VOLUME II, NUMBER VOLUME II, NUMBER TWENTY-THREE The Lady Called Jo Baker Josephine Baker, formerly a Harlem girl and later known as the queen of the Paris night clubs, is still quite a riot in Europe. She has appeared upon the stages of most of the important cities in Western Europe and has caused more than one sigh to escape from Caucasian breasts. She appeared at Monte Carlo a short time ago and won a small fortune in the famous gambling place. Miss Baker will be remembered for her sensational fake marriage to an "Italian Count" almost two years ago, which later developed to be a wedding for publicity purposes. THE WISEST CRACKS IN AMERICA MUST N'Yawk Day Aftah Day By O. O. McFLATIRE NYawk. April 11. — Thots while strolling down Breadway—not so many hosses as there used to was—there are more Fords here than autos—many a man attends his own funeral—dresses can't get much shorter without a deficit—when it rains, sometimes it pours. John D. Stonefeller and J. P. Morguean have been trying their best to get an interview with me the last few days. I came home the other night and surprised one of them in my closet where he had secreted himself during my absence. But I patted him on the back and let him go after he promised not to bother me again. Stonefeller is really a nice old boy after all. While riding on the subway yesterday—I'm a Scotch boy—I heard nearly everyone seated within hearing distance speak quite highly of the works of O. O. McFlatire. However, I didn't tell them who I was until a full thirty seconds afterward. And you should have seen the hugs and kisses the gals gave me. I ain't so bad, after all. The latest joke on Broadway goes something like this: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Quite naturally, the one questioned is stumped for an answer and says, "I don't know Why?" And to this the wise-cracker answers, "To get on the other side." When I first heard it last night I thought it was one of the funniest things imaginable. Everywhere one goes he sees interested crowds listening attentively to this late bit of wit, It will be many days before Broadway tires of it. Hoobert Herver and Cholly Curtis came from Washington to the Hambassador hotel where they were to give a dinner in my honor this morning. However, I didn't feel like getting up so I had to disappoint both of them. They were both crestfallen when I saw them later in the day but brightened up immediately when I told them that the next time I was certain to be there. I was over to Jelli's place again today. They do serve some of the nicest and darlingest tea there! And the waffles are so cute! Some of them are ittsy-bitsy things and others are larger pieces of the most adorable pastry imaginable! The prices are reasonable—oh, so reasonable! One can get two sweet little cups of the loveliest tea and four or five of the dearest wafers for just a five dollar William. I attended the opening of a brand new nite club last night. They featured an orchestra directed by Paul Waltman or Whiteman or somebody like that. The club serves some of the rottenest buttermilk I have ever tasted. Over on one of the streets in the Bowery a little old woman keeps a fruit store. Once upon a time she was a Breadway celebrity.

"MY MAN" FANNIE BRICE HIT Ziegfield Follies Star Makes Good In First Talkie Fannie Brice, internationally famous comedienne, makes her screen debut at Balaban & Katz Roosevelt theater, Chicago, Saturday, April 20th, in Warner Bros. talking sensation, "My Man," inspired by her inimitable song of that title. Miss Brice has won for herself an enviable place through her work in the "Ziegfield Follies" and on the vaudeville stage, and her first screen production affords her an opportunity to combine most of her song hits, both new and old, into this pretentious melody drama. Fannie Brice, heretofore regarded principally as a singer of comedy songs, reveals a dramatic talent that is powerful as it is unsuspected, and discloses the star as a player of unusual emotional depth. In the main, however, "My Man" gives to the famous Fannie an expansive opportunity to display her delicious comedy, and she takes advantage of it to the fullest extent. A superlative cast supports the singing star, including Quinn Williams in the leading male role; Edna Murphy, as Fannie's younger sister, a sophisticated vamp of the flapper type; Richard Tucker, Andre de Segurola and many other favorites of the talking screen.

GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1929 DECREE END TO TURNER REGIME Church Head Raps Jas. Crisp LABELED ENEMY TO COMMUNITY, CHURCH, BISHOP St. James Official Makes A Statement; Claims Clash Of A. J. Carey, Crisp A statement by a St. James A. M. E. church official telling of a rebuke administered by Bishop Archibald J. Carey to James E. Crisp, Fifth ward aldermanic candidate, for his interference in St. James affairs, and the return of the Rev. D. H. Bird to Gary a few days after being sent to Bethel A. M. E. church in East Des Moines, Iowa, are the latest developments in conditions at St. James A. M. E. church here. The announcement of the removal of Rev. Bird a little more than a week ago from Gary to Iowa created such a disturbance among certain members of the church that a committee was formed to call on the Bishop and find out the reason for the removal. Mr. Crisp accompanied the committee. According to Rev. Bird, the change was made at his own suggestion. Mrs. Clara Webster, church official and leader in the fight to erect the St. James edifice which was completed last December, also made a statement, telling of the situation there. It follows. Quotes Bishop Carey "Of Mr. Crisp, Bishop Carey said, 'You are an enemy to me, an enemy to yourself, to your church, and to your community.' "Mr. Crisp was a delegate to the general conference last year, and was supposed to be a friend of Bishop Carey, and has promised upon many occasions to do all in his power to elevate and uplift the A. M. E. Church in this vicinity. As soon as a little upheaval came in St. James church, Mr. Crisp was on the ground to lend his assistance to destroy the newly erected church. "Conditions at St. James are of such that the best of feeling must exist that the church might be properly cared for. Rev. Bird's removal, so states the Bishop, was at his request, and Bishop Carey thought that such removal would be to Rev. Bird's own best interest, hence he made him the offer Called Bird In "Bishop Carey called Rev. Bird into his office and asked him if he wanted to go to this church. Rev. Bird's reply was, 'I do.' Bishop Carey said, 'Go Bird, and look the situation over, and if you ulike the church I will give you the appointment.' Rev. Bird insisted that he was willing to take Bishop Carey's word and asked the bishop to give him the appointment at once. Such was done. Rev. Bird was to return to this congregation in this city and resign but, instead, he returned and publicly announced that he was shocked at Bishop Carey's action. "This was why the membership was so astounded at the removal. Upon investigation Bishop Carey did not feel that he should give any more time to the matter as Rev. Bird had so willingly accepted the appointment. "When the committee arrived in Chicago the Bishop was very busy and only asked them to see him at the Ministerial Alliance three blocks away, but instead they hung around in the hall and raised quite a bit of commotion in the regal building which did not add dignity or refinement to those concerned. "The A. M. E. Church is no larger than its Bishops, for it is under them. When Bishop Carey is under fire, the A. M. E. banner in Gary is dragged in the dust." "Any member who would use a church to promote his candidacy reduces the denomination with which he is identified, and uses low tactics. Welfare Head Frank R. Beckwith, director of Negro welfare with the industrial board of Indiana, who was in Gary last week inspecting conditions at the steel mills NEGRO WELFARE HEAD EXPLAINS DEPARTMENT Visited Gary Last Week To Make Talk At Steel Mill And Look At Situation Frank R. Beckwith, director of Negro welfare with the industrial board of Indiana, was in Gary last week to inspect the local mills and to make talks to the employees working in them. He expected to stay until the end of this week but was called to Muncie last Friday. While here, Mr. Beckwith made several talks in the steel mills to workers and had intended to make more. He is due back here in the near future. The bureau of Negro welfare is a newly created department, coming into existence on April 1. It was formed with the intention of taking care of the 20,000 Negro men and women employed throughout the state. Mr. Beckwith's work consists of factory inspection and noon lectures an accident prevention. It deals also with compensation matters. Indiana is the fourth state to have such a department and follows behind West Virginia, Michigan and Missouri. Jazzin' The News (The week's news in verse) By F.

