The ‘one bright spot is the arrest of only 206 Negroes, less than the cus- tomary third of the total. Hard times is given as the main cause. Chief Stanley Bucklind did not list the various charges lodged against those arrested, although it is understood that gambling and liquor law violations were as heavy as usual with lareeny taking a de- cided jump upward. A large num- ber were arrested on suspicion. Three Outlets With the large numbers here out of employment, observers point out that the tendency is to resort to many illegal ways of making a living. There are three main chan- nels open: 1. To have a small amount of money and attempt to get more by indulging in several of the various froms of gambling; 2. To make liquor or sell it, eith- er independently or for somebody else. Drinking seems to continue in spite of unemployment; 3. As a last hope those with eith- er work or money will resort to stealing. In spite of the large number of arrests, scores of those guilty of il- legal activities go unjailed. Many holdups and thefts are still un- solved and will probably remain 80. Expect Increase Officials predict an even greater amount of crime in the winter months when the bare necessities of life are harder to get, unless some semblance of prosperity re- turns and the financial depression is lifted. Out of the 660 total arrests here last month, 504 were of married men, which is also unusual. Those who have married are considered not so likely to embark on a ca- reer of crime. There were 579 males arrested and 81 females. Between the ages of 25and 30, 155 were arrested. Seven over 60 and five juveniles also feli afoul of the law. HELLO, EVERYBODY!

But remem- bering that was making matters worse, he got hold of it and turned it back. to its riginal color.

Will you go across the street to the woman with whom we roomed and get them?” “Tam out to avenge the lily-white virtue, if any, of my true-love Prue, and must hasten,” Reggie answered. “But I cannot see a fair lady in distress.” So he went.

This bill, if passed, provides that within 20 years after its passage, the heirs of those who had slaves taken from them by the proclamation must file pe- tition if they expect to receive compensation. The court of claims will be authorized to give them what they deem is just. When presented, the bill was referred to the committee on judiciary and ordered printed. A Letter To | MacFarlane F. W. McFarlane Principal, Roosevelt High School 25th and Harrison streets Gary, Indiana Sir: Last Saturday's edition of The Gary American carried a front page editorial, “McFarlane Speaks,” which you no doubt have seen. The basis for its composition was the speech reported through the daily press as having been given by you before the Rotary club at the Hote! Gary on Friday, October 3. Following our editorial comment of last Saturday, The American was told that you were misquoted in the daily press. The American has learned from an equally reliable source that the reports carried in the Gary Post-Tribune of your speech are correct. Whether the reports of the speech are correct or incorrect, it is your duty to yourself and the public to make a ‘statement in public print The American will be glad to pub- lish your statement of the matter. Your failure to answer this re- quest will be construed as sufficient proof that the reports of yout speeches as carried in the daily press are entirely correct. THE GARY AMERICAN.

Reggie went. He found the cow mooing love moos to a Bull Dur- ham signboard. She wouldn't go away. So Reggie had to pick her up and carry her home. She was kind of heavy, so our hero had to make four or five trips. Work done, the woman with the moustache wanted to kiss Reggie. But he figured he'd done enough for her. Besides, he wasn't the kind of a boy to let unshaven wom- en ruin his schoolboy complexion. So our hero remounted his steed and again galloped off in all direc- tions. It was that kind of a horse.

Hueston Says We Lack Race Consciousness Addresses : Elks’ Lodge In Baltimore On “Leadership” BALTIMORE, Md. — Declaring that “the sooner the Negro realizes the importance of accumulating capital the sooner will he be able to enjoy the privileges accorded oth- er men,” William C. Hueston, for- mer Garyite, assistant solicitor in the post office department, stressed race consciousness in business dur- ing his address to the members of Monumental lodge of Elks, last Tuesday night. The subject of At- torney Hueston’s address was “The Negro in Prepared Leadership.” Mr. Hueston advocated the train- ing of youth but more emphatically outlined the necessity of preparing a proper field for them to exercise their training. He showed where Negroes spend billions of dollars yearly for food, clothing and neces- ities but make no effort to play a part in handling the commercial program of these products. Race Only Suports Businesses “Give ten Negroes $1,000 each,” he declared, “and every white real estate dealer in the city will clam- or to sell them homes. But the minute the Negro real estate men try to sell homes to white people they are offset by the old appeal to prejudice—'Would you buy from a Negro? This shows that Negro business men must depend on their own race for support.” Other Elk Leaders Present J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, also spoke and outlined the program of the order for the ensuing year. Truly Hatch- etl, exalted ruler of Monumental lodge, acted as master cf ceremo- nies. A motion offered to endorse Mr. Hueston, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hatchett to succeed themselves in office for another year which was received with enthusiasm and unanimously adopted.

Find Missing Porter Chief In New York Three Months Search Is Ended; Robinson Held In $10,000 Bond Say $20,000 Theft Of Group’s Money Pullman Porters Dupes To Swindle Schemes Of Their Secretary NeW YORK.—(Special)—After a search of more than three months duration, private detectives found Oliver E. Robinson, 48, former grand secretary of the Pullman Porters Benefit association _ of America with headquarters in Chi- cago, here in New York. He was held in $10,000 bonds. when ar- raigned before Judge Goodman here Monday morning. Robinson, who was arrested at the request of Chicago police av- thorities, is charged with defraud- ing the porters’ organization of $20,000 by skillful manipulation of its sick and benefit fund. As sec- retary of the organization, Robin- son handled claims, Frequently, a porter would send in a claim for one week"’s benefit, but if the illness lasted for a considerable time he would send in a duplicate claim for the entire period of his illness. Robinson, it is alleged, wouid pass both claims, but withhold one of the checks. The disclosure of the fraud perpetrated by the secretary came after Robinson had resigned from his position on June 30, last, disappearing from Chicago. It is alleged that he resigned only after he became aware that auditors from the Pullman company were investigating his accounts. After hig disappearance he was reported in various places, among them Detroit, Toronto. end New York. The porters’ losses were amply covered by the U. S. Fidelity and Bonding company and their organization made no effort to lo- cate him. Robinson was born in New York and, working on tthe theory that he would return here, Robinson was arresied last week by Detective Nel- son of the West 136th street sta- tion, When arrested, Robinson re- fused to reveal his address. He was elected to the position of secretary to the P. P. B. A. in 1922 and re- ceived a salary of $240 per month, but was said to have been given to the extravagant expenditure of money which in time led to his spending money not his to spend. He is being held awaiting an or- der of extradition from Chicago police authorities. Alleged Slayer of Pierson at Liberty Washingion Bailed Oui; Death Mysery Deepens Scottsburg, Ind.—-Without show- ing any ill effects from his confine- ment of several months, and with a swagger which bespoke unlimited optimism and confidence, George Washington, alleged slayer of E. D. Pierson, Baptist convention audi- tor, strode from the confines of the Scott county jail after being re- leased on a $10,000 bond. The prisoner, who left this little quiet city immediately for Indian- apolis, is now sojourning some- where in the capital city where, it is said, he intends to remain until the date of the trial of the case in which he is implicated. Inquiry at the Scotts county court house as to just when the famous Washington- Pierson murder case will be gone into, has failed to elicit any defi- nite information in the mater. It is all a mystery to Scotts- burg’s two thousand typically Amer- ican citizens, who are still com- menting on the surprise which the governor of Tennessee sprung on Indiana when he refused to honor Governor Leslie's requisition pa- pers secking the extradition of A. M. Townsend of Nashville, wanted here in connection with Pierson’s murder. There is much specula- tion here as to who stood Wash- ington< bond and substantiated a previous stetement made in these dispatches that friends were pre- ‘pared to rally to the call from the aceused slayer for assistance. Ef- forts t secure the least bit of in- formation in this connection have ‘also’ fallen flat. 30) ATTEND WORKERS CONFERENCE BALTIMORE. — Five hundred persons were in attendance Thurs- day morning when the city workers’ conference of the Methodist Epis- copal eburch, with one hundred and fifty out-ef-town delegates from all sections of the country, opencd here.

