TIMELY GREETING Have you broken your New Year's resolutions yet? We broke our New Year's resolution not to make any New Year's resolutions. After much intense thought and hours of study (which resulted, incidentally, in a headache in our hat-rest) we came to a conclusion that, after all, just one little teeny-weeny resolve would not be so bad. So we made it. In fact, we put it in writing and had it notarized so as to make it official and remind us that we mustn't ever, ever break it. And if you don't believe it here it is: RESOLVED: During the year 1929 we will not, no matter how much the desire moves us, give away any $10,000 bill. And we'd like to see the person who could make us change our mind! We know a religious family so lazy that they buy the month's groceries all at one time, pile them on the table, then say Grace.

SAYS AMALGAMATION MUST BE WORLD WIDE TO END PREJUDICE (By KELLY MILLER) I notice that a number of Negro papers, following the lead of the Afro-American, have become interested in my release—"To Overcome or Undergo Race Prejudice—Which?" Amalgamation spontaneously spring to mind as a possible solvent. Solution by absorption could only happen in case of wide amalgamation. If the hand full of Africans, whether of direct or diluted blood now sojourneying in the United States, should be swallowed up and hidden completely from sight, the race problem in America would incidently seem to disappear with the provoking cause. But beyond the Ocean is Africa. The steamship, the airship, the cable and the radio are hastening the age of prophecy when there shall be no more sea. A solid white continent facing a soil black one would but stand out in sharper distinctness without any mitigating intermediary. It is a matter of disquieting observation that most of our Afro-American social thinkers, so-called, lack world mindedness. I regard Marcus Garvey's program as grotesque and bizarre, but not his philosophy. But all of this aside, you cannot solve the race problem, in America—yellow or black—until it is solved for the world. But amalgamation will not, in any time which we can forsee, solve ever the local problem as it prevails in the United States. To start with, we have to deal with the Teutonic race and the Anglo-Saxon variety, which is the most botted and intolerant of all the breeds of men. Brazil, if let alone by Anglo-Saxon interference, might settle its racial problem by amalgamation, but not Anglo-Saxon America. Nor can Brazil settle its problem while we retain ours. The growing intercourse of the two nations demand social as well as political and commercial understanding. Sometimes ago, I issued a release setting forth the reasons why amalgamation is not applicable to the present racial situation. "But look and see," say the hasty observer, "has not amalgamation already lightened the whole race through the transfusion of white blood?" This is undoubtedly true. But is must always be borne in mind that this transfusion took place unconsciously on part of both participants. As soon as society became conscious of what had taken place, condign steps were taken to forbid further progress in that direction. Sex passion, in individual instances, outweighs race prejudice, in the individual, for the moment, but this does not phase its stubbornness as a racial entity. Amalgamation cannot take place on a considerable scale, while race prei Black Woman Cause Of High Society Slaying judice persists and while society remains conscious of it. Twenty-nine out of forty-five states have already passed anti-intermarriage laws. One or two striking instances, such as the case of Frederick Douglass, Jack Johnson, and Kip Rhinlander serve to stir the remaining states to follow the lead of the majority. Such proposals were defeated in several legislatures, not because the states opposed the principle, but merely because it was urged that the infrequency of the instances did not justify such drastic action. Amalgamation outside of wedlock is a decadent, all but a dead, institution. Bastardy in all lands and all times, has been taboo. Bastardy across the race lines is deemed double in its baseness. On part of the white female it constitutes a social stigma worse than death. On part of the Negro female it is becoming equally opprobious. The inevitable dissemination of the knowledge of birth control will speedily eliminate bastardy as an element of fecundity on part of both white and black, and most especially bi-racial bastardy. How then is amalgamation to take place since it is forbidden legally and banned illegally, unless or until prejudice abates its stubbornness? The white blood now injected into the Negro race in days gone by will divide itself into two streams of tendency. Those near the racial divide, especially males, will feel disposed to "pass" to the side where personal advantage and opportunity lie. The residue, especially the females, will breed backward on the (Continued on Page Four) PARIS.—High society here has been rocked to its foundations by the killing of a young husband by his wife because he had taken a fancy to a colored woman, known only a Renee, in the single Negro dance hall here. The shooting occurred Sunday morning after Madame Weiler, daughter of a wealthy Parisian merchant, had returned home with her husband, Robert, son of Gen. Weiler. They had been to the colored dance hall, which is known as the Bal Biomet, where Robert, taking a fancy to Renee, danced with her and invited her to accompany them on visite they were about to make to cabarets. What. If any, part Renee has played in fanning Madame Weiler's jealousy, for all complained that her husband had to many women, is MISS.

