HARRIS Addresses The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, at Noon, and a Mixed Audience in the Evening A plea for co-operation between the colored and the white races was voiced at noon, Tuesday, by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, in an address to the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. "The white people are the ruling, controlling, dominating, directing element of this country because they are, numerically and financially, in the majority. History, however, teaches us that they, like others in the past, will rule, control, dominate and direct just so long as they meet out justice and fairness to all without reference to class (race) or color; and they have the best of everything," he said. "When a Negro, then, shows an inclination to be with them, it is not because he wants to be with white people as such, but because he too wants to get the best as to land, position, education, comforts, conveniences and protection. Northerners ought to interest themselves in the progress the south is making toward a solution of the race problem, because the problem promises to grow more acute in the north." Dr. Moton believes that peace between the races is only to be achieved by full and frank discussion of their relationships. Continuing, he said: "Many Negroes are leaving the south for strong economic reasons, such as crop failures, the boll weevil and labor shortage in the industrial centers, and still more of them will come north. That will complicate your problem. It would be wise for you in Cleveland to talk it over frankly, with my people here, to get at the facts in their condition economically, socially and industrially, and avoid the possibility of misunderstanding and friction: We cannot have peace and goodwill in this world unless we are willing to talk over things together, to talk over our difficulties and misunderstandings—yes and our prejudices. The failure of the world to talk over things frankly is responsible for the great war through which we have not yet fully passed." In the evening, at East Tech High school auditorium, a mixed audience that filled it listened to an even better talk than Dr. Moton made at the Chamber of Commerce at noon. There (at the Chamber), he seemed more or less embarrassed and hardly free to speak like he wanted to and did in the evening. A glee club furnished music and several prominent men of both races occupied places on the platform. A $1.25 a plate banquet at the P. W. A. annex, in honor of Dr. Moton, followed the speaking at East Tech. Writes "The Old Reliable" Tuskegee Institute, Ala., February 17, 1923. Hon Harry. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith: I am writing you this letter to let you know that I am to address the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. Tuesday noon, Feb. 27th. I presume that you are a member of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and will be present at the meeting. At any rate I sincerely hope that I may have the pleasure of meeting you while I am in Cleveland. I recall with pleasure the interesting talk we had the last time we were, together. This is my first speaking engagement in Cleveland since I succeeded Dr. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, and I am, therefore, anxious to meet as many of my friends there as possible. Canton, O., Feb. 24, '23. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am enclosing a post-office money-order for the renewal of my subscription for one year. I like the paper! It is just fine! Very truly yours, J. C. Snyder. Johnny Wilson, E. 30th St., who dled, Feb. 18, was burled, Feb. 21, from Mt. Zion Cong, church, Climax lodge, K. P., assisting the pastor in the funeral services. Johnny was well and favorably known. The widow, father and brother and a host of friends and acquaintances mourn his demise. DEMAND LAWYER RETURN RETURN FUNDS IN THE BRANDON ESTATE BATTLE DEMAND LAWYER RETURN RETURN FUNDS IN THE BRANDON ESTATE BATTLE Attorney Admits Receiving Much of the $16,648 In An Alleged Search for Heirs Legal services commanding fees of $4,454 in connection with the death of Edward R. Brandon, whose estate shrunk in the year after his death from $16,648.19 to $286.03, consisted of conferences with the administrator and two trips—one to Tampa, Pla., and one to Chicago—in futile search for possible heirs. So testified Atty. Joseph Dembe (white), listed as the recipient of the large fees, in a journing before Probate Judge Hadden, last week Friday. The hearing was on complaint of T. W. Walker, 2845 Pine Aye., administrator of the transitory estate. Dembe admitted receiving it all with the exception of about $400, and Walker demanded that the attorney be required to show cause why he should not return the funds to the estate inasmuch as he had "rendered no real service." Upon examination by Atty. A. H. Martin, representing Walker, Dembe added spending thirteen days of February, 1922, on the trip to Tampa four days after drawing $2,440 two installments. He said the arch in schools and churches was witness, and that he hadn't written the Tampa authorities in advance because he had "not thought it necessary." He failed to recall the names or locations of any of the schools or churches or persons he had consulted. In Chicago, he said, he visited only a newspaper office and left after asking the paper to search for heirs. Then he returned without trying the schools and churches, he testified. The hearing is a result of an investigation by County Auditor Zangerle and County Prosecutor Stephen. The residue of the estate after payment of funeral expenses should go, under Ohio laws, to the state, because no legal heirs were found. But a $782 cemetery lot and a $4,700 bronze casket were included in the funeral expenses listed. Only two automobiles were used in the funeral, J. A. Rogers was the undertaker. The detailed expenses listed are as follows: One bronze casket . . . $4,700.00 Funeral . . . 465.00 Cemetery lot . . . 782.00 Monument . . . 