Judge Lambasts Jurymen For Stand in Sherman Mob Trial VOL. IV No.1 Husband Kills Wife With Ax; He Disappears Believe Wife's Failure To Give Mate Money Led to Slaying Without Work But Spouse Owned $400 55-Year-Old Man Hadn't Had Job in 2 Years; Sought Train Fare EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A search over this section of the country was under way Monday for Henry Williams, 55, wanted for the slaying of his wife, last Thrusday. A warrant charging murder was sworn out against the man during the morning, while detectives tried to place together the events leading up to the crime. Williams is charged with having killed his wife, Biddie Williams, 40, by striking her with an axe in the forehead and neck, as she leaned over a trunk in their home. The axe was left lying beside the body. The discovery of the slaying was made by a nephew, Chester Hart, Suncay morning. Williams had been an employee in the engine room at the Hotel McCurdy for 15 years, police said. He had been out of work during the past two years. Police said they thought the killing came as the aftermath of an argument over money. Williams had wanted to go to Pittsburgh according to police but could get no money with what to make the trip. Friends told police that Williams had told his wife repeatedly that he would kill her if she did not give him the money. Mrs. Williams had told her husband, friends said, that she had more than $400 on deposit in her own name in a local bank, but that she would give none of it to Williams. It was discovered by Detective James Thomas that she withdrew $70 from the bank last week, and it is thought that Williams made his escape on the money. An inquest held by Coroner Max Lowe during the morning resulted in a verdict of homicide.

Seek to Get Pardon For Fleming, Ex-Councilman COLUMBUS, Ohio. — (ANP) — Friends of Tom Fleming, former Cleveland alderman, who is serving a term in the Ohio penitentiary, are hopeful that one of Governor Cooper's acts before quitting the governor's office will be to issue a pardon for Fleming. It is said that the governor has had strong pressure brought to bear upon him and that he may pardon all of the political prisoners including the other Cleveland alderman convicted at about the same time Fleming was. Mrs. Felming took an active part in the campaign for re-election recently. DALLAS, Tex. — Sentiment against punishment of persons accused of burning the courthouse at Sherman, Tex., in a riot which resulted in the death of George Hughes, charged with attacking a white woman, balked prosecution of the fourteen defendants here Tuesday. Man after man called for prospective jury service, declared he would not vote to send the accused to penitentiary. Judge C. A. Pippen then transferred the cases to Austin, Tex., saying it was evident the state could not obtain a fair trial in Dallas to which the cases had been sent from Sherman. The attitude of the prospective jurors was scored by Judge Pippen. "If you won't enforce one law you can't criticise another man for not enforcing another law," he said. Three-fourths of the seventy-three veniremen, examined before the change of venue, said they would not vote to send a defendant to the penitentiary on the charge.

