WEALTHY MAN DIES Charles Gilbert Had Just Returned From a Hunting Trip and Was Waiting to Take Train to New York. Cody, Wyo.—Charles Gilbert Gates, son of the late John W. Gates, died suddenly in the Burlington depot here Tuesday afternoon. Death was due to heart failure. Mr. Gates was many times a millionaire. He was 37 years old. At the time he was stricken, Mr. Gates, together with a party of easterners who had accom- panied him on a hunting trip in the wilds of Wyoming, was waiting to take a train for New York. The hunting trip, which lasted over a month, ended a week ago, since which time the party had been guests at a rustic lodge near here. Tuesday preparations were made for the return east. Trophies and baggage had been taken to the depot, which is about a mile from Cody, and the interval until train time was given over to a dis- cussion of the successful hunt just ended. "This is the greatest big game country on the globe," declared Gates. "Henceforth it will be my happy hunting ground. I'll be back a year from now." He had scarcely uttered the words when he was seized with a convulsion. Two physicians who were in the party attempted to relieve him, but their efforts were fruitless and he died in a few minutes. The body was brought back to Cody, prepared and shipped east. MURET IS FOUND GUILTY FRIEND OF SCHMIDT, CONFESSED SLAYER, IS CONVICTED OF COUNTERFEITING. New York City.—Dr. Ernest Muret, friend of Hans Schmidt, confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller, who has been on trial in the federal court for counterfeiting, was found guilty. On two counts of making and possessing counterfeiting apparatus, Muret held to waive the jury decided he was not guilty of spiracy with Schmidt to counterfeit United States gold certificates. The jury deliberated four hours, following rather a stormy session of the court, during which Schmidt, who was a witness, shouted that he and not Muret was the counterfeiter. Millionaires' Flat Sold. *New York City.*—In a real estate transaction involving approximately $3,500,000, "Millionaires" Flat," one of the costliest apartment houses in the world at the north corner of 5th- and 51st-at, has become the property of Arthur Curtiss James, according to announcement made. Among the tenants are former Gov. Levi P. Morton, Mrs. Elliott F. Shepherd, Victor Morawetz, Robert E. Tod, Lloyd Aspinwall, Murray Guggenheim, Elliu Root, Henry Goldman, Watson B. Dickson and others. Reports Fifteen Killed in Flight. Trinidad, Col. — According to a courier who arrived here Tuesday evening, 15 mine guards were killed and three strikers wounded in the battles in the morning at Hastings and Berwind, near Ludlow. The shooting began at 6 o'clock with more than 1,200 armed miners in the field. The miners, the courier stated, surrounded the tents occupied by the guards and began pouring a steady rifle fire into them. The bodies of the dead guards are said to have been removed to Ludlow. THE GAZETTE DIAZ CAN'T TALK WITH HIS FRIENDS Learns Life on Board U. S. Warship Is Prison-Like. THROUGH WITH REBELLIONS Refugee Declares That He Will Ask Nothing Better Than to Be Vera Cruz—Gen. Felix Diaz, now a refugee on the American battleship Louisiana, learned Wednesday that the privilege of asylum on a battleship carries with it restrictions not unlike prison regulations. By order of the admiral, Gen. Diaz is not permitted communication with any one from shore without his permission, and the admiral has given Gen. Diaz to understand that such permission will rarely be given. The enforcement of this order is rigid. "Will you please go below, sir," said the officer of the deck, saluting the general when he had begun a conversation with a man who had brought his baggage aboard. Diaz complied. Admiral Fears Plots. Admiral Fletcher explained that while he was willing to place his flagship at the disposal of Gen. Diaz as an asylum, he did not propose to expose himself to the criticism of making it a place for possible plotting. The disposition of Diaz and his companions has not yet been determined, but it appears probably that they will eventually be set ashore from one of the battleships, probably the Louisiana herself, when she sails from Mexican waters the first week in November. Through With Rebellions. Gen. Diaz has expressed his preference for Havana. He inquired of Mr. Lind, who visited him, if he thought landing him at Havana would embarrass the United States. It is likely that he will be landed at Key West, from which port he could proceed to Havana if he desired. With reference to the future, Diaz professes to be through with politics and rebellions, and says he will ask nothing better than to be permitted to live in peace abroad. ENDS 'ARMY SCANDAL' JUDGE VINDICATES CAPTAIN'S WIFE WHO WAS ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT. San Francisco, Cal.—Ending one of the most sensational "army scandals" in years, Superior Judge Graham denied the petition of Capt. Henry C. Merriam of the United States army for a divorce. Instead, the court granted Mrs. Merriam the custody of her daughter Charlotte and allowed her $75 a month as a separate maintenance. The decision is a complete vindication of Mrs. Merriam, who was accused of misconduct with a member of the staff of the governor of Louisiana. AUTHORESS IS DESTITUTE MRS. PHOEBE COUZINS AND HER BROTHER LIVING IN SQUALID ROOMS IN ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, Mo.—Mrs. Phoebe Couzins, 73, former United States marshal at St. Louis, author and lecturer of national reputation on political prohibition and anti-prohibition topics, and her brother, John Couzins, 63, are living in squall rooms at 2722 Pine-st and are in destitute circumstances, it has just become known. For the past six months Miss Couzins and her brother have been living at the Pine-st address, subsisting on their earnings from odd jobs and the charity of friends. FOR RURAL SANITATION FARMERS' WIVES MAKE KNOWN THEIR WANTS TO SECRE-TARY HOUSTON. Washington, D. C.—The department of agriculture is sending a series of letters to farmers' wives has become a correspondence school with courses in "how to make a farmer's life and a farmer's wife happy." Secretary Houston is so encouraged by the interest of the farm women that he is thinking of establishing a rural sanitation section and perhaps a home economic branch. The principal plea of the women has been for rural sanitation and piped water in the farm houses. Boy Finds Farming Pays. Joliet, Ill.—Kerner Kreimer, 19-year-old son of J. F. Kreimer, a farmer of Jackson township, Will county, has bought a 160-acre farm for $40,000, all of which he has realized himself from his share of the profits of his father's farm. The lad is a student of scientific agriculture and has taken a long course of home study from the University of Illinois. He has applied his knowledge in the management of his father's farm and has increased the earning of the farm 40 per cent. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. JEWS PROTEST INJUSTICE Hold Indignation Meeting in Washington; Dr. A. J. Carey Approves Action. A great mass meeting was held in Washington recently to protest against the action of the Russian government in prosecuting Mendel Bellis, a Jew of Klev, charged with "ritual murder." Although it has many times been proved false, this ritual murder has persisted against the Jews for hundreds of years. Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church, Chicago, sent the following telegram to the Washington mass meeting approving the protest and calling attention to the similarity of the treatment of the Jews in Russia and the colored Christians in the United States: Greeting. May your protest prove effective. May God aid you in disproving for all time the infamous "ritual murder." He has have treated colored Christians in about the same manner as Russian Christians have treated the Jews. Just now efforts are being made in some parts of the country to ghetto, from which your race has just emerged, and compel colored Americans to reside therein. Ghetto are also in active operation in some of the government offices in Washington. While you are protesting against the wrongs of your race in Europe kindly say a word against the oppression, persecution, denial of civil rights, segregation, and murder of minorities and murdered colored Christians by Caucasian Christians in the United States. CAPABILITIES OF R. N. DETT. Music Department at Hampton Institute Gains Zealous Young Songster. R. Nathaniel Dett of Drummondville, Camda, who is the author of two published suites, "In the Bottoms" and "Magnollas," both characteristic of the hopes and aspirations of colored Americans, is now teaching music at Hampton institute. Mr. Dett studied at the Oliver Willis Halsted Conservatory of Music in Lockport. N. Y., and took his degree at the Oberlin (O.) conservatory in piano and composition. "In the Bottoms" deals with the life of the many colored people living in the lowlands near the Mississippi river. The five pieces which compose it are "Nightfall In The Bottoms," the prelude; "His Song," which pictures an old colored man sitting over his work, humming a weird improvised strain; "Honey," characterized by coquettish, flirting music; "Barcarolle," a Mississippi boat song, and "Juba," a plantation dance. Mr. Dett is also the composer of short concert pieces, settings for Dumbar's poems and a concert waltz called "Inspiration." He is also the author of a book of verse called "The Album of a Heart." FISK UNIVERSITY REOPENS WITH RECORD ENROLLMENT. Member of Original Company Takes Part In Jubilee Day Exercises. With an enrollment of 300 students for the first week of the new school year, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. is emphasizing the slogan, "No step backward." The music department, with 103 students, is the scene of great activity. Jubilee day, which always brings happy receptions of the exodus of the first group of the Fisk jubilee singers over forty years ago, was an auspicious occasion for the whole student body. The impression which this band of sweet singers made on the public back in those early years of the race's freedom was the first pathetic note of slave songs heard in freedom, and it reverberated around the world. These songsters delighted great audiences all over the United States. They also toured Europe, where they were heard by the chief rulers in that faroff continent. It was very fitting, therefore, that at the jubilee day exercises Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, the pianist of the original jubilee singers, who still resides in Nashville, should take part in the program. Mrs. Moore gave a most thrilling account of the experiences of the company of young emancipated colored artists who introduced to the world a new song of life giving hope and aspiration. Educating Public Against Disease. Dr. Oscar Dowling of Shreveport, La., president of the Louisiana state board of health, has been traveling over the state in the "educational-bygiene exhibit train" recently in the special interest of the colored people, giving close attention to health conditions among them. By lectures and moving pictures Dr. Dowling and his assistants have been showing the public how to prevent tuberculosis, pneumonia and other diseases from declating their ranks. Schedule of College Football Games. The schedule of games between the football teams of Hampton institute, Lincoln, Shaw and Howard universities for the month of November is as follows: Lincoln against Hampton at Lincoln university Saturday, Nov. 8; Howard against Hampton at Hampton Nov. 14; Shaw against Hampton at Hampton Thursday, Nov. 27. The players are already practicing for the contests with marked vigor. Internal Revenue Collector Blalock. There is not anything new or strange in the reported intention of Internal Revenue Collector Blalock in Atlanta to deprive all colored men of political office holding under his administration. Things were different under the regime of his predecessor, the Hon. Henry S. Jackson. Former Secretary of State of Liberia Was a Potent Factor In Our Racial Life—Man of Wonderful Intellect Whose Moral Courage Was Sublime Under the Most Trying Deals. BY JOHN E. BRUCE. At this time, when the colored race in America is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation which legally freed the race from the curse of human slavery as goods and chattels, it is quite in keeping with the spirit of the times to give to the American people the record of colored men and women who have achieved success. Although not a native American, Edward Wilmot Blydon was intimately associated with the struggles and aspirations of the colored race in America and other parts of the world during his whole life. Born in the Danish island of St. Thomas seventy-nine years ago, the late Edward Wilmot Blydon came to the United States when seventeen years of age to seek an education, but, finding prejudice against his race, he turned his face toward Liberia, where, after a few months' residence, he entered the high school under the care of Rev. David Wilson. He soon rose to the headship of this school and in 1862 was elected to a professorship in the newly founded Libertian college. In 1864 he was appointed secretary of state by the president of Liberia, and for two years he combined the duties of both offices. In 1869 he made a journey to the east, visiting Egypt and Syria chiefly with a view to studying Arabic. In 1871 he resigned his professorship, and after a brief visit to Europe he spent two years in Sherra Leone, during which time he was sent by the governor of the colony. Sir John Pope Hennessy, on two diplomatic missions to the powerful chiefs of the interior. His report on one of these expeditions is published at length in the proceedings of the Royal Geographical society. In 1877 he was made minister plenipotentiary of the republic of Liberia at the court of St. James and was received by the king. In 20, 1878, being introduced by the Marquis of Sallisbury, then secretary of state for foreign affairs. He was soon after elected an honorary member of the famous Athenaeum club of London. In 1880 he was elected fellow of the American Philological association. In 1882 he was made a corresponding member of the Society of Sciences and Letters of Bengal. He grew personally Lord Brougham, W. E. Gladstone, Dean Stanley, Charles Dickens and Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass and Frederic Harrison. When the question of the delimitation of the Liberian boundary was raised by France some eight or nine years ago he was appointed by the government of Liberia as ambassador to France to negotiate with the French government in the settlement of that question and was received by the president of France July 4, 1905, in his office as ambassador of the black republic. In 1911 he was elected a corresponding member of the Negro