After a bitter fight Underwood secured the substitution of President Wilson's compromise for the Clark amendment to tax deals in cotton futures. The treasury department at Washington is preparing for a flood of questions about the new income tax. One of the first steps taken to get general information before the public will be to distribute income tax blanks through post offices, internal revenue officers and other federal agencies. A petition in the form of a sworn statement of charges demanding that impeachment proceedings be instituted against Justice Van Devanter, associate justice of the Supreme court of the U.

Both men fell thirty feet and rolled through an open fireplace into a room. The officer drew a blacklack and the nero a knife and a desperate battle took place before the negro was arrested. A bag containing stolen silverware was found on the roof. In order to bring about his legal removal to Pennsylvania, if Governor Felker of New Hampshire refuses New York's demand, a taxpayer's suit against the state of New York is planned by Harry K. Thaw.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883. AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1913. 10 DEAD, 13 INJURED AS RESULT OF A RIOT Two Negroes Who Start Trouble Are Lynched. Colored Man Who Had Been Drinking Heavily and Lost Large Sum of Money in Crap Game Starts on Warpath. Harriston, Miss.—Ten persons are dead and thirteen Lost wounded, two probably fatal, as the result of a riot which terrorized the citizens of Harriston for eight hours Sunny morning, threw passengers of a train into a panic, caused Gov. Earl Brewer to rush a company of militia from Natchez and ended only when the two negroes who started the trouble over losses at a crap game had been lynched in the presence of the militia, Dead and Wounded. The dead are: Grover B. Hammett, sheriff of Jefferson county; Frank Kinsley, constable of Harrison; Claude Freeman, white; Joe Weeka, Jesse Thompson, Fayette Greyson, Johann Alkens, Teller Warren, Will Jones, Walter Jones. The wounded: Edward B. Appleby, conductor Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad, shot above heart, in arm and thigh, probably fatal. O. S. Gillis, clerk of the circuit court of Jefferson county, probably fatal. Thad Ross, shot in side; condition serious. William Bonds, train flagman. Permell Lee and Reynolds Kinsley and the following five negroes: Homer Altkens, John Wiggins, Jerry Haywood, John Nash, Bob Patterson and I. S. Hill. Pullporter. The row which culminated in a riot began at a little negro cabin on the south edge of the town shortly after 1 a.m. Will Jones with other negroes had been engaged in a crap game since early Saturday night. Jones had been drinking heavily and was quarrelsome over losses. Going over to the railroad track, which passes in front of the house, he suddenly took up a shotgun. There was a flash and Teller Warren, a negro, fell dead. Attracted by the report, Aitkens, a negro woman, came to her door. She staggered back with a bullet in her arm. At the same time her child, sitting up in bed, was hit in the arm by another shot. Negroes scattered in wild confusion. Will Jones disappeared into the larkness, going up the railroad track toward town. A block away he came to an old store where a number of white men were playing poker behind closed doors. The negro deliberately fired into the room. Buckshot scattered in all directions, but all the players escaped harm. Claude Freeman of Fayette, unarmed, went outside to learn what had happened. He was shot dead. Shoots Several Negroes. Shoots several Negroes. The path of the murderer led to the depot. En route he met several negroes. Their bodies also were found beside the railroad tracks at dawn. The early morning train of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad from Memphis reached the station at 1:30 o'clock. Conductor Appley walked into the telephone office to receive his orders. As he emerged from the doorway a flash of a shotgun appeared from behind the cars and Appley fell fatally wounded. Will Bonds, the flagman on the train, went in search of the assailant and he was likewise greeted with a gun flash. A slight wound in the arm was the extent of his injuries. Pernell Lee, employed in the railroad yard as a pump tender, also received a wound in the arm. While the town was being awakened by the repeated shooting, Frank Kinsley, constable, was called to his door and shot down. Reynolds Kinsley, his son, who ran to his father's aid, was wounded in the arm. By 3 o'clock the shooting had assumed the proportions of a battle. But the negroes were crafty and deftly evaded all pursuers. Sheriff Hammett drove from Fayette to Harrison, accompanied by Tom Hommett, his aged father, and a deputy sheriff and O. S. Gillis, clerk of the circuit court. By the lights at the depot Will Jones and his brother Walter, who had joined him, were seen to hurry to their home, 300 feet away. The two Hammett and Gillis, with pistols drawn, approached the house and called upon the negroes to surrender. Finally Thad Grayson, an aged negro, under promise of a $10 note, approached the Jones house and parlayed for a surrender. This move was successful. Will Jones, Johnson Prophet and Bob Patterson came out with hands upraised. Walter Jones was shot while trying to escape. Preparations for a lynching were well under way when the militia from Natchez arrived on a special train. The soldiers were told firmly to stand aside, and the command lined up while Will Jones was hanged to a telegraph pole and Walter Jones was strung up to the coal shale. Hopes for Union of All Churches Baltimore, Md.