WALKER IS DEAD GUARDSMEN KILL 3 IN LYNCH MOB Man Accused of Attack on White Girl Rushed to Nashville Charges of threats against Trevianon (Fat) Guy, 1308 S. Street, Northwest, were dismissed by Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Police Court, Friday afternoon, following motion by the government after testimony revealed that the papers in the case were in error with regards to the date of the alleged threats. The warrant issued for the arrest of Guy charged him with threatening his wife, Mrs. Peggy Williston Guy, on November 25, when Mrs. Guy's own testimony disclosed that the alleged threats took place one week before that date, November 18. The defense contended that Guy was ill at the home of his uncle, Attorney Zeph Moore, 1901 Eighteenth Street, Northwest, on the former date.

Only members of the order who are financially in good standing will be admitted to the meeting. The long expected legal action in Elkdem broke in all its fury Wednesday morning' when the two local lodges, Morning Star and Columbia, entered the District Supreme Court and a rule to show cause was issued by Justice Peyton Gordon compelling Grand Exalted Ruler J. Kinley Wilson to appear in that court on January 2 and show cause why he should not be restrained and enjoined from interfering with the local lodges, their business, fraternal or social affairs. At the same time Dr. Leo Holton, well known Elk leader and past exalted ruler, announced his candidacy for the grand exalted ruler's position. It is also said that Herbert Jones, another past exalted ruler, is a candidate. To Be Heard in January The rule issued by Justice Gordon will undoubtedly be heard by Justice Adkins, who will assume his duties as motions justice next month. Attorney Harry Dyson and Attorney Austin Canfield, the latter white, represented the two lodges in asking for the show cause rule. Only a few of the local Elks' officials were present in court when the rule was issued. The fight between the two lodges and the grand exalted ruler began last fall and was published exclusively in The Washington Tribune. The lodges objected to the appointment of Dr. Charles Fisher as chairman of the general entertainment committee.

'STUDENTS CALL OFF STRIKE Threats Silenced as Professor Refutes Each Charge Presented Insistent threats of a strike at Howard University School of Law were silenced into mere whimpers among a minority group of disgruntled students, last late week, following a lengthy conference between the student committee, Dean Charles H. Houston and Dr. Alfred J. Buscheck, white, whose resignation the students demanded in a petition forwarded to law school authorities, last Monday. In the petition, the students demanded that Dr. Buscheck, one of the four full-time professors at the school, tender his resignation immediately because he was "out of harmony with the student body;" because his classroom tactics were "oppressive, unwarranted and unbearable," because he "formulated prejudicial opinions of students at the outset of their law school career" and because his "personal eccentricities and idiosyncrasies negate his competency as an instructor." They further charged that Dr. Buscheck had been responsible for 36, one-third per cent of the school's failures, over a period of three years, the duration of the accused professor's present stay at the school. Confers With Buscheck Called into a conference with Dr. Buscheck by Dean Houston, Thursday, the Student Committee, with Raymond J. Valentine as spokesman, reiterated their demande at the outset of the meeting only to 'Toothpick Thief' Tells Startling Tale of Dual Existence in Interview 470 Famous as the "Toothpick Burgl" who was held for the action of the grand jury when arraigned before Judge Ralph Gliven in police court Monday morning. He was held under $50,000 bond. The Howard University tennis star robbed hundreds of homes in the city. He plugged keyholes with toothpicks in order to halk the return of his victims. Police are burr collecting jewelry and hiring from persons who bought them from the alleged burglar. By SAMUEL H. LACY Following is the first and exclusive story of the life of Lowney Louis Stillwell, the widely publicized "Toothpick Boy," recently arrested by police. It was obtained in a special interview at the District Jail. Lowney Louis Stillwell is a kleptomanisc. The 29-year-old Howard University junior who sits in his cell at the District Jail awaiting trial for a series of housebreakings has a story all his own—a story of a Jekyll and Hyde existence as fascinating as the original Robert Louis Stevenson tale itself. The tall, muscular, freckled-face youth whose freedom on bond the government feels is worth $50,000, twiddles his thumbs because he has no outlet for the impelling force which has, in the end, driven him to this cell. In his study of mythology Stillwell had read of the centaure, a people who were half intellectuals, half beasts; he had learned of the M. L. WALKER HEAD OF ST. LUKES, DEAD M. L. WALKER HEAD OF ST.

Anti-Lynch Bill Up to Democrats, Says White "Passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill is squares up to the Democratic party and there is no way in which it can escape or dodge that responsibility".

SCHOOL PLANS TO FORM ORCHESTRA SCHOOL PLANS TO FORM ORCHESTRA Garnet-Patterson Parent- Teacher Association Donates First $100 The Garnet-Patterson Parent-Teacher Association at its second meeting of the year had approximately 266 in attendance. The parents were entertained with a playlet produced by S. G. Fletcher, teacher of English. In order to encourage attendance of large numbers of parents at meetings one of the devices used at Garnet-Patterson is to encourage sections to compete in bringing out their parents and relatives. The leading section in the junior assembly group was section 7A2, Mrs. P. F. Lewis, section teacher; in the senior assembly group, section 9B2, S. G. Fletcher, section teacher. In Mrs. Lewis's section there were 19 parents present; in Mr Fletcher's section there were 24 parents present. The association made two appropriations which they empowered the principal to execute. A sum of $100 was appropriated for the purpose of establishing a school orchestra among the students. The principal was authorized to purchase a Christmas tree and electric ornaments for placement on the Vermont Avenue balcony as a community tree. During this week there will be several pre-holiday activities in progress. All sections will interchange Christmas cards through a mail carrier service consisting of girl patrols, under the sponsorship of Mrs. D. P. Beckley.

