TEACHER PULLED FROM CAR, SAYS WIFE LYNCHING PERIL LIVES The Most News Cleanest News Latest News VOL. XV. No.1 LYN BORAH FLAYS ANTI-LYNCH; BILL DIES Idahoan Joins Hand With Southerners; Fili-buster Wins A surprise attack by Senator William E. Borah (Republican). of Idaho, sent the Wagner-Costigam anti-lynching bill into the discard yesterday (Wednesday). As a result the administration emerged victorious in its effort to sidetrack the highly controversial sectional matter. Borah, for many years considered one of the country's outstanding constitutional authorities, assailed the measure as a certain dooming of state rights and sovereignty. His speech was injected into the seventh day's flibustering conducted chiefly by southern members. It was begun last Wednesday under the leadership of Senators Walter F. George, of Georgia, and Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina. As the session opened Senator Bankhead (D.) of Alabama resumed the Southern contest against a vote on the Costigan motion to call up the anti-lynching bill when the Senate met. Senator Bankhead spoke in rambling fashion. He began by discussing the depression, described "the plight of the people" and warned that industrial communities were suffering as much as farm communities. Borah's denunciation came late in the afternoon and proved to be just the momentum necessary to send the issue into a passe state. For a full week a battle had been staged for and against the Costigan-Wagner bill. In the face of 5,000 lynchings in the last 50 years, and the failure of the states to wipe out the crime, they sought the enactment of a federal statute to enable the federal government (Continued on Page 9) D.C.

Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell who is supporting Scott, announced that Scott would be nominated without difficulty in spite of the opposition.

Brooks Pleads for Educational Opportunities Pastor of Local Church Honored at Dinner in New York PETER H. BURTON REV. WALTER H. BROOKS A former slave 83 years ago, a magazine editor, a university president and a business man pleaded, last week, at a luncheon in the Hotel Ambassador, New York, for a square deal for the Negro in education, in employment and in his relations with the white race. They rated greater educational opportunity as the chief need of the race, especially in the North. While the South is fairly well supplied with colleges and universities for Negroes, they emphasized that there is only one such institution for Negroes, in the North. Lincoln University near Oxford in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Within 100 miles of it is a Negro population of a million, the largest of any like area in the world, they stated. Dr. Brooks Honored The occasion was a luncheon given by Dr. Henry Goddard Leach, editor of The Forum, in honor of the ex-slave, the Rev Walter Brooks, D. D., who graduated from Lincoln in 1872 when a few years out of slavery and has been pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, D. C., for more than fifty years. The other speakers were: Dr. William Hellock Johnson, president of Lincoln University, and J. Frederick Talcott, of New York, a member of its Board of Trustees. Dr. Leach presided. Pleads for Education "That I am here at all, not as a hireling, nor an intruder, but the guest of honor, is evidence indisputable that changes are occurring in this land which point to a brighter future," said Dr. Brooks. "Let me beseech you to do for the million black people of the North something comparable to the benefactions of your sires and grand-sires, in giving to the South institutions of learning like Howard and Fisk. Hampton and Tuskegee, and others. Why not make Lincoln University the pride and power of the North in meeting the educational needs of this section of the country?" Dr. Johnson declared that if the colored portion of our population "is sometimes called backward as a group it is not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of opportunity." Mr. Talcott said that Lincoln University needs $400,000 to expand and improve its buildings in order to keep pace with the demands upon it. It is the country's oldest institution for higher education of the Negro. "The White Problem" Dr. Leach declared that he was "one of those for whom there is no 'Negro problem,' only the common problem of American education," and he wondered if "our colored friends do not look upon us Caucasians as their 'White Problem.'" He said that "the problem of the colored race should be re-stated in terms of reciprocal responsibilities of both white and colored races." "We rejoice in the representative character of this gathering," he continued. "It is an asset to the cause of Negro education and race relationships as well as indication of our goodwill toward the race which our guest of honor represents. "It is a happy privilege also for me personally to be able to present Dr. Brooks." Dr. Brooks' Moving Address Dr. Brooks, in spite of his age, is a powerful speaker. He deeply moved the audience of white men and women with his piquant plea for his people and his recital of his early days in slavery. He said in part: "I am not here as a self-exhibit, but as a product of the work of Lincoln University long years ago and as a plea to American philanthropy for a mightier and grander Lincoln University in the future. For it is in obedience to the institution of learning, which made me what I am, in fitness in this that I have been prosecuting these three-score years, and more. I appear in this presence. Lincoln University is saying to you today. We took this man, when he was a boy, just one year out of slavery. timid, ignorant and poor, and seven years later we gave him to the world, changed in body, quickened and disciplined in intellect, newborn in spirit and full of zeal to carry blessings to his people, for all of the phases of this life and for the life to come. What Lincoln University has done for this man she has done for others. Is not the work of Lincoln University worthy of your highest commendation; and should not Northern philanthropy give millions to this institution of learning, in order that she may count her student body by thousands, and do a work a hundred-fold greater in quality? Guests Among those present at the luncheon were: Paul D. Cravath, Elon Huntington Hooker, Henry Morgenthuah, Mr. and Mrs. F. Louis Slade, Mrs. Sidney C. Borg, Mrs. Learned Hand, Charles C. Burlingham, Mrs. Ripley Hitchcock, Mrs. Ransom S. Hooker, Miss Fannie Hurst, George A. Plimpton, Russell W. Davenport, Miss Mae Cairn, Mrs. George Aubrey Hastings, Burry C. Smith, William H. Baldwin.

Thomas, pastor, local agents of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company will join the public in paying homage to the memory of the late Madam C. J. Walker.

Ransom who gave up a lucrative law practice some twenty odd years ago to devote his energies to the growing Walker business and by whose management the assets of the company have been conserved will be in Washington for this meeting and aside from eulogizing the late Madam Walker, promises to analyze the economic ills of the Negro today stress the need of ridding the race of traitors and developing a consciousness that will make for more jobs among us.

BEARER BETHEL—HOUSE OF GOD Text: And he called the name of that place Bethel—Genesis 28:19. Jacob was in flight from his home and from the wrath of his brother whose birthright he had stolen. He rested at a certain place and had a glorious vision. Awakening, he dedicated the stone on which he rested and called the place Bethel—house of God. 1. Every House So-Called Is Not So. We dedicate a church and say it is the House of God. But it cannot be when we desecrate it. Some such places are used for commercial purposes. In them we see selling and even gambling to secure money for their support. Shame: 2. Every Home Should Be a House of God. The home is the chief training place for citizens of the nation. Its influence in human life is superlative. It may be compared to a mighty river ever rushing on and fertilizing human life. That it may be contributory to human good it must be purified and sustained by power Divine. It must be a House of God. The House of God as designated by Jacob in this text, means "house where God comes, dwells, influences, directs and blesses." So every church should be a house of God—God should visit and bless it. Every home should make sure of Divine presence there and it should be conducted as to insure His presence in it. For the church every priest should contend for the presence of God, and every parent should make place for Divine presence in the home.

