NEVAL SCORES AGAIN Some Mory Good Results Secured By a Member of the Race Styled "Too Radical"—Ordinal Gibbons, the Great Churchman Friend of the Race. Washington, D. C.—As a result of the protest which Naval H. Thomas filed with the city postmaster, Mr. William Mooney, ten Afro-American clerks have been employed in the temporary roll at the city postoffice. The postofficees of the country are engaged in determining the cost of the different classes of mail matter, necessitating the employment of temporary clerks. Some fifty were employed in our city postoffice, and not one a member of the race. Mr. Thomas appealed to Mr. Mooney and received a reply stating that no color-discrimination would be allowed at the office, and that he would look into the matter. On Oct. 5 twenty more clerks were employed, and out of the twenty, ten were Afro-Americans. Often the appointment clerks of the government practice discrimination without the knowledge or approval of their superior. An appeal to the superior officials, will sometimes correct the evil, as it has in this case. Cardinal Gibson's Influence Kills It. The "Cardinal·Gibbons Institute," the name selected by the board of trustees for this new Afro-American school being erected in Maryland, was chosen for two reasons. First, the late Cardinal provided the money to purchase the two hundred-acre site, and again, this great churchman had a very great interest in our race and whatever concerned it, which he showed by his works all through his life. As stated by Arbishop Curley of Baltimore, his successor: "James Cardinal·Gibbons, as a true priest of God, was concerned with men's souls, and not with the color of their skin." His interest in our welfare was the reason for a remarkable tribute to him paid upon his death by Rev. Geo. T. Bragg, a Baptist minister of Baltimore. He said on that occasion: "The black man has lost an ever-develoed an unshaken fandel. His was a difficult situation, but he always rung true. At a time when 'jin crow' threatened us, and our people were anxious and distressed, without the least hesitancy the Cardinal wrote me as follows: "In reply to your letter of yesterday, I hasten to say that the introduction of the jim crow bill into the Maryland legislature is very distressing to me. Such a measure must of necessity engender very bitter feelings in the colored people against the whites. Peace and harmony can never exist where there is unjust discrimination, and what the members of every community must constantly strive for is peace. Especially now in the hour of our affliction, while calamity and disaster are frowning upon our city, mutual helpfulness should be the common endeavor, and no action should be lightly taken, which should precipitate enmities, strife and acrimonious feelings. The duty of every man is to Lighten the burdens that fall heavily on his neighbor, to the full extent of his power. It is equally the duty of every member of a community to avoid any action which is calculated to make hard and bitter the lot of a less fortunate race. Furthermore it would be most injudicious to make the whole race suffer for the delinquencies of a few individuals, to visit upon thousands, who are innocent that punishment which should be mated out to only the guilty." The board of trustees selected the first sentence in the second paragraph of this notable letter of the cardinal's to print with the cardinal's picture on its official stationery and catalogues: "The duty of every man is to lighten the burdens that fall heavy tent of his power." SOUTHERN "SOCIAL EQUALITY" Graclano "Lived With" Marie Armstead The He He had a Wife and Seven Children—Pursued Her to a Chicago Court. Chicago, Ill.—This city's latest big sensation was settled in Judge David's court room, the first of last week, when he freed Marie Armistead, age 21, who had been forced to be a slave and mistress of Joseph Graciano of Hammond, La., a planner and president of that state's Strawberry Growers' association. Graciano has a wife and seven children, too. For four years he held the girl without pay altho she did succeed once, after several efforts, in running away to New Orleans but Graciano went there and brought her back just as he tried in vain to do here, last week. Her arrest here, on arrival, was secured on the charge of having stolen a diamond ring alleged to be worth $275 which he had given her, two years ago, but which an official here said was only glass. Gov Jno. Parker of Louisiana, too, wired here to the police to arrest the girl. When Graciano's wife went to the hospital for an operation he installed Marie in his home as wife and to take care of his children. At one time, when she was three times, thru the breast, back and arm, and the scars she showed the court here, last week. For the first two years, Graciano' kept her in a hammond he established for her night for a year. When she went to New Orleans, he sent his wife there to beg her to return. Mrs. Graciano said her husband could not "sleep or eat and was going crazy." The ku klux klan of the town warned her to leave, but made no effort to punish Graciano whom they termed a "dago." Another thing that worried the Hammond population (white) was the fact that Marie drove Graciano's Studebaker auto about town. They threatened to kill her if she did not stop it. He had a Hammond lawyer, by the name of McKee; here trying to secure Marie's return and also employed the local attorneys, Brown & Marshall. When Gracino first met Marie he sent a Negro, John Usher, for her, she says. In releasing Marie, Judge David flaged Graciano, McKee and others, and marveled at Gov Parker's alleged part in the dirty affair, a common thing here in the South. Marie Chicago attorney has started a $30,000 damage suit against Graciano who says he is worth only $12,000. KNIGHTED BY LIBERIA! Bishop W. Sampson Brooks' Years of Effort Fittingly Recognized—Tears Flow Freely—President King's Address. MONROVIA, Liberia, Africa.—In the presence of a throng that jammed its spacious auditorium almost to suffocation and which overflowed the campus, the Monrovia College and Industrial Training School was dedicated here in August. Ex-President Arthur-Barclay, Liberia's grand old man, presided. He introduced President C. B. D. King, who delivered a remarkable dedicatory address. The president's speech was frequently interrupted by applause. The elimax came, however, when at the conclusion of his remarks he turned to Bishop W. S.pson Brooks, of Baltimore, Md., U. S. A., who had built the institution with funds raised in America and centered upon him the high honor of Commander grade, Order of the Star of Africa, a most coveted distinction conferrable by the Liberian government. The Bishop Overcome. Bishop Brooks was so overcome with emotion that he could make no immediate reply, great tears taking the place of words, and this visibly affected the big audience which had come to the exercises. The insignia of the order is a heavy gold jewel watch, suitably inscribed and handsomely encased. In awarding the diploma, which is an accompaniment to the insignia the president said: "This diploma is expressive of the very-high consideration and appreciation, which the people of Liberia through their chief executive attach to the energies you have unreservedly spent in this country in the furtherance of education, one of the most essential elements of human civilization and progress. While the Monrovia College stands as a monument of your labors, this diploma goes to express the endorsement and approval of those for whose benefit such a structure has been erected, and at the same time to show that you have attained to this degree of distinction by the course of merit."

