Murrell finished Ohio State university last fall, and his determination to go abroad and study won him a scholarship, at the University of Berlin, where he is now studying. NEGRO STILL A SLAVE:BARNET NEGRO STILL A SLAVE:BARNET Must Free Himself From Distrust in Self, Although the American Negro has gained freedom from the bonds of physical slavery, he has not yet gained freedom from mental slavery, declared Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, nationally known club woman of Chicago, in making the principal address Tuesday evening at Gary's celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation in the Rex theatre, 2175 Broadway. Lincoln's proclamation freeing the slaves gave freedom from forced labor only, the speaker declared. The larger freedom is yet to be realized, she said. "I am here tonight to discuss the question of just how much we are free." Mrs. Barnett told her hearers. "While we have made much individual progress, we have made very little group progress. We have not learned to combine our forces to get what we want. "We are not free as long as we hold on to the servile idea that anything that a white man does is better than what a Negro does," she declared in deploring the attitude of colored people in believing that white lawyers or doctors can do more than colored men in the same profession." Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, hired a white lawyer several years ago when he was arrested on a serious charge." Mrs. Barnett said, but Johnson was sentenced to serve a jail sentence just the same, although the white attorney received $20,000 as his fee. "No Negro lawyer could have done any worse," the speaker inferred. R. O. Johnson, Republican nominee for mayor, who was also scheduled to speak, declined to make an address to the assemblage of 200 persons in order to give the principal speaker an opportunity to talk to the gathering. Candidates for City council, including Wilbur Hardaway, Louis Christopher and E. M. Garich, were introduced at the close of the meeting, which was presided over by Mrs. John Russell. The meeting was sponsored by the Woman's Civic club of the Fourth ward.

This is because contestants will be given the right to give two coupon books with every yearly subscription during this period instead of one. The coupon books contain $1.50 worth of coupons which are good in trade at seventeen, different Gary stores. By subscribing to the newspaper, every person may secure two of these books, or, in other words, receive $4.50 worth in value in return for $1.50 as each coupon book is just as good as receiving $1.50 in cash. The standing of the contestants will be published in new week's issue of The American. --- EIGHT CHILDREN PERISH IN FIRE IN ORPHANAGE Girl Says She Started the Fre Because f Wy She Was Teated MEMPHIS.—A special session of the Shelby County Grand Jury will convene here today to consider charges resulting from the fire in the Negro Industrial Settlement Home September 1 which cost the lives of eight children, seventy-two others narrowly escaping. Rosebud Ankton, 15, faces eight charges of murder and one of arson, following her admission September 3 that she fired the home because she was treated cruelly. "I didn't want to see the children beaten any more," Rosebud insisted repeatedly when questioned as to her motive. She has admitted she twice previously set fire to orphanages at Okolona, Miss., that cost the institutions thousands of dollars. She had not been connected with the Okolona fires until her arrest for the Settlement Home blaze. Bessie Simons, matron of the Home, who had worked fourteen years in its upbuilding, has been accused of brutality toward her charges. This will provide one phase of the grand jury's investigation, according to W. Tyler McLain, Attorney General. Miss Simons denies, however, that the children were forced to stand in hot ashes or sit on heated stoves. Examination by Memphis physicians revealed that many of the eight-eight children were suffering from anchylosis, a condition of the fingers and other joints caused by blows or maltreatment which renters them stiff. Many of them bore lacerations and wells across their backs, caused by a heavy strap or boards, while other marks on the children's heads or bodies indicated kicking. Some of the girls charged they were stripped and beaten and Miss Simons admitted having beaten them and then turned them over to her assistant to continue the punishment. Negroes of Memphis, however, have risen to Miss Simon's defense, contending she has performed a worthy service in solving the child problem. At a mass meeting Saturday resolutions of confidence in her work were adopted, concluding with the statement that "we indorse her activities and recommend her as a capable and effective person to continue the work she has done in an effort to help the people of this our city." "The inmates of the Home are being held at an orphanage here and will be placed elsewhere as soon as W. C. Headrick of Nashville State Welfare, Commissioner, concludes his investigation. Mr. Headrick has revoked the Settlement Home's commission. Illinois Is Third In Highway Building Illinois, with 566.8 miles, ranked third among the states with respect to the mileage of federal aid highways, construction under way as of July 31, according to a recent announcement by the federal bureau of public roads and reported by the Chicago Motor Club. Of the balance of federal aid funds available for new projects, the third largest amount, $2,606.225, was available to Illinois. The total mileage of federal aid highways completed as of July 31 was 78,523.3, according to the motor club. The mileage under construction at that time was 9,926.1, which, it was estimated, will cost a total of $248,071.331, of which sum the federal government will furnish an allotment of $100,230.149. Federal aid highways approved for construction on July 31 totalled 2,625 miles, at a total estimated cost of $57,056.708, of which the federal allotment is $22,242.167. With the first vote period over, the Gary American's big subscription contest is getting down to a fast clip according to reports made to the office of the newspaper by contestants shortly before press time today. Determined to make an excellent showing in the race, 40 contestants were working hard today to secure as many subscriptions as possible in order to be awarded the first prize offered, a Chevrolet six cylinder automobile. During the second vote period, contestants will receive 20,000 votes for each yearly subscription secured. In the first period, 25,000 votes were awarded for each one year subscription.

