Former Champion Faces Biggest Obstacle of Comeback Campatgn; Louis and Baer Vary in Last-Minute Plans as Fight Night Nears
NEW YORK—An enthusiasm which has not been approached in the past ten years, and which seems to leap nearer the earth's ceiling each day that passes, has blanketed this city in preparation for the ring battle between Max Baer, white, former heavyweight champion of the world, and Joe Louis, some months since rated as Number One challenger for the crown.
Still six nights off as this is written (Wednesday), the fight has already attracted to the metropolis the attention of the nation—nay, the world.
By Tuesday night when the two contestants climb through the ropes at Yankee Stadium, New York will be reminiscent of Chicago on the twenty-second of September, 1927, when Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey met for the second time; or of Philadelphia in September 23, 1926, when these same two met for the first time.
It will be a throw-back to July 2, 1921, when Dempsey met Georges Carpentier across the river at Boyle's Thirty Acres. Or it will take on the aspect of this city on September 14, 1923, or July 21, 1927, the respective dates on which Demusey clashed with Luis Firpo and Jack Sharkey.
In other words, this city which has seen at some time or other performances and performers that are to be seen, will once again thrill to a boxing contest. This fact, augmented by the trainloads (See JOE LOUISE, Page 3)

General chairman of the Elks Convention Committee who was rebuked by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson last Saturday during an investigation into the committee's spending of finances during the grand lodge convention here last month.
DR. FISHER IS REBUKED BY WILSON
Appearing before the committee on arrangements for the Grand Lodge of Elks, which is conducting a probe into charges of irregularities in the handling of finances by committee officials. J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler told the committee that he was accepting no responsibility for any of its irregularities. The grand exalted ruler reminded the committee that he had given them suggestions to be followed for their own protection, but none of them were followed, he said.
Fisher Rebuked
Dr. Charles B. Fisher, general chairman, appointed by Wilson, was scored for not seeing to it that all members of the committee who were handing finances were placed under bond.
"I told you to have persons handling the committee's money post bond, but you didn't do it. I told you to get bids for your souvenir program before you had them printed, but you didn't do that either." Wilson told Dr. Fisher. "I am going to help you straighten out your difficulties all I can, but I am assuming no responsibility for your errors." the grand exalted (See DR. FISHER, Page 2)

Howard Says Fisher Had
No Authority to Contract;
"Will Catch Hell"
The general arrangements committee for the 1935 grand lodge convention and officials of the grand lodge last Saturday night began their probe into charges of irregularities in the handling of the committee's finances.
With a desire to go thoroughly into the charges, the general committee appointed, an investigating committee and gave them authority to collect all contracts made between any person or persons on behalf of the general committee on arrangements.
The committee on arrangements ordered the investigating committee to probe into the charges that money had been collected by officers of the committee which should have been turned over to the committee, which money the committee has never received.
Committee Named
The committee consists of two members appointed from each lodge and temple that had representation on the general committee. Members of the committee are as follows:
Morning Star Lodge: Dr. Leo 'Holton and Dr. J. J. Porter; National Capital Lodge: M. Wooten and Captain Arthur C. Newman; Forest Temple: Rosa Conley and Louise Lewis; Columbia Temple: Grace Jackson and Effie Pettis; National Capital Temple: Mr. Perry W. Howard and Mrs. Alonzo Brown.
What amount of money has been taken in, what amount has been spent, what debts are still owed, what the balance is on hand, and whether or not there is a deficit, are questions that the committee wants answered by the next Saturday night meeting, which has been called by them.
Fisher Faces Charge
Dr. Charles B. Fisher, general chairman of the committee, and Mishael Jones, executive assistant to Dr. Fisher, appointed by Dr. Fisher, were directly accused with the mishandling of funds and with issuing and signing contracts without the consent of the general committee.
"The contracts that this general committee has been made a party to are not worth the paper they are written on." Perry W. Howard, gyand legal adviser, told the committee.
"The committee doesn't intend to give anyone dictatorial powers, and if anyone has taken over dictatorial powers." Howard continued, "he is going to catch hell."

The Banneker branch of the Public Assistance Division will be closed between September 30 and October 15, it was announced by officer of the PAD this week. The closing of this branch will affect some 55 clerical workers and case workers, it was said. The branch also maintains some 3,000 clients. The latter group will be distributed to other sections, it was said.
The office force at the branch received letters last week stating that the branch would be closed and they were advised to take what ever annual leave due them and to make application for monies deducted for retirement purposes. The notices were signed by D. H. Reed, administrative assistant. Miss Margaret Wadsworth, supervisor of the branch, refused to give any information concerning the closing of the branch, but referred The Tribune to Miss Alice Hill, director of the District PAD.
Miss Hill stated that the personnel of the branch, would be transferred to other offices. However, some of clearical workers were notified that they would be dismissed outright. Some are trying to get jobs in the new return of the Works Progress Administration. None know definitely what they will do. With winter coming on many are desperate.
Needy Families Vegetables Work
Subsistence Gardens Assign Rolls; 240 Plots Colored
By BERNARD BRAXTON
The 500 subsistence gardens of families on the District relief rolls have yielded $30,060 worth of vegetables, Captain F. M Dent, supervisor of the gardens, reported this week to Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare.
The largest unit, consisting of 365 gardens, is a mile long, covering sixteen acres of Federal land at Benning Road and the Eastern Branch River. Colored families are cultivating 240 of them. Other gardens operated by colored clients include 54 in the 4800 block of Conduit Road, Northwest, and 65 at First and R Streets, Southwest.
Most of the gardens are yielding an abundance of string beans, lettuce, kale, cabbage, potatoes lima beans, sugar corn and other vegetables. Some plots are so productive that the families have more vegetables than the; require for their own daily use. In such cases, the families are disposing of the

At last it appears that the Board of Trustees of Howard University have decided that they no longer wish to experiment with "Harvardizing" the Howard Law School.
This attempt to integrate graduates of the Harvard Law School into the curriculum of the Howard Law School, and interject therein what is called the "Harvard Method." proved to be, in the long run, a "Communizing" of the Howard Law School.
The resignation—which many are led to believe was a "leave of absence"—tendered the Howard Board of Trustees by former Acting Dean Charles H. Houston, was readily accepted by the Howard Board, and a man with a little more of American spirit in him, named to succeed him in position, but not in activities
The reign of Dean Houston over the Howard Law School can be compared somewhat to the deceased Senator from Louisiana. Like the late Senator, Dean Houston surrounded himself with a group of Harvard (his alma mater) graduates, who, when he snapped his finger, would fall in line in the same manner that O. K. Allen and other Long henchmen would do when Husty snapped his finger. In other words Dean Houston had a group of "rubber-stamp" men the same as Huey had. Every proposal offered by the dean and rubber-stamped by his "yes" men, was offered with a view of "Harvardizing Howard."
Like Huey, Charlie sought popularity among the masses—the underprivileged—those who like a drowning man were grabbing for a straw. Anything that would make good publicity, Charlie Houston was in it wherever possible, even if it meant the neglect of his work at the law school.
Like Huey Long, he posed as a friend of the masses—the underdog.
Murder Case Brings Him to the Fore
The first example of this of note, and the instance wherein he became widely known, was the prominence he played in the Crawford Case of Leesburg, Va.
A plain, ordinary murder case, Charlie Houston leaped into the middle of it, became chief defense counsel for ignorant Crawford, and gained nation-wide publicity for picturing him as "a hungry dog crying for bread," resulting in George Crawford getting two terms of life imprisonment. This was Houston's first "big" case—a plain, ordinary murder case.
He later became a close friend of Bernard Ades, white, an acknowledged Communist leader, who became disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Maryland. This was another case that the eyes of the nation were on, especially the large number of Communists. Another instance where anyone who became mixed up in it would get publicity. Charlie Houston became counsel for Ades, represented him, resulting in Ades being again admitted to practice in the Courts of Maryland after a good verbal lashing by the presiding Judge. Ades and Houston later became bitter enemies. Ades charged Houston with not conducting the disbarment case properly. A string of vitilious letters were exchanged between the two. Now they don't speak to each other.
On another occasion he was found sitting on the platform with Ruby Bates, the white girl who helped frame the Scottboro Boys. Everyone who knew him was wondering what business he had sitting on the platform with one who should be a social outcast. To the utter dismay of those present, when time came for the introduction of be-spectacled Ruby Bates, Charlie Houston was on the floor delivering the introduction. This was another case receiving wide publicity, probably more than any case in recent years, not excluding the Hauptman Case.
But that wasn't all. A group of Reds, white and colored, presented themselves for registration, one Saturday night last winter, at one of the most swanky white hotels in the District. The management said he could accommodate the whites but not the colorii. The whites refused to be accommodated. Another publicity stunt and Charlie Houston didn't miss his opportunity to figure in it. He announced, without President Mordecai Johnson's apal, that they could hold their meetings in the Howard Law School the next day. The next lay was Sunday, mind you. See AS IT SEEMS Page 2)

surplus by canning part of it and by supplying friends and other needy families with fresh vegetables.
Clients are forbidden to sell the products from their gardens. Captain Dent said. They are merely making use of a wonderful opportunity to help themselves and others in need
With the surplus food commodities they receive from the relief warehouse, families cultivating gardens have a comparatively small food bill. The increased amount of fresh vegetables in their diet has also brought great improvement in the general health of these families.
In addition to the gardens, a 160-acre farm on the banks of the Anacostia River is being cultivated by relief clients. Some of the vegetables are sent to the relief warehouse, where they are given out to other clients. Along with many other products, over 44,000 ears of sugar corn have been distributed
Estimate, for last year placed the total value of vegetables raised in 800 relief gardens at $75,000. This year's total will fall short of this amount, as there is less need of this form of relief under the new work relief program which is expected to remove all employable persons from the relief rolls.

University of Virginia Heads Are 'Embarrassed' by Richmond Girl
RICHMOND. Va.-Miss Alice Carlotta Jackson, daughter, of a druggist in this city, has received a notice from Dean J. C.