FINANCE WIZARD DIES TRYING TO STAGE COMEBACK "Atlanta Millionaire" Founded Many Big Negro Businesses KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Herman Perry is dead. The man whose success and failure started the financial world was found dead here Friday morning from heart disease, and his diligent effort to stage a comeback was stopped in its infancy. The life of Herman Perry reads like fiction. Born March 5, 1873, in Houston, Texas, in a hut, with an education that barely extended through the seventh grade, he rose to an enviable position in the commercial world, at one time being referred to as the "Atlanta millionaire" and the "Financial Wizard," only to have his foundation sweep from under him by the failure of one of his gigantic corporations. Began As Farmer Mr. Perry began life's work as a farmer, at the early age of twelve. Two years later found him employed as an expert sampler of cotton with a Houston firm. Experience gained from the contact with men who were doing thins on a big scale inspired him to enter the commercial field. His first venture in this direction was a solicitor for insurance companies. The success which he had in this capacity lead him to endeavor to establish a Negro insurance company, with Negro capital, Negro management, and Negro policyholders. The story of his first meeting with the proposed directors and stockholders in the effort to found the Standard Life Insurance company, is legendary in Atlanta, Georgia, where he began his operations. Old timers tell yet of the awe-stricken group that listened to Mr. Perry talk of a Negro corporation capitalized at $100,000. Several are alleged to have asked him if he did not mean $10,000, but Perry was determined to do things on a big scale. Started Insurance Co. After much hard work on the part of himself and his associates, Mr. Perry launched the Standard Life Insurance company in June 1913, which under his direction grew to be the largest Negro insurance company in the world, boasting of millions of dollars worth of business. Spurred on by the success he attained in the insurance field, Perry sought to expand his activities and in 1921 formed the Service company, a corporation with a capital of $100,000, the purpose of which was to equip and operate a chain of laundries and dry cleaning plants in various cities and to promote other industries among Negroes. This was followed by the establishment of the Citizens Trust company with a capital stock of $250,000 and a surplus of $250,000. A few years ago, Mr. Perry started on his comeback. Again he turned to the insurance field, in which he had his first success. Selecting Missouri as his field of adventure, the once "Financial Wizard" started once more at the bottom. In the midst of his effort to climb back to the top, he was stricken here Friday morning and passed away. man Cause O Wealthy Parisian Co Well Built Colored Club; Wife Jeal not yet known. After making the rounds of several cabarets with M. Weiler and his wife and a male friend of the Weilers, Renee was dropped at her home about 4 a.m. An hour and a half later Mme Weiler had killed him. Mme. Weiler, in her statement to the police said: "At the dance hall we met a colored woman, tall and well built. My husband invited her to come along with us. "Then we went all four in search of a cabaret. We found one on the Boulevard Montparnasse, where we met many peoples from strange Moore Given Oath For His Deputy Post For the first time in the history of Gary, a Negro has been sworn in as deputy sheriff of Lake cuoyt with full power and the right to work directly out of the county headquarters at Crown Point. This new deputy sheriff is Luther Moore, prominent and well liked contractor and political leader on Gary's south side. Mr. Moore was sworn in Tuesday forenoon at Crown Point when Sheriff Joseph B. Kyle and 16 other deputies were given the oath of office. Accompanying Mr. Moore to the county courthouse were: Ald. A. B. Whitlock, Justice William Hueston, Atty. Fritz Alexander and Coach William Lane. Citizens are lead in their praise of the new sheriff for his appointment of a Negro to one of the 17 deputy posts here. They see in it an indication of Mr. Kyle's fair-mindedness as well as a fitting reward for Luther Moore's political activities. "Every nationality in Gary, save one, is now represented on this staff of deputies," said Sheriff Kyle when interviewed, "and we intend to soon find room for an officer from this nationality. "As for Luther Moore—I know of no other whom I think better fitted for the position of deputy sheriff than he." Black Gary now has a chance to learn, through Mr. Moore, the truth of any of the alleged injustices some Negro prisoners say they have been subject to in the county jail. Because of the lack of a representative in the sheriff's office investigations of such rumors have not been possible in the past. In addition to his deputyship, which will, incidentally, give him every possible liberty and allow him to use his initiative and good judgment to the fullest, Mr. Moore will act as welfare worker. Hammond. East Chicago and Gary will be the main fields in which Deputy Sheriff Moore will work, although he will have full power to arrest any law violator in any part of the county. "I shall try to perform my duties to the best of my ability and not violate the confidence placed in me," said Mr. Moore when questioned. Christmas Party Ends Tragically (LY Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROC, Ark.