sent and they guarded the county jail
where Clark was held with strict or
ders to prevent his being taken by
another mob.
Not since 1884 has Tuscaloosa coun-
ty witnessed such lawless mob viol-
ence and lynching.
The three Negroe had been arrest
ed and charged with tn rape and
murder of a z1-year-old Vaudine
Maddox whose body was found in a
lonely patch Of woods in rural Tus-
caloosa county in June,
The white woman is said to have
left her home on June II to visit a
sick friend less than a mile away.
Two days later her sisters, Gladys,
10 and ODDS. 10, found her mutilated
body in a ravine 100 yards from the
road on which she had last been seen.
Arrest Pippen
June 16 Dan Pippen, Jr., was ar
rested in connection with the case
although no evidence has yet been
found which linked him with the
death of the woman.
The day following A. T. Harden
was arrested, also on slim evidence
Clark was arrested June % wher
officers said they found him sleeping
under a bridge near the scene of the
crime. Clark protested that he was
merely doing under the bridge anC
did not know that a crime had beer
committed in the neighborhood.
All three were charged with muir.
der in the first degree and indict
ments were returned against then
by the grand jury.
On June 81 a mob collected at thu
jail but dispersed when informed
that the men had been taken to Biz
mingham for safe keeping.
On July go, on the eve of the dat
set for the trial, Judge Foster nam
ed John d. Mcqueen, Fleetwood Ric,
and Rueben Wright to assist in hand
ling the defense. All these attorney
are local white men.
Troops for Lawyers
At this juncture three lawyers EN-
ployed by the International Labo
Defense appeared in behalf of tn
accused Negroes.
Judge Foster ruled that becaus
their presence inflamed public sen
timent that they should not be per
mitted to appear for the defense
Pippen's father, who was being he'll
as a material witness, was advise
that the T. L D. lawyers would d
his sons case more harm than good
The father then told the Judge tina
the J. L D. lawyers would not rep
resent his son.
National guard troops had to h
summoned to escort the three whit
L d. D lawyers out Of town Tw
of them, Irving Schawb and Ale,
Taub were from New York The thir,
was Frank Irwin of Birmingham.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.-Martia law
holds sway in this town following the
lynching of two Negroes near here
late Saturday night by an armed
mob, on the Bessemer- Tuscaloosa
highway, which had seized three Ne
groes from armed deputy sheriffs
who were transporting the prisoners to
Birmingham for "safe keeping"
The two lynch victims were mere
boys. Dan Pippen, Jr., was IS and A
I. Harden, 16 The one of the trio
who escape was Elmore "Honey'
Clark, %, who is thought to have
fought his way free from the mol
which executed the two boys.
The bodies of Pippen, Jr., and Har
den were found near the highway il
a desolate neighborhood near Besse
mer a few hours after they had beer
seized from the officers.
Each body had been riddled will
bullets from guns of various calibres
There were IS wounds in the body Of
Pippen and Is in that Of Harden.
Clark Surrenders
Clark was found Tuesday after ;
frenzied search by officers since Sun
day failed to locate him. He is said t.
have given himself up to police off
GERS whom he believed would not de.
liver him to another mob. He wa:
only slightly wounded.

show that Dan Pippen, Jr., the first
Negro arrested for the murder, was
working all day in the field of Will
lie Unison oil the day of the murder.
When Dan Pippin, Sr., told the off
GERS that his son had worked with
him all day, the elder Pippin was
jailed and held for constructing in
vestigation of the crime" The arrest
of young Pippen was made after a
white man who owed him some mon
ey said he saw the boy near the
scene of the crime. Unison was jailed
but On what charge no one could find
out.
All five were indicted by a grand
jury.
A. I. Harden was arrested be
cause a rumor spread that he had
seen Pippin commit the crime, but
Harden denied stoutly that he had
ever said or even thought such a
thing.
Elmore Honey" Clark, the third
of the accused Negroes. was arrest
ed because he was found doing un-
der a bridge neal the scenes of the
crime several days after its commits
sion.
There was no actual evidence to
connect any of the trio with the
crime.
The state militia was called and
tbs I L. D. lawyers were escorted
out of town. The sheriff refused to
be responsible for their lives follow
ing threats, however, not withstand
ing the fact that a mob stormed the
Jail in search of the boys and were
told that the prisoners had been sent
to Birmingham, three deputy sher-
ifs in an automobile undertook to
protect" them without the aid of
the troops and the lynching Of two
resulted 10 miles from Bessemer.
The third prisoner was shot. Fifteen
bullets were found in the body of
Pippen, Jr. The three deputy sheriffs
failed to fire one shot in the defense
of their prisoners. The leader Of the
mob reached into the police auto and
yanked the boys out while the Off
GERS. stood idly by and made no move.
Tuscaloosa is the seat of the Uni
versity Of Alabama. Two Negroes
are dead, three fear for their lives
because Of Alabama's Indifference to
its Negro citizens.