Miss Jackson is a graduate of Virginia University and has studied at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. She wishes to pursue advanced studies in French. No provision is made by the state of Virginia for graduate work in any subject for colored students.
It is expected that the university board of visitors will deny Miss Jackson admission on grounds of "public policy" or some similar reason. It is expected then that she will request assistance from the Richmond branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

several worthy young men from Africa and to begin work there. Fourth — In the department of Religious Education steps were taken to furnish a well trained person to travel the church over, to lecture and teach best methods in Missionary work. The Council went on record as congratulating the white women of the south for their stand against lynching and their conise to help stamp the damnable curse out. It condemned the attitude of the U. S. Senators who had flaunted the Costigan-Warner Bill when it was up for passage as well as the aggression of Italy upon Ethiopia. The Council re-el-ced Dr. Hattie E. Coleman, president. M.E. B. Williams, of Dallas, Texas, vice president and Mrs. Arthur W. Womack of Indianapolis. Indiana secretary.
The meeting adjourned to meet in Denver, Colorado, in 1937.
LAKESIDE, Ohio, (ANF)—Two hundred young white Methodists from Northeast Ohio, meeting here at the Lakeside League Institute from August 18 to 25, at the conclusion of their study of race relations, made a strong unanimous attack upon the proposed separation of Negro Methodists in the new plan of merging the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Methodist South church groups. This plan which divides the U.S. into five geographic regions in which the members of all Methodist groups will merge in the forming of regional conferences, makes the distinction that Negro Methodists instead of uniting with other Methodists in these of geographic divisions, will form a separate distinct sixth region, which will include the Negro Methodists from all over the U. S.

NEW YORK (ANP) — Calling upon the Pope as the father of all Christians to issue a proclamation against Italy "forbidding his children from such a cruel and brutal attack on the peace-seeking Ethiopians," Archbishop E. M. Jack, of the United Orthodoxy Church of North and South America, including the West Indies, declared in a statement to the New York City committee of the American League Against War and Fascism that if "the Pope is the true successor of St. Peter, he should not fear a puny man's authority."
The statement of Archbishop Jack, issued after he had addressed a mass meeting of the Harlem branch of the American League at the St. James Presbyterian Church on the Ethiopian situation. Friday night, reads in part: "The Pope as the Father of all Christians should issue a proclamation against Italy forbidding his children from committing such a cruel and brutal attack on the peace-seeking Ethiopians. If the Pope is the true successor of St. Peter, he should not fear a puny man's authority. His conscience is his God. Therefore, his statement would outlaw Italy in her hazardous and unjustifiable activities against Ethiopia."

“A prominent Christian worker

‘Be Christian.’

Mahatma Gandhi in India. He an-

Missions in our own country.
Never was there a time when peo:
ple in our own country needed
help more than at this moment
Drought, unemployment, — floods,
and closing factories have thrown
thousands of families who former-
ly seraped along, over the subsis
tence line. Our home mission out
posts are very nearly scraped dry.
How can the mission church pay
any salary to the minister-mission
ary when they have nothing them
selves?
‘And so the mission headquarters
get pitiful letters. ..letters that
are never made pubic They are
letters of heartbreak and conrage.
“My husband cannot preach next
Sunday unless he gets a new
suit,” writes a frantic wife, “The
children have had to xtop going to
school because we have no shoes,”
explains another. These are not
people who have failed because
they were incompetent but men
and women who have chosen to
serve God in hard places.
Hospitals are beiag closed, and
babies who otherwise might’ have
tived, are being doonea to death.
Schools are closing down...when
we guarantee to all Americans a
right to “life, liberty, anc the pur
suit of happiness,” in our consti-
tution and assure them that all
men ave created equal! “Maybe,”
said one Indian sage. “But they
don't grow up equal!”
What can we vo? Write to
your board of home missions and
ask for one case woere yon can
he;p. Maybe you can collect
clothes for one family that needs
it, Maybe you can buy milk for
a nursery for a month, a year.
Maybe you can raise the money te
keep a small boy or girl in school.
‘Ack your board what family or
child you can adopt. Write to the
family. Get to knew them, Make
them your friends...and your re

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
There's been so much talk lately of this practice of going out on a limb for one boxer or the other preceding important fights, that I am beginning to believe that unless a writer steps up, takes his bow and takes a fing at his "number," he is pretty much out of step with the times.
With only five days remaining now ere Joe Louis, the Detroit Dropper, and Max Baer, the California Cackler, climb through the ropes at Yankee Stadium, New York, for their 15-round—or less—"Battle of the Busters," the nation's papers will be crammed with opinions as to the outcome of the tiff. In less than a week every newspaper in the country—from the biggest Metropolitan daily to the Pohick County Saturday Weekly Wash—will be naming the winner of a fight not yet fought, so many times, that the two principals will be so punch drunk from reading the accounts that by ring time they may not know the difference between Colonel Jake Ruppert's ballyard and the Metropolitan Opera House.
The last time this writer went on record as falling head over heels in love with a prizefighter, that latter, in his first fight, went on record as being the first legless boxer in the history of the sport. After squaring off with his opponent, my man stood on everything he had except his feet.
He took more positions—other than upright—than you could eye of the jointed tumblers. I immediately took my leave of the practice and have not been drawn back into it until now. That was many, many moons ago.
But when I see these guys whose names appear on the front pages of the big "rags" with all the adjectives that speak of greatness in the newspaper racket beside them, continually treading on the flimsy branches of the tree of fistiana, I get right encouraged.
And when I watch them reach their perches and turn around and saw the doggoned things off behind them. I commence to feel a darned sight better. Because if they can keep on picking the wrong man and remain on the front pages of their sheets, then I guess my selection won't be pointed at as something funny by readers of this column.
I think Joe Louis can hit Max Baer when the two meet. And I am reasonably certain that Herr Maxie is going to reach the jaw of the Brown Bomber. Now when this happens a fight will ensue. The third from the last word should have been made all cans.
So, I'm still wondering about the advisability of picking one or the other to larrup the other at Yankee Stadium come this Tuesday.
Let's see now. If I remember correctly, there was a guy once called Lee Ramage who did a little boxing from time to time. In fact, he did so much boxing for a time that he was rewarded with a ranking in the first ten of the country's heavyweights.
Well, Ramage, not so long ago that my cob-webbed mind doesn't recall, predicted that when Louis and Baer meet, the latter is going to be tempted at some time or other to poke his chin out tantalizingly in the direction of the Brown Bomber. He went on to say, while in this talkative mood, that when this happened someone—other than the former champion—would have to tell about it.
But I could go on forever quoting guys who have this and that to say about Louis, and others who can tell some nice things about Baer if they wanted to. I could write from now until Hallowe'en after next, but there'd be nothing definite I could arrive at. Now—where were we?

AND ANOTHER TRIBUNE SERVICE
THE TRIBUNE sports department would suggest to those of its readers who intend to see the Louis-Baer fight at the Yankee Stadium Tuesday, that use of automobiles after arrival in the big city will be impractical. Driving in New York is hazardous at all times for strangers, and with the congested conditions that may be expected in the vicinity of the Stadium the evening of the fight, it is very likely folks will find leaving their cars parked and LOCKED in Herslem most advisable. Subway trains will carry fight fans to 161st Street, which is only a short distance from the Yankee Stadium grounds.
WONDER ABOUT JOE LOUIS'S ABILITY TO GO 15-ROUNDS
Companion Question to "Can He Take It?" is "How Far is He Able to Go?"
POMPTON LAKES, N.J.-Another question involving Joe Louis, a companion question to "Can he take it?" seems to have cropped into the advance speculation on the September 24 battle between the Brown Bomber and Max Baer at the Yankee Stadium, New York. The question concerns Shuffin' Joe's ability to "go the route" in the event that neither he nor Madcap Maxie succeeds in chalking up a knockout. The impending brawl is listed for 15 rounds. Louis has never had to travel this distance. The only time he has been asked to was when he squared off against Primo Carnera—but he only required six frames in which to polish off the Vast Venetian.
10 Rounds Longest
The longest Louis has fought to date has been 10 sessions—and only four times has any scrap in which he has engaged lasted this long.
Baer, on the other hand, has already demonstrated his endurance by twice battling over the 20-round route out in Reno, first with Paulino Uzcudain, then with King Levinsky. He also went 15 stanzas with Jimmy Brgdock, and on ten occasions has gone 10 rounds. It was in the eleventh canto that he knocked out Max Schmeling.
Louis's ability to travel beyond 10 rounds is as much of a speculative proposition as his ability to "take it." He is as yet untested on both points.
Humphries to Announce Louis-Baer Fistic Go
NEW YODK—Joe Humphreys hasn't seen his last fight. The famous announcer just got through one tough fight himself but is back in shape again and will occupy his old place in the center of the ring to introduce Max Baer and Joe Louis beore the referee gives them instructions to be on their way in their scheduled fifteen round bout at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.
"I fought to win my own fight," said the popular Joe. "more because I didn't want to miss the coming fight, which I think will be one which will fill many pages of history. So here I am and in the usual way, may I say, 'may the best man win.'"

Expect Lively Betting in Louis-Baer Fistic Go
IT'S not always a dead pan that Joe Louis has to offer. On some occasions Joe, like any other boy, can break out in a smile. He has a sense of humor just like everybody else and a good story will find Joe departing from that frozen stare into smiles that are contagious. But that's only out of the ring. Once in the ring Joe is expressionless as a contented cow, no
HIT MAX BAER FOR HIS BRAGGING
Columbia, S.C., Daily Paper Bored by Boasting of Former Champion
COLUMBIA, S. C. (ANP) — Even in the South, the gentlemanly qualities of Joe Louis are appreciated in contrast to the boasting of Max Baer whom Joe Louis will meet Tuesday in New York. The editor of The State, local daily, is bored by the bragging Baer has been doing. He quotes Baer's boast to the effect that he is going to knock Louis out in two rounds, then asks: "What is working behind the low-brow to enable him to think such rot is a 'good play'? If he should win, this bragging cannot add to his popularity: quite the reverse. If he loses the jeers would be more numerous and louder. In that sort of ballyhoe there is nothing to gain and all to lose.
"Meanwhile, Joe Louis is saying nothing. Maybe there drifted up to Detroit that bit of Carolina coast philosophy heard some sixty years ago from a revered old colored man: 'Yes, son, but den 'member dis: Brag is a good dog, but Holdfas is bettul.'"
Joe Defies Jinx
That Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, holds no fear for the jinx which is reputed to travel hand-in-hand with the number "13" is evident when it is remembered that his Tuesday night match with Max Baer will be his thirteenth of the year.
Abe Lyman, White Orchestra Leader Gets $1,000 Down at 2 to 1 Odds
Nate Stiefel, co-proprietor of the Howard Theatre, late last week placed a $100 wager on Joe Louis to win over Max Baer at Yankee Stadium. Tuesday night, THE TRIBUNE learned yesterday (Wednesday).
NEW YORK—They are starting to talk betting on the fifteen round between Max Baer and Joe Louis which takes place at the Yankee Stadium on September. 24. so far, several thousands of dollars have been placed, most positively the $1,000 Ace Lyman, the famous band leader has put up against $2,000 that Max will be returned the winner.
Other bets have been made but Lyman was fortunate in getting

POMPTON LAKES, N.J.—Duke Ellington, Ruth Ellington, Duke's father, and a large party of friends were down to camp Monday to visit Joe Louis. Cab Calloway, who had motored down with Dr. Farrow H. Allen, of New York, were on the grounds when Duke and his party arrived.
Walter White, secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Roy Wilkins, editor Crisis magazine, and Dean Charles Houston of Howard Law College, were among the prominent visitors at the camp Saturday afternoon. Mr. White's two children, Jane and Walter, Jr. were also in the party.

