Richardson and Wesley --- Taft was in violation of his oath which he had taken. Office-holding is a part of our system of American franchise. The south deprived our race of its franchise in the south and Mr. Taft deprived, the race of its right to hold office in the south. Both the south and Mr. Taft were enemies of the constitution. As chief justice, Mr. Taft follows a southerner who in his legal acts rose above the traditions of his section. As President, Mr. Taft betrayed the traditions of his section toward our people. As chief justice, Mr. Taft is powerless to harm the race as he did while President! His vote is one of nine that must determine the law that is to govern all races. It is only when he can have with him four others that he can be of harm to our people in his judicial acts. Mr. Taft goes to his present position with the shaken confidence of more than ten million. Afro-Americans. No other Republican upon that bench has the distrust of our citizens that Mr. Taft has. He believes in giving our men privileges in the north that must be denied them in the south. This is unfair to both whites and blacks, and wrong! He wrecked the Republican party while he was President but we hope he will be more successful as chief justice in holding things together. Chief Justice White, a Louisianaian, was JUST in his judicial decisions toward our people to a degree that astounded many. The past history of Mr. Taft must be contradicted if he nerves himself to be even fair toward the race. We trust that he will at least keep out of politics, especially that of advising the President in making federal appointments. (Rev.) William A. Byrd.

The Peoples Realty Company Declares a Dividend. At its regular meeting held July 5th, the Board of Directors of the Peoples Realty Company declared a semi-annual dividend of 47%. Despite the business depression, this Company has been able to show a profit equivalent to an 87% annual earning. The Peoples Realty Company was incorporated a little over a year ago with an authorized capital of $25,000, for the purpose of buying and selling property, and developing homesites for our people. Their first investment was the buying our right of 102 lots in the Bella Villa Alotment, southeast of the city near Miles Ave. A great many of these lots have been sold and homes erected thereon. The Company has a few remaining shares of stock which are offered to the public. This stock should prove even more profitable as an investment as business conditions improve. The office of the Company is located at 2316 E. 555th St. The officers are: H. E. Murrell, pres.; R. K. Hodges, vice-pres.; A. J. Whitehead, treas.; H. S. Chaucev, sec.-mgr. The directors are: G. W.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MUCH PROPERTY LOST An Interesting Account of the Heart-Rending Conditions Immediately Following and Still Existing (Special to The Gazette.) Tulsa. Okla.—Now that things have quieted down in this mob-rid den town, your readers undoubtedly would like to know some facts (in connection with the recent horror) as yet unknown to the North. Most of the property that was owned by our business men and a large portion of their residential section will revert to white ownership on account of the inability of the present owners to derive any income from it with which to liquidate the mortgages upon the property. For example, J. B. Stratford had an original mortgage on his property, where his $100,000 hotel was located, in the amount of $65,000. This had been reduced to $20,000, or thereabouts. He was reducing this at the rate of $450 per month. The property producing no income now will of course revert to the mortgages (white). This condition applies to perhaps 75 percent of our local holdings. Another problem that involves thousands of dollars, is that in the burning of the homes, many had their bank-books destroyed. John Smith, who ran a boot-black stand on Greenwood St., in the Dixie Theatre Building, had in the bank, according to his wife's statement, over $200. The book was destroyed and the bank where they have their fund has to date refused to acknowledge their account. They are in Oklahoma City, without funds or work. It is sold city, without funds or work. the building permit to Goodwin, the undertaker, who desired to replace his building. the city took advantage of many unanticipated absences through a bunch of refugees. O. A. Steiner (white), street commissioner, made a bunch of refugees in the Fair Grounds unload several loads of crushed rock, receiving in return "three square meals and a bed." The city's investigation promises to be a farce, since the appointment of another investigation committee by Mayor Erans. The first committee appointed in a mass meeting will be denounced if the mayor's will is done. The first committee has been strong in its denunciation of the city government. It has not failed to say unreservedly that law and order completely disappeared in Tulsa on June 1. The new committee is trying to reverse