BODY OF WILLIAM J.
GAYNOR LAID TO REST
Remains Are Followed to Grave by Thousands.
Business in Gotham Practically, at a Standstill During Time Procession Leaves City Hall Until It Reaches Cemetery.
New York City.—The people of the city Sunday paid their final tribute to the memory of William J. Gaynor, their dead mayor. Nearly 100,000 persons stood in line in Broadway for hours in a drizzling rain waiting an opportunity to pass through the flower-banked rotunda of the city hall, where the body of the late mayor lay in state.
The line at times was fully a half mile in length. All classes were represented in the line. A list of the public officials who joined the procession would include every member of the mayor's official family and nearly all the members of the local judiciary.
One of the touching features of the silent procession was the number of little children who carried floral offerings to place upon the flag-draped bier. The city hall was kept open until 4 o'clock Monday morning for the accommodation of all those who whished to take their last look at the face of the mayor.
At 16:30 a. m. the body was removed to Trinity church, where the funeral services were held. At noon the funeral procession started for Greenwood cemetery.
From the time the procession started from the city hall till the hour of the interment in Greenwood business in the city was practically at a standstill.
TRANSFIXED ON PIECE OF WGOD
Two Women Are Seriously Hurt in Storm Which Unroofs Houses, Levels Barns and Kills Cattle.
York, Pa.—To be transfixed on a piece of timber when a barn in which they had sought shelter was blown down by a storm and then to be brought eight miles in an automobile pinned together, was the experience of Mrs. George Sipe and Mrs. Harry Shenk. Both women are in a serious condition at the York hospital. A piece of timber blown down during the storm entered Mrs. Shenk's left arm and passed through into the abdominal cavity of Mrs. Shipe, coming out through her back.
The storm that swept York county was the most severe of the season. Trees were uprooted, houses unroofed and barns leveled. At New Freedom the roofs were blown off several houses and a cow and two horses near Manchester were carried through the air for several hundred feet.
Tornado Sweeps Through Town. Prince Frederick, Md.—Leaving in its wake a trail of wreckage, a tornado swept across this town and during the brief two minutes that it lasted did damage that will reach into thousands of dollars.
Houses and stores were unroofed, huge trees uprooted, and as though in the grip of a giant hand were hurled more than a hundred feet, while small outhouses were lifted bodily into the air and crushed against the ground. Luckily the path of the storm was not wide, being a bare hundred feet.
THREE KILLED IN HEAD-ON GRASH
Sixty Others Hurt as Passenger Trains Collide.
Says, After Investigation of Accident,
That Single Spur Track Was
Not Equipped. With
New York City—Blame for the head-on collision Monday between two passenger trains on the Long Island railroad at College Point, L. I., which resulted in the death of three persons and the injury of 60 others, has been placed squately up to the company by Coroner Ambler of Queens.
Holds Company Responsible.
"The wreck occurred on a single track spur," he said after an investigation. "The spur was not equipped with a signal system. I believe the company is criminally responsible."
Walter Maize, tower man at Whitestone Junction, was arrested soon after the wreck and sent to jail without the privilege of ball on a charge of homicide. Testifying before the coroner Malze admitted he had allowed one of the trains to enter the single track zone because he "supposed everything was all right."
Steel Cars Save Many Lives.
Railroad experts are practically unanimous in their belief that the fact that both trains were made up entirely of steel cars prevented a great loss of life. The two trains were running at terrific speed, but despite this only the vestibules of the motor cars were wrecked. Those who lost their lives were standing in the vestibules of the motor cars.
The dead are:
Charles Hoehlen, motorman.
Fred Loeder, motorman.
George Berkle, conductor of the Whitestone train.
APPEAL TO SMALL FARMERS
Speakers at Packers' Convention Assert Agriculturists Are Only Ones That Can Avert Meat Famine.
Chicago, Ill.-The responsibility of averting a future meat famine was put up to small farmers by speakers at the eighth annual convention of the American Meat Packers' association. All the speakers agreed that if the decrease in meat production of the last 10 years is not stopped the question of the meat supply for the people of the United States will be most serious. Among the remedies suggested by the speakers were:
Every small farmer should raise at least two beef steers a year to offset the decreased production of the great ranches of the west.
The remaining ranges should be cut up in farms to put all farmers on an equal footing.
Development of the hills of New England with their bountiful springs and prevailing shade as a beef producing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton in the southern states and the consequent development of the cattle and hog production.
SEIZE AMERICAN MISSIONS
Greeks Capture Schools Where Instruction Is Given Nearly One Hundred Albanian Girls.
Vienna, Austria.—Greek authorites in Kortisa, in Albania, seized the American mission schools there, where instruction is given nearly 100 Albanian girls. The information reached here in a telegram from Avlona, the principal seaport of Albania, on the Adriatic sea. The Greeks also have arrested and persecuted a large number of Albanians who recently returned to Kortisa from America and other foreign countries releasing them from detention only when the Albanians promised to join in the agitation for the incorporation of the district in Greece.
The British consul in Monastir has entered vigorous protest with the Greek government on behalf of the Americans. The whole affair forms part of the Greek terrorization of the Albanian population with the object of compelling them to agree to the inclusion of the whole of southern Albania in the kingdom of Greece.
Sulzer Receives Another Blow
Albany, N. Y.-By the overwhelming vote of 51 to 1 the high court of impeachment Monday decided that the assembly had a right under the law to impeach William Sulzer of high crimes and misdemeanors and that the trial must therefore proceed.
Dynamite Train, 50 Killed.
Laredo, Tex.-Fifty persons were killed when the rebels dynamited a passenger train on the Mexican National railway 60 miles south of Saltillo, Mex., according to official reports to Mexican federal headquarters in Neuvo Laredo. The train was then looted and the surviving passengers robbed. Dispatches from San Luis Potosí, the capital of the state, say that rebels estimated to number 1,000 sacked the town of Venado and routed a federal force of 60 men.

