THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. No. 11 FRESH OHIO Written by 'The Old Reliable' Gazette Throughout the What Our People Are Doing E Personal, Social, Lodge, L cal—Marriages,De Written by 'The Old Reliable' Gazette's Correspondents Throughout the State What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc. Mr. Stolte has been a member of the Street Railway Committee of the City Council for four years, and continues a consistent advocate of three-cent fare. He is chairman of the Committee on Streets and advocates the extension of main thoroughfares; also the construction of sewers so that the city can get water from the ground up and age disposal plant when it is built. Councilman Stolte is chairman of the Committee on Building Code, to provide better housing conditions for all of our citizens, at the same time being careful not to put too much of a burden on persons desiring to build a home. He is also a member of the Finance Committee which passes on all expenditures and manages the city's government. It is hardly necessary for The Gazette to call the attention of our voters in the 19th ward to the fact that Mr. Stolte has always been a loyal and consistent friend of the race who believes in DOING for them and not merely TALKING. This was as true before he was elected to the City Committee. He is a consistent friend of one reason why his re-election to that august body comes with a regularity that is most pleasing to his hosts of friends and why his re-election, next month, is practically assured. However, do not take anything for granted, but pitch in, work hard and vote for Mr. Stolte, and get all the other voters in ward 19 to do so that you possibly can.—Adv. We notice that Harry Davis is the favorite in the betting. Some other favorites that we recall are: John L. Sullivan, in his fight with Corbett; Corbett against Fitzsimons; Fitzsimons, against Jeffries; Jeffries, against Jack Johnson, EAGLE GREENFIELD—Shiloh Baptist S. S meets at 9 a.m.; B. Y. P.

WILLIAM STOLTE Candidate for Re-election to the City Council in the 19th Ward - He Has Made Good. - Re- 1 ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLOCKS VARY WITH TRAVEL IN U. S. BUT DETROIT MAN HAS SCHEME TO BEAT THIS DIFFERENCE IN TIME, it's Needed There, as in Ohio, Where Every Town Suits Itself. The average commercial traveler who journeys about the United States has to keep a close watch on his timepiece to see that it is telling the truth. There is an hour's difference in time when you enter and leave some cities and it's an important matter that you do not forget to set your watch back or forward on hour, according to which way you are travelling. If you overlook it, you may miss a train. An express official who travels at most all the time and is so busy that he sometimes forgets to change his watch at Detroit, Mich., her instance, or at Dodge City, Ia., has frequently had an experience of this kind. Sometimes he has arrived an hour ahead of time or, perhaps, an hour after a train has left, giving him time enough for reflection. Recently, he conceived the idea of making his watch tell all four different times—Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific. He went to the jeweler and had extra hour hands put on his timepiece—each of a different color, so that he can recognize it at a glance, on the face of his watch. For instance, the ordinary hour hand, set at Eastern, is silver; a blue hand, set an hour back, represents central time; a red hand, for mountain time; it set two hours back; and a green hour hand, three hours back, represents Pacific time. You can do this to your own watch. The jeweler will make a set of hands of these colors and alter your watch for a consideration of a few dollars, so that when you go traveling it will not be necessary to distract the mechanism of your watch by setting the hour hands back and forth frequently, according to whether you are in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Denver, San Francisco or other places on the map. But such an arrangement would be particularly useful only to the other man salesman or other frequent tra Plants Enveloped to Study Temperature Effects. A contrivance designed to freeze whole trees has been constructed at the tah Agricultural college, Logan, Ucb, to aid in experimental work intended to discover, under actual outdoor conditions, the frost danger point. The contrivance is very similar in principle to the old fashioned ice cream freezer. It consists of a huge galvanized iron tank, large enough to enclose an entire tree. This tank is divided into halves and each half is fastened to a plank base, so constructed that a half can be frozen, and the two parts drawn together, completely enclosing the tree. The tank is doubled walled, with a four-inch space between the walls. A large lid covers the tank and rests on the inner wall. Ice and salt are packed, in between the walls and over the lid. The temperature inside is regulated by pumping in cold or warm air, and the air inside is kept stirred by an electrically driven jam. Four self-registering weather bureau thermometers and a thermograph, hung from different branches of the tree, keep an accurate record of the temperature within the tank. The resistance of buds to frost can be accurately determined by this method and data collected that will tell when