The supply is limited and it constantly grows less. FOR THESE REASONS it has been and is our aim to give you our knowledge of natural gas and ask your co-operation in using it. THE PLAN of a sliding scale of rates grew out of our experience. It was proposed by us to help service and conserve supply. THE PRESENT PRICES, which are temporary, do not yield us a fair return, but the sliding scale did bring about good service, as we knew it would.

THE EAST OHIO GAS "BERT" WILLIAMS DEAD! Pacumonia Kills the Noted Comedian—Death in New York Follows His Collapse on the Stage in Detroit. MARLIN, TEXAS, (Wednesday, March Earthly Smith was dollars for driving his the fire hose at the h New York City.—Egbert Austin Williams, 45, known to the theatergoers as "Bert" Williams, the greatest comedian on the American stage, died at his home here, last Saturday night, after failing to respond to a blood transfusion operation. The cause of death was given as lober pneumonia. At the bedside when the end came, were Mrs. Lottie Williams, the actor's wife, and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams. "Bert" was playing in Detroit at the head of his own company in "Under the Bamboo"Tree," when he was taken ill, last week. Monday, and collapsed in the theater. When his condition did not improve, on last week Wednesday he was sent to his home in this city with a private nurse in attendance. On last week Friday night, the family was told by the attending physician that the only hope for Mr. Williams was to undergo a blood transfusion operation. William Vodery, a business associate and lifelong friend of Williams, volunteered for the blood. The comedian did not rally from the operation as was expected. He was born in Antigua, Nassau, British, West Indies, and was taken to California by his parents when young. He made his first success on the stage in the team of Williams and Walker, in Koster & Blaal's music hall in this city. Walker died several years ago. One of Mr. Williams' first individual successes was in "My Jonah Man." He had appeared in Ziegfeld productions for the last few years. Two funeral services were held. The family service, on Tuesday afternoon, at St. Phillip's church and a second ceremony on Wednesday afternoon, under the auspices of St. Cecile lodge, Masons, of which he was a member. Scores of telephone and telegraph messages of sympathy were received by the widow, and many members of the theatrical profession personally paid their last respects to the, great entertainer's memory. Hon. John P. Green addressed the Men's club, recently organized at Mt. Zion Cong. church, last week Thursday evening. He was well received.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FROM SCOTLAND'S Oltest School of Medicine, the Oldest in the World, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. The following is a letter received by Dr. E. J. Gunn of this city from Dr. A. H. Stephenson Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland, whose whereabouts will be of interest to those of the city, especially those of the profession, who may know him: Cleveland, Ohio, U. S. A. Hello "E. J." Well I am sure that you will be surprised in realizing this from me. This ever moody and myself were talk about the good old days a dear Marhary and of our batcher when we started to speak of you and so I decided to look up your address and send you a line of remembrance. By the above address you will see where we are. We came over here in Sept. and started studies in October. We are here studying to get the degree of licenciate of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and of the Royal Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. Glaseow. It is a triple qualification. Horsham is at Glaseow studying for the same thing. Getting this qualification will entitle me to practice in any part of the British Empire and almost the whole world. This is the oldest college in the world for medicine. It was established in 1505. I can assure you that you have no idea of the teaching here. It is of a very high degree. We expect to find two years before taking the final. Himes of the class of the is here. and Wills is at Glaseow. I have Cosey and Novell are all of coming over. The most interested in the school is the Social Infirmary. It has 300 beds and equipped with the latest and most modern facilities. Some of the world are here. There are about two medical students in the college. The medical department of the University of Edinburgh has about 2000 students, so you can judge what large body is here. Well I think that I have given you some idea of the medical part of the city. This is a fine city, peculiarly laid out. All of the streets are paved with stones and the buildings are all of stone; no bricks anywhere. The people are friendly. There is no color line here. There are no colored families here. This is indeed a fine country. The colored students here come from all parts of the world. This is a real cosmopolitan body. There are Russians, Egyptians, East Indians. (Continued on page 2) IN UNION WE IS STRONG A Marvel in Languages and Learning, Says Miss Marie Jensen, Methodist Missionary Just Returned NEW YORK CITY.