And that was too bad for the sena tor. In less time than it took to rec ord what had happened. Huey was on the floor, his eye was the color of Turner's first and the musician was nursing bruised knuckles. Hrtreau in Disorder That’s ail there was to it. As a matter of fact there wasn’t time for aay more, m the jjpod senator, long on wind bat shaft in the gentle art of protecting his orbits, had beaten a hasty and unceremonious retreat. So j rapid was his retreat that he didn’t even taken tune to thank his host or to tell him what a good time he had enjoyed twitting the servants—that! is until hi sadden collision with a fmt. immediately upon hi* departure the daily press began * search lor the mas who had suddenly made himself * hero. At first newspaper men tried (> rrt a stst\nent out of the senator imaelf, but that big man from the South was so swift of foot that he rendered himself invisible to the eye. “Here he is!” somebody cried. And before the reporters could reach the spot the cry was changed to “There he goes!” la be meantime Mr Turn er had quietly proceeded with the party and had as quietly departed for his home in Harlem. Those who knew what had happened kept quiet about it. and those who didn't know wanted to find oat so they could also keep qnseC T”»* next time "Kingfish” Long was he showed up in Milwaukee at the hoard from was two days laser when convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars He was wearing a long face, a black *ye, aad was telling a wsird ■tory about a gang of men (black handlers i holding him while another Have Yoor Notary Public Work Done at The OMAHA ^^GUTO^ffice^ Dry Cleaning The Cut throat who has been ruining your dresses and such for so long in this town is now out of the picture. Come back to the old STAND. BY. Our CASH AND CARRY prices are as low as any and our DE LIVERY charge is moderate. BDHOLM AND SHERMAN LAl'NDEREKS AND DRY CLEANERS gang beat him. There was a number so great that he couldn’t count them. “Maybe it was the number that John saw,” one veteran whispered to an other. “I think he had better see a doctor,” the other veteran answered. And after telling his story (which nobody believed) the senator pro ceeded to say what he thought of newspapers and reporters. “We chased the polecats out of Louisiana,” he said, “and they came up here and became reporters.” The implication being here that it .was a reporter who was responsible for his brown skinned optic. Vets Repudiate Speech Following his Milwaukee speech, which to the credit of the veterans they hastened to disown and apolo gize for, he collected his baggage, left the hotel (without paying his hill), sneaked into Chicago and just as quietly sneaked out again. But up here in New York the talk goes merrily on. The white press is still looking for the man who black ed Huey Long’s eye—or is pretending to ae looking for him. Huey, it is stat ed, has offered a reward for the name of the man who smote him — if said man will present himself in Louis iana. And the Sand Point Bath club has let it be known that from hence forth and forever the blustering senator from Louisiana will be per sona non grata at that club. In other words he will always find the latch string on the inside to him and the key in the lock. Still more simply put. he never be a guest there again. Another interesting sidelight on Huey's fistic activites came to light Tuesday also when New Orleans re- ■ porters gave out the fact that Huey has been taking boxing lessons at the \ New Orleans Athletic club for the past six weeks. Apparently he was in training for his big bout, which ended with one blow and one black eye, with Huey Long on the receiving end of both. n also was divulged this week that Tanner’s conques over Huey was about the eighth bout in which he has engaged and i„ which he came out second best. There is one story about * 70 year old exgovernor forc ing the “Kingfish” to turn on the air in a New Orleans hotel a few years *go. Another man, a Shreveport law yer, also landed a safe one on the senator's eye, after which Brother Long staged a one man race. In his time Huey is said to have challenged the worst and the best of them, but due to the fact that it always takes two to make a fight, and Huey just couldn’t make his feet remain still long enough to return a blow, usual ly managed to escape with just one blow to his credit—or should one say discredit. Dallas Tanner is a hero in New -rork. Although usually quiet, unas suming, he has been forced to retire from the admiring gaze of his friends in Harlem. And the sentiment among them is that since they couldn’t have been there to strike the blow they regret only that thag were not there to see it. Black-Eyed Huey Long Poor Huey (pronounced “Hooey”) Long, United States senator from Louisiana by the grace of the Unit ed States Constitution and the dumb ness of the Louisiana electorate, is now nursing a black eye. He re this dark adornment some time Sat urday night when he allowed his left orb to collide violently with the busi ness end of a man's fist. And that’s what you may call talking to Huey in Huey's language. But how did Huey get that black eye? After all, you know quite well that he was born with two white ones —at least that’s what he thinks. And you know further that Senator Craw fish Long would not willingly adept a shade for his eye which suggests a race he so despises. According to the story going the rounds, he stopped over in New York at the exclusive Sand Point Bath club just to have a bath. Stories differ as to just what happened. In fact, we do not know whether the “Crawfish” really had a b&th at all before the discoloration * * * took place. It appeared that the great “white BUEHLER BROS. . .

