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 Negro in Radio Speech Made During Education Week WASHINGTON.—(ANP)—A new voice was added to the song of praise about the "wonderful progress" 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 "phenomenal." The period over the radio was a part of the national observance of Education week. Speeches concerning Negro education were made by Secretary Wilbur, Ambrose 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 living in a civilization primarily agricultural, and for the most part on land owned by others, we now have tens of thousands of homes and farms owned by Negroes. About one-third of them are living in our cities instead of in the rural districts. "The Negro is now making good in all walks of life, some have attained distinction in law, medicine, dentistry and education. Others show good capacity in administration. The leaders in these fields have not only great opportunities but great responsibilities, for it is important that others should follow 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 America's soldiers of progress." Education Increase President Davis made the point that the Negro had just about obtained enough education to realize how much he needed. He added that the high school enrollment among Negroes in southern states is less than 10 per 1,000 while in the United States among the general population, the number of high school students per 1,000 is 39. It is expected that his broadcast on the Negro's educational status and needs will create new interest in the problems of such education that will result in cooperation with the federal governments' plans for the promotion of education throughout the nation.

Dawson MACON, Miss. - Twenty two people and the casket containing the body of Brown Hughes, farmer, around which they were sitting, were picked up by a tornado near Mashulaville, 11 miles southwest of Macon, Saturday, at 1:30 o'clock, transported 10 yards and dumped together in a, field amid debris of the house, but none was seriously injured. Hughes' body, according to reports to Dr. E. M. Murphy of Macon, who went to the scene with Dr. T. C. Alford of Mashulaville, was divested of most of its clothing by the wind, which also smashed the casket. Robin Hughes of Memphis, brother of the deceased Hughes, who was among those scratched by the flying debris, was treated by Dr. Murphy and said he was en route back to Memphis without waiting further for the burial rites. The cabin in which the people were gathered was next to a Negro church and both buildings were completely destroyed. Headed northeast, the tornado did a hop-skip-jump directly over the city of Macon, to descend again five miles away, where it destroyed another Negro church and several cabins. Wire communications with Mashulaville was completely off today; many trees were blown down and property damage is severe. As an experiment, the Cooperstown (N. Y.)

Mr. Fish said he was somewhat surprised but not alarmed at the Negro situation. He gave close attention to R. C. Miller, Atlanta Negro Communist organizer operating 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. John Hudson, assistant county solicitor general, gave the committee 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 Communists are being prosecuted for "attempting to incite to insurrection against the state." Representative Bachman of West Virginia and Representative Hall of Mississippi were designated as a subcommittee for a Monday hearing at New Orleans, La., and possibly a Memphis (Tenn.) hearing Tuesday. Chairman Fish said he would return to Washington to study a proposed committee trip to Mexico.

INDIANA 'Green Pastures' Is Hit in Parliament LONDON, Nov. 14. — The American play "Green Pastures," which was barred by the censor of plays from production in Great Britain but which was recently published here in the Evening Standard, was attacked on the ground of its alleged blasphemy at question time in the House of Commons Friday. W. Smithers, a conservative M. P., asked the Home Secretary J. R. Clynes if he had taken action against the Standard for blasphemous libel. Clynes replied: "The play is one about which conflicting views may be held but I would deprecate proceedings in cases where there is no apparent intention to give offense to anyone's religious convictions." Commander J. M. Kenworthy and another Laborite defended 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 shouted out: "Not at all!" and the subject was dropped. SAYS LILY WHITE REPUBLICAN ACCEPTED PAY FOR FEDERAL JOB ATLANTA. —(ANP)— John B.

Losses Call Halt to Pierson Trial No Decision on Move To Quash Charges Against Pastor SCOTTSBURG, Ind.—(ANP)—No decision was rendered here Friday after a hearing before Judge John Carney by atorneys for the Rev. B. J. F. Westbrooks, who moved to have an indictment against him charging conspiracy to murder, quashed. Westbrook, Sr., secretary of the publishing board of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., for conspiring to bring about the murder of Edward D. Pierson, Sr., auditor and efficiency expert of the convention, which occurred on the morning of April 16 of this year. Westbrook's conection with the crime was traced to an endorsement of a check from Townsend to Washington, alleged to have been the actual killer. Judge Carney listened to the testimony in behalf of Westbrook, but declined to strike out the indictment at that time. Cause for his action and for the delay of the trial of Washington which was to have begun November 13, is believed to reside in the defeat of Judge Carney, a republican, for re-election, November 4. A new judge will now assume charge of the circuit nad the probability is that the case will be carried over to the January term of court. Win a prize. See page one.