Finally, the owners of the cocoanuts flled suit against the Black Star Line for damages. At the end of this trip, Captain Cockburn was discharged by Mr. Garvey and a white man (Captain Discon) was sent to take command of the ship. O. M. Thompson, a graduate in commercial law, was then employed as general manager. The Yarmouth was again chartered to load fertilizer for Cuba. I did not know what was paid for this charter but the freight rate at that time was $22 a ton from New York to Havana, for that kind of a CAPT. HUGH MULZAC. cargo. We were loaded with 900 tons and sailed. After five days of pleasant weather, we arrived in Cuba and landed our cargo in five days. We were then ordered to Port au Prince, Haiti. On our arrival, we found no cargo and were running out of coal and provisions, neither of which could be had there at that time. Therefore, after three days, and with our few passengers from New York to Jamaica on board, I advised the captain to leave immediately. Soeing the danger of being stranded in Haiti, he cleared at once for Jamaica. On our arrival, we had to have our boilers repaired again. At this time, a Japanese ship called the Kayo Maro was ashore on the Saranna Banks, 300 miles south of Jamaica, and wanted a ship to salvage part of her cargo. Mr. Wilson, a building contractor, was agent for the Black Star Line in Jamaica and, like the officers of the Line in New York, knew nothing of the shipping business. He too, was distinclined to be advised. This was a salvage cargo, freight valued from three five times as much as an ordinary cargo. And yet Mr. Wilson drew up a contract to take the cargo at the same rate per ton and per cubic measurements as an ordinary cargo. It consisted of cotton, iron, glass, wire, etc., and after it was put into the ship's hole Mr. Wilson's charge was only about $12,000 when it should have been at least $40,000. The Kaya Maro had been lying on the rocks for two weeks trying to get some ship to relieve her of part of her cargo so that the wrecking tugs would be able to pull her off, but no ship would take the risk. A conference would take the captain and myself. I advised Mr. Wilson to charter the ship's space (her hole) for $45,000, which the owners of the cargo would have been glad to pay, but Mr. Wilson would have his own and the Black Star Line lost the difference between twelve and $45,000. The captain (white) was not interested, as this was a Negro's concern and he was only there for what he could get out of it in the way of salary. However, we sailed for the Saranna Banks with fifty-two passengers on board. We succeeded in getting alongside the Japanese ship, loaded in two days, with the assistance of the Japanese crew, and then proceeded to New York. On our way, we had bolter troubles again and our coal was giving out. Therefore, we had to put in at Charleston, S. C., to coal and provision again. Then concluded our trip to New York. On our arrival, I submitted a plan of the cargo to O. M. Thompson, general manager. This plan also contained its weight and cubic measurements. I drew it the two days and nights we were loading. I did not get ten minutes rest during that time so great was my anxiety to secure the Black Star Line proper pay for carrying the freight on board the ship. We had a super-cargo and a passer on board the ship (Mr. Garvey's relatives). However, when the cargo was to be checked off in New York, The Black (Continued on Page 2) --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter.

