President Rebukes Leaders ★★★★ RACE NEEDS NEW TYPE OF LEADERS GARYEYITE SAYS James Declares Unselfish Leadership Need of the Hour; Makes Strong Appeal By Charles L. James President Universal Negro Improvement Association There is a call to Negro manhood today that cannot be denied, that will not dawn till men, real men be men and true, come forth in large numbers to take up the burden of the race and carry the problems to a successful conclusion. More than ever at the present time there is a need for men that will not swerve from the part of duty. Men who will not allow anybody or anything on earth, or in the waters, under the earth, to keep them from going forth day after day in the quest for Negro Freedom, and Negro upliftment. Men are wanted who will not winie in the face of scandal or flinch from the consequences of the fight to life up their fallen brothers in Gary or any part of the world; and men who will stand above criticism and look the world in the face. The masses are looking to the intelligence of the Negro race for daring and courageous men. Not men of straw but men whom the lust of office does not kill, or the spoils of office does not buy. We are now appealing to the manhood of the race for that type of leadership. When that type of leadership is evolved from the race, Negro leadership will be revered. It has always been rumored that the Negro will not follow black leadership. With authority I can refute that statement. Negroes have followed and will follow black leadership but that leadership must be unselfish. Whenever our intelligensias of the race takes pride in referring to the masses as ignorant, what can we expect but a war between the classes and the masses. I have spoken to many ministers of the gospel who have large congregations, and when giving them my views on general conditions of the Negro, they assured me of their firm understanding of the situation but they are engaged in the promotion of the Kingdom of Christ and cannot take part. As a matter of fact Christ came to do good, it is true that he preached the word, but he also cleaned the leper, raised the dead and advised for good those with whom he came in contact. He was not (isolated) and all his personal representatives should put their shoulder to the wheel and help to improve the condition generally, fulfilling Christ's declaration: "Iasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me." This serves good for every one who leads the Negro in any endeavor. The time has come for us all to link ourselves together. The white man by co-operation has mastered the world and if we as a race must achieve the ★★★★ The Gary Tugaloo club will present Madame Odel Stone in a recital at the First Baptist Church, December 13, at 8:30 p. m.

DECLARES CRITICS SINGER'S VOICE IS GROWING WEAKER. DECLARES CRITICS Delicacy of Artists Tone Seen As Sure Sign That He Is Losing Artistry NEW YORK, Dec. 6 — Roland Hayes, the celebrated Negro tenor, is losing his voice! Having charmed millions with his singing of Negro Spirituals, Hayes, according to critics, is growing weaker in his renditions of songs, and his voice is gradually faltering. Tone Monotonous The singer's delicacy of tone is developing more and more "and monotony" is just around the corner. These are the conclusions reached by musical critics following Hayes' appearance in Carnegie Hall last week. Irving Well, musical critic of the New York Evening Journal, is the authority for the statement that Hayes' voice is growing weaker. In a review of his concert at Carnegie hall last week, Weil says: "The songs (Hayes sang) were more the filagree of emotion than emotion itself. Moreover, extreme delicacy is invading Mr. Hayes' style more pronouncedly from year to year. "From pianissimo to half-voice has become almost the complete substance of his dynamic gamut, and monotony is just around the corner." "It was only rarely last night that the singer made use of the full volume of his voice, which is not great at best, and there seemed to be no gradient between that and his customary repression. One noted this the more because at other times Mr Hayes has been a singer of much dynamic variety. But fortunately his intense expressive range covered the whole content of his songs, though as we have said, this was not as severely taxing as it might have been. Even his singing, as an encore, of the "Dream" from Massenet's "Manon," although beautifully done, was singularly like a miniature." Church Notes The emergency rally of the St. James A.M.E. church which is under the auspices of the King and Queen club will be held Sunday. The congregation is expected to raise $500. The proceeds of the Thanksgiving dinner, which was around $45 will go toward the rally. The public is cordially invited to give contributions. The First Free Baptist church, 2451 Pennsylvania, the Rev. J. L. Barnett pastor, has just closed a two-weeks revival. The revival began November 16, and ended November 29. The meetings were conducted by Rev. Barnett's co-ministers. It was a very successful revival. There was one convert. Other members were admitted into the church.