Ship Illinois dicrinendsae Lambasts Negroes As Democrats Sheriff Campbell Flayed by Speaker First Big South Side Meet in Campaign For Election Declaring that any Negro who bolted the ranks of the republican party to align himself with the democrats was a “damned fool,” America’s only Negro congress- man Jaunched into a typical Oscar DePricst tirade against democratic injustices during a speech before 1,000 Garyites at the 118th Engin- eers pymory Saturday night. Mr. DePriest—hoaty-headed, vig- orous, of compelling stature and personality—talked for an hour in the first big meet on the south side of the fall political campaign. Also on the program were James W. King, Llinois state representative; Otto G. Fifield, secretary of state; Ellza O. Rogers, state republican chairman; Ernest W. Force, Lake county chairman; Joseph B. Kyle, sheriff; Ward Calder, county clerk candidate, and William Weir, city republican chairman, “Revenue” Democrats “Negro democrats in Indiana are democrats for revenue only,” Mr. DePriest stated amid loud applause from the audience. “There is no hope for the black man in the demovratic party,” the speaker as- serted. “The democrat has been the arch-persecutor of the Negro since siavery. No self-respecting Negro can be a democrat; nor will he, if he has a lick of sense, expect anything but persecution and_re- pewed repression from thy disciples of Jefferson. “And as for the present econom- ie depression which democrats lay at the feet of the republican ad- ministration,” Mr. DePriest con- tinued, “they know well enough that depression is not confined to our country, but is felt the world over. They tell the Nezro to vote democratic if he wants : full din- ‘ner pail. I, personally, think that to be free and enjoy all the priv- ileges of citizenship is worth more than 2 full dinner pail. And, any ‘way, the democratic party is made ‘up of smal! fry who don't know enougn about big business to even discuss it.” | Hits Marion Sheriff | In an effort to discredit republi- can rule, under which the double lynching took place at Marion with ‘no indictments returned against ringleaders by a grand jury, cir- culars were distributed outside the armory calling attention to that fact. ‘The congressman seized one of these and said: _ “Had I been sheriff of that coun- ty, the lynchers would have taken those boys only over my dead body. ‘Those officials were guilty of the grossest Kind of cowardice and ‘wanton neglect of duty. I'm against all lynchings, whether the victims be white or colored.” Concluding his speech, the fiery Mlinoisan recited certain insults to which he had been subjected while in congress. He called Representa- ae Alllgood of Georgia a “damned fool” for his resignation from a committee to which Mr. DePriest had been named. “I simply won't ‘stand for any insults from whites |in my role of congressman. They've ‘tried to ‘freeze me out’ but I in- ‘tend exercise every privilege to ‘which I am entitled as a congress- man.” Wine, Woman, Minus Song, Taken by Police - According to legend, winc, wom- ‘an and song usuallly go together. Detective Sergeant Roy Wymore and his squad, consisting of Detec- tives Peter Coleman, Peter Billick and William Mallison, found the wine and the woman at 1890 Mas- ‘sachucetts, one evening last weck, but failed to find the song. They arrested Gladys Lane, of that ad- dress, confiscated the wine, and filed charges against the woman for vi- olation of the state liquor law. The detectives reported that they found eight galions of wine in the process of fermentation. Probably if they had waited until she had “taken the wine off" they would have had a chance to hear the song. DAD, DRUNK, BURNS TO DEATH LYNCHBURG, Va.-Esco Arnett, 29, and his 17-month-old infant were burned in a fire which de- stroyed their home on Timberlake Road, two miles from Lynchburg, early September 22.

The president is not chosen by a direct vote of the people. The voters (all of them men as this re- public has no woman suffrage) elect fifteen senators and thirty six deputies who will mect in a natioal assembly to choose the nation’s head. Constantin Mayard and Sey- mour Pradel, the leading: candidates for the presidency, were in. the race for senators. Election Peaceful There was no disturbance at the polls. The Garde d'Haiti, native military force, was on the lookout for disorder and several units were kept in readiness to be sent out in answer to any riot call.

If you will give us enough to last a day or two, we'll let you keep our money.” “We distrust banks,” one of them added as an afterthought. “There have been so many failures here you don't Know what to expect. Give me a good, honest man any old time.” It developed that Vanentine had $40 on him. He gave it to the strangers. They gave him the pock- etbook and went their way. | Hurrying home with the two men’s money, Vanentine opened the purse to re-count the cash. It contained only newspaper.

He says that the manager himself came up and tried to Reep his money from him, giving him back his change only after all argument was to no avail. As Mr. Bulllet started out of the store, the manager started after him and threatened him with ar- rest for causing a disturbance, he estates. 1 y y ow we wspay tions on the voting Koy President Now eugene Roy, provisional _presi- dent since May 15 when Louis Borno relinquished his dictator- ship of eight years duration, is not a candidate for reelection. Both he and Borno were elected by the council of state, a body of 21 mem- bers appointed by the president to carry on the funetions of a legisla- ture. However, Roy's appointment met with the approval of the peo- ple and was one of the steps taken by the Forbes commission from the U.S. to wipe out existing condi- tions. The marines landed here in 1915 on the pretext. that American inter- vention was necessary following the assassination of President Guillaume Sam. From now on no president can hold office longer than a six year term, according to the new consti- tution adopted in 1918 which Borno, with American aid, kept from functioning, Judge Clawson Frees Campbell; Remarks On His Arrest Ogden Acts; He May Get Triai Changed Citizens Fhreaten New Outbreak if “used BL ae MARION, Ind.—Herbert Cam- eron, who was indicted by the Grant county grand jury in connection with the case for which Shipp and Smith were murdered, asked for and re- ceived a change of venue to Madison county in the circuit court here, Attorneys R.

Ogdon. Immediately following his re- lease, the sheriff started out with the avowed intention of arresting seven men charged by Ogden with being leaders of the mob. They are: Charles Lennon Everett Clark Arnold Waters Robert Beshire Chester Pease Two men known only as Boyd and Praim When residents learned that Sheriff Campbell had set out to ar- ‘rest the lynchers, crowds gathered on street corners and word was bandied about that if arrested, a ‘mob would form and liberate them. : Sheriff Campbell Tie charge against Sheriff Campbell is neglect of official duty. Grant county's grand jury, which had adjourned last week, officially “whitewashed” the sheriff and went so far as to compliment him on the “excellent stand” he had taken in the situation. Ogden then said he would take a hand in the matter. When the lynchers came to the jail, it is remembered, Sheriff Campbell's men threw a smali and inadequate supply of tear bombs in an attempt to disperse them. He refused to fire into their midst on the grounds that he might kill “women and children” who were a part of the mob. Change of Venue Oxden expects to ask a change of venue, it was revealed here. Grant county is believed to be a strong- Ku Klux Klan area. It is believed that it would be almost impossible to secure a conviction by a jury made up of local whites.

The penalty was forfeiture of of- fice. He believed that the $1,000 fine provided by 1905 Indiana lynching law in addition to forfeiture of of- fice as penalty for violation, would be covered by the sheriff's general bond..

