New Group May Be Host to Grand Lodge Convention Here Next August
With both sides girding for a long legal struggle, local Elkdom this week marked time, waiting for the opposing faction to make the first move.
In answer to the many charges hurled at him for appointing Dr. Charles Fisher as general chairman of the entertainment committee of the grand lodge session which may be held here next August, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finkley Wilson has remained silent, but under his supervision the Greater Washington Lodge of Elks, a third lodge here, is making plans to enroll 500 members.
Called High Hatters
Headquarters have been set up in the Masonic Temple with the Theodore Botts in charge. Maurice C. Clifford is chairman of the organization committee and Attorney J. Flipper Dernicotte, temporary secretary. The new group is holding meetings at the Musolit Club and already some 200 members have been enrolled.
Since the new lodge is composed mainly of professional men, it has been dubbed the High Hatters and Silk Stocking Lodge. Members of the new body met Wednesday evening and on Saturday a smoker will be given at the Musolit Club.
New Lodge May Be Host
It is pointed out that if the two lodges here, Columbia and Morning (Continued on page 3)
In a statement to The Tribune this week, William H. Davis, former deputy of Elks, denied that he was dismissed last week by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson because of inefficiency.
In a statement last week Wilson stated that Davis' dismissal was not due to the present controversy over the general chairmanship, but was on account of inefficiency.
Davis exhibited several letters between himself and the grand exalted ruler which show that he was dropped for supporting the lodges.
Wilson's Letter
Under date of October 26, the grand exalted ruler wrote Davis the following letter:
November 5. . . 954
The District Deputy is a direct representative of the Grand Exiled Ruler and in fact is the acting Grand Exiled Ruler during the absence of the Grand Exiled Ruler of the District of Columbia.
I have been somewhat embarrassed ever some of the runners which have come to me from time to time, but I never jump at conclusions; my representative must self me himself before I take action.
We are having some discussion in my administration here in the District over the Chairman of the General Committee for the next General Committee. I informed that a group who are opening my appointment have selected me as their recording secretary and I am
MINISTERS DENY RIFT IN RANKS
Ordination of Preacher at Shiloh Called Irregular by Conference
The Rev. Robert Anderson, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Victinity, denied this week that the body took action against several local ministers who participated in a recent ordination service at the Shiloh Baptist Church, several weeks ago.
However, the Rev. Mr. Anderson stated that an executive session was held on the matter last Monday. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church, stated that "we all left the meeting peaceful and shaking hands." Dr. Jernagin evaded a yes or no answer to a direct question as to whether charges were preferred against the ministers who ordained the Rev. T. Austin, local minister of Shiloh Church,

Playing on a field dotted with miniature lakes and before a crowd of 3,500 persons who braved the wrath of the elements, Howard defeated Lincoln, 13-6, in the thirtieth renewal of the annual gridiron classic here today (Thanks-giving).
A steady downpour of rain which set in just before dawn and continued throughout the morning and afternoon, left the gridiron of the Howard Stadium—despite its hogback—a veritable sea of mud.

Span clean jerseys lost their color after 3 minutes of play by the wearers, and there came a time when the direction in which the players were running was the only means by which spectators could differentiate between the sides.
It's All Wet
Newspaper men sat huddled in the make-shift press box, armed with umbrellas, rain coats, souwester hats and old editions of their brain children, but there was no relief. As weapons against the relentless rain these articles were much like the proverbial pop-guns in a revolution.
Plans for play-by-play accounts of the game had to be abandoned before the contest was 10 minutes old. Water that sleeped down inside of collars and ran uncomfortably up coat-sleeves kept the members of the fourth estate busy with both hands toward other ends than narrating a football game.

The adverse weather conditions made fumbles frequent and players of both teams experienced much difficulty in handling the pig. (Continued on page 12)
Following a spirited meeting of the executive council of the New Negro Alliance Monday evening at the offices of Eugene Davidson, editor of the Opinion, organ of the association, plans were formulated to carry on a fight for economic justice for Negroes in the District. A rumor of dissatisfaction within the organization was dispelled when all of the members agreed on a concerted policy. Some members told The Tribune last week that charges would be brought against an officer of the Alliance. These alleged charges were not mentioned in the meeting and all left feeling that apparent harmony existed within the ranks of the body. Rumors of a split within the organization brought out the entire membership of the council. A reporter from The Tribune was asked to leave before the meeting began.
'H'STUDENTS ASKS COURT SPIKE PEP TO AID IN MEETING MIXUP
Student Council Refuses to Endorse Gathering at Lincoln Theatre
Angered because officials of the Lichtman Theatres would not consent to the entire student body of Howard University attending the pep meeting held at the Lincoln Theatre, Wednesday night, free of charge, the Student Council of Howard, led by Carlton B. Goodlet, president, tossed a bombshell in the original plani of the theatre management.
When it was learned that only members of the two teams—Howard and Lincoln—and seven leaders would be admitted to the pepfest, the university Student Council circulated announcements on the school campus stating that the body did not endorse the meeting.
The circulars, distributed on the university campus Wednesday morning, declared the meeting seemed "to be simply a money-making scheme, concocted by the management of this corporation, not for the benefit of, but at the expense of Howard students." It further urged that all students be conspicuous by their absence. Regardless of the lack of attendance on the part of Howard students, the meeting went on but lacked the real spirit usually man- (Continued on page 3)

9 CASE WORKERS ARE APPOINTED
A number of appointments of social workers, promoted from the position of case side were recently made by Miss Alice Hill, Director of the Emergency Relief Division of the Department of Public Welfare of the District of Columbia and have either been approved by the District Commissioners or are now awaiting their approval. These appointments are in line with the policy of the Emergency Relief Division to appoint people of experience and ability to its staff for the delicate and difficult work of handling the problems of relief and rehabilitation of unemployed and destitute families and individuals in the national capital. The announcement was made by Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare.
The appointments follow: Maurice A. Coates, Frank C. Montero, Harry Payne, Ethel Williams, Gertrude Wright, Lawson Veney, Mayme Foster, Viola M. JJackson and Raymond Wiggs.
Other appointments of case workers are under consideration and will be announced as they are recommended and approved.
N. R.A. Lodge Protests Dismissal of Mrs. Callis
Protests against the dismissal of Mrs. Myra Callas, Federal Relief case worker of this city, have been sent by NRA Lodge No. 91, American Federation of Government Employees, to Federal Relief officials. Copies of a resolution to this effect, adopted at the last meeting of Lodge No. 91, have been dispatched to William Cleary. Dirstrict Emergency Relief Director; Melvin C. Hazen, Commissioner of Public Welfare; Elwood Street, director of Public, Welfare, and Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator. Mrs. Callas' immediate reinstatement is asked.
Rev. Hubbard Said to Be Living in Virginia With Deacon's Wife
Claiming that the assistant pastor, the Rev. James Hubbard, had run away with a deacon's wife, members of the First Born Church of the Living God, first block of H Street, Northeast, sought the office of the District Attorney in police court Monday in an effort to get the tangled affairs of the church straightened.
In the group was the two complaining witnesses, Deacon Ben Davis, 1327 I Street, Northeast and Mrs. Anna Hubbard, 129 P Street, Northwest.
Believe Pair in Virginia
Mrs. Hubbard said her husband, the Rev. James Hubbard, had left for parts unknown with Mrs. Etta Davis. The pair is alleged to have left the city Saturday. Services were held Sunday with the Rev. J. Quarles, pastor, officiating. The Rev. Mr. Quarles was in court seeking to secure the aid of the law in returning his lost sheep.
The entire membership sadly left the court when the District Attorney told them that the matter was beyond his jurisdiction and they would have to seek other means. The Rev. Mr. Quarles and his flock was last seen in a huddle with Attorney Chauney D. Artis. Mrs. Hubbard stated to a Tribune reporter that her husband besides preaching is an employee at Quantico and she is under the impression that the pair are now living in Fredericksburg.
LOCAL LAWYERS SNUBBED IN WAR ON RACKETEERS
Washington Bar Group Not Invited to Any of Meetings Held
By W. HAROLD FLOWERS
Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, was guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Washington Bar Association held at the Musolit Club, recently.
The speaker was introduced by W. L. Houston. In the very able address, which preceded the adoption of a constructive program by the association, Mr. Vann discussed the relationship of the Negro lawyer and his client. It was pointed out by the speaker, that the Negro lawyer has depended upon four fields of the legal profession for practice; divorce, contracts, corporation, and criminal practice.
Being Crowded Out
According to the facts revealed criminal and divorce practice are no longer open fields because of newly developed social agencies which are attempting to remedy the wounds of society, and are crowding the lawyer out of the picture.
He appealed to the members of the bar to encourage and support Negro business as the Negro lawyer will depend more largely upon contracts and corporations for a clientele.
Following the address of Mr. Vann, Richard W. Thompkins responded in behalf of the Washington Bar. Short talks were made also by Judge James A. Cobb and Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr.

ASK COURT TO INSTALL TEACHER
Mrs. Eva T. Honesty Sues In Effort to Gain Teaching Post Through Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Perry W. Howard, Mrs. Eva T. Honesty, 740 Fairmont Street, Northwest, entered the courts, late last week, in an attempt to compel the Board of Education to appoint her as a teacher of biology in the senior high schools.
Mrs. Honesty and the school governing body have been at odds since the refusal of the latter to appoint her at the beginning of the current school term. That her husband, Harry A. Honesty, holds a position on the government payroll is pointed out as the basis of contention that she has no right to the appointment. Mr. Honesty is employed at the Congressional Library which, according to school officials, puts both his wife and him within the scope of the "married persons clause" of the Economy Act.
Qualified
As a result, Mrs. Honesty, though qualified in every requirement respect, was denied the school job because of the previous employment of her husband in the government.
The same argument, presented in vain before the Board of Education, is offered in Mrs. Honesty's petition to the court. Attorneys Hayes, appearing with Mrs. Honesty and Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr. at a special meeting last September, told the school authorities that they were misinterpreting the Economy Act. He stated that the provisions under act merely offered a preference to (Continued on page 2)
NEWS REPORTERS FARE BADLY AT GRID CLASSIC
Practically no arrangements were made for newspaper men at the Howard-Lincoln game Thursday. Visiting representatives from out of the city as well as local reporters were overlooked entirely. Clarence W. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, has been in charge of arrangements for the game since the abolishment of the Department of Public Information which was headed by Emory Smith. Newsmen were forced $t_0$ work in an uncovered press stand and no effort was made to furnish them with the necessary information that is usually accorded members of the press. A pouring down rain made writing impossible.
For some reason Howard was unusually stingy with passes to newspapers, although the papers have given miles of space in free publicity on the game. Out of town schools extend newsmen every courtesy and even provide them with quarters if it is necessary.
Speaking before the International Industrial Relations Institute Regional Conference on Social Economic Planning, New York, Eugene Kinckle Jones, advisor on Negro affairs, Department of and so-called special units in Commerce, flayed jim crew setups in government for Negroes. Mr. Jones presided over the session of the conference at which the public Works Program was discussed. Over 300 public officials, economists, managers in industry and educators from all parts of the world met for the 6-day conference at the Russell Sage Foundation.
"I am glad that at this particular conference there is no special Negro section. For this would furnish for many otherwise interested persons a conscience-balm that would enable them to consider the problems as a whole without reference to what become of the Negro In the final adjustment, this on the assumption that a special section dealing with the Negro should be able to work out some special program for the Negro to graft onto the main outline." Mr. Jones concluded.
Claims General Had No Right to Give Dance Thanksgiving
A damage suit involving the entire General Executive Committee of the Howard University General week when the Washington Local Alumni Association loomed this Alumni Association started action against the General. The proposed court action is a result of a dance given last night (Thursday) at the Masonic Temple in which the name of the General was used as sponsors.
According to Mrs. Estelle C. Jackson, vice president of the Washington group, Dr. A. Maurice Curtis, Jr., president of the General, gave her organization permission to stage a dance on the campus.
In the meantime Michael (Cassani Jones, executive secretary of the General, widely advertised a dance at the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, for the same night, Mrs. Jackson claims her a fair was the official reception and the only one that should bear the official stamp and name of the general body. Jones advertised his dance as official and as a result the crowd went to the Masonic Temple and the dance on the hill was called off at the last minute after elaborate preparations had been made. Dr. Curtis called a special meeting of the General Executive Committee Thursday in order that the entire matter may be explained. Dr. Howard H. Long, chairman of the General Executive Committee, presided

JURY VOIDS TALBERT WILL
Circuit Court Body Calls Document Forgery; Caveat Won
A District Supreme Court jury, sitting in circuit session, adjudged the filing of a caveat justifiable in connection with the contesting of a will purported to have been left by James E. Talbert, now deceased, by three of his four children, early this week. The case was brought to a close Tuesday, eight days after it was opened.
Three points were brought to issue in the court fight. Leighton Talbert, John Talbert and Mra Neurissa Gray, two brothers and a sister, filed the caveat requesting that the will be abandoned on the grounds that their father was of unsound mind, that the signature on the testament was not authenticated (Continued on page 3)
Many notable Negroes were in attendance at the conference, among them, Dr. Charles S.

southeast section held their meet-

From this humble beginning the
church moved about as conditions

sermon, Sunday, “a few, the Chris-

fled out of Jerusalem unto the hills
to the City of Pella where they en-
joyed safety and peace. Thus we
too can flee God's eternal wrath on
Judgement Day. Even as an ark
offered escape for Noah, and as
Zoar became the refuze for Lot,
and as Pella in the hills gar
safety for the Christians, 29 wa of

HOUSTON NAMED ON COMMITTEE TO PROBE ATHLETICS
vestigation of Games and Physical Training Dept. Ordered by Board
Charles H. Houston, dean of the Howard University Law School, was one of the five members of the Board of Education, named this week on a committee to investigate and improve conditions in local high school athletics. The committee, appointed by Dr. Hayden Johnson, president of the Board of Education, includes Henry I. Quinn, chairman; Mrs. Henry Grattian Doyle, Henry Gilligan and George M. Whitwell, all white. Quinn was the author of the motion authorizing the investigation of the school athletics at a recent meeting at which the Board ordered the cancelation of the remaining grid games among white schools. The order followed an alleged riot at one of the encounters.
Moves Scene of Games
Following the Board's decision, games between Dunbar, Armstrong and Cardozo High Schools were moved from the old scene Walker Stadium, to Griffith Stadium where the final contest between Dunbar and Armstrong was staged Monday.
According to the resolution, the committee will "investigate and devise ways and means to establish a broad and efficient plan with reference to all school athletic contests and to investigate also the physical training department of the public schools and to make recommendations to the board." The scope of high school athletics may be broadened to include the entire student body instead of team members only if the committee adheres to suggestions made at the meeting.