2,200.00 Nursing . . . 320.00 Legal expenses . . . 4,450.00 Debt to administrator . . . 2,229.00 Administrator's expenses . . . 751.00 Admins. commission . . . 452.96 Probate cost . . . 10.10 The debt to the administrator, T. W. Walker, according to his report, was for board and 'lodging from Nov. 15, 1915, to Dec. 19, 1921—$2,229. The bill of $220 for nursing was paid to his wife, Rebecca Corom Walker. The accounts must finally be approved by Probate Judge Alexander Hadden, Co. Aud. Zangerle 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. Undertaker Rogers and Administrator Walker will undoubtedly be the next to have hearings before Judge Hadden. Veterans of 24th Inf. Now "TinSoldiers!" --- Fort Benning. Ga.—Unrest among our soldiers of the 24th U.S. Inf. stationed here continues, despite reports to the contrary, and over and above sundry activities taken up in the interest of the soldiers in an effort to offset the bad feeling created when the regiment was first brought here. Not long ago there was an inspection at the fort by Gen. Farnsworth, chief of infantry. The 24th was placed between two southern outfits (white). Both of them were armed, one with rifles, the other with pistols. The 24th Reg. was forced to stand inspection without arms. This was a keen insult to the veterans who have fought in many of the country's wars. They declared they had never seen anything to equal it. They present the fact that they are being employed, as soldiers, to handle lumber at the sawmill, cut downtrees, roll logs, dlg ditches, build bridges and grade roads. Their resentment is based on the evidence that they are picked out for this particular kind of service, whereas the white soldiers are not. Some of the older soldiers of the 24th are content to take things as they have come, believing that the ups and downs are all a part of the life of a good soldier, but the majority is discontented and the regiment is threatened with depletion through the disinclination of those now serving to re-enlist. JUDGE A. N. SUMMERS Springfield, O.—The above is an excellent portrait of Judge Augustus N. Summers, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, who as chief counsel directed the legal proceedings which resulted in such a signal victory for our people of this city in their recent fight to prevent the introduction of a "jim-crow" school. It was the large experience in and profound knowledge of the law possessed by Judge Summers that enabled him to penetrate and expose the ingenuous schemes by which Supt. Geo. McCord, and the male members of the local school board hoped to describe the public and evade the law. McCord and two members of the board, Coppenhaver and Hutchings, are members of the local Ku Klus Klan. For the Judge's expression of devotion to the cause of right and Justice and the maintenance of the supremacy of the law in Ohio our people of the entire state are under lasting obligations to him. Particularly so when it is known that Judge Summer's services were solicited after several other prominent white attorneys had refused the case. He is the son of a Lutheran minister and was born in Shelby, Ohio, where he received his early education, later attending Wittenburg College from which he was graduated in the class of 1879. He was admitted to the bar in 1881. Shortly after this, he began what has been a long and honorable service as a public servant, serving as city solicitor of Springfield for three terms. In recalling his services as city solicitor, Judge Summers relates the incident in which he defended the board of education in 1886 in a case in which some of our citizens of that time had sued to enjoin the board from building any more schools for our children. The board lost the case, in the court of common pleas, where upon they appealed to the court of appeals where it was repealing when the Ely-Ranett bill, repealing the remnants of "The Black Laws of Ohio" was passed in February, 1887. His services as a jurist includes ten years as judge of the second circuit court, from whence he was elected in 1900 a Justice of the State Supreme Court serving until Jan. 1, 1910, having been defeated for re-election in the Democratic landslide of 1908 in which President Taft was defeated for re-election. Even then he is credited with having run 10,000 votes ahead of the ticket. The picture from which our cut was made shows Judge Summers in the robe of a Justice. After his retirement from the supreme bench, he returned to the practice of law in his home town, organizing the law firm of Summers & Board: His residence is on F. High St., which still continues to be the habitat of the first families of Springfield, where he resides with his wife, two sons and a daughter. Final Act in the "Him-Crow" School Flight The entry of a perpetual injunction was made Feb. 9, 1923, and the board of education enjoined from opening the Fulton "jim-crow" school during the remainder of the school year. Thereafter it may be opened and maintained as a non-supervised school or a school for children of school age residing in the Fulton school district without an distinction of race or color. Any the defendant (school board)) is commonly enjoined from transferring or assigning any children residing in the Fulton district to any other district on the basis of race or color (or permitting the same to be done by any of its agents or employers) in any grade that is maintained in the Fulton School district and from permitting any such child or children on that basis, to attend a school operating under the local public school system in any other district. Provision is made for opening the Fulton school prior to the next school year. If all children in the district without regard to race or color are returned to that school it is further provided; that if the school remains closed during the remainder of the year, that children in that district be allowed to attend school in other districts if they can be accommodated. This decision is also invaluable as a legal precedent.

