Savannah, Ga.—(CNS)—Elliot
Miss Roxie Waterhouse, 25-year-old
woman, is dead, Bill King, 32, is at
the point of death in a local hospital
and police are searching for a form-
er suitor of Miss Waterhouse, known
only by a nickname.
According to the information re-
ceived by The Informer, the murder-
ous attack on the couple and the kill-
ing of Miss Waterhous is another
fatality growing out of the “the etern-
al triangle.” Miss Waterhouse and
the slayer had been very good friends,
but on meeting King, her affections
for him waned, and he began to sus-
pect King as the cause of the trouble.
Rumors began to come to him that
King and the woman were frequently
seen together and that the woman
was in the habit of visiting King at
his home.
Receiving a tip that Miss Water-
house had a “date” with King Mon-
day night at his home, the man is said
to have waited around the house. Fi-
nally, he walked into the home, and
finding his sweetheart and King to-
gether, he opened fire with a pistol,
killing the woman almost instantly.
He then turned the pistol on King,
shooting him once through the head
and sending another bullet through
his hand. King resided at 2010 Carr,
where the tragedy took place.
The wounded man was taken to Jef-
ferson Davis Hospital in an Oliver-
Lewis ambulance. He is said to have
only a slight chance for recovery.
After the shooting, the assailant
made his escape, and up to the time
of going to press, had not been ap-
prehended.

PASS ARTICLES
FAVORING DAVIS
To the Texas Jurisdiction, U. B. F.
and S. M. T. of Texas:
The officers and members of St.
James Lodge No. 6, U. B. of F. of
Houston, Texas, send this communioa-
tion forth to set at rest for all time
to come, any and all false rumors
concerning the standing of Brother
W. L. Davis in his lodge.
Whereas, a constant rumor has
gone over the state to the effect that
Brother W. L. Davis was delinquent
in payment of his dues to St. James
Lodge No. 6, U. B. F. of Houston,
Texas; and that said delinquency dis-
qualified him from holding the office
of grand master of the U. B. F. Grand
Lodge of Texas; and,
Whereas, said rumor reflects upon
the efficiency and capability of the
local officers of St. James Lodge No.
6, U. B. F. of Houston, Texas; and,
Whereas, we know to our personal
knowledge that these rumors are
without foundation and the allegations
made against our brother, W. L. Da-
vis, are false and made for the pur-
pose of furthering the political for-
tune of another man; therefore,
Be it resolved, That we here and
now condemn these unwarranted
charges coming from whatever source
and that we, the member of St. James
reodge No. 6, U. B. F. of Houston,
Texas, state upon our honor, that we
have at all times received and recog-
nized Brother W. L. Davis as a faith-
nil and loyal member and that he is
and has always been in good and reg-
ular standing with our lodge, and
therefore, he has never had to be re-
instated.
We further state, upon our honor,
that Brother W. L. Davis has always
paid any and all amounts of money
demanded by us, and these payments
were made in the regular way save
and except at one time when he paid
the grand secretary some endowment
and that the grand secretary so in-
formed us of the amount and the pur-
pose for which it was paid.
Done by order of St. James Lodge
in session, this the 20th day of April,
1932.

BEN DAVIS, JR., ENJOYS
SMOKE IN COURT ROOM
BUT IT COSTS HIM $5.00
Atlanta, Ga.—(ANP)—Benjamin J.
Davis, Jr., son of the former Repub-
lican national committeeman for
Georgia, was fined $5 for smoking a
cigar in court while it was in session,
according to an article in the Atlanta
Constitution.
The fine was imposed by Judge
Jesse M. Wood, who is reported to
have observed Mr. Davis smoking in-
side the railing between the bench and
the spectators.
A friend of Mr. Davis is reported
to have paid the fine.
The Y. M. C. A. drive for 500
members began in earnest Wednes-
day night. The “kick-off’ was mark-
ed by a big dinner for the 75 workers.
Chairman J. D. Ryan read letters and
telegrams from association leaders in
Denver, Washington, D. C., New York
City, Dallas and other points, urging
Houston to be victorious in the cam-
paign. The “Bulls” led by Jas. T.