INDIANA From Betty Clift's Readers With Ten Coupons Cut From This Newspaper And Mailed To Us. "Dear Betty Clift: "I am 35 years of age, and a veteran of the World War. Previous to that I was engaged, but thought it unfair to marry until I returned. It was my misfortune to be gassed and shell-shocked. I bent every effort, with the result now I am as healthy as ever, except for a slight twitch of the face muscles. "I have advanced in business to such an extent that I could keep a wife comfortably. But now I fine that the young lady is not so keen and when we are in company of friends she laughingly ridicules my facial expressions. I am sensitive and hurt. Could you advise me what course to take to retain the affection of this girl? I imagine that were I to discuss this subject with her it would be the means of breaking between us entirely. --- The girl has been faithful to wait for you all this time. But she has grown weary,L guess. Her love was true—but not true enough. I somehow feel that she is not worthy of you. You have made a brave fight, and have won under ritemendous odds. She should love you if for only that. What kind of a helpmate is she who will not weather all storms with you, and stick close by your side until the end? And that is far off, for you are young. But you may not quite understand her. Go straight to the point, and ask her to marry you, at once. If she refuses, seek the company of other girls, and find what solace you can in new friends. COUPON the first, I've known that he loves me; but I told him several times that we must be just friends. He acts so miserable when I laugh at him, that it makes me feel terribly mean. He is the nicest fellow I know, but I'll never love him. When I do meet some one I care for, it is going to hurt him. He shows his love so plainly that even my father teases me about it. Shall I give him up? It will be hard to manage, as he is a dreadful sticking plaster. When he takes me to parties, he's right under my feet all the time. Please help me to decide. "Another Betty." Beware, Miss Betty, of yourself! You like him better than anyone else, and he is a mighty nice fellow. Instead of giving you any advice. I should like to whisper to him. "Stick at it, boy. You'll get her." Have you a problem you cannot take to your family or your friends? Write to Betty Clift, 1819 Washington street. If you wish a personal answer, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. All communications strictly confidential if so desired. IT's time to get down to business—time for executives to get back to their desks—time for salesmen to get back into harness—time for all of us to pay more attention to our own business. Now, more than ever, we should tell people what we have to sell. The country isn't going to the dogs. Business is fundamentally sound. People are still going to buy. But they need to be sold harder now than ever. Gary American advertising will help you do that.

Wall brackets and hanging baskets are among the indoor decorations that are returning to fashion and there are a number of ways of fashioning these at home, although there are beautiful ones in the shops that are not too expensive. Almost anywhere you can pick up one of those shelf brackets of iron that have their prongs gracefully curved and by screwing to its top, or arm as it is called, one of those round brass pin trays measuring about six inches across, transform it into a flower holder of virtue. Screw the bracket to the side of the window or wherever the light is right for the plant and the result is reasonably certain to be pleasing. Instead of the shallow 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 almost invariably effective. Then a most satisfactory ivy holder may be evolved from one VIENNA BREAD The Best Loaf of Bread Money Can Buy HOT From 7 P. M. until 12 P.

If the globe happens to be one of the tinted ones, so much the better. Copper wire may be used for hanging the globe, and this carried out in any one of several ways. The wire may be wound around the globe in a sort of basket work, merely twisted around the neck or two strands crossed at the bottom of the globe, tied there to hold the two strands, and perhaps a pendant of some sort attached. In any case, as the globe is rather wide open it may be necessary to cross the opening at the sides with a lattice work of the wire.

When Reginald Du Pont Funk- user left the lady with the navy moustache, he rode only a tle way on his horse before he me to a wide road. His mount fed its best to travel on both sides once because, as was said be- re, the animal used to belong to politician. Well --- that was then. this man I know prattles of virgin lips like a flower and a flame raves of fathomless eyes holding the mysteries of aeons in their smouldering brown depths whispers of caresses soft as the fall of night thanks God he is a foolish man. "Stop that," said Reggie, hitting the horse five times. But the horse stopped on four it was a firm believer in even umbers and besides knew a barin when it saw one. "Where in Halifax am I?" our two asked of nobody in particular. In Halifax," nobody in particular did him. So Reggie dismounted and took a and to one side of the road.

But Reggie slipped on a banana el and came in fifth. Next to waiting for a chance to take the family car out, what has probably done the most to keep the average family together is Amos 'n Andy. "The devil!" the six lawyers and ner of the stand said in unison. Whereupon a prohibition agent appeared upon the scene. "Did you ll for me?" he asked. Add similies: As full of explana tions as a defeated republican can dldate. Before they could answer, a shot was heard in the distance. It unded like a cork being pulled at of a champagne bottle.

