COUPLES TO BE AFFECTED BY DIVORCE LAW The capital's new divorce law enacted August 7 was held retroactive by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue in a ruling handed down Tuesday in the District Supreme Court. The law based on the newly-created grounds of separation and desertion will apply to some 400 cases now pending in the court. Of this number, approximately 100 involve colored couples. The new law makes it harder to get a limited divorce, but much easier to get an absolute divorce. Adultery was the only grounds for an absolute divorce under the old law. The new measure will give an absolute divorce for adultery, desertion for two years, voluntary separation for five years without cohabitation, and a fine or conviction of a felony carrying a penalty of not less than two years. With absolute divorce if the party making the application is the innocent party. Justice O'Donoghue ruled that the law is retroactive since it was the "evident intent of Congress to make it so in order to adjust existing evils, and it is predicated mainly on public policy which Congress took cognizance of. It did not take rights from either party, but permitted either party to come into court to adjust marital differences," the court held. By retroactive the court means that a person does not have to wait two years from the date of the act to get a divorce, but those who have already been separated for any period of time will have this time counted as having been separated. Many persons separate voluntarily, and if they wish they may secure an absolute divorce if the The old law provided for a limited divorce for cruelty, drunkenness and desertion with no period specified. The new law gives a legal separation for cruelty and a final divorce for separation for two years since the decree was dated. The action may be enlarged HYDER HELD FOR OPERATING STILL HYDER HELD FOR OPERATING STILL Charged with operating an unlicensed still.

It did not take rights from either party, but permitted either party to come into court to adjust marital differences," the court held.

The question is to be brought before the court of appeals, and several months will elapse before the question as to whether the new divorce law can be applied to events or conditions existing prior to its enactment, will be settled H. U. MED. SCHOOL FINEST IN U.S. H. U. MED. SCHOOL FINEST IN U.S. How the prosecution of a well-planned program covering a period of almost a decade has raised the Howard College of Medicine to one of the leading medical chools in the country and the "finest medical schools operated primarily for Negroes" was outlined in a pamphlet written by Dr. P. G. Adams, dean of the institution and released by the Howard University Press last week. The program, as outlined by Dr. Adams, might be divided into two distinct programs, one centering around the physical development, which culminated in 1927 with the dedication of the new Howard Medical College plant which won the acclaim of critics throughout the country and the reorganization and faculty building program inaugurated some years ago which brought the medical school faculty from 64 members of whom only three were full-time teachers to the present faculty of 115 members with 21 being full-time teachers Davis Tells Tribune He Feared Wife's Parents Fear of the displeasure of his wife's parents was given by John Aubrey Davis as an excuse for his refusal to deny or confirm reports last week that he and Miss Mavis E. Wormley were married in Elkton, Md. In a statement to the Tribune this week, Davis said: "I wish to confirm the report of my marriage published in your paper last week, and to explain that my refusal to confirm or deny the report was due to the insistence of my wife who feared the displeasure of her parents because of her position in school." Davis, an assistant in the office of Lawrence A. Oxley, of the U.S. Department of Labor, was married to Miss Wormley, daughter of Principal G. Smith Wormley, of Randall Junior High School, September 5, in Elkton, Md. When reached by the Tribune, Davis refused to deny or confirm the report, stating at the time it would be embarrassing to him one way or the other. The report of the marriage was carried exclusively in the Tribune last week. Following the story in the Tribune announcing their marriage, Principal Wormley told the Tribune that his daughter continued to deny her marriage to Davis. Arlington Teachers Elect L. C.

CHALLENGE RALLY NETS $1,008 The sum of $1,008 was raised in a "Challenge Drive," by Campbell A.M.E. Church, Nichols Avenue, Anacostia, in a rally which began Sunday, August 18, and closed Tuesday September 17. The inspiration of this "whirlwind" drive was Mrs. Minnie B. Smoot, who proposed to Campbell's pastor, Dr. P. A. Scott, that if Campbell would put on an intensive financial drive for thirty days, she would, at the end of the drive, donate to the church a sum equal to twenty per cent of the total amount raised for all purposes. The challenge was accepted, and the entire church and friends, worked with the result that the church reported, at a "jubilee meet" last Tuesday night, the sum of $840, and Mrs. Smoot donated $168, making a total of $1,008. The result of the drive was celebrated with a reception and testimonial in honor of Miss. Smoot and the committees which helped to raise the large sun. Praise was voiced by the Rev. Emmore Wormley, on behalf of the official board by the pastor on behalf of the church, by Dr. Charles H.

She recalls cooking supper for a group of Yankee invaders on that night. Remembers Garfield's Death Mrs. Ackiss also vividly recalls the assassination of President James Abram Garfield, July 2, 1881. She can tell you the complete story of how Charles J. Guiteau, who, with his vanity offended by the refusal of an officer, became unbalanced mentally and shot Garfield in a railway station here in Washington. Garfield lingered critically ill until September 19, the same year, when he died. It is significant that Mrs. Ackiss can easily recall the incidents that took place during the days of Garfield's reign because a week after the assassination of the twentieth President she was shot from ambush by an unknown assailant.

But when the same disease hit us, we cried, "What can we do about it? Where is the way out?"

If people are not willing to pull for the common good, but insist upon tugging at their own little selfish ends, nothing will be accomplished.

Mrs. Dorothy Walker, the very charming president of Saint Paul (Bladensburg Road) Baptist Church Christian Endeavor Societies announces that the 35th International Christian Endeavor, Convention Echo meeting of the C.E. Societies of this church will be held on the Sunday evening of September 39. At what time Mrs. Walker? Mrs. Lillian Gee, the sister of Fred Ball, that very energetic president of the First (Georgetown) Baptist C.E. societies, pauses to state that the convention Echo meeting of the First Baptist C.E. societies will be held on the second Sunday in October. In Miss Louise Pinkett, the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Christian Endeavor Societies, certainly presented a most delightful personality as mistress of ceremonies of the Echo meeting held in this church on last Sunday night. Who else could make a choir sing "We Choose Christ!" three times—and like it? What has become of the Rev. W. E. Miller? He is the assistant pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Endeavorers, the Rev. Mr. Miller is one minister who always has a word of encouragement for youth. Are you very busy, Rev. Mr. Miller? And now to M. R. R.: The officers of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Senior C.E. Society are, Mrs. Lily F. Mickens, president; A. M. Costelle, first vice-president; Mr. Braxton, second vice-president; Fr. Postell, secretary; Emerson Brown, corresponding secretary; A. S. Rogers, treasurer; Mrs. Eliza Minor, pianist; Mrs. Elsie Robinson, assistant pianist; Mr Mahoney, chorister; Mrs. E. Minor, junior superintendent; Miss Gladys Ball, intermediate superintendent; delegates to the Golden Rule Union, Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Richardson. All of the Christian Endeavor Societies of the Golden Rule Union are invited to have a port in the Rainbow Wedding (sponsored by the Union) which is to be presented at Galbraith on the evening of November 4. Miss Elsie (Union Wesley) Gray is the directress of the wedding. Endeavorers, this is going to be a real gorgeous affair. Christian Endeavorers, here are some Union projects that you must keep in mind. Your columnist will announce the dates later. They are: (1) The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union Echo meeting at Shiloh Baptist Church; (2) The Institute on Christian Endeavor Work to be sponsored by the Prayer Meeting Department of the Golden Rule Union, with Mrs. L. F. Mickens as head of the Institute, and (3) Echoes from Budapest, a meeting at which James Brown, our distinguished president, will make his official report to the Union on the World Christian Endeavor Convention. Mr. Brown was the only elected Negro delegate at this great convention. The Senior Christian Endeavor Society of the Metropolitan Baptist A.M.E. is planning a very constructive program for the fall season. For your information J. H. Moseley is the president of this progressive group of endeavorers. Thanks for the invitation! From my very good friend, Samuel E. Jones, that astute parliamentarian, and president of the Metropolitan Wesley A.M.E. Zion C.E. societies, comes word that the Endeavorers in this church are doing some very good work. The attendance to the meetings is good. Mr. Jones also states that other societies are welcome to visit Metropolitan Wesley at any time. Good! Miss Kiteurah Barnes (president of Zion, S.W.

It does not help to pull together, however, unless the goal we are aiming at is worthwhile. Are you a "joiner"? Do you join every club you are invited to? Attend every meeting you are urged to? Join every committee that asks you? Do you spread yourself out so thin that your help is not worth very much? In this day of speed and many activities, we have to sit down in our quiet place and ask ourselves, "which of these things I am doing, this recreation I am taking, is really worth while?" And then stick to "first things." The Church is of first importance. Take the church out of your life... and what would you have left? Just imagine that there were no Sunday preaching service to emphasize, for a few moments, the things of the spirit...what other agency brings you the peace of Jesus Christ?

Let another committee go to the chief of police in your town and consult him about the crime situation among young people in your community. Can you help.

Church and did honor to Bishop and Mrs. J. A. Gregg. The occasion marked their 35th wedding anniversary and the 35th year of Bishop Gregg's ministerial connection with the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The celebration covered the whole day, and ended in the evening with a huge baguet at which many words of felicitation and praise were uttered concerning the Bishop and his wife, who has always been a splendid helpmate for him. Preceding the banquet Bishop and Mrs. Gregg were married all over again, the ceremony being performed by his fellow bishop, H. Y. Tookes. Bishop Tookes also made a stirring speech of encouragement to Bishop Greeg and his wife. Presented with $500 Perhaps the high point of the ceremonies came when Dr. L. H. Smith presented the Bishop and Mrs. Gregg with a purse of over $500 as a contribution from the ministers and laymen who comprise the six Episcopal district conferences over which Bishop Gregg presides, including the state of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri. Each of the six Episcopal districts were represented at the celebration. The Rev. W. D. Wilkins pastor of the First A.M.F. Chrch, served as toastmaster at the banquet Toasts were given by Doctors C. F. Flipper, L. P. Bryart, R. H. Harbert, M. C. Knight, J. M. Goodard, F. Jesse Peck, John A. Bradwod, Attorney C. H. Calloway, and many other unscheduled speakers.

