RED CROSS GIVES COMPLETE REPORT ON THE FLORIDA HURRICANE Loss of Life Nearly 400 In Stricken Area; Refugees Given Temporary Shelter and Clothing As Rescue Work Continues (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON. — With reports reaching the American Red Cross today that loss of life, injuries, property damage and numbers of home loss in some sections of Florida will exceed the suffering in the 1926 hurricane, the relief organization immediately urged upon its chapters throughout the nation the great need for rushing monetary assistance for both the Florida and Porto Rican victims of the West Indies hurricane. Palm Beach county, Florida, suffered greater loss than in 1926, according to the first definite reports to reach the public, which were contained in the following message to the Red Cross, Washington, from Howard W. Selby, chairman of the Palm Beach county chapter and James N. Gillman, chairman of the chapter's disaster relief committee: "Total known dead 400, mostly colored. 15,000 homeless. 8,000 with out change of clothing. Feeding 9,000 at organized refugee camps today. increase our official estimate of property damage to 30,000,000 dollars. Food and water conditions satisfactory, so far. Temperature shelter satisfactory. Sanitary conditions good along coast, but becoming very serious in western half Palm Beach county." A. L. Schafer, Red Cross director of distaster relief in Florida, moved his headquarters from the Mason hotel, Jacksonville, to West Palm Beach last night, taking his staff with him. Before leaving Jacksonville, he wired a resume of storm damage in 22 counties, as he had received it late last night. This showed that 18 of the counties had suffered no damage, or so slightly from the storm that no relief work would be necessary. Two counties—Palm Beach and Okeechobee—suffered greater damage than in the previous hurricane of 1926, and two other counties, Martin and Broward, suffered great damage. The first chapter that reported it had exceeded the quota set for disaster relief was Broome county, New York.

It is our pleasure to announce subscriptions totaling $10,302.92, $10,000 of this amount from the Endicott-Johnson workers. We hope to double the quota." Telegrams from all over the nation from chapters stated collection of money for the relief fund had gotten under way, with the able assistance of the press, the radio, and the clergy. Former Gary Man Dies In Kansas Mrs. M. P. Garner, 2184 Massachusetts street, has just returned home from Leavenworth, Kansas, where she was called on account of the death of her father, Mr. Richard Watkins, a veteran of the civil war, who died September 13, at the Military hospital and was buried with full military honors September 17, 1928. Mr. Watkins who enlisted at the age of sixteen years, was a soldier in the late company D, of the 116th regiment of the Kentucky volunteers, from which he was honorably discharged. He fought in several battles, among which were the battle of Bull Run and the surrender of Lee in Cettsburg. Mr. Watkins, who lived in Gary three years with his daughter, Mrs. Garner, from 1919 to 1922, had many friends both among the white and the colored people. Pastor Held On Liquor Charge CLARKSDALE.

WARD TO FACE TRIAL ON OCTOBER 5TH Woman Who Killed Husband May Get Death Penalty Charged with murder in the first degree, the trial of Anna Ward, 1716 Massachusetts street, who shot and killed her husband. Curtis Ward, as a result of an argument in their home last July 5, will be heard in Crown Point criminal court next Friday. Mrs. Ward is alleged to have shot and killed her mate following an argument with him over the affections of another woman. Two eye-witnesses to the slaying testified before a coroner's jury a few weeks ago that she was intoxicated at the time of the tragedy. They declare the accused woman took her husband to task the day before the killing and admonished him for going out in the company of other women. Ward, they declared, paid his wife no attention and went to bed. On the following morning, she again chastised him for being too friendly with members of the fair sex, and this time an argument developed which finally led to the shooting. Ward was shot in the abdomen and died a few hours after he had been taken to St. Antonio's hospital. It is expected that State's Attorney Oliver Starr will seek to have the death penalty imposed upon Mrs. Ward.