—Cardinal Gibbons, tn an interview granted Sunday to a reporter, expressed the fervent hope that a union of all Christian churches under one head might ultimately be brought about and predicted that such a union would result in wonderful advances of civilization. Of the efforts of Sir Oliver Lodge to produce scientific proof of the existence of life beyond the grave the cardinal said those who believed in the teachings of Christ had no need of such proof. Albert G. Schmedeman of Madison, Wisc., has been appointed United States minister to Norway. Mr. Schmedeman was born in Madison and has been active in the Democratic councils of the state for years. He succeeds Lauritz Swenson of Minnesota. STATES SECEDE FROM HUERTA GOVERNMENT Americans Flee Country to United States as Consul Warns Foreigners in Anticipation of General Ripling. El Paso, Tex.-At a conference held in Hermosillo, five northern states, comprising nearly half of Mexico, decided to secede from the federal government to form the confederate states of Mexico, according to Americans arriving from Hermosillo. The states, whose representatives agreed to the secession plan, are: Sonora, Durango, Coahuila, Sinaloa and Chihuahua. Only the rebel state government in Chihuahua joined in the movement. Venustiano Carranza is to be president of the new confederacy, say the Americans. Piedras Negras, Mexico.-Terror has gripped this city, the provisional capital of the Mexican constitutionalists, with the victorious northward march of the federalists and the arrival of hundreds of refugees from the surrounding devastated country. Following notice of United States Consul Blocker that all who persisted in remaining in Piedras Negras after 7 o'clock Tuesday night would forfeit the protection of the American government, American residents of Piedras Negras joined the exodus and hundreds of persons crossed the international bridge into Eagle Pass, many carrying such of their possessions as they could hurriedly assemble on their backs. Consul Blocker's warning to foreigners to quit Piedras Negras immediately was in anticipation of rioting should the constitutionalists be forced to abandon their provisional capital. TARIFF BILL UP TO SENATE Measure, After Passing House by Vote of 254 to 103, Is Rushed to Upper Branch of Congress. Washington, D. C.—After passing the Underwood Democratic tariff bill, with the exception of the cotton futures amendment, by a vote of 254 to 103, the measure was rushed to the senate. Party lines in the house were drawn closely in the final vote. In passing the bill the Democratic majority received the assistance of but seven Republicans—Baltz and McDonald, Michigan; Kelly and Rupley, Manahana, Minnesota, and Stafford, Wisconsin. Democrats voting against the bill were Donohoe, Pennsylvania; Broussard, Morgan and Lazaro, Louisiana. Donohoe opposed the measure because of the manufacturing interests in his Pennsylvania districts, and the Louisiana representatives were continuing their fight against the sugar schedule. Kills Deserted Wife and Self. New York City.—"I'm starving. Take me back," said Morris Rosenthal when he appeared at the Brooklyn home of his wife, deserted 17 years ago. The woman refused and started to call one of her daughters when Rosenthal drew a revolver and put a bullet in her brain. Then he put the muzzle in his own mouth, pulled the trigger and fell dying over the body of his victim. Ex-House Clerk Is Dead Sharon, Pa.-Maj. Alex McDowell, 72, for many years clerk of the house at Washington and a Republican politician of national reputation, is dead at his home here. Maj. McDowell began life as a newspaper man. By hard work and his gift of speaking he made himself a political power. He was a bosom friend of Joe Cannon. He was president of the McDowell National bank, treasurer of the Protected Home Circle and the Republican leader in northwestern Pennsylvania. SEEK TANGO PUPIL IN DEATH OF GIRL Authorities Are Looking for 'Small Town Man.' Mysterious "Mr. Spencer" Is Believed by Police to be the Only One Who Can Tell Truth of Murder. Chicago, Ill.—Everett A. Rexroat, Macomb county farmer, husband of Mrs. Mildren Allison Rexroat, Chicago dancing teacher, shot to death near Wayne Ill. Saturday morning, Monday told a coroner's jury the history of his acquaintance with Mrs. Rexroat. His testimony, together with that of W. H. Allison, her divorced husband, and others who knew something of the circumstances in which Mrs. Rexroat visited Wayne, failed to throw any light on the identity of the slayer. Seek Dancing Pupil. The efforts of the police now are in search for "Mr. Spencer," a pupil of Mrs. Rexroat's dancing class, reported to have been infatuated with her and who, she had said, had arranged for her to teach a private class at Wheaton and who accompanied her from Chicago on the night she met her death. A switch of woman's hair and a number of "rats" of the sort used by women in dressing their hair, found in the Chicago yards of the Burlington railroad, were identified by Mrs. Victor I. Johnston as having belonged to Mrs. Rexroat. Mrs. Rexroat lived at Mrs. Johnston's home. The hair is taken by the police to indicate that the murderer fled