Little Robert Crawley Forced into Trying Role at Death Quiz
Given the unwelcome job of holding in his hands at the tender age of eight a butcher knife, that only a few hours before had been plunged into the heart of a man, little Robert Crawley, 312 Broad Alley, Southwest, nevertheless faced an inquisitive coroner's jury and recited—unwavering—his part as eyewitness to a murder at an inquest yesterday (Wednesday) morning.
The lad, forced by circumstances to fill on successive days roles distasteful even to adults, gave as flawless a version as did any of the string of more than a dozen witnesses ca. to testify for the government against Dorothy Jackson, 469 School Street, Southwest, who was bound over for the grand jury charged with the stabbing of Alfred Taylor during a free-for-all last Sunday night.
Child Outwardly Unmoved
Little Crawley had been called on, only the day before the inquest, to view the body of Taylor as it lay on a slab in the cold, clammy death-room of the morgue. He was one of those who identified the victim. When Coroner A. Magruder McDonald handed the child the knife which had been offered as evidence by Dective Sergeant Waler S. Beck, it was his second morbid experience. Though obviously conscious of it, the lad gave vent to no emotional impulse.
He told how during a party at his house a large number of people, totalling between 15 and 20 became engaged in a brawl, the beginning of which he attributed to an argument between Harvey Wyatt, 489 School Street, and Willie Cammack, 339 G Street, Southwest. The argument was reported to have been over the Jackson woman.
Argue Over Girl
Wyatt it seems had been upstairs with the girl and when he came down Cammack complained in no uncertain terms. The pair became engaged in a fight and before long friends of the two had joined in. Taylor was stabbed during the melee by the Jackson woman herself, she admitting to police that she committed the crime and asserting that he had attacked her. Wounded, Taylor ran from the house. Police of the Fourth Prescinct found him lying on the sidewalk of nearby G Street in an unconscious condition. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Casualty Hospital.
Other witnesses who testified in corroboration of the story told by the youthful Crawley were: John Glassco, Harvey Wyatt, Willie Cammack, Laura Briscoe, Geneva Briscoe, Mamie Glassco, Sterling Silver Jackson and several others. Hospital physicians, police and a deputy coroner were also called as witnesses.

Congressman Mitchell Flays Baltimore Paper
Attacking the practices of a Baltimore newspaper, Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell in a speech before the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity, Monday, called the publication as "big a liar as can be found in the country." "Lying newspapers don't live long," he continued. Regardless of its stories, he went further, "I will not allow any hotheads whether they be individuals or newspapers to sway me from the course I intend to sleep." I expect to be cursed but I can curse back. If you are doing right, you don't have to, be afraid, because wrong has never won and never will."

Former Industrial Cashier Admits Taking Money From Safety Box
Arraigned before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Monday night, Walter L. Carter, 30 years old and former cashier of the Industrial Savings Bank, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of grand larceny in connection with a reputed $9,100 shortage from a safety deposit box of the ba k. Carter was immediately ordered held for the action of the grand jury in bond of $2,500. J. Walter Stewart, bondsman, obtained his release.

Northwest, having been prominent in the business field in Washington for many years.
According to Jesse H. Mitchell, president of the bank, the shortage was discovered Friday. Carter appeared before the directors of the institution on Monday morning and confessed to having taken the money. Officers of the bank then notified the comptroller of the currency and followed this with the procurement of a warrant for Carter's arrest.

H. U. Prof. Retaliates; Calls Wife Mean; Says She is Psychopathic
Mrs. LUCILLE.TAYLOR HILL, whose death last Monday in New Orleans, La., where she was making her home, was a shock to members of the younger social set of Washington. Mrs. Hill, former student at Howard University and once the wife of Leonard S. Hill, of this city, died following a comparatively brief illness. She was 25 years of age.
The deceased was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Junius L. Taylor, of Richmond, and the sister of Junius and Frances (Frankie) Taylor, the latter of this city. Funeral services were held last Thursday in Richmond, Va., native home of the family.
H. U. Prof. Calls Wife She is Psy Francis H. Sumner Declares He Tried to Readjust Life to Fit Mate's SAYS HE BECAME A HEN-PECKED HUSBAND
Denies Ungoverned Temper Charged to Him by Wife; Says She Fought Him
FRANCIS H. SUMNER—14 pt. —
Himself pictured as a cruel, unreasonable character possessed of a vile, ungoverned temper, Professor Francis H. Sumner, psychologist of the Howard University faculty, retaliated against his accusing wife with various charges of meanness and irrationality, in his answer to her bill for limited divorce which he filed through Attorneys Howard and Hayes, late last week.
The answer was filed a few days before Justice Jesse C. Adkins awarded Mrs. Frances Sumner, 1116 Fairmont Street, Northwest, $70 monthly alimony
The professor, pointing an accus
ing finger at his mate of 13 years, unleashed a withering attack of allegations. Chief among these was his declaration that his biggest domestic problem had been how to readjust himself to what he terms her "psychopathic nature."
Was "Hen-pecked"
He has been so conscientious in that effort, Professor Sumner avers, that he has on numerous occasions reduced himself to the role of harlequin and 'hen-pecked' husband. It was when he became tired of occupying this unholy position the defendant asserts, that his wife seized upon the opportunity to interpret these rebellions against the "underdog" role as cruelties.
The illness of which Mrs. Sumner complained in her original bill—during which her husband allagedly compelled her to cook his meals despite her failing health—is diagnosed by Mr. Sumner as "purely neurotic." His intuitions are that the nervous ailments from which she was then suffering have developed into more serious proportions.
Calls Wife Psychopathic
Mr. Sumner gives four reasons why he believes his wife to be (Continued on page 3)
A. MITCHELL INTRODUCES ANTI-LYNCH MEASURE
Proof that Person is Injured by Mob is Prima Facie Evidence
An anti-lynching bill "with teeth" was introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, (Democrat) of Illinois. Tuesday.
This was the first measure introduced by the new member and is easy to have met favor by many lawyers of the House and Senate.
One of the outstanding features of the bill is that when "proof that any person being in the custody of any such officer, agent or employee was unlawfully injured or put to death or unlawfully taken from such custody and injured or put to death shall be prima facie evidence that such officer, agent or employee suffered or permitted such person to be taken from his custody or injured or put to death therein."
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The complete text follows:
To assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching.
(a) Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That if any officer, agent or employee of any State or governmental subdivision thereof shall have any person in his custody by virtue of his power of authority as such officer, agent or employee and shall, without lawful justification or excuse, suffer or permit such person to be taken from his custody and injured or put to death or to be unlawfully injured or put to death while in his custody, the said State shall be deemed to have denied to the said (Continued on page 2)

HOUSEWIVES PACK ANNUAL TRIBUNE COOKING SCHOOL
Guest Speaker From Spice Company to Feature Tuesday's Class
Responding to an urge to learn the art of making different and better dishes for loved ones and themselves, hundreds of housewives crowded the Murray Casino last Friday and Tuesday nights for the fourth annual cooking school, sponsored by the Washington Tribune with the cooperation of 20 local merchants.
The school, now in its second week, will be continued every Friday and Tuesday until February L the last night of the yearly event, when the grand prizes will be awarded the holders of the lucky tickets. The grand prizes include one of the latest model Estates Gas ranges from the Washington Gas Light Company, latest model easy chair from the National Furniture Company, and a 1935 radio from the F. S. Harris Radio Company.
Regular Attenders Profit
Women who attend every session of the school have a better chance of winning the grand prizes as well as the nightly awards as each night the tickets are deposited in the grand prize box, giving each holder a chance at the final drawing February 1. Thus, any person with six tickets in the grand prize box, naturally, has a better chance than a person with only one ticket in the box. Besides the many prizes offered attendants are offered an opportunity to hear Mrs. Zimmer of the Wilkins Rogers Milling Company give interesting demonstrations of modern baking methods.

One Held by Police on Investigation Count; Other at Large

Parallel Case Seen Here in Sentencing 2 White Youths
Local Attorney Forced Judge Fay Bentley to Reverse Herself After Sending Colored Boys to Institution
The sentencing of two youngsters, Billy Fanning and Arthur Penn, white, to six-years terms in the National Training School for Boys brought a storm of protests against Judge Fay L. Bentley of the Juvenile Court. Washington dailies carried news items in each edition; noted radio commentators spoke of the case; and members of the Federal Congress started proceeding for an official investigation.
A search of the records of the Juvenile Court reveals that on June 26, 1934, Judge Bentley rendered a similar decision in which four Negro youths were involved. The facts of the two cases are the same; said facts being as follows:
and they were not advised by the Court of the Constitutional rights to counsel. (The same was done in the case of the white youths.)
On being found guilty, the four Negro youths were committed to the National Training School for Boys until 21 years of age. As their ages were 15, 16, and 17 years, their sentences amounted to 5 and 6 years. (This is true in the case of the white youths.)
After the boys were committed to the National Training School an attorney was obtained by their parents and appeared in Court in their behalf, and filed a motion to set aside the sentence and vacate the judgment of the court; just as was done in behalf of the
Four Negro youths were arrested and charged with stealing an automobile. (In the case of the week two white youths were arrested and charged with the same offence.)
The Negro youths were arraigned and two entered a plea of guilty and two pleas of not guilty when asked if they stole the automobile. (In the case of the white youths they pleaded guilty on arraignment.)

