Protests Pour Into White House From All Sections of the Country
45th LYNCHING UNDER PRESENT NEW DEAL
Governor and Sheriff Told of Murder 24 Hours Before It Took Place
Protests against Florida's "Advertised Lynching" poured into the White House this week from all sections of the country. Many of these telegrams came from associations composed of white southern women.
The brutal butchering of the body of Claude Neal, 23-year-old youth at Brewton, Ala., Saturday, by a mob over 5,000 white people took him from a jail at Marianna, Florida to the father of a white girl who was allegedly attacked by the youth, astounded the country.
Body Slaughtered
The father of the girl inflicted inhuman torture on the boy before he was taken to a pig-pen and slaughtered. Later 50 shots were pumped into his body and the mutilated corpse dragged behind an automobile through the streets and hung on a tree.
The lynching was widely advertised and officials knew of it a day before. Even newspapers all over the country carried stories of the proposed lynching 24 hours before it took place. Eight thousand college men throughout the nation sent a pro- (Continued on page 2)
James Jackson, a butler at 1520 New Hampshire Avenue, was conselling himself with $2,000 Wednesday as a result of his $2.60 ticket he bought on the Irish Sweepstakes last summer while he was in Maine with his employers, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Sweeney.
Jackson bought a ticket and drew Totaig, a horse that did not finish in the money, but he will get the $2,000 as consolation prize. When seen at his place of employment this week by a reporter for The Tribune, Jackson was more than overjoyed at his good fortune. "I don't know what I will do with the money," he said. It was the first time he had ever purchased a ticket on the Sweepstakes.
A white woman offered to buy the ticket, but he refused to sell it. The horse he drew was a long shot. If he had won, Jackson would have received $150,000 minus a government tax of slightly over $9,000. However, he said he is more than satisfied with his initial investment. Jackson was born in Crystal Springs, Miss., and has been in Washington about 9 years. He has been employed by the Sweegzys

KEETS'S RIFT AIRED IN COURT
Realtor Sued for Absolute Divorce; Wife Names "Other Woman"
Charges of desertion and adultery were encouiled in a bill for absolute divorce filed by Mrs. Lumina N. Keets, 617 Florida Avenue, Northwest, against her husband, Samuel H. Keets, well known local real estate operator, with offices at 915 U Street, Northwest, Monday. The suit was instituted through Attorneys Nita S. Himman, Selma C. Anderson and Maude Landis, all white. Phyllis Ann Hodge, an employee of the Family Aid Association, 601 M Street, Northwest, was named as co-respondent.
The Keets according to the petition, were married on June 25, 1911. They became quite prominent locally, the husband's real estate operations gradually growing extensively until he was one of the city's leaders in that field.
Deserted Wife, Child
However, something went amiss, as Mrs. Keets, in her bill of complaint, states that her husband deserted her and their one child, a son, in April of this year. His departure, Mrs. Keets avers, culminated a long period of cruelty and mistreatment. She declares that he cursed and beat her at will throughout their married life, and that for sometime prior to his desertion he had failed to provide for her and their child.
Mrs. Keets alleges that when her husband moved from their Florida Avenue residence he left her, with their son, occupying two rooms in a house he sublets as a booming house. No contributions have been made toward their maintenance, she states, except the permission to use $_{6}$ the two rooms. As a consequence, the plaintiff declares, she is compelled to work as a charwoman in order to provide for herself and son.
Living with "Other Woman"
Meanwhile, Mrs. Keets's notation avera, the defendant is living with the Hodge woman at 1835 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, a house which the wife declares is operated as a hotel and is one of the six pieces of property he handles to not a monthly income of approximately $300. ther avera occupies the same room. The co-respondent, the bill turse Mr. Keets while serving in the capacity of manager of the Thirteenth Street place. Beside an absolute divorce, Mrs. Keets, requests the court to award her permanent alimnog. She also asks the issuance of an order to prevent Mr. Keets from harming her.

WILSON MAY MOVE GRAND LODGE
Elk Ruler Gets Backing of Trustees to Move Convention Site
J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, held the whip hand this week in the controversy between the two local lodges and the chief of Elkdom over the selection of a general chairman to entertain the grand lodge session which is scheduled to meet here next August.
The fierce leader of the anteri-
herd handed down his ultimatum
to the two lodges, Morning Sea
and Columbia, this week. He pointed
out that unless his appointee,
Dr. Charles Fisher, is not general
chairman, there will be no grand
lodge session here. To back this
up he carried the proxies of all of
the members trustee board advising
him that he had their consent to
move the grand lodge session to
another city unless the difficulties
here could be ironed out.
Halts Lodges
Mr. Wilson also warned the two
renegade lodges to refrain from
making any contracts or obliga-
tions in the interest of the grand
lodge session. His decree to the
two local lodges, Columbia and
Morning Star follows:
By virtue of the authority vested in me as Grand Exalted Ruler during the interim of the Grand Lodge sessions and by virtue of the authority vested in the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Board of Trustees as provided under the by law of the Order, I direct that no member nor your agents, nor your committees, nor anyone acting for you, enter into any contracts or make any obligations looking to the entertainment of the Grand Lodge Session of I.B.P.O.E. of W. for the year of 1935.
It appears that a emergency has arisen in that the lodges and their committees are in rebellion or are insubordinate to the established rules, customs, and traditions of the Grand Lodge in such cases (Continued on page 2)

A statement issued by Dr. William Jay Schieffelin, chairman of the board, relative to Dr. Moton's resignation, said: "The board took no action on the matter at this meeting beyond the unanimous expression of reluctance to concur in his decision, but the

Action Follows Disorderly Conduct at Recent Football Game
Found guilty by the university Discipline Committee of disorderly conduct while attending a football game, three Howard University students, all under the age of 21, were suspended indefinitely Tuesday, by Dean William B. West, dean of men.
The dean's action followed several days probing by the committee, of which Professor Frank Coleman is chairman, after numerous complaints found their way to the university authorities concerning the alleged disorderly conduct of Howard students at the recent Virginia State-Howard grid gym played at Petersburg, Va., and later at a dance given in the Virginia State College gymnasium.
Were Disorderly
The reported suspended students, Greer Williams, sophomore; Scott Davidson and Irving Barnes, freshmen, are alleged to have been among a group of Washington fans who deported themselves quite disorderly.
Dean West told the Tribune that this was the first time the university had found it necessary to take such drastic action in a discipline case in his 13 years at the school. He declared that it was the first time Howard students had ever been reported for urgentiemanly-like behavior off the campus.
Refuses to Talk
Although he refused to confirm the report that Williams, Barnes and Davidson were the suspended students, Dean West stated that they were young students who had gotten mixed with the wrong associates, and that he hoped, they would profit by their suspension. He stated that he preferred not to

President and Attorney-General Urged to Take Action in Kidnapping of Boy by Mob and Murdering Him in Another State
Residents Hold Witnesses May Not Have Spoken Truth Before Coroner
George Aed, white proprietor of a grocery store at the corner of Ninth and S Streets, Northwest, was made defendant in a $10,000 damage suit filed early this week on behalf of Mrs. Lella Green, 1845 Ninth Street, Northwest.
Aed shot and killed William Green, aged 16, on October 13. The boy's death was ascribed to an accident due to the carelessness of Aed n carrying a loaded pistol about his person. A coroner's jury refused to hold him for grand jury action but cited Aed for his lack of caution.
The petition was gled through Attorneys Lewis, Beaubian and Lawson.

Law Class Cites
In Lynching of
President and Attorney-Gen
in Kidnapping of Boy
Him in Anr
The senior law class of the How-
ard University Law School protested to President Roosevelt and Attorney General Homer Cummings this week against the slaying of a colored youth by a mob in Florida.
The class pointed out to the President and Attorney General the Lindbergh Law which makes kidnapping a Federal offense and urged that the Department of Justice run down and punish the criminals.
The telegrams follow:
His Excellency
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Department of Justice asserts no Federal jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute murderers of Claude Neal, lynched last Friday, near Marianna, Florida. In so doing, Attorney General repudiates 1934 amendments to Lindbergh Law introduced in Congress at his very request to give Federal authority jurisdiction in all interstate kidnapping regardless of reason. The senior law class of Howard University urges you to bring influence of your office to bear on the Department of Justice to compel it to recognize and enforce the very law which it promoted and sponsored. The class also urges you to make
administration following a request for the same in probate court of the District Supreme Court, late last week. As administratrix and the lad's mother, Mrs. Green instituted legal proceedings.
Witnesses Say "Accident"
According to witnesses of the shooting, Leroy Betts and Granville Hill, both friends of Green, Aed dropped the revolver from his pocket while engaged in a friendly tussle with Botts. Green, standing nearby, received the bullet in his abdomen as the gun struck the floor and went off.
Residents of the section, however, were not altogether satisfied with the story as told by the youth. In the declaration, Aed is charged directly with an assault on the youngster. One paragraph assures that the grocery store proprietor "with force and arms made an assault and did then and there shoot and mortally wound" the lad.
WOMAN BESTS MAN.
During an argument Saturday between Willie McDowelt, 41, 234 Dixon Court, Southwest, and Georgia McCracken, 30, of the front address, the former was cut on his face and neck with a knife. He was taken to the Casualty Hospital and treated by Dr. Buono.

In view of fact Department of Justice itself sponsored 1934 amendment to Lindbergh Law making indictable kidnapping for any reason a Federal offense, the senior law class of Howard University regards the position of the Department of Justice as a repudiation of its former position and a surrender of its trust to the entrenched forces of lawlessness and race hatred. We call upon you for the san- vigorous enforcement of the amended Lindbergh Law in the Claudie Neal kidnapping as your department showed in tracking down Hauptmann, Bailey and the other criminals who kidnapped for

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — It certainly reflects great credit on the type of public spirit and leadership which Principal Butler has given during his fourteen years at Wiley Bates High School to cite the fact the parents of the pupils who come from miles around have gotten together and chartered their own bus and that they pay first with chickens, hogs, vegetables and other farm products at the end of the year, in the event they cannot pay in cash.
Wiley Bates, a retired colored merchant for whom the school was named, was induced by Principal Butler to donate five hundred dollars toward equipment. It bought among many miscellaneous necessities one specially set-up alarm clock for $38 twenty per cent cash discount, a unique invention and contraction of a colored boy in Texas, set up in the main office, which takes the place of a $300 class room signalling bell system

Last Winter there were 1500 of the 4,000 colored inhabitants on the relief rolls. Work Relief Director Meyers pointed out there were only a little over 300 during the month of September. They have gotten jobs on the farm and PWA ship building projects over at the Naval School. "They'd rather work than be on charity" was his opinion, but these remaining few have done a good job for the community—though the work had to be spread out a lot in order that no man exceeded his budget. The schools have experienced a big physical improvement from this new work relief policy of the FERA in Annapolis and Arundell county.