That's New York! be to proud to ask for public aid or to reveal their plight of their former friends. Heaven knows what will become of them. With Winter's cruel nip already the air and hundreds of thousands wondering where tomorrow's god, fuel, clothing and rent are coming from, New York never was more job-conscious. The unemployen situation has strangely transformed the metropolis. Gayety, usually the dominant mark of the city's mood, is muffled to an unertone. Not since wartime has the town been so tensely serious, he feels the hush of an ominous spectancy. Suffering, starvation and want are hurking just around the corner. Like war, this crisis bounds its challenge, and the spirit of the city today is almost aash-back to the spirit of 1918. city has become again an impelling word, a spur to mass action, nose fortunate enough to have abs are joining with the wealthy put shoulders to the wheel of economic remedy and relief. Human need is the enemy now, and vast emergency organization is arshaling the machinery to it it to rout. There have been some strange quirks to the results of the slump. Occupations related to luxuries, of course, were the first to suffer. And high on that list you may place the ladies who market their beauty. The most hapless stock on Wall Street, I am told, did not drop so low as the market for butter and egg men. So many keptives have been forced back into circulation, so to speak, that jobs in the chorus are rated at a terrifically high premium. Hundreds of superflous candidates have found their way into the clothing-model game, so that almost any group of man-equius nowadays locks like a Ziegfeld ensemble. As another economic by-product, apple eating has become a popular pastime. A practical-minded commission merchant conceived the idea of hiring jobless men to sell apples on the street corners, and now the town is overrun with them. Must be hard on the doctors. The normally ample crop of curb-side pushcart merchants and sidewalk hawkers of every conceivable kind of gewgaw also has been multiplied tremendously. As a mater of fact, simply because the situation is so obviously rious, there probably will be less dire want in New York this winter than during ordinary years of the past. For the dark clouds of economic crisis have revealed some decidedly silvery linings. Man as rediscovered his obligation to his neighbor, long forgotten in the utter selfishness of boom times' eyday. The salaried worker who formerly grumbled at the necessity or labor now congratulates himself for having a job, and the pay envelope that once looked so slim now seems a bag of gold. All in all, it isn't such a bad world when work has become one of the major virtues and it is downright luxurious simply to have a job! * * * Some of the outstanding books, new and not so new, that New York is reading and talking about: Somerset Maugham's "Cakes and Ale"; "Certain People," by Edith Wharton; Dorothy Parker's "Laments for the Living"; "Twenty-four Hours," by Louis Bromfield; Ernest Hemingway's new book of short stories; Zona Gale's "Bridal Pond"; John Erskine's "Cinderella's Daughter"; "The Godlike Daniel," Samuel Hopkins Adams's biography of Daniel Webster, and "Northcliffe," by Hamilton Fyfe. Many a high hat has been knocked into limbo along with dreams, easy fortunes, and not a few former occupants of Park avenue sites are spending the happiest days of their lives in the hard-carnal penury of cheap little walk-upats. Flashy extravagance and polisa spending have been deleted on the list of popular habits, and has become smart to be thrifty. penny is again recognized as mething of value. What news on the Rialto, did someone ask? Well about forty legitimate Broadway theatres are managing to keep more or less busy, but relatively few of them have offerings which show signs of durability. "Three's a Crowd," which is really another of the annual "little shows," is perhaps the outstanding hit of recent weeks. This and "Nina Rosa" are the only musical shows extant that the provinces are likely to see. "Brown Buddies," with the incomparable Bill Robinson, marks the high point of the season for Negro revues. "On the Spot," Edgar Wallace's somewhat satirical melodrama of Chicago's gun life, appears to be here to stay for a while. Little else on the stage is worth writing to Aunt Sue about, unless it were to repeat that "Strictly Dishonorable," born in September, 1929, is still pursuing the record of "Able's Irish Rose," and that "Green Pastures," which has just passed its 390th performance, remains unrivalled as the dramatic event of the year. Into this suddenly-revised scheme of life, a multitude of public relief agencies are thrusting their emergency devices for helping the needy. One group is hiring unemployed heads of families by the housand to work in parks and institutions at $5 a day and is raising $6,000,000 by popular subscription to meet this created payroll. a common with the rest of the nation, the city is spreading its public works to the limit and corporations and business firms are seizing every opportunity to make new jobs. City employees are giving a action of their wages to a relief and to be administered mainly by usual, is in the van of the charisualu, is in the van of the charitable organizations providing succor for the hungry and homeless in headlines, dormitories and in other ways. So numerous and diverse have become the organizations for giving relief that former Governor Alfred E. Smith, at the head of a committee of 10 leading citizens, is directing the unification and coordination of the work. Because his wife had called him "lazy," Bert Wilkinson, 54, of Jackson, Michfl., ended his life by turning on the gas in a room at his home. The poor, therefore, have little to ear. Times cannot become so bad that anyone in genuine want may not obtain relief merely by stating is need. It is the 1930 class of new poor," who never before knew that poverty meant, who are most likely to suffer. With money gone at pride remaining, hundreds of these victims of the depression will When $149 in bank notes disappeared from a cigar box in a Lansing (Mich.) store, it was found that mice had taken the currency and used it in the construction of a nest. THE WISEST CRACKS IN AMERICA (To Be Cont'd) The Gary American PAGE FIVE GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1930 PAGE SERVED RED HOT EVERY ISSUE Marsh Mellows Heyw'd Broun To Be "M. C." For N.A.A.C.P. Noted Columnist to Lead The Annual Theatrical Show Next Month NEW YORK — A brilliant theatrical benefit for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is being arranged for the night of Sunday, December 7, in the Waldorf theatre, 116 West 50th 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, vaudeville and musical worlds are hastening 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. A. A. C. P benefit performances. Seats Begin to Sell Even before the subscription lists were opened Carl Van Vechten applied for four orchestra seats in the first row, and John W. Walker, prominent real estate operator of Harlem also put in an application for four front-row orchestra seats. The probability now is that the house which seats 1078, will be entirely sold out before the night of the benefit. Prices have been set low enough so that all who wsih to go and apply in time, may attend, the orchestra being priced at $5 for front row seats, $5 for box seats, $4 for rear orchestra and front mezzanine, $3 for rear mezzanine, and front balcony and the remainder of the balcony at $2 and $1. The Waldorf theatre is so constructed that all seats offer an excellent view of the stage. Bill Robinson on Program Marty Forkins, Manager of "Brown Buddies." the successful colored musical show now on Broadway, has already notified the N. A. A. C. P. that the celebrated Bill Robinson will execute his tap dances, and the well known singers, Adelaide Hall and Ada Brown, Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon will sing spirituals and Esther Junger, the dancer who so successfully interpreted James Weldon Johnson's "Go Down Death" and who is giving her own recital on November 23 with Richard Harrison reading, at the Guild theatre has consented to dance to a reading at the benefit. An extensive list of celebrities is being arranged for the program which is being responded to with enthusiasm on Broadway. Benefit Success Last Year Last years' benefit was hailed as one of the liveliest, best managed and most smoothly run-off benefit performances that Broadway had seen in many years, and the one this year promises to be even more brilliant. The N. A. A. C. P. promises to announce next week the names of some of the leaders in musical and theatrical fields in the country as volunteers on the program. School Strike Falls Through; Leaders Split Defense Council Says Hawkins and Turner Broke Up Strike (Continued from Page 1) again, but that if he would confine his talks to subjects in the field of education, the board would have no objection. Axes to Grind "It seems that the movement on the south side is headed more by individuals with personal axes to grind than by peopde with unselfish motives. "If the people will organize themselves into a concrete and representative group and bring their petition before the school board in a body, they can get a hearing and just consideration of the merits of the case." APPEARS BEFORE ELKS The local Elks lodge, which announced some time ago that they were preparing to get at the bottom of the case before taking any definite steps, was host to Mr. McFarlane at the Elks rest on Tuesday night. It was at first planned to make the meeting open to members only, but when the Roosevelt principal came there accompanied by several teachers and friends, Elk officials decided to permit anyone to attend the meeting who appeared. Mr. McFarlane stated that his speeches as given downtown were the same as those given at several churches, and which had met with the approval of Garyites. He said also that the fight against him had begun last summer and that his speeches were purely a subterfuge to cover up the real issues.