N. Y. REPUBLICANS HOLD CONVENTION
Adopt Resolutions Advocating Roosevelt Policies.
Selection of Delegates to National Meets in Such Manner as Voters of Various States Choose Is Given Approval.
New York City.—Over the protests of William Barnes, Jr., the New York state Republican convention Monday adopted resolutions advocating policies for which the Roosevelt delegates to last year's Chicago national convention fought in vain. The resolutions call for the selection of delegates to national conventions in such manner as the Republican voters of the various states shall choose and for more equitable representations from southern states.
Barnes, although he had fought the innovation hard, accepted defeat gracefully, apparently satisfied by winning one minor point, that congressional districts be retained as the basis for representation.
The declaration adopted by the resolutions committee after a stormy session was as follows:
We instruct the representatives of the state of New York in the national committee to urge a national convention be called as soon as practicable, to change the party rules so as:
To provide that in the call for future national conventions delegates are to be chosen in each state in the manner preferred by the Republican voters in such states. We, however, urge the continuance of the congressional district as the basis of representation.
To insure that representation in the national conventions shall hereafter be based more nearly on the Republican vote actually cast in the several states and congressional districts, which just principle received the unanimous support of the delegation from the state of New York at the national convention of 1908, and
To amend the rules relative to party procedure in such other respects as may be requisite.
The proposition developed a warm fight before the committee in which national committeeman William Barnes was arrayed against United States Senator Root, Henry L. Stimson, former secretary of war, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university.
William E. Werner of Monroe county, associate judge of the court of appeals, was nominated for the chief judgeship of that court to succeed Edgar M. Cullen, whose term as chief judge ends this year. He was opposed for the place by Edgar Truman Brackett, former senator from Saratoga. The vote was 447 for Judge Werner and 151 for Brackett.
Frank H. Hiscock of Syracuse, now sitting in the court of appeals by designation, was nominated for associate judge in that court, receiving 444 votes against 157 cast for Justice Frederick E. Crane of Brooklyn.
May Revolutionize Warfare
Schenectady, N. Y.-A stream of invisible light waves that will anilhilate the largest dreadnaught afloat or wither up a bomb-carrying aeroplane has been produced by William Burr Gibson of this city. The instrument is already in the hands of the United States government and is undergoing rigid tests. In a test made by the inventor before applying for the patent a charge of dynamite was exploded five miles distant.
At the Twelfth Regiment armory, New York, commencing October 22 and continuing for ten days, an exposition is to be held to show the advancement made by the negro race in the United States during the last fifty years. The exposition is also intended to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. It is claimed that the exposition will represent more than 10,000,000 persons in the United States. The state's approval of the exposition was given in May last when the legislature passed an act appointing the emancipation proclamation commission, consisting of nine members, all negroes, and appropriating $25,000 for the purposes of the exposition. While the sum of $25,000 is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the exposition, contributions made by wealthy negroes in various parts of the country guarantee that there can be no failure of the enterprise through lack of funds. One negro in the south who owns thirteen plantations and is said to be worth not far from $750,000 has contributed heavily, while large contributions have been made by wealthy negroes in New York and other cities. Invitations to attend the exposition have been sent to every negro of prominence in the United States, a number of white persons of importance and to General Philippe Auguste, the negro president of Hayti, who, if he cannot attend in person, will send a delegation to represent the black republic, whose first president was a negro slave, Toussaint L'ouverture. A delegation from Santo Domingo is also expected and a representative from the government of Liberia.
The colored cooks who were a marked type of southern farm life before the war are rapidly passing away. On thousands of plantations these cooks were born on the place and remained in service even after freedom came to them until they were taken to the little family burying ground for final rest. Occasionally one of these old colored cooks can be found still doing good service. The average pay for colored cooks on southern farms is from $5 to $8 per month. An exceptionally fine cook and one who has been in service many years sometimes gets as much as $10, but such wages are rare. The younger generation of colored cooks demand much higher wages and southern housewives find themselves compelled to pay from $15 to $24 per month in order to keep first-class servants.—Exchange.
Mrs. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., delivered an address on "The Negro Woman in business" at Washington recently. She delivered a similar address before the Lott Cary Baptist association of the capital city. Her addresses are given with a view of encouraging women of her race to rise above the laundry and kitchen and to aspire to a place in the world of commerce and trade. She tells her own life story as an object lesson, having started business with $1.50, and now being worth thousands of dollars.

