Decide Burrus Case Next September VOLUME II. NUMBER THIRTY-THREE GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY 8TH AVE JEFFERSON "To Break the Bonds" Trade with stores which employ colored help. Ask your merchant why he does not employ colored clerks in his store. BURRUS PROTEST SUIT CONTINUED TO EARLY FALL BURRUS PROTEST SUIT CONTINUED TO EARLY FALL Judge Pattee Says That Long Necessary To Get Ready For Trial It will be after Sept. 16 before William E. Burrus, Third ward alderman defeated for renomination in the primary elections last spring, will learn positively if his name will go on the republican ballot in the fall elections. His case has been continued to that time by Special Court Judge Frank B. Pattee. Mr. Burrus, who lost the nomination by 24 votes according to the official count, gained eight votes in a recount, cutting down the lead of Michael Yesh, white, winner of the nomination, to 16 votes. His suit filed has to do with the validity of certain votes cast for Yesh which he claims were illegal. The present battle has been nothing more than a fight between lawyers on both sides on technical points. Last Friday Mr. Burrus, through Frank N. Gavit, his attorney, scored a point when the court sustained a demurrer filed by Mr. Gavit against a plea of abatement filed by Mr. Yesh through James Moneff, his lawyer. This plea asked that the suit be thrown out as it was being tried during this term of court when it should come to trial during the next term. The Yesh side won a point at the same hearing when the court sustained a motion asking that certain parts of the Burrus complaint be stricken out. Mr. Yesh's attorney has tried in vain to have the suit against his client dismissed. Attorney Moneff claims that the suit is illegal because in the first allegation of the motion it is charged that the contestor in his complaint failed to state the grounds for the suit. In the second allegation it is claimed by Moneff that the Burrus attorney failed to submit to the defendant a copy of the complaint as is required by law. The continuance to September was decided on after Attorney Gavit had obtained permission to amend his complaint. Judge Pattee, in continuing the case pointed out that it would require considerable time to revise the complaint and that in his opinion lawyers for the two men would need considerable time in which to prepare their case for final trial.

The Gary I American SEVEN EAST 19th AVENUE PHONE 2-4660 The Gary American 1 Believe it or not, but the rumor is going around that Miss Hilda Pearlena a Harlem beauty, was the inspiration for the song hit where the youth ballads "I want to be in love, especially with you." But who wouldn't? Our Town By LOUISA WHITTED Prominent Physician Guest Here Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Braddock and mother, 2524 Jefferson street, entertained with a dinner party Sunday. June 16, honoring Dr. and Mrs. Numa P. G. Adams and son Charles of Chicago. Other dinner guests were Dr. S. R. Blackwell, Miss Thelma Nixon and Marcus Anderson of Columbus, Ohio. Attorney and Mrs. Fritz Alexander, who were acquainted with the Adams family in Washington, were after-dinner guests. Mrs. Braddock and Mrs. Adams are friends of long standing, having served as national officers of the Delta Sigma Thete Sorority. Dr. and Mrs. Adams are leaving in July for Washington, D. C., where Dr. Adams will enter upon his new duties as Dean of the Medical college at Howard University, a position never before held by a colored man. They have made many friends in the West who are loath to lose them, while congratulating them upon their success. Club To Give Annual Picnic After a real effort on the part of the committee in charge of location, plans have been finally settled for the annual picnic of the Gary Noonday Business club, July 4. The place chosen is known as Camp Bercado, a choice spot on the St. Jo river, located between Mishiwaka and Elkhart, and reached by way of Dunes highway through South Bend. All who plan to join this party on its picnic will meet on the morning of the Fourth at 7:00 o'clock sharp, at the Stewart House, 15th avenue and Massachusetts street, from which point the party will be guided to the camp. Graduates Honored By Club Women Graduates from the Gary High school were guests of the City Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Stewart house, Wednesday evening, at a reception in their honor. The reception took the form of a program, followed by a social hour. Mrs. Margie Woodfolk had charge of the program; Mrs. West welcomed the graduates on behalf of the Federation; Mrs. Daisy Garnett, president of the Federation, gave an encouraging talk; Rev. F. S. Delaney made some very timely remarks, while the main address was delivered by Prof. H. Theo Tatum. After the program refreshments were served below in the lobby. Friendship House Wins Cup From 10 A. M. to 4:30 P. M. last Saturday, the Girl Reserves numbering 77 and representing groups from various settlement houses, participated in a track meet at City park, Miller Beach. Girl Reserves of Friendship house, under the leadership of Miss Lydia Jetton, easily outstripped their competitors, winning first place in six events out of nine, and second in the other three, closing with an average of 51 points to their credit. The next highest score was 35 points. Neighborhood house won first place GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1929 in the baseball game. Mrs. Jones, wife of the superintendent of that centre, had charge of activities there, with 25 girls under her direction. Brooks house of Indiana Harbor, was represented by 20 girls. Stewart house of Gary was not represented. Of the 35 girls from Friendship house, 21 were colored and 14 white. The record which won for them the silver loving cup, was as follows: Fifty yd, dash, first place; skinny snake relay, second pl.; overhead relay, second pl.; long distance ball throwing, first, second and third pl.; play ground ball throwing, first, second and third pl.; baseball, second pl.; tug of war, first pl.; Eskimo relay, first pl.; wheel relay, first pl. Special mention is made of little Flossie Brown, Ella Mae Torrence and Margret Ignatu, the former starring in the 50-yd. dash and broad jump and the two after in the long distance throws, while all the girls did good work. The silver loving cup was presented by the Federation of Settlements. The centers are indebted to the following for furnishing cars for transportation of the girls: W. W. Cook, with his car, Mr. Gustafson from City church who was responsible for two cars, and two other friends whose names were not learned. Boya To Go To Camp Wabash Through the courtesy of the Wabash Avenue department Y. M. C.

