There Is 'No Negro Way,' Says Horace Bond "No Negro Way," Says Horace Bond In New Book Fire Stops Traffic THOUSANDS ATTRACTED TO WEST END FIRE; TRAFFIC HELD UP Traffic and street car service were tied up for an hour at Seventeenth and Chestnut Streets, Monday night at 8:10 P. M. as the result of the burning of three garages which belonged to Rev. M. B. Lanier, Cassius Smith and Miss Eunice Singleton. Alarm was turned in when flames were first discovered but the situation of the garages made water connections difficult and while a temporary delay was incurred, the flames gutted the three buildings and reached across the alley to neighboring houses. In Mr. Smith's garage three trucks and his automobile were destroyed while Miss Catherine Long's car just missed the fire as she removed it earlier in the night. The Leader reporter was not informed as to the whereabouts of the car of Rev. Lanier. Reflections of the flames could be seen squares away as the firemen were battling to get the fire under control, and thousands of folk watched the firemen at work. The origin of the fire was undetermined and the estimated loss has not been ascertained as yet. Engine house No. 8, the colored unit of the fire department was there and did its full share trying to squelch the blaze and save the buildings. The firemen got the fire under control after fifteen minute's battle. Negroes National Store Managers Philadelphia Has 787 Race Stores THE A. P. B.

SEDWICK RESIGNS JOB, REPORT ATTEMPT MADE TO SPIKE EARLY RUMOR ABOUT [MAN?] Was Said To Be Best Available But Agitation And Political [Pressure?] Turned Trick, It Is Said C. Walter Sedwick, Supervisor of the Colored Recreation Work of the Department of Public Welfare, was asked to resign the position early this week, it is said. It was also rumored Sedwick had been let out last Saturday, but when approached by a Leader reporter, Sedwick set out to spike the rumor and said that when such a thing hap pened he would see that it got to the newspapers. When asked if resigning was on his mind, he said he wouldn't know until Tuesday when his boss, Miss Dorothea Nelson, who is Superintendent of the Division of Recreation, returned from Wisconsin. Mr. Sedwick intimated that if he went all in the department would go. Many complaints have been registered to the Democratic leaders against Sedwick and other Republicans keeping the jobs. Dr. K. P Vinsel, Director of Welfare, who was appointed following the victory of the Democratic party in the last [November?] election has said, it is reported, [that?] Sedwick was the best man [qualified?] for the position in Louisville and [until?] another man reached the [qualifications?] no disposition would be made about [the?] job. It seeems, however, that [pressure?] and agitation finally [forced the director's?] hand and early Monday morning Mr. Sedwick was let out. Mr. Sedwick came to Louisville several years ago as physical director of boys' work at the Chestnut Street Branch Y. M. C. A. and later acquired the position of Director of Recreation of the Colored work in the Welfare Department under the Republican Administration. Sedwick was one of the most active and influential among the younger group of Colored Republicans. It is not yet known who the successor of Mr. Sedwick is to be. CARTER WOODSON MAPS OUT NEW STUDY AT KENTUCKY STATE COLLEGE Frankfort, Ky., May 3--In a three day visit, featured by a brace of addresses to the student body, a special round table for the faculty, and repeated conferences with the Department of History, Dr. Carter G. Woodson indicated new phases for historical studies in the Ohio Valley region. The first address delivered Monday in the special chapel exercise was wildly acclaimed by the Kentucky student body. The great Doctor charmed his listeners with romances from Negro History. This address was followed by a discussion with the faculty on new courses relative to the Negro. Such courses worked out by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History include syllabie on the Negro in the European mind and the History of Africa. Tuesday the Editor changed his style of address. With caustic wit and subtle, Dr. Woodson traced the varying attitude of the white man toward the Negro. This lecture was followed by a seminar for history majors and extended conferences over materials in the possession of the Head of the Department of History, L. D. Biddick. DELEGATES LEAVE FOR C. M.
