HARDWARE CO. CLEVELAND, O. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since The Backbone of Lawlessness The Wilson Administration, Mexico and The South—Nine Soldiers Lynch-Murdered! Special to The Gazette The violence committed by Mexico upon the persons, property and liberty of American citizens has been shocking. The course pursued by the present Administration in the light of these atrocities, has been and is unsatisfactory to the American people. Mr. Wilson's policy is in keeping with his attitude toward the south. The Administration is not at all concerned with the lynchings, murders, hangings, burnings and violent oppression heaped upon colored Americans by the Democratic party of the south. The south has driven every other party by force and ostracism out of the south. It has by unlawful combination and disregard of law, made the American citizens. Strangely enough the Americans that are being mobbed by Mexicans are chiefly those who have murdered colored people for the last fifty years. Texas is the leader in its desire to punish Mexico but Texas is also the leader in its destruction of the lives and property of colored people. White men if they seek justice for colored people in Texas are not safe and may be assaulted by judges and constables and run out of town. The Administration has left the south to itself. The South is above law. The Constitution of the federal Government is not even a "rag" there for it has been altogether destroyed. The election machinery of the south is the backbone of lawless- Dr. Willia. a. Byrd life of men unbearable who advocate justice for the colored race or contend for the protection of the Republican party or any other party that does not adopt the foolish "social system" of the south. Our own country is not taken seriously and will not be, until we establish law in the south. Mr. Wilson cannot justify himself before international law if he attacks Carranza for his brutality toward HOWARD UNIVERSITY NEWS The Record of the School of Medicine During the War—"Societe Française" Receives, Washington, D. C.-Immediately following the declaration of war in 1917, the faculty of Howard University School of Medicine tendered its services to the surgeon-general of the U. S. Army to be used in whatever capacity that would serve the government. Four members of the faculty were on draft boards. Four were contract surgeons. Nine members enlisted and over 150 of the alumni were either enlisted, service men or officers in the army. One of these officers was awarded the distinguished service medal; another was recommended for the Croix de Guerre; one made the supreme sacrifice and several were severely injured. A former student also was awarded the Croix de Guerre. A member of the faculty discovered a reliable gas detector which was used by the armies of the allies, from the frontiers to the Medical Reserve corps. The charts, models, specimens, and skeletons of the School of Medicine were loaned and used for the instruction of Red Creos units. The "Societe Française" of the University gave a "Soirée de la "Auc. Dec. 19, in honor of his excellency, M. L. Ambassador Jusserand. The reception was held in Caenegie Library on the University campus. The Ambassador found it impossible to attend on of diplomatic duties, but M. Henri was present to represent him and the French embassy. The reception was honored by the presence of M. Monravia, Minister from Haiti; the Minister from Uruguay, and a representative of the Ecuador Legation. In the absence of the President of the University, Ex-Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, president of the board of trustees, welcomed the gentlemen. THOMAS STILL FIGHTING For the Race—Appears Before House Judicary Committee Washington, D. C.—Congress has turned a deaf car to the fool proposal to have the Government acquire a state in Mexico and turn it over to Afro-Americans. A lively tilt between race advocates and opponents of the segregation plan took place, last week Thursday, before the House American citizens, Strangely enough the Americans that are being mobbed by Mexicans are chiefly those who have murdered colored people for the 'last fifty years. Texas is the leader in its desire to punish Mexico but Texas is also the leader in its destruction of the lives and property of colored people. White men if they seek justice for colored people in Texas are not safe and may be assaulted by judges and consoles and run out of town. The Administration has left the south to itself. The South is above law. The Constitution of the federal Government is not even a "raq" there for it has been altogether destroyed. The election machinery of the south is the backbone of lawlessness in America. The continued allowance of this violence at the hands of Mexico is a just retribution for the vicious assaults of southern whites upon colored people. Mexico is not hostile toward colored people but it is toward that arrogant and lawless white southerner that depends upon force to enable him to do as he pleases. This Administration would have