The invitation read as follows: "The President and Mrs. Roosevelt request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Mitchell at a reception to be held at the White House, Thursday, January 31 at 9 P.M." Inclosed with the invitation was a card of admission for the Representative and his wife. All indications are that Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell will attend the White House reception.
To Fight Crime
Mr. Mitchell in an exclusive interview with a Tribune reporter stated that he has secured the cooperation of several governors of states in which colored people live in large numbers in an attempt to stamp out crime.
He has already received pledges from the governors of North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Delaware, (Continued from page 2)

The Negro youths involved were Arthur Burl Waker, Harrison Reginald Kennison, Lloyd Franklin and Robert Henderson
Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte appeared in behalf of the youths and argued the motion upon which the Negro youths were released; causing Judge Bentley to reverse herself.
The case of the white boys took the same course as did that of the colored boys, and will come to an end on January 30 when the boys will be given a new trial.

dress on juvenile delinquency,
“The prevention of delinquency
lies in the complete cooperation
of the home, school, and | the
church,” the judge declared “and
of these three the school is. the
strongest foree. Untike the school
the church does not touch the lives
of every child.”
Most criminal careers begin 2:

nounced, quoting Statistics to show
that 59’ per cent had become in.

before the juvenile court before the
age of fifteen.
“In a recent study made in New
York it was discovered that if a
group of 500 young offenders, 81
per cent began as truants from

Though truancy is not in itself a
serious offense, the speaker declar-
ed, it may lead to’ things much

Labor Leader Declares
Relief Dole Breaks
Morale, Respect
The Emblem Club of the Twelfth
Street Branch, Y.M.C.A, held its
monthly dinner meeting, Friday.
The 30 Opersons present were en-
tertained with vocal and instru-
mental musi. ‘The speaker of the
evening was Lieutenant Lawrence
A. Osley, formerdy the director of
welfare work in North, Carolina,
nations! president Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity and now serving as
Commiss‘oner_ on Coneiliation with
the United States Labor Depart-
ment,
Lieutenant Oxley spoke on the
subject “General Problems of the
Negro.” He stated the Negro to-
day faces a more serious condition
than ever since the days of slavery.
In 33 states he had visited the evi-
dence of this fact is unquestionable,
Usually urbanites are deceived re-
lative to actual status of the group
because in large cities there are
groupings of apparent success. Of
the twelve milion Negroes, he said,
only three million are in the North.
There are 6,500,000 in the rural
south and 2,500,000 in southern in-
dustrial centers, In view of this,
only in the degree that the oppress-
ed people of the South share in the
benefits of this civilization can
there be a general improvement in
the Negro status.
Dole System Used
In many cities the general ru‘e is
that Negroes are handed a dole—
the white man is given a job,
Lieutenant Oxley continued, Relief
doles break morale, destroy self-
respect and independence. So seri-
ous has the condition become the
Labor Department has initiated a
program to sensitize the Negro to
the seriousness of his condition and
the possibility the Negro has with-
in his own grasp to solve his
problems.
This can be accomplished through
nte‘ligent appreciation of current
issues and united effort to defend
his privileges, Such a progra-s
has made considerable progress in
Mlinois, Indiana, West Virginia and
Missouri. Licutenant Oxley stated
further there states are worthy of
study and emulation.

Is Expert in Work
Mrs. Pinkett is a specialist in nursery school work. After she graduated from Cornell University, she obtained a B. S. degree in home economics at Howard University. She also has been connected with two nursery schools, one in Washington, the other in New York City. At the ERA nursery schools, Mrs. Pinkett and a well trained staff have obtained excellent results in the work with the children and their parents. Those who have children in the schools are given practical instruction in diet and child training, and advice on any problems affecting the welfare of their children.
"The educational work with the children's parents is one of the important parts of the nursery school program," Mrs. Pinkett said today. "We are keeping a very close relationship between the child's home and school."
Form Child Study Group The children's parents, she stated, are encouraged to visit the schools to observe their children and learn the successful methods of guidance used by the teachers. Parents have formed a child-study group at each school. They meet from time to time, with an expert in nursery school work to instruct them. Each school has a head teacher, a nurse-teacher, a dietitian-teacher and a house keeper. The staff of each school has had several weeks' supplementary training at the National Child Research Center.
Health is Stressed
The schools pay particular attention to the children's health.

Health and Health Habits Stressed by Teachers
Every morning each child is given a medical inspection before he is allowed to mingle with the other children. If a child shows any symptoms of oncoming illness, the nurse has him sent home or to the children's clinic.
The children's health has improved since they have been living in the pleasant atmosphere of the nursery school's. They have gained weight and appetite; they are happier and more easily controlled.
They are served breakfast when they come to school in the morning, a hot lunch at noon, sandwiches and fruit juice in the afternoon. They are in school from nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon.
Proper Habits Developed
Each school has 25 children, all of whom were selected from families on relief. They are from two to four years old. In an informal manner the teachers help them to develop proper habits of eating, playing, sleeping, personal hygiene and self-reliance.
To the great delight of the children, the schools have a large number of attractive toys. There are hobby horses, kiddie cars, wagons, slides, rubber balls, dolls, blocks, telephones, drums, bells, etc. Many of these toys were secured through the cooperative efforts of the children's parents. They were purchased with the money parents raised by giving entertainments.

Gee Gee James, young musical comedy actress, has been signed by the National Broadcasting Company to play the part of "Minonette" on the Gibson Family Program which originates from the main studios in Radio City every Saturday night at 9:30 o'clock. The program is a "one hour" commercial sponsored by the Proctor-Gamble Company on Ivory soap.
Miss James is a native of Phelidalphia—a comely young lady of twenty-two summers, who began her stage career in 1927 as a chorus girl. However, her work as a chorine did not last long. With an aggressive eye toward the bigger things of the theatre, she quickly graduated into the ranks of a featured entertainer, and has held the "spot" in fine fashion in many deluxe theatre presentations as a soubrette.

Frank Capra's newest picture, "Broadway Bill," with Warner Baxter, Myrna Loy and Clarence Muse will be the attraction at the Republic Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. Capra directed "It Happened One Night" and "Broadway Bill" is equally as good.
It is the story of a race-horse trainer who is tied down in a small town $t_0$ a box-manufacturing business. He finally breaks away and returns to the race-track with his only horse, Broadway Bill. His wife refuses to accompany him, but his sister-in-law (Myrna Loy) does. How he wins the big race of the year with Broadway Bill and the dramatic climax of this race is one of the year's greatest thrills.
Warner Baxter in the role of the main character is great. Clarence Muse as the assistant trainer gives one of his best performances. Myrna Loy is her usual self—gradually winning her way to the top in each picture she makes. But most of all it is the direction of Frank Capra that makes "Broadway Bill," the outstanding hit that it is.
The breath-taking combination of Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery acting together in the same film for the first time makes "Forsaking "All Others" the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer special which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for one week beginning Friday, one of the hit productions of the year.
Joan Crawford has to choose between Gable and Montgomery in this picture. No matter who wins beautiful Joan you're going to have the time of your life during every exciting moment. Joan is left at the altar by Montgomery when he marries another, but still continues to love him.
Gable loves Joan. We won't poil the story for you by explaining who is the lucky and who is the unlucky male in the end. Charles Butterworth and Billie Burke complete the perfect cast.

A powerful human drama "Our Daily Bread" with Karen Morley and Tom Keene will be shown at the Booker T. for one week only beginning Friday. The story concerns an average young city couple, down on their luck, who take a new lease on life and love when they find themselves translated to a farm, and surround themselves with a group of disinherited folks, like themselves.

from all walks of life. Expecting to find peace and happiness close to nature, they are surprised to encounter emotional conflicts more stirring than any that confronted them in the whirling vortex of the city. Their love is threatened by a beautiful, unscrupulous blonde who enters the picture and causes an upheaval in in the lives of the sweet, devoted little wife and all those around her. "Our Daily Bread" was directed by King Vidor.
Beginning Friday, the Howard continues its parade of major attractions, presenting for the first time two $ \mathrm{tw} $ band leaders on the same bill, Tiny Bradshaw, that dynamic personality and his orchestra and Baron Lee, the aristocrat of melody. These two band leaders come as a surprise for Washington admirers of both. They are seen directing the same orchestra. The long awaited question will be answered. Which type do you prefer, the "clown prince of jazz" or the "aristocrat of melody?" The supporting stage show features, Troy Brown, Madeline Belt, Conway and Parks, Doris Rheubottom, Al Moore and Isabelle, and Lewellyn and her 16 dancing girls. This promises to be one of the best shows of the season.
The screen features little Jackie Cooper in "Peck's Bad Boy," a real touching drama that will reach the hearts of everyone. Should a step mother treat a child as if it were her own? This step mother and a father he loved had failed him. See what happens to Jackie Coon-

