Our Voters' Rally Elyria, O.—On the night before election our voters have decided to hold a political meeting at the M. E. church on Middle Ave., near 16th St. Arrangements are being made to have the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, of Cleveland, present as well as other speakers. Voters from Lorain, Oberlin, Elyria and other parts of the county will be present, and a big meeting is looked for according to Robert W. Pulley who is making the arrangements. Southern Editors and Lynching. Atlanta, Ga.—Editors of leading daily papers in six southern states have signed a statement asking for mutual helpfulness and co-operation between the races in the South, for adequate educational advantages for our people, for equality before the law, and for the abatement of mob violence. The paper was drafted in a conference of Virginia editors and has since been signed personally by more than fifty other editors of leading dailies in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. Practically every man to whom it was presented readily attached his name. It is believed, therefore, that with few exceptions it fairly represents the attitude of the southern press.

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 advertise in or subscribe for it, and tell your friends to do likewise? 4GLEELE VOTE FOR C. G. BRENNER! C. G. Brenner, a Cleveland by birth and an attorney practicing in the local courts for eleven years, is a candidate for municipal judge, six-year term. He is a product of the public schools of Cleveland and Lakewood, and of the Cleveland Law school, Baldwin University. Mr. Brenner is a Mason, Knight of Pythias and Odd Fellow, and for years has been a member of the Western Reserve, Cleveland and Wampanoag Republican clubs. He is thorly competent and deserving of the honor he seeks. The charge made in a local newspaper, last week, that Atty. Brenner is a member of the Ku Klux Klan is malicious and should not be credited by any one for a single moment because there is absolutely no truth in it. Many of our people who may not know Mr. Brenner, personally, are well acquainted with his father, the Hon. Charles Brenner, one of our old citizens, a member of the Ohio Assembly, and a true-blue friend of the race who has always stood "four squire" for us when called upon to act in the interest of our people, whether he was in or out of the legislature. The Gazette, therefore, endorses whole-heartedly the condidacy of Representative Brenner's son and asks its readers, voters, to be sure to cast a vote for Atty. C. G. Brenner for municipal judge, six-year term, on election day, Nov. 6. 23. A STRONG CANDIDATE! Attorney L. R. Canfield, Splendidly Equipped—Popular, Broadminded, Dependable and Capable—A Friend of the Race. Councilman L. R. Canfield is a candidate for municipal judge, four year term. He is a graduate of Ohio State University and the University of Michigan Law department. Mr. Canfield is an active practicing attorney of twenty years' experience in Cleveland and is now serving a second term in the City Council. Appointed to fill a vacancy in 1921, he was elected in 1922 by a very large majority. Mr. Canfield has been a faithful and conscientious worker for the eighteenth ward. The readers of The Gazette should vote for him. Indeed, they are urged to do so by the editor because only men fair and, friendly to the race should be elected to the bench with the assistance of our votes, and Attorney Canfield is thorny dependable from our standpoint. If elected, and the outlook for this is most encouraging, he will make a fair and impartial judgment to all, serving without prejudice against race, color or religion.—Adv. *Georgia Originally a Penal Colony.* London, Eng.—A tablet brought to light in locating the bones of Gen.

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. 1910 East $1st 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 six 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.

Wing is the only woman candidate for the Council in the third district and one of the ablest. She is a daughter of the late Judge Francis J. Wing, one of the ablest jurists to ever serve this county and state. She was born and has lived in the district all her life. Miss Wing is thirty-seven years old, is studying at the Cleveland Law school and has never been a candidate for public office before. She was secretary of the Y. W. C.

