Ark.—A thrilling story, typical of Southern outlawry, has been told here by a traveling salesman—a story brought in from the backwoods of Arkansas. According to the narrative, two white women dressed as men with their faces blacked, were killed in the act of robbing a farmer's wife. The narrator related that he stopped at a country home to secure lodging for the night. As no rooms were available in the house, he was lodged in the barn. Late in the night he heard a woman's screams and rushing to the house saw what seemed to be two black men bending over a woman's body, beating her. Without a word of warning he fired and killed the two. Upon investigation they proved to be two white women, wives of well-known farmers in the community.

Price $1.50. To All THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since EDITOR OSWALD G. VILLARD Of "The Nation" Still Wielding the "Big Stick" in our Behalf. Success for a racial movement of our people is predicted in THE NATION of Dec. 28, and various questions and "honest doubts" about the Garvey movement are answered. THE NATION was the first great national weekly to take up our cause, in America and Haiti and throughout the world. Never ceasing to call the attention of its wide group of readers to the injustices and oppressions against which we have to struggle, it reviews our constructive attempt at self-determination, and interprets it sympathetically thus an article by Prof. William C. Pickens. The growth of the Garvey movement is described, with mention of the Black Star Line, the African Communities League, and related enterprises. Even if a republic of Africa should not be realized for many years, it can only be stronger for a solid preparation, says Mr. Pickens. He feels, however, that it would be unfortunate if Afro-Americans should become so absorbed in the international movement as to miss any opportunity of strengthening their position in America. "Ten years ago," he says, "it seemed impossible to get the Germans out of Africa. Something happened, unpredictable and unbelievable. Are the British and French empires less mortal than Germany, seemed ten years ago?"

NEW YORK CITY.—While some fight fans over the country are clamoring for a mill between Dempsey and Harry Wills, Tex Rickard is seriously thinking of matching the champ and Fred Fulton. Rickard, so far, has refused to have anything to do with a battle between Dempsey and Wills. There are some obstacles to the match and while some of the champ's followers claim he could clean up on Wills, the latter is the only logical candidate in sight now. Fulton, Brennan and Martin all want a chance but none of them measures up to the standard of the New Orleans miller. A club of millionaire sportsmen in Honduras is asking for a fight from the champion. $300,000 for Wills-Dempsey Fight Havana, Cuba.—Sammy Tolon, Cuba's leading boxing promoter, announced Dec. 23, '21, through his American agent, Lew Raymond, now in Cuba, a purse of $300,000 for a Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills contest of twenty rounds. The only stipulation made is that both fighters train in Havana one month before the contest. Wills created a sensation here several weeks ago when he stopped "Gunboat" Smith in 1 minute and 7 seconds. That Wills is Dempsey's master, as a pugilist, is the general opinion in this country as well as the U. S. A. McVey's Final Count New York City.—Sam McVey, one of the greatest heavyweight pugilists in the history of the "sport," died last week Friday, in a local hospital, a victim of pneumonia.

McVey's Final Count AN HISTORICAL CHARACTER Our First U. S. Senator and Only State Governor Dead—Had a Wonderful Career. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback died at his home here, last week Wednesday. He came to Washington to live from New Orleans, many years ago, after having been elected to the U. S. Senate from that state and being elected lieutenant-governor, succeeding. for a week or two to the gubernatorial chair while Gov. Kellogg was. absent from Louisiana. He was an exceptionally fine looking man, genial and lovable, and had many friends in almost every part of the country. For many years he was a prominent figure at Republican National Conventions as a delegate-at-large from Louisiana; and as a speaker in national political contests. While he was our first U. S. Senator he was never permitted to occupy his seat in that august body but drew his salary just the same. The Senate majority was Republican at the time. A widow and two sons survive him and are residents of this city. appearance as a serious heavyweight contender was in 1903, when he fought, two twenty-round contests with Jack Johnson, later world's champion, losing both bouts on decisions. In one of these contests, McVey was knocked out in the last half minute of the last round. In the years that followed he met all SAM M. VEY of our