MEDINA.—A cutting affray took place on the home of James Mattison, resulting in serious injuries to Peter Anderson, the victim, and the binding over to the grand jury of Gus Smallwood on a charge of cutting to wound, the bond being fixed at $500. Part of Anderson's left ear was severed and a gash cut along the side of his face nearly to the mouth, the wound requiring fourteen stitches. The trouble was the culmination of a wrangle between Anderson's wife, Anna, and Mattison's wife, Eanna, over the division of church subscriptions.

Government Probe Election Riots. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Federal district attorney for Florida has been instructed by the department of justice to investigate election riots and lynch-murders at Ocoee, FI., last month, to determine whether any federal statutes have been violated. The Noted Afro-Cuban Violinist Died in Paris. HAVANA, Cuba.—"La Antorcha" has just published a grand tribute to Cuba's immortal violinist, Jose Silvestre White Laffite. Calcagno's Biographical Dictionary, New York City, says of him: "Jose White, the name by which he was universally known, was born in Matanzas, Cuba, Jan. 17, 1836 of poor parentage. At the age of nineteen he could play sixteen different instruments. After showing his home folks what he could do in a concert with Gottachkul, he left for France in 1856 from which time, until his recent death in Paris, he ranked among the master musicians of the world. "The brown of skin he won undying fame as a violinist and in the city of Matanzas, left a never to die loving esteem and a comforting legacy in lands and houses." "Jose White" was, too, well-known in America as a violinist soloist, twenty and more years ago. Likewise, Jose Brindis de Salas. APPOINTED ATTORNEY GENERAL The British West Indies Again Honored With a First-Class Appointment KINGSTON, Jamaica, B., W. L.—Lord Milner, secretary of state for the colonies, has appointed the Hon. Rector A. Josephs, B. A., LL. B., K. C. assistant attorney-general of Jamaica, to act as attorney-general of British Guiana for two years, and the appointment will probably be made a permanent one at the expiration of this period. Mr. Josephs was educated at York Castle, and at Cambridge and London Universities. Winning the Jamaica scholarship in 1891, in the same year he entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge. At Cambridge he had a distinguished career, capturing several prizes in law, At London University the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn called him to the English Bar in 1895. On several occasions he acted as attorney-general of Jamaica. He was president of the Kingston's Citizens Association; member of the Schools Commission; D. G. R. of Masons. He is an adjunct of the Jamaica Reserve regiment, and a member of the Royal Jamaica Yacht club. Not only the colored people of the island, but all Jamaica is proud of Hector Josephs. Many competent to judge say he is the most brilliant lawyer of the West Indies since Sir Conrad Reeves, our first attorney-general of this island). 2 Prof. W. S. Scarborough. WILERFORCE, O.-Dr. W. S. Scarborough will leave for John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., Dec. 26, to attend the annual meeting of the American Philological and the American Archaeological Associations of which he is a member. He will return Jan. 1, to attend the inauguration of the governor and on the 60th will return to New York City. He will attend a dinner at the New York Hotel, given under the auspices of the American College Association. He is also a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and its Affiliated Societies whose annual dinner will be clubed. N. Y. City, Dec. 20. Dr. Scarborough, former president of Wilberforce University, is a member of 15 learned societies in this country and in Europe, and votes annually on the personnel of the instructors of schools at Rome, Italy, Athens, Greece and Jerusalem under the direction of the American Archaeological Institute. CORNELIUS McDOUGALD, ESQ. Former Assistant District Attorney Slaps an Assemblyman's Face— Does a Good Job, Too. NEW YORK CITY.