Policemen Try to Keep Case Out of Court; Made No Report
BULLETIN!
The case of Mrs. Jessie Sterling was continued until July 23 by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court this morning (Thursday).
Suffering with a broken arm, two knocked out teeth, abrasions of the knees, a swollen hip and severe nervous shock. Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 56-year-old woman, lay in her bed at 307 Virginia Avenue, Southwest, last night (Wednesday), a victim of the police brutality of a Fourth Precinct officer. Officer G. B. Reid, white, of the Southwest Precinct, is charged with having brutally beat the aged woman while arresting her last Wednesday night on a charge of disorderly conduct. Another white policeman, J. Mayo, also of the Fourth Precinct, accompanied the accused officer during the arrest of Mrs. Sterling. However, he is not charged with having participated in the brutal beating.
According to the story sobbed out to a Tribune reporter at her home as she lay on her bed painfully suffering from the injuries received in the police assault, Mrs. Sterling detected a leaky gas pipe in her home late last Wednesday night. She asked two roomers in her home to repair the pipe before leaving, and thinking that this had been done satisfactory, went to bed.
Pushed in House .
Later, the scent of escaping gas aroused her from her bed and she went to the front door of her home where she called to a passing friend for help. Policeman Reid and Mayo, passing the house at (Continued on Page 2)

"Fly in Ointm
By WILSON JAMES
(For ANP)
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—I arrived here Wednesday, May 29, and found conditions much different from what I expected they would be when I left the United States early in May. In some cases, they were better, and others, one hundred percent worse. I can readily see that to succeed here an American Negro must possess the following qualifications: first, a strong stomach; second, a silent tongue; third, a kind heart; fourth, an iron hand; fifth, the patience of Job, and sixth, above all, he must know his work.
The white influence over here is very, very strong. Whites have poisoned the minds of the Ethiopians against American Negroes. Most American Negroes who have come here have given support to the charges of the white man.

Says Mary McLeod Bethune When Offered "Reserved" Seat by Georgia White
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (ANP)—While in the city last week attending the twenty-sixth annual conference of th NAACP at which time the Spingarn Medal Award was presented to her by William Pickens, field secretary, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, founder and president of Bethune-Cookman College, talked informally of the technique she employs in dealing with some forms of discrimination in the south. The best sample covered the following incident: Mrs. Bethune was attending a great religious conference in Atlanta, Ga. On Sunday, there had been communion services in which white and black joined.
Tact
On the following day, Mrs. Bethune entered the great church and took the seat which seemed most to her liking. She had not been sitting there long before one of the white ushers approached and apologetically informed her: "We have reserved seats over there for you." He pointed to a section on the side where Negroes were being segregated.
Mrs. Bethune beamed a smile on the usher and answered: "Thank you so much, but this is all right. I don't care for reserved seats!" There was nothing the befuddled usher could do about it.

Fisher Accused of Overlooking Race Decorators by Florist
Charges that the contract to decorate for the annual Grand Lodge convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World had been let out to a white concern without regard to solicitations of local colored companies were denied early this week by Dr. Charles B. Fisher, general chairman of the committee on arrangements.
Dr. Fisher, whose appointment to the post of chairman of the general committee by Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson has been in the line of $ \alpha $ steady fire directed by opposing factions since his selection last winter, was assailed by W. W.

THOMPSON WILL FIGHT IN COURT
Heir's Attorneys File Caveat in Protest of Honoring Testament
Alleging that the will of the late Mrs. Mary Thompson had been made when she was not in her right mind and under duress, her heirs, Thomas Johnson and Mamie Minor, took legal steps early this week to prevent the probating of the will.
They claim that the will was made under pressure exerted by Robert J. Dickey, executor of the estate and family friend, and that they did not witness its making. The heirs are represented by Attorneys George H. and Augustus W. Gray.
Mrs. Mary Thompson was the mother of the late Miss Anna Thompson, a local school teacher, who died several years ago
Joe Louis Will Fight Next in Toronto
CHICAGO (Special)—Joe Louis's next fight will not be in Chicago after all.
When the sensational Detroiter signed a week ago to do battle over ten rounds King Levinsky at Comiskey Park on August 7 for promoter Joe Foley, it was expected that the only ring activity in which he would engage prior to that time would be in the training camp.
Today, however, Manager Julian Black revealed that Louis has signed for a four-round affair against an opponent yet to be selected; the bout, an exhibition, will be staged at Toronto on July 22.

Federal C. Men have the reputation of getting their men and, if the statements of Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 56-year-old woman photographed above, are correct, the local police always get their women. Mrs. Sterling shows a badly swollen eye, a broken arm and a bruised knee received when brutally beaten by Officer G. B. Reid, white, of the Fourth Precinct, last Wednesday night. She was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and will face trial in Police Court July 23.
Man, Nearly 100, is "Life of Party" At Jarvis's
BY THE ROVING REPORTER
The story has been told of "the fountain of youth" where the maimed lay down crutches and the blind put aside their specks, but it took 98-year-old William Colen, who lives at Elvans and Morris Roads, Southwest, to give to the Tribune his own modern version of "rejuvenation for a day."
Mr. Colen, father of 10, grandfather of 14, and greatgrandfather of 4, born 25 years before the Civil War and the survivor of a pair of "better halves," put on his "duds," carried his "roughs" with him and went out and "had a ball."
That was Tuesday. Wednesday, he had to admit to the Tribune reporter he "wasn't so good."
Santa Claus Visits
As the story goes, W. Ernest Jarvis, local undertaker, was struck with a benevolent spirit Tuesday morning—as undertakers sometime are, the tolerant things. And being idle—as all of us sometimes are—he decided to play Santa Claus to several of his friends, and friends of his family and friends.
Well, he ordered his car's and ambulance to call at various given addresses and pick up his guests. The drivers were then instructed to follow him to his river front estate at Churchton. Md., where the place had been put in readiness for the day's activities.
Ran Them "Ragged"
But this story is not about Mr. Jarvis; out about his guests. The aged Mr. Colen, born a slave, led the way in the fun-making. He frolicked about the grounds; went
for a boat ride, found it to his liking and went for another. He might have played leap-the-frog had not Wilbur Coates and Byron Jones been out long before trying to keep pace with him in the track meet.
But I can't go on like this.
In the group with Mr. Colen, Coates and Jones; were; the Reverend and Mrs. W. D. Jarvis, Mrs. Josephine Jones, who was carried to the affair in an ambulance, Mrs. Nellie McCoy, Mrs. Irma Jones Burleigh, Miss Audrey Jones, Leo Hall, John B. Wright, Miss Dorothy Jarvis, Chaster H. Jarvis, Jr. and Charles Jones, Jr.
Life of Party
Dinner and supper were served the guests on the spacious lawn of the estate by Mrs. Burleigh and Miss Jones. But the life of the party was the near-centenarian who laughed as he spoke of having seen four wars and not being interested in the probability of another.
Washington Bar Group to Hold Outing at Colton
The annual outing of the Washington Bar Association will be held Saturday at Colton, Md. Boating, swimming, fishing, dancing and baseball events will feature the yearly affair, while dinner at Golden's Hotel will climax the day.

Tribune to Aid Hero's Family
The Washington Tribune today is starting a fund to aid the needy survivor$_{s}$ of Sterling Calhoun, 32-year-old relief worker, who was drowned in an heroic attempt to save two white children near Buzzards Point in the Anacostia River, Wednesday.
Calhoun, the father of three children, the youngest, six months old, now suffering with pneumonia at Callinger Hospital, had no insurance. The children are three and five years old, respectively. Relief funds can't be used to bury the body of the would-be hero and his family is penniless and in a desperate plight. Thus, the Tribune appeals to its sympathetic readers
Employees of the Tribune are contributing liberally to the fund. Public contributions will be received by Mrs. Dovie G. Brooks at the Tribune office. 920 U Street. Northwest, or will be collected if you call Potomac 1667. The names and addresses of the contributors, with the amount given, will be published, except in cases where persons desire to have their names withheld. The Tribune again appeals to you for this worthy cause.

Plans to Make Survey National in Scope if Successful Here
Efforts to assure the Negro some direct benefit from the mounies to be spent in Washington through various projects under the President's Works Program, the money for which is to come from the recent $4,800,000,000 appropriation authorized by Congress, are being made by a group of leading citizens here. Support of this effort is expected from the NAACP, the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, the Parent-Teachers' Association and various civic associations.
No Separate Set-ups
As soon as the Applications Division of the Works Program was set up under Gerald Walker, George E. Cohron and Attorney Charles Houston, representing the NAACP and other local organizations, made contact with Mr. Walker. They emphasized the fact that they were not endeavoring to set up separate projects, but were trying to see that Negroes are included in all the projects, and that those affecting Negroes in large numbers are directed by Negroes. As a step in this direction, Earl R. Moses, sociologist connected with the Research Department of the Public Schools of the District, was secured to submit a Juvenile Delinquency Survey similar to one conducted by him in the city of Chicago.

In the midst of the West Indies responses a wonderful chain of islands in which is that most interesting nation Haiti with its national heroes who are the pride of Negroes throughout the world. No names of great national leaders stand out bolder than those of Toussaint L'Ouverture, Henri Christophe, and Jean Jacques Dessalines.
Though life goes on in the little Negro nation of Haiti in the manner depicted in the pictures here, the Haitian people are proud and no matter how humble travelers report that they are all have a bearing bespeaking the knowledge of a rich heritage.
A maker of some of the tradition which shrouds the Haitian nation was tall, black and proud Henri Christophe. Haitian people are proud of this ruler of men and once mighty leader for Haitian independence. The story of the Citadel which Christophe built to guard against the rebellion and meet the always feared French invasion is the story of this man, who is certainly one of the most colorful pullers ever produced by the Negro race.
Citadel Like Castles
Romance wraps its mantle around the Citadel. Haiti's greatest monument. Like castles of medieval times its frowning tower rises sheer from the hills on which they are built.

A
icrumbling ruin. It is a sight to intrigue the fancy of tourists who journeyed to northern Haiti to view this example of fallen grandeur. With a little imagination he may people the halls with knights, courtiers, attendants, diplomats and ladies of court who paid honor to a picturesque king—Henri Christophe.
World's "Eighth Wonder"
There is no more impressive or spectacular ruin in the New World than the famous citadel. 14 miles south of Cape Haitian. It has often been referred to as the eighth wonder of the world." Its story is inseparably inter-woven with its builders, Henri Christophe, who rose from the obscurity of a slave to the title of Henri I. The only king in a long list of Haiti's rulers-Born in the British Island of Grenada in 1757, Christophe came to Haiti in his youth as a slave. Later he was a waiter in a Cape Haitian safe; steward on a French man-o-war; a volunteer in the force of 800 blacks and mulattoes that fought with the Americans under command of Lafayette in the capture of Savannah in 1779; and a general officer in the French forces of St. Dominique
Following the assassination of Dessalines in 1806, Christophe was elected President, but refused to take the office under a constitution by his rival, Petion, which reduced his authority to that of a figure-head. He was elected President of North Haiti by his followers and in 1811 had himself proclaimed King Henri I. and was crowned with elaborate ceremony at Cape Haitian. His royal palace at Sans Souci was the scene of royal birthdays, and all the ceremony of a European court was followed there.
Improved Haiti's Condition
He created a hereditary nobility, a royal academy and a royal theater, organized an efficient army and established schools Under his iron "mercy" and Herndon was condemned to spend 18 to 20 years on the chain-gang. An appeal of the sentence was made to the U. S. Supreme Court. This court on May 20 refused on the basis of a technicality to reverse sentence or to consider the issues involved. A sty of execution was obtained and in the fall a petition will be made for $\alpha$ rehearing. Herndon has been out of jail since the summer cf 1934, on bail of $15,000.
Chain-Gang Horrors Confirmed
Meanwhile new events are confirming the harrors of the Georgia chain-gang. Simon Minor, Negro who escaped from a chain-gang in Richmond County, Georgia, fourteen years ago, and who was arrested recently in Hempstead, Long Island, has knelt on the stone floor of his cell in police headquarters and prayed to die rather than be sent back. "When you work on a chain-gang in Georgia you work in hell," he told newspapermen. Nevertheless, Governor Lehman ordered his extradition.

