THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 44. THE UNION WHERE ESSENTIEL PROGRESS NOTED AT OLDEST SCHOOL Christiansburg Industrial Institute Ends Term Briskly. GRADUATES NUMBER TWELVE Government Demonstration Agents Attend Graduation Exercises and Prominent Educators Deliver Inspiring Addresses to Students—Conference on Plans For Social Betterment. Christiansburg, Va. The closing exercises of the Christiansburg Industrial institute will be held beginning May 16, when the annual sermon will be preached by the Rev. M. L. H. Bateley of Washington. On Wednesday, the 19th, a conference will be held at the school, uniting in a movement for social betterment all sections of southwest Washington. At this conference the president of the Normal school for white people and representatives from the Polytechnic institute will be present. Representatives of the United States government in the persons of demonstration agents will also be in attendance. The graduating exercises will be held Thursday, May 20, at which time Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, will deliver the annual address to the graduating class. The class to graduate numbers twelve persons, eight girls and four boys, all of Virginia. All the girls have been trained in dome science, needlework and millinery. Each one will make her own graduation dress and the hat to match it. One of the boys has completed the course in blacksmithing and one in carpentry; one will study for the ministry, and the other one will teach school. All of the graduates will receive certificates entitling them to teach in the public schools of Virginia. The Christiansburg Industrial Institute was founded by Captain Charles S. Schaefer as a primary school for colored children and was one of the first schools in the south to offer instruction to enamelled slaves. With many schools in the south were added by the Friends Freedman's association just after the close of the war. As the southern states began to assume the burden of the Negro education the Friends Freedman's association gradually withdrew its support from the other schools, turning its property over to the counties in which the schools were located and concentrating its efforts on Christiansburg. The success of Hampton, followed by that of Tuskegee, led the management to believe that Christiansburg should direct its energies toward the training of the hands as well as the head. Accordingly the Christiansburg Industrial institute, was provided with the necessary equipment to make it an industrial school. The property of the school consists of a farm of 165 acres and eleven buildings, which, with the tools and equipment, are valued at $75,000. The present principal, Professor A. A. Long, has been connected with the institution since 1897. He was treasurer until 1900, when upon the death of the former principal, the late Charles L. Marshall, he was elevated to the principalship. Under Professor Long sixty-five persons have graduated from the institution. A state summer school, which has given instruction to more than 600 Virginia teachers, has been operated. Where he took hold of the school $50,000 has been raised and put into permanent improvements, an endowment of which amount Andrew Carnegie gave $10,000. Besides this there has been an average of $10,000 a year raised for expense of maintenance and operation, making $140,000 which has been raised for this school during Mr. Lengere term as principal. The Christiansburg Industrial Institute is fortunate in having as its manager a strong board composed of prestigious business and professional men of Philadelphia and vicinity, one of whom is Dr. Isaac Sturphle, president of Haverford college. This board meets once a month during the school term. An evidence of their appreciation of the services of Professor Long the following resolution was adopted at one of its meetings: "Edgar A. Long, who has been associated with the work at Christiansburg for ten years, has been appointed principal. Under his efficient guidance the work of the school has made gratifying success. We consider it very fortunate that the school should have had one at hand who has its interest so thoroughly at heart." On another occasion the following reference was made in the annual report of the secretary: "Finally, but by no means least in importance, we are fortunate in having a principal who takes a broad view of Negro education. He is a disciple of Booker T. Washington and thoroughly believes and constantly teaches that his people, like all other people, can only rise by doing well the tasks open to them." Brown Passes Law Examination. Lawyer C. W. Brown of Elizabeth City, N. C., recently passed a successful examination to practice his profession. The examination was held by the state supreme court. Mr. Brown is industrious and well versed in legal lore. THE GAZETTE MISS AGNES HART WILSON Miss Wilson, daughter of Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, is in San Francisco as special representative of the department of labor to supervise its exhibit at the expoition. BECKER LOSES IN COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE'S OPINION. ANALYZES TESTIMONY Former Police Lieutenant Must'Die in Electric Chair Unless He Can Obtain Executive Clemency' From Gov. Whitman. CHRONOLOGY OF BECKER CASE. The following is the chronology of the Becker case: July 19, 1912—Rosenthal murdered. July 29, 1912—Rose, Vallone, Webber accuse Becker of instigating murder. Becker arrested. Oct. 7, 1912—Becker placed on trial for first time. Oct. 24, 1912—Becker found guilty of murder in first degree. Nov. 19, 1912—Four gunmen, Lafayette Gryn, Gryn the Whitey Jewels and Dago Frank convicted of murder in first degree. Feb, 24, 1914—Becker granted new trial, Gunmen's appeal denied. April 13, 1914—Four gunmen executed May 6, 1914—Becker's second trial, begun. May 22, 1914—Becker again convicted of murder in the first degree. of murder in the first degree. May 25, 2015—Becker appeal for new trial denied. Albany, N. Y.