BAPTISTS SEEN HEADED TOWARD CHURCH REFORMS By George Howard Mack In a precedent-smashing session at Shiloh Baptist Church, last Monday night, a Baptist council, invited by Pastor E. L. Harrison, ordained for the ministry the Rev. T. Austin, local minister of that church and graduate of the theological department of Howard University. The staid old Minister' Conference, scene of many conflicts during such inquisitions, however, was not invited as on other days, but left standing out in the cold. In addition to the churches in the neighborhood which formed the council, among them being Metropolitan Baptist, Salem, Vermont Avena Baptist, Mt. Nebo, Third Baptist, New Bethel, Tenth Street, Trinity, etc., all pastors present were offered reserved seats to sit with the council and propound any questions that might suggest themselves—or rather, the papers in many of their pockets might suggest. Many Left Gasping This new procedure, introduced into local Baptist policy by what is generally being termed the "New Dealers" of the demonation, which many observers agree is sufficiently competent to inquire not only into the spiritual and emotional background of one's faith and life, but to determine also the important question of intellectual qualifications, left many of the old timers gasping. Gathering early outside the church yard, many of the old war horses huddled and discussed the situation confronting the old order, which at last, lay prostrate at the feet of the younger generation! As to just how to resuscitate the fossils of an old monster that has imagged its trail across local church affairs perhaps even before the famous Norman-Lamkins-Jernagin feuds, or even whether it should be revived at all, no agreement was reached among the bellicose divines. Also, how to stem the tide of this newer innovation, or whether even to try, were other questions equally as troublesome. Feared Reversal But the trouble here was, for the most part, because those most vehement in their protestations were merely whispering "irregularity," and apparently loath to breathe it out too loud for fear they themselves might be "put on the spot" instead of the candidate. It would have been stupid, they reckoned, to possess a pocket full of examination questions (copied from some book) for the specific purpose of trying someone else, and then have the tray reversed to find themselves under the grill instead. Sensing this, a number of the brethren took no part whatsoever—not even in the singing. A side from the questions asked by the Rev, E. C. Smith, catechizer selected by the council, and who also breathed defiance at Washington's old custom in prefacing his motion that the young man be given approbation of the church, the Rev, W. C. Jarvis proved to be the next most persistent examiner. Questions Asked This does not mean, of course, that others did not have their innings. They did. "When does regeneration begin?" was a shot put across by one, whose pocket was bulldging with the "evidence." Another wanted to know: "If you met a stranger and told him about God, and the stranger asked you to prove there is a God, how would you prove it?" While another wanted to know "in what respect is man to the image of God," evidently pressing for an answer showing physical similarity of features All of which were nonessential if not nonsensical! Baptists to Clean House After witnessing this affair, the writer reached the conclusion that if the place of eternal bliss ever was "up above the clouds," and the precincts of everlasting limbo gulped menancingly in the abysmal depths, they should still be in their respective places—today! Not because the council, as such, succeeded in bringing the one down, or the irate ministers in digging the other up, but because of the tact and skill in which the proceedings were geared. Ignores Social Life Aside from the fundamental questions as to one's belief in God's plan of salvation, his calling to preach and his educational fitness, the examinations ignore entirely one's knowledge of the social life of the people among whom he is to be sent; it is silent on church needs and financing, not even determining whether existing opportunities will be grasped or whether the one would seek to drag a handful of folks into a house on the next corner for a "church," and there levy a staggering debt for misled people to pay! And not only that, but it does not take into consideration the economic condition of the populace which must sustain it; shows no concern over the lost and delinquency in membership of both old and young; raises no question regarding the existence of ministerial ethics governing the profession; gives no place to the candidate's conception regarding the relationship between church and pastor, exceept, in a puerile but mischievous manner, seeks to emphasize the erroneous impression that he is to be "lord over all," and closes its Convocation of Religion at Howard University Speakers of national reputation participated in the discussion of the eighteenth annual convocation of the School of Religion, Howard University, during the three days' session, November 6, 7, 8. The theme for convocation discussion was "The Contribution of the Church to Social Reconstruction." The program was divided into a discussion of the "Role of Dictatorship," "Fascism," "The Spirit" with a discussion also of "Historic and Contemporary Christianity." In a discussion of "Danger Zones in the Social Order," President Albert W. Palmer, of Chicago Theological Seminary, stated that the most critical situation which faces society today is in the thwarted and distorted social attitudes that the members of society have towards each other. "These distorted attitudes," he said, "are fundamental to all social conflicts in our world." MINISTER SEEKS ESTABLISHMENT OF RESCUE STATION Deplores Lack of Service for Transients at Conference Deploring the fact that there are 142,000 colored persons in the city and not a single rescue missionary station the Rev. J. H. Robinson, social worker, urged ministers of the Baptist Ministers' Conference to cooperate with him in seeking to establish a local Missionary Rescue Station. Addressing the conference at its meeting, Monday, at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church as a visitor, the Rev. Mr. Robinson launched into an attack on the laxity of missionary work in this direction among churches. He declared that whenever a stranger comes to Washington with no place to stay he is forced to seek aid from whites. He cited the fact that there are three white missionary rescue bureaus in the city. Richmond Pastor Speaks The Rev. K. D. Turner, pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church of Richmond, Va., delivered the sermon to the ministers taking his text from the 28th Chapter of Matthew, 19th and 20th verses. The Virginia minister is conducting revival services at the Friendship Baptist Church this week. Others who spoke were the Rev. A. J. Conley, Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Carrie Thomas Hooper, New York missionary, who has just returned from a missionary tour of the south and mid-west. Ladies of Charity Founder Honored at Catholic Rites Solem pontifical mass honored St. Louis de Marillac, founder of the Ladies of Charity, benevolent organization in all Catholic churches, was held at the St. Joseph Church, white, Second and C Streets, Northeast, Sunday with hundreds of colored Catholics in attendance. At the morning mass, the Rev John S. Keenan delivered the sermon while the Most Rev. John M. McNamara was celebrant. The Revs. Louis Arand and Francis Kelly were masters of ceremonies. In the evening vespers services were conducted with the Rev. Engene J. Connelly giving the sermon and the Rev. Amelto G. Ciccognani, Apostolic delegate, the celebrant The Rev. J. P. Kennedy and Joseph Nelligan were masters of ceremony. Mrs. G. Lake Imes Dies at Tuskegee Institute TUSKEGEE (ANP)—Mrs. Patti Meredith Imes, wife of Dr. G. Lake Imes, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, died in her home at the Institute, Tuesday. Mrs. Imes had been ill for many months. She was a native of Richmond, Va., where she taught school prior to her marriage to Dr. Imes. Her funeral held on Thursday was attended by a throng of friends who had known her during the twenty-five years she had spent as a member of the Institute family. eyes against practices in the pulpits that, perhaps more than anything else, are tending to undermine the confidence of people in their churches. Wolf Among Sheep In other words, pharaphrasing it in the reverse, a newly ordained minister is to be turned loose like a wolf among sheep. If he should split a church and start up another on the corner, it is nobody's business but his own. If he should engage even in the rackets, or in a circus, and in the name of religion, make money, he is a "very successful pastor." If he can sell enough chitterlings and pigs feet to insulate the flock for a heavy financial blow to be delt even for the erection of a new church in the midst of scores of others that are leaderless, he is a great financier. Finally, after all these years we are at last pleased to note the reformation. The best thing about it all, however, is the fact that reform begins when reform is most needed—in the public!

STERING BROWN ADDRESSES MINER COLLEGE GROUP No i Declaring that truly democratic and liberal education, though often assumed to be a fact in America, has never been completely liberal and constructive, Sterling A. Brown told faculty members and students of Miner Teachers’ College that liberal education would have a greater chance of success if Roose+ velt’s idea of social planning suc cocded. Professor Brown, the author of “Southern Rowi,” spoke on “Edu cation of Tomorrow,” at the Miner assembly in honor of National Edu cation Week. ; Concern With Present “American education,” he declare ed, “has never been a disinterested search for truth, but has always heen affected by the social drift and the ideas of tho dominant party, always interested in upholding the - status quo, the existing order of # given period in human affairs.” Education, thinks Professor Brown, should concern itself more. with the problems of present day living and less with the past or the preparation for any particular kind: of labor. 1 | “Liberal education has to answer ‘more than the attacks of those whe in times of universal employment: are amazed that every college: graduate does not immediately; land a remunerative position. It has to answer the attack that it has heen often the peculiar privilege oft a leisure class, has often neglected the pressing problems of the times, and has concentrated upon x dead past. It has concerned itself ine adequately with the struggle for social justice. 4 Own Time Ignored 4 “Too many men of liberal educa tion wax indignant over the treate ment of the serfs of ancient times! while remaining unmoved by the near-serfs of our own time and neighborhood. . “The revolutionary changes oe~ curring around us are bound to af~ fect education methods and polis cies,” the speaker declared; “and in these changes he could discern bet~ ter conditions. “Prophecy about the future is, of course, something of a guessing game, but that we are in the midst of sweeping social changes is a matter of ordinary observation. If the New Deal succeeds in its at- tempt to have capitalism while get ting at a real working democracy instead of the present approxima~ tion, the type of education will probably be co-operative rather than for the benefits of a small class, Education will then be a nes cessity and not luxury, and truth will not be walled about with signs, ‘Thus far and no farther’.” TEACHERS WHO Ai DRIVERS TO TEACH TRF SFE tae First Assistant Superintens dent. Garnet. C. Wilkinson ane nounced early this week that the committee in charge of pute ting into effect the twelve lessons on safety in traffic, desires to xe cure in each high school and junior high school the cooperation of cer= tain selected teachers for the pur- pose of teaching these lessons to the pupils. | The plan approved by the Board of Education calls for the presen tation of the lessons to al! tenth: year pupils in the senior high’ schools and to all ninth year pue pile in the junior high sehools, The principals of the high schools will designate the teachers who are to be charged with the respons sibility of giving these lessons. The committee believes that the prine cipals should select for this work teachers who are _ experineced drivers and who are interested in this subject rather than teachers who may or may not have exper jence to justify their selection, eae Tuskegee Alumni Elect Officers TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.

