Special to The Gazette
Washington, D. C.—Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who recently ordered a book on Bolshavism removed from Howard University library, and the Dunbar High School closed to Messers Randolph and Owen, the scholarly editors of the Messenger, at which meeting Prof. Neval H. Thomas was to preside, preferred charges against Mr. Thomas because declared his intention to teach with the Wesley church to speak and conduct the meeting. He alleged that Mr. Thomas' continued protests against wrongs in our system "unfit him for teaching Negro youth." Mr. Thomas defied the senator and presided. The public rebuked the persecution most emphatically. Social clubs and many other meetings adjourned for the evening to attend the meeting which Mr. Thomas promised to lead in introductory remarks, Mr. Thomas said, amid tremendous applause:
"If Senator Reed Smoot would read he could see the 'hand writing on the wall' which spells the doom of autocracy he seeks to uphold, that persecution only makes converts to the cause it seeks to crush, and that closing schools to truth and libraries to books does not take the hatred of oppression from the hearts of men. If the Negro assassin who carried the hatred of the Negro himself 'him report the meeting tomorrow and give the Senator my compliments."
There was deafening applause in the audience so that he could not continue for some time. He declared that he would rather be out of the system than be a slave in it.
Senator Smoot is on the civil service committee of the senate, yet not one word has he ever uttered about the vicious abuses these where color and not merit is the basis of appointment and promotion. He is one of

She was the oldest person in this section of the state and lived alone. She was born in Virginia, but was spirited by her mother into Pennsylvania so that she would escape slavery. She married an ex-slave later, however, and came to Warren seventy-five years ago. Two sons survive her.

The senate restaurant has just recently been closed to colored, people as a reward for their brave fighting for democracy. A thousand other wrongs which the senate has done in the notice. He is over active, however, in suppressing those colored men who dare to be dissatisfied with autoe-rcy.
Prof. Thomas has given some persons a good deal of trouble this year. Only last week he appeared before the judiciary committee of the House and told of the discriminations that Congress was tolerating, even the exclusion of the colored public from their own restaurants in the capitol building. He was also criticized by the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice on race issues, hence he is not a "loyal colored man." The colored people and a good many of the whites are determined to stand by him in this last assault, and allow the old Negro reactionaries whom he has attacked to continue in their course.
The question having been raised, regarding the propriety of Prof. Thomas' participation in the meeting, the matter was laid before Dr. John Van Schatak, president of the board of education. He said:
"I do not believe the board has a right to dictate to a teacher regarding his or her personal activities outside school hours, school buildings or school affairs, so long as these activities are not immoral. I have not seen accounts of the meeting in the morning papers, but from what has just been told me, it seems that in the circumstances the board can do nothing, as the meeting was not held in a of school building."

JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL
Defended By a Well-known Washing
ton, D. C. Correspondent of
Race Papers.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20, '20. My dear Mr. Smith, "In your issue of Jan. 17, 1920, prominence was given to an article directed against Judge Robert H. Terrell of this city, under the caption, "A Racial Liability," by Neval H. Thomas. Judge Terrell's connection with the defunct Capital Savings bank is used against him. This matter was thoroughly investigated by Congress when Judge Terrell name first came up for confirmation, and the printed reports of Congress have published to the world the fact that he was exonerated of the faintest shadow of misconduct. He was appointed that Judge Terrell paid the last dollar of his obligations, voluntarily, and at a loss to himself. One item alone-amounted to $2500, which was advanced to cover endorsements of other people, and of which the Judge never received a single dollar in return, as the records of Congress will show. Judge Terrell does not agitate. His methods are characterized by a dignity that shuns the line-light. As to the other charges, Mr. Thomas seems to fail to recognize that certain ethics and department are inappropriate from the dignity of the judge. The congressional organization of this republic is divided into three (3) distinct branches—legislative, executive and judicial—and every official must keep within the limitations of his particular Judge Terrell belongs to the judicial branch, and therefore must keep within the function of the interpretation of the law. Judge Terrell has always so conducted his public actions upon to administer. These are reasons with the face of the success in the enthusiastic approval of his own race and the respect of all races. Judge Terrell has ever been a conscientious worker for the advancement and well-being of his race, but too wise and far-scoring to attempt measures obviously certain to be ineffective. Whoever heard a judge lobbying in Congress? Yet there are those who would have him do it. If Judge Terrell were merely the tool of white men, they would use him as such—which they do not. They would put and tolerate him, but not respect him. The fact is they do respect him because they cannot help it, and as for his high place in the esteem and affection of his own race, it is too well-known to justify space. Few living men, indeed, have done more by far-reaching and effective methods, to promote the well-being of the race than he. His influence and efforts are always at the command of the race in all projects where effective results are possible. He has secured positions for greater numbers of his race than any other man in local public life. These facts are well known in the case of Sir Sturton.