—A party staged at 516 East Sixteenth street, "to watch Christmas come in" ended tragically here Monday night when when John Henry Taylor, one of the merrq-makers, was shot and fatally wounded. According to witnesses, Taylor and LeRoy Sims became embroiled in an argument just before midnight, a fight followed and Taylor was shot. This broke up the party and when the officers arrived following the shooting, they found C. W. Weekly alone with the wounded man. Weekly was place under arrest, but was released shortly after his arrest. Taylor was rushed to the General hospital, where he died at nine o'clock Tuesday morning. Police are searching for Sims, who is charged with the killing. Of High Socie Couple Meet "Tall and Woman" At Night ous of Husband lands, and drank a lot of champagne. "The colored woman caused a sensation in the place. My husband danced with her almost all the time, while I remained with our guest." Questioned by the police, Renee said: "I did not even know their names. We remained together until 4 a. m. They wished me to remain, but I wanted to get back to my friends, and they took me home. I know nothing about them, except they lived in the neighborhood of the Bole de Boulogne. Aside from that, I asked them nothing, and I saw nothing." M. MOVES DENTAL OFFICES HERE Dr. Leroy W. Bingham, a well known dentist who has been practicing in Michigan City, will open completely equipped dental offices here in Gary at 1550 Broadway on next Monday, it has just been announced. He is well known in both professional and social circles here. For the past year he has been located in Michigan City, where he enjoyed unusual success. He is coming to Gary because the field is larger and opportunities greater with a larger colored population than that found in Michigan City. Charleston, South Carolina, is the home of Mr. Bingham. He received his elementary schooling there and then went to Howard university in Washington, where he received his college and professional training. His clinical experience was obtained at Freedmen's hospital dental clinic, located also in Washington. In October, 1927, Dr. Bingham successfully passed the Ohio state dental board, thus getting a license to practice dentistry in that state. Dr. Bingham is a member of the Indiana State Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical association. He is also a member of Omega Psi Phi college fraternity. LEGION POST 89 INCORPORATED Calumet Post 89 of the American Legion, composed of south side residents here in Gary, is now incorporated under the state of Indiana laws it was announced here by Commander Wallace of the local post. Papers were received here on December 26. One of the reasons for incorporation is to enable the post to acquire land for the building of its hut. Such a center is much needed by the ex-soldiers and it is the immediate plan of the organization to build one as soon as possible. Erection of the hut is merely a part of the extensive program which Calumet Post intends to launch, it is said. Interest in civic affairs will also be taken in a greater measure The Bal Blomet closes at midnight, and Mme. Weiler give the impression that if it had remained open the tragedy might not have happened. "Unhappily," she says, "the place closed at midnight, and we had to go elsewhere." The Negro dance hall is in great favor as a place of resort by fashionable Parisians and white Americans. Clement Vautel, noted columnist, says of the incident: "Negroes are quite the fashion now. Sleepless nights, truly Parisian, are spent with the blacks." This latest murder has caused quite a stir. Mme Weller, after sending two balls into her husband's body, forced her way into the bathroom, whither he had fled, and, putting the revolver to his ear as he lay on the floor, fired again. "I hated to see him suffer," she said, "and so I put him out of agony." What Price Happiness In Money Only? BY KURIOUS KATIE How much money would you require to be independent and happy? Nearly every one spends quite a bit of time telling others hod badly he wants a million dollars and what he would do if he had that amount, yet in the final analysis, few people really want that much to make them happy. At least, that is what surveys throughout the country have brought to light. And, besides, this is what Garyites think of the proposition: Atty E. M. Bacoyn, 2089 Broadway "I would require $101,000. Ten thousand would go to a Spanish home somewhere, $10,000 to municipal or government bonds, $20,000 to an annuity for my wife, $20,000 to income producing property, $10,000 to a commercial account; $5000 to a home for homeless babies, $5000 