Thrilling Last M Howard Verdict Jakes Takes Anderson's He Lone Touchdown of I End to Pirate Thrilling Last Minute Pass Gives Howard Verdict over Hampton Jakes Takes Anderson's Heave on Dead Run to Count Lone Touchdown of Fray; Victory Brings End to Pirate Supremacy By LAWRENCE J. BROCKENBURY HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—A h saw an air-minded Howard eleven pa hearted Hampton Pirates in the fed be the greatest classic ever staged urday afternoon. HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—A howling mass of frenzied spectators saw an air-minded Howard eleven pass to a 7-0 victory over the valiant-hearted Hampton Pirates in the fading moments of what turned out to be the greatest classic ever staged on Armstrong Field, here last Saturday afternoon. The game, replete with unexpected and breath-taking occurrences, had everything that goes to make a real thriller. From the opening whistle to the final gun the crowd watching with unabated interest, was kept on edge as thrill after thrill was furnished by the gladiators of the gridiron. First Bison Win in 10 Years This marked the first victory that the Bisons have scored over Hampton since 1924. The players of both teams lived up to the traditions which have always characterized Hampton-Howard games by their remarkably clean playing. It was a game where breaks counted, and the team that was able to take advantage of one of its breaks was the team that won. For fifty-six of the sixty minutes the teams battled on even terms, although the Pirates kept the ball in Howard territory for the greater portion of the time. Whenever the goal line of either team was threatened, a stalwart forward line would rise up and smear opposing backs. Then the situation would be reversed. The originally defensive team would march to the other goal line only to have its final drive thwarted. But the breaks of the game seemed to be all Hampton's at first. Three times during the first period the Pirates were inside the Bisons' twenty-yard stripe; and three times they were foiled in their desperate attempts to tally. It seemed once that the Bisons would duplicate the parading of their regiment, so often did they have the ball in Howard territory. Break is Turning Point The Bisons' real break came in the last five minutes of play after what seemed like a real chance for Hampton to score, and which was incidentally the most spectacular performance of the game even shading the touchdown play. Anderson, brilliant Howard quarterback, faded back to his sixteen-yard mark and heaved the ball far into the air. But Hopson, Hampton's sensational freshman halfback, beat Howard's end to the oval. Almost taking the ball out of White's hands on Hampton's 37- he started towards the sidelines like a mad bull. But in a remarkable demonstration of footwork, he swerved back, shook himself loose from three different tacklers, and then with all speed of a Tolan, he shot diagonally across the field. Aided by rapidly-forming interference the New Jersey flash swept down the sidelines as the crowd grew frantic. He was finally forced out of bounds only three yards away from the goal line. But for the second time this season his long runs was in vain, as it was declared that a Hampton man had been guilty of holding, and the ball was brought back to Howard's 47-yard line. It was then that the stage was set for what was to spell victory for the Capitol-City boys. An exchange of punts finally gave the Pirates the ball again on their own 25-yard mark. A forward pass and three line thrusts placed the oval one yard on Hampton's midfield stripe. On the next play Hopson fumbled the ball on a bad pass from center. Anderson then displayed his rare ability as a field general. First he threw a short pass that netted only five yards. Then he circled the end for a first down. By this time the Hampton backs, playing a two-two defense were coming closer and closer to the line. Remembering that Hopson had intercepted a low pass a few minutes before, he acted in a manner that should delight any coach. He faded back to his own forty-three-yard line, and with perfect blocking he had plenty of time to heave the ball high into 682—595—110—500—693—246 135—484—309—921—679—012 --- TWELVE Quarterback Heady NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD GRIST OF THE GRIDIRON CARDOZO vs. DUNBAR, at GRIFFITH STADIUM.

Martin's Miner Teachers' College eleven to crush Bowie Normal Saturday, 2/13. It was the fifth victory in six starts for the Georgia Avenue Purple and Gold machine. Neihier of the contesting teams was able to score in the first quarter, but Miner put over a touchdown in the second, two in the third and another in the final period. Bowie registered both its tallies in the final quarter and threatened for a time to snatch the game from the fire. Quarterback Tignor, with two touchdowns and two extra point conversions, led the attack for the winners. Forsythe and Wiggins scored the other markers for Miner. In the final quarter, Bowie, favored by determined play and a turn in the breaks, threatened to overtake the visitors. An intercepted pass put the locals in position to score their initial 6-pointer. Later Brooks of Bowie covered a blocked kick which rebounded over the Miner goal line. Miner (27) . Pos. Bowie (13) Covington . L.E. Prather Ware . L.T. Travers Carrington . L.G. Jones Gibson . C.

Anacostia Tied; Stubborn Northeast Eleven Playing with renewed pep, the Northeast football team held to a 6-6 tie the highly-touted grid machine representing the Anacostia Athletic Club, on the grounds at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. Although they were greatly outweighed the Northeasterners gained considerable ground through the Southeast line. Both their running attack and defensive play was worthy of note. Scales and L Mason were outstanding for Northeast and Anacostia respectively although the latter was held in check to no little extent by the fighting Northeastern group. Joe Louis, Ring Star, Shows He Likes "White Meat" CHICAGO.—"He's a cullid boy, ain't he?" quiser Mister Joseph Louis, sometimes disrespectfully referred to as just plain Joe, when we put him on the witness stand at 47th Street and South Parkway last week as to how he would like to meet John Henry Lewis, the Phenix, Ariz., fisticic genius. "Yes, Joe," we replied and then went ahead to elaborate on how talk was being made of how good it would look to see Joe and John in there together. "Don't want him." Joe laconiically replied. "Don't want to fight no cullid boys." Record hastily purused showed us that Joe has fought but one Negro since turning pro, that being Willie Davis at Bacon's Arena last summer.

Smiley was in the pilot house as Tanaringo led the field home over the jumps in the curtain raiser. Tanaringo paid his backers $8 to win. Reid had the leg up on Resurrection as the big black son of My Play Ann Earn closed fast to win the third race at the lucrative price of $15.80. Joseph B.

According to our information, William (Bill) Ricker, the colored man accepted as an authority on horse flesh and in whose hands the responsibility of "identifying" horses is placed, was unable to satisfy himself that the horses occupying the paddock stalls of Wazayata and Church Call were those animals. As a consequence money that had been placed on those horses in the mutual machines was returned to the bettors.

Watch These clubs. Their feeling, it appears, is that public interest in the clash between their team and the Trees demands attention from a business view point. With this in mind the officials of the Jackets requested a postponement of the scheduled game for Sunday. Anticipating that the request would be granted, the Yellowjackets arranged a game with an outside team. The stand taken by the league, however, was to the effect that the LeDroit Park club had already used up its quota of postponements under the constitution and that the playing of another game would be an infraction of the rules. Mr. Jones's ruling came at the close of a lengthy wrangle between representatives of the Jackets and the Trees. Trees Stand With League No sooner had President Jones issued his ultimatum to the Yellow jackets than泸vester Butler, representing the Southwest club, stated that his team would positively refuse to meet the Yellow-jackets outside of the league ranks. By this assertion, the Willow Tree pilot put an end to the belief that these two teams, the city's leaders, would meet in a game later on a commercial basis.

Playing superb football in the face of overwhelming odds, the Cardozo High School eleven fought off the Douglass High School warriors to gain a 0-1 tie at Walker Stadium last Friday afternoon. The Baltimoreans were considered a much stronger team having battled the Armstrong Technical High School outfit, defending South Atlantic champions, to a scoreless deadlock, two weeks ago. Local followers of the sport were even satisfied to overlook the 18-0 shell-lacing handed the Ducks last week by Dunbar. Although the Poets proved to be head and shoulders above the visitors, such a margin of difference had not been expected. Hawkins Proves Duck Nemesis A fair attack, deadly tackling and an impregnable aerial defense might have appeared to the casual observer to be the assets in the Cardozo machinery of Friday. But to experienced eyes it was the splendid kicking of Raleigh Hawkins that meant the difference between victory and defeat for the Clerks. On no less than four occasions, after the invaders had marched deep into Purple and White territory, it fell to the lot of this spindle-legged youngster to punt the ball out of danger. With a line provinces inconsistent throughout the afternoon Hawkins measured his boots with the poise of a veteran and sent long, looping spirals or end-over-ends from within the shadow of his own goal posts back into alien territory. Coach Jack Young was minus the services of Smack Lucas, last year's quarterback, who for some unknown reason viewed the game from the sidelines in civilian clothes. As if determined to somewhat even matters, fate saw to it that Coach L. U. Gibson also suffered the loss of a player. Bob Wilson, triple threat backfield ace, was disqualified early in the game by Referee Raymond Contee who claimed a foul on him for kicking after being downed. Because of the recent disturbances at white interscholastic games, the Cardozo-Douglass clash was under close surveillance of school officials. First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent A. Kiger Savoy and Principal Robert N. Mattingly, Cardozo, Walter L. Smith, Dunbar, and G. David Houston, Armstrong, were in the stands.

AMBULANCES NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Call JARVIS FUNERAL CHURCH 1432 U Street, N.W. North 3815 SPORT SCRIPTS SPORT SCRIPTS Although school officials declare their action in transferring the high school city championship football series from Walker Stadium to Griffith Stadium was not a precautionary measure, motivated by the recent disturbance at the white high school grid game between Tech and Western High School teams, it seems to me that the move served to place that action definitely in such a category. With the decision coming at the time it did, four days after the Board of Education upheld Superintendent Kramer's decision to discontinue the white high series because of the recent alleged riot, the transfer appears to indicate that colored school heads fear similar outbreaks at their games. It is true that very little revenue is taken at the games at Walker Stadium inasmuch as outsiders may see the games from the street. The spectators are largely composed of holders of student tickets. However, with character building programs now being conducted in the local schools, it seems to me, that the wise thing to have done would have been to continue the colored series at Walker Stadium and prove the value of character education by "excellent conduct" as observed by a host of high school officials at Friday's game between Cardozo and Douglass High elevens. ★★★ Dr. R.