rule the commerce of Cape Haitian won its independence.
The citadel is located on the summit of Bonnet-a-l'Eveque, 2,500 feet above sea. level in the heart of the Haitian jungle. It is claimed that 20,000 lives were expended in transporting every bit of the stone, brick, wood, metal of this massive fortification and more than 100 pieces of artillery, the heaviest weighing five tons.
It is claimed by legend that as the great Citadel neared completion that Christophe plunged the architect. Felix Ferrier, to death from the highest parapet of the Citadel so that the secrets of his mighty fortress might be preserved.
From this same parapet, so goes a well authenticated story, he marched a company of his guard into the abyss below to demonstrate to an English Admiral the discipline of his men.
The eastern side is the longest face, commanding the most vital approach. Its walls are 140 feet in height, and its main corridor 270 feet long and 30 feet wide. Below it is the abyss of the Grand Roucan, with a total sheer drop of 700
Was Well Defended
A great number of bronze guns, mounted on mahogany carriages, are still in place in the gun corridors that cover every approach Many others, including mortars, are scattered throughout the four floors and the inner court of the Citadel. All are beautifully stamped with royal coat of arms. The water supply of the Citadel was assured by a trough-like construction on the roof of the west gallery and of the northwest bastion.
There were luxurious royal quarters, designed to hold 10,000 men a place for ceremonies and drills, stables, a moat and drawbridges, store-rooms and dungeon.

as he can see the king.
The police beat Julian up brutally last night (Sunday) because he interfered with them when they they were arresting a man.
It is necessary that American Negroes know what Julian is doing. I have already received the impression that if he is enabled to return to America he is going to deceive the people by telling them that he is employed to bring American Negroes to Ethiopia. That will not be true, but some people may trust funds to him on his representations.
I am going to try to get jobs for some American Negroes of proven ability in the mechanical trades if Julian doesn't spoil my plans.
I am convinced that the higher class Ethiopian desires the cooperation of the American Negro, but Julian and others (the Ethiopians speak disparagingly of Dr. Young and a Dr. West) have set bad examples. Dr. Young and West did not contact the masses, but everybody knows Julian because of his manner or sooboxing
any invading fleet. Christophe had his Council Room. The ceiling is so vaulted that the judgments he pronounced came to his victims with a thunderous effect that struck terror into their superstitious hearts. in the open inner courts stands the remains of Christophe's tomb, a rudely built sacrophagus of brick. Years ago it was broken into and riffed and no trace of his body remains. Nearby is a smaller tomb of his favorite son who was killed by lightning.
Christophe did not live to see the completion of his great work. Its construction had been possible only by the organization of his section of Haiti on a feudal plan. All of its riches and its peasants, regardless of age or sex, were ruthlessly drafted for its building. Another less colorful Haitian leader, Boyer, had succeeded to power in the south on the death of Petion in 1818. Christophe's blacks were deserting in increasing numbers to Boyer's more lenient rule, and the spirit of revolt was growing. Although he had been suddenly stricken with paralysis he recovered sufficently to see his troops, under Joachim, pass in review before him on their way to give battle against the advancing troops from the South. That night news came that Prince Joachim had gone over to the invading army and Christophe shot himself through the heart with a gold bullet. His few remaining faithful followers, headed by his widow, carried the body in the dark night from Sans Souci to the Citadel and covered it with quicklime.
Christophe's Citadel, the "eighth wonder of the world," has along with many other interesting features about Haiti attracted thousands of tourists. H. M. Sheppard of the Houston Chronicle and a number of other Houstonians were recent visitors to Haiti and Puerto Rico. Pictures reproduced with this article were photographed by Mr. Sheppard.
the poor people in the streets about the schools he is going to give them free. He has promised to teach 100 boys to fly in the 60 airplanes he is to bring from America.
His debts among the servant class constitute a serious problem. He has several servants to take down the names of people who wish to enroll in his mythical school. The deceit is tragic because you can tell these people you want them to work for you and they will work for several weeks without pay if you promise them to help them obtain an education. They are eager for learning. The people will believe in anybody like Julian, and they will wait and wait for their pay until you owe them so much, they are afraid to make demands and anger you for fear you will not pay them anything. These matters do not come to the attention of the government because this class fears to complain to his majesty, but become a basis for grievances against the American Negro.

N. A. P.—I am thinking of quitting my job and run an ad in the paper. What do you think?
Ans: Run an ad in this paper immediately and do not quit your job until you have good prospects of getting another position. State in your ad that you do not want to work on SUNDAYS or you may find yourself in the same boat of working every day in the year
L. J.—What should my mother do about her domestic affairs?
Ans: She should not stay at home as long as your father continues to DRINK and try and abuse her. Your father will not carry out his threats that he has made but will cause her much grief and some bodily harm if he doesn't lay off the CORN.
G. R.—Why does my friend want me to leave my present boy friend for him?
Ans: It is only natural for someone to want something that they think that they can't get—and so does your friend. Your present boy friend is very good to you and you should not allow someone else to influence you. Pay no attention to his flow of beautiful words.
M. E. B.—I want to know will I succeed in paying for my home?
Ans: Your SON-IN-LAW will see to it that you raise the necessary money to take up the payments on your home. Although you have never liked him very much he has never shown that he liked you either—he will help you raise the money to save your home.
He is strictly a business man and does not show his feelings for anyone.
M. L. B.—Will I get any money from my husband if I get good with him again?
Ans: Not this time—for he has learned your SPEED. He knows that you don't love him and when you want something bad enough then you look him up. You have already gotten everything that you will get from him for he has found someone else that he had rather spend his money on. A job is what you need.
M. E. S.—When will I get work and in what field do you believe that I will enter into?
Ans: It is my opinion that you will go back to work for the Government. I suggest that you place your application with them. The year of 1936 will prove a more financial success for you than this year has.
J. C.—What will I do the balance of the summer?
Ans: You will take a trip to SOUTH CAROLINA around the first of August and remain there visiting RELATIVES until September first. You will receive an invitation from a cousin of yours and your mother will arrange for you to go immediately.
R. A. P. O.—Will I ever be well again?
Ans: Of course you will—your illness has kept you in bed for a MONTH now but as a rule one suffering from this disease is kept
in seven or eight weeks. You need not worry about your job for it will be waiting for you when you feel strong enough to return to work.

Randolph Mentioned For Post on A. F. L. Committee
A Phillip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was boosted for representation on the American Federation of Labor Executive Committee, Tuesday, by John E. Davis, Executive Secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery.
After urging the A. F. L. Committee Investigating Discrimination to grant Negroes representation on the Executive Committee, Mr. Davis declared, speaking about Mr. Randolph, "this is the man that should be given the place." He praised Mr. Randolph's work with the Brotherhood which recently won a victory against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company-

Surprises; Cardinals O
in Sabbath T
Predicted tightening of the TriState baseball league race came to a definite head during the past week as the LeDroit Tigers copped leadership in the run for the bunting from the Oriental Tigers.
It marked the first week-end since early season that the Southwesterners had relinquished the top berth.
Material in the change of position of the two teams favored to fight it out for the title was a divided Fourth of July twin bill between them and a LeDroit victory over the Columbia A.C., while the Prides of the Point were taking an unexpected shellacking from the Cardinals.
Split Holiday Card
The LeDroiters, behind the 3-hit pitching of Jack Craig, evened the holiday affair with the Orientalis by coping a 2-0 decision after losing the first encounter, 10-5. Bus Holmes, Oriental veteran, bested Lefty George Smith, Northwest southpaw, in that opening battle. In the Sabbath engagements, the young west-end Columbia aggregation suffered its twelfth setback of the season when Cleo Smith's henchmen went on a batting spree and collected 24 hits for a 26-13 decision. Rain stopped the second game before the proceedings had gotten under way. The Southwest representatives went down to defeat before the superior fighting of the Cardinals, 11-8. Matching hit for hit and using their total of 13 bingles to advantage, the Redbirds proved they held no fear for the loopheading Orientalis.
Elks Again Win. Lose
Out on the Suburban Gardens diamond the Elks took the first game of a double-header with the Washington Cubs by the one-sided score of 16-9, but bowed in the nightcap, 8-3. Ed Lawson was the winning pitcher for the antlered clan in the matinee fricle. Indifference and listless play had much to do with the defeat suffered by the Fauntroy outfit in the finale. Careless fielding and base-running on the part of the Fifteenth and Q Street boys was utilized by the Cubs who made every post a winning one, going in front at the start and never being headed.

SILVER MOON A. C. BOWS TO AZTECS
Baltimoreans Trimmed Two Times in Sabbath Bill With District Nine
BALTIMORE, Md. — The local Silver Moon A. C., highly touted baseball team with home grounds at O'Donnell's Park, took the short end of two engagements with the Washington, D. C. Aztecs, here last Sunday afternoon. The winners were ahead, 11-4 and 9-3.
Although Hudson, opposing pitcher, was nicked for a total of 12 hits by the Southwest clan, he garnered a string of 14 strikeouts for his afternoon's work. Henson, his mound opponent, gave up only 5 hits and fanned 10.
In the nightcap, Prince and Wooden collaborated to hold the Baltimoreans to a pair of measely bingles, thus enabling the visitors to annex the verdict with little difficulty. Clayton, Moon finger, was touched for 7 safeties.

CHICAGO (Special)—Joe Louis's next fight will not be in Chicago after all.
When the sensational Detroiters signed a week ago to do battle over ten rounds King Levinsky at Comiskey Park on August 7 for promoter Joe Foley, it was expected that the only ring activity in which he would engage prior to that time would be in the training camp.
Today, however, Manager Julian Black revealed that, Louis has
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JULY 13, 1935
CHERNERS DEFEAT HILLSDALES IN JULY 4TH CLASH
White Outfit Garners 12 Hits to Grab 7-5 Decision From Champs
Held to five hits, only two of which were good for extra bases, the Hillsdale A.C., baseball team, 1934 city champions, fell victim in a handy 7-5 decision counted by the Cherner Motors (white) nine at Griffith Stadium, Thursday (July Fourth). Newman, pitching airtight ball, had little difficulty turning back the prides of LeDroit Park after his mates had connected with the offerings of Script Lee, his mound opponent to the extent of 4 runs in the opening frame.
... Fight in Vain
The 'Dales fought valiantly to overcome the lead thus established, and were almost rewarded when they went out after their sixth inning turn at bat on the short end of a 43 score. Again in their ninth inning, the colored title-holders pushed over a pair of tallies to bring their total to five. These, however, were annulled due to the fact that the Cherners had sandwiched a trio of markers in between that sixth inning splurge of the Hillsdales and that pair of counters in the final frame. The white boys, with Joe Giovanni, one of the smoothest pieces of semi-pro talent in local circles, at second base sent over the margin with which they won their eighth turn at raps. The 'Dales were somewhat shaky behind Lee, three miscues finding their way into the afternoon's defensive efforts. Only one hobble was committed by the winners.

