San Antonio.—The 44th annual ses.
! library where all grand lodge sessions
were held. .
The U. B. F. cabinet meeting and
Saturday, the Negroes of Houston
showed whether they want to vote in
the Democratic primary. They be-
gan to present themselves at the polls
as soon as the polls opened. If they
were refused the right to vote, they
took the name of the election judge
and the address and number of the
voting precinct. Then they left quiet-
ly.
COURT DECISION
ON NEGRO VOTE ,
BAR DELAYED
San Antonio.—The Fourth Court of
Civil Appeals heard argument Wed-
nesday in the case of C. A. Booker of
San Antonio, who won a mandatory
injunction in the District Court at
San Antonio against the Bexar Coun-
ty Executive Committee, enjoining it
from preventing his voting. It is ex-
pected that the court will hand down
its decision within a week.
Booker sought an injunction from
the United States District Court,
But, they didn’t go home. They
went to the nearest telephone and
called the Harris County Negro Dem-
ocratic Club’s office or went in per-
son, and reported. If they were per-
mitted to vote they reported that, if
not, they reported that. These peo-
ple were calling and coming to the
club’s office all day. Through their
reports, the club had an accurate
check on what was happening
throughout the city. All told, six pre-
cincts were opened to Negroes in
Houston. Hundreds of Negroes vot-
cd and .have their poll tax receipts
stamped to show it.
* The Negroes kept presenting them-
selves all day. . The election judges
were excited and nervous instead of
the Negroes. Some of the judges
and clerks were very nice. The of-
ficials at Taylor School were as court-
eous and civil when they were turn-
ing Negroes down ns they were when
they had the polls open to Negroes. ---------, -------,------------
They showed J. B. (Shorty) Lubbock’s court, granted the mandatory injunc-
letter, which ordered them to stop let- tion. The Executive Committee ap-

Judge T. M. Kennerly sitting, against
the Bexar County Executive Com-
mittee. Judge Kennerly held that the
Executive Committee’s contemplated
action was illegal, but that the in-
junction sought was in effect a prayer
for a mandamus and his court could
not grant mandamuses.
Four Negroes were drawn on the
petit jury to serve in the United
States District Court for the South-
ern District of Texas, sitting at Hous-
ton. Three of them were selected and
served in the case of Adge Robertson
vs. the United States of America, a
case involving a war risk insurance
policy.
It is many years since a Negro serv-
ed on a case in the United States Dis-
trict Court here. The Negroes select-
ed in the case were R. L. Andrews, A.
Richard and John Codwell. The case
was not finished because the judge
was prevented by unavoidable cir-
cumstances from returning to the
bench after he left the court room

decisions of the state courts over the

SPOUSE BEATER
GETS WHIPPING
to get $2000 in five and ten dollar
bills. When he had them, he was to
put a flag out in front of his house
so the “Knights of the Three Match-
es" would know he was ready. Then,
he would receive other instructions.
He went to the police. Then he
talked to the postmaster and a bank-
er. They suggested that he pretend
to go through with the thing. He got
a money sack and left the bank, as if
he had the money. He was protected
night and day by police. The next
day, he got a second call. The plan
was for the operator to listen in and
buzz the chief of police but the ope-only crime punishable at the whipping
rator missed the call. The officer post, in the state of Maryland,
who was on guard at the store heard,
but the chief had kept two motor- , . ...
cycle cops at the station day and that her busband struck her, kicked
night to hop when the operator shout- her in the stomach and threw her

Ellicot City, Md.—( CNS )—Five
lashes at the whipping post were ad-
ministered to James Barnes, a young
Negro sentenced for beating his wife.
The lashes were administered by
Sheriff George G. Day, Jr., at the di-
rection of the court. The sentence
was delivered by Magistrate Caleb D.
Rogers of Ellicot City. Barnes was
the first person in the last 40 years to
be sentenced to the whipping post in
Howard County. Wife beating is the

