VOLUME III No.46 Marion Lynch Probe Fails; Ask Ogden Aid Grand Jury Returns No Indictments; NAACP Sends Protest Witnesses Refuse To Testify, Claim Ask Ogden Oust Sheriff And Hardin, Take Complete Charge NEW YORK.—Failure of Indiana authorities to secure indictments of persons known to have participated in the removal from jail and lynching in the courthouse square of two colored boys in Marion, on August 8, has brought a letter to James M. Ogden, Indiana State Attorney General. In this letter the N. A. A. C. P. reminds Mr. Ogden that it has submitted the names of twenty-seven alleged lynchers, and that the eyes of the country are directed toward Indiana's prosecution of the mobbists. In the N. A. A. C. P. letter, signed by Walter White, acting secretary, who investigated the lynching, it is stated that: "The names of twenty-seven alleged lynchers have been supplied to the authorities and it is known that additional names are in the possession of the sheriff and the prosecuting attorney at Marion. The Grand Jury at Marion made a partial report on September 19 and newspaper accounts of that report do not mention the lynchings nor do they indicate any sincere effort on the part of the local authorities at Marion to apprehend the known members of the mob. Sheriff Knows Four "Prosecutor Harley Hardin has stated to a prominent citizen of Marion that he has done everything in his power, but that it has been 'impossible to get the witnesses to testify against the names of the lynchers who are known.' Such a statement is incredible, to put it mildly, since Sheriff Jacob Campbell has admitted that he personally recognized four members of (Continued on Page Four) Mustard HELLO, EVERYBODY! Little Dickie Dishwater, the office pest, has just prepared a series of plans whereby the unemployment question can be solved and prosperity be returned, all muzzled and chained, to the Republicans. He plans to send them anonymously to Mr. Hoover, who will undoubtedly appoint a commission to try out the plans and another to find out who sent them, thus beginning to make work for somebody right away. Have the housewives burn more beefsteak. Naturally, that burned will be thrown away. Whereupon more will be bought, which means that the butchers will have to buy more from the packers, which means the farmers will have to raise more cattle. That means that more will go into the business of farming, which means that more farm houses and ranch houses will have to be built, thus stimulating the lumber industry. Lumberjacks will have to be hired in greater numbers, which means that more beef will have to be bought to feed them, thus starting that all over again. The hides of these cows can be used to make boots for these lumberjacks. That calls for more factories and workers. In fact, you can go on indefinitely. A good woman with a beefsteak can change the economic outlook of the whole country. Pass a law against working. This will immediately cause new businesses to spring up just to spite the law. It will take plenty of men to fill the jobs now opened. The government can immediately hire a gang of agents to stop this new worklegging industry, which will mean employment to still more people. The federal agents may shoot a few people, which means work for undertakers. Other agents won't do a doggeded thing, which means the U. S. will hire more on the ground that those they have aren't in sufficient numbers to block the industry. For full details of the plan, study prohibition, which produced more jobs than the saloons ever could. Immediately destroy all warships. This will call for the employment of several thousand laborers. As soon as they are destroyed, build new ones to take their places. Sell THE WISEST CRACKS IN AMERICA Plan I Plan II.

Weinberg told the police that he was set upon by three men near his home late Sunday night, bound and gagged and placed in an automobile. He was carried near the outskirts of the city and there forced to disrobe.

Power Lost as Cop Head; May Get No Salary Woods Woes Increase As Suit Is Filed to Stop His Salary In addition to losing his power by the action of the Safety Board Tuesday night, Police Inspector Albert Woods is in danger of losing his salary. A suit to prevent the payment of Woods' salary of $250 a month was filed in Lake Superior court Monday by John Evans Cooper, south side Republican precinct commiteeman, through Atty. Chester P. Rhodenbury. This suit charges Woods has a "total lack of knowledge of local conditions and that since his regime began crime has increased." It also charges that he has "brought about confusion and chaos in the police department" and that conditions are now so bad that "life, limb and property in Gary are no longer safe." It is directed at the city treasurer and seeks to enjoin him from paying Woods' salary. Woods receives $250 a month, the only money available unless a special appropriation is voted by the city council. It represents a captain's pay and was made possible because of a captain's vacancy. the dismantled parts for junk to pay the workers. Tax the citizens to buy new ships.