"Bishop Carey will be in the city on the 24th, 25th and 26th attending the Gary district conference and at that time he is going to make a public statement of the whole matter. "St. James church has a fine corps of officials, and during the 18 months Rev. Bird has been pastor, not a single cross word has been passed in the official board. The membership is about 102 and they have assumed this large responsibility and will go thru to the end if they are allowed to go ahead without interference of Mr. Crisp from the First A. M. E. church. "In the face of all that might be said, political influence had much to do with the erection of St. James A. M. E. church." PUBLIC LIBRARY GARY, INDIANA 19, 1929 THE END ER R Raps Jas. Our Town By LOUISA WHITTED Daughter of Ald. A. B. Whitlock Presented In Recital On Saturday evening the music lovers of Gary gave up the usual Saturday evening activities to be present at the presentation of the petite and charming daughter of Gary's popular Alderman and Mrs. A. B. Whitlock, when, at 7:30 o'clock, Hazel, clad in a dainty berried dress of peach chiffon with dark lustrous curls, made her initial bow to Gary's musical world. She was presented by Mrs. Bennet, her teacher, in the auditorium of the Gary Conservatory of Music, and was assisted by Mrs. F. W. Alexander, Mrs. R. D. Guy, and her sister, Rosa. This young artist's playing was delightful, each number being played with the artistry of a musician far her senior. Her interpretation of Chopin, Dutton, etc., was indeed unusual. The evident charm of her personality as well as her playing was shown by the shower of gifts and beautiful flowers she received from friends both in and out of town. Little Miss Whitlock has natural musical ability and those of her friends who were present on Saturday evening will look forward eagerly to her next recital. Funeral of Popular Gary Youth Little Howard Stacker, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Stacker died at his home, 2325 Adams street after a severe illness resulting in typhoid pneumonia. Howard was an unusual type of youth and highly thought of by his elders as well as playmates. His loss is keenly felt by all who knew him. Funeral was held Wednesday at one o'clock from Israel C. M. E. church Rev. Bailey officiating. The Roosevelt Annex band was in full attendance, and a very large number of school pupils were present in a body. Boy Scout troops, of which he was a member, acted as escort, with Patrol Leader Lloyd Cooke, in charge. They lent a military aspect to the funeral as they sounded taps at church and cemetery for their little comrade. A ladies' quartette sang one number. The service was one of the most impressive that has been witnessed, and bore unmistakable testimony to the high esteem and love in which little Howard was held. Roosevelt Annex Scores Again In Dance Program The program of dances put on at the Memorial Auditorium Tuesday evening by the Roosevelt Annex pupils, under the direction of Mrs. Patsy Wallace was well attended and considered by some to be the best in point of selection of numbers, that has yet been given. Chosen for special mention was the jazz wedding number made up of the very small children; the snappy Ham and Eggs sketch with Glenn McAdo and Leon Abrams (who won the poster contest for the city some time ago). Also the rope-jumping sketch with little Dudley Turner featured on roller skates. All were worthy of special mention but space will not permit. However, the whole performance was most creditable and a repetition eagerly awaited.

Neloms Successful In First Court Tilt With Wife Of 13 Days When Mrs. Eldora Neloms, 36, estranged wife of the Rev. Charles W. Neloms, 54, of 2576 Madison street, appeared before Judge Greenwald in Lake Superior court Wednesday morning in a preliminary hearing on their cross-suits for divorce, she was addressed by the court: "You say you want temporary alimony. Just how much do you want?" "As much as I can get, Judge," Mrs. Neloms replied. But it seemed as if her predatory instincts did not set well with Judge Greenwald, as he saw fit to award none at all. And so the first round of the court tilt of Neloms vs. Neloms goes to the former husband on points. "And it will be the same way when the other part of the case comes up." Rev. Neloms informed a GARY AMERICAN representative Wednesday afternoon. "She'll not get a cent of mine." Mrs. Neloms is suing her erstwhile husband for $4,000 of his reputed $12,000 in real estate holdings. Their matrimonial bark ran aground after 13 days of sailing—most of which were rather stormy. They were married on March 17 and Mrs. Neloms left the preacher's bed and board on March 30 after Rev. Neloms had telephoned the night before to State Prosecutor Oliver Starr at Crown Point and to Detective Sergeant John Bolden asking their advice in getting rid of his wife who apparently charmed him no longer. The date for the divorce proceedings has not yet been set.