Looking ’em Over
|| by SAM LACY
| With the Tribune
| i.
‘Two letters have been received in this office in reply to the “Look-
ing ’em Over” column of two weeks back. The column of that issue
was given over largely to “Happy” Walters, Tribune golf correspon-
dent, with a few notations of the editor included in a general summary.
Mr, Walters, in his article, criticized the Royal Golf Club for what
he interpreted as a failure on its part to bring pressure to bear on the
city officials toward the end of obtaining better golfing facilities for
local colored players of the game.
The first of these letters came TYPEWRITTEN( with NO RE-
TURN ADDRESS and UNSIGNED. The writer of this letter show-
ed confused thought and little, if eny, common sense. For that reason
the missive found its way to the trash basket sitting here alongside me,
The second of these letters comes from Dr. George W. Adams, pres-
ident of the Royal Golf Club, and himself ome of the outstanding race
players of this city. Dr, Adams's letter is as follows:
518 U Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.,
Octeber 26, 1934.
er. Sam Lacy,
Sports Editor,
Washington Tribune, ‘
Dear Sam: Re,
I am writing this article to clcar up some misunderstanding exist-
ing in the mind of your correspondent concerning the Royal Golf Club,
I know it is expecting toc much to you to give up your valuable column,
“Looking 'em Over,” for this answer, but would appreciate any space
you may have. Iddg not intend to enter any controversy with any writer
‘concerning the matter of golf, but I do feel that some of the statements
made concerning the club are unfair if facts are known, é
‘The writer in the first place compares the action of city officials in
Baltimore and Washington in revard to matters of recreation, namely
golf. It is obvious in a city where the vote can be wielded, pressure
can be more affective than where no such aid is at hand. In addition
the recreational facilities here are under federal, not municipal direction.
The writer apparently is not well enough informed either by his
interest in the golf course, or by his perusal of your valuable column,
or he would know and would have probably. signed the petition which
‘was presented to the Secretary of the Interior, Harold Iekes, Director
of National Parks, M. T. Finnan. As a result of this petition, signed
‘by some 190 persons interested in golf, an interview with the superin-
tendent was obtained, and promises of early beginning of work on a
suitable 18-hole course were obtained. That the course is not built nor
completed can not be laid to negligence of the clcb. Even now a fol-
low up is planned to keep the officials active in this regard,
‘The “exclusive” membership is to me too childish to answer. Solici-
tation of all golfers and those interested has been made, Many others
apparently have the reaction of the writer, namely, waiting for some-
thing to arise from the club’s activity, and jump on the band wagon.
‘The exclusive feature may be applied to those loyal men who aré not
afraid to join the club, pay their dues, and take the lead in stimulating
pinterest in golf. Members of the club have supported every tournament
staged on our course, and shown the spirit of sportsmanship not shown
by many of the others outside the pale.
_The writer states in one line that his loyalty to those who look to
him—the eaddies—prevented his joining the club. Frankly, I do not
see the least reason in such an assertion, and if there is such a strong
organization existing, why have not the efforts of such been rewarded
better than those of our club?
The writer advocates organized effort as a solution. We thorough-
ly agree, but is non-constructie criticism the only effort the writer can
offer? The club officers are still working and will continue to do 0,
but if any who can offer suggestions, whether a member of the club,
or outside of the club, we stand ready to hear. We cordially invite the
correspondent or any of his loyal followers, as well as you, Mr, Editor,
to lead his loyal followers, as well ag speedy solution. Hoping you will
‘be able to give some space to essential facts of this article,
T remain,
GEORGE W. ADAMS,
. President, Roval Golf Club.

NORTHWESTERNS TRAMPLED BY WILLOW TREE
Tailenders of District Sandlot League No Match for Leaders
Continuing their uninterrupted march toward the District gridiron championship, the Willow Tree A.C. eleven took the measure of the Northwestern A.C. outfit by the one-sided score of 29-0 on the grounds at Green Valley Park, Va. last Sunday afternoon. A 65-yard gallop by Pasusum, Tree halfback, accounted for the initial score, and thereafter the west-end aggregation never seriously threatened. Throughout the opening period, however, the Northwestern lads played determined football to withstand the hard-running Southwesterners. Books and Lucas added the remaining touchdowns for the Trees. The former garnered a pair of 6-pointers and the latter one. A safety, together with a pair of extra point conversions finished off the scoring for the day.
AGGIES TRIUMPH IN UPSET OVER VIRGINIA STATE
A. and T. Eleven Rallies to Defeat Trojans Before Large Crowd
GREENSBORO, N.C.—Before a achieving crowd of 1,200, the Aggie Bulldogs of A. and T. College unleashed the most spectacular last minute drive ever witnessed in the local stadium. Norman, Aggie quarterback, shot his rifle-like passes all over the field while at the same time he mixed running plays that ripped the Virginia State line wide open and netted a 7-6 victory for the North Carolinans.
This last minute offense caused the fans to completely forget the intense cold. The Trojans were helpless, for as they tried to form a pass defense, Graham, hard hitting Aggie fullback would ram the line for a first down, or if they formed a defense for running plays Norman would complete his accurate passes.
State Goes to Front
The Trojans scored first. Their attack matured in the middle of the second period. Taking the ball on the Aggie 45 they sustained a drive to a touchdown. This drive ended the Virginia State attack for the quarterback seemed to think that he could run the heavy Aggie line at will but the results were only about five more yards through the line for the remaining part of the game. Houston and Veste did most of the gaining on this drive with Houston scoring on an off-tackle on the 3-yard line. The Aggie attack did not begin until the Trojans had scored, they took the ball on the kickoff and drove for 60 yards, a drive that was stopped by the whistle. In the last quarter Norman began to uncork passes to McKoy and Burgess with Burgess scoring on a pass from the 10-yard line. McKoy making the extra point on a pass.
Florida Scores One-Point Victory Over Hornets
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — With their All-American fullback, John Martin, and star quarterback, Jerome Morris, a Florida boy left behind because of injuries, Alabama State Teachers' hopes for the Southeastern conference title received a severe jolt when the light, scrappy Florida A. and M. eleven eked out a 7-6 victory here last Saturday. The win was the result of the educated toe of Alton Williams who was injected into the lineup to ply his trade of adding points after touchdowns. Alabama lead in first downs with 6 and 70 yards by rushing to Florida's 4 and 35 yards. The Hornets completed 6 out of 19 passes for 166 yards against 1 out of 7 for 30 yards by the Rattlers. Everett of Florida with 44 yards and A. D. Brown of Alabama with 32 led their respective teams in ground gaining.

Nine times the Downies were within the Golden Tornado's 20-yard stripe. Once after a 72-yard advance they were stopped one foot from pay-off land.

Around the Play Centers Of the Nation's Capital
A brief visit to many of the playgrounds, community center boys' clubs and community houses reveal concerted interest in recreation. Some of this interest is developed because of unemployment and the other is just natural. Be what it may the programs seem to hold much interest for the followers of sport and recreation. The Southwest Community House celebrated its thirteenth anniversary, Tuesday night with the Southwest Civic Association acting as hosts to the many friends and officers of the house. The house is under the direction of Mrs. Alma J. Scott and an able staff which includes Miss Lillian Dotson, director of the nursery school; Dr. Ethel Sutton, house physician, and Clarence Brown, director of recreation.
The program included music by the Elks' Chorus, a paper of welcome by Lelia Liverpool for the girls and James Noble for the boys. Other talks were made by Thomas Harper, Mrs. Beatrice Catlett, Mrs. Mordecai Johnson, Judge Henry Houston and Maggie Johnson. Some of the members of the board for the Southwest House presented to the group included the following: Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. L. Naylor Fitzugh, Mr. Samuel B Matthews, Mrs. Emma Allen, Miss Stella Minor, Miss Virginia William, Dean Lucv D. Slowe, the Rev. Benjamin H. Whiting, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Mrs. Minnie King and Mrs. Maggie Johnson.
Miss Lillian Dotson later in the program presented a basket of flowers to Mrs. Alma J. Scott in behalf of the staff. Among the prominent personages who visited the house and spoke during the evening were Mrs. Elwood Street, wife of the director of public welfare; Mrs. Haig, of the Northwest House, and Miss Anderson, of the Y.W.C.A. Other talks were made by Miss Boroughs, Dean Slowe, Miss Marion Sabbs, Clarence Brown and Mrs. Garnett C. Wilkinson. Miss Virginia Williams, member of the board, complied with many requests and sang "My Task," which was well received. Refreshments and inspection of the house followed the program.

Howard-Hampton Football Game to Feature Homecoming Card
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Great plans are being made at Hampton for November 10, the day of the Hampton-Howard homecoming clash on Armstrong Field. With just a little help from the weatherman, everything generally associated with a real classic will be in evidence. Besides the thud of the pigskin and the presence of gridiron gladiators in the garb of battle, there will be the music of Pop Fessman's sixty-five piece band beating out the rhythm for the parading Hampton cadets.
While the game itself will be enough to attract thousands, Hampton is also planning many other things of interest. Chief among these will be the Community Fair, which alone lured hundreds to the Peninsula campus. The Fair will have its beginning on Friday and last through Saturday. After the clash, when nerves will have been quieted and hearts will have gone back to their natural places, there will be dancing at the newly erected Bay Shore pavilion to the strains of the Royal Hamptonians.
There is every indication that when the Bisons and Pirates meet there will be a revival of what once was the last word in collegiate football. This year the two teams are more nearly on a par, as far as strength is concerned, than Hampton and Howard teams have been for a number of years. While on paper the Capital City boys seem to have the edge, many factors enter in to give the Pirates an even chance to emerge on the long end of the score. First of all, the team which is largely made up of freshmen has been steadily gaining momentum through seasoning and hard work on the part of coaches Gid Smith and Buck Neilson. Then too, the Bucaneers will be playing at home, and football fans will agree that Hampton teams are hard to beat on Arm-strong Field.

