Jones Calls Into Conference Some of Our Leading Citizens—Errors and Mis-statements that Hurt, Too! That sensational article in last Saturday's Plain Dealer, relative to deplorable conditions existing in the vicinity of three public schools in the 11th and 12th wards, which was copied largely by the other, local daily papers, was a most unfortunate and harmful publication, as far as our people of that section of the city are concerned, particularly because of its errors, and -mis-statements. Assist. Supt. Pickell, of school headquarters, assures us that neither his department nor the school board nor any one else connected with Cleveland's splendid public school system, had anything whatever to do with it because such rushing into the newspapers with school matters has ever been contrary to the rules of the department. The notoriously seeking Negro, responsible for it, is known. He was in attendance upon the meeting at school headquarters, last Friday afternoon, by Supt. Jones and not by "Negro ministers and welfare workers," as the unfortunate publication and other daily papers stated later. Mr. Jones invited to the conference with him and his assistants the following persons: Miss Jane E. Hunter, Goo. A. Myers, Revs. H. C. Bailey, E. A. Clarke, W. B. Sutherland, Hons. Harry C. Smith and Harry E. Davis, Attys, Alex. H. Martin, Chas. W. Chesnut, Wm. R. Green, Messrs. Wm. Connors and J. W. Wills. Only Chesnut, Wills and Green failed to attend the meeting. The presence of 66 of our school boys and girls, on last week Monday, in Juvenile Judge Geo. H. Addams' court was the immediate cause of the meeting or conference. The superintendent's department wanted the advise and help of prominent members of our group in dealing with the problem made bare by the summoning court of so large a number of our school-boys and girls. It had carefully collected evidence against a number of bad places in the wards mentioned and one in the East End which was made known to the meeting or conference. The question was as to the proper course to pursue in order to protect the school-children, without reference to race or class, in that and other sections of the city, and not simply dur children in the wards mentioned. Mr. Jones and his assistants did not approach the matter from a purely racial viewpoint and did not stress the misconduct of our punils, tho' about one-half of those cited to Judge Addams' court were found guilty in part or whole of the charges brought against them. Just as the editor of this paper did a year ago, last fall, Supt. Jones and his assistants called attention to miscrowdy immoral conditions existing in the 11th and 12th wards, and the East End, some of them "too shocking for utterance"; statements were made to the effect that white men were "hanging about" and entering school buildings to make dates with our girls and others; that school-boys and girls, and 14 and 18 years of age, were being entertained in houses of ill repute, and that whisky and drugs are being peded freely. And this was true. None of the conferences said that the police were not making any effort to clean up the district but tidy say that it was THEIR big job, and no one else. Rev. W. B. Sutherland told the meeting that on several different occasions he had been compelled to chase had white boys and girls from his church when they thought empty and no one watching, and the he had several times complained of this so the Central High school authorities. Some of the other school in the 11th-12th wards district which are hardest "hit" by evil surroundings, are Kennard Junior High and Case-Woodland, elementary school and there are others. School-Children Brought to Cou School-Children Brought to Court. Juvenile Judge George S. Addams recently instituted a clean-up of immorality and drinking among our boys and girls of Kennard Junior High school. Court. Investigators and school trust officers discovered that sixty-six children were making a practice of attending a woman's house in Norman Ave. S., E., off E. 105th St., where all manner of dancing was encouraged, liquor sold and rooms rented. Judge Addams assigned probation officers to clean up the situation, and within a week the entire number who had been in the house were brought before him. He sent the woman who ran the "dancing school" to the Marysville reformatory, and seht two dozen of the fifteen to sixteen-year-old boys and girls to state industrial schools. A half dozen girls admitted immorality in the woman's home, and others pointed out various offenders. About half the sixty-six were held blame less as they had only visited the place. All