Sumner Accused of Numerous Cruelties by Spouse Accused of being the possessor of "a vile and ungoverned temper," and of having early last year chased his wife from the house with a loaded revolver, Francis H. Sumner, professor of psychology at Howard University, was named defendant in a suit for limited divorce brought by Mrs. Frances Sumner, 1116 Fairmont Street, Northwest, late last week.

Mrs. Summer complains of constant abuse which has lasted since shortly after their marriage 13 years ago in Ashbury Park, N.J. She tells of frequent beatings at the hands of her husband and of threats to kill her. She describes an entire summer he went away after leaving a note telling her that marriage was a "regrettable mistake," and finally how, with health underminded, he is compelled to live with her parents at 1116 Fairmont Street, unaided financially by him. All these charges are encouched in the bill filed by Mrs. Summer's attorneys and which Professor Summer will be required to answer if he intends to contest the action.

Holmes died two days after the holdup from gun shot wounds inflicted by John Glasco, Mosby, proprietor of the shop, who opened fire on him after a bullet from the bandit's revolver missed him and lodged itself in the store wall. Mosby was acquitted of blame in connection with the fatal shooting when a coroner's jury last week found that he acted in defense of his own life. Officer Frederick B. Ashe of Secured Precinct who carried the dead man to the hospital told the jury that Holmes was a known bandit. Holmes record revealed to the jury that he had been arrested four times. Once he was fined $25 on an assault charge, one case of robbery was mole proposed, again he was arrested for petty larceny and at the time of the Mosby holdup he was out of jail on probation from a 16-month sentence for violation of the Dyer Act involving the theft of stolen automobiles. Holmes refused to give police the identity of his companion and police have been unable to locate the fugitive.

Attorneys for Wilson Seek to Bring End to Elk Controversy Setting up several reasons why the bill of complaint filed by local Esk lodges against J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., was without foundation, Attorney Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes, representing Mr. Wilson, filed a motion for dismissal of the bill in District Supreme Court early this week. Mr. Wilson, with a rule issued against him to show cause why he should not be restrained from interfering with the Columbia and Morning Star lodges of this city in their preparation for the entertainment of the grand lodge convention, struck back through his lawyers. His answer to the original bill was accompanied by the motion and points and authorities in support of the motion. Included in the contentions on which his answer and motion are based is on that the removal of the grand lodge convention from Washington to another city is within his power. Counsel points to the admission of the plaintiffs that the grand exalted ruler may do this provided he has the consent of a majority of the members of the board of trustees. The motion points out that the The motion points out that the relief sought by the two lodges (Continued on page 13).

A reputed "numbers" establishment, at 1504 UNFAITHFUL HUBBY SUED BY WIFE Claims Spouse Left Her and Went to Live With "Other Girl" Declaring that their marriage had been threatening to go on the rocks ever since her husband, Thomas Goldsbay, a waiter on the Scaboard Air Line Railway, had begun showing a preference for other women, Mrs. Irma Goldsbay, 1328 W Street Northwest, filed suit for divorce last week. Mrs. Goldsbay's bill was filed through the law offices of Hayes and Howard and named Irene Williams, to whom she also refers as "Mrs. Thomas Goldsbay," as correspondent. The plaintiff sets up infidelity as the major charge against her husband and the co-defendant, stating Goldsbay deserted her on July 7, 1933 to take up residence with his paramour. Mrs. Goldsbay avers in her bill of complaint, that her husband moved first to a house in the 700 block of Gresham Place, Northwest. Rent Together Leaving that place, she declares, Goldsbey, then accompanied by the co-defendant moved to 3318 Sherman Avenue, and later to 3332 Sherman Avenue. At this latter house the bill further states, the couple rent as "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Goldsbey." Prior to the desertion, Mrs. Goldaby and her husband had separated by mutual consent. This agreement reached in November of 1932, however, was culminated by her husband's insistence that they return together. Important by him to reconcile, Mrs. Goldaby asserts she did, but after 1 month together the defendant returned to his old habits, staying away from home for long periods at a time and sometime all night. Goldaby is said to receive an approximate salary of $125 monthly as a railroad waiter. Six Demands Made to Commissioner Allen Are Rejected Over 450 transients employed at the District Woodyard voted to go on strike Thursday morning at a mass meeting Wednesday afternoon when the six demands of the group submitted to Commissioner Allen were refused.

However, they were skeptical of this as Murray stated that he was dismissed for his activities in organizing the men. Demands Refused Commissioner Allen told the committee that he would give further consideration to the matter of rainy day holidays and the reinstatement of Murray. He stated that the toilet facilities had been inspected by the Board of Health and found to be in a sanitary condition. All of the others were refused.

Second Marriage of Trevanion (Fat) Guy May End in Divorce WIFE CITES NUMEROUS ABUSES IN PAST YEAR Previous Story Changed as Wife Claims She Left Him in October Trevanion (Fat) Guy, for whom troubles have heaped one on another during the course of the past several months, found himself faced with still another late today (Thursday) as a deputy marshal served him with papers informing him of the suit for limited divorce brought against him by his pretty wife, Mrs. Edna (Peggy) Williston Guy, 1512 S Street, Northwest.

A long line of alleged cruelty dating back as far as April 25, 1933 when he set upon her in a fit of rage, at their Landover, Md. home, is listed in the bill of complaint against the Guy secon. Another, of these occurred on May 25, 1933, according to the petition, while Guy and his wife were parked in their car outside their Landover home. Again on July 1, 1933, her husband set upon her and beat her, Mrs. Guy further contends. Badly Beaten Each of these beatings, according to Mrs. Guy, were perpetrated with no trace of mercy, her husband bruising her about the face and body and causing her great pain. Mrs. Guy declares in her bill she left her husband on October 17, 1934, thus changing the previous story she had told after the arrest of her husband for destroying property in the home of her mother on November 18. On that occasion, Mrs. Guy explained that she had gone from their home at 1308 S Street, Northwest, to visit a brother who in turn was visiting her mother at the upper S Street residence; that Guy became enraged when she failed to return to the house at the time she was by him and came in search of her (Continued on page two) TEN MISSIONARY DRIVE NETS $700 SUM FOR BAPTISTS 35 Churches Raised Funds to Aid Body; New Secretary Talks The extensive drive for funds to aid missionaries in Africa ended at the Vermont Avenue.

Bearer (The Literary Service, Bureau) Text: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; I Samuel 20:22. This text is a part of the beautiful story of David and Jonathan. "Behold, the arrows are beyond thee" was spoken to the servant of Jonathan, but was intended for David who was an eager listener. It told him what was beyond him—the wreathe, the envey and the vengeance of Saul. Because it deals with the future it is considered suitable for a New Year's sermon. As there were many things beyond David, in the future, so, beyond us, in keeping of the New Year's many things await. Perils Are Everywhere Considering the New Year as a voyage, there are rocks, snails, icebergs, and temples. And it will require very skillful piloting to make the voyage in safety. Opportunities Are Beyond Us, Too No doubt we have allowed many opportunities to pass during the year now ending. But the new year will bring new ones. The axiom "Once to every man", is far from truth, Shakespeare's "Tide in the affairs of men" is grossly fabulous. The many opportunities have been wasted, many still are beyond in the new year, and we should utilize them. Conquests and Rulledship The kingship was beyond David. He was chosen by Johovah for these exalted duties. So, among other things beyond is the conquest of self, of evil propensities and the curse of selfishness. During the coming year, we must conquer these and become rulers of ourselves, or be con- quered and be slaves. Divine Help is available for all requirements. In all of his vicissitudes David could count on Help Divine. So can we in the year soon to be ushered in.

The insurance companies of the group are dedicated more than ever to conservative careful management Mr. Cox states and he expects the incoming year to show great strides in the amount of business done by Negro companies. —(ANP Photo) BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Vital Statistics QUIET PEACEFUL LOVELY Visit LINGOLN MEMORIAL CEMETERY A Delightful Drive Out Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast.

Because of the confusion and delay occasioned thereby, the meeting did not get under way until after nine o'clock and then many workers had been turned away because of the Father Divine crowd which cluttered up the streets. Upon the arrival of the leader of the cult, an ovation seldom witnessed in Harlem went up for the man who many believe is God. It was spontaneous and prolonged from both his Negro and white followers. BLOODHOUNDS CORNER GA YOUTH IN SWAMP ELLAVILLE, Ga.