Submergence Forfeiture by Howard University of five football games in which Paul Perkins, star Bison backback, participated and reelection of the entire panel by acclamation were features among the principal happenings at the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which closed a two-day session at Howard University, last Saturday night. TRENTON, N.J.—The Paramount Girls, one of Philadelphia's most promising basketball teams, gave the Trenton Speed Girls a surprise by winning from them 23 to 18, on the Sunlight Elks Court. Lockley starred for the winners. CIAA Forfeits 5 Coleman Head Indigibility of Perkins Caus 1934 Bisons; Wilkinson and. Individual Forfeiture by Howard University Paul Perkins, star Bison has back, entire panel by acclamation were fei- gings at the twenty-fourth annual na Athletic Association, which closed versity, last Saturday night. Perkins, it will be remembered, was ineligible throughout the entire Bison gridiron season, but withheld the information from university authorities. He had been dropped from Washington and Jefferson University, Washington, Pa., for poor scholarship. This fact had not been brought to the attention of Howard University officials until three days before the final game with Lincoln Thanksgiving Day. Morgan Champions As a result, Howard was ordered to default to Hampton, St. Paul, Morgan and Virginia State, the four teams against which Perkins was used. The first two teams were defeated by the Bisons. The latter two had been held to ties. The fifth game did not affect the Bisons as North Carolina State, the opponent in that case, defeated Howard. The forfeiture did not affect the conference championship, accredited to Morgan, and with the exeption of Howard, failed to alter materially the standing of the teams in the conference. By use of the Dickinson rating system by which the C.I.A.A. determines its champions in all sports, the 13 members were rated as follows: First Division: Morgan, 23.57; Bluefield, 22.81; A. and T. College, 21.87; Virginia Union, 19.37; Virginia State, 18.43 Second Division: Hampton, 15; N.C. State, 15; St. Paul, 13.75; St. Augustine, 13.75; Howard, 11.66; Shaw, 11.42; Smith, 11 and Lincoln, 10. Wilkinson Speaks One of the highlights of the sessions came on Friday morning when Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of Washington School speaking on "Competitive Athletics and Education," charged school administrators, athletic officials, alumni and newspapers with over-emphasizing interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics. "Education approves of competitive athletics in high schools and colleges," the speaker declared, "when competitive athletics encourage and nurture co-operation and when they teach social-mindedness. "On all teams the individual must submerge himself for the benefit of the whole. If there is any idea which permeates our modern life more than any other, it is that of the wane in the belief in 'rugged individualism' as against team work." Burr Leads Discussion A round table discussion on "Problems in Athletics," led Saturday morning by Coach John H. Burr, of Howard, precipitated lively discussion, and brought out the charge that some coaches and physical educators are lacking in vision. Coach Burr pointed to the necessity of coaches setting the proper examples for their players and of doing all in their power to stamp out misconduct on the part of players, theft of athletic equipment from institutions which they visit and gambling. "We must also take into consideration," he said, "that there is another form of gambling other than that of wagering money on games. It is gambling with the athlete's physical condition by demanding that he neglect his educational and cultural obligations in order that he may concentrate on sports. This is not only unfair to the individual but to the institution as well." Officers Re-elected Just prior to the closing of the Saturday session, Frank Coleman, professor at Howard University, was renamed president of the C.I.A.A. for another year. J. L. Whitehead, of St. Paul, was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the organization. Other officers re-elected to the posts they held during the past year are: Ye Ole Cock Crows 348-243-620-490-149-748 549-873-399-109-447-053 ```markdown ``` NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD N. C. Webster, of A. and T., assistant secretary-treasurer; Clarence W. Davis, Howard, chairman of the eligibility committee; Edward N. Wilson, Morgan College, vice president, Northern District; Arthur P. Davis, Union, vice president, Central District, and William E. Griffin, Johnson C. Smith, vice president, Southern District. Burr, Davis Named to NC-2A Clarence W. Davis and John H. Burr, both of Howard University, were named delegates to the 1934 convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association to be held in New York City during the Christmas holiday. Conference champions in the various athletic divisions were announced as follows: Basketball, Howard; track, Virginia Union, Richmond; tennis, Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, N.C.; football, Morgan, and soccer Hampton Institute. Other business that was transacted during the course of the meeting had to do with various angles of C.I.A.A. competition. Divides Eligibility Burden The body adopted a recommendation of James E. Barnes, director of physical education at Virginia State College, which sought to eliminate the dangers of accepting the word of the student as regards his eligibility for athletic competition. Mr. Barnes advocated the use of standard eligibility forms which would divide the responsibility between the player and the school. By Mr. Barnes's method, forms would be sent to the university or college to be filled out partly by the school officials and partly by the athlete involved. H. F. Grim, of Lincoln University, stood behind the Virginia coach in the suggestion. Drop 30 Officials More than thirty officials in various branches of sport, were removed from the association's lists by the committee on certification of football officials. Certified and probationary lists were also revised, with the association adopting the ruling that an annual certification fee of one dollar per sport be assessed all certified and probationary arbiters in the sports in which they receive pay, payable on or before February 1 of each year. An increase in the annual dues of each school was also approved, the fee being raised from $25 to $37.50. A sum of $180 was also allocated the secretary-treasurer's office, $100 for salary and $80 for clerical services. Football and basketball schedules were arranged and officials assigned for the 1935 gridiron season. One of the surprises furnished by the schedule-makers was the announcement that the annual VirginiaUnion-Hampton game will be played at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Atlantic City Improbable Place of the Howard-Lincoln game was not decided upon, although the opinions expressed unofficially by representatives of the two schools indicated that Atlantic City will not be chosen. The annual C.I.A.A. tennis meet will be held at St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va., on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, with two sectional meets, one for the northern area and one for the southern, held on May 10 and 11. Following dual and sectional track and field meets on May 4, the association will sponsor an open meet at Howard University on May 11, with the closed meeting being held on May 18 at Hampton. Member institutions have also been urged to send representatives to the Penn Relay Carnival at Philadelphia on April 26. Among the several recommendations accepted from the floor on Saturday was one that the C.I.A.A. annually pay the expenses of the conference singles champion to and from the national intercollegiate tennis matches. Tribune Cagettes Capture Last Minute Decision PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—In one of the most exciting games ever witnessed here, the Philadelphia Tribune Girls, national colored basketball champions, defeated West Lampeter (white) 28 to 27. Trailing by five points, with only 45 seconds to play, the newsgirls snatched the game from the locals when Rose Wilson made two sensational shots, with Duke Hill making the final one just as the whistle blew. The defensive works of Davis, Bovell, and Chase was noteworthy while Baxter's and Ross's work stood out for the locals. GIBBS DECISIONS CALVIN REED IN AUDITORIUM GO Atlantic City Fighter Impresses in Victory Over Hall Conqueror Taking the sting out of the same punches which gained such a wide victory over Buster Hall in the city's first indoor boxing show last October, George Gibbs, Atlantic City welterweight, soundly trowned Calvin Reed, of Philadelphia, to grab the main bout verdict of a benefit boxing show, Tuesday night. The card was for the benefit of the boys' Summer Camp of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., and was staged at the Washington Auditorium before approximately 1,000 while and colored fans. Handicapped by 12-ounc. gloves, the young New Jersey fighter who boasts Pittsburgh, Pa., as his home town, lived up to his advanced reputation by taking 8 of the 10 stanzas from his adversary. Reed, who wipped Jimmy McLarnin into shape for both his fights with Barney Ross, was never a factor as far as his clash with Gibbs was concerned. Winner Impressive Gibbs exhibited a stiff left jab that was worrysome throughout. And when he was not relying on that weapon he was punishing Reed with a two-handed uppercut attack, the like of which District fans have not seen during the brief history of local prize-fighting. One scribe said, "Gibbs, looking more like George Gibson than anything colored that has stepped into a ring in a long time, went at full speed for 10 rounds and drew up without taking a deep breath." A cheap preliminary card preceded the main bout. Ted King did everything imaginable to Carlos Zavola to gain a draw; Jimmy Ross decisioned Wildcat Thomas; Sammy Williams of this city gave the dose to Kid Clay in the second of their scheduled 4-round go and Willie Green also of this city received the nod over Buddy Miles, of Roanoke.

Yellowjackets Bow in St. Cyprian Finale The St. Cyprian A.C. eleven stood off the determined bid of the Yellowjacket football team in the closing game of the Sandlot-Semi Pro Football League, at Twenty-sixth street and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. The Saints were on the long end of a 6-0 count. Twice the winners held their rivals from Northwest on their own 2-yard line. Yates scored for the Southeast outfit on an off-tackle play which resulted in a 16-yard run. The victors finished their schedule with 2 defeats and no ties in 8 games.