But 8 to 5 or 9 to 5 are regarded by betting commissioners as the proper odds at this time, chiefly because most people are Louis-minded and others are awaiting the time to be sure that the former heavyweight champion is in the best of shape.
Even Money on Coast
When they are satisfied of that it is almost certain that the odds will be nearer to even money, as they are on the Coast now, and which is vouched for by Mark Kelly, sports editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, who relays the following information to Promoter Mike Jacobs:
"A lot of picture folks are going to take time out to go to New York to see the fight" writes Mark. "All I hear around here is the fight and unless I'm away out of line, there will be a ton of Baer

Joe Louis broke the attendance record at Dr. Bier's Health Training Camp here. Sunday, when more than three thousand persons packed into the arena to see the Brown Bomber in his workout against his sparring mates.
Daisy Gee, Annette Williams, and Francis Tate, the three young women who rode bicycles from Detroit to New York, arrived in camp Thursday and were the object of photographers and reporters.
It took the girl's just ten days to make the trip, making stops in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany and New York.
Since Mike Jacobs, promoter of the coming fight, has put the ban on Joe riding horseback before his battle with Baer, Roxborough and Black have been doing their tricks on the wild mustangs in this neck of the woods. Russell Williams has been accompanying them.
Detective George Webber, of New York, arrived in camp Sunday to act as Joe's bodyguard. His partner, Detective Henry Brown, will arrive Saturday. This force will be augmented by several state troopers the final days of training.

German is Angry
"Right now Baer is even money hereabouts and I doubt that Louis will be any better than 10 to 9 when the gong rings. I happen to know that Baer is all soured up on the Brown. Bomber and when Maxey gets riled you can have my share of him in the ring."
Mark, usually a nice, quiet fellow not usually given to any emotions is "het up" about this fight. He says that a look into the records fails to find any fight in 30 years that had the appeal of this one and, that not in 25 years, at least, have two real punchers met in the heavyweight ranks. Which accounts, according to the sports editor the great interest all over the world in the impending scrap. Tom (Rooster) Haumwood. De-

those heavy guns he carries encased in those boxing mitts. There is that left cocked and ready to shoot right from where it is and the position of his body to indicate that if that left misses its mark there will be that deadly right to put over. And, it makes no difference which one, for in either hand Joe carries the punch soporific, the force of which Mr. Baer will test a few nights hence.
CAVALIER WON'T PICK WINNER
Sparring Mate of Both Baer and Louis Declines to Make Selection
POMPTON LAKES, NJ—Having labored in training camps with both rivals, Paul Cavaler, veteran Paterson heavyweight, and one of the smartest, shiftiest boxers in the ranks of the big 'uns today, should be able to speak, with authority on the Max-Baer-Joe Louis controversy.
But Paul cannot quite seem to make up his mind which of the two, in his opinion, will win, Madcap Max in his or Shuffin' Joe.
"It's a tough fight to pick," he says. "The two men are of widely contrasting styles." Td say, offhand that Bacor, the harder hitter, but Louis is the more accurate. Max just wins up and lets go with everything he has. Joe is more deliberate. He's the most deliberate boxer I've sparred with since Tunney.
Like Gene, he doesn't believe in wasting anything. He makes every move count. But he lets more punches go than Tunney. He's one of the busiest big fellows I've seen. Always shuffling in, hobbing and weaving, both hands cocked and ready to go. You cannot afford to relax for a second with him.
"Both Baer and Louis can hit, though Joe is a lot tougher to reach with a clean punch. A moving target always is. Baer is wide open, and a good boxer hasn't any trouble getting to him. But Max is tough, and stand up well under a stiff punch. Of course, he's never been tagged by one who hits as hard as Louis."
Louis Quoted at 8 to 5; Is Sure to Enter Ring Favorite Over Californian
Louis is the better of the two men. Hammond's certified check for that amount has reputedly been in the hands of a New York betting commissioner since shortly after the Brown Bomber arrived in the metropolis for training preparations.
Ettore Again
PHILADELPHIA, (ANP)—Larry Haynes, Los Angeles heavyweight whose stock hit the sky when he knocked out Tony Cancela, lost another decision here last Wednesday night in the Phillies ball park, to Al Ettore. Italian battler, after twelve rounds. Haynes was the favorite in spite of Ettore's previous victory.

MAXIE'S CAMP IS SURE OF BEATING LOUIS TUESDAY
MAXIE'S CAMP IS SURE OF BEATING LOUIS TUESDAY
German's Air of Confidence Is Keynote of Feeling at Speculator
SPECULATOR, N. Y.—One only has to view Max Baer and his retinue in a before-training scene in the dressing quarters here to believe reports that no lack of confidence for victory against Joe Louis at the Yankee Stadium, Tuesday exists.
In fact, as Baer's meeting with the Brown Bomber impends it is quite noticeable that, to a man, the former heavyweight champion cann becomes redolent of transcendent assurance for only the best results on the night of the battle.
Scoffs at "Killer"
Baer, himself, has suffused his entire camp with that feeling. For many days now his men have heard him talking only optimistically of his coming affray with Louis. Usually Max does most of his thinking and most of his talking about the bout while donning his boxing clothes before the work-out. Before a crowded room the other day Max was particularly effusive.
"So Louis is the 'killer,' eh!" he bellowed. "We'll see just how much of a 'killer' he is in that ring. Incidentally, whenever I meet him from now on I'm going to rib him by calling 'the Killer.' That's the way I'm going to greet him at weighing in time at the Commission. I might even take more than a playful hook at him just to show him who is going to be boss in the ring."
Replica of Max Baer in Joe Louis Training Camp
POMPTON LAKES, N. J.-Salvatore Ruggerillo, Italian giant on the Joe Louis staff of sparring partners, packs an exact duplicate of the right hand delivery which is admittedly the best punch Max Baer will have to offer at Yankee Stadium Tuesday. Possessor of a savage jaw breaking right which at one time promised to carry Ruggerillo to the top of the pugilistic ladder, his daily jousts during these closing days of training, with Louis should furnish experts with some sort of a line on how the "Brown Bomber" will react to Mad Maxie's "fast one."
Hill to Describe the Louis-Baer Fight
Edwin C. Hill, white; famous globe trotter and news commentator, will handle the descriptive or "color" announcements during the coast-to-coast broadcast of the Max Baer-Joe Louis fight at Yankee Stadium, New York, Tuesday night, it was announced by Hearst newspaper syndicate officials early this week. The broadcast will be brought to local listeners over both Stations WRC and WMAL. Starting time is set for 9 o'clock.
Louis Loyal
POMPTON. LAKES, N. J.—Something of Joe Louis's loyalty was revealed in the conflicting reports of his impending marriage to Miss Marva Trotter of Chicago. At first Joe turned reporters off and then even went so far as to deny the Associated Press report of the engagement. What he wanted to do was not to deny the engagement, but to give the Chicago Tribune which gave him his start in the pugilistic world the first opportunity to make the announcement.

W. D. Elam, principal of the school, hopes that every parent who has a child in the Parker-Gray School, and every friend, will set aside a few moments on the above date and attend this get-together meeting. A delightful program is being arranged, and refreshments will be served.
Work on the Lyles-Crouch School continues each day but no definite date for the opening has been announced by T. C. Williams, superintendent of the Alexandria City Schools.
Plans are under way to give to the children of the local schools toxoid for the prevention of diphtheria, according to Dr. Lewis W. Schaffer, health department head. All school children who have not been innoculated are given cards to take to their parents for signatures and approval, if they desire their children to take advantage of toxoid. He urges all parents to have their children innoculated, and safeguard them against diphtheria. There is no cost or fee for the services rendered. The toxoid will be given sometime in October since it takes about three week to distribute cards and receive the approval of the parents.
The distribution of cards is in charge of Miss Sarah Painter, school nurse, and Miss Ora Smith, FERA nurse.

Capital Transit is no longer operating street cars beyond Rock Creek Loop (Rock Creek Bridge). Service between the Loop and upper Connecticut Avenue is now given by bus lines over the stretch of Connecticut Avenue from Calvert Street to the Circle, with buses which go on to Chevy Chase Lake, Kensington and Garrett Park
Patrons who formerly boarded street cars on 7th Street or U Street which ran over Calvert Street Bridge and beyond now will find a convenient transfer point at Rock Creek Loop to or from the Connecticut Avenue buses. In addition to the car lines using the loop as a terminal and running over U Street and down 7th to the Wharves and the line from the Loop over U Street and New Jersey Avenue to the Navy Yard, a new car line is being operated between the Loop and 9th and E Streets, N.W., using 11th Street between U and E Streets.
Many patrons who live in the Southeast or Southwest sections may find it more convenient to board a Connecticut Avenue bound bus in those sections of town than to ride street cars to the Loop and there transfer to a bus.
his bus line, which runs between Anacostia and Chevy Chase Circle, goes by way of Nichols Avenue and Anacostia Bridge to 11th Street, 11th to K Street, K to Virginia Avenue, Virginia to 4th Street, 4th to E Street, E to Canal, Canal to 2nd (Southwest), 2nd to Maryland Avenue, Maryland to 6th Street, 6th to E Street (N.W.), E to 13th Street, 13th to H Street, H to 17th Street, 17th to Connecticut Avenue, the Avenue to Chevy Chase Circle.