Oliver, residents on the Fletcher plantation near Scott, of $375 in cash, Saturday night, police were informed Alienists Test Girl's Mentality; Find Young Wife Brilliant Girl Who Married Negro Youth is Daughter of Grand Rapids Banker, And Was Considered Child Prodigy CHICAGO (ANP)—A curious army of alienists gathered in the courtroom of County Judge Jarecki, Wednesday, agreed that Mrs. Jane Emery Newton, white wife of the Negro Communist, Herbert Newton, is not only sane, but brilliant. The former University of Michigan co-ed, adjudged a child prodigy in her youth, the daughter of a Grand Rapids banker and former national commander of the American Legion, came through the tests forced upon her for her social beliefs and her marriage to a colored man with her escutcheon unblemished. Grilled by the alienists, Mrs. Newton listened and replied to their questions with a quick reserve that disarmed them. Questions which she considered importment she declined to answer. Others, she answered fully, comprehensively and as they said, brilliantly. Her first step after she had trampled on the sanity test was to express her desire to get back to her child and her husband. One of the alienists, James Whitney Hall, questioned her as follows: Q.—Are you identified with any religion? A.—I haven't been since childhood, but I presume I still retain my early church affiliations. States Social Beliefs Q.—What are your social beliefs? A.—I think large sections of the population are not living as well as they should. I feel a readjustment of the social system is necessary so those not as sound and healthy as they might be should be made so. Q.—How long have you held this belief? A.—Since a small child, I have felt there is unreasonable suffering in the world. Q.—So you believe these conditions can be improved? A.—Yes. Q.—Have you participated in spreading your beliefs by addresses, or attending meetings, or by writing? A.—I have only attended meetings. Q.—Your husband is in what business? A.—He has not been in business recently. A question about her parents went unanswered. Q.—D₀ you believe your example would help the world if followed by everybody? A.—No. My life as it stands today is not a good example. I have tried, but I have made many mistakes. Q.—Have you tried to impress others with your beliefs by physical violence? A.—No. I would confine improvement to study. Q.—Do you wish to punish people who don't agree. A.—No. Q.—Do you think your ideas are original? A.—Certainly not, though some I have arrived at without so much knowledge as I have today. Q.—Do you think you are inspired? A.—No. Recognized by Lawyer Q.—Can you reconcile your present beliefs with your church membership? A.—I see no reason why not. Mrs. Newton was represented in court by Attorney Marvin Bas white. He it was who recognized her last week when she was about to be sent to jail by Judge Thomas Green in default of payment of a fine imposed for alleged violation of an eviction order from her home. Before Judge Jarecki, Mr. Bas stated: "I have known this girl many years. I was on the debating team with her at the University of Michigan. "Her father is a fine business man, thoroughly educated, has an honorable war record. Any one would be proud to associate with him. "My regard for this woman's intelligence and judgement I cannot minimize. She is extraordinary. She was a Grade A student." The eviction order, which he said was illegal, was described by Bas as the cause of Mrs. Newton's trouble. Eviction not Legal He pointed out that the Newton's were renting from people who already had been ordered out. The original eviction order he said, was aimed at these people. He added that their landlord had accepted the Newton's rent covering November 15 to December 15, consequently the eviction order was not legal. To reporters, after her discharge, Mrs. Newton said: "My thoughts now, of course are on my year-old baby. Herbert (her husband) also will be worried about the child, of course. It has been shifted around for a week, now, without the proper care." One of the white reporters hinted that the voluntary degradation (marriage to a Negro) into which the daughter of a splendid family had stepped might have had something to do with the charge of insanity. Mrs. Newton said: "I don't see that. And if it were so, neither the decision of a court nor the decision of public opinion is going to make me desert my husband and child." Although her father retained counsel for her, Mrs. Newton has not communicated with him. Over the telephone, Colonel Emery stated to one of the daily newspapers: Her Father's Statement "I have not thrown Jane overboard, but there are a lot of possibilities in her situation that make it impossible for me to act until I know more fully how matters stand. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 5, 1935 "One thing I want made clear, however, is that the feelings I have for Jane a_o pity and sympathy, not antagonism. I regret that g child who had the opportunities she had should have gone s₀ far afield. "I have done everything I could, in the expenditure of money and patience. It is very difficult to know what should be don_o next, and all I can do for the moment is to stand by." Even after passing the sanity test, Mrs. Newton's and her husband's troubles were not over. She faced a disorderly conduct charge in connection with moving her furniture back into her home after it had been placed on the street by hailflies. Further, she had the responsibility of trying to get her husband out of jail. He was arrested at the same time as she, but demanded a jury trial. While he was out on bond, he was reported to have gone back to his home and to have attempted to enter. Police seized him and threw him in jail again. Unable to furnish bond, he was kept in jail. Judge Green's Order Southsiders' interest has been aroused in the case particularly because of the attitude of Judge Thomas Green who first ordered the Newtons evicted. Lawyers contend that there was no legal right to put them out of their home and that in issuing such an order Judge Green bowed to the dictates of racial prejudice, violated the law himself and overstepped the bounds of his court. Judge Green was severely censured this past week by the State Supreme Court in connection with his actions in the Checker Cab Company case. The high court charged that he had over-stepped his authority in such a manner as to subject his court to ridicule STUDENT LEAGUE FLAYS COLLEGES DISCRIMINATION Maurice Gates, Local Boy. Among Delegates at Convention ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Th. National Student League met for four days in its annual session at the Young Men's Hebrew Association here last week. Among the many delegates from the various states was Maurice Gates, Washington youth who has completed a tour of the southern states where he had met with some success in setting up chapters. Flays Discrimination In one of the reports made by Joseph Cohen the executive secretary, stress was placed on the problem of discrimination against Negro students in schools and colleges in seventeen states including the District of Columbia. It was pointed out that several states spend five times as much on the education of the white child as they do on the Negro child. The league proposed to fight against such discrimination by having an inter-racial organization functioning at all times. Other important facts brought out at the conference were the refusal of Negro students to swimming privileges at New York University, it being said that the Women's Swimming Association (from which New York University rents the pool) does not permit colored and white to enjoy swimming together. At Oberlin, Ohio, Negro students were barred from the town bowling alleys. This was broken up by the students going in a body and the whites refused to play unless the colored played. Cities Ward's Case In the case of Willis Ward, Negro football star on the Michigan University team, when Georgia Tech refused to play, the student league protested strongly against such practice, and while it did not win yet much sentiment was aroused. Other objectives are to have Negro students in Harvard, Oberlin and Columbia dormitories and to set up a Phi Beta Kappa Society at Howard University. The National Student League is trying to stimulate and develop a keener feeling of anti-war and anti-fac-son and it is trying to stop the discrimination against Negro students in all parts of the country.

"How absurd it is for the government to be declaring that some gunman like Dillinger, or 'Pretty Boy' Floyd is public enemy number one!" writes Mr. Villard. "Public enemy number one is the law."

"I refuse" to live under the sword of Damocles all my life," continued Mr. Robeson, who through the versatility of his talents has achieved distinction scholastically, athletically, and artistically in both the American and European continents. Insisting that the opportunity for naturalness and self expression were all important, Robeson said further: him. "But my indy life does not matter he added.

Has Only Seven of 7,000 Persons on Relief Tom Walker, Business Man and Farmer, Credited With Preaching the Gospel of Saving and Industry to Town's Population Administrator Harry L. Hopkins received this week an unexpected bit of heartening New Year's news from Gloucester County, Virginia. Some good friend of the FERA chief connected with the State organization sent along an editorial entitled "Tom Walker," clipped from the Danville Register. where in the United States? Of a population of 7,000 Negroes in Gloucester County only seven are on the relief rolls. Ninety per cent of the Negro farmers own the land on which they farm. It may be a small farm, but it is their own From Tom Walker they have heard the gospel of saving and industry The proud State which has first claim to the Father of Our Country now takes unto itself new honors, because of a white-haired, public-spirited, colored leader who used to good effect his talents toward conserving and encouraging thrift and industry among his people. This colored man has succeeded so well that today this Virginia county where he resides has only seven people on the relief roll despite the fact the last census shows 7,000 as the Negro population. Walker Given Crdeit The editorial from the Danville Leader under the caption "Tom Walker follows: Walker Given Credit "One of the advantages of interracial conferences like that held at Reidsville on Friday in which the North Carolina and Virginia Commissions of Inter-Racial Co-operation discussed their common problems is that it gives members of the white race an opportunity to meet Negro leaders like Tom Walker, of Gloucester. An official advisor of the Virginia Emergency Relief Administration on the problems of Negro welfare, Thomas C. Walker has made a signal contribution to Negro-relief work in Virginia in general, but his particular contribution has been made in Gloucester County in many years of successful work. He must be getting along in years for his hair is as white as snow. But he is still young enough to fill every conference he attends with his own enthusiasm for the work he is doing and with admiration for hisquence and his life." "But my individual success in life does not matter in the least," he added. "My own father, my own brother, cannot go where I go. They cannot come in behind me. I do not want that sort of thing. "It is no use telling me that I am going to depend on the English, the French or the Russians. I must depend on myself." Speaking as "a Negro wandering through the world," Robeson speaking frankly and out of the evident fullness of his heart, bared the impression which comes to a black man even when he is the feted darling of whites, said. "For myself, I have never had a feeling that I am in any sense inferior. We know we are intelligent. We prove it every day. I don not see why we cannot place a higher evaluation upon ourselves. "I definitely believe that the future of the African is tied up with the peoples of the East, not with those of the West. ity, Va. Has Only Persons on Relief and Farmer, Credited With of Saving and Industry Population where in the United States? Of a population of 7,000 Negroes in Gloucester County only seven are on the relief rolls. Ninety per cent of the Negro farmers own the land on which they farm. It may be a small farm, but it is their own. From Tom Walker they have heard the gospel of saving and industry. This representative of the finest Negro stock of old Virginia has deprived himself of the lucrative income that would have been his as a gifted lawyer by his missionary work among his own people, for there is practically no crime at all among the Negroes of his county. No doubt he has been abundantly compensated materially by his success as a business man and a farmer. But his large compensation has been found in the spiritual life he has lived among his own people and as their counsel at the court of forbearance and fair dealing before which he can now plead. "Does it pay to educate the Negro? Has it paid the county of Gloucester and Virginia to educate Tom Walker? The business books of the county show whether it has paid by the standards of responsible citizenship. He has not only helped his own people up from poverty, but he has ameliorated the feeling that some white people have when they contemplate the execution of their trust to the Negro Race." FIRST CITIZEN DIES MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—Funeral services were held here last week for L. M. Martin, one of the best known citizens of the city. He was born in slavery in 1856. A pioneer farmer of northern Mississippi, he educated four of his sons to be doctors. One is J.B. Martin, local druggist and mother is W. S. Martin, founder of Collin Church Hospital. 3,000 D. C. School Children Get Lunches Under Relief Setup FERA Report Shows Thirteenth Division Leading With 1,419 Children; Mississippi State Has Appalling Total of 20,172 Pupils on List By EDGAR G. BROWN More than 290,000 school children in 45 states and the District of Columbia received free milk or free hot lunches including milk during the school year 1933-1934, the results of a survey made public by the FERA reveal. This total represents 7.5 per cent of the enrollment in the school systems from which these data were obtained. Three States—Alabama, Illinois, and Michigan—did not report. The survey clearly indicates, according to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief administrator, some of the real and permanent social benefits of the FERA program which have been made, despite the depression throughout the country, particularly in the Southern States. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration first gave official and financial support to this hot lunch and free milk project for needy and undernourished children in the States following its successful introduction in the District of Columbia by the relief officials. Mrs. Roosevelt, shortly after arriving at the White House in 1933, became the chief sponsor of this health and educational program for the capital city. 20.172 Children Fed Miss Mary A. Mason, advisor to the FERA on food requirements and a leading authority on home economics, has just received a report from Miss Ernestine Frazier, nutritionist director of Mississippi, showing 20,172 colored children out of a total of 45,367 who have received hot lunches and milk free during the past school year. In Houlka, Chickasaw County, Miss., which is typical, 206 Negro children out of 450 received a hot lunch and one pint of milk as the daily school schedule Pictures from the Egremont school in New Albany show a large class of healthy and happy colored boys and girls seated on long benches before the scrupulously clean community table with steaming plates of vegetables and a bottle of milk with a long straw, giving mute, but convincing proof of the old adage that not only is seeing believing, but tasting most enjoyable. 3.000 in Washington 3,000 in Washington Free lunches are provided in Washington junior and senior high and vocational schools to pupils authorized as eligible by the District Emergency Relief Administration, of which Miss M. Alice Hill is director. In the elementary schools, these lunches are supplied by a central kitchen under the supervision of Mrs. Katherine M. Ansley. The principals of the respective schools determine those pupils in need of free lunches. The following report of the District of Columbia schools from the office of First Assistant Superintendent Garnett C. Wilkerson shows there are over 3,000 colored children receiving these free lunches: Total, 10th Division.....847 Eleventh Division Banneker 55 Bates Road 18 Cleveland 44 Cleveland Annex (At Cardozo) 32 Cook, John F. 31 Crummell 111 Bouglass-Simmons 71 Jones 45 Logan 122 Morse 21 Mott 128 Catee Langston 92 Twinning 20 Earn a Profession Earn $50 to $75 Weekly AFTER LEARNING THE APEX SYSTEM of Scientific Reality Culture Others Are Doing It- So Can You YOUR course will depend upon your ability to make an independent bring on her or your opportunity, take immediate advantage of a ENTER CLASS NOW COST REASONABLE WILL BURN APPROX.

