INDIANAPOLIS IS
MyST|F|ED OVER
T0MPK|NS CASE
''Who Murdered George TOmp-
kins?" is Question asked
by County Coroner.
STRANGLED TO DEATH
rs BELIEF OF SOME
Examination Showed That Boy
was Murdered Before Be-
ing Hung.

Indianapolis, Ind, April George
Tompkins is the name of the young
Colored man who was found hanging
in the cold spring woods near here.
1t is a mystery to the police but they
are satisfied that he was murdered
and then taken to the spot and hang
ed in an effort to suggest that he had
been lynched. He was identified by
pay envelopes and a notebook bear
ing his name. His record here has
been good and the circumstances sur
rounding the murder have made it
one Of the most puzzling cases the
detectives have ever had to deal with.
Detective Theories.
When found, the young mans feet
were crossed and resting on the
ground. The half inch rope around
his neck was tied to two of the limbs
two feet above his head. The feet
were about one and one half feet
from the trunk of the tree and the
body was resting against the tree.
The detectives said the young man
could not have fallen in such posi-
ton after killing himself. The hand
kerchief which bound his hands be-
hind his back was not tied tightly
and the detectives said if he had been
alive when the bands were tied on
him, he could have struggled out of
them easily. Four or five VI the
small limbs on the side Of the tree
on which the body was found, had
been cut off, apparently with small
penknife.
Coroner's Opinion.
DR.. Paul F. Robinson, coroner, who
conducted an autopsy of the boys
body said the examination showed
that death undoubtedly was due to
strangulation. He is inclined to the
belief that the boy was strangled to
death before the body was tied to the
tree.

Negro Sought For
Auto Accident
One Killed and two Injured in
Auto Accident in Mill City
One Man Sought

Minneapolis detectives Thursday,
were still searching for Oscar Ever
EFT, Negro, to solve the mystery of
an automobile accident in which one
man was killed and two women in
jured early Sunday morning. The
accident occurred at Erie street and
Washington ave., northeast when the
automobile hit a telephone pole.
John Lawson, As years old, living
at the Keystone Hotel, 1923 Wash
ington avenue North, was killed al
most instantly. Ruby Parker, 1920
Fifth street, So, and Hazel Schwartz,
1917 Washington avenue South, were
injured. Both were taken to the
General Hospital. Ruby Parker has
been released, because her injuries
were not serious, but the other wo-
mans condition is considered very
serious, and she is still in the General
Hospital.
Detectives are investigating the ac-
cident and they have learned that
the car was stolen from the garage
of ]. F. Jordan, 116 Seventh ST.,
South and it belonged to Earl Nc
Ginnis of International Falls, MINI.
1t is supposed that the car was stolen
by Everett, who worked at the ga
rage. Thorough investigation, it is
believed that Everett and his friends
had been to a party on Fourteenth
avenue So, leaving the party they
went for a joy ride with Everett
driving the car.
Since then, Everett has disappear
ed and Minneapolis Police have been
unable to find him.

York Fines Negro Financier
of Many Titles.

Marcus \. Garvey, organizer of
the Black Star Steamship line, and
high highness, the potentate of the
Universal Negro Improvement Asso-
citation, and provisional president
general of Africa" was ordered by
the supreme court today to pay the
Pan-Union corporation SS,0O0.30 for
the non-deliverey of a cargo of Ii
quor to Cuba.
In 1920, Garvey signed a contract
with the Pan-Union corporation to
carry, to Cuba, a S3,00O,00O liquor
shipment on the steamer Yarmouth,
flag ship of the Black Star line. The
Yarmouth started with the consign-
ment of liquor, but it was stopped
and seized by Federal agents. The
Federal agents discovered the liquor
because the crew tapped the cargo
and became hilarious.
Garvey's ambitious promotion Of
big enterprises among the cofored
people recently got him into trouble
with the Federal authorities on a
charge of using the mails to defraud.
On this charge, he is alleged to have
obtained funds by mailing glittering
prospectuses about the Black Star
line. He is now out on bond await
ing trial.

ghost threatens to react to the seri-
Gus disadvantage of the man who is
pointed out as the central figure in
the outrage.
Just seven years ago Charles Da-
Wis, federal employee, now deceased
and his wife, a teacher in the city
schools, purchased house on For
restville Ave-, in the 45th block, a
neighborhood in which no Colored
people had lived. When the time
came for them to take possession,
they parked their belongings in two
huge vans and drove up to the door
of their new home. An angry mob
greeted them with hoots and jeers
and inside the house they found a
Gordon Of police drawn up for the
purpose of refusing them admission
to their own property.
The outgoing white tenant refused
to turn the key over to Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis, but took 1t to the Woolf Real
Estate Co., which had sold the pro-
perty. One Of the neighbors who had
been active in the crowd surrounding
the house took the key from the ring
in the real estate Office without per-
mission. He then refused to give the
key to Mr.. and Mrs. Davis who have
never been able to gain possession
despite that for five years one of the
most prominent attorneys Of the race
had their case in court without ac-
ton. Since that the Davis have been

It is now press going time and we

senger to Mayor Hodgson, is right
or wrong when he says Frank Kel-
logg will continue to serve as "THE
Senator from Minnesota"
II believe Senator Kellogg will
win," said Mr.. Lewis.

he was asked.
There is a hundred reason, why
he should be reelected. He is a
capable man who has made record
in Washington as senator among
senator's and the only man now fitted
for the job"
So we conclude that if Senator Kel-
logg does not win out, Mr.. Lewis was
wrong.

City Council Passes Ordinance
Barring COlOred and White
Persons from Intermingling.
COLORED ORGANIZATIONS
FIGHT SEGREGATION
Law is Regarded as Open In
fingement of Citizens COnsti-
tutiOnal Rights.

Portland, Ore, March 29-Despite
protests of colored organizations,
the city council, at behest of Mayor
Baker, adopted resolutions condemn
ing the intermingling of colored and
white persons at dances, grills and
restaurants. Yesterday the commits
sioners in special session gave unan-
imous support to Mayor Bakers ed
let that intermingling of races must
cease and as far as freedom of ac-
tion for colored persons are con-
cerned, Portland may be likened to
Vicksburg, Mississippi.
About two weeks ago, when the
council was hearing evidence on the
case against r. d. Stuart, whose re-
sort was raided by the police, the
fact was disclosed that colored men
were dancing with white girls, and
Mayor Baker announced that such in
termingling must cease in the inter-
est of common decency.
Right of City Questioned.
The right of the city to stop such
interming1ing was questioned by at
torneys for Stuart, who maintained
that there was no law on the statute
books prohibiting a black man from
dancing with a white woman.
Mayor Baker announced if there
was no such law he would instruct
the city attorney to draft a law
which will make it absolutely clear
that there will be no institution op-
Grated in this city where whites and
blacks may intermingle.
Following announcement of this
policy various colored organizations
met and adopted resolutions that the
passage of any legislation, such as
was suggested by the mayor, would
create race prejudice.
Mayor Upheld by Council.
Last Tuesday the city council was
called together by Mayor Baker and
after considering the resolutions and
letters which had been forwarded to
the mayor, it adopted resolutions sup
porting him.
City Attorney Grant, who had in
vestigated the situation, stated that
no additional legislation was requir-
ed to attain the object outlined by
Mayor Baker.