snudge pots or other artificial means or orchids being hung with the fruit crop. The tree is not injured by the process, since care is taken and constant watch is kept to prevent the danger point from being reached. ENERGY LOST IN COUGH. German Has Figured It Up to Heat Units. If you cough once every fifteen minutes for ten hours you expend energy equivalent to 250 units of heat, which is equivalent to the nourishment contained in three eggs or two glasses of milk. So says a German who has specialized on the waste of energy in coughing. At a normal rate we expel air from the chest at the rate of four feet per second. Thus a persistent cough not only weakens the constitution, but it is a direct cause of emaciation according to the same authority. Such weighty statistics lead to a reiteration of the oft repeated injunction, "never neglect a cough." TO CEMENT RELINERS. Proceed in Following Manner, Expert Bays. Before cementing reinners, the paint on the inside of a tire should be scraped off. If possible turn the tire inside out, a part at a time, and buff with a power driver brush. Neither gasoline nor other liquid preparations should be used. They sum up the surface and consequently make good work impossible. Lots of fathers who give their daughters away would like to get rid of their sons-in-law as easily. UP IN FASTNESSES OF SOUTHERN ROCKIES Largest Existing Colony of Converses Those Far up in the flatnesses of the southern Rockies, hidden in one of the most inaccessible nooks that remain in this country today, what is probably the largest existing colony of behaves has established itself for a last stand. The beaver was once one of the most abundant of our American animals, but at the case with which he was trapped and the value of his fur soon drove him far on the road to extinction. Soon only the most attentive legislation was able to save him, but now he seems to be "coming back," and who ever he finds a favorable location he increases rapidly. There is no better place in the world to study the interesting habit of this little animal then in that little hidden mountain valley just south of the Colorado line, which the Mexicans have christened "Laxanitus" and the Americans call "Beaver Lakes." The valley nests against the very backbone of the continental divide, 1200 feet above sea level, and from every side it is approachable only by lows and tolsones forest travel, except in winter, when it is not approachable at all. The hollow in the mountains' crest is dotted with irregular rows and miniature ranges, of hills, two and three hundred feet high, that make up a most bewildering topography. In among these hills the beavers have built them a city. The landscape is ideal for the building of their dams, and by throwing quarters of stick and mud from hillside to hillside they have created a dozen big lakes, some of them half a mile long. Along the shores of these lakes are built the beaver bodies. There are probably a thousand beavers in this community, relishing in the spotted supernumerary cows on mountains below. They are shear houses, but they early in the morning and dusk at sunset you can often surprise them cutting the quaking aspen on the bank with their chicked feet, or plastering away industriously at one of these elaborate dams. GRASSHQPPERS FLY FAR Have Been Picked Up 1,200 Miles at Sea. The grasshopper would seem to have nothing in common with the songbird, yet grasshoppers have been picked up in swarms at sea. 1,200 miles from the nearest land. The African grasshopper has been known to cross the Red and Mediterranean seas in destructive numbers and even to fly to the Canary islands. For the most part these grasshoppers are of a migratory species (Schistosoma taurinum) noted for do great inches long and are equipped with large air wings in addition to the usual breathing tubes. These saus biby up the insect so that it is able to stay in the air for days at a time, exerting practically no effort at all. During flight its speed varies from three to twenty miles an hour. When it is tired it rests on the water and is borne along on the waves. PHOTO SECRET IS OUT Camera Compound Is Cisulfid Mixed With Lamblack. The dead black used by most camera manufacturers, the composition of which has long been considered to be a secret of the trade, is a mixture of lamp black and celluloid solution, the latter being far superior to shellac varnish for the purpose. The lamp black is stirred in and thoroughly incorporated with the liquid. There is no difficulty in making the celluloid solution. Old photographic films may be created of adhering gelatine, washed and dried, then shredded as fine as possible. A solution is then made by dissolving acetate in amyl to the consistency of syrup and thinning down the acetone with it. MAKE WATERPROOF PAINT. Whiting, Water and Linedseed Oil Are Ingredients. To make a washable water paint, mix twenty-five pounds of the best whiting with two and one-half gallons of water and let it stand over night. The best way is to pour the water on the whiting and not mix it. The water percolating through the mass during the night makes a smooth paste. Work the mixture into one gallon of raw linen and pour it into the hands. The paste may then be thinned to paint consistently with oil, turpentine and driers. The paint will have sufficient gloss to be attractive and will wear well