NEW YORK.—(Special)—"Let all northern black voters who are fools vote for Hoover in November and black voters of the north who support Smith should first vote for him and then commit suicide." This was the opinion expressed here today by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis magazine, in commenting upon the political situation. Continuing, he said: "If the democratic party was openly and thoughtfully planning to alienate the intelligent Negro vote in the north, they certainly were eminently successful. They opened their convention with an astrocious lynching. They segregated their black visitors back of a wire cage. They nominated for vice president, (an office which since the Civil War has made its incumbent president in four cases) a typical Arkansas Bourbon. Even the nomination of Alfred Smith does not relieve the situation." "Smith is an excellent administrator, and his attitude on liquor is at least honest, while Hoover is not; but so far as we can learn Alfred Smith has seldom been aware of the black citizens of the state of New York. He has given 250,000 Negroes of the state only one major appointment and has shown for black people not the slightest personal interest or appreciation. He has consistently vetoed every bill and movement which Negroes advocate. "The Catholic church, to which Smith belongs, knows no color line in all the world except in the United States; but here it is "jim crow" from top to bottom in church attendance, in education, in philanthropy, in missionary endeavor. "Finally, what ever Smith and his entourage might be inclined to do to attract Negro support, they are absolutely stopped from doing by their corrupt bargain with the solid south and their craven fear of the "liberal south". Dressmaker To Mrs. Malone Opens Shop Here On Broadway Dressmaker To Mrs. Malone Opens Shop Here On Broadway Coming to Gary to give residents of the "Steel City" the benefit of her many years of experience in the dressmaking art, Mrs. Eva A. Hamilton, a graduate of Lane college, has opened a dressmaking shop at 1951 Broadway. In a ceremony which was impressive in its beauty and simplicity, Mrs. Hamilton throw open the doors of her establishment today, and announced that she is ready to receive patrons. She was formerly a resident of St Louis, but has moved her shop to Gary, because of a deep faith in the future possibilities of the "Steel City" and a desire to be nearer relatives. The shop is said to be one of the most attractive in Gary. The place is attractively arranged for the work she proposes to follow, and commanded attention because of its inviting appearance. A reception room and siding room are connected with the shop. Mrs. Hamilton, from early childhood, has studied the art of dressmaking. Not satisfied with her accomplishments at Lane college, she pursued other courses in dressmaking at Snow college, at Urbana, Illinois, the seat of the University of Illinois, where she completed a second course in sewing. Upon the completion of this course and the receipt of a diploma from that school, she decided to open a dressmaking shop in St. Louis. For 16 years she conducted her establishment in St. Louis, catering to all classes and divisions of women, young and old; and built up a city-wide reputation as a modiste. Both white and colored were her patrons, as real art knows no color line and is recognized by all. Among her customers was Mrs. Anna M Malone, said to be one of the richest women of the colored race and many others of less distinction. Mrs. Hamilton, is a native of Paris, is Tenn., and, unlike most dressmakers, does not wish to be called "Madam." A quiet, modest person, she—but a real artist in the fine art of dressmaking.

Chicago Attorney Handles Criminal, Civil Cases Following his appointment to the position, two weeks ago, Justice M. W. Guy, East Chicago's new justice of the peace, has opened his court and activities are in full swing. Justice Guy was appointed to the position several weeks ago, and has received congratulations from many of his friends and personal admirers. During the past two weeks, he has disposed of a large number of civil and criminal cases, and has won the admiration of many who are pleased with his sense of justice and efficiency. For many years a resident in East Chicago and considered by many as one of the Twin City's outstanding leaders, Justice Guy has enjoyed many honors during his career. While an attorney, practicing in the courts of East Chicago and Lake county, he successfully defended some of the most important civil and criminal cases brought to the attention of the Lake county bar. It was Justice Guy who, without any thought of money reward, volunteered to defend Walter Johnson, George David and Oscar Brown, youths of East Chicago, when they were accused by police of figuring in numerous holdups, robberies and assaults in West Gary. Actuated by a purely humanitarian spirit, Justice Guy not only offered to defend the accused youths, but he was the first person to protest the treatment given them by East Chicago police, who are alleged to have violently beat up the trio when they refused to confess. This sense of justice and fair play has many times moved him to defend countless numbers of cases without receiving a fee. And his appointment as justice of the peace in East Chicago is considered by many a deserved reward for his work.

