HOWARD ALUMNI SECRETARY UNDER FIRE ONE SLAIN, 3 OTHERS MAY DIE POISON DRINK FAILS PRETTY GIRL, 18 KILLER MAY FACE TWIN CHARGES Charles Winter Wood is Worthy Successor in Role of "De Lawd" VOL. XIV, No. 49 POISON Supreme C New Trial Scottsboro Exclusion of Negroes From Jury Service is Hit by Chief Justice Hughes FIGHT TO CONTINUE SAYS ILD ATTORNEY Alabama Not to Give Up Struggle to Send Boys to Electric Chair Laying down in sharp language a ruling that Negroes can not be barred from jury service by subterfuge the United States Supreme Court Monday directed new trials for two of the seven boys recently convicted of assaulting two white women in the famous Scottsborc case. In no uncertain terms the court directed the State of Alabama not only re-try Clarence Norris but held that the indictment on which he was brought to trial was defective. Consequently a new indictment must be returned if Alabama wishes to prosecute the men. The Supreme Court held he had been deprived of constitutional rights because Negroes were barred from jury service in Alabama. Hawwood Patterson, another of the Scottboro defendants, inferentially was given a new trial, although his case was decided by the Supreme Court on technical grounds. The case was remanded back to the Alabama appellate courts to decide whether he had been fairly tried. But since he was indicted and convicted under the same circumstances as Norris, he likewise is believed entitled to a new trial. Spared Second Time The Supreme Court's action marked the second time that tribunal had removed the two men from the shadow of the electric chair. Patterson on a third occasion was saved from the death penalty by a trial judge who set aside his conviction as being against the weight of the evidence (Continued on page 3) Charles Winter Successor in Ro Critics Laud Interpretation of Part By Former Tuskegee Teacher The Dawd need have no misgivings. His part in "The Green Pastures" has fallen into reverent hands. After filling the understudy's post in the wings for five years, Charles Winter Wood stepped into the great part on that ominous afternoon of March 2 when Richard B. Harrison collapsed in his dressing room. Now that Mr. Harrison has gone to a good man's reward, Mr. Wood is regularly responding to the most stirring entrance cue in modern dramatic literature, and he is playing the role like a man who respects the destiny that has descended on him. A Little Nervous He is of slighter build than his noble predecessor; his movements about the stage are a little nervous. But the lower tones of his voice, which he is learning to use, have the calm resonance of a shepherd of believers. Although he has not yet had time to fill the vast measurements of the part and does not sustain in every sense the ESTRANGED WIFE ASKS DIVORCE Mate Charges Hubby Lived With "Other Woman" Here Declaring that her husband, Samuel Frazier, 1432 Twelfth Street. Northwest. had been guilty of living with another woman and holding her out as his wife. Mrs, Bessie Frazier, 2000 glock of Fourteenth Street. Northwest. who claims to be the rightful wife of the defendant filed suit for absolute divorce in the District Supreme Court, late last week. Miss Mary Emma Watts of the same Twelfth Street address, is named as co-respondent by the wife. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Frazier states that her husband has been guilty of misconduct with the co-defendant. She avers that the pair had lived together in immorality during the month of September. 1934. She further alleges that Frazier and the "other woman" had connived to violate his marriage vows on numerous other occasions at a house in the 1400 block of Tenth Street. North-west. The wife also declares that the life together at the Twelfth Street address had carried through the months of February and March of this year. Concluding. Mrs. Frazier states that she and her husband had been estranged since 1926 when one year after their marriage, he was arrested and convicted on a charge of housebreaking. S. CHARLES WINTER WOOD ly, sympathetic figure, his playing is firm with sincerity. Particularly in the most compassionate scenes when the play gives him its best support—like PROBE OF HIS OFFICE IS ASKED Executive Committee Also Refuses to Endorse Articles by Kelly Miller In a meeting which lasted from 3 o'clock in the afternoon to 8 at night, the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association of Howard University voted to investigate the office of the General Alumni secretary, Mishael (Casey) Jones, refused to endorse the published statements of Kelly Miller, former dean of the university, and tabled a resolution seeking to reaffirm its position expressed in its memorial to the trustees in October asking for an investigation. A Tribune reporter was banished from the meeting and the members pledged themselves to secrecy, and voted not to give any information to the press. A stenographer brought into the meeting by a member was also asked to leave. Benjamin Locke, of New York, introduced a resolution proposing to endorse the various releases issued by Dean Kelly Miller. These articles flayed the administration and sought to arouse public opinion against Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of the university. the resolution was voted down (Continued on page 2) 3,000 A'TEND FUNERAL OF DR. RUSSELL Last Rites Held For Founder of St. Paul N. and I. LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—Leaving the school and the churches throughout the county which he built as fitting monument, the Venerable Archaeleacon Dr. James Solomon Russell, founder of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, and the first Negro elected bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, was buried here last Saturday afternoon with three bishops taking part in the service and the people with whom he worked—students, Brunswick County Negroes and whites—city folk and farmers—singing his praises and bowing their heads in deep sadness. Established Missions Coming to Lawrenceville after graduation from the Bishop Payne Divinity School in 1882, and after he had raised tobacco and done other farm chores in order to get enough money to study, first at Hampton Institute and then at the St. Stephen's Normal School, Petersburg, "Archdeacon" Russell, as he was always popularly called, organized nearly a score of Episcopal missions in Southern Virginia, gathered the men and women of the farm and taught them improved methods, and founded what has come to be the largest educational institution for colored people supported by the Episcopal Church, and the third largest of its type, surpassed only by Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes. Service Simple The service was simple—even more so than the Episcopal ritual demands—because Dr. Russell had requested that no eulogy be delivered at his funeral. "My work will speak for itself, I hope," he said (continued on page 3). 14 Civil Service Positions Open Examinations for 14 positions has been announced by the U. S. Civil Service Commission.

There was no evidence that she had attempted to take her life by drinking poison only a few hours before, when a Tribune reporter called on her Monday morning. The unsuccessful attempt ended when Emergency Hospital physicians administered to her and offset the effects of the drink. Wrote Not. A note which she wrote just before making the futile attempt is in the hands of police of the Second Precinct, but it sheds no more light on the reason for her act than do the statements of the girl. "Don't call a doctor." it reads, "or mother I want to die please." "or mother, I want to die, please." The girl herself refused to discuss the affair with the Tribute reporter. She denied being dependent because of unemployment. She denied that a man was involved, as is often the case in youthful female suicides. And she denied suffering any physical handicap. Trouble Her Own Aside from saying "The trouble is all with me, no one else has anything to do with it." Miss Saunders remained non-committal. The girl was found suffering the agonies that accompany swallowing the drink, shortly after midnight in her upstairs room. Occupants of the house discovered her and rushed hep to the hospital. Miss Saunders told the Tribune she came to Washington last December from her home in Florence, S. C. She declared that she had been unemployed until two weeks ago when she obtained part time work through a local employment agency. Houston Acts to Halt Execution of Hollins In letters dispatched Saturday to the attorney general of Oklahoma and the warden of the state penitentiary at McAster, Charles H. Houston, who has carried the case of Jess Hollins to the United States Supreme Court on a writ of certiorari, called the attention of the officials to the fact that Hollins cannot legally be executed before the Supreme Court acts on the certiorari writ. This action was deemed necessary because the stay of execution granted by the governor of Oklahoma expires April 5 and it was feared that the warden might proceed with the execution of Hollins, convicted of an attack on a white woman. Dean Houston stated here after sending the letters to Oklahoma that if the Supreme Court should deny the writ, an effort would be made to obtain a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court in Oklahoma.

Boxing Meet Pennsylvanians Capture Wrestling Championship as Bisons Trail in Both Sports; Bish Hart and Slim Garner Only Howard Winners By ART CARTER With three members of its championship mitt team of 1934 watching the card in the role of spectators and a fourth serving as a second because of eligibility rulings. Howard University's leather pushers were unable to gain any better than third, and last, in the second annual C.I.A.A. defensive arts tournament staged before nearly 1.500 frenzied fans in the Howard gymnasium, Saturday, night. Lincoln University and Hampton Institute tied for high honors in the boxing, each winning three bouts, while the Lions took undisputed possession of the wrestling title by virtue of their two out of three victories on the mat. As was the case last year, the meet was a triangular affair with only three association teams entered. While plenty of action was afforded the hilarious spectators, who behaved in distinct disobedience of the National Collegiate Athletic Association boxing rules, during the early fights, the real excitement came about in the heavier class trays involving Ulysses Lee and Jimmie Williams in the 155-pound division, Bish Hart and Greer of Hampton in the light heavyweight group, and Slim Garner, Howard, and Mitchell, Lincoln, in the 180-pound class. No knockouts were scored. Lee, former Armstrong High School athletic now a freshman at Hampton, gained a unanimous decision from Jimmie Williams of Howard in a spectacular bout which found both fighters visibly fatigued at the finish. Williams was floored twice in the opening round for the count of five as the Hamptonian tore into him with a flurry of rights and lefts to the face. The Bison mauler, however warded off the attack in the second and third and was still on his feet when the gong closed the fight A bout which had been antici-pated as the best of the card was called off as Paul Perkins, of How-ard football fame, defaulted to "Chief Bender" Hooker, Hampton captain, in the 165-nound division. Hooker won the middleweight title last year with a technical knockout over S. Johnson of Lincoln and a decision over Joe Stratton. Howard. Perkins is reported to have been bothered with an injured ankle. Bish Hart, the only champion to defend his title, topped Greer, Hampton, with a three-round decision for the light heavyweight crown. Hart, former Golden Gloves champion of Philadelphia and Howard boxer who was recently barred from participation in the local A.A.U. championships, cleverly eluded the many punches aimed at his face by Greer in the opening session and at times made the Pirate leather pusher appear clumsy. In the second and third, Hart punished Greer's midsection severely and thrice drove him to the ropes to capture the decision and win the first bout of the show for Howard The only bloody bout of the card was provided by the heavyweights. Slim Garner, Howard, 176, and Mitchell, Lincoln, 180, the former gaining the verdict in a split decision. The towering Garner fought brilliantly in the initial round but being a possessor of a punch no stronger than the House of Prayer's Sunday School punch, the Bison mittman did little damage to Mitchell. The latter retaliated in the final perked but found it too late. Gore dripped from the noses of each in the late session after Garner opened a small cut over Mitchell's eye in the second. Joe Anderson, Philadel boxer, showing here for the second time exhibited much improvement to capture the 125-pound class championship. Anderson jabbed his way to a decision over French (Howard) in the semi-finals and returned in the finals to defeat the fresh Embrey of Hampton for the diadem. Last year, he was defeated by Basil Messer, Hampton, for the featherweight crown.

