The One Member of the School Board Our People Can Always Depend Upon. For twelve years, Mrs. Virginia D. Green has served most acceptably indeed as a member of the Cleveland Board of Education. Her service to our people particularly during these years has been of great benefit to us and a credit to herself. She has always stood for fairness to all teachers, and has never missed a chance to help a qualified girl to secure a school. She stands and has stood for absolute equality of treatment for all teachers, and this often to her own disadvantage. She was a leader in raising the teachers' salaries from a maximum of $1200 to a maximum of $2400 a year, and succeeded in opening the school-houses for the use of all the people. Mrs. Green is a woman of democratic sentiments, and insists at all times on fair play and a square deal for our children and teachers. It is really necessary that we do our utmost to help, re-elect her to the school board, this year. She deserves it, she has earned it. Mrs. Green is unquestionably one of the ablest and best members of the body and it would be a distinct loss to the community were she defeated for re-election. This is an impossibility if our people will do but their clear duty.—Adv. Among the visitors at The Gazette office, Monday, were Capt. Chas. E. Frye, ex. see., and Walter E.

JACK TRICE'S CREED Written on the Eye of His Recent Death From Injuries Received In the Northwest. After the death of Jack Trice, of this city and Ravenna, O., the football star of Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, there was found in his coat pocket, unaddressed, the following chronicle of his "thoughts just before the first real college game" of his life. It embodies a creed worthy of general emulation, and President R. A. Pearson of Iowa State College, read it to 3,000 students and faculty members who attended memorial services held on the campus in honor of the dead athlete. Trice wrote as follows: "Curtis Hotel, Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 5, '23. "My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life." "The honor of my race, family and self are at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field tomorrow. "Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays, I must break through the opponent's line and stop the play in their territory. "Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Roll back the interference. Watch out for crossbucks and reverse-end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good." (Signed) "JACK." Mr. C. Tobias, a secretary of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., spoke in his usual interesting way in the parlor of the P. W. A., Monday evening. Recently, Mayor J. F. Floyd (white), of Spartanburg, S. C., placed an advertisement in "The Old Reliable" for one Mrs. Mamie E. Staton whose uncle, Wm. A. Hugston, 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 uncle 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 you your friends to do likewise? ALEXANDER H. MARTIN, ESQ. Our Candidate for Judge—Our People Should Vote En Masse for Him and He Will Be Elected. Attorney A. H. Martin is making a winning face for judge of the municipal court, four year term. Clevelanders are proud of the record he is making. An Ohioan by birth, rearing and education, Mr. Martin is descended from the best blood of Virginia. His well known integrity of character and great legal learning has caused him to be rated for years as one of the leaders of the bar of the state. He merits and is receiving the enthusiastic support of men and women of all classes for he is essentially a man of the people. At this time when strong effort is being made to corrupt the course of justice by spreading broadcast seeds of racial and religious prejudice and hatred, it is exceedingly fortunate that our group has a man, a candidate for the judgeship, who may be relied upon to perform the duties of the office according to the best and highest ideals and traditions of the bench and bar of the state and to keep the administration of justice in our municipal court above reproach. The Citizen's league in its recent bulletin had this to say in reference to his candidacy: "Alexander H. Martin; resides 2392 E. 49th Street; age 50; university and legal (W. R. U. law school) training; admitted to bar 1897 practicing alone; a man and lawyer of excellent character, training and ability; in our opinion he is well equipped for judicial service. QUALIFIED."—Adv. YOUNGSTOWN DISTRICT Appointments Made at the Recent North Ohio A. M. E. Conference Meet in St. John's Church, Cleveland, Ohio. The forty-second annual session of the North Ohio Conference of the A. M. E. Church closed in St. John's church on the 14th inst. It was undoubtedly one of the most successful in the history of the conference. The reports showed progress along practically all lines. The session renewed its pledge to stand by Rt. Rex, J. H. Jones, presiding bishop of the conference, in the great work he is accomplishing at Wilberforce, in the rebuilding of Shorter Hall. Dr. J. C. Anderson of Pittsburgh was endorsed for elevation to the bishopric, by the next General Conference of the Church, meeting in Louisville, Ky., May, 1924. The lay delegates from this conference are: T. W. Hicks of St. John's and F. E. Young of St. James' church. The Cleveland district appointments were published in The Gazette, last week. Here are the others: Youngstown District — Presiding elder, Dr. J. M. Gilmere; Youngstown, Charles Bundy; St. James' Cleveland, J. M. Evans; Canton, A. E. Allen; Akron and Barberton, J. M.