to award $4,000 insurance, $5000 to my mother; $5000 to a fund for furtherance of education among colored youth who cannot finance themselves thro college; $5000 to a fund of say a million dollars for an aviation school for our boys; $5000 for traveling purposes and the other $1000 for protection against designing stock salesmen and charity solicitors and other nulsances. Mrs. Marguerite Powell, prop. Polly's Beauty Shoppe, 13 E. 19th I would only need $10,000. A large part of that I would put into my business. Then I would re-model my home. With those two acquisitions, I could be both independent and happy. Att'y J. W. Robinson, 1901 Broadway Just $50,000. Thirty thousand I would put cash into a flat building and make the rentals reasonable, modern equipment and everything. Then I would put the remaining $10,000 into U. S. Steel Stock. SHORT RESUME OF YEAR 1928 SHORT RESUME OF YEAR 1928 (By Associated Negro Press) It was in the very nature of things that during such a year as 1928 when the attention of the American people was directed toward the election of a President, that the play upon the surface of the Negro's political life should be regarded as especially significant and important. The election of a Negro congress was the most important event in the life of the Negro during the year, viewed from many angles, although the apparent change of attitude on the part of the Republican party toward the Negro leadership of the party in the South was, and is, fraught with great significance. Louisville, Ky., and its environs, seemed to take the most significant steps in a business way, stories of Negroes making ice, brooms, gloves, winning contracts for work on large public buildings, and so forth, being an earnest of the Negro's developing power as a producer. The same tendency was noted elsewhere, though not to such a great extent. Highlights of the year were the dedication of the new national temple of the Knights of Pythias in Chicago; the huge gifts of the General Education Board to Negro schools; the increased federal grant to Howard university; the opening of the new home of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs; the success of Paul Robeson; the exploit of Silvie Cator in setting the World's broad jump record, and the continued general advance of Negroes in letters and in art. NEW YORK.—A lowe record for the 40-year period over which lynchings statistics have been kept in the United States, has been set in 1928 in which there have been only 9 lynchings to date, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69th Avenue. The lynchings records for the past ten years, which show a sharp drop The German army is experimenting with a device with which carrier pigeons can be transported by dogs. Motor ships under construction in the world's shipyards represent 56.3 per cent of the total being built. Price Three Cents TOTAL FOR 1928 BROUGHT FROM 9 TO 11 LYNCHINGS Hanging and Burning Resorted To By Angry Posses JACKSON, Miss.—Two lynchings, one at Hattiesburg and one at Lombardy, were Mississippi's contributions to barbarism in the closing days of 1928. The body of the Hattiesburg victim was found dangling from a tree Thursday morning five miles south of the city, clad only in underclothes. The body was identified as that of Emanuel McCallum, a mechanic from a local garage. Investigation later proved that a party of six or seven white men had called at the home of McCallum shortly before midnight, demanding admittance claiming they were officers of the law. When the door was opened the men swarmed in, snatched McCallum out of bed, and without giving him time to dress rushed him into a motor car. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of death by strangulation at the hands of parties unknown. The dead man was about forty years old and had a good reputation in this vicinity. According to Sheriff Gray, McCallum's life had been threatened on a former occasion and that he had advised him to leave the city, but that on his refusal had him failed on the basis of an alleged attack on W. D. Easterling, a white tailor, and transferred him to Purvis, for safe keeping, but released him after three or four days. It is said that sometime ago McCallum, during an argument with Easterling, struck him with a monkey wrench, inflicting a slight scalp wound. No arrests have been made in the case. The second lynching took place Monday evening, New Years eve, at Lombardy, in the northern part of the state. Charley Sheppard was the victim's name. He had escaped from the state prison farm after killing J. D. Duvall, an employee there, and abducting his 18 year old daughter whom he is alleged to have attacked and then sent back home. The lynching occurred when a mob of infuriated farmers took Sheperd away from Miss Laura Mae Keeler who had gone to his hiding place, persuaded him to throw his rifle away, and start back to town with her for the purpose of giving himself up. Sheppard is said to have confessed to the killing and the abduction, absolving two others from blame who were accused with him.