SAYS HUBBY CUT UP HER CLOTHES AND BEAT HER
Mrs. Darnella G. Dickenson Seeks Maintenance From Welfare Worker
Accusing her husband, Irby L. Dickenson, 29, 226 Indiana Avenue, of having cut up nine dresses belonging to her, and of having beaten her in less than a year of marriage, Mrs. Darnella G. Dickenson, 27, 1901 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, filed suit for maintenance, late last week.
Attorney George A. Parker, counsel for Mrs. Dickenson, entered her bill in equity branch of the District Supreme Court, Friday.
According to the petition, Mr. Dickenson, an employee of the Board of Public Welfare, was married to her on January 24 last, at Arlington, Virginia.
They lived together until June, when, in a frenzy, Mr. Dickenson allegedly attacked his wife, beating her about the face and body and making her nose bleed. She was compelled, Mrs. Dickenson avers, to leave their home and seek refuge at the house of a friend. She says she and her husband became reconciled on July 1, she returning to live with him after his continued promise to behave. Two weeks later, however, Mrs. Dickenson says, her husband gave vent to his anger by cutting up 10 dresses, nine of which were hers and one of which belonged to a friend.
AS IT SEEMS
(Continued from Page 9)
(Continued from Page 9)
Several "yes" students were awakened from their slumber, told by Houston to be at the school Sunday morning early to, arrange the school's Moot Court for the accommodation of the Reds. The boys responded. They received good compensation for their services. It came from the dean's pocket. It was worth it to the dean.
Sunday morning and afternoon, yea Sunday night, Howard Law School was a seething mass of downright Communistic activity. Red literature was on sale. A booth for the sales was erected right at the entrance so the entrants couldn't miss it. They didn't. Howard Law School was being "Harvardized."
Those interested in the school realized that this volume of extra-curricula activity being carried on by Houston was taking away much of his time which should be devoted to the development of the Howard Law School—to Howardizing Howard instead of Harvardizing it. Houston was full-time employed by the school.
For the Crawford case it took a full week of actual appearance in the Leesburg Courtroom, to say nothing of the previous weeks spent in preparing the case which sent Crawford to the penitentiary for life.
During the past school year, the dean left the school in the middle of the year on a tour for the N.A.A.C.P. He was away practically a month. No one was substituted for him at

the law school on either occasion.
When he returned from the N.A.A.C.P. mission, the dean found that the students had planned a strike in order to have one of his "rubber-stanps" ousted from the faculty. A white rubber stamp at that.
Quickly Houston snapped his fingers and several of his "yes" students, for the most part wards of the school, heeded his call, threw a monkey wrench into the plans for a strike, got a sufficient number to agree to remain in school, that a successful strike wasn't possible.
His Influence Still Felt in the School
The evil which the students were seeking to extinguish still remains in the school, and in addition another evil just as great, has cropped up—the newest addition to the faculty. Had the students carried out their threat to strike, the first evil would have been eliminated. Now they find themselves face to face with the task of having both of the undesirable men on the faculty ousted. One a white man from Yale, and the other a man of color from the famous Harvard University.
A graduate of the Harvard Law School, class of 1934, Bernard S. Jefferson was brought immediately to the Howard Law School for the year 1934-35, by Charlie Houston. The only court room he had ever seen was the moot court of Harvard Law School. There he was tea-thing Criminal Law at Howard. He hadn't even passed a State Bar Examination when he was brought to Howard.
So close to his elementary school work was he that he still had the idea that at least one-third of the students in his class must fail. So cocksure was he that he had the correct theory that he often boasted that only two-thirds of his class would pass. "One-third must fail," he said, despite the fact that he likewise boasted that his subject Criminal Law, was the easiest course in the school.
Stoogie Make Majority Of Law Class Fail
Students in his class who thought he was joking, found out when the final grades were in that he was not insincere, that he really saw to it that just about one-third of his students failed. He believed he had to fail that many to hold his job. The students will show him differently.
Equally as foolish was his declaration that no student in his class could make an "A" grade, the course he termed the easiest in the school. Yet, one of the students in the course in Criminal Law made a grade of 37 in the Law of Contracts—a course which all acknowledge as being the hardest course in the school, and made more aggravating by the manner in which it is taught—by its white professor—the one students planned a strike to have dismissed.
What the newly elected dean will do to break down the idea of "Harvardizing" Howard is a question of great speculation. It is some consolation to know that he at least is not in accord with Harvardizing it in the way that it has been conducted in the past.
A graduate of the University of Iowa, and a member of the Order of the Coif of that school, it may be that students at the school will get a new deal. It may require "Iowa-izing" Howard. If that method is one iota better than the previous method, this columnist says, "LET'S IOWA-IZE HOW-ARD" Selah.
Death of Wife Ends Suit For Separate Maintenance
Because of death, a petition filed by Mrs. Mary E. Coates, 2507 Alabama Avenue. Southeast, was dismissed Tuesday in District Supreme Court by Justice Jennings Bailey, when Henry Coates, Navy Yard employee told the court of the death of his wife on August 26.
Mrs. Coates had asked the court to grant her slimmy and separation from her husband, because of cruelty and failure to support the home.
DR. FISHER
(Continued from Page 1) ruler said. Wilson scouted all rumors and newspaper reports that he was in any way responsible for the committee's shortage of more than $4,000. It was recalled by the grand cxalted ruler that he put up money out of his own pocket to start the committee off. All of the badges used by the general committee were paid for out of Wilson's pocket, at a cost of $394. When Columbia Lodge to which Wilson belongs, defaulted in paying their portion of the committee's $1000 guarantee required by the Grand Lodge, Wilson paid his lodge's share out of his personal funds.
Propaganda "Rediculous"
None of the money advanced by Wilson has been returned to him, he said, with exception of a check for $24, as part payment for the badges purchased by the grand exalted ruler. This statement was verified by Dr. Fishe, Secretary Robert Ogle, and Treasurer Henry S. Washington. "It is ridiculous then." the Grand continued, that persons. not members of this committee, should spread propaganda by word of mouth and through the press, implicating me in this committee's affairs."
Wilson told the committee that money from the grandstand seats, used in the parade, went to the Grand Lodge because of the interpretation of the Congressional bill, by Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor.
Money. Goes To. Order
Howard interpreted the bill as providing that money derived from grandstand seats should go to the order, and not the general committee. Some members of the committee feel that the finances derived from the sale of the seats should have gone to the general committee to help defray its expenses. The committee was told last Saturday night that if there was a wrong interpretation of the bill, the Grand Exalted Ruler would direct the Grand Secretary, James E. Kelley, to draw a check on the Grand Lodge in the amount of $1900.37, the amount said to have been given the Grand Lodge as its share from the sale of seats.
Howard told the committee that the Washington Blexcher Company had charge of the seats, with the understanding that the Grand Lodge was to receive thirty per cent, less income tax less $50 which was deducted for the erection of the reviewing stand for the grand Exalted Ruler and his party. The total amount taken in from the seats was $890.25. Howard reported, of which amount the committee received $100.37.
Wilson told the committee that he was going to insist that they clear up their financial problems, and that he wanted a thorough investigation of the charges that the finances had not been properly handled.
Should Go To Jail
"If anyone has mishandled the funds, or comes up short. I think we should exhaust all our remedies to have that person get straight with this committee. After you have exhausted all remedies, and then can't get the money, the person responsible should go to jail," Wilson told the committee.
From their questioning of the committee officials, members of the Grand Lodge cabinet made it known that they were not going to have any "monkey business" about the committee's finances. They clearly indicated that they were not to cover up any of the shortage or the persons responsible for it if there is a shortage.
Another meeting has been called for next Saturday night, at which time the investigating committee and the auditing committee will make their reports.
If all accounts are not straight by the next meeting, the committee will, at that meeting, decide whist action it will take to get them straight.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 21, 1985
"Talking 'em Over" Radio Sport Feature to be Made Longer
Plans for enlargement of the "Talking 'em over" sports broadcast were being discussed early this week by Sam Lacy. Tribune sports editor and conductor of the feature, and sponsors of the program. A half-hour broadcast, to take the place of the present fifteen minute affair, is slated to begin October. 2. The feature, which deals with Negro athletes and athletics and which is the first of its kind not only in Washington but in this section of the country as well, has gained in popularity since it was inaugurated on August 14.
Enters Seventh Week
Last night's (Wednesday) broadcast was the Sixth. In the month and a half of its duration the feature has aroused more public response than any single promotion venture yet attempted by this paper. Fm mail telephone calls and personal comments have been received in a steady flow since mid-August. The "Talking 'em Over" feature is heard each Wednesday

"If she has married, she hasn't told me. She left for school last Wednesday, and I suppose she is there now." he added.
Hunter College Student
Davis's sister, Dorothy, also scouted reports that her brother had married the attractive Hunter College student by telling the Tribune that there wasn't anything to the rumor.
The Tribune learned that Davis and Miss Wormley went to Elkton, procured the license, but, because of some trouble in getting a minister to perform the ceremony, postponed the wedding.
Davis, a research assistant in the United States Department of Labor, was graduated from Williams College with honors, having been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He received the degree of master of arts from the University of Wisconsin in 1934.

He left a note which stated that he had reached the end of the rope. A request was contained in the note that there be no funeral, no flowers, and that the body be cremated and the ashes thrown away.
'The only request contained in the note that was honored was Hughes' request that the body be cremated. The body was taken to the crematory following the funeral.
Enlogized by Bar
Charles Williams, a member of the Washington Bar Association, of which Hughes was the first president, paid a glowing tribute to the deceased attorney at the funeral. Following his eulogy, a resolution from the bar association was read. A solo, "Abide With Me," said to have been Hughes' favorite song, was sung by Mrs. J. W. Bundrant.
Only members of the family and very close friends of the attorney were permitted to attend the funeral. Dr. William Hughes, brother of the deceased, did not come from his home in Richmond to "attend the funeral."
Hughes was a graduate of the Howard Law School, having received both the bachelor and master of law degree from that institution. He was the first president of the Washington Bar Association, and chairman of the trustee board of the Trinity Baptist Church at the time of his death. His ashes came from the crematory Saturday, and were taken to Richmond Monday night where they were interred in the family plot, in that city.

Popularity Continues
Increase of the time limit of the program to 30 minutes was deemed advisable when it was learned that there was such a growing interest in the feature. The new program will include dance music by leading colored orchestras. Recordings by Fats Waller, Noble Sissle, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, etc. will be inserted between sport shorts. This, it is believed, will prove an attraction for more female listeners as well as remove element of monotony from the broadcast.

WHITE MAN IMPLICATED IN MURDER
Henry Edwards Says Hugh Hummer Killed Aged Fairfax Farmer
FAIRFAX. Va. — Following an alleged confession by Henry Edwards, 53, admitting participating in the murder of Thurman Brush, white, aged farmer of the Falls Church section, who was found with his body in a pool of blood and his skull crushed, near his home several weeks ago. Edwards and Hugh Hummer, the latter white, were arrested and held at the Fairfax County jail in connection with the case, but were later removed to Alexandria City Jail after reports were being rumored that an angry crowd was gathering in Merrifield neighborhood for a proposed lynching of Edwards. Edwards is alleged to have made a statement Sunday in which he admitted killing Brush after he and Hammer are alleged to have beaten the aged farmer in an effort to learn where he hid his money.
According to Edwards he and Hummer plotted to rob Brush the

day preceding the murder and about 3:30 the next day, Edwards met Hummer in a woods near Brush's home, alongside a path.
As Brush walked by, Edwards stated that Hummer stepped out behind him, and struck him with a stick, knocking him on the ground, and Hummer are alleged to have demanded of Brush where he kept his money, and the aged farmer pleading mercy, told him.
Edwards said that then he watched Brush while Hummer went in search of the money, and when Hummer returned, he threw Brush's body in a cluster of honey-suckles and then picked up large rock and crushed his skull.
Hummer Denies Story
Hummer denies any participation in the murder and sticks to his story that he found Brush's body as he was returning home from a hunting trip. Mrs. Hum-

The family of Edwards stated to a reporter for The Tribune that Edwards is suffering from a streak of insanity believed to have been brought about by his taking some strong and powerful medicine.
Members of his family said the medicine turned the man's hair white and since that time Edwards has never been in his right mind.

