Last week, Mrs. Roosevelt's honored guest was forced to dress herself in a maid's attire in order to travel with white friends in a Pullman car in Texas. Before agreeing to wear the uniform of a maid, Mrs. Brown had been humiliated by being yanked out of a berth at one-thirty in the morning, under threat of arrest and forced into a second-class coach Hear S Wife Says Husband Fails to Support Her and Baby Avery Williams, 2819 Eleventh Street, Northwest, demanded a jury trial Tuesday, when he appeared in Juvenile Court, presided over by Judge Fay L.

BROWN Sam La TEACHER'S DISMISSAL ASKED Washington Tribune D.C. LAWYER COMMITS SUICIDE Despite the fact that Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes has repeatedly expressed confidence in the administration of Howard University, and refused to seek the dismissal of certain administrative officers even after its recommendation by his own investigators, aged Kelly Miller continues to flood the office of the Interior Secretary with propaganda seeking the removal of Howard's president. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson. The maneuvers of those who seek the removal of Dr. Johnson are cunning to say the least. Secretary Ickes has challenged all those who are dissatisfied with the present administration at Howard to lay their cards on the table, face up, and back them with definite facts instead of dealing in sheer generalities. Realizing that they could make no headway by appealing to Secretary Ickes themselves, those who would seek to destroy Howard University have made many attempts to have members of the United States Congress lend a hand in perfecting their selfish aims. It remained for Senator Millard Tydings, of Baltimore Md., to permit these childish grown-ups to use him to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. Senator Tydings may be sincere in his efforts. He may believe that what Kelly Miller and others have told him about the Howard administration is true, and that he is doing the Negro race, and American taxpayers as well. a great good. No one will doubt that Senator Tydings was also influenced by a Baltimore newspaper whose attacks on the Howard administration has created for Dr. Johnson many friends of both races. This columnist would inform Senator Tydings and any other influential person, who may be used by the disgruntled to pull their chestnuts from the fire. at neither Kelly Miller nor his cohorts are representing the opinion of the Negro race when they seek to harrass the administration of Howard University. Under guise of an interested alumnus of the university, Kelly Miller is gradually breeding down the morale of the student body; is prevailing many parents from sending their children to Howard; is destroying the activities of the alumni of the school, and is doing the Negro race an unforcible blem that should haunt him, even to his grave. That Howard University always has been and still is the capstone of Negro education is an undisputable fact. No one will question the assertion that Howard University has made more randi strides under the leadership of its present administration than it has under previous administration, all of whom were white. Dr. Johnson has well demonstrated to all and sundry that a Negro is fully capable of running Negro institutions, and as far as Howard University is concerned, he has proved that a Negro can run it better, than a white man. Certainly Dr. Johnson is a Baptist minister, and a good one at that. If the manner in which Howard University has been run is to be attributed to the fact that its president is a Baptist minister, as Kelly Miller would put it, it certainly reflects credit on the Baptist ministry. If such is true, this columnist wishes that we had more Baptist ministers. When the present investigation (See AS IT SEEMS, Page 2) 1920 MRS. C. E.

He refused to comment on the general opinion prevailing here that the State would seek to bar Negroes from actually serving on Alabama juries. Yates Pleads Guilty to Assaulting Cops Again the difficulty of prosecuting police brutality cases was demonstrated in police court Tuesday morning, when Paul Yates, 18 year old CCC worker, 267 Seventeenth Street, Southeast, entered a plea of guilty to disorderly conduct charges and assault upon a police officer and Judge Gus A. Schuldt took his personal bond. Thurman L. Dodson, attorney for Yates, refused to comment upon the case when asked whether he had advised Yates to make the plea of guilty. However, Mr. Dodson had previously announced that police brutality charges would be pressed against the arresting officers, whom Yates alleged beat him. Yates was charged with assault upon Officer T. Smithson, white, of the Fifth Precinct, after his arrest on August 7 following a skirmish with arresting officers. Yates's mother, Mrs. Ella Yates, was allegedly struck and kicked down by officers who made the arrest, following a report to police headquarters that a prisoner was being rescued from officers by friends. The mother and son both received treatment at a hospital, and daily papers played up the heroism of the white police-men in "subduing" the boy. SAYS PRISONERS' FOOD IS TOO HIGH WILSON, N. C. (ANP) — If the plan of Sheriff W. A. Weatersby goes into effect, prisoners on the county chain gang will be fed for 30 cents a day. The sheriff opined test 55 cents. the prrestest cost per prisoner per diem, was too much, especially when an investigation of the food given them showed that it only cost about 12 cents a day.

Mr. Conn is a graduate or Dunbar High School and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Conn, of Eleventh and T Streets, Northwest. He graduated in law from the University of Michigan at which time he took over the law office of his deceased uncle, Attortorney Albertus Brown. Attorney Conn has been practicing law in Ohio since 1929. He is the first Negro to receive such an appointment and his office will be the first to employ a colored girl as clerk. Mrs. Edna B. Monroe Leaves $7,000 Estate In a petition filed Tuesday in the District Supreme Court for letters of administration. James E. Monroe, 1800 Eleventh Street, Northwest, told the probate court that his wife, Mrs. Edna Bowie Monroe, who died at Freedmen's Hospital on Labor Day, left no will and asked that he be appointed administrator of the $7,000 estate left by his wife. According to the petition filed by Monroe, a diligent search has been conducted to find a will but to no avail. Mrs. Monroe left only one heir at law, William N. Bowie, a brother, who is now in San Quentin, California. Became Despondent When His Home Was Sold; Wife Was Seeking Place to Live GRADUATED FROM Despondent because his home at 1023 Lamont Street, Northwest, was sold over his head. Roy Hughes, prominent local attorney, committed suicide last Sunday night by turning on the gas in his kitchen and allowing himself to become asphyxiated. Mrs. Hughes, who had been away from the house, returned home at 11:30 Sunday night and found her husband's body on the floor of the kitchen. A note which he had scribbled before turning on the gas was laying nearby. **Leaves Note** The note stated that he had "reached the end of the rope," and requested that there be no funeral, no services, no flowers. It further asked that the body be cremated and the ashes thrown away. Hughes, who had been practicing here for the past 38 years, was at one time among the most successful attorneys in the District. Years ago he was associated with the late Perry W. Frisby, with offices at 609 F Street, Northwest.

WILSON IS BLAMED AS LOUIS SUES Witnesses Tell Tribune Elk Ruler Actually Made Verbal Agreement Benjamin L. Gaskins, counsel for J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, and John T. Rhines, commissioner of athletics, made the following statement today: "I freely concede that Joe Louis is entitled to $22_{1/2}$ per cent of the net proceeds of the boxing bout staged at Griffith Stadium on August 27, as he claims, and that it is to come out of my clients' share. In other words, we are to split with him 50-50." Responsibility for payment of a 22½ per cent of the $6,708 profit shown by a recent boxing show was laid directly at the feet of J.

Southwest. Interment was held at the Harmony Cemetery. The Rev. Richards, formerly pastor of the Rehoboth Baptist Church and pastor emeritus of the Second Baptist Church, died Saturday at his late residence, 1242-a Half Street. Southwest, after a lingering illness. A native of Cutpepper, Virginia, the Rev. Mr. Richards came to Washington at an early age. He pastored the Rehoboth Church for a period of 26 years from 1895, when the congregation split, half remaining at the old First Street edifice, the others organizing the Second Baptist Church which he pastored until his health failed him. Since his first attack of illness, he has served the latter church as pastor emeritus. He was a member of the old school of Baptists. The main eulogy at the final rites was given by the Rev. W. A.

Green L. Prince, president of the National Baptist Convention and pastor of the Avenue L Baptist Church of Galveston, Texas, in his final message to the 5,000 delegates who attended the fifty-fifth annual session of the body here last week strongly urged ministers of the Baptist faith "to so plainly make known the real truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ that even the smallest child might have the true knowledge of their Savior." Taking as his subject, "The Basic Facts of Christianity," the Rev. Dr. Prince delivered the message at the morning service of the Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday. So crowded was the church auditorium that over 600 members of the congregation were forced to listen to the address by means of the public address system installed in the church basement. Give True Knowledge "I am afraid, my brethren, that you are not trying to make people understand the real Gospel of Jesus Christ. You are appealing to the emotions of the people and letting them die of thirst for true knowledge," the Texas minister declared. Continuing the Rev. Dr. Prince said, "Before the people can get the real truth, there must be unity among you brethren. The first basic fact upon which Christianity was founded is God Is Man!" If you preach anything else you are wrong, brethren. Too many people in the pulpit are trying to use their intellect instead of preaching the Gospel. Flays Ministers "The people in the church are depending too much on themselves. Out ministers are drinking, our deacons are living uncle lives, and laymine cannot be trusted in homes. They are doing the same things the people in the world are doing. There is no power in the pulpit, no power on the deacon boards, and no power among our laymen." "What we need is more of 'God In Man' throughout the Baptist church. The deacons need it. The trastees need it. Our ministers need more of the Comfortter. They need more of Jesus Christ in the pulpit," the Rev. Dr. Prince concluded dramatically. Others who spoke were the Reverends S. A. Prince and Garret A. Prince. brothers of the president. Special music was rendered by the augmented choir of the Metropolitan Baptist Church and a Jubilee Convention Chorus under the direction of Dr. H. B. P. Johnson of Chicago with Miss Ruth Jeffergon at the piano. DR. ABNER LAID TO LEST DENVER, Colo. (ANF) — Following private funeral services, held at his residence and attended by some 35 close friends, Dr. E. W. D. Abser, prominent fraternal leader and former head of the American Woodmen, who was slain here last week by Miss Eleanor Smith, was laid to rest here Saturday afternoon. --- Card of Thanks MONROE, EDNA B.—I gratefully acknowledge and thank my many relatives and friends for the beautiful flowers and expressions of sympathy at the sudden death of my beloved wife, Edna Bowie Monroe—JAMES E. MONROE. JACKSON, Miss. (ANP)—A big fight looms for the delegates who are attending the National Convention of the Christian church in the selecting of a president to head the Negro contingent of the Christian church which was led by the late Dr. Preston Taylor, of Nashville for many years. That there is serious trouble in store was voiced by a large group of delegates who are opposing the candidacy of the Rev. L. H. Crawford, present vice president and pastor of a church in Kansas City, whose activity is known to be back of newspaper announcements that he was being seriously considered for the leadership of the Christian church, being the second vice president at the present time. Those opposing Crawford claims he is not the proper person to be president due to having had an unsavory record in half a dozen cities. Fogs Object to Politics Crawford has been too active in politics, so say his critics, around Kansas City and that has brought him into disrepute among the best thinking element of his denomination ADVENTISTS OWN $100,000 PLANT IN CHICAGO CHICAGO (ANP)—The recently announced expansion program of the Shiloh Seventh-Day Adventist Tabernacle Church, Chicago, calls to mind the prominent example of community service offered by that institution during the four and one-half year pastorate of its present minister, the Rev. Owen A. Troy. From small beginnings a few years ago, the congregation has grown to its present large formation, and has acquired the $100,000 debt-free building which it now occupies at Forty-sixth and St. Lawrence Streets. It is the largest Adventist church in the state of Illinois, colored or white, and one of the most completely equipped churches of the entire denomination. Established Clinic in 1932 Foremost among the community projects which it has fostered is a clinic, established in 1932, offering medical and dental service. It is fitted with equipment after the order of that made famous by the great Battle Creek Sanitarium, and already more than 10,000 persons have received treatment at the hands of its doctors and nurses. The present staff includes: Drs. H. H. Beguesse, L. B. Morrison, Roosevelt Brooks, Sarah Nunez, physicists; Dr. P. V. Campbell, dentist, and Ruth Frazier and Frances Barry, registered nurses The church also operates a twelve-grade parochial school, employing seven teachers. It has recently secured the services of Arna Bontemps as principal for the year 1935-1936. There is a print shop connected with the school, teaching printing as a vocational subject to high school students and doing commercial work as well. A branch of the Illinois book and Bible house is located in the building and managed by employees of the church. Mission Stations in Ethiopia In addition to its expansion program and its regular local endeavors, the church is actively interested in foreign missions, contributing over $5,000 a year to the world-wide work of its denomination. Included in this work are the five mission stations in Ethiopia and the new five-unit hospital there, the personal gift of His Majesty Haile Selasse I, at which several members of the royal family have at one time or another received treatment. The church supports three native workers in Africa through its investment funds alone. At the moment it is co-operating with the two hundred odd colored churches of its kind in the annual campaign for the support of this work known as the harvest ingathering for missions. Dr. H. E. Ford, X-ray specialist, of Hinsdale Sanitarium, Hinsdale, Ill., and secretary of the board of that institution, is chairman of the financial board of the Shiloh Tabernacle. He says, announcing the expansion program, that the church now needs a new three-story annex building added for a medical unit, recreational halls, additional classrooms and added space for the growing community interests of the Shiloh membership. Evangelistic Group Holds Outdoor Church Service The Evangelistic Committee of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third Baptist Church held an outdoor meeting Sunday in Neal Place, Northwest. Services will be conducted in Brooks Court, located between O and P. Second and Third Streets, Northwest, Sunday evening. Walter Barringer is chairman of the Society Evangelistic Committee. Some girls think that the only thing for them to do, observes Jake O'Malley, when a fellow gets too sentimental, is to sit on him. Crawford's opponents say he was in line to get appointment to an important position as trustee of the State Industrial Department in one of the Kansas institutions, but his record was bared to Governor Alf M. Landon and that when faced with these records, the Governor backed down and would not appoint Crawford. His opponents are asking can the Christian church, in its National Convention, afford to elect Crawford to the presidency when he has been refused appointment to a political job. Several other men are being prominently mentioned for the presidency of the National Convention of the Christian church, but many are viewing Crawford's candidacy as formidable as he is called "a shrewd politician," and must be watched; otherwise, they say, "he'll get the presidency while the church sleeps." Many of those who commented feared to give their names and soon shied off when effort was made to establish their identity. The sessions began here Monday, August 23, and will end Sunday, September 1. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR A COLUMN FOR YOUNG PEOPLE By CLARENCE REED WHO ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE? Inter-Racial Animosities Today Acts 10:28-35 Worship Program Instrumental Prelude: "God of the Nations." Hymn: "Christ for the World We Sing." Prayer: emphasizing not "My Father" but "Our Father who art in heaven." Scripture: Acts 10:28-35. Hymn: "Oh Zion, Haste." Poem: "Make Way for Brother- hood." Of all things beautiful and good, The kingliest is brotherhood; And travel downward to the dust of graves. Clear the way, then, clear the way. Blind kings and creeds have had their day. Break the dead branches from the path: Our hope is in the aftermath. This event the ages ran: Make way for brotherhood...make way for man. —(Edwin Markham). Speaker: "Interracial animosities today." Hymn: "We've a Story to Tell to the Nations." "And herein lies the tragedy of the age, not that men are poor, all men know poverty; not that men are wicked, who is good? not that men are ignorant, what is truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men." Whom has God chosen? The Jews have believed for thousands of years that God chose them to be His own special people. As, indeed. He did. The ideal of the one, eternal, universal God was the precious heritage which the Jews kept alive for the benefit of the whole world. But were these tenacious people God's only chosen ones? Jesus was a Jew...yet He asked the Samaritan woman for water. Did God choose the white man rather than the brown? "The white man's burden," we hear the poet sighing over (a little proudly, it must be confessee!) What does this mean? that the white man is the appointed overlord of all other races? Or perhaps that like the bulldog, once having taken hold in the cast, he cannot or will not let go! The answer to all these questions lies in the life of Jesus. Who were Folks 'n' Facts Mrs. Mary Mason Jones (Union Wesley) has returned to the city after attending the National School Teachers' Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Among those persons present at the World's Christian Endeavor Echo meeting, Friday, were several members from the District of Columbia (whit+) Christian Endeavor Union. They were: Miss Frances Sangster, president; Hillman Harris, vice-president; Mrs. L. C. Greene, Intermediate superintendent; Frank M. McGeary, president of conference, and Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Crain. Glad to see you folks! Come to see us again! Miss Lannie R. Smith (Third Baptist) is home again after attending the National Teachers' Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Miss Smith was a delegate to the conference. Canada, the land of Dr. Francis E. Clark's birth, suggested that we annually observe Founder's Recognition Day. This is an excellent plan. It has been made a part of the World's Christian Endeavor program. All local societies should hear this in mind when making up their programs and try to make this Sunday, September 15, outstanding in spirit and attendance. Miss Louise Pinkett (Nineteenth Street) and Timothy Ward (Shiloh) enjoyed each other's company at the home-coming banquet at Third Baptist Church on Friday night. Miss Armalee R. Harris (Galbraith), looked charming in her new fall attire at the same banquet. Elphonzo W. Freeman (Third Baptist), is going to make an excellent Homer Rodeheaver—or would you say Robert Lyons? Both are famous Christian Endeavor choristers. Mrs. Lilly Mickens (Nineteenth Street) accompanied by her 35th International C.E. delegate, made a very graceful entrance to the banquet on Friday night. From Miss Rozell Stranh, editor of "The Sling Shot," the official organ of the Omaha, Neb. C.E. Union, comes an excellent snap shot of the Omaha, Nebraska delegation to the 35th International C.E. convention. Glad to hear from you, Nebrasky! Continuing his good work, J. Finley Wilson, of the Antlered Herd, was one of the first to respond to the appeal of the Rev. Green L. Prince (National Baptist president) for funds at Metropolitan Baptist Church on Sunday morning. Just like an Elk! They are never deaf to a "Worthy Cause!" Orchids to the Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, the Rev. George O. Bullock, the Rev. Earl L. Harrison, the Rev. Mr. Smith (Metropolitan Baptist), the Rev. J. L. S. Holloman and all the others who were so nice in their efforts to help Tabernacle Baptist Church entertain the 55th National Baptist (Unincorporated) Convention in such a grand style. It was a fine gesture! James Brown, the distinguished president of our Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union, made a wonderful report of the World's Christian Endeavor Convention which met in Budapest, Hungary, last month. You absent Endeavors certainly missed a treat. The banquet was a grand success. On the Budapest committee who sponsored the affair were: Miss Elsie Gray, Mrs. Eva Gibson, Mrs. Mary F. Brown and Elphonza W. Freeman. The 35th International Christian Endeavor Convention Echo meeting of Third Baptist Christian Endeavor Society will be held on Sunday, September 22, at 6:30 p.m. Mrs. Viola Gathe, chairman of the program committee, cordially invites all of you Endeavors to attend this meeting. And now to the ladies of Washington and vicinity: August and September have been strenuous months for you. What, with the Shriners, the Elks, the Good Samaritans, the National Catholic Body and the 55th National Baptist (Unincorporated) Conventions. You have more than lived up to your reputation as incompatible hostesses. We all are proud of you. You are excellent and are justly entitled to a vocation. Until next week—good bye. (Discussion Helps) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1935 His chosen ones? "I came to save that which was lost..." Publicans, sinners, outcasts of Samaria ...these were His friends. What a kingdom for the Son of the eternal God! Fishermen, tax collectors, a doctor...these were some of His twelve disciples. A strange group they were. Yet they had one thing in common...Jesus chose the folks who needed Him most. The insignia of the Kingdom of Heaven are branded on the heart...not the skin. All men are brothers who march beneath His Banner of Love. Should America Fear Japan? We hear a great deal these days about "the yellow peril." Great subsidies are granted for our navy on the plea of "war in the Pacific." Whispers and thunderings about war between United States and Japan are abroad. We say that we want peace...and yet we fear war. And in order to prevent war, we paraded the biggest navy that the world has ever seen collected in one place just off the coast of Japan! The facts of the case are these; the white man taught the yellow man to use guns. He taught him that bullying was the way to get what you want. And now the white man is surprised that the little bully he trained has grown into a great big bully! Peace between two great sovereign nations will never be permanent so long as we wave guns at each other. Program Suggestions If you live in a community where there are any young people of other races or nationalities, invite them in for the evenings. Have them sing their songs and tell their aspirations. You tell them yours! You'll find them very much alike. End by forming an endless circle, hand in hand about the room and sing together, "Blest by the tie that bindss our hearts in Christian love." Then say together, "Our Father, who are in heaven...Amen." Founder's Recognition Day This day, September 15, is being observed by societies all over the land as a recognition of the life and work of Dr. Francis E. Clark, founder of Christian Endeavor. A special program has been prepared, full of many notable and interesting things, and it will be sent free to any society requesting it. It is designed either for the Christian Endeavor meeting hour or for the evening church service conducted by the young people. Address, International Society of Christian Endeavor, 41 Mt.