Hornets Tie Morris Brown in Heated Grid Tilt COLUMBUS, Ga.—Beaten in their last two Conference games and trailing 7-0 at half, the Alabama State Hornets, led by Elisha James, a hitherto unheralded substitute fullback from Birmingham and the inimitable slippery-hipped Jimmie Fields of Milwaukee, well supported by a powerful hard charging line, came back strong in the second half to even the count at 7-7 for the third successive tie and temporarily halt the mad rush of the Morris Brown Wolverines in their quest for the Southeastern Conference tilt. Fredericksburg High Team Downed by Parker-Gray ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Parker-Gray High School grid team evened the score with the Mayfield High School football team, here last Friday, defeating the Fredericksburg clan by a margin of 6-0. The visitors outplayed the locals throughout the first half but were unable to push across for a score. On two occasions they invaded the Alexandrians' territory as far as the 10-yard line. On one of these the Black and White lads went to the 4-yard stripe. The Parker-Gray outfit gained its winning touchdown on a quick pass in the final minutes of play. The victory helped to blot out a 13-0 defeat handed them by the visitors earlier in the season. Ma: Johnnie, if you eat any more pie, it will make you sick.

Please signify at which club employed, extent of schooling and age. All applicants for membership should be in no later than December 31. Watch this column for other important information in regard to this organization. **** I have recently been notified of something that is in store for the caddies of the various clubs here-abouts and circulars will be sent to each in the very near future. It is time that these boys should be waking up and be doing a little more than taking their earnings and blowing it in on "Georgia Skin," pitty-pat and betting all kinds of ways on members during their rounds. Now that the cold weather is here to stay we should be devising some methods of playing a better game next season and the way to do this is by obtaining one or more of the many fine books on golf which bear the methods of various experts. These books can be obtained at practically all newsstands and are priced within the reach of all. Remember the intellectual side of the game is just as important as the practical angle. ***** Many local fans have turned their clubs upside down until the warm weather returns, but a few were noticed at the Memorial during one of our windy days. What in the world has happened to Washington's women golfers?****I was noting one or two now and then but it seems they all have deserted the fairways for good.****"Garge" Martin, pater of the much publicized Clyde, taught his son many fine points of the game.

Eiseman and Martin, received quite a set-back a few days ago in a match with Columbia's Billy Adams and Bubby King. This match was staged on the Columbia course with the latter pair winning on the fifteenth green 3 and 2. Adams scored a commendable 77 for the round with King negotiating the second score by virtue of a snappy 79. Elseman and Martin were unable to get going in this match and the home boys pulled a coasting act on the "in" nine for they were something like five up at the turn. **** Bernard Barton, that exceptionally quiet lad who played in local tournaments now and then, informs me that he's going after the big boys of this game in no little way, next season. Barton plays very seldom but is known as an all-around shot maker and capable tourney player. Good luck, old fellow, and "don't miss nobody."

Tuskegee and Kentucky will meet again next year. The game will be played in Louisville. Orangeburg Makes Ready For Crucial Games ORANGBURG, S.C.—Two big games on the football schedule of South Carolina State A. and M. College will furnish a special menu for the "Bulldogs" who now have a peculiar case of "rabies" which will only be cured by victories of the "Purple Wolverines" of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Georgia, this Friday, and the "Golden Tigers" of Tuskegee, November 23. These clashes will decide the championship honors of the Southern Conference for each of these three teams and are therefore of special significance throughout the section. Football fans from every part of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina as well as many of the other border States are expected as visitors to the little city on the Edisto, the Athens of South Carolina on the two big feasting days for the "Bulldogs."

The Bears were off from the kick off to win. They got the ball earlly after the kick off to the Tigers. On the first play, Fisher, Livingstone's quarterback, made a sweeping end run of sixty yards, carrying the ball close to the opponent's goal. After a succession of plunges by Blount for short gains, Fisher carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the season. Again in the third period, Fisher came tramping around right end with Blount and Colston running a beautiful interference to score the second touchdown. S. C.

Congressman-Elect to Fight Segregation in Government SAYS ELECTION WAS CRAZY-QUILT OF DEALS, STEALS CHICAGO (Ry Frank Hall. for ANPI—Now that the shouting ie el shout over and Congressmen: cles: Arthur W. Mitchell takes the “mite” from Congressman Oscai DePriest, the fellows who thumt theis pages and read deeply, are telk'n= over why andi who was re- tomnsible for the DePrient down- all. The analysis is a crazy-quil patchwork of deals, steals and per- sonal enmities, ‘ Signed Death Warrant First and foremost, they say, De- Priest signed his death warrant Inst winter when he took sides in 3 factional squabble within the Re- pyblican party, The elected leade: of the Second ward; which contains morg Republican. votes than ans werd in the city, was William E. King. But William L. Dawson, alderman of the Second ward, wanted King’s. job as committee- man. A Sunday cabal was held and King was informed that he must step aside as committeeman and be satisfied to run for the state senate. King balked, walked out, and the fight began. DePriest backed Dawson against King for, the committee post and Roscoe 'Simmons against, King. for the senate seat. The then senator, Adelbert H. Roberts, was also rtin- ning for the nomination, DePriest also opposed him, Both Dawson and Simmons lost. DePriest had made two powerful enemies with- in his own party, King and Roberts, Their followers lusted for De- Priest's blood. . Whites Backed Mitchell From the primary in April until the election last Tuenday, “the wound was kept open by Dawson's contest of the election of King as committeeman, Coming down to the election, the situation was something like this: ‘There were more Democratic votes in the district than Republican, but there were more Negro votes than white. With a white Democratic anGidate, the Negro votes went to DoPriest,’ But when the Democrats ceted a Negro to run, he got Se white vate and and large per rcatage of the black-votes.~ Fur- hovmore, DePriest could look to tht white Republican leadership Sox no support. ‘The reason was Dan. Serritella, an Halian who is committeeman in the First ward where most of the white votes is located. Serritella sn atate senator and it js charged that, he used to work with “Scar- face” Al Capone, the racteer now in the federal prison. Serritella ran for re-election in this section. The Democrats did not put up a candidate against him, ft is al Jeged that they agreed not to op- pose him if he would throw his white Republican strength to the Democratic candidate Mitchell. If Serritella entered into such a deal as this to insure his own reelec- ion, the white vote was practically solid against DePriest. Dawson Breaks Negro voting strength broke up somewhat as follows: King was running as a Republican for the state senate and supported by De- Priest. DePriest supported King, ‘But Dawson, the Republican alder- man, who has his own independent organization in the Second ward, marked for Hammond, King’s Democratic opponent because of the primary strife. DePriest's support of King in the election is alleged to have been a strain on Dawson who, finally, two days before the election, broke with DePriest and failed"to\ attend the final big Republican rally on Sun- day. i Roberts," stung by DePriests's treatment of him in the primary, would give him no active support in the election, Against DePriest on election day within his own party there were some Dawson followers, some King followers, but_not ‘King himself, and some of Robert's followers, ““itchell to Continue Battle » for Anti-lynching Law SHICAGO (ANP)—Shirt sleeves oiled up, so to speak, and ready to vork immiediately, Congressman- eiget Arthur W.

He did, however, spend six weeks at Co- lumbia, Is Able Thinker Thus, in spite of the lack of scholastic background, Mr. Mit- chell has pushed forward to recog- nition as one of the able thinkers of the race. With acaigely more, if as much, scholastic background as Mr, DePriest, he has made him- self felt as a scholar wherein even Mr. * DePritst’s friends had: to admit that Mr. DePriest tripped on his verbs occasionally.

The challenging testimonial from the pen of the distinguished Rev. E. C> Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Washington, D.

I think the people are tired of bombast, ballyhoo and noise, where we should have constructive thought, honest action and real statesmanship. "I accept the mandate of the people and look upon the same as a daisy fully expressed, by white as well as by colored people, for new leadership under the New Desk. I am 100 per cent in agreement with the President's program. I replay that in many instances the execution of the program is not handled as it should be, and because of this mishandling of the program different groups are made to suffer, but these are errors which can, and will be, corrected. Pledges Himself "I shall address myself first to looking after the interest of the people of the First Congressional District of Illinois who elected me to office. I shall always endeavor to be on the alert and use all the power that resides in me to protect the interest of my group. "I shall welcome constructive criticisms from the people of the country, both colored and white, and shall endeavor to do my full duty without fear or favor of man, but trusting in God as my Leader to whom I shall be responsible for my acts." It's Goodbye forever to KITCHEN DRUDGERY, WASTED ENERGY, COOKING FAILURES with any of the MODERN Gas RANGES in our ANNUAL FALL SALE 8 Platforms During the campaign, Congressman-elect Mitchell made his drive upon the following platform: "The most dangerous element in our country today is that of enforced idleness, brought about largely by the cessation of work. I shall be in favor of any program which tends to furnish work for the people, even though such program incurs governmental expense, thus increasing taxation. I believe that idleness is a breeder of crime, which threatens, the destruction not only of our institutions, but of the Government itself. And no monetary price to wipe out idleness and bring back prosperity, is too great. "2. I am in favor of wiping out racial discriminations, which serve only one purpose—to breed hatred, prejudice and injustice, thus making it impossible to prosper in the largest sense. "3. I believe that Colored American Citizens should continue to enjoy the same wholesome benefits to be derived from the higher standards of living, increased wages, and better housing conditions in the National program, that are enjoyed by other racial groups. "4. I believe that discriminations in governmental departments and in civil service departments in Washington, should be eliminated. I shall work to eliminate the practices of our civil service commission requiring applicants to submit their photographs with their applications and shall advocate the fingerprint system instead. Civil Service Program "5. I believe that the colored people shall have their just proportion of the jobs and positions created under the emergency acts through which our New Deal is being put forth. Reductions of $10.00 to $30.50 on all ranges in stock while they last! Winter is the season of heavy meals, the season when the difficulties encountered in the use of an old stove become even more strenuous. We are making it easy for you to declare a permanent holiday from old methods and begin now to enjoy the amazing new improvements presented in these brand new ranges! Many modern ranges have been drastically reduced in price just as a matter of stock-balancing, resulting in savings which amount to as high as $30.50! No reduction is less than $10.00! "6. I shall work incessantly to have the Congress pass an anti-lynching bill such as was introduced in last Congress. "7. I shall work to reenfranchise the colored people of the South and to wipe out all racial discriminations in voting privileges of the citizens of the South. "8. I believe in making America first. This seems to be a National Slogan, but it means nothing in our National life if we refuse or fail to make American citizens first. I contend that in the matter of employment whether in public or private enterprises and businesses, those born under our flag and those who have sworn allegiance to our flag should have preference. No American citizen who wishes to work should be forced to remain idle while a citizen of some foreign country is given work which an American could do and wishes to do. Any other course on the part of our citizens in business shows the basest kind of hypocrisy." Smartly styled, beautifully finished in a choice of colors, these ranges are priced now to make ownership a matter of thrift!