SATURDAY, MARCH 3. 1923 It is now perfectly clear that the Ku Klux of Springfield, Ohio, were the "backbone" of the recent vain effort to establish separate ("jim-crow") schools in that city. Also, that similar efforts in several other cities in the North are one of the many baneful activities of that lawless organization. Our people everywhere must be watchful and well organized so as to be able to promptly and progressively wherever the miserable "snake" shows its "head." Post-office employees headed by the Letter Carriers' band, Bandmaster Nelson in charge, tendered retiring Acting Postmaster Grant Miller and Postmaster Taylor a serenade, Tuesday noon, that proved most satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. Miller in a short speech spoke highly of the employees and said he had been most agreeably impressed by their faithfulness, honesty and excellent service. If there are men in the government service anywhere who are entitled to praise, they too seldom get, they are post-office employees, every one of whom earn more money each year doing real owrk than they get, and this is no secret. WILL NOT BE EXECUTED The five Arkansas Afro-American farmers, condemned to death by Arkansas courts, in connection with the riots of 1919, whose cases have been fought through five courts, including the Arkansas Supreme Court, will not be executed, according to a U. S. Supreme Court decision rendered Feb. 19, setting aside their conviction. The decision takes the cases of the condemned men out of the jurisdiction of the State of Arkansas and requires the U. S. District Court to examine into the attempt to railroad them to death. Atty. Sclipo A. Jones of Little Rock, their attorney, was assisted by the eminent jurist, Moorfield Story, Esq., of Boston. IS GEN, WOOD GUILTY? Our esteemed confere, Editor Geo. W. Harris of the N. Y. News, has come out for Gen. Leonard Wood as the Republican candidate for the presidency, next year in the fall. During the last Presidential campaign, a statement was issued by those who pretended to know, charging Gen. Wood, when in command of a department of the U. S. Army and located in N. Y. State, with having ordered the dismissal of a soldier (white) in his department, because he had married an Afro-American girl. The statement also informed the public that that is a matter of army record. How about it. Editor Harris? If General Wood is the sort of man that statement, if true, indicates, we fail to see how our contemporary, The N. Y. News, can endorse him as a candidate for anything. How about it, Bro. Harris? A "STARLIGHT-FEEMING" ECHO. A mattress proved a poor hiding place for $1,400, the life savings of Mrs. Kibby McLeod. She told police that when she went to the mattress, early Saturday, Feb. 24, '23, to get some money to pay a bill all her accumulations had been stolen. She had maintained a heardressing establishment at 3866 Central Ave. with living-rooms in the rear, and believes that someone took the money while she was dressing a customer's hair. "The Lord works in a mysterious way," oft-times. Mrs. McLeod was one of the most active workers in the Starlight-Fleming "organization" of political workers in the fall of 1921. You will remember that some of the women in that aggregation were loud in their statement that the editor of The Gazette was "painting the ward 11 word-picture" (of the bad conditions existing there) blacker than it really was. Since, so very much has happened to verify ALL AND MORE than we said anent the matter that many people have quite forgotten the fact we make plain for the 'stealth time in this leader. Strange, but have you noticed how many of the women associates in that campaign of Mrs. McLeod have suffered in one way or another as a result of these conditions which still exist in that ward in an entirely too great a degree? We are not rejoicing over the misfortune of any one but simply calling attention to a fact. LAND COLONY PLAN EXPOSED! State Farm Development Director Asks Passage of Certification Lansing, Mich.—As an argument in favor of the passage of the land certification bill to be presented to the legislature soon Ezra Levin, director of agricultural development of the state department of agriculture. Saturday made public a report on his investigation of the North American Homestead syndicate with headquarters in Chicago. The syndicate, according to the report and copies of its advertising, proposed to establish a Negro colony four miles north of Manton. The literature offered membership in the syndicate at $10—$1 down and $1 a week. After 1,000 members had paid in full it promised semi-annual dividends. The syndicate, according to its literature, has Rev. Austin Moore as its president, William Rankin as treasurer and Rev. Roscoe Walker secretary. In his report Mr. Levin asserts that investigation has revealed that some of the pine plains which this syndicate proposed for settlement could only starvation for any one attempting to form the He deplored the momentum "land shark movements" have acquired and asserts that land certification will eliminate the organization that sells land in small parcels to the gullible on the basis of "pretty pictures and exaggerated advertising."

Next week, the Globe goes back to its regular policy, which is, a feature photoplay and the usual five acts of vaudeville at the regular admission prices, which are: Balcony, 25 cents, orchestra, 30 cents, and boxes 40 cents, which will also be two shows, each evening, the first starting at 6:45 and the second at 9:00 P. M. OBITUARY Washington, D. C.—The remains of Mrs. Dr. Howard, for years one of our leading residents and a teacher of exceptional ability, were buried here, last week Tuesday. She had been ill for a long time. Mrs. Howard was the widow of Prof. Cook. years ago superintendent of our local public schools, when she married Dr. Howard, many years ago, and was always highly esteemed. A host of friends and acquaintances, throughout the country, mourn her demise. Mrs. Howard was the mother of Mr. John Cook of this city and Will Marion Cook of N. Y. City, and a sister, Jasmine Jackson, of N. Y. City, and Mrs. Lucinda ("Mickie") Cook, a member of the faculty of the State N. and I. Department of Wilberforce, O. University; all residents of Cleveland, at different times, many years ago. They have the earnest sympathy of friends here, in Ohio and Michigan, and many other parts of the North and the South. SHOT HIS WAY TO LIBERTY Birmingham. Ala.—Edward H. Daniels shot his way to liberty after being carried some distance from this city by a band of four masked K. K. K. kidnappers, a few days ago. According to the police Daniels said that he fired upon his captors shortly before a man (white) was brought to the local hospital with a bullet wound in his head, who told hospital authorities that he "accidentally shot himself." Daniels also said that he was blinded and hustled into an automobile. While traveling at high speed the machine struck a bad road. The fostling gave him an opportunity to wrest a pistol from one of his abductors, leap from the car and begin firing at the four men. He said the other three returned the fire, and Daniels said he was confident he hit one of the brunet Daniels stated that he knew no reason why he should have been kidnapped. The authorities refused to reveal the name of the white victim. