Chrysler Service
School Re0pens

A bulletin of unusual interest
just sent out by the Chrysler Sales
corporation to its dealer organiza-
ton announces that the Chrysler
service school is about to reopen its
sessions at the factory in Detroit.
This school, now beginning it's
second year, proved to be remark
ably successful last winter in point
of attendance and Of enthusiastic
approval by those who went to De-
troit to take advantage of it's Of
ferings.
The course is arranged for Chrys-
Ter service managers, shop supcrin-
tendents and service field men, and
is designed to put at the command
OF all the c0mpany's distributors
and dealers the opportunity of pro-
viding in their home communities

practical and successful automobile
service.
The course offered in the school
covers every branch of service sta
ton operation. 1t includes among
other subjects accounting; stock

diagnosis and correction, standard
lied maintenance and all technical
and mechanical phases Of Chrysler
products.

tions and screen pictures. Many
who attended the school last win
ter have reported to the company
that not only has the training re-
ceived proved invaluable but that
the direct contact with others hav-
ing the same problems and duties
as themselves was found to be al
most as profitable in their work
after returning home.

BADLY CUT

Much excitement was caused
Saturday afternoon, when John Nap
per, a colored man, appeared in the
parking space at Feitig's Auto Supply
Station, Fourth and Marshall Streets.
He had three knife wounds in his
back near the shoulder. He was
literally covered with blood. The
ambulance surgeon arrived and
sewed up the wounds. All the in
formation he gave was that another
man, known as blackjack, had cut
him in trying to take his money away
from him. He did not get the money.
Napier lives at 519 E. Franklin
Street and is employed by the John
+. Wilson Company on contract
work.
He seemed so over-joyed at his
escape and the saving of his money
that he had little to say about the
man who cut him. His wife went
along with him to his home, someone
having notified her of the occurrence.

SION ACT

The grand jury of the United
States District Court in this city on
Tuesday, October 8, 1927, indicted
Attorney j. R. Pollard for the al
legged violation of the World War
Veterans Act in charging more than
$1,000 for legal services. It seems.
that DR.. w. j. Pettis employed POI
lard to get his uncle out of the
Central Hospital at Petersburg, Va.,
about year ago. He made two trips
over there in DR.. Pettis' car and.
charged $4,000 for, each trip. Pol.I
lard Qualified Dr., Pettis in the State
court to take charge of his uncle. =
He also wrote concerning the back
pay due the veteran and a check for
approximately $994.OO was received.
Attorney Pollard charged ten per
cent for collecting this pension.
money. The bill Of Pollard was ap-
proved by State Commissioner of
Accounts. Pollard's total bill was
approximately $169. Of this amount
$4,000 was paid by DR.. Pettis. All
went well until DR.. Pettis was re-
quired to make a report to the
OttAeSu 0eoeSo odIuOIlIlCos ndC OIL
ficial saw this item and notified Pol
lard that he would not allow this ten
per cent charge and insisted that he
refund all of the money paid on that
particular item. Attorney Pollard
declined so to do. Thereupon, The
United States official laid the matter
before the United States grand jury
and an indictment against J. R. Pol
lard was returned. Bail was allowed
in the sum of $4,000, with Mr.. w.
G. Singleton as surety.
The case will go over to the next
term of the United States District
Court. Under the Federal statutes,

mitted to charge in excess of $1,000
for legal services rendered in con-
nection with the bonus or pension

Surprising Happening.

A most distressing accident took
place Tuesday, October 4th, at the
residence of Mrs. Mary E. Hudson,
1888 N. Fifth Street, which resulted
in the death of her two-year-old
grandchild, Geraldine Elizabeth Price,
Wednesday night at the above resi-
dence. Mrs. Hudson was cleaning up
and she brought down some empty
bottles in a suit case, placing the
suit case on the back porch to be
given to the ash man when he came
by. Alfred Price, age four years,
took one of the empty bottles out of
the suit case and poured some
chicken water in the bottle, which
bottle had contained carbolic acid
and gave it to the child, Geraldine.
Mrs. Hudson's attention was at
tracted to the child after it had taken
of the water and Immediately sus-
pected the cause of the trouble.
Emergency tre2tement was rendered,
the city ambulance sent for and the
child removed to the hospital. All
efforts to save the life of the child
were unavailing and it died from the
effect of the poison.

But life was not extinct, and at a

pulled the trigger.
An army helmet was placed over
the wound, the fife and drum corps
played a quickstep, and the soldiers
who had lined the courtyard in a
hollow square were paraded past the
body to show them what happens to

The crowd began to disperse, the
peddlers resuming their cries and the
courtyard where so many men have
died was soon nearly empty. Only
the little lizards remained, playing
up and down the sun-soaked wall
among the bullet holes. The body lay
beneath, waiting to be claimed by

