R. O. Gives Permit To White, None To Calumet Legion VOLUME III No.37 by fmd Mustard HELLO, EVERYBODY! Little Dickie Dishwater, the office pest, got a little tight the other day on some Washington street milk and stood on the street corner letting things put in their appearance again. "I remember that ham sandwich," he said sadly. "And that salad, too," he said a few minutes later. "That apple pie was might good," he reminisced. Just then a dog passed slowly in the gutter. "For goodness sake," said Dickie, alarmed. "When did I eat that?" ADD SIMILIES: AS NERVOUS AS, A FISHING WORM IN AN ACQUARIUM.

HOMELESS HARRY SAYS HE FELT SO LOW DOWN A FEW DAYS AGO HE MISTOOK A SNAKE'S EYE FOR A STAR. We had a heluva last line written but it got loose and ran away with the carnival last Saturday night. Observations By Earl J. Morris What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. Certain caucasian citizens, who may be tax-payers, but it is doubtful of their citizenship, object to the children of sepia colored taxpayers, who are citizens, playing with their children in the park at 15th and Pennsylvania. These white parents seem to think that the little colored boys and girls will contaminate their children, and the colored parents are furious, while the children can't understand it at all, and seek each other's companionship. "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," once said Jesus. Mr. Roth, white merchant, said approximately the same thing when interviewed by a Gary American reporter. Mr. Roth, who last week employed a colored girl to clerk in his store, believes in giving employment to those who patronize him. For the past few days Gary has been suffering in the sweltering heat, with relief seemingly remote. There doesn't seem to be a breath of air stirring, and all business, houses of amusement, and all social activities appear to be in a state of lethargy. It is too hot to eat, sleep or work. Thousands retreated and escaped to Pine Beach Sunday, and took refuge in Lake Michigan's inviting waters, where they would momentarily escape the wrath of the persecuting sun. President and Mrs. Adams got lost in the woods in 1800 while driving from Baltimore to Washington. M. C. H. Walter V. Potter, local tenor and Roosevelt school music instructor, will give a recital at the Tennessee A. and I. college in Nashville on Aug. 12. He will make a recital tour of the state while away. PETITION TO BE FILED AT MEET OF COUNCILMEN South Side Post Angered Over Appearance of Dodson Carnival A petition, drawn up and signed by officials and members of Calumet Post No. 99 of The American Legion, will be presented in the city council meeting Monday night in an effort to learn just why Mayor R. O. Johnson permitted Memorial Post of the legion, white, to sponsor Dodson's carnival here last week after he had told a Calumet post committee that no organization could sponsor such an event in Gary. Dodson's World's Fair shows, located on 26th avenue in a district composed almost entirely of Negroes, had not more than a 40 per cent white patronage. Memorial post is said to have received $1,500 as its share of the proceeds. It was two months ago that a committee, according to Dr. F. S. Rudolph, service officer and past commander of the south side post, wen- to Mayor Johnson for a carnival permit. They planned to raise money for the construction of a legion hut and to aid in caring for the wives and families of disabled veterans. "There have been several organizations here trying to get carnival permits." Johnson is quoted as saying, "but it is not the policy of the present administration to grant such permits to any group." The first intimation that Calumet post had of the carnival came when bills were posted announcing its coming. The mayor was called upon again. "Aren't you fellows in on this thing?" he asked the committee in great surprise. "I thought you were." It is believed that the permit went through at a special council meeting. A second attempt of Calumet post to get a permit has, incidentally, met with failure. Several aldermen have announced their intention of cooperating with the south side post in its petition to the council Monday night. Ald. Louis Christopher has signified his intention of presenting the petition to the body, according to Dr. Rudolph. Jazzin' the News (The Week's News In Verse) By F. Marshall Davis R. O.