to Chicago, possibly on a freight train, discovered the hair while looting Mrs. Rexroat's suitcase, and threw it away here. C. A. Goodman, who lives in Wheaton and who occupied the seat in the train in front of Mrs. Rexroat, was one of the chief witnesses at the inquest. "The couple sat back of men on the 6:30 train," he said. "They mentioned the town of Macomb several times, and the man said: 'My father certainly knew how to make a will. The interest from my income is bigger than most fellows' salaries. It sure supports me a lot better.'" Passion for Tango The mysterious "Mr. Spencer," described as a "small town man" with a passion for the tango, is believed by the police to be the only one who can tell the real truth of the murder. Rexroat convinced State's Attorney Ahadley, of Dupage county, that he had no part in the murder, having established an alibi. The testimony of Allison and Miss Frances Semrow, a half sister of the decedent, pictured the latter as frivolous. "She was always getting in trouble about men," testified Miss Semrow. Rexroat knew about it and was angry." Allison said he looked after business affairs of his former wife and had charge of her property in Michigan and of a bank book. Rexroat, the infatuated farmer of Macomb, married the woman last spring within two weeks of her divorce from Allison. Mrs. Allison-Rexroat was murdered at Wayne, a suburb of this city where many wealthy men have their country homes, on Friday night last. She was shot in the head, the body placed on the railroad tracks and she was robbed of jewelry and money valued at about $400. ADMITS MURDERING YOUTH Man Says He Killed Boy on Golf Links Because Lad Called Mother Profane Name. Philadelphia, Pa.—Confession to the murder of seven-year-old Israel Goldman on the golf links of the Whitemarsh Country club Friday night was wrung from Joseph O'Brien by Capt. Cameron of the detective bureau Monday. The prisoner begged for mercy, and said he did it because the boy called his mother a profane name. After O'Brien had shown signs of breaking down under a "third degree" examination, Capt. Cameron confronted him with James Mellon, a trolley car conductor, who remembered having seen the man board his car on return from the Country club. O'Brien then said he would tell all. The prisoner said he met the Goldman boy about 8 o'clock Friday evening and said "Hello." He said the lad replied with a slur at his mother. He said he grabbed the boy, took him to the links and beat and choked him to death. Inventor of Wire Nail Dies. Denver, Col.—H. W. Hartman, millennial inventor of the mobile friend and close business associate of Andrew Carnegie, inventor of the wire nail and prominent capitalist of Pennsylvania and Denver, died at Mercy hospital of heart disease, the result of overwork. Hartman was born 63 years ago in Martinsburg, Pa. He organized the Union Drawn Steel Co. in Pittsburgh, and later he became associated with Carnegie and the two men organized the Hartman Steel Co. of which Hartman was president. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS During the last eight years the negroes in Macon county have built largely by their own efforts fifty-three schoolhouses, at a total cost of $40,000. Builders of these schools are to a large extent former slaves, plantation folk and their children, who had no interest in education and no training in organization of any kind. They came from the cotton and corn fields, where the only incentive to work was a generous lashing from the overseer's whip. They had no ideals of home, of personal comforts, least of all of planning and constructing school buildings. Where, before emancipations, save in exceptional cases, had the negro anywhere heard of designing a building, computing the cost of ground, of various kinds of material or of labor? His hut had been constructed under the computation and plans of his master; nay, even the food he ate and the one-piece garment which he wore cost him no concern. This was true all over the world as well in Macon county. Prior to 1905 nearly every negro school in this county was either a log cabin or a one-room cottage, with one or two wooden windows, one door, a rickety wooden floor or a dirt floor, as chance happened to will it; a leaky roof, decaying logs and blocks of wood, broken-backed chairs and benches for seats; these are the things that made up the edifice and surroundings for the children of the ex-slaves to get an education or a training for life. To many, this was good enough, far better than they had had, certainly; but to others it was wretchedness. And so arguments began to circulate. The people throughout the county were poor. Some few of them were just getting to their feet in the matter of land buying, but the masses were "share-croppers" or tenants. Now, it is in Macon county, it will be remembered, that Tuskegee institute is located. At one of the negro conferences Dr. Booker T. Washington had pressed very close home the matter of schoolhouses, justice to children, employing a teacher and lengthening the school team of four or five months by their own efforts. In a little while a cry had come up from a community known as Magnolia: "We want a new school! Help us!" "Help us" meant fund to a certain extent, but most of all it meant somebody with initiative, suggestion, encouragement—and the welding of factions. This last was especially troublesome. The rural colored