Pennsylvania Ice & Coal Co. 300 W. 21st Avenue Phone 9467 PAGE TWO Lose Primary; Seek Jim Crow Lawon Voting Gubernatorial Candidate Blames Bob Church For Defeat NASHVILLE. — (ANP)—L. E. Gwinn, who was defeated by Governor Henry H. Horton for the Democratic nomination for governor, is still harping on the "need of a housecleaning in political parties in Tennessee" and as in August he is now advocating the passage of a Jim Crow Primary Law. The law, which Gwinn suggests or proposes provides for the establishment of separate primaries for Negroes and whites, so Negro men would not be rubbing elbows with white women and Southern white gentlemen. In a statement condemning the manner in which political matters were conducted by both parties in the recent primaries, the defeated democrat stated: "One of the needed legislations in this state is a Jim-Crow primary law. Such a law, leaving it optional with party committees to order separate primaries for the two races, would not violate the Federal Constitution and would end the infamous practice of herding and voting thousands of black Republicans in Democratic primaries." Condemn Bob Church While discussing the "infamous practices" in the past primary in which he was snowed under by Governor Horton, his opponent, Gwinn took occasion to criticize the white folks who dared to follow the leadership of Robert R. Church Jr. who for years has been recognized as a powerful figure in political circles. Particularly did he score the Republican nominee for governor, Mr. Bruce, because he permitted his name to be placed on the same ballot with that of Bob Church. "The Republican nominee," declared Gwinn, "is a gentleman of pleasing personality and business integrity, but his nomination was not a personal triumph but a victory for the Republican patronage machine controlled by Will Taylor and Bob Church. "The Republican State Executive Committee controlled by those men, unanimously endorsed Mr. Bruce. He ran in the same primary and on the same ticket in Shelby County with Bob Church. The fact that the Republican primary in that county was a fraudulent burlesque does not discount the fact that Mr. Bruce ran on the same ticket with Bob Church, nor the equally significant fact the taste of his party sponsors is revealed by the fact that Bob Church, candidate for membership on the State Executive Committee and member of the Republican State Primary Board, received a larger vote for that position than Mr. Bruce received for Governor. "The conduct of the Democratic primary in many places was a disgrace to a civilized commonwealth, but equally disgraceful practices marked the conduct of the Republican primary and there is no reason to believe that the Federal patronage ring, dominated by Taylor and Church, has become a convert to the cause of clean elections and good government since August." Other methods of purging the primaries, according to the belief of Gwinn, include the passage of a corrupt practice act "with teeth in it," a law that would force voters to declare their party affiliations in advance of the primary and the publication of a list of qualified voters in the larger cities. KINGSTREE, S. C.—(ANP) Police here are seeking to find the motorist who ran down and killed John Pressley on State Highway No. 17, near here Saturday night. The body of the aged man was discovered near his home by another motorist who notified the sheriff and the family of the slain man. Now the Male Sock Also Gets Changed Most recent among human possessions to feel the enlivening spirit of this dynamic day is that humble garment, the masculine sock. In a literal sense downtrodden for centuries, the sock is just coming into glorious days. An early example of what socks are doing nowadays is just beginning to appear on the fashionable ankle of Manhattan, in a sock whose clock is no longer a mere line and curlicue, but is instead an exact outline of the Chrysler tower. The slimness of this high structure lends itself well to the clock motif, the twentieth story just covering the ankle and the sixty-fifth story disappearing under the trouser cuff. Another hieroglyphic design proclaims the entrance to a harem, the Purdah of the Sultan's palace. Another is designed to scare off crocodiles, which is a useful function for any socks to perform. Another departure from tradition is the sock that is self-supporting. It stays up on the leg by its own determination and in-woven elastic band at the top. The male of today, it is stated by a leading hosiery company, is the proud possessor of five times as many socks as he had ten or fifteen years ago. The fact that four out of five of his pairs are bought for him by womenfolk might account for this; or the real reason may be the imaginative conception of patterns in the progressive socks of 1930. Hammond News Mrs. D. A. Bethea, of Kenwood avenue, was called to Louisville Tuesday on account of the death of her father.

Resort to Strategy The Venetian generals, in hopes of outwitting the crafty African war lord, have started one of the greatest forced migrations of people in recent centuries. The movement is being conducted with the utmost secrecy in the hinterlands of Cirenaic and Tripoli, North Africa. Eighty thousand tribesmen with 600,000 head of cattle, tents, provisions and household goods have been removed to the Mediterranean coast in an effort to combat Omar El Muctar. Cut Off Supplies Through the enforced migration, Generai Graziani, Italian military chief in the area, hopes to cut off the rebel tribesmen from food and supplies, munitions, recruits, animals and the traditional tithe of one-tenth of the possessions of surrounding tribes. Omar El Muctar is strongly entrenched in the difficult terrain of Gebel in the midst of hills and woods. Armored car squads, two of which are manned by Facist militia, are penetrating through the desert plains of Marmarica and surrounding Omar El Muctar's position. The tribesmen, surrounded by Colonial troops, moved on their own camels hundreds of miles over desert land to the coast. Wells had been prepared and vast tracts of land set aside for them where their cattle can graze. They will live on the coast throughout the winter. lock, president, 1819 Washington street; Chauncey Townsend, secretary, 1819 Washington street; and Fritz W.

Coage, recently elevated to the office of recorder of deeds, assuming his duties with the beginning of the term of the new recorder. Mr. Saunders, who is a native of Montgomery, West Virginia, has been a resident of Washington for five years. He is a graduate of West Virginia State college, having obtained his A.

Woodson, editor of the Journal of Negro History, speaking at an educational conference at the Friends' Meeting House last Saturday afternoon, stated that Negroes have not been taught Negro history because, in a large measure, the Negroes themselves do not care for it. "History is largely propaganda, and the Negro is a poor propagandist." he continued. Invites Attention Scoring the attitude of apparent contempt for Negro history on the part of Negro school teachers, he added: "Negroes are opposed to teaching Negro history because they feel that it will invite attention to the fact that they're Negroes. "Nobody has told the story of the Negro and his tremendous influence on American life. In the South a Negro principal, were he to suggest that Negro history be added to the school curriculum, would be dismissed. "If you teach a Negro that he has a history worth while pretty soon he'll feel that he's just as good as the white man, and then you'll have a lynching." An attempted holdup staged by two bandits failed early Sunday morning when the intended victim, Peter Cyprian, white, proprietor of a confectionery at 2489 Adams street, grabbed a gun and emptied it at the holdup men. They escaped without injury. It was nearly one o'clock when the attempted holdup took place, according to Cyprian. The bandits came into the store and ordered a sandwich. While his back was turned, they gave the command to "stick 'em up." Instead of doing so, he ducked beneath the counter and came up firing. The bandits fled.

Stepin Fetchit has returned for a part in the feature and John Larkin, veteran stage actor and comedian, was cast Monday. King Vidor, who was to direct, fell ill and William K. Howard takes his place. Many colored extras of both sexes are expected to be needed later. KONGO HAS NERO AND DAVIS "Kongo," that weird, gripping tragedy of voodooism, love, and intrigue in the African jungle, reopened on the stage of the Vine Street theatre. Since its first showing over a year ago downtown, it was filmed under the name of West of Zanzibar, with Lon Caney star. Curtis Nero, who was the famous and important character "Fuzzy Good Man" in the original cast, is in the present one. Jas. Davis, noted at the studios as Filmland's only Negro daredevil and stunter, is "Cholo-man" in the stage play. 1000 EXTRAS IN SCENE A scene is soon to be made a few miles away from Hollywood in Cimarion at R. K. O. studio in which 1000 extras will be used showing a great land rush across the plains in the old frontier days. A dozen or more colored players will also be present for the Negro has played some part in all American history.

Riano Tindano and Muttio Momo, the Africans here under bonded guardianship of the U. S.

Convict Three Cops in Philly For Brutality Two White, One Negro Officers Lose Case Filed for Beating PHILADELPHIA.—Charged with assault and battery on two Negroes here, three policemtn, two of them white, were found guilty by a jury sittting in Quarter Sessions court here last Monday. Accusers were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hurley, Will Osborn and Wilbert Polston. Action against the policemen was the result of a beating given Osborn and Hurley a year ago Aug. 24. Axel Peterson and Charles McDermott were the white officers and William Reed was the Negro. At the time of the beating Reed and McDermott were new men just out of the police training school. Mrs. Jennie Hurley, wife of the man who was beaten and proprietor of a produce and chicken store, testified that Peterson threatened Osborne, her manager, with arrest because, as Peterson claimed, her produce stand and chicken coops extended farther beyond the building line than permitted by law. Molested "There was plenty of room for people to pass to and fro by my place," Mrs. Hurley testified. She added that no other merchant in the neighborhood had been annoyed. When she remonstrated with the police officer he walked away, she testified. Later he returned and ordered Osborne to don his hat and coat and accompany him and his fellow officers to the police station. When he attempted to place Osborne under arrest Mrs. Hurley went to the aid of Osborne. Peterson seized her at the throat In the fracas that followed Samuel Hurley was clubbed by one of the officers. One side of his head was split open. Osborne was struck with a blackjack wielded by one of the policemen. It is believed that crows are responsible for the spreading of hog cholora in South Dakota. October 18.1930 Bible Band Classes to Start Tuesday Evening In an effort to show the general public where religion and bible study is a panacea for illness and all forms of despondency, the Rev. A. C. Bailey, pastor of Israel C. M. E. church, is beginning a Bible Band on Tuesday evening, October 21. The name of the stpdy class will be Israel Bible Band, and Joseph Butler will be the teacher in charge of the class. Mr. Butler, when interviewed concerning the purpose of the class, said, "It is to teach you how to live free from all sin, shame and despondency in the same church in which you were converted. Whether you are a Baptist or a Methodist, it is easy to live free from sin, through proper teaching." Everyone is invited to attend this series of bible training meetings and to bring his bible to the class each night, and to read Malachi verses. Watchman, Cop Catch 2 After Alarm Sounds Two young men, Jake Brown, 20, 2343 Washington, and Robert Dameron, 22, 2224 Jefferson, are being held by the police on open charges as suspects in an attempted burglary Monday night. Shortly after midnight thieves tried to enter the Goldstone Loan company at 1058 Broadway. The store is protected by a burglar alarm system. When the thieves tried to enter the skylight, the alarm sounded in the company offices. W. C. Walton, night officer for the company, started for the store and was joined by Officer Charles Hassen. They found the two young men in the alley behind the store. WOMAN ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. FLORENCE, S.