MOVE TO DEPORT PARK CASE HEADS Students Threaten Rev. Bailey; Dr. Delaney Booed By Crowd An attempted attack on the person of the Rev. A. C. Bailey, the booing and silencing of the Rev. Dr. Frank S. Delaney, the brandishing of a gun, and oral assaults on absent ministers featured the mass meeting last night at Israel C. M. E. church, 23rd and Washington streets, held by the faction opposing the erection of the proposed south side segregated high school building. In fact, only the quick actions of the level-headed persons present prevented a small riot from taking place. When the meeting adjourned, the church was in an uproar and the mob spirit was evident. Flays Segregationists Alfred M. Hall, local labor leader and principal speaker, started the fireworks when he declared, "all Negroes in favor of segregated schools should go back to Mississippi . . . If I should go to the West Indies, I would accept the customs of that country and not try to force my opinions on the people living there. When West Indians come here, they should do the same and not attempt to foster segregation in this country. There was some whispered comment from the members of the opposing faction who came to the meeting. But it did not prevent the adoption of a resolution embodying strenuous opposition to the proposed school building and present system. A committee, appointed by the chairman of Revs. Baili (Continued on Page Two) AUDITORS STOP BINGA'S BANK Chicago Bank CHICAGO—Claiming that it had too many frozen assets, State Auditor Oscar Nelson Thursday ordered the closing of Binga State Bank, one of the biggest racial financial institutions in the country. As a result, the I. B. P. O. E., which uses that bank as a depository, faces the loss of at least a sizeable portion of its national funds at only a few weeks before the national Elks convention is scheduled to be held. Although the bank has a capital of $200,000, surplus of $45,000, undivided profits for 1929 of $11,000 and deposits of $1,200,000, a decline in real estate values and the withdrawal of savings by those at present out of employment is thought to account for its closing. Pending the auditing of the bank's books, no exact statement of its condition can be given. Car Leaps Curbstone; Strikes Building In an effort to avoid striking another car while making a turn at 18th avenue and Washington street Tuesday night, John Christ, 1249 Washington, lost control of his car and crashed into the front of Rudolph's Bakery and Lunch room, breaking the plate-glass window and demolishing the abutment of the building. Christ promised to pay all damaged done to the lunch room. There are 7,800,000 miles of highway in the world, of which 3,016,281 are located in the United States. Office of Publication: 1819 Washington Street. Telephone Gary 6134 GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1930 The Washington park situation is not yet settled. There is still danger that the careless act of a member of either racial group may cause a serious inter-racial melee. Gary Negroes have shown during the week that they are not to be intimidated by any shyster lawyer seeking to curry favor with his own people by bowing to the tin god of race prejudice. Had it not been for the unfortunate influence of a few white leaders of this type who wheedled their own people into believing that contact with the Negro American meant contamination in some way, it is doubtful whether we would had to face the present situation. Yet even that has had its advantages. Prior to the airing of the park case, many a south side citizen did not know that there was a Washington park and that he and his people were apparently barred from going there. As citizens we have the legal right to enjoy any tax-supported place in Gary. It is up to us to indulge these rights. We can gain nothing by sitting back and crying. To the N. A. A. C. P., the local ministers cooperating in the peaceful fight for our rights, and those who have gone to the park with the intention of getting what is justly due, all praise. Let us hope that the situation will soon be settled to the mutual benefit of all concerned. And let us continue going to the park in large numbers so that the opposing faction may know that the Gary Negro will not be deprived of his rights by a band of professional agitators and their threats. Friends Disagree and Fight While In Drunken Daze With the death Thursday morning of Joe W. Nicholas, 517 W. 22nd place, in St. John hospital, the semifinal chapter of a drunken brawl that started Sunday afternoon when Nicholas was cut with a razor wielded by his friend, W. T. Anderson, 2196 Adams street, was written as a murder charge was filed against Anderson. The fracas happened at 2169 Adams, and although there were no eye-witnesses to the trouble it is reported that Nicholas and Anderson had become embroiled in an argument concerning whether or not Nicholas would remain at Anderson's home for the evening. Head Nearly Severed From Body When neighbors heard Nicholas' cry of pain they rushed in and found him lying in a pool of blood, and Anderson banishing a razor. Nicholas was rushed to the hospital where it was found that his head was nearly severed from his body with a laceration that extended from the lower lip around the left side of the neck, in addition to lacerations across the left cheek and back. He was bleeding profusely when taken to the hospital. Doctors despaired of his life immediately, but because of his rugged condition, super-induced by an extra supply of alcohol, he lived until Thursday morning. Police officers responded to a call placed by neighbors, but when arriving at the scene found that Anderson had made his escape. After a search of the neighborhood, he was found wandering aimlessly along 22nd Avenue. He was taken to the hospital and was identified by Nicholas as his assailant. An- (Continued on Page Three) Hold Big Parade Sunday; Dance Saturday Night To End Anniversary In the blazing heat of a noonday sun which beat mercilessly down from a cloudless sky, more than 3,000 Garveyites staged a monster parade Sunday at 12:30 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Gary U. N. I. A. and to honor Mme. M. L. T. DeMena, international organizer who was the main speaker at the Sunday meetings. During the parade, which began at Liberty Hall, 21st and Washington streets, and ended there after a distance of several miles had been traversed, three marchers were prostrated by the intense heat. Clarence Tolbert, cavorting drum major of the Tempo Star band, was treated by a Universal Black Cross nurse as were the other two. All three resumed march. At the morning services which preceded the parade, more than 500 were in attendance. Labor temple was crowded at the three o'clock program and that night at Liberty hall all available space for standing was occupied. Mme. DeMena, who made her main speech at the afternoon session, spoke on the climb of civilization. She returned recently from South and Central America and the British West Indies. Mr. McFarlane, principal of Roosevelt high school, made the welcome address. Message from Garvey Marcus Garvey, head of the U. N. I. A. movement, sent a telegram to the local branch congratulating its members on the anniversary. A resolution was immediately adopted here to congratulate Garvey on (Continued on Page Three) Crowds Flock To Park: Hold Meet Tonight On Situaton Deportation moves were to be begun today against leaders of the white faction opposed to Negro enjoyment of the privileges of Washington Park, located at 15th and Pennsylvania streets, by a group of south side lawyers and leaders on the ground that they were inciting American citizens to riot. The immigration laws provide for the deportation of any naturalized citizen on conviction of a felony or on proof that such a person is conspiring against the laws of the country. Inciting to riot comes under such classification. Spychalski Leader Action will be directed particularly against Frank A. Spychalski. Polish attorney who declared at a meeting last week at 1801 Broadway that unless Mayor Johnson told Negroes Tuesday they could not use Washington park, he would not be responsible for the actions of his people. During the week he has been seen at the park, apparently urging his cohorts to "do something." Thus far, however, no conflict has occured between members of the two races. Many At Park In response to a call sent out Sunday from the pulpits for all persons interested in seeing such attempts at segregation nipped in the (Continued on Page Four) Dr. McMitchell, Leader In Gary for 15 Years Dies Of Illness Suscumbing at last to a lingering illness of two years duration, Dr. Fred G. McMitchell, 50, for 15 years a leading physician in Gary, died Tuesday morning at his home, 2655 Connecticut street. Burial will probably be in Mississippi, his birth place. Coming to Gary with his wife in 1915, Dr. McMitchell immediately began the practice of medicine. He was successful from the start and his efforts were crowned with the building of a $50,000 hospital at 22nd avenue and Massachusetts street, a place now known as St. John's hospital and under the management of Dr. Hedrick. More than two years ago the physician became ill from a heart attack. Soon afterward his wife died, a shock from which Mr. McMitchell never fully recovered. Less than a year ago, Mr. McMitchell opened a 12 room sanitarium at 22nd and Broadway. The work was too strenuous for him with the result that he again became prostrated. A graduate of Tuskegee, Atlanta and Howard universities, Meharry Medical college and Rush Medical college of Chicago, he was well qualified to assume the leadership he did in the medical field. He was a member of the board of health in Mayor Johnson's former administration and a physician for various lodge and insurance organizations. He was also a member of the American Medical association. A sister living in Mississippi and an uncle residing in Chicago are his only relatives. He leaves a host of friends to mourn his passing. The body is at Smith's Funeral home. She'd Rather Stay At Home It's fine for a stone to do a little rolling, but home is the best place after all, thinks lovely Margaret Jones, pretty Washington, D. C., chorine who has toured nearly all of these United States with a musical comedy company. And many a Gary male would stay at home, too, if there were someone like Miss Jones there. RAPS DAILY ON AX MAN STORY SHOT TO DEATH IN ESCAPE TRY Says Hood Not Identified By Mack Due To Post Tribune Publicity Blame for the failure of Ulysses Mack, Gary hatchet mudrerer now awaiting execution in the state prison at Michigan City, to identify Louis Hood, alleged to have been his companion in crime, was placed on the Gary Post-Tribune by Detective John Bolden today. Bolden claims that a story appearing in the Tuesday's issue of the local daily is directly responsible. It was stated then that Hood was to be taken to the prison to see if Mack would identify him. The detective believes that Mack was told not to identify Hood by his lawyer or by his relatives, who visited the prison just before Hood Claude Lewis, alias Clifford Lewis, was taken there. Meanwhile, Louis Hood, alias identified and no one knows definitely whether the 36-year-old- ex-Garyite is the mysterious "man alias Claude Hood, has not been with the limp" or a victim of circumstances. Friends who knew him back in his birthplace of Decatur, Ala., claim that he has always had the habit of changing his name. It is known, however, that he was in Gary at the time of the murders and that he went to Saginaw, Mich., and from there to Richmond where he was arrested. Unless Hood can be positively identified as the companion of Mack who aided in the killing of two white girls and a Negro man and the assaults on others here, he is expected to be set at liberty within the next few days.

SHOT TO DEATH IN ESCAPE TRY Garyite Learns Too Late That It Doesn't Pay To Be A Criminal It doesn't pay to be a criminal. Today a Garyite is dead -- shot down like a dog as he attempted to flee from a local policeman -- further proof that a career of crime must come to a bitter end. That man is Ben Head, 30, who lived at 1715 Broadway. Early Saturday Morning Head tried to rob a grocery store at 17th and Virginia streets -- his third job that night, so police say. He did not see Patrolman Walter Poturalski until it was too late. Head ran. The officer caught him. Then, after he was returned to the grocery store, he thought he saw another chance to escape. Again he sprinted away. This time he fell sprawling to the ground, a bullet through an artery in his right thigh. At the hospital he confessed to entering the Romanchek home at 1821 Virginia shortly before his capture and to trying to enter the Size residence at 1624 Virginia at two o'clock that morning. He died soon after from low of blood. And thus Head paid with his life to further prove the truth of the age-old story - crime doesn't pay. N. A. A. C. P.'s Begin Drive for Membership In a big mass meeting to be held Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the Hunton Y. M. C. A., 2225 Broadway, the yearly membership drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to get under way. The goal of the organization is 500 members by Sept. 1. Everyone is urged to join and aid in the fight for local and national betterment that the N. A. A. C. P. is now waging. Membership fees vary, being $1, $2.50, $5 and $10. Alfred H.

DeMena Speaking, she of the charming per- sonalify and gracious manner who was a guest of our city this week and has the responsibility of being international organizer for the Uni- versal Negro Improvement associa- tion. Mme. DeMena in private life is in direct contrast with the fiery speaker of the lecture platform. Small in stature, she speaks quiet- ly but with unmistakable sincerity. It is hard to believe that she has the power to sway audiences as she does. Because of her force, she ap- pears much larger when speaking to a group than she really is. Keep Up With Others “Garyites, to get full development along racial lines, must take their work parallel with that of other groups so that when the white race sueceeds in any endeavor, our group will arrive at the same time,” she continued. _She had been sought out following the U. N. I. A. banquet Tuesday night. It is easy to see that Mme. De- Mena is full of energy to serve her people. She is well prepared for the task, having attended schools in both Europe and America. There is only one country in the known world that she has not visited, and that is Segtland. : Only Woman Organizer Mme. DeMena hasbeen a very valuable and active member of the U. N. L.A. since its advent into America. She has also served the organization in all parts of the .Slobe. As international organizer in charge of the American field, she ‘has set up branches all over the country, and incidentally is the only woman to be so honored with such a high position. “The people of Gary are very re- ceptive and will be very valuable to the race under the right lead- ership,” she stated. “I am unable to find adjectives enough to show my praise for Charles L. James, the president of the local division here, “I have been cordially received by everyone in Gary, for which I am very appreciative,” she con- cluded. Mme. DeMena left Tuesday night followjng the banquet for Chicago where she will unveil the charter of @ new branch being established there.

