Hoosier Fights Mrs. DePriest At Capitol Is the Jew AFriend? HELLO, EVERYBODY! We've just got to break one of our rules. We promised ourselves once that we wouldn't ever ask anybody to join anything. But we take it back. We're going to form and solicit memberships from the people in a new society we're forming. We're going to call it: Society For The Prevention of Showing George Washington Crossing The Delaware In fact, we kinda believe that's all he ever did. Everywhere we go we see pictures of him standing in the boat in the middle of the stream. We either see that, or we don't look at the calendars. What we want to know is this: Did George ever get to the other side or did he rock the boat and fawd down in the water? We've always wondered why he stood up. We took another look at one of our 1928 calendars and immediately found the reason. Mr. Washington's pants were too tight. THE ONLY WAY TO DISTINGUISH BOYS FROM GIRLS AT A CASUAL MEETING THESE DAYS IS TO TELL A SMUTTY STORY. IF THERE'S A BLUSH, IT'S A BOY. WE'VE HEARD BIGGER—BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE Dear Mustard: The boy friend told me another tale the other day. I don't know whether to believe it or not. He came to my house the other day all hot and bothered. He said his pet fish had just died and it was this way: He caught the fish last summer and kept it alive by putting it in a pail of water. He likes to experiment so he started putting less and less water in the pail every day. And finally, after a few months, he didn't put in any water at all. Then he took the fish out and put it in a little cage and hung it up on the wall. He said he got a kick out of watching the fish play around on the little bars and things. But one day he forgot and left the cage door open and it happened there was a tub of water—it was Saturday night—standing lineath. So the fish accidentally got out the door and fell down into the tub and was drowned. The story sounds kind of fishy to me.

ROYAL BLUES FIVE TO CLASH WITH TUSKEEGEE; UNBEATEN Harry Fisher, 22, of 1700 Washington street, and Henry Robinson, 25, of 1724 Massachusetts street, who were cut and stabbed in gambling brawls here this week, are no longer in critical conditions, it was learned today from St. John hospital officials. Fisher was slashed Tuesday morning by James Dabney, 38, of 1616 Madison street, during a dice game at 1709 Madison street. It was after Fisher had won $2 that Dabney seized the dice and claimed that the winner had cheated him. He demanded his money back, but his request was refused.

At St. John's hospital it was said that only the smallness of the knife prevented a murder. A card game at 112 E. 16th avenue Monday night was the cause of the second cutting. Robinson was attacked, after a slight argument, by a youth known only as "M. Z." He was cut about the fact and body. Dabney, Fisher's assailant, was arrested by Detective Diehl as he was collecting his clothes preparatory to leaving the city. Efforts to find "M. Z." have so far been futile.

Spectator Appearing in the January 12 issue of The Editor & Publisher and The Fourth Estate is a dramatic account by one of a trio of newspapermen who witnessed the burning alive of a Negro by a mob on December 31 near Parchman, Miss. The account follows: "Barbarous — too horrible for words," is the description given by T. E. D. Welty, tri-state editor, and V. M. Culver, reporter, both of the Memphis Press-Scimitar, of the recent lynching of a Negro convict, near Parchman, Miss. prison farm by a mob of 2,500 persons.