Chryer, from Central Alabama, and Jake Davis, a local deacon from the East Alabama Conference. A Bishop Jailed in Haiti. New York City—Bishop Auguste Albert, of Cape Haitien, Haiti, has been arrested and jailed for holding a meeting in which he deplored existing conditions in the little black republic for some years dominated by U. S. marines. Bishop Albert was placed in irons. The New York correspondent of the Courier Haitien, Joseph Mirault, has telegraphed the facts to President Coolidge. The masons and members of the Eastern Star, headed by the Second reg. band, made an imposing appearance.

The Black Star Line Co. paid $25,000 for her. How she ever passed the steamboat inspectors. I do not know, but I do know people took desperate chances of their lives to sail in her. At no time did the boat clear its expenses, as was stated by Captain Wise (white) who ran her. She made a few trips up and down the Hudson river and then was left to sink somewhere in the river. That was the last of that $35,000. The Yarmouth's cost and repair charges totaled over $200,000 as was true in the case of the Kanawha, making a total of at least $435,000, nearly a half million dollars literally squandered for the three unseaworthy and almost worthless boats. Now about "the mystery ship," or the promised boat, the Wheattley. There never was any ship by that name, nor was there any by the name of Frederick Douglass or Antonio Maceo. The hulks, Yarmouth, Kanawha and Shadyside, were all the boats The Black Star Line Co. ever owned, and it is almost a label of the word "boat" to call any one of them that. A loyal member of The U. N. I. A. and a stockholder in The Black Star Line Co. it made my heart ache to note the waste of money sunk in the Yarmouth, Kanawha and Shadyside.

CARPENTER Frank G. Carpenter, senior member of the law firm of Carpenter & Smith, 2012 Cleveland Discount Building, is a candidate for the Municipal Bench, six year term. Mr. Carpenter is forty-three years old, married and has three children, and lives at No. 1916 East 81st Street. He was a candidate for chief justice of the municipal court, two years ago, and made a fine race at that time, and will in all probability be one of the favored five for the year term, on Nov. 6th. Mr. Carpenter attended public and high school in his native town of Wabash, Indiana. He then went to Hiram College, Ohio, where he graduated in 1901, with the degree of B.L. After receiving his literary degree he attended the Indiana Law School of the University of Indianapolis, and graduated from the law school with the degree of LL.B. Mr. Carpenter practiced law at Wabash, Indiana, for ten years, and was twice elected prosecuting attorney of his county on the Republican ticket. Mr. Carpenter Nominated For Judge. Chicago, Ill.—Edward H. Morris, a well-equipped lawyer, well known throughout the country as grand master of our G. U. O. O. F., has been successful in his fight for nomination as a candidate for Justice of the Cook County Superior Court. His campaign was managed by Edw. H. Wright; county committeeman, leader of the 2nd Ward, assisted by Alderman Louis B. Anderson. --- IN UNION IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS Left To Sink! Was Worse Than then Purchased yllis Wheatley, "the Mystery d on the Orion, Former lesson for Our People. ager of The Black Star Line Co., started the purchase of an ex-German ship, named the Orlon, and still owned by the U. S. Shipping Board. It was to be named the Phyllis Wheatley and it was claimed that $25,000 had been paid the U. S. S. B. on a bid for it. I got the ship's specifications and found that her great consumption of coal and her low rate of speed would make her an expensive boat, too. It was indeed fortunate that the Orlon was not delivered to The Black Star Line Co., for she would surely have been another "white elephant" on its hands. She would have caused the loss of many more thousands of dollars of poor people's money which had been literally "thrown into the sea." Only the $25,000, which is still held by the shipping board, and which it claims as forfeit of contract, was lost on the contemplated purchase of the Orlon. I had been appointed captain of the "Phyllis Wheatley" but they never got the ship, Orlon, to rename it such. Thus ended The Black Star Line ships' history and much of its money, up to the time of Mr. Garvey's trial. The Black Star Line failed because its officers were totally ignorant of the shipping business and would not listen to the advice of those who were experienced in the business. They refused absolutely to employ on their office-staff any person of practical experience to assist in managing the business. Here is a lesson for our people, generally, that should not be lost. 1914 penter had the reputation of making Wabash County the best prosecuting attorney it ever had. In 1911 he moved to Cleveland, where he has resided ever since, and has been engaged in the general practice of law. Mr. Carpenter is well qualified for the position of municipal judge, as he has had a great deal of legal experience, during the past twenty-two years. He is a man who believes in giving every one, regardless of race, color or religion, a fair and square deal. He believes in upholding the constitution and laws of the United States of America and the state of Ohio. Mr. Carpenter has always been a friend of our people, and we believe him a man with splendid ability and fitness and fairness to serve on the municipal bench. The Gazette recommends him to its readers and feels sure that he will be elected judge for the six year term. There are five judges to be elected for the six year term, this year.