Let me run the gamut over; Let me fight and love and laugh, And when I'm beneath the clover, Let this be my epitaph; Here lies one who took chances In the busy world of men, Battled luck and circumstances, Fought and fell and fought again. Won sometimes, but did no crowing, Lost sometimes, but did not wail, Took his beating, kept on going, Never let his courgege fail. He was falible and human. Therefore loved and understood Both his fellowmen and women, Whether good or not so good, Kept his spirits undiminished; Never false to any friend; Played the game until it finished; Lived a sportman to the end.

Billy hails from Pittsburgh, Pa., and is a product of the Armstrong High School of this city. Last week he appeared at the Howard Theatre, from which he rose to fame after participating in several amateur programs staged there a few years ago. He was recently married to the ever-popular member of the younger set, Miss Doris Dudley. Here's to his future success on the stage as well as in later life! The Whole Town's Talking! I went to a "bush hop" given by Lillian Prince on Fenwick Street in Ivy City, Friday night. A large crowd occupied one room, but the music was supplied by an ancient piece of mahogany; in other words, a Victrola. This novel dance even had an announcer, in the person of James Coaps, of Montello Avenue. Several young ladies noted the scribe was present and, as usual, they started to buzzing like bees. However, the dance—or whatever you call it—was ended at 11:10 p.m., just when time was getting good. Nuf sed!...Strolling around the corner, I noticed Dorothy Jefferson and her bunch of dancers standing on a corner waiting for a ride to their homes in Georgetown. Too bad to be ditched out in such an isolated place on a cool night. They finally got a break and were driven home. Tit for Tat Looking in on the Masonic Temple Friday, I noticed that Harriet Caves tried to crash the big lights in company with a delivery boy by the name of Harry Coleman.... Peyton Day played the role of hero when two dames sparred together, with George Bailey as referee.... In a self-made truckin' contest, Rip Lucas won by a head.... Pete Ellis put on a live lush act and scared many a young coed.... After leaving the Masonic Temple, I passed First and L and noticed that Mattie D. had the ruling hand around that vicinity. That miss is too much for the local girl!..... Elsie Williams is a stoogie for the position of queen, and may ruin Mattie's place. Nuf sed!.... Nellie Lamb, who recently changed the last part to Wright, served her guests with lush and string beans at a reception recently. My, O my! I notice that the same George Jackson passes a certain fish house down west so that we can get a whiff of baked beans before going to work.

Dot, how is the young man down southwest? . . . louise Miller was seen trucking across the floor to the tune of I. . . Millance's orchestra at the Southbank Gardens Labor Day dance. No wonder she arrived home late after the dance... I wonder what has become of Gigs Mayfield for the last few months? He doesn't stick out with the Ivy City boys any more. Jefferson Humphries is trying to be regular like the rest of the boys in Ivy City these nights. I wonder how he has just caught on to the game. Eh, what? . . Garrett O'Bryant has fallen in love with a certain young lady on W Street since he left the old homestead over east Geraldine Kitchen of Q Street has become the latest applicant for the amateur tennis championship. Since the young miss became owner of a new tennis racket, the nimble young girl finds time to swing with it. Personally, I advise her to have a practice tennis court constructed in her backyard before she starts to visit a regular court. .Snooky Reds will have a fight the 15th or the 3rd of October.

Take it easy, pal! I looked in again on the Capital City Grill and noticed three charming young misses cazing seriously at the many patrons who visit Preston's place of abode. They were none other than Misses Bessie Wailer (who claims to be to斗 Fats), Ethel Holmes and Maude Williams. These young girls had a large table, and were laughing and joking with their host, James Carter, who carries a smile for everyone. Of course, ye old scribe had to be introduced, but the reception was out. (My jeans were nearly empty. Latch on?)...I was wondering why a certain young man on the east side can dish out dirt and can't take it. This refers to B. of G Street.

Officer Says Man Attempted to Attack Him COLUMBIA, S. C. (By ANP) — That he shot and wounded John Swygert, 40, when he attempted to stab him to avoid arrest for reckless driving, was the report of Policeman J. T. Rose, here Tuesday morning, when he brought the wounded prisoner to the local jail. Ross declared that he spotted Swygert driving recklessly in the Forrest Hill section and gave chase, catching him a few miles down the highway. When the officer approached the car, Swygert is alleged to have jumped out with a drawn knife and advanced toward the officer. Fearing that he would be killed, Stone said he shot, wounding Swygert slightly in the left leg.

Dear "Wiggies": I decided to go on and bat out this stuff for I have failed to see you for a week. What's the use of drinking? You can't remedy the cause that way. You and Freddie Douglass were seen coming out of the Capital Pleasure Club as "stewed" as the well known prunes. But really, I'm sorry to learn of the dual operations in your family. The wife in one hospital and Wiggles, Jr. in another and a letter here waiting, from the Harlem Players management that requests your presence at a rehearsal before Saturday. Now boy, that is tough. Just to think that you've waited this long for this letter and now you must be in D.C. Oh well, "Brother, just laugh it off"—But seriously, I do regret all this and to prove it I'll do this column for you. First, the mail man brings a missive from "Chick" Webb saying that he insists that you be the guest conductor of his department next week but I pity it if you are then, as you are now. Oh well, more work for me. Keep on and I'll be the columnist. You? My boy, Friday. Snap out of it, the wife and Junior are not as worried about their operations as you are. Oh yes, this is an Orchid column, so here goes. First to you for managing to get some consideration from the Harlem Players, a miracle, my boy, 's fire. Orchids to the Jackson Brothers, Ralph and Clif who have begun to study the gridiron rules. The boys are forming one of the greatest elevers the District has ever seen on the sandlot. Many victories to you fellows. Oh yes, Velma Buckner wants to know why Wiggles, Jr. wasn't at her little girl's party, Friday. Maybe she can tell after reading this attempt at saving your job,—our jobs, Tee Hee. If you could stay in the city long enough 'n stay sober while you're here you might be able to pay your respects where and when they're due—also your debts. I'm reminded—Buddy Hubert and Lin Mordecki want their two berries, each. And paying respects calls for card or telegram or sometimes' to the Grillo Brothers, brother Ralph died. Was a classmate of yours, wasn't he? —ya wanna watch yourself—you're losing your hold, no more calls Logan Circleward, you're branded, didn't you know?—Three pals in glue are Dorothy Logan, Peggy Oger and Dorothy Springs, just like leeches. Yes?—Yes. Whew, Another Orchid Orchids to the Pete Moss Orchestra. The critics have moved the boys up to second place among the Capital's musical aggregations. We have no doubt that the band is a fine unit and will be booke' a lot during the fall. Nice progress, Pete, you rate many of these fragil beauties — One for each man in the band. Well, I only managed to dig up three Orchids but I filled out the column jussa same, see? You're subject to come in and give me the devil for writing it at all or ask me why I couldn't find more Orchids 'n' if you do I'm not only going to call you an "ungrateful pig," but "an unappreciative pup," and you may get a wallop besides — I warn you! But I say, come, come now, pull yourself together, you have a lot of apologies to make so you might as well start now. Scry if I published all of your biz but— Im your darling Girl Friday. To the Followers of this Column: I'll have this mug "Wiggles" on the job next week. Forgive him, he is nervewracked. - Friday. Radio Fan Mail Pours in On Terry Carter Terry Carter, popularly known as the "Singing Usher" of the Lincoln Theatre, is going big at that theatre and in his radio broadcasts which come over WJSV Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:50 o'clock. George Clark, house manager at the Lincoln, who discovered and manages Carter, is trying to increase the time of Terry's broadcast. The ten minutes given his protege is insufficient time for the singing of more than two songs. He further stated that the request songs for next Tuesday will be "Solitude" for Anna Cobb, Mildred Waring, and John Jackson; and "I'm in the Mood 'for Love'" for Charabell Royster, Mildred Waring, John Jackson, Ellen Carter, and Gertrude Cooper. Because of a typographical error in a Tribune story last week, the time for the broadcast read 9:40 instead of 9:50 a.m. SEEK YOUTH'S ASSAILANTS SANFORD, N.C. (ANP)—Lee County officers are searching for the assailants of Tom Ellerbee, 17-year-old youth, who was brought to the county hospital here Tuesday morning with a skull fracture. The injured youth told the officers that he had been set upon by a group of five boys and one of them struck him on the head with a bottle or brick. One of the assailants Fred Simmons, 19, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and is alleged to have told the officers the names of the other four members of the group. Even a thin woman is far too fat to see through.