—The second conviction of former Police Lleut. Charles Becker for instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler, was upheld Tuesday by the court of appeals. Becker now must die unless he can obtain executive clemency from Gov. Whitman, who, as district attorney of New York, prosecuted him, or can obtain a reversal by the United States supreme court. Judge Bartlett's opinion is a long one and analyzes in the closest and most comprehensive way every feature of the enormous mass of evidence. It was contended by the prosecutor that Becker, who had differences with Rosenthal, wanted to get rid of him, as Rosenthal was about to relate a story to the then district attorney, Charles S. Whitman, concerning gambling in New York city. The prosecution at both trials and during the arguments on the appeal made strong points of this, alleging that Becker had the best motive in the world for wanting to close the mouth of Rosenthal. The case was argued in the court of appeals the second time on March 24 last. It took two days for the court to hear it. Mrs. Becker sat in the courtroom throughout the appeal listening to the arguments that were put forth in behalf of her husband by Martin T. Manton, as well as the contentions of Assistant District Attorney Robert C. Taylor, that the second conviction of Becker should stand. Judge Bartlett held that although the first judgment of death against the defendant was reversed because he did not have a fair trial, the second judgment "is not assailable on that ground. The opinion held that the testimony of "Bridgle" Weber and "Bald Jack" Rose regarding the so-called "Hurlem conference" at which the murder of Rosenthal was said to have been planned, was true and that it was corroborated on the second trial by James Marshall, a negro. Foe of Fresh Air Dles Marietta, O.-Mrs. Martina L. McCormick, who had been out of her house in this city only twice in 40 years, died here at the age of 88. She was a convert to a theory that fresh nid was injurious and was only prevailed upon to leave her home when her son, a former prosecuting attorney of Washington county, was buried in 1895. She also followed the body of her husband to the grave in 1897. The deceased was the mother of Col. Lloyd S. McCormick, retired army officer of this city. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 29. 1915. AMERICAN SHIP HAS HOLE TORN IN BOW Vessel Is Either Torpedoed or Strikes Mine Off the Coast of Ireland. NO LIVES LOST, BOAT STARTS FOR PORT Officials of Administration in Washington Are Gravely Concerned Over Disaster and Are Waiting for Definite Information. London, England.—The American steamship Nebraskan, owned by the American Hawaiian Steamship Co. of New York was either torpedoed or struck, a mine 48 miles off the south coast of Ireland all 40 o'clock Tuesday night. No lives were lost and the steamship, listed badly at the how, proceeded to Liverpool under her own steam at eight knots an hour. She was convoyed by a fleet of small ships. Captain Sends Message. Capt. J. S. Green, her commander, sent the following wireless message to the company's offices in New York: "Struck by either mine or torpedo 48 miles west of Pastnet. Am steaming under convoy to Liverpool. Water in lower hold. 'No one injured.' It is declared here that the Nebraskan was outside the zone of mines, but it is also admitted she might have encountered a floating mine. According to a dispatch from Liverpool the name and nationality of the Nebraskan was painted in large letters across her side and she flew a large American flag. Consul General Skinner, stationed here, sent the following message to the state department in Washington "Admiralty reports American steamer or Nebraskan, Liverpool to Delaware breakwater, torpedoed 48 miles south by west of Fastnet. Crew and boats standing day. Weather line. No direct reports." The Nebraskan left Liverpool May 24 in water ballast for Delaware breakwater. She was proceeding under full steam Tuesday night in a smooth sea. The weather was clear and twilight giving way to a bright moon. Explosion Shakes Ship. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion which shook the ship from to stern. She began to list almost immediately, and Capt. Green, believing she had received a mortal blow, ordered the lifeboats lowered. Meanwhile the wireless operator began sending out the "S, O, S," call. There were no passengers aboard and the boats were filled with the members of the crew, 47 in all, who rowed away for some distance, expecting to see the steamship go to the bottom. The Nebraskan remained afloat, however, and when Capt. Green saw there was no immediate danger he returned to the ship. A hurried investigation revealed a great hole in the bow below the waterline. The bulkheads held tight, confining the flood to the forward part of the ship. Although the steering gear had been damaged, Capt. Green was able to turn around. Within a short time a large number of trawlers and several tugs were on the scene, Capt. Green refused the offer of a tow. The Nebraskan is an oil burning ship and her fuel supply was not damaged. Accompanied by the feet of small ships the Nebraskan started for Liverpool, hugging the coast. Washington Officials Concerned. Washington, D. D. - Officials of the administration are gravely concerned over the alleged attack on the American steamship Nebraska, coming as it does so soon after the president's note to Germany demanding a cessation of her submarine warfare. Pending the receipt of definite information as to whether the vessel struck a mine or was torpedoed, officials here decline to comment on the situation, but in the event it develops that the attack was by a submarine and no extinguishing circumstances exist, it will be accepted as foreshadowing the nature of the German reply. Officials are aware that the full account of the attack on the Nebraskan, which will come from Ambassador Page and Consult General Skinner, may show that the act was one which was absolutely included in the prohibitions of the president's recent note. If this happens, they say, the action of this government will be determined at the White House, and they express themselves unable to, prophesy the outcome. There is an official hope that it will be shown the Nebraskan struck a mine which had broken away from its moorings. Navy department experts are inclined to the belief that the Nebraskan was torpeded, despite the captain's statement that his ship may have been struck by a mine. Their opinion is based on the fact that the nearest known mine field to the spot where the Nebraskan was struck is more than 200 miles away. Governor Wields Shovel. Harrisburg, Pa. — Wednesday was good roads day in. Pennsylvania. Reports sent to the Capitol indicated that volunteers by the thousands had laid aside their own affairs and had done their share in helping to improve the highways. In some districts the workers disregarded the light rain and piled shovels vigorously in the mud. Gov. Brumbaugh left the city early and at Camp Hill, near here, shovelled dirt with delegations of citizens. The governor made a good roads speech. THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. Among the notable gatherings scheduled for Chicago in August and the early part of September the Lincoln Jubilee and national half century expoition, commemorating the freedom of the Negro race in America, occupies first place. The commission appointed by Governor Edward Dunne to armage for and manage the affairs of the celebration is making splendid progress in getting exhibits of various kinds suitable for the occasion.

