"unwarranted delays"

writ Of error which the court later
invalidated as "improvidently
awarded"

court, to prepare the record Of the
case for presentation to the ma
tional high tribunal with a petit
ton for q writ of certiorari.

Mrs. O'Neal received deep cut

Mrs. O'Neal received a deep cut
across he forehead and her COM
panion, who was pregnant, got a
crushing blow across the face and
many kicks to the body.
Police arrived, but made no ar
rests. They took the two women
to the park hospital, dressed their
injuries and sent them home.
A few days after the attack on
the two women, a white woman
was found beaten to death in her
room in a North Side hotel. Her
seven year old son described her
assailant as "huge Negro" On
the mirror of her dresser, the kill
er had scrawled with his victims
lipstick: "Black Legion. Came"
Negro leaders here believe the
murder is an attempt by the
Black Legion to incite lynch SEN
timent against the Negro people.
They point out that Southern Ku
Kluxers have been known to black
their faces with burnt cork when
committing crimes, thus serving
the double purpose of throwing
suspicion from themselves and in
citing against Negroes. The
theory that Mrs. Florence Thomp-
son Castle was killed by such a
"black face" is strengthened by
the fact that no one but her little
son saw a Negro on the premises
during the day the crime was
committed.

Negro Girls

CT1ICAGO-Black thugs beat up
two Negro women at Riverview, a
Chicago amusement park, last
week, when the two women re-
fused to surrender their seats to a
Southern white woman who didn't
want to ride with them. Six
white men attacked the two wo-
men and beat them severely while
a large crowd of whites looked on,
and park attendants did nothing
to stop the attack.
Lottie O'Neil and Naomi Grant,
young housewives, had taken seats
on a roller COASTER when the
white woman with two children
came up and demanded that they
give up their seats. They refused.
eff this was the South, we'd
take you out and hang you to a
tree and fill you full of lead" the
white woman said, shouting in
suits.
A little later as the two women
started to leave the park they
were accosted near an exit by the
white woman and her husband.
The white man said to them:
You've got your nerve, coming
here among all these white people.
Then he raised his voice in an in
citing speech to the whites round
him. Six white men jumped in and
started beating the two women.

Certain Texan Will Be

By the Associated Press.
Backers of Representative Rayburn,
Democrat, of Texas in the virulent
contest for the House majority leader
ship said today the Texan not only
was certain to be selected for the
position, but that he might be named
unanimously.
His campaign manager, Representa-
tive Vinson, Democrat, of Kentucky.
asserted:
I'VE now believe there is very
good chance that Mr.. Rayburn will be
named floor leader by acclamation." !"
He said that by the time House
Democrats hold their organization
caucaus early next month, Rsyburn's
strength should be so manifest that
his election might be unanimous.
Supporters of Representative O'Con-
nor, Democrat, of New York never
theless asserted they still were opti-
mistic over his chances in the race
so bitterly fought that Representative
Rankin, Democrat, Of Mississippi, one
Of the contestants, has proposed that
all the candidates withdraw in the
interest of party harmony and sup
port Representative Doughton. DEM
ocrat, Of North Carolina for the
leadership.
Vinson said Rayburn had pledges
from 81 to rs Democratic Representa-
tives in six States where O'Connor
had claimed strength.
Rayburn is certain. he said, of &c
out of 27 votes from Pennsylvania, IL
of IS from California, 4 of 5 from
Iowa, - of % from Ohio, 8 of 8 from
Louisiana and Of 2 from Kansas.
The Rayburn votes from those six
States, he said, are about two-fifths of
the total needed to elect him. A can
didate must receive a majority of the
votes cast in caucus. or 167, If all 333

Responsive and Versatile.
The next point to be appreciated
was the skillful manner In which the
orchestra was, at one moment, q pow
erful solo unit and, In the next, q
subsidiary to the piano soloist. In
both the overtures the orchestra was
virile, plant and expressive and, when
accompanying, subordinating itself to
Mr.. Bauer's ideas in helpful and artis-
tic fashion. Again, the nuances were
sharply defined and created under the
influence of feeling. crisp, warm and
vibrant. The unity Of intention and
the fine cooperation between Dr.
Kinder and his men were rewarded
by the enthusiastic outbursts Of ap-
plause they awakened in their
listeners.
Harold Bauer added another tri-
umph to the many to his credit with
his poetic playing of the Beethoven
Concerto" Mr.. Bauer Is a superb