Mean- ‘ing that the successor to the record breaking “Hallelujah”—but a great- er picture—will make its bow to the Gary theatre-goers on Wednesday ‘afternoon at the Broadway theatre, and will continue through Thurs- day night. “Georgia Rose” which is the name of this seven-reel all- Negro talkie production, was pro- duced by Christie and Pathe studios and stars Clarence Brooks, Evelyn Preer and Irene Wilson; with fea- ture parts played by Roberta Hy- son ,Allegretti Anderson, Edward Thompson, Webb King, Spencer Williams, Dora Dean Johnson and E. C. Dyer. In a preview shown in Chicaso last week, this scribe witnessed the unfolding of a more realistic dram1 than King Vidor's stupendous pro- duction, which was realistic in its own manner, but did not give the Negro credit for the advancement he has made. But not so with “Georgia Rose'’--which is a modern picturization of the exodus of the Negro from the South and of the many subsequent trails and triumphs. Clarence Brooks, who is the star of the picture, has played in many productions but in this particular one he is at his best, singing the theme song “A Little Rosebud From Georgia. Miss Preer has been be- fore the public for years, both on the stage ana in pictures. Her greatest work was as a David Bel- asco understudy to the great Lenore Ulrie in “Lulu Belle”. She sings an- other featured number “You'll Never Tell Nobody.” Miss Wilson is a “new find” to the gang; hail- ing from St. Louis, but clicks well with her number, “Come Back to Your Mama.” We know that you “cussed” and discussed “Hallelujah” because it started in the “cotton fields” and took you back there, not giving the Negro credit for any advancement, But see “Georgia Rose’—it is dif- ferent. “You just can’t help but like it.”— Ramblin’ Rudie. “Common Clay” New Film At Chicago’s Roosevelt “Common Clay” is now the fea- tured attraction at the Roosevelt theater. The screen version of this tense drama was based on the high- ly praised legitimate stage produe- tion of the same name. Never be- fore have the film producing com- panies been able to carry out the minute details of a stage play for the talking screen as well as was accomplished in “Common Clay.” “Common Clay” as was presented on the stage bewildered the audi- ences by the tragic and sincere feel- ing that prevailed throughout the production. In making the talk. ‘ing version of this nationally recog- nized stage play, many scenes were elaborated, more people were able ‘to appear in a scene, and last, many great stars from the stage and screen were united for. this huge siiccéas.

It was here that Rev. Delaney, who had been sitting unnoticed at thd back of the church, took offense and strode to the front amid the cheers of a group of high school students. Boos and hisses now greeted him. Unable to make himself _ heard above the hubub, he walked back to his seat. The uproar increased. Seeing that little more business could be transacted, Hall made a motion for adjournment. Outside the church, the excite- ment continued. Students, in fa- vor of the proposed segregated high school and opposed to the actions of the ministers, argued with the older folk. Someone shouted," this is what McFarlane is teaching them. They're nothing but hood- lums!” Toward Rev. Bailey the students surged, shouting and _ hurling threats. Lawyer Milo Murray and others ran to his assistance and carried him away out of danger's reach. The high school group now at- tempted to vent their spleen on someone else.

Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder and owner of the famous institution, made the announcement this week in a letter which was sent to the more than 50,000 agents affiliated with this organization and who are scattered throughout every neck and cranny of the country. It has been known for sometime im business circles here that Mrs. Malone was quietly acqiring exten- sive real estate holdings in Chicago. She now owns the entire block on South Parkway, formerly Grand Boulevard, between 44th and 45th Streets. This block in former years was occupied by a group of multi-millionaires, John R.

McINTYRE - HUDSON CO. 1067 Broadway Phone 2-6702 pertinent aragraphs Congress, since it has been under the dominance of Herbert Clark Hoover, has developed a penchant for “Investigating”. Although the national] legislative body is not in session, there are two investigations now in progress, directly under the control of this body, while one group of investigators recently re. turned to this country. The most peculiar co-incidence about the sit. uation is that the “investigations” have largely been made where Ne- groes were involved. President Hoover sent a group oi “investigators” to Haiti, to see why the residents of that country could not “understand” the U. S. Marines. He sent a group of “investigators” to Liberfa, trying to learn what he could about the reported peonage cases in that country. And now, Rep. Fish of New York is “investi- gating” the actions of the commun- ists in this country; presumably be- cause they freely welcome Negroes into their ranks. We do not know what will be done about the reports of these government “investigators”, but be- fause Negroes are involved, we are sure more will be done than has been done by the most blatant of all of Hoover's “investigators,” the Wickersham committee, we can only hope that when the President desires to go “investigating” again, he will confine his “sleuths” to that territory on the southern side of the Are you in need of 3 MONEY see Sam at 1604 Broadway Phone 2-3477 9200000 O$ OOOO 09690060590 TRAVEL BY BUS | EVERYWHERE _ SAN FRANCISCO 22 $49.00 NEW YORK CITY ........----........ $20.50 LOUISVILLE, KY. ~............---4..--...-....... $17.00 KANSAS CITY .....0-0.0------2s.... $8.00 - LOS ANGELES ..0000000 0. $48.50 CINCINNATI 0. $6075 PITTSBURGH .................... $11.00 MEMPHIS .................... $10.00 ST.

Indiana authorities want to talk with Dr. A. M. Townsend of Nash- ville, Tennessee, and see what he knows about the Pierson murder case. Governor Leslie has sent official communication to Governor Hor- ton, asking that Dr. Townsend and his son be extradited from Tennes- see. But the Governor of Tennes- see has been too busy with his political campaign to answer the communication from the governor of Indiana. Consequently, justice must wait, while the governor of Tennessee “plays polities.” Conventions, conventions, conven- tions, those annual get-togathers so largely indulged in by Afra- mericans, are holding the center of the stage for the next five or six weeks. The national fraternal and religious orders are paying thou- sands of dollars to the railroads, in order to meet in selected cities and talk. More “hot air” is thrust upon the public each July and August throu- gh these conventions than is oc- casioned by climatic conditions. Many delegates to these many con- ventions merely convene for the purpose of socializing and fratern- izing. Others, those charged with the responsibility of arranging these social affairs each year, re- elect officers, count money, charge and countercharge dishonesty, pay railroad fares, hotel bills, “cuss” eee wed July 26, 193 and discuss, and generally do not! ing. i If the national fraternal and ligious izations would dive 10 per @ent.of the money yearly on‘ténventions to’ the buil ing of educational institutions economic ‘efiterprises, the rac! equality for which we strive woul not be so ,far distant.

By way of consolation, it might be said that he has done little to justify the faith shown in him by any citizen, be he black, yellow, white or red. As the nation's chief executive, Mr. Hoover has been a rather poor engineer. The first few months of his regime was little worse than that of most presidents. It was not until the Parker case came up that he showed his true colors. Then he attempted to charge the combined opposition of the Negro and labor and was made to appear as ridiculous as Don Quixote with knightly raiment charging the windmills of Spain. More recent is the Gold Star mother case. Not content with sending the mothers of black boys across to Europe in separate ships, the Hoover administration went a step further and shipped them across in freight vessels. It is surprising that these mothers were not given tags and sent across the ocean on cattle ships. The only bright spot of the regime has been the President's avowed intention of getting the American marines out of Haiti sometime prior to judgment day. Yet even in that he has shown discrimination by sending out a main and a jim crow commission. And when Moton's group came back, they were forced to take exceedingly poor quarters on a crowded ship, even though they had made known to the government their intention of returning ten days before they left Haiti. To top it all, Hoover has appointed Carl Colvin, white, head of the U. S. manned agricultural college. It was Colvin who was responsible for many of the offensive policies of Dr. George Freeman, white, ousted educational expert. Colvin's resignation had been demanded by the Haitin Minister of Education before his recent promotion. It is true that Mr. Hoover has made two outstanding appointments. And it is equally true that he made these only in an effort to placate Negro citizens who rose up in arms against the proposed Parker appointment. There are approximately two years before the Republican convention will be held again. During that period Mr. Hoover has a chance to regain a little of his lost prestige with black voters, but in view of his record THE AMERICAN believes that there will be more blunders, or, at best, complete silence on those issues effecting Aframericans. "ONWARD, CAUCASIAN CRUSADERS!" The Caucasian Crusaders, latest mental monstrosity of Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard William J. Simmons, with which he hopes to make another fortune from the racial fears of gnat-minded whites, is starting off with a representative group of backers at least. For legislative purposes it is good to have a member in congress so William Schley Howard, who has been there, joined, as did Robert Ramsteck, who is there now from Georgia. Mr. Ramsteck is described as a criminal lawyer, although it is not definitely known whether the word "criminal" refers to his practice or to his character. Sam Small, an editor, is also one of the select crew. He will probably be used for the publicity that does not appear in the humorous columns of intelligent newspapers. Dr. Frank Eskridge will probably aid in the amputation of dollars from the bankrolls, if any, of his gullible white brethren and Sheriff James I. Lowry, another member, will probably bring in subjects for Caucasian Crusader seances. But the most significant member of the whole group is Edward F. Bond, undertaker. When the Ku Klux Klan died recently, its body was kicked around and in general maltreated by even some of its former members. A good mortician can get rid of such things in a hurry. Mr. Bond can cremate it and save its parents much of the embarrassment encountered by the Ku Klux Klouts in Indiana and elsewhere. In fact, it would be better to bury it in its infancy and take no chances.

