ROOSEVELT SCORES GOMPERS CARNEGIE HALL IN UPROAR AS COLONEL ACCUS ES LAEOR LEADER OF JUSTIFYING MURDER IN EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT MURDERS—EX- CLAIMS LATER: I WISH I COULD GET MY HANDS ON HIM! New York City—Starting most auspiciously with a public welcome amazing in its spontaneity and evident sincerity, the greeting of New York City to the Russian War Mission, last Friday, ended in hostilities between Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Samuel Gompers. President of the American Federation of Labor. Before an audience that filled Carnegie Hall to overflowing, at the mass meeting which marked the end of the day's programme, these two men for a few minutes went at each other in a way that caused the eyes of the visitors to open in astonishment, the crowd to gasp, then take, sides and finally become thoroughly disordered, and the members of the Mayor's Reception Committee to look very much embarrassed. MAYOR FINALLY RESTORES ORDER. The end of what would otherwise have by Mayor Mitchel, who succeeded in getting and by reminding the audience that the purpose ing of the Russians, enabling the new Russian he had prepared, while Mr. Koosevelt and Mr. glared at each other.

Theodore Rousseau and out the Colonel drove away. Gompers came othy Healy. Should Put a Stop to Before We The end of what would otherwise have been a perfect day was saved by Mayor Mitchel, who succeeded in getting order out of chaos after a little, and by reminding the audience that the purpose of the gathering was the welcoming of the Russians, enabling the new Russian Ambassador to make the speech he had prepared, while Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Gompers, just behind him, glared at him. When the meeting was over friends had to keep the two men apart. The Colonel seemed the more eager for a meeting. Said he, as Police Inspectors Myers and Dillon escorted him to his automobile. "I WISH I COUED GET MY HANDS, ON HUM!" AND THEN AGAIN: "I CAN SCARCELY KEEP MY HANDS ON HUM!" He seemed anxious to go back from the Fifty-sixth Street entrance looking for Gompers. Theodore Rousseau and others, however, prevented this, and the Colonel drove away. Then Gompers came out with Hugh Frayne and Timothy Healy. --- The Mayor had introduced Mr. Roosevelt as the chief speaker with glowing phrases and the crowd had yelled for "Teddy" as usual. With his manuscript in his hand the Colonel at once departed from his prepared text and went to East St. Louis. He said not informs this country began to talk of liberty and justice to "others it should see that everything was in order in its own house. He reiterated much he said at Forest Hills on July 4. He touched on the "appalling brutality" of the East St. Louis to that to let such things go unpinned would leave a stain on the name of America. "It behooves us to express our deep condemnation of those acts that give the lie to our own words," he said, and he called on the Government to "put a stop to order at home first. Before the Government others on having drawn the mote from their eye," he said, "we should see that the beam has been withdrawn from our own eye. So much for this brief culpology of my fellow citizens, now for the business of the Mayor." Mr. Roosevelt had concluded his prepared speech the Mayor introduced Mr. Gompers, and the later told a little story to the effect that had his own way he would say, "Them's my sentiments," and sit down. Then he turned at once to the East St. Louis matter and said he would yield to none passing detestation of acts of violence. "Exercise of Tyrannie Power" "I wish I had brought with me," he went on, "a telegram. I received just this evening from the Secretary of the Federation of Labor in Illinois, explaining the whole matter. It was not a question of whether I but a member of the Chamber of Commerce—there as well, who warned those who were bringing the colored men from the South, that they were to be workers. Yet thousands 'were brought laborers. Yet thousands were brought in' and had not a place in which to lay down their hands. The thing was an exercise of tyrannie power, like that which existed in old Russia. There was applause at this, and Col. Roosevelt looked thoughtful. Mr. Gompers went back to the Declaration of Independence, said that all the ideals of America had not been realized by say means and that "there is too much to the war and his military effort to the Russian War Commission. He was warmly applauded and up to the moment he sat down the peace of the meeting had not been disturbed. But he had started the "ball." When Mayor Mitchell rose to present Assistant Bakhmettiief, Col. Roosevelt jumped up and determinedly stalked toward the front of the platform. "Mr. Mayor, may I say one word?" he asked. "Col. Roosevelt wants to say a word meant," said the Mayor and the crowd clared. Waiting for silence, the Colonel speaking through his teeth as if when desiring to be emphatic, "AM NOT WILTING THAT A MESSAGE CALLED TO COMMANDMENTS FOR THE BATTLE OF BERMuda in RUSSIA SHAIL, HAVE SEEN THE MESSAGE, EXPRESSSED OR TO HAVE ACCEPTED APOLLOISES FOR THE BATTLE, INVASING IMPPOSED ON COURONAL PROGRAM." Shakey the Risk of Combat! "Once a great shout greeted the Colonel. The crowd roared its approval. "Justice," with me, is not a mere word; went-on the Colonel, bringing up the right arm and punching the atmosphere. "It is his translated imitation," by exclamation. "HERE, THE COLONEL TURNED AWAY AND FACED ME, COMPLAINING SHARING THE FIST AT HIS A MOST MANAGING WAY." by explanation, silence or evasion apologize for, murdering helpless women and children, then how can we proclaim the people of Russia? I have heard very much the same excuse given by the Russian autocracy for the pogon. The last was in an uglabar, "Good boy, Teddy," shouted a score and there was a chorus of "Boos," Indicating that the crowd was not all with the Colonel. "Small we by silence acquiesce in this men's and children's own ownership." I am a a Democrat of the Democrats and I will do every THE GAZETTE thing for the laboring man except that which is wrong; and that I won't do for any man or any cause." AGAIN THE COLONEL TURNED AND FACED FISH. THE GOMPERS AND SNOW FISH. THE GOMPERS WHITE-FACED, STARTED TO RIDE, THOUGHT BETTER OF, AND SAT DOWN. THE COLONEL CONTINUED TO TALK DIRECTLY AT HIM. "I don't care a snap of my fingers for the head of the strongest organization in Illinois." he went on. "THIS HAPPENED IN A NORTH-PROVINCE NUMBER THE BLACKS TWENTY TO ONE, AND IF THE WHITE MEN, THERE CANNOT PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS WITH THEIR VOTES AGAINST AN INSIGNIICANT MINORITY, AND HAVE TO RESORT TO THE MURDER OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THEN SAY