heavyweight contenders and many white ones. His ring record is remarkable for the number of bouts with Sam Langford. During the decade beginning in 1911 McVey and Langford fought more than a dozen contests ranging from short no-decision bouts to twenty-round encounters. These were staged in all parts of the world from Australia to South America. Langford was the victor in a majority of them. For many years McVey was the foremost pugilist in France and very popular. He was Georges Carpentier's best teacher even when the latter was in the bantamweight class and was his leading adviser when Carpentier was training for his battle with Dempsey. Recently McVey appeared in the role of trainer and sparring partner for heavyweights training for important contests. Despite his thirty-six years, he retained his boxing skill and hitting powers, and always was in demand in this capacity. DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH Referring to the appointment of Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, O., as a special assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said, recently: "There is plenty of work for Doctor Scarborough to do. He can with profit to Negro farmers, inquire at once into the reasons why Negro demonstration agents receive less pay for the same work than white agents, the Negro agents receiving a maximum wage of "$1,600 per annum and the white agents a maximum of $2,500 and why there is such radical inequality in the distribution of the Smith Lover funds, and other department funds controlled by the Department of Agriculture, the fact being, it is alleged, that only so much of these moneys are allotted to the Negro work and benefit as to keep them in existence. Dr. Scarborough should look into those matters for us." We now have three special assistants to cabinet officers and we reasonably expect that they will assist the race to receive a fair consideration in the matters affecting them.—N. Y. Age. WELLS AND "STIFLED AFRICA" New York City:—II. G. Wells, the noted British novelist, now attending the armament conference in Washington, has written a lengthy paper under copyright, entitled "Stifled Africa," in which he declares the voice of the black peoples throughout the world has been stifled and says that no lasting association of nations will ever exist until that question is properly handled. Among other things he says: "In a previous paper I wrote of certain 'stifled voices' at Washington. There is yet another stifled voice here that I have heard, and to speak of it opens up another great group of questions that stands in the way of any effectual organization of world peace through an association of nations. Until I get some professional advice about this question the association of nations remains a project in the air. This stifled voice of which I am now writing, is the voice of the colored people. As a novelist—a noyclist in my spare time—and as a man very curious by nature about human reactions, the peculiar situations created by 'color' in America have always appealed to me. I do not understand why American fiction does not treat of them more frequently. It is the educated, highly intelligent colored people who get my interest and sympathy. I cannot get up any race feeling about them." LYNCHING RECORD FOR 1921. The records, compiled at Tuskegee Institute by Monroe N. Work, show that there were 72 instances, this year, in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Of these 8 were in northern states, and 64 were in southern states. In 1920 there were 56 such instances, 46 in southern and 10 in northern states. There were 62 persons lynch-murdered in 1921. Of these, 62 were in the South and 1 in the North. This is two more than the number (61) for 1920. Of those lynchbeds were whites. Two Negro women were killed. Nineteen, or less than one-third of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. Four of the victims were burned to death. Three were put to death and then their bodies were burned. The charges against those burned to death were: murder, rape and murder. 2.

E. R. League Asks the Race to Protest the Denial of Civil Rights in the U. S. Capitol Building BOSTON, MASS.—The National Equal Rights League asks all to at once take note of the race-hating Representative Aswell of Louisiana's audacious and impudent demand that citizens be denied service in the government restaurant in the capitol at Washington, D. C., because of color. The League asks that all write to northern congressmen asking them to insist that the restaurant in the House of Representatives building serve citizens regardless of race, in accord with the constitution and the Summer Civil Rights statute of the District of Columbia. The issue is thrust before us—whether the U. S. Congress is to deny civil rights to Afro-Americans. Make Congress meet it. If Congress is playing with us, now is the time to find out.

