SNYDER, Editor Gary Post Tribune (Copyright, 1929, by The Gary American, Inc.) I do not see why a question of this sort is propounded but presume it is due to the feeling that racial antagonisms are certain to exist in some degree. I question if there is any special group antagonism on the part of the Jew towards the Negro and neither should I expect to find any more friendship than is evidenced by any other white people of similar intelligence. Which is to say that group feeling is largely a matter of intelligence and training. Intelligence looks down on ignorance because it talks a different language and ignorance suspects intelligence because it deals in the (to it) unknown. But the intelligent in each group are often on a better understanding with the ignorant in their own group than with the intelligent of other groups. Because of inheritance and training their minds do not meet. As our knowledge of each other grows group feeling subsides, slowly it is true, but perceptibly. Why pick out the Jew! I know of no reason for it. (Known the throughout Lake county for his feelings, his frusteness and courage, Alfred G.

The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER + + + SUPPOSITION ♠ ♠ ♠ PETITION TO HOLMES SENT BY GARYITES Asked To Assist In Fight On Trustee Fund Limiting Volging their protest to the proposed bill now before the state assembly to limit the funds of township trustees to a stipulated amount per annum, nearly a hundred residents of the city Friday petitioned Sen. Oliver C. Holmes and other Lake county representatives to oppose the measure when it comes up for a vote. The petition was drafted by Chauncey Townsend, executive editor of The Gary American, and was circulated Friday at a meeting of the Gary Noonday Business club. Members of the club signed it. The petition follows: Senator C. Oliver Holmes, State Senate Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir: We are writing you to solicit your cooperation in opposing the bill now before the State Assembly relative to limiting the funds for the township trustee to help the poor. In no sense can funds allowed township trustees to alleviate suffering among the poor, be wisely limited in an industrial community like Calumet region. This has been definitely proven this year when so many are suffering as a result of the present economic depression, with the demand for financial assistance increasing daily. Any limitation of funds for charity is economically unsound and would be an injustice to hundreds who would be cut off from receiving assistance when in distress. Such a bill, if passed, would make it virtually impossible for the community to take care of the poor in times like the present one. It has been the experience of those who work among the poor and needy people of this community every day, and who, therefore, have been in a position to know just what the condition are, that even with the allowance allowed township trustees at the present time, there is still much suffering among the poor people of our community. We are therefore calling upon you to exert your influence to see to it that this bill does not pass through the State Assembly. As our representative in the Senate, we will expect you to be on the side of right and justice in opposing this measure when it comes up for a vote. Woman Killed Accidentally (By Associated Neuro Press) SUMPTER, S. C.-Louise Adamson was fatally shot at her home on the State Farm, Sunday afternoon, when she attempted to remove an automatic pistol from the pocket of Buck Chapman. According to the story of eye-witnesses, Chapman was lying on the bed asleep, Mrs. Adamson noticed the butt of the pistol protruding from his pocket and attempted to extract it. Just as she got it out of the pocket the pistol discharged, the bullet striking her in the neck and severing the jugular vein. The wounded woman died within a few minutes from loss of blood.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 5 One of the reasons why Hampton is such a popular town this year is Mise Mary J. Morton, pictured above, who is a teacher in the high school of the Virginia city this year. She graduated from Howard university last June with a B.S. degree GIRL BARES PREACHER'S LOVE OF WHISKEY, PETTING PARTIES BALTIMORE. — The liquor drinking ability of a preacher and his participation in all day petting parties is expected to be offered in testimony here when the case of a 17 year old girl who charges a minister with being the father of her unborn baby is brought to trial. Ruth Farrel, a school girl, is the accuser and the Rev. Aaron Vanlandingham is named as the cuipit. She says she first met the preacher, a well known evangelist, when she attended revival services he was conducting here. Immediately began a series of trysts. First they were held in Franklin square, two blocks from her home, then they were changed to another address, and eventually one day the minister feigned sickness in order to induce his landlady to let the schoolgirl go to his room. He kept her there so long his landlady made him pack up his trunk and move. Miss Farrel says also that Rev. Vanlandingham staged many all day petting parties with her after he had coaxed her to stay away from school, and that he often drank nearly two plints of liquor when on one of these parties. To these accusations Rev. Vanlandingham presents a heated denial. He declares the whole affair to be a frameup and claims that he is not responsible for the girl's condition. At the proper time he plans to introduce a youth by the name of Robert Lewis and prove that this boy had illicit relations with the girl and is the father of the unborn child. But the girl is equally as insistent that the evangelist is the guilty person. She claims that in the security of his retreats he counselled her that her ideas of modesty and chastity were the silly notions of a country girl and that if she was going to be an up-to-date city girl she would have to "do away with that stuff." The evangelist's involvement in the case found public reaction last week when the congregation of the Maryland Baptist church closed their doors against his revival he had begun after his release from the City jail under $250 bond.