Capital View News By H. Cavanaugh Mouton Woman has proved herself a mental, moral and spiritual superior to man due to her courageous manner in which she is able to meet the crisis and make the best of it, since the superiority of any human being is determined by this fact. according to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs in an address to the Women's Club of Capital View Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. she clinched this thought by referring to the first woman who, after seeing that she had made a big mistake by tempting Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, and be driven out of the Garden, she made the best of it. Made no excuse for doing it. but patterned some skirts out of fig leaves and left the garden. On Sunday morning the Rev. Mrs. Holman of Capital View preached on "Standing By the Cross," in which she charged the women in the homes, in their places of employment, etc. to stand by the cross, as did the women of old, if they would have their burdens lifted. A musical literary program climaxed the women's day program at 8:30 Sunday night. A record number attended each service and a considerable sum was realized. This amount was four dollars more than the men's club raised a month ago. Pan American Day was celebrated Monday before the holidays with a most impressive program given by the children representing the control group in Character Education under the direction of Mrs. L. H. Pinchbach. The opening song was "America the Beautiful" by the school, after which the "Meaning of Pan American Day" was given by Margaret Johnson. "The Origin and Significance of Pan American Day" was then discussed by Helen Gant. Mildred Thompson, and Audrey Parker. Then there was the presentation and description of the flags of the twenty-one Republics of the Pan American Union. Each girl carried the particular flag of which she spoke and the sight was really beautiful as these girls assembled upon the stage. The American Hymn was then sung followed by remarks by Miss L. C. Randolph and Mrs. B. B. Butcher. The assembly before Easter was in charge of Mrs. L. J. Edwards' section, Margaret Lyles presiding. The stage was beautifully decorated with lilies, a hydrangea plant and other flowers. After the reading of the Bible the Lord's prayer was recited, after which the song "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" was sung. "The Meaning of Easter," was given by Arline Anderson and the recitation "An Easter Lily" by Margaret Lyles. The Story of the Resurrection was very interestingly told by Violet Coleman and was followed by a dialogue "Go Tell." The program was concluded by the singing of "March to Victory," by the section.

VIOLIN PRODIGY TO APPEAR HERE Romaine Brown Astounds Music Critics with Mastery of Instrument The newest star on the musical firmament that has astounded critics with his unusual mastery of the violin is little Romaine Brown 11-year-old prodigy who gave his first authentic recital last March in Roerich Hall. New York City. Romaine was born in Philadelphia and is the son of the late Leon Henry and Cecelia Foster Brown. He began his musical education at five years under the supervision of the distinguished violinist, Gertrude Martin, head of the violin department of the Martin-Smith Music School, with whom he is still studying. He has been the recipient of many honorary awards in that institution. Although a small boy, this young musician plays with conservative maturity that becomes an artist much in advance of his years. He has been accustomed by the leading critics as one of the most outstanding artists on the concert stage. Despite the fact that he gives considerable time to study he is every inch a boy and takes delight in doing stunt riding on a bicycle, is fond of skating, football, baseball, track and hiking. He delights in reading books, newspapers and is the possessor of a police dog which is his constant companion. He takes his baton to bed with him and quite often his mother finds him beating time in his sleep. Romaine is being sponsored by Robert T. Murray, 3rd, well known baritone and native of Washington. Mr. Murray has recently returned here from New York where he appeared on many distinguished programs. Mr. Murray appeared at the Wayside Spiritualist Church of which Mother Vanderbilt Smith is leader and on a special Harry T. Burleigh program at the Utopia Home.

B.-Please tell me if I will be successful with what I have planned? Ans.: It seems that your husband is just as anxious to get that divorce as you are. I believe that you will find yourself divorced much sooner than you had anticipated, and I don't think you will receive the expected alimony. K. J.—When will I be able to earn a good living? Ans.: I believe you will find yourself living much to your satisfaction during the late summer and early fall of this year. You won't be able to find a better job but there seems to be a certain party who is very anxious to provide for you, and I think you will accept him. R. J. B.—Can you tell me if I am going to be what I think I am going to be? Ans: You know quite well that you are about to become a man with family responsibilities, so instead of worrying about it, you had better make up your mind what you are going to do about it. M. W.—Will I be able to get a good husband or not, or will I ever be able to get one? Ans: I think you will be married before the end of next year, and I also believe you will get a good man, but I can't promise you that he will make a good husband; that depends entirely on how you treat him. C. G.—Do you think I will ever find my pig? Ans.: I think it would be best if you would stop thinking about the pig, because he seems to be gone for good. In fact. I believe he passed through a sausage grinder several months ago. H. H. S.—Would I be doing right if I do what I have planned to do? Ans.: I think you are very foolish to consider selling that little piece of land you have and moving to the city. You couldn't live more than twelve months on the money NOTE: Your question answer clipping of this column is enclosed ply—send a quarter (25c) and a for my NEW ASTROLOGY READ FREE advice on three (3) quest BIRTH DATE, and CORRECT ADDE Wallace, care of WASHINGTON T west, Washington, D.C.

You had better remain just where you are. E. L. P.—Will I do what I have planned soon? Ans.: It seems that there will be some delay in your plans but I believe that you will be able to make the trip to Chicago sometime this year. T. E.—Will you please tell me if my husband has another girl? Ans.: No indeed, your husband does not have another girl and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for thinking such a thing. Furthermore, so long as you are cheating on him the way you are, you wouldn't have much room to talk if he did. As good as your husband is to you, if you aren't going to play fair and square with him, then you shouldn't ruin his life by staying on with him. B. G.—Why don't, my sister come home? Ans.: Your sister would be more than glad to return home but it is impossible for her to do this now. Since her husband died, it is up to her to make a living for her children and now that she has a fairly good job, it will be much to her advantage to remain there. However, I do believe that you will see her the latter part of this summer. P. L.—Why did my girl friend stop me from coming to see her? Ans.: For a very good reason. Her husband found out that she had been going with other men and he certainly put a stop to it. She won't be able to see you again so it will be best for you to forget about her and find someone else that interests you. F. H.—Why didn't this man send me a check like he said he would? F. H.—Why didn't this man send me a check like he said he would? Ans. This man had plenty reason not to send you the check for the articles he bought from you.

Standing head and shoulders a- bove them all is Eulace Peacock. Sharing highest honors in the clas- sic with Anton Kishon of Bates as double winners, Peacock clipped one-tenth of a second off the relay mark for the much-heralded 100- meter dash, the feature of the two- day carnival, and leaped 25 feet % inch to capture the running broad jump with a near-record distance.

His time was only three-tenths slower than the world record held jointly by his racial competitors. Ralph Met- calfe and Eddie To!an. Peacock won the dash with two feet to spare.

Willis Ward, Wolverine sprinter, pulled a tendon running jn the fourth heat of the 100-meters and was forced to withdraw from the track at the 40-yard mark.

Peacock match- ed stride for stride with Fleming and Neujass for the first 40 yards of the century then, as though be- ing suddenly catapuated from be- swbitd, whizzed down the cinderpath to win going away. The Temple ace’s easy, seemingly, effortless stride carried him to the tape marking the finish of the now his- torie race two steps ahead of the classy field.

The reports were circulated a- round the Franklin Field scene of the Penn Games that Ward would come to Washington to enter the Howard Law School and would either head or assist in coaching the Bison football and track teams. Clarence W. Davis, head of the Department of Physical Educa- tion, told the Tribune Tuesday that Ward had told him he planned on studying law but that the athlete did not indicate where this course would be taken. There is a possibility Ward will be granted a scholarship to the Blue and White law school in con- sideration of the services given to the development of Bison grid and cinder teams. eg US.