In pursuance of this policy, each major student will exhibit his work for one week.
The shorthand and typewriting classes of the fifth and sixth periods, under the direction of Miss Leanna F.

ELEVEN
DATE FOR NEGRO HISTORY WEEK SET
Important Feature Includes Summary of African Background
The literature for the celebration of Negro History Week, February 10, is now distributed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1538 Ninth Street, N. W. Washington. Every church, school, or club may obtain one copy of the Negro History Week pamphlet free of charge. Other assistance in meeting special needs will be given upon request. The Negro History Week Pamphlet for this coming celebration contains an important new feature, a summary of the African background of the race. The Pamphlet for the first time, too, is illustrated with scenes from institutions which have manifested the spirit of the celebration and have thus popularized the study of the Negro. Progress even in Africa is thus portrayed.
As to the African background the director of the association for the Study of Negro Life and History has taken high ground. Briefly told, the early history of Africa is very much like that of any other continent. Just as we have learned that the Japanese, Chinese, Hindu Assyrian and Babylonian empires developed in Asia, and just as we likewise surveyed the rise of Carthage, Greece and Rome, so we find their parallels in Kumbi, Mossi, Manding and Songhay.
Their history shows a social and political order which maintained the peace, provided for the public welfare and promoted human progress. The people were healthy, industrious, happy and long-lived. Their kingdoms and empires endured as long as the most successful of ancient and modern times.

Certain sportsmen here are plan-
ning to make the golf season of
1935. one of the most progressive
and interesting ever enjoyed by
local fans. Plans are being formu-
lated whereby the local golf calen-
dar will boast of three money tour-

foursome “shindig.” I'm sure these
affairs will be of much interest to
local players and are sure to bring
out some very good playing.

One time that a call other than “taps” sounded like a dirge was
when the bugler |lew “To Mount,” for yesterday's (Thursday's)
seventh race... Turf fans of the District and Baltimore reluctantly
turned their backs on the last Maryland track to promote a fail
program, . Mos: of them went away behind, but that didn’t mean
much. . . They just like to bet on the hosses—and lose.
“Tout,” author of this column, can Well boast of the way he’s
conducted himself in the matter of wising his readers up to the doings
of the ponies. Watch Him was a winner; Soon Over won one and
ran second once; Kissingbug ran second; Only One took down a
nice 8 to 1 second: Sound Advice ran a surprise second to Common-
wealth and to top them all off Tabitha copped two straight for the loyal
sons and daughier
Led by the sensational Francis
(Pete) Freeman, Tech quarterback,
whose 66-yard Yun in the opening
period put the Generals in the van
to stay, the Temple-coached eleven
outplayed the Poets on the serim-
mage line and in the air to pile up
nine first downs to the Maroon and
Black team’s three. The Generals
with Freeman on the throwing end
and Neverson, fullback, doing the
majority of the receiving attempt-
ed a dozen passes, five of which
were completed for a gain of 98
yards. Three were intercepted. In
contrast, the Poets were able to
make good on but three passes in
seven tries for a total gain of 25
yards
Runs 66 Yards
Long before half of the near
8,000 spectators who witnessed the
clash were comfortably seated,
Armstrong had paihed. over &
touchdown on a thrilling run from
scrimmage by Freeman. Three ex-
changes of punts gaye the Generals
the pigskin on their own 34-yard
stripe, Freeman attempted a pass
to Briscoe but the aerial failed, and
on the next play, Fenwick broke
through and tossed him for a 5-
yard loss. Tech called time out,
On the play succeeding the brief
rest period, Freeman electrified the
fans with his run,
On a fake kick, Freeman skirted
left end dodging three would-be
Dunbar tacklers, raced toward the
sidelines and finally cut back into
midfield to elude the Poet safety
man and sprinted the remaining
distance to the goal line as the
Armstrong stands went wild with
glee. His attempted placement for
the extra point went wild.
After the kickoff, Freeman heay-
ed a 26-yard pass to Neverson who
was brought to earth on the Poet
22-yard stripe, From this point,
the Techmen with Briseoe plung-
ing for repeated gains marched to
the 13-yard mark as the quarter
ended. They failed in the next
three tries and the Poets took pos-
session of the ball. Again in the
first half, the Generals drove to
Dunbar's '20-yard mark but relin-
guished possession of the oval as
Gosion intercepted — Freeman's
heave to Neverson.

Armstrong threatened to score
again in the third period after
Hightower, Poet back, fumbled on

Had a long talk with Clarence
Reid, the youthful colored =ppren-
tice rider who has heen having
such a nice fall season in Mary-
land, between races Saturday. A
very little fellow who has little or
nothing to say except. in answer to
folks, Reid, nevertheless, is a
likeable chap.
Born 16 years ago in Upper-
ville, Va.—and if you don’t know
it, folks in Upperville will swear
by their knowledge of hoss-flesh—
Reid came to Washington jugt 3
years ago. He came along with
R. M, (Matt) Smart, the veteran
Negro trainer of hosses, and Reid
and Smart's son, Raymond, are
quite chummy.
Making 103 pounds without
much effort, the youngster, with
the aid of Smari, got himself a
few mounts as Rockingham Park.
He rode so well he won the hearts
of a number of stable-owners who
did not hold contrsci< on some of
the veteran jockey. His success
contniued = there came a time
when he di see a day pass
that he ‘sailed Yo net two or more
mounts,
to the three-yard line in five tries.
Here the Poet forward wall held
for downs and the ball went over.
Gaining the pigskin on their own
24-yard line after an exchange of
kicks in the fourth period, the Gen-
erals marched down the field for
their second touchdown of the
zame. A long pass, Freeman to
Neverson, was good for 33 yards
and placed the ball on Dunbar’s
43, Briscoe in two plunges added
another, first down and another
pass, Freeman to Neverson, was
declared good by Umpire Hawkins
when Contee interfered. This ad-
vanced the oval to the Poets’ 19.
Briscoe Gees Over
An end run by Freeman, two line
thrusts by Briscoe and a 5-yard
penalty for off-side moved the ball
up to Dunbar’s 3-yard mark from
where Briscoe plunged over the
left side for the touchdown. Never-
son booted the extra point from
placement,
Fighting desperately, Dunbar re-
ceived on the next kickoff and_un-
leashed a passing attack. They
gained little via the air and again
resorted to a kicking game which
had been the Poets’ chief weapon

In the four months he has been
riding, Reid has garnered 28 win-
ners. He needs 40 winners to lose
his bug, which means nothing ex-
cept that he will leave the appren-
tice ranks and become registered
as a full-fledged jockey. Appren-
tice boys are given a year to ride
40 winners. Reid, therefore, has
8 months left in which to ride 12

He lives with Smart and his

Petersburg Eleven Favored
for Tournament of Orange
Blossoms Event
PETERSBURG, Va.—California
has its Tournament of Roses,
bringing together the “big time’
elevens of the East and West to
vie for supremacy on the gridiron.
Florida, California's viva! in many
respects, not to be outdone by the
“sun kist” State, has organized a
“Tournament of Orange Blossoms.”
Thus the promoters of Florida’s
Orange Blossom Festival annually
invite an outstanding team in the
C.LA.A. to meet the Florida A. and
M. College team in a football game
at Jacksonville, as one of the chief
features of the event.
This vear the Virginia State Tro-
ians have been invited to meet the
“Famcee” Boys in the Jackson-
ville Municipal Stadium on Satur-
day, December 8.
_ Trojan Mentor Pleased
Coaches Jefferson, Verdell and
Barnes, “The Big’ Three,” are
proud of the honor thus conferred
upon their charges, especially since
it comes in the first year that the
combination has worked together.
They are therefore exceedingly
anxious and determined to bring
back to Virginia whatever mythi-
cal title accompanies victory over
Florida in the Tournament of
Orange Blossoms.” The team, of
course, is in the same frame of
mind; and Florida will be put to
a hard task in this first intersec-
tional clash that the Trojans have
been a party in,
| Last year the Howard Bisons un-
der Tom Verdell were defeated by
the Florida team 9 to 6 in the
Orange Blossom event, in a game
marked by thrills and’ keen inter-
est throughout. Florida is thus
one upon the C.LA.A. series. The
Virginians are determined to even
up the score, both for the glory of
Virginia State College and the
prestige of the C.LA.A.
_A large delegation of Virginia
State supporters will in all prob-
ability accompany the team.

The Hornets were in form and kept the lads from Downington always in their own territory. Downington held the Hornets for one quarter but the powerful lunges of the Delaware backs netted a touchdown in the second quarter on an off tackle play by Joody. The extra point was added by Roberts.
Before the half ended the Horots had pushed over their second pouchdown on an end run by Wynter. Roberts failed to get the exa point. At the end of the half the score stood, Delaware 13, downingtown 0.
In the second half Downingtown time back with the fighting spirit the Pennsylvanians and held the hornets from scoring but failed toore themselves even with the spectacular runs of Brown and Mcamey, Banks, Craver, Bunting and Parish performed well for the downingtownians.

JACKSON VICTORY UNPOPULAR; JUDGE REFEREE OUSTED
N. Y. Boxing Commission Fires Officials After Votes Are Questioned
NEW YORK—Investigation of charges fired at Harold Barnes, a judge, and Danny Ridge, referee, both white, resulted in the indefinite suspension of both by the New York State Athletic Commission late last week. The action followed arrival at the conclusion that the men were guilty of being biased in their decision in the recent Young Peter Jackson-Sammy Fuller boxing match.
The California colored boy was awarded the decision over the Bostonian in a fight at Madison Sq. Garden on November 16. Two days later. William J. Brown, newest member of the boxing commission, stated that he was not altogether satisfied with the judgment. Brown immediately began an investigation. At the next meeting of the body he suggested that certain referees and judges were "doing business with the gamblers."
Someone Favored
"Someone got a favor in the Jackson-Fuller match," he said. Neither Brown, General John J. Phelan nor D. Walker Wear, the other commissioner would discuss the matter further than to say the suspensions "were for the best interests of boxing," and to announce that in the future any judge or referee who makes "an obvious mistake, whether honest or otherwise, will be discharged." Jackson was knocked down three times by Fuller in the fight that aroused all the controversy, but was awarded the match on the basis of ring generalship and aggriveness as Barnes and Ridge scored. Judge Abe Goldberg voted for Fuller.

ATLANTA, Ga.—The Blue and Gold Bulldogs of Fisk University surprised an overconfident bunch of Maroon Tigers here at Ponce de Leon Park but weakened in the final period and were defeated by a margin of two touchdowns. The numerals were 13.0 when the timer's whistle ended the game.
The first three quarters found Tubby Johnson's aggregation playing an inspired brand of football with a team rated their superior by three touchdowns. However, the Morehouse eleven wasn't to be denied its bid for a first division berth in the Southern Conference rating, and proceeded to tally two touchdowns and an extra point in the last quarter.

Duvall Brothers Settle Argument on Gridiron
The issue which has been a bone of contention in the "House of Duvall" since last November when the senior Duvall, Penbrook. Armstrong High Center, played with the victorious Techmen in the annual clash with Dunbar was again decided in Penbrook's favor Monday as Tech defeated the Poets 13-0 for the city title.
The junior member of the Duvalls, Carlisle, Poet pivotman, has twice tasted the bitter pill of defeat at the hands of his brother and his brother's teammates. After last year's loss, Carlisle vowed to avenge the defeat and try as he did the cards were staked against him so Penbrook still rules the "House of Duvall" when it comes to football.