this verbal expression of an outstanding fact. In other words, the mayor and the police propose to investigate themselves. According to a statement made by one of our prominent business men who formerly operated a fine 85,000 barber shop here, which was completely destroyed in the riot, nine fine automobiles, the property of Tulsa Afro-Americans driven out by the mob, were located in Arkansas, soon after June 1. Jackson, the undertaker, OUR DEBT TO HAITI. Americans have never forgotten, and will never forget, the aid which France gave to the republic in the War of Independence. We are grateful, too, to Poland, and the names of Pulaski and Kosciusko are remembered with those of Lafayette and Rochambeau. Nor can we deny our gratitude to the Germans, Von Steuben and De Kulb, who gave their services to the cause of the insurgent colonists. We feel kindly toward Holland for having been the first nation to recognize the republic; and we are even grateful to Russia for Catharine's good wishes and moral support. Our list of benefactors is indeed large, but it now appears that we have omitted one nation which is clearly entitled to a place. A correspondent of the New York Tribune calls attention to the fact that a Haitian legion, numbering about 800 Neocons and mulattoes "left their families and their home and went to fight side by side with George Washington." This legion was recruited in response to the call of Count (Esting) in 1773. The legion fought bravely at the battle of Savannah, and, according to a record prepared in Paris and seceded by Britain Rus' American minister to Britain in 1819, and preserved in the annals of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, saved the army by covering the retreat of the French and American forces. The names of several Haitians who rendered specially gallant service are preserved in this record, but only one of these names is known to history. Henri Christophe, who later became king of Haiti, fought bravely for American freedom at the battle of Savannah. The record seems to be unassailable. Haiti clearly deserves a place on the list of nations that merit American gratitude. The black friends of freedom who fought at Savannah should not be forgotten, nor should the Haitians of today be given cause to accuse of ingratitude the great nation which their forefathers helped to establish.—Cleveland (O.) Plain Dealer (daily). IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS TH! PERTY LOST of the Terrible oma Riot the Heart-Rending Conditions wing and Still Existing Tulsa. was successful in locating his big ambulance through a white man who came to him and suggested that he could locate it. He went with the man and the car was located in the residence district. The two bodies of whites found in the ruins of the Stratford were footers who stayed in the burning building too long, the walls falling in on them. Many of our people are still in the local hospitals. Several who rushed from their homes were burned almost from head to foot and still lay in the hospital covered over with grease to ease their pain. "When the elephants roost in the trees, I'm going back to Tulsa," said one of the prominent physicians, formerly of this city, who landed in Oklahoma City. Most of our business and professional men are planning to leave this city for good as soon as they can adjust what little business remains to be attended to (out of the holocaust of fire). "I have now what is a vacant lot, where my house was," says this doctor. "I am going to sell that, then goodbye Tulsa." More than fifty percent of our people have left the city. It is humiliating to the greatest degree to Afro-Americans of the city to have to go around labeled with green cards as though they are dogs or some other kind of animals, and as soon as they are able, they will shake the dust of Tulsa from their feet. "I never saw so many kids (white) in their teens with guns and pistols in their hands," said Dr. Jack Smitherman, who was one of the physicians who was herded into the concentration camps during the riot. "Several of them wanted to shoot me but older heads prevailed. One shot right in front of me to show that I was in grave danger. Four of our men were shot in front of Convention hall." Frank Smith, another named Clark and Holderness were three whose names Dr. Smitherman remembered. Another man was shot on the other side of Brady St. Failure to hold up their hands was the cause of this shooting. Dick Rowland is in South Omaha. He was released by the local authorities, no charges being placed against him. The mob of white hoodlums at the jail, during the riots, were attempting to murder an innocent man. He was not in the jail when the mob appeared there. Sarah Page (white) has vanished as completely as a mirage on a desert. The story still stands that all that Dick. Rowland was guilty of. was stumbling and steeping on her fob. She struck him with her hand bag, and he grabbed her hand as he stepped out of the elevator. This caused the riots!

