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.

"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.

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.

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.

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 thorly appreciate the remembrance and the good wishes expressed and implied. Merry Christmas to all! It is an old rule to "buy when every one else wants to sell, and sell 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 are almost certain to be worth more soon. --- Henry Ford speaks of the "long discredited doctrine of protection." But protection is all right provided he is the beneficiary. He had the protection of patent laws during the period of development of his huge automobile manufacturig business. Quite likely he has no need of such protection now, for his quantity production is such that he can produce at less cost than anyone else. Many an American industry has been established under a protective law and brought to such a stage of success 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 Congressman Simeon D. Fess who said in a speech, Monday, that "one of the most indescribable lynchings that ever took place in this country occurred in my own state of Ohio. The man had boasted of his activity in prohibiting the liquor traffic and he was treated inhumally beyond description. So this (Dyer anti-lynching bill) is not a bill aimed solely at the south. It is aimed at every state where lynchings occur." The mistreatment of that dry detective (white) who was lynched at Newark, many years' ago, was not a "marker" to the experiences of many Afro-American victims in the South since our good friend, Mr. Fess, has been in Congress. Of course he does not know this but it is nevertheless true. 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 it 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 laws an annual tax burden of $335,200,000 from the hacks of the people. That is $5 for very man, woman and child in the country. Income tax payers will be permitted additional exemptions, on account of dependents, of $30,000,000, and on account of being heads of families their tax bills will be cut $40,000,000. Men of large incomes will be relieved to the extent of $60,000,000 because of decreased surtaxes. A burden of $260,000,000 in excess profits taxes has been taken from industry, and transportation costs have been lowered $270,000,000. Movie fans and others who attend the theaters have been granted relief to the extent of $20,000,000 in admission taxes, and those who frequent the soda water fountains have had the cost of their beverages reduced $26,000,000. Complete financial relief for everybody cannot be compressed within the limits of a single piece of legislation, but the new internal revenue law is a tremendous step in that direction. "UNCLE SAM," THE GOOD SAMARITAN! It is well that in his message to Congress recommending an appropriation for the aid of starving citizens of Russia, President Harding made it clear that this aid to Russian people is not to be construed as even an inferential endorsement of the present governing power in that fortunate nation. The United States has ever been the friend and willing aid of the distressed. Those Russians in whose behalf the President asks an appropriation are the residents of the Valley of the Volga which suffered a severe drought during 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 government of Russia nor tolerate the propaganda which emanates therefrom, but we do not forget the traditions of Russian friendship. We may put aside our consideration of all international policies and fundamental differences in government, the big thing is the call of the suffering 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 their hold over the people or perpetuate themselves in power. It is perhaps pertinent to remark in this connection that the United States has today 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 Russia 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 drought in one of the great grain-producing sections of Russia. A Mr. Robinson, a former member of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church but now a member of St Paul's A. M. E. Zion church, this city, told Revs. R. B. Vinson, L. E. Shy and others, last July, that thirty-seven (original) C. M. E.'s and those that were not "original") members of L church had left Lane and joined St Paul's. This is true, Rev. Vinson assured the editor of The Gazette in its office on Tuesday afternoon of this week. Therefore, it looks very much as if Brothers Robinson and Bell, the latter pastor of St. Paul's church, who says Robinson's statement is not wholly true, will have to settle the question as to who is "lying," between themselves. There is no denying the fact however that unless Brown is removed from the pastorate of L church its future is anything but bright. His support of "Starlight" candidate (Fleming) for the City Council in ward 11 and "Starlight" candidate for mayor (FitzGerald) has caused a most unfortunate condition in L church, this particularly since Bishop C. H. Phillips refused to grant the church's request (to move Brown) made at the recent C. M. E. conference held in Indianapolis. A delegation was sent to that city with a largely signe petition against Brown which included the names of many members of L 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 L church cannot fail to continue because 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 "unhorse" the control that was directly responsible for what they were so bitterly fighting. Of all the "ministers" 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., etc., etc. LORD, HAVE MERCY! Bishop Phillips, valuable interests of the great C. M. E. church are being sacrificed by the retention of Brown, as pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church; this entire community is being affronted, and the people of ward 11 where L church 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 one person remain in charge of MOVE BROWN! good friend. Listen to the call of your members and thousands of other good people in ward 11 alone to say nothing of the other thousands throut this great city. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 24, 1921 OPERATE TO AVOID LIFE OF CRIMINAL Denver Lad of 10 Years Has Enlarged Thyroid Gland Removed. HAD MAN'S MENTAL SCOPE Advanced Medical Knowledge. Intervenes to Help Incorrigible Toward The Right Path—Running Away Was His Chief Accomplishment. DENVER, Colo.