The Washington Tribune was highly praised by officers and delegates attending the 55th National Baptist Convention which closed its session here last Sunday. The convention was held at the Tabernacle, Metropolitan and Shiloh Baptist churches. The Rev. George O. Bullock, the Rev. J. H. Randolph and the Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, members of the local committee spoke of the way in which The Tribune gave a complete coverage of the sessions. The convention opened Wednesday morning, Thursday's Tribune carried a list of Who's Who at the convention; an outline of the convention program as given by the Rev. G. L. Prince, convention president, to the Ministers Conference on Wednesday morning and a resume of the women's Wednesday meeting, and a list of some of the assignments of visiting ministers who were to occupy local pulpits on Sunday. The Rev. J. S. Simpson, of Nashville, Tenn., said: "The Tribune" IN THE SHAD OF THE STA By Abbe' Walla YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMER L. M. G.—Did my husband get the money that he was supposed to get? Ans.: Yes, he certainly did get the money left in the bank for him by his mother. He hasn't one thing to show for this money ex- cept a few wrecked automobiles and many headaches. He doesn't know the meaning of thrift. R. H.—Has my man quit for good? Ans.: Yes—and just because your girl friend was cheap enough to misrepresent one of your statements to him. Leave matters as they are and he will find out mighty quick that he doesn't care anything for this girl. You and he will be on very desirable terms around October. M. E. L.—Was my watch stolen? What happened to it please? Ans.: It is revealed to me that you have already found your watch in your own yard in a pan of moss. The watch was placed there by a child and there was no criminal motive whatever attached to this disappearance. J. L. N.—What do you think is the best thing for me to do concerning my future? Ans.: I get the impression that you will make a change of cities this fall and you will tab along a young lady whom you are now going with as your bride. This young lady is a subject of Taurus and you and she should get along fine together. M. D.—Please tell me why my oldest sister is not contented at one place long at a time?

ELEVEN the Tribune for ention Coverage With News of Sessions and ennessee Delegation to Take Home Convention Issue was highly appreciated by all of us. It was real news. Every member of the Tennessee delegation has a copy of the Washington Tribune to take back home." The Rev. G. L. Prince, president of the convention said: "I am highly pleased with the efficient manner in which The Washington Tribune covered the convention. Every one here has been so kind to us. We have enjoyed being in Washington very much." Mrs. M. A. B. Fuller, of Austin, Texas and president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Convention, said: "The women of the convention know news when we see it. The Convention Issue of the Washington Tribune certainly gave us a grand welcome. I am taking copies with me to Texas." The convention was covered by Clarence Reed for The Washington Tribune. Mr. Reed is well known in local church circles and is a member of The Tribune staff and is also the official reporter for the Third Baptist Church SHOW ARS CE DAN STAGE Ans.: I do not believe that you will marry him this month as you had hoped; it is my belief that money matters will prevent a wedding any time soon. I am of the opinion that you and he will marry later in the fall. A. E.—Is my husband true to me? I have a suspicious idea. Ans: The hot tip that you received is absolutely correct for your husband has a girl friend who works within a block of his job and they see quite a bit of one another. You had better move closer to his job so that you can keep him steered on the right track. L, J. C.—Will I be successful in getting the money that I am trying to get and how must I go about it? Ans: There is only one solution to your problem and that is to get the idea out of your mind that you are going to get something for nothing from the party who is blowing off steam about giving you an income. You would be much better off if you stayed on your job. K. D. S.—Do you think that I should keep on as I am or do what I have in mind to do? Ans.: Your better judgment tells you to enter school this fall and complete your last year of college. The small job that you have now will never amount to anything. It won't be as hard for you to raise the money to carry you through this year as it was last. G. H.—Will I ever amount to anything in the career that I have chosen against my mother's wishes? Ans.: Anyone as talented in dancing and singing as you are would make a mistake if they should give it up. Your mother loves to see you entertain in your hometown theatre but she is so afraid that you will acquire the habits that your father did when he was playing theatres.

Joe Louis By RUSS J. COWANS POMPTON LAKES, N. J.—After denying it for a week or more, Joe Louis finally came out and confirmed the reports of his impending marriage with Marva Trotter, 19-year-old graduate of Englewood High School in Chicago. The wedding will take place in New York City the day after the Brown Bomber's fight with Max Baer at Yankee Stadium. The place and minister have not as yet been selected. The couple will go on a honeymoon jawt immediately after the knot has been tied. They will either take a boat down to Cuba, or go out to California for a month. There's also a possibility that they will sail for Europe. To Make Home in Chicago Mr. and Mrs. Julian A. Black and John W. Borborough will accompany the couple on their honeymoon. On returning the newlyweds will establish a home in Chicago. Tentative plans have been made for an unoccupied apartment in the Windy City. The future Mrs. Louis will do her shopping for household goods before coming on to New York to see her intended husband in action against Baer. At the same time she will do a jitl personal shopping, buying suits, dresses and other things that will make milady look so sweet. Engaged Last Month Louis met Miss Trotter while he was in Chicago training for his first fight with Lee Ramage last December. They became caged about a week before Louis left Detroit for Washington, D.C., on his way to Pompton Lakes to prepare for his coming fight. Miss Trotter was in Detroit shortly after Louis scored his one-round victory over King Levinsky. She accompanied Louis and friends on a motor trip from Detroit to Wilberforce to attend the Midwestern Tennis Tournament. Worries About Horse The only thing that is causing Joe any worry about moving from Detroit to Chicago is "How am I going to get my horse over there and where will I keep him after he arrives?" The young heavyweight sensation has recently purchased a fine riding horse and he's very anxious to have Old Pegasus nearby for an early morning gallop. Horseback riding has been placed on the tazoo list while Joe is preparing for his coming fight. One of the best ways to keep a diary is under lock and key. A smile may often say a lot more than a laugh ever could. 'Talking Broadcast Eve from 8:30 NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD By RUSS COWANS POMPTON LAKES, N. J.—It rained here for eight consecutive days, but it was bright and warm Saturday and Sunday and large crowds were out both days. * * * * Sparring mates have been coming and going every day since Louis' arrival here. A large number have only been able to stay for one round, Louis demonstrating his disgust in his lethal blows. And then Louis' managers have been pestered by a large number of youngsters who just want to get in the ring with Joe, not because of their ring science, but for the glamour attached. Also, there is the crowd of lightweights, middleweights and light heavyweights who clamor for a chance to mix with the Brown Bomber. Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton has been a constant visitor at the camp. Judges Toney and Watson, of New York, have also paid visits to the camp. ***** The food bill for feeding Joe Louis, his managers and a few friends, vaulted up to over $100 for Saturday and Sunday. This is exclusive of the six sparring mates rubbers and other help on the lot. ***** This trip to Dr. Bier's training camp is a little different than was the first Louis made here. On the first trip Joe made a number of visits to nearby cities to attend receptions. This time he will leave the camp confines only once. He will visit the opening game between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees at New York today (Thursday). Shaw Bears Face 8-Tilt Schedule Gloomily RALEIGH, N. C. — Facing an eight-game schedule with only one letter man in the backfield and twelve letter men from which to improve on last year's line which was weak in replacements, Coach Jimmy Lytle at Shaw University refuses to make any predictions regarding the 1935 edition of the Shaw Bears. Edward Littlejohn, stellar freshman quarterback, of last year's squad will be the only varsity backfield man to report to Coach Lytle on September 16. The line men expected to return are Captain William Wheeler, Jack Grives and Samuel Gilliam, ends; Thomas Crumby, honor student and three-letter man, John Edwards and John Kibler, guards; L. Jones, C. Currin and Robert Garrett, tackles; and Ben Collier, honor student and two-letter man, and Willie Williamson, centers. MINER COLLEGE GRIDDERS MAKE READY FOR H.U. MINER COLLEGE GRIDDERS MAKE READY FOR H.U. Coach Harold Martin to Have His Teachers Out for First Time Tomorrow Out to continue the fine record of the last two seasons, Miner Teachers' College football squad of forty will report at the gym for its first practice tomorrow (Friday) morning. The loss of Tignor, Cooper, and Brown, star pioneers in Miner's football history, is expected to be overshadowed by some very likely prospects coming up from the city high school teams. John Forsythe, who captained the first Miner team in '33, will again lead the Maroon and Gold. A tough schedule of seven games starting with Howard on October 6, faces the Pedagogus Two-Year Record Good However, the determination to create real football tradition for their alma mater will again spur the squad on match the record of one defeat in fourteen games played by the school in two years. Coach Harold Martin will again direct the squad with Brown, Mullin, and Powell, assisting. The Schedule Sept. 28—Open. Oct. 5—Howard Univ. at Wash. Oct. 12—Open. Oct. 18—Shaw Univ. at Raleigh. Oct. 25—Dover State College at Dover. Nov. 1—Cheyney Teachers' College at Washington. Nov. 8—Bowie State Normal at Washington. Nov. 15—N.C. State Normal at Fayetteville. Nov. 22—Livingstone College at Washington. CHERNER MOTORS TO PLAY 'DALES CHERNER MOTORS TO PLAY 'DALES Stellar White Diamond Clan Anticipates Trouble in Second Meeting A return game between the crack Cherner Motors (white) team and the Hillsdale A.C., nine has been carded for the grounds at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road Northeast, Sunday. The two diamond aggravations will take the field at 2:15 o'clock. That a good game is in prospect is evidenced by the fact that the 'Dales, now under new management and playing more like a team, have never lost sight of that 8-5 licking tacked on them by the Cherners in their July Fourth game at Griffith Stadium. With this in mind the 1934 champions have been pointing to a chance to even the score for the past two months. Ernie Johnson, leader of the 1933 'Dales, is at the helm following the resignation of Runt White, and in their last three games the Hillsdales have shown a mood to "come back." Montello Avenue All-Stars Trim Ivy City Diamonders The Montello Avenue All-Stars closed the season. Sunday, winning the final clash from the Ivy City Junior A. C. nine in a three-game series, 8-6. The series opened Friday with the Montellos taking the initial game, 8-7. The Ivy Citians evened the score Saturday nosing out the All Stars in a ten inning encounter, 10-8. Too many advantages are disadvantages. ```markdown ``` THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1959 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune "Dear Sam: "I think 'Bojangles' Black, Black.

The baseball diamond will be filled with tigers. And there'll also be a big, bad wolf. The Tigers from LeDroit Park will oppose the Tigers from the wilds of Colesville on the plain which adorns a part of Old Man Bailey's ball and cherry orchard. And it'll be a two-round fight, the first slated to get going around about a half-past one o'clock. The two packs have been growling at one another all the year, each apparently peeved at the other for the audacity of laying claim to the jungle-cat moniker. And on last Sunday while the LeDroiters and Hillsdales were making an effort to lay one another among the sweet peas, the Colesville mouthpiece called the LeDroit brother "an old meany." The latter returned the compliment. So they'll take it to court, Sunday. Oh, the big, bad wolf? Well, they gotta have a umpire, ain't they?

Buffalo Bests Rowan, Baby Kid Chocolate Draws Kid Norfolk on Turner Show Action aplenty was found in the boxing card which included the personal appearance of James J. Braddock, heavyweight champion of the world, at Griffith Stadium, Tuesday night. The affair was promoted by Joe Turner, white. Two colored bouts, both of which were of the highest order, helped crowd the program with thrills. In the first of these, Baby Kid Chocolate, flashy Balkimore, worked the heavier and more experienced Kid Norfolk to a draw. Norfolk, also a Monumental City product, pummelled the rangy Chocolate whenever the latter made the mistake of becoming engaged in the infighting. But a long, lashing left which Chocolate threw in rapier-like fashion continually bothered the older boy. Gene Buffalo, colorful welterweight from Philadelphia, gained his third straight victory over the shifty Meyer Rowan, of New York, in the other, scrap. The match was close throughout, but not so close that it left the result in doubt. Buffalo scored a clean decision. Get out of the shadows if you want to enjoy the bright things in life.

Fifty candidates reported to Head Coach Edgar P. Westmoreland and were carried through the initial paces. Falling on the ball still tackling and other fundamentals were taught as the Orange and Blue mentor took his charges through the hardening exercises. Seven Lost Although seven of his last year's championship eleven were lost by graduation, Westmoreland appeared to be concerned very little over the chance of repeating. Joe Hall, all-city tackle and captain of this year's aggregation, reported and appeared to be in top shape already. Whether or not the Orange and Blue squad will be without the services of Dick Temple, assistant coach of the Generals for the past three years, had not been ascertained up to the time of this writing. Temple is reported to be seeking a collegiate athletic post. The Techites oppose the Bates High School (Annapolis) eleven in the first game.

He was loaded down with trophies, representing his victories. Ten men composed the team. They engaged in eleven meets, participated in 141 events and won 125. Peacock competed in 31 events and won 30. Although he was only one-tenth of the American team, he won one-fourth of its victories. His only loss occurred in Italy when he lost to the Italian Toetti. The latter's time was 11 seconds. Cornelious Johnson, of California, competing in the high jump and in some of the relays, was unbeaten while abroad.

With the advent of the gridiron sport, the average player of football will want to know what, if any, changes have been issued for the game since 1934. This article will give a resume of the most im- portant ones. There is a new provision which concerns the runner with the ball this year, in that if he is alert enough he may break away from his tackler and RUN, PASS OR KICK the ball. Rule 7, section 7, states: "A runner who is on his feet, even though he be held by an opponent, may RUN, PASS OR KICK . . . until the WHISTLE IS BLOWN." This rule will permit the clever runner to do three things after he is tackled, unless he has been thrown, and, quoting the National Football Rules Committee, "This will give the runner who has been tacked but not thrown a somewhat greater opportunity to break away and MAKE A PASS, which will further encourage the open game." But the runner must bear in mind that the sounding of the whistle stops further play, and also prevents the would-be tackler from roughing him, although he is on his feet. Of course, the alert official will sound his whistle when in his judgment the play warrants it, according to the rules as heretofore. Just the kind of pass that would follow such a play as this is dependent upon the relative position of the passer with his original scrimmage line; that is, if he is more than FIVE yards behind the original line, he may make a FOR-WARD PASS; if anywhere else, he may make a lateral pass. Intricate Plays Under this new rule, the football spectator will witness some very intricate plays where the crafty coach has ingenuity enough to devise some unexpected plays. Here again the official must be always alert to the original lineup to spot the potential receiver of forward passes. Liremen Must Be Designated Linnsman Must Be Designated In order that the officials as well as opposing players may know the real linemen, the rules committee has incorporated in the rules the following specification—Rule 7, section 2—concerning POSITION OF PLAYERS: "Upon request of the referee or umpire, a field captain must DESIGNATE the center, guard and tackles when his team is on offense." This is of invaluable aid to the officials, who will know immediately who is and who is not eligible for forward passes, as all ineligible men are prohibited from the remotest sort of interference with the RIGHT OF WAY or opponents. According to Rule 7, article 4, section 5: "When ineligible players who have crossed the line of scrimmage IN ANY WAY OBSTRUCT THE RIGHT OF WAY OF OPPONENTS on a forward pass which has crossed the line of scrimmage. IT IS INTERFERENCE. PENALTY. loss of fifteen yards from spot of preceding down, the play shall count as a down. In case of doubt, the penalty shall be enforced." There seems to be the general impression that fouls by opposing teams always offset each other. In order that this may be definitely settled, the following exception is noted in the rules for this session: Rule, 7, section 6, article 1, captioned "Kicks from Scrimimage," is this notation: "Should a punted ball be illegally touched (downed) by a player of the kicking team and then there be a personal foul by opponents, the captain of the kicking team may REFUSE the offsetting penalty." In such case the ball would belong to the receiving team at the spot of the alleged downing. Time Out Notice Notwithstanding the many duties of the referee, another has been added this year; that of keeping the coach informed about the number of occasions his team has taken time out. No longer will the coach be in ignorance about the penalty for the fourth time out, because "The referee shall cause the field captain and the COACH to be notified when their three legal 'time-outs' have been exhausted." Numerous other classifications have been included in the new rules for this year, but these mainly concern the official, in that they clear up some controversial questions of last year, and were amplified in the pink sheet releases to officials during the football season of 1934. Baby Joe Gans Loser to Barney Ross PORTLAND, Oregan, — Barny Ross, welterweight champion of the world, was the winner of a second-round knockout over Baby Joe Gans in a non-title bout here last Friday night.

