Sunday morning SCORES G. O. P. PRIMARY. Donahay Says Certain Republican Candidates' Pockets Were "Bulging With Money"—No Joke Either. Columbus, O. Aug. 22—The "menace of Thompsonism in Ohio, as Newberryism in Michigan," was held up as a possibility in the coming campaign for governor by A. V. Donahay, New Philadelphia, Democratic candidate for governor, in his address today before the Democratic state convention. "The recent Republican primary reeked with money." Donahay declared, "Hired workers (for candidates Thompson and Knight) flitted about the state, their pockets bulging with the loot of corrupt politics. The "barrel" to be on tap this year and the preliminaries prove it beyond a doubt." Donahay asserted the Republican primaries this year were a "disgrace" and he is right in the statement, "There was no honest election in many places in Ohio," he said. And this is too true, particularly in Cleveland and Cincinnati. "If elected and the people give me a friendly general assembly, I propose to clean up the primaries, and investigate the lavish expenditures of money. Can a man, who spent more money to secure a nomination than he will receive in salary, if elected, have a proper regard for his oath of office?" Carmi A. Thompson and his campaign committee admit spending over $25,000 and Congressman C. L. Knight, who was also a candidate for the Republican nomination, and his committee, easily spent as much. Worse than the spending of so very much money is what many of the Republican organizations' IJ dgs as workers in the election booths of Cleveland and Cincinnati did to several of the candidates on the day and evening of the recent primary, in their zeal for Thompson, it is said. ASKS BOARD TO HOLD BALLOTS State Secretary Hears Count Wasn't Correct. Columbus, O. Aug. 20. Secretary of State Smith today announced that he had asked the Hamilton county board of electors not to destroy its primary election ballots. He said reports, had come to him alleging more votes were cast for some candidates, both Republican and Democratic, in certain Cincinnati precincts than were counted for them. Secretary Harvey C. Smith, Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Congressman Knight and Mr. Daundall all candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, are said to have been given a very "raw deal" in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Dayton, particularly, by the local Republican organizations' representatives in the booths of those cities. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Monday afternoon, Miss Roberta B. James, E. 101st St., presented the editor of The Gazette with a delicious "Angel Food" cake, which she had made, in honor of "The Old Reliable's" entrance upon its fortieth year of publication, every week on time since its birth, August 25, 1883. A member of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church has written The Gazette relative to what she terms the heart-rending experience of a sick man at that church, Sunday evening, who had appealed to the pastor for funds. It is a matter that the church's members should handle, if all she writes is true. This should be done before it is "aired" in the newspapers. Walter F. White, correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, and an assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. addressed the City Club Public square forum on "Lynching as a National Menace" at noon, Monday, at the northwest corner of the square. Mr. White has been conducting special investigations of lynchings and race riots for several years. Mrs. Louis S. Jones, E. 101st St. entertained, last Tuesday evening, in honor of Miss Ada Marie Lee of New Bedford, Mass., guest of Mrs. W. B. Wright, W. 55th St. Other out-of-town guests were Misses Gladys Holland and E. Feenston of Ballimore, Marguerite Ranson of Passadena.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS To Fool Hamilton County Afro-American Voters And Put U. S. Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty "in a hole" —The Notorious Ballot-box Stuffing in the South, Years ago, "Out-Heroded" in Ohio. (Special to The Gazette.) Cincinnati, O.—When the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Republican organization, for the first time in more than forty years refused, several months ago, to place a member of the race on its slate for tion. This, too, in a Republican landslide that carried all the rest of the county Republican ticket to victory on election day. We have not forgotten this even if some of them are foolish enough to think so. It was what caused, last fall, Hon. A. Lee Beaty. nomination for the Legislature, August 8, 22, and then turned down flat at that time a delegation of our people, headed by the Rev. J. Franklin Walker, which appealed to them to do so, it emancipated from political serfdom many thousands of the 25,000 Afro-American voters in this city and county who could not have been "pried loose" in any other way. Right in the midst of this, along came that RACE POWER, the editor of The Gazette with OUR Harry Clay Smith, Governor candidacy, during the recent primary, and with a speech "we shall ever remember stirred hundreds of our people, in the biggest meeting the campaign, as they had never before been stirred. He and Dr. Walker and C. E. Hunt, who introduced the editor, discussed the local situation thoroughly and drew the only deductions that were possible under the circumstances—told our people the truth, that they (here as elsewhere) had been political "door-mats" so long that not even political leaders, particularly those in Cincinnati, had the least bit of regard or respect for them, their rights or their privileges, locally or generally, and that they never would have, until our people learned to resent at the polls such aggravatingly unfair and insulting mistreatment as the Hamilton County Republican organization had so recently handed them for the second time in two years. To this the vast audience rallied with storms of applause that could have been and doubtless were heard for several blocks. No sane person will question the general feeling of resentment that rests