HOME EDITION REE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS HUESTON TO BE WILLIAMS' HOPE ON SOUTH SIDE Find Turner Tried Hard To Manage Johnson Or Watts Instead Of Williams By RAYMOND HARPER With the announcement that Judge William C. Hueston and Dr. Dudley W. Turner will manage Mayor Floyd Williams' campaign on the south side for re-election, astute political observers see a condition existing unique in the history of Gary politics. Dr. Turner in the field alone as campaign manager might cause a 3,000 or 4,000 Negro vote defection from the Williams banner because of the threatened wrecking of the Turner machine which is to be brought about in the May 7 primaries. But with Judge Hueston, a man of another type, as the real head of his campaign, it is generally conceded that Mayor Williams will lose little, if any, of the vote that would normally go to him from the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards. Turner "Fished" Turner, according to reports which leaked out from authoritative sources, tried hard to get Coroner A. A. Watts to enter the race for mayor. Failing that, he attempted to get himself the position of Negro campaign manager for R. O. Johnson. "I am against Mayor Williams and his crowd, and will fight hard to keep him from being elected," he told Johnson representatives when he laid his proposition before them. But Johnson, realizing Turner's inability to deliver and that feeling among the Negroes was strong against Turner, turned him down. And this is the man who, all other openings blocked, leaped on the Floyd Williams band wagon as one of his campaign managers. Call Turner Doomed But the real leaders on the south side, voicing the opinions of voters, have called Turner "doomed." So deeply rooted is the spirit of revolt that on May 7 the voters, tired of being held down, intend to wreck the Turner machine beyond repair. Negroes, observers say, are doing more thinking now than ever. They realize that the 20,000 here have not made as much progress as they should. They see the cancer of vice eating into their well-being. They see a certain band of grafting and unscrubulous politicians cultivating the cancer for their own individual welfare. And they have picked out Dr. Turner as leader of the dastardly group. Dr. Turner, they say, has never done anything to better the condition of the Negro on the south side. His political activities have been directed only to better his bank account, no matter how great the sacrifice of the respect of colored voters. And at last the voters have become aroused. They have decreed: "Turner and his kind must go." No Williams Interest Turner, by his hop from Watts to Johnson to Williams, showed himself to be interested in no candidate. He is almost a professional campaign manager. He has not the best interests of Mayor Williams at heart. And so, while the present mayor looms as a probable winner in the coming race, Turner seems doomed. But Mayor Williams, if successful, will go over because Judge Hueston counteracted the evil influence of Dr. Turner. And he will have successfully come through one of the most unique situations in the history of Gary politics. TWO CLERKS IN CHAIN STORE DETROIT.

GARY, INDIANA PAGE TWO BURRUS ENTERS RACE TO RETAIN ALDERMAN POST Third Ward Alderman Holds Up Record As Proof Of City Council Ability William E. Burrus, present alderman from the Third ward, announces this week that he is a candidate for renomination to the city council from the Third ward in the republican primaries. He is counting on his enviable record made during his three years as alderman to put him over. A native of North Carolina where he was educated, Mr. Burrus came to Gary in 1909, obtaining a position as an electrician in Gary Works. He was employed in the mills until 1918 when he has appointed a detective sergeant under Chief of Police Glen Rambo during the administration of Mayor William F. Hodges. In 1921 he was appointed warden in the Lake county jail by Sheriff W. H. Olds. He held this position for two and a half years. In 1925, at the urgent solicitation of many friends, he announced his candidacy for councilman of the 3rd ward to which office he subsequently was elected. Mr. Burrus said he is a property owner in Gary and that he has lived in the 3rd ward throughout his residence in Gary. He resides at 1644 Monroe. He is married and has one son. "I feel that I have delivered a 100 per cent service to citizens of the 3rd ward during my term in the city council," Mr. Burrows said. "A glance at the reports of the board of public works for the last three years will convince any reasonable citizen that I have not been sleeping on the job and that my energies always were directed toward the adoption of measures which resulted in much reconstruction and many improvements in my ward. "A careful study of my record in the council will show that from 1926 to 1928 a sum of $61,875 was spent for public improvements in my ward. This amount does not include the sum appropriated for the improvements which are planned for completion this year." Mr. Burrus promised that if he is renominated and subsequently reelected, he will continue to discharge his obligations to citizens of the 3rd ward without regard to race, color, nationality or compensation. If re-nominated and re-elected, Mr. Burrus promises: To serve all the people to the best of his ability and to give everyone an honest and square deal. To answer every call and give prompt and proper consideration to all matters coming before him and to see that Third ward citizens receive whatever consideration is due them through the city council. To use his influence in helping the unemployed to secure work and to see that the business men are protected and given all rights due them by the laws of the government.

Krohn, long active in republican politics in Gary, has just announced that he will be a candidate on the republican ticket for the election for councilman-at-large in the coming May 7 primaries. A resident of Gary for the last 20 years, Mr. Krohn has taken part in the campaign of his party regularly. He was a member of the old Harrison club and now is affiliated with the Gary Republican club. His long residence here which has given him full knowledge of civic conditions and needs, qualifies him for membership in the city council, Mr. Krohn believes, while his record of service to the paty organization is cited by his supporters as entitling him to republican support in his campaign for nomination this spring. Mr. Krohn is an engineer in the employ of the E. J. & E. railroad. He has worked for the "J" for the last 15 years. On the south side Mr. Krohn has many friends. He has assisted many Negro candidates in winning political honors. He was instrumental in putting across the first Negro alderman here in Gary. Having shown his friendship for the colored folk here, Mr. Krohn believes that they will aid him in getting the office he now seeks, especially as he has not sought public office before and has not called on his south side friends for support prior to this election. Mr. Krohn is married and resides at 630 Washington street. a Spanish theatrical in the near future—a costume affair, which promises to be quite an attraction. More details will be given later.