PY FIVE CENTS
AN CULLINGS
More than eight per cent. of the total wealth of the negro race is invested in church property. Fifty years ago, emancipation time, the negroes had scarcely any means of religious development. The entire south contained but 100 negro Sunday schools, and there were but three institutions of higher learning where a negro could be trained for the ministry. There are now 26 theological schools for negroes. Four large publishing houses devote their entire output to the needs of negro churches. Education of negroes in the south has shown similar gains. There were less than 100 schools for negro children at the close of the war. Now nearly 2,000,000 colored children are enrolled in public schools in the south, in care of 34,000 colored teachers. Higher education has increased correspondingly. In view of these facts economic advances is to be expected. The average negro just before the war was salable at about $500. There are 5,000 negroes in the professions and 30,000 engaged in business, including 64 negro banks. They own wealth estimated at $700,000,000. It is estimated that a free negro is now worth $2,500 to his community, five times his value to his former owner.
The seventy-third annual Indiana conference of the A. M. E. church was held at Marion, Ind., recently, Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee of Xenia, O., had charge of the conference. The first annual conference in Indiana was held in a little log schoolhouse on Blue river, in Rush county, in 1840, Bishop Morris Brown of Washington presiding. The intervening years have seen the conference grow from a few churches, scattered over the state, to nearly 500 churches, of which Bethel A. M. E. church of Indianapolis stands at the head. The state is divided into three conference districts, namely, the Evansville, Richmond and Indianapolis, with presiding elders living in the latter city in charge of each. The reports made were encouraging.
A ten-year-old negro girl will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, is the girl. Her income now is more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of a lucky allottee and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing oil well in the mid continent field near the town of Cushing. The well is producing over $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth of this as her share.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913.
During the recent National Baptist convention, the Nashville (Tenn.) Union-Review, a church organ, was published daily, and creditably, too.
American prejudice, among the higher army officials in the Philippins, is causing our soldiers there to be imposed upon. They are made to do about all of the roughest and hardest work. A new form of slavery, S'more "Wilson administration"!
The Oakland (Cal.) Western Out look will please accept our sincerest congratulations on the completion of its nineteenth year. We wish it many more years of success. The Outlook is one of our best papers, and Editors Joseph S. Francis and J. L. Derrick are among the most earnest race leaders.
THE "LITTLE BROTHER."
According to all we have been able to see and learn, Rev. Dr. Carey of Chicago, made the best speech delivered by a member of the race at any of the many "Perry Centennial Celebrations," held in recent weeks, along the "Great Lakes." Here is a portion of his splendid address and a fain "sample" of it, it is, too:
"American history actually teems with deeds of heroism and of valor of dauntless courage and unwavering loyalty on the part of the 'Little Brother' (Afro-American) in the nation. To-day we speak of peace, of universal peace. How can there be universal peace without universal justices? The American people are in moral conflict with enemies far more potent, far more dreadful than the British fleet or armed cruisers, which must themselves be conquered or they will conquer us. Is the 'Big Brother' (white Americans) really big enough for the task, for the responsibility for the opportunity that is his? As a true American, one who loves his country and believes in this country's greatness and goodness, the 'Little Brother' stands here to-day to plea for a fair chance. We ask nothing more—we will be satisfied with nothing less. We have done and are still doing our part. We have ever been loyal to the flag—no black anarchist has ever torn the Starry Banner down. We feel that we have not had a square deal. In many States we are distranchised because of our race, and 'jim-crow' laws disgrace the statute books of every Southern State. Efficient and trustworthy Afro-American Government employees in Washington have recently been set apart from their fellows with whom they have worked for many years, as if they were lepers. The 'Little Brother' feels that such segregation is unnecessary, unfair, unjust, un-American and un-Christian."
DISGUSTED WITH DEMOCRACY.
Thoroughly disgusted with democracy and the Wilson administration because of the latter's miserable treatment of our people, in every way. Ex Municipal Judge E. M. Hewlett of Washington, D. C., has withdrawn his application for the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. In a letter to the President under the date of Sept. 15, 1913, Mr Hewlett calls his attention to the maliciously insulting segregation which at least two of his Cabinet officers have inaugurated in their government al departments at the nation's capital; to his, (the President's) appointment of a white man to represent this country at the black republic of Haiti where the latter and his family must mingle socially with blacks, and winds up his letter, to President Wilson, as follows:
"Since your administration has done so much in an effort to humiliate and degrade my race, I would be wanting in manhood and self respect if I allowed the endorsements, in my behalf, to remain on file, or accepted an office position in the administration. If you dersed, I therefore must respectfully ask that all papers endorsing me be returned and my name not considered. The Negro asks no favors, but insists that he be treated as all other citizens, without regard to color. Will you, Mr. President, who believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, be insisting colored clerks in the departments is rescinded and that all other discrimination against my race ceases?"
The judge, apparently, is not the only other prominent Afro-American "independent" or democrat thoroughly disgusted with democracy as controlled and conducted, these days, by its prejudiced leaders from the south. Bishop Alexander Walters, a thoroughly loyal race man, and leader of
the so-called National Negro Democracy in the last national campaign, when Candidate Woodrow Wilson promised so much as to the fair-treatment of our people in the event of his elevation to the presidency, is, it is said, almost on the verge of breaking with democracy, too. We are sorry for the Bishop because his intentions were good. He joined the democratic