Smarting under rapid fire of
questions pumped to him by Judze
W. C. Hueston, grand commission-
er of edveation, Dr. Fisher denied
that George Steward was a fic
fitious name, stating that he lived

“By what authority did you en-
ter into @ contract with any amuse
ment company for this orgenisa:
tion?” Huestion put to Fisher.
Fisher’ replied ‘that bis authority
was’ in his position as general
chairman, since the letting of con-
ter.
Fisher was severe.y grilled by
Dr, Leo Holton and William B.
Harris, exalted ruler of Morning
Star Lodge, in connection with the
establishment of the offices in the
Masonic Tempe.
Harris reminded Fisher that
Morning Star Lodge had set‘ up
offices in its home for the general
committee offices. ani asked why
it was necessary to rent three of-
fices in the Masonic Temple for
the general chairman and equip
them with nine telepnones. Fisher
made no reply to the question.
Jones Flayed
|| The barrel of questions fired at
Dr. Fisher came on the heels of
charges made by Robert Ogle, gen-
eral secretary, that he threatened
to resign his $150-x-month posi-
tion as secretary because of the
“artificial financial manipulations”
on the part of the general chair-
man and the executive assistant.
“I knew of Mishael Jones's rep-
utation in the city,” Ogle said,
“and I did not want to be asso-
ciated with a man of his character,
Jones was not a member of the
general committee and had no busi-
ness acting as executive assist-
ant.”
Ogle to'd the committee ‘that
Jones's name appeared on the fi-
nancial list of members of the
committee, which was carried in
the souvenir program, vet he wats
not a member of the committee
nor had ‘he paid his tax of $1.
Finances Muddled
Of the thousands «f dollars that
Dr. Fisher reported had been taken
in and spent in the interest of the
grand lodge, Ogle told the com
mitiee that on!y $1,113.75 passed
through the office of the secretary:
treasury, despite the tact that the
rules of the committee provide
that all funds collected from any
source in the interest and behalf
of, the committee shuuld be turned
over to the ‘secretary within 24
hours after it had been received:
Of the money taken in through
the secretary's office, checks were
drawn on the fund amounting to
$1,013.75, Ogle reported Ogle's
report tailied with that of the gen-
eral treasurer.
Ogle reported that the balance
of $100 was in the Industrial Bank,
Total receipts for the grand dance,
Ogle reported to be $375.50, with
$166.50 being disbursed. The bal-
ance of $209, he said. was at his
home in a metal box and the key
was in his clerk’s pocket.

ADAMS
(Continued from Page 1)
agreed on the ninety-day suspen-
sion.
Compromise Reached
At the last meeting of the board
of edveation. Dr. Beilou had asked
for the dismissal of Adams on the
recommendation of Dr. Wilkinson.
The recommendation was referred
to the personnel committee.
Complainant Was Studenc
Adams had been charged by @
student, Harry J. Carter, with ase
saulting him. A member of the
United States Army Reserve,
Adams is said to have appesred
at the ennual cadet drills last
Jene wearing his uniform. Carter
is said to have called him a “Boy
Scout,” which was resented by
Adams, resulting in the alterca-
tion.
Though the matter ha! been in-
vestigated by school officials and
brourht to the attention of the
board of education, Adams had
not been formerly charged st the
meeting of the board last week.
Tuesday he was charged on
three counts, as follows:
Conduct unbecoming a teacher;
with an offense sgainst good or-
der and with the use of corporal
punishment.
Violated Three Rules
All the acts. the charges state.
were in violation of the by-laws
and rules of the besrd of educa-

1 to 5, inclusive.
‘The ‘charges were preferred by

Dr. Wilkinson conducted an in-

Ballou Criticized
The he:ving was not held, how-
ever, when counsel for Adams told
the committee that Dr, Frank W.
Ballou, superintendent of public
schools, had not served Adams
with formal charges. she rules
of the board require thei charges
must be in the hands of the de-
fendant at least five days before
trial is begun, the attorneys point-
ed out.
Henry Gilligan. member of the
boxrd, criticized Dr. Ballou for
waiting until Septen.ber 17 to
bring formal charges against
Adams.
“The board should have notified
him long ago, if the incident oc-
enrred in June,” Gilligen said.
“Mr. Adams is entitled to a speedy
trial, and if counsel for him
wishes to waive the 5-day rule, I
think the hoard shonld be willing
to suspend the rules.” Gilligan
said.
Fail to Get Copies
More criticism was cast at Dr.
Ballou by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson,
who deciaved that boasd members
had not received copies of the
charges, und therefore did not
know for what they were trying
Adams. Dr. Johnson. said that
‘Adains and members of the boar:

charges before proceeding into 3

should be given ample time to pre
pare a defense.

‘it, in those fights mentioned above
the returns surpassed the million

Even the presence of the 1933

before the fight the Harlem and
“Sugar Hill” districts bordering
‘on the vicinity in which the Stad-

nightly topic, the match between
the Detroit Devastator and the Cal-
ifornia Clouter.
Plans were already completed by
officials of the Twentieth Century
Sporting Club, promoters of the
fight, whereby an even larger corps
of newsnsner men than attended
the Louis-Carnera battle may be
cared for. More than 400 applied
for press accommodations at that
meeting on June 25, Inst.
Both Men Ready
The German's handlers an-
nounced early this week that Herr
Maxie will probably finish off his
training grind. begun August 24,
on Surday. Beer will probably
motor down from Speculator in
company with his wife, father and
brother on the Sabbath. The form-
er has already made it known that
she does not wish to see the fight
though «he hax complete confidence
in her husband's ability to stop the
Brown Bomber.
Inasmuch as Louis is only a
stone's throw away from the scene

that the Detroit youngster wil! not

You and Your Neighborhood
Look about you. What does your neighborhood lack? It is up to you and your neighbors to agree upon your needs and then agitate for the remedy. Citizenship carries the right to be heard and to vote. Living in Washington, you are denied the right to vote; but that merely makes the right to be heard doubly strong.
Of course, if two or three different groups want different things in any neighborhood, they defeat all of them. But by conference and sometimes by compromise you may agree upon the most necessary things and get them one by one.
Complaining about neglect is a double fault. You neither get what you need nor use your time in the best manner. Complaining because some fellow hogs all the time at a citizens' meeting is equally wasteful. Just see some of your neighbors before the meeting and co-operate in "putting through your proposition."
In every section of this city a civic organization exists, and its meeting place and time may be known from the columns of the Tribune. It is your duty to your property, your family, your responsibility as an American citizen, and your city and nation to attend the meetings and help to direct the affairs. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and no man is free who does not interest himself in those things for which he pays taxes—police and fire protection, transportation, schools, tax-rates, nuisances, recreation and health, etc.
Those who know the value of being "represented" should join and attend the civic association in the neighborhood at once.

Get Into Some School
One of the tragedies of the present employment situation in America is to see the white boys, girls, men and women holding jobs formerly held by people of our group. Complaint is useless. Prepare for the future! Do that by using some of the time you now waste to study for the future. This is a personal problem. It will do no good to use the old excuse, "I wish I had studied when I was in school."
In one bureau of the emergency setup of the government every person is a graduate of some kind of school, with a degree. Their salaries range from $860 to $2,600 a year, and they have spent time and money to be able to earn that.
Get ready for school now! The tendency to wait until schools open and then enter because you see so many people moving in that direction is merely animalesque—like a herd of cows. Thoughtful people ask when and where schools will be held, day and evening, and prepare to be there when the registration begins. Under modern plans there is no time wasted, and no arrangement to turn back for laggards.

Under modern plans there is no time wasted, and no arrangement to turn back for laggards.
Public schools, private schools and classes aided by government funds are to cater to the needs of the people who join them with serious intent and the will to keep on keeping on. Once you enter, stay in as if life depended upon it. Certainly the unemployed hordes show how hard it is to make a living even if educated, and how almost impossible if not.
No one is too old to learn, and your sensitivity to what is going on around you depends upon your own interest and attentio to that thing. Society educates only those who answer its gestures.
When school doors open, it means "Come in!"
Let Us Sharpen Our Wits
There is every indication that the Constitution is to be the issue in the coming campaign. Lines are being drawn by those who have security and mean to preserve it against those who struggle, hope and yearn to make the grade. Best minds will be paid to use every kind of publicity to support those who wish power. It has always been that way since man's earliest days, and man does not change his nature. Five hundred years before Christ the people in Rome were so oppressed by the men and families with wealth, land and power, with seats in the Roman Senate to enact laws and put men in

Five hundred years before Christ the people in Rome were so oppressed by the men and families with wealth, land and power, with seats in the Roman Senate to enact laws and put men in jail for debt, that the masses seceded from Rome and moved to build themselves another Italian city. This strike caused tribunes to be elected to protect the people against power. The tribune had the right to veto or forbid Later, the people had ten tribunes the senate.
Later, the people had te ntribunes and succeeded in having the laws inscribed on bronze tablets and hung in plain sight for all men to read. One such law, the habeas corpus, comes down to us today.
One door of the house of the tribune was always open so that the poor man might have refuge from powerful enemies.
The coming discussion of the Constitution concerns every man, woman and child among us, and wits must be sharpened by keeping the Tribune before you and reading it for your accurate information.
By your support, the Tribune is your guardian, and will say "veto" to any proposition that tends to take away what few rights you now have.

Did the Supreme Court Err?

Was the Texas Primary Case Properly Brought?
Was Another Dredd Scott Decision Made to Discipline Colored Americans for Voting Democratic?
The laws of the United States which defend your rights under the Constitution.—Section 52 chapter 3, Title 18, U.S.C.A. (Revised Statutes 5510)—Read as follows:
"Whoever under color of any law, statute, ordinance, or custom, wilfully subjects, or causes to be subjected, any individual of any State, Territory or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities, secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such inhabitant being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." (Adopted by Congress March 4, 1909). By obiter dictum in an earlier case, Mr. Justice Cardozo advised the Texas Stat Democratic Committee how to proceed to meet the approval of the Supreme Court in barring Negroes from voting in Texas' Democrati primaries.

Our Readers' Opinions
"Location Life" and its effects upon Africans interestingly told by James G. Coka. To the Editor:
"Location Life" in South Africa, undermines the moral stamina of Africans and accelerates their rapid demoralization. They are compelled to go to unhealthy ghettoes because of the segregation policy of the Government. Even where they have some means to purchase properties in towns, the prices are exorbitantly high in comparison with their earnings and thus it is impossible for them to do so. In some cases plots of land are offered for sale at inconvenient distances from their work. To this day, Africans do not like to dwell in towns. But within the vortex of industrialism, they have not choice of residence. They have no place to leave their families while at work. Moreover such life, even if possible, is not conducive to healthy family cohesion. Due to land expropriation they have no alternative but to take their families along with them to their centers of work and owning to meager wages, families are obliged to contribute to their income by their earnings. Women and children alike go to work. These factors decide the dwelling of Africans in urban areas.