"Jim-Crowism On Increase" --Kelly Miller Howard University Dean Addresses Group At Interracial Meet WASHINGTON, D. C. — The American Interracial seminar in its one-day session at Howard university last Tuesday was informed by Professor Kelly Miller that racial discrimination is on the increase in spite of the optimistic hopes to the contrary. In response to Miss Nannie Burroughs' statement concerning the inactivity of the interracial committee at Washington, Mrs. John Harvey Young, member of the committee, stated that time was necessary for the accomplishment of the purposes for which the committee was organized. She said that during the past thirty years, nothing has helped Washington more, interracially, than the coming of President Mordecai W. Johnson to Howard university, who had provided an inspiration in interracial affairs and afforded a new respect for colored people. The dominant note of the dinner conference held at the Whitelaw hotel was the discussion of Prof. Abram L. Harris, head of the department of economics at Howard university, in response to the question, "Is it possible for the Negro to maintain a segregated economic existence in the United States?" Professor Harris tok the position that in the long run such an existence is utterly impossible. Members of the committee expressed appreciation for the frankness with which the interracial situation in Washington was presented to them, stating that it was their purpose to ascertain the facts, not with an idea of instituting reform, but as a matter of information and a basis upon which to base their own attitudes and actions in their respective fields. The seminar consisted of 35 members, lay and professional, interdenominational as well as interracial in character, and representing various sections of the country. Hubert C. Herring, of New York, is executive secretary. Read The American under the circumstances. The courthouse at Sherman was burned May 9 after hours of rioting by a white mob seeking to lynch the Negro. Hughes was locked in a vault in the courthouse for safe-keeping at the height of the outbreak. When the vault was opened after the fire, he was dead. The specific charge against the defendants is rioting to commit arson by explosion. Opens Flod Gates, He Says "Practically all of you have said under oath that although the state might prove that these men burned the courthouse in one of our great counties, you would not return a conviction," Judge Pippen told the veniremen. "When you do that, you give every other man the right to take the same position. "Let me tell you what this may lead to. Such action opens the flood gates to every individual. The majesty of the law fails and its dignity falls. You are going to set yourself up as bigger than the law." The Case Against McFarlane ROOSEVELT School Principal F. W. McFarlane has so impaired his usefulness to the citizens of Gary that he should resign or be ousted as soon as a competent man can be brought here to take his place. Some weeks ago this newspaper asked Mr. McFarlane through its columns to tell the Negro public exactly what he did say in his speeches before the white clubs of Gary. He has thus far refused to make any statement. McFarlane claims that the sentiment against him was aroused long before his much discussed speeches. He claims that his addresses were purely incidental and not the main cause of the fight. Well, if such be true, it shows a lack of intelligence and clear-thinking to put such a weapon in the hands of the enemy. Further, those who were merely amused by the Roosevelt school fracas of the past summer are today's leaders in the war against the man. It was stated this week by McFarlane in a meeting before the Elks lodge that his speech as made before the white clubs here was merely a replica of addresses delivered at various churches on the south side. Perhaps this is true. But on the other hand, who could tell but McFarlane, biased in his own behalf? The audiences were different; Negroes heard him on the south side and Caucasians down town. The only person to attend both kinds of meetings was McFarlane. The American is not in favor of school strikes or any such displays of yahooism. If McFarlane were ousted today, there would be no one here capable of filling his position. Stanley, a white man, would probably be made principal and he has not the educational attainments to fill such a position. It would mean a going backward instead of progress in the conduct of Roosevelt school. For that reason, this newspaper believes that the citizens of Gary should find a competent successor before bringing about McFarlane's release. It is regrettable that a man of McFarlane's scholastic ability and training should be found to possess such ideas as he has voiced. Few people deny that he is a capable teacher. It is only that his ideas are considered unsafe and unsound and fraught with danger for the entire Negro population, present and future, here in Gary. He has vast learning but little wisdom, having chosen to foster the wrong ideas. McFarlane has been further damaged by the efforts of many of his teachers and associates, themselves insignificant but highly offensive, who have antagonized passive Garyites. Their lick-spittle, hat-in-hand, McFarlane,-thou-art-a-god ways have done him immeasurable damage. The American believes that McFarlane has come to the end of the road in Gary. Even his supporters should see that the fights on him will impair his usefulness and handicap him in his every move; while those against his preachments object to the obvious meaning of his expressed ideas and their detrimental influence on the formative minds of their young. For that reason, he should give way himself or else be forced to give way to a competent educator who has the respect of most of the clear thinking Garyites. Potter Pleases in 3d Annual Concert Walter V. Potter, well known Gary tenor and teacher of music at East Pulaski school, rendered his third annual recital at the Hunton branch Y. M. C. A. Monday night before a small but appreciative audience. There were four sets of numbers given, all especially well fitted for the lyric voice which Mr. Potter has. His selections were all of the more popular of the classics and folksongs and included such favorites as "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," "Deep River," "Trees," and "Absent." Mrs. Esther Powell was his accompanist and her playing was unusually creditable and provided an excellent background for Mr. Potter's vocal ability. The Twilight Charity club sponsored the recital. Proceeds of the ticket sale were to be given to charity. Jazzin' The News (THE WEEK'S NEWS IN VERSE) By F.

GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1930 Explosion Is Cause Of Panic in Flats Explosion Is Cause Of Panic in Flats One Hurt As Escaping Gas Is Ignited CINCINNATI. — Explosion of gas fumes from the hose of a small heating stove injured one and threw a score of others into a panic and caused damage estimated at $500 here early Sunday morning. The blast hurled Robert Burrel, 30, on the third floor of the building, from his bed. He suffered a broken jaw, cuts and bruises, caused by bricks and plaster which fell on him. Bricks and stone slabs were blown into the street by the force of the blast. When firemen arrived, they were taxed to quiet panic-stricken tenants perched on second and third story windows crying for help. Ladders were raised and the tenants were carried to safety. South Africa Press Flays Government South Africa Press Flays Government Universal Service JOHANNESBURG. — The present socialist government is getting severe criticism from the local newspapers. Already its efforts at Free Trade within the Empire is likened to the historic "Boston Tea Party." The Nationalists extremists are openly rejoicing at the failure of the economic aspects of the Imperial Conference. They declare that there is now no obstacle to further foreign trade treaties similar to those already entered into with Germany. "The Sunday Times" declares that there is no longer any doubt that the policy of the present British government will have a disintegrating effect on the Empire which it "appears to be bent on wrecking." "The British government is the stoutest friend the South African republicans have found," the newspaper says. "Its policies in India, and, above all, its miserable failure to grasp the unique opportunity offered by the Dominions, brand it is unfit to control the destinies of a great nation. The spectacle of the Dominion premiers slinking home before their time is one of the most astonishing and humiliating manifestations in the history of the Empire." NEW YORK — (ANP) — Because "after all, he was her husband," Mrs. Miriam Neblett of 246 Bradhurst avenue, refused to prosecute charges against Donald Neblett who had been locked up after striking her over the head. Judge Claims Marion Lynch Cases Trivial Sets Trials of 4 Aside For More 'Important' Criminal Cases MARION, IND. — Circuit Court Judge O. D. Clawson Wednesday told four alleged leaders of the mob which lynchmed Todd Shipp and Abe Smith August 7 that he considered certain criminal cases he had on docket more "important" than their trials. The four men, Robert Beshire, 45; Phillip Boyd, 17; Everett Clark, 22, and Chester Pease, 32, were released on bonds of $2,000 each without having dates for their trials set. Ogden There Attorney General James M. Ogden was in court in person. It was he who filed charges several weeks ago against seven men and Sheriff Jake Campbell. The other three charged with leadership have not as yet been apprehended. Prosecutor Harley Hardin of Grant county was not in court. He was reported attending an Oddfellows convention at Indianapolis. Sheriff Campbell was also out of town, being reported in Akron, O., where he had gone to take a prisoner. Immediately after the pleas were made by the defendants, their attorneys filed motions for separate trials. Motion to Quash Attorneys for Sheriff Campbell who was charged with neglect of duty in confection with the lynching, recently filed a motion to quash the affidavit which Attorney General Ogden filed against him. This motion acted as a stay on the sheriff's arraignment. He has not been arraigned and is at liberty on his own recognizance. Sheriff Campbell is republican county chairman of Grant county and a member of Gov. Harry G. Leslie's crime commission. Judge Clawson explained that he was not ready to set the trial dates for the defendants because he had set aside the first two weeks of his trial docket for cvill cases. He said that there were several criminal cases pending which he considered more important than those of the alleged rioters. Attorney General Ogden and Judge Clawson shook hands warmly when the Attorney General appeared in court. There was no sign of any strained feeling between the two, although press dispatches last week quoted Judge Clawson as bitterly criticising Ogden. It was learned Wednesday that Judge Clawson wrote to Ogden denying the press reports. Politician's Home Is Jarred by Bomb Politician's Home Is Jarred by Bomb LOS ANGELES. — (ANP) With a concussion that shook the whole east-side of the city and shattered glass in surrounding houses, a bomb was set late last Thursday night at the home of George Brown, local politician. That his family of six escaped with their lives is due only to the fact that the bomb was placed at the corner of the house instead of under it. A son of Brown suffered an injured back, but the rest of his sleeping children and his wife were unscathed. Brown blames the deed on gambling racketeers from the Spring Street ring down town. He also told the police that it was done in an attempt to silence him lest he should testify against them in a coming trial of alleged framing of Police Commissioner Thomas Walkup. In this conspiracy several white and colored politicians were suspected of attempting to frame the commissioner into a private party with a beautiful blond. Mr. Brown is widely known as a politician and formerly wielded great power among a large group of colored voters. Saws Tree Limb; Hurt As He Keeps His Seat MACON, Ga. — Andrew Beecher was sawing a limb from a tree but forgot to change his seat. He died last week in the hospital from internal injuries and concussion of the brain. Beecher had taken a seat on the end of the limb, while sawing it from the tree. He did not move before sawing it to the breaking point. The limb broke and Beecher sustained serious injuries when he hit the ground.

(ANP) Because a few women members of local organizations of racial uplift have been making a quiet investigation into tales of recent scandals among the race stage and screen colony, startling revelations impend. One of the women has stated that in the future they will go after any actress whose disgraceful actions have become the subject of street comment and attempt to show her how she is injuring the reputation of her race. Especially they express regret that they did not attempt to reason with Nina Mae McKinney, who alone is said to be blamed for loss of her contract with M. G.