R.—Do you think it would be worth while to place an ad in this paper for what I want? Ans: It is an excellent idea for you to place an ad in this paper for a job for it is reveale, to me that you will be successful in finding work in this manner. The job you get will be a good one for it seems to me that you will make a trip to Florida this winter and visit your relatives. M. S. T.—Please tell me if the boy I love and call myself going with will he ever stop his drinking and become my special? Ans: Never—10 he is not going to go regularly, with any one girl as he has made up his mind to be a confirmed old bachelor and he intends to carry out this idea. You had better look elsewhere for a special friend. M. G.—Someone sent me a letter unsigned and I want to know who is the guilty party? Ans.: The letter was not meant for you—a young lady on the other side of town sent the letter but she intended it to go to a girl in the same block with yourself. A kid in the neighborhood told her your name and that is why you received the nasty letter to leave her beau alone. G. T. P.—Is there any value to what was found on my property and is there any more? Ans.: I cannot contact you as profiting one cent from the stone that was found on your property—neither do I believe there is a similar one on your property. C. P. W.—I have given a man all of my heart and he leaves months of the time. What shall I do? Ans: Stop acting so silly and show this man that you have a little backbone left—when he comes back next time don't be so anxious to see him. Show him that you can go out and have a good time even if he isn't in the city. At the rate you are going you won't ever be able to win his love. B. T. N.—Will my mother will me anything? Ans: She has nothing whatever to will you—it is true that at one time your mother was worth quite a bit of money but now she is just barely getting by, so you need not count on inheriting a fortune. You will receive a sum of money from insurance from an entirely different source. T. Y.—Will I be successful in the trial that is coming up? Ans: Yes, very successful. The case will be settled in your favor, entirely. J. A. W.—Please tell me why my daughter's husband left like he did? Please answer soon. Ans.: It was best that he did leave—he fell in love with your son's wife and he knew that if he stayed around that it would be embarrassing for all concerned. You'll hear from him but it will be several weeks.

University of Virginia Case Before NAACP RICHMOND, Va.—With the announcement by the University of Virginia board of visitors that the application of Miss Alice C. Jack-of this city for admission to its graduate school will be denied, it became known that Miss Jackson and her family have placed the whole matter before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the Richmond brauch, and have asked the association for advice and assistance. Miss Jackson is the daughter of a druggist here. She is a graduate of Virginia Union University of this city and has done graduate work in French at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. She desires to pursue further graduate work in French and made application to the University of Virginia, since the state of Virginia does not provide training for Negro students. There is a state college for Negroes at Petersburg but it has no graduate or professional schools. In his announcement of the decision of the board of visitors, Frederick W. Scott, rector of the board, said: "The education of white and colored persons in the same schools is contrary to: the long established and fixed policy of the Common-wealth of Virginia." "Therefore, for this and for other good and sufficient reasons not necessary to be herein enumerated, the rector and board of visitors of the University of Virginia direct the dean of the department of graduate studies to refuse respectfully the pending application of a colored student." Dr. John Calvin Metcalf, graduate dean, has been on vacation in Norway.

You should carry out their instructions for in time it will give you relief. M. D. T.—I am in love with a man but I am terribly unhappy and I want to know if I am right in trying to forget him?

Read our bulletin on this subject. William "Wiggles" Thomas, Gusso Conductor Conductor A sketch book! How the deuce does one go about writing such hooey 'n' I wonder why this mug Webb picked me, of all persons, to slave in his steed. You'd think that a man would have pride enough to ask someone to write his columna who is a better writer than himself, or at least as good; certainty, not worse. Oh well, it's his job and if he chooses to bungle it, why should I squawk? Why should I, huh? Well, who's squawking? The man has no sense of responsibility at all; absolutely none whatever. He places his job in my hands to take care of. Of course, I wouldn't dare say such a thing to Chick, but I think the chap is a darn lazy critter. You'd think he'd guess that a man might have his own duties to perform. But—that's the way of the world! A man is always trying to shift his burden to the next man's shoulders. Then, too, he could have been considerate enough to ask me if I could do it, but no—he'd rather embarrass me, hurt my feelings! 'S all right, though; he'll fix him. I betcha the next guest writer he picks will be a protege of Billy Hurst. I'll fix him. I'll ruin this mug as a newspaperman. 'Tis sad, but a man must suffer if he is lazy and wants to trust me on his job. But—I should worry! No siree! His little red wagon! I'll do it 'n' wash my mitts—'n' I hope he doesn't like it—so I won't be bothered in the future. A sketch book. Bah! I've gotta hand it to you, pa; you're plenty nervy. You certainly did put me in a spot. You know drattin' well I can't write the sort of stuff that you do. 'n' besides I have established a reputation for writing nothing but complimentary things about people. Of course, I can be "nawsty," and you have certainly given me cause to be. I think you're the—but, before I start cursing you, girl friend Friday reminds me that you write a sketch book; so you're it. "Tit for tat"; ya ever heard of that? "Tit" is usually very pleasant, but "Tat"—oh boy! This is a spot I've wanted to get you in, ya little "squirt." Personality Sketch of Alvin "Chick" Webb The diminutive Alvin Aubrey Webb was born in Cukraba, Canal Zone, some few (?) summers back. He was actually bred under the influence of Harlem's poetical moon. Migrating to Washington four years ago to enter the Treasury Department, "Crick," as he is affectionately called by all, developed a mania for columnistic journalism and inaugurated a feature then called the "Youths' Corner" and later changed it to his present pillar, the "Washington Sketch Book." Both of these features appeared in the Washington Tribune. He hopes some day to develop a literary style that will attract wide attention. Webb has the reputation of being a great organizer. Two of his pet projects have been the Young People's Forum and the Government Basketball League, both of which he is the president. Webb like Washington, but dislikes the so-called "circles" and "cliques" that form Negro society here. He feels that they are harmfully undemocratic. He believes that the most beautiful women in the world are to be found in this city, and being a connoisseur of femininity in the raw, the dear boy should know. You, of course, know—or maybe you don't know—but "Chick" has a mate who helps him to boast of the two very sweet youngsters who brighten their lives. He is athletic, having at one time (B.D.—before dissipating) held records on the track, but declined many invitations to romp as fullback on the gridiron. He has dramatic urge, but is usually too busy presiding over other groups to consider it seriously. He is secretly putting the flipping touchs on a novel that is destined to be a a "best seller." My advice is to follow the progress of Alvin Aubrey Webb—your "Chick." Now that we know and can understand that mug better, I can forget the serious stuff and resort to my old self. I shan't promise to write a column, but I shall do it. DO it. I'll attempt; to make it newsy and silly; well, maybe silly. First, I should attend to this mug's mail—a card from Paul Hoagey says you're a great little guy. I agree. Paul; he couldn't be a great "big" guy. "A constant reader" of your stuff writes in to find out if you're ever going to stop promising your public and put that map of yours at the top and tell who your Girl Friday is. Stop kiddin'. Chick; give 'em a "break". Joe Cornish is still burning gas in his big green bus, while Velma Buckner stays delightfully small. Robert Alexander looks blotted from beer, and Al Bradley's chest sticks way out because of his little girl. Esther Mae Webb (your wife, in case you don't remember) swears she is your best friend—"Your lucky Strike!" Wot you say? Beatri Muse, the clever and thoughtful, follower of your script, warns all girls to be careful if they go out riding with a magician. He's apt to turn the car into a side road.

Mehlinger, Secretary BALTIMORE, Md. — Margaret Williams and Lacille Scott applied last week at the high school at Catonsville, Md., in Baltimore county to be admitted as pu- l. Baltimore county has five high schools for white children, but none for Negroes. Margaret Williams finished the seventh grade at Cowdensville in 1934. Since there was no high school "for colored" in her county, she went to the white" high school and sought admission. She was accompanied by her father, Joshua Williams. Principal David W. Zimmerman was very courteous, but refused her application on the grounds that the regulations of Baltimore county prevented Negroes and whites from attending the same school. Upon being shown her record in elementary school he is reported to have said it was good enough for admission to any high school. It has not been announced what further steps, if any, the parents of the girl will take. 400 Enrollment Mark Expected at Shaw Univ RALEIGH, N.C.

The decision means that Murray will enter the law school of the University of Maryland at the beginning of the term, September 25. The Baltimore city court last June after hearing arguments against the exclusion of Murray, handed down an order directing the university to admit him as a student. Murray's case was based upon the fact that Maryland does not provide professional and graduate training for Negro students a it does for whites.

Tuesday night, and prepared him for a fourth round knockout at the hands of the universe's newest "black menace." A lashing right hand which seemed to come from nowhere but struck with unerring accuracy finished the job begun by its mate. That's the climax of this story.

And Another TRIBUNE Service TWELVE NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD arth Round Kayo Detroit Bomber thirst of those critics who insisted they would drink of the fluid questioning Joe's ability to "take it." He exhibited the wallop boxing writers had said he packed in both hands; he displayed the "killer" instinct it had been said he possessed, and he topped it off with one of the most brazen bits of non-chalance the sporting world has ever known. He took unto himself a bride, just two hours before scheduled time for the terrific licking Baer had threatened when apprised of the Bomber's intention to marry the day after the fight. Shows He Can "Take It" Louis answered the often-asked question regarding his ability to "take it," but it was not he, but his opponent, who had most of the "taking" to do. Herr Maxie landed not more than six blows during the entire 11 minutes and fifty seconds of fighting. Only twice did the former champion flash the sort of punching fury that battered down Schmeling and Primo Carrero. Midway in the first round, after being stung by the Bomber's sharpshooting, Max let fly with both hands. He landed hard to the head, but yielded quickly to the Detroit's counter blast. In the closing moments of the S. Atlantic High School Athletic Conference Football Schedule second round Baer let loose his most spectacular attack. Rushing Louis to the ropes, Max failed away lustily. He jolted Joe with another looping right. The bell rang, but Baer didn't hear it. He punched furiously, trying desperately to land a decisive blow. He did deliver his hardest wallops before the referee could stop the overtime slugfest, but Louis trotted to his corner unhurt. Takes Beating After taking a terrific lacing for two rounds, Baer crumpled under the Negro's two-fisted fire and sagged slowly to the floor for the first time midway in the third round. Frogs blew. Bee, scratched to Eyes bleary, Baer staggered to his feet at the count of nine. He met another withering blast, backed into the ropes, then swayed and toppled again. He was saved this time by the bell, at the count of four. The End Comes There was little action until about two minutes had elapsed of the fourth round. Then it was that Louis swept in again, smashing two lefts to the head, then a right that put Baer down for the last time. Max's eyes blinked. He was on one knee, swaying a bit. He didn't hear the count and he didn't seem to care. He was swaying when Referee Arthur Donovan swung his arm down for the tenth time. Baer was "out" for the first time in his career, in every sense of the word.