Ambling About Among Amusement Artists
Our trek around the country drops us off in the nation's capital this week. We're hearing lots of nice things about Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, Seventh and T Streets, Northwest. The people in Washington seem to be quite fond of the sleek boss of their "landmark of playhouses."
Not since the days of the popular "Supper Shows," at the T Street house, has the theatre made famous by the Thomas brothers, Andrew, Louis and Vincent, had such a consistent attendance. We're not far from the truth when we make such an assertion. The Howard remained open for a summer season this year for the first time in many, many days.
Allen, he it said to his credit, has succeeded in pleasing a town that (pardon our language) is hell to please. Washington people don't like to say a show "is good." In the days before the advent of talking pictures and the resultant theft of musical comedy production from the stage, the Capital City was usually the place where prospective Broadway "hits" were baptized.
"Shuffle Along," "Liza," "How Come," and the various editions of "Brownskin Models" and others showed at the Howard FIRST, enough proof to the belief that if the show "clicked" in Washington it could "make" any town.
Well, those are the people who the popular Howard manager is pleasing.
Performing with the poise and relative artistry of seasoned troopers, Brooks' Baby Orchestra was heard in Los Angeles in its first recital last Sunday, by a large and appreciative audience.
The orchestra is composed of youngsters ranging from four to nine years in age. They were taught on free instruments by Mrs. Ethel Brooks, of that city.

NBC's big New Year's eve orchestra celebration with other bands over the country. This will mark the first time in many months that Cab has played at the spot that made him famous.
Although the drama critics raved over Hall Johnson's "Run, Little Chillun," produced by Ben Guy Phillips with the backing of the Urban League of Chicago, the public simply wouldn't go for it and report is made that the production grossed less than $2,000 in two weeks and about $6,000 in the red.
On one night Gertrude Stein's "Four Saints in Three Acts," which had everybody loco, netted enough to give $6,000 to charity and played to near capacity houses in the huge Auditorium theatre at all performances.
While "Run, Little Chillun," was trying to pick up a thousand dollars a week, Irving Berlin's "As Thousands Cheer," with Ethel Waters, was grabbing off $28,000 during its first week in the Grand Opera House with extra chairs placed in the aisles.
Chief loser in the Urban League effort is Elbridge B. Pierce, genial president of the local organization. He had certified more than $2,000 in checks before the play had its premiere.
Jules Bledsoe made his first appearance with the Cosmopolitan Opera Association in the role of Amcnasro in "Aida" Saturday evening at the Hippodrome, New York.

On their Southern tour, the Mills Brothers ran into some interest, thanks about their act, notably (1) they have white chauffeurs for their four Lincolns, (2) John Mills died last year and a substitute assumed his name, (3) the other three boys aren't even cousins, and (4) they spend money like the w. k. d. sailor, so why shouldn't he set-ups for any and every kind of a touch? For the record, it be said that the four of them own one Lincoln, which they lent second-hand and drive themselves, that John Mills is very much alive and about to become a father, that the four boys ARE brothers, now aged 20, 21, 22 and 23, and that by far the greater proportion of the money they have earned restles in a Cincinnati bank. They pay themselves surprisingly small salaries, and the remainder of their earnings goes into a trust fund... Tiny Bradshaw and his Harlem band will play for the Scarsdale Bachelors' Cotillon next week.... The hot-cha vocalist with Claudie Hopkins' band on WABS-CBS is Ovie Austin, Hopkins' first trumpet player. Orlando Robeson still hits the top notes on the orchestra's less heated arrangements.

nett plays the star role, and the scintillating actress' latest hit, "Outcast Lady" is no exception to the rule.
In "Outcast Lady" Miss Bennett as Iris March is the innocent victim of scandalous tongues which cause her to change her nature of living entirely. With the world its back upon her, she fights to retain her self-respect but the wreckage of her life leaves a bitter mask on the man she loves as well as on the members of her family.
Others in the cast are Herbert Marshall, Hugh Williams, Mrs. Patrick Campbell and Robert Lorraine. This picture was adapted from Michael Arlen's "The Green Hat."

Two great stars—Stepin Fetchit and Will Rogers—in the story of Irvin S. Cobb's greatest character "Judge Priest" will be the attraction at the Booker T Theatre for 8 days beginning Thanksgiving Day. According to advance reports, the picture establishes Fetchit and Rogers as the best co-starring team in films. Rich human interest, blended with tears and laughter in this tale of a sleepy southern town—which is not too sleepy to cradle stirring drama—establishes "Judge Priest" as one of the greatest dramas of the year. Don't miss this picture.
Supporting this great picture is a short of exceptional merit entitled "I'm Her Lily" which serves
to introduce the Five Spirits of Harmony—a miniature edition of the Mills Brothers. These five children ranging from three to nine years in age, provide some of the strangest harmony ever heard in a picture

Memphis, Tennessee, for New York City with a single purpose in mind—to take "big time" radio by storm. They did.
The four arrived in New York one Wednesday, gave an audition in the Columbia studios on Thursday, signed a broadcasting contract on Friday, and made their network debut with Morton Downey's Studio Part on Saturday.
The four young singers since have proved to be one of the major talent finds of the year. Morton Downey himself "discovered" the boys in Memphis when he was touring in vaudeville. He subsequently induced them to come to New York. The Beale Street Boys, named after the colorful Memphis avenue, are James Pugh, 21, baritone; V. David Pugh, 23, bass; Willie C. Barnes, 21, first tenor and guitarist, and Robert Davis, second tenor.
The Pughs hail from Memphis. Barnes from Rolling Pork, Mississippi, and Davis from Charleston, Mississippi. They will make four appearances on the Lincoln

HOLC Injects Color Question in Denying Loan
NEW YORK. — The contention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the Home Owners' Loan Corporation is making some unfair distinctions and discriminations in considering applications of colored people gained support this week when the N. A. A. C. P., came into possession of a letter from John W. Childress, assistant to the Chairman of the HOLC in Washington, D. C., to Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan of New York. The letter, which was in reply to a query relative to the loan application of Andrew Morton, 238 West 136th Street, New York City, carried the statement: "It seems that the applicant is a Negro and is 81 years of age, etc." "The Association considers this of great importance because of the precedent being set for dealing with the applications of Negro home owners for relief.

MORRIS L. MURRAY
The Niagara Falls? Why I've been there. The Grand Rapids and the whirlpool. I've seen all that water there. Why. I even went swimming with a cute little chick (Cleopatra) down by the ancient river Nile and shot crap with King Tut's only child. Say, I could tell you gangs and gangs of things of how I gained my wealth, but I'm not the kind of mug who brags about himself.
I've sense enough to know that those Holkywood cats had the wrong idea by making Cleopatra a white woman. Yet we, the Negro youth of today, flock to the thetres to witness a performance of that sort that is crushing the history of the black people. The only black characters in the show were the slaves of the barge. Why couldn't those naps out there in Hollywood drop down to Dunbar and see if A. Marshall wouldn't have been a better example of the oriental beauty of the lovely Cleopatra?
Several members of the "Piece" stepped down to the Southwest section of the city to participate in a good ole chitt'lin' party. With the gang all there the boys really had a swall time. Afterwards the mob fell over to a certain boy's house who is quite popular around Dunbairy. By the way—we all had ham to go along with the chitt'lin', and while we are on the subject of hams, picture, Joe Martin telling the girls how to hold their boyfriends. You had better practice what you preach. Remember charly begins at home.
Note—Napolaon was a great ruler but he went away to the cooler, when the wagon came.
Gossip Hearing
"How's everything this morning, Judge Watts?"
"I'm all ears, so help me, sarge
de pal," said the jerge.
"What's the foist squabble on the
venue today?"
"Well, Jerge, 'Finchel' Newman, case, must be heard."
man's case must be heard." "In that case proceed with the hearing. By the way, where is the grand jury?" "Oh, Jerge. I have picked the best car-drummers of the postgraduate class to decide the verdict." "Now, we shall hear both sides of the question," said Watts.
The clerk of the court stood up and read Finchell's past record: "We find the defendant, an ex-boy friend of H. Lewis who in the merry month of August was involved in a free for all with a certain guy over in Virginia," explained the clerk. "Stop right thar, it's killing me," said his honor, jumping up. "What's this?? the Attorney for the defense asked. "Jerge, yer honor, inasmuch as Finchell was given the impression that he had a chance with L.E. by the latter's bosom friend I feel that my client deserves an immediate acquittal."
"There can't be any acquittal until both sides are heard."
"Yer honor, may I, the prosecuting attorney, present my case?"
"Proceed."
"There have been certain rumors about the defendant and L.E. being that way about each other. Mr. Finchell took it upon himself to tag after my client and I ask of you to sentence him to shame as a breaker of the constitution of the Pimp-Sticks, around the purple and white institution."
Jerge Watts in making his decision made a few very rare remarks about the defendant. Mr. Finchell had nothing to say to the press as he was hurt severely.
This column is in deepest sympathy with Finchell, as he did what he thought was best. Any way, what's one gal when there are millions of 'em? So-oo the case of Walter Finchell goes down as a black mark against the Jerge's career. Maybe the Jerge liked the stool, who brought the defendant to court. Who knows?

W. University boys and the other two schools...Scallions to James Watts (the sophomore gnat) for leading a certain pep yell that would make a good blockout on any stage that features trashy affairs....The gloomy look that Edward Jones sports around the halls is all due to the fact that the Marie Smallwood is paying too much attention to Jasper Pookrum for his comfort....It seems as if John Euell has finally been hooked for good....Alda. Compton was the unlucky fisherman....And why does Billy Plummer so gracefully deny that he falls down to Dunbar to see Norma Pinkett?....Can it be that he is too bashful to openly profess his love for her?....Old man truth always win out my boys, so you just as well confess....FLASH....Only six characters showed up to take part in a private hop sponsored by Melvin Ailer, and two of them were not doubled, which made the affair very onesided....Mr. Ailer and (E.V.) took advantage of the opportunity and pitched a ball all by themselves....Another highlight of the affair was this....After everyone had feasted, Wendel Tracy somehow reached the conclusion that he had not quite fulfilled the obligatin to his face and promptly fell back into the kitchen

Connie Lucas, veddy veddy charming female swimmer of note and a graduate of Cardozo Business School has dyed her locks to a very becoming shade of red. Connie is one of the few members of our fair sex who has gotten away with this experiment. The Ravers "pitched a ball" last Friday night at the home of Wallace Curtis that will be talked of for some time to come. Joe Bostic, Vivian Yates, Leon Scott, Edith Jones, Ray Lundy, Elsie Jennings, Richard Johnson, Ann Branch, Edmund Edmead and Alice Jones were a few who helped make the night a thing of beauty and a joy forever ... how am I "laying it?" While on the subject of "balls" you may like to know that the Klub Hollywood staged a successful affair last Tuesday night at 1507 U Street. It was at this attic that Makidy Hall, popular young business man of Tenth and U Streets fame made an enviable reputation. "Mac" treated every person in the house to eats and drinks...whattman! ... ye oldie Richard Poole is called the "ranker". He gets a kick out of "ranking" fellows particularly when their girls are around. tut, tut Dick. Davis Board lost his Dodge last week, but the poor thief had pity on Davis and returned the machine. Mr. Board, on what part of your anatomy is that horse-shoe hidden? I have my opinion. Thelma Wolfford is another one of Washington's lovely things who has become a convert to the Forum's growing ranks... lovely Thelma. Bernice Woodruffe, a visitor from Harlem "gay-spot" it with the Don Juans' crowd last Sunday evening. The "gang" was entertained by Miss Alice Jones last week...and what a hostess is Alice. your commentator was very "mellow" last Sunday evening...shall I come again, Alice? While speaking of Alice, I am reminded that those Jones girls, Alice and Edith are O.K. with the boys. No "I-am-this" and "don't-do-this" attitude with them. James Brooks and Lewis Young "ditched" the gang last week...my friends, my very good friends, too. Ruby Smith, God's gift to Washington males, is not only ultra, ultra "charming" but boasts an excellent singing voice...thinking of the lines that run this way "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air," reminds me that Washington has abundant talent among young people that needs bringing out...singer, rancers, amateur actors and actresses, orators, artists, poets et al...but why are we wasting it?...Members of the Lincoln Congregational Church together with members of the Young People's Sunday Forum held a joint get-together at 1743 U Street last week, and discussed social and economic problems of interest.