NEW YORK CITY.—Senate support of the American Marines in Haiti "makes impossible any serious protest by the United States against imperialism by other nations," according to a statement issued by the Santo Domingo Independence Society. The society declared: "The preliminary report of the senatorial commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and Santo Domingo is a desgrace to the United States. Issued immediately after conference with State Secretary Hughes, it justifies and makes part of American public policy the overthrow by force of small and weak nations. It endorses the policy followed in Haiti of using violence to impose on a free people a treaty they would never have voluntarily accepted. It countenances the farces of a dummy president held in place by American bayonets, executing at second hand the will of American military authorities. No decent or workable relations between the United States and Haiti are possible unless the United States withdraws the marines and restores Haitan independence at once." --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

DECEMBER 31, 1921. The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer for the use of the excellent cut of Sam McVey in this issue. Our good old friend, Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, is dead. He is the last of our most prominent figures in this country's history of the last fifty years. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his devoted wife and splendid helpmate of many, many years. It looks very much to us as if the daily newspapers of the country are trying to help the Navy Department get another coat of "whitewash" for the U. S. marines stationed in Haiti and Santo Domingo in recent years. They are apparently trying to influence the U. S. Senate committee now investigating U. S. control of the two little colored republics. Let the truth come out, regardless of whom it favors. That is what the American people want. A HARD TASK A bill was recently introduced in the Italian Chamber of Deputies which reads in part as follows: "Considering that the prestige of the league of nations depends on the confidence of the peoples in it, it is urged that the Government seek appropriate changes in the statutes of the league so as to render its constitution and its functioning harmonious with the aims of democracy." The chief sponsor of the league was forever ranting about democracy and never practising it. Just how that which was intended as a superstate can be rendered "harmonious with the aims of democracy" it is difficult to say, but considering the pititable state of the league today a discussion of the subject would be purely academic. NO FORCE There is no possibility of the use of military force under the new Four-power Treaty, at least for the ten years during which it is to run. At the end of that period the parties to the agreement can again take stock of the world's military situation, and any further understanding that may be entered into can be governed accordingly. Any military operations that could take place in the Pacific would have to depend for success on the fleets of the participants. Inasmuch as the parties to the Four-power Treaty are the four leading naval powers, and their respective fleets will be strictly limited for the full period of the treaty, there is no chance of a naval war among themselves or with other nations during that time. --- CANCELLATION UNTHOUGHT OF A sample of the propaganda calculated to commit the American people to the policy of cancellation of foreign debts due this country is seen in a recent article in the "Washington Star" in which the assertion is made that this country has begun a far-reaching process of retiring America's war debts without depending upon repayment from the Allies. This would leave the ordinary reader to assume that the Harding administration had abandoned the plan of securing repayment and had no hope of using for- eign repayments to help retire the Liberty Bonds. Such an impression would be utterly unfounded. The "Star" makes the above-mentioned assertion in giving an account of the issuance of some treasury certificates which are to take the place of present obligations of the government. That is not payment of the debt; it is merely changing it to a new form, and the debt still remains to be paid either by the American people out of their own pockets or with funds repaid to the American treasury by the Allies who borrowed it. There has been no change in our national policy. Our war debts will be paid, and in the process of paying the Government will depend upon money from the Allies to assist in lifting the load. The United States borrowed the money from its own people to loan to the Allies. To cancel the debt would mean that the entire bonded debt of over $20,000,000,000 must be paid by the American people alone, and that would mean donating more than half that sum to European nations. There is no such intention, and the Harding Administration has so indicated many times. The Allies will be expected to repay the money they borrowed, and it will be used to retire an equal amount of the United States debt. There has been nothing in the utterances of the Harding administration to indicate any thought of ceasing to depend upon the Allies for repayment. The cancellation propagandists are imagining vain things, indeed. MOVE BROWN, BISHOP! Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church is reported as saying in an address at Williams C. M. E. church, this city, Sunday afternoon, that he could not be expected to remove L. H. Brown from the pastorate of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church because the latter "did not vote for Mr. Smith"; that Mr. Smith was his (Phillips') friend, and that if he had been a voter in this city on the recent election day he would have voted for Mr. Smith, of course." Thank you, bishop, for that indorsement, but Brown is NOT being opposed because he "did not vote for Mr. Smith. It is because he allied himself in the campaign with the side of the ward 11 contest which was championed by the most notorious Negro character (gambler, etc., etc.) in the city of Cleveland. His was the side that was fighting to continue the lowest, vilest and most distressing (in ward 11), this city ever knew. Brown, opened Lane church (on a Sunday afternoon) to the leaders of that side of the contest—the only minister in that ward to dare to do so on a week day or Sunday, such was the sentiment and feeling among our other pastors and the good residents of the ward and the entire city, including the great majority of Lane Metropolitan church members. No one was particularly concerned with the way Brown was going to vote, but the members and friends of Lane church were greatly concerned when he arbitrarily opened the doors of the church to "Starlight" Boyd's side of the contest in spite of the earnest protests of the great majority of its members. That act and others equally as serious are what caused them and leading citizens of this city to petition Bishop Phillips and the conference at Indianapolis, last month, to remove Brown, and are what are ruling Lane church now, as far as its membership and its morale are concerned. Scores of members have left the church and joined St. John's A. M. E., St. Paul's Zion A. M. E., Cory M. E., Williams C. M. E. chapel and other local churches in recent months and weeks. Of course if our good friend, Bishop Phillips, wishes to continue Brown as pastor of Lane church in the face of the present sad conditions therein he has the power to do so, but not only Lane but also the C. M. E. Church will suffer great loss. And why should they, just so that man can remain as pastor of Lane church? He has shown himself to be thorny out of harmony with the /good people of ward 11 (in which is located the church) as well as out of harmony with the great mass of church and other good people in this city. Brown's alleged remark at the meeting, Sunday afternoon, if he really did say that "there are no morals in politics," is enough to condemn him from a half dozen viewpoints. We take it, if he is correctly quoted, that he was offering that as a sort of excuse for his alliance with the "Starlight" Boyd side of the recent ward 11 contest. No good excuse, for following such a course, can be offered by any Christian minister to say nothing of others. Move Brown bishop, for the good and welfare of the church.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 31, 1921 HAS TONGUE CUT TO BECOME SINGER Tongue-Tied Italian Has Impediment Corrected to Release Genius. FAVORITE AT HOSPITAL Tells Doctor Some Day He Will Hear Him at Metropolitan Opera House—Is a Singer, a Tenor, But Above All, An Artist. NEW YORK—Seated beside his sunlit hospital bed, dressed in the light blue uniform of the convalescent, Ardulno Muzzi stopped singing at his work long enough to tell of his dreams of fame and fortune, which now seem about to become true, and then as the stranger disappeared from the bright ward broke forth into another full-voiced aria. For, although before he became a patient in the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat hospital, at 210 East Sixty-fourth street, Arduno could be found swinging a heavy butcher's knife in the basement of the Hotel Pennsylvania, he is a singer, a tenor, and above all, an artist. Soon he will be released from the confines of the hospital, which he has made noticeably brighter and more cheerful by his smile and constant willingness to sing in response to the requests of those more sick than he, whose beds surround in that which he spends but little time. And when he goes he will take with him a tongue which had been tied since his birth in Italy and prevented him from pronouncing clearly the words of the operas he knows and sings and loves. Ambitious to earn his way to the top rung of the grand opera stage since he came to this country, six years ago, then a boy of 18, he has saved and saved. But, oh, that is so very slow. And then it all happened —noel—like that! "My mother, a brother, and three sisters all live in Bologna, not far from Florence," he said. "As long as I can remember I have wanted to sing—it is natural. The voice, I am told, it is born in you whether you are a rich man or a butcher, like me. "I studied all the time French and English, for all my family wanted me to become a grat opera singer. Others have done so, why not I? "When I sing I am happy. It is all joy mounting upward! I cannot prevent it. I became a butcher by trade? Yes, but I have always been a singer by love. "Then I came to this country, for they told me to learn English it is necessary to study it where it is spoken. But I needed money to continue my work. Here I cut meat, always cutting meat. I lived with my brother; it was like home. And I song again, as I had in Italy. "We live in a room at 252 West Forty-third street. He, my brother, is a cook; I am a butcher. We work together. And always I save. But it is slow. Then the war comes. I want to go back, but I cannot. So I stay here and cut meat. Sometimes I sing—not so often. My mother she writes all the time 'Come home.' I must go, and I will study in Milan as I have studied here. But it will not be easy. Five, maybe six years, years, I be an opera singer on the stage at last, not before. Before I go I must have my tongue cut, so I may sing the operas well I have learned and love. "I look in the papers and see about a doctor who helps people with—what you call—defecti—yes, that's it Defective speech. He looks at me and asks me why I want him to cut my tongue. "It is all right the way you are; he says, 'what for you want to do that now?'" "Because I cannot sing so well," I told him. "Oh, you sing? Do you sing well? the doctor ask me. "Some day you hear me at the Metropolitan Opera House and say I beat them all," I said. "All right, my son, we'll cut it for you." He patted me on the back. 