A "VISION" AT DAWN I passed by your window When morning was nigh Before you had time To make-up and apply; Your hair was in curlers Your face looked aghast Your teeth were discarded— No wonder I passed! —Selected The Gary American gins Wednesday and will be presided over by Bishop Edgar Blake. There is a possibility that he may be assigned by that body to the pastorship of a church not in Gary. As a fitting tribute to the departing minister, Trinity church plans special testimonial services Sunday evening at which time Dr. Delaney will preach a special sermon and a program will be rendered. To Gary nine years ago came Dr. Delaney. At that time Trinity church occupied a small store front on Broadway and claimed a membership of only a very few. But under the then new pastor's guidance it grew and grew until now it is housed in a debt-free $100,000 edifice and has a membership of more than 500. The present building, located at 16th and Massachusetts, is one of the most beautiful and commodious structures in the city and has functioning in the building 23 community organizations with a continued program of relief, recreation, employment, information, economic and domestic adjustments. Before its erection it served at best the needs of 15 or 20 people weekly but today the institution has contacts with from 1,200 to 1,500 persons each week. In addition to filling the need of a community center, Trinity church under Dr. Delaney has backed up this program with one of inter-racial good will and the pastor does his best to promote better relations between the two races. Dr. Delaney, who attended Ohio State university two years, studied at Michigan university two years, and graduated from Gammon Theological seminary in 1910, has during his nine years here, seen to it that Trinity church accumulated a large amount of property on which all indebtedness has been fully and properly met so that now his charge is the only church in Gary entirely out of debt. His remarkable success in bringing Trinity church and Stewart house to its present status has made black Gary feel that he belongs to the community and not merely to Trinity. And yet should Dr. Delaney be returned, he plans an even bigger expansion than ever before.

GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1929 Judge Hueston Replies to Elk Attack MURDER CANNON KIN IN ALABAMA Try Willie Hudson Monday as Killer THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN HUESTON CHALLENGES ACCUSERS OF WILSON Invites Auditing Of I. B. P. O.E. Books By Accountant; Cries "Politics" A defense of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson of the I. B. P. O. E. and the grand lodge officers, as well as an attack on those who instigated and made public the recent sensational exposure of an alleged $69,000 shortage in grand lodge funds, was made last week by Justice William C. Hueston education commissioner-of that organization, in a lengthy signed article appearing in the Washington Eagle, official Elks newspaper. Branding the attacks as "scurrilous," Justice Hueston said, "The chief item of complaint against the grand exalted ruler is that the grand lodge passed laws increasing the salaries of various grand lodge officers. This was done at the New York and Chicago sessions with 900 accredited delegates in attendance and the measureurs passed unanimously. At the Chicago convention the investigator himself was present and not a single objection was made—to accuse the grand exalted ruler for the acts of the grand lodge when the grand lodge acted legally is weak and unfair. "I am authorized to say that the books of this order are open to all. And the investigator, I am authorized to say that if your undisclosed principals are willing to pay therefor, all of the books of the order will be submitted to a certified accountant to be selected by the grand trustees of this order, the audit to cover all of the years of the administration of J. Finley Wilson. "If you do not accept this challange, then it is known that your article and releases are political and are not conducted for any other purpose than to gain control of the order. Why destroy the morale of the order to defeat certain grand lodge officers you oppose? Why this newspaper publicity? Why release newspaper articles without first taking the matter up with J. Finley Hueston Wilson? Your object is plain. We depend, however, on the good sense and judgment of the members of the order to the sustaining therefor." The imbroglio started two weeks ago when Sheridan A. Bruseaux, Chicago detective assigned by a group of New Yorkers and Chicagoans to investigate Elk affairs, claimed that through mismanagement the grand lodge fund had dwindled in two years from $109,000 to less than $40,000. Ruler Wilson, who draws a salary of (Continued on Page 2) FACES DEATH IN CHAIR AS KILLER OF MEXICAN MAN FACES DEATH IN CHAIR AS KILLER OF MEXICAN MAN Clubbed Foe To Death In A Drunken Brawl At House On Connecticut Death in the electric chair stares William Hudson, 30, in the face when he begins a fight for his life Monday at Crown Point in Lake Criminal court before Judge Martin Smith for the alleged slaying of Florenzo Chacon, 22, a Mexican youth. The murder occurred at 1610 Connecticut St., the home of Hudson, last February after an all night drunken debacle. Fritz W. Alexander, attorney for Hudson, believes that he will be able to keep the defendant from getting the extreme penalty. The case will be prosecuted by Oliver Starr, state's prosecutor. History Of Case 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. Hudson, who has been drinking heavily for two years in succession, drove his wife and two children from their home on the night of the murder. 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. Hudson through a statement alleged to have been made by one of her children at 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 admitted that he slew Chacon with a table leg as the result of an argument they had while lying in bed. He said he was drunk at the time. He was still somewhat under the influence of alcohol when he was returned from Chicago the following day. MRS. HUDSON JAILED Mrs. Carrie Hudson, wife of the confessed killer, was fined $10 and costs and given a 120 day sentence at the Indiana Woman's prison by Juvenile Referee Frank J. Sheehan in juvenile court Saturday on the charge of neglecting her children. As she has been subpoenaed to testify at her husband's murder trial, she was taken after the hearing to Crown Point to await its start on Monday. After that, she will be taken to prison to begin serving the four months sentence. Look—and Laugh!—“Few women can take a joke,” says a writer. Yet look at some husbands!