SATURDAY, OCT. 13, 1923 President Coolidge declares that ignorance is despotism's chief support. Absolutely! Didn't we see it proved in 1913-20 when dictatorship was supported by the Democrats? --- President Coolidge's reply to the National Equal Rights League delegation, that called on him, last week, Monday, at the White House in Washington, D. C., was very brief and not very encouraging. Maybe he intends to "show us" (favorably) by action. We sincerely hope so. --- Just as the national administration is figuring out that it can reduce taxes again, the governor of Alabama proposes the imposition of two new state taxes on his people. And the solidly Democratic state of disfranchisement (Alabama) will go right on voting against the Republican party—the only party that reduces taxes. --- Some weeks ago a Washington, D.C., news agency sent out the report that word had gone from President Coolidge to all bureaus and departments of the government that there "must not be any discrimination in the treatment of employees or citizens on account of color" during his administration. We regret to say that the "word." if ever sent out, got lost somewhere between the President's office and the bureaus, for the colorlines remain. We appoint Col. Phil Brown a committee of one to locate as soon as possible and send forward to the bureaus that all-important "word." MUST VOTE AT COMMAND. The demand made by the Democratic organization in Tennessee upon Senator Shields was that he support the adoption of the League of Nations and the peace treaty "as written and without amendments or reservations." Because Shields refused, former President Thomas Woodrow Wilson denounced him as "the least trustworthy" of all his supposed friends. On all other subjects, Shields voted as Wilson desired. Thus we find once more the Wilsonian idea of what a senator is for. He must vote in each and every instance as the President commands, without the dotting of an "i" or the crossing of a "t." But Wilsonism was discredited by a 7,000,000 plurality. LYNCH-RIDDEN GEORGIA. Georgia newspaper are rejoicing over a speeding up of a court procedure in that state as a result of which a murderer (white) was brought to trial within thirty days after the commission of the crime. The Atlanta Constitution remarks that "speedy trials and the speedy administration of justice tend to a firmer sentiment in the behalf of the efficiency of the constituted court system." That paper also says that "a great deal of the mob lawlessness, inexcuseable though it is under any circumstances, is encouraged by the fact that the court system is often too slow." That is undoubtedly true in the case of offending whites of means only. The one convicted in thirty days must have been some poor "cracker." BALEFOUR BOOSTS DEMOCRATS Fortunately for Americans, a few copies of London newspapers come to this country. Otherwise we would not be informed of one important statement made by Sir Arthur Balfour after his return from a visit to this country.

He predicted, however, that after the next election there will be a severe cut in our import tariff rates and that in about eighteen months from the present time a period of depression will begin and continue for three or four years. He puts the beginning of the period of depression at about the same time as the beginning of the administration which he thinks will reduce the tariff. We owe Sir Arthur a vote of thanks for warning us of the probable effects of a reduction of the tariff. Doings Of The Race Our A. &. T. College at Greensboro, N. B., was given $600,000, recently, by that state's Assembly. It reopened, last moth, with the largest enrollment in its history. After complaining to court that Ben Arnold Hill's cattle continually ate up his crop, Asberry Jackson, an Afro-American, was shot to death at Macon, Ga., by Hill, recently. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide." Why do our people leave the South? Madame Pauline Dempsey, no less famous as an actress and a singer than as a political and social worker, died from injuries received while rehearsing a movie play, in which Francis X. Bushman is star, at the University Film, Studios, New York City. Commemorating the heroism of Lieut. Henry H. Boger, a tablet has been placed in the stadium of the University of Illinois, with fitting ceremonies. Boger was an alumnus of that institution, a teacher at Tuskegee, and was killed in France on the day the Armistice was signed. Immediately following the resignation, last week, of the Haitien cabinet, a strict censorship was clamped down on the island republic by the U. S. marine super-government, which still remains in the country. H. T. Remmel, Republican national committeeman of Arkansas, called on President Coolidge, last week, to bring to his attention the emigration movement from the South. He reported that farmers and business men of the southern states are alarmed over the labor shortage caused by the exodus and that a request is to be made for legislation by Congress to stop it.

Chicago, Ill.—On Sunday, Sept. 30, Ruege Foster's local Giants played a local all-star team (white) called the Normals, two games and won both. In the first game, long Branahan, of Cleveland, was on the mound, and to say that the lanky right-hander twirled winning ball and caught a tough comment—Branahan was marvelous; that's how he struck us.

Jack Outboxes Siki; Loses to Picknet Quebec, Que., Ca.—Jack Johnson and Battling Siki, heavyweight boxers, gave a six round exhibition at the arena before a crowd of 3,000 persons here, Oct. 2. Johnson was, of course, the more skillful angler. After the match Jack discovered his pocket had been picked, he was a good sport, as he just smiled and added, "Well, it is the first time I have ever lost an argument." Battling Siki seems to think a deal of his hair for some reason. A short time ago when a barber attuned him to fight of it, Siki was ready to fight. "Don't pinnair," he is alleged to have said, in French. Fight fans are beginning to wonder it he carries his strength in his hair as was true of Sampson. Any way, whether it is true or not, if you would like to engage the Senagalese in battle just touch his hair. Siki Not Anxious "What do you think of Kid Norfolk, and some of the other fighters you are supposed to meet?" "I don't like fight colored man; can't get big money," was Siki's reply. "What are you going to do when you stop fighting for good?" we asked. "I don't know," he answered with a smile, and then added: "Promenade, maybe," and he stuck both thumbs under his arms with the mischievous twinkle of a boy in his eyes to show us what he meant. We arose to go. He grasped our hand and we left, not under the impression that we been talking to a "wild man," who had little of the veneer of civilization, neither an orang-outang as writers in American papers have described him from time to time, but of leaving the presence of an average young Afro-American of sorbriety and industry who can be found by the hundreds in the South or in all the large cities of the country.—Baltimore Afro-American.

