WISEST RED HO CRACKS IN us r EVERY AMERICA ISSUE Senate Quiz May Include Vote Rights Observer Says Dynamite In Investigations Now Under Way Primary Elections Cause Senate Quiz Think Disfranchisement Will Be Investigated By High Officials NEW YORK CITY.—That there is political dynamite in Senator Nyv's investigation of Senatorial primary elections, is the conclusion of Mark Sullivan, Washington cor- respondent of the New York Her- ald-Tribune who bases his belief upon the prospect that the exclu- sion of Negroes from voting priv- ileges in the South may enter the field of inquiry. “Whether Senator Nye's investi- gations of Senatorial primaries will extend into Southern states is one of the most explosive questions of the campaign,” writes Mr. Sullivan in the Herald-Triibune of Septem- ber 17. “In it intense interest is taken by a group not usually Re- publicans, but rather to be de- scribed as Progressives and Rad- icals in Washington, New York and elsewhere. What this group has in mind is to use the Nye committee as a means to open up the very ex- plosive question of Negro partici- pation—or, more accurately, non- participation — in Democratic pri- maries in the South. That isssue, carried to the end to which some persons want to carry it, would question the right of at least ten Democratic Senators to their seats.” Quotes Seope Mr. Sullivan quotes the scope of the investigation ordered by the Senate as being, besides the exami- nation into improper expenditures, to cover “the use of any other means or influence which would not only be of public interest but which would aid the Senate in de- ciding any contest involving the right to a seat in the United States Senate.” He addds: “That lan- guage means, as respects Southern Democratic primaries, the partici- pation or non-participation of Ne- gro voters.” The immediate dynamite in the situation Mr. Sullivan discusses as follows: “The matter is acute just now, for two reasons.

So I'm shaking the course. Have you seen it drop out?” Befire Reggie could reply, there was a loud noise caused by the break of day. Our hero looked up and saw the pieces scattering all over the landscape. His attention was attracted o a rattling sound close at hand. “A rattlesnake!” he shouted in alarm, and then was sorry, for he found it was only the peewee golfer shak- ing his head. “Correction in that paragraph,” said the golfer. “I’m a she, and it should be written ‘shaking her head.” He looked close and found that she was correct. She was the kind of girl who would tell an ar- dent wooer that she could never be more than a brother to him. “It’s getting so it doesn't make much difference any more anyhow,” he said in an effort at apology. “I'm a tailor’s daughter, but I mever press a case,” she said, pout- ing. “I'm a good girl.

B Denies Story of Rift WithBucklind Brands Tale in Chicago Daily as False; He And Chief Friends A reported controversy between Chief of Police Stanley Bucklind and Justice of the Peace William Burrus, aired in the Wednesday edition of the Chicago Herald and Examiner, was entirely wrong, ac- cording to a statement made Thurs- day by Mr. Burrus. It was charged that the run-in occurred over the arrest of Oscar Nelson, 67, white, on a liquor charge. Jesse Evans, a Burrus constable, made the arrest. Buck- lind, in the news story, is alleged to have told Justice Burrus he was “through” using the city jail as a clearing house for prisoners ar- rested by the justice's officers on a John Doe warrant. No Arguments “I have known and worked with Chief Bucklind since 1917 and have not yet had a harsh word with him,” Justice Burrus stated. He said that the police head had called him up Tuesday night and inquired about the arrest of Nel- son, who is a railroad engineer, and the drunk charged placed against him. The chief asserted that the prisoner did not seem to be suffi- ciently intoxicated to be placed un- der arrest. Mr. Burrus then went to the city jail. He learned there that Nel- son was arrested because he made violent objections to being question- ed by a Negro officer. Nelson could go free, Justice Bur- rus said, if he apologized for his actions. This was done, and all three parted on the best of terms. KILLED IN FIGHT WITH COP ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Owen Wro- ten, 17-year-old youth, who fought @ gun duel to the death with Po- liceman A.