All Are Urged To Take Part In Lively Program For Negro Improvebent By DR. CHARLES WOOD Beginning Sunday, April 7, with an address on the conservation of Negro health at the First Baptist church, National Negro Health Week will be officially started in Gary. During the week every Negro is urged to clean up and brighten up his home and surroundings. Each Negro minister in the city has been urged to preach a special health sermon and set aside the day for prayer for better health conditions. Each minister has also been requested to include in his sermon discussions of health conditions and to give suggestions which will assure a success of clean-up week. In a circular being distributed throughout Gary, suggestions on how to clean up and when to do it are made. It is also suggested that all rubbish be moved from the home and surroundings of every family, and burned and that everyone dust all furniture, draperies, pictures, clean thoroughly all cooking utensils and if possible remove all furniture to the outside and give each piece an airing for the day. Suggestions have also been made to brush walls of the house, scrub floors and woodwork, paint or whitewash the walks, ceilings, woodwork, and then air every room in the house. It is especially urged that all persons give their attention to the front and back yards as there is danger in dirty surrounding. If these instructions are followed, it is felt by the committee in charge of the observation here of National Negro Health Week that much of the disease prevalent during the summer months will be eliminated and a healthier and better race will be the result. The program for the celebration of Health Week in Gary is as follows: Sunday, sermon day on health; Monday, fire prevention, including a campaign to clean basements, attics; Tuesday, clean house day, on which day everyone is urged to clean house thoroughly; Wednesday, clean yard day; Thursday, paint and whitewash day PRICE THREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE. FIVE CENTS Third Ward Alderman Aided In Campaign By Talk Of Roscoe Simmons Growing sentiment in favor of the re-nomination of William E. "Bill" Burrus is becoming more and more evident as the primary election of May 7 draws nearer at hand. This is the opinion expressed today by many adherents of the Burrus camp after a survey made to determine what candidate appears to be the strongest in the Third ward aldermanic contest. Several Negroes and three or four whites have entered the race seeking the honor of representing the voters of this ward in the city council. The district is made up of a large number of white and foreign-born residents, but the number of Negro residents in the ward make it possible for them to hold the balance of power in the election of an alderman to represent them. Councilman Burrus' present strength which, it is claimed, is growing daily, is attributed to the sentiment aroused in his favor by a rousing mass meeting held in the interest of his candidacy last Monday night, March 25. This meeting is believed to have invoked sentiment for Burrus to such an extent, it is pointed out, that his renomination seems assured. The meeting was addressed by Roscoe Conckling Simmons, famed orator, who praised Burrus and recommended (Continued on Page 2) Friday, fly and insect day; Saturday, vacant lot day. Everyone is urged to attend the program Friday evening at First Baptist church in the interest of baby hygiene. A poster, jingle and tin can contest will be held for school children and prizes will be awarded. The executive committee on Negro Health week is composed of Dr. Chas. R. Wood, president of the Gary Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical association; Prof. H. Theo. Tatum, president Gary Noonday Business club; Mrs. Margie Woodfolk, chairman of health committee, State Federation of Women's clubs; Rev. A. C. Bailey, the president of Gary Ministerial alliance; Mrs. Lena Harris, chairman Social Service committee. HOME EDITION IREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS k Attack NON AMA as Killer FIND KIN BURNED OF GARYITE DIXIE DIDN'T GET BACK Some See Southern Revenge But Others Don't; No Trace Of Cannon Two relatives of the Dixie outwitter, Reuben Cannon, his wife's aunt and one small child, were killed and burned in a fire of unknown origin recently across the river from Bolegee, Alabama, according to information contained in a letter just received in Gary by friends of Cannon. Cannon is the man who was freed by Judge Greenwald a few weeks ago after Judge C. V. Ridgely, a Kentuckian, had the day before decreed that Cannon should be returned to Green county, Alabama, to face trumped up charges of disposing of mortgaged property preferred by a planter there. He was freed because the warrant was improperly made out. Before the Caucasian could go to Indianapolis