Let every Afro-American voter in the state vote NO in the referendum on the Taft and Albaugh bills. As laws, they mean higher taxes and rent for every one of us. Do not be misled into voting for them. --- Supt. Richard C. Bunny has issued two very interesting and valuable circular-booklets on the industrial and vocational courses and the elementary teacher's course of the Combined (State) Normal & Industrial Department of Wilberforce University. He writes the editor of The Gazette that he will be glad to mail them to any person interested. We urge our parents, particularly, to write for them at once. --- That was an excellent letter in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, one day last week, that the Hon. John P. Green had on the killing of the two Italians in their home in ward 11 by two policemen. If a man's home, in the eyes of the law, is not his "castle," even in ward 11, what is it? A bawdy-house, honkytonk, buffet-fat, gambling or dope den if any one can enter it without any warrant in law and do as they please, even kill the occupants? That is about the condition of things in that "Starlight-Fleming" balliwick, these days, it seems. And it is all the legitimate outgrowth of conditions existing under the Davis and FitzGerald local administrations, and very little changed under the present administration, we regret to say. DICTATOR FOR SPAIN. Recent events in Spain show that human nature has undergone little change through the centuries, and ought to bring home to the most ardent champion of the League of Nations how fruitless it is to try to enforce any such undertaking as the league covenant. The army is in control of Spanish affairs and the people are all delighted. Gen. Rivera, the military dictator, receives ovations wherever he goes, and the king is enthusiastically applauded because he has discarded civilian for military attire. The army is the symbol of force, and the Spanish people look to it to deliver them from their troubles rather than place their dependence on peaceful discussions and debates. "SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT." Owing to continued interruption from strikes, thirty shoe manufacturing firms have moved from Lynn, Mass., in the past two years. Their thousands of employees find themselves without work. They lost not only their wages during the periods of strike, but now have their income permanently cut off until they can find new jobs. By following the advice of the professional agitators of their union organization the shoe workers have suffered huge net losses. There is a point where employers of labor prefer to close up shop rather than submit to further demands of professional labor leaders. That point has been reached at Lynn, it seems, and is undoubtedly being approached in numerous other industries elsewhere. House Joint Resolution, No. 5, 85th General Assembly of Ohio, proposing to amend Article V, section 1, of the constitution of the state (relative to the elective franchise) was introduced by Representative Harry E. Davis of Cleveland, our only member of the Assembly. It provides for the elimination of the two words, "white male" which, were it not for the federal constitution (and its amendments are part of the U. S. constitution) would prevent both male and female Afro-Americans and white females from voting in this state. The franchise was extended to our men in Ohio in 1870 and to all women in 1920. Notwithstanding this fact, the old "white male" provision has remained in the state constitution and the effort, some years ago to eliminate it, defeated. The second amendment to be voted on at the coming election will be H. J. R., No. 5, providing for the elimination of the words "white male" and this time success must "perch upon the banners" of our people and the white women of Ohio. It will not, however, unless Ohio Afro-Americans show a deal more interest in the matter than they did when this very question was up for consideration, some years ago. Therefore, we call upon our ministers, particularly, and upon our leading men and women of every community in the state to impress our people and the white women of their various cities, towns, etc., with the importance of voting at the next election and for this amendment to the state constitution of Ohio. The time is short; therefore, we trust that every one, who realizes the importance of the elimination of the objectionable words, will constitute themselves a committee of one to do all in their power to bring about the greatly desired result. We are told that Ohio is the only state in the union that still has the words "white male" in its constitution. Let us "get very busy" immediately, if we have not been. A Candidate for Municipal Judge Who Has Earned the Support of Our People of This Community. One of the oldest, best and most favorably known jurists, practicing at the local bar, is Judge Joseph C. Bloch. As a member of the Ohio Legislature, in 1896, he was one of the two most active supporters of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's antlynching bill, now Ohio's famous Anti-Lynching law, the basis of about all such bills considered and passed in the various state legislatures of the country since, and of which the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill is also a copy. As the first judge of the court, he will be established a record for fairness to all reference to religion, class or race, or color that has never been excelled and rarely ever equaled. Judge Bloch ought to and doubtless will be elected and our people must do their clear duty by voting for him to a man. Tell your friends to do so also.—Ady.