This singing and talking picture, replete with intense drama and gripping love, is enhanced doubly by Jolson's magic voice and mannerisms. It is now in its second week at the Roosvelt theater, having been forced out of the McVickers theater after a ten week's run because of previous bookings, which necessitated the insertion of "Four Sons" at the latter theater. "The Singing Fool" brought to screen fans a little star who bids fair to replace Jackie Coogan in the hearts of millions. Little Davey Lee, with his wistful eyes and coining utterings to his screen father, Jolson, has caused a sensation throughout the entire country. His anonymous eyes have looked directly into the hearts of all who have seen this production, with such an intensity as to make many of them return again and again to view the unfolding of the tale. Messrs. Balaban and Katz cannot hold this film for any length of time, because of their booking schedule, but it will undoubtedly remain at the Roosvelt theater for some two weeks. --- NEW YORK CITY. — Two songs, "My Pretty Little Baljain Gal" and "Barbadades" have just been recorded for Columbia records by Lionel Licoris, heroic quartermaster of the ill-fated Vestris and who alone saved more than 20 lives when that ship went down a few weeks ago. Due to Lionel's great success as a drawing card at Keith's Palace, Hippodrome, Broadway and Jefferson Theaters, New York City, he has been presented with contract for a nation-wide tour of the Keith-Albue Orpheum Circuit from coast to coast, which began in Boston, last Monday. This tour will make it possible for the millions of vaudeville fans to see and hear Lionel give his thrilling description of the sinking of the Vestris. In Massachusetts Lionel was the guest of honor at the dedication services of the new club house for the Boston News Boys, last Sunday, met Governor Fuller at the executive mansion Sunday and opened his week's engagement at Keth's Boston, Monday afternoon. This young man has received many offers for appearances here and abroad and has just received a letter from Bishop A. J. Carey, that 200,000 colored citizens of Chicago are anxiously awaiting his arrival. Indications point to the appearance of Lionel in a play of sea life from the pen of Edgar Allen Wolfe, one of America's greatest playwrights, next spring.

'In Abraham's Bosom BY SABAH TAPT SIMS The Provincetown Playhouse production, direct from The Provincetown playhouse, New York, of "In Abraham's Bosom." by Paul Green is a singularly impressive drama written with tremendous sincerity and sweeps on to its breathless finale solely on its own, intrinsic merits as a vivid piece of dramatic creation. In this play, which will soon close at the Ployhouse theatre, Chicago Mr. Green paints an unforgettable picture of the backwoods country of the Cape Fear section of Carolina. The protagonist of the piece is Abraham McCranie, played with immense effectiveness by Thomas Moseley, a Negro, in whose mind is implanted a great, gnawing unrest and an inescapable desire to bring to his people education and knowledge that will mean a happier existence for all of them. From the very first we see this Abraham, in the days when he is working as a laborer in the turpentine forests, spending his scant lunch hours with his books. Even then he found no response or sympathy either in the whites, for whom he worked, or in his own companions. As the years go by, the idea becomes something of a religion for Abraham and he frets and chafes under the intolerance that greets his efforts. His great faith in his people assumes the proportions of a revolutionary bitterness against existing conditions and when he begins to put himself in the position of a Messiah, leading new tribes out of the wilderness, poor Abraham meets open hostility and hatred. The poignancy of the eventual and inevitable tragedy that overwhelms him is heightened by the fact that Abraham's own son is actively concerned in the final physical demonstration that drives the crusader from his speaker's platform and forces him to flee across country for his life.

Lillian Gillam as his wife, Inez Clough as the garrulous old aunt, all give vivid portrayals of the individual roles. The management of the Playhouse announce that the play will shortly be closed in Chicago. It is strongly recommended that everyone, without distinction, see this unforgettable story of the conflict of white and black. "Porgy" By LINDA LEE LANE Few plays of American Negro life reveal the soul of the southern Negro in as sweeping way as "Porgy" which closes its successful run Sunday night at the Blackstone theatre, Chicago. Here is a play in which there are so many individual portrayals of roles that call for depth of feeling that one's interest is held from scene to scene, from the opening act in which there is a murder to the finale wherein Porgy, a helpless cripple, jumps into a goat cart