The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER MARY MAY MADAM WALKER EULOGIZED IN INDIANAPOLIS (Gary American Press Service) INDIANAPOLIS—The million dollar home of the Mme C. J. Walker Manufacturing company is "a monument to love and faith," so declared William Pickens, field secretary for the N. A. A. C. P., in delivering the principal address at the formal dedication of the Walker manufacturing company here. Praising the work of the late Mme C. J. Walker, Mr. Pickens, among other things said: "This building is a monument to love and faith. To love: this woman had a daughter whom she loved so much as any queen loved a princess, as much as any mother ever loved a child. A name, a future, a position for this child was the fuel of the vestal fire that burned unceasingly in the heart of this black mother. Like Abraham Lincoln, this Negro woman had no ancestry, but she would herself become an ancestor worth remembering to the remotest generation of her children's children." "And, the Faith that was in this woman: primarily it was faith in a man. In a day when there was the most general lack of confidence in professionals of any kind every kind, especially in relation to financial responsibility, and an almost superstitious lack of trust in educated lawyers in particular—in such a day Madam C. J. Walker, the Seer and the Prophetess, pinned her faith and staked her future on a young Negro lawyer. "At her death her this faith had become so settled in confidence born of experience that she did a rare, and almost unprecedented thing; she bequeathed the management of her estate, involving the interests and happiness of her beloved daughter and the final success of her ambitious ideal, to the head and hand of this same young lawyer, F. B. Ransome." Pickens pointed out that Madam C. J. Walker had only one problem to solve. "Madam Walker solved most of her problems that were worth solving when she solved her economic problem. She could not make a certain kind of Americans like her color, but she made them all respect it. Even that section of American Negroes whose own inferiority complex causes them consciously or unconsciously, to adopt the traditional attitude of American whites toward color, came in to meet this woman with their brows in the air; but before they left, they took off their hats, put on their best behavior, and acknowledged her for the great black queen, which she really was." Warren Cannon and Clarence Thomas, 3828 Guthrie st, reported to police that their room was entered Wednesday and two suits of clothes stolen By ALICE WEAKLEY --- He said: SUITS STOLEN GARY, INDANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1928 New Madam Walker Building At Indianapolis THE MILITARY HOSPITAL Nude Body Of Girl Found, Hands Tied Police Question White Sweetheart of Dead Woman; Fail to Find Clues After Investigation; Authorities to Further Probe OAKLAND, Cal.—A clue to the murder of Miss Ruby Kelly whose naked body was found with the hands tied, and body bruised, and showing evidence that the towel that was tied around her neck was used to strangle her to death is still wanting. Doctors say that Miss Kelly had not been assaulted. The murder was carefully planned they say and premeditated, as no man in a fit of jealousy, it was pointed out, would hardly kick and beat, then tie the hands and strangle to death so small a woman That's why advertisers choose The Gary American above the second newspaper, and why they use The Gary American in preference to the second newspaper. Advertisers expect more—and get more from THE AMERICAN. First in News, First in Advertising, First in Circulation, First in All Things THE GARY AMERICAN ATLANTA.—Uncle Tom's Cabin in the new film version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel will not be shown in Atlanta. Following vigorous protests as the result of a private showing on Sunday, the local board of reviews conferred on the matter on Monday with the Mayor and representatives of the motion picture corporation. It was announced Wednesday that the persons concerned had agreed to cancel the Atlanta bookings. Those making protests claimed that the novel had brought on a national upheaval following its publication and that it would most certainly be unwise to revive those conditions at the present time. It also was pointed out that throughout the south as well as the north efforts were being made to forget the things which brought to the internecine struggle which completely wrenched the south. "Let the past be past and let it lie in peace" one protestant said.