Candidates 15 Former District High School Stars Among H. U. Candidates West Confronted With Problem of Rebuilding Line; Perkins, Ace Punter, Back at Hilltop School At the Furlong Pole Confronted with the weighty task of building a formidable line, if the Bisons are to go anywhere in gridiron circles this year, Coach Charlie West and his youthful assistants, Joseph Cole and Ewart McGruder, began serious work with the Howard football candidates, early this week. With the initial days of preliminary training over and the scheduled double header opener slated for October 5, lass than 10 days off, Coach West has called a scrimmage for late this week, probably tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday. Starting his second year as head coach of the Bison eleven which last season chalked up one of the best records in many a moon, Coach West faces a mighty problem in filling the gaps in the forward wall left vacant by gradua- District "bugs" are probably hailing the return of the hosses to nearby Maryland, and readers of this column are just as gleeful over the prospects of their arrival in Laurel Tuesday as racing fars are that the Sport of Kings is again within reach after the half-day at the office. There are more reasons than one for your "Tout," author of this piece, and his cronies to be pleased at their return to the oval midway of the Baltimore-Washington pike. Like Bowie, Laurel for many years has been a favorite among colored followers of the thoroughbreds. There is never anything but the highest type of good-will among the fans who gather inside those big, brown, gates which open on the highway. Fans seem to mingle with no thought of difference in station or color. That fact, together with the ease with which Laurel is reached makes Laurel racing popular racing. Then too, the inauguration of the "Daily Double" system of betting promises to send the 25-day fall meeting to a new high in bettor-enthusiasm. When Clarence Reid, the 17-year-old Washington lad who has been going great guns as a member of the riding colony these past 18 months, guided Merely to the winner's circle at Havre de Grace, last Saturday afternoon, it marked his automatic removal from the ranks of apprentice boys. Reid is now a full-fledged jockey ready for contract or free-lance riding. Raymond Smart, son of the veteran trainer, Matt Smart, still handles Reid's book of riding engagements. High School ce Football Game Cardozo vs. Nat. Trug. School tion. With only two seasoned veterans on the line—CaCipain Bish Hart and Edgar Patterson, both tackles—to use as a nucleus. Coach West must build the line from green material. Bootnose Williams, center, Lee, Bridges and J. White, ends, last year's substitutes, will probably get the first call. Perkins Back With Bob Anderson, quarter back, Paul Perkins, punting half back, Justin Plummer, plunging fullback returned to the fold, West's backfield worries are apparently over. In addition to the veteran backfield strength, a promising crop of first year ball toting material is on hand. Fifteen candidateats from Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools At the Furlong Pole Those of us who remember last year's running of the Selima Stakes at Laurel will probably recall that the event was captured by Nellie Flag, that rod filly by Nellie Morse-American Flag. They will also remember that the Selima proved to be somewhat of a crystal ball in that it showed what was to be expected of Nellie in later racing. The good filly was highly regarded in all the important stakes events of the 1935 spring and summer racing, and was looked upon as a strong contender for the winner's share of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness returns. Forever Yours, owned by Mrs. Ethel V. Mars' Milky Way Farm, is being held as the likely favorite in the coming Selima, set for October 19, at Laurel. Ray Booker and Johnnie Brooks comprise the remainder of the trio of ebony-hued hardboots on the grounds at Havre de Grace currently. They have already indicated their intention of moving over to Laurel when the racing scene shifts to that plant Tuesday. Whether Skeeter Holland and Charlie Jackson plan on coming in from Detroit it has not as yet been determined. * * * * "Tout" urges that you keep your weather eye on SUNNED when the racing season turns into the back stretch for its Laurel program.

LION OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT FOR '35 Coaches Rivero, Jones and Coston Pleased at Showing of Lincoln Squad LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. (ANP)—Coach Rivero and his assistants, Dr. Wayman Coston and Chuck Jones, smiled this week for the first time since football practice started and the reason for such action was the showing made by Taliafero, one of the most promising backfield men seen here in years With the first practice games scheduled for Saturday, which will be in the nature of a double decker, the Lion mentors are driving their charges hard every afternoon on Rendall Field, stressing particularly timing of plays and blocking. Among the candidates who are showing much progress are: Holland, a lad from Central High School, who is being groomed as an end and who has shown much promise as a pass receiver; Thomas, a hefty Texan, who is making a strong bid for a backfield berth; and Little, who hails from Massachusetts, also a backfield candidate. Kemp, Makes Ready For Lincoln Opener JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Special Dispatch)—Head Coach Ray Kemp drove his squad of twenty-five huskies through short intensive drills the past week in preparation for the 1935 schedule. Lincoln University opens the season Saturday, against the heavy Ninth Cavalry gridders of Short Riley, Kansas. Lincoln will have a lighter and faster bback-field than last year on early indications. The line will be considerably heavier; Kemp has the problem of uncovering enough freshman material to bolster the few returning letter-men. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune For the Defense . . . . Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rise as self-appointed counsel for a wronged man. The state has claimed and attempted to prove that the defendant has been guilty of treason; that he has permitted himself to fall into the ways of a traitor and by his own deeds has shown himself to be one of ill faith and disloyalty. An unsympathetic press and a bloodthirsty people have sought to make him out as a social outcast and an unpatriotic business man undeserving of the patronage of his fellow-men. He has been plastered with charges of sacrilege. The state has made no case. They have submitted no points and authorities to support their appeal for prosecution. My client, admittedly, likes to take a sporting chance. He might be called a gambler. I've often heard the term used but have never quite understood it as applied only to those who place money on preconceived results. In my humble estimation there are far more types of gamblers than these who make and take bets. As I have said, my client likes to bet—money that he has earned by the sweat of his brow—on the probable outcome of certain things. Prize fights, the state avers, are among those affairs which sometimes claims the attention of the defendant. And it is here that we reach our point. There was a certain prize fight held a few nights back, between a member of the race to which my client belongs and a representative of another group of people. There had been considerable speculation prior to the fight as to the chances of each man against the other. And there was a general division of opinion. Wagers were made on first one man and then the other in various sections of the country. And following the usual procedure, bets were made in this city. Your defendant, being a close follower of the game of chance, went the way of all flesh. He picked one of the two fighters and bet on him. His choice was the gladiator representing the other group. He was offered odds of two to one (which means, if the court pleases, that if he were returned the winner of his bet he could collect two dollars for every one he wagered) and he accepted. Although he stated boldly enough that he felt the urge to see his own flesh and blood the victor in this match of brain and brawn, my client felt that he was investing his money along lines that would best suit his economic status. In other words, though he liked the fighter his race was sending into the ring, he believed the opposition had the better and stronger representation. Being a sporting man, my client did not turn his back on the opportunity to capitalize on that belief. This done, your defendant was painted as a despicable character, a traitor of the lowest ilk. He was blasphemed for betting against his own color and blood. The general feeling, it appears, is that my client should have placed his money on the man who bore the mark of my client's race into the ring. This, no matter how much he felt—though ill-advised—that the opposition was the safer risk. Do you feel, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, those of you who sometimes follow the sport of racing, that you should select a horse named Adam's Apple to beat Discovery, simply because Clarence Reid or Ray Booker, sepias, is on him while the latter is being guided by Willie Saunders or Wayne Wright, Nordics? Do you believe, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that someone could talk you into placing your hard-earned dough on Sam Lacy to beat Bill Bonthron in a mile race simply because the former frequents U Street and rubs elbows with you daily? These are things which nobody could persuade you to do. And my client felt the same way Tuesday night. And may I ask your indulgence, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, for a minute to remind you that there is a slight possibility your defendant felt justified (though he now may regret the loss of that cash) in his selection in view of the fact that the same fighter against whom he bet, recently went out of his race himself to obtain counsel to represent him in a recent legal tiff. And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let me call your attention to this mild ridicule to which he has been subjected as a result of the state's feigned injury to its feelings. Since when did a man rate a ten-inch, double column picture in a daily newspaper for picking a loser? Georgies Seek Title Sabbath Tilt With Aztecs The Georgetown Athletics will play their final game of the baseball season Sunday afternoon when they take on the strong Aztec A.C., at Green Valley Park, Virginia.

Shaw Drills RALEIGH, N.C.—Although the practice sessions of the Shaw University Bears have consisted mainly of limbering up and conditioning exercises, several of the thirty-five "hazeful" who reported last Monday to try out for the football team are already attracting the attention of Coach "Himmy" Lytle.

A game with the Aztec A.C., which previously defeated them, is expected to settle the issue. These two teams meet at Green Valley Park, Va., Sunday. Georgetown Superior Sunday's double bill with the LeRoit Parkers was marked by a showing of superiority in every department by the Whitmen. They outhit, outfielded and outgeneraled their Jungle Cats opponents. Diminutive Eddie Lawson, south-paw ace of the LeRoiters, went down in the initial encounter, due largely to his own wildness, faulty support and the brilliant slab work of Bus Frazier.

The initial practice found forty-five huskies kicking, passing and limbering up. State has a heavy nine-game schedule which open on October 5. Coach Hamblin seems to have a very optimistic outlook, but he has a number of worries chiefly finding a center, capable line replacement, and a hard hitting full-back.

The examiner, Dr. Charles R. Campbell, Morgan alumnus and graduate of Meharry Medical College, placed O. K. on all accept two of the twenty-nine gridmen who make up Morgan's 35 sound. The Morgan camp was humming with activity this week in preparation for the opening game with Cheyney on September 28. Outsiders were not permitted to witness practice and the Bear mentors refused to make a statement or discuss the prospects of the team. It was felt that Coaches Hurt and Hill were drilling their charges on the intricate formations and plays which the Bears will employ in their march for the C. I. A. A. crown.