In recent years, great strides have been made in the production of high grade phonograph records featuring Race artists. According to recent reports the Q. R. S. Company will take its place among the leaders in producing the finest type of race music. The Q. R. S. Company has been particularly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Art Satherly to direct the activities of its phonograph record division. Few men in the field are as well equipped for the position as this great director. For more than 20 years, he has been directly associated with the race record business, having spent the last 15 years with the Paramount company. Cop Finds Gambler Wearing His Suit (By Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROCK—While "shaking down" a participant in a crap game here, Sergt. George Merriman, white, noticed that the offender wore a vest of a familiar pattern. Investigation disclosed that it was the vest to a suit which had been stolen from the sergeant. The wearer of the vest took the officer to Nathaniel Wilson, who was wearing the other part of the suit. Wilson was arrested and a charge of petit larceny placed against him. The suit had been stolen several weeks ago at police headquarters where Witson had worked out the FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1928 GORILLA JONES Gorilla Jones, coming young welterweight from the Buckeye State, who sport welterweight as one of the most promising gladiators of the col- SLAYER OF WM. WARD STILL AT LARGE AFTER THREE WEEKS (Gary American Press Service) KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Because of her excellent work in Knoxville public schools, Mrs. Ida Wood, well known woman educator, and wife of Dr. Charles R. Wood, of Gary, Ind., has been principal of the new McMillan school of this city. She will have associated with her a group of teachers and the direction and supervision of the school will be in her charge. Mrs. Wood has been a teacher the public schools here for many years, formerly being an instructor in the Sam E. Hill school at Lonsdale, and in this length of time has built up an enviable reputation as a teacher. On several occasions she has contemplated giving up her work here, but she is so well liked and has done so much to build up the schools of this city that she has been persuaded to stay. The new McMillan school, which Mrs. Wood will head as principal, is one of the most modern schools in Knoxville. The building in which this school will be housed was formerly occupied by white children as a school site. At a recent meeting of the school board, it was decided to turn the structure over to the colored people of this city for their own school, with Mrs. Wood as principal. Alfred E. Smith carried a brown derby to Omaha, but not to win the woman vote. Three weeks have passed and police have been unable to apprehend Mrs. Jesse Davis, 2367 Fillmore, who is alleged to have shot and killed William Ward in front of the U. N. I. A. hall, 2128 Washington street, nearly a month ago. Mrs. Davis is said to have shot and killed Ward when the latter "got the best" of her husband in a fight in front of the local U. N. I. A. meeting place. The encounter is said to have started over the action of Davis, the woman's husband, when he ordered Ward out of the hall for disorderly conduct. Mrs. Davis is said to have been informed that the two men were engaged in a fight in front of the building when she emerged from the hall and fired a pistol shot into the back of her husband's assault. She fled following the shootings and police have been unable to find her as yet. Detective Sergeant John Bolden, reputed "ace" of the local detective bureau, has been assigned to the case. He expects to find clues leading to the capture and arrest of the Davis woman as a fugitive from justice. Byrd Drops Negro On Pole Flight (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK.-Because the captain of the City of New York, Commander Richard Byrd's flagship in his journey to the South Pole, did not think Robert Scott Lanier, colored stowaway who had been given the privilege of making the trip, was strong enough. Lanier was dropped when the ship reached Colon in the Canal Zone. Lanier was one of three stowaways discovered on the ship just after it pulled out of New York. The other two were white and were not permitted to start on the voyage Negro Regent Of Abyssinia Charged With Murder Plot Armenian Doctor Accuses Ras Taffari of Murder Scheme Before Geneva Labor Bureau; Claims Life Was Threatened By PAUL SCOTT MOWRER (By Cable to The Gary American) (Copyright: 1928: By Gary American, Inc.) GENEVA.