GARY RAILWAYS CO COMPLETES TRACK Company Spends $17,000 to Improve Right of Way; Project Is Now Finished With completion of extensive repairs to its tracks on 45th avenue and Cleveland street in the Glen Park district, the bulk of 1929 reconstruction and rehabilitation program of Gary Railways is at an end, it was announced today. More than $17,000 was required to improve approximately two miles of right-of-way, along 45th between Harrison and Cleveland and on Cleveland between 45th and 49th. New ties were put in for the entire distance, and concrete paving was laid at five street intersections, at Harrison, Grant and Cleveland on 45th and at 47th and 48th on Cleveland. For a distance of a mile and a quarter the track was lowered to the level of the street, in some places as much as four feet. For the remainder of the distance, the track was raised in some places as much as ten inches. In addition to the work in Glen Park the company has made numerous other improvements along its tracks. Two sidings were double ended, one at the Sanitarium on the Crown Point division and one at Esserman siding on the Vaparaiso division. Hundreds of ties were renewed during the season on the Hammond, Valparaiso and Indiana Harbor divisions. On the Crown Point division five switches were electrified and eight stop signs at railroad crossings and five warning signs at rural grade crossings were installed. Automotive freight in 1928 exceeded 3,500,000 carloads. I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by anybody other than myself. DEATH BARES SEX OF MAN IN SOUTH WHO FOOLED TOWN DEATH BARES SEX OF MAN IN SOUTH WHO FOOLED TOWN Find That Man Posed As Woman For Many Years; Kept Everybody Fooled SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 6.—The fatal shooting of Annabelle Jones, Wednesday night, and the subsequent discovery that Annabelle was a man, and the weird stories of the past history of the "man-woman's" life piece together from bits of rumor and hear-say has stirred Shreveporters almost to the point of excitement. Annabelle Jones came to Shreveport from Monroe, La., about five months ago and has successfully passed as a woman until the afore-mentioned night, when he-she, it is alleged, was killed by a bullet fired from a pistol held in the hands of Mrs. Eddie Thomas at a drinking party composed of "Annabelle", the Thomas woman, and one Eddie Jones. Following the shooting, the masquerader was rushed to the Charity hospital, where he died soon after being brought there, and an examination revealed the fact that "Annabelle" was a he-man. So successfully had Annabelle carried out the female scheme of deception that it was hard to convince those among whom the masquerader had mingled that he was, in reality, a man. The clever use of pads, wig, flashy jewelry, rubber leg-cover, paint and other paraphernalia, together with costly lingerie made the impersonation so perfect that no one with whom he associated during the five months he has been in Shreveport ever suspected that he was not a woman. Even Dr. W. P. Butler, coroner states that no similar case has ever come under his observation in all his years of experience. A marriage license found on the person of Annabelle showed that he had been married to a man by the name of Leroy Minger at Monroe, La, October 2, 1924. An insurance policy, fully paid up was also found at the home where the shooting occurred. It is also alleged that he was also married to a man in Dallas, Texas, from whom he was divorced. It is reported that one Clifton Brown of Hollandale, Mississippi, has identified Annabelle as John Hill of Hollandale, where, it is said, he has a grown daughter, who is married. The remains of Annabelle was turned over to the J. S. Williams & Son, undertakers, for burial and still lies in state there. Over 16,000 people, white and colored, have visited the undertaking parlers to see the manwoman, whose career has no parallel in this section of the country. A continuous human stream pours into the Williams' Funeral home from 8 o'clock in the morning until midnight with no let-up. In fact, the crowd increases daily. The continued "passing" for a woman apparently has had some effect on the physiognomy of Annabelle. The ears, temples, nose, and cheeks resemble that of a woman who has lived (Continued on Page 2) Page Two DAUGHTER ELKS IN MEET AT MUNCIE.

