RISQUE BATHROOM STORY SHOCKS COURT Washington Tribune 2 BOYS KILLED BY POLICE Wife Tells of Surprise Visit Catching Strange Woman in Bathroom Husband Counters With Charge That Wife Was Unfaithful a nd Names Correspondent RICHARD TURNER WINNER IN SUIT Couple Hurls Charges of Misconduct During Divorce Trial Hurling charges of misconduct at each other, Mrs. Martha Turner, 1900 block of Seventeenth Street, Northwest, sought separate maintenance from her husband, Richard Turner, 1160 Twentieth Street, Wednesday, in the District Supreme Court before Justice Letts. Mrs. Turner asked the court to grant her permanent alimony. She charged desertion and claimed that her daughter and herself surprised Mr. Turner in an apartment with a young woman partly dressed locked in a bathroom. Surprised Wife Mr. Turner countered with a charge of adultery and asked an absolute divorce on the grounds that he caught Mrs. Turner coming out of the apartment of Robert Westley in the early morning hours. He testified that when he saw his wife creep from the apartment she only had on a house dress. At that time he went into the Westley apartment and demanded that the man come out and explain what Mrs. Turner was doing in the place. It was 3 a.m. on an August morning in 1933 that the incident took place, Mr. Turner said. Lady in Bathroom Mrs. Turner denied the accusation and backed by her daughter, Mrs. Juanita Ricks, she said the two went to the apartment house on Adams Mill Road where Mr. Turner worked and on entering the basement the light were out and Mr. Turner appeared excited. The two saw a bathroom and on forcing open the door a young woman in the nude ran from the room. Mr. Turner denied the charge and said the basement was empty (Continued on page 3) "NUMBERS" MURDERER CONVICTED Originally indicted on a first degree murder charge in connection with the fatal stabbing of an alleged numbers runner, John Greenwood was convicted of second degree murder by a jury in District Supreme Court, Tuesday. Greenwood fatally cut James McClinton during an altercation in the 2000 block of Tenth Street, Northwest, over a year ago. Greenwood allegedly attacked McClinton with a knife after the latter hit him on the head with his fist during an argument of a "numbers bet." According to testimony, McClinton, an alleged numbers runner, collected Greenwood's winnings on "945" and failed to pay off. When Greenwood appeared for his money, the two got into an argument which terminated in the stabbing. Greenwood left the scene of the killing and was apprehended after a long search by police. Attorney Armond D. Scott and Otheo Branson defended Greenwood. BUREAU JOB PROMOTIONS PROBED Director Teks N.A.A.C.P. Situation Had Haunted Him For Sometime Charges that white girls in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing had been promoted over colored girls whose length of service was longer, were investigated by a special committee from the N.A.A.C.P. composed of Mrs. Virginia Richardson McGuire, president; A. S. Pinkett, secretary and C. F. Brown, chairman of the Civil Service Committee, early this week. Conferring with Alvin Hall, director of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the committee was told that the situation resulted from a "promise" made to certain white employees in 1929. At that time, said the director, a change was being made from large to small paper bills, and with the congestion of work it was feared that the issue would not appear on time. Consequently, he explained, certain employees were taken from the press room to do this special work, with the understanding that they would be given priority over the other girls in the matter of promotion. Promised Priority The girls, selected by the personnel directors of the several divisions, were all white. The director stated that the situation "had haunted him" ever since, but there were still a number of girls to whom this promise had been made, who had not yet received the promised promotion. Mr. Half further stated that frequent complaints had been made to him because of this error from white as well as colored employees, and assured the committee that such an occurrence would not happen again. Not Satisfied Because the girls so discriminated against still have no redress, some members of the committee are not satisfied with the results of the conference. Further investigation will probably be made, and the matter taken before the Civil Service Commission and the House Civil Service Committee, of which Congressman Sirovich, New York, is chairman. Says Adult Education Will Help Condition Mrs. Mary Mason Jones discussed "Adult Education" before an appreciative group at a meeting of the Church Fellowship Committee of the Y.W.C.A. Saturday. Mrs Jones urged that advantage be taken of this type of education to develop self expression and pride and a better understanding of prevailing social and economic conditions. Domestic Service Class to Hold Graduating Exercises The first graduating class in Domestic Service under Adult Education will hold their exercises in the auditorium of the Armstrong Technical High School, Wednesday night.

FLASH!! Beltran D. Barker, proprietor of the Barker Service Station, Eleventh and V Streets, Northwest, and a well known business man of this city, filed suit, late this afternoon (Thursday) for recovery of $9,100, reputedly taken from a safety deposit box of the Industrial Savings Bank, last December. The bill of complaint, filed at law, was drawn up by Attorney Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes and registered in the District Supreme Court. FIGHT FOR JUDGESHIP RE OPENED "Mud-slinging" Creeps Into Battle Against Reputed Favorites A move to install one of the three colored Democratic eligibles in the District of Columbia Municipal Court judgeship, and at the same time put to an end the long, drawn out battle between aspirants to the post held by Judge James A. Cobb, Republican incumbent, was blocked late this week as opposing forces rushed to the front with a determined bid to forestall the appointment. Strategy was met with strategy as supporters of one candidate moved quietly and swiftly—but not swiftly enough—to edge their favorite onto the Municipal bench. Operating with the same swiftness and employing a course of "mud-slinging" that was well night venomous, opposing factions as well as outside elements who have no interest in either of the three candidates but stand determined to spike the guns of this one particular aspirant, rushed to the Department of Justice in the hope of "killing the birdling before it flies." Charge "Indiscreetions" "Evidence" of alleged irregularities that are reputed to have found their way into the life of the candidate, to whose endorsement reopened the fight for a judgeship, was placed on the desk of the Attorney General. Among these, it is averred, is the derogatory report from a former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Phone calls and letters poured into the Department of Justice when it was rumored that a decision had "just about" been reached in the effort to find a suitable man to replace Judge Cobb whose term expired nearly a year ago. Called on the phone by a Tribune reporter, Wednesday evening, this candidate stated he knew nothing of the latest consideration of his name. "I could say under oath," he declared, "that my name has not been sent to or from the Department of Justice." Communicating with the office of the Attorney General, this morning (Thursday) the Tribune was told that the name of this candidate was "still being considered." A secretary informed the writer that no recommendation had as yet been made to the White House. Meanwhile the remaining candidates watched, wilt, growing interest, the developments, in the campaign. One of these is reported to have Congressional support in the fight. But this was denied by both the candidate and members of Congress.

Alumni Repudiates Miller as Spokesman The D.C. Chapter of the Alumni Association of Howard University passed a resolution at its meeting last Saturday condemning the action of one of its members, former Dean Kelly Miller, for claiming to represent the alumni in a recent letter to Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes. Death of 21-Year-Old Youth At Hands of White Cop Probed CORONER'S JURY CALLS SLAYING "JUSTIFIABLE" Local Attorney and NAACP Threaten, Thorough Quiz in Shooting Attorney Edward P. Lovett, representing the family of 21-year-old Clarence Miller, 627 T Street, Northwest, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made it plain late this week that neither he nor Archibald S. Pinkett, were altogether satisfied with the findings of a conner's jury which probed the death of Miller Tuesday at the District Morgue. A further investigation of the shooting which occurred near New York Avenue and North Capitol Street and resulted in the death of Miller is likely. Counsel for the family of the deceased and association officials made it clear to the Tribune that they contemplated following the case from every conceivable angle. F. S. Marshall, white policeman, attached to the Second Precinct, to whom the fatal shooting of Miller last Friday morning, was charged, was exonerated at the inquest. A verdict of "justifiable homicide" was returned when the officer issued a statement to the effect that Miller, running away from an automobile that had been stopped by Marshall, made a motion as if to reach for a weapon he believed might be hidden in his hip pocket. Cab Driver Aids Cop This rec. a of the policeman was substantiated by Edward Di-Carlo, white taxi driver, living at 1237 North Capitol Street, whose opinion that "Officer Marshall was justified in firing" was admitted into the hearing. DiCarlo showed an unusual interest in the defense of the policeman. One time he departed from the line of questioning long enough to add the following statement which obviously was intended to impress the jury: "There was a street light at the place where the colored man reached for his pocket and my headlights were on him all the time.

The letter follows: "The District of Columbia chapter of the Alumni Association of Howard University regrets that an outstanding alumnus such as Dean Kelly Miller, should use the influence of his position among alumni and friends of Howard University to propagate misleading and derogatory information with respect to alma mater, as is reflected in an open letter by him to Secretary of Interior Icke and published in the' press of March 16th, 1235 where he essays to speak for the 6,900 alumni of Howard University. "Dean Miller is without authority to speak for this chapter and we here repudiate him as spokesman. We profoundly regret that Shot Youth Four Times During Alleged Coal Stealing Attempt The fatal shooting of George Adams, 25, of 155 Pierce Street Northwest, during an alleged attempt to steal coal from the railroad yards at Second and M Streets Northwest, last week, was held as justifiable homicide by a coroner's jury, Monday. The jury, following an inquest into the death, at the District Morgan, found that Paul Roberts Pearson, white of 241 K Street, Northeast, fatally wounded Adams in defense of his own life. Pearson a special policeman at the coal yards, shot the young man four times during an alleged tussle at the yards about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night. Adams died at Casualty Hospital Saturday from gun shot wounds of the chest, right side, right leg and abdomen. Claim Youth Cut Coat According to testimony at the coroner's probe, Pearson shot Adams after he had been attacked with a knife by the youth. In a voluntary statement to the jury, the white watchman declared he observed Adams leaving the Consolidated Coal Company yards with a loaded bag on his shoulders. He (Continued on page 16). "Toothpick Burglar to Face Sentence Friday Lonnie Lewis Stillwell, former Howard University tennis star and accused "Toothpick Burglar," will be sentenced in District Supreme Court tomorrow (Friday) after pleading guilty to several charges of housebreaking. Stillwell's lunacy hearing, scheduled to be heard in Supreme Court, Thursday, was dismissed earlier in the week and a plea of guilty to several charges entered by his attorney. The District Attorney's office later later proposed other charges pending against him. i Repudiates Spokesman the Alumni Association of a resolution at its meeting by the action of one of its ally Miller, for claiming to recent letter to Secretary of going to whom Howard University has given so much should now, in the evening of his life, evince such absence of gratitude. "Mature years as an educator, and leisure such as Dean Miller now has, should qualify one to make some creative contribution to education, and a modicum of gratitude would dictate the dedication of that contribution to the institution from which he has gotten all that he has. "If those years have not equipped him to do creative work, the least that should be expected of him is, that he will do nothing to mar the fair name or otherwise injure the institution which made him." THE CITY OF NEW YORK Part of the throng which attended the funeral Sunday of Richard Berry Harrison, "De Lawd" of "The Green Pastures," outside the Cathedral of St. John Divine in New York City. Bishop William T. Manning presided at the services. Thousands Jam Huge New York Cathedral at "De Lawd" Rites: Body of Star Buried in Chicago Harlem Pays Last Tribute to Late Star of the Play "The Green Pastures" BISHOP MANNING CONDUCTS SERVICE "Heavenly Choir" Led by Hall Johnson Sings Favorite Songs NEW YORK (By Alvin E. White for ANP)—With all the solemn dignity of the Episcopal church, funeral services were held Sunday for Richard B. Harrison, the man who createl the role of "De Lawd" in "The Green Pastures," with Bishop Manning of the Diocese of New York connecting the services in the majestic cathedral of St. John the Divine. Set for two o'clock, the funeral of the noted actor who died Tuesday at the Fifth Avenue Hospital where he had been taken following his collapse early in the month the occasion attracted people from all walks of life many of whom attended the morning service at the Cathedral, remaining through for the funeral. Thousands View Remains Thousands View Remains Cordons of police kept crowds and traffic back on the outside of the huge sacred edifice, while inside, every available space was taken, the aisles being crowded with those unable to obtain seats. Prior to the bringing of the massive bronze casket into the main apse of the church, the body had lain in state first at St. Philippe Episcopal Church in 133rd Street. Here it was viewed by thousands of persons eager for a last look at the features of the man who practically lived the role he acted—lived it as far as was humanly possible. Cathedral Offered And when the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop saw how many people were anxious to attend the services, he knew that St. Phillips would never accommodate them. It was then that Bishop Manning stepped in and offered the Cathedral for the last rites for "De Lawd." And well it was too, for even with its mighty seating and standing capacity, there was not room for all who came to pay their last respects. During the early part of Sunday the body lay in state in a small chapel off the main auditorium. By a striking coincidence, this was the Chapel of St. Ausgurites, the missionary to Scandanavia—and jasmuch as Mr. Harrison had been somewhat of a missionary, it was no more than fitting that his body should lie in this chapel. (Continued on page 2) They "Reviled and Persecuted "De Lawd" CHICAGO.—(ANP)—Friends of Richard B. Harrison in this city, where he had lived for 40 years, recalled after his passing last Thursday, that among the tragedies of his life before fame claimed him, was the bombing of his home four times by white hoodlums during the hectic war period. Mr. Harrison's home was not bombed because he was not a patriotic citizen, but because he chose a home in a section of the city beyond a line established by whites for Negro residence. Mr. Harrison's wife and children suffered shock from these outrages from which they never recovered. At the time of the distinguished actor's death, his wife and daughter were in a sanitarium as a result of nervous disorders. The Harrison family was one of many Negro families which were objects of attack when the Negro population of this city grew and it was necessary for colored families to find new homes. Along with the others, this great man, "De Lawd" of "The Green Pastures," was "reviled and persecuted." Former Washington Priest Dies in Baltimore The Rev. Father James J. O'Connor, former Washington priest and assistant to the Rev. Father A. J. Olds of St. Augustine, died in Baltimore, Md., Thursday, following a brief illness. He succumbed after a stroke. The minister was at the St. Ann's Church at the time of his death. He served at the St. Augustine Church for 15 years, was a noter-singer and a splendid speaker. He also pastored at Bethesda, Md., at one time. Driver Had Brakes Fixed Before Reporting Mishap James L. Battles, Jr., 35, of the 1300 block of R Street, Northwest, was held on charges of reckless driving at the Second Precinct, Tuesday, following an auto mishap which resulted in the serious injurying of a 14-year-old school patrol boy. Battles is alleged to have reported the accident to police five hours after it occurred. During the intermin, police say, he had his car brakes repaired. James Lewis, of the 2000 block of Tenth Street, Northwest, was in an undertermined condition at Freedmen's Hospital as a result of the accident. Romains Met in Chicago Where Final Rites Were Held for Great Actor ABBIE MITCHELL AND J. GREENE, SOLOISTS Sad, Wondering Throng Met Train Which Bore Body of Richard B, Harrison CHICAGO (Abb) Exposed in a bronze casket symbol of eternity and the unknown, the body of Richard B. Harrison "Do Lawd" was returned to the hometown who had been his Monday morning on the Commodore Vanderbilt, specifically transported after Sunday's impressive service in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. There, last Thursday morning, Harrison had died, after being "welcome to death" in the hereworshipping metropolis. Throng Meets Body A sad, wondering throng met the train crowding, the platforms so that the arrival of the next train was delayed. These were those who had known the touch of his flesh, the beat of his heart, in quieter days before fang claimed the lovely old gentleman and death took him away. Mixed in this revealing group were: Mrs. Maude Roberts George, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians; Mrs. Morris Lewis, president of the Douglass League of Women Voters; Mrs. Murray Brown and Mrs. Virginia Yates, old friends of "De Lawd," and former State Senator Adelbert Roberts. Forever it was borne in upon them was stilled the magnificent voice which had intoned through the vast expanses of Soldier Field last summer at the Afro-American pageant, "O. Sing a New Song." Mr. Harrison had spent a serene summer among his friends, at the bedside of his stricken wife. He had been full of life, full of plans. One marveled in talking to him that a man then 70 should so daringly plan beyond man's allotted time. The body was taken in charge by Frank Edwards, undertaker, and carried from the station to the stately Harrison home at 5942 Indiana Avenue, where it lay in state Monday afternoon and evening while hundreds filed through for one last look at the face of the beloved actor.