The change in plans will not keep Louis away from his Chicago training camp. At present in Detroit, the Brown Bomber is already reported as tiring of inactivity, and he is scheduled to arrive in Chicago late this week. Black has been looking over the various sites which have been offered for Louis's use as training camps, and will make a decision shortly as to which one will be used.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
We're still hearing rumblings from the Max Baer-James J. Braddock fisticuffs, which resulted in the lifting of the titular tam from the dome of Herr Maxie at Madison Square Garden's Long Island City Bowl a month ago tonight (Thursday).
The belief that Baer tossed his championship belt into the lap of the Cinderella Man from Jersey seems to hang on despite the many evidences to the contrary. That Braddock is a man equipped with two fists, ring knowledge, punching power and the ability to "take it" seems to escape the minds of those deducing followers who would have the Irishman's victory anything but a genuine triump.
Baer, disliked as he is, becomes a target for the crowds who mean to prove that he simply took a lambasting from Braddock for reasons best known to himself and certain "crooked interests."
The former champion has been accused, among other things, of "laying down" to Braddock so that he might collect large amounts from unscrupulous gamblers; of placing through agents huge sums of his opponent at the very attractive odds of 8 to 1; of "selling out" to rivals of the Twentieth Century Sporting Club who seem to have the next champion of the world in Joe Louis so that Baer who was already signed to meet the winner of the Louis-Carnera fight—would not be risking the title in the later battle, and of other things equally as malicious—and ridiculous.
These are all attractive theories for the gossiping classes who would have it believed that Baer isn't, never was and never will be anything but a conceited, avarious braggart. They seize upon them in an effort to strengthen arguments anent the fallings of the deposed title-holder.
Baer, in the mind of this observer, was not all that a champion should be. And Braddock won't be either, for that matter. But be that as it may, both men deserve much cleaner slates than they have been given for their work of that Thursday night, one month ago, on Coney Island.
Max simply underestimated his challenger. There had been so much talk in the press and elsewhere about the futility of such a match that Baer, never the most serious sort of chap, had no trouble convincing himself that all he had to do was climb through the ropes and Braddock would look for his hole.
He, like nine out of ten newspaper men and boxing critics in the country, simply "couldn't see James J...' Is there any wonder that the California Clown couldn't take his training or his opponent like he would castor oil? Braddock went down just like water and champagne.
I dare say there is not a single athlete of any experience in the country who does not know the fruits of holding an opponent too lightly. All of them have, at some time or another felt the pangs of overconfidence.
Athletes in that audience at Madison Square Garden Bowl could appreciate Baer's predicament.
Those of us who have had a part in competitive athletics also know how it feels to face an opponent we know is inferior but whose dogged determination and will-to do ir not to be denied. They know what it is to face a man who "won't take 'No' for an answer."
Braddock was just that kind of an opponent on the 13th of June.
It sounds right silly to me when I hear it said that Baer "tossed" the fight, no matter what reason is given as the basis for the argument. All of them conflict with general descriptions of his make-up.
Here's a man whose love for a penny is exceeded only by his love for a dollar. Here's a man who doesn't seem to be able to get his mitts on ENOUGH money. And he would forfeit his chances to get twice, maybe thrice, the amount he could hope to obtain from that one fight for such reasons as are placed at his door? No.
As champion, Baer stood as one of the principals in the long awaited "million dollar gate" promised by the phenomenal rise of Joe Louis, for which he could literally "write his own check."
As champion, Baer could doff his cap or thumb his nose at the $300,000 offer of a fight with Max Schmeling, for which German promotion (before the fight) was on its knees in supplication.
As champion, Baer could continue his beloved Hollywood escapades for M. G. M., Fox, Paramount, Universal, etc. And in moviedom, be it remembered, they don't pay off in pickels and dimes. And don't forget his radio contract.
As champion, Baer wouldn't care a hoot about the peeved Madison Square Garden, and Madison Square Garden officials nursed for him and his habits.
And as champion, Baer—giving up the ring game as his newly-acquired bride had threatened—could always fall back on a belated defense of his title to evict the wolf from his vestibule.
Maxie didn't "throw" that fight to Braddock. Maxie may be foolish, but he's no fool.
where on the south side, a move that will permit his thousands of supporters to watch him go through his daily drills. Still in Condition Louis will not need a great deal of conditioning, of course, as his knockout of Primo Carrera is so recent. He weighed 196 pounds when he achieved that victory, and right now he remains under 200. He will begin light work as soon as he arrives this week, will take a few days off to fill his engagement in Toronto, and will then return to take up his heavy training routine. He will box from four to six rounds daily, go through the usual drill, and put in the five to eight
miles each morning on the road which he considers so important a part of his conditioning.
Flooded with Stage Offers
In starting to work so soon after coming out of one hard fight Louis is again calling attention to himself as one of the few fighters in the ring who really likes fighting. Since stopping Carnera Joe has been besieged with offers for personal appearances; some of them, for theatrical work, have run as high as $5,000 a week.
But the grim Detroit lad has turned them all down, and those close to him assert that it is unlikely Joe Louis can ever be persuaded to get behind the footlights again.
WILLIAMS WINNER OVER BABY TIGER FLOWERS IN CHI
Golden Glover Retains Colored Lightweight Title; Bridges Beats Thomas
CHICAGO, Ill (ANP) — In a spectacular eight-round knockout, Holman Williams, claimant of the Negro lightweight championship, retained his title at the White Sox ball park last Tuesday night. Nearly 7,000 persons witnessed the show.
The victim of Williams' lethal punches was Baby Tiger Flowers, of San Francisco. Williams weighed 134 pounds and Flowers 132½.
Although Flowers put up a courageous fight, there was little doubt of the outcome from the start, the only guess, being in what round the sharp-shooting Williams could catch up with his foe. He both outboxed and outslugged Flowers, although the latter showed to advantage in the infighting.
Tried to Outpooint
Flowers' plan of battle seemed to be to try to hold Williams off and outpoint him. His punches lacked steam. He succeeded in evading Williams until near the end of the eleventh round, when the champion nailed him with a straight right and sent him to the canvas. Flowers arose after a nine-count and tore into Williams. The two men mixed it up furiously across the ring and once again Williams landed. This time Flowers went through the ropes, but scrambled back into the ring and started pumping blows to keep his foe off. The bell saved him.
Williams began the eighth round determined to finish his man. Only a few seconds had elapsed when Flowers was struck again and went sprawling out of the ring onto the floor of the arena. This time he injured his shoulder. He got up quickly, flew back into the ring, holding his shoulder, and attempted to hold Williams off with one hand. The referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
Bridges Winner
Clinton Bridges, sensational Golden Gloves light heavyweight, won a disputed five-round decision over Lou Thomas, rugged white boy. Bridges, who holds two amateur decisions over Joe Louis, started bowling them over in the professional ranks, but seems to have slowed up. There is talk that he is paying too much attention to the high spots of Chicago's gay night life.
Lorenzo Pack, also a Golden Glover, wasted no time in polishing off Pete Wistort, white steel worker, in one minute and 43 seconds of the first round.
Dave Clark, another Golden Glove, won a five-round bout from Tony Zale, Italian slugger.
In the other two bouts on the bill, Max Marek, white Golden Glover, knocked out Scotty Fuller in the second round, and Bobby Pacho, the Mexican stylist, won all the way from Frankie Sagilio in ten heats.
Claim Hearst Ordered Carnera-Louis Go Off
NEW YORK, (ANP) -- After William Randolph Hearst's chief editor, Arthur Brisbane, and Westbrook Pegler, Scripps-Howard columnist, had raised so much smoke about the possibility of a race riot at the Louis-Carnera heavyweight scram, the big publisher gave orders two weeks before the battle to have it cancelled, inasmuch as his new papers were sponsoring it. However, New York officials persuaded Mr. Hearst a few hours later that there would be no riot and the order was rescinded.
You may burn a fellow's letter to ashes but that does not destroy the truth it contained.
His first appearance on any stage was in New York a few weeks ago, when he put in a solid week before record-breaking crowds at the Harlem Opera House.
Balked at Dancing
"One thing I had to do was listen to them tell me jokes." Joe recalls, "and that part wasn't so bad. But then after a while they thought it would be a great thing if I would get in there and do some dancing with that chorus.
"That part was not so good. You take a man that has got to get his shoes made specially big so that he can get his feet in them, and you know that he's not cut out to be any dancing man."

Champion Changes Mind About Not Daring To Meet Brown Bomber
NEW YORK (ANP)—James J. Braddock, who was clowned into the world heavyweight boxing championship when Max Baer clowned himself out of the title, has through his manager, Joe Gould, announced that he would, wanted and was anxious to fight Joe Louis, but he did not say when.
Lured by the prospects of a million dollar gate, the man who immediately after being awarded the championship, through the same mouthpiece declared that he would neither give Louis or Carnera a chance at the title, has changed his mind, proving the old adage that money talks. And it is money that any fight in which Joe Louis engages will bring.
weight punchers is expected to mount even higher as soon as Louis puts in an appearance. Already the advance reservations have been far beyond expectations
with the $10 and $6 pasteboards most popular—but as soon as the tickets go on sale there is expected to be a concerted rush for the $3-60 and $2-40 seats.

Tan Torpedo to Take On Exhibition Opponent ih Toronto, Canada
What was probably the biggest upset in the current season's plant of the Hillsdales, 1934 District champions, occurred last Sunday afternoon at Jackson's Park, Colesville, when the Georgetown Athletics, 1933 champions and age-old rivals of the Prides of LeDroit Park, snatched both ends of a double-header in honest-to-goodness fashion.
The west-end outfit, headed by Lefty Whitlock, stellar first baseman, grabbed the first game by score of 10-5, then added insult to injury by returning to gath in the decision in the finale by score of 9-6.
Errors Pave Way
Bus Frazier gained the best of a pitching argument—which reality was not much of a duel—from Spike Bland and Script Lea the latter a former Baltimore Black Sox dan Philadelphia Star flinger. It was largely through the feeble support of the 'Dale infielders that the Georgetown hurler was awarded the verdict.
Dick Temple, Ernie Johnson and Runt White were guilty in no uncertain degree of fielding flaws that spelt the doom of the LeDroit Parkers from the outset. The fact that the Hillsdales had all the best of the dispute at the plate pointed to these miscues as the cause of the setback from a 'Dale angle-
Lead in Finale
In the nightcap, the Whitemen went out as if they meant to even the course of events. Copping a run in the first inning and 3 more in their second, the city champions, by virtue of their defeat of this same team last year, enjoyed a handy lead up to the eighth inning. Here, however, the scrapping west-enders launched a 4-run attack that swept the Dale advantage aside and left the decision of the contest and of the twin-bill no longer in doubt.
SAN DIEGO, Calif.—Jesse Owens continued his triumphant invasion of the West here Thursday when he registered his tenth consecutive victory in as many starts since he began his visit to the Pacific Coast two weeks ago.

like a rabbit and took a two-yard
lead at the half-way mark but
the Buckeye Bullet closed with a
sensational driving finish that all
but closed the gap.
Owens Takes Jump
Forced to jump from a slippery
take-off, Owens leaped 23 fect, 9
inches in the broad jump to square
matters for the night- Peacock’s
best effort in the field evant was
23 feet, 6 34 inches which took
second place honors.
“Cornelius Johnson, — Compton

over the cross bar at 6 feet, 4
inches to tie with Kenwell Rush-

nensittion,
“Break Of Hearts” concerns a
struggling young comporer and an
eminent .ymphony orchastra con-
ductor and their efforts to cling
to a love which is put to a most
severe test. Brought together by
their mutual delight in. music,
they feel that they can shut out
the world snd always be alone to-
gether in their hearts, But the
world will not be excluded, and the
demands of fame exact their in-
evitable penalty.
Not since the earllest days of her
career has Miss Hepburn appestred
in a strictly modern love story.

you have ever seen into one, and
you'll have the greatest of all,
“Werewolf Of London” which will
be shown at the Lincoln Theatre
for an entire — week beginning
Friday,
The chief roles are enicted by
Warner Oland, Henry Hull and
Valerie Hobson. “Werewolf Of
London” is a picture based on the
fabled creatures called “were-
wolves"; creatures who are men
most of the time but who become
transformed into wolves each
month during the full of the moon.
It is then that they prowl the
darkened streets tearing the life-
blood from humans to satiate their
wolfish blood lust,
Warner Oland and Henry Hull
are the two characters in the film
who are seen as werewolves, Hull
is married to Valerie Hobson. and
the high spot of the picture is the
scene in which she sees the man
she loves turning into @ wolf and
attempting to kill her. “‘Werewolf
Of London” has more thrills than
“Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”

"No Brickbats allowed—we, as a race don't need th' darn things."
By Wm. (Wiggles) THOMAS
How information comes in. I have found out already that a columnist is only a conductor and doesn't have to look for news, or is it news that he writes? Anyway I have received a lot of information about interesting folk this week but now, my friends, some of the news you so willingly imparted can't be classed as complimentary. I'm sorry, I can't use it. I don't write Capital City Moments anymore. No bricks are tossed through me. No, indeedy, X marks th' sock and I seem to walk on the darn (scuse it) thing. Hospital bills Bah! May he plot—um.
Well, hospitality Brooklyn, she had he that look

So much for the explanation of this pillar. Now to attend to these flowers.
Oh yes, one "vaze" of orchids to Herman Payne who has stopped playing comedian long enough to think seriously about the sign painting game. The lad is developing technique AND his bank account. Not sure, but I think me girl Friday is inspiring the boy. Another orchid to Payne.
To Mrs. Claudia McConnel, local poetess or poet—well, the lady writes rhyme with such a feeling. She is now writing a pageant about four seasons and I have been fortunate to peep at some of the manuscript. I shan't miss its presentation at the Metropolitan M.E. Church in the not far distant future. Oh for more writers like Claudia McConnel.
To Washington (Battling Zu Zu) Alexander who is secretly training for a comeback. The lad is a light-heavyweight and exhibits a style similar to friend Joe Louis. Incidentally they look alike. No offense, Gentlemen.
May I present a special plot of these to T. Dupont Georges, the editor of the Progressive Consumers Magazine, for his sincere efforts in promoting a testimonial banquet for the colored firemen and policemen of the District. Mr. Georges is attempting something that has seemingly never been thought of before. Please clear away all brickbats.
***** A corsage of orchids to Mrs. Velma Buckner who has secretly planned to present to Washington art lovers an exhibit well worth your attendance. Mrs. Buckner is a former student of Columbia University and pursued special courses in Cape Cod, Mass., where she was the only Negro in her class. The only lady has genius. May your exhibit go over with a boom, Mrs. Buckner.
Mrs. Georgianna Goins, please accept, this tiny bouquet for your commendable work with the Ladies' String Orchestra at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y.W.C.A. I have learned that you have been organized a year and have been presented only once. Why? You are doing a great service Mrs. Goins. May I offer a tiny boost. To George (Nat) Williams, our beer-bellied maestro who has reorganized his orchestra. I'm glad to see that you're not a quitter, Nat.
I could go on giving my perfect beauties away but I'll stop until next week.
So kind of you dear readers to help me with this work. I thoroughly appreciate your aid. I may be contacted by writing "Wiggles" 1120 Lamont Street, Northwest, or by telephone, Columbia 0430.
ASSAULTED MAN MISTREATED AT HOSPITAL
BRONX, N.Y. (CNA) — White hoodium elements who have been permitted free reign by the police here savagely assaulted Mrs. Ethel Drayton and Sydney Spencer last Sunday evening as the two were walking in company with Miss Anna Eiseman, white.
Knocked Unconscious
"One of them knocked Spencer unconscious," Mrs. Drayton declared. "Another threw something at me, crushing my nose, almost knocking me into insensibility. Mrs. Eiseman's cries for help attracted several white passersby, but too late to catch the assailants. "It was over an hour before the ambulance came. Spencer lay on the ground, bleeding precisely and groaning under terrific pain. For myself the situation w.s much the same."
"You Can Go Home"
At the Fordham Hospital where Spencer's wounds were dressed, without bathing the injuries and removing the clotted blood and dirt, the physician in charge said, "Well, you're all right; you can go home." After considerable protest by Miss Eiseman, Spencer was permitted to stay, but not before the attempt of officials to remove him to the Harlem Hospital had also failed.