on inside work. Found the Place: "Excuse me, but does Walter Hulter live hereabouts?" Thus the English tenderfoot, traveling across the wild and woolly western prairie to the grizzled native in the slouch hat and whiskered trousers. "No," replied the native. "Well, do you happen to know where I shall be able to find him? politely pursued the Englishman. "No! "Dear me!" The tenderfoot stood puzzled. "I must have lost my way. Perhaps you can tell me where Mr. William Bluff, popularly known as Grizzly Bill, hangs out?" "I can." "Where? "Right here! I'm Bill!" "But," expostulated the tenderfoot, "they distinctly told me at the settlement that Halter lived within a gunshot of you." "Well," responded Grizzly Bill, "the did." JAPS WANT TOGS OF STRIKING CUT JAPS WANT TOGS OF STRIKING CUT TASTE IN CLOTHES MEANS BIG MARKET FOR MAKERS OF WESTERN ATTIRE. American Misc Right Share of Trade, Says Burauq Report. Rapid adoptions of western dress in Japan has made Nippon one of the most promising markets in the world for European and American makers of wearing apparel, especially ready-made clothing, let according to a report just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, the American manufacturers have not been getting their share of the business. The report estimates that at least one in every four or five male Japanese is now wearing western clothing. This means from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 persons, and the number is rapidly increasing. It is evident, therefore, that there is a large market for foreign style clothes, wherever made—in Japan, England, Germany or America. It is also evident that this market is rapidly increasing. At the time the war started at least two countries—Germany and England—were managing to supply Japan with a large amount, of ready-to-wear clothing. They were doing this at prices generally much in excess of the Japanese made products and selling them in the keenest competition with the Japanese articles, because of the superior quality of material or the workmanship or both. According to the author of the report, Special Agent Stanhope Sama, the Japanese like to dress well and in as strict conformity as possible with the best prevailing fashion, whether in their native or in adopted foreign costume. They are not economical in the sense that they will wear old or interior clothes. They wish always to make a neat or natty appearance, with good lines in their coats and trousers, and they especially like the former well cut and with a somewhat military look. In no other country, says the report, will the young men or the business men of standing spend more in proportion to their income for the purpose of making a smart appearance. It has been said that the better class of American wearing, apparel cannot be sold in Japan because of the low priced labor available for Japanese makers of clothing, but once having adopted foreign dress the Japanese, true to his instinct for neatness and smartness, wishes to wear only the correct style, even if it costs more than the same clothing made by a native or Chinese tailor. This is shown by the fact that in most of the better class tailoring shops a point is made of having the cutting at least done by an English or American tailor. There is no more striking evidence of the growth of foreign influence in Japan than that furnished by the shifting of the national costume. Every day sees some change in this respect. Pictures of street scenes in Tokio of Japanese street life from that revealed by pictures taken today in the same thoroughfares. In the crowded hours of the day the streets of these cities present quite a western aspect. If one goes into the banking houses or into the larger commercial and mercantile establishments or into any of the government offices, every employee will be found clothed in western garb. It has ceased to be a question of national sentiment—as many sought to make it some years ago—and has become a necessity or a sort of uniform of advancement, and as such is being adopted more and more widely. FREIGHTING A STEAMER. It Now Can Be Done by Marine Elevator. A marine elevator which enables a vessel to be loaded at any time or tide, which doubles the normal rate of the loading and which reduces expenses a corresponding amount is now being introduced all along our coasts. Formerly a const steam had to wait for a tide to turn up before she could jump up to the loading dock. Then the cargo was either hauled up by the ship's derricks piece by piece, or it was run up the gangway by the truck load. But with the elevator designed by Harry Burlow of Seattle, Wash., an entire platform of material can be quickly carried up to the vessel deck at once. And if the tide is out, the light sound boat carrying the elevator steams from the dock to the vessel anchored near by. A small electric motor mounted on the top of the elevator structure furnishes the power for the half dozen cables used. The motor controls are placed at any point that affords the operator an unobstructed view. After the operator has brought the platform to the level of the loading dock, the filled platform can be easily raised up to the deck, the largest steamer. Level trucking is thus afforded in place of trucking up or down steeply inclined gangways. This fact makes the elevator indispensable for loading explosives or fragile wares.