Strike Fa rs Split Views Fails As lit; Wirt s On Case Tenacity Causes Arrest With Seven More In Burglary Cases INDIANAPOLIS. — Augustine Lewis has been trying to prove to Beulah Mae Bradley, the girl of his heart, during the past few months, that he loved her. Displaying his ardent affections he showered her with dresses, shoes, jewelry and other trinkets. But Beulah Mae's affections for Augustine cooled and she told him not to make his appearance at the house any more. Lewis decided that he should have his presents returned. In his determination to get them he failed to use discretion. He carried his gun with him, and at the point of the revolver he demanded his presents. His lady love called the police, thinking of the protection of her life and her valuable presents. Police Find Stolen Goods Police arrived in due time to protect the wailing Beulah Mae. Augustine had vanished, but the police curiously searched the house for him. Instead, they found bed linen stolen from the Pullman company, and many other miscellaneous articles nobody would claim. They arrested Beulah Mae and six men, including one Pullman porter. On their way to the police station they arrested Lewis. "That's what you get for calling the police," Augustine wailed to Beulah Mac, while they were taking a ride at the expense of the city.

Jilted Lover Tries To Get His Presents MUST KEEP POLICY SLIPS OUT OF POCKETS Price 5 Cents Defense Council Says Hawkins and Turner Broke Up Strike Wirt Is Willing to See Concrete Body Thinks Present Leaders In McFarlane Fight Have Ax to Grind The Roosevelt school strike called Tuesday for the purpose of causing action to be taken against Principal F. W. McFarlane failed to be of any consequence when two of the leaders withdrew their support and left the burden of the battle on the Citizens Defense Council. William A. Wirt, superintendent of schools here, declared Thursday that the board of education would be prepared to listen to any organized, concrete body composed of representative Garyites instead of a small faction. Pastors Call Off Strike Sunday morning the Rev. Charles Hawkins, pastor of the First Baptist church, told his congregation the strike had been called off pending the return of a member of the school board. The same message was also given to the members of Israel C. M .E. church by the Rev. A. C. Bailey, pastor there. The calling off of the strike did not meet with the approval of the Citizens Defense Council. They objected and told the parents to keep their children out as it was at first planned. As a result, it is estimated that between 150 and 160 children were absent Tuesday. On Wednesday those out totaled no more than 50. Minister Suggests Strike According to William Jackson, official of the Defense council, Rev. Hawkins himself suggested the strike. As both were fighting for the same result, the ousting of McFarlane, Mr. Jackson stated the council decided to combine forces with him and Rev. Bailey. When the ministerial support was withdrawn, the council blamed Revs. Hawkins and Bailey, Dr. Dudley Turner, and W. W. Cooke for the failure to make the strike a success. Since that time they have absolved both Rev. Bailey and Mr. Cooke from any blame in the matter. Two Visit Wirt Rev. Hawkins and Dr. Turner visited Supt. Wirt's office prior to the strike, Mr. Jackson says, and the school official admits. They are said to have told him they could call off the strike if they could get what they wanted. Mr. Wirt, however, told them he could make no move without the authority of the board of education. The petition sent by the Defense council several weeks ago to local school authorities is as yet unanswered. If no action is taken they plan to send another within the next few days. Wirt States Position Mr. Wirt, when interviewed, had the following to say: "As far as the educational standard of Roosevelt school is concerned, I have no fault to find. I consider Mr. McFarlane a capable enough executive. "But I do believe that Mr. McFarlane got out of his sphere when he made the addresses he is reported to have made at several local clubs. "He was called into this office and it was stated that his addresses in the field of sociology did not meet with our approval.

I.—(ANP)—The "White Band Incorpolated of America", as Amos and Andy would put it, is seeking members in this section. The organization, like the now depleted and waning Kluxers was set up by William Joseph Simmons, who after his first child was wied away from him by Evans, felt that another all-white organization was necessary to save the flag of this country from being trampled upon and the ideals over-thrown and incidentally, maybe, to refill his coffers. Again like the Kluxers, the home of the "White Band Incorporated of America," is located in Atlanta, Georgia, where the "Black Shirts" are attempting to hold forth and also uphold the ideals of the country and protect white supremacy. Recently a nation-wide campaign for members was launched and the President, Colonel Simmons, William Joseph, not Roscoe Cooking, remembering that Long Island was a hot bed of Kluxism, has appealed to the members of the Klan to forsake their first love and join hands with his noble band. The decision of the local members will be reached at a meeting which will be held here Monday night at the Oud Fellows hall. The Odd Fellows hall was perhaps selected when efforts to obtain the Knights of Columbus hall failed. KINGSTREE, S.