Some of the questions yet to be solved are: Why Miss Kelly did not scream while her hands were being tied? Why she was nude? What was the motive for the crime? Who was the murdeedrer? The problem was thought to be solved soon when Joe Donnelly and John Saleen, white, former sweet-hearts of Miss Kelly were arrested. Circumstantial evidence was directed toward Saleen who it is said notified the police on two occasions, "that there was trouble at the Kelly house." Saleen also stated that he went to the house, found the dead body and later notified the police. When asked why he did not notify them at once, Saleen replied that he didn't know. Hope springs eternal, and ten million middle-aged people tried strawberries again this year in the hope they might not act that way this time. JIM CROW IS DEFEATED IN NEW JERSEY Segregation Move Nipped In Bud By N.A.A.P. Long continued segregation of colored bathers and visitors on the ocean beach at Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been decisively defeated by the branch there of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today, under the leadership of the entire executive committee headed by the branch president, Dr. William J. Parks. For some years colored bathers had been confined to a small section of the beach. Then reports began to come to the N. A. A. C. P. that colored people on benches along the Asbury park beach front had been requested by city police officers to "move down where the colored people belong." The branch promptly drew up a letter to the Mayor potesting against this segregation of colored people along the beach. Two letters were taken to the Mayor of Asbury Park by the N. A. A. C. P. committee, Dr. Parks reports: "There were no discussions following the reading of this letter. The mayor simply asked what actions we wanted them to take. The mayor speaking for the board gave us the assurance that colored people have the same rights and privileges on the beach as any other group of citizens, and that no orders have been given to the lessees or to any of the emissaries of the board to treat colored people differently. STAR EDITION 3 Gary Public Library 9th Jeff News Residents of Neighborhood Claim Proposed Action to Establish Burial Ground Is Dangerous To Their Health GARY ELKSTAKE PART IN PARADE Dazzling Spectacle Is Seen By Many Who Cheer Visitors By MARGUERITE STEPTOE (Copyright 1928; By The Afro-American CHICAGO. — Winding its way through the principal streets of Chicago's Black Belt, one of the greatest spectacles that this city has ever witnessed, was the dazzling parade on last Tuesday. With delegations from all over the country, not to mention representatives from Cuba and the Philippines, the Independent, Benevolent, Protective, Order of Elks of the World, in full regalia, marched down, the streets of the Windy City in a parade that lasted four hours. Crowds began to throng the boulevards early in the morning in order to gain vantage points of view. At about two o'clock, one could hear the blast of drums from more than twenty different bands from as many metropolises of the United States. Among the cities represented, were: New York City, Buffalo N. Y., Newark N. J., St. Louis Mo., Kansas City Mo., Louisville Ky., Baltimore Md., Los Angeles Cal., Detroit Mich., Boston Mass., Philadelphia Pa., Pittsburgh Pa., Toledo O., Cincinnati O., Cleveland O., Birmingham Ala., Richmond Va., Washington D. C., Chicago, and Gary. Although they were competing with some of the most widely acclaimed bands in the country, the Gary boys did not fail to hold their own. Tramping down the streets to the strains of "Stars and Stripes Forever," and led by William Hargrove, youthful drum major, they excited no little comment among the spectators. The Gary delegation, arrayed in the official colors of the order, followed the band in the gala demonstration. Their costumes consisted of white shoes, purple socks, white trousers, purple sash, white shirt, purple fez. The official representatives from Gary were: Mr. Daniel Washington, Mr. Jack Harris, Mr. Charles Ray, Miss Elissa Taylor, and Mrs. Mary Stokes. Following the parade and homecoming celebration, the delegates retired to their various headquarters to prepare for the Grand Ball held at the Coliseum. Hoosier Offers Another Special Several weeks ago, the Hoosier Plumbing and Supply company, 126 Broadway, came out with a special on complete bath room sets which are moving fast Now they have a special for September while they last. Their advertisement appears in another part of this paper. India Interested In Race Relations NEW YORK.—The National association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received a letter from P. O. Philip, secretary of the National Christian Council of India, Burma and Ceylon, asking for N. A. A. C. P. reports and other material on race relations here. "We in India are very much interested in all questions affecting the welfare of colored people in North America," writes Mr. Philip. TRIES TO TAKE CYCLE A 14-year-old boy was caught attempting to steal a bicycle here Wednesday. He was taken into custody and turned over to the juvenile authorities. HOUSE IS ENTERED Mike Moaz, 3715 Butternut st., reported to local police that his home was entered Wednesday night, and $12 in cash, a woman's bracelet, and a pair of shoes stolen. Giving as their reason for the sudden attack on the new colored burial ground, the fact that their wells are "in danger of contamination," a group of property owners living in the immediate district of the new Fern Oak colored cemetery, situated about a block east of Colfax street along 49th avenue, gathered last night at the home of Robert Windsor 49th and Colfax, and made arrangements for a protest meeting to be held in Griffith hall next Wednesday night Disclaims Any Prejudice The spokesmen declared that it is not prejudice that causes them to be so determined in their actions, for if the 20-creet tract belonged to white people they would be just as determined in their fight. The opposition, they firmly maintain, is based on the damage that the tract can do if it is used as a burial ground. They claim that the land along 49th street drains to the north with the consequence of that drainage resulting in the contamination of several hundreds of acres of valuable farming land. They also say that their land would depreciate in value and their families be exposed to the health menace of impure water. In one of the two graves recently made there, they say, the top of one of the boxes is only three feet from the surface while the bottom is in wet sand. With this alleged fact they contend that their families are in danger as the wells used are only six to 12 feet in depth. Mr. W. W. Cooke, Gary architect and secretary of the cemetery says that the officers of the corporation have no intentions of giving up the project. Mr. Cooke, while he would not speak fully on the subject declared that all legal requisites had been met. Many have contended that they were unaware of the establishment of a cemetery on 49th street. Mr. Cooke, however, states that a formal notification of the establishment of the cemetery was published in the county newspaper. Many lots have been sold, and extensive improvements in the grading and removing of trees made, yet it seems that the farmers were asleep until the first body was buried until a cemetery was located in their midst. The ground Mr. Cooke says was purchased from the Hammond firm of Goostlin, Meyn, and Wetts for $13,000. Mr. Winsor at whose home the meeting was hold, sympathizing with the colored people because they have had so much difficulty in securing a proper burial ground, suggested that if the farmers make them give up the tract that they relocate another cemetery elsewhere.