White Georgian Writes Negro History Primer for His Race October 18, 1930 Interracial Group Head Of Education Strikes At Many Fallacies (By Albert B. Eleazer in Baltimore Afro-American) Yes, like measles, everybody has to have them, even the best of us. There the analogy ends, however; for most folks get over measles pretty promptly. Nobody wants to go around speckled forever with a million red bumps. And one would think that nobody would want to go through life with his mind bumpy with misinformation and inflamed with bad feeling concerning his fel- low men. Yet lots of people da just that. No Curse of God 1. For example, a college student gravely informed me the other day that God turned one of Noah's sons black and sentenced his descend- ants to perpetual servitude. He spent half an hour searching the Bible to prove it. He didn't find it, of course, for the Bible says noth- ing of the kind. There is no suggestion that God cursed anybody or that anybody turned black. (Read Genesis 9 and see for yourself.) The scientists tell us that our color variations are due to the influence of climate and environment working through long ages. Probably we were all red at first; the name Adam means “red earth,” you know. Then those of us who settled in the North faded out, while those farther South grew darker. All Right in His Place 2. “Oh, yes,” some one says. “the Negro is all right in his place.” An obvious truth that often hides a fallacy; for generally it means that the man who uses it has already assumed to fix the Negro’s place as one of iftherent inferiority and serv- itude, But has one human being the right thus to rate another and to deny him the chance to improve his status? Am I God that T should set lim- its to the possibilties of any of God's children? Yet that is the philosophy of some today who would keep the Negro ignorant in order to keep him sub- servient and content. It is the phil- orophy of a past age and of pagan- ism. The highest welfare of all, not the selfish convenience of a few, is the only standard that meets the test of twentieth century intelli- gence and Christianity. Negro Intelligence and Ability 3. “But no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or ability.” Do you think not? What about George Carver, the South's fore- most agricultural chemist and Fel- low of the London Royal Society of Arts? What about Phyilis Wheatley, African-born slave who wrote such good poetry that she das compli- mented by President Washington and entertained by the royalty of England? What of Robert R. Moton, head Tuskegee Institute, a school with 2,000 students and an annuai budg- et of half a million dollars? What of Roland Hayes, worid-fa- mous tenor, who sings perfectly in four languages and has been hon- ored by the crowned heads of Eu- rope? What of Mary McLeod Bethune, who has built up a great school for girls at Daytona, Florida, with a plant worth $500,000? No Part in History 4. “The Negro has had no worthy part in American history,” some one says. No? Had you heard that Crispus At- tucks, a Negro, was the first mar- tyr of American independence; that Peter Salem, a Negro, was the hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill; that Salem Poor, another Negro, distin- guished himself in the same battle; that 3,000 American Negroes took part in the Revolutionary War; that General Andrew Jackson warmly commended the courage of the Negro troops at the Battle of New Orleans and credited one of them with the death of the British commander; that Commodore Perry spoke in high praise of the Negro Sanitary Beauty Shoppe 1917 Washington St. —Presents the new and the effective in beauty technique. —®harming chic is available here St moderate cost.

Look up the record, You'll find it interesting. Race Superiority 5. Finally, the most fundamental fallacy of all—the universal “super- iority complex.” Every racial group has it. Each thinks itself better than the rest, and consequently en- titled to exploit the others, if it can. Jews thought themselves better than Gentiles; Greeks felt superior to Romans; and Romans to every- body. We white Americans are just as as dad. We think ourselves the pick of the world—“God's last and best.’ Meantime Chinese and Ko- reans and East Indians look down on us in turn, as vulgar, excitable, noisy newcomers, superficial think- ers and crass materialists. Nor do Europeans think much better of us, if the truth were told. It is high time for the world to outgrow that fallacy. Nobody knows which is the superior race— or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development. History shows that the backward race of one age often becomes the domi- nant race of the enxt, and vice versa. It behooves us all to be humble; to remember that we are all hu- man teings, owing to each other respect and good will. And the more advanced any of us happen to be, the greater is onr obligation to serve the others. | WHITE MAN KILLS WIFE; SAYS NEGRO DID iT HIGH POINT, N.

In his case, which is one of ten criminal cases, exclusive of prohi- bition cases, Mr. Fleming seeks a review of his conviction on a charge of accepting a bribe with the intent to use his influence in his official duties. Attorneys for Fleming seek a re- versing of the judgment because of variance of evidence. The indict- ment charged the receipt of money, it is stated, and the only evidence in the case tended to show that a check had been received. They con- tend that this difference between the indictment and the proof, a check not being money, is fatal to the state's case. Howard University Has An Enrolment of 1.856 WASHINGTON, D.

Axtell, New York city attorney, is trying to locate thir- teen men or their relatives to share in a $46,000 claim filed against the ‘ill-fated Black Star Line ship Kan- awa, according to a statement is- sued Friday. Suit against the company was filed ten years ago for back wage claims against the Black Star Line. Originally the sailors retained Si- las B. Axtell, who secured a judg- ment for them in the United States District court in New York. The de- funct transportation company could not satisfy the judgment. Locate Funds Lawyers in Washington, retained by Mr. Axtell, later located the sum of $22,500, which was a deposit made by the Black Star Line as the initiat payment upon another ves- sel. As the payment was never completed, this deposit was for feited to the United Sta'es. An at- tempt to attach this money was unsucsessful. Subsequently, through the efforts of Senator Wagner and Senator Copeland, a bill was passed en- abling the claims of these seamen to be fi'ed in the Court of Claims. Accerding to the statement of Lu- cien Axtell, the decision in a test case in the Circuit Court of Appeals is favorable to the Kanawa crew. Names of Claimants The following claimants who have failed to keep in tcuch with their attorney and whose whereabouts are unknown are: John Laviscourt, Harold Deroy, William King, Philip Jackson, Herbert E. Cooper, Wil- liam Powell, George Joseph, Reg- inald Caine, Christopher Lewis, Benjamin Campbell, Elias Richard- son, Benno Paul and Norman Neeu- ville. Several of the above men are known to be dead, but their wid- ows and families are entitled to their claims. All may communi- cate with either of the following attorneys: L. V. Axtell, 15 Moore street; Avery Taussig and Fisk, 220 Broadway, New York City, or with ‘King and King, 728 Seventennth street, Washington. NEW LIBERIAN MINISTER KIN OF FRED DOUGLASS WASHINGTON.

Loses Wife, Cash ‘To Voodoo Woman NASHVILLE. — Frank Thomas, who turned his wife over to a voo doo woman to have her cured of an ailment, is now minus his money and his wife. The voo doo woman won her love and now both of them are missing. The ailment from which Mrs. Thomas was suffering, according to her husband, was an “unfounded belief” that he was doing too much for the grown daughter of his wife by a former marriage. This ail- ment had caused them to quarrel frequently and several times she had threatened to leave him or to put the daughter out of the house, Of course, there was no truth in the belief, declared Thomas, but it was an ailment which no ordinary doctor could cure, so he sought the soothsayer. For three days he waited, believ- ing that his wife was engulfed in the mysteries of voodooism which would restore her to her right mind and tranquility in his home. But alas, he waited in vain and she failed to “return in the night” as predicted. He, in company with a squad of police, went to the voo doo woman's home, only to find it vacant. ‘Therefore, Thomas is minus a wife and the sum of $25, but he still has the daughter.