The report shows that the number of patients admitted was greater than that of any previous year. Four thousand, three hundred forty-one were received, of which number 1,112 were pay patients, 1,416 were indigent residents of the states, and 1,485 were indigent residents of the District of Columbia. Eighteen hundred thirty-one surgical operations were performed, and 1,095 received dental treatment. Fourteen thousand, eight hundred twenty-six were treated in the various clinics of the Dispensary. The completion of aditions the Nurses' Home, Power Plant, Employees' Quarters and Dining Room, supplies needs of long standing and places the hospital in a position to render better service to the public. The Surgeon in Chief states that the most urgent need of the hospital is a clinical building properly to house the activities of the Dispensary Service . The clinics are now conducted in small rooms, every particular for this work. An increase in the personnel, the report states, is also very urgent, and should include an educational assistant, assistant social worker, clerk, telephon operator and a full time painter.

Pastor States Wife Gave Him Poisoned Food Granted Divorce From Mate Who Left Him 17 Years Before BALTIMORE. — Testifying that his wife, Mrs. Alice Higginson, put poison into his food, resulting in his being ill for two weeks, the Reverend Randolph Higginson was granted an absolute divorce in the circuit court Monday. Appearing before a special examiner on September 29, and questioned by his attorney, J. Howard Payne, the minister stated that he was married in New York City on December 1, 1911. During their marital life the wife at times remained away from home until early hours of the morning adn failed to prepare his meals. Returning home on November 17, 1913, his wife prepared a beef stew which was his favorite dish. After eating a large amount of the stew he became ill with internal hemorrhage. Mrs. Higginson returned home about mid-night, and after he had explained his condition she told him to wait until morning, insisting that it was only a cold. The following day he went to a doctor who, after examining him, told him that he had been poisoned and wanted to secure a warrant for the wife's arrest but was prevented from doing so by Higginson. The minister then went of the home of his sister where he remained under a physician's care for two weeks.

(The $24 was to be used for the purchase of a uniform.) Swift was taken to an office building downtown; supposedly the office of the employment agent. There he was told to wait, and the agent would bring him his uniform. Swift is still waiting; although, two hours later, he reported the transaction to the police, and they are looking for the talkative employment-agent-stranger.

November 22, 1930 Wilbur States Race Has Made Much Progress Praises Neuro in Radio Speech Made During Education Week WASHINGTON.—(ANP)—A new voice was added to the song of praise about the “wonderful pro- gress” which the Negro has made since emancipation when, during a nationwide broadcast Wednesday evening, Secretary of the Interior Wilbur described the advancement of hte American Negro as “pheno- menal.” The period over the radio was a part of the national observance of Education week. Speeches con- cerning Negro education were made by Secretary Wilbur, Am- brose Caliver, federal specialist in Negro education, and John W. Davis, president of West Virginia State college. Move to Cities “While in 1860," Secretary Wilbur explained, “most Negroes were liv- ing in a civilization primarily agri- cultural, and for the most part 1 on land owned by others, we now have tens of thousands of homes and farms owned by Nexroes. About one-third of then ‘are living in our cities instead of in the rural districts. “The Negro is now making good in all walks of life, some have at- tained distinction in‘ law, medicine, dentistry and education. Others show good capacity in administra- tion. The leaders in these fields have not only great oportuntities but great responsibilities, for it is important that others should fol- low them. Mr. Caliver, a former dean at Fisk university, emphasized the need for vocational training among Negroes, warning that the Negro “must hasten his pace, and that in double quick time, if he is to go over the top with the rest of Amer- ica’s soldiers of progress.” Education Increase President Davis made the point that the Negro had just about ob- tained enough education to realize how much he needed. He added that the high school enrollment among Negroes in southern state is less than 10 per 1,000 while in the United States among the yen- eral population, the number of high school students per 1,000 is 39. It is expected that his broadcast on the Negro’s educational star and needs will create new intoresi in the problems of such efucation that will result in coperation with the federal governments’ plans for the promotion of — education throughout the nation.