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. Do not fail to vote for Atty. Carpenter. — Adv. He Has Proven One of the Best Members of City Council And. Has Earned Another Term. John D. Marshall is especially fitted by education, training, and experience to represent properly the fourth district and the city in the next Council. He finished college in three years, earning his own way, and taught high school for six years. He has been engaged in the practice of law since 1914, and has been in public life almost ever since that time. Prior to his election to the City Council, he served for four years as an assistant law director of the city and commissioner of franchises. As law director he saved the city upwards of $300,000 a year by defeating the action of the street car company and the fire department. As franchise commissioner, he was adviser to the Council on all matters, of public improvements, and his fight against the East Ohio Gas Co. is too well known to need comment here. Mr. Marshall has been a faithful, industrious and courageous Councilman, serving on most of the important committees. From his first day in the Council he has taken the lead by virtue of his knowledge and experience, and his record has been a credit to himself and an asset to the public welfare. He is one of the few candidates in the fourth district who are really qualified to cope with the new problems arising under Cleveland's new form of government. The editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazetto advises all of our people, who are interested in good government, to help return this man who is fit and who deserves re-election to the City Council—Adv.

He Was one of our leading business men of that section of the country and his pass- ing out is a distinct loss to the race. Mrs. Mary Burnett Talbert of But- talo, and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C., both graduates of Oberlin College, have for years been our two outstanding figures among the women of the race. Mrs, Talbert died, recently. We shall have more to say of this wonderful woman in our = issue. President Coolidge and the Goy- ernors were so engrossed, recently, in a consideration of the 18th amendment to the U. S. Constitution that they forgot the far more im- portant “wholesale” nullifying of the 13th and 14th amendments to the fundamental law of the land by about a dozen states in the Union. How come, Mr. President? Sat STRIKE BACK! Fred D. McCracken, prominent realtor of St. Paul, Minn., was re- cently refused service in a leading department store in that city and “our people there have boycotted the establishment in reprisal. Here is ‘an object lesson for Cleveland Afro- Americans who have a similar griev- ance against the Wm. Taylor, Sons & Co. store in Buclid Ave., and as yet have taken absolutely no action whatever of consequence. Altho the person refused here was and is ‘till the president of the local branch of the N.

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 constitu- tion (and its amendments are part of the U. S, constitution) would pre- vent 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 rematn- ed in the state constitution and th: effort, some years ago to cleminate it, defeated. ‘The second amendment to be voted on at the coming elec- tion will be H. J. R., No. 5, provid- ing 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 Olio Afro-Americans show = 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 nex: election and for this amendment to the state constitution of Ohio. The time is short; therefore, wo trus. chat every one, who realizes the im: portance of the elimination of the sbjectionable words, will constitute chemselves a committee of one to dc all in their power to bring about th greatly desired result.

No truth in the statement. It does say. however, and very truthfully, too, that Tom has a negative record in the council and that he s opposed by a large portion of the better ele- ment in bis ward; also that in its opinion he will be of little service in the new counell, if elected. Of course he will not be elected any more than he was two years ago when he was counted in after 2600 ‘ward 11 votes had disappeared somewhere between the ward and the board of elections. Over 8,000 votes were cast in the ward, two years ago, and yet the board an- nounced that only 5400 votes were counted by It.

They are Mrs. Bessie Fer- guson of 2205 E. 14th St., and Gene- vieve Wallace, age 24, of 2534 E. 14th St. County Prosecutor Stanton declared, after these killings, that “murders in the Central-Scovill- Woodland’ Ave. district must stop,” and that he intended to make every effort to send guilty parties to the electric chair. — Cleveland Daily Times, Oct. 12, ‘23. Since this sort of thing has been going on for the past five or six years and is a very common thing in that district, it is about time for Prosecutor Stanton and others to wake up. The greatest crying need of the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district i better police protéction and has been for at least five years, and we cannot understand the mayor's continued refusal to give it Maybe it is because our ministers and churches in the district refuse to demand it. Last Saturday, two drug addicts were sentenced to Warrensville by Judge Greene and a third man, ar- rested with them, was held by fed- eral narcotic agents on a charge of selling to them. The trio had com- pleted a deal at E. 33rd St. and Scovill Ave., in which a large quan- tity of morphine exchanged hands, Narcotic Agent Jos. Murphy charged. Wm. Adams, 2117 Central Ave., held in connection with the sale, pre- viously had sold to government in- formers, it was alleged. Tho wards 11 and 12 seem to the entire com- munity to be the “dope,” “hooch,” erime and immoral center of the city, Councilman Thomas W. Flem- ing has never shown the least in- terest in the really terrible condi- tions existing in the Central-Scovill- Woodland Ave. district but, on the contrary, OPPOSED the efforts, two years. ago, of the good people of ward 11 to get rid of the miserable “Starlight"-Fleming political control that not only permitted the sad con- ditions to exist but apparently en« couraged them to continue and mul- tiply. On Tuesday, the people will have another chance to get rid of Thomas W. Fleming as council- man and will undoubtedly take ad- vantage of it. It won't be so easy, this time, owing to the greatly in- creased size of the voting terior, to COUNT that individual in. Two years ago, the contests were waged in WARDS 11 and 12.