the school children testified that the woman sold liquor and charged admission to her place. Since then, Judge Addams was informed that the place on Norman Ave. was only one of a number of similar dance halls that were being run. They were organized by a man, his informant said, and the man hired women to operate the places. Parents Seem Uninformed. Parents Seem Unanimous. When a wave of immorality hits a district, like this one was hit, the effect is terrible," said Judge Addams. "Many families are dragged into it in some way or other, and the strange part is, that none of the parents suspect what is going on. However, the oxodus of delinquents to Lancaster and Delaware will cause them to think a little. The decent people of the neighborhood have a right not to be contaminated with this sort of cattle, and should not be forced to send their children to school with them." In connection with the foregoing, recall, if you can, the speeches delivered, nightly, in the campaign in Ward 11, a year ago last fall, by the editor of The Gazette, Rev. H. C. Bailley, and others. Saturday's Plain Dealer publication, and other daily papers copying it, did Rev. Bailley an injustice that amounts almost to personal injury. They quoted him as saying just what he did NOT say, and caused a great amount of undeserved abuse to be heaped upon him, all week, throut the city. Miss Hunter said she had made an investigation and had compiled a long list of houses of questionable repute in her vicinity which she had turned over to the police but had heard nothing of it since week, thrust out the city. Miss Hunter said she had made an investigation and had compiled a long list of houses of questionable repute in her vicinity which she had turned over to the police but had heard nothing of it since. The editor of The Gazette charged that conditions in the eleventh ward were permitted to go from bad to worse under Mayors Harry L. Davis and William S. FitzGerald. "Since Mayor Kohl took office, last year," he said, "there has undoubtedly been improvement, but there is crying need of a great deal more. You think conditions are bad in the 11th and 12th wards. Let me tell you, they are infinitely worse than you think they are." Mr. Smith urged the superintendent's department to do its clear duty, to our unfortunate school girls, by insisting that the local Maternity hospitals either stop discriminating against them or feel the weight of the influence of the superintendent's department, at least, with the Community Chest fund which supports these hospitals. "They seem to forget that hundreds of my people of this city are regular contributors to that fund," he added, with warmth. "This is not a racial matter, but a community menace that we are discussing and it must be met by both white and colored," Atty. Alex. H. Martin declared. Wm Connors said that lax supervision in the schools was undoubtedly the cause of many of the evils complained of reaching the pupils. The others, with the exception of Dr. Clarke, expressed themselves freely and the meeting was a success, as an outline for future effective action was completed and taken over by the school department officials. Saint, Jones and Assistants A. C. Eldridge and Frank G. Pickell; George E. Whitman, director of the department of attendance, and the lady in charge of the department's probation officer's department, were the school authorities in attendance upon the conference. It was the basis of some timely remarks, Sunday morning, by Dr. E. A. Clarke of St. John's A. M. E. church, Rev H. M. Kingsley of Mt. Zion Cong. church, Rev Suthern of St. Andrew's P. E. church, Rev Saul A. Lucas at Cory M. E. church, Rev Bailey of Antioch Baptist church and others of our pastors. The conference was a good thing and Supt Jones is to be praised for calling it assisted by Assist. Supt. Pickell and Mr. Myers. Aftermath. Two specific charges of policemen making improper advances to delinquent colored girls they had been ordered to arrest, promising them immunity if they would comply, were reported to police heads, the first of the week, by juvenile court authorities. This was the latest revelation in the wards 11 and 12 immorality situation. With the specific charges, the court authorities also referred to police captains numerous instances of police failing to come to raid (Continued on Page 2) Atlanta, Ga.—The semi-annual meetings of the stockholders and directors of The Service Co. and its subsidiary concerns, The Standard Life Insurance Co. and The Citizens Trust Co. of this city, Jan. 16, 17 and 18 brought about a remarkable gathering here of our capitalists.