—Negro intellectual possibilities has another example to add to its long list in the person of Mutumbu, a fourteen-year old boy of the Alunda tribe in "Darkest Africa," according to Miss Marie Jensen, missionary to the Congo under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, just returned to this country. This boy is a native of one of the most isolated parts of the Dark Continent. His home is at Musumba-wa-Mwata Yamvo, (City of the Prince of Death), capital town of the Alunda tribe of the Congo Belge. It is situated more than 300 miles northeast of the northernmost end of the Cape-to-Calro Railroad at Bukama on the Upper Congo River. And there is no way of travelling through this territory save by foot or bicycle through the jungle paths. It requires a month's steady trekking, by caravan of native carriers who march with packs of baggage upon their backs, to reach Mutumba. At the age of five years Mutumbu was taken in by Dr. Arthur L. Piper, the new medical missionary at Mutumba. Being an orphan, Mutumbu has since resided in the Piper household and the daily contact with the missionaries at the Methodist station—which has since been founded there and is in operation—has developed the mind of Mutumbu far beyond the average child of his years. The little boy did his best to be of service about the new mission station where everyone worked at all kinds of manual labor to establish some form of civilization in that wild land. He aided in the kitchen and garden, ran errands for the workman building the houses and school-building of sun-dried brick. When the mission station began active work for the good of the people about, Mutumbu had made himself a part of the institution. He attended school and studied assiduously, and worked to learn to aid Nurse Jensen in the dispensary where his people came to have their wounds dressed and their ills healed. Speaks Seven Languages. Mutumbu has picked up a variety of learning beside what he gleaned from the white folk. He speaks five other native languages Mbundu, Chituba, Swahili, Bichokwe and Kanyok, in addition to his own Alunda) and English. He writes in both—the latter language well. Whenever strange chiefs come to the mission from the far depths of the jungle speaking in a strange tongue which confuses the regular interpreters of the missionaries, someone always says: "Call Mutumbu; he knows." And Mutumbu generally does. He comes and acts as "pinch" interpreter. So well has Mutumbu learned the lore of the gospel as it is taught in the mission station that he is often called upon to lead the services at the little mission church, and he does so with a simple dignity that is quite impressive. When Bishop Johnson of Africa visited Mumbaum he made Mutumbu his protege and has done much for him in the gifts of books and other means of self-improvement. Mutumbu is anxious to get a real education, believing that he can better aid his people in this way. Working with Miss Jensen supervising, Mutumbu translated fifible stories and more than a hundred hymns into the native language. He was of material aid to Rev. T. B. Brinton who translated the first three books of the New Testament, and alone he has successfully translated the entire life of Christ. He learned to use a typewriter. When he was given a Bible of his very own, brought to him by Miss Jenson from Bukama. Mutumbu was overjoyed. He often reads it to groups of his people his own age and adults, for he is honored and listened to by all. Wants a Pair of Shoes. Since arriving in this country Miss Jensen has received a letter from Mutumbu. He wants her to bring him just one thing from civilization, since she can't bring him a modern education in a box. He wants a pair of shoes so that he can walk through the jungle to other villages and teach his people. He tells her that his people have been sick in large numbers and Dr. Piper treats more than thirteen hundred cases a month. Miss Jensen is trying to take back some other things to Africa. She is studying simple methods of spinning, and weaving cotton into cloth. The situation at Musumba is pitiful in the extreme. There is very little money and few things for barter in that wild country. The people only earn about a frame a day, or about twenty cents in normal times, and seven cents at the present rates of exchange, and cloth there, when it can be procured, is held by the Portuguese trader for something like two dollars a yard. It is only the filmmest kind of material, lusting but a short time. Miss Jensen believes that if she can procure a few hand looms and spinning wheels she can teach her young women converts to make cotton into cloth for the benefit of the great mase of unclothed people. In this way she hopes to start the industry of cloth. SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) MARCH 11, 1922 So far as dollars and cents are concerned, the present administration will realize very little benefit from the limitation of armaments agreements. The big savings will be shown in years to come—each year and every year. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Ala. N. & I. S. School, to attend, on April 5, 1922, the unveiling of the $25,000 monument to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and would like to accept it. We shall do so, if it is possible to spare the time to make the long trip. POST MORTEMS There is a new periodical in the bookstalls entitled "The Wilsonian," described as "a national monthly publication that champions the ideals and policies of our great ex-President." He must be a courageous editor, indeed, who anticipates any considerable number of subscribers to such a magazine. One might as well dedicate a paper to the teachings of Voliva of Zion City. The policies of one are no more "discredited than those of the other. BRINGING HOME THE BACON. The first cargo of Egyptian cotton to be carried to the United States on an American vessel has arrived. The cargo is worth $6,000,000 and was shipped from Alexandria. This is the first practical evidence of the determined efforts of the Shipping Board to secure for American ships a fair proportion of the Egyptian cotton trade. It meant a long fight with the British shipping interests that have enjoyed a monopoly of that commerce for many years. Yankee persistence and aggressiveness finally won out, as they have in every other phase of Chairman Lasker's struggle to win and hold a proper place for the American merchant marine. BULLOCK FREED AGAIN. Matthew Bullock has been set free by Canada. North Carolina is deemed unfit to mete out justice toward Matthew Bullock. What a