Didja ever hear the story about the pair of tights? Well, once upon a time there were two Scotchmen. That's all right—we don't think much of it either. This guy Aesop didn't have a thing on us. Why, we can spot him two fables and beat him to the end of the volume. We're GOOD!!! If you don't believe it, run your eyes over this: George was a bozo that worked for Mr. Pullman and white people's tips. This guy had two wives, which proved that he was a bozo and a glutton for punishment. One vamp lived in Tacoma and the other existed in Miami. The dame in Tacoma was some slim pickin's and also really a long drink of water. She was right at home in the mountains where she never missed the sunshine. The broad in Miami really lived up to her name. She was so fat until when she took her daily promenade on the street, people didn't know whether she was walking or rolling. The only mountains around this baby's place were in the movies and only came in sight at the matinee and the evening performances. George's life was filled with as much variety as there are ants at a Sunday school picnic. On his last trip George had a guy who was Scotch two ways—inside and out. He was so stingy that he fed his chickens puffed wheat because it looked like they got more for their money. When the fellow got off the train in Tacoma George had an awful time trying to keep him from committing suicide. It seems that he passed by a place that advertised coffins at half price and being Scotch he wanted to take advantage of the bargain. When George hit his mama's house in Tacoma she hit him for twenty dollars. She was a smooth and oily as 3 in 1. She asked him for fifteen, he claimed he had only ten, but her oil was so thick that he ended by giving her a twenty.

It seems that it was near Christmas and he had told her not to expect anything because Santa Claus had gotten a divorce from Merry Christmas and was afraid to be caught hang around there this year. Yep, he had a lot of variety. He went as many different places and got into as many different kinds of company as a nickel with a plugged up hole. He would leave Miami and go to Washington on one train, but sometimes things would get so hot that he had to come back before the next. If his honey child in Tacoma was sweet to him, then his Miami bigger-than-a-half was as peaceable as two hungry wild cats. MORAL—(If any)—If you want to stay in hot water all the time, spice your life with a lot of variety. FREE TWO JAILED ILLEGALLY Cops Enter Residence Minus Warrant; No Conviction Because police entered and searched illegally the home of Anna and William Sims at 1760 Harrison street, Judge C. M. Greenlee in city court Monday morning dismissed state liquor law violation charges against the couple. The motion to quash the evidence was made by Atty. Roger W. Woodfolk, representing the defendants. He claimed that the search of the double flat was made by means of a John Doe warrant and was not specific. It was also brought out that there were others besides the Sims family residing in the flat and they were not taken into custody. Detective Sergeant John Papp led the raiding squad. A search revealed the presence of a 50-gallon still, six barrels of mash and five gallons of whiskey. PROVIDENCE, R.

C. Hueston "my friend Bill," now turns the full force of his anti-Elk administration guns on the local justice of the peace. CHANGE AX MAN CASE TO PORTER CO. COURT Mack Moved To Valparaiso When Trial Is Changed From Crown Point Sensation seekers who thronged the court room of Judge Martin Smith at Crown Point Monday morning to hear the trial of Ulysses Mack, 28-year-old confessed ax man murderer, were forced to leave in disappointment when the court granted a petition for a change of venue field by C.C. McGuire, defense attorney. As a result, the murder trial will take place in Valparaiso. Porter county, before Judge Grant Crumpacker in the circuit court at a date to be set. He was removed there Tuesday and will be confined in a Valparaiso jail until the trial day. Mack faces trial on three charges of murder, to all of which he has confessed, although he pleaded not guilty at a preliminary hearing before Judge Smith a few weeks ago. The state will try one case at a time. The first will be that of Josephine Odoriczzi, white, who was killed and assaulted in a robbery at 15th avenue and Pierce street. If found guilty, it is mandatory that he be sentenced to death in the electric chair. Should he be freed, he will have to face trial for the murder of Mary Gigl, 16 year old white girl, and for the slaying of James Welsh, an alleged beer flat porter. To testify against Mack are Ferarde Martino, white, owner of the beer flat where Welsh was killed and who was seriously injured at the time, and Chester Dybalski, also white, wounded when Mary Gigl was fatally injured. Mrs. Mack, wife of the slayer, is also being held as a witness. Mack's companion, whom the killer says accompanied him on his crime career, has never been apprehended. noons popular educational programs and varied entertainment will be offered. The furniture exhibition will consist of 200 completely furnished rooms, now in process of construction under the stadium. They will be open afternoon and night. NO MURDERS IN APRIL, SO POLICE REPORTS STATE No Negroes Jailed Charged With Gambling But The Arrest Rate High Although no Negroes were arrested during April on murder or gambling charges, the total arrests of black Garyites was an even higher percentage than ordinary of the entire number of arrests of all races, according to last month's police reports which have just been made public. Of 326 arrests, 112 of them were of people of color. In other words, approximately one-third of the April arrests were of south side residents, although the Negro is between one-fifth and one-sixth of the whole Gary population. American born whites arrested totaled 42 and the number of Irish lodged in the city jail, the nationality to stand third on the list, totaled 30. The biggest arrest of Negroes in April, as happens in most months, was as suspects, 21 being picked up as compared to nine native born whites. Altogether, 69 were jailed on suspicion. Fourteen Negroes were likewise held for other officers, out of a total of 44 arrested for the same purpose. There were also 13 drunks from a total of 71. Other charges lodged against people of color and the totals arrested, are: Manslaughter ..... 0 2 Assault ..... 0 1 Assault and battery ..... 9 19 Assault with deadly weapon 1 1 Assault with intent to kill 1 1 Assault with intent to rape. 0 1 Concealed weapons 5 6 Demented ..... 0 1 Fraudulent checks 1 1 Fugitive ..... 5 11 Larceny ..... 10 13 Malicious destruction property ..... 5 8 Robbery ..... 0 3 Held for sheriff ..... 6 10 Operating liquor nuisance ..... 3 7 Violation city ordinance ..... 1 2 Violation liquor law ..... 4 15 Jazzin' The News (The week's news in verse) By F.