By Al Vessells ALPHAS BEAT N.Y. SIGMAS, 17-16 IN THRILLER Local Fraternity Quint Scores in Season's Opener NEW YORK—Exhibiting a strong defensive team, the Washington Alpha court quint stopped the fast stepping New York Phi Beta Sigma five to the tune of 17-16, Sunday, before 1,000 in the Lido Ballroom. The rabid fans who witnessed the struggle saw the Sigmas lose their first game in five years on the home floor. Prior to the start of hostilities, John Henry Lewis, strong contender for heavyweight pugilistic honors, threw out the Take Lead Windy Wallace, late of Iowa University, started the scoring festivities by sinking a sensational basket from the left side of the court. Lefty Powell evened the score, only to have the immortal Lanky Jones make one of his specialties. Bill Bartlett, Sigma's big gun, then sent the New Yorkers ahead with two quick baskets. This proved to be the only time that the Sigmas were ahead as Tom Reid and Joe Sewall scored from the floor with a foul shot by Pinky Clarke sandwiched between The half ended with the Alphas leading 13-11. The second half saw very little action, while the teams struggled along on fairly even terms. It was devoid of all thrills until Joe Sewall and Windy Wallace of the Alphas started their bone-crushing play. Then, with the insertion of Cholly Ware, who won the Alpha-Sigma game last spring in the closing seconds, the Sigma offense cracked under the nervous tension, Bartlett fouling himself out of the game. The Washingtonians took charge of things, freezing the ball for the last two minutes of play.

Storer College Gridders Bow to Alumni Eleven HARPER$ FERRY, W. Va.— As a finale to the Storer College football season a picked group of old star football players played the college team in a benefit game on the high school grounds. By TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT Fellow teammates and students at Howard University feel that an injustice has been imposed on Paul L. Perkins, whose ineligibility caused the forfeiture of five C. I. A. A. games this year, and have come to the defense of the popular athlete with a statement absolving Perkins of all blame in the case. As the story goes, Perkins attended Howard in 1931, transferred to Washington and Jefferson College the next year and played on the freshman football team but failed to hurdle the scholastic requirements and was subsequently dismissed. He remained out of school in 1933 but decided to return to Howard this fall. Students Challenge School Version He played football with the Bison eleven until the eve of the Thanksgiving classic with Lincoln when he was declared ineligible by Frederick Wilkinson, university registrar. University officials contend that his record from Washington and Jefferson was not available until the date of the terrible declaration. But they give another angle. Spokesmen for the students intimated that officials are trying to cover things up for themselves by making Perkins the "goat." It was stated to Perkins, the coach and the acting head of the Physical Education Department at the beginning of the football season that Perkins was eligible, thus the McDonald, Pa., halfback had a just right to participate in the games. When he was declared ineligible on November 28, it was a shock to him as well as the students, according to general student opinion. Reports Blame Boy Subsequent newspaper reports and the report of the C. I. A. A. Eligibility Committee have tended to show that Perkins was to blame for his illegal playing, the students contend. Although Howard athletic officials, as well as Perkins, knew he had failed at the northern school, they were informed at the outset of the season by the Howard registrar that his eligibility was O. K. For this reason the athlete is not at fault, is the consensus of opinion among the students. The report of the C. I. A. A. A. Eligibility Committee calling for the forfeiture of the Bisons' conference games as adopted at Friday's meeting absolved the Howard University Board of Athletic Control of blame in connection with Perkins' ineligibility but failed to mention anything concerning the athlete's position. This, the students feel, puts the blame unjustly, on the athlete inasmuch as he had been duly notified that he was eligible before playing a game in October. In addition to this, it is contended, Blue and White authorities knew of his record at Washington and Jefferson although it was not on hand.

Friday, at the home of C.R. Williford. The Hampton professors attended the annual C.I.A.A. meeting in the city Most inspiring reports were made of the progress being made at Hampton by Mr. Williams, and Mr. Smith assured the group that football prospects for another year are most satisfying, and urged Hamptonians to prepare to be with the team at the Polo grounds in New York for the Thanksgiving game next year. Remarks were by members of the unit, who represented several of the professions as well as many of the trades told of many interesting struggles in their attempt to carry out the Hampton spirit, and assured the visitors that they were ready to do what ever they could for their Alma Mater. Wesley D. Elam, president of the Washington Alumni Unit served as toast master, and Attorney Williford was host. D.C Unit Meets The regular monthly meeting of the Washington Unit was held at the W.Y.C.A., Sunday. Attorney E. P.

His address was stimulating, and began a series of discussions that will make us more conscious of our duties as citizens under the New Deal. The Unit is planning its third Founder's Day program to be held the last Sunday in January. These programs have been held at Lincoln Congregational Temple.

The Tribune's All-CIAA board consisted of the following: E. P. Hurt and "Marse" Hill, head coach and assistant coach of the Morgan College championship team; Ray Kemp, coach of the runner-up Bluefield Teachers' College team; Gid Smith, coach of Hampton; H. B.

PLAYER SCHOOL POSITION Crawford. Morgan Left End Gaither Howard Left Tackle Drake Morgan Left Guard Bergen Lincoln Center Hursey A. and T. Right Guard Jenkins Union Right Tackle E. Poole Union Right End Anderson Howard Quarter Back Norman A. and T. Half Back Banks Bluefield Half Back Troupe Morgan Full Back SECOND TEAM There can be little doubt as to the quality of the two men named to the end position on the first teams as Crawford of Morgan and E. Poole of Union were chosen unanimously. Both men, according to the discussion, are fast under punts, deadly tacklers, good at mussing interference and adept at handling forward passes. Crawford stood out as one of the mainstays, both offensively and defensively, in the play of the Bears. Howard Boy Standout Gaither, whose play in the forward wall of the Bisons last year was noteworthy, returned to the fold of the Washingtonians in 1934 to continue his stellar performance. He is paired with Jenkins, Coach Hucles's stering lineman, for the All-CLIA A. tackle posts. Much publicity was given the Howard lad for his achievements of the 1933 season when the Bisons were going through a pretty disastrous campaign. The newspaper boys seemed to like to use the expression "the fifth man in the opposing backfield," when speaking of Gaither. A strong, well built youngster, Gaither broke through time and again to smear the opponent's play before they were begun. Jenkins, like E. Poole, stood head and shoulders above the rest of the linesmen of the Richmond Panthers. Fast afoot and a deadly tackler, the Union player literally "locked up" the other tackle position. At the guards, Drake of Morgan and Hursey of A. and T., hold forth. Men closely connected with the Bears declare that Drake had much to do with the holding up of the exactly what they came out to see, a new heavyweight menace who rides like Westrope and runs like Equipeo. Matchmakers Jim Mullen and Nate Lewis paid the youngster around $5,000 for working 30 minutes and 51 seconds. Louis. a Chicago Tribune Golden Gloves champion in March of this year, joined the pro ranks July 4. engaging in his first fight with Jack Kracken. He knocked Kracken out in the first round. F. that fight he received $50. Thus in six months his earning capacity has increased 1,000 per cent. After three preliminary bouts in the first of which Louis' stablemate, Johnny Verse, won the need over Alex Borshuk, in white in six rounds, a ten-minute intermission was called before the main bout. Ramage wearing a flowing green robe enfeled the blue shirt. End Choices Unanimous Howard Boy Standout Guards Good Ramage Enters Ring First center part of the Orange and Blue forward wall this year. This is a tribute in itself when it is recalled that the Bears have held their opponents to 25 points in their last 25 games. Hursey, a hard-working, agressive lineman whose charging ability cannot be denied, deserves his selection on the team if any of the players do. The Aggie lad was a thorn in the side to opposing team throughout the season just closed. He possessed not only the uncanny knack of breaking through, but one of being able to block out for his team's punts and then cover them, which combination of activities requires strength, brains and speed. Centers Poor Bus Bergen, captain of the lowly Lincoln Llons, gained the snapper-back nomination over what Coach Gid Smith of Hampton described as "a poor lot of centers." Bergen, it cannot be denied, is one of the best thinking athletes in collegiate circles. And this, together with his natural ability, stamped him the kingpin of C.I.A. A.pivottion. Alston, flipperback for the North Carolina College Eagles, received some votes for the berth, but the Lion captain edged him out by a slim margin. Bison Named at Quarter The second Howard man to be banged for the mythical eleven was Anderson. Coach Charlie West's quick-thinking, hard-wording quarterback. Here, too, the contest was close with Norman of A. and T. and Eates of Virginia State getting some calls. Anderson's margin was safer, however, than that allotted Bergen. The Blue and White boy's work in the Lincoln game and his generalship in the Hampton game were probably the factors which turned the tide of opinion in his favor. Triple-Threat Backfield Beaten in his candidacy for the quarterback berth, Norman of A. and T.—living up to the adage "you can't keep a good man down."—clinched a halfback position to the customers returned to the arena. He was greeted with mild applause. The Irish mittman pranced about in the ring, nodded here and there, and walked from his corner to that of Louis where he grasped the ropes and went through some loosening up exercises. Ramage scrammed when a steadily increasing din announced the entrance of "Baby Face" Joe into the arena. The crowd yowled and howled over its favorite. Open Sparring Both fighters swung into action with the opening gong. The dope had spread it out that Ramage would give the customers a boxing exhibition of the Jim Corbett order and that Louis would duplicate Jack Dempsey, the Manassa Mauler. Each fighter met the customers' homes. For the first few seconds Louis chased to — — with his wife Lola. The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 22, 1934 Centers Poor Open Sparring Southern Body Holds Membership to 12 Schools; Punishes 2 Players TALLAHASSEE, Florida — The twenty-first annual meeting of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference was held at the Florida A. and M. College, last Friday and Saturday. The Conference representatives were welcomed by Dr. J. R. E. Lee, president of the college, who in a cordial word of greeting said he thought the coach occupied a very important place in the mechanical life of any institution and that he should be one of the best trained and most efficient men on the staff. The most important actions of the conference revolved around the arrangement of the football and basketball schedules for 1935, the interpretation of the new changes in the basketball rules, and decisions regarding unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of some players during the 1934 season. The body tabled for another year the three-year rule, proposed by Cleve L. Abbott, and discussion of the incidents of the Florida-Morris Brown football game which has drawn considerable comment from the press. Body Refuses Two The applications of Paine College, Augusta, Ga., and Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., were not accepted. It was decided that for the present the membership would be limited to the present twelve institutions. Xavier University of New Orleans, La., was admitted into the conference as an associate member. Players Perrin and Puckett, of the Clark University football team were disqualified for one year for unsportsmanlike conduct in a football game. The conference voted B. T.