commentary upon the civilization of the South. The governor of North Carolina "believes" justice can be meted out in his state. The governor may be fair-minded but he has no power to direct the blased minds of judges and foreworn juries. The governor cannot protect his own life when a mob of his race gets its appetite sharpened for blood. Southern white men are not to be trusted with the just administration of law. Every governor of every state outside of the South should consider this slap of Canada at American race injustice. No colored man should be returned to a southern state for any crime because by so doing he is sent back to be murdered or to be given farcical trial. The South must change its course or be ostracized by all lovers of law. "BILLY" SUNDAY. According to the Associated Press, Rev. "Billy" Sunday of acrobatic evangelistic fame, while orating in Spartinburgh, S. C., cried out in one of his frenzied utterances touching the race issue: "I believe in white supremacy." "Billy" Sunday stopped playing baseball, as a profession, to take up evangelism in order that he might "save souls." His doctrines and beliefs jibe with the community he is preaching in, it seems. There is, apparently, nothing fixed about him and his beliefs but a big pocket when the show is over. "Billy" Sunday knows that "white supremacy" means a reign of terror by southern white brutes out of which comes lynching with all of its horrors. "White supremacy" means disregard of all law, prescription, ballot-box stuffing, lying, stealing and almost every crime known to a civilized world. "Billy" Sunday believes in THIS, according to the Associated Press. Yes, he believes in more—he believes in adapting his preaching to the itching ears of his hearers regardless of their mental attitude towards right, it is said. A sharp eye should be kept on this "commercial" evangelist while he is in the South for fear he might put his alleged belief into practice by helping to lynch-murder some Colored man in order to help satiate the thirst of the bloody white supremacists. ENGLAND COMES THROUGH Twenty-five million pounds sterling will be provided for in the next British budget to cover six months interest on Great Britain's debt to the United States. It is expected that further sums will be devoted to that purpose before the year is out. A number of Frenchmen in authority are reported as saying that France can never pay her debt of $3,500,000,000 to us. Great Britain has pared her army to the quick, and she took prompt steps to curtail naval construction to accord with the Washington conference. France continues to maintain an army said to number about 800,000, although Germany has been practically disarmed and her people are expending their energies in the direction of commercial conquest of arms. The French attitude is anomalous. France could probably make appreciable payments on her debt to the United States if she would scale her army 50 to 60 per cent, a proceeding which would be justified by support which she has been promised from Great Britain in case the exigency should arise. Her excuse for maintaining her large army is fear of Germany. If this excuse were justified by a future attempt of Germany to conquer France, she might have the army, but the repudiation of her debts would make it highly improbable that she could secure a war loan in such an extremity. If her fear of future German aggression should prove to be a bogey, she would have expended huge sums in the upkeep of an army of inexcusable size during the years when she most needed the contribution of every available producer, added to which would be her unenviable record as a debtor nation. It took but a year for France to pay an indemnity of one billion dollars to Germany following the Franco-Prussian war. Every French inhabitant contributed to the sum, Strange to say, hatred of Germany hastened the settlement. Is the professed love of France for the United States to prevent a settlement with us? THOUSANDS TURNED AWAY New York City.—Five thousand persons were unable to gain admittance Tuesday to St. Phillip's Episcopal church to attend funeral services for Bert Williams, America's greatest comedian, who died Saturday. More than 2,000 persons, headed by a squad of police, followed the hearse to the church. Services were attended by Hutchins C, Bishop. Many persons prominent in the theatrical world attended. BERT WILLIAMS' FUNERAL Masons Honor Memory of America's Premier Comedian. New York City.—A throng which filled the temple of St. Cecilia Masonic lodge and overflowed into the street, Wednesday, attended funeral services for Egbert Austin ("Bert") Williams, the great comedian, who died Saturday. Scores of his former associates, officers of the lodge and prominent members of both races who had come from southern and western states accompanied the body to Woodlawn cemetery. Mr. Williams was a member of Waverly Lodge No. 597 of Scotland, and it was at the cabled request of the lodge that the services were held at St. Ceceli's, known as the theatrical lodge of the city. His Masonic sheepskin apron, received in Scotland, was placed on the coffin. An orchestra from a Broadway theater played the funeral march and soloists from some of New York's most exclusive churches chanted the Lord's prayer. Cat Came Back. PARIS.—How long can a cat live in a dark hole without food? The answer is twenty-five days, according to accounts in the Paris press of a cat's adventure. Twenty-five days ago a mason mending a rainpipe system on the church of St. Ambrose closed up which was not to be discarded. Yesterday it was opened again and from it emerged a blinking, emaciated cat, staggering on feeble legs. The animal had scarcely strength to lap warm milk hastily precured by the workmen from a neighboring cafe, but by its sufficiency it was sufficiently recovered to attend to its toilet and wash its face.

