Tom Fleming's name appeared as bondman in fifty-nine police court cases in seven months, ending in October, when municipal court judges passed a rule barring attorneys from signing tail bonds, and Fleming is an attorney as well as a counselman. His bonds totaled $18,200. Although his name does not appear on the tax duplicate in County Auditor Zangerle's office as a property owner in the city, he claims to own property at 2151 Central E Ave., 2771 E. 309th St. and 2157 E. 309th St. His wife, in addition to owning the house in which they live at 2342 E. 40th St., he said, owned two other pieces of property. Tom's bonding record outshadows even that of "Drum Major" Henry Streets, for whom police were looking, Wednesday, and Logan Owens.

He immediately issued a warrant charging Street with being a suspicious person. Letters and cards showing Street's connection with police, criminal court and federal court cases were also found in the detectives. Nathaniel Benson, charged with robbery, was forfeited in Common Pleas court (criminal branch), Wednesday morning, by Judge Martin A. Foran.

Only Afro-American Signal Unit in American Army Shows Rare Courage and Skill Under Fire—Maintaining Connection by Telegraph and Telephone as Dangerous as Work of Combatant Regiments. With the American Army in France, La Mans, The 325th Field Signal Battalion of the 92d Division, our only signal unit in the American army, is "all colored" except the lieutenant-colonel, major and two or three line-officers. With a few exceptions all are college or high school boys, not a few of whom are experts in radio and communication at Brest France, June 19, the battalion proceeded to Vitrev. Bourbounnes Bains and Voixse. Here the radio company received its quota of the latest type of French instruments, a battery plant was established, and a full supply of telephones and wire was issued to companions B. and C. Here too, the infantry signal platoons of the battalion joined the outfit and shared in the training. The first test of real courage given the men and equipment in addition to stringing wires, sending and receiving radio messages, came on Sent. 27 in a sortie which resulted in the signal boys capturing eight German prisoners and two machine guns. This attack caused the loss of Corporal Charles E. Boydkin. Two days later, during a general admiortally wounded. On Oct. 10, the vance, Eerget, Henry E.

FORAKER AND ROOSEVELT. ```markdown ``` --- A letter, written by Senator Benson Jenson Foraker, to the editor of The Gazette not long before his death, is POSITIVE proof that "no meeting and explanations brought them (Foraker and Roosevelt) together," and "the pipe of peace" was NOT smoked by them. Roosevelt used smoke to make the amende honorable" in the case of our great and good friend, Senator Foraker, "The Black Battalion" or our people, he harmed so greatly, irreparably. Theodore Roosevelt, as we said in our last issue, was a great figure in American life, but was a GREAT MAN! He proved this best allusion or doubt when he failed to return to the army that "discharged without honor Black Battalion" after it was PROVEN INNOCENT of the crime charged against it. HARRY C.

The object of the club will be the social, literary and fraternal advancement of the young people of the local camp of Woodmen and to bring other young people into the order and club.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1919 A French cafe carries a sign: "English spoken here; American understood." We hope that will also be the condition at the peace conference. President Wilson says he is trying to say and to do what Washington would say and do if he were there. Washington wouldn't be there. He would be at home. When we recall how faulty was the thought of our officials prior to the entrance of America into the war, the common people should take courage and afterward do more thinking for themselves. --- The administration should either take all of our soldiers out of Russia or else put enough in to do the business. Watchful waiting was tolerated in Mexico. It will be intolerable in Russia. --- The government should issue a distinctive badge to every citizen who did not warm a chair in Washington. In after years everyone should have some way of proving that he was not a safety-firster. The "over the rolltop" heroes should always be identified in some way. At last we have it. The Hog Island shipyard, says Mr. Piez, "has been a very great moral factor in our successful prosecution of the war." Sixty-three million dollars of "moral factor" is quite a nice amount of moral factor, in fact almost immorally so. --- A judge of the Common Pleas court of Philadelphia has refused to issue an injunction against Grand Master Edward H. Morris and other members of the G. U. O. of O. F. sub-committee of management. This is a body blow to the other "grand" officers "elected" in New York City, several months ago. A number of our soldier boys have been refused their old jobs on their return to the city and should report the matter to Secretary Harry L. Vail Mayor's War Board, city hall. Chester K. Gillespie, who worked for the Otis Steel Co., for about two years writes us that he is one of this number. It is hard to believe—that a firm like the Otis Steel Co., would permit such injustice. --- The New York Evening Post says it was an Englishman who wrote that while there was more liberty in England, there was more equality in America, and more fraternity. But as soon as the Republican congress-elect can get in its work there will be a whole lot more liberty in America. The present Democratic congress does not seem to know that the war is over and seems to