Four Enter Congress Race Four Chicago Negroes Seek To Succeed Madden Split of Vote Might Elect White Democrat For First Time Three Bankers At Prison Reader Commends Lyric Program The Lyric Amusement Company has decided to put Louisville on the map theatrically, once and for all times We will agree it is a big task, but it can and will be done. To gain the public's confidence is no doubt a hard job, but there is nothing worth while that is easy. To assure the Louisville public that they are going to get all there is, and the best of what there is, in the Colored show world, The Lyric Amusement Company has taken over both the Lincoln and Lyric Theatres.

After completing her grammar course in Western School, she entered Central High from which she graduates this June as a member of Senior B class. Miss Rhodes was crowned "Miss Centarl" Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a large crowd of her school mates and friends. Lexington Paper Writes About State Normal Affair (Lexington Herald, May 24, 1928.) The latest target attacked by the Courier-Journal is the State Normal and Industrial Institute for the training of young men and women in Frankfort. Accusation is made that the accounting system is notoriously lax and that money has been spent for other purposes than those for which collected. The Courier-Journal even goes so far as to publish an editorial under the heading, "Some one Should Pay This Back," criticizing the fiscal policies of the institutes' management. The Lexington Leader, harping on the efficiency commision's report which severely attacked G. P. Russell, the president of the institute, who was removed but later reinstated as president, declares that "careless handling of state funds" is a mild phrase in this connection. The time has come when those who accept positions of public trust must submit to such abuse. If the policy of vilification is continued, citizens will try to escape public service, realizing that their only reward will be criticism. The members of the board of trustees of the Normal and Industrial Institute are W. C. G. Hobbs, of Lexington; A. D. Hudson of Eminence, and Ben R. Oldham of Georgetown. During his four years as superintendent of public instruction, Prof. McHenry Rhoads was ex-officio as a member of this board. The Herald is informed by Prof. Rhoads that during this term of office every bill paid by the institute was carefully checked over in his office. In addition to this, no money was spent except by authorization of the board and, after authorization, payments were made with the board's endorsement. W. P. Sullivan of the Farmers Bank of Frankfort, is treasurer of the board. The state legislature has never adequately provided for the needs of this institution, so important to the Negroes of the State. As a result of this each year to meet actual needs and emergencies the expenditures ran over the amount appropriated. The policy, the same followed in other departments, notably the state highway department, for years, is not businesslike. It is subject to criticism, but be- (Continued on page 8). Bishop Walls and Mother Here; Robbed at Kansas City Bishop W. J. Walls of Charlotte, N. C., was in the city this week en route to Montgomery, Ala., where he is to deliver a commencement sermon. Mrs. Walls, the mother of the bishop, is also in the city the guest of Bishop and Mrs. Clement. The Bishop who was guest of the Leader editor, tells of how he was robbed by Negro bandits while attending the M. E. General Conference at Kansas City, through what he believes was a frame up by the taxi driver he employed while there. The bandits forced the bishop to turn over about $300 in cash, personal and church money. He had just left the General Conference of his church at St. Louis to deliver the fraternal address to the M. E. Conference. Committee Calls Mass Meeting MASS MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT Citizens Committee Calls Third Meeting At Jones Temple To arouse interest in the coming trial of W. Earl Smith for the outage perpetrated upon an orphan girl secured under false pretense from a colored orphanage, and to organize a permanent protective and defense committee, is this meeting called by Citizens Protective Committee. This man has been arrested and placed under bond. At the first call of the case in police court May 17, his bond was raised from $500 to $1,500. At the second call of the case May 24, at which the girl gave testimony, the Judge ordered Smith to go before a reputable physician for examination. This physician was designated by Mr. Scaggs, the attorney for the Citizens' Committee prosecuting the case. This case will be called again in police Court Saturday, June 9, and a good representative of colored citizens should by all means be present. This matter is of vast importance to the race, one in which every man and woman of the race interested in the welfare of the race should take a vital interest. For one man single handed alone, can with impunity and defiance of law, boldly and brazenly outrage a pure, innocent child, and escape just punishment, and if such an heinous offense does not arouse the colored people, there is not hope for us. If we are not interested in a case of this kind, if we feel that it is no concern of ours then the colored women have absolutely no protection, and are helpless and defenseless victims of any beast or brute that chooses to insult, humiliate and debauch them. Let us not forget the mass meeting to be held at Jones Temple, Sixth and Walnut, Tuesay night June 5, at 8 o'clock. B. S. Winlock, Pres., O. Singleton Sec., Citizens' Committee. Kentuckians Meharry Graduates Among the 105 who graduated from Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., this week were several well known young men from Louisville and Kentucky, including Henry E. Hampton, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Hampton of West Walnut St., this city, who received his degree in medicine "cum laude" Hampton, who while in the Central High School here, was connected with the Leader office, graduated from Fisk University in 1923. He has done graduate work at the University of Detroit and appointed to the staff of the St. Louis City Hospital. Alvin K. Smith, son of Dean Kirk Smith of Lincoln Institute, received his degree in dentistry, graduated with high honor, "cum laude." He is a Fisk graduate, class 1922. Other Kentuckians graduating in dentistry are Jacob A. Gay, Artus B. Wilson and Stephen A. Bell, son of Mrs. Nora K. Bell, the (Continued on Page 8.) Negro Was Not Guilty of Assault White Woman Tells The Truth As She Nears Death Man Freed After Serving 13 of 30 Years Sentence ANOTHER CLEVER CATCH MADE Down and Brown, colored uniform policemen, made another clever catch last Monday. The action of these two aggressive young officers is one of Joe Dyer, self styles war veteran, who has been out-bargaining shrewd business men with his "deaf and dumb" trick. Louisville is only one of the many cities Dyer has found the picking good, but Downs and Brown have put a stop to its easy going for a while at least, as he will spend several weeks at the work house here, where men are in demand. Dyer was seen around Sixth and Walnut streets last Saturday by Downs and Brown, who were off duty, working his trick, by handing his prospects a card which stated he was deaf and dumb, and a victim of the world war He was able to display such [physton?] signs as carried with the masses, but the officers were a bit suspicious and kept Dyer in mind, running into him Sunday, while on duty around 10th and Walnut, having collected a hand full of change, the officers exclaimed "Hello Joe, give us change for a dime." "Yes sir," replied Joe, in a voice far short of dumbness, and with Downs and Brown, he had company to the county jail. He admitted to the officers that they had him. Ballard's Reception The reception by Mrs. Isabel Shidell in honor of the marriage of her daughter Katherine Wise, to Dr. Orville L. Ballard last Friday evening, was a most beautiful affair. Friends crowded the home on Walnut St., and many beautiful gifts were received. Among the out of town guests were Mrs. W. H. Ballard, mother of the groom, and his brother, Dr. Ballard, and Mrs. Ballard of Lexington.