But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, has the rest of mankind more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent. PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsey New York City—Jack Dempsey was at the Hiphorme here, last Thursday night, when informed of Wills' victory over Norfolk. When he said: "about boxing the former, he said: 'light anybody, white, black, red on yellow, the kind of purse is put up.' Gov Edwards of New Jersey who was present, said: "Yes, and I'll make you keep your word about fighting him (Wills), too." The belief is that New Jersey is quite likely to be the scene of the battle between the two, sometime this summer.

The Acme basket quintet had a very easy time winning over the Brecksville, O. five (white), Monday night at Eagles hall, before a capacity crowd. From the whistle it was just a question of how big the score the Acmes could run up in allotted time. Hampton and Ramsay were in the victory. Final score, 51 to 9. Tokalons were in another hard battle, losing to the Glenolas in the last three minutes of play. Score, 29 to 16. Although outweighed, the youngsters put up a great game, Dixon and Williams being prominent. Treat Tokalons Rough. Springfield, O.—The Tokalon basketball five of Cleveland were defeated by eight points, in a fast and rough game with the Springfield Y boys before, last Monday night, before a large crowd. Score, 29 to 31. The lightweight Toks immeiately rushed into a six-point lead over the heavyweight locals and this so "bited" the Y boys that they played the toughest games ever seen here. The Y boys Capt. Norris, and the referee got so "award" that the Cleveland manager had to threaten to take his team from the floor. "Bud" Mitchell, assisted by Dixon, played a great game for the Tokalons and got a great hand from the crowd. Tuesday night at Xenia, the Toks were completely out of class with SHIPS THAT FATTEN SAILORS Modern "Tankers" Are Now Blamed for Added Weight Taken On by the Seamen. Shipping experts continue to argue regarding the advantages of oil fuel over coal. At present the question is occupying the attention of medical men. The adverse effect of oil fuel upon such surfaces as steel, canvas, rope and other shipping accessories are widely known; ships' doctors are now divided on the question as to whether it is harmful or beneficial in its effect upon sailors, a writer in London Tit-Bits states. Sailors on oil-fed vessels are fatter and plumper than those who work on coal-fed ships. Some naval surgeons declare that the fattening effect is produced by the slight fumes exuded by the dormant oil fuel; others ridicule the suggestion, and maintain that the former are fat simply because they have less work to do. "Coaling ship" is one of the finest exercises in the world for reducing superfluous flesh. It is hard work that has to be maintained at high speed all day. Ships vie with each other in getting their coal aboard in record time, and even after the operation is finished the sailors still have a few more ounces of avoiddupois to work off in cleaning up the mess below decks. Usually three days are occupied in cleaning a vessel after a bout of "coal ship." On the other hand, oil-fuel ships perform the task in about three hours. Doctors are asking themselves: "Is the fat a healthy fat, or an injurious parasitic growth?" If a hammock is splashed with oil fuel, all the scrubbing and boiling in the world will not prevent a hole from appearing in it; and if it eats through double-ply canvas, what will oil fuel accomplish in the case of human beings?