HUNTON BRANCH "Y" CHANGES TO NEW LOCATION Dormotories Unsupported, Is Cause—To Emphasize Play, Athletics Offering an entirely new type of program to the boys and young men of the community, Hunton branch Y. M. C. A. this week moved from its central district location at 1984 broadway into larger quarters at 2225 Broadway, according to an announcement made today by Secretary E. L. Gordon. Lack of appreciation on the part of the community for the dormitory facilities in the old building, a fact which made it difficult to keep the rooms rented in the place, was given by Mr. Gordon as the reason for the removal. Most of the rooms remained vacant in the old building half of the time, Mr. Gordon said. The steep rent paid monthly for rental of the place made it well-nigh impossible. Mr. Gordon declares, to maintain it with half of the dormitory vacant most of the time. In its new location the "Y" will shift its program and emphasize play and athletics. A large gymnasium with a square footage of nearly 4,000 feet will be opened in the new place within a few days. It will be fully equipped. The gymnasium, by converting it into an auditorium, can also be used for an assembly hall, Mr. Gordon declares. Club rooms for the use of clubs and organizations will be provided in the new building, he stated. EPISCOPALS TO CONFIRM St. Augustine Church, Just 2 Years Old, Progressing Confirmation of seven into St. Augustine Episcopal church, located at 19th avenue and Adams street, will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30, according to an announcement made today, with the Rt. Rev. Bishop Campbell Gray of this diocese officiating. The confirmation to be held Sunday will be the second held at the church. Six were confirmed last year. Those to be confirmed Sunday are: Mrs. Gillmore Gale, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Johnson, George Washington and his two sons, George, Jr., and James, and Miss Constance Carruthers. St. Augustine has just celebrated its second birthday. It was started on May 15, 1927, by L. W. Wallace, A. J. Butler, Dr. Gonsalves, F. L. Sperling, Samuel Sexton, I. R. Kellogg, Dr. R. O. Mundin, Mrs. Ernestine Lawson, Mrs. F. B. Alexander, Mrs. Samuel Sexton, Mrs. Anna Washington, and Mrs. F. J. Stovall. The Rev. James E. Foster, rector of Christ church, assisted by the Rev. L. W. Applegate, rector emeritus, have charge of services there. The church is progressing and hopes to soon have a rector of its own, thus lifting some of the responsibility from the shoulders of the Rev. Mr. Foster. AN EDITOR FACES OIL RICHES Oklahoma Journalist May Get Millions In Short Time OKLAHOMA CITY.—Fate seems prepared to smile on Roscoe Dungee, editor of the Black Dispatch, militant weekly, published here. A forty-acre farm located just at the edge of the city limits, which Dungee owns, is, according to experts, over an oil pool, the existence of which is being confirmed by the sinking of a well across the road from the Dungee farm.