—A fantastic Arabian Nights tale of poisoning and oppression at the Court of Ras Taffari, regent of Abyssinia, was laid before Mayor Johnson, one of the British officials of the International Labor Bureau, today. The complainant was Dr. Alexander Garabedian, an Armenian now without a country, but holding a so- Dr. Garabedian's charge, in brief, is that he was asked by Ras Taffari to convince at the poisoning first of Ras Taffari's mother-in-law, then on the empress, a daughter of former Emperor Menelik. When he refused, he says, he was persecuted, exiled, imprisoned, broken in health and materially ruined, for all of which he claims damage of $120,000. Dr. Garabedian cites as witnesses the staff of the American Mission hospital at Addis Abeba, and especially the English lawyer, T. R. S. Fraser, said to be a member of the American Association of International Law, who recently visited Abyssinia. Armenian's Story Dr. Garabedian, after escaping from Abyssinia, arrived in Geneva eighteen days ago. His story, the correspondent has seen in writing and heard verbally, may be summarized as follows: His family was massacred by the Turks. He came to Europe, was graduated in medicine at Lansanne, served in the Lansanne hospital, then in the French hospital at Haracle, Asia Minor, and then in 1922 went to Addis Abeba to establish a practice among the large Greek and Armenian population there. Immediately he fell afoul of a rival Greek doctor, against whom he makes serious charges, but he persisted, was successful, and was treated politely by Ras Taffari, eventually being named chief surgeon of the Menelik hospital. But Ras Taffari, who on the death of Emperor Menelik in 1916 forcibly usurped the throne from his cousin, Prince Yassou, the emperor's grandson and rightful heir, desires, it is said, to become emperor, but has two powerful opponents, both women. They are his mother-in-law, who also is Yassou's sister, and the empress, Menelik's daughter. Many rumors are current in Addis Abeba, according to Dr. Garabedian, about the strange ways in which people uncongenial to the regent pine and die. Placing poison in food is said to be easy because of the large quantity of red pepper used, which conceals odd tastes. Mother-in-Law Died Two years ago, the royal mother-in-law fell ill. Ras Taffari summoned Dr. Garabedian and asked him to treat her, at the same time intimating that he desired her death. Dr. Garabedian alleges. He refused indignantly and resigned his official functions, returning to private practice. The rival Greek doctor then was called in and the royal mother-in-law soon died. Ras Taffarl, according to the story, now feared Dr. Garabedian. He continued to flatter the physician and in due time proposed that he should treat fatally another personage of the royal household, this time the empress herself, holding out promises of favor and riches if he accepted. Dr. Garabedian's refusal led, he asserts, to a police plot engineered by the rival Greek doctor. Dr. Garabedian lay ill with pleurisy. The rival doctor forced his way into the house with a rabble of police, but without a warrant, and charged Dr. Garabedian with selling cocaine to a native boy. A servant was dragged off to jail and an effort made to Urges Training CARL DITON Copyrighted, 1928, by the National Feature Service. Carl Diton, retiring president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, speaking before delegates to the tenth annual convention of the association, declared that "lack of education among musicians throughout the world is one of the things that has held back the appreciation of good music." force him to testify against his master. Dr. Garabedian brought suit against the Greek doctor, employing an English lawyer, but before trial of the case Garabedian was ordered expelled from the country. The public took sides. Ras Taffari commuted the order to six months of exile in a desert town, where Dr. Garabedian's health rapidly failed and he contracted tuberculosis. He was allowed to return to Addis Abeba and closely interned in a hospital, from which he was rescued by the English lawyer, Fraser. Now began, according to the story, a series of persecutions by the police and mobs. The doctor's house was surrounded, friends were forbidden to enter and he was forbidden to go out. He was left alone, helpless, in bed, without servants or food or medical care. BISHOP URGES GREATER AMITY M. E. Bishop Pleads for Friendship In Country (From The American's Bureau) CHICAGO—A more friendly relation should exist between the colored people of the United States and their white brethren, Bishop Edwin Hughes, of the Methodist Episcopal church, declared in an address to a group of ministers at a reception given in his honor here. ing the loyalty of the Negro hin Mystery Surrounds Disappearance and Quick Return (Amsterdam News Service) NEW YORK.