man is the stanchest of partisans to his faith. A man of Baptist convictions is unwilling to build a schoolhouse anywhere save face to face with the Baptist church; so it is with a brother of the Methodist faith or of any faith. The people at Magnolia had raised some money, but how much they needed before they could break ground to build, how to go about discovering all this, they were at a loss to determine. Tuskegee institute sent down a man, a graduate of Fisk university, who had previous experience in dealing with community folk and in building schools. About half enough money had been raised to begin the work. An appeal to the people for more brought the response that no more would be raised; the people as a mass had lost interest. Faction troubles, religious and social, were bolling at a high heat. The teacher returned to Tuskegee, reported to Dr. By far the longest "unscientific" boundary in the world divides us from British America. It cuts across mountain chains east and west, where nature has grooved the inevitable paths of men north and south; and the close neighborliness thus enforced by geography has thriven and ripened in vast trade, in common prosperity, in growing esteem. No fort frowns along this line, no navies confront each other on the lakes, where the example of disarmament by agreement has long been set for all the world. Aloysius Simms, colored, said to have recently celebrated his one hundred and third birthday, dropped dead while crossing a vacant lot between Railroad avenue and Sherman place, Anacostia, last week. Simms has been a resident of Anacostia most of his life. He resided with Mrs. Mary Williams and Mrs. Ann Covington, daughters, and leaves a number of grandchildren. He had been away from home only a few minutes when a message was received by his daughters that he had dropped dead. Great Britain imported 40,000,000 dozen eggs the first three months this year, as compared with 35,000,000 dozen the first quarter of 1912. The original forests of the United States contained timber in quantity and variety far exceeding that found on any similar tract in the world. American salmon in the fresh waters of Tasmania are prospering wonderfully. Some of them increased in weight from two ounces to four pounds in 21 months. PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS Washington and awaited instructions. It chanced that a donor in the west had given several hundred dollars to be used in helping the Macon county rural schools. A part of this sum was placed at the disposal of the school's representative, with instructions to return to Magnolia and see what could be done. With this definite plan made out, the teacher returned. Said he to an audience at Magnolia: "A friend who is interested in you, who wants to see you build a school house and educate your children, has sent you some money, under certain conditions. That is, he will give you $50 for every $50 you raise until a sufficient sum is collected. Will you accept?" A message from paradise could not have been hailed with greater enthusiasm. That some friend was interested in them, wanted to see them get ahead and had sent them some money personally seemed almost too good to be true. In two months' time they laid down $100 to be covered by $100 from the donor, and work was begun. In six months from the time the representative went down from Tuskegee the school was finished and dedicated amidst shouts and tears of a people in mass, who had just finished their first lesson in the history of devising and constructing a schoolhouse. One of the main features of this lesson was that while wonderfully instructive in itself, it was also a great model exercise. Adjoining communities took courage — Clintonville, Brownville, Rising Star, Notasula, one after the other caught the vision of passing from a worm-eaten hut to a $600 or $700 building. Each went through its shoals of faction and misunderstanding, each got a little help and suggestion, but each played his part to the end. Another very interesting phase of this general school building was that it soldered the white and colored people closer together and won many a local white man to faith in negro education. Some, when the schools were dedicated, put their thoughts in writing. In a letter directed to C. J. Calloway, the director of Tuskegee institute extension work, the mayor of Notasulga writes: "It (the new rural school) is a credit to the town, and I feel sure that it will be the means of benefiting not only your race but ours as well. I am truly glad to see your people taking so much interest in preparing their young for the duties of citizenship." A committee of white people at Loachapoka, Ala., wrote: "We take pleasure in saying in behalf of the white citizenship of Loachapoka that we commend the assistance you have given your race in erecting a nice school building at this place," while another committee of the rural community of Auburn, Ala., says: "We, the white people of this community, wash to say to the friend that is helping the colored people through Booker T. Washington to build better schoolhouses and foster education, indorse and appreciate the aid given the colored people of this community. And this is the sentiment of all concerned." Thus in his new role the negro of Macon county is serving two gallant ends. He is educating himself in the larger duties of citizenship and is converting the white