Head What Others Say j Allred Jones Makes Statement Mr C C Galloway Acting Editor of The Omaha Guide, My dear Friend: In fairness and justice to myself, my family, and my friends, I am giv_ ing you the following facts regarding my going to the hospital ir. answer to ar article that appeared in your pa. per on July 17. 1. I have lived in Omaha for 45 years, during which time 1 have work ed for, and with the best class of peo_ 2. Most of these people were drinking people, and, I must confess, I, too, have been a drinking man for 46 yean. 3. During this time I have held some of the most responsible positions and have managed some of the larg. «*t catering jobs as any man in my group who was engaged in the same line of business. 4. I feel, and believe, that I have given more legitimate employment to l my race, than any man in the city of Omaha 5. I voluntarily entered the hos_ pital to take the cure which I was told would cure one of the drink hab it, and at the Bame time to take a much needed rest 6. I wish here and now to em_ phatically deny the rumor that is a float in some quarters that I am in_ sane, or have ever been accused or xamined for insanity Dr Herbert Wiggins, my family physicians, Dr G Alexander Young, and the physicians and nurses at the hospital will gladly guarantee this statement. Signed: Alfred Jones, 2811 Cald well Street. Good Ship, ‘‘Valley Queen” Thinks to Skipper A A Powell ana hi' good ship, “Valley Queen,” Nebraskans no longer need be known as “landlubbers.” Omaha is now the Port of Omaha, the port itself being located at the foot of Douglas street. For the past week the three.deck, 180.foot pleasure boat has been ply_ ing nightly up and down the Mis_ aoun, loaded to the gun’les with sight.seers and merry.makers. The first few trips have been confined mostly to mere jaunts upstream and back. but Bu.'iness Manager Ray Marr said Wednesday that the river channel is deepening so rapidly that a cr. . - of 1> or 20 miles is on sche_ duJe for the week end customers. According to the Pilot C H Van Hom. “Valley Queen” had her troubles on the trip up from Kansas City. It was a long struggle against tricky currents, sandbars, shoals and an uncharted channel Only once, however, did she go aground That bappeoed at the mouth of the Pappio near LaPlatte. Several Omaha men are said to have put up $15,000 for the pleasure boat, which they will operate under the came of the Omaha Navigation Company, soon to be incorporated. With dimensions of 180 feet by 36, the three.decker will accommodate 700 passengers On the first deck are engines and a bar, while the second has a dance floor 24 by 60 feet, a cafe and a salon. The top, or observation deck is completely open. A nine piece orchestra furnishes music for. the nightly dances Thus far officials of the boat are well pleased with the enthusiasm Omaha and vicinity has shown in patronizing the excursions. On its maiden voyage last Saturday even_ ing the “Valley Queen” tvas forced to make two trips to accommodate the crowd Officers of the Omaha Navigation Company were reported to be as fol lows: Captain Powell, president; Ar_ thur Whalen, lawyer, vice-president, and John Atkins, Twenty.eighth and Franklin streets, secretary. All of them have expressed their intention of keeping the boat free from the rowdy element. “Th rough neck crowd will not be tolerated,” they announced. The present schedule for the “Valley Queen" calls for nightly ex_ cursions leaving the foot of Douglas street at 9 p m , and returning at 12 midnight Dancing, however, will continue until 12:30 a m The boat is also accommodating Saturday and Sunday afternoon excursionists.