Would Ruin Our Newspapers and Stop Those Fighting for the Race's Rights and
The federal administration through its department of justice (?) has been attempting to connect colored people with "Redism" in this country. It has succeeded in making some people believe that colored people are attempting to help overthrow this government. No one in the Department of Justice really believes this, but here is an insidious attempt to lay hands on the colored men who are fighting, not against the government and against the southern machine that is again attempting to enslave colored people. Because colored men everywhere are fighting against "southern diabolism" the present administration is seeking to divert public attention from the lawlessness of the south and fix it upon colored people whom they are branding as "reds." The sedition bill aims at crushing every colored man of manhood who fights the southern regime, as to continue the reign of terror among ignorant and helpless colored men of the south and frighten them into submission to the will of southern legislation every colored newspaper that Burleson thinks is hurting the warren of business in the south will be put out of business. Every outspoken colored man will be watched and hounded by the southern crackers, in this Department of Injustice, and upon the least provocation he will be thrown into prison and made to suffer as a warning to others. In spite of all bills that may be passed and in spite of all of the "worse than reds" in that Department of Justice, colored men possessing manhood are going to speak their minds about this government which they fought against, while they are loyal. No decent colored man is loyal to the present administration which is "jim-crowning" colored people at every hand. No self-respecting colored man will lend his support to a southern regime which happens now to have hold of the federal government. This wicked and incompetent horde of Negro-haters will scruple at nothing to humiliate decent colored people. The fact that they are lynching, whenever they please, any colored man they desire and nothing is being done
NEW TRIAL FOR ELAINE RIOTERS
Slays of Execution Granted and Cases
Up to Survival Defense - Defense
Fund Opened
Little Rock, Ark.—Several days ago, leading Negroes from all parts of the state assembled here and organized the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION: Dr. J. G. Thornton chair; J. H. McConico, see; Dr. H. W. Suggs, treas; Rev. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver. The object of the commission is to raise funds to conduct the defense of the 87 Negroes "convicted" in connection with the recent race trouble in Phillips county, Ark. which are well established citizens of wide acquaintance and represent the very highest type of spiritual, professional and business activity. Twelve of the Negroes "convicted" in connection with the Phillips county trouble have been sentenced to die and 75 to serve sentences in the penitentiary ranging from five to twenty-one years. Negroes throughout the state and nation feel that they should be given full opportunity to prove their innocence, and counsel have been employed in the fight against the motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a new trial. It was overruled. On Jan. 9 an appeal was taken to the Supreme court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these men in the state and federal courts. To fight these cases will require a large sum of money, and the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION is now calling upon Negroes to contribute to this fund. In this matter the race must act, and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds.

Five of the Negroes were to have been electrocuted January 27, and the date for the execution of the seven others was fixed for February 2. Gov.

about it, is prima facie evidence that the south is carrying out the wishes of those of the Department of Justice that want to crush manhood in colored people for political gains. The Department of Justice can seek out every red that may speak red, or send a bomb to some federal or make a speech that amputates "friends of the south" not to send bombs but death to as many colored citizens as they choose, and for their dastardly meanness this bill gives them not only immunity but encouragement. The Department of Justice knows all about the lynching of colored men but they are powerless because of states' rights to act, but it can go into any state without regard to state rights and pound upon any one that opposes their injustice. There will be no let until this incubus and travesty on decent government is enacted. Americans are like their places. We are to the United States and we will give our ALL to protect it but can render now is to drive into private life the misrepresentatives of American government that are now in power. We know our rights and will exercise them. Thinking colored people everywhere and other sedition bills. Mr. Gompers has done the nation a service by exposing the attempt in this bill to prevent organizing colored people. The south has stained the proceeds of Negro so long till it is ready to die before it will give it up. It must die then because the strangle-hold it has upon Negro labor will be loosed. Before this bill becomes a law it should be understood that it will not interfere with any rights of any American citizens and neither shall it be used as a blind to strengthen the hands of a party that protects lynching in order to hold its sway. The hypocritical claims that this bill will break the test of investigation. If Negroes had laid down in the Washington and Chicago race riots, they would not have been mentioned. We shall never lie down.