—The element of mystery surrounding the disappearance Thursday night and the return early Monday morning of Casper Holstein, wealthy Harlem sportsman, has not entirely been dispelled, and perhaps never will be. No one—neither the police nor Holstein himself—knows where he was taken and held captive when he was kidnapped by gangsters who demanded $50,000 ransom. Holstein said he was blind-folded all the time. The mystery deepened throughout the tense period of his absence when it was persistently reported by those supposed to be in "the know" that "everything is alright," "he is in good hands," "yes, he has been heard from and he is in good health," "no, they did not beat him up," and "he'll be back at least by Thursday." Holstein himself said that one of the gang leaders who had him in custody was a "very nice fellow." Except for hunger and a few bruises Holstein seemed not much the worse for his ordeal, and he greeted everyone with a happy smile. Holstein's appearance was quite unkempt, but he appeared to smile a little too brightly for a beaten man without food for three days. He wore a gray suit and overcoat. Blood stains were on his fancy purple shirt, but none on his blue, striped tie. His shirt was open at the throat. More Kidnappings Planned! On the person of one of the prisoners the police say they found a list of wealthy Negroes who were to be kidnapped. The names are said to have included Edwin Small, proprietor of Small's Paradise night club; Junius M. Green, bondman; Leroy Wilkins, night club owner, and Jack Nall and Watt Terry, real estate operators. Prior to his disappearance, Holstein is said to have sent $5,000 cash and shipped $4,300 in timber to the Virgin Islands, his native home, for storm relief. to his country, the speaker pointed to the heroism of Christus Attucks and other heroes who gave their lives in times of war for their country and its flag. He particularly emphasized the part enacted by Negro soldiers in the World War, and declared that the colored man's patriotism entitles him to every humane consideration in the gift of the Christian people of America. Five Negro ministers attended the reception, among whom were the Rev. Hermes Zimmerman of Evanston, Ill., and formerly of Gary, Ind., the Rev. A. Pettil, and R. Washington of the M. E. book concern. The Rev. Zimmerman is pastor of St. Paul M. E. church of Evanston, which has a membership of 85 persons. Man Slain While Arguing Over Bill (By Associated Negro Press) SHIREVEPOT. — A charge of manslaughter has been filed against A. M. Heffner, representing an insurance company, for the death of Mose Johnson, Negro, resulting from an encounter between the two men at Johnson's house, where Heffner called to make final payment on a claim held by Johnson, whose refusal to accept a torn bill is said to have provoked the trouble. Heffner, who used a stick of wood for his weapon, claimed self-defense declaring that Johnson had a knife after him. TARIFF SEEN AS A BIG ISSUE TO NEGRO VOTERS Woman Leader Warns Against Losing Sight of Law (By A. N. P. Night Wire) CHICAGO.—Colored citizens may think that the national issues of restricted immigration and protective tariff have little bearing on their lives, since they are neither foreigners nor capitalists. But that is a big mistake. Most foreign countries have an over population of desperately poor people who are eager to enter America. Once in they cheapen the labor market and lower the standard of American living." Such is the opinion of Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, Kansas City, Missouri, business woman, prominent women's clubs worker and director of republican campaign activities among colored women of the west. She continues: "I speak to the colored woman. Your man must work for less, if a flood of immigrants is permitted to enter America, or lose his job. What can be of more vital concern to the wives and mothers of the race?" "The republican party has always maintained tariff for protection of American products against the foreign products of cheap labor. It has made the American workman, as pointed out in Mr. Hoover's Newark address, the best paid in the world. "It has protected the masses against the terrible poverty of other lands, where wage earners do not ride to work in their automobiles, nor do their wives operate electrical washers and sweepers in their homes. "What can you think of the party which advocates the abolition of immigration restrictions, or that would decrease the tariff on foreign goods? Does it not expose itself as an enemy of your happy home, your pay check and your chance to live and to enjoy the best that America affords? "The following is an excellent example of how the unrestricted immigration problem works itself out: A Mexican in Los Angeles applied to a charity bureau for hair cuts for his thirty-three sons and daughters. At this rate he could become grandfather to 1089 children. The American father hustles to feed and educate three children, and can possibly expect nine grandchildren. The number of Mexicans already in this country just about equals the number of unemployed Americans. "Immigration control seems to be the only sane remedy for unemployment. During the past eight years of republican rule it has helped colored citizens to secure recognition as dependable workers in industry. Our economic progress demands that we guard zealously what we have gained, and vote for the continuance of the republican policies of restricted immigration and protected tariff." "Mr. Hoover stands four-square for the protection of American wage earners and against an invasion of cheap foreign labor." READ THE CLASSIFIED ADS NEIGHBOOD HOOD GROCERY & MEAT MARKET J. R.

