At the trial the petitioners introduced evidence that the Virginia street school did not afford a pupil all the rights, privileges, and advantages of all other schools of the township, torn or city, as is by law required, inasmuch as the Virginia street school had no physical culture equipment such as a swimming pool, gymnasium and shower baths; nor did that school have library facilities, or offer elective high school courses, and in many other ways there existed a gross inequality between the two schools, which need not here be mentioned. "The court rendered a general finding against the petitioners and in favor of the school city. Case Appealed "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has appealed the case to the Supreme court of the State of Indiana. Clarence Darrow, one of the association's lawyers, has been asked to take charge of the case on appeal. "The Association recognizes the right of the school city to provide separate schools for colored children in the city of Gary. The Association is, however always going to insist that wherever such separation is made that the colored children be placed in schools 'having all the rights, privileges and advantages of all other schools of the city,' as is required by the law of this state and by the decisions of the United States Supreme court."

HEAD DECLARES LAWS MISUNDERSTOOD Raps Campaigners Making Light Of School Case Fight By Negroes Aroused because many persons campaigning for city office candidates have made light of the Emmerson high school strike and fight now pending before the state supreme court, the Rev. A. C. Bailey, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., gave a written statement to THE AMERICAN today, condemning such utterances and explaining the law, the point raised in the case, and the future plans of his organization in the school fight. The strike occurred in September and October of 1927. Rev. Bailey charges that such campaigners are deliberately attempting to delude the masses unacquainted with the law. His statement follows: "Forget Case" "Many persons now campaigning in the interest of various candidates for city offices, are stating in their speeches, that 'the Negroes of Gary should forget about the Gary school case,' that 'no wrong was intended, nor was any committed in the affair'; 'that the laws of Indiana provide for separate schools and consequently it was a waste of time and money to have taken the matter to court.' The foregoing are only a few illustrations of the type of propaganda that these paid speakers are attempting to spread over the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards. "Lest these scatter-brained ballyhoo artists should beguile and mislead some unsuspecting persons to to the real issue in the Gary school case, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People begs leave to make the following statement through your paaper: The acts of 1885, p. 125 of the Indiana legislature provides as follows 'The trustee or trustees of such township, town or city may organize the colored children of such township, town or city into separate schools having all the rights, privileges and advantages of all other schools of the township, town or city.' Makes Fight Clear "In the Gary school case the petitioners were transferred from the Emerson high school, a fully equipped high school, to an unsanitary frame building known as the Virginia street school. The only question in the case was whether or not the latter school afforded the petitioners all the rights privileges, and opportunities for a high school education as did the Emerson school, from which the petitioners were THE WISEST CRACKS IN AMERICA HELLO, EVERYBODY!

Mustard Scores Another Hot Scoop! With the anthracene at that Col. Lucius B.

Col. Whiffletree left Hot Tamale, Mexico, by bicycle two weeks ago, after writing from the rebel firing line for the Daily Disappointment. He reached the U. S. border without mishap after slipping through both federal and rebel lines, but just two miles on this side in Texas, he had both wheels shot out from under him by dry agents. He then purchased roller skates but coming through Oklahoma he was mistaken for the governor and nearly impeached. Since then he has been continuing his journey in easy stages by coaster wagon and has assured us that he will be in Gary in plenty of time.

B. Whitlock, present alderman, will be returned to the city council after polling 50 per cent of the entire vote cast. These citizens claim that they have not allowed the pleas of his opponents to prejudice them. Further assurance that Ald. Whitlock will return is gathered by his friends in his endorsement this week by the Fifth Ward West Side Republican club and by the Lake County Wage Earners' league. The latter organization has announced the councilman's endorsement in the pages of the Glen Park News and Gary Post-Tribune. He is the only alderman in the Third. Fourth and Fifth wards thought by the league to merit being placed on its slate. Ald. Whitlock has conducted a clean, businesslike campaign devoid of personal animosities and has not resorted to questionable and insidious propaganda to foster his candidacy. His record in the council, his long residence in Gary and seven years' service as alderman, his support of republican party principles, are all pointed out as making him the best qualified man for office in the Fifth ward, and his renomination Tuesday seems assured. Interviewed Thursday night, Ald. Whitlock stated, "I do not believe my friends will fail me. I expect to be returned to the council by that group of intelligent citizens who are not easily swayed by mere promises." ANNEX ORCHESTRA IN DEBUT Will Play For Exercises Of Night School Monday Monday night at seven o'clock marks the debut of the Roosevelt Annex school orchestra, under the leadership of Director Potter, when the unit appears at the night school exercises held at that time at Memorial auditorium in the Education week program.

The new organization is said to be composed of young musicians of exceptional ability and Mr. Potter is credited with developing their talent.