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. McAneeny points out that his company is offering 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 introduced one year ago and takes full recognition of the obligation to give the public every advantage in value and, at the same time, provide empolyment for a large number of workers. Hudson-Essex shatter precedent in announcing prices in advance of the public showing of the new models which is scheduled for the latter part of the month. This was done, according to President McAneeny, in order to give distributors and dealers the fullest possible cooperation in preparing for an aggressive sales and merchandising campaign strongly supported by advertising, as soon as they receive the company's 1931 offering. "We have built these models up to and beyond the 1931 standard of performance and quality in every way, and have never offered so many improvements in our history, said Mr. McAneeny. "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 the greatest combination of quality at low price in our entire history," said Hudson's chief.

Hubert Julian, head of the Abyssinian Emperor's air force until a few days before coronation when he tumbled at the feet of Ras Tafari in the potentate's favorite airplane, arrived here Tuesday on board the Ile de France and gave an entirely new version of the affair which dispatches stated caused his banishment. "The emperor and I were the best of pals when I left him," averred the colonel, "and you can prove the logicability of that by wiring him at my expense." The eagle of the air, as Col. Julian is called in Harlem flying circles, was quite willing to discuss his relations with the Abyssinian king of kings and explained the plane crackup and his subsequent hasty departure from his adopted land as due to a British ship and a French plot in an empire of intrigue. "It 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. "I am not afraid to die, but I want to die with my boots on." I had to force my resignation and they regretted it so. Yes, somebody crooked that British Moth plane in which I crashed at Addis Abeba. There was a plot which made it necessary for me to leave the country. **Condemn All French Planes** "When I first got over there I was instructed to revise the Abyssinian air force and the first thing I did was to condemn all the French planes. That is what caused all the trouble—they tried to bump me off. I supplanted some of the French aviators and that didn't sit so very well. "The day of the flight in which the plane crashed was the nature of an air demonstration. I was willing to give the emperor a thrill, for I was invited over there to take charge of the aviation corps. I also did some parachute jumping which pleased the emperor." The coloned had a passport which provided for a six months' visit to the United States, the flyer having relinquished his American citizenship to become an air minister. The passport, the colonel said, was proof enough he had not been banished from Abyssinia. Col. Julian said he would return to Abyssinia but first he intended doing some work to advance the interest of the race in aviation. He intends again to attempt a flight from New York to Abyssinia, with a non-stop hop to Europe as the first leg. Six years ago Julian started from Harlem on a flight to Abyssinia, but got only as far as the East river, where he was forced down by "pontoon trouble." SOLDIER KILLED IN ACCIDENT KANSAS CITY, Mo.-J.