in the bosoms and minds of our people of this city and county, and they are going to make it felt on election day in November! That the local political leaders (white), and their few black henchmen, are fully alive to this condition of affairs political is proven in their latest "smoke-screen" move — the Republican organization's pseudo endorsement (for that it all really amounts to) of A. Lee Beaty, former member of the Ohio Legislature, one of its Negro henchmen, for an appointment as an assistant in the office of the U. S. District Attorney for southern Ohio. There is little or no probability of his appointment, and if he were appointed, it would not be anything like an adequate substitute for the membership in the Ohio Legislature we have arbitrarily robbed of by the prejudiced Hamilton County Republican organization, and they will learn this to their sorrow in November. Two years ago, it stabbed our candidate in the back and to political death after placing him on its slate and securing his nomination. IN UNION WE SERVE EEN" A Political Trick County Afro-American And Put Jerry M. Daugherty "in a hole" box Stuffing in the South, Heroded" in Ohio. tion. This, too, in a Republican landslide that carried all the rest of the county Republican ticket to victory on election day. We have not forgotten this even if some of them are foolish enough to think so. It was what caused, last fall. Lee Beaty. thousands of our people to cast their votes for Judge Joseph B. Kelley, the independent candidate for mayor. To all of the foregoing must be added the work of the organization's "slight of hand" artists in the booths of this city and county, on the 8th of this month, who only out our candidate, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith' out of THOUSANDS of votes, only permitting him to have, on the face of the returns, something like 747 votes (this, too, in a county that boasts a black vote of 25,000), but they actually on the face of the returns, mind you, turned this county's "wet" vote into a "dry" vote, election day and evening, by changing it from Durand to Thompson, candidates for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. That is certainly "going some," as all must admit, but it IS just exactly what was done here on the 8th of this month. The Cleveland Republican organization, which was working hand in hand with our Hamilton County Republican organization, seems to have done much the same thing there, certainly as far as our Hon. Harry Clay Smith for Governor candidacy was concerned, to say the least. It gave him but 1,681 votes in a city and county that has over 10,000 male Negro votes. Rud, Hynicka, head of the Hamilton County Republican organization and a member of the Republican National Committee from Ohio, is a crazy political leader. He feels sure, with the help of his black chenchman, that he can "snift-scoop" our people here, until after election, with this Beaty recommendation "smoke-screen" nonsense but he will fall, this time sure. We have had much of this mistreatment, for many years, but in the last two years far too much, more than any group in the party could stand; indeed, more than double that any other group in the party would have stood one-half of two years. Many white politicians believe the recommendation of the appointment of Beaty is purely an effort of Hynleka and his associates to win back the "black brigade" to the organization's fold until after the November election. Others profess to see in the indorment a well-designed opportunity to slap back at U. S. Attorney-General Harry M. U. S. Attorney-General upon Hynleka's methods previous to the Ohio governorate campaign. They argue that if Beaty is turned down by Daugherty then on his head must rest the one of having antagonized the race. Daugherty appalls Beaty, then the organization, they say, is relieved --- (Continued on page 3) SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.0 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .5 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.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896, 1896 to 1898, 1890 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS BEST AND BEST in the country. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 35,000 in Cleveland. We ask a careful reading of our candidate's "statement" of contributions and expenses, in the recent state primary campaign. The laws of Ohio require that it be filed with the Secretary of State. This has been done. If any person or organization has contributed and their name is not found in that statement they will oblige us greatly by writing the editor of The Gazette immediately. --- In his own precinct of ward 11, Cleveland, Harry Clay Smith received on August 8, twenty-three votes; Carmi A. Thompson, 14, and Harvey C. Smith, 3—on the face of the returns! And he was lucky to be allowed that many. Great is THE SYSTEM worked here, in Cincinnati, Dayton and other Ohio cities, these days, and for several years past. It must be destroyed—THE SYSTEM! --- Five prominent men (white), of Macon, Ga., have been indicted by the Blob County grand jury for the lynching of John "Cocky" Glover recently. They are: Herbert Bloch manager of the Hotel Dempsey, the leading hotel in the city; H. L. McSwalm, president of the Southern Fire Insurance Co.; N. Unice, merchant, and Guy Jones a city fireman. The fifth, though indicted, has not been located, having fled the city of Macon. Their bonds range from one to $3,00 each. This is encouraging! --- In spite of the "cutting" our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor received in Cleveland, Cincinnati and at least two other of the large cities of the state, on Aug. 8, 1922, we have every reason to feel proud of the showing made at the recent state primaries.No, we were not last by a good deal! It is more than a creditable to have received more votes than at least two or three of the other candidates, in a field of nine, and ours the only Afro-American candidacy in the number. As a friend well says, we made history, two years ago and a few weeks ago, that our people of Ohio, and their white friends, have