The prominent physician who fought for over 10 years to have local authorities and physicians of the North Jersey area establish a hospital, finally built a private institution to the community as a one of the best in the country. Dr. Kenney decielled offers for $70,000 for the hospital and gave it to the community in "the interest of harmony and solidarity." COLORED CHILDREN BOO NEGRO SANTA CLAUS RICHMOND, Va.—An example of steeping the minds of colored children in white tradition was forebly pointed out here Christeve, when more than 20 colored children, being entertained at a Christmas party in the Negro transient camp hooed and shouted their disapproval of a conventionally attired Santa Claus. This St. Nick had the regular white whiskers, but around the hair on his face shone the cony of his skin. The children in their protest, velled that Santa Claus was a white mas when more than 20 colored the colored counterpart. The party it was reported, was otherwise a success.

Heading the list was Ralph Metcalfe, the Chicago boy was graduated from Marquette University last spring and who returned to study law. He is given the distinction of being the world's greatest sprint star, eclipsing the glory achieved by bespectacled Eddie Tolan. Metcalfe has never been beaten in the National Collegiate meet in the springs and last year his records were officially accepted as typing the world records by the international federation. Tolan won both the 100 and 200 meter dashes at the 1934 Olympics. In that meet Metcalfe was tied by Tolan in the 100 meter dash. Other star colored trackmen who won international recognition or achieved new records were Jesse Owens, the Ohio State flash, who won the broad jump with a new mark of 25 feet 7.8 inches and Cornelius Johnson of Compton Junior College.

SPORT SCRIPTS Joe Louis and Number "13" Joe Louis and Number 13 Speculation is rife concerning the possibility of Joe Louis, sensational Detroit heavyweight, to continue his meteoric rise to fistic fame against the "13" jinx. When Louis climbs into the squared ring against Patsy Perroni, white Boston fighter, in the Olympic Stadium, Saturday night, in Detroit, the great fighter will be making his thirteenth professional start. The up and coming Detroit boy has been victorious in the previous twelve bouts and the question on the tongues of the entire nation is "Will the "13" jinx abruptly halt his clump to fame?" If the unlucky number jinx which has been a stumbling block in many athlete's rosy path holds no ill luck for the great Detroit boy another fighter will fall victim to the young "menace." While superstitious fans will anxiously await the outcome of the fight with crossed fingers, Louis will be battling with the same skill and confidence which has worked wonders for him in his other bouts for he holds no fear of the "13" jinx. In fact, the Detroit youth was born May 13, in Montgomery, Ala. He moved to Detroit at an early age and has lived there with his mother and sister for eight years. In the spring of 1934 Joe won the Michigan A.A.U. championship and the Golden Gloves title. From then on he was the man of the hour in amateur ranks until he turned professional and made his debut July 4 at Chicago. His record since that date is as follows: 1934—July 4, Chi, Jack Kracken, K.O. 1; July 11, Chi, Willie Davies, K.O. 2; July 27, Chi, Larry Udell, K.O. 2; Aug. 13, Chi, Jack Kranz, won 8; Aug. 27, Chi, Buck Everett, K.O. 2. Sept. 11, Det. Alex Boruchk, K.O. 4; Sept. 25, Chi, Adolph Wiater, Won 10; 25, Chi, Adolph Wiater, Won 10; 25, Chi, Art Sykes, K.O. 8; Oct. 31, Det., Jack O'Dowd, K.O. 2; Nov. 14, Chi, Stanley Poreda, K.O. 1; Nov. 30, Chi, Charles Massera, K.O. 3; Dec. 14, Chi, Lee Ramage, K.O. 3; Dec. 14, Chi., Lee Ramage, K.O. 8. With only a short but sensational record as this behind him, Louis will face Perroni a man with wins over such stars as Larry Johnson, Johnny Risko and who holds a no decision verdict over Max Rosenbloom. In 54 battles, from 1928 to 1983, Perroni has gained 17 K.O.'s; 30 wins; lost 3; had two draws; and two no decisions. Regardless, here is hoping that Louis successfully evades the jinx, that is if there is really is any jinx, and continues his climb up the ladder of pugilism until he finally wears the crown which now rests on the bulging brow of Max Baer. Matrimony is not a word. It's a sentence.—Eddie Cantor Joe Lewis' Meteoric Bombardment to Fistic Fame Causes Much Speculation Question Is "Will He Suffer Same Fate of Johnson or Gans?" CHICAGO, — In Monday morning's Chicago Tribune, French Lane, one of the newspaper's ace sports writers and commentators took up the subject of Joe "Baby Face Louis, the new Genghis Khan of the prizefight industry discussing Joe himself and his chances to reach the top flight of Fistiana against odds within and without the prizefight ring. We reproduce Mr. Lane's article in toto for the consideration of readers of our newspapers throughout the United States. "WHAT AWAITS LOUIS? RISE STIRS INTEREST" By French Lane Somewhere away back in the ancestry of Joe Louis, most talked about prize fighter in the country today, there must have been a cigar store Indian, with the edge of emotional display going not to young Chief Pop-E-on-the-Chin but to old Chief Raintinthe-Face. So far that stolid expression of Louis' has never changed, regardless of whether he is delivering or receiving a blow or whether the cheers or the jeers of a vast crowd are ringing in his ears. It isn't a blank sheet of paper—this expression on the high yellow contenance of Louis; rather is it one on which has been written one firm purpose, even though cruel measures may have to be resorted to before that purpose has been accomplished. How to Classify Him? That expression, revealing nothing, is all that most people know about the character behind the mighty blows which have caused the name of this young Negro to be on every man's tongue. What is to come? which category, will he falls—that of the notorious Jack Johnson or that of the gambling faker, the dead Joe Gans? These two were mighty black men of the prize ring, and once there was a future just as rosy ahead of them. Or Louis might fall into the footsteps of the great Negro heavyweight, Sam Langford, fun loving and carefree, who never could rise above the character of a shiftless lout. As yet Louis has made no mistake. In no instance has he carried himself in a way that would warrant adverse criticism. The people of his race, hungry to find and idolize another man who can lift their banner high, will say this is due to the fact that so far no white man nor his money has had a chance to spoil him. Own People Direct Him The fistic firm of which Louis is the "bar of gold" is strictly Negro. Men of his own race have directed him in his cometlike dash toward the heavyweight championship. Thus far he has indicated no desire to be advised by any person other than of his own color. There isn't much background in the Louis history. He sort of "just grown" down in Alabama. PHILLY SCENE OF BASEBALL MEET PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP)—The annual winter meeting of the Negro National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs will be held in this city on January 12 and it is indicated that many changes of clubs, individuals and policies impend. Officers will be elected and eastern club owners will probably make a drive for representation in the official family. It is known that W. Rollo Wilson, commissioner, can be returned to his berth if his present federal post permits and if he desires to retain his portfolio. Only two club owners are opposing him and both of them are disgruntled because decisions were made against them by Wilson in his official duties Schedule to Be Problem One of the big rows is coming up when the boys go into a schedule huddle. Eastern clubs almost lost their shirts when they made western trips last year and they will fight against more than one trip next season. Even when the Stars went to play three games of the play-off series the club lost over $300 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING JANUARY 5. 1935 THE BOXING CLUB as he prepares to meet his thirteenth pro opponent in the ring at Detroit, Saturday. Patsy Peroni, Boston pugilist, is the fighter whose face Joe's punches will be aimed at. About the time he learned to say "come you seven" and "eighter from Decatur" and "baby needs a new pair of shoes," he woke up one morning and found that his mother had taken him to Detroit to live. During those first few years in Deroit—well, Louis was just another colored kid—there were patches on the seat of his breeches, big yellow toes protruded out of the front end of his shoes; he was usually hungry, and could take care of himself very capably in street corner and alley fights. Roxborough Discovers Joe Along came John Roxborough, a Negro in his late thirties who has developed into quite a political figure, particularly among the Negroes, in Detroit. His letterheads show that he is in the insurance business, but some say the chief source of his income is from gambling and from Negro policy games. Roxborough's hobby is athletics. In building his political machine one of the moves he made was to establish and fit out a number of small gymnastics in which Negro archs of Detroit might engage in Harlem Nurses Quint Drops 24-12 Cage Engagement NEW YORK.—(ANP)—Before 500 the Atlantic City Legion Girls basketball team defeated the Harlem Hospital nurses, 24 to 12 in a hard fought and well played game at the Lido ballroom here Sunday night. Elizabeth Simms paced the visitors aided by stellar work on the part of Ethel Wood, Eunice Land and Syl Jones. In fact, the only game in Chicago which made money for anyone was the East-West classic and high pressure publicity by John Clark, Roy Sparrow and Dave, Hawkins, backed up by nationally known sports editors like Al Monroe, Rollo Wilson and Romeo Daugherty did that. Hail Pompez's Return The coming of Alejandro Pompez into baseball again will be a boom for the game in Manhattan and his occupancy of an enlarged Dyckman Oval will bring major baseball within twelve minutes of 185th Street and Lenox Avenue. Baltimore Black Sox, Newark Dodgers, Cleveland Red Sox are doubtful starters under present ownerships. Whether Tom Wilson will be allowed to continue his Nashville Elites as a road team and thus have the league commission as he did last year. The vexing problem of umpires will come up for solution and not be solved until it is possible for the league to pay salaries and expenses for traveling umpires. The money just is not there to do that as yet Rexborough Discovers Joe Along came John Roxborough, a Negro in his late thirties who has developed into quite a political figure, particularly among the Negroes, in Detroit. His letterheads show that he is in the insurance business, but some say the chief source of his income is from gambling and from Negro policy games. Roxborough's hobby is athletics. In building his political machine, one of the moves he made was to establish and fit out a number of small gymnasiums in which Negro uchins of Detroit might engage in DOWNIES TO OPEN M3-A CAGE PLAY Pennsylvanians Slated to Meet Princess Anne 5 on Saturday DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—With twelve days of Christmas holidays tucked under their belts, players of Downingtown Industrial School's boys' and girls' teams returned to school today (Thursday) to put on finishing touches for the opening of their M3A season, Saturday. Their opponents will be the shooters from Princess Anne, Md., Academy, tutored by the youthful T. H. Kiah, Jr., former Princess Anne and Morgan College luminary. Although in past seasons of the MSA's existence the Marylanders have failed to place a team among the championship contenders, they feel that in 1995 they will spring a few surprises. With more boys and girls enrolled than last year, they have better material from which to choose court teams. Both the Downie boys and girls have been tested but once, the former defeating the Rho Kappa Phil Skeeters of Philly, while the lasses humbled the Motley School of Music, also From Quaker Town. According to pre-season dope Bordentown is favored to land her third basketball championship in the boys' division. With her 1994 Champion Baer Declares He Won't Draw Color Line on Fighter all forms of indoor exercises and competitive games. It is in one of these gymnasiums he discovered Louis, a tall, fast growing kid, who within a short space of time had knocked out every Negro lad who chose him as an opponent in putting on the gloves. The outcome of it all was that Roxborough took out guardainship papers for the young boxer. This guardainship will end in eight months when Louis becomes 21 years of age. Wins Golden Gloves Title Instead of rushing Louis into professional boxing, Roxborough sent him into the amateur ranks. He wound up with a Golden Gloves championship in the tournament conducted by the Detroit Free Press. He came to Chicago and reached amateur boxing's peaks when he emerged from The Tribune's Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions with another title. A few months later—it was last July—came Louis's debut among the professionals. His meticulous bombardment to fame has followed. Promoters and matchmakers complain that Louis—as far as the welfare of his pocketbook is concerned—has made his dash to the top ranks in too big a hurry. They can show you that he could have dallied along among the third and fourth raters for another year and have earned some $25,000 or $30,000 in a dozen fights that would have been little more than push-overs for him. Leading heavyweights already are beginning to find one excuse after another that will keep them out of a match with Louis. So the promoters and match makers may be right when they say they can vision only three or four "shots" at big money for Louis unless the attitude of his white rivals is different from that toward such fellows as Wills, Langford, and even Johnson in his day. Perrone Agrees to Battle Patsy Perrone, of Cleveland, is one heavyweight who isn't convinced that Louis is such a man killer, for he agreed yesterday to fight Louis in Detroit on January 4. Then what else is in front of Louis? There, of course, will be a fight between Louis and Kingfish Levinsky. The Kingfish would fight the Broadway Limited if there was money enough in it. This bout, according to present plans, will not come up at least until April, since the fellows in charge of Louis believe he needs that much time to be ready for the hard petting fish peddler. Schmeling and Carnera more than likely will be willing to fight Louis. The Negro boy is a bit fortunate because the world's champion right now and for some time to come is Maxie Baer. The champion has no intentions of drawing the color line, he told friends in Chicago as late as yesterday, if, within a year or a year and a half, Louis bobs up as his most formidable challenger. "I will fight him and whip him," Baer said.