and goes in search of his beloved paramour. The play has its setting in Charleston, South Carolina, in a Negro neighborhood, where black mammies sing their babies to sleep with crooning lullabies while the men congregate in small groups and gamble away their earnings. During the course of a "crap" game, two of the participants engage in a squabble. Angry words are passed. A stabbing ensues, one of the "crap" shooters is killed, and his murderer flees to the swamps. From then on, the story is one which produces moments of suspense and holds one's interest to its dramatic end. Frank Wilson, as Porgy, gives a performance which can hardly be equalled for sincerity or effectiveness. Jack Carter, as Crown, enacts one of the most unforgettable parts in the play; and Evelyn Ellis and Rose McClendon also give portrayals that reveal them as players of unquestioned ability. "Porgy" definitely establishes the American Negro as being capable of great dramatic art; it rises above the level of slapstick musical comedy and signifies an epoch in the Negro Renaissance. Flu Epidemic Hits Louisiana (By Associated Negro Press) NEW ORLEANS, La.—It is estimated Saturday that approximately two thousand cases of flu are under the treatment of physicians and the disease is still spreading. Both the state and city boards of health have made no reports on the inroads of the malady, owing to the Xmas holidays and the influx of northern visitors fearing to frighten away the goose that lays the golden eggs. Physicians are working day and night to stem the spread of the epidemic. In several sections adjacent, in Mississippi and some portions of Louisiana in the smaller towns all schools have been closed. Christmas Birth Wins Prisoner Freedom WASHINGTON, D. C.—Several days before Christmas, Samuel Thomas would have perhaps scouted at the thought that it was lucky to be born on Christmas day, but now, as due to that fact Police Judge Schuldt presented him freedom instead of a jail sentence. Thomas was arrested Monday night and when arraigned before the judge, requested leniency because it was Christmas and his birthday. The judge sent him back to his cell and checked up the story. Finding it correct, he liberated Thomas and wished him a "merry Christmas." Special! Saturday Only Rubber Heels Put On While You Wait 21c BARGAIN BASEMENT BOSTON STORE Shoe Repair Shop 1224 Broadway THE AMERICAN Alleged Teacher Killer Denies Guilt (By Associated Negro Press) CARMI. Ill.-Hoyt McMurray who was arrested in Paris, Illinois, Saturday afternoon charged with the murder of Anna Preher, local white school teacher, denied all knowledge of the slaying and declared that he fled from Carmi in fright after hearing that he had been accused. The school teacher was found almost decapitated Friday night by Mrs. Maude Chalfant, city superintendent of schools, who went to Miss Preher's home to find out why she was absent from a teacher's meeting. The room showed that a struggle had taken place and the slayer had attempted to burn the body. McMurray told officers that he went home Friday night and his father told him that he was being sought by the officers for the crime. He immediately left for Paris, where he was arrested. He explained the presence of a bloody coat found in his home by saying that he and father had killed some hogs several days ago and the blood got on his coat then. He further declared that he was in Monee, Illinois, when the murder was commite. HOWARD U. TO STAGE DEBATE WITH HARVARD Race Prejudice Will Be Subject of Forensic Match WASHINGTON—Howard university will meet students of Harvard in debate at New York City, December 28. The subject to be discussed is, "Resolved, That Race Prejudice Can Be Eliminated." Harvard having the affirmative, with Howard defending the negative side of the question. The speakers for the affirmative are Henry M. Fox and Tobias K. Fairbanks, members of the Harvard Liberal club. The Howard speakers are Robert E. Dandridge and Robert A. Burrell. The latter combination met Northwestern last year in debate at Washington. To 'Hold in N. Y. The debate is to be held in the Civic club, 18 E. 10th street, New York City. While this is the first time Howard university has had the honor to engage in a debate with Harvard, Lincoln university has met Harvard during the past two years, debating last year at Cambridge. The forensic schedule of Howard university for the school year includes a triangular debate composed of Lincoln, Union, and Howard universities; and dual debates between Fisk and Howard, and Aatlanta university and Howard. The New York debate marks the first appearance of a Howard team under its new coach, Mortimer Weaver, member of the faculty of the Department of English. Mr. Weaver is a native of Washington and a graduate of Dunbar high school, having been active in debate at Dunbar and at Williams college. Ramon Navarro In New Sea Photoplay