Instead of Jesse Owens or Ben Johnson copping the 60-yard event, it was Metcalfe and Fulace Peacock who occupied the limelight during the Madison SSquare Gardens performances. Peacock Shows Heels Peacock, the Temple University ace, set the fastest time of the evening for the event, copping the second heat in the splendid time of 6.2 seconds, a bare-one-tenth of a second off the record time set by Owens, last week. But Peacock bowed to Metcalfe in the final. The Ohio State sophomore ran third and Ben Johnson, the Columbia University sprint star who startled the whole nation by beating this same group in the annual Amateur Athletic Union games two weeks ago, finished fourth. Peacock then returned to capture the broad jump event from Owens, who also holds the record for this event. He leaped 24 feet, 11 3-8 inches to better the Ohioan's jump of 24 feet, 10 1-8 inches. Owens was far off his form of his last appearance in the Garden, that showing having been marked by his effort of 25 feet, 9 inches. Threadgill Bows Al Threadgill, also of Temple, finished second in a tie with Harold Osborne (white) of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in the high-jump which was won by George Spitz (white) of the New York A.C. 60 Yard Dash Invitation Running Broad Jump—Won by Eulace Peacock (Temple University) 24 feet, 11% inches; Jesse Owens (Ohio State University) 24 feet, 10% inches, second University) 24 feet, 10% inches, second 22 feet, 7% inches; Weford Wilson (C.C.N.Y.) 21 feet, 7% inches, fourth.

Woods to Get Crack at Ross Title CHICAGO (ANP) — Final arrangements have been made for a title match between Barney Ross, lightweight and junior welterweight champion, and Henry "Kid" Woods, sensational West Coast battle, at Seattle, Wash., April 9, according to Ross's manager. The bout had been scheduled for February, but Ross was unable to go through with the match, due to illness. The fight will be for the junior welterweight title. Woods has not lost a fight in two years.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING MARCH 23.1935 Baer's Words Hold No Fear for Joe Louis BISONS SURPRISE N.Y. MONARCHS IN CAGE WIN Blue and White Tossers Display College Spirit in Downing Pros NEW YORK (ANP)—Saturday night, Monarch Lodge basketball team got the surprise of its life—and so did the 300 fans who had foregathered to witness what was advertised as a basketball game between the Howard University basketball team and the Monarchs. Everybody just knew that Howard's lads didn't have a chance against Monarch for wasn't there Al Eldridge, Frank Caffey, Horse Steele, Jack Livingston; Longy Saunders, former Rens center and Bik Webb and Bricktop Wright playing on the Monarch team? Well, in the first half, it did look sort of dubious as the old folks were wont to say and when the whistle ended, the fans were wondering just what the final score would be if this one now was 20 to 4 in favor of Monarch. A Different Story Horse Steele made Howard look foolish with his fancy passing, done with either hand, and his tricks which mark him one of the greatest showmen in the game. And there were baskets made from all kinds of angles which seemed impossible. But in the second half, there was another story and Howard came out fighting. And when we say fighting, that's what we mean. They did everything just the opposite to what they had done earlier in the evening and when the final whistle sounded, the score, glory be, was Monarch 29 and Howard 32. It was as thrilling a game of basketball as has been seen in these parts in many a moon. No such upset since the SPAHS defeated the Rens before New Years. At any rate, Howard, which had been the laughing stock of the fans now became the favorite with the same folks—all of whom were rooting for the underdogs to come on and take the game. And Howard did in splendid style. It was a tired but happy crew of basketball players wearing bisons on their sweat suits that left Rockland Palace early Sunday morning and even Monarch will tell you that youth, properly trained, is not to be despised. NITERS DEFEAT CHALKWRITERS Armstrong Evening School Five Smothers Balti- more Outfit The Baltimore City Chalkwriters followed the suit of many of Armstrong Niters' opponents by losing 50-27, last Friday night. At no time was the outcome in doubt for the victors scored first and were never headed. The visitors showed a beautiful passing attack, but the locals broke it up, and when half time was called the latter were leading 30-11. Wood and Murray did well for the losers, but were no match for Bush Brown and Harris, of Tech, with 15, 12 and 10 points, respectively. Our task may be hard but it's our task for all that. "My Managers Do The Planning, I Do The Punching," Says Youth By Russell J. Cowans DETROIT.—Joe Louis, sensational young heavyweight who has scored 13 knockouts in his 16 con- executive profes- tional victories since last July look time out during training t the Naval army for his battle with Natic brown at Olympi- a, March 29, to power Max Baer ho, according to effective pro- fessional victories since last July, look time out during training at the Navar Armory for his battle with Nathi brown at Olympi- m, March 29, to answer Max Baer so, according to sports from Sas- camo, Calif. Louis ramento, Calir, claimed he would drape Louis "over those chairs on row G" if they meet in the ring. "I will fight anybody my man- agers match me with." Louis said. "They do the planning and I do the punching. I confidently believe Looking 'em Over by SAM LAGW With the Tribune "Following the lead" has for many years been a practice traditionally connected with the Negro race. Progressive color-bearers of our group always have and probably always will oppose the practice, but there are times in the lives of all of us that we feel a reversion to some old, abandoned custom may serve us in good stead. For example, how many of my readers would like to see our small, but formidable band of colored athletes taking the same stand as the Jews in regard to participation in the 1936 Olympic Games, slated for Berlin? The "ayes" have it. And it's my belief that the big reason why it isn't unanimous is because those who refused to vote are not aware of what the Jewish stand is. Well, here goes. Forty-two followers of the Semitic faith who took part in the 1932 Olympics recently made public their intention of shunning the international competition next year because of the attitude of Nazi-Germany toward their people. The anti-Semitic attitude was made an issue by Dave White, executive secretary of the United States Maccabi Association, in Boston, early last month. White, in an open statement to Jews the world over, declared his organization would not ask Hebrew athletes to refrain from participating in the 1936 Olympic Games. At the same time, however, he voiced a hope they would stay out voluntarily. Showing a consistency of thought and a loyalty that is characteristic of the race, nearly 50 Jewish athletes embarked from New York last Saturday bound for Palestine and the Jewish Olympic Games to be held there April 2 to April 9. Negroes have been steady winners in the Olympics since 1920, and as time wears on their conquests have become more numerous. The names of Butler, Gourdin, Hubbard, Gordon, West, Tolan, Metcalfe; Johnson, Drew and others have been indelibly written on the slabs alongside of other Olympic immortals, to be removed only by a cessation of the activity. What with such stars as Ralph Metcalfe, Jesse Owens, Ben Johnson and Eulace Peacock monopolizing the short-race winners' circles, and Cornelius Johnson and Al Threadgill taking the measure of all who would feign high-jumping, and some of these same men occupying the limelight in the broad-jump and open field affairs, the time is ripe for the striking of such a blow as has been advocated by Jewish leadership. There can be no disputing the assertion that Uncle Sam's hosts would feel the withdrawal of such a powerful force as this array of track and field stars. Too, there are the colored boxers who measure up to what is expected of Olympic contestants when and where the time arrives. In spite of numerous efforts on the part of the Negro press to obtain a definite statement from General Charles Sherrill, white, regarding his interest in the probable reception to be accorded colored Olympic contestants in Hitlerized Germany, the United States Olympic Committeeman has refrained from discussing the matter. Sherrill's indifference should be the Negro's awakening. Persecution of the children of Shem boasts of no more advanced stage than oppression of the offspring of the races ethnically African. Hebrew history can point to no case of persecution that cannot be paralleled by some instance in our own. We'll disregard the complaints they have against mob-violence practiced by the Nazis, American history is dotted with such injustices perpetrated on Negroes. Negro papers, this week, will probably carry the following Associated Press release in their news columns: Nuremberg, Germany—A professional wrestler known as Wango was barred from further matches here by Herr Julius Streicher, chief Nazi leader in the Franconia district, last week. "Those who organize wrestling matches between Negroes and white men defeated in wrestling matches with Negroes, and those who applaud when a black man has floored a man of our race are not Nurembergers. Moreover, a woman who applauds no longer can have anything to do with Nuremberg," he stated. The Fraenkische Tageszeitung, Nazi newspaper of Nuremberg, says the real reason for Stricher's statement was the fact that Wango throws his opponents with regularity. Said the newspaper: "His skin, being oily and smooth, permitted him to literally slip from the clutches of his adversaries." The eyes of black-folk throughout the nation were clouded with anger during the past fall when Wilkis Ward, star football player of the University of Michigan eleven, was relegated to the bench because of the objection of a southern white coach whose team was slated to oppose the Ann Arborite. And in our own fair city just last week a Howard student was barred from participation in the District of Columbia Amateur Athletic Union Golden Gloves Tournament purely because he, like hundreds of thousands of Nordies, has Negro blood in his veins. White folks have always insisted that Negroes "ape" them. Come on, let's. The "aves" have it. Well here goes. Forty-two followers of the Semi-Olympics recently made public the national competition next year because toward their people.

Kid Chocolate Badly Beaten in Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela. — Kid Chocolate, former world featherweight champion, took a severe beating from Simon Chavez of Venezuela here Monday. After gaining a draw in one round, Chocolate lost all the rest to Chavez in a 10-round match. Words Hold I that I can whip Baer." To put emphasis on his remarks, Louis began to lash out at his sparring mates with some hard lefts and rights. The thought of the champion's remarks seemed to have angered the sober-faced Louis. Louis arrived in Detroit last Tuesday from his successful trip to California where he did a fine job of dispatching Lee Ramage and Donald (Red) Barry in short time. Louis and his younger sister, Vunei, who was given the trip as a graduation present, were met at the station by friends and reporters. Sister Thinks He's Swell Louis's sister says he is the best brother in the world. He minds everybody and she doesn't have the least trouble making him take his rest and stay in Mr. Blackburn's diet. At his last fight she wore a bright red outfit...fitting in well with the bizarre and colorful array of filmdom's notables. Louis is himself not the least bit awed by Hollywood's glamour or public acclaim. His mind is set on one goal: World's championship. He talks about as much as the telephone pole on your corner. The Louis Rejects Offer for Retzlaff Fight SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Because he had already signed for fights in Detroit on March 29, and in Chicago on April 12, Joe Louis's sensational Detroit heavyweight, was compelled to turn down an offer to fight Charlie Retzaff, here on tomorrow (Friday). No Fear for Jo most concentrated force of physique and personality and thought, he never allows the slightest distraction to win his attention from his one ambition. And all the pretty girls in California's famed crop of beauties are just lovely creatures to be left alone. Manager Comes East John W. Roxborough, co-manager with Julian Black of Louis, went on to New York where he signed for Louis to meet Natie Brown. Brown has won eight bouts in a row in the past year, holds victories over Red Barry, Tony Gaento, and John Risko, the Cleveland "rubber man." On seeing the snow that blanketed the streets of Detroit, Louis said that he could have spent two more weeks in California, enjoying the sunshine and hospitality of the fight fans. But the powerful young fighter was very anxious to see his mother. The two months he was in California was the longest he had ever been away from her. Both Joe and his sister carried many presents for their mother. --- CENTER TEAMS TO PLAY FOR CAGE CHAMPIONSHIP Series Starts at Garnet Patterson Gymnasium Monday Night By Clarence McL. Pendleton Community Center teams will begin play for the basketball championship, Monday, at 7:30 in the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium. Teams representing Birney, Garnett-Patterson, Dunbar and Francis are entered in the championships. Dunbar Community Center boasts a strong team built around George Brown, Bush Payne and Norman Watkins. The Garnet-Patterson play-offs will come this week to determine which team will represent that center. Birney has a team that will cause many stronger teams a bit of worry. The team is built around Melvin Lancaster, ex-collegiate star. Francis has one of the strongest teams in the junior section. The outfit is contained by Lewis Bryant The basketball tournament is the third of an athletic series being conducted by the All-Sports Tournament Committee of the Community Center Department. 'DALES OUTDOORS THIS WEEK-END "Prides of LeDroit Park Finish Indoor Drills Friday Night The Hillsdale A.C., "Prides of LeDroit Park," have started their second week of conditioning for the coming baseball season at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School.