Several readers of this yere now colyum want to know what became of the famous ballad, "Josefus From Gary," which started in our column a year ago. So we're going to finish it. But first we'll reprint the original verses for fear they may have been forgotten. Josefus From Gary Josefus lived on Washington Full twenty years was he Never had he strayed from home The world he'd yet to see. Came the day that he turned 21 Right restless it found he 'Twas time that he should have hi "Twas time that he should have his fun And so he made this plea: "Wimmin have I always shunned "They're all a myskery "A red hot shiek I would become "Tis time the gals knew me." And so he spake thus to his Mom (A wise old dame was she) Now answered she unto her son Who craved frivolity. "My boy," she said, "you want fun "Just like your old pappy "The sea of life 'tis time you swum "And gals you ought to see. "But hearken to these words from Mom: "Let all these yaller gals be "Or else a chump you'll soon become "Or like a fish deep in the sea." And now Josefus a tune did hum His heart was filled with glee He's leaving dear onld Washington With coin and an extra B. V. D. (To be Continued.) We wrote a last line and took it out for a walk but it was so dog-goned chilly here the blamed thing got loose, hopped a train, and started for Florida for the winter. —Marsh Melows. The Gary American SERVED RED HOT EVERY ISSUE DuBois Flays Pilgrims; Dubs Them Jailbirds Asserts in Speech That Pilgrims Were Friends Of Negro Slavery BOSTON.—The majority of the Pilgrims and Puritans were prostitutes from the streets of London, and jailbirds with the stamp of criminal written over their faces, was the declaration of Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, editor of the Crisis, here Thursday. He followed the former attorney-general as one of two principal two principal speakers at the Ter centenary meeting of the Society of the Desbendants of Early New England Negroes, held at Roxbury Memorial High School. PETER HARRIS Herbert Parker, white, the first speaker on the program, selected as his topic, e. W. E. DuBO1S "The Friendliness of the New Englanders to the Slaves." Speaking briefly on slavery, the former attorney-general said that the general attitude of the New Englanders was to a great extent unfavorable to the abominable evil of slavery and racial hatred. Uses Sarcasm Making a sarcastic apology to the former attorney-general, Dr. Du Bois said that any one who believed that the New Englanders, including Massachusetts, were not a party to the institution of slavery, "did not know their history," for both the New Englanders and Massachusetts engaged in the triangular slave trade. He said that the New Englanders purchased molasses and sugar from the West Indies; this was turned into rum and sold for large profits, and some of the New Englanders took the remainder of the rum to Africa which was used in making the Africans drunk. Being in an intoxicated condition, they were brutally handled and brought to the West Indies by these same New Englanders and exchanged for molasses and sugar. As Bad as Dixie If the climatic conditions of New England, declared Dr. Du Bois, had been the same as in the South, slaves would have been employed in this section of the country. "Only a few early New Englanders really accomplished anything worth while," Dr. Du Bois said. "If the ancestors of most of these descendants were to enter the door most of them would be greatly embarrassed, because the majority of early New England settlers consisted of prostitutes and jail birds." Dr. Du Bois took for his topic "Ancestor-Worship." He said that too much emphasis was put upon the revering of individuals. Dr. Du Bois was introduced as an honorary president of the Society of the Descendants of Early New England Negroes. Seek Better Protection At Roosevelt School A petition from the 44th precinct Republican club, asking for greater protection of school children at the Roosevelt school, 25th and Harrison, was presented to the safety board by Ald. Wilbur Hardaway Tuesday night. This petition charged that schoolboy patrolmen were inefficient and that no adult patrolman was on duty there. Chief Bucklind was instructed to look into the matter. Signers of the petition were Tona B. Cooper, Melissie Cannady, and Mary H. Crowder. ENDORSED FOR JUDGE ENDORSED FOR JUDGE CLEVELAND.—Alexander H.

Finds Europe Hates U.S.but Loves Her Coin Miss Cooke Back From Extensive Tour of Western Europe Calls Paris Noisy, London Too Murky Likes Rhine and Alps; Says Milan, Italy, Like U. S. Town By Rudolf Jonson "Beneath the undercurrent of blase Paris, as noisy as if enjoying a continuous carnival, sophisticated London with its murky fog and quaint relics of England's feudal system days, Germany and the Rhine with its ancient castles and beautiful estates and inborn appreciation of drama, sunny Italy and its individualistic cities — Venice, Florence and Milan — Switzerland with its magnificent Alps and mountain playgrounds, lies a dormant hate for the United States; a hate that is tolerated as an evil because of the monetary exploits which can be made of its touring citizens," explains Miss Anna Cooke, daughter of William W. Cooke, architect, in an interview concerning her recent trip to Europe. Miss Cooke, accompanied by the Misses Lillian Webster of Lawrence, Kansas, and Naomi Hayman, Little Rock, Arkansas, sailed from New York City on July 25 for a seven weeks tour of western Europe. They visited parts of England, France, Germany, Belgium, Bavaria, Italy and Switzerland, before returning to the United States on September 17. Calm Sea Going Across In descobring the ocean voyage, Miss Cooke said: "The trip across the Atlantic on the French-American steamship 'France' was more enjoyable than the return voyage. It took us six days to reach Plymouth, England, and with a calm sea my first experience on the ocean was very pleasant. But returning, we encountered a storm the second day out of Havre, France, the port from which we sailed to America, and experienced choppy seas for more than two days. It was extremely disagreeable. If I ever make another trip to Europe I will arrange it on a line that will not require six days on the water. Although we were on one of the best steamships in transatlantic service, the strain began to tell on me and the others in my party after the fourth day." Miss Cooke and her party landed at Plymouth on July 31 and proceeded directly to Stratford-on-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. At that time a Shakespearean festival was in progress. Plays by the immortal bard were, being presented in the civic theatre by some of the greatest Shakespearean dramatists on the English stage. The American girls witnessed two of these plays during their three-day stay at Stratford. Leaving Stratford-on-Avon, the party went to London for a three-day visit. "I did not like London," said Miss Cooke in commenting on the impression formed by the largest city in the world. "It is murky, foggy; has quaint houses, crooked streets, 'left-hand' traffic, and is extremely sophisticated. It has only one redeeming feature in my mind, and that is beautiful Hyde Park." Crossing the English Channel from Dover to Havre, the party went directly to Paris. There in that colorful old-world city the three travelers went to the Montmartre Hotel, in the American sector of the city; accommodations having been arranged in advance.