Memoranda by a Columnist, lately returned from Harlem.
After a hectic if somewhat brief visit to dear 'ole Harlem, ye ole commentator of things local will attempt to regale you with news here, there and everywhere....As is customary at this season of the year, New York is crowded with an influx of out-of-towners.... among those glimpsed in the big city were Arthur Greene, of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., who told me that he is indefinitely stationed at Harlem's million dollar Y.M.C.A. (lucky devil), Joe Bostic, Henry Kone, "Eddie" Edmead, Emma Gilmore, estidher Webb and Edna Ward, and Linton Mordecal...most of the above mentioned personalities having journeyed up in the party of yours truly.... Many sights were observed, numerous places visited, and not a few friends outid themselfs in the manner in which we were entertained....To attempt to report all of the incidents and happenings that took place during our brief stay, would be to attempt to achieve the impossible. However, there were some outstanding things that might be worthy of mentioning....Such as how the bunch very nearly lost their destination, when they failed to follow the writer off an express subway train, the gay and hilarious christening reception of Mrs. Ruby Edmead's little offspring, held from Sunday midafternoon to Monday morning, having a delightful breakfast dinner with the Bostic lad's talented cousin, Mrs Susie Blakely, who tutors in the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School, the awe-inspiring theatre party at the spacious Roxy cinema house, and taking pictures on the roof top of my mother's apartment dwelling....These and other never-to-be forgotten scenes will always linger in the minds of those who took this trip....Harlemites still love to recal Joe

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JULY 13, 1935
Random Thoughts of a Snobber.
This week, Wayman Noble takes a hand at writing and gives the latest lowdown on what's happening about town. Well, here goes... The Inter-City Athletic Association, headed by Harry Alexander, will stage several bouts over in Alexandria for the benefit of the columnists, next Sunday. All of the leading columnists will take part. The event will be held at the home of Morris Murray. And back to the gab. Notice that Roscoe Smith likes to horn n on free dances even though he carries some scratch in his pockets. Better get loose with some before a certain young hears this... John Banks needs a trip down Richmond way because he likes other people's cigarettes. They cost only 13 cents a pack, pal.
The Whole Town's Talking!
Imagine La Verne Robinson trying to swim at the Banneker pool. It reminds one of a whalefloating in an ocean, Sorry, Tubby, old kid!...Notice that Buster Brown tried to imitate Bing Crossy at one of Washington's latest sin dives (Barnes' Lunch) the other night. Better take a vocal course, Bus...Andrew Thomas should act like a sport and give Tacky a chance to jibe his own girl-friend, Helen M. Wade. Notice that he drives L. Fulmer around town in that bus of his. He is too much for the local pimps. Ever hear of ostriches putting their heads in a hoe in the ground? Notice that Ham and Tacky tried to hide when a certain lady came out of her house.

Tit and Tat
John Minnix is trying to buy a share in Barnes' Cafe because he hangs around the place almost every night. I advise the young man to take out some shares at some other place. Leroy Coleman and Gertrude have made themselves quite popular since the young man confessed his love for her. Little man, what next?... George Harris seems to have beaten Clyde Rufflin's time since he started jibing Ruth Smith. For further info, see Buster...William Styles with his "airflow anklers," was seen talking in modest tones to Evelyn Howard, even though the young miss from the East wasn't around. I wonder what Wilma will say when she knows about this.
The Four Sharps, popular local harmony quartet, have just changed their name to the Five Sharps, William Middleton. c young pianist, has joined the quintet and promises to perform on the ivories this coming season. Other members are Wayman Noble, Joe Overton, Reese Carson and Joe Bussey.

Tid-Bits of Ivy City.
It is said that the love affair of Samuel Prince and Evelyn is on the rocks again. Why not cheer the couple, up, all your fellers?... Elsie Moore seems to be hanging on to Francis, now that he has a job. But how long will it last, partner?...G. Thomas was seen holding hands with R. Carson. Wonder where was, Reds?...Frances Thomas and George McQueen are at odds since a certain young man danced with the young lady. Are they just angry or really serious about the matter? Let's dance! I advise all of you fist-sluggers to see Harry Alexander at the Tribune office and join up for the pre-priminaries that will be held before the main bout...R. Mayfield is very sad at heart since a certain young girl of his left town for the hills of Virginia.

Hot Tips.
James Wright has gained the affections of Nellie Kinski since his girl gave him the air. It's too bad, fellow...Winifred Weeks has her eyes on a certain young man since Curtis Jakson gave her the go-along...Notice that Percy Taylor, Leon Thompson and Paul Rus sell drive around town in Paul's strugglebuggy picking up certain young girls, then dump them and drive on First Street. Percy, you had better get wise to Geraldine W. Pops has the go there... Lorenzo Shields was observed trucking through the plaza on his way to visit Frances Smith, who is ill at her home. Wonder where was Nick....
More Tips.
The Consoling-Pals had quite a surprise to their gallant party at Mike's beer garden, Friday, when L. Coates took Mildred Coates from their midst. Too bad there was no team-work among the snooty club... Charles Galley, who is work his way through a southern college, surprised Vickie Washington when he wrote a long letter to Inez Truitt. Maybe the young man became lonesome down in them that hills of Alabama and wished that Vickie was near him, but changed his mind and thought about the good times he had in dear ole D.C.
William "Ham" Ruffin seems not to mind Maxine but likes to jibe Elizabeth Jackson... Wilhelmina Galley of Myrtle Street has gone column crazy since she met Joe. Wonder if he still is thinking about

TEXAS NEWSPADER
REPRINTS NEGRO
FITAPIA
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, (ANP)
—One unusually interesting re-
sult of the recent Joe Louis-Primo
Tarnera brawl was the complete
reproduction in the columns of a
white southern daily, of tn edi-
torial appearing in a Negro pub-
lication.
In its issue of July 1, the San
Antonio, Texas, “Evening News,
printed in toto, the San Antonio
Register’s editorial comment, issue
of June 28, concerning the Man
Mountain-Brown Bomber fracas.
This instance is unprecedented in
the journalistic annals of the
Southewest, and it is commonly be-
lieved that this marks the first
lime that a southern paper has
published, in its entirety, any race
editorial.
‘The Register, owned and pub-
lished hy the affluent Valmo C.
Bellinger, is edited by Ulysses J.
Andrews, former Denver journal-
ist who was called to Texas May |
1, to assume’ the editorship of the
local paper; Andrews is crested
with being the author of the arti-
cle, with which the News’ comment,
fs here given:
“How Negro Race Looks Upon
Louis”
“Quite ‘often it is a good thing
to know what the other fellow
Is thinking, because no matter
what the controversy may be, there
are always two sides to it.
“We were wonderng just how
Negroes felt about the victory of
Joe Latiis over Carnera the other
night. We found a well-written
editorial, én the “Register,” local
Negro newspaper, which’ gives
some facts, especially what the
colored race thinks about Jack
Johnson, the former heavyweight
champion, who got in “dutch” with
his own ‘race from all-too-well-
known acts. Here’s the editorial:”
“The Coming Champion”
“ “Tuesday night, when a merci-
ful referee stopped the withering
Slaughter of huge Primo Carnera
at the hands of Joe Louis by up-
lifting the latter's hand as a token
of victory, there were few who
doulfed that a new heavyweight
world champion was in the mak-
ing—that that same raised hand,
symbolic of victory, for the 23rd
Line-vithin a year, would some
iigy ve raised proclaiming its
ayy the champion of all the
Sorid.
“Among the near 0,000 who
Timmessed the carnage, was a mant
Whose very words were literally
being stuffed down his throat by
Louis, the Brown Bomber, Among
the convincing, popular victory of
that vast multitude was Jack
Johnson, who once—for a brief
moment—basked in the glory, the
Ridulation that is Louis’ tonight.’ ”

60-Year-Old Woman Dies Under Wheels of Rum-Laden Truck
Illicit Liquor Taken From Death Machine by Police After Fatal Crash
DRIVER WAITING TRIAL
ON PREVIOUS CHARGE
Coroner's Probe Orders Man Held for Jury Action; Denies Blame
Pinned to a telegraph pole near her home last Friday morning, Mrs. Annie Bell Briscoe, 60 years old, 409 K Street, Northwest, forfeited her life, victim of a rumrunning truck. The driver, a reputed police character, Albert Taylor, alias Country, was arrested later and called upon to face a coroner's inquiry at the District Morgue, Tuesday. A verdict of death due to negligence held him for a grand jury hearing and probable manslaughter indictment.
Fleeing Arrest
Taylor who was being pursued by Policeman James Rogers, white revenue officer, in the vicinity of Fourth and L Streets, Northwest, drove his truck into Naylor court, abandoned it, and escaped through Number 9 Naylor court.
The aged victim was seated on a box near a house when the rum-laden machine bore down the alley toward her. She had no time to escape.
The truck, a model T Ford, swerved across the alley pinning Mrs. Bell to the telegraph pole and injuring Edna Chase. 27, Number 3 Naylor Court, who had been standing talking to the other woman.
Mrs. Bell was taken to Gallinger Hospital, after being treated at Sibley, where she died that evening. Mrs. Chase was carried to Freedmen's Hospital where her condition was pronounced not serious.
Denies Striking Woman
Taylor, after escaping, voluntarily surrendered himself to police authorities. He alleges that he put on the emergency brakes before fleeing the truck and that the revenue officer's car struck the rear end of his truck causing it to swerve.
The driver of the truck was out on bond for previous offenses and was known to have been operating a vehicle without license in contraband liquor trade.
Dr. C. J. Murphy performed an autopsy on Mrs. Bell stating as cause of death a ruptured liver and punctured lung caused by broken ribs with accompanying shock and hemorrhage.

the time in a scout car, yelled to her to get inside with that noise.
Mrs. Sterling stated. When she called back that she was in need of assistance, the officers. Mrs. Sterling sobbed, stopped the car, rushed over to her house, pushed her into the dining room where Officer Reid brutally heat her, then carried her out bodily to the Fourth Precinct, where they placed a charge of disorderly conduct against her. She stated she was again beaten at the station house.
Forced to Pay $5
Mrs. Sterling was required to leave a $5 collateral at the precinct and was held at the E Street Station pending the posting of the collateral for a period of approximately four hours before being given medical attention. Her family physician found her to be suffering with "severe shock, swollen left eye eid, fractured forearm, abrasion of the right knee and possible broken arm." She was given an X-Ray examination which revealed the arm was broken.
Being unable to appear in Police Court the next day. Mrs. Sterling sent a doctor's certificate by her sister who was advised that she (Mrs. Sterling) had "elected to forfeit" and nothing could be done about it. The matter was called to the attention of the court clerk by attorneys for the woman and the forfeiture set aside and the case set for hearing in Police Court this morning (Thursday).
Failed to Make Report
Despite the fact that Mrs. Sterling had advised the arresting officers that she would appear in court, the record on the blotter at the Fourth Precinct carried the words, "Elected to Forfeit." A search of the Volume Book and Incidental Book by a Tribune reporter failed to reveal any written report on the incident by the arresting officers with the exception of the blotter report which merely stated that a person by the name of "Jessie Sterling" had been arrested for "disorderly conduct." Efforts to contact precinct officers with reference to the matter also proved futile. Capt. Jeremiah Sullivan was off for the day and the Precinct Lieutenant in charge was out when the Tribune reporter called
May Go TO Trial Board
Atty. George E. C. Hayes, counsel for Mrs. Sterling and chairman of the Local Legal Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has called the matter to the attention of Inspector Albert J. Headley, in charge of the District Metropolitan Police. Attorney Hayes represented the defendant at the Police Court trial today.
In a letter to Inspector Headley, Attorney Hayes said:
"We feel that the disorderly conduct charge is entirely without merit but without regard to the correctness of that charge there can be no question but that this assault upon Mrs. Sterling was unwarranted and unprovoked; and Board."
The estimated total of mileage of motor vehicles in the U. S. in 1934 was 146 billion miles. Brazil has passed a law against the Fascist movement.