Society For Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y., in recognition of which he sent a collection of his published works, "Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race." "Africa Before Europe," "Liberia's Offering" and pamphlets on kindred subjects. At the time of his death he was an associate editor of the African Mail, published at Liverpool. Some years ago Dr. J. E. Henderson in an article in the Colored American at Washington said: "Dr. Blyden is a man without a country. He allies neither with the Negro of Africa nor the Afro-American." Commenting on this brilliant outburst in a letter to the writer, he said: "Now, this is absurd. It is not what a man allies himself with, but what he really is, that counts. Dr. Henderson allies himself with the Negro race, but only because he is not allowed to ally himself with the white race. But his alliance with the Negro race does not make him a Negro. "On the other hand, Dr. Blyden's country is Africa by race and heritage, whatever he pleases to ally himself with. Nobody who has ever seen him will think that he can pass for Indian or European. As soon as he is seen he is known at once as an African—identified on sight. It would require only the microscopic insight of the south to identify Dr. Henderson at sight." Writing from Paris under date of Aug. 19, 1905, he, among other things, wrote: "But why should the cause of the Negro be discredited in America? What has he done to deserve such treatment? What has he not done to merit better? It is consolatory to know that all the greatest minds who have ever lived in America and now live there (say the greatest minds) have given him and do give him the credit he deserves, but they are comparatively few. These few, however, know that the Negro was at the bottom of the civilization of the southern states. This is obvious at the first, the most superficial glance at his history there. Africa furnished the men without whom the vast industrial and agricultural work in the early days would have been impossible. "But the so called dark continent also furnished the women without whom the still more important work of producing the physically and intellectually strong men could not have been accomplished. The greatest statesmen whom the United States have produced were produced in the south, men who chiefly governed the country until the great civil war-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and all that followed, including Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun and Robert E. Lee. These men all had black nurses, and to this day in the south the traditions of the aunties linger as among the most cherished memories of the aristocratic families. "But since the black auntie has disappeared from her post in the great families and has ceased to preside at the cradle and in the nursery of the south no such men have appeared as distinguished the history of that country before the late unpleasantness. The secret of this deficiency is known to the African. "In geography Africa has been called Arida Nutrix Leconium—the dry nurse of lions." "So in the early political history of the United States the same description is applicable to the 'gray haired mother of civilization.' Lions in church and state were born out of her struggles and sufferings." In a letter just at hand from Dr. Majola Agbeil, written at Ioland, in the interior of the west coast, he writes: "Dr. Blyden and myself had a touching conference on the steamship Akabo on Nov. 19 last. He spoke to me as a father to his son and communicated to me certain thoughts. He was then very poorly from aneurism and was taking a round trip for his health. He then remarked to me that he was living by the day, but before we parted he was brightening up, though one of his eyes has grown dim. He will be eight years of age on Aug. 3 of this year." Edward Wilmot Blyden was a potent factor in our racial life. There can be no question that his death has left a vacancy which cannot be easily filled. He was a great man, a great scholar, a great Negro, and our African cousins will feel more keenly perhaps than we his loss. He had triple courage, which imparted to him immense strength. His physical bravery knew no fear, his moral heroism was sublime, but above all these was the courage of his great intellect. GOOD NEWS FROM LIBERIA. West African Republic Receives Liberal Financial Aid For Schools. Monrovia, Liberia — All Liberia is rejoicing over the good news that the American Colonization society has turned over to Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian representative in the United States, $6,511.11, to be used for public and industrial education in the little West African republic. President Howard, members of the cabinet, Commissioner of Education Payne and other prominent personages are loud in DR. ERNEST LYON. their priases of the interest of the society, as well as the success of Dr. Lyon's efforts. The money turned over will be a great aid to Liberia in its efforts to provide adequate educational facilities. Added to this benefit will be the annual interest of several thousand dollars coming from the Caroline Donavan fund, of which the big sum turned over to Dr. Lyon represents the accrued interest. Dr. Lyon's residence in America is at Baltimore. There is a government college in this city, one supported by the M. E. church, and a number of denominational schools in the interior. The government also supports a number of schools in the interior, but there is a general feeling that the educational facilities should be increased. Dr. Lyon probably knows more about Liberian needs and conditions than any man in America, having served nearly eight years as the American minister and consul general to this country. His knowledge of conditions here was evidenced in his frequent reports to the state department at Washington and in his successful efforts in having a commission sent from the United States in 1900 to study conditions at first hand. Importance of Literary Societies. The reopening of literary organizations and the startling of new debating societies in the various sections of the country this fall are indications of a desire among the people for advancement. The discussion of topics with which individuals have to deal in connection with business, education, religion and morals is always helpful. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COP AFRO-AMERICA This is the story of a negro youth who came to New York not so long ago penniless, alone and friendless, and who has advanced himself from the occupation of sign painter until he has become a painter of landscapes and other pictures. His work has been exhibited in a Fifth avenue art gallery and some of his pictures have been bought by Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, and by art connoisseurs from Europe. Incidentally he has been taken up by New York painters of note, among them members of the National academy. Richard Lonsdale Brown is the name of this negro artist, and he is twenty-one years old. Grandson of a slave and son of a black man who is a bricklayer and tile layer by turns, he was born in Indiana, but when a child was taken by his parents to West Virginia. There he lived until he came to New York. He taught himself all he knew of landscape painting until he came to Manhattan to seek an education as an artist. He told his story the other day in his studio in Harlem. "I was a little less than a year old when my parents took me to Parkersburg, W. Va., from my birthplace, Evansville, Ind., where my father had worked at his trade of tile layer," he said. "When I was old enough I went to public school and when ten years of age moved with his father and mother to Pittsburgh. Later we went to Charleston, W. Va., where I entered a trade school and worked to become a sign painter. "I remained there five years, and being then a journeyman sign painter I traveled through the mining districts of the estate, working at my trade. My journeys took me almost altogether through the mountains—through those mountains where, when God made them, he placed scenery the equal of which, I think, cannot be found in all America. "I had confidence in myself and knew I was worthy of better things than painting signs, but I needed the money for my daily living and so kept on doing that which brought me food and lodging, but whenever I could I did landscapes as well as other subjects. I was determined that some day I would come to New York, where I might have an opportunity to do something higher in the art scale than sign painting. "At last the day came when I decided to make the plunge. I left West Virginia with a small trunk and my paintings and came to New York. I rented a cheap room and the day after my arrival started out to sell some of my paintings, for my money was nearly all gone. Knowing that the art galleries were in Fifth avenue I went there. "Things are better with me now than then, but as I look back I can recall the chill which seized me as I entered several art shops with three or four of my landscapes under my arm. I was greeted with a cold stare and an inquiring look. Instinctively I felt the men in the shops were asking themselves, 'What does this negro want here?' "I braced myself and said, 'My name is Brown. I have some' paintings to sell. 'What Brown? I never heard of you,' was the reply. 'No, we're not buying pictures today, Brown,' and the man smiled and turned his back. "I walked for days up and down Fifth avenue and some of the side streets, visiting art stores in my desperate anxiety to sell some pictures whereby I might get food and pay my room rent, but it was the same story That the colored youths of the District are given greater opportunity for education than anywhere else in the world, was the declaration of President Henry P. Blair of the Washington board of education, at a meeting of the colored teachers of the public schools. The meeting was held at the M Street High School. In addition to President Blair, the following other educators of the District addressed the meeting: Former President of the Board of Education Capt. James P. Oyster, R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of the colored public schools; Mrs. Carolina W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs President Blair declared that with the facilities offered them the colored youth of Washington should "give a good account of themselves." He assured the teachers that the policy of the board in affording equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster reminded the teachers and officials that they always would find him ready to serve them. While a woman may be able to turn an austere countenance toward other lures for the unwary, she never is able to resist the temptation to buy her husband a cravat. Women excel men in the respect that they can remember the date of their wedding anniversaries and the ages of their children. If a man be naturally inefficient and worthless, the possibility that he may become a weather prophet assumes the aspect of a probability. everywhere. No one seemed to take me seriously. Indeed, in some places I could see they thought I had perhaps stolen the pictures and was trying to dispose of them. "Day after day I visited art stores, but always with the same result. Then I remembered I had seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art here a painting called 'In the Garden,' done by George de Forest Brush, who painted 'Silence Broken,' 'Mourning Her Brave,' and 'The Sculptor and the King,' the subjects for which he found when he was visiting New Mexico, and also the painting 'Leda and the Swan,' which was in the collection of the late Stanford White. "I began to think that perhaps I was without actual talent for painting and that I had overestimated my ability, and that this was why the art dealers of Fifth avenue would not give my work consideration. Desperate and with hope nearly gone, I determined to see Mr. Brush and ask him to look at my pictures and give me an honest opinion as to whether they had merit. I called at his studio in Macdougal alley, near Washington square, and told him my story. "He asked to see my work. When I showed it to bim he told me I did have talent, but that I needed directing. He promised to help me, and he did. What I owe him in gratitude I can never repay. I went to Keene, N. H., near which place Mr. Brush had his summer home and studio. I studied under him and, by his guidance, my work improved greatly. After the summer ended I came back to New York and entered the American Academy of Design. "Meanwhile I kept up my studio work. I offered a number of my paintings to an art dealer in Fifth avenue, near third-second street, for exhibition purposes. They remained on exhibition for several weeks. There one of them I called 'Mount Monadnock, N. H.' was seen by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, who bought it. Last winter Mr. Albert Andriesse, an art connoisseur of Amsterdam, Holland, who was visiting New York, bought another, which I named 'A Bend in the Stream.' I hope to go to Paris to study next year. "May I say without being thought guilty of egotism or a desire to boast, which is far from my intention, that I think that what I have accomplished and what has been accomplished by other negroes in other lines gives proof that the negro is capable of worthy things, and that the conception of many white persons that the negro is good for nothing but manual labor and such other work as does not call for much mental effort is not only unfair but incorrect? "After a people have been held down for centuries, as we have been, is it to be expected that we should in only fifty years of freedom equal or even approach the white race in every particular? Many persons, even today, gain their ideas of the negro from story books, while it is a fact that many educated persons who have not had the opportunity to know the negro at close range still regard him as but little more removed from the position in society he occupied while a slave. "Meanwhile, the sensible, honest-minded negro everywhere throughout the United States is endeavoring to do the work God gave him to the best of his ability and understanding, confident that in time God will set all things right."—New York Sun. The colored people in the south are better off financially than the colored people of the north, according to Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, in an address at the services of the National Colored Evangelistical convention of America, in the Cosmopolitan Baptist church at Washington. Among the other speakers were Rev A. L. McKee of New York, Rev. Mr. Hunkerford, Rev. Howard Barnes Mrs. Nannie Williams, Mrs. Ida Butch er, Mrs. Julia Palmer, Mrs. Lizzie King, Rev Samuel Lawrence of North Carolina, Dr. G. W. Bailey of New Jersey, G. W. Coffey of Pennsylvania and Thomas Tyler of Baltimore.

