Six Negro Alternates
At Demos. Convention

CHICAGO. - Six alternates, the
largest number of colored delegates
that ever attended a Democratic
national convention, were in Chicago
last week.
Only once before has there been
a colored alternate to participate in
national Democratic convention
and that was in 1924 when the New
York organization sent an alternate
who sat in the absence of one of
the regular delegates. Alternates at
the session this year came from New
York, Kansas, Colorado, West Vir-
ginia and Illinois.
Leaders say the natural antipathy
to Herbert Hoover will drive thou
sands of voters into the Democratic
ranks this year. Ferdinand @. Nor
ton, New York civil service commits
sioner, is generally regarded as ma
tional leader, who will head the
campaign among colored voters.
Joseph L. McLemore of st. Louis,

Hezekiah Hebron of Kansas City
and Harry Leland of Omaha are
among those who report many addi-
tons to the Democratic ranks since

Woman Builds Business

DETROIT. Mich. - Mrs. II. s.
Dunbar, wife of the former secretary
of the Detroit Y. NJ. c. A., has
launched business within the con
fines of her home which, despite the
economic crisis, has grown so rapidly
that she now has six assistants.
Mrs. Dunbar decided to go into
the manufacturing of light wear for
women and began to make smocks,
light coats and tailored articles for
women of the rather exclusive dis
trict in which she lived. She was
able to price them low because Of
the low costs and a slender over
head.
Her clientele, virtually all white,
began to crowd the room she set
aside in her home until she had to
add room and the six helpers.

Bremerton Dick Tupim Famous Negro
Diver Joins Hunt Seeking Sunken Gold

BREMERTON, Wash.-Black six
foot Dick Turpin, who retired from
the navy after thirty years of honor
able service as chief gunner's mate
and one of the best known local ex-
sailors about Bremerton, is contem-
plating becoming a member of a par
ty, now being organized in Seattle,
which intends sailing for Alaska to
salvage and regain the lost wealth
of the wrecked steamer Islander"
This steamer is reputed to have
gone to the bottom with three mil
lion dollars worth of gold in leather
and canvas sacks lying in her strong
room. Dick was asked to join the
expedition some time ago. He has
very modestly now come forth with
his present statement to navy yard
workmen:
"The islander struck an iceberg
off the coast of Alaska on August
ID, 1901. The terrific force of the
impact caused her to sink in very
short time. Seventy lives were lost.
She lies in about 365 feet of water.
1t is believed that passengers who
lost their lives on, this vessel, had
much gold stored in their baggage"
Dicks correct age is 6f and he
is still going strong. He says: "a
man is never too old to work" The
old master of navy divers is in dead
earnest about the trip. If the ar
rangements are not completed by this
summer his party will leave during
the summer of 1888.
Turpin, gentleman navy hero, was
one of the very few colored chief
petty officers in the navy.
His life has been one long drawn
out series of adventures and thrills.

NEW YORK. 49, For exactly the
same reasons that the President Of

Spingarn, and others. endorsed the
separate officers training camp at
Des Moines in 1917, the National
Medical Association endorses and
urges the construction of an addi-
tional Veterans hospital unit to be
located in the South under complete
Negro personnel"
With the above statement. made
last Wednesday, DR.. Peter Marshall
Murray, president Of the National
Medical Association, answers a press

that Certain Negroes advocating a

not say that a separate hospital
should be built in the North for these
northern veterans. but might be mis-
understood to say that.

