MAN SLAIN IN ARGUMENT OVER WIFE "The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All So fast was his run in New York university's recent relay race that Phil Edwards of that institution, has earned the pet name of "Greased Lightning," signifying a feetness of foot which must be awfully swift. Edwards is being mentioned as a prospective Olympic contestant. The almost unprecedented thing happened Saturday evening when Bishop-elect Stanley Jones declined the office of bishop to which he had been elected, to return to India as a missionary, thus giving up a $6,000 job for life for a $1,500 job of hard work in India. He is perhaps the world's greatest evangelist. Bishop Robert E. Jones presided over the conference one day. This was the first time in the history of the church that a Negro had presided over the M. E. general conference. So well did he preside that the conference passed a resolution commending him for his skill in handling the great meeting. Attempting to show the immortality of influence, Dr. David Johnson, pastor of First A. M. E. church, will speak upon "Lessons from the Fading Leaves" in Sunday morning services, according to announcement given exclusively to the American today. The Sunday services at the First A. M. E. church, 20th & Mass, streets will be, Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. at 10:45 a special memorial sermon which will be very unique and prac- FIRST YEAR. NO.11. DAVID RAPS ATTENDANCE AT-RECITAL Blues Singer Would Have Had Crowd Says Critic CRITICIZES BAD SHOWING Intricate Numbers of Singer Well Done; Encores Given By JAMES RUSSELL DAVID Music lovers of Gary were given a rare treat last Friday evening when Walter V. Potter, tenor, made his formal debut in a recital at City Church Community hall. The program was opened by the Roosevelt annex band, directed by E. V. Roesler. They played two selections, including a piccolo solo by a member of the band which was exceptionally well rendered. After the band concert, the curtains were lowered and the stage was set for the major attraction. Again the curtains were drawn and all was quietness. Not a sound, not a murmur in the spacious auditorium. All eyes were anxiously set upon the stage. Next upon the scene was Mr. Potter and his assistant, Miss Lenora Buckner. He was greeted with a ritious applause that resounded throughout the auditorium. Gradually the applause died away and again all was quietness. Then, as if coming out of the heavens, the sweet strains of "Freudu Und Leidvoll" came floating through the air, and it was evident that Mr. Potter was master of the occasion. Numbers Are Intricate He rendered fourteen very intricate numbers, including three Spirituals by Harry T. Burleigh, and "Water Boy," a Negro prison song by Robinson. The young tenor was heartily appaied after each number. So pronounced was the applause after his rendition of "Water Boy" it was necessary for him to encore. After the conclusion of the program and the audience not yet satisfied, he rendered two additional numbers. Mr. Potter possesses a very rich, melow voice that is capable of deep expression. He is an artist of much promise and no doubt within the course of a few years he will be enjoying the success of Roland Hayes, one of the greatest tenors of all time. The singer was very ably accompanied on the piano by Miss Lenora Buckner, a teacher in the primary department of Roosevelt school. Miss Louise McMackens teacher and dramatic reader gave a very impressive reading of "The Miser Fitly Punished." She was loudly applauded and also gave an encore. The Federation of Women's clubs, under whose auspices the recital was given, is to be commended for their tireless efforts in staging this program. That the citizens of Gary failed to cooperate with the management as they should have, is a matter to be sleepy regretted. The attendance wasn't what it should have been by at least twenty per cent. Had it been some ordinary person wailing the "blues," no doubt standing room would have been at par. Kiddies Have Own Radio Set At Party A home-made radio receiving set and broadcasting station was one of the features on exhibit at a birthday party given by the kindergarten class of Virginia street school Friday. The radio and broadcasting set were made by the pupils of the kindergarten class themselves. They invited members of the one "B" class to their party, and the group spent the afternoon making paper caps, playing games, and holding contests. They were served ice cream and soda pop at the conclusion of the entertainment. Mesdames Mamie Newton, F. Pierce and J. Powell were among the guests.