Jossey Miles, "Black Swan Record Star" and late of "The Shuffle Along Co." is delighting packed houses at The Globe theater, this week, more than ably assisted by "The Black Swan Troubadours". They are giving really wonderful nightly entertainments. Do not miss this treat. Next week's bill, includes Copeland & Barbour, Cornell & Wade, India Allen, "The Original Dixie Kids" and Young & Fischer, all artists de luxe. Then there is the feature picture, something of unusual interest, exceptionally pleasing and satisfactory. One of the secrets of the wonderful success of The Globe theater has never been mentioned to date and we are going to let our readers. "In on that, too." It is the splendid spirit of co-operation that is always in evidence between Manager Bob Davis and his enterprising employers. It really is most gratifying. Be sure to go to The Globe, next week (of course you have been there or intend to attend, this week). Did the Color Rub Off? Stories told. Saturday, by two fourteen-year-old girls, who were arrested in a room on Woodland Ave. S. E. with two boys, implicated two policemen as having made advances to them, and promised them immunity from arrest if the girls submitted. Judge Addams declared, after listening to the stories of the girls that he thought the officers were innocent. After cross-questioning the girls for a half hour and receiving a number of evasive replies, he said he thought both were "pretty good liers." The officers testified they found the two girls, and two boys in ong room. The woman who occupied the house out but the police said she knew what was going on. She was charged with contributing to delinquency. Sourns Her Greeting. However, no evidence was furnished to prove that she know, and Judge Addams ordered her discharged, after sending the two boys, who were over 18, to the workhouse, and the girls to the girls' industrial school at Delaware, O. The woman, hearing the court's decision, came up and started to wring his hand. "Get away from me! Don't shake hands with me!" said the judge, drawing away from her. "I think you're guilty, but they haven't provided it." Then he went; over to a bowl and washed his hands. CORT & BERKMAN'S NEW STORE. On Saturday, Feb. 3d, our Central Ave. neighborhood will see a new store, a real shoe store, onen on the corner of E. 37th St. and Central Ave. The name of Cort & Berkman is well and most favorably known in the district of E. 55th St. and Central Ave. for their good quality shoes, reasonable prices, reliable service and courteous treatment of patrons. The store was formerly owned by Mr. Polster who has retired from business. DOINGS OF THE RACE T. McCants Stewart, Esq., former New York City and Honolulu, Hawaii attorney, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia, Africa, died at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, W. I. Jan. 7. He was the father of Gilchrist Stewart of N. Y. City. The Chicago City Council has voted to "fire" all city Ku Klux Klan employees. Now let Councilman Tom Flaming start the same thing in Cleveland's city council. He has served six years without doing anything material for his people. Mrs. Eveline Bolton, age 125, according to the Oglethorpe county, Ga. records, is dead. She was the great-grandmother of 191 children. She left a 99-year-old "child." Peyton W. Lemon and Mrs. George Jones, pres. and first vice-pres., respectively, of the N. O. S. S. Institute, were in Springfield, last week, to arrange the proceedings of the meeting to be held in St. John's church in July. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS County Auditor Zangerlé Asks Probe As Expense of $4,700 for a Casket and $4,450 for Legal Aid Is Shown by Administrator The high cost of living, be it ever so lefty, is as nothing in comparison with the high cost of being dead and burl d. So excessive are the expenses incident to dying, as reported to County Auditor John A. Zangerle, that Zangerle ordered an investigation by the county prosecutor's office yesterday. The specific purpose of the inquiry is to determine how the estate of Edward R. Brandon, who died little more than a year ago, has dwindled in that time from $16,648.19 in cash and bonds to $286.03. expenses aggregating $4,450; what like is a $4,700 bronze burial casket; how come the $2,200 monument and spacious $782 lot in a prominent cemetery to be necessary expenses in the total absence of mourning relatives, and by what curious turn of fate, the undertaker, lawyer, administrator and others overlooked the $286 still left of the $16,644 estate. We are not accusing anybody of grabbing a dead man's money. We could not with good grace charge mere individuals with filling their nockets at the expense of a corpse Schools Lose Funds. Inasmuch as Brandon left no known heirs, Zangerle sait, the entire residue of the estate, after funeral and other attendant expenses had been paid, should revert under the law to the state to be credited to the county school fund. That residue is now listed as the $286.03. Funeral expenses of $8,147, medical attention costs of $822, legal service expenses of $4,450 were included in the report filed in probate court by T. W. Walker, 2845 Pine Ave., administrator of the estate. The detailed expenses were listed as follows: One bronze casket ... $4,700.00 Funeral ... 465.00 Cemetery lot ... 782.00 Monument ... 2,200.00 Nursing ... $20.00 Physician ... 2.00 Legal expenses ... 4,450.00 Debt to administrator ... 2,229.00 Administrator's expenses ... 751.00 Adminis. commission ... 432.96 Probate cost ... 