—Counsellor C. McDougald, who was a deputy assistant district attorney of New York City, several years ago, entered the county clerk's office, recently, and was accosted by an ex-assemblyman (white) who apparently had more mouth and "brass" than sense. In a very nasty manner, said assemblyman, who was very sore over his defeat, Nov. 2, 2010, is alleged to have said to Mr. McDougald: "Why didn't you get your people out to vote for me on election day?" To this the attorney replied: "I did everything I could to defeat you." Then the assemblyman is said to have shouted, in rage: "Yes, you and the other 'niggers' defeated me." Then it happened! McDougald did the proper thing—whaled away and gave the "windy" one a step in the mouth that he will remember until his last day. That nasty insult and word was too much for Cornellius W. McDougald. Esq. as it should for ALL of us. More power to him and his manly kind of Afro-Americans. In size and appearance, we understand. McDougald is just what his names suggests—almost a perfect specimen of vigorous manhood. Afro-American Orators. We were pleased to note that Mr. F. E. Corbie, a colored freshman in the College of the City of New York, won the Board of Trustees' Prize, the highest award in the orations contest and that he is also the captain of the Freshman debating team. Mr. Corbie has but maintained the tradition which was established by Riordan one of the Revocode prizes at Harvard in the late sixties, by Judge Terrell and Dr. Dubie, when they represented Harvard as commencement orators, and by Clement G. Morgan when he startled the country by being elected class orator at Harvard in 1890. Since that colored men have represented Harvard as class orators, and as commencement orators and as debaters. At Yale they have won oratorical prizes in the Divinity School, Law School and College, have won debating prizes in the Divinity School and represented Divinity School at the Department. In Dartmouth and Rutgers colleges, colored graduates have won oratorical honors. And at Columbia a young Zulu won the Curis Prize Medal in an orations contest. The total list would run up to nearly two score.—Negro World, N. Y. City. Editor Dar Bro. Smith—I am sending her with check for two dollars in settlement of my subscription for another year.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A QUEER START That Will Need Everybody's Money Long Before It Is A Success, If It Ever Is At the Dec. 4, 1920, meeting, in the Union Eldg., A. D. Nims, sales director of the Continental Grocery Stores Co., a new business enterprise, is said to have announced that there would be a meeting at the Cleveland Athletic club on the following Monday evening and that ALL were invited to attend it. In the room were stock-saleeners and a few prospective store-managers. J. A. Logan, a salesman, says he (to make sure) asked Nims where the meeting was to be held, and that the latter replied, saying "Colored people are not admitted to the C.A.C." Logan then says he said that if that was the case, it would settle his connection with the Continental Grocery Stores Co.; that when he purchased stock in he had asked if there was to be any discrimination on the account of color or race and that a man by the name of Smith, a salesman of the company, who had asked him to sell stock and whom he told to confer with the officers of the C. G. S. Co. relative to discrimination, had assured him (Logan) that there would be none. Mr. Logan says he then took up the matter of attending the meeting with President Rideneau at E. Wagner, a director, of Smith, a S. Co. They told him, says, that the arrangements for the meeting were made before his connection with the company and before there was any thought of taking any Colored people "But since he (Logan) was a member, they offered him an apology for what had been said by Nims and assured him that there would be no meetings at the C. A. C. after Dec. 23, '20. Nevertheless, on the advice of friends, Mr. Logan attended the meeting at the C. A. C., as he had a perfect right to do, where, after Announcement is made of the plans of a number of local men to operate and build a fine, new ball park during the coming season with scheduled games under the jurisdiction of President Rube Foster of the Western Circuit of the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs. Cleveland, widely known as a good ball town, has long desired a high class George J. Tate team and apparently the coming season is to see the hopes of ardent fans realized. The Tate Stars Baseball Co. has been incorporated with a capital stock of $25,000 by a group of far-sighted Coleman A. Lewis young men who realize the great possibilities in this wonderful recreational field. This corporation has acquired title to property for a park, four and a half acres of valuable real estate, and will erect thereon a IN UNION IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS R LINE R START LOCAL BUSINESS OPRISE body's Money Long Before ess, If It Ever Is access being seated for about 20 minutes, listening to general personal conversation of no moment from a C.

