Then the big beast broke out of his cage and a few feet then it faw down and go boom. Boom. The boy friend looked around but there wasn't anybody there but he and the elephant. So is up to him to get the animal back in its cage before the keeper came. So he picked it up and carried it back.

CELEBRATION AT EAST CHICAGO A SUCCESS On Tuesday, January 1, under the combined leadership of the Calumet Specific club of the Fourth Ward, the Fifth Ward Republican club and the Sixth Ward Republican club, the colored people of East Chicago staged an emancipation celebration on the grandest scale ever witnessed in Lake county. Delegations came from Chicago, Gary and Hammond to take part in the day's festivities. The program was a display of Negro talent exclusively. The singing by the grand chorus directed by M. W. Guy, was inspiring. Among the notable efforts was the recitation by Miss Marjorie Fields of the "Ode to Ethiopia," a poem written by Paul Lawrence Dunbar; the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Miss Ocie Brown; the piano solo by Miss Otelia Simpson; and the vocal solo by Miss L. Holmes and Miss L. Justine Moore. Dr. Johnson was the master of ceremonies. Dr. Payne presented Col. Simmons to the audience which crowded Turner's Hall. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons made one of the most inspiring speeches of his career. He set the audience on fire with his eloquent portrayal of the progress of the Negro under Negro leadership. After the program, a good will turkey dinner was served to more than five hundred people. The celebration ended with a grand ball which was attended by several hundred young people. The event was so successfully carried on that without a doubt it established itself as an annual holiday event among colored people of the community. Jazzin' The News (The week's news in verse) By F.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The statement that has become prevalent in the South that the white folks were bigger and better crap shooters than Negroes gained momentum here Sunday when five men held up twenty white men engaged in a dice game and relieved them of some $5,000. According to reports here crap shooting is quite a pastime among the whites and especially on Sunday. The GARY AMERICA INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER THINK MISSING CHURCH BUILDER KIDNAPED SELF Less Crime In December Than In Other Months DISAPPEARING ACT CALLED AN OLD HOAX Wife of Contractor For Mt. Zion In Exit Act Also Mt. Zion Baptist church's missing contractor— Where is he? Has he been kidnapped? Has he been killed? "NO!" is the answer investigators give to the last two questions. They further say that they will soon be able to tell where he is unless their plans fail miserably. At any rate, most of the questions that have puzzled Garytes since on or near December 28 concerning the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Lawrence Bowdry, 1729 Virginia street, contractor employed by one of the warring factions of Mt. Zion Baptist church, located at 2457 Massachusetts street, can be answered with some degree of authority. Sergt. Bolden Investigates Practically all facts turned up in the matter have been uncarried by Sergt. John Bolden, ace of the local detective bureau. So far reaching has been his investigation that many odd acts in Bowdry's past life have been brought to the surface. Bowdry, in spite of his claims, is not a bona fide contractor but is rather an intoxic mechanic who has entered the building trade for questionable reasons. During his stay in Gary, he supervised the erection of two buildings, both of which were speedily condemned. Has Disappeared Before Bowdy has disappeared before. Lincoln, Neb., in 1912, is the first instance of scene of such an occurrence. A few years later in Des Moines, Iowa, the same thing happened again. In both cases, Mrs. Bowdy and children were left behind in destitute circumstances. Later, it is said, she got together enough funds to go and join him. Two days after it was learned here in Gary that Bowdy was "missing," the wife began getting together enough money to pay her transportation out of Gary. A number of well known business men, whose names are withheld, gave her money at her request. On Monday night, Mrs. Bowdy appeared before the Ministerial alliance with a plea for $100 so she could post it as a reward for the discovery of her husband's whereabouts. "We'll investigate the case," that body informed her, "and if we think the cause worthy we will come to your aid." One faction of the Mt. Zion group believe that Bowdy has been kidnapped and killed by the enemy fac. Continued on page 2 Fewer major crimes were committed by Negroes during the month of December than in any other similar period during the past year, according to statistics compiled and made public Wednesday by James Dally, head of the Gary identification bureau. That such a record should be made in December is unusual, it is pointed out, because of the holidays. The Christmas season is often ushered in with a host of robberies by those out of work who want money to spend during the holidays. Christmas day itself and the week immediately afterward is often marked by deeds of violence committed by those under the influence of holiday whisky. "Such a seemingly unusual condi- Women Attacked In Cab, Plans Suit Against Bauer Co. Another Murderless Month; Small Amount of Major Crimes Laid To Cleanups Erection Of Fire Station Is Delayed A new fire station for the South Side will probably be erected somewhere in the vicinity of Twenty-fifth avenue and Madison street, but not as soon as it was hoped, as a result of action taken by City council Monday night in referring the matter to the public improvement committee. Action of the council in referring the matter to the committee was made upon the recommendation of Councilman R. W. Cullison, of the eighth ward, newly elected president of the City council, who succeeds Councilman Floyd Stickney as leader of the "city fathers." President Cullison's reason for referring the matter to the public improvement committee according to a statement he made to the council, was in order that the matter may be set forth in an ordinance appropriating the necessary funds for purchasing the property on which it is proposed to erect the new fire fighting unit. It is proposed that the corner at Twenty-fifth and Madison, a part of the old Bryan estate, be the site for the erection of the station. Whitlock Asks Action Stating that the matter had already been taken up by the committee, Councilman A. B. Whillock, of the fifth ward, urged members of the council to take up the matter immediately and vote on the measure. A motion to adopt the resolution calling for the new fire station was made and passed but was not voted upon when President Cullison recommended that it be referred back to the public improvement committee. His recommendation was accepted without debate. Among other matters brought before the council was the advisability of electing a new member of the school board to succeed Henry Hay, who resigned that position to become city comptroller in the Williams' administration. Leslie I. Combs was elected unanimously to take the place of Hay on the school board. Refiring City Comptroller Lloyd B. Snowden, who resigned to enter the race for city treasurer in the coming primaries next May, thanked the council for the cooperation he had been given in handling the city's finances during the last fiscal year in which about three million dollars was spent by the city, including one million for the new City hall.