He gave close at- tentioa to R. C, Miller, Atlanta Ne- gro Communist organizer operat- ing from Charlotte, N. C. | Calls Conditions Miserable - “Our condition,” said Miller, “is miserable and the Negro will put religion aside nad join anything to better himself.” | He said the Communists claimed the support of 100,00 Negroes at the time he left the party because he did not desire to swear allegiance to soviet Russia as against the United States in event of war. Social equality and a determination to “banish Christ from the skies and ‘capitalism from the earth” were ‘Communist slogans, he said. Jolin Hudson, assistant county solicitor general, gave the com- mitee details of capital charges pending here against Joe Carr, formerly of Wheeling, W. Va., and M. H. Powers, formerly of Duluth, Minn. Asked for Old Statute Hudson was requested to furnish a copy of an 1869 Georgia statute under which the two reputed Com- munists are being prosecuted for “attempting to incite to insurrection against the state.” Represntative Bachman of West Virginia and Representative Hall of Mississippi were designated as a subcommittee for a Monday hear- ing at New Orleans, La, and pos- sibly a Memphis (Tenn.) hearing Tuesday .

W. Smithers, a conservative M. P., asked the Home Secretary J. R. ‘Clynes if he had taken action against the Standard for blas- phemous libel. Clynes _ replied “The play is one about which con- fieting views may be held but I would deprecate proceedings in cases where there is no apparent in- tention to give offense to anyone's religious convictions.” 4 Commander J. M. Kenworthy and another Laborite cefended the play, but Sir Grattan Doyle, one of the leaders of the “die-hard” Tories asked: “Isn't publication of the play a disgrace to decent journalism’? At this point Lady Astor shout- ed out: “Not at all!” and the sub- ject: was dropped.

Almost anywhere you ean pick up one of those shelf brackets of iron that have their prongs grace- fully curved and by screwing to its top, or arm as it is called, one of these round brass pin trays measuting about six inches across, transtorm it into a flower holder of virtue Screw the bracket to the side of the window or wherever the light is right for the piant and the result is reasonably certain to be pleasing. Instead of the shal- low brass tray a tin basin may be substituted and the plant allowed to grow in it. The basin may be lacquered and varnished and, of course, it will have to be redone once or twice a season if it rusts, as it may. The bracket itself may be brushed over with brown paint and while still wet a little gold rubbed in, which treatment is al- most invariably effective.

C” For N.AA.CP. Noted Columnist to Lead The Annual Theatrical Show Next Month NEW YORK — A brilliant thea- trical benefit for the National As- socaition for the Advancement of Colored People is being arranged for the night of Sunday, December 7, in the Waldorf theatre, 116 West DOth street, with the nationally known Heywod Broun as master ‘of ceremonies, a position he filled brilliantly at last year’s affair. Leading stars of the stage, vaude- ville and musical worlds are has- tening to offer their services. When Mr. Broun was asked by Walter White, acting secretary, to introduce the stars at the benefit, he said he would have felt hurt had he not been asked, and said he wished himself to be considered “perpetual master of ceremonies” for N.

Walker, prominent real estate operator of Harlem also put in an aplication for four front-row orchestra sents. The probability now is that the house which seats 1078, will be en- tirely sold out before the night of the benefit, Prices have been set low enough so that all who wsih to go and apply in tine, may at- tend, the orchestra being priced at |$5 for front row seats, $5 for box seats, $4 for rear orchestra and [front mezzanine, $3 for rear mez- lzanine, and front baicony and the the remainder of the balrony at §2 and $1, The Waldorf theatre is so constructed that all seats offer an excelien: view of the stage.

P. that the celebrated |Bill Robinson will execute his tap ldances, and the well known sing- ers, Adelaide Hall and Ada Brown, Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordo: will sing spirituals and Esther Junger, the dancer who s« successfully interpreted James Weldon Johnson's “Go Down | Death” and who is giving her own recital on November 23 with Rich- ard Harrison reading, at the Guild theatre has consented to dance to a reacing at the benefit. | An extensive list of celebrities is being arranged for the program which is being responded to with enthusiasm on Broadway.

McAneeny, president, today gave out the prices at which the new Hudson and Essex models will be sold. They are the lowest prices in the 22 year successful history of the manufacturer. The base list price of hte Hudson, which will be known as the Greater Hudson Eight, will be $875. ‘The Essex Super Six will be sold as low as $595. Thus, Mr. McAnceny points out that his company is of- fering its new product at a saving of $175 on the Hudson and $170 on the Essex, as compared to the prices when new models were in troduced one year ago and takes full recognition of the obligation to give the public every advantar: in value and, at the same time, pro- vide empolyment for 2 large num: ber of workers. Hudson-Essex shatter precedent [in anouncing prices in advance of the public showing of the new mod- els which is scheduled for the lat: ter part of the month. This wa: done, according to President Me- Aneeny, in order to give distribu- tors and dealers the fullest possible cooperation in preparing for an ag- gressive sales and merchandising campaign strongly supported by ad- vertising, as soon as they receive the company’s 1931 offering. “We have built thes models up to and beyond the 1931 standard of performance and quality in every way, and have never offered sd many improvements in our history, said Mr. MeAneeny. “The quality is greater down to the last detail, every phase of performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever before. Only great manufacturing economics and the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have enabled us to offer the public th: [greatest combination of quality at |low pricse in our entire history, lsaid Hudson's chief.