The Hillsdales have long been a favorite on the Bailey Park grounds. Their winning of the city championship last year did much to raise their stock in that section. White's outfit is likely to have as much rooting support from. the Maryland fans as they will from the large number of Washington- ians which usually follow the Prides of LeDroit Park about.

No definite choice has been named by the Hillsdale man- agement as yet, however, Russell, fast’ ball artist of the Tigers who last year was compell- ed to idle most of the season on ac- count of a broken ankle, is believed to hold the best chance of being nominated by Manager Braxton. The big right-hander has always been troublesome to the locals. Game time is set for 2:30 o'clock.

First Leap Best He came from the. jumping pit to take the first trial heat of the 100-yard dash, the first two men qualifying for the finals and the Amercian championship on Saturday. Owens then returned to the pit where he tried to better his mark but failed although on each of his jumps he bet- tered the old Drake record made by Brooks.

Seventeen thousand came out to see the relays on Sat- urday. Many were drawn to the stadium because of the feat of Owens the day before.

And now that heart-grip- ping final quarter of a mile. Wallender was off. He was in lane five and it looked like he was farther in the lead than what he really was. The crowd rose. There was si- lence. LuValle who is 4-A in- ter-collegiate quarter-mile champion had a_ beautiful stride, He took the baton in hand too near the end of the stand and cut in front of two runners to trail Wallender on the first turn. Sets Dizzy Pace He opened up at a dizzy pace. The crowd became ex- cited. What a race, oh what a race between that sun-tan- ned University of Texas star and the colored boy who was about Wallender’s sun-tanned color. Down that back stretch stride for stride they went. Nearing the third turn Lu- Valle went into the lead. The fourth and last curve and now for the battle. Wallender challenged _ his Negro opponent and LuValle was equal to the occasion. He had that reserve and let it out breezing home winner. Aftar sticking the baton under his jersey he walked off and shook Wallender’s hand. The white Texan smiled. These track events make great sports out of these young men. The vic- tor and the vanquished walk- ed down the track towards the victory pedestal together. The crowd applauded.

North 3818 Ambling About Among Amusement Artists Easter Sunday is a holiday to most, but it was a double holiday to many followers of Ethel Waters in San Francisco, for on that day, Sam Harris presented the now famous "As Thousands Cheer" at the Curran Theatre. This great musical by Irving Berlin and Moss Hart, starring Miss Waters and Fred Stone's charming daughter, Dorothy, was booked for a week at the local theatre with ar. option. Despite the bitter protest of indignant Sepia clergy and press. Cleveland is letting the stage play "Stevedore" continue to run. The former charges that the cuss-words and characterizations were defamatory to his race. The producer defended "Stevedore" on grounds that it had been given in New York and in Chicago without kickbacks. For the past week Providence has been entertaining and in turn been entertained by Don Redmon and his musical gentry in a fashion worthy of the highest praises. The "Crown Prince of Rhythm" brought a new kind of hot-cha syncopation, which, mixed with some rhythmic vocalizing has succeeded in keeping the theatregoers exuberant all week. The Don Redmon revue also brought some flashy entertainers, some of whom have not been seen here before. The spice of the specialities were done by a fidgety young lady. Mabel Scott, who sang, danced and pranced throughout three especially written songs, begging off after three bows. Ford-Bowie and Dailey did some contagious dancing going off to a big hand, are easily one of the best teams of dancers seen here. Just when film prominence seemed to beckon Sol Butler, the former Olympic chap deserted the silver sheet to take up newspaper publishing. It's called TRUTH!

"Heat as great as that of boiling water is generated in tires being driven on hot roads at high speed." continues Mr. Brown, "That is why we like to tell motorists about a tire that resists this heat and keeps the blisters that eventually cause blow-outs, from forming." Mr. Brown continues, "But tires are not the only thing of importance as pointed out in the Goodrich Spring Safety Campaign. Your brakes must be in good condition. Accessories such as head and taillights, windshield wiper and horn, must also be working properly to insure safe operation of a modern car." Mr. Brown urges all District motorists to have these points on their own cars checked to see that every precaution has been taken to prevent accidents and possible injury due to some car imperfection. The Washington Rubber Company is featuring safety specials of this kind during their Spring Sale which is now in progress. dance.

General Frank T. Hines. Administrator of Veterans Affairs, was the witness heard Tuesday. 2.000 Beds Available Under the President's four billion dollar work relief fund, the veterans are seeking 27 million dollars for new hospitals or additions to existing institutions. In an interview with a Tribune reporter Cof. Hamilton pointed out that out of a total of 33,000 beds available for veterans less than 2,000 were for colored. This is less than one bed for every 17 veterans he stated. He also pointed out that Negro soldiers composed one-tenth of the armed forces in the late war and colored persons constitute a like percentage of the population of the country. 30 Beds in South Col. Hamilton said that there are 200,000 Negro veterans in the South and the Tuskegee Veterans Hospital with a capacity of 300 beds and a few other places with accomodations for a few more comprise the only places where colored veterans can be treated in that section of the country. It has been proposed to build a 300 bed hospital at Hampton in connection with the Soldiers Home in that city. Col. Hamilton stated that except in a few emergency cases it takes a Negro veteran from one to five months to be admitted to a hospital. Proposes Segregation In response to a question from Representative Pattman, General Hines said he proposed that Negro and white veterans be separated, but both he given like treatment and facilities. General Hines said that in certain sections of the country the separation of the races would be the only logical procedure to follow. Deeds Recorder to Speak at Georgetown Baptist Dr. William J.

IS DEDICATED College Youth Warned of Serious Problems Facing Them Today While the chilly wind' played havoc with the hats of hundreds of spectators, Tuesday morning, the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Hall, erected at a cost of $460,000 at Howard University, was dedicated. Declaring that the youth of today is facing a serious dilemma which shows itself not only among those in actual privation, but among the youth of this country as a while, Chance for Harry Woodburn Chase, of New York University, delivered the dedicatory address. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard, presided, stating that the new Educational Class Room Building was the outgrowth of a Howard dream that started back in 1867. He presented Albert I. Cassell, architect in whose mind "the beautiful American structure was born and reared." Dr. Johnson paid fervent tribute to Frederick Douglass, after whom the building has been named, reciting the struggles of his early life and his great labors in behalf of his race. Hungate Accepts The building was presented to the university, on behalf of the Government, by Major Philip B. Fleming. Acting Deputy Administrator, Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, who represented Secretary Harold Ickes, of the Department of the Interior. "It is a great achievement wholly satisfactory in every respect to the Administrator of Public Works." he said in extending congratulations to all of those who had anything to do with the construction of the building. The pressure of business prevented Ickes from attending. The building was accepted by T. L. Hungate, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, who expressed his pleasure in accepting the building on behalf of the Board of Trustees as an addition to the educational resources of the university. Pays Tribute to Douglass After paying tribute to Frederick Douglass, "as one of the first in this country to voice the cause of his race." Dr. Chase said, "Douglass will always remain an outstanding figure in the history of the colored race in America," and that the building "symbolizes achievement under difficulty and that unward struggle which has since his time found expression in the achievements of other men in education, in science, in art, in literature and in music. My congratulations to Howard University are hearty and genuine." In reviewing the problems which today confront the youth of America, Chancekor Chase stated that they are the problems of universities and colleges, and in an increasing measure they are the problems of the American people as a whole, not being limited to any class, or any section, or any race. Fundamentally, they run through the lives of the young people of America today, north, south, east and west alike Dignitaries Present In addition to the participants on the program, representatives of the faculties of the nine schools and colleges of the university and students, there were also present the Honorable Theodore A. Walters, First Assistant Secretary of the Interior; Congressman James P B.