Locations are built by municipalities. They consist of two types. In the Orange Free State, greater parts of the Cape and some parts of the Transvaal, the municipalities hire out lands for building sites. In Natal, Johannesburg and the rest of the country municipal authorities build houses for which inhabitants pay heavy rentals in order to reimburse the outlay which is higher than would ordinarily be because "White Labour" is used.

By COLEMAN G. DUCKETT
Think not, if you come to me,
Through the veil of vanished years
You should find me utterly
Wilted in regretful tears.
Vain is woman; it would give
Joy to you because I wept;
This I'd deny you as I live,
And dim the dream I may have kept
Locked in my inmost heart; the song
I strummed to you is silent now;
And no more waking of that long
Drawn wailing to a shattered vow.
These my uncherished tokens; you
May see in these but useless things:
Here on my breast a sprig of rue,
And there a lute with broken strings!

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 21, 1735
Kelly Miller Discusses
Ethiopia Stretches Forth Her Hands
There is probably not another nation but that would do the same thing or a similar thing if confronted by the same national circumstances.
"Might met right on the archway which spans the roof of the world. 'Make way for me' said right, 'I am the first born son of God.' 'You might be his first son after his marriage' responded might, 'but I am the illegitimate son of his lusty youth.' Might thereupon struck right in the forehead who fell sprawling headlong through the dome of the Cathedral of Rheims where he lays helpless until this very day."
Thus wrote Elbert Hubbard in the last issue of the "Philistine" before he went down on the ill-fated Lusitania. Does right make might or does might make right? Ask Mussolini and the League of Nations. Throughout the history of the world down to the year of our Lord 1935, no nations has heeded moral restraint in face of national necessity.
This nation took America from the Indians. Hawaii from the natives, Texas from Mexico, The Panama Canal Zone from Colombia, Puerto Rica and the Philippine Islands from Spain without any great heed to moral niceties. Woodrow Wilson sought to bring international conduct under moral control but the United States would not have it so.
The moral condemnation of the world is now being focused against Mussolini and his imperial ambition for colonial expansion in Africa. Mussolini's policy and purpose is as raw and ruthless as that of any pirate in quest of the booty of innocent ships.

THE POPE SANCTIONS MUSSOLINT'S PLANS
Is not Italy a Christian nation, under moral sway of the Pope who holds the key to Heaven. Is Christianity an effective influence in the practical conduct of men and nations in the world today? Ask Adolph Hitler. Is England, France, or even the United States one whit better than Germany or Italy if moral obstacles stand in way of their imperial purpose? Would we allow Mexico or Haiti to stand in our way in safeguarding the Panama Canal? Has England shown any moral scruples in building up her far-flung empire? Then with what moral consistency can these nations, with a brigand record, condemn Italy for now attempting to repeat their record of conquest and slaughter to expand her own dominion?
Let us give the devil his due, whereby Mussolini will be accorded all that he claims. Italy has restricted territory with 40,000,000 population and a high birth rate. Mussolini has encouraged this birth rate by reducing the age of marriage for men from 18 to 16 and for women from 16 to 14. The Pope has put his ban upon birth control for all loyal, faithful Catholics. The population of Italy, therefore, must overflow its natural boundaries. Mussolini knows this and seeks outlet in Africa.

The population of Italy, therefore, must overflow its natural boundaries. Mussolini knows this and seeks outlet in Africa.
EVEN FROM THE DAYS OF CAESAR
This has been the method of verile and vigorous peoples ever since Caesal's desecration of the Helvetians who overflowed their boundaries because they were too narrow and restricted for a people of such natural vigor and war like propensities. It is not because of the race and visage of the Abyssinians as the object of his attack, but because they are weak and their country abounds in resources and raw materials which Italy lacks and must have.
There is probably not another nation but that would do the same thing or a similar thing if confronted by the same national circumstances. Sir Henry Johnston, author of "The Negro and the New World," states his belief that human slavery and all of its horrors of the past three hundred years would be repeated today if men and nations found it profitable to do so.
And yet we commend the endeavor of the League of Nations to restrain Mussolini from his avaricious purpose. "Politics" said Senator John G. Ingalls of Kansas, "is the metaphysics of force." The League of Nations is but a balance of power; the world must keep in stable equilibrum or a state of confusion will follow. Thus the nations of the world make morality of necessity. Virtue is dictated by practical consideration and not by abstract moral decrees. Tennyson had it right when he said:

IS REDEMPTION TO
COME THROUGH GARVEY?
In the far-flung purpose of things the continent of Africa must be redeemed from the chains of error and ignorance and lifted to the level of modern civilization. Is Marcus Garvey or Mussolini the better prophet of the process of redemption? Garvey believes, or believed, that the gathered fragments of the African race now scattered throughout the world should be reassembled upon their mother continent and thus lift it to higher standards and nobler modes of life. On the other hand Mussolini the embodiment of selfish force, claims that the reclamation of Africa must come through her subordination and domination by European nations, in line of their policy of self-expansion. It does not seem that Garvey and his philosophy will ever get a chance to function. The philosophy of Mussolini is already functioning on all the continent of Africa except Liberia. Will England, France, or Holland lift Africa, or will they drag her down?

MORALIZING MAY NOT STOP MUSSOLINI
In pursuing their own selfish end is it likely that they will redeem the black race? While we may not at present answer this question in the affirmative, it is nevertheless obvious that this process will be exploited. Mussolini will probably conquer Abyssinia and dispute with Great Britain for other areas in the African Continent. All of our moralizing will be impotent and yet moralize we must. We cannot help overselves. Those who have not might, right is always extolled. Ethiopia stretches forth her hands unto God because those hands are impotent, with an impotence upon which the moral advance of mankind depends.
If Musolini plunges the nations into war, then the blame will be at the door of the nations.

(Continued from last week)
From his father's home a taxi took nint to the bus station. On the verandah before departing he remembered his mother who stood in the doorway waving. He felt a tinge of emotion; deeply was he fond of his mother.
At Tampa's railroad station a lone porter told him that the bus would arrive in fifteen minutes and that it would stop in front of the terminal. Fifteen minutes later the bus arrived. Five white passengers were waiting. When the bus stopped the driver jumped out, called a coloré porter. They both too luggage from the top of the bus. Then the five white passengers entered. Carl knew, without being told, that the last two seats in the bus were reserved for him because he was a brown lad.
While the bus sped smoothly along the quiet and picturesque roads leading further South in South Florida Carl was musing on the world of men, the world of races. Geographically, the country had been divided; historical events engendered a slight difference in the point of view on the race question. He was now in that geographical division of the South that was noted for a peculiar bias toward brown folk. He had heard about the Miami white and black belts. He wondered if the white people in Miami created the white belt and the black belt because they were afraid of the black man. The black man, Carl pondered, by the very strength of his physique, might frighten a weaker white man. Naturally, in self defense and in obedience to the instinct of self-preservation the white man might think it necessary to resort to strategy—to devise ways and means whereby he might protect himself and his kind.
Colored folk saw trouble in Miami. But where in these "enlightened" United States were they absolutely divorced from trouble? There was trouble, darkness, depths of ignorance, in the rows of shabby frame buildings, not far from the high school. Black folks there knew nothing. They worked with their hands and physical strength, they lived according to their instincts, their emotions, their five basic senses. They could see, feel, hear, taste, smell like other individuals; but they sought no higher values in life, probably because they knew, as a consequence of hard and bitter experience, that the higher values in life were practically impossible for them to attain.
Miami is advertised like other American cities claiming special advantages. Carl Brandon remembered that he had seen large placards issued by railroad travel interests and the Miami chamber of commerce heralding sunshine, beaches, race tracks, tropical scenery. While the bus sped down the broad highway each passenger was silent; the driver seldom moved his eyes from the perpetually diminishing yet perpetually approaching road ahead. The ous sped by orange groves, by cottages in the pines, by cabins on small farms, by groups of small brown children playing in the woods, by old dark farmers, by filling stations, by palmetto and palm clusters, by white back woods folks, by tangerine and grapefruit orchards—leaping ever forward to an ultimate goal.
Then, suddenly, the broad outline of a city appeared; the driver told the passenger behind him that h'd make Miami in ten minutes. He was right. Ten minutes later the bus stopped in the terminal; promptly each passenger arose and stepped out. Carl Brandon experienced again the thrill he always did when entering a locality different from the one in which he lived.
He walked at once into that part of the station reserved for brown folk. Miami authorities made the differentiation very clear by large signs. He rested his luggage, consulted the Miami telephone directory for the address of Father John, the Episcopal priest with whom he intended to stop during his stay in the growing Southern city. A well built man of his own color approached him and offered to take him directly to the Episcopal Parish House for fifty cents. Carl agreed, gave his trunk check to a luggage man, and entered the large car, operated by the Negro chauffeur. Father John, Carl mused, as he sped along Miami streets, was the vicar, the rector of the Parish of Saint Agnes. He had heard it said that Father John was a stalwart Jamaican Negro with a moral character and an intellectual strength as sound as stone from quarries of marble. The vicar had been described to him as thoroughly black, with wide nostrils and thick lips. Folk said that his talk at evening vespers was a flawless musical rhythm, that at high mass his voice was as thurderous and resonant as a Gargantuan command. At the Parish House, when Carl arrived, Father John was standing in full Epicopal garb on the lawn of the picturesque white stucco Parish House.
The ebony features of Father John turned into a broad smile as Carl Brandon, suitcase in hand, opened the large iron gates separating tall white stucco walls, walls designed to separate the devout scribe, scholar, saint and monk from the encroachments of an unwanted outer world.
They exchanged mutual greetings. The vicar's diminutive lifepartner, a mulatto woman—came to the doorway of the spacious rectory. Carl was welcomed and he was shown to his room in the immaculate dwelling place of the good, strong, scholar priest.
That evening, on the verandah,
he held a conversation with Fabbri John.
They talked of various matters — particularly in the realm of religion, philosophy, science. Can I told Father John about his philosophy of life, about his liking for nature, the sea, the point of view of hedonism.
"What is your attitude toward religion, son?" "I love the emotional parts of the scriptures; I deeply admire the grand majestic style of certain passages in the Bible and the sound, invaluable, timeless wisdom in the Proverbs."
"That's grand. Why are you now particularly interested in the Episophaean sects?"
"Because I like the intelligence the keen, penetrative power of the Episcopal ritual. Yet I do not think emotion should be abandoned because I believe emotion can save in certain instances when intelligence may kill."
Pickens Says ---
MENACE OF AFRICA TO EUROPE
Again is European civilization on the verge of stumbling and falling over innocent Africa. It seems that the helplessness of Africa is an age-old menace to European peace and progress,—not an active but a passive menace most of the time. Such a menace has the Negro been to civilization in the western hemisphere: a menace to the principles of religion, of government, of morals. It seems that the exploited and oppressed are a deadly danger to the exploiters and the oppressors. W. E. B. DuBois likes to point out the fact that Africa was the cause, or a necessary element of the cause, of the recent World War: the rivalry of the two greatest powers, England and Germany, for colonial wealth and overseas commerce which depended upon colonial power,—this rivalry was the underlying cause of the war.
The assassination at Sarajevo was no more the cause than the firing on Fort Sumter was the cause of the Civil War in the United States. Two hundred and fifty years of enslavement of the Negro race caused the Civil War. Colonial greed, rivalry, crooked diplomacy and international hatred cause the World War, and the first cause, the cause of the other causes, was the colonial subjugation, repression and exploitation of the colored peoples, especially in Africa.
Look at an old map of 1913 and see how Britain and Germany were vying with each other for control of the resources of that continent, and you will see that it was no ill-considered judgment when DuBois said that Africa was the one necessary cause of the World War.
In the last century B.C., the greatest power in the world was rent asunder by rivalry for African wealth,—that power was European; Anthony and Augustus for a time threatened the Roman empire in a fight over Africa. Of course, we hear much about Anthony and Cleopatra,—but Anthony and Augustus were not warring about that woman or because of that woman. She was only a factor, an ally of Anthony. After Julius had taken both Cleopatra and Egypt, it was inevitable that some succeeding Romans of ambition would fall out, not over Cleopatra, but over Egypt and Egypt's gold, Cleopatra, a shrewd brown woman, was only playing her own game between these two powerful Roman opposites. She happened to choose the loser.
Now Mussolini and Great Britian are at loggersheads again—over Africa. The Ethiopian is just the pawn; nobody outside of Ethiopia will go $t_0$ war to defend him, and nobody wants to conquer him just to conquer him. He is no menace to anybody. The thing desired is the wealth of Africa, the advantage of trade and of colonial overlordships, where wealth can be extracted from the exploited on lower moral and social planes than in more "civilized" Europe. If a general war breaks out in this latest instance, it will not be in defense of Ethiopia but will be due to the rivalry of these powers and their conflicting interests. After two thousand years exploited Africa is still a deadly peril to Europe,—and the exploited will always be a deadly peril to the exploiters.
Says Liberia Has Too Many Lawyers
According to the Weekly Mirror (Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa) last week, Liberia is overrun with too many lawyers, and the Liberian College should seek to train more agriculturists, nurses and physicians.
"The boys." said "The Mirror." "are all congregated at the bar. From that vantage ground they plunge into politics and run the country, we were about to say, but 'ruin' is a far more exact description of what actually takes place. Liberia College officials should place more emphasis in its curriculum and its instruction upon other essentials. If this were done, we would not have to run face to face with a crying need of health and recreational centers in the beautiful and elevated regions of our intera and not have a Liberian doctor to place in charge or the son of a doctor studying or even wanting to study the vital problems of the nation's health.
"We would not have a disorganized and stranded agriculture with problems of land erosion and soil teaching, of forest wastage."