BEAVERS PICTURE SHATTERS MARKS AT LINCOLN
"Imitation of Life" Sets Attendance Record for U St. House
All previous attendance records broken, the Lincoln Theatre enjoyed one of the most successful weeks in the past several years, according to Rufus G. Byars, general supervisor of the A. E. Lightman Amusement Enterprises, during the seven-day just closed. The picture, "Imitation of Life," elapsed any mark set by leading photoplayssince early in the history of the house.
"Imitation of Life" presented two colored girls, Fredi Washington and Louise Beavers, in leading roles. Opposite them was Claudette Colbert, co-star of the prize winning picture of 1934, "It Happened One Night," in which she appeared with Clark Gable.
On Way to All-time Mark
Mr. Byars told the Tribune, Wednesday night, that until the arrival of the bad weather, "Imitation of Life" was well on its way to an all-time record. However, Mr. Byars intimated, the crowds were not stopped. A very good attendance was kept up despite the unfavorable climatic conditions. Mae West pictures, the most recent of which is "Belle of the Nineties," have stood in a class by themselves for maintaining an average, the Tribune was tod, until "Imitation of Life." Incidentally, Miss Beavers, whose performance in the picture is one of its most widely discussed features, has invariably occupied the maid's roles in the Mae West pictures calling for such a character

ania! imesting’ Gh TMU NAHIGAAL Aaeaciation of Nowra: Wesalnne Chita:
The meeting got under way with
Commissioner Rollo W. Wilson, of
Philadelphia holding “down ‘the
‘chair. Representatives from nine
cities were present at the roll cal!,
they being Philadelphia Stars, Ed
Bolden and Ed Gottlieb; Chicago
American Giants, H, G. Hall; Pitts-
burgh Crawfords, W. A. Greenlee;
Newark Dodgers, Charles H, Tyler;
Homestead Grays, Rufus Jackson:
Brooklyn Eag'es, Ben Taylor and
Abe Manley; Nashville Elite
Giants, H. G. Hall and the New
York Cubans, Alex Pompez.
Admit New York Cubans
Most important of all legislation
at this meeting wes the admission
of Alex Pompez's New York Cubans
to the league. After a determined
fight, the league voted without one
dissenting vote, to admit Pompex
into the organization.
Promply, he ou!‘ined his plans
for the coming season, declaring
himself ready to spend $30,000 to
make New York baseball conscious
as far as Negro baseball is con-
cerned. Already he has had engi-
neers and architects looking over
Dyekman Oval. just ten minutes by
subway from Harlem, with an eye
to improving the spot, enlarging
the seating capacity to 12.000 per-
sons, improving the playing field
and players’ accomodations.
He will field one of the strong-
est teams in the league, he says,
in an effort in his first year to
bring a pennant to New York—or
better still to Harlem.
Ben Taylor Again
‘The other important figure in the
league was Abs Manley, owner of
the newly organized ' Brooklyn
Eagles. Mr, Manley also declares
himself ready to make Brook:yn
heard and felt in the league. Hav-
ing signed up Ben Taylor to handle
the playing end of the game, Mr.
Manley has assured himself of one
of the most astute men in the
game to take cave of that end of it.
Already, Taylor has signed Double
Duty Radcliffe and Stee? Armed
Davis of the Chicago team and has
several promising youngsters under
cover to spring on the league. Tay-
lor, it will be remembered, served
veveral years in the District as
manager of the Washington Poto-
maes which the Washington help-
ed to launch in an effort to make
the District baseball conscious as
far as colred teams are concerned.
During the business session of
the league, two teams were drop-
ped from the roster, Baltimore and
Cleveland because of last year's
forfeitures. Two other teams were
refused admission to the league,
Boston and a second Philadelohia
team,
Matters pertaining to salaries,
playing dates and other affairs of
the league were discussed after the
report of John Clark, league secre-
tary of Philadelphia, was heard.
Mr, Clark's report shewed improve-
ment during 1934,
fact that the Official has some ex-
pectations of the Athletic director
as follows:
“"a) Ample provision made for
his accomodation at the home
school; (b) Exclusive room for an
official conference of those respon-
sible for the conduct of the came;
(c) Full and immediate compensa-
tion after each game without delay
on the part ef the home school;
(4) Reciprocal professional att'-
tude from coaches under all condi-
tions, and (e) that coaches sha‘l
express at all times in the presence
of their players nothing but s1-
preme respect for the performance
of officials thereby promoting @
higher degree ef eportemarship on

AG 20 DEFEAT ON
UNION PANTHERS
Sull smarting under the de-
feat handed them by Harold
Martin’s Miner Teacher Col-
lege basketball team, the
Howard University Bisons
gathered a 46-24 victory over
the Unicon University Pan-
thers in the local gymnasium
last Saturday night. A large
crowd, though not as immense
as the throngs which viewed
the first three Blue and White
games, was on hand to wit
ness the proceedings.
Outolayed in every departnicat
of the game the Richmonders were
no match for the locals. Howard
Jcounted 18 poiris before the visi
tors were able to negotiate, The
half ended 28-12.
Although Herbie Jones, who hes
been creating 2 sensation with his
spectacular play for the Burrmen,
was off color, the combination of
Wynne, Pinn and Williams wreak-
ed havoc in the Union defense.
‘Trio Stars
Wynne garnered six field gon's
and tossed in two free shots, Pinn
five from scrimmage and one from
the 15-foot line and Williams five
two-pointers and three from th:
charity mark. Howard and Daven-
port, both guards, were the best of-
fensive weapons of the Virginians
Fach had two field goals and twe

decision for the Orange and Blue

For about ten minutes of the

Lincolnites soon warmed to their
work and at the end of the period
they held a 23-14 margin. The

DETROIT, Mich. (ANP)— Many
of the big moguis of the boxing in«
dustry came here to see Joe Luis
win ‘another sensational victory
over Patsy Perroni, Boston Itale
ian,
The ten-round bout at Olympi
was promoted, by Sian Malt ast
Nate Lewis of Chicago who signed
Louis for his first bout against Lee
Remage in the Chicago Stadium.
In the two bouts in which Louie
has appeared for Messrs. Mullin
and Lewis he has drawn more than
80,000 customers and nearly $60,
000 in cash money.
Among those at the ringside Frits
day night were Max Baer, heavy
weight champion; Jimmy Johnstony
famous matchmaker of Madison
Square Garden, and Joe Jacobs,
manager of Max Schmeling, forms
ex heavyweight champion ‘of the
world,
Baer appeared in an exhibition,
four-round bout against Babe
Hunt. He was roundly booed for
clowning. Aftor the Louis bout,
he said of “Baby Face”:
“T can knock him out fn a couple
of rounds, He is just a baby.”
Jimmy Johnston said: i|
Garden Wants Him i
“He looks like a great fighters
We will use him in the Garden anys,
time we can get a suitable oppone|
ent for him. Louis is going to ims
prove. He can punch and he ie”
cute,
“T think he will do very welt im
heavyweight division... I would net
be surprised if he becomes heavy=|
weight champion if he gets a shot
at the title.”
Joe Jacobs seemed to want Louls'
for his man, asserting: |
‘Louis is a good fighter, but
Max Schmeling can knock him out)
and Olympia matchmakers won't
have any trouble doing business
with me. T have heard that the
matchmakers are experiencing a
great deal of trouble getting op-
ponents for Louis. Anytime they
think Louis is ready for Schmeling
my man wil be ready.”
ck in New Yirk Jonston was
quoted as saying again: “i
“He's just about a year away
from Max Baer and a title fights,
A husky 190-pounder, he is grows
ing steadily and improving rapidly,
fie uae a crush left hook and a
right uppercut that can tear your
head off. He fights like @ sa)
chine, with an expressionless face,!
regardless of how the battle is go-!
ing.
Has Hitting Power
“fle was # revelation to me last
night in his thirteenth professional
fight, and his thirteenth straight
victory. Perroni was the latest
victim and Louis had no, trouble
with him at all. ‘Ten of hie fights)
Louis won by knockouts which
gives you a fair idea of his hitting!
power, |
“T tried to sign him to fight in,
the Garden on January 22, but he
has only been fightiag profession |
ally ‘since last July, and thirteen
ights represents too fast a pace.
“His handlers have wisely deeid-
ed he needs a rest and are taking|
him to the Coast. He will not fight |
again until February 22. We'll)
have him here in the Garden in
March, against the winner of the
James’ Braddock-Art Lasky bout.”
“Louis took the full force of not
more than two punches during the
entire 10 rounds and the only mark
on his face was a tiny red welt
near his eye and a few drops of
blood which dribbled from his nose.’
He carries his elbows close to his
hody and parties punches with his
forearm: with remarkable skill.
“But the thing I liked most ae
bout Louis ix that he gives his best
every minute.
“Boxing has been dormant in,
Detroit for a tong time because
fans were sick of monkeyshines.|
‘They turned out last night to see
Baer and he gave them nothing,|
Louis saved the show. If Detroit
fans continue to go to boxing
shows it will be to see the Joe
Louises, not the Baers and
O'Dowds.”

Virginia State Downed in 23-19 Contest at Greensboro; Game a Thriller
A GREENSBORO, S.C.—The Trojan five of Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., throw a scare into the championship bound Aggie five who emerged on the long end of a 19 to 23 score, here last Thursday. A large crowd gathered to witness the Aggies take their third straight victory of the year and to remove one of the most dangerous obstacles in their march to the championship.
The Trojans secured an early lead as Griffin sunk a field goal on the first tip off. A and T. was unable to stop the fast Trojan five who ran up a 6-point lead in the first few minutes of the game. The game was fully five minutes old before the Aggies were able to penetrate the Trojan defense for a basket. It seemed that at one time the Trojans would repeat their sweeping victory over the Aggie but McLain finally sunk a short basket.
Aggies Wake Up
With the advent of Burgess, forward and Kennedy, guard into the game the Aggies were able to check the Statemen somewhat. However, the Trojans maintained their lead throughout the first half. Griffin, of Virginia State, was the big gun throughout the half, when covered under the basket he sunk them from the center of the floor, in fact the entire Trojan team were long shot artists. They were leading at the half by the score of 14 to 12.
A determined Aggie team entered the second half and before the half was two minutes old they had assumed the lead. The Statemen fought hard to regain the lead but the guarding of Neeley and Kennedy was too much for them. As the final whistle blow they were shooting at random long shots which failed to connect.

