Lloyd Wills of Farrell, Pa., outfielder of the Athletics of that city the past season, where his hitting and fielding made him the sensation of western Pennsylvania, is one of the men. Wills is a star at football and basketball. From Chattanooga, during the 1921 season, came reports of a player who constantly kept the ball over and against the longest fences. This is none other than Bill Couch, who quite a few local fans will recall as a former "coming" member of the Fears' Giants. Couch will join the Tates and he is as clever a pitcher as he is an outfielder. Rah. for East Tech! A noteworthy event was the recent refusal of the East Tech football players to play Bryan, Texas. High school in a scheduled intersectional grid classic. They refused to accept the challenge after first agreeing to it. The reason is that they could not take John Trice, their star tackle with them. Trice is one of the greatest football players ever turned out of local high schools. Wilberforce to Be Busy.

McGhee, Hall, Banks and Fisher. Hough, Hudson and Lewis are the best appearing new candidates. "Bobo" is a product of Cleveland, where he has been mixing in all kinds of sports since he was knee high, when he is said to have attempted his first fight. Anyway "Bo" has been a boxer, basketball, football and baseball player of fair ability for more than eight years. Last season, under the tutelage of "Jim" Taylor, Leonard showed flashes of real baseball ability and the manager intends to bring him out as a pitcher in 1922. "Bobo" has a world of speed and a great assortment of curves and when he gets the needed control and confidence, he should be one of the greatest pitchers in our baseball league. A large and enthusiastic crowd was at Eagle's Hall, E. 55th St.; Monday evening and saw the Acmes trample on the Ravenna five, 37 to 16. A. F. Yancey's basketkeepers were in fine playing form.

The novel, entitled "Batouala," deals with Negro life in central Africa, the race question and problems and aspirations of the Negroes. The Goncourt prize is worth only 5,000 francs, but it has become one of the most cherished literary awards in France. Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. WASHINGTON; D. C., Dec. 18.—Congress resumes work tomorrow (Monday). with action scheduled on only one important piece of legislation before house and senate quit for, the holiday vacation, this week Thursday night. The one measure of consequence is the Dyer. antilynching bill which is to be taken up in the house and which Representative Mondell, majority leader, says probably will take up the four days intervening before the adjournment. The Man Fights: a Southern State In An Effort to Retain His White Wife—Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. WASHINGTON. D. C.—A court problem of unusual significance is hanging fire in the district supreme court, involving the state of Maryland and Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Peters of 59 Myrtle street, N. W. She is white. Gov. Ritchie of Maryland has issued extradition papers demanding the return and trial of young Peters for his marriage in that state to a white girl. Maryland has a "jim crow" anti-intermarriage law. At the time of Peter's arrest, Mrs. Peters clung to her husband and beseeched his release. Peters is now at liberty on bail pending a hearing. Chief Justice McCoy's decision gave rise to much elation among our people here. He ruled that the extradition papers forwarded here by Gov. Ritchie were insufficient on their face. A continuance of one week was granted to allow the Maryland authorities time to prepare additional papers. This is believed to be the first case on record of extradition papers being served on a man because of an alleged illegal marriage. Where the laws of Maryland forbid such alliances, district ordinances do not, and Mr. and Mrs. Peters are legally wedded here. In the event the attempt at extradition should prove successful at the next hearing and Maryland annuls the marriage. Peters and his wife will return here and be remarried. Anti-Lynching: Bill. When the Dyer anti-lynching bill was called up in the house of representatives, Monday, a sectional fight developed. General debate was limited to ten hours. Leaders have agreed, however, that the measure will not be pressed to a vote before the Christmas recess. "Representative Finis" Garrett of Tennessee, Democratic leader, contended that enactment of such a federal law, which he said would be held unconstitutional because it "invades states rights," would have the effect of increasing rather than decreasing the number of lynchings in the south. Helps to Increase His Congregation From 300 to 1,700, So He's. For It. CHICAGO, Ill.