YOUTH EXTRADITED TO
FLORIDA ON FLIMSY
EVIDENCE

NEW YORK, February (CNA)-
In a decision characterized by a
Legal Aid Society attorney as zone
of the greatest injustices I've ever
seen," Justice Levy Of the New
York Supreme Court last week or
dered extradition to Florida and a
lynch trial of 39-year-old Fred
erick Goldwire on dubious identifi-
cation. .-...
Goldwire is charged with COM
hitting a murder in Florida in
1925. His mother and several other
witnesses testified that he was in
Philadelphia on the day of the
murder and had been living in that
city for several years prior to the
crime.
Goldwire himself testified he left
Florida in 1920. Charlie Cooner,
of &c West 10th St., this city, and
a former resident of Philadelphia,
testified that Goldwire was work
ing on the Broad Street, Philadel-
phia, subway construction at the
time of the crime. Alphonse Jen-
kins, 149 West 131st St., also testi-
fed that he knew Goldwire in
Philadelphia in 1926.
In addition, it was brought out
that, following fight with another
youth, Goldwire had been placed
on probation in Philadelphia and
was reporting regularly to Proba-
ton Officer Jones at the time
Florida officials claim he was in
that state.
Extradition Of Goldwire was re-
quested by the sheriff of Jackson
vile, Fla, on a warrant calling for
the arrest of one David Simmons
for murder. Flanders, a witness
brought up from Jacksonville by the
ofay sheriff, identified" Goldwire
in court, although he had previous
ly told Jenkins, a defense witness,
that he had never seen the youth
before in his life. "But," he had
added, 81 have to continue living in
Florida with the white folk" The
Jacksonville sheriff was uncertain
whether it was a man or woman
who had been murdered.
Goldwire was defended by At
torney Tighe of the Legal Aid So
ciety. The youth was whisked off
to Florida Immediately after JUS
tice Levy's outrageous decision.

Randolph Sets Forth Purpose

In a ringing address, he was too

A. Phillip Randolph, president of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, set forth the reasons for
the call and gave a clear-cut
resume of desperate situations
overcome in the past and of their
increasing virulence and the abso-

The Fascist invaders are said to
have suffered heavily in both en-
gagements. Heavy losses by the
defenders were also admitted by
the government.
The two Ethiopian victories
have been the signal for driving
offensive against both TANKS of
General Rodolfo Graziani's Fascist
army. Graziani's left flank in
Southeast Ethiopia was defeated
in a sharp engagement with de-
tense forces near Wujilli, south
west of Noghelli. The Italian
troops were driven back to the
Parma River valley.
At the same time it was reported
that Ethiopian troops are advanc-
ing toward Tuludimptu, south of
Sasa Baneh, in the southeastern
war zone, after having defeated
the Fascists at Kurait, important
Southern center.
Battle Raging Around Makale
In the northern war zone, a
major engagement is raging be-
tween Ethiopian and Italian forces
near Hauzien, north of -Makale,
Italian advance point on the north
ern front, with the Philippians
pressing their attempt to cut off
Makale, according to reports
reaching the capital. -
Military observers declared the
reports indicated Italian troops
have not succeeded in dislodging
the Ethiopian forces which have
penetrated Italian lines around
Makale and several times cut
Italian communication lines be-
tween Makale and Adigrat.
Hauzien is about fifty miles
north of Makale. Victory for the
Philippians would probably be the
signal for a concerted attack on
Makale by large Ethiopian forces
in the vicinity of the key point,
it was pointed out.
Advance Halted, Fascists Digging
In
Fighting on the northern front
is more and more taking on the
character of trench warfare, with
the Italians digging in and appar-
emily giving up their grandiose
scheme for a smashing, rapid ad-
vance on the capital.
Two factors have determined
the Italian change of tactics: the
heroic resistance of the Ethiopian
armies and the approach of the
rainy season.

COMMENT
By w. M. Smith

triguing as ever; just as big, just
as dirty; and do the Chicago people
love it, even those who are just one
step removed from starvation.
It has been my good fortune to
meet many interesting people. And
I won't hold it against them if the
editor of small town paper makes
no permanent dent on their mem
DRY.
There is John P. Davis, the dy-
manic front of the great national
congress. was presented to him
several times and I doubt if he
would know me on the street. But
that does not belle the fact that he
is an interesting personality, a dy-
manic speaker; a we'll rounded
executive. If the congress goes
over, as I believe it will, Davis will
be chiefly responsible and his repu-
tation will grow accordingly. But
I don't care for men to whom I
must be frequently introduced.
One of the young men who i'm
pressed me most by his undoubted
cleverness and suavity and the ease
with which he handled difficult sit
uations was Arthur H. Fauset of
Philadelphia. His career will bear
watching. He was chairman of the
important resolutions committee.
was able to renew acquaintance
with Richard B. Moore who has
made several visits to Minneapolis.
Moore has the merit of sincerity
coupled with the faculty of quick
and accurate thinking.
Two men of the ministry stuck
out in the convention, one young
Archibal Carey, affable and charm
ing speaker, holding the high re-
gard of those with whom he as
sociates day after day. And that,
believe me, is some recommends
ton. The other is young also, the
pastor of an important New York
church. He set the convention on
fire with his attack on the church
and its ministry. Incidentally he
will have some explaining to do to
his amen corner when he gets
home. And incidentally again he
raised collection of several hun
dred dollars. This makes him
"tops" with the congress.
Angelo Herndon spoke at the
Congress. He must have thought
he was doomed to serve that twen-
ty year sentence and would never
get chance to speak again. But
Herndon got a great hand, at that.
One of the really pleasant con-
facts I made outside the conven-
ton walls was with the members
of the South Center Recreation
Club, where Mrs. Julia Cisny Will
son, a long time Minneapolis
friend and an active member of
the club, had invited me to talk to
the women. Of course I found all
kinds of fault which they took like
majors, invited me to come back
and even urged me to move to
Chicago!
I stopped on the street several
times to introduce myself to men
I had never seen before. I got a
wonderful kick out of their reac-
tions. They were uniformly cour-
teous and expressed a surprising
interest in the things being dis
cussed in Chicago in their inter-
est. I believe much Of good would
come from friendly discourse with
men of apparent lowly degree. I
say apparent for one of these men
is an embalmer and as fitted to
make as good citizen as I could
ever hope to be.
A new and rather delightful ex-
perience was riding in taxi cabs
at Is cents a ride. They are
driven by colored men, pick up
anybody en- route, who pay no
more attention to you than if you
were a goat. Not so much in fact.

CRUDE TENTS ARE
BEST FOR SCHOOLS.
LAPLANDERS FIND

Abisko, Sweden-Lapland, In the
north OF Europe, Is one OF the few
places In the world where school
houses can be built too well. The
Lapp school is merely tent like
shed with birch branches on the
floor for beds, an open hearth and
the crudest fittings.
Years ago when better school
houses were tried, 1t was discovered
that when Lapp children had to
sleep In beds, take baths and eat
fresh vegetables, they caught colds
that usually developed into pneu-
monia. Officials therefore wisely
provided that schools here should be
built as nearly like the average Lapp
home as possible.
Education In Lapland Is wan.
dering affair. The people depend on
their herds of reindeer for n living,
and when these make their mgra-
lions, the family must q ickly pack
Its belongings and follow dutifully
behind. Teacher and school must do
the same thing, for Sweden takes
good care to see that the Iapps re
celve an education.
In summer, however, the Lapps
have comparatively easy time OF
1t. Then they settle down by the
shores OF lakes or on mountain
slopes, and there 1t is that visitors

This Fact Is one OF tire reasons why