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1923 A DOINGS OF THE RACE Big Bethel A. M. E, church, Atlanta. Ga., our second largest, finished about three months ago at a cost of about $250,000 and insured for about one-half that amount, was destroyed by fire recently. Oil has been found on the 510-acre tract of Green Springfield of Corsicana, Tex. He sold one-half of his royalty interests for $125,000. For the other half he has been offered $800,000, but refused it. His tract is in the heart of a big light crude oil field. The southern Democratic filibuster in the U. S. Senate has apparently killed the "Mammy" statute bill, the Frelinghuysen resolution for a federal commission to inquire into mining, and an item in the District of Columbia appropriation bill for the construction of a "fim crow" bathing beach on government land at Rosslyn, Va. A Trenton, N. J., court fined Charles White, a "cracker." $50 and costs for an assault on Samuel Henson. He found out that he was not "down home," this time. The U. S. Supreme Court has suspended the death sentences of the Afro-American victims of that Elaine, AR, riot of 1919, and ordered new trials in the U. S. District Court. They were "convicted" in state courts. Horatio P. Howard of N. Y. City, who died, Feb. 20, left $5,000 to Hampton Institute and made Tuskegee Institute the residuary legatee of his estate, the schools to establish scholarships to be known as the "Captain Paul Cuffee" scholarships, in memory of the decedent's navigator. In 1913, Mr. Howard erected a monument at Westport, Mass., honoring his ancestor. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right Not a sacrifice, even though you do down They count not the cost, who fight the good fight. And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. 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 sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. "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 skin 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 IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND, FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, dewns itself and the world then will say, Negroes are not worthy of each right; they are by nature without self-protection; have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have 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 (Massa.) Guardian. CHINESE 'PHONE GIRL CHINESE 'PHONE GIRL HAS STRENUOUS TASK She Must Remember Thousands of Names and Many Dialects. There is a telephone exchange in Chinatown, San Francisco, that is unlike any other in the world. In the first place, it is housed in a bit of richly carved and highly colored architecture that "looks like a picture press far," or like a bit of old Pekin set down in a modern city. When the visitor enters he is received by a a man in rich Chinese garb, but an up to date business man, and quite American in everything but his race and costume. He is an expert electrician and he has charge of the exchange which serves all the Chinese customers in the city and its suburbs. There are about a thousand telephones in the Chinese quarter, and calls up to 8,000 in number are handled every day by the dainy little oriental girls who sit at their work clad in the costumes of their own people. These girls have, in addition to a perfect knowledge of English, a command of the different Chinese dialects that are spoken in the quarter. More wonderful than that, however, is the fact that these "centrals" must remember the name and number of all subscribers, since the Oriental does not call by number. DAN'S "SALETY" DEVICE Lets Auto Hit Him, but Fender Fails to "Make Good." Just to prove to an interested public that he had a new automobile fender which would eliminate all accidents, James Locorriero of Hoboken, N. J., gave a partial demonstration in a public street of that city. He had assembled a party of guests, photographers and moving picture men, and uninvited persons lined the sidewalks. Locorriero stood in the middle of the street. At a signal an automobile, going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, bore down on him. The next moment he was under the car, and the crowd, thinking he had been killed, became panic and tricked. Patrolman Maren Fitted Locorriero into an automobile and took him to Roosevelt Hospital. There Dr. Sanford dressed his wounds and permitted him to go home. He said the accident was caused because the fender did not hit him squerely and that he will give another demonstration next week. PULL UP FENCES TO MAKE DYES Kansas Farmers Sell Roots of Osage Orange Hedge Trees. With the discovery that osage orange hedge tree roots can be utilized in the manufacture of a substitute for dyes of German make, farmers near Hutchison, Kan., are grubbing out their hedge fences and disposing of the roots to buyers of Eastern manufacturing concerns. HOTEL CELLIBOY INVENTS THREE-IN-ONE FLYER Cets Patent on Machine That Is Airship, Hydroplane and Land Billie McKenzie, a bell-boy at the Waldorf Hotel in Seattle, Wash., has invented an airship, not an ordinary airship but a submarine out, designed to run on land, water or in the air. Floyd Bates, elevator boy, at the Waldorf has a third interest in the venture. Final patent papers have been received, and the two young men are contemplating leaving the hotel business for a higher profession. The machine has nine box planes, like apple boxes with ends knocked out. These are set above the body. Then the machine is ascending a forward elevating plane directs it upward, and the box planes all present a sharp edge towards the front. When the aviator is high enough, he turns down the elevating plane and all the box planes turn square with the body. "And then," explains Billie, "you just float." The aeroplane has runners for snow, rubber tired wheels for ordinary land travel, and a pontoon body for water navigation. A motor is attached to the wheel and the propeller is at the stern. If the plane happens to land on the ground with too rude a bump, a patent shock absorber takes up the jar. DIGGERS FIND OLD BEAVER DAM Embedded in It Are Bones of Human Arm. While digging a ditch from a well at the city pumping station in Roundup, Mont., workmen discovered an old beaver dam 17 feet below the present bed of the Musselsheel River and in the dam found embedded the bones of a human arm. It is believed the dam was built hundreds of years ago. The tusk of the mastodon was found recently by employees of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau Railway 25 feet below the surface of the earth at Forsyth, Mont. It was 18 inches long and 16 inches thru its thickest part. When brought to light, the tooth was soft, but after being exposed to air hardened and shone like ivory. ALLIGATOR