every reason to feel proud of. CHILDs NOT EVEN THE FIRST ONE. Our esteemed contemporary, The Pittsburg Courier, is in error when it says that Lieut. Wm. F. Childs (retired) of Chicago is the only Afro-American policeman to attain his rank. Cleveland had such an officer in the person of Lieut. John Anderson (retired), years before Mr. Childs was elevated to the position of lieutenant. He presided over police of this city in different prefects and exercised all the authority of his position as lieutenant, something Lieut. Childs was never permitted to do. He, too, was retired after twenty-five years' service in the police department of this city and was and still is regarded as one of the best officers ever to have served in the department. COLOR-LINE LUNA PARK! Our pastors should do their clear duty to their congregations and warn them to shun color-line Luna park as they would a place filled with small-pox. Negroes loyal to their race and with self and race respect and pride CANNOT enter color-line Luna Park, before, during or after its season closes. The principle is the 'same!' Mark those Negroes who would tole there the ignorant and those who do not know of the insufferable conditions existing there all year while the park is open — the discrimination against the race in Luna park's dance hall, skating rink and swimming-pool—, in order that they or their organizations may make some "tainted" money for themselves and that color-line Luna park management! BE MEN AND WOMEN! Do not lick the hand that smites you! --- DYER FOOLISH! Congressman L. C. Dyer (white) of Missouri is not helping in the antitrenching bill, pending in the U. S. Senate, by railing at "northern Negroes" for an/apparent apathy in their support of his clearly unconstitutional bill. They are really active in their support of the measure in spite of the fact that leading lawyer-members of the U. S. Senate as well as other ominent legal authorities publicly pronounce his bill and constitutional because of decisions, on that and kindred subjects, of the U. S. Supreme Court, this nation's court of the last resort. Mr. Dyer should ever keep before him the FACT that "northern NE-GROES" are the only ones who have secured the enactment of effective laws against mob violence and lynching. Ohio led, Illinois followed; then came Wisconsin, Kentucky and West Virginia, but with laws not quite so broad, general and effective as those of the first two states named, but good laws just the same. Do not be foolish or insulting, Mr. Dyer. We are all trying to help your bill if for no other reason than to force the U. S. Senate and the U. S. Supreme Court to take a stand in the open on this burning subject of mob violence and lynch-murder. All of the foregoing is equally applicable to the N. A. A. C. P. which seems to be boosting Congressman Dyer's foolish and insulting comment on "northern Negroes" in connection with his bill. Its secretary, James W. Johnson, says: "I want to back up as strongly as I can what Mr. Dyer says," etc. AN HONEST PRIMARY ELECTION? OUR FORTIETH YEAR! How the time slips by! Thirty-nine years ago on the twenty-fifth of this month, "The Old Reliable" Gazette made its initial bow to our people of the country and with this issue it enters upon its fortieth year of continuous publication, every week on time since that date. A remarkable record for any publication, as every one must admit, especially when it is known that we have had to combat about all the many obstacles that arise in the pathway of any newspaper to happe its progress. From the very beginning. The Gazette has been managed and edited by the writer who can hardly realize that so long a time "in the saddle" has elapsed. From its initial successful efforts to help wipe out the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws," to secure the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, and to blaze the way to wiser political action in order that something like reasonable recognition for our people of Ohio and the country may be secured. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. AUGUST 26 1922 this in recent months and years, "The Old Reliable" has stood out in the open like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never fattering and determined, whenever our people's interests demanded it. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage them along all lines that lead to greater and better progress is also well known to all. Its efforts against inimical legislation, national state and municipal, and in favor of that which was helpful to the race need only to be referred to. Personal interests have always been subordinated to those of the race and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been and is to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender" on constitutory policy. The Gazette believes in demanding for our country at least, and continuing to fight for all that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recommendation for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of all these thirty-nine years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become readers, subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assists it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you and again assure you of our sincere appreciation. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED. "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Toledo, Springfield, Dayton, Piquan, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O. and terms will be sent promptly. Our correspondent will be sending at once the addresses of persons is the cities named, and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a adn Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: "Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. --- Is there any doubt NOW, in the mind of anyone, as to what race paper has the largest circulation and the largest following among our people in Cleveland, and the state of Ohio? "The Old Reliable" Gazette has led for thirty-nine years and will continue to do so. ```markdown ``` 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 and that world then will say. Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription 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 long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mans.) Guardian. PRIME SPORT NEWS STATEMENT OF EXPENSES Statement of Harry Clay Smith. Address 2322 E. 30th Street, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

