented; misapplications of such contracts to the detriment of Negro workers; the gradual and in some cases drastic reduction from the service of Negro rail workers; legal action through new congressional acts to prevent and to investigate killings of Negro locomotive firemen and brakemen; congressional protest against the use of Filipinos to displace Negro Pullman and dining car employees and the development of a common policy of all Negro workers united to combat these injustices, were the salient topics acted upon at this meeting. Lt. Oxley Present Listening in for the Secretary of Labor and as special observer for the Railway Co-ordinator. Mr. Eastman, was Lt. Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief of the Division of Negro Labor at Washington while John Clark of the St. Louis Urban League represented T. Arnold Hill of New York, secretary to that militant body whose business it is to represent Negro workers. Also present to get the story of abuses directly from the mouths of the men in order that he may be of possible future service on proposed legislation at Washington, was Congressman Oscar DelPriest. A telegram promising full congressional cooperation with Mr. DePriest in the interest of Railway workers was received from Congressman P. H. Monyiban of Illinois. All Factions Unite Independent unions, so-called company unions and the American Federation of Labor were all present with accredited representation and all unanimously subscribed to the solidarity program as phrased by every man present and later by Mi DePriest, the sense of the meeting being that the men and the race must organize now on the basis of "one for all and all for one," or be completely eliminated from the railway services of the country. Men Cig Abuses Man after man from all the crafts and from every section of the country cited the special abuser. Washington Tribune Railroad Workers to Meet Here This Month Negro workers are undergoing because of the contracts made by the opposite group whose unions they are not allowed to join and through misapplication and sharp technical construction of these contracts resulting in the idleness or displacement of Negro railway employees. These stories of discrimination and abuse were continued through a specially arranged lanceon forum and the afternoon meeting and were the basis of the resolutions drawn up by the organization committee for action when a permanent organization will be completed at Washington, D.C. about the middle of next month. To Meet Co-Ordinator Eastman It was plainly stated to all present that there was no purpose or intention to absorb the authority of any organization or to dictate its methods of operation, but that the aim was to consolidate all organized railway labor groups into one common body of protest and action in the interest of all Negro railway workers. The body without a dissenting vote, agreed to meet at Washington, D.C., about the middle of October, complete the national body by getting additional representatives who were not present September 18 to be at Washington in October and then to present the facts to the Railroad Co-Ordinator, Mr. Eastman It was learned onearoad for authority that the Co-ordinator of Railroads is agreeable to such a meeting with colored railway workers' representatives and the temporary officers immediately laid plans for a meeting with him. Big Organization Movement Starts With printed copies of the findings and determinations of the meetings in their pockets, every delegate left Chicago resolved to have the largest possible representation of Negro Rail workers at Washington to meet, present protests and a program of remedies to the government officials there. Thomas D. Redd of Louisville and R. L. Mays of Chicago were named temporary officers assisted by a committee of five selected from the country-at-large. This committee is composed of H. O. Gair of Baton Rouge, La, Leyton Weston of St. Louis, Mo, Lewis C. Fairchild of Poplar Bluffs, Mo, Arthur B. Hill of Richmond, Va, and B. G. McCollough of Houston, Texas. Facts about the Washington meeting will be given any group of colored railway workers upon application to the temperate secretary, R. L. Mays, sat 3425 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

Southwest's Leader [Name] well known business man of the Southwest, who heads Civic Association and played a big part in the success of the Southwest parade held recently Committee of 100 is Increased to 500 The unprecedented nation-wide interest shown among racial leaders of every walk of life in the plans of the National Urban League for organizing Negro labor under the set-up of Negro Workers' Councils has resulted in expanding the organized Committee of One Hundred to a larger group of five hundred members. The League's headquarters at 1133 Broadway, New York City, reported this week that the Committee of One Hundred for Negro Workers had been more than filled and, consequently the national chairman, Robert S. Abbott, has decided on the increase. One hundred and five Negro men and women, including some of the most important names in the country, have already paid fees of five dollars or more in accepting committee membership. Mr. Abbott states that probably never before has so large a committee requiring so considerable a membership fee been completed so quickly on a nation-wide scale. Funeral services were held for William Colvin, of Glenarden, Md. near Washington, last Monday afternoon, in the Adams and Smooth Undertaking Parlors, in Anacostia, and were conducted by the Rev. P.

Johnson, of the Southwest Civic Association and who served as vice-chairman of the ways and means committee of the general committee which sponsored the celebration. The letter read in part; "I am writing to call your attention to a word used in the Washington Post of October 2nd in your story of the Southwest parade and celebration, captioned "Parade Hails an Improved 4th Street". "A little colored tot—the youngest of the 3,000 marchers in the parade—neatly and cutely dressed as an adult in a gray hat and a dark blue suit with long trousers—hanging to a streamer from the banner which announced the group with which he was marching—barely able to toddle along and keep up with the pace of the other marchers—doing his bit to commemorate the street along which General Lafayette made his triumphal entry on his visit to the Capitol in 1824—was depicted by your reporter as "Tiny Piccaninny in adult clothes." "As the only other alternative, therefore, I hope that the editorial board of the Washington Post, a daily of admittedly high standards of journalism will in the future delete "piccaninan" and place it in the same category as "sheeny", "darky", "mick", "wop", "chink", "nigger", "dago", "kike", and "coon", and a host of other expressions known to be offensive to one group or another because of race or creed. "I shall be pleased to be advised of your attitude in the matter." NEGRO ALLIANCE IN ANNIVERSARY MEETING SUNDAY Dr. Charles H. Wesley Will Be Principal Speaker at Public Gathering Dr. Charles H. Wesley of Howard University will be the principal speaker at the anniversary Meeting of the New Negro Alliance Sunday at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R Street between Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets, Northwest. The meeting which celebrates the end of the first year of the Alliance will bring together for the first time from all parts of the city the members and friends of the Alliance. The organization has specialized during the past year in securing jobs for colored persons by creating a sentiment against buying where colored people are not permitted to work. The Alliance has been in court twice during the past year for picketing stores in various sections of the city. Through this means several large stores have been induced to make it their policy to employ Negroes where most of the trade comes from the colored people in the neighborhood. The Dixie Harmonies, well known radio stars of the National Broadcasting Company will render selections. Louis Brown, popular organist will render several organ solos. Other speakers on the program will review the progress made during the past year and outline the program for the future.

The present board of trustees elected for the coming year are Kelly Miller, retired professor of sociology at Howard University, president; Alain Leroy Locke, philosophy professor at the same school, treasurer; and Charlotte E. Hunter, executive secretary. This institution is sorely in need of money and the board voted at its annual meeting to launch a drive for $10,000. But the immediate objective is to raise money to meet the $340 rent bill. Among the contributors are Dr. Mordasci Johnson president of Howard University, and Carter G. Woodson.