Were I to accept it, I would prove false to myself. As one who unalterably believes in liberty of conscience, am opposed to any group or organization which emphasizes racial, religious or national differences and thereby breeds prejudices amongst the people. I stand for the Constitution of the United States and for its guarantee of freedom and equality. I stand for a united people regardless of all differences and distinctions. I stand for the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Men. What a research team in Falkland Suspicion, Love, not Hate among all her people.

Ideal Surroundings DO YOU KNOW WE UM-THE SUNDAY PAPERS WELLA, ILL & OLD, THROUGH EEM The marriage of Miss Marie Taylor to Leonard Brown of Cleveland on Sept. 11, at New Castle, Pa., was announced, last week, by the bride's aunt, Mrs. J. Eleanor Peebles of Pittsburg. The announcement was withheld on account of the illness of the bride's mother, Mrs. Florence Gettis Taylor, who died, week before last. Several months ago, the Hollenden's new management let out its Afro-American bell-boys, substituting men and boys of other races or classes. Last week, this same management complained that some of the red-caps at Union Station were directing persons from the Hollenden to other local hotels. This, doubtless because some of the red-caps were former Hollenden hotel bell-boys. The speakers, Sunday afternoon, at the Cory M. E. church meeting, under the auspices of the "Y"'s Cedar Ave. Boys' branch, were: Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, C. H. Tobias of N. Y. City, Robert E. Lewis, gen. sec. of the local "Y"; R. J. Frackleton and Alex. H. Martin, Esq., chair, and vicechair, respectively, of the "Y"'s Cedar Ave. Boys' branch. Music was furnished by the Mozart Glee and Thomas Choral clubs under the direction of Harry E. Thompson. "Eddy" Young, for many years a resident of this city, well and most favorably known, died Tuesday, Oct. 16, in Kane, Pa., his old home, and was buried there on the 18th. He owned a bloom on the 19th and was valued at $75,000. Many years ago, the philanthropist, Mr. Gordon, who gave Gordon park to the city of Cleveland, also left "Eddy" $10,000. The latter had been his faithful attendant for many years, and acted in the same capacity for his son, Charles Gordon, until his death, some years ago. He is a member of the community, as well as in Kane, will sincerely mourn his death. The National Y. M. C. A. convention, which opened, last week Wednesday, in the Hollenden assembly room, and closed this week Tuesday at 5 P. M., was attended by the following named Afro-American delegates: Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Al.; Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Newport News (Va.) Star; Dr. W. T. Nelson of Cincinnati, Goe. E. Arthur of Chicago, H. C. Parker, Channing H. Tobias, Geo. A. Tayler, Dr. D. E. Hymes of N.Y. City. All were guests of the Hollenden hotel during their say in the city, last and this week. Editor Lewis paid the Gazette sanctum a very pleasant call, last Saturday noon. In a letter to the editor of The Gazette, received on Wednesday, Frank J. Perkins of Detroit, for years a well-known and highly respected resident of Cleveland, wrote on Tuesday of this week as follows: "Some folks say it is never too late to do good," he wrote. "If a person ever gets too old to do good?" He followed the foregoing with this interesting and very pleasing information to his hosts of friends in this city: "On Oct. 21, 23, born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Perkins of Detroit a ten pound son. Both doing well." Mr. Perkins has answered his own question. So there is no need of our doing more work.