PRICE THREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS Our Town By LOUISA WHITTED Gives Elaborate Party Quite the prettiest and most elaborate party of the season was given last Friday evening at 215 W. 23rd avenue when Miss Juanita Williams, one of Gary's popular school teachers, entertained the We-Modern Club and a number of other friends with a formal bridge party. The color scheme of orchid and yellow was carried through the decorations throughout the luncheon and even in the gown of the hostess who wore a beautiful creation in orchid. An elaborate center piece of yellow tulips and orchid sweet peas graced the table, stick-sticks of orchid were dressed with yellow tulle; orchid candies were served in yellow baskets; a fruit cocktail service was daintily decorated with orchid and served on orchid mats. And, while it may be good tablte to give details of the lunch, it's good taste was so apparent to those who enjoyed it, that we perforce mention the fried chicken, pea patties, wonderful salad, celery, and ice-cream molded into yellow and orchid blies with little yellow and orchid cakes served in alternating colors. The whole effect was so beautifully carried out that those present will remember it as one of the delightful affairs of the year.

(Continued on Page 2) HOME EDITION HREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS ampaign ULT TION OBSERVER HERE PICKS WINNERS FOR ALL POSTS Blackwell, Whitlock And Burrus To Win In Ward Fights, Taylor Says A forecast of the winners in all major city offices and in the races for councilman-at-large and the Third, Fourth and Fifth ward aldermanic contests was made today by Jack Taylor, 1533 Washington street, an ardent political worker who is generally considered to be a shrewd observer. His forecast follows. Mayoralty Race "Floyd E. Williams, a 2 to 1 favorite. Will carry north side vote and three-fourths of south side this time. Has built up a wonderful and unbeatable organization. "R. O. Johnson a good second, but his organization is not as strong as Mayor Williams'. Will fall short 5,000. "Bertrand C. Hayes, John F. Cory, in also-ran column. "Joseph Ferrara, another comedian in also-ran column." Mr. Taylor picks Herman H. Werber as the strongest candidate for the office of city treasurer and Lloyd B. Snowden as second. He calls Floyd Stickney a "money horse," but lists him as third place winner. Winifred Hunter is called a "dark horse" and is said to bear watching. He says C. W. Yerbury will "pull up lame in the also-ran column." The City judge race seems to the observer to be undecided, but he believes the race will be between Charles I. Clemens and C. M. Greenwald, present incumbent of the office. He gives Benjamin J. Laube an "outside chance" to win. William N. Dunn he lists for fourth place, Herman L. Key fifth Noel R. Bedow sixth. For seventh he names Daniel J. Redding, asserting that the latter will lose again. He does not mention J. H. Daly at all, considered by many to have an excellent winning chance. "Out of the 54 candidates for councilman-at-large I pick eight men, but there can be only five elected. Out of this list of eight I pick five winners," Mr. Taylor stated. The eight candidates he lists are: Otto V. Gray, Evan Hess, Edmund Garich, Dr. Roy P. Smith, David Grand, Edward Krieger, George Weeks, Roscoe D. Guy. "Bill" Burrus. Third ward alderman, is picked as a 3 to 1 favorite because of a strong organization and loyal followers. Michael Yesh is expected to give strong competition because of foreign endorsement, but is slated to finish second. John Sulich is listed third, George Guraly fourth, George Nestorovich fifth, Zenon Bardowski sixth, Louis K. Soteros seventh, and D. M. Allen eighth. He says Charles ("C. P.") Jones will run last. Dr. S. R. Blackwell, present alderman, is expected to win out by a narrow margin over Hazel M. Fletcher and Walter Wasielewski. He picks John W. Russell for fourth place and William Owsley for sixth. He says the honors of last place will go to either Walter B. Gary or David Moses, the latter of whom he terms "just a funny man." Mr. Taylor sees a stiff fight in the Fifth ward, with Alderman A. B. Whitlock winning out if he doesn't slacken his pace. He claims that Andrew Means is "getting stronger every day" and that Wilbur Hardaway will give both a tough race but will lose in the home stretch. He picks James E. Crisp for fourth place, Frank Rudolph for fifth, Fleming Burrell for sixth, George Jeroscak for seventh, and Marnell B. Wilkinson for eighth place. FOR CLEAN and HONEST SERVICE, — SUPPORT LOUIS K.