and return a proper warrant, Cannon had disappeared and his present whereabouts is still unknown. It is believed by some that the burning of Mrs. Bell and child was an act of revenge performed by the perpetrators of the foul scheme to return Cannon to a life term on the peonage farm or worse. Disappointed, this planter returned to Alabama and gathered together a band of heartless fiends to do the next thing; wreak vengeance on those near and dear to their intended victim, knowing that no official there would convict them for the slaving of Negroes. Think Tale Unlikely There are others, however, who do not believe that such a theory is at all correct, and point out its many inconsistencies. They say: The two people killed were blood relatives of Cannon's wife, who informed officials of her husband's location. They lived in a county across the river from Bolegee in Green county, where Cannon was wanted. Cannon has two relatives, a brother and a father, both of whom live in Green county and their injury would be a greater blow to him than the slaying of his relatives by marriage. No Details Although the letter stated that Mrs. Bell and her daughter were killed and then burned to death in their house, it gave no detail. Whether the deed was done by Negroes or whites is not known. However, in order to get complete information concerning the burning, a letter has been sent back asking for complete details.

DELANEY Does it make any difference how colored people vote? Does it make any difference whether they vote or not? Do they appreciate political representation? Should intelligence, efficiency and decency enter into the equation by which they should arrive at conclusions? And, finally; can people who profess to be Christians afford to endorse and work for and even go from door to door and very often lie about men and women for two or three weeks' pay? We claim to have left the south seeking this privilege and the privilege to vote is the opportunity to select officers who will best defend the interest of all people. The recompense for voting must be neither a job nor a privilege to participate in vice nor opportunity for dishonest gain. Choosing a representative for any given task or any particular district whether it be a ward, municipality, or state, places upon the voters a responsibility which should challenge their best judgment in the selection of the most serviceable representative; regardless of creed, color, friendship personal differences or church affiliation. This will and must be the test of the understanding and appreciation which any group has for its right of suffrage It is the true and proper test of American citizenship. Every man or woman should vote in accordance with his best judgment as to the record of efficiency of the candidate after seeking advice from the most reliable sources Be careful of house to house political canvassers because they are pedding what they are given and paid to paddle Seek reliable sources for information regarding candidates. HUESTON CHALLENGES ACCUSERS OF WILSON (Continued from Page 1) $5,000 a year, is alleged to have often taken as much as $800 monthly for "expenses," and to have spent between $18,000 and $20,000 for re-election at the last two grand lodge sessions. Other grand lodge officials are accused of sharing in the graft. According to Mr. Brusseaux, the complete report shows: 1. Money deposited in banks and never collected. 2. Grand lodge officers collected money for unitemized expense accounts. 3. The investigation may ultimately result in a receiver being appointed for the lodge. 4. Large salaries paid to appointed auxiliary officials and failure of these auxiliaries to function. 5. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson made himself dictator to the 225,000 members. Concludes the report, "The investigation does not question the honesty of any individual but is merely made to prevent the loose methods from continuing and to save the funds of the Grand Lodge. "The investigation is made by authority of New York and Chicago members of the Grand Lodge."

The universal transfer system to go into effect today provides that free transfers good in the connecting 8-cent zone in Gary will be given all passengers arriving in Gary from Valparaiso, Hobart, and Crown Point, whether they ride on commutation tickets or pay cash fares. The announcement provides that the former monthly charge of $1.50 for the transfer privilege on certain interurban commutation tickets will be done away with, and means an actual saving of that amount every month for many commuters. With the new system in effect, mill workers living in Gary in suburban communities outside the city of Gary will be able to ride to their work at the Tube Works, Tin Mill, Bridge Works and other industries for the same fare which formerly only took them to the Steel Mill.