A PECULIAR CHARGE

The following article appeared in
the columns of the Richmond, Va,
News Leader of the 41th inst:
j. Andrew Bowler, IT,, Negro law
student, of 112 East Leigh Street,
was arrested late yesterday en- a war
rant alleging that he hid fraudulent
ly attempted to procure a State law
license by trying to get advance
copies of the last Stata bar eXamina-
ton, held in Roanoke lin June. So
far as is known, this is the first case
of the kind ever in Police court.
Action against Bowler was insti-
tuted through an investigation made
by M. B. Watts, SECRETARY to the
State board of law examiners, and
Attorney f. 7. Haynes, counsel to
the board. 1t is claimed that Bowler
attempted to bribe persons entrusted
with the printing of bar examination
questions, which attempt ended in
failure.
Bowler was among those who
failed to pass the examination in
Roanoke. The alleged attempt to
procure advance inform nation as to
the questions occurred here several
days before the date set for the tests.
According to Attorney Haynes,
Bowler's alleged dishonest efforts
failed primarily because. of the
loyalty of employees in charge of
printing the examination questions.
The case will be heard in police
court on October 10.
Andrew Bowler, Jr., denies that
he made any effort to purchase ex-
animation questions as alleged. He
visited the Appeals office to find out
about the fee he had paid for the
examination, and in passing white
boy was Juggling a bundle contain
ing the questions, which had been
printed and he assisted him with the
same. This was last June. He
thought no more about it until war
rant for his arrest was served ON him.
The statute provides a fine of an
amount not exceeding $500 or "a term
in jail not exceeding IL months, pro-
viding the charge is proved. The
charge is misdemeanor and will be
heard before Judge John l.. Ingram.

COLORED MAN
KILLS MANY
Deadly Hin of an alabama Fighter.
Body Riddled With Bullets.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 11.-One
man lay at the point of death and
fourteen others were severely wound
ed as the final episode was being en-
acted today in the life of Charlie
Pinkston, crazed Negro, who late
yesterday wrote his name with blood
and guns in the police history OF
Birmingham.
Pinkston's body, literally per-
forated with bullets from the barrage
laid down on the Negroes barricaded
home yesterday, by more than l0O
police officers, was to be removed
from the mortuary, where it has lain
under heavy guard, and buried.
Apparently losing his mind when
George Kirkhoff, city sanitation
officer, attempted to inspect his ice
cream stand, Pinkston slashed the
inspectors throat and fled to a near
by house, where he barricaded him
self and took his stand at a window
with shotgun.
Use Machine Gun.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Williams, ar
irving to arrest the Negro, was met
by a shotgun charge, which took
effect in his abdomen. A riot call was
Immediately sent in and officers en-
deavored to dislodge the Negro with
barrage from machine guns, pistols
and rifles.
Failing in this, an armored police
car was driven along side the Negro 5
stronghold and five tear bombs tossed
within.
Meanwhile, eight policemen, in en-,
deavoring to remove Williams to 9
nearby ambulance, dropped under the
: fire of the Negro. In addition, six
persons in crowd of more than
5000 that clogged streets about the
house were wounded by stray shots.
Williams was finally put in an am
bulance and taken to a hospital where
a blood TRANSMISSION and operation
were resorted to in an effort to save
his life. Physicians, however, hole
out slight hope for his recovery.
Several policemen mounted to the
roof of an adjacent house, where
through window, they could see
Pinkston staggering about within
apparently almost overcome by the
fog of tear gas.
Falls Under Volley.
! Plainclothes Officer Woody Sande'
fer. opened fire on the Negro, who
staggered out of range. At the same
instant, squad of detectives anc
police rushed the room, and Pinkstor
fell under volley of bullets tina,
perforated his arms, head, shoulder:
and chest.
Several hundred incensed members
of the mob that had watched the
pitched battle broke through police
lines and trampled on Pinkston's
body. They were driven off, how
ever, and the body taken to police
headquarters under heavy guard. Il
was later transferred to Negro
mortuary.
In addition to Williams, those in.
iured were: E. w. Jackson, finger
print expert, shot in head. M. E
McDuff, bystander, shot in abdomen
Harry E. Morris, detective, shot II

LEST WE FORGET
(Newport News. Va, Starr

(Newport News, Va, Starr
We observe that the Richmond
Planet, of which our old friend John
Mitchell, Jr., is the able and accom-
plished editor, is just closing very
vigorous campaign for an increase
of subscribers. The Star hopes that
the campaign has been in every way
successful.
Any man of our group who has
kept abreast of the labors, services,
and sacrifices of our leading men
during the last quarter of century,
knows that John Mitchell, Jr., has
wrought nightly for the Negro race
during that period and even longer
in matters vital to our interest. For
long number of years when lynch
, irg was becoming an American
pastime the Planet closed its vigor-
Gus editorials on the subject almost
Severy week with the slogan Lynch
law must CO." This slogan was kept
up until it became the policy of all
the leading white dailies of the South
to the extent that the best public
sentiment is growing against the
great evil.
For years and years when John
Mitchell, Jr., became convinced that
innocent Negroes had been unjustly
convicted, he would go to the scene
| of the alleged crimes, interview white
and black, and then would let fly
broadsides from the Planet until the
people were aroused.
So we wish Brother Mitchell well
and trust that our group will never
forget the services he has rendered
us and the sacrifices ne has made to
help to advance our interest as a
part of the body polite.