"Most of the major crimes of holdups, robberies and the like are committed by a few professional crooks. The Gary police department, through the exertion of much energy, has arrested and jailed most of the notorious criminals in this vicinity. The free few are afraid to operate." Although arrests for the big crimes committed totaled only 13, the number of Negroes jailed was 131 out of a total of 452. Sixty-one of the 131 arrests were for drunkenness and 1 They do say that in Harlem, mecca of the Negro intellectual aristocracy, many a jaded artist has found inspiration in the face of Miss Hilda Pearlina, one of Gotham's fairest.

DO GARYITES PREFER WARM WEATHER O RLIKE COLD BEST Now Is The Time When People Wish The Summer Was Here, Says Katie By KURIOUS KATIE Now is the time when nearly every everybody is wishing he or she was on a vacation in California or the South Sea islands or anywhere that it is not snowing. But those that are here seem here to stay so all they can do is skie. Which brings us up to our question: Do you like the cold weather or warm weather better? Miss Hazel Stacker, office girl, 1901 Broadway I am more healthy in cold weather than in warm weather. I feel lots better. In summer I am sleepy and drowsy all the time and have no pep. In winter I have lots of pep and vim. Of course I am never slick except for a slight cold, but I do feel better in winter.

If it is dry it doesn't get too cold. When it is warm, wet and sloppy I don't like it. When the time comes for cold weather I like to have it cold.

