went directly TO the stage. As he
came in, the play was interrupted
by the applause of the audience in

Mitchell Lafnbasts Democrats
Gets Life in Prison as
White Woman Isn't
Certain of Identity

Raleigh, N. c., April II (ANP)-
Because Mrs. Sarah Lyles, white,
has since decided she is not posi-
tive that he is the right man, Char
les Smith will not die in the lethal
gas chamber, April both but in
stead must spend his life in prison,
Smith, charged with breaking in
to her room and trying TO attack
her, was convicted on the testimony
of Mrs. Lyles and her ID year old
son Clarence. His conviction and
sentence of death was appealed tc
the state supreme court and up
held. Immediately the woman sign
ed statement saying:
81 hereby respectfully request
that you do not allow Charles
Smith to die in the lethal gas cham
Der. This request is made because
since the trial, / have considered
the matter seriously and I believe
he should not be put to death
It is a possibility that there was q
mistake in the identification of my
assailant.'
The change in sentence was or
dered by Governor Hoey.

White Man Seeks Pot
of Gold Found By
Two Brothers

Chester, S. c., April II (ANP)
The pot Of gold coins amounting
to over $4,000 found recently near
Leeds, S. c., by Tobin Crank, col
ored farmer and his brother, has
been claimed by white man-Ed-
win A. Smith of Louisville, KY.
Samuel t. Weir, chief of police here
wrote Smith TO make a formal
claim for the money through his
attorney.
Crank and his brother were chop
ping wood in the back yard of the
home when Tobin's axe came in
contact with a hard object, which
upon investigation turned out to be
the treasure pot filled with gold
oins. The brothers took the money
to local bank which turned it owes
to the Federal Reserve depositor
it being generally understood here
that the money exchanged for bank
notes would be divided equally
among the seven members of the
Crank family. The Cranks were
conceded priority of ownership be-
cause the treasure was found on
the family's property.
Louisville Resident Smith asked
Chester authorities to "Give the
Darkies $500 each and send me the
gold by insured registered mail"
He claimed to have buried the
S6,624 in gold, while suffering from
amnesia. Friends here of the Crank
brothers do not believe such a plea
will have any standing in a court
of law, since amnesia means loss
of memory and if Smith was suf-
fering from amnesia how does he
know where he buried the money
if indeed, buried it at all?

of a dog.
"There is a st,e7." said DR.. Mo-
ton, (Which they tell of little col
ored boy in Suffolk, Va.
"The boy had u nongrel dog
which he had taught to do certain
tricks. THE doctors assembled will
forgive me for this-since l am not
referring to anybody here, nor
anyone who has gone tither.)
"This little boy, so the story goes
was accustomed to taking the dog
over to the business district and
have him do tricks for the amuse-
ment of the passers-by.
zone day a doctor came along
he was one of the leading physi-
clans of Suffolk-and watched the
little boy and hisdog going through
their routine. He said Tommy, I
have a good thoroughbred dog but
as yet / have been unable to make
him do all sorts of tricks-besides,
imagine you pick up little money
at it too
The boy replied, yes, do pick
up a little money during the day,
ometimes as much as three dollars.
Well, how do you do it, the doctor
inquired.
We'll Doc, you see its like this
said Tommy. In order to teach a
dog tricks you have got to have
more sense than the dog has,

of 1000 each year, with only $500
marriages, proving that practical
ly 2 out of every 3 marriages de-
veloped into broken homes. This
Judge Rhoades said "is the con-
tributing factor in large sense
to the problem of delinquency am
ong the Negro. However, he stat
ed that such condition is no great
er among the Negro than that Of
any other group.
DR.. Laurence Fl. RroTn, head Of

Community Problem stressed up

thus giving him the opportunity to

washington, April 1S (ANP).
II was an angry Arthur Mitchell

s+,ode from the House Wednesday
.fter the chamber declined, on a
257 to 122 vote, to debate MS
...weak' anti-lynching bill and paVeo
+bt urav for action this week on the
stronger measure intoduced by
James Gavagan, Tammany Demo
crat representing Harlem Dis
trict.
So angry was the Chicagoan over
the snub to his proposed legisla-
tion and the deception" that had
been practiced on him that when
J. Burwood DAILY, Democratic con-
gressman from Pennsylvania, ap-
preached refused to talk with him
al thought you were gentle
man," remarked DAILY.
"You can go to hell replied Nit
chell.
Afterward he blamed Republi-
can and misguided Democrats
for his defeat, declaring:
Resentment of the Republicans
at a speech I made in June, 1886,
has been cherished ever since, and
found expression in their decision
to vote against my bill in body.
Democrats who have aided them
in this bill will regret it, I believe,
for no decision is likely by the Su-
preme Court on anti-lynching leg
islation for the next election, if
such legislation is passed now
Meanwhile the Republicans will
claim credit and use it to swing
colored votes to that party"
However, the representative
said he would work "wholehearted-
ly'' for the Gavagan bill and is sure
it will pass the house although
he has grave doubts of its constit-
utionality.
The Gavagan bill has the sup
port of the NAACP and Northern
congressman who fought Mitchell s
measure because it was too weak
to be effective.