THAT GAVE ABRABY LINCOLN TO THE PRESIDENT MUST BOW ITS HEAD IN SHAMM." Wildly enthilastic shouts greeted this. Mr. Gompers got up. A large crowd yelled at him as he cried to the Colofiel: "You ought to investigate first, then make your charges." Won't Allow Him to Justify Murder. EVIDENTLY IN A PASSION, THE COLONEL STALKED ACROSS TO THE LEADER. HE SAT DOWN. THE COLONEL STOOD OVER HIM, SHARING HIS FINT DOWN INTO HIS FACE. "Murder is murder." he shouted, "and I'll not allow you or any one else to justify it." Something else was said between the two and the Colonel continued to shake his first at Gompers. The yelling of COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT the crowd made what was said quite in audible. "Bravo, Teddy," shouted some; "Answer him," cried others at Gompers. The Coldell stalked back to the center of the stage. "We will go," an archetype which is necessary to bring justice to the labar- ing man and assure him his proper place," he said. The Gompers adher- ents in the crowd saw their chance. "You never did; you never did; cried fully a hundred-mei. The Colonel went on. The murderer is murderer I will put it down, and I will never submit to an allegory for it. I never will! "We are gathering here to greet and congratulate these men who come to us from a nation that has gained its freedom. On such an evening I will never forget the day when the reality, apology is made for the murder of the helpless: I never will!" And with that the Colonel took his heart, perfectly white in the face. For the next three minutes the row in the audience was almost deafening. There were cries, "Answer him," cries of "Gomperm!" cries of "Shame," cries of "Brazov." Gompers waved his hand to his friends in the audience, motioning them to be still. The Mayor motioned for silence and didn't get it. He pounded the lectern with his hand. He pounded it with a roll of paper he carried. He shouted for silence, and at last he got it, or at least a little of it. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "we of the Russian people—" Another outburst of mingled cheering and shouting greeted this, but the Mayor raised his voice and kept on—and not for other purposes. I now introduce to you Amfassadze bureau of Russia, the ledder of the Russian Mission to this country" "as far as the audience was concerned As far as the audience was concerned the hostilities ended there. "Murder Is Not Debatable." When Col. Roosevelt was questioned afterward he said: "There never was any justification for murder. Murder is not debatable." When men crowded about his car and congratulated him on his stand he said: "While I believe in Democracy in the abstract I also believe in it in the concrete." Another victory and a good one, too, for "Teddy." HON. JOSEPH C. MANNING.

I stand for the principles of freedom, abroad and equally as strong for their application to oppressed peoples at home.

Be it resolved that we, citizens of the United States and residents of Cleveland, Ohio, raise our voices in strong condemnation of the appalling outrages committed upon citizens of the United States and residents of East St. Louis, IL. Be it further resolved that these attentions erase an unAmerican, uninjustified and a blot upon the fair name of our great American republic. Be it further resolved that we call upon the honorable members of the House of Representatives in Congress assembled to place the stamp of disapproval upon this inexpressible horror. Be it resolved that such terrible outrages and mob violence may quench the outrage of persecution which has burned so true in the hearts of a harmless member of America's most loyal citizens, and Be it further resolved that the great American government cannot consistently champion the just cause of world democracy and wave aloft the immaculate banner of freedom, justice and humanity while within her own borders the stigma of race hatred, and the illicit punishment of a diseased public conscience make these colossal crimes possible.

JACK WOODSON A REAL HERO Clibsm 'o the Fourth Floor on An Outside Wall SAVES MOTHER AND CHILD HOW THE "EMPIRE CITY'S" ONLY AFRO - AMERICAN FIREMAN CAME TO BE APPPOINTED THE ROOSEVELT - GOMPERS "SET-TO AND SOME LESSONS FROM IT. HON. CHAS. W. ANDERSON. New York City, in a signed article in the N. Y. Globe, of July 5, 2 Richard G. Conover, a special writer on that paper, gives an interview from Fire Commissioner Robert Adamson, now of the Forest Service, to relate to the appointment, several years ago, of John Henry Woodson to membership in the Fire Department of New York city, Mr. Conover's article reads as follows: "All of the 5,20 members of the New York's Fire Department are of the Caucasian race save one - John Henry Woodson, of Book and Ladder Company, who served the city as a fire tighter since the paid department came into existence fifty-two years ago. Next Saturday Woodson will be called from the ranks of honor men and publicly praised by Mayor Mitchell, for his daring climb to fame-a swept window on the fourth floor of a Brooklyn tenement, where he saved a mother and her baby from certain danger. Asked how Woodson came to be appointed, Fire Commissioner Adanson said: HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON "Back in 1914 Chief Keenlon and I were talking over the next batch of appointments. I can remember the whimsical book of the chief as he called my attention to the fact that there was a Negro on the eligible list. You know what that would have meant in the old days. I assured the Commissioner I knew well what it would mean. If the Negro ever got on the eligible list there was always the department surgeon or surgeons who could be relied upon to find him too thatfooted, or to detect heart murmurs that would prove him unfit. "Well the chief looked me and asked: 'What will you do about it, Commissioner?' "What sort of a man physically is this appalled Woodson?" I asked the chief. "He's a regular Jack Johnspam, answered Kenny. "Nobody could object to him physically. His civil service rate has got by and is on the eligible list." I told Chief Kenyon that if Woodson not all, the appointment requirements I would make him a fireman regardless of the fact that he was a Negro. "Woodson was appointed Sept. 21, 1914, and assigned to hook and ladder company No. 106 at 124 Greepoint office. I looked at these reports from his superior officers lauding him for a most courageous rescue of Mrs. Katherine Meteria (white) and her baby, Michael, at 18 Dupont Street on Sept. 22, 1916. Mrs. Meteria appeared at a window on the fourth floor of this burning tenement enriched with flames. Woodson ran up the ladder but found he was not level with the ceiling. He called for a 12-foot sealing ladder, and mounting to the top