This show of saddle and harness horses and ponies is being spon sored by the State Fair Associa tion and The Saddle and Bridle Club of Lincoln. Prize mounts with their riders, and blue blooded steppers with their drivers have already entered J what promises to be one of the greatest exhibitions of handsome and intelligent horses in this sec tion of the country. The prize offerings are liberal enough to insure the presence of a large number of arena horses from this and neighboring states. Five gaited saddle horses will be fea tured, and hunters, jumpers and roadsters will be put thru their paces for the entertainment of the i galleries. I ! Kill Innocent Boys (Continued from page One) show that Dan Pippen, Jr., the first ^Jegro arrested for the murder, was working all day in the field of Will.! ie Jimson on the day of the murder. When Dan Pippin, Sr., told the offi cers that his son had worked with him all day, the elder Pippin was jailed and held for “obstructing in_ vestigation of the crime.” The arrest of young Pippen was made after a white man who owed him some mon ey said he saw the boy near the scene of the crime. Jimson was jailed but On what charge no one could find out. All five were indicted by a grand jury. A. T Harden was arrested be_ cause a rumor spread that he had seen Pippin commit the crime, but Harden denied stoutly that he had ever said or even thought such a thing. Elmore “Honey” Clark, the third of the accused Negroes, was arrest ed because he was found dozing un_ der a bridge near the scenes of the crime several days after its commis sion. There was no actual evidence to connect any of the trio with the crime The state militia was called and th» I L D lawyers were escorted out of town. The sheriff refused to be responsible for their lives follow_ i ing threats, however, not withstand ing the fact that a mob stormed the jail in search of the boys and were told that the prisoners had been sent to Birmingham, three deputy sher_ iffs in an automobile undertook to “protect” them without the aid of the troops and the lynching of two; resulted 10 miles from Bessemer, i The third prisoner was shot; Fifteen bullets were found in the body of Pippen, Jr. The three deputy sheriffs failed to fire one shot in the defense of their prisoners. The leader of the mob reached into the police auto and yanked the boys out while the offi_ cers stood idly by and made no move.! ' Tuscaloosa is the seat of the Uni versity of Alabama. Two Negroes are dead, three fear for their lives because of Alabama’s indifference to its Negro citizens. TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—Martia law holds sway in this town following the lynching of two Negroes near here late Saturday night foy an armed mob, on the Bessemer_Tuscaloosa j highway, which had seized three Ne.| groes from armed deputy sheriffs who were trasporting the prisoners to Birmingham for “safe keeping.” The two lynch victims were mere boys. Dan Pippen, Jr., was 18 and A. T. Harden, 16 The one of the trio who escape was Elmore “Honey” Clark, 28, who is thought to have fought his way free from the mob which executed the two boys. The bodies of Pippen, Jr., and Har den were found near the highway in a desolate neighborhood near Besse mer a few hours after they had been seized from the officers. Each body had been riddled with bullets from guns of various calibres.; There were 13 wounds in the body of Pippen and 15 in that of Harden. Clark Surrenders Clark was found Tuesday after a frenzied search by officers since Sun 1 day failed to locate him. He is said to! have given himself up to police offi. ; cers whom he believed would not de_ j liver him to another mob. He was only slightly -wounded. When he was taken nito custody Judge Henry B Foster appealed to Governor Miller for national guards men to prevent a further outbreak of violence.

Not since 1884 has Tuscaloosa coun ty witnessed such lawless mob viol, ence and lynching. The three Negroe had j^een arrest ed and charged with th rape and murder of a 21-year_old Vaudine Maddox whose body was found in a lonely patch of woods in rural Tus_ caloosa county in June The white woman is said to have left her home on June 12 to visit a sick friend less than a mile away. Two days later her sisters, Gladys, 19 and Odis, 10. found her mutilated body in a ravine 100 yards from the road on which she had last been seen. Arrest Pippen June 16 Dan Pippen, Jr., was ar rested in connection with the case although no evidence has yet been found which linked him with the death of the woman. The day following A T Harden was arrested, also on slim evidence. Clark was arrested June 23 when officers said they found him sleeping under a bridge near the scene of the crime. Clark protested that he was merely dozing under the bridge and did not know that a crime had been committed in the neighborhood. All three were charged with mur_ der in the first degree and indict ments were returned against them by the grand jury. On June 21 a mob collected at the jail but