Boxing Matches to be Held Here Again The annual Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association boxing championships will be held at the Howard University gymnasium, Saturday night, March 30, it was announced by Clarence W. Davis, acting head of the Department of Physical Education, early this week. Teams from Lampton institute, Union University, Lincoln University, Virginia State College and a host of others are expected to send teams to the championship in an effort to wrest the title, won last year, from the Bison mitt-pushers. A whole lot of people who know the truth fail to walk in the "way." Joe and Vuneis Have a Brother and Sister Act All Their Own In discussing his trip with a group of friends Joe said, "I'm back with a heap of new tricks." Asked to explain just what he meant by new tricks, Joe said that he had improved his boxing under the tutelage of trainer Jack Blackburn. The two fights on the coast also added to his ring craft. This was noticeable in his sparring as his blows flicked out with unearning accuracy. At the same time he fended off blows with amazing ease. His rhythm and balance have been toned up. In other words, one can see the finishing work that is in the process under the skill of the old craftsman, Jack Blackburn. JACUMBA Calli. (ANP) Young Tiger Flowers, former Nebraska sensation, was knocked out in the second round of a scheduled eight-round bout by Freddie Cohen of Jackson. Team. Flowers weighed 136, while Cohen scaled 140. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL West Coast Fans Fear for Safety Of Joe Louis's Sparring Mates Writer Reports Boys Get "Tired" After One Workout With Detroit Demon; Dynamite Jackson Admits He Can't Take it From Young Sensation SPORT SCRIPTS By Art Carter PETERSBURG, Va.—Down here in the collegiate environs of this Old Dominion State town and up on the hills of Ettrick where Virginia State College stands, of Richard (Dick) Brown, Washington youth better known to the collegiate set here as "Bug Juice," a moniker given him during his freshman days as a Trojan, will always be remembered. Brown's name and the name of his Dear Mother, now ill at her home in Washington, have been written into Virginia State College's athletic history. --- Not because of any athletic feat performed by Brown during his two years at college (1922-34) nor because of any great endowment the District youth has given the school will his name be forever spoken on the college campus. But, as the popular song goes, because of an idea that crept into the noodle of Dick during his matriculation here as a physical education major. Last year, Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes, Virginia State's Physical Education director, started an intra-mural basketball series but had nothing to give the winning team as a trephy so Brown decided to do something about it. During the summer, he was forced to abandon plans to return to school because of the death of his father. Undaunted, however, he continued to work on his idea. Last week, Brown let the school in on his scheme when he presented Coach Barnes with a 14-inch gold-lined loving cup to be awarded the winning quint in the annual basketball intra-mural championships. --- The cup was christened the "Mattie Douglass Brown Trophy," in honor of his mother, Incidentally, Mrs. Brown was a student at Virgin'a State back in the days of 1902 when the institution was known as the Virginia Normal and Industrial School. The "Reds," winner of the first intra-murals last season was also inscribed on the beautiful trophy. Each year the name of the victorious team will be engraved on the cup. The rest of this pillar will be scribbled in Washington. A showdown on mixed boxing in the District was forced by Clarence W. Davis, acting head of the Physical Education Department and boxing coach of the Bisons, when the local A. A. U. Chapter refused Bish Hart the right to participate in the tournament held last week. It was ascertained that although there is no law prohibiting the promotion of colored and white bouts here the Boxing Commission discourages it. Tribune Girls Trounce Challenger Five PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Philadelphia Tribune Girls, national colored basketball champions, treated the undefeated Challenger Girls rather badly in their first championship series game at the Y.W.C.A. on last Thursday evening before a large crowd. By smooth floorwork, fast passing and stellar shooting the champs ran the score up in the first half 30 to 2. The playing of the entire Tribune team completely baffled the Challengers. The news girls cased up in the second half and the score ended 39 to 6. The newsgirls will start a series with the American Legion Girls in Atlantic City, Friday, March 22. The Jersey Girls are undefeated this season. And, on Thursday, March 28, they will start a series with the Community Girls in West Chester, Pa. Downie Basketers Win Twin Bill DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.--After flashing their best form of the season Wednesday in turning back Lanky Taylor's Dixie Dukes of Philadelphia 29-22, Coach Lewis' Downingtown Industrial School passers bowed to the classy York All-Stars here Saturday evening by a 31-24 count. The Downingtown girls landed their twelfth victory in 14 starts by trimming the York maids 21-7. The few good people among us get little encouragement. LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Local citizens interested in the art of the cauliflower and its kindred industries, have taken on a feeling of intense fear that the young giant, a killer of men in the ring, named Joe Louis, imported from Detroit (which is a bad, bad town itself) to fight here. Beg to Be Excused It was said that after the boys had worked out one or two rounds with the Chicago demon, they asked to be excused, advancing that their aunts or uncles have the toe ache in Yakimo and they have run down over the week-end to see them. It is usual that these statements are accompanied with a request for a little cash and it is wickedly maintained that once with a few shillings in their hands, the boys have no intentions of coming back and that is why Joe Louis, and his staff of Johnny Roxborough and Julian Black, are having so much trouble. The boys aren't anxious to be battered into butter. Nearly Ruins One Only the other day at the Main Street gym, Joe knocked one man completely out of the ring and nearly ruined another. Leroy Haines and Dynamite Jackson, the Coast's best bets in sepia mitt drillers, clapped their hands to their cars in abject terror when the idea was broached that they would be fit mauling subjects for the young sensation. It was said that these boys had agreed to box with him before he came out here, but once seeing the terror inside the squared circles, they turned up their noses, plucked their skirts and kept agoing. TOLAN WINNER OF WORLD SPRINTS Former Olympic Star and Collegiate Sensation Takes Pro Crown MELBOURNE, Australia, —Eddie Tolan, former University of Michigan speedster and Olympic star for the United States, scored his third victory in four races against Austin Robertson, white, here last week. By so doing he became professional champion of the world, the title that had been held by Robertson up to the time of the colored lad's entry into the paid ranks. The bespectacled Detroiter clinched the title last Thursday when he outstepped Robertson in the 220-year dash, winning in the fast time of 21 1-5 seconds. Previously the Australian white boy had bowed to Tolan in the 75-yard and 100-yard sprints. The only one of the four-match races lost by Tolan was captured by Robertson in 12 3-8 seconds. Tolan was third in this event finishing behind Buddy Roberts, another Australian, as well as the winner. This was the 130-yard dash. Speedy Service COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Jess Owens track sensation of the Ohio State University cinder team, is engaged as a messenger boy for the Ohio State Legislature which gives that law-making body undisputed right to claiming the fastest carrier in the world.

The Dover lassies, however, came in on the short end of the most closely fought battle waged in the league. They were the victims of an 8-7 setback. In the girls' contest the winners got only two field goals by Bradley and Menton, the last and deciding one coming in the waning moments of play.

He will avoid the nearby half-mile track which usually introduce racing to Maryland, waiting for bigger game at full-sized ovals. Reid Ready for Mount Clarence Reid, youthful riding sensation who established quite an enviable reputation among apprentice jockies the past fall, will be back in the saddle this year. He is at present engaged in exercising the horses under Mr. Smart's care. He thus serves a twofold purpose. He not only helps condition the flesh, he keeps his own weight down for the work that is in front of him. Reid, like the Smart horses, will avoid the smaller ovals. Action for him begins with the inauguration of racing at Bowie. Raymond M. Smart, son of the veteran trainer and a friend of the talented Reid, will again hold his book and make the riding engagements. Tension Felt Over at Laurel Park, Elmer Trueman, well known white trainer, is carrying the string of the Trueman interests through their early Spring paces. Both Smart and Trueman, when seen by a Tribune reporter late last week, appeared to be anxious to get under the wraps of competition.

C., exponent of the manly art in three rounds out on the coast two weeks ago. Joe Louis, sensational Detroit colored boy who looms as the country's leading contender for the heavyweight crown, late last week consented to meet another Capital City representative in the squared circle. Louis signed on the dotted line for a match with Natie Brown, heavyweight champion of the District of Columbia, the fight to be staged in theOlympia Stadium here. March 29 Last year, Brown won 14 of 17 fights and finished the season unbeaten. He started on his successful 1934 campaign by coming out of a year's retirement to meet Walter Neusel of Germany in the latter's second fight in this country. Neusel was downed for a count of nine on two occasions. 0 And all the dry cleaners believe in the "back to the soil" theory. With the announcement that the "daily double" system of betting is to be installed at Maryland race tracks during the approaching Spring session coming simultaneously with news of the winning of $7,205 by a lucky holder of a Florida "daily double" ticket, local patrons of the nearby ovals became even more enthused as the date for opening of the Bowie program drew near. Joseph B. Boyle, general manager of the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association, took advantage of legislation that was recently passed permitting Bowle Laurel, Pimlico and Havre de Grace to install the "daily double." The Bowie official immediately announced that the added attraction would be carried by the Prince George plant when it opens April Breaks Record The huge return, won by Harry Dopser, white Jersey City truckman, visiting Tropical Park Race Track, at Miami, is the largest ever won in this country. The "daily double" record return up to the Topsper good fortune was paid at Aqua Caliente, Mexico, in 1931. The amount involved on that occasion reached $4,678.

Brockenbury HAMPTON, Va. The first Intercollegiate Boxing Contest held last Saturday at Hampton, with the Howard team as guests and competitors, proved to be a big success from many angles. The enthusiasm displayed by the surprisingly large number of spectators, the splendid demonstration of sportsmanship and ability on the part of the contestants, and the general atmosphere, all indicated that boxing is headed for a great future in the C.I.A.A. All five of the bouts went to Hampton. The Pirates, who have been training hard under the guidance of "Buck" Neilson, and led by the ace of all-round athletes, "Chief Bender" Hooker, showed surprising speed and superiority in nearly every phase of the many art of self defense.

In his golden chariot... off to greener pastures... A race heart-throb... Rich man, poor man, begar man, thief... doctor, lawyer and Indian Chief...All are mourning the passing of the kindly actor, Richard B. Harrison, who for years played the role of "De Lawd" in Mare Connley's play, "The Green Pastures." Gabriel blew his trumpet and the 70-year-old philosopher who "walked de yearth like a natchler man," was called to his Maker, last week. After eighteen months of continuous performance on Broadway and innumerable performances throughout the country, "De Lawd" collapsed in his dressing room, from whence he was taken never to return. Let's hope that Angel Gabriel gave the usual cue, "Gangway fo' de Lawd Gawd 'shovah' and our Richard B. arrison climbed Jacob's ladder into the pearly gates **** Aw shucks! it's publication time again and what a job for your little writer. Rain, snow or shine, the column must be written, not any old way, but the readers of the Younger Set shall have the latest in news. O.K. customers, here she goes... Who put out the story that Washington had the most modest and refined children? Well they should have been in one of the theatres Saturday, when the so-called dickie bunch turned the joint out. The trouble occurred when two young men had a freeer for all right down front. The usher put a stop to the scrap, and the unmolested hoodlums reclaimed in dignity... The loveliest from Garnet so far happens to be the charming Charlotte Wesley. Quiet, but oh so lovely... Gone Up Now... The locals at Dunbar won't have a peep in when it comes to Lillian Adams, 'cause she's got one of those writing fellars up on the hill dropping her eight and nine page scorchers. They tell me the armband rumor is out, and so is Freddie Smoot.. Some folks say robbing the cradle is bad but when it comes to putting nipples on baby's milk bottles, that's going too far. Mary (jibe) Michaux, seems to be nursing little boy, Andrew Moss, and from what I can see Paul Alexander can't take the gas... Correspondence Well ain't this a pistol? The following is a letter giving me the devil about that write-up I gave the seniors of Dunbar last week Here's the letter... "Dear Mr. Murray, "Following a write-up in the current issue of the Washing-ton Tribune, the year book committee so loudly attacked by a cheap columnist, must be vindicated. In the first place, when the picture was contracted for, the committee had no preview in which the picture could be judged. We realize that the part taken by 'Neptune,' the crap shooting colored boy was reflective, but the theatre could not cut those objectionable scenes without ruin the plot of an excellent story. Furthermore since the picture had been postponed twice and changed once, any further postponement of a picture would have caused complete loss of the part of the Liber Anni '35. "Hoping that any reflection made by columnists will be backed by facts rather than assertions in the future, we the year book committee of the Dunbar Liber Anni ask for your support; morally as well as financially. Yours truly, Joseph Martian, Committeeman for the Dunbar Liber Anni." My dear Mr. Martin, I may be a cheap columnist but I know a rotten show when I see one; furthermore the very point I tried to bring out, you agree with—the point that death with that crapshooting feller in the picture, "Neptune." I did not make any assertions on the committee without facts. But I note that the statements I made you admit in your letter to me. I'll give you my support financially at school, but after school hours my position is that of a writer, and my moral support, will come after the committee will have stopped its ways of supporting lousy pictures for money to carry on. Helen Barnes is still spreading her news about that three line notes she received from Hubert Peen (a Hill-topper). Three lines from a hill man equals ten pages of the school boys.... Mary Dowling flirted herself to perfection with a Dunbar armband at the Colonnade, Saturday. Maybe she wanted to make R. R. sore, 'cause they broke up Friday nite, but from reports things are still ducky.... Gerald Wilson, the popular Dunbarette, has been chucked for two weeks, and Russell Hines finally put out...

Harrison, can do nothing but further hope that members of our own race who love to yell "I hate a white man" will now change their attitude. Such praise from so great a news carrier for one of our color deserves orchids and here they are.... Well, well, it comes out from under the clouds that one Mr. Frank Belle, a Cardozo P. G., is now that way about Miss Elisabeth Newman, of Mirr. Wonder what kind of a brother-in-law would be make?... Wonder?...

No it was not the writer. Last Friday night the Patterson V8 forgot that it only had one seat and invited a group of young ladies to ride him. They say Mr. S. King saved the day by pulling up in the old Dodge. ..Keeping Mr. Julian Brown in the limelight, the youngster called on the hill Sunday to pay a visit on the Blackburns. The young ladies were out and so was Mr. Brown when he discovered that. ..And now, ladies and gentlemen my cyronies and I will leave the young knights of Cardozo (Cadet officers) to meditate over their armbands. Cheerio... Our club gave an operetta Just the other night You never in your whole existence Saw such a sight Everybody in the cast Except a mighty few Said the right words at the wrong time Yet, withstanding faults and blunt ders It was no grand mess. Instead from what I heard folks say, It was one great success. 776 Col. Bd. N.W. --- The Operetta THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING MARCH 23. 1935 Hundreds Throng Sophomore Prom LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKEP Pleasure Seekers were Put Out in the Cold Were you at Billy Thompson's party last week? If you were not, I will give you the lowdown. Do you remember Billie abroad invitations among certain members of the younger set, and she knew at the same time that her jount would not accommodate all the persons who were invited. When several members of the younger set arrived at the joint, and were not admitted, Billie denied that she had invited them. And were their faces red? Remember, Billie, the next time you give an affair, don't invite more than you home will accommodate. Remember Rome was not built in a day. Oh, by the way, have you heard about Ray Myles taking Sam Bailey's old lady of S Street for a ride one beautiful night? Ask Luke Walker about it. Can you feature Barrington Tate being slightly teached in the head last Friday night? Well, well. The Little Women's Club will attempt to give another Marri Grus dance Saturday night. Every one is looking forward to having a better time in the lance of the kings. The night school is giving a dance tonight (Thursday) at dear old Cardozo. Many fair maiden will be in attendance. Miss Elliastine Bannister is throwing a swinger on April 5 at her dear old meeting place (home to you). I know all you North-easterners will be there. The Little Red Riding Hood Club is planning to give a frolic at 1511 U Street soon. For further details see Miss Trelama McEddy. The Dance at Armstrong The many incidents that happened over at Tech were forgotten Friday evening when the local boys and girls caused their restless feet to the musical' tones of Louis Brown's orchestra. It seems that Ethel Robinson benefitted by attending. She was able to meet Francis Whatley of Tech. He was around to see her Sunday night, too. These local girls are going after the athletes in a big way these days. The tickets were selling for ten cents or three for two bits, so that was the reason only a small amount was collected from the large crowd and the boys are said to have school spirit. Some nerve. Little Women's Dance Gets the Boys A surprise to all was the dance given by the Little Women's Club last Friday night when Tommie Myles and his orchestra walked out on the local would-be swingers. Although the club gave out passes for the dance Saturday, the crowd was still unsatisfied. The Dipons' Galia Gay Affair The galla party was a gay affair due to the Levely damels coming from afar. Among those present were: Misses Lillian Glasscoe, Rose Morgan, Leola Glasscoe, B. Dyson, Katie Fundy; William. Young and Ronnie Logan. The cats were enjoyed by all the hungry boys and girls who were present, Ask Ronnie. Yes, the punch had a 'kick in it. The Girls of the Silver Social Club Entertain The club gave its affair at the home of Miss Hattie Mae Walton, Saturday night and it was a gay party. Among those present were Miss Dorothy Boston, Dorothy Payne, Mary Taylor, Gertrude Anderson, Henrietta Talbert, Abbie Earle, Avonia Brown and Naomi Brown, James Earle, Hamilton Payne, Thomas Smith, Adolph McFaddin and Thomas Winston. And These Few Notes are Added The swinger at 1023 Tenth Street, Northwest, Friday night was a bright affair. I am sure Annie Knight, Mary Lindsey, Flen to Cornish and Allen Jones had a nice time. I noticed that the Just So Pals are giving a party Friday night at 1858 Fourth Street, but you must have your invitation. You can secure your invites from the club members. A group of the younger set, bent on a swinger arrived at the Colonnade last Saturday morning only to be sent back without satisfying their desire. The affair at the home of Miss Hazel Brown, Friday night, was well attended by the younger set. It is rumored that two local boys from Dunbark broke a window pane because they could not get in. Maybe John Cupid and Williams Ed The Personality Buddies are giving their April Fool Dance soo. The affair is promised to be a big event. THE MOUTHPIECE The Bison leather pushers journeyed to Hampton last week to make the first defense of their 1934 boxing title, and from the showing the team made Howard will be undisputed champion for last place in 1935. Our boys must have been in a daze, and if some of them were not when the fights started it is a matter of record that they were after taking the barrage of leather pushed in their mans by the Hampton maulers. The squad had a perfect record marred by Bish Hart's victory by default as they lost seven out of seven actual combats. It seems to be as bad when you are too good as it is to be rotten at least when you are end some one will fight you; but when the muggs of other schools are yellow a fellow like Hart never gets a break. Bish is now heavy weight champion of the C.I.A.A. for 1934 and leading for this year's crown and as yet has not struck a blow in the rins. Will some one please bring Bish out of his gloom and give him a chance to fight for his title?