YOUR ST
and YO
By
ABBE' WALLI
Youndest Mentalist on the Amer
A. M. C.-I am very poor and
have children to support and I
wonder if I will find a regular job
soon?
Ans.: It is very unfortunate that you were left a widow with six little children to support but I am happy to tell you there will be a change for you and your children. Your oldest son will change his ways and will get a job and go to work. You two will hold the family together until other members are old enough to work.
W. E. S.—Tell me if this woman here likes me as I like her?
Ans.: Not the least thing from her mind is to fall in love with you. She knows you are a MARRIED MAN and she has too much respect for her good name to consider your proposition. You had better get her off your mind for she wouldn't have you if you were single.
M. M. G.—Did the woman I have in mind leave the money where I told her to and did someone get it?
Ans.: The woman that you did some BEAUTY CULTURE WORK for did not leave any money for you under the lineoleum in your home. If she had meant to pay you she would have done so when you did the work for her but now it has been some time and she still hasn't paid you so you may as well forget it. Don't try running all your business on this scale or you will go broke.
A. M. S.—Does this man I am engaged to love me as much as he says and when will we marry?
Ans.: He cares as much for you as he says that he does and the only thing that keeps him from marrying you right now is the fact that he is not sure he can get along with your TWO CHILDREN. I see you both living happily together however, and the children giving neither of you one minute's trouble.
L. T. M.—I am terribly worried about something and I want to know if you can tell me anything about it?

Lewis, Cunningham and Bester to Address Forum
The Tuesday Evening Forum of the Y. M. C. A. will be present in a panel discussion Tuesday, December 4, at 8 o'clock. Jessie Lewis, head of the Department of Business Administration, Howard University; Simeon L. Cunningham, secretary and manager of the Federal Life Insurance Company, and William Bester, local salesman. They will discuss the business outlook of today. Mr. Lewis will speak from the subject "Banking and Finance," Mr. Cunningham, "Insurance in business," and Mr. Bester, "The Change From the Older Order of Business to the New."
Judge: You have been charged with voting three times.
Prisoner: Then I've been gipped—they only paid me for twice.
Mrs. M.: What's the difference between a fort and fortress?
Mr. H.: I guess a fortress is harder to silence.
Diner: Waiter, I ordered chicken soup not vegetable soup.
Waiter: Excuse me, boss, I thought those pieces of celery were feathers.
Tourist: What does a little town like this want with such a big hospital?
Native: This road has more auto traffic than any other.
Citizen: Why didn't you stop that man when I whorled "Stop thief."
Fellow: I never meddle with a political quarrel.
Willie: Pa, what is a hen-pecked
husband?
Pa: Why it's a man whose nerve
is in his wife's name.
Ma: How did you get that paint
on your trousers?
Boy: I didn't get the paint on
my trousers: I got my trousers on
the paint when I sat down.
We have much and little to be
thankful for.
CAR YOU
RACE
Ican Stage
Ans.: Yes, I can tell you that you are worrying foolishly, for there is not a thing to your worries. There won't be any BABY BOOTS around your little apartment for a long time and there is no sense in getting excited.
B. P. T.—What and who is responsible for the trouble I am having with my well?
Ans.: It appears to me that there are some very narrow minded people living around your home who are jealous of you and they are putting things in your well to try to get you fixed. They do not realize that this is an impossibility and that they cannot harm you in any way with these actions. They now realize that it is useless and they won't continue to try it.
J. M. A.—I am in need of help very badly; what would you advise?..Should I still rely on this party?
Ans.: If you are not careful you will be taking advantage of your boy friend's generosity for he has been helping you so much later you should hesitate to ask him. I believe that if you and YOUR MOTHER will pull together that you will be able to get by.
Z. Z.—Is my husband going with any lady since I married him?
Ans.: No, he is not and he is not responsible for the letter that was written you immediately after you married either. This letter was sent by a very NOSY OLD BUSY BODY who would like to have won your husband for herself and couldn't, so she decided to break you up. Pay no attention to such trash.
L. G.—Please tell me where I can locate my uncle?
Ans: Your uncle is living in the EAST at this writing. For ten years after he left your home he lived in FORT, WORTH, TEXAS, but he hasn't been there for several years. I don't think that you will get in touch with him for he is not going to write to anyone.

in_ the first skirmish of. the legal

McKinney, another brother, over
property belonging to their-father,
Samuel A. McKinney, deceased
Counsel for both sidec agreed
that the motion of Dr. McKinney
for an order of specific perform-
ance, which would entitle him: to
take possession’ of the property for
which they ate fighting. should ‘be
abandoned. This. agreement. was
reached early this week out of
court,
Dr. McKinney, living at 1519
First Street, claims in his origine!
bill that he purchased the house at
1515. First Street, in March of
1919. He states that. the property
was conveyed to his father in 1922,
he, however, retaining the deed ‘to
the property with the unkderstanti-
ing Shae he would take care of gil
the ii ibrances. 4
Felt He Was Suspected
The plaintiff further declares
when he turned the house over to
his father, he did so to allay cer-
tain suspicions that he, influenced
by his wife, might take some step
that would’ rob his parents of a
home in their old age.
In their answer, fileu late last
week by Attorney George A. Park-
er, the defendants assert. that ‘4
property was -purchased ‘by th
father. They state that Dr. McKin-
ney acted as intermediary upon the
purchase of the place. According
‘to them the property was purchas-
ed by, their father in the name 6f
‘their “brother. This transaction,
however, they hold was not per-
formed with the undersiandije
that he should: become. possessor

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1. 1924
board our petition which we had
sent in to the trustees and we were
assured that the General Alumni
woud withdraw in favor of the Lo-
cal Alumni, and Mischael (Casey)
Jones was advised by Dr. Long to
withdraw his petition and he con-
sented to do so. We do not feel
that two efforts can be successful-
ly carried out. For the greater
part of the promotion is drawn
from local constituents, consequent-
ly we tried to have this matter
adjusted before making any plans
for the affair, and now after we
have gone to considerable expense
to entertain the visitors, we find
the Genera Alumni advertising for
a reception. We went to the gen-
eral executive committee because
we wanted to get its sanction and
reaction before making any definite
plans and be sure that either the
General or Local individually or
jointly should have charge at the
coming Thanksgiving season.
Upon receiving this sanction we
went ahead with our plans, You
Know we are peculiarly situated in
Washington and work here in a
dual capacity. We serve the Gen-
eral Alumni here in many ways,
for instance when we have the
Charter Day Dinner we entertain
graduates from all of the States
and often the number exceeds 300.
Local was Given Sanetion
If we had not been given the un-
derstanding that we would have
full right of way, we would have
been giad to have supported a joint
jaffair. For these reasons we feel
that we are not unreasonable when
we ask to be given absolute free-
dom in our own territory, or at
least be accorded as yespectful and
honest dealing by the mother or-
ganization because the General is
made up of locals from all over
the country and surely the mother
organization would not oppose the
child for whatever success comes
to the child comes to the mother.
In light of these facts we there-
fore respectfully await your reply
of adjustment. We have had an
interview with Dr. Long, chairman
of the executive committee, and
have reached no understanding
Consequently we appeal to you,
the highest official of the General
Alumni for your definite and can-
did consideration. The minutes of
the General Executive Committe:
of October 21 will show that right
of way was given to the Local ant

immediate action as is indicated by
a letter, a copy of which I am en-
closing ‘herewith.

Curtis's Letter to Jones
November 24, 1934
Mischael (Casey) Jones,
Dear Sir:
I have received several disturb-
ing letters, telegrams and_tele-
phone calls from the Washington
Local concerning your holding your
“Official Howard General Alumni
Association, Ine,” dance, While I
appreciate the efforts that may be
expended for the General Alumni
Association, yet I do not feel that
anything should be done that would
in any way tend to injure the
Local,
In my conservation with you on
the 10th inst., you informed me of
your intention to hold this dance
and I in turn told you that it was
ty understanding that at the ex-
ecutive committee meeting of the
General Alumni of October 2ist,
last, the Local had been given psr-
miasion ta hald tuch an a@air sed
ly sanctioned your holding this af-
fin This, morning T ellet Be
Long by long distance on the
‘phone and spoke to him personal-
ly, He informed me that upon
your application to him, he referr-
ed you to the committee on Alumni
Office, and that th you re-
ported to him that you had con-
ferred with and had received ynani-
mous consent of the last mentioned
committee and upon your inform-
ing him of this fact, that he then
sanctioned your holding the Gen-
eral affair, ;
ave ‘received no word from
the committee or Dr, Howard Long,
as to whether or not they had
given you official sanction tg hold
the affair and therefore feel that
the use of “Howard University
General Alumni Association, Inc...
official” is improper and entirely
unfair to the local unit, T also am
informed that you are using my
name as well as Dr. Long’s on your
adyertisement. In view of the fore-
going, I expressly demand that you
refrain from using any words that
would in any way attempt to indi-
cate that the affair that you are
sponsoring, has anything to do
with the General Alummi Azsocia-
tion, or that it is official and atso
‘refrain from using in any connec-
tion whatever. either my name or
‘Dr, Howard Long's name.
T also object to your using your
official name on the advertising so
@s not to attempt to nfislead any
persons as to the capacity in whien
you are running the affair.
_ Thave called for a special meet-
ing of the Executive Committee of
the General Alumni for Thursday,
“November 29 at 9 am., at which
‘time the matter will be more fully
gone into, and at that tims I also
wish to take the necessary steps to
avoid any such misunderstanding
or controversy in the future.
A. MAURICE CURTIS, Jr.

elation,
Local's Lawyer Writes
November 27, 1934
Dear Sir:
T represent the Howard Universi-
ty Alumni Association of Washing-
ton, D.C,
It has come to my clients’ atten-
tion that your name appears upon
an invitation which is said to have
been “placed in the mails to thous-
ands of Howard Alumni and their
friends over the entire country,”
as one of the committee responsible
for this invitation, ‘The invitation
states “General Alumni Associa-
tion of Howard University most
cordially invites you and’ your
friends to their Annual Classic,
‘Thanksgiving Night, Thursday,
November 29, 1934.”
In an advertisement published in
the press of the week of November
24, 1934, released in Washington
on Thursday, November 22nd, and
bearing the names of Dr. Maurice
Curtis, president; Mishael (Casey)
Jones, general secretary, and Dr.
Howard Long, chaimran Executive
Committee of’ the General Atumni
Association, the affair referred to
is called ‘the “Annual Official
‘Thanksgiving Football Social
Classic,” and the publi¢ is urged
to go after the game Thanksgiv-
night—Howard University General
Alumni Association, Inc.,_ Official
Football Reception, the Social
Gassic” and is notified that guest
tickets may he secared at the Gen-
eral Alumni Ofiice.
We assume therefore, that you
are personally sponsoring this af-
fair, which we arp in a position to
prove is not being given by the
General Alumni Association and
hag not its official sanction, The
only officia: social affair ‘to be
given in the city on Thanksgiving
is that of the local club which T
represent,
Tam advised, however, that even
if the so-called “Official Reception,
ete,” at the Masonic Tempe is the
official act of the General Alumni
Association, it is a breach of the
promise of the General Alumni As-
sociation mad» to my clients. that
the General “Alumni Association
would hold no reception at. Wash-
ington this Thanksgiving. In con-
sideration of which, the Howard
University Alumni Association of
the District of Columbia has gone
to considerable expense, which it
‘would not otherwise have incurred,
only tobe placed in the position of
‘competing with the Genera Alum-
nj Association on what has been
called a “Classic Occasion.”
This is, therefore, to satisfy you
that my élients have instructed me
to take such steps as will hold you
personally not only to strict ‘ae-
‘countability for the profits derived
by you and the losses sustained by
them, beeause of your action in
the premises, but, for such other
damages as may legally result be-
cause of the matters above men-
tioned,
Very: respectfu'ly,