NEGRO FURNITURE MANUFACTURER HAS EXHIBIT AT BUSINESS LEAGUE Pacific Coast Furniture Firm Sends Car Load of Furniture To Demonstrate Progress As Manufacturer of Negro Race LOS ANGELES—So important have become the annual meetings of the financiers and business men of the Race who form the National Negro Business league that the largest Negro furniture and casket manufacturing firm in the country is sending a carload of exhibits 3,000 miles as a demonstration of Negroes' progress as manufacturing producers. En route from Los Angeles, is a carload of furniture and caskets sent by the Hefflin Manufacturing company, Inc., of Los Angeles, Cal., to be exhibited at the National Negro Business league convention August 15 to 17, 1928, in New York City. Accompanying the exhibit is Mr. Emory V. Crain, secretary of the Hefflin firm. Mr. Crain, a native of Dallas, Texas, and a resident of Philadelphia for 10 years, has contributed much towards the remarkable financing of the Hefflin concern.

When the Supreme court declared unconstitutional the Texas law barring colored voters from the state democratic primaries, the white people sought to accomplish the same end by a law placing in the hands of the state committees the power to determine who shall have the privilege of voting in the primaries. Thus, instead of a law barring voters from the primaries the democratic state committee enacted a rule that no Negro should vote.

It was re-organized Sunday morning with the following officers: Mr. Jonas Hunter who was re-elected as superintendent; Mrs. L. B. Reid was elected as assistant superintendent and treasurer; Miss Luella Sandford, as secretary. The morning sermons delivered by Rev. W. T. Paulk were the best he has preached in weeks. The subject of the sermon for the 19 was "A Fool's Chat With His Soul." The text is found in the twelfth chapter of Luke and the nineteenth verse. He pictured to us what a sorry state we are in when we prepare for our physical needs and wants in this life and neglect to prepare our soul for life after death. The subject for the evening of the 19th was "Following Afar Off." We were made to see from this to what low estate man can fall by following Christ afar off. The subject of sermon of the 26th was "Passing By the Field of The Slothful, and What I Saw". The text was found in the 24th chapter of Proverbs and the 30th and 31st verses inclusive. He pictured the slothful- Will You Need New Furniture This Fall?

At this season, when soft nothings are whispered to her by him as they stroll through the meadow at twilight, there is a new significance in the sign: "Beware the bull." It is a Whole Life Policy-one that provides full protection without an increase in premium at any time during your life. This is the same sort of a policy, with the same safeguards, the same guarantees, as the Old Line Legal Reserve companies of America offer. Amply secured by Statutory Reserves and cash deposits with the Insurance Department of the State of Illinois. This policy also participates in surplus earnings of company; it has Trust and Income privileges to beneficiary and waiver of premiums in event of total and permanent disability. It is incontestable after two years from date of issue. Protect yourself and your family with one of these real Life Insurance Policies. First, read the table to the left and find your age. That tells you how much of a benefit you obtain for one dollar a month. If you desire a larger benefit, you can get double the benefit or three times the benefit, by paying two or three dollars a month premium. The younger you are, the bigger benefits you get for your dollar or so payment. Once you buy your insurance, once you send the coupon in, you have bought you insurance at your present age, and the cost never goes up—the premium never increases.