The show will make up the entire program of two hours, no other acts being used with the show, which will make a complete tour of the circuit. This definitely takes the show out of the list available to the managers of Afro-American houses. The Cleveland and Detroit Stars The Tate Stars wound up the season with a defeat and a victory, two teams teamed up day afternoon and the same day a week ago, while the Detroit Stars were winning the city semi-prochampionship there. The local club's affairs seem to be in a bad way again. This is to be regretted. Football Star Killed. Jack Trice, sophomore at Iowa State college and former student at E. Tech. High school here, died in Ames, Ia., Monday evening, of injuries suffered in the Iowa State-Minnesota football game, Saturday. Trice, whose family lives in Ravenna, worked his way through high school here and was a star tackle on the championship E. Tech teams of 1920 and 1921. He married a youngstown girl during his vacation, last summer, and with his wife returned to school. "It's too bad. He was a fine young man," V. D. Hawkins, assistant principal at E. Tech, said. "He handled his studies well and came through satisfactorily. He was well liked by his fellow students." Among football players in Cleveland Trice was rated as one of the best scholastic tackles. He was one of the mainstays of the E. Tech eleven. He was picked as a Cleveland all scholastic tackle by a num- ber of writers. Only 22, he weighed nearly 200 pounds, but was fast and rangy. His mother, Mrs. Trice, left her to arrive, to bring back the body of her son. "A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE" The Story of the Life of W.

Therefore, they had to accept the figures submitted to them by the owners of the cargo mouth because she was un-seaworthy and the boilers were bad.

Floyd (white), of Spartanburg, S.C., placed an advertisement in "The Old Reliable" for one Mrs. Mamie E. Staton whose uncle, Wm. A. Hughston, died there, some time ago, and left her a house and lot. Mr. Floyd is administrator of the estate. Oct. 1 and 8. Mrs. Staton called at The Gazette office, on the suggestion of one of its readers, and of course will soon come into possession of the property her niece left her. Does it pay to advertise in and read "The Old Reliable Gazette"? "Sure it does"—we hear you say. Then why not subscribe for it, and tell your friends to do likewise? ```markdown ``` The PORO AGENCY a Most Splendid Business Opportunity PORO COLLEGE offers at small cost practical training through which it is an easy matter to have a nice, paying business right in your own home.

ROCKFELLERS ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN Here are some of the pointed sentences dropped informally—at golf or automobiling or at the table—by the most remarkable man the world of business has ever produced: "The most important thing for a young man starring life is to establish a credit—a reputation, character. He must inspire the complete confidence of others. "The hardest problem all through my business career was to obtain enough capital to do all the business I wanted so do and could do, given the necessary amount of money. You must establish a credit (character) before you can hope to have people lend you money." "The first large bank loan I received—it was $2,000, a big sum in those days—was granted me only because the head of the bank made him self familiar with my mode of life, my habits, my industry and learned from my former employers that I was a young man who could be trusted. "Nowadays young men—and others—want to have too much done for them. They want to be presented with bonuses; they want all sorts of concessions. "To get on, young men should study their business thoroughly, work carefully, accurately and industriously, save their money, and then either become partners by buying a share of the business or go out and form a business of their own. "They must be self-reliant. They must not expect to have things handed them for nothing. They must make themselves strong by becoming able, braining workers, by establishing a credit and by accumulating every dollar they can save after doing their full duty to society. "The way business is conducted now, it is easy for a man to buy shares in it and thus participate in the profits. "As for opportunities, there are ten today for every one there was sixty years ago. There were then few opportunities and very scanty means of taking advantage of them. Now large opportunities constantly spring up everywhere and we have a wonderful currency and credit system for enabling people to take hold of them."—Leslie's. He Holy-Stoned It Also "Filled your income tax statement?" "Yes. I not only file it but I used a grind stone on it and then couldn't get it down to a decent looking figure." 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT. G REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING By Eisher HAW! HAW! OH, YOU COMEDY BUSINESS YOU UNAPPRESENTATIVE INDIVIDUAL WHERE DO GET THAT STUFF! People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpoe. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort is January. Do YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years the Gazette has served our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to our advertiser. EDITOR. RACE PREJUDICE! "I AM convinced myself that there is nothing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all." "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. ```markdown ``` 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. 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. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives by duty, the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS! Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after ever 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 die rather than submit. The Irish that says it's of no use to resist dewns itself and the world that will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- bitionists, 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 des- serve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Dr. LeROYN. BUNDY, Dentist, Guaranteed and Efficient Work! Extraction with Gas Administered.

Moral conditions in wards 11 and 12 are ROTTEN and should receive some attention from Councilmen Fleming and Finkle, and our minsters and churches in that district.

