Girl Captures First Prize In Elks' Contest Plans are now under way to secure Rosemont hall at 19th and Broadway as a suitable place for the "gym." Johnson was in Gary yesterday completing arrangements. He is trying to get a five-year lease on the building. Plans Weekly Bouts Johnson plans to hold bouts every week, which will be open to young men between the ages of 17 and 22. It will afford an opportunity for young men who aspire to a world's championship, to obtain training under the master himself. Johnson defeated Jeffries for the world's title in 1910. He is the only Negro who has ever held the heavyweight title, and is perhaps the greatest champion that the world has ever known. Under the plans now being worked out by Johnson, men of all weights from "lights" up to "heavy" will be included and can take "gym" work and physical culture. It offers an opportunity for young men to learn every trick of the boxing game, and at the same time build up powerful physiques so necessary to health. Johnson was about to open headquarters in Flint, Michigan but was persuaded by his friends to stay here. He has a gymnasium in Chicago, where young men receive physical culture and special coaching in the art of boxing and the one he plans for Gary will be conducted along the same lines.

Walker denies all responsibility for the segregation of the colored policemen in the Bremen parade in an unofficial announcement to George W. Harris, former alderman from the 21st Aldermanic district. Although the segregation actually took place, Mayor Walker and the Police Commissioner Joseph Warren deny all part in it. Captain Noble of the 16th Precinct in West 135th street has been asked for an explanation of the discrimination. LOS ANGELES OPENS FI COUNTRY CLUB F Thousands Attend Formal C lion Dollar Play Ground C Day; Beauty Parade Follow NS FINEST CLUB FOR NEGROESormal Opening of Mil- pound On Decoration Follows Dedication LOS ANGELES OPENS FINEST COUNTRY CLUB FOR NEGROES Thousands Attend Formal Opening of Million Dollar Play Ground On Decoration Day; Beauty Parade Follows Dedication (By Associated Negro Press) LOS ANGELES, June 14. — With camera men from four news reel companies "shooting the scenes" and bands playing, the Parkridge Country club, which boasts of being the finest country club owned and operated for Negroes in America, was formally opened and dedicated here on Decoration day. The spacious grounds and up-to-date club house were inspected by the thousands who attended the gala function. In fact, all of Los Angeles turned out to help the owners celelated the opening of the club which is reputed to have cost in the neighborhood of a million dollars. Rivaling the dedication and the accompanying exercises, was the beauty contest. Such a parade of beauties has seldom been witnessed and the judges had a difficult time deciding just who the winners were. After deliberating and deliberating again, however, Miss Mildred Boyd was given first honors and the pretty little bungalow which went with first prize. Following in her trail were: Misses Florida Washington and Dumica Farrington --- FIRST YEAR. NO. 13. MISS CHEEKS IS SPEECH WINNER Before an audience of 250, Miss Alberta Checks, of this city, won first prize in the Elks' annual oratorical contest which was held at Froebel high school auditorium, Wednesday night. Second and third prizes were won by Mr. Garret and Mr. Ward, respectively. The winners of this contest will be sent to Washington, D. C., to compete in the national contest. The winners of the national contest will be given scholarships to complete their education, from the scholarship fund of the Elks' lodge. This scholarship fund was established by Judge W. C. Hueston, commissioner of education. There are now 61 students in college as the result of this fund. Miss Checks, winner of first prize, is a former student of Emerson high school. She was ejected from this school, however, during the recent trouble which resulted in the outing of colored students from this institution. Her achievement in oratory demonstrates that success does not depend upon the appointments of a school plant nor the color of ones classmates, but it depends upon the ability to find and develop the latent powers within. The judges of the contest were, Senator Hodges, Attorney Miller, president of the Gary Bar association, and W. W. Cooke. MAN HELD FOR MURDER QUIZ (By Preston News Service) DONORA, Pa., June 14.—Eli Coleman, aged 28 years, of this city, who found the bdy of his sister-in-law, Miss Bertha Thomas, aged 15 years of Donora, in a hollow near Elizabeth, Wednesday afternoon, was committed to jail Thursday afternoon by county detectives pending further investigation. The Thomas girl disappeared from her home on May 3 and Wesleyan almost two weeks later Coleman reported that he found the body about 20 miles from her home, covered with leaves and stones. Coleman denied knowledge of the crime.