to demand a change in the policy of the south before it could ask Carranza to change his policy. There may be something good in this allowing the south to reap what it is sowing daily in the fields of innocent people. Negro soldiers local and loyal members of that menace America but if Negro soldiers could protect America and leave the south to the Hun whether it is the German Hun or Mexican Hun, he would do so. If the Negro soldier could protect every other portion of America and allow some strong just hand to go down in "Dixie" and wipe out the savages that disgrace the whole nation, the majority of them would sit by and see the fur fly. This strange attitude on the part of Negroes is due to the policy of brutality the south shows toward colored people and especially colored soldiers. Nine colored soldiers have been murdered by white thugs and savages and there is no more America to save the men from the negro upon them giving what they receive, to stop this. The Administration is wrong. It should force the south to obey the constitution here and then send a united and loving people down to clean up the Mexican hole. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Judiciary Committee. "Beware of any Negro who comes to you with any segregation scheme," Prof. Neval H. Thomas, history teacher at our Dunbar High school and representative of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, warned the committee. "He has some pet plan he wants to put over. Will we leave this country? No, never!" he shouted. Prof. Thomas told the committee that intelligent and loyal Afro-Americans would oppose to the visit any segregation scheme. Demands were over the theaters he be thrown up to Negroes. "I have to go to New York to get that cultural training the theater affords," Prof. Thomas said. "House and Senate restaurants in the capitol building must be open to both Negroes and whites," he added. Rev. M. M. Madden, who is advocating the segregation colonization (separate state) plan, is a St. Louis, sto. Negro we hope to ship back there at an early date. He is of the "jim-crow" type. That is clear to be seen. House committee which has under consideration the Mason resolution providing for an investigation of mob violence (lynching) in this country, took no action on the measure. It was indicated that no further consideration would be given the proposal. We shall see! Opens the Eyes of All! Ivanhoe, Pa., Jan. 18, 1920 Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir and Old Friend—How are you?

It is so much pleasanter, [Name] THE PORO CELEBRATION On "Parents' Day" Will Long be Re- membered by All the Par- ticipants St. Louis, Mo.-Jan. 8, was a day long to be remembered by all members of the PORO family. It had occurred to Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone to make the second Thursday of January "Parents' Day," this being the first celebration. All employees were privileged to invite their parents, if their parents were living; if not, to invite the one who vouched for them when they entered the employ of the PORO College. This was the last hour that wiphed away a star from the eyes of employees, for even Mr. and Mrs. Malone availed themselves of this opportunity and brot hoary-headed friends who had served as parents to them in advice and counsel. From a stage profusely decorated with warm red blossoms for the living parents and the tender pale blue and white flowers for the deceased, a splendid program was rendered. Members of the city clergy were in large numbers (they having vouched for many of the young people at the College). The employees were seated on one side of the auditorium, wearing red ribbons for both living parents, blue for deceased father, and white for deceased mother. The other members of the delightful family was served the parents, under the direction of Mr. Wilfred Lewis, steward of PORO COLLEGE, and the employees were given an opportunity to come to the dining room and view their parents as they were Mrs. A. F. Malone partaking of the dinner. Many surprises were given. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody, of Spear, Ill., (the latter Mrs. Malone's sister, who largely reared her) were secretly brot to the city as a surprise to Mrs. Malone, as also was the mother of Mr. Lewis. It was a day of rejoicing, mingled with sorrow. Here and there could be seen the single and double hadge of metranning and all during the day employees were grave in that of parents no longer with them in flesh. The day did so much to me, and I was able to direct into the home life of their employees and bring the thing, that is missing, to help strengthen that life. From now on all of the "PORO FAMILY" will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Malone not alone as their employers but as their big parents, for advice—for help—for strength to bear bravely the burdens of this life, and here I am to help at PORO COLLEGE and "Parents Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion, yearly, at this the greatest of our institutions, of the kind.