CLEANS A SEWER Saurian Drags Rope Thru the Clogged Sections. A six hundred foot twelve-inch sewer in Florida recently became clogged with sand and dirt. Several sewer-cleaning contrivances were used and about $1,500 was spent, but to no avail. The pipe remained in its unsatisfactory condition. Just when every one had given up in despair a small alligator was secured, to which was fastened a rope. The animal, when lowered into the pipe, proceeded toward the next manhole, dragging the rope after him. When the alligator, had traversed one section of the sewer, the rope, in the middle of which knotted chains were attached, was pulled back and forth and the obscurity was removed. SAVE CIGAR ASHES RECOMMENDED U. S. FLICKS AWAY $00,000,000 ANNUALLY, HE SAYS. To the little Tobacco Fathers Should Be Collected Where Much Checking Is Done. The war is teaching the patterns of the cath how much tiny have been throwing away. Certainly war supplies the world with potash, and yet the supply has been cut off the rim. The supply and the ditch the limbs have been put to supply the great part of the important product. The latest discovery of a large source of potash, which has been a very long, was made by Prof. A. A. Brad of London, who shows that large land in throwing away tons of potash in a very mild form. He has made a special study of the aches derived from burning tobacco, in pipe, cigar and cigarette, and he has proved that 20 per cent of the tobacco is preserved as ashes, and that from these ashes may be extracted 20 per cent of potash and 5 to 6 per cent of anhydrous phosphorus. He found that a cigar weighing two ounces left more than one-half ounce of ash, which yielded 1 per cent of potash. Twenty cigarettes weighing a little more than one ounce yielded one-third of an ounce of ash and one-twelfth of an ounce of potash, and a pipe stuffed with tobacco gave a similar percentage of ash and potash. He claims that it would be well worth while to collect tobacco ashes, especially where much smoking is done, as in the clubs and hotels and restaurants. On one day Professor Burrell collected nearly three ounces in a hotel lobby, over three ounces in a restaurant and nearly fourteen ounces from a theater where smoking was permitted. He figured that as England smokes 45,241 tons of tobacco a year, they would get 13,573 tons of ashes and 2,715 tons of potash by saving the ashes. In the United States the consumption of tobacco is far greater. We produce more than 1,000,000,000 pounds, we import over 45,000,000 pounds from Cuba and Porto Rico, besides imported cigars costing more than $4,000,000 a year. We export over 300,000,000 pounds, and $6,000,000 worth of manufactured tobacco and cigars, but our consumption is more than 700,000,000 pounds a year. We import more than 200,000,000 pounds of ashes, from which e would secure more than 44,000,000 pounds of potash and some 10,000,000 pounds of aphthous phosphorus. The value of both of these products has increased so enormously since the war began that it is easy to see how we are flicking away something like $50,000,000, which could easily be saved by gathering the ashes from all the ash receivers and selling them to chmighs who are equipped to extract the potash and phosphorus. DOLL DOZES OFF GRADUALLY Man Invents One That Goes to Sleep While Being Rocked. "When little girls put their dolls to sleep they want them to oehave just like real babies, so I simply devised a way for the dolls to do that by going to sleep gradually while being rocked." Thus spoke William A. Trost, a traveling salesman, who has invented a doll that does practically every thing that a human baby does except breathe. Many Kinds of Wrens. The wren is a tiny little bird and a brisk one too. There are many kinds of wrens found in North America. The common house wren is the best knobn, but they all look a good deal alike, with the perky tail that stands up nearly straight. They may be called the creeping wrens, the rock wrens, the house wrens, and the marsh wrens. The brown-headed wren, or the creeper, is found in the border states next to Mexico. It lives in barren places where there is little vegetation but the cactus plants. It has a clear ringing song, however, and runs about the grass and among dry leaves and builds the largest nest known among birds in proportion to its size. The nest is composed of a large mass of grass interwoven on a branch of the cactus. Sometimes it is a foot one way and two feet the other. The nest itself is 10 or 12 inches from the opening of the mass and has a long covered passageway leading to it. The wren lines it with soft feathers. The white throated wren is a rock wren and is found in the Southwest. It lives among the piles of boulders and cliffs in the canyons of the Colorado river, for example, and has a beautiful song. The tones can be heard echoing among the rocks. Another rock wren is found all over the mountains of the West. It lives in the high places of the earth having little song but only a low cry. It is very wild. The great Carolina wren is a house wren, and the wood wren and the winter wre. are called house wren by some naturalists. The house wren is found all over the United States. It is a wide awake, saucy chap and takes lordly possession of bird houses or other snug -pots. The marsh wren is found most often on the seacoast or in marshes by river banks that are reached by the sea tides. It builds a nest of grass about the size of a coconut with a side opening. It is placed in a low bush just above reach of the tide water. This bird has no song but a cry that sounds like an insect. Its eggs are a mahogany brown color. The short billed wren is found in fresh water and inland meadows. It is very shy and has a quaint and lively song, sung with great earnestness and as if in haste. If it observes you the song becomes a harsh cry. It lives in tall rank meadow grass, where it weaves long growing stalks into a round mass. Its eggs are pure white.

Fred Boyd, age 24, Tate baseball club outfielder, died, Saturday, of pneumonia at 3740 Scovill Ave. The remains were shipped to his old home in Alabama. A wife, father and foster-mother survive him and have the sympathy of the community. What has become of that "Connors" committee that was to lead our people of this community in a fight on the Wm. Taylor & Son Co. that refused to permit Atty. Wm. R. Green, president of the dormant local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., to rely on a hat in their store, several months ago? Will it be necessary to ask the National Urban League of N. Y. City which sent Secretary Wm. R. Conners to Cleveland? Some local Negroes, with apparently little or no self and race respect, have started a "jimcrow" skating night (Friday) at COLOR-LINE Luna Park. Negro skaters are charged 50 cents, the whites 35 cents, and there are extra charges for the former. All of our local organizations, including our ministers' unions, ought to start in at once to discourage Color-line Luna Park attendance upon the part of our people. Last Sunday evening, Rev. H. M.