Finally his breathing became weaker and the doctors explained MATHER, Pa., May 31.—John Wade rescued from Mather mine Friday night after six days and nights imprisonment in a gas filled tomb as a result of the disastrous mine explosion, died at the Waynesburg hospital Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Wade, when found complained that he felt well, except a severe pain in his feet. Finally his breathing became difficult and kept growing weaker and the doctors explained that he sank gradually until death came. Wade's death brought the total number of known dead to 176, including four miner's bodies brought out of the mine Saturday morning, and another man rescued alive and having died in the hospital. MATHER, Pa., May 31.—John Wade, who was entombed in the Mather Mine last Saturday, was rescued here Friday, after having been imprisoned for 146 hours. Wade was not able to walk or talk and was severely injured in the catastrophe which resulted in the loss of some 200 lives. When rescuers reached Wade they found him pinned to the rocky floor of the tunnel by the slate and shale. It was also discovered that this pile of slate which had held him on the floor also formed a barrier which kept out the lethal gas which swept the mine and contained sufficient air pockets to keep the man alive. Doctors at the emergency hospital are holding out hopes for his recovery. Trouble in the Balkans merely acts as a curtain-raiser for the main act being put on by China and Japan. Probably within a year or two traffic over the week-end will be heavier at the north pole than it is at Turkey Run. “Senate Passes Army Housing Bill.”—Headline.

Meeting Bryant on the street, White is said to have engaged into a conversation with him in which he rebuked the former for the attentions he had been giving his mate. Bryant is said to have invited White to go to his home to talk the matter over.

Bryant's sight wound was dressed at the hospital, and he was later booked on a charge of murder at central police station. In a dying statement made to members of the detective bureau, White claimed that he was shot by Bryant when he warned him to stay away from his wife. Contrary to this statement, Bryant declares that White attacked him in the latter's home. White is survived by his wife, over whom the tragedy occurred, and by tour children.

Louis Mason, age 23, grappled with Detective Broadwater but was held until the other officer returned. He was lodged in the city jail where he is being held on an open charge. When the officers went to raid the place they found the door to the rear apartment barricaded with a bar. When the occupants refused to open the door, the officers forced their way in and seized a quart bottle, which it is said contained a small amount of moonshine. One of the men made a break for the bed-room and was pulled back by the detective. Two more of them started for the bedroom and when the officer stepped up to halt them, a man slipped up behind him and overpowered him.

Already three others have signified or been suggested as candidates for the office made vacant by the death of Congressman Martin B. Madden Judge W. H.

Leaders here have sought to narrow down the field and in doing so have pointed out that a three-way split of the Negro vote is fraught with danger by electing a white democrat to the office.