MADE MILLIONS PRIZE·FIGHTING "Lil" Arthur Says He Made Sum In His Career Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, made a million and a half dollars during his prize-fighting career. This was the statement made by Johnson himself in an exclusive interview with The American today during the course of a business trip to Gary to consider plans for the opening of a gymnasium. "About how much did you make during your career as champion of the world?" Johnson was asked. "Oh," he replied. "I made something like a million and a half dollars. For three years, I made on an average of $2,500 per week in vaudeville aside from the money I made fighting in the ring," he stated. Johnson's biggest reward during his prize-fighting period, he said, was the purse he was awarded in morcellessly crushing Jim Jeffries in the memorable Reno, Nevada, contest on July 4, 1910, eighteen years ago. He got $161,000. Aside from the purse given him for his defeat of Jeffries, he received several thousand dollars from moving picture film companies as royalties. During the whole of his career, Johnson said, he earned on an average of $100,000 for each of his fights. Johnson plans to open a gymnasium in Gary for the training of future champions and for business and professional men who are interested in physical education. N. A. A. C. P.

In reporting this donation Dr. H. C. Hudson, president of the Los Angeles branch of the N.A.A.C.P., writes: "Social leaders, business men, city and state officers are all taking a keen interest in the conference.

POTTER AGAIN IN RECITAL LOCAL BOY IS SENSATION OF TRACK MEET Edward L. Gordon, Former Froebel Ace, Stars SHOWING IN MEET GREAT May Get Chance To Compete With Europeans By JOHN D. SMITH Can anyone in the athletic world imagine that De Hart Hubbard has a successor so early, when it was predicted that a great many years would pass before his record would even be approached? All of this was brought to light by reasons of he brilliant performance turned in last Saturday in the N. C. A. a track and field meet in Chicago by Edward Gordon of Iowa, former Froebel athlete. Competing in the national intercollegiate as a yearling, and therefore ineligible to compete as a member of the Hawkeye team the forepart of July in both the running broad jump and the high jump. As a freshman varsity contestant Gordon's accomplishments have been watched attentively by his coaches and unrecognized by "nhe-wish-wellers," but the fact that he lead the yearlings entered, and placed second in the broad jump and third in the high jump, assures him as a certain contender for an Olympic berth. Makes 24:11 in Broad Jump Gordon's best leap in the broad jump was a mark of 24 feet, 11 3/8 inches, while Homm of Georgia won the event with a leap of 25 feet, five-eighths of an inch better than Gordon's best. In the high jump, Gordon cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 5/8 inches, placing third among all competitors. Second place was won by a leap of 6 feet 3 inches, just three eighths of an inch higher than Gordon's leap. At will, Gordon leaps the 24 foot mark, and in one attempt he was unable to hold his balance and slipped back into the dirt. This leap was measured from where he had fallen back into the dirt, and measured 24 feet, 8 inches. The measure to his heel prints showed in excess of 25 feet, and Coach Carl Olson of Froebel, who developed Gordon as an all around track and field star, yesterday stated he expected to see his protege eventually establish a new world's record to take the place of that now held by De Hart Hubbard, former Michigan star. Gordon visited his parents in this city Monday and returned to Iowa Monday night, where he will resume training for the Olympic trials in Boston. While a visitor here Monday, Gordon stated he would not compete in the running high jump at that time, but would concentrate on the broad jump and the hop, step and jump, the latter a distinctive Olympic event in which Gordon has approached De Hart Hubbard's record by two inches, since first taking it up at the suggestion of Iowa coaches. Walter V. Potter, tenor, will appear in recital Wednesday evening, June 27, at the Presbyterian church. The recital will be given under the auspices of members of the church.

He possesses a very excellent voice and the technique of one who is sure of himself.

Carey, high dignitary of the African Methodist church, was a visitor at St. James A. M. E. church, Sunday, and donated sixty dollars, thus assuring the members of enough funds for the erection of a new church in the near future. Services were held throughout the day Sunday, June 10, and the junior choir, directed by Mrs. Clara E. Webster, furnished the music for the program. Reports were made on the tag day by the committee consisting of Mrs Belle Caldwell, Mr. Enoch Dixon, Mr H. Caldwell and Mrs. Clara Webster, chairman. More than $200 was realized. Seven Arrested In Raid On Flat; Fined Seven men were fined by Justice of Peace Walter I. Good, Monday after having been arrested in a raid in a flat at 19th and Broadway, Saturday night. Seven B. Riggins and Gary Freeman were fined $10 and costs for visiting a gambling house, while James Coleman, Arthur Johnson, William Helps, William Robinson and Dempsey Price were fined $5 and costs for gambling. Frank Turner, tenant of the flat in which the raid was made, was released on $100 bond after pleading not guilty to a charge of maintaining a gambling house.