New York City—Less than an hour after the state athletic commission had granted, Aug. 17, the application of the Republic Athletic club for a license to conduct boxing matches at the Polo Grounds, John M. O'Connor, president of the club, announced that he had received Harry Wills' agreement to meet Jack Dempsey in a fifteen-round bout to a decision for the world's heavyweight title. The agreement calls for an October match, preferably the 12th, to be staged in the New York Grass park. Plans filed with the athletic commission described that park, converted into a stadium, would seat 85,000 persons. Wills was reported to have signed for a 12-1-2 per cent guarantee of the total receipts. O'Connor said he had notified Dan McKettrick. J ack Kearns' representative, that Dempsey would be guaranteed 37-1-2 per cent. Wills Kayors Jackson; Not "Tut." Newark, N. J. — Whattear desires prejudices had of "Buddy" Jackson. Brooklyn heavyweight, removing Harry Wills, of New Orleans, to the path of the "brown panther," from the path of Jack Dempsey (for the world's title), were knocked into a cocked hat" in the Broad A. C. ring here. Aug. 21. After two minutes and forty-five seconds of milling in the second round, Wills shot over a heavy right that landed flush on the point of Jackson's jaw, and the Brooklyn boxer fell like a log and was counted out. It required a full five minutes before Jackson was able to leave his corner "Buddy" (not Ohio's phenom, "Tut"). Jack's o' styles himself "the European and South American boxer, with a string of thirty-four knockouts in thirty-eight battles." Yes, he is "colored." Next Tuesday night, Wills is scheduled to enter the ring against "Tut" Jackson, a premier Afro-American boxer, in 15 rounds at Ebbets Field. This match is regarded as a far more severe test for Wills. "Tut" is training near his home at Washington Courthouse, Ohio. He has kavowed every one of his opponents (white and colored) in a few rounds, and there have been over thirty of them — victims, "Tut" has yet to be knocked out (kayoed) and we hope Wills will not do it. Some record! Trouble Looms Big for the Tate Stars. After playing "pretty" poor baseball in the East for the past month and almost reaching the cellar in the League standing (eight clubs), the Tate Stars returned home, the first of the week, and Sunday afternoon defeated the Canton Terminals (white), 6 to 4. Gray and Williams, new players the Tates secured from Pittsburg, featured both at bat and in the field, causing many of the fans to wish they would send to that city for more, because they are sadly needed. Strong pitched well for the Tates, allowing only six hits and Boyd got two-ball hits and Williams and Gray three-basers, the latter also stealing a base and making a sacrifice. Monday afternoon, the 11-inning game was won by the Terminals. 6 to 5. Johnston made a two-baser, Tuesday's game was won by the Tapes, 12 to 5. J. Taylor and Johnson each made a two-base-hit. According to current rumor Robinson and Srunkoo (white), a stockholder, whose wife is an Afro-American, and other stockholders of the Tate Baseball Co., were again in court trying to wrest the money-control of the corporation from the bands of its president, Geo. Tate, who, it is said, persists in his refusal of last and this year to allow Treasurer J. E. Reed and other proper officials of the company to P. handle its money-affairs. On last week Tuesday, Atty. Frank G. Carpenter (white) filed suit in Municipal Court against the Tate Baseball Company for $250 due S. I. Dorssey, another stockholder, for labor performed over a year ago and which President Tate has steadily refused or failed to pay. There are many other outstanding accounts much like this one, it is said, and naturally the question has repeatedly been asked by the stockholders, as well as others, what has been done with the thousands of dollars taken in at Tate field since the season began, and last year, too. For the permanent good of the company it is sincerely hoped by many, in and out of the organization, that the question will now be settled, because it would be a pity for so promising a race business proposition, to "go on the rocks" simply because of poor or bad management, or rather for the lack of proper management, of its affairs. Pres. Geo. Tate's "strangle hold" on the finances of the corporation must be prized loose, say a number of stockholders, or the company will be ruined and the thousands of dollars invested in by many persons lost. We sincerely trust that the matter is not so serious as they seem to feel it is. Carpentier vs. "Batting" Siki, Paris, France.—The fight between Georges Carpentier, European heavyweight boxing champion, and "Batting" Siki, the Sengalese (African black) aspirant for the heavyweight honors, scheduled for Sept. 10, may not leave unsettled the much discussed question of Carpentier's ability as a fighter, but already there is assurance that it will confirm his own keen business sense and that of his manager, Francois Descamps. A huge permanent arena, seating 65,000 spectators, will be built for this event. Carpentier and Descamps each hold 100,000 francs of stock in this enterprise. Together they hold 40 per cent of all the stock and Descamps is one of the directors. Carpentier has been guaranteed 300,000 francs as his share of the purse, in addition to 20 per cent of the gate receipts which he will receive by virtue of being a shareholder. The arena will be used not only for boxing bouts, but for bicycle and foot races. It will be known as the "Buffalo" because the manager formerly acted in the same capacity for the Buffalo Bill circus on its French tours years ago. Georges is still busy being filmed in England, and has not begun training for the bout. He expected to be free, August 20.