Cleveland SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1913. Possibly the most plitful subject in all this country, today, is the Negro democrat, who still has his "car to the ground and his eyes turned to Washington, D. C.," awaiting a presidential appointment to office, he will never receive. This applies to about all of them, too. Those of our people who are making money will please remember that next year, this country will be suffering, in a business way, from the evil effects of the democratic Congress' (and President Wilson's) ill-advised tariff and currency legislation. Better save your money, because you will have great need of it, next year. The splendid work on the rostrum and in the daily press of the country, against the Wilson administration's vicious insulting segregation of Afro-American employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., being done by Mr. Oswald Garrison Villap, president of the N. Y. Evening Fost, and one of that leading newspaper's editors, is one of the most encouraging things the race has had for some time. He is entitled to all the praise we can give him. VOTE FOR JOSEPH E. ROBB! When in the city, a week or ten days ago. Theodore E. Burton, republican United States Senator and a resident of Cleveland, said his mission here had no political significance; that he had not talked with Harry L. Davis, a candidate for mayor; and that it was unlikely that he would participate in the mayority campaign. "Of course I've been here only a few hours," he explained. "My trip to Cleveland for a few days has no connection with politics and I haven't BEEN ASKED TO ASSIST Mr. Davis Anyway, I understand that this campaign is of a nonpartisan nature." Senator Burton left Cleveland with out saying anything more and has remained silent ever since. WHY Just prior to the senator's arrival in Cleveland, Harry L. Davis, announced through the local daily press that he was NOT the REPUBLICAN candidate for mayor. This undoubtedly explains his failure to invite the republican leader of Cleveland and the State of Ohio, U. S. Senator T. E. Burton, to assist him in this campaign. It, in all probability, also explains the willful insult he gave the great mass of our voters in this community, when he selected, as his Colored political leaders, such individuals as Charlie Crawford, John Fulton and Tom Fleming. This too, in spite of a very proper warning, and in face of the fact that he promised NOT to do that very thing. Of vastly greater importance than the foregoing, is the fact that the low-fare question has again become the prime issue in the campaign, because of the activity, financially and otherwise, of Harry L. Davie' main backers in this contest. His success at the election, on Tuesday next, will undoubtedly mean an early raising of street-car fare, from three to five cents, because it would also sweep into power, a majority of the members of the in-coming City Council, who as candidates, have already practically committed themselves to such an increase. Low-fare has been a great boon to the mass of our people in this community, because we are poor. Therefore, we can ill afford to so vote on Tuesday next, election day, as to promote the threatened increase in street-car fare. The Gazette is a republican paper and has been since its inception more than thirty years ago. There fore, we cannot support the candidacy of Mayor Newton D. Baker, democrat. Since there is no republican candidate for mayor, and the candidacy of Harry L. Davis threatens low street car fare we have decided to support the candidacy of Joseph E. Robb, $017 Silmon Ave. That Mr. Robb is a socialist, is not at this time material, but the fact that he is capable and stands for low street car fare, first, last and all the time, is of the supreme importance to our voters in this city at this time. Therefore, we call upon the Afro-American voters of Cleveland, to consult their own interests this time, holding them paramount to all others centered in this election, and so vote on Tuesday next, as to conserve, in the best possible manner, said interests. They will do this when they vote for Joseph E. Robb, for mayor, and have no second or third choice. THE COMPLETE CASE! Editor Gazette, Dean Sir: 'A you have always worked consistently, honorably and effectively for the Colored race, I wish to call your attention to a case in court in which one of the "leaders" of your people figured. I believe you to be broad-minded and that you know that there are bad people in all races—white, colored or the yellow races—as well as good people. I have a piece of property on Cedar Ave., which I was renting a year ago to a family by the name of Sheehan, and this is part of the testimony given upon which I won my case: One evening upon which the rent was due, I called for the rent and was told they would not pay the rent saying, "The alderman (Mr. Fleming) on Central Ave, told us we did not have to pay the rent until after we had paid." These people had been good tenants and I said to them that they knew rent always was paid in advance and that Mr. Fleming was not running my business, and if they refused to pay, the result would be that they would be put out. They still refused to pay and I bothered about until the time was up. Whereupon, they refused to pay all together stating as their reason that, "Mr. Fleming said they did not have to pay it." I took that and that I also told them their things. In about two weeks, I received a note from Mr. Fleming to come and see him and settle a bill for sickness, etc., resulting from putting these people (Sheehan's) out. I took the letter to Mr. Weaver and told him to write Mr. Fleming and tell him "nothing doing." Mr. Weaver did so and in another two weeks I got notice that I was sued for three hundred dollars and also for three hundred dollars. Think of it, so stupid and suit the case which cost the people of Cleveland, some one hundred and fifty dollars. My attorney told me that Mr. Fleming suggested to him to advise me to settle. There was not an iota of evidence against me—even the women's testimony cleared me. How Mr. Fleming got acquainted with these people I do not know. What would anyone think of me if I were a lawyer? I would be a affairs and then sues him and advises his lawyer to advise his client to set title? Any man practicing law who does not know better than what this party said Mr. Fleming told her, is not fit to be an attorney and any attorney giving such advice, is not fit to be a member of the bar, is he? Does he do this to others? Mr. Fleming's Reply. October 18, 1913. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I read with some amusement the latter from that unfair man, L. N. Fovargue, canonized on October 11, in your issue of October 18. I am surprised that a man with such hatred in his heart for my race, as Fovargue has, would send a letter to a newspaper printed in the interest of the Colored people. This man Fovargue, two years ago, in a letter he wrote to the City Council, was a member of the City Council from Ward 26, objected to having E. 25th Place opened through to Cedar Ave., because he (Fovargue) did not want Colored people on Cedar Ave., where he owns property. In this same letter he wrote to the City Council, in influence against this street opening Here is the exact language this man Fovargue wrote to Councilman Fitzgerald, speaking of me, dated July 3, 1913: "Besides making the letter public which I (Fovargue) wrote to Mr. Lafferty in regard to the opening of East 25th Place, I cannot forgive the people responsible for this, because the letter was private and personal to a brother belonging to the same Lodge as I do, Woodward Nummer 111, in the sentence in this letter which was fanned into a flame by some for personal gain and by others for revenge." Again, Mrs. John Sheehan, white, one of his tenants on Cedar Ave, brought suit against Fovargue last spring for forcibly electing her from his property. I was retained by Mrs. Sheehan to represent her in this mutually beneficial lawsuit. Low Fovargue said on the witness stand that he could not understand why Mrs. Sheehan went on Central Ave. and retained a Colored lawyer. He also wrote to Mr. Fitzgerald of July 3, 1913, these words: "How he (Fleming) got to giving this woman his council I do not know, for she was a white woman by the name Sheehan." When Fovargue says that Mr. Fitzgerald removed me from Precinct F Ward 11, as clerk, he tells a deliberate falsehood. I resigned on my own accord, as Mr. Edward Horn, then Deputy Clerk of the Board of Elections, will testify, for the reason that my business was such that I could not spare the time. I ask Fovargue: Why prevocate about Mr. Fitzgerald? Very truly yours. Thomas W. Fleming. This is a personal spite of Mr. Fleming's. Ist.-His assertion about E. 25th Place. The people on Cedar Ave., objected to the plan of opening E. 25th Pl. The plan called for only an alley some ten or twelve feet wide, and it was to be a "Bernstein-Elbow" alley. There was not a suggestion of object owner, and the street opening Ave. I rented that very house to a Colored family before and after the street-opening question. Of all property owners on Cedar Ave, I would receive the greatest benefit from the opening of E. 25th Pl. Financially, it would be fine. In the letter referred to (which I have a copy of), I used the word "trail," and that was what the street opening street was first class street. No sensible person would complain of such a word, but Mr. Fleming and two or three of his friends made political capital out of the use of the word, and many untrue assertions made and believed by the Colored people. It seems that three or four years ago, Mr. Fleming was dickering on some property that would be bought by the city when E. 25th Pl. was opened, and I bought the property, although I knew nothing of the enterprise, and if the street is opened I will gain the advantage. Mr. Fleming knows it will benefit me to have E. 25th Pl. opened. This seems to be the sore spot in Mr. Fleming--he missed making some money. 2nd.-In regard to the Sheehans having a Colored lawyer. His statement is a deliberate falsehood. I had the case take down, word for word, and no such statement was made. Besides it is an insult, to the readers of this paper, to tell them that a question bringing such an answer would be allowed in court, and such a statement was outside of the case. 3rd.—In regard to Mr. Fleming being taken out of an election booth, my statement was my understanding of what Mr. Fitzgerald did. Mr. Fleming ing may hate me, but I have been reared in the wrong kind of a family to be a hater of the Colored people. My father fought through the Civil War on the right side and we have always had Colored help and home both male and female. Any Colored man who knows me, knows I have treated him the best. Mr. Fleming's spite is not the Colored peoples' quarrel and they should pay no attention to it. Besides, I advise Mr. Fleming to be careful I says and cannot prove the may be dismissed from the bar, and there is a penalty for slander. Mr. Fitzgerald may be paying Mr. Fleming to swing the Colored vote to him, but dirty work, is not good politics. Yours very truly, L. N. Fovargue. —Adv.

SAM KABATCHNICK Who Has Proven Himself to Be Friend of Our People—a Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court. Who Has Proven Himself to Be a Friend of Our People—a Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court. EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC OFFICE: It is a well known fact that many evils have infested many of the Justice courts in this county, and Mr. Kabatchnick has endeavored, once he was elected in justice, the Peace for the city of Cleveland, to keep his court free from all of these degrading conditions that have surrounded these courts. One of the greatest evils is the appointment of special constables, and Mr. Kabatchnick has throughout his entire term steadfastly refused to appoint any special constable. He has also kept out of his court the so-called "hangers on" who hang around Justice courts, and have no other vocation than to prey upon innocent and unsophisticated persons who have occasion to call at the Justice courts for information and advice. RECOMMENDED by Civic League, formerly the Municipal Association SAM KABATCHNICK, present justice of the peace, resides at 2584 E. 55th St., age 30; high school, college and law school education; has served as city justice since January, 1910. Mr. Kabatchnick has striven hard to place his justice court on a high plane, as he commended the office of the state attorney and followed strictly the requirements of the statute, for paying into the city treasury all fees collected by his court. He has shown ability and has administered the office with fairness and intelligence. In the opinion of the members of the bar he would make a satisfactory judge of the municipal court. Recommended.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, September 1, 1913. MARK YOUR BALLOT THUS: X Sam. Kabatchnick DOINGS OF THE RACE. Five African postal clerks were dismissed at St. Longi, Mo., Oct. 16.