---Rev. Jas. Gordon Gilkey (white), pastor of the South Cong. church of Springfield, Mass., who is here on a visit explained. Sunday, how he had increased his congregation from 200 to 1,700, by allowing the young folks to dance in the church chapel. Not only do the young people dance in the church but the elders, many of them descendants of the Pilgrim fathers, and the minister himself, participate in the hops. "We dance all the modern dances, including the toddler," the Rev. Gilkey said. "It was the only way to save the young folks, from the dance hall and the sex problem play of the local theaters. If the young people want to dance they are going to dance, and if you won't let them dance in the church they will go some place else, probably to the cheap dance halls. That accounts for the deprived tendencies of our "nice" boys and girls today. Girls and boys who previously took no interest in the church are now among the best workers." Rev. Mr. Gilkey said the elders were against the idea at the start, but he finally convinced them if they allowed their children to dance at all it should be where dancing would be made right. fu Klux Klan Flogs Men NU Klux Klan Fights DENISON. Tex.—Three Negroes were flogged by a band of robed and hooded men, Dec. 8. One of the alleged victims, 75 years old, was seriously hurt. The men said the Ku Klux Klan committed the crimes. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The National Equal Rights League's Second World Democracy Congress' Good Work With the "Arms Parley" and for the Dyer Anti- Lunching Bill Washington, D. C.—Our Second World, Democracy Congress, which Saturday closed a week of preliminary and formal session at John Wesley church. If it accomplished nothing more, it certainly did make a conspicuous public effort to have the issue of color-equality considered by the World Disarmament conference. Every day last week, but Friday, one or more of the Washington dalles carried an article about the Congress seeking the privilege of presenting arguments and facts before the World Arms Parley as to why they should consider the abolition of color-maltreatment everywhere in its program of world peace. It is the consensus of opinion among our people here that the written request handed to the Secretary-General, last week. Monday, the written appeal to the U.S. delegation, handed to Senator Lodge at his home on Wednesday and the final memorial were a credit to the intellect and statesmanship of the race, for excerpts of these came out in the daily newsletter. The committee on petition for color-equality, consisting of Wm. T. J. Moppins of Mo. E. T. Morris, of Mass., Rev. Beverly Sansbury of Miss., Rev. W. O. Harris of Ct. Rev. R. B. Brodie of N. Y., Rev. W. J. Hollimus of S. C. J. L. Neill and M. W. Spencer of D. C. had the audience, on Monday, with the Secretary-General; an audience with Senator Lodge and on Friday with the secretary, of the American delegation. On Friday afternoon a part of the committee called in a body on the French delegation in the aristocratic New Willard Hotel with a petition for audience before them in the interest of a hearing before the Parley, and on the British delegation in Franklin Hotel with a like petition which they left with the respective secretaries. Just as conspicuous public work was carried on with the U. S. government on the lynching question. RENEW WAR INSURANCE Payment of Two Back Premiums is Condition. Lapsed war risk insurance may be renewed by war veterans upon payment of two back premiums. W. U. government insurance authority, said Wednesday. This is the latest order from the U. S. veterans' bureau, effective Jan. 2. Disability incurred since discharge but resulting from previous war service will not prevent insurance renewals. All that is necessary is another physical examination. Term insurance can be carried until March, 1926, or be converted into four varying lengths of endowment policies. "Link" Told Him All About It. WASHINGTON. D. C.—Henry Lincoln Johnson. Republican national committeeman from Georgia, called recently, on President Harding, but declared there was no discussion of the rejection by the Senate of his appointment as recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia. He insisted that he would hold his post as national committeeman for the balance of the four-year term he now is serving and said he would seek re-election on its expiration. "Link" did not say the Republicans had any chance of carrying his state in the next 50 or 100 years! 'though they did talk politics. Additional Locals Rev. S. W. Warr of Williams C. M. e Chapel is meeting with astonishing success. R. A. Wilson, until recent weeks one of the foremost officers and most valuable members of Lane Metropolitan C. M. e church, now a member of Williams chapel, has placed in the latter a fine organ. As a result of further efforts, on his part, two M. e churches (white) of this city have given Williams chapel five hundred dollars' worth of beautiful song books and bibles. I have never seen a church grow so fast. All are welcome! Come and praise God with us! Rev. S. W. Warr, pastor; R. B. Vinson, reporter.

