WHITE WOMAN BECOMES BRIDE OF NEGRO POET Margery Latimer, Novelist, and Jean Toomer Join Carmel Art Colony. By United Press CARMEL, Cal., March 18.—A new American race without creed or color barriers was envisioned today for the benefit of Carmel's artist colony by Jean Toomer, part Negro poet of Chicago, and his white bride, the former Margery Latimer, novelist. As exponents of a higher and better life—of which there are many in Carmel—the honeymooners were welcomed with mingled curiosity and awe. Just as Toomer foresees for all America at some distant date, there was no racial ostracism here. Both came here after their marriage four months ago to finish books based on the experiment—he a more or less technical study, she a novel. Toomer, who wears a small mustache, parts his black hair in the middle and affects white shirts open at the collar, was enthusiastic about the experiment. Claimed Barriers Erased Pour men and four women," including a married couple, lived for a time at Portage in a three-room cottage. The women slept in one room, the men in the other. Nights they discussed their own psychological behavior. In support of his belief that, the American melting pot eventually will produce a race without social, religious or racial barriers, Toomer cited what he termed the current breakdown of biological barriers. ' Americans probably do not realize it, but there are no racial barriers any more,” he said, "because there are so many Americans with strains of Negro, Indian and oriental blood. "As 1 see America, it is like a great stomach into which are thrown the elements which make the life blood. From this source is coming a distinct race of people. They will achieve tremendous work of art, literature and music. They will not be white, black or yellow—just Americans.” "Our Affair” Says Wife Mrs. Toomer, a graduate of Columbia university and a friend of Zona Gale, believes her marriage "doesn’t make any difference to the world." "You do not protest against a person's religion,” she said. "Why should you judge by their color? I and hundreds of others have taken my husband for what he is—a brilliant man.” Toomer s giandfather was Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchbeck, part-Negro, who was prominent in the “carpet bag” era in Louisiana, serving as Governor and congressman. Toomers novel “Cain,” published in 1923, attracted wide attention. Mrs. Toomer has published three novels. ASK SUSPECTS’ RETURN Tolice Accuse Tair Held in Ohio of Robbing Movie Theaters Here.

FASTS 19 DAYS IN PROTEST ON LACK OF WORK Scholar With 3 Degrees, Master of 8 Languages Slowly Is Starving. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 19.—Refusing a temporary job, Dr. Frederick F. Wolter, 57, holder of three university degrees, today entered the nineteenth day of his starvation protest against unemployment. Wolter, a trained librarian and master of eight languages, says he is determined to starve himself to death unless he is offered a permanent "suitable” position. The temporary job offered Wolter was cataloging some books in a college library here at sls a week. Wolter declared the salary was too low, and besides “it would not accomplish anything.” He denied, however, that his selfimposed starvation should be considered as suicide. He said: "My action must not be regarded as an attempt at suicide but as the logical course of action required by circumstance. I am ready to break my fast as soon as a suitable position is assured me or means of a decent, though frugal, livelihood are placed at my disposal. Prefers to Starve Rapidly "If I am destined to a life of starvation, I prefer to starve ly“To take up this course of action I not only consider it my personal right, but my prescribed duty as an American citizen, in order to arouse the public conscience by directing attention to social abuses and thus giving an impetus to reforms.” Authorities agreed that Wolter had a legal right to starve himself to death if he wanted to do so. W. W. Bride, District of Columbia counsel, looked up the law, and found no statutes or precedents which would permit the police or agencies to interfere. Wolter today weighed 126 pounds, having lost about one pound daily since he began fasting. He has had to give up walking outdoors and now finds it difficult to climb the stairs to his little third-floor room at the Salvation Army hotel. He has enough money to pay his room rent there until March 28. According to Dr. L. R. Thompson of the public health service, starvation usually brings death when the body weight has dropped 40 per cent below normal. In Wolter’s case this would be when he has lost fifty-eight pounds. “Experiences of a Scholar” Dr. Thompson said the most celebrated starvation case in medical history was that of a man named Merlatti, who recovered after fast- ; ing for 50 days. During the second week of his fast, Dr. Wolter wrote a 68-page statement recounting his experiences and outlining his views of American life. His statement bore the title, “The Experiences of a Scholar in Washington." He told how he came to this country from New Zealand in 1924, secured a position in the Library of Congress, and then resigned in 1926 because employes whose qualifications he considered much inferior to

Royal Brew By United Press LONDON, March 18.—The prince of Wales became a brewer during a visit to London's east end, but his beer may not be on the market for thirty years, and then may be sold at auction. The brewing experience became known today. King Edward, the prince's grandfather, brewed a portion of “king's beer" in 1902. It was auctioned for £6O a bottle. The “prince’s beer” was expected to become equally famous. The prince of Wales did his brewing on a visit to Charrington’s brewery, in the east end, and then made a tour lasting four hours to workers’ homes in the district.'

his own, were promoted over him. He told how he had appealed to various welfare agencies. They were ready to give him food and shelter, but it was a scholarly position that Dr. Wolter wanted. From time to time he worked at odd jobs. NEGRO GIANT TO DIE ON JULY 1 Ulysses Mack, Gary Killer, Loses in High Court. Losing his last court battle for his life. Ulysses Mack, giant Gary Negro attacker and slayer, must dii in the state prison electric chair July 1, the state supreme court ruled today. Mack, who has had several stays of execution, was convicted of robbing, assaulting and slaying, with an ax, Mrs. Josephine Odorizzi in Gary in 1929. Conviction of the Porter circuit court wi s upheld by the high court in an opinion written by Judge Clarence R. Martin. The appeal charged Mack did not receive a fair trial and the slayer, an illiterate, was forced to sign a prepared confession, with his mark at the point of a gun. It also was alleged to the supreme court that one of the trial jurors said there “was no chance for Mack, because he hasn’t proved his innocence. “I watched him on the witness stand; he’s a bad egg.” Governor Harry G. Leslie has the power to commute the death penalty to life imprisonment.