We urge our readers to patronize him, too. He is thorly efficient, courteous and obliging. Recently, Mayor J. F. F. Floyd (white), of Spartansburg, S. C., placed an advertisement in "The Old Reliable" for one Mrs. Mamie E. Staten whose uncle, Wm. A. Hughston, died there, some time ago, and left office. Mrs. Staten, the old Administrator of the estate, Monday, Mrs. Staten called at The Gazzette office, on the suggestion of one of its readers, and of course will soon come into possession of the property her uncle left her. Does it pay to advertise in and read the Old Receiver's notice? Why does it hear you say. Then why not subscribe for it, and tell your friends to do likewise? Congressman Dyer is quoted as saying that the "states rights opposition" to his proposed federal antilynching bill "is silly." We cannot believe that Mr. Dyer would make such a statement because the "states rights opposition" to any federal antilynching bill is based on decision of the U. S. Supreme Court the court of the last resort and the highest legal tribunal in this country. A constitutional basis for his bill as a law cannot be built by calling attention to the large number of lynchings in this country since the days of reconstruction and Congressman Dyer ought to and doubtless does know how to deal with about all he tries to do in the speeches he has been making throughout the country (at so much per speech) in recent months. Beginning at high mass, Sunday, Oct. 21, an eight-day mission will be conducted at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church. The mission will be in charge of the Vincentian fathers of Germantown, Pa. Not only will the mission be a person of spiritual refreshment to members of the faith but a time and opportunity of inquiry and instruction to non-catholics concerning all matters of the Catholic church. A cordial invitation is therefore extended to every man and woman of the race and the mission services, beginning, Sunday, Oct. 21, at 10 A.M. and continuing, every evening at 7:30 P. M. A mass meeting to hear reports of committees, in connection with the death of Mrs. Rosalie Wilson, will be held, Sunday afternoon, Oct. 21, at St. Paul's Baptist church, 2566 E. 38th St., Rev. E. J. Pillow, pastor. It will be recalled that Mrs. Wilson was shot to death by a policeman while in an auto in Scovill Ave., some months ago, while the officer was trying to arrest her husband who had stolen the machine. Attys, W. H. Randolph, Wm. R. Commune, William, polished in mass meetings held in Rev. Pillow's and C. C. Aller's churches, some months ago, will make their reports. Tom Fleming promised councilmanic action in the shape of investigation of the officer's apparently inexcusable killing of the young woman, but the promise has not been kept (as usual). This too, will be investigated at the meeting. Dr. E. A. Bailey, G. L. Cheatham, president of the American life insurance company, others, speakers at the meeting. Everybody is urged to attend. The church SHOULD be packed. AGENTS WANTED—Write for our Money Making Plan and Circulars TODAY. Mrs. Wallace Bolden, E. 39th St. had as guests, last week, Mr. and Mrs. DeVoe Bassett of Oil City, Pa. Mr. Bassett is a mall-carrier and Mrs. Bassett was former Miss Gertie Goins of Massillon, well and most favorably known in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Thomas, E. 59th St. and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lucas, E. 97th St., were among those who entertained Mr. and Mrs. Noble Sissle and Mr. and Mrs. Eubie Blake of The Shuffle Along Co. while it was in the city, recently. Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Wilberforce is here in attendance upon an annual A. M. E. conference, in session at St. John's church, and sponsor a $5,000 Wilberforce drive, starting this week. Friday evening, at which time President Gregg and Dean Gilbert H. Jones, the bishop's son, will speak. H. S. Chaucey says he is a candidate for the city council in the fourth district and Dr. Joe Thomas and Howard Murrell just think they are candidates, in the third. These two last were not with the people of ward 11, two years ago, in their fight against the Starlight-Fleming incubus and the former incubus for forget it so soon. A. J. Alexander and the old Charles Weaver will stand as candidates for assessor in ward 11. The "Smoker," Tuesday evening, at the Anchor Life Insurance Co. headquarters in E. 55th St., given by Pres. G. L. Cheatham in honor of Prof. H. A. Hunt, principal of Ft. Valley Ga. High and Industrial school, proved to be even more interesting and livier than the "smoker" he gave in honor of Edwin H. G. Hawley of Valley Ga. some weeks before, Dwight R. Williams served very acceptably as toast-master and the speakers were the editor of The Gazette, G. L. Cheatham, H. Murrell, Prof. Hunt, Rev H. M. Kingsley, Dr. O. A. Taylor, Wm. Conners and Wm. Harris, in the order named. The "fireworks" were again furnished by the editor of The Gazette who in closing his talk called upon those present to perfect an organization to help the purpose of getting better police protection for the Central Ave. district. This particularly for the sake of the children of tender years who have to live in that section of the city, our ministers and churches apparently refusing to lead in the matter. Kingsley, Murrell and Conners, particularly the first named, were greatly perturbed as a result of the editor's comment and added emphasis with their anamnously evasive talks. All three were in the Starlight-Fleming camp, two years ago, when the good people of ward 11 were struggling to throw off the distressing Starlight-Fleming political control. The talk of the evening, however, was made by Prof. Hunt whose discussion of conditions in the South affecting our people was as illuminating in nature. His an education of year-round, standing a observer, successful member of the race and a fluent and interesting speaker. Light re freshments and, of course, cigars were served.