Do note: His public annoyance wasn't invited and he didn't ask her to go!! A certain Miner upperclassman whose name happens to be Louise has been given due recognition as far as honors from the local boys are concerned.

For Students Of Students AboutStudents On the night of March 15 the sophomores of Howard University gave their annual prom. The Dinning Hall was beautifully decorated in yellow and gold, and on the wall hung the sophomore banner in their own distinctive colors of the aforesaid hues. Although the floor was dotted with chewing gum and every time you danced your feet dragged, the floor was filled with the many guests. The hall was crowded with gay persons all celebrating this event, the sophomore prom. The girls in their many colored, graceful evening gowns and the boys in their faultless tux swung to the music of Bill Baldwin's Ambassadors. No bad comment on the music, but noticeably lacking was the Bluebirds Band or Tommy Myles and the four numbers that Duke Ellington was to have rendered. The only real mar to the dance was the 75-dollar decorations which were done by one of the downtown decorators. It would have been a let better if Miss Marriana Beck would have let Brown or Conway decorate the hall. They would have done a much better job and cost no more money. Among the guest present were: Charlotte Ridgley and John Pinkett, Rosalie Reid and Edward Eary, Grace Grace and Tom Locke, Florida Pitchareh and Ewart Gruder, Grace Hagley and N. Johnson, Jr., Harold Nickens and Hyacinthe Phillips, Edythe Hughes and Morgan Dickerson, Georgia Fountain and Lennon Pemmell, John Pinkett, Henry Geraldine Turner and Henry Grillo, Clementine Tyler and Herbert Tobias, Ernestine Wilkerson and James Johnson, Catherine Wilson and Lyonel Florant, George Strait and Wahlen Stuart, Raoni Chamman, Geraldine Turner, Lola Fuckam and William Barnes.

Where were you, Son, you and Aionzo Collins must have been together.

Sees All Knows All Tells All Your column of the March 16th issue carries an item to the effect that the "black-bulling" of Elizavir Amos by the Keys Club was led by Catherine Campbell and that her influence caused Miss Amos's rejection. It has never been the policy of the club to make public its voting or to explain its decisions, yet I feel that the nature of the report is so damaging to Miss Campbell and so completely erroneous that a statement of the true situation is in order. It would perhaps be interesting for you to know that the "black-bulling" of the Keys Club is never oral and the vote of one member does not exclude any candidate. Further, Miss Campbell was actually not in the group whose vote caused the club to reject Miss Amos. The statement published was, therefore, quite unfounded and malicious. I have reason to believe that this was your intention in publishing this item, but merely one of the hazards which must accompany unreliable sources for gossip columns, and I trust that the same spirit of "sportsmanlike" of the Press," which I have come to believe underlies your interest will lead you to make whatever rectitude a public Thinking Out Loud:— I suppose the logical way to be begin this week's column would be to open up with the usual seasonal quotation, "In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love etc"...and maybe a line or two about the buds, the amp and the cherry blossoms (soon to come) would not be amiss...I might rave and rant about blue skies and plenicky weather, about moonlight rides and "love in bloom"...but I won't—until I am able to throw off old Jack Overcoat for keeps. FLASH—After a blissful sojourn of two months 'neath the balmy skies of the South Carolina country, Joe Bostic, the prodigal son has returned to dear, dear Washington...wearing a becoming son (how I envy the lad!) and having put on no less than seventeen solid pounds of flesh, Joe has returned to the flock with oodles of tales and loads of experience... your commentator knows at least three feminine hearts that will jump two or three beats faster when the Bostic lad appears on the scene...A correction—The mistaken "romance" of the Le Countess Seurock-Frank Sears pair is nothing more than a platonic friendship such as you and your cousin may enjoy...sorry for the misinformation. Aside to L. G. W. Hayes—Thanks for the swell remarks, in last week's column, but why persist in calling me a West Indian?...I happened to have been born in the Camel Zone, a tropical territorial possession of the good old U.S.A...."me good 'male boy"...David Peter who was responsible for introducing the Howard Theatre holds a responsible position in the Division of Negro Affairs, Commerce Dept....Clifton Fairfax and Tommy Peter, well known Treasury Dept. Beau Brummels eat regularly at the Commerce Dept.'s cafes...and for what "feminine" reasons?...incidentally, Ruby Smith, she of the peaches and cream complexion, is now employed in the last named building...The past week-end was a too, too exciting one...starting out with Friday night at the New Rialto Social Club's shindig at which a myriad of Washington's fun seekers "jamboreed" and following up this event with a junt to Bertle Henderson's never-to-be-forgotten birthday party in Alexandria on Saturday night, the exciting series of events was fittingly concluded with a "social in honor of the Bostic lad's return on Sunday My dear Mr. Murray!

The LIVE AND LEARN Jottings of a Rorming Columnist: During my many strolls around town this week, I encountered many new sights. It seems as though Taygloria Walch has captured the affection of Thomas "Fish" Warren. However, during lunch hour Lilian Hughes strolls through the corridors with the young man.... Notice that Jardinus Evans played a prank on Milton Wright when he caused the young man to take a vacation for a week. Tech is getting to the point where it gives students a forced vacation. Smarty Marshall has his eyes focused on Gladys. Funny how a young man so full of amateur radio experience can waste his time on a young lady ... Samuel Tuttle, of Tech, is back pursuing his studies after spending a few months in the C. C. C. What Next? It looks as though "Bum" Amos can control the music classes better than his pal, Ernest. Funny how a young man just out of college can hold such a position. Vickie Hawkins and Marie McKenny like to hang around the auditorium so that they can jibe the young men who visit there. Wonder if Ethel Lyles will stage a comeback since Leonard has his certain high school driving school hours, and a tittle Caesar at night, can be seen each Sunday at 6:30 teaching in the E.Y.P.U. of a certain church.

Julius Lansburgh Furniture Co. 909 F STREET N. W. SIXTEEN All Walks R As Testimor Howard Th Shepherd (Shep) Allen Made Guest of Honor By National Figures UNOIS CONGRESSMAN LAUDS 'BOYHOOD CHUM' Screen Stars Join With "Small Fry" in Paying Tribute to Favorite By SAM LACY Members of Congress, high government officials and ranking fraternal figures headed an array of celebrities—the like of which has seldom been seen taking an active part in the life of colored Washington—in a glowing tribute to Shepherd (Shep) Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, Tuesday night. The tribute was in the nature of a testimonial banquet and special midnight show performance the former held at the Cotton Club, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, and the latter staged at the house over which Allen, for the past four years, has ruled lord and master. Honored at Banquet The first found Mr. Allen guest of honor in the midst of a group of close friends and associates. This was tendered by a committee, headed by Judge W. C. Hueston, educational commissioner of Elks, and composed of a large number of local business men admirers of the genial theatre-manager. The second, the midnight show sponsored by the same group, gave a host of members of the laity an opportunity to show their gratitude to Mr. Allen. It also provided a number of stage celebrities an opportunity to "do something for 'Sheen.'" Crowded House A house crowded to capacity greeted Johnnie Vigal, of the cast of the current show, as he walked onto the stage to introduce Judge Hueston who thereafter acted as master of ceremonies. Judge Hueston, after praising Mr. Allen for the splendid work he has done in "furthering inter-racial good will," called upon Congressman Everett M. Dirksen, white, of Illinois. Just before Representative Dirksen emerged from the wings with Spend a L For a L SHEP ALLEN an arm draped around the shoulder of the colored guest of the evening, Judge Hueston had commended the Howard Theatre as "something more than a house of amusement." "It is an institution," the speaker declared, "an institution that has served to bridge the gap between the races in this city. Though we cannot go to the other theatres," he went on, "the Howard has brought the other theatres to us." Dirksen Extols Representative Dirksen speaking in a low but audible voice, gave to Mr. Allen one of the finest laudations a legislator has ever bestowed on a Negro since the establishment of the Mason-Dixon line. Congressman Dirksen traced the life of Mr. Allen from the sidewalks of Peoria, Illinois, to his present position. He talked at length and ofttimes seemed to drift from his topic, but always the climax of the tale was wrapped around his colored friend of h sibyhood .fkvao"or 1 bm of his boyhood. Other members of the lower house of Congress present were: Representatives Chauncey W. Reed, C. E. Allen and C. E. Aries, all of Iinois, Mr. Allen's home state. Judge In the audience were: Judge James A. Cobb of the D. C. Muni- capital Court; Dr. William J. Thompson, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia; Jerry Mellon, white director of the Associated Press, professional men by the score, clergymen and a host of others in various walks of life. Rufus G. Byars, supervisor of the A. E. Lichtman Theatres, spoke in high praise of Mr. Allen as a capable executive and as a highly respected official of a strong competitor. Nathan Stiefel, white co-owner of the Howard, presented Mr. Allen with a check for $500 as a "token of appreciation for his honesty, his earnest effort and his general all-around qualities during the four years of employment at the T Street house." Credit to Any Race "Shep' is a credit to the colored race," Mr. Stiefel said, "and if the white race had a man like him, he'd be a credit to it, too. If he wasn't a great fellow, he wouldn't be here." Following his brother before the microphone, Samuel, the other member of the ownership, likewise extolled "Shep' for his splendid work at the Howard. With a knowing wink to the audience, the speaker said to Mr. Allen "The people like you, they like your shows, they like the theatre, and I'm Jewish,"—as if to add "so you know for lonk time already you've got a jop." Roscoe Ates, stammering star of Warner Brothers' Pictures, appeared in person and kept the assemblage in laughter as he gave off some of his inimitable stuttering yarns. He was accompanied by a feminine star of the Warner Brothers' short showing on the screen. Wade and Wade, popular dancing act, and Babe Wallace, master of ceremonies at the Cotton Club, were other added attractions. Don Redman, whose orchestra was the feature attraction at the theatre during the week, gave a special program for the performance, numbering in the renditions several of the most popular musical hits of the day. Bestow Gifts A handsome traveling bay was presented Mr. Allen by Judge Hueston on behalf of the employees of the theatre Other tokens of remembrance were received from Mrs. Marie Schanks, police officer attached to the Woman's Bureau; J. C. Wright, local school teacher, and the Washington Tribune newspaper. Telegrams were read from Cab Calloway and Ben Lyon the latter, husband of Bebe Daniels and a close acquaintance of the Howard manager. The Calloway wire read: "Although I'm not with you in the flesh, I'm with you one hundred per cent in spirit." The wire from Lyon said: "Congratulations, you are deserving, sorry we cannot be with you." Mammoth Membership Drive Columbia Lodge No. 85 I. B. P. O. E. of W.

The third aspirant to the post is taken with much less seriousness than his opponents in view of the fact that the administration has heard many stories to the effect that he is an "overnight Democrat." Alliations with several different parties are said to dot his career as a political figure. Administration "On Spot" At any rate it is known that the administration is well aware of the necessity of "naming somebody soon." Notwithstanding the fact that the powers' that be probably feel the job is being capably handled at present, the time has arrived when something must be done to appease Negro Democrats in this section of the country. With a presidential election less than a year off, it begins to look like the administration has as much of a problem as do the three men seeking the Municipal Court berth. Woman, Wants to End It All, Out of Employment Despondent because of unemployment, Rosie Strong, 32, roomer in the 1400 block of New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, attempted suicide, early this week, by inhaling gas fumes. The woman was found lying in the kitchen of the house by her landlady, Mrs. Anette Young, who summoned the Rescue Squad. In a statement to police, she declared "I have been out of a job and want to end it all." When their own children get out of control some parents become very "liberal" toward youth NIGHT SCHOOLS TO REMAIN OPEN AFTER APRIL 1 A plan to keep all night schools open after April 1 was submitted to and approved by the Board of Education, Wednesday, after the directors of the evening classes had stated that five schools in Divisions 10-13 would be forced to close after that date due to lack of funds. The plan, suggested by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, and approved by the school officers and board is to consolidate classes having less than 25 pupils which will enable the schools to continue. The money will be saved by dismissing teachers having less than this number of students. 27 in Colored Schools *According to Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, of Divisions 10-13, there are 27 out of 103 classes in his divisions that have less than the required number. Mr. Wilkinson pointed out that enrollment in evening schools is greater this year than ever before. The unusual part is that students are remaining in school. Heretofore, many drop out near the end of the term which automatically decreases the cost of operation. The 20 classes at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School have an enrollment of 100 per cent, and of the 50 classes at Cardozo Evening High School only seven have an enrollment of less than 25. Students in the higher grades are showing a greater desire to remain in school this year then ever before. Mr. Wilkinson said. Enrollment Increases The budget for evening classes in 1932-33 was $97,000. This was cut to $75,000 last year and is $81,000 this year. Despite the curtailment in funds the enrollment has greatly increased. In 1932 the evening schools were reorganized on a 72-night basis in the interest of high school students who wished to enter college and elementary schools were closed right away. The plan this year is to keep the buildings open as long as possible with all students being given the same amount of school nights. It is hoped that 108 nights will be the minimum for candidates for diplomas and certificates. Board Member Charles H. Houston asked the superintendent to prepare a comparative study of the work of the chief examiner of both colored, and white schools. Dr. Howard H. Long, chief examiner for colored schools, was recently censured by the board for certain mistakes made in his office. Wants Bus Line Changed Mr. Houston stated that since there are less occupational advantages for colored persons a greater percentage remained in school and seek teaching positions. This adds to the work of the office of the chief examiner. He said he is sure one-third more colored persons are seeking positions as teachers than whites which places a greater handicap on Dr. Long's office. The Public Utilities Commission informed the board that it will have busses removed from Fourth Street between the hours of 12 and 1 p.m. providing the street is closed to traffic doing those hours which is recess at Mott School. A pupil was killed by a bus in front of the school several months ago. The commission advised the board that the street is a feeder for traffic coming from the Soldiers' Home section in the morning and afternoon. Wants Strike Permission Mr. Houston also asked the board to make a study of retirement legislation so as to include attendance officers. There is no fund for this group of workers and they are subjected hazards by frequently entering homes where there are contaginos diseases. The United Strike Committee requested permission of the board for students to leave their classes at 11 a.m. on April 12 as a protest against war. The request was referred to the superintendent. The tentative dates for the annual competitive drill were set for June 13 and 14. Due to the Shriners convention here in June it was thought that the drill would have to be held in May. The District of Columbia Federal Housing Administration was granted permission to hold a poster contest among senior high school students. The board approved the permanent appointment of Miss E. R. Frazier as teacher at Terrell Junior High School and temporary appointment of Earl R. Moses as teacher at Miner Teachers' College as of March 23.