The "Yarmouth" Purchased For $165,000, Sold For $6,000 Was Worth $25,000 When Purchased—Took on a Cargo for $12,000 That Should Have Netted $45,000 Used As Propaganda—Garvey's Relatives (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. Jerrilia Certain, vice-pres.; Henrietta Vinton Davis, second vice-pres.; George Tobias, treasurer; 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, treasurer, 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-maker. The second is a reader and elocutionist. Messrs. Green, Johnson and the other officers were not at all familiar with the business. I had just returned from Europe as chief 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 my arrival. I bought five shares of Black Star Line stock and also became a member of U.N. I, A. From that time I was an ardent supporter of Mr. Garvey and believe in him, but I never believed in the business methods of the Black Star Line and my only reason for sticking was that inability to handle the recognition his inability to handle the situation, would eventually turn it over into the hands of experienced men before 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 ship she was lying at anchor outside the station laden with whiskey. I did not like the condition of things, for the ship had just returned from distress off Cape May and was partly water-logged. The condition of the passen- Exceptionall The "Yarmouth" $165,000, Sold Was Worth $25,000 When I for $12,000 That Should Used As Propaganda (Forwarded by the Universal Serv- ice Bureau, Article 2) Baltimore, Md.—On the Yarmouth's arrival in Havana we were greeted by thousands of Negroes and boats of all descriptions laden with spectators hovered around the ship. I had refused⁴ to allow anyone to come aboard until I had completed cleaning and painting. This took five days. However, after that, spectators crowded her from stern to stern. The cargo was assigned to no one. Therefore, we had to lay out the stern and the deck. We could secure a dock in hope of getting the cargo ashore in bond. At that time there was a strike of long-shorenheit; it took another two weeks before we finally discharged the cargo. We were in Cuba thirty days. When the charter party for the whisky was drawn no demurrage clause was entered, the Black Star Line's manager knowing nothing of the shipping business. This caused the ship to lose the thirty days. The Yarmouth lost $500 a day for that period as a result of the delay. If a demurrage clause is entered in the ship's manager knowing nothing of the shipping business and is ready to discharge, it is entitled to claim as demurrage, the earning value of the ship, day by day. Sunday included. We had on board thirty-five passengers from New York bound for Jamaica and Colon, who had to be fed and kept during this time. Foodstuff in Havana was extremely high and it cost thousands of dollars for the ship's up-keep with passengers on board. However, in spite of all the trouble of the Black Star Line, there was a future for it that no other steamship had had in Cuba. The wealthy Cubans were so enthused by the ship's up-keep,essions, they were willing to secure the trade, if the Black Star Line would secure proper ships. They did not think much of the Yarmouth, as a commercial prospect, but they were enthused over the intelligent body of officers who manned the ship, and Don't Throw It to a Friend ly Interesting "Purchased For For $6,000 Purchased—Took on a Cargo d Have Netted $45,000— a—Garvey's Relatives thought of a greater future prospect for the race. After our cargo was out, we left Havana with passengers only and two days later were in Jamaica. The ship's boilers were in very bad shape and had to be welded in every port. Our chief engineer John O. Garrett, was one of our most intelligent young engineers and no one could have handled that ship with better skill. After our boilers had been repaired, the船 coiled and provisioned, we were ordered to transport passengers on board. On our arrival, we were again greeted by thousands of Negroes who had made elaborate preparations for us. We spent three days in Colon while the captain arranged to take 500 immigrants to Cuba since the ship had no cargo. I had to build accommodations in the ship's hole for them. From Cuba, we were ordered to Boacas Del Foro, then to Admerratic (Republic of Panama), where we loaded 100 tons of coconuts. Thence to Port Simon (Republic of Costa Rica). We had been ordered to these ports as propulsion for the ship. A gained thousands of new members as sult. The prospect of trade was very good. We then sailed to Santiago, Cuba and landed our immigrants and sailed for Jamaica again. On our arrival there, we arranged for a load of coconuts, coiled the ship, the boilers repaired and started to load the coconuts when we received a telegram, signed by Mr. Garvey, ordering the ship to sail immediately for Boston, cargo or no cargo. However, we got seven hundred tons of coconuts on board and sailed. We could not get enough provisions in Jamaica to take the ship to Boca as it was just after we had the British and still had its war restrictions in effect. Therefore the captain decided to call at Nassau where a little more provisions were secured. We left Nassau and made for the gulf stream, but when off Cape Hatteras, we found we would not have enough coal (or Help "Tow Away Your Child or an Acquaintance THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