Large Group of St
Nicholas Children
In 1st Communion
Before a crowd which packed the
St. Nicholas Catholic Church, Clay at
St. Charles, last Sunday morning, the
pastor, Rev. Carl F. Schappert, ad-
ministered first holy communion to a
large class of boys and girls.
With the usual solemnity char-
acteristic of all Catholic services, the
Anderson Ward, 27-year-old chef,
was arrainged before Judge Langston
King on Friday of this week on a
charge of robbing William Hayes
(white), 21, of 1016 Hamilton Street,
of $2.50 on March 5, and drew a sen-
tence of 25 years in the penitentiary.
The jury returned the quarter-cent-
ury verdict after only a few minutes
of deliberation.
Ward, who was dressed in woman’s
clothes, wore a feminine wig, and had
his face painted at the time of his ar-
rest, and from every outside appear-
ance was a woman. He was arrested
by City Detective E. J. Stoneham the
night following the hold-up, only 20
feet from the spot where the alleged
robbery took place.
Hayes testified that he met two
Negroes at Lamar and Hamilton
streets and that he was held up by
one of them who was dressed in wom-
an’s clothes and whom he thought was
a woman. He said, however, that he
was certain that Ward was the per-
son perpetrating the robbery.
Ward emphatically denied being the
robber and attempted to prove an ali-
bi, saying that he was at the home
of Willie Butler at 1106 Cushing,
waiting for a man to call him about a
job, at the time Hayes says he was
robbed.
Ward also denied that he has a
weakness for impersonating women,
saying that he was only masquerad-
ing the night of his arrest as he was
on his way to a ball.
PROF. HARRISON SPEAKS
AT MADISONVILLE SCHOOL
Madisonville.—Friday evening a
short program was held in the audi-
torium in behalf of the Parent-Teach-
' Miss Apple White McCauley, 25, of
1511 Sydnor, has been arrested and
Henry Thomas is at Jefferson Davis
Hospital growing a new top on his
head, as the aftermath of a lover’s
quarrel which took place at the home
of Miss McCauley Saturday after-
noon, April 23, about 4:30 o’clock.
Miss McCauley said that they prog-
ressed nicely, having no serious up-
heaval until the 15th of this month,
when they had a fight and since that
time, no amount of oil has been able
to quiet the troubled waters.
The scrap which won the attention
of the police department is reported
to have started very quietly with
Henry taking out his vengeance by
cutting the screens of Miss McCau-
ley’s house when he thought she was
not looking, and to have progressed
from thence to its rapidly moving and
very violent climax, when it was
found that she was looking.
When she saw how Henry was do-
ing her screen, Miss McCauley got
her brother’s shot gun and fired it
twice, shooting Henry in the top of
the head. By this time, he had gain-
ed entrance to the house and started
chasing Miss McCauley, presumably
for the purpose of punishing her for
shooting off the top of his head. She
explained that she still had the gun,
but did not shoot again, because she
had forgotten how to fire it.
Henry is reported as doing very
nicely at the hospital. He says that
he still loves Miss McCauley and will
not prosecute Ker. She is a former
teacher, having formerly taught sin

port. La.

MANAGER SAYS
LOCAL SCHOOLS
FREED OF GUNS
In response to an editorial in last
week's issue of The Houston Inform-
er, calling attention to the reckless
use of guns by custodians, H. L Mills,
business manager of Houston Inde-
pendent School District, issued an of-
ficial bulletin forbidding the use of
guns on school grounds by custodians.
In sending us the bulletin, Mr. Mills
wrote the following letter:
Editor, Houston Informer:
I have read your editorial in your
edition of Saturday, April 23, under
the heading “A Fool With a Pistol,”
and I agree with every word of the
editorial.
There is no doubt in the world but
that this custodian absolutely exceed-
ed all instructions ever given him. It
is true, I think, that he has a special
police commission, which possibly un-
der the eyes of the law, would give
him the right to carry a gun but we
have repeatedly instructed these cus-
todians that they are under no cir-
cumsances to carry a gun or to have
a gun on them around the schools and
on the school premises. But for the
fact that this fellow has been with the
Judge Whit Boyd ruled Tuesday in
quashing the entire panel, that the
jury panel called for the murder trial
of Johnny Williams, Negro, was chos-
en illegally because no Negroes’
names were included in the jury
wheel.
Civil Judges Advised It.
“Who told you to keep the names
of Negroes out of the jury wheel?”
asked Assistant District Attorney
Tom Branch, an authority on Texas
law.
“I talked the matter over with the
civil judges,” Schweikart answered.
“They told me that it was no use to
put the names of Negroes in the
wheel because they would be excused
from jury service when they appear-
ed in court.
“The judges said it would only
make more work for the sheriff to
serve the Negroes since they would
not be used.
“Did you discuss this matter with
either of the criminal district judges
(Whit Boyd and Langston King)?”
Mr. Branch asked.
Prosecution Bays Quash.
“No, sir,” Schweikart said, “Neith-
er Judge King nor Judge Boyd ever
talked to me about the matter.”
tain the motion to quash the venire.
“I think that according to Mr.
Schweikart’s testimony the law has
not been followed,” Branch said. “It
is not necessary that the name of any
Negro should be drawn. But there
must be no discrimination, according
to the law, in the drawing of whites
and Negroes.
There’s No Escape.
“There’s only one course to follow
and that is the open and honest
course. The testimony clearly shows
that Negroes have been discriminated
against in the filling of the jury
wheel. I suggest that the court call
a meeting of all district judges of
Harris County to investigate the mat-
ter.
“If the investigation shows that
the names of Negroes have been left
out of the wheel by the suggestion
of the civil district judges, the wheel
can be emptied and a new set of
names can be placed in it legally.”
Judge Boyd, after quashing the
venire and indefinitely postponing the
case, called a meeting of the judges
at 2 p. m. Tuesday in Judge Hannay’s
court room.
Refuses Transfer
Mr. Branch secured a copy of the
law on filling the jury wheel and read
it to the judge.
“Fifth amendment provides that all
persons shall have equal rights,” he
said.
He then asked Judge Boyd to sus-