More than that, Bancroft wears a white collar and diamonds to boot, marking a contrast to the roles he has been accustomed to of late. As may be construed from the title of the film, Bancroft portrays the role of an investment broker who dabbles in stocks and bonds. So engrossed is he with his work that he becomes entirely oblivious to his wife's social activities—who, before her husband became wealthy, was a circus performer. Baclanova essays the role of the neglected wife. Bancroft has a partner in his business, which part is portrayed by Paul Lukas. Lukas dislikes Bancroft because his partner boasts too much of his ability to make or break the stock market. For revenge he strikes up a firtiation with Bancroft's wife. How Bancroft works vengeance upon the two, in a manner more to be felt by them through their pocketbooks, serves to make one of the most interesting stories ever filmed. Aside from Lukas and Baclanova, Bancroft has excellent help from Nancy Carroll and Arthur Rankin, who have important roles in the production. Rowland V. Lee directed the film.

The wedding at a fashionable Budapest church created a mild sensation here. Shuttlehand describes himself as a farmer in Minnesota, U. S. A. Dispatches from Hungary say that the white girl met the colored lad at the Sorbonne, Paris, where she was taking course in French history and he was completing his education. Parents opposed the marriage and the girl preferring to die rather than live without her lover, attempted suicide. Opposition was immediately withdrawn by the parents.

A firm or corporation requiring the services of a Treasurer must be governed by the qualification of the applicant. He must be a trained executive, one who has had experi- ence in the management of large affairs. He must be a dependable, progressive business man who not only can manage the finances but who from past ex- perience can improve the department. Lloyd B. Snowden Invites your consideration at the Primary May 7th, 1929, presenting the following qualifications and pledge: Lloyd B. Snowden’s Qualifications: Three years as a paymaster in the controller's office. Disbursing $5,000,000.00 per year as follows: $2,000,000.00 all departments of the city. $1,000.000.00 for redemption of special improvement bonds and the payment of interest thereon. $2,000,000.00 in bonds to contractors for special improve- ments. LLOYD B. SNOWDEN’S PLEDGE: Tax Statements made up in advance of the taxpaying period as a step in eliminating much of the delay. Will ask the City Council for funds to send out tax statements to taxpayers in advance, reducing confusion and delays. Will clear all checks coming into the City Treasurer’s office daily, ending the confusion to taxpayers resulting from checks coming through against their account many weeks late. Will co-operate with the taxpayers to eliminate long waits, tedious delays and efficiency in every form. Will give PERSONAL attention to the management of the office, and insure the same increase in service which marked his term as City Controller. “Road To Ruin” To Be At Broadway Oceasionalyy a picture comes along that, through some new twist or some novel method of treatment, causes the jaded movie fans to sit up and take no- tice. Such a picture is “THE ROAD TO RUIN” which opens at the Broad- way theater Wed., Thurs, Fri, April 10, 11, 12, | In addition to being wonderful en- tertainment, and a story of compelling interest, “The Road To Ruin” deals with a subject that is close to the heart of every normal American—the welfare of our girls—and as such, it has been endorsed by Juvenile Authorities and Police all over the country. From the moment the two lovely girls start their trip down the primrose path that teads to the ROAD TO RUIN until the final fadeout, there is not one uninteresting moment and the audiences sit spell- bound, Rarely in the history of the screen has a picture been so beautifully cast and perhaps never has a subject deal- ing with such a delicate topic as sex delinquency been so cleverly handled. The thrill seeker will get his full quota ‘of emotion, the sensation seeker will not he disappointed, yet the thoughtful will leave the theatre feeling that they have seen a masterly presentation of the most serious problem facing the American people today. “The Road to Ruin” is well worth while. There will be special showings for men only on Wednesday and Friday. April 10 and 12, with Thursday reserv- ed for women only. There will also be shown special sex reels for women on- ly and men only. Heffner, A. B. Whitlock, Andrew Means, and others, See SERVICES SUNDAY AT TRINITY M. E.