10.00 Total ... $16,362.16 J. A. Rogers, named as the undertaker, declined to describe the $4,700 set for the benefit of an awestricken News reporter. Officials of the Lake View Cemetery association said the $782 cemetery lot was very choice one, both as to size and location. It is a "monument lot," large enough for five or six graves, they said. Zangerle Asks Quiz. Zangerle asks Quiz. The debt to the administrator, according to his report, was for board and lodging from Nov. 15, 1915, to Dec. 19, 1921—$2,229. The bill of 320 for nursing was paid to Rebecca Walker and the amount for legal expenses to Attorney Joseph Dembe, the report shows. Dembe said a large port of his expenses had been for traveling about in search of possible heirs. The report also shows that only two automobiles were used in the funeral. Zangerle, who discovered the shrinkage after the administrator applied for an estimate of the inheritance tax due, requested Assistant County. Prosecutor Thobaben to investigate. The accounts must be approved eventually by Probate Judge Alexander Hadden. But Zangerle also took other action. He notified Walker that Brandon had neglected to pay personal property taxes for the past eleven years and that the full amount, including penalties, must now be paid the county. The amount as estimated by Zangerle, is just $4.646.34.—Sunday News-Leader, Jan. 21, '23. County officials do well to make that rigorous examination into the affairs of a deceased Cleveland whose riches look wings so rapidly. Though he was possessed of securities and currency valued at $16.64.19 when he died, a year or more ago, the man's estate is now mentioned as amounting to just $286.03. A great deal of effort has been put forth in this community to spread the gospel of thrift. The effect may be most unfortunate if the public gets the idea that hard-earned wealth is as transitory as all that. But the county officers have better reason than the state of public opinion for their official curiosity as to where the money went. The decedent had no heirs. The law says his money goes to the public school fund of the state, or county, after burial and other expenses were deducted. If expenses are to eat up the whole estate in every such instance, the school fund will get no such godsend, the law's sayings will seem to mean very little and, what is more, voters may think the county officials are not up and doing every minute. Again, auditors and such are only human at times. They may be as curious as the rest of Cuyahoga county's population concerning the answers to the numerous riddles contained in the administrator's report —why a last illness involving $320 worth of nursing involved only $3 worth of medical services; how the landlord and administrator combined chanced to allow so affluent & boarder to have board and lodging for nothing for more than six years until the unpaid board bill came to $2,229; how a two-car funeral happened to cost $465; wherefore so simple a case called for legal ex IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS ance! 62 To Die!

IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTNED, 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 the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guits.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. ```markdown ``` when it seems the county auditor purposes demanding $4,646.34 in the name of the public as personal taxes the deceased omitted paying through eleven years. But we are sure all citizens will welcome exhaustive inquiry into the interesting case. Lest they despair of ever laying by enough assets to cover even the cost of their own last s.rites and such, we would venture a cursory opinion that the main reason the cost was more than $16,000 in this man's case was that he had that much.—Editorial, Cleveland News, Jan. 25, '23. NEW YORK CITY—Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox, has made a definite bid to stage a heavyweight championship match, next summer, between Jack Dempsey and his most formidable challenger, Harry Wills. Neither Frazee nor Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, would discuss its terms, but it was said the baseball magnate's offer included a bonus of $100,000 for Kearns' signature to a contract. Frazee said his proposition was confined to a Wills bout alone, so confident is he of what Willis will do to Dempsey. Additional Locals Miss Lucy James is recovering at Lakeside hospital. A rare tapestry of the Madonna and child, brought by Bishop Joseph Schrembs from Europe, will be a gift of the bishop to the parish of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, 2354 E. 79th St., when the new church for colored Catholics, now under construction, is ready for its congregation about five weeks hence, Rev. Thomas E. McKenney, pastor, announced, last week. Bishop Schrembs obtained the gift from Cardinal La Fontalne while he was abroad, last summer. It is the second gift the bishop has made to this parish. The first was his check for $1,000. The tapestry will be placed in the new church with ceremony and will serve the purpose of a shrine. Father McKenney is striving to increase the Tabernacle Society of the parish to several hundred. This society has provided much of the altar linens of this parish thus far. Wonder if those Afro-American Catholies opposed to the establishment of this segregated church and parish will joint it, or be forced by the bishop to do so? This is an interesting question just at this time. --- The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at 'the postoffice ir Cleveland Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, FEB. 