Bishop Alexander Walters.
party with the view and hope, as a result of his activities and good work, of being in a position, when the time came, as it has, to be of material help to our people. At heart, the Bishop is no more a democrat than the strongest Afro-American republican in the land.
A VICIOUS ATTACK.
In many places in Ohio the Colored people are beginning to see that Negro teachers for our children are the best. There is nothing in this thing of social mixing of the two races. The best whites don't want it any more than the best thinking Coloree. Give us our own leaders and the race profit thereby. The Urbana (O.) Infermer (monthly), E. W. Curry, editor
Curry is at the head of a Colored school at Urbana which he is evidently trying to "boost" in some way by making the above untruthful statement. For years he has worked to establish this school, meeting with poor success (for obvious reasons), as far as we are able to learn. "Social mixing of the two races" in public schools is a vicious statement and Curry knows it; it is also a dangerous untruth. Evidently that is why it is used. He would promote "jim-crow" schools because he imagines it would in some way help his. Shame! This is not the first thing of the kind he has attempted, either. This will fall just as the others have. "The best whites and the best thinking Colored people do want the public schools, mixed as they are in Ohio, and what is more they are going to continue them just as they have for many, MANY years, Curry and the few of his kind to the contrary, notwithstanding. We will have "our own leaders" the race will permit proper Afro-Americans to lead them and not before, but we won't have "jim-crow" schools to please a few prejudiced whites and a few foolish Negroes who are looking for an easy living at the expense of a principle almost vital to the race. "There is no social mixing of the two races" in Ohio's mixed public schools, in a number of which are Negro teachers working side by side and in harmony with white teachers. And there will be more of them in the future.
AN INNOVATION.
It is explained that the appointment of Madison R. Smith, a Missouri white man, as minister to Haiti was made for the purpose of gratifying the Haitians. The other nations send white ministers to Port au Prince, and the United States sends white ministers plenipotentiary to every other capital. For many years the United States has been represented by Negro ministers at the Haitian capital, and it is said that a certain influential class of Haitians have resented the distinction. Negro ministers have not bloomed, but some of their families have a considerable French admixture. There are plenty of educated and cultured men. They do not, of course, object to a Negro American minister because he is a Negro, but they do object because he is the only Negro to hold an American diplomatic post outside of Liberia. The explanation of Mr. Wilson's appointment of Minister Smith appears reasonable, and it is difficult to believe that the selection will meet any widespread protest from Negroes in the United States. It is not probable that Negro ministers are representative of general racial sentiment.—Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer editorial, Sept. 23-13.
The above is not only untrue and, but positively insulting—to the race-loyalty, race-respect and intellgence of Afro-Americans and Haitians alike. No sane person, familiar with the facts, would for a single moment credit the prejudiced American fie that Haitians, whether of full or mixed blood, are objecting, directly or indirectly, to the appointment of an Afro-American U. S. Minister to that country. As a matter of fact, Haiti and Liberia, if not also Santo Domingo, have always had and still prefer Afro-American representatives from this country. The reasons for this are too numerous and far too obvious to necessitate their publication in whole or in part, in order to convince any intelligent, unprejudiced person of the truthfulness of the foregoing statements. Equally untrue is the Plain Dealer editor's statement that "the United States sends white ministers plenipotentiary to every other capital," and that the "American Minister to Haiti is the only Negro to hold an American diplomatic post outside of Liberia." There are about a half dozen others, Mr. Plain Dealer editor. The explanation of President Wilson's appointment of the new U. S. (Haitian) Minister, a Mr. M. C. Smith, (white), of Missouri, does NOT "appear reasonable," and it is NOT difficult to understand why the selection is meeting and will continue to meet with the "wide spread protest" of Afro-Americans and all reasonable people of other classes. There is nothing in the world to justify the Smith appointment, and the only thing that can possibly be raked up as an
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913
excuse for the same is the silly and insulting American prejudice which the Wilson administration and the democratic Congress have shown in the wholesale dismissal of Afro-American federal office-holders, at home and abroad: in the secrecy of clerks of government departments at Washington, D. C., and in their retusal to give positions to even Afro-American democrats or republicans since southern democracy, which controls national democracy, "leaped into the saddle" at Washington, D. C., on the 4th of March, last year. The Plain Dealer may rest assured that there are far more than a "few scattered complaints," and that they ARE "representative of the general racial sentiment." Under the circumstances, how could it be other wise?
PAPERS ON INTER-RACIAL PROBLEMS.
Communicated to the First Universal
Races' Congress Held at the University
of London, July 26-9, 1911. Edited
by Spencer S. Spencer, Jr.
King & Son, Archard House, Boston,
U. S. A., 28 A. Beacon Street,
1911
This is the title of a book of 485 pages, octavo, which may be well said to belong to the category of the really valuable literary output of the first decade of our century. The object of the Congress mentioned, was "to discuss in the light of science and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the West and those of the East, and to call for a so-called Colored peoples, with a view to encourage between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier co-operation. * * * Nearer and nearer we see approaching the day, when the vast population of the East will assert their claim to meet on equality the nations of the West; when, in short, the color prejudice will have vanished and the so-called Colored races shall no longer merely meet in the glowing report of missionary exposition, but, in very fact, regard one another as in truth men and brothers. The grave problems arising in various countries (and indeed very acutely, in our own) are to be discussed in an impassionate manner, the wise handling of which would remove dangers and possible causes of conflict, which, but for skilled guidance, might conceivably convulse mankind."