SAYS DEMOCRATS HAVE GIVEN NEGROES JANITOR JOBS ONLY WASHINGTON. — Colored people who have been giving wide publicity to the things Al Smith has promised to do for them, if he becomes president of the United States, received a decided shock this week, when the democratic national committee released officially its interpretation of what recognition the Negro will receive at the hands of the democrats under Al Smith as president. Fortunately for the colored people, someone made the charge that Gov. Al Smith's private secretary is a "Negro wench." The charge was made in the state of Alabama and the report was widely circulated because the south and democratic party were incensed over the report that Gov. Smith had a Negro secretary. Immediately an investigation was made and it was learned without difficult that Gov. Smith did not have a colored secretary. The democratic national committee evidently for the purpose of setting Negroes of this country right on what they may expect at the hands of Gov. Smith, if he should ever become president, issued the following statement: "Truth is, Gov. Smith does not have, and never has had, a Negro secretary and in the employment of Negro by the state of New York this has been done only to fill such jobs LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO WEAR "yourself to a frazzle" tinkering with a motor that's not hitting just right.

You have a headache, pains in your legs and your favored corn and bunion are telegraphing their troubles to all parts of your anatomy. Of course it's your feet and you soak them in foot bath and dust them with foot powder. Eventually you are relieved and start out next day to walk yourself into the same old misery. Everybody is born with perfect feet, which grow like other parts of the body and stretch while walking. Trouble comes when we seek to accommodate our feet to certain shoes and stockings rather than the other way round. A survey of sixth grade children in Chicago recently showed one half of the children wore stockings that were too short and one third wore too short shoes. Buy shoes fit for walking and stockings that will be large enough after they are washed and shrunken. Getting your feet out of a tight place is often the difference between efficiency and inefficiency, health and ill-health. NOT A CHANCE (From the Cincinnati Enquirer) Another thing a man can't understand is why his wife is always looking in his direction when he spills ashes on the rug and he gets no chance to take his handkerchief out and dust them around so they won't be noticed. THE HEALTH QUESTION THE HEALTH QUESTION By DR. DENNIS A. BETHEA A JUICY LIFE Woodrow Wilson used to say: "An optimist is a man who can make an opportunity out of every lemon that is handed to him". Happiness does not come from having a lot of good things handed to you on a silver platter. People who have the least are often the happiest. Most folk have the fantastic notion that it is all a matter of getting the things that you want in life. But in reality the most miserable man or woman is often the one who gets every thing he wants. For instance, take a child that is given every thing it calls for, soon becomes spoiled. I am told that when I was lying in my cradle one day, I took a notion that I would like to have the moon; but when my mother refused to hand it down to me, I became furiously angry and threatened to blow up the whole works. A few days ago a prominent dentist told me that he had just returned from the divorce court where he and his wife had officially dissolved partnership. He told how he started out in double harness with not enough money to pay the rent. In fact, after he had paid the preacher for tieing the knot he was penniless. He went on to tell how happy they lived together during those first few lean years, but as prosperity began to fly over their home and perch upon their roof, they gradually became estranged. "I do not pretend to infer," said he, "that all the fault was with my wife, yet we just could not make it. For the past two years we have both lived in a veritable hell." In order to be happy, one must be busy. It is a mistake to think that you will be blissful when you have nothing to do. You are more joyous when you are, not only