Swanson, of the Navy, implied in a letter to Dr. R. W. Brooks this week, that the change in mess attendants at the Naval Academy from a Negro personnel to Filipinoes was for economy only. Filipinoes are enlisted men, and by bringing them in as mess attendants it would mean a saving of nine dollars a month for midshipmen who are required to pay this amount monthly for the services of a waiter. Since the Filipinoes are on the government payroll the midshipmen would not have to pay them. On the other hand Secretary Swanson states that Filipinoes are being supplanted by Negroes as enlisted men as none of the former have been taken into the service since 1930. He also states that the plan is to bring Negroes back as mess attendants in a period of three or four years and then to send the Filipinoes to an Asian station. By this method Negroes would be employed as mess attendants at the academy without the midshipmen being required to pay for their services because then the attendants would be in the service. In the meantime some 150 or more civil employees at the academy will be thrown out of work and no doubt most of them will be added to the ranks of those on relief. Furthermore, Negroes are not particularly interested in enlisting in the Navy because little or nothing is offered in the line of promotion. As civilian employees they will be free to quit when a better job is offered without having to serve a period of years knowing that mess attendant is the limit to which they can aspire.

But it seems to be a peculiar attitude to take in the face of the New Deal. How can the administration explain away the fact that employed men are to be thrown out of work when there exists a state of unemployment? Can the Honorable Secretary explain that? Health Examinations in Schools Since the Board of Education has ordered that all school children in the District are to be given a health examination, let's hope that the same condition that prevailed in the Health Department will not be encountered. After finding out that the tuberculosis rate here was unusually high, the health officer attempted to explain it away by waving his hands at the colored population. No doubt the board will find many things in its contemplated examination that will not reflect credit on the community. With a school enrollment in Divisions 10-13 of some 28,000 students there are only two dental clinics, one at Terrell School and another at Bell School. There are only three physicians in the entire system and they are employed on half time. It's impossible for this small force to make anywhere near a complete examination of even a fifth of the school population. A staff of at least six or seven physicians and two clinics for each division would be more in line with the modern trend in health education in the public schools. More stress should be on a health and physical examination for all rather than on athletics for a few.

Leslie Frazier has written a letter to the editor, and we are publishing it in this column, hoping that it will get some statements from our readers. The letter speaks for itself: Winter is just around the corner—and with it comes hunger and lack of shelter. Is it too much to expect Christian churches to open their doors and permit the needy to use their benches to sleep on? Many of the pretenders in the church will say, 'They'll steal.' Could not 'one of you' keep vigil for one night? 'But there are proper places to go for shelter.' Yes? What is a more proper place than the House of the Lord? "There are two things it is hard to believe:1. that some ministers never visit the lowly places in the capacity of being discipler of their Master; and Winter is just around the corner—and with it comes hunger and lack of shelter.

Vann of the east end of the state, W. Justin Carter of the central portion and Judge Henry of the Eastern section, it looked as if the colored voters as one man rose up in revolt against the party tyranny which has so long held the race in political bondage in Pennsylvania. The Negro has at last filed his declaration of political independence. He has broken from the leash which held him bound to the Grand Old Party of long ago. For more than a decade this drift has been discernible. It has been estimated that fully a third of the Negro vote was cast for Al Smith in 1928, while as much as a half went to Roosevelt in 1932. But these are mainly estimates biased by the predictions of the estimator. Now, in the recent Congressional election we have for the first time more definite data of determining how the black voter split his ballot between the contesting parties. Indeed undisputed facts demonstrate the New Deal drift with mathematical certainty. Let us begin with Pennsylvania. In this commonwealth there are nearly 200,000 colored voters. These were aroused, as it were, to a pitch of political fury over Roosevelt and the New Deal. Led by Robert L. Vann of the east end of the state, W.

NEQRO ATTENDANCE WAS LARREAT AT 1984 RAILIES I addressed a meeting in Harrisburg at which the sister of Senator-elect Guffey, Governor-elect Earl and the local candidates for Congress were present and made addresses. Political veterans of both parties declared that they never before witnessed such an outpouring of colored people in middle Pennsylvania. Judge Henry and Mr. Carter declared that similar enthusiasm was manifested throughout the state. Mr. Earle, expectant candidate for Governor, said that this enthusiastic gathering presaged his election and that of Mr. Guffey. His prediction was fulfilled four days later. I might say, incidentally, that in addition to Mr. Carter and Judge Henry, D. L. H. King and W. Justin Carter, esq., Jr., all graduates of Howard University, participated in the program. This occurrence was incidental but deeply significant. Howard University, the capstone of Negro education, has no political complexion. It depends upon both political parties for support. It does not, it dare not, teach any political or partizan bias. But the true function of education is to teach the youth how to use their own intellect and judgment in reaching political decision and action. It seems to be a simple proposition that any Negro today who follows his intellect rather than his emotions will find himself in alignment with Roosevelt and the New Deal. What took place in Pennsylvania was duplicated in all parts of the free voting states of the North and West. The Negro vote figured essentially in the most strategic of all victories in the Pennsylvania election.

MITCHELL In the first District of Illinois, the veteran stand-pat Republican Oscar DePriest was supplanted by the young heoric Negro Democrat and New Dealer, Arthur W. Mitchell. Here was a clear trial of strength between the two parties in bidding for the Negro vote. The Democrats and the New Deal won. In St. Louis a Negro Democrat was nitted against L. W. Dyer, of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill fame. While the white Republican won, yet it is a safe bet to claim the majority of the Negroes in that district for the black democratic aspirant. Chicago also sent one Negro Democrat to the legislature. Harlem sent two Negro Democrats to the legislature over their colored Republican rivals on the basis of the black vote. That there are more Negro Democrats than Republicans in Harlem was demonstrated several years ago when two colored Democratic municipal judges were chosen over their colored Republican rivals. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and staid old Philadelphia sent each a Negro Democrat to the state assembly. Indianapolis, Ind. chose two Negro Democrats for the state legislature against colored Republican antagonists. But perhaps, most convincing of all, is what took place in the wholly Negro town of Boley, Oklahoma. All of the Democratic candidates running for office received more votes from Boley than did their Republican adversaries. In this case both sets of contestants were white, Southern men.

THE SITUATION IS GRAVE IN THE SOUTH These instances are quite sufficient to convince us with mathematical certainty that the tide has turned. The Negro vote has drifted from the Republican to the Democratic Party. The work of the National Non-Partisan League is finished so far as the North is concerned. The Negro voter casts his ballot for men, measures and movements and is no longer slave to party labels. But let us not deceive ourselves that all is well. The race will have to fight for its rights and privileges under the one party as vigilantly as under theceive ourselves that all is well. The race fight is won. Now turning to the South, the situation is pathetic in the last degree. All sparks of political life have died away. The new leadership in the South must arise which will have the practical wisdom to so propitiate local sentiment as to become integrated in the political and economic considerations of the New Deal. There is emerging among the young educated whites a generous sentiment that will meet the approach more than half way. The Norfolk Journal and Guide, it seems to me, points out the lines along which this much desired emancipation of the Southern Negro will take place. There's gold in places besides the hills, but you have to work just about as hard to get it. Convictions and ideals crystalize and take shape in the lives of some people. To a progressive Democrat, G.Q.P. stands for "Grandpa's Old Party." Those who go a-looking for faults ought take along a remedy. A humble bee is a bumble bee.