SEATTLE.—Michael Notan, 43, a student in the engineering department of the federal board of vocational training at the University of Washington, former sailor and lumberjack, has established a new record in the mary's "alpha" intelligence test with a perfect score of 212 points in thirteen minutes. The best previous student was 206 and the average for university men and army officers is 135, according to local psychologists. The general information tests recently formulated by Thomas Edison and given wide publicity throughout the United States would have been easy for Nolan, according to university psychologists. He recently passed perfectly in one minute and ten seconds an information test of slaty questions. One of the questions asked was the meaning of simony: Ageratum, architrave, chamber cleistogamous, olheim, garbit, guit, impe, intaglio, metacarpal, mitosis, nada, nomology, rococo and simony. Dempsey Ready. Acmes Win. the big American Legion five, and the latter easily won, 38 to 12. There also, the up-state boys got rough treatment, but put up a game fight against their heavier opponents. Wills, Kayo's Norfolk NEW YORK CITY—Harry Wills, for most contender for the world's heavyweight title, scored an easy knockout over Kid Norfolk of Baltimore, our light "heavy" champion, in the second round of their scheduled 15 round decision bout, at Madison Sq. Garden, last week Thursday night. A short right to the jaw after twenty-six seconds of fighting in the second round dropped Norfolk to the canvas. The sudden ending of the main battle was disappointing to a large crowd of 14,000 that packed the Garden. Jack Lawrence, sport editor of the N. Y. Tribune said: "Wills' drives had speed, force and direction. When he was within the range of fire Norfolk had no chance. He was completely outclassed and it can be said truthfully that Wills showing was not only most impressive, but was a surprise even to his close admirers." Pete Willett, captain of the Central High basketball team, has played a wonderful game, since his reinstatement three or four weeks WILLETT ago. He showed his usual form last Friday, although East Tech won. Pete is an all-round athlete being very good at football, baseball and track work. Brief Sport Notes.

MAY LIGHT ROADS Public Highways Are to Be Illuminated by Electricity CHICAGO.—Development of electrical illumination in all its varied phases—lighting of homes, stores, offices, factories and streets—has offices, factories and streets in the last year, according to reports submitted to the Nationa. Electric Light Association. Oliver R. Hogue, of Chicago, an official of the Commonwealth Edison Co., said illumination of the country highways is the next step. "This news is of the greatest interest not only to the rural dweller but to the motorists," said Mr. Hogue. "With ever increasing night traffic on our highways there has been a more insistent demand for a lighting unit that will properly economically light a country road." The committee on electrification of steam railroads submitted its report through Louis A. Ferguson of New York. Frank J. Smith of New York, inventor of the overhead trolley system, and a member of the committee, said that the electrification of all railroads will come soon. It was announced that $21,000,000 worth of electric light gas, electric utilities of public utilities of the United States may soon be added to the trading list of the Chicago Stock exchange.

Twenty to twenty-five men have been placed daily for the last week, as compared with five to seven daily previously during the winter.

EDITOR AMERICAN FLOODS TAKE HEAVY TOLL Johnstown Flood stands Foremost in Country's memory. TEXAS HARD HIT Galveston Was Visited by Worst Flood Disaster in History of Country in 1900 When 6,000 Lives Were Lost And Property Damage Was $20,000,000. CHICAGO.—American floods have taken a heavy toll of lives. The flood that hit Newfoundland in memory of the country as a catastrophe was that at Johnstown, Pa., on May 31, 1889, in which 2,200 lives were lost and $10,000,000 worth of property destroyed or swept away. This was not due to a storm, but to the breaking of the reservoir of Lake Conemaugh, a body of water two miles and a half long, a mile and a half wide and more than one hundred feet deep. This held then a larger volume of water than any reservoir in this country. The dam was 1,000 feet long, 110 feet high, 90 feet thick at the base and 25 feet wite at the top. The capacity of the original lake had been quadrupled by the dam, but the menace of a flood had been so great since the construction of the immense stone wall that citizens of the valley frequently had caused inspections to be made. Water's Great Speed. The distance from the lake to Johnstown was eighteen miles and it was estimated the flood covered this distance in about seven minutes. It was the highest pressure flood in history, and even after sweeping Johnstown the water rushed on so swiftly bodies were found next morning in the Allegheny river at Pittsburgh, seventy-eight miles away. The worst of the flood occurred along the coast, occurred Sep. 8, 900, causing a loss of 6,000 lives and nearly $20,000,000 damage. This flood was caused by a hurricane from the Golf of Mexico, which hurried great, masses of water miles inland. A year before this first Galveston flood a flood in the Brazos valley in Texas caused hundreds of thousands of dollars damage and serious loss of life. This flood was followed by the bursting of a dam at Austin, caused by a year causing 100,000 damage and serious loss of life. In the same year a series of floods in the Colorado river valley caused heavy loss of life and property damage. Ohio-Iadiana Flood. In the floods in Ohio and Indiana in 1913 the city hardest