Wednesday morning sessions was omitted in order that delegates might approach their congressmen at the capitol, where delegates Trotters, Abbott and Hollinsus had a long audience with floor leader Mondell.

A. Liberty hall, 5912 Central Ave., Mr. Rudolph Smith, leader in the West Indian provinces, ably addressed Cleveland Division, No. 59, showing particularly the relationship between our people domiciled in the western hemispheres and Africa. He is a splendid speaker, convincing, courageous and inspiring. At the conclusion of his address many new members were added to the Division's roll. One of the results of the Washington conference that will not be reflected in any written agreements that may be signed is the cordial feeling it has created between the United States and Great Britain. Years of diplomatic exchanges such as the world is accustomed to could never have achieved the highly satisfactory relations that now exist between the two countries. Mrs. Mattie Hunter, 4217 Cedar Ave., was hostess at a whist party, last Friday evening, given in aid of charity. Among those present were Mrs. Alice Thomas, Mrs. L. Brodogon. Miss osephine Wooten and Messrs. Jarrett Chavous, Wm. Alexander, A. Turner, E. Strode and A. H. Dorsey. Miss Nettie Deal, well and most favorably known to many of both races throut the city, and Mr. Anthony Merritt also of this city, were quietly married, last week Saturday night, and are comfortably located at 9701 Cedar Ave. This will come as a big surprise to Mrs. Merritt's hosts of friends in this city and elsewhere.

DECEMBER 24, 1921. Christmas cards for the editor have been coming all week from far and near, It is not necessary, dear friends, for us to say we thoroly ap- preciate the remembrance and the good wishes expressed and implied. Merry Christmas to all! : i It is an old rule to “buy when every one els wants to cell, and soll when every one else wants to buy.” ‘There are a lot of things cheap in the market today because many people wish to sell. There are cheap cattle, sheep, horses and farm lands. ‘They will never be worth less—they aze almost certain to be worth more soon. Henry Ford speaks of the “long diseredited doctrine ot protection.” But protection fs all right provided he fs the beneficiary, He had the protection of patent laws during the period of development of his huge automobile manufacturnig business. Quite likely he has no need of such protection now, for his quantity Production is such that he can pro- duce at less cost than anyone else. ‘Many gn American industry has been established under a protective law and brought to such a stage of suc- cess that it can supply the home market and export a surplus—the exported surplus representing profit to the wealth of the nation. Henry is simply wrong again; that is all We beg to differ from Congress- man Simeon D. Fess who said in speech, Monday, that “one of the most indescribable tynchings that ever took place in th{s country oc- curred in my own state of Ohio, The man had boasted of his activity in prohibiting the liquor traftic and he was treated inhumanly beyond de- scription. So this (Dyer anti-lynch ing bill) is not a Dill aimed solely at the south, It is aimed at every state where lynchings ocotr.” The mistreatment of that dry detective (white) who was lynched at. New: ark, many years™ago, was not “marker” to the experiences of many Afro-American victims in the South ‘since our good friend, Mr. Fess, ha: been in Congress. Of course he does not know this but it is nevertheless true. tito INTERNAL REVENUE TAX LAW ‘IMPROVED Some criticisms are heard of the Republican tax law recently signed by President Hardnig. No matter what form of internal revenue law the Congress had enacted tt would not have met the approval of all of the people, so the present act is no exception in that regard. The fact is that the new law lifts an annual tax burden of $835,200,000 from the backs of the people. That is $8 for very man, woman and child in the country. Income tax payers will be permiiced additional exemptions, on account of dependents, of $30,000,- 000, and on account of being heads of families thelr tax bills will be cut $40,000,000. Men of large incomes willbe relieved to the extent of $60,000,900 because of decreased surtaxes. A burden of $260,000,000 im excess profits taxes has been tak- en from industry, and transporta- tion costs have been