URGES STATE
LIQUOR SALE

SACRAMENTO, Nov. %. U.P) -
Suggestions that the liquor control
act be amended to give the state
exclusive right to sell hard Ii
uuor" were before the state board OF
equalization today following a
meeting with representatives of the
California League of municipalities
who sought permission for local re-
view of applications for licenses.
Under the suggested amendment,
advocated by Archer Boden, san
jose city attorney and Harold E.
Pomeroy, San Francisco, represent
ing the league, sale of beer and wine
would be regulated but would not
be part of the states liquor mon
opoly.
In the issuance of licenses Tor
sale of liquor after repeal becomes
effective, Boden asked the board to
notify local authorities of the ap-
plications in order to permit pro-
tests. Local governments could best
supply the state with information
concerning the moral character OF
the applicants, he said, and also
would be enabled under such plan
to protect their zoning ordinances

LOCAL RELIEF
PLAN ADOPTED
Last Years System OF Monthly
Contributions From Employed
To Be Followed.

Plans for one concerted drive for
relief funds, which will be the only
campaign for relief funds put on in
this city this season were made at q
meeting held at the city hall last
night, with representatives from
service clubs, civic and fraternal
organizations present. First distrl-
button of pledge cards will be made
on Friday of this week, under the
leadership of Walter B. HavekorSt,
chairman.
Following the plan which proved
successful last year, all employed
persons will be asked to contribute
81 EACH monthly, for period OF
six months.
What is the fund for?" - the
question which is uppermost in ev-
eryone's mind, is answered by the
brief pharse: for local relief.
Mobilization for Human Needs,
is the title used by President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. in a signed state
ment, specifying the work to be car
ried on locally. Care of the aged,
service to demoralized families, hos
pitalization of the needy sick, home
nursing, settlements, guidance OF
youth. care of children without a
chance-these and hundreds OF
other services are in the hands OF
your local welfare organization
Carrying out the Presidents pro-
gram, the Ell Centro Emergency
Relief committee, which has taken
the place of the Central Relief
board of last year in the new set
up, will coordinate local aid.
Cooperating with the new set
up, the Salvation Army has come
into the program as an emergency
relief shelter, and has pledged itself
to coordinate its work closely with
that of the local committee. No sep
arate drive for funds will be made
by them, their budget being han
died out of the funds turned over
to the Emergency Relief committee.
This is a continuation of last year S
arrangement, and insureS the func-
tioning of the Salvation Army work
here which might otherwise have to
be given up due to financial pres
sure.
Need for relief in Ell Centre Is
really greater than last winter, 1t
was pointed out at the meeting
Many families who have been able
to stretch meager resources over
periods of unemployment are nov
without financial resources. Special
aid is needed for many children who
are underWeight as a result OF cur
tailed budgets in their homes. A
particular campaign to correct THIS
condition will be part Of the gen.
eral program.
Organizations participating in last
nights meeting included, in addi-
ton 90 Emergency Relief commit
tee members, the Lions club, XII
wants club, Rotary club, Junior
chamber of commerce, chamber Of
commerce, American Legion ana
fire department, all of whose men,
bers will assist in the distribution
of pledge cards.

CONFERENCE
PLANNED To
HALT STRIKE
Shippers, Growers And Workers
To Discuss Situation At Meet
ing This Afternoon.
NO VIOLENCE REPORTED
Four Under Arrest For Picket
ing Near Calipatria But All
Roads Remain Open.