be well satisfied to let war autocracy become a custom in peace. ENNUI INCREASING. The French representatives to the peace conference will be Premier Clemenceau, Foreign Minister Pichon, Finance Minister Klotz, French high commissioner to the United States, Ambassador to Berlin Cambon. This delegation is a powerful one, fittingly representing the French nation. It decidedly outclasses the House, Lansing, Bliss, White representation from our own country. It will be noticed that the personnel of the French delegation is recognized as exceptionally strong, selected with a view to securing commanding ability in politics, diplomacy, finance, economics and military sagacity. The great names in America do not appear in the above list. Mr. Wilson can properly be away from his duties and at the peace table only a reasonable length of time. The American people will not approve of prolonged presidential absenteeism. Then we will have to play our deuces and trays against kings and aces. There is a feeling of ennui growing among the plain people. LEST WE FORGET. "Lest we forget," let us remember that while the administration at Washington sat twiddling its thumbs, Great Britain, by "infringing on the freedom of the seas," saved the world not only for democracy, but for everything else. "Lest we forget," let us remember that it was the heroism of the thin blue line of France, the finest epic of heroism since the world began, that held back the German conquest of the world. "They shall not pass," declared the falling, dying France, and they did not pass. "Lest we forget," let us remember that it was Italy that helped to hold the Mediterranean and that always stood as a deadly peril on the German-Austrian flank. "Lest we forget," let us remember that Great Britain, France and Italy gave us thousands of lives when we gave up tens, suffered and sacrificed while we were making blood-stained dollars. "Lest we forget," let us remember that Great Britain, France and Italy have to live in Europe next to the "danger of the Future." Is it not probable that we would do better to defer to their experience, judgment, instinct and intuition in some degree at least? THE PEACE CONFERENCE AND THE AMERICAN NEGRO. It is amusing to hear well-meaning people insist that America's attitude toward colored people is a "domestic issue" and not one for the Peace Table. In this they are sadly mistaken. We heard the speech of Secretary J. W. Johnson, of the N. A. A. C. P., at Carnegie Hall, N.Y. City, Jan. 6, 1919, and we approve of all he said save the contention that the American Negro must not look to the Peace Table for relief but must get it at Washington, D. C. He makes the same mistake that men of a different temper from him make. The Peace Table will attempt to arrange a program of world government that will meet conditions everywhere. When the principles of this world government are violated, this League of Nations, will seek to compel the guilty nation to retract and carry out the provisions, or suffer the heavy hand of a united world against it. The attitude of nations toward their colonies must be determined in accordance to the provisions of this league. The attitude of every nation towards its citizenry, whether that nation be a democracy or a monarchy, must accord with the decisions of this Peace Table. If then America is able, under the present Administration, to have the Powers concede that her problem of treating her peoples whether in the U. S. proper or her dependencies, is a domestic problem to be solved by America alone, it will be equally fair for every Power to ask the same thing. If so, the colonies of Belgium, Germany and other nations cannot be touched, for they are a part of the domestic province of the nation to whom they may belong. If this is upheld at the Peace Table, this war has been fought in vain and our supreme sacrifices are vain. The Peace Table, if it would be effective in giving self-determination in government to all peoples, must take into consideration every country where a problem of disturbing conditions exist. Not only must small nations, living under their own autonomy, be protected from the powerful and brutal nations but peoples within different nations that have been made to suffer so that every law of justice has been violated, every right of life, liberty and happiness destroyed and every right, to say who shall govern them or what the government is be denied, must also be considered. The fair and square settlement of the Irish question, so far as Great Britain is concerned, must be settled on lines laid down, and Great Britain must follow those lines or the nations of the world will settle it for the world. The same will settle this question justly. The danger to the Negro lies in the fact that the southern point of view, will be put forward at the peace table and not the point of view of the real square American. The old fight of state rights versus federal control will assert itself when we (by ourselves) attempt to settle this as a purely domestic problem. The south is now asking that it be left to settle this problem which, if done, means degradation and barbarism for both races. The constitution as interpreted prevents the federal government from interposing for the protection of any American citizen within a state even if that state itself destroys him. The unfair balance that the south holds in the government by reason of its fraudulent representation in the electoral college as well as in the congress, gives it a dominating influence. As in the days of slavery will it be now, if this army is settled domestically an appeal to arms will be held. It is better for the nations