MAYOR BITTERLY ARRAIGNED AND OTHER PROMINENT LOCAL SPEAKERS THRILL A BRILLIANT AUDIENCE OF REPUBLICANS AT THE HOLLENDEN The Hugh E. F. Taylor campaign old, he said, "To maintain the city's committee's public meeting, Monday evening, in the assembly room of the Hollenden Hotel, the formal opening of his campaign, was attended by 250 republicans. The speakers were Geo. B. Merrell. Attorneys Frank G. Carpenter, John C. Heald, Gilbert G. Holmes, the editor of The Bakewell, and Taylor E. Seamley. Harvey, chairman of the committee presided. It was the most enthusiastic and successful of the several meetings held there during the campaign. Instead of promised efficiency in every department of the city government, Mayor Davis has gathered around him "an aggregation of the most colossal incompetents and misuses that ever surrounded any mayor of M. Heald, whose indisposition with astreatic pertinent criticisms of the Davis administration. He alleged Davis had violated every campaign he made two years ago. He should be done by a revenue from the vast volume of heavy traffic that continually smashes expensive pavements, the fund so provided should be used solely for street repairs. One of the worst outrages ever limited on a Bakewell, and Taylor E. Seamley. Harvey, chairman of the committee presided. It was the most enthusiastic and successful of the several meetings held there during the campaign. If I am elected the filtration plant will be working or something will happen. If I am elected I shall handle the city's business just as I would handle my own. It is time, perhaps we are barely in time, to push forward this movement successfully to govern Cleveland in a substantial, dependable, business-like way." Storms of applause approving Mr. Taylor's points and approving his attitude as regards municipal affairs greeted him from the start to the finish of his splendid address. He sledge he made two years ago. He HUGH E. TAYLOR charged him with neglect of the city parks, failure to clean streets and collect garbage, and extraresque in the conduct of municipal affairs. Attorney Heuld was a Davis supporter two years ago and deeply regrets this great mistake. Mr. Gallingher's speech, a careful review of the Davis administration and its chief, was punctuated with humorous statements of facts that also brought frequent and hearty appeal. He is a persuasive, aggressive leader, an amoral and spve—and holds the undivided attention of his hearers. Mr Gallingher is one of the best speakers the Hugh F. Taylor, campaign committee has on the stump and will win many a vote for his candidate before election day in November. He followed with an exposition of Davis-Morris methods, in connection with the local city government, that again stirred the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm and Geo. B. Merrell, former president of the Forest City Steel and iron Co., said that Hugh F. Taylor would save the city from financial ruin from the st praise for honesty, integrity and sound and excellent business judgment any one could give any man. Then came the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, who instituted at the council investigation of the police that after the issuance of Order 73 conditions of vice and gambling in the Central-av district had become the 'pottennesi' in the week and a half since the council investigation had unfettered Chief of Police Rowe's hands. Rowe had driven out of the city 200 gamblers and purveyors$^8$ of vice from that district. He stirred the audience to outbursts of applause, repeatedly, during a half hour talk that undoubtedly greatly increased the number of vices by Taylor for mayor of the city of Cleveland. With Mr. Taylor and one of his most active assistants, Coralius Maloney, Esq. of the Taylor executive and campaign committees, Mr. Smith also addressed a meeting of 200 Hungarian-American citizens in the new Haltmorn Hall, in E 55th avenue, and became the evening, and received what amounted to practically an ovation at the close of his address. Mr. Maloney and Mr. George Kimberly, secretary of the Taylor committees participating in the same, Mr. Maloney's address, at this meeting, like Mr. Taylor's, was an exceptionally able and logistic administrator whose morbid dismantlement of the city's affairs for nearly two years past. While a deliberate talker, Mr. Maloney is very forceful as a campaign speaker. In his speech, Monday evening in the assembly room of the Holldenden Hotel, Mr. Taylor declared himself for a business administration, the axing of heavy truffle for street repair funds and the successful operation of the new dilution plant. He also advocated for alleged failure to handle the city affairs in a businesslike manner. He prophesied the bankruptcy of the city in five years unless more economy is used. "Conditions absolutely force a policy which will apply the normal increases of the tax duplicate, not to making new debts, but to reducing the SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ERLY ARRAIGNED The Next Mayor of Cleveland NENT LOCAL SPEAKERS LIANT AUDIENCE OF AT THE HOLLENDEN old," he said. "To maintain the city's great street and highway system, provision must be made. This should be done by a revenue from the vast volume of heavy traffic that continually smashes expensive pavements. The fund so provided should be used solely for street repairs. One of the worst outrages ever inflicted on a city has been the treatment of the subject of decent drinking water in Cleveland. If I am elected the filtration plant will be working or something else, I am elected. I shall handle the city's business just as I would handle my own. It is time, perhaps we are barely in time, to push forward this movement successfully to govern Cleveland in a substantial, dependable, business-like, way." Storms of applause approving Mr. Taylor's points and approving his attitude as regards municipal affairs greeted him from the start to the finish of his splendid