SEES DEATH OF NEGRO IN GARY CITY POLITICS Ex-Garyite Urges Support Of Hardaye As He Is The "Last Of Mohicans" Here A suggestion that the Negroes of Gary get behind Wilbur Hardaway and around him build up again the shattered remnants of the political strength here was made in a letter received this week from William C. Hicks, a former Gary business man now living in Cincinnati. The letter follows: "I am receiving your good paper promptly each week for which I am indeed grateful. In the last issue I noticed with some regret that the Negroes of Gary had the doxology of politics read to them on the 7th inst. I sympathize with our friend Whitlock, but I think he is the kind of a man to whom a temporary political set-back is only an incident in his life, and an incentive to cause him to do greater things. "Since Hardaway has been declared the winner, I am sure that you are big enough to get behind him, and give him your support, because in the case of Gary it looks like he is 'the last of the Mohicans.' Around Wilbur you should begin now to rebuild the shattered remnants of the political strength of our group. I feel that the recent election should prove to the Negro more than ever the necessity for race solidity. "Here is Cincinnati where they have never had a colored councilman, the white politicians were able to destroy their wonderful chance for sending a Negro to the city council, by the same tactics that were used in Gary or any other community where Negroes allow themselves to be used as bait.

HOME EDITION HREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS g April DS STON CLAIM HUESTON SHARED HEAVILY IN ELK FINANCE Is Called 'Incompetent' And 'Creature Of Wilson' By S. A. Brusseaux Justice William C. Hueston, commissioner of education for the I. B. P. O. O., came under the specific fire this week of Sheridan A. Brusseaux, Chicago detective investigating graft in connection with the regime of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. He was charged with extravagance and inefficiency in the administration of his office. According to the minutes of the last grand lodge, Hueston's office disbursed $13,712.20 from August 4, 1927, to August 6, 1928. Only $7,004.23 was paid to schools for scholarships. Exactly $1,400 of this was spent in connection with the last oratorical contest. The rest of the money went to Hueston for salary, $3,083.32; for incidental expenses, $379.62, and for his clerk, $1,100. No itemized account of oratorical contest expenses was given. The minutes show a check of $1,000 drawn to J. Finley Wilson for prizes and a $350 check drawn to Hueston for expenses. Expenses of the contest in 1927 in Washington were only $200. Both national contests were fiascos, Brusseaux charges. The one in Washington ended in a charge being made by the guardian of the second prize winner from Norfolk, Va., that the young man was short-changed $100 in his prize money. The contest in Chicago last year ended in a near riot when the judges were charged with robbery, the audience claiming that the prize was taken from the real winner because she was dark and was instead given to a fair girl of no great ability. A prolific writer is Hueston, Brusseaux charges. He claims that the Elk commissioner writes only generalities in his reports. He suggests that Hueston clear up the situation by informing the Elks in regard to the cost of operation of his office and the justification of the tax of $15,000 yearly for keeping up that department. "The Elks are entitled to know," says Mr. Brusseaux, "how much time Mr. Hueston devotes to his duties as education commissioner at $3,000 a year in comparison to the time given his magisterial and legal duties. They are also entitled to know how much work Miss Ella Mae Ross, his clerk who is paid annually $1,200 by the order, does exclusively for the Elks and how much time she spends on Mr. Hueston's personal and legal stenographic work. "Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson is directly responsible. The bureau of education is one of his schemes adopted by the grand lodge. Mr. Hueston is his creature. It was he who has sponsored salary raises and clerk hire for Mr. Hueston." Armond W. Scott of Washington, D.C., past grand exalted ruler of the order, is opposing Hueston for commissioner of education. ALDERMAN BURRUS CALLED TO SOUTH BEND William E. Burrus, alderman of the Third ward, was called to South Bend Tuesday ytio confer with the U. S. district attorney located there. On his return to Gary, Mr. Burrus refused to divulge the nature of the conference.

Miss Thyra Edwards gave a most helpful and inspirational talk on "Relation of Mother and Daughter," while Miss Hazel McAdam of the Y. W. C.

Mrs. Andrew Ludberg, who is the president of the Friendship House guild, was also a guest of honor and gave greetings from the guild. Miss Frances Harms, superintendent of Friendship house, bespoke a cordial welcome from Friendship house. The girl reserves entertained with several vocal numbers and poems honoring their mothers, and pep and club songs interspersed the program.