of the world to take a hand to secure for all races a fair treatment in America as well as in Germany. Delegates to the Peace Conference should be informed of America's attitude toward the Negro as well as toward other darker races. The south THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 25. which is governing America, is as damnable autocracy as ever Germany was. Its policy toward the colored race is as revolting as was that of King Leopold toward the African colonies of Belgium. Every suffering people of the world is seeking to have its problem seen and solved or the lines of solution laid down at this Peace Conference. Why the Negro should refrain from having his considered along with the others, to me is incredible. Not only should the problem be considered there before the representatives of the world but at home a vigorous and effective propaganda should be inaugurated to carry out the essence of a real democracy here. Bring influence to bear at Versailles to have the rations consider the Negro in America and fix for him as well as other people a safe home and the right to self-determination in government. The wisest men we have should go to France. This is very necessary since America, which is such a culprit in this matter of ill-treatment her peoples, is trying to lead there. (Roy) Wm. A. Bury. In Memory of Our Dear Sister MINNIE BALL PIERCE who passed away, Jan. 22, 1918. Mesdames Edwina Seelig and Edna Parker. Additional Locals This message was received at the federal civil service commission office here, last week: "Eighteen hundred unskilled laborers wanted at Camp Knox, Stitthon, Ky., wages 35 cents an hour, barracks free, transportation free, meals 35 cents each." Federal civil service headquarters in Washington sent out this appeal. The work is outside construction. Applications will be taken today at civil service headquarters in the Federal Building. An examination for letter carriers will be held at the Federal building, Feb. 15. More than 150 are needed in Cleveland, Secretary of C.E. Mottel of the civil service commission said. Examination being held every six weeks in consequence of the shortage. Applicants must have a common school education. In our opinion, the signs of Negro progress were never so unfavorable as they are today. The Negroes are enjoying better opportunities by far than they had heretofore. They are throwing them away. There can be no real freedom without economic freedom. The Negroes have been earning and are still earning, when they work, tremendous wages. They are flinging their money to the birds. The white employer stands by and watches their childlike prodigality with a kind of grim satisfaction, knowing that when Negro's hundred or thousand dollars has been wasted he will re-enter to work. Every day of idleness is a loss to the man and to the community of $2.50 or more—Columbia (S. C.) (daily). The following Afro-American units have been assigned for early convoy from France to this country: 367th Infantry, "Buffaloes," part of the 92d Division, headquarters and first battalion, 40 officers and 1,236 men; headquarters company and 1,236 men; headquarters third battalion, 49 officers and 1,315 men; 369th Infantry (former 15th New York Regiment), headquarters supply company, second battalion and sanitary detachment, 56 officers and 1,202 men; 370th Infantry (former 8th Illinois Regiment), headquarters, second and third battalions, medical detachment, 68 officers and 1,555 men; 372d Infantry (including District of Columbia battalion etc.), second and second battalion, 65 officers and 1,855 men; medical detachment and second battalion complete, 22 officers and 683 men. Henry Streets, papper hanger and drum major, appears in the ball-bonding limelight as running a close second to "Master Bondman" Herman Kohen. Records reveal he has signed in the past eleven months bonds for 46 persons charged with crimes ranging from contempt of court to robbery and shooting to kill. The 46 bonds total more than $28,000. Streets, as boss bondman, friends, as he calls them, are proverbially lucky, for of the 46 cases only one resulted in conviction and that only a thirty-day term on a misdemeanor charge. Further investigation shows that Streets is not listed on the tax duplicate in County Auditor Zangerle's office as a property owner in the city. In signing every bond Streets gave his address for the property lien as 2201 E. 325 St. but an investigation found that the address is owned by James Wilson, an expressman, and that Streets is a roomer there. The services at St. James. A. M. E. church were largely attended, Sunday. The pastor, Rev. O. W. Childers, spoke in the morning on the subject, "Christians, Defenders of the Gospel," and in the evening on "Some Unnecessary Things in Religion." In the afternoon Major W. T. Anderson accompanied the pastor to Collinwood and spoke to a scllid gathering at the mission. The Sunday school had a fine attendance also. A new orchestra, led by Mr. Martin Farmer, added much to the interest. Mrs. Gladys Harris was elected president of Allen League. The Adams-Ramey Men's Guild will meet to elect officers, Sunday afternoon. Prof. C. H. Johnson delivered a fine lecture to a good house, Monday evening. He please, please, please, give him one best. Mrs. Sada Anderson and Mrs. Childers organized a junior M. M. society, Tuesday evening. This gives the church three M. M. societies. This is composed of young ladies from 16 to 22 years. The Mothers and Home-Makers Guild held a "Bake Sale", Saturday, at Mrs. W. H. Farris. The choir under the direction of Miss Arlie Payne, is developing rapidly. They have added several voices.