WOMEN BARREED
Pluqa, O. of Barrett, here last week, of the north Ohio A. M. E. conference, possibly the most important matter was brought up on an appeal presented by Dr. J. M. Gilmore of Youngstown, former P. E., against the decision of Rev. Geo. W. Maxwell, P. E., permitting women as stewardesses to membership in the district conference. Bishop Shaffer, after referring to the discipline, quoting and explaining the law, rendered the episcopal decision that women could not be members or delegates of the district conference. Dr. Gilmore is to be congratulated on his victory.

FRATERNAL SOCIETY NEWS
By C. P. Lancaster.
The Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W., met in Atlantic City, Aug. 26, 1903, and was largely attended. The suit in New York was decided in favor of W. H. Hutchess, because Justus Hughes (formerly Governor of N. Y.) decided there was no federal question involved in the case, as presented. It was the unanimous decision of the delegates to carry the case in Ohio to a final decision, and profit by the mistakes in the N. Y. case.
The local lodge, Cuyahoga, is honored with the election of James H. Starkey, its present E. R. as Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight. The next meeting will be at Norfolk, Va. at the esteemed Loyal Knight at the same time, had a very harmonious session and elected all the old officers. The local Temple (Glenara), was honored by its P. D. R., Mrs. M. F. Green being re-elected.
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.
The human race has climbed on protest.
Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotones decide our last disputes.
For who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