Funeral services were held at Israel C. M. E. church, Rev. Bailey officiating. As nearl yas could be determined, the little fellow was poisoned by something he had eaten and succumbed after a brief illness. Many children attended the service and acted as pall-bearers. Eugene was the only child of his parents, which fact makes theirs a double loss. Charles King Makes Personal Appearance Charles King, sensational musical comedy celebrity and star of "The Broadway Melody," makes a personal appearance on the stage of the Chicago theater, Chicago, for one week, starting Friday, May 17. He will be the center of a glamorous stage show, "The Broadway Melody Revue," produced around his magnetic personality, in which he will sing the hamitating melodies that made him famous. Featured among them are "You Were Meant for Me," a tune that is now ringing around the country; and "The Broadway Melody." The Chicago theater orchestra and Dancing Ensemble have prepared a superb arrangement of "The Wedding of the Painted Dolls." "The Man I Love," the most humanly appealing story of young love ever brought to the screen, comes to the Chicago theater in all-talking form next week. This Paramount vehicle boasts one of the most noted cast of stars ever combined in one film. Baclanova, gorgeously exotic screen vampire; Richard Arlen, as the hard-boiled lover; Mary Brian, "the darling of the screen"; Jackie Oakie, talkative song and dance man of vaudeville; and Harry Green, popular comedian, are featured in this all-talking production. "The Man I Love" combines all the beauty and heart-appeal of "The eShoown Angel," the youthful charm of "Close Harmony," the heart-tugging drama of "Weary River." It is a story of youth at its gayest and saddest, its heart-breaks—its heart aches, dreams and ambitions.

SHOVER Open All Night These ran out at 5 o'clock and at fifteen minutes before six, 50 were sent out. All of these were voted in 15 minutes—a physical impossibility, according to experts. Ballots were sent also to the 29th precinct as speedily as they were asked for. But in the Third ward the 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th and 35th precincts had to go ballottles when those sent out before the vote started were all used up. The same thing is true of Fourth and Fifth ward precincts. But although City Clerk Dwyer was asked to send out ballots, he refused to do so. Repeated entreaties over the telephone brought no response. As a result, it is believed that R. O. Johnson lost probably 1,000 south side votes. It is believed that Dwyer's connection with the city administration caused this action. Dwyer, who will be one of the few relics of the present city government when the new officials take office next January and who ran unopposed in the primary elections, is accused of using his office to further the Williams interests on the south side. Almost certain—as were other politicians—that Johnson would get the Negro vote, it is claimed that he attempted to "do his bit" for the mayor by fixing it so that Johnson's total would be considerable less than he might otherwise get. He could accomplish this by keeping the ballots away from the polling places where the Negro vote was strong. Although such strategy failed to make any material difference in the mayoralty race, south side voters are incensed because of the action.

They have just found out that the 29th and 30th precincts, the only precincts in the three wards with a majority of white voters, were the recipients of additional ballots when it was learned that those originally sent out were all used up. According to the law, each precinct is given enough republican ballots to equal just exactly one and one-half the number of republican votes cast in the general elections. In the 30th precinct, there were 143 republican votes cast last fall. Accordingly, they were given 222 ballots to be used in the primary election. Out At 10:30 At 10:30 that morning, all had been used up. A call to John Dwyer resulted in 100 more being sent out at 11 o'clock. These were speedily used up and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon 99 more were brought to the polling place.

MAY 17. 1929 "The Desert Song" Coming To McVickers "The Desert Song," the Sigmund Romberg operetta that broke every existing record as a musical show in Chicago, has been filmed at last, and will be presented at the McVickers theater, Chicago, for an unlimited engagement starting Friday, May 17. "The Desert Song" is the first musical play ever transferred to the screen in its entirety, having been produced in all its glory, with a singing chorus of one hundred voices. It is a Warner Bros. Vitaphone picture in which every word is spoken and every action heard. The screen version of this operetta, in the magnificence and breadth of its production, outdoes anything that could be attempted on the stage. The largest stage in any theater in existence would not be large enough to accommodate the great settings used in "The Desert Song," and in addition the film includes scenes in a rocky pass in the mountains and endless vistas of the sandy wastes of the Moroccan Desert. The exceptional all-star cast includes John Boles, as the Red Shadow; Carlotta King, as Margot; Louis Fazenda, Johnny Arthur, John Miljan and Edward Martindell, and one of the finest singing choruses ever assembled for any stage or screen extravaganza.