Negro Slays Mexican In Bed With Him; Drunk At Time Entire blame for the slaying on last Thursday morning of Florentio Chacon, 22, of 1235 Madison street, a Mexican, was taken by William Hudson, 30, of 1610 Connecticut street, when he was returned to Gary Priday from Chicago. Hudson's confession, signed by him, completely clears his wife, who was named as the murderer of Chacon in a statement alleged to have been made by one of the Hudson's two children. The killing of Chacon had at first the appearance of a mystery. He was found dead in bed at the Hudson home. Search was started for Hudson, his wife was arrested, and several suspects were picked up on the theory that the Mexican's death was the result of a drunken brawl in which many might have participated. Delayed Arrest According to Mrs. Hudson, her husband could have been arrested before he had a chance to leave the city and fee to Chicago had local police followed her instructions. Hudson, who has been drinking heavily for two years in succession, drove his wife and two children from their home on Wednesday night. They sought refuge at Stewart house. The following morning, word was sent her that her husband had just committed a murder. She returned to their home to find the body and learn that Hudson contemplated flight to Chicago. She immediately notified police and informed them that he might be taken in custody before he left the city. But for some reason, no immediate action was taken to place Hudson under arrest. As a result, he left, and was not located until the following day when Detective Sergt. John Bolden went to Chicago after him.

Wife Charged Prior to the arrest of Hudson, Mrs. Hudson was being held as the killer. Through a statement alleged to have been made by one of her children it was charged that she, acting on information received, returned home and found Hudson and Chacon in bed together. Mad with jealousy, she clubbed the Mexican to death, believing him to be a woman as his face was partly covered and as she had been hearing tales of her husband's infidelity. Hudson admits that he slew Chacon with a table leg as the result of an argument they had while lying in bed. He says he was drunk at the time. He was still somewhat under the influence of alcohol when he was returned from Chicago the following day.

Jones Mentions Opportunities of Negro In North A need for places here in Gary where the residents can beneficially spend their leisure moments was one of the high lights of the speech made by Bishop R. E. Jones of the M. E. church Friday night at Stewart house. A large crowd was present to hear the speaker, who talked conversationally on a variety of subjects. He had, at noon, addressed the regular meeting of the Gary Noonday Business club, and had told that body that the Negro must adapt himself to the environment in which he lives in order to be successful. Mentions South's Project Bishop Jones spoke of educational and recreational facilities in and around New Orleans, where he is now located. He mentioned a project with which he is now identified located at Waveland, Miss, and comprising 600 acres. It serves as amusement grounds for the vicinity, in which there are 5,000,000 Negroes in 400 miles. The emotionalism of the Aframerican was beaten by the distinguished churchman. "Negroes must be more practical," he said. Advantages that Garyites have oveen their southern brothers in the use of the ballot were mentioned by the speaker. He said that they should express themselves through the ballot for righteousness. He mentioned also that they were fitting themselves into the industries and that, if given a chance, they can make themselves a real asset to the north. "No one is more loyal to the flag of his country than the American Negro," he concluded. "In his inner life he is a thorough American, and with decent treatment it is possible to win from him larger efficiency." To further the aims of Negro History week, a "Know Thyself Campaign" is being fostered by the Work Study-Play Girls' club of Freebel, East Pulaski, and Roosevelt Annex schools. This campaign continues throughout the month of February and closes on March 1. A program is mapped out for each girl member during the month. Each girl pledges to read about famous Negro characters, attend public history conferences, write compositions on famous Negroes, and retain all material that can be found for the club's Negro Achievement scrap book. To arouse interest, the organization is offering a prize to the girl who will hand in the best collection of poems built upon any five of a list of 38 characters which includes Crispus Attucks, Bert Williams, and Mary McLeod Bethune. Montions South's Project Advisees Ballot Use Schoolgirls Study Famous Negroes CHRISTIANITY MUST BE PUT IN USE HERE So Says African At Annual Meet of Two Races Doaching that "M religion is to be carried to victory the Christian nations must practice what they preach in order that nations whom they seek to teach may retrieve their lost faith in Christianity," the Rev. A. B. Dippeol, a native of