Jury Convicts Slayer After 3 Days Trial Shelton Handed 2 to 21 Year Term for Killing In East Chicago After deliberating seven hours, a jury in Judge Harry Crumpacker's court in Valparaiso returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter Thursday morning against Preston Shelton, Gary, charged with the slaying of John Frank Stark in East Chicago last February. As a result, Shelton must serve a term of two to twenty-one years. The state had asked for either the death penalty or life imprisonment in the trial which began Monday. Slain Over Bet According to testimony brought out at the trial, Stark was killed in a rooming house belonging to Mary Powell. It was the culmination of an argument over a bet which Shelton was unable to pay. Mrs. Powell said she was in the doorway of the room when Shelton fired the first shot at Stark but fled before the second shot was fired. Lulu Sims, present in the house at the time, told the court that Shelton dashed into her room just prior to the killing and then rushed by her with a gun in his hand as she stood in the hall going towards the scene of the fatality. He had not disposed of the gun when arrested, according to Officer Glen Stretch, first officer on the scene, who declared that he removed the weapon from Shelton's pocket. This gun was offered in court as evidence. The case came up in Valparaiso instead of at Crown Point when Shelton applied for and received a change of venue. All of the jury which found the defendant guilty were white. Baltimore Boy Gangs Kill Third Victim BALTIMORE. — Youthful gang warfare claimed a third victim here Tuesday when Calvin Hines, 19 year-old boy, was shot and fatally wounded by Frank Ward, 18, during an argument over a pair of roller skates in Harlem park. Hines was taken to the Provident hospital where he died as a result of internal hemorrhages. Ward, who escaped after the shooting, is being hunted by police throughout the city, state and eastern Atlantic section. According to information, Hines was skating in the vicinity of the park when Ward and several other youths stopped him and demanded that he give them the swates. When he refused Ward struck him. During the fight that ensued between the two youths, Ward drew a revolver and fired several bullets at short range into the body of Hines.