occasion was Prof. W. R. Harrison,

Prof. Harrison was presented to the

Berry, 20 years old, was found in a
creek near here drowned to death.
He had been missing since early last
week when five white men imper-
sonating officers beat him and sought
to make him pay $20 for “fishing at
night.” Two other colored youths,
with Berry were also held up by the
extortionists. Benjamin Fisher, one
of them, paid the white men $20.
Later it was reported that the men
beat Berry over the head and face and
the youth in fright ran toward the
creek in an effort to escape. Whether
he fell in the creek accidentally and
drowned of fright or whether the
white men drowned him is not known.
A scar was found on his right
forehead, where he had been hit, and
deep lacerations were found on his
upper lip, the wounds said to have
been given him by the impersonators,

his person. In so far as we are con-
cerned, he understands that if he is
ever again guilty of having a gun on
his person in and around the school
grounds that he will be instantly dis-
missed from the services of the
schools. ,
As a matter of fact, I am again is-
suing written instructions to all cus-
todians and all principals advising
them that regardless of the fact of
whether a custodian has a police com-
mission he cannot and must not be
armed on the school grounds. I am
handing you herewith a copy of the
official bulletin which we are sending
to all principals and custodians.
There is no question but that they
have some pretty hard problems
around some of these schools and
there is no doubt but that there are
certain gangs of “hoodlums” who
come around to make trouble but even
so I cannot imagine any occasion that
it would be necessary for a custodian
to be armed. If there is a situation
which he cannot handle then he
should call the police department or
the juvenile department. You may
rest assured that this department will
not countenance these custodians be-
ing on the school grounds armed.
The old game of securing advant-
age over an opponent by. making the
first report of difficulties and thus
preparing a harder task for the man
who comes later, was found to have
exceptions, like all other rules, last
Friday,- despite the fact that the op-
ponent was dead and will never speak
for himself,- when Burrell DeWalt
was placed under arrest and jailed,
charged with the murder of Jeff Rea-
gan, 2003 Whitty.
DeWalt, who is 25, called at the
North Side police station to report a
fight with his brother-in-law, Jeff
Williams was re-arrested March 27,
by Deputy Sheriffs Dinkins and
Spradley. They alleged that he con-
fessed to the murder but be claims
they beat the confession out of him.
The law which Branch said had not
been followed reads, in part:
“The names of all men known to
be qualified voters under the law
shall be written in the jury wheel.”