Outfits Jockey Dead Wrestling THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING APRIL 6. 1935 JAS. D. BARNES IS VICTIM OF MENINGITIS Death, Sunday, Follows Ten-Day Illness Burial in Ohio PETERSBURG, Va. (Special)—James D. Barnes, Jr., 26-year-old director of physical education and head coach of basketball and track at Virginia State College, died in the Petersburg Hospital here. Sunday morning, at 7:15, Coach Barnes had been serious; ill for a period of ten days, suffering with cerebral meningitis. The death of the congenial and popular "Sunny Jim" Barnes was a severe shock to members of the College Campus Community and to his many admirers throughout the C. I. A. A, and Ohio, where he won fame as an athlete at Oberlin College in his undergraduate days. Truly "Sunny Jim" It was at the Ohio institution that Coach Barnes won the cogmen "Sunny Jim," which remain-To one who knew him ever wondered why; for the name was a fitting characterization of a most congenial personality Barnes was one of Oberlin's most illustrious and outstanding athletes, upholding the colors of the institution on gridiron, court, and track. For three years he was varsity end on the football team, making a record that Oberlin will never forget. He served as captain of both the basketball and football teams. To State in 1930 Upon his graduation, from Oberlin in 1930, he was appointed instructor in physical education and head coach of basketball and track at Virginia State College. He was also assistant football coach. In 1932 when Harold Martin resigned as director of physical education at the college to accept a similar position at Minor Teachers' College. Washington, Mr. Barner was promoted to the vacancy thus created. Here he served until stricken with the illness which caused his untimely death. It was perhaps the record of Barnes-coached basketball teams that won for "Sunny Jim" his great recognition in the C, I, A, A. In the five years of his brief coaching career, his Trojan court teams have always stood high, never sinking into the second division. Had Clean Teams He could always be depended upon to put on the basketball court a clean, hard fighting, fast and aggressive team. He imparted to his teams his own fighting spirit; he inspired in his men his own high ideals of clean sportsmanship. He made a great contribution toward the development of physical education at the college in his brief but effective and active career here. His contribution is felt not only at the college but throughout the State. for through the direction of his basketball tournaments and other physical education activities he has touched many sections far distant from the college campus. Surviving Coach Barnes are a wife, the former Philis Godette of Oberlin. Ohio, a son. James D. Barnes III, only six months old mother, and father, Mr. and Mrs. James D. Barnes, two sisters. Misses Marguerite and Rebecca, and one brother Samuel, all of Oberlin.

Manager Sherman Baylor appears quite satisfied with the promises of his Jungle Cats. The pitching staff, receiving corps, outfield and inner guardianship show balance throughout. Lefty George Smith, Fred Slade and Jess Carter offer experience to the hurling squad with Lefty Thomas and Jack Craig augmenting that body. Eggie Greenfield, veteran receiver, will give the balance necessary to make the trio composed also of Scoon Johnson and Jim Grey click to best advantage.

A $356 "daily double," the pay-off holders of winning tickets on the Lookabout-Sparky combination, greeted the 14,000 loyal sons and daughters who took advantage of ideal weather to usher into Maryland the 1935 Spring racing season at Bowie Tuesday. It was the all time record for the popular Prince George's oval. Thirty persons were thus rewarded with a handsome return for their $2 investment, the first of their kind in the history of the Maryland sport. There were no colored among the winners, though many Negroes took the gamble. The well liked R.

Sunday at 12 o'clock has been set for the first definite workout, weather permitting, by the Southeasterners' boss. The drill will be put on at the Barry Farms grounds. Owing to a recent illness which kept him confined at Freedmen's Hospital for several weeks during the winter, Ossie Stewart, ace of the Anacostia pitching staff, is withdrawing from action participation during the coming campaign. He will not, however, be out of the game entirely as he has signed to manage the youthful Anacostia Catholic nine. The absence of Stewart from the Athletic hurling corps will seriously affect the Anacostia defense and will make Manager Green look to Art Beverly to fill the gap. At the Furlong Pole DOWNIES DIVIDE WITH STORER West Virginia Girls Cop After Boys Lose to Pennsylvanians DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—On Saturday night at the Minquas Fire Hall, Downingtown Industrial School boys nabbed their first court victory over the Golden Tornado of Storer College. A 33-14 win over the West Virginians enabled Coach Lewis's lads to wind up their M3A season in the first division with five victories and four defeats. The Downie maids, however, were not so fortunate. They lost a 15-8 decision to the Storer lassies, the first which the Collegians have landed since 1930. Thus they dropped into the second division with three victories against four defeats. In three previous M3A campaigns they had lost a total of only two contests and had suffered only four defeats in the four years from 1931 to '34 at the hands of all opponents horse. Good Harvest, was an indication that the Smart-trained youngster is pointing to losing his "bug" before late in the summer. That is, of course, with any kind of racing luck.

LION CINDERMEN MAKING READY Orange and Blue Track Cohorts Prep For Busy Campaign LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.—A number of promising young Lincoln University candidates have answered Coach "Chuck" Jones's call to the cinderpath. Jones, himself the holder of the Penn Relay shot put record of fifty feet, hopes to produce a powerful team from the wealth of material on hand. The one-mile relay team is scheduled to participate in the annual Penn Relays on April 26-27. Dick Moultrie, well known veteran trackman, is the only member of last season's sterling quartet missing. Thus, with three regulars present, Coach Jones expects to mould a winning combination in this event. Bank on Parker Jase Parker in addition to being a star quarter-miler is a dash man of no mean ability. Parker has been showing splendid form in daily workouts, and it is expected that he will hold down the anchor position this spring. Many fine prospects comprise the list of sprinters. They are: Brown, former Howard High sensation; Martin stellar product of Phillipburg High; Wooding, former Douglas High luminary; Parker, Ward, DesVerney, Perrinchief, Brittingham, and C. Jackson. Several milers have also reported to the coach. Of these Phil Harris, powerful sophomore, seems to be the most likely to pull through the tryouts. Other contenders, however, are: Mayers, Lloyd Cuff, Saulter, Fairfax, Turner, and Ferguson. The only two hurdlers to date are Patterson and Burgess. Rain Again Postpones Hillsdale Practice A steady downpour of rain Sunday caused the second postponement of practice for the Hillsdales in their preparation for the coming baseball season.

WASHINGTON (Eov. ANP) DETROIT. — Natie Brown's cock-sure boast that for five years he had never been knocked off his feet was silenced forever by a dynamic left-hand punch which travelled only five inches in the first round of a battle at Olympia here Friday night in which Joe Louis did all of the fighting to win a decision over a tough Jewish pug from Washington. It was Brown's first defeat in eighteen months, while Louis was keeping his sensational pro record of 17 victories in a row intact. New York Critics Watch While nearly fifteen thousand cheered. Louis launched an aggressive punching attack which stunned Brown in the initial round and gave the boxing experts who were on hand from New York to "spot" Joe in connection with the c ming Carnera-Louis fight in June. the impression that the Detroit Destroyer is one of the greatest boxing "finds" in a decade. Brown, badly beaten and battered at the end with blood streaming down both sides of his face, declared that Louis was "a great kid." Brown Dropped Folds Up After Louis's devastating punching attack in the first round, Natic folded up like a compressed accordion, adopted a crouching style of defense and began to absorb Joe's blows like a battered ship on a stormy sea, with the grim determination to stay the full ten rounds. Joe showed his complete mastery over Brown before the first minute of the fight has passed. Like a trim destroyer, Joe came out of his corner and began shooting lefts and rights at Brown's head and body. He looked like a perfect piece of fighting machinery combining the shrewdness of a master boxer and the power of a deadly puncher. After a few of his famous lefts and rights, Brown began backing up and taking to cover. Less than a minute had passed when Louis backed Brown into his own corner and shot a rapier-like left to Natie's protruding chin. Natie dropped like the mercury in Alaska and took the count of nine. He was gocey-eyed when he got up and resumed fighting. The ball coming shortly thereafter, probably saved him from a knockout in that round. With the finesse of a master plasterer and painter, Louis then began the job of shellacking Brown. Taking his work seriously and keeping his poker-face expression, Louis plastered and painted Natie's face with lefts and rights. Brown continued to scurry to cover and failed to land more than about three blows on his stalking opponent throughout the entire fight. Bob Olin Signs for Non- Title Lewis Go S.N FRANCISCO, Calif. (ANP) —It looks like the name—regardless whether it is spelled Louis, or Lewis—will take the sport light in this section. Promoters of the famous Dreamland Auditorium added new life to the boxing game here recently when they presented Joe Louis and Ri Barry. Now they come back with another banner attraction, having signed John Henry Lewis and Bob Olin, light-heavy-weight champion, for a bout on Friday, April 12. The affair will be a non-title event, but will pack them to the rafters just the same for Lewis is very popular here. In fact, Joe Louis made such a big hit with the fans, that almost any good colored fighter would draw now. The Washington Royal baseball team will resume preparation for the coming season when it takes the field at Baggett's Stadium; Alexandria, at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning. All old and new candidates are urged to be on hand. The team is slated to leave for a 10-day trip through North and South Carolina, on April 20.

Just for the want of something more current to take as an illustration of the point, we refer to the second annual C.I.A.A.A. boxing and wrestling championship held at Howard Saturday night. Last year, against the same two schools. Hampton and Lincoln, the Bison leather pushers completely dominated the show but alack and asas 365 days passed and the order was reversed with the Bisons on the bottom and the Pennsylvanians topping the tournament. Such boxers as Leonard Veal, Chappy Cochran, Joe Stratton, Freeman Murray and Bishop Hart were outstanding for Howard in the inauguration of the fictitious business in the collegiate ranks in '34 while Rufus Johnson and Alexander (Hike) Gordon took charge of matters on the mat. Only Hart, of Golden Gloves fame, returned to the squared circle Saturday to defend his title. *** Relegated to lesser roles because of eligibility rulings and insufficient financial funds, Cochrane, Stratton' Johnson and Murray, the latter now out of school, watched the bouts disheartenedly as spectators while Gordon served as an official. Gordon, now a promising young member of the ministry, participated in the featured grappling bout with Big Veney, 220-pounder of Lincoln, last year. *** Besides Hart, one other champion retained his title. Captain Chief Bender Hooker of Hampton is still the middleweight champion of the collegiate mittmen but Hooker is the most disappointed champion you will ever see. You see, Hooker retained his title when Paul Perkins of Howard defaulted because of a bad ankle and if it is anything that Hooker likes better than fighting it is more fighting. Of course, we mean supervised fighting. Hooker stills holds claim to the only kyo score in the collegiate meets. Last year, he gained a technical knock-out over S. Johnson, Lincoln, after punching the Lion mauler's face until he was groggy. The fight was stopped after the first round had gone one minute and 30 seconds. All the other bouts have been decisions. --- Jimmie LaValle, former Washington youth, captain and star of the varsity track team at the University of California, Los Angeles, was selected one of the 20 students for inclusion in the university's Who?

MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE NEWS The Middle Atlantic Athletic Association season came to a close Saturday with Delaware State College copping first place honors by a sensational 31-30 victory over Bordentown—something in the nature of a mild upsetting of the dope. The New Jersey lads had not tasted defeat since Downingtown gave them a trimming in the final game of the 1932 season. Delaware girls prepared the way for their mates' triumph by plastering a 23-18 licking on the hitherto undefeated champion Bordentown lassies. The hapless Downies sank deeper into the mire by dropping their first tilt to Storer in five years. Tribune Girl 5 Ends West Chester Streak WEST CHESTER, Pa. — The twelve game winning streak of the West Chester Centerette Girls was stopped here last Thursday evening on their home court when they were defeated by the Tribune Girls, the national colored basketball champions, by a score of 41 to 12. Two field goals in succession by Lattimore and two by Wilson started the fireworks. Raymond of the home team scored the first field goal in a spectacular shot from the left side of the court Black Man Was First "Menace" to Heavy Champion CHICAGO—(ANP)—There were 32 boxers competing in the annual intercity Golden Gloves championship bouts between New York and Chicago here Friday night at the Chicago Stadium and of that total, eight stalwart colored lads emerged as victors. Chicago defeated New York 11 to 5 and two of the five bouts won by the New Yorkers as 23,000 fans looked on, went to colored fighters and the boys they whipped were white. Jesse Levels, flyweight from Grand Rapids, Mich., was the first colored lad to go on and he took the measure of Ben Reitman of New York in three stirring rounds. Levels was runnerup this year. Last year, due to illness he didn't do much fighting, although he won the title in the local Tournament of Champions. Then in rapid succession the colored victories began to pile up, The Salem-Cresent A.C, of New York furnished most of the hard hitting lads from Harlem, who in a majority of instances, were accorded the honor of championship ratings in their weight divisions. The firing of some 26 fighters in New York a week before because they demanded money for training expenses, necessitated the placing of substitutes in their places. But the way Sedgwick Harvey-veteran lightweight of New York took the measure of his foe, on a knockout was something the folks down Lennox Avenue will talk about for some time, that is if Harvey was as enthusiastic when he got back home as he acted in the ring here Friday night. He jumped, ran all around the ring and acted a though he had held a winning ticket on the Irish Sweep-stakes after he had delivered a crushing blow to his opponent's chin which sent him down and out, Chi Youths Come Back Then there was Ray Ovillo, long and rangy sharpshooter, who cut Troy Bellini, the Chicago 118 pound champion's face to ribbons to grab a fast victory. But the Chicago youths were yet to be heard from. Elwood McReynold of Wilberforce went out to take his man and was followed by Dave Clark and the newest amateur sensation. Clinton Bridges of Detroit. Otis Thomas, last year's heavyweight champion, scored a one pound knockout victory over Larry Green, the New York runnerup while Lorenzo Pack, Chicago heavyweight, from Detroit, shaded James Howell of New York in three close rounds. John Cabelo. Eddie Steele. Otis Johnson, Solomon and Lewis, also gave good account of themselves, but lost out. Lorenzo Lovings.

By SAM LACY Ex-Slave , Molineaux, Was Pioneer American Title-seeker 一 While boxing fans and figures of the profession all over the country are watching with interest, and singing the praise of Joe Louis, the latest acquisition to the prize ring, thoughts go back to the earliest battlers and the history of their careers. It may be quite a coincidence that a Negro is the foremost figure in American pugilism today just as a colored fighter was the first prize fighter in the history of the United States, and just as a black man was the first American to fight for the world's heavyweight title. It might be added here that lots of folks say a black man will be the "last" to fight for the world's heavyweight crown. First World Title Tom Cribb, a white ruler of the rough-and-tumble days wh $ ^{o} $ campaigned between various points on the British Isles, defeated Tom Molineaux, a Virginia Negro, for the world's heavyweight championship on December 10, 1810, at Copthall THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

The C.I.A.A. revoked the certification of all officials listed in the baseball, basketball and football groups who did not remit for their fees within the prescribed time." Common, in 40 rounds. Cribb was the champion at the time and then, like is so often the case now, was literally forced into a fight with the black ringman by public sentiment. In 1805, before he was champion, Cribb fought and knocked out Bill Richmond, another Negro and the man who was the pioneer in "the manly art" in this country. It was in this manner that the Molineaux Cribb was brought about. Wins Freedom Molineaux, a slave, whipped a slave bully on a neighboring plantation and his delighted "master" gave him his freedom. Having heard about Richmond, he encouraged Tom to make a try in pugilism, and furnished him transportation to England. Molineaux whipped an "unknown" in Bristol, knocked out Tom Blake, white, in eight rounds, and accomplished the same feat against other "unknowns." The men called themselves, "unknows," fearing they would lose "social prestige" if it were publicly known they had tugged with a Negro.

C., Md., Championship By soundly trouncing the Cardozo Night High School five for the second straight victory the Armstrong High School Niters annexed the 1935 night school title for Maryland and the District of Columbia. The Cardozoans were turned back by a score of 37-24. Armstrong was much the better of the local teams this year, a strenuous preliminary campaign sending them into the championship series fully prepared for the gruelling test. Cardozo, boasting superior experience, was outclassed largely because her lads did not play together frequently enough to mould a strong team. Defeated Douglass Armstrong, captained and coached by Otis (Horse) Williams, had previously taken the measure of the Douglass Evening School of Baltimore, in two straight games.

The success of the former Virginia slave caused English sports to demand that Cribb "fight and whip the Yankee ....." Cribb finally agreed and 20,000 persons gathered at the scene. Pounds Champion Molineux made a punching bag of Cribb for 30 rounds. Americans at the ringside then were offering 5 to 1 that the colored fighter would win. There were no takers. Cribb, not trained for so terrific a fight, seemed like a man without a chance as the thirties round ended. With the opening of the thirty-first, Molineux rushed Cribb and dropped him with a right hand smash. Molineux stumbled trying to get out of Cribb's way, lunged wildly to get his balance, lost it and pitched headlong into a ring post. The impact knocked him unconscious.

That is the opinion offered by Primo Carnera's successor to the title, Max Baer, in an interview to quite an array of newspaper, men last week. "I think Carnera will beat Louis when they fight in June," he declared, "Louis is young and still inexperienced. no matter how much they write about him in the papers. Take a look at his record and see if it doesn't bear me out. I wouldn't be so silly as to say he isn't a comer, but I know from experience he is a long way from the top. "Louis may knock Carnera down," he continued, "but you can bet' plenty that he'll get up. I haven't forgotten he was down and up so many times in my fight with him I got dizzy trying to keep track of the knockdowns, and I wasn't fooling when I hit him either. In For Rough Trip "If Carrera is in good physical condition, as he was when he fought me. I think he will wear Louis down. "The Italian will go into the match with plenty of determination. He'll work up a lot of psychology and say to himself. 'Primo are you going to let this young upstart show you up?' Honestly, I think Louis is due for a tough time. "I read where Louis is promising to flatten Carrera in five rounds or so. From what I know of him, he doesn't go around making loose talk like that. "His so-called friends maybe are making a lot of conversation for him. "But no matter who comes out on top. I'll be on hand to give the ultimate winner a trouncing.

Cribb again defeated Molineaux in a return match September 28, 1811, at Wymondham, England, before a crowd of 40,000—the record up to that time. Cribb was in perfect fettle: Molineaux was but a shadow of his former self. The white fighter led from the start of the match. He broke the ex-slaves's jaw in the tenth round and in the eleventh, finished him. Molineaux fought only a few times after that, earned trifling sums, drifted into forgetfulness in England and was found dead in an army barracks at Galway, Ireland.

TEEN Ambling About Among Amusement Artists The Clarke Hotel in Hollywood has definitely established itself as the mecca for entertainers and out-of-towners breezing in for one reason or another. Recently Horace Clark, genial manager of the place, decided to add a cabaret feature for the entertainment of his guests. It turned out to be a much more impressive affair than was anticipated. Flora Washington, stylish little singer and her troupe of entertainers and orchestra had just returned from China. Nina Mae McKinney, without the white Rolls, but with a perfectly stunning hubby, was there. Joe Louis and his nice sister, had just received the key to the town. Nora Holt, looking like a million dollars breezed in. Mrs. Fannie (Bill Bojangles) Robinson was a pleasing guest. Julian Black, promoter, with Joe Louis, wore his Sunday smile and confided that California's climate has made him change his mind about that country home in Michigan. He likes it better here. And so the hall of fame was moving about big as life and twice as natural right your eyes. The women were dressed gorgeously, what with Nina and Flora and Nora vying for first place among the fashionably attired, it was a perfect riot of color and dash and smartness. Here's one to tuck away in your memories for a later time —when you have more time to think about the remarkableness of it. The Southernaires have memorized more than 700 Negro folk songs, many of which have never been reduced to writing. The marvelous reception accorded the "Four Ink Spots" on their three-times-a-week WJZ-NBC broadcast which began a few weeks ago has caused the quartet to be seriously considered for a full week schedule as a sustaining feature according to announcement of Gale, Inc. RKO Building, managers of the successful young singers. Already broadcasting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 11:30 as one of the few colored sustaining features on a week-day national hook-up, the boys have to add only three more nights to complete their full schedule. The success of this group, it is predicted, will pave the way for other colored acts as sustaining features. The Mills Brothers have concluded their contract with the Bing Crosby series over the Columbia network out on the coast and have started their trek eastward filling theatre engagements on their way. They are scheduled to be in Europe by summer. The greatest exponent of "Yah Man" is the perfect personification of it... Meaning "Fats" Waller. He would never think of performing without his hat cooked forward on his head. Though he leans far backward on his piano stool to hit a high vocal note the headpiece clings... He smiles constantly as his fingers fly over the key board or as he claps the music stand up and down loudly for his own percussion effects. Etta Moten, screen and stage artist, opens at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, Thursday, for an engagement. Fats" Waller, the star pianist and entertainer HOWARD 7th & T N. W.

This scene is only one of the many high-lights of "Clive of India." Another is the "Battle of Plassey." The story of "Clive of India" traces the rise of a $25-a-year clerk in the East India Company to the conqueror of a nation, stresses the private life of England's greatest hero and the part his lovely wife played in his triumphs and defeats.

To disseminate this knowledge, Mrs. Hare has collected data, clipings and photographs from foreign sources and has been occupied in research in the principal libraries of the East.