Nineteen cities with a population of over 100,000 reduced the total number of fatal accidents in 1928, according to the Chicago Motor club. Gasoline consumption for 1929 will exceed ten billion gallons for the first time, according to the Chicago Motor club. The average cost of operating a car on a farm is $208 a year, not including depreciation, according to the Chicago Motor club. There were 4,024,590 passenger automobiles produced in the United States and Canada in 1928. Flexible concrete poles have been developed at a Milwaukee plant for electric transmission and street car service lines. The Greek Parliament has enacted a law requiring the closing of all bakeries that do not conform to sanitary regulations. Only 11.5 per cent of the 1928 production of motor cars were open models. Only four automobiles were registered in the United States in 1895. “His Glorious Night,” the picture chosen for his talking debut, casts John Gilbert in the role of a dashing, handsome, army officer, adored by the ladies, and admired by his fellow officers. This all-talking romance is far more impassioned than was “Flesh and The Devil,” in which Gilbert was co-starred with the beautiful Greta Garbo. JACK'S ARMY STORE 1060 Broadway TRADE AT JACK'S and Save Some Jack --- Should We Imitate The White Man? (Editor's Note. The question of whether the American Negro should assimilate the white man's culture, or develop a culture of his own has been widely, almost violently, discussed during the past few years. In the following article, W. A. Lorden, associate editor of The American, gives his opinion on the subject. This article is the first of a series which will follow in subsequent issues.) Bu W A Lorden It seems to me that the question of whether the Negro should develop a Culture that is distinctly Negrooid or one that is commensurate with American ideals is one that would deserve our fullest consideration in this day of high-spirited, social, economic, political, religious, and inter-national discussions. That we are at cross-roads on this question is undeniable, and it is therefore much more important that we consider it with an attitude of open-mindedness-with the hope of elucidating a few vital problems that are the natural outgrowths of it—rather than shrouding it with more complications and unsuccessful evasions. Just why would any one attempt to discuss, with the public mind, problems that will bring serious indictments and unholy accusations against his character (regardless of his stand, pro or con, on these problems) is a question that can be supplied with an answer that hints at the gathering of a new school of thought among Negroes. The answer is: The reign of propaganda is ever, even though the propagandists do not realize it. It can never return. The propagandist may change a state of peace into a state of war, a state of war into a state of peace. He may even change a state of slavery into a state of freedom; but his efforts are in vain in any attempted agitation for the fullest and highest recognition of his personal importance. There is ample intellectual foundation for a new conception of existing inter-racial conditions and the consequent formation of a new social structure. Thus, we venture to discuss this question in the light of fact and understanding, the non-evasive forces that lead to the solution of any complication. Culture covers such a broad and indefinable realm that unless we accept just here some comprehensive analysis of culture, we would really have no Shoppin MARY Shopping With MARY ANN Skill in filling prescriptions our policy.

Refinement is relative and as varied as there are groups in the universe who are living in dis-similar environments. Thus—among the habits of the cultured Hindu, he has acquired those of sipping his coffee from his saucer and adorning himself with his rather odd (to us) head-dress. From the Chinaman's ideal of beautiful "slant eyes" to the Caucasian's conception that only straight hair, thin lips, color-less skin, and cating with a fork instead of a knife are the true attributes of refinement, we have examples of the tendency of each racial group to standardize its own ideals and cultural traits. We might further state in our of- forts to get clear of our entangling definition that a new conception of the cultured in America has been stated by the prevailing conditions. That is—there was a time in America (or a part of America) when a sign of culture was one's privilege not to work. To-day we call such a man "useless." Thus, an ideal man is one who produces, and who has acquired the approved manners in dressing, speaking and eating. The question now which hurls itself to the front is—Should the Negro develop the American Ideal? The answer is; There is no American Ideal. There is, instead, a White Ideal of manners and those manners are but accurate descriptions of the white man's own features and attributes. We might note further that the only excuse for the establishment of ideals by any group is to create an appreciation for its kind, to establish confidence and to assure cooperation within the group. If culture means these things, are we not in need of it? Therein lies the secret of the foreign Negro's superior intelligence to that of the colored American. He has learned to appreciate his own. Can the colored leaders be sincere when they fight an exclusive school for colored children (where the child can be taught and not the text book) and with the same breath advocate steadfast patronage of Negro business by Negroes? Must we admit the seemingly just criticism that we do not know what we want? We resent being referred to as any thing but an American citizen and in the same fit of righteous indignation we petition the President to favor our ing With Y ANN A directory of wants and offers which is strictly brought up-to-date each day—that's what this department is.