The clever Ramage ducked and rolled away from these dynamite charges and countered with a flicking left to Louis's chin. The crowd sat on the edge of the seats in admiration. Each fighter was giving a masterly exhibition in his line. Ramage made Joe miss punches that brought gasps from the spectators and he constantly dusted the Louis nose with his powder puff right. The jabs did not seem to hurt, but added to the score of points against Louis who kept boring in trying to get the range. Utilizing a trick taught him by the old master, his trainer, Jack Blackburn, Louis stuck out his long left toward Ramage's stomach in an effort to measure the distance of the Irish ghost. In the fourth round, he found the distance and sent over a left that caused the Outer Celtic league to laugh.

Seventh Round Fatal The beginning of the end for Ramage was seen in the final seconds of the seventh round, however. Joe backed the California into his own corner and sent a crashing right into the kidneys. Ramage winced and rolled away. The effect of the punch had not left him when Ramage returned for the eighth round. Blackburn instructed his protege to go in and take him. Louis opened the round in a rush. Ramage hopped his free-wheeling bicycle and gave an exhibition of backpedaling that would have done credit to a champion figure skater. Eut "Baby Face" would not be denied. With less than a minute to go, the youngster "with a skin you'd love to touch" came in on his man drove a left then crossed with a right on the skin and down and a program will be given by the teachers and the pupils.

Ramage All In He took a nine-count and was on his feet again. Again, those piston like arms shot out and down went the California for another nine count. Game to the core, the Irish battler who had never been knocked out, grasped the ropes, glassy-eyed and rose again just before the fatal count. He was a pitiable sight, all his skill having deserted him. Once more, Louis flattened him and stood ready for the "kill." Referee Phil Collins threw his arms around the new heavyweight sensation and held him off. At the same time, Ramage's seconds threw a towel into the ring and the fight was awarded to Louis on a technical knockout. After the fight, there was much speculation as to what might have happened if Ramage had stayed on the ten feet. Although he CLASSIFIED man; negative: the Rev. Henderson and Charles Green.

North 0215-1M LEGAL NOTICES LEWIS DOBY, Attorney SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT of Columbia-Holding Probate Court. Jackson had not hurt Louis with his light jabs, the general impression was that he had piled up enough points to earn the decision. The Associated Negro Bress, however, felt that although Louis had landed fewer blows, they had been clean- er, and more solid, and that Louis had carried the fight to the Coast phenom in such a manner as to entitle him to the verdict. How- ever, Joe settled the matter by putting his man out. Ramage was the twelfth victim, of Louis, ten of whom have been knocked out. Louis entered the ranks of the first ten heavyweights just two weeks ago when he flattened Charlie Massera, Pittsburgh Italian, in three rounds. Massera had not been grounded before. Lasky Probably Next The Detroit youngster has now established himself as one of the four leading heavyweights.

Levinsky and Lasky fought a draw here in November. Both Lasky and Levinsky hold disputed decisions over Ramage, but neither knocked him out. Although Chicago fans are raving for a match between Levinsky and Louis, Joe's next foe will probably be Art Lasky. He had been tentatively signed up to meet Patsy Berreni in Detroit on the 28th, but indications are that that battle will be passed up in favor of a more lucrative one with Lasky January 25. Levinsky and his manager-sister, Lena, invaded Joe's dressing room after the fight, flowering him with praise. The Kingfish indicates a desire to fight the new phenom, but wants a city of money for it. Around the Play Centers Of the Nation’s Capital No soonor than Ear!

But the individual who has aspirations for leadership, and for mastery in life, the necessity for cultivating and developing a dynamic and winning personality must always be the paramount object. Young people in attempting to pattern and mould character are sometimes wont to introduce eccentric qualities in their personality makeup—laboring under the sometime illogical theory that the eccentric type ends to awaken a greater and quicker response from the masses of the people. While eccentricities in manners and customs, speech, dress and general mode of living may often make an individual "stand out from the crowd." no one can achieve any measure of greatness unless he possesses that forcefulness and strength of character that is commensurate with success and real achievement.

K. H. B—Will my husband get well, and I be able to do what I have planned to do? Ans: I am sorry to dissapoint you, but your husband IS GOING TO GET WELL, and you won't be able to get his insurance and marry that other man. If you don't love your husband you had better leave him, because he will be very much alive after this sickness. M. L. H—Please tell me who stole the money out of my purse? And: You dropped the dollar bill in church two weeks ago. You opened your purse to take out some change, and the bill fell out on the seat beside you. Ask about it at the church, and you may be able to get it back. A. E. D—I want to know if I am going to get what I expect? Ans: Little girl, I am happy to tell you that I believe old Santa Claus is going to be very good to you this year.