C. Alphas Score Thrilling 29-28 Victory Over N. Y. Kappas NEW YORK — The Washington Alphas turned back a determined Kappa thrust in the second half and defeated the New Yorkers, 29 to 28, Christmas night before a crowd of 2,000 at the Rockland Palace in one of the most exciting games ever witnessed in this city. A prodigious heave by Pinky Clarke, former Morgan College fuminary, covering over- three-fourths of the hardwood with 10 seconds left to play gave the Washingtonians the winning margin. Von Dickerson led the scorers with eleven points, scoring only once from the floor against Sewall in the second half. Windy Wallace, with 10 points, topped the Alphas' play. Alpha Ahead at Half The Alphas rolled in six points before Kappas got three via the foul route. At this stage the New Yorkers rarely had their hands on the ball. Kappa looked lost during this concerted spree, as everything that they threw up to the basket failed to find its mark. The teams resorted to close guarding and cautious tactics in the early minutes of play, but as they warmed to the task at hand, potshots rattled off the back board like buckshot. Sewall did the opportune scoring for the Washington lads, while Dickerson and Work kept the Harlemmites in the running as the half ended, 16-12, in the Alphas' favor. The tempo grew wilder and so did the play as the second half opened, but Baker and Battle took advantage of an Alpha let-down to bring the Kappas within two points of the lead with three minutes to play remaining. The boys were letting their el Kaapus Go In Van Kappas Go In Van bows fly with more abandon as play continued and Referee Dutch Housier was kept busy throughout enforcing the dietum of the rule book. Von Dickerson made good his free throw awarded for Wallace's infraction, while the former Iowa University sensation missed his lay-out. Blanch and Baker, the New Yorkers' floor-leader, then dropped a field goal in from the center of the floor to give the Kannas the lead for the first time. Thus the stage was set for Pinky Clarke's winning basket. With but seconds left to play the Alphas carefully protected their slim lead by applying ice to the call.

By DAN BURLEY CHICAGO.—Touchy As An Old Maid on the subject of her age, nevertheless, there is a certain attraction on the question of whether it would be better and more profitable for our truly good athletes to turn professional, which prompts me to pen these lines. Negroes participate in most of the major sports, but can make a living out of only about four, boxing, baseball, basketball and football. As little as it is known, a Negro can make more money quickly in boxing than in any other professional sport. Leave Boxing Out But for obvious reasons, we purposely leave the field of boxing out of the question. The reason: most amateurs look forward to the day when they can make their ability pay in cold, cash dollars. Amateurism is bathed in sentiment, its color being derived from the unselfish efforts of its stars on behalf of some indifferent institutions. The boys' noses are kept to the grindstone to keep ahead in their classes and they are kicked off the team without delay when they flunk. Sure, it's the rules, but what about the money their efforts turn into the school's coffers? What about the prestige they lend their Alma Mater? Not the Same Interest Some football players, such as Sol Butler, Fritz Pollard, Duke Slater, and Joe Lillard have developed a living income out of professionalism. Hundreds there are who have not and who eke out a precarious existent in a cubby-hole of an office still convinced that they are the doctor or lawyer the professor in college told them they would make. Recently Eddie Tolan, famous track star, got tired of being told of what he used to do without a single crumb of bread being offered with the flattery, and sailed for Australia to make his nimble legs put some coin in his pockets. In white sporting circles the cases of Babe Didrikson, Red Grange, Joe Savoldi and others are known to the sport following public. Track and basketball could be lucrative fields for born athletes if sentimental concern over the amateur code were ignored. Some Make Goo: Dentists Some fellows have it in them to make successful dentists, surgeons, scientists, mechanics and cooks. They go through college in great style in most cases, but thinl. of the poor lad whose whole soul is on the gridiron, baseball diamond or cinder path, reminds us of the ancient plots in stories where the dad tried to make a department store executive out of his poetic son. It would be a lot better, in these get-rich-quick days, if the field of sport were placed in the same light as military preparedness and the same premium placed on athletic efforts as the Japanese, Italian, German and Russian governments place on soldiery.

THIRTEEN FILE MOTION TO DISMISS SUIT (Continued from page 1) in connection with his interference with arrangements of the lodges in their preparation for the convention is not in order. Notice was given them in time and as a result of this notice the local orders took no steps with which he could interfere In opposing the claim of the lodges that Wilson is overstepping his bounds in setting up another lodge, attorneys for the grand exalted ruler state that the Constitution of the organization allows for the establishment of another lodge in the city of Washington. The Constitution, the points and authorities claims, states that there can be one lodge for every 50,000 inhabitants or fraction thereof in a city. There are 2 lodges now functioning in Washington where there are 130,000 Negroes. $ ^{a} $ Fleeing from No. One The charge that Wilson was contemplating suspension of the two lodges and the request that h. be restrained from doing so is referred to by Wilson's attorneys as "a splendid example of the wicked fleeing when no one pursueth." The defense counsel pointed to this as a premature act on the part of the plaintiffs. A host of other arguments are encouched in the defense document but those mentioned herein are chief among them. Wilson, meanwhile, awaits the hearing on the rule to show cause which was slated to be argued Wednesday but which was continued until January 10.

Before the end of the first broadcast, Columbia's switchboard was tied up by curious listeners who asked who they were, what instruments they played. Veteran musicians refused to believe that they could simulate such instruments as tuba, clarinet, saxophone and trombone with their voices. Yet only a guitar accompanied their singing. The brothers—John, 23; Herbert, 21; Harry, 20; and Donald, 19 (present ages)—made the fastest "click" in radio history, and went on to accomplish further leuches on stage and screen.

All of his numbers have been recorded by Whiteman for the Victor company. One of the most popular is a "Serenade to a Wealthy Widow." The piece is characterized by a light and swinging sort of syncopation. Forsythe's first trip to the United States came at the conclusion of an around-the-world tour he made as accompanist to Walter Richardson, the tenor.