John, of the Office of Education. The following trustees were also present in addition to the Chairman of the Board: Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. Sara W. Brown, and Victor B. Deyber. The following representatives of the Douglass family were present: Joseph H. Douglass, grandson, and Mrs. Douglass; Haley G. Douglass, grandson, and Mrs. Douglass, and Frederick S.

PHI BETA SIGMAS OBSERVES BETTER BUSINESS WEEK Chapters Throughout Country Join in "Buy Where You Can Work" Program BOSTON, Mass. — "The short-sighted merchant who declines to employ Negro salespeople in stores operated in the neighborhoods where colored people constitute the dominant population group is cheating himself" said James A. Jackson, the National Director of the Annual Better Business Week of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, to a large audience at the Twelfth Baptist Church, Boston, Mass., as he closed the series of such meetings being conducted during the month of April in more than thirty cities and at a score of colleges throughout the country Mr. Jackson, who is a Special Representative of the Colonia Beacon Oil Company and the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey the principal speaker at the meeting sponsored by the local Phi Beta Sigma Chapter. He explained that "Every community is due to enjoy the benefits of the employment created by its own purchasing power; and that the problem is not merely a race matter, but resolves itself into a community matter. The difference between a commercial employee's possible salary, multiplied by the number of such positions being withheld from Negroes, constitutes a tremendous aggregate of buying power that should find its way into that, or other friendly neighborhood stores....The money now being paid out for such services to employees of other races who reside and do their spending in other parts of the city is lost to the neighborhood, while colored clerks who would naturally be living in the vicinity of the store and spending their money there, are being kept without money to spend." The program, celebrating the fifth annual "Bigger and Better Business Week," was sponsored by the Phi Beta Sigma Chapter of Boston. Others who took part were W. A. Rhodes, W. H. Hester, who gave the following address, C. M. Bell*, who said the response, C. T. Broadfield, and A. A. Arnold, president of the Boston Chapter. Jesse W. Lewis, Acting Dean of the Howard University School of Commerce, is National president of the fraternity.

A. M. Schwarz, supervisor of the bureau, reported this week to Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare. About 70 per cent of the bureau's clients are colored. Mr. Schwarz said. He estimated that they received approximately 70 per cent of the $72,472.61 about $50.730. Through various adjustments made in insurance policies, Mr. Schwarz stated. the bureau is taking in around $6,000 every month for its clients without destroying their insurance protection. The bureau is located at the Public Assistance Division Headquarters, Fifth and H Streets, Northwest. Serving clients of the nine relief stations and the Transient Bureau, the Insurance Aid Bureau carefully considered 15.148 policies with a face value of $2.733,296.90 and with annual premiums of $145.815.56. After the elimination of lapsed and unnecessary policies, 6.326 remained in force with reasonable premiums. The 6.326 policies have a face value of $1.139,682.92 with annual premiums of $38.820. This represents a saving in premiums, on an annual basis, of $105.955.56. Charge Kind of Insurance A thorough examination of these policies revealed that considerable sums of money could be secured on them without leaving his clients unprotected. Many of the policies had paid-up values, or cash and loan values that could be used. In many of the cases examined, it was necessary only to change the plan of insurance to a less expensive type and obtain a cash allowance from the insurance company's home office. Adjustments were made in 66 cases, involving insurance and real estate problems. In each case, Mr. Schwarz said, cash was made availbale to save the property from foreclosure. In addition to taxes, the arrears to the Building and Loan Association were paid. In some of these cases the property was already in the hands of the attorney of the Building and Loan Association for the purpose of foreclosure procedure. Property Saved The Insurance Aid Bureau immediately got in touch with the association's attorney, Mr. Schwarz said and arranged with him for an extension of time to enable the bureau to raise the amount of arrears through an adjustment of the client's insurance. Cash was generally obtained within three weeks. Sixty death claims were adjusted. Each was handled to the satisfaction of the beneficiary. In only one case was it necessary to resort to Court procedure, which resulted in a verdict in favor of the beneficiary. Clients from the Transient Bureau submitted for examination 90 policies with a face value of $25,284.47. Mr. Schwarz found that 54 of these policies had not lapsed beyond adjustment. They have a face value of $11,572.47. A total of $1,588 in cash was secured. With money obtained from their insurance, several transients returned home to attempt a new start in life. The real strength of a country depends upon the harmony existing among its citizens. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL FILIBUSTER KILLS ANTI-LYNCH BILL FILIBUSTER KILLS ANTI-LYNCH BILL (Continued from Page 1) to proceed against lynchers when mobs within the states have unlawfully usurped the power of the states and committed murders. Favors Lynching Senator Ellison D. "Cotton Ed" Smith. South Carolina, best expressed the attitude of these southerners. He was willing to be frank. He believes in lynching. When the virtue of a white woman is in question and a Negro is a suspect, Senator Smith is quite willing that a mob should murder him, that no white woman should be forced to come into court to prove that the suspect is guilty. Senator Smith "argues" that the anti-lynching bill is a "reflection" on his state and section of the country where lynching predominates. But Senator Smith's southern colleagues recognize that such a "reflection"i is not a powerful "argument". There was tacit agreement among them, therefore, that Senator Smith's "argument" was on a low planne, although he was expressing the honest conviction of them all, and that such an "argument" would not get them very far. They therefore decided to mask their real "argument" and place the debate on a "high plane" of their own ignoring, in so far as possible, the "low-grade" sallies of "Cotton Ed". Banded on together on the "high plane" were Senators Connally of Arkansas. Black of Alabama and Bailey of North Carolina, backed by heavy, though for the time being, silent, reserves from the cotton states. The most powerful opposition force has been the press of the nation, as represented in its Washington correspondents. Individual newspapers throughout the nation have endorsed the bill, but the Washington correspondents, during all of last week's battle cunningly contrived to keep the importance of the issue from the people of the country and belabored the sponsors of the measure by informing the public that they were obstructing other "more important" legislation. The Washington correspondents gave much space to the "argument" of the southern opponents of the bill, but very little to that of its sponsors. Senator Costigan spoke at length of the merits of the bill, but in the press dispatches received only one quoted line: "National evils demand national remedies." He addressed himself to the constitutionality of the measure, to the question of the invasion of states' rights, and to the probable use of the law in labor disputes. President_Silent The issue was placed square.y up to the President in a telegram sent by Charles Houston of the Are You Lonely? DONT GROW OLD ALONE Then join the WASHINGTON SOCIAL CLUB! Receive lots of letters from interesting ment or announcement. Write for information today! POST OFFICE BOX 3273 Washington, D.C. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Friday. He received no answer. All efforts on the part of Walter White, secretary of the N. A.A.C.P. to see the President failed. The President, by his action, definitely let it be known that he is not going to offend the South on an issue involving justice to Negroes. He took this position in spite of a majority in the Senate which favored much justice. All the so-called "must" legislation, old age pensions, extension of NIRA, unemployment insurance and whatnot, were held up, not by Senators Costigan and Wagner. but by the southern oligarchy in the Senate which declared in effect that the nation could go to ruin for other legislation before they would allow the anti-lynching bill pass. The most spectacular skirmish in last week's battle occurred between Senator Connally of Texas, expressing constitutional objections to the measure, and Senator Clark of Missouri. Senator Costigan had already cited the constitutional authority of the measure in that section of the Fourteenth amendment which gives the Congress authority to guarantee to every citizen the equal protection of the law, and enables it to pass appropriate legislation to enforce that guarantee. When citizens are lynched, in spite of the efforts of state authorities, he argued, they have not been given the equal protection of the law and Congress is expressly enabled to enact proper legislation.