SCIENCE AIDS MODERN CROOK ELECTRIC DRILL CRACKSMAN'S FAVORITE TOOL Dummy Safe is New Trick to Fool Police—Summer Season Thief's Harvest Time The detective bureau has classified and indexed all of the different kinds of criminals and has carefully noted their methods of work. The crook today is, if anything, more careful and cautious than his old time prototype, and in committing crime and trying to conceal it he is resorting more and more to science and invention. If the police have become more efficient in their methods, so has he, and it is not always an easy task to discover him and track him to his lair. The safe burglar, for example, used to take an hour or more to open a safe and the operation was done with a good deal of noise. Safes are better built today and are not so easy to get into, so there has been a decrease in the number of this kind of burglaries. When the crook does operate now he uses an electric drill and works almost noiselessly. The safe man who at present are giving the police trouble do not attempt to crack the large safes, but go after those used by small shopkeepers. These burglaries have recently resorted to trickery in attempts to puzze the police. After gaining entrance to a building, if the safe was in the front of the store where its outline could be seen from the street, they would drag it to the rear of the shop, and substitute in its place a dug heater safe made of pasteboard. A few months ago thieves entered a cigar store in Lenox avenue, near 116th street, New York City. They dragged the safe to the rear of the store, and left one of these pasteboard affairs in its place. A passing policeman looked in the window. There was something about the safe which looked敢 queer to him. He observed by the tim light that its glided lines were not quite straight. At first he thought the light was playing a trick on his eyes but a closer inspection convinced him that it was not the real store safe. He hurriedly summoned another policeman. They entered the store and caught three men working on the real safe. The loft burglar had quite a profitable time of it until the police found out his methods of work. He would conceal himself in a building before it was closed for the night. After the help had departed and the watchman was quite out of sight, he would help himself to the particular kind of loot he was after—bolts of silk, cloth or furs. This, with the aid of confederate he would remove to a nearby cellar. If there was much booby to be removed he would sometimes use a wagon. The plurder would remain in such a cellar until such a time as the thief, thought it could safely be carried away and disposed of. The advent of summer always primes thieves and burglaries to town. It is the season when apartments and homes are closed or when windows and doors are frequently left open, making things easier for the thieves. The police department has issued a warning to householders not to let thieves know the family is away for the summer. Many persons on leaving their apartments pull down the window shades. This is always a sign to thieves that the tenant is away. A thief will observe such an apartment for several days. After he has convinced himself that the family is away he will break into the apartment and ransack it. The dumbwaiter thief is active at this season of the year. He works with a confederate. He is small and wiry. he gets on the dumbwaiter, and his companion in the basement houses him to the floor of a deserted apartment. It is a simple matter for him to Jimmy the dumbwaiter door into the kitchen. Then there is the fire escape burglar. He reaches a fire escape from a roof or hall floor. Two such thieves usually work together, one as a lookout to sound a warning to his companion at the first sign of danger. A fire escape burglar has been operating about Washington Heights that the New York police would like to get. He has a peculiar sense of humor. After robbing his victims he takes pleasure in hiding their clothing in odd places. In several precincts the police are warning householders to be on the lookout for bogus inspectors. This thief gets into a flat on the pretext that he has come to inspect the gas meter. When he departs something is found to be missing. A game now being tried by thieves is to call up a grocery store or wine shop and order several dollars worth $10 to be delivered at once to the apartment of Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones at such and such an address. The man giving the order requests the store to send change for $10. A delivery is sent to the house with the goods and the money. At the entrance to the house he is met by a man who asks him if he has the order for Smith. "I am Mr. Smith," the man says. "Give me the change for the $10, and I will run up to the apartment and get the money for you." Needless to say, he does not return, and on inquiry it is found that no one by the name of Smith lives in the house. "What, you refuse to loan me $20—me your intimate friend, whom you once called your alter ego?" "Ah, my dear boy, I know myself too well—you would never return the money." Luckily in Love Also, as Bride Selects Him From Many as "Perfect Man" Two men stood in the tower of the Yerkes Observatory, at Williams Bay, Wis., just before dawn with their eyes shied to telescopes. One was the regular comet speaker of the institution, the other was John E. Mellisch, discovered of three comets that bear his name and hero of a romantic love affair. Suddenly Mellisch removed his eye from the tube and in a wildly excited tone called to his companion. "Tve found another—can you see "I've found another—can you see it?" "Where?" "In the constellation of Monoceros, right ascension, 6 hours and 37 minutes, declination north 8 degrees and 50 minutes?" "One with the bright nucleus and the curved tail?" asked his companion. "Now, that's it," said Mellisch. "Yes, that's it," said Mellish. "Well that's the fourth you've picked out of the sky," said the other man. "That's going come for a man only 28 years old." Mellish, who is spoken of by Prof. Edwin B. Prost of the observatory as "one of the rarest of living geniuses in astronomy," only a few years ago was plowing his father's Wisconsin farm by day and studying the sky by night. He had become interested in the sky thrue catching glimpses of the heavens while he had his telescope trained on birds, then the