Hooey further mistook service for servility and thereby hangs the tale.. The “white hopeless” started out with a blaster and ended up with a blister. The blister made its appearance in the form of a healthy hickey on the side of his head in the vicinity of one of his optics. After the cultured and re fined senator had been untangled from the fist of a guest whom he had mistaken for one of the bath attend ants, it was discovered that Huey was not as good a fighter as he was a talker. It was also discovered that while he could give it he just couldn’t take it. * * * The lacing which took place (in the vicinity of his eye) made Huey doubly sore, especally since the eye1 immediately took on the complexion of the fist that it had encountered, i When the senator had been lifted from the floor, it was for a moment difficult to tell to just which race he belonged. Amid the confusion some one yelled “Fire," as a result of which both a physician and the fire department responded. The pulmotor was not necessary, however, for mak ing a be* line for the nearest exit. For several hours pandemonium reigned. Neither police nor press could locate Huey. It seemed that the impact of the blow had so disturbed his mental equilibrium, to say noth ing of his physical equilibrium, that for several hours he continued to run around in circles. 1^ finally, in one of his lucid moments, struck the Mohawk trail and ended up in Milwaukee where he had heard the rumors of u gathering of veterans including a number of natives who speak his lan guage. From this apparent point of van tage, the senator began to issue statements, purporting to explain to his constituents in Louisiana, espe cially and to the nation in general, that there was no overt act on his part to turn black—that it was rath er a case of bad judgment in measur ing distance. However, we must con gratulate the senator in that he sought t® throw the cloak of pro tection around the Colored race by placing the responsibility for his sudden predisposition to change com plexion to a bunch of gangsters whom he charged with making the assault. In explaining the affair the senator said that from the multiplicity of contacts which came his way it would have been utterly impossible for one man to have reached him so many times in the short period that elap sed before he took the count. He ev en suggested that tha gangsters were members of a “black rect, as the evidence shows the only discrepancy being in the number of hands em ployed. In the meantima the mystery grows While it is known that one man with a black hind is nursing his knuckles, the Pinkertons, the Burns detectives and Scotland Yard have been unable, to date, to uncover the other alleged members of said gang. It is mystify ing, indeed. Poor Hooey.

If we oppose slaugh ter of humanity, we must take an active stand. We dare not compro mise or stall on the excuse of political differences. Pacifists, Communists, Socialists, liberals — every one who pretends to war opposition must fight and fight actively. The time for pas sive conferences and treaties is past. They have all failed. We must fight <>n concrete lines. Stop the trans portation of war materials.” PRISONER FLOGGED AND HANGED TO TREE SMITHLAND, Ky _ A report of the flogging of Louis Skinner, pri soner who was forcibly removed’ from the Livingston county jail, was on its ■way to Governor Ruby Laffon Thurs day, dispatched by Circuit Judge Charles H.

ATLANTA NEGROES PROTEST DISPLACEMENTS BY WHITE WORKERS ATLANTA, Ga. — (CNS) — The “New Deal” under the workings of the NRA causes replacements of com petent Negro workers by whites in instances here and citizens in mass meeting make a strong plea for in clusion of “Negroes without discrim ination in President Roosevelt’s New Deal.” At this largely attended mass meeting resolutions were adopted! condemning as “unjust and in viola tion” of the national recovery pro gram any such displacements.

SHOULD BATTLE LYNCH ERS WELL AS KIDNAPERS WASHINGTON—(CNS)— “Under the new regime, lynchers in the South have gotten off to a head start with little fear of molestation,” writes a correspondent to the Washington Daily News. Continuing this public spirited citi zen inquires: “Why must Negroes, who have worked and suffered without compen sation for hundreds of years to deve lop this nation; who have fought and died in all of our nation’s wars, be treated this way?" “We sympathize with the German Jew, but ought we not purge our nation of racial injustices before we can effectively protest Germany’s sin against a minority group? “This is a national sin. “The Federal Government will override ‘states rights’ in dealing with kidnapers and gangsters, but states will still have the right to allow their colored citizens to be lynched, with out interference from the Federal Government, which is sworn to pro tect the constitutional rights of all Americans." HOLD KISS 3 HOURS TO WIN WORLD TITLE NEW YORK — Another famous smack, but of a different variety, was recorded Wednesday when a blonde young woman and a dark-browed young man held a kiss for 3 hours and 2 minutes to win the world en durance title.

LOOKING BACK Gadding Children By V|detta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) Man is a social being. In thi3 re spect children of the human race manifest the social trait quite early. They like to play. They like to visit and receive visits. Thifcs is helpful, within a limit; but it is a mistake t» allow children to cultivate the gad ding habit until they want never to stay at home Don’t you want your children at home “to themselves” sometimes! Well, your neighbors do, also, some times. Then this habit has a way of fixing it3elf. The little girl who gads will make a big gadder. If mother is not watchful she will not want to do anything at home She will come in the front door, throw down her books and her wraps and run out the back door. My mother’s plan was to assign certain tasks that must be done, be fore we could go out, and to limit the time we might remain away. Also, we had our days out, and more days in. Of course, different mothers use different methods, but the habit should he curbed—and early in life. Shirts Finished 8c When Finished ont of Wet Wash—Thrifty—R. D. Linen Bdlea.