School To Give Revue At Theatre Roosevelt Students To Repeat Play On Tuesday FEATURED WITH CHORUS Theatre Manager Asks Revival of Show Pupils of Roosevelt annex school will re-appear in their "Hallelujah Revue" at the Roosevelt theatre, Tuesday evening, June 19. This show was given at Roosevelt theatre a short time ago, and the manager of the theatre and patrons were so well pleased that general demand has caused Mrs. Wallace to repeat it. Unquestionably, this is one of the greatest shows that has been pro- duced by amateurs anywhere. The prologue, a snappy little act, written by Miss Hope Dennis, proves how far "Hallelujah" surpasses all productions of previous years. Glen McAdoo and Stancil Ward rival Ford and Glenn in their clever song and piano act. "The Gypsey Camp," is a clever little thing woven around the "Aquil Chorus." The gypsies, their wanderlust, their weird music and their graceful dancing will leave a pleasant memory in every heart. Scene Depicts Orient "The Egyptian Idol," depicts the mysterious loveiness of the Orient. The curtain slowly opens, expelling a faint breath of orange blossoms on the wings of Oriental stealthiness. Maldens raise sleek, glistening bodies as though to take in the beauties of the mystic night. Brown arms wave softly above bright colored head-dresses; little sandaled feet simultaneously glide noiselessly over the sun-parched sands as a slow, weird, graceful dance begins. "Hallelujah," the latest popular song hit, featured with an entire dancing chorus, interpreting sixteen of the most intricate dance steps, could scarcely be surpassed by a chorus of professional dancers. Leroy Akkins, a former Gary boy who is now playing downtown theatres in Chicago, will take a day off to appear in this show, with his famous dance act, for his many Gary admirers. It's going to be some show! Cleveland Has "One Man Duet" Whistler (By Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, June 14.—In George Brown, janitor at a local apartment building, this city claims the distinction of having the only "one man duet whistler" in existence. George created quite a sensation among the tenants of the apartment building when he entertained them a few mornings past with an imitation of a train whistling. Being questioned as to how he did it, George replied: "You haven't heard a thing yet," and to prove the assertion proceeded to whistle in two distinct notes "Blue Heaven," "Coquette," and a number of popular songs.

SPEAKER RAPS MODERN YOUTH Revival Services At Trinity To End Sunday Carelessness of modern youth in its breathless pursuit of pleasure and good times, was the topic of a sermon during the course of the revival services being held this week at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, Fifteenth and Massachusetts, by Mrs. Bertha Smith, noted evangelist. The revival opened last Sunday and will close this Sunday. Her subject for the opening sermon was: "The Young Man and His Dollar." Mrs. Smith has been ordained by the M. E. church and has been an evangelist for a number of years. She is an associate of Katherine Whecker, noted evangelist of Oberlin, Ohio, now on a Chautauqua tour. The public generally is invited to attend the meetings and to hear the speaker. The revival will close Sunday night, according to information given to The American, by Dr. Frank S. Delaney, pastor of Trinity church. MEMPHIS, June 14. — A baseball game, with a subsequent argument, resulted in the death of Walter Brown, an eighteen year old youth and the arrest of Walter Hoyle, of the same age, charged with murder. The two youths, who were members of opposing teams, got into an argument over the outcome of the game and Hoyle struck Brown over the head with a bat, fracturing his skull. Brown was rushed to the hospital where he died a few hours later. When arraigned before the police court Judge Hoyle claimed that he had acted in self-defense, decking that Brown had attacked him with an ice pick.

SEEK SITE FOR PROPOSED NEW FIRE STATION New Unit May Be Soon Erected By the City BOARD TO GET OPTION Madison Street Station May Be Built Another colored fire department, the second to be given to the people of the South Side, may soon be organized and completed, if plans now being considered can be successfully worked out, according to an official announcement given exclusively to The Gary American early today. Consideration of plans to erect another fire station south of the Pennsylvania railroad is now being undertaken by the Board of Public Works, which has been instructed to get an option on a corner at Twenty-fifth and Madison, where the new fire-fighting unit will be housed, if it is deemed wise by the board. The Board of Public Works has been instructed to consider the matter by Mayor Floyd E. Williams and Alderman Arthur B. Whitlock, who, in a conference this week on the subject of improvements for the South Side, considered the matter of another colored fire department. Move Held as Necessary In order that adequate protection from fire losses may be given residents of that vicinity, Councilman Whitlock declared in an interview today, a fire station should be erected by the city at Twenty-fifth and Madison. The nearest station in this vicinity is the present colored fire department which is located at Twenty-third and Massachusetts. Since the erection of this station, the population in the vicinity where the new fire station is being sought has increased in large proportions, Councilman Whitlock said today. The need for a station in the neighborhood is very evident, he said. A complete fire department will be organized, a suitable station erected and necessary equipment will be obtained for the proposed Madison street station if it is deemed wise by the administration, Mr. Whitlock explained. The proposed fire-fighting unit, if erected, will be the second colored fire department in Gary. No other city of equal size is known to have two colored fire departments, and Gary may boast of a distinction which will put the "Steel City" far ahead of its rivals.