"HAPPY" WALTERS
I am beginning to believe my inconsistent "velping" is having some effect on local linksmen. Last week I was informed by one who knows, the attendance at the Memorial links has been anything but encouragin' during the last two months. I have no intention of harming anyone in any manner but I think we should find out definitely whether we are to get a course or not. The only thing that should interest those who must play the Memorial should be the sowing of grass seed where the sand greens are.
I realized a good while ago that I am fighting practically a lone battle on the issue, but I do not feel that it will be in vain for I'm sure local sportsmen will see the sincerity of my efforts, and wake up. I have been accused of being quite radical in my writing and this I am not hasty in denying, but I try to present the picture as it's painted and this portrait (if us banging around year after year on a course that no other race of players would tolerate, is a sad and sorrowful spectacle indeed.
Of course we all go to this links from time to time but not for the love of it by any means. My aim is to awaken you who play the game, to stand together and demand that we be given one of the local municipal courses in this city. We can surprise ourselves by exerting a little effort. Why not try?
---
Practically all of the city's golfers are well-acquainted with "Buts" who caddies at the fashionable Columbia Club and having been employed here in this capacity for a number of years, he has the game down "pat." Only the gods can rescue a golfer once this brilliant mentor escorts one around the course.
Having never hit a "lick" he is fortunate to be imbued with the "golf wisdom" of Hagen, Varden, Jones and probably a score or more of golf's immortals. I nearly forgot to tell you of his uncanny skill in picking the last horse in turf classics. Yes sir, boys, here's your long lost "Wonder Worker."
****
Remember "fellows of the fairways" I'm still only to dealmays." I'm still ready to deal with the caddy situation. I mentioned in this column sometime ago. You boys who look to the various clubs for a livelihood, should see that an even break is forthcoming and try to form an organization that will take care of these matters.
As things stand at present many of the boys have mentioned the potten deal they are getting at the various clubs where they are employed. It seems there exists a system of favoritism and petty graft at two of the well-known clubs. With a well meaning band of caddies united for the common good of all, this discrepancy could be easily handled.
Better open your eyes, fellows.
"The Parade of Champions"
Rueben Brooks is the new "king pin" of local golfers and this writer really believes this youngster will be able to hold his own when the time comes to defend his crown. Brooks seems to be a lad who could play a fairly decent game on a large course. He is a well-built youngster with a fine swing and his short game is exceptionally good. But somehow the killing instinct is lacking in this boy's game. Years of play and practice will take care of this fault.
Next in line is Dr. Albert Harris who played stch steady golf to anne: the spring tourney. The good doctor has been hitting the pellet a good many years but has never been able to crash the winning circle in local tournaments, till this year. He should be able to give an account of himself next season, for he "knows the ropes" like a veteran trouncer.
Next in line is Jimmy Williams who dropped his district championship this year after four years of personal protection. If ever a man could play this course better than Jimmy, he's never shown up and that's not all for the course record is held by this strapping big linksman, who toured the layout in twenty-five strokes and a better man would have to pull some back breaking shots to shatter this performance.
I continue to repeat whose next in line so the next in line would be Richard Harris, the golfing Adonis of Arlington, who went to the finals in the spring jamboree and chewed the boys to pieces in the city championship's second flight.
Richard hasn't been able to come through as he should for the Memorial links are not in accord with the game of golf he's capable of, but managed to eke out a profitable year so far as golf's concerned.
Others deserving honorable mention for exceptional play during the year include, Dr. George Adams, George Thomas, Herbert Esthea, Walter Booth, Adolph Warren, Slim Carter and Dr. Walter Savoy. These fellows are improving rapidly and are worrying the old-timer quite a bit in tourneys here about. I wish them all a brighter and better season during the next year.

Union Eleven 45-0 Winner Over Saints; "Pony" Backs Show Class
By SPOT ROBINSON
RICHMOND, Va.—The Maroon and Steel warriors of Virginia Union University took the first game at home by the convincing score of 45-0 from St. Augustine's College. The Panthers crossed the Saints' goal line in every period and completely outplayed their opponents in every department of the game, making a net gain of 375 yards and 21 first-downs as compared with 11 yards and 4 first-downs for the Carolinians.
Although without the services of Co-Captain Poole Parker, and Coleburn, the Panthers packed plenty of power in the "pony" backs: Jones, Mitchell, Winfree, Whitaker and James, and a stone wall in Jenkins, Taylor, Barco, Warfield and Wilson. The Saints made three of their four first downs by passing, and the splendid work of Captain Stirrupp Hearn and Bond in the line prevented the Panthers from making an even larger score.

MORRISTOWN, Tenn.—Morristown College defeated Livingstone College of Salisbury, N. C. here today by a score of 20-0. The visitors succeeded in making but five first downs to the home team's twenty-one. The game was unique in one respect. It was a chilly day and a brisk wind swept the field. In spite of this fact Morristown was not compelled to resort to a single punt. Each time that Morristown lost the ball on downs the Knights were deep in Livingstone territory.

It is with this in mind that the column and the Tribune pause i solemn tribute to one who died a just the time she was reaching the peak of her career. Seven years ago today (Nov. 1, 1927) all Europe bowed its head in reverence as the report that Florence Mill had died was borne about on Parkian breezes.
Though summers and winter and the various seasons have come and gone, American and European theatre-goers still remember her still think of her, still miss her.

one of the timeliest stories of the year: "Million Dollar Ransom" will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre from Friday to Monday, "Million Dollar Ransom" deals with kidnappers, men who were left high and dry for some packet to enter when prohibition ended. Damon Runyon has woven all the colorful scenes of New York night life into this story and reveals the machinations of a group of former liquor barons who are compelled to find new fields for money. It is an amazing tale, told deftly by a great writer. Edward Arnold in an Al Capone part gives another great performance. Others in the cast are Mary Carlisle, Phillips Holmes and Wini Shaw. The late Russ Columbo is featured in the picture "Wake Up And Dream" which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Roger Pryor and June Knight support.

‘Where's Uucle
A. Simpkins had our piczy boy,
Joe Martin, taking it on the chin a!
Hestelene Brook's party. Joe was
supposed to be carrying the toren
for Adel. Anyway W. Hightower
took all the curtain calls from him.
Joe asked her for a dance and she
refused, saying that he would get
the next ‘ohe. But strangely, the
next dance never came, After the
swinger let out, Joe asked to see
the young lady home and he was
told that her uncle was coming for
her. But time proved that W. H.
took unk’s place. Poor Joe, Then
the break-up came, The Indy in-
volved considered the fact that a
major’s armband was a little long-
er than @ captain’s, so the result
was Joe is still holding the torch.

Sweepstakes Finally Wins Just a Little
As Board Rie Sh | cca
Frantic Pieas | office last wweek and sc
| Three students failed to duck the
ax swung by the discipline bdard
and so their connection with How-
ard U. were severed Monday. It
seems that Howard is at last over-
taking some of its fast stepping
popularity boys and, are they get-
ting the works.
"Tis rumored that:
A list of disorderly students was
sent to. the hill by a prominent
teacher of one of Washington's
high schools which was gathered
while attending the game and
darze at Virginia Stete, Satur-
day, October 30.
As a result of this report a great
number of students were called in-
to Dean West's office and after
many interviews, Irving Barnes
and Greyer Williams were suspend-
ed until the meeting of the disci-
pline Committee. Scottie David-
son, a freshman, was allowed to
remain in school but his case was
also before the committee.
The committee heard both sides
Monday and ruled that Irving
Barnes, Greyer Williams and Scot-
tie Davidson are suspended for
open disorderlp conduct, ° and
wie of profane language on the
Virginia State campus. The results
might not have heen so drastic had
some of the boys not been cursing
in the presence of Mrs. Gandy,
wife of the president of Virginia
State College.
Well Some One Had To Be
The Goat
Noticing the records of last
year’s freshman class we find that
it had the highest entrance acne
ships of any freshman class
many, years, and made one of the
lowest class ratings.
Knowing that something must be
wrong to cause such a complete
change in highly rated students it
was found that a great, number
of students who made poor marks
were participating in from four to
seven extra curricular activities.
The student council is trying to
keep such a situation from occur-
ring again; so. they made a list of
rules restricting the activities
of freshmen,
The following is a statement
by the Freshman Class representa-
tives:
‘An Open Letter to the
‘Rreshtaan ‘Chien.
‘The Freshman Class, through
its committee which met with
the Chairman of the Freshman
Activities Committee; has a-
greed to act in conformity with
the legislation of the Student
Couneil which states that:
.. “No Freshman shall. be al-
lowed to attend any other so-
cial. receptions except. those
specifically stated and the
Freshman Prom.”
We believe after due consid-
eration and in the interect of
the perpetuation and develop-
ment of Student Government
on the Campus that we have
acted wisely,
We are not in accord with
the attitude of subordinate or-
ganizations in their disregard
to the only authorized power
of the Student Council.
‘We shall recognize in the
future only the official regula-
tions of the Student Council
im’ regards to Freshmen.

News ys. Gossip
I talked with a young lady the
other day. The very frank yonug
miss calmly told me that she read
this column—but as she so naively
remarked “you have no news!”—
she completely swept me of my
feet. No news? Yes. No news!
‘When I questioned her further she
replied that her idea of “news”—
was plain, common, cheap, gut-
bucket gossip and dirt-a-la-Win-
chell, By way of retort, I attempt-
ed to explain to her that even the
now famous Winchell had “calmed
down” on his. keyhole peeping
stories and scoops and. was now
modifying his daily columns to the
extent that he was featuring per-
sonal opinions and reflections of
the important news events of the
wk Pe ee late, he has
“played up” fauptmann case
ery daily. and “has lambasted
the German leader, Hitler almost
‘as often. On the basis of these
recent writings, I personally be-
lieve that Winchell has done more
to preserve an everlasting niche in
Journalism’s “Hall of Fame” than
‘all of his renowned “gossip col-
ums” have ever accomplished for
him. /

JIM CROW MOVE BY THE AMERICAN LEGION BLOCKED
MIAMI, Fla.—Assuming a brave stand, W. A. Johnson, member of Ben Bowie Post No. 228 Los Angeles, Cal., and delegate from the 23rd district, which comprises 24 California posts, only one of which is colored, spoke against a resolution at the recent national legion convention here, which would have placed its baseball tournaments under the laws and social rules of the states in which it was held.
The resolution was introduced by Adjutant Harold Redden, of Massachusetts, who wanted the committee report upheld on this new ruling which would have meant the disbarment of Negro players from taking part in games in southern and border line states. Oddly enough it will be remembered, it was a Massachusetts team that withdrew from a tournament at Gastonia, N.C., when it was made evident that one of their players could not participate on account of color.
Mr. Johnson, whose past department commander, Frank Belgrano, Jr., was slated for the post of national commander, arose and spoke against the proposed measure in such a convincing manner that he won the hearty applause of many of the legionaires present, Harold Twoomey, another Massachusetts man, also spoke for it.
Upon the counting of the vavoca vote, the chairman read that the resolution was lost, and, following this signal victory against something that smacked of segregation, Dewitt Deweese, of Philadelphia, Miss., prominent Mississippi legionnaire, shook hands with Mr. Johnson and assured him that Mississippi delegation supported him in his stand.
Other outstanding action centering around the welfare of colored legionaires and ex-soldiers was the passage of a resolution by the rehabilitation committee recommending the building of a hospital for the Negro War Veterans in the Middle Atlantic States. The bonus resolution passed by a vote of six to one.
INJURED HOWARD MEDICAL SCHOOL STUDENT BETTER
Phillip Fernandes' Condition Improves at Freedmen's Hospital
The condition of Phillip Fernandes, 26-year-old Howard University Medical School senior, which was declared critical last week, was announced as "quite improved" by physicians at Freedmen's Hospital, late this week.
Fernandes, former Bison track star, was seriously injured by an auto last Wednesday after leaving a grocery store at Georgia Avenue and Fairmont Street, Northwest. He sustained a fractured skull and internal injuries. His condition, very grave at first, has improved gradually and attending physicians expressed high bone for the medical student (Wednesday).
Robert D. Hancock, white, of the 1000 block of C Street, Northwest, driver of the machine, was apprehended several blocks from the scene of the accident and arrested at the Tenth Precinct. He was later released in the custody of his father pending the outcome of Fernandez's condition.

