Man Carries Out Threat
MAN WHO THREATENED WOMAN SHOOTS HER TO DEATH AT PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT George White of 1341 South Twelfth street carried out his threat to kill Mrs. Anna Miller with whom it is said he had lived for several years, last Saturday morning at 7:30 o'clock, when he went to the boarding house at 1394 S. Third street where Mrs. Miller was employed as maid and shot her, one bullet piercing her heart, three entering her back and a fifth striking her in the leg. The woman died instantly. One stray bullet struck Mrs. Phillip R. Day, white, operator of the boarding house, in the right ankle. The place is located in one of Louisville's fashionable residential districts and the shooting caused no small amount of excitement. The couple had been quarreling for some time, it is said, and White had threatened to kill the woman when he came home late Saturday night a week before she left him to move a few doors away at 1345 S. Twelfth street. Mrs. Day was in the kitchen helping with the breakfast  and Mrs. Miller, the maid, was working in another part of the rooming house when White came to the rear door and asked for her. Called by Mrs. Day, Mrs. Miller came to White who stood inside of the door. "Good morning, how are you?" White is reported to have said. "All right, how are you?" the woman answered, and screamed as White drew his gun and began to fire.

CITIZENS URGED TO HEAR YOUNG KING IN RECITAL THURSDAY NIGHT The recital of William R. King, young Louisville pianist, assisted by his cousin, James Compton of Seymour, Ind., at the Parish House, Eleventh and Walnut, Thursday evening, September 3, promises to be a pleasant treat for the music loving public. The appearance of young King affords the citizens of Louisville another opportunity to help one of their own to accomplish his purpose. King has been free with his services as a pianist whenever and wherever called upon and now that he plans to enter the University of Illinois this fall, the citizens have a good chance to show appreciation for the young man who has always been so willing to serve. King is the possessor of a graceful, delicate, yet dignified technique. His program which is varied brings out all the charms of his touch, and he deserves and it is expected that he will be greeted by a capacity house next Thursday evening.

C., December 2-4. The call says in part, "I have sensed a serious and deep under current of dissatisfaction among all classes of Negroes in every section of the country with the present economic and political conditions. The time is ripe for concerted action. Furthermore, the masses are expecting the leaders to appeal for justice and definite relief. To this end on June 26th, 1931, I invited a small group to Washington for the purpose of formulating certain definite measures urged upon the President and Congress of the United States and all political parties. The conference agreed that the program of the convention should include discussions of the following grievances: 1st, Lynching; 2nd, Discrimination in Civil Service; 3rd, Economic Discrimination; 4th, Disfranchisement; 5th, Unfair Distribution of Federal Educational Funds."

Local Colored Leaders Organize
ALL REPUBLICAN FACTIONS GET TOGETHER FOR MAYOR HARRISON Cole Chairman; Weeden Vice; Warley Secretary; Buford Assistant By William H. Ferris A great get-together meeting of colored Republicans, who represented various walks of life and various sections of the city, was held last Friday evening at the Mammoth Building. The meeting was the outcome of the last state meeting and was called after a conference with Dr. E. E. Underwood, member of the Republican State Central Committee, who suggested such a meeting of all the leaders, representing so-called factions of the Fifth District, looking forward to a conference of leaders from the eleven districts in an organization which would guarantee Mayor Harrison, the Republican candidate for governor and his ticket a record colored vote in November. Editor Opens Meeting I. Willis Cole, editor of The Louisville Leader, acted as temporary chairman, and in his opening remarks said that in view of the fact that  colored Republican campaign organization for the gubernatorial campaign had not been definitely decided, he was of the opinion that there should be no permanent organizing of the Fifth District at that time, and that the naming of representatives from the district to a state meeting should be indefinitely postponed. But he said that with such a large number of leaders representing all opinions and factions the meeting should resolve itself into a round table talk for the good of the cause. Mr. Cole declared that he was not seeking the leadership of the colored Republicans of Louisville and vicinity, but desired to see whatever differences there were between any of the leaders and voters straightened out for the good of race progress and Republican party success. He said that he was willing to follow any leader selected if it meant that the voters of Louisville and Kentucky would be solidly arrayed behind the streaming banners of William B. Harrison who had made an excellent mayor of Louisville and wou  ld make a splendid Governor of Kentucky. Discuss Permanent Organization Mr. Cole, the temporary chairman, made it plain that he thought it best not to go into a permanent organization and the matter was discussed for more than an hour by some of the most prominent citizens of Louisville, clergymen, lawyers, physicians and business men, the Rev.