rung of the main ladder, fastened the scaler on the window where, Mrs. Meteria stood reeling and shrieking. He ascended the sealing ladder, took the baby from Mrs. Meteria's arms and passed him to Fireman Vern Conlin. Then he and with his one free arm let himself down to the main ladder. It was a daring and complete rescue, not a flaw in Woodson's commander, Cepain Patrick J. Golden, accords him the highest praise. It seems to me that this is a good answer to those who might question the wisdom of my apperception than good. It has been recommended that his fine work he recognized in a fitting way, according to department procedure: "Woodson, when seen at his quarters, said: "I've been on the force three years nearly, and I've never asked a man for his friendship or association. I made a friend of mine, and I self on anybody. If they don't like my skin, all right. But they have treated me square. I come and go like the rest of the firemen here. I see, now that I am in the department, what a tremendous undertaking it was for a mar of my color to get in. I don't want to be a fireman, a commissioner. I don't think, from what I observed, that it could have been done under any other city administration but this one." Mr. Woodson's fine record as a fireman, and Commissioner Adamson's courage and sense of justice are alike credible. Adamson has lived in the city for the years and has become one of the city's foremost men. During all that time he has been a particular personal friend of ex COL. Leonard Charles W. Anderson. Speaking of the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, he seems to be receiving an unusual amount of public recognition of late. In addition to his appointment by Mayor Mitchel as a member of the committee to receive Marshal Joffre Petition Virtue and Hon. Joseph Bailfort and his appointment on the committee to receive the Prince of Olive and the Royal Italian War Commission, he was last week appointed a member of the committee to receive Hon. Boris A. Bakhmetieff, Special Russian Ambassador to the U.S. and the Russian High Commission. The ex-Collector was present at the reception tendered these distinctions to the banquet given by the reception committee at the Nizwa Vatican last Friday evening, and at the public reception at Carnegie Hall where G.L. Roosevelt delivered his seating denunciation of the East S. Louis atrocities and magnificent plea for even-handed justice for his colored citizens. Mr. Anderson was the only colored man appointed a member of an Exemption board, united with the state of New York. He was made a member of board No. 192, and will therefore, with his two associates on that board, have to pass on the claims for exemption in the Harlem district, which includes what is known in New York as the "black belt." Referring to the East St. Louis arrest, it is worthy of notice that it occurred in a northern republican state. It is also worthy of notice that when Col. Roosevelt denounced Samuel Gompers for his defense of the murderers of the East St. Louis riots, the galleries of Roosevelt issued Roosevelt and applauded Gompers "for their swerm, Gompers!" It is equally worthy of notice that the leaders of the social and commercial life of the city, who occupied the boxes and the orchestra seats, were most enthusiastic in their applause of the Colonel. The colored people of the country should not be surprised by the boxes and somewhat unexpected manifestations. They are highly significant and fraught with lessons which may be useful for the future. July 26 a monster parade of our citizens will march down Fifth Ave. from 60th St. to 22d St. headed by Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, vector of E. Church, as a solitary but dignified man against the East St. Louis riots, and against mob law and Pe spirit which expresses itself in mob law. OPPOSED, TO MAYOR DAVIS Cleveland, July 3, 1917. Editor Press. Dear Sir! The incarceration is an harmful statement in the "Starling Law." The news and articles published in The Press of the week are working a great injustice and are very irritating to the mass of my people of this community, the majority of whom are intelligent and good citizens. In the first place, not more than 10,000 thousand colored men, women and children have come to Cleveland from the South in the last few months, only about THREE thousand of that number being males. There will not be "15,000 Negro voters in this city by the fall of 1918," and it is not only wrong, but harmful, for statements to the contrary to be made. Secondly, "Starlight" Boyel has never accepted as a leader of my people of this community, and it is the very fact that the Maschke-Davis administration has endeavored to fist him upon us as such is the very thing that is going to cost Mayor Davis the support this fall of at least ninety-five per cent of the intelligent and self-respecting Colored voters of this community. They will not submit to any government action, and the same attempt was made by Maschke under the Baehr administration and failed. The Maschke-Davis administration, through Director Sprosty's notorious police order, No. 73, has allowed the moral status of this city, and particularly that of Ward 11, to degenerate to the lowest plane Cleveland has ever received. He has never rendered better service to the city than it did when it exposed that notorious order, and the miserable conditions it fosters. The Republican majority in the Sixth Indiana district recently to till the congressional vacancy was 2,813. The majority of the Republican candidate for congress last fall was -718. The majority now is four times what it was then. As in the New Hampshire election, the voice of the people has been heard. The Democratic argument was that the only way to stand by the President was to meet the political party to congress. The Republican party replied that the congressional records show that Republican congressmen were a great deal more apt to stand by the President, the Flag and the Constitution than were Democratic congressmen. The people were asked to pass on the business capacity of the present House of Representatives and its recent effort in the way of formulating the doctrine of the protective tariff was the Voice of the people has affirmed their unreserved confidence in the Republican party, its patriotism, its policies and its business ability. It is not our present concern to place in print the causes why they did not give this expression to the Democratic party. East St. Louis "A Disgrace" Washington, D. C.—Representative Dyer of St. Louis, has anpunced he would ask Postmaster General Burleson to issue an executive order chenging the name of the postmaster at East St. Louis, Ill., where race riots recently occurred.