Ramon Novarro, musician, creator of marionette drama, and artist, is also one of the most famous stars of of the screen. He comes to the Chicago theater Saturday, January 5th in his latest production, entitled "The Flying Fleet," a stirring picture of military college life at Annapolis. Born in Durango, Mexico, of an old aristocratic Spanish family, Novarro holds a place unique in the history of the screen. He first became interested in drama when his father gave him a little marionette theater. To this day marionettes are his pastime. Novarro's musical bent and fine voice led to his studying for the opera, and he accordingly was schooled under several famous masters, finally coming to America planning an operatic career. His introduction into vaudeville by Marion Morgan, creator of a dance spectacle, brought him under observation by film producers, and after a test, his career was side-tracked into that of a motion picture one. With the handsome young actor in this latest film, Anita Page is costarred, with Ralph Graves, Carroll Nye and Claire McDowell in the supporting leade. "The Flying Fleet" is a film "shot" at the U. S. Naval Academy, at the flying field immediately adapcent to the campus. It is a fast picture, with students daring their all, in an effort to control the marvelous "mechanical birds" of the air. "The Flying Fleet" is a film which, besides being wholly delightful entertainment, provides an interesting bit of education as to the art of flying. "Bars and Stripes," a comedy-revue, will be the stage offering at the Chicago during that week a revue giving a glimpse into the supposedly dull lives of prison inmates. Talented convicts with their blazing paraphernalia will sing and dance in this holiday spree. And what a bevy of beauties will be found in the women's quarters! A line-up of tall and short maidens will perform, each gifted with a talented voice, hands or feet. For notching timbers for building operations a double bladed saw has been invented to make both cuts at the same time. READ THE AMERICAN --- Unfavorable Court Rulings Arouse People's Ire (By Associated Negro Press) DETOIT—The ire of Negroes of this city has been aroused again to the fighting point over trouble that has been brewing for several years relative to where the Negro shall or shall not live. This controversy which has been carried on ever since the famous "Sweet Trial," has resulted in the damaging of property by white hoodlums every time a colored family moved into a "white neighborhood." The wrath of "fighting Bob Bradly," the moving spirit of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. was kindled by a decision recently handed down by Judge Hart in the case of Mrs. lobelle Johnson that she could own the home which she had recently purchased on the Six Mile road here, but could not live in it. Rev. Bradly called a mass meeting last Sunday and plans of battle were formulated. A committee consisting of Attorneys C. Henri Lewis, Francis M. Dent, W. Hayes McKenney, and Mahoney was appointed to decide on a plan of action. They decided that a transcript of the case in point was necessary before it could be decided whether or not the case should be taken to the Supreme court of the state of Michigan. The fact was made known by lawyer McKinney that on two previous occasions similar decisions had been made against Negroes by the state Supreme court. He further concluded that too many adverse decisions makes a bad record against colored people. After the transcript has been obtained, if it is deemed advisable to carry the case to the Supreme court then a test case will be made of the Johnson case, which will be carried to the Supreme court of the United States in an effort to break down the Michigan law. At the meet meeting subscriptions to the amount of $105 were pledged while $69.85 in cash was received, fifty dollars of which was paid to the clerk of the court to begin the trans 88 Like New!

Re-enacts Killing: Wins Freedom (By Associated Negro Press) SHREEVPORT, LA—Mattie Lee, 13, charged with stabbing to death Louis Scott, 21, was acquitted here Tuesday. The girl claimed self-defense, and with the knife which she killed Crane, in her hand, went through the actual motions. Judge Crane did not believe the girl holding the knife in the manner she said, could through the victim's coat, without cutting her hand, but was of the opinion that if she could, her story of the stabbing was true, and that she was justified in killing him. Consequently the judge ordered the coat taken to a grocery store where it was wrapped around a sack of flour, and the girl, with the knife clutched by the blade, deftly slashed through the coat, uenaturing the sack several inches. The stroke won her freedom. A spring frame holder has been invented to keep piston rings in place and permit a man to use both hands in setting them. Sanitary Beauty Shoppe MRS. J. W.