Delivered to any part of the city. league b Offices Minister Sees Gary Becoming Greater City Voices Present Status; Gives Needs, Hopes For the Future (Pastor St. Paul Baptist Church) Having come to this city four years ago this month as pastor of the St. Paul Baptist church, I feel that I have sufficiently observed the city so as to have a fairly good idea of what it was and what it is and what it will be. First, I would say that when we look back on its meagre beginning, we can see at once that it is already far beyond the most sanguine expectations of its founders. With a few buildings here and there dotting the sand and a few whistling engines now and then breaking the fearful silence which was almost sublime, no human imagination could have pierced the dense future so as to see the Gary of today. Now behold the Gary of today. Look at the mountains of sand and the fields of arid acres as they have given away before the skill and art of man. Notice the piles of brick and mortar and stone that now stand kissing the skies in the shape of beautiful houses for dwellings and spacious buildings for business. Our city, yes, I call it our city, because I am here as a citizen and here I expect to stay. As I was about to say, our city is a magnetic city for it draws. It draws men of all classes. Conditions Better Here Everywhere I go whether it be North or South, East or West, I find conditions, from an economical and industrial standpoint, better here than anywhere that I have been. Our citizens should be proud of our great steel works of this city. These great works are the foundation of prosperity of this town. It is true that at timese like this there comes a little lull in business in and about this great industrial plant and everybody's success, whether he be merchant, banker, truckster or churchman, feels the effect. Every one of us depends upon the operation of this plant; for when it fails to operate the strongest, financially, as well as the poorest feel the stinging pain of want. I am not personally acquainted with any man who is at the head of this great plant, although I wish I were; because as I study their seeming attitude it seems to me that the heads of this institution are doing their best to give each of their workers some work; even though they can't give them full time they give their men enough wok to keep buckle and tongue together. They have the power to cut off many of the hands entirely, but how fine it is that they hold them as much as three or four days a week until they can give them full time. In most of the industrial plants in other cities they shut down entirely, but here they don't; for it would be a calamity if they did. With this great industrial plant as a foundation for this town's prosperity, we can't fail. And, too, we are bound to be envied by other towns that are not so well favored as we, even Chicago with its millions is not to be desired above Gary. We have a daily newspaper that holds its own with dailies of much larger cities than ours. We have our weeklies of which we are proud; for it doth not appear what they shall be if properly supported. We have our numbers of banks that are continuing to open their doors and doing business as banks in other cities and according to reports from the clearing house they have made a splendid showing for such a time as this. Of course, I know that some of (Continued on Page 2) Auditing of the books and finances of former Justice of the Peace William C. Hueston got under way Tuesday following the finishing of their investigation of the books belonging to Justice E. J. Fletcher. According to William Burrus, who was appointed to fill Hueston's post last June following the latter's appointment to a government post, his books are not being audited as was reported in the daily press. y press. Conditions Better Here Begin Audit on Hueston Court Books Price 5 Cents Both Sides Charge Each Other With Trying to Seize Club Control Burrus, Supporters Vacate Club Meet Argument Over Election Of Officers Leads to Split in League Charges and counter charges of petty intra-club political machinations were hurled here this week by two factions in the Lake County Political league, organized last July with high hopes of combining Negroes from all over the county in a cooperative and non-partisan political club, following the meeting here Monday night at the Elks Rest, and the withdrawal of most of the Gary members. Dr. Dennis A. Bethea, president, and Henry L. Davis, attorney, both of Hammond, claim that Justice of the Peace William Burrus sought fruitlessly to assume the role of dictator and then wreck the club by bolting when his plans were checked. Justice Burrus, founder of the club, asserts that the Hammond men, in company with a few others, attempted to seize control of club offices to further the political interests of a small group while Gary members were absent from the meeting. In short, the two sides are at odds mainly over the election of club officers at Hammond Sept. 1. Hammondites' Story According to the story told by the Hammond men, Burrus was appointed temporary chairman when the club was formed in July. A committee was appointed by him to draw up bylaws and a constitution and present a list of possible nominees for club offices. Justice Guy and John Hinton, East Chicago; Henry Davis and S. P. Porter, Hammond, and Mrs. Mary Stokes, Gary, were its members. Election of officers was scheduled for Sept. 1 at Hammond. Burrus, however, is charged with having assumed the presidency before this time. He sent out notices on Aug. 28 for the meet to which he signed his name as president.. But on Aug. 31, he tried to postpone the meeting "because his crowd could not be present," according to Davis. Although no Garyites were present, the meeting was held according to the schedule and rules laid down. Dr. Bethea was elected president, and all other offices were filled with the exception of that of financial secretary. Burrus then tried to have the election set aside because he claimed Gary was not satisfied. In reality, the local squire was "sore" because he did not get the presidency, Davis says. At the meeting here Monday night, Burrus offered to continue with the club providing a re-election was held. This was objected to. Burrus then left the meeting, taking the majority of the Gary members with him. According to Burrus, the election on Sept. 1 was unfair because no Garyites were present, although people from this town comprise the major portion of the club. He says he attempted to call the meeting off by wiring Hinton of Hammond and telling local folk because he had just motored back from the Elks convention at Detroit and was too tired to attend. He believed it had been called off until a few days later when he learned of the election. Concerning his "bolt" Monday night, he asserts that he withdrew when he learned that certain "tricksters" had seized control of the club in violation of its constitution and bylaws, and that Gary, strongest of the three towns in political strength, did not have proper representation in offices. Burrus says that the one dollar joining fee, which was passed against his objection, is unnecessary and tends to produce graft, as with a large membership, the treasury would have far more than is essential for the club's management. He claims that the election was controlled by some 30 who paid their fees for that purpose, although both Hammond and East Chicago delegates objected to the procedure. He maintains that he is for "any county representative organization with the best interests of all the people at heart, and not the selfish desires of a troublesome few." Next meeting of the club, according to Dr. Bethea, will be next Thursday at the Elks Rest in Gary. In a beer-drinking contest at Juarez, Mexico, J. A. Dent, of D'Lo Miss., won. He drank half a gallon in 22 seconds. ANNOUNCING The Opening of the ROXY RESTAURANT 1744 BROADWAY Saturday, October 4 at 5 P. M. We Will Serve the Best Quality of Food That Money Can Buy Finds Europe Hates U.S.but LovesHerCoin Miss Cooke Back From Extensive Tour of Western Europe (Continued from Page 1) Pollies Bergere cafe, where Josephone Baker rose to fame, on another side by the Ambassadeurs Club, where Noble Sissle and his American Negro orchestra have made musical history for more than two years, Paris and all it's renamed blase gayety was witnessed by these three young ladies. Miss Cooke said, "I did not like it, it was too noisy. Reminded one of a continuous carnival. Taxicab horns quawking day and night. (Old-dashioned American horns, sounded by compressing a rubber bulb on the end of the horn.) Reminded one of the noise of Chicago slowed down to fifteen miles per hour, increasing its intensity." All of the Parisian art galleries were visited. The Champs Elysees, noted for its promenade and beauty, the Arc de Triomphe, France's memorial to its war dead, and the Colone de Venetian were a few of the points of interest visited in Paris. Automobile tours were made into the surrounding countryside, revealing the beauties of the famous French vineyards, and many shell-scarred landmarks serving as a constant reminder of the destruction suffered during the World War. Through this sheer coat of gayety could be seen the contempt with which the French viewed America. The only love exhibited is the love or American dollars. This is noticed by the exorbitant prices charged Americans in relation to what is charged natives. (Although o Americans, considering the value of French money, it is very cheap.) Miss Cooke cited many instances where prices on commodities were raised when the purchase was being made by Americans. In her own explanation of this condition, Miss Cooke stated: "The French people, and in fact all of continental Europe, is obsessed with the idea that America is all-powerful, because of her position in world finance, and that all tourists from America are rich. For that reason the tourists are regarded with a contemptible hate, and tolerated only because of the money theyy spend. And in direct contrast to this situation are thousands of Americans, especially Negroes, stranded in Paris. They have been lured or taken to the French capitol with the idea of making lucrative salaries in the theatrical world. Many of them are suffering, and praying for a chance to get enough money for cabin passage on a homeward bound ship. After eleven days in Paris the party went to Cologne, Germany. Two days later a trip up the historical Rhine was taken. Castles the once great German monarchy that once housed the royalty ofounding. I had never seen anyined both sides of this beautiful stream. In the words of the Gary young lady, "it was something I had read about in history, had seen glimpses of it in motion pictures, but the reality of it all was astounding. I had never seenanything before so magnificently beautiful." An interesting feature about German opera was explained by Miss Cooke. All of the dramatic theatres are owned by the cities. And there is a different one for the presentation of each composer's works. For instance, nothing but works of Wagner is presented in the Wagner; and the same is true of the others. A visit was made to Oberammergau to see the world-famed "Passion Play." The most unique city in the world, Venice, was reached by train from Bayreuth. "Venice, with its canals instead of streets, and its floating taxi-cabs (gondolas) was very rascinating indeed," according to Miss Cooke; "but the most beautiful city in sunny Italy is Florence. There is found the home of Michael Angelo, the artist and sculptor. We were permitted to visit his studio, and were allowed in the room in which he produced his masterpieces." "The most Americanized city in continental Europe, in architectural design, is Milan," stated this daughter of a recognized Indiana architect. "There are found more tall buildings than in any other city in Europe. They are generally built on the American style of architecture. In addition, Milan is an industrial city, being the home of numerous factories, a modernized Rumor Cops Chase Bishop From City Philly Healing Priest Absent After Rites PHILADELPHIA. — Rumors that "Bishop" C. M. Grace, who has been conducting revival services here, left town because detectives were on his trail were aired here this week. The evangelist returned to this city following his baptismal rites at Lawndale in which 200 were baptized two weeks ago, but immediately left Philadelphia for other quarters. Elder Stevens, who is acting in the absence of the Bishop, says that the Bishop did not leave town to evade the police, and that at any time his presence was required he would return. The elder stated that it would be impossible to state just how many people the Bishop has healed during his services in this city. In reply to an interrogation the elder said, "Bishop Grace has cured a number of people in this city, and he is a very Christian man, and has also been blessed with the marvelous powers of healing. It would be impossible for me to state the exact number of people who have been cured, because he has healed so many I never could keep account of the number." At the present time the "Bishop" will conduct healing services in a number of southern cities, including Washington, Newport News, Charlotte, Savannah, and Augusta, Stevens continued.