We were too busy, this week, to make up the usual "Doings of the Race" department. Watch for it, next week. The editor of The Gazette has received an interesting letter from Lieut Col. Charles Young which it may publish next week. The Gazette is pleased to announce that it has made arrangements for better service than it has been getting for many months and hopes soon to show its patrons a greatly improved paper as a result. The start is being made with this issue. Watch "The Old Reliable." The resignation of Chief of Police Payne of East St. Louis and of Corne-ius Hickey, night chief of police, will be demanded of Mayor Mollman by the citizens' committee of the Chamber of Commerce. It will also demand the resignation of the three members of the police board or a promise of radical reforms. This determination is a direct result of the riots of last week Monday, in which over 100 persons lost their lives. Maurice V. Joyce, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, in a statement, declared the voting was the direct result of a long reign of lawlessness in East St. Louis. their desperation, in an effort to find some of the blame for the East Louis, Ill., butchery on our people, the correspondents of the daily press of the country, in that city, have unruled Dr. L. Bundy, dentist, a former resident of this city, and accused him of furnishing arms to our people there before this last wholesale riot under. It was no crime if he did. Members of the race, there during the horrible affair, now say that as many as Colored were killed and that the aforementioned correspondents refuse to state this fact for fear of encouraging resistance on the part of our people wherever they are thus attacked. One thing sure and that is, more whites were killed in this last riot than the daily press of the country has announced. BOOSEVELT AND THE BIOTS As most of our readers well know, for years we have had anything but a kindly feeling in our heart for Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The causes date back to the year of the closing of the Spanish-American war when, on his return to this country from Cuba, he wrote an article for Scribner's magazine in which he practically charged with cowardice the black soldiers who saved his life and those of his "Rough Riders" in that country. Such gross ingratitude, heralded so publicly, could not but affect every loyal member of the race as it did us. Then came the "discharge without honor" of "The Black Battalion," as the result of the Brownsville, Texas, flasco. While we never blamed him for being mislead into that, we have always held him responsible, and rightly, too, for the fail to return those lynch-murdered soldiers to the army after the U. S. senate inquiry had proven them entirely innocent of the alleged crime charged against them; and for his (Roosevelt's) persistence in declaring some if not all of them guilty in the face of said governmental official inquiry. Then his political persecution of our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, recently deceased solely because of his grand defense of "The Black Battalion," using the power and influence of the Presidential of fice to create a sentiment and condition which made it impossible to renominate the Senator. Following this came Col. Roosevelt's endorsement of the plank in the platform of his "Progressive Party," now defunct, which barred the Afro-American of the south from racial representation of the national convention of that party. With the foregoing thoroughly in mind, it is possible to explain Col. Roosevelt's magnificent effort in Carnegie Hall, New York city, last Friday evening, in only one way and that is obvious. His characterization of the most recent East Riotians as "murder" pure and simple, and his refusal to condone in such a great public meeting (to receive the Russian war commission), Samuel Gomper's smooth and slick effort to offer an excuse for those notorious, wholesale, riot-murders, entitled him to all the praise and credit loyal American citizens can show upon him. The latest report announces that more than one hundred Colored men, women and children lost their lives in that horrible butchery which was undoubtedly promoted by prejudiced persons, whose shameless and criminal conduct in the matter was and is still condoned by organized labor of that vicinity, if what their leading representative has had to say in the public press is to be thoughtfully considered and accepted. He it was who encouraged Gomper to make the statement in Carnegie Hall, last Friday, which very properly brought down upon his head Roosevelt's excoriation, something not only Gomper and his followers, but every person in the country who reads it, will never forget. It was decidedly the best, most opportune and strongest indent of mob violence in all its forms this country has ever had and God knows it needed it. Not only our own people but all fair-minded and law-abiding American people will thank Roosevelt for it. 1867 HOWARD UNIVERSITY 1917 Stephen M. Newman, A. M., D. D. President.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1917 PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE PRAISE FOR DR. SHEPARD. SUMMER SCHOOL NOTED Institution at Durham, N. C. Closes RU Hundreds of Teachers Are Diligently Applying Themselves to Study. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. "The eight annual session of the Tuskegee institute summer school for teachers closed the second week with an enrollment of 234. The indications are that this number will increase from week to week until the session closes on July 20. Vice Principal Warren Logan in the absence of Dr. Moton, principal, welcomed the teachers at the opening general assembly June 1. Devotions are held at each of the assembly meetings, and a special musical program is always presented. Together with these, the teachers sing enthusiastically the old plantation melodies. Many of the leading educators and public men will address these meetings. Addresses have already been delivered by W. B. Riley, superintendent of schools, Macon county, Ala.; Dr. George E. Haynes, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., and Hon. M. L. Brittalm, superintendent of education for the state of Georgia, and by members of the Tuskegee institute faculty. Mr. Riley paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty and faithfulness of the colored people. Dr. George E. Haynes' subject was "The Demand of the New Order." He said that the old order had changed and that the new order comes. It brings with it a new idea of the worth of the masses of men. He discussed the part the Negro is playing in the new order and said that the Negro needed now, most of all, in this economic and political change, organization based upon purpose and devotion. On Monday of the second week Clement Richardson, head of the division of English, spoke on "Reading." He showed the value of a knowledge of the meaning of words and their correct pronunciation, which will lead to a correct interpretation of the meaning of the author. On Tuesday occurred the second of the story telling hours. Type fairy stories were told by teachers from the children's house. These periods are attracting a great deal of attention. M. L. Brittain spoke on "The Making of a Citizen." He said that all children need to be taught the simple virtues—courage, obedience, honesty, politeness, courtesy. These make the good and valuable citizen. Habits are to be formed by the teachers. Form the habit of courage, obedience, courtesy. Mr. Brittain illustrated his subject with several interesting stories. He made a decided impression by his address. The Tuskegee institute summer school offers to all ambitious teachers courses covering review and advanced literary