hit was Dayton, where a first estimate of the dead was placed at 2,000 and a property loss approaching $100,000,000. When all the facts were gathered after the flood, however, it was learned that the list of dead was 732 for the two states and a property loss of $180,733,000. More than 60,000 buildings were flooded. A series of floods in the irrazos and other valleys in 1913 and about 500 lives were lost. The loss in this flood in southern and eastern Texas was estimated at more than $90,000,000. The cause of these floods was torrential rains. In 1915 Galveston was revisited by a hurricane and inundated seas from the Gulf of Mexico and the death list was 1,000,000 and a property loss of $5,000,000. The property loss each year in the lower Mississippi runs into millions. The year of greatest loss was 1903 when millions of dollars in property was destroyed at Kansas City, Mo., and other river towns. Vaccination Laws of States. CHICAGO—Vaccination is made a requirement for admission to school by law in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Porto Rico, Rhode Island and South Carolina. in Virginia it is local option, and can be enforced or suspended by a local school board. in New York the law applies only to cities of the fir., and second class. in North Dakota vaccination and inoculation are forbidden by law as a precedent for admission to school. Louisiana expressly forbids compulsory vaccination of school children except in case of epidemic. Utah and Arizona forbid vaccination against the wish of the parents or guardians. Moose Ditches Auto. EASTON, Me.—An encounter with a moose which ditched their automobile was related by Walter Chase and his wife of Eason, Me. They were driving with dusk from a woods with his head down and struck their car with such force as to swing it into a roadside ditch. It was not overturned, however, and the occupants were unhurt. The moose stood still apparently dazed by the headlights. When they came up against his fender bumped the animal, which immediately disappeared in the woods. A Sure Winner.

What Baptists and Methodists Say About Their Clergy. Should Be a Standard for the Ministry, Says Dr. Byrd, Educationally and Morally—Stand and Fight! Young Men. Dear Dr. Byrd:—I read some time ago your article in The Cleveland Gazette on emotional preaching. I desire to thank you for it. I was once a member of the Baptist church but as the condition you described was so manifest in the church I could no longer remain in it. There are a few educated and well meaning preachers but the majority of them are ignorant. They depend on noise, bible-beating and well meaning worshipers to arroar, moaning worshipers to yelling, moaning and fits. I am convinced that the Negroes in America, under the Baptist ministry, are going backward. Is there any way to compel preachers to be educated? Would you use your pen to bring about such a law I am distressed more since I had a talk with a Methodist man and he told me even the majority of Methodist bishops are uneducated and about many of them nasty immoral charges are rumored and circulated. Our race must have a decent ministry or we are lost. Everybody here delights to read their writings and we hope you will not let the colored leaders until they become what they should be. We cannot get recognition by intelligent races until our preachers are worth while. Respectfully yours The above letter speaks for itself. In our writing we do not attack any denomination or creed but we hold ourselves open so as to cooperate with all religious bodies in bringing about such reforms as will aid in the development of the race. Mr. McBride makes some sweeping statements touching the church which he was once a member. His information, touching Methodist distress, is fortunate—if it is true. We are sorry to admit that some things he has heard seem to be considered true. The race needs the best clergy in every respect that is in America. Ignorant men have no business preaching for any people and their followers must suffer infinite loss in following them. One of the most intelligent and spiritual churches I preach shipped to Bapst church and the pastor of that church maintained a decorum in every thing that was uplifting and beneficial. Not far from him were other churches of his faith whose worship "Star's and Tom's Babies Still Crying!" It is really amusing to hear the "FitzGerald - Maschke - 'Starlight' Fleming" Negroes whine and yowl who have been "hot-footed" out of city jobs by the new Kohler (local) administration, and nearly all of them have been, we are told. Their efforts to work up a little sympathy for themselves and, incidentally, work up a feeling of resentment among our people against the new mayor because he very properly "put them on the greased ways and skidded them out" into the cold, dreary world for living (like the rest of us) at much smaller pay, for the first time in several years, are certainly laughable, to say the least. It is also music in the ears of thousands of the good people of Ward 11 who stood on the streets, last October, and heard many of these same "yowlers" spewing out their miserable abuse and contemptible lies in their vain effort to reclaim MitzFergal (and Tom). Nor did they spare Candidates Kohler, Hinchliffe and others, "looked aloof to them" when it allowed to "gutter and sew" campaign and worse campaign methods, except their beloved candidates, "Fitz" and Tom. Now that they are but getting what they earned, last fall, they are whining "like a pack of whipped spaniels," not because they have lost their jobs, O, NO! but because, they say, "Colored men are not being appointed to all the places they held." How silly! Did our people support Mayor Kohler in any such numbers as to