Co., had asked him to tell him (Mr. Logan) that there was no discrimination against Colored people in the C. A. C. and that they were served there; that he (Mr. Logan) should not have come to the meeting because he knew the white people (in the meeting) did not want him there." Thereupon, Mr. Logan returned to the meeting and feeling that he was unwelcome, the tolerated by officers, co-workers, fellow salesmen and prospective storemanagers of the Continental Grocery Stores Co., he left. The following morning at the company's offices, he noticed that his name as a stock sales agent was removed from the weekly bulletin board which had been posted the day before. The next morning, he was refused circulars and cards, and says he knew that his career as a sales-agent of the C. G. S.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1920 Five whites and one "Negro" were killed in the Independence, Kan. riot, of last week. Thus were the Chicago and Washington "experiences" repeated for the benefit of white mobocrats in that state, and the rest of the North, who refuse to learn the "lesson" and that is that our people in this section of the country will not tolerate the lynch-murdering of our people. Because of Argentina's withdrawal from the league of nations, withdrawal of financial support from Argentina by the bankers of Great Britain, France, and the United States, was recently suggested in important banking quarters in Wall street, according to press reports. That is sufficient proof, if such were needed, that the international bankers are the ones who were so insistent on the United States entering the league. Uncle Sam was to be their insurance collector in addition to being saddled with all the risks. It was a great little plan but we saw through it. Ralph Wilgera Tyler of Columbus has "bobbed up" again with his political "rot" letters to race papers, praising himself and covertly attacking those he dislikes, the editor of The Gazette among the number. The Washington Eagle and Bee ought to be above publishing his vaporings. He rarely ever signs his name to any of his letters, thus hiding behind the editors of papers who publish them. Tyler is "a dead political duck." Won't our confreres let him "stay dead and rest in peace"? He never had any real status in the Republican politics of Ohio and now it looks very much as if he never will have. The Democratic press is busily circulating the prediction that the Republican Congress will not get the appropriation bills passed by March 4, the day of adjournment. Well, if the bills are not passed by that date, the responsibility will lie with the Democratic Departments which have demanded a billion dollars in excess of the costs of the government during the past fiscal year. Moreover, if the Republicans fail to get the appropriations pared down by adjournment day, they will do no worse than did the Democratic Congresses when they had also a Democratic Executive to co-operate with them. Dispatches from London tell of rapidly growing unions of the middle classes, people who are not classed as union laborers or as capitalists. They represent what might be called consumers, although, of course, all labor union members and capitalists are also consumers. The "middle classes" are those whose interests are identical with what might be designated "the general public" as distinguished from special interests. Organized labor on the one hand and organized capital on the other are always seeking special favors, and, because of organization, are often able to secure advantages from which the "middle classes" suffer. It is to defend themselves against injustices that the "middle classes" are organizing in England. Among the objects of the organization are, to create an effective bulwark against the excessive and repeated demands of labor, which merely enlarge the "vicious circle" of costs of living, and to organize the mass of the taxpaying citizens for self defense in the event of strikes by putting them in a position to maintain essential public utility services such as transport, supply of coal, lighting, etc. But one of the most important of the benefits to be gained through an organization of the "middle classes" is in the presentation of facts and arguments to the legislative body in support of the views and interests of the general public. Such an organization would represent general welfare against special or class interests. While there is much that could be accomplished by a middle class union in the United States, formed along the lines of the British unions, it is not likely that any such organizations will be created. Already there are numerous farmers' organizations which present the views of the agricultural producers and the numerous local citizens' associations speak for the general welfare of their communities. The elections in the United States last November were a pretty clear demonstration that the "middle classes" are not only opposed to class government but will rebuke any attempt to sacrifice general welfare for class interest. The "middle classes" control the elections, and therein lies their power. The disfranchisement issue is up to Congress, Congressman Tinkham, of Massachusetts, asserts that, unless Congress squares with the fourteenth amendment, he will bring it to test the constitutionality of the next Congress. The Hon. Joseph C. Manning, in 1916, took the position in the public prints that the nation then had an illegal and unconstitutional Congress. He then pointed out that representation had not been reduced although the suffrage rights of the people of southern states had been abridged and that delegations then in Congress were there unconstitutionally, Congressman Tinkham is now pressing this point which Mr. Manning has emphasized for years! The issue is up to the Republican Congress and it can not be avoided or "side-stepped." For the past two years, particularly, Mr. Manning has devoted much time in bringing this southern situation, through personal talks, to the attention of senators and representatives in Washington. The Gazette has been glad to encourage and cooperate with Mr. Manning in his work, which seems now to be coming to fruition. Now is the time to write to members of Congress urging action. Send a letter to your Congress, urging that this issue be met. Either a law to enforce honest elections in the South or an act reducing representation must be enacted. One or the other will be done. PEOPLST AGAINST WEONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes co-wards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —File Wheeler Wilcox. MERRY XMAS from LEWIS 3113 CENT LADIES' and GEN Great Reduction Overcoats. Phone C DR.