Looking Back Old Files of Gary American Reveal Many Interesting Things Which Happened LOOKING BACK (August 3, 1928 Issue) Working quietly under orders of the school board, a score of carpenters and wreckers were still at work today tearing down the portable buildings which housed the Virginia street school at 15th Avenue. Miss Betty Young, 2121 Broadway left Wednesday for her home in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she will visit her parents. From there she will go to Idlewood, Michigan, and will return in two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Fields of San Springs, Oklahoma, spent a week in the city visiting their sister and rother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bates, prominent in social and church circles. Mr. Fields teaches in San Springs, and is passing through enroute to Detroit and New York. Mr. Fields is a former classmate of Nelson Woodley, popular instructor of science at the Virginia street school. POLICE DRAG-NET Will Brown, 39, address unknown, was arrested Sunday night in a drunken stupor at 15th and Washington streets by officers Yanitor and Burbas. He was fined $30 and sentenced to 10 days in the city jail; not being able to pay the fine, Brown was sent to the city jail for 40 days. Fight on Beach, Jailed John Payne, 32, and William McKinley, 47, both living at Pine Beach, became over-excited in their hilarity last Saturday during the Elk's three day celebration at that popular lake front resort, and became involved in a fistic combat. Both were charged with assault and battery and sentenced to 11 days in the city jail. License Plates Mixed; Car "Arrested" Joe Davis, 32, 1608 Vermont, was driving along Broadway last Sunday and as he reached 15th avenue he was stopped by Sergt. Costigan, who questioned him concerning his reasons for having one Indiana and one Michigan license plate. Davis' excuse was that his other Indiana plate had been stolen, and replaced with the Michigan plate. The excuse partially satisfied Sergt. Costigan, as Davis was released, but the car was sent to the police garage for further investigation.

To those who view the race is political progress only by the num- of Negroes appointed to responsible or flowery-titled positions exception will be taken to the above statement. This column, this week, is not referring to appointments, however, but to elective positions, secured through competitive efforts and by the votes of all races. At this time it can be definitely predicted that the Negro Press through-out the country in their issue of November 8 will be heralding the victory of two race men to positions never before held by them and at a salary greater than that now received by any elective colored official in the country. Therefore it is fitting that this column should at this time digest the facts that brings this victory and honor within reach. Harlem, the unofficial, but naturally known district of New York City in which two hundred thousand of our race dwell, is to have two new municipal court judges. For a generation our people have talked about having a colored judge in Harlem and for ten years our assemblymen have fought for the passage of a bill that would bring this about. In 1920 our John Clifford Hawks, republican assemblyman from the 21st assembly district (1919-20-21) introduced a Municipal Court Bill that would create a new court district and make it possible for us to elect a race man. But this bill died in committee. Again in 1921 he introduced another bill which met the same fate through political manoeuvering. In 1925 we had a little better luck. Our Pope B. Billups, then republican assemblyman from the 21st assembly district and it passed both houses only to be vetoed by the Governor. Francis E. Rivers, one of our two colored assemblymen from Harlem, renewed the battle in the legislative halls at Albany, and last March was successful in having his bill pass both houses of the legislature. A few weeks ago Governor Roosevelt signed this bill, thus creating a law that will make the 10th Municipal Court District of New York, out of a portion of the old 7th district. He was arrested by plain-clothes officers Fields and Smith last Saturday, and charged with violation of the state liquor law; whereupon, the judge fined him $100 and sentenced him to 35 days in the city jil, being unable to pay the fine, he must remain there 175 days. Williams chose the latter.

Come in and talk with is enough to start you. National Bank --- The legal boundries of this new district are, on the north, 155th street; on the east, 5th avenue; on the south, 110th street, and on the west, St. Nicholas avenue from 155th to 125th street, thence easterly to 8th avenue, south to 114th street, then east to 7th avenue, south to 110th street. To those who know their Harlem and by that meaning the colored district of New York City, no better description of its boundry could be given than that that creating the new 10th municipal Court District. To secure the support of his fellow New York members of the Assembly, Mr. Rivers, sweetened his bill a bit which made it a good tonic for the other Assemblymen. Instead of sponsoring a bill that would obviously react only to the benefit of the Negro, he specified in his bill for the creation of eight new Municipal Court justices, only two of which, however, were to be in the court district. Thus he not only made it possible for a colored man to be elected judge in Harlem, but for two of them to be so elected and at the same time the other assemblymen (white) were thankful for an opportunity creating six new judges for them. This very aptly proves that to reap a benefit we must also benefit or offer to benefit the whites with whom we must co-operate. These elective judges will serve a term of seven years and receive an annual salary of $12,000. There are no elective offices at present held by us that carry a salary exceeding $10,000 and that only to Oscar DePriest, Congressman from the first Illinois Congressional District and to Judge Albert B. George of the Municipal court in Chicago. In New York and Harlem especially our race receives equal courtesy and recognition from the two leading political parties and in the new 10th Municipal District the race will have suitable candidates on both tickets and two victories for us will be won on November 4th next.

It is planned to compile and publish the several papers in a single volume that will be available at nominal cost to persons interested in education among Negroes. LAWYERS HERE CLAIM LEADERS INCITING RIOTS (Continued from Page One) bud, the park has been filled each night this week with Negroes from all walks of life. Although a racial clash has been averted, the condition is still critical. A large detail of police is at the park constantly to preserve order. A tension that existed Monday night, the first appearance of the race in large numbers, is not now so pronounced. There is present, however, the tendency to band together in racial groups and "wait." Black and white children play together on the swings. There seems to be no inharmony here except when the white children are told by their elders to monopolize a particular piece of playground equipment. This has been broken up so far. A meeting is scheduled for tonight between representative members of the white group and a committee of Negroes headed by Joseph Pitts, N. A. A. C. P. president. Subscribe for the Gary American.

"The House of Green Lamps," "Green Fire," and other widely read articles EDITORIAL NOTE: Joseph F. Johnson became a bandit when he found his mother's body burned at the stake by people of her own race who falsely accused her of shielding a fugitive. The old home place was taken from Johnson; he could not obtain work, and there were no two streets of choice. His exploits rivaled those of Jesse James—his cleverness, bravery and gallantry stand out like beacon lights. He was kind to women and children, risking his life for them many times, and he never killed a person in his entire career, although he was an expert shot, quick as a blue streak and fearless. The initial article was printed in the Illustrated Feature Section some time ago. This is a second article by the same author. A MOVEMENT is now under way near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, by farmers, to seek the treasure it is thought Joseph F. Johnson, colored super-bandit and gallant gentleman, buried prior to the ending of his career by Samuel Millet, hired gunman. Approximately eighteen thousand dollars lie buried somewhere near the Haunted Rock of Dutchtown, secreted by the king of bandits because of its weight and because he was traveling light. At this particular time in his life, Joe was hotly pursued by unrelenting stalkers determined to kill him on sight. About five hours before Joe buried his loot he walked steadily into a bank at Whitewater, Missouri, on one of his sole exploits, threw his gun down on the lone cashier, Avery T. Anderson, and said: "You understand my business here, of course?" The cashier nodded. "A blind man could feel it with his cane," he retaliated. "I'm in a hurry," Johnson insinuated, "where's the money?" "Most of it's stacked here on the desk," Anderson replied. "Will you come around here for it or shall I shove it through the hole in the cage?" A AGED GRANDSON of the famous Steel, trusted companion and friend of Joseph F. Johnson. Johnson laughed. "I appreciate service," he countered. "Your's is an offer that I can hardly resist. Suppose you shove it through the hole." He whistled while he waited for Anderson to dump the money into a tan leather satchel that he had brought along, and as he whistled, he lounged leisurely with an elbow on the fence that ran from the door to the cashier's cage. However, his blue-barreled revolver was ready for instant use. "Here you are," Anderson said, shoving the sack through the opening in the twisted wire. "Now I suppose you'll go on your way." Johnson chuckled. "Of course," he corroborated, "you've been decent to me, so why should I be otherwise to you?" "Johnson," Anderson expostulated, "you're a decent sort of cuss.