JUDGE FIELDER SANDERS Candidate for Re-election as Judge of the Municipal Court—A Long- Time Friend of the Race. One of the very best candidates for office, and for by the people of this city on Tuesday night, is Judge Fielder Sanders of the Municipal Court. No candidate for any office, is better or more favorably known in this community. For twelve years, Mr. Sanders has practiced law, and for two years prior to being elected to the bench, he was in the prosecution of the kidnapping of the organizers of the Municipal Court in which he has served the people, faithfully and well, for the past two years. He is so well known by our people of this city, because of his many acts of true friendship, that it is hardly necessary, that it be held on him on Tuesday next. The only way we can retain friends in office is, by doing this very thing, unitedly—Adv. M. B. VOTE FOR FITZGERALD. William S. Fitzgerald, who represents the 11th Ward in the City Council, is a candidate for re-election. His official record is one of which his office has been recognized for re-election. Mr. Fitzgerald is the republican leader in the council and generally recognized as one of the ablest men ever elected to that body. He introduced the ordinance which submitted to the people for vote the question of opening and extending Central, Cedar and Carnegie Aves. He also furthered the opening of E. 24th St. from Central Ave. to Cedar Ave. He lead the fight for pure water and finally forced the City Administration to adopt filtration. He has opposed every effort of the present administration to discriminate against members of the Colored race. He is a fair man in every respect. Best of all, Councilman Fitzgerald is never too busy to see and hear of his own behalf. Holding public office has not changed blm in the slightest degree. He should be returned to the Council by a larger majority than he received in 1911. (Adv.) THEODORE B. GREEN, ESQ., Candidate for the Council in the 11th Ward. To the Colored citizens of Cleveland and executively the 11th Ward; I take this means of calling your attention to the fact that I am a candidate for election to the city council from the Eleventh ward. This ward is the only one in which the Colored voter will have an opportunity to vote for a member of the race; and if elected, I will be the sole representative of the race in the body which for the next two years will have the law-making power of the City of Cleveland. I was born, reared and educated in this city, and for the past ten years have been engaged in the active practice of law here. All of my political activity has been in the 11th ward, having been a member of the old ward club, when it was called the 12th ward, and being now a member of the attackive Rountown Club. Thought of you know me, know how I have always opposed any discrimination against the race, having actively engaged in every movement towards its uplift. I am president of the Cleveland Association of Colored men, and most of you remember my activity of last winter when I, with the editor of The Gazette, Rev. H. C. Balley and the ladies of the Women's clubs, went to Columbus, fought and defeated the low, vicious, degrading and insulting anti-intermarriage bill. Elect me to the council and you will have a representative there who will always be "on the job, and of whom you will be an obstructionist and vote against any good measure simply because the other fellow thought of it first, and when my term is up, I promise you that I will not offer as an excuse for failure to do something of service for my constituents, "that my hands were tied."

Ford, cornet imitator; Miss Edna Holden, of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, accompanist, assisted by local musicians. The proceeds will be used to assist Miss Belle Harris, of this city, in her effort to complete a course in pedagogy at Howard University.

Mrs Blanche Gillmore, Mrs Ida Owens and Mrs Lena St. Johns constituted the club committee in charge of the arrangements for the musicale. AT THE ALPHA THEATER, SUNDAY, NOV 2nd, ZIGOMAR, No. 3. When the people hear, the name Zigomar they know that it means the best motion-picture that has yet been produced. Those who remember seeing Zigomar, Nos. 1 & 2, will remember that in No. 2 it was thought Zigomar had ended his life by taking poison, but we find in No. 3 that this was another trick of Zigomar's, and he is at large again with the Z gang. The thrilling and startling adventures of the king of bandits, the wondrous exploits of the master-mind of the chief features, makes this one of the greatest features ever produced, and it will be seen at the Alpha Theater, Sunday. Mr. Morris Edelman, the lessee of the Alpha Theater, intends to furnish the patrons of the Alpha Theater the best vaudelle and motion-pictures that can be secured regardless of cost.—Adv.

Columbus, O.-The cases against Leroy H. Godman, special counsel in the office of the Attorney General, and John P. Bowles, general agent for the General Accident Insurance Co. of Massachusetts, were dismissed. Mr. Bowles pleaded Saturday October 11. It develops that a political plot was behind the affair, Mr. Godman being the first Afro-American attorney to hold a position in the Attorney General's office, and thence he has always been a Republican appointed attorney by Gen. Browne, who is a Democrat. Some time ago Godman and Bowles were called to the residence of Mrs. Margaret Royal, a dresmaker, on business. Two white women, customers of Mrs. Royal, were at the house at the time seeing about some sewing. Enemies of the men called a lawyer, who were arrested on technical charges. The case against Mrs. Royal was the only one tried in court and a jury of twelve men acquitted her very promptly. The other cases were not tried, but dragged along until dismissed by Judge Black on October 11. Pending the court, the Mr. Godman did not fill his position in the Attorney General's office, but he returned to his desk, October 13, and was given a warm welcome by Attorney General Hogan and his associates.