New Negro Prophecy and
Its Prophets
By AMORY WALLACE
(For ANP)
That. the future of the Negro
race in “America lies in its
complete assimilation with — the
White race is the startling prophe-
ey made by Dr, Paul Baker in his
new book “Negro-White Adjust-
ment,” just issued by the Associ-
‘ated Press. And this is not the
kind of prophecy ane from
vague spiritual visions, holy calls
or mad dreams. It-is, instead, a
prophecy on what may be the
greatest collection of known facts
and authentic documents ever as-
sembled by one man to show the
liberal point of view on this sub-
ject.
Tn peetieting that the Negru
must be amalgamated with the
white race to gain complete ad-
justment in America, Dr. Baker is
stating an honest opinion based on
the first complete and liberal sur-
vey of the work of. the interracial
agencies in this country.
We must listen with respect to
the voice of a man who makes such
a prophecy, however astounding,
when it is based on years of pro-
found and unbiased research into
the real facts about this moving
and dramatie subject so highly im-
portant to the welfare of boti
races,
We mist listen all the more
acutely when We’vealize that this
prophecy comes from a born and
bred southerner, Dr, Baker was
born and raised in Texas, He was
surrounded in youth by the “old
southern” point 6f view toward the
colored race, But to his eredit he
gtew out of it,
Having lived and studied in the
north (at Union peg at Semi-
nary, and Columbia University)
and at Fisk and other southern
seats of learning, Dr. Baker is a
rare case of a southerner who un-
derstands both viewpoint, _an¢
Who can implicitly and firmly be-
lieve in the equality of rights and
opportunities regardless of the ac-
eident of birth, color, or economic
‘status. When such a scholar, shorn
of all racial, sectional and other
petty biases makes a prediction,
we can listen, knowing that we are
getting near the truth.
Tt goes without saying that Dr
Baker's book has created a great
stir in conservative southern cir.
ews. And of course also in th
same hide-bound circles in the
north, Southern whites are espe.
cially incensed at this book anc
its ideas which they claim are sub
versive, dangerous and highly de
structive to their own ‘points ‘0
view,
And, of course, they are danger
ous to the conservative, hard-bitter
point of view of men who seek tt
Preserve the status quo, and whe
Seioke shey have @ right to kee)
tlie Nekro “in his place.” Dr
Baker has challenged this right
He has more than challenged it
He has marshaled facts to prov
that it is no right at all, but s
wrong.
Dr. Baker exaxmines the history
methods, poiicies, and technique:
of the ten interracial agencic:
in America. Not content with
methods and effects not often dis
the obvious, he ferrets outsubtl:
cernable to the agencies them-
selves.
He shows, for the first tims, by
his wide view of thé entire field
the duplication of effort and meth:
od, of policy and goal. He ther
summarizes and interprets the re
sults the agencies achieved or at:
tempted, by a close examination of
some forty cases of actual conflict.
ing situations where the agencie:
applied their methods,
The cases cover those of open
conflict, as exemplified in lynch.
ings, murders, riots, sex ctimes
and segregation, as well as the
many projects to prevent such con.
fliets,
Unquestionably, Dr. Baker ha:
made an unique and much needec
contribution to the question of Ne
gro-white relations. While his
prophecy may be startling te many

Star. fail to come to terms this new
lodge may be host to the grand
lodge session.
Morning Star’ and Columbia
maintain that Wilson exceeded his
authority in appointing Dr. Fisher.
The two lodges named Herbert
Jones for the position and claim its
the soverign right of the lodges’ to
appoint the general chairman.
Wilson issued a proclamation two
weeks ago calling the tro, lodges,
Columbia ‘and Morning Star, in
subordinate, The lodges resented
this and demanded a retraction
within 10 days or they hinted a
$50,000 libel suit will be filed
Againet the: grand exalted: ruler.
ne 10 days are out and so far the
suit has not been filed.
se Compromise Seen
spite the-fact that some of ti
members of Morning Star and one
ubia are sticking by. Jones, they
‘are open-minded -and will agree on
a compromise.. This has been sug-
gested. The plan is to call off
both general chairmen and both
sides get together and select a third
"The
e Names prominently mention-
ed for the post are John T, Rhines
and Emory B. Smith. Both are
representative and popular with all
Elks. It is said that both sides
are agreeable to the proposition.
In a statement this week Perry
W, Howard, grand legal advisor,
stated that the grand exalted ruler
was perfectly within his right to
name the general chairman and
further stated that both exalted
rulers of the Columbia and Morn-
ing Star Lodges expressed their
intention to abide by the rules and
laws of the order in the matter of
entertaining the convention.
Howard Issues Statement
Mr, Howard, said:
“In view of the many misleading
statements by various persons with
regard to the entertainment of the
grand lodge here, I think I should
make a brief statement with the
hope that it will help clarify the
situation,
“During the Grand Lodge ses-
sion in Atlantic City the grand ex-
alteg ruler (Mr. Wilson) called me
to his chair while presiding over
the session, and stated in substance
that he had been approached by
the leaders of both Columbia and
Morning Star Lodges, and asked to
use his influence to haye the next
grand lodge sesson herd in Wash-
ington; that he was very anxious
to have it here as he knew thet the
rank and file of Elks, and other
heople would enjoy entertaining
the next session; that it was highly
necessary however that there be
unity of action between them, and
that while his experience in Wash-
ineton heretofore, in regards to
grand lodge entertainment, had not
been. very satisfactory, ‘still he
would be delighted to let Washing-
ton have this session.
Exalted Rulers Agree
“The grand exalted ruler then
requested me to get the two exalted
rulers—Brothers William Harris,
and Allan C, Griffith—and such
other of their leaders as they want-
ed present in a conference, and as-
certain whether or not if the grand
Jodge should meet in Washington
could he expect them to peacefully
foiiow the rules, customs and regu-
Jations that had governed the en-
tertainment of the grand lodge
heretofore; that the by-laws pro-
vide, and the custom has been that
the grand exalted ruler shall ap-
point the chairman of the general
‘entertainment committee and he re-
Guested particularly that I find out
whether or not they would oppose
the observation of this law and
custom. I was assured by both
exalted rulers, and those who were
associated with them, that every
Tule. every law and custom that
has obtained heretofore with re-
gard to grand lodge entertainment
ould be strictly observed by them,
“This is what occurred at the
Grand Lodge session. The grand
lodge was brought here, and ws
Jeave it to the general jurisdiction
and to the general public to reach
their conclusions and opinions as to
the subsequent conduct.
Stuck By Law
“The grand exalted ruler, with
the consent of the trustee board
has acted in strict accordance with
the laws, rules and customs of the
order, since this is a matter wholly
in his diseretion, The by-laws, give

‘The executive committee is said
to have sustained the charge made
by the Rev. Mr. Gray.” It was also
reported that the Rev, S. G, Lamp-
kins, chairman of the executive
committee, tried to have the con-
ference suspend parts of the cons -
tution that referred to the chs...
because many of the ministers of
the council did not know they were
violating the constitution.

in ‘such a capacity in America
Mr. Hammonds, formerly @ schoo!
teacher, entered the service in
1907, taking the Civil Service
examination in Indianapolis, Indi-
ana his home state. Within two
weeks after receiving notice that
he had passed the examination, he
was appointed to the Reno station.
The following year he was trans-
ferred to San Franeisco, and dur-
ing his time there, he was for a
while in sole charge of the weather
bureau station on the South East
Farallon Islands, thirty miles off
the Golden Gate, where weather
conditions are recorded and boat
Passings noted.
In 1910, Mr, Hammonds return-

stationed since that time, At pre-
sent, as second assistant observer,
he Works entirely in the main Reno
office and observatory located on
the top floor and roof of the new
post office building. For five years,
however, he made a monthly trip
to Donner Summit at the top of
the Sierra Nevada range to engage
in snow studies there, recording
the weights, depth and’ density of
the snow generally found on the
high mountains the year around,
‘An account of these observations
may be found in the September
issue, 1923, of the “Monthly
Weather Review” issued at Wash-
ington.

Hammonds ai. his office, I found

other recordings, which are then
wired to the central weather sta-
tions in the East, Mr. Hammonds’
work also consists of \compiling
data for the monthly and yearly
weather reports from Reno and the
making of a daily map of isibars
and isotherms,
Everything about his work and
his office seemed so dependent upon
charts, maps and instruments, that
I asked Mr. Hammonds if ‘there
was no longer anything to the old
time methods of forecasting
weather, such as aching. bones
testifying the comnig of rain, and
other signs which the old people
possessed. Mr. Hammonds laughed
and said, “That's rheumatism, not
rain!” And he went on to assure
me that amateur weather phophets
were much less accurate than
charted government observations.
“No official weather bureau, how-
ever, ” Mr, Hammonds said, “at-
tempts to ‘predict with any de-
gree of accuracy the state of the
weather for more than thirty-six
hours in advance. Calendars and
almanacs that do so are merely
basing their predictions on past
averages, not on any knowledge of
the future that anyone possesses,
and such long-distance predictions
are very frequently wrong.”
This former school teacher of
Indiana says that he finds his work
‘with the weather very interesting,
‘and that it cannot become
monotonous as no two days have
ever been known to be exactly
alike, nor any summer or winter
like ‘the preceding summers or
winters, ‘There is indeed “infinite
varity,” in the life of a weather
observer, according to Oscar H.
Hammonds, the ‘Negro weather
man of Reno. .

Legalize Gambling
The same crowd that raised a hue and cry for prohibition is now howling against the playing of numbers here. We have no brief for gambling or gamblers but the game of chance is one of the frailties of the human race and should be treated as such. The cry that newspapers can help stop numbers playing by refusing to publish the totals of races will be no more effective than when the Clearance House totals were stopped when the same crowd brought pressure to bear and newspapers refused to carry daily balances. The public substituted race totals and numbers became more popular. The gambling-minded public will find other means to select the daily "number" if the race totals are cut off.
Only one paper in the District has the courage to continue to publish the totals since the campaign against numbers started.
Other papers publish race results, but not the totals. Maybe the other papers carry the race results for the Maryland population and those of the District who attend the races or possibly the results are carried for the inhabitants of Florida and Havana in the winter months.
Since the totals have no news value what value have the results if these newspaper campaign leaders are sincere in their desire to stop gambling here. Those who attend the tracks do not need to come to Washington to learn the results.
Evidently the results are published for the benefit of "bookies" and those who gamble here in the District. Since men and women will gamble why not legalize it and use the tax to help the army of unemployed? These same busy-body crusaders should at least show their sincerity and consistency and include marble playing. church fairs and stock exchange on their taboo list.
Put New Deal On Spot
Colored people should use every opportunity to take the various tests in the government service and become qualified for the different jobs being offered in Civil Service examinations. Most of us have refused to take the various examinations here of late because there has been a policy of barring Negroes from Civil Service jobs despite the fact that they are qualified. The photograph system has been another reason why many of us do not take the trouble to take the examinations because the picture of a colored person in itself was a bar to jobs.
Now it is said that colored people are not employed in the various branches of the government because none are qualified or are on the eligible lists. Those who are fitted and have had the experience should take every examination offered. Put the New Deal on the Spot.
Learn the Particulars
The recent action of Police Court Judge McMahon in fining a white youth ten dollars because he lit a cigarette in court, according to newspaper stories, does seem drastic, when it is asserted that the youth admitted that it was his first time in a court room, and that he was not familiar with courtroom conduct.
A ten-dollar fine is a severe blow to anyone during these days of depression and one does wonder whether a reprimand would not have been all that was necessary. But—
However logical such argument may be, there could have been such a pugnaby the youth towards the court that the cious or discourteous an attitude taken Judge's decision was justifiable. We must learn to condemn less, from hear-say, and try to obtain all of the facts before getting all "het up" and exploding.
Young men get little sympathy by complaining about what their parents failed to do for them.