Huey Long - Editorially Speaking
The Negro press had little comment to make relative to the assassination of Huey Pierce Long, consort from Louisiana who was shot down in the rounda of the same capital at Baton Rouge.
The Boston Chronical, as usual, takes a radical view of the event. Here Long is compared to a gangster—one who rules by fear. The Chronical editorial stated that "the assassination of Huey Long did not come as a complete surprise to us. Long made far too many enemies for his own safety, and we knew that it was only a question of time before someone would break under the strain and go gunning for the Kingfish."
The editorial writer states that it is the same fate that we presage for Benito Mussolini and Adolph Hitler. They are all birds of the same feather.
"Huey Long was a pronounced physical coward and sought to cover it up by surrounding himself with armed rough-necks. They, feeling secure under the Kingfish's aegis, were ruthless in their rough treatment of anyone who opposed or displeased their lord and master. We recall the case of the news photographer who was bludgeoned into unconsciousness by Long's guards for the 'grave' crime of trying to do his job by taking the Senator's picture. Quite re-

THE DISINHERITED By Alan Clinton
I can but raise my voice in praise
For those who bear the primal load
Of God's decree that all their days
Shall know the sting of flailing
goad;
Whose fell, predestined lot is set
By human chains and Godly bars
Within a hopeless thrall and yet
With eyes forever on the stars
They gaze—and note an answering
gaze;
How then can I do else but praise?
For them I have no damning word
For those who, bowed beneath the
yoke,
Yet turn to face the flashing sword
Of hate—and render stroke for
stroke;
This proves why poets are sometimes the despair, and all times the exasperation, of the practical world in which perforce they live, for here are astronomy, physics and the higher reaches of mathematics all mounted upon the wings of Eros and Pergasus:
This matter of those distant worlds that swim in misty space, I leave to hoary savants, kneel.
ing, old at wisdom's shrine
I only know the planets hold a vision in your face,
And you are mine.
This problem of the bounds of Time, or Time's infinity,
The learned sage, by rule and line and test may richly prove
But aeons and hours are levelled when I know that ours shall be
A timeless love!
For Time and Space are but the scales by which men seek to measure
The dimly reckoned things of life within life's shifting portals
But God's own hand has sealed within our hearts an ageless treasure—
True love immortal!

NEWSPAPER MEN
ROOSEVELT'S CHOICE
Dewey Jones, a Chicago newspaperman, has been appointed assistant adviser on Negro affairs, Department of the Interior, in Washington. That makes Vann, of Pittsburgh; Thompkins of Kansas City; Lester Waltzen, of New York, and now Jones, of Chicago, all newspapermen, drawing down Uncle Sam's dough. The New Dealers are really smart—they put you on the pay roll and stop your 'yelping.'
Truth is like wine; the older it gets the sweeter it tastes.
The easier a girl is to look at the harder a man will look.
of unregulated labor supply, of low prices and unmarketable products, of poor tools and lack of processing machinery. Our agricultural progress was to have been great as well as our economic development. We do not need as many lawyers. What we need is more producers."
Rouge who dared to talk back to Long was similarly treated." When "Long used offensive terms to a colored musician in the washroom of a fashionable night club in Long Island, New York, and promptly received a black eye for his sins," his guards were of no avail, aids the writer. He goes on, "This leads us to wonder what the law-enforcement officers of Louisiana will do about the unlawful murder of Dr. Weiss. Long's bodyguards were in the same category as those who used to surround men like Al Capone, Jack (Legs) Diamond and all the other gangster chiefs of the, Prohibition era—the had no more right to take the law into their own hands than Dr. Weiss had.
Has There Been a Loss?
"We deplore the manner of the death of both Long and Dr. Weiss, but we are not quite sure that the nation has suffered any loss. At least the colored population (outside of a number of Louisiana 'Uncle Toms') have not." Strange as it seems the Gary (Ind.) American says that Long was the Negro's friend: "His demise has significance for every citizen of this ration, be that citizen white or black." "To the Negroes of Louisiana, Long's death is seemingly irreparable. He was the first important official to realize people of color are citizens of this United States and that the 13th, 14th 15th amendment are not in the constitution merely to take up space. Under his dictatorship black men were given the same opportunity to wield the ballot, schools were built for them, hospitals established and parks opened.
"Nearly every native of Louisiana of color was a staunch Long supporter. He was to them an emancipator on a small scale and neighboring commonwealths were beginning to feel his influence. Nobody knows how far he would have gone had he lived. It is highly probable that his death will hurt the Negroes of his section back to a voiceless and impotent political and civic existence." "No sensible Negro countenances an act of violence, and yet it is true that when whites shoot down and lynch Aframericans at will, the seed of bloodshed is sown that has its harvest in the murder of other whites."
National Influence
From near the scene of the tragedy we cull from the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune that sentiment in that quarter is that Huey's death will influence the national election.
"...The assailant's bullet will, no doubt, cause a changed trend in politics in Louisiana and will have some effect upon the results of the coming national election. He would have been able to sway a certain number of votes sufficient to make history.
"He was impulsive but it is said of him that if reached, he would act favorably to requests to help our people. For instance, in a certain hospital in New Orleans all of the nurses were white.
He was asked to have colored nurses employed. In a diplomatic way he had the white nurses removed, giving as a reason that white women should not be handling Negro men and women.
"Huey Long will go in history as the most dominant figure of his day."
According to the Philadelphia Tribune the issue of lawlessness is brought out in the assassination of the King Fish:
"The violent death of Senator Long and the riddling of his assassin's body with machine gun bullets show as nothing else can the deep-seated hatred and absolute disregard for law which exist in Louisiana.
"Huey Long climbed to power with reckless neglect for the rights of other people. He was the 'King-Fish', the czar. His puppets did his bidding without question.
"He died as he lived. The political empire he built is crumbling almost immediately after his death. He erected his throne upon lawlessness. The 'Frankenstein' which he created turned and destroyed him.
"The political fight in Louisiana will not be settled with gun fire. Machine guns removed the assassin, but the hatred and bitterness which have been created remain for more sober minds to deal with."
The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Observer draws attention to the allegation that Long's ideas were impraticable:
"The Share the Wealth idea carried with it giving every American a family a modest home at a cost of $5,000, and to confiscate the wealth of all Americans with more than $2,500. According to the best authorities, to take the wealth of all Americans worth more than $2,500,00 would give each American approximately $250. Therefore you see that his Share the Wealth scheme in that respect was impossible.
"But summing up his record from the cotton patches of Louisiana to the United States Senate we must agree he was an extraordinary man. Any man who can fight his way from a cotton patch to the dictatorship of a great State and amass the personal following he had throughout the country, is truly great. Unbiased and unprejudiced historians will be compelled to accord him that recognition." —C Leslie Frazie