folks to faith in education of the negroes. In a French competition for $100,000 in prizes for the greatest inventions for safety in aviation, a Nova Scotia inventor will enter a parachute, folded on the tail of an aeroplane and attached to an aviator by harness. Through the medium of an agricultural bulletin, the government is endeavoring to bring about a reform in the matter of shipping eggs. Millions of dollars are needlessly lost in this manner annually. Sidon oval blood oranges from Palestine' are the most prized in the world, according to a firm of fruit brokers in Liverpool, which is now importing nearly a million boxes of oranges into England. A complete wireless outfit is made to be carried on a trailer behind an automobile for special purposes, such as big sporting events where there happens to be no wireless station. A suspension bridge with a main span 2,700 feet long is proposed for the Mersey river at Liverpool. The volume of water estimated to be contained in the oceans and the inland seas connected with them is 323,800,000,000 cubic miles. The tail light of the automobile is now fitted with an alarm which gives the signal if any accident puts it out of commission. Improved sanitation methods introduced at the instance of an American have cut down the prevalence of malaria and other diseases in Jerusalem. "WON'T FAVOR ANY RACE." WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29. —"I desire to be just to every class of citizen without respect to color. Any appointment brought to my attention will receive due consideration whether it apply to white or black." President Wilson today made public his attitude toward the black race in these words. His statement was in answer to what he stood on the question of Negro appointees to office, made by Representative Henry George of New York. Mr. George stated a number of Colored constituents had asked him to ascertain President Wilson's personal attitude to ward their race. The above is simply ridiculous. President Wilson long ago announced that he would make appointments only on the recommendation of his cabinet officers, all of whom are prejudiced southerners, or are thoroughly dominated by prejudiced southern democratic influence. To date, his "desire to be just to every class of citizen without respect to color" has been most conspicuous as a result of its failure to cause the President to do or even say anything whatever in our behalf. He has sat quietly in the White House ever since his inauguration and seen his cabinet officers and other subordinate officials of the government under him, "fire" from federal office scores of Afro-Americans until hardly one is left. With one exception, and that Dr. Buckner of Indiana, Minister to Liberia, Africa, and a Oklahoma Negro whose appointment as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, was promptly withdrawn, the president has steadfastly refused to appoint any of our race to office. More and worse: He has, to date, persistently refused to say or do anything whatever to estop the vices segregation of Afro-American clerks in several governmental departments at Washington, D. C. Not one word of encouragement to the race has escaped his lips since his inauguration, and, in saying this, we do not meaningless statement in the first sentence of the Washington, D. C., dispatch, to the daily papers of the country, reprinted above. When it comes to this race of ours, the writer can remember distinctly what a disappointment were Presidents Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and even Cleveland; but little less than all of these, President Woodrow Wilson has already proven himself to be. We are frank to say that The Gazette is not greatly disappointed in him because we expected it. During the last national campaign we did our level best to warm our people, especially those who called themselves democrats, and those who, as "independents", were supporting Candidate Wilson. Some one should remind the President of the old and very, true saying, that "talk is cheap, but action speaks louder than words." In his case, it is true, we have had very little talk. It is also true that we have had very little action. AS TO "JIM CROW" ROLLER RINKS. & C Cleveland, O., Sept. 30, 1913. 213 Prospect Bldg. Editor Gazette, Dee Sir.-The writer wishes to take exceptions to your editorials relative to Fred T Berry and Luna Park roller rink as published in your paper, The Gazette, under date of Sept. 20, 1913. Luna Park roller rink will be opened on Monday and Wednesday evenings for Colored patrons only and this is at the wish and request of some of the best and most prominent Colored people of this city. After talking to a colleague who was involved in a violent attack on Mr. Berry they have stated your editorials were entirely uncalled for. Mr. Berry works and receives his salary from Colored people and your abuse of him through your paper only tends to draw the lines tighter between the white and Colored races. You also through these same editorials ask your readers to have some "race respect." They certainly show race respect when they demand and receive a skate and that no white people are allowed on the floor at these times. Are you, Mr. Editor, aware of the above facts? Did you at the time you aspired to be elected to the General Assembly of Ohio in the year 1908 refuse the support of any race or class of people? At that time you