March 6, the Elk's band will give a concert at the church under the auspices of the Building Fund team. The Campaign Committee (135) for the Playhouse Building Campaign held a meeting, Feb. 28, at Sterling Library. Elmer J. Checks, chairman of the advisory board, presided, and gave the committee an enthusiastic send off. The campaign is being managed by the advisory board of The Playhouse, composed of Hon. Harry E. Davis, Mrs. Louise Pridegon, Mrs. Louise Davis, Miss Mary Pearson, Rev. Joel B. Hayden, Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, A. O'Niel Mitchell, B. P. Fowler, J. W. Chesnut, Lewis A. Dean, E. J. Checks, E. K. Knuth, S. Vineburg. The public is urged to give pledges or donations to anyone who cannot show a solicitor's authorization card and to require a receipt from the regulation campaign receipt book. The trustees of "The Playhouse," in E. 38th St., this city, have determined to have a new, proper and greatly needed home, and to that end will on March 1 launch a campaign to raise $250,000 to build and a quip a new plant. "The Playhouse" caters to all, without reference to class (race) or color, does a much needed work, has served its "apprenticeship" to splendid purpose under its very efficient director, R. W. Jelliffe, and his able assistants, and ought to have what it takes to be a successful team for weeks and the canvass for funds to be thorough. That is, all able are to be given an opportunity to and should contribute liberally to this great undertaking. Be generous as you can, for reasons obvious, and help to make this campaign an outstanding success. Atty. Chas. W. Chesnut informed a representative of The Gazette, last week Friday, that he had just been informed by the secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce that Hotel Statler was willing to give Dr. R. R. Moton a room providing he would "take his meals in it." Mr. Chesnut is a member of the Chamber. We asked Mr. Chesnut why Dr. Moton was not taken to the Hollden Hotel where he would get proper treatment, and understood that this was done. When Atty. Chester K, Gillespie called the Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday just before noon, and asked the secretary who answered if he could hear Dr. Moton speak, the question was asked him as to whether he was "colored or white." Chester asked the secretary what difference that made and is still awaiting a reply. Well, well, WELL! Chief of Police Jacob Graul received the report, Sunday, of detective Lieut. Emmott Potts who investigated the meeting of Ku Klux Klan in a building, N. W. cor. Superior Ave. and W. 3rd St., Saturday evening. The report contained the names of some of those who attained the meeting, and to attend to interfere with meetings of the Klan as long as there is no violation of the law," Chief Graul said. "However, when we hear of meetings of the Klan we will detail men there to see that there is no violation of the law." The Klux claim several policemen are members. The New York police nipped something in the bud. Sunday, when they seized thirty boxes of machine gun magazines and 275 cases of arms and cartridges there were cartridges of .303 rifle caliber and 5,000 steel jacketed 45 caliber revolver cartridges. It is said they belonged to the Klux. When our good friend, the Rev. O. W, Childers, former pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, this city was appointed pastor of Eaker St. church, Dayton, the situation there was so very bad from almost every viewpoint that other ministers in the conference gave him only one year to stay. He has been there now more than three, raised $12,000 for a building fund and purchased one of the best locations in the state for the new church. He plans to start a $60,000 structure this spring. It will be one of the most complete church-buildings in the connection. the membership of Eaker St. church has increased from 300 to 700 and the supremacy of the great A. M. E. Church is again established in Dayton. Of course, it has taken patience and hard work, but Rev. Childers, a magazine alumnus, has the formed in abundance and his mid-name is "Johnson." When he has splendid ability and is really a Christian minister. New Jersey's Afro-American legislator, the Hon. Oliver Randolph, has introduced an anti-Ku Klux resolution and bill. What is the matter with Ohio's only Afro-American representative? Is he afraid to do likewise, to even try to do something? The Hon. Harry E. Davis of this city is serving his second term of two years in the Ohio Assembly and to date has done absolutely nothing of material benefit to his people. Come Harry, wake up! Do not longer emulate the baneful example of one Councilman Tom Fleming who has sat silent in the City Council of Cleveland for about six years and has absolutely nothing to his credit of material benefit to his Afro-American constituency, the Ku Klux Klan is "again" aliens, Catholics, Jews and Afro-Americans. It is generally understood that Davis is not only a member of the race but also a member of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he ought to have a double incentive to get active against the lawless organization that is so much "in the limelight" here in Ohio as elsewhere, these days. / In the $40,000 damage suit of J. H. Roberts, against the St. Louis-San Francisco Ry. Co., Judge Robert W. Hall, in the Circuit Court at St. Louis, Mo., recently ruled that the railroad company had absolutely no defense under the "jim-crow" laws of the South as applied to interstate passengers. Roberts was forced into a "jim-crow" car by railroad officials, and Oklahoma from Missouri, en route to McAllister, Okla., and his suit was the result. Judge Hall's decision has been our contention for years—we did not believe that any state could enact a law that would take from our people any of their rights as inter-state passengers. Several years ago, The Gazette urged Prof. "Alphabetical" DuBois, of the N. A. C. P., to use some of that organization to enact a law that would take from the U. S. Supreme Court and get a ruling from it, believing then as we do now that such action was of far more importance to our people than frittering away valuable time and much money chasing "Federal antilynching law" shadows.

"Shake Your Feet," a new Afro-American musical comedy revue, which opened a week's engagement, Monday, at the Globe theater, is a show weil named. Foot work is the dominant factor displayed by this aggregation of 40 players who contribute to an hour and a half of exceptionally diverting amusement. There are singers, comedians and manipulators of jazz instruments in great abundance but it is to the steppers of the troupe that the prize laurels go. All the old familiar Negro dances are brought out as well as several newer eccentric steps that earn well merited applause. "Shake Your Feet" is in two acts and nine scenes and is given in the manner of the usual vaudeville and burlesque revue. E. E. Pugh is the star comedian and others among the featured members of the cast are Will Mastin, Virgile Richards, Joe Carmouche and Cleo Mitchell. The Norfolk Jazz Quartette and the Dixieland Jazz Kings easily carry away the honors. The quartette sings two numbers with musical accompaniment and two without, while the jazz band, appearing in the last scene, set in a card contributes four tuneful pieces that provide a rousing shouting finale. Harris and Holly, who were seen here recently in "Plantation Days," offer their comedy sketch, "Push 'Em and Pull 'Em," which proves to be the best individual comedy effort of the production. "Shake Your Fect" is really one of the greatest shows on the road and The Globe's many patrons are having a real treat, this week. Do not fall to see it and tell your friends and acquaintances to do so also. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education — in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must earn to work out a business line. But 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. Dr. R. R. Moton.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may conquer the world; his 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 "—Charles Sumner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest.