TONY B. WORSHAM, FIFTH WARD
RESTAURANTEUR, SHOT DOWN BY
UNKNOWN ASSAILANT IN STREET
While police comb the city and
question many suspects, the murderer
of Tony B. Worsham, well known 6th
Ward restauranter, is still at bay. Mr.
Worsham was brutally assassinated,
his murderer hiding under cover of
night, firing three shots in rapid suc-
cession from behind, and then fleeing
into the darkness.
Mrs. Leola Stewart, pretty 21-year-
old heroine of two divorce suits, was
with Worsham at the time he was
shot and to the only eye witness to
the slaying. When the shooting be-
gan, she took refuge in the front yard
of a white family living nearby and
was in a hysterical condition when
questioned regarding the shooting.
She testified that just after the shoot-
ing she heard footsteps running into
the night and caught a quick glimpse
of a dark shape fading into the black-
nees.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Stewart, she went to the cefe owned
and operated by Tony B. Worsham at
2638 Odin Avenue, about 9 o’clock on
the night of July 16. Several people
came in while she was there, but she
paid no particular attention to them.
Some forty-five minutes later, Wor-
sham told Mrs: Stewart that he had
to go to the bakershop for bread and
suggested that she walk down there
with him. She and Worsham left the
restaurant together and walked down
to the bakershop at the corner of
Whitty and Odin. Worsham was
wearing his apron and was in his
shirt sleeves. After buying the bread,
P. ‘Roger Lights, professor of Wash,
ington High School, is also a young
man. He is the son of Rev. Lights,
who builded himself in the fabric of
Houston religious, social and economic
life. Negroes of Harris County were
glad these men happened to be chosen.
They represented Negroes at their
best.
WHITE MAN SHOT
STEALING MELON
Atlanta, Ga. (CNS)—The situa-
tion was reversed here last week,
when instead of a white man catch-
ing a Negro stealing his melons, a
Negro caught and shot a white man
stealing his melons. Vaughn Rich-
ards, white, was taken to the hospital
last week and is in a serious condi-
tion as the result of stealing melons
from a colored nan's patch. Accord-
ing to neighbors of Richard who
brought him to the hospital, Richards
had stopped in the colored man’s
patch to eat a mellon when the color-
ed man apprised him and fired from
a shot-gun piercing Richards’ chest
and injuring an eye.
they were walking back, laughing and
talking quietly when out of the night
came the bark of a pistol, fired three
times as quickly as the finger could
touch the trigger. Mrs. Stewart
screamed and ran, Tony Worsham
running with her and leaving a trail
of blood in his wake.
The shooting occurred just as the
couple reached the middle of Schwartz
Street going west on Odin Avenue.
The man was walking on the outside
of the sidewalk, the bread in his arm,
while Mra. Stewart walked on the in-
side. After the shooting, they both
ran West on Odin Avenue. An am-
bulance was called and the wounded
man was rushed to a hospital where
he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Worsham was only 29 years of age.
He was born and reared in Keenan,
having come to Houston to live about
9 years ago. He had been married.
.Mrs. Stewart was first married to
Ulysses Callion of Houston. Her sec-
ond husband was Irving Cagle, who
now resides in Beaumont. She was
unable to advance any motive for the
slaying.
Police are running down several
clues. Since it has been definitely
decided that robbery did not enter the
slaying from any angle, it is believed
that jealousy and revenge are ma-
jor motives. They are working on
the theory that there is a woman in
the case.
. Justice. Campbell Overstreet con-
ducted the inquest.
______came in buses and on
trains Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Hospitality, spelled in box car let-
ters, was dished out lavishly on all
sides, while U. B. F.’s and S. M. T.’s
deliberated and rambled around dur-
ing their stay in the Alamo City.
Former Victorians, now reaming in
San Antonio, were lavish in their at-
tention to Prof. C. H. McGruder,
grand secretary. Among other atten-
tions showered upon him during his
stay at the grand lodge, was a beau-
tiful bouquet of fragrant flowers pre-
sented by the Victoria Sunshine Club
Beyond question the most striking
incident of the 44th annual sessions
of the U. B. F. garnd lodge was the
unanimous action of the grand coun-
cil Monday evening, between 6:30 and
8 o’clock, when the council, through
Chairman M. C. Locke of Ft. Worth,
recommended the suspension of the

Brown Howard and Mrs. Murphy
worked for Rhambo. Sol White was
a trusted friend and served as one of
the pallbearers. Rev. J. H. Harring-
ton was on friendly terms with Rham-

nected any of these people with the
murder. But it seems that as soon
as news of the murder got out, the
sheriff at Austin arrested these peo-
ple. When Stewart was arrested,
they were being held. Their friends
claim that Stewart took his cue from
the sheriff.
To go on with Stewart’s story, when
he took Rhambo to them, they told
him he wasn’t through. They said
they would need a burial certificate
and he’d have to get that. But he
claimed he told them he was to deliv-

due his money.
Finally, they started out. 1