Africa, delivered a stirring message to the audience at City church Sunday evening, when two colored and three white churches of the city gathered for the third annual interracial service which is observed on the Sunday nearest Lincoln's birthday. In elaborating upon his subject, Rev. Dippeol stressed the importance of religion, pointing out that, beginning with the school life of the child and through to the business life of the man, no venture is undertaken without having the fundamental idea of success behind it, and that no less should these principles be applied to religion that it may be demonstrated to the world that religion is going forward. The speaker brought many illustrations to bear on his subject—one being that the African man never gives medicine without tasting it himself and that the people who claim Christianity should do the same thing. Another was that all nations should take for example the various vegetables that grow in one garden, each different but all growing peacefully together and tuning their respective destinies. Proclaiming his optimism and faith in the future and prophesying that the power of Christianity would surely lessen the differences between races and gradually bring to fruition the much-needed feeling of brotherhood, Rev. Dipoleu brought his sermon to a close. Opened At 7:45 The service opened at 7:45 with a piano prelude, followed by congregational singing and the singing of America by congregation and choir dimly visible through a screen, which was lifted at the closing of the song. Rev. Charles Hawkins of First Baptist church gave the Scripture reading. Prayer by Rev. Schuster of Central Christian church was concluded with the singing of the response "Oh Gladsome Likht" by the combined choirs. Two groups of spirituals were sung by the colored choirs. Lincoln's Gettysburg address was delivered by Amos Miller and a reading "Ain't No Ghost" by Albert Smiley was enthusiastically received. At the conclusion of the address, the choirs sang the Halleujah Chorus from the Messiah. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Delaney. "The Barker" To Be At Roosevelt How a man himself tasting the dregs of life and concerned in a profession that partakes of many of the lower elements of existence may place all his hope and confidence in his son, is exemplified in First National's "The Barker," which comes to the Roosevelt theater next Friday, with Milton Sills and Dorothy Mackaill co-starred. Sills plays the title role, a ballyhoo spieler with a cheap carnival show, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., is his son. He has planned a college career for his son, with the idea of his becoming a lawyer, but the boy joins the show, marries Lou, a girl in the company who set out to vamp him. Miss Mackaill plays this role. The result is confusion and despair, but finally it develops that the young couple are sincerely in love and there is still hope for the future. Betty Compson, Sylvia Ashton and many others are in the strong supporting cast.

Dear Editor: I've just arrived in your fair city of Gary, and I'm very anxious to become acquainted with everyone, so am taking this means of introducing myself. I've spent the last few years just traveling around, but you know, I believe I'm going to like Gary so well that I'll never roam no more. I've met so many lovely and interesting people. I was out for a walk yesterday, just ambling along getting acquainted with the city and different business places so I could find my way about, and what do you think I discovered right here in our own neighborhood! The smartest little up-to-date shop for ladies you can imagine. The name of this shop is The Venus Shoppe, at 1732 Broadway. I thought I'd go in and look around. The minute I went in I forgot that I gas a new comer in the city as there was such a friendly, cheerful atmosphere about the place. I explained to them that I just wanted to look around (I had forgotten to bring my pocket-book, worse luck!) Well, you know the frosty stare most clerks give you when you just want to look around. But they were so different in The Venus Shoppe. They were so pleasant and interested in showing me different merchandise. They showed me just every kind of hose that any woman could desire and for any and all occasions, and such a wide variety of price ranges from 49 cents to $2.50 and the daintiest silk underwear that would just delight the most fastidious woman, not to mention the nice warm undies for these cold wintry days. The most wonderful surprise of all is how reasonable everything is priced. I also found the smartest of accessories to complete every costume: scarfs, gloves, flowers, handbags, etc. When I left there I had my mind made up that I was going back to The Venus Shoppe the next day and lay in a supply of things that I need. I'll write and let you know what I buy on my first shop- Week-En At Apollo 1600 BRO Buying our stock in large an offer cut rate prices on drugs Here are some of the spec WATERBURY Alarm Clocks 98c “666” Regular 25c value 19c THE AMERICAN P.