We then decided to call at Norfolk, Va., to coal and provision. On our arrival, we had orders from Mr. Garvey to proceed to Philadelphia. We had 700 tons of cocoalnuts on our ship. Finally, the owners of the Black Star Line for damage at the end of this trip, Captain Cookburn 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. To the landmouth for Cuba, we chartered to the fertilizer for Cuba did not know that was paid for that time was $22 a ton for the time that was $22 a ton for New York to Havana, for that kind of 900 tons and weathered. After five days on pleasant weather, we arrived in Cuba and landed our cargo in five days. We ordered to Port au Haiti. On our arrival, we found our cargo running off of coal and provision which could be had there at that time. Therefore, after three days and with our tow passengers from New York to Jamaica on board, I advised the captain to leave immediately. Seeing the danger of being stranded in Haiti, he cleared at once for Jamaica. On our arrival, we had to have our boilers repaired again, and our Japanese ship called the Kayo Marc. We sailed to Sarananna 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 disinclined to be advised. This was a salvage fregail Valley and 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. (Forwarded by the Universal Service Bureau. Article 3.) Baltimore, Md.-The two other boats, in addition to the Yarmouth, were the Kanawha and the Shady-side. The Kanawha was a yacht CAPT. HUGH MULZAC. built by Seabury's Shipbuilding Company for some millionaire in 1907. During the war she was com-mandered by the U. S. government for use in the navy and war-time use had practically put her boilers and engine out of commission. She was a very valuable piece of property in her day, but at the time she was purchased by The Black Star Line Company she was worth but very little and to put her in shape again would cost thousands of dollars. However, the company had paid $65,000 for her which was $55,000 more than she was worth. The Kanawha was of no material value, was no good for commercial purpose and could not even be used successfully in the West Indian intercolonial trades. She had been very speedy, and consumed more coal than would clear her expenses. She was equipped with Seabury water tube boilers and the most delicate and high powered piece of machinery any ship could have. At the time she was bought by The Black Star Line her boiler tubes had been practically burnt out and her machinery, condensers and evaporators were all out of commission. I failed to see why such a ship was bought. She had energy space and could easily commandeer thirty-air passengers. The Kanawha made several vain attempts to sail from New York for the West Indies. The first was made by a white captain (Captain Swift). 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 he could be laid out, but no ship would take the risk. After a conference between 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 way 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 not sure 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, in assistance of the Japanese crew, and then proceeded to New York. On our way, we had boiler troubles again and our assistance of the crew again. We 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 ship. We had to be super-cargo and a pursuer on board the ship (Mr. Garvey's relatives). However, when the cargo was to be checked off in New York, The Black Star Line had no one in the office who could measure it so as to check up with the owners. Therefore, they had to accept the figures submitted to them by the owners of the cargo. This was the last trip of the Yarra Line, and the boilers were bad. Finally she was taken to Morse's dock in Staten Island where she lay until she was sold at auction by Mr. Morse for $6,000 for wharfage. In my next article, I will write about the Kanawa and Shadyside, the Black Star Line's other two boats. I'll also discuss the cause of the failure of the B. S. L. the very man from whom they had bought the ship and who recommended her as a first-class ship. This man could not take the ship any further than the Jersey coast and had to put in at Philadelphia. He left her there because the ship was not sea-worthy. She was towed back to New York and after lying there, a few months, Mr. Garvey decided to make his excursion tour of the West Indies. Central America in his yacht, the *Caribbean* coast, upon contracted with the Morse dry dock in Staten Island to repair the ship for $25,000 and, after a wait of about two months, he had to leave for the West Indies without the Kanawha. Not knowing any better, O. M. Thompson, vice president and general manager of the Black Star Line, extended President Garvey's contract with the Morse