MARKET OWNERS FIND NEW WAY TO GET THEIR GOODS Rays Make Water Transparent at Night and Men Drag Out "Cats" Rapidly. James Colten and James Reece conduct a fish market in Webb City, Mo. They had done a good business for some time, purchasing their stock from various fisherman. But by the time they had paid these men 12 cents a pound gross for their fish and then sold them at 20 cents net, paid high rent and other expenses, they failed to realize a reasonable profit. They owned an auto, so they determined by its use to cut down expenses and at the same time handle goods they knew were fresh. The nearest large stream where catfish—for which they had the best market—were caught was fifteen miles away. Colter and Reece purchased a small but powerful searchlight, whirl would throw a stream of light into the water at night for a depth of several feet. Daylight was not as good for their plan as was darkness, because of being unable to see so far into the water in the daytime and because the fish were usually under logs or overhanging rocks. But at night the catfish is always in "the open." The men built a flat-bottom boat with roof and sides for protection against cold winds, and set up a wood-burning stove. Work began in earnest. The flashlight made the water perfectly transparent. In less than ten minutes Colter had seen, slipped a huge hook under, and landed a three pound "cat." That night five fish were captured, weighing three, twelve, twenty-one, forty-five and fifty-six pounds each, making a total of 140 pounds. At the price they had been paying, this number would have cost them $16.80. And they have done even better since then—their best catch being 210 pounds. Colter and Reece have found that they can make a good profit by selling their goods now at 15 instead of 20 cents a pound—something their competitors cannot do. The result is a greatly increased business. So successful has the venture proved that the market owners are planning to catch fish by the searchlight method more extensively. Decks of Sail Craft Scrubbed Morning and Night. He Declares and Night, He Declares. "Dust on the ocean—it doesn't seem possible, does it?" observed Col. Tom Marshall of Columbus, Ohio, at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D. C., recently. "Well, it not only is possible, but actually a fact. In my youth I was a sailor. In fact, I spent the better part of my life on the ocean. "On board ship the rule was that every morning a certain number of the crew were detailed to wash the decks, and in the evening during the dog watch, between 4 and 6, another crew swept and dusted the decks and the other parts of the ship. "You wouldn't think it, you land lubbers, that on each occasion there was a quantity of dust on decks and every where else. The dust was thick on occasions—so thick that it would one's hands. Where the dust comes from on the ocean I am sure I don't know. "I know it is a popular idea that there is no dust on the ocean, and I probably would not believe it had it not experienced so many years before the mast and observed with my own eyes quantities of dust on vessels." "The dust must have come from the smokestacks," it was suggested. "In my day there were no smoke stacks," returned Colonel Marshall "I never served on board a steam vessel, but only on sailing craft. There was no chance for dust from the smokestack there." Edgar H.

A dog which seems to have a parrot's skill in memorizing and imitating words was in New York the other day. Its mistress, Mme. A. E. Richare of Columbus, Ohio, brought it to interview a theater manager for a position in vaudeville. "What do I hand you when you are mad?" Mme Richare asked, beginning the conversation to show the manager the dog's ability as a conversationalist. "Lem-on," the dog replied. "Whom do you love?" she next asked. "Love my mam-ma," came the anwer with amazing distinctness. "What do you want for dinner?" "Lamb!" the dog answered loudly. "And what else?" The dog answered many other questions, but these were its most distinct utterances. Its "mam-ma," "lamb" and "lem-on" were enunciated as clearly as tho it were a person answering, and the other words were sufficiently clear to be understood readily. The dog's name is Zydis, an English bull terrier. It is 3 years old. Mme. Richare has been training it since it was one month old. KEEPSHENS FROM FLYING AWAY Device Prevents Them From Setting When Broody Also. Matias G. Mueller of Colome, S. D., has just obtained a patent on a device to prevent hens from setting when broody. The device is a small sheet metal boot which is attached to the leg of the chicken to limit or restrict the bending movement of the leg. Free use of the legs in walking and scratching is allowed. The device also permits fowls to roost, but prevents them from flying over fences by making a crouching position impossible. Mr. Mueller has practically completed an electrical machine which he calls the "Tel-Visistraph," that will enable any user of a telephone, he says, to see the person he is talking to on a screen. With this device, according to the inventor, one can photograph the person to whom he is talking, the person be more than 100 miles away. Professor Invents an Improved Auditory Device. The faintest sound becomes so pronounced by the aid of an improvement on the audien amplifier, perfected by R. B. Abbott, instructor of physics at the University of California, that the fall of a feather makes a noise like the thud of a wrestler striking the mat. With the instrument attached to an ordinary photograph it will be possible to make a record of the sound of the beating of the human heart. Wealth from the Sea. Deep-sea fishing off the coast of Vancouver Island has been a thriving industry for many years. Most of the individuals and firms engaged in the business have devoted their efforts to catching halibut and other food fishes, although at least one big whaling company has paid huge dividends out of the profits in catching whales. From Vice Consul Galpin, at Vancouver, B. C., the Department of Commerce and Labor learns that a new corporation will engage on an extensive scale in the catching of sharks and other fish that are worthless for food purposes. The shark-fishing branch of the industry is something new on the Pacific coast. It is proposed to use sharks for oil and fertilizer. The new firm will build cold-storage plants at a number of points on the west coast of Vancouver Island and Queen Charlotte Islands and will handle the product of the fisheries in the most approved modern style. The halibut fisheries of the North Pacific have been mostly in the hands of American fisheries companies operating out of Seattle and Vancouver; the new concern is to be exclusively a Canadian enterprise. The success that has been attained by these companies again calls attention to a neglected field which might with profit be occupied by the Columbia River fishing concerns. The best halibut banks in the North Pacific are located north of the Columbia river. But a few miles off the bar there are vast schools of cod, grouper, flounder, sole and other excellent food fishes, with halibut obtainable in fairly good supply. For these fish there is a demand that is steadily increasing with the higher prices of meats. The royal chinko salmon is no longer so plentiful that it can be regarded as a cheap food, but the supply of deep-sea fish is 'nexhaustic' the Establishment of a station at Astoric of some other point near the mouth of the river, with a steamer equipped with modern apparatus might prove the starting point for a great industry right at our door.