"What you got in them bags?" he inquired with an attempt at casualness. Anderson lit a cigar and passed the box through the hole. "Have one," he invited. Johnson smilingly declined, saying, "One hand is holding the money and the other my gun. I might have to break my record." The cashier grinned. "It's quite NIGHT OF of a Foolish Girl Who T The Gary American possible that you will," he retorted coolly. "We've got some hard riders and good shooters in Whitewater." At the door Johnson turned and looked back at Anderson. It would have been, for him, a simple enough matter to have split Anderson's head open with a bullet, although no such sinister thought penetrated his mind. "Good luck!" he called. The cashier waved his hand. Joseph F. Johnson strode casually, almost indifferently, from the entrance of the frame building. At a hitching rack, unfastened, stood his faithful mount, Steel. The animal pawed the sun-baked ground. Joe sprang into the saddle and vanished in a whirl of dust. He cantered round the bend in the road a hundred yards west of the bank. The moment he was out of sight of the institution he heard the blunt clang of a hand-bell. Cashier Anderson had made good his threat. So Joe put spurs to Steel, although there was, perhaps, slight necessity for this, for the horse understood him as few men did. Steel was away like a hissing rifle ball.

It was sundown that evening when Johnson pulled up at the washed-out bridge across Lecroix creek, baffled because of the treacherous creek bottom. He decided, however, to return a few miles down the road to a farmhouse he had passed, hoping to spend the night there. It wasn't that he doubted Steel's ability to ford the stream, rather it was because of the danger of quick sand, for he had heard somewhere that Lecroix creek, at the edge of Dutchtown, was known as the "burial ground." It was even reputed to contain the bones of an entire family that had attempted to MADNESS thought She Knew What S cross it in a covered wagon. Johnson had, two hours earlier, left his pursuers miles behind and did not experience any qualms regarding his safety in that direction. Surely he did have a fast horse. Steel was as swift as a whanging arrow. Before pulling away from the river bank, he dismounted, transferred the money, a large portion of which was in silver, to his saddle bags, flung the satchel in the river, and began to retrace his trail. At the farmhouse, without dismounting, he hailed a colored man who was sprawled on the low-roofed porch. "What's the chance to spend the night?" he politely interrogated. "Who are you, feller?" the farmer wanted to know. Johnson tossed him the first name that came into his mind. "I already got a feller here," the farmer commented. "He's got my only spare room." Johnson dismounted and approached the man, holding to his bridle reins. "I'll pay you well to feed my horse," he coaxed. The farmer rose lazily. "That can be done, I reckon."

"What you got in them bags?" he inquired with an attempt at casualness. "Oh, just a few collars and things," Johnson replied. "A feller has to watch his appearance some." "No," Johnson admitted quickly, "and I'm powerfully hungry." The farmer scratched his chin meditatively.

"Mandy," Radford called to a goodlooking girl who inobtrusively appeared in the kitchen door, "we go another mouth to feed, so set an extra plate." The girl vanished noiselessly.

"Them's right nice saddle-bags," Radford exclaimed abruptly. "Mind me lookin' at 'em?" Johnson shook his head at the interrogation. Then he whistled. A second later, as he was about to pass over the bags apparently for inspection, there came a violent thud of hoofs crashing against the side of the barn twenty or thirty yards away. "Hell," he vouchsafed concernedly, rising and throwing the bags back over his shoulder, "that's my horse," and he hurried towards the barn with the farmer trailing disgustedly in his wake, no doubt wondering why Johnson had whistled.

By DONN BRYAN Jim Anderson stole the love of an innocent girl and eight thousand dollars from his employer. He fled to an island cave and remained hidden for four years; returned, saw the girl who was still waiting; left her again when the police authorities learned of his presence in town; drifted to California, where he served twelve years in prison; came back once more to the girl who was still waiting, then brought death to both her and himself. The strangest part of this story, perhaps, lies submerged in the fact that the girl still waited for him to come back to her, despite the fact that she was one of the most popular girls in the social set of her town. Such is the account of the love affair of a modern Count of Monte Cristo, Jim Anderson and Opal Thorpe, his trusting and faithful sweetheart whose patience was unlimited. They called Jim Anderson the modern Count of Monte Cristo because he hid in a cave which extended out into the water, because he spent twelve years in jail, and because he returned and freely spent the fortune stolen from his employer. Deliberately thieving eight thousand dollars from the man who has played his confidence in one is considered a rascally crime today,—so it was then; but the tender love affair of this criminal, his desire to protect the woman of his heart at the cost of his own life, and the gentle way in which he treated her, perhaps serves to lighten this dark stain in the man's life. There was a fine side to Jim Anderson which he gallantly demonstrated before he died. Jim Anderson met Opal Thorpe when his employer, Brand Mathews, wealthy farmer, sent him to his neighbor's house to pay a debt of eight thousand in cash. This was not an uncommon custom in those days, nor was it strange that Mathews trusted Jim, his able colored assistant. However, Jim had planned the theft sometime before it actually occurred. It was in the midst of sweltering June weather, and he had made several trips to the water jug in the corner of the field. Hot beads of perspiration made him exceedingly uncomfortable, and his temples throbbed. He had a decent job. His wages were forty dollars a month and his board, and a fine horse to ride whenever he wished; moreover, he could draw upon his wages in advance if he found it necessary. But, just the same, he felt in need of travel, so he thought he ought to get away and see the world. The presence of $8,000 in a tan leather satchel was too great a temptation for him. Presently he decided not to wait until he had sufficient bank account, but to go at once. It was a moonlight night, with wild flowers growing alongside the road, and green shrubbery clinging to the rail fences. Rail fences are still common in Missouri, notwithstanding the fact that this incident happened sixteen years ago. Sauntering along slowly with the satchel in his hand, gave Jim plenty of time to complete his plan. He reached the white house, however, without having definitely contrived every step.

There was a light burning in the kitchen door. He walked up to this, and held the satchel behind him. At this moment he met Opal Thorpe. She came to the door and cheerfully offered him a chair. He told her that he had just dropped in for a glass of water,—a logical excuse, certainly, inasmuch as they owned the best well at this house for forty miles around. Opal forthwith brought Jim a glass filled with refreshing cold well water. He drained the glass of its contents. Then they talked. Almost immediately—they fell in love. Neither one knew it then, of course, but in the dim and not distant tomorrow, they both were to learn of the sincerity and the gravity of that love. Two hours passed swiftly. Jim blissfully forgot the tan satchel he had hidden at the side of the house. He had found a new interest in life. "I'm coming back to see you, Opal, girl," he declared, as he made ready to depart. They were standing in a field knee deep in pretty clover blossoms. The rich, warm air was laden with a perfume of the night—a perfume of unrestrained wild beauty. "I'm coming back to see you, again. Don't forget, Opal." "I reckon you ain't lyin', are you, Jim?" Opal murmured, nestling closely in his embrace. "We've only known each other a couple of hours but I feel that I've known you all my life. But maybe you don't feel that way." He told her that he did, and when they parted it was with the understanding that he was to see her again, that they were to meet in that field, near a rustic footbridge, covered with honeysuckles. There was one thing that Jim did do, however, that was strictly honest—he made the appointment for an indefinite time, and said that he would signal her some night by calling like a whippoorwill. He said that it might be a week, and it might be longer. Anyhow, Opal said that she would be waiting. Opal waited. Jim forget the satchel until he was ready to go. He had to return to the house for it. This absentmindedness indicates that he was really in love with his courteous hostess. His sub-conscious mind dictated to him during his few moments with her, and there beat against the back of his brain the stern realization that he had already committed a crime and wouldn't be able to see Opal again perhaps in many moons. It is, therefore, his honesty and gentleness all the way through with the girl who found his heart in such a brief fashion, that redeems his otherwise blameworthy life. Jim returned to town, entered a poker game and lost one thousand dollars of nis stolen fortune. At three o'clock in the morning word came to him that Mathews was looking for him, and he knew he was in a culde-sac, from which there was leading not a single avenue of escape. He had, he thought, been a fool for not escaping when he had a chance, the night before. There was a river lamplighter in the poker party. He took Jim to one side and told him about the old cave near the Devil's Backbone. Furthermore, he explained that, should Jim ever find himself in need of a friend, he would be that party. Not only would he row him out to the cave in the Mississippi River, but he would keep him well supplied with food also. Then when Jim was ready to make a dash for freedom, he would gladly row him back again, and see that he "received a decent break." All these services de-luxe, the riverman declared, would cost him only one thousand dollars. "And safety at even that price," he added bluntly, "was cheap." Jim nodded his head. To be sure it was. And he was aware that he was going to be greatly in need of the cave's shelter before the sun rose the following morning. So he made the deal. With the riverman he fled through an alley from the cardroom of the saloon, and they reached the river front without molestation. However, they passed two policemen walking down the middle of the street with rifles in their hands. "It'll be the dogs next," Jim's companion whispered. Jim spent four years in that cave, and the only face he saw was that of the riverman who kept his word good.