George Rapaich is asking that the Gary voters give him the benefit of their suffrage in the primary elections next Tuesday. He is a candidate for councilman-at-large. Mr. Rapaich came to Gary in 1912. He shortly afterward organized and served as president of the Tolleston Ice and Coal Co., building it up to its present strength. He operated Turner hall at 14th and Massachusetts street for 10 years and also the Rapaich hotel and restaurant at 11th and Broadway. In 1917 Mr. Rapaich was among those who enlisted in the U. S. Army in the world conflict, disposing of his business holdings in order to do so. After being honorably discharged at the end of the war he returned to Gary to open the Rapaich Clothing store at 12th and Broadway. At present Mr. Rapaich is engaged in the real estate business and serves as special Gary representative of the Businessmen's Assurance Co. of Kansas City, Mo., with offices at 1701 Broadway. It was eight years ago that Mr. Rapaich sought his first political office He ran for justice of the peace of Calumet township, but was defeated for the office by a narrow margin of three votes in a recount made necessary by a close election. Had the count included the ballots of a number of first voters, Mr. Rapaich says he would have been elected. His intention to seek the councilman-at-large post was formed at the insistence of a large number of friends who pledged their support to his candidacy Mr. Rapaich declared. In order to strengthen his candidacy, several Rapaich-for-councilman clubs have been formed and they are confident that their candidate will be among those who are victorious.

By KURIOUS KATIE Question: Do you think that at least one capable Negro should be employed as clerk in these stores that depend mainly on colored people for their support? Dewey Boseman, 1708, Harrison St. Yes, I think they should if they depend upon colored people for their support—they should hire somebody from the race. A. Leaverett Webster, 2364 Massachusetts St.: Yes, because it will show to the customers that the owners of the stores are appreciative and earnestly considerate. John Foster, 1623 Jefferson St.: No I wouldn't say they should be employed. A man can conduct his business to suit himself. But I do say that the colored people can use their own discretion about trading with them. They certainly don't have to trade with them. And shouldn't. DAWES HAS SIX WEEKS JN.

Mr. Manalan, who has been here 22 years, obtained all of his education in Gary schools. He was almost ready to graduate from Emmerson high school when the United States entered the world war. He tried to enlist in the army but couldn't because of his extreme youth. Filled with the desire to "do his bit" for his country despite his age, he went to work for the E. J. & E. railroad. After the war he started work in the Gary Works in the merchant mill where he has been for nine years. As an athlete, Mr. Manalan has gained considerable fame. He was with the Y. M. C. A. wrestling team for a long time, and has also coached and played with the Merchant Mill Basketball team in the Industrial league. Louis Manalan, father of Henry Manalan, is also well known here, being a pioneer citizen. He was one of the first policemen here and has been on the force 14 years. He is known at present to many as "Louis the turnkey." He was also at one time in the construction department of Gary Works. The elder Manalan has met many of the Negro citizens and has formed lifelong friendships among them. He is asking that those who know him support his son for councilman. If elected, Mr. Manalan promises to serve the city faithfully and to the best of his ability, and will endeavor to sponsor beneficial and oppose detrimental movements. His number is 59. to complete his work in San Domingo before taking up his diplomatic duties in London, it was said at the White House last Wednesday. Former Vice President Dawes is now in San Domingo where he is heading a commission of financial experts who are engaged in revising the Dominican fiscal system.

The story is the old familiar one that has brought tears and laughter to audiences in nearly every theatre in America for a generation. Haines is the wise crook who upsets the police departments of half a dozen cities and virtually defies arrest. He is aided in his nefarious assaults on society by two of the funniest crooks the screen has ever seen, Karl Dane and Tully Marshall. Opposing them is the detective, played by Lionel Barrymore, a grim and seemingly heartless personality that yet is as natural and human as any role the great actor has as yet enacted.

"It is a revelation of what can be accomplished—a portent for the future. This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer all-talking film has all the accoutrements of a Broadway musical show group about a gripping story of back-stage life filled with comedy touches. Through out the story are interspersed some of the most tuneful song numbers ever written either for stage or screen. These are sung delightfully by Charles King. Broadway musical comedy star Anita Page and Bessie Love, with a big revue chorus of sixty blondes brunettes and redheads to help out. The song numbers, "Broadway Melody," "You Were Meant for Me," and "The Wedding of the Painted Doll, have already attained national popularity and are the high spots in a delightful score.

In "Weary River" Barthelness talks in dialogue sequences and plays the piano. A Vitaphone test of the star's voice proved it of excellent quality for Vitaphone reproduction and much interest is being evinced by Barthelness fans over the star's talkie debut. "Weary River" is the story of a singing convict and contains an abundance of action and sentimental dramatic interest. It was directed by Frank Lloyd from the short story by Courtney Ryley Cooper and introduces Betty Compson as the feminine lead opposite Barthelness. Others in the cast include William Holden, Louis Natheaux, George Stone, Raymond Turner, Robert O'Connor and numerous others of cinematic note. Ernie Haller was chief cinematographer.