Hospital at Tuskegee-Now Time for President Coolidge to Act Coolidge to Act. (Special to The Gazette) A serious situation has arisen in Johnstown, Pa. Negroes have been driven out. The Mayor is wrong in his handling of the situation but the aggravation is great. Negroes are largely responsible for this situation. Dives among certain classes of Negroes are prevalent. The majority of the type of people coming into the north from the south are of the dive proclivities. Everywhere our people live as a mass, revolting dives abound. Politicians wink at these dives in order to get a royalty and keep themselves in political control. The interest of our respectable people is sold for the support of vicious divekeepers and lawbreakers. The young Negro boys of tender years flock to these places and become demons in vice. The colored girl, loud, brazen and defiant make life hideous for decent people of every kind. Many of these people live together as common-law wives and trustees. They are together because they don't desire best and as a result, trusting, shooting and all forms of violence arise in these places. The lives of officers of the city in danger the moment they go to arrest one of the dives' pimps regardless of the crime he may have committed. The Negro church in every city should combine and help to wipe out these dives. Charitable and moral organizations should also co-operate in this work. Officers of the law must be rigid with Negro culprits as well as the others. Courts must inflict severe penalties and heads of cities must be fair and just, but determined to have dives broken up. What we Negro dives we say about white dives and the vicious and loud colony of dives is a menace to every body. Our people from the south are welcome anywhere in the north and should be told so by words and actions, but divekeepers and their pimps and harlots should be put in jail and the workhouse. One gets an idea of the civilization of Alabama when he reads the various laws that have been enacted to prevent the white and black races from being humane toward each other. The Gazette called the attention of the country to that one which forbids hospital service by either race to each other. In spite of this law, we are shown the spectacle of white men desiring to break it when they can profit materially by so doing. The law is inhuman and foolish but so long as no real gain could come from WHY THE STAR L Officers of the Company—W Was Really Worth—Had —Garvey a Great Captain H WHY THE BLACK STAR LINE FAILED! (Forwarded by Universal Service Bureau) Baltimore, Md.—There have been so many conflicting reports, giving various reasons for the failure of the Black Star Line that I have decided, as one of the officers of the company, to publish the truth. First: The management in the New York office was incompetent. Second: The ships were worthless. Third: They were used mostly for propaganda. The office at 56 W. 135th St., New York City, consisted of the following officers to manage the B. S. L. Steamship Corporation; Mr. Marcus Garvey, pres.; M. Jeremia Certain, vice-pres.; Henrietta Vinton Davis, second vice-pres.; George Tobias, treas.; Smith Green, gen. mgr.; L. Johnson, traffic mgr. Not one of these persons knew the first thing about a ship or the management of shipping business. Mr. Garvey, a great organizer and the founder of the greatest Negro movement on earth, has no knowledge of ships or of the shipping business. The first vice president is a cigar dealer, the locutionist, Messrs. Green, Johnson and the other officers were not at all familiar with the business. I had just returned from Europe as chief officer of the Steamship “Pasadena” of the U. S. Shipping Board when a letter came to my home from Mr. Garvey asking me to come to New York City to take charge of the “Yarmouth,” as chief officer. I heard of his great plans and I was very much enthused. Therefore, I immediately resigned my position with the U. S. Shipping Board and went to New York City. On my arrival, I bought five shares of the Black Star Line stock and also became a member of U. N. I. A. From that time I was an ardent supporter of the Black Star Line but I never believed in the business methods of the Black Star Line and my only reason for sticking was that I thought Mr. Garvey, recognizing his Don't Throw It to a Friend the viliation of it in the form of large salaries, it was studiously kept. This Negro hospital with its fat places is sufficient reason to disregard the law. Southern "chivalrous" white men who abominate (?) contact with Negroes forget their hate when the dollar becomes a real fact. The appointment of three white men to control the hospital is a blunder and insult. These white men are not witted to their soldiers, nor by their friends or relatives. Gen. Frank T. Hines has made a mistake. He has jeopardized the interest of his army in order that he might cater to reasonable southern prejudice and greed. White southerners are no friends of our soldiers, maimed or whole. Anything white southerners can do to humiliate our soldiers at any time, they will do. We do not believe the lives of our maimed soldiers safe under their control. This is brutal frankness, but nevertheless true. These men are not going there because of interest in or love for our they can but because of the money they can out of their jobs. Men (white) of honor have keen sense of the appropriateness of their acts as now prevalent in the south between races, would not accept the positions. Gen. Hines is lacking in moral courage and the finesse of judicial wisdom. There can be no compromise in this matter! We would unalterably oppose a colored staff in any southern hospital for white people of southern stripe. We take exactly the same stand toward white men in colored hospitals. We prefer not having those men there controlling our nurses. It is a fact that southmen coming in intimate contact with our men have never given good results. Some of these men are not to be trusted with the virtue of our women under their control. It is now time for President