Trotter tion, of recreation and amusement for the public, without restriction, for the race was declared to be the determined and legitimate aim of colored Americans. This was in accord with the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the federal constitution and President Wilson's world war aim declarations. For the 3rd generation, since emancipation, the race has been performing the duties of citizenship declared the speaker, and when citizens are required to perform all the duties of citizenship without exceptions for race, then they are entitled to enjoy all the rights of citizenship without distinction or differentiation because of race. Secretary Trotter told how the National Rights League began the recent effort to have interstate "jim-crow" abolished by an amendment to the Railroad bill on Nov. 11th, 1919, when the league petitioned every northern member of House of Representatives. "THE LEAK OF NOTIONS" Editor Gray of the Waxahachie .(Tex.) Meddler on it and President Gregg of Hampton Editor Harry C. Smith--Don't you get the idea that I ever miss reading everything in "The Old Reliable" (editorials, locals, advertisements and all the rest), every time I get it. Only four other race papers concede me regular exchange visits, so you see I am by no means all cluttered up with much current race periodical literature. I heartily approve and endorse the appraisement of Dr. Gregg's aspersions of opponents of the infamous League of Nations, you gauged them at in The Gazette of Dec. 27th ultimo, only if I had had the assignment I would have conformed to the Latin maxim—"de mortis nihil nisi bonum." I wonder if college presidents subscribe to a solemn catholic to attend strictly to their official duties, and whether they conform other matters with the latitude and personal responsibility they themselves are under in such cases made and provided? The mere fact that proponents of the League of Nations not infrequently give way to vulgar insolence and reel yards and yards of fallacious nonsequiters is proof enough, if there were no other, that the league, if consummated, will not function with other than brute violence.

The participants in the program which was fine were: Louia V. Jones, violinist; Mrs. Rachel W. Turner, (prima dona), soprano soloist; Mrs. Ruby Y. Slaughter, popular lyric soprano; Mrs. Eugene B. Mayo, mezzo soprano; Mrs. Dangerfield and Miss Curry, soprano; Mrs. Mabelle C. Biggs, pianist (accompanist). Mr. Jones' solo was a Negro chant, transcribed by Clarence C. White, the talented violin soloist and teacher of Boston, well known in this city, where he has concerted many times, and when he'a student at Oberlin conservatory of music. The transcription, an artistic piece of work, was beautifully played by Mr. Jones. The terpsichorean phase of the evening's entertainment followed the concert and was featured by a prize waltz, two-step and jazz fox trot which were very entertaining closely contoured and vivacious were rewarded. Miss Irvin Burket and Mr. Reward, Miss Irvin Burket and Mr. H. Dent, Miss Doss and Mr. Scott. The attendance was large and many beautiful gowns were in evidence. Geo. Early and quartette furnished the cabaret, and a delicious lunch was served. Howard's orchestra of Columbus furnished excellent music for the ball which was witnessed by 600 members of the C. A. C. and attended by about 200 waiters, bell-boys, porters, their wives, sweethearts and friends in full dress and evening gowns. It was certainly the most spectacular affair of the season. "Silent!" Tom Fleming - must have had the "lockjaw" again, last week Monday, evening, when councilmen from several wards were fighting for better street car service on the Woodland and Kinsman lines. On either of these lines at least twice as good service is given as the Central Ave. car-riders get. Any day one can stand on Champlain Ave. and see two and often three (each Woodland and Buckeye Rd. cars pass to every one Central Ave. car. Last Tuesday evening the writer, Landing on that avenue at W. 3rd St., saw four Woodland and five "Buckeye" street-cars pass before a "Central" came along. And this (Central Ave.) is the worst street-car service in the city; notoriously so. Yet Councilman Tom "Silent" sat in his seat and never did he say, according to the daily newspapers of last Tuesday. The business men, and others up Central Ave. ought to call public meetings and protest against the miserable service and cars they are given. It amounts almost to an outrage. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 24, 1920. WORKED FOR HOURS BEFORE THEIR PRESENCE IN WALL ST. BUILDING WAS DISCOVERED. NEW YORK, N. Y.