Justice William C. Hueston, once called "my friend Bill" by Sheridan A. Brusseaux, the big professional Chicago detective who is probably the uncrowned king of the Negro nosies, has undoubtedly found out that a friend for pay this year may be an enemy for pay a few days later. We refer specifically to the rift in the relationship between Hueston and Brusseaux since the alleged charges of bountiful graft in the Elks during the regime of J. Finley Wilson and party have been aired. It was in 1927 that there was apparent friendship between Hueston and Brusseaux. The detective was brought out here by the justice to investigate conditions surrounding the Emmerson school strike—mainly to cover up, it seems, the indiscretions of Mayor Floyd Williams, friend of Hueston, during the difficulty by finding out who really started segregated schools in Gary anyway. It was during this time that Brusseaux referred to the high Elk dignitary as "my friend Bill." But that was two years ago. Brusseaux, a few weeks ago, opened fire on Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. Hueston rushed to his leader's defense inasmuch as he was allegedly in on a big share of the graft as commissioner of education. He attacked Brusseaux. And now the detective has countered, showing to just what extent Hueston has shared in last year's financial manipulations, and charging that both Elk national oratorical contests, under the direction of the local justice, have been grand and glorious fiascos.

That body has fought relegation, discrimination, disfranchisement, and to harm the race as a whole in America. The Although the annual N. A. A. C. P, membership drive sponsored in Gary by the local branch of the organization will be completed within a very few weeks, and although there have been some new members taken in, we believe that the association, as a whole, is not being taken as seriously by the Negro in Gary as it should be. To enumerate the list of achievements of the whole organization would require considerable space. That body has fought bitterly against segregation, discrimination, disfranchisement, and anything calculated to harm the race as a whole in America. The story of their fights and achievements during 1928 is contained in a book let recently released from New York City, the national headquarters of the organization. In Gary, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is remembered—and condemned—for its part in the Emmerson school strike and fight of two years ago. The case is now pending before the state supreme court. The national office contributed $975 in this case. We admit that the local branch did not act so wisely as it might have done in the school case. But it accomplished its purpose. The Virginia street school is no more, several Negroes are attending Emmerson, and equal high school facilities are being provided. The local branch is at present under a staff of competent officials who undoubtedly would be able to take care of themselves to the satisfaction of every one should another crisis arise. And one might come up any day, as happened in 1927. It pays for a Negro community to have in its midst a strong organization willing to do legal battle when constitutional rights are invalidated. Only by being prepared can we resist sudden assaults upon group welfare. And to have bulwarks of sufficient strength we must strengthen them and keep them in constant repair by our financial and moral support. And so we urge the citizens of Gary to join the N. A. A. C. P. if they have not already done so. It is a worthwhile organization and merits racial support.

C.—Continuing his fight to do away with the evil of lynching by drastic congressional action, Rep. Leonidas Dyer of Missouri re-introduced his famous bill here last week to assure all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States of equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching. According to the bill, a mob is three or more persons acting in concert without authority of law to do a person physical injury. State or municipal officers, if found guilty of failure to protect prisoners in their charge, would be liable under the bill to $5000 fine or five years' imprisonment. Such officers, if they aided the mob, could be punished by imprisonment for life or not less than five years. The U. S. district courts would have jurisdiction under the law wherever a state court appeared negligent in punishing members of mobs, where jurors in state courts are sympathetic or where the mob members are still at liberty thirty days after the crime.

THE GARY AMERICAN Any county in which a lynching occurs shall forfeit $10,000 to the United States for the use of the family, if any, of the persons lynched. Where two or more counties are involved they are held jointly and severally liable for the $10,000 forfeiture. Foreigners lynched by U. S. mobs would also be protected by the Dyer bill if it is enacted. The bill is the same as that introduced by Rep. Dyer and Senator McKinley in Congress in 1925. The Senate rejected it in May, 1926. The first Dyer bill passed the House in 1922 and has been reintroduced by Mr. Dyer in each succeeding Congress. In April, 1926, and 1928, Rep. Victor Berger (Socialist, Wis.), introduce virtually the same anti-lynching bill which the House has ignored. Mr. Berger's bill set the fine for negligent state or city officials at $10,000 and imprisonment at ten years.

Burns failed to pass the mental examination and Whitfield was disqualified because he is too old. Charles Weir, Whitfield's alternate, has passed mentally and will enter the academy if he qualifies physically. Only a physical examination stands in the way of Alonzo Parham, the only West Point appointee, as he has passed the mental requirements.