Ph, 27817 Woolworth to Use Negroes in Chicago Stores Fight by Weekly Ends In Victory; Pickets Used Extensively CHICAGO, — After waging un- ceasing war for more than a year on those businesses on the south side which get their income from Negroes but refuse to hire them in return, the Chicago Whip, in conjunction with several other agencies, finally won a signal vic- tory last week when the F. W. Woolworth five-and-ten cent chain promised to employ colored girls in stores operating in that section. As a result, twenty one girls were hired as clerks in a new store lo- cated at Sist street and Calumet avenue, which was supposed to open many weeks ago but didn't due to the sentiment in the neigh- borhood. Warfare against Woolworth’s was carried on by means of editorial comment, street corner speeches and picketing. So powerful was the campaign that the three stores in the Negro district lost thou- sands of dollars, the clerks re- maining idle even at the height of the busy season. Those who did go into the store were sometimes bombarded with old fruit and eggs by residents of the vicinity. Ends Old Policy This decision to hire colored girls brought to an end a fifty year PAGE R a era of discrimination in " Negroes were employed except | menial capacities. * br In the progress of the fights” pickets came under the control of “Big Bill” Tate, once a demo heavyweight mauler.

Bi The Chicago Whip classes its victory as “signal, though incom= plete,” and plans to renew the at- tack on other stores which have as yet failed to bow to the popular de- mands. ‘The paper clain s to have placed more than 2,000 Negroes in jobs which heretofore had been de nied them. During the progress of the Wool worth fight, many leaders became alarmed and suggested that thé newspaper “lay off.” Attempts were made by several others, ap- parently working in the interest of. the Woolwurth company, to call off the agencies working azainst the then prevailing conditions. 1 SEEKS $20,680 FOR SON’S DEATH SHREVEPORT, La. — (ANP) — Suit has been filed in Caddo Parish district court whereby Willie Wil- son seeks to recover damages of $20,680.50 from Hodges, Inc., for the injury and death of his son, Willie Wilson Jr., which, the peti tion alleges, was caused through the negligence of the defendant.

SOCIAL BRIDGING : When whist—the foundation and predecessor of bridge--was played here many years ago, the players took the game seriously. Few of them were very young; none of them thought of whist as a basis for other social functions. But time and Russian whist (“baritch” or bridge) have changed all .that While there are still many games “for the sake of the game,” most of the large bridge-parties are given for one ulterior motive or another —for club improvements, for char- itable work, for educational or po- litical funds, to announce an en- gagement, or to introduce a guest of honor. In subscription bridge, price- marked tickets are sent out by the committee in charge, and accept- ances with checks are mailed to the treasurer. When a bridge party is given to announce a daughter's engagement, the cards of the moth- er, the daughter and her fiance are inclosed. On the mother's card (only) are written date, hours, “Bridge” and r. 8. v. p. This is true, too, of the hostess’ card at a guest-of-honor bridge. The guest's card is inclosed.

Wells INCREASING NOISES |'MEAN MORE Oa eS erat gp oe g oem arg eee ee ‘The city of San Juan, Porto Rico, has started a crusade against the multitudinous noises which have made that city a terror to the ner- vous, though how it could be worse than cities in the United States, or even as bad, is hard to comprehend. Carelessness in regard to noise has been growing among us of re- cent years, and contrivances for making noise have been multiply- ing with equal pace. As a result, nervous diseases have alarmingly increased, and peace of mind has almost been forgotten. We need to curb these thoughtless and selfish noises, and curb them with the severe hand of the law. At the same time we need to remem- ber that peace of the spirit is even more important than peace of the atmosphere. A quiet soul that moves unruffled through the many distractions of life, is a priceless possession, and we can have it from God and from Him only. He is our peace. He is the Prince of Peace, of quietness, and as we enter His realm we leave all discordances behind. “He maketh peate in thy bor- ders.” Read PSALM 147:6-14.

It’s long Trek From Eden to ~ Modern Dress First Clothing Store Was Established in 1830 In Massachusetts Ry Sule Myers Once upon a time Adam and Eve fecording to all reports, attired themselves only in the warm ‘breezes which swept lazily across the Garden of Eden. Then there was only peace and contentment. It is a historical fact that at the same time trouble romped into the life of Adam, his wife began wear- ing clothes. The more trouble Ad- am had the more clothes Eve wanted. It seemed as if the illus- trious Iady’s fig leaves were always drying out, or changing color, or were being mixed up with the let- tuce intended for the salad at the evening meal. And now, thousands of years since, there is still as as much bother about clothes. Although it often seems as if the style trends of the present day are rushing back to the time before Eve fed Adam his first applesauce, the span of elapsed time has seen many changes in the art of cloth- ing. Garments have now become quite complicated in their appar- ent simplicity. The hand spun gowns which draped the gracefully beautiful form of a Cleopatra are not in finish and softness, the equal of what the average Ameri- ean girl can buy for a few cents a yard. Machinery, with its minute preciseness, produces garments that are almost technically perfect. Early Fur Coats In the early days of civilization the soft hides of fur bearing ani- mals furnished the needed protec- tion against the cold and for mod- esty’s sake. In those days indeed, it was a simple matter for a hus- band to furnish a fur coat for a nagging wife. “Honey,” wifey would probably say, wily then as now, after sup- per was over, “I saw a coat I'd like to have running through the forest. Do you think you can track it down and bring it home to mamma?” To which hubby would probably reply then as now, “Sing ‘em, baby.” But the next day, conditions be- ing favorable, Mr. Caveman would venture into the woods, and would probably return dragging a dead lion or tiger or whateveritwas by the tail. Then he would skin the animal and Mrs. Caveman would have a new fur coat. Now, times have changed. In buying a fur coat these days, it’s usually the husband who gets skinned. The making of wearing apparel by weaving grasses together was a slightly more difficult procedure than merely removing the whole pelt of wild beasts. Weaving was known to the most ancient peo- ples of whom we have any knowl- edge. Wool, flax, silk and cotton have always been used to make clothes. Sexes Dress Alike The dress of the ancient Greeks, typical of the clothes worn by near- ly all of the ancients at that time, were loose flowing robes of home- spun cloth. The dress of man and ‘woman was quite similar. In fact, if the man had not worn a beard it would have been impossible to tell which was male and which was female from the attire. These gar- ments were shapeless and were draped about a person, being held Are you in need of "MONEY See Sam at 1604 Broadway Phone 2-3477 THE GARY AMERICAN, GARY, INDIANA Every Room Is Im proved by a Mirror . , ie LY gy ¢ Nae esse aa bi 3 H * | * | Imagine the gay reflections to be seen in this large mirror when the children (young and old) roll back the rugs and begin to dance! In this attractive room all the reflec- tions are charming. Mirrors have a great way! Their ornamentation makes them impor- tant pieces of decorative furniture. The liveliness of their reflections makes “good company” and it's almost as good as having an extra window or door in the room, to have a large mirror. That is because a mirror gen- erously gives back all the light coming into it. If it is full length, then there seems to be another room in which one may pass as through a door. at the waist by a small girdle. A short skirtlik garment was also often worn by men, to the to- tal exclusion of everything else. Even today, primitive tribes are at- tired only in the breech-clout. And then, on down through the ages, different and varied types of clothing were produced. Each era found some new garment added until, in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries it often looked as if there should be two people standing in the place occupied by milady or her courtier. It is not definitely known when the first—er— underclothes came into being. But it is truthful to say that under-things have become comfortable only in the past 75 years. It is equally safe to say that our forefathers never dreamed of anything remotely resembling the filmy silken things in the brilliant rainbow hues now sought after by every woman. And if the vener- able Knights of King Arthur's court could set their eyes on the striped B. V.