Paster Says Federal Law Is Our Only Hope. Titles Edit How long will we remain the laughing stock of the world? To what extent have we become the consummate hypocrite of all the nations? How far will our lust, and greed and blatant cynism lead us? Would we have the rest of the world believe that we are completely devoid of reason and conscience? These are questions that all honest Americans must help to answer. But it will be most difficult to convince any one living outside of the United States that we are not very largely a nation of morons and incompetents, if our story of crime means anything. On Friday afternoon, October 26, one of the most brutal and cold-blooded murders occurred that is known in the annuals of crime in America. This was the occasion of the lynching of Claude Neal near Greenwood, Florida. The affair was advertised and thousands gathered to satisfy their sadistic instincts, as they did centuries ago in Rome, where the favorites pastime was to gather and see men thrown to the lions. But the holiday Friday was crowded with women, children and babies. The ruthless taking of life by a mob, without due process of law is rapidly undermining the fundamental basis of our government and we have already won the distinction of being the most lawless nation on the earth. But as dangerous as that fact is for our fair land, it is not the worst that can happen to a nation. Indifference to crime, on the part of officials, whose avowed duty it is to enforce the law, or their actual collusion with the criminals in carrying out their dastardly deeds, removes in capturing the most of those who have committed the benign crime of kidnapping, but it is to be regretted, that there is a lack of interest and apparent indifference, where seventeen Negroes have been done to death by mob violence, so far this year without interesting enough members of Congress to make it a Federal offense. Kidnapping is an awful crime, which shows to what extent our greed has led us and must be stamped out by the iron hand of the law. But lynching is far worse, because in the former, most of the victims are returned after theransom is received. But in the latter a most violent death is its only aim, placing a premium on the maximum of suffering. For kidnapping the price in most cases, is mental anguish and a sum of money. For lynching, the price is always blood, violent hatred, and an increased contempt for American justice. Whither shall this lead us? An aroused public conscience is our only hope. A Federal law for the protection of American citizens is our only justification. How long will we remain the laughing stock of the world? To what extent have we become the consummate hypocrite of all the nations? How far will our lust, and greed and blatant cynicism lead us? Would we have the rest of the world believe that we are completely devoid of reason and conscience? These are questions that all honest Americans must help to answer. But it will be most difficult to convince any one living outside of the United States that we are not very largely a nation of morons and incompetents, if our story of crime means anything. On Friday afternoon, October 26, one of the most brutal and cold-blooded murders occurred that is known in the annuals of crime in America. This was the occasion of the lynching of Claude Neal near Greenwood, Florida. The affair was advertised and thousands gathered to satisfy their sadistic instincts, as they did centuries ago in Rome, where the favorites pastime was to gather and see men thrown to the lions. But the holiday Friday was crowded with women, children and babies The ruthless taking of life by a mob, without due process of law is rapidly undermining the fundamental basis of our government and we have already won the distinction of being the most lawless nation on earth. But as dangerous as that fact is for our fair land, it is not the worst that can happen to a nation. Indifference to crime, on the part of officials, whose avowed duty it is to enforce the law, or their actual collusion with the criminals in carrying out their dastardly deeds, removes every vestige of hope for a betetr day. The Department of Justice is to be congratulated for their vigilance and success in capturing most of those who have committed the benign crime of kidnapping, but it is to be regretted, that there is a lack of interest and apparent indifference, where seventeen Negroes have been done to death by mob violence, so far this year without interesting enough members of Congress to make it a Federal offense. Kidnapping is an awful crime, which shows to what extent our greed has led us and must be stamped out by the iron hand of the law.

LESLIE FRAZIER Flowers to these while they live— So often we hear the expression "He is the best Negro this-or-that in America." But there are two men I know who are among the best of their professions, Freeman H. M. Murray, proofreader, and Clyde Meek, linotype operator. These two do not have to step back for any man. What pupil at Dunbar High School would deny that Miss Bertha McNeill is not the best known teacher at that building? Why? Because Miss McNeill is the power behind the Dunbar Observer, the school paper—and has been for a number of years. It was through her encouragement and inspiration that the Observer won high honors in two or three of the national contests held for high school papers. This year Miss McNeill is assisted by Mrs. Josephine Bently, Mrs. Helen Nash, Alfred Nixon and Frank H. Perkins. The editor-in-chief is Philip Butcher; associate editor, Alice Fields, and others on the staff are Helen Gordon, Robert Fereebay, Talford Pierce, Adele Brooks, Hestlene Brooks, John Stanton, Granville Johnson, Agnes Ashby, Robert Jones, Esther Morton, Mildred Thurston, Katherine Swann, Florence Willis, Carolyn Johnson and Robert McNeill. We feel certain that the Observer is destined for as successful a season as it has enjoyed in the past.

Outside of Monrovia, the capital, Liberia practically was unbroken jungle. Hence James C. Young, the author (white) devotes a considerable portion of his book to a description of the trials and difficulties encountered in developing a modern industrial organization in a primitive country. When the enterprise was launched Liberia had one road, and a short one at that, for which there was one automobile belonging to the President of Liberia. Today Firestone has built more than 100 miles of good roads and traffic is so heavy the government has introduced traffic cops in the capital. More than 55,000 acres of former jungle are under cultivation, where 10,000,000 rubber trees soon will reach maturity. "One of the abiding miracles of the rubber enterprise is the sight of a big American motor truck operated by a native driver who never saw one until a few years ago," notes the author. The book tells the full story of the effort to grow rubber in Liberia, and has little of interest other than facts pertaining to the rubber industry.

Fuller. Native Man Heads Virgin Islands Welfare Board By ADOLPH GEREAU A Virgin Islander who has made his dream come true is Alongo G. Moron, Commissioner of Public Welfare on the Staff of Governor Paul M. Pearson of the Virgin Islands. Moron is a young man 25 years of age, highly educated and a leader in this community. He has the distinction of being an alumnus of three American colleges. After an excellent record in the Virgin Islands Moron left to continue his studies at Hampton Institute after which he entered Brown University where he got the degree of Ph.B. in 1932, majoring in sociology. Moron won the Urban League Fellowship for Graduate study at the University of Pittsburgh. He got the Degree of M.A. from that University in 1933 and was immediately after offered the position of Commissioner of Public Welfare by Governor Pearson. At great personal sacrifice Moron accepted the position because as a boy he had always planned to come back home at the conclusion of his studies and help his people, so when this opportunity presented itself Moron promptly accepted. In September of 1932 he was married to Leola Churchill of Baltimore, Md., and together they went to the Virgin Islands. First Native So Honored Moron is the first native to hold the position which prior to his time had been held by chaplains of the United States Navy and more recently by a Red Cross field nurse. His appointment on the Governor's Staff is part of Governor Pearson's general policy of encouraging and educating Virgin Islanders to take an ever increasing share of the re- This Week By HAROLD G. EATON A LINE MUST BE DRAWN BETWEEN THE ALL-NIGHT GAMBLING SINNER AND THE CHRISTIAN WHO PLAYS NUMBERS. Day by day in every way gambling is increasing in Washington—law or no law. Horse racing lot- tery, cards, dice, prize fights, football, baseball and numbers are open avenues to win and lose money here. Of all these, the "numbers" are most popular with our people. This is due, no doubt, to the wide-awakeness of the runners and the minimum bet of prize fights, football, baseball and numbers are open avenues to win and lose money here. Of all these, the "numbers" are most popular with our people. This is due, no doubt, to the wide awakening of the runners and the minimum bet of one penny allowed on a 600-1 pay off. To play the numbers or not to play the numbers is the question that pops up before many men and women (and children too) as they awake in the morning. The first thing that many of the habitual players think of on getting up is the dear, old dream book. Some specific thing that appeared in a dream during their sleep is looked up and a bet is placed on the prospect. These dream books are sometimes cheerished far more than the good prayer book. In fact some of them can be classed as interpreters and prayer book combined. I ran across one at a friend's house one day that carried the Lord's prayer in this manner: Our Father who art in Heaven—912 Hallowed be Thy name Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come—514 Let Thy will be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven—999 Give us this day our daily bread —862, etc. I can picture a regular "prayer number" player trying to say his prayers when he is called on to pray at church. I imagine he thinks of a lot of hot digits to add to the prayer. ... One excuse that is offered by the Christian numbers players is that playing the numbers is not gambling. I have had many point out instances where the church itself sponsors many things on the same lines with the numbers game. The accusations cover such things as cake and turkey raffles. If this is true, and I guess it is with some churches, then it is no wonder so many church members are digit players. *** This is a problem for preachers, not for me. * * * * Since the killing of Wilson, a newspaper deliverman here, the police is out for number runners and players. Gambling in the District must stop says Chief Brown, and when he says "gambling must stop," he means mainlv numbers playing. I think it is impossible for the law to stop it alone. The roots are too deep to be pulled up with the tree. As long as the leaders of churches remain mum and refuse to co-operate with the law in setting the people right nothing can or will be accomplished. Some of the biggest numbers players are office holders in the churches and as the preachers ignore and refuse to speak against such a gross case of gambling, then we shall have numbers. A line must be drawn between the all night gambling sinner and the Christian. It is up to pastors as decipies of Jesus Christ to chase the money changers from the temple. sponsibility of their own government, both from a political and economical standpoint. This policy has increased the percentage of qualified natives holding administrative and professional positions in the government from 10 per cent under the Navy Administration of the Islands to 75 per cent under the present Civil Administration. Besides his specialized academic training Moron has had a close acquaintanceship from his childhood with the many welfare problems facing the islands and entered upon his task with a splendid enthusiasm and devotion. Is Enthusiastic About Work Moron's appointment came about a month after the initiation of the Federal Emergency Relief Program was placed in effect in the Virgin Islands. This threw an unprecedented burden on the activities of his Department which was given a large share of the work incidental to the program, including distribution of food relief and emergency cash relief and the functions of an employment agency for registration of the unemployed and the allocation of workers to the various Departments expending Relief funds Despite the demands on his time caused by this great expansion of the routine work of the Department he has found time to start a comprehensive program for improving the welfare of his fellow-islanders, including the direction of a housing survey taking toward correction of the seriously inadequate housing conditions in the islands. Public Beach House Begun One of the activities of the Pearson Administration which is most wholeheartedly appreciated by the islanders, and one in which Moron has demonstrated that a Municipal project can pay its way, is the construction of a public beach house, at Lindbergh Bay Estate owned by the Federal Government, where islanders can enjoy a sea bath, beside a room to dress and undress all for 5 cents. For the first time in the island's history this is possible. On this little seagirt tropical island one can never reach a spot much more than a mile from the sea-shore, yet swimming facilities have never before been provided for the poorer classes. This has been a much felt and talked about need in the islands for many years, but nothing was ever done about it until Pearson and Moron got together. Now, as a result, the beach is always crowded with happy folks enjoying some of the comforts of life. Project Started by PWA Funds The beach was acquired with P.W.A. funds and the project is a business venture for the benefit of the people themselves, the operating expenses are made up from the amount taken in through the small fee paid by individuals. The number of people taking advantage of the facilities is so large that it is a paying proposition. "An essential part of our Welfare program," said Moron, "must be to provide the right type of recreational facilities for our fellow-islanders, no matter how poor they may be." He continued, "I see one of my fondest dreams realized when we can provide dignified swimming facilities, at one of the best beaches, for a fee that is within the reach of all, 5 cents per person." "Go to it" said Governor Pearson. What of Future of Haiti? Now Under Self Rule The Haitian ship of State is now in full command of Haiti... who for nineteen years have carefully noted how American supervision has brought stability as well as tranquility to the little Republic. The recent withdrawal of the American marines leaves only one formal tie by which the United States continues to exercise any control over Haitian affairs. This amounts to little more than a continuation of the customs receivership until the final repayment of the loans to the National City Bank in accordance with previous guarantees to bondholders have been made. The ownership and management of the Banque National de la Republique d'Haiti by the National City Bank annoyed Haitian nationalist, and there is now before the Haitian Senate a bill, already approved by the Chamber of Deputies, for the purchase of this bank by the Haitian Government. What of the future of Haiti? Time alone will tell whether enduring foundations have been laid for stable self-government. "Tangible benefits of intervention are everywhere apparent today. The intangible benefits are largely psychological. For two decades the Haitian peasant has worked his little patch of ground in peace and has enjoyed the fruits of his labors. He has been gradually emancipated from the subservience to which conturities of exploitation had accustomed him. He leves his new freedom; he wants things to continue as they are; he is a part of the new generation that would lend little support to revolution. Upper Classse May Cause Trouble Upper Classse May Cause Trouble "A possible obstacle in the course of Haiti's progress is the attitude of her upper classes. There is no planter class and only a small middle class, chiefly because of the tradition that the attainment of the position of a gentleman" comes only through identification with one of the so-called learned professions. Such education as exist- Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY Negroes are foolish to put blind faith in any party (political) on the assumption that it can bring about some miraculous change in racial attitudes. The bulk of the American Negro electorate, until very recently, demonstrated such a blind faith in the Republican Party. Political developments of the last three years would seem to indicate that those days are gone forever. The recent election of Arthur W. Mitchell to supplant Oscar DePriest as Congressman from the Second Congressional district of Chicago, emphasizes the trend in this direction. DePriest polled 24,840 votes and Mitchell 27,970 votes. This is the first time in history, Arthur (State Department) Smith tells me, that the Democratic party has sent a Negro to Congress. Smith, a messenger in the State Department whose library composed of books of, by and about Negroes of national note is unsurpassed if equalled by any that I have ever seen, gave me a few more interesting facts about the American Negro in politics which should be interesting to you. Mr. Smith says, among other things, that following the Civil War, numerous Negroes flocked to Congress from the Reconstruction South. He said that George H. White, of North Carolina, who retired from the House in 1900 was the last one. George Rothwell Brown, writing in a local daily, wrote: "Counting DePriest, 16 Negroes have sat in the National House. Two have held seats in the Senate. The first Negro ever to be heard on the floor of the House was J. Wills Menard, of Louisiana, who presented a certificate of election in 1867, argued his case but was not seated. Three years later Hiram R. Revels, of Mississippi, entered the United States Senate. Five years later Blainfoe K. Bruce, born a slave on a Virginia plantation, went to the Senate from Mississippi and occupied the seat of Jefferson Davis, where Pat Harrison sits today. He resided in the heart of the fashionable section of Washington, and his former house is now occupied by a very swanky white family." ***** (industrial Alcohol) personal friend of I. Louisiana, would during and is educated. Brown mention such a man in 1869 from better educated or ten years. * * * * * * on the signifi raged to vote rai to the Republic vote has frequent more than that. It such uncivilized In a State like with 300,000 ass disfranchised of the white elec Ortello (Bureau of Industrial Alcohol) Bartholomew, a Negro from New Orleans who was a personal friend of Walter Cohen and practically all of the Senators from Louisiana, would have you know that quite a few of the Negroes in politics during and immediately after the Reconstruction era were well educated. Brown, his column the WASHINGTON SIDESHOW, mention such a man in Joseph H. Rainey, barber, who entered the House in 1869 from Charleston, S.C. He spoke several languages and was better educated than many of his white colleagues. He held his set for ten years. * * * * * * One writer commenting on the significance of Mitchell's election wrote: "If the Negro is encouraged to vote racially as a Democrat, it may mean the prermanent loss to the Republican Party of such States as Ohio, in which the Negro vote has frequently held the balance of political power." It will mean much more than that. It will mean decent, responsible humane government in such uncivilized sectors as Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. In a State like Louisiana where a political bully can swing an election with 300,000 assured machine votes, a group of the 775,000 Negroes now disfranchised there would combine with some respectable element of the white electorate and assure a Democratic form of government. ***** Robert Allen, two nine dailies for the Merry-Go-Round tion of Arthur W ressor to Oscar I trouble.