Third Article By ALFRED G. PERRY EDITOR GLEN PARK NEWS Leading N. Y. Daily in Tribute To Career of Howard Prof. Leading N. Y. Daily in Tribute To Career of Howard Prof. NEW YORK.—Last Sunday's New York Times, gives an extended and laudatory account of the career of Dr. Ernest Everett Just, Negro scientist and one of the leading biologists of the world, now working in a biological laboratory in Neples, Italy. The Times account states that: "Dr. Ernest Everett Just is now near the top of his profession but about twenty years ago his assets consisted of $5 and a fierce determination to learn and pass on his learning to others of his race. The account tells how by 1915 Dr. Just's achievement received the recognition of an award of the Spingarn medal, given annually to "the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year or years in any honorable field of human endeavor." The Times account further three mile walk in the snow (altho they nett could not see them walk home of them) states: "The boy's inheritance was unusually good. His father was a wharf builder, who died when Ernest Just was only 4 years old. His mother was a woman of high character with a fairly good education. When her son was born forty-five years ago in Charleston, S. C., she was engaged in teaching school and working in the phosphate fields. Mrs. Just, it is said, established the first industrial school in the State and was its first principal." The boy attended his mother's school, then the State College at Orangeburg and later worked his way North on a Clyde liner. He saved enough money to attend the Kimball academy in Meriden, N. H., completing the four-year course in three years and finding time to be editor of the schol paper and president of the debating society. He entered Dartmouth college and was graduated in 1907 with special honors in zoology and history and the only magna cum laude in his class." Since leaving Dartmouth, Dr. Just has taught at Howard University. He with some of the best known scientists in the country is author of a book on cytology, published 1924. He was chosen by leading biologists of Germany as the best fitted among the world's scholars to write a treatise on fertilization. He is one of the authors of a large work on colloid chemistry. Dr. Just received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with high honor in zoology and physiology, in 1910 from the University of Chicago. Every summer for 20 years he has done research work at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. Mass He is an editor of the Internation PAGE THREE al journal; Protoplasma, and of the official organ of the Marine Biological Laboratory. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; the American Society of Zoologists, the American Naturalists, and a corresponding member of La Societe des Sciences Naturelles et Mathematiques of France. To Receive $3,000 For Finding $18,000 (By Associated Negro Press) FREDERICKBURG, W. Va.—An eight-year-old tot, whose name has not been disclosed, will receive a reward of $3,000 for the recovery of jewels value at $18,000, which were lost by Mrs. J. M. Amsell, of Bridgeport, Conn. The little fellow found the jewels in a purse hanging on a bush and not knowing the value distributed them among a group of children with whom he was playing. Police, observing the children adorned with diamonds, investigated and discovered that the jewels were those lost by Mrs. Amsell.