He is a member of the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People, and his at- titude towards us as a group has been such as to commend him to all of our people, who feel that, as citizens, they have a right to expect such justice and equality before the law as other citizens, without re- gard to race, color or previous con- dition.

One of the oldest, best and most fayorably known jurists, practicing at the local bar, 1s 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 anti- lynching Dill, now Ohio's famous Anti-Lynching law, the basis of about all such bills considered and passed in the various state legisia- tures of tle country since, and of which the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill is also a copy. As the first judge of the juvenile court he established a record for fairness to all without 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 elect- ed and our people must do their clear duty by voting for him to a man. ‘Tell your friends to do so also.—Adv. INTERESTING STATEMENT! Of the Campaign Committee of the Cleveland Bar Association, Wil- Bam 3B. Woods, Chairman. The members of the Cleveland Bar Association sometime ago de- cided to carry on a campaign this fall on behalf of candidates for judges of the municipal court, whom the lawyers think are well qualified. Wm. B. Woods, chairman of the eampaign committee of the Cleve- land Bar Association, announced that the Bar Association is doing this because the members feel they owe a duty to the people to advise them of the qualifications of can- didates for the judiciary. ‘There are 44 candidates for the nine terms to be filled in the munt- cipal court on Nov. 6th. Lawyers know these candidates better than anybody else. The Bar Association in passing on them, adopted the democratic wethod of giving every member of the association, 1,250 of them, an opportunity to express his or her opinion as to the fitness for office of the 59 lawyers who sought the approval of the association in a referendum which was conducted. 1,030 lawyers voted and the nine who received the highest number of yotes are recommended by the as- sociation: For the six-year term: ‘Thomas E, Greene, Wm.

Officers of the Company-What the Yarmouth Cost and Was Really Worth-Had a Million Dollar Cargo Garvey a Great Organizer, Says Captain Hugh Mulzac 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 Toblas, 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 organized and the founder of the greater 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. Greens, 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 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 in my arrival, I bought five blacks. 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 I thought Mr. Garvey, recognizing his shipping business, would eventually 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 as chief officer as she was lying at the station of the status of Bibern laden with whiskey, 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- (Forwarded by the Universal Service Bureau. Article 2) Jee Bureau. Article 2) Immorce. Moved on the Yarmouth Marina in Havana we were greeted by thousands of Negroes and boats of all descriptions laden with spectators hovered around the ship. I had refused 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 in the stream for two weeks before 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 place nearly daily. 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 ship losing the thirty days. The ship to lose the thirty days. The Yarmouth lost $500 a day for that. If a demurrage clause is entered in the charter party, it provides that three days after the ship has arrived and 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. We had to pay the high and the 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 that they were willing to give concessions, 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 though they were not 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 gers, numbering thirty-five, was pitiful. They had to sleep in cold, wet, fithy 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 and make the ship as seaworthy as possible. Capacity was master in charge at that time and I was concerned concerning the conditions. He told me that he did not intend to make the trip for Mr. Garvey and that Mr. Smith Green had drawn up the most ridiculous contract he had ever seen. Therefore, he had refused to take the ship out of New York. The cargo oil tank was charred by the 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 updied a contract for $100,000 to the captain. That amount would be the cargo to be enough to pay the expenses of the ship to its cargo and to be put in bond in Cuba. For these reasons, Captain Cockburn refused to sail. There upon, the owners of the cargo shifted to the ship out. He accepted the ship in the warmer than the whisky 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 be thrown overboard, so the船 had to return to New York. The Yarmouth was built in 1885 in Scotland at the time but her condition at the time was purchased by the Black Star Line was very poor. Her boiler crowns were entirely gone and had to be patched up at every port. Her hull was practically worn out and her passenger accommodations were "fierce." She was used for hauling coal during the war and was not in any shape for carrying passengers. Her hull was at about $25,000, but I learned 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 3, 1920. in every port. Our chief engineer, 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 ship coaled and provisioned, we were ordered to Colon. There were only a few passages, and 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 Bocas Del Foro, where we were located in Panama), where we loaded 100 tons of coconuts. Thence to Port Simon (Republic of Costa Rica). We had been ordered to these ports as propaganda and the U. N. I. A, gained thousands of new members as a result. The prospect of trade was very good. We then sailed to Santiago, Cuba, where we landed our immigrants and sailed for Jamaica again. On our arrival there, we arranged for a load of coconuts, coaled the ship, had the boilers repaired and started to load the coconuts when a received it. 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 Boston as it was just after the war and the British government still had its war restrictions in effect. Therefore the captain decided to move where little more provisions were needed. Nassau and made for the gulf stream, but when off Cape Hatteras, we found we would be enough coal (or provisions) to reach Boston as the ship was burning twenty-five tons of coal daily on account of leaky boilers. We then decided to call at Norfolk, Va., to coal and provision. On our arrival, we had orders from Mr. Garvey, proceed to Philadelphia, where we would board, assigned to New York, and they were perishable. However, we had to obey orders and proceed to Philadelphia. After carrying thru THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOV. 3, 1925.