lowered §270,- 900,000, Movie fans and others who attend the theaters have been grant- ed relief to the extent of $20,000,- 000 in admission taxes, and those who frequent the soda water foun- tains have had the cost of their bev- ‘rages reduced $26,000,000. Com- plete financial relief for everybody cannot be compressed within the Umits*ot a single piece of tegisia- ton, but the new internal revenue jaw is @ tremendous step in that direction. “UNCLE SAM," THE GOOD SAMARITAN! It is well that in his message to Congress recommending an appro priation for the aid of starving citi ens of Russia, President Harding ade it clear that this ald to Rus. lan people is not to be construed ai ven an inferential endorsement of ‘the present governing power in that unfortunate nation. The United 3tates has ever been the friend and willing ald of the distressed. ‘Those 2ussians in whose behalf the Presl- dent asks an appropriation are the residents of the Valley of the Volgs which suffered a severe drought dur- ing the past season. His message Proposes an appropriation for the purchase of 10,000,000 bushels of corn and 1,000,000 bushels of seed grains not only to serve immediate needs for food but to provide for the spring planting where seed will not otherwise be available. The President wisely takes occasion to remark: “We do not recognize the govern. ment of Russia nor tolerate the Propaganda which emanates there- from, but we do not forget the tra- ditions of Russian friendship. We may put aside our consideration of all international policies and funda. mental differences in government, the big thing 1s the call of the sut. fering and the dying.” It may be safely assumed that if Congress makes this appropriation the administration will see to it that the Soviet Government shall not be Permitted to make indirect use of the food supplies to strengthen thei hold over the people or perpetuate themsélves in power. It is perhaps pertinent to remark in this connec tion that the United States has to. day a surplus of corn and that the Government can purchase the same at a relatively low price. We have idle ships which can be employed in transporting the corn to Russle where it will supply an urgent need. it is fortunate that the United States, out of an ample surplus, can supply in part the scarcity due to a ‘ought in one of the great grain- producing sections of Russia, BROWN SHOULD BE REMOVED A Mr. Robinson, a former mem ber of Lane Metroptitan C. M. E church but now a member of St Paul's A. M. B. Zion church, thir city, told Revs. R. B. Vinson, L. B. Shy and others, last July, that thirty-seven (orginial" C, M. H.'s and those that were not “original”) members of Lane church had left Lane and joined St. Paul's. ‘This is true, Rey. Vinson assured the editor of The Gazette in its office on Tues- day afternoon of this week. There- fore, it looks very much as if Broth- ers Robinson and Bell, the latter yastor of St. Paul's chureh, who says Robinson's statement Is not wholly rue, will have to settle the ques- tion as to who is “lying,” between hemselves. There Is no denying the ‘act however that unless Brown is emoved from the pastorate of Lane church its future is anything but oright. His support of “Starlight’s candidate (Fleming) for the City Youncil in ward 11 and “Starlight's” candidate for mayor (FitzGerald) has caused a most unfortunate con- dition in Lane church, this particu- Jarly since Bishop C. H, Phillips re- fused to grant the church's request (to move Brown) made at the re- cent C, M. E, conference held in In- Manapolis, A, delegation was sent to that clty with a largely signe petition against Brown which in- eluded the names of many member of Lane church and leading citizen of this city, Move him, bishop “for the good and welfare” of the church and the community. Like Charles H. Crable of Mt, Haven Baptist church, who also opposed the recent fight of the good people to raise the low moral status of ward 11 and better its miserable living conditions, he is thru in this community, The exodus from Lane church cannot fail to continue be- cause the good members of the church warned the bishop that their pastor had placed himself “without the pale” when he allied himself, last month, with “Starlight” Boyd's candidates and thus opposed the peoples’ supreme effort to “un- horse" the control that was directly responsible for what they were so bitterly