Blaming It On The Negro Some northern cities like their southern sisters have become quite proficient in the art of pinning foul and heinous crimes on Negroes. Aframericans are picked up in droves, taken to police torture chambers, and are beaten into admissions of guilt. A conviction ..... leaden years of silence ..... a black mark against the race ..... a human's life ripped to shreds. There are two cases before us that support our opinion. We refer to the case of Jake Bird in Omaha, convicted as the ax man terrorist, and to the case of Leonard Mitchell in Chicago, picked up as a suspect in the clubbing to death in Blue Island of Fanny Buchelz, white stenographer. According to the facts as they have been presented to us, Bird looked at different from the terrorist described to police as does a Chinese mandarin from a Zulu chieftan. Yet he was arrested, given a rather shady and seemingly forced identification, tried, and sentenced to prison. He now faces trials on charges of rape and of committing two murders laid at the of the infamous ax man. To make matters worse against the city of Omaha, the man sought by police was a light complexioned Negro, or a dark Italian or Greek. The man arrested, tried, and convicted, was almost black. It was at the agitation of a railroad conductor that Mitchell was taken into custody. He was beaten by brutish policemen, forced to act out the crime, threatened, and had everything possible done to him for the purpose of making him confess that he was the guilty person. Yet in the face of torture that would have sapped the courage of a weaker man, he protested his innocence and was finally freed. More energy was expended in an attempt to lay the crime at the feet of this one Negro than the department used on all other suspects combined. We remember that when the drive on "The Man With A Gun" first started in Chicago several weeks ago, at least three times as many people were imprisoned as suspects in two of the districts almost exclusively colored as were taken into custody in any white section. It seems as if police officials labor under the ancient absurdity that Negroes are born criminals. This causes a peculiar result. They arrest many innocent men of color as suspects under the theory mentioned above; then when they find the prisons filled with Negroes, look upon such a condition as proof of their belief. But as many other fallacious beliefs and diabolical practices have been wiped away in time, so, we hope, will the habit of pinning crimes on Negroes, and of accusing the race of being great criminals, become as ancient as a belief in monster sea dragons which crushed big ships and ate the crews. Such antiquated ideas are obviously relics of the Middle Ages. In Gary As Elsewhere, Church And Politics Will Not Mix It is singularly significant that, while the race advances financially and intellectually, it is retrogressing in the type of men who fill its pulpits. In Gary, a little more than a decade ago, there was one mighty church that made a dwarf of its nearest rival. Young and old attended its services by the hundreds. Collections were enormous. There was very little indebtedness, and what there was of it was being gradually washed away. Its supremacy was unchallenged. Today that church is still in Gary. But what a change! No longer does it lead its field. Although the city has grown enormously, the church has lost in membership. There are other temples here with greater congregations and better looking edifices. And, to make matters worse, that same institution now has an indebtedness of some $30,000 or more with no prospects of lifting its mortgages. Its pastor is its only relic of a time of prosperity. And its pastor is also the cause of the church's present backwardness. The story of the church's rise and fall is the story of a minister's thirst for political success and hunger for women. When his moon was at its zenith, he began to sell his sermons and services for political gold. When he should have been administering the sick and needy, he was studying ways and means to get somebody in office. When he should have been studying the Bible, he was busy counting the gold he got for selling his position of respect and honor to politicians. As a result, his flock soon lost their respect for his leadership and rightly refused to pay $50 a week for a $5 sermon. His biggest backers and strongest supporters now are some of the sisters. He likes his women. Marriage does not stop him. Although he has been married more than once, he has at each occasion openly flaunted his desire for feminine variety. The wives of other men seem to hold a peculiar fascination for him. Because he is a minister, he gets by with many things for which other men now lie rotting in six foot graves. Yet today this preacher rears his head as high as any of the local pastors. Sundays he speaks from the pulpit (between elections) on such subjects as "love," honor," "brotherly love," "chastity." Week days he chases his women and plots for political success. He is a modern Nero fiddling while Rome, his church, burns slowly up through debt and his own indifference to his congregation's welfare. This Gary minister is merely one of a host of despoilers now overrunning the Negro pulpit. He and his fellow Elmer Gantrys want only gold for themselves and let the masses go hang. "Fool the people and get the coin," is their motto. Perhaps the quickest remedy is an expose of conditions and the possibility that other preachers, sobered by the light of revelations and fearful of their own safety, will take to the prayer meet- ing instead of to the political conference. The people are tired of hypocrites in the pulpits and, with the exception of a few passionate sisters, will desert the church and seek spiritual guidance elsewhere, for today many houses of worship are little more than publicity bureaus for office seekers and dating grounds for contemplated assignations.