Clevelanders into a real liking of the basket game, are planning an even busier season, this year, than last. The boys, under the peppery Capt. Miser, are hard at it, working out daily at Hiram House. They will pry open the season, Xmas eve, the runner-up Swastikas of last year, furnishing the opposition. Clyde Perry, the popular proprietor of the Bon Ton billiard parlors, has assumed the management of the Pioneers and a most successful season is expected. NEW YORK CITY—In a statement given out here the other day, Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, again declared his willingness to meet Harry Wills, the logical contender. He declared that after he has disposed of Brennan, Carpenter and Greb if the boxing public demands that he defend his honors against Wills, he would never hide behind a mythical color-line. Demussey is anxious for the public to consider him a real fighting champion and not a bluffer. "Duster" Mails Wants Revenge. LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Walter Mails, the pitching sensation of the Cleveland Indians, is anxious for another try at our White Sox. Some days ago "Duster", with Chet Thomas receiving and backed by all-star major-leaguers, was trimmed by our lads, 4 to 2, in a hectic battle. "Lamb" Curry stopped the slugging star-leaguers with six scattered hits. Sam Langford's Charges. PORTLAND, Ore.,—Charges made by Sam Langford that Tiny Herman's gloves were "doctored" in a recent match between the two here, will be investigated by the local boxing commission at a meeting called for Friday evening. According to Langford he was partly blinded during the fight with Herman by something on Herman's gloves. Herman's manager, Chet McIntire, denied the charges. Morehouse college of Atlanta has a remarkable record in that they have lost only one football game in twenty years. They lost a game ten years ago, prior to which time and since then, they have not heard the word defeat. "Mountain" Hubbard, wonder hurler of the N. Y. Lincoln Giants, is really "strutting his stuff" in the California winter league. He recently let down the Los Angeles Stars with four measly hits. The Collegians of Cleveland went down before the Pittsburgh Scholastics, 34 to 12, in the latter city, last Friday night. Capt. Tyler and Allen starred for the locals. A good sized crowd at Acme Hall, Monday evening, saw Leo Patterson, A. E. F. champ point out Jackie Moore in a tame main bout. Boy Gaims in the opening promenade. The second prelim was full of action when Kid Newman put the K. O. on "Jamaica Kid" in the fourth round. Doc White was the capable referee while the show was under the efficient management of Stewart Goins. THE PURE FOOD SHOW And Industrial Exposition, This Year, To Surpass All Others—Many Special Features The sixteenth annual pure food show and industrial exposition which will be held at the Ninth Garage building, East 6th street and St. Clair avenue, the week beginning February 7th, promises to be the greatest show of its kind ever held in Cleveland, Manager E. H. Klaustermeyer, who will direct the show, under the auspices of the Cleveland Retail Grocers' Association, has announced that more nationally known food products than ever before are to be exhibited and demonstrated during the show. The entire second floor of the new Ninth Garage building will be devoted to the exhibits, which will number well over one hundred. Applications for space have poured in upon Manager Klaustermeyer from manufacturers in every part of the country, testifying to the high regard in which the Cleveland food show is held by producers of nationally advertised foods. This years' show will be made all the more attactive by a number of contests in which valuable prizes will be given. The total value of the prizes which number eighteen is $2,000, according to Manager Klaustermeyer. Housewives are invitee to enter the culinary contests and compete for the valuable prizes which include a $300 combination coal and gas range for the best loaf of bread entered; a $200 coal and gas range to the winner of the cake baking contest and a $150 gas range to the winner of the pie baking contest. Other features planned for the show include a beauty contest for babies and one for children from three to six years of age. A style show which will include the presentation of the new spring modes by living models will also be held nightly during the show week. Club and society women will agam conduct the tea room at the show, with a different club or society in charge each day. The proceeds will go to the clubs who are in charge of the tea room. There will be many other features of interest to all women, including a series of lectures on domestic science by experts. Officers of the Cleveland Retail Grocers' Association, under whose auspices the show will be held are: Charles Madors, president; John Schafer, vice president; A. Robecheck. STATE STATE Eddie Cowan, an old Oberlin boy, who achieved a fine reputation several years ago as an all-round athlete, has about decided to retire from the sport-game altogether. Two years years ago, Eddie played a flashy fielding game for the Tate Stars, but showed a decided inability to clout the ball. During last year's basketball season, he was a star and helped bring the championship to the Pioneers. In 1919 Cowan was married to Miss Thomas, a popular Commeau belle, and recently they have rejoiced over the birth of a child. Some Real Good Sport "Hash." The Swastika basket ball five. under the hustling management of R. W. Tallafero, are building up their team and expect to give the best teams in the country a run for the honors. Among the men trying out are Willett, Price, Jefferson and Bruce of Tuskegee. Dave Wyatt, publicity man of the N. A. of C. B. C., is certainly a hustling "busyizzy". Dave writes lively sport dope for half a dozen paper and several magazines. Fritz Pollard, Lincoln's coach, ascribes the sad showing of his footballers to interference with his methods, poor care of the team and declares he even had to buy them football shoes.