Sir:—In reply to your letter of March 3rd, 1921, I have the honour to say that the Marcus Garvey movement, especially in its contemplated political manifestation in Africa, does not meet with the endorsement of the Liberian government, nor is it likely that the country will be exploited by him without regard to the decision of the Liberian government. I have the honour to be, Right Rev. Sir. Your obedient servant. EDWIN BARCLAY, Secretary of State. Hoover on "The Hard Times" Boston, Mass.—Recovery from economic depression in the United States as well as abroad depends upon "courage and applied intelligence and the return to primary virtues of hard, conscientious toil and economy in living." Secretary Hoover declared here Tuesday, in an address before the National Shoe and Leather exposition. "There may be no recovery from these hard times for many years to come." Mr. Hoover said, "If we neglect our economic relations abroad. The hard times that knock at every cottage door came from Europe. No tariffs, no embargoes, no navies, no armies can ever defend us from these invasions." Our sole defense is the prosperity of our neighbors and our own commercial skill. The recovery of our foreign trade can march only in company with the welfare and prosperity of our customers." "It doesn't make any difference what Dempsey says about drawing the color line. The public wants Dempsey whipped." Jack said. "And the public knows I am the one to do it." --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.90 Six Months ..... 1.50 Three Months ..... 5.0 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

JULY 16, 1921. After the delegation from the Japanese House of Representatives have completed their tour of the United States, they should be able to convince their fellow nationals at home of the utter futility of making war upon America. Nothing is so impressive to an intelligent foreigner as the extent and variety of our industries and natural resources. --- It is well that the press of this country is widely commenting on the failure of the English mine strike. Probably no country has ever faced a more determined assault by the radical element and survived. The defeat of the strikers means industrial freedom for England for many years in the future. And it will have a most beneficial effect in this country if the facts are presented to every citizen and their full import taken to heart. HAM HOLT HECKLES HARDING. Mr. Hamilton Holt is heading a party of pro-leaguers who refuse to accept the dictum of the American voters, last November, and are urging President Harding to announce his plan for an association of nations so that they can study and criticize it. If Mr. Holt and his followers will acquaint themselves with current events at Washington and take their eyes off of Europe for a time they will see that President Harding and his administration are bending every effort toward putting the American house in order. It is true that Mr. Harding favors an association of nations in the interests of would peace, and he said so in the campaign, but the dominant note of his speeches before the election was "America first." And he is looking after American first. Holt and his crowd would have the United States wallow awhile longer in the aftermath of Wilsonism, while we continue our sacrifices in the interests of European rehabilitation. But Mr. Harding's thoughts are centered on the welfare of the United States, and the people are with him. ONE OF THE LEGACIES. Almost a billion dollars of unpaid interest on the foreign debt was one of the legacies bequeathed to the Harding administration by the retiring Democrats. Plans for the payment of that huge sum must be worked out together with an effective policy toward the principal of the debt, amounting to over $10,000,000,000. Secretary Mellon says that inquiries have been received from several of the debtor countries regarding the attitude of the United States toward the interest payments, and that he has told all of them that they must pay up. Republicans of Congress and the executive branch are determined that interest payments shall be kept up to date in the future, and that the principal shall be refunded in such a way as to make certain of its eventual repayment to the United States, while at the same time showing all proper consideration to the financial situation in each of the debtor nations. Champion Jack Dempsey will not be allowed to hide behind the "color-line." The public will not permit it. Jack Johnson may be barred because of his bad reputation which he is largely responsible for. But in the case of Harry Wills, his most formidable opponent, no such objection to meeting him as the silly "color-line" will avail Dempsey. The public, just as the great writers, Arthur Brisbane and Benj. Karr (white) say, will not "stand for it." U. S. District Attorney Wm. Hayward (white), colonel of the famous 369th Inf. reg. (Afro-Americans), has appointed a member of the race, Atty. James C. Thomas, Jr., of New York City, an assistant U. S. district attorney, and in so doing has materially improved