C.—A sordid love triangle in which the woman gave her husband's money to a young white boy was brought to light hare this week with the murder of the husband by the youth when the former learned of the infidelity of his wife and argued with her par- amour over her affections. The eternal triangle, possessing one “white side” and two darker ones, was composed of Eugene Canon, a 46-year-old farmer; his wife, Mary Belle, one year his jun- ior, and Wilbur Holley, a 23-year- old white youth, who was infatu- ated with Mrs. Canon. For months neighbors have ob- served young Holley visiting the Canon home and driving the auto- mobile while she delivered her “washing” each week. Rumor had it that the elderly woman lavished gifts of various values on her youthful and white lover while her husband struggled to make ends meet. The 46-year-old husband was shot down and killed by the white youth Sunday morning, following an ar- gument between the two men over the affections of the woman. At *Aroysktr @ sem BUI em) ISA Neighbors heard the shots. The body was found and the usual ver- dict of “killed by unknown parties’ was in the making. The investigating officers turned their suspicions to the home of Holley, where they found a dew- spattered shotgun, which had been recently fired. The calibre of the gun tallied with that from which the death-dealing shell had been fired and young Holley was placed under arrest. The youth at first denied that he had killed Canon, but under cross- examination confessed that he had fired the fatal shot. Testimony by the youth and his elderly sweetheart brought out the fact that on Saturday evening young Holley had gone with Mrs. Canon, as usual, to deliver several “washings.” En route home they bought a few drinks and took a ride to sober up a bit. In the meantime, the tired hus- band was awaiting his soulmate. She arrived about midnight in com- pany with her white lover. He up- braided both of them and threat- ened to kill the youth. Just as dawn was breaking Sun- day morning Canon was aroused by a noise outside and went to inves- tigate. As soon as Canon reached the doorsteps a shot was fired and he fell to the ground mortally wounded from a gunshot wound in- flicted by his wife's lover while she stood by the white youth's side. Holley was held, charged with murder in the first degree. The woman is being held as an accom- Plice. A study of the dead man's ef- fects revealed that he had a trifle more than $1,000 worth of life in- surance, of which his wife is named the beneficiary. *9 Jazzin’ The News (THE WEEK’S NEWS IN VERSE) By F.

Ex-Deputy Sheriff Sent to Penal Farm A fine of $350.00 and costs was the penalty imposed on William Hargroves, 43, 54 West 22nd avenue, former deputy sheriff, by Judge Herman Key, Tuesday, for carry- ing concealed weapons. Hargroves was arrested on September 3rd with a gun which had been report- ed stolen from Luther Moore, dep- uty sheriff, and was booked on charges of petit larceny and car- rying concealed weapons. He was discharged on the petit larceny charge. In default of fine, Hargroves was sent to the state penal farm to serve the equivalent in days. Last year in France, deaths ex- ceeded the number of births by 12,000. Cops Search for Auto Driver Dead 3 Months BALTIMORE.—A one-month search by poliice for a man dead since May 17 was revealed here this week. Baltimore county authorities have been searching for George Bates for an alleged automobile violation near Towson, Md., on August 10, past, which was three months after the man's death, according to a state- ment by his sister, Miss Marie Bates. In her statement to the police the young woman declared that her brother had not owned an automobile in the past three years.

Roland Hayes Not to Become French Citizen Boston Heads of Hayes Tours Receive Cable, Issue a Statement According to a statement issue: by the management of Roland Hayes at Symphony Hall, Boston the noted tenor is not going tc chi.nge hie citizenship of the United States for that of the French Re. public, as was so widely circulate in the press some weeks ago. The news of Mr. Hayes’ supposec intentions to make his home ir France was the outcome of an in. terview by a reporter when thé noted tenor was about to board 4 ship to sail abroad. The full text of the communica tion of Mr. Hayes and his Sym phony Hall management follows. A cable from Roland Hayes to his management in Boston refutes a rumor which has had some circulation to the effect that he intends to relinquish his American citizenship. The enble reads: ““T have no intention of chang- ing my American citizenship. I have never entertained such thought. My manifested inter- est in America and the philan- thropic work to which I devote practically the whole of the financial gain from my tours, namely for stuaent aid and the maintenance of an experimental farm in rural Georgia directed to the purpose of community uplift are of such import to me that an idea of the sort is be- yond my imagination.” — Sgd.