The camp fee will be $12.00 for the entire period, including a round trip from Chicago to Benton Harbor, Mich. An extra fee will be charged Gary boys for transportation from Gary to Chicago and return,—approximately $1.00. Every boys' parents should be interested in this proposition. Last year 235 boys, representing 2679 campers' days, took advantage of the opportunities of the camp. Friday evening, June 28, there will be a lecture and moving pictures of the camp activities. Pictures will be shown at Friendship house at 7:00 p. m. sharp. Pictures will be shown also at the Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A., Neighborhood house and Stewart house. Promotes "Stunt" The Stewart House Recreational Association is promoting a "stunt" night for Saturday which promises to furnish plenty of amusement for those who attend. The program of the association will not, however, be confined to the evening. Activities will commence in the afternoon with a tennis tournament. There will be matches between Dr. Deroy Bingham and A Jackson, Clarence Walker and Mr Smith, F. S. Delaney and W. W. Cooke Also ladies' doubles and singles. An orchestra will furnish music in the evening, beginning promptly at 7:00 o'clock. Refreshments will be on hand. According to Mr. Cornelius Hutchin- (Continued on Page 2) Case Next September 'UNCLE TOM'S CABIN' BARRED NEGRO CITIZENS EARNING $40,000 HERE EACH DAY Spend 90 Per Cent With Local Merchants But Get Few Returns Although approximately $40,000 daily is earned by the 8,500 employed members of Gary's 20,000 residents of our race, and all but 10 per cent of that is spent practically as fast as it comes in the stores and places of business that share in this wealth make few returns to the race or show their appreciation by the hiring of our unemployed boys and girls. For example an average of: $12,000 daily is spent in the local grocery stores. $4,000 daily is spent on clothing. $2,000 daily is spent on amusement. $2,000 daily is spent on insurance. $4,000 daily is invested. The remaining $16,000 daily is spent on rent, medicine, incidentals benevolence and gambling. Not Half Employed There are approximately 11,500 men here and 5,800 women. Less than half that number is employed, and all but just a very few of them work in the mills. It is apparent, then, that there is considerable unemployment due to not enough jobs to go around and an over-supply of applicants for steel mill positions. One of the worst aspects of the whole situation is the fact that workers of our race are not employed where they should be. When $12,000 a day is spent mainly with the white grocers and butchers located on the south side (there being but few people of color in such enterprises), it is only fair for us to demand employment for our boys and girls as clerks in these stores. Many of the meat and grocery stores that employ no colored depend almost entirely on our race for their continued existence. Only One Clerk The clothing stores that extract $4,000 daily from our pockets—often for shoddy and inferior merchandise—should show appreciation for this trade by giving employment to members of our race. But The Venus Shoppe, located at 1732 Broadway, is the only store of this type in town that has a Negro clerk. Gollin's department store, located at 1638 Broadway, the biggest institution of its kind on the south side, has six clerks to sell to you when you go in there and none is a Negro. The Metropolitan Insurance company collects most of the $2,000 spent daily on insurance. It has $900,000,000 worth of insurance on members of our race in the United States and it does not employ a single Negro agent in Gary or anywhere else. Banks Get Much Most of the $4,000 invested daily is placed in either savings or checking accounts in local banks.

BOTH WANTED JOHNNY: NOW ONE GIRL IS DEAD Slays Room-mate To End Love Triangle In Cafe At Indiana Harbor Hilda Crawford loved Johnny Jones. So did Louise Swain. And now Hilda, just 29, is dead. Louise is in jail. Saturday night is always a big night at Ham's Place, located at 3528 Parrish avenue in Indiana Harbor. Men and women of both races come there after the week's work has ended to forget their cares in an atmosphere of blues and whiskey. On such nights the place is always crowded. Hilda was an entertainer. Those who came to Ham's Place liked the way she crooned the blues. And they all knew that her voice was never more caressing than when she sang the song near Johnny. Louis Swain was also an entertainer. Everybody liked the way she sang and danced. And they likewise knew that the sweetest notes and hottest steps were executed mainly with an eye to pleasing Johnny. Louise and Hilda lived together in one of the rooms above the resort. Although both wanted the same man, neither gave many alarming symptoms of jealousy. Murder never crossed the mind of either. They trusted one another enough to continue to sleep together. Then last Saturday night it happened. Hilda was singing. Her eyes were a-light and her whole body vibrated to the thrill of her own voice as she warbled: "He's mine, all mine." Ever Johnny, so near that he could have stroked her brown arms, felt moved (Continued on Page 4) PRICE THREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE.