DUNBAR LITERARY SOCIETY
Resolutions Relative to Central Ave. Street Car Service.
At a meeting of the Dunbar Literary Society, Jan. 20, '20, at Shiloh Baptist church, E. 30th St., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered published:
RESOLUTIONS
Whereens, the poor service and cars of the Central Ave. Street-Car line of the Cleveland Electric Railway has made efforts to travel or that line almost unbearable, and.
Whereens, the running schedules of many of the car-lines of the city have been materially improved in recent months while the service on the Central Ave. line seems to be growing worse than it was.
Resolved, that we, citizens of Cleveland, members of the Dunbar Literary Society of Shiloh Baptist church and friends, 100 per cent Americans, patrons of the Central Ave. Street-Car line, protest against its miserably poor service and cars we are forced to use and urge the proper authorities to remedy the condition complained of at once. Be it further.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Dunbar Literary Society, a copy sent to our headquarters, the Gazette and the local daily paper.

EDITORS BID NOT Do IT
‘Republican, editors having made
some comment on ithe course of the
President and the Attorney General
in compromising with men who had
been classed as-“criminals’’ in the coal
trike ease, several Democratic edi-
tort have sought to ereate prejudice
by secusing the Republicans of call-
ing the coal miners “criminals.” But
it was the President and the Attorney
General who did’ the classifying—not
the Republican editors. ‘The Presi-
dent denounced the strike as not
merely unjustifiable but “uolawful.”
Attorney General Palmer asserted
that the acts came within the exim-
inal law- but explained that he pre-
ferred to proceed in the civil courts in
‘a suit for injunction. We do not knew
‘of any Republican editor who has as-
~seried that the miners were criminals.
Many have called attention to the fact
that the Pre®dent compromised with
men whom he had already denounced
as criminals, and then praised them
for their “patriotism.” If the Presi-
dent found that he was in error in de-
nouncing the miners as criminals, he
could have apologized. If he was not
in error, he should not have compro-
mised. If the men were in fact crim-
inals, how could he commend them for
“patriotism” when they ceased be-
ing criminals in consideration ‘of the
terms he -made with them? And if
he felt that he must praise them as
patriotic, after they had been on a
strike for two months, he should at
least have said one good word in com-
mendation of the men who didn’t
strike, if

NO CHANGE AT WILBERFORCE
That is good news. Representative
Beetham sends The Gazette thru its
Gadiz representative-—“there is to be
ho change at Wilberforce.” This is
the decision of the joint committee of
the Ohio senate and house of repre-
sentatives that made the investiga-
tion recently and it is a very proper
one. Its members were quick to See
that all the “hullabaloo” kicked up in
race newspapers by Ohio “junkers”
(Negroes) was the result of petty
jealousy and spite work. If condi-
tions at the university needed atten-
tion there was a better way to go
about securing it than appealing to
the Ohio legislature. This Represen-
tative Beaty should have recognized
and told tho same trouble-makers,
“junkers,” that induced him (rather
forced-him, so he wrote The Gazette)
to introduce the unnecessary and in-
imieal Beaty bill intended to amend
our Ohio Civil Rights law and practi-
cally ruin it. He should have refused
to listen to them on both occasions
and saved himself and thg race from
some very. unpleasant. experiences
that are not-going to prove helpful
if not very harmful.

LONDON, England—The — extra-
ordinary ‘Value of wireless. telephony
for directional’ pirposes in connec
‘tion with aircraft has’ been empha
‘sized recently in its relation to night
flying. Tt often happens that in day-
light " intercommanication between
planes, or between wireless stations
and aircrait ix unnecessary, but in
flying across country at night the
use of the wireless phone will be-
come more and mare efficacious.
Some details are now available of
a test carried out during a recent
night flight from Kenley to Paris.
‘This in no way constitutes a record,
but is nevertheless interesting as in-
dicating what is being’ done as a
matter of routine. Wireless tcle-
phony has now been definitely adopt-
ed as a means of ground to air com.
munication and vice versa, on the
London-Paris- route, and the test in
question was mado with one of the
first. machines on this seevice fitted
for the purpose.»
Cominunication was opened as
soon as the Handley Page bad ob-
tained height and, after spexking to
the ground station, the receiver’ was
turned in and speveh was very. clear-
ly heard from Kenley. he officer
conducting the test emphasizes in
his report, ‘speech, quality, and
strength, and states’ that he easily
recognized the voice as that-of an of-
ficer known to him. ‘To a distance
of about 25° imiles ‘the strength of

On the return journey conversation
between the macitine and Marquise

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 unatisfactory to the American people. Mr. Nelson's policy is in keeping with his attitude toward the south. The Administration is not at all concerned with the Nynchon revoltings, 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

The 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

Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from one of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162. 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any juror him, until such children of legal age were bracted to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 8) Section 6282. The person suffering from

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 aw. 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 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 policy, but it is worse. It is sowing daily in the fields of humiliated people. Negro soldiers are loyal and will fight any nation that menaces 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 situation is not a result of the policy 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 yet there is no power in America, save the turning of the Negro upon them and 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.

(93 v 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)