Colored Lawyer Fights to Keep White Girls Off Ga. Chain Gang
Attorney Suffers Abuses From Police When He Comes to Police Station to Represent Women Arrested For Distributing Leaflets
By Attorney John H. Geer
ATLANTIC, GA.—Everybody down in Georgia is watching with great interest the case of Annie Mae Loathens and Leah Young, two white women who were arrested here September 5th., for distributing leaflets to the textile workers.

Recorder Cone then promptly bound the girls over on the charge of circulating insurrectionary literature, which carries with it a penalty of 5 to 20 years.
I pointed out that there was no
As soon as the girls were arrested, I sued out a writ of habeas corpus, demanding their immediate release. But when I went to the Police Station to consult with the girls, I found that the police had secretly booked them on a charge of "disorderly conduct" and were trying to send them to the city stockade. The girls were then already in Recorder Cone's police court. I immediately called a police deputy and asked him to tell the girls to come over to consult with me. But before I could say another word, a policeman grabbed the girls and told them, "You can't talk to that nigger."
"Disorderly Conduct" Charge Foiled
I then asked permission to call Attorney Louis Tatham, young white lawyer associated with me in the case, but Recorder Cone ruled that the trial on disorderly conduct would proceed. During
DECLARE DANCE HALL MANAGERS CHARGE HIGH FEES
Claiming that managers of local dance halls and local orchestra leaders are charging social clubs extortion prices for the use of their floors and the service of their musical units, respectively, over 25 representatives of 15 District clubs met last week to device means of combating the high costs of promoting social affairs.
The gathering resulted in the formation of the Federation of Social Clubs of Washington and Leonard S. Jones, secretary of the Owl Club, elected president. The last meeting of the newly-formed organization was held at the home of O. G. Twyman, 213 T Street, Northwest.
Other officers named were Channey Brown, vice president; Mrs. Thelma Hopkins, secretary; Mrs. Louise Walton, assistant secretary; J. Walker, business manager; and Albert Sterling.

the discussion, all the policemen came up close to get a glimpse of that "dam black nigger."
Recorder Cone then promptly bound the girls over on the charge of circulating insurrectionary literature, which carries with it a penalty of 5 to 20 years.
I pointed out that there was no ground upon which they could be sent to the city stockade, and secondly that the hearing was called without notification of defense counsel.
This Recorder Cone is noted for his Negro-hating tactics. Once he fined a Negro woman because she demanded a white salesman call her "Mrs."
I am being constantly threatened by the Ku Klux Klan which is leavning leaflets entitled, "Community will not be tolerated," under my office door. Solicitor Rev. Hudson, who tried to send Angelo Herndon to the electric chair is triving to terrorize me out of the cases. But I'm sticking to the last! The frame-up of those girls is just another attempt to divide the Negro and white workers, and to drive them both under the oppression which they both south. suffer from the rich class in the
ALIMONY BEHIND MAN IS CITED IN COURT ORDER
Another of a long line of rules to show cause why James A. Carroll. Government Printing Office employee, should not be adjudged in contempt of court for failure to pay alimony obligations to his wife, Mrs. Beatrice Carroll, 901 North Patrick Street, Alexandria, Va., was issued Tuesday in the District Supreme Court.
Carroll was ordered to pay $50 monthly alimony to Mrs. Carroll following a hearing in the local Juvenile Court in August of 1983. The case was carried into the courts after Carroll is said to have left his wife in July of the same year. The separation is reputed to have occurred nine days prior to the birth of the youngest of several children. The order was signed by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue.
Married 20 Years
The Carrolls were married a little over 20 years ago. The eldest child is 17 years of age.
Since Mrs. Carroll was awarded the monthly stipend, payable in semi-monthly installments of $25, Carroll has been served with rules to show cause many times. On one occasion he was ordered arrested after he appeared to have adopted a siege of stubbornness. Four days later he made his payment and the order then prevailing was dismissed.
Mrs. Carroll is represented by Attorney George A. Parker who contends in his client's latest affidavit that Carroll is in arrears to the extent of $40.

A committee composed of Mrs. S. Clark, Miss O. Rose, Mrs. M. Stratton, Mrs. A. P. Moore, Mrs. M. Long, Mrs. T. McDowell, and Mrs. E. T.

One of the main features of’ the

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BULONG NEEDED,
SAYS WILINSON
That anew high school building
to accomodate students in divisions
10-13 is solely\ needed, was pointed
out by First Assistant. Superin-
tendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. this
week when he disclosed that there
is a surplus of 639 students in the
three high schools here.
At present there are six porta-
bles being used in colored schools
with five at Armstrong High
School. This school with @ capa-
city for 1.200 students is now’ ac-
comodating 1, 493. This school al-
so-has the the largest enroliment
of the three high schools in the
District.
19 Part-time Classes
|, Dunbar, with a capacity of 1
200, has ‘an enrollment. of 1,462.
Cardozo also is staggering under
fa load of 1,314 when its capacity
is 1,200, Of this number, 893 are
high school students and 421 are
attending elementary classes in
‘the ¢ame building. Mr, Wilkinson
pointed out that there are 19 part-
time classes in siored schools,
13 in the eleventh division and six
in the thirteenth division.
Northeast New Building
The greatet need for a high
school is in the northeast section
of the city, Mr. Wilkinson said,
There are over 800 students living
cast of Eighth Street who are
attending high school. A building
located on the government owned
property at Twenty-fourth Street
and Benning Road would eliminate
crowding and would-be more con-
venient to those students, it was
pointed out.
A separate high school for girls
has been discussed here from time
to time, but since Washington is
a co-educational center, the plan
has not been given serious consi-
dertion. There are those who favor
separate buildings for the sexes
and others oppose it,
However, the nearest “approach
to the separation of the sexes has
been in the two vocational schools.
The division. in these schools has
been for trade reasons, Large, ur-
ban ‘centers like New York and
Baltimore have separate high
schools, for boys and girls and the
plan is meeting with success,

TOSPPORT ANT
LYNCHING BL
NEW. YORK, — As Florida
perpetrated the 45th mob mur-
der since the inauguration of the
New Deal, with the advertised
lynching of Claude Neal of Green-
wood, President Roosevelt was
urged by the National Associa-

Anti-Lynching Bill and to make a
statement serving to check the
lynching wave.
‘The telegram sent by Walter

WIFEWOULD USE PHOTOS IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Estranged Husband Faces Evidence of Pictures with "Other Woman"
Asserting that she has pictures to show to the court of her husband and the "other woman" taken in intimate poses, Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, 1831 Vermon Street, Northwest, asked for a limited divorce from Howard Jackson, 1210 T Street, Northwest, in District Supreme Court, early this week. The petition was filed through Attorneys Armond W. Scott and Elwood G. Hubert. Five years of married life with the defendant are depicted in the original bill of Mrs. Jackson. They were married, according to her, in Baltimore, in January of 1930, shortly after which the pair moved to New York City where they lived for eight months.
On Rocks After Three Years
After they had been married three years, the petitioner states, her husband began staying out late at nights. Investigation disclosed that he was "going with another woman by the name of Ruth Clark," the complaint goes on. On occasions during an illness suffered by Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson declares, the Clark woman went to the house of her mother-in-law and there ministered to Mr. Jackson. Mrs. Jackson declares that she has been compelled to find employment in order to provide for herself and their two children. Her husband, she alleges, has given her only $5 since February toward support of the home. She works as a matron at the Washington Airport. She declares he is employed at Stoneleigh Court. The Jackson have two children, both minors.
Tribune Editorial Used as Classroom Topic
The Washington Tribune's editorial on the first anniversary of the New Negro Alliance which appeared in a recent issue, was used by the night school students of the Cardozo Junior High School as a topic for their current events period Monday night.
The editorial was introduced by James H. Lomax, a student at the school. Miss Atkins was the teacher in charge during the general discussion by the students.

Goodwin, general secretary of the Community Center, discussed the relationship of the church and recreation; and George W. Ryracw representing the New Negro Alliance, talked on the pastor and the economic life of a community.
Dr. S. A. T. Austin, Mary M. Jones, the Rev. S. A. Young; Arthur Brooks; the Rev. F. W. Alstork, pastor, and Mrs. Dorothy Brooks, who presided, also spoke briefly.
Negro Named For Lieutenant-Governor of California
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CNA)
The name of Pettis Perry, Negro, will appear on the ballot in the coming elections as candidate of the Communist Party and the running mate of Sam Darey (white) who has been named for Governor.
Perry was born in 1897, in Marion, Alabama, his parents being tenant-farmers. He began farm work at the age of seven. During the world war he worked at Hampton Roads, Virginia, U. S, Navy Base. After the war he worked for a cement company, and during the season in the watermelon and hay fields of Imperial Valley.
When the Scottsboro case began, Perry became active in the Scottsboro Defense Committee, and later was elected district organizer of the California district of the International Labor Defense.

DR. MOTON OFFERS RESIGNATION AS TUSKEGEE HEAD
(Continued from page 1) insistence of Dr. Moton and a just appreciation of his long years of effective and devoted public service, not only in the cause of education, but in many of the fields affecting the progress and welfare of our country, impel us to give his anouncement the most earnest consideration.
May Grant Request
"Whatever its final action, the board will count upon Dr. Moton's continued identification with the interests of Tuskegee Institute and the advancement of the Negro race in general in whatever ways shall be congenial to him and prolong his usefulness to his people and our country."
There is every indication that despite the trustees' admitted reluctance in accepting Dr. Moton's resignation, to take effect at the close of the current academic year, they will adhere to his wishes. He will be elected President Emeritus of Tuskegee Institute and available whenever his counsel is needed on matters of importance.
Will Continue to Serve Institute
Dr. Moton is quoted as saying he has no intention of entirely severing his connection with Tuskegee Institute, to whose interests and development he had devoted nineteen years of his life. In all likelihood he will give no little time and attention to enlarging the school's endowment fund. His advice will be given gladly whenever sought either by board or faculty. Mr. Moton's resignation is attributed to ill health.
Grand Exalted Ruler
Tosses Hat In Ring
NEW YORK CITY (NYN) — J. Finley Wilson, grand candidate ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. announced his candidacy for Congress in New York City in 1936, at the twenty-eighth anniversary of Pride of Newark Lodge, last Sunday. Mr. Wilson pointed to the political record of the State of New York as a proof of what could be done by Elks as individuals taking an interest in politics. He gave an account of the work he did in New York years ago for the purpose of arousing political consciousness. He said he felt certain that the Antlered Herd of New York will rally to his support in 1936.

