Walnut [Street, who?] was arrested on October [illegible] [and?] walnut Streets by [officers?] Clinard and Jones on [illegible] sworn to by Mable Jones [illegible] 16 S. 6th Street, charging [him with?] detaining a woman against [her will?], was freed by Police Judge [illegible] Brachey. After the woman [testified?] in court, Judge Brachey ruled [that?] the evidence was insufficient to [prove?] Barlow's guilt. The woman [accused?] Barlow of accosting her in front [of?] her home on the night of the 23rd. She testified that Barlow had been pestering her for several days. On cross-examination by Attorney C.

The woman failed to answer. Mr. Tucker then moved that the case be dismissed. Barlow testified that he had never seen the woman before, and that when he was arrested by the officers, he and a friend has just returned from Simmons University, where they had been to register for night school and that he had not at any time been in the neighborhood of 6th and Chestnut Streets. Other witnesses testified that Barlow was a hard working man and that his character was good. Barlow is employed by the telephone company as linesman and has been in the service for 10 years. The white woman could not identify him as being the man that she claimed accosted her. HUNDREDS PAY LAST RESPECTS TO BISHOP CLEMENT; BISHOP ALLEYNE DELIVERS EULOGY By William H. Ferris The funeral of Bishop George Clement, which was held in Broadway A. M. E. Zion Temple, Rev. C. J. Henderson, pastor, Friday afternoon was both a sad and unlifting ceremony. It was sad because a great man in Israel had fallen. It was up- uplifting because the number of prominent divines, not only of Louisville, but of distant cities, who attended the funeral services showed that Bishop Clement had not lived in vain. Then [the?] dignity of the robed bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church and the simplicity and impressiveness of the services from the moment when Rev. C. J. Henderson led the procession up the isles to the moment when the last [illegible] had left the church, exemplified the cultural possibilities of the Negro [race?]. Senior Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia, Pa., conducted the services. Bishop L. W. Kyles lined the [hymn?],'Am I a Soldier of the Cross," [Bishops?] L. W. Kyles and J. W. Wood [read?] the two scripture lessons. Rev. [illegible] Black of Cincinnati, Ohio, led in [prayer.?] Bishop B. G. Shaw lined a hymn, Bishop E. D. W. Jones read the obituary in which he said of Bishop Clement: "His championing of the rights of man led him to champion the rights of his race.. As editor of the Star of Zion and as bishop, he fought the fight of freedom. Bishop Alleyne Delivers Eulogy Bishop Caldwell presented Bishop C. C. Alleyne of Pelham, N. Y., to deliver the eulogy. It was a philosophical and literary masterpiece, delivered in a conversational manner, rising to lofty eloquence towards the close. Bishop Alleyne's theme was "God speed Our Fallen Friend," from Oxerham's poem and he closed with Whittier's poem, "God Endeth All Things Well." Bishop Alleyne said "Bishop Clement was dauntless, fearless, courageous and uncompromising. He had a sublime sense of the value of altruistic service. He lived his life on a grand, filling others with admiration of his simplicity. His was in very truth an adventurous soul. History will write his name in glitterine letters among those who were born to achieve the impossible and to break through the narrow bounds. Clement, the bishop, is no more, but Clement, the man, lives on in the building of the social order. He has exemplified in his home the deeper meanings of life. Through the years he will be with his wife and children. (Continued on page 4) McAdoo Wedding Plans Run Into Race Snag Tribune Observes 50th Anniversary N.A.A.C.P.