address. He will undoubtedly be the next mayor of Cleveland. He is a Republican, too! A Pastor Says Vice Still Lives Here "Any report stating that vice conditions are better at the present time than at any time in the city's history is contrary to fact as far as I can see," Rev. H. D. Southard writes the Hugh F. Taylor campaign committee. The letter from the pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, Madison avenue N. W. and W. 99th Street, is contrary to fact. The candidate Taylor's committee in response to copies of a letter to Rev. E. R. Wright, secretary of Federated Churches, which the committee recently forwarded to 350 Cleveland ministers. Rev. Mr. Wright sent a letter to Mayor Davis, purporting to come officially from the Federated Churches, in which he stated that the committee were better at present than at any time within recent years." Claiming that Rev. Mr. Wright was not authorized to speak for the ministers of Cleveland and that the statement in his letter to Mayor Davis is "contrary to fact," the Hugh F. Taylor campaign committee of 250 last week wrote Mr. Wright, asking for a conference with the minister of Cleveland on facts and to remove the erroneous impression that the secretary's letter was sanctioned or approved by his organization. "At no meeting of Cleveland ministers I have attended has there been a vote of commendation or even a discussion of vice conditions." Rev. Mr. Southard wrote Mr. Taylor's committee. "I would not allow the impression to go out that Cleveland ministers thought conditions better unless they were given the opportunity to put themselves on record. It is to the average man a matter of opinion or political prejudice." Rev. Mr. Southard added. MILAN GALLAGHER ESO. On the witness stand at the police investigation, Rev. W. Wright admitted writing his letter to Mayor Davis after obtaining "over the telephone" the approval of Rev. A. Frank Houser, the mayor's pastor, and two lay members of the Federated Churches. Following is the letter from the Taylor campaign committee to Rev. Mr. Wright, copies of which were sent to the 350 city ministers. Whereas, it is persistently charged and a matter of common assertion throughout this city, and repeatedly urged upon this committee, notwithstanding the recent efforts of Chief of Police W. S. P. Crawford (1) That the practical, ordinary and decent restraints upon vice, essential and customary in all municipalities have been relaxed by the present administration and have broken down in Cleveland to a degree that has become scandalous and alarming; (2) That through corrupt politics influence and have been able to obstruct justice and avoid the consequences of their illegal practices; (3) That gambling, unlicensed traffic in liquors and commercialized immorality are going on openly and disgrantly in certain sections to an extent and with a deprivation hitherto unparalleled; Continued on Page Two One Year ..... $1.50 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20 Examinations for positions as stenographers and typewriters in the government service are held, every Tuesday, in Cincinnati and other cities. The places pay $1,000 and $1,200 a year at the start. All persons over 18 years of age can take the examinations and are urged by the government to do so, especially women. ALL who pass the examinations are certified for appointment, says the Hon. John A. McIlhenny, president of the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. Here is another splendid opening and opportunity for our ambitious and energetic young men and women of intelligence which should be taken advantage of. WHERE IS LABOR LEADERS' POWER! Months ago, among the war plans of the administration an adjustment board was provided, whose duty was to be to prevent strikes and other disturbances in establishments engaged in war work. The supposed leaders of the labor organizations agreed to the plan; if we remember aright, they accepted membership on the board. Yet strikes have not been obviated; they have been numerous, — the one in the Pacific coast shipyards being the most serious; and it is pertinent to inquire whether the leaders of organized labor, meaning by that the men who hold high office in those organizations, are without influence and authority over their members. In matters of politics and legislation, these men assume to speak with the united voice of organized labor, they promise to "deliver" its vote, they threaten to make use of its power at the polls. How does it happen that they are impotent in a situation like the present? PRAISE FOR CHIEF BOWE AND HIS MEN Cleveland, O., Oct. 17, 1917 To The Editor of The Plain Dealer and the Press. City. Dear Sirs:—Every one likes to criticise, it seems. One thing sure, we americans "have the habit." Possibly it is well that we have. A little praise, however, to those thoroughly deserving, is due at this time. Please permit the writer to give a little of it. As is generally known, the Council committee's recent investigation of local vice conditions resulted in the practical abrogation of Director Sprosty's notorious police order, No. 73, and the consequent emancipation—at least in part—of Chief of Police Rowe. One result: More than two hundred gamblers, thieves, highwaymen, and others of their ilk, have been made to leave the city, from the Central Ave. district alone, in the last three weeks by our efficient police and their equally efficient chief. This much I know, and I am ask- ing The Flat Dealer and The Press to permit me to give praise to whom it is surely due at this time. FLEMING AND DILLARD Our people of ward 11 have never nominated or elected Tom Fleming to the City Council. They have never wanted nor have they ever really accepted him as a candidate for or as a member of that body. In every instance he has been foisted upon them by Maurice Mascidle, the local Jewish "Republican" boss. The effort to make it appear that our people of ward 11 regard him as their