subjects, professional subjects and industrial classes in manual training, domestic science, sewing, canning, agriculture and handicrafts. Certain courses are also offered for the extension of certificates of Alabama teachers. The teachers in attendance are attracting much valuable comment because of their earnestness and faithfulness. They begin work at 7 o'clock in the morning. The social features are not forgotten. On each Saturday evening a moving picture show is provided for the teachers. The visiting teachers will also give two entertainments. A "get acquainted" social was given at the end of the first week. RECORD OF MOB VIOLENCE. Lynching Accelerates Race Migration, Says Head of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, has sent out the following, being a record of lynchings for the first six months of 1917. Dr. Moton says: "I find, according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, head of the division of records and research of the Tuskegee institute, that in this period there have been fourteen lynchings. This is eleven less than the number, twenty-five, for the first six months of 1916 and twenty less than the number, thirty-four, for the first six months of 1915. In ten instances, through the bravery of officers of the law and by other means, mobs were thwarted and lynchings prevented. "Of those lynched thirteen were Negroes, and one was white. Four of those put to death, one white and three Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. One of those put to death was a Negro woman, reported to have been of unsound mind, who in resisting arrest wounded an officer of the law. "I gather from reading Negro newspapers and from other sources that, in spite of the notable decrease in the number of victims of mob violence for the six months, the horrors connected with the recent burning at the stake near Memphis has increased among Negroes the fear of lynchings and accelerated their migration to the north." Judge Willett Rewards Employees. Misses Emily Johnson and Susan Wilson, maids in the home of the late Judge Charles J. Willett at Pasadena, Cal., are named as the principal beneficiaries in the judge's will. They are to receive all of the household furniture, valuable family silverware and $4,000 with which to purchase any home they may select in Pasadena. This is a case in which merit and not color is rewarded. Physicians Scorn City of Mob Violence. The officers of the National Medical association have taken a manly stand against lynching by changing their meeting place for this year from Memphis, Tenn., to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. The meeting will be held the last week in August. Revival of Tatting. We see that tatting has been revived in our best circles, but we don't suppose it will be any more difficult for a thoughtful man to hold his wife's undivided attention as he discusses the tariff in its various aspects and ramifications than it has been under the fillet-crochet regime.—Ohio State Journal. PRAISE FOR DR. SHEPARD. Institution at Durham, N. C., Closes School Year Free of Debt. From all sections of the country reports have come showing that a larger number of young men and women have graduated from the higher institutions of learning for the school year 1917 than ever before. The financial condition of many of these institutions is also good considering the stringent times caused by the European war and America's entrance into the same. Among the institutions of the higher type which closed the fiscal year clear of debt is the National Training school at Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president. William T. Bost of Raleigh, N. C., in a letter to the New York Evening Post regarding Dr. Shepard says: "Permit me to say for a prominent colored man and untriring worker for [Name] DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. his race, Dr. James E. Shepard, that in the recent commencement exercises of the National Training school at Durham, N. C., of which he is president, a condition was disclosed that is a very inspiring example to all people. "The Evening Post's clientele has been contributor to the philanthropies that have revolutionized the thinking on what is known as the Negro problem. Fifty years ago this missionary work began. There was little disposition to interfere with the black man if he were trained merely to do useful work. Fifty years later is a demand for similar training in all the schools for all the children. "Dr. Shepard less than a decade ago established his school. It has had more than its share of ups and downs, but a few days ago, when he closed the year, he was able to present a clem sheet for the second time in as many school years. "A man of his pull and prominence had every temptation to go north, where salaries are larger, work lighter and worries absent. Instead he has put his school finally on a business basis, has converted unbelieving enemies and despairing friends and won to his institution the friendship of substantially all the white people of his community and the state. "I think it a valuable lesson to those who have not felt the thrill and the blessness of battle to know that in the colored race here in North Carolina are men and women who are ideal Christians, because they have utterly lost themselves in a divine self forgetfulness." WHEAT STREET BAPTIST. Members of Famous Atlanta (Ga.) Church to Rebuild Edifice. The recent fire which destroyed a large part of the residential section of Atlanta, Ga., also swept away the famous Wheat Street Baptist church. More than a thousand members of this church are practically without homes as a result of the confagration, and yet they are struggling hereditarily with what means they can spare from their daily bread to aid in a fund being raised for the rebuilding of their church edifice. Another pleasing feature about the situation is the friendly co-operation with the pastor and members of a large number of influential white people. The church property was valued at $100,000, and the insurance amounted to less than $14,000. The Baptists of the country should by all means lend a helping hand to this very worthy congregation. Communications addressed to the Rev. Dr. P. James Bryant, Atlanta, Ga., will receive proper attention. Sunday Schools to Meet In Yonkers. The annual meeting of the New york state Sunday school convention will be held with the Messiah Baptist Sunday school at Yonkers, N. Y., on Thursday and Friday, July 19 and 20. Many important features of Sunday school work are on the program for discussion. New Literary Society at Pittsburgh. The latest addition to the numerous literary and social organizations in Pittsburgh is the Morningside Literary and Debating society. The society holds its meetings at the Morningside Baptist church, in which it was organized in June. Elks to Meet at Cleveland (O.) July 25.

In his report dealing with the facilities for education in the south among colored people Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the federal bureau of education at Washington emphasizes the needs of the rural schools. He says: "GO TO ASKINS" For everything in Gent's furnishings, underwear, shirts, caps, Arrow and Slidewell Collars. "According to the report of the state superintendent, the expenditures for white schools in Alabama increased tenfold between 1880 and 1910, while those for the Negro schools doubled. Similar expenditures in North Carolina increased eightfold for the white schools and threefold for the Negro schools. It is noteworthy that practically all these increases have taken place since 1900. In most of these improvements the city schools have been favored to the neglect of the rural schools both for white and colored pupils. Tents for Parties Bathing, Fishing, Etc.