ST POLICE ARREST 242 S. S. STORE TO HIRE CLERK MC MITCHELL OPENS CLINIC AFTER RESTING MC MITCHELL OPENS CLINIC AFTER RESTING Founder of Sanitarium Here Resumes Work, Starts New Clinic Fifteen years ago, a young man who had finished school in some of the leading colleges of the country, came to Gary and looked around and decided to make his home and fortune here. He came well prepared to follow his profession as a physician and surgeon. He had diplomas from three colleges and had done postgraduate work at the same number of medical schools. Confident in himself and optimistic over the prospects for the future, he immediately set to work to make his niche in the community by serving it to the best of his ability and by rendering his talents in its uplift and progress. Built St. John's Here Unaided and with only his wife and a few friends to encourage him, he worked out plans for founding a hospital here and after surmounting difficulties of every sort, he managed to see his dreams realized when a sanitarium, patterned after his own ideas, was built and named in honor of him. The building was constructed at a cost of $50,000 and stands today as a monument to its founder and as a testimonial to his vision, ambition and perseverance. This man is none other than Dr. Fred G. McMitchell, founder of the McMitchell sanitarium, now known as St. John's hospital, at Twenty-second and Massachusetts streets. Dr. Mitchell has just opened a clinic and sanitarium at Twenty-second and Broadway and plans to develop a modern hospital out of his enterprise. He has just emerged from a period of rest and retirement which he sought following the death of his wife over a year ago. The attendant grief he suffered after her death forced him to give up St. John's hospital, now being operated by Dr. R. M. Hedrick, but now, his strength regained and his nerves quieted. Dr. McMitchell announced today that he has resumed his work. In his new sanitarium, he is assisted by two nurses and four local physicians who have been made members of the hospital staff. A system similar to the one used in the famous Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn. will be used in the McMitchell clinic here. Twelve rooms comprise the hospital which also is equipped with one of the most modern operating rooms in any clinic in this state, and plans are being made to perform the first operation Sunday. Dr. McMitchell received his scholastic training at Tuskegee institute and Atlanta university. He received his medical education at Howard university, Washington, Meharry Medical college, Nashville, and at Rush Medical college, Chicago. During the administration of Former Mayor R. O. Johnson, he was appointed a member of the City Board of Health and was physician for a number of lodges and insurance companies. He is a member of the American Medical association, the Gary Medical association and has been practicing medicine for twenty years. Early Fall Freezing For the benefit of motorists who at this time of the year keep a watchful eye on the thermometer, the Chicago Motor club reports that the earliest fall freezing temperature in the history of the Chicago weather-bureau was recorded on September 30, 1899. That instanc, according to federal forecasters, is the only time that the mercury has dropped to 32 degrees in September in the last 59 years. The average period of the year when freezing temperatures arrive in the Chicago area is from October 15 to 20, say the weather prognosticators.