Mass Action Frees New Orleans Unemployed Girl
NEW ORLEANS, La. — A demonstration of the power of mass action was given here last week when workers, answering the call of an International Labor Defense leaflet, packed the courtroom in which Ida Bates, leader of the unemployed, was to have been tried for disturbing the peace.
The charge was based on her leading workers to demand relief, as she has done many times before.
She has served four terms, and it is alleged that she has been located by the police who ar called by the ERA in each instance.

Praises Second Choir of John Wesley A.M.E.
Zion Church.
To the Editor:
The second choir of John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church deserves much credit, and commendation for the splendid and valuable service it has rendered during the vacation of the senior choir.
It has been a source of great help to the services, and an inspiration to all. This choir is a well organized group; it has about forty voices, under the direction of Miss Lauville Mills, organist of the church.
Sunday evening, October 14, it closed its work for the season, in a service of song, presenting a difficult program, which was very well done. Among the numbers were "Fear Not O Israel" (Spicker.) "Sanctus" (Gounod); Detts's "I'll Never Turn Back," and "O. Hear the Lams A' Crying."
The climax of the program was "Gallia" (Gounod); the rendition of "Gallia" was especially well done with Miss Evelyn Harley, a pupil of the Conservatory of Music Howard University, as solist; she possesses a splendid soprano voice, which was heard to fine advantage in "Gallia."
The chorus work was well balanced; the attacks, phrasing, shading, and diction, were well brought out.
Another outstanding number of the program, was a solo by Virgil Hamilton, haritone, who sang "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings, Mrs. Sadie Hoffer Hamilton accompanied him, Miss Mills is a very ambitious young musician, an earnest hard working student; she is a senior in the conservatory of music, Howard University; much credit should be given her, for the work she is doing with these young singers. George Williams is president of the choir.
Has Good Intentions, But It Doesn't Alter the Fact that $30 a Month is Starvation Wages.
To the Editor:
I am writing you in reference to an article published in your paper week ending October 20.
In the article which is headed "Dearth of Housemaids," you used Mr. Carl C. Lippas as an example to how the Negro maids are being worked long hours with little pay.
Being an employee of Mr. Lipp I must say that some one has the wrong idea of Mr. Carl C. Lipp and I want to let my whole race know that although Carl C. Lipp is white, he is forever trying to plan some way that he can help improve the progress of the Negro.
Mr. Lipp, understanding the number of girls on the relief roll decided to make a home for one of them and if every white person or colored person who could afford it would do as Carl C. Lipp did then the employment trouble would soon end.
I personally know that he really did not need a maid and that there is nothing hardly to do at his home, he only thought that he was helping some poor girl who would like a nice home for the winter and was willing to earn an honest living.
Color means nothing to C. C. Lipp for his daily talk is the progress of the Negro race.

Asks New Deal for Virgin Islanders Be Dealt By Own Kith and Kin
To the Editor:
In a recent issue of the press there appeared a letter by one Alonzo Moron. In that letter he proceeds to take the press and other "troublemakers" to task for their criticism of the present administration of the Virgin Islands. Without characterizing the communication further than by saying that it was merely a self-serving document, issued by one who has a strong personal interest in the continuation of the present administration. I shall pass on to matters of larger consideration.
I have in recent months become tremendously interested in the Virgin Islands, and in consequence thereof I have followed practically everything that has appeared in both the daily papers and our own Negro papers.
Those connected with the present administration of the Islands may shout from the house tops to the contrary, but it is apparent even to the most casual observer that all is not well with Gov. Pearson and his policies. There isn't hardly a week which passes but that some news of some disturbance or removal of some official is not carried in our daily papers, the most recent report being the riot which occurred just prior to the departure of the ousted Yates. These disturbances are naturally irritating to our thinking people. Whatever the causes, the Islands are not getting the maximum out of what the Government is providing for them.
This writer holds no brief for any southerner who is kicking up mischief in a guise of being a friend of the natives, for he fears the Greeks the they come bearing gifts. But certain it is, that an administration which consistently refuses to give Negroes recognition in the higher brackets of administrative positions, is not giving the native that psychological urge and stimulus that could be given by the larger use of trained Negroes, native or mainlanders.
It is to be hoped that Negroes everywhere will rally behind the move which is fairly crystallizing to seek for the Islands a New Deal shuffled by people of our own kith and kin.
LIEBWITZ QUITS SCOTTSBORO CASE
From St. Louis (Mo.) Argus
Reports have it that Samuel Liebowitz, chief council of the Scottsboro boys, has withdrawn from the case. The reason given by Mr. Liebowitz, based upon our information, is he is "definitely out of the picture unless the LLD, ceases its methods and activities in the case." This action on the part of Mr. Liebowitz presents a rather sad picture of the position in which these boys have been held since their incarceration more than three years ago. Mr. Liebowitz expresses, almost word for word, what hundreds of interested persons have said regarding this case, that the methods used by the LLD., could not possibly help the cause of the boys even though it has the most brilliant legal defense which it could possibly secure.
With some hesitancy however, we mention that in these columns we stated, from the outset, that had these boys' parents and their advisors secured such council as the venerable lawyer, Clarence Darrow, the interest of the case would have been enhanced by a hundred per cent.
We hope that future events will take place in such a way that Mr. Liebowitz will not be

WILSON THREATENS TO REMOVE
ELKS' CONVENTION
Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson threatens to hold the grand lodge
session of Elks in some other city unless the two local lodges agree to accept
his selection, Dr. Charles Fisher, as general chairman of the entertainment
committee.
The coming of the Elks to any city residents of the community where the residents of the community where the convention is held. Washington has not had a convention in many years. It was slated to be held here in 1932, but difficulties arose which caused the grand exalted ruler to hold the session in Atlantic City. It is hoped that the head of the Elks' order and the two lodges may soon iron out their difficulties and the matter settled for the convention to be held here next August.
After all, the Elks are bigger than any individual or group of individuals and more is at stake than a general chairman. Thousands of Washingtonians are anxious for the session to be held here in the Capital City. Washington is a typical convention city and thousands will be afforded the opportunity to visit the nation's capital during the convention.
Since Mr. Wilson and the grand lodge are responsible for the welfare of the order and the expenses incurred during the session it is to the advantage of all concerned that he should appoint a committee that is in harmony with the principles of Elkdom. Besides the constitution gives him the power to appoint a general chairman and committee to work with him in making the session a success.
NEEDY HERE CHOOSE BREAD
Between bread and milk, Washington's thousands on relief choose bread. Well-intentioned relief officers and the District Commissioners say the needy here need milk and in trying to provide this necessary food an attempt is being made to supply Washington's needy with milk at ten cents a quart. Dairies agreed to reduce the price of milk to relief families and all was in readiness to deliver milk to the thousands here, but the hitch came when the families claimed they can't afford to drink milk at any price because the money will come from their relief budgets and the little they get leaves nothing for milk. They would rather have more bread.
Less than a dozen families agreed to purchase milk out of the funds that they receive for the necessities if life. To give the needy here this vital food an added sum should be provided for milk rather than force those who are now receiving a mere pittance to sacrifice any of that amount.
WHAT IS CRIME?
J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Department of Justice, according to the New York Mirror, stated that he nor his department are interested in lynching. The recent Alabama-Florida lynching brings that particular crime directly before the Department of Justice because of the kidnapping which took place, when the victim was taken from a prison in one state, carried into and lynched in another state. The Lindbergh Kidnapping Law covers this affair—if the law means anything. Without the kidnapping phase, lynching is murder, and murder is a crime whether it is individual or mass. How can a branch of the government that is definitely assigned to fight crime, wink its eye at certain kinds of major crime?
If the New York paper quoted Mr. Hoover correctly he will have to do a lot of explaining to the powers that be—or will he
THE SCOTTSBORO SQUABBLE
It is unfortunate that several groups are using the Scottsboro boys as a football. Two sets of statements have reached The Tribune this week, one allegedly coming from Mr. Leibowitz, former International Labor Defense attorney who has been dismissed from the case by the I.L.D. and another from—or will he? Both Mr. Leibowitz and the I.L.D. claim they represent the boys and both claim that they have signed statements from the youths who are facing death in Alabama. Of course, the boys are the ones who will suffer from this petty jealousy and they will be the ones to lose.
Matters not how well we build our prison houses our prisoners will not stay put until we put better material in building the keepers.

Kelly Miller Discusses
The resolutions adopted setting forth fundamental principles will stand out as perhaps the most important political document which has ever been issued from any organization of colored men. It stands out as the declaration of political emancipation. It sets forth the doctrine that must furnish the guiding principle of political action.
"What has become of the National Negro Non-Partizan League which sprung up with such flare of trumpets three years ago?" is a reasonable and expected query. But to make the inquiry complete another query should be yoked with it: "What has become of the once flourishing National Negro Republican League?"
The Nor-Partizan League was organized in December 1981 under the inspiration and leadership of Congressman Oscar DePriest. Its main object was to wean the Negro voter from his one-sided traditional dependence and point out the wisdom of voting for men, measures and movements best calculated to serve the race and the nation.
Overtures were made to the Republican and Democratic National Committees through their chief representatives, Senator Simeon Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Mr. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee. Senator Fess's response was equivocal and unconvincing. Mr. Shouse was more direct and forthright, and proffered his good offices in bringing our request to the full committee. Political exigencies of an embarrassing character arose in the meantime so that the matter was never adequately presented to either committee during he national conventions.
CONGRESSMAN DePRIEST
FATHER TO THE IDEA
When the campaign got well underway, Congressman DePriest resigned from the presidency of the league to devote his chief political energies to his own reelection and to the cause of the Republican organization. The league was thus bereft of its founder and dynamic leader. I was impressed into acceptance of the presidency ad interim.
Mr. DePriest left his political children at my doorsteps. As foster father I did the best I could. Members of the executive committee deserted the movement and reverted to their first political love. The organization was left on my hands with no funds, political experience, and no enthusiastic colleagues on the official staff. I carried on as best I could in the spirit of the aim and ideal of the movement.
My efforts were confined wholly to the press. I contributed a weekly column to most of the leading Negro publications on the issue of the campaign. The tenor of my articles led to the support of the Democratic rather than the Republican candidate on the patriotic and race loyal grounds that the Democratic candidate and platform seemed better calculated to benefit the race and the nation.
How influential my preachments were I am unable to say. However the voters acted in harmony with its principles. It is generally conceded that the colored vote split in two comparable parts in the last election. In the approaching election it now appears that the larger portion by far will follow the fortunes of the party in power. Roughly speaking one would say that those over fifty, voted for past glory that was the G.O.P. Those under fifty followed the gleam of teh new light. Who can quarrel with the older generation for adhering to the party which gave the race freedom, citizenship and the franchise? But the younger issue that gained its political experience under Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover will not be guided by the traditions which captivated their elders. Since the older half of the generation must decrease while the younger half must increase, it is easy to predict our racial affiliation of the future.
While the National Non-Partisan League has ceased to function as an organization yet the residuum of its impulse still moves forward. The resolutions adopted setting forth fundamental principles will stand out as perhaps the most important political document which has ever been issued from any organization of colored men. It stands out as the declaration of political emancipation. It sets forth the doctrine that must furnish the guiding principle of political action.
DECLARATION OF POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE
Henceforth the Negro must not look for whatever political salvation there may be in store for him to the North, South, East or West, Republican or Democratic party, but like the kingdom of heaven, his salvation lies within himself.
Partizan political division is only skin-deep—never race deep. Relatively of numbers constitutes the political discriminant. Where the Negro's numbers are small, his political privileges are unrestricted, but where they are large his restriction grows severe.
The Democrats of the North are every whit as favorable to the political rights of the race as are the Republicans of that section. On the other hand, the white Republicans of the South (Lily Whites, all) are just as intolerant as the Southern Democrats.
If the race gains its constitutional prerogatives under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, it will be through propitiation of local sentiment, and not by outside compulsion.
A politically solid minority in a democracy not only places itself in a dangerous position but is a standing menace to the whole people. This applies to the solid Negro as well as to the solid South. Such are the doctrines laid down by the National Non-Partizan League which were valid not only for the campaign for 1932, but equally so for 1934, 1936, and for many campaign yet to come.
I know that comparisons are odious, but it will heighten one's appreciation of this organization to contrast it with the harum-scarcum harangues of its then rival, the National Negro Republican League. Who among its upholders would not now willingly forget the knuckle close faith in a decadent party which it tried to inculcate? It would have the Negro place its sole dependence on a prop which has since given way.
forced to withdraw from this case. He has made a strong defense and is familiar with every legal phase of the question. Therefore, there will be a greater calamity if Mr. Liebowits withdraws, and we hope that he does not.