CHICAGO.—Over the Hill of Oblivion goes 1934, but not into oblivion go the accomplishments of that historic year in sport. Cast high in letters of gold, achievements of colored athletes must forever stand as a flaming beacon to those aspirants who set a record, who would win the fight, who would help win the game.
DOWNIE ATHLETIC HEAD SUCCUMBS
George B. Lomax, Sec'ty-
Personal preferences and opinions are innate qualities of us all. The glamor of the 50-yard run made by one star might be drab to you who would pin your choice on the 80-yard dash of another. To me accomplishment, ability, resourcefulness are shown in dramatic flashes at the moment when I'm in a receptive mood. So off goes my hat to the folks and deeds herein listed whom Iye either seen or read about:
To Joe Louis' Sponsors
To Johnny Roxborough of Detroit and Julian Black of Chicago for making history for the race in placing 'really big money behind Joe Louis, first Negro heavyweight with title possibilities to have entirely colored personnel, as far as the money is concerned, backing him.
To Joe himself, for his gentlemanliness, unassuming attitude, and sportmanship in and out of the ring at the critical time when the white public which makes the champion is ready to conden him on little or no excuse, thus to evade the possibility of a colored champion.
To Willis Ward for his sportmanship in giving his all for his Alma Mater, the University of Michigan, when his school, by its actions, would relegate him to secondary consideration.
To Oze Simmons, Texas boy, reeling through Northwestern's line for Iowa University, like some phantom of an elder spider, glittering like some flaming jewel, the only Negro out of 22 players on the field.
To Ralph Metcalfe, America's bronzed messenger of goodwill to the Orient, who proved and still can, that color bars can be cut by flying feet.
Pamama Al Brown
To Pamama Al Brown, the various language speaking bantam-weight champion of the world, who grows more capable each year in guarding and protecting his distinction of being the race's only world champion.
To Robert "Pat" Ball, versatile Negro golf professional, who took a swing at the color line in sports by achieving the distinction of winning the Cook County open tournament championship three times; winning the national professional open title of the United Golfers Association for the third time and for breaking the ice in the tourney held in Minnesota which he won.
East-West Game
To the colored sponsors of the East-West baseball classic in Chicago last September for singular achievement in bringing 25,000 fans of both races to a truly big-time show.
To Eddie Tolan, the "Midnight Express" of the University of Michigan who had the courage and gameness in face of inevitable criticism to turn professional and make his nimble legs earn him a living while he is still able.
The Kentuky Champions
To Coach Henry Kean of the Kentucky State College football team for the development of a colored college elecyn, which might give an impressive account of itself if placed in the brackets with the recognized white institutions.
To Captain R. S. Darnsbly of Tuskegee and J. Anibery Lane of Wilberforce, who instituted every possible effort to make the annual Tuskegee-Wilberforce football game in Chicago a success.
To Cornelius Johnson, Los Angeles prep high pumper, who stands ace high in International Track competition.
To Jessie Owens of Ohio State for being a logical successor to the sprint crown worn by Metcalfe.
To Fulace Peacock, track star, of Temple University, for repeating his 1933 pantabalen record:
To Delbert White, senior at Kansas State Teachers' College, at Pittsburgh, Kansas, for his victories in the decathlon at the Kansas relays.
Clark Tapples Tuskegee by Score of 26-20
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
The Clark University Panthera
praised a 26-20 decision over the
Golden Tigers in Logan Coun-
sium here Wednesday afternoon.
The margin of difference ther-
nated the teams during the two
periods of play was never more
than six points. At the half
Clark was leading 12 to 12.
"So you want to become my con-
inion?"
"No—not exactly. I only wanted
to marry your daughter."
DOWNIE ATHLETIC HEAD SUCCUMBS
George B. Lomax, Sec'ty Treas., M3-A Dies Suddenly; Games Postponed
DOWNINGTON, Pa.—The sudden passing, on Friday, January 18, of George B. Lomax, instructor in mathematics and science and director of athletics at Downingtown Industrial School for thirteen years, caused the postponement of boys' and girls' basketball contests with Harrisburg Y teams from January 18 to January 25. The games will be played in the Forester Street Branch in Harrisburg. Mr. Lomax was buried in Richmond, Va. from the home of his mother, Mrs. Sallie J. Lomax, on Monday. Mr. Warry principal of Downingtown, re-ented the school and the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, of which Mr. Lomax had been secretary-treasurer since its formation.
Among many beautiful floral tributes from a large host of friends was a beautiful wreath from Downingtown's faculty and student body. The MAA, through its vice-president, Mayor Lewis L. Watson, of Bordentown Manual Training School, also sent a spray of flowers.
Kerry, Hampton Freshman Stars as Lions Bow to Seasiders
Kerry, Hampton Freshman Stars as Lions Bow to Seasiders
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
C. H. Williams's Hampton Pirates
successfully opened their home
basketball season by scoring a
decisive 39-29 victory over the
Lincoln University Lions in a
hair-raising battle last Thursday.
Up until the last six minutes of play the spectators were frantic, for the playing was $s_2$ close and exciting that no one could anticipate the outcome. Although the Pirates were in the lead all the way, it was not until the fading moments that the Hampton rooters were able to take normal breaths, for the dead-eye shooting of the Lion forwards were finding their marks a little too often for them.

MITCHELL FIGHTS
(Continued from page 2)
while in the city, Congressman Mitchell, amid numerous Amens from the congregation, told the pastors he was a Baptist and had been one since his school days in Alabama. He declared that "real progress must be backed up by real Christianity as the first New Deal was brought into the world by Christ." Explaining that we should stop wandering like the Children of Israel, strike a straight course and go across to the Promised Land, the Democrat asserted "I am here to do my duty as God gives me the wisdom to do it."
Will Fight Discrimination
using his program, Congress Mitchell stated he would at- crimination, but "in a sensible way." He further advised the ministers that he was in favor of any work program, better housing conditions and discrimination in the Civil Service. In connection with the latter phase of the program, Mr. Mitchell will advocate the use of the fingerprint method in Civil Service applications and abolition of the photograph system.
Objects /o Bill
He mentioned his intention of introducing another anti-lynching bill because he believes the Costigan Anti-Lynching bill to be unconstitutional. Crimes will be stopped only by education not by laws, he stated. Declaring that he believed the source at the White House was pure but that it does become contaminated along the stream, Mr. Mitchell again reiterated, this time in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I will not allow any hotheads, whether they be individuals or newspapers to sway me from the course I intend to steer." Stating that he had besieged with letters advising him how to run his offices, the Illinois Representative, said all urged him to fight but he saw no cause to fight as we must "use our heads and hearts as our fists cannot substitute for our brains."
Asks Support of Pastors
In forceful conclusion, Congressman Mitchell asked the support of
A MESSAGE FROM

Capitol View News
After a brief explanation of and comments on the Commissioner's bill, by the corresponding secretary, O. W. McDonald, the Capital View Citizens' Association voiced opposition to the bill for two outstanding reasons as follows:
1. It might eventually abolish the proportionate representation of Negroes on the Board of Education thus lessening the powers of their suggestions, and probably resulting in appointments of no Negroes in any positions, now under the board, and a possible removal of those who are in the service.
2. It would increase the injustice of the D.C. Repair Shop situation as it concerns our group, inasmuch as this shop has done little toward employment of Negroes under control of the commissioners.

The Black X
Coach Burr Smiles As Howard Takes It
A hard fighting, sure shooting Miner team crossed the street last Wednesday to swamp the present C.I.A.A., basketball champions 46-36 in a demonstration of block and tackle floor polishing that kept the tightly packed Howard gym in a constant roar.
In spite of this loss the Howard rabble heaped more verbal abuse on the poor Miner coeds and their so called effiminate male classmates than was ever used on any other school. I admit that I am for Howard always but I did have to hang my head in shame as Miner became King for a day.
The Voice of the Rabble

Father! ! Father! ! I cannot tell a lie . . . Howard boys cut down Miner's cherry tree.
Yeah! ! Rah!! Rah!! Susie Martin was a Miner girl.
The Miner Rabble
Miner tried to get up a rabble to oppose Howard's, but the yells were for the most part answers to those given by Howard and some could not be heard. These are the ones that are printable;
Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Howard-
ettes.
Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Chicken
Charlie was a Howard man.
Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Susie Mart-

Flash!!! McDaniels carried out
his threat to bust some one in the
jaw and Ken Clark was the recipi-
ent of Mac's rage. Ken acted
as a perfect gentleman should
and did not retaliate saying that if he
used violent action there would be
no grounds for protest.
It seems that in a letter to the students Ken stated under part III, numeral D (A Plummer is supposedly appointed by McDaniels to go in his place to Boston). Mac had been heard to tell not to print this statement and if he did it would be just too bad. After the letter was out Ken walked into the Student Council office, Mac was immediately notified and rushed up to have a heated argument with Ken. Mac asked Ken to step into the hall; then in a moment of rage he socked him right on the button.

The escort was popular Paul Singleton.
Another Bison Victim
The Union Panthers must have left their claws at home as was demonstrated by the poor competition they offered the smooth-working Bison champs. The score was 48 to 24 and it looks as if Howard will have to get another game with Miner in order to give the fans a little action.