asked my support to help in your election, and it was gladly given to you. Should you care to, some little inquiry on your part will convince you that the above mentioned statements are positive facts and can be learned from that you will one away from our roller rink and from patronizing Mr. Berry will only prove futile. Trusting that you will rectify your statements and print this letter in the columns of your valuable paper, I am. Very truly yours. Geo. H. Wetzel. Manager Luna Park Roller Rink. Office of THE GAZETTE Blackjack Bidg., Cleveland, O., Oct. 1, 1913. Mr. George H. Wetzel. No. 213 Prospect Building, City. Dear Sir: Your letter of recent date received. It contained so many errors which are doubtless the result of incorrect information, and as my time is so limited, I hardly have time to give it the attention I would like to. In the first place, my paper has had no "editorial" reference to Fred. T. Berry; secondly, we have no apology to make for references we have made to the color-lines drawn in Luna Park; then again, you are very much mistaken when you say, "that some of the best and most prominent Colored people of this city" wish a "jim-crow" roller rink at Luna Park, or elsewhere in this city. I have no objection to your "taking exception", "talking to a number of Colored people", nor am I concerned as to the source of Mr. Berry's "salary", or for whom he "works". The fact that "white" people are not allowed on the floor on the evenings you mention, certainly does not lessen the infraction of the Ohio Civil Rights' law, or lessen the insult to both white and Colored people. You do not seem to realize that you and Mr. Berry are breaking the law when you draw a color-line against white and coloring people as well as insulting both—by a denial of citizen rights, in the most aggravating manner, at the Luna Park roller rink. You ask me, "if I am aware of the above facts?"—having relation to the preceding portion of your letter which contains no facts, except the statement that the "Luna Park roller rink was open for Colored patrons only," on certain evenings. When I was a candidate for the legislature, I certainly was not foolish enough to draw a Color-line against either white or Colored people. This in answer to your question as to whether I "refused the support, of any race or class of people in 1908". Further-more, if it had been necessary, to secure your support or that of any other person that I draw a color-line or run a "jim-crow" roller rink, I would never have received it. I have too much self and race respect, to say nothing of my respect for all other classes of people, to do such a silly and insulting thing. In conclusion permit me to assure you that you are placing a very low estimate on the intelligence of the "best and most prominent Colored people of this city" when you say that the plain statement of facts appearing in The Gazette from time to time, anent my peoples' patronizing "jim-crow" or color-line places of amusement, etc., will not estop them from patronizing such places. This, also, shows your lack of knowledge of conditions, classes, etc., in this community. Yours, etc. HARRY C. SMITH. THE GOVERNOR AND WARDEN, QUR FRIENDS. Ohio, at last, has an up-to-date governor, in his excellency, the Hon. James M. Cox, of Dayton. This fact our people were forced to recognize, however disinclined they may have been to do so, when he pardoned Louis H. Peck, an Afro-American, who was sent from Akron, about a dozen years ago, to serve a life-sentence at hard labor, in the Ohio penitentiary, after a face of a trial of about two minutes in court; convicted of criminal assault upon a little girl (white)—a crime of which he was wholly inro Gov. James M. Cox. cent. A number of us, with a few good white friends, had labored for more than ten years to secure Peck's release, governor after governor, as well as the Board of Pardons, being appealed to repeatedly, in vain. Desperate, and almost as a last resort, an appeal was made to Governor Cox with the result stated above. Our success was undoubtedly due to the fact that Ohio's chief executive, a man of exceptional ability and energy, is fortunate in having had splendid training in public matters, having served with distinction in the congress, and being engaged in the daily newspaper business, as a publisher, in his home town for years. Lash week, October 9, September 22, March padion day," on the recommendation of the Hon. rreston E. Thomas, warden of the Ohio penitentiary, and others, our big-hearted Governor pardoned two members of the race, in honor of the day, liberating John Taborn, sixty-six years of age, after 43 years' imprisonment, the oldest prisoner in point of servitude in the history of the Ohio penitentiary; and Joseph Chancellor, who was serving ten years for "shooting to wound." When Taborn entered the penitentiary Ulysses S. Grant was president of the United States. There weren't any electric lights in those days and the telephone was unknown. Even bicycles were not in use then, while automobiles and electric cars were not even dreamed about. There were no plonings when Taborn began his term. And the aeroplane and wireless telegraphy—well, the wildest imagination couldn't have pictured them as they are today. Yet all these have come within the 43 years that Taborn has spent behind the pen walls. Since Taborn entered, 33,658 prisoners have been received at the pen. "Uncle Johi" rode up town in Columbus from the penitentiary in the automobile of Dr. O. M. Kramer, penitentiary physician, who has shown a great interest in him. Warden Thomas deputized Frank O'Blenness, his secretary, to stay with the old man until he was safely on the train and see that he did not get run over by street cars or automobiles. On the way up Spring street, Columbus, the old ex-prisoner leaned out of the automobile, his BUCKEYE • LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