RADIUM WAS THE PIONEER All the High Explosives Used in Great War Not More Terrific In Their Possibilities Than Atoms in Human Body—How to Unlose Is Problem. "In the little finger of every human being there is enough energy to run all the railway trains in the United States for a few minutes." "This statement is vouchered for by some of the leading scientists of the world. "If the atomic energy in an ounce of matter could be utilized," said Sir Oliver Lodge, "it would be sufficient to raise the German ships sunk in the Scapa Flow and pile them on top of the Scotch Highlands." Another great scientist, Sir J. S. Thompson, made the following remarkable statement: "The energy stored in an ounce of chlorine is about the amount of work required to keep the Mauretania going at full speed for a week." This mysterious and enormous power would be developed, or rather transformed by the splitting up of the atoms of any substance. Man has not yet learned how to utilize it, and Sir Oliver thinks he is not civilized enough yet to be trusted with such a power. But the time will come, he thinks, when our descendants, instead of burning thousands of tons of coal will take the equivalent energy out ounce or two of matter.

To get an idea of the nature of this fearful energy, consider radium. Radium is an element that is disintegrating, shooting off particles, giving up atomic energy. All matter is doing the same thing, according to the Popular Scientific Monthly; but only in radioactive substances are we conscious of it. A radium atom, it is said, is like a two-pounder firing a 100-pound shot. There is a powerful recoil after each shot. If a pound of radium had started in the year 1 A. D. it would now be about half gone. And yet from each grain of radium there are thrown off over 2,000,000 "alpha particles" every second. The heat developed, naturally, is enormous. A grain of radium, it has been calculated, will melt one and one-half times its own weight in ice every hour, and the process goes on for more than 2000 years. The atom has been called a miniature solar system by Sir Oliver Lodge. There is a central nucleus with a revolving system of electrons which are alike but of different numbers in all substances. The atom is about 100,000 times as large as the electron. No-one knows what this nucleus or central sun is, but since every atom is made up of such a nucleus with electrons revolving around it at stupendous speed it can be seen that it must contain enormous stores of energy. All the high explosives used in the great war were not more terrific in their possibilities than the atoms in the human body. But how to unlose and control this terrific energy is a problem that remains to be solved. Wet: With Tears "This book is damp. Yet evidently it is not just from the press."

KOEHLER MUSIC 15207 St. Clair Ave.—Five Points BAD TEETH AND INSANITY. Missouri Hospital Treats Teeth and Tonsils of Patients. As was announced a year or so ago, investigations at the New Jersey state hospital for the insane have convinced medical experts of the institution that diseased teeth and tonsils often harbor germs which may induce insanity. Working on this theory dentists and threat specialists are treating patients of the Missouri hospital for the insane at St. Joseph. Several hundred patients have had their teeth and tonsils treated and gratifying improvement in the mental condition of a number of them has been noted. FIGURES LEAVE DIAL Curious Effect in Dark Room With Luminous Dial. A curious effect may be noted if a watch with a luminous dial be moved slowly in the plane of the dial in a room illuminated only by red rays, such as a photographer's dark room. The figures seem to leave the dial and lag behind it as the watch is moved to and fro. This effect is most pronounced when the red light is properly adjusted according to the brightness of the uluminous figures and when the eye has become fully adjusted to the light. "How are things going these days?" asked the washing machine agent who visited the hamlet, now and again. "Finer than frog hair!" replied the landlord of the tavern at Grudge.

I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about you may find a complete cure without writing to me. Eugene M Mullen, Carpenter, 4070 G Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J.