LeDROIT TIGERS LOSE AND TIE IN 'DALE TWIN BILL Jungaleers Bested by Spike Bland; Rally Gains Deadlock With Joe Wheeler Taking advantage of the spotty play of their opponents, the Hillsdale baseball team, 1934 city champions, trimmed and tied the LeDroit Tigers in a double-header at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. A large crowd left the warmth of their fireplaces and the shelter of their homes and braved the chilly air and threatening elements to witness the battle. The scores were 10-7 and 4-4, the nightcap being called on account of darkness just as the Jungalers counted two runs to tie the score and barely missed snatching the game from the fire. Bland Master Spike Bland, veteran cross-fire artist of the 'Dales, at no time was in danger, being complete master of his opponent whenever mastersy was needed. An 8-run advantage given him by his mates in the early innings never saw the time for being questioned. In the middle innings, the LeDroiters found Bland for a rally. This, however, was never up to the mark, the Hillsdales never being tied after having once gone to the front. Eddie Lawson, youthful southpaw of the Tigers, bowed to Bland. Untimely miscues and the failure to play "heads-up" baseball by his mates had much to do with the Tiger downfall. Wheeler Near Defeat Joe Wheeler, speed-ball king, faced his former mates in the fin- ale and pitched steadily until the waning innings when he dissipat- ed a 4-run lead and just missed defeat. He was opposed by Bob Hammond. LeDroit Manager Cleo Smith's hitting was the principal offensive venture of the day while Runt White's shoe-string catch of a Texas leaguer was the fielding gem.

All-American Committee Starts Third Year BOSTON, Mass. (ANP)—With the opening of the forthcoming grid season the National Negro Newspaper All American Association, composed of leading sports writers in every section of the country starts its third year of operation, watching the members of various teams in action with the idea of selecting the best possible eleven at the end of the season. This association came into being three years ago and the teams selected have been composed of players in practically every collegiate association, and have been regarded as "the All American team." Sports writers, with the collaboration of prominent coaches and officials send in their recommendation and from these the players are selected. RICHMOND. Va. — Announcement was made from the business office of Virginia Union University Saturday, that arrangements have been completed for a special train to take students and friends to New York on Thanksgiving day Mrs. Fletcher Brazzell was hostess at a party given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Brown and Mrs. Lelia Gilyards. After the party, the group went to Leeds, Alabama; where cards and dancing furnished the entertainment. Eddie Lee Mack received a blood transfusion last week and is reported doing well. PESSIMISM MARKS GRID OUTLOOK AT LINCOLN Coaches Rivero and Jones Appear Gloomy As Time for Pigskin Sport Arrives Rain has greatly interfered with the plans of Coach Rivero in his efforts to get together a satisfactory Lion eleven for 1935. Candidates were called to report on September 30, but Rivero was unable to have his men appear in uniform until September 7. The coaches are confronted with the gigantic task of uncovering talent to replace such stars as Bus Bergen, All-C.I.A.A. center for two years; Babe Veney, giant guard; Tick Coleman, reliable quarterback; George Ward, star halfback from Norfolk, Va., and Watts, star end of last year's eleven, all lost by graduation. Faculty Takes Toll Although these men have been lost, the coach finds his squad missing many additional faces, largely due to scholastic stringency. Among those lost are Fulson and H. Taylor. It has just been learned that Phil Logan, groomed by Coach Rivero for Bergen's job, as center, has also been put under the faculty ban. It is also unlikely that G. Clarke, star halfback, will be able to return. Among the most promising linemen are Bailey, guard, Baltimore, tackle; Henderson, tackle; Brisbane, end; Durant, tackle; Minns, fullback; Wheeler, fullback; Pree, halfback; and Captain Parker. In the line, Coach Jones must find two new ends. In the backfield it is hoped that with intensive grooming, Burgess may be able to handle most of the kicking, supported by Minns. Crawfords Cuban Series to Begin Tomorrow The playoff series, World Series of the Negro National League between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the New York Cubans, will start in New York tomorrow (Friday).

The Voice of Alexandria BY EDDIE NEWMAN Grand RE-OPENING Thursday Night September 12, at 7 p.m. Learn to Bowl!

We'll Teach You Free Instruction Courses Special Attention to Ladies Bowling Leagues Are Now Being Formed Ye Old Hometown Hello, everyone! This is Eddie Newman, the old maestro, flashing to you the news of the week.... Maybe I should not say news, for here's what happened...FLASH! So engrossed was I last Tuesday over the news items involving that high-pressure dictator, one Huey Long, that I flew away from home leaving behind all information that would fill this column this week.... And so this absent-minded professor will attempt to give you and you a description of dear old Alexandra..First, for a very small town, we have over here quite a few colored citizens. All of these live in different sections of the home town, and almost surround the other race, the latter being confined in the center of the town largely. Each section wherein reside our colored brothers has and owns a nickname. Some of these very interesting handles are as follows: the "Burg," the "Hump," the "Hill," "Uptown," "Bears" Gap and last but not least, "Across the Canal." The most colorful part of the town to my mind is the Burg. For here week after week we have little wars after little wars. I mean that someone is always doing a work of art on somebody else with a razor blade, knife or brickbat. But wait; please don't get the impression that the Burg is tough. All of these happenings are just events that help keep the home town going. One interesting spot in the Burg is a corner known as "Hard Corner." There is a legend about this little place, stating that once upon a time when grandmother was afraid to show her ankles men used to step up on this corner to the brick wall and sharpen their weapons. Many of the oldtimers will bear out this statement. However, this is all past and gone, and on the spot there stands a modern beer garden of what have you. Leaving this part of the home town, we now skip "Uptown." Here we find doctors, lawyers, teachers and the gloom men (undertakers). Believe it or not, the little town of Alexandria honestly and truly has four or five undertakers. How some of these men in the coffin business make a living is really a puzzle. For amusement, the hometowners have one lone theatre. And this is not THIKTEEP very well attended at times. Up town is simply crowded with lunch rooms, each trying to make a dime a night. We believe the one the corner of Queen and Payne makes a little more than a dime. Just speaking of the one that sets that good potato salad. Whoever makes that surely deserves an orchid. Also the home town has one colored drug store, a recent accession from Washington. This store seems, to be holding on very well with the citizens, as it is the only place in town where a person cargo and sit down to enjoy a real ice cream soda. The other places belong to whites who, I am sorry to say, use that distasteful jim-crow system which seems to work to perfection over here. In regard to the education of the children, we now have two schools, one which gives a three-year course. The principal is one Mr. Eam, who, when I attended the school, could swing a mean baseball but if anyone happened to spoil his thoughts at the wrong time, sort of in the Babe Ruth manner. As a matter of fact, I did see one day a boy limping from the effects of one of those swings. However, that is also ancient history. The children now are much more easily handled. In case anyone thinks that I am saying too much, that incident goes back to the fifth grade when I was a pupil at the school. This writer also remembers the head of the school by a little poem he used to recite to the assembly. The lines ended something like this: "You are a liar, you are a liar; you are a sneak and you know it." Many of the hometown members such a poem, I'n. sure. And now, my dear readers, the old maestro will sign off of the folks and their doings to slip in one or two items of interest to the younger set. FLASH! It is rumored that one Thomas Gaines will be stow upon the better half of Herbert Turner (she resides on Fairfax Street) his class pin. Cheerio, everyone Will see you all next week. That is, if no more Huey Longs ups my plans. KILLS WIFE WHO RAN FROM HIM CHICAGC (ANP)—Lemon Golden, Toledo, Ohio, is being held charged with the murder of his 23-year-old wife, Anna Golden, whom he shot and killed here Thursday. FOURTEEN NEGRO SINGERS CAPTURE FAIR SAN DIEGO, Calif. (ANP)—Thousands of native Californians and visitors from every state in the Union and many foreign countries were thrilled and enraptured two weeks ago in the Spreckel's Organ Amphitheatre, during two and one-half hours, by the inspired singing of the Negro Festival Chorus of America's $20,000,000 Exposition, directed by the bater of George Garner, international tenor and a member of the exposition music committee. Contributing also to the concert were Miss Louise Beavers in a sequence from "Imitation of Life" and the exposition official band under the direction of Joseph De Luca. Mme, Natta Paullyn Garner and Royal A. Brown were at the piano and organ respectively. A memorable impression was made at the opening of the concert when the Festival Chorus, accompanied by the Exposition band, sang first, "The Star Springled Banner," followed by "Lift Every Voice and Sing," Negro national anthem. Solosists on the program were Mme. Freita Shaw, Mme. Minnie Albritton, Everett Prince, Mme. Carrie Daniels, Mrs. Nadine Brown Frank Brown and Maxine Edwards. The emphasis of the choral work was placed upon spirituals, arrangements of Mme. Garner, Mule Cain, Cook, Johnson and Burlsigh except for the "Bridal Chorus" from Cowen's "Rose Maiden." Popular numbers from the classics featured the work of the solosists. REPUBLIC 1843 YOU STREET, N.W.

He wins the prize and trouble starts. A Dawn Glory craze sweeps the country and even Miss Davies falls for it with startling results. She becomes the incarnation of Dawn Glory, but all she wants to be is the sweetheart of Dick Powell. A new song hearing the title "Page Miss Glory" is sung as a duet by Miss Davies and Dick Powell.

Cooperating with the authorities in the new fast-temp system of crime detection, are the newspaper reporters. Detective work is no small part of a modern metropolitan news-paperman's job. He must not only know everything being done by the police, but must make every effort to "get the jump" on the authorities by ferreting out his own clues.

"Sanders of the River" Paul Robeson Nina Mae McKinney Filmed almost entirely in the heart of the African Congo and starring Paul Robeson and Nina Anna McKinney "Sanders of the River" will be presented at the Booker T Theatre for one week only beginning Friday. The story follows the vivid and thrilling adventures of British Deputy Commissioner Sanders, who by his personal courage and great understanding of the native mind manages to maintain peace among the savage Congo tribes he rules. Robeson is seen as Bosambo, a big, handsome, intelligent native who aids him and Nina Mae McKinney plays Lilongo, the beautiful girl whom Bosambo rescues and makes his bride. The villain of the piece is a wicked unmanageable old king who takes advantage of his inaccessible position to break every law. When Sanders leaves the territory to get married, slave traders whose trade he has ruined, take revenge by spreading the rumor through the jungle that he is dead. Law and order are forgotten as all the tribes perpare for war. Bosambo's bride is captured by the old king's men. Bosambo goes into the treacherous region single-handed to rescue her, and is himself taken captive. Sanders undertakes a daring trip up the practically impassible river and a thrilling climax ensues. Actual Congo chiefs and 10,000 natives are prominently cast in the film which features weird and fascinating native rites never before filmed.

"I didn't make a speech, but was called on by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Adkins, who had talked on the matter before I took the platform "There was nothing to it.

The School Situation Alexandrians, for many years have clamored for a four-year high school, and it wasn't, until recently that the city gave to the colored people a full term high school. Now that the school has been established and the required number of teachers has been appointed, there must be at least seven students to every class. Every class at present has seven students, except the junior class. This is the class from which members are entering Washington schools. Professor Elam is asking all members of the junior class to remain until February so as $ t_0 $ help establish the high school and pave the way for the freshman class in order to be able to complete the high school work without having to enter Washington school's. ALEXANDRIA MRS. KATHLEEN M. LUCKETT Alexandria Representative 007 Pendleton St. Phone, Alexandria 817-W MRS. ALMA P. MURRAY Alexandria Correspondent 124 North West St. Phone, Alexandria 809 Alexandria offers its first full four year high school program for this fall. For years the city has offered high school work, but the first senior high school class began its work on September 5. A high school faculty of six academic teachers and one home economics teacher has been organized with the objective of making the school one of the best small schools in the state. The program offered at the beginning must be a general one, but enough electives will be offered so that one may prepare for college as well as receive a general education. In the near future the school hopes to be able to add commercial and home economies courses. The immediate objective is to work to get the high school on the accredited list. This will require proper library and laboratory facilities as well as a properly qualified teaching staff. Courses are already organized to meet the state's requirement, and the teaching staff is properly qualified. It has the beginning of a good laboratory. The greatest need is library facilities. Due to the scheduled opening of the new Lyles-Crouch School on the first of October, the enrollment of the Parker-Gray School was considerably less this opening day than in the past few years. Parker-Gray opened on the fifth. For every $15 raised by parents for library purposes, the school authorities will increase to $40. School funds, are always limited, and the citizens could greatly help in developing the high school program by making contributions to this cause. The school cannot offer all the courses offered in a large high school, but the classes will be small, which should enable them to give a personal touch impossible in a large high school. For years many of the citizens of Alexandria have been demanding a high school. The question is are they going to support this high school. Many of them have been sending their children to the high schools of Washington, but if they want to build up a high school in Alexandria they must keep their children here. For the first time in a great many years, there is sufficient classroom space in the city for every child. For the first time the teachers will have normal size classes.

NEW ORLEANS, La., — (ANP) —The attempt of a white newspaper, reporter for the Daily States to be funny, was the cause of grave offense to thousands of New Orleans colored residents who respected and loved the late Edward Verrett, undertaker, and civil leader. The story published in the white newspaper pictured Verrett a. a vain, glorious man, who, before his death, had let it be known that he wanted "a great big wake and funeral." Friends of Mr. Verrett deny this in true and that the large numbers of men and women, white and black, who were attracted to his wrist and funeral, came because of their love and admiration to a respected business man who had been benefactor of many of them. For a number of years, Mr. Verrett supervised hug, charities to the poor establishing bread lines during the early part of the depression and giving away hundreds of baskets of groceries at Christmas and other times. The members of the Masonic organization and business partners of Mr. Verrett voted a severe criticism of the "spirit of levity" shown by the white reporter in chronicling the death of the mortician.