dispersed when informed that the men had been taken to Bir. mingham for safe keeping. On July 29, on the eve of the date set for the trial, Judge Foster nam ed John D. McQueen, Fleetwood Rice and Rueben Wright to assist in hand_ ling the defense. All these attorneys are local white men. Troops for Lawyers At this juncture three lawyers em ployed by the International Labor Defense appeared in behalf of the accused Negroes. Judge Foster ruled that because their presence inflamed public sen_ timent that they should not be per mitted to appear for the defense. Pippen’s father, who •was being held as a material witness, was advised that the I - L D. lawyers would do his son’s case more harm than good. The father then told the judge that the I L D lawyers would not rep_ resent his son. National guard troops had to foe summoned to escort the three white I L D lawyers out of town. Two of them, Irving Schawb and Allen Taub W'ere from New York The third was Frank Irwin of Birmingham. Immediately following the discov ery of the bullet.riddle bodies of Pip. pen and Harden, Judge Foster asked -- I for an immediate grand jury inves tigation of what he described in his telegram to the governor as a “hor rible crime.” Mob Was Masked The deputy sheriff from whom the two boys were taken said the mob members were masked and that only one of them spoke. They said they would be unable to identify any of them. For that reason it is thought unlikely that grand jury investiga tion will get little result in the way of indictments aganist those guilty of the murders of the two Negroes. Sheriff Fayette Shamblin charged that the recent visit of Irving Schawb and Allan Taub of New York, and Frank Irwin of Birmingham, all rep_ resenting the Intrenational Labor Defense, to Tuscaloosa where they made an unsuccessful effort to rep resent the three Negroes stirred racial feeling which caused the lynch_ ing of two of them Saturday night. “Took Precautions” He said “We took many precautions! to prevent anything of this nature.” He failed to explain what the “many precautions” were. Judge Henry B Foster, before whom the three Negroes were to have been tried, also blames “inter-' ference on the part of I L D ” forj | the mob outrage here. From New York a telegram signed j)y William Patterson, national secre_ tary of the I L D , came which charged Judge Foster and Sheriff Shamblin with responsibility of the lynching. It read: “Hold Judge Foster and Sheriff Shamblin directly responsible for or ganization of lynch mob which mur. dered Pippen and Harden. Demand immediate persons concerned and im mediate prosecution and enforcement of death penalty. Can prove mob in_ ! citement by officials.” Say It Is Plot At the same time, Frank Spector, assistant national secretary, issued a statement saying, in part: “A lynch spirit has been whipped up in Tuscaloosa for weeks, ever since it was announced that the I L D , had been asked to enter the case These boys were being railroaded in one of the crudest lynch frame-ups ever perpetuated This was part of a program of terror against the Negro es of Tuscaloosa, who have been bear ing the full weight of the losses of the cotton plow.under program and j in whom resentment against robbery by their landloi'ds was rising high. “As soon as it was learned that the I L D was to come into the case a program of terrorization was be gun, to prevent the exposure of the ' frameup which was becoming inevit. ! ahle-Finally, the courtroom was i Pack'd with a lynch mob and under i this pressure, Pippen and his parents were forced to say they did not want the I L D , but wanted local law. yers.” WRIGHT BARRED NEGRO DOC TORS. REPORT ADMITS NEW YORK—(CNA) — That Dr Louis Wright used his position in the Harlem Hospital to limit the oppor_ tunities of Negro doctors and block ed the admission of graduates of Negro medical schools is admitted in the secret report of the N A. A C. P , investigation committee. Through the collaboration of the N A A C. P leadership with Tammany, the re_ port is being kept secret and may not be releasd until after the September primaries, if at all. The report further admits that Wright owed his position as secretary of the Harlem Hospital medical board to the influences of Ferdinand Q Morton’s United Colored Democracy.

The secret report reads, in part: “It has been repeatedly stated by many, and not denied, that the po_ sition was secured for Dr Wright through the influence of his friend, a member of the Municipal Civil Ser vice Commission, who is recognized as the Tammany Hall leader among Negroes of Harlem. There seems to be no doubt, moreover, that Dr Wright’s promotion to the status of full visiting (surgeon) was due to political influence.” Wright, who with Dr Connors, white, has acted as political boss of the hospital, was placed on the board in the “reorganization” of 1930, en_ gineered by Wright, Morton and Connors, as an excuse for firing two doctors who had preferred charges of inefficiency, incompetence and mis managment against Connors.