Coolidge to act. Justice and fairness are all we ask. President Coolidge not Gen. Hines would impose a colored control on a white hospital and certainly they will not convict them. We would not race what they would not do to other race. If we had no competent control, we would accept white control but not southern white control. We would welcome men from other sections of the country who have the sense of respect and justice toward our race but not a people who believe in damming the race in its attempt to finish. This issue will not be settled until it is settled properly. The only possible settlement is "Negro control." BLACK NINE FAILED! What the Yarmouth Cost and a Million Dollar Cargo t Organizer, Says ough Mulzac inability to handle the shipping business, would eventually turn it over into the failure would come. I knew little of him at that time and did not think that he would be the man he has proven to be. However, on Jan. 23, 1920, I boarded the Yarmouth as chief officer as she was lying at anchor outside the statue of Liberty laden with whiskey. I did not like the condition of things, for the ship him had been from distress of Cape May and was water-logged. The condition of the loggers, numbering thirty-five, was pitiful. They had to sleep in cold, wet, filthy rooms and were partly frozen. I thought at that time that I was between the devil and the deep sea for I had just given up a decent position for the sake of race pride. However, I decided to fight it out add make the ship as sea-worthy as possible. Captain Cockburn was master in charge at that time and I questioned him concerning the conditions. He told me that he did not intend to make a trip or Mr. Garvey and that Mr. Smith would be up the most ridiculous contract he had refused to take the ship out of New York. The cargo was worth one million dollars and the ship was chartered the day before prohibition went into effect and she had to be loaded away from the port before midnight or the cargo would be confiscated. Therefore, the freight was valued at $100,000 which the owners of the whisky would have been glad to pay in order to get it out of New York. The Black Star Line's president and the general manager drew up a contract for $11,000 without consulting the captain. That amount would not even be enough to pay the expenses of the trip to its destination. Then again, the cargo was even assigned to anyone and had to be bond in Cuba. For these reasons, Cockburn refused to sail. There upon, the owners of the cargo approached him and offered him $2,000. Help "Tow Away You or an Acqua (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY OCT. 13. 1923. to take the ship out. He accepted, and sailed but unfortunately the whisky was thrown into the ship's hold in such a hurry that the cargo shifted off Cape May as a result of bad weather, causing the ship to have a heavy list. She got waterlogged and part of the cargo had to berown overboard, so the ship had to be removed, and the mouth was built in 1885 in Scotland and she was a very good ship in her day but her condition at the time she was purchased by the Black Star Line was very poor. Her holier crowns were entirely gone and had to be patched up at every port. Her hull was practically worm out and her friendly accommodations were "fierce" and used for hauling coal during the war in any shape for carrying passengers. I valued her, at the time I joined her, at about $25,000, but I learned later that they had paid $165,000 for her. We eventually sailed again for Cuba after I had succeeded in making her seaworthy and got to Cuba on March Hugh Mulzac.

The Old Relief Our Copy of The maintenance who CRIMINAL 90 SAYS CAREER A FAILURE COUNTERFEITER KING FREED FROM ATLANTA PEN Sam Tate, oldest and most skilled bad coin muker, who now is in Philadelphia, Pa., has done his last bit. Clever as he was, the king of countertellers could not beat the game. His success in crime was measured in a few naturel contours and a few weeks or months of easy living, at most. His gains were soon gone, and today he is penniless without a friend or relative. His daughter, Emma Tate, who had followed him in crime, died nearly twenty years ago. Tate, 90 years old, came out of Atlanta, Ga., penitentiary recently, a hopeless paralytic, too old and crippled to make a living, honestly or dishonestly. He was taken to Philadelphia and is being cared for in a charitable institution. River pirate, burglar, highway robber, counterfeiter, gang leader, has been Tate's life—three-quarters of a century of crime. He has defied the law and the best efforts of skilled sleuths. He has defied the death sentence that his advancing years seemed to make out of every prison term. He has postponed old age with his 6 feet 3 of strong body. But now he is an old man, with all the feeble helplessness of old age, broken at last by disease. When he went to Atlanta on his last sentence it was thru a special order from Washing, because Tate had appealed to be sent to the prison he liked best among all he had tried. He went in a white-haired, almost erect man, strong for his years, confident as of old, the match for younger wits. But three years have done for him. His age has at last beaten him. He had to be carried out and started on his journey to Philadelphia, the scene of his most daring crimes. He is being cared for by the Pennsylvania Prison Society until a place in some old men's home can be found. If no such place is available, Tate may have to go to the almshouse. Police and court records tell of most of his life. Tate was never caught until he was 44 years old. He was born in Maryland and went to Philadelphia, where he set up as a junk dealer as a mask for disposal of the booty of his river robberies. He kept an old boat, in which he wandered up and down the river, robbing houses, tugs and private yachts. He was first caught in a haul of a gang of burglaries. Since that time he has not been out of the sight of the law. It was after he was arrested as a witness in the Sharpless murder case in Philadelphia in 1888 and