F. Turner offered a reward of $500 for the capture of the slayer of Otis Tramiell, well-known agent for the Domestic who was found murdered last Tuesday night on the doorsteps at 3518 Grand Avenue. Tramiell who had been an agent for the Domestic more than 5 years worked in that community and when he was found about 8:15 Tuesday night dead from a bullet which had pierced his heart he was grasping a wallet in his had containing $18.00, perhaps money he had collected off his debit for his company. According to the report George Moore who is said to live at the address where Tramiell was found dead, said he was eating supper when he heard a shot and thought nothing of it as shots are often heard in the neighborhood. Later however, Moore says he went out of the front door to get into the automobile and stepped upon Tramiell's body. According to detectives who were working with several public officials on the case, from the position of the body when found, Tramiell was fired upon from an adjoining yard. Otha Bailey, 19, who was arrest ed in Chickasaw Park Wednesday as teh Leader went to press, confessed to the murder. Traniell was one of the best types of citizens, was a leading churchman, and valuable representative of the Domestic Life Insurance Company. He was the sole dependence of the mother he leaves behind, and there are many expressions of regret of his untimely passing. A few hours after learning of his death Mr. Turner walked into the detective headquarters and offered $500 for the capture of the murderer. T.

J. E. WOOD AND FAMILY IN CITY Rev. J. E. Wood, prominent pastor of Danville, Ky., and President of the Nationa Baptist Convention was in the city last week, accompanied by Mrs. Wood, his son, Simmons, who was formerly connected with the I. Willis Cole Publishing Co., and other members of the family. The Woods were called here because of the death of a relative. Rev. Wood who was seriously sick a few weeks ago is rapidly getting back to health.

YOUNG'S WIDOW HERE Mrs. Charles Young, of Wilberforce, Ohio, wife of late Col.

Brown and Edwards Claim Victory BUT MCINTOSH IS REPORTED NOMINATED WITH OTHER ADMINISTRATION CANDIDATES Mayor's Ticket Including Starcks, Fox, Petty, Stiglitz And Others Wins The Republican administration organization headed by Mayor William B. Harrison said to be the most popular Mayor Louisville has ever had was victorious in the Republican Primary last Saturday, after one of the most interesting campaigns between members of the same party known to the oldest citizens. Mayor Harrison had no opposition, but with little exception the candidates on his ticket and endorsed by the Mayor were easy winners over their opponents, even the white man endorsed by the administration organization to represent the 58th Legislative District which is composed of ninety nine per cent Negro voters is declared winner over the three colored candidates. Judge Fred Starck An Easy Winner It was expected that Judge Fred Starck of the Police Court would win an easy victory over Justice William A. Earl and he did. He won the vote of more than ninety percent of the colored people who voted. It was hardly expected that Judge Henry I. Fox would be defeated by Judge Samuel A. Anderson for County Jail, and Judge Fox won by more than 4,000. The only close race between the white candidate was that of Magistrate R. Petty and Charles W. Ryan, candidate for County Sheriff to succeed Aubrey Cosser who was not a candidate for renomination but who may be named postmaster to succeed the late Ludlow Petty. Mr. Ryans who was defeated by 2,000 votes is popular among white and [colored?] voters. Rosenberg Vote Disappoints While the colored voters did not turn out in as large numbers as had been counted on, the small vote which went to H. A. I. Rosenberg from both the white and colored people was dis appointing. Mr. Rosenberg made an extensive campaign in the colored districts, was an attractive speaker and made appeals on the platform and through the Louisville News which loyally supported him thought to gain for him a large majority of the colored vote. But his total fell even below that received by Victor Cartwright who was also a candidate for County Judge The record of Judge Fox who won out over the above candidates and Judge Anderson by 4,000 was carried in the Leader of last week. County Clerk William G. Stiglitz had an easy victory over his nearest opponent, John W. Schultz, and though Ben F. Vogt won out over William C. Merzwiler for County Commissioner by a large majority but the race of Mr. Merzwiler, popular president of the Miller Paper Co., was quite commendable. Brown and Edwards Claim Victory For many years Negroes of Louisville have been the laughing stock of those sections of the county where the race is making more political progress without giving up so much to the promotion of politics, and to those profit (Continued on page 8) N.A.A.C.P.