the opinion of him held by many of our people who watched closely his control of the regiment while in France during the World War. New York newspapers are beginning to discuss the "Passing of the Great White Race" and the ascendancy of the "Great Colored Race." Isn't that "rich"? The only things that seem to be worrying Champion Jack Dempsey and prejudiced white fight-fans, these days, are the shadows of two black fighters. Too bad, isn't it? The recent death of Dr. Wm. A. Credit of Philadelphia removes from the field of action a very able member of the race. President Warren G. Harding's letter-greeting to the Detroit meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. was a very graceful and proper thing and about the first of its kind to one of our organizations for many years. Ohio's Republican representatives in both branches of the Congress should help to bring about an official investigation of Democratic misrule in both Haiti and Santo Domingo. The attempt of white secondnels, on a city "investigating" committee in Tulsa, to place the blame for the June riot in that Oklahoma city is "the usual thing," we know, but it is none the less outrageous and so ridiculous that no one should be missed by their published statement. It is simply blaming the victim for the crime of the lynch-murderer. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the new Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, is reported as saying that he will retain his membership of the Republican National Committee. Lynching Record for First Six Months of 1921 According to records compiled by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I. Institute, during the first six months of 1921, there were 36 lynchings. This is 24 more than the number (12) for the first six months of 1920, and 7 more than the number (29) for the first six months of 1919. Of those lynch, 2 were white and 24 Negroes. Two of the latter were women. Only eleven of those put to death were charged (no trials) with lynching. Alabama had one lynching; Arkansas, 4; Florida 4; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1. CAN RENEW WAR RISKS U. S. Treasury Rulings Permit Rein statement of Lapsed Insurance— Attention, Ex-Service Men! Washington, D. C.—New treasury rulings liberalizing preceding regulations on war risk term insurance may be reinstated or converted were announced July 1, by Director Forbes of the bureau of war risk insurance with the approval of Secretary Mellon.

HOW OUR BIRDS BUILD THEIR NESTS Instinct, Slowly Developed and Handed Down Through the Ages, Only Teacher. MANY DIFFERENT TRAITS In General, the Elaborateness of Nests Increases With Helplessness Of the Young on Hatching—Cowbirds and Cuckoos Build No Nests. The bird, its nest and the unfailing care lavished on the young birds make up one of the most appealing chapters in natural history, says a writer in the Farm Journal. People have always been interested in birds' nests, the article says, and have conjectured how the birds have learned the art of building them. Some have thought that they learned this by imitation but the most careful studies indicate that instinct has been their only teacher—instinct slowly developed and handed down to each species through the ages. Nest building has been a long and gradual growth, due to the fact that birds have developed from reptilian ancestors that left their eggs to be hatched by the heat of th sun or of decaying vegetation. After developing, beyond the cold-blooded reptilian stage into warm-blooded animals, birds required a constant body temperature above that of their environment; it became necessary for them to keep their eggs as well as their bodies at an even temperature. This was accomplishd best by sitting on the eggs. Thus nests became necessary to keep the eggs from rolling about, to retain the heat and to provide a comfortable place to sit during the long, tedious hours of incubation. However, there are a few birds that have not acquired the nest-building habit. The brush turkeys of New Guinea, for instance, still resemble the reptiles in depositing their eggs in the warm sand to be hatched by the heat of the sun. Their relatives, the mound-birds of Australia, deposit their eggs in great piles of earth, which they scratch together, depending on the heat of the decaying mass to hatch them. The whippoorwill and the chuckwills-widow build no nests at all; they simply deposit their eggs on the ground in the woods. The nests of the killdeer and other plovers are only makehift affairs, mere shallow depressions hollowed out in the ground. In general the elaborateness of nests increases with the helplessness of the young on hatching. Birds whose young are able to follow them off as soon as hatched build crude nests, while those whose young are entirely dependent on them for food and protection build more elaborate nests. Some of the birds which nest in trees and bushes build very crudely, having evidently developed the nest-building instinct but recently. Others build strong nests that are wonderfully warm and compact. The mourning