STOLTE Candidate for the City Council in Ward 19—Capable and Deserv- Wm. H. Stolte, member of the City Council, Ward 19, is a candidate for the City Council at the coming election. For the brief time that Mr. Stolte has served in the Council, he has proved himself a man of deeds. He has been active in securing the opening of streets and the laying of roads. Mr. Stolte, the Lions Railroad Co., paid and provided a large saving to the taxpayers. He has also secured many electric lights at the intersection of streets, adding to the comfort and safety of the public. Mr. Stolte has been a resident of this ward for many years, and residues with his family on the property would be a just recognition of the services of a faithful servant—Ady. L. N. FOVARGUE, Republican Candidate For the Council in the 11th Ward. in the 11th Ward. Mr. L. N. Fovargue, one of the three republican candidates for the City Council in the city of Wichita, who resides at 2256 Carnegie Ave, was born in Cleveland, thirty years ago. His parents—Captain D. Fovargue, who served through both the Civil War and the Spanish American conflict, came to Cleveland in 1840; and his mother, Alice E. Mather, whose parents came to Cleveland from the city in 1825, being of the early set of immigrants, received his education in the Cleveland public schools, spent three years in a private school, has read law for the past four years, and has had ten years' business experience with one of the largest commercial houses in Cleveland. He also runs a truck farm in the suburbs of Cleveland and owns real estate in the eleventh ward. Mr. Fovargue worked for the extension of Central, Cedar, Carnegie Aves, and the Chestnut-Chester-Perkins route, and wishes E. 25th Place cut through rightly, making a real street and not a narrow "Bernstein-elbowed" alley as he has been advocated by previous councilmen. He is one of the everyday people of the ward and, if elected, will work for the many different races and nationalities living therein, whose welfare has been forgotten by former candidates as soon as elected. As has been indicated, Mr. Fovargue is a son of a veteran; and the Civil League considers him qualified for the position. VOTE FOR ENGLANDER! Candidate for the City Council in the Nineteenth Ward—Recommended By the Civic League. LOUIS ENGLANDER is candidate for the City Council from the 19th Ward. He has been recommended by the Civic League as honorable and industrious, and by the members of the bar as a man of ability and promise. Mr. Englander is a republican, but believes that Municipal affairs should be conducted purely upon a non-partisan basis. He has pledged himself, if elected, to a reduction of the tax rate, consistent, however, with the necessary needs and growth of the City. He believes that the Smith one Per Cent Tax Law, as long as it is a law, should be strengthened and bonded, and should not be passed nor taxes increased without the recommendation and choice of the voters. Mr. Englander is the senior member of the Law firm of Englander & Bowden, and will at all times be pleased to be consulted by the voters of his ward and to receive suggestions from them, and shall have certain office hours for the convenience of the residents of the 19th Ward. His many friends and supporters have elected him as the representative of the 19th Ward, and are confident that his ability and integrity will serve their best interests. A STRONG APPEAL To Our Voters-Interests Mutual- Good Government Being Contended For-We Should Support the Movement. Wilmington, O.-The independent municipal ticket here is working ardouly in an effort to rally the Colored voters to its side. The issue seems well drawn between the liberal and the conservative elements, with the Independents, of course, representing the latter. The following appeal was submitted by the committee to The Gazette representative for publication: The colored Voters of Wilmington: The citizens of Wilmington are facing a grave election. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, a serious problem must be solved. Will you do your part to solve that problem right? The Citizens' independent ticket earnestly pleads for your support at the call in the interest of wholesome city management. Will you rally to this cause? Our interests are mutual in this respect. You are entitled to good government, to economical expenditures of taxes and to a clean, sober city. Come to the front to meet civic righteousness. We have omitted no details in our effort to merit your support. We have selected one of your number as our advisor for your welfare. We have indorsed no candidate to oppose the Colored candidate in his election, his election, and we pledge ourselves to such further consideration as is compatible with just government.

The coat fatis straight and easily from the shoulders, and al- most, but not quite, covers the frock beneath. It is edged with white ball trimming, and has a narrow turnover collar of white velvet. Very ornamen- tal buttons of red crochet with blue velvot rims trim front and sleeves ef- fectively. ‘This coat is matched by @ fascinating little bonnet-cap of white velvet with a tumed-back brim edged with ball trimming.

In this season of plaids to the fore It Is to bo expected that these materl- als will be largely incorporated. in childish costumes, and most of the school frocks for little girls show a large preponderance of plaids, Cherutt has hit upon a new sash idea which will appeal to all mothers, and this sash is used most effectively in a model of green and blue plaid, now on exhibition in a Fifth avenue shop where children's clothes are a spe- claity. The frock 1s simple and straight in line and has a broad box plait at the front from neck to hem. A wide, soft sash of black satin passes under the box plait, emerging through buttonholes at elther side, and {s carried around to the back, where the ends cross and come for- ward again, to be knotted low on the left hip, at the front. Black ball fringe edges the sash ends and weights them gracefully. A little col- lar of very fine machine embroidery in creamy tint finishes this frock at the neck, a wee black satin bow being set in front. Mohair for Children. ‘The Fronch couturieres use a deal of mohair in their models for children, and the slightly more expensive mo- hair and wool mixture which has such silky sheon and which comes In ex- ‘ceptionally goft, agreeable colorings, 1s algo favored. A Cherult frock of terra cotta mohair and worsted mixture has ‘such a cash as has just been deseribed, this sash being of black and terra cotta plaid on a cream ground. The ‘front of the frock is slashed downward in a deep U and a tiny frill of palited net edges the U, over a ehemisette of machine embroidery. Fine white batiste, combined with machine-embroidered ineertion and edging—dotted net trimmed with Ve- ‘ise lace, sheer French organdie, elab- orated with Irish crochet and Venise, and plain white voile or net pintucked and trimmed with a little handsome lace or machine embroidery, are the materials used for gala frocks. ‘These ttle frocks, airy and soft in texture, and slim and simple in line, despite their elaborate trimmings, are mount- elf over thin slips in color, matched by silk stockings and buttoned strap slip- pers or buttoned boots of patent Jeather. COOK IN NATURE’S KITCHEN Maorie of Northern New Zealand Rely on Friendly Geyser Instead of Fire. ‘The Maoris of northern New Zea. land enjoy cooked food to a far greater extent than other natives, but they never bother with fire, They build thelr huts on the edge of some “friend ly” geyser, where they may cook in nature's kitchen. ‘The methods of this primitive people living in so. strange neighborhood are described by Max Herz. On a spot which superstition would associate with death and the devil the huts of about 200 Maoris lie scattered —the remnant of the once warlike tribe of Tuhourangt. It is lucky that these simple folk need no kitchen, for nature has built for them the best of all cooking appliances and saved them endless trouble, with the stove, gas company or coal merchant, ‘A pond of boiling water lies in the middle of the settlement, In this the Maorl woman puts her water kettle to boll, oF hangs the wide-meshed flax bag filied with potatoes, and waits un- til they are cooked. True, the pota toes cooked in thelr okins taste a little of sulphur, but that is the right flavor for a Maori palate—the haut-gout for the brown gourmet. For the cooking of meats the fuma- roles, or holes through which steam escapes from the ground, are used. A box with a wooden grating for a bot- tom Is placed on the ground over the hole, In this the Maori woman places the meat, well covered with tin or fron pots’ An old sugar bag is then spread over the box, and the crude ap- paratus is left until the imprisoned steam has completely cooked the joint. —New Zealand Magasine.