candidate is a silly one, and no one knows this better than Tom Fleming and the few Negro employees of the city garbage plant and janitor service who are trying to force an acceptance of his candidacy for reelection. It is interesting to note the rapidity with which they secured the withdrawal of that pseudo and meteoric Woods-Sutton-Spero-Dillard candidacy. Two terms has Tom Fleming served in the City Council. What have the people of ward 11 to show for it? Possibly the worst street-cars and street car service in the city; a section of the city that is notorious because of its low moral status, possibly the vilest in the city; gambling and bady houses, buf- fet flats, speak-eases galore and about every form of vice imaginable rampant in the ward; throughout his terms of office, positively no effort to improve this sad condition of affairs and no protest from him, as far as we have been able to learn; no material improvements worthy of special reference have been secured to the residents of ward 11, and those who wished to see him, invited to do so at his office over a saloon. This latter ought to appeal especially strong to our ministers and the members of their congregations in ward 11, as well as others in that vicinity. Much more of an indictment can be brought against Tom Fleming's candidacy for re-election to the City Council if necessary. Not only our people but all residents of ward 11 ought to be and doubtless are, familiar with the facts. This doubtless explains why his ignomintious defeat on election day in November is so generally conceded. It is true that the editor of *The Gazette* encouraged Roger Dillard to enter the race for the city council in ward 11, until our return from Detroit, on Monday evening, Sept. 24, when we learned, much to our regret, that his candidacy was being promoted by others only for the purpose of electing the democratic organization candidate in that ward and not with any chance of Roger's being elected. We had hoped to arrange for Dillard's election and would have done so if permitted, but when we found that he and Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton had so arranged matters, with the assistance of one Spero, a political representative of (Benner) the democratic candidate referred to, as to make this impossible, we immediately notified Dillard (the evening of Sept. 24 and the following morning) that we would have nothing to do with his candidacy and followed this up with the publication to that effect in *The Gazette* of Sept. 29. On Sept. 28, 17, *The Gazette* the petition for signatures, contrary to our advice, and the voters of ward 11 to the number of about 300, being given to understand that we were backing his (Roger's) candidacy, signed them in a few hours. This shows better than anything else the tremendous feeling against Tom Fleming's candidacy in that ward. HE CANNOT BE ELECTED! On Sept. 28, 17, *The Gazette* the announcement that we were not backing Roger's candidacy but that Woods, Sutton and one of Benner's representatives (Spero) were, and this was true. On Saturday morning (Sept. 29), Dillard to day the Gazette office, accompanied by Mr. Byrd, a resident of ward 11, to plead for the editor's support which was refused and Dillard shown the door and asked to leave at once. This closed the matter so far as the editor was concerned and doubtless explains why Roger capitulated to the Fleming few and threw his sponsors, Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton "so high in the air" on the following Tuesday morning (Oct. 2), that we doubt they have as yet been able "to return to earth" and political equilibrium. Roger listened to Sam and Charlie, rather than to the editor. That proved his and their undoing in this political effort. The result: Very, very amusing to the editor. In this instance, like many others, "the laughs best who laughs last," and it certainly is our turn to laugh and we are doing so, believe us. Meantime the hundreds of voters in ward 11, opposed to the Fleming candidacy, will concentrate on some Republican candidate in that ward and elect HIM and thus rid the ward of an official (Fleming), foisted on them a second (or third) time by the Jewish political boss, Maurice Maschke, just as this same individual foisted on them former Councilman FitzGerald for two terms. ATTORNEY WARREN'S VICTORY! Warm and Deserved Praise for one of Our Successful Attorneys. Detroit, Mich.-The St. Ignace (Mich.) Republican, of Sept. 29, 77, speaking of the case of "Nellie O'Leary against the administratrix of the estate of the late James Gallagher, former judge of probate of Mackinac county, Mich." said "interest was stirred by the appearance (in court at Mackinac) of attorney Francis Warren of Detroit for Mrs. O'Leary. The case came up (in circuit court) on appeal from the probate court. Associated with Mr. Warren, for the plaintiff, also, was Attorney Jas. F. Shepherd of Cheboygan. The hearing consumed Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was not until a late hour Wednesday that the jury in a seated verdict. When opened Tuesday morning it was to be in favor of Mrs. O'Leary's side of the case, the administratrix, Mrs. Early, being found liable to account for $16,151.90. Mr. Warren's successful conduct of the case betrayed evidence of careful preparation for trial; and a complete mastery of detail; his presentation of the case was logically arranged and supported with concise argument and effective plea to the jury. Old time friends heartily congratulated him upon his forensic victory. Southerners' Protest Junction City, Kas—A protest against the sending of 12,000 Afro-Americans of the draft army to Camp Funston and the transfer of 14,300 other soldiers of the National army, now in the cantonment, to other camps was made last Friday by Mayor W. H. Thompson and six other city officials in a telegram to Secretary of War Baker. The telegram declare that Junction City has no Afro-American population.