He did not stop until he had reached the house where he had left Opal. He crawled through the deep clover on his stomach, then called into the night like a whippoorwill. While he waited there for her to come to him, knowing that she would, he heard night birds answering his call; heard mating calls; low, piping notes of hidden artists. There was, he vowed, nothing like love. "I have waited for you for four years," Opal said with tears in her eyes, "and now that you are here, I don't know what to say." They said nothing for a few minutes—just stood off and gazed at each other in the grip of love's enchantment. Then she suddenly grew sober. She told him that he musn't tarry there long. They were searching for him. They had never ceased to look for him. They would never stop as long as he lived. "Good-bye," he told her an hour later. And with a final embrace, and a last warm kiss, he was away, stealing surreptitiously through the darkness, just as he had come to her. They did not meet again for twelve years. Jim drifted to California, where he again got into serious trouble. Here he served a prison term. But just as soon as his time was up, he returned to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to see Opal. He reached her side without molestation. But he was not conscious of being followed.

Where once there had been clover blossoms, there was ermine now. A cold wind blew out of the mouth of the Arctic North. It stung like a lash. However, Jim knew that if Opal heard his call she would come to him. So he once again imitated a whippoorwill. The notes had scarcely faded when he saw the square of yellow light which was the open kitchen door. And when she joined him, he broke down and cried like a baby—despite his strength, he was as a weakling in the presence of the woman who was sacred to him. "You are the same to me as God," he whispered, "and I cannot live without you." They walked down to the rustic bridge. Standing there, leaning against the railing, they confessed their sincere love for each other, and Opal consented to go away with him. He should have sent her to the house earlier, however, because by doing that, he would have saved her life. The coward, crouching in the winter night, had lost his nerve and was afraid of Jim Anderson, so, without a word of warning, he shot the lovers. Their bodies tumbled off the rustic bridge on to the sheet of ice below.

GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER EIGHT THE JET-BLACK GOD Prof. Waldemar Komffort's studio of voice was the gathering place of all those who desired to have the advantages of his superlative instruction. Singers who had already made their mark on the concert stage and whose names appeared in large type in the metropolitan newspapers, came there for additional training. Prof. Komffort's studio was world famous, and in the course of the afternoon one might meet there any number of great celebrities of the musical world. It was exceedingly fortunate that Verna had been able to have Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne to have her enrolled as a pupil and pay for her tuition. Otherwise she would not have been able to get the training afforded because of the tremendous expense involved. Two afternoons a week she came for a single half hour which cost twenty dollars. Prof. Komffort was unusually attentive to her. A short, bewhiskered little man who made numerous gesticulations, talked interminably, rolled his eyes and flew into a rage at the slightest mistake, he immediately succumbed to Verna's charm and was more polite to her than to many of the great concert singers who took his instruction. She had been attending the studio only three weeks when the fussy little man made the inevitable advances. Would she go to dinner with him? Would she permit him to take her to the opera? Would she accept a box of candy? Each day there was a new request put more earnestly than before. Verna Learns the Game "What shall I do?" she finally asked Margot. "I don't want to offend him, Margot, but I really don't want to be going about with him. In the first place, he's too old and, in the next place, he's not colored and that would make it extremely embarrassing." 'I understand,' said Margot, comfortingly, "Still I don't think there would be any harm in going to dinner with him at one of the restaurants here in the village or to the opera. After all, Verna, you must remember that Waldemar Komffort, ugly and funny as he is, is a great power in the musical world. By being nice to him you may attain success much quicker than you would otherwise. "We have to use our heads in this world, Verna, and sometimes we must do things that are distasteful. Get me right, now. I do not mean that you should be indiscreet; I merely mean that you should be courteous and tactful. Most women never get anywhere in life, Verna, because they do not use tact.

She accepts, and returns home at their distance, my dear, without insulting them or making them feel cheap." "Oh, I thank you so much, Margot. You have been such a help to me," said Verna, placing her hand on the white girl's shoulder. "I don't know what I should have done without you all alone in this great city, knowing no one." "It was a delight and a pleasure to have you come and to help you, Verna dear," Margot replied. "You have proved yourself every inch a lady and a credit to my judgment of character. Now, tell me, how are you getting on with Count de Raalbonne?" "He's worrying me more than Prof. Komffort. You see he has more time at his disposal than Prof. Komffort and, consequently, it is harder to escape him. He is always asking me to go riding in the country with him, to come to his apartment, to go abroad, and a thousand and one other things. I always have to plead business but I can see he is getting tired of that. I don't know how I can keep on avoiding him, Margot. After all, you know, he is paying my tuition and so I am in his debt." Margot Yancey was thoughtful for several seconds. She had come to love Verna Nash, as had everybody els in the artistic set of Greenwich Village. She didn't want to see the colored girl get into any difficulties from which it would be difficult to extricate her. And yet she realized that it would not be very easy to avoid both Prof. Komffort and Count de Raalbonne, whom she knew to be two persistent suitors of beautiful women. To them, Verna was an exotic creature, a rare flower to be plucked and then cast aside when withered. "You must meet Wendell Dalton, Verna," she blurted out suddenly. "He'll appreciate knowing you and I know you'll share the feeling. He is one of the finest and most accomplished young men I know, white or black, and certainly a credit to his race." "Do you mean the chap who wrote 'The Ethiopian Love Song'?" asked Verna, a little excitedly. "Yes, I'll call him up and see when he can come down. We'll 'throw' a party as an excuse." Margot reached for the telephone and called a number uptown. Three evenings later, the party was held. Among those present were Fred Watkins, Will Rondoski, Prof. Komffort, Count de Raalbonne, Augustina de Silva, the great contralto, Myrtle von Bissen, the novelist, Claire Fancher, the beautiful blue-eyed little actress, and a number of others of equal prominence.

She was tugging at her anchor chains like a mad dog. Oh, yes, my friends, we felt much better—and safer—once we were aboard the Bettie B!" Neither Miles nor I ventured any comment at the time, so the former detective leaned comfortably back and began to unfold this vivid tale. As soon as Wade was safely over the rail, Holcomb turned to the huge seaman who had heaved the rope ladder to them. "What's wrong?" he flung at him. "Watchman ashore reported shooting out here." "Quick! follow me!" he gasped breathlessly, and without another word he swung around in the strong wind and headed back along the deck, the detectives plunging after him. He dodged around a bulkhead. The next moment he was leading them swiftly down steep steps and into the inviting warmth of a low-ceilinged saloon, a seagoing living room, library, and music room combined—softly shaded electrics, deep divans, frescoed walls. The seaman disappeared through a door. The officers followed briskly. At the far end of the dimly illuminated companionway, he flung open a door and they were brought abruptly face to face with the ghastly sight— "Ugh!" "Damn!"

It was his theory that the murderer was making his escape in it, though I'd say only a fool would try that on a night like this. Anyway, Mr. Nelson thought he saw something, and emptied his revolver over the port side." "Anyone missing?" "Not one." "Where are the other members of the party?" "In their staterooms up fo'ard. I had to have young Collins and Mr. Nelson locked in. They almost went crazy. The ladies promised to remain in their rooms until daylight. Now—" Suddenly Ricks stopped talking. Kolcomb urged him on gently. "But surely, Mr. Ricks," he drawled, "you have something more to say?" "you have something more to say?" Heedless of the words, Ricks swung around, then crept stealthily toward the door and pulled it open. Then satisfied—yet apparently surprised—that no one was eavesdropping there, he closed it again and came back toward the officers, talking in whispers.