Hampton, Va.—The Hampton institute class of 1890 held its twenty-fifth reunion celebration recently. In the Hampton gymnasium, where nearly 2,000 representative white and colored people assembled to hear a folklore concert. Major R. R. Moton, 90, commandant of cadets at Hampton, presided. He announced that the class of 1890 had collected $400, which he was commissioned to place in the hands of Dr. H. B. Frissell to be used for Hampton in any way that the principal saw fit. The class of 1890 numbered forty-four—twenty-seven men and seventeen women. Three men and five women have died. About fifteen members attended the reunion. Several others sent telegraphs and checks. William J. Clayton of Washington spoke on the class motto, "Finished. Yet Just Begun!" Thomas B. Patterson of Downingtown, Pa., read the original class commencement program: William B. Scott, pastor of Pilgrim church, Red Bank, N. L. told about Dr. Frissell's sermon to the class; Mrs. Estelle M. Evans read the class song; Mrs. Thomas W. Turner called the class roll; Mrs. George A. Melyn, Mrs. Edward H. Spence and Mrs. John Edward Smith read interesting extracts from the "Southern Workman." Major Moton outlined the story of his recent trip with Dr. Booker T. Washington through the state of Louisiana and his campaign experiences during the middle west tour, where he spoke in the interest of Hampton and the Negro race. More Honors For Mrs. M. A. Clark. The work of the Women's Christian Temperance union among our people in Marlon county, ind., is being able represented by Mrs. M. A. Clark, county superintendent. In further recognition of Mrs. Clark's ability she was recently appointed assistant to the county superintendent of rescue work. At the State Sisters of Charity hospital in Indianapolis Mrs. Clark recently hold a series of successful meetings. BRITISH WARSHIP IS VICTIM OF TORPEDO English Battlecraft Triumph Is Struck and Sunk in the Gardenelles. MOST OF CREW AND OFFICERS SAVED Destroyed Fighting Vessel Has Been in Operation in Both Far Eastern and European Waters Since European War Broke Out. London, Eire. The British battleship Trumpet was topped and took in the Dardanelles Tuesday. The majority of the crew of 700 men and officers, including the commander and captain, were saved, according to an announcement by the admiralty. The Trumpet, when she was attacked by the submarine, was supporting the Australian and New Zealand and forces on the Gallipoli peninsula by bombarding the Turkish positions. She is reported to have gone down in seven minutes. While several of the ships of the allied fleet were rescuing the crew and officers, of the stricken warship a fleet of allied destroyers and ammunition was raised the submarine, which queued for eight nights. The battleship Trumpet was built at Harrow in 1902 for the Chilean government, but was purchased by Great Britain in 1903. She was laid down under the name of Libertad and was a sister ship of the Constitution, which also was purchased from Chile and reconstituted Swifture. Helped Bombard Tsing-Tau. Since the war broke out the Trumpet has been in operation in both far eastern and European waters. As flagship of the British Asiatic squadron, she participated in the bombardment of the German base of Tsing-Tau, China, last October and was reported to have been damaged by the shell fire of the German forts. After the fall of Tsing-Tun the Triumph returned to European waters and early in the present year began operations with the other units of the allied fleet against the Dardanelles. In the latter part of April the Triumph bombarded the Turkish trenches on the western end of the Gallipoll peninsula and afterwards went into the Dardanelles to search the straits from a different angle. Here she came under the fire of a Turkish howitzer battery on the Asiatic shore, which dropped 16 shells around her and threw three missiles on board. Little damage was done by the shells, however, and only two men, a stoker and a bluejacket, were wounded. The battlefield silenced the Turkish battery before retiring. A few days later, while landing operations were proceeding, the Triumph with other warships, in addition to covering the landing, bombarded the forts in the Dardanelles to prevent reinforcements reaching the Turks from the sea of Marmora. The Triumph was credited in the official reports with having set fire to the town of Maidos during this bombardment. Triumph Was 436 Feet Long. The Triumph, which was commanded by Capt. Maurice E. Fitzmaurice, was a vessel of 11,818 tons. The vessel carried four 10-inch, fourteen 7.5-inch guns and fourteen 14-pounders and four 9-pounders. In addition she carried two 18-inch torpedo tubes. The Triumph was 136 feet long and had a speed of about 20 knots. While the Triumph was sinking the allied British and French armies on the Gallipoli peninsula were slowly advancing against the stubborn opposition of the Turks, says the official report. With the sinking of the Triumph five allied battleships have been accounted for in the Dardanelles by Turkish gunfire, mines or torpedoes. Of these losses the British have sustained four, the Triumph, Ocean, Irresistible and Goliath. One French ship has been sunk, the Bouvet. In addition several other allied battleships have been struck by Turkish shells and forced to retire from the fighting in the waterway. Italiane Continue to Advance. Rome, Italy—Advance of the Italian army all along the Austrian frontier from Lombardy to the Adriatic, in which offensive operations several more towns have been captured, and the establishment of a blockade of the Austro-Hungarian coast marked Wednesday's war operations by Italy. Italian troops have seized towns in the Trentino and forced their way through mountain defences. On the lower Isonzo attacks were continued to gain the line of the river. The Austrians are reported to have retired, destroying bridges behind them. Italian aviators bombarded Monfalcone, near the Gulf of Trieste. Paris, France—There are persistent rumors of a naval action has been fought in the Adriatic. An Italian cruiser is said to have torpedoed and sunk two Austrian cruisers. London, England. — The British, smashing forward with grim persistence, have pierced the German lines east of Festubert on a front of more than three miles. In close relation to this gain the French to the north of Arras have made good all the gains which they previously registered. Meanwhile fresh stores of ammunition, apparently having been brought up Gen. Von Mackenzen's Austro-German legations have resumed a violent offensive in the region of Przemysl, imperiling the fortress. LIEUT. COM. ROBERT L. BERRY Lieut. Com. Robert L. Berry is the president's new naval aide and also is commander of the president's boat the Mayflower. He was born in Kentucky and was graduated from the naval academy in 1890. FATAL CRASH ON SCENIC RAILWAY One Person Is Killed and Many Are Injured When Trains Collide. VICTIMS ARE PINIONED IN WRECKAGE Roller Coaster in Amusement Resort Fails to Top Summit on Trestle and Dashes With Great Force into the Car Behind. Youngstown, O.