entitle them to said jobs, and not to the Kohler organization or concerted movement of any kind for him among our people in Ward 11 or any other ward in the city of Cleveland, last fall? Has any person even heard of any such thing? City jobs do not belong to our people simply because they are held for a short or long time by members of the race. And yet, there are those who thoughtlessly feel so and it is upon these that the whinners and yowlers are busy working. And even the poor support the Old Reliable" Gazette in their crusade against Mayor Kohler. How foolish! As if we could ever forget their most reprehensible conduct of last October in Ward 11 alone. Before election, last November, a few of our people "whispered under their breath" that they were for Kohler for mayor. Since election many of them say they were, but all know that most of that "say is" "bunk," pure and simple, and is not fooling any other person. Nor are Negroes in Cleveland, last Nov. 8, voted for FitzGerald, Hinchliffe and Haserod, and every one of us know this. So where do these "Fitz" Maschke-"Starlight" Fleming Negro ex-job holders get the nerve to try to work up a feeling against Mayor Kohler to appease their resentment for the loss of the jobs they have was a reflection on the civilization of the race and the nation. We feel like Mr. McBride that there should be a standard for the ministry. Educationally, he should be the leader in his community. Morally, he should be the leader in the community. Without regard to any particular denomination, our churches [Name] suffer greatly. Educated business men, professional men and the like either taboo the church because of the unpreparedness of the ministry or they unite with the church simply for financial and business reasons. The day of the bible-beating, ranting and emotional harranguen has passed. Our worshippers that desire such an exhibition of foolishness should be taught better. Educated young people of all creeds rebel against such idiotic foolishness. Churches that call and maintain such preachers must suffer for the sake of every race. Mr. McBride possibly would be of more service had he remained in the Baptist church and fought against the things he now complains of. Young men don't run, but stand your ground and fight! VICTORY will ultimately crown your efforts. We shall aid you all we can. very properly been separated from by him? They "worked their heads off," so to speak, trying to re-elect FitzGerald (and Tom) and lost, and were due to get what they have received—the political hot-foot. THANK THE LORD! Then, too, when one remembers the miserable lies most of them "hawked" up and down Central Ave, all during the day, director, editor of The Gazette, who represented the peoples' cause in Ward 11, one cannot help but feel that the "yowlers" have not yet received "the half that is coming to them." But mercy, how they WHINE! If they but knew how the people enjoy hearing them, they would "take a tumble." Mean-wise, a people of Ward 11 smile. It is their turn to do so and has been ever since election day. Maschke, when campaigning a year ago last fall, promised ward 11 audiences, that assembled in the Central Bathhouse and elsewhere, that our people would have representation in all of the county offices if they "stood by" the Republican ticket being voted for at that time, and it won. They did this and the ticket won. Did they get an assistant county prosecutor (and representation in all of the county offices?) They did not! Even Selmo Glenn (and Wm. R. Green, Dr. Gregg, Major Anderson, Dwight R. Williams and Samuel E. Woods and many others know this.) Were they ever able to get an assistant police prosecutor from Maschke when Davis and FitzGerald were mayors? Sometimes there would be two or three Jewish assistants in that office at the same time and still Maschke would not give us the representation we were entitled to. Roy Cheeks and Selmo Glenn can tell you about this, too. Maschke simply would not give a member of the race a clerkship in the City hall, either. O, we know several of our claimed such appointments but as a matter of fact they were but messengers or holding positions of even lesser degree. Then the way some of these appointees of color were and are placed — in basements and corners out of sight, behind screens, etc. When Syd. Thompson was nominated as a candidate for the Legislature and when Sam Woods and Wm. R. Green were elected to that august body, a year ago last fall, what happened to them? What would also have happened to Harry E. Davis but for that indignation meeting in Lane Metropolitan church shortly after election day, a year ago last fall? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 11. 1982 EXCHANGES SOLD TO RAISE BIG FUND Foreign Markets Influenced by Methods of Securing $35,733,000. AMERICAN MONEY USED. "Paperbacks". Spent by Doughbys in Defeated Country Are Shipped by Germany to This Country to Pay Indemnity.—Credits Are Built Up by Long Process. NEW YORK.