WEEK ENDING MAY 4. 1935 BLOWS FATAL TO PAL'S VICTIM IN FIST FIGHT John Smith Held in Slaying of His Roommate During Street Brawl What police describe as a first fight between two long term pals resulted last week in the untimely death of one and the holding of the other for the action of the grand jury in its connection. Chester Porter, known in some quarters also as William Porter and in others as Henry Brooks, was the slain man. His friend, and the man who is charged with the killing, gave his name as John Smith. He is also known as William Smith. The address of both was given as 1726 Fifth Street, Northwest. Lived Together Porter and Smith, it seems, have known each other for some time. having come to this city together from North Carolina. Since coming here they have made their homes together: police learning that prior to moving to the Fifth Street address they had occupied a room or rooms at a house in the 1700 block Ninth Street, Northwest. Although Smith denied having been connected in any way with the man's death, police told a coroner's jury Friday that Porter and the defendant had engaged in a fight at Seventh Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Nrthwest, and that Smith had knocked down Porter. Found in Street The injured man was found laying beside the car tracks by passersby, placed in a taxicab and rushed to Freedmen's Hospital. A few hours later he succumbed. Testimony revealed that the two men had engaged in minor arguments together with proprietors of two lunchrooms. They had been ejected from one in the 1500 block of Seventh Street, shortly before their own altercation. Precinct Detective Frederick B. Ashe declared that both men had been drinking. He stated that Smith was "well heeled" when he and Precinct Detective D. D. Pittman arrested him near the scene of the fight.

Webber Wilson, former congressman, now federal judge in the Virgin Islands, stated in here last week that he is not worried over the federal investigation into Virgin Island affairs. He declared that the probe is aimed at Gov. Paul Pearson and that the trouble in the Islands is fermented by Republicans. Judge Wilson was appointed through the instrumentality of Senator Pat Harrison. Mississippi Democrat, who feared that the judge might oppose him for the United States senate in 1936. Visitors to the Islands have reported that Wilson has worked himself up as the head of the faction opposing Pearson.

(ANP) —According to information released by the Fayette county unit of the Kentucky Emergency Relief administration, two hundred ex-slaves have been located by the tabulators on this Negro White-Collar project under the direction of Prof. L. D. Reddick of Kentucky State College. This Lexington unit, on which there is an allowance of 38 interviewers, typists, and general tabulators, is the largest of five units operating in the state. Kentucky is the second state to be surveyed. For five months historical evidence was collected from the ex-slaves in Indiana. The testimonies which have been collected, though revealing invaluable data, are sometimes overshadowed by the interesting personalities of the ex-slaves themselves. For example, Scott Baker, Lexington, ex-slave, age 100, has not been interviewed because he has been busy with jobs about the city. GET STUDENT RULE AT DOWNINGTON DOWNINGTON, Pa.—The first step toward giving students at Downingtown Industrial School a share in their own government was taken at the class meetings on Thursday morning.

(ANP) — This city presents a situation that for uniqueness and interest, can hardly be duplicated. Augusta boasts of a Negro population of around 26,000, though the evidence is that there are not quite so many. There are approximately 250 Chinese and almost without exception these are found to be living in and doing business in the Negro section. A greater part of the grocery and meat business of Augusta Negroes goes to these 250 Chinese, while the colored people can boast of but few grocery and meat businesses of their own. The Chinese, be it said to their credit, are courteous, employ some colored help; attend strickly to business, and handle the things that colored people want. They are recognized as whites in Augusta, and attend white churches and white schools. Buy a MODERN GAS RANGE Lincoln Md., News THREE WORK PERMIT IS AGAIN SOURCE OF CRITICISM D. C. School Teachers Are Irked at Use of Insult on Cards Colored teachers and citizens began wondering early this week if there is some determination on the part of an individual or individuals in the department of work permits of the Public Schools to insist on casting aside the principle of social equality among Negroes. Change of address cards, distributed through the schools, carried spaces that were to be filled in by the teachers. These cards were provided with the view of registering with the correct addresses of all children who are desirous of obtaining work permits for the summer months. Spaces Arouse Indignation These spaces are set aside for the teachers to fill in the name, age, sex, race, old and new address, parents' names, etc. Particular attention was drawn to notations under the line left blank for the filling in of the race. In parenthesis are the words "White, negro, other." Whether the refusal to capitalize "Negro" was meant as an affront could not be ascertained, but colored persons reading the card were incensed. The indignation of colored teachers was aroused last year by this same form. At that time the card carried the notation "White, black, other." On that occasion Attorney Charles H. Houston filed a protest with the board of education.