MONROE (Continued from Page 8) tion and member of Ebenezer Church, read the obituary. Mrs Monroe rendered invaluable services to the District Council of Youth, of which Mr. Dodson is president. She served the organization as dean of the annual midwinter institute sponsored by the council. The audience accepted the obituary as read with a tribute of deep silence as her affiliations with civic and church organizations were related. The Rev. Robert M. Williams, of the Asbury M.E. Church, acknowledged receipt of the many resolutions and telegrams, which were turned over to members of the bereaved family. Seated in the pulpit were many ministers, among whom were the Revs, J. O. Williams, John Boone, Kenneth Barnes, R. F. Coates, J. S. Carroll, J. D. Brown, E. A. Haynes and C. S. Curry, Paid Final Tribute Arriving at the church a few minutes before the procession started for Harmony Cemetery, Dr W. A. C. Hughes, of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extensions of the M.E. Church, paid a final tribute to the life of Mrs. Monroe. Leonard Gordon and Levington Smith sang solos during the services. Julius S. Carroll accompanied Mr. Smith at the organ. Active pallbearers were: Thurman L. Dodson, Julius S. Carroll, Clifton L. Lyles, Dr Pinyon Cornish, Walter Ellis, August Howell. Surviving Mrs. Monroe are a husband, James E. Monroe; a brother, William N. Bowie; a godchild, Doris Brown, and three aunts. COTTON CLUB (Continued from page 9) At a previous conference Hurwitz was asked to submit to Wilkinson suggestions for settling the controversy. Hurwitz's proposals are as follows: We will change the cab stand from across the street to a position opposite the Luncheonette at Tenth and U Streets. Changing our entrance to the Club from its present location to main entrance on Tenth Street of the building. That will be approximately 60 feet north of the present entrance. According to the law as passed by Congress recently we will be compelled to stop playing music at 2 o'clock, as we find most of the noise and trouble is caused after that hour. The Steering Committee of the citizens' group rejected each of these proposals because neither proposal in their judgment would irradicate the difficulties of which they complained. Proposal number 1 was not accepted because it was meaningless, since the cab stand was already located where he proposed placing it. Proposal number 2 was rejected because the entrance to the Cotton Club, 70 feet north of the present entrance, would not prevent the patrons from discontinuing the unnecessary noise made on leaving or entering the club. Proposal number 3 was rejected because with the discontinuance of the music within the club at 2 a.m., as required by Congress, it would not seem that the patrons would leave at that hour. It is just as much of a nuisance to be awakened at 2 a.m. by unnecessary noises as it is at 4 or 5 a.m., it was said. "The patrons of the club would not be any more mindful of the fact that the neighbors are asleep at 2 a.m. than they have been in the past at 4 or 5 a.m." Wilkinson said. The Steering Committee will request the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to render whatever decision they deem wise in the light of the testimony taken before that board and the recent conference referred to above. Not many young couples can resist crowing when they lay away a little nest egg. CALL ★ WHEN GRIEF COMES THOMAS FRAZIER AND COMPANY 389 R.I. AVE. 723TST.N.W. ★ N 1213 7796 9847 We have the U.S. Government Contract to bury Soldiers and Sailors for 1934-35 MRS. BROWN (Continued from Page 1) packed with Mexican immigrant cotton pickers. Refused by Hotel Because of her achievement in rural education and her distinction in national educational affairs, Dr. Brown was invited to be one of a group of educators who toured Mexico under the auspices of the Progressive Educators of the United States. The association held a convention in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. Three hotels in that city refused to admit Negro delegates and x protest was voted by the association. Returning from Mexico with a group of her associate educators (white) Dr. Brown reached Laredo Texas, on the border. The Mexican conductors aroused her at 1:30 a.m. and informed her that Texas law forbade Negro interstate 'travelers from occupying any seats in a Pullman car where whites were seated. Under pain of arrest, they insisted that she go into the second-class Mexican coach. Dr. Brown yielded and found herself crowded in with a group of cotton pickers. Appeal Futile She appealed in vain to the train conductor for drawing room or compartment accommodations for the 48 hours travel to St. Louis. This was refused. Within three hours of San Antonio, she secretly offered the train conductor a five dollar tip if he would agree to the Pullman conductor's willingness to shelter her in a drawing room to San Antonio. This was arranged. At San Antonio Dr. Brown got in touch with Ambassador Josephus Daniels, whom she knew, and informed him of her prediction. He wired into San Antonio in an effort to arrange suitable accommodations, but without avail. The officials of the Missouri Pacific, the Pullman conductor, and the officers of the association could do nothing to modify this rigorous application of the Texas law. Dressed as Maid Dr. Brown's associates even offered to pry for all space in the car to protect Dr. Brown from Texas passengers, but even that was futile. Finally, the Pullman conductor informed her that he could only carry her if she posed as a maid. In order to assure herself of a modicum of comfort Dr. Brown submitted to what she considered a more agreeable form of humiliation. TRIBUNE RADIO (Continued from Page 1) last Wednesday night offering a "Broadcast Special" in an effort to test the "pull" of the feature. The Ball Park Liquor Store, 1918 Seventh Street, Northwest, inaugurated this idea by offering two popular brands of liquor at greatly reduced prices for the day after the broadcast. Last night, the Hollywood Shoe Store, Seventh and Llorida Avenue, Northwest, announced a "special." And next Wednesday night, the Royal Beauty Salon, Eighteenth and T Streets, Northwest, will make a concession to the female listeners. Tribune Offers Prize The Tribune also made a move toward rewarding its listeners last night (Wednesday). Miss. Lois Smith, 1503 Fifth Street, Northwest, was announced as the winner of a six-month subscription to the Tribune. Miss Smith's name appeared in the Tribune of the week previous when she was identified as the newly appointed manager of an Elite Laundry Company branch store. All she was required to do was to communicate with the circulation department of the paper by 6 o'clock today (Thursday). The program consists of up-to-the-minute news, comment, and personal interviews of the nation's leading colored athletes. It is brought each Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock over Station WOL. Mobile School Children to Learn More About Carver MOBILE, Ala., (By ANP) — According to an announcement made by the County Board of Education here this week, the book "Joyland in Reading" in which one of the sketches is about Dr. George W Carver, director of the agricultural research at Tuskegee Institute, will be included in the text book in all city and county schools for the ensuing year. Other famous Americans included in the sketches are: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas A. Edison and Helen Keller. FUNDS (Continued from Page 9) special allotment is made to encourage more Negroes to pursue courses that lead toward a doctor's degree. The funds made available for graduate and post-graduate study are in addition to those funds made available for part time jobs for college students. Part-time Work Part-time employment and postgraduate students will include activities and research of all types, supervised by members of the faculties of universities which take advantage of the offer. "No institution shall employ graduate students under this provision to displace any employee who was formerly on the payroll of the institution, or to fill any position which was formerly filled by a paid employee. Nor shall part-time service include the giving of any regular classroom instruction in the university," the order from Williams states. Students in the first year of graduate study may receive an average of $15 per student per month and a maximum of $20 per month as college aid, and may receive supplementary aid to the extent of not more than $10 a month from funds specifically allocated by the N. Y. A. for part-time aid for graduate students. $30 Monthly Average Students who have already completed a full year of graduate study including post-doctoral students, are eligible for an average of not more than $30 and a maximum of $40. This does not bar the university from assisting such students, however, in the extent of $15 to $20 a month on the college aid program. The allotment of funds for the aid of students in each university shall be determined on the basis of the number of non-professional masters and doctors degrees conferred between July 1, 1934, and June 30, 1935. Students shall be selected on the basis of the following considerations: 30-Hour Week Limit 1. Each student shall be able to qualify on a basis of need for such assistance as he may receive. This assistance will actually represent the difference between his being able to continue advanced work or not. 2. The students shall be of good character and, judged by usual methods of determining ability, employed by the particular university, shall possess such abilities as to give assurance that they will do high-grade advanced work. 3. Only students carrying at least three-fourths of a normal full-time scholastic program shall be eligible for employment under the allotments. The order further forbids the working of any student for more than thirty hours a week or eight hours a day. ing them to make a detailed account of all funds that passed through their hands. Denies Responsibility While the grand lodge denies any responsibility for arrangements made by the local committee. Howard said that it was the duty of the grand exalted ruler to see to it that everyone who handled any funds shall give a true and correct account of the same. "I am further advising," the legal adviser said, "that it was never intended that any individual or individuals should make any profit out of any entertainment for the grand lodge, but any money accumulated in excess of the cost is to be distributed among the entertaining lodges and temples." To Make Check-up Howard asked that all persons withhold their criticisms of the local committee until "there has been a thorough check-up and the committee has been given a chance to make a showing." "Since the committee has worked as hard as they have for the entertainment of the grand lodge, they deserve a square deal." Howard said. Speaking of the Joe Louis muddle, Howard told the Tribune that every dime in which the grand exalted ruler and grand commissioner of education are concerned will go into the treasury of the grand lodge and not to any individual. "While I have had nothing to do with the contractual relations or arrangements for the staging of Mr. Louis, still I think we should withhold criticisms until the matter is equitably and amicably worked out," the grand legal adviser said. Committee to Meet Saturday An attempt to settle all matters of the general committee on arrangements for the grand lodge will be made Saturday night, when the committee will meet at Morning Star Lodge home to hear reports' from all captains and from all individuals who handled any funds. Dr. Charles B. Fisher, general chairman of the committee, will make his final report to the committee and give account of all funds handled through him and of all contracts to which he was a party. A man's attitude toward women is a record of the women he has known THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1934 Brilliant Inaugural Ball Held at Fairmount Hts. By MRS. PEARL COX "Twas Friday and a gala night for Fairmount Heights. "Old Man Rainbow," remembering that lovely ladies look loveliest on nights that are not so dampish came out in the afternoon and took the place of recent heavy rains. Artistic hands turned the Elks' Home into a sort of dreamland, with banquet tables 'round about. Leander Hill and his "Cavaliers" filled the air with tuneful music. A shout went up. It's proud Mr. Mayor's hour. It's the minute when a greater Fairmount Heights bows to its brand new mayor (Robert S. Nichols, Sr.) and puts its whole soul in it. And the common council, too. There they stand in grand array: Messrs. James F. Armstrong, Edward Ferguson, Andrew Harrison. Ernest Kirkland, Mrs. S. S. Q. Charity, Mrs. Jane Atwood, James A. Campbell, clerk-tressurer. Doswell Brooks, supervisor of JIM-CROW (Continued from Page 9) to a booth over which was a sign reading "Bills Adjusted." Sent Back to Booth The clerk in this booth directed he, to the room which she had just left. She took a seat at one of the desks, but again was told that she must go to the "Bills Adjusted" booth. Miss Baltimore demanded an explanation and asked to see the credit manager, but was told that he was out of the city. While in the store she said she saw a number of white persons taken care of in the "New Accounts" office and one colored woman, who stated that it was the policy of the store to have colored persons waited on in the booth, where they must stand. Denies Segregation Gilbert W. Haley, credit manager of the store, stated to the Tribune that it was not the policy of the store to segregate its customers, and he denied that any attempt was made to jim-crow. Haley said his organization and clerks are instructed to treat all alike, and at times when the credit department is crowded he frequently takes prospective customers, regardless of color, into his office for conference. WILSON (Continued from Page 1) witnesses to the vowed assault which resulted in Louis's personal appearance in Washington, as the one who had broken faith with the Detroit youth's managers and caused a tie-up of the funds. Promised Share of Gate The Brown Bomber's petition, forwarded to the District Supreme Court through the offices of Attorney Michael F. Keogh, white, indicated that Louis's manager, Julian Black, had entered into an agreement to permit his fighter to take a bow from the ring at Griffith Stadium on the night of August 27. In return for this—which all agreed was done for box-office "lure"—the boxer was to share in the net profits. A gate upward of $8,800 resulted from the advertisement of the personal appearance of Louis and Jesse Owens, crack runner. Of these net receipts, Louis's petition avers, he was to receive 22% per cent, the Improved Benefi- olent Protective Order of Elks of the World was to get 22% per cent, the Lincoln Athletic Club, promoter of the affair, was to get 45 per cent, and the District Athletic Association, lessee of the baseball park, was to be given 10 per cent. Elks Back Down When the time came for disposition of the funds, Elk officials, headed by Wilson, refused to acknowledge the right of Louis to a $22½ per cent, holding out that their organization was entitled to 45 per cent of the returns. John W. Carter, president of the Lincoln A.C., became incensed at this unexpected turn of affairs, and requested that Clark C. Griffith, owner of the Washington Baseball Club and of Griffith Stadium, make no division of the spoils until Louis's end of the purse was satisfactorily arranged for. The Louis petition, besides citing the defendants for failure to keep their promise, asked the c.urt to issue a temporary injunction restraining Griffith, who now holds the money, from turning it over to anybody before the plaintiff has been accounted to.

This float created a sensation all along the line of march colored schools in Prince Georges County, Md., and president of the citizens' association, was master of ceremonies. Somebody went to Brentwood and brought in Mayor Lucas to help boost the occasion. Also Mr. Montgomery, of Washington, was present. Smart Mr. Mayor spoke of the progress of Fairmount Heights, of the growth in churches, schools, business, fraternal organizations and the like. He praised the people for the splendid co-operation they had given civic officers in the past and requested the same for himself. The women did their part by looking pretty in beautiful gowns that rivalled in color the sunset. Pink shades predominated, with the mayor's wife, his daughter Doris, Mrs. Jane Atwood, Mrs. Nsney Carroll, Mrs. Irene Scott (daughter ruler of Love Temple). Mrs. Doswell Brooks, Miss Grace McDowell, Mrs. Ernest Kirkland, and Mrs. Roscoe Washington all radiant in glowing tints of pink. HUGHES (Continued from Page 1) When Frisby died, Hughes moved his office to his Lamont Street home. Unsuccessful in a number of business deals within the past few months, the climax came when last week. Hughes 'home was sold. His wife was away from home looking for a place to room at the time her husband was becoming suffocated with the gas fumes. Howard Law Graduate In 1897 Hughes was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Howard University Law School. The following year he received the degree of Master of Laws. Since that time he has practiced his profession in the city with great prominence, and was at one time president of the Washington Bar Association. His note requesting that there be no funeral was in keeping with his philosophy of life. He always scoffed at big funerals, a friend in the home told a Tribune reporter. He never wanted publicity, and always thought that newspapers made much to do about nothing. Body to be Cremated His request will be carried out to the letter, his wife said. There will be no funeral or burial. His body will be cremated as requested by him. In the U. S. Branch of the Police Court, presided over by Judge Robert E. Mattingly, the life of Mr. Hughes was impressively eulogized by Charles Williams, attorney, who informed the court of Mr. Hughes' death. On motion of Williams, a brief recess was declared by Judge Mattingly. As further evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Hughes was held by the District Courts, Mr. Justice Bailey, of the District Supreme Court, declared an adjournment on motion of C. W. Tignor, attorney and close friend of Hughes. "Mr. Hughes was unusually endowed, and by the proper exercise of his attainments has justly merited the esteem of bench and bar. The court has always been able to rely implicitly upon his representations, and its confidence has never been betrayed by him," Mr. Justice Bailey commented. Hughes had no children, but leaves surviving his wife, a sister, Mrs. Bertha Hatchett. wife of Truly Hatchett, prominent real estate dealer of Baltimore, Md. and a brother, Dr. William Hughes of Richmond Va. Mrs. Marie Johnson, Mrs. Eva Randall and Mrs. Emma Rayford wore white, with Mrs. Rayford emphasizing the frilly idea by puffing and ruffling organdy and laces. Mrs. James Armstrong wore black as did Mrs. Hattie Gliven. The Givens lady chose a dress of lace, with pink satin showing through. Some went in for figured materials, and among them wore Mrs. Rosa Trotter, Mrs. Vare of Sest Pleasant, Mrs. Robert Palmer and Mrs. S. Q. Charity. Mrs. Fonsville selected gray and looked well in it. All the husbands who could get out that night were there. Other guests were: the Rev. M. L. McKinney. Justice of the Peace and Mrs. McCall. Mrs. Payne and Miss Gertrude Payne. Sergeant Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Baumgartner, Mrs. Lottie Kellam, Mrs. Jordan of Ithaca, N.Y., Mrs. Anna Knox. Mrs. Harriet Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Mabel Lloyd, Mrs. Corrine Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Neal. Mrs. Francis. It was a big hour for Fairmount Heights, and its loyal citizens met every minute of it with grand enthusiasm. Long live Mayor Nichols and his Fairmount common council!