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.

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.

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.

BURGHARDT DuBOIS, editor of the Crisis magazine, eminent socioligist, thinker, and considered to be the leader of the Negro intelligentsia as well as one of the ablest minds of either race, debated last week with Harvard university's eminent economist, Dr. Thomas N. Carver. During the course of his debate, Dr. DuBois said that any man who does not want social equality is "either a liar or an ass." Social equality in the DuBoisan sense means the right to live, work, and move about in any sphere, regardless of race, color, or creed, to which one is by temperament and training fitted. What sensible person could truthfully claim he has no desire to do such things? The stand of such an eminent and recognized thinker as DuBois makes the statements of Principal McFarlane and his minions doubly ridiculous. We can add nothing to the statement of the editor and N. A. A. C. P. official that those opposed to social equality are either liars or asses.

More and more serious is the situation becoming with not the slightest sign of a letup in sight. Wages are being reduced in many instances; workers that have been on the job for many years are being discharged and comparatively none can boast of being able to find a job. The coming winter season with its hardships and other dread results brings with it much disquieting uncertainty as to just how well the more unfortunate among our group will be protected against the ravages of a merciless winter. Negro people, who are in a position to do so, should band themselves together now for the purpose of helping to cope with the problem of rendering the inevitable assistance when the proper time comes. Churches, fraternal organizations and numerous other institutions in Indianapolis are capable if they will, of helping very effectively to deal with what is expected to be a most unusual and trying situation this winter within the ranks of our group. State-wide movements organized with the full co-operation of ministry, fraternal organizations, etc., in every community will be necessary to enable us to prove our ability to measure up to what is expected of us in a case of this kind. As a Race, it devolves upon us to interest ourselves in the matter, which calls for much determined effort and unselfish sacrifice on our part to drive the "wolves from the doors" of those of our group who will be unable to do it for themselves. The time has come when it is unavoidably incumbent upon us to be infinitely more self-dependent in the matter of helping ourselves as well as those of our group that are meritoriously entitled to service. It is to be hoped that proper cognizance will be taken by our people of the warnings indicated in the signs of the times and prepare now to perform a duty that will be principally ours to discharge in a worthy cause. To do so will be the fulfillment of a sacred duty. WE MUST STOP LYNCHING (Pittsburgh Courier) is highly probable that many people of reading about lynching. It is admitted that a great deal has been about lynching. The word itself is ugly and detracts from any point. The practice of the mob has been to all well-thinking people. The ability every intelligent citizen of any would rather talk about and lynching. There is something about that harrows up one's soul, irritates nervous system and leaves a back mouths of those who discuss it. It does not matter how distaster may be, the practice of lynching disturbed because nothing has to stop it. It is about time to talk about lynching and do some bit. At times there are surfaces that lynching is on the wane are also times when it appearing is not on the wane, but being wherever American mobs are form. If we are sick of hearing lynching; if we are tired of reading lynching; if we are bashful to discuss among our friends, the only thing to be in stopping the practice. The government of the United States can stop lynching. The government at Washington tend that it is about time to termination of the people to stop it. It made to speak out loud at Washington short, we must have an antidote, and the United States Congress has well get ready to pass that in South Carolina it appears one was afraid a Federal law would to stop lynching and the Legislature palmetto state came forward of its own anti-lynching law, which among other things, that a financed by the state of South Carolina county in which a lynching occurs was held up by many Southern lives as sufficient reason why a law should not be passed. But one came to try out the feasibility of the South Carolina law that lynching was not discouraged, but was given a certain amoition. Just the other day a man was levied by the state of Georgia on one of its counties because lynching of one Allen Greene, a Money is to be paid to the family lynched, whether he be white or going to the phraseology of the one enforcement of the law in Georgia struck a snag when the car Green was brought before the court it upon good authority that was "postponed on account of it is all they need in the South to these cases, they will all be posted the South is where we have heat. If this case can be postsease of heat, all the other cases in Georgia can be postponed for these reasons. It is all the reason in the world that must be passed by Congress proximal fines to be visited upon co-lynchings take place. If a FF passed it will put a stop to lynching those Southerners are not going out much money just to see a mobro. We have grown weary of reading lynching; if we are tired of talking things among our friends; if we widely disgusted when we hear the accused, we may just as well inconveniences and start all over have a law enacted by Congress. Hope to put any stop to lynching. It is highly probable that many people are tired of reading about lynching. It is also to be admitted that a great deal has been said about lynching. The word itself has become ugly and detracts from any printed page. The practice of the mob has become irksome to all well-thinking people. In all probability every intelligent citizen of this country would rather talk about anything but lynching. There is something about the word that harrows up one's soul, irritates the nervous system and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of those who discuss it. But it does not matter how distasteful the word may be, the practice of lynching goes on undisturbed because nothing has been done to stop it. It is about time to stop talking about lynching and do something about it. At times there are surface indications that lynching is on the wane; but there are also times when it appears that lynching is not on the wane, but is increasing wherever American mobs are allowed to form. If we are sick of hearing about lynching; if we are tired of reading about lynching; if we are bashful to discuss the subject among our friends, the only relief seems to be in stopping the practice. the government of the United States of America can stop lynching. The government gets its voice from the people, and when the people are ready to stop lynching their determination will find spoken voice through the government at Washington. We contend that it is about time that the determination of the people to stop lynching be made to speak out loud at Washington. In short, we must have an anti-lynching law, and the United States Congress had just as well get ready to pass that law. Down in South Carolina it appears that someone was afraid a Federal law would be passed to stop lynching and the Legislature of the palmetto state came forward and passed its own anti-lynching law, which provides, among other things, that a fine may be levied by the state of South Carolina on any county in which a lynching occurs. This law yas held up by many Southern Representatives as sufficient reason why a Federal law should not be passed. But when the time came to try out the feasibility and workability of the South Carolina law, we find that lynching was not discouraged by the law, but was given a certain amount of protection. Just the other day a fine of $2,000 was levied by the state of South Carolina on one of its counties because of the lynching of one Allen Greene, a Negro. This money is to be paid to the family of the man lynched, whether he be white or black, according to the phraseology of the law. But the enforcement of the law in South Carolina struck a snag when the case of Allen Green was brought before the courts. We have it upon good authority that the case was "postponed on account of heat." if heat is all they need in the South to postpone these cases, they will all be postponed, because the South is where we have most of the heat. If this case can be postponed because of heat, all the other cases in South Carolina can be postponed for the same reason. This is all the reason in the world why a bill must be passed by Congress providing for similar fines to be visited upon counties wherein lynchings take place. If a Federal law is passed it will put a stop to lynching, because those Southerners are not going to pay out much money just to see a mob lynch a Negro. If we have grown weary of reading about lynching; if we are tired of talking about lynchings among our friends; if we are actually disgusted when we hear the word pronounced, we may just as well forget these inconveniences and start all over again to have a law enacted by Congress if we ever hope to put any stop to lynching.