R. —Is what I have planned the best thing for me to do? the best thing for me to do? Ans: It seems to me that you are planning to go back home for the Christmas holidays, and that you would like to stay there. I think you would be happier there with the children than you would be if you returned to your present location. J. J. B.—Will you please tell me my wife will ever get well? Ans: Your wife is not really seriously ill, and she can get out of bed anytime that she wishes to. She likes to be waited on and to have people pretend that she is ill in order to get the attention that she draves. X.

Alvin "Chick" Webb STAR YOU PLACE American Stage Ans: You don't have anything to worry about; your oldest son is going to finish paying for your home. But please don't send your questions without your full name, birth date and correct address as I can give you more information. L. W. G.—Please tell me what is this trouble that I have, and what can I do about it? Ans: You seem to be having a series of troubles. The skin inflammation is not eczema; it seems to be what is called a ring worm, and it can be cured very easily if you will see a good reliable doctor and have him give you a prescription. Your second question is YES, and if you desire further information you may send a quarter for a private reply. V. M.—Which one of the men I am going with will make me the best husband? Ans: The married man that you are going with is very fond of you, but he isn't thinking about leaving his wife in order to marry you. That only leaves the other boy, so it shouldn't be hard for you to decide what to do. V. M. H.—Will I realize my ambitions? Ans: You have a marvelous talent for working in the educational field, and I advise you to concentrate your efforts on finishing college, and to put your boy friend out of your mind for a while. You will have plenty of time for him after your education is completed. M. H.—Please tell me what I can do about the way my husband carries on? Ans: It would seem that a man 63 years old would have settled down long ago, but if your husband insists on making a fool of himself over young women then I don't see much that you can do about it. See if you can't get his money, and then he won't have anything to attract the women with. The Younger Set By MORRIS L. MURRAY BY MORGAN K This is one of those gloomy days, when I'd like to sit in a dark corner suiling, while people coax me to write a column. But, who cares about my moods. Flash!!! A sigh of relief went up Saturday night when Julius Pogue did not show up at Valerie Kendrick's house. By the way, Valerie, are you still receiving those big red apples and English waw nuts? There's a persistent rumor that Adelaide Letcher is giving B.J. the run-around. A handkerchief drying contest is being enacted at Romona Parker's. W, told you so, Romona, Sam Nichols is dynamite....Norma Pinkney admits that there was nothing to that bit of scandal that was dished last week boy her friend and Billy Plummer. Somebody was fooled, could it have haunt Billy? Placid Washington confessed to yours truly that he was the only berry in the pie...What two girls were the last to receive their invites to the Ivyarts swinger? Looked like the kingfish of the J.L.C.'s is losing popularity...Attention scribes! Ye olde column promises you on grand and glorious surprise, next week on this very sheet we will expose activities of the so-called "Den" where all the high school "cats" merge together. Questions: Where was "Shorty Ray of the tribe of the Glirad Street Rayo Saturday? Answer: Dancing with Pee-Wee hostess of Fifth Street....Who is that little chick, Willis Madden is walking with regular?....Saw Charlie Johnson, Blackie Malwan, Chick Webb, Richard Poole, Joe Bostie, Theo Scott, Edward (Jack Ædiamonds) Torrence, Woodrow (Foghorn) Derricotte and others at the Rev. Father Diving's holy rolling festival. The boys featured Joe Bingham's latest wampus while rolling with the sisters....They tell 'em Rip Naylor and Malcolm Oldham graced the joint with their presence....So-oo Isabelle Perkew gave a swinger last week unknown to ye column....Looked like Jimmy Dickinson Davidson got his headgear kinda mixed at the pasty. Hesh? The most talked about social event of the Christmas week are the invitations which read, "The Ivyarts invite you to attend their initial dance." Members of the club are Dorothy Clark, Mary Dowling, Nancy Fountaina, Corrine Daniels Marguerite Pearson, Marjorie Rutherford, Patricia Stewart, Edna Thomas and Gerald Wilson. The hop at Carolyn Ramsey's was swell. It was supposed to be a surprise party, but I'm telling you Carolyn couldn't have been surprised so much as she pretended. Wonder if her bosom friend tipped her off about the affair. WINCHELL IN CARDOZO By JULIUS NEWMAN FLASH . . . With Dude Rueker in Cardozo's Clee Club, it will not be surprising to see it on Broadway soon, in lights. . . I wonder will Sars Gordon and Louie Chaffin come to blows over the little chick that they both like. . . Get this. . . Junita Dixon, former Dunbar student, was invited to a party by Thelma McEaddy to see who would have the best show with Alfred Patterson. . . Well, the young lady stepped up there and only stayed five minutes because of what she saw. Now, how do you like that? . . . Still among the post-graduates, we find the lovely La Verne Evans sticking to her policy "You won't get nothing on me" and so far she is succeeding. . . Helen Lewis, moaning because she hasn't a boyfriend to give her a Christmas present. . . At one time the young lady had several, willing to give her all the precious jewels in the world if they had them at their disposal. . . Too much jiving leads to what? . . . Nothing. ... Catherine Plater, still as dizzy as ever. . . Mack Chapman holding first place as a P. G. shown without competition. Why? . . Because none could ever hope to equal him. . . Enough hah been said about the upper boobs. . . FLASH. Here is where I wish someone wrinkled with oid age for laughing at the joke she played on yours truly Friday night. . . The little trick proved very embarrassing. Imagine Sarah Martin and Edith Lacey going home and getting money for a show, and after going, only looking at Le Count Johnson and Warfield Clark who were not actors but mere spectators as themselves. . . FLASH. . . The romance between William Reynolds and Sarah Mayden is heading for a sand bar because, of the ever present third man (Rabi Matthews) . . . Quite tough for the blond lad. FLASH. . . It's a bet that those boys who're supposed to be world champion gate crashers lost their titles at the very entrance of the Junior Dance last Friday. . . Midget Harry Baker and Laura Luckett cut a mean figure on the floor at the affair. . . I think he did happen to be a little taller than she, however. The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 22, 1984 THE MOUTHPIECE TOMMY A priz, should be awarded. Encl and Jessie Conway for the smartest party held in old D.C. during the year. No fooling. And here are some of the high-lights. Smoke them over. All the big shots were there and some of the little shots—such as buckshots. One little buckshot made it kinder hard for me (Chols) with his tap dancing—but Chols beat him otherwise. The good old drum major (William Jenkins) was in line and he had that lovely thing with him, meaning Viola Sullivan (Micky Mouse) and this time the music did not stop, but Blondell did. So what? He's got ants in his pants and Bro. Jenkins did lay it. Looking around there am Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ray. No fooling, but the dear boy left his drums at home. Ruth told him to take his little drum and beat it. What a party! Frank Jones says so himself, and he knows. And for the love of Mike, smoke Hooke! Did you see anything queer? No? Well then, nufed. Howard Mathews was on line with that old Oriental smile, Ruth Mason must have been hit by a lovchug. Shake out of it, Sister. The L. Marshalls were doing their stuff. Saw old man Marshal's shooting stumps. You'll get your hands mashed, Son. Beverly Carter, was that your buddies? As usual here come Cadillac and Mabel all late but then Mabel had to wait for Cadillac, and he in turn had to wait for them to close. Now what made Alanzo Collins call at fourth-try? Where had you been, Son, but never mind the Misses did not miss you, Laughs that off. And did you ever see, Danie Hill so quiet. Next time, Soa, tell Chols your troubles. And last, but plenty mellow, was Chols himself. But something must have went wrong 'cause the first thing Chols knew was he had his orders to get his hat and coat. Now why? And here am the guest list, smoke 'em: Mr. and Mrs. Mark Terrell, Frank F. Jones, Miss Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Conway, Mr. and Mrs. James Colbert, Bud Speller, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Lomax.