Few Breadlines
Found In South
By AMP. Writer

CHICAGO. - The North has a
greatly mistaken idea about the
south and the conditions of the
Negroes in that section, according to
Trezzvant w. Anderson, Associated
Negro Press representative, who has
just completed ,500-mile trip on a
tour of observation.
"Of course the picture as it has
been painted is bad enough, he says,
"and the general condition of Ne
groes scattered throughout the entire
South, is TRULY lamentable, but on
the whole the same is true of the
entire nation, and not alone the
South.
"0n the whole the Southern Ne
gro is in a better shape than some
of his Northern brothers, who claim
superior knowledge of economic con-
ditions.
"For example, in one family in
North Carolina the father was dead,
the daughter away in summer school,
the married son, living with his
mother, and the five children and
wife who made up his family, were
out of work.
The mother Of the son worked part
time, a few hours each day The
son had worked at a plant for over
fifteen years, and it suddenly closed
down throwing him out of work and
with five children to support. He
is now working for the city in which
he lives, for the princely sum Of
fifty cents a day.
with five children and a wife to
support a sensible foresight enables
the entire family to eat plenty of
wholesome, nourishing food and veg
etables taken from the family back
yard garden, without having to pur-
chase groceries at all. Now compare
that to the long bread and soup lines
seen throughout the North.
No Bread Lines
"That little illustration is a com
mon one throughout the entire South,
and at the same time it serves to
show that the Southern Negro has
already diagnosed his case, and made
provision for the emergency which is
now upon him, and although his
pockets may not bulge with money,
and his business interest may not be
as extensive as the vaunted enter
prises of his northern brother, he
has no bread line-and no soup line.
And ne is living. There are fewer
cases of starvation in the South than
will ever be counted in the North"

Gold Star For Bravery

ATLANTA, Ga.-The gold star
for bravery was awarded Bill Brown,
Negro employee of Hartman's Cafe,
last Saturday in the assembly room
of the police station by Chief T. o.
Sturdivant. The award is the first
time the medal ever has been pre-
scented to anyone outside the police
department.
Brown was voted the star at the
last meeting of the police committee
for his bravery in trailing Wallace
Hughes, youthful bandit, who shot
and killed G. c. Coon, meat sales
man, and w. d. Hamilton, night
manager Of the cafe, in an attempt
to escape from the cafe after
snatching a SIS bill from the register.

Since joining the navy over DC years
ago, he has been in every form of sea
disaster known to mankind. Numer-
Gus medals have been pinned on him
for saving lives of his shipmates and
for bravery under fire.
He is the only navy man, as far
as popularity known, who has been
blown up on two vessels and has
come out alive and whole. He was
a member of the crew of the U. S. S.
Maine when she was blown up in
Havana harbor during the night of
February Is, 1898. Dick was also
a member of the gunboat "Benning-
ton" when she was blown up in July
of 1905.

Dick Turpin was in the ships CON-
pany of the Yosemite" when she
was lost off Guam in 1899. During
the late World War, he was serving

in the English Channel.
Later, while diving for sunken YES
sells at Brest, France, he remained
below the surface to help another
diver who had fouled his lines. He
finally became exhausted and had to
be brought to the surface.
Chief Gunner's Mate Turpin will
long be remembered as a navy man
who always did his work well, rislking
his life many times in the execution
of his duty. His modest and quiet
dignity have stamped him as a shin
ing example for the generations to
come. His brave deeds in action
have shown proof that the race of
men from which Dick springs are
red-blooded and brave men.

Father Divine God
N. Y. Cult Leader
Released 0 n Bail

MINEOLA, L. l. = Father Divine,
religious cult leader, convicted of
maintaining a public nuisance at the
cult headquarters in Sayville, Long
Island, was freed Saturday from Say
vile jail where he had begun to
serve a 1-year sentence, on $4,000
bail pending appeal.
Supreme Court Justice Burt Jay
humphrey, in Brooklyn, granted Di-
vine certificate of reasonable doubt
on the grounds that the District At
torney had been allowed to insinuate
without proving that insane persons
were harbored in Heaven, the head
quarters of the cult.
Considerable notoriety has been
attached to the cult since it was
made public that several wealthy
white people had accepted the leader
ship of Father Divine and had be-
come members of the cult, and were
frequent visitors to the cult head
quarter in Sayville, exclusive white
Long Island suburb. The charges of
maintaining public nuisance were
filed shortly after although the Di-
vine Headquarters had been in Say
vile for Is years.
The release of Divine from jail
follows quickly upon the news of the
death of the trial judge, Justice Lew
is J. Smith, who on June 4, disre-
garded the Recommendation of the
convicting jury and in stern in
dictment against the leader, SEN
fenced him to one year in jail and
$500 fine, the maximum sentence for
disorderly conduct. Four days later
Justice Smith died of heart attack
shortly after he retired for the even

Divine, in an interview with q
member of the press a few days be-
fore his release was ordered, stated
that he would not be in jail long
but would be freed 'when the tins
came" Leaders of the cult state
that Divine had also told them to
have faith, as their enemies would be
taken care of by the powers of good