LOCAL DANCES
By Daniel Parker
"Hello, friends!" Again your dance columnist greets you through the courtesy of the Mouthpiece. Thanks for the news and letters....First we look in on the party at 1736 T Street, Northwest, last Sunday evening. There we found society at its height and the music was red hot. Plenty of food and cock-tails were served and of course, the evening was mellow. Around the room could be seen whist and bridge games in galore. It proved a big success....Looking in on the dance at the Armstrong High School on Monday, I saw Billy White and his boys again performing before a large crowd of students. Many of the Younger Set were present. Notice that Hattie Ms. Walton was there with a certain young man just to spite J. E. of Cardozo....Geraldine Watson tells me that she had only five dances during the whole swinger. I think that it was enough, don't you....
Arthur Sewell tried to take the place of Harry Carter when the latter approached Fredericka Houston at Tech's swinger....L. Robinson, known as the "Kate Smith" of Tech, tried to step on Bernard Bell's corns when he asked her for a dance. Imagine his embarrassment after being left out on the floor during a hot number....Alfred Cavanaugh tried a fast two step with a certain young coed and how she did grin when he laid the "Joe Bingham"....Gertrude Jones tried to hustle 15 cents so that she could show her school spirit. Sorry, sister but that is mighty poor appreciation....Joseph "Blondie" Crawford went over to see the young lady at Dunbar but A. Goodrich couldn't see him go to the dance alone....After seeing Milton Wright at the dance, Elsie Harris, fair co-ed of Tech, writes secret passion notes to him. Dear me!
Swinging around to the Variety and Town Country Club on Monday night, I found Joseph Norris, tall, dark and handsome friend of Harriet Caves, laying his jibe with a certain young co-ed of Dunbar. Due to some rotten music, the affair was mighty sad. The crowd was moderate and what little music was being beat out they tried to swing on it. Yours truly was found snooping around by several young ladies and warned about divulging their actions in print.... Went to the "hop" at 1528 Vermont Avenue on Wednesday night, and what a time was had. John Simms played like nobody's business, but where was his friend M. Garner? So far — so good.
Hopping around to 30 H Street, Northeast. I saw the same old Thursday night bunch jabbing as usual. Carroll tried to take all of the cats, which just goes to show that he is still a youngster.... Los Amigos Social Club will hold its annual swinger on February 22 at 1514 U Street, Northwest.... By the way, Miss Thelma Robertson is the president.... At the party on Girard Street on Friday, we found John Mahoney playing host to John Duncan until he left. The ancient piece of mahogany played a humming tune, and the crowd danced to its slow rhythm.... At 408 Fourth Street, Southeast, the same night, Adolph Taylor played the latest tunes in a modernistic arrangement. Harvey Hatton and Charles Beak broke up the dance with their celebrated fan-dance.
Despite Mr. Weatherman's annoyance, that ever rising popular social club, the aristocratic Continentalists entertained at the Masonic on Saturday night. To the tuneful little carful of Pete Moss and Biss Hester's orchestras, the crowd swung lightly. The club members: E. Laws, T. Flanigan, J. Hill, W. Mason, J. Morris, and others are about to enter the annals of dance history for putting over such a gala occasion. In other words the affair was red hot. Let me leave these few words...Some club, some dance, some swinger, was the Continental ball.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935
THE MOUTHPIECE
Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb
LIVE AND LEARN
By JOSEPH C. OVERTON
"Swing folks, swing!" This is ye ole columnist ready to give you a few tips, on what's happening around town? . . Well, here goes. Imagine a young man being paid to dance with Fredericks Horton, that fair co-ed of Tech at a recent dance. Of course several of the boys were very eager to take a few dances with her, but Oswald objected to this . . . Saw Mildred Patterson on the street car on her way to Dunbar the other day. 05 course, we call them street cars in town but she calls them trollies . . . Notice that Eugenia Valentine uses street car tickets now. She knows that her friend J. N., of Cardozo can afford it these days . . . Such is life! . . Margaret Garner of Dunbar, has her troubles these days. Imagine the young lady bothering a few rummines on the block . . .
Notice that John Johnson has his lose moments to spend with Victoria W. of the Margaret Washington Vocational, nowadays . . . Poor fellow, after playting a few rounds or games of pool on the block, he has to walk home with the fair co-ed. . . Irene Proctor of Dunbar seems interested in Slick Warren, Can it be love? . . . Trying to follow in the footsteps of her singing hero, Billy Kenny of Tech, we find Emma Smith of Arlington, singing before the mika on the stage of Tech recently. Hattise Walton, clawing co-ed of Dunbar, worries a lot over Bernard T, these days. . . Ever heart of those popular locker lovers? Notice that Marie Lewis calls Charlie Carter for a conversation. Looking in on a dance recently, I noticed . . . Ann Branch couldn't swing for awhile at the Masonic. . . Joe Hall left quite early, Was Thelma W., Iola S, or H. T., the causes? . . . Essie Murphy pulling Bernard Bell by the finger around the floor. . . Thomas "Wrinklehead" Stone playing tag with Leon Braxton. . . Little boys will play, you know. Joe Crawford could not see Gretchen Brown so he would not dance. . . A certain male star of Tech is now known as "Every Women's Man" He has seven girl friends and does he get
"In Which a Columnist Pens a Missive to HIs Departed and Long Lost Partner-in-Crime:—Dear Joe:
Since your have departed from our local environs, you will most surely be interested in the doings and happenings of; and in "our younger set," as Senor Morris Murray likes to call us. First of all, I would like to tell you that we are sorry that you had to go way down there in No Man's Land or is it? Pickory, N.C.? What the heck was the idea, anyway? Did you kill a man, or some pn? Your leaving us, has resulted in your loss of two good jobs. One with the magazine, the other with the Forum. But, you should worry. I'll wager that when you return (if you ever return) you'll be "loaded" with an armful of tales regarding your conquests of those winsome Carolina lassies. But, listen, guy, here's some local news for you. First, you may be interested in knowing that your pair "threw" another party last Thursday night—and boy, what a party you missed! My "fellow scandal-pushers," Morris and Freeman Murray attended. As soon as these two columnists entered my domicile, one married man, who had attended the affair (sans wife) warned the three of us to leave his name out of print. Lord, how they waxed fearful, when we "dirt-pushers" appear on the spot! Some of the familiar figures that were present at this "shindig," were the Misses Catherine Wilson, Elizabeth Hartgrove, Julia Yergan, Audrey Brown, Virginia Lyles, Helen Carter and Mesdames Dorothy Curry, Leona, Edna and Susie Barnes. The members of the male sex who adorned the dance floor and kitchen were Messrs. James and Reuben Brooks, Lewis Young, Dominick Henry, Clarence Bungie, Clyde Smith, John Lacey, and Joseph and Turner Barnes.
You may also want to know that the New Rialto Social Club composed of the Barnes family of Giardar Street fame; David Crews, Raymond Brown, Harold Brown, and Esther Webb, just to mention a few is rapidly branching out as the club of "sports." Every member in it is a "lulu"—if you follow me. A number of your "old flames" have inquired about you and your whereabouts. To them all, I answer, "Me no know!" The Dunbar Observer in reviewing the assembly program that was sponsored by the Young People's Forum stated that "Alvin Webb, associate editor of the Washington Tribune, served as master of cerenionies."

Where does Theodore come in,

Notice that Wilbur "Billy" Carnegie

Florine Thompson is down in Va.

Why does Mary Newton stand out in the rain letting all the street cars pass, so that she can jibe Major Clarence C.? . . Just another case of armband fever! . . That Jones boy of Anacostia has several girls on their toes these days. Imagine Marie Smith leaving a dance when she saw Gladys Simms and Malcolm together . . For a little man, Raymond "Mickey Mouse" Thomas can chirn. . Notice that Audrey of Florida Avenue has a crush on Otto Tucker
Why did A. W. send H. H. to Evelyn Johnson for a shoe brush? She must be a bootblack . . What has happened to Staunton of Dunbar, since a certain young man visits up on First Street? . . May he be lost his swing! Eh! what? . . We wonder why E. L. E. was warned to look out for R. R.? It can't be the "big-bad wolf" in existence! . . Notice that Eva B. has tried to use disguises since a certain teacher warned her about the bench. . . What's up now? Noticed that Bernard Gross was invited by Helen Myles to dinner Wednesday night. He had apagettii and hot-dogs. . Fredericka has a new partner, Harry Carter of Tech.
compliment, there eh? Only it happens that I am merely the associate editor of the Mouthpiece page, in which this column appears. Nice sentiment, though. Helen Carter and Dorothy Curry, who were inseparable friends, before Dot's marriage, have become inseparable again. They left my aforementioned party rather abruptly though, and I'm still wondering why. Your old spar mate, Thelma Wolford is scheduled to preside over this Sunday's forum meeting. Won't you be the sad one to miss that treat?
Peculiar circumstances surrounding those Barnes' marriages, Leona, who is the pleasingly plump "better" half of Turner, never changed her last name when she answered "I do." She was a Barnes, then Edna, the tall and graceful "rib" of Joseph, was a Bond before "taking the fatal "step." But, what of it? Once a Barnes always a Barnes.
An "interested reader" wrote in last week to tell me that, quote "the gorgeous Beatrice Smith was also one of the hits at the recent Zion Baptist Church entertainment." Beatrice also rendered a vocal solo. Thanks for the info. All of us have been trying to secure Lillon Nickens, as assistant piano accompanist to the Y.P.S.F.—but Lillian says that until that better and fairer Sundays roll around, she won't say "yes." Don't see why of Alice Jones, Ada Twitty, Mae Savage, and Margaret Burton these wintry days and nights. Methinks they are "warm-weather" babies, if you comprehend?
Our mutual pal, Frank Shears
squires Elizabeth Hartgrove
around these evenings. Someone
said that Frank reminded her of a
chameleon. You know a chameleon
is an animal that changes his

changes his "gals." Good one on
Frank—but he can take it!
Bill Ratliff claims that he is

they have no teamwork this year.