—Collision between two trains on the scenic railway course at Idora park here resulted in the death of one man, the serious injury of nine others and minor injuries to several others in a party of 25. Two of the victims at once were removed to hospitals here, where one of the number died a few minutes after admission. Others of this group are suffering from broken limbs and severe lacerations and bruises of the body and head. Several are in a serious condition. The nine suffering lesser injuries were able to go to their homes unassisted. A few of the pleasure seekers crawled down from their perilous position on the trestle and disappeared without giving their names. Daniel Denchny, 20.—telegraph delivery clerk, fractured shell, is dead. Those seriously injured and taken to hospitals are: James Brody, both legs broken and hurt about the body. Joseph Doleak, right leg broken and bruised. Cecil Dunn, dislocated shoulder and lacerated head. Clara Patterson, injured limbs. James M. Trahey, severe injuries to arms. Etta Jenkins, bruised limbs and about body. Anna Brody, injuries to feet. Henry Kersell, injury to face. Lewis Gerlach, bruised knee and body. The authorities furnish the names of nine others who went to their homes. They are: Mr. Kyberg, Henry Cardell, Miss Pollack, Mr. Galette, Jane Currey, John Gallagher, Blanche Collins, Earl Morely and Jai Stuffie. More of these are said to be seriously injured. Failure of one of the three-car trains, bearing a party of about 10, to pass over the second summit of the railway, caused it to slide back the incline which it had failed to mount and meet the other on-coming train bearing about 15 people as it dashed down at terrific speed. The helpless victims in each train, with shouts and screams of anguish, made known their appreciation of the danger but were powerless to avert the crash. The heavy trains came together with such force that one virtually was demolished and men and women were pinned in the wreckage or thrown out upon the runway. Of the entire number but one fell through to the ground, about 20 feet below. She is Hazel Dunn, who is suffering from a dislocated shoulder and lacerated head. hundreds of people in the park were attracted by the shouts and saw the crash. Women and children were overcome by the spectacle and their condition added to the excitement aroused in the big crowd that filled Idora park on the opening day of the season. Roosevelt Is Given Verdict Syracuse. N. Y.—Twelve men chosen as a jury to determine whether Theodore Roosevelt labeled William Barnes when he charged that Barnes worked through a "corrupt alliance between crooked business and crooked politics." and that, he was "corruptly allied" with, Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall," returned a verdict in favor of the former president. In the belief of the jury everything. Col. Roosevelt said concerning the plaintiff" was true and, therefore, Mr. Barnes was not labeled. IN VATICAN HEAVESTROUGH SWAM THROUGH SEA COVERED WITH DEAD First of Lusitania Passengers to Reach United States Tells of Horrors. NO PANIC WHEN SHIP WAS TORPEDGED One Victim Was Caught in Blades of Liner's Propellers, Screamed Norris for Second and Then It Was All Over. New York City. Dr. Carl E. Foss, a physician of Harlem, Mount James Smith and Edward Skay, the first survivors of the Lusitania disaster to reach this country, arrived May 24 aboard the American Liner New York. Smith and Skay were stewards on the Lusitania, but are now at work on a ship that flies the American flag. Says Everyone Was Calm. Dr. Foss was standing with some other passengers looking toward the Irish coast an hour before the Lusitania was torpedoed. At that time they sighted the perigee of a submarine and declared its nationality must be British. Then they went for lunch on and were in the saloon when the Lusitania was struck.... "The explosion that followed brought home to us all what had happened," said Dr. Foss. "But there was no panic. Everyone was calm, I think we all realized the ship was going to sink and we made our way, to the deck quickly and without serious confusion. "There we saw a crowd of stewards frantically putting on life belts without offering them to the passengers. I pushed in, grabbed one and jumped overboard. I did that because I saw the lifeboats were being filled with women and children. Man's-Blood Stains Form. "I hit the water not far from the propellers, which were threshing the air as the bow of the liner started to plunge. One poor devil who was near me was caught in the blades. He screamed horribly for a second and then it was all over. His blood stained the foam. "Bear of being drawn down by the sledge caused by the sinking vessel caused me to swim away with all my strength. A hundred yards distant I came across a woman with a W1 preserver about her body. Her baby was in her arms. I took him to a lifebelt and they were saved. "The heat was well crowded and feeling that I had strength enough to keep aloft for some time, I swam away again. But it was the most gruesome swim man ever had. The sea was literally covered with floating bodies. A tigtoat picked me up two hours later, and then I gave up and knew no more for some time." Dr. Foss said that passengers on the New York were very nervous about the chance of meeting submarines. PAYTRIBUTE TO FROHMAN New York City. — Every familiar figure of the New York Rialto was to be seen May 25 paying a last tribute to the memory of Charles Frohman in Temple Emanu-El, Fifth av and 42d st. Throughout England and America the Frohman theaters and attractions remained closed as a mark of respect. The funeral of the Louisiana victim, who was America's foremost play producer, brought together such a gathering of notable stage folk, authors and persons prominent in the intellectual and artistic life of the metropolis as is seldom to be seen. The excruciates were simple, as Mr. Frohman had wished. They followed an earlier private service at the home of Daniel Frohman, Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman was the preacher at Temple Emanu-El. The honorary palibearers comprised authors, actors, managers and associates of Mr. Frohman. HAS CURE FOR TETANUS DOCTOR SAYS SIMPLY INJECT JUICE OF CACTUS LEAF INTO INFLICTED PERSON. New York City.—Positive cure of tetanus by the simple injection of the juice of cactus leaf was a discovery related to members of the American Medico Pharmaceutical league at the Astor by Dr. D. B. De Waltoff. The amazing properties of the cactus leaf fluid, the speaker said, have effected a complete cure in at least six cases which have recently come under his observation. "No doctor need hesitate." Dr. Waltoff said, "in treating tetanus by this method." Kills Two and Himself. Richmond, Mich.—Herman Erdman, a farmer near here, strangled his wife and eight-year-old stepdaughter to death with his own hands and then, when he feared capture, cut his wrists and throat so badly that he died some time later in a Fort Hiron hospital. The man was in fairly good circumstances, and it is thought that he was temporarily deranged. He was of a violent temper and it is believed he had a quarrel with his wife and lost control of himself.