Well, another Halloween has come and gone and I presume at this moment some unlucky person is lodged in jail because he or she carried the celebration a trifle too far. But John Law is that way. He appoints a certain day for Mr. Citizen to put on a false face and make a complete fool of himself and the following day carries him before the judge and place a fine against him for having too good a time.
U Street is one street that one can rest assured that he will be amused on Halloween night. It is a place to see any thing from Mickey Mouse to Mac West.
Halloween, in Washington, is carried out on a more elaborate scale than the average large southern city. To my knowledge, there is only one Dixie celebration that surpasses it—New Orleans' great Mardi Gras, where millions are spent in honor of Rex and his queen. People from all over the nation journey there to witness the sight. When one sees it he never forgets the treat. (I had better stop here for I am intruding on Mr. Lawrence Hayes's territory. I will let him have the privilege of telling about that celebration in his fair city, New Orleans, La.

I'll never forget the time I attended my last Halloween dance. This happened to me back in 1928 when I was in high school in Galveston, Texas. I, like the majority of the boys, had a girl that I considered my sweetheart. This girl, so I thought, only cared for me and being a boy of no experience in the love game, I thought it was useless for any of the fellows to "roll" me. But one day a trusty friend assured me that I was not the "only one." I became jealous and decided to catch my sweetie red-handed and the annual Halloween party at the school was just the chance. I made it known that I would have to work that night and by no means would I attend the dance. The girl friend fell for the line and everything was set.
About eleven o'clock that Halloween night a long-legged fully masked clown walked into the crowded auditorium of the school and immediately eyed his girl friend talking to his supposed rival. The clown was me.
I made two or three long strides toward my girl to spring the surprise and give her the "air." Before I could get half way to where they were seated the girl friend jumped up and ran to me saying "Oh Harold, I am so glad you decided to come. You are just in time for this dance."

The old saying that "bread toasted upon the waters will return" seems to prove a fact even with the administration here. Some months ago Sylvester Harris, a farmer from the backwoods of Columbus, Miss., was about to lose his home and land. He did not know what to do. From some source he learned that the President at Washington had made it possible for land holders to get mortgage loans from the government. He gambled his last ten dollars on a phone call to the President of the United States and got immediate results from his plea over the wire.
Today Mr. Roosevelt's bread is returning to him on the waters. Mr. Harris arrived at Chicago this week to wage war on the Republican. He is going to fight Representative Oscar DePriest for his adopted party. "Certainly I am a democrat." Mr. Harris told his hearers at Chicago when he alighted from his train. "Mr. Roosevelt did me a favor and now I am going to help him. All I got to do is tell the people what happened. There is no President in the Republican Party that ever did what Roosevelt did."
The Young People's . . .
Sunday Forum
By "Chick" Webb
For the past three weeks I have been virtually selling the Young People's Sunday Forum to the youth of Washington. I am still optimistic enough to believe that we have been in the District of Columbia, a certain element of young, militant and thinking Negroes who are serious minded enough to spend two hours each Sunday afternoon (from 4 to 6 p.m.) in attending a lively, and highly interesting program that will provide considerable amount of inspiration and food for thought for ambitious and earnest young leaders. The three meetings that have past have left the audiences considerably impressed by the potentialities and possibilities of a movement such as the Young People's Sunday Forum actually is. If the young people of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York can successfully conduct youthful organizations, must it be finally admitted that the youth of the District of Columbia lack the backbone and initiative to accomplish the same thing? Banish the thought! I know that all of my young readers who peruse this column weekly will bear out the confidence and faith that I have in them by attending in large numbers, the Sunday afternoon meetings that are held at the Twelfth
THE CHARACTER
EDUCATION
EXPERIMENT
By G. C. Wilkinson
First Assistant Superintendent
Divisions 10-13
The Character Education Experiment for the public schools of the District of Columbia was inaugurated as a result of legislation by Congress at the last session on the recommendation of Senator Copeland, of New York. Senator Copeland's interest in this project grew immediately out of his investigations of crime and racketeering in America. His investigation, for instance, showed that the 18-year old boy and girl furnished the largest part of persons incarcerated in the penitentiaries of America, and that the 19-year old boy and girl furnished the second largest number.
Senator Copeland gathered about him a number of local educators from the universities and public school system, and the conference decided to request the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education of Washington, D.C., to inaugurate a Character Education experiment in the schools of Washington. The City of Washington was chosen because the Superintendent and the Board of Education were enthusiastic about the proposition. They felt that the teachers of Washington had been working upon a character education program for nearly five years. The conference felt that Washington was a strategic point to establish such an experiment, the hope being that its success here might be a fine example for other public school systems.
Congress Appropriates Money
Congress appropriated about $70,000 for this experiment for the first year. The experiment will run for at least three years. The first step in the program was the establishment of an institute for a three-week period beginning June 25, 1934. This institution was attended by 28 officers of the school system, including the Superintendent, the assistant superintendents, presidents of teachers colleges, and the principals and assistant principals of the schools concerned in the experiment. Dr. W. W. Charters, expert in character education, conducted the institute.
Ten schools were associated with the project—five white and five colored. In Divisions 10-13 the following schools are experimental centers: elementary, Morgan Demonstration School; vocational, Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School for Girls; junior high, Randall Junior High School; senior high, Armstrong High School; night high, Cardozo Night High School.
The institute differentiated the Character Education experiment from the usual school program in two particulars—first, in establishing ten areas of experience for exploration by pupils in contrast to the more restricted areas usually followed by public schools, and set up for each of these areas certain outcomes to be achieved. The areas of experience are health activities, intellectual activities, economic activities, vocational activities, political activities, recreational activities, sex, parenthood, and family life, social activities, aesthetic activities, religious activities.
The second differentiation was the establishment of a wider range of ideals and behavior patterns than usually observed in the public schools. This range of ideals covers the following: intelligence, honesty, friendliness, efficiency, cooperativeness, froceffulness, good taste.
Wide Range of Patterns
In addition, the institute set up certain principles for the guidance of the school administration. The emphasis throughout the program will be upon individual instruction. At this time we are not in position to predict what will be the result of this experiment. The approach will be entirely scientific and the school administration and teachers will keep open minds. We hope, however, to accomplish two specific things—(1) the establishment of a thoroughgoing character education program for the public schools of Washington, and (2) demonstration of how such a program might be carried at the lowest possible cost to the tax payers.
Street Branch Y.M.C.A, each Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. No admission or collection is asked of anyone—and the programs are of definite appeal and interest to all serious-minded Negroes.
WARNING
Gangster killings are blots upon our civilization. Americans are the only victims of this curse. European nations with all of their internal troubles harbor no band of killers.
But the patience of American citizens and enforcement officers is just about exhausted. The plea for a Devils island comes too late. Gangsters might just as well know—the handwriting is on the wall. Henceforth, government enforcement agencies will be burdened with but few trials for bad men. They have learned that certain types of criminals are not to be trusted at any stage of the game. They are not worth taking chances with. Dead bandits cause no worry.
Our Government has a problem to solve. No one knows the answer just now. Not even the President, but why should he worry. His time is up in four years. Our problem is who will repay the money the Government is spending? Roosevelt says "I may not choose to answer unless you re-elect me, and then I may tell you to find out for yourself." Poor property owners, if by that time there be private ownership!

A "NEW DEAL" NURSERY RHYME
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
There's a government agent counting your corn.
Another one's lecturing the old red sow,
On the number of pigs she can have and how.
Pa's gone to town to find out what
He can do next year with the old meadow lot.
Ma's at the radio, hearing them tell,
How under the New Deal there ain't no hell.
Aunt Mame is in Washington dragging down pay,
From the PDQ or the AAA.
The hired man quit when the job didn't please,
And got him a job trimming government trees.
They'll be telling you soon if you don't take care,
Where you can live and what you can wear.
How much you must pay for your pants and your shoes.
So this is no time to be taking a snooze.