But the best ‘possible construction anyone ean put upon love is that which brings the most happiness, the most beauty. Now then, we feel very much like an argument, and will clear the decks for action. We will juggle all our most brilliant logic; and if no one Writes in to the column and tells us where we are wrong, or wants to know what we are talk- ing about, we will know there has been no debate, for everybody agrees with us! Romantic love is that between man and woman. It is a great mas- querader, and likes to dress itself up in music, soft lights, dancing, laughter, bright glances, sympathy; but alas, not very often in real friendship. Poets, philosophers, (in- cluding the every-day variety), and really well-meaning people idealize love. They exalt it, and spoil it, and completely misunderstand it, Knowing it to be the leading hu- man emotion, even transcending hate or ambition, they treat it as an all-powerful deity, to be wor- shiped and obeyed regardless of consequences. They forget its biological begin- nings, and that, by placing it on a false throne, it may become a very bad love indeed. The urge began in the same way that daisies people the fields, that the algae on the meadow pond make a green scum, that the rob- in’s trill at sundown on the peak of the barn roof is particularly joyous in May, that the moose's love call reverberates through the forest. Man's heart awakes to the same call. But he thinks it is playing a different tune for him. He makes a fetish of it, and bows down in- stead of looking up to it. He an- swers his emotion blindly, for he thinks it is sufficient and holy rea- son for doing what he wants to do “O Love, what crimes are commit- ted in thy name!" High school and college days are filied with the experiences of light loves. Flirtations are passe new; they are the pale wickedness of the Gay Nineties. It is now the grim | feverish, relentless trial of youth She’s through PAGE FIVE. with sophistication and_ license, Troubled marriages are not met with stoic patience, but are bey 2 repudiated, Little ehlidren ate bewildered, or hardened. A loyal wife is deserted for some one who “understands.” What a gloomy pic- ture! But these things are not love, They are just something guilty. It is human for boys and girls to dabble with the pains and ee- stacies of love, and often get their ‘little fingers burned thereby. It is human to fall in love with another ‘woman's husband. It is human to follow the imperious dictates of one's heart. It is human to mis- take these guilty passions for Love. The love that should be idealized is the one that holds above itself honor, duty, mercy, the best good for the most people. The problems of deepest complication, no matter | where, nor of whom, nor why, can always be answered by the simple words, “The RIGHT thing.” Real love is always guiltless. Paris Wears Jewel Belt on New Gowns PARIS.—Probably the outstand- ing gown introduced to Paris this month, in the advance dressmaker collections of winter clothes, is the costume done in the manner of Shakespeare's Juliet—black velvet gown with trailing skirt, fitted waistline, broad decolletage, leg-o- mutton sleves, and jeweled belt. Unlike the other dresses Paris is making right now, the waistline of the Juliet gown is marked by a belt that is placed somewhat below the normal waist, while the gown it- self follows the natural lines of figs ure. Thus the belt makes its ap+ pearance only when the gown be- gins to make the outward curve to- ward the hips. On Juliet gowns of black velvet, the jeweled belts are in dozens of varieties —all- silver, with big loz- enges joined by chains; simulating old-fashioned jeweled belts, with coral, turquoise and jade in elab- orate settings of old gold; clear crystal links. Sometimes, when the gown has sleeves that are tightly fitted from the elbow to the wrist, there is a bracelet matching the belt, worn halfway up the fore- Read The American. Avondales Play Tie Game; to Meet Duneland Gridsters Next PAGE SIx After Resting Saturday, Other Teams Get Back In Action on Fields Great defensive football by both ‘the Avondales and the Tolleston Orioles, white, and erratic offensive playing resulted in a scoreless tie ‘at Armory field last Sunday after- moon. The Avondales get in action again this Sunday when they meet the Duneland A. C., another good white team, in what promises to ‘be a spirited contest at the same field. Avondale’s lone chance to score ame three minutes before the end of the first half after a pass from Exum, former Wisconsin gridster, ‘to Smith had placed the ball with- in one yard of the Oriole goal. But tthe Tolleston line held. The ball “was relinquished when first down ‘was missed in successive plunges. . The second half featured an aerial attack by both teams. But ngain the defense was too great for either side to make threatening gains. However, the Orioles had worked the ball down to Avondale's three yard line when the game ended. Besides the Tolleston game Sun- day, the Avondales have won from the Morgan Park Monitors, 7 to 0, and have lost to the East Chicago Boosters, 18 to 0. FROEBEL PLAYS HALL TIP.

For the first time in the history of colored Inter-collegiate Association footoall, “Thunderbolt” Gaines, of Hampton, and “Dynamite” Kane of Lincoin university, the all-America tackle of '29, hailed as two of the best tackles playing college football today, will measure their strength against each other when the two elevens meet in Yankee stadium in New York on November 1. Sam Gaines is well known in metropolitan football circles. He was playing his second year as ail- American when Hampton met Lin- coln at the Polo grounds last year, and it was at that time the irresist ible onslaughts of the 200-pound tackle earned him the sobriquet- of “Thunderbolt.” Hampton lost the game, 13-6, and the championship title which it had held three years. The work of Gaines, however, was outstanding for the losers. Kane, of Lincoln, 5 feet 10 inches tall, is an inch taller than Gaines, but weigh several pounds less. He originally played a guard position on his team, it was at guard, on the side away from Gaines, that he played in the Lin- coln-Hampton battle of '29. Imme- diately after that game Kane was shiftel {o tackle and started the sensational playing which led to his being bracketed with Gaines as the alll-American tackle filed in this court his complaint, af- fidavit and bond for attachment of certain property alleged to belong to you, and also his affidavit that you are a non-resident of the State of Indiana. You are therefore notified that said cause has been set for hearing on the 10th day of November, 1980, and unless you appear at that time and answer his complaint, said cause will be heard in your absence, and an order made for the sale of said property.

The Dixies won last Sun- day’s encounter, 9 to 8, when the game broke up in an argument. Neither team scored until the second inning when the Giants tallied twice. Both nines went scoreless in the third frame but in the fourth the Dixies brought in a pair and nicked up another in the pair and picked up another in the a couple to niake the official count all in their favor, four to three. In the fifth and sixth the Dairy boys scored six times and took the lead which they held. The Giants annexed four more and were one behind when the game ended in the ninth after a questionable decision on an attempted theft of second base. Pearson, of the Dixies, had a good day at bat, getting two hom- ers and a walk.

Grid Star Back field ae Named In High School on AllCity Team NEW YORK.—(ANP)—All of the nice things said about Manuel Ri- vero, the new colored sensation on Columbia's football team, are being fulfilled. That the new style of lat- eral pass play adopted by Columbia is working so smoothly is due large- ly to the manner in which Manuel Rivero is progressing. For a ball carrier with practically no experi- ence except that derived from two years of high school football, Ri- vero shows promise of developing into a figure of national recogni- tion. With Rivero able to perform so well, it means Coach Little has an- other strong running back to pair with either Hewitt or Stanzyck on the lateral, and doubles the effec- tiveness of this new wrinkle. The dark-skinned athlete, who is also a promising swimmer and baseball player, according to Little, is one of the quickest thinking men on the sguad. Not only is he fast menially, but Rivero is given credit for being an even faster man in prev + he Neti: of October 18, 1930 out much in the spring because of baseball, so was practically a green product when he reported this fall. However, he quickly adopted coach- ing suggestions and Little is seri- ously thinking of turning him into a quarterback and will surely use him in that post if anything hap- pens to Hewitt. On top of his offensive ability, Rivero uncorked unexpected tal- ents on defense in games so far, surprising even the coaches by the viciousness of his tackles and his perception of plays while working at the wing back. The newest Lion star came to this country from Cubs when he was about ten years old. After at- tending Stuyvesant High, where he did nct take much part in athletics, Rivero went to Textile, where he was a gridiron ace for two years, gaining recognition by a place on the New York Telegram’s all-schol- astic ‘eam in 1928. Plan to See Third North-South Game Graduates of both Tuskegee and Wilberforce who are now residing in Gary are planning to invade Chi- cago to witness the third annual foothall game between Tuskegee and Wilberforce which will be played at Soldier Field Stadium on October 25. The game marks the third time that the teams have met. In 1928, in their initial game in the bowl at Tuskegee, the Tigers and Bulldogs fought to a 6-6 tie. Last year at Soldier Field stadium the Southern- ers won by a 6 to 0 score.