TALES VARY AT MURDER INQUIRY Coroner's Jury Hears Several Different Versions of Shooting
Four bullets from a .38 caliber revolver, together with conflicting evidence as to how the fatal shooting of Jay Nicholson, 22, address unknown, occurred, caused Andrew Chambers, 32, of 30 G Street, Northwest, to be held for the action of the grand jury at an inquest, at the District morgue, Monday.
Chambers shot Nicholson at the G Street address Friday during an altercation in which it is alleged that Nicholson threatened Chambers and threw a brick through his front-room window.
Chambers died Saturday at Casualty Hospital as a result of shock from hemorrhage caused by bullets which penetrated his leg, arm and abdomen.
It was, however, on the conflicting stories of witnesses that the verdict was based

Lawrence Harris, a boarder
claims that immediately prior to
the shooting, he was going over
books with Chambers, while Josephine Johnson, Chamber's sister,
said that he was not.
Cora Chambers, another sister
of Chambers, claims that she was
in the front room of the house
when the brick, which crystallized
the affair, was thrown through the
window. Her sister, Josephine,
stated that Cora was standing in
the front door.
Changes Statement
At the time of his arrest by police officers, Chambers claimed that he had fired two bullets from a revolver which he purchased in Maryland in 1927 and kept in the bread-box in his kitchen. When a formal statement was being made at No. 1 precinct, he said that he did not know how many shots had been fired. Whether or not the shots were fired in succession or at intervals, could not be ascertained from the witnesses. Chambers, who runs a private boarding house, claims that he fired one shot in the front room and the remaining in the front yard.
HIPKINS'S SEA FOOD GRILL
MAN LOSES LIFE IN VAIN HEROIC ATTEMPT; 3 DIE
Unemployed Father of 3 Plunges in River to Rescue White Kids
Tragedy stalked in the wake of tragedy on the banks of the Anacostia River, late yesterday (Wednesday), when a destitute former relief worker sacrificed his mediocre ability as a swimmer against the turbulent currents of the river in a heroic effort to rescue two little white children who were swept away by the current and sank with their would-be rescuer, Sterling Calhoun, 32, off Buzzards Point.
Those drowned were Mary Kerns, 14, he 10-year-old brother, Richard, the children of a white carpenter, who lived with their six brothers and sisters near the water front at 1901 First Street, Southwest, and Calhoun.
The children were seeking relief from the intense heat of the day by wading in the water near the river shore. They either stepped off into deep water or were pulled beyond their depth by the current.
Recue In Vain
Calhoun, seeking to replenish the family larder by fishing, heard the cries of the helpless children about 70 yards away. Although he was not known among his associates as an expert swimmer, Calhoun, without stopping to remove his shoes or clothing plunged into the river after the drowning children. He, too, was swept by the current.
Albert Wingert, 15-year-old white youth, who was a classmate of one of the drowning victims, at a Southwest junior high school, heard the cries of the children, while on a houseboat near the Corinthian Yacht Club, white, nearby. Wingert, rowed to the scene but arrived too late to be of assistance. He immediately summoned Harbor Police.
Respiration Futile
The drownings occurred around 9 o'clock in the morning. About an hour and a half later, police recovered the bodies of Mary Kerns and Calhoun from the river. They were removed to the District Morgue for identification. The deep water made recovery of the bodies difficult and the body of Richard was not dragged from the river until three hours later. Firemen attempted artificial respiration on the body of Calhoun but in vain. His body was identified by his wife.
Father of Three
Calhoun, who lived at 117 L Street, Southwest, was the father of three children, the youngest six months old and the oldest five years of age. He was relief worker-His futile efforts to save the lives of the white children left his own fatherless. The youngest is in Gailinger Hospital suffering with pneumonia.
According to Calhoun's wife, the man was put off an emergency relief job put some time ago and since has spent considerable time at the river front seeking to gain food for the family. Questioned as to her future means of support, she, sobbingly, said: "I don't know what we'll do now."

"DAD" GRACE FREED IN TAX CASE
Bishop Charles Manuel Grace, founder and head of the House of Prayer, was virtually cleared of income tax evasion in the Federal Court at Baltimore, Md., Wednesday, when Attorney General Cummings recommended nole prossing of the case.
The bishop, who has been hailed into court three times within the past four years, faced a maximum penitentiary term of 32 years in jail or a fine of $80,000 on the charges. His bank account has been attached until final disposition of the case.
In 1932, U. S. officials notified the bishop that he had failed to file income tax returns. The head of the House of Prayer later made a report showing an income of $17,700 for the years 1927-1931, Government agents investigated and found the bishop's income to have been $298,000 for the period 1925 to 1932
Indicted on Eight Counts
He was subsequently charged with failure to file returns and filing fraudulent returns. The indictment carried eight counts, six criminal and two misdemeanors. The bishop, represented by Attorney Leon D. DeOrsey, Howe P-Cochran and Simon Soboloff, white, of this city, in his defense claimed that the government had counted three years which were not ac-
counted for in his report. The recommendation for nolle prosse virtually frees the bishop. Bishop Grace was in Washington for two days early this week, but left for Philadelphia, Wednesday, and could not be reached for a statement.
CAFE OPENING TO
TRY CHANGES
Barksdale's Goes Modern with Installation of Drinks;
Quits Self-Service
Formal opening of Barksdale's Cafeteria, 1938 Ninth Street, Northwest, will be celebrated Monday, it was announced by the popular proprietor-manager, early this week.
A change in policy, hours and service will feature the inaugural ceremonies. Abandonment of the strick cafeteria service will probably be the principal innovation with the licensed sale of wine and beers secondary.
Barksdale's is located at the spot made famous by one of the city's leading caterers. It was taken over by the present operator when it became apparent that the business could be made a paying one with improvements.
Efforts to transform the once falling business into a lucrative one were brought to a head, early this week with the announcement that drastic changes in policy were to be put to a test

ELKS' MEETING PLANS TOPPED BY FLORIST'S ISSUE
on seeing this advertisement offered severe criticism of the general committee and its chairman for this apparent disloyalty. Dr. Fisher, when interviewed, by the Tribune, declared that the accusations of Mr. Murray were unfounded. He stated that the Capitol decorators were one of several companies that had been given permission to furnish flags, bunting and the like, but that the transaction with the concern was not one that could have been gone into with a colored firm. There is no Negro company doing the same business as that company, Dr. Fisher stated further. He said that the contract for floral decorations and electrifying had not been let and that bids on this would be received from every colored company in the city capable of handling the job.
Dr. Fisher asserted that Mr. Murray was either misinformed or intending to use this subterfuge for an attack on him and his cunittee. Mr. Murray himself is a member of the committee on electrical work.

The funds are to be used in the defense of local cases that come before the body for aid. Other plans for the raising of the money have all been failures and this new plan calling upon each person to contribute a dime and pass the letter on to four others is hoped to be a success.
The letters are to be mailed first to the members of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., and then by them to their friends until the needed sum of money is raised.
After all--there is much more wisdom, goodness and love in the world than we imagine.

LAVERNE NOYES SCHOLARSHIP IS AWARDED H.U.
Each Branch of Local Institution to be Benefitted by Fund
The trustees of the estate of the late LaVerne Noyes, of Chicago, Ill. have notified President Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, that a scholarship will be provided at Howard University for each school and college of the university. Under the will of LaVerne Noyes, deceased, the trustees of his estate are authorized to expend a portion of the income of the trust estate in paying, to such universities or colleges as they may from time to time, select, the tuition, in part or in full, of deserving students needing this assistance to enable them to procure a university or college training
Color No Difference
This is to be done "without regard to difference of sex, race, religion or political party," but only for those who shall be citizens of the United States of America and either (1) "shall themselves have served in the army or navy of the United States of America in the war into which our country entered on the 6th day of April, 1917, and were honorably discharged from such service, or (2) "shall be descended by blood from some one who has served in the army or navy of the United States in said war, and who either is still in said service or whose said service in the arm lor navy was termin-
ed by death or an honorable discharge."
**Patriotism Award**
The trustees announce that the purpose of Mr. Noyes in establishing these scholarships was to express his gratitude to, and in a slight degree to reward "those who ventured the supreme sacrifice of life for this country and for mankind in this war for the liberty of the world, and also to aid in keeping alive, for generations to come, the spirit of unselfish patriotic devotion which these men displayed and without which no free government can long end."
OPERATOR FREED IN MAN'S DEATH
Motorman Absolved in Accident Which Took Life of Man. 55
The city's first "stream line" street car fatality occurred Thursday when Jefferson Lewis, 55, of 409 Fourth Street. Southeast, was struck by a car operated by Thomas McDonald, white, of 309 Third Street, Southeast.
The accident happened when Lewis who was crossing Pennsylvania Avenue, diagonally at Fourth Street, Southeast, was hit by the asthush trolley car.
Lewis, a retired soldier, was taken to Providence Hospital for first aid treatment and later transferred to Gallinger. He died Sunday of shock and hemorrhage caused by injuries received in the accident. Dr. C. J. Murphy performed an autopsy to determine the cause of death. McDonald was released after the coroner's investigation Tuesday.