And cities not so principal as well. They came from as far west as Los Angeles and as far south as New Orleans. They made their way form the Atlantic seaboard LOUIS IS WEDDED BEFORE FIGHT Bomber Takes Bride In Surprise Ceremony in Harlem Apartment NEW YORK—Joe Louis, number one challenger for the world's heavyweight championship, was married to Miss Marva Trotter, here Tuesday evening, a scant two hours before he fought Max Baer, former world champion, at Yankee Stadium. It had previously been announced Louis would not be married until today, and the last-minute wedding climaxed a day replete with both rumors and denials. Surprises Friends Louis surprised many of his closest associates with his sudden marriage to the 19-year-old former secretary at a private ceremony in an Edgecombe Avenue apartment just a few monutes before 8 o'clock. After a brisk walk following the weighing-in ceremonies, Joe slept most of the afternoon. At 7:30 p.m. he was whisked downstairs to the apartment of a friend, Mrs. Lucille Armstead. Via the firescape route, Miss Trotter joined him there within a few minutes, and the wedding took place. The wedding vows were pronounced by the bride's brother, the Rev. Walter Trotter, of Clinton, Iowa. Julian Black, one of Louis's managers, and Mrs. Black acted as witnesses. Mike Jacobs, white, head of the Twentieth Country Sporting Club, was reported to have been the best man. Satchell Paige On Hill As Monarchs Win OMAHA, Neb.

Automobiles, buses, trains and even airplanes for two full days hurled their ineffectual bodies against the wall of themetropolis and vomited their contents of tall and short, fat and lean humans.

SPORT SCRIPTS By ART CARTER NEW YORK CITY (Tuesday Night)—Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, tonight sits atop the fistic world. His fourth round knockout of Max Baer, ex-champion of the world, tonight, brings his string of fight victories to 25 within the brief period of 14 months. His slashing, smashing defeat of Baer marks his twenty-first knockout the other four bouts were won by decisions. Louis accomplished what 48 fighters before his time had failed to do in knocking out the Livermore Larruper. Baer had the reputation of having never been knocked off his feet before his brawl with Louis. Louis quickly and decisively spoiled that unblemished record. Early in the third round, he floored Maxie with a volley of left hooks. Again in the same round, Louis belted him with lefts that sent him reeling to the canvas 'like a circus drunk on a tight rope who forgot to stand up. This time Baer was really out but the bell saved him at the count of five. Saved him for the destruction that blasted from the Brown Bomber's gloved-encased fists in the next round, and, probably, ended for all time the pugilistic career of Max Adelbert Baer. Louis's career as a boxer is the thrilling story of one of the most rapid and sensational rises in the history of the fight game. Raised from a cabin, the son of an Alabama cotton picker, the Brown Bomber rose from virtual obscurity on the power of his fists to the leading contender for the heavy-weight title. Tonight, he has proved to the satisfaction of the vast assemblage of fight experts that he is without a peer in the realm of clout. The question which naturally arises is: "Will he get a chance at the title?"

He sings an all-request program on Sunday night at the theatre. Carter, who has a fine baritone voice, not only sings popular music but spirituals with a fine religious sincerity. He has a voice of wide range-of, particular flexibility and sensitive feeling. He is just 22 years of age and spent most of his life in Port Washington, L.I., where he attended high school. He was born in Macon, Ga., but left there with his parents when only two years old. He came to Washington in 1930 and attended Dunbar High School, but left school in his senior year. Carter has been singing practically all of his life. He has won many prizes in amateur performances in New York, Philadelphia and at the local Howard and Lincoln Theatres. This young man was discovered by George Clark, manager of the Lincoln, who became interested in the youth while he was working as usher. Clark gave the boy an opportunity to sing several selections between changing of pictures and the popularity of the youth was immediate. Some few weeks ago he was given an audition at Station WJSV and was immediately signed for a regular presentation. To Study Voice Since Carter has been appearing before the microphone, his fan mail has been among the heaviest at the station. Hundreds of requests are received daily from colored and white listeners. Carter's ambition is to complete his music studies, which were interrupted due to the depression. He plans to study voice and piano. Besides his duties as usher, he works in the advertising department of the theatre. He is an only child. His father died some years ago. His mother lives in Port Washington. He visited New York and his home town last week, where he rang at several churches. Before he received his present position at the theatre he worked as chauffeur for a retrained army officer. Carter's real name is John Davis. Research by scientists in Holland has shown that the shape of false teeth has hown a marked effect on the voice tones of users. LINCOLN 1215 YOU STREET, N.W.

"China Seas" Clark Gable Three of filimland's most brilliant stars add to their laurels in the spectacular production, "China Seas," which opens at the Lincoln Theatre for the week commencing Friday. The stars are Clack Gable, Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery, together again for the first time in almost five years. And it is a stirring story of adventure and romance, a story that teems with lusty saction and abounds with strange emotional qualities that brings them together. The locale is, perhaps, the strangest and most fascinating yet seen on the screen—the wild southeast coast of China, last stronghold of twentieth century pirates. It is a region of howling tropical hurricanes, and of strange oceils. All these have their part in the film, the physical dangers providing a fitting background of the powerful human drama of fierce loves, bitter hates and sinister intrigue All the action takes place aboard the wheezy old liner Kin Lung as it ploys down the coast between Hongkong and Singapore, with the white passengers in the cabins and the coolies crowded into the forecastle. Gable is the hard-bitten young skipper. Miss Harlow is an exotic of the Oriental ports who is not ashamed to show her love for Gable. Beery is ap-parently a bluff trader in pigs, but his obvious occupation masks his more sinister activities as the "brains" of the pirates. A triangular love story develops, with lovely Rosalind Russell as the contender for Gable's affections. BOOKER T 1433 YOU STREET, N.W. ONE WEEK ONLY BEG. FRIDAY, SEPT. 27th A Love Story GLORIOUS...

"The Farmer Takes a Wife" Charles Bickford Slim Summerville Film-goers who have been looking for the superlative romance, those who seek drama, and those who prefer adventure will find all these elements combined in the simple, human, down-to-earth story of "The Farmer Takes a Wife" which will be shown for one week beginning Friday, at the Booker T Theatre. The picture stars Janet Gaynor in one of the most absorbing and tender love stories it has been her privilege to play; it exhibits for the first time the superior talents of the screen's new romantic sensation, ilenny Fonda, and it tells a magnificent tale in a style that will leave you troubled and strangely happy at its close. "The Farmer Takes a Wife" deals with the turbulent glamour and vitality of the Erie Canal scene in the early 1850's, and draws its dramatic conflict from the love of a boy fresh from the farmlands for a girl who was attached to the water life. Fonda is the boy who takes to the canals to earn enough to buy a farm. The life of the canal throws him into contact with Janet Gaynor, cook for canal boater Charles Bickford, and he fails in love with her. She returns his love. Their love story merges into the story of the canal people as the story proceeds. Floyd Hinnant, diminutive orchestra leader and John J. Jones, has been selected as booking and advertising managers, respectively, of the all-colored amateur revue, "Bits of Harmony," which will make its debut next month.

Dr. Fisher was grilled by mem- bers of the committee as to who Miss Lewis was, Al! he could say was that she was the stenogra- pher.

Howard, grand le- gal adviser for the Elks. objected to a delay, stating: “In view of the tenseness of the press and restlessness of members of this committee and the general public, we should get through with this mess and not po-tpone it. Dr. Fisher does not need a vacation. Dr, Fisher has made his report to us and should send it to the com- mittee of investigators and audit- ors now: Scoffs at Vacation “We want the report he made whether complete or not. If he has any additional report to make, he can submit that subsequently. But let us have wha: he has ready and get this thing settled. “Dr. Fisher should obey the mandate of this committee and turn over his report as it was sub- mitted to us; and this committee should insist that it be turned over by Monday. He needs no vacation. I don't see how he could take one with the matter brewing as it is. It is a stink to the nostrils of the people to have this mess stirring. “Tt looks as though we are wait- ing to cover up something by con- tinuously postponing this matter. No one will take advantage of Dr. Fisher. I will see to that,” How- ard said. , Howard told the committee that Dr. Fisher should not have any fi- nancial report to get straight. All finances should have been handled by the general secretary and treas- urer, he told the committee. , Demands Wooding’s Seat Dr. Holton told the committee that the committee on investiga- tion had to ask for the seat of Clin- ton H.

Housewives Owed $176 Of the 752 homes registered, only 40 were sent delegates, Brad- shaw told the comin:ttee, leaving 352 homes without delegates. Ac- cording to the agreement, refunds were to be made to these people who did not receive delegates. The total amount the committee has to refund for this purpose is $176, it was reported. In addition, $75.80 is due mem- bers of the housing unit who so licited the homes, as they were to be paid twenty per cent commis- sion for the amount of money they turned in, they told the general committee Saturday night. Mrs. Lillian Warrick, of Forest Temple, an advertisipg solicitor for the souvenir programs, report- ed that she had contracts for ad- veraising which totaled $575. Of this amount she turned in $442. The balance has not been collect- ed. she said. She was supposed to get a com mission of twenty-five per cent for money turned in, which amounted to $110.50. Of this amount she has been paid only $37,50, she told the committee. Money in Checks ‘The $37.50 which Dr. Fisher gave her in the presence of the committee, sealed in an envelope, was found to be in checks, Mrs. Warrick told the committee. “I was surprised when I opened the envelope at home to find that the money was not cash,” she said. ‘One of the checks was made out to the general committee. and er dorsed by Dr. Fisher, The check should have been turned over to the general secretary and treas- urer for their endorstment before it could be cashed, members of the committee pointed out.