Lovett, attorney, director of the drive, who was recently awarded a fellowship in law at Harvard University, addressed the Junior Branch of the District Association last Saturday. The more youthful members of the District Association were urged to begin the systematic organization of the city's young people. With grave problems of unemployment aggravated by racial discrimination, facing thousands of young people periodically emerging from schools and colleges, Mr. Lovett declared that the training of young people to understand and analyze the problems confronting them, had become an urgent need. Disclaiming association with the more violently radical elements, Mr. Lovett nevertheless expressed the opinion that the acute crisis in race relations was facing both the N.A.A.C.P. as an organization, and the entire race, with the serious problem of determining the technique to be used in the future, in dealing with racial situations involving political, economic, and co-called social equality. Members of the Senior Branch, N.A.A.C.P., who were present at the meeting, included Mrs. Gee, of the Executive Committee; A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the D. C. Branch, and Mrs. Constance E. H.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING APRIL 6, 1935 THE MOUTHPIECE The Younger Set BY MORRIS MURRAY, JR The first item of interest that flashes across my weary mind is of a personal experience I encountered en route into the wilds of the pale face's heaven. Virginia. "Twas late that night and after a hard day, I was very tired and sleepy. Before I knew it I was fast asleep. I don't know just how much time expired when I was awaken by the aroma of a nickel pickle being preyed upon. It gave me the impression of the farm hand who had been to the big city for a day. The way that sister mouthed that pickle was a da n shame. It would have been O. K., but the small permeated the entire bus, and some of the aroma was seen oosing out of the cracks in the side of the bus. My riding companion after awhile caught* on and decided to chuck the sour thing. In instead of throwing it out the window she calmly opened her pocketbook and chucks the raw end of the butt, which was the only remaining portion of the brave pickle, into the bag. It so happened that several of the white boys who were also on the bus, almost fell out when the madam pulled that one. So the next time you ride on a bus be sure to eat your pickles and peanuts before boarding the wagon Grace Sears would do everyone a "flavor" if she would put on her boots and get hep to herself L. Anderson seems to be the bottom and Grace the top. Will she ever stop spinning? ***** Sam Poole seemed to be host in a foe at the fashion show. Maybe N. Dixon had threatened to do him wrong if he asked R. C. for a hop. ***** They say if Joe Johnson would stop clowning while cutting carpet (dancing) he wouldn't fall so much. ***** It seems to me that Lillian Adams told Freddie sometime ago that she would plant him and dig him later. Well, it seems that harvesting time has rolled around with her. Come on, Ethel Robinson, you can't win W. Watts' affections by feeding him ice cream and cake every Sunday he happens to drop in. Ben Taylor was at the fashion show and was he ready, so help me. Well, anyway he had sense enough to stick with his regular (Elsie Jackson), instead of listening to the stale jube of a certain girl who has been suddenly wrapped up in Ben lately. She's in Jean's chorus, too. Looks like the lovely romance of Louise and Warfield has gone haywire, or maybe Louise just stepped out last Friday night. Saw the young lady leaving the Masonic with one of those Fratt fellows. 'Twas after the witching hour and Lady Louise was without de kernel. Keep it up and Full House for National Symphony Orchestra A sea of faces turned toward Rankin Chapel's rostrum; a scores or more musicians at their places on the stand, throbbing violin or tremblinf flute in hand; Dr. Hans Kindler, arms upraised in grand magnetic gesture. It's the national Symphony Orchestra appearing in the final concert of Howard University Concert Series. Men and women high in the city's civic social and professional circles were there; eager students, too, and government workers. Even a tired old great-grandmother was there. She leaned on the arm of herpet grandson and he guided her to the chapel. The orchestra showed rare musicianship throughout the evening and its execution of Bach's "I Call to Thee, Lord Jesus" Choral Prelude and Emanuel Bach's "Symuhony No. 3 in C major" evoked long and loud applause. Mr. Louia Vaughan Jones of the Howard University faculty received a tremendous ovation for his extraordinary skill as violin soloist in "Symuhonic Espagnole" (Lalo). The old school on Howard Hill must have felt so very proud as its master violin player earned encore after encore. Dr. Kindler conducted the orchestra with a tender sort of concentration and the sympathetic response of the players added much to the beauty of the program. The applause grew as the program progressed and Dr. Kindler bowed again and again, and more than once he called the orchestra to join in the acknowledgment. The Howard University Concert Series is over and Washington's music lovers are deeply grateful ... ... By PEARLIE JTHPunger Set someone won't wear an armband... Evelyn Debos had a boogie- woogie time at the fashion show. Friday. That's probably the rea- son she was late showing up at school last week, or was there a good show at the theatre? . . . You're Welcome..... The joint was quiet, but oh my, what a swell hop. That Church Street mob sure knows how to give 'em, too. Just about six cozy couples with the lights down low and the music sending. That's 'senough to make Minny tha Moocher pull a faint. Well, any- way, these gals can take it, and would their mamas be surprised to know that it's the talk of the town... A certain young fellow asked me to introduce him to the lovely Mary Francis, but does he know that coolness..... Laura Luckett, one of the Virginia natives, had a front porch squawk with the boy friend, with grandma behind the front door tuning in on the chatter. They say Laura prefers to stand up on street cars rather than sit, especially when they are crowded..... They say Julia Hawkins is shipping Addison Pand sweet scooters by A, Upshaw. Why will Lucretia Cayborne he so cruel? Another fellow's pumper has exhausted, especially after he spends his last coin to call up and the very night she steps out in high style with another mug... The J. L. C.'s promise something lovely in entertainment tomorrow night. All the kids are set for the affair. Here's good luck to the club in behalf of this pillar.---- Samuel Westerfield and Therrel Smith seem to have quite a lot to talk about in classes lately. "Rabbie" Mathews was forced to trot to the Masonic with two young ladies. Beechee Phyllis happened to be the main attraction while Alberta R. was lugged along for Hallie Taylor who held down the cloak room for the evening. L. Cooke seemed to be unable to dig up a tux for the Sorority dance. Friday, and was unable to escort Elizabeth Waller. The popular O. C. O. club announced its swinger this week. Think I'll cock my broom, sweep clean and truck on down to the Bowery where the cats are mellow as honey dews and the beer nickel asling..... EXTRA... Hobbing to see all out to the Red Cross doings Friday. (today) 'cause Louise Newman will chirp "On the Isle of Caprice." Too bad it's so close to Easter, because eggs are so cheap now we might expect anything from the crowd. Look out Louise.... for National Orchestra for the lessons they have learned for the new ideas they've gleaned for inspiration received. And all these thoughts of Bach and Brahms and Wagner will be grand to hold and harbor till the next concert series comes. DEANWOOD NEWS The Rev. T. S. Tilson, pastor of Bandall M. E.

For Students Of Students AboutStudents ... --- Gamma Tau Fraternity Dance Climaxed Week-End Game Beautiful women, and brilliant decorations were the highlights Friday night, when the Alpha Chapter Tau Fraternity gave its initial dance at the Masonic Temple Ballroom. Arriving at the dance at about 12:30 with my friend I found the dance in full swing. There was no stag. The beautiful ladies came in lovely evening gowns, which added to the brilliant and magnificent decorations. While big bold men brought up the masculine attire with tuxedos full dress and mess suits. Sis Sisko, that brilliant young lady from the Cotton Club, sang two numbers, "Blue Moon" and "The Moon Turns Yellow." Rudolph Eton, who tickles the ivories for Tommie Myles orchestra, was seen at the piano. A centerpiece, on which the fraternity name was written, was in the middle of the dance floor. The lights were low and the music was sweeter. The spot light sent it's gold and silver stars floating around the cozy ballroom. Bill Hestor's Blue Birds Orchestra furnished the lyrics. And did they swing? Among the guests present were: Miss Virginia Fowler, Jean Taylor, Ruth Jones, Lillian Brown, Mae Arrington Florence Jones and Charlotte Ridgley. Messrs. LaVert Arm-trong, Robbi Matthews, Scotte Socks, Mlard Williams, Robert Jones and Leonard Ornley. You who attended the fashion show last Friday night will agree with the statement I made last week concerning the show. Yes, yes, yes, the affair was well attended by the younger set. The Colonade was decorated with many colors. The highlights of the show were the "Caricaa" featuring Florida Roy and Charles Miles; the "Beach Dance," a tap dance, featuring Jean Taylor and her mermaids; the "Blue Moon" dance; starring Raymond Glasse and his fast steppers, and the waltz number with Miss Ida Hall directing. After the show the boys and girls were seen swinging to the musical tones of Bill Baldwin's Orchestra. Among those seen there were Morris Murray, master of ceremonies Freeman Murray and Alvin C. Webb, Misses Vivian, Marie Winnana and Alme Hall, Iola Sewell, Helen Lacy, Aliza Reed, Fannie Moten Ruth Coleman, Gertrude West, Lillian Garland, Gladys Mopps, Lois Puryear, Thelma King, Alberta Ridgeley, Thelma Reynolds and Christine Taylor.

You say it was a flop. The Personality Buddies dance, last Friday night, at the Crystal Caverns turned out to be a flop as was expected by this columnist. **** I know you city slickers and town pimps will journey around to the Whitelaw Hotel tomorrow night. The dance is strictly invitational. The local boys and girls are planning to pitch a boggie woggie. This writer will be there to look things over. **** Barrington Tate and Luke Watts were closed from the joint up on Howard Street, Friday night. Julius Newman was given the air, also Can you feature The Rhumbas Club giving a dance at the Masonic Temple last Saturday? They must be trying to cut in on the Little Women's Club. This Wise GIVE FOR Sees All Knows All Tells All LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKER Unique Fashion Show Gay Affair WINCHELL IN CARDOZO By JULIUS NEWMAN Telltale Chatter of a Columnist. Once in every blue moon history repeats itself and that reminds yours truly of the Mid-Victorian evening he spent last Friday nite. The scene of action was laid on Harvard Street where the lovely Ferne Greenway entertained twelve little maids who called themselves The Sardonyx...That words, one is told, means rare jewels. And rare Jewels they are too. All hues of the rainbow are represented...Add thumbnail descriptions of some of these rareties... Miss Barlow; (the life of any party)...Daris Cooper; (has floating power with her dancing)... Florence Jackson; (tries to be cool and can't), it's impossible;...Sarah Martin; (the loudspeaker of any affair)...Edith Lacey; (reminds one of Solitude) the same goes for Evelyn Caroline Peterson; (the lassic's middle name should be Fickle)...More of 'em next week...And back, to that ancient evening...As your writer entered the mansion he at once thought of composing a new song hit. The title would be "Dancing in the Sunlight".If you don't get the swing of the thing, it means that a newspaper could be read in any part of the house...As the evening wore on which was very brief as one shall see later, the guests entertained themselves by getting together in groups, spilling of course a great deal of gossip. Reminds one of the ancient Granges where the farmers used to come for miles around to collect in groups and chat away their secrets...Too much said...P.S., the gossiping was largely among the jewels (girls will talk).Some of the guests even read a book and looked at a few pictures in a table;old newspaper. The affair let out at the late hour of ELEVEN for which Hurrah!...Hurrah!... Hurrah!... Nuf sed and maybe The Sardonyx and the hostess will even hang me for this... Among the Odds and Ends Time out for a little story in which the hero rates seallions. It involves one John Patterson, a member of that famous Gauntlet Patrol. Incidentally these members are supposed to keep pupils from falling up the wrong stairs and are not supposed to show any favors whatsoever. Well to make an annoying tale short, Mr. Patterson was doing his duty when along comes his idol (Miss Brenice Jeffries). And here all Gauntlet rules were thrown to the four winds which means of course that the dear lad let her pass. Now, is that fair to the rest of the dear girls who also want a short cut to the third landing? No, no a million times not! The dead. Nuf red. Traveling on down ve old seconda' lane we find Julian Brown penning one of those sweet missives to Louise Blackburn. She receives it and passes it on to her better half (Arnold Patterson). For approval. Now how do you like that for good clean fun? ... FLASH!..FLASH!...The plot thickens and that reminds one of the terrible crossword or jigsaw puzzle entangling Major Clemons, Miss Ruth Burrell, the Hon, John Euell and a fifth, our own Julian Brown and Lt. (Why can't he stay out of things?)...It seems as though the first trio above went to a little birthday party and also to their doom (ketch out). Well anyway, Miss Burrell forget all to the major at the affair and showed all of her attention on Mr. Euell the private property of who she was not present... She hears about this little get together and you can guess the rest. ...We now find her chatting merily with that Julian person. ...He is an officer isn't he? ...Not forgetting poor Mr. Clemons, he declares that some little chick at Dumbar will wear his bump ece now and not Miss Burrell as stated last week. ...Chatting with Miss Evelyn Lacey, one of Cardozo's newest, I understand that she missed one of high school's greatest thrills. She failed to receive an airmand. ...Sorry Evelyn. ...Among these little fadeout romances one might see Shermont Neil telling it to Miss Alice Procter, former love of Summer Johnson who is now back and also found himself a new flame or maybe she has found him. ...The cute miss is Hattie Collier. It stranger the maestro she should be playing with dolls yet. ...Too much said. Someday I will find something to replace that. ...Miss Marton Alston, who boasts of a love at Hampton was seen the other day giving her smiles to Mr. Roland THE FLOWER BOX FIFTEEN Miller, formerly of this school.... And so until next week Cherrio.... Might find something to replace that too... Cherrio. Chols Seys And here's to a speedy recovery for Mrs. Hester. Dear Mr. Chols, please tell the gang in your column who had the article put in your column about the Brown Buddies secret party at the Thinman Inn. Sorry Gang, but I cannot tell you what you ask because I promised Grisby that I would not tell and I always keep my word. **** Seen at the Lincoln, Sunday night, Mr. and Mrs. Rozier Dent, Mrs. and Mrs. Richard Hopkins, Mr. Edward Leak, and believe it or not, he was alone. ... Dear Mr. S. Bailey, if you would eat in peace never order a teabone steak and one order of French fried potatoes while Blondell is ground. Always order a peck and save the waitress a lot of steps. And by the way Bailey, don't forget how to fix the phone. **** And now this starts the stuff. Met the real good Mr. Baker, of the Odd Card Whist Club and he asked me (Chols), where he could get a real good whist game? And knowing how red hot the boys of Number Four. Engine Company are I told Baker to get in touch with Captain Keyes. Imagine my surprise when he (Baker), told me that his team had played Captain Bennie Keyes and the boys eight times had beat them eight times. My, my, my, now the stuff is on. **** And still the fight rages on good old U Stolen. Alonzo Collins puts them up and' Dizzy Vance palls them down a vice versa, but Chols thinks Dizzy will win 'cause he can hang them up too high for Alonzo to reach. Both of you read this: he who serves the public obliges no one, and he who has the reputation for rising early may sleep 'till noon. --- Saw Katie, of the LaPetite at the Lincoln, Sunday night, but she did not have the songbird. Introduce us, won't you—can he sing? Good Old Magruder, still playing the hall at the old Dom. Jam up. Why don't you give the other boys a chance? For instance, Brother Bell, he am lonesome. James (Alamac) Jackson has a new Ford and he says that he is open to a proposition 'cause he is tired of riding alone. Won't some beautiful kindly get in touch with him? This is an add, he paid for ... Miss Vera Feiton, don't be like that. Don't lose your sweet ways. Frown and use sixty muscles of the face. Smile and use sixteen.