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1928 WAR AND RAINFALL SCIENTIFIC STUDY MYSTERY CLINGS TO MUCH DISC CUSSED SUBJECT Nature Simply Becomes Dramatic When Volcano Blows Its Head Off, Says Writer. The value of the weather as a topic of conversation, of course, lies in its delightful uncertainty. Everybody has his little scraps of observation and opinion about it; and no one, as yet, can claim sufficient positive knowledge about it to crush the possibilities of conjecture. Weather is a subject that has "baffled" the scientists and anything that has "baffed" scientists is likely to be a pleasan. morsel for discussion by ordinary mortals. Nevertheless, the baffed scientists have worked a good deal on the subject of the weather and one of them, Alexander McAdie, writes on that popular topic, "Has the War Affected the Weather?" In coming to the conclusion that there is nothing to show that it has, he incidentally says a number of interesting things that fill one with awesome respect for scientific thorness without dispelling the pleasing vagueness of the subject. Consider the "little drops of water," for instance, which not only make the mighty ocean, but also the basic element of a mighty volume of conversation. Scientists certainly do go into minute detail in discussing a subject like this. Water drops, for instance, are partly made up of hydrogen, a gram of which, this writer says, contains "six million million million atoms." And electrons are much smaller than the atoms. Just as things are getting too small, really, to grasp, it is comforting to learn that nuclei or centers of condensation in a drop of water are larger than electrons. The nuclei are "certain foreign bodies" and Mr. McAdie says that if ever man succeeds in making rain artificially it will be by increasing the number of nuclei. He quotes John Aitken of Edinburgh, the man who has most studied the behavior of nuclei, as saying that the number of nuclei in a puff of smoke from a lighted cigarette is 4,000,000,000,000 to the cubic centimeter. These figures tinge cigarette smoking with unwonted majesty. No doubt there are plenty of cigarette smokers who would be ready to volunteer to serve the public as rahmakers. However, when the writer suggests on how much larger scale a factory chimney furnishes material toward the building of, raindrops, the cigarette figures lose some of their majesty. "Sometimes nature conducts a rainmaking experiment in a very dramatic fashion," he also says, "as when a volcano blows its head off." But jumping to the conclusion that men's big guns can do the same thing is discouraged by the writer. The efforts of a volcano and a gun differ greatly. "For example," he says, "during one of the recent eruptions of Asama Yama, pressure disturbances were recorded on all the paragraphs in Japan; but the daily noon gun fire close to the observatory in Tokio never affects the instruments." It would be rash to say that rainmaking on a commercial scale is beyond human control, but certainly there is still lacking conclusive evidence that any man's efforts have produced it, the writer says. To the poser, "If the war is not the cause of the abnormal weather, what is it?" the weather man confesses, "We do not know." He also admits that after large experience in forecasting for the Government it has sometimes seemed to him "that it was the valor of the forecaster rather than the value of the forecast which deserved commendation." The time is coming, he predicts, when information will be extended to all atmospheric levels available, and not limited to one—that near the ground—as at present. The newer meteorology, he will, undoubtedly throw light on cloudiness and rain formation. Possibly, and the outcome may have a sordid practical value, but what is then to become of the charm of vagueness in the weather as an ever-reactive topic of conversation? Expert Gets Large Supply From His Underground Garden. The queerer the place selected for a mushroom garden the finer, it seems, is the growth of this popular table delicacy. Anyway, a Morgan town, W. Va., correspondent tells of a mushroom farm flourishing in the depths of a deserted coal mine hundreds of feet below the ground. Not far from Morgantown there is located an old coal mine, once known as a part of the Pittsburgh coal seam. Theodore F. Imbach, an assistant in the State Agricultural Experiment Station at Morgantown, obtaining a permit from the owners of the property, encamped on the first level and made chemical analysis of the rock soil. He found it rich in moisture and it conditioned exactly those needed by cubic fungi for their quickest and most hazardous growth. He therefore created a mushroom farm and found the spot was ideal for his purpose. This "mushroom mine" makes large biomass weekly to the city markets.

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault or engaging therein. (93 v 163 11.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers, of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the activity, the facility or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. April 25, 1919. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send your order, a coverate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and furies, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant.