aided the commonwealth in learning as much as was ever found in that still unsolved mystery of the wealthy farmer's death that Sam Tate abandoned his more active criminal career and became a quiet and dangerous counterfeiter. He was never a paper money maker. But the last coins he made, the ones they found in his little, dirty hangout in 1914, were almost too good to be detected. They "rang true." In 1891 Emma Tate, his daughter, a beautiful girl who had followed the old man throut these years, and aided him in his counterfeiting ventures, was passing the coin for her father. She was caught and sentenced to the penitentiary for three and a half years. She came out a year later and married while her father was doing a five-year term at Atlanta. She died soon afterward, leaving the old man alone. When he came out again all his old eronies were disappearing, too. But he kept on at the game. He was developing his methods of making false coin. In 1907 he was arrested with a gang of five, and the jury acquitted him. But three months later he again was arrested, this time in a house where a counterfeiting outfit was discovered by the detectives. He protested his innocence, saying that lead pipe found there was part of his stock as a junk dealer. He was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. In 1914, several weeks after Tate's sentence was commuted, a detective received a tip of a counterfeiting joint in North Second street in Philadelphia. He went there one night, found the door locked, broke in and searched the place. He found the layout in the kitchen—molds, powders, metals. Then he sat down to wait for the counterfeiters to come in. At 2 o'clock in the moring two old men approached the door. Police surrounded them. The detective looked into the face of one and saw Sam Tate. "I thought you were dead, Sam," the detective told him. "No, not yet." Tate replied, laconically. With him was George Reilly, then 75 years old, one of the few 'old timers' whom Tate felt he could make a partner. The secrets of molding the coins were Sam's own, and he kept them only for such old pals as George Reilly. When they sent Sam to Atlanta the last time it seemed like a death sentence. But the man who had spent three-quarters of a century in crime came out, ill and feeble, to wait for death. Some people are proud of their past—because it is past. SLEUTH TRAILS MAN 2000 MILES DETECTIVE MARKED FOR DEATH —COMPANION SLAIN. Longest Continuous Pursuit of Fugitive Ever Made—Thrills in Every Move. John Jones got John Smith and brought him back from Honduras. It cost $14,000 in the currencies of half a dozen or more tropical nations, 20,000 miles of travel, a murder, a snipwreck and a bookful of experiences replete with thrills on jungle trails and mountain ledges, with poisonous reptiles, swamp feveres, hurricanes and exiled crooks and demimondanes, diplomats and at least one President of a republic. In Chicago's Criminal Court John M. Smith, alias Singleton, alias Singer, erstwhile president of the Citizen's National Bank of Dixon, Tenn., former lumber operator with connections here, was put on trial charged with embezzlement. He is alleged to have obtained $18,000 from the National Bond and Investment Company by bill of lading frauds. John E. Jones, a Chicago detective told the jury how he had captured Smith and brought him back to the United States from Honduras. It was the longest continuous pursuit of a tugitive ever made, it is said. Detective Jones trailed his man thru Dixon and Nashville, Tennessee, to indianapolis, Charleston, W. Va., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Hot Springs, Ark; El Paso, Texas; Juarez, Mexico; Mazatlan, Mexico; Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Sacramento. At San Francisco Smith sailed for Guatemala, Central America, and left the ship at San Jose Nov. 3 and traveled fast to Guatemala City, Puerto Barrios, Guatemala; Belize, British Honduras, and the Isle of Livingston, in the Caribbean Sea. There he met Capt. William Grace, a professional insurrectionist, former Texas Ranger and favored contractor under President Diaz of Mexico. Smith had $21,000 and he and Grace planned a venture. And Grace left Smith after both survived a hurricane in a dugout canoe trip to Port of Cortez, Spanish Honduras. A bubbling insurrection led Smith to San Pedro sula, where he met Mme. May Rose an adventurer, formerly of new Orleans. Meanwhile Detective Jones had reached Barrios. He cabled the State Department and his message was intercepted. The exiled criminals plotted to poison his coffee, but failed. A former United States consul at Guatemala City, according to Jones, warned the detective to desist, saying: "Lay off Smith of I'll have you killed." Jones refused. Capt. William Owens, another exiled American, who had aided Smith to flee Livingston Island, and several aids attacked Jones that night in the Hotel Imperial, Guatemala City. Jones went to Tela, Honduras, and took a motor boat to Capona, where he met a negro opium smuggler from Costa Rica. They made common cause and went to San Pedro. Jones then located Smith in Maculico, Spanish Honduras. Next morning a squad of barefoot soldiers, headed by the chief of police, under orders from the government, thrust their bayonets at Smith from all sides. He was locked up. That night while Jones slept beside his negro aid a bullet crashed thru the window, piercing the native's head. The native lay where Jones had been earlier in the evening. A second bullet killed Jones' mule. Jones then fell, ill with the black water fever, a tropical disease with a high death rate. For thirteen days death impended. His recovery was hastened by the arrival at his bedside of Sergt. John Murphy, State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne's right-hand-man, bearing from President's Wilson an official demand for the delivery of the prisoner. The demand was obeyed. Then He Could Sleep "Doctor," said he, "I'm a victim of insomnia. I can't sleep if there's the least noise, such as a cat on the back fence, for instance."