Special Cop Freed in Killing Youth approached the youth to place him under arrest, he told the jury, but Adams attacked him with a knife. Adams allegedly cut at him several times, nicking his overcoat in three places. The shooting occurred after the tussle, Pearson testified. There were no eye-witnesses to the firing. Officers Tell Same Story Officers Richard W. Moore, Ninth Precinct, Sergeant Walter S. Beck, Homicide Squad, both corroborated Pearson's story on the stand, Officer Moore stated he found Adams lying in the railroad tracks bleeding profusely. Another policeman, Robert S. Koltz, white was called to the stand to testify about a previous arrest of Adams at the coal yards. None of the policemen were able to get a statement from the death bed of Adams at Casualty Hospital according to their testimony, Hospital physicians, however, testified that he was able to talk until a few hours before his death. Dr. C. J. Murphy deputy coroner, conducted the inquest in the absence of Dr. A. McGruder McDonald Aunt Speaks Mrs. Pauline Tyer, a relative of the dead youth, of the first block of Hanover Street, Northwest, told the Tribune that Adams in a statement to her at the hospital declared that he was not stealing coal and did not cut at the watchman. Mrs. Tyer who sat through the inquest as a spectator did not testify. Boys in Robbery Gang Get Reformatory Term Two boys, members of a gang of four boys who have been involved in a series of petty larcenies in the Northwest section, were sentenced to serve six months in Blue Plains in Juvenile Court, early this week. The other two lads, Alphonso Love, first block of G Street, Northwest, and Jerry Hardy, 700 block of Second Street, Northwest, were given probation.

AD. 8000 "DE LAWD'S" FUNERAL SERVICE (Continued from page 1) Promptly at two o'clock, the funeral procession marched into the Cathedral. Led by the verger of the Cathedral, following by the cross bearers. Bishop Manning was in turn followed by the Revs. Bishop, John R. Johnson, E. E. Durant and three other ministers of the Episcopal Church; the Rev. E. Cyatlon Powell of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Garner, of Grace Congregational Church and several other ministers of other faiths. Members of the "Green Pastures" choir, led by Dr. Hall Johnson, followed. Then came the casket, home shoft on the shoulders of the males of the performance which has been held as the greatest dramatic offering of the century. Others of the cast were behind Understudy Paps Tribute Bishop Manning read the prayers, following which, the Rev. Powell read the first lesson. Then in small succession were brief, though touching and fitting culicles, the first by Bishop Manning, the second by the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop and the last by Charles Wardles Wood, who succeeded to Mr. Hammond's role in the show. The Johnson's choir then sang three spirituals, favorites of the diseased and the closing rites were then conducted by the Bishop. Immediately after the end of the raid, the procession filed out of the sacred building, first, marching the entire length of the main auditorium, then through the uncompleted part of the church to the street. The casket covered with a blanket of gosses was heavy on the shoulders of the eight men who were given the task of conveying the body in the hearse. Traffic at Standstill Ouy in the uncompleted part of the cathedral, throne, three and four deep land the route of the cortege marching slowly along. The massive stairs leading from the street to the doors of the Cathedral were also thronged with colored and white mourners, even the opposite corners of the streets were filled. Traffic was at a halt and the company of police had their hands full keeping back the crowd, eager for a sight of the castet. Flashlights flared here and there as cameras clicked. Eager photographers making plates of every possible angle of the funeral. Across the street a movietone truck stood and its operator had mounted his camera atop the body of the car while his microphone stretched across the street to the hearse. Appeared With Harrison Inside, a number of prominent Harlemites were acting with the ushers of the church. Included in the group were Counsellors Dingle and Riddick; former Alderman George W. Harris; H. K. Craft and Henry C. Parker of the Y and other notables. Seven years ago, your correspondent, then a weekly news commentator for the Associated Negro Press on the famous "Negro Achievement Hour" over Station WABC had the honor of appearing on several programs with the lata Richard B. Harrison. Indelibly impressed is the memory of Mr. Harrison in his inimitable reading of Paul Laurence Dunbar's immortal "Lil' Brown Baby." Retreating from and advancing to the microphone for proper tonal effects, Mr. Harrison poured his very soul into the simple lines so expressive of what life had been to him. Refused Part at First "The visible audience in the studio was spellbound and transfixed by the master's wizardry as he expressed the depth of feeling in the little poem—spellbound by the marvelous voice which later, was to thrill hundreds of thousands of persons in the play starring Mr. Harrison. It was about this time that Marc Connelly was seeking some one to portray the role of "De Lawd" in "The Green Pastures." He heard of Mr. Harrison through friends, it is reported, and immediately sought him to take the part in the play. At first, Mr. Harrison was loath to accept the part. His unwillingness was due to the fact that a portrayal of the Lord bordered on the sacrilegious. Fearful that he would offend some of his powerful church friends, Mr. Harrison firmly refused to consider taking the part. Rewrote Role However, Connelly insisted and persisted until Mr. Harrison capitulated. But it was not until he had read and reread the lines he was to read that Mr. Harrison decided to do the part. Even then he insisted upon rewriting the role, making it as it was heard upon the countless stages where it was given. And even then, the noted reader was not fully determined to take the part but the producer could find no one else who suited him as did Mr. Harrison. Letter perfect in his readings, possessed of a remarkable voice over which he had equally as remarkable control. Harrison was the one man to fill the role cannily. Reached Highest Peak And in consenting, Mr. Harrison created a role which will live long in the history of the theatre. Many stories are told of his reception on Broadway, but it remains a fact that he is the only actor appearing on Broadway who never received a bad notice from any critic. His majestic bearing, his fine character shone brightly throughout every part of the show and assured him to the highest prince of the theatredom. In this particular role, he was to the manor born. Wanted to Retire Friends know that as far back as a year ago, the aged actor wanted to retire because he was tired, but he was prevailed upon to continue with the show and carry on. And as Mr. Harrison often said, he continued in the production because the world needed that particular show. Dr. Channing H. Tobias once said that "one Richard B. Harrison receiving the adulation of the world as he was, was worth more to the race than one thousand indignation meetings." Two things carried Mr. Harrison on through the hardships which had taxed less hardy souls—the desire to serve his race and the fact that his working made it possible for his invalid wife to have the comforts of life in her declining years. The last time your correspondent heard Mr. Harrison was at a Y.M.C.A. dinner, where with Louise Beavers and Noble Sissle, many had joined to celebrate a campaign victory. As the dinner was nearing its end, Mr. Harrison escorted by Henry C. Parker, Jr. entered the banquet hall and modestly took a seat at the end of the table. An ovation was accorded him when he was introduced by the chairman. Slowly Mr. Harrison arose and beamed as he hesitated momentarily awaiting the applause to die down, then he uttered the simple words, "De Lawd always has a good word for this branch of the Y.M.C.A."

Kiddies at Armstrong Like "Under the Lilacs" A dramatized story, dear to the hearts of American youth was presented to the children of Washington last Saturday afternoon at the Armstrong Auditorium. The play, "Under the Lilacs," one of a series sponsored by the Children's Theatre Group of the Community Committee of the local Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., made a big hit with the young audience. "Under the Lilacs" was written by that, most charming of all children's authors, Louisa May Alcott, and was acted by the original cast of the Children's Theatre of New York under the direction of Clare Tree Major. It is a story of a boy, Ben, who ran away from a circus where he was mistreated when his father, one of the performers, disappeared. After travelling a long distance in company with his trick dog, Pancho, he finally came to a large mansion house. When Ben found the house locked, he secreted himself in the coach house for three whole days, watching the plays and doll-tea-parties of the two children, Babs and Betty, who live in a cottage behind the coach house. Ben is eventually discovered by the two girls whose mother, Mrs. Moss, feeds him, clothes him, and secures him a job with the Squire of the village. Babs and Betty are delighted to share their mother with Ben.

Dunbar has captured a prize gain year for the past three Cella and Thorny, a brother and sister who live in the big house return home. Cella who has a heart as big as her house, invites Ben to live with her family. Soon afterwards Ben learns that his father is dead, and is broken-hearted. Then, a circus visits the next town, and Bab, who has been thrilled by Ben's tales of circus life, follows him to see the performers. While there, Pancho is stolen from Bab, and Ben says he will never forgive her for her carelessness. Eventually, Pancho is found by Betty, Ben's father returns and finds a job, the play ends as it began—with a tea party "Under the Lilacs." The play was exciting from beginning to the end, and all of the audience—big folk, middle-sized folk, and little folk—all responded with noisy and whole-hearted enthusiasm. Pancho, a really and truly, alive trick dog was the bliz hero of the play. However, a fair share of the spot-light was given to the dollies at the tea party, and recognition shown the charming acting of Bab and Betty, Cella and Thorny, Ben and Ben's father, and other members of the cast. When, in the last scene, Ben manipulated a Punch and Juicy show for an itinerant showman, the audience was wild with relight—it was a play within a play.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SAYS HUBBY BLACKENED HER EYE Mrs. Thaddie Mitchell Asks Divorce of Mate Who Beat Her John Mitchell, 27, a janitor at George Washington University, was named defendant in a suit for limited divorce and maintenance, filed late last week by his wife, Mrs. Thaddie V. Mitchell, 25, 737 Euclid Street, Northwest, in the District Supreme Court. The couple, married in Orangeburg, S. C., in March, 1928, came to a parting of the ways when a blackened eye, allegedly administered by the hesband, culminated a series of rifts between Mitchell and his wife. Fought Over "Other Woman" The attack, the wife complains in her petition, took place last August when she objected to her husband bringing into their home a woman with whom she was informed he had been keepng company. Mrs. Mitchell states that prior to that clash, she and Mitchell had had some difficulty getting along when he began staying away from home late at nights. During the latter part of 1932, the petitioner avers, the husband began to grow indifferent and abusive. This was followed by his refusal to come home at reasonable hours, sometimes remaining away from his wife and child, a five-and-a-half-year-old girl, all night, merely stopping by as he was on his way to work the following morning. Mrs. Mitchell declares that she is able to earn only $3 per week doing part time work and that her husband receives a salary of approximately $75 monthly.

Average FIVE QUESTIONS FOR STUDENTS TO ANSWER Because of a letter signed "Teacher" which we published last week, wherein the writer stated that her class (or was it "this" class?) was looking forward to the weekly appearance of "Average," this week's questions will deal with the conduct of school-age readers. If you can place the letter "N" (meaning "no") in the box before each question, each "N" will be equivalent to 20 points. How high can you score? □ Do I frequent places where I should not like to have my parents know that I go? □ Do I take my schooling seriously, realizing that the happiness of my future depends greatly or how much I put into my studies? □ Am I possessor of enough personal pride to feel asumed of any thoughtless rowdyism that I may indulge in? □ Am I in school because, I want to learn rather than being there because I am compelled to go? □ Will I prove to my parents that the sacrifice that they make to send me to school will not be in vain? The readers of the Tribune are requested to send in five questions to appear in this column. Parents should have their children read this series of questions.

GEORGETOWN GAS LIC Local Children's Institute A coming in from last Saturday morning a group of "Under the Library" by the Children's Institute at the Amsthong High School and institution was the appearance of the Couille Lucie Nickerson of the Howard University Conservatory of Music as the guest speaker. Mika Nickerson discussed the desirability of founding a permanent Children's Theatre in Washington so that the young people of the city could not only see good plays but could learn to act in them. The speaker also delighted her young audience with a realistic demonstration of the differences and likenesses in the development of the drama and the opera. Miss Nickerson was received with noisy acclaim by the children, many of whom have at some time come under her care as the director of the children's department of the Conservatory. Monroe P-T Association in Weekly Meet The Monroe Parent-Teacher Association held it regular weekly meeting at the Monroe School Tuesday night. Mrs. J. Russell, truant office of Divisions 10-13, was the principal speaker. Her subject was "Problems Facing Parents." Completion of plans for the Fathers' Night program to be held next month and the adoption of a new constitution occupied the remainder of the evening. The club entertained 100 hun- dred guests at the home of Mrs. C. Gibson, 1753 Willard Street, Northwest Mr. Hyde Witerdon won first prize at cards The Hickory Urge STREAM LINE WHIST CLUB Young Men's Department Organized at Y.M.C.A. A group of young men, representing all sections of the city, meet at the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A. under the leadership of Franklin Thorne and organized a Young Men's Department. For many years the Y.M.C.A. along with other character-building agencies, has recognized the weakness of its program in reaching young men between the ages of 18 and 25 years. The newly formed Young Men's Department will work to develop a religious, social, educational, civic and physical program which will enable young men to prepare themselves for full and effective participation in life. The group organized two temporary clubs. One under the leadership of William McNeil and the other under John R. Pinkett, Jr. The personnel of the clubs is as follows: Club A—William McNeil, temporary chairman; Robert Briggs, James Brock, James Brown, Osborne Chisley. Ptolemy Corbiere, DuBois Curtis, Joseph Curtis Carl Fearing, Mallory Goins, Julian Harrison, Robert Jones, Reginald Matthews, Rowland Pennington John Stanton, William Thomas, Ralph Tignor. Club B—John R. Pinkett, Jr., temporary chairman; Carl Blakey, James H. Carpenter, Paul N. Douglass, Arthur Fearing, Josiah Hill, Jr., Milton Hill, Torrance McMorris, James I. Minor, Jr., Sylvester Moore, Charles C. Reed, Howard N. Ury, Kenneth Weaver. Are You Lonely? DON'T GROW ALONE Then join the WASHINGTON SOCIAL CLUB!

WEEK ENDING MARCH 23, 1935 The Strongest Argument The present sensational disclosures in the police department involving "deals" and proposed changes due to political pressure is the strongest argument against placing the Board of Education and the public school system under the District Commissioners. Proponents of the measure advocating the appointment of the Board of Education by the commissioners point out that nothing of the sort could happen if the board members were appointed by the commissioners. If it can happen in the police department it is evident that the same thing will happen in the schools. One can imagine the chaos and corruption if the school officers were selected by politicians, instead of the present system of naming this group by the justices of the Supreme Court. The citizens of Washington are perfectly right in opposing the change, especially every effort should be made to prevent placing the school board under the thumb of politicians whose chief concern is to secure patronage for constituents and increase their own power. Let us make sure that there is to be no "gentlemen's agreement" in the conduct of the public schools.

An Opportunity The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has an excellent opportunity to do a great service not only to Washington, but to the entire country. The association as well as other leaders in the community are invited to appear before the present House District Crime Committee. The taking of testimony will last for several more weeks. Not only is crime being investigated, but the various activities of the police and courts are being given a searching probe. The local branch of the NAACP has the records in most police brutality cases that should be given to the committee. The system of excluding Negroes from jury service and the hundred and one injustices inflicted on members of the Negro race in the courts should be presented to the committee by the one organization here that has made a study of the situation. The NAACP is beginning its drive for support and as usual the press will be asked to donate to this cause. The biggest publicity the association could possibly get just now is to take an active part in the crime investigation and present the Negro's side of the picture and the many hardships he has suffered in his contacts with police and the courts.