Every mode of travel has its parasites. At sea it is the stow-away, and his tactics have remained the same from the era of sailing vessels down to the modern liner and the days of restricted immigration. On land there has been more variety. Thirty years ago the railroads were the main highways for the hobo, who was content to view the country from a freight car door. Once these wanderers were numerous enough to be a pest to train crews. Now they are heard of occasionally, sometimes being listed as "unknowns" among the victims of a freight wreck, but they have mostly disappeared. Have they taken to the automobile? With their instinct for wandering, they may have seen that the great state and national systems of highways offer them the best opportunities. They depend on the good will of the autoist to "get a lift," an on the long stretches, away from the populous districts, they are generally successful. The spread of this habit of accepting or soliciting rides is an imposition on the good nature of auto owners. Their real object, of course, is to save carfare home. The whole thing amounts to a petty hold-up and should be stopped. The hobo's way of stealing a ride does not differ so much after all from the most up-to-date method of begging a ride. THE HEALTH QUESTION By Dennis A. Bethea, M.D. Health Editor of The American To be careful about one's complexion was once considered frivolous and sinful. The poet and the preacher of the olden days wore their faces as long as they did their coats, and sometimes longer. The facial paint box and powder puff were reserved for those of the theatrical profession and those ladies whose lives did not bear close inspection. But those days have passed and gone, along with long whiskers and long skirts. Never in the history of the world have we put as much stress upon personal appearance as we do today. We have learned that this is a blessing instead of a curse. Why should one hide his good qualities behind a screen? Every mother's son and daughter now wants to be attractive. However, there are far too few of them who are willing to pay the price. The money is the smallest end of the whole transaction. People are willing to spend their money for cosmetics, but this alone will not make one "easy to look at." Diet is a great factor in giving one a clear skin. You cannot stuff yourself on fried food, rich pastries, strong coffee and nick-necks and still maintain a fresh and unblemished complexion. The meals must be eaten at regular intervals. The day should begin with plenty fresh fruits. The prevailing custom of eating the heavier meal in the evening, is also injurious. One of the best aids known is plenty of sleep. "Early to bed and early to rise," will not make you "wealthy and wise" but it will also make you good-looking. It is just as important for you to get up early in the morning as it is for you to retire early. Get out and get the good morning fresh air. This will give you a good appetite and quicken your circulation. Cleanliness is another cost that many persons fail to take into consideration. They come in at night tired and sleepy and neglect to care for theri skin before retiring. The face should be thoroughly cleansed with a mild soap and water and then rub in a little simple cold cream or apply a lotion of glycerine and rose water. But the condition of the mind shows itself in the countenance, more than any other agency. If you are worried or peeved, or terrified, for any considerable time, you cannot be free from wrinkles or pimples. Fretting over trivial matters will bring out ugliness like April showers does grass. You avoid a sour sort of a person as you would a man with small pox or a man you owe money.

So this is civilization? Hooray! for the Gary man who discovered a method of getting to the mills on time each morning. He made arrangements with his daughter to call him when she comes in. The World War was not the longest on record, but the hang-over seems to be. If these young Americans don't stop these flying stunts they are going to turn all the big city newspapers into aviation sheets. President Coolidge is presented with a new cowboy suit, which makes it appear Western republicans are trying to change the party symbol from the elephant to the brone. So many thread-bare overcoats would not be seen in the fall if more people decided to spend their vacations "just inside their incomes." Statistics show that women get sixty-five per cent of the divorces—and men's pocketbooks show they get one hundred per cent of the alimony. College students who think they are pulling up something new in advocating "trial marriage" only show how young they really are. They will learn that most of these modern marriages are only trials.

All of this grew out of Carter being found asleep in an automobile here Tuesday evening, which had been stolen. When he was arraigned, Carter declared that he became sleepy and seeing the car unoccupied decided to collar a little nod. In the meantime, patrolmen came up, examined the license tag on the car and the number on the motor, and collared Carter and his nod. Magistrate Lindell is disposed to be rather skeptical about Carter's story, and it is feared that the sleeper will be a ward of the state at an early date. Decorate Streets for N. A. A. C. P.