Cent. 8389-K Dr. Jones hays great stress on the remarkable progress in agriculture made by the colored people of the south, where nearly 80 per cent of the Negroes live in rural communities. By 1910, the last available census, 893,370 Negroes own their farms or cultivated land as tenants. This is an increase of 16.4 per cent over the figure for 1900. Of the total 218,972 were proprietors and 672,964 were tenants. TO OWN A HOME TO BUILD ON YOUR VACANT LOT, TO MAKE YOUR RENT PAY FOR YOUR HOME A SMALL PAYMENT STARTS TT. OUR PLAN DOES THE REST LOANS AT ONLY 3% INTEREST "Preparation for rural life is the greatest educational problem of the white and colored people of the south. The rural education of the Negro is absolutely essential, not only to the welfare of the race, but also to the successful development of the southern states. Though rural opportunities are perhaps least appreciated by the educated group of colored people, they are those in which the Negroes are making their most remarkable gains. Rural life represents both the best progress and the greatest needs of the colored people. All plans for their improvement must give large consideration to the problems of rural life. SLAUGHTER BROS. Funeral Directors and Embalmers "Important as this phase of education is both to the south and to the colored people, the public and private facilities provided are very inadequate. Other than the agrieultural and mechanical schools, largely maintained by federal funds, the states make practically no provision for the agricultural education of Negroes. Of the private schools, Hampton institute, Tuskegee institute and a few smaller institutions, are making a genuine effort to prepare pupils for rural life. With very few exceptions, however, the colored schools have failed to develop an interest in rural problems. The large majority have not even tried. LISTEN! Found At Last! DROPSY MEDICINE This medicine is very effective, driving down the swelling in 15 days. Splendid and numerous testimonials. "The explanation of the indifference is in the conviction of the colored people that the way to prosperity and happiness is the study of literary subjects and especially the classical languages. In this they are following the example of the white people, who are only now beginning to see the error of their belief. This conviction is emphasized by the life of drudgery which the pupils in colored schools have always seen to be the lot of colored farmers. "A partial explanation for the failure of the schools lies in poorly prepared agricultural teachers who have themselves only a weak hearted belief in rural life. With inadequate training and a lukewarm interest in their subject these teachers have endeavored to make use of large farms in their educational efforts. Failure was inevitable. The emphatic conclusion of this study is, therefore, that the first step in rural education should be the enthusiastic advocacy of the theory and practice of gardening for every colored pupil. "Along with this instruction in gardening for the elementary pupil manual training should be taught. In the teaching of both agriculture and trade to the beginners there is no need for an extensive farm and expensive shop equipment. What should be done is to teach the children how to do these simple things about their farms and houses which, if well done, will make their homes better and healthier in which to live. Mr Foraker has given us his experience in the Union Army on the Bench, as Governor of Ohio and in the Senate of the United States. Political and public events of great importance and incidentally many national characters are dealt with in the most enlightening manner. The work will prove of special interest to all students of political history whether they are public officials or only public spirited Americans, interested in the preservation of our institutions. "If too big a school plant is attempted the cost of upkeep will use up money needed to get good teachers, and training on the farm or in the shops will lose its educational inspiration and become mere drudgery for both pupil and teacher. For the other children who decide to make farming their life work a two year course would be sufficient, and for those who would become managers of large farms or teachers of agriculture a four year course will cover all phases of the sublect."

E. church, Sunday afternoon, when our local Council of Women's clubs observed "Woman's Day" with an interesting program, informs THE GAZETTE that many of those present were greatly amused when the pastor very innocently suggested that "200 women sign a petition demanding better police protection, etc. for Ward 11, take it to Councilman Tom Fleming and make him present it to the mayor." The pastor is "new" in the city and evidently does not know that this would be a waste of time and effort, and that the women do not feel disposed to usurp a clear duty of our ministers who have long boasted that they were "charged with the moral welfare of our people of this community." Our people have begun to ask, what they have it to do, and exercises over our local ministers that apparently makes them FEAR to lead a concerted and public demonstration against the testering immoral condition in Ward 11? Until this is done, and well done too, there will be no material improvement in the moral tone of that section of the city. Mrs. Inez Fairfax and others left Monday for Mt.

At last the letter came, and he started. But his train was twelve hours late and when he finally reached Cleveland, there was no one at the station to meet him.

Suits Pressed, 30 Cents 2738 Central Avenue Cleveland, Ohio THE GAZETTE ENTERS IT'S 35th YEAR NEXT AUGUST WHAT CAN WE DO? Simple Dresses for School Wear After an auxiliary of the Red Cross has secured a permanent place of meeting and has equipped it as a workroom, the next thing to do is to determine just what kind of work the auxiliary will undertake to do. If it is decided to make surgical dressings and hospital supplies, it must be remembered that these include many different things which must be made according to very definite specifications and up to certain set standards. Most hospital and surgical supplies are the product of needlework and the sewing machine. They include pajamas, bathrobes, sheets, pillow cases, different sorts of bandages, compresses, gauze rolls, wipes or sponges, and gauze drains. The auxiliary should organize a class in the preparation of surgical dressings and employ a qualified instructor to teach the correct methods for making all surgical dressing. Members of the class, having taken the course, will be in position to instruct others and supervise the work of volunteers. A portion of the money received for membership fees may be used for paying for the services of an instructor. In many communities women in sufficiently good circumstances have taken the course at their own expense, and afterward donated their services, instructing classes in the work of making surgical dressings. Upon completion of the course a certificate is issued to those who pass the examination qualifying them to become instructors, and a card certifying to this is issued by the bureau of nursing service. The bureau furnishes also a circular of information concerning the conduct of Simple Dresses A good many weeks before they will be needed, simple dresses for school wear next fall, make their appearance. Those for the younger girls, just presented, are very plain and present about the minimum in the word of making. But they are smartly cut, and have a few new and noteworthy points in their make-up. One of these early models for full is pictured here, and it is suited to any of the familiar wool materials, or to heavy cotton. It is cut in one piece, with two single box plats at the back and at the front. A short sash of