IN ANNUAL MEET
Little Rock, Ark.—(CNS)—Two at-
tempts have been made recently to
lynch Woodie Williams, alleged bur-
glar and slayer of a white grocery-
man. Police fearing attempts of mob
violence gave out the story the man
had been killed evading arrest. Soon,
however, a group of white men went
to the hospital where Williams had
been taken by officers for treatment
of gunshot wounds, and tried to find
him. They arrived too late. He had
been taken to the penitentiary. A
larger group then proceeded to the
penitentiary where they demanded
the sheriff to let them see the prison-
er. Following these attempts extra
precaution was taken to guard the
man.
RACE MEN OPERATE STATION
Newark, N. J.—For the first time
in its history, the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey, has appointed four
Negroes to operate one of the com-
pany’s stations here.
At the preliminary hearing in Jus-
tice Court, Mrs. Rosa Jackson, 3408
Lamar, who admitted firing the bul-
let which snuffed out the life of
Frank Adams, was released on $500
bail. Mrs. Jackson pleaded self de-
fense.
Adams was shot Sunday evening,
April 17, the bullet entering his head.
He was removed to a local hospital
where he died the following afternoon
about 4 o’clock.
According to the story told by wit-
nesses, Adams began rooming with
Mrs. Lizzie Coleman, mother of Mrs.
Jackson, some time ago, and he and
Mrs. Jackson, who is a widow, be-
came friendly. Adams, however, no
sooner than he was thus accepted by
the family, began to assert his au-
thority, and treated Mrs. Jackson and
he* family with the utmost cruelty.
He is reported to have been frequent-
ly under the influence of strong drink
and while in this condition would
joepardize the lives of not only those
in the house, but of the neighbors as
well.
On the day of the fatal shooting,
Adams had been drinking heavily and
he and Mrs. Jackson had quarreled.
Finally, he became incensed and start-
ed after the woman, who fled to the

todian in question is a sane, safe man

ish thing. I am not trying to defend
him in any way whatsoever. He is
wrong, just as wrong as he can be,
but I think his years of faithful serv-
Adams followed and became crazed
when he found the house locked
against him. He seized a brick and
smashed a rear window, through
which he gained entrance. Once in-
side, he broke open the door leading
to the room where the women were
hiding. Both women started to run
by him and Adams picked up a heavy
iron lamp stand and struck Mrs. Cole-
man on the head laying open a wound
about four inches long. He was ad-
vancing on Mrs. Jackson with his
blood dripping missle and was just
about to hurl it when she fired and
Adams fell, mortally wounded.
When police arrived, they found
the man clutching a knife, which he
had evidently intended to use, but
had neglected to put into action on
spying the iron lamp stand, believ-
ing it to be a deadlier weapon.
Adams came to Houston about two
years ago. He never mentioned his
people or received any messages from
anyone as far as is known, and noth-
ing is known of where he came from
or of his life before reaching here.
He was said to have been under ob-
servation by the police department
here, but no statement could be ob-
tained from him as he died without
regaining consciousness.
ices warrant him being put on proba-
tion and given one more chance.
I simply wanted you to know of our
position in the matter.

74-YEAR-OLD MAN STONED FOR
ATTENTIONS TO DAUGHTER 20
Reagan, 32. He was explaining to
the police that he’d been having trou-
ble with Reagan and told of how Rea-
gan had fought him when he was at
Reagan’s house that night. Just then
the phone rang. Headquarters was
being notified that Reagan had been
found stabbed to death in his home.
DeWalt was immediately arrested and
admitted under questioning that he
had cut his brother-in-law with a
large pocket knife during the course
of the fight, but that he didn’t think
he was much hurt.
Meanwhile, DeWalt is in jail, await-
ing trial for murder, at which time he
will be able to tell about his troubles.
Reagan was buried Monday, April 24,
at Nacogdoches, where the remains
were sent by Clay and Clay Under-
takers.
HANGED TO TREE
BY KANSAS MOB
Kansas City, Mo.—Joe Jackson, 74,
is reported near death as a result of
injuries and a probable fracture of
the skull which he received in •
“chunking battle" during a fight with
Mrs. Julia Banks, 65, who is reported
to have resented Jackson’s alleged at-
tempts to gain the attention of her
daughter, Mrs. Gracie Jones, 20, and
to persuade her to leave her mother
and take her 4-year-old son and live
with him. Young Mrs. Jones who is
separated from her husband, admit-
ted that she had known the aged man
for several years and that she had
gone about with him, but that there
was nothing serious in her intentions
towards him.
Atwood, Kansas.—(CNS)—An im-
mediate investigation conducted per-
sonally by Governor Harry Woodring
of this state, signalized the recent
lynching of a white man here by 200
of his fellow citizens. Using a dif-
ferent procedure from that used by
governors of Southern states on the
occasion of the lynching of Negroes,
Governor Woodring immediately put
all of the state’s investigating and
law enforcement to work to appre-
hend those who participated in the
murder. In other respects, however,
the lynching of the white man, the
first in the state in 12 years, was
carried on in the approved Southern
fashion. Two hundred men took the
prisoner from the sherriff by force,
took him to a lonely tree and hanged
him by the neck until he was dead.
He had been accused of assaulting
and murdering an 8-year-old white
girl.
