ITLANTA FEARS ACUTE RACIAL | CRISIS IS NEAR jMany Sober-Minded CitiI zens Think City Is Sitting on Powder Keg. ■ Thi* U one of a eerie* of article*, on | the racial problem in the old aooth. BY MORRIS DE TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent L ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 26.—There Be many soberminded men in AtBnU who believe the city is spending the suT.ime "*Uanjj on a R>wder” keg, so acute do they co"Hder agitation of the racial problem Bre. plonly a few weeks ago, it generally |S admitted, effective action by the Ijblice, cool-headed counsel by the Bess, and careful manipulation by §|he y vernment of the community parrowly averted what might have pcen a bloody outbreak. Today the same elements which made for trouble at that time, remain and probably they will long remain. “What would it take to start trouble?’’ the correspondent asked one of the best informed students of the situation. “A 25 per cent increase in unemployment would do it,” he said, “and so would a fit of hysterics by an irresponsible woman.” Rumblings for Months For several months there have been rumblings in and around Atlanta. Then seven men beat to death the [son of a Negro minister, accusing him of having insulted a white woman. Six of the seven were arrested. Two days later the home of it he dead Negroe’s father was Iburncd. I It became an open secret that Imany citizens, at that juncture, be|gan oiling their guns. I One of the six men was brought ro trial in a courtroom where onenaif of the spectators section was allotted to whites and one-half to Negroes. The case went to the jury on a Saturday. The towm was full of idle men, some out of work, some enjoying their Saturday holiday.

Spent Weary Night Just how many of those idle men were armed and ready for trouble never will be known, but it is a fact that Atlanta spent an uneasy night. Police made ready for any eventuality. Literally, hundreds of more law-abiding citizens, refused to leave their homes homes. By 1# p. m. streets ordinarily crowded on a Saturday night, wore n£ar deserted, while others were given over to groups of sullen men which police did their best to dis- > perse quietly. Negroes remained within their houses and shacks in the sections of town allotted to [them. I But by Monday the temper of the Irity had cooled an dit was then, land only then, that the court perImitted the jury’s verdict in the nnurder case to be unsealed and read. It was a verdict of guilty. Appeals to Public With the reading of the verdict, G. Everett Millican, acting mayor, felt the situation so acute as to require him to issue a public appeal to the citizenry to “set their faces against every person and faction seeking to embroil the races in trouble.” At the same time the colored committee on church co-operation one cf the strongest Negro bodies in Atlanta, apealed to the Negro population.

“This committee admonishes and advises the colored citizens of Atlanta against giving currency to unfounded rumors and to exercise that self-control and demeanor,” it said, • expected of all good citizens to the end that peace, good will, law and I order shall prevail in our evommun- j tty.” FRENCH TO PROTEST NEW TARIFF EFFECTS Complaints Being Drafted for Presentation to United States. ■ Bn Scripps-Howard Xcwsvapcr Alliance PARIS, France, Aug. 26.—What may prove to be a formidable array of complaints against the new Smoot-Hawley tariff bill is being compiled by the French minister of commerce from practically every industry in France. Since the new tariff act became effective, each industry claiming to be damaged has prepared a statement for the minister of commerce, and he is engaged in investigating these statements, and determining which complaints are well grounded. It is expected that when he completes his work the French government, will make representations to the United States government that it has been discriminated against by the new tariff bill, in comparison with other countries.

HERE IS A SHOW THAT HAS HOKUM Would Like to Know the Name of the Clown With Marsh and Archer at the Lyric Theater. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IN one of my unguarded moments I want to know the terrible pair of pants and the well kept hair of a man. Might iust be a silly problem with Marsh and Archer, but I want to know the name. Which one is the man with the wide pants and the one with the hair of polished descent. Rather want to tell you about a team, Marsh and Archer. Here is burlesque of the hokum type. It rather gets into your mind.

The man with the hair done right and the man with the pants that coidd hold a baby elephant. That is burlesque of an order of the old school. In real words it is hokum of the very common school. And yet it is artistry when they want to be right. Their singing. Their fun in song. All right. A family group called the Robbins Family which starts terribly. No individual artists here. When they get ensemble and do acrobatic

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEMOCRATS SEE CHANCE TO WIN CONGRESS RULE Many Victories Forecast in Races for House and Senate. Bn Krrinn*-Hnu:nrrl Xcicsvaucr Alliance WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.—Control of house or senate in the next congress, and possibly both branches, is hoped for by the Democrats as a result of optimistic reports received today concerning the chances of their candidates in various sections. Democratic leaders admit they are not enthusiastic over the prospects of capturing either branch. They would prefer to let the party in power retain control, but to have such a strong representation that they can harass the administration’s legislative program, with the aid of G. O. P. insurgents, and enter the 1932 national contest with the argument that President Hoover’s four ; years have been barren of accomplishment. Need Nine Seats Should the Democrats take over one branch or both, they either would have to fall in line with Hoover’s program, or furnish the Republicans with the alibi that divided counsels and partisan opposition had been responsible for failure to carry out their pledges. Nine new seats are necessary to give the Democrats control of the senate, and they are confident of winning six. They look for victories in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Kentucky, I ;la ware and Oklahoma. In four of these states former Democratic senators are running again. They are Gerry of Rhode Island, Bayard of Delaware, Neely of West Virginia and Gore of Oklahoma. Steck Expected to Lose

Neither party has named its nominee in Massachusetts, where Senator Gillett is retiring. In Kentucky the Democrats have nominated M. N. Logstii against Senator Robison, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused when Frederick J. K. Sackett was named ambassador to Germany. It is expected generally that Representative Dickinson, the Republican nominee, will defeat Senator Steck in lowa. But in South Dakota Governor W. J. Bulow (Dem.) is said to have a chance to defeat Senator McMaster, and R. J. Bulkley is reported to have an outside possiblity against Senator McCullough (Rep.) in Ohio. Other states where the Democrats are praying hard, but making no predictions, are Illinois New Hampshire and Minnesota. 55,000 Loss in Bam Fire By Timm Knee ini COLUMBUS, Ind„ Aug. 26.—A large barn on the farm of Mrs. Margaret Cox was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of more than $5,000.

SERV-U? Motorists Watch Times KONJOLA MAKES FINE RECORD IN STUBBORN CASE New Medicine Brings First And Only Relief After Years of Misery. Strange as it often seems, Konjola, the new and different medicine, appears at the peak of its powers in those stubborn cases that have defied all other measures for relief.

MRS. NELLIE B. BELL

—Photo bv National Studio. This great compound has become America’s most talked-of medicine because of its record in the relief of aliments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. The case of Mrs. Nellie B. Bell, 2850 North Denny street, Indianapolis, is but one of many with which the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, is familiar. Here is her statement: “I was in poor health for many years. My entire system seemed to be weak and ailing. The simplest foods caused me misery and I became so bloated after meals that my heart action was affected. For four months 1 could not lie down and was forced to sit erect, even at night. My liver was sluggish and my kidneys gave me a great deal of trouble. Finally my feet and limbs became so swollen that I could not wear my shoes. “I tried many medicines and treatments wihout benefit until a friend suggested Konjola. By the time I had finished the third bottle of this medicine I felt better in every way. My stomach no longer bothers me as it did and I am able to do my own work. My liver and kidneys are again working well and my color is good. I have gained steadily in weight and strength.” It is the same glad story whenever this great medicine is given a chance to make good. The Konjola man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily. FREE SAMPLES GIVEN —Advertisement.