Thi: tour, one of his most extensive will include eastern and westert cities and parts of his native Soutt which he has never visited.—Man agement Roland Hayes. Seeks to Surprise Paramour; Is Slain Girl Climbs Tree to Her Lover’s Room ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Miss Mary Johnson, of Brown’s Wood, is dead and Louis Carr, her lover, is being held by police pending an investi- gation after the girl was found mortally wounded outside his win- dow. According to information, the girl visited the home of the man late at night and climbed a tree adjoining the house and was at- tempting to enter a window when Carr awoke and mistaking her for a burglar, shot her. Carr told authorities that he had taken the girl to her home and re- turned to his own at Yorktown, near Skidmore, and went to bed. It was some time later when he was aroused and fired the shot. The bullet shattered the window pane and penetrated the girl's brain. Death was instantaneous and the victim also broke an arme in the fall from the window. The girl had evidently returned to surprise her lover, but her prank caused her death. Decree New Jimcrow School for Elkhart ELKHART, Ind.—Differences be- tween Negro citizens and members of the Elkhart school board were sett'ed Friday with the announce- ment by the board that a school would be built exclusively for Ne- gro use. The dispute started at the open- ing of school this year when Negro children living on the South Side were refused admittance in the new Hawthorne school. They were or- dered to attend classes at the old South Side school. A committee headed by the Rev. I. C. Low, pastor of the African aMethodist church, appeared before the board to demand complete seg- regation of Negro children. Officer Takes “Bribe” Then Solves Theft White “Thrill Seeker” Loses Money in Vice Resort Brothel-Keeper Offers Bolden ‘Gift’ Cop Suspicious; Takes $25; Investigates; Arrests Two Because he attempted to_ bribe Detective John Bolden, Leslie Re- vere, 31, 1715 Adams, is being held by police authorities on charges of grand larceny and statutory delin- quency. Arraigned with Revere is Ruby Patterson, 27, 1901 Maryland. They are being held on charges pre- ferred by Pete Marcotte, white, 432 Washington street. / According to the information se- ‘cured by the police, Revere con- ducted a vice resort at the Adams street address. Sundey night his place was visited by Marcotte. He is alleged to have entered into im- ‘moral relations with the Patterson woman, an inmate of the vice re- sort. By Marcotte’s story to the police, he was intoxicated at the time of his visit to Revere’s home. After leaving the house he missed $200 but at first did not report the affair to the police. When it was reported Marcotte could not ell ex- actly where he lost his money. Bolden Offered Bribe Tuesday, Revere called Detective Bolden on the phone and told him he wanted to see him, Making an appointment, Revere met the de- tective at his home. It was then he told Bolden that he “had made some money” and wanted to give Bolden a “little present.” He gave Bolden $25. The detective accepted the money; then made a report to his captain. On the face of evi- dence, Revere’s story was connect- ed with Marcotte’s story and De- tectives Bolden and Fields began an investigation. Woman Arrested; Charges Filed The detectives again sought Re- vere and questioned him on_ the source of the money. Under se- vere questioning he admitted where he received the money, implicating the Patterson girl. She was then arrested. At first she denied the charges but later admitted getting the money from Marcotte while he was in her room. According to her statement, Marcotte made her a “present” of the $200. Some of the money was found on the person of Revere; some was found on the person of the Pat- terson girl. The remainder of the $200 was found in caches at the Adams street and Maryland street addresses. All of it was returned to Marcottte, and charges were filed against the man and woman. Here’s 4th Tale on Marion Lynching ‘Victims Had Business Deal With Deeter’ NEW YORK.—Charges that Sher- iff Jacob Campbell, of Marion, Indiana, not only knew of the plans to lynch Thomas Shipp and Abraham Smith, but personally led the mob himself, were made by the International Labor Defense League after an investigation, this week. The League charges that Camp- bell is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and is also a member of the Republican committee of the county. That the victims did not attack a white woman with intent to rape at all was also verified when it was learned that Mary Ball, the alleged victim, was bruised when she at- tempted to aid her white compan- ion, Claude Deeeter, who was shot with his own gun when he at- tempted to cheat Smith and Shipp in a business transaction, The woman put out the false attack story that resulted in the lynching of the two men. It was also disclosed that the Ne- gro policemen on the force were sent home prematurely on the aft- ernoon prior to the lynchings to make a clear field for the lynchers.