INDIANA A Diplomat at Large I have often wondered what kind of a report beings from an older and wiser world might turn in if they made an exploring trip to this earth of ours and happened to visit Gary. I suppose it might read as follows: "The human race in Gary is composed of some 43 breeds, or nationalities, as they quaintly call themselves. About one fifth of the town's population of 100,000 is of Negroid extraction. A Negro, according to Caucasian definition, is any person ranging from black to white who has made no notable contribution to a system of exploitation by mechanical means known as civilization. On the other hand, those classed as Negroes try to show where any individual ranging from black to white who has accomplished something has Negro blood in his veins, as may be shown by their claims of racial kinship with Solomon, Alexander Hamilton, Moses, a president of questionable character named Harding, and numerous other characters. "These Negroes are given particularly to giving their earnings to another of their group, known as a preacher. This preacher presides over a building known as a church. After exhausting all available funds in this manner they sit down and wonder why they have no money. These churches, incidentally, are all supposed to be used to serve the same God. Apparently, these people believe that their God hunts around and decides to come into only the biggest and most ornamental building on Sunday, which is the day these beings remember Him and seek Him out. "It is the policy of Garyites, like the beings of other cities, to hold elections. An election means the presence of candidates. A candidate is a being who can talk, make promises, and attack the reputation of other candidates. As a rule, the candidate who can say the most, make the most promises, and ruin the most reputations of his opponents, is elected. Whereupon he is beset by scores of unknown workers,—the number depending on the size of the job to which he was elected—who claim they were laboring in his behalf during the campaign, and who would be satisfied with a job. On the other hand, it is stated in the past that the democrats, a political party distinguished from the republicans of late by name only, have had Negro workers and have not received as many votes as there were workers. "The city has what are called policemen to enforce as many laws as they can remember offhand. They are permitted to break some to enforce others. A policeman may best be described as an individual who can be found except when needed. When a big crime is committed, a policeman makes it his business to see that the criminal or criminals have gone before he comes around. When told that the culprit has gone north, the policeman sets off in a southerly direction, presumably on the theory that the criminal is taking a walk around the block and will be met. "Negroes amuse themselves with whiskey, a liquid taken inwardly because it's against the law; gambling, the illegal brother of real estate promotion, stock and bond investing, life insurance, and other businesses; dancing, consisting of wearing out shoes to music, and enjoying the company of somebody else's wife. The casual observer will be unable to distinguish the professional man from the laborer purely by observing the amusement of each. Incidentally, some of the school teachers teach during the day and are taught by their pupils at night. "The entire species of being, both Negro and Caucasian, has as yet shown no noticeable improvement over its ancestors. These ancestors are thought to have come from a still more distant ancestor which was also parent to the monkey. We, the members of this committee, think monkeys are the more intelligent as they have made no attempts to either civilize themselves or set up governments." * * * Feeling that even such a report as this might show decided bias toward the human race is F. MARSHALL DAVIS The Health Question Question The Health Question Dr. Dennis A. Bethea (Health Editor, The Gary American) Our health depends more upon how we eat than what we eat. Our sense of taste serves as a check up on what goes in the system, but there seems to be no check upon how we eat, except the habit that we formed in our earlier years. If these eating habits are bad it is not very good for us. It is as hard to change our habit of eating when we are mature as it is to teach an old dog new tricks or to serve the Lord when we are hungry. For this reason we should start the little youngster out with the proper one, then if he should fall down and break it, it will not be the parents' fault. Many persons who eat rapidly, know very well that this is injurious to them, but they have become so accustomed to it that they find it well nigh impossible to check themselves. You may have a dinner of spring chicken or quail on toast and gulp it down like a goose, then it will not do you any more good than neck-bones or corn-beef and cabbage. Of course this machine age has much to do with our rapid way of eating. There are so many things to do and such a short time in which to do it, that we are tempted to cut down on the half hour that we should spend with our meals. Another habit that should be formed early and followed late, is that of regularity. As the day follows the night and the spring follows the winter, so should one meal follow the other. Some families have no certain time to eat, but just eat when they feel like it, even if this should be ten times a day. I have seen housewives wake up in the dead of the night and boil hog jowl and cabbage. Persons who take their meals at restaurants or hotels, as well as those persons in the home, who have to eat alone are the worst offenders. When one eats alone he will naturally neglect himself, where he would not do it if he takes his meals with others. It is just as bad to eat too frequent as it is to eat not frequent enough. Eating too much is also one of those habits that is hard to break. The great majority of people eat much more than they should, but they have become so accustomed to it that they imagine that their bodies require to be stuffed and packed down like a thanksgiving turkey. One should rise from the table just before the saturation point or just about the time you feel that you could eat one more biscuit. However, if times do not change many of us will be getting up from the table feeling as if we could eat a whole plate full. One of the best eating habits that one can form is that of cheerfulness at the meal time. You should save all your funny stories for the dinner table. This will not only slow down your eating speed, but it will make the digestive glands secrete more freely, thus facilitating the work of digestion.