Are we really honest with ourselves
The Rise of Negro Democrats
President Roosevelt has chosen two distinguished Negro Democrats to high federal positions. His assignment of qualified colored men to important posts in several departments is most encouraging.
When I was a boy in South Carolina, in the heyday of the Reconstruction period, a Negro Democrat was regarded as an abomination to God and man, a traitor to his race, and was ostracised as a social outcast with whom decent folk would have nothing to do. When we consider the contrasted attitudes of the two political parties at that time, such rebuke is at least understandable. No Democrat of prominence rose to the surface until the administration of Grover Cleveland, in 1885.
Frederick Douglass, a Republican holdover, became eulogistic of this liberal Democrat. I heard his address in which he said, speaking of his position as Recorder of Deeds, "I am ready to go, and willing to stay."
In my list of political celebrities, in last week's release, I failed to mention the names of any distinguished Democrats. These were so few by comparison that the omission was an oversight.
MAKES APPOINTMENTS
President Cleveland appointed James C. Matthews, of Albany, N.Y., to succeed Fredrick Donglass as Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Matthews' appointment failed of confirmation by the Senate. Thereupon, Mr. Cleveland appointed to that position Mr. Trotter, of Boston, father of William Monroe Trotter, who also failed of confirmation but served till the expiration of Congress.
Southern Democratic Senators at that time could not entertain the idea of confirming a colored man to high office even though he professed to be of the same household of political faith. The Rev. Moses Hopkins, of New York, was appointed Minister to Liberia. Thereupon he died and was succeeded by C. H. Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. John W. Thompson was sent as minister to Haiti. These Negro Democrats were confirmed for these purely Negro governments.
During Cleveland's second term Mr. Taylor was appointed and confirmed as Recorder of Deeds to the District of Columbia. I believe that this was the first senatorial confirmation of a Negro Democrat for federal office in the homeland, under a Democratic administration. It is the only one of record until the appointment and confirmation of Dr. Thompkins as Recorder of Deeds by Roosevelt who was unanimously confirmed by an overwhelmingly Democratic Senate.
HINDERED BY THE SOUTH
Both President Cleveland and Wilson appointed several colored men as ministers to Liberia. President Wilson appointed Adam Patterson, Resigter of the Treasury, but at his own request the nomination was withdrawn to save the face of his political sponsor, Judge Robert H. Terrell, though a Republican, was appointed and confirmed as Municipal Judge by Woodrow Wilson.
When erstwile Republican Negroes found that Grover Cleveland was generously disposed towards the race, they fell over each other seeking appetitive favors at his hands. President Cleveland's first administration threatened to divide the leadership of the race between the two parties. But his second administration was much more reactionary which drove them back into the Republican fold, only to be sorely disappointed under McKinley and the long line of Republican successors, Theodore Roosevelt furnishing a notable exception. Since then the Negro race has been gradually sinking in the estimation of the G.O.P.
OVER NEGRO LEADERSHIP
Under Woodrow Wilson's administration, Bishop Alexander Waters assumed the role of Negro leadership. Candidate Wilson made glowing promises of what he intended to do for the race which he found it difficult or impossible to fulfil. His good intentions were attested by the appointment of Patterson as Resigter of the Treasury, which he was forced to withdraw. He found himself so dependent upon Southern Democratic support that he dared not offend him for fear of jeopardizing his principal measures.
A distinguished Democrat high in the councils of the party told me that President Wilson, as soon as he got his chief measures out of the way, was going to give the race more important and significant appointments than any President had ever done before. Just then the clouds began to thicken. The World War loomed above the horizon. All else was swallowed up in this great holocaust. There were, however, more Negroes in the civil service than at any time before or since. Many were given officer's ranks.
President Wilson inaugurated the policy of appointing Negores to important non-confirmatory positions in the various departments of the government. Dr. Emmett J. Scott was assigned as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War and Prof. George H. Hayes to a similar post in the Labor Department. This policy has been followed by succeeding administrations, Republican and Democratic.
This brings us down to the year of our Lord, 1932, and the years of Franklin D. Roosevelt one and two.
F. D. ROOSEVELT IS CAREFUL.
President Roosevelt has chosen two distinguished Negro Democrats to high federal positions. Dr. Thompkins as Recorder of Deeds and Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier as special Assistant to the Post Master General. But as Captain Henry would say, "This was only the beginning."
The assignment of qualified colored men to important posts in several departments is most encouraging. Never before, in the history of the Government, has such a group of colored men with technical and special fitness and preparation for their task recruited the ranks of the federal service.
The day of the Negro Democrat has arrived. He measures up fully in character, caliber and quality with his republican counterparts and the stigma of reproach has been rolled away from his name.
Roscoe Simmons, of irresponsible rhetoric, during the last Presidential campaign, said that any Negro who voted the Democratic ticket should be sent to hell. Judging by the recent election I fear that the pyrotechnic orator would relegate the better portion of his race to the hotter place.
Ex-Congressman DePriest, by slip of tongue, said in New Jersey that any Negro who voted the Democratic ticket was a skunk. My distinguished friend is not the only eminent
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1944
Think it Over By Judge W. C. Hueston
"WE SHOULD CLIENT OURSELVES IN REGARDS TO OUR POLITICAL RELATIONS"
Now that the election is over and it is time for all groups which go to make up the policies of this country to begin to evaluate themselves, it is imperative that steps be taken by the Negro race to permanently orient itself in its political relations.
While much is being said about the organization of new political parties, the political history of the country warrants the statement
that there is no room in this country for two great parties, due to the fact that ours is not a parliamentary form of government.
PETER M.
Wishing, of course, not to be elementary still it is not out of place to state that ours is a republican form of government, which means government by representation. Moreover, our government in theory, is one of principles.
W. C. Hueston and not of men. This being true, if either one or a group hopes to go far, either in being counted or in making a contribution to the common weal of the people of this nation, it is necessary that said person or group develop some plain, easily stated principles for the good of the whole, announce them and then labor unceasingly until the majority opinion of the country accepts said principles. The Negro race, politically, has just been going along insofar as the politics of this country are concerned. They have permitted others in the nature of party formation, to announce, not only the principles, but to select all of the candidates and then hand them to us and we have accepted them without question, because of the fact that they had the party labels' of the parties which we were to support. Personally, we have been Republicans, traditionally so, and there has not been much else that we could have been without blushing every time that we have individually given serious thought to our political aspects.
We are not quarrelling with those who have announced allegiance to the Democratic Party. While we have doubted their wisdom, in view of certain conditions obtaining within that party in relation to its attitude on our manhood rights and public accommodations in certain sections of the country, we have left that entirely to the judgment of those who have made the espousal.
But, whether in the Republican Party or In the Democratic Party, we have not offered any leadership in relation to either the determination of the policies for which these two great parties have stood, or in the selection of any of the major candidates in either of the parties.
We have said all of the above for the purpose of drawing your attention to the fact that either in the building or in the rebuilding of the minority party, whether it shall be named Republican or something else, it is essential that the Negro proceed by way of leadership and organization to determine our objectives and they are very easy to discern, they are wrant in political and economic rights.
Having announced our objectives or principles as they are called politically, then we should begin the careful study of the men who are to be accepted for the major nominees of this great party. We should know, not afterward, but in the first instance, his or her views on our objectives, and a study should be made as to whether said candidates have strength enough to stand unfalteringly in the midst of pitiless opposition, for the principles in which we are primarily interested.

Old Thanksgiving Day
The days are getting chilly and
The nights breathe frosty air;
The flowers now are drooping and
The trees are getting bare.
I miss the merry laughter and
The patter of the feet,
And voices of the children
Playing in the city street.
The birds have stopped their singing
And the bees no longer swarm;
The squirrel's have shed their summer coats
For thicker fur that's warm.
And everything would be as dry
As last year's crop of hay—
But for the joy that comes to us
With old Thanksgiving Day.
The nights that seemed so lonesome and
The days that were so blue
Have both become much brighter now
And show another hue.
The children all have gathered for
A frolic and a fray
In the homestead of their childhood
Filled with mem'ries for aye.
And our labors of the summer
Bring bounties of the fall
With a faith that our dear Maker
Shares blessings with us all.
So at this grand reunion
Let's laugh and sing and play
And show to God our gratitude
On Old Thanksgiving Day.

Parliament Discusses Blacks and Whites in British Empire
In the House of Lords recently Lord Snell wanted to know what the government proposed to do about the development and "better government" of Bechuanaland. He was told that the government proposed to do exactly nothing. The government's Commission of Inquiry, headed by Sir Alan Pim, had pointed out the economic stagnation accompanied by disintegration of tribal life, to which the introduction of the European wage system had reduced the native. That is, the European wage system together with the European system of especially taxing African natives.
This is all particularly interesting following so close on the incident of a few months ago when a paramount chief tried and flogged a white man in a native court, for which the British Government, with an elaborate military display costing $5,000 (more than one-fifth the sum which Lord Pim's commission recommended for the economic revival of Bechuanaland) deposed the Chief.
The incident is a pertinent commentary on the status of black men in the lands traditionally ascribed to them.
Scottsman Gone Native
The white man is Phineas Mac Intosh, a degenerate Scottsman "gone native." He lived in the native quarter; took a native woman to wife; beat her publicly; cohabitated with other native women whom he beat and brutally abused. At the same time he persisted in annoying the young girls of the Bamangwato tribe. When summoned to appear before a tribal assembly he came willingly, submitted himself to trial, accepted the sentence as a just one and yielded himself to punishment. He had cast his lot with the natives and accepted native administration without questioning the fine points of "white supremacy" and of "dominant race."
The black man who ordered the trial is Tshekedia Khama, Chief Regent of Bechuanaland, youngest son of the Great Khama and the Lady Semane. At the death of his brother, Chief Segama, in 1925, Tshekedi, a cultured, educated man, relinguished a college career and came home to act as Regent to his young nephew, Sertse. The 16-year-old Sertse is now being educated at a missionary school at Lovedale. Tshekedi administers the tribe and the realm pending his majority. This he has done wisely and well, according to the whites in his domain. And such is the opinion of the Vice-Admiral Evans, who, supported by a military contingent, deposed the Chief.
Chief Asks for Expulsion
While he has sought to maintain harmonious relations with the local British authorities he has been unwilling to sacrifice the moral well-being and the traditions of the tribe to this end. Repeatedly Chief Tshekedi had complained to the Government Representative urging that Mac Intosh and other whites who were introducing whiskey into the native section and molesting native women, be expelled from the land.
In response the British Administrator had, on one occasion, imposed upon Mac Intosh a fine of 10 shillings ($2.50)! The fine awrded by the Magistrate for the offense of smoking on Tyne Docks recently contrary to regulation was ten shillings! This then is the worth of an African woman's honor in the estimation of the British Government which has undertaken the enlightenment of backward peoples
Concerned for the moral welfare of his tribe Chief Tshekedi tried, sentenced and punished the offender in the land according to the law of that land.
And the British Government straightway dispatched a Vice-Admiral in full uniform, supported by a detachment of 200 marines, three howitzers, Lewis guns, airplanes and a 21 gun salute, across the trackless wastes to Palapye Road and Serowe to block this challenge to white inviolability by bringing the Parmount Chief of the land to trial. For which trial with all its military trappings, the British taxpayer will be called upon to pay 5000 pounds (about $25,000) or thereabouts.
Attitude of the Press
It is significant that the British Press emphasizes with Bourbon directness that the issue being tried was the inviolability of white supremacy; that punishment of offenses against the tribal canons or against members of the tribe belongs exclusively to the dominant race; that a white man, however degenerate and degraded, must not be subject to the administration of a black man, however just and admirable, lest it threaten the dominance and the claim to superiority of white men in black men's lands. A superiority of guns and machines and sheer brute force, as evidenced here at Bechuanaland. For the actual issue screened by all this noise of racial superiority is the ruthless determination of a powerful Government to plunder unmined gold fields, and to exploit native labor, and to uproot and destroy any man, black, brown white, who resists.
or Whom.
The trial—or inquiry, as the British Press refers to it—was not concerned with the right or justice of Mac Intosh's sentence. Mac Intosh had submitted without complaint. And Vice-Admiral Evans confirmed Tshekedi's judgement by ordering Mac Intosh's immediate deportation. At the same time, dressed in full military regalia, surrounded by a

intelligence liberates and liberalizes, and the Negro is no exception
Counsel Refused
The chief was denied the right of counsel to argue the legal point, altho' Douglas Buchanan, brilliant King's Counsel, Master of Roman Dutch and English Law, and the Rev. A. E. Jennings of the London Missionary Society, an authority on native law and custom and European treaties, appeared with him and sought to be recognized as counsel.
Robert L. Vann, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, at 25,600, who now, because of the recent victory of his sponsor Senator Jacob Guffey, of Pennsylvania, and a special claim to party recognition on his own right, occupies the most strategic position of any colored man in the Democratic Party is given credit for the above quote, which has much basis in truth.
tation which has much more importance. Mr. Vann, in a recent statement explaining the reasons for the shift of the colored vote from the Republican to the Democratic Party said among other things: "The greatest obstacle to overcome with the Negro was his fear of the name 'Democratic.' Of course this fear was not founded upon anything but tradition kept alive by the Republican Party, plus empty sentiment."
He was forbidden, to call witnesses. Yet the white African whom the Government purported to protect from black domination, openly sympathized with Shekedi. The white women shook hands with him at the trial expressing their regret at his expulsion.
sentiment.
He said further; "When this fear was dissipated by an intelligent appeal based upon fact rather than fiction the intelligent Negro embraces Democracy. Through a process of education it was easy to convince the trained Negro that there is nothing to fear from the name 'Democratic', because after all, it was the principles involved rather than the parties. The same principles under any other name would have won at the polls because the people caught the difference between principles and party nomenclature."
Chief Tshekedi and the brilliant counsel who would have supported him contend that he is a treaty chief, not an appointed chief, and so not subject to the same limitations. Bechuanaland, in its charter a self governing state, is a Dominion rather than a Crown Colony as the Bemangwato were never conquered by British or Boer. Their Chief is therefore under the protection of, but not subject to the British Crown.
Oh boy, what a difference a college degree and a working knowledge of legal phraseology makes in selling one to express himself. I have been trying to put on paper for two years now the sentiment expressed by Mr. Vann in five minutes.

Mr. L. J. W. Hayes, the indomitable personality who has given the maximum of his time to the worries of Federal employees while receiving the minimum of gratitude from them, celebrates this week his first anniversary as a full-fedged columnist. I hope that the information which he has, in his inimitable style, tried to conduct the vast year has not fallen on deaf ears.
Christianity a Farce?
Back of all this is a century of white penetration into black lands, to plunder their undeveloped resources—and people.
Mr. Hayes has asked me to write about the significance of the election of a black Democrat to the National House of Representatives. That I shall attempt to do, not to his satisfaction but to my own
A century ago the missionaries introduced Christianity into Bechuana and. The Great Khama, Chief Tshekedi's father, was a Christian tho' he did not impose Christianity upon the tribe. His ancestor, Shehele, was a close friend of Livingstone's and as a lad Khama met Livingstone.
I honestly believe that the defeat of Oscar DePriest was a catastrophe. The election proved that the "Negroes of Chicago were politically "caught napping." Had DePriest been reelected, he would have been the second ranking Republican from the State of Illinois. The veteran Illinois legislator, Fred Britten, who has been elected to each successive Congress since 1912, was defeated this year leaving Representative Buckbee as the ranking Republican from the state. Buckbee has been in Congress since 1926. DePriest would have been the second ranking Republican, having been elected in 1928. With only six Republicans in the House from the whole state, it is easy to believe that DePriest would have been in line for positions on some of the major committees. Then too, had he been reelected he would have been in line for a number of major chairmanships if and when the Republican administration returns to power in 1936. The length of time one has served in Congress determines seniority, which in turn makes for influence and power. DePriest was on the way to becoming a powerful asset to his constituents as well as to the whole Negro group.