'And come back on Saturday and we will hear you sing. I have a piano and some one who will play for you.' "I went and sang for him. He liked it, he said, very much. Now he wants to put me through schooling here and then, perhaps, send me to Milan. That is what I desire, Italy calls me." The white-capped nurse, who had sat listening, smiling at his pencil broke in. "We aren't too sure we shall let you leave us. Arduino," she said. "Goodbyy, Caruse," he said, "much obliged for the song bird stuff. When you start knockin' them dead from the stage of the opera house, I'll be there, although I ain't never been to an opera, and I can't say as how I think I'll like it." Arduino smiled and moved about as he helped the nurse as she went from bed to bed giving the medicines prescribed by the doctor. POSSIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT "The bridegroom appeared to be rightfully nervous." "Yes; you see his father-in-law wedding present wasn't certified." C. H. K. CURTIS BE-GAN WITH 3 CENTS Had More Failures Than Successes For a Long Time in Publishing Business. SAW HIS OPPORTUNITIES From Boyhood He Refused to Become Discouraged—Sees Publishing Business Grow to Immense Proportions—He Made His Own Opportunities. PHILADELPHIA—A great many people believe that it is impossible to build up a real fortune or to establish a big, profitable business unless one has considerable capital to begin with an inheritance or money acquired in some way other than by hard, everyday work at ordinary wages. Doubless thousands of men and women have been kept from achieving the fullest measure of success possible for them by just such on erroneous belief—it is erroneous; most of our successful business men, millionaires and captains of industry, started with no capital worth mentioning except their hands and brains, a determination to win success and courage to keep pegging away regardless of obstacles and discourages. Take the cast of C. H. K. Curtis, wealthy Philadelphia publisher, for instance. He began his business career with the insignificant capital of three cents. It is related that when he was a little boy he asked his mother for some spending money for, like all normal boys, he was fond of candy, toys and other gimcracks. Instead of giving what he asked she inquired why he didn't earn money for himself if he wanted some to spend. "May I spend all the money I can make just as I please?" he asked. "Certainly," replied the wise mother, The boy at once began casting about for a way to earn something. He be thought him of the three cents in his pocket and at once started out seeking his fortune. He met on the street a newsboy who had been vainly trying to sell the last three papers of his evening stock and was quite tired and a little discouraged. Cyrus offered him three cents for the lot and got them. He trudged up and down the streets crying his papers and scarcely anyone seemed to be interested. He refused to become discouraged but persisted until after more than three hours he had disposed of the last one. Then he went home, his original capital trebled. He kept on selling papers and by introducing new methods and keeping his eyes open made it pay him better than it did most other newbows. From the business of selling papers he graduated into that of soiling advertising. Then he tried his hand at editing and finally at publishing. He met numerous disheartening failures—there were more failures than successes for a long time—but eventually he got his publishing business established on a sound basis and then had the satisfaction of seeing it grow to extraordinary proportions. To-day the Curtis Publishing Co. is one of the biggest and most important publishing concerns in the world. In the plant in Philadelphia are published the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal and the Country Gentleman, all of them known and read throughout the land. These periodicals of which more than 170,000,000 copies are sold each year belong to Curtis. In addition he owns a controlling interest in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. He has succeeded because of his ability to recognize opportunities and to make them to order where none existed, because of a willingness to work a will to win and a determination to keep everlastingly at it in spite of temporary reverses and in spite of warnings from alleged friends and advisers that his ambitious projects were certain to fail. STUMP-PULLER WANTED. An Efficient One Will Fill A Long-Felt Wax, Want Exerts. MADISON, Wis.—In Wisconsin and other states there are millions of acres of cut-over land that is practically worthless because of the numerous stumps on it. No method so far devised for removing them has been altogether satisfactory, according to an expert of the Wisconsin college of agriculture. A new stump-pulling device that is simple in construction, simple in operation, light in weight and inexpensive is needed, he says. Power machinery, he suggests, should be designed not only to take out the stumps but to pile them. For tough old stumps, he believes, the best methods is to dynamite them and then finish the job with a mechanical puller. IMMODEST DRESS BANNED. Spanish Church Authorities Put Ban On Modern Female Attire. MADRID.—A notice signed by the bishop of the diocese has been circulated through Gaudix, forbidding any woman to enter church unless dressed "In Christian modesty." No woman wearing a gown that exposes her chest and arms or who has a short skirt on or transparent stockings will be admitted, or permitted to partake of communion, it is sated. Clergymen are ordered to refuse absolution to any woman so attired. Beyond the Law. Complete disarmament is urged.

NEW YORK - When Peter Vidovitch, 65 years old, charity guest of the municipal lodging house, died in a hospital here recently, it was learned that he was the possessor of a fortune exceeding $125,000. The old man's belongings were said to comprise $54,000 in Liberty Bonds; $60,000 deposited in Alaskaan Banks; $1,900 in cash; a $5,000 ruby ring; a $5,000 diamond ring; nugget and several deeds to reality in Fairbanks, Alaska.

PITTSBURGH, PA—Believing that he was married, Mike Blochock, of 1192 Bingham street, received a surprise several days ago when he was arrested, charged with illegally living with the woman he believed to be his wife. Yesterday, Mike and the woman in criminal court produced a marriage license, issued in December, 1919, but it was learned that a ceremony had never been performed. When the matter was explained, Mike said that he had believed he was a married man all along but that he was willing to become married if he was not so already. Under the eye of a deputy sheriff, a new license was obtained and the ceremony performed. The case was then dismissed by Judge John A. Evans, who heard the story. GAS FROM STRAW.