3, 1923 Prof. Kelly Miller's suggestion of an all-race conference is a good one but his suggestion of the nation's capital, Washington, D. C., as the meeting place is a poor, very poor one. A much worse place for such a meeting, could hardly be found. WEST INDIANS KNOW Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has joined those who believe the British debt to the United States could be partly liquidated by turning the British islands in the West Indies over to this country. He would give the people of those possessions control over their own government, but they would be under the general "protection" of the United States, and this country would get additional protection for the Panama Canal because of that fact. The plan has much merit in it, from the point of view of both the United States and Great Britain, but none from that of the great majority of the inhabitants of the islands, who are colored and know of the lynch-murdering, disfranchisement, and other discrimination on the score of race and color, condoned by the U. S. government. "JIM CROW-NEGROES." The Hon. Frederick Douglass, in commenting on the assent, years ago, of Isaiah T. Montgomery jo the disfranchisement of Afro-Americans in Mississippi, said: "Montgomery is not a conscious traitor, although his act is treason." If the "Old Man Eloquent" (Douglass) were alive today what would he say of those "Negroes" who condone the "lynch-murder" of "The Black Battalion" in order to "curry favor", and make apologies for other white persons who insult and mistreat our people? Would he have condoned Booker T. Washington's "doctrine of surrender", praised "The Birth of a Nation", as some "Negroes" did; praised speeches of prominent white Republican government officials and others that were daggers thrust into the very vitals of our people? No, no, no! May God forgive the "jim-crow Negre"! WORK THAT COUNTS! Activity of the Toledo branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has resulted in pledges, by the editors of the three daily papers of that city, that the word Negro will be spelled with a capital N; that the insulting word "negress" will be discarded; and that orders will be given to mention race only where such mention would be applied to other races. The Toledo branch worked through a committee consisting of Rev. P. A. Nichols, Atty's. B. H. Fisher, and Albertus Brown. This committee called on the editors of the Toledo Blade, Times, and News-Bee, leaving with each editor a written memorandum, with suggestions for better relations between the races. The suggestions have been adopted by the three dailies. Here is a valuable "pointer" for the local branch of the same organization. But IT has had so very many "pointers" (and kicks) and has done NOTHING really worth while, as compared to the above, we have lost all hope of its ever becoming active enough to do anything like it, under its present leadership. Its president, (Atty. Wm. R. Green) was refused the privilege of trying on a hat in Wm. Taylor, Son & Co.'s store here in this city, many weeks ago, and even THAT did not awaken the organization to action. Is there any hope for it, as now controlled? Lord, have mercy! SHOOT STRAIGHT AND FAST The Associated Press reported that four Afro-Americans were killed in Florida, recently, and two whites. The fact is fourteen whites were killed and two Afro-Americans. The brave (?) mob, after the men who killed and dispersed them had fled, bravely (?) went and shot a woman and her son, and that brought the number to four Afro-Americans. The Associated Press in the south is sworn not to tell the truth when any trouble happens between the races. If fifty whites lie dead before them they cannot see them, but in their diseased imagination see two hundred Afro-Americans, dead and mutilated. This is nothing but a propaganda to try to make our race everywhere believe that it is foolish to resist the whites. Oh! yes, in Florida the mob, protested by the sheriff, burned the homes, churches and lodges of our people after our brave boys had taught them a much-needed and severe lesson. We do not like to hear of such scenes as were enacted in Florida, but when they come let our people shoot straight and fast! Kill the members of the mob, for that is the only law in the south to punish them. Very often officers of the law are in the mob, and the mob is as humane as the average southern jury. 66 SCHOOL CHILDREN APPREHENDED The apprehension of those sixty-six Afro-American school-boys and girls, and their appearance in Juvenile Court of Cleveland, last week Monday, and the consequent revelations in the daily press of the city, presents a problem that has been steadily growing worse here in Cleveland in the last six years—ever since the influx from the South began. There is no use trying to deny this fact, but it will be ever so much better for all concerned to look the problem square in the face and begin to arrange to afford all the assistance possible to better the distressingly sad conditions. Our people, led by the school-board and our leading citizens, should stop "quibbling" over "side-issues" in connection with the problem and address themselves directly to the miserable conditions referred to with a view to helping better them at once. It is a problem that reaches, in its finality, right into many homes in wards 11 and 12, particularly, and it is there that parents, and others in charge of children, should do a work that apparently has been too largely neglected by entirely too many. The moral status of all of our people in this community is being lowered by