Acquitted Woman
Charges Husband
With Six Beatinqs

A 33-year-old woman swore
out warrant for her husbands
arrest yesterday, charging bru-
tality after she was acquitted of
disordely conduct charge in
Municipal Court.
At the same time, she COM
planned to the police that her
policeman brother -in-law beat
her when he made the arrest
Thursday morning for disorderly
conduct.
Mrs. Esther McFadden, of 1903
Randolph street NV. was ar
rested in her apartment by her
off-duty brother-in-law, 9Th pre-
cinct Pvt. Francis X. McFadden.
Mrs. McFadden testified in
court Friday that her husband,
George McFadden. beat and
kicked her, causing her to
scream.
Called by Neighbors.
Pvt. McFadden was called by
neighbors from his apartment at
the same address because of
Mrs. McFadden's screams. When
she was quieted, the policeman
returned to his own home.
Ninety minutes later, Pvt. Nc
Fadden was again sent for and
this time he arrested the Sob
bing woman for disorderly con-
duct.
In both instances, 10th Pre-
cinct policemen were also sent
to the scene, but Pvt McFadden
already had acted.
Mrs. McFadden's complaint to
police accused her brother in
law of beating her at the time of
her arrest. Sixth precinct Capt.
Reid Hammann investigated and
submitted his findings to Inspec-
tor Lorraine johnson, who will
determine what action might be
taken against Pvt. McFadden.

McFadden refused to testify
against his wife, but not because
he was trying to protect her.
I'll have to find out whether
it's in my brothers best inter-
ests for me to testify" he told
Judge Milton Kronheim.
Last year Pvt. McFadden was
cleared by a Municipal Court
jury which tried him on a charge
of assaulting a prisoner by
breaking his wrist with a night
stick.

last week when it became known
that Mrs. Ruby Stewart, the wife
of Walter Stewart, widely known
and successful Burial Insurance
Agent, Automobile Salesman and
Businessman, the mother of two

divorce.

sissippi law. According to reports,
her bill also asks for an $4,000

In spite of the reported inten-
sive effort on the part of friends
of both sides there was no con
firmation early this week that the
couple had agreed to settle their
differences outside of the divorce
court.
While there was no confirma-
ton of a reported settlement or
agreement between the couple it
was reliably reported that the hus-

answer to her bill of complaint

RACE ISSUE May SPLIT

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Nov. 16-Shades of South Africa
racism reared it's head in the new

in connection with the first federal

Current politics finds the party
of Sir Godfred Higgins, interim

with the Confederate party on is
sues concerning Negroes. The diff
ferences threatened to split the
federation into two warring-fac-
tions-one for equal treatment of
the Negro and the other for segre-
cation of him and white supre-
macy.
Higgins and his Federal party
stand for common-roll franchise
for all races and believe that native

concern of the three states them
selves. The federation states are

Southern and Northern Rhodesia
and Nyasaland
On the other hand, the confed-
crate party, made up many South
African Dutch settlers in the Rho
desias, wants Negroes segregated
on a separate electoral register.
The Confederate party also
would eventually split up the fed

and maintain white supremacy.
The party repeatedly is gain
ing support for its program and
consequently, stands as a threat
in the federation.
Meanwhile, it was announced
that more immigrants from South
Africa may be expected in the
future. Garfield Todd, prime min
lister of Southern Rhodesia, said
that immigration quotas on South
Africans would be increased and
families with up to four children
accepted.