While the tension in the north
end strike area has lessened con-
siderably and no violence or dis
turbapces have been reported by
county peace officers, the situation
is far from being entirely Satisfac-
tory, it was learned this morning.
C. E. Stephens, 10; j. E. Sanders,
%, Claude Lee, 20, and J. D. San
ders, 38, alleged agitators and strike
leaders who recently came to I'm
perial Valley from the San Joa-
quin section, were arrested this
morning by Deputies Elliott and
McCaslin while picketing fields
near Calipatria. They were brought
to the county Jail where a checkup
on them will be made by the sher-
ifs office.
1t was learned at the county Jail
today that special deputies are to
be sworn in to watch the highways
and fields in the threatened areas
of the county to prevent any fur
ther spread of the strike or of pick
citing operations if possible.
In the meantime, it was also
learned, a truce exists in the area
Immediately surrounding Brawley.
Strikers are not picketing the roads
or fields nor are they preventing
workers from going back to werk
should these men so desire. From
reliable source it was further
learned that agitators are still 60
ing about among the Mexicans ur-
ging them not TO work.
The greater part Of the workers
who live in BraWley have not re-
turned TO work but those living on
ranches are again tending to the
harvesting OF the peas and other
crops.
This afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock,
committees representing the grow
ers, shippers and workers met at
the Planters hotel, Brawley, in an
endeavor to iron out their difficul
ties by means of arbitration.
The men who were arrested in
Brawley at the outbreak of the
strike movement are still being held
in the Brawley city Jail pending &C
ton by county authorities.

FILM ACTOR
QUITS MEXICO
BY JACQUES D'ARMAND
United Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Nov. %. - Lee
Tracy, American motion picture
actor who virtually was expelled
from Mexico on the charge that he
had offended public morals, was
missing today SO far as the capital
was concerned.
Tracy, freed from charges through
the intervention of Joseph Daniels,
American ambassador, apparently
left here yesterday and was under
stood to have taken an airplane for
El Paso, Texas, where he was due
in the afternoon.
Members of the film company
with which Tracy came to Mexico
expressed some anxiety for his safe
ty but he was assumed to be all
right.
The border towns of Juarez, Eagle
Pass and MatamoraS reported he
had not been seen, and there had
been no sign of him at Torreon,
the most important city on the
Mexico City-El Paso route.
Heraclio Rodriguez, district attor-
ney, denied rumors that orders had
been issued for Tracy's rearrest at
the border, though he said that in
his opinion Tracy should have been
punished for insulting Mexicans.
The motion picture actor, clad
only in a blanket which subsequent
ly slipped from his body, appeared
on a balcony of the leading Mexico
City hotel during parade celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the revolt
against Porforio Diaz, polio G
charged, and shouted insults at the
crack cadet corps from Chapultepec
academy, the Mexican West Point,
who were passing.
/ Ambassador Daniels was under
stood to have effected Tracy's dis
missal from the country after pa
pers had been prepared for his
commitment to prison. His pass
port was held but special permiS-
sion was given him to move with
out it. 1t was reported that the
film company which employed him
would pay fine of 1000 pesos
$500.
Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 22. U.R)-
His expulsion from Mexico was all
the result of a misunderstanding
Lee Tracy, motion picture actor, de-
clared here today after the char
tered plane III which he flew from
Mexico City was landed at Juar-
ez and he walked across the In
ternational bridge a free man.

motion picture actor said. Il did
not insult Mexican soldiers"

HE|RES5 GETS
bic FORTUNE

SOMERVILLE, N. j., Nov. %. {U.P)
Doris Duke, often referred to as
Americas richest girl celebrated
her 21st birthday today and fell
heir to perhaps S100,000,000 of the
fabulous fortune left by her father,
the North Carolina tobacco mag
nate.
Tall, slender, and blonde, Miss
Duke is one of the least publicized
of American heiresses and her
reticence has led to fantastic re-
ports of her wealth. But the late
James B. Duke, devout Methodist
bequeathed tWo-thirds of his vast
estate to a charitable endowment
to which he had previously given
S80,000,000, 9eaving one-third to
his daughter.
Miss Duke, however, does not re-
ceive the entire one-third today.
She gets only one third of her
share. 1t may amount to as much
as $1O000,000 after taxes have been
deducted. She viii get another third
at the age of 25 and the remand
er when she is 30.
She chose to return to her child
hood home here to celebrate her
coming OF age. There will be a
party, but it will be without pomp.
AS for acquisition Of the money,
the evidence of change will be some
routine bookkeeping transactions
transferring funds from the estate
to her personal account.
The day means assumption OF
new responsibilities for the blonde
heiress. While the management of
her wide interests will be carried
on, as in the past, by financial
advisers, lawyers, and executives,
there will be certain decisions she
must make. She also becomes a
trustee of the Duke endowment,
created by her father, which ad-
ministers the bulk of the great
fortune.
