OFFICER ESCAPES DEATH PREACHER, PATROLMAN LUCKY TO BE LIVING AFTER CRASH Had Been To Republican Picnic When Automobile Collision Caused Death Officer John Brown, well known colored patrolman, who was called to the ministry a few months ago and who has preached in several local pulpits, narrowly escaped death last Saturday night when the automobile in which he was riding was struck by a car driven by James Tribble, white, of Shelbyville, at Twenty-second and Cedar Streets about 9:40 o'clock. The automobile in which Officer Brown was riding was driven by George Cotton, 29, of 2343 Cedar Street. Cotton and Brown were enroute back to the police headquarters where Officer Brown had left his pocketbook upon changing his clothes, after being on duty at the Republican picnic at Chickasaw Park, when the accident occurred. According to Officer Brown, the Buick driven by Tribble, who had with him Robert David Fender, 21, of 2428 Brook Street, an assistant professonal at the Big Spring Golf Club, was coming North on Twenty-second at the rate of about 45 miles an hour, and that Cotton was driving his Chrysler east on Cedar at about 25 miles an hour, that Cotton applied his brakes in the effort to avoid being struck, and that Tribble tried to get around Cotton's car but they collided, and Fender was thrown through the winshield of Tribble's car, fatally injured. Both Tribble and Cotton were charged with manslaughter when arraigned in Police Court Monday morning and bonds fixed at $1,000 each. According to Officer Brown and other witnesses to the accident, it is a miracle that Brown and both Tribble and Cotton were not also killed.
POSITION OF MILLIGAN AND SCALES ON ADAMS' SCHEME COMMENDED The article which appeared in the Leader last week and which gave Joe Adams, well known Republican ultra-enthusiast as long as his "rabbit foot" is working on one Republican leader or another, but at least a good worker in the place he is fitted for, credit for being able to always put over his schemes, and put himself into the Republican leadership of the race in spite of protests of the most prominent Negro Republican leaders, met the sanction of hundreds of loyal colored Republicans over the city, men and women. Commended By Reporter Publisher The article in the Leader last week characterized Adams as the means through which the Louisville Independent got on the streets two weeks ago, with the name of Adams on the staff as associate editor, and gave Adams credit for using his "rabbit foot" on at least one Republican leader in bringing over into the Carrell "band wagon" a paper whose management was for Ryans and Greene in the recent primary, was Democratic in the campaign between the parties a year ago and was expected to support the Democratic ticket in the mayoralty campaign, and gave him credit for putting his scheme of getting himself and "crew' going early, and into a leadership which he is not fitted for, and which members of his "crew" are not entitled to. Among the colored Republicans leaders whose sentiment was expressed in the Leader article last week, and who was free in so expressing himself was the publisher of the Kentucky Reporter. Not Supported By Milligan And Scales It is generally know that the lattitude that has been given Joe Adams has not been sanctioned by C. W. Milligan, secretary of the Republican Administration organization and J. H. Scales, director of the campaign work among colored people. Not only did Messrs. Milligan and Scales oppose the scheme attempted by Adams with the support of his "crew" two weeks ago, but they have all along opposed the way Adams has been allowed to do things. Just how Adams has used his "rabbit foot" on certain of the Republican leaders over a period of years, and placed himself and members of his "crew" in the leadership of the race at campaign times, to the detriment of the Republican party and the discredit of the race was recited by a prominent Republican to the Leader this week, and may be used in succeeding articles.

REPUBLICAN PICNIC ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD TO CHICKASAW PARK Order Is Commended; Abundance of Food And Other Things Served By William H. Ferris The annual Republican picnic, which was held at Chickasaw Park Saturday, September 9, from the standpoint of the orderliness of the crowd, the super-abundance of food and variety of games, surpassed all previous picnics. The Republican organization omitted no detail that would contribute to the happiness, comfort, security and safety of its citizens. When I entered the beautiful park on a curving tree studded hill, overlooking the Ohio River, Saturday afternoon, I saw scores of automobiles parked by the side of the drive. I saw hundreds of people. Some were playing tennis, some baseball and others were standing in lines for ice cream, soft drinks, wieners and candy. And then there were the children, some stnding in line for food and others playing games. But what impressed me most was the absence of the hustle and crowding that is usualy seen in the food lines. All the Negro policemen, park and city, were present to preserve order. Those serving food were protected by wire booths. Then the word had been passed around that there was plenty of food for everybody. And there was So there was no need for anyone to hurry. Super-Abundance Of Food Twenty-four thousand bricks of ice cream, forty thousand wiener sandwiches and five hundred cases of soft drinks were served to the ten thousand people. And then there was candy galore. Hundreds of people brought their own private lunches and shared with [friends.?] So no one left the park hungry. The Games And Music But this picnic was something more (Continued on page 4)