WEEK ENDING JULY 13, 1935
A Traffic Hazard
Provincial, perhaps, but timely, true and necessary is this complaint.
Washington has no greater traffic hazard in all its vast domain than that which exists in the heart of one colored section of the city.
There can be no place within the confines of the nation's capital, no intersection, no unguarded crossing, no anything that holds a greater danger of loss of life or limb than Thirteenth Street between Florida Avenue and Logan Circle. Northwest, between the hours of eight and ninethirty a.m. and hours of eight and nine-thirty a.m. and four and six p.m. every day except Sun-
City traffic heads, bent on relieving congestion for the sake of expediting transportation from the residential areas to the downtown regions and vice versa, appear to be commendably conscientious in one respect and woefully indifferent in another.
In their anxiety to speed up vehicular traffic to and from the business center, they have permitted themselves to forget entirely that there is also cross-town traffic and (most important of all) pedestrian life. These latter two should not be left out in the cold to keep abreast of the times as best they can.
Electrically controlled signals, such as the one recently installed at the intersection of Thirteenth and W Streets, placed at strategic positions down the Thirteenth Street one-way lane, would do much toward alleviation of the strain on people trying to cross or drive across the north-south artery.
Speed limits on the thoroughfare are taboo. And it is unreasonable to believe that police are not cognizant of the manner in which motorists literally tear southward of mornings and northward of evenings.
Their own slogan, "Lose a minute and save a life," might be well applied here.
Judge Ralph Given
Whereas the colored citizens of the District of Columbia may have gained a friend in the naming of Ellen K. Raedy to one of the recently vacated Municipal Court judgeships, they have lost one in the departure of Judge Ralph Given from the bench of the Police Court.
One, a woman, yet to prove herself competent and unbiased, is about to take her bow. The other, tried and found wanting in no respect, is about to take his leave.
Miss Raedy's name was forwarded to the Senate Tuesday by President Roosevelt, who would have her succeed Judge Mary O'Toole.
The name of Judge Given was not sent to the Senate. Instead, one Walter J. Casey, youthful attorney, was presented at the Capitol as the chief executive's choice for the Police Court berth.
The new Municipal Court jurist is highly respected by close followers of legal and judicial life, as well as by keen students of human nature. She is expected to show the influence of her racially liberal Roman Catholic faith and of her jovial, kindly, paternal forbear, retired Police Lieutenant Michael J. Raedy.
But in the case of Judge Given, no guesswork is necessary. Behind him are 42 years of law practice, years saturated with impartial dealings and entirely devoid of racial animosity; years crowded with fair-minded dispositions of Negro-involved cases; years in which, as a prosecutor, he met the problems of an erring class most understandingly.
To the unheeded endorsements of the Washington Bar Association and the ignored applause of the alert multitudes we add our humble regrets that there is no encore to his act.
Self-Omnipotent
A 213-foot stature, built in the side of a Roman hill by one hundred loyal subjects who were compelled to use upward of five hundred tons of concrete to reinforce the work of nature in order that the ponderous structure might be held and also to guard against the toils of erosion, has just been completed.
With a head as big as the average American middle-class home, the stature is supposed to represent the esteem in which Premier Benito Mussolini is held in his native land, but which in reality is indicative of the impression Il Duce has made on himself.
History is full of these men whose exalted opinions of themselves have inflicted misery on their kin, shaken the peace of the world and brought untimely ends to their powers or their lives. Napoleon, Nicholas, Wilhelm, to
name a few, got theirs.
Monuments pay tribute to revered ones AFTER they are gone. The 555-foot structure that stands in the center of the Mall of the nation's capital, the Eiffel Tower, London's Leicester Square and Haiti's stone image of L'Ouverture were erected out of admiration, not obedience.
Would the race problem be solved sooner by agitation or by silence? There are two schools of sociological thought which may be called the laissez faire and the meddlesome schools. The former believes, with Herbert Spencer, that social evolution works out its own fulfillment as inevitably as biological evolution and that man meddles with the process only at his peril. On the other hand, reformers in all ages of the world have felt that it was incumbent upon them to bring about social transformation by their own conscious effort. The laissez faire school is basically right and the meddlesome school only so in a secondary sense. The reformer is himself a part of the social evolution although he over-estimates his importance in thinking that he is directing the process of which he forms but an incidental part.
Late Senator Williams of Mississippi used to be fond of speaking of a woodpecker who lit upon a tree at the moment when the wind was about to topple it over, and then exulted boastfully "See how easily I pecked down this tree." We ascribe many of the transforming results in history to the act of the reformer forgetting that unless the reformer appears in the fullness of time, his efforts would be negatory and dead. Had John Brown been hanged thirty years before or after the tragedy at Harpers Ferry he would have died as the fool dieth.
WE SHOULD NOT DISCREDIT
THE REFORMERS
Gemaliel, the teacher of the Apostle Paul, showed wisdom when he refused to be excited at the zealots who rose up ever and anon in Israel. He said, "If they be of God they will succeed, if not they will fail by their own motion." This expresses the deep-seated philosophy of all reforms and reformers. If they be of God, that is, if they be a part of the process of social evolution they will succeed, if no; they must fail.
Slavery was doomed to extinction as the result of the industrial evolution taking place through the latter part of the 17th century. If William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln had never been born this iniquitous institution could not have survived the 19th century, its doom was written in the stars.
But this does not discredit the reformer ngr belittle the part which he played in history or discredit his role in the future. The crisis precipitated by the duel between hand labor and the manufacturing process produced the abolitionist, the Negro was but an incident. The moral pretention in behalf of humanity was the necessary concomitant. The natural process might have required a few more decades, possibly another generation, but the outcome was inevitable.
The serfs in Russia and the slaves in Brazil were emancipated after the American Negro. Although Clarkson and Wilberforce were the moral spokesmen of British emancipation, the Russian serfs had no such moral advocacy, yet the rise of machinery and the slowly ethical sense of the civilized world brought slavery to an end before the close of the 19th century.
The wider extension of machinery and the broadening ethical sense of mankind will banish slavery from this planet before the end of the 20th century with or without the aid of the moral reformer.
REFORMERS ARE MERELY
THE PUPETS OF FATE
But the reformer has his role which he plays as the pippins of history motivated by the unseen and unfelt force as social evolution unfolds itself. I would rather cut off my right hand than disparage William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln who appeared upon the scene in the fullness of time, or at what would now be called the psychological moment. They played well their part, and there the honor lies.
Our present day reformers, the genuine ones, also form a cog in the machinery of social advance. The adjustment of the African and the European constitutes a problem of cosmic proportions. It will not behave accord ing to any hasty formulas which we may devise.
The trouble with the reformer is that he is prone to take himself too seriously, he too often labors under the conceit that God has vouchsafed to him the solution of the race problem which is withholden from ordinary vision. He sees sights and hears sounds, he raves at the heart and froths at the mouth if his fellow men do not take him seriously. The great defect of the reformer is the lack of sense of timeliness.
MEDDLESOME SPIRIT
URGES US ON
The time-server, though often used as a term of reproach, is the only one who ever effectually serves his fellow men. It requires infinite conceit to assume that one can serve his kind beyond his day and generation. If the reformer's efforts are rightly timed, they produce affects far beyond the effort put forth, giving us the semblance of the sublime. This is why the work of the reformer always evokes such loud acclaim. If he misses the time and strikes the iron when it is cold his efforts are not only negatory but harmful. It is undoubtedly true that much of the passionate reform and infallible nostrums which are now relied upon to solve the race problem are retarding rather than advancing the inevitable solution which is sure to come in the fullness of time. Reformers sometime hinder and sometime advance the course of progress. Those of us who are endowed with the meddlesome spirit must needs devise and dabble in solutions of the race problem whether they be advantageous or no. We are caught up in a mesh of circumstances and conditions from which we cannot be released and we find ourselves in the predicament of Rudyard Kippling's Wanderlust.
"For to admire and for to see.
But now I find that I have bitten off more than I can chew in one mouthful. It will require another release to complete my thoughts on the subject.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JULY 13, 1935

Crawford pamphlet is dud at N.A.A.C.P. convention.
To the Editor:
Maybe when the delegates to the 26th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People return to their homes and have the opportunity to read the pamphlet entitled "Who is the NA.A.C.P.?" and generously supplied to them by the Misses Martha Gruening and Helen Boardman they will conclude that they were sadly remiss in failing to take any action on the subject matter of the bold brachure.
But facts are facts and the two big facts are: First, that all those who attended the first big mass meeting received copies of the pamphlet and, Second, that the pamphlet and its subject matter were not discussed officially at any of the conference sessions, and if there were any sub rosa discussions, informal or formal, they escaped your writer.
The pamphlet contained a withering indictment of Walter White, the executive secretary, and Charles Houston and Associate counsel, in the trial of George Crawford, the Virginia man now serving two life sentences in the penitentiary for the murder of two white women.
The few persons who had the opportunity to read the pamphlet before the convention opened expected the issue to be fought out on the floor of the convention. Even Mr. White thought so and when interviewed was undecided as to whether he should bring it up himself although no time had been set aside in the conference program and the delegates would have had to vote to consider it.
As it was, the pamphlet was forgotten about and the selection of the convention city for 1936, instead of the Crawford case, became the most exciting issue of the conference.
Chain-gang horrors confirmed by Heyndon with exhibit
New events are confirming the horrors of the Georgia chain-gang. Simon Minor, Negro who escaped from a chain-gang in Richmond County, Georgia, fourteen years ago, and who was arrested recently in Hemedland, Long Island, has knelt on the stone floor of his cell in police headquarters and prayed to die rather than be sent back. "When you work on a chain-gang in Georgia you work in hell," he told newspapermen. Nevertheless, Governor Lehman ordered his extradition.
I, accompanied by a chain-gang truck, will visit the following cities on tour: July 13, St. Paul, Minn.; July 15, Omaha, Nebraska; July 19-25, California cities; July 29, Denver, Colo. August 1, Kansas City, Mo.; August 2, Kansas City, Kansas; August 3, St. Louis, Mo.; August 5, Indianapolis, Ind.; August 6, Cincinnati, O.; August 7, Dayton, O.; August 8, Columbia, O.; August 9, Toledo, O.; August 10, Derroit Mich.; 12, Cleveland, O.; August 13, Youngstown, O.; August 14, Pittsburgh, Pa.; August 15, Reading, Pa.

Pickens' Observations
MUSSOLINI - INTERNATIONAL
AL CAPONE
With apologies to Al Capone, for Capone took some great risks in opposing the law, while Mussolini, his fellow-countryman takes no risk against the law, but owns and dictates the law.
That is about the only difference between the international hoodlum and the big-city hoodlum. Their morals are about the same. Mussolini does not even pretend to regard any moral right in his relationships with Abyssinia: if he is big enough to take it, that is all that is necessary to be considered. Just like the beer-barons of old Chicago, he tells England and France: "You got yours, and I did not (could not) interfere. Now, I'm going to get mine, and don't you muscle in on my show. To hell with your League of Nations, I'll make my own rules."
Of course, Al Capone never was hypocrite enough to even pretend that he was trying to break up slavery or forward "the cross" or promote any other human good; he was only exploiting human desires and passions. The international hoodlum, while he talks like a barbarian himself, allows his lieutenants to make pretensions of high cultural motives and ot try to appeal to the weakness of so-called Christians.
What a blow this Italian hoodlumism is to the cause of disarmament; one will not have to be a Japanese militarist in order to conclude that the only thing that will keep these white Europeans off you and make them respect you, that can at least rival enemy guns; and that can at least rival their own guns; and that for any nation to be weak in arms while these ballies are armed to the teeth is to commit suicide.
If Ethiopia had a modern fleet and a modernly equipped army, Mussolini would not be so disturbed about African "slaves" nor so much devoted to advancing "the cross." Meanwhile we expect, and devoutly hope, that this hoodlum will have to pay more for his African loot than the loot will ever be worth.
IS SIX ALWAYS A HALF DOZEN?
William, H. Anderson, "general secretary of the American Christian Alliance and director general of Protestant Action," reports that his bunch of Christians want to put through a constitutional amendment to prevent the counting of "aliens" as a basis for a state's representation in Congress, "in order to weaken the political power of Tammany," etc.
What hypocrites some "Christians" are! The worst misrepresentation in the country is the southern representation in Congress based on from three to five million disfranchised American-born citizens. To gain alien votes in Congress and in the election of Presidents is not nearly as great a crime against the spirit of the Constitution as is the stealing of votes from native citizens and still counting their heads as the basis of stolen power in the nation.
An alien in America remains an alien by choice: the Negro is disfranchised by force, by the force of these same "Christians" who would be so righteous as to prevent New York state from having as large representation as its great population calls for.
We need some "Protestant Action" against Alabama and Mississippi, where one white vote can outweight ten to twenty-five white Tam-many votes, because of VIOLATIONS of the Constitution.
We are just caught on the tide of life without power to get to shore, and that's depression.
"Dear ILD Don't Let Them Burn Us" The Story of Rey Wright
To the Editor:
Upon his right cheek, just between his car and his nose, Roy Wright, youngest of the Scottsboro boys but one, bears a scar like a vaccination mark. It is a reminder of the day—now more than four years ago—when he, together with the other Scottsboro boys, was taken off a freight train at Paint Rock, Alabma, by an armed posse. Just before he was locked in the Paint Rock jail, one of the men jabbed a bayonet through his cheek.
That was only the first day of four long years of torment and persecution. Roy was 14 then; now he is 18. far taller than when he entered prison. Between the hell of Kilby Prison and the hell of Jefferson County jail, this boy has grown almost to manhood. In dark, filthy, vermin-infested cells, behind stone wall and steel bars, shut away from sun and air, curated and abused by loud-mouthed jailers, and always, always with the threat of the electric chair over him—in those places Roy has passed his youth.
Hearing in July
the torment is not over. Roy is still in jail, and the State of Alabama continues to demand his electroction. In behalf of Roy and Eugene Williams, also a juvenile at the time of the arrests in Paint Rock, the attorneys for the International Labor Defense, Osmond K. Fraenkel and C. B. Powell, will go into Juvenile Court in Decatur early in July, and plead before Judge B. L. Malone that these two youths be set free. Thomas E. Knight, now lieutenant-governor of Alabama but still prosecutor of the Scottsboro boys, will ask that Judge Malone declare the boys "incorrigible" and send them for trial in adult court. By this devious legal route, the Alabama prosecutors will be able to demand that these children be burnt in the electric chair—in spite of their innocence and their extreme youth.
Roy has had only a few years of schooling in his life. "About three or four years," he says. It is a bit hard to count it up—he went to school so irregularly. The Wright family were among the poorest in Chattanooga. They lived in a small shack, on the banks of the Tennessee River. In 1924, Roy's father had died. His mother, Mrs. Ada Wright, has said: "After my husband's death I was both father and mother to my children. I earned $6 a week. I paid 14 cents a day for carfare, and $2.50 a week for rent, though the house we lived in wasn't worth near that. We had about $2.50 for the whole family to live on."
Left Home with Brother
In March, 1931, Roy's older brother, Andy, begged to be allowed to leave home. He had tried everywhere to find work. He though he might get a job on the river boat in Memphis.
When Andy left, Roy persuaded his mother to let him go too. He was intensely distressed at the thought of separation from Andy, who had been a sort of father to him for seven years. A few weeks later, sitting behind the bars of Jefferson County Jail, separated by stone and steel and a distance of many miles from his brother in Kilby Prison, Roy wrote in his first letter to the International Labor Defense: "Have you all wrote to Andy since he been in Kilby?"
Roy and Andy, together with Eugene Williams and Haywood Patterson—the four boys had been pals for years—went to the Twenty-second Street yards and hopped a freight. They rode on an oil tank car between two box cars.
Two years later, just before the Decatur trial, Roy, sitting in Jefferson County Jail, told New York newspapermen what had happened on that ride.
"Aimed Gune at Our Heads"
"The first I know anything was wrong," he said, "or knew who else was on that train, was when that crowd of white men stopped the train at Paint Rock and took us off. They took us up the railroad bank to a white rock and stood us against it with their guns aimed at our heads.
"One of the white men said to me, 'Come on now, nigger, tell us who pushed those white boys off the train, cause we don't want to punish anybody but the guilty ones. If you tell us which ones did it, we'll tell you others go.' And I told them I didn't know anything about it, and hadn't seen nothing.
"Then one of them said to me, 'You know, nigger, we don't let no darkies hang around here, and if we catch you anywhere near her after, dark we'll shoot you. Now get going.'"
"Andy—that's my brother—Haywood. Eugene and me—we started away. Nobody said nothing until then they called us back and loaded us on a truck tied our hands and feed with hope and carried us to the jail in Southboro.
"At the trial I was sitting in a chair in front of the judge, and one of those girls testifying. One of the deputy sheriffs leaned over to me and asked me if I was going to turn state's evidence, and I said no, because I didn't know anything about the case.
Whipped in Court
"Then the trial stopped awhile and the deputy sheriff beckoned to me to come out into another room—the room back of the place where the judge was sitting—and I went, they whipped me and it seemed like they was going to kill me. All the time they kept saying, 'Now will you tell?' It was on the basis of this story of Roy's that the attorneys of the International Labor Defense tried to get a change of venue to Birmingham for the new trials. The
defense attorneys urged Knight, then A.abama's attorney-general, to summon the troops who were on duty at Scottsboro in 1931, for a line-up to permit Roy to identify the man who had assaulted him. But Knight said that he did not regard the "unsupported word of a Negro prisoner as sufficiently to warrant any such order."
Roy was the only one of the Scottboro boys who was not condemned to die at the first trial. One of the jurors on his case held out for "mercy"—for a sentence of life imprisonment. Perhaps he thought the whole trial would look better that way. Perhaps he was even a bit touched by Roy's evident youth. Anyone could see this was a mere child. Lowell Wakefield, then Southern organizer of the L.L.D. and an observer at the first Scottboro trial wrote. "They were such little kids. The shortest one, Roy Wright, was just 14. Eugene Williams was only 13, but he was a bit taller than Roy."
Mistrial Declared
But eleven of the jurors wanted to see Roy die in the electric chair with the rest of the boys, and they insisted on the death penalty. So a mistrial was declared.
Two weeks later Mrs. Ada Wright went to Kilby Prison, in answer to a pitiful letter from her youngest boy, who begged her to do something for him. The jail officials wouldn't admit her at first, but finally let her in for a grudging ten minutes. She told Roy about the I.L.D., and when she had gone, Roy got pencil and paper, and wrote: "Dear I.L.D., don't let them burn us because our skins is black."
Never until he met the representatives of the LLD, did Roy know that there were white men and women who did not think of him as a "nigger," who considered him an equal. All his life he had lived in a Jim-Crow neighborhood, had gone—occasionally—to a Jim-Crow school, and had ridden behind the "Colored" signs on street cars. When he walked into the court at the first Decatur trial, the defense attorneys rose and shook hands with him. They picked him out from all the boys, because he was the smallest and therefore, perhaps, most in need of the courage it would give him. This simple act of courtesy—the clasp of a hand, from a man to an equal—created consternation and amazement in the courtroom. "Did you see that?" one political hang-on remarked. "They went and shook hands with that nigger!"
Cursed and Abused in Jail
The jail officials have spared Roy nothing. In Jefferson County jail, Warden K. C. Dement mistreated and cursed him. Several times he was put into solitary. But Roy has kept his courage through his four-year-long agony. He knew that outside the fight for his freedom was going on; that his little sister, Lucille, was speaking from platforms all over the country; that his mother was making a historic tour of Europe to put his case and the case of the other boys before the great masses of workers.
For four years now, without having been convicted, without ever having been tried again since the first horrible farce at Decatur, Roy Wright has been held in jail. All efforts of the I-LD, to have bail set for him, and for Eugene Williams, have come up against the stone wall of the cruelty, indifference and hatred of the Alabama authorities.
Probably this week, this child will come once more before the authorities. Together with Eugene Williams, he will be tried in Juvenile Court. The I.L.D. will defend them. Thousands of dollars are needed for that hearing. Roy and Eugene have already passed their youth in jail. Now at last they must be freed. Help free them! Rush funds to the I.L.D. at 80 East 11th Street, New York, Flood Judge B. L. Malone at Decatur, Alabama, with resolutions and telegrams, demanding that he free the two youngest Scottsboro boys.
JIM-CROW
The most detestable, and what ought to be the most detested bird in the world is jim-crow.
It is infinitely lower than the buzzard, and has not a single virtue or resemblance to the carrion-crow. It is nature's greatest monstrosity. Its head is where its secret parts ought to be; its eyes are injured to darkness, and sees nothing in the light because its deeds are always evil. Its long legs are places on its head, and it travels far, but uses neither wisdom nor understanding. Its wings are placed on its stern, farthest from its inward parts, for it flies by the propulsion of its spleen venon, yet feels no bowels of compassion. Its mouth is abnormally large, and its tongue forked, and it makes a noise that has in its sound the voice of an angel and the venom of hell. Its flesh is neither bird nor beast, but only foul of the foulest kind.
Not a creature in the lower kingdom will approach it, much less touch it. Its odor is worse than that of the skunk or pole-cat, and rises as a stench in the nostrils of high heaven.
Shunned by man, beast, fish and fowl, it lived alone in the abyss of the botomless pit, until certain impious persons of the genus homo began to domesticate and propagate it to suit their own nefarious purposes.