the material of the dress is fastened at each side under one of the front plats, brought to the back and looped over. The sleeves are long, and large at the top, and the skirt is cut with an outward flare. It is somewhat longer than knee length, and without trimming of any kind. The dress buttons at the front and has a short "V" shaped opening at the throat. It is shown with a white pique collar, as plain as the dress, but collars of thinner materials, like ordiane or dimity, finished with very narrow crocheted edging, might be substituted for plique. In the interest of preparedness a variety of easily handled collars for the schoolgirl are to be furnished with a few substantial dresses; for fresh and pretty collars contribute deintriness and something of variety to the schoolgirl's dress. Now that everyone is asked to help to conserve wool, it is not out of place to suggest that wool dresses that have been discarded by grown-up mem- classes and their examination. Further and full information concerning the course in the preparation of surgical dressings and the formation of classes will be furnished upon application by addressing Bureau of Nursing Service, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. Julia Bottomly Reducing Waistline. While these are the days of the Venus de Milo waists, still there are some women with waists that need reducing. A good exercise for the purpose is as follows: Placing the hands on the hips, bend the trunk forward and stretch the arms down until the fingertips touch the floor. Exhale as you bend down and inhale as you straighten up. Repeat this exercise four or five times daily. Wide Belts of Ribbon ribbons. Wide ribbons can hardly be too wide, indeed wide enough to form the bolt, which reaches from the waist to bust and goes under the arms. Vivid greens and pinks and reds often assert themselves somewhere in a young girl's toilette. Such ribbons also border skirts. A Pinked Sport Hat. Worn with a suit of beige jersey was a smart little sports cloak made entirely of row after row of pinked white broadcloth with navy silk showing through the pinked edge. A tiny blue silk bow finished the crown front. for School Wear bers of the family should be handed down to the younger girls and remodeled into schooldresses and frocks for everyday wear. Even though there is no need to economize, so far as the family is concerned, it is patriotic to make use of discarded woolen dresses in some way. If they are not needed at home, no one will have to go far to find a place where they can be used to the best advantage. Some women hoard clothes and other belongings which they cannot use, rather than to give them away. This is always stupid, but just now it is considerably worse than stupid. Julia Bottomley A touch of Color. Wash blouses showing trimming contrast often give the home dressmaker ideas for color combinations that lift a blouse out of the ordinary. An expensive blouse seen recently was a sky-blue handkerchief linen. All the seams were hemstitched. Its decoration was a frill about 4 inches wide of white down the front, a sailor collar and turned-back faring cuffs of white organdie. The collar had two rows of narrow lace, one on the edge, one a half-inch inside. The front frill was run into horizontal short tucks from the point of the collar to the belt, and the edges left free formed little ruffles edged with a bordering of valenciennes lace the same width as the collar. The cuffs had two rows of creamy val spaced like the collar. AZETTE THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1917. THE HAT MARKET THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION The milliners' windows just now are devoted to hats that look cool, and suggest outings and the joys of summer time out of doors. Cold, white, brilliant black and the spirited hats that combine these two, dominate all the displays. There are some lovely new felts and summer veilurs in pale "sweater" shade that are trimmed with ribbon rosettes that look like wonderful, newly discovered flower ferns. Place is made for them among the new arrivals in the millinery shop, but white and black fill most of the millinery horizon just now. The public is already hatted with vividly colored headwear for sports and country wear, so that, even with an avalanche of white-and-black hats at the height of summer, there will be no dearth of color in headwear. The three hats shown in the group pictured here are types of the new styles. A milton sailor that looks as cool as a breeze from the sea has a crown of pure-white satin and a narrow brim-binding of satin. Its trimming is a wide collar of white grosgrain ribbon with a flat double bow at the front. The soft felt hat is in a pale greenish yellow shade with ribbon collar and tailored rosette in ribbon of the same color edged with a silver cord. A pretty hat of white crepe georgette Blouse and Jal The jabot, having accomplished a triumph in fashions, after the manner of conquerors has compelled blouses to adapt themselves to its way of thinking. Its way of thinking is, that necks should be covered with high, wrinkled collars of the filimiest and softest of laces and the finest and airiest of net and crepe. And that ample cascades and ruffles of these dainty materials shall fall from the high collar. The jabot knows no rival in popularity so far as neckwear is concerned. A new blouse for midsummer, shown in the picture given here, accepts the mandate of fashion and betters its chances of success by joining forces with the jabot. To do this successfully it changes the usual order of summer blouses and fastens at the back instead of at the front. It is made of georgette crepe and is quite plain, like most late models. There is a group of five tucks at each side of the front extending from the shoulder to the bust fine. The sleeves are somewhat full and gathered into deep cuffs. All seams are hemstitched and the jabot is finished with a pictic edge and decorated with hemstitching. ENTERS has a narrow drooping brim, faced with black velvet. The upper brim covering of crepe is soft, falling beyond the brim edge in a narrow drop, and the top crown is a soft puff of crepe. A fan of plaited ribbon—white grosgrain—possed against the side crown and a bar in three pale colors of yarn, put on in long stitches, proclaim this a new idea—the latest fancy of some clever creator of new things in millinery. Julia Bottomly Of White Silk Wool Tufted. The novelty of the season is the combination of white silk and soft shetland wool which is being seen in the smartest millinery. This flat-brimmed sailor seen in a shop downtown is of white taffeta underfaced with black and the round crown is dotted all over with tufts of white wool like the seed pods of some great flower. A dash of black occurs in the two flat tabs slipped into a slot in the brim. The establishment of two universities for South Africa, one at Pretoria and the other at Cape Town, is being urged by a government commission. oot Join Forces The too-slender woman will welcome the high neck and the blouse fastened at the back and especially the full front of ruffles and frills that fall from the collar. Although the designers of styles profess to adore the slim figure and the long-neck, blouse styles for the past year or so, have been much better adapted to full necks and the rounded lines of plump figures. Julia Bottomley A rather new idea in skirts is being shown in some of the smart New York shops. The material, gingham, colored volle of tinted linen, is made rather full around the waist, but slightly narrower at the hem, which is turned up in a cuff which sometimes extends even ten inches. Underneath this deeply cuffed skirt is a full petticoat of white mull or organdle. The bodies of these frocks are made of the two materials, one of the most successful being