Telephone Franklin 2468. 1928's Lynching Record Tuskeegee Institute's figures of nine lynchings for the year 1928 are not quite correct. This is, no doubt, due to the fact that the figure was given out before the year ended. Mississippi must have been told of the number listed because she immediately got busy and lynched two more just as 1928 was sliding into the past. We think that Mississippi is too gluttonish. She held already the year's record for three lynchings. But that did not satisfy her. She wanted to stand supreme in the field of barbarism. Lest some of her rival balliwicks in dear old Dixie dig down and produce lynching records greater than the one she held, Mississippi in a last minute spurt decided to set a record that would be untouched. We can imagine her pointing with pride to her five lynchings and saying, "Here, Alabama, Georgia and Texas, is what WE did to the black rascals in our state in 1928. Equal it if you can." It seems further as if Bilbo, chief yokel of that great commonwealth of boobs and yokels, is perfectly satisfied. He has announced that no investigation will be made of either the lynching at Hatticeburg or the atrocity at Lombardy. If such be possible, the killing at Lombardy is the worse of the two. Emanuel McCallum, the Hattiesburg victim, was found dangling from a tree. Little is known of the actual killing. But Charley Shepperd was burned at the stake after being soaked with gasoline. Details are too plentiful. Arthur Brisbane, famed Hearst newspaper columnist, had this to say, in reference to the latter case: "If it be possible for a half developed human creature to deserve such a death, he deserved it." This from a man who does more to shape people's opinions than any other newspaper writer in America! According to our information, Shepperd was not exactly a law abiding citizen. He was a penitentiary inmate. Knowing, as we do, a little of southern "justice," he could have been doing time for an offense he never committed. At any rate, there he was, and he took the first opportunity to escape that presented itself. In making his getaway, he killed a man and took his daughter away. He is alleged to have attacked the girl and then sent her back. A mob formed, and the search was on. We are taking his capture with a grain of salt. We are told that Miss Laura Mae Wheeler, a young white woman, captured Shepperd single-handed and unarmed. He was hiding in a cabin with a loaded rifle when the woman went to him and said the farmers would get him and kill him. She persuaded him to throw away his weapon and give himself up. We are further told that he started out unarmed with her to authorities and that he was met by a posse of lynch-bent Mississippi country gentlemen, taken from the woman, and burned. That's the story of the capture. It is obviously a little asinine. But the new low total of eleven lynchings during the year fills us with hope. It is five less than the number, sixteen, made the previous year. In theory, at least, the year 1940 should find no recorded lynchings at all. There has been a steady yearly decrease since the passage in the house of representatives in 1923 of the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. If the measure can be made legal, our dreams of a lynchless year may materialize. We can hope, however, that the year 1929 will find even less than eleven lynchings marked down to its credit. End Emancipation Day Celebrations Negroes in many parts of the country are busy celebrating one of four or five Emancipation days that are observed every year. This lack of uniformity and agreement on a day to celebrate is merely one of the inanities of such a celebration. Celebrating the day black men were freed is like celebrating the anniversary of the day one got out of jail. Descendants of slaves should want the fact hushed up that their ancestors were once the absolute property of any white man, no matter how low, who was able to keep them. It is certainly not creditable to the race. If we had artisen up and by sheer power and strength tossed from our ebon shoulders the shackles of slavery, we would have just cause to celebrate. But we had little to do directly with our being set free. We were liberated because of Abraham Lincoln's kindness and because our free and forced labor was too great an aid to the confederate south in its battle for state's rights. What is there in that to which we can point the finger of pride and commemorate yearly, with sweet speeched speakers and bar-been feasts? We admit that in the aristocratic south the black man, as a whole, needs a yearly reminder that he is free, judging from the amount of peonage there, the lynchings, groundless jailings, flog-gings, and other peculiarly southern pastimes. We also believe that many Negroes who live in Mississippi and other places will never know that they are "free" unless they accidentally drop around where one of the celebrations is in progress. Even then if one makes too much noise about his discovery and goes around telling people, he often becomes sadly disillusioned if the Nordics in that vicinity hear of it. Emancipation day celebrations have a habit of leaving us too well satisfied. We get drunk on words. Most speakers shout at us: "Look what your race has done in just 60 years of freedom. Your progress is phenomenal. No other race on the face of the globe has made the advancement you have!" We listen and we go home with our bumps of egotism swollen to Himalayan proportions. Then we try to rest and whiff until the next year's celebration the bouquets tossed at us, and leave a perspiring few to continue what advancement the race has made. The sooner the Negro forgets that he was once a slave, the better. The sooner he quits celebrating the day when one white man took him away from another, the better. Let us forget the ugliness of the Negzo's life here in America and gaze upward into a golden future where race and past will be lost and manhood alone rules supreme. (Continued from Page 1) ed on in flendish glee, Shepperd's body was mutilated, bullet-riddled, tied to a bunch of logs, soaked in gasoline, then set fire to. A rain that had been falling slowly prior to the inhuman orgy stopped suddenly just before the lynching occurred. Gov. Bilbo, arriving in Jackson tonight, announced that no investigation of the lynching would be held at his instigation, saying that such an inquiry would "cost too much." 9 Lynched in 1928 (By Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.- According to the record of the Tuskegee Institute Department of Records and Research, there were nine persons lynched in 1928. This is seven less than the number sixteen for 1927, twenty-one less than the number thirty for 1926, eight less than the number seventeen for 1925, and seven less than the number sixteen for 1924. Six of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, one from jail, and five from officers of the law outside of jails. There were twenty-four instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Three of these were in Northern states and twenty-one in Southern states. In twenty-three of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In one other instance, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers.