VOL. III. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930 No. 48 Haiti Holds an Election HAITI marched to the polls this week to hold its first parliamentary election since American meddling began in 1915. The 800 marines stationed there were ordered to be kept in their barracks. These official gunmen are supposed to be the only ones who can maintain order in the island republic, yet the election was as orderly as any taking place in the most peaceful U. S. hamlet. In comparison, a Chicago election would have sounded like a revolution. President Herbert Hoover seems to be following out his plan to do what he can in atoning for the actions of past administrations. The United States, as the world knows, has never had any real right in Haiti. The only real excuse for our country's dictatorship is our imperialistic policy a policy so successfully insidious as to thrust our control of affairs on the two continents down as far as the southern limits of Central America. The sooner the whole mess is cleared away, the better. American control has meant nothing but suffering and bitterness. Uncle Sam's marines have behaved like devils on a spree. They have slugged the men and attacked the women. Louis Borno, American puppet whose term expired May 15, set up a dictatorship with American consent and marine backing, which reeked and stank of large scale graft. Now Borno is gone. When our official gunmen are given transportation away from Haiti, fumigation of the country will be very near completion. Hoover should be commended for the good work he has done in this affair. What makes this more valuable is the fact that our learned president has done so little to merit applause. The Investigation Ends SHIPP and Smith still lie unavenged. Unwashed are the hands of Indiana which permitted two black boys to die by lynching for a crime they may never have done. Grant county's grand jury, supposed to investigate the Marion atrocity, adjourned without a single indictment being returned against a ringleader. Yet they could and did find sufficient evidence to indict Cameron, the youth the mob didn't get. But what is the grossest insult of all to Hoosier Negroes is the clean bill of heath given Sheriff Jake Campbell, who stood twiddling his thumbs while a mob entered the jail and dragged his prisoners away to death. The mobbists, realizing they were as safe in Marion as in the deepest reaches of darkest Mississippi, prepared for another orgy last week when Ezekiah Burten, stepfather of Cameron, shot his stepdaughter and two white policemen. Mindful of the disgust with which sister states viewed the last Indiana spree, officials rushed their prisoner forty miles away to safety. In such a fashion does Indiana, breeding place of the once powerful Klan, hotbed of bigotry, cradle of intolerance brazenly show herself to the world. We know of no northern state that would permit a lynching without a sincere attempt to apprehend the guiding spirits. We know of no northern state which would cleanse the record of a sheriff so grossly negligent as Jake Campbell. Nor do we know of any northern state with citizens so degraded that, having gorged themselves on the dying cries of fellow-beings two short months before, would howl again so soon for more human flesh. Attorney General James Ogden, who has been talking since the whole disgusting business began, has at last been roused to action. He has filed charges against the sheriff and seven members of the mob. It remains to see what will come of it all. But today Justice, blind and bleeding, lies moaning by the side of the road. She expects aid and her wounds to be dressed. Already one group has rubbed them with salt. What willl the state itself do? Exploding a Popular Fallacy Exploding a Popular Fallacy REPRINTED IN another column is an editorial from the Philadelphia Tribune, outstanding weekly in the city of Brotherly Love, which casts much blame on machines for the present unemployment situation. While the arguments advanced are not new, they do seem to be somewhat fallacious. Prior to the Industrial Revolution which started in England several centuries ago, history records more general suffering than has been occasioned in any modern western civilized country today. Each man was his manufacturer and agriculturist. Fewer people could be supported in a given locality because of the tediousness of hand labor and the fact that there were no means to speed up production or advance crop turnovers and cultivation. The introduction of machinery permits a nation to support a larger population. Where large populations are in existence and little or no machinery in use, suffering becomes as widespread as in medieval days. Witness China and India. Japan supports its millions in a minimum of space only because machinery is put to every use which modern science devises. Many people cling to the idea that the introduction of one big machine throws scores of people out of work. On the contrary. It takes human labor to produce each machine; and if not to produce it then to formulate plans for its making and to finance its construction. The greater the number of machines put in operation, the greater the amount of human labor essential for their running and for their building. It is a wheel which revolves for the good of labor. Anti-machine ideas appear even more fallacious when it is remembered that only by such methods is the laboring man able to elevate his standards of living. There is no real similarity between the commonplace occurrences of the 15th century laborer and his meal of coarse bread, a boiled potato, the working man of today. The serf ate perhaps, and water. Finished, he went to work on a small piece of land. Then home that night to a hut with an earthen floor and a roof through which he could count the stars. No amusements befitting the name. No books, no electric lights, no telephones, no movies, no radios, no street cars, no automobiles—none of a thousand things which even the humblest o ftoday's workers accept as essential to existence. Nor was the lot of the nobleman better. His life without modern conveniences, produced only because of machines, would be looked down upon today by a $15 a week worker. The dress of the growing child is much finer in texture today than that worn by the Roman conquerors. Other Papers Say POINT COUNTER-POINT (Philadelphia Tribune) Last Thursday night in a speech delivered before the National Bankers Association in Cleveland, President Hoover, in citing the progress made in industry in the last decade, pointed with pride to the tremendous evolution and employment of the machine as a labor-saving device, and with almost the same breath, told of the inundating wave of unemployment and its devastating effect upon the economic morale of the world's leading republic. The advance and unprecedented progress made in the mechanical sphere is indeed a point to be etched on the record of the civilization of any people; while on the other hand the dearth of employment and the unchecked reign of poverty in its direness throughout the nation is an obvious counterpoint to the progress which might have been the result of so complete an evolution of mechanisms. Thinking minds throughout the country and throughout the world have concluded that the cause of the United States' grave and immediate problem is that very progress which the Chief Executive very rightfully pointed out as being singular. One must marvel at the ability of one to create a machine that will mix, spread and pack concrete; or one that in the mighty sweep of its powerful mechanical hands, can remove as much soil as could twenty men, but one's ears sicken as they hearken to the sound of the voices of that same twenty as they mingle in a plea for bread with the cold, inanimate sound of steel. No wonder then that the Pennsylvania Avenue resident could also say that one of the causes of the immediate depression was the over-production of commodities of which the United States normally consumes ninety per cent. And why has this production exceeded the consumption to such a marked degree? The world points to the machine. There is some wonder, however, about his having said that one could not doubt for a minute the ability of this powerful people to pull through this economic crisis, just as they had always done; for in all of the other "business slumps," the population has never had to fight so tense a battle with a dual-point-counter-point to its very existence.. So it reduces itself to the hum of the machine versus the plea of the masses for bread. CLINIC ON LYNCHING (Kansas City Call) The first scientific study ever attempted into the causes underlying lynching is begun. Leading white and Negro citizens form the commission which is initiated and sponsored by the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation. The men who make up this body hold positions of leadership in the south and they will be respected in their activities and findings. Lynching hitherto has been investigated principally by Negro agencies. It is a tribute to the virility of the truth that even such mere scratching of the surface as our investigators could make, with the public officials usually against them, has brought the question up to the point where this powerful body takes up the burden. How far actual crimes incite retaliation and how far hate is the sole cause of lynching and other race wars will be told in the findings. With the facts before them, state legislatures can make laws to wipe out this form of lawlessness. Or, if they will not, the certain ground for demanding federal action will be provided. The investigation will take time, and other lives will be the clinical material, but after all the cause of truth will eventually be advanced. Indeed, the task of making this a law-abiding nation should see in this latest move the fruit of a few years and a few devoted workers. They should take heart and join with forward-looking groups.

The waitress at my favorite restaurant bring in hot coffee cold enough to make an espine do the highland fling and I am too tranquil to sit. But every time I see a man engaged in the maiden of teaching public school, unless it be as principle as a manual training or physical education instructor into a mental frenzy. Male public school teachers seem to be as out of touch as ridiculous as a draft horse in an auto show. Some think of pink underthings and Love-Me the teacher. They are as essential to humanity and contribute to progress as a boil on the back of a neck. The college professor has a chance to create and draw some semblance of intelligence. A robot can teach grade or high school and get a new contract for the following year. Subjects taught in grade and high school scratch only the surfact in their respective fields; require nothing more than casual intellectual activity to put them across. Few teachers exert themselves more than is necessary to hold their jobs. And, out of school, they spend their time recuperating from a strain of telling the youth of the land that George Washington was the father of his country and that he are root of nine is three.

Marshall Davis The Health Question (Health Editor, The Gary American) when you change your physician during a serious illness taking a great risk. The danger is just as great horses in the middle of a stream, or changing middle of the street.