German fascism has today little or no concessions in Ethiopia and this move by Hitler is an effort to substitute the robbery by German capitalists for robbery by Italian capitalists. It looms as no benefit whatever to the Negro people of Abyssinia as all the imperialist nations of Europe are attempting to seize the wealth and natural resources of this country for their own capitalist exploiters.

Jones explained that the calls were made in the interest of the association since he did not have the money for traveling expenses. Jones was also questioned about certain funds collected for the Alumni Journal ar several of the members pointed out that. they have not received the publication in four months. Lack of funds was yiven by Jones for failure to have the’ Journal published. He said certain matter was in the hands of his printer and as soon as the money is raised he will have the Journal published.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL WOOD IS WORTHY N "DE LAWD" (Continued from page one) the march into the Promised Land —Mr. Wood has the character "The Green Pastures" requires of its people. In 69th Year For Mr. Connelly and Mr. Steb- For Mr. Connelly and Mr. Steb- bins respect the beauties of their Negro miracle play and know that the character of the Lawd is essential to its fulfillment. No suave performer or artful elocutionist could carry a part that has so many sacred implications. Mr. Wood, who is now in his sixty-ninth year, has had the breeding and education that make him aware of his present responsi- bilities. He was born in Nashville, Tenn., the son of a Methodist parson. He was educated at Beloit College, Wis., and then became a teacher at Tuskegee Institute. After ten years there he won a Rockefeller scholarship and earned his Master's degree in the philosophy of education at Columbia. Returning to Tuskegee, he taught English drama and public speaking until he was engaged to understudy the part of the Lawd soon after "The Green Pastures" opened five years ago; and during all that time he shared with the other members of the company a deep veneration for Mr. Harrison. In Capable Hands His job now is formidable; he has to follow a great man in a part that is of considerable importance to the American drama and the Negro race. To lovers of the play it is comforting to realize that the role has gone to a man who respects its high tradition. If Mr. Harrison had to go, let us be grateful that he went at the high point of his career. He had left a trail of glory all through the country, promoting good-will for the stage and his race; and New York had just had an opportunity to renew its affection for him. Since "The Green Pastures" was born here, the return on February 26 was a homecoming, and the warmth of its reception was in large part a token of the love New York had for him. Simple goodness is one of the imponderables in a tumultuous and shrill city.

The addition is made necessary because of the steady increase of enrollment from 240 pupils in 1923 to about 900 pupils in 1934-35, or an estimated 250 per cent increase in enrollment in 11 years." Health Department Understaffed The civic body urged the Committee to be liberal in its appropriation for the Health Department and pointed out that the Health Department is understaffed both in physicians and nurses, and that the school medical inspection staff of the same size as 25 years ago, in spite of large increases in the school population and the teaching staffs during this period. The Southwest Civic Association concurred in the prevailing opinion that tuberculosis is the outstanding health problem in the District, and Dr. Johnson pointed out that the association had been conducting a health survey at the Randall Junior High School in which for the first time in the District, public school children were given the tuberculin test. Pointing out that the health officer has announced his desire to institute a similar procedure with the graduating classes in some of the high school's, the civic body urged that the Senate provide the Health Department with sufficient funds to institute such a progressive procedure. The American nickel has shrunk so the Indian on it looks as if he was hungry. CALL ★ WHEN GRIEF COMES THOMAS FRAZIER AND COMPANY 389 R. I. AVE. 723TST.N.W.

North 3815 (Continued from page 1) For four years these boys, assisted by lawyers employed by the International Labor Defense fund, have resisted the efforts of Alabama to punish them for an alleged assault on two white women in a freight car near Scottboro. The case has become as celebrated as that of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts and as that of Tom Mooney in California. Lieut. Gov. Thomas E. Knight of Alabama, who as State attorney general prosecuted the Scottboro case, stated that new indictments against the boys would be sought immediately. He said the case would be prosecuted "to the end," pointing out that approximately 90 jurors have concurred in judging the men guilty. Calls it "Body Blow" It is reported that Circuit Solicitor H. G. Bailey, one of the prosecutors in the case, had described the Supreme Court decision as "a body blow" to Southern State courts. He said the decision may have the effect of forcing jury commissioners to place Negroes on juries regardless of their qualifications. Samuel S. Leibowitz, New York attorney, who argued the Norris and Patterson cases before the Supreme Court, asserted he was "thrilled beyond words" at the verdict, adding that he would fight for the freedom of these boys until hell freezes over, because they are innocent." The International Labor Defense issued a statement contending that the decision was "the first great victory ever obtained to offset the Dred Scott decisions." The organizations stated it would move to have the men released at once on writs of habeas corpus. Originally the defendants in the Scottsboro case numbered nine, but at the first trial one was acquitted and a second was handed over to the juvenile court because of his youth. The nine were indicted in March, 1931, on charges of assaulting Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, two white women "hoboing" their way home on a freight train. The noys denied the alleged assault, contending the charge was "framed up" after they became embroiled in a fight with a group of white men riding the freight. Both women testified against the boys at their first trial. Ruby Bates, after a disappearance of some weeks, reappeared with the explanation that her conscience had been bothering her. She repudiated at the second trial of the men her previous testimony. The Supreme Court set aside the first convictions of the boys on the ground that they had not been permitted to consult with counsel in the preparation of their defense. When the men were re-tried their case was removed from Jackson County to Morgan County. Attorneys for the boys at the outset of the trial moved to quash the indictment on the ground that Negroes were barred from sitting on the grand jury. It also was contended that Negroes were barred from trial juries in Morgan County. On both points the State courts overruled the defendants and the case of Norris and Patterson was taken to the Supreme Court. Name List Questioned Speaking in sharply enunciated words for the court, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes reviewed the circumstances regarding jury service by Negroes. He pointed out that it appeared from the evidence that "no Negro had serve on any grand or petit jury in that (Jackson) county within the memory of witnesses who had live there all their lives." He pointed out there were 2,683 Negroes in the county and that at least 30, comprisring members of school boards or trustees of colored schools and property owners and householders, were clearly qualified for jury service. The Chief Justice questioned the genuineness of names of Negroes appearing on jury lists. He cited testimony that the names might have been added since the issue was raised "We are of the opinion," the Chief Justice asserted, "that the evidence required a different result from that reached in the State court. We think that the evidence that for a generation or longer no Negro had been called for service on any jury in Jackson County, that there were Negroes qualified for jury service, that according to the practice of the jury commission their names would normally appear on the preliminary list of male citizens of the requisite age but that no names of Negroes were placed on the jury roll and the testimony with respect to lack of considerations of Negroes, established the discrimination which the Constitution forbids. The motion to quash the indictment upon that ground should have been granted." The court made a similar finding regarding the trial jury in Morgan County, contending that the constitutional requirement that Negroes be admitted to jury service can not be satisfied by mere assertions that colored persons have been considered as prospective jurors. The opinion held it was "a violent" assumption that no Negroes were qualified for jury service. Conventional thinking makes it compulsory upon the hungry man looking in a grocery-store window, to worry whether the grocer is making a profit. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

He also suggested that assemblies be held in the various schools. Hints at Punishment Following refusal of the request the board hinted that action would be taken against students who left their classrooms without permission. Mrs. Mary McNeill, board member, stated that she was of the opinion that the word "strict" was the objectionable feature in the program. A canvass of the three high schools. DurVar, Cardozo and Armstrong, by the Tribune showed that students are taking little interest in the strike. No plans have been formulated for a demonstration at these schools. Dr. Hilver Appointed The board approved the appointment of Dr. Amanda Hilyer to fill the vacancy on the Community Center Council. This vacancy was caused by the death of Dr. Marie Lucas; A report on the inspection of the new Logan School building disclosed that the walk to the school is inclined towards the building which causes a drain to the front of the school. Several other minor defects such as leaky faucets will have to be repaired. Clerks May Be Rehired According to Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson the building will not be ready for occupancy until after April 18. The President will have to sign a bill authorizing a salary for the principal and the board will have to approve his selection. The dates of the Competitive Drill has again been changed. The new date for Divisions 10-13 is May 10-15. Clerks who resigned under the Economy Act will be given an opportunity to become reinstated following an action of the board which empowered the Rules Committee to plan a way whereby this group of school workers may become eligible for reappointment. At present only teachers are eligible since the Economy Act was interpreted as not applying to the District.

