Alaska Murder Mystery
 Is Believed s o v d

That the "Blueberry Tommy" case has been solved after the expiration of 19 years was the belief of New York police fol. lowing the arrest of Thomas D. Johnson and resultant partial Identification of him as the man accused of murdering three persons in cold blood on the Koyokuk River back in 1915, says a press statement from the Alaska Delegates office.
 Johnacn was arrested in New York May 25, charged with disorderly conduct and solicit l ing aims. A resemblance in names and reference to a pho- tograph of the hunted man led to the Department of Justice 1 being called into the case. Fingerprints were not used, contrary lto newspaper reports, since ID fingerprints were on file of "Blueberry Tommy" or as he also was known, "The Blueberry Kid"
 Johnson was indicted in Fair banks for the crime, one of the mc-t cold-blooded in Alaska annals. With Marie Schmidt Frank Adams and John Holm berg, Johnson was travelling down the Koyokuk from Wise. man in the launch Seal Pup Holmberg had with him about S10,000 in gold dust.
 The party never arrived al their destination. Subsequent ly Johnson was seen ana SUI later human bones were founC at camp site on the KoyI0kuk according to Justice Depart ment records. Indictment o. "The Bluebarry Kid" followed but he vanished utterly and nj trace of him was found unti the present. Of course, thu Department of Justice insists there still may be a mistake il identity. It is planned to brini witnesses from the NIorthwes and Alaska to New York in al attempt to identify Johnson.

France Makes Clear
Stand On Color Line

"Ici il ny a pas de ligne de couleur'
"There is no color line here"
The American Embassy in Paris
has recently posted sign in his
lobby warning all tourists from the
United States in crisp, terse words:
"No color line in France" This step
is taken presumably to relieve the
chancellery of the Embassy from the
awkward position of explaining to
prejudiced Americans, unfamiliar
with French traditions that they need
not seek protection from the officials
thereof should they disregard the
warning. The warning of the ages:
"Do as Romans do when in Rome, "
had to be supplemented with almost
caustic terms that should jar the in
telligence of normal people. For,
anyone familiar with French history
ought not to be ignorant of the poll
cy and practice of that civilization.
The French government and it's peo-
pie will not tolerate grosteque exhib-
bition of Americanism. Their sensi-
bilities and culture simply will not
brook transgression of their national
ethics.

The committee on social relations
of the Presbyterian synod of Ala
bama, meeting here recently, an
nounced that it could not fail to see
the Negro has an equal right to par
ticipate in government.
"Basing our argument" the an
nouncement read, "either on theory
of the American government or on
the principle of the golden rule, or
both, we cannot fail to see that the
Negro has right equal to that OF
any good citizen to adequate educa-
tional facilities, to protection from
barbaric horrors of the mob, to par
ticipate in the further benefits and
responsibilities of governments, and
to the enjoyment of the privileges

DECLARES MIXED MOB CAME TO

HE CANNOT IDENTIFY WHITE
LYNCHERS

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 19.-(Special to
The Herald)- Darian, Ga, a Ne
gro by the name of Curtis James was
lynched, according to Sheriff A. S.
Poppell, by two Negroes and twelve
white men.
This Negro had been indicted for
bootlegging turpentine in Jackson
vile and had been acquitted by the
Superior Court of Mcintosh County.
At the trial he implicated some white
men whom he claimed were the ring
leaders in the turpentine racket.
The mob is alleged to have gone
to his house and overrowered him
while both he and his wife pleaded
that he be lynched at home so that
he might have a decent burial. Ac-
cording to Sheriff Poppell, one Ne
gro of the mob replied to the pleas
of the James household that mo un-
dertaker will get this body"

Mich. Student Group
Fights Barring
OF Ward

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 19.-De-
manding that Willis Ward, crack Ne
gro athlete, be in the lineup when
Michigan University's football team
meet Georgia School of Technology
on October 20, group of students
and professors at the University of
Michigan is organizing widespread
protest against the action of the Uni
yersity in barring Ward from that
game. The protesting group is or
ganized and led by the University's
branch of the National Students Lea
que.
Ward rated second place in the
1888 All-American Football Team Sc
lected by the country's outstanding
football coaches. Last year, Michi-
gan lost the Big Ten title because
Ward sprained a tendon and could
not play. A Detroit sports writer
bewailing Michigan's defeat, COM
mented: Gas Ward goes, so goe:
Michigan" Football is only one OF
the sports in which Ward excels. II
the 1933-34 track and field season
Ward annexed the outdoor century
60-yard dash, low hurdles, broad anc
high jump championships.
Taking part in intercollegiate ath
letics is not duty or a right, bu
privilege-therefore Negroes art
not entitled to places on collegt
teams!
This is the gist of an amazingly
frank letter received last week from
the athletic department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, by Lou Cody
sports editor of the Negro Liberator
and Harry Haywood, general secre
tary Of the League Of Struggle fol
Negro Rights. The letter is in an
swer to one written recently to the
University, protesting the barring Of
Ward from the University's football
team in the game scheduled for DC

White House Attache
Gives Inside Facts On
DePriest- Hoover Affair

Washington, Oct. 19.-The true
story behind the entertainment of
Mrs. Oscar DePriest by ex-President
Hoover at the White House here sew
eral years ago, is told officially for
the first time in book titled "Forty-
two Years in the White House"
written by Irwin H. (Ike) Hoover
and published this week. Says
Mr.. Hoover of the incident:
Gall the criticism of the reception
Of Mrs. DePriest, the wife of the
colored representative from Illinois
was quite unnecessary. Mrs. Hoover
had decided to invite all the Congress
sional ladies to a series of teas and
the families OF the different Senators
and members of the House were al
lotted to four groups and invited &C.
cordingly, the cabinet ladies being
asked to all parties. The name of
Mrs. DePriest was put aside for fu-
ture consideration when these groups
were made up. Everyone concerned
realized that it was an unusual stu
alton. Should Mrs. DePriest be in
cluded? The decision was postpon-
ed, for there was no precedent to go
by.
'Thus the four parties to Congress
sional ladies came and went and Mrs.
DePriest was invited to none Of
them.
"In the meantime the discussion
as to what to do continued. The
social secretary who had charge of
these affairs took the position that
she must be invited, since the par
ties were of official nature. Prece-
dents were sought, but none were
found which could be applied. The
nearest approach seemed to be the
Booker Washington affair in the
Roosevelt administration. ! was ask
ed if knew of any such entertain
ing since, but 1 did not. The records
were searched for parallel cases
among members of the diplomatic
corps from the so-called colored re-
publics Of South America. The Off
cial angle was referred to the exc
cutive offices, one of the Presidents
secret1ries bordering over it for
days End days. Mrs. Hoover seemed
to hi a1 open mind and was will
ing to be guided by whatever course
was mapped out for her. However,
wher it was at last decided in the