Whitlock, former city councilman and president of The Gary American Publishing Co., re- turned to Gary Monday from a mo- tor trip to North Carolina, where he had gone to enroll his daughter, Hazel, a freshmen in the A. and T. college at Greensboro. While there, Mr. Whitlock _ad- dressed the general student body and the freshman class. A. T. Blueford, president of the college, is a brother-in-law of the Garyite. The college is making sensational progress, according to Mr. Whit- lock, and trustees and _ officials look forward to this being one of the biggest years in the institution's history. It already has a high rank- ing scholastically and its athletic teams have done good work. At each football contest nearly three- fourths of the attendance is white and the Caucasian citizens there are loyal supporters and rooters. Conditions Better Economic conditions in that part of the country are much better than they are here, Mr. Whitlock stated. He visited the leading cities in North Carolina, including Win- ston-Salem, Raleigh and Durham, the capitol of Negro business Al- though more Negroes are employed as servants than in any other ca- pacity, he cited Negro business projects consisting of chain drug- stores and grocery stores which give employment to many. More than 1400 miles were trav- versed on the motor trip, He en- countered no trouble at all. Mr. Whitlock, while in Greens- boro, received a writeup in the Greensboro News, a daily paper hare: Child Struck by Car; Driver Held Struck by a car driven by Frank Tarantiano, 35, Hobart Caucasian, little five-year-old C.

Tarantiano is being held on an open charge pending the outcome of the child's condition. By Florida J. Leeke There is a story of an old Dutch merchant who suddenly acquired a fortune and who, knowing that its its origin would be a matter of speculation among his friends, carved over his doorway of the mansion that he built: “They say; They will say; let them be saying.” The fear of what “they will say” sometimes makes such cowards of people. They will ruin their lives rather than do something they think other people might criticize It is the thing which caused men and women to drag along in pov- erty and failure with what they call “white collar” jobs when they might be making success and for- tunes in some trade or other type of work. It crowds the profes- sions with the unprepared who might make successes and fortunes as cooks, carpenters, maids, brick- layers or teamsters. Fear Cause of Poverty The fear of what the neighbors will say has kept many women threadbare in genteel poverty and miserable dependence, when they are just aching to get out and earn money for themselves at the kind of work they can best do. Our neighbors cannot see into our souls. They can only judge by the outside and make such deduc- tions as appearances seem to war- rant. Therefore we are foolish to govern our lives by what our neigh- bors might say rather than by what our own best conscience dic- tates to us. Then on the other hand, the fear Capable ares x ae : o t ake os Se ce ¥ Saas ee os .

Oust Indianapolis High School Head New Principal Is Short Two Semester Hours INDIANAPOLIS. —Lack of two semester hours of study in physical training methods and an apparent undercover campaign based on that fact led to the resignation here this week of Thomas J. Anderson, new: ly appointed Crispus Attucks high school principal, one week after school started. It is believed by many here that the resignation of Mr. Arderson at this time through pressure _ be- lieved to have been brought on the state board of education, was for the purpose of returning’ a formes principal to the high school post: Public sentiment is high as a re- sult of the new principal's virtuai ousting. Mr. Anderson, who ho 4- an A. B degree from Howard university snd an M. A. from Columbia oniversity teachers colloye, plans to accept a post at Howard university as pro fessor of education. Several Montreal (Canada) _res- <neden mt cee dite Metaha, tirouhentadk tae of what “they will say” may be the beginning of righteousness. It might be the whip which keeps many a weak brother and sister in the straight and narrow path. Every now and then we find some especially privileged character who feels that she can “be damned” with the opinion of the community in which she lives and sets out to experiment with other people's rights and feelings; all the way from walking in and out when she pleases to consoling other women's husbands in their domestic troubles and receiving the husband's atten- tions as her reward. Sooner or later the wheels of pub- lic opinion roll over all of these people and leave them crushed and maimed. They find themselves os- tracised, balked of their ambition and left to go their self-elected way alene. Therefore we cannot al- ways defy our neighbors and do as we please, living our own lives en- tirely regardless of them. Must Make Your Decision The queer part of it is that when we are brave enough to be independent and choose the sort of work we are fitted for by nature and to live so that we may not be the subject of ridiculous gossip, our neighbors all praise us for it in the end. So the most difficult question we have to decide for ourselves is how far we should be ruled by our neighbors and where we should draw the line between snapping our fingers in Dame Grundy’s face, or in grovelling in the dust before her.