There have been many charger but no facts submitted to bolster up such contentions of communistic activity, the secretary is said to have added. Results of a probe by Ickes's department at the request of Maryland's Senator Tydings are expected to be submitted this week. The investigation is the outgrowth of charges made by Dean Miller and others that Dr. Johnson presided over a Howard assembly last spring at which James W. Ford and Red leaders openly advocated the overthrow of the present government by revolution and violence. Miller Clarifies Charges At the cabinet member's office the Howard dean denied ever accusing Johnson of actually being a Communist. Miller told Ickes he merely charged Johnson with being a party to the presentation and teaching of Red doctrines at the university. It was then that Ickes warned Dean Miller of the desire of the latter and associates to break up Howard. In self-defense, the educator pointed out his faculty record, dating from 1830, as evidence of a desire to build up rather than destroy the school. After being told by Ickes that "genuine communists have best qualified to discourse upon communistic principles," Dean Miller says he told the secretary, "Your hospitality to communism is much more liberal than Americans would approve of." Ickes's department controls Howard jointly with a privately elected trustee board.

HOWARD (Continued from Page 9) hundred of the male students attending the university are enrolled in the professional schools. Fifty in Miner Hall That Miner Hall has room space for only fifty students is a fact that should not be tolerated, however. There in that men's dormitory can be found the dean of women's office, the dean of men's office, the office of the college of liberal arts, the office of the student council, the office of the Hilltop, offices of the superintendent of buildings and grounds and numerous other offices that are cheating out of a home men of limited means who are seeking a college education. The idea of these offices being in a men's dormitory is something that should not be tolerated for one minute, inasmuch as women are employed in each office. Frequent night sessions of the student council and the Hilltop staff are held in Miner Hall, attended by women students, as men who live in the building walk through the halls half clad. Faculty Crowds Students A few feet away from Miner Hall is the main building with practically all the rooms above the main floor vacant.

Students who are sent into the city to find places to live are lucky to find one for $10 a month. Nothing has been erected where the International House was torn down. It is not intended that anything shall be built there. The building, a ten-room one, had been condemned, an official said, but denied that the university had thought of having it remodeled. The only thing they had considered was razing it. Like Transient Camp Some students, coming to Howard for their first time, expecting to live in the dormitory, are reported to have returned to their homes when told that the dormitory was filled and that they would have to make out the best they could. Without exaggeration, the university campus looked like a transient camp all day Taurday, Friday and Saturday. Students arriving early with their trunks, with no place to put themselves or their trunks. All about the campus could be seen students leaning on their trunks "singing the blues,' "No place to go," they were saving. Many lounged around in the smoking rooms of the dormitory, while others were scampering through the city, desperate, as night drew near.

The college uses the Douglass High School building for these classes. It is possible for teachers and others to earn credits toward a Bachelor degree after their school hours. Plans are now being considered whereby the professors of Morgan College will be sent to strategic centers in the counties of Maryland on Saturdays so that the rural teachers of the state will have the same advantages in securing training while in service as the teachers in Baltimore now have.

For a brief half hour ninety thousand ring- side witnesses went back to those in- stincts of a thousand years ago, and millions listening-n shared the anxiety,, the thrills and the exultation from mo- ment to moment. Calm, almost indifferent, imperturb- able, invincible youth shot forth blow after blow with such speed and force and strategy that the opponent’s mind refused to function and his arms hung limp while his body sank to its knees and the spirit pleaded for merey. Hence Joe Louis was declared the winner. Even here, in plain sight of hordes with conditions as equal between the combatants as they could be made, it was easy to detect the inclination to belittle the victory because of the color of the skin which" covered the body of the victor. Men may avoid contest in social graces, in dconomic competition, in mental ability in tests and examina- tions, and in power to decide questions between man and man; but when it comes to those basic actions of the hu- man form, real championship may not be claimed so long as a contender arises. Prejudice will not save a repu- tation. May it not be that througli sports, the prejudice which mars democracy and weakens the state will give way to equality of men, and coming genera- tions will cast aside more of the hate- ful errors of our own day and genera- tion? Our youth and manhood as well as womankind are uplifted by the life, ca- reer and achievements of young Joe Louis. Pride in Your Community 0 live in any community is bo! ilege and a responsibility.

It means that other people combine with you in carrying certain burdens for the gen- eral good and that you must do your share, or you increase the burden of every other citizen, Most communities have a commercial or industrial background. They have grown up because people gathered at that point to make goods or to make exchanges, That activity made taxa- tion possible, and the taxes lightened the burden of the costs of the common benefits. Normally, that is the rela- tion. Business, then, supplies most of the Smployment and the taxes for com- munity purposes. Homes, by their tendency to combine into apartments, and by the numbers of the unattached Persons in the communities, gather the thoney into easily measured groups, Only when it finds its way into business channels, Agricultural communities are not so. There land is the most direct measure of taxation, and improvements next in order. The change from agricultural life, Manners and habits to those of com- munities based upon business, has been 80 rapid that many persons would have cities run like rural districts. Wash- ington suffered in that respect. and Still does. Most of the complaints, made to those cheraed with ronnine communities, flaw from the desire ta Have rural conditions aronnd the home lace, yet enioy the conriences due to Bustness enterprises, Tt ean not be dona.

As busi- ness lanes grow in patronage, side streets also change from homes te commercial uses, and people sadly, perhaps, but more often with profit, move away. Even by-day and by night neighbor- hoods change in their use to the com- munity and call for adjustment in liv- ing. It is useless to set oneself up against the demands of thousands of other people. Human needs must be served. In cities, everybody else does not so to bed when you do, nor does everybody have the exclusive social relations you may enjoy In some qufet hide-away, hence public recreation becomes a com- mercial necessity. As business areas are usually deserted after dark, those same areas invite such business as caters to shift from daily cares and burdens. Suburban areas invite rest. Hence suburban growth and city growth complement each other. If you must have it quiet, move into the suburbs. =e Soragt Sete Changing the Constitution - Due to long experience in our socie- ties and fraternal organizations, this matter of changing the Constitution ought to find us well prepared. Prac- tically every meeting of one of our or- ganizations is called for that purpose. ‘The contemplated change in the Con- stitution of the United States, however, is far more vital than any with which ‘we have been concerned, and it is far more necessary for us to discuss those proposed changes and to debate the whole document. It is common to find foreign-born Americans who know the Constitution, and uncommon to find colored citizens equally well informed. Men and wo- men who would split a lodge or a chu-ch on some disputed change in the basic law of the organization, will submit tamely to the deprivation of rights under the “Law of the Land,” Men and women marry and rear families, yet are ignorant of the law which pro- tects that family. Likewise they labor to buy property without knowing how that investment may be protected through access to the highest court. And they vigorously fight political cam- paigns without seeking to examine the record of the candidates as to the lengths to which they will go in their oath “to support and defend the Con- stitution.” Thousands applaud the visitors in oratorical contests without appreciat- ing what it meant when the Constitu- tion says, “We, the people of the United States, ordain and establish this Constitution.” Emancipation Day orators too often fail to impress their audiences with the parts of the Con- stitution guarantees in the enabling acts, 14th and 15th amendments, with- out which mere emancipation would be like a dog unleashed. Political spellbinders fail to show how in 1876 colored citzens were left to the mercies of men who knew the, methods by which legal fictions might be used to achieve a second slavery, more severe than the first, because each : person of color would have to be res- punsible for his own keep, and buy what he needed, hence compelled to work for what he could get. Thus the terrible cost and Constitutional consequences of the Civil War, were made worth- less, and segregation, discrimination and disfranchisement spread through every institution of the nation which prates of “Democracy.” By all means, let us have a nation- wide discussion of the Constitution and thus call attention to the fact that there is one and that it directs the applica~ tion of federal power where it has not been exercised, both in Congress and in the States. Organize your clubs and study the Constitution of the United States, Do it now! ————o—____——_ Te, mect the challenge of a world be- 'To meet the challenge of a world be- set by doubt, we've got to go some, and continuously. poco ie eee 2S aoe | Our Readers’ Opinions | er “On Earth as it is in Hell” is the subject of this minister's letter.

Gosnell,’ associate professor of Political Science in the University of Chicago, contains the first study we have had of Ne- gro politicians by a competent authority in Political science. There is an introduction by Dr, Robert E. Park, head of the department ef sociology of the University of Chicago, who gained intimate knowledge of the Negro while serving as literary advisor to the late Booker T. Washington. There are a number of illus- trations of noted Negro politicians, mainly local Chicago celebreties. = After a brief survey of the Negro’s politi- cal activities in general, the book confines it- self to a close-up study of Chicago Negro poli- ticians. ‘The battle-ground was shifted from South to North as the result of Northward snigration caused by the boll weevil and the World War, These migrants flocked to the Jarge cities where they found themselves segregated, in congested areas, ty race preju- dice which was as effective in the North as in the Sovth although it manifested itself in a different form. : The rapid growth of the Negro population in the various Northern cities may be judged by Chicago whose Negro contingent rose from 30,000 in 1900 to 234,000 in 1930. ‘The ma- jority of these migrants were of voting age: These black Chicago newcomers came mainly from the South Central and South Western states and were at once made conscious of their potitical strength in their new environ- ment. It is curious to note that the Chicago politi- cal leaders were indigenous to the city and not imported from the South. John R. Lynch, the vetersn Mississippi politician, is the sole exception and he took up residence in Chicago too late for effective leadership, MAYOR THOMPSON HAS WHIP HAND OVER NEGROES Siayor Thompson may be regurdea as philos- opher, guide and friend of the Chicago Ne- gro politician. He built up a Republican or- fo in the Windy City after a model of ‘ammany Hall which was as successful and as corrupt as its New York prototype. Both the Chicago and the New York organizations gave the Negro a square deal and accorded him of- fice in proportion to his voting strength, Under the Salers of Big Bill Thompson and Martin B. Madden, the Negs»es began at the foot of the ladder and were encouraged to rise to the highest places in their several wards and districts, They were given abun- dant patronage in city hall as basis for hold- ing their black constituents in line. They were none too scrupulous in use of this patron- age Bishop A. J, Carey of the A.M.E, Church und Big Bill Thompson were political buddies. ‘The mayor appointed this emminent ecclesiast as Civil Service Commissioner who died under indictment for malfeasance in office, Negro aspirants desisted from Congressional aspira- tions, long after they had numerically domi- nated the first District, out of deference to Martin B. Madden, whose loca! and national prominence qualified him to serve his black constituents better than any member of the race could do. Negroes in Chicago filled Flaces of rank and importance, both appoin- tive and clective, in city and state. Tmmedietely upon the death of Congress- man Madden, Oscar DePriest was chosen as his succe:or.. The story of his political rise, from whitewasher to Congressman, is typical of the potitical history of Chieagu Negro po- liticians. Perhaps the most significant event in the history of American politics was the sudden shift, in 1982, from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. ‘This tidal wave swept the city of Chicago and its Negro contingent into the Democratic ranks. Throughout the North the Negro was transferred from the Republican to the Democratic camp. Oscar DePriest, the rock-ribbea Republican, was supplanted by Arthur W. Mitchell, a con- verted Republican, who had beccine a staunch Democrat. But those who think DePriest is a political corpse had better follow the ad- monition of Josh Billings who said that if he were to preach a mule's funera! sermon he would stand at the head. DePRIEST IS STILL STRONG POLITICAL FACTOR A new thing under the politica; sun occurred in the DePriest-Mitehell campeign in 1134. Two Negroes were pitted against each other as the duly chosen candidates of their respec- tive parties. Mitchell triumphed over DePriest because party dicipline requires that all Demo- crats, white and black, shall vote for the party nominee. Mitchell was elected mainly by white votes. While Negroes constitute the overwhelm- ing majority in three Chicago Wards, yet re lative to the white population, they are insi':r eant. This is the surest. guarantee tha disfranchisement. will never be attempted in the North as it has heen in the South PTR eReR ee ONE ee tone} , A new thing under the politica; sun occurred in the DePriest-Mitehell campaign in 1934.