the shocking conditions revealed and, therefore, makes it absolutely incumbent upon our local ministry to show an activity in its efforts to help solve this problem such as it has never indicated in the past. TOO MUCH "MOUTH"; TOO LIT TLE ACTION! J. A. G. LuValle, city editor of the Washington (D. C.) Tribune, under the head "Review of Year's Activities" in his paper of Dec. 30, "22, had the following: "The leadership of our organizations must be placed in the hands of our own people. We can never reach that perfection of progress so much desired until the race is led by its own men. Not a single one of these organizations is doing what it might do for the real unilt and progress of the race. Among the most prominent may be mentioned: The U. N. I. A., The N. N. B. League, The N. A. A. C., headed by a white man; The N. U. League, under white direction; The Equal Rights League, with Negro president; The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, headed by a colored woman (Hallie O. Brown, who boasted of making 42 speeches for a white man against a Negro candidate for Gov. Washington); The National Medical Association, with colored man president; etc., etc. Finally the year has been one of progress and race arousing consciousness. When fully develop our racial consciousness to that of the Jew or the Irish we will be able to write a different review, with more outstanding accomplishments and with more pride of those accomplishments than we are able to do this year. Let the "people think." TELL IT BROTHER, TELL IT! O, if there were only some way to make them think and act more, and do less talking! We can "beat the world" talking, adopting resolutions, making protests and threats, but there it ends, as a rule. If we only would follow up our talk, etc., with sustained, effective action, the result of careful thought and planning, like the Irish and Jews, there would be some "outstanding accomplishments," every year, to chronicle "with pride," like the victory at Springfield. O., in recent months, the first real victory of the kind this race of ours has won since the close of the War of the Rebellion. MISS HALLEES, FORTY-TWO SPEECHES At the request of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (white), U. S.

Wesleyan Ladies' Aid's supermater at the pastor's Friday eventing. of the N. A. A. C. P., will be removed and that the bill shall not contain any other provisions objectionable to our people. Secretary Johnson, in sending out the above information, says that he wired Miss Haille Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, O., urging her organization to protest to Senator Capper against the objectionable clause referred to. The Gazette really would like to know whether or not Miss Haille has done as requested. We have our doubts, because we well remember how, many years ago, Miss Haille with a Mrs. Thurman of Michigan, when on a trip to England, turned against Miss Florence Balgarnie, an English woman, who at the time was our race's most active, outspoken and effective friend in that country; a woman who was pleading our cause there, night and day, insisting that we not only be treated as human beings in all parts of this country and every other but that we be given ALL the rights and privileges of citizenship that all other people enjoyed. Miss Haille's most reprehensible act made an impression upon us at the time that we will never be able to get rid of. In the campaign, last fall, when the editor of the Gazette stood as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, in an effort which was in no sense personal but royal, pure and simple. Miss Haille O. Brown again turned her back upon her own people's cause and, in her eagerness to do the bidding of white men and women in Ohio politics, toured the state in the interest of a WHITE candidate for whom, according to our contemporary, the Washington (D. C.) Tribune, she "boasts" of making forty-two necесes. We are not making extended references to the scurrilous, slanderous and libelous initial attacks she made upon the editor because we understand she discontinued them promptly upon the receipt of a letter from us warbling her that to continue to do so would result in legal action that would prove very expensive to her. Is it, therefore, surprising in the least that, in the face of the foregoing, we have our doubts of Miss Hollie Brown's complying with the request of Secretary Johnson that she lead her organization to protest to Senator Capper against the objectionable clause in his bill prohibiting intermarriage? Why she based her vicious initial attacks upon the editor last fall, upon the lying statements, made to her (so she claimed) by Cleveland woman, that "the editor of The Gazette was married to a white woman." This, too, in the face of the fact that she had a personal acquaintance with the editor extending over more than a score of years and was much better acquainted with him than any one of the women who told her the miserable campaign lies relative to him. Too many white men's "n—s" have been developed by politics among the men of the race. God forbid that there should be any such women developed among us by politics or anything else. proved very enjoyable.—Rev.

That of course made it impossible for him to render his decision he ised, and the board decided for Monarch. While a favorable decision is as certain, it is feared that an attempt to get Supt. McCord out of the attempt has gotten the board and himself into may cause further delay and give us more trouble. However, we have every confidence in Judge Krapp as a jurist and man.