dove, for example, makes only simple platform of sticks, slightly hollowed so that the eggs won't roll out. The herons also build very filmsy nests, their eggs being visible through the structure from below. These crude nests serve the purposes of their builders, however, keeping the eggs from the damp ground and protecting them against rain and various animal enemies. The nest of the yellow warbler stands in marked contrast to the poor architecture of the mourning dove and the herons. It is made of soft, warm materials, such as cotton, plant-down and horse-hair, woven into the form of a cup. Some birds fix to the outsides of their nests by way of refinements lichens, bits of paper and the like. Some have supposed that these are intended as decorations but it is more likely that they are used to make the nests less conspicuous. The last stage in the development of nest architecture is the hanging nest, like that of the Baltimore oriole, carefully woven of strings, horse-hairs and plant fibers and cleverly hidden in the leaf tip of a branch. By building this way the bird makes its eggs and young safe against pifering animals. Some birds, like the blue-bird, chickadee and nuthatch, build well-formed nests in holes. These represent a much higher stage in nest evolution, having probably recently come into the hole-nesting habit after first developing a nest-building instinct. The cowbirds and the European cuckoo have entirely lost their nest-building instincts. These birds deposit their eggs in the nests of other birds, often removing an egg of the rightful tenant for each one of their own deposited. The young are left to be hatched and cared for by the unfortunate foster parents. Baffled at Last. "Madam Cleo, the soothsayer, has retired from business, a victim of the housing shortage." "How did that come about?" "Most of her clients wanted to know where they'd be living next year and all the usual methods for prying into the future failed." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 16, 1921 THE LIVES OF A CAT. Voracious Tale of a Prominent Poli Citizen, Alison Nite, Lives tician Anent I nine Lives. Many stories are told about the persistence with the cat at wielding to lion's prey, probably that a cat has nine lives, and this is a generally regarded as gospel. A prominent politician is authority for the following true and authentic case illustrating the persistent longevity of the feline race. As this man is a politician, it goes without saying that what he relates is true in every particular, if not more. The cat in question had become such a nuisance that she was condemned to death. No member of the family was willing to be the executioner and so a boy was hired to carry her away in a sack and drown her. The boy reported the cat drowned—but that night she was back again on her old beat, meowing and caterwailing and spitting and sniffing. The family chalked off life No. 1 and then had the ashman take her away next day, with the assurance that he would chloroform her. It was not long before she was again on the job, and the faint odor of chloroform that still clung to her indicated that the ashman had tried to do his duty but had failed. Next the cat was placed in a closed basket with a supply of food and water and was put on a freight train that was not supposed to make a stop for 20 miles. But the following night Tabby was home again, little the worse for her journey. It is not necessary to recite all the different ways in which the family tried to put an end to the cat's terrestrial existence. At length the time arrived when eight of the cat's lives had been taken. The head of the house had now become desperate and he was determined to put an end to the matter once and for all. He was a humane man ordinarily but this cat fend had got on his nerves and it was now a mortal combat to see that one would win—he or the cat. He seized Tabby, placed her neck on the chopping-block and with his eyes turned away he struck off her head with an axe. Then he went to bed with a clear conscience, feeling that his duty to society had been done, though it was unpleasant. In the middle of the night he was awakened by a loud meowing under his window. He knew of course that it could not be his cat but at length he got up and opened the door. What was his surprise to behold the very same identical cat, standing there right before him holding its head in its mouth. As we said at the star, if this anecdote was not vouched for by a prominent politician we should place no credence in it. The episode shows that some very wonderful things do sometimes happen and that the hoo-snake is not the only thing that exists in spite of solemn denials by the scientists. VALUE OF VIOLINS. Beware of the Faker; When in Doubt Consult an Expert. A reader inquires if there is a premium on violins marked "Stradivarius, 1715." stamped on neck. Genuine old violins were not stamped on neck. The mere presence of the name "Stradivarius" and the date would not guarantee its make or age; in fact, such markings almost invariably stamp the instrument as a cheap imitation. Out