Glenn Thompson, white, of Alton, Ill, identified Blakely as the man who held him up and took his car Sept. 8. The young preacher is said to have admitted the charges and explained his actions by saying that his intentions were “pure and Christian” and that he took the money “to help establish a settle- ment house for colored boys and girls by securing funds from those who were able to donate them, as the members of his race were not giving him the support they should.” When arrested, Blakely was in an automobile bearing an Arkansas license. A youth named Frank Harris was with him. A .38 calibre revolver was on the floor of the car.

Gray, who did the hurling for the Giants, had everything his own way, allow- ing only five safe talleys and never seemed to be in difficulty. Don Crowe started on the mound for Jack's Army Store and dis- played great form, but it wasn't very long before the Giants got on to his curves and twists and hit them far and wide. The Giants scored seven runs before Grove wa: taken out and replaced by Eddie Brookheimer who gave the Giants only one run in 5% innings. This leaves one or two more games to be played between the Steel City Giants and Jack’s Army Store for the Silver cup offered by Herman Werber, City Treasurer Should the Giants be victorious in their game next Sunday the con- test will be all over, with the crown setting on Gray and_ his Giants, for they curely put up a hard fight for it. Should the Giants lose next Sunday there would still remain one more game to be played for either team has to win 2 out of 3 games before it can claim the crown, Praises Giants Jack Shonfield, owner of Jack's Army Store, 1650 Broadway, when interview by a Gary American re- porter, said, “The Steel City Gi- ants deserve a lot of credit, they have a fighting team and never let up, with that spirit they are bound to win. I particularly notice the fine work of your pitcher, Gray, he | must have a lot of ‘stuff’ on that bal] Gray seemed to have the boys bitting on that wicked out-curve of his and it sure was breaking nice- ly. Holloway, the catcher per- formed very nicely at the plate. H. Foster, playing left field got three safe talleys at five times at bat and led the hitting list. Further commenting on the way the Giants are performing, Jack Shonfield said, “I expect to put the Steel City Giants in Jack's Army Store uniforms nex year. There is no doubt in my mind bu what they have one of the strongest teams in Lake County, and with proper sup- port they should develop one of the best colored teams in this district. There still remains one game to be played and if the Giants win next Sunday’s game I expect to get in touch with their manager and ay the foundation for next season. “It is my intention to supply them with the best equipment and brand- new suits of Wilson or Spaulding quality that would make anyone feel proud to wear one. I would ike to have the manager get in ouch with me after next Sunday's zame.”” Next Sunday’s game between the Steel City Giants and Jack's Army Store is to be played at Chesterton, Ind, at 3 P. M. and a large at- fendance is expected. fiShould you Requireif | An extra length Socking, you can find it at the Neumode | | | |Store.

If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out, cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superfluous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then nature's machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red, healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood.