JARVIS FOR THE BEST FUNERAL SERVICE Call North 3815 JARVIS Funeral Church 1432 U Street, N.W. International Labor Defense Lists 25 Lynchings: N.A.A.C.P. Records 16: Tuskegee Has One Less Threat of Federal Law Caused 43% Decline During Year NEW YORK.—There were sixteen authenticated lynchings in 1934, or twelve less than the twenty-eight recorded in 1933, a decline of 42.85 per cent. according to figures released Friday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. All of the victims were Negroes and only two were actually accused of rape. Four were accused of criminal assault, four accused of murder, and one each was lynched for associating with a white woman, mistaken identity, knocking down a white man, writing a note to a white girl, "talking disrespectfully" to a white man and stalking. Mississippi led with six Inchings; Louisiana, Florida and Alabama followed with two each and Kentucky, Texas, Georgia and Tennessee had one applce. Four of the victims were hanged, six were shot to death, two were beaten to death, one was shot and hanged, and one was stabbed, shot and hanged. Praises Gov. McAllister Lynchings were prevented at Angleton, Texas, and Hernando, Miss, in January; at Ft. Collins-Colo. in February; at Shreveport, La. in April, at Geneville, S. C. in Mav; at Thomasville, N. C. in November; and at Ellaville, Ga. and at Shelbyville, Penn. in December. The association praised Governor McAllister of Tennessee and Sheriff Tom Gant of Shelbyville. Penn. for their forthright action in preventing the lynching of E. K. Harris by calling out the militia and resisting the mob by gunfire. Eight white men were convicted for the lynching of Dick Wilkinson at Manchester, Penn. June 242. White Cites Reason the lynching record as compared with 1933 is better," declared Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. secretary "due primarily to the fact that the fear of federal legislation caused a complete cessation of lynching while the Costigan-Wagner bill was pending before Congress. Two lynchings occurred early in January and then lynching stopped until it was seen that Congress was going to adjourn without taking action on the bill. Then there was a great outburst. "TheClaude Neal lynchings was one of the most sadistic in the history of 5.068 lynchings since 1882, of which 45 have taken place since Roosevelt went into the White House. This year's record, and especially the cessation, proves conclusively not only that federal legislation is the only hone but that it can stop lynching. The formation of vigilantes at Shelbyville following the destruction of the $150,000 courthouse is understandable but it is the clearest revelation yet made of how complete is the lack of respect for the state and the present local government in communities where lynchings break forth." SUPREME COURT TO HEAR FAMOUS HERNDON CASE ATLANTA, Ga. — The famous case of Angelo Herndon was placed in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court when Chief Justice Richard B. Russell of the Georgia State Supreme Court last Thursday, allowed the appeal to the highest bench. Herndon, a leader of the Unemployment Council in Atlanta, was sentenced to serve 18 to 20 years on the chain-gang on a charge of "inciting to insurrection." The statute on which the sentence was based was passed in 1861 to crush slave uprisings. Herndon's arrest followed by a few days a meeting which he had called, to ask relief for Atlanta's unemployed. Herndon was released last fall from Fulton Tower Prison, where he had spent 26 months, when his $15,000 bail was raised by popular subscription. He $i was on a tour of the West Coast on behalf of the Scottsboro boys. The International Labor Defense attorneys, in the brief for Herndon, challenged the constitutionality of the 1861 statute.

Extensive Report Shows No Charges Were Made in Six Cases NEW YORK. — There were twenty-five lynchings recorded in 1934, according to a compilation made by the International Labor Defense, and released today. All the victims were Negroes. This figure of recorded lynchings compared with 49 for 1933 two not recorded until January 1934), and 37 in 1932. The figures, the I.L.D. stressed in making the record public, are not claimed to be inclusive of all lynchings which occurred during 1934, but only of those which were recorded in the press, with the addition of two about which no news report was ever published. Information of these was obtained by the International Labor Defense through private sources. Record Incomplete An indication of the incompleteness of the record is afforded in the fact that information about several of these lynchings was only published in the press weeks and months after their occurrence. The I.L.D. record shows that Mississippi heads the list, with eight lynchings, followed by Louisiana with four, Georghin and Florida with three each, Alabama with two, and Kentucky, New York, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee with one each. In fifteen of the lynchings, implication of police or sheriff's officers was shown. In seven cases the victims were turned over to the lynchers by officers in whose charge they were, in six police or officers participated directly, in one the officers were conveniently out of town and left the jail unguarded, and in one case the authorities categorically refused to investigate the lynching. Officers Aided In sixteen cases of lynchings recorded, no "mob" was formed, but the lynchings were carried out by small groups of individuals, or by small, carefully organized gangs, often with county officers at their heads. Addition to this list of the number of Negroes murdered by individuals imbued with the lynchspirit, or by wanton police, confident that no punishment would ever follow their act, would bring it up into the hundreds, the I.L.D. said. This method of terrorizing Negroes for the purpose of keeping them in economic subjection—the purpose behind all lynchings—has become more and more common all over the country, to a certain extent taking the place of spectacular mob lynchings. Mob Consists of Three In the present complication, no murder was counted a lynching unless three or more persons, more or less organized for the purpose, participated. The sporting of a police or sheriff's badge by a member or leader of the lynch gang or mob sufficient to make the occurrence however, was not considered as ineligible for the lynch list. Other organizations which purport to keep and publish records of lynchings, the L.L.D., said, strike off the list any lynching in which they can ascertain police or other state officers participated. Charges Vary In six out of the 25 cases, no charge against the victim was made or could be ascertained. In only three cases was a charge of "assault on a white woman" made. In two of these it was not made until after the lynching. In three other cases "attempted assault on white women" was used as a charge. Other "charges" included "striking a white man," associating with a white woman friend, "not dipping his mule according to law," writing a letter to a young white girl, stealing turpentine—lynching came after aquital in this case—and murder. Theft Suspect Bound Over to Grand Jury Clarence Jackson, 22, 100 block of Massachusetts Avenue. Northwest, was held for the grand jury under $5,000 bond in Police Court. early this week, on charges of armed robbery and purse snatching. TRY THREE WHITES FOR MURDER GREENWOOD, S.C.

Mississippi Leads States With Six Crimes Out of Total According to the records compiled in the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute and released Friday there were 15 persons lynched in 1934. This is 13 less than the number 28 for 1933; 7 more than the number 8 for 1932; 2 more than the number 13 for 1931; and 6 less than the number 21 for 1930. Eight of the persons lynched were in the hands of the law; 3 were taken from jails and 5 from officers of the law outside of jails. 47 Saved From Mob There were 51 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Seven of these were in Northern and Western states and 44 in Southern states. In 466 of the instances the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In the other five instances, armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers. A total of 74 persons, 14 white men; 57 Negro men and three Negro woes. were saved from death at the hands of mobs. Of the 15 persons lynched, all were Negroes. The offences charged were: attempted rape, four; rape, two; murder two; wounding man in altercation; one; associating with white women, one; striking man, one; writing insulting letter, one; talking disrespectfully, one; insulting women, one; implicating others in a charge of stealing turpentine and bootlegging it, one. Mississippi Leads The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, one; Florida, two; Georgia, one; Kentucky, one; Louisiana, two; Mississippi, six; Tennessee, one; and Texas, one. PEGGY WILLISTON SEEKS DIVORCE (Continued from page 1) Failing to find her, the husband went through the home of his mother-in-law wrecking furniture, fixtures and articles of value as he came across them. Changes Story This story, however, is not borne out, by her statement in the divorce action. Mrs. Guy claims that on the occasion mentioned above her husband had come to her mother's home determined to compel her to return to him. Guy had charges of threats against him dismissed in Police Court recently. He was held, however, in bond of $500 for a grand jury hearing on a charge of destroying private property, the outgrowth of his rampage at the home of Mrs. E. D. Williston, his wife's mother. He is now living with his uncle, Attorney Zeph P Moore. At present he is employed as a waiter at the Cotton Club, prominent U Street cabaret. ALL SCOTTSBORO PAPERS NOW BEFORE SUPREME COURT With the filing of an answer by the State of Alabama to the appeal of Haywood Patterson, all papers in the Scottsboro case were in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Brief for Norris has already been filed, and likewise the answering brief in the Norris case has been filed by Knight, who claims that "Negroes are not barred from Alabama juries because of their race!" DISTRICT HEALTH COORDINATOR TO ADDRESS MEETING Ross Garrett to Be Speaker at Garnet-Patterson School Monday The Citizens Joint Conference of Civic, Welfare, and Educational Groups, through its chairman, Dr. Ionia R. Whipner, announces a mass meeting at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School on Monday, January 7, at 8 o'clock. The Joint Conference was formed at the invitation of the Federation of Civic Associations, and it is represented on the important District Columbia Health and Hospital Council by Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds for the District; George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations; Perry W. Howard, and the Rev. William H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The principal speaker will be Ross Garrett, coordinator of the District of Columbia Health, and Hospital Council, whose bold release of October 27, on the question of selection of a new local health officer, states: "The Health Officer to be chosen must not excuse the disgraceful number of tuberculosis cases in Washington by waving his hand toward the high percentage of colored population. * * * We must have a health officer who will not explain away facts but who will eliminate these facts." Other speakers will be Dr. Thompkins, and Attorney Howard. If the citizens generally demonstrate their lively interest in their health conservation rights, Garret Garret, the coordinator of the Health and Hospital Council, and and Thompkins, who has championed these rights so vigorously, will undoubtedly be spurred on to increased effort in this direction. There will be a brief musical feature, also. TRANSFUSIONS FAIL TO SAVE SMITH BABY TRANSFUSIONS FAIL TO SAVE SMITH BABY Three Months Old Son of Clifford Smith Dies at Hospital In spite of two blood transfusions given by James Roberts and Aubrey Allen, sophomore students at Howard Medical School, the three months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Smith died Sunday at Children's Hospital where it had been a patient for nearly a week. The baby succumbed after a determined fight by physicians and hospital attendants to save the child's life. Failing to rally after two transfusions, the baby died in the arms of its mother, Mrs. Smith is the daughter of F. Morris Murray, business manager of the Washington Tribune After the blood of 15 relatives and friends had been tested and found to be of no value for necessary transfusions, Mr. Smith appealed to the Howard Medical School for assistance. The two students, Roberts and Allen, responded and were immediately accepted. Their efforts, however, were futile. Funeral services for the child were held Monday from the Mequire Funeral Home, the Rev. R. W. Brooks officiating. Burial was held in Alexandria, Va. WHITES IDENTIFIED AS ROBBERS LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

Police testified that Marshall had been seen lifting goods from the counter of a store farther upwown earlier in the day and had been shadowed to the place where he was finally placed under arrest. They told the court the boy had given them 15 years as his age upon being arrested and had later changed it to 19. Marshall, when arraigned, pleaded guilty. DRIVER OF DEATH AUTOMOBILE HELD (Continued from page 1) Street. He stated that another man who alighted from the trolley at about the same time of Chichester had remained on the platform awaiting the passing of traffic. He further averred the car had resumed its journey in an easterly direction when he ran upon the man. Conflicting Versions His story was corroborated by Miss Grace Hill Jacobs, a teacher at the Coppin Normal School, Baltimore, who lives at 431 Twenty-third Place, Northeast. She stated that she watched Chichester as he left the loading platform and ran diagonally across the intersection. The testimony of three other witnesses, however, tested the veracity of the statements of these two, W. N. Ridgely, white, motorman of the street car, living at 4313 Sigley Avenue, Southeast, Stephen Queen, 615 Fifty-seventh Street, Northeast, and George Goins, 617 Nineteenth Street, Northeast, all testified that Chichester was proceeding toward the south curb of Bennings Road. They declared the street car was not in motion and that the victim was not traveling diagonally across the street. Instead, they held, Chichester was in a position such as would have been protected by cross-walks had there been any at this point. Motorman Eye Witness Goins asserted he was standing in front of a store located at the southeast corner of the intersection. He declared he was looking directly at Chichester when he left the platform. Gains stated the man was traveling in a straight path to the south curb and that the automobile struck him at the westward point of the street intersection. Charles E. Hall, white policeman attached to the Ninth Precinct, testified that indications pointed to verification of the story of these three witnesses. Detective, Sergeant William J. Liverman offered as evidence only the statement he, as investigating officer of the headquarters homicide squad, got from Norris. H. U.