Both claim that the killing was accidental. "group" with political appointments. If we actually want to be recognized as an American citizen in the fullest sense, do we not thwart our own efforts by expecting group favors? Are we not more conscious of our being colored than any one else? If so—what is the objection to developing that consciousness to the point where it may be a source of pride to us? Is there any reason why our faces should be white or our hair straight before we consider ourselves in "A" standing? No? Then, as long as we strive for the "American culture," we shall be a disgruntled lot with ourselves for nature can not be "bribed." Why should the advocacy of separate schools mean self-segregation to us? It really means our only opportunity to enlighten and improve the average Negro child. We learn by contacts made by the greater environmental forces that press upon us. The contact that is afforded in mixed schools cannot offset those made in each child's community life. The average Negro child come from an environment, that is far inferior to that from which the average white child comes. The text book used in the class room is compiled as the results of a study of white children. The average Negro child is not benefited at all. It is only the exceptional Negro child who realizes what it is all about. It is only the exceptional Negro child who gets an opportunity to develop in extra activities of the school. John Dewey says that we learn to do by doing. If the average Negro child does not "do" while in the process of development, he will simmer into that great mass of Negroes who have wasted the money of the state as well as that of their parents—and are now of no tangible worth to their own people—but have proved themselves to be a fault-finding, non-constructive and contentious bore to other people. If it is unwise to advocate the development of a race consciousness, that in turn, develops race appreciation, why do we "gloat" and "brag" of the achievements of an American who happens to be black?

The stock market collapse, temporary business depressions, or financial crises are momentary phenomena. American business is the soundest in the world, the most progressive, the wealthiest. Our tremendous reserves in capital and credit are steadily building up new enterprises, improving the employment problem, and increasing the national payroll.

GAME IS CALLED School Football Teams Balks When Colored Player Is Objected To (Bu A, P, Night Wire) ALTOONA, Pa., Dec. 6.—The football game between Cumberland High School, of Maryland, and the Altoona High School was cancelled here Saturday when the southern school refused to play when they learned that a colored boy was on the Altoona team and would play in the game. Edward "Sunny Boy" Milton is one of the stars on the Altoona squad and his coach, faculty and members of the school board stood behind the edict of the faculty manager, Robert E. Wolfe, who said before the game on Wednesday that if the colored boy could not play "we won't play." The Chamber of Commerce, 20 religious organizations and the Altoona press stood behind the team and editorials appeared daily stating that the colored boy should be allowed to play and to call the game off if the "crackers" refused to go on with the game. Milton is one of the stars of the team in the school with over 2,500 students with only 20 colored and two colored in the senior class. His mother is a widow and his sister works as a janitor in order that Edward may continue school. Two of the school principals, Prof. Robb, of the high school, and Prof. Byrd, of the junior high school, commended the actions of the coach and manager. All organizations in the city passed resolutions commending the school officials and condemning the southern team. Unlike New York University which refused to allow David Myers to play with his team against the University of Georgia, the Altoona school gave out the notice that Milton will not be barred and didn't say he was sick like the New York University.

The recent "market break," characterized as the most severe since the panic of 1914, has taught thousands an expensive lesson. The prevalent practice of buying stocks on lean margins, by persons without reserves to weather reverses, is basically unsound. Leading financial authorities and major stock exchanges and their members have continually warned and ruled against this practice. Even margins normally considered safe did not stand in the late crisis. The fact that short-sighted speculators have been wiped out in the general decline, is no argument against the institution of modern corporate finance. Our progress is made as more of the public income finds its way into business. Investors who own interests in standard, established industries, bought through recognized brokerage channels on values rather than tips, have nothing to fear. —The newest fuel for stationary internal combustion engines, to be used first in this country by the city of Charlotte, N.