(They missed a session of the League of Nations by about four hours, the League having recessed for three days, on the morning of their arrival.) A train and motor trip was made up into the Alps, 14,000 feet above sea level. There was seen the monster Rhone Glacier. This glacier lies between two peaks, covering a space of more than 80 square miles and the ice varies in thickness from 400 to 800 feet. It is the source of the Rhone river, the largest river in southern Europe flowing across France and emptying into the Mediterranean sea.

May and Harris were sentenced to imprisonment a year ago by Judge Pattee on a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon, which carries life imprisonment as a maximum penalty. They were charged with beating two white boys with an iron bar and robbing them of $2.50 while the four were "bumming" a freight train. The action filed in circuit court for a retrial was effected after a welfare society in West Virginia employed Attorney R. L. Brokenburr of Indianapolis to investigate the circumstances of the two sentences. According to the boys, they were sentenced after a "private conversation" with Judge Pattee in circuit court last September. Militiamen Prevent Alabama Lynching HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — National guardsmen attacked a crowd around the Madison County jail here tonight with tear gas bombs when the group attempted to march on the jail, where G. E. Henderson, Negro, is being held in connection with the slaying of H. E. Ross, Huntsville business man. An unfavorable wind drove the tear gas back into the faces of the guardsmen and as the crowd continued to advance, the guardsmen formed a line and advanced with drawn bayonets. As the guardsmen pushed the crowd back some of its members retaliated with rocks and bricks. Several guardsmen were hit. the laws and be a law-abiding citizens; and then our city will be greater than the most optimistic could imagine.

No financial institution could with withstand such an onslaught. Good Schools Now let us notice our great school system. We can't help but admire what other folks think and say about our great public school system. The folks who hear about our great school system are inclined to pattern after us in a great many instances. I do not mean that the school system here is perfect for nothing is perfect in human inventions. Yet we hope to see the day when everything pertaining to our schools will move in harmony and good will. Now let us notice the number of great railroad lines and bus lines and ship lines that pass through or touch our city for our convenience. When we notice all of these, we know that our commerce and passenger traffic is relieved from that congested condition that so often blocks other cities. "Overchurched" We have churches in abundance, in fact, we are overchurched, but it may be that they who organized them knew best and it may be that good will come out of it in some way. I cannot tell. However, if the great number of these who sail under the name of Christianity will take a decided stand for right against wrong, a Greater Gary would begin today. Let us look for the Greater Gary. The majority of people can see no further than the present time. It takes some vision to see the future. Only a few years more and you will see a greater Gary. To Expand By my vision I can now see a Greater Gary taking in all of the neighboring towns up to and including Hammond. Those who can see nothing more than the present Gary will not be able to appreciate what I say. Twenty-five years ago no living man could have viewed Gary as it now is. But it is here and tomorrow you may look for a greater Gary. However, no city can be great without great citizens.

Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of the church, announced the plan last Sunday after his sermon. He stated that the church had sought for several days to secure loans from downtown banks, but without success although the amount asked was not one-tenth of the property values offered as security. The banks downtown simply do not want to make loans on south side property. Besides announcing that the bonds would be issued and sold, Dr. Williams called attention to the necessity of strengthening the south side banks so that they could take care of the needs of those desiring loans. Malcolm Vineberg, general manager of the L. Fish furniture company, was in the congregation and was introduced by Dr. Williams. He stated that the Fish company will buy a substantial block of the bonds and invited the entire membership to be the guests of the com- DELICIOUS FOOD WELL PREPARED PERFECTLY SERVED Reasonably Priced Labor Lunch 1016 BROADWAY Parking Space No Charge Y BUSINESS IS GOOD--- IT's time to get down to business—time for executives to get back to their desks—time for salesmen to get back into harness—time for all of us to pay more attention to our own business.

LOUIS.—The case of the Rev. Chas. B. Gugenhine, who is sought by Louisiana authorities for a 33-year-old murder charge, has been appealed to the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D. C. The appeal was taken when the Missouri Supreme Court refused to grant a new hearing in the matter after ruling that Gugenhine should be turned over to the Louisiana sheriff. Attorney Freeman L. Martin appeared before the state tribunal at Jefferson City Wednesday morning and secured the order of appeal. He was accompanied by Rev. G. W. Clemmons who signed the appeal bond.

Leeke For the Autumn Seasons What finer gift does God's universe hold for us than the change of seasons—what finer tonic for life than a change of air and scene! Summer is slipping away from us, slowly but surely. Autumn approaches, in all its gorgeous splendor. The change does not come abruptly or with suddenness of violent movement; no dial is delicate enough to register the moment when sunshine and heat give place to mellow and mist. We only know that, with sunshine quietude pervading every action, nature calls across the hills summoning her children of art. And while an infinite silence broods over the fields and upon the restless bosom of the sea, they steal about among the flowers and through the trees painting a new creation, a rare splendor of amber, rose and gold. And even as one waits, speechless and awestruck, the morning star touches the edges of the hills and behold, a new vision lies before our eyes, while our thoughts turn to fireside joys, clinking tea cups, gay carnivals, and thrilling football games.