There are no the same remedies in is thrust upon the same deductions then the patient is When you change your physician during a serious illness, you are taking a great risk. The danger is just as great as changing horses in the middle of a stream, or changing tires in the middle of the street. The doctor on the case has had an opportunity to study the various phases of the case and what the patient's reaction is to the various indicated remedies. This of course, has taken time. Now he is able to proceed with his treatment in a logical order. There are no two individuals who will respond to the same remedies in the same manner. When the new man is thrust upon the case, he has to hurriedly go through the same deductions as the former physician has done. Then the patient is weaker now than he was a little while ago and is less able to stand going through this third degree medication. "But this is a free country, why can't I change my doctor if I become dissatisfied?" is a question that is often asked. Sure, this is one's own affair. However, for the good of our loved ones we should do what is best for them. In most cases, where you feel that there is something more that can be done, it is better to ask your physician to call another in consultation. If you have in mind some one doctor, then suggest his name. You will find one medical man in half a hundred, who will object. In fact, most physicians welcome consultation. Perhaps the only hesitation you will find, is where there is doubt about paying the consulting physician. It is very embarrassing to a physician to call in a colleague on a case, then after the consultation is over, to have to ask him to wait for his fee. But on the other hand, if there is some reason why you prefer to change outright, the ethical thing to do is to settle with your physician for the services rendered so far, and tell him that the family has decided to make a change. This leaves the former doctor in good spirits and also makes the new doctor feel better. Some folk feel that they are making themselves good with the new physician by lambasting the old one. Here is where they are sadly mistaken. The average doctor becomes suspicious when you begin to run down the other fellow. He knows that you have either failed to pay him or have mistreated him in some other way. In some communities, where the ethical standing of the physicians are very high, one will not take a case until he is satisfied that the former doctor has been properly discharged. However, in big industrial centers, this plan is not adhered to very closely. It often happens that the patient is unable to get his own doctor at the time when needed, so he calls in another. Doctors, themselves, will usually answer all first calls. Then at this first visit, they can decide whether or not they wish to go on with the case. Where the fees are paid promptly it is much easier to decide. But in a great majority of cases of protracted illness, the family is continually pestered by every Thomas, Richard and his brother Harry, advising you to change. In many instances a person will change just to satisfy the enigbors or the neighbors' children; just as in the case of the woman who married a man to get rid of him; or the woman who took poison a few days ago, just to please her husband. When a friend advises a change in physicians, you are under no more obligations to do so than you would be if he advised a change in church, in politics, or in wife or in husband. Anyway, mother knows where to find her tree-sitting boy or girl... If a poet can't put fire into his verses he should reverse the process. # Dr. Dennis A. Bethea Digesting The News A few weeks ago our papers chronicled the fact that the Spingarn Medal committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would henceforth meet during January on February of each year so determine the successful nominee for the award for the previous year. This fact in itself is merely an incident in the selection of the distinguished member of our race whose achievements have been the most meritorious in a given year. It is worthy, however, of careful analysis by this column so that the readers may possibly have a the very important part that is more thorough understanding of possible for them to take towards the selection of the most suitable nominee. The real value of such awards as the Spingarn Medal, Harmon Award or the Walker Gold Medal Award, etc., lies in the inspiration that is offered for individual achievement and the distinction gained by the recipient seems to lend particular stress, and much emulated energy by others, towards achievements in the same field. Realizing, then, that such is the real value of such awards we should be particularly careful in selecting the field of energy that we wish to so distinguish with an honorary premium. The Harmon Award is given (beginning with 1930) to the successful nominee in each of eight distinct classes of endeavor. The Walker and Spingarn Awards are not so divided, confining their selection to the one individual whose achievements seem most worthy. The Spingarn Committee passes only on the nominations that are sent in to them in accordance with their prescribed form. Inasmuch as this is the oldest nationally established honorary award, being first established in 1914, the Spingarn Medal roll of honor is internationally recognized as indicating the trend of our achievements. For that reason we should be exceptionally careful in giving to the world the correct impression. With one exception the Spingarn Medal has not been given for achievement in the field of commerce and business. The political field has never been honored. There are no fields greater than the commercial and political avenues in which we need, as a race, to progress and are progressing. If there is any line of endeavor in which we should encourage our leaders and individual "go-getters" it is in these two fields. Therefore, if the awarding of a medal, especially one with such universal significance as the Spingarn Medal, will inspire our individuals to greater effort, then, it would be most consistent and entirely desirable to show a greater recognizance to achievements in the commercial and political fields. Our need for greater achievement in the commercial and business life should be apparent to all without any further defense of the statement, at this time, and in keeping with our economic progress we must also maintain our quota of political representation in order to adequately protect that which we gain commercially. We admire and respect all members of our race who by their study, training and accomplishments are worthy of honorary consideration, whether in the field of literature, music or social service, but we have arrived at the point where the man or woman who, by his or her efforts, can create and maintain an enterprise that will give employment to a hundred or a thousand of our race, should be equally, if not more worthy of honorary consideration than those whose efforts are merely for the entertainment of hundreds or thousands. By the same reasoning, the man or woman who, by his or her ability, qualifications and prestige, can hold an elective or appointive seat in our government, local state or national, and by sheer respect and influence emits an atmosphere that reflects creditably for the race, then, that person should be entitled to the same honorary distinction as accorded to others in the arts and sciences. In this modern age, with swift and convenient transportation, rapid means of communication and constant travel, location should not enter into the consideration when choosing a meritorious career. We have men and women in every state in the union who are achieving wonders in their local field in helping us to solve our economic problem. No matter where they are located if they are creating dollars and employment for the race they are worthy of mention. In the accomplishment of each there is some lesson worthy of emulation by others. The Negro is especially noted for his aptitude in following the action of others and it is to be hoped that in the giving of future honorary awards that a precedent and an inspiration will be offered by recognizing some of our commercial and political leaders. It is definitely up to you, the reader, however to first nominate one who is worthy of such honorary distinction. Will you do it? Two water spouts, 50 feet high and lasting 20 minutes, rushed over the surface of the bay between Naples and Capri, Italy. Crowds of people on the bathing beaches there witnessed the phenomenon. A towel that disappeared two years ago from the Y. M. C. A. in Council Bluffs, Ia., has just been sent back to the institute by the conscience-stricken person who took it. October 18,1930 Pertinent Paragraphs Hoover "Press Sheet" Started. Word comes from Washington that persons interested in trying to offset the adverse publicity the Hoover administration has received are financing the publication of a weekly tabloid extolling the virtues of the engineer and his projects. The name of the publication, according to reports, will be "Washington." The first issue will make its appearance Saturday. Our "engineer" does not need a publicity organ to tell what he has done, unless it will be large enough to tabulate the number of commissions appointed. What he needs most is investigators to "investigate" what the commissions have done, before there will be any news for his publication.

It seems a long time before the national political conventions of 1932. But "coming events cast their shadows before them." Two men, of opposite parties, but both advocating repeal of the 18th amendment, are growing into fine "presidential timber." Dwight W. Morrow, former ambassador to Mexico, friend of President Hoover, father-in-law of Lindbergh, is a candidate on the republican ticket for the senatorship of New Jersey. He says that the 18th amendment, referred to by the president as a "noble experiment," has failed. (Hoover has not as yet endorsed his friend's candidacy.) In his opening campaign speech, Morrow said, "I look forward with pleasure to voting for President Hoover two years hence." But he did not say he would refuse the nomination. Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic governor of New York, relative of the late "big stick" of the republican party, friend of Al Smith, is a candidate for reelection to succeed himself. He has declared himself opposed to the 18th amendment. Add this to many other liberal qualities, and you have a potent possibility of democratic leadership.

Dr. Delaney Says By Dr. F. S. Delaney (Superintendent. Stewart House) "The Three Eenmies of Human Happiness are Ignorance, Fear and Selfishness." Every child comes into the world ignorant. Its individual existence begins with the emotion of fear and its consciousness of personal responsibility has its source in selfishness. These three enemies of human happiness have impinged themselves upon every human being which come into the world, in less than three hours after his arrival and they follow him and haunt him in a greater or lesser degree through his entire earthly career. They may vary in prominence and position, they may even change respective positions, relative to strength and dominance; at times one or more may appear to be dominant but in the last analysis every one remains and they are always with us, and like the wild beast of the forest may approach us from before or crouch and spring upon us from behind. Ignorance limits our vision. Fear circumscribes our activities, and selfishness destroys our opportunities. These enemies have no special victim or race, they are all deceptive and tend to make evil appear good until their victim is completely destroyed.