Savory is treasurer. AS IT SEEMS (Continued from Page 1) into alleged Communistic activities has been concluded the charges made by Dean Miller and others who conducted the agitation that resulted in the investigation, will peter out in the same manner as did other charges that have been brought against the Howard president. After all, the procedure used by Secretary Ickes is the best. Rumors should be run down whether false or not, because the world does not always know that they are false. Secretary Ickes' procedure is to put his ace investigators to work and prove to all that the charges brought were more malicious than sincere; more for personal animosity than in the interest of the university; more as a disappointed retired professor than as a loyal alumnus. This columnist would advise the Interior Secretary to increase his investigative staff, for as long as we have Kelly Millers we will have more charges brought against the Howard administration, and as long as Kelly Miller is alive there will always be plenty of work for investigators of the Interior Department. The only way to avoid do it is to muzzle Kelly Miller, or do away with Howard University. We pray to God that the latter course will not be taken.

Called Teacher “Boy Scout” Adams, physical training di- rector at the school, is said to have been attired in an ofticer’s uniform during batallion and regimental competition. During the drill Carter is #lleg- ed to have called Adams a boy scout, and to have repeated the name to Adams the following day. When Carter exiled Adams a “boy scout” the following ‘day; Adams is said to have struck him in the face. provoking a fight between himself and the student. Carter is said to. have struck Adams on the head several times with a stick, making it necessary for him to seek medical attention. Writing to the Board of Educa- tion in the interest of Adams, Charles M. Thomas a teacher at the Armstrong High School, and executive secretary of the Colored National Democratic League, urged that the board consider the Adams’ case from certain phases. “Frazzied Nerves” ‘Thomas called attention of the board to working conditions at the Armstrong High School, de- claring that the conditions were not favorable, nd citing this, a- Hmong other Teasons, as facts to be considered in handling the case. | “Frazzled nerves,” wrote Thomas, “characterize most teachers at the and of the school term.

Unless one loves youth and is engaged in a field in which he teaches enthusi- asticslly, success is difficult among boys of the type we attract,” Thomas concluded in his letter. The letter from Thomas was referred by the Board to the with a fight in which another white man was sllegedly struck with a hammer during a traffic argument. Pyle was also charged with break- ing a glass door in # white wo- man’s home. After hearing the cace Judge Robert Mattingly dismissed the case against Pyle with the under- standing that he would pay for the dasiage done to the doce.

WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1935 He Had It Coming As much as we regret the use of violence in political rivalries, and in any human differences of opinion, we can not overlook the chance "to point a moral and adorn a tale." Senator Huey P. Long, "Kingush," invited attack, if ever a man not merely engaged in crime per se, asked to be slapped down. He boasted, strutted, called names, threatened, condemned, quarrelled, and squirmed when it paid him to do it. He talked of himself, telling all the dramatic details of his life and career, just as he wished them to be heard, during his incumbency in the Senate. Certainly he knew his Louisiana, for he was guarded day and night, and even read into the Congressional Record. August 9. what purported to be threats against him, overheard by dictaphone. During the closing hours of the last Congress, Senator Long embellished Record, page 15994, August 24, with statement that amounted to a threat against the colored people of that State that has figured so often in irregular elections in the past. He said, "A lot of people want to know why the people of Louisiana are fixing up their election laws. We are learning something every day from the State of Texas as to how elections ought to be fixed up." Here he evidently referred to the recent decision of a majority of the Suprme Court barring Negroes from democratic primaries in Texas. Without asking whether that decision would hold, or was erroneous, or was based upon a case improperly brought, the Negrohating Senator evidently intended to use it in Louisiana. Again, in the Record of the same day, page 14988, Senator Long breaks forth: "Talk about the 'nigger' issue down there. You had better vote the Democratic ticket. If you do not do it, the 'nigger' will take charge of the country; and as long as they did not have any better sense than to pay attention to that kind of folderol, about all they needed to do on election day was to wave the 'nigger' flag down South, and keep the so-called 'conservative' South. hood-winking either the conservative East or the South, one or the other all the time...." "We will give you a 'dad-gummed Solid South,' one you are not used to having." Thus this Senator of the great United States descended to the kind of billingsgate and "waving of the bloody shirt," such as have operated to keep the oligarchy of a few thousand voters in power in the South and the Federal Government as if they represented a majority of the voters in a State with republican form of government. In the last presidential election, the vote in Louisiana was 268,274, or just about the quota for one congressman. This is out of a grand total of 2,101,593 persons, of whom 776,326 were persons of color. This same situation, in which the tail wags the dog, holds for states in the South; even Texas, where 857,000 voters secured power in the Federal government out of 5,824,715 persons of whom 834,964 were colored. "Sic Semper Tyrannis," may be an epitaph. Too bad Huey could not live and learn! Alabama with 2,648,615 persons voted but 244,615. South Carolina with 1,178,765 persons voted 103,407; not half a congressman's quota. Mississippi did worse with 146,033 votes out of 2,009,821 persons in the State. Yet Huey Long would remodel the elections of Louisiana to harmonize with those of Texas for which the Supreme Court refused to know that "to be named in the Democratic primary was equivalent to an election." We'll pray for Huey! A Problem Created Some 40 families living on E Street between between Twentieth and Twenty-first Streets, Northwest, are in a quandary and so would most of us be if we were in their shoes. This group whose homes have been in so-called slum areas, are faced with eviction by the government in order that their homes may be torn down to make room for a modern housing program. The immediate need of these families is a roof over their heads this winter. That is, a shelter for which they are able to pay. In their present quarters they pay an average of $12 a month. The cheapest available houses rent for $25. The 100 or more affected fail to see the benefit derived from the government's program. Modern houses are all right if one can afford to pay for them. In the mean- time the present delapidated houses furnish a shelter and a home in which some have lived for over a quarter of a century. Over half of these families are on relief and unless they can find quarters in other slum areas they face the alternative of living in the street. Until the government furnishes a place for this group to live at rentals they can afford to pay, little good will have been accomplished by the Alley Dwelling Authority. Pickens' Observations W-A-R Britain has been on the horns of delimita- m for many months, at least ever since it became reasonably certain that MAD MUSSOLINI meant to attack Ethiopia unless he were check- ed by greater power, which attack is an in- test attack upon the British Empire, a fact when no British statesman could fail to sense and to understand. Now, the British will have to do some fast thinking, and maybe some faster acting. But they are fast thinkers. Modern war is so fearful a thing that great and wise men and nations hate to omit the last effort to try to prevent it; nobody, except madmen like Mussolini, is willing to be charged directly with responsibility for war,—and even the Mussolini try to manufacture pretexts and excuses. Therefore England has waited and worried long, almost too long. If they had taken a positive stand a year ago, if they had said in as plain language as possible: "We will support the independence of Abyssinia to the limit of our resources, because the independence of that country or its dependence on Great Britain, is vital to the life of our empire." If they had said that, Mussolini would have famed and frotted at the mouth, but he would not have shipped troops to Africa. Now he has gone too far to stop gracefully; he is in a desperate situation, between British opposition and Italian illusion back home. Also Britian could have stopped the preparations for World War over twenty-one years ago, if she had said to the Kaiser in July: "If Belgium or France is invaded, it is Britain's war. That would have lost the friendship of Germany but in all probability would have saved ten millions men's lives. The British dilemma lay between allowing Mussolini to invade British-dominated East Africa and the arming of black and fierce tribes to shoot and kill white men. Both of those things make England tremble. As the Irishman said, "If either one of those things can be worse than the other, it must be both of them." With six or seven times as many blacks as whites in the great British Empire, England does not want to encourage colored races to fight against white races. On the other hand, Mussolini is deadly poison to have injected into the East African system, where Britian had just succeeded in arranging everything beautifully—British from "Cape to Calico." Of course, there was "independent" Abyssinia in the way, but a weak, unarmed "independent" nation is no problem to a great power. Mussolini will be a real problem. On the other hand, Britain would be a much safer neighbor for Abyssinia than would Italy,—for Britain has large colonial interests and a great experience in colonial government. Britain has many millions to exploit, from Calcutta to Kingston. Italy would have only the Ethiopians to bleed, and woe to the poor Ethiopians if Italy takes them in: Mussolini would be worse for the Ethiopians than for the British. The British government is mainly concerned about British interests, not about Abyssinia. We can have only great admiration for Haile Selassie, who, in the face of all this selfishness of both his enemies and his "friends", has $s_0$ far stood like a Rock. He faces hell and refuses to run away. He is the only Heroic Figure in the whole sorry picture. **** THOSE CALIFORNIA LYNCHINGS Old Rolph's body lies a-mouldering in the clay, but his soul goes marching on, at least among the lynchers of California. A few years ago, Rolph, then the governor, praised the lynching of two white men at San Jose. He was widely condemned throughout the civilized world, but he has not been forgotten by those who are inclined to take the law into their own hands and who were encouraged by praise from high places. Recently they lynched another white man in California. Of course, they say that he was a "bandit" and a suspected murderer. But what has that to do with it? We notice that he was never tried and proven to be either a bandit or a murderer. At any rate, perhaps we can now have some more mass meetings in the land and get some new sentiment behind the effort to pass a law against lynching. The present Governor Merrism, of California, called the recent lynching "a blot on the fainame of California." Politicians of the Merrism type are always without sense of humor—the "fair name of California,"—where the governor advocated lynching and where night-riders and hoodlums have done more to destroy the liberty of thought and expression than almost in any other part of the United States, where a man named Mooney is still in jail, for nearly twenty years—for a crime which even the humorless Merrism knows Mooney did not commit. "fair name" indeed! No blot could be put on a name that is already smeared all over with soot. But Governor Merriman can begin to rub that name clean by pursuing, arresting and punishing the lynchers of this white man, who was done to death without a trial. He would cause the name of California to fairly shine forth to all the world if he would call for a federal law against lynchers, to help the almost helpless states to maintain civilized order. Will Merlham do anything except utter this platitude? Seeing will be worth believing. Sometimes people are licensed to do evil, then arrested and fined for doing it. But it takes all that and more to balance our city budgets. Good citizenship is a personal matter of honesty, debt paying, developing traits of mercy, peace and fair dealings. Politics seems to have lost much of its sacredness; so it seems from the course taken by most of the politicians. It seems now that the white municipal primary section, as of last Tuesday needs cleaning, though it's white. You have lived a strenuous life if you have lived up to your privileges, say nothing about your opportunities. Our Readers' Opinions I must commend the Tribune for being the first real colored newspaper that this city has afforded and I have been a resident since 1910 and a reader of all race papers. Of course there is room for improvement but I have no criticism to offer, for I believe as you extend your circulation you will improve the paper and I am giving you my financial and moral support. E. W. HARRISON, Sueperintendent Metropolitan A.M.E. Sunday School. Press leadership vs. individual leadership, discussed by Cheyney man. To the Editor: Apropos of a recent release by Dean Kelly Miller in which he set forth his observations so admirably on the progress of the Negro press or press leadership vs. individual leadership, may I add that: The growth or development of the Negro press may be readily attribute to increased training, foresight, and intelligent planning. Through the years they have had the wisdom to figure out the possibilities of the battle, make new plans and carry them through with an unshaken competitive spirit and a dogged determination to succeed in spite of numerous seemingly unsurmountable obstacles; and as a result, the more progressive publications are doing more than just merely surviving. It should be remembered that organized effort should always prove more effective than individual effort. The gentlemen of the fourth estate, over a period of years, have taken their work seriously as well as having dignified their profession. They have learned the wisdom of "Holding fast to that which is permanently true." Men, women, organizations, and parties change from time to time but fundamentals or principles never change. They have learned to face facts relentlessly and to adjust their ideas to facts of today; and that it is unprofitable to attempt to climb upward by pushing other people downward. There is too much pulling downward and apart and petty jealously among those Negroes who, for genuine race development and solidarity, should be working constructively on the principle of one for all and all for one. The press nowadays, like the progressive business and profession, demands the best trained men and women available and increasing high standards of all those who would serve it well. One can no longer get the Negro press to print what one wants regardless of the news value of the statement. If the material submitted possesses any news value it is considered on its intrinsic merits only. News is that which is interesting to the public and it is that for which the people are willing to pay to have brought to their attention. The press has learned the difference between news, scandal, propaganda, and yellow journalism. The Negro press is a constructive, helpful, and unifying influence which is causing Negroes to pull more together, think better of each other, maintain increased mutual courage, confidence, hope and good cheer. Newspapers are similar to individuals—the ones that profit most are those that serve best. The Negro press is a servant of mankind. "Do you covet distinction? You will never get it by serving yourself. Do you covet honor? You will get it only as a servant of mankind."-W. Wilson. GEORGE W. BLOUNT, Cheyney, Pa. Other Papers Say LET US SUPPOSE By Sterling A. Brown Let us suppose him differently placed In wider fields than these bounded by bayous And the fringes of moss-hung trees Our which is similar to the Over which, in lazy spirals, the carancros soar and dip. Let us suppose these horizons pushed farther, So that his eager mind, His restless senses, his swift eyes, Could glean more than the sheaves he stored Time and time again: Let us suppose him far away from here. Or let us, keeping him here, suppose him More submissive, less ready for the torrent of hot Caian speech. The proper slant to his neck, the eyes abashed, Let us suppose his tender respect for his honor Calloused, his debt to himself outlawed. Let us suppose him what he could never be.