WEEK ENDING APRIL 6, 1935 Get at the Cause When the Board of Trustees meet at Howard University Tuesday it is hoped that that body will make an effort to determine the underlying factors that have contributed to the so-called "turmoil" at the institution. It is a well known fact that a minority group has been the cause of the state of unrest which has wracked the school for a number of years. Already three presidents of Howard have left under pressure exerted by this influence. It is time that the trustees take a hand and destroy once for all time this sinister influence that has been the means of undermining the various administrations in attempts to wreck the school in order to further personal ambitions. This group of discontents will stop at nothing to gain their ends. This great educational institution means nothing to them when it comes to satisfying selfish purposes. Already high government officials have stated that it may be necessary to place a white man at the head of the school in order to insure cooperation and harmony. No colored man who is qualified wants the job. All are well aware of the state of affairs and none will risk their future or present position to head an institution that has already chased three presidents away and is now seeking to dispose of another. There has not been a single specific charge against the present head of the school. The various contention advanced by the opposition is that he pastored a small church at one time and is of lowly birth. Most men, and practically all Negroes, came from lowly surroundings and we fail to see where this is anything to be ashamed of. If a single teacher at Howard has a specific charge against the administration, The Tribune will be the first to publish it and if the charge is true and warrants it, this paper will be the first to demand the resignation of the president. The trustees at Howard will take no action without serious consideration. This group of men and women are no doubt tired of being pestered and may feel disposed to make certain recommendations that on the surface appear to clarify the situation. The Tribune urges this board to take under consideration the long years of strife at Howard and the source from which all of the so-called charges come. It will be found that the same group is advocating the dismissal of Dr. Johnson that fought and succeeded in disposing of three other presidents. We agree that the Howard campus needs a cleaning, but we are certain that the broom if directed into certain offices will clean out the real trouble on the hill. Until that time comes the turmoil will continue. The Southern Negro and the Church Under the caption "On This Rock" an amateur writer in the current issue of the "Crisis" puts out a tirade against Christianity and the church that for sheer blasphemy and indecency we have not seen surpassed. Proudly presented by the "Crisis" in the edited headline over his article as "a young colored southern writer raises his voice in protests against the evils of superstition that befog the vision of Negroes below the Mason and Dixon line," he denounces the Negro church in the South "as actually undermining the prop upon which the Southern Negro depends for his inspiration and fortitude." He rates supplication (prayer) as useless, and solemnly points out that "no minority group ever changed its status by supplication and prayer." Declaring that most race newspapers in the South are edited by preachers, he denounces these publications as mere "cheaply printed prayer books!" This newly discovered herald of the Anti-Christites gravely asserts that the "average Negro preacher is timorous and poorly educated," inquires "what intellectual leader of the Negro is at the same time a clergyman?" and then boldly catalogues the N.A.A.C.P. Big Shots as definitely Anti-Christ in these inspired or permitted queries: "Is Walter White a fundamentalist believer in heaven or hell?" "Does DuBois believe that faith in the Lord will finally bring the Negro to opportunity?" "Does Forrester B. Washington open his classes with a prayer?" The Tribune feels free to infer that this author intends the answer to be, that White, DuBois and Washington do none of these reprehensible things. He then proceeds: "One can count upon the fingers of one's hand the few really enlightened men who hold down pulpits below the line of Jim-Crowism." Then comes the capstone of this senseless tirade against the church and her ministers. Not content with a denunciation of the church, abuse of the ministers, revilement of faith and prayer, this pompous unknown proceeds to sneer at the Saviour Himself, whom he styles "the great exemplar" (note the small letters). We do not, of course, hold a journal responsible for the opinions of its correspondents, but in this case some statement either in approval or repudiation would seem to be indicated. For the ravings of this tyre we care less than nothing; but from the "Crisis" the Southern ministers are due an explanation as to why the self-created guide for the "Advancement of Colored People" should serve as the purveyor of abuse and slander against them and their sacred calling. Abuse of the church is a favorite theme for many Negro intellectuals (?)—but when any of them desire to stage a "drive" or "put over a program," straight way he seeks the preacher to furnish the audience and the opportunity. Even while this "Crisis" critic is having his say, his sponsor, the N.A.A. C. P. is staging the all too-frequent campaign to raise funds in these same churches whose ministers are held up to ignoble abuse. The Negro preacher and the Christian religion need fear no evil from such attacks. In these days of industrial gloom and social unrest our chief national safeguard remains the consolation of faith; the efficacy of fervent prayer—our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; respect for our ministers, support for the faith of our fathers—thus lies the way for race advancement. We elect to take our stand upon this rock. Kelly Miller Says Until duly authorized officials have determined the source and responsibility of the so-called turmoil at Howard University. The Tribune shall refrain from carrying the releases of former Dean Kelly Miller when such articles are unfounded attacks on the administration. The releases of Dr. Miller last week and this week were not published as the two articles contained matter which is not only unfounded, but all of the alleged charges by the former teacher have been called unwarranted by Secretary Harold L. Ickes, of the Interior Department, and none are supported by facts. —The Editor.

Wholly aside from my official connection with several organizations of Harlem, I am writing as one who resides in the center of the recent riot area, who personally witnessed the crashing of the first window in the two hundred block of West 125th Street, and who saw many of the incidents that followed on that fateful night of March 19th. First of all, I want to pay tribute to the police who during the first outbreaks used persuasive rather than bullying methods to quell the uprising. Later the situation grew so serious that stronger methods were resorted to. On the whole it must be said that Commissioner Valentine and his men handled the situation in a way to leave no hostility against the force in the hearts of reasonable Harlem citizens. In the next place, I think that Mayor La-Guardia showed commendably good judgement in the promptness with which he issued a poster statement expressing confidence in Harlem citizens as a whole and appointing a representative committee of white and Negro citizens to study the underlying causes as well as the riot itself. While the committee might have been more representative in spots, still it is a committee of reputable citizens that can be depended upon to run down the facts and make a dispassionate presentation to the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING APRIL 6. 1935 Our Last Tour With "De Lawd" Richard A. Harrison By MERCEDES GILBERT ("Zipporrh" of "The Green Pastures") It seems strange that I have always been able to write about the many interesting incidents of "The Green Pastures" company, and now find myself so stunned and grieved, I can hardly put on paper the most sacred incident of my life. "The last tour I made with "The Lawd," Richard B. Harrison. So much has been said about him as "De Lawd" but there is so much that could be said about him as the gentle, kindly man as we, the members of "Green Pastures," knew him. PETER B. How as a star he was more humble than the smallest cherub, sharing with us his sudships, which he could have honors, and our hardships which he could have easily escaped. How he always refused any special favors, Laurence Rivers, Inc., offered him if we were not also included. At southern railroad stations where, on our arrival, taxis were scarce, he always waited his turn, and saw that the women of the cast were taken care of first; sometimes I rebelled against him so but, he he would laugh and say, "It's all right, daughter, I can wait." Many mornings when we had to leave towns around six we would come to the depot sleepy and in a grouch, but he was always cheerful and smiling and on several occasions I happened to be standing near him when he turned to me and said happily, "Gee, but this early morning air does make a body feel good." It shamed me and put me in a better humor. And so it was always his smile leading us on, singing in our hearts his favorite song "Lawd, I don't feel no ways tired" and making the world in which we lived brighter. Everyone everywhere loved him and although our time in each city was limited, he always arrived at the theatre early, and was the last to leave, so that he might have time to meet as many of the people who visited his dressing room as possible. It could truthfully be said, no greater love had any man than Richard B. Harrison. He would have laid down his life for his fellow-man. And I could go on and on, telling of the many incidents that proved his love for us, and of the many sacrifices he made for us as we traveled those last thousands of miles together. To have walked by his side for five years is the greatest blessing I have every received. To the world that knew him, he was a fine actor, a great character, a princely gentleman, but to the members of "The Green Pastures" cast, he was a loving father. "His Promised Land" God took him gently by the hand And led him up Nebo's rugged height. To show him a wondrous "Promised Land" All shining fair and bright. Come on old man, He whispered low. And leave this vale of tears, I'm going to give you a "Promised Land" I've been getting ready for you for years. You have led my children five weary years Through a wilderness of doubt and care, Now you shall have your "Promised Land," For I will lead you there. His work is finished, he kept, the faith, And has reached his "Promised Land" on high He fell asleep in "Pastures Green" But his beautiful spirit will never die. Finally, let me say that I have the utmost confidence in the ability of the people of all races in New York City to work out their problems of relationships satisfactorily when basic economic and social questions are dealt with intelligently and dispassionately. CHANNING H. TOBIAS, Senior Secretary of Colored Work National Y.M.C.A. Council. Writer thinks Lincoln Theatre manager has been overlooked by public. To the Editor: May I, through your columns, extend felicitations to the peers of the theatrical entertainment—Congratulations Shep Allen—Congratulations George Clarke; or may I more properly felicitate in view of seniority service. I notice that some of the people felt that Shep Allen should be given a testimonial. That's all very well, but I cannot understand how in the "five hundred" any one in Washington could think of honoring any one for their service to the public and overlook George Clark, manager of the Lincoln Theatre, who has for seven years served the public willingly and faithfully. I feel free to say that thousands of others, like myself, regard the energetic Mr. Clark as an asset to the community of Washington and an inspiration to the younger people. If we, as the general public, must give honor let's pay particular attention to what the star of "Imitation of Life" said. "Give credit to whom credit belongs." DR. W. G. REID. Says best defense of H.U. President expressed in words of Holy Writ. To the Editor: As an Alumnus of Howard University School of Religion, I wish to express my appreciation of the fairness and Christian attitude you have taken, in the controversies that are taking place there. I think that the best defense of Dr. Johnson's administration can be expressed in the words of the Holy Writ: I Peter 2:23, speaking of our Saviour, says: "Who when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered threatened not; but committed himself to Him that judgeth righteously." The president of Howard is standing on the Rock, he cannot fail. REV. LEON S. WORMLEY, Pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, D.C. Matters not how little a man has there comes a time when he should share it with him who has not. You generally see better times, anyhow, whenever the Christmas neckties begin to wear out. And that time's here! The preachers don't have half as hard a time practicing what they preach as the editor does in believing what he writes. It's hard to keep a good man down. It is also hard to keep a hundred and thirty million people down, especially American people! William Pickens's Observations Come to Order, Ladies! Eleanor Roosevelt! —Frances Perkins!—Martha Iiams! Now, now, now ladies, come to order! Those of us who fought, bled, died and came away, in behalf of women's right to go to college, to enter politics, become cabinet members, and even to assume the role of unofficial female Assistant Presidents of the United States, did not expect you to bring pink-tea manners into the University of California, into the government departments at Washington, and even into the White House! Somebody invited Frances to make a speech at the University of California, without consulting Marta, who seems to occupy some position of authority or influence at that university, and who evidently does not fancy Frances. Therefore Marta showed fight and did what the roughnecks call a "snub" to Frances, by refusing to welcome that precedent-smashing lady to the campus. Whereupon Madame President, the female head of the official family, of which Frances is a member steps forward to put Marta in her place and to save the face of Frances, by explaining to newspapermen that after all small fry like Marta, who is only a college official, cannot really snub a great personage like Frances, who is a government official; that although Frances might be opposed or even attacked, she cannot be "snubbed" by the like of Marta; that the snubber must be in a position to Historical Association Has Done Work Well; Needs Funds Badly By CARTER G. WOODSON The managers of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History believe that in appreciation of the work rendered by this organization during the last twenty years the public will rally in raising a fund of $30,000 to carry out with unwonted vigor the purposes of this organization. The association has no debts, but during the depression its limited income has necessitated the curtailment of work which should not be further suspended. The movement to promote the truth should not lag behind the dissemination of falsehood with respect to the past and present status of the Negro. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again, but not among people who have been denied the opportunity to know the truth. The needs for the $3,000 anniversary fund are various. One of the first things which should be done immediately is to compile and publish an index of the twenty volumes of the Journal of Negro History. During these twenty years practically all the leading libraries and colleges whether in the North, South, East or West, among the whites or the blacks, have acquired complete files of this quarterly scientific reviews. They repeatedly ask for an index to these twenty volumes to facilitate the frequent use of this magazine by students and teachers in these institutions. With the helpful aid of a useful index this work will be more frequently used as an encyclopedia of Negro history inasmuch as almost every aspect of the life and history of the race has been treated in these volumes. Another urgent need for such a fund is to finance further the research now being made in foreign archives to determine the notice taken of the Negro by Europeans and the attitudes which various nations of that continent have had toward the black peoples with which they have come into contact. The association has recently published studies of these attitudes with respect to the English, French, Portuguese, and the Spanish. Plans have been made to carry this further in prosecuting a similar study of the Negro as seen by the Italians, Russians, Germans, Dutch, and Norwegians. Treating this question from the point of view of attitudes reflected in the history, literature and art of these people requires the assistance of the best scholars whose services cannot be secured for a mere pittance. A much larger portion of this fund is required to study further the Negro in Africa. After learning what the Americans and Europeans have thought of the Negro and what relations they have sustained to the race the task has just begun. All scientific study of the Negro in this country or elsewhere must ultimately connect with Africa. To understand the Negro we must understand his beginning. Fortunately, too, the more we penetrate the background of the Africans the more appreciative we become of our race. From that past it is evident that the Africans along with the Asiatics laid the foundation for modern culture. When the European savages went on the Crusades to the Orient they failed to dispassess the Asiatics of the tomb of Christ, but they did take over the knowledge which had developed in African and Asiatic circles and with it civilized their countries on returning home. A large fund should be made available also for the study of the Negro in his relation to the Asiatics, especially the Japanese and Chinese, before Europeans had ever made sufficient progress to know what Africa looked like. These Asiatics touched America on To Do Foreign Research Work Japan, China and Africa feel superior to the snubbed, which position and privilege, according to the pontifications of Eleanor, Martha does not enjoy. Real genuine snubbing, it seems, involves a sort of Einstein relatively theory Now its insinuation by Eleanor, concerning the possible inferiority of the social position of Martha to that of Frances, was perfectly timed and tuned to make Martha fighting mad. Whereat Martha dropped the diplomatic finesse and inneuco usually employed by fighting ladies and shot right back over the press wires from the Pacific Coast a bit of plain and deadly English,—calling Eleanor "presumptuous," "not worth answering" (Martha was giving therefore an answer), "headline seeker," and other names,—concluding the barrage with a nasty shot, somewhat like this: "And why in the hallelujah did we ever elect Eleanor President of these United States in the first place?!" Of course, this first-class female fuss is quite within women's rights,—but ladies, ladies ladies! come to order, please, lest your remarks should shock such gentle, modest and retiring members of the male species, as Hugh Johnson, Huey Long, and Father Coughlin. Soon it may be necessary to reenfranchise the men of the United States in order to bring a refining and softening masculine influence into our politics. It is clear that the strong women who are running these institutions are in need of the gentle touch of husband and male relatives and friends. Not so rough, ladies! the east and Africa toward the southwest of them centuries before the Nordics emerged from the bush. The Africans visited the shores to the east of them thousands of years ag₀ and colonized what is now Latin America. The relation between these peoples of these two Oriental continents and the influence that the one had on the other requires careful investigation. When we note the fact that the Chinese gave the world printing, gunpowder, and the mariner's compass, and that the Negroes of Africa discovered the use of iron domesticated the sheep, goat and cow, made the first stringed instruments and developed trial by jury we can readily see that these nations have been done a great injustice by the Nordics who have appropriated as their own discoveries what Oriental developed. This appeal is made to the Negroes of the county. The rich report their income so impaired as not to permit contributions. The Negroes, moreover, cannot expect some other race to write their history for them, and it is not desirable that this be done. We Must Write Our Own History The great trouble with the Negro today is that his history has been written by some one else who has perverted it. As one said about a century ago, "The portrait of the Negro has seldom been painted except by the oppressor, and the Negro has sat for that portrait in the distorted attitude of slavery." Now that the Negro has become aroused to write his own history he must learn to finance the effort himself. Negro historians are now saying that the Nordic has shown bias and falsehood in referring to their race, and they cannot expect the traductor to pay them to make him out a liar. To raise this fund of $30,000 each state in which the Negro population is considerable has been asked to raise a special quota. Some of those co-operating with the association in this drive are raising their quotas by calling upon each city in the state to assume the raising of a definite amount. Others are making state-wide appeals. Florida is undertaking to raise a thousand dollars. Virginia is at work to do its best to match Florida. West Virginia has already raised $125. Michigan has contributed $150. Illinois has given $200. The District of Columbia has surpassed this with $325. Missouri is busy at the task and will report later. Texas makes a similar report. Other points also interested have not yet developed their plans sufficiently to say definitely what they have done. The appeal is gripping the nation, however, and daily reports reach the office assuring the management of an increasing interest. Hints on TUBERCULOSIS T.