Mitchell, colored Congressman from Chicago, as successor to Oscar DePriest, also colored, might cause the New Deal a little trouble. "Already some of the old guard Democrats have privately intimated objection. What they say is, that they don't mind having a Republican Negro around, but that a Democratic Negro Congressman is different. Mitchell, they say, will be a member of their own crowd and party. "And it has been more significance than merely the opposition of Southern Congressmen. For Roosevelt and his Administration have deliberately courted Negro support.

Pearson and Drew write much which could be called food for thought. **** The writer—who happens to know Arthur W.

He is reputed to be worth about $100,000 and is national president of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. President Roosevelt little believed, a year or so ago when he talked with Sylvester Harris, a poor Negro farmer in Mississippi and helped him retain his mule and little farm, that this little human incident would play a prominent part in the placing through the party he represents of the first Negro Congressman from Illinois, a Democrat. Harris was in Chicago speaking for Mitchell and there is little doubt in my mind but that he swung the 3,000 vote majority which elected Mitchell. ed prior to 1915 was along classical lines; the towns are still oversupplied with a white-collar class composed of lawyers, architects and performers, politicians. "In the professional politicians lies the greatest threat to future tranquility in Haiti. The test will probably not come before 1936, when national elections will be held. If, until that time, the present governmental services functions smoothly and meet their payrolls promptly, the Haitian ship of State will cross the first shoal without grounding. "In the American-trained Haitians—the doctors, nurses, engineers, Gardes, agricultural specialists, technicians, and teachers—there is keen enthusiasm for the hard work that must be done in their country; through their example has come a more widespread appreciation of the dignity of labor. In this lies the hope of the future." Junior was reading to his English class, a real western story he had written himself, and was doing quite nicely until he came to the part that read: "Crack went Buck's rifle and six Red Men fell dead at his feet." "But, Junior", interrupted the teacher, "how can anyone kill six men with a single rifle bullet?" "Aw, sure he could", replied Junior positively.

We get in the habit of making ourselves too contented, some never rise above a certain level. Some never look forward to what is to come, just so they get along some how. The riders of any sort of a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill. Many things could be accomplished if we did not allow ourselves to become so quickly contented after getting certain things in life. For to live is to function, that is all there is to living.

"Eyefuls" grabbed by the Prattler in her daily prowls: A lot of up-to-now "Northerners," "New Englanders," "Westerners," etc, suddenly turned Alabama-ites on account of the fact that Congressman DePriest, Congressman-elect Mitchell and Mr. William Dawson, composer of "Negro Folk Symphony No. 1, all being Alabama-born. A handsome young man wearing a burgundy suit all white-dot-bespinkled worshipping in a certain church last Sunday. (You're wondering I suppose how I can keep one eye on the preacher and the other on Mr. "So and So".) You know what they say, "Women go to church to eye the clothes and men go to close the eye". But getting back to the burgundy colored suit It was rather fetching I thought. Anyway the "Noisy Ensemble" will, probably be quite the thing after Thanksgiving. For it is rumored that President Roosevelt's "Turkey-Day" outfit will be fashioned of tweed woven of red, white and blue threads. —Chores being sadly neglected in certain homes last Saturday and fond mothers and aunies and even sisters driven to desperation because they had to be doormen, firemen, grocerymen, and even the "goats". And all because the young men of those homes were bustling about, turning things inside out and getting ready to play the part of "Crashers" at the Lincoln Colonnade. But it turned out that everybody had a good time even the imposed-upon sisters, The "Crashers" who made things hum for their guests at their Fifth Anniversary College Set Dansante were: Messrs, Lawrence Fells, Malcolm Oldham, Wilbert Lewis, Julius Pogue, Benjamin Mayo, Frank Parker, Wilburn Pogue, and Curley Marshall. —Young Tommy Glenn putting so much "pepper" in his fingers that Station WOL is insisting that he rattle those piano keys twice a week instead of once. And the things he can do with such tunes as "Mood Indigo", "The Mooche", "Black and Tan Fantasy", etc., is a shame. Nice too, that the up-and-coming Glenn should be giving us "earfuls" of Ellington at the same time that the old King Duke is "Going to Town" at the Fox. —Attorney William A. Lee, Jr., sleepy-eyed (out Saturday till the wee, small hours with the other Legionaries at the Armistice Day Smoker at the Town and Country Club on R Street.) and reserving an extra service medal for rushing out on Sunday to add his silvery tenor to a certain church's choir. (Some of his colleagues, knowing the way that Bostonian can cat, wondering how in the world he was going to sing at all so full had he been a few hours before of hot dogs, salad and—and—well potato chips. —Miss Julia Alexander of 1429 Q Street, smartly attired in black and bearing an armful of autumn flowers on her way to church. Miss Vera Shorts of 1740 T Street, discarding the green-brown idea and appearing ever so attractive in a green-black affair. The grandest thing happening to the Miner Teachers' College Glee Club. Instead of worrying all day over History of Education. Sociology and such, the fifty or more happy boys and girls taxied down town and, over a National Hookup broadcast a glorious group of songs. And now the gracious director, Miss Marie James, is receiving phone calls, telegrams and whatnots saying "A thousand cheers for Miner's Glee Club. Dr. and Mrs. William T. Parker of 1709 First Street, opening the doors of the pretty home to the New Orleans University Club. Mr. Boyd Clark becoming the presidential nominee for the third time despite his persistent declinations. Mr. Charles Cornish making an interesting nomination speech (probably was trying to impress Miss Edloe Brown, the attractive Baltimore Public Health Service nurse, who was visiting the club). Mr. Charles Wesley, goodlooking young nephew of Mrs. Parker and captain of the Howard football team coming in with the sign of victory on his face (the Bisons had a few hours before putting the Hampton-iters to rout). Mrs. Parker serving a daily repast. Dr H. C. Beldon of 1460 Oak Street Northwest, and a man of healthy appetite eating very little because he was too busy trying to take in every detail of his old friend's lovely newly decorated home. And the host, himself, (well you know that interesting little crooked grin he often wears it was right there only a little wider and a bit more crooked. Somehow, when that Parker fellow's face breaks into a beam you really feel that he's glad to have you round.) —Washington College women paying a pretty tribute to Dr. Ruth Howard of Cleveland at the new dormitory of Howard University Sunday evening. Dr. Howard is one of the well-known Howard sisters, among them being Mrs. Bertha Collins, Mrs. Pack, Miss Juanita Howard, there's a brother too (can't leave out the jolly Dr. William). "Twas an interesting affair and the Howards won't soon forget the day when Howard's Frazier Hall was turned over to the Howards and the Washington college women. —Slim, sweet little Miss Martha Wilkins of Deanwood smilingly pegging away at her new job of adding machine operator at the Industrial Bank. Jhast as we had definitely decided to dismiss that Sheif fellow and his Prince Hall Eastern Stars from our minds here they come like "Banquo's ghost" bobbing up again. Then when the whole town is talking about 'em, and pictures of 'em on placards, programs, etc., are peeping at you from etc. a conceivable place, there really was not a possible chance to miss them. A cute cut of Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee, the Grand Royal Matron, a dashing one of Grand Royal Patron Arrington: an excellent likeness of the Royal Matron. Mrs. Cornelia Lewis and then (Heaven help us) a mug of the everlasting Ambrose, Prince Hall's Royal Patron. The occasion that caused such a stir in Masonic and Eastern Star Circles was the Annual Visitation of the Grand Chapter O. E. S. to Prince Hall Chapter No. 5 Past Grand Matron Cecelia Smith is Mistress of Ceremonies, and the program included a play "The Unbolted Door". Mrs Edna French was the able director and among the members of the cast were Raymond Colbert, Olga Hutcins, Beatrice Perry, (Florence Brown, Lettie Simm, Leila Dandridge, Willie F. Brown, Jeanette Bonar and the officers of the Chapter. Attorney Shief played the part of a Russian priest (image that funny man dressed like a friar trying to assume a solemn role). He did it though and all the rest of 'em played like regular troopers. And now the Prince Halls can never turn right or either left without hearing the welcome query "When will you 'Unbolt the Door' again"? This time it's the Philomythians, the Baltimore club that has for its aim the cultivation of all that is fine in music, art and literature. You never can tell what they'll be up to next. When you remember though, that its members are drawn from the ranks of Baltimore and Washington's most popular teachers you really are not surprised at the interesting things they do. There Mrs. Vivian Cook, the lovestick kind of a lady and Mrs. McAhee, one of Baltimore's sweetest singers both of the Maryland City's teaching staff. Mrs. Rosa Hampton and Mrs. Willa Mayer of D. C.'s school system, the two charming Vashitis—Maxwille and Murphy, and six or eight others. Now you find them. Philoanthians rushing off to New York in a body to see some famous opera or maybe a play. Now you find them studying the work of some composer, or the masterpiece of some great painter. You find them again listening to the words of wisdom that fall from the lips of artists, scientists and whatnots. They met in aristocratic St. James Episcopal Church the other evening and were gladdened by an address by Dr. T. L ```markdown ``` California Visitor Bridge Guest Mrs. Mabel Calhoun of Oakland, California was guest of honor when Mr. and Mrs. Albert L.