"It started blowing outside about two o'clock," he explained, "and, uneasy, I decided to get up and stand by the man on watch.

"I plead guilty," he said, flashing his white teeth in a boyish grin and walking to the baby grand piano. Verna was all excited as his long, black fingers scampered over the keyboard and brought from it weird, exotic chords and strains that brought visions of great palms nodding over a crescent-shaped beach carpeted with white sand. Then he struck the first bar of his "Ethiopian Love Song" and she lost all of her sensitiveness, her temporary stage fright, her nervousness, and from her throat poured such tones as fairly electrified the little assemblage. A Triumph They sat silent, transfixed until the last note had died and, then as a body, they rose and surrounded her, shouting their congratulations. "Eet ees a mos' remarkable performance; a mos' remarkable transformation," cried Count de Raalbonne, glowing down upon her. "Wonderful! You prove that you have profited from Professair Komffort's instruction." The others echoed his words, especially Prof. Komffort, who glowed and blustered with praise, taking advantage of the situation to press her arm very gently and look appealingly into her eyes. However, it was the praise of Wendell Dalton, for which she found herself waiting. She realized it and her cheeks burned. She fought down this sudden and strange emotion, but, despite her will-power, she caught herself looking in his direction, awaiting his commendation. She found herself wanting it more than anything else in the world. What was the matter with her? she asked herself. Why was she so interested in a man whom she had not seen before this evening? Finally, the composer, with difficulty, extricated himself from the group of women who had surrounded him, congratulating him on the beauty of the song, and came over to where Verna was the center of a worshipful bevy of men. "I think it is quite fitting," he said, edging his way to her side, "that Miss Nash and I should have the next dance together, since we seem to have sung and played to the satisfaction of all of you. What do you say, Miss Nash?" She nodded her assent and they swept off gracefully in each other's arms. It was a dreamy waltz, "The Beautiful Blue Danube," and for the occasion, the lights were lowered, which made the atmosphere eerily romantic. He was as light as a feather on his feet, and danced like a professional. She admitted to herself, with a feeling of shame and guilt, that she would like to waltz in this wonderful man's arms forever and ever. "I think your rendition of my song was wonderful, Miss Nash," he said finally, when she had almost despaired of hearing a word of praise from his lips. "You have the most wonderful control of your voice. You've certainly been well trained, and I must say that it would be a great pleasure to accompany you, if I might, at your first recital." The Lunch Engagement "But I hadn't thought of any recital yet," she gasped, panicky, at he thought. "You'd ought to," he said shortly, as the piece ended. "You show wonderful promise, in my humble opinion. Suppose you come to my studio next week and we'll run over some songs that I think are well adapted for your voice." "I'd love to," she almost whispered, "but I have two more lessons with Prof. Komffort before I can take up anything like that." "Well, all right then," he replied, "but that doesnt prevent you from accepting my invitation to lunch tomorrow." "But you haven't invited me yet," she said coquettishly.

He had been in closer places than this and won by generalship. "Sure," he conceded. "I'm always accommodating." He swung the saddle bags down off of his shoulders, made as if to present them to Radford, and, as the other reached out, with his free hand, Johnson flashed his own gun, which barked instantly. The latter was an expert gunman, quicker than a lion's striking paw, and Radford's weapon thudded against the ground. His wrist had been ripped open by Johnson's bullet. This, as many times before, demonstrated the super-bandit's decency of character. He had never yet slain an opponent. Johnson laughed, leaped into the saddle, which he had hastily girded on Steel, and galloped out of the yard. He knew that he had put his foot in it. The weight of the saddlebags bothered Steel. Knowing that he would have to travel fast now, he decided to bury the money and come back after it when there was less danger. Therefore he looked about for a place. When he came to the haunted rock at Dutchtown he hastily interred the money loosely in a hole that he dug out with the long blade of his hunt- A Be sure to ask for the combination treatment--- Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap.

Before he ran into a fusillade of shots from the posse that met him halfway between Dutchtown and Whitewater, he scribbled down the location of the money on one of the flaps of his saddle-bag. Johnson once more eluded the posse. He escaped completely and crossed over into Illinois, leaving Missouri behind him, for no horse could hope to keep up with Steel. The saddle-bag falling into the hands of Martin Hinshaw, senior, at an express company sale, is responsible for the present organization of treasure seeking parties. Hinshaw, junior, is leading the hunters, as his father is an invalid, and has finally given up the hope he entertained for fifteen years of finding the treasure himself, surprising everyone by suddenly producing the saddle-bag which he had so carefully concealed all these years. Unless an unknown person has beaten the treasure-seekers to the money that the bandit king hid there at Dutchtown, they will profit considerably. That, however, remains for the future to disclose. *** This is the second of a series of articles about Joseph F. Johnson, by Donn Bryan, authorized biographer.

"Well, after that, you see, we just put two and two together and figured that the thing Mr. Collins brought in Cape Town must have been stolen from one of the inland tribes.

Suddenly a woman stood framed there—about thirty, brown, almost pretty—but for the impudent sparkle in her black eyes. Ricks doffed his hat. "Why, Miss Smithson," he exclaimed, "I thought you were in your stateroom." Now, isn't that too bad?" she replied, calmly. "Well, the joke is on you, Mr. Ricks; for I've been eavesdropping on you."

Continued from Page Five flitting across his grave, dark countenance. The next day at noon Verna was disturbed from a morning of the most rhapsodical day dreams by the sounding of a musical automobile horn outside the house. She raced downstairs while Margot smiled knowingly, opened the door and saw Wendell Dalton, lounging indolently in a blue sports roadster that seemed to be nearly a half block long. "Am I on time?" he asked, apparently concerned about it. "Yes, you are," Verna replied, her heart beating rapidly. "I'm the one that's not ready but I will be soon. Wait until I get my coat." Three minutes later they were speeding toward Harlem. Wendell explained that they were going to have lunch at Tabb's Grill at 140th Street and Lenox Avenue. The thought thrilled Verna. She had never yet been in Harlem, and had not met any colored people at all, except Wendell Dalton, since coming to New York City. As they swept out of Central Park and sped up Seventh Avenue, it made her feel at home once more to see so many well-dressed Negroes strolling. Did Wendell Really Like Her? "Before we eat," Wendell announced, "I think I'd better show you something of the section since you've never been up here before." So they went up one street and down the other; up to 155th Street and back down to 110th; Lenox Avenue, St. Nicholas Avenue, Fifth Avenue, 135th Street and the curbstone market on Eighth Avenue; the palatial apartments on "Sugar Hill" and the mansions of the elite on West 139th Street. It was all new and amazing to Verna, who had never seen Negroes living in anything but the most mediocre surroundings. What Wendell called the slums of Harlem, seemed to her to be the last word in sanitation compared to Billy Goat Lane in her home-town of Norrisburg. The sight-seeing trip gave her a new appreciation of the progress of her people, a pride of race that heretofore had only faintly been hers. DANIEL L.

Verna was on the verge of saying "How romantic!" but she caught herself. Certainly there was nothing in Wendell Dalton's deportment that would justify such an ecstatic exclamation. He had merely been a kindly, courteous, attentive host. Verna wondered at this, too. With every other man she had known she could have expected some sort of proposal or suggestion by either word or look; but this tall, lean, black composer seemed rather mildly indifferent to her charms, although she had made up most painstakingly that morning and was wearing one of her smartest tailored dresses. Unlike other men who stole side glances at her, Wende.l treated her almost like a man friend. It aroused her interest and her curiosity; to him she seemed not irresistible and she wondered why. (To be continued next week) WARRING ON INSECTS An intensive war on insect pests will be conducted by the Boy Scouts of America this year, according to an announcement from their national offices in New York City. When it is considered that the Boy Scouts can enroll a force of nearly 850,000 willing workers, and enlist them under adequate leadership for any good cause, the war on pests promises to be of real service to the nation. The vanguard of the hosts fighting insect pests will be the Scouts of the Rural Scout division, boys living on farms and in the rural territory of America. They are spending the winter months in studying the habits of the pests which they are going to try and eliminate—the Japanese beetle, boll weevil, corn borer, codling moth, and Mediterranean fruit fly. Their purpose is to learn the habits of life of these harmful insects and then determine the best way to fight them. In the cities, other Scouts will work with health authorities in the control of the mosquito and common housefly, by elimination of breeding places and wholesale killing of the pests.