fighting. Of all the ‘“min- fsters” of our churches, and all others in that’ ward, Crable and Brown were the only ones we heard of that had the temerity to side with the opposition, led by “Starlight,” notorious gambler, etc., ote., ete. LORD, HAVE MERCY! — Bishop Phillips, valuable interests of the great C. M. B, church are being sac- rificed by the retention of Brown, as pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church; this entire commu- nity is being affronted, and the people of ward 11 where - Lane chureh-is located are determined that he shall go or the church will continue to suffer, more than it has already, and this should not be that fone person remain in charge of it. MOVE BROWN! good friend. Lis- ten to the call of your members and thousands of other good people in ward 11 alone to say nothing of the other thousands thruout this great iene: THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 24, 1921 Conver Lad of 10 Years Has Enlarged Thyroid Gland Removed. HAD MAN’S MENTAL SCOPE Advanced Medical Knowledge Inter venes to Help incorrigible Toward The Right Path—Running Away Was His Chief Accomplishment. DENVER, Colo—Belleved to have been saved from a life of crime by the removal of part of an enlarged thyrofd gland in his throat, Maurice Alterson, Denver's 10-year-old “runa- way,” is speedily recovering his physt- cal strength and it 1s confidently hoped by juventle court officers, the mental poise ordinarily developed in youths of his age, Maurice has been considered incor rigible, and his many escapades led Juvenile Court Judge Ben Lindsey to direct an examination into his men- tality in the belief that the boy's habit of running away was due to some psy- chopathie cause rather than any in- herent “badness.” Mental experts declared that the boy had the brain of a man past his majority, despite"his ten years. Maurice, the incorrigible, fell asleep at St. Joseph's hospital amid the daz- aling expansé of strange white tables and the mystifying fumes of ether. When he awoke several hours later his norm of mentality had been re- duced eleven years and the world has been relieved of a potential master criminal, according to the medical experts, Previous to the operation, Maurice's 21-year-old mentality co-ordinated by the judgment and will power of a boy of ten years, resulted in his getting into all sorts of trouble. The mischiet that he perpetrated, guided by the clever man-mind, was more effective than any that could be devised by an ordinary boy. Young Alterson is motherless. His father, a New York Hebrew, came to Denver seeking health. He placed Maurice in a home as the only means of having him cared for and having his wild tendencies curbed. Running away was Maurice's chief accomplishment, and he effected his escapes in every case with a finesse and intricacy of detail that made his apprehension almost impossible and which showed him to be a calculating and extremely accurate thinker. Several weeks ago, Maurice attract- ed much attention witen, after one of his numerous escapes from the deten- tion home, he was caught In Texas and-rought back to Denver. This wos hhis sixth eseape in as many months When captured, Maurice was found to have made a map of his propose? travels, including routes from Denver ‘to Fort Worth and El Paso, Tex., and’ to Los Angeles, Cal,, and various sec- tions of Montana, After a tase of tho “wild and woolly,” Maurice planned ‘to go to New York City. Several vet: eran raflroad men pronounced this map one of the finest route maps they ever saw, declaring that an experi enced railroad man, traveling the same route, could hardly improve 1pon Maurice's work. The map was| made entirely from knowledge found | in railroad. time tables It was this map that prompted | Jndge Lindsey in haying an examina tlon of the boy made by medical ex perts, who later declared he had o mentality eleven years in ndvance 0} his physical age, Following the op: eration for the removal of a part of the enlarged gland, it was announced that the overdevelopment of this gland was responsible for the boy's mentality maturing out of all propor tion to his moral and physical being, It is sald that the operation was ex: tirely successful and it is oxpected that in the future Maurice will be just an ordinary youngster with a youns- /ster’s capacity for mischief, ws the desire to be a “runaway.” WOMAN JURY TOO MUCH.