In reading the dispatches we are impressed with the sincerity of the representatives of the nations, but we are also concerned over the stand-patism of Mussolini. The Italian premier seems to take delight in urging his soldiers to combat. It will be some time yet before the world knows the truth about the Ethiopian controversy. Some people, like sponge, absorb; have to squeeze 'em to get it out of 'em Dr. Brandon sent for Carl one afternoon. Dr. Brandon obeyed the summons, came, seated himself on the luxurious sofa in his father's office. It happened that on this particular day he was not on duty at the hotel. Dr. Brandon took the large easy chair. "I've been thinking about your future, son," Dr. Brandon said, taking frequent puffs at his long handsome Tampa Havana cigar. Dr. Brandon's moo, became whimsical, then earnest. "It's your mentality son, your heritage. I want you to make the most of it. I'm going to send you away to the best college I can afford." "I'm very anxious to go, dad," Carl responded enthusiastically. "All my friends will attend some school." "The educated men will be in demand in the future as he has been in the past." Dr. Brandon continued. "It is a tradition in my family that we produce educated workers for the Negro of tomorrow. There was a brief silence. Both the older and the younger man seemed lost in thought. Then Carl said impulsively: "Dad, you've often promised to tell me something about your father, more about the tradition he desired to build in our family. Can't you do so now?" "He was an African Methodist Episcopal preacher." Dr. Brandon answered, taking a leisurely puff at his cigar and blowing the smoke so that it formed concentric rings in the air. "He was a pastor and a presiding eder in the Jacksonville district. He was a strong man, deeply religious, and charted my own life's course for me before I was old enough to do any thinking for myself. At that time the study of medicine in preparation for the Doctor's degree was the goal and highest aim of practically every ambitious colored youth. The most popular schools for this purpose were Howard in Washington and Meharry in Nashville. I began life at the age of sixteen, after the death of my mother, as an apprentice in a drug store in Fernandina, Florida. It was my father's influence as presiding elder that secured this apprenticeship for me. I saved enough money to pay part of the cost of my first year at Meharry where I went with the aid and encouragement of my father, the Reverend Butler. After my first year, in company with a group of fellow students I went to Boston. I took a job there as a bellboy. It was the first thing I could get." Dr. Brandon paused to chuckle. "In Boston, that summer, I ate my first plate of Boston Baked Beans. I'll never forget the dish because on the day I bought them I was hungry and had in my pocket only a ten cents tip earned by carrying a pitcher of ice water into a traveling salesman's hotel room." "What followed?" After that summer in Boston I returned to $_{0}$ Meharry for my second year with the money I earned at the hotel and with some aid I received from my father who was quite active in church work in Florida." "Did you return to Boston after your second year at Meharry?" "Yes, I did, but I did not return to Meharry for my Junior Year in Medical School. Indeed, I went to Howard University. At the end of my Junior year at Howard I went to the New England States again for work. This time I was not confined to Boston but worked on steamship lines running up the Hudson as a waiter. With the aid and encouragement of my father I was finally able to complete my Senior year at Howard University in the year of our Lord 1900. I was twenty-five years old at the time." "You finished Medical College at just the right age, dad," Carl observed. "Yes, I think I did." "Son," Dr. Brandon continued, leaning forward and looking seriously into the earnest face of his son, "you have many bridges to cross before you come forth the victor on the road to education and success that lies ahead of you. But you will win. I merely pray to God that I live to see the day of the fruition of your mentality. You will be led forth by ambition and will encounter obstacles. But I have confidence that the words of experience in Hobart's Morality Play will apply to you: 'And when ambition leads you forth again love shall be by your side and experience shall carry the implements of war—and you'll win this time, my boy—you'll win the heights of Fame and Fateune!' Whether or not fame and fortune were what Carl Brandon actually sought by preparing to take the journey to the West to begin his higher education is problematical. His own ideas were a bit hazy on the subject. But he wanted to go West. He wanted to find himself on the other side of Chicago. He wanted to see the broad plains, the granite rocks, the vast open mesas on the other side of Iowa. And finally, he knew, he would come to the mountains, the Colorado. He would spend a day at the Cave of the Winds, would motor through to the Gardens of the Gods... The West held the promise of the beginning of life for Carl Brandon. Dr. Brandon knew the importance of the formative years in the life of youth. He thought Horace Greeley's earlier advice "Go West, Young Mar." still good. His son would be thrown into wholesome contacts there. At Denver, the mile-high city, the summer suns were high and hot and re- England's Blacks Sponsoring Pro-Abyssinian Meetings To the Editor: The eyes and the thoughts of the Irish are featured on Ethiopia and three days we see a strong rea- tion amongst the colored people against Mussolini's brutal men- aces. As I left Paris last week for London on my way to the Soviets the Union of Negro Workers and the Anti-Imperialist League there were preparing a big protest meeting. In London there have been meetings already, such as that of the War and Peace Society at London University College last June. Ten days ago the British Anti- Imperialist League held one at Essex Hall. This was attended mainly by whites. Second Meeting Held A second and much larger meeting followed, with only three days' preparation, at the London Memorial Hall. The new committee which called it is "The International Friends League of Abyssinia." About 250 attended -98 per cent of whom were Negro and colored about 40 more people (chiefly white) having to be turned away from lack of room. Although 250 may seem a small number to America's immense colored population it must be realized that there are relatively very few Negroes in London, and the fact that IEL meeting drew so many diverse elements among the colored population—such as students professional men, reverends, and workers, many of whom heretofore have been either reactionary or at any rate non-militant—shows more clearly than anything else that the Negroes are rising against Mussolini's vicious aggression on Abyssinia. Present was even Prince Monolulu, who generally abstains from all meetings and who is a very famous figure on English race-courses. Certainly Mussolini is causing the birth of a United Front for the defense of the Abyssinians' rights. Mrs. Garvey, Chairman This meeting contained the largest number of Negroes since the big Scottsboro protest in Shoreditch Townhall in 1932, arranged by the International Labor Defense, on which evening Ada Wright spoke from an "all-black" platform of some 75 colored workers. Mrs Garvey was the chairlady at Memorial Hall. And that England is watching the reactions of its colored population was shown by the presence of six press reporters. (You do not find British press reporters attending colored meetings on, say, Empire Day or the like). Amongst them was Hannan Swaffer, best paid of English journalists, who is generally recognized as a "liberal specialist" in Negro matters. The best speeches were those of Albert Marryshaw (noted Grenada, B.W.I. newspaper editor) and C. L. R. James, a young Jamaican historian. Both were intensely eloquent. Marryshaw denounced and demolished the lies and slanders of the white capistail press on the whole Abyssinian question. James gave an intensive outline of Ethiopia's past history, its cultural and fighting traditions and its present state. Also spoke Johnstone Kenya atta, of Kenya, Africa, and the two Representatives of the Aborigines Society from the Gold Coast who are in London now since almost a year on behalf of their people's claims which the British Government is refusing to consider. Women Volunteer for Ethiopia A resolution was unanimously passed that a legion be formed for active service in Abyssinia, if and when the war breaks out. Many women also volunteered for ambulance work and as nurses. The enthusiasm was tremendous, and the 27 pounds collected in the hall, plus theL24 previously subscribed in the course of a few days, show that a concrete start has been made. The meeting ended with another resolution. It has been sent to the British Foreign Office, the Italian Ambassador in London, and the League of Nations: "That every avenue be explored to give justice to Ethiopia as member of the League of Nations." The son of Dr. Martin (Ethiopia Minister in London) officially thanked the gathering in the name of his country. These weeks Marcus Garvey is speaking on Abyssinia to large crowds every Sunday in London Hyde Park. Other Negro speakers there are A. Ward and R. Sawyer of the London Negro Welfare Association, and Prince Monolulu, who draws immense numbers, and has always been a strong denouncer of Hitler's persecutions. Comrade Chris Jones, of Barbados, is very active at numerous meetings of the National Unemployed Workers Movement, and his powerful juvenating; the winter snow was dry and brisk and a stimulant to a life of action. Carl's complete program for the remainder of the summer had been mapped out by Dr. Brandon. It was now the middle of August. According to Dr. Brandon Carl would spend the next two weeks in Miami, would return to Tampa for about ten days and leave for Colorado in order to attend the University. He would travel by way of Chicago and enroll as a freshman at the university during the third week in September. It would not take long for him to prepare for the trip to Miami. He would go by bus. He knew the bus would be filled with white folk; the two or three colored passengers like'y to be carried would be allowed to sit on the rear seat only.

Brown, a publicity director of Emergency Conservation Work, with office in the Post Office building, is a great guy—blunt, frank to the point of giving offense, but so honest you have to admire him. Mr. Brown's recent return from a two-week training conference program for educational advisers of the Civilian Conservation Corps held at Hampton Institute, has been kept busy from ten to eight (ten hours a day at his enormously difficult job of intelligently publicizing his department's varied activities. He is performing this task exceedingly well and men high in his party's councils say his work compares favorably with that of Michael (Interior) Strauss's and that other ace publicity man, Alfred (Agriculture) Stedman. Mr. Brown, with Arthur W. Mitchell, Negro Congressman from Illinois, and G. David Houston (a Harvard classmate of the President) is one of the few Negroes who can see the President by request almost any time. He, of course, like them, has been careful not to abuse the privilege. The only difference has been that he has asked for changes in policy in certain things where possible jobs for hundreds of Negroes were involved while Congressman Mitchell on one occasion asked for the appointment of one man (Armond Scott for a D.C. judgeship) and Houston is reputed to have had the last word in the appointment of one of his friends to a special adviser berth.

While all gazed on with pleasant smile. The ladies rode too; in splendor by. While folks lent a curious staring eye. For they did make a glorious sight, On top their steeds garbed so aright. The bands they played and the bugles blared. And in the air large colored banners flared. The Spanish bands plucked on their strings away. Each one his part of the harmony did play.

Selassie's Diplomacy The diplomatic methods of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia might be studied with profit by American Negro leaders. Here is a man who, admittedly head of a "backward" country, is standing the world on its head. How does he do it? By adroitly appealing to the best motives in men, but by yielding not an inch on the grounds of his personal prestige honor and dignity. Many Negro leaders win on the first point, but lose out on the second. To hold up the second point, you must yourself be the personification of what you ask yourself or demand. Some leaders say, do not do as I do, but do as I say. But the public replies, how can I do as you say do, when I see what you are?

And let me say her Leonard G. Hyman was unanimous third consecutive year. Fine record his job, his club recognizes this g organization for another year. The capital city is beginning to appear normal once more. As the summer vacation draws to a close, with the hot swettering days of July and August merely a memory, and the cool enjoyable days of early fall greeting us vacationers are returning to the city to prepare for the many activities which must necessarily occupy their attention in the next few weeks. School bells will be ringing in the next week or so—teachers must be ready with plans on their desks and a wealth of information and a round of activities available for the active minds and anxious faces which will greet them; clubs, fraternities and various civic organizations are holding their meetings preparatory to the formation of plans for the winter; the always busy housewife is pouring over magazines, pamphlets and books with a view toward attaining new ideas for making home more attractive and of course fashion books are in great demand for the feminine of today as she must be modern and to be so means an understanding of what to wear to make one's self as attractive as possible. All in all, everyone is quite busy one way or the other. Speaking of club activities brings to my mind the popular Appomattox Club which has endeared itself to the socialites of Washington, because of the wonderful hospitality shown and the congenial atmosphere which surrounds each social activity offered by it. Perhaps this is due to the splendid aggregation of young men which makes up its roster. And let me say here at the regular meeting last week Leonard G. Hyman was unanimously re-elected as president for the third consecutive year. Fine record for Leonard. He evidently knows his job, his club recognizes this fact and he once more heads this organization for another year. Other officers elected were: Albert A. Browne, vice-president; William B. Edlin, secretary; Thomas R. Parker, treasurer; George R. Keys, financial secretary; Charles H. Carter, social secretary, and Roland B. Price, sergeant-at-arms, Albert A. Brown acts as chairman of the Advisory Council which includes William L. Dulany, Dr. Gorham C. Fletcher, William H. Mayo, Dr. LeCount R. Matthews, Charles H. Carter and George R. Keys. Messrs.

First twas California, then twas Connecticut. But in a week or so Drs. Ballou and Wilkinson will give a certain signal and we'll know exactly where to find the much traveled Mrs. Tate. It's "hay fever season" and one poor sufferer (a six-footer from Southeast Washington) is telling his wife "I told you so." You see they've been married many a year and ever since the last bit of honey dripped from their "moon" and plain old molasses took its place she's been saying to him, "Gee, how dumb you are." But the other day some scientist or something came out with the announcement that hay fever only attacks the ultra-intelligent and now the mean old wife's whole face is redder than her husband's nose. Cupid's been busy in Westminster Street, again. Not many weeks ago it was smart Miss Doris West. This time a tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed Miss is filling up a pretty chest with six of this and six of that while a popular young man about town is saving his dimes to pay the preacher. It's almost a shame for school bells to ring so soon and break up the grand vacation young Warren Johnson (son of the William Johnson, of 1840 Thirteenth Street) is having in Chicago as the guest of Mrs. Josephine Powell, a relative. How fast happy minutes fly? Look at the William Bright's, of 323 South Capitol Street. They celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary the other day and it hardly seems more than four years ago that the proud father of Mrs. Bright (Mr. George W. McGhee) gave his daughter into that Bright man's keeping. You saw Mrs. Daniel Pittman, wife of the popular detective at a banquet in a pretty dinner gown and you wondered if she could possibly look any cutter. Then you met her a day or so later in a two- toned swagger suit (brown) and you were just as much in the dark as you were before. Have you seen the Terrell Law School factuary members lately? (Parker, Hershaw, Gaskins, Dobbins, Mehlinger, Thomas, Smith and all the others). There's a spring in their steps that wasn't there before. And there are two reasons. The school is opening this year in its new home on Thirteenth Street and Judge Armond Scott has been added to the teaching staff. Vacation camps are closed and smart very pretty young Washingtonians are all at home again. It's a good thing too for some of them might have been tempted to break away without getting permission just to attend the pretty party given by Miss Dorothy West (daughter of Dr. and Mrs.West, of Second Street) in honor of the small Davis sisters (daughters of President Davis, of West Virginia Institute) who are the house guests of Mr. John R. Hawkins, of Fourteenth and Q Streets, How about Emily? (Miss Emily Baer, of 1408 Hopkins Street). She's back in the city after a few days in Williamsport, Pa. with a brighter beam than ever in her pretty black eyes. And we'd be willing to wager our year before last's winter hat (couldn't put up last year's, it's got to serve this year at least) that the sparkle isn't in Emily's eyes on account of the visit to Pennsylvania relatives. Neither is it due to her duties as clerk in somebody's school. But the glitter in Emily's eye comes from the eight o'clock ring her doorbell gets every single Sunday night It was Saturday evening. A slight rain had fallen and so outside 'twas dark and damp. But inside the brightly lighted parlor of Mrs. Birdie Kebbie', home, 67 I Street. Northeast, there was warmth and joy and laughter. "Kebbie" and her friends Isabella (Hurd) were entertaining for some of Elkdom's best known women. Among the guests were Mrs. Effie Stewart, grand assistant daughter ruler; Miss Ethel Charleston, of Philadelphia, assistant secretary of Education; Mrs. Rudd, of Havana Cuba; Mrs. Della Gaddis, Mrs. Cora E. Miles, of Philadelphia, daughter ruler and cabinet of Columbia Temple, Mrs. Bertha Stewart, Frances Duncan, Carrie Mahoney, Anne Adams, Mary Bond, deputy of Columbia Temple; Aletha Williams, past deputy of Forrest Temple; Catherine Clark, Ethel Sesco, E mma Johnson, Agnes Taylor, Josephine Butts, Elsie Cameron, Freda Pitts, Helen Scott, Gladys Toles, Louise Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Tolson, of Baltimore; Messrs. S. B. Doute, George Clark, H. Jennifer, Beechon Harris, of Boston, Oscar Washington, P. W. Thomas, George Hatton and many others. Flowers were everywhere about the home. Tail candles shed a pikish glow over the pretty tale and added more beauty to the handsome gowns of the ladies. You played cards; you warmed your heart with the music. And then when you had eaten your fill of delicious tuna fish salad piled high in cold tomato cups (with tiny gherkins' round about) and cake and punch and what not you went home thanking your Lucky Star that "Kebbie" kindly remembered you when she and Isabella entertained THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1935 A delicious surprise! The reason Mrs. H W. Campbell (wife of a Fairmont Heights minister) didn't lend her lovely presence to the Inaugural Reception for the new mayor, Mr. Robert S. Nichols, and the Common Council of Fairmont Heights was because she and her sister, Mrs John E. Smith, 1812 Ninth Street, Northwest, were visiting in the gay metropolis. Comings and Goings In the Capital:— New York, the mecca for a lot of smart Washingtonians: Mrs. Mattie Shippen, Mrs. Elsie Hogan, Mrs. Virginia Green, Mrs. Marie Syphax, Mrs. Charles Ferguson, of Twelfth and P Streets; Miss Leona Boyd, 2709 Eleventh Street, off to Gulfport, Miss.