Why Negroes Reject Negro History
The election of Arthur Mitchell is even more appalling considered in the light of his own admission that the influence of Booker T. Washington "has guided me in my relations with all people."
By Drusilla Dunjee Houston
By Drusilla Dunjee Houston
We hear the pessimistic wall that the Negro will not accept Negro History. Why are black people so apathetic? We have some books on Negro history that are quietly making their way in both races, that treat of past greatness of Ethiopians, but the astonishing thing is that educated whites calmly accept these books to be true, while very many colored folk seem unable to overcome the "inferiority complex" established by white literature of Negro inferiety and the superiority of the white race.
Booker T. Washington's policies concerning industrial education accepted the master-servant tradition and the capitalistic system, and aimed to perpetuate both. He believed that the friendship of the whites was the Negro's best asset, therefore, he opposed any organization creating conflict and ill-feeling between the two. His false economic philosophy had great influence on the Negro and tended to make him a tool of the whites.
That this is true was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt when Mr. Mitchell, in an interview with the Chicago Daily News, is reported to have said, relative to his election: "...It marks a turning point in the campaign of bitterness waged by some northern Negro leaders against southern white people. It is the repudiation of the attempt to 'bulldoze' your neighbors.
"It is my belief that a man ought to make and retain all the friends he can. I do not apologize for my white friends in the south, in Birmingham and elsewhere. I shall continue to cultivate such friendly relations for the best interests of the whites and Negroes without sacrificing one iota of principle of character."
This is because the conceptions that come to us in youth become set, and afterlife has very little influence in changing them. We chatter much about the past greatness of the Negro but, we forget that the Negro child reads in all authoritative white literature that the "Negro has been a hewer of wood and a drawer of water from time immemorial". This thought is played upon in all its keys. How can we reach Negro youth before this "inferiority complex" is established? By placing in his hands books bristling with authorities who the story of what the Ethiopian race once was. These books must be placed in our homes.
My own interpretation of the above state is equivalent to the following: "Well, I won't go to Congress and antagonize my good southern friends, but rather I will show them that I am a 'good nigger', and they will pat me on the back and help me get what I want."
I am inclined to agree with J. F. Matthews, writing in the Chicago Defender recently, said: "We need no apologists in Congress, and if that is going to be Congressman Mitchell's attitude as representative of 15,000,000 Negroes, the defeat of Congressman DePriest was a calamity."
Attention may also be called to the fact that Mr. Mitchell, in a recent speech to some of his white friends in Birmingham, with reference to the appointment of colored boys to West Point and Annapolis by Rep. DePriest, said: "While he was in office no white boys have had an opportunity to enter Annapolis or West Point, but that will be altered now. There will be no discrimination."
At this point words fail to aid me in venting my spleen on such a mealy-mouthed sycophant. I am ready to agree fully with the Jackson, Mississippi Daily News, which stated recently that Rep. DePriest will be succeeded by "Arthur Mitchell, Democrat, who is aptly described as a 'white man's nigger.'"
Teachers Fear to Lose Jobs
This must be because that vast number of Negro teachers fear to teach Negro history—the fear of losing their jobs. I remember one professor who taught Negro history 30 years ago. Negroes went themselves to the white school board complained that he was teaching their children that they were better than white folk. Being strong with the board, he made his escape.
I must disagree emphatically with the view expressed in this column last week that "the political emancipation of the Negro, with all the benefits which may accrue therefrom, starts with the election of Arthur W. Mitchell, a Negro Democrat to Congress." We have too long been handicapped by hat-in-hand-me-too-boss leaders, or rather mis-leaders. After reading Mr. Mitchell's own statements, his platform is, as all platforms are, just a lot of political bunk—a scrap of paper. Can't you just see Mitchell entering Congress bowing low to all his southern friends and asking permissions to take his seat. I am sure that in order not to hurt the feelings of his white friends he would be willing to sit in the middle of the aisle on a soap-box. If Chicago had to have a black Democrat, did it have to have on one of this type? DePriest was as least a man, not a monkey. I hope the Chicago Negroes are beginning to realize just how catastrophic is this change from DePriest to Mitchell. Let us not be surprised if Mr. Mitchell is complimented in Congress for "knowing his place."
In another city of this state ten years ago a colored principal was removed for teaching Negro history. This sprang out of ignorance as to what Negro history would teach
You see the phenomenon of the bright, alert, ambitious Negro boy of nine or ten, who goes to school and is fascinated by the story of wonderful Americans and their achievements. Then at fourteen we see him with hat cocked on the side of his head, ambition is gone and hope for the sickening revelation comes to him: "None of this is for me." He can never be the mayor of his city, nor governor of his state. Stripped from the white history is the story of Crispus Attucks and his kind. No word is there that Negroes built Perry's ships on Lake Erie or that black soldiers subdued the hostile Indians and made the frontiers safe for white men. There is a conspiracy in literature to keep historic truth from black people.
What possible connection there can be between Mr. Mitchell's white friends in Birmingham and his Chicago constituents is hard for one to see. However, since he has only been in Chicago for about six years, it may be that he has not yet gotten use to his new freedom, and is under the impression that he has to apologize to his white folks for being elected. Since he is so much interested in the welfare of his southern white friends, maybe he can get himself elected Representative in Congress from the Birmingham district, through cultivating their friendship.
Mr. Mitchell's election was at first heralded as a victory for those who objected to Mr. DePriest because he was not educated. However, as soon as Mitchell made his now famous "Uncle Tom" interview, the wise-acres began to realize that while DePriest may not have had a diploma from Tuskegee, he had something far better, namely, practical political experience. Mr. DePriest has been out of the south for more than 30 years and consequently has no sympathy for his southern friends. Mr. Mitchell, on the other hand, has been out of the south just six years, and I am reminded of the adage about teaching an old dog new tricks.
THE DAY'S WORK
Booker Washington's policies surrendered (1) the political power of Negroes; (2) the civil rights of Negroes; and (3) the higher education of Negroes. If Mr. Mitchell acts in Congress according to the way he was trained under the influence of the sage of Tuskegee, it is safe to say that very little can be expected of him, for he is sure to live up to the cognomen by which, according to Nathan Taylor, ex-candidate for Congress, he is known to his Chicago friends, namely "Uclep Tom Mitchell."
I am drowsy, having drunk too deeply of the silence of the night. But the dawn has a glance that is gleeful, and the day's work a challenge. May I go forth, like the creeper, feeling my way and clinging to every gain.
.....
Editor's Note: Evidently my good friend, Mr. Steen thinks that Congressman-elect Mitchell is not the hope of the American Negro in the coming Congress. Time will tell; I still believe that ere Mr. Mitchell will have served one term, American Negroes will unamuniously acclaim him the equal in accomplishment as that old uncompromising fighter for real American principles Oscar DePriest. Mitchell may indeed surpass DePriest in accomplishment. I repeat, time will tell.
May I not curb my brother's pride, nor he my simplicity.
May night fall yield me the gleaning of toil and the greetings of slumber.

For weeks lovers of the drama
have awaited the appearance of
Gertrude McBrown. And so on last
Tuesday evening, November 20,
when the Bronze Masque and
Touchtone Dramatic Club of
Freeedmen’s Nursery School pre-
sented the dramatic artist at the
Medical School auditorium, a large
and appreciative crowd was on
hand to greet her.
From the moment Mrs. McBrown
stepped upon the stage you knew
that here was a specialist in her
line. You didn’t see her as much
‘as you saw the characters she por-
traved. And if she is expert in
her handling of simple monologues,
in the arrangements calling for
several different voices she ix ex-
traordinary, as in “The Hour
Glass.” She _was positively. ador-
able in “Children’s Poems,"( her
‘own compositions too). Ina pink
and white checked dress and a
bright ribbon bow bedecking her
hair, you knew she was your own
little “Betty” or “Susie”. or “Rosie’
as she played on the floor with
her toys. Now singing, now talk-
ing, now blowing bubbles, now do-
ing a dozen and one other things
till the old Sandman finally got
her.
In “The Gypsy Girl” she was su-

(Continued from page 4)
In 1885, backed by the missionary, the Rev, J. Mac Kenzie, Khama, of Bechuanaland with the chiefs of the adjoining Swaziland and Basuololand, obtained the protection of Great Britian in warding off the encroachments of the Boers.
The three tribes are related and speak the same language. Ten years later Khama and these two neighboring chiefs went to London to secure from Queen Victoria and her Minister of Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, certain assurances regarding their tribal rights and their powers as chiefs. Thus they retained independence against the claims of the Cape Colony and of the Chartered Company, then pushing railway construction and seeking to incorporate Bechuanaland in what is now South Rhodesia.
Chief's Mother is Cultured
Cheri's mother is cultured
The Lady Semane, Chief Tshekedl's mother, educated, cultured, refined who, menaced by machine guns and howitzers now cries out, "O King, my Master, release to me the boy!" is the same who, in the life of Khama, when presented, addressed the Queen Victoria as "Sister Queen, We two Queens." Khama, still referred to as the greatest man Africa ever produced, was a great chief, a leader and a reformer. When degenerate whites sold whiskey to the natives he expelled them from the land. He stood up to and forced Cecil Rhodes's respect. On the maps of a decade ago all this territory was marked "Khama's Lands."
Khama's action in 1895 has delayed the prospecting for gold in Bechuanaland. His son, Chief Segama, whom Tshekedi succeeded, was unwillingly persuaded to grant mining concessions. But Chief Tshekedi, fearing the social degeneration attendant upon rapid industrialization of the country by whites, has reverted to his father's policy tenaciously refusing to sanction mining concessions. On his return from London in 1930 he issued a decrese annulling all concessions to prospect and mine for gold in the Protectorate. Recently after long resistance, he was induced to grant another. But he understands too well that the inroads of Western industry rest upon the disintegration of tribal life and the degradation and poverty of the native population who are subjected to special laws restricting the freedom of their movements, excluded from skilled trades, specially taxed and wholly exploited.
Western Civilization
Thus Tshekedi, striving to preserve the rights and privileges of his tribe and to safeguard them from further exploitation has come into conflict with the Chartered Company. This is the real offense back of the Mac Intosh Inquiry. Tshekedi's spirit must be chastened to make way for the advance of Western Civilization!
British protection, in the case of the Bamangwato has meant stagnation. The Protectorate has continued in an anamoulious position economically squeezed between the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia. Although there is no tribal fighting neither is there any competing outlet for manly energy. Bechuanaland, the Protectorate, is administratively more directly dependent than any colony since the Crown Administration is free to do as it thinks fitting, while in a colony the people and chiefs are British subjects with certain definite legal rights.
Economic and social deterioration marks Bechuanaland. Trade is restricted owing to tariffs imposed by the Union and Rhodesia. Excessive hunting has exhausted the wild game. Export of hides and skins is prohibited because of hoof and mouth disease. And a drought ridden land of hungry, workless men and women must somehow pay two sets of taxes, to the Chief and to the Crown. This year one third of the taxpayers are expected to default because they will be unable to raise 28 shillings (about seven dollars).

150,000 Natives
There is progressive deterioration in the physique of the 150,000 Bamangwato natives (less than 2,000 whites live in the land.) Few children of school age get milk for nine months of the year and the average weight for tested children is 17 per cent below the average for European children. This year 100 pounds (less than $500) will be expended out of the general revenue for native education. Chief Tshekedi maintains a school for 700 children at his capital.
This is the stage that was set for the 5,000 pounds melodramatic display of British power. (Lord Pim's report had recommended only 24,500 pounds for the economic rehabilitation of Bechuanaland.)
Two weeks after Thekedi's expulsion the High Commissioner, Sir Herbert Stanley, ordered his reinstatement, to follow an acknowledgement from the chief that he exceeded his legal authority in trying a white man. The High Commissioner was on leave in England when the Mac Intosh incident occurred and remained there throughout the ensuing trial, deposition, expulsion and reinstatement.
The Return of the Chief
Following Sir Herbert Stanley's order Vice-Admiral Evans met Tshekedi at Cape Town and returned him to Serowe—the Vice-Admiral traveling in the High Commissioner's coach while Chief Tshekedi occupied and second class compartment. At Serowe the Vice-Admiral presided over a formal ceremony reinstating Tshekedi before the tribe, following an apology in which the chief conceded that technically he exceeded his authority but maintaining that morally he was right.
Immediately following his restatement Chief Tshekedi proceeded arranging a journey to London to present his case to the Secretary of Dominions, J. H. Thomas. On the eve of his journey he was forbidden to leave his own territory.
Three Pertinent Questions
And so the British military display and inquiry in Bechuanaland decided nothing. These questions obtrude themselves, however: (1) What, if any is the legal status of a Protectorate? (2) By what legal right can a paramount Chief of a Protectorate not subject to the Crown be restrained from travel abroad? (3) What will be the reverberations when, according to the report in a Johannesburg paper, Bechuanaland is annexed to the Union of South Africa? This was scheduled to occur about the time the Mac Intosh affair arose and the opinion in many quarters is that all this fuss has been to get Shekedi out of the way and by this threat weaken the opposition of his neighboring chiefs against absorption of the Protectorates into the Union of South Africa.
Finally, in regard to Lord Pim's recommendations for the rehabilitation of Bechuanaland, The British Government proposes to do exactly nothing.