"The Green Pastures," based on the Just a few hours before The Tribune went to press last week, came the announcement of the death of Richard B. Harrison, star and leading man in "The Green Pastures," a Marc Connelly production acclaimed the outstanding play of this generation. Mr. Harrison had appeared in the role of "De Lawd" more than 1,600 times, dropping out on account of an illness which proved fatal. "The Green Pastures," based on the overdrawn and fantastic conception of Southern Negro life, by Roark Bradford, assumed to present the Negro idea of Heaven—strongly resented by many of our people, banned in Great Britain as sacril gious, the play reached heights of popularity unequalled for many years. The search for an actor to fill the role of "De Lawd" was long and painstaking; to find some trained performer possessed of the genius to conceive, and the talent to present in acceptable manner this astounding portrayal of "God" seemed hopeless. The producer selected 66-year-old Richard B. Harrison, an amateur dramatic reader who had never appeared on the so-called legitimate stage. The unbroken chorus of approval from critics of the highest rank, the long run in New York and the hinterlands proclaimed the Harrison rendition collossal, superb; and now at his death the Metropolitan press unite in crowning Richard B. Harrison one of the foremost actors of all time. His brief career is an epoch in race history—his passing a definite milestone in our struggle onward and upward. To Negro actors his success is a pricesless inspiration to carry on in what had seemed a losing battle to win a place in the sun of the theatrical achievements. Richard B. Harrison takes his well won place in the Hall of Fame. Success came late in life. To him, but all too shortly came the plaudits due the victor. To those of us who knew and loved him, and to all of us he leaves a The Race Problem (The following is an open letter dated March 11, that was written to Richard B. Harrison while he was ill in New York. Although Mr. Harrison has died since that time, we feel that the letter should be given to our readers.—Editor) March 11, 1935 Mr. Richard B. Harrison, New York City, N.Y. Mr. dear Mr. Harrison: I was very much distressed to read in the public press that because of illness you were compelled to forego the role of "De Lawd" in "The Green Pastures" which you had played continuously since the organization of the company. Here is hoping your speedy recovery to your former robust health and strength. I was very much distressed to read in the public press that because of illness you were compelled to forego the role of "De Lawd" in "The Green Pastures" which you had played continuously since the organization of the company. Here is honing your speedy recovery to your former robust health and strength. I recall vividly the days when we used to meet in different parts of the country upon the same general mission—I to inform and enlighten the people through lecture and didactic discourse, and you, through readings and dramatic recitals. At that time it was impossible to predict the glorious future which lay ahead of you. Through some good chance or happy accident, you were inducted into the leading role of "The Green Pastures" which you have made famous, and which in turn has made you famous throughout the nation, and indeed, throughout the world. Your name easily takes rank with the great actors of our time. Although I am wishing you speedy recovery I can hardly say that I would like to see you that role again. The work is complete. Your task is finished. To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, or tint the sunset is a wasteful and ridiculous excess. You have demonstrated to the world that art rises above race and color, class and caste. Green Pastures is but an epitome of the Bible which in turn, is but a picture of the Hebrew soul turned wrong side out. Think of a Negro cast portraying Hebrew traits and character better than God's chosen themselves could do. The simple, unsophisticated nature of the Negro constitutes the best medium and soul stuff upon which could be imprinted the primitive lesson which God had to impart to the human race. Your interpretation of Green Pastures is a convincing instance of the function and mission of art as a solvent of complex and aggravating social problems. I am convinced that Roland Hayes in the domain of music, and Richard B. Harrison in mimic art, have done more towards a solution of our vexed race problems than all of the discussions and agitation since Emancipation.

To relieve men of their prejudices they must be approached on the blind side. Forthright condemnation and direct denunciation have never made men more humane or Christ-like. By lifting all men upon the Mount of Transfiguration through art, and song and story, they will be brought closer together in one ennobling brotherhood than by quarrelling with them about their imperfection at its base. Music and art not only have charms to soothe the savage breast but to rob humanity of its savagery. You will doubtless recall when you were playing in Washington, I had you meet a number of friends at dinner. At that time the segregation of Negroes in the theatre was a raging question. The ardent agitators warned you not to appear at any house which seated its patrons by race. My philosophy is and was that the function of the artist is to perform his art and let those who will or may come to see and hear. He has nothing to do with local sentiment and seating arrangements. If any feel their sensibilities are wounded by such distinctions, they have the God-given right to stay away. But with the performer, the play is the thing. I wrote a release to this affect some years previously when a similar predicament confronted Roland Hayes. You agreed with my philosophy. You have taken your cast through the South and have performed to hundreds of audiences and touched scores of thousands of hearts and have made them all feel more kindly, and think more sympathetically of their fellow citizens different in color from themselves. You have carried the ministry of art purifying the spirit and ennobling the souls of men even of this pervert and prejudiced day and generation. You have built better than you knew, and great is your reward in the esteem of your fellow men.

Give us back Oscar DePriest, says this writer, To the Editor: Before finally, and accidentally, reaching his goal, Arthur W. Mitchell was as you and I an ordinary Negro, fighting race prejudices and other evils with which we are faced. That was in dear old Alabama years ago. Today, folks, Mr. Mitchell represents the first Congressional District of Illinois — very dizzy heights for a man who is not capable of keeping his head the same size as it was before he stumbled upon the position he now holds. Such a man is the Alabama native, who swears he intends to "fight right back" at the newspapers—"those lying newspapers." Somewhere in Washington is a newspaper man who knows that Mr. Mitchell meant what he said. The man, whose name escapes me, was the victim of Lil' Arthur's hard right fist. Oscar DePriest had his faults and he left a lot of things undone, but no one can truthfully deny that the Old Master tried and tried hard. Mr. Mitchell has made more errors in three months' time than did Mr. DePriest in four years. Arthur W. Mitchell has conducted himself in such a way as to make even Mr. DePriest's enemies cry: "Give us back our Oscar!" WILLIE J. DODSON.

Oh sisters, brothers, you of ducky skin, Martys of childist tempers of my race Your tears and laughter equal pathos sing And accusations seem to peer at me Out of great deep eyes, so insecure Uprooted from the soil where you belonged And rudely driven to an endless toil By men so blinded by their wild desire For gold, that they failed to pause awestricken Before the human souls, which they had crush- ed And when after some years of suffering The law had freed you from their tyranny Like pampered children whose mother had ceased To wait on them, these "masters of the world" Turned on you with snarling violence. They may abuse you, humiliate you. Keep you in ignorance, and impotence A while, but they can't destroy the rhythm Of eternal life within your veins.

Oh, do forgive me, you beloved ones, That I was born white.... MEMPHIS, Tennessee, (Ey Robert M. Radcliffe for tANP) — Judge Harry B. Anderson of the Federal Court scored for the Negro race Saturday in his address to the regions Junior Chamber of Commerce. "Give the Negro proper playground and recreational opportunities and there will be fewer criminals," he told the large gathering of white men. Speaking the whole truth and depicting a vivid picture of the southern colored man, the popular Federal Judge said, "We have a great many young Negro criminals and this is not surprising. The fact that there is not more is surprising, and it is due chiefly to the inherent honesty of the Negro character. "Go over any southern city and you will see playgrounds and swimming pools to help form the character of the Italian and Polish and other boys of foreign-born parents, but the Negro, essentially American, is without playgrounds. And because there are no particularly civilizing influences for the Negro, robbing boxears becomes his idea of 'wholesome fun' and 'sport.' And the white man buys the stuff he steals." The outstanding part of the occasion is that Judge Anderson's address was heard by none but white people. In his dramatic deliverance, he declared that the only two subjects of which the Negro has absolute mastery are a mule and the Southern white man. He challenged the oft-repeated assertion that the white man understands the colored brother. "No white man really understands the Negro, but the Negro understands the white man thoroughly," the judge pointed out. "And there is so much inherent good in the Negro that the white man ought to strive to bring out the best in him instead of the worst." Judge Anderson observed that craps, originally the colored man's chief sport, had become "the great American pasttime," and the white man had pushed the Negro entirely out of the policy racket. The Federal Judge is well known to many of Memphis' colored citizens. He was among the first to deliver an address to a LeMoyne College graduating class, accepting the invitation of Prof. Frank Sweeney, president of the local college. "De Lawd" "De Lawd" Richard B. Harrison, the 70-year-old actor, who won fame as "De Lawd" in the play "The Green Pastures," has answered the last curtain call and has taken his final bow. However the name of Harrison will go down in the annals of history as one of the greatest chracters of all time. In many cities, Washington included, colored admirers of the actor were not permitted to see the play unless they submitted to segregation. A delegation of Washington leaders pleaded with Harrison not to play here, but the star insisted that his art knew no color line, the play was the thing as far as he was concerned and his part was to give the world his best and the various local conditions that forced separation of the races was not his problem, yet he sympathized with his people who were refused permission to see the play. Many did not agree with the actor and he was censured for his attitude. Harrison shed tears when he was advised of the situation in Washington. He said his greatest ambition was to play under ideal conditions before his people in the Nation's Capital. Whether one believed he was right or not, Harrison was sincere in his belief and gave to the world the best that he had. After all one is not certain whether Harrison did not do more to break down racial prejudice and create a better understanding between the races by carrying his play to the white audiences of the South than he would have accomplished if he had heeded the pleading of his race and refused to play segregated houses or confine his art to strictly Negro audiences. Pork and Greens Harlem's Chief Food The New York Department of Markets has recently made an investigation of the food habits of Harlem, and in an article in the March Opportunity, Viola Gleen, expert dietitian, tells the findings of this study. Pork and greens, she says, constitute the chief elements of the Negro's diet in Harlem and she gives the reason why. All in all, Miss Gleen maintains that the stories of matnutrition among Negroes in Harlem are not based on fact, and she insists that Harlem's Negroes have a balanced diet. She pays great tribute to the skill of Negro housewives in cookery and the variety of dishes which Negro cooks have been able to evolved from cheap and low cost foods. The West Indian Negro in Harlem, Miss Gleen asserts, does not have what might be called a balanced diet because of the difficulty in adjusting his food habits to the produced available in American markets. It is still true that charity begets charity and mercy begets mercy. See? Pickens Says --- By WILLIAM PICKENS For the Associated Negro Press In Brockton, Mass., several little boys tied two other little boys to a tree, gathered some tinder, lighted it and burned them. One of the victims was burned to death. They say that the boys were playing "injun." How do we know that they were not flavoring their ideas with notions about lynching also? The play of children is always but a mimicry of the actions, the work or the wars, of adults. It is always the instinct of children to imitate their elders. The toy-makers know that well enough: toys always take the shape and form of whatever is for the moment the vogue, or the rage among adults: motor cars, fire engine, air-planes, horses, dogs, guns, battleships. It has happened more than once that little boys in America have played at lynching: they have hung each other to posts or trees and death or serious injuries have resulted in a number of these cases. This is a serious matter: nature makes children very imitative as a condition of their survival. For nature assumes that adults will be acting for the most part in self-defense and in obedience to self-preservation, and makes children imitative, in their inexperience, so that they will copy these saving ways. But when bad examples are set before these children, nature is cheated and her intention perverted. Perverseness and crime in adults are also copied by the innocents, just as faithfully and perhaps even more interestedly because of the thrill. The greatest objective of all reformative efforts therefore should be the defense of the children, the protection of their right to be led into progressive morals and civilization. A little child of the south, after witnessing the hanging and shooting of a lynch-victim, remarked: "Now, I have seen one hung! I could' just see one burned, oh ghee!" When Booker: T. Washington read of the remark of this little white child, he wrote sadly: "I'd feel that I would almost rather see my little child dead than to hear it make a serious remark like that!" Wild Seeds in Fertile Soil Such an attitude of mind is far more dangerous in a child, because it has before it almost infinite possibilities of development: master criminals, like saints and master scientists, usually have the seed of destiny sown, into their minds at an early age. Who can trace the connection between our organized gangs of criminals and the long-standing example of our unorganized and amorphous mobs? Are not Capones and the Dillingers the spiritual progeny of lynchers of a fifty-year period? They all have the same basic principle and motive: to beat the law, that the law can be beaten and disregarded,—and to get what one wants in spite of law. And the same elements of savage and deliberate cruelty sustain both classes of actors. The play of children is a minicry of the adult life and activities. All the greater reason for passing a national anti-lynch law, in the highest legislature in the country, to put the moral stamp of severe disapproval on the most spectacular and the most corrupting crime in the civilized world. --- Hints on TUBERCULOSIS Hints on TUBERCULOSIS By T. THEO PARKER Children and youths are more exposed and susceptible to tubercular infection than adults. To prevent the disease, constant and watchful care of parents, guardians, teachers and physicians must be exercised over the health of these little people. A few suggestions for the care of children follows: 1. Keep child well nourished. 2. Give full bath three times weekly. 3. Eight to ten hours sleep every night. 4. Bed-room well ventilated. 5. Keep fingers from mouth and nose during the day. 6. Never hold pencils, money, pins or marbles in the mouth. 7. Always wash hands and mouth before eating. 8. Avoid playing in mud or wading in swamps. 9. Never wipe nose on the hand nor on the sleeves. 10. If cough or nasal discharge develops, put child to bed and give warm drinks. Hot milk best. 11. After 24 hours, if nasal discharge continues, consult physician who understands nose and throat work. 12. Have child's eyes, ears, nose, throat and spine examined twice yearly by an expert. Questions on this subject will be answered in these columns by addressing the writer in care of the Washington Tribune. Why should Negroes be worrying about who eats with them, or who doesn't? There are things more vital to the race than eating with somebody. When are we going to get rid of this inferiority complex? BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL National and Race Progress Through Progressive Education Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES The writer of this column can and will not write anything detrimental to the best interests of colored people or to the present administration. The statement above is written as an explanation to readers who have sent me material for publication which, after analysis, I felt reflected upon not only Negro Federal employees but upon the President and certain members of Congress. So much for that. Negro Federal employees are among the ones hardest hit by the closing of five night schools on April 1 because of a lack of several thousand dollars in the District's right school appropriation. White schools are not faced with the same problem, as they have few night elementary students compared with the number of colored students. The few Negro Federal employees who, by luck, the grace of God, and extraordinary keen budgeting, own automobiles will be interested in knowing that working hours in thirteen Government departments will be changed April 15, in conformance with a "staggered hours" program to relieve traffic congestion in the downtown area. A complete account of this will appear in next week's column. John W. (Commerce Dept.) Charleston would have you know that the next meeting of the District Department will be held on Friday, March 22, at the Hamilton Hotel. That little innocent appearing notice has behind it a world of significance, the import of which I am going to ask George (Coast and Geodetic Survey) Rycraw to explain in next week's column. Representative William O. Sirovich, whose omnibus civil service reform bill is approved by this writer almost in its entirety, is credited by the Washington Post of March 12 with two statements with which I concur wholeheartedly. The first was: "The Federal employee who does not belong to a union is anti-social" and "I would like to see the day when every Government worker belongs to the American Federation of Government Employees." By CHARLES M. THOMAS The recent meeting of the Banncker Club, composed of teachers of mathematics of the colored local high schools, which met at the Garnet-Patterson building, indicates a trend among some members of the local school system, that means much to community, race and nation. There has been a decided reduction in the number of pupils studying mathematics and a decline in the number succeeding in it, thus raising the question as to any apparent or real weakness in the Negro in this capacity. These teachers met to consider the probable causes, and called the writer to present his conclusions, from experiments, long experience and research. So much depends upon movements similar to this in our professional growth in self-respect, and in mastery of the problems placed before us by the community that some of the observations are set before the public which is interested both as tax-payer, and as direct beneficiary in civic, race and national advancement. Teachers as Important People Some sixty research reports on differences in economic status, population—distribution, racial strains, criminal tendencies, city and rural dwellings, adequate school facilities, contacts for culture and intelligenceJ stimulus, and occupation distribution have been examined. The conclusions are of vital interest not only to our group, but of vital interest to us, and must be brought before the attention of the nation, and of the states. In a racial group cut off from so many general social contacts, the teachers of our children and youth, are called upon both to create and supplement the deficient environment; for mind is the reaction to society, inferred from behaviour, of which language and mathematics are but a few forms. It was not without meaning that the fathers placed such stress upon general education for the perpetuity of the democracy. Teachers of Negro children have both a strategic opportunity and a national importance not yet grasped by the profession as a whole. Public education has a function both in the salvation of this nation and the solution of its economic and political difficulties, not yet appreciated. A researcher reports: "City Negroes, with raised cultural-intellectual status, as a class, are not reproducing themselves, but are being swamped by rural Negroes from the South who are high in fertility." Rural groups, for many reasons connected with the nature of mind as a result of society, are found to be lower in intellectual status than city-dwellers, and high in the number of children they produce, tending to migrate to cities. Our teachers are forced to meet these conditions, but no technique, and little administrative recognition has been given to them. Only the upper quartile of student often gets the attention, and only the teacher gets the recognition who deals with such favored groups. Teachers who face the facts and meet the conditions are overlooked for those who follow the lead of the dominant groups. Only a faithful few "Let down the bucket where they are." Differences in Background Noted Not only are there differences between city and rural dwellers in culture-intellectual status, but differences between every strain in our population, and between individuals. Though lip-service is given to individual differences, Negroes in general are not inclined to hear of any racial differences. Few are broad enough to recognize the balance in qualities other than those rated in the school subjects of the older type, language, arithmetic, geography, history and the like. No opportunity is given for display of other types of mind, hence the fault is not with the measure, but with the yard-stick used to measure the mind. French differs from German and English social patterns, Abyssinian differs from Italian, hence America's differs from all in including all, and the public school system is designed to smooth out those difficulties by means of the national social pattern existing here. But rural, remote, peasant types differ markedly from city-dwelling folks, and professional and clerical differ from labor and industrial occupations, rich from poor environments, and specialized schools from cosmopolitan. Therefore, not until the social inequalities are remedied, may we expect anything like uniformity, Teachers, meanwhile, must constantly revise methods and create culture-situations by which to arouse the behaviour we know as mind. The necessity for doing this, and the opportunity to study the best methods of achieving it, make teachers the most important people in American national progress today. Huey Long's Promises A review of what Senator Huey Long's "Share the Wealth" program has accomplished in Louisiana, the state over which he has exercised such dictatorial control for several years, reveals: That the court and civil authorities of the state were used to break the strike of the longshoremen and to defeat the efforts of the A. F. of L. to end conditions of virtual peonage in the Lane Cotton Mills, the largest in the state, according to the N. Y. Post of March 9. He condoned the use of National Guardsmen and a concentration camp to break the struggle of the textile workers for a better share of the national wealth which he promises to redistribute. The Louisiana State Legislature, under Long's control, passed 44 bills in 2 hours and 22 minutes. The Associated Press reports that many of them were not even read. In Long's state no move has been made to ratify the child labor amendment, or to enact old-age pensions, minimum wage, or unemployment insurance laws. To win elections, Long has used the National Guard, ripper legislation, and laws to void indictments for stealing ballot boxes.