New South Side Store to Employ a Colored Clerk SUMMON EDITOR TO GARY COURT Hospital Files Suit As Result of Story in Gary Commanding the editor of the newspaper to appear in court, a summons was issued to The Gary American Publishing company today upon complaint of the St. Antonio hospital. According to the writ, which was served upon the newspaper by Deputy Sheriff Luther Moore, representatives of The American are commanded to appear in Gary Superior court on October 9 to make an answer to the hospital's complaint. The case is the outgrowth of an article published in The American several weeks ago concerning an accident in which James Hicks, of 1624 Massachusetts street, was seriously injured. In the article, the newspaper quoted one Mrs. Beatrice Brooks, aunt of the injured man, as saving that her nephew was neglected at the sanitarium. The facts stated were based entirely upon the story told by Mrs. Brooks. American rine Beard, friends in Washington, that she is one of the most popular prominent in the collegiate circles of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Girl to Hold Position in Grocery When It Opens Its Door Girl to Hold Position in Grocery When It Opens Its Door Another victory was seen today in The Gary American's right to get merchants on the South Side to employ Negroes as clerks with the announcement of the National Packing company, 2155 Broadway, that they will employ a colored girl as a clerk when the store opens next week. Decision of the store to give a clerical position to a Negro girl was made by the management at the suggestion of John W. Russell, Gary real estate man, who has heartily endorsed the stand taken by The American. Since the American began its series of articles urging merchants on the South Side who receive most of their business from colored people to give work to their boys and girls, city-wide interest has been shown in the outcome. While it is conceded that it will require time to accomplish the results desired and secure places for more members of the race in clerical and executive positions in South Side stores, the newspaper's crusade is being hailed on all sides as "one of the greatest things ever started in Gary." The National Packing company is a new store. It will be operated --- --- LAWLESSNESS KEEPS COP ON GO, IS REPORT Nineteen Arrests Are Made For Gambling; 6 Held For Assault Acts Two hundred and forty-two Gary colored men and women, charged with various infractions of the law, were arrested by local police during the past month, according to a report given The Gary American late today by the police department. Out of a total of 651 persons nabbed by police during the month, more than one-third of the number were Negroes whose lawless activity from month to month has not ceased or lessened in any manner or degree, according to the report issued today. The usual amount of violence, involving assault to kill and assault and battery, was in evidence during the month, although no murder was recorded. Out of a total of thirteen persons held for assault and battery, six were colored. Three others were also held for assault to kill, two were charged with carrying concealed weapons and three others were arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, the report states. Gambling is Unabated The colored man's persistence in courting Lady Luck was also in evidence during the month, as out of a total of nineteen arrests for gambling all were Negroes. The tabulated report, given to The American by James Cothery, head of the Bureau of Identification, is as follows: Assault and battery . . . 6 Assault to kill . . . 3 Concealed weapons . . . 2 Drunkenness . . . 18 Assault with weapon . . . 3 Gambling . . . 19 Prostitution . . . 5 Disorderly conduct . . . 5 Reckless driving . . . 2 Liquor violation . . . 20 Maintaining nuisance . . . 7 Auto license . . . 1 Auto plate . . . 2 by men who have had 25 years experience in operating in Chicago. "We will give the people of the South Side the very best treatment possible," declared managers of the store today, "and our decision to employ a colored girl as a clerk was made to show that we appreciate the patronage of our friends on the South Side. We will offer the very highest quality in meats, fruits, vegetables and groceries," the manager concluded. Diphtheria prevalence started 1929 at a ten per cent drop below the opening of 1928 but the half year closed at a figure 11 per cent higher. More specifically, the first six months of 1929 yielded 4,185 cases against 3,742 in the corresponding period of last year. This disease appears to be travelling on an upward curve of an epidemic cycle. Fall is the worst season for diphtheria and the outlook for autumn this year is not promising. Banker to Address Gary Noonday Club The second of a series of talks on business will be heard by members of the Gary Noonday Business club at the regular bi-monthly meeting Wednesday at twelve o'clock at Stewart Settlement house, according to an announcement made today.