The Newshawk shares this sentiment with Congressman Mitchell. He also agrees with the Congressman when he says: "The hope of the Negro race is in the Democratic Party. The political downfall of the Negro has been his failure to see virtue in any party except the Republican party and this will continue to be a millstone around our necks. "The Negro is doing fairly well in this country. Our growth must be slow; it is going to take more than one generation to secure the things needed for the adequate development of our group. The building of a race is a lifetime job." Congressman Mitchell is a much misunderstood man. Somehow it has been falsely rumored that he is a "Uncle Tom Type," that he cares little for his race and that he disrespects or is not cognizant of the potential power of the Negro weekly press over the destinies of any Negro in public life.

Dr. Abram Harris of Howard University getting a Guggenheim Fellowship. A certain Mr. and Mrs. were ever so anxious to make things pleasant for one of the visiting Deans (in attendance at the Ninth Annual Session of the Association of Collegiate Deans and Registrars at Howard University last week) but they hardly knew how to go about it. They couldn't take the Dean for a ride, for with their "struggling buggy" trembling, and with its puffing and blowing pounding on the Dean's uneasy ears, how could the man have rested his eyes on the pretty cherry blossoms. the Washington Monument or even the Lincoln Memorial? They couldn't engage the Dean in a couple of gamers of bridge (he's a preacher, bless his heart). So the very obliging couple loaded their table down with chicken (and a lot of other goodies) and the last they heard of the teacher-preacher he was softly singing "Lord. I'm Satisfied." "Young" is a good enough name but Mrs. Julia Ann Young decided that "Fickling" would be much better. So she and young Austin (son of the ever-so-popular piano player, Douglas Fickling) went to see the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, The venerable minister read a couple of paragraphs and preso! Mrs. Young had disappeared and the new Mrs. Fickling stood right there in her place. Now we known why the N. O. U's couldn't get hold of Mr. Charles Cornish when they had their big affair. He was seeing gay New York. All this talk about women having the last word and everything is a lot of—well, look what happened the other Sunday afternoon, Rev, R. M. Williams and Albert Beverly of Wallach Place, met at a pretty Tea in Brookland and got to talking of old times in Texas. The lovely Marcella (Mrs. Beverly) sat not three feet away but she couldn't even get in a word edgewise. The season Messrs. Robert Bates. Samuel Pierre. William Johnson. Boyd Clark. Andrew J. Samuels and Doctors T. C. Smith. Joseph Brazier, William T. Parker. Fred Jolie. H. C. Beldon. Oliver Humble got into their Easter humble three weeks ahead of schedule was because they wanted to see how good they could look when they got their pictures "took" for the old College book. Speaking of photographs, the McDuffie's (Dr. and Mrs. J. A.) have been celebrating some kind of an anniversary and as a happy memo there a clever cut of the couple and the popular Clyde (their son) peeping out at you when you walk out of the U Street Boulevard. Mrs. Edna Monroe. Washington school-matam and member of the Dett Choral Society (the club that is getting ready to do big things) looking ever so smart the other day in a pretty Spring print. Overheard a couple of "Derbys" discussing their soon-to-be Spring dance. So now is the time for lovely ladies to look around for brand new evening gowns. (If you can't afford a blue-green net or a fluffy new chiffon add some lace to the old black dress and leave it to the Derbys to make things just so pliant that you'll forget about your garb). There must be something to that "Laugh and grow fat" idea. Take Mr. Cortez Peters, for instance. Every time you even hear of him he's almost laughing out loud at the way the typists in his school are breaking all kinds of speed records. And just see what a well-fed look he's wearing. Dr. Maceo Patterson of Baltimore ran over to Washington the other Sunday evening and although it was raining "cats and dogs" there was sunshine in a certain D. C. teacher's heart. Maybe it was the popularity of Dr. Parker (William T.) Maybe the news got out that half of Washington's pretty misses were scheduled to participate. Maybe young Morris Murray of the Tribune "Mouthpiece" (who did the master of ceremony-ing) helped a lot. At any rate the Fashion Show and big Revue on the Colonnade the other Friday night went over with a bang. There were so many people present they sat on the balcony rails. And when your humble servant arrived at twenty after eight all the rails were taken about her and sat down in the aisle. And sitting right near her in just enough space to comfortably accommodate two small-sized individuals, were Mrs. Josephine Johnson of 715 Irving Street, Mrs. Margaret Chinn of M Street, (and the cute miss from Indianapolis who was with her). Also Mrs. Mabel Hundley who was so buoy watching her small son. Carl, "willinging" for war with the wooden soldiers that she didn't realize just how crippled she was. Helping to take tickets was Miss Dorothy Downs who was so attractive in a red dress that THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE one young man turned twice to look at her after he had handed in his ticket. Baldwin's orchestra furnished the merry strains that enlivened the jolly models. And how well the models did look all dressed up in Reid's Corner clothes (Kaufman and Liberal, too). Mrs. Maxine Jackson showed you whit to wear when you're out for a morning gallop. Tall, slim Ada Dean let you see how grand a black dress is for evening. But you were there and saw it all. Saw cunning Gwendolin Biddle and graceful Marie Dickson in their pretty dances. You saw the acrobatic Armolds, pretty Jean Taylor and her "Personality Girls." You heard Odessa Pyles moan "If the Moon Turns Green." You saw' Ada Fisher (in a cloud of mist net) dancing a pretty specialty with Raymond Glascoe. You saw Lucrecia Lindsey and the Butterflies "dancing in the rain." You saw the Shadow Waltz featuring some of Washington's happy young steppers. But by this time the crowd had grown so thick about me I couldn't see the rest. Anyway, I wouldn't tell you if I knew. And it serves you right for missing the Fashion Show-Revue. One-Act Tourney to Be Held Friday The fifth annual Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association one-act play tournament, with Morgan College, Virginia State College, Hampton Institute, and Virginia Union University participating, will be held Friday, April 5 at 8 p.m. in Garnet-Patterson Auditorium with the Howard Players of Howard University as hosts.

"The action of the Texas Demo- ezatic Convention in May, 1932, in \miting party members to white citizens qualified to vote under State laws was challenged by R. RB. Grovey, a 44-year-old Harris County colored resident. Law Invalidated in 1932 In 1932 the Supreme Court de- @ared invalid 9 Texas statute which prohibited Negroes from yot~ ing at Democratic elections. Since then the same results have been sought by action of the Democratic party organization. ‘Asserting he was qualified under State laws to vote as a member of the Democratic party, Grovey said he was prevented from doing so in the July, 1934, Democratic primary through ‘refusal of Albert Town- gend, county clerk, to give him a ballot. ‘He sued for $10 damages in a _ court and lost, — Althoug’ is small amount gives no right ef appeal, the Supreme Court ‘agreed to review the case. ~~ - Holds Right not Denied ‘The high court held Grovey wa: not deprived of any constitutional tice Roberts. delivering the opinion, said the State convention was recognized by the State as having the right to arrange for elections, “We hold the party was a volun. tary association and was compe- tent to decide its membershiv,” he asserted. No dissent was announced. This was the fourth time Texas Negroes had appealed to the high court in asserting constitutiona! right to vote in Democratic pu- maries. The first case, in 1924, was not decided on its merits because the ground for the complaint had beer removed before the high cour could act, Ty 1927 the court held uncon- stitutional a Texas law which pre vented Negroes from voting. In th 1952 decision the court declares invalid a statute whieh authorizes the State Democratic Executive Committee to prevent Negroes from voting at primary elections. ‘The court held the statute had created the committee as an agent of the State. Justice Roberts said his refusal ot Townsend to furnish Grovey 2 ballot did not constitute an act of the State. This left only the ques- tion, the justice said, of whethe: the action of the Democratic con yention invaded the Negro’s con ‘shitational rizhts, 400.