No disease can be cured unless the bowels move regularly. If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood.

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.

Woods came from California to Gary to take charge of the local police department affairs. Tuesday night the safety board relieved him of his powers and made him an official in name only, claiming that his presence had broken down the morale of the department, that he spent his time lecturing and condemning, that he had no legal right to his position, and that his officers illegally invaded the privacy of citizens' homes. Without questioning the justice of charges as outlined by the safety board, it can be said that the program outlined by Woods when he first came to Gary was a worthy one. He planned to get rid of incompetent officers and introduce courtesy and efficiency into local crime circles. He planned to modernize police methods. Woods' big handicap was in having no experience in the Gary field. Crime prevention, no matter how scientific, requires accurate first hand knowledge of the field in which it is to be demonstrated. Coupled with that, the Californian had an apparent lack of tact. He waged open war on different local officers who had held their positions for some time. Without going into the question of their ability, they had sufficient friends and connections in Gary to make their permanent removal difficult unless the new inspector proved to be a man of unusual ability and diplomacy. Probably no city in America has a crime problem similar to that of Gary. Our city's population of more than 100,000 is made up of 43 different nationalities. Many persons here cannot speak English. People of different racial heritage live side by side in an entirely new environment. Sociologists have long maintained that such a human potpourri is a breeding place for the germs of crime. It is a wonder, then, that crime is no more rampant than what it is. This peculiar situation makes first hand knowledge of this city vital for successful administration of a police executive post. However, there is still room for great improvement in local police circles. The notorious third degree should be abolished and wholesale roundups of Negroes as suspects when a crime is committed should stop. Gary needs a man with the modern ideas of Woods; but that man must come here with diplomacy in his makeup and a thorough understanding of the peculiar local situation if he plans to make any headway as a czar of policedom. After High School and College---What? MORE than 3,700 Negroes are enrolled in the school system of Gary. Of this number, several hundred are taking high school courses. A few hundred will graduate. A much smaller number will take their degrees from colleges a few years later. After high school and college graduation, what next? The answer rests with the darker citizens of Gary. It is up to the adults of today to say whether those now studying will be forced to take their training to the Caucasian's kitchen and the steel mills or to positions befitting their ability. Nor is this a local question: it has not even been answered in great Chicago with its myriad businesses for even there the supply of trained men is far in excess of the demand. That the Negro must provide employment for his capable young is no new thought. But the race's response to this all-important truth has in the past been thoroughly juvenile. It was only this summer that the National Negro Business League, in its Detroit convention, took official cognizance of the matter. Figures released a few weeks ago show more than $67,000,000 paid in annually in premiums to white insurance companies with no jobs in return. Negro companies get $17,000,000 annually in premiums and provide positions for more than 5,000 trained Negroes. On the basis of these figures, people of our race are denied 20,000 jobs which we should rightfully have. Why not get them by withdrawing your support from ungrateful companies and throwing it to those which appreciate your money? Aframerica already is saturated with churches. Every new edifice constructed means the diverting of funds which otherwise might be put to use in financing businesses. These businesses would produce better economic conditions which would mean the Negro might indulge his mania for monster temples without depriving his children of their inborn right to make a decent living in work to which they are by training and temperament suited. This truth of church waste also wears gray whiskers. To the fathers and mothers throughout the country goes the problem of answering this vital question concerning the future of young black America. It can be answered in the affirmative by the construction of businesses. Or by continuing in the same happy-go-lucky fashion, it will be understood that the Negroes of America care nothing for the future of their children. And in that advent, why send the children to high school or college? Pertinent Paragraphs Pertinent Paragraphs By Rudolf Jonson Hoover Moves Politically. Arthur G. Froe resigned his post as recorder of deeds on March 21, 1929. President Hoover accepted it on September 8, 1930. According to the President's letter of acceptance of the resignation it is to take effect September 30. Jefferson S. Coage, of Delaware, who has been second deputy recorder, was appointed to fill Froe's position. He took the oath of office on September 23. Thus for seven days we had two recorders of deeds. The fact that we had two recorders of deeds for seven days does not interest us. We only marvel at the sudden burst of speed exhibited by the President and his advisers. Senator Daniel Hastings of Delaware, republican, is a candidate for reelection. His opponent is former Senator Thomas Bayard. In all of Thomas Bayard's political career he has ever been a friend of Aframericans. In the recent contest on Judge Parker's rejection, Daniel Hastings stated: "I will not listen to colored voters, even if it costs me my seat." It looks as if our President has made another appointment in an effort to save a 'Manslaughter' Will Show at Broadway In "Manslaughter," the Broadway theatre feature for next Wednesday and Thursday, Paramount has brought together three of the biggest personalities the stage has given to talking pictures. They are George Abbott, the director, Claudete Colbert and Fredric March. Each of them has contributed an excellent piece of work to the Alice Duer Miller story, which since its first appearance in 1922, has become a best-seller novel of all time. "Manslaughter" is a tensely gripping story. Exciting aqua-plane racing; palatial homes of the wealthy; a thrilling, shocking automobile accident; a dramatic court trial; a riot in the women's prison —such are the scenes that make up its swiftly moving drama. And Claudette Colbert as the wilful, capricious heroine, is magnificent all the way through. TWO KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT NEW ORLEANS.—(ANP)—Two men were killed and a third seriously injured when an automobile in which they were riding plunged into a ditch on the Jefferson Highway near the Bonnet Carre spillway. The two men killed were W. P. Hawkins, a merchant and undertaker of Sellars, and Joe Humphries of New Orleans. The accident occurred when Humphries, who was driving, lost control and the automobile rolled from the highway into a ditch. friend about to be crucified on the "Parker cross." Shades of the Hueston appointment in Indiana, and the Henderson appointment in Kansas! Law Enforcers Disagree. Stanley Bucklind, chief of the local police department, is reported to have upbraided William Burrus, Justice of the Peace, charging that (Bucklind) did not want his jail clustered with prisoners arrested by the Justice's constables on "John Doe" warrants. The rift grew out of an arrest of a drunken man. Bucklind called Burrus on the phone asking him to release the prisoner; stating that said prisoner was not sufficiently drunk to be arrested. Burrus went to the station and consented to the release of the prisoner. (It seems that the man was not drunk, but had only "insulted" one of Burrus' constables.) Later three prisoners, arrested by a deputy sheriff, "escaped" from the city jail. According to Captain Roach, "they just slipped out a side door during the Saturday night uproar." Bucklind "raised cain" (according to his statement) with the lockup keeper for allowing the men to walk out. Thus the buck was passed around in a circle. From the lockup keeper to the night lieutenant, who passed it to the captain, who passed it to the chief, who "raised cain" with the lockup keeper. The same thing that is happening in Gary in the matter of arrests for liquor violations, is happening all over the country. The jails are too small to hold the number of violators. Before 1920 the protagonists of the 18th amendment told us the passing of the law would cause jails to become obsolete. (Such a joke!) Instead they have become overcrowded, resulting in charges and counter charges of too many John Doe arrests, walking out of prisoners and disagreements between the law enforcing agencies. What next? Negro Insurance Companies. News dispatches from Washington announce the annual observance of "Founder's Day" of the National Benefit Life Insurance company. This annual fete, which is being conducted this week by the various agencies throughout the country, pays homage to S. W. Rutherford, president and founder of the largest business enterprise owned and operated by Negroes in the United States. In our humble way we offer personal homage to President Rutherford and his board of directors, also to other leaders of Negro business enterprises throughout the country. We praise them because they have found a way to make their "celebrations" national in scope, without spending a helluva lot of railroad fare and losing a helluva lot of time "confabing." Would that our religious organizations, fraternal organizations and various other associations adopt this plan. All the constructive work they accomplish could be done with a two-cent stamp.