—Believed to have been saved from a life of crime by the removal of part of an enlarged thyroid gland in his throat. Maurice Alterson, Denver's 10-year-old "runaway," is speedily recovering his physical strength and it is confidently hoped by juvenile court officers, the mental poise ordinarily developed in youths of his age. Maurice has been considered incorrigible, and his many escapades led Juvenile Court Judge Ben Lindsey to direct an examination into his mentality in the belief that the boy's habit of running away was due to some psychopathic cause rather than any inherent "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 dazzling expanse of strange white tables and the mystifying fumes of ether. When he awoke several hours later his norm of mentality had been reduced 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 mischief 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 attracted much attention when, after one of his numerous escapes from the detention home, he was caught in Texas and brought back to Denver. This was his sixth escape in as many months. When captured, Maurice was found to have made a map of his proposed travels, including routes from Denver to Fort Worth and El Paso, Tex., and to Los Angeles, Cal., and various sections of Montana. After a tase of the "wild and woolly," Maurice planned to go to New York City. Several veteran railroad man pronounced this map one of the finest route maps they ever saw, declaring that an experienced railroad man, traveling the same route, could hardly improve upon Maurice's work. The map was made entirely from knowledge found in railroad time tables. It was this map that prompted Judge Lindsey in having an examination of the boy made by medical experts, who later declared he had a mentality eleven years in advance of his physical age. Following the operation for the removal of a part of the enlarged gland, it was announced that the over-development of this gland was responsible for the boy's mentality maturing out of all proportion to his moral and physical being. It is said that the operation was entirely successful and it is expected that in the future Maurice will be just an ordinary youngster with a youngster's capacity for mischief, without the desire to be a "runaway." WOMAN JURY TOO MUCH. Alleged Wife-Beater Takes To the Tall Timbers When It Is-Proposed. 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. His son found him the next morning and acted as emissary between father and mother. The first woman jury in Pennsylvania was out of a job. "Guardas" Sit. Passengers Stand. GUARDS SIT, Passengers Stand. BUENOS AIRES—Street car conductors in Buenos Alres are now able to sit down while not collecting fares. The "city fathers" passed an ordinance some time ago requiring the street car companies to install hinged seats to the platform structure for the exclusive use of the conductor. This equipment has made its appearance and the "guarards," as they are called in Spanish, are enjoying the novelty of sitting down while rush-hour passengers on the platforms stand up. There's a Difference Mistress—"When I engaged you, Susan, you told me that you had no male friends. Now, almost every time I come into the kitchen I find a man here." Susan—"Bless you, mum, he aint no friend of mine!" "Then who is he?" "My husband." HANDWRITING DIAGNOSIS. Paris Physician Tells Health From Patient's Chirography. PARIS.—A doctor who refuses personal consultations because he can arrive at a better opinion of the patient's maladies and state of health by merely studying his handwriting has been discovered in Paris in the person of Dr. Jean Pitou, member of the Academie 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 suffering from stomach trouble or dyspepsia. If, on the other hand, your writing is upward, that is, if you commence 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 blotty, stuttering handwriting invariably indicates heart trouble. Large capital letters, out of all proportion to the rest of the hand, mean that the writer is subject to hysteria. Hypochondriasis is indicated by capital 'M's made with a large loop resembling a capital 'U'. "Beware of how, you do business with a man who writes his accents or 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 supervision—they will likely attempt sulcide." Doctor Pitou's letter bag is increasing in size by leaps and bounds. KU KLUX KLAN REVIVED. Civil War Organization Chartered in 1915 in Georgia. LEXINGTON, Ky.-From a letter received here, it seems that the Knights of the "Klu Klux Klan", which operated in the South soon after the Civil War, is being revived. The letter bears the head "Imperial Palace, Invisible Empire, Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, incorporated, Atlanta, Ga." The letter says representatives of the clan will arrive in Kentucky within a few days to form local organizations. Colonel Williams K. Simmons, of Atlanta, Imperial Wizard, is sending out the letter which says that The Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, which is a reorganization of the order that swept the carpetbagger and scalawag from the South in the days of the re construction period, was formed in Atlanta in 1915. "Simmons, Professor of Southern History at Lanier University in Atlanta, met with 34 friends and they signed a petition for a charter," the letter declares. "The organization assembled on top of a stone mountain near Atlanta and there at midnight, under a blazing fiery cross, they took the oath of allegiance to the invisible empire, as Knights' of the Klu Klux Klan. The charter was issued by the State of Georgia, December 4, 1915. "While conditions to-day are not the same as they were when the original Klan was organized, the need for an organization of this character is just as pressing now as it ever was." PRODUCE THE WOMAN Woman Stowaway, Wife of Ship's Cll er. Detected by Lingerie. NEW YORK. Although cleanliness is regarded as next to Godliness, the observation of this rule of life was the means of bringing Mrs. Lena Petshelt of Bordeaux, from the freighter Remus to Ellis Island. She came over as a stowaway on the vessel without baggage and when the voyage on the sooty freighter was ended Mrs. Petshelt washed her clothing and hung it in the ship's engine room to dry. Her lingerie attracted the attention of immigration inspectors, who demanded that the owner of the clothing be produced forthwith. The skipper of the vessel caused a search which revealed her. The woman was taken to Ellis Island and was followed by Karl Petshelt, one of the ship's oilers, who was born in this country. He proved that he had married the woman in September, 1919, and, being the wife of an American citizen, she was released by the board of special inquiry. Mrs. Petshelt later started for Chicago. SOME GAMBLING. Many Millions Wagered at Deauville France Profit Show PARIS—The astounding figures revealing the extent of the gambling orgies of Deauville are available to-day from the report of the race track and the casino. The total receipts of the parl-mutuel machines, through which the racetrack betting was done are $6,000,000, showing that more than $65,000,000 was wagered during the few days of the racing. The profits of the casino for the season were $5,000, indicating that a total of $100,000,000 crossed the bacearct tables, the rake-off of the house being 5 per cent. 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 throat 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.