New York has a much larger population than Chicago but less political solidarity and audacity. Congressman DePrisst toures the large cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit aad St. Louis and urged the Negroes to assert their racial independence and dominate political units to which race prejudice had assizned them as Chicago had shown the way. He called upon them to elect their own Aldermen, State Lez- islators and members of Conzzess wherever race predominance justified it. Thus Professor Gosnell has given us Chi- ago as a model and guide post forthe Negro’s political lite in the large cities of thé North. He does not touch upon its repercussions upon the Southern political situation: but the fact that two Negro Magistrates were chosen on the Democratic ticket in a Southern city in the last election is significant ard sugees ie eo ‘The world's greatest need today is rulers who are in harmony with God. ———— There are times when we search for the reason behind our deeds. pe eg ake All-of us should refrain from actions that alienate. esas hase 5 ‘There js no unemployment season in charac- ter buildire ee ‘We must live together, after all.

That was the night when the Sage of Tuskegee, came to speak. It came to be called ‘Booker T. Washington Night.” Each year the great educator brought his message. He was the leader of the “sorry masses.” He communed with the “man with the hoe,” In those days, there was another man who lived afar off and was the most severe critic of Booker T. Washington. That man was Dr. William E. B. DuBois. Behind him stood the intellectuals, young and old, of the race. Behind these two men the race divided itself into “schools of thought” and a battle ‘was waged the full hisory of which has not yet been written, Booker T. Washington is gone these twenty years. But Dr. Du- Bois is still here. A few nights ago, he stood where, year after year, Booker T. Washington had stood, and made his plea to and for the masses, The occasion was significant, not because of the reputed change of front in the theories of Dr. Du- Bois, but rather because it disclos- ed him seeking succor and sup- port for his theories from “the erowd across the street.” DuBois, unfortunately, has failen out with the so-called intellectuals, with his own crowd. The younger leaders of this group dispute with him. | They are very earnest, he says, ‘but very ignorant. ‘Thus he turns from the hair-! splitting intellectuals to the warm- hearted, shouting masses. On “Booker T. Washington Night” this year, Dr. DuBois, in a lengthy speech deating with the economic and social problems of Negroes in the United States, included the fol- lowing creed: ANew Creed for American Negroes 1. We American Negroes are threatened today with lack of op- portunity to work according to gifts and training and lack of in- come sufficient to support healthy families according to standards demanded by modern culture, 2. In industry, we are a labor reservoir, fitfully employed and Paid a Wage below subsistance; in agriculture, we are largely dis- franchised peons; in public educa- tion, we tend to he disinherited illiterates; in higher education, we are the parasites of reluctant and hesitant philanthropy. 3. In the current reorganization of industry, there is ng adequate effort to secure us a place in in- dustry, or to open opportunity for Negro ability, or to wive us secur- ity in age or unemployment. 4. Not by the development of upper classes anxious to exploit the workers, nor by the escape of individual genius into the white worl|, can we effect the salvation of our group in America. And the salvation of this group carries with it the emancipation not only of the darker races of men who make the vast majority of mankind, but of all men of all races We, there- fore, propose this: RASIC AMERI- CAN NEGRO CREED, Unity of Racial Effort (a) As American Negroes, we believe in unity of racial effort, so far as this is neiessary for self-defense and self-expression, leading ultimately to the goal of a united humanity and the aboli- tion of all racial distinctions, (b) We repudiate al) artificial and hate-engendering deification of race separation «s such; but just as sternly, we repudiate an enervating philosophy of Negro escape into an artificially privi leged white race which has long sought to enslave, exploit and tyranize over all mankind. (c) We believe that the Tal- ented Tenth among American Negroes, fitted by education and characte: to think anq do, shou!d find primary employment in de- termining by study and measure- ment the present field and de- mand for racial action and the method by which the masses may be guided along this path. | (d) We believe that the prob- | lems which now ea!t for such rac- ial planning are Employment, Fdueation and Health; — these three: but the greatest of these is Employment. (ec) We believe that the labor force and intelligence of 12 mil- lion people is more than suffi- cient to supply their own wants and make their advancement se- cure. Therefore, we believe that, if carefully and intelligent ly planned, a co-operative Negro industrial “system in America can be established in the midst of and in conjunction with the surrounding national industrial organization and in intelligent accord with that reconstruction of the economic basis of the na- tion which must sooner or later be accomplished. Negro Workers Should Join Unions (f) We believe that Negro workers should join the labor movement and affiliate with such trade unions as welcome them and treat them fairly. We be- lieve that workers councils or- ganized by Negroes for inter- racial understanding —_should strive to fight race prejudice in the working class. (g) We believe ir, the ultimate triumph of some ferm of soeial- ism the world over; that is, state ownership and control of the Frageys of production and equal incomt. (h) We do not believe in lynghing 93 a cure for crime; ngr in wer as a necessary de- fense of culture; nor in vio- lence as the only path to eco- nomic revolution. What may have been true in other times and places, we believe that to- day in America we can abolish poverty by reason and the intel- ligent use of the ballot, and a hove all by that dynamic disci- pline of soul sacrifice of comfort which, revolution or no revolu- tion, must ever be the only real path to economic justice and world peace, Adequate Incomes (i) We conceive this matter of work and equality of adequate income is not the end of our ef- fort, but the beginning of the rise of the Negro race in this land and the world over, in pow- er, learning and accomplish- ment. (i) We believe in the use of our vote for equalizing wealth through taxation, for vesting the ultimate power of the state in the hands of the workers; and as an integral part of the work- ing class. we demand our propor- tionate share in administration and public expenditure, (k) This is and is designed to be a program of racial effort and this narrowed goal is forced up- on use today by unyielding de- termination of the mass of the white race to enslave, exploit and insult Negroes; but to this vision of work, orginization and service, we welcome all men of all colors so long as their sub- scription to this basic creed is sincere and is proven by their deeds, Wg ie Literary Alcove.

They said they came to go over the lines they were to recite in the pageant Father John's wife was giving for the benefit of the Ladies’ Guild. Father John nodded to them and they filed into the large front room of the rectory. A few minutes lat- er Carl noticed that the group was ‘earnestly in the midst uf their re- chearsal in the spacious stucco building and auditorium on the farther side of the priest's dwell- ing place. In, this’ buildnig’ the Young People's Vesper services, the Parish Dances, and other events that were not a part of the regular church program were held. On the next day Carl Brandon set out to learn a little more about Miami. Whenever he found him- self in a new environment, a new city or town, he experienced the thrill of the explorer, he felt as if he were starting forth on a journey of discovery. The day was bright and sunshiny; the tiny road lead- ing from the Episcopal Parish House to the street of small frame bungalows and thatched cotta; dwellings, -inhabiteqd by hamile folk of his own color reminded pim somewhat of the narrow streets in Saint Augustine, the streets in the zegion of Hotel Ponce De Leon or the Alcazar. He was in the prime of his youth—the memory of Pones de Leon caused his mind to rove to thoughts of the Fountain of Youth in Saint Augustine, eurio- sity spot fos tourists and visitors to the surny Southland. Two girls were walking along the road, talking animatedly to one another. As Car! approached them one looked around and said: “Hello!” “Hello!” Carl answered jovially. He was in a mood for forming quick friendships; the girls were both attractive in appearance, One was dark and slender, the other short and yellow-complexioned, “Going our way?” the dark girl asked, smiling. - “Yes,” Carl answered, “My name’s Jocelyn,” the girl said pleasantly. “T'm Carl Brandon.” «clad to know you indeed, Meet Idella, my girl friend.” Idella looked at him through wide open eyes—eyes that seemed strangely but definitely romantic to Carl. Carl was soon to tind out thal most Miami girls were alway: looking for joy, for the free ex Pression of the emotions that surg ed strong!y within them. They knew few restraints; knew no for: mality. ‘They took life. whereve they found it, whenever they foun it, extracted the sheer essence o joy. They lived in the present thought and cared little about to morrow. Sinilarly Carl was to fin out that Miami Negro wome blossomed like the ful! blossoming orange orchards, like the wil tropic flowers, like the waywar tropic grass. Miami Negro womel were wild and sang enticing song like the wail of the African so rilla, or the scream of the fast fly ing cormorant.