CHURCH WAR NEAR FINISH IN COURT Memphis Newspapermen Call Burning "Too Horrible for Words"; Describe Cruelty DECISION OF JUDGE SET FOR MONDAY DECISION OF JUDGE SET FOR MONDAY Builder Still Absent As Factions Hold Court Tilt Mt. Zion Baptist church's hectic factional strife, which has resulted in numerous displays of violence, jailings, and court orders, and which has been aired all this week in Lake superior court at East Chicago before Judge Maurice Crites, will be officially settled the first of next week, it was learned today. Efforts to finish the case this week and get a ruling from Judge Crites were of no avail. It was at first hoped that a decision would be reached by Wednesday afternoon, but early Friday afternoon it was announced that the case would hang over until Monday, at least. No sensational testimony has yet been offered. While the two quarreling church factions were airing their grievances before a judge, police in Gary and other cities have been watching for Lawrence Van Bowdry, 45, missing church contractor who lived at 1729 Virginia street, until his sudden disappearance on or about Dec. 28. A story printed in last week's issue of The Gary American under the head-line, "Think Missing Church Builder Kidnaped Self," and which said that Bowdry had disappeared before, drew praise from one of the warring factions, and protests from the other. However, few people now believe that the missing man has been killed, as it was at first rumored. It is a deal involving Bowdy that the present court fight is over. Last summer a $12,000 contract for remodeling the church, located at 2457 Massachusetts street, was given to Bowdy. Soon after the Rev. A. T. Allen, 2389 Adams street, pastor there, became dissatisfied and attempted to break the contract. Those aligning themselves with the minister were James Williams, 2247 Massachusetts street; James Peterson, 2504 Connecticut street; James Carodine, 2360 Connecticut street; Ed Morris, 2521 Adams street, and others. The opposition was composed (Continued on Page Four) burning started. "We could hear the screams of the Negro a half-mile away," Welty says. "They were like those of a panther and chilled your spine. The burning was the most sickening sight I ever hope to witness." The Negro, who killed Sergt. J. D. Durvall, prison guard, and abducted and held captive Duval's daughter, Ruth, 18, for nearly 28 hours, was chained to a pile of logs and burned slowly, Welty and Culber say. "Now and then someone would step forward and throw a little gasoline on the blaze," Culver relates. Lake county Negroes will be among the biggest losers if a bill now pending before the state legislature is passed. The bill in question seeks to limit the available funds of the township trustees throughout Indiana, fixing the amount of money to be used monthly in each township at $2,000. The present system allows the township trustee to spend as much money for those on whom misfortune has fallen as is deemed necessary. If there is an insufficient sum of money at the trustee's disposal, a tax can be levied to make up the deficit. Under the proposed system, the amount of money to be spent, no matter how urgent the need, can not exceed more than a stipulated few thousand dollars. While townships in counties less populous than Lake county cannot be harmed by the bill, it will seriously impair charity and relief work in the cities of East Chicago, Gary and Hammond. Lake county's huge Negro population has been one of the main beneficiaries of the present unhampered township trustee system. Families that faced starvation and privation because the bread-winners were out of jobs have received aid from such a source and only by that help have they been able to survive the winter. In proportion, more Negroes receive such aid than whites. During the month of December, $21,687.53 was spent for poor relief in Calumet township, and $10,358.83 was spent for poor relief in North township, both townships being located in Lake county and being peopled to a large extent by Negroes If a township trustee, who makes only the expenditures deemed necessary, finds it advisable to spend more than $21,000,—and even then leaves many poor and suffering only temporarily relieved—what would have been the result had the highest amount available been limited to $2,000, less than ten per cent of the amount spent? In the state legislature, Lake county has three senators, five representatives and one joint representative. They are Oliver Holmes, William Hodges and James Nejdl, state senators; John Thiel, Thomas Grant, Oscar Ahlgren, J. Glenn Harris and John W. Scott, representatives, and Henry F. Batterman, joint representative. We should be opposed to the passage of the proposed bill. We should see to it that such legislation is blocked. Power to kill such an obviously unjust bill is vested partly in the men named above. And by us, the voters who elected them to office, writing to them at the state house in Indianapolis and showing them conclusively that we are flatly against trustee fund limitation, the bill can be killed. Let's write TODAY. Woman Dies At Age of 105 OLARENDON, Ark.—Mrs. Henrietta Halvick, who saw this town grow from a trading post to a thriving little city died here Wednesday at the age of 105. Mrs. Halvick was one of the outstanding characters here and for many years operated a ferry with her husband, across White river. She was unusually active for her age and took pleasure in pointing out the land marks when Clarendon was designated as a post office under the name of Cache Post. She was buried here Thursday. Tale Of Recen when Call Burning "Too "; Describe Cruelty "The whole burning took a little more than an hour. The Negro was alive and screaming 40 minutes of that time. "The fire ate its way slowly up the Negro's body. His right leg arched when the flames licked his calf and he begged members of the mob to straighten the leg, saying it hurt him. One fellow came forward with gasoline, threw it on the leg, saying, "This will straighten it, you black ---!"