Ethiopian Air Tales Untrue, Julian States Says He and Emperor ‘Best of Friends’; Claims Plots NEW YORK. — Col. Hubert Ju- lian, head cf the Abyssinian Em- peror’s air foree until a few days before coronation when he tumbled at the feet of Ras Tafari in the po- tentate's favorite airplane, arrived here Tuesday on board the He de France and gave an entirely new version of the affair which die patches stated caused his banish- ment, | “Tho emperor and T were the best of pals when T left him,” averred ‘the colonel, “and you can prove ‘the logicability of that by wiring him at my expense.” whe eagle of the air, as Col. Ju- lian is called in Harlem flying cir- icles, was quite willing to discuss his relations with the Abyssinian jing or kings and explained the | plane ciackup and his subsequent hasty departure from his adopted jland as due to a British ship and |2 French plot in an empire of in- trigue. “{t is true that I resigned from the Abysinian air corps,” said Col. | Julian, “but I did so for the sake of my own safety and health. | “Lam not afraid to die, but I | want to die with my boots on.’ I had to force my resignation and they regretted it so.

Mr. Branch, Broadway Hotel, Gary, Indiana, ae Sporting Page Speakin' 'Bout Sports Speakin' 'Bout Sports Lincoln and Howard stage their annual duel next Thursday. Yet it is nothing at all, nothing at all ot get excited about. Actually, it's just another game. In two years now Howard has won only two games. She trounced little Livingstone a few weeks ago and then Saturday before last beat North Carolina State, which would indicate that State and Livingstone must be pretty bum. Howard, both in size and prestige, stands head and shoulders above any Negro college in America. It draws its students from everywhere. In years past, it held an enviable position in grid circles. But that, be it repeated, was in years past. Verdell, who played end on a poor Northwestern team, has the job of head coach at Howard. This column is not attempting to say whether or not the coach is responsible for the present condition of Howard football. But it is well known that no such sustained poor showing was made prior to his going to Howard. It is claimed that Howard has quit getting students there to play football mainly and study incidentally. Be that as it will or may, there are only eight on her squad of 38 who are under 20 years of age, and there are five gridsters who admit having attained the grand age of 25. Lincoln should win the game, but the fray has no more real importance in the world of sport than a heavyweight fight between two beefy bums for the championship of Nevada, or the Princeton-Chicago game. Lincoln, you understand, has also developed the habit of losing games. But as yet she hasn't become quite so proficient at the art as has Howard. By the way, when speaking of high school football, some mention should be made of Crispus Attucks down at Indianapolis. She has won every game this year and, what is more, is yet to be scored upon. Perhaps her greatest achievement was in thrashing the strong Louisville boys who hadn't lost in a couple of seasons. Attucks has hung up a record this season that anybody can look at with a great deal of pride. Football locally has not met with any astounding success. Coach Cooke's boys out at Roosevelt have played some good games but it seems as if they either play in misfortune or lack the necessary punch at the crucial mement. They lost to this Attucks aggregation by way of a fumble and an intercepted pass, which eventually gave the capital lads a 12 to 0 victory. Over at East Pulaski Coach Lane has had to build from the ground up and has also been handicapped by not having enough games scheduled this year to give his boys action and experience. Your correspondent said last week that if Fordham met up with any of the leading teams outside of her little Eastern sphere, it would mean another reputation blasted. The column had Alabama, Southern California, Notre Dame and Northwestern particularly in mind. We forgot all about St. Marys. But by now everybody knows what happened. We believe that today Northwestern will be but another sacrifice to Notre Dame superiority. The Wildcats have shown that against a fast line they can't do much until that line slows down. Her beef in the forward wall, for that reason, shouldn't get much of a chance to stop the Irish backfield from going places because Notre Dame is generally in the secondary defense before the average team realizes she has shifted. If we're wrong, don't tell us. We'll find out. P. G. Hammer, 66 years old, retired St. Louis, (Mo.) manufacturer, plans to rent a secluded villa in Europe where he will walk on his hands and feet, use a log for a bed and eat raw vegetables in an effort to proove thereby that old age can be banished.