particular object of his research. He had no good telescope for astronomical work, so he made one. He had no map of the sky, so he made one. He had no cone mirrors for his work, so he made one. He has made mirrors for the Johns Hopkins University. He made the two inch telescope thru which no discovered the new comet. Mellish not only beat other astronomers at finding comets, but completed successfully against 2,000 sulters for the hand of his wife, formerly Miss Jessie Wood of Glencoe. Miss Wood advertised for a "perfect man" last July and out of the more than 2,000 replies she received picked Mellish's letter as the ideal. On closer acquaintance the young star gazer proved her ideal. The couple eloped and are living at the observatory. The young scientist is supported by a grant from the National Academy of Science. STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD Oklahoma Town Uses "Sludge, Walt Disney The main business street of Kusan, Okla., will be paved with material which carries a certain percentage of both gold and silver. The material is the residium or "sludge" from a zinc smelter which George E. Nickelson and associates are building there. Arrangements have been made with the smelter people to save the wasteaving material. Much of the one hundred tons of ore that will be smelted daily at Kusa carries rich gold and silver values. The ore is shipped to the town from Montana, Idaho, Utah and other mountain states. When the gold value is sufficiently rich to defray the cost of shipment is is sold to smelters in Colorado that make a specialty of handling precious metals. If found to be insufficient it will be used on Kusan streets. It is estimated that about ten tons of excellent paving material a day will be saved, practically all of which will carry gold and silver. None of the Joplin ore has precious metal. Thousands of tots, however, will find its way into Kusa smelter. mg. venuity "So he's graduated from college." "Yep." "What's he going to do?" "Hasn't made up his rouln. So far there doesn't seem to be any vacancy in the general managerships of the big concerns." Under Difficulties "Does your wife object to your smoking?" "No," replied Mr. Meekton; "but she takes a great deal of the pleasure out of it by compelling me to sit in front of the geraniums and blow all the smoke on them to kill the insects." The Poor Lover. He had exhausted the weather as a subject of conversation. He eyed his frayed hat as he turned it self-consciously on his knee. "It's about wore out," he apologized. "Why don't you wear it out?" she asked pointedly. **Appropriate Nickname.** "Here comes 'April Showers.'" said Tommy to his playmate as his sister May's beau came up the walk. "Why do you call him 'April Showers'?" asked the other boy. "'Cause he brings May flowers." **Grateful.** Gladys—My dressmaker wrote to dad that she would make no more dresses for me until her account was settled. Helen—And what did he say?

Not Customary. "That's a big sum of money to entrust to a mere boy. Why don't you send an armed guard with him so he won't be held up?" "I suppose I ought to, but I hate to seem eccentric." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. AUGUST 26, 1922 SCARLET BATHING SUIT DOOMS FROGS SCARLET BATHING SUIT DOOMS FROGS GIRL'S BRILLIANT COSTUME IS TRAP WITH HOOKS FOR BUMPING HOPPERS Jumpers Squirm and Wriggle Edible Legs in Agony A girl with a brilliant mind and a red bathing suit conducted one of the most remarkable frog fishing expeditions in the history of Winsted, Conn. As a result of her ingenuity there is hardly a portion of frog legs left in Highland lake. The young woman who wore a scarlet garment cut low and high, here and there, entered the lake at seven minutes of 2. At 2 o'clock about a thousand frogs croaked. The young woman swam about skilfully for a time, but suddenly noticed that she was being bumped now and again by objects beneath the ripples—the ripples of the lake. Inasmuch as the young woman has been at Winsted for several days and knows every one in town, she was confident that the submarine commotion must have been caused by frogs. Summoning all her courage for the second time, counting the time that she walked out of the bath house with the suit, the young woman peered down into the water. There she beheld small frogs, large frogs, leap frogs and many curious beasties. Well, what was she to do? Raising her beautiful soprano chin to the 'leaves she exclaimed 'Help!'—which came. By the time it arrived she had hit upon a scheme and stepped upon several frogs. She got in to shore and obtained from an old fisherman, who intended to wait on the shore for years if necessary until she came out, a great supply of fish hooks, which she placed in profusion about her beautiful fitting water garb. Then she returned to the lake. Within an hour the young woman was on shore again and as you may have suspected, knowing that Highland lake is in Winsted, she was simply alive with frogs. Every hook had at least one squirming resident of Highland lake cursing his luck hoarsely and wriggling his edible legs in agony. The weather is as usual, superb. Illinois Man Read Story of Lost For mula Ten Years Ago—Then He Got Busy A formula has been discovered which is said to prove effective in the hardening of copper and to have solved a problem which scientists have been striving to master for centuries. For about ten years a resident of Quincy, IL, who has always been of an inventive turn of mind, has been striving to learn of some manner to harden copper. About a decade ago he read that in Biblical days there was a formula of some sort that was found for hardening this metal, but it was afterward lost and that inventors since have been striving to find one to take its place. Realizing that a big fortune was awaiting the man that could find the formula, he has been making experiments since and now claims to have succeeded. To show the effectiveness of his discovery, a razor has been made of copper material. The blade is as hard as steel and can be sharpened in the same manner. As other examples he has pieces of copper metal which have been treated with his formula which are as hard as high tempered steel and equally hard to bend. INVENTS A NEW FIRE ESCAPE It's a Portable Affair to be Thrown From Window A new fire escape, the invention of an itinerant workman at present located at Davenport, Iowa, is designed to