Thomas. eyes darting from one to another of the many new objects that met his gaze. He was so deeply interested that he did not hear several remarks addressed to him. He was taken immediately to the governor's office, as he had asked, in order to express his thanks for his pardon. Two big tears stood in his eyes as he thanked the governor. "They had talked about letting me out so often that I had really given up all hope of seeing the world again," he said. Governor Cox expressed a hope that the old man would be careful, live right and let him hear from him. "You were sent to the penitentiary the same year that I was born," the governor said. "Uncle John" shook his hand, walked. halfway across the room and then returned to shake his hand again. "I'll do the best I can," he declared. Of course, he will; and there are others of the race in and out of Ohio, in addition to Taborn and Chancellor, who are not going to forget the Peck, Tabron, Chancellor and Charles Hawkins incidents, or Governor Cox or Warden P. E. Thomas either. In this number must be counted the "old reliable" Gazette. It seems that all of our real friends are not yet dead; nor are all of them republicans. Governor Cox and Warden Thomas are democrats. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. A Grand Success—The Speakers— Something on what Was Done and Said. Cadiz, O.—The fifty-first anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation was appropriately celebrated here by a splendid program rendered in the Princess auditorium, the evening of September 22. Patrolotic songs were sung by the schoolchildren, assisted by the band and orchestra. Short but interesting addresses were made by Prof. W. H. Lucas and Mr. R. R. Beetham, postmaster. The address of the evening, however, was delivered by Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, to an appreciative audience, in which were some of our best white citizens—some personal friends and admirers of the speaker: Gen. D. A. Hollingsworth, ex-Congressman; Dr. J. A. B. Smith, Smith reviewed the history of the Negro from 1619 to date, paying eloquent tributes to Crispus Attuck, Peter Salem, Salem Poor and other of our Revolutionary war heroes; Phyllis Whealey, the poetess, and many other distinguished members of the race both male and female. He was a member of the Negroes in other lands—the Russian poet, Pushkin; the French author, Dumas; Toussaint L'Ouverture, the West Indian general, statesman and martyr; Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the famous composer of England; of Henry O. Tanner, the most famous American painter of the century; of Edmona Lewis, who excelled in sculpture; her successor, and many others. Mr. success gave some astounding centennial progress since 1863, which he has printed, in part, in The Gazette, in recent months, starting with nothing in 1834, to-day the Negro pays taxes on $600,000,000 real estate, and $300,000,000 personal property, &c. He concluded with an earnest plan for economizing. All who heard this splendid address could not help having a greater pride in our race, with an inspiration to accomplish greater things in the future. While here Mr. Smith was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Lee in their beautiful new home. It is an up-to-date eight-room house finished in oak with all the modern conveniences. Mr. and Mrs. Lee have four as interesting rooms, with a kitchen, to meet, and their home-life is ideal. He left Tuesday morning early for Cleveland, delighted with his stay in Cadiz. We hope to have him with us again ere long. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. No had voice been raised against Injidence, ignorance and lust; the Inquisition would yet serve the law, and gullotines decide our last disputes.

The three bad Negroes who caused all the trouble, "squabbling" in the white man's pool room, escaped. --- While on his vacation, recently, Mr. Andrew McSpadden met a number of comrades of the war of the rebellion, in the soldiers' Home at Grand Rapids, Mich., and one in Benton Harbor, Mich., with whom he enlisted in the spring of 1884. "Mac" says, "you can imagine the time we had." Also that our people of Grand Rapids have more well kept homes than any place he has visited, and that there is no segregation whatever. "There were no idle men or women of the race, either—not one." The Gazette is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Alberta Sweet Fields, a former resident of this city, now located in Pasadena, Cal., in which she speaks of the great abundance of fruit out there, this year, and also of the great success of former Clevelanders and Ohioans in that second of the country. Prof. J. Z. Horton, a bright graduate of Shaw University at Raleigh, N. C., principle of the Industrial Institute at Falson, N. C., is in the city soliciting funds to meet some present demands. He is strongly recommended by the president