Forte's paper, "The Advocate," is apparently "sleeping the sleep that knows no awakening" and has been for the past three weeks. This week will make four. It is the seventeenth race publication to die in Cleveland since the advent of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and has doubledgone on to join "Perfessor Stracona Williams" in Cleveland and "Noomdy Colorized American" in Denver. His defunct local publication known "in life" as "The Journal," which immediately preceded the "perfessor's" paper, "Stracona," tried. convicted and sentenced in this city, landed in the Ohio Penitentiary to which undesirable abode "Noomdy" was sentenced at Toledo, a few years ago, but paroled in that city in time to "slide-step" in part least) the "perfessor's" sad but fully merited experience. Forten can a friend congratulate himself not being compelled to undergo any such experience as those referred to above in connection with his two immediate predecessors in the business, the "perfessor" and "Noomdy." BROWN SHOULD BE REMOVED 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 Lane 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 Lane church its future is anything but bright. His support of "Starlight's" candidate (Fleming) for the City Council in ward I M and "Starlight's" candidate for district I CitzGerald can be most unfavorable, as mentioned in Lane church, this particularly since Bishop C. H. Phillips refused to grant the church's request (to move Brown) made at the recent C. M.

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. M.

A delegation was sent to that city with a largely signed petition against Brown which included the names of many members of Lane church and leading citizens 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 thirst in this community. The exodus from Lane church cannot fail to continue because the good members of the church warned the bishop that he had read the admonition "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.

THERE WERE FEW REGRETS The Captain, a Remorseless Realist, Declares He Was Delighted the Day The Motor Truck Came—Truck Doesn't Eat Its Head Off. NEW YORK—"Yes, they're gone, said the captain, but he did not bow his head. "The annoyin' divils!" he added. "Captain," I quavered, "this is a great blow to me. I come here to interview you on a most moving, an even tearful subject: The passing of the last fire house from the borough of Manhattan. And you have only that to say! Why, this topic has caused the typewriter keys of my co- leagues to tremble like aspens. Salt drops have sizzled on hot plate as the stereotypers in the foundry paused and bent above the stereotyped story of the last fire horse. You see that I am beginning to weep myself as I gaze at the place where the vacant chair—still, I mean—probably is. Well, anyway, you must remember something about them." "I well remember," said the driver, "how lonely they files felt when we sent the team up to Morris Heights last week. But they soon followed. The peace in this station has been excruciating ever since. We get a little sleep and a chance to read. When we had the horses none of us could keep up with the detective stories. You'd be reading like a gentleman and suddenly you'd hear a snort, and there Karl would be in the feed bin. Or you'd feel his nose against your ear. I never did get settled with me copy of "Cornellille" or "Racine" that Karnot didn't begin to whinny for water. They were as mean as human beings, both of them, and they could tell time as well as I. At 12:45 exactly every day, they would begin to make a row, wanting their oats, and we just at the last chapter!" "But the splendor of the glorious animals in action! The magnificent play of the muscles under the glossy horsehair! The straining flanks, the red nostrils, the foam, the sparks struck from flying hoots—or should one say hooves?—all these you must hold tenderly in memory." The driver dropped his eyes pensively upon his boots. "That place where the leather is gone from the toe," he said, "is where Karl used to stamp when I was shaving his foretop. He never missed." "The sweet old horse," I murmured "Had he other little ways?" "Oh, many. After he'd had all he wanted to drink he would reserve a little water to snort at the hand that fed him. Then I had a purple necktie, a beautiful thing given to me by a young lady for Christmas, and I was showing it to the boys when Karl reached out his big teeth and just took it in. All through the war it was a job for us she tremened to keep our knitting straight. If the alarm rang, the team would tear out and through and over everything. A motor has the dog decency to wait." "But when the gong, with its thrilling note shattered the midnight, and the great steeds to tear from their straw and were off and away, was there not an exalted and beautiful sense of comradeship and continuity between man and brute, a vivid impression of devotion to duty and the intensity of living, and so on and so forth!" I cried. "You never saw anything more devoted than that there truck," said the driver, "but it keeps its devotion to its self. It doesn't stand there and eat its head off, fire or no fire. It doesn't stomp and wake you up and keep you worn out waitin' on it. It doesn't try to tear out. People don't keep coming in to pet it and bothering us just at dinner time." "You are mistaken!" he concluded abruptly in a tone that scared the little children of 113th street and much of Amsterdam avenue, who still missed the horses and looked in at the engine house door, reminding one of a poem of Longfellow's that nobody needs reminding of. "We're all pleased that The Last Fire Horse Has Gone From Manhattan," the remoreless realist went on. "We were delighted the day the motor truck came, and the day the team left for The Bronx I read two papers." FEDERAL AID HELPFUL Road Construction Increases on "50 50" Basis of Operation. WASHINGTON, D. C.