Gary Home Appliance Co. 440 Washington St. Phone 2-6563 THE GARY AMERICAN, GARY, INDIANA SPORTS Twenty-six are on this year's squad. From this material, Coach Lane was forced to build an entirely new line with the exception of Watson and Richardson, veteran tackles. Sanders easily beat Harris, second string last year, out of the center berth. Johnson and Scarbro won regular berths as guards while Thompson and Butler fill the right and left wing positions. D. Mitchell still holds his position at halfback while C. Mitchell alternates between half and end. Dixon, second string last year, won the quarterback berth and Perry has been changed from end to fullback. Through the efforts of Coach Lane, the Army field will be the scene of East Pulaski's coming football games in Gary. Avondales Win First Grid Game, 7 to 0 The Avondale club began their fall football activities last Sunday afternoon by defeating the Morgan Park Monitors by a score of 7-0. It was their first game of the season and was played on Roosevelt Field. Odell, formerly star fullback at Froebel, was responsible for the lone counter. The Avondale lineup included Pearson and Smith at ends; Cooke and Pattton, tackles; Harris and Howen, guards; Blount, center; Exum and Ralph Haris, halfbacks; Odell, fullback, and Dublin, quarterback. The flashy Gary semi-pro gridmen are scheduled to play the East Chicago Boosters, at East Chicago Boosters, at East Chicago, Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m. 'Birth of a Nation' No Better in Sound LOS ANGELES.—The "Birth of a Nation" which re-opened at the President Theatre here after the old silent film had been remade in sound is as objectionable as the original. The story remains the same with the night riding Klan still "heroes" saving pure white womanhood, white supremacy, and the South from empowered "black brutes" of Reconstruction days. The film carries a more degrading messsage as sound makes it more graphic and pungent. SLATE CRASH KILLS CHILD NEW ORLEANS.—(ANP)—Injuries suffered when a pile of slate fell upon her, caused the death of Alvina Stewart, two years old. CAM CAMEL THE ENGLAND POPULAR CIGARETTE Giants Battle Bears; Winner ToGetTrophy Baseball Championship May Be Decided in Sunday's Tilt The Lake County Baseball association championship will probably be decided Sunday when the Giants tackle Jack's Army Bears at Merriville. So far the Giants have taken one game by a score of 8 to 0 due to the splendid work of Gray's hurling. There still remains one or possibly two games to be played, the winner of two out of three taking the crown. Herman Werber, city treasurer of Gary, is offering a silver trophy to the champs and no doubt some airtight ball will be played. The Giants have only one game to win while Jack's Army Store Bears have to win two straight to win the trophy. Jack Shonfield, owner of Jack's Army Store, 1060 Broadway, has been watching the performances of the colored team from the side lines and is almost convinced that the Steel City Giants have the necessary material to make it one of the strongest clubs in Lake county. Should the Giants win Sunday's game it is Shonfield's intention to give them his support for the coming season. "I expect to book the Steel City Giants next year," Shonfield said this week. "I like the way the boys perform. They have the pep and enthusiasm that goes toward the making of a successful team." A large tuornout is expected to witness this tilt. The game is called at 3 o'clock at Merriville diamond, South Broadway near Lincoln Highway. Froebel Begins Busy Football Season Froebel high school gridmen bid fair to win commanding attention during the 1930 football activities. They defeated Washington of East Chicago by a decisive score of 13-0 at East Chicago last Friday night. The grid encounter this week will be between the Froebel boys and Hammond; game to be called Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Hammond. According to Coach Kyle, a number of the regular men from last year's team are out to defend their positions against the oncoming horde of grid aspirants. Earl Smith, halfback, and Louis "Bo" Mallard, left end, both regulars from last season, have won their positions in this year's competition. Oustanding other Negro boys on the football squad this year are Marshall Douglass, guard; Cleveland Gay, tackle; Willie Hart, quarterback; A. C. Jordan, backfield; Ivary Sanders, guard, and John Mullen, end. The first three in addition to Smith and Mallard, will start in Saturday's game, according to Coach Kyle. Lightning melted the metal from the collar of a dog at Tibodeaux, La., but did not injure the dog.