At the same time, school board heads announced that they had begun to remedy conditions in junior high schools, attended principally by colored children, by the proposed organization of a citizens' committee and appointment of an additional home visitor. **Will Talk to Mayor Kohler.** "We intend to go over the situation with city officials as soon as the mayor can see us." Supt. R. G. Jones committee will act as a quarrel-room to girls who have been guilty of one offence. This will be a sort of probation system to prevent girls acquiring a court record by one false move. "The cases are fragrant enough to require investigation." Asst. Supt. F. G. Pickell stated. "The investigators will be able to get the facts and acquaint the girls' parents with the truth and make the girls themselves realize the seriousness of the problem. Chronic transgressors, without reference to class or race, ought to be sent to industrial schools immediately. I have already appointed a home visitor for Kennard Junior High school. There is one visitor at Central Junior High. It may be necessary to appoint another." The charges made against the police placed on Chief Juvenile Probaion Officer Thomas C.

Other complaints that were referred to police captains were: 1—That police will not respond to calls to raid immoral houses in the Central avenue district. 2—That so-called raids have been made, and police have come out without doing anything. 3—That police have had knowledge of vice conditions among children there, but have done nothing to stop it. The worst resort has been cleaned out by juvenile court authorities, it was pointed out.

Our local ministers meeting at St. John's church.

Rococo Conkling Bruce, Jr., who was recently refused the use of the dormitory and refectories for freshmen at Harvard University, is the grandson of U. S. Senator B. K. Bruce (deceased), whose wife was a Miss Wilson, our first local public school-teacher. His father, R. C. Bruce, Sr., was a assistant superintendent, DC public schools of Washington, DC. He was a few years ago, in charge of the "jim crow" schools of that city. The Middle West Coal Company, a new business enterprise, is asking for your trade and has far more than a passing claim upon it. The U. S. census gives our local population as 35,000. If there are not enough in Middle West Coal Co. "blossom like a rose" with success as a result of their patronage, then it is high time we were "jumping off." "Get busy" and pass along the word.

P. and his leadership of the Crisis "in the spring"? Down in Birmingham, Ala., last week, a pretty young girl of the race, and her 23-year-old lower (white), were found dead outside her home. They had been killed with an ax. We are told that this was the fifth case of the kind in that city in the last few months, O, "we are coming." When the Afro-American learns to back up his "protests" of all kinds with spirited and lasting action this race of ours is going "to get somewhere" and not until then The eternal "protesting," without the action referred to, is getting tiresome even to the thoughtful of our people. It long ago disgusted "the other fellow." Mayor Kohler has not been available to newspaper men to any considerable extent since last week Monday night's council meeting, when he kept their pencils moving easily to record the long and now amous "lecture" on the gas problem he delivered to the council members, to whom he referred as "a bunch of nus" and a "you birds". He was reported ill the first of the week, with the flu "the birds" to which he was actually last Monday night, and took their medicine supinely and never even offered to reply. Yes. The Eleventh Ward Councilman (?), Thos. W. Fleming, was in attendance. Arnt you proud of him? No? Well, well! Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts says he did not promise James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill would not be abandoned on the terms of the U. S. Senate's Democratic filibusters. Johnson said he did. The latter, some weeks ago, published what he said was a letter written by Perry A. Howard to a prominent Republican of Delaware or New Jersey. He said Howard to have boasted of work he did within the Dyer bill. Howard says that Johnson did him a great injustice by so doing. Lodge and Howard have "put Johnson in a hole" it seems, from which we would be pleased to see him emerge "with colors flying." But will he? We are patiently waiting to see what he has to say to both Lodge and Howard. Perry is backing up his statement, Johnson with a challenge to the Dyer or Johnson, or both, to debate the Dyer bill question between him and the N. A. A. C. P. secretary. How now, "Brother" Johnson? Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the teachers and for professional. But somehow, for me, Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out 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. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes.

CERTIFICATES (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O. — Sup't. McCord and the Board of Education received a knock-out jolt, recently when Judge Frank W. Geiger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurrier of the board to the petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour for the judge to read. The demurrier admitted the truth of the allegations of the petition, to the effect that the board of education is, by transfer of pupils, seeking to establish at the Fulton building, a school exclusively for our children. The court's ruling referred to a precedent set by the Ohio supreme court in a similar case and indicated that he would allow it in the now renewed Judge Geiger said it held that inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, repealed the specific statute which permitted the establishment of an exclusively colored school, that separate schools for colored children in Ohio have been If some of our civic organizations do not take a little interest in Central Ave. and soon, there will be no new pavement, tracks and a better street-car schedule, this year.