Dry Dock Co. from $25,000 to $45,000 for the contemplated repairs in his yacht, the *Caribbean* coast, on the Co. announced the completion of the repairs, I warned him that the ship was NOT completed and that she would never reach the West Indies; adding: "If she happens to get there, she will never return." I knew the work on the water-tube boilers was not done as it should have been. However, my advice was ignored, as usual, and the ship sailed; this time under Captain Richardson, a member of the race. As soon as the船 got outside of New York harbor, she repaired. After putting in some tubes in her boilers, she sank again. This time she reached Florida and Havana. It took the Kanawha 25 days to get to Cuba. A ship in good condition could make the run in three days, but as I said before it was lucky to get there. But when she took to the knees, Jamaica, but crippled for fair. They tried to proceed to Colon, but could not make it. However, Mr Garvey spent $10,000 more than Jamaica she succeeded in reaching Antilla, Cuba where she is still lying at anchor, if the Cuban government has not sold her for harbors. This was the end of $65,000 paid to Morse Dry Dock and other companies for repairs. In addition there were numerous other expenses incurred in the effort to run the ship. The Kanawha must have cost about $200,000, in all, of the Black Star Line Co.'s money and, in return, never turned in to it one cent, and have shown how she managed the boat, Yarmouth, in article 1. In this, article 2, I have covered the expensive and also unseaworthy Kanawha, the second of the Black Star Line's three boats. In my next and last article, I will cover the third boat's experiences, etc., and explain the "mystery ship," the Phyllis Weathey, and explain the status of the Orion deal which never went thru.

Y., Sept. 26-29, '23, PETITION YOU, PRAY YOU: To take cognizance of the moh murder lynching custom, steadily practiced now for 40 years with 4,000 humans mostly of us, done to death with flendish tortures without semblance of trial, unstopped by laws or agencies of the state. We pray you to advocate and publicly declare for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and to recommend it in your message to congress. Pray tell us whether you favor it, thus giving hope to our people, and; To take cognizance of the too long-tolerated violation of Sec. 2 of the 14th Article of the Constitution whereby illegally disfranchised adult Colored citizens are counted for the number of members of the National House of Representatives from several states respectively. We pray you, renowned for advocacy of the justice, declare against this injustice, this violence federal law, and urge congress to initiate means to bring compliance with the constitution. We pray your answer; and To take cognizance of the segregating and herding together, apart from others, of Colored Americans in public conveyances, even in interstate commerce and transportation, a treatment normal in a republic only for defective, diseased, criminal humane and for the lower animals, and; take cognizance of the refusal by the federal government to permit colored men to enter West Point, or the federal military citizens training camps except segregated, and when applicants are sufficiently numerous to make up a unit, or permit Colored military units to be incorporated in regiments with other American soldiers, or permit these or even whole Colored regiments to be part of that regiment. We will remove this color discrimination and ask your answer, and; To take cognizance of the failure to admit Colored youth to Annapolis or to enlist them, or permit them to become sailors, marines, seamen, or even petty officers, except in the mess or as coal passers and trimmers or as oilers, and to abolish this race discrimination. We pray your answer, and; To free by pardon or on parole the Colored soldiers of the gallant 24th in Fort Leavenworth federal prison already so long for retaliation, poorly proven or not proven at all, against goading insult and provocation and insult to women of their race. We do now ask whether you will grant this special plea for clemency, and; To grant your dedication, so magnificent of the federal hospital men and women in charge with Colored doctors at the head and in command. We pray your answer once again, and; To require of Mexico before resuming full diplomatic relations, that the present race and color immigration bar against U. S. citizens be removed and that there be no such bar in the future. We do now pray your answer, and finally; To take cognizance of the segregation remaining from the last southern Democratic administration, or enlarged since, of the Colored employees of the federal government for federal government buildings in the executive departments of which you are the supreme head, and to abolish it altogether by executive order or somehow thus undoing direct humiliation and hurtful degradation of citizens by the U. S. A. itself. Most earnestly do we pray this as to your department and pray you tell us now. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. ARE YOU SICK?