Porter 39, former advertising salesman for a Baltimore paper, was declared sane by Dr. Edgar A. Bocock, superintendent of Gallinger Municipal Hospital in a statement to Judge Issac R. Hitt last Friday. Porter's wife, Mrs. Viola-Porter, 1300 Florida Avenue, also an advertising solicitor for the Baltimore paper, had her husband arrested and charged with threat. He is alleged to have threatened to kill her on March 14. When Mrs. Porter was called to the stand last Friday in police court she refused to testify against her husband and the judge ordered the case against Porter dismissed. However, Assistant District Attorney Kindleberger asked the court to admonish the woman for having the warrant sworn out and then refusing to testify. The former salesman was admitted to Gallinger Hospital several weeks ago where he was confined in the Psychiatric Department under mental observation. On his release Dr. Bocock declared that the man is not insane and is responsible for the act which he is alleged to have committed Law Students Present Mock Murder Trial The students of the John M.

Caught Wife i Husband Says Wife "Framed" Him to go on Fatal Ride Richard Davis Tells Court Mate Sent Him Fake Telegram and Planned "Ride" to Get Him Out of Way. Caught Wife in Car The old eternal triangle with a new and vicious angle was unfolded in police court Friday morning before Judge Isaac R. Hitt when a wife had her husband arrested and accused of beating her in the street and the husband charged his wife with infidelity, associating with white men and framing him to go on a trip to be "bumped off." Says She Was Beaten Mrs. Janice Davis, a pretty brown skinned girl, stated to the court that she is employed as a maid at 4904 Seventh Street, Northwest, and was attacked near her place of employment last Saturday night by her husband who blackened her eye. Davis said his wife made arrangements for him to make the trip to Virginia in an automobile of a friend of hers. He said she did not want to go with him, but on insisting she finally decided to attend the funeral. On reaching Warrenton Davis said his mother was very much alive and his sister knew nothing of the telegram. Fake Telegram Sent The man accused his wife of sending the telegram and framing to send him on the trip to be killed. On reaching Washington Saturday he decided to do some detective work and trailed his wife up Georgia Avenue where he saw her enter an automobile. On approaching the car, Davis said a white man jumped out and ran. He stated that he pulled his wife out of the machine and in doing so she bumped her head against the side of the door making a slight bruise on her face. He denied striking her. Judge Hitt after dismissing the charge against Davis advised him to take his troubles to the Court of Equity. The man was represented by Attorney C. W. Williams. --- SECOND SECTION New fire apparatus, a $100,000 twelve-room addition to the Randall Junior High School, and increased appropriations for the Health Department, were asked in hearings last week before the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations by the Southwest Civic Association in a statement submitted by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the civic body Pointing out that the Commissioners had cut Fire Chief Schrom's request for eight pieces of firefighting apparatus to six; that the Budget Bureau had recommended three hose wagons and one pumping engine at a total of $34,500; and the House Committee on Appropriations had cut the item to $18,500 for one hose wagon and one pumping engine the civic body urged that the Senate appropriate at least $34,500 for three hose wagons and one pumping engine. Southwest Has Only One Piece of Modern Apparatus Dr. Johnson stated that there was only one piece of modern fire-fighting apparatus among the three fire companies and one fire-boat in the Southwest section. Among the 30 hose wagons in active service in the Fire Department, 13 are 70 horsepower or over; 7 are 48 horsepower; 3 are 38 horsepower; 5 are 33 horsepower; and 2 are 27 horsepower, and the two 27 horsepower hose wagons are at No. 4 and Not 13, he pointed out. Submitting as an exhibit a humorous newspaper story occurring in a local paper last July in which the hose wagons at No. 4 and No. 13 were described as backing up hills to fires, being cranked by hand on cold mornings, and the firemen beating their hose wagons to fires by running. Dr. Johnson stated: "In this connection, I have never seen these hose wagons back up a hill to a fire, nor have I seen the firemen outrun their hose wagons, but I do understand that at the last fire at the Capitol, the No. 4 hose wagon had to stop, and shift from its 22-mile-an-hour high speed, to first gear or low speed in order to climb the jiblite hall coming up into the Capitol grounds." Addition to Randall School In urging* that the Senate approve the $100,000 addition to the Randall Junior High School, Dr. Johnson pointed out that the item had been approved by the Board of Education, Board of Commissioners, Budget Bureau, and the House Committee on Appropriations. "This school serves," he stated, "not only the children of the 12,000 colored residents of Southwest Washington, but also colored children of junior high school age from (Continued on page 3) The old eternal triangle with a new and vicious angle was unfolded in police court Friday morning before Judge Isaac R.

Says She Was Beaten Mrs. Janice Davis, a pretty brown skinned girl, stated to the court that she is employed as a maid at 4904 Seventh Street, Northwest, and was attacked near her place of employment last Saturday night by her husband who blackened her eye. An entirely different version was disclosed by Richard Davis who says he is employed in Baltimore. Davis said he and his wife have been separated for about three weeks, but before that he had been "suspicious of her." Last Friday he received a telegram at his home announcing that his mother, Mrs. Maggie Davis, of Warrenton, Va., was dead. The message was signed by Mary Davis, who is a sister of the husband A| RIGHT TO LIVE AS MEN, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. FOR THIS WE DEDI- CATE OUR LIVES. L. A. PORTER IS DECLARED SANE BY AUTHORITIES Newspaper Woman Has Mate Arrested on Charge of Threatening Her Fake Telegram Sent WASHI OARD HOUSTON CHARGES MOSCOW DESERTED SCOTTSBORO BOYS Bernard Ades Says NAACP Benefits Upper Strata In Debate Dean Charles H. Houston, of Howard University Law School, charged Thursday night in a debate with Bernard Ades before members of the Liberal Arts Club of the institution, that as soon as the United States government had recognized the Russian government, Moscow had run out from under the International Labor Defense and left it to hold the bag in the Scottsdale cases. Ades, who defended for the International Labor Defense Euel Lee in the Maryland courts and was in turn defended by Houston when efforts were made to bar him from practice in that state and Houston debated on effective forms of legal defense, as represented in the tactics of the International Labor Defense and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Ades declared that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was never a part of the Scottsboro Legal Defense because of a bankruptcy of idens, and because its purpose in organization was to benefit the upper strata rather than the masses of Negroes. Mr. Houston conceded that support of the N.A.A.C.P. by the Negro masses had been restricted to the payment of dues by some and of the leaving of the work to a few officers and that the LL.D. had succeeded in impressing upon the most insignificant of its members a personal relationship to the organization program. Sought to Win Negro Mr. Houston pointed to November 16, 1933, when the United States formally recognized Russia, as a date of great historical importance, stating: "Prior to that time it was Russia and the United States at each other's throats. Russia was entitled to protect itself by undermining the loyalty of the Negro and making it impossible for the United States to present a united front. But after recognition the two countries were supposedly friendly and at peace with each other. Activities Halted "Prior to November 16, the Communist Party was pressing the Negro question on all fronts. Huge Scottsboro demonstrations were staged abroad to expose to the world American exploitation of the Negro. We have not heard about any big foreign demonstrations since November 16, 1933. Here in America prior to November 16, 1933, we had Scottsboro street parades, Scottsboro demonstrations, every town had its local Scottsboro Committee. "The LLD, kept the press full of Scottsboro news and items. But recently we have heard very little about Scottsboro. The resistance which the LLD. has put up against the efforts of the American Scottsboro Committee to take the case away from it has been weak and palsied compared with its militant activity in the first stages of the struggle. Death Ends Suit for Separate Maintenance Death ended the maintenance suit Mrs. Annie E. Keys, 1315 Florida Avenue, Northwest. filed against her husband. Charles S. Keyes, former billiard player, operator. Mr. Keyes died March 22 at Gallinger Hospital, Besides her suit for alimony, Mrs. Keyes sought the management of the property jointly owned by the couple at the Florida Avenue address. The husband was represented by Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins while Attorney Austin F. Canfield represented Mrs. Keyes. Former D-C.

Household Servants are Most Numerous on Country's Relief Nearly Half of Workers on Public Emergency Rolls in Cities and Towns Came From Personal and Domestic Occupations About 386,000 or 45 per cent of the 856,800 Negro workers on public emergency, relief rolls in cities and towns of the United States in May 1934 came to relief from domestic and personal service occupations, it was announced by Corrington Gill, assistant administrator, Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Almost half of this group were formerly employed as household servants. They numbered 155,600 and amounted to more than one-fifth of the workers on relief. The other 201,400 workers in the service group were experienced as cooks, waiters, laundry workers, hotel employees, cleaners porter, etc. Only about 11,400 men and 5,900 women on relief in May were for merely clerks in offices or stores. Sixteen hundred men on urban relief were formerly farmers and another 1900 were wholesale or retail dealers. Only 4,000 women and 2,700 men on the relief rolls were classed as professional workers. Compared With Whites Compared with the whites in the relief population the Negro workers included a greater proportion with previous work experience. Only six per cent of the women and three per cent of the men workers on relief had had no previous work experience. In the Most Are Women Women represented more than four-fifths of these workers from service occupations. Some 813,7,0 or nearly three-quarters of all women workers on relief came from such occupations, and 181,900, or more than two-fifths, had formerly been servants in homes. About 72,300 men, or one-sixth of the male workers on relief, came from the service occupations These figures are based on a survey of the "Occupational Characteristics of Persons Receiving Relief in 79 Cities in May" conducted by the FERA Division of Research Statistics and Finance, under the supervision of Howard B. Myers, assistant director of the division. The survey produced the first definite information on the occupational experience of the workers on relief and their capacities for reemployment. It is expected that such information will be useful in determining the types of projects which should be planned under the relief work program. 70,000 Skilled Workers About 169,400 of the male workers on relief were unskilled laborers, it was found. Another 88,400 were semi-skilled workers. About 40,000 of these were factory workers and 38,000 were truck drivers or chauffeurs before coming on relief. Nearly 70,000 were skilled workers. They were formerly employed as farm managers, mechanics of various kinds, painters carpenters, building workers, plumbers machinists, electricians, etc. The women workers on relief who did not come from the service occupations were chiefly factory workers by occupation. About 50,000 women factory workers were receiving relief in urban areas in May. Few White Collar Workers The proportions of "white collar" workers on relief, of both sexes, were much smaller than the proportions in the total urban relief population. Only three per cent of the women on relief and four per cent of the men came from "white collar" occupations, while in the total urban relief population, 16 per cent of the women and 14 per cent of the men workers on relief were formerly employed at such Only about 11,400 men and 5,900 women on relief in May were formerly clerks in offices or stores. Sixteen hundred men on urban relief were formerly farmers and another 1900 were wholesale or retail dealers. Only 4,000 women and 2,700 men on the relief rolls were classed as professional workers. Compared With Whites Compared with the whites in the relief population the Negro workers included a greater proportion with previous work experience. Only six per cent of the women and three per cent of the men workers on relief had had no previous work experience. In the white population, 18 per cent of the women workers and five per cent of the men were without such experience. In the case of the workers on relief, those without experience were chiefly young persons unable to find work since reaching employable age. In the white relief population the men workers were three times as numerous as the women workers. In the relief population the number of workers was the same among the women as among the men, about 433,000 in each case. LOCAL BOY FISH VICTIM NEW YORK—Albert F j s h (white) aged monster sentenced to die on April 29 for the gruesome murder and mutilation of little Grace Budd, (white) confessed that among the five victims he had enticed was a colored boy. While living in a houseboat along the Virginia side of the Potomac, District of Columbia, Fish admitted he enticed the boy aboard his boat. After keeping the lad prisoner for two weeks, he became frightened by the approach of another houseboat. Fearing the screams would arouse suspicion, Fish fled deserting the boat. He wasn't sure of the time that he held the boy but thought it was 15 or p0 years ago. Who the boy was or whether he died, the old man did not know.