She was once dead, now she livieth on R.I. Ave. (Happy am L.) Mr. Mallory, though somewhat old, still has a keen eye on the chickens. Think no evil, do not evil, and see no evil.

They tell me, Fletcher Hale, woke up the devil when his head struck the pavement. A certain officer of the Washington Aristocrat was seen in the Republic Gardens drinking—just water. He told the waitress that he was carrying out the doctor's orders. How true. Mr. Tyler, will you kindly tell us what was in your hand when your friend accidentally fell. It must have been gas. James Weaver has been smoking the same cigar for over a year, so I am told.

NAACP Pickets Make Silent Protest After Police Arrest Threats Preachers, Students and Professors Among 70 at Crime Conference Presenting a grim and silent protest against omission of the discussion of lynching by the Crime Conference, held at the Memorial Continental' Hall, last week, by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, over 70 pickets, wearing nooses of new rope around their necks and bearing signs specifying the number of lynchings during the past half century, appeared at the last session of the conference, Thursday afternoon. Led by Mrs. Virginia R. McGuire, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary, Attorney Edward P. Lovett and Charles H. Houston, dean of Howard University Law School, ministers, lawyers and 55 students of Howard University carried out the picketing with military precision despite efforts of police to disperse them. Want Legislation Following the arrest of four pickets, Tuesday, the opening day of the conference, officers of the N.A.A.C.P. mapped out the graphic demonstration that proved to be one of the most successful pickets ever seen in Washington. The picketing was in protest of the refusal of Attorney General Cummings to place lynching on the conference's agenda and in support of the N.A.A.C.P. request that the Crime Conference should go on record in favor of Federal anti-lynching legislation. Signs Within Law Around the neck of each of the pickets was a piece of rope. Each had a sign pinned across his body, some with the inscription, "5,068 in 52 years," and others saying "94 women in 48 years." The female pickets wore the latter signs and the male the former. They were lined up just off the sidewalk across Seventeenth Street from the hall with about 10 paces between them to avoid any act which might have caused police intervention. The pickets were silent, refusing to converse with any person without instructions from one of their leaders. The signs were less than one foot in size to avoid violation of the District sign law. Each picket was given detailed written instructions and each located in order to avoid the parade law. Approximately one-half of the group were women and girls. One was blind. He was the Rev. Thomas Garnett, honor graduate of Howard University. Met at Y.W.C.A. At noon, the pickets gathered at the Phyllis Wheatley Y, W.C.A. and were subsequently carried in caba to the Continental Hall. The caba were discharged at different intervals to avoid the charge of a parade. As the pickets appeared on the scene, city police, surprised by their coming, threatened to make arrests, Captain Edward J, Kelly, of the Third Precinct, called Dean Houston and Mrs. McGuire into conference but was unable to persuade the association leaders to disband the pickets. Captain Kelly told Houston "you are wasting your energy as this is not making an impression." Dean Houston advised him of the law, and of the fact that the pickets were not in any way violating it. Call Park Police Call Park Police Captain Kelly then called Captain Patrick J. Carroll, head of the Park Police, for conference. Despite the fact that the pickets were standing quietly on park grounds, off the sidewalk across the street from the hall, park police refused to interfere. Then, Henry Suydan, Special Assistant in the Department of Justice, came on the scene and conferred with Captain Kelly. Still, the forces of the law were powerless to act. Threaten Arrest Failing in everything else, Captain Kelly told the pickets that he would arrest them under the parade law if they left the scene in mass formation. To avoid this the pickets were removed one by one, picked up in the waiting cabs and sent back to the Y.W.C.A. by different routes. The pickets were on post for over an hour, catching the conference delegates as they left the morning session. They were stretched along Seventeenth Street from Constitution Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue. As the delegates came out their attention was immediately attracted to the pickets. Some of them made comments, many favorable and others quite uncomplimentary. One of the pickets overheard a passerby say, apparently after reading the sign, that hundreds more are going to be lynched.

Weak Resolution Adopted The attorney general refused until the end to invite the N.A.A.C.P. to send delegates to the conference so that lynching could be brought up in the floor discussions even if not on the program. Wednesday morning, however, he did invite the Washington Bar Association and they sent five delegates, one of whom was Dean Houston. At the close of the conference, despite the President's reference to lynching in his opening speech, Monday night and the activity of pickets and the final presence of colored delegates, the following almost meaningless resolution was adopted: "That the conference condemns the use of methods of dealing with industrial conflicts and racial antagonisms which are not in accord with orderly and lawful procedures and urges the administration of all phases of public safety by legally constituted law enforcement agencies only."

WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 22 1934 D.C. ELKS START FIGHT ON WILSON (Continued from page 1) selection was their right and named Herbert Jones, past exalted ruler. Neither side would compromise and Mr. Wilson threatened to move the grand lodge session to another city. Recently he has caused to be formed a new lodge. The Greater Washington Lodge of Elks, and it is said he plans to have this new group entertain the grand lodge here next August. The rule issued Wednesday seeks to prevent the grand exalted ruler from interfering with the plans of the two lodges to entertain the grand lodge session. If this fight is won by the lodges it will automatically place the grand exalted ruler in a precarious position as an attempt he will be made to oust him at the next convention. New York to Aid D. C. Several cities including New York, have already intimated that they will join with the local lodges opposing Wilson for reelection. In an exclusive statement to The Tribune this week the legal committee of the two lodges, Morning Star and Columbia, headed by Dr. Leo Holton, issued the following statement through its publicity director, Charles A. Cornish; Fires Fanned to Flames Fires Fanned to Flames "The bill of complaint filed on behalf of each of the local subordinate lodge, contains a scathing denunciation of Wilhelm's actions, attempting to infiltr himself on what the lodges say is their exclusive domain. Wilhelm has long been the focal point of attack both within and without the order. For years his power and influence has made him almost invulnerable to the attacks made by his ability to control the time to time has so completely entrenched him in power, that it was taken for granted no living member of the organization would dare to oppose him or his slightest wish or desire. "Smouldering fires of resentment towards Wilhelm have not been used to flames of heat in the event that a real two-fisted fire now looms imminent between the local lodges and their Grand Exalted Ruler. Takes Care of Mr. Wilson Takes Care of Mr. Wilson "The trouble has its intention in Wilson's determination to continue himself in the organization. At the Indianapolis convention held in August 1033, it is insisted by a great many of the local members that Wilson laid the foundation to perpetuate himself in the colony influence, he had passed a resolution for the purpose of extending his term as grand exalted ruler for a period of two years. The term of no other office was extended by his resolution, and he was appointed well plan to take care of Mr. Wilson. "The constitution of the Grand Lodge provided that the term of election not only of the grand exalted ruler, but also of the trustees and Grand Auditors should be for one year. The local members claim that Mr. Wilson at this time with his usual influence saw on the position the imminent doom of his leaderships and for that reason he was to be passed the resolution referred to." "At the 1924 convention in Atlantic City by a ruling of the G. Tillis Nutter, acting grand exalted ruler, it was declared that Mr. Wilson was not properly elected for president. The president, Mr. Wilson had anticipated such a ruling and subtly went into distant Maryland to a lodge of insignificant proportions and there caused to be submitted an amendment to the constitution such as would defects of the Indianapolis convention. Election Challenged "The local members contend, however, that Mr. Wilson was duly elected for the term prescribed in the constitution, i. e., one year only. However, during that convention, Mr. Wilson was the district Maryland lodge, amending the constitution in such manner as to take care of him, Mr. Wilson, but neglecting to take care of the other elective officers for a like term. This ranked Mr. Wilson among the members, and spread the seeds of dissention. Trouble Started "However, during the 1934 convention a great effort was made on the part of Morning Star and Columbia Lodges to procure the convention for the District of Columbia this coming year. It is a well-established convention of this size is a wholesale undertaking in which large sums of money must be raised, efficient organization be effected and a great many details worked out. The convention, which they must necessarily assume both lodges made every effort possible to procure the convention, and when the delegates returned to the District of Columbia it was an enormous effort. These lodges would set as joint-hosts to the grand lodge in the City of Washington during the 1955 convention. But that was a tribute to the grandstad lodges and the local subordinate lodges with the grand lodge. All hands seemed happy and a great deal of enthusiasm abounded throughout the city. Both lodges met in regular session and the convention was held on their behalf. Then the trouble began. Morning Star Overlooked "Mr. Wilson, among other things, succeeded that certain names be referred to him from which a general chairman and other officers would be designated to act. Columbia Lodge was asked to select four officers, and the other Morning Star was overlooked. "Early in October 1834, the grand exultant ruler in a written communication to the officers of Columbia Lodge, Dr. Charles B. Fisher, both members of Columbia Lodge, would be satisfactory to him as general chairman. But the sub-committee of the officers of the own. They decided to act through their committees now united into a Joint Committee, and it was decided further that the Joint committees would select the general chairman, and ratification and approval of the lodges. Wilson Steps In Wilson Steps In "Then Mr. Wilson stepped in and took action of his own. He notified the lodges that he was going to be the vice-convener and when his own electable cata and desires. He said he was justified in doing this by authority in the constitution of the grand lodge. The local lodge, however, refused to permit him to run the show in his own way, and can be distrusted by his own representatives. The peace, harmony and good-will of the entire membership. "That did not dismantle Mr. Wilson, who calmly went about his business of naming Dr. Fisher as his own chairman, and tendering applications to John W. Petrie as general secretary and John T. Rulens as general treasurer. Rejected Appointments "The latter two believing in harmony and the desires of the membership promptly rejected the appointments. Efforts were made again to have Mr. Wilson step down from his high-handed and dictatorial position, but again with complete disregard for the interests of the lodges wanted. he notified them in effect that Dr. Fisher would be the chairman or there would be no convention. "He followed this up in an official com munication directed to each of the subar JOIN OUR CHRISTMAS CLUB Club Closes Jan. 5, 1935 INDUSTRIAL BANK OF WASHINGTON 11th & U Sts. N. W. dinate lodges in the District of Columbia commanding them to make no arrangements, sign no contracts or in other words, do nothing, so far as making any plans for the 1935 convention in the District of Columbia, a same letter he notified them that by reason of the actions of the local subordinate lodges and the general committee representing them that both lodges and their committees were in rebellion and for that reason were insubordinate to him. By reason thereof an emergency had been seen and that it would be necessary for him to take action against them and give it to some other city." "Cut Rate Fees" The suit filed is an injunction setting up the grievances of the local lodges in a lengthy but nevertheless complete resume of what the local members say was usurption and dictatorship on the part of their Grand Exalted Ruler. It covers not only in detail his activities and alleged interference with the local lodges but sets up the fact that Wilson with personal malice and mischief is attempting to organize and install another lodge in the District of Columbia by taking members in who have no right to be taken in at what the bill of complaint describes as "cutrate fees," it also alleges that to carry out his scheme of destruction, discord and disorganization he is attempting to "ween away" members of the local subordinate lodges into his new lodge. It attacks him for his efforts to suspend the local lodges without complying with the constitution and rituals of the Grand Lodge providing for the right of trial and the opportunity to be faced with charges. The bill sweeping in its charges, prays that Wilson as grand exalted ruler be restrained by a Court of Equity from attempting to take the convention away from the District of Columbia, from attempting to suspend the local subordinate lodges, from attempting to interfere with them or their plans for holding the convention and from attempting to organize the new lodge. STILLWELL TELLS LIFE'S STORY TO THE TRIBUNE (Continued from page 1) mythological character. Cecrops, half man, half snake. And all because of his advanced study. Still well knew only too well how weak he was. Waiting Bore Fear The ex-tennis star who has read his name linked in papers throughout the nation with "Toothpick Burglar" captions raps out indistinguishable tunes with his finger tips as he seeks solace in his own company. Stillwell bides his time in aimless occupation while he waits, waits. This waiting is the horrible part of it all; this waiting is the real ordeal. All his life he hated waiting—hated it, dodged it, feared it. For in the end he knew his "Mr. Hyde" personality would send him to destruction. Reluctant but surprisingly sequential is Stillwell's story. Born in Temple, Texas in 1905, the former university student has spent the last 20 years of his life dreading that climax, or one similar to it, reached Monday, December 3. Early Age Injury At the age of 9, according to the youth's life history, he was struck down and kicked in the head by an older and larger white boy who seemed to revel in persecuting Stillwell and the latter's younger brother. Three teeth were lost in this involuntary scuffle, the youth declares, and the three which replaced them have no feeling and no apparent life. A severe head injury, he states, was also suffered by him. A few years later, according to the lad, a horse which had bolted in fear of a train and thrown his master from the seat of a wagon, killing him, repeated the offense with him holding the reins. Again he suffered an injury to the head. Came to Washington Coming to Washington, six years after the death of his father to whom he was devoted, Stillwell enrolled in the 1926 freshman class of Howard University. It was at this point in his life that he came to realize that he was guided by impulses over which he had no control. Not until after the 1926 freshman-sophomore "rush," when he was told by classmates that he had cleaned up the upper-classmen almost single-handed, was he able to assign a reason for numerous things he had done in his life and for which he had no explanation. While at work in the dining hall in 1927, Stillwell became involved in another fracas which resulted in his expulsion from school. An upper-classman who was taunting him during the meal hour was attacked by the former Texan and knocked unconscious. University authorities immediately suspended him for the remainder of the year Sent for Brother Meanwhile, letters had been coming from his home telling of strained conditions there and of a worry-laden mother. The younger brother had become sick and needed medical attention. Stillwell sent for him. The youth came to Washington to join him. Things went along nicely. The youngster showed improvement and gradually became restored to apparent health. Then the older brother, the breadwinner, lost his job. Things went on the decline. The youngster had a relapse. Stillwell worshipped his brother and when the youth began to again lose flesh the former became frantic. Felt Responsibility A tubercular, the lad became wan looking, the ladate, starved. Stillwell did not know he was a victim of the incurable malady. As a result this ignorance drove him to the belief that he $ \mathrm{h}_{e} $ was responsible for the boy's condition. He felt that he was starving his younger brother to death. During the year of 1928, Stillwell started on his career of thievery. He entered a home and brought out food, food in abundance for his starved brother and himself. It was then that he felt what $ \mathrm{h}_{e} $ describes as "the most thrilling sensation" of an otherwise colorless existence. Brother Dies This continued through the next two years though $ \mathrm{h}_{e} $ mixed honest earnings at odd jobs with the illegitimate gains. And each time he burglarized a place he had the same feeling of exultation. But the brother died in 1931. It was during the year of 1932. Stillwell told his interviewer, that he met the dean of men at Howard University and the latter asked him why he had not returned to school. When he learned that he was eligible for reinstatement he resumed his studies. Haunted by "Hyde" Nature Haunted by "Hyde" Nature For a time, Stillwell asserts, he refrained from falling into his evil inclinations, but inevitably they would haunt him until his mind would become clouded. This troubled mind would play on him as he gradually came to realize that hours spent at study in the university library were unavailing as he found he could not retain what he had read, he could not remember what he sought to learn. Moved by this dread of keeping company with his thoughts, Stillwell declares he resorted to long walks. Treks out Georgia Avenue to Silver Spring, sometimes getting out of his bad for the purpose, became a habit with him. For a while these long walks, at times as early as 3 o'clock in the morning, gave him the relief he sought. Walked Late at Nights He then became tired of this and began changing about in his routes. He next found comfort in a walk which carried him around the McMillan Park Reservoir and out to Brookland. But after a time the relief he thus obtained became spent. Stealing was his only pleasure. He had few friends. He did not like cards. He refrained from taking part in checker games at the Y.MIC.A., where he made his home. He feared the gathering incident to these pastimes because he was afraid he would reveal his weakness. Wanted to Appear Strong "I wanted to appear strong." Stillwell declared in a louder voice than at any time during the interview. He stole. He entered houses with a pass-key after having first rung their bells to determine if any one was at home. Once inside he stuffed the key-hole with toothpicks to avoid being surprised at his work. This done, he next looked for the quickest possible means of escape. He then stole. Often he took things that were of little use to him, he declared. The loot valuation which was p'aced at close to $25,000 was gagered, Stillwell, states. People who lost watches worth from $5 to $10 frequently described their loss as from $25 to $50 because of some sentimental feeling. became "Toothpick Burglar" Asked how he happened to begin using toothpicks, the former university student declares the wooden pags were used after a sort of elimination process. Paper was used first, but was abandoned because of its ineffectiveness, then matches, then toothpicks. The small ends of the picks were pushed in first, leaving the larger ends outward. These were broken off to the door rendering removal except from within, impossible. Denies Dumb Trick Just before concluding his talk Stillwell blasted the theory of his inadvertent report to police which resulted in his capture. The report of his own loss was not altogether responsible for his capture, as newspapers made it appear.