WINCHELL IN CARDOZO
By JULINS NEWMAN
. . Hello, fans! . . This is yours truly sneaking out of his den once more to bring you the latest . . . FLASH. . . While rehearsals for the coming graduation skit I’ve heard several would be critics, namely: John Yeldell and Sadie McEntree state that the production would be a flop. . . I wonder would it interest these two amateurs to know that the author of this column has never appeared in any drama that turned out to a failure. . . Also I kindly ask the two to do me a personal favor and park themselves on the front row next Monday to view the so-called flop. Enough said . . . Traveling on . . . Did you know that the Honorable George Davis became somewhat peeved when he learned that he did not have the leading role in the affair? . . . Selling electric liceboxes and acting on a stage are entirely different, my dear Mr. Davis . . . Yowsir quite different. Racing on . . . Probably the cheapest unsportmanlike trick of all times was pulled of last week when two dear ladies of my graduating class imported a group of young gentlemen from the outside to do away with their arch enemy (the maestro) . . . However, the janiors quickly hustled them outside and so, your humble servant again lived to write this script . . . Thanks to Lady Luck . . . FLASH. . At a recent basketball game Mr. Virgil Tracy was notised laughing heartily over sketches in this column on other people . . . So let’s be a sport and give those (other people) a laugh on Mr. Tracy. . . I wonder why Virgil is quiet as a mouse around other girls when Ann Dixon is present and as loud as a roaring lion when she is absent? . . . I wonder. . . The old boy acts like a bunch of keeds let out of school for the holidays. Haw! . FLASH. . From the lips of A'da Compton, Cardozo students at recess time are being worried to death with this question. . . “Have-you seen Kermit?” . . . He, you know was the former heart of that cute little Alexandrian, Ruby Lane. . . (was cute to Kermit). How is this for a basketball star? . . . Raleigh Hawkins traveled with his team to Frederickburg recently, the team piled up a high score of fifty points. . . And would you believe it? . . . Although he played, Raleigh the star, did not contribute a single team. . . Now, how do you like that? . . . FLASH. . Little S. King, who is or was the secret idol of Laura Luckett is now romancing with Flora Compton. . . What? another Compton. . . Cardozo must be full of these sirens. Well, well, M. TaKey is now venturing into the love field. . . The young lady that completes the picture is none other than M. Rose. . . Notice their first names begin with M, might make a good team. . . You know, it some times works out that way. Will Miss Elease Newman please refrain from attending to her beauty treatments when the boy friend calls? . . . Do they teach that at Miner? . . . Mr. Abie Speaks all to know that he is the one and only as far as Alice D is concerned and not John Euell as hinted last week by the Maestro.
Glad to make the correction; Abo
.. Here's some more about that
Euell person. . It is understood that
he took every dance with the loveli-
ly Eslestine Gilmore at Herbert
Dickson's little affair last Friday.
What's the matter with the other
girls my boy? . .
FLASH . Get this! . . . where in the world was Mary Newton last Friday when her dear Major Clemons was getting away with Audrey Patterson at this affair? . . . The Major saw the new one home, too. . . Also that tall and handsome Dude Rucker had several dances with the one and only Helen Dougan. . . And here's some more about the basketball star (Raleigh Hawkins). The young gentleman fell up to Watt's affair with a certain Miss and only received one dance for his trouble. They tell me that Burton Hayes was putting out a little cash last week several of the basketball squad will testify to this. Numbers? FLASH . . . Mr. Eara Gordon is still getting in the way of Louie Chaffin, if you get what I mean. Will they duke over this? . . . Only the maestro knows. . . They say at the Virginia game, last week, those two Cardozo lovers, Dude Rucker and Flatney Marshall, attracted all of the ladies . . . What in the world could they see in these two human beings? . . . And so, friends of yours truly, I will be seeing you. . .
FOR A BLACK EYE
It is very embarrassing to have an eye blackened by a blow no matter how innocently come by and to get immediate relief is very desirable. Two simple remedies are here given. Just apply raw beef. Or you can mix powdered slippery elm in hot milk and apply this warm until discoloration disappears.

Flip of Coin Paves Way for Company F Victory
It must have been Corporal Charles Hawkins' lucky day, when he was selected to command the prize squad from Company F, to compete in the annual squad drill of Dumbar. It was only through a flip of the coin that decided which corporal would take the squad on the field, and the coin flipped in the air and landed in Hawkins' favor.
The drill was held in the armory of the Dunbar High School last Thursday. Judges for the drill were picked from the R, O. T. C. unit of Howard University. Company F is commanded by Captain Deanette Harrod, Captain Harrod in a statement to a reporter said, "I am very proud of my men and hope they keep up the good work." The cadet corp is now preparing for the platoon drill, which will be some time in the near future. Members of the winning squad are: John Phillips, Richard Wells, George Green, Robert Wilbur Ledbetter, John Spriggs. Second and third prizes were taken by Rufus Moore and Robert Ewell, both of Company B.

'To the M.G.N.'s and all Concerned'
A cute quotation was the beginning of the resignation sent to the M, G, N.'s by the charming Lucretia Clayborne, in which she stated that the members made wholesale accusations about the fact that the club members were stealing each others boy friends. There was also a minor statement saying that the club members were not up to her social standing.....My, my....So-oo another bolt has dropped out of the fast decaying M.G.N. organization....Looks like the club has at last entered the ranks of non-existing clubs....

YOUR ST
and YOU
By
ABBE' WALL
Youngest Mentalist on the Ameri
B. B.—I want help from you.
Why does my husband wrongfully
accuse me of things thatt aren't
true?
Ans.: Your husband is inclined to let things exaggerate in his mind and everything that he knows is what you yourself have told him. He makes a MOUNTAIN out of a MOLE HILL and you will learn to keep your little secrets from him for he just can't take them.
G. W. T.—Can you tell me in what state the man I love resides? Ans.: The man that you are so fond of lived in MISSISSIPPI for two months and from there he went to CALIFORNIA but he did not remain there for long and at this time you can find him in CHICAGO at the address that you wrote him five years ago
W. M. P.—My brother has been hurt for some time and I wonder if he will receive any money for this hurt?
Ans: Yes, your brother will receive COMPENSATION for his disability but it seems to me that you will have to go before the Board of Examiners before he does get this compensation. Have his doctor get in touch with the insurance company at once
J. W.—I have two sweethearts and I wander if I should take either of them seriously?
Ans: Both of these boys care for you but they do not want to settle down to one girl yet—However, W. E. H.—would rather take you to the ALTAR than to let his best boy friend win you. You must play your cards tactfully, or you will lose both of them.
F. E. B.—I am terribly interested in the ambition that I have had on my mind for several years and wonder if it will ever come to pass?
Ans.: Your sister and you will manage to get to NEW YORK but I don't vision you and she living in a PENT HOUSE within the next two years. Your sister will enter matrimony—but you will get the pent house in HARLEM.
E. M. D.—What steps should I take and what must I do?
Ans.: There is nothing that you can do—your LAWYER is a very trustworthy man and he is doing all that he possibly can for this youngster. He will not have the sentence that you believe that he will get and I am sure that you will have him with you again within the next year or two. Your son will not be as hard to control when I does get out.
A. J.—Is this child my own?
NOTE: Your question answer clipping of this column is enclosedply—send a quarter (25c) and a for my NEW ASTROLOGY REA FREE advice on three (3) ques BIRTH DATE, and CORRECT A Wallace, care of WASHINGTON west, Washington, D.C.