—For the first time in many years yagmen challenged the wrath of the New York police recently to the extent of disregarding the dead line established by the late Inspector Byrnes, and coply forced two safes in a building on Wall Street. That part of the city below Fulton Street has long been considered immune from safe blowers and others of the criminal night workers, for, by the edict of Inspector Byrnes, any person known to have a criminal record exposed himself to sudden death by simply being found in that section after a certain hour of the evening. Perhaps the very fact that no one would expect burglaries to attempt a night raid, Wall Street was not arted perpetrators of the crime to make their dating attack. This theory would seem to be borne out by the fact that the five men who participated in the burglary worked leisurely, without apparently fearing to be interrupted. Their presence in the building was discovered in the early morning hours by Mrs. Jane Heffernan, a scrubwoman, who arrived to clean the offices. She was at work on the fourth floor when she heard a noise below her. Going quietly down the third floor, she found that the sound were coming from the office of Harold Heffernan. Heffernan stepped into an adjoining office, and through the keyhole, looked to upon five men working at Mr. Gordon's safe. One of the burglar's was calmly smoking a cigar. Leaving the office, Mrs. Hefferman ran downstairs, dashed across the street, and told her story to a watchman stationed in the building opposite. Then, while he telephoned to the nearest police station, Mrs. Hefferman went back to keep watch upon the yegmen. She had no sooner stepped within the building, however, than the five men rushed down the stairs and felled her. She was so stunned by their blows that she could not be able to follow them as they ran into the street, and the watchman, being at a telephone in the middle of the building across the way, did not observe their flight. When the police arrived the street was deserted. It is believed that one member of the gang hid in the building before it was locked for the night, and that he later opened the outside door for the others. The offices, it is thought, were entered by the use of skeleton keys. The yeggmen left a complete set of keys in the office. Besides forcing one of the broker's safes, the opened a safe in another office on the same floor. THE FIRST CABLE NANAMMO, B. C.—The death of Will F. Archibald, who handled the first cable message ever sent across the Atlantic, addressed by Queen Victoria to the President of the United States, has given occasion to the revivification of the story of the laying of the first cable. A man with a great heart had dreamed of linking the Old World with the New, by a thread of wire dropped to the bed of the ocean. Through many a day and night of work and preservance and patience his vision had been wrought out. At last the mystic cable was made and stretched from side to side of the ocean. Men on one continent stood at the cable's eastern end and held converse with men in the western world. It was wonderful', beyond hellet. But something had happened. One day the operator ticked his message under the sea and there was no response. No answering click came back out of the ocean caves. The man at the key leaned back on his chair, for it was powerless. The table had been broken somewhere in mid-ocean. The story of the search for the place where the cable had parted and the tale of the long-continued efforts to bring the severed ends together form one of the most thrilling chapters ever written in the book of human endeavor. But at last the seemingly impossible was accomplished. Up out of the depths of the ocean, by the aid of grappling hooks, the broken strands were lifted and carefully welded together once more. Again the cable was dropped back to the water at the bottom of the ocean. Now the electric spark flashed into the water on the American side awoke a corresponding spark away on the coast of England. Once more the cable was alive. Link touching link, the whole chain throbs with power! PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—When a policeman arrested Charles Clark on charge of begging, he was greatly surprised when the prisoner flashed several diamond rings, a diamond stick-pin and a fine gold watch before his eyes and calmly announced that all had been paid for out of a very profitable sidewalk business. The prisoner asserted that he "made more money out of panhandling" than he could hope to make at "southern professional occupation", getting from $100 to $125 a day. "But, say, Magistrate," he contided, "business has been hum of fate. Why, a man's lucky nowadays if he can pull in $10 a day!" "You work too hard. You need a rest. Thirty days in the House of Correction," said the Magistrate, as he called the next case. "Right here's where I begin me summer vacation," cheerfully commented the side walk financier. "Well, the dull days is here and Holmesburg's a fine suburban retreat to retire to for reflection as well as rest, and besides I can take account of stock and see where I stand," said the philosophic Clark, as he was led away.
