ing Parson
The initial 500 installment of the
fine imposed on Richard p. Westren,
former marrying parson," was
made up Thursday by group OF
about fifteen residents OF Elkton,

could neither pay the 500 nor go to
Jail.

hospital and, his wife being there in
attendance, he had no one to whom
he could turn over his affairs at
home. The court gave him permits
sion to take his wife home and order
ed him to return and deliver himself
to the Sheriff. 1t was not until after
he had left on that mission that the
500 was collected.

forming the rites of marriage, and
was tried in September. He was
found guilty and fined $500 and
costs in the Circuit Court for Cecil
county, which, on later consideration

Grand Jury


On Wednesday of last we91
case of the Victory Sparkler u Spec
ialty Company VS.. the Pennsylvania
Railroad was tried before jury.
On December 22nd, 1926, the
'Sparkler Company shipped car load
of fire works to the Liberty Fire
works Company, of Franklin Park,
ILL.,, via. the Pennsylvania Railroad
in one of their cars. A few days
later, the contents of the car were
damaged by fire. The Sparkler Co.
replaced the damaged goods and had
the car sent to its destination. A
claim was then filed against the
Railroad for $10S6.7O. the costs OF
the damaged goods and their re-
placement.
The Court ruled that the Railroad
was not liable to the Sparkler Com
pany for the value OF the damaged
and destroyed goods, because title to
those fire works was not in the
Sparkler Company, at the time OF
the fire but in the consignee, the
Liberty Fireworks Company, and
the jury returned verdict for the
defendant.
In the suit of Mrs. Irene Sykes
against Miss Margaret Anderson for
the alienation of the affections of
her husband, George Sykes, the jury
awarded Mrs. Sykes $2,500. The
suit was for $4,000.
George Sykes was taken to Elkton
under guard from the House of Cor
rection, where he is serving SEN
tence for the sale of liquor without
license. Testimony presented
during the case alleged that the de-
fendant had enticed Sykes away from
his wife,

name out of fear of intimidatng the
bigots of the Southland and his lily
white supporters in the Republican
party.
Denunciation
The dcnunciation which is being
hurled at Hoover. by Negroes in Har-
lem, is not mild among those who
are members Of the Republican par
ty. 1t IS pointed out on every hand
and by Negroes who have been life
long Republicans, that Hoover is try
ing TO carry water on both should
ers. A group of men discussing
the acceptance address, on the corner
of l40th street and Seventh avenue.
Saturday night, suggested that the
only way TO. whip the Republican
party into line, was for Negroes to
help put them out of business on
November 9th.
judging from the conversation
which YVES carried on with fervor.
the majority of the recalcitrant
group has voted the Republican tick
ct exclusively since they became of
age. In another hot discussion that
took place in the dining room of
the Hotel Dumas, Sunday afternoon,
Mr.. Hoover was charged with trying
to placate the farmer and the South,
and to leave the Negro to fight his
own battles.
Official information which leaked
out from Republican Headquarters
ON Forty-second street, is that DIR.
Hubert Work, national chairman Of
the Republican party, and his aides
have become very much worried af-
ter being informed by those who
have been sent out by the national
Committee. that Negroes are revolt
ing against the Republican party in
every state in the Union.
Another rumor which is being dis
seminatcd is that the Republican Ma
tional Committee has sent out a num-
Der of white men to gum shoe" in
the large cities of the country among
Negroes for the purpose of getting
the lowdown among Negro voters.
1t is alleged that the white gum
shoers' are TO point out to Negroes
that every law which has been leg
islGted conducive to the success of
the race was lecislated by the Re-
publican party, that has always been
a true friend of the race, and that
all legislation that iG detrimental to
the race is the making of the Demo-
cratic party. In answer TO this argu-
ment Negroes in Harlem say that
the Republican party died when the
late Roosevelt died. And that Hoov-
er and the party have sought to de-
strOy the race in politics as a bid for
Southern white vote.
White reporters in the city rep
Tesenting big white dailies are frank
in telling one that leaders of the
Republican party, are up in the air
as a result of the depletion of tine
colored voters. These correspond
ents are frank to tell you that the
Democratic National Committee is
pinning its hone in the Negro for
the success of "Al" Smith.