The thinking Negroes of America should band together and raise a fund. With the money obtained they should hire an expert brain specialist to investigate the Chicago Defender and find out how it arrives at its inane and absurd conclusions. It occasionally has its moments of sanity but it never loses a chance to act silly whenever such silliness can be easily sensed by every mature individual outside of an insane asylum. The latest glaring example of Defender asininity was given last week when it sprained its wrist, broke its fingers and dislocated its shoulder in an attempt to pat its own back for the stand against President Herbert Hoover it took in last fall's elections; and strained its larnyx and ruptured its vocal cords yelling "I told you so." This peculiar and unusual burlesque show, thought by the Defender to be excellent tragedy, was evidenced in its main front page headline story, excerpts of which follow: "The Republican party is no longer the party of THE PEOPLE, but the party of the white people. . . . "Tuesday, in his weekly press conference in Washington, president followed the dictates of the Republican central committee and of the South, and issued his clean-up statement. By this statement he repudiated those members of the Republican party in Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina who had been elected to head the party in those states, and authorized those states to reorganize along lily-white lines. He declared that he would not recognize the present organization as far as federal patronage is concerned, but would give this patronage to white people who had deserted the Democratic party and had come to the Republican colors merely to defeat the man who had stood for justice and fairness to all. . . "Mr. Hoover, following the advices of southern white leaders, invaded the South and made promises to white people. His talk Tuesday emphasized his talks of October and November, and proves that he meant what he said. The Republican party, when it completes its present reorganization, will be as much the party of the southern white man as the Democratic party hitherto has been. Perry Howard, Republican leader in Mississippi, and Mrs. Mary C. Booze, are already on the toboggan. Indictments against the former, engineered by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, a close personal friend of the president, started Mr. Howard on his downward slide. In Georgia Benjamin Jefferson Davis was sidetracked several months ago, following which he resigned to committeeman. Mrs. Georgia S. Williams is still committeewoman of Georgia, but under the new line-up she will be given the cold shoulder of Republicanism. Walter Cohen of New Orleans has been on the "retired" list for some time, and "Gooseneck" Bill McDonald of Texas walked out of the party at the Republican convention at Kansas City after he had been slighted. He had been with the party for forty years. . . . "When The Chicago Defender, editorially and through its news columns, last fall warned voters of this country that they had nothing to hope for from the present Republican party, it was highly criticized by our people from coast to coast. . . Mr. Hoover in his statement does what he says Republican presidents have been trying to do for several years. And he does what the Defender said he would do." We can see no bona fide reason why the Negro newspaper of largest circulation should make such a profound attempt to delude its readers. Mr. Hoover is not a perfect man and we believe at present that he has the precedented presidential attitude concerning the Negro, but we can see nothing but good in his ousting of most of the southern republicans. Whites as well as blacks have felt the official ax on their necks, but why shouldn't they? All of the ousted southern Negro republicans claim to be potent politicians and great racial uplifters, when many of them personally can hardly vote and their uplift is confined solely to their own pursues. They can hardly influence themselves. The states with Negro state republican committeeemen are the states which have taken Constitutional Amendments 13, 14 and 15 to the attic and have buried them under piles of discarded junk. Politics is a business, and as such must follow business principles. "If your salesmen can't bring in orders, fire them." And who ever heard of Benjamin Davis leading the republican party to victory through Georgia? Who ever heard of Perry Howard doing anything for the republicans and his race in Mississippi other than peddle jobs to democrats with the consent of Senator Pat Harrison—and then cry for Negro dollars to defend him? Texas went republican last fall only after "Gooseneck" Bill McDonald bolted from G. O. P. ranks. And it is wise to notice that Robert R. Church of Tennessee, the only southern Negro politician with any real power, has not been shown the other side of the gate. With Ben Davis and the rest of his impotent kind fired from the job, the Negro in the south faces the greatest day of his Dixie existence. Competent and able white captains at the helms of the republican ships in southern waters can make the G. O. P. marine the equal of the democratic fleet. The Negro, heretofore unconsidered, will be the balance of power to a far greater extent than he is in even the most progressive northern states. The Negro, by shifting his support, can then get what he wants. No Negro heads all of the republicans in any northern state, and yet the north is the only place in which Amendments 13, 14 and 15 have been set up in the front parlers along with other laws. Even the Defender should be able to see that. We hope the Defender means well, even when it carries a bomb in its hip pocket and waves a red flag. We hope that it, too, wants the Negro's political future to be preserved, even if it doesn't quite know how to go about doing it. It is against the firing of the Negro "leaders" in the south and wants to go to the democrats as a protest, believing that this will cause the republican heads to reinstate the black men of doubtful value. In other words, the Defender advocates the performance of that act of classic futility known as cutting off the nose to spite the face. If, after the next lynching, The Defender should ask us all to fall on our knives in protest to the government, we would not be surprised. After its editorial hallucinations of the past few months, we'll expect anything from it in a political way—anything but wisdom. PAGE FOUR CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND, Executive Editor F.