Employees who have already received notice of dismissal should immediately get in touch with the Inter-Lodge Transfer Committee Room 529. Washington Loan and Trust Building.
Federal employees will be interested to know that longevity credits will be provided for in the new efficiency rating system instituted by the Civil Service Commission, so that preference will be given for seniority of service, provided of course, that other qualifications are equal. This information was given out in a letter from L. A. Moyer, Chief Examiner of the Commission, in reply to a letter addressed to him by President E. Claude Babcock of the American Federation of Government Employees who brought to his attention a few weeks ago, that provision for seniority credit was urgently needed. Mr. Moyer's letter to Mr. Babcock reads:
"In reply to your letter of May 20th, 1985, concerning the method by which seniority credit will be granted in connection with the new efficiency rating plan when reduction of force are to take place, you are advised that the Commission is now considering the question of what modification of the method established by the Executive order of June 4, 1986 as amended June 16, 1933 will be necessary in order to accomplish a correlation of reduction of force procedure with the new efficiency rating plan.
"The principle of giving credit for length of service in the process of selecting employees for dismissal or reduction, when the staff must be reduced, will be maintained."
For the benefit of employees who are no doubt wondering about the operation of the new adjective efficiency rating as compared with the graphic rating system, the following compilations have been prepared:

The New Negro Alliance has again demonstrated its worth to the city of Washington, by sponsoring a Civil Rights Bill for the District of Columbia. The bill, H.R. 8388 was drafted by William Hastie, assistant administrator and head of the legal staff of the Alliance, was introduced by Congressman Kopplemann, of Connecticut, June 6, 1935, reads as follows:
"To assure all persons within the District full and equal privileges in places of public accommodation, resort, and amusement and for other purposes.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that within the Dritrict of Columbia all persons are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, and privileges of every public conveyance and every place of public accommodation, resort, entertainment, or amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applying alike to all persons.
"No person being the owner, operator, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or employee of any such place shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from, or deny to any person any accommodation, advantage, or privilege thereof or in any way publish or circulate any representation or communication to the effect that any accommodations, advantages or privileges thereof shall be refused, withheld, or denied to any person on account of race, gender, or color.
"Hotels, inns, restaurants, eating houses, public libraries, and amusement parks shall be deemed to be places of public accommodation, resort, entertainment, or amusement, but without in anywise limiting or restricting the meaning of that general phrase by such specific announcement.
"Sec. 2. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of the foregoing section or shall aid or induce the violation of any of said provisions shall for each and every violation thereof be liable to a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $500, to be recovered by the person aggrieved thereby in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia; and shall, also, for every such offense be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in the Police Court of the District of Columbia shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500, or shall be imprisoned not less, than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
"Section 2. This Act may be cited as the "Civil Rights law of the District of Columbia."
If thin bill is enacted into law it means that all interested persons and organizations in the District of Columbia must make known their wishes. Very shortly the New Negro Alliance will bring this matter formerly before all organizations, churches, societies, etc., for appropriate action; then the support from a national angle will be solicited, because, after all it is realized that unless the citizens out in the forty-eight states become sufficiently interested to the extent of letting their Congressmen and Senators know that they are interested in making Washington the Capital of the nation in fact as well as in name, the measure will fail.
The bill is at once a challenge to the visitors who come to Washington from time to time and criticise discrimination and proscription on account of race, and yet return to their several states with no resolve to cooperate with the citizens of Washington who have no vote, in eradicating these un-American practices.
The James Reese Europe Post No. 5, The American Legion gave its unanimous approval to the bill on last Tuesday night, and will ask for approval in the next Department Convention, which concludes Mayflower in August.

3EST NEWS OF THE NATION’S CAPITAL
“Fourth” Activities Steal
Show in Social Whirl
By VIVIAN TURNER
Another July 4 passes into the realm of forgotten memories.
With it go many happy moments—for D.C.’s pleasure seekers and
yacationists have told many yarns concerning their many adventures
over the week-end. Highland Beach, from many reports, though rather
seclusive, was the scene of many colorful beach parties and interesting
house parties; Sparrow's Beach and Carr’s Beach vied with each other
for record-breaking crowds; Benedict had its share of hotiday bathers;
Brinklow Inn, though not offering watering facilities, was taxed to its
capacity—the delicious meals and enticing surroundings being the main
attractions; and last, but not least by any means, Atlantic City was a
national playground, with Washingtonians being represented in large
numbers. The nearby Charles Town, W.Va., was not without its
share of lovers of the racing sport. In all, there was a diversity of
pleasure, according to the desires of the individuals, which were in-
dulged in and thoroughly enjoyed. *
‘On Wednesday evening prior to the fourth, the Kappas sponsored
put into setion and carried a capacity crowd of Washington's elite.
The bost was in charge of Tony Pierce, who took time out from his
grill activities for the event, Frank Davis, who pinch-hits for Bill
Smallwood at times, was on deck quite early for XXX special scoops
for his column next week—‘“did you behave yourself, Charlie ?”—if not,
you're in for it. We're wondering if a recent arrival in town from the
oe City won't be dodging the juvenile authorities after Wednes-
lay’s trip!

BEAUTY HINTS

Wearing the Hair Plain
It is very fashionable to wear the hair plain, that is, brushed back smoothly from the face and behind the ears. The one big point to be remembered in this style of hear dress is to keep the hair glossy. To do this, brush the hair thoroughly each day and rub cocanut oil into the roots twice a week to supply oil for the gloss.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
And she wore her mother's wedding gown. A pretty trick for any bride. But when the gown is a lovely lot of ribbon-and-lace-trimmed chiffon that has lafin for years amid lavender leaves; when the bride who blushingly wears it is dark-eyed and petite and wreathes her raven-locks with orange blossoms; when the—but "Here comes the bride." Here's Sarah Frazier, daughter of Mrs. Eliza Frazier, of 1238 Fairmont Street. Attending the bride was Miss Irma Barbour, a New York school teacher and a picture in frilly yellow chiffon with her arm full of yellow roses tied round with a purple ribbon. The groom. Mr. Julian Irwin and his best man, Mr. Sigmund Hurd, stood waiting with banks of peonies, illies and similas about them. The sweet voice of Mrs. Ruth Martin of New York, rang romantically out to the tune of "Oh, Promise Me" and "Because." J. A. Lankford, the architect (whose wife is related to Sarah) gave the lovely bride away. The Rev. R. W. Brooks read the words that made them man and wife. After the bride had kissed her friends, cut her wedding cake, taken a peep at the many presents she and the happy groom hit the honeymoon trail for New York, with everybody's blessings bearing them company. Among the Fraziers' house guests were Mrs. Wood, nursery teacher in New York and Miss Jones of the New York Y. V. C. A. The only sad looking soul at the wedding was Miss H. A. Washington school teacher whose heart and smiles had followed Richard Reynolds, Jr. (a relative of the bride) on a trip to Little Rock, Ark. Montgomery, Ala., and points in Mississippi and Tennessee.

What's so cool looking as an eyelet dress? And when it's blue and fitted about the body of slim Mrs. Mark Terrell it's a delightful thing to look at.
Just as everybody had begun to believe that there wasn't a thing new in the way of beauty that could find its way to Brookland what with the Taas' place, the William Clark; the Whitteds' the Randolphs' the Weavers', the Carters', the Blacks', the Carrol Brooks' and all the rest) along comes the Carson couple (Dr. and Mrs. Clark) with plans for a sunken garden to glorify the lawn of their soon-to-be-finished home.
Pink-print-clad Mrs. Emory Smith in the shopping district looking cool and very smart despite the heat (No, you're wrong. Pearlie wasn't shopping too. The poor dame, who goes by that name can't even buy a bag to put her busted budget in.)
Well, Mrs. Taylor got out of it. But it took a lot of laws and by-laws to do it. Mrs. H. B. Taylor, wife of the Rev. Taylor of Fifteenth Presbyterian Church, I mean. Every single member of the Ministers' Wives' Intercontinental Council wanted her to continue much longer as president of their organization. But the "book on rules" forbade it making a two-year term the limit. So Mrs. Taylor stepped down and took with her the best wishes of the Council and a pretty cameo besides. Mrs. J. T. Threlkeld became her successor. Mrs. I. L. Lee, the recording secretary, arranged her records neatly and went forth to the meeting prepared to turn her books over. But the members wouldn't let her do it (a secretary can serve a dozen years if she will). They elected Mrs. J. L. Holloman vice president. Mrs. Mayme Henderson, recording secretary and Mrs. Ellison, treasurer. It was their last meeting for the season. And I for one am sorry. Because they have grand times when they meet. I know, for I crashed their gates one day last year and found some of Washington's loveliest women inside. Mrs. R. W. Brooks, Mrs. J. W. Bondrunt, Mrs. G. W. Bullock, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. W. E. D. Jones, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams and many more. And so when they reconvene next winter if they dare to leave their door unbarred, I'll do my best to crash right in again.