Brown, Professor of Sociology at Miner Teachers' College. The Philomathians stuck a pin in every high point made by Dr. Brown (used up a pack and a half of pins, so I hear) and when they meet again (not the pins, nor the points but the Philomathians) they'll discuss among themselves the marked up spots of Dr. Brown's address. Then, too, the recent reopening of the Walters Art Gallery with its additions of priceless objects is making Baltimore one of the art centers of the world. And with these extra facilities available to Baltimore lovers of art, we may yet have to get a ladder when we want to reach the proud old Philomathians.

SAYS MITCHELL WAS BACKED BY AL CAPONE ALLY Chicago Leaders Express Themselves on Outcome of Election HARRY FACE, insurance executive; "The most hopeful sign in our political life occurred when our people on the South Side in Chicago showed a very definite party system is good for white Americans it is doubly desirable for a suppressed minority group like ours. We will never be politically free until we divide our votes between the two major parties." TAYLOR, former candidate for Congress. "The election of Arthur W. Mitchell, Negro Democrat, to Congress is a symbol of the sinister influences to which the Negro is victim politically in Chicago. Mitchell has chosen the choice of his people, but because he catered to the white political bosses who control a majority of the white and a minority of the colored votes in the district. His favorable after leaf leaders has become so powerful that the "Uncle Tom" Mitchell among his people, here and elsewhere. The day of the Negro political leader in Chicago has passed for the time being. The men behind Mitchell the ones who have been elected to the district in Chicago, are such as Mike "Hinky Dink" McKenna, a spells and machine politician of the worst type, Julia Benvenuti, an Italian racketeer, and Daniel Serrillie, state senator and former ally of Mitchell. They have been time in a federal prison. Three days before the election, Mitchell met to collect tribute from the royalty Black bootlegger and other racketeers of the district. They cratified overviews of the city. With such backing, he goes to Washington to extend the olive branch to southern whites who still regard his people as their property.

CALLIS TO FIGHT DISMISSAL (Continued from page one) missed and the latest case was in the Chicago Defender controversy with the union when 35 white men were ordered re-employed when the National Relations Board ruled that the men had been dropped summarily. White's Replace Colored It is also charged that white directors are replacing colored workers with white not only at Banneker Center, but at other centers in the city. They are given notices that their services are not needed because of economy and shortly afterwards white persons are employed to do the same work, quite often the whites are given a higher status and more pay. A delegation of citizens are planning to protest this unfair method to Director Street and Commissioner Allen. Workers are Banneker are up in arms as all state that they do not know at what minute they will be fired. Seven have been let out within the last week with the excuse that a reduction in personnel must be effected. Workers Uneasy Thomas Brier, a young man with two small children has been notified that his services will no longer be needed after November 24. "Increased efficiency" was given as the cause for his dismissal. The letter of discharge was sent by D. H. Reed, white, personn officer. Another clerk, the only one in a family of 9 working, was also recently discharged. Mrs. Huff and Mrs. Hintimated that it would take an order from the President to reinstitute Mrs. Callis. Mrs. Callis is a member of Local No. 498 National Federation of Federal Employees which is composed of both colored and white. The local adopted the following resolution in her behalf: WHEREAS, Mrs. Mrs. Callis, Casey and the Chief Emergency Relief and a member of Local No. 498, National Federation of Federal Employees, was summarily dismissed from the staff of the Southeast Division of the Emergency Relief and the definite charges and was given no hearing; WHEREAS, the dismissal of Mrs. Callis will deprive the Emergency Relief Division and the Negro people who are her clients of the organization. The qualified workers in the organization at the present time; WHEREAS, in the capacity as employee and Union member, she has fought against Negro workers and toward Negro clients; WHEREAS, the things for which Mrs. Callis has courageously fought are identical with the things for which the Union BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that Local No. 408. of the National Federation of Federal Employees, protect dismissal and indemnity of Federal Employees, and all its locals to the Director of Public Welfare; to the Commissioner of Public welfare; to the Director of Public Welfare; to the Director of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration; to the F.

A.; to the Joint Civil Commission on National Recovery; to the Federation of Civic Associations; and to the press. Asked for "Case Load" Mrs. Callis went on a vacation some time ago and when she returned she found that she had been demoted from supervisor. The pay of a supervisor is $1,000 yearly. She was not given any work on her return and when she saw a vacancy in case work she asked to be permitted to carry a "case load" which means do the work of a case worker. She was given the assignment. Union members point out that she should have refused to have taken this position and it would have been better for her to stand around and do nothing indefinitely rather than take a case worker's position. A delegation consisting of Frederick Phillips, president of the local; Miss Beatrice Murphy and Mrs. Rose Weinraud, white; presented the resolution to Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Huff. (Continued from page one) son and the leaders in the two lodges declare that both men are loyal Elks and capable, but neither side wants to give in to the other. Humor has it that there is a secret uprising here among the local lodges and if they.....in control over the general chairman and his committee, an attempt would be made to oust Wilson at the session here. Wilson is taking no chances and insists that the general chairman must be in complete sympathy with the grand exalted ruler's program and a man in whom he has explicit confidence. Leaves For Canada Wilson left immediately for Montreal, Canada after issuing the proclamation. He will not return until next week. In the meantime Columbia Lodge will hold a meeting on Monday and Morning Star on the following night. A joint meeting of the committee appointed by the two lodges will be held Saturday. It is expected that this group will stick by Herbert Jones, past exalted ruler, for general chairman. Citizens to Enterve A number of prominent citizens who are interested in seeing the lodges and the grand exalted ruler agree and the convention held here next August, are planning to hold a meeting with the interested factions and reach a compromise. The grand lodge will bring thousands of visitors to the city and thousands of dollars will be spent during the week the grand lodge is in session. Washington business men do not want to lose this opportunity. Wilson and the lodge leaders declare that no personal feeling has entered into the controversy, but neither side will give up his choice for general-chairman which resulted in the emasse and the proclamation calling off the session here.

