NEGRO'S HORRIBLE DEATH BY HANDS OF WHITE FIENDS Gouge Eyes; Burn Sock- ets, Sear with Acid ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 14.— Whe horrible and almost incredible torture, followed by the lynching of Parker Watson, a Negro laborer here, which occurred on May 9, has aroused the decent elements to protest which may result in the state government taking a hand and forcing local offi- cials to investigate the case and pros- ecute his murders—something they have so far refused to'do, ‘ Arrested Only on Suspicion. Arrested as a suspect, the only charges preferred against him being that of petit larceny and resisting an officer, Watson was taken from police officers by six masked men as he was being removed to the county jail at Clearwater. The next day Watson’s body was found with the eyes gouged out and the empty sockets burned, apparently by lighted cigars. ,The face and torso ‘were seared with acid’ and one arm had been cut off. Mutilated While Alive. He had been shot six times. Physicians who examined the body state that the gouging, burning acid mutilation and the severance of the ‘arm had been done while Watson was still alive. The district attorney has stated that the was too busy to conduct and in- vestigation of this flendish crime, Asks for Water—Lynched. Negroes here live in perpetual fear of lynching. Four days before the finding of ‘Watson’s body another Negro was lynched at La Belle. He had asked @ woman for a drink of water, she ran creaming to a neighbor’s house. The ‘Negro, Henry Patterson, was lynched by a mob and his body carried thru the streets on the hood of an automobile. ‘The woman admitted later that Pat- terson had done nothing but ask for cwater. She gave as an excuse that she was “nervous and excited.” Unknown Ship on Fire Sends S. O.

SPEED-UP SYSTEMS 10 BLAME FOR HIGH DEATH RATE FROM HEART DISEASE The speed-up system is responsi- ble for the increasing number of deaths from heart disease declared Dr. Charles H. Mayo during the cere- monies at the laying of the corner- stone of the new Northwestern Uni- versity bullding here. He declared that the Americans had better slow up and get back to the old-fashioned method of doing things before their hearts succumb at too early an age. He pointed out that thirty years ago tuberculosis had the highest death rate, but that heart disease had now placed tuber- culosis in the shade.

Those born of native parents were 65%; of for- eign parents 14.9%, and of mixed parentage 6.7%. The ratio of foreign born in 1910 was 16.3%. Since immigration has been restrict- ed, the census bureau officials report, the ratio of foreign born will sharply decrease, since the numbers of foreign born are reduced by deaths, while all births add to the proportion of native born. Only Delaware, Virginia, Florida, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona show- ed an increase in foreign born popula- tion from 1910 to 1920.

DUEL BY FORGER Horthy Agent Wants to Defend ‘‘Honor’”’ (Special to The Daily Worker) BUDAPHST, June 14. — Count Karolyi has been challenged to a duel by Count Teleki. Count Teleki charges that his honor has been impugned by Count Karolyi in statements which he made during the recent franc forgery case, Details of the duel are kept a secret. Count Karolyi is well known in the United States where he had difficulties with Morgan’s lackey, Kellogg, head of the state department in securing ad- mission to visit his ill wife and was only granted permission to enter after he promised to make no speeches or statements. After leaving the United States he made several utterances de- nouncing the United States govern- ment for playing the game of the tyrant Horthy, of Hungary. Countess Karolyi has also been barred from entering the United States and has been fighting the case in the courts. Liaptcheff Gives Banquet to Honor of Butcher Zankoff SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 13.—Zankoft recognizes with joy that he could not have a more worthy successor than Liaptcheff. As a sign of gratitude to Zankoff, who allowed himself to read- ily be “overthrown,” Liaptcheff re- | cently arranged a banquet in the| Sofia military casino for Zankoff, in which all present and past ministers as well as the real rulers, the leaders of the Military League, participated. In his speech Liaptcheff pointed to the historical mission of Zankoff who had actually been the perpetrator of the “democratic” government of Liapt- cheff. The government of Liaptcheff would have been impossible without Zankoff because only thanks to the energy of Zankoff could the Bulgar- ian population be convinced of the criminal aims of the Communist and the peasant parties. Liaptcheff, however, did not content himself to praise Zankoff. He con- sidered it necessary to point out to Bulgarian capitalists his own alms. “If the Communists should again dare * f ° ca — Made Newberry Look Like Amateur | Washington photo showing Gov.

Federation Station Sending Union Music to Union Radio Sets All-union radio sets are one of the by-products of the Chicago Federa- tion of Labor's entry into the broad- casting business which will take place before the end of June. The last ob- stacle to a 100 per cent union receiv- ing set was removed when the strike vote of the machinists employed by the Automatic Electric Co. was re- scinded and a settlement made by the union, The radio inspector of the depart- ment of commerce will be invited in a few days to go over the plant on the Chicago Municpal Pier and receive labor’s application for a wave length. He is expected to transmit it to Wash- ington. Last Hours of Fur {Remus Strike Marked by Police Brutality NEW YORK CITY, June 13.—The striking furriers held to the picket line up to the last before the boses finally surrendered. The last morn- ing’s mass picket demonstration which was characterized by certain capitalist papers as a riot, was actually marked with very little disorder except that created by police officials. A detective and a uniformed officer stopped six workers who were on their way to a restaurant and after questioning them, insisted that they enter the hallway of a nearby building to submit to further examination. There the officers drew their clubs and after hitting each of the workers in turn, turned on Sol Orscher, a member of the general picket com- mittee, and beat him severely, None of these workers was placed under arrest, and after the attack by the officers they were allowed to go, When they reached the restaurant, it was discovered that Orscher was so badly injured that he had to be taken to a hospital where he is still under treatment, © This is the sort of occurrence the papers call “a riot of strikers.” Eight workers were arrested on the picket line, but when arraigned in Jef- ferson Market Court on charges of disorderly conduct 3 were dismissed, 2 were fined $2 each and 3 cases were postponed, + CINCINNATI, June 11. — George |Remus, former Chicago and Cincin- pointed out that tho this was’ being nati bootleg king, will have to serve | pa; nother year in jail, starting July 1. /orjminal alfens, that it was so vague as to be applicable also to thoi at Atlanta for violation of | were not crim!n prcibe ently completed a two-year France to Far East (Special to The Daily.

Bulgaria Forbids Overtime Working SOFIA,Bulgaria, Jane 14—Due to the great number of unemployed work ers, penalties have been established for those who work overtime. Over 33,000 workers—mainly in the tobacco and textile industries—are out of ‘work, The Bulgarian ministry of com- meree, industry and labor has sent out special inspectors to see that the eight- hour law is enforced and that the child labor and the acts protecting women are enforced.