be tossed from the windows of upper rooms when other ways of escape are cut off. The affair is folded up and placed inside a window. In case of fire it can be thrown out, one end being anchored firmly. A ladder is thus formed on which occupants of the burning building may descend to safety. One of the advantages is that in case fire is coming from a lower window, it may be seized from below and pulled away from the building. It can also be carried on fire wagons to be hoisted to windows if necessary. The inventor has the recommendation of the chiefs of several fire departments and is looking for someone to push the new device. TWO WHEELED COASTER CYCLE New Amusement Contrivance Soon to Appear A coaster cycle soon to appear on the market and which may be manufactured at Elkhart, Ind., is equipped with two wheels and consists of a wood bar arrangement with a seat bar. The rider astride the machine, can propel it with both feet while the weight of the body rests on the seat bar. This arrangement it is pointed out permits of hill coating, something that is not possible with other types of coasters now on the market, and it can be made at a small cost. "A man in your position cannot know too much," remarked the admiring friend. "It may be impossible to know too much," replied Senator Sorghum, "but it's mighty easy to tell too much." ELECTRICITY NOW USED TO THAW FROZEN PIPES St. Paul Waterworks Employees Abandon Ditch Digging for Newer Method The man with a shovel has lost another job, in St. Paul, at least G. O. House, superintendent of that city's water bureau has adopted the principle of the electric curling iron to thaw frozen water pipes and do away with the tedious job of digging thru several feet of frozen earth to find the spot where ice clogs the underground service pipes and robs the kitchen sink of winter morning dishwater. On a winter morning a queer looking caravan drew up in front of a duplex residence where the family living on the second floor was unable to cox water from the taps. The lower floor is vacant, but a plumber has warmed the pipes thru the tenantless kitchen and cellar. Still the ice held the upper hand and under ordinary conditions a crew of men would have to ret to work in the yard to unearth the frozen pipe and remedy the difficulty with a fire in the trench. But the plumber merely called the office of the water department, recounted his troubles and sat down to wait. He was waiting when, less than an hour later, the city's electric pipe thawer arrived. Two large cables were unrolled from a large spool in the rear of the truck which carries the machine. The end of one was attached to the water pipe in the cellar. The end of the other cable was fastened to the pipe in the basement of the house next door. The twenty-five feet of underground service pipe between the house was frozen. The electric current began to sing through the cables and into the water pipe. Within five minutes the ice was melted and water flowed from the taps in the house where the morning coffee had been made with melted snow. WEALTHY YOUNG WOMAN INVENTS A PINK DYE Spends Weeks in Basement Tinkering With Tubs and Bottles—Then Cries "Eureka!" Miss Marie Riley, a young heiress of Omaha, Neb., whose fortune is reputed to run into six figures, has weared of social activity and has turned to the fascinating game of commerce. She has invented a dye which she believes promises to be a success. "Pink-a-lene" is the musical name of the dye which Miss Riley guarantees to color the most delicate fabric any shade of pink without damaging the garment. Many women desire to tint their blouses and lingerie varying shades of pink. They have heretofore been driven to the necessity of using red ink and water or extracting color from crepe tissue paper. Miss Riley tried all these tricks and found they ruined her garments. Then she decided to experiment. She made a study of the dye question, consulted specialists, and after spending weeks in the basement of her Georgia avenue home tinkering with tubs and bottles produced the finished article. Miss Riley can be seen any day now dashing about in her automobile interviewing merchants and developing her plans. "My mind is so taken up with this work I don't dare drive my own car for fear I will run some one down in my abstraction," she said, when speaking of her work, which she finds more fun than tea parties, bridge luncheons and dances. ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINE This one is Run by Power From Light ing Circuit One of the latest conveniences to be introduced for the modern housewife is an electric sewing machine of moderate cost. This is not an ordinary foot power apparatus with a motor attachment but an electrically driven machine specially designed. It may be connected with a house lighting circuit just the same as a flatron or fan, and operated at a low charge without any physical exertion whatever. The motor is compactly housed and permanently attached where it is one of sight, but within easy access. A light pressure with a foot upon the treadle starts the machine. Its speed is accelerated by increasing the pressure slightly. The needle stops almost instantly when the foot is removed. It is a matter of but a few seconds to change the machine so that it may be driven by foot power if desired. HAS ACCOUNT FILING SYSTEM Store Manager Devises a Labor and Time Saving Device The manager of stores at Plainlands and Baltic, Mich., upon the adoption of a semimonthly payday, realized that the semimonthly balancing of the hundreds of accounts carried by the store in common pass books would be too great a task without a large force of clerks. He then cast about for some system that would serve his purpose, but did not succeed in finding any on the market. Necessity was again the mother of invention and he designed a group file system with an individual file for each account. In the working of the system the clerk making a charge sale makes a record in triplicate. One copy goes to the customer, one goes to the file and one to the auditor. The total is carried forward on each slip and it is possible to tell at a glance the condition of every account and it can be picked out of the file without a second's search. Hope. I may live to be ninety, But hope if I do. The world around me Will live that long, too. MOST BRILLIANT STAR OF THE SKIES HAS MANY SATELLITES 'Wandersers' of the