You gotta be good to play both sisters at the same time.....
Where is "Skeebie" Onley?
That's all you can hear around Dunbar....She's bound to fall for that class pin of Lee Rayford....Don't get angry just because D. West wouldn't...remember Phillips won't pass it up....After all a second fiddle isn't bad at all....Adele Simpkins is expected to do a bit of co-starring in her return engagement to dramatics 2 for the coming semester....
Unexpected guest
Charles Flagg knocked on down here over the week-end, only to surprise Mary Howard with an unexpected call. They tell me the regular barely missed him... Only a matter of a few minutes...uhh, Page Boden?
One born every minute
James Wright, stunned by the beauty of Winifred S., bought her a chocolate bar after hearing her bark for one...and the boys in her class enjoyed it too...get the boys, James....
Hi
Remember the Cooke sisters? Well anyway, they have been linked. One married to a government employee, the other to a local lawyer.
Dunbar Class Delights Hans Kindler With Book
The Music Appreciation class of the Dunbar High School recently sent a scrap-book of the National Symphony Orchestra to the business manager of that organization, who in turn presented it to Dr. Hans Kindler, noted leader of the Orchestra.
The class, under the guidance of Miss Lola Johnson, has been doing great work in the study of symphony orchestration.
JUST A SLIP
"When the tourist returned home from abroad he went down and kissed the floor of his native land."
"Emotion?"
"No: Banana-skin."
Ans.: Yes, it is yours—although your wife did not act as you thought she should, it is your duty to care for this child. This young fellow will make up for all that she did not do.
. F. M.—I want to make a venture that I have looked forward to for many years and wonder if I will ever carry out my plans?
Ans.: During the summer of 1937 you will have sufficient money saved to take a trip ACROSS THE OCEAN. Jerusalem will be your destination and you will remain there for approximately two months.
D. G. H.—What became of all the money that I had three years ago?
Ans.: You spent it—you can't expect to keep a fortune spending it at the rate that you did this money. You had enough money to live in luxury for the balance of your life and you have gone through with the whole amount. Sell your cars and get a job before you lose your HOME.
G. M. D.—Who cut my blue rain cape?
Ans.: Your blue rain cape was not cut but was torn. A party living in your home picked the cape up from the floor and it was torn on a sharp surface—this happened XMAS EVE NIGT
T. M.—Please tell me something about my boy friend. Why doesn't he write to me?
Ans.: Your boy friend that you met while in NEW ORLEANS was just playing around with you. He was very interested in you while he was there but now he is back home with his WIFE and he has no time for foolish infatuations such as yours. Just forget that he ever came into your life.
H. H. J.—Is this person guilty that I suspect?
Ans.: I think that you are wrong in thinking your money was stolen at all. It seems to me that you were carrying the fifty cents in your sweater pocket and that you lost it on the street. Don't be too hasty in suspecting your friends of stealing.
A. R.—I have worked for a family for four years and a ring disappeared and I was accused. Please tell me why I was accused!
Ans.: The lady that you worked for did not only accuse you of taking the ring but she also accused the maid and the cook. This is just her way of trying to locate the article. She is on the right track as to who has the ring and she will not drag you into it either.

be held in Washington, Wednesday, February 13, instead of February 15, as at first planned, to meet the convenience of the former Congressman who met with the local committee, Saturday. This date significantly falls between the birthday anniversaries of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The Lincoln Colonnade has been placed at the disposal of the committee.
Announcement to this effect was made by Kelly Miller, former professor of Sociology at Howard University. Dean Miller is chairman of the Sponsoring Committee which is planning the affair.

The nation-wide character of the banquet is indicated by the fact that a sponsoring committee of approximately 200 has already a-

Daily other responses are being received, and it is confidently expected that practically every state in the Union will have a representative at the testimonial. The members of this Sponsoring Committee are sending in special lists of individuals who may wish to share in the testimonial to Mr. DePriest. Dean Miller states that those sponsoring the testimonial represent what might be called the Who's Who of Achievement and Importance in the world of Negro affairs.

psychopathic." They are: (1) an abnormal, suspiciousness of persons; (2) hysterical fits of rage with frothing at the mouth; (3) a persistence in false accusations, and (4) a tendency to spit in his face if her wishes are not immediately compiled with.
The university professor opened his declaration, which proved equally as sensational as the petition of his wife, with a denial of the "ungovered temper" laid to him by Mrs. Sumner. He stated that instead of being unreasonable as was in effect charged by his wife, he was of unending tolerance

“Our record for the past 90 days speaks louder than anything which might be said. We present the record of our School Champion, Miss Daisy Jackson, of 927 O Street, N.W., who, with only 90 days’ experience, typed 91 words per minute accurately for seven minutes, as being most phenomenal and vivid testimony in compliment of the high-grade and expert instruction given by Mr. Peters, the World’s Amateur Champion Typist, and the greatest of our race.”
"THE SCHOOL WHICH GIVES YOU THE EFFICIENCY NECESSARY TO SECURE THE KIND OF JOR YOU WOULD WANT"
dance of his patience could be had by calling to mind numerous instances in which Mrs. Sumner during their married life declared he "did not have sense enough to get angry."
He admitted having lived with his wife but empathically denied any co-habitation. The professor stated that an injury inflicted on him by her during a fit of rage had rendered him physically incapable of co-habiting. He also denied having insisted on purchasing her clothes for her as was charged in her petition. Mr. Sumner declared that this allegation was the outgrowth of a practice begun when he was teaching and they were living in the mountains of West Virginia.
Bought from Custom
As they were nine miles from the nearest trading center, the professor avers, it was his custom to do the buying for the household. This, however, was always done according to her direction. When they moved to Washington, Mr. Sumner continues, the practice was not discontinued although only a few house-dresses he saw on sale and a fur coat, purchased in New York, were among the articles bought by him for her.
Continuing his charges, Professor Sumner avers his wife has an inflexible life-partterm in which it is her conception that a husband is merely "a meal ticket, slave and money maker." It is also her view, according to Mr. Sumner, that a woman has a right to tell false-hoods.
The defendant denies his wife's assertion that he beat her. He states that instead of him being the agressor Mrs. Summer, during fits of temper, has torn to shreds his clothing, scratched his face, hands and breast, evidence of which he "will carry to his grave."
Charges Misrepresentation
Summarizing, the university professor declares that his wife has deliberately misrepresented in her claim that she remained with him out of fear. Instead, he declares, she stayed in his house because of her own mercenary idea of being taken care of. For a long time, Mr. Sumner avers, his wife "has been talking of alimony."
Throws Books
Other symptoms of his wife's psychopathic tendencies, the professor concludes, are that she throws books and ink bottles or "anything she can get her hands on" when angry.
"She scratches furiously and is apparently transformed into a person bewitched and coming out she does not appear to know she has had them."
Professor Sumner finishes off by laying to his wife a deficiency in emotional response other than anger, of delusions of persecution, of jealousy, of sexual frigidity, of selfishness and of a pronounced tendency to false accusations and falsehoods.

Negro Repertory Players Rehearse For First Play
Rehearsals are now under way for the first production of the Negro Repertory Players. Doing purely experimental work this group takes its place as one of the few dramatic groups of its kind in America. Composed of Louise Pierson, Valerie Parks, Grace Desmond, William Robinson, Henry Huson, Merril Booker, William Beverly and Thomas Richardson, the Repertory Players are directed by James Butcher. Mr. Butcher was formerly connected with the Harlem Experimental Group.
Realizing the need of a National Little Theatre Movement among Negroes in America, this organization has set out to develop such a movement. Working without lavish scenery and gorgeous costumes the Repertory Players will produce all types of plays. Whatever scenery that may be necessary for the productions will be done in the workshop under the direction of Mr. Hudson, former P.W.A. artist.
The Reportory Players expect to stage their first production within the next few weeks.

Physicians' Aid Dance Was Week's Attraction

Last week the Physicians' Society Colonnade on Friday was on social calendar. Quite informal it was, the dance was well attended. Over the hall in favor of the informants were present who have not been some time. Probably not the paining with a formal dance at the dance would have been even better.

Respond
Last week the Physicians' Scholarship Benefit dance at the Lincoln Colonnade on Friday was one of the high spots in the week's social calendar. Quite informal and extremely enjoyable because it was, the dance was well attended. Expressions of approval were heard over the hall in favor of the informal affair now and then. Many persons were present who have not been seen out at these function for some time. Probably had not the popular Chesterfield Club been entertaining with a formal dance at the Masonic Temple, the Physicians' dance would have been even better attended.
However, many still cling to the desire for the Friday formal affairs, when beautiful ladies with the latest in evening clothes claim the attention of the smartly dressed beau brummells. Thus the Chesterfields held their annual affair for their friends. It was a very pretty and enjoyable affair according to those who attended.
Making a slight departure in the nature of social reports, may we bring to you the news that our former Congressman, the Hon. Oscar DePriest was in town last week combining business and pleasure. While here he was warmly greeted and entertained by his many friends who still think of him as a member of this community.
He was the honored out of town guest when the DePriest Fifteen, a club of which he was a member, entertained in honor of Attorney W. L. Houston, on last Saturday evening at Harrison's. Attorney Houston was presented with a handsome fountain pen, Mr. DePriest making the presentation. All fifteen members of the club were present and the usual "good time was had by all."
Mr. DePriest was called to New York and other points on business but will be in the city on the 13th of February when a nation-wide testimonial will be tendered him at the Lincoln Colonnade sponsored by a committee headed by Kelly Miller to show in what high esteem he is held by his friends. Responses have been most gratifying.
A surprise oyster supper was given in honor of the ladies of the Dilly Dallies by the male members at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baylor, 424 Twenty-third Street, Northeast, on Monday evening.