A Clean, Comfortable ride to Chicago for 35c White Way Midwest Motor Coach Company --- Noonday Club Talk In Church Monthly BetheaWrites on Church And Business Man A speech, "The Business Man's View of the Church," given by Dr. Dennis Bethea of Hammond several months ago before the Noonday club at Stewart house, appears in a late issue of the A. M. E. Church Review. Dr. Bethea answers the charges that the educated Negro no longer is active in church work unless it be for personal gain. He says there are four classes: those who are absolutely faithful, those who attend church occasionally out of fear, those who are after "the loaves and fishes," and those who refuse to go altogether. He mentions the way in which most churches are conducted as disgusting the average business man. Lengthy sermons, factional fights and poor business principles bore the professional man. As a remedy, Dr. Bethea suggests that the tone of church worship be improved, more merging and consolidation, fewer factional fights, and better paid pastors.

INDIANA Baran Urges Support Of Community Support of the community and its industries and business concerns should be given by all residents of Gary to relieve the present business depression, according to Charles Baran, prominent real estate dealer and candidate on the Democratic ticket for county commissioner. A resident of Gary since the founding of the city many years ago, Mr. Baran today viewed the present business depression as a result of pessimistic thinking. "The community and its business men and business enterprises should be supported just now, and the need for this is greater now than ever," Baran declared. "If every person who has been in the habit of buying merchandise from out-of-town would concentrate more of their spending in Gary, a different result would be gained," he stated. **Sees Future on S. S.** "I see a great future for the business concerns and enterprise on the South Side. Here in this district, I believe, lie untold possibilities." Mr. Baran is owner of two furniture stores, the Central Furniture store and the Baran furniture stores. Flora T.

Kelly, prominent sportsman and man-about-town, on a charge of larceny by bailee. The charge, it is reported, grew out of the failure af Binga to repay to Kelly a sum of $12,500 which the latter subscribed for stock in the proposed national bank which Binga and a group of leading business men were preparing to organize on the site of the old Kenwood State bank, on South Park way, near 47th street. At the time when the organization of the bank was under way, Kelly paid in his vestment for stock to aid in providing the funds necessary for obtaining a permit from the U. S.

DISAPPEARANCE of Hazel K. Groves, county treasurer and East Chicago bank president, is one of the most sensational mysteries Lake County has ever faced. So far auditors have found nothing in either the bank or county treasuries to cause alarm. If Grove's disappearance was voluntary because of financial machinations which he feared might ruin him if exposed, he has handled them in such a way that skilled investigators cannot easily find any flaws. Both Republicans and Democrats join hands in hoping that the public may soon know just what has happened to the banker. His position in county government transcends party, for he is looked upon as a capable business man. The American joins with the public in wanting to know just what has happened and hopes that the mystery will soon be cleared and Grove's whereabouts learned. News Suppression in Tennessee MANY people believe that practically any newspaper will suppress even the most important of stories if the palms of the editors are crossed with sufficient gold. Readers of nearly all newspapers, white or black, will tell you of stories of scandal kept out by the payment of cash. Most maligned is the Negro press. Yet it is a Negro weekly which offers the latest proof that most newspapers do not peddle their heritage. We refer to the East Tennessee News, published at Knoxville, Tenn. Last week a white truck driver for a credit furniture store in Knoxville shot a young colored woman without provocation. He had called to get a stove on which the payments had not been kept up. The woman had driven away in a friend's car. The gunplay took place when the truck driver, with two accomplices, gave chase. They forced the car to the side of the road. One of the whites, a deputy sheriff, dropped his pistol in a struggle with the Negro driver. The truck driver picked it up and fired pointblank at the woman. Brutal even for the South. The store owner wished to keep it out of the papers. So he called up the editor of the weekly and offered advertising, no mention of the assault to be made in the paper's columns. He probably got the surprise of his life when his offer was spurned. It would have been to that journal's financial advantage to have suppressed the story. If the case is brought to trial, the truck driver will in all probability go free. Many Negroes, believing that the white man can do no wrong, will continue to trade at the furniture store. Sincere journalism is often thankless. Yet this editor allowed himself to be swayed by no promises of gold. He realized it was his duty to give the story 'ne space and prominence it demanded, advertising be hanged. Such is the spirit which rules all true newspapermen, for when an editor sells his news, then his paper has outlived its usefulness and can no longer hold high its head and boast or being a mirror of human activity.