RACE
On his fifteenth birthday anniversary, recently, Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, gave $250,000 to charities. Of this amount, $25,000 was given to Dr. Boeker T. Washington for the improvement and elevation of Afro-American schools.
"Gunbac" Smith and Sam, Langford were to meet in a ten round bout in New York City, this week Friday night. Some more money for Langford. Organized Chicago Jews have organized the Ant-Defaunce League of America, for the purpose of eliminating the stage Jew, etc. The Afro-American, apparently, delights in the stage riddle of himself. There are about 1,000,000 Afro-Americans in the North; 94,446 in Washington, D. C.; 91,709 in New York City; 52,305 in Birmingham, Ala., and 22,762 in Mobile, Ala. Ninety-five per cent of the white women of Homersville, Ga., have petitioned the State Prison Commission, asking executive clemency for "Lage" Lane sentenced to hang) and are grave donors to his guilt of the crime for which he was convicted.
Trailed to Los Angeles, Cal., from Chicago by a woman who claims to be his common-law wife, S. T. Bovey (white), one of the federal grand jurors who indicted "Jack" Johnson, for violation of the white slave act, was arrested in the California city, recently. At Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, a memorial has been erected in honor of the late Dr. Edward Wimot Blyden, scholar and linguist, one of the most famous of the world who in life. The memorial stands in front of Wilberforce Memorial Hall, Water street, close to St. George's Cathedral, and the bust faces the sea. It is easily seen by persons arriving by sea, rail or road.
Frank Flicker Graef, convicted of complicity in the Etherington lynching at Newark, O., in July, 1910, and who served ten months on the penitentiary, released about a year ago, was found dead in a Newark hotel, Sept. 17. He had a leg amputated during the trial and was ill most of the time at the “Pen.” He was a saloon-keeper at the time of his death. He was convicted (white) whose folk later received $5,000, as provided for in Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Lynching law.
BRICKS SHOULD BE USED.
Williamson, O. Curtis, 1917.
Editor Gazette. Dear Sir.—In common with others, I always want our people to get all the money (honestly) they can, especially if they save some of the proverbial "rainy day"; but it I am pleased to say that I did not notice a member of the race acting as a target for thrown balls at the Ohio State fair at Columbus, as I did at the North Randall fair, near Cleveland recently. Don't you think you should not for other than soft balls? To be fair himself and other members of the race, bricks and not balls should be used. What do you think of it? If you favor the same, we will see if we cannot, at least, make it difficult for him to secure a job at N. Randall in the future. (By all means do so.—Editor.)