Herr Hitler has rendered a service by making it possible for the issues to be clear and unmudded. He saves Musso- Tinia from isolation, but he isolates himself with Mussolini. Personally, we cannot conceive how an international struggle that concerns human: liberty, interna- national honor anq individual free- dom could ever have been waged with Hitler and Mussolini on op- posing sides. Most of the outside world is quite unwilling to see either if those forces triumph — We repeat: Herr Hitler, der Fuehrer, has rendered a service by lining up with Mussolini. Il Duce. It is most fitting that these two birds of a feather should unite and fight, and fall, together. Hitler's decision makes it easier on the minds of » lot of us. “Huey Long—martyre.” ‘That is how every real man feels when some fool who cannot enswer a man’s arguments with argu- ments, tries to answer with blows or bullets. We can hear some nar- row'mined, short-sighteq people who do not agree with Long, or who. even hate him, saying: “It served him right!” "Those persons are,to be classified with the poor- minded man who killed Long When will we learn that such methods do no good,—that they do harm’ and usually the greater harm to those who employ such methods. Brutal assassination is not to be welcomed even against a usurping Caesar. Murder and vio- lence are characteristically undis- criminating: it is foolish to hope that they strike only at evils and at the evil-doers; they strike at opposition, They are brainless forces. By the time this reaches those who may read it, Huey Long will be either a great martyr or a great hero. In neither role will he serve the cause of any who may have aided or abetted or rejoiced in the attack made on him.

IDENT GREEN SENDS AP- PEAL. ‘That the American Federation of Labor is interestel in having the largest possible enrollment of members in the history of that movement is shown by the send- ing of a prepared address to Charles M. Thomas to read before the Economic Conference of the Elks at their recent convention. President Green said, “As far back as 1893, this Federation went fon record in convention as reaf- firming as one of its candinal prin- ciples that the working people Jnust unite and organize. irrespec- tive of creed, color, sex, nationality or politics.” ‘Again in 1910, in, convention i! was declared that, “So far from closing the doors against wage earner, no matter of what creed, color, nationality, culling, sex, the American Federation of Labor an- ually, exerts its ‘efforts "and ‘spenc irge sums cf money to bring them within the folds of the trade union.” € ‘Twenty ytars later the conver- tion declared that, “The Federation has never countenanced the draw ing of a color line or discrimina- tion against individuals because of race, creed or color.” In 1919, it was again declared that, "Where international unions refuse to admit adult colored work- Jers to membership, the AP. of L, is authorized to organize then un; der charters of the Federation.” Scores of unions throughout the country recognize and have color- €d_members in mary trades.” The hundredth anniversary of organized labor in Atserica and the history of the working man's and woman’s fight for fuller [fe dor- ing that century, argue for seek- ing the mutual protection and pow. other workers. ‘were so talkative, so gay. fa laughted so easily. They him had he ever been in love, They said that both wanted @ pal, @ boy friend. There was no restraint in the manner in which Jocelyn and Idella talked. Carl was simply @ goodlooking man to them and in Miami every colored person was just the same as a next door neighbor. And Carl Brandon, it may be noted here, was going to find it difficult in his later experience to find ‘among the so called conven- tional folk any who could give more sheer unrestrained pleasure ‘by their company than these sim- ple, unabashed, zestful girls of the deep South. The joy they knew and the joy they imparted was spon- taneous, and as free from the taint of sham and pretense as the winds that whisteled through HIS IRREVERENCE, BISHOP DIS-CRACE The other day I went to a New York theatre to be entertained. On the screen I saw Bishop Grace baptizing a group of white-robed dupes in the Potomac River. It ‘Was $9 anomalous to see the “bi- shop” of a church dancing a jig and pretty generally cutting ‘th fool before a camera, that it was not such good entertainment. Of course, I know bow auch things are usually done: the show people pay the church people, or the lead- er of the flock, to act before the camera, just as others are hired for such purposes. i do not know what arrangement the film people made with Bishop Dis-Grace, but I have my suspicions, Some of the sisters danced holy jig-dances for the cameraman,— some yelled out like idiots when the “Bishop” dipped them into the water; others shouted, contorted their limbs and made a great silly show. Mind you, it was not their nor- mal carryings-on, spied on by the newsreel-man; it was evidently a special performance pre-arranged to take place at their baptism of converts. Even the Bishop in his baptismal robes and his longish hair, cut dance capers before the camera and uttered a lote of silly stuff about his ability to stop the war of Italy against Abyssinia, ACTORS have their place and their rights: If the camera people had hired some Negroes to act a church affair, it would have been tolerable, and permissible, even if otherwise not commendable; but when a church leader allows his so- called sacred services to be turned into cheap show, it is nauseating,— and he himself is to be classified a- mong the cheapest of cheap fakirs. The thing is far more ridiculous than musing. BIRDS OF A FEATHER HITLER AND MUSSLOINI At first thought, some might conclude that it is bad news to hear that Hitler has decided to support Mussolini, "But for the rest of the world, tiat is GOOD NEWS: it disposes‘of two ele- ments which could nit consistently be supported by any of the rest of the world,—not evensby the Japa- nese, It would have been embar- rassing for England and France, and their friends and allies, to have Hitler as a Jonah in their ship, if they had to a:tack Italy.

There has been only one thing in the minds of the Capital City folks—the Louis-Baer match.

There has been talk of it for so long people have gotten about as restless as Joe Louis waiting for it to happen. The latest in sport clothes for men as well as women was being purchased to wear on this gala occasion. High socialities, the doctor, the lawyer, and the Indian chief all rubbed elbows together to discuss these two idols of sportdom—two individuals as vastly different as chalk and cheese and yet fearless fighters with an immense following.

Will Be Vacated Soon EIGHT Those Here Before Last Friday Midnight Are Not Affected by Order TRANSIENTS (See TRANSIENTS. Page 3) Transients who come to Washington looking for free food and lodging will be disappointed when they arrive here and find that lodges are closed to newcomers. The order barring transients from the local lodges went into effect last Friday at midnight. The order does not affect those transients who were being cared for before the order went into effect. Fred Hetzel, white, supervisor of lodges, told the Tribune this week. They will continue to receive food, shelter and labor, he said. 475 in D C. At the present time transients are receiving food, clothing, shelter, for which they are assigned four hours of work a day. They are allowed $1 a week for spending change. Within a few days these allowances will be cut off and transients who are now being accommodated will go to work at a subsistence wage rangig from $19 to $4 monthly, officials said. There are at present 2,756 transients under government care in the District. Of that number, 475 are colored, all of whom are housed in one bureau located at Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest. Meals are fed them at the bureau located at Seventh Street and Georgia Avenue, Northwest. No transients are lodged there, however, the building having been condemned for that purpose. One problem that officials will have to face as a result of their order will be the tendency on the part of transients now being accommodated to become permanent fixtures. They realize that if they leave they will not be allowed to return and receive any relief from the government. Face Arrest Transients in other cities have been notified that they will receive no relief if they come here, said Elwood Street, white, director of public welfare. Because of this notice, Major Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, said if transients persist in coming here they will be arrested and charged with panhandling and vagrancy. Any transient found here will be warned to return to his community; failure to do so will mean arrest. For the first time in the history of scouting among colored boys in Washington, an inter-racial relations committee met at the local Scout headquarters to discuss problems of scouting in the city. Representing the Sixth Dixion were Belford V. Lawson, Jr., Dr. S. Clark Carson and R. B. Stevens, Representing the District of Columbia Council were Dr. Paul Bartsch, chairman of the committee, Capt. Chester Wells, president of the Council, Dr. Camp Stanley, Scout Commissioner for the Washington Area. Scout Executive Linn C. Drake and District Commissioner Lucius E. Young were members ex-officio. The primary problem before this committee was the discussion and consideration of the 1935 budget for the Sixth Division. This budget planned and compiled at the instance of Mr. Lawson, chairman of the Sixth Division Executive Committee, is the first ever sent by the division for consideration and adoption. Representatives supported every item on the budget, which totaled $2,425.00 Included in this budget was a record of accomplishments before the reorganization of the Division and since its reorganization in March. With the progress shown and the need for greater facilities very evident, the group accepted the budget without question. Four Chaplains Named to Serve in CCC Camps In keeping with the plan to assign Negro chaplains to CCC camps occupied by Negroes the director of the Emergency Conservation Work here Tuesday announced the following appointments: Capt. Napoléon H. Stanton of Alexandria, Va.; to Company 352, Yorktown, Va.; Capt. James F. Howard, Mt. Winans, Md., to Company 2314, Kane, Pa., First Lieutenant William B.

Playground Instructor, Appointed Educational Adviser in Virginia Camp Conference Between Leading Officials and District Superintendent Held Indications that the petition for receivership of the Federal Life Insurance Company, filed last Wednesday by John A. Marshall, superintendent of insurance of the District of Columbia, would be vacated. were advanced along Washington's business front early this week. Following a conference between Mr. Marshall, G. W. White, J. E. Harris and S. Jackson, representing the board of directors of the Richmond Beneficial Life Insurance Company; G. Norman Branche, local district manager of the Richmond company; Simeon Cunningham, secretary-manager of the Federal Life Insurance Company, and W. H. C. Brown, representing a majority of the stockholders of the Federal Life Insurance Company, a deal which will eventually bring about the consolidation of the Federal and Richmond companies reached the final stages of consummation. The deal, according to officers of the two companies, has been in process since September. 1933. Won't Change Personnel The ultimate result of this deal will be a bigger and better Federal Life through the consolidation of the debits of the present Federal Life and the local office of the Richmond Beneficial. No changes are contemplated in the personnel of the agencies of component companies at present, and an increased avenue for employment will be opened when the transfer is completed. This consolidation of companies when completed will save for Washington the only Negro insurance company with home offices in the nation's capital and materially strengthens its corporate structure, as it brings to the management of the Federal the wealth of experience and directing ability of the men who have controlled the destinies of the Richmond Beneficial since its organization forty years ago. Marshall Approves Mr. Marshall superintendent of insurance, has approved the mechanics of the deal and definitely assured the group that his recent petition for receivership will be vacated as soon as a re-examination of the Federal Life assures him that the law has been complied with. He particularly complimented the group on their actions in protecting the policyholders of all companies concerned and viewed the deal as another vindication of the stability of life insurance. A recent release to the National Negro Insurance Association reveals the fact that the Federal By EDGAR G. BROWN Robert Fechner, director of Emergency Conservation Work, has announced the appointment of six additional Reserve Officer chaplains and eleven new educational advisers for assignment to Civilian Conservation Corps camps.