Colestall Family Appear to Advance Now Jupiter is by far the most interesting thing to study in the skies now. Even an opera glass or small telescope will be to light one or two of his moons. For a long time he was credited with having only four satellites, but he is now known to have at least nine—the latest one having been discovered only last year. In fact Jupiter and his family of lit the moons presents almost a model of our solar system—Jupiter himself represents the sun, and his moons represents the planets. The largest satellite is calculated to be about 2,200 miles in diameter, or say a little over half as big as our moon. Think of living on a planet where, instead of having only one moon as we do, which gives good light only a fraction of the time, there would be at least nine moons, of varying sizes and distances, all coursing around the sky at different speeds. It must puzzle the astronomers on Jupiter, if there are any there, to keep track of the movements of all these moons. And we must remember that there may be other moons which our telescopes have not yet picked up. While the clock hour hand makes two revolutions in the twenty-four hours, the sky makes one. By remembering this fact and familiarizing yourself with the stars you can tell time roughly by looking at the heavens at night. Of course when we speak of the sky "revolving" we mean only that it revolves in relation to the earth; as everyone knows, it is really the earth that is rotating, but it is simpler to think of the sky as turning. The pivot point of the skies is the north star whose position above the northern horizon is just equal to the latitude of your location. The planets are not shown on star maps, for the reason that their position is constantly changing. At present the planet Jupiter is the most brilliant object in the heavens, after the sun and moon, but it will not be found on the map. East of Andromeda is the little triangle of stars in Aries. Further east, nearer the horizon, the very brilliant groups which characterize the winter skies are just coming on the scene; they will be seen to much better advantage later in the year. A little further round to the northeast is the constellation Auriga, with its brilliant yellow star Capella. Between Auriga and the zenith is the constellation perseus, containing the wonderful variable star Algel, which is much brighter at some periods than at others. Close to the northern horizon now is Ursa Major, or the Great Bear—the big piper, as it is popularly known. The two "pointer" stars of this constellation as we know, point to polaris or the north star. The north star is not precisely at the pole, but it is near enough for practical purposes. It forms the end of the tail of the Little Bear, or Little Dipper as many call it Between the pole star and the zenith, within the Milky Way, is the brilliant little group of Cassiopeia, sometimes called the Lady's Chair. Toward the northwest is the triangular group of Lyra, with its bright silvery star Vega. Close to it, somewhat higher up in a similar triangle, with another brilliant star, called Deneb. In the west is the bright star Altair which is the uqeen. A little higher toward the zenith is the Dolphin, a diamond shaped little group which some people know as Job's Coffin. Near by is another interesting little group called Sagitta or the Arrow—this being, according to the mythology of the skies, the arrow which has just been shot at Aquila, the Eagle. Coming around to the southwest, some observers who live well to the south can see Fomahalah as a rather brilliant star. This star is not generally visible to those living in the northern part of the country, owing to its being either below the southern horizon nor lost in the haze near it. Mars is nominally a morning star but he is working around so as to be seen before long in the evening. He is in the constellation Cancer and does not rise till midnight. When found he can be distinguished by his characteristic reddish appearance. Jupiter, the king of the celestial realm just now, is exceedingly brilliant. He is in the constellation Pisces and is thus in a very favorable position for observation at a convenient hour of the evening, being about half way up to the zenith and approximate south at the hours stated. Saturn is in the constellation Gemini and does not rise until toward midnight. The other two planets, Uranus and Neptune, have little popular interest as they are seen by more than one person out of a hundred thousand, Uranus, a very faint, greenish star, is in Capricornus. Neptune, which is to tally invisible except in the largest telescopes, is in Cancer, not far from Mars. "Your cousin's medical practice, I suppose, doesn't amount to much yet."

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 Gareette, 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 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 to exceed 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 & mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum may be increased to the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children 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 may be increased from the next of kf according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such lynching is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 182 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 repossessed 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 dispure such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) law.

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 assistance, denies to a citizen, except for a citizen, able 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 recov- sed for the competent juris- diction 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 outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Beacon Reason 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: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 1 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 requested. If the Beacon-Journal had known that 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. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very interested by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.-George W. Blount. --- RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds to together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."