W._ Flemting and Sydney B. Thompson, foreman in the street department, attended the state Republican legiskitive caucus in Co: lumbus and were greatly instrumental in the appointment of Sanford W. Evans of Washington C. H. as en: grossing clerk in the senate, and John I, Fielding: of Cincinnati as engross- ing clerk in the house of representa- tives.” When it, is remembered that the delegation from this county, is Demo- cratic and that it did NOT vote for either Evans or Fielding, Republicans, it will at once be seen how “greatly instrumental” in. their appointment (election) were Syd and Tom. A= sve predieted, several weeks ago, Fielding was eleeted engrossing clerk of the Ghio House of Representatives at the request of the only Afro-American member of the State Assembly—Leg- islator Beatty of Cincinnati.

GALLIPOLIS, OHIO. Their Grand Work, Led By Attorney Charles R. Doll—"Jim-Crow" Schools Contrary to Ohio GALLIPOLIS, O.—In this city, the third white colony of the state, there has ever obtained the "jim-crow" school system with its many evils. In 1892, students were graduated from our school, but in 1903, students plotted but three high school subjects pieted but three high school subjects—physics, algebra and civil government. This camouflage at last being discontinued, the high school was discontinued. He school was the U. S. army, when a lad, was assigned admittance to the Union high school in 1884, there being no "colored" high school at that time. In 1885, W. A. Cousins was refused admittance to Union high school. Owing to such persistence on the part of our children in trying to secure a high school education, the board added two additional rooms to Lincoln elementary school and re-established an inferior high school. It survived 15 years, with only one teacher. Then to fool the people more completely, he claused Alexander and Wilbert Howell sought admittance to Gallia Academy. They were given seats in the classroom, but were otherwise ignored for two weeks by the teachers. A lawyer was secured to institute suit against the board of education. After accepting $50 as a retainer fee, he decided that there were no grounds for a suit. In 1916 the trustees of Gallia Academy offered to turn it over to the present school board, providing they would erect a modern high school building. The white paper accepted after sounding the whistle floating an $80,000 bond promise, to secure our people's support, in order to modernize Lincoln school were made. Our people supported the bond issue, thus helping to vote an additional tax upon themselves. It passed. The modern high school was erected and we have been allowed to admire it from the outside. Lincoln school remained just the same. Then when there was muttering or repairing our people, a hurried job repairing was begun. It did no satisfactory job. The professor condemning the building Somehow the board was able to ignite his decision and the building still stands. May, 1918, a petition was presented to the board praying that Lincoln school be made first-class so else permit our high school student to attend the Gallia Academy high school. This petition, like others, was ignored. Sept. 9, Principal Wilbert Howell, with seven eligible student presented themselves at the Gallia academy high school and he sought admission to the facilities at Lincoln were inquire. His request was refused. Lincoln school had done much good but he did not achieve the largest success. This was due, in part at least, to the school building a creature of politics. An obsolete, dilapidated building, in adequate in every respect for the need of the scholars, has been given us for years; also teachers, who were not always appointed without political consideration. Thus was lowered the intellectual and moral standard of the institution. No teacher can feel that he is not being educated by such chieanery. An inferior curriculum has characterized our school, since its origin, pupils graduating therefrom only to learn that their educational training was woefully deficient in every particular. These and many other things demoralized our student body of this city DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 25, 1919. REMOVING TAR FROM GAS. This Problem Has Always Presented Great Difficulty. The problem of removing all traces of tar from gas has always presented certain difficulties and from experiments recently carried out it would seem that an electrical method is likely to solve the problem. The principle introduced is similar to that used in the smelting industry for the precipitation of lead and other fumes. A specially constructed electrode, from which high tension direct current discharges emanate, is suspended in a cast iron inverted U-tube, constructed from standard eight inch pipe covered on the outside with a jacketing of felt. The arms of the U-tube are each nine feet long. The electrode consists of two cast iron disks four inches in diameter and placed five feet eight inches apart, connected by means of a light gas pipe. Fine discharge wires are stretched from disk to disk in the form of a squirrel cage. The high tension discharge has the effect of causing all the tiny particles of tar to be precipitated. RED AND GREEN