American movies, and greater pre-
cautions are taken here to prevent
crime, Mr.. Leiins observed. Such
apparatus as armored cars to carry

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Charges that

lived among his Congregation Of

The charges were made by Mrs.

YOUNG BRUCE
JAILED FOR
FAKE HOLD-UP

NEWARK, N. J.--lC) Eastern So
eiai business and professional cir
eles were stunned last Thursday as
Roscoe Gonklin Bruce, Jr., 30, tear
fuily confessed at police headquarters
that ne had arranged for the $4,000
holdup Of his Office as manager OF the
Richard 3. Harrison Apartments sat
ufday night to cover shortage in his
accounts.
Ihe report was first broadcast that
two colored men had entered Bruce's
office as he and his clerks were busy
tallying rents, and demanded the
money IN sight. Bruce is alleged to
have reported to police that $4,000
was taken. But Il was later revealed
that Bruea mad arranged tie hoidup,
and that the robbers took only 5000,
which had been conveniently exposed
for them. In reporting the So, 900
loss, Bruce made allowance for d
shortage in his accounts, which Ie
claims had been mounting steadi y
since last fall, but for which he was
not responsible.
The floldup was a routine matt L
until a colored policeman, Carlts n
Norris, discovered Willard Granny
&
and John Hayes spending money
freely. They had been drinking.
Questioned closely, the men admitted
the holdup plot, which implicated
young Bruce, and caused arrest.
Arrested with Bruce was Archie
Borras, who it is, claimed Bruce got
to secure the two gangsters.
Young Bruce, who studied at Har-
ward and later in France, understud-
led his father, who was manager Of
the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apart
ments in Harlem for nine years.
Bruce married Miss Bessie Humbles,
Of a prominent Virginia family.
Newark residents say Bruce got
the Harrison Apartments job, which
paid him $4,000 year, over many
local applicants, due, they believed,
to pull from his father. Now it
is feared the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company, which owns the
apartments, will replace Bruce with
white management. The company
does not accept colored insurance
risks.
Young Bruce was released on ST.
300 bail, it was reported

Atlanta. Ca, Apri. 6-Special--
Europeans have the greatest respect
for American resorreefulness and in
genuity, but few consider that Ameri-
ca has produced anything worthwhile
in the arts or in the humanitlps,
Pierre Lejins, Russian born student
from the University of Latvia, told
the students OF Morehouse and Spell
man in talks at the chapel exercises
Of these colleges Wednesday morn
ing. The only American art form
that is accepted by Europeans is
the Negro spiritual, he said. Mr. Le-
jins' talks on the subject What Eu-
rope Thinks of America were made
during the course Of his visit to the
Atlanta university system during a
trip through the South which has
been arranged by the international
House of Chicago. The visitor is a
graduate student in criminology at
the University If Chicago. Later in
the year he will leave for his home
in Riga, Latvia, to become a member
Of the faculty Of economics and law
Of the University Of Latvia.
Speaking as trained criminolo-
gist, who has visited penal instu-
tions and studied crime conditions in
Al states, MI. Leiins declared there
is no statistical basis for the state
ment that America has more crime
than Europe. IL is evident to him,
however, that crime in The United
States plays bigger part in affairs
than IL does ia Europe; there is more

MOB TORTURES
MEN, THEN BURN
THEM TO DEATH
Blow Torches Used On
Victims Accused Of
Numbering Grocer

DUCK HILL, Miss, April ID
two Negro youths were brutally
lynched yesterday by q savage Mis-
sissippi mob. The boys were accused
of numbering storekeeper In an
attempt at robbery.
Operating from q school bus, the
mob Of more than 800 white men
chained their victims to o tree while
they tortured them with fire.
The youths, were Roosevelt Tow
nes, 25 years old, and "Bootjack'
Mcdaniel, alias Hubbard, 26. They
were accused Of numbering George S.
Windhan, white operator Of q near
by crossroads grocery store, Decem-
Der 80.
The blow torch first applied to
Mcdaniel. Screaming for mercy, he,
it is alleged, admitted aiding Townes
in the murder and robbery, but
claimed the other boy fired the shots
which killed the storekeeper.
Still screaming from his burns,
Mcdaniel was shot to death.
Townes struggled as the mob
turned their blow torches TO him. He,
is is said repeated the confession then