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1935 General Admission 75 Cents And they are still talking about the Musolits. I mean the lucky ones who got a chance to go to "Palm Beach" with the club the other Wednesday night. Some of the Musolit members went $t_0$ the Colonnade early and blew up a lot of balloons, hung them to the balcony rails and turned the stately hall into a maze of red-white-blue-green-yellow beauty. Then they called in "Sign Painter" Brown and he straightway took a flower-filled revolving vase and imprisoned it in a pretty picketed enclosure. The effect was magical. And when Big Bold Wonderful men weren't discussing Milady's eyes or her gown they were singing the praise of the decorators. The band soon struck up some lively chords and the "Palm Beach" dance was on Charming dimple-cheeked Mrs. Johnnie Wilkinson looked ever so girlish in a long summer dress and wide straw bonnet. Lovely black ringlets fluttered about Mrs. Mae Gunn's forehead as she danced about in her jacket dress of polkadotted white. Miss Muriel Milton looked ever so happy and "springish" in a pretty print. And the Musolit members, themselves, got everybody's eye with those crisp white caps, dark coats and striped flannel trousers. When the balloons came tumbling down young Perry Howard grabbed the biggest one and ran in a lovely lady's direction. The dance was a jolly affair and here's hoping the Musolits make up their minds to take an annual trip to gay "Palm Beach" and that you and I won't be left behind. At a recent dance Mrs. West, the popular Alice of the "Park Road Salon" emphasized the pink idea in more ways than one. She wore a pale pink trailing gown and then when a certain Mr. H. D. waltzed her around, the same pretty shade was seen in her cheeks. Miles mean nothing to the friends of Mrs. William Stevenson and her daughter, Mrs. Bessie Patterson. And so despite the fact that they have moved all the way from Corcoran Street, Northwest to Lanham, Md., their doorbell rings on just the same. Among their happy callers last Thursday were Mrs. J. C. Burlls, Mrs. J. E. Baltimore, Mrs. Charlotte Lankford, and Mrs. Ingersoll Johnson and her two small daughters. Not all the violets bloom in God's great out-of-doors. A bunch of 'em blossomed right out on Miner Teachers' College stage the other night. "Twas a play of course, "Tom Piper and his Pig," presented by the teachers of the James Monroe School. And among the modest make-believe violets that put to shame the garden-growing kind were little Misses Audrey Francis, Fannie Roberson, Catherine Smith, Catherine Thompson, Alberta Cassell, Willa West and Joan Beldon. Mrs. Walter Tate, of Brookland, trying her best to get back to Washington in time for the Bachelor-Benedicts' Costume Ball and her New York relatives and friends refusing to let her. Now we know why there were so many lawyers everywhere last Sunday (even in the churches). It was Lawyers' Day. And before the evening was over more lawyers had told more (you supply the next word, the printer might not let me). Anyhow, the whole thing turned out to be very helpful. Most of us learned a lot about Mr. Thurman Dodson, the smart young president of the Bar Association and about Mr. Nathan Dobbins (who recently appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court). We learned more about Mehlinger, Derricotte, Johnson, Atkinson, Hayes and Peterson and a hundred others. Among the lawyers who spoke at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church were Emory Smith, Robert Vann and Perry Howard. Mr. Smith believes in "Safety First." He read his speech from a manuscript so if any lawyer present ever tries to twist up what he said he can go right home and get the very words he spoke. Mr. Vann pulled a joke on his good friend, Perry Howard's State. But Mr. Howard evened the score with him later by telling so many funny anecdotes that the good Mr. Vann and all the rest of the folks nearly doubled up with laughter. Bishop E. D. W. Jones thrilled the crowd when he proudly embraced the jolly young Mr. Dodson. Dr. A. W. Cameron and his orchestra furnished very enjoyable music and the singing of Zion's choir was good to hear. The lawyers are back in their offices now waiting for you and me to drag our stubborn aunts and uncles and wives and husbands right to their very doors. Mrs. Bessie D Vaughn, her sister, Miss Eliza Shippen and Mrs. Gursta Pryor playing the schoolma'm role with added vim because of an enjoyable Easter vacation in New York. Speaking of lawyers, have you noticed Mrs. Dora Letcher lately? Or Miss Ollie Cooper? They're flying around in "more directions than the compass possesses." And so are all the other women lawyers and near-lawyers that make up the Epsilon Sigma Iota Sorority. These ladies know what a grand attitude Washingtonians have toward charity affairs so they are sponsoring a Musical and Literary Tea for the benefit of the Northwest Settlement House. And so next Sunday afternoon and evening the home of Mrs. Dora Letcher. 1835 Fifth Street, Northwest, will be the mecca of many smart men and matrons and maidens. Easter outfits (ensembles of blue, of brown and the everlasting black and white) to say nothing of pretty prints) that have had to stay in the way to Fifth Street. Fashionably gowned ladies will pour tea; Mrs. Esther Popel Shaw will read her delightful poems; Mrs. French will make you hold your sides with laughter; Mr. Louis N. Brown and a dozen others with their music and songs will help you while way the hours you spend with the Epsilon Sigma Iots. And graciously waiting to greet you will be Misses Aima Smith, Zenobia Coleman, Meta Redden, Roberta Smoott, Mrs. Gladys Peterson, Mrs. Lillian Malone, Mrs. Zephyr Ramsey, Mrs. Etta Lisenby, Mrs. Mary Marshall, Mrs. Elsie Jefferson, Mrs. Myrtle Robinson and others. (Again mentioning lawyers) Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson taking his big barking dog for a ride out S Street and said dog making a lot of extra noise because the Fourteenth Street cars were moving slowly and retarding his master's progress. Class in letterwriting (subject, Costigan-Wagner Bill) is growing, and among those who went to the head of the class during recent days are Mr. Charles Houston and Mrs. Portia B. Daniel of Six Street, Northwest. They're telling the women now that it's better to dance than diet. And so if your neighbor's radio tunes right up and starts to go at seven in the morning, don't raise a row and do your best to "bless" somebody out. Just put it down that Mrs. Brown is taking off some pounds. All through the winter months she's been adding avoirdupois by eating snow-white rolls and pasty puffs all full of cream. She might even have got some ounces from that mushroom soup you served her when you gave that dinner for the judge. So shut your ears to the jazz bands that come over the early wire, and try to kindly remember that every measure of music that grates on your tired soul is helping some overweight sister, bring her excess poundage down. Guests of Mrs. Lula Leachman at her Friday afternoon bridge luncheon will not soon forget the hospitable charm of the Leachman hearth. Among the W Street lady's out of town guests were Miss Laura Crisman, of California, and two Baltimore residents, Mrs. Jenkins, wife of a caterer and Mrs. Wilson, mother of Mrs. Leland Simmons, of S Street. Twas a matter of "Sunshine and Shadows" with Mr. J. A. Lankford, last week. For a day at least he dwelt in a realm of gloom and all because his good friend, Bishop John A. Gregg was right in town but much too busy for a game of golf. For many years without a single exception, the presence of Bishop Gregg in the city meant the dragging out of golf togs in Mr. Lankford's home. Hence, the deep dark shadows. But on Wednesday when Mr. Lewis K. Downing, acting dean of the School of Architecture and Engineering of Howard University, Messrs. Ernest Welch and Addison Richmond (teachers in the school) and a number of students paid a visit to Mr. Lankford's office in the Housing Division of the P.W.A. (Interior Department) the shadows disappeared and a twinkle came to the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

The a ing the stage gave a most gorgeous rangelement of the ferns, palms and can hardly be described; the spirit and joyousness—in other words—"persons divided their time between who were entertaining at the Color Well, folks, we are all back to work after a glorious holiday. Really, I hardly know where or how to begin to tell you about the many and marvelous activities which were staged last week. As predicted, many persons elected to leave town for a taste of social whirl of other cities but "believe me you," I know not why, for with the host of out-of-town folks here and the mornings, afternoons and evenings beaming with pleasure, who could be lonesome? To my mind, there were more cries for rest than there were moanings for something to do. We told you about the Kappa's good old get-to-gether. Rather crowded—but what did that matter among old friends? If you were not on the "sail" to Palm Beach sponsored by the Mu-so-Lit Club at the Colonnade you missed a most wonderful treat. Balloons of every hue were suspended from the ceiling. Spring shades of crepe paper were intermingled, giving a most marvellous overhead picture. In the middle of the hall stood a massive piece of pottery in the form of a vase holding large, gorgeous white lilies. Sport frocks, cool shimmery chiffons, organdias, and laces worn by the ladies combined in making the Palm Beach idea more suggestive as did also the linen suits, flannel trousers and sport attire donned by the men. This dance is scheduled to be an annual affair—so look forward to this delightful "sail" next year. Then on Thursday evening just as the crowd was recovering from the "sail" the evening before, the Chi Delta Mu acted as hosts at the Masonic Temple. And was this an enjoyable get-to-gether? Ask anyone who was there. First of all, the beauty of the hall was so impressed upon you when you entered the hall that the spirit of the occasion was immediately felt. The artistically decorated screens adorning the stage gave a most gorgeous setting for the orchestra. The arrangement of the ferns, palms and cut flowers added a beauty which can hardly be described; the spirit of the group was one of happiness and joyousness—in other words—"a good time was had by all." Many persons divided their time between the Chi dance and the "Who Zits" who were entertaining at the Colonnade. Then came the costume dance of the Bachelor-Benedict Club. Costumes of every description were in evidence. A change from the old policy was indeed welcomed, for after all ideas, methods and procedures, if progress is achieved, cannot remain static. Tis the dawn of a new day for the Bachelors, the old traditional club is dead—orchids to the new one. E. Syphax. and Mrs. Julia Wes Hamilton. The parade of bride with their attendants was a beautiful sight. Miss Lydia Gilmore won first prize for reporting the largest sum of money, a week's vacation at Camp Clarissa Scott. Zoomie Tibbo also won a prize, being to be After each dance, the Capital Club, of which John Carter is president, has accommodated many groups which wish tasty and dainty salads or sandwiches before retiring. Sometimes it seems almost like an invited social gathering at this swanky rendezvous when groups meet by chance and chat, smoke and enjoy the hospitality afforded by the place. It seems there is a void if one does not drop in for a "hot" minute at least. This Friday, May 3, the crowd will gather for the pleasurable affairs of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority at the Masonic Temple. It is rumored that Noble Sissle's aggregation will play for the Alphas. Are you ready to "truck on down" to "Ambia and Goodie's" housewarming? May 4 is the date. Everything is ready for one of the best evenings you have spent in the "burg" for a long time. More anon. See you there. Had the pleasure of meeting Gertrude Schalk, of Boston.