Send your name and address with you question to "Kurious Katie," The Gary American, Gary." Anybody may send in a question. For this week's question, Mrs. Walter Gary, 1901 Broadway, wins the award and gets two theatre tickets. THE QUESTION "Do you prefer short dresses to long dresses?" THE ANSWERS Earl Hyman, school teacher, 1721 Virginia: I prefer short dresses because they are neater and more attractive than the long ones. Miss Hazel Stacker, office girl, 1901 Broadway: I prefer short dresses, of course. I think long dresses make one look too old or either too slim, and short dresses are more attractive. Atty. Adelbert S. Moore, lawyer, 1901 Broadway: I prefer short dresses because they are more sanitary, and make the health of women better, and they abolish false modesty. Dr. S. R. Blackwell, physician, 1921 Massachusetts: I prefer medium dresses at all times. I think they are sanitary, and have a very nice appearance and are economical and modest. Atty. M. C. Murray, attorney at law, 1901 Broadway: Either one to satisfy the ladies. 'Legs of Nations' Is Offering at McVicker's the League of Nations has for its objective world peace! In "The Cock Eyed World," now playing at McVickers theater, the "Legs o' Nations" cause more real fighting than a half dozen revolutions. Meaning that Edmund Lowe and Victor McLargen of "What Price Glory" fame are still fighting—over pretty girls—though the war is more than ten years old. They are still in the Marines and are seeing the world visiting Russia, Nicaragua and other countries, including America, and always intrigued by a pair of shapely limbs. New York.—Prejudices of visiting Americans have been the cause of the barring of Negroes in London hotels, according to a report sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by the East and West news service. The report states that one place where every worthy man and woman of whatever race, creed or color is welcome, in London, is the International Guest House at "Hitherwood," on Sydenham Hill. Another such cosmopolitan place is the Students club at the Student Movement house, in Russell square. IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS CULLEN AGREES TO LET YOLAND OBTAINDIVORCE "If Any Divorce is Gotten I Will Get It," Says Wife of Poet BALTIMORE.—I think Mr. Cullen is a very nice man. He will always be considered one of the best friends I ever had. I hope he will always remain so." Thus spoke Mrs. Nina Yolande Du Boffs Cullen, wife of Countee Cullen, the poet, bride of a year, who returned to Baltimore recently to resume her duties as a teacher in the Booker Washington junior high school, after a year with her husband in Paris. Mr. Cullen still remains abroad, studying and writing, on a Guggenheim fellowship. Asked how she spent last year, Mrs. Cullen said: "I matriculated in the Latin quarter of Paris near the Sorbonne, under a private teacher, Madam Morin, because I did not like the classes in the University of Paris. They were too big, and were full of white Americans. "I felt I could get more out of my studies in art and French under a private teacher." Lived Together Asked if she and her husband lived in separate hotels as reported last March in dispatches from France, printed in U. S. A. newspapers, Mrs. Cullen said that she and her husband lived together in a hotel until her mother came to visit her in January. Then she moved to a hotel near his with her mother because she did not want to be housekeeping. "He kept up my expenses, of course, and did not object to my going." **Understanding on Divorce** Asked when Mr. Cullen will get the divorce he is said to have planned, Mrs. Cullen said: "He has not planned any divorce. If any divorce is gotten, I will get it. It is understood between us that he will permit me to get a divorce whenever I choose, and we are thinking of it but there is no particular reason for rushing it. "We have had no reasons, either, while abroad, to avoid each other, and we were together a number of times in restaurants and at social gatherings. "For myself, I went about very little, because I was taken ill and sent to the American hospital (Neuilly) in Paris and was there six months with a sickness caused by change of climate and water which often gets hold of Americans. "Mr. Cullen came down to visit me whenever he was in the city. I was glad to see him, too, because I didn't know a soul." **Who Is the Other Girl!** Asked who was the other American girl with whom Mr. Cullen was said to be in love, Mrs. Cullen said: "I do not know who the girl is. When we read about it in the press, we both laughed and I asked him who the lady was and he said, 'I don't know do you?' Marrige Pleasing to Parents Mrs. Cullen said she did not know what her husband meant by a "marriage of convenience" unless he felt that it was pleasing to the parents on both sides, rather than left to their own decision. Both Spoiled Discussing Cullen's reputed statement: that his wife was spoiled, the reporter asked: ```markdown ``` The answer was: "I guess we are both spoiled, each being an only child" **Went to England** Asked why her husband went to England, leaving her in Paris alone she said that he wanted to study. He had planned going to England for a long time, she said; but she had been in England before for a long time and she saw no need for the extra expense of going away again as her mother was with her at the time, so she remained in Paris. Still Wears Ring Asked if she had left off her wedding ring, in his absence, as reported in the press, Mrs. Cullen said: "I have never left off my wedding ring as yet." And she emphasized the "yet." She wore it at the time of the interview. With His Best Man Discussing the newspaper reports which made much of the fact that Mr. Cullen went to Paris on his honeymoon with his best man instead of his bridge, Mrs. Cullen said: "We were married in April, as you know, and Mr. Cullen did go right on to Paris with Harold Jackman, who was his best man. They went together because Mr. Jackman was going right at that time on his summer vacation and Mr. Cullen was going to begin his year's work. He wanted to travel around a while without being bothered. .