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1915. The "bottom" seems to have fallen out of the Leo M. Frank pictures. We hear no more of them. Not one of the so-called "Administration" measures in the Ohio Assembly failed to become law—that is to say, every bill required to keep platform pledge or campaign promise, was enacted, and state salaries have been decreased $400,000. People of Ohio who are interested in the struggles of "the under dog" will hear with interest news of the governor's approval of the Lloyd anti-loan shark bill. This is the bill which forcibly takes the hand of the illicit money lender out of the pocket of the working men and women who have no credit in the banks. Our people in the Central Av. district should not make it harder for the police who are trying to improve conditions there, but should help them. Everyone of us who reside in the 11th ward know that it is simply flooded with undesirable characters, male and female, and all of us earnestly desire improved conditions. --- Our contemporaries should not lose sight of the fact that the Ohio Assembly does NOT appropriate money for the use of Wilberforce University but for the use of the STATE DEPARTMENT of that institution, known as the COMBINED NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT. This does not seem to be understood by many even in Ohio. SHOULD FEEL ENCOURAGED The Pennsylvania State Senate, last week, before passing it, all but ruined the Civil Rights' bill which had gone to it from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a few weeks ago. A joint conference committee (of both branches of the Assembly) agreed on the emasculated measure and it was accepted by both houses of that august body. The law, thus enacted, prohibits, under penalty of a fine, not exceeding $100, the proprietor of any hotel, restaurant, cafe or place of amusement from excluding any person from his establishment because of race or color. The law has no minimum penalty, and that will be the thing that will rob it of any effectiveness, just as it did the old "Madison Tilley Ohio Civil Rights' law" which the writer replaced with the present Ohio Civil Rights' law, in 1894. It was practically useless because it was devoid of any minimum penalty and its maximum penalty was only $100. And there were other vital defects in the "Madison Tilley Ohio Civil Rights' law," so similar to Pennsylvania's new law. However, our people of the "Keystone" state have made a beginning and should feel encouraged, even if "about all the teeth were pulled from the bill" by their State Senate after it had been passed in the House. POOR OLD JOHN, STILL "KNOCKING." John P. Green is still "knocking." He says Judge Albion W. Tourgee drew Ohio's Anti-lynching bill, now a law. Sure he did and at our request, as we have always said. This, he cause the judge was a fine jurist and great friend of the race, and a specialist in his knowledge of remedies for lynching. He also came to Columbus and addressed not only the judiciary committee of the House but also an audience of Columbus people that filled the Legislature's large auditorium. This, the writer arranged for, and paid the judge's expenses (out of his own pocket) on the trip. The judge came from a point in Indiana where he had lectured. But we introduced, and had to appear before the House and Senate judiciary committees, several times, to get the bill out of those committees, and also did the burden of the work that secured its enactment. This everybody, including John, knows. Hon. Charles W. Snider (not Linder) followed the writer, in the house, in a (short) speech (at our request) when the bill was on its passage. That is all he did. Yes, we did introduce the anti-lynching bill in 1894 and did not secure its enactment, that year, because a similar bill (in name only), introduced by another Colored member, gave the white members of the House just excuse enough to siderect both bills. This gentleman of Color failed of election to the next Assembly (in 1896), and we re-introduced the anti-lynching bill and passed it, that year. In 1898, the Hon. W. R. Stewart did introduce and secure the passage of an amendment to the law which we sent to him for that purpose. Much to our regret, however, its amendment did NOT strengthen the bill as we hoped. For this Mr. Stewart was in no wise responsible because he did only what the writer thought absolutely necessary at the time. Of the few persons who did anything to help us pass the bill in 1896, Mr. Stewart did more than all the others combined, and we have always been frank to say so. But we introduced and did the burden of the work for the passage of both Ohio's Civil Rights' law and Ohio's Anti-lynching law, and everybody at all familiar with the facts in both cases knows this—even "John, the knocker." In the language of the latter, "the law will be found in Ohio laws, volume 33, page 161, 1898." We of Ohio sorely needed a Civil Rights' law, an Anti-lynching law, one to stop the insurance companies from discriminating when it came to paying benefits to our people, etc. Years after John was a member of the Ohio Assembly, the editor of The Gazette introduced and secured the enactment of the first two laws referred to in the preceding sentence, and the Hon Jere A. Brown, (deceased), the last one. The record of work done by The Gazette and its editor for our people, which brought material results to them during the past thirty-two years, is an "open book" and so well known to our masses, not only in Cleveland and Ohio but throughout the country, that it is not necessary for us to refer to it at greater length at this time. Has Established a Colony in a Fertil Valley With the 300 He Took to Africa and is Coming Back for a Second Shipplad. Muskogee, Okla.—Chief Sam, who took a boatload of Southern Afro Americans to Gold Coast, Africa, last fall, has written, to others at Weeteka, Okla. who are interested, that the colony in Africa has been started and that he is coming back for another ship-load. The new colony is in a river valley 75 miles from Salt Pond, West Africa, where he has obtained sixty-five square miles of territory, which is owned in common. At township Bohio on two hills which rise out of the river valley, and it is called Asubio. The land is described as being wonderfully fertile and he says that 15 acres is all the land of this kind that one family can possibly handle with profit. Chief Sam established the Oklahoma camp at Weeteka several months before he got away with his first ship-load of colonists. At one time more than one thousand Afro Americans were in his camp, all six of them, in which he only about 300 finally sailed from Galveston. However, an organization is maintained. Most of those who agree to go put up $25 a family as a guarantee of their good faith and to pay for their transportation on the chief's ship. Sewing Broken Hearts A Russian surgeon named Zedelian reports 31 patients who recovered from stab wounds of the heart in the hospital at