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa—Fearing to face a woman jury on charge of wife: beating, John Kincaid left home ‘and lived in the woods Mrs. Anna Kincaid, complainant, re. fused to prosecute, taking her hus- band back on his promise to “do any- thing she wanted him to.” Kincaid gave his wife a beating Tuesday, It is alleged. She had him arrested and he demanded trial by jury. Justice Ben G, Swick summoned 18 promi: nent women from which to pick a Jury. Kincaid read in papers of his proposed trial by women and fled.

PARIS.—A doctor who refuses per sonal consultations because he can ar rive at a better opinion of the pa tient’s maladies and sta‘e of health by merely studying his handwritins has been discovered in Paris in the person of Dr. Jean Pitou, member ol the Academfe of Medicine. ‘The discoverer is M. Duparchy: Jeanez, who has written a book on the subject, “Persons who write habitually in lines sloping downward across the pages,” says the author, “are suffer ing from stomach trouble or dyspep: sia. If, on the other hand, your writ. ing is upward, that is, if you com: mence a line low and end it higher, your liver is out of order. “If you have both stomach and liver trouble, your writing will be both up and down and will present a sort of Switch-back appearance. “A bdlotty, stuttering handwriting in: variably indicates heart trouble. Large capital letters, out of all proportion to the rest of the hand, mean that the writer is subject to hysteria, Hypo: chondriasis is indicated by capital ‘M's’ made with a large loop résem- bling a capital ‘U." *“Beware of how. you do busines: with @ man who writes his accents ot apostrophes like a large slanting comma—he is in all probability either a lunatic or will soon become one. “finally, men who sign their names at the left hand of the bottom of their letter instead of the right should be placed under careful super. vision—they will likely attempt sul cide.” Doctor Pitou’s letter bag is increas: ing in size by leaps and bounds.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of It How the "Organization" Tried to Defeat This—"Star light" Boyd's Sudden Death a Great Surprise (Reprinted from our last issue) When the notice of contest, which also called for a recount of the ballots cast for councilmanic candidates in ward 11, Nov. 8, 21, was being filed, last week Wednesday, the clerk in the city clerk's office who protested rather strongly against receiving it (in the interest of Tom Fleming, of course) "because the city council had met, Monday night," showed plainly that the "organization's purpose was to prevent, if possible, the filing of any such document, in spite of the state law that gave thirty days from election day in which to do so. This period did not expire until the following Thursday, Dec. 8, 21 at midnight. If any more evidence was necessary that the notice of contest and recount be barred, if possible, in the interest of Fleming, it was furnished the following after-paper article in which Gus, Hirst, clerk of the board of elections, who after saying "Smith (meaning the editor of The Gazette) is out of luck," unburdened himself as follows: "Unless we receive a duly certified copy of a resolution passed by council, ordering us to preserve the ballots, they will be destroyed Friday. The law provides they must be destroyed within thirty days unless an appeal from our count is pending." While Gus was relieving himself of the foregoing, last Thursday afternoon, knowing full well that there would be no meeting of the Council until the following (last) Monday evening, and "patting" himself and Councilman Fleming "on the back," so to speak, with our attorney, Ex-Congressman Robert Crosser, who was treated in the 8th of last month, and with our bondsman, Mr. Chas, Robinson, a member of the finance committee of the Central body, we were in Judge Maurice Bernon's common pleas court securing a temporary injunction restraining the board of election officials from destroying the councilman ballots of ward 11 until proceedings to contest the alleged reelection of Councilman Thos. W. Fleming have been thanked. We were been thanked both Gus and his hombastic talk to the aforementioned afternoon newspaper reporter look very, very foolish. Our notice of contest was referred to the judiciary and elections committee, Monday evening, by the city council and the ballots cast in ward 11, Nov. 8, '21, were among those saved from the burning of eleven million ballots which took place on the lake front. Last Friday morning, we were in the court gum" in the ward 11 councilman battle and its results were as thoroly satisfactory to the Central Body and the great majority of the residents of ward11 and our people of the entire city, as was the first one, the day before. Last week Thursday afternoon while we were taking the "grim" out of Gus Hirstius, clerk of the board of elections, and proving that he was "out of luck" rather than the writer, "Starlight" Boyd was dying in Mt. Sinai hospital where he often taken a shower from pneumonia which compiled him to take to his bed, the first of the week. This was undoubtedly the direct result of a