U Street “Bright Lights Block”
was crowded with literature-lovers
the past week, all anxious to see
the beautiful ' Elizabeth Barrett-
Browning romance that was be-
ing reenseted at the Republic
Theatre. Got a glimpse of Misses
Mary Burrill and Lucy Slowe,
Judge Cobb, Drs. Ferrebee and
Ferrbee, Attorney and Mrs. George
Hayes and too many more to men-
tion.
Policeman Carlton B. Norris nf
Newark, N. J. and Mr. Buck (not
the “Bring ’em back alive” one
but a (Brooklyn Buck) ran into
the Capital recently on business
and to visit a relative, Mrs. Ella
N. Sparks of 319 Fourth Street,
Southeast. Mr. Norris was minus
his uniform, of course. It is said
that in Kalamazoo, Timbuctoo or
some other such niace there was
a policeman who was s0 goodlook-
ing that he had to chew (not gum
or even tobacco) but onions to
keep feminine passers-by from
stopping to #sk him questions.
Now Mr. Norris is handsome in
his own right, and when he adds
a uniform, why it wouldn't sur-
prise me at all if he had to crunch
all day on garlic to keep pretty
quizzers away. (Sorry to say 60,
girls, but there's a she in the
story already, or rather two of
them) for in addition to the Mrs.
there's the couple's dainty daugh-
ter.
The sweet strains from & grand
piano that came to you over Sta-
tion WOL last Friday at 1:30 p.m,
were furnished by the _ effcient
fingers of Mr. Thomas Glenn of
Randolph Place, Northwest.
A new feather for Mr. J. Finley
Wilson's cap (that is if his cap
ean hold another) for appealing
to the President and the Attorney
General in the matter of that
horrible Florida affair.
Quite an eye-arresting outfit was
the one worn by Miss, Rhetta
Beldon of 43 R Street, as she
stepped upon the Union, Station
platform after a week-end visit
to New York, Miss Beldon is wear-
ing her hair a new way these days
(very becoming tco) and with a
brown crepe dress, a brown Lapin
jacket, a snapy, matching hat that
boasted a cute’ little green-brown
birdie, and a fetching nosegay at
her neck, «the tall, slim, smiling
lady looked very smart indeed.
When Washington calls the roll
of its “comedy queens” it will be
a shame if @ certain little Second
Street body doesn’t quickly answer
“Here”, Mrs. Edna French, I
| mean). She was scheduled to ap-
| pear on a program sponsored by
the Women’s Auxiliary to the
Postal Employees’ Union a week
or so ago. The president of the
organization, Mrs. Roya] W. Bailey
was mistress of ceremonies (lovely
he was too in a dress of pink, all
lace be-trimmed) and when she
called Mrs. French's name there
was no response at all. Only a
long, awkard pause. Finally some
restless soul behind me whispered
(or rather thought she whispered)
right out loud “It’s funny how
these funny people think it's
funny to disappoint,” But she had
hardly said the words when she
began to wish she hadn't. For at
that new moment little Mrs, French
was gathering up “the | twins”
(ife-sized dolls) and rushing out
to face the footlights, I've quite
forgotten the subject of her num-
ber, but it was something or other
bout naming “Daughter Sally's
‘Twins.” Garbed like an old grand-
mother and with a twin in each
of her arms funny Mrs. French
proceeded at once to name the
twins. She passed uv “Nicodemus”,
j"Ammonia” and “Jezebel”, “Un-
expected” and “Judas” too, and
| had us holding both our “mides
when she told the reason why. But
| by the time she vetoed “I will A-
| vise” and “This is the end Emma-
‘line? the woman behind me was
having hysterics, Maybe I had a
fit myself, for T cannot now re-
call the names that French wo-
man gave the twins. But I do know
that when a vote comes up for
laugh-begetters, mine will go for

peace of mind by piling up tre-
mendous scores: Miss Olga Hut-
chins of Sixth Street (about whom
pretty things are being said) lend-
ing color to the rumor by selecting
a house hold item for her prize.
Demure, dark-haired Mrs. Philip
Thomas of V Street; Mrs. Bertha
Chase taking, home prize No. 1,
just_as you and I expected her
to do. Miss Willie Brown in a
clever knit red dress brightened
attractively by white accessories.
Mrs. Bertha Anderson of the
Teachers’ College in hlue and ever
so sweet, even when a certain bum
news scribe brought her own score
way down and Mrs. Anderson's
with it.
There were plenty of good
things to eat in the basement and
nobody lost any time but rushed
pell-meli to the cellar.
A friend of Mr. and Mrs. George
Cunningham sent a note about
the couple to the Prattler’s desk
(the thing she calls her desk, I
mean), Thanks, dear reader, for
the tip, I'm not so fortunate as
you, in’ that I do not have the
dleasuye of the Cunningham ac-
quaintance. Here’s hoping we meet
sometime. Anyway, all of us are
glad that Mr. Cunningham is no
longer on the sick list and that
his wife whom you say looks as
if she just stepped from the fash-
ion sheet Vogue, is still her same
attractive, slender self. They were
seen at the Lincoln Theatre the
other day, both attired in brown.
She with a “brown Dobb's hat
perched saucily on her red hair
which she wears in the “Ann
Harding” style.”
A charming newcomer to town
is Mrs. Wilfred Salvant. Mr, and
Mrs, Salvant motored from St.
Paul Minn, to Washington a week
or so ago, and their educated car
kept itself in ship-shape order un-
til it got directly in front of a D.
€. garage when a couple of tires
went flat, Mr, Salvant’s work
takes him out’ of town quite fre-
quently and among those who have
been helping Mrs salvant while
the hours away are Mr. and Mrs.
Harold Dedeaux of Gresham Place
and Miss Leona Boyd of Eleventh
Street. The Salvants are at 43
R Street, Northwest.

Now that Halloween is over, we are stire that you are waiting for
a report of the activities which held the attention of the social group
of the city. ds
Perhaps it is the proper thing to start with the beautiful party
given by Miss Valerie Turner at her most attractive home, 1328 Mon-
tello Avenue.
.+ The rooms were attractively decorated in colors suggestive of Hal-
loween. The side lights througheut the house were covered with weird
faces showing up the eyes, nose and mouth. At various places forms
of witches, cats and Halloween novelties appeared which added to the
weird atmosphere of the occasion. Favors, consisting of horns, rattles
and whistles were given out at intermission which made the evening
ven more pleasurable. Everything was done to make the guests com
fortable and agreeable. Before the final lowering of the curtain or
this enjoyable affair the guests were ushered downstairs to a mos'
appetizing Halloween repast. Everyone left with a word of commen:
dation and congratulation to the hostess who had contributed so grace
jously to a most wonderful and rare evening of pleasure.

jamas, aprons and sunbonnets: the
men will wear overalls, blue shirts
and wide brimmed hats. ‘The hall

stacks, harness, wagon-wheels and
cornstalks. Are you listening?
Will you be there?’ Of course you
will, looking all farmerish. See
you,
Wednesday night, the 28th, the
Chi Delta Mu will hold forth." Ar-
rangements are being made daily
and invitations point to the best
dance yet given. Many visitors
will be in town of course and will

gregation .

A & P Stores Seek Life of Early Days
To many an old-timer the 75th anniversary of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company recalls the life and times of half and even three-quarters of a century ago.
Many letters come in to the company's offices expressing nostalgia for the days when the stores were decorated with "China scenes," when eight and even twelve horse teams of matched Percherons attended the opening of new stores, and a week's supply of tea was delivered to outlying customers in little red wagons, when bric-a-brac and crockery were won after weeks and months of premium hoarding, and when chromos were given away with a pound of tea. These letters of half a century ago have a double appeal today. The quaint customs of the past are news to the younger generation, and to the old-timers they furnish pleasant memories of the past.
A spry young man of eighty-five remembers the original store, and coming in from New Jersey to trade there. Another remembers putting up the Chinese scenes on the walls of the first store at 504 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa, in 1887. Around his head rages a storm of dispute. His faction stoutly maintains that these scenes with their half-life size figures of Chinamen carrying trays, of tea houses, little bridges and the like were printed on paper in China and came folded up in tea chests. The opposition equally stoutly maintains these murals were painted by imaginative local artists. Who in Washington can rise to settle this question?
Already scores of letters from old-timers have come in, helping to roll back the mists of time that enshroud the early days of the company. A & P hopes for even more that will shed light on the life and times of the 1860's, 70's and 80's.

BEST. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
SAYS DR. CLARK'S REMOVAL STILL LEAVES JIM CROW
Transfer of Negro Adviser Does Not Solve Governmental Segregation
In a statement to the Tribune this week, Miss Gretchen McRae, who has been fighting segregation in government circles, stated that the removal of Dr. Clark Foreman, advisor on Negro affairs, Department of Interior, and the appointment of Dr. Robert Weaver, does not remove the stigma of segregation from the so-called special setup.
Miss McRae Says:
"I am glad Dr. Clark Foreman has been removed for propagating and advocating for segregation. He was a wealth of evidence and proof against him. His own job as adviser on Negro affairs was the most eloquent witness against him, for while he protested that there was no segregation, he could not inspire confidence among the governmental design of his job declared the contrary.
"A review of his work shows that the chief help he was willing to render colored people was under the backward policy of segregation which he enunciated in the beginning.
Does not Change Setup
But "placing Dr. Foreman by a colorman in no way changes the policy of segregation" is not a criminal examination complied of. For a colored man can infringe on your constitutional rights the same as a white man.
There is the same segregated set-up for colored people in the workplace and Dr. Foreman's removal, and that is the discriminatory job itself, the kind of job that depends upon imposing on other people's constitutional rights for its very existence.
Additional Handicap
"There is this additional handicap now. The case has been argued and the points elucidated in the public press, and the encumbent takes the job with his eyes wide."
He knows now that this set-up and his job take the affairs of colored people out of the main and therefore preferable shamus and shunts them into an isolated and proscribed channel, which so far as administration goes, is nothing but a segregated bog.
"He knows that for the sake of being an adviser he unlawfully curbs the freedom of other employees, and tends to lower the status before the government of other citizens. If he as adviser has not a higher program or outlook to offer colored citizens, he is not in the ideals and wisdom, and are demanding to press forward.
Rests on Ickes
"But the chief responsibility for the whole matter rests upon Mr. Ickes because he has continually strengthened the policy, hurriedly initiated conferences, the outcome of which extended these segregated units in the other departments, and he has continually strengthened the policy of segregation rather than break it down." He has also testified of colored people, and refused to clear up these discriminations, but has engrated the worst features of the old deal on the new deal, he has been unfaithful not to the new administration, but unfaithful to the old administration, his office should have protected and helped, and unfaithful to the principles of equality and justice for 15,000,000 colored citizens.
HOWARD GRADUATE GETS FERA POST
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, announced today the appointment of Fred Minnis, A.B., M.A., of Howard University, Washington, as assistant research librarian of the FERA. This is the first recognition of this character that has come to the race since the passing of Daniel Murray who served in a similar capacity at the Congressional Library for 42 years. Administrator Hopkins in designating Minnis did so on the recommendation of Mrs. Ellen Commons, FERA librarian and alumna of Wisconsin University and the New York school of Social Work.
Miss Hilda Smith, specialist in workers education; Mrs. Amber Warbark, director of the Atlanta Training Center in Workers Education; and Dr. Abraham Harris, Harvard scholar, now head of the economics department of Howard University, under whom Minnis did his graduate work, each gave insements of this young librarian to Administrator Hopkins. Fred Minnis was appointed as one of the teachers in the Atlanta School for Negro Women following the training center last summer and made an excellent record as a teacher in that school.