She accompanied by vivacious Lunette Logan and our good brother columnist, Bill Smallwood. enjoyed a few cocktails with Joe Burch at his home last week. Speaking of enjoying the week's activities, did you meet Dr. Haley Bell of Detroit and his most charming wife? This couple was seen "tripping the light fantastic toe" at all the functions and really enjoying it. They were delightful company and we know their host and hostess, Dr. and Mrs. Richard Banks regret having them depart for home. "They all come back" "Bus" Lee is back in town after a most eventful sojourn in Hollywood, California. He dropped in by way of Atlanta and is looking unusually well—a broad smile and many yarns to tell—same old "Bus." Quite a large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the bridal pageant given by Metropolitan A.M.E. Sunday School of 1518 M Street, Northwest, Monday, April 15. There were brides of all ages from infancy to maturity. To Mrs. Claudia McConnell must be given credit for the success of the affair. She was aby assisted by officers and teachers of the Sunday School. By courtesy of C. S. Pinderhughes, a group of cadets from Dunbar High School participated and added to the display. The program began promptly at 8:30 with addresses by Dr. John R. Hawkins, Mrs. A. P. Moore, Mrs. architect's eyes as he waxed eloquent on his favorite subject, models and plans and specifications. Young Mr. Matthews Bullock and his sister Julia may forget all about the cherry blossoms; visions of the Washington Memorial, or even the Lincoln Memorial may fade from their memories, but they will long remember Highwarden Just and the enjoyable luncheon he gave at his home, 412 T Street, They'll always keep thoughts too (and kind ones) of the lovely young ladies and jolly young men they met there. The happy party included among others, Georgia Brown. Adelaide Cromwell, Virginia Quivers, Alice Latney, Marjorie Philips, Doris West, Therell Smith, Lucy Jackson, Ethel Whaley, Evelyn Edmondston. Pauline Murray, Patricia Stewart, Clifford Jackson. Percy Pitts, Jimmie Davidson, William Bullock, Thomas Dent, Townsend Beason, George Walker, Lawrence Holland, Charles Brown, Samuel Westerfield, Edward Brooke, Clayborne Washington and Elmer Terry. --- work after a glorious holiday.

Easter Sunday a program was rendered under direction of Miss Josie Lewis. It was a Biblical cantata in costume appropriate to the times.

ARTHUR JORDAN'S, 13th & G "I NEVER KNEW A REFRIGERATOR COULD BE SO Complete" Now 2 to 4 Times as Many Features in the New Leonard Shrewd buyers who make it a point to get the most for their money are choosing the Leonard these days. They find that no other refrigerator gives them all that the new Leonard does. Take a look at a Leonard cabinet, for instance. Notice how graceful and well proportioned it is. And if you examine it closely you'll see that it is just as strong, just as sturdy as it is beautiful and roomy. And when it comes to convenience features the Leonard is way ahead! With the LEN-A-DOR, famous door opening pedal. The automatic interior light. The folding and sliding shelves. The Convenience Basket for dairy products and left-overs. The Cold Chest for sub-freezing storage. And many others that mean much in convenience and economy. The price? Leonard prices are low... actually right down with the lowest! Come in, see the new Leonard now!

She left bequests to two institutions and to thirty-one persons, relatives and friends. Price Fixing at the Source No corporate milkman can fix the price which the consumer must pay. In Washington this company every day faces active and resourceful competition. It commands no favorable price differential from the dairy farmers. If it tried to boost the going doorstep figure, its competitors would at once use the fact to take away its customers. The dairy farmers in Maryland and Virginia have a strong, well managed organization. It controls approximately 93 per cent of the milk sold in Washington and vicinity. Because of strict health regulations milk from other nearby sections cannot be sold in Washington. The corporate milkman has no other choice than to buy his milk from the dairy farmers' association. The plain and realistic fact is that the dairy farmers name the figure which the milkman must pay. True, he could assert his independence and refuse to pay their price. If he did, he would find that he could not bring in milk from other producing areas—and meanwhile, competition would be picking the bones of his business. Henry M.

TEACHER REAPPOINTMENT IS REFUSED BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SECOND SECTION TRAINMEN GIVEN RIGHT OF APPEAL IN RAILWAY FIGHT National Mediation Board Gives Favorable Decision on Complaint The N. Troo Trainmen of the South won a favorable decision before the National Mediation Board of Washington, last week, when the Board gave its opinion on complaints recently filed by Attorney Nelson M. Willis of Chicago, and Benjamin L. Gaskins, of this city. For the last ten years there has been many attempts by Southern trainmen who are refused membership in the white organizations, to invoke the services of the National Mediation Board, in the settlement of disputes between them and the Railway Company, in regard to rules, working conditions and rates of pay. However, they had been refused jurisdiction on the grounds that the Board only took jurisdiction where the parties had contracts with the Railway Company, and the Negro trainmen had no contract. Files Complaint Attorneys Willis and Gaskins filed a complaint with the Mediation Board, March 1, giving a complete history of the struggles and the status of Negro trainmen of the South for the last 50 years. It further showed the unjust treatment of Negro trainmen, and called attention to the fact that many men had been shot down while on duty on trains during the last few years, for no other reason than that their jobs were wanted by whites. The brief asked that the Mediation Board take jurisdiction of the complaint of the colored trainmen and not shut the door of opportunity to work, in their faces on the grounds of a flimsy technicality. Board Answers A self-explanatory excerpt from the opinion of the Board rendered last Thursday, is as follows: "The only answer this Board can make to your complaint therefore, is that you inform the employees of the various railroads whose complaints you, have mentioned, and their representatives, that they take the matters complained of up with the carriers that employ them in the usual manner as provided in the amended Railway Labor Act, and if they can get no satisfactory adjustment from the management, that they then file a request for the services of this Board or of the National Railroad Adjustment Board, depending on whether the case involves changes in rules, wages, or working conditions, or interpretation or application of existing agreements. If the National Railroad Adjustment Board cannot take jurisdiction, the matter may also be referred to us. "If this procedure is followed, it may be possible for us to accomplish something by medication, but this Board cannot handle disputes or complaints except as they arise between a specific group of employees and the carrier that employees them; and each such dispute must be handled separately from the others on the basis of the specific facts in that dispute." Convene in Louisville The second annual meeting of the organization will be held in Louisville, Ky., May 20, at which time instructions will be given the various units of the organizations as to how to get their specific case before the Mediation Board.