weakened constitution from loss of rest during the recent campaign. He had not been well since election day, the daily newspapers report his wife as saying. Then, too, it was generally known that "Star," the "organization's" leader in ward 11, worried greatly over the impending defeat of his candidate for mayor (FitzGerald) and that of his lieutenant, Thos. W. Fleming, his candidate for the council in ward 11. There were very few persons in the city who knew of the campaign, especially the last week, but were free to admit the impending defeat of both candidates, particularly Fleming. The result was that "Star" worked practically day and night to "stem the tide." This was impossible. FitzGerald, Councilman Fleming is claiming re-election. Election night it is said, "Star" was with the rough crowd of his followers, led by a band, that tore down part of the fence of his followers, broke the pickets, and the gate was broken, pounded the front door and windows and yelled like wild Indians, then proceeded to the home of Rev. H, C. Bailey, who also opposed Fleming's candidacy, nearly broke down the front porch of his residence and treated its front door and windows similarly. After all this, the crowd went to the sewer being built in Central Ave, near E. 37th St., where it went thru a mock ceremony, burying Rev. Bailey and the writer, and Thompson as master of ceremonies, it is said. Also that it was sure that "Star" walked to the door stooper over and was looking into it as best he could at that time of night, near midnight, when some one asked: "Star what are you looking at?" He replied, it is said, "I am looking to see where Harry Smith is buried." We are told that some one then said to him: "Look out, that some one of you is not buried before the month is out." And just one month to the day, "Star" breathed his last in the hospital. His full name was Albert Duncan Boyd and a young wife and four children survive him. He is survived by his children in the community, "Star" was installed as a ward leader not quite six (not 12) years ago by Mayor, now Gov. Harry L. Davis and Republican County Committee Chairman Maurice Maschke whose Cleveland Plain Dealer write-up of "Star," last Friday morning, was really ridiculous almost in its entirety. It did both the deceased and the paper's management rank injustice. Out of consideration for his family, The Gazette will not attempt a truthful biographical sketch of the deceased and by the Plain Dealer or Maschke were both the News and The Press, local dailies. The funeral, Monday afternoon, at Mt. Zion Congregational church was largely attended as the pastor, Rev. H. M. Kingsley, assisted by L. H. Brown and Chas, Crable, officiating. The last two were the only two ward 11 ministers of color we know of who had the temerity to spey support for the temple, although for council (Fleming) in the recent campaign, Brown's removal was asked of the C, M. E. conference that met in Indianapolis, a few weeks ago, members of Lane church and leading citizens sending a delegation with a petition to Bishop Phillips. Crable is a Baptist, "Star's" remains were interred in Lake View cemetery, for Brownie Church charge. The floral tributes were numerous, and many white politicians were also in attendance upon the funeral, John Perry sang "Dear Old Pal of Mine." Rev. C. Z. Gaines, pastor of the West Side A. M. E. Zion Mission, several weeks ago turned over to the police and the U. S. district attorney several letters, one of which read: "We fear no police. You will die if you don't move out of Cleveland. A coffin awaits you." Rev. Gaines also received letters signed "K K. K," which threatened his life if he did not move from ward S. He formerly held his services on W. 25th St. A week or two before he died. Rev. Gaines says, "I am not going to see him with the councilman (Gallagher) of that ward and tried to get him to have the U. S. authorifies discontinue their efforts to locate the writer and sender of the threatening letters. The editor of The Gazette sent Rev. Gaines to the U. S. district attorney." CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years the Gazette has been the national of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND, FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist does not have the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights to all, and forever long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. EDITOR. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 24, 1921 American Museum of Natural History Plans Great Expedition. Prlmltive Man Started From His Traditional Home on Roof of the World With Sheep and Goats—Origin of American Indians May Be Solved. NEW YORK—Just how man started from the cradle of the race in Asia and migrated over the wide world, following in the tracks of the wild beasts, is to be one concern of a great expedition on which the American Museum of Natural history is preparing to concentrate all its ologies. A stupendous subject is this distribution of life over the globe and so it will be approached from many angles. The geologist, the expert in maminology, the deliver among the human vestiges of the past, are all to have part in it when the program is completed. It may take ten years to finish so great a task, but it will be well worth all the cost if real light is thrown on one point: the origin of the aboriginal inhabitants of the American continent. This expedition will be the outgrowth of the recent quests of Roy C. Andrews of the museum staff in the wilds of the Far East. He has seen parts of China and Mongolia which no other white man, probably, ever beheld. And he has already made much headway in plotting the great zoological migration from the eastern to the western hemisphere. Such is human vanity that we think of man as always the leader when life moves to a new environment. But according to the reading of Nature's archives brought back by this young explorer, the four-footed races were the original pioneers, and our remote ancestors merely followed them in their treks, fearing that they lose these walking meal tickets. Consider the sheep and the goats. Both were identified with man before the dawn of civilization. Their flesh and their wool or hair, and in the case of the goat the milk, have for untold centuries made them of great economic value. One can hardly separate the sheep from the goats in considering them as aids to mankind. The Asiatic expedition headed by Mr. Andrews obtained the skins of several kinds of goat-antelopes, such as the goal, the sorrow and the takin, which are closely akin to our Rocky Mountain goats—which are not goats at all, but goat-antelopes. He also brought back some remarkable Asiatic deer, clearly resembling our own elk, which were called wapiti by the American Indians when the first European settlers reached this continent. The whole story of mammalian migration may be included in the circle of a Big Horn's horn. The primitive man, low-browed and almost inarticulate, seems to have started from his traditional home on the roof of the world, moving with the sheep and the goats who were lured by pastures new upon the steeps. At last came the jumping off place of Asia. Whether we assume that the passage from Siberia was made over the ice or on a land bridge which existed at that time makes little difference, as in any event it is not difficult to account for the winter crossing of Bering Strait, which to this day is only 30 miles in width. Once the sheep and the goats and the other creatures and that uncouth biped man had arrived, migration still continued along the great mountain chains of the Rockies and the Andes, according to this hypothesis. We find certain tribes of the western Indians tending their flocks and herds as they did in the days of Coronado and making blankets and ponchos. Crude looms of the Navajos, of the Kurds, of the old Peruvian and of the tribes of Afghanistan produced textiles which in many instances show methods that are amazing alike in the handling of the wools. There are many links to be found before the chain of evidence of the common origin of man is complete, and yet they are likely to come to light as a result of the world-wide quest now proposed in the name of science. The anthropologist may be able to show that the North American Indians, by the clue of their high cheek bones, are really neo-Mongolians in deerskins, as has been long suggested but never proved; the archaeologist may find in remote Asia still other means of visualizing kinship of the Egyptians, the Chinese and the Arteses. And yet it seems that in the realm of zoology alone there is potentially conclusive proof of the migration from the Himalayan plateau to the shores of Europe and America. "Senator Shortsworthy says we must save the country." "Has he any ideas about the best way to do that?" "No, but he can make a speech on the subject that will hold an audience spellbound for an hour." Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into **Mobs** Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283.

County's right of action against member of mob. 6287. County's right of action against another county. 6288. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 officers 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 p. 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 the family and education of the minor children of such person, and to recover of the county until such children such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed 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 to the widow 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 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (98 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob to be liable to such action. (98 v. 162 10. Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6280. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. But our people will not use it as often as they should but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outery for the passage of the Beatty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, for judgment for $500 five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal has known what was going on in its own town, there would have been in a occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, RACE PREJUDICE!