Social Workers Form Permanent Council to Thresh Out Problems
New Organization to Serve in Advisory Capacity to Local Conferences
CAMPBELL C. JOHNSON
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN
Council is Outgrowth of Joint Citizens' Committee Formed Last Year
Organization of a Joint Citizens' Committee or Council to serve as a clearing house for the many important civic problems that confront the various local organizations from time to time was effected Saturday afternoon at a meeting of local civic, church, school, military and political leaders at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. The new organization which will probably be known as the 'Joint Citizens' Council' is the outgrowth of the Joint Citizens' Committee, organized early last year to formulate plans for PWA and FERA projects and to act as an advisory committee in connection with social work.
Will Be Advisor Body
The new council will act in the same capacity, as a clearing house for the many problems that daily come up before the social organizations of the city. Only in cases of emergency will the council serve as a protesting unit. In other cases the body will discuss the problems outline the best procedure of protest and then let the organization which is specializing in that kind of work carry out the plans.
Beasley Objects
Only one objection to the permanent organization of such a committee was evident at the meeting. That objection was given by George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations, who declared "I cannot lend my support without the authority of the federation as the federation feels that it can handle any civic matter that arises in the District." Mrs. Virginia McGuire and Belford V. Lawson, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and New Negro Alliance, respectively, stressed the fact that practically all local organizations work overlapped, and that laxity in social work among colored people in Washington was partially due to the refusal of cooperation by the different organizations that preferred to act independently.
Major Campbell C. Johnson, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., who had served as temporary chairwoman of the committee, was named permanent chairman. Attorney Belford Lawson was elected vice chairman and L. H. Russell, commander Walker American Legion Post, secretary.
To Study Bill
A legislative committee, appointed by Chairman Johnson, was given the proposed bill transferring the power of the Board of Education to the District Commissioners to study. The committee will make a report on its findings at the committee's meeting Saturday. Members of the committee include Mr. Lawson, chairman; Dr. Howard H. Lone, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Attorney William E. Taylor and Attorney Thurman Dodson.
The Rev. J. D. Pair, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Association, was appointed chairman of a budget committee with Bishop E. D. W. Jones, the Rev. Robert Anderson and Mr. Russell members.
A committee on: by-laws and constitution included the Rev. R. W. Brooks, chairman; Mr. Lawson, the Rev. Mr. Pair, Mr. Russell, Mr. Johnson, Dr. Wesley, Dr. Long and Ishon Jones. Appointment of committees on housing and economic security was deferred until a later date.

PATSOR FEELS OLD POLICE SYSTEM IS BEST FOR COLORED Writes Letter to Major Brown Saying New Methods Ineffective
In a two-page letter to Major E. W. Brown, superintendent of police. Thursday, the Rev. Joseph N. Beaman, local minister, 907 Westminster Street, Northwest, suggesting that the old system of patrol policemen be reinstated in colored precincts.
The Rev. Mr. Beaman was beaten by four thugs who attempted to hold him up while he stood in front of 419 M Street, Northwest, talking to a woman whom he had accompanied home from the Supermind Science Meeting, 221 Florida Avenue, Northwest
Cites Quick Service
In a complimentary letter which described the complete holdup, the pastor stated:
"The new system of Police Patrol by means of telephone and scout cars is a fine modern system of getting police protection in times of extreme emergency and awful danger.
"It is one of the best schemes ever devised by any set of police officials.
"Under this system the police can reach the place of crime within a few minutes, and thus cope with the situation.
"There can not be a better system for the white sections and the highly intellectuals."
Not for Colored
"But in the most part in the colored neighborhoods or sections, they are slow to apply this system, a large per cent of them are afraid to use the system of telephoning. They are afraid, that they will be spotted out, or looked on by their neighbors as bad and undesirable neighbors and, consequently, get the ill will of their friends and neighbors.
"It is suggestive that the system of Police Patrol on foot, be used in the colored sections as in the days of old, especially at night, until the colored people become educated to the new system."

NEW YORK—Senator Huey P.
Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana
and possible candidate for Presi-
dent in 1936, gave out his first in-
terview on Negroes here last week
and ignored the question of Negroes
voting in the South and the
question of lynching.
The Kingfish, who talked with
Roy Wilkins, managing editor of
the Crisis, for thirty minutes, said
he "wouldn't touch" the question of
Negroes voting in the South. He
said it was one of the things that
"even Huey Long" couldn't handle.
He rambled on, talking about his
belief in education for Negroes as
well as whites, telling how he had
distributed free school books when
he was governor of Louisiana. "I

state of Louisiana was maintaining

On lynching, the Kingfish dodged a question about his attitude on the Costigan-Wagner bill. It is well known that he opposes it. Questioned about the lynching of Jerome Wilson in Franklinton, La. on January 11, the day before the interview. Senator Long said that lynching had "slipped up" on him and the state, but expressed the opinion that the lynched man was "gully as hell."

COLD SHOULDER GIVEN PRESIDENT BIRTHDAY PLAN
Leaders Here Ignore Plan to Give Celebration to Aid CCC Boys
Washingtonians turned a cold shoulder to the proposed celebration of President Roosevelt's birthday which is to take place this month.
The plan was to sponsor an entertainment at which time funds would be collected to buy books and reading matter for boys in the Civilian Conservation Camps. Since colored sufferers are not admitted as patients at the Warm Spring, Ga. sanitorium for infantile paralysis victims, colored admirers of the President suggested that the celebration be held and funds donated to the C.C.C. boys.
A tentative program had been outlined and a number approached on the plan. However, since Mr. Roosevelt has failed to come out definitely as to the policy of the Georgia sanitarium many leaders here are of the opinion that since he has not done so they see no reason why they should observe his birthday.
It was said that the President suggested another sanitarium in the north where colored sufferers might be treated, but so far nothing has been done about it
INDICTMENTS CITE
"TOOTHPICK THIEF"
Lonnie Louis Stillwell Confronted With 15 Counts by Grand Jury
Fifteen indictments of housebreakings and larcenies were returned by a District Supreme Court grand jury, Wednesday morning, after hearing police testimony regarding the repulsed activities of Lonnie Lois Stillwell, 29-year-old former Howard University junior, during the past two years.
Stillwell has been referred to by police as the "toothpick burglar." Arrested on December 3, 1934. Stillwell was accused of wholesale entrances of houses in and near the city proper. He was arraigned before Justice Oscar R. Luhring on January 3, and on direction of his attorney, Nathan A. Dobbins, Stillwell entered a plea of "not guilty." The original indictment charged the former university student and tennis star with breaking into the home of Albert Kamos, white, 2440 Sixteenth Street, Northwest,

The Kingfish, clad only in a suit of maroon silk pajamas, received his caller in his bedroom at the Hotel New Yorker. He was courteous except that throughout the interview he used the word "nigger" continuously.
He said Negroes in the North were welcome to join his "share-wealth" clubs because they could vote. He was not concerned with Negroes in the South because they cannot vote. He denies that he is definitely going to run for the Presidency in 1936, but it would be easy to turn his "share-wealth" clubs into a political organization almost overnight.

FERA CARING FOR GEORGES SAIL FOR 17,000TRANSIENTS CANARY ISLANDS
The report of December 15 on transient relief program to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Administrator, shows 17,000 unattached male Negroes of all ages being cared for by the transient bureau of the FERA. This is 11,22 percent of the total number of unattached male transients. There were 750 Negroes unattached women on the transient rolls. This is 15 per cent of the total number of unattached female transients under care.
The ratio of colored transients appears to be more nearly equal to that of the Negro population than the general family relief load, which runs nearly 18 per cent of the total number of persons on relief; while the Negro population is only 12 per cent of the whole population according to the 1930 census. Nine thousand more Negroes in family groups and other individuals in families were cared for by the FERA transient bureau, reported in two separate divisions of 2,000 and 7,000 respectively.
The two largest groups of these transients irrespective of race, range between 25 and 34 years which make up 25 per cent of the total number and those from 34 to 44 which compose another twenty per cent. The next two largest groups are between the ages of 21 and 24, totaling 13 per cent; and 45 to 54 make up another 17 per cent. Those under 16 years of age almost negligible accounting for only fifty-four hundreds per cent of the total number.

A HOMETOWN PAPER, OF, BY AND FOR WASHINGTONIANS. GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC
STATION PORTERS APPEAL FOR WAGE SCALE SET-UP
Mediation Board Asked to Aid Red Caps in Fight For Definite Salaries
A petition for a fixed salary set-up was forwarded to the National Board of Mediation by porters of the Union Station, late last week. The body appealed to the board after reputed requests for hearings before officials of the station had availed them nothing, it was revealed in a Tribune investigation. A decided decrease in tips—on which the Red Caps are compelled to rely for their living—drove the men to the action. Several months ago, it is reported, a committee from the Brotherhood of Parcel Porters sent to B. R. Tolson, superintendent of the station, requesting an audience. This, unanswered, was followed by another, according to the Tribune's information. No answer was received from this second letter nor from subsequent efforts to the porters' group.
Receive No Salary
The Tribune representative, in his investigation, talked with several of the men who carry the baggage. From the story he thus gathered, it seems the Red Caps receive no wage whatever for their labors. Instead they are expected to live on what they make in tips. There was a time when this income was sufficient to take care of the average porters' needs but now the earnings thus gained are cut by from fifty-five to sixty per cent. Of the 206 men employed as parcel-carriers few are able to average more than $1.25 per day. Out of this meager earning must come the $25 approximate cost of the uniform, $5 per month insurance cost as well as other responsibilities encountered in their every day life.
In their appeal the porters set out that there are some men in their group who have more than 30 years of service behind them. These men, they claim, have spent the best part of their lives as porters and can find no employment elsewhere should they desire to seek it.
Older than Station
The reporter got the names of five men who are older in point of service than the station itself. They have been employed as red caps since the old Baltimore and Ohio terminal stood at New Jersey avenue and C Street and the old Pennsylvania, station occupied a site at Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Two men, Ernest Fenwick and James Triplett, have been employed for 32 years. Douglass Johnson, Amos Sharps and Randall Mason are three others of the senior members of the group. This trio has 30 years of service behind them. Until 1932 they were receiving $5 monthly which covered their insurance. This was denied them following a ruling that year
With the forwarding of the appeal to the mediation body, the brotherhood was given an unofficial assurance that station officials would be compelled to grant them .n audience