PROFESSOR NAMED IN DIVORC explain why he steadfastly refuses to ever provide his wife with money that she might purchase clothes for herself, Mrs. Sumner states that the professor, instead of making an allowance for her clothes he attempted to buy thing for her. In so doing, Mrs. Sumner averted her husband invariably bought clothes that were not in keepin with his station in life or his in come. The petition bears a trace of a wall as it testifies for the wife the life with the high-salaried university professor "has never been happy." As early as the first vea of their wedded life, Mrs. Sumner declares, she was compelled to ignore the advice of her physician and leave her sick bed to cool meals for Mr. Sumner. Beat Her After 2 Years Two years after he had taken the vow, the complainant continues, he went into a fit of rage and struck her, severely hurting her. Then began a series of mistreatments among which were numerous verbal attacks, her mate often abusing and cursing her without provocation. Frequently, she says, he would leave her without saying where he was going and would go to stay with his people, sometimes remaining away for lengthy periods. In February of 1934, Mrs. Summer avers, the professor became enraged for no obvious reason and threatened to kill her. She states he ran up balances and got a loaded revolver, and she fearing for her life ran out of the house. Later, she says he told her if she did not leave; him he would kill her. Wanted to Call Quits Mrs. Sumner further declares that in June of the past summer she found a letter he had left for her telling her that their marriage had been "a regrettable mistake," and asking for an agreement to separate. She refused $t_0$ do this. He left the city on the nineteenth of that month, remaining away until October when he was compelled to return for his scholastic duties. During that time, Mrs. Sumner asserts, her husband sent her only $150 for the upkeep of the home at 1120 Fairmont Street. Believing she had been deserted, Mrs. Sumner moved $t_0$ the home of her parents and has been there since that time. Mrs. Sumner declares her husband receives a salary of $4,000 per year minus small fraction cuts, owns a Buick automobile, cash and other securities the extent of which she is unaware. The National Association of Colored Teachers was organized in 1904. The Island of Haiti was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492.

They Deserve a Right to Live More than 450 transient men and boys here voted to go on strike Thurs- day morning following the refusal of Commissioner Allen to eomply with their six demands. These boys (most of them in their teens), feel like outcasts who ave being treated more like animals than human heings. Their demands are simple and entirely reasonable. All they ask is a right to live like other humans and to he given the same consideration. Clean living and working conditions and a de- cent amount to live on seem to be the main objectives of the group. It was a sad, forlorn and dejected as- sembly that gethered here and voiced their disapproval of things.

America is in a sad plight indeed when hundreds of boys are refused the inherited right to live as humans. Ir their present condition this group is easy prey for radicals and those whe would take advantage of their youth te influence them to a life of crime. It is of as much value to this country to heed the cry of its forgotten youth as it is to offer platitudes to its forgot ten men. Every opponent of the Soldiers’ Bonus are men with well paying jobs and assured incomes who would not know what to do with an extra few hun- dred dollars if they had them. ——— Dr. John A. Kenney Big men do big things—and John A. Kenney has been a big man for a long time. It was this same sincere John A. Kenney who made such a ruckus in a Southern city, that it was deemed. best that he leave that place because he be- lieved in a principle, and believed in is race. He left under protest. He was influenced by friends to do so, This same man was responsible to a great extent to the clinics that are held at Meharry Hospital every year, where the greatest authorities in the medical field have lectured. He was one of the pioneers in the fight for a Negro personnel at the Vet- erans’ Hospital at Tuskegee, and it was ‘this same John A. Kenney who so ably edited the “Journal of the National Medical Association” for a number of years. It was during his editorial re- gime that he encouraged the young medics of the race to a greater faith in themselves. Now to cap an outstanding career he has given to the city of Newark, N. J., a hospital that he built with his own money, and which today is valued at $93,,000. He declined $70,000 for the hospital, preferring to give it to the community as a gift.

The Negro beyond any other element of our cosmopolitan population relies implicitiy upon postponed happinesy Nc! even thy namatic Jew wandering in the wililernes: expenienced or expressed a keener yearning for the Pro- mised Land beyond, ‘The Christian doctrine of a future life fits well into the ontimixm of his soul, It is always betier further on. This world is but the low ground of sorrow to pre- pare the way for the fairer world on hich His weakness and submistivences of will makes him the only genuine christiax in chris- tondom. DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE L.TREATED LIGHTLY Unadle gr unwiling to combat the diffical- ted and #lasitanies of this life, he looks for- ward Yesignedly to the compensating glories of the life to conie. “You may have all the world, but give me Jesus” is not merely the ex- pression of his lyrical longings but aptly ex- presses the passivity of his soul, I used to sing from the old hymna! as a boy in South Carolina: “And if my soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous law approve it, well; Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against dispaiv.” y Anglo-Saxon christians have eliminated this submissive plaint from their hymnology. Only the Negro can continue to sing it. This pas- sive reliance on religion may" indeed be his only means of salvation in a world which is actuated by the survival of the fitness to a folk conscious or unconscious of their unfit- ness. The inability to combat may be com- pensated for by the capacity to submit, I do not, therefore, in this deliverance, praise or condemn this attitude. NEW DEAL FURNISHES BUT A FAINT GLEAM _ The country has just passed through, or is ‘now passing through, four years of deep de- pression. The New Deal furnished but a faint gleam of the way out. The Negro has been #0 far suppressed beneath the heavy load un- der which the nation labored that even now he can scarcely discern that beam in the dark- ness of kis lot. Certainly in modern times no group of people have been set back to the de- gree and extent that the American Negro has experienced during the past four years, His boasted accumulations have been :blown like ashes from his hands. He has lost a great part of his land holdings, which constituted his only genuine claim to the accumulation of wealth. His occupation in the industries is placed in serious jeopardy. He lives from hand to mouth on the bread of charity, CHURCHES HAVE Lost FUNCTION AND FLAVOR His churches to a lamentable degree, have lost much of their old time function and flavor. Only his schools are left in full function; and these are wholly under support and control of the white lord of creation, The outlook he- fore the race would indeed be desperate but for that reliance on faith which enables bim to endure as secing those things which to dull- er vision are invisible, By this unfailing faith he realizes a foretaste of the things hoped for. In the midst of destitution, there is neither despondency nor despair. Like Job, the Negro though deprived of his former possessions and ambitions ean hold up his head and proclaim: “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” I have seen thousands of Negroes on the verge of destitution and want, but not one without hope ior better days, The dance halls are full. The play houses are crowded; the places of amuse- ment are overflowing, albeit, half of the race are on public relief. ‘The unemployed are buoyant and happy— nothing can take from the Negro the priceless boon of enjoying himself even though the heavens be in the act of falling. He refuses to take actualities too seriously. The dismal statistics of the social workers do not phase him, EQUIPOISE NEVER THROWN OUT OF BALANCE _ The gloomy prognostications of sociological experts donot disturb or disrupt his eqaipoise, He lets the dead past bury the dead, and fears no future, however gloomy. He enjoys the day and lets yesterday be among the bygones, and tomorrow lie beyend the kin of his concern. Here are greetings to the Negro for the New Year. I will neither philosophize nor prophecy, but would rather rely upon that never failing optimism, which under any con- ceivable string of foriune, his buoyant. soul Will translate 1935 into a happy New Year. Not daring to look around, fearing to look within, he simply looks up. —_o—___.. A Sonnet to the Materialist By J, G. St. Clair Drake (Por A.N.P.)

Long's asscrtion that “he had swal- lowed his words” when he denied saying that Louisiana State University “is about to be in- cluded in the first twetve universities of the country.” “More than half of the country’s great uni- versities ave in the middle West and far West,” Mr. Embree said. “This came about through John D. Rockefeller’s building the University of Chicago and maintaining it as a standard for educational institutions. The great South has no such school. If there were ‘one, the competition would probably transform ‘the intellectual history of that section as it has the middie west.” Mr. Embree said that he believed Harvard should head any list of leading institutions, and that in his opinion the others would in- clude Columbia, the University of Chicago, Yale, the University of Galifornia, the Univer- sity of Minnesota, Cornell, the University of Michigan.