Top of Stove Cooking Much Cheaper than Oven Cooking
In these days when economics are sought it is well to remember that fuel can be saved in many little ways of well-planned cooking. Frequently the saving proves one of time as well as coins. Modern stoves and methods require different management from the one-time kitchen stove burning coal and which was always kept going. This is seldom found. There were certain advantages in it, for the constant heat made it possible to cook, slowly at least, without adding to the fuel bill. But on the other hand, the very fact that the fire was constant increased costs. It is because the heat can be regulated at will today, that it is so important to have the fire going as little as is compatible with the culinary work.
Cooking on top of a gas, oil or electric stove requires less fuel than oven cookery. So whenever possible, use top burners. When stoves are equipped with oil burners, top and oven are heated at the same time, but it still should be borne in mind that more oil is used when the oven is made hot, than when the top of the stove only is needed without high temperature. With an oil burning range the planning of cookery to save fuel is much the same as with the same as with the ordinary, if less used, range. That is when the fire is high, do oven baking as well as top cooking, and then let the fire burn low, or even cut off the flow of oil and let the fire go out.
When using the regulation oil stove, or the gas or electric stove, confine cooking to top burners as much as can be managed with results satisfactory. For example, try that delicious pudding, baked apple tapioca, made from cored, peeled, and sliced apples and pearl tapioca, water, sugar, a dash of salt, and cinnamon, if liked. Make it in a double boiler on top of the stove. The tapioca will steam in the boiler much quicker and the apples soften in much less time than in the oven. Serve in sheerb cups, and top each glass with whipped cream or marshmallow whip. Macaroni with cheese can be made in the double boiler, and if dished up and top covered with buttered crumbs browned under the flame, the effect is practically identical with baked macaroni.
When having a roast use the oven to cook other things which require a hot oven, when that is needed, or which take long rather slow cooking if a lower temperature is right. It is amazing the reduction of time of keeping current on that can be managed in this way. Carelessness in turning burners down, when a lower temperature is all that is needed, will bring up bills a bit. And not to turn off the current immediately it is not needed, is actual loss.

A Place for Everything
when it pertains to putting away things so that they are easy to find. One's patience is not taxed nor her temper either when she can go to a place and find, not part of what is wanted, but every piece needed. Few things are more trying than to find one cuff of a collar and cuff set lacking, when one is in a hurry, and all three pieces should be together. There are some aids which may prove helpful in guarding against such an inconvenience.
If a set is to be put away for some time, a good way to insure having all parts together is to take a stitch to tack the articles together. See that these stitches are taken through the portions which turn under in each piece and so will not show even the tiny stitch holes when put on to wear. Pins can be used, but they are likely to leave rust marks wherever the pins rest, as well as in the pinholes, so the stitches are better. Another way is to spread the collar out on cardboard and lay both cuffs on it too, over the collar. Wrap the whole set in issue paper, and lay in a box. Many sets can be put in one box which should be wide though not necessarily deep.

NAACP Scores Abandonment of FERA Wage Scale For Slave Pay
NEW YORK—Initiation of ruthless starvation and exploitation of nine million Negroes in the South will follow the announced abandonment by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and President Roosevelt to the demand of Governor Talmadge of Georgia and other southern officials for abolition of the 33-cent-an-hour relief wage scale. This charge was made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a telegram to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator.
"Their lot was bad enough with the FERA theoretically insisting upon minimum wage," the telegram asserts, "but now that final decision as well as administration has been turned over to local authorities we predict that wage slavery and death will be the lot of the Negroes. Governor Talmadge from the beginning has fought minimum wage on ground it was higher than prevailing rate in Georgia but real reason has always been that he does not want Negroes to receive even the miserable wage they have been getting under the FERA. "By taking this step," the Association charges, "the Administration has surrendered not only a principle that seriously affects its

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934
GUY CASE IS SET FOR COURT TRIAL DECEMBER 5
Hubby of Peggy Williston Guy Faces Charges of Wife's Mother
Trial of Trevianon Guy, 27 years old, of 1308 S Street, Northwest, was postponed until December 5, following his arraignment before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in United States Branch of Police Court, last Friday morning.
Guy is charged with destroying private property, the accusation growing out of his alleged destruction of furniture, fixtures and other articles in the home of Mrs. E. D. Williston, his mother-in-law, Sunday afternoon, November 18.
According to police and a Tribune investigation, the youthful husband of Mrs. Peggy Williston Guy went to the Williston residence at 1516 S Street, Northwest, when his pretty wife did not return home at a certain hour. She had gone there following first his refusal to let her go and later his permission to do under the condition that she return at a certain time.
Young Guy and his wife's parents have been bitter toward one other since an alleged beating administered Mrs. Guy during a fit of rage last summer.
When his arraignment was ordered last Friday Guy did not put in an appearance. Attorney Thomas F. Beckett, his counsel, asked the court for a continuance, stating that Guy was too ill to atte
Judge Hitt immediately directed Mr. Beckett to present a doctor's certificate attesting to the inability of the defendant to appear, and when this was not forthcoming, the court dispatched a motorcycle patrolman to his home, threatening a bench warrant for his apprehension if the officer's visit was unavailing.
The policeman returned without Guy and the court set the case for the following day (Saturday). On Saturday morning a medical certificate was presented and the case was continued until December 5.
Belford V. Lawson, who represented Mrs. Guy and her mother, and Attorney Beckett had a verbal clash in the court corridors when Beckett hinted that someone had informed the District that Guy was stalling and was trying to evade coming into court.
Attorney E. C. Hayes has also been retained to help prosecute the case against Guy.

SCOTTSBORO APPEAL GOES TO U. S. COURT
NEW YORK—Petition to the U. S. Supreme Court for review of the case of Clarence Norris, one of the two Scottboro boys under sentence of death, and the supporting brief, were filed on November 17 by Osmond K. Fraenkel, attorney representing the International Labor Defense. The petition in the case of Haywood Batterson will be filed within a few days, the LLD. states. The Alabama Supreme Court has granted a stay of execution for these two boys from December 7 to February 8, to permit review of the cases in the U. S. Supreme Court.

The main constitutional question raised in the appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court is the barring of Negroes from the grand and petit juries which indicted and convicted the Scotteboro boys.

CHORUS OF 500 TO TAKE PART IN PASSION PLAY
"Passion and Triumph" to Be Portrayed Here December 4
Four of the leading churches of Washington have brought Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert, author and director of the Negroic Passion Play Concert, entitled "Passion and Triumph," to the city, for the purpose of producing that mammoth drama in the Washington Auditorium, December 4, under their auspices.
With Dr. Gilbert is his assistant, upop 'aəəəd-qauapms siq st oum Tidrington Frazer, who plays the title role, Messiah. The production will have a cast of some 350 local performers, and he supported by a large chorus of 500 voices, under the direction of Miss Maude Smothers, prominent local chorister.
Sponsored by Churches
The project is being handled by a committee of the pastors of the four churches involved, Dr. E. C. Smith being chairman, the others being Dr. William H. Thomas, Dr. E. L. Harrison, and Dr. W. H. Jernagin, pastoring the Metropolitan A. M. E. Metropolitan Baptist. Mt. Carmel Baptist, and Shiloh Baptist Churches, the entertaining organizations.

Background From Spirituals
The musical background to this drama is taken, for the most part from the Negro spirituals and jubilee melodies. We have such a religious heritage in this mass of folf music, that there is scarcely a biblical subject, that may be dramatized, that one cannot find sufficient musical source material for support, in these varied old songs of our race. The author of "Passion and Triumph" is ably coordinating these spirituals to good advantage, and the heaviest work he has produced along this line, is this Negroic passion play concert

Thomas Stirs Virginians to Civic Problems
Telling from facts and philosophy how the "Quest for Certainty" and the "Labor for Security" have been man's problems in all ages, Charles M. Thomas, educator, stirred the citizens of North Virginia to organize for attack upon some of their own conditions. a Sunday.
Shown that children of Arlington county received but $14 per capita for education, while the other race gave its own $24, and that with 1342 colored enrolled, only 511 were in attendance at school, the citizens took steps to arouse the counties to the need of cooperation.
The speaker explained how the white teacher with $80 a month held an average of 38 children, while the colored at $50 would have 50 to teach.
He indicated the lack of leadership that followed from the absence of adequate schools above the seventh grade in the whole State, giving one minister to every 500 population; one doctor to every 4,000 and one dentist to 10,000.
Freight Train Wreck Gives School A "Break"
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. --- Ordinarily railroad catastrophes are not regarded as harbingers of good luck.
On the Pennsylvania Railroad line in the very heart of Downingtown a freight train laden with 2000 tons of hard coal was wrecked Sunday morning, November 18.
No lives were lost, but 35 coal cars were derailed and hundreds of tons of coal spilled down a steep embankment lining the track.
Although the damage to railroad property amounted to the thousands of dollars, the accident was a "break" to hordes of poor folks from miles around.
At prices which were dirt cheap the railroad permitted these people to haul away amounts ranging from two or three bags to twenty or more tons. Through the courtesy of local officials Downingtown Industrial School and several organizations, such as fire companies, churches, etc., were given special concessions in sites from which to gather their coal and in the price charged.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER
MISS McRAE ASKS ABOLISHMENT OF NEGRO ADVISER
Jim-Crow Setup Breeds Jim-Crow, Ickes is Told in Letter
In a letter to Secretary of Interior Harold C, Ickes this week, Miss Greatchen McRae, well known crusader for equal opportunities for Negroes in the government service, asked the abolishment of the office of Adviser on Negro Affairs. This post was formerly held by Dr. Clark Foreman, white, who was transferred some time ago. Dr. Robert Weaver is the present occupant of the position.
Miss McRae has written several letters to the Secretary protesting against segregation in his department, but none of the letters were answered. She recently laid the matter before President Roosevelt who demanded that Secretary Ickes reply to Miss McRae.
In his reply the Secretary failed to answer the charges of segregation, but merely wrote a formal answer to the letter. His letter follows:
Your letter of October 27 to Mr. Howe has been forwarded to me for answer.
Your statements indicate that you are not familiar with the function and procedure of my Advisor on Negro Affairs. He is not concerned with the establishment of a liaison office for the various advisory activities for colored people, but is a liaison officer between the various administrative officials in the Department of the Interior. Rather than diverting colored persons and projects affecting Negroes from the Negro Affairs office, he maintains their entrance and accelerates their progress in such channels. ...
Miss McRae's letter in reply is as follows:
The function and procedure of the Advisor on Negro Affairs are as objectionable as the discriminatory job itself, which by its very existence establishes separate administrative and advisory activities for colored people. A liaison officer appointed for racial reasons, being responsible to and agent for the officials of the Government who appoint him is merely a buffer for them, and therefore, because of this and other reasons, because of this and other reasons, serve the interests of colored people.
Besides, just experience proves that one of the chief functions of this particular lioness officer is to entrench the policy of the government in the approval, and attempt to get approval for the segregated schemes or projects initiated by the department, and by such approval to facilitate the entrance of colored people into these segregated channels. The government must ensure that the sent out by Dr. Foreman proved this function. If extra supervision, loss of freedom and the right to prosecute one's case before his Government without hindrance or interference, the Government or supervisor appointed by the Government for racial or religious discrimination were something to be sought after, I am sure Jews, Catholics or Protestants, and citizen, never reluctant in embracing the good things of life, would avail themselves of the advantage. But it would be against the letter of the Civil Service Rules to establish such a limitation, and it is against the spirit and intent of the Civil Service Rules to establish an officer for racial reasons. It destroys any chance of equality from discrimination, because it places an unjust sanction on inequality and discrimination.
The effort, to blindfold the colored people on this question is useless, and it is an outrage to continue the defense of it by the colored people protests already on file in the department.
What the colored people are in need of is fair and just administration, and it cannot be attained by the dickering, intrigues or lioness activities of an adviser, a racial discrimination, or racial discrimination, who must do just as he is told, who has no real power, who is not responsible to or agent for the colored people. A measure of justice can be attained, however, by your breaking up the colored people without segregation or discrimination.
The difficulty is with the administrative policy in force in the department which permits, and now shamefully advocates and defends segregation and discriminatory practices, which you have the power and duty to remit.
I am therefore asking the immediate abolition of the office of Adviser on Negro Affairs, and the assignment of the subordinate employees affected in such positions to positions of equality with other clerks.
Also I am asking the administrative changes and correction of the discriminations set out in my appeals filed in the department and in my several letters of protest to you.