(7) That full view of the facts have never been laid before, and it is urged upon us that a recent pronouncement published as coming from your body, denying these conditions, is incorrect and contrary to facts: (8) Therefore, we are instructed by the Hugh F.

COMPANY C, NINTH BATTALION Leaves for the Cantonment at Mont gotmery, Ala. —Thanks People for Help Dayton, O.—This city's last military organization left the city, last Friday, for the south, C company, Ninth Battalion, having departed for Camp Sheridan, at Montgomery, Ala. Several thousand friends of the company were on hand to bid them goodbye, but were disappointed because of the fact that the train did not come into Union station. The party was made up of about 200 men, six cars carrying them and their equipment to the south. The company was in charge of Captain Robert Mallory, although Major John C. Fulton, in direct charge of the battalion, accompanied the men on their journey. Other officers with the organization were Lieutenants Albert Jackson and George Ellis. About 50 men were scheduled to join the Dayton men at Cincinnati. The company had been in camp at the National Military Home since early summer, and other officers from the Ohio National Guard called for service. One company of the battalion, that from Columbus, has been in Montgomery for several weeks. The Cleveland, Dayton and Springfield companies joined the other (Columbus) company at Montgomery. Before leaving Captain Mallory thanked all persons who contributed to the fund for clothing needed so badly for his men. "My men leave Dayton in far better condition because of the efforts of the friends of the company than might have been the case if they had not provided the fund for the purchase of the articles we now have. The men appreciate the kindness of all those who aided them and I know that each will do his best to bring honor to Dayton wherever he be sent for service." The fund completed, last Friday, amounted to only $211.50 and was expended as follows for members of the company: Twelve dozen union suits ..... $162.00 Six dozen pairs socks ..... 7.20 Six dozen handkerchiefs ..... 6.60 Shoe repair bill ..... 25.60 Total disbursements ..... $201.40 Balance ..... $ 10.10 UNITED STATES SENATE Washington, D.

Haven Baptist church, Thursday and Friday, took up the problem of looking after thousands of our children who have come into the state recently from the south. The rush of MISS IVA HAINES laborers and their families to northern states in the last few months has brought this problem of children directly up to the Baptists and mission workers. The convention program generally varied and was prepared by a group of local missionaries, Dodd of Sandusky, editor of the journal, the organ of the association. Mrs. Mamie Ross of this city is president of the northern district of the association. TWO WHITES FOUND GUILTY Convicted in East St. Louis Massacre Trials. Belleville, Ill.—Herbert Wood and Leo Keane were found guilty, last Friday afternoon, of the murder of Scott Clark, an Afro-American, who died as result of injuries received in the recent massacre in East St. Louis, this county, and the penalty was fixed at fourteen years' imprisonment.

'Phone, Central 1929 W. We urge our readers to patronize him when they wish the best chickens, turkeys and ducks at the most reasonable prices. This is a race enterprise. Let us make it a success.—Adv. BROOKLYN GOV. JAS. M. COX Gov. Cox, late last Thursday, surprised everyone by honoring the requisition for Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, who is charged with murder in connection with the East Louis massacre in this made it necessary for Common Pleas Judge Powell, Saturday, to formally transfer Dr. Bundy, dentist, from the county jail to the custody of Illinois officials. He will be tried in East St. Louis. "I am innocent," said Bundy. "If given a fair trial I shall prove it." Ten Negroes and two whites have already been found guilty and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. This is the result of a massacre in which one hundred children were brutally lynch-murdered and but one or two whites lost their lives. Good Lord! Additional registration days: Oct. 19 and 20. On Nov. 5 persons who have been absent from the city on the four regular days will be registered. Transfers and removals will also be received and issued on that day. Do not attempt to register unless you have been a resident of Ohio for one year, thirty days in this county and twenty days in the city. Rev. Chas. Bundy's troubles came thick and fast, last week. First the death of his aged mother, after a lengthy illness, at his old home, Mt. Pleasant. Then the expradition (unexpectedly, too), of his son, Dr. Leroy Bundy, to East St. Louis, Ill. He has the heartfelt sympathy of the community and a host of friends and acquaintances throughout the state. Company D Ninth Battalion, left Cleveland, last Friday, for Montgomery, Ala. With the movement of these troops, Cleveland is left without organized soldiers. Our selective service men are ordered to be ready to leave for Chillicothe, altho no definite word has yet been received by selective service officials as to exact day of their departure. Mr. Charles Roc, an old Cleveland "now" died, last week Monday, at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Nelson Gant, E. 33rd St., after a brief illness, when he suffered "Chattering" young lady, to mourn his demise. "Chattering" was family called by a "bost of friends and acquaintances, was a member of the Caterer's association for many years. Undertaker Howard Shaughter had charge of the funeral. Mrs. S. N.