In the act of permitting the lyneh- ang the community has committed itself, has become compromised, and rust exonerate ihe individuals in self-defense. The second proposition is: THAT THERE IS NO ADEQUATE SUBSTITUTE FOR LOCAL CIVILIZATION. In a country. whose government is organized like ours, loca! units of government will have far more to do ‘vith the life and happiness of its citizens than will the Fee ira a tes tate haat } national administration, | But this southerner found it ne- cessury also to agree that a na. tionel Iaw against lynching is ou ‘next most lezical step,—as a corol lary to the iuadamental truth of that first proposition. Although the froth of tha: second proposition makes the enforcement of national law difficutt in eases where 1seal sentiment is opposed to the en- forcement, stili the record of ou: urpunished lynchings and the plair impotence of small local minorities which are opposed to the crime all logically and loudly for actior on the part of our sovere'gn unit of government, the government that is least responsive to local and isolated prejudices, As Contrasted With Kidnaping At the very least a national law could be counted upon to strength- en and encourage local sentiment and to give prestige and more pow- er to ite present helpless minori- ties that are actively opposed ts lynching. ‘Those who say “Leave it to the south!” are not logical, for they give voice to a pleasant theory of government which is not sup- ported by the history and the fact: of fifty years. The south, as well as South Africa and the south-ses istands, can be helped by outside influence—and this south is no’ foreign to the rest of the Unites States. Lynching is as much a na tional crime as is kidnaping, an¢ has a much worse record. On the other hand, those who favor na tional anti-lynching legislation aré also illogical if they expect nation al law to be omnipotent locally anc one hundred per cent effective They cite the effectiveness of th pursuit, prosecution and punish ment of kidnapers; but local senti. ment is entirely agreeable to, and even co-operative with, the federa attack on kidnapers. The kidnap: er, as a lone wolf or as a member of a small gang, antagonizes the local community; while the lynch- er, a5 a member of a great mob which had nearly everybody's re- latives or friends in it, compro. mises the local community and paralyzes local law. Even a na tional law, which must be admin ‘istered largely through local agen cies, would be handicapped, though ‘in lesser degree, Would Courts Convict? For example, the kidnap-lynch- ing of Claude Neal in Alabama and Florida undoubtedly makes the lynchers subject to the awful pen- alties of the Lindbergh law; and although many of us believe that the federal investigators and prose- eutors should proceed against the malefactors, even if for no. bette: reason than the defense of the law, still those of us who are in ow right minds know that the nationa’ government would find almost in. ‘superable difficulty in convietin faIy, accused pecan, before lore judges and jurors. Even distrie federal courts are subject to loca influence. Without dictatorshiy there is no appeal from the dect sion of the local jury, and the fed eral government seems to have n¢ authority to try the accused out side of his state or district, o otherwise than by a jury “of hi: peers,” which in a lynching ease States.

" By exhausting ever; source under present laws, we would perhaps find the need for ¢ more definite law. In cases wher the mob does not act across a state line, procedure under present law seems ulterly hopeless, and the need of a special federal law Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Dear Mary: I picked up a little paper when I was coming out of the theatre the other night and read an editorial in which the writer stated that the close of the old year and the com- ‘ing of the new year reminded him of the songs, “I'll be giad when you're dead, you raseal you,” and “Happy days are here again.” You're wrong, young man. The new year—like the old—is just 365 days. That is all: Whether they're happy or not depends, not on the year itself, but on you. You don’: have to wait for January 1 to be- gin a New Year. Any time you de- finitely make up your mind that you're tired of things as they are and that you're determined to im- prove them, you can begin your new year right then and there, ne mater what the date, The New Year is simply a frech piece of clay which is put into your hands for you to see what you can do with it. It is shaped by your actions—refined by your thoughts, and colored by your character and mode of living. It is your work— and your image. You have no assurance that the next 265 days will be any happier than the last 395, unless you've decided to do $01 aS it The world is full of beople sil calmly snd wait from New Year to New Year for the einen descend from heaven upon ; ‘and when things don’t turn oui that way, they blame the world *ust Reckon With Local Sentiment Perhaps even in the interstate cases the Lindbergh law is too ter rible to be effective,—not more drastic than lynchers deserve, but too drastic to win the support of local sentiment. We have agreed that there is no effective subst! tute for local civilization in the enforcement of law, especially un- der the American system. There must be a law that will divide the loca! people and win over at least a part of them. All law is com- promise anyway. The Contigan- Wagner anti-lynching bill has many of the elements which woull give southern sentiment a chance to work in its behalf. That is in- dicated also by the demands from the south for such legislation, Tam writing on the road and without having a copy of the bill before me, but one problem which the proposed bill seems to ignore ‘is the problem of INVESTIC A. TION in lynching cases, Who is going to aveupesie lynching and present the evidence to the distrie: federal grand juries in order to se- cure indictments? Juries do not investigate for themselves. They sit and wait. The internal reve- nue and the treasury departments and even the postal service have their own investigators who bring cases to the grand juries, In the case of kidnaping, the department of justice has special investiga- tors. We cannot trust the depart- ment of justice without specific law to investigate lynching cases,— and it seems to me that we cannot trust the department of the pres- ent administration to take vigor- ous action under any circum- stances. No private agency can do it; private agencies can only expose and protest, It is a task that demands government investi- gators, with government authority. ‘That should be provided for in this bill, or by further legislation, Penalize Officials Since there is no substitute for local civilization, the most effec- tive parts of such a law will be those which tend to encourage, persuade and coerce local authori- ties; namely, reasonable penalties to be assessed against local officials responsible for the peace of the community, and the officers ac- countable for the safety of prison- ers and accused persons. A’l pre- sumptions of guilt should lie a- gainst them when a lynching oc- curs. Some penalties should be automatic;—such as the removal from office of the officers who were in immediate charge of the prison- er and immediately responsible for order. If these removals are sub- Ject to review by courts, the bur- den of proof should be on those making the appeal; they should be required to show that neither by commission nor omission were they guilty of encouraging, aiding or abetting the action of the mob. Such measures would put local au- thorities out of sympathy with mobs, Penalties against mob members should be carefully graded; least severe against those who partici- pate only by their presence, more severe against those who aid and abet, and most severe against those who actually do the murder It is well known that every by- stander is a psychological partici- pant in mob-action, It would be easier to convict the leac > and active murderers. The great ma- Jority of lynchings could have been prevented by the local officers, if they had more at stake in pre- venting than in permitting the crime. A” national law against lynching should aim to make it worth their while, the flesh and the devil—but never themselves. We human beings are too prone to blame the thing at hand for whatever comes our way, rather than admit that we migh have had a hand in making our- selves. miserable, The thing thai really matters js not, “What did the Otd Year do x me?” but “What did I give or with hold in the Old Year that migh have been of use?” Think it over! a ee Poem: If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted nad penned in an inglor- ious spot, While around us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our ac- cused loo, If we must die— oh, let us nobe- ly die, So that our precious blood may be shed. .

The possibilities for the promotion to a well-paying career for Negroes who arg neither politically conscious or mizitant are excellent in the Custodian service (laborer, charwoman, and messenger) so long as they “stay in their places” and be “uncle toms”; 4. In the Federal service it is not so much what you know or how well you know it that counts—it is rather who you know and how well you know them; 3 i See 5. There are no longer “Negro jobs” in the Federal service Conse upon a time Negroes had a monopoly on the laboring force, elevato conductor force, and messenger force.) Those days are gone forever. Of the approximately 100,000 people taken on the Federal payroll (since March 4, 1934), (in some capacity or other) less than 3 per cent were Negroes. They are in the Federal Service, like in commercial and domestic service, the last ones hired, and the first ones fired and the ieast paid. It is small wonder, then, that of the 93,200 people on re- lief in Washington (according to a recent article in FORTUNE maga- zine), almost 75 per cnt are Negroes (68,000 Negroes.) I use the Washington CWA as an example of the way Negroes are discriminated against in certain of the Emergency Unit employment offices, When the Washington CWA took applications for white collar work in the Negro section, there were about 4,500 white applicants and & little over 2,600 Negroes; of these, 2,000 white men got jobs, and 115 blacks. You will note that it was for work in the Negra section. You can imagine how siany Negro white collar workers received work in the white sections, This writer may be wrong but he thinks that the blame is almost entirely the Negro’s. He is suspicious of liberal whites and jealous of his own group who attempt to lead him. A result is that day by day the average of Negro Federal employees is growing smaller while the government personnel is growing by leaps and bounds. The employees Who are “in” are entirely too complacent. Although there is little doubt in this writer's mind that the two Federal employee organizations, the American Federation of Govern ment Employees which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and the National Federaton of Federal Employees which is the older but less potent organization are interested in Negroes in the Federal service as members only to increase their numerical member- | ship and to collect their dues yet there are so few paid up active Ne- goes in both of the groups that I would like to see at least a couple $f thousand new members come in, be active for at least a year and force the issue.

In the American Federation of Government Employees, of which E.

He has writ- ten this writer telling him that Interdepartmental Lodge No. 20, A-F.- GE's largest jim-crow lodge, of which this writer was a member (I was also a member of Edward Scotts jim-erow Lodge No. 71, of the N-F-F.E.) was organized because its)founders, J. W. Charleston, Fred Slade, and George Rycraw, all of the Commerce Department, wanted it s0. Mr. Rycraw wrote this writer saying that this is not true and un- earthed the minutes of the organization meeting to prove his contention, Being assured by Mr, Babcock, at the time, that he personally had no Prejudice against union minded Negro federa! employees and that this attitude would he reflecced in his official actions, this writer consented +9 let the matter drop. Later, however, wken Mr. Rycraw who succeeded Mr, Charleston a5 President of Interdepartmental Lodge No. 20, wrote a speech raising the question of Negro segregation in the Federal service for: use over the A.F.G.E, radio period, President Babcock and some of his advisors offered subtle objections.” Rycraw, whose side of the argument was taken by the intelligent. liberal and progressive thinking Secretary. Treasurer of the A.F.G.E., Miss Esther Penn, was permitted to mace his speech. He was literally deluged with telephone calls and mes. sages of congra‘ulations. Mr. Rycraw has not been asked since to par ticipate on the A.F.G-E. radio programs. Came the national convention in New York last September of the A.F.G.E. The various delegates bogan to offer their prearranged 23-point legislative program (which wil be published here in its entirety next week) when suddenly, a liberal bloc led by George Rycraw of Interdepartmental No. 20, and Henry Rhine and John Donovan of NRA through shrewd parliamentary ma- huevering against the active and vocal opposition of V. Paul Carnes, of the Lavor Departmont lodge; Yaden of Civil Service, and one of the delegates from Florida got through resolutions endorsing picketing gnd mass demonstrations and full and unconditional equal rights for Negroes in the union organization. Picketing and massed demonstra. tion under the banner cf “grievance committees” were formally pro- hibited in constitutional amendments, while racial equality was endors- ed. The aftermath came when the NRA group recently sent to all af. fliated bodies, among other things, a minority report on the action of the convention in prohibiting picketing and urged all of these affiliated bodies to support its program aga:nst discrimination of colored persons im the union organization. President Babcock immediately wrote them & letter charging therm among other things with “disloyalty” and threatened to revoke the organization's charter. The NRA group re- plied charging arbitrary rulings, autocratic leadership and demanding a bill of particulars. Meanwhile many of the lodges including No. 20 senounced Babcock’s threatened action.