Anyhow, she was happy over the cards, the telephone calls, the flowers and other lovely remembrances. Among the lovely young matrons at the Fairmount Heights inaugural reception and ball Friday, was Mrs. Helena Kirkland, D. C, school teacher, and wife of one of the feted council-men. Mrs. Kirkland looked quite sophisticated in a beautiful gown of ecru taffeta trimmed in red. Another bit of lovely femininity present, was Mrs. Marie Johnson, wife of one of the community's prominent doctors, Mrs. Johnson was charming in a gown of white crepe with a dash of coral. D. C. Teacher Weds Pittsburgh Physician The marriage of Miss Sylvia Ruth Hoffman, of this city, to Dr McKinley King, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was solemnized by the Rev Thomas J.

TOMPKINS STRESSES LOCAL HEALTH PROBLEM Calls Washington T. B. Center of the World "No Negro community can rise until that community has supervision of a colored health officer in every health department." Dr. William J. Thompkins, chairman of the Elks' Health Commission, told the delegates to the Thirty-sixth Annual Convention of Elks, which closed here last Saturday. Delivering one of the most stirring and dramatic addresses of the entire convention, Dr. Thompkins termed the District of Columbia the "Tuberculosis center of the world," and scored the medical profession of the District for the laxity in permitting the health conditions of Washington to exist. Outlines Procedure Dr. Thompkins, an authority on health procedure, outlined to the convention what a modern health set-up should consist of, and urged the delegates to return to their homes and demand the same care and consideration that is given white people in their community, "The Negro cannot come unto his own until he wipes away his false pride and demands the same thing that is given the whites," the District Recorder of Deeds told his audience Displays Signs Dr. Thompkins bad placards placed around the platforms, depicting the bad health conditions in Washington. The placards bore such slogans as: "Tuberculosis and disease dwell in fifth;" "500 Negro babies less than one year old died in Washington last year;" "500 Negroes died from tuberculosis last year in Washington;" "Science saved the Dionne quintuplets, science can save Washington from tuberculosis;" "One tuberculor person will spit 3,000,000 germs on the streets each day;" "Washington is the tuberculosis center of the world." These same placards were used by Dr. Thompkins in the parade, the signs having been carried by boy scouts who walked beside the car of the chairman of the health commission CINCINNATI SCOUT EXECUTIVE VISITS D. M. Nelson and Family In Auto Mishap En Route to Washington D. M.

A native of Washington, Mr. Nelson is a graduate of Fisk University. He has been engaged in Scouting for more than fourteen years, having been Field Executive for more than a year. Beford V. Lawson, local chairman and Lucius Young, local Field Executive, made use of the wonderful opportunity to learn of the problems of scouting among our boys in Ohio and methods used in confronting them. Mr. Nelson visited a few of the Troops here. Involved In Mishap En route to Washington accompanied by his wife and thirteenth-month-old daughter. Mr. Nelson miraculously escaped serious injury when his car skidded on the wet highway in West Virginia, and collided with a moving van. The collision completely demolished Mr. Nelson's machine. Mr. Nelson, driver of the car, scaped injury but his wife sustained slight injuries and his baby daughter suffered a broken jaw. Both the wife and baby were recovering rapidly when they departed for home. Tuesday. 14 Advisers Appointed to Conservation Camps By EDGAR G. BROWN John W. Studebaker, U. S.

Waters is Found Dead in Home With Neck in a Rope Coroner Issues Certificate of Suicide in Death of Retired Carnegie Help Found dead on the stairs of his home early last Saturday morning with a clothesline around his neck and the other end tied to the bannister, Charles Henry Waters, 1417 Columbia Street, 52 year-old retired employee of the Carnegie Institution of Washington was said to have met his death at his own hands when a certificate of suicide was issued by Coroner A. Magruder McDonald. The verdict of the coroner caused the release from custody of police, Charles B. Waters, 28 year-old son and finder of the body, who had been held pending the outcome of an investigation by police. Had Cut in Scalp An autopsy ordered by the coroner revealed that Waters had received a cut on the scalp and one eye was discolored. The body was identified at the District Morgue by a niece, Mrs. Edna Peyton, 433 V Street, Northwest. When interviewed by a Tribune reporter Wednesday, Mrs. Peyton was hesitant about giving information regarding the circumstances under which her uncle committed suicide. She stated that he had not appeared despondent, and that he apparently had no worries which might lead to such an act. Was Nearly Blind Mrs. Grace Page, 801 P Street, Northwest, told The Tribune that her brother had been bothered with eye trouble and was partially blind. However, Mrs. Page stated that she was somewhat in familiar with the habits of her brother as he seldom visited her. She stated that he visited his other sister, Mrs. Louise Cole, 433 V Street, Northwest. Asked as to the persons residing with her brother, Mrs. Page stated that he lived with his son. Mrs. Page said that she had been invited to a conference to be held on the distribution of the estate left by the brother. She stated however, that she did not know about his affairs as the two were somewhat estranged. Waters was buried Tuesday from the Bundy Funeral Chapel. Messages of condolence were received from numerous white friends who had known him during his employment at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. N.A.A.C.P. Work is Called "Vicious" by Mitchell NEW YORK—"Nearly everything the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does is vicious," declared Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell of Illinois in Norfolk, Va., recently.

The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch quotes him as saying: to its reporters: "You can say that I believe everything the association does is vicious." Both in his speech and in his interview Mr. Mitchell expressed his disapproval of discrimination, saying it was "wrong," but he urged colored people to use "friendly" means to get rid of it.

It is larger than France and Germany combined. It has 5,000,000 population. It contains 350,000 square miles as against Staly's 91,000 square miles of territory. The climate of the Alpine parts of Ethiopia is temperate. Southernmost Ethiopia is still two hundred and fifty miles north of the equator. Ethiopia is worth untold billions of dollars. But its greatest value is its military one. It holds the key to the survival of the British Empire in the years that are to come. An empire is as strong as its weakest point. The weakest point of the British Empire is the Red Sea. This has been called the "waist" of the British Empire. Ethiopia is the only high land near the Red Sea; therefore, of all important military value. It is the only high land of central Africa that is capable of supporting a heavy white population. The Tigre Mountains, overlooking the Red Sea, in which the Nile has its source, are the strategic military position for controlling the Red Sea, Egypt and the Cairo-South African Railway. Going south from Cairo along the Red Sea shore we immediately run into the Arabian Desert, and south of that into the equally terrible Nubian Desert. Then we run into Eritrea, which runs on south to the very Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. If Italy gains military control of Ethiopia, it will control 500 miles of Red Sea coast and 1200 miles of Indian Ocean coast, with an ever-increasing menace the more heavily Ethiopia becomes populated by Italians and fortified as it will be by Italians. The Ethiopian border is only 75 miles from the Cairo South Africa Railway.

Storming the offices of the Harrison County board of education at the courthouse here, the striking students failed to find Dr. J. W. Corder, president of the school board, but they left demands that all replaced principals, teachers and janitors be returned to their former positions. The students at the Kelly Miller High School were demanding the return of two janitors who had been replaced at their school. Girls who kiss and then go tell; with boys don't get along so well. Washington Tribune THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 14, 1935 sever this railway. sever this library. Ethiopia is the country of the source of the Nile. Here rise the Atbara and the Blue Nile. In Ethiopia lies the great and beautiful Lake Tana, one of the sources of the Nile. This high land country has the commanding position over the low-lying Nile valley to the north; that is, Egypt. Not only does Ethiopia dominate Egypt in the opinion of military science, but when we turn to his history we learn that Egypt was repeatedly conquered by Ethiopia. And history repeats itself. In the period from 680 to 774 B.C., Ethiopian kings threatened Egypt. In 736 B.C., Planchi I of Ethiopia made a treaty with Egypt giving him control of all Egypt. His grandson, King Shabaka of Ethiopia, 715-103 B.C., united Ethiopia and Egypt under his crown. King Philopater of Ethiopia, 221-204 B.C., again attacked Egypt. Even in Roman times, Queen Candace of Ethiopia almost conquered Egypt and was repulsed by Caius Petronius us B.C. 24. Ethiopia is the natural position for attacking-Egypt. Gives Mussolini Control It is only 1,200 miles from Italian Tripoli to the Ethiopian border. Italy would certainly demand a land connection between Tripoli and Ethiopia instead of being forced to go through the Suez Canal. Italy would with Ethiopia control the Mediterranean and the Nile valley. Remember that we have only to turn to the Roman poets to find the Mediterranean called a Roman sea. With Ethiopia and Tripoli in their hands, the Italians will have Egypt centered off and connected with South Africa only by a slender thread. With the Mediterranean a Roman sea, the blood of those who died to make the British Empire would have been shed in vain. Muscolini's recent utterances reveal that he indeed wants Ethiopia for military purposes. NEW YORK — Calling Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell of Illinois, "a menace to the Negro race." the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a press release last Friday, severely condemned the only Negro now sitting in Congress for a reported attack of its policies. Congressman Mitchell was quoted in the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch (white) in an interview as saying to a reporter: "You can say that I believe everything the association does is vicious." At the time the Congressman's statement was said to have been made, he was in Norfolk, Va., on August 31, making a speech before the colored division of the Norfolk and Western Railroad Veteranh' Association. "Nearly everything the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does is vicious." Mitchell is reported as having publicly stated.

GRAD TALKS FROM ETHIOPIA Malaka Bayen Expresses Confidence in League in Radio Talk Speaking over a nation-wide hook-up from Addis Ababa last Saturday, Malaka Bayen, nephew of the Ethiopian Emperor, and graduate of the Howard Medical School gave a brief history of his country. Confidence in the League of Nations was expressed by the Ethiopian prince, and gratitude was expressed for those larger countries who have sent expressions of sympathy to his country, and who have expressed the hope that the difficulties between Italy and Ethiopia can be settled amicably. Ethiopia has been preparing for progress all the time that Italy has been preparing for war, Bayen told the radio audience, as he spoke of the Italian conflict of more than forty years ago. Bayen was graduated from the Howard Medical School last June. While here he lived at 1260 Columbia Road. Very recently it was rumored that he was the son of the Emperor, when word reached this country that the Ethiopian Emperor had a son registered at Howard University. A hasty check of the colleges and universities for students registered from Ethiopia revealed that there were only three students from Ethiopia in this country attending school. One was registered at Howard, one at Cornell and a third at Columbia. A report from the State Department that they had never been able to verify Bayen's statement that he was nephew of the Emperor lent credence to the rumor that he might be the son of the Emperor registered incognito at Howard University. Oscar A. Ryce Killed By Police in Speedng Automobile Funeral services for Oscar A. Ryce, 52, 2612 Wade Road, Southeast, were held last Thursday afternoon from the Matthews Memorial Baptist Church, with the pastor, the Rev. James T. Marshall, officiating. Burial was in Harmony Cemetery. Ryce, an employee in the War Department, was instantly killed last week when struck by a police car which was pursuing a speeder at the rate of 55 miles an hour, along Nichols Avenue, Southeast. At an inquest into the death of Ryce a coroner's jury exonerated Private G. A. Wood, white, of the Eleventh Precinct, driver of the death car, and returned a verdict of accidental death. Testimony was that the speeding police car had its siren wide open, when Ryce stepped from the curb into the path of the speeding machine. Officer Wood said he swerved his car but was unable to avoid hitting the man. Ryce was taken to Casulty Hospital by Wood and Private C. P. Rippergar, white, who was riding in the police car with Wood at the time of the accident. Ryce was pronounced dead upon his arrival at the hospital. Spying the speeding car in Congress Heights, the two officers gave chase, traveling at high speed toward the center of the city, it was testified at the inquest. The accident occurred in the 2600 block of Nichols Avenue, the speeder made his escape. Immediately upon his knowledge of the accident, Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assistant superintendent of police, ordered Wood's suspension from the force, pending action by the coroner's jury. Woods was restored to duty following the inquest. Ryce was employed in the Adjudant General's office of the United States War Department, and had been for the past thirty years. He was a native of Mississippi, having been born in Scottsville, fifty-two years ago. Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Lauzenia; a daughter, Charity, and two brothers, James and Joseph, all of this city. A HOMETOWN PAPER, OF, BY AND FOR WASHINGTONIANS.

The Rev. Fairfax F. King, pastor of Ebenezer Church, where Mrs. Monroe served as a church member and also financial secretary, delivered the funeral sermon. Largest Crown Present According to church officials, never before has there been such a huge assembly in Ebenezer for any purpose. Ministers of the Washington conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church had a representative number at the funeral. A blanket of flowers that partly covered the semi-circle pulpit served as a background for the bronze casket that bore the body of the church worker. Many people in the audience wiped tears from their eyes as the funeral cortege proceeded quietly t. the tunes of an organ. The Rev.

FUNDS AV'ILABLE TO AID IN POST- GRADUATE WORK Work to Be Provided Students Seeking Higher Education Funds have been available through the National Youth Administration to give part-time employment to college graduates who wish to pursue graduate and post-graduate work, but will not be able to do so unless part-time employment is afforded them. Aubrey Williams, white, director of the N Y. A. announced this week. In view of the present limited development of post-graduate work facilities for Negro students in certain areas, the N. Y. A. will reserve at its national administration headquarters a sum not to exceed five per cent of the allotments provided for students doing graduate work. This sum, Williams announced, will be reserved for the special encouragement of Negroes who have already completed one full year of graduate study. To receive this aid, students shall make application to the institutions of their choice in the regular manner. Orders have been sent out from the local headquarters to the universities, telling them to report all assignments of this special allotment to Negro students to the state director, who in turn will report to the National headquarters. The amount assigned will then be deducted from the fund being held on reserve. There are very few Negroes working on doctor's degrees.