Obuchow. Prompt and rapid operations is the probable reason for this good showing. The patients were all put under the influence of ether very soon after the injury, part of the chest wall was removed, the heart lifted from its bed and the stitches quickly introduced between pulsations. The bony chest wall over the heart was not put back in place, that organ being left covered only by skin and muscle. This was done to give the heart room to expand and to prevent adhesion from embarrassing the heart's action. Several of the patients are at their daily work after seven years since the operation. "Tommies Were Jilted" A strange romance of the battlefield is mentioned by Sergt. T. Bay ley: "A man of the Gordon 'listed five years ago', he says, 'because the Greenock girl he wanted preferred another chap who was earning a few more shillings a week more. One day when wounded he noticed another British soldier belonging to a Scottish regiment whose face seemed familiar. He crawled over and found it was the chap for whom he had been thrown over. He bore no ill-will, and started talking, when he found that this chap in turn had been thrown over for another man, who also was lilted and was actually serving in the same regiment as the first man, though they didn't know each other. Isolate Gangrene Germ. Doctor Roux, head of the Pasteur institute, communicated to the Academy of Sciences an important discovery in the form of gangrene antitoxin recently made by Doctor Weinberg in examination of fifty cases of gaseous gangrene—the most deadly complication in wounds, according to statistics, Doctor Weinberg succeeded in isolating the causative microbe. With a series of cultures experiments were made on guinea pigs, dogs and horses, and an antitoxin was obtained which produced favorable results when a dose was injected in a gangrenous patient Doctor Weinberg, however, will not admit that his discovery is yet beyond the experimental stage. Advance in Australia. The expansion of the post office business in South Australia has necessitated increased provision for the requirements of the public in many places throughout the state. Included in the amount provided in the federal estimates to be expended on public works in South Australia during the current financial years is $100,000 for additions to existing and the erection of new post office buildings. A large proportion of this expenditure will be incurred on works in various country towns. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

New York City—As far as new New York is concerned, Jess Willard has disappeared from the spotlight. Rarely is his name mentioned by the general public, and even the fight fans about him are less aware of the pseudo champion. DOINGS OF THE RACE F. D. Morton of Washington, D. C. is the new principal of the Manassas, Va., Industrial school. The bill to bar Afro-American lawyers, from practicing in that state, has passed the Florida House and may not meet with success in the Senate, report says. At the U. S. Army Mounted Service school at Ft. Riley, Kan., two Afro-American troopers gained honors in swordsmanship. They are Sergeant Ernest G. Washington, Troop E, Tenth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Huachua, Ariz., and Corporal Hezekiah K. Ariz., stationed at North Kahle, stationed at Douglas, Arizona. Illinois House of Representatives has passed Major Jackson's "film" bill which seeks to bar such infamous photo-plays as "The Nigger" and "The Birth of a Nation." We hope the bill becomes a law.

The two vicious photo-plays, "The Nigger" and "The Birth of a Nation," were barred out of Ohio, over a month ago. The latter has never been shown in this state. Gov. F. B. Willis did this, on the request of the editor of The Gazette, early in April. Some of our exchanges (race publications) do not seem to have learned this yet. In 1910 there were in the Southern states 1,191,351 Afro-American homes, of which 430,449, or 22.4 per cent, were owned including 314,949 or 16.4 per cent of all Afro-American homes, which were all Afro-American homes, which were free of incumbrance. Farms operated by Afro-Americans in 1910 numbered 833,700, and were valued at $1,142,000,000. The total number of farms, in that year, was 6,361,502, and their value was $40,991,449,000.

Mass., his former home. He also said that he probably would not compete in the amateur athletic union championship field meet in San Francisco this summer. Capt. Walter Loving and his Filipino constabulary band are at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. It is one of the world's finest musical organizations. There were 36,770 Afro-American church organizations with 3,685,997 communicants or members. Between 1890 and 1906 the number of our church organizations increased by 56.2 per cent and the number of communal churches increased by 46.9 per cent in our population during the same period being 26.1 per cent. In Mississippi and South Carolina the Afro-American population was more than 50 per cent of the total in 1910–56.2 per cent and 55.2 per cent, respectively; and in Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida the percent ages ranged between 40 and 59–45.1, 42.5 and 41 respectively. According to the U. S. census there are 39 Afro-American lawyers in Ohio; 59 in the District of Columbia; 60 in Illinois; 58 in New York; 43 in Tennessee; 33 in Texas; 37 in Virginia, and a lesser number than those in any of the states named, in the others. Pullman car porters pay more in a day for their meals on railroad tracks than for a company for their day's work; it was recently asserted before the U. S. Commission on Industrial Relations. The Afro-American population increased from 751,728, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790, to 982,773, or 10.7 per cent of the total, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 11.2 per cent, while during the same period the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. The largest Afro-American population in any year in 1910 was that of Georgia, 751,987. Mississippi was with 1,009,487 and Alabama with 908,982. Of the 9,827,763 Afro-Americans in 1910, 7,777,077, or 79.1 per cent, were reported as of pure blood, the remaining 2,050,688. or 20.9 per cent, being classed as "mulattoes." The average death rate among Afro-Americans in 33 northern cities, each having an Afro-American population of at least 2,500 in 1910, was 25.1 per cent per 1,000, as compared with 15.7 per cent for the whites, a decrease of 2.0 per cent for our people and 2.5 per cent for the whites. A similar comparison for 24 southern cities shows a rate of 29.6 for Afro-Americans, a decrease of 4.0 per cent; and 16.9 per cent for whites, a decrease of 2.9 per cent, when compared with 1800. THE BIG CIRCUS HERE! The Barnum and Bailey greatest show on earth will exhibit in Cleveland, today and tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, May 28 and 29, and this good news from the biggest and foremost amusement institution in the world.