Club guests were: William Burrell and Kermit Ross. James Friskin, Pianist Thrills H. U. Audience By Tribune Staff Correspondent. 'Twas Tuesday evening of last week. There was singing on Rankin's roof top. Tiny raidrops made monotone notes in a pittery song. On Rankin's stage there was singing too. But the song was full of melody, as the tuneful notes of a grand piano rose or fell; trembled or steadied themselves; shouted beyond the housetop or died completely away in a last lilting bit of sweetness under the magic touch of a nimble-fingered artist. James Friskin, of the Julliard Institute, New York, the fifth artist in the Howard University School of Music Concert series was showing an enthusiastic audience the beauty that expert musicianship brings from piano keys. Bach is evidently Mr. Friskin's favorite as "English Suite in F major" (Bach) proved the artist's choice offering. His Bethoven was magnificently done, "Sonata in C major" receiving a big hand. The musician was forced to take many bows. But at the conclusion of the program the audience demanded more than more bows. They asked for more Bach, more Ravel, more Schubert, more Medelssohn, more anything. So the obliging Mr. Friskin gave encore after encore. Among them was the "Barcolle" (Choppin). Among those present were Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, Mrs. E. H. Aflan, Mr. William D. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baskerville, Miss Alice Bell, Mrs. Theodore Bethel, Mr. Henry Binford, Mrs. Frances Washington Clubs Washington Clubs The club held its weekly meeting at Mitchell Dorsey's residence, 1824 Tenth Street, Northwest, Thursday, and completed plans for its initial complimentary dance.

JOHNSON N.Y. Pastor Says Same IS ENDORSED Crowd at H.U. Chased BY ICKES Other Presidents Away EIGHT Secretary Says Complainers Never Produced Facts of "Turmoil" (Associated Negro Press) Secretary Harold L. Ickes of the United States Department of the Interior stepped squarely behind the administration of Dr.Mordaei Johnson, president of Howard University, in an address delivered in the "Cabinet room" of the Wizard Hotel here Wednesday evening, on the occasion of the second annual dinner given by Assistant Secretary Oscar G. Chapman of the Interior Department, for the officers and faculty of Howard. Speaking before a mixed audience of some fifty persons comprising the deans and professors of the various colleges in the university, their wives and several white friends, Mr. Ickes in his characteristically vigorous and outspoken manner said: Backs Johnson "I am for President Johnson. He is doing an excellent job under very difficult conditions. He is deserving of our gratitude. "Howard university," he continued, "is a splendid institution. It has achieved magnificently, and is destined to be still greater in the future. The man who holds the helm of an institution of the size and scope of Howard is certain to have many problems to beset him. If I felt that Dr. Johnson had done anything wrong, I would have called him in long ago and told him so face to face. Committee Fails to Produce Committee Fails to Produce "One of the first groups which called on me when I assumed office as secretary of the interior department, which administers Howard for the government, was a committee which came to talk to me about President Johnson. This committee, described him as a quite terrible man who was pursuing a policy which they complained would tear Howard down. I told the members of the committee to bring in their specifications. They have not produced them vet. Should Be Grateful "Of course, President Johnson has made mistakes. Who hasn't? I make them. If any of my subordinates commit errors in the interior department they usually are charged to me. President Johnson is in the same position. His critics have seized upon issues which are groundless and with which Dr. Johnson has had nothing whatsoever to do. "I think we all ought to be grateful that Howard University has a president of the calibre of Mordecai Johnson. I bespeak for him your devoted and unqualified support." Secretary Ickes's statement concerning President Johnson was deemed of especial significance in view of recent charges respecting the misuse of government funds at the university and the general belief that the secretary has placed the blame at the feet of V. D. Johnston, university treasurer. Called "Honest Mistakes" Several months ago, it was charged that $545 of government lumber had been used to construct a private home for the president of the university; that the university expended nearly $30,000 on a federal alotment of $98,811 for 31 specific projects, on unspecified projects, that some of this money was also used on privately owned properties and that the university violated the PWA wage rates and hours of labor requirements in the use of the money. A special investigation was made by Samuel Taylor, an attorney in the Public Works Administration. In his report, Mr. Taylor completely exonerated President Johnson and traced the irregularities to "honest mistakes" made by Treasurer Johnston in the use of the funds and to a faulty system of inventory.

Rose, Howard University graduate and pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Rochester, N.Y., wrote a letter to Secretary Harold L. Lickes, of the Interior Department, flaying Dr. Miller for claiming that in opposing the administration of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson he (Dr. Miller) represented the alumni of the university. Dr. Rose's letter in part to Secretary Lickes follows: retary leeches tofollows: I have just heard that Baltimore paper parted with a letter which was written to you by Prof. Kelly Miller, former dean at Howard University, in which he condemns the administration of President Mordecai W. Johnson, and in doing so claims to speak for the more than 600 of that institution. In writing this letter to you I wish to state at the outset that I am a graduate of Howard University two departments, and hostes, hold the honorary degree of doctor of divinity, and hold the honorary degree of doctor of divinity, and that one of the things I learned while there was to permit no man to speak for me whenever it was possible for me to speak for myself. I therefore strongly protest against Dear President Mordecai W. Johnson's sentiments concerning Dr. Johnson and his administration of affairs as the president of Howard University. Others Chased Away In entered Howard University in 1907 just after President Gordon had been chased away from that institution, and was there for six years, throughout the admonition of the Board of Trustees Thickell, and left while Dr. Stephen Merrill Newman was president. Ever since graduation I have kept, more or less in the same position, personally acquainted with former President Durkee, who often came to Rochester to visit an uncle who lived here. Morrison W. Johnson was a classmate of mine at Howard University in Rochester; so I know him very well, too. Same Crowd Causes Trouble I have known Howard University long enough to know, therefore, that this aversion to Dr. Johnson is not specific. It is to a certain extent characteristic of a certain group around Washington, which through the years has opposed and fought MITCHELL BLOWS HOT AND COLD IN ATLANTA SPEECH Congressman Reverses Himself While Addressing Southern Audience ATLANTA, Ga. (By Jesse O. Thomas for ANP)—Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, guest speaker on the occasion of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Morris Brown University, as founder's day speaker, said both yes and no to the same proposition here last week. The meeting was held in the famous Big Bethel church on Auburn Avenue and Butler Street, and the congressman spoke to a capacity audience of 1,100 Atanta citizens. Represents His District "This country has been made to suffer all the time by the introduction of the color question," Mr. Mitchell asserted. "Pushing it in has always meant more harm than good. We have eventually got to get away from it." He reiterated his accustomed statement that he doesn't represent ten million Negroes. He represents the constituency of the First Congressional District of Elinois. "Go see your congressman," he advised, "Because I am a Negro is no reason why ten million Negroes should expect me to represent them. I am not going to draw the color line. Congressman DePriest didn't recommend a single white man from the Congressional District of Illinois to West Point or Annapolis. The white boys have just as much right to be represented from that district as Negroes." Hits N.A.A.C.P. He took a whack at the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, and criticized the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for its activities, which, according to Congressman Mitchell, itself has caused some 25 bills to be introduced. "We can't stop lynching by the enactment of anti-lynching bills," he insisted. "We have anti-murder bills and people are still killing; anti-larceny bills, and people are still stealing. Lynching will be stopped through Christian education." Lynching Takes Place Coincidentally, while the Congressman was speaking a Negro was being lynched by a mob in the school yard three miles east of Slayden, Miss. Following this advice, the congressman quickly reversed himself "I have introduced the best antilynch bill that has been introduced, and the only bill that is going to pass," the congressman confided. "I have introduced a bill creating a commission on Negro affairs." Throughout his address he followed this type of contradictory approach to the subject. He advised Negroes to look to their southern white friends for their salvation claiming that the northern white man did not understand the Negro. His best friends were here in the south, with whom he should work out his salvation.

They fought Gordon and got him out. They fought Thickfield, and he, too, found other fields of labor. They more or less had things their way, and they found it. He did, and so he returned to the ministry. With the going of Durkee the group thought it would get what it had all the time been fighting for in clamoring for a Negro as president. In this it was disfellowshipped and sent to first place, the Board of Trustees, this much slandered and vified Board of Trustees, sinned against the Holy Ghost in not selecting for president the individual the crown. And it in the second place small noisy and of the kind of presidents of Harvard University, soon learned to its dismay that it is not as easy to get rid of a Negro as president as it had been to get rid of one who is white. The reason for it is not difficult to understand. Called Dog in Manger There are many of us, of course not living under the shadow of the University, and going merryly on our way attending to our own business, and not wishing or trying to be the president of Howard University, but just as loyal to her as anyone else, we are not going to be the manager business which continually goes on down there in Washington. We go back there from time to time and we have nothing but praise for the great work Mordecal W. Johnson is doing there. We know something of his program for the university for years to come. And we do not know that he who would have you feel that Howard University has come to be what it is now almost in spite of Dr. Johnson. I would have you know, sir, that Dean Miller has had great influence over us Howard University students. Down through it, he has been many white men as presidents of Howard University and Kely Miller was our leader. It is not easy for us to take a stand against him now. But he is old now, much too old to be the president of Howard University even if he is qualified. He is even too old to see the parth which a man so eminently fitted as Dr. Johnson would take. It is pathetic. But I think there are hundreds and hundreds alumni all over the country who would take the same stand as I do against him. BY SAM LACY I don't know whether it's because the masculine representative of the combination is the "yes man" of the outfit—like in most successful marriages—or because there's a thorough understanding between them; at any rate Doloris and Bobbie get along right well together. In case you don't catch the drift just yet, I suppose it's up to me to "do the honors." Well, Doloris and Bobbie are the principals in the sensational girl and boy dancing act so familiar to theatre-goers and vaudeville-lovers, she of the shaggy hair, shapely limbs and agile frame; he of the nimble feet pleasing smile and hardy torso. Introducing Wade and Wade. The writer ran up on the pair as they were snatching a minute to eat—some stage folks still do that you know. Seating himself as their table in Barksdale's Cafeteria, 1900 block Ninth St., N.W., one night recently, your man, Sam, sought to gather from these youths who have already attained greater heights than most stage folks with twice their years, the highlights of their careers. 20 Years for Him Robert Wade has been doing bits since he was seven years old. He is now 27. He recalls the good times he had 15 years ago when traveling the east and south with "Jack Wiggins and His 14 Dancing Fools." Twelve years of age but doing his chore along with full-fledged members of a veteran act, little Bobbie found life a bed of roses. Many a time, the lad admits, he has chuckled himself off to sleep chortling over the superior and far more colorful life he was leading than those of his cronies of the neighborhood back home. She Started at 4 Doris Wade will celebrate two anniversaries a few weeks hence. She will complete her nineteenth year on earth in May, at the same time completing her sixteenth year on the stage. The greatest thrill of her life she says, was felt a little over a year ago when she happened to get hold of a weekly paper in which a theatrical writer was lamenting the passing of the youthful prodigies. "What has become of the baby stars?" was the question asked by the writer who then proceeded to name several' of by-gone days. Among them was the name "Baby Doris." "Baby Doris," she confided to this reporter, was at that moment headlining in Lou Walter's Cascades Revue, from the Bedford Hotel Boston, doing a turn in Halifax, Nova Scotia. But these folks with whom she was traveling and before whom she was playing knew her as Doloris Wade of the famous team, Wade and Wade. Imagine! They Like D.C. Imagine they like B.C. Strangely enough Washington, the sore spot in the lives of most hardened theatrical people because of its cool, non-receptive attitude will always hold a charm for the youthful Wades—at least as long as he remembers to answer "ple, dear." Here's why: Bobbie met Doloris THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MARCH 23, 1935 H. U. BOARD ACTION IS DEFERRED Trustees Not to Make Report Until April Meeting Here The board of trustees of Howard University voted to defer all recommendations after hearing a report by a special committee on so-called PWA irregularities at the university. The special session was held in New York, Monday, and was presided over by Dr. George W. Crawford, acting chairman. Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman, recently resigned from the board. It was stated that no charges were preferred and the session was called to study a report of Secretary of Interior Ickes which alleged that certain PWA funds earmarked for certain purposes in the building program at Howard had been used for other projects. Ickes Praises Johnson In an earlier statement, Secretary Ickes made it plain that no dishonesty was involved and at a recent banquet in honor of university officials he expressed complete confidence in Dr. Mordecai Johnson and the administration. Board members stated that an official statement will not be released until after the annual meeting in Washington on April 9. Certain members of the board have been trying to oust Dr. Johnson as president; V. D. Johnston, treasurer, and E. S. Hope, superintendent of buildings and grounds. For some time the board has been split with the larger group supporting the administration.