LIGHT TESTS Experiments that Are Amusing as They Are Interesting. It is strange how the color of a light makes it more or less visible, irrespective of its actual brilliance. To test this place two lights of the same color—two candies of the same size will do—in two tin boxes and in each box perforate a pin hole. Cover one pin hole with green glass and one with red and place them in a perfectly dark room. To a normal person the green light will appear five times brighter when viewed obliquely than when viewed directly, but the red light behaves in the opposite way. Most people will pick up the green light when looking in some other direction and will be quite conscious of its presence, but when they turn their eyes directly to ward it they will not see it at all. The faint red light, on the other hand, will not be noticed at all until looked at directly, then it appears quite bright, but the instant the eyes are turned away from it it is gone. PAINT MACHINES WHITE Factories Brighten Fixtures to Improve Lighting That good lighting in the workshop not only facilitates the work directly, but is of the greatest indirect value because of the feeling of security and cheerfulness given the workers, is a fact that is becoming more generally recognized every day. Indirect artificial lighting has long been in used, and recently there has developed a movement for increasing the effect of daylight by means of white enamel. For this purpose a white, oil proof enamel that will not turn yellow if kept clean, is used, both the ceiling of the shop and the machines themselves being painted with this material. It is reported that remarkable results in the way of better lighting and the elimination of shadows are obtained in this way, these results being due to the fact that black absorbs the light while white reflects it with little loss.—Popular Mechanics.

It Is Never Heard on the Sea, in Statement. The Astronomical Society of France has again taken up the discussion which has been before it on several previous occasions, and that is the statement that thunder is never heard at sea. The statement was originally attributed to Baron von Humboldt and it has been frequently questioned, but those who insist that they have heard thunder at sea have also stated that the peals were not so loud as on land. A larger number of scamman have been found to agree with the scientists, although it is suggested that the other noises prevailing on shipboard during a storm may be the reason why the thunder often passes unnoticed, but information on this subject from sailors will be welcomed by the French astronomers. SUMMER AND WINTER BUTTER Color No Indication of Richness or Fat Value. Scientific experiments have demonstrated that, contrary to the general belief, the yellow color of cream and butter is not necessarily an indication of their richness. It was discovered long ago that most vegetable matter contains a yellow substance called carotin, because it exists abundantly in carrots. It is this substance contained in the cow's feed that gives rise to the color of milk and butter. Carotin is most abundant in the green forage available in spring and summer so that milk and butter produced then are more yellow than in the winter, altho the percentage of fat in winter milk often is actually higher than in the rich looking product obtained in summer. COOK WITH CURLING IRON Ft. Worth Housewives Do This When Gas Fails. When the main that supplies Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex., with natural gas was broken recently as the result of floods, housewives and cooks in those cities were left for more than a week practically without means for cooking, as few of the houses are equipped with any but gas stoves. In this emergency every heat generating device that could possibly be used was pressed into service. The most generally used devices were electric irons and curlers.-Popular Mechanics. TO QUIT TALKING ON WIRES. Old System Soon to Be Abandoned, Saves Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla, the electrical expert and pioneer in the field of wireless telegraphy and telephony, sounded the death knell of wires as a means of communication, in an address in New York last week. "The wireless telephone is the instrument of the near future," he said. "It is practical. A few mechanical details need to be improved, that is all."

OUR NEW HOME PORD COLLEGE PENDLETON AVE. ST. FERDINAND AVE. On and after February sixth, the rate for Gas Service in the City of Cleveland will be on the basis of thirty-seven cents per thousand cubic feet on all accounts paid within ten days after date of bill. For sixteen years this company has been supplying gas to domestic consumers at the rate of thirty cents. Owing to the decline of production in the field, inability to locate new fields, the increased cost of labor and materials, gas wells formerly costing from $5,-000 to $6,000 now cost from $12,-000 to $14,000, while today the average production per well is one-sixth of what it was ten years ago. At the same time, the cost of distribution in the cities and towns has more than doubled by reason of increased taxation, higher wages, and steady advances in general operating expenses.