of every 100,000 violins so marked, possibly one would be the genuine article. Fakers the world over have for years been putting violins and other stringed instruments on the market with all kinds of marks and scratches to imitate age and use. If there is any real reason for believing the instrument genuine, it should be sent to an expert in any of the large cities, who will be able to render a quick decision. SMALL STREAMS Will Produce Electric Power, Says Department of Agriculture The Department of Agriculture at Washington has prepared a booklet, "Electricity From Small Sterams," which should be of interest to many in view of existing fuel difficulties and shortages of labor. The phases of the subject discussed are: Latent sources of water power; plants within reach of thousands; estimating the amount of power required; water power principles; measuring the stream flow and power from small streams. Those interested should write to their representatives in Congress or to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. SCENT. BAFFLING PUZZLE. Not a Scientist Living Who Can Tell What It Is. The nose recognizes the rose, the onion, musk and other things of an odoriferous nature by reason of the fact that scent, a peculiar emanation from the onion, the rose, etc., comes in contact with or in some other way excites the delicate terminals of the olfactory nerves. Ask men of science what scent is, however, and though they may know all about ultra-violet rays, the mysterious pulsations that are propagated through space, the intricate motions of distant stars and planets, etc., not one can give a satisfactory answer. Further investigation of this matter by trained scientists would be altogether worth while. Thadoeus Jennings, aged 85, of Southington, Conn., recently learned to ride a bicycle. Learning Fast.

(Nothing is said about getting out of Haiti.) Under the terms of the| proposed withdrawal a joint commis-| sion will superintend the evacuation,| the Americans to be selected by our| Navy Department, and the Domini- Sans to be appoinied by the Miltary Governor.

For five years following an illegal and totally un- {ustifiatle invasion and conquest, Santo Domingo, under a cover of a strict censorship, ruled by an abso- Jute, tyrannical, and stupid military despotism, has ‘been wrecked, looted, tortured. ’ Hundreds of her ‘citizens have been killed; arson and robbery have been committed. Incompetents, and worse, have squandered the funds =the Dominican funds—which have been dispensed by American political hangers-on of inferior type. All this is now to be ratified. The Domini- ans are asked as a part of the price of their freedom to make the record of the American occupation appear as the driven snow.

You cannot give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man.” “The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I pro- claim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro.” “I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on. the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of free- dom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.” | “If Lhave anything to do with it, there shall be, good Ameri- can obedience to the law.

Yes, but until such time as the Dominicans are “com- petent to undertake such service the desired organization will be effected with American officers... .” whose expenses “will be paid by the Dom- iniean Republic.” Of course, if this glause were really carried out in good faith there might be no serious object- ion to it. But American good faith has depreciated in the. Caribbean. to about the level of the Russian ruble. Moreover, an exact precedent as to the value of ‘this particular arrangement exists, Precisely the same plan was forced on the Haitians, but to this day former privates of the United States Marine Corps are officers in the Haitian Gendarmerie, while educated Haitians, graduates ‘of the famous French military academy at St. Cyr, have not yet, after six years, been found “competent.” What a farce it all ist’ Why isn't this great country of ours big enough and honorable enough to say to thi: tiny republic: “We have wronged you greatly. In our name unpardonable things have been done, We owe you profound apology, complete restora- tion of your sovereignty, and all hu- manly possible amends.” How simple it would be! What would it not d to re-establish the good name of the United States throughout the world and to give our citizens an ideal o! deeds—not empty words and orator ical bombast—to cling to, to work for to stand by! In terms of material istic self-interest it would be worth millions of dollars in South American good-will alone. For no Latin-Amer- jean is in the dark about our crime: in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, there is every likelihood that even the sore- ly oppressed Dominicans will refuse to pay the price demanded by virtue of our superior strength for thei semblance of liberty.

See. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent, jur- isdietion in the county where such of- fense was committed.