But, given liberty to do as it pleased, the race, like a lanky country boy, bean moving to the city and has taken its dollars to spend in vice dens of social misconduct. Had the Negro's virtues kept pace with his iniquities, there would be far less economic suffering during these days of nationwide depression. Yet she is reaping only the wild oats sown in sixty odd years of liberty. Thinking Negroes are beginning to realize that the race has become proficient in the wrong channels. We are just beginning to realize that it doesn't take a million dollar edifice to save a soul and that the body is also due a little salvation. Result: more business, corporations, fights for employment. But the virtues of American civilization, which consist of dollars and more dollars, have not as yet touched our knowledge of the vices. When we become as proficient in worthwhile and economic ideas as we have in the others; when we learn how to make money as well as we know how to spend it, the Negro as a race will have no further economic worries.

An Advertisement in The American Brings Results 30,000 Lost in Hurricanes in Past 30 Years 30,000 Lost in Hurricanes in Past 30 Years Santo Domingo Disaster May Not Be Last for Year, Says Tingley WASHINGTON.—The destructive hurricane which wrecked Santo Domingo last week brings the total of lives lost in West Indian storms during the past thirty years up to twenty thousand, according to statements issued by Chief F. G. Tingley, of the U. S. Weather Bureau's Marine Division, this week. While storms during this period have exacted a heavy toll the greatest number of casualties have occurred during the past four years due to the fact that well populated cities have been in the paths of hurricanes during these years. Many equally serious hurricanes have occurred, but have passed practically unnoticed because they struck only the mountain districts smaller islands of the seas. If the recent hurricane that caused so much devastation and death had passed but fifty miles west of Santo Domingo it would have been of no importance. A study of the dates of the serious hurricanes shows that summer is the worst hurricane season, and the Santo Domingo catastrophe may not be the last for this year as many have occurred as late as October. First symptoms of the season are evidenced in small gales in June that increase in July and by August and September they have developed to the velocity of the storm that wrecked Santo Domingo. There are fewer changes in the Southern Hemisphere in January than in any other month. Hits Child in Unavoidable Accident HITS CHILD Unable to stop his car in time, Wilbur J.