The invasion of a still strong king over Haiti today and the of bayonets. Ouverture were living today colour of a weak and help of American imperialism. Although they gave prominent mention to the deeds and valor of American white soldiers in the Great War, Memorial Day editions of white newspapers made the usual omission of leaving out the part played by the swarthy sons of Africa in the battles of the Monga and Verdum. Each an omission is a crime against the Negro race, an expression of ingratitude which the colored people everywhere cannot fall to resent. The services and patriotism of our people during the war was undoubtedly one of the factors which helped in winning the fight. The valor and bravery of our boys at the front; in spite of mistreatment at the hands of their superior officers, revealed the loyalty and stout-hearted devotion of the black man to his country. Individual deeds of valor and bravery attributed to the Negro soldier during the war are numerous enough to make a good size book, and the collective bravery and valor of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, the Tenth Cavalry and other fighting units were outstanding. And yet while daily newspapers, in their stories and articles recalling the valor and bravery of the American army during the World War made the mistake of not saying a single word about the individual and collective valor of Negroes, although they were loud in their praise and profuse in their illustrations of the parts played by every other nationality enlisted or drafted into the American fighting machine during the great turmoil. But such are the crimes of omission usually comitted against the black man by the daily press in almost everything. The tendency of the white press has always been to give excessive prominence to Negro crime and immorality, but to systematically ignore Negro progress and achievement. No better example of this can be found than in one of the most outstanding fields of human endeavor which white newspapers are concerned with today. It is an indisputable fact that aviation is the most studied, most reported, and most prominent subject of the day. The white press is full of it and full of the exploits of trans-Atlantic flyers and would-be trans-Atlantic flyers—of the white race, but never a word about Negro aviators who are making similar attempts to fly across the pond. In a few weeks, Herbert Julian, a Negro aviator of proven courage and skill, will start off for France in a Curtis plane, leaving a New York airdrome. Julian has demonstrated his ability to handle a plane with skill comparable to that of a Lindbergh, and yet in all the time he has been getting ready for his flight, the white press has not had one word to say concerning it. It is mainly for this reason that Negro newspapers are springing up in every town and city of any size in the United States. They are being established with the object in view of giving worthy mention to outstanding activities of Negroes, whom the white press seems to have made it a policy to consistently forget. TOURSAINT L'OUVERTURE Monday marked the birthday of the great Haitian liberator and soldier, Toussaint L'Ouverture, whose strategy as a militarist has been fittingly described in the famous oration of Wendell Phillips. L'Ouverture may be said to have been our first great soldier, and the soldierly qualities he displayed in wresting back the lost Republic of Haiti are still the marvel of military tactics and science. By his cunning and strategy, he drove back the oncoming army of Napoleon; by his persistent tactics in surprising the enemy, he saved Haiti from French domination and imperialism, with its attendant exploitation of land and resources, and its inevitable subjection of Haitian manhood to peonage and Haitian womanhood to bastardy. L'Ouverture saved a nation from a life of shame and from the exploitation of a nation stronger and whiter. Pity that he does not live today to resist the invasion of a still stronger and a still whiter nation, which is ruling over Haiti today and holding its people in peonage at the point of bayonets. Probably if L'Ouverture were living today, he would be another Sandino, a saviour of a weak and helpless people from the aggressive exploitation of American imperialism.