Mitchell Next Thursday, through executive proclamations, will be set aside as the day to give thanks for the blessings that have been bestowed upon us during the year. *** There will be a great many of our race, suffering the pangs of depressed times, who seemingly will have little to be thankful for. Among these will be some, though able-bodied, healthy and employed, who have been careless in their possessions, frittering away their earnings in lavish living and licentious pleasures. A great many others, however, are feeling the pinch of poverty due to conditions entirely beyond their control, sickness, injuries, unemployment and death. Each reader of this column knows some deserving individual or family, in dire need of the physical and practical possessions of life, and it is to be hoped that those in position to do so, will seek out such a case and show their thanks in a practical manner to the unfortunate ones at this time. * * * You can prove that you are thankful for the blessings extended to you and yours by silently, but effectively, helping some one in need. It is not necessary to form a club, with a high-powered press agent to exploit your deeds of charity, nor to advertise your giving with photographs of your activity. When we pray we have faith that the Almighty will see and hear our prayers, then, let us have the same faith that He will see our charitable deeds. In giving thanks we are presumed to be extending them to the Almighty and as long as He can see that we are helping some of His needy children our prayer of thanks will be just as effective and far more appreciated without the brass band and loud speakers to herald our acts of kindness. No matter how bad the conditions there can always be found many things to be grateful and thankful for and in our group we are well blessed. The hard times of the past year have shown to us, as nothing heretofore has, our own racial weaknesses and seeing clearly what is essential to our progress we are thankful for the many organizations and individuals who are blazing the way for us. * * * We are thankful for the national organizations who are fighting for our rights, through the courts. We are thankful for the national organizations who are building up our business opportunities; training our merchants and organizing the our marchants and organizing the consumers. We are thankful that we have a few conscientious political leaders, aggressive and fearless, who have proven that they are fit to lead and who do not "sell" us out at the crucial moment. We are thankful that our press is awakening the people, teaching them to think along lines that are most practical for our own welfare. We are thankful that some of our religious leaders are recognizing the practical side of religion as well as the theoretical. In addition to giving thanks for these things peculiar to our racial condition we must also reflect for a moment on matters concerning our nation of which we are an integral part and have been since its inception, even though unrecognized and sorely tempted with/ trials and prejudices. While conditions may not seem to be the best in this country, yet, we have only to study the wars, riots, revolutions, the monarchial, social, political and ligious discontent now existing in other nations, to realize that in spite of our domestic troubles we would still be worse off than we are if we were located in some of those other countries. So in rendering thanks for these things for which we are grateful, let us, for the moment, be charitable in thought and include all elements of our nation with the hope that as we grow in grace and strength that we will come to understand each other better and that the strong will aid the weak, the rich will aid the poor, and that the races in their forbearance will recognize each according to individual merit and character. While you are enjoying your Thanksgiving Day Football game; your specially prepared Thanksgiving Day Feast; your particular theatre parties; your balls and dances, etc., — remember — that there are some who will be unable to enjoy such luxuries and your pleasures will be greater through the knowledge that you have first helped some one, less fortunate, who wil then also have something to be grateful for on the coming Thanksgiving Day.