a sort of full peasant chemisette with a bretelle girdle of the colored goods. S IT'S 35t M. A Just what will happen to the pongue street suit this year is a question that receives a very satisfactory answer in the latest arrival in that line. It is a street suit in which pongue in the natural color is bordered with the same silk in black. Those who aspire to smart styles for midsummer will recognize an excellent achievement in this combination. Black used in just the right proportion with sedate colors, gives them a distinction that nothing can excel. In this suit the skirt is a forerunner of promised styles for autumn. It is a little shorter than spring models. It hangs in the most uncompromising of straight lines, emphasized by box plaits, very thoroughly pressed into place. The black pongue is set against the natural light ecrum color in a border about eight inches wide. The coat is plain as to its body, with a panel effect at the front, below the belt, which is of ponge. There are flat pockets at each side, faced with black at the top and cut in a diagonal across the bottom. Straight cuffs, turned back at the top, are faced with black also. The wide emuette collar For All Hour For every day and out of doors the little miss in city or country cannot have anything better suited to her needs than the plain gingham dress pictured here. It is cut on boyish lines and worn over bloomers of the same material. It has a panel down the front, buttoning to one side with white buttons and striped collar, cuffs, and belt of gingham in the same color of the dress, with white stripes. There are some less robust, but very useful and pretty little dresses made of chambray in pink or blue, light yellow and pale green, with short bodices of white dimity and the chambray skirts either plaited or shredded on to them. Their charms for the youthful are re-enforced by pockets enticingly decorated with little chicks, or birds, or even baby rabbits and squirrels, done in cross-catch embroidery. Sleeves in these dresses are short, simple needlework stitches, the best liked of all! embellishments. Cross-sitch, feather stitch, buttonhole stitch, and just plain running stitches in colored cotton, seem exactly suited to the childish air of these little frocks. English nainook, with little trucks h YEAR is cut into revers at the front and bordered with black across the back. In the buttons the order of things is reversed and the natural pougee becomes the border. They fasten under loops of silk. Just the right sort of hat for this suit might be either a panama or bangkok trimmed with overlapping bows of narrow ribbon, like that shown in the picture. Julius Bottomley When all's said and done it's a nice thing to be able to throw a dress you have played golf in all day bodily into the soapsand, and that is why plaid gingham is having such a success at fashionable golf links. These cotton dresses are as simple as can be made shirtwaist style, with rather scant skirts tucked so that they hold their place. Some have Turkish petticoats beneath of the same material or of milanese silk in color to match the groundwork. s of the Day and val lace used for adornment, is for the present favored for the daintest of dresses for little folks. Silk sweater-coats, like that shown in the picture, are almost replicas of those that grown-ups wear with their dresses. This one is in blue, with white collar, cuffs and sash, and besides making its wearer happy—being so much like a grown-up lady in it—it tempers the cool air of morning or evening, or the beach breezes to the white clad little lady. Julius Bettemily Beach Capes For seashore wear, says the Dry Goods Economist, many silk capes have been brought out in plain and novelty tassel, in taffettes and in satins, together with some sheer silk crepes. These "beach capes," its they are frequently called, are being made up in all the popular colorings, as well as in dainty evening shades. The very smartest capes are of satin and are fur lined. NEXT A DRAFTWILL BESOLEMN Ceremony of the Drawing to Begin With Prayer. Secretary Baker Himself, Blindfolded, May Pick Out the Numbers. Washington, July 12.—Secretary of War Baker himself probably will draw the numbers which will tell who is to be drafted. He announced this following a long conference with President Wilson at the White House during which final plans for the actual drawing were discussed. If he himself does not officiate, he made it plain that one of the highest officials of the government would. Scene of Drawing. The great gloomy, oak furnished reception room of the war department, a mausoleum of a room about the walls of which are oil paintings of former secretaries of war from the earliest years of the republic's life, will be the scene of the drawing. The ceremony of the drawing will begin with prayer. Either the chapain of the senate or the chief army chapain will officiate. Then, blindfolded, Secretary Baker or his representative will draw the first number. The numbers will be in a large receptacle, each enclosed in a glass globule. The numerals themselves will be written in red ink on white paper and carefully rolled up and placed within the black glass capsule. The first drawing will be made for Alabama and the drafting will continue through the alphabetical number of the states, concluding with Wyoming. Numbers in Globules. Numbers in Globus. In the receptacle will be placed globules containing numbers to correspond to the number of registered men in the list containing the greatest number. That is, if there are 50 districts in Alabama and the sixteenth district has the greatest number of registrants, say 500, there will be 500 numbers in the bowl. Alabama, say, is called upon to furnish 50,000 men. On the first drawing, to carry out the example, say No. 2 is drawn. That would mean that the man whose card bore the No. 2 in all the 50 districts would be drawn. As the globule is drawn by the blindfolded man, he hands it to another official beside him, who opens it, draws out the printed slip bearing the number and holding it up so that all around can see reads it aloud. A third official, in charge of the registration list, marks off immediately the men drawn. This process will continue all the way through the states. The bowl will be re filled for each state. Notification will immediately be sent to the local boards of the men drafted and they will make the names public from their own lists. MOTHER KEEPS VOW, HER BOYS GO TO WAR Lexington, Ky., July 12. On the day that the battleship Maine was destroyed, Feb. 5, 1898, twin boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. William Hearne at Jett, Ky. They were delicate babies and it was freely predicted that they would not live. The mother, however, refused to share any such belief. President McKinley's call for volunteers was sounding through the land. Looking on her little lads, the mother said: "If God will spare them, I will give them both to Uncle Sam when they are 18." They were christened James and Sanford and grew into sturdy young manhood, so much alike that even the mother sometimes could not tell them apart. She never forgot her pledge and the boys, imbibing the spirit of patriotism, were ready to serve their country. The day they were 18 they were aboard the battleship New York and had a picture taken in their sailor uniforms for their mother. I. W. W.'s Paralyzie Industries. Washington, July 12—The Industrial Workers of the World, under a pretext of demanding higher wages, but who in reality are opposed to war, are paralyzing war industries and terrorizing the labor population in the northern part of Idaho, a large part of Montana, practically all of the state of Washington, Arizona and throughout scattered communities of Oregon and California, according to information reaching Secretary of War Baker.