Wright, 37, was sentenced to serve six months in District Jail, Friday. He gave his address as the 1300 block of Ninth Street, Northwest. Released on parole from Lorton Reformatory last July, after serving two years of a three-year sentence for assault with a dangerous weapon, Wright was again arrested Saturday by Detective William Christian, Third Precinct, on the complaint of his former employer, George Evans, white Evans testified that the defendant, after being discharged from his employ prior to his conviction on the assault with a dangerous weapon count, insisted that he, Mr. Evans, still owed him $60 back salary. Wright is alleged to have called him up, first under his own name, then as another person, and threatened to kill him if the money was not paid. Detective Christian charged the man assaulted him during the arrest. PRESS GAG URGED BY CIVIC GROUP (Continued from page one) Henson declared, "we must first eradicate the things which stimulate crime. We must find jobs for the unemployed. We must get down and help the man in the street—the man who has no job, no education, no influences toward worthy causes. "We can come to meetings and discuss these things as our part of the world sees them. We, 15 or 20 of us, can come in and talk these things, forgetting entirely what is going on in the classes with which we do not mingle. We forget that there are hundreds of people who are not favored with the educational advantages we have—who don't even read the newspapers, except to find out what the 'number' is. These are the people who best know from what criminal practices are evolved and where they best thrive." Problem Called Racial Joseph G. Logan, principal of the Shaw Junior High School, took the floor immediately after Mr. Henson. Mr. Logan declared that the speaker had aroused an interest in him and that he believed a thorough study of the thing should be had by the association before any action was taken toward an alliance with movements made by white city officials. By his reaction Mr. Logan intimated that he was convinced the matter was more racial than was apparent on the surface. Mr. Syphax then obtained the floor and told of experiences he had had as a teacher of incorrigibles in the school system. He went on to point to abolition of corporal punishment and to the adoption of self-expression practices among children as conducive to the evils which are now being fought against. Child Expression Destructive As an example, Mr. Syphax took the recent difference between school officials and pupils of the white McKinley High School. He declared that the spreading of the threatened strikes over the front pages of daily newspapers had a tendency to develop arrogance among the students and a defiance of law and order. It was then that Mr. Syphax intimated that he would like to see the association sponsor a movement in which the newspapers would be approached with a demand to suppress all news that was not of an "uplifting nature." Mr. Henson joined him and between them it was held that this would be a progressive step. "Gag" Idea "Childish" Mr. Shaed disagreed with the idea and stated that any such action would appear "childish." Mr. Hall followed Mr. Shaed and in jocular fashion pointed to the futility of the government in just such a measure as was suggested by Mr. Henson and Mr. Syphax. "If the District Attorney's office can't stop the papers from publishing items so small as racing results and the numbers, I really don't see how we can expect to bring such pressure to bear," he declared. A resolution supporting the District Commissioners and Traffic Director Van Duzer in their opposition to United States Attorney Lestine Garnett's desire to raise the speed laws for Washington, was heartily endorsed by the group. The meeting was brought to a close with the adoption of a suggestion of Mr. Henson to have a committee appointed for the purpose of studying crime conditions among Negroes in Washington and making an effort toward solution of the problem.

CLIFFORD CIVIC LEADER, IS BURIED IN OHIO Was One of the Original Founders of the Local Branch of NAACP Mrs. Carrie Williams Clifford died Saturday, November 10, at her residence, 939 S Street, Northwest, after a brief illness. Mrs. Clifford was a native of Chillicothe, Ohio; grew to womanhood, and was educated in the schools of Columbus, Ohio; was married to the late William H. Clifford, and lived in Cleveland, Ohio until 1908, when with her family, consisting of her husband and two sons, Jay W. Clifford, and Maurice C. Clifford, she became a resident of the District of Columbia. In Niagara Movement For nearly a half century, Mrs. Clifford has been an enthusiastic and effective worker in all movements relating to the advancement of her race. In Ohio she was the first president of the Ohio State Federation of Colored Women, and was the organizer of branches of the Federation in the cities of that State. She was the founder and editor of "The Queen's Garden," the organ of the federation. She was the first colored woman in the country who became interested in the Niagara Movement, and espoused its cause in unmistakable terms, and retained her connections with it until its work was taken over by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Organized Junior League On taking up her residence in the Capital she became one of the organizers and officers of the local branch of that association, and continued in office and was in all its campaigns and efforts up to the time of her death. She was instrumental in the organization of the Junior League auxiliary of the local branch. Founded Krigwa Players Mrs. Clifford had real and substantial literary tastes, and did much by original contributions, and by literary societies and clubs to promote the literary culture and tastes of the community. She was the founder of the "Krigwa Players," a club devoted to the promotion of the Little Theatre, and wrote a number of one-act plays. She was also the founder and president, to the time of her death of the "Literature Lovers." She had a mind responsive to poetic promptings and wrote many short poems, a collection of which was published in 1922, under the title "The Widening Light." Since then she has written and has had published in a number of race journals, other poems. Inter-racial Worker She was a promoter of "The Peace Circle," an organization devoted to the rehabilitation of the Frederick Douglass home. She was also a member of groups organized to promote inter-racial understanding and friendship. Mrs. Clifford was an indefatigable worker in all these lines. Notwithstanding all these interests, she was a charming hostess, and an engaging social personage. She maintained at all times a youthful and spontaneous cheerfulness. She never seemed to grow old. Her interest in young people was one of her distinguishing qualities. She is survived by her two sons, and three grandchildren. Her remains were intered at Cleveland, Ohio; her old home, on Tuesday, November 13.

Hitt in United States Branch of the Police Court, Tuesday morning. The boys, aged 22 and 20, respectively, were held in connection with a purse-snatching complaint filed by Mrs. Gladys Carroll, white, 1450 V Street, Northwest According to the woman, two colored youths about the ages of Paris and Taylor, approached her near Fourth and V Streets, Northwest, last Friday night and snatched a pocketbook containing a large sum of money. She did not definitely identify the two defendants but insisted that they looked very much like the men. Boys Deny Crime Paris and Tayler both denied the charge. They held that they had spent the earlier part of the night together at a party in the 1500 block of U Street, Northwest. Inquiry by police of the Second Precinct allegedly revealed that no party had been held at the house in question on the night of the reputed thievery. Paris was described by his attorney as an upright youngster with no previous record. His reputation for honesty and good character was attested to by proxy statements from physicians in the Medical Building, Eighteenth and I Streets, Northwest, where Paris is employed as a porter. Taylor's reputation was also described as being above reproach. Bond was set at $1,500 by the court, pending later developments before the grand jury. Insurance Co.

Walker Post, No. 26, American Legion of the District, assured J. O. O'Connor Roberts, Department Commander, that it will co-operate in aiding the District Department to bring the national convention of the Legion to the Capital in 1937. In installing Louis H. Russell, Dunbar High School teacher, as Commander of the Walker Post, last Thursday night, Commander Roberts pointed out that the American Legion has never held its national convention in the city and that 1937 marks the 150th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States. Color Bearers Leon Petite and H. Smith of the Post participated in the American Legion exercises at the Unknown Soldier's Tomb, Sunday. Commander Russell, Dr. T. E. Jones, Department Surgeon, Dr. George L. Johnson, and Warrick Alexander had seats in the post box at the amphitheatre where the exercises were held at Arlington.

Hayden Johnson, president of the Board of Education, will study all phases of the athletic system and make recommendations for improvements in the physical training departments and the conducting of the games. The ruling cancelling the white high school series in no way effected the series between Cardozo, Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools and it continued, Friday, at Walker Stadium with Cardozo battling Douglass High School of Baltimore to a scoreless tie. Officials Observe A host of school officials including Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools; A. K. Savoy, Assistant Superintendent; Principals Robert N. Mattingly and Walter H. Smith, of Cardozo and Dunbar, respectively, and Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the Physical Training Department of Senior and Junior High Schools, witnessed the encounter in an observatory capacity.

Seeking More Revenue Seeking More Revenue He declared "We had been anti-cipating going to Griffith Stadium long before the recent trouble arose as the open fences and other circumstances under which the games are played at Walker Stadium make it impossible to protect the games from outsiders." The Walker Stadium, where the high school games have been played since its dedication in 1931 is surrounded by an open wire fence with stands on only one side—the north side. At each game in the past more spectators have watched the encounters from the outside than from the stands. Dr. Henderson stated that there would be a better chance of gaining support for high schools athletics by the promotion of the games at Clark Griffith's ballyard.

HURRY! lan Davis, white, principal of Roosevelt High School, intimated in his testimony that a race riot might be precipitated by the continuance of white football games at Central Stadium. He declared that the possibility of serious trouble loomed because of lack of proper policing and the fact that many colored spectators viewed the games from the open side of the enclosure. His point was quickly passed over, however, as Charles H. Houston, dean of Howard University Law School and board member, inquired as to whether or not the same could happen regardless of the color of the spectators. Davis admitted it could. Differing sharply with Principal Davis, Paul McGoffin, white, referee of the white high school games for over 10 years, paid tributed to the colored spectators who line the stadium fences.

DANIELS WAS A VICTIM OFMUSTE. ‘oe ies ot What was: interrupted as a “crack” at Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, was made last Saturday at the funeral of Dr. Uriah Jame Daniels, a former Howard professor, by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, also a former associate of Dr. Daniels at the uni- versity. In his remarks at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Dr. Jackson said: “My friend and former associate Dr. Daniels, lies here before me cold in death, a victim of studied injustice. He ‘was crucified upon a cross of academic bigotry and his Yery soul burned out upon the al- tar of lechrons ingratitude, in the court-yard of the institution which gave him his professional birth. Headed For Scrap Heap “That our Negro institutions too vften suffer from the stigma of small time leadership, is evidenced by tragedies such as this; small time leadership foisted upon us ‘out of nowhere into somewhere, but which ends up in getting nobody anywhere, except to the scrap heap of human’ wreckage.” Dr. Jackson's remarks had direct reference to the condition of mind and body that seized Dr. Daniels soon after his displacement at the Howard Medical School, where for a number of years, he was an in- structor in bacteriology. Dr. Daniels, who was active in all civic betterment work, was born in Camden, New Jersey in 1871, the son of a Methodist minister. He re- ceived his primary education in the District of Columbia public schools, but graduated from the Harris- burg, Pennsylvania high school. In 1894, he received his medical de- gree’ from Howard University, and for 40 years was a practicing phy- sician in Washington, where he built up a lucrative practice. ‘At different times he was public school physician, and physician to the poor. During the World. War he was commissioned lieutenant in the Reserve Army Medical Corps. On February 22, 1900, he married Miss Mattie S. Robinson, of this city, who survives him. He was a member of the Physicians Reading Club, the Musolit Club, the Eureka Lodge of Masons, the Young Men’s Protective League, the Banneker Relief Association, Crispus Attucks ‘Association, and ‘served. at_times as trustee of the John Wesley Church.