I have written this story with the hope that it will help some girl to determine the difference between love and heedless infatuation," says the author of this soul-stirring episode from her life. The image shows a woman standing in front of a curtain, holding it up with both hands. She is wearing a long dress with a lace-like pattern along the hem. The dress appears to be light-colored, possibly white or cream, and has a fitted silhouette. The woman's hair is dark and styled in a way that suggests a formal or semi-formal occasion. The background is dark, which contrasts with the light color of the dress. I wanted to know life, and I thought I had chosen the best way. dian, and was playing in a wellknown colored show at one of the theatres in town. In her daring manner, Billie had somehow met him; he accepted her invitation to the party. He soon began to ignore the rest of the girls for me. We danced together again and again. Oh, how he could dance! He had brown skin and glossy black hair. A dashing, dapper figure he was in his neat fitting brown suit. We were the center of attraction. I “What a price we some ldge!

Soon I was drunk with an unknown happiness and vanity. I forgot everything except the joy of nestling closely in the arms of my bronze hero. A BIG OPPORTUNITY WITH A SHOW "Peggie, you're the little golden flower. I'm searching for," he whispered to me, holding me closely during the dance. "You would be a treat for the eyes of Broadway. Trust me—and this time next month you'll be dancing in the bright lights. No kidding. I mean it, baby." In his charming manner, he painted the glorious future which awaited me. I had beauty; I had a good voice, and I had the gracefulness of a born dancer. And he could see no --- reason in the world why I should not make good on the stage. It was only necessary for him to say a word to Mr. Thomas, the manager of the show. They needed three new girls for the New York opening; this was my great chance to win success and fame in the bright lights of New York. *** My head was swimming in a haze of glory, when he asked me to go for a ride in his new roadster. He had just bought it that morning. I felt honored in being the first girl to ride in it. And there were countless other girls in the city, pretty girls worrying themselves sick in an effort to win an admiring glance from him. Under a beautiful moon, we rode through the fragrant air of the country hills. In a lonely road we halted. He drew me into his arms. I thrilled to the knowledge of a man's kiss the kiss of a man who knew what love we... I tried to forget that Dave still loved me; he was only a dull school boy. Jerry meant so much more. "I love you Peg," he murmured. "I'm going to be good to my little butter-cup." Frightened at his ardent love-making. I drew away from him.

JERRY SEEMED THE GREATEST FORCE IN MY LIFE "Let's go back. They'll miss us." I said nervously. "All right, sweet little girl," he replied, and turned the car back toward the city. I saw him every day after that first night. In the afternoons after school, he took me out on long rides into the country. I became obsessed with the desire to join the show. My school work meant little to me now. I wanted to see New York—and to be with Jerry. "Peg, you've nothing to be afraid of," he told me, the last afternoon he was in town. "I'm going to look out for you like a big brother. You'll never be sorry for taking this great chance." He had taken me to see Mr. Thomas. My appearance, and voice made a good impression. I was the type of girl he needed But I would have to do considerable hard practice on my singing and dancing. I thanked him, promising him that I would join the show in New York the following week. The show had a one-week's engagement in Pittsburgh. I wen't home to tell my parents of my good fortune. At my first word, their anger swept down upon me like a terrific hurricane. "You evil daughter of satan!" my father bellowed. "You've gone mad over this dirty, degrading stuff you see at the theatres. I'll tell you you're not going to the devil and bring disgrace upon me and your mother." I DARINGLY PLAN TO REBEL AGAINST MY PARENTS Mother was as furious as he was. I knew that I could never be able to make them realize that the theatre was not the devil's play ground. I slammed my books down upon the table, and rushed to my room. The tears of bitterness came in a gushing stream. I felt that my great opportunity to win success and fame was lost. Luck, however, was with me. Billie dropped in to get me to write her English theme. I had learned to depend upon Billie; she was game for anything. "Good gracious, honey!" she exclaimed after I had told her everything "Haven't lost all your nerve, have you? Use your pretty little bean. Jerry — Jerry'll help you." In a short time she had persuaded me to take the daring step. She dictated the note which I wrote to Jerry, telling him of my difficulties. She hurried down town to the theatre with it. An hour later, she called me on the telephone and told me that everything had been arranged as we had planned. Jerry would be waiting for me down the street, at one o'clock. I was going to escape with him! That afternoon I had drawn from the bank my savings fund of one hundred dollars. When twelve o'clock came, my suitcase was packed, and I was in bed, waiting for my parents to fall asleep. Everything wasa s still as death when I crept down the stairs, and slipped out of the house. Jerry was waiting for me, and Billie was with him. Dear little Billie wanted to make sure that I was all right! I fell into her arms, both of us kirsting into tears. I had to kiss her hurriedly; I had but little time to lose. As the roadster dashed forward, I opened my fingers to see what it was she had slipped into them. A ten dollar bill! I felt that I had left behind the best friend in the world. UNDER THE SPELL OF INFATUATION I LEAVE WITH JERRY "You're lovelier than ever tonight, baby," Jerry said as we turned into the main street. "And tonight's all ours," he added. Perhaps if I had fully understood what those words meant, I could have escaped his evil intentions before the car had shot out beyond the city limits. But, as it was, I was concerned about noticing only his handsome face, more fascinating now, because it was veiled in the purple haze of my rosy future. I did not awake from my dreams until I noticed that we had taken the opposite direction from Pittsburgh. It was then that the terrible fear took possession of me. "NJ need to get excited, baby," Jerry replied, laughing, when I cried out tiat we were on the wrong road. "We may go to Chicago, honey. I'm skipping the show. What does a show mean to me now? I've got you, and you're mine tonight." I saw Jerry—the kind-hearted, gentle Jerry—as he really was. And I hated him—hated him with a mad frenzy of bitterness. He had shrewdly won my heart wholly and completely for a purpose. I knew then that I would do anything, nothing was too desperate, before I would surrender to his last dastardly adventure. "Jerry. I can't go to Chicago with you!" I screamed. "Take me back home to my mother—please—please—" M words only had the effect of exciting his anger. The beast that lurked in his evil soul came to life.

"I HEARD JERRY'S TERRIFYING CRY OF AGONY" The low-slung roadster was now leaping through the air at a blinding rate of speed. It would be utter madness have attempted to reach safety by leapin; from it. Yet I made up my mind to fling myself into the darkness of the night. Anything to escape the evil grasp of the man at my side. I broke away from the arm he had around me, and was about to leap — when Fate intervened! Jerry miscalculated a sharp bend in the road; the dashing roadster leape' from the highway into the rocky embankment. A terrific smash of fiving splinters and glass! We were buried under the wreck. I heard Jerry's terrifying cry of agony. Then I was conscious of the piercing pains racking my body. Soon everything became black, and I sank into a deathly unconsciousness. "Oh, my poor child! You've come back to life. You're going to live!" I had opened my eyes to look into the the careworn, hysterical face of my mother. Weeks later, she told me how I had lingered at death's door for three weeks. It seemed almost like a miracle that I lived, with my whole body covered with terrible gashes and bruises. The doctors thought I was already dead when the car of tourists brought me back to the city. What a price we must sometimes pay for our knowledge! But I was glad to know that Mother could sincerely forgive me; and Dave still cared for me, sending me many of the beautiful flowers from his mother's flower-garden. Yet there is still one sore in my heart which can never completely heal. It is the memory of Jerry's painful death beneath the car that night. I can't help from feeling creadfully sad about it. I am sorry that he was not what he might have been. It almost breaks my heart to thin that a man with such noble possibilities took the wrong road down the broad plane of life. But the passing of years have brought happiness to me. "Peggie, how can I wait until June? I love you so!" Dave told me it seems bu. yesterday. We are going to be married in June. Billie, who is a musical comedy star now, is going to be my maid of honor. Today, five years since my accident, Dave and I are seniors in a northern university. I have his promise that my musical studies shall continue after our marriage. With great expectations, I look forward to my career and the happiness of the most wonderful man in the world. Tonight, I see before me a future of service and happiness—a worthy life which was almost destroyed in th wild dreams of a silly high school girl.