Two were accused of adultery, two of public indecency, one of profanity, one of provocation, one of vagrancy, and one of disposing of mortgaged property. Other-charges were burglary, three arrests; concealed weapons, six arrests; fugitives, two arrests; gambling, two arrests, and holding for other officers, four arrests. Other serious offenses which Negroes were not charged with were manslaughter, robbery and hastily. The first of these claimed two from the other races here, and both other charges were against one each. URCH SELF Cab, auer Co. But Police Doubt Tale Of Assault Claiming that she was "framed" by a driver (white) for the Bauer Cab Co. and a colored man, Mrs. Willie Walker, (colored) 30, 1736 Carolina street, who says she was raped in a cab of that company Sunday night, plans to file suit against Bauer officials, it was learned today. According to Mrs. Walker's report to police, the attack occurred at the corner of 11th avenue and Maryland street near six o'clock in the evening, when the cab in which she was riding ran out of gasoline. Car Follows As the taxi stopped, a sedan containing two men came up behind it. They offered to take the cab driver to a gasoline station. Their offer was accepted, and when they returned, one of the men stayed in the car while his partner and the driver got out and went to the cab. "You stand still and don't you move," Mrs. Walker says her attacker warned the taxi chauffeur who was standing by the engine. Then, opening the door of the cab, he entered. "Kiss me," he demanded. Mrs. Walker did. Then came the attack. But police are inclined to doubt the woman's story. "Iimpossible" Tale Sergt. John Bolden, who investigated the case, noted that the attack was made a few feet in front of several lighted houses. The assailant, by the woman's admission, used no weapon except a commanding voice. Nor did the woman or the cab driver struggle with him or make any outcry. It is further said that Mrs. Walker was attacked a year ago under similar conditions in another taxi cab. Efforts by police, the cab driver, who says "I know the man slightly," and Mrs. Ward's husband to apprehend the assailant have so far been futile. White Hit and Run Driver Is Held (By Associated Negro Press) NEW ORLEANS, La.-Edward Fields, 40 years old, living in the Harvey section of Jefferson parish, was instantly killed on the public road Saturday night and Sam Campisi, a white man, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. Fields had got out of his car, when trouble developed, to look in the gas tank, according to parties who were with him when he was struck by a speeding car which kept on its way. Field's car was hurled through a fence on the side of the road but the occupants escaped injury. A clue was obtained to the identity of the speeder and his arrest followed. Razor Loses In Duel With Blackjack Razor Loses In Duel With Blackjack ning (By Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA.—The old trusty razor lost the "Best weapon title" here just as the Old Year was going out, and the blackjack was crowned king. It all happened after F. Williams had wielded his razor on the faces of five men and Captain Wildridge went out to arrest him. When the police captain yanked out a black jack, Williams smiled and attempted to carve up the policeman, but the old blackjack caught him back of the ear, and he left a call for 8 a.m. at the police station. Williams still thinks the razor is the best weapon, unless the blackjack is in the hands of a Philadelphia cop. ALSO HEADS AGAIN NEGRO BALL LEAGUE Conscientious Worker In Interests of Chicago Bank Conscientious Worker In Interests of Chicago Bank (Picture on Page 2) Proving beyond question that Justice William C. Hueston is Gary's most distinguished and highly esteemed citizen, two honors, both of them of national significance, were bestowed upon him last week, according to information received here today. The first honor, one of the highest that can be awarded in the business world, was the magistrate's election as a director of the Binge State bank of Chicago, a Negro banking institution in Chicago, headed by Jessie Binga, reputed financial wizard of the "Windy City." Justice Hueston has been identified with the Binge interests for several years and his election to the directorate of the bank is considered a deserving reward for his labors in the interest of the institution. Reelected Baseball Head The second honor to be given Justice Hueston within the same week was his re-election as president of the National Negro Baseball league, a position he has held for several years. He was re-elected Saturday. As president of the baseball league, Justice Hueston acts as monitor in arranging schedules of the major Negro baseball teams, in setting disputes arising between teams, and managing the business affairs of the league. The position is one similar to that held by Judge Landis in the white baseball leagues. In addition to presiding over his court Mr. Hueston is also commissioner of education for the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, which annually awards scholarships to Howard university through an oratorical content conducted among high school students throughout the nation. FLORAL SHOP IS NOW OPEN With contracts already in for a big amount of business before its official opening date to the general public is announced due to unexpected delay in getting store and office fixtures ready, the Associated Landscape Co., colored Gary's newest business venture, bids fair to assume a leading role in community projects. This latest Negro business venture is located at 1501 Massachusetts street. Lewis W. Wallace, one of the best known landscape experts in the middle west, is president and general manager; A. B. Whitlock, alderman of the fifth ward, is secretary, and Justice W. C. Hueston, already identified with many successful businesses, is treasurer. An up-to-date floral shop in which flowers, plants and shrubs is sold at low cash prices direct to the public is one of the company's features. Another is its landscape department in which landscaping in all its branches and phases is specialized in. Although the company is ready for and is doing business, it has not been formally opened. The date of this opening will be announced later. WHITLOCK IS AGAIN HONORED Because of his ability as a councilman and senior alderman, Councilman A. B. Whitlock was named a member of the committee of committees which has the naming of all standing committees of the common council. Mr. Whitlock is recognised as one of the leaders of the council and has well earned this high position because of his fearless stand for the right. The people in the Fifth ward are proud of him, and we all say to him, as true fearless and square as he has been, just so true, fearless and square he will be.