—The manner in which the German government raised the $35,733,000 that was through four banking institutions in this city used to constitute the first reputation payment constitutes a sound lesson in financing. The four banking institutions in which the money was deposited are Hallgarten & Co., the Equitable Trust Co., Speyer & Co., and the Guaranty Trust Co. The four inquiries were engaged prior to the payment of the big sum to the Federal Reserve bank to the credit of the Allies, in assembling the credit. While this was being done there was a tremendous decline in the exchange of all the countries. Germany was "buying dollars" by the sale of exchange abroad and buying this dollar in New York to meet her obligation to the Allies. The actual transfer was not in cash or in gold, but the banking credits of the four institutions. Against the balances of the German Government with them, the bankers sent to the Federal Reserve bank the amount of which was cleared and on the following day the amount added to the total of reparation payments. Used American Money. The story of the assembling in New York of a credit sufficient to pay $35,733,000 and to leave what is described as a "good seized" balance to the credit of the Reliefs bank, is a chapter in international finance which has mystified Walt Street bankers. Many phases of it are not entirely cleared up by statements of the men who made the transfers yesterday. One thing is transfers. One thing is apparent for a long period, a time which has stretched into the months, Germany and the United States, the books of the four institution which acted for her. "Balances," as one banker explained, "have been remitted in all sorts of ways." A peculiar factor in the settlement is this; some of the money, at least, used to pay the German indemnity here was American paper money spent in the defeated country by the soldiers of the Army of Occupied France, back to the United States In this way the bankers could not say. However, it was learned that several "bales" of such currency have arrived from Hamburg, and soldiers returning from Germany tell of how the American currency, sent over to pay the soldiers each month, disbanded completely after having once been spent over a Teutonic counter. This, of course, was but a fractional part of the total. The main part of the fund was secured through the sale, abroad, of exchange, which amounts to the purchase of dollars. A great deal on this was done from London, by the Rothschilds, J. & W. Seligmann, and the Equitable Trust Company, through their London branches. Most of the selting was handled by the banks in London, the Bank France, or its agents were not in the exchange market, on either side, at the time. Credit Grew Fast. Just how much of the total which was paid over to the Federal Reserve Bank represented dollars purchased in the open foreign exchange market it would be difficult to say. The estimates of the houses handling from a minimum of $10,000,000 to maximum of $20,000,000. The market itself gave evidence of violent internal disruption. Sterling had a few days before crossed the $4 mark with all other exchanges equally strong. Almost every sale of exchange abroad the dollar credit for the account of the Reichsbank grew here. The question uppermost in the minds of the bankers who handled the transaction and f the foreign experts here is this: Now that the Bank of England and the Bank of France have the $35,733,000 to their credit, what are they going to do with it? The bankers who have the accustomed to have not been taken into the secret Frankly, they say, they do not know. It has been reported that this sum will be used toward paying the first two quarterly installments of interest on the forthcoming German bond issues. These bonds, a part of the general scheme of reparations, are to be delivered to the Reparations Commission during the summer months: 0,000,000 gold marks bonds by July 1, 38,000,000 gold marks bonds by Nov. 1, and bonds for $2,000,000 gold marks, without coupons, also on Nov. 1. The first two series to draw 5 per cent. interest. Pass Many Dividends NEW YORK.—Stockholders in forty of the leading corporations of the U. S. will receive approximately $17,000,000 less than they did last year as a result of the suspension of dividends since the beginning of the current year. In all, there were forty-six suspensions by such companies. The number of the securities involved represents more than $800,000,000. Based on the usual payments, the largest dividend passed was that of the Anaconda Copper Co., which would have amounted to $2,331,250, while that of Sears, Roebuck & Co., would have been $2,100,000. On the basis of the dividend of $1,255,852 and that of the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Co., $1,000,000 were among the eliminated.

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 upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for this 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. (98 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, if such injury occurred, such sum shall unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be applied to the estate of kf according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an interstate. 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 8.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault, for w. v. 162 7). Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (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 response by a mob 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 and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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 representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. t member of mob. 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 printed a text H. Smith, 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 trouble is 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 outtery for the passage of the Bear bill, law of the Akron Bee 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, 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND, 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 will say, Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" 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 d'ed in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights to all, and therefore to ever long race discrimination continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. ZETTE After subscribe After Delicious!