The victory came as a culmination of a long, hard fight covering ten years of activity this August 25, according to Mr Randolph, national president of the brotherhood, with M. P. Webster, first vice-president, and Bennie Smith, second vice-president, heard the returns in the Chicago headquarters.
A Signal Victory
"When it is considered that the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters met with a backset in its first appearance before the old mediation board of 1928, failed to secure a favorable decision from the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1928, postponed a strike which was projected in the same year and lost its case in the Federal District Court of Northern Illinois as a result of the decision of Judge Woodard, this overwhelming and sweeping victory is unmistakable and definite testimony of the character and spirit of the Pullman porters who aggressively waged this immortal fight against a corporation upon whose board of directors sit the powerful monarchs of finance in America such as

J. Pierpont Morgan, R. K. Mellon, George F. Baker and others," declared Mr. Randolph. Continuing, he declared: "Despite the fact that the new 'mushroom' union was apparently generously backed by the Pullman Company, the porters who had been underpaid and overworked and made the victims of intimidation and coercion over a period of a half century or more, refused to be bullied or deceived by the rosy promises of the new union."
LONDON WOMEN SUPPORT SCOTTSBORO BOYS
LONDON England. (CNA) -- From the Lewisham Branch of the Women's Guild of Cooperators, the Scottsboro Defense Committee here has received a sum of money to be used in defense of the nine Scottsboro boys. To raise this money, the women organized a draw. The Rochdale Branch of the Guild passed a resolution at its last meeting, calling for the freedom of the nine youths.

DUNBAR GRAD WINS
$200 SCHOLARSHIP
College Alumnae Award Is Given Beatrice Black; No Re-examination
Miss Beatrice Black, Dunbar High School graduate, was announced as winner of the $200 scholarship given by the College Alumnae Association, early last week. Her rating was 80.4 per cent.
The award was given Miss Black after an investigation of cheating charges by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who conducted the examinations several weeks back.
Referring to the decision, Mr. Wilkinson said:
"In as much as Miss Black stood free of any charge or counter-charge of cheating, and her competitors testify that she was too sane to be involved in this sort of dishonesty, and in as much as her scholastic record throughout her entire school career sustained her record in the examinations she was awarded the scholarship."

its convention held recently in St Louis, seeking national support of that organization. It is believed that if the local project is approved, there will be little difficulty in getting national recognition for it. The only visible hitch in the program so far seem, to be the matter of a Negro directing certain phases of the work at a reasonable salary. This group of citizens hopes to have two or more additional projects submitted and approved in order that demand for a Negro on the local administrative staff may be forcibly made. These efforts are rapidly gaining support from leading Negroes and organizations.

to the convention.
4. The organization of separate affiliations.
5. Control of local separate unions by whites while the Negroes are merely figureheads.
6. Differential in pay of whites and Negroes.
Stressing a need for a change of policy among international, national and local unions, Mr. Davis declared that the only reason colored members have been admitted to local unions has been to have them pay dues and to keep cheap labor from the market. Enumerating each type of discrimination listed above, Mr. Davis gave specific examples of each. He charged that general discussions on racial questions can not be discussed on the
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
floor of the American Federation of Labor unions nor in subordinate conferences.
No Scabbing
"I speak with tremendous pride," Mr. Davis stated, "when I say that despite these discrimination Negro workers have not scabbed on union labor." He cited the fact that of 46 labor strike victims, 10 have been Negroes and yet none were members of unions.
Urgging the A.F.L. to end for all time the color bar, to disband separate locals and to give Negroes representation on the Executive Committee, Mr. Davis declared the organization has spoken out against Communism and it should speak out fearlessly against racial discrimination.
Concluding his testimony, Mr. Davis said: "Regardless of what the committee does, I say no sincere, honest leader can or will must Negroes to seab in retaliation. But we may be forced to join with those progressive organizations to oust the A.F.L. affiliates who persist in discrimination to Negro laborers."
Will Send Brief
Charles S. Johnson, head of the Sociology Department at Fisk University, was the second witness. Dr Johnson will submit a brief to the committee on labor conditions in Birmingham, Ala., where he made an investigation recently. Reginald Johnson, National Urban League, secretary, whose organization has conducted a Workers Bureau for 25 years, told the committee of discrimination in Atlanta.-Ga. and on the construction of the Phillips Hospital in St.
Louis Mo. He urged the exclusion of internationals which refused to abide by the spirit of the A.F.L. and the appointment of Negro labor organizers
Situation Here Terrible
Howard Woodson, president of the National Builders Association, a local labor organization, described the horrible plight local union workers are placed in. He charged that they had been refused work on every job with the exception of the construction work at Howard University, and that the employment there was obtained only after Albert D. Cassell, H. U. architect had insisted that colored labor be used. He charged that the colored workers were fired on the first provocation "no matter how competent they were."
"Conditions in Washington are worse than they are in the South and North." Woodson declared, "as the wild workers won't let colored laborers in the locals and won't work on mixed jobs."
James G. Patterson, brother of Dr. Frederick D. Patterson, head of Tuskegee Institute, told the Committee the story of his refusal at the local carpenters' union and how he finally joined an Alexandria, Va. union. Patterson who is working at present but not as a union worker declared that his membership had been a "total loss." Those who testified at the afternoon session were Robert A. Duncan, carpenter; Dr. Robert C. Weaver, Attorney Charles H. Houston, Professor Ralph Bunche, and A. Phillin Randolph.

cutor, judge and jury" in the trial of Mr. Mackintosh.
Mr. Ickes said he had sent a letter to Senator Tydings, objecting to the conduct of the investigation. Mr. Tydings refused for the time being to make the letter public.
In reply to questions, Secretary Ickes said that the "trouble-makers" in the islands were "domestic." They had been active in the islands for some time prior to the Roosevelt administration, he said but a crisis was reached only recently.
Used Bench to Incite
"Judge Wilson fined George S. Robinson, our government attorney, for contempt because he didn't appear on a case which wasn't on the docket," said Mr. Ickes. He also charged that Judge Wilson used the bench to incite "the mob."
At the committee hearing Tuesday, Paul C. Yates, former executive assistant to Governor Pearson, testified that the latter had proposed to have a native appointed as correspondent for a New York newspaper, with the understanding that Mr. Yates would write the dispatches and the native's signature only would be used.
Would Control Opinion
Mr. Yates said that Governor Pearson proposed in that manner to "control public opinion."
Mr. Yates said that Governor Pearson told him that an editor of the Emancipator, of St. Thomas, named Reynolds, was tired of working on the paper and wanted a government job, even if it paid only $1 a day. The paper was outspokenly critical of the governor.
"I am not averse to buying a man off, if it can be done discreetly." Governor Pearson said to him. Yates testified. He added that he declined to approach M. Reynolds.
Appointment of Ernest L. Gruening as director of the division of territories and island possessions of the Interior Department was highly pleasing to Governor Pearson. Mr. Yates said. He quoted the governor as having said at the time that the appointment had been arranged by his son, Drew Pearson. a Washington newspaper, man and son of the governor.
Tried to Use AAA
Mr. Yates described how Governor Pearson wanted to get financial help for the islands from cotton benefits under the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
When Mr. Yates pointed out to him that because of a boll weevil quarantine, the islands had been under a cotton embargo for many years, Governor Pearson directed him to prepare an estimate of how much cotton could be grown in the Virgin Islands if it were permitted to be grovn, according to the testimony.

Pearson Assistant Asserts Governor Admitted Indiscretions
The ousting of Judge T. Weber Wilson as United States district judge in the Virgin Islands for "judicial misconduct" was demanded by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes last Tuesday. At a press conference, Mr. Ickes declared that Judge Wilson's actions were "bringing the administration of American justice into disrepute in the islands." Mr. Ickes also assailed the Senate inquiry into the administration of Gov. Paul M. Pearson, of the islands. He complained of the manner in which the special Senate committee was preceeding. He said he had not yet had a chance to testify or to cross-examine witnesses.
Opinion Divided
During the hearings on Tuesday, Senato, Milard E. Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, chairman of the committee conducting the investigation, said he had "seen nothing regarding the Virgin Islands to reflect on Judge Wilson, but many things that reflect on other people." Judge Wilson is a former member of Congress from Mississippi.

Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, announced that it is almost unheard of for a foundation established by a single individual to receive gifts or bequests from others. It is the more remarkable in this case, since Mr. Troy never communicated with anyone in the Fund.
"We assume this gift was made because Mr. Troy knew and approved of our southern school work," Mr. Embree said. "In recognition of his unusual expression of confidence we will expand and enrich the program which we believe attracted his interest."

In commenting on their actions, the commissioners stated that they were only following the decision of the Supreme Court in the Scottsboro case.

A coroner's jury, Monday, cleared Wilbur Clifford 12. of 1773 Willard Street, Northwest, of blame in the death of Mrs. Katie Evans, 54 years old, 1504 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. The aged woman was struck by a bicycle ridden by the youth. About dusk on June 15, at the intersection of Fifteenth and S Streets, Northwest. She was taken to her home by Chas Penny, a bystander, apparently unhurt.
Becomes Affected
On June 20 she developed a pain in her side; a few days later upon the advice of her physician, Dr. Carroll Brooks, she was admitted to Gallinger Hospital. Mrs Evans died on June 27 from an infected hip and internal disorders. Testimony was to the affect that the accident occurred when Clifford swerved his bicycle backward at the same time that the victim stepped backward. Traffic lights for north-south-hound traffic were "go" when the accident occurred. The lad, it was asserted, was progressing in accordance with the signal.

This interest was invoked by the declaration on the part of the governor that the agitation in the conduct of the affairs of the Islands was caused by a colored numbers king of Harlem. It is thought he refers to Casper Holstein, Elk leader.
A Native. He Claims
This governor who is charged with maladministration, misuse of funds and gross neglect in the discharge of his duties, has threatened to name the "numbers king," reputed to be a native of the Islands, who is now living in Harlem.
Just what this Harlemite has done to cause agitation on the Islands does not interest those following the developments in the investigation as much as who the man can be. Speculation as to the identity of the agitator is rife and those interested in the investigation are waiting anxiously for Governor Person's threatened expose.

Investigators Hold to Belief that Slayer Was Justified
Although testimony to support such *a* theory is lacking, a coroner's jury apparently held to the belief that Robert Watts, 24, 470 N Street, Northwest, was the victim of an "honor slaying," following an inquiry at the District Morgue, Wednesday. The killing occurred Monday. Watts was stabbed in the neck with a knife hurled at him by an attractive young woman, Miss Erleen Bell Moore. 55 Hanover Street, either as he attempted to harass her or as the girl sought escape from an attempt on her life. The jury, convinced of this, freed the girl, returning a verdict of justifiable homicide.
Sav Watts at Fault
Only two witnesses beside police and medical authorities testified. Neither of them was an eyewitness to the crime, but both opined that Watts was the aggressor in the altercation that resulted in his death.
Their story was to the effect that the man and girl had gone to 33 I Street, Northeast, where they visited a short time with Mrs. Annie Henry of that address. Mrs. Henry was one of the to witnesses summoned by police.
She and Mrs. Mamie Stewart. 31 I Street, Northeast, the other witness, declared that just prior to the fatal stabbing Watts had come out of the house holding in hi-hand a dress and piece of underwear belonging to the girl.
Describe Affair
Pieced together, in story offers something of the following nature: During the visit, Watts, after 'a few beers' with the two women offered to pay Mrs. Henry to be permitted to "lay across the bed," and then urged her to go out to the store and "get something to eat" for them. It was on her return from the store, Mrs. Henry declared, that Watts was seen with the Moore girl's clothing, siee and Mrs. Stewart told inquirers that during the ensuing argument, Watts threatened to cut the defendant's "g...d..." throat. Miss Moore exercised her Constitutional right by refusing to take the stand in her own defense. Her statement of admission, made to police, after her arrest, was given to the jury for consideration.