For more than a year the fighting editors of the Chicago Whip have conducted the campaign for jobs for Aframericans. Their slogan is "Don't spend your money where you cannot work." The ruthless campaign, but systematically and carefully conducted, has produced results. Thousands of persons who were unemployed this time last year in Chicago are at present earning thir means of livelihood in the districts in which they spend their money. One of the most significant effects of the campaign was witnessed in Chicago last week—the near-riot for jobs on the construction of the extension of the street car line on 51st street. In the campaign of the special referendum on the street car improvement bill Negroes were promised work in return for thier support of the measure. The bill passed. Work was begun, but Negroes were not employed. Diplomatic persuasion was used to no avail on the employment managers. Efforts were concentrated under proper leadership and the Negroes seeking employment descended on the workmen and foremen en masse. They demanded work and got it; supplanting hundreds of white abens. This case is slightly different from the slogan of "don't spend your money where you cannot work." But it was inspired by the slogan. Although Negroes were not working for the Chicago Surface lines they could not handily refuse spending their money with them. The alternative was—the demanding of jobs. And the alternative worked. Proper leadership, such as has been exercised by the Chicago Whip, will win employment advantages from other public utilities, even as it has won from the community merchants and Chicago Surface Lines. Communism in Wheat Futures. A howl was raised in Chicago and other wheat and grain pit centers last week over a telegram sent by Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde to John A. Bunnell, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, claiming that the Soviet Russian government was trying to secure a "corner" on the wheat market of the world. President Bunnell has promised to appoint an investigating committee, determine the veracity of the "alarming" news, and use what means possible to offset the "corner." We laugh when we think of American wheat operators becoming alarmed over such a situation. Soviet Russia is claimed to have bought and undersold millions of bushels of wheat in the Chicago pit last week. She is accused by Secretary Hyde of keeping down the price of wheat, suffering a loss in order to carry out her plans. What could she gain? Russia is the second largest wheat growing country in the world. What could be her advantage in "buying and selling short" in this country, when she has millions of bushels of grain in her own bins? Even if she forced the market down and wanted to unload her wheat on the American market, the tariff would make it unprofitable. She has to pay 42 cents per bushel import tax. All of this leads us to believe that President Hoover, acting through his secretary of agriculture, is trying to "cover up" the inability of Chairman Alexander Legge and his Farm Relief Commission to relieve the over-production farm crisis. Farmers are suffering. Millions of bushels of grain are being harvested, with no market for it. While millions of bushels of grain from last year's crop remain in the elevators, with no market for it. Secretary Hyde is either casting aspersions on the Senate Quiz May Include Vote Rights --- Observer Says Dynamite In Investigations Now Under Way (Continued From Page One) preventing the confirmation of an appointee to the Supreme Court, Judge John J. Parker, of North Carolina, who was charged with publicly taking a position adverse to Negro participation in politics. Advantage Won "In the second place Negro voters have just won a decisive advantage in the Federal courts. A United States Circuit Court has declared unconstitutional a condition of the Democratic primary system in Virginia which excludes Negroes. Apparently the Virginia Democratic officials concerned did not care to contest the decision, for just this week they have permitted the time limit for an appeal to expire, and the decision stands. "The net of the situation is that there are energetic persons who are determined to use the Nye committee as a step toward a large end. The purpose is to have the Senate debate and pass upon the question whechter a Southern Democraic Senator is entitled to his seat if he won it in a primary in which Negro voters were deprived of participation. The persons having this determination are Radicals or Progressives primarily, rather than Republicans, and Republicanism is not their motive, although the Republican presumably would benefit. Any one familiar with American history since the Civil War knows this is a decidedly explosive situation." 'Born Reckless' to Show at Roosevelt Do you keep your promises? Gangsters do. That is why a gangster who made a promise to his dying buddy amid the roar of aerial bombs and the stutter of machine gun fire "somewhere in France," kept that promise at the risk of his life—and in so doing brought about one of the most dramatic climaxes in screen history. "Born Reckless," the exciting Fox Movletone all talker which comes to the Roosevelt theatre next Sunday, Sept. 29, is said to be the first screen offering that accurately depicts gangster life as it really is. Closely adapted from Donald Henderson Clarke's real-life novel of the underworld, "Louis Beretti," the film combines adventure, action, romance and suspense to an unusual degree. Edmund Lowe plays the chief role of "Louis Beretti," the gang leader and a noteworthy cast appears in the picture, including Catherine Dale Owens, Lee Tracy, Marguerite Churchill, Warrrn Hymer, Frank Albertson, William Harrigan, Roy Stewart, Paul Page and many others. John Ford directed the production. business acumen of the American wheat operators or "dealing us a lot of baloney." IVAN C.

A. 23c 3 LARGE CANS Paris Weekly Raps Gold Star Jimcrow Says Death Should End Such Segregation PARIS.—Candide, Paris weekly, commenting on the fact that the colored Gold Star Mothers do not stop at the same hotels as the white ones, thinks that this was done in order that the segregation between American white and American colored should be complete. "The Negroes of America," it says, "did not come to France only to play jazz and to initiate us to the intoxication of the Charleston. They came during the war as soldiers, and when they left for home many were missing, being nothing more than little white crosses among many other little white crosses. "At the same time the white Gold Star Mothers came to see these little white crosses also came the Negro mothers. But at the same time does not mean: with race prejudice remained in spite of all. You would think that death would be sufficient to efface it in such a case, but no. The Gold Star Mothers all went to the same hotel, from which the Americans fled immediately. "Each day the officers conduct the Gold Star Mothers to the Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's Tomb, or the Catacombs, but the colored mothers are never taken into those places, 'places of perdition,' where the white mothers go to get acquainted with the last word in Parisian debauch." At St. Joseph, Mo., thieves stole a safe from a store and after hauling it to farm a mile away, they removed the $600 it contained and wrapped a large United States flag around the safe.