LAW STUDENTS WON'T STRIKE (Continued from page 1 ) completely change their attitude upon hearing the professor's side of the issue. Refuses to Resign Dr. Buscheck soundly advised the students that he had no intention of resigning unless the university trustees demanded his resignation as he was not dissatisfied. Following the declaration of his intentions, Dr. Buscheck, in a passionate almost sympathetic speech, expressed deep surprise at the student's actions claiming that it had caused him much embarrassment and humiliation. Then, Dr. Buscheck defended his side of the controversy. Taking the four-point petition point by point, Dr. Buscheck refuted each in eloquent terms. He stated that the percentage of failures represented that of the entire faculty and not that of his classes as the student petition charged.

Calls Off Strike The committee, then agreed to disregard the petition and abolish any plans for striking if the professor would meet all his classes the next day and listen to criticism from its members. This he agreed to do. Answering criticisms of the students, individually, Dr. Buscheck reduced many of the complaints to definitions bordering on absurdness. Following this meeting, the committee recommended to the student body to abolish plans of a strike as Dr. Buscheck "promised to do better" as one student stated. Few Disagree This action was favorable to the majority of the students. A minority group dissented on the grounds that the committee was intimidated by Dean Houston. During the lengthy conference between students, Dr. Buscheck and the dean on Thursday, Dean Houston went out and brought the boys hamburgers and milk for lunch. This was "buying them out" according to the consensus of opinion among the disgruntled students.

BROWN tating Negro: atto: Announcement was made this week of the appointment of eight more colored camp advisors in the Civilian Conservation Corps. This brings the total number of colored advisors to 29 throughout the country. Sixty-five thousand picked youth, including several thousand World War veterans, have joined the corps and are engaged in clearing swamps, planting trees, and beau- tifying the Nation’s parks, rivers, lakes, forests, trails, and camps. “The boys enjoy health and wholesome work and play,” said Harry L. Hopkins, Administrator of the FERA. “An average of $25 per month goes to their parents for maintenance of the family back homes, and too, the Nation gains a sense of security in its future cit- izenry.” A grand total of nearly $7,000,- 000 in the last 18 months has been sent home by these boys, Exch re- ceive $5 a month for incidentals according to G. E. Dickey, * chief statistician of the CCC. Board and keep are taken care of by Uncle Sam. New wealth has been creat- ed by the labor of these boys, and they themselves are saved from the disillusionment of idleness. In the responsibility of selecting CCC camp advisors, equally high standards have been maintained throughout the whole personnel.

But she has a heart (or yath- er something where it should be) and it’s growing warmer by the minute at the thought of all the pretty things the Prattler hopes will happen to you because you are you.

The eastern group, together with the chapters in Chicago are reluctant to accept the resignation. The Southern group has proposed that Mitchell be made President-Emeritus. Among the older persons, the names of James Weldon Johnson and Dr. Robert Russa Moton have been mentioned. While Prof. Jesse Lewis and Dr. R. A. Billings, of Atlanta have been advanced by certain of the younger men.

Chester L. Smallwood, last week, was voted a call for life by the reorganization of the New Hope Baptist Church in its new headquarters at Sixth and P Streets, Northwest.

Mr. Smallwood arrested on a charge of destroying church property. Ellection Started Row According to the pastor, the trouble at the church started November 30 at the church's annual election of officers. The congregation wrangled over the election until midnight when the Rev. Mr. Smallwood dismissed the meeting without a satisfactory result. Later, the Rev. Mr. Smallwood stated Mr. Yeldell led a disgruntled group back to the church at 1 o'clock that night and declared the pulpit vacant. Mr. Yeldell, the pastor also stated, changed the locks on the church. At a subsequent meeting, last Tuesday, members of the church reconsidered the matter and declared their action of the dawn meeting null and void. They also decided to move the church to Sixth and P Streets. Northwest. Meanwhile, someone took the new locks off the church. Mr. Yeldell, claiming that the Rev. Mr. Smallwood had changed the locks, took the matter to the District Attorney's office but was unable to secure a warrant because of the lack of evidence, the pastor stated. Seek Incorporation Corporation papers for the new church were filed last Saturday by Attorney Thomas W. Parks, Lewis M. Miller, P. Garrett, George Quarrels, William Tyler and Marion Carymatee were named as trustees for the reorganized church. The original church was organized a year ago.

WIFE FREED OF FORGERY CHARGE BY HER HUSBAND Mrs. Effie Carter Alleged to Have Cashed Check on Husband's Insurance Mrs. Effie Carter, 748 Columbia Road, Northwest, who was charged by her husband with signing his name to a check for $110, was dismissed when the case was heard before Justice Joseph Cox in the District Supreme Court, Monday. John Edward Carter, the husband, alleged that he and his wife became estranged on December 1, 1930. In the following year, December 8, 1931 he stated that his wife secured a loan from the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company on a policy of $500. He claimed the signature was false and he received no part of the money. On taking the stand Mrs. Carter testified that the money was used to pay taxes on the home they owned and to buy coal and other necessities. The court ruled that since the money was used for the husband's own benefit it did not constitute forgery. Mrs. Carter also testified that her husband signed the papers for the loan and it was not a forgery. Mrs. Carter is employed in the House Office Building. Both are elderly. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins represented Mrs. Carter and the insurance company while Leonard A. Block, white, represented Mr. Carter.