HILL COMPANY, DETROIT (1000) TO SPREAD CONSTITUTION. Prominent Men Are Officers of League To. Foster Knowledge. WASHINGTON, D. C.—To place a copy of the constitution of the United States "in each of the 20,000,000 homes in America" is the purpose of the new Constitutional League to America.

It is the desire of the league to bring about a more general knowledge of the constitution and to encourage its use as a model for self-government in industrial plants and elsewhere. PATENT OFFICE BUSINESS One of the Few of Uncle Sam's Offices That Pay a Profit. WASHINGTON, D. C.—During the last fiscal year, applications for patients numbered 82,000, an increase over the previous year of almost 20,000; application for registration of trademarks and labels increased 10,000. Patents granted and trademarks and labels registered were over 47,000 an increase of 4,000. The net surplus for the year was $2,600,000. The patent office is one of the few of Uncle Sam's offices which pay a profit. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinching face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

The campaign liar is still abroad. We have heard of one or two confirmed rascals who are about re- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 24, 1921 peating the miserable circular lies and small-lying talk against the editor of The Gazette indulged in during the recent campaign in ward 11. Remember that a thief is always a liar and a liar as too often a thief. So beWARE of that kind of a coyote or skunk. The Central Body of ward 11 is NOT allied with the alleged "Bishop" or any other independent Republican organization in the making ofade. At its meeting, last week Thursday, it unanimously adopted a resolution to the effect that it would not ally itself with any political organization until its fight in the courts for justice is finished. That ward 11 councilmanic contest is yet to be settled. This was a wise move on the part of the Central Body. The Cleveland Y. M. C. A. has been given control of the "Lend-A-Hand" Mission building, cor. Cedar Ave. and E. 77th for "Y" white and colored boys, not men. Capt.

After being held a prisoner in county jail nearly three months, Mattie Henderson. 2705 Central Ave., was released, Monday, when it was discovered there was no charge against her. When she was released, however, she knew no more about the reason for her being freed than she did about why she had been kept in jail. "Someone" discovered her name among the prisoners in county jail. She was ordered brought to Judge Dan B. Cull's court room. A search of the records revealed the fact that the grand jury had returned a "no bill" in her case, Oct. 11. A release from the clerk's office calling on the sheriff to free the woman was issued, but none of the deputy sheriffs would say he ever saw it. She was arrested, Sept. 21, charged with cutting to wound and bound over to the grand jury by Judge Cull, who accused the jury failed to indict her. Since that date, the woman has occupied a cell in county jail. When she appeared in Judge Cull's courtroom and the judge was unable to find any charge against her, she was released.

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.

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.

(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!