Coach Cooke's boys will be out to take a game from the Chicagoans who have played indifferent football all year but who want another win at the expense of Gary before the 1930 season is over. Roosevelt plans to start the same lineup which has been seen in action this year. This includes La Mar and Courtney, ends; Ward and Fields, tackles; Wells and Ellis, guards; Mackay, center; O. Courtney and Cooke, halfback; Galloway, fullback, and Bennett, quarter. Organizations asked to aid in putting the game over are the Elks, Masons, Avondales, Firemen of Engine House No. 4, Knights of Pythias, De Luxe club, Household of Ruth, American Legion, Eastern Star, U. N. I. A., City Federation of Women's clubs, and Froebel night school.

CIGARETTES CAMEL TURKISH & DOMESTIC BARBED CIGARETTES --- THE GARY AMERICAN. GARY. INDIANA Knoxville Points for Final Games of Season KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville college gridders are preparing for the closing games of their schedule, looking forward particularly to the Thanksgiving Day game with A. and N. university at Langston, Oklahoma. Coach Hawkins' Bulldogs are making a reputation for themselves this year with a strong line and four triple-three men in the backfield. Passes thrown with great force and accuracy by Cecil Gross have been responsible for many long gains made by the Knoxville team against heavier and highly-rated teams. The four horsemen of the backfield consist of Cecil Gross, "Smitty" Smith, Bob Lassiter, and Bert Hubbard, the last named being a brother of the famous DeHart Hubbard of Cincinnati. With their passing, kicking and line plunging the Knoxville team is building an offense machine which will be hard to stop in the remaining games of the season. Coaches Hawkins and Matthews have a few surprises ready for teams which are on the schedule for the remainder of the season and Knoxville should finish the year above the 500 per cent mark.

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

The spectacular air-thriller was produced and personally directed by Howard Hughes, at a cost of $4,000,00 and took three years to make. "Hell's Angels" is the supreme sensation of the film industry, breaking house records wherever shown. Producer-Director Howard Hughes, himself an expert licensed pilot, has established a record for all time in motion extravagance in the filming of his air classic. On the air scenes alone he has expended nearly $2,000,000, and the total distances covered in the sky battles was exactly 227,000 miles. A total of 137 pilots, and as many mechanics, were employed during the eighteen months filming of action above the clouds. The pilots included every stunt flyer and exwar ace in America.

Name PAGE SEVEN Howard Prexy Makes Report Of '29 Budget Marked Progress Made In Colleges of Law And Dental Hygiene WASHINGTON, D. C. —The annual report of the president of Howard university to the Secretary of the Interior is ready for release. The report will show that the total enrollment of the university for the year 1929-1930 was 2,619 students, from thirty-eight states (including the District of Columbia) and eighteen foreign countries. At the June commencement 325 men and women received degrees in nine schools and colleges. The president reports notable progress in the direction of improving instruction as a result of the increased Government appropriation of $65,000 for added personnel; the registration of the college of dentistry by the state of New York; the success of the first year's experience with a full-time three-year day school of law; the establishment of a division of student health; important additions to the libraries of medicine, dentistry, law and the natural and social sciences; the successful inauguration of a program of graduate fellowships for teachers; and the beginning of a professional course for the preparation of teachers in physical education. Three notable new appropriations to the university from private philanthropy are reported, including the award of $250,000 from the Hubert estate and the appropriation of $21,970 from the general education board and the availability of an additional sum of $70,657 from the Julius Rosenwadi fund. These, with other smaller gifts, represents appropriations of approximately $535,000 from private sources for the year 1929-30. Of the total budget of $915,714.02 the federal government appropriated $334,251.25 and made gifts of $44,802.63 in materials and supplies. Buildings, grounds and equipment of the university are valued at $3,246,680.29. Tom Heflin Lined Up With De Priest Political Enemies Get Senator 'Riled' MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Perhaps one of the bitterest pills that Big Tom Heflin, fiery Senator of this jurisdiction for many years, has had to swallow in all the years of his political and Klan activities was that forced down his hefty throat by the propaganda circulated, recently, by followers of John H. Bankhead, his opponent for election to the United States Senate. Printed circulars were distributed all over the principal streets of the larger cities during the last few days of the campaign just passed, which carried the following dogerel: "Hoover blew his whistle, And business went to hell." In that verse the loud-speaking Ku Klux Klansman is named as an accessory, along with a Negro and a white Republican, in the failure of business and the present slump. Only a Catholic was needed to make the surrounding of Heflin consistently disagreeable. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE In the Lake Superior Court, Gary, November term, 1980.