Of these elements, only carbon is absorbed from the air. The Illinois man who made his wife live in a shed for six months evidently is not one of the "woman's place in the home" clan. The warden asserted that Stephenson was at work.—Michigan City dispatch. Yes, sir, there have been some political indications that he was. One of the interesting things about the holdup of a $20,000 crap game in a Louisville hotel is that the house detective was one of the spectators. DR. DELANEY'S COLUMN By Dr. Frank S. Delaney, Superintendent of Stewart House Out of nearly 20,000 Negroes in the city of Gary, scarcely three score paused Sunday to commemorate the achievements of the American Negro soldiers in their memorial to their departed comrades. On Decoration Day, here and there, a few flags marked the final resting place of a black hero and those for the most part were placed there by father, mother, sister, brother or children. Visit the picnic grounds and the cheap immoral dance halls, the pool rooms and public protected gambling dens from which political bosses draw their graft at the cost of the virtues of little girls, starving children and often human blood. This is the most bitter, distressing, cruel tragedy of our age. I shall not discuss it further than to say that its cause can be traced to selfish, disloyal, dishonest office seekers and to debased, coniving disloyal Negro political leaders, who sell themselves for an opportunity to exploit the race for their own selfish good. They destroy the future hope and happiness of the race and undermind the security and prosperity of the nation. There must come to the race a new confidence and to its leadership a new loyalty. Every Decoration Day should mean a new personal consecration and should foster a new sense of gratitude. A Connecticut woman, only 35 years of age, has had 13 children, because her husband thinks it is "divine" to condemn as many little souls as possible to the bad fortune of having him for their father. The woman has applied to the courts for relief. Certainly there must be, or ought to be, some protection for a human being against such treatment at the hands of another human being. If she were an animal merely, any animal, the law would protect her. Most women today would get protection, courts or no courts. Thirty-five years old, and 13 babies,—and eight of them died. The dead ones are doubtless the lucky ones. When a woman marries, does she lose all her rights as a creature of the earth? There was a time when she, by marriage, lost all her rights as a legal person, but even then she must have presumed to retain the rights of a sentient creature. There was, long, long ago, a command to "replenish the earth," but some men are so ignorant, or beastly, that they do not seem to know that the earth has been amply "replenished,"—especially with their particular kind,—and that it now needs regulation and commonsense. No command would come from anywhere today to create reckless rafts of children. Children have also the rights of living creatures, the right not to be crowded, herded, and killed by the useless duplication of their kind. Theodore Roosevelt, who by the way had plenty of knowledge and ample cash to take care of a large family of children, once said something against what he called "race suicide." Slogans and shibboleths are always dangerous things in the minds of fools, and the slogan of "no race suicide" has served chiefly as a "respectable" excuse for boastly morons, without changing in one iota the convictions or actions of sensible people. But the awfulest "race suicide" is just what this Connecticut man has done: to rapidly bring into existence a whole unprotected swarm of little children and have more than 61 per cent of them to die, while the surviving ones may indeed perish mentally, morally, and spiritually, even if they continue to breathe for a generation or so. That will degrade and destroy the human race quicker than any control of the matter. Only a millionaire could do justice to the care of 13 healthy children, but not even a millionaire can make 13 children healthy if they are born of the same mother in about 13 years. This style of "race suicide" is a brutal imposition upon the woman and a cruel disregard of the happiness of little children,—to say nothing of the crime against the community that must suffer the consequences for perhaps hundreds of years. A few days ago the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced that no lynchings had been reported anywhere in the United States during the first four months of 1928, and added that a record of 39 years was thus broken. Yesterday Gainesville, Ga., reported that "a band of unidentified men" broke into the city jail, took therefrom a Negro prisoner charged with shooting (but apparently not killing) Walter Merck, 19, "member of a well-known family here," after an argument following an automobile collision. Mob and prisoner disappeared and the prisoner has not been seen since. His fate is unknown to the public. The capture of the prisoner was easy The mob simply went to jail, broke down the outer door and walked in. Where the jailer was is not revealed, but "members of the night police force were patrolling beats and the capture of the prisoner was not discovered until some time later." But what primarily interests is Georgia's prompt and decisive reply to the announcement of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. No lynching yet in 1928? Well, that is a situation easily corrected. Now they are trying to prove that the American Indian is really an Asiatic. First thing we know it will be difficult for an Indian to get into the Ku Klux Klan. Excavators have found the ruins of an ancient Roman department store which was nine stories high. No evidence has been found to support the contention that it collapsed before a wave of shoppers on a dollar day. The fact that a census of the soviet republics shows that more than 29,000 people over 100 years of age are resident in them is an indication that numerical accuracy is at a premium in Moscow or that reports of Russian hard times were greatly exaggerated. One of the modern wonders—"I wonder if that fellow ahead of me, with his arm out, intends to turn to the right, turn to the left, stop, or go on ahead." While the dogs are racing over at Thornton, all the gay dogs are racing over there to see them. Believe Chang Can Hold Line.—Headline. But he may be forced to kick on the next down.

Poet's Corner OUT OF THE DRAKNESS Does anybody care for me at all? Sometimes I ask myself Ottimes at midnight I hear a call. The Lord says to me "I'm with you yet." And in the morning when I awake I thank him for his power I love him, yes, for Jesus' sake He keeps me safe thru the darkest hours. Sometimes the clouds hang heavy o'er my head And the way seems very dark. Then I think of Jesus when he said, "Little children, give me thine heart." Yes, I know he cares for me The clouds all banish away I am able to sail o'er each day's sea And sing right after I pray. Does he care for you my friend? Oh, yes. I know he does He will go with you to the end For he is full of love. My friend when you are sad And far away from home Go to him; he will make you glad While thru this world you may roam. —Anna C. Kelley The graduate of the school of experience can show his gratitude only by endowing an accident ward.