It requires 85 double length railroad cars to transport the big show, 1280 people are employed, there are 700 horses, 40 elephants and a menagerie of 110 cages, 480 world famed artists take part in the greatest circus program this world has ever known.

Every enjoyment of the circus is ordered to be there in time for the parade which starts promptly at 10 a.m. and which is said to eclipse anything of its kind ever before attempted in the history of the circus business. REMEMBERS HIS OLD LOVE In His Will—A Leading New Jersey Dentist—A Member of the Race. Jersey City, N. J.-The death of Thomas T. Wilkerson, a dentist whose offices were in this city, occurred. May 5 at Avon, N. J. The probation of his will, May 18, brings some interesting developments to light. He came originally from Northampton County, N. C., and was said to have been an Afro-American, although his practice and associates were among the whites. About four years ago, he met Miss Elizabeth Rector, but the marriage did not take place. It was thought by people who knew, that it was because of the race identity of the doctor. The young lady later became Mrs. Peterson and now lives in Jersey City. In his will Dr. Wilkerson bequeathes one-half of his estate, which is reported to be valued at about $20,000, to his former finance, and the New Jersey Title and Guarantee Company of New Jersey is named as the executor. A bequest of $500 is made to Henderson Tucker of Henrico, N. C., for a monument over the testa of the family burial place in Northampton County. All of his books are bequeathed to St. Augus tine Institute, Episcopal school for our children at Raleigh, N. C. Nancy W. Edmunds and Henderson Tucker of North Carolina are named among the residuary legates. Alma Boone Little. Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Alma Boone Little, whose sensational challenge of her husband that she is an Afro-American, attracted nationwide attention, has withdrawn her suit for divorce and will permit her husband, Charles A. Little, a local druggist, to obtain an uncontested decree on his cross bill. The Littles have signed an agreement whereby Little will be given a divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty, and the question of Mrs. Little's parentage will not be an issue. Well, well, well!

Heroes of Max of Them Were Im- possibly Good, but Their, tnflu- ence ag a General Thing P Was for the Best. Do you remember the books you used to draw from the Sunday school Ubrary—how many years ago was it? ‘Those pious stories of impossible boys who died young, with a picture on the front page slowing Little Willje being carried to bis grave on the shoulders of his weeping friends? Then, at a later period, the books of E P. Roe were standard Sunday fiction, This was a genuine rellet, for they em- bodied some glimmering of interest. His first attempt was to write a strict- ly religious novel, and “Barriers Burned Away,” by E. P. Roe, became a Sunday school classic. This was quickly followed by those truly uplift- ing books: “From Jest to Earnest; or Lost and Saved,” and “Opening of a Chestnut Hure” By this time the authdr found tie tion paid so well that he dropped the “Rey.” and went in for pure fiction. It was pure, and it might be called fle tion, but it was awful slush. Closely rivaling Roe was “Pansy,” and her books had a tremendous vogue back in the eighties, but none of them ever held a marker to the Elsie books. There was a heroine who would have delighted the orthodox soul of Billy Sunday. At the early age of ‘eight she was a walking concordance, and her manner of shooting texts ot Scripture at the unsaved was discon- /certing to say the least. A lovely child, though, was little Elsie. She refused to tell stories on Sunday to her play mates unless they would listen to Bel shazzar’s feast or that classic about the children in the fiery furnace. ‘They took those or nothing. Mon- day or any other day was all right for fairy stories, but on Sunday, never. ‘At was too bad that Elsie didn't die young, but there was too much money in her. She went through twenty- eight awful volumes, her girlhood, her wifehood, her widowhood, and Elsie as a grandmother quickly followed in close succession. She is dead now. Sometimes death is robbed of its hor- rors. Elsie was @ shining mark for years. It's a pity her end was so long postponed.—Schenectady Union Star.