In a Great Effort to Raise a Fund to Pay Off Debt on the Douglass Home — General Friends Offices, New York Property to Successful Con-
The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association has in augmented a movement to raise sufficient funds to pay off the mortgage on the home and provide funds to put the home of the late, and illustrious Douglass in excellent shape. The residence on Cedar Hill, at Washington ton, with all the furniture, books curios, etc., belonging to Mr. Douglass, and with its fifteen acres of land on the property, will be the home to the White House, be bequeathable to the race to be maintained forever as a memorial and as a retreat where all might go, without charge, and enjoy it and everything which once was the property of the great apostle of freedom. A mortgage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old house, which was once a lasting disgrace were this home to fall into the hands of the white man, or were its valuable furniture, books, papers, works of art and curios collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on the home and put in repair attention to the advertisement in another part of this newspaper offering two New York building lots absolutely free to the largest number of coupons. We urge men and women, and girls to enter this contest and assist to raise the necessary fund to pay off the mortgage on the home of the late, and illustrious Douglass, since and begin collecting coupons, for forming them to this newspaper each week, accompanied by five cents for each coupon sent in. Here is an opportunity to secure a valuable lot, which may be worth several thousands dollars to you in a short time, for New York real estate increases in value amazingly fast, and at the same time you will help raise the fund required to preserve the home of that illustrious Negro, Frederick Douglass.

Wilson's "Jim Crow" Government. When a "Jim Crow" attains to a position of trust and honor in the nation's employ though the position be of a minor nature, his success is in the face of racial handicaps that make his progress unreasonably difficult. Courage and force of character are required if he is to win his way. It would be shameful to add further handicaps based on the color of his skin and ignoring his moral and intellectual qualities. To establish a national stature of government Washington would be of interest, to violate the canons of true democracy. Further, the injury to the self-respect and natural ambition of American Negroes would be serious. The Negro is a patriot. Shall the government to which he gives his allegiance thrust him aside as at best a second rate patriot? Segregation would probably have the injurious effect, as the Negroes themselves suggest, of limiting their chances for civil service promotion. It might also serve as an ex-

Green will constitute an entertaining program. A silver offering will be taken, the money raised to be used in assisting two young women (orphans) in educating themselves. No admission fee charged.
That was a dirty, lowlived criminal act that some individual committed in the new Ogden theater, on the opening (Wednesday) evening. Some scoundrel velled "fire" in an effort to stampede the audience and break up the performance. It is a feature be caused by another Morris happened to be the theater at the time and promptly checked it. The theater was packed to the doors at the time, many children being in attendance.
Hower & Higbee and the May Co. were advertising soe of their goods last week, using the insulting expression "nigger brown." This is a matter we trust our City Federation of Women's clubs took up promptly and handled properly with the management of the firms mentioned. Our women's large patronage of both of these stores ought to give them our attention to bring about an immediate discontinuance of that sort of advertising.

Street Costumes Dark.
On one point the majority of French
couturiers agree, and that 1s a dark
jubdued coloring for street costumes
The bright, vivid tones are all very
well for tho summer, when every one
\s frivolling more of less and nature
is im a riotous mood, but tor the win-
ter the reaction from those violent
solorings is very pleasing, Black,
however, has a serious rival in “tete
de negre,” which is almost indistin
rulshable trom black, but which on
slose Inspection betrays a brownish
thading. Another equally popular col:
or is midnight blue, a very deep navy
blue that suggests black. There Is
also a deep rich purple and a georg
atte green which is darker than the
‘amous Bakst green,
Masculine Accessories.
This leaning toward dark colors for
the street does not mean that all color
will be kept for indoor functions and
‘or the evening, but that the brilliant
cones Will bo centered in the trim

Vesta and waistcoats may reflect
one or many of the radiant hues,
some of the art nouveau stults dis

or. Against the dark background of
the sult those accessories borrowed
‘rom tho masculine contingent stand
out with a vividness which is startling.

