Colored Widow Of German
Wins Battle for Estate

LOS Notwithstanding that she
had furnished the money which Great
ed the large estate left by her white
husband, Mrs Alice Brown Wenzlow,
aged colored woman, has won Judge
ment in her suit against the estate
left by her white mate.
In the early '90s the woman arrived
in Los Angeles with $4,000 received
in insurance money from the policy
Of a relative who had died.
Soon she had married a black
smith named Brown. Their married
life did not run smoothly because Of
the attentions Of a German named
Wenzlow, who was a frequent visitor
At their home.
Before long Mrs. Brown and her
husband separated, and she left Los
Angeles with Wenzlow.
According to local court records,
the pair filed an agreement in 1905
in which Wenzlow acknowledged the
receipt Of $500 with which to pur-
chase a saloon in Fresno. That ven
ture was successful, and he sold it
within a year at a handsome profit.
Returning here, Wenzlow bought a
rooming house which also made mon
ey. Then the couple went to Seattle,
Washington, where they were mar
Ill as Mrs Browns husband had
recently died, leaving her free.
Returning to Los Angeles they
were pioneer settlers in Watts and
bought much property there, also
opening a secondhand furniture shop.
In 1880 Wenzlow tried to send
Mrs Wenzlow to an insane asylum.
This effort failed, but he was sue
cessful in sending her to an old folks
home near Oakland, where he visited
her frequently.
In October, 1882, while visiting in
Santa Monica, he died suddenly.
His will disclosed that he had left
his property to relatives in Germany.
Mrs Wenzlow secured a lawyer
who showed that the estate was
created through the use Of her 0
and she won judgement.

The Professor under whom Wood
worked after 5 years service was ask

due in a large measure to the politi-

citizenship built up by Mr. Nolle
Smith, who has ~engraciated himself
into the confidence, and respect Of
the better element Of the citizens Of
Honolulu. This coupled with Woods
collegiate preparedness for the work,
and he himself also being a very fine
type of character may mean a great
future for him
Another Encouraging feature about
this matter is, that Wood has a splen-

on Essentials in Racial DEVELOPMENT

Mr. Kerns continued, TN spite of

knowledge is still basic in mans eff
forts to rise in the scale of human
endeavor Competition is growing
keener in every walk Of life and in
many vocations the machine is be-
coming the master Of man He con-
tinued, "Man of the more mental Jobs

women were considered by Negroes
as NEGRO jobs" the depression has
forced various white groups to com

Negroes to greater efficiency and in
many instances, he has gained ambi-

ago he had little hopes Of attaining"
Today Negro radio operators, radio

of a mans skin is no barrier to sue

OF NEGROES and HIRING OF

MANY VIOLATIONS OF NRA
CODES REPORTED I'm SOUTH

NEW YORK - Negro labor in
many sections of the South Is being
tricked out of the benefits Of the
National Recovery Act according to
information received daily by the
National Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People.
The most widespread practice il
the firing Of Negroes and the hiring
Of whites in their places because "the
minimum wage is too much money
for Negroes"
Memphis business men are firing
Negroes on a wholesale scale, accord
ing to the Memphis branch Of the
N. A A. @. r., holding that $14

In certain sections Of North Car

industries, the minimum wages are

In n county in Georgia, whose

Giving so cents a day on public work
were fired when the MIA agreement
specified their minimum wage should
be 80 cents an hour. Negroes in this
county are being reemployed as farm
labor, which is outside the NRA re
gulation, at 35 to rs cents a day, it is
reported Nevertheless, the whites III
the county expect a return Of pros
perity despite the lack Of purchasing
power among nearly half the popu-
lation Of the county
In Birmingham, Ala, 1000 retail
grocers have drawn up a code which
provides a minimum wage Of SIS a
week for "Negro porters and delivery
boys"
In Arkansas white farmers are re-
ported as sending their SON to the
Civilian Conservation camps where
they receive $50 a month and hiring
Negroes to do the farm WORK at $40
and SIS a month.
At Washington, industrial leaders
continue to submit codes for approval
which either state plainly a lower
wage for Negroes or hide it under a
North and South wag scale.
At the hearing on the soft coal
mining agreement a basic wage scale
Of $4 a day in the South and SIS a day
in the North was proposed. John T..
Lewis, mine union president. urged
one scale for all.
Meanwhile no provision has been
made for much needed improvement
in the fortunes Of domestic workers.
Members of the Labor Advisory
board are reported as being sympa-
thetic to the appointment Of a Negro
member and such an appointment is
being considered by NRA executives,
but no action has been taken to date.