They became ga-ga about one another while working the floor show at Club Prudhom, during the heyday of that once famous U Street hot-spot. It was there that they deserted the ranks of "singles," and joined up in a team routine. Prudhom Makes Match Bobbie and Doboris will tell you their act originated at the Prudbom and that the very first theatre they played thereafter was the Howard. And it was between these two places that the initial steps and finishing touches were put on their now famous "Nackie-Sackie" number. Bobbie takes no credit for this, their most successful effort. He readily admits the entire number was originated and touched up by his 19-year-old bride. "We Do" On March 16, 1932 (can you believe HE remembered the date) at Dover, New Hampshire, a kindly old person pronounced them and wished them well (Gawdblessim). The Wades have 11 acts and all of them are different. In this repertoire is a special joint lead they use in night club floor shows. And when one turns up sick the other just takes both parts. That's what happened a few days ago when illness interrupted their march upward. Two days before they were scheduled to go into the New York Cotton Club with Claude Hopkins and his revue, which supplanted Cab Calloway the first of March, Bobbie took sick. As a result they had to go on with their work at the Cotton Club here. A Tough Break No sooner had Bobbie recovered than Doliois became affected and had to idle. That revelation gave the reporter an idea. "And how do you find your wife as a substitute for you?" the writer asked Bobbie. "She's very good," he replied. Turning to the young lady the writer asked. "And how do you find your husband as a counterpart?" "There couldn't be any better." "There couldn't be any better," she answered. "Oh, deah!" from me. The Wades have a little girl. She makes her home in Baltimore with relatives. Hersef have a little dancing fool, her parents want her to be—of all things—a school teacher.

The woman agreed to pay the money back but when she met the man with the first installment of the money she was met by two Fifth Precinct policemen who arrested her.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men A lot of jonquils should go to Miss Bertha McNeil, Dunbar High School teacher, for the pretty man in which she presided over the a.a. luncheon affair that featured Mr. Caroline O'Day, Representative a.a. New York State, in an address. It titled "Peace Issues Before Congress." The occasion was a part of "The World Today," an institute, under tauuspices of the Women's Interna- tures of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, D.C. Branch. We're missing soft-voiced, sweet-faced Naomi's smiles these days. (Mrs. Naomi Dale McDowell). Her pretty eyes are sad and tear-bedmimed. Just the other day gentle hands wrapped a blanket of warm red roses about her father's body and laid him tenderly away. Our hearts are with you Naomi, dear and with your mother too. For a lot of us know what a grand man was Marcus (Marcus Dale of Nichols Avenue, S.E.). Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley, of 122 S Street, and vicarious Mrs. Gladys Green, wife of a Petersburg, Va physician, made a lovely mother-daughter combination at a recent smart affair. And speaking of mothers and their daughters, how about the way Mrs. Geneva Evans can almost double for her daughter. And every time you see these mothers and daughters together, don't you wish you had a kodak so you could walk right up and snan en? I do. Something happened to traffic on U Street the other day. It was really almost brought to a stand-still (at least for a single minute). And two pretty misses did it—with their little hats. Soft yellow hats they were. And the tresses that peeped from beneath 'em were lovely and dark, almost like the raven's wing. (And you know what an irresistible picture Milady makes when her skin is rich, her hair is dark, and the tint of her hat or gown is yellow). So when two popular Teachers' College co-eds (Helen Alston and Olga Gray) topped off their natty costumes with bewitching yellow hats and walked out the boulevard, green lights didn't mean a thing to most of us, for the only signs we saw said, "Stop a while and Look." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL S PRATTLE Ladies and old, Wonderful Men (wife of Lieut. Ernest Gaither, of 451 Q Street). Not only does she keep a corner in her heart for her many friends but she has a "Friendship Corner" in her home. Every single mottos whose lines he token friendship, finds a place in "Friendship Corner." The pretty verse you sent on her birthday, the ones her neighbor sent last Christmas. In their black or gold or silver frames and closely grouped together, they add a lot of beauty to Mrs. Gaither's parlor. I'm thinking though, that a time goes on and more people learn that a dear that girl LaVenne is, and more mottoes will be added, as soon she'll have, not a "Friendship Corner," but a whole "Friendship House." Appropos of Dr. Joe T. Thomas, of Cleveland and his Alaskan Colonization plan, one of my neighbors complains that the "Forty Belows" would end him in a minute. He says his favorite seat is the radiator shelf, and that the grandest words he ever heard his old landlady say were: "Dear Mr. Meek, you shall have more heat." The good man hasn't even decided which direction he will take when he leaves these mundane shores. (All we've ever heard though is that there's only one hot place, so here's hoping he decides to go up instead of down). A tale of three sisters. The first ran up to New York about six short months ago and the other day she wired back the words "I'm married now." The second (a smart little D.C. schoolma'm) has a flickering ring on the "proper" finger and is saying oh, so smilingly, "June will be O.K." The third sister's significant finger is also aglow with a pretty ring and this is what she says: "Any time soon will do." Three guesses (and I bet you'll miss). We've heard of finger rings and thimbles and even a dime or so in wedding cakes, but a pair of eye glasses in a lemon pie—well, a certain housewife can't locate her glasses. There's not a bit of doubt about it. She had those glasses on when she made that lemon pie. For she couldn't have read the recipe with her own unaided eyes. She has searched the place, both high and low, and called the neighbors to help, but she can't even find the rims. So if you see the husband of a popular Thirteenth Street school teacher chewing away, when hours for meals are over and you know he doesn't use gum or even tobacco, you can be sure he is trying to masticate the last of his wife's eye glasses.

(Oh, not the ones you fry, of course); but the pretty red and blue-green glass ones that you fasten to your dress. Miss Alma Smith, of Washington and Baltimore, had two red ones on the collar of her high-necked dress the other night. And what would otherwise have been just another dark blue figured jacket dress immediately hopped into the "smart creation" class when Alma fastened on the frogs. Say it softly because Dr. William T.

Suffrage of the ex-leaders of the District Department of the American Legion was removed because it was felt that a delegate's vote at the convention representing votes equivalent to fifty legionaires was detrimental to the rank and file of the American Legion because of the tremendous power which this vote placed in their hands. The resolution introduced by Past Commander Rice W. Means precipitated the heated debate which resulted in the taking away of the voting power of the past departmental commanders. "This resolution," said Commander Means, "does not cast any aspersions on the Past Department Commanders of this department. Each year another Commander enters into the ranks of the Past Department Commanders and each is given a vote as a delegate to this convention. Would Overbalance "If we wish to keep this a democratic body, the Past Departmental Commanders' vote must be taken away, or they will soon ever balance the votes of the rank and file of the American Legion Posts at the future conventions." Speaking in opposition to the amendment resulting from the resolution introduced by Past Departmental Commander Mehns, Dr. T. E. Jones, assistant surgeon of Freedman's Hospital, Past Commander of James E. Walker Post appealed to the convention to vote for the retention of the vote for the Past Departmental Commanders. He called the attention of the convention to the fact of the meritorious services rendered by these Departmental Commanders without any compensation or monetary consideration. Past Commander George Ryewraw, of the James Reese Europe American Legion Post, made a stirring speech, stating in detail the history of the work of the various Departmental Commanders past and present. He said, "I am very much surprised at the action of those who seek to deprive the Past Departmental Commanders of their vote in view of the civic, charitable and wonderful services rendered by these Department Commanders." One Vote Decides The final vote of the convention was close, the Past Departmental Commanders losing their right to vote in future conventions by a margin of one vote. The purpose of the special convention called by the District Department was to amend the constitution and revise the by-laws of the constitution of the Department of the District of Columbia.

WASHINGTON Flays Civic Groups and Doctors in Speech at Third Baptist Dr. Thompkins Urges United Fight to Curb High Death Rate Here Direct from a speaking tour of the South which included the States of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana, Dr. William J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds and former medical advisor of Kansas, launched a scathing attack on the sanitary and economic conditions among Negro citizens of Washington. Addressing the first quarterly conference of the Junior, Intermediate and Young People's Christian Endeavor Societies of the Third Baptist Church, Sunday, the Recorder renewed his fight for better health conditions in the city. It was his first public appearance since his southern tour and attracted a large congregation including delegations from the local Elk lodges. Deplores Infants Deaths Deploring the high infant death rate of Washington which was 500 last year, Dr. Thompkins said: "The condition existing here in this great city of culture and learning is deployable. There are no Neighborhood Nursing Stations where expectant mothers can go and receive care for herself during the trying period of her life. There are no places where they can prepare for the Little Strangers." The lack of such places in Washington was due to the failure of civic organizations' demands for health centers, Dr. Thompkins declared. The one clinic at Freedmen's Hospital is not enough for colored people, the Recorder said, for the economic condition here won't permit some of the people to pay the transportation costs to the institution three or four times a week. Dr. Thompkins also blamed the failure on the medical profession of Washington, claiming that doctors had stood by for 39 years without protesting to Dr. Fowler, recently resigned Health Commissioner of the District, for that many years. Only 90 Beds Dr. Thompkins cited the fact that only 30 beds are available at Gallinger Hospital for colored persons. "When they are filled," the Recorder charged, "they tell you that they have no place for you." Dr. Thompkins expressed confidence in the new health commissioner, Dr. Runland, formerly of New York, and declared that with the cooperation of church, civic and fraternal organizations a New Deal in health would be forthcoming. WOMEN ACCUSED IN HOSPITAL THEFT CASE SENTENCED 90-Day Sentences Meteed Out to Pair on Two Larceny Charges After pleading guilty to two charges of larceny, Mrs. Carrie Heath and Laura Lattimore, of the 400 block of Fifth Street, Southeast, were given sentences of 90 days in jail by Judge John J. McMahon in Police Court, Saturday morning. The larceny involved the theft of foodstuffs from Providence Hospital where the two were formerly employed. Dessie Heath, husband of the first woman, was held for action of the grand jury under $1,500 bond, last week, in connection with the same case. According to testimony of policemen, the women had been bringing food and other articles from the hospital for a period of weeks to their home where the man sold the foodstuffs to neighbors. When police went to the home of Mrs. Heath on investigation, they found a barrel of sugar, 30 pounds of butter, packages of coffee and kitchenware. --- Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING MARCH 23, 1935 Speaking about the economic condition of Negroes in the nation's capital, Dr. Thompkins declared that "if Negroes distributed their earnings as near as possible among Negroes, what a difference it would make in the economic life here." Comparing the local situation with the Southern Negro problem, the Recorder said "the Negro in the South is moving steadily forward because of segregation and prejudice."

BAR PROBES UNFAIR SELECTION OF JURORS Unfair methods in selecting jurors for service in the Supreme Court of the District is being investigated by a committee recently appointed by members of the Washington Bar Association. It is charged that colored persons are barred from service by a system that discloses the race of a prospector juror and gives the right of a selection to one person who is a member of the jury commission. Members of the bar point out that names should be taken from a box with the person making the selection blindfolded. William E. Taylor, of the Howard University Law School, is chairman of the committee. Other members are Edward P. Lovett, W. L. Houston, James C. Waters, Jr., Perry W. Howard and Richard W. Tompkins. The Tribune recently pointed out that few colored persons were called for jury service and many had applied and were rejected. Dolphin Case Postponed For Further Probe The sentence of Harry D. Dolphin, Roanoke, Va., lawyer, was postponed one week by Judge John J. M.

The Virginia bar member is said to be wanted in Roanoke on false pretence charges. Last week, Dolphin pleaded guilty to two counts of false pretenses involving the passage of bad checks in the District. He was held under $1,000 bond pending court sentence, and later, remanded to jail when he was unable to make bond. Attorney Timothy W. Fisher is representing the Virginia bar member. Four other charges of false pretenses against Dolphin were dropped by the District Attorney's office.

Miss Ellen Kelly Record in Sp Miss Ellen Kelly Makes New Record in Speed Typewriting Five months ago when the Cortez W. Peters School for Speed typewriting and Shorthand, at 1341 U Street, Northwest, began operation, it was announced by Mr. Peters, world's amateur champion typist, that through his methods of training he would produce expert stenogranthers and typists. In his first class, Miss Daisy Jackson, after 14 nights of instruction, won the beginners' contest at 73 words per minute, and is now typing speed material at the exceptional rate of 186 words per minute. Miss Jackson is being pointed for entry in the world's championship commercial schools contest which is held in Chicago, during June of each year. She will unquestionably be ready for the most sterling performance of her career in June of 1936, when she is expected to win the first world's school championship ever held by one of our group. But the beginners of the February class, with 17 nights instruction having Miss Jackson's record as a goal wrote their first speed test on Friday, March 15. The winner was Miss Ellen Kelly, of 321 Eighth Street, Northeast, with a new record speed of 94 words per minute for three minutes with only three errors. Contestants are Good Miss Hazel Bruce of Howard University, was the runner-up, writing 90 words per minute for three minutes, also with only three errors. The winner broke the former record by 21 words per minute, and it is expected that Miss Kelly also will be trained for further honors perhaps reaching world's championship grade. Miss Bruce 一 THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE MENT NINE CITIZENS LAUGH AT SOUTHWEST FIRE APPARATUS Fire Chief Told How Blaze Was Put Out Before Arrival of Engine Fire Chief Schrom was notified by the Southwest Civic Association in a letter this week by George L. Johnson, chairman of the civic body's Public Service Committee, that Southeast citizens are laughing at the antiquated Southwest Fire Department. The letter reads as follows: "A Southeast citizen, living in the 100 block of D Street, Southeast, phoned me at about noon, Sunday, March 17, that Southeast citizens in the neighborhood were laughing at poor old No. 4 Engine Company as it responded to a fire on Carroll Street, Southeast, near the east side of the House Office Building. Had Tough Time Climbing Hill. "It seems that "Spark Plug"—No. 4's 22-mile-an-hour hose wagon—with bells ringing and horns tooting—and with 'Old Methuselah', No. 4's senile pumping engine, ka-chugging along close on her heels—had a rather difficult time making the grade coming from the southwest section along D Street and by the time she reached the corner of First and D Streets, Southeast, the poor old thing was almost completely exhausted. Housewives Leave Sunday Dinner "My informant advises me that housewives left their Sunday dinners, children laughed and screamed, and dogs barked at the strange creature in her dilemma. "A groceryman at the corner of First and D Streets, Southeast, I am told, offered to push her up the remaining incline up First Street $t_0$ Carroll Street, a half block away; however, 'Spark Plug,' evidently truly chagrined and humiliated, took a few desperate weak grunts and gasps and finally made it to where the fire HAD BEEN. No. 4 Too Late "I am informed that a modernly equipped Southeast fire company had put the fire out and had gone back home before the aged 'Watchdog' of the Capitol, Smithsonian Institute, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing, arrived. "It is, I am sure, equally as distressing to Fire Department officials, as it is to Southeast citizens, to have citizens and the press poking fun and laughing at a fire company which many years ago was the pride and joy of the Southwest section and the Fire Department—a company which in recent years has won more first prizes for the most beautifully decorated floats in the annual Labor Day Parade than any other company in the depart- (Continued on page 11). Kelly Makes New Speed Typewriting is to be commended also upon her record-breaking performance, for perhaps under any other conditions other than extraordinary and phenomenal typing by Miss Kelly she would have unquestionably been the winner. Mrs. Ruth Lewis, of 1804 First Street, Northwest; Miss Daisy Jackson, of 927 O Street, Northwest and Miss Elizabeth Frye, of 4806 Hayes Street, Northwest, won first, second and third places in the shorthand contest, respectively. Mrs. Ruth Lewis, the winner, took dictation at the rate of 95 words per minute and has had only four months previous training. Miss Marguerite Jackson, of 731 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, won a prize in the office practice class for having submitted the finest composition on a subject, assigned, to which credit was given for context, composition, originality, form etc. Peters to Enter Contest The founder of the school, Cortez W. Peters, will compete for the world's professional championship in a special contest arranged under the auspices of the International Commercial Schools Contest Committee in Chicago, Illinois, June 27 and 28 of this year. This is his last step in the typing world, having won all prizes from certificates to world's amateur championship to be the champion of all champions—the professional champion typist of the world. It is conceded in many circles that Mr. Peters' chances to win are exceedingly bright, and he trains strenuously at his school headquarters each school night. The public is invited to witness his performance and also that of his students. ---