Church Board Hears Annual Financial Report Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING MAY 4, 1935 Beresford Gale, Prominent Elk, Dies in London; Seen in Film. LONDON, Eng. (ANP Foreign Correspondence)—Beresford Gale is dead. The dashing broker who climbed the ladder of life to fame and fortune during the boom days when he was a stockbroker in Philadelphia, passed away in London last week. He had been in London four years, coming here as grand traveling representative of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Gale was a native of Jamaica but he spent most of his life in the United States and had become an American citizen through naturalization. Tall, slender, well groomed, a natural leader and a super salesman, Gale, naturally gravitated toward the top of any enterprise in which he was engaged. While yet a youngster he came to England as a member of the Williams and Walker troupe which played "In Dahomey" at the Shaftesbury Theatre for eleven months. Prominent in Philadelphia In Philadelphia he developed a business as a stock broker. Opening magnificent offices on Broad Street his name became synonymous with grand deals, high finance and luxury.

"Inurrection Laws" NEW YORK—Plans for a nationwide fight against the archaic "insurrection" laws of Georgia will be presented at the third biennial national convention of the International Workers Order which will open with a public mass meeting in Madison Square Garden on May 5.

DEATH REVEALS WOMAN IS A MAN NEW ORLEANS, La., (ANP) For some thirty-five years "she" lived as Florence Holloway, and as Florence Holloway "she" was buried last Friday. It was at the funeral that hundreds who attended learned that this woman was in truth a man. The family, minister and undertaker, said that the will to live as a woman gave him the right to be buried as one and it was in this spirit that the funeral sermon was preached. The deceased was born as John Brown in the parish of St. Gabriel, and an accident in a sugar refinery was blamed for the decision to "bcome a woman." He came to New Orleans and for years was highly regarded by a wealthy white family who hired him as a servant. Neighbors near his rooming house regarded him as a woman. A week ago he went to Charity Hospital seriously ill with blood poisoning, and there it was discovered that "she was a man."

REFUS SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF D. C. ATTORNEY Highest Tribunal Clarifies Law in Compensation Suit By W. HAROLD FLOWERS .. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion interpreting certain sections of the District of Columbia compensation laws, reversed the District Court of Appeals Monday, and held that Charles M. Doleman, administrator of the estate of his son, Robert, had a right to sue Harry Levine, white, for damages arising out of the death of his son. The opinion not only clarified the compensation laws and brightened the chance for recovery of damages for the father, but conferred a unique honor upon Nathan A. Dobbins, chief counsel for Doleman, who made a brilliant and convincing oral argument before the court two weeks ago. Killed by Auto Robert Doleman was killed January 3, 1933, while working for the Potomac Electric Power Company, in a manhole at Lincoln Road and R Street, Northeast. He was struck by an automobile owned by Levine and driven by Harry Barner, white. The Potomac Electric Power Company is paying the wife of Doleman compensation under the District of Columbia Workmen's compensation act. The father, Charles M. Doleman, brought suit for $10,000 damages. A like suit was brought by the Potomac Electric Power Company. The Court of Appeals held that the Potomac Electric Power Company, had a right to bring suit under the compensation laws, and Doleman's suit was dismissed. Clears Law The opinion of the court which was delivered by Mr. Justice Stone made understandable section 833 (b), which provides that acceptance of compensation shall operate as an assignment to the employer of all rights of the person entitled to compensation to recover damages against such third person. The court said, speaking through Mr. Justice Stone: "Sec. 933 (b) purports only to assign to the employer "all rights of the person entitled to compensation to recover damages against such third person." It operates to transfer to the employer only such rights as the dependent has. We do not doubt that this section, interpreted in the light of the indemnitor's common law rights of subrogation, confirms that right and is sufficient to give the employer as indemnity all the rights which the dependents, electing to receive compensation otherwise would have to share in the benefits of the Wrongful Death Act." Rules Against P.E.P. Co. The court in holding that the Potomac Electric Power Company could not maintain the suit for damages filed against Harry Levine, said: "We conclude that where the employer is given anything to recover by a suit be right directly against the wrongdoer, it is the full recovery to which the injured employee or his personal representative would be entitled. But where the right of the dependent, to which the employer is subrogated by P 33 (b), is only to a share of the proceeds of the recovery, the employer is not authorized to maintain the action for wrongful death." The Potomac Electric Power Company contended that the acceptance of compensation by Mrs. Robert Doleman constituted an assignment to the company of all rights of person entitled to the compensation, to recover damages against a third person. Doleman contended that although Mrs. Doleman accepted compensation under the workman's compensation laws, such assignment did not bar an action against third persons by other dependants and next of kin. Signal Victory Associated with Mr. Dobbins in the case were, Otho D. Branson and James C. Waters, Jr. Mr. Dobbins was graduated from the Howard Law School in 1929 and was admitted to the bar during the same year. He has handled six appellate cases, and only lost one. The Try Me Taxi Cab case which was decided by the Court of Appeals established the law with regard to companies which allow the use of their names on the bodies of the cabs, holding that the companies were estopped from denying liability although not the real owners. Other notable cases have been won through the uncanny ability of Mr. Dobbins. THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE SAYS EXAMINATION NECESSARY BEFORE RETURN TO SCHOOL Teacher Who Resigned Under Economy Act Hit by New Ruling The Board of Education at its regular meeting. Wednesday, approved the reappointment of Mrs. Sylvia P. Patterson. Industrial Arts instructor, without an examination, who resigned under the Economy Act, and at the same time refused the reappointment of Mrs. Bernice Lumpkins Brandon, teacher of kindergarten-primary grades, unless she submits to another examination. Mrs. Brandon, who was appointed at the Giddings School in April, 1921, resigned under Section 213, the Economy Act on June 30, 1932, to prevent the dismissal of her husband from employment in the City Post Office. Her reappointment now would not affect the employment status of her husband. However, the Board refused to waive the rules in her case because she does not meet the educational qualifications requiring the holding of a bachelor's degree, and because she cannot qualify with respect to the requisite providing for a previous rating of "excellent" for the last five years prior to her resignation. The Board record shows Mrs. Brandon's ratings were always below "E." The new educational qualification rule was made by the Board in July, 1933, a year after Mrs Brandon, a Miner Normal School graduate, resigned. Patterson Status O. K. Mrs. Patterson, domestic science teacher, resigned under the same Act, June, 1933, in order that her husband, Stanley E. Patterson, might retain his position in the U. S. Post Office. Now, reappointment to her former position will not affect her husband's status in the government. if she wishes to return to her old position. She was originally appointed to the school system in November, 1911. Inasmuch as she meets the educational qualifications, being a Howard graduate, her ratings have been satisfactory to the Board, and that there does not exist a list of eligibles for her position. the Board approved the recommendation of Dr. Howard H. Long, chief examiner, for her reappointment without examination. The eligibility for reinstatement of Mrs. E. V. Holton, teacher, after maternity leave, was also approved by the Board.