C.-Dying confessions spoken in the dialect of the "low country" by two men who were electrocuted here Friday literally matched two others from a like death. The confessions were made by George Palmer and John Brown and the men whose lives were saved as they stood on the brink of eternity were Sam Tolbert and John Pinckney, a 16-year-old youth, all of whom had been sentenced to die for the murder of Charley Loy, a Charleston Chinaman. For several weeks the saved men have maintained that they were innocent and were supported in their contention by Palmer and Brown, but apparently with no avail. Friday Governor Richards ordered the prison warden not to electrocute Pinckney and Tolbert if their companions reiterated their statements that they were innocent. Reiterate statements The first to be led to the death chamber was Palmer, who after telling the minister that he was not afraid to die because he had "found God", again declared that Pinckney and Tolbert were innocent. He was warned that no man should go to his death with a lie on his lips, and he again reiterated the statement. Brown followed a few minutes later, walked steadily up to the death chair and in his last words, confirmed Palmer's confession that the other two were innocent. Again the officials made their way to the death cells. As they approached, Pinckney looked at Tolbert and Tolbert looked at Pinckney wondering which one would go first. When they were told that through the confessions of Palmer and Brown, the governor had commuted their sentonces to life imprisonment, they wept for joy. After mooching a cigarette off of the warden, each issued a statement to the press urging boys and men "to go straight." Forced Confession The Chinaman was killed several months ago and Pinckney and Tolbert declared that they confessed to the crime after being beaten by the police. The case was called to the attention of Governor Richards and an investigation followed, but failed to bring out sufficient evidence to warrant the computation of the sentences. Believing that the doomed men would be afraid to tell a lie as they were about to die, he issued the order which saved the life of the other members of the quartette. Chee Lom of San Francisco, son of the slain man, and Lum Wah, an other relative who resides in Charleston, witnessed the execution and expressed dissatisfaction when only two men were electrocuted.

ASK FOR FACTS ON LAKE CO. POLITICIANS Facts pertaining to the prominence of Negroes in the political Life of Lake county are to be published in the Negro Year Book, compiled by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee institute, it was learned today. Chauncey Townsend, editor of The Gary American, has been called upon to furnish statistics for the year book dealing with the number of Negroes holding political offices in the city and county government, and is completing data to send to Monroe N. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, for publication in this year's edition. The information being supplied by Mr. Townsend not only cites the number of Negroes holding political offices in the city of Gary and in the county government, but also gives the number of years during which the offices have been held. The Negro Year Book is used throughout the United States and Europe as a book of facts dealing with the Negro in American life. This is the third time that Mr. Townsend has been asked to contribute to a reference book dealing with statistics on the Negro. He assisted in compiling material for "Who's Who in Colored America" and also for a reference book dealing with prominent Negroes in California, published by the Oakland, Calif., Tribune. tion headed by Rev.

They were named as defendants, along with the South Side Trust and Savings bank, and prohibited legally from tampering with a $4,000 building fund deposited in that bank. Acting on information, Sergt. Bolden arrested the three men and took them to the police station for questioning before their accusers. All proved perfect alibis. Police officials are convinced that they know nothing of Bowdry's present location. Mrs. Bowdy has not seen fit to aid police. She has been antagonistic when questioned by them. But she has insisted that her husband was kidnapped, in spite of her hurried attempt to leave town. It is pointed out that if she were sincere in her beliefs, she would be saddened and making a serious effort to locate him instead of leave the city. Questioned concerning her husband's former disappearances, she became angry and walked away. "The police have no right to question me," it is alleged she complained to friends. She said also she had been married 20 years. A: It helps to learn whether or not the contractor got any of the church funds he was supposed to get for remodeling the edifice have so far been futile. It is believed, however, that he got a small part of the funds he was hoping to get before he left town. There was to have been three payments. The first was to be $700 before the work of remodeling started, and two payments of $500 were to have been made at the end of seven day periods thereafter. Investigators say that Bowdry planned to disappear as soon as the first payment was made, as he is said to have done in other cities. Belief that he got part of the funds is based on the fact that he did disappear. The reason for his not getting the initial payment of $100 is believed to be due to the fact that he could not get a surely bond. Bowdry's present whereabouts is expected to be learned shortly. 10 Like New! CERY Cleaned Them!

Following the slaying Ware made his escape and the woman turned in the alarm. Twenty troopers gathered immediately and the hunt began, with Ware's dog joining in the search. When the first twelve hours of searching failed to produce, the number was augmented and army planes were brought into the search. For forty-eight hours the searchers, with revolvers drawn, and ready to shoot at a minute's notice, as they realized that Ware was armed with the dead trooper's pistol and 36 rounds of ammunition, beat through the bush where they had reason to believe Ware was hiding. In the evening flash-lights were brought into play. As the search entered into the fifteenth hour, word was received thus Ware had been arrested.

