DEMAND ACTION IN
LOUISIANA KILLING

RUSTON, La, Oct 21-A special
grand jury was called into session here
Monday at order of Judge E. L. Walk
er, to probe the lynching Thursday of
last week of 19-year-old w. c. Will
iams. The assembling of the grand

here as step toward curbing the
lynch habit which has been allowed
to develop unmolested over a period
of years.
Williams was hanged and slot by
a mob in Ruston, La, Oct il, in the
sixth lynching of the year. In order
to whip up the lynching spirit Will
liams was accused of criminaIly at
tacking one or two white girls and

After the lynchipg, it was admitted
that the boy did rot commit sex Of

PARDONS DENIED THREE
SCOTTSBORO BOYS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct 21-
Bowing to threat by ex-senator J
Thomas Heflin, the Alabama pardon
board denied petitions that three OF
five Scottsboro boys remaining in pri-
son be freed.
The board, after hearing arguments
for and against recommended that par
dons not be given to Andy Wright,
Charlie Weems and Clarence Norris.
The board previously had denied par
don petitions of Ozzie Powell and
Haywood Patterson
Heflin, open glorifier of lynching,
had threatened the board with vigil
ante action if they dared to free
Wright Weems and Norris.
IF this board pardons these Ne
groes," Heflin had said, cts mem
bers won't be safe in their own
homes"
Heflin sought to appear before the
board to oppose the pardon petitions
submitted by the defense committee,
but the board ordered all arguments
to be submitted in writing.

Win, lose or draw, John Henry
Lewis will have made his last stand
as world light heavyweight cham
pion at the conclusion of his IS
round title bout with Al Gamer to-
night at the New Haven arena.
He will not, no matter what the re-

There's no real competition and so
no real interest in the class" Manager
Gus Greenlee explained. Hell do the
weight for Gamer, but it isn't going
to be easy. If he wins from Gamer,
John will have six months before he
will be required to defend the title
again, but regardless of that he's max
ing his last start as light heavy

The outlook for employment among
our group received a setback on the
Sumner Field Housing Project, when
Frank Pearce, Housing Manager re-
ceived instructions from Washington
to take all such employees from the
Civil Service rolls.
In an effort to place those of our
group where possible, Mr.. Pearce had
employed two men, under the rules of
schedule B. Schedule B, which had
been inserted by President Roosevelt
provided that where all of one racial
group occupied a housing area, work
ers taken from that group might be
permitted. This as supplement to
schedule A, which provides that such
employees be taken from eligibles ON
the civil service roster c. w. WASH
ington, of the Urban League, had re-
commended two men for jobs on the
project, and they had been employed
prior to receipt of the order from
Washington, D. c.
One had worked two days, the other
was retained for about a week. In
formation CLEANED from those in posi-
tion to know, claim that there is lit
tie chance of our group being employed
as there are none as far as known, on
eligible lists.
According to Mr.. Pearce, announce
ment of the rents will be made Mon
day.
The original Committee of fifteen.
except Miss Gertrude Brown, and in
eluding Mrs Louise Orwell, Head
Resident of Phyllis Wheatley House,

Airs Race Issue

At public Forum held at Bryant
Junior High School, Wednesday night
Oct. II, following an address by DR.
Clifton F. MeClintock on Keeping the
Youth Straight, the Jury composed
of several white and one colored mem
bers passed upon the difficulties oi
keeping the youth straight.
Mr.. Mitchell in addressing the meet
ing on the problems of colored boys,
raised the question of discrimination in
southside youth activities.
Questioned by several members OF
apparent influence, it was disclosed
that there is no discrimination among
the pupils of any school either schol-
astically, or in the extra activities.
Much praise was given Al Jordan,
Secretary of the Lake street Branch,
Y.M.C.A., for his efforts in the proper
direction.
1t was disclosed that Mr.. Jordan had
not only been fair in his dealings with
the boys, but it was proven by par
ents, as we'll as the boys themselves,
that there could be no Improvement
on the present attitude.
Statements by Mr.. Mitchell that may
have had an antagonistic attitude were
refuted.
1t was disclosed that there has been
little or no discrimination in Y.MC.A.
activities, since Baker Post American
Legion, made the situation matter of
issue two years ago.

A LTHOUGH he was born in Buda.
"A pest, and spent most Of his life
in America, he wrote, strangely
enough, many Irish songs; such as
"Bedelia," "My Irish Molly-O" and
"Mr. Dooley." Chinatown, My
Chinatown" was more in his genre,
since he spent the early years of his
life on the lower east side of New
York, not far from Dreamy China
town where the lights are low"
He went to school at night, work
ing during the day to help support
the family. He secured the neigh
borhood for pianos on which to
practice. He worked as an office
boy, in a cigar factory, as a book
keepers clerk; he was cashier in a
Turkish bath, an errand boy in a
department store. He never lost
his desire to compose.
He landed job with a publishing
firm finally, at half the salary he
was then earning. While there he
met the late William Jerome, and
they formed a songwriting team.
1t was not until three years after
they had written Chinatown, My
Chinatown" for legitimate produc-
tion that the song was made famous
by the vaudeville team of Mathews
and Ashley.
He has been songwriter for forty
years. He is prominent member of
the American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, and resides
at present in Hollywood where he is
composing new tunes for radio and