Bessie Love Stars In A peep into the private lives of Broadway's temperamental theatre stars awaits Chicago theatre patrons next week, starting Friday, August 23rd. "The Girl in the Show" is the title of this all-talking, singing, romantic opus of back-stage life, featuring the petite Bessie Love, star of "Broadway Melody," and Raymond Hackett of "Trial of Mary Dugan" fame. "The Girl in the Show" gives the secrets of dressing rooms back-stage, the jealousies, the comedies, the love affairs that go on behind the scenes—it's a more intimate love-document of theatre people than was "Broadway Melody." Whole scenes from a spectacular musical comedy are filmed for the delight of movie fans, every scene resplendent in beauty and melody. A huge cast of stars further adds to the desirability of "The Girl in the Show." To the Chicago theatre stage, next week, comes a swanky, smart revue of New York manners, "Fifth Avenue." Some of Broadway's loveliest girls, most famous singers and funniest comedians have been assembled for this gorgeous production of style, fashion and brilliance.

Traffic Fatalities Are Reduced to 20 Per Cent Traffic fatalities in Chicago during the first seven months of this year were reduced 20.4 per cent as compared with the same period last year. The deaths in that period this year totaled 387; the number killed in that period last year was 469. Those statistics were secured by the Chicago Motor club from the Chicago police department. Charles M. Hayes, president of the club, declared that he believed the drastic reduction to be the result of intensive safety education which has been in process for some time. "Such agencies as safety education in the schools; stories and editorials in the press; the school boys' safety patrol and the fact that the entire citizenry is realizing that one of the crying needs of the day HAS CHA e Has An Eq Chevrolet Coa ving Away in rolet Coach Fully Equipped Grantham Motor Co.

"Standing by themselves, the figures for this year are still shockingly high. It is only when we compare them with those of last year, and consider the vastly increased number of motor vehicles on the streets and the increase in population that they seem low. The reduction is sufficient, however, to indicate that the entire public is becoming conscious that careful driving and walking are imperative at all times. Toxin-antitoxin given to susceptible children now will protect them against diphtheria during the main season of that disease this next autumn. The state distributes toxin-antitoxin without local cost so that the only expense of immunizing children is the physician's fee. Typhoid fever in Illinois is running nearly 25 per cent below last year's figures. From now until December is the main season for that infection, however, and it is also the great vacation period. Too often polluted streams, contaminated drinking water and impure milk get disasterously mixed up in vacation activities with the result that typhoid marches home with the people who went away for their health. * * * "All the news that's fit to print," is our slogan.

New York. —The South not only lags behind other sections of the country in education, but refuses to face its own condition and continues to boast where it should experience shame, according to Dr. Edgar W. Knight, professor of education in North Carolina State university. A report of Dr. Knight's address before a group of educators at Columbia university, published in the Evening Post, is summarized as follows: "The South is at the very bottom mentof the ladder in educational achievement: illiteracy is rampant there; 260,000 native-born white women in sheer illiteracy, now inhabit 11 southern states, and an equal or even larger number of white men. The South is also at the bottom of the list in the number of its public libraries."

It is the opinion of Dean Donowa that more thorough instruction can be given to smaller classes, that it will also make for higher type of student with more careful selection and rigid requirements for admission. In keeping with the recommendation of the United States Bureau of Education and the plan adopted by Howard university, student reports of all departments are to be kept in the office of the university registrar. Beginning with the autumn quarter, all professional students will register on the university campus under the auspices of the registrars office as in the case of students in the various academic colleges. Revived, Says Club Revived interest in automobile racing is already being noticed as a result of the decision of the Indianapolis Speedway to bring car specifications more in line with those on the highway, according to word received by the Chicago Motor club from the contest board of the American Automobile association. The governing body of racing says that the protest against the change from the 91.5 cubic inch cars, which came from a few drivers, has been brought to an end with the realization that the smaller cars will be continued in general use. "As a result," says the statement, "there will be the Indianapolis classic with its appeal to the public through the use of cars more nearly resembling those used on the highways, and also other events with the highly specialized 91.5 cubic inch cars." The contest board declared that the change in specifications for Indianapolis has aroused the interest of automobile manufacturers and it is anticipated that additional test-tracks will be built on which stock cars will be tested.