Federal |=) N Notes < HAYES by~ \AURENC Vivian Turner Gives Week's Social Resume By Vivian Turner Welcome to 1935. With high hopes and well made resolutions we enter the new year. May it bring joy, peace and happiness to everyone. The city has been quite alive for the past week, the social calendar being brimful of colorful and pleasurable activities. The Bachelors started the hall to rolling. Then followed the very pretty dance of the Arachue Club on last Wednesday evening at Masonic Temple. As one entered the hall the beauty of its Christmas decoration was hardly conceivable and the spirit of the occasion was quite evident from the happy and joyous faces and the laughter and gayey presented by the guests. Following upon this happy party came the dance of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority. Each dame seemed in competition with the other one for beauty in decorations. However a fitting climax for the week was the marvelous get-to-gather of the Appomattox Club on Friday evening. Speaking of novel and beautiful decorations, we are hardly able to describe them. In the center of the hall stood an imitation of a massive trunk decorated in Christmas lights and holly wreaths. Encircling the whole hall were strings of holly and evergreen intermingled with lights of various colors. In four conspicuous spots in the hall were hung large parachutes. At an appointed hour the strings of the parachutes were broken and hundreds of balloons fell upon the guests who scrambled for them. The balloons were filled with confetti and when bursted, the confetti fell in showers upon the guests. Horns and all kinds of favors added to the night's revelry. After the dance, Thomas's Grill was the popular rendezvous for a bite to eat before retiring. On the same evening the Omegas were hosts to a large bunch at the Lincoln Colonnade. The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity had its gala social event ending in their wonderful conclave held here during the week in the form of beautiful dawn dance at Masonic Temple. Following upon this came the most enjoyable and pretty matinee dance given by the Tetra Sigmas on New Year's day. Many out-of-town persons enroute home from the Kappa meeting in New York were present. The club members are Lydia B. Chew, Inez Collins, Sadie Daniel, Gertrude Dodson, Edna B. Gary, Juanita P. Howard, Edith Lyons, Hope Lyons, Lillian Nash, Esther P. Shaw, Obziene M, Walker and Jennie P. Wilder. Miss Olga Ferguson of Boston, Mass., was the house guest of Mrs. Marie Schanks. Miss Ferguson is the chief worker at St. Mark's Social Center in Boston. During her stay here, she was extended many courtesies. On Sunday evening Mrs. Schanks was at home to a large number of friends in honor of Miss Ferguson. Mrs. Mary Jackson of Atlantic City, N. J., spent the holidays in the city with her husband. Harry Jackson of 1722 Second Street, Northwest. Mrs. Justine Green of 1708 Second Street, Northwest, enjoyed the arrival of the New Year in New York City. Miss Inez Ward, popular teacher in Gary, Indiana, Miss Ruby Ransom, Dr. Rosece Singleton and Arthur Turnbull, all of Chicago, Ill., passed through the city on route home from the A.K.A. meeting and Kappa Conclave in New York City. They were guests of Joe Birch on a very interesting sight-seeing tour during their short stay here. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ellis are now cozily domiciled in their new home, 2605 Wade Road, Southeast. Mrs. Louise Washington of Merchantville, N. J., was the guest of Mrs. E. A. Holmes of 1612 Ninth Street. Northwest, during the holidays. Rajah Rama, Hindu philosopher and adviser of New York City spent Christmas day in the city visiting friends. Miss Julia Golns spent the week in the city attending the sessions of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Dr. and Mrs. Henry Greene of 1725 T Street.

WEEK ENDING JANUARY 5. 1935 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Memorial to President Franklin D. Roosevelt VETS REMEMBEED DURING HOLIDAYS BY LEGION POST The killing and burning alive of human beings by mobs in the United States is a reproach upon our nation throughout the civilized world. The recent shameless abduction of a prisoner, and transportation across the State line from Alabama to Florida to be lynched, with the crime advertised throughout the nation twelve hours in advance, is a notorious example of the complete breakdown of the machinery of justice which has grown out of the lynching evil. Since 1882, 5,062 human beings have been lynched in the United States, with less than a dozen convictions; in each of these cases only nominal prison terms were given the lynchers. Tribune Aids in Making 12,500 Children Happy for Xmas Two hundred and fifty veterans at Walter Reed Hospital and 150 at M. Alto Hospital were given cigarettes and cigars on Christmas Day by the Christmas Cheer Committee of the James E. Walker Post No. 26 of the American Legion, Joseph H. Hawkins, chairman of the committee, reported at the meeting of the post at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A., last week. During 1934 the total of lynchings has already reached the alarming number of 18. While the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynch Bill was pending in the Congress there was a complete cessation of lynching for a period of six months but since June, when Congress adjourned without voting on the Costigan-Wagner bill. 16 mob murders have taken place. We, the uendersigned, urge respectfully that you as President of the United States in your opening address to the Congress place the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynch Bill on your "must" program. Only unequivocal action by yourself as the leader of American opinion can overcome the objections even to a vote on the measure by a small group in the Senate who prevented a vote during the last session of Congress. In behalf of the good name of America we respectfully urge immediate action upon the convening of Congress to the end that the Federal Government may give aid, as it has in the case of kidnapping, to the State in stamping out this notorious American crime. Other members of the committee were: Post Commander Louis H. Russell. Haydee Patterson. Junior Vice Commander, and Sergeant John Sweetney.

FOOD EXPERT Relief Clients Learn Proper Food Value Through Cooking Classes By BERNARD BRAXTON The District emergency relief organization has taught hundreds of housewives on relief to learn." Mrs. Ansley said, "is how to select and prepare nourishing food for inexpensive meals. She generally spends too much on meat, and not enough on vegetables, fruit, cereals and milk." Cooking classes have been organized among the women clients of each of the nine relief stations. These classes meet from time to time, and are well attended. They are held under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Ansley, white, local relief dietitian, and supervisor of the District relief's free lunches for needy school children. Too Much Meat Eaten Too Much Meat Eaten "The most important thing for a housewife to select and prepare using enough milk to meet mini-meals. She generally spends too much on meat, and not enough on vegetables, fruit, cereals and milk." Many families on relief are not usingenough milk to meet minimum health requirements. The children in these families are often sadly undernourished. Mrs. Ansley said: Milk Important "This is a problem that calls for plenty of educational work. Many people simply do not know the great importance of milk in the family food budget. Every child should have at least a pint of milk every day. "Milk is an essential food for every member of the family. It is the best building food for muscles, bone and teeth. Normal growth cannot develop very well without milk, because no other single food can compare with it in certain food values." Mrs. Ansley's work is carried on in close co-operation with case workers. The case worker makes out a budget for each family, and talks over the food problems with the housewife. Practical Demonstrations Practical demonstrations are made before each cooking class. A competent dietitian plays the role of an efficient housewife. The class sees her at the market selecting the proper food. Then the class see her in the kitchen preparing and cooking the food for a nourishing and enjoyable meal. When it is cooked and properly placed on a table before the class, each person eats a sample of it. In a family with children, Mrs. Ansley said, each dollar for food should be carefully spent in this manner: One-third or more (about 35c) for milk and cheese; not more than one-fourth (25 to 20c); for vegetables and fruit; and about one-seventh (15c) for bread, flour, and cereals; the rest, about one-seventh (15c) for fats, sugars, and accessories. Meat Buying Mrs. Anselby believes the following suggestions should prove helpful in selecting and preparing food for nourishing and tasty meals that can be provided at a low cost: When every penny counts, the less expensive cuts of meat must be used. Buy cuts from the forequarter rather than the hindquarter. Steaks and chops are generally too expensive. Liver, especially pig's liver, is inexpensive and a valuable meat because it is rich in iron and other important food values. Day old bread is more healthful for children, and it may be bought at a lower price than fresh bread. Whole Grain Cereals Best Ready-to-eat cereals are more expensive and should be used only occasionally. Use whole grain cereals such as oatmeal, wheatena, farina, and cornmeal. They contain mineral salts and important vitamins as well as starch. Cheese may be used in place of meat. Cheese is less expensive and richer than meat in certain important food values. Food is not always inexpensive when cheap in price. It may be poor in quality and too much of it wasted. Fresh Vegetables Fresh vegetables should be firm and not wilted-looking, and each should have its proper color. Green lettuce has more food value than white lettuce; young carrots are richer than older ones. Fresh vegetables should be thoroughly washed and cooked in the smallest amount of water, or cooked by steaming if possible. Vegetables should be cooked in their skin to retain all their valuable minerals they should be cooked only until tender—not over-cooked. The vegetable cooking water should be used in soups so none of the minerals will be lost. The smaller the vegetables are cut, the greater is the loss of food value in cooking. Soda should not be used in cooking them as it also destroys food value. Menus Listed Canned tomatoes should be used several times a week. Tomatoes and oranges are important for keeping your teeth sound. Raw vegetables such as chopped or shredded cabbage, grated or chopped carrots, thinly sliced or chop- Dry fruit may often be used to replace fresh fruit. Dry fruits have a high food value. They are rich in iron, contain natural sugar, and are very beneficial to health. The housewife on relief who has learned how to make her food dollars do good work can serve her family meals of this type, with slig changes if the husband is doing manual labor: Breakfast Fruit (sometimes) Hot cereal, with milk or molasses Toast Eggs (sometimes) Milk or cocoa for children Coffee for adults Lunch Hot dish such as potatoes, vegetable or soup Bread or sandwiches Milk for children Dinner Meat or fish, beans, rice, or macaroni Potatoes Vegetables (cooked or raw) Bread Dessert Milk for children. AED CASE GOES TO COURT FRIDAY AED CASE GOES TO COURT FRIDAY White Grocer Who Shot Boy Faces Demurrer of Suing Counsel A demurrer to the answer filed by counsel for George Aed, white gracer store proprietor sued for $10,000 in connection with the death of William Green, 1845 Ninth Street, Northwest, will be argued in the District Supreme Court Friday. Aed's lawyers, in their answer to the bill for damages, admitted that the lad was killed by a revolver belonging to their client, but denied that it was wanton or malicious. They pleaded accident. Green was shot to death as he stood in the store at the corner of Ninth and S Streets, Northwest, in the company of Aed and two companions of the former. The lad's mother instigated the proceedings shortly after his funeral. She is represented by the law firm of Lewis, Beaubian and Lawson.

Walker barricaded himself in a smokehouse before the mob, led by Sheriff Courson, could get to him. After that bullets, tear gas and dynamite were used to try to force Walker out. But he held his ground and shot the sheriff in the mean time. Finally, the smokehouse was set on fire from the rear Walker ran out, shooting as he ran, and kept on until he was brought down by the guns of the mobbists.