This waistcoat was exploited in one

The Sketch.
Waistcoats are of many types:
tome are mere vests, which §)! in
the open space in front made by
lanting the coat directly back from
hhe fastening over the bust; others
re fashioned like men's waistcoats,
with backs of plain satin. Many
oats are made to be worn with or
without the waistcoat, and the waist-
oat, on the other hand, is worn
‘requently without the coat. The plain
affetas and satins are used generally
or the walstcoats worn with blouses.
3till another type of waistcoat could
de described as a girdle vest. The
walstcoat on the middle gure In the
sketch ts built along these lines. A
aright green and white satin has been
\dapted and draped around the figure.
When the jacket 1s removed the effect
's very similar to that produced by
ny high girdle.
Plaids Ponvlar.
The color note Is sounded also tn
plaids, which are combined freely
sith plain materials, but this color
tote, It must be aimitted, is very
auch subdued. It has been many sea-
sons since plaid goods have been x0
sopular as they are today, and the
‘ear is expressed thet, thelr popu:
‘arity will tend to cheaper them. One
cither likes or dislikes a plaid ms:
serial; there are no half measures,
‘ind the woman who over-uses plaids
's almost sure to kill them for the
woman in search of exclusive styles,
There are some very artistic plaid
‘aaterials shown, many reproductions
of the well-known Scotch tartans, and
4 large number of new designs in
soft greens and blues, with stripes of
Miver oF gold arfd unusual brown and
purple combinations. Plaids are being
‘made both tn silk and in clathe,
‘The costume shown in the sketch ts
developed in velours de laine, the
plaid forming the skirt, and the plain
blue velours de laine appearing in
the Jacket. The plaids permit a cer
tain dlgcreet amount of draping,
though they are more satistactory cut
in straight lines with, perhaps, a few
pleats as displayed in the sketch.
Collar and cuffs of the plaid connect
the skirt with the Jacket. On the
longer coats, feenioned on the order
of a Russian blouse, ‘the wide girdle
like belt may be likewise of the plaid.
‘The pleats on the skirt just men:
‘soned are interesting as indicative of
a style that one of the well-known
couturleres means to push this win
ter. She showed at her opening an
unusual number of pleated skirts:
some pleated at one side, othere

New Flare.
Aside from these general styles
there is a novel flare in many of the
new coats—a flare that lends a ripple
to the skirt of the coat and makes It
stand out from the gure ina man-
ner slightly suggestive of the tunic.
With the pegtop skirts, and others
showing unusual fuluess over the
hips, the flare in the coat becomes “a

Luncheon Favor.
A dainty bonbon box, suitable for a
luncheon favor, can be made of crepe
paper in the form of a rose, or daisy,
or any flower which successfully
carries out the color idea. A rose is
perhaps the easiest flower to make, ak
though almost any flower could | be
fashioned with a little ingenuity, says
the New York Press. To make the
rose, cut petals from crepe paper and
curl them around the edges of the cen-
ter, curving outward. The center is
one of the little pinked paper cups
that come in candy boxes. The petals
fare made long enough 0 that they can
be wrapped under the cup with wire

green stem, made by twisting crepe
paper around the wire. Crepe paper

Waist protectors of fine net, to be
worn under the coat collar for the pro
tection of the waist beneath it, are
made of net and lace, says the Phila
delphia Times.
One attractive style 1s made of the
white net, a strip about half a yaré
wide laid in soft plaits and finished ai
the ends with white silk tassels. An
other style is made of two stript
of shadow lace edge fastened togethe:

of arrow lace beading, This protectoi
is finished with gilt tassels.
Some of these protectors are allowe¢
to crumple and fold naturally under

fined net and lace waists are also very
practical, as they are easily laundere¢
and cool.
Bows at the Back.
One of the whims of fashion ts the
placing of bows at the back of the
neck instead of at the front. The bows
are flat and tailored in effect and the
fringed ends reach to the waist. Thi