Pulaski Drops Game To Wendell Phillips Wendell Phillips high school football team of Chicago beat East Pulaski, 48 to 6, Saturday on the Chicago team's field to inaugurate the season for the local boys. In spite of the overwhelming score, the Gary gridsters showed marked improvement over last year's team. D. Mitchell at left made good gains and accounted for Pulaski's lone touchdown. According to Coach Lane, the team is better equipped this year for playing. Shoulder pads were obtained three weeks ago and the blue jerseys are being used this year. The team, however, is lacking in helmets and shoes. Read The American. Marion Lynch Probe Fails; AskOgdenAid Grand Jury Returns No Indictments; NAACP Sends Protests (Continued from Page 1) the mob. Sheriff Campbell admittend as much to me when I was in Marion. It is a known fact that other officials and reputable citizens of Marion recognized additional members of the mob and have so testified. I am sure that you agree that law enforcement at Marion has completely broken down and has become a ludicrous thing when such statements are made by those charged with the enforcement of the law and the punishment of the violators of the law. "The entire country is witching to see if Indiana has courage and honesty enough to effect the punishment of those who took the law into their own hands at Marion, constituted themselves judge, jury and executioner and flouted not only the law but human decency. "May we again renew our request of you as Attorney General of the State that steps be taken immediately to bring about the impeachmen of the sheriff, to replace the manifestly incompetent prosecuting attorney and that your office assume under the law complete charge of the prosecution. It is an open and notorious fact that unless such action is taken by your office that the lynchers may with impunity laugh at the State and make the State's law enforcement efforts a hollow mockery. Only by prompt and vigorous action can this terrible stain on the good name of Indiana be removed." Gloria Swanson Makes Talking Hit Gloria Swanson, a star with numerous huge successes to her credit, can now be seen in her latest all-talking comedy riot, "What A Widow," now playing at the United Artists Theater, Chicago. Miss Swanson returned to the talking screen to make "What A Widow" after a long rest which resulted from her strenuous work in"The Trespasser." In the making of "What A Widow," Miss Swanson is afforded the opportunity of introducing the latest Parisian frocks in a smart and cunning style. Gloria Swanson not only introduces the latest women's wearing apparel, but also sings the latest song hits of the year. Assisting Miss Swanson in "What A Widow" are Owen Moore, Lew Cody, Margaret Livingston, and a gigantic cast. The screen version of this picture is based on the story by Josephine Lovett. The position of director of this rolllicking comedy romance was capably filled by Allan Dwan, one of Hollywood's most prominent directors.

Mr. Cannells began his employment with the company May 9, 1889. Upon his retirement he became one of more than 400 veteran employees of the Standard who are at present enjoying the benefits of the company's annuities plan, which is only one of several welfare projects operated by Standard Oil to encourage the interest and cooperation of employees. Retirement, however, is not compulsory and many employees remain at their work by preference. Under the plan, employees who have reached ages from fifty-five to sixty-five and have had twenty to thirty years of service, or who have incurred physical disability or reached advanced age after ten years of service, are customarily relieved from active duty and put on retired pay commensurate with length of service. They may engage in other occupations of non-competitive character if they wish, or they may spend their later years in freedom from the cares of active work. Carr to Manage New Twin-City Weekly Another move in the expansion progarm being carried out by The Gary American was the arrival here this week of J. D. Carr, formerly editor of the Asheville, N.

Mr. Carr, who is widely known as a newspaperman, will have charge of The Twin-City World, second of a chain of newspapers to be published by The Gary American Publishing Co., which will begin publication shortly.

October 4,1930 Youth Cleared As Slayer of Caucasian Boy Grand Jury Hears Death Bed Evidence of Boy; Fails to Indict BLOOMINGTON, Ind.—No indictment was returned against George Isaac Hays, 18, for the fatal shooting of Carl Breedlove, 17-year-old white boy. The grand jury which has been in session since Monday afternoon, made its finding in the case late Thursday afternoon of last week, holding that there was insufficient evidence to convict Hays. Young Hays, who has been held in jail since September 2, the night of the fatal shooting at the Hays home on North Adams street, was released last Saturday morning. The white boy, who lived more than ten days after he was shot in the breast by Hays, made statements to officers before he died in which he exonerated Hays from blame, saying that he had no business going to the Hays home. In his statement, Breedlove said he had gone to the Hays home to take two men, a colored man and an Italian, who were going to visit Hays's mother, Mrs. Victoria Hays, and sister, Lillie Hays. Hays asserted that he believed he was defending himself when he fired the fatal shot from the door of his home, as three men had come to the house the previous night and threatened him. In a writ of ignoramus filed with the court, the grand jury recommended that Hays be released from custody, but also recommended that the grand jury stenographer make a written report of evidence examined in the case that it might be used in the future if any new evidence should be found in the case.