Wale, of Indianapolis medical officer of the United States Reserve Life Insurance Company has, since its organization in 1923, collected over $210,632 and returned to the policyholders and employees in the form of sick and death claims, agency commissions and salaries, over $148,049. It has at the time of this release no outstanding death or sick claims or policy obligations of any kind. According to the 1934 report of the department of insurance, the Richmond Beneficial had in force in the District $326,736 worth of insurance, on which it collected $29,154.36 and paid $9,340.65 in claims during the year.

These statements were made to Dean Miller in an interview at Ickes's office, the aged educator said. Charges of communistic teachings at Howard and that Dr. Johnson is himself an apostle of Stalin, have been made for some time by enemies of the school's present administration. Many observers consider them merely a part of the perennial attacks which all Howard presidents have faced, mainly by dispointed faculty members or by alumni for personal and political reasons. A few months ago, Representative A. W. Mitchell of Illinois from the floor of Congress demanded an investigation of the school's Red activities.

WEAVER To all appearances the New Deal will be hard-put to explain certain things to the Negro in the campaign of 1936. Not that the New Deal hasn't done something for the darker race, but due to its many ramifications there has been many discriminations and dark cross purposes which need clarifying. But in all fairness to the administrators of the New Deal, it must be said that the Negro has received some benefit from the whole scheme. Discrimination and all that goes with it, we must say, is traceable, not to the New Deal itself, but to the underlings found in the lower brackets of the New Deal Administration. Why the administrators of the New Deal would tolerate certain underlings, who have been known to exhibit race prejudice, is one question that will have to be explained to the Negro before he can, with a clear conscience, cast his ballot for the present administration in 1936. Take for instance the recent delegation of prominent colored citizens of Louisville, Ky., which came to Washington to lay charges of discrimination against the F.E.R.A. administrators in that city. It seems that the Kentuckians were tired of seeing the big New Deal plate passed around and the colored people getting nothing but the bones. Needless to say, they were corollially received by Harry L. Hopkins, who told them with a smile that everything would be taken care of. But promissory smiles, like promissory notes, are useless until they become due. These smiles never did solve the problems in Kentucky, or anywhere else. Like the Kentuckians we hope something will be done by the administration to give the Negro what he, as a citizen, and as a taxpayer, is entitled to have. Hundreds of Complaints Made Daily In this connection, it is hardly worth remarking that nearly a day goes by without hundreds of letters pouring inzes of the various agencies, complain- ious forms of dis- cussions. But as far as these letters get in active consideration is the desk of third-rate underling who sends out a sterotyped acknowledgement, and there the matter ends. Meanwhile the song goes on. To handle this task of answering letters of complaints, Administrator Hopkins set up a special office, and placed therein two Negroes with the title of "Specialist in Negro Correspondence." Their job is to read the complaints, and pick from their file of sterotyped letters written by the "Big Wigs", which ever form best answers the particular complaint. Negroes are losing their farms, and their homes, and as a result of it, criminality and suicide are taking their toll. Many of them have been prominent and respectable citizens who took their lives in their own hands for the simple reason that the "more abundant life" we hear so much about has done very little and apparently care not what becomes of them. Statistics show that more Negroes of promise have committed suicide during the last three years than during any other period in history. Suicides never did solve any problems, but certainly six years of hardship, privation, sleepless nights and continued uncertainty as to what tomorrow might bring will take the toll among the weak. So it goes without saying that obviously there is something radically wrong somewhere which needs correction. New Deal Has Lots of Explaining to Do The New Deal will have to explain the reason why it is so difficult for members of the Negro race to find honorable employment in the service of the government. The New Deal will have to explain why loyal party workers of ability and prestige have been kept running from pillar to post since the New Deai came on.

Goes Wild a Southwest New Equipment Placed in the Civic Association Contends Apparatus Should No. 4 Engin Southwest Group Asks New Equipment to be Placed in that Section "Mr. Luselah," the venerable 17-year-old pumping engine of the No. 4 Engine Company i the 400 block of Virginia Avenue, Southwest, can still pump water at the required pressure, but has only a few "grants" left. Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the Southwest Civic Association, informed Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom in a letter last week. Three new pieces of fire apparatus, two hose wagons and one pumping engine, arrived in the city last week, at a reported purchased price of $23,500 appropriated by the 73rd Congress a year ago. The Southwest civic body demands that all three pieces of the new apparatus be assigned to the Southwest fire companies, No. 4 and No. 13, and points out that they were the only civic group to help the Fire Department get the apparatus. Saturated with Ancient Apparatus "The Southwest section has passed the saturation point for old and antiquated fire apparatus," Dr. Johnson wrote. "‘Firefly,’ the District’s lone fireboat is 30 years old; ‘Spark Plug’ and ‘Fannie,’ 14-year-old in hose wagons at No. 4 and No. 13 engine companies can only make 22 miles an hour on level ground; and the 12-year-old ladder truck at No. 10 Truck Company in the 300 block of K Street, Southwest, is also of the ancient variety," he stated. "There is only one piece of modern fire-fighting apparatus in the whole Southwest section," he continued. Three fire companies have been removed from the area south of Pennsylvania Avenue during the past 25 years. This has increased the responsibility of the Southwest companies, Dr. Johnson maintains. This responsibility will further be increased when the Federal Government erects the $3,000, men Register Washington Tribune THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPT. 28, 1935 000 low-cost cusing project in the Southwest section, the Fire Chief was informed. "Southwest citizens have been seeking modern fire protection since the Gay 90's." Dr. Johnson wrote, "when the Pennsylvanian Railroad tracks were on the level and No. 4 had to wait until gateman raised gates so that they could respond to fires on the north side of Virginia Avenue. "Southwest citizens have played a major part in helping to bake a $23,500 pie. It is reasonable and just, therefore, when the pie is cut, that we should demand that all three pieces go to the Southwest fire companies," the letter concluded. John T. Rhines is president of the association. $200 FIRE IN H. U. ORM A fire broke out in the rear of Miner Hall, at Howard University, last Thursday afternoon, doing damage to the building estimated at $200 Miner Hall, dormitory for professional male students at the university, was all afame before the fire alarm was pulled, and approximately fifteen minutes were lost after the firemen arrived because they did not know where the water plug was on the campus. The fire started under the steps of the back porch of the building. Fire department officials said that a bed of trash under the steps had been set afire by a cigarette or by the prank of some children who were playing in the vicinity at the time the fire broke out. Cars parked in the rear of the building had to be moved quickly to prevent them from catching fire. Three of the cars were locked, and were moved after the doors had been smashed.

The thoroughfare was turned into impromptu "rings" where Max Baers were "knocked out" time and again for "Joe Louises" as hundreds fought for advantageous standing room near the "ringsides." Automobile horns made the welkin ring, while tin cans, whistles and just plain yelling made the street a bedlam of noise. Police stood helpless and indulgent as many acts that ordinarily would have resulted in an arrest were ignored. Crowds piled on the running boards of cars while street cars were practically at a standstill as hundreds climbed into windows and yelled at passengers. Inspector Kelly of the police de D.C.

After several hours some semblance of order was restored after automobiles were re-routed so as to leave the blocks where the merrymakers gambled a clear field. At the Cotton Club another crowd gathered, where girls in make-up and ready to go on with a floor show did their numbers in full view of the spectators in the main lunchroom. In front of the Lincoln Theatre was another scene of festivities. A photographer from a downtown paper was almost crushed while he was trying to take a picture of the crowd. It was all in fun and the crowd was good-natured. Here and there some youngster, either overjoyous or one who had imbibed too much, did some act that had to be curbed. One white woman objected to some 15 youths hanging onto the running board of her new, shiny car. She stopped to argue with the boys, but police quickly came to her rescue and brushed the youths off the machine. The carnival spirit prevailed the entire street while hundreds, all trying to be heard at the same time, made a jumble of confused noise that made none audible. The barber in the Masonic Temple who boasted that Baer would win, closed his shop at the end of the third round and went home. All in all, it was a jolly group that gave Washington and U Street one of its gavest and most exciting sessions in history.

R. O. IN DOMITORIES AT HOWARD Campus Has Appearance of Transient Camp as Students Wander Homeless By FREDERICK S. WEAVER "... I have discovered to my regret that the waiting list is so long that I shall be unable to assign a room to you. Realizing that you would like to get settled I am notifying you so that you may apply for a refund from the treasurer. "Very truly yours, "WILLIAM B. WEST, "Dean of Men." That message, signed by William B. West, dean of men, Howard University, and mailed to a student who had applied for a room in Miner Hall of the University, and who had placed a deposit of one month's rent in advance with the university treasurer, doubtless was sent to some 400 other students, as more than that number were turned away from the university and sent scouring the city in search of rooms for the school year. Of that number who were turned away, forty of them were freshman students, who had left home to attend college for their first time, expecting to experience that "dormitory life" they have heard so much about. But, like a pack of homeless dogs, they were turned away from the university dormitory with an excuse. "We're all filled up." In reality, that was no excuse at all. With dormitory space all ready limited for men on the university campus, officials proceeded to order the tearing down of the International House, where four teen students of foreign birth had resided, and went further and reduced the space in Clark Hall by providing suites. Miner Hall, where professional men are assigned, can only accommodate fifty men. It is the only dormitory for professional students, though approximately five (See HOWARD, Page 3) Columbia Marching Club Elects Miles President The Marching Club of Columbia Lodge of Elks met on Wednesday evening in their home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, made its yearly report, and had election and installation of officers for the next fiscal year.

Captain Arthur C. Newman member of the investigating committee, urged that all members of the committee pledge themselves to secrecy, and not "try the case be fore the court of public opinion." He made a motion that no member of the committee take out any information from the committee meeting. Captain Newman's motion was promptly killed when members shouted that such was "impossible." "We discuss this matter among ourselves and it is bound to leak out," one member said. "There is no way to keep this from the press. The press had it before the committee ever met." it was said.