AFRG-AMERICAN GULLINGS The name Manassas conjures up in the minds of most people in this coun- try the great struggle between the North and the South on the battlefield of Bull Run fifty years ago, in that brother-against-brother strife for the freedom for the Negro. It seems, therefore, peculiarly fitting that on this battlefield which witnessed such havoc and bloodshed for the emanci- pation of these people, there should Spring up a school where they might learn the value and usefulness of the Uberty won for them at so great a cost. Such a school—a school of ev- eryday common-sense training with in- dustrial work supplemented by practi- cal academic studies—came into exist- ence there twenty years ago, under the guiding hand of a colored woman, Jennie Dean. ‘The founding of the Manassas In: dustrial School for Colored Youth is really the lifestory of Jennie Dean. Her parents were slaves, but of the most intelligent class of Negroes, her father having been taught to read and write early in life. He was ambitious after the war, to own his farm, but died before ho had finished paying for it, Jennie Dean, then a young girl, left homo and went into service In Washington, her wages going to pay the balance on the farm, as well as to pay her younger sister's tuition at college. Jennie Dean's life in Washington brought to her full realization of the danger her people run in migrating to the cities, and she made up hor mind to try to do something to keep ‘them at home. Her first work toward this was the starting of a Sunday school one summer while on a visit home, which later developed, through her efforts, into the founding of a church in Manassas. Daring the time that she was conducting these Sun. day school classes and working for the church, Jennie Dean was also hold. ing Saturday afternoon classes in cooking and sewing, and through this work sho realized the possibilities which might develop out of training of this sort for young colored people. She spent twelve years in this mis sion work before she determined to devote herself to the industrial edu: cution of the Negroes of northern Vir 8inia and to found a school for that purpose. She knew the danger that lurked in the cities for these young people, but she also realized the dis. couraging situation which confronted them {f they romained at home. She Was mindful of the skilled labor of slavery days, and bemoaned the fact that nothing had come to replace that industrial side. By this time, Jennie Dean's tnfluence had become very strong in the community, so that they were all ready to help her when she called the people together and said: “Keep your children at home. Don't send them to the cities, You must buy your land; become taxpayers. Make all you can and save all you can. Meanwhile, 1 will go out and raise the money to build a schoo! where your children may be educated to trades. You do your part here, and I will do mine in the world.” While Negroes have progressed, pov- erty still shows its handicap. | The death rate of Negroes in thirty-three northern cities, each having a Negro population of at least 2,500 in 1910, was 25.1 per thousand. This was a decrease of 2 per thousand in a de- cade, but it was still vory high in comparison with the white death rato of 15.7 per thousand, incidentally s It has been a practice in the recent past among our people to stand off and criticize the wayward young Negro ‘and make no effort to help him. Many of us charged him with being respon- sible for his lost and rained condition and fussed at him for not turning vol- untarily to the paths of rectitude and for not healing his own ills. Others of us blamed our schools and educa- tional institutions for these lamentable conditions, always seeming to excuse parents for their responsibility in the matter. All of which was wide of the mark. It is beginning to dawn now upon the majority of us that there is no effective substitute for good home training. Neither schools, colleges uor reformatories can do a work for the young as effectively as the home. The ‘schools and colleges do all within their power for the morals of the young; the most of their time must of neces: sity be spent in technical or book tn- struction, which of itself may or may not better the morals. But conditions which compel fathers and mothers in ‘Negro homes to become breadwinners to the neglect of the ebildren, force ‘The bighest temperature ever known ina human being was recorded in the case of an Italian recently.

Also fewer Negroes commit suicide, Dr. W. F. Brunner, health officer ot Savannah, Ga., shows clearly in the current survey, how much of a menace this high death rate is to both Negroes and whites in the South. In 1913 there were about 29,000 whites and 42,000 Negroes in Sayan: nab. Deaths, {rom natural causes to- taled! 1,038 among the Negroes and only 442 among the whites. ‘The in: famous housing upon city dwel.ing Negroes, North and South, account for this great disparity. Of course however, the city which permits a high death rate among Negroes pays the penalty among all its people. Bacteria are color blind, ‘That (he mortality rate among the colored poptlation is vastly higher than among the whites has long been known. But efforts to learn the cause and to remed: ihe trouble haye not yet gone very far, The New York de- partment of health, however, is going fnto that task with an energy that promises good results, It is taking up the task with the co: operation of various colored civic or. ganizations, all under an Impulse giv: en by Booker Washington and the National Negro Business league. It is generally understood that this heavy death rate is the result of ignorance as to the most sanitary methods of life and the caro of ailments in thelr in: ception. For example, two types of disease are notable for abnormally Inrge death rates among the colored people. These are infant mortality and tuberculosis. But In both of them it has been shown that right methods of living and care in the treatment of the disease can produce a notable saying of life. ‘The work of training the Negroo: to the style of life that will lower mor tality is eminently notabie in itself But it is even more so with regard to its offect om the whites, Living as they do, close to us, even when segre gated, they cannot convert thelr quar tors into breeding places for disease without enlarging the danger of in, fection for the white population, It i to be hoped that the New York effort to improve that evil will be success: ful and widely. copied.

There is every reason in the world why spring stockings should be con- sticuous. Since the oldest of us can remember, did stocklugs ever have things so much their own way? Did nine or ten inches of them ever betare show? Of course, when our skirts were lashed to the knees occasionally the stockings showed. But those were fleeting glimpses compared with the inches and inches of stockings that are visible this year. Surely never before were stockings 80 well worth attention.

When it cannot be given its original coler, it may be dyed black. To restore natural straw color, clean tho hat with lemon jufee and sulphur. Wash white straw with oxalic acid diluted with water, A leghorn hat may be cleaned with water or acid dampened cornmeal, Brush it lightly and place it over burning sulphur to bleach the straw. The sulphur may Be burned m a can in the bottom of a barrel, and the hat suspended at the top, where {t will not acorch, A straw hat may be successfully bleached at home by first placing a piece of thick brown paper the width of the hatband around it, and tying tt with a string to Keep in place, Then cover the entire surface of the straw with a thick paste made of sulphur and water, and put the hat where the direct rays of the sun will beat down upon it, A sunny grass plot ia just the place. When the paste has become thoroughly dry, brush well with a whisk broom, and a new hat will be the result. ‘To clean a panama hat, wet some sulphur and make a paste of it, and rub {ton the hat with a mall brush. Put on enough to cover the hat thor- oughly. Let it stand in the sun until dry, then rub more with a clean cloth. ‘To renovate a black straw hat that has become old and rusty looking, go over it several times with a cloth saturated in alcohol, When dry, the straw will be as black and slomy as when new.