WILKINSON TELLS OF CHARACTER EDUCATION
The social attitudes of the child, and not knowledge of subject matter, should be the ultimate goals of education, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, of the District, told students of "Miner Teachers College last week.
Mr. Wilkinson spoke on the origin and purpose of the character education theory now being conducted in ten public schools here.
"The experiment seeks to furnish the child with a wider area of experience than that commonly afforded in schools," he stated. "The education of the child is desired not only for the effect upon the child, but also for the effort upon the social life and community welfare."
The experiment, which began as an outcome of the Copeland investigation of crime in America, is limited to two schools of each type in the District, and is financed by a Congressional grant of $70,000.
"An extensive program has been worked out for the guidance of the experiment," the speaker declared, and criteria evolved for testing the results of the work. If the experiments can be shown to be a success in Washington, it is hoped that the idea will spread to schools throughout the nation. A special article by Mr. Wilkinson appears on the editorial page of this paper, which gives in detail what the new plan is.
Mystery of Rev. Wormley's Favorite Dog Still Unsolved
The mystery of the brown and white Shepherd dog, belonging to the Rev. Leon S. Wormley, 505 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, was still unsolved early this week. As the story goes, the Rev. Mr. Wormley's favorite canine strayed from his home last week. He solicited the aid of police in the search for the animal. A man, who failed to give his name but told persons at the Wormley home that he lived in the 500 block of Twelfth Street, came to the house Saturday and stated that he found the missing dog. He nor the animal have been seen or heard of since, however, and police are again lending a hand in the search.

Freedmen's Hospital is Largest Negro Staffed Institution In U.S.
Dr. Wm. A. Warfield Has Been Hospital Head For 33 Years
From a "green" country boy to the head of the largest hospital in the country with a staff of all Negro physicians, is the record of Dr. William A. Warfield, superintendent and surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital.
Dr. Warfield observed his 33rd year as head of the hospital October 1. On November 17 he will celebrate his birthday (which one, he refuses to say).
Born in the little village of Hyattstown, Montgomery County, Md., where he worked on the farm and attended the country school, he came to Washington as a youth and started to work as a bell boy in the old Hamilton House, Fourteenth and K Streets.
Worked as Bell Boy
Before working at the hotel he had never seen or heard an electric bell. After a few years he succeeded in earning enough to enter Morgan College in Baltimore. On reaching Baltimore he took stock of his savings which amounted to $20.25. Of this amount he paid a boy 25 cents to direct him to the college. After registering he was required to deposit the remaining $20 for board and tuition. However, he was soon at work doing odd jobs about the school, chopping wood and cleaning buildings. He earned enough at this work to continue his studies. He was at Morgan five years. At the present time he is a member of the board of trustees of the school.
On leaving Morgan he entered Howard University where he graduated from the Medical School in 1894 and the same year he was an intern at Freedman's Hospital. The second year he was made second assistant. In 1896 he was appointed first assistant and in 1901 he was placed in charge of the institution. The hospital has 66 physicians on its staff and 27 interns. Dr. T. Edward Jones is first assistant, and Dr. Lawrence Jackson, second. The hospital which is on a plot consisting of 11 acres has a total of 179 employees including 90 stu-

Mr. Scruggs stated that there will be 32,000,000 people in heaven and 16,000,000 rooms to accommodate them. There will be six streets and twelve gates, each of pearl. Heaven will be 6,000 miles square, he said, and all persons winning their way there will be one of twelve denominations which will be

Hospital Recognized
Freedmen's is recognized by the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association, two of the most outstanding medical associations in the world. The Nurses Training School is rated in Class A and other departments of the hospital have met the exacting requirements of other medical groups.
The hospital has 330 beds besides 40 additional beds for babies. Despite this it is unable to meet all of the demands on account of lack of beds.
Outgrowth of War
Freedmen's Hospital is an outgrowth of the Civil War, springing from the Freedmen's Bureau, and had for its object the care of refugees who came to Washington following the war.
In 1862, Dr. Daniel Breed called the attention of the Secretary of War to the necessity of providing some place where the sick could be treated. Authority was obtained to open a hospital in some rooms on Capitol Hill. Subsequently, this work was moved to Thirteenth and S Streets, Northwest, known as Camp Barker. During 1864 it was moved to Fourteenth and M Streets.
Mr. Scruggs exhibited a map drawn which showed the position of all streets, the Rainbow, God Christ, and the twelve apostles.

While crossing T Street near Seventh Street, Northwest, Louise Wright, 34, 640 W Street, Northwest, was struck and knocked down by a Ford coupe driven by Wesley Loren, 28, white, of the 300 block of Ogelhorne Street, Northwest. Loren made a left, hand turn into T Street from Seventh. The woman suffered lacerations of the body.

Northwest. In 1865 it was transferred to the buildings known as Campbell Hospital, located in LeDroit Park.
Bureau Established
By the Act of March 3, 1865, Congress established a Bureau under the War Department for the relief of Freedmen and Refugees (13 Stat. 507), on the farm of a Mr. Smith at Fifth and W Streets, Northwest.
The Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1871 (16 Stat. 506) carried an appropriation for the support of Freedmen's Hospital and Asylum under the War Department.
Under Secretary of Interior
The Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1874 (18 Stat. 223) provided that the Freedmen's Hospital, until otherwise ordered by Congress, shall be continued under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior.
By the 1st of August 5, 1892 (27 Stat. 373) the appropriation made for the support of Freedmen's Hospital, one-half was made payable out of the Treasury of the United States and one-half out of the revenues of the District of Columbia.
New Building Completed
The Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1905 (35 Stat, 1190) authorized the Secretary of the Interior to enter contract with the Board of Charities of the District of Columbia for the care and treatment of persons from the District of Columbia admitted to the Freedmen's Hospital.
The Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1903 (33 Stat, 1113) provided for the construction of a new Freedmen's Hospital.
The new buildings were completed in 1908 and occupied February 26 of that year.
Other additions and wings have been added to the plant which rates it as one of the largest in the world for Negroes. Other units and equipment is still being planned by Dr. Warfield which when completed will make Freedmen's one of the greatest medical centers in the country.

NEW YORK CITY (CNS) —Dr. Kelley Miller, Jr., physician and surgeon and the gen of Prof. Kelly Miller, former sage of Howard University, was assaulted last week by a Texas "cracker" who refused to let a Negro occupy a seat beside him in a Times Square Cafe. The assailant, Cliff Henn, a member of the rodeo, now current at Madison Square Garden, is reported to have yelled to the proprietor of the establishment, when Dr. Miller and a companion entered: "Where I come from, N—don't sit besides white men, and G—D—neither are you!" to which Dr. Miller replied, "That's all right where you come from, but I'm going to sit down and have a hamburger."
This so enraged the cowpuncher, that he beat. Dr. Miller mercilessly. Heln was arrested and held in $500 bail, the Madison Square Garden Corporation going on his bond. Dr. Miller was treated at the Polyclinic Hospital, where four stitches were taken near his eye, and his shoulder treated for dislocation. Attorney William T.

Picturesque Names to Go with Wiping Out of Alleys
The closing of Washington's alley, most of them inhabited largely by Negroes, will wipe from the books many picturesque names. Most of the alleyes were named in the days when every section of Washington had its own peculiar appellation, such as Bloodfield, Cow Town, Swampoodle and Foggy Bottom.
Some of the more amusing names given to alleyes in those days were Goat alley, Temperance, avenue, King's court, Snow's court, Queen's alley, Cow alley and Pork Steak alley. It is explained that virtually all of the alleyes were named unofficially, most of them by their residents.
HUSBAND-SLAYER ENTERS PLEA OF GUILTY
Bride of 5 Months Who Shot Mate Admits Man-Slaughter Act
Florence Virginia Craig, the 21-year-old bride of five months who last August shot and killed her husband, Robert, in their home at 2818 Robinson Place, Southeast, was pleaded guilty to manslaughter by her attorney, Goldie Paregol in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday.
The plea, entered upon the consent of Assistant United States Attorney Irving Goldstein, was accepted by Justice Oscar R. Luhring who immediately referred the case to the Probation Office for study. A sentence will be meted out upon receipt of the report.
Victim Accused of Cruelty
Craig was killed as the climax of a five-month marriage. During the period, the man is alleged to have resorted to numerous cruelties in the treatment of his wife. Neighbors testified that he had beaten her incessantly. Mrs. Craig's parents declared that they had ordered the couple to leave their home because their daughter was not treated decently by their son-in-law. Each declared that the man had been unreasonably mean to his mate and that several of them had spoken to him about his treatment of her.
Mrs. Theresa West, 2629 Sheridan Road, Southeast, Mrs. Louisa Beall, 2838 Jasper Road, Southeast, Walter and Mrs. Frances Wells, 2815 Robinson Place, Southeast, took the stand and testified in behalf of the rough treatment to which the girl-slayer had been subjected.
Police found Craig lying face down in a vacant lot adjacent to the house. He had fallen there as he ran from the kitchen with a bullet tearing at his heart. Powder burns on the shirt revealed that the shot had been fired at close range. The 21-year-old defendant had maintained throughout her incarceration in the District Jail that she fired in self defense. Craig she declares, was advancing on her with clenched fist and she feared another of his beatings.

CIVIC GROUP TO ASK OUSTING OF MARRIED WORKERS
Dr. Walter A. Bloedorn is Endorsed to Head Health Office
Married women who are employed by the Emergency Relief and whose husbands hold positions paying* salaries $2,000 or more a year, was hit by the Federation of Civic Associations at monthly meeting last Friday in the Board Room of the District Building. It was pointed out that there are many women who are employed by the Emergency Relief whose husbands receive high wages in other positions. A motion was made protesting such employment, but it was referred to the committee on commercial interests for an investigation and report.
A resolution was offered asking endorsement by the federation of Dr. Walter A. Bloodorn as health officer of the District of Columbia. Information that the federation had not endorsed individuals for positions in the past and opinions that this policy should be adhered to in the future, were expressed by the majority of those who spoke on the resolution, however on a motion which was carried, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Public Health and Sanitation.
Delegates representing associations in the Garfield and Hillsdale sections made pleas that the federation use extraordinary effort on public works was instructed and authorized to take the necessary steps to get relief for those sections.
Cemetery Proposed Lost
A motion that the federation take steps assisting various lot owners in getting improvements to roads, in Woodland Cemetery was lost, after several delegates had explained that this matter had been brought to the federation in recent years and an investigation had revealed that the advisable procedure in the matter was for the lot owners to take the complaint to court as the cemetery was owned by a private corporation.
Urged to Take Test
A letter was read from Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, in which he urged members of the federation to use their influence in getting more colored persons to take civil service examinations for the various positions in the government. He inclosed blanks for positions and several members called for them. The federation endorsed the movement and it was suggested that persons in other cities should be contacted also.
Fight On Crime
A resolution that the federation support the city government in their efforts to stamp out crime in the District of Columbia was unanimously passed. The committee on Public safety was instructed to represent the federation in meeting of citizens formed for the purpose of eliminating the crime wave in the city.
A resolution that the federation Asks For Jobs request the D. C. commissioners to carefully consider certain recommendations to "curb relief expenditures;" and calling their attention to the fact that colored citizens are not given their fair share of the jobs in the D. C. government was unanimously adopted.
Attention was called to the fact that at the next meeting of the federation, which is to be held Friday, November 23, election of officers of the federation would take place.