Wace of beggars, or as little children turn of their white fathers and asking for be-ble better to ask no alms at all. Yet the action might be excusable—but those times. Until then, let our preachers wait and there is no wolf near. Negro ministers, with only a few exceptions, have too much of the mendicant in their makeup. A white man who seems two jumps ahead of his landlord lives a life of misery if he becomes acquainted with our pastors. His friendship is measured in dollars and cents. Money is constantly being sought for a rally, or for repairs on the church, or for the widows and orphans, or for a few tons of coal to last out the winter, or for another edifice. If it is true that it is more blessed to give than to receive, the Negro ministers in end to see to it that their white acquaintances depart this life blessed a thousandfold. Our present civilization decrees that the church shall be supported mainly through charity. Our present civilization decrees also that we have certain churches for white worshippers and others for black Christians. Caucasian ministers do not beg alms of black men and women, so why should Negro divines continually thrust their itching palms in the faces of white folk? That most of the money in the coffers of the members of the lighter race is not denied. But that is no just excuse for the predatory motives of the Aframerican clergy. Let us build and conduct our churches to suit our means. If we can not support huge institutions and edifices, let us not build them on such scales of grandeur. Further—politicians are the hardest and most frequently hit for donations. When a politician is jarred loose from his money, he has received equal value or has every assurance in the world that the coin he spends will come bounding back to him in other ways. The preacher-politician combine is hard to beat. "I don't know anything about politics," says the pastor from his pulpit at election time, "but Mr. So-and-so is a good man for the office." The pastor is remembering the time Mr. So-and-so gave $10 toward a new church rug. Nor do the masses of Negroes gain anything. The preachers sell the race's respect for the few dollars they beg. We are looked upon as a race of beggars, or as little children tugging at the trousers legs of their white fathers and asking for bread. It would be better to ask no alms at all. Yet there are times when such action might be excusable—but those times are few and far between. Until then, let our preachers wait and not cry, "wolf" when there is no wolf near. Eating Beneath The Table people are born mentally unsound; other hills on the first of the month; still of them through lack of proper care. Columns columns in daily papers are of all the by the Negro population of inferiority jim crow news column. It is evident Some people are born mentally unsound; others acquire it like they get hills on the first of the month; still other have it thrust upon them through lack of proper care. Contributors to jim crow news columns in daily papers are of all three types. A feeling by the Negro population of inferiority is the only excuse for a jim crow news column. It is evident that such an excuse as that is inexcusable. Sixty-odd years of freedom have not removed from many of us an awesome respect for anything white. Sixty-odd years of freedom find many of us still possessing a slave psychology—we would rather half starve on crumbs the white man drops than grow healthy and strong feasting together. The daily paper here, the Gary Post-Tribune, feeds the colored citizens on the floor beneath the table. It drops its crumbs, and like a hungry pack, many Negro citizens scramble and pounce on them, as rare tid-bits. Their segregated column, "News of Gary's Colored Folks," is looked upon as the chief of words. It is not surprising, then, that most white people look upon us as inferiors and woefully lacking in pride. No person with even a beggar's amount of race consciousness would stand to see his name thrust into a jim crow niche in a white newspaper. May the coming generation not follow in the footsteps of their fathers! May our future men and women learn that you cannot starve prejudice to death and feed it too! May we all learn that we can not sow the wind lest we reap the whirlwind—that we can not support segregation in small things without having segregation thrust back upon us in bigger ways! Support Race Relations Sunday The second Race Relations Sunday, sponsored by the Federated Council of Churches, will be observed on February 10 of this year. Sponsors of the Sunday are expecting much more cooperation between black and white races than that evidenced last year. Sincere moves to promote better feeling between the two races are always commendable. White leaders addressing colored audiences and Negro speakers before Caucasian congregations can do much to eradicate at least a part of the prejudice now in existence. Especially is this true when it is remembered that religious leaders everywhere wield tremendous influence. Our biggest regret is that such a Sunday is held only once a year. Its lessons in inter-racial co-operation are too easily and quickly forgotten. Much more lasting good could be accomplished by the holding of such a day at more frequent intervals. Such a Sunday is a new venture in Gary. It is still in the experimental stage. As soon as it is seen that the better element of the black and white races are heartily in accord with such a promise and will lend to it their sincere and enthusiastic support. Highly probable that more energy will be expended by the group in promoting better relations through special Sunday services in other ways. So let's get behind their program and NEW YORK—The state of Mississippi, whose two lynchings in the past week, raise the year's record in the United States from 9 to 11, is called the "plague spot of lynchings in America," in a telegram sent today to Governor Theodore Bilbo by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the telegram, Mississippi's "anarchic indifference to human life and standards of common decency essential to civilization" are hailed as symptoms of the low place of that state in education, per capita wealth, industry and general progress. The telegram to Governor Bilbo, signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reads as follows: "Mississippi again stands pilloried before the civilized world as the plague spot of lynching in America, having raised the total for the United States during 1928 from 9 to 11, with two brutal mob murders in the last week of the year. One of these atrocities was the burning alive of a man at the stake. Five of the 11 lynchings of the year are charged against Mississippi. "It is reported by the press that you called out troops to hunt the Negro but declined to use these troops for the maintenance of due process of law when the mob's victim had been captured. It is further reported that you viewed the charred body of the burned man and then made a public statement saying that no investigation of the outrage would be made at your instigation as you had (quote) neither the time nor the money to investigate two thousand people (end quote). "This is in effect encouragement to Mississippi lynchers by the Governor of the State. That the chief executive of any American State can make such a pronouncement unwhipped of public opinion, goes far to account for the low position occupied by that state in matters of education, law enforcement, wealth, industry and human progress. It is a pronouncement emanating from anarchic indifference to human life and standards of common decency essential to even a minimum of civilization.