Mr. Hoover came to Gary in 1907 and was first employed as a telegraph operator and ticket clerk on what then was called the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. His passenger station at that time was a small tar paper-covered one-story building on the site of the present union station of the New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio roads. Later Mr. Hoover was connected with the Gary Undertaking company until that business was purchased by Louis Finch. After conducting automobile repair shops and garages Mr. Hoover, with his father, built the garage building now standing at 21st and Broadway. He later engaged in the cartage contracting business and then as a gravel road construction contractor. By diligent night study, Mr. Hoover obtained his legal education through LaSalle Extension university and in February, 1924, was admitted to the Lake county bar. He has been a practicing attorney since that time, having his office at present at Ridge Road and Broadway. Mr. Hoover has been a property owner in Gary since 1913. In 1916 he moved to Glen Park where he owns his present home at 3888 Harrison. In all of the business with which Mr. Hoover has been connected, he has carried out the policy of employing colored help, giving jobs to colored men and women. In a statement issued today Mr. Hoover said he is not employing any campaign workers or buying any votes nor is he seeking the office as a matter of personal profit, but instead to render service to the public in general, fairly and impartially, and not to any individual or corporation.

HARDAWAY, the loud-mouthed young carbon copy of Roy Simmons, is a man conspicuously devoid of those qualities which I find in a man chosen to represent you in the city council.

The loud-mouthed and vulgar antics he uses coarse if used in a barn. And the pity of it lies in the fact that others. The very thought of him taking his pool-room vulgarity of intelligent and representative civic leaders is disgusting. POLITICS IS NOT a game which children play. Hardaway learn before he is ready for the common council. He lacks both and maturity. His knowledge of city government is still in its boasted intelligence is purely superficial. He hasn't been in the enough to realize what it is all about. Like a moth, he is beat against a thousand cable power are light which he has foolishly the glare of a safety match. The fate of Hardaway will be the one who have attempted to darken with their mintelligence the light, knowledge, maturity and sound judgment.

MANY ATTEND JONES MEET FREE COP IN NEGRO KILLING Coroner Decides Officer Shot Bonner In Self Defense Dr. A. A. Watts, Lake county coroner, decided Tuesday that Motorcycle Officer Lester Cummings, white, was instilled in the killing of James Bonner, 35, 530 East 21st street, Saturday night when he tried to arrest the latter as he was attempting to kill L. Rose, 1708 Delaware street, in an alley near 17th avenue and Delaware. The officer was called on the scene of the fight from a motorcycle shop nearby where he was getting the handlebars of his machine repaired. Dashing into the alley, Cummings saw Bonner chasing Rose with a butcher knife in his hand. Instead of obeying the policeman's command to halt, Bonner turned and came toward the officer with the knife. Twice more came the command to halt. Bonner kept coming. Cummings then drew out his gun, according to his story, and fired twice in the air as a warning. Bonner came on and slashed twice at the officer, cutting his coat but leaving the flesh untouched. Cummings then shot his assailant three times and the latter turned and ran a short distance before falling dead to the ground. COMMISSIONERS' ALLOWANCES APRIL TERM, 1929. COUNTY OFFICERS Alvina M.

Jones, aldermanic candidate, and his constituents spoke on the Jones platform and hurled charges and challenges to William Burrus, present councilman. By S. Gillion, ardent Jones worker, Burrus was charged with dodging the draft during the world war by joining the Gary police force. The speaker also deplored the hoodlum effort to break up the meeting. When C. P. Jones spoke, he challenged Burrus to meet him in an open debate to discuss the issues in the campaign. In behalf of Jones spoke Alex Mountous, well known Third ward leader. The meeting was chairmaned by Raheem Karmashanadri. Other speakers included Dan Redding, C. W Yerbury and Wilbur Hardaway. The Jones number is 94. Guest: "I must go—it is nearly midnight and I shall be home much too late." Hostess: "Better late than never."—"Il Traviso" Rome THE GARY AMERICAN FRIDAY. APRIL 19. 1923 1.