She was buried here Thursday. spit in the faces of several of the mob, crying, "You white — s!" "At this point a man with a knife came forward and cut off the Negro's ears, proudly displaying them later in the evening at a filling station in Drew, Miss. "The burning took place in a drizzling rain, so that gasoline was sometimes necessary to keep the fire alive. The moment the Negro stopped screaming and died, the mob rushed forward for souvenirs. Links of the chains with which the Negro had been bound, pieces of his charred bones, one of his feet, parts of his fingers were grabbed. Even charred bits of logs were taken. "The next morning only the charred torso and head of Charley Shepherd was left in the midst of a pile of ashes." Id Eamou HUNDREDS GO TO OPENING OF HOSPITAL St. John's Has All Late Equipment; Ideals High Completely remodeled, returned and reacquired, the former Mitchie-ell sanitarium, located at 28 E. 22nd avenue, was opened Sunday as St. John hospital with Dr. Robert M. Hedrick, prominent local physician, at its head. More than 500 people braved the nine below zero weather to visit and inspect the only hospital in Gary owned and operated by people of color. Floral and other gifts lined the hospital's corridors. Not less than 10 Negro doctors visited the institution Sunday, and the rest of the medical profession visited Monday or Tuesday and during the week prior to the formal opening. Twelve thousand dollars has been spent in buying equipment and in furnishing the front part of the building, which is used for living quarters by the physician and his family. No expense has been spared in getting the latest equipment. From operating room to ward, the most scientific furnishings are in evidence. At present 12 beds have been erected and preparations are being made to put up those remaining. At present seven patients are being cared for in the institution. Two graduate nurses and three mails are employed at St. John now, with the probability of staff additions soon. Other doctors in the community are cooperating with Dr. Hedrick by sending their patients there. "St. John hospital will serve the community hospital needs without respect to race or creed," Dr. Hedrick declared. "All the facilities of the hospital will be placed at the disposal of all physicians and there will be no distinction or difference. We intend to eventually make this the greatest, if not the largest, hospital managed by Negroes anywhere in the country." NEW BOOK SOON OFF PRESS A Leverett Webster, well known young Gary writer whose pamphlet supporting the republican party created a state-wide sensation in the November elections, will soon have another publication coming off the press, it was learned today. A message in the form of a souvenir pamphlet is Mr. Webster's latest work. Copies of it will be sent to every state governor, all state legislators, each congressman, and to other prominent and conspicuous statesmen of this nation. It is a plea in behalf of the Negro's cause. A few copies of the pamphlet will be available to the public, says the writer. Mr. Webster lives at 2364 Massachusetts street. It takes 333 silk worms to make the 112 miles of silk thread which are used in making one pair of chiffon silk hose. Congressional Club Considers Plan of Indianan WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Special)—An attempt to bar Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of the first Negro to be elected congressman in 25 years, from membership in the Congressional Woman's club is seen in a proposed amendment to the organization's constitution. Mrs. Albert H. Vestal, wife of a representative from a southern Indiana congressional district who is also a republican "whip," is leading the fight. In times past, the wife of any senator, representative, cabinet member, or supreme court judge has been automatically made a member of the club, unless she wished it otherwise. Mrs. Vestal's proposed amendment would make it necessary for a woman, to become a club member, to first have the written endorsement of one or more club members from her state, and the approval of the executive committee. Although the bill was not formed until after DePriest's election last November, and is being brought up now only because its sponsors are exerting every effort to have it passed at the club's meeting on Feb. 6, a month before DePriest takes his seat. Mrs. Vestal says that it is not aimed at the congressman's wife. "Its aim," she said, "is to keep the membership of the club within reason. We have entirely too many members at present and after March 4, under the present ruling, we may have more. The color question is not involved." February 6 will probably see a stormy session of the organization. There are some who are bitterly opposed to the bill and a bitter fight to prevent its passage is expected to be waged. Not since the formation of the club 20 years ago have its members had to deal with the possibility of a Negro woman belonging to it, as no Negro has been a member of congress in more than two decades. Mrs. DePriest will solve the question herself, it is believed. Her friends say it is possible that she may not accompany her husband to Washington. Furthermore, she has not been greatly active in Chicago society and a sudden plunge into capital social activities would be a great surprise. SAY OIL FOUND AT IDLEWILD; PAY TAXES With persistent rumors of the discovery of oil fifteen miles from Idlewild and the buying up by the oil interests of all available property in the vicinity, a notice is being sent to all property holders advising them to write to Mrs. Alice Galey, Yates township treasurer, Idlewild, to get the amount due on back taxes. They may be paid until March 10. According to information that has leaked out, drilling may start in this vicinity within 60 days. This information should be of particular interest to GaryKites as many of them own property in the popular Michigan settlement and the chance to make money out of their property holdings is here, if reports are correct.

CINE GAINS ti 1028 AMONG NEGROES Ag arrests in Gary of white peo- ple decline, jailings of Negroes rive, accoding to the figures in the 1928 police report made public today by James Daly, head of the local burear of identification, Arrests in Gary of all races totaled 7,381 in 1926; 6,678 im 1927, and 6.662 in 1928. In 1926, Negro arrests totaled 1,685; in 1927 they were 1,843, and in 1928 they swelled to the number of 2,239. It is believed that the picking up of suspects—in which Negroes are the main vietims—caused the great increase in arrests of colored people. In 1928 a total of 1,464 suspects were arrested, whereas in 1927 and 1926 Jast 22 and 19 people were picked up. Manslaughter increased trom four in 1926, 12 in 1927, to 27 in 1928. The murders committed totaled the ame in 1926 and 1927, being 12 both years, Take county had 15 murders in 1928. These figures are for all races.

That num- ‘ber is five less than the 1927 total of 340, in which, incidentally, gir births were more numerous, there ‘being 175 of them to 165 boys. | Births of Negro children amounted to less than seven por cent of the total, although Gary's colored popula- tion is approximately 20 per cent of ‘the 110,000 people here.

That is the impression which "The Terror," Warner Bros.' latest all-talking picture, coming to the McVickers theater Monday, January 21, makes on its hearers. "Hearers" is the correct word, for Vitaphone catches and registers every sound as well as sight in this screen transcription of Edgar Walingly creepy importation from England. No one who likes amusement—and the modern development in lace's famous play. Vitaphone has never been so marvelously vindicated as in this amusement—should fail to see and hear "The Terror." An exceptional cast is included in this comedy-mystery, featuring such stars as May McAvoy, Louise Fazenda, Alec B. Francis, Edward Ewerdert Horton, H Matthew Betz, Holmes Herbert, Otto Hoffman, Joseph Gerard and John Milian. AM.