Swanky Suites in H. U. Dorms
Force Students to Live in City
Accommodations Needed for 400 More Who Have to
Look For Rooms in the City. International House Torn
Space Reduced; Rent Kaised over Dean's Protest. ll
Down; No Accommodations for Foreign Students. Room
Rooms Have Been Reserved.
By FREDERICK S. WEAVER
When Howard University opens
for registration September 23, the
majority of its male students will
have tc look to some other place
than the university for room ac-
commodations.
With the rooms in Clark Hall
reduced so as to accommodate only
123 men, some 50 mien, who here-
tofore have been scoommodated
in that dormitory along with the
123, will be severely handicapped
as well as disappointed when they
return to find that they will not
be able to live on the university
campus.
In Addition to these who hereto-
fore hxve roomed in Clark Hall,
Howard's main boys’ dormitory,
and the only one for undergrsd-
uate male students, foreign stu-
dents who have spent their school
year living in the university Intér-
hhational House, wiil also have to
look elsewhere for shelter.
Accommodate 175
On order of the Board of Trus-
tees of the University the Inter-
‘national House, whieh last year
housed 14 students of foreign birth,
and fed on an average of 50 per
day, has been razed. There is
nothing to show that such a house
ever existed, save a huge hele,
Howard ' University has an
average -_ attendance of 900
students, of which number only
175 can be accommodated in the
dormitories. Before the remodgl.
ing of Clark Hell this summer 176
could bé accommodated in that dor-
mitory alone, but the rooms have
been changed into suites of twe
and only two or three will bé as.
signed to ® suite, which réduces
the number of roomers the build-
ing will have.
Rent Raised
Over the protest of the dean of
men, William B. West, the room
rent was raised from $6 a month
as of last school year, to $7. 8
month for the ensuing year. The
incresse, however, is not appalling
when one considers the intreasé ir
space, and the new features adde¢
to the dormitory.
With all freshman students re-
quired to live in the dormitory, i
is easy to discern that very few
other students will be «ble to se-

In an interview with the dean
of men, it was learned that ap-
proximately 400 male students
would live on the university cemp-
us by preference, wete dormitory
space available.
That being true, immediate ac-
commodations are needed for ap-
proximately 300 stuents.
Need For More Space
The need for more dormitory
space for men Has beén forcibly
placed before the Board of Trua-
tees of Howard University on
humerous occasions, and exch time
they have successfully sidestepped
the matter.
It was brought to their attention
at the time they were erecting the
‘three dormitories for women stu-
dents, only two of which are used
by women students, and neither
of them filled, The third building
was tummed into an apértmient
house for teachers the same time
oe male students were walking
off the campus looking for .. place
to stay.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (By
Wilson James for ANP)—Ethio-
pien soldiers were heartened this
week by Wwell-authen‘icated reports
from the foreicn ministry office
thot Ehtioria had been saccessful
in arranging for the importation
of arms and ammunition from
Japan with which to repel an Ital-
‘an invasion. If the renorted
agreement is kept, iz will set the
stage for revolutionary changes in
the re’ations of whites and blacks
in Africa,
White conquest cf Africa has
heen made possible by the imple
ments of modern warfare, possess-
ed and manufactured by white na-
tions, Millions of black, yellow
snd brown people in Africa and
Avia have been subjugated by the
white man’s guns. The white
“civilized” natives have realized
this powerful advantage and have
used all possible means to keep
firearms out of the hands of Afri-
can and Asiatic natives,
Ehtiopia’s success thus far in
maintaining her independence has
been due to her natural defenses
and the possession of some fire-
farms, made possible by shrewd
manouvering on thc part of the
late Mene:ik.
Ammunition Hard to Get
In the current quarrel with
Italy, Ethiovia ha made repeated
efforts to purchase arms and amv
munition from white nations, but
has been consistently turned down:
The governments of these nations
fear firezrms in the hands of Afri-
can natives. They are avprehen
sive lest the Ethiopians arm oter
natives of Africa.
It is going to be interesting to
observe the reaction of the whites
to the importation ef arms from
Japan. There are many Japanese
in this country, Will France, whick

Sut for the war in Italy, the
show is ready and che world awaits
the rise of the curtain,
Last week, just prior to the
meeting of League of Nations
Minister Anthony Even, represent:
ing England; Premier Pierre Laval
of Franee ‘and Paron Pompeii
Aloisi of Italy, in Paris to confer
on whether it would be wise to al:
low the promoters to put this
“Birth of a Nation” show on, En
peror Haile Selassie hit the cables
with an adroitly worded message
which he had delivered to his
chiefs. At one and tne same time,
it said: . “Ethiopia will fight—to
the last drop of b'eoa, but Chris:
tian nations, do you ‘think it is
fair, do you think.1t is civilized to
allow us to be ‘massacred’ by the
Christian soldiers, Christian gas
bombs, Christian’ airplanes and
Christian tanks of of the Italian
army?”
Here are the real issues: First,
will the white nations of the world
allow this “Birth of a Nation” war
to proceed and invite bloodshed a-
monz races all over the world?
Second, Rezardless of whether
Italy or Ethiopia wins, will Chris:
tianity permit such wanton. blood-
shed as must be visited upon Ethio-
pia in the protection of her inde-
pendence?
__ Neither country is a sure shot to
win this war. Pictures have been
published showing the flower of
Italian youth on their way to East
Africa,” Photographs have also
shown the young Ethiopians going
through their paces. War is not
an ambition in the iives of either
Italian or Ethiopian youth, But
this war is upon them and they
are forced to make the sacrifice in
the name of something called patri-
oticm, which in Italv’s case, is
clossly synonymous with selfish
political ambition.
Thousands Ready
Thousands upon thousands of
E:hiopians await ine ca‘l to de
fend their country. They have a
proud heritage of thousand. of
years of independence. ‘That inde-
pendence has been maintained by
a glorious record of fighting, Never
have the Ethiopians, united, been
defeated.
While the powerful white nations
of the globe have gubbled up all
the rest of Africa, the Ethiopians
have fought off all comers, Back
in 1866, King Theodore of Ethio-
pia was defeated by a large Brit:
ish army, but on!y after his own
chieftains had turned against him.
Twice, the Italians nave been de-
feated by the Ethiopians. Gibbon
records that when the armies of
ancient Rome reached Ethiopia,
they concluded they Lad gone far
enough,
Now against, all the engines of
destruction which civilized ingenu-
ity can devise. a united Ethiopian
prepares to defend itself once more.
‘The special correspendent of the
London Times has recently pre
sented a preview of the war as it
is expected to break in September.
Ethiopia how hes 200,000 troops

countrymen,
Recall Battle of 1896
1f you will consn't your map of
Ethiopia, you will be able to fol-
low the plan of the Ethiopian mili-
tary strategists who wiil oppose
Italy. Italy has two African col-
onies bordering on Ethiopia, Eri-
trea on the north and Somaliland
on the south. Eighteen miles from
Eritrea in northwest Ethiopia is
Adowa, scene of the disastrous de-
feat of the Italians in 1896,
The Ethiopians believe that Italy
will strike first in the north in an
effort to wipe out the stain of
Adowa. They already envisage
the capture of Adowa and a speech
by Mussolini to commemorate it.
The Ethiopians will offer little re-
sistance. To proceed southernly
from Adowa would be almost sui-
cidal for the Italians because of
the mountains, so it is expected
that the Italian army will adopt a
flanking movemen: through the
Barraka-Gash valley on the way
to Gondar. Such a movement will,
of course, lengthen the line of com:
munications and supplies for the
ITtatians, and require heavy rear-
guards for protection against
Ethiopian snipers
Emperor Haile Sclassie believes
the major attack from the Italians
is to come from Somaliland on the
south. He believes the invasion in
the north will be to wipe out the
stain of Adowa anc to protect a-
gainst an Ethiopian invasion of
Eritrea, :
From the south, the Italians, af-
ter transferring the bu'k of their
troops in Eritrea via the Red sea
to Somaliland, “nighe launch an
offense from Walwal, already oc:
cupied, across the plains of Ogaden
province. Military roads are being
built there now and the right flank
of the Italian army would be pro-
tected by the English Sudan. The
first objective of the Italian attack
would be Harar, Emperor Haile Se-
lassie’s own provinve, and the sec-
ond, Addis Ababa, capital city. In
two days, without unforeseen dif-
ficulties, the Italians might reach
Harar. The Itatians would then
move eastward to ward Addis Aba-
a.
To Divide Army
In order to combat this dual
threat of the Italians, Haile Selas-
sie must divide his army into two
forces, one northern and one south:
ern, and each protecting an imagi-
nary line about thirty miles on
either side of the capital. If com:
munications in Ethiopia were up-
to-date, the two armies might ope
rate as one.
Although most of the large de-
tachment s of troops which” hive
passed through Addis Ababa have
seemed to go to the north, it is eae

rently betieved that they are being

‘The present disposition of armed
troops in Ethiopia is as follows:
The Army of the North is divid-
ed into four parts.’ Ras Seyyum
of Tigre. province holds between
30,000 and 50,000 men eoncentrat-
ed in the region of Adowa, Aksum
and Makalle, all close to Eritrea.
It is not expected that he would
attempt to meet the Itatiang in
pitched battle. His force wilh be
divided into guerilla bands to har
ras; the invaders. 3
Menace ftalians © *
In Gondar and the northwest of
the empire, Ras Kassa, the em
peror’s cousin, has between 50,000
and 70,000 men. They would men-
ace Italian communications and
supplies if they tried the south:
west flanking passage through the
Barraka-Gash valiey. To the east
and south in Wollo province, there
are between 30,000 and 40,000 men
under the command of the Crown
Prince. These troops are congre-
gated at Dessie to cuard the de-
cert tract from Assab and the east-
ern flank of the central Amhara
plateau.
Directly east from Dessie at Goj-
jam are 30,000 reserves under the
‘command of Ras Imru,
Much less is known of Ethiopian
concentrations in the South than in
the North. However, Dadji Nas-
seru is known to have 15,000
troops at Daga Bur in Harar,
from which province the Italians
fare expected to try their advance
on Addis Ababa, Supporting him
are 10,000 Galla soldiers. However,
the chief strength of the southern
troops is expected to come from
the Imperial Guard, said to num-
ber from 7,000 to 50.000 troons,
specially trained by Belgian off:
cers. :
‘Thus, in excess of 200,000 men
are ready under arms,
They are not well armed, accord-
i.g to modern standards. In worse
condition than these are the 500,000
provincial retainers who will ‘an-
swer the first call to arms.
It is estimated that the Emperor
can quickly muster 500,000. rifles
out of those already in possession,
14,000 modern pattern Mausers
imported by the Belxan Military
Mission and 16,009 modern rifles
and 600 light automatics imported
through Ojibuti this year. They
also have several hundred machine
guns.
Fthiopians Lack Ammunition,
Ethiopia's principal difficulty is
a lack of ammunition. From the
most reliable sources, reports do
not indicate that she possesses
more than 10,000,000 rounds of
ammunition. Sevea million rounds
of ammunition, ordered from Ant-
werp, were stopped this year.
It is the European embargo on
ammunition that is going to cost
thousands of Ethiopians _ lives.
There is no calling them back from
the defense of their country. The
choice for defense or noviefense
does pot rest with Haile Selass‘e,
If he sought to con:promise with
Mussolini, the, Ethiopians them-
selves would depose him. They
want no compromise. They are
frantic patriots.
The position of the European na
tions is somewhat !ike that of the
lynchers in the United States.
