dale, suburb OF this city, opened suit
in the common pleas court here last
week, asking writ OF mandamus to
force Supt. {. {. Wood, white. OF the
Glendale public schools, to admit his
children to the Erie Avenue school
Officials OF the Juvenile court are also
investigating the report that over 50
per cent OF the colored children OF the
suburb are not attending school This
shortage OF attendance IS said 10 be
due 20 the fact that admission is
denied oolored children in tho Eric
Avcnuc school, officials oontending
that there Is no room Tor them there.
Admission IS offered these children
at the Eckstein school, said to be
operated exclusively ior coiored chill

per cent OF the colored children of

Politician and Preacher in Scandal

According TO the operatives report
the men behind the blockade are
the Rev. Hawkins, pastor OF the First
Baptist church of Gary, and DR..
Garnctt, a, political payroll employee
in Gary. The report of the Keystone
Bureau charges the Rev. Hawkins
with attempts to dominate the school
situation by his influence as pastor
OF the largest church in Gary, and TO
place himself as dictator. According
to the charges made, if separate
schools were abolished, the Rev.
Hawkins would lose his control over
those applying for employment as
teachers. The charges against DR..
Garnett are even more sordid, al
leging that DR.. Garrett is anxious
10 protect his position as juvenile OF
fcer in Gary by having the schools
separated. The charges even go fur
Their and allege that DR.. Garnett's
chief interest in the retention OF sep
arate schools is to provide employ
ment for his daughter, Miss Ida Gar
nett. who probably would be unable
to obtain employment in mixed
school.