busy, but EXPERT BATTERY SERVICE Let us test your Battery and Generator. Be prepared for cold weather when it comes. Stewart Typewriter Co. 12 W. 7th Ave. Phone 4005 when you are busy along some line that you love. This may be writing a poem or sweeping a floor. We are the happiest when we make the best use of what we have. Some advanced thinkers have gone so far as to say that hell itself is within us. It sure does seem to be in some people I know. We often see people of limited opportunity holding places of honor in the community, doing worthwhile things, and enjoying life from the froth to the dregs. They seem to be getting something sweet out of life. On the other hand, we will find others who know a lot, some of them have been through all the schools—even the reform school—yet they are miserable. When you see them comin' you quicken your step, just as if it was a policeman or something catching. One of the writers of western stories has this inscription on the tombstone of the hero, who had led a kind of a checkered life: "Life consists not in holding a good hand but in playing a bad hand well." No Fear for Safety of Glass In Trial No Fear for Safety of Glass In Trial NEW YORK—No fears are entertained by counsel for Edward Glass, who is to be tried on a charge of murder in Oklahoma, that there will be any violence before the trial, according to a letter sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, by W. E. McMurray, president of the Oklahoma City branch. "I have been informed by Attorney Prunt who is leading defense counsel in the case," writes Mr. McMurray, "that the sentiment in and around Sapulpa, Okla., and Creek county generally, is such that he has no fears as to the physical safety of Mr. Glass. Preliminary trial has been had and Mr. Glass bound over to the Superior court at Drumright, Okla. A petition for a writ of Habeas Corpus asking for bail, denied. The petition for the writ now filed in the State Criminal Court of Appeals. "No date has as yet been set for the trial but it is expected to be some time during the latter part of September or the first of October." Extradition of Mr. Glass from California, was fought by the California branches of the N. A. A. C. P., because of Oklahoma's lynching record and because of the temper of the community in which he was to be tried. He fled from Oklahoma after continued persecution by the police, culminating in a night raid, without warrant or warning, in the course of which a man was killed and several wounded. Following the flight of Mr. Glass, his places of business were burned to the ground, no one being punished, and a colored man accused of aiding him to escape was shot while in the custody of officers of the law.

Aid In Getting Out of the Southland NEW YORK—Two letters reciting the most terrible conditions have been received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, from Negroes who want help in removing their femilii from southern wterne whence they barely succeeded in escaping with their lives. The names of the men and their pressen location, are withheld, for for the present while the N. A. A. C. P. is making efforts to help them, though the N. A. A. C. P. hopes to be able to publish the entire stories in full at a later date. One of the men, 60 years old, got away with only his life, after two of his sons had been lynched, having been taken in custody by a sheriff on the promise that they would be "protected". They had been charged with no crime. The man's property, residence and farm buildings, have been destroyed by fire. He is now hoping and praying that the remaining members of his family may be gotten away from the scene of the murder of his two sons. The other case is that of a man threatened with lynching because he dared to write a letter to a southern newspaper criticising the lynching which preceded the Democratic National Convention in Houston, Texas. A lynching in the man's own town immediately followed publication of this letter and the mobbists, thinking the criticism was directed against them, planned to wreak vengeance. This man too escaped North and is seeking employment to earn enough to bring his family away from the section where they "know the Negro". Peonage Charge Is Dropped In Tenn.