—During four years operation of the federal aid act, which was originally intended to establish and maintain post-roads, the "50-50" basis of operation has been so successful that road improvements have more than doubled. This year, a total of 633 million dollars is available, the federal appropriation of 267 million being divided among the 48 states. Back in the early days of the republic the people of the states were afraid of anything that looked like too much centralization of power, and they disliked the idea of the federal government building roads, as it was too suggestive of the Old World system of military roads. This "national road" issue was prominent in politics for a long time. Congress, early in the last century, appropriated about seven million for the old "national pike" running west from Cumberland, Md., but there was so much opposit- tion that the grants were stopped in 1838. Now, after nearly a century, we find Uncle Sam again coming to the rescue, and the states are anxious enough to get the money. Which shows that G. Washington and the other fathers were a full century ahead of their time in this as in some other things. NEW TWO-CYCLE ENGINE. Charles M. Schwab Announces Successful Test of American Product. cessful Test of American Product. BETHLEHEM, Pa.—The Bethlehem Steel Co. has successfully tested on one of its ore-carrying ships a new two-cycle internal combustion engine adapted for ships as well as stationary purposes, it has been announced by Chas. M. Schwab. The motor is an American product. The ordinary auto motor is of four-cycle type; that is, each cycle of complete course of the piston consists of four operations. Namely the gas vapor is drawn into the cylinder with the first stroke, it is compressed by the next stroke, it is exploded during the third stroke, and the burnt gases are driven out through the exhaust by the fourth stroke. In the two-cycle motor the operations are simplified and the engine gets twice as many explosions in the same time. NO WAR SHIRKERS. Uncle Sam Won't Have Them as Citizens. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Now that the war is over and there is no danger that anybody will be drafted into the army, aliens who denied all relationship with the United States when asked to fight are seeking to enter the fold of citizenship. They are not finding it so easy as they expected, however, and many applications are being held up. J. L. Hurwitz, a business high school graduate of Washington, was recently refused citizenship because he claimed exemption from war service by reason of his foreign birth. Andrew Lawrence, also of Washington, is another of the same stripe. Department of labor officials have been instrumental, it is said, in the rejection of a large number of this sort. TIED, SWIMS MISSISSIPPI. Ex-Soldier Kicks Himself Across the River: Says It Was Easy. SALEM, Iowa—To show how the soldiers swam rivers in France, Andrew C. Gault of this town, swam the Mississippi river with his hands and feet tied. First changing to the army uniform which he wore for eight months in France Mr. Gault had his friends bind him tightly and cast him overboard. He literally kicked himself across the river, both feet, of course, moving together, while he remained most of the time on his back. He declared that it was easy and that he could have swam back. Moving pictures were made of the achievement. Resurrection Claimed Possible PARIS.—Dr. Tuffier, a celebrated French surgeon, asserts that a heart which has stopped beating for some time can be reanimated by means of "injections of adrenalin in the cardiacal cavity." Delicate operations, he claims, can be performed in the heart tissues without mortal effect. Medical circles are discussing possibilities of saving lives by artificial heart stimulation just as is now practiced by artificial breathing. Gypsies Forced to Move. BALTIMORE—Several hundred gypsies have started moving from the outskirts of Baltimore to a more northern clime on account of the Maryland law that requires them to pay a $1,000 "family fee" or leave the state. They refused to either pay the fee or move into houses, and long trains of wagons, flivers and marching gypsies clad in brilliant colors started on their exodus. $50 a Day For Shearing Sheep. DENVER, Colo.—At the hearing of evidence in a wage dispute here it was learned that as much as $50 a day is earned by expert sheep-shearers. The usual contract price is 17½ cents a "shear," and a good workman with proper equipment can shear as many as 200 a day. Asleep on Telegraph Wires. NEWARK, N. J.—Stretched across a number of telegraph wires and soundly asleep, William Merkle, objected to being disturbed by firemen who went to the rescue. WANDEBER LOSES WIFF. After 20-Year Trip, Man Wants to Settle Down. CHICAGO—After 20 years of wandering over the world William Zeisenhaene has returned to the home of his mother, Angela Angustia Zeisenhaene, aged 79, 1724 Clybourn ave., with the wanderlust completely satisfied. As a result of two decades of tramping over the earth Zeisenhaene has gained the fortune he set out to find. But he has lost his wife of the long ago and two children. Upon his return he learned that his wife married again after mourning him as dead for seven years. But her second husband died a year ago. "I never want to wander again," he said. "But if it is necessary, to find her, I shall begin a search throughout the world. Then there are our children, George and Harry. The latter I've never seen. He was born after I left." Until 20 years ago William was a prosala butcher, operating a shop in North ave. with his brother, Otto. A steady young home man seemed William, married to his school days' sweetheart. But inwardly the wanderlust was strong. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 31, 1921 The gold lure was the first that beckoned him. He left his parents and his wife and went west. He worked in a gold mine, amassed a small sum and sent for his wife. He built for her a little cottage in Cripple Creek, Col., and it was there their first child, George, was born. But the spirit of the open road called again. This time it led him over the world, the trip consuming the years, but bringing him wealth. Finally time cooled the wanderlust. He turned homeward, only to discover what he had sacrificed. To Mrs. Zeisenhaane's second union four children were born. Up to six months ago, he learned, she divided her time between Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs. Frantic messages sent to both cities have brought no response. His brother, who is now manager of the C. J. Guderyahn grocery, 3916 Broadway, asked his friend, Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal court, to help his brother locate his missing wife. WATERFALLS DISCOVERED. Are In Bull Forest, Forest Reserve, Oregon. PORTLAND, Ore.—Not 40 miles from Portland, Ore. three waterfalls totaling 450 feet in height have been discovered on the western slope of the Cascade mountains by officials of the water bureau. That no white man, as far as known, had before seen them is explained by the fact that they lie almost in the center of the Bull Run forest reserve, set aside by Congress in 1892 and closely guarded in order to protect Portland's water supply. No one has been allowed within the reserve except government and city employees, as protection against fire. The geological survey which made a survey of this district some time ago, made no record of these falls, which are said to rival in beauty the Multinomah and other famous Oregon waterfalls. BOGUS NOTES APPEAR. Soviet Russia Planning to Flood the World with Bad Money. ROME, Italy.—Warnings are printed in Italian newspapers against forged Italian bank notes which are being circulated. Several months ago, the Italian government received confidential notice that the Soviet government of Russia was planning to flood the United States, England, France, Italy, Greece and Spain with spainful bank notes in order to pay propaganda expenditures abroad. It was stated that chemists and engravers from Germany were employed to produce the forged notes, which were released from Russia through Scandinavian countries. So admirably designed is the counterfeit money that it is almost impossible to detect it, it is declared. Aritificial Wool. BERLIN—Artificial wool is being made in Germany from wool shreds, shirt fibers and wastes. After being compressed the materials are treated with a cellulose solution and glue. The product is then cut into shreds and spun into yarn. Glycerine is used to make the material more pliable and various other substances are added to make the substitute as nearly like real wool as possible. To Grow Sugar in Cuba. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Within two years, it was announced by the Department of Justice, American sugar refiners will spend as much as $30,000,000 in developing their own sugar plantations in Cuba. The sugar thus produced will be only for the Ameri can market, and the department approves of the plan. The cost of sugar will come down, department officials say, with greater production. Boys Sentenced to Bed Early. WEST ORANGE, N. J.—Six boys found guilty of robbing neighbors' fruit trees received court sentences to go to bed at 6:30 o'clock each evening for 30 days and were ordered an additional punishment of castor oil doses at the discretion of their parents. Japanese Membership Permitted. SAN DIEGO, Cal.—The American Legion here has refused to bar from membership Japanese who served in the world war. "Senator Snortsworthy 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." PORCELAIN COINS. Are Not Practical and German Ex cptions Claim Could Be Failly Faked Are Not Practical and German Expert Claims Could Be Easily Faked. BERLIN. — The proposal to manufacture porcelain coin to the amount of 60,000,000 marks for the German republic has been abandoned. Some already had been produced at the Meissen manufactory and were discs of terra cotta color unglazed and unmilled, but of faultless artistic imprint. Experts of the Reichsbank however, advised the government against their adoption, mainly on the ground that they would be unwieldy in the pocket or purse, could not be easily distinguished by touch, and could not be counted with existing counting machinery. One of the most important points raised in opposition to their use was that they might be imitated without particular difficulty except for a degree of hardness which could be ascertained only by tests by experts in porcelain. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 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 on 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 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 so lynched, and 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, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to the laws of the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 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 lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for the case against. (93 v 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has been, 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. (93 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 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 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching. By mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. 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. The people who use it are often as such 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 outcry for the passage of the Beaty 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: Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 4 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, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no 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. 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, downs itself as the world then says, Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'ruits.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions 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 in our native land, however native we may be, we continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.