Seventy-three veniremen were called last week a Dallas, Texas in an effort to select a jury to try the fourteen men under indictment for burning the courthouse a Sherman and cremating the body of George Hughes, who had been locked in a vault by the sheriff for "safe-keeping. Of the 73 men called only four were selected who said they could give the accused mobbists a prison sentence. The prosecuting attorney at Dallas has asked that the trial be transferred to Austin, the capital city, and that the office of the state attorney general try the case. He believes that it would practically be impossible to obtain a conviction in Dallas, because of its proximity to Sherman and as many of the residents feel in accord with the mobbists' actions in Sherman. Knowing Texas as we do, there is no doubt whether a conviction can be obtained in Austin. And if there is a conviction, it will be a slight jail sentence for the burning of the Grayson county courthouse and not for the burning of the body of George Hughes. The School Fight Goes On.

The question sprang up again last week when a "strike" was called at the Roosevelt high school. There seems to be a difference of opinion concerning who is leader of the fight. The Citizens' Defense Council has been demanding the removal of Prof. MacFarlane. Then some of the ministers, it is reported, called a "strike" of the children; or at least it was to be the parents' strike; keeping their children out of the school. The defense council then joined with the ministers in advocating the propose strike. Then the ministers called-off the strike, but the defense council said it was "still-on" and some of the parents kept their children out of school. It leads us to ask the question, "who is the leader in this fight, and who are we to believe concerning probable action?" In an effort to centralize force, whereby better result can be obtained from requests made of the Board of Education, we suggest the organization of a Parent-Teacher Association of the Roosevelt high school. In that organization, the affairs of the school, in its relation to public service, could be regulated. The representatives appointed by that body would have some force when dealing with the officials of the Board of Education, because then petition would be substantiated by a consensus of opinion, rather than the ideas of a "select few." Just now it seems that most of the noise is "going up a hollow tree." and no results will be obtained.

Massil- The People Say A number of parents of children going to Roosevelt high school have come to the conclusion that we ought to raise our voices in protest against the shameful persecution of our esteemed principal, Professor MacFarlane, by a little group of people, most of them haven't even got a child attending the Roosevelt high school. Professor MacFarlane is one of the best prepared men we have ever had in Gary, and has done and is doing perfectly splendid piece of work among the children and young people of the south side. The universal love his pupils of all grades from the kindergarten through is the best proof of the value of his work. Every parent who has taken the time to visit the school the past few years well knows what a change has come over the school since Professor MacFarlane came to Gary. Why, the place seems to have been made over. And this is just the whole trouble. If the professor didn't have a program, if he could be used by the little mischief-makers in our town, they would never think of trying to fight him. But they can see the results of his work. They are beginning to feel the force of himself and the high school boys and girls who have accepted his leadership. They don't want anybody to come in and succeed where they for years upon years have done nothing, especially where success means offering a good example and furnishing inspiration to boys and girls. This is the whole truth, Mr. Editor, and if some of the good people who are making themselves ridiculous by leading the fight on the professor don't lay off, we parents who know the record of some of them in this community are prepared to expose them.

Do you speak a word of kindness To the man about the street? Anything you do for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. Do you help to lift the fallen, Help to make their burdens light Do you speak a word of warning To some wayward, thoughtless child? Do you make this old world better Neighbor, is your life worth while Is your life a life of service? Is your home a home of joy? Are you living an example To inspire some girl or boy? Are you trying to live better, And more useful day by day? Do you help some struggling brothe Who has fallen by the way? Do you waste your daily earning For some vain and worthless style Do you spend your money wisely- Neighbor, is your life worth while Do you try to live for Jesus?