It had been exhibited but one day on the Roosevelt screen. According to the owner of the show, Nick Bikos, south side citizens who had viewed the motion picture during its run of a day declared that it was insulting and demanded that it be withdrawn. The theater management, realizing that the bulk of their business came from people of color, complied with the request. As a result, "Lights Of New York," an all talking picture, was rushed here to be shown Thursday and fill out the remaining three days that the original attraction was booked to run. Called Unusual This demand for the withdrawal of the picture by Negro citizens of a community is considered to be very unusual. Attempts to show the picture in southern communities have called for special meetings on the part of Caucasian citizens there and official action by the city to bar its showing. Southern whites have claimed that it did not show the south "in its true light." While the whites have raved against it in other cities, the Negro citizens have strongly advocated its showing and attending it. James B. Lowe, an internationally famous Negro actor, plays the title role. Since the picture has been made his fame has become so great he has appeared in person in European capitals as an added attraction. Slave Part Objectionable The local objection came mostly from the showing of scenes depicting slavery in the south in its most brutal form and the selling of slaves from the auction block. Since the question of slavery was settled more than 60 years ago, the local citizens say by their actions: "Why bring that up again?" "Uncle Tom's Cabin," written by Harriet Beecher Stowe toward the middle of the 19th century, was one of the ablest and most forceful pieces of propaganda used by the abolitionists in their fight against human bondage. Stock companies, before and after the Civil War, toured all parts of the north, playing before packed houses at each performance. Elisa crossing the ice, the famous bloodhounds, Simon Legrée's cruelty, and Topsy's fatalism have inspired thousands of jokes and numerous parodies. Makes Apology Mr. Bikos has issued an apology for bringing the picture so offensive to south side citizens to his theater. "Had I known that it would meet with the disapproval of any of our patrons, I would never have booked it," he declared Thursday afternoon. "It is our policy to play fair and square to all and offend no one." SNATCHES POCKETBOOK An unknown man snatched the pocketbook of Mrs. J.

Williams, pastor of Grace Presbyterian church located at 2273 Washington street, has tendered his resignation to the board of his church. He preaches his farewell sermon Sunday and next Wednesday he plans to leave for Omaha, Neb., where he has accepted the pastorate of Hillside Presbyterian church of that city. For more than a year, Rev. Williams has pastored the local church. Due to his ability as a leader and as a director of musical activities, he leaves the local charge in an advanced position. Just 32 years old, Rev. Williams is already looked upon by the ministry as an able and capable pastor. His preparation was made at Stillman institute, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Y. M. C. A. college, Chicago, and McCormick Theological seminary in Chicago. Hillside church in Omaha is much larger than the local charge. Its auditorium seats 500 comfortably. It has also a pipe organ and Sunday school and reception rooms in the church basement. A two story brick house is at the disposal of the pastor.

Final tests of the new system were made on Wednesday night. Finishing touches on the new apparatus were being made today. The new equipment has been subjected to the most severe abuse it would ever receive under the most abnormal conditions when traffic is unusually heavy or weather conditions very severe. Don't forget—after midnight Saturday you'll have to blame yourself or the telephone company in general if you get the wrong number. that, while he regrets to leave the many sincere friends he has made during his year's residence in Gary, he believes that the new field will give him greater opportunity.

This vehicle, which presents Victor McLaglen in the role of a Scottish Highlander, has the great war as a background. Interwoven with the massed troops and the shrill chords of the multi-toned bagpipe, is a beautiful story, yet gripping in its realism. The major part of this film has India for a locale. Myra Loy, playing the exotic "Yasmani," is well on her way to stardom. Prior to her present role the most outstanding character she has delineated was that of the gypsy girl "Nubi" in the all-talking sensation, "The Squail." Others in "The Black Watch" are David Rollins, Roy D'Arcy, Mitchell Lewis, Cyril Chadwick and many other talking favorites.

GRAY BIG HIT IN RECITAL HERE AT GRACE Fair-Sized Audience Hears Famous Soprano Sing At Presbyterian Church BY SARAH TAFT SIMMS Mme. Odell Stone-Gray's recital, first scheduled to be held in Grace Presbyterian church a week ago last night, was given Tuesday night to an audience of moderate size that made up in appreciation of the singer's talents what they lacked in numbers. The date of the recital was changed last week following an article appearing in a local paper announcing that seats would be reserved in the south side of the church for white music-lovers who cared to go. Mme. Gray has an unusually pleasing coloraturo soprano voice. She justly deserves the recognition and praise accorded her wherever she has given a recital. Grace church is to be commended for having brought such talent to Gary, whether the bulk of the local citizens appreciated it or not. Particularly impressive was the artist's interpretation of "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark." Clarence Porter, her accompanist, pleased all with his sensitive piano playing. Quite well liked were the three songs from the cycle. VISIT OUR STORE ON THE SOUTH SIDE For your convenience we have opened a South Side store at 1905 Broadway.