Mess Line

When heated political campaigns are
waged in Minnesota, whether active or
not, there is always one warhorse that
champs at his bits. Born in a state
long known for the heat of its politics,
a messenger to the Governor at eight
cen, prominent figure in the trial
and incarceration of the victim of Am
erica's most mysterious political trag-
edy, Caleb Powers, Hamlet Rowe, well
known Minneapolitan, has aroused in
terest in nationwide journals, each time
he tells or retells the story of those
days in the dark and bloody.
Herewith we give an excerpt taken
from the files of the Minneapolis Jour
nal OF some time ago:
Kentucky's political reign of terror
which eliminated in the assassination
OF William Goebel in 1900 and the
arrest of Caleb Powers, the latter's
many trials and five years. Jail i'm
prisonment form one of the most dra-
matte stories in the history of Am
erica's political and legal institutions.
The stirring days of 1900 in Frank
fort, capital of Kentucky, when the
flame of party animosity was ram
pant, when erstwhile honored and re-
spected men were suspected of the
graveSt crimes and when opposing
forces were armed to the teeth await
ing a signal for open warfare, again
became a vivid picture in the memory
OF Hamlet B. Rowe, Minneapolis, with
the passing of the 2lst anniversary of
the Goebel shooting few days ago.
Hamlet Rowe in 1900 was a mes
senger in the office of Governor Goe-
bel and was only a short distance
away when the executive was struck
down by the assassin's bullet. In the
exciting days that followed, when a
political storm threatened the whole
of Kentucky's administrative and legis-
lative framework, Mr.. Rowe, then a
boy, scurried in and out among the
crowds that often filled the square be-
tore the statehouse, carrying the many
messages the tense days brought forth.
Although the nation was shocked
by the assassination of the southern
governor, the dramatic trials of
Caleb Powers, who seemed destined
to pay the price for the murder,
aroused even greater interest. Pow
ers was tried four times, twice SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, once sem
fenced to death and once escaped a
verdict because of a jury disagree
rnent. Three times the court of ap-
peals reversed the decisions of the
lower Judiciary bodies Eight years
were spent in jails, except for the
brief respites his trials afforded, in
jails that would have been unfit habi-
tations for cattle. A man of educa-
tion and culture, he was forced to
associate with the most depraved of
criminals, with men reeking of disease,
with men crazed by liquor, with men
breathing vile curses against law and
society.
Caleb Powers buoyed up his hope
by writing. With the din of the other
prisoners about him he piled his pen
on the memoirs that were to tell the
story of his life. A copy of this book,
autographed by the author, is one of
the treasured possessions of Mr.. Rowe.

Soldiers Guard
Negro Digging
For Gold

San Antonio, Texas-A Gordon OF
army officers, from October Is, have
been protecting Frank Shepperd and
two white men in their night and day
search for fold on the Fort Sam
Houston reservation.
Twenty years back, Shepperd was
awed by the production of his diggings
three heavy. bushels of brass" He
knew that his find would make him
rich. All that brass" would bring,
now let's see-Sure, all that brass"
ought to bring about-oh a lot of
money. But, better not count the
chickens, Sheppard cautioned himself,
and hauled his find to the neighbor-
hood junk dealer.
The dealer seemed disturbed at the
large amount of "brass," Sheppard
noted, very disturbed The "junkie"
finally seemed to recover his COM
posure and in an off-hand way, unused
that all that "brass" would bring about
S400. That was because of its perfect
quality, you understand. Otherwise,
he wouldn't give two cents for the lot.
Sheppard, overjoyed, grabbed the
$400 in "yellow-backs" and started for
the door.
Twin-City herald., 1938-10-22

y
and seein' you brought me good-no
the best-bunch of brass I've had in
years, here" the jeweler pushed for
ward some yellow paper, "take this ad-
ditional $l00 and have yourself a good
time"
He was happy, therefore it followed
that the world was happy. And Shep-
pard noticed that Mr. Junk Dealer was
happy too-so much so that that
business gentleman was daily blossom
ing out with new wearing apparel, go
ing on long trips hither and yon, arm
in-arming with pretty feminine person
ages and, even now, was opening de-
partment store!
Amazing, exclaimed Sheppard, while
he welded the bar of brass" Amaz-
ing! That brass" must have been
worth, to Mr.. Junk Dealer, so much
that it might have well as been gold!
More amazed was Sheppard, however,
when a jeweler told him that the bar
he had was actually gold. :.
That set Sheppard to thinking, next
to acting. He was to try for twenty
years to get aid in digging, but he did
not know how to gain permission from
the War Department In his motley
travels he met and finally convinced
Hugo E. Randig and Joe Bachmeyer,
of Tyler, Texas, that the three bushels
of alleged brass were really gold, "or
else you're not living"
something there" and retained law
yer, the lawyer securing governmental
permission for the gold hunt. The
three diggers will get Is per cent of
the riches dug up. The other IS per
cent goes to the Federal Treasury.