of Shaw University and a host of friends. The institution promises to be one of the best in the state, and is doing a great good. Dr. John E. Hunter of Lexington, Ky., a resident of this city and Oberlin where he attended college, many years ago, was in the city, several days last week, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Dale of Central Av. Dr. Hunter came north perimeter of Oberlin College, He and Miss Violto Holmes were entertained at dinner last Friday noon, by the editor of The Gazette. --- The following funerals have been reported by J. W. Wills & Co., leading funeral directors: Paul Robinson, age 19, died at his residence, 3520 Central Ave. Oct. 26. Funeral services from the Wills & Co. funeral parlor, Monday, Oct. 29, at 2 P. M. Deacon thurson of Antich Baptist church, officiating, in East Chestnut cemetery, Mary Evelyn Dolby, 7 died at the residence, 2149 Central Ave. Oct. 28, as the result of an accidental burn in November. Her remains were shipped to Huntington, W. Va., for burial. M. L. Matlock was host, last Wednesday evening, in honor of Mrs. Matlock's birthday at their home on Saratoga Ave. S., W. The living-rooms were decorated with asters and gold-enrod; the dining-room, with autumn leaves and home-grown grapes on the vines, in harmony with the pink panther. Mrs. Matlock was a beautiful pink velvet blouse draped skirt with silver trimming. While guests were enjoying a buffet-lunch, whist, dancing and other amusements, Mrs. Matlock cut a large cake to find a heavy gold-ring set with sapphire, the gift of Mr. Matlock. Many other guests were received. The other famous guests were Ella Jenkins and D. C. Murray of Canton, and Mrs. Patterson of Chicago. A member of the organization sends The Gazette the following: "The Churches' Civic and Improvement League is an organization composed of thirty young men from six of our largest churches. These young men have been working diligently for the past six weeks, gathering evidence against saloons in Central Ave. and that vicinity that have been violating the Sunday school and the midnight-orderances. Their efforts have been successful, for they have filed with the Cuyahoga County Lionier License Commission fourteen affidavits against ten saloons. Some of these latter are very disreputable places indeed. Women, and young girls under age, were seen in them, drinking and indulging in improper language with men. Since the year the license has taken advantage of the opportunity it affords to strike at the very root of the evil in Central Ave. There are twenty-eight saloons on the avenue, between E. 14th and E. 55th streets. At least 20 of them are supported, almost entirely by our people. Approximately $5,000 a year is spent by our of this locality for the church. This organization will stay. We are aware that the saloons in Central Ave. and vicinity, at least, obey the law. We are co-operating with the Anti-Saloon League and the Baptist Brotherhood." THE NEW OGDEN. THE NEW At last the Ogden Theatre is now in smooth order. Some people experienced for two or three days in getting things right about the moving picture machine, as it was new and did not run acceptably. Three different machines were installed in four days and now an elegant picture is being produced and the best of satisfaction is gauderville. This week the program of gauderville is above all about howling success. This act on the bill is Smith and Baker, strong singers and commedians. Their act goes with a howl. Next comes Billy Cumby, monologist, singer and wood-shoe dance. His work is clean and legitimate. The third act introduces Nickerson and an well known to China audiences. The fact that Nickerson is a real comedian and to create fun and laughter is part of his nature and is not an effort upon his part. Nickerson's partner is the well known Emett Anthony, who for the past season has made such a viable reputation in work. He is clean and thorough, and immersed in Anthony are capable of filling a responsible spot on any stage. The fourth and last act is Seals and Fisher, real comedians and singers. It is a pleasure to the management of a theatre to present an act like Seals and Fisher to its patrons. Their comedy is suitable for children and is a credit to any stage. Babe is the author of the well known song, "Baby Fisher's Blues," and he sings it in a manner that is a revelation. It tells the story of a lonesome man, longing for his sweetheart, and is one of the few "Lament" songs which will live in music as a classic. Next he presents an Ogden presents an new show of Dudley Vaundell, headed by Aller and a thoroughly recognized hundred act. Miss Ogden's venture is proving a big success, and the house is playing to standing room every evening—Adv. A Judge Led Lynchship to Vicksburg, Miss. "Four" well-known white citizens of Harrison, Miss., were killed and five more dangerously wounded and seven Negroes slain, Sept. 28, as the result of a drunken brawl by two Negro brothers, Willett and Will Jones, aged 16 and 15, respectively. Sixteen Negroes were injured. (The real number of whites killed and injured is seldom if ever told.-Editor.) Judge Jefferson Truly, a prominent citizen of Fayette, Miss., near Harrison, admitted, on Monday, that he led the mob which lynched two Negroes at Harrison, Sunday. Truly and associates will not be prosecuted; of course. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC.