REX MUSIC SHOP 2169 BROADWAY Born A Slave; Dies A Wealthy Man (By Associated Negro Press) SENATOBIA, Miss.-Phil Price, 104 years old, died at his home in Cold-water Sunday. Born in Alabama in 1824 Price was 39 years old when freed from slavery. He became one of the largest land owners in Tate county, at the time of his death owning more than a thousand acres of fine farm lands. Price was here when the railroad train ran, when the first steamboat plied the Mississippi river and lived to see airships fly across his farms. He resided in Mississippi for more than ninety years. Price was the largest holder of war savings stamps and Liberty bonds in the county, and his entire cash savings for years was invested in bonds and stamps from a purely patriotic standpoint. He died in the house in which he had lived for seventy-five years. Mississippi, and the lynchers you encourage, are the best possible argument for a federal antilynching law, by which the might of the federal government would crush out the atrocities which shame America before the civilized world. Copies of this telegram are being sent to President Coolidge and to the presiding officers of both Houses of the Congress of the United States."

AMERICAN NAVY MOVES TO STOP ATTACKS BY SAILORS NEW YORK—A one hour conference between James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Walter White, assistane secretary and Rear Admiral Louis R. De Stelguer, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has resulted in sharp action by the Navy to stop improvoked attacks by sailors on Negroes in this city. Admiral De Stelguer has despatched radio messages to the U. S. Battleships Richmond and Arkansas instructing the officers of these ships to conduct immediate investigations into such attacks committed by sailors of their crews and to report to the Commandant's office. Admiral De Steiguer also had Messrs. Johnson and White confer with the executive officer of the Battleship Texas, who was given the names of sailors alleged to have attacked and injured a Negro man and woman in the Times Square Station of the West Side Subway, the night of December 31. The N. A. A. C. P. Secretary is also asking by telegraph that Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, at whose instant yesterday conferences were held, issue a general order to the Navy warning sailors against any recurrence of the recent attacks.

Lewis, who recently returned from a triumphant engagement in Paris, London and Berlin, reports that American jazz and musicians are so popular in European capitals that an American can even appease a Paris taxicab driver by merely whisling the "St. Louis Blues." Lewis, from his vast experience, contends that jazz is a great denominator of music and that it is so far the only universal language, in that it makes all people, regardless of nationality, act the same. He also continues to state that it is the most efficient medium with which to bring the real spirit of America to every part of the world, having done more than any other of our exports. With this second European tour behind him, Lewis, after concluding his present engagements on the Publix circuits, will go to Hollywood to make a talking feature film. His contracts for this and other movies will preclude any further tours at least for another year. Lewis and his Clowns will be in Chicago for one week only.

The picture being made was Octavius Roy Cohen's "Music Hath Harm," and Tracy who has played in former films was given the easy but very important part of Florian Sloppy, famous character of all Cohen's stories. So much carelessness was evidenced by him, that the footage of film made in certain scenes was absolutely worthless. It is greatly feared that at this critical stage of the Negroes' advent in the movies a few such instances will spoil the chances for thousands of other actors. a single week at the palatial Chicago theater.