Sherman Kingsley, (white), secretary of the Welfare Federation, last Saturday said an organized attempt is to be made to better conditions among Negroes who have come in large numbers from the south. The housing question will be one of the first things taken up, he said. Kingsley said this at the City Club following an address by Hollingworth, a member of New York, who is associated with the National League on Urban Conditions. Hollingworth told what other cities are doing to meet problems caused by the influx. Cleveland has been TALKING about DOING something for quite a year and is still TALKING. The N. A. A. C. P. meeting at St. John's church, Sunday afternoon, was largely attended. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Butter R. Wilson, of Boston, delivered exceptionally interesting addresses on the effect of the present war on the Afro-American. Both saw, as one of the results of the world's war, a greater exemplification of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," as well as the many and varied advantages being enjoyed by our people throughout the north, particularly. Possibly the most interesting statements made by Mrs. Wilson were that our soldiers could not go away in such high spirits as other American soldiers because they did not know their wives, mothers and children, left behind, would not be butchered as in the East St. Louis masse, and that the treatment they were receiving from the government, these days, was far from being what it should be. This latter she very properly described the severest terms. A forty new members were counted by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at this meeting Mrs. Wilson also spoke in a number of local churches (white and colored), in a local settlement house, at Strongsville, Columbus and Mansfield. Mrs. Nannie R. Banks of Middletown, treasurer of the Grand Household of Worthy Grand Superiors, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and for many years prominent in traternal movements in Ohio, was the dedicating officer of Household of Ruth, No. 5359, recently organized in this city, Mrs. Florence D. Cochran of Springfield, District Right Noble Governor of District Grand Household, assisted in the dedication.

Price, who was, by the decision of the last annual conference recently held at Springfield, left to organize a Cleveland A. M. E. Mission, is now with the Jones Remedy Co. 3229 Central Ave., as general manager. Rev. Price came from Tennessee, some two or more years ago, for the purpose of organizing an Industrial Insurance Co., and did his first work in this city as collector for the "old reliable Gazette, which hopes that its friend, Rev. Price, will have success in securing agents and greatly promoting the business of the Remedy company. Additional registration fees Oct. 11, 19, and 20. On Nov. 5 persons who have been absent from the city on the four regular days will be registered. Transfers and removals will also be received and issued on that day. Civil service commissioners, Wednesday, appealed to Cleveland men to take examination for appointment to the police and fire departments. Council ordinance authorizes addition of 300 policemen, Jan. 1. Wednesday, there were 60 additional vacancies. Safer Prostry said most of the 60 men have been lost thru military service and an unusual number of resignations. Here is a glorious opportunity for many of our young men. The efforts of Fleming supporters to draw the editor of The Gazette into the Dillard - Benner - Spero - Woods - Sutton eleventh ward political mess will fail for the very good reason that we refuse to be so phased. The publication in The Gazette of Sept. 29,17, in which we announced our refusal to further lend aid to Dillard's candidacy which had been lowered, under the direction of Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton, to that of being but a "stalking horse" for Benner's (democratic) candidacy, made clear our position, and also explains our refusal to listen to Roger's plea for a renewal of our support when he came The Gazette office with Mr. Byrd, that Saturday morning, Sept. 29, 17, Meantime, let all voters in that ward opposed to Fleming and Benner concentrate their voting strength on Edward Stanley, Republican candidate for the city council, and thus defense Benner and Fleming and elect Stanley who is far and away the best of the several candidates for the city council in the ward. In an effort to obtain men needed to fill vacancies in the fire and police department, Public Safety Director Sprosty probably will ask the civil service commission for a ruling which would make eligible for appointment any man in Cuyahoga county filling civil service requirements. Policemen and firemen receive about $1,000 a year. Examination to fill more than thirty vacancies in the city service have been announced for Oct. 23 and Oct. 27 by Kline. The first examination will be for junior clerks. Successful applicants will receive a starting salary of $600 a year. On the 27th junior stenographers will take examinations for positions paying an in-depth rate of $20 a year. There are at least 1,000 of young men, in the city, working as elevator co-workers, waiters and porters who are able to pass these examinations. Here are splendid opportunities to get better-paying and permanent positions, that should not be allowed to get away. Good positions in the Post Office are also "going a begging." Wake up and get humy. Take the examinations. Our young women should "get ater" the young men and urge them to try for these and other positions open. Our ministers should call their congregations' attention to these openings. BEST FOR THE BLOOD—Puro Herbs. Sold only at Brown Drug Co. cor. E. 28th St. and Central Adv.—Adv.