MOTON RESIGNS DR ROBERT RUSSA MOTON RESIGNS AS HEAD OF TUSKEGEE Successor To Washington Was The More Accepted Leader [Of?] Race Since His Death; Lived To See DuBois Come To His Viewpoint Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 2--Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute announces his resignation from the institution to be effective, June 1935. Dr. Moton who succeeded Dr. Booker T. Washington, became principal upon the death of Dr. Washington in 1916. Dr. Moton who will close out twenty years service as principal at the same time his resignation take effect is 70 years old. Dr. Moton came to the office of this world famous institution from Hampton Institute, Virginia, where he was commandant of the Cadets and Commissioned a Major. Major Moton had a most difficult task, first, because he inherited the baton of one the world's greatest men, second because Industrial Education was under intense fire from many quarters. That he succeeded remarkably, is evidenced by the following reci tation of facts. Dr. Moton endowed Tuskegee with a seven million dollar Fund, built many new buildings, including Warren Logan Gymnasium, New Science Hall, Library and scores of other buildings; enlarged the curricula of Tuskegee to include four years of academic work, persuaded President Harding to place the twenty million dollar Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee. Resignation Expected However, Dr. Moton's resignation has been expected for some time. It is known his health has not been good. Then there are two other incidents which must have pressed heavily upon him. Tuskegee has had three mystery murders in recent years. Mrs. Jennie Booth, the President's sister-in-law, was mudered on the campus, and despite the fact that there were arrests made there was never any prosecution, and the finger of suspicion was never removed from a member of the Moton family. The latest tragedy was the murder of the Vice Principal R. C. Adkins. There were also several arson cases perpetrated on the campus. Dr. Moton himself has been under fire by a section of the Negro press for having advocated a lower wage code for a manufacturing plant in (Continued on page 8) Janitor Attends Phoenix College MISS BOWMAN STILL LEADING As the Leader's annual subscription campaign nears the close of the first period, Mrs. Lewis Bowman of Vine Grove, Ky., is leading the participants for the third week, with Mr. W.

The friendly rivalry between the several candidates for the New Ford V8 as the first prize and the $100, $75, $50 and $25 in cash offered as the four other capital prizes, to be given to the persons reporting the largest number of votes representing subscriptions, is getting more interesting with each week. The candidates entered up to Wednesday and the votes and standing are given on page 8. COLES RETURN FROM MEMPHIS TRIP Mr. and Mrs. I. Willis Cole and A. Lattimore Walls and Tella Marie Cole returned from Memphis late Thursday where they visited the parents and relatives of Mr. Cole. While there Tella Marie was heard by the students of the Booker T.

Alumni Endorse Doctor Johnson Says Civilization Founded In Slavery OFFICIALS FAIL TO STOP MOB NOTIFIED BEFORE SAVAGE LYNCHING WAS PULLED OFF Victim Carried From One State To Another; Shot Fifty Times, Burned With Red Hot Irons And Dragged Through Streets Marianna, Fla., Nov. 2.--The Florida courts were notified twelve hours before the lynching of Claude Neal, 23, last Friday night at Greenwood, Fla. that a mob of 5,000 had been formed and would lynch the prisoner who was charged with attacking a white woman and then murdering her, but no action was taken to protect him. The victim was brought from across the Alabama line from a Brewton, Ala., jail, was shot about fifty times, burned with red hot irons, and then dragged through the streets behind an automobile, according to reports. Thousands of persons, including men, women and children and mothers with babes in their arms, had gathered for the lynching upon notices sent out by the mob leaders. This last inhuman, savage affair offers strong evidence in support of a federal anti-lynching bill . Following closely upon the heel of the Claude Neal lynching, termed as a federal offense in as much as the prisoner had been abducted from one state and carried across the boundry of another to be brutally mobbed. angry groups gathered as Marianna, Fla., the following afternoon to lynch another Negro prisoner, accused of striking a white man with [a?] bottle. Negro citizens were warned to leave the streets following the rescus of this prisoner. Deputy Sheriff Cooper said in a telephone call to the governor's office at Tallahassee that he was a virtual prisoner inside the jail while Sheriff Chamblise was outside trying to hold off the mob. Telegrams from various organizations, working for better interracial relationship, were immediately dispatched to President Roosevelt and Attorney General Cummings to use federal agencies to capture the members of the mob. Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed a message to the President, and likewise sent telegraphic communications to all the branches of the country, urging them to flood the White House with similar messages. Mr. White spent months in Washington, D. C., this past (Continued on page 8) Disciple of Gandhi Heard By Large Howard Audience WOODS IS HELD WITHOUT BOND Clarence Woods, alias Jay Bird, who shot and fatally wounded his sweetheart, Miss Ann Taylor, 442 S. 21st Street, October 7 as she was leaving home for work and attempted suicide by firing a bullet into his own head, was arraigned last Saturday morning in Police Court on a murder charge and was held to the grand jury without bond to November 15.