Continuing, the court said that 'in the Fulton school district there are about three hundred colored and hundred white pupils who were enrolled said school in 1920-21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the same, but for the fact that the board of education is attempting, unlawfully, to establish and maintain said school as a school exclusively for colored children; that the board has not declared to do so indirectly, and that it has transferred all white children to other districts from the Fulton school district, refusing them admittance in their own district; that such acts have been done solely because of race or color of said children; and that they are all parate powers of defendant, and a waster of money - of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs.' it better.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEB. 3. 1923 U. S. INVESTIGATORS DISCOVER ASSOCIATION'S BIG FACTOR IN MARKETING Show Damage to and Losses of Animals in Transit. Experts of the department of agriculture are just completing a very exhaustive study of the meat situation in this country, and during the course of their work they have tabulated some interesting matters in this connection. One of the things that is of particular interest is the marked variation which they found in the methods of marketing meat animals in inerent sections of the United States. Shipping to the large centralized markets, selling to local butchers and packers, and the sale of farm-prepared means to dealers or consumers were the three general methods of marketing found to be in most common use. The officials found that the bulk of the animals from the central states is sold through the centralized markets, while some form of local marketing predominates in the extreme eastern, western and southern sections. The report of the experts shows that co-operative associations of cattle raisers are becoming an important factor in marketing. Seven hundred and fifty organizations which market cattle in a co-operative way are now in existence in fifteen states. Four hundred and thirty of these are primarily livestock shipping associations. The greatest activity of this sort was found in Minnesota, where 215 cooperative livestock shipping associations are located. The department specialists state that these associations bring greater returns to the farmers because of the reduction of marketing expenses and the realization of the prevailing prices at the centralized markets, and that they are also valuable because of their educational features. During the course of the investigations the experts gave considerable time to the study of the transit of animals. Great variations were found to exist in the losses of and damage to live stock in transit on different railroads. On one road the claims paid amounted to 19 per cent of the revenue during a certain period, and on another to less than 5 per cent. Another interesting feature of the work of the officials in this study was the tracing or several typical lots of beef cattle from producer to consumer to secure information as to the relative cost of the different factors or steps in the process of marketing animals and the proportions of the final price reaching the farmer and other parties of the transactions. This was done both through centralized markets and where the animals were disposed of locally. In the former case the farmer's share of the gross returns were found to range from 54 per cent to 85 per cent, while from 2 per cent to 5 per cent went to pay market expenses, 2 per cent to 9 per cent was received by the packers and 8 per cent to 33 per cent by the retailers. In the local sales from 62 per cent to 84 per cent of the gross returns was received by the farmer and from 15 per cent to 38 per cent by the retailer. The detailed figures indicate, however, that even when account is taken of the fact that lower grade stock is sold locally the returns from such sales are not as great relatively as those from sales through centralized markets. FOOTBALL IS ANCIENT Game as Played in Old Days Was Both Noisy and Rough. According to the new Encyclopedia Britannica, football is one of the most ancient of games, and the manner of playing it 2,000 years ago was not very much different from the modern sport. In Greece the game was played by a great number of persons divided into two opposing parties. In Rome, not only was the ball kicked but carrying it was permissible. "Tradition ascribes the introduction of the game in northern Europe to the Roman legions," says the Britannica. "Regarding the origin of the game in Great Britain, the Roman tradition has been generally accepted, although Irish antiquarians assert that a variety of football has been played in Ireland for over 2,000 years." Edward II forbade the playing of football in 1314 in consequence of "the great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls." Both Henry VIII and Elizabeth enacted laws against football, which, then and under the Stuarts and the Georges, seems to have been violent to the point of brutality. Regarding the game in the United States, the Britannica says that from colonial times until 1871, one form of football was played on the village greens and by the students of colleges. From 1871 the more modified form has been h. vogue. There are more than 100,000 acres of nip palms in the Philippines, and the insular government is endeavoring to produce cheap sugar and alcohol from the crops.

Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court, himself the Eighth District Ohio, has served the Akron, O. April 25, 1919. Labor, The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, i venture to ask you to take a separate cover, the Ohio law Report Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, de- cided 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.