N. I. A. there, we were again ordered to Boston. After staying there two days, we were on New York where we discharged the New York partly rotten. Finally, the owners of the coconuts filed 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. We were paid for this charter but the freight that time was $22 a ton from New York to Havana, for that kind of a 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 coal and our provisions, neither of which had had there at that time. Therefore, before we arrived, and with our few passengers, New York to Jamiea on board, I advised the captain to leave immediately 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 Saranina Banks, 300 miles south of Saranina and anchored a ship to salvage her. In 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 cargo, freight valued from three to 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 measurement as an ordinary cargo. He 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.

How she ever passed the steamboat inspectors, I do not know, but I do know people took desperate chances of the boat to sail in her. At no time did the boat cost 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 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 unearthy and almost worthless boats. Now about "the mystery ship," or the *promised boat, the Phyllis Wheatley. There never was any The Old Relief Our Copy of The maintenance who In my next article, I will write about the Kanaya and Shadyside, the Black Star Line's other two boats.

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 line her boiler tank was the Black Star Line her boiler tanks 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 no cargo space and could only accommodate thirty-five 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), but further than the Jersey coast 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 and Central America in his yacht, the Kanawha. He therupon contracted with the Morse dry船 for $25,000, 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船 Co. from $25,000 to $45,000. When the Dry船 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, Left To Sink! Was Worse Than when Purchased Allis Wheatley, "the Mystery on the Orion, Former isson for Our People. 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 stockholder in The Black Star Co., it made my heart ache to note the waste of money sunk in the Yarmouth, Kanawha and Shadyside. After President Marcus Garvey called for the West Indies, Vice Pres. O. M. Thompson, general manager of The Black Star Line Co. started the purchase of an ex-German ship, named the Orion, and still owned by the U. S. 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 able" to incr THE GAZE to Might Subs 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 ship got outside of New York harbor, she broke down and had to return for repairs. After putting in some more tubes in her boilers, she sailed again. This time she reached Norfolk, Va. Then limped to 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 sold before she was lucky to get there at all. After some extensive repairs in Havana, she managed to get to Santiago, Cuba, and from there to Kingston, Jamaica, but crippled for fair. They tried to make it work, but it didn't make it. However, after Mr. Garvey paid $10,000 more on her in Jamaica she succeeded in reaching Antilla, Cuba where she is still lying at anchor, if the Cuban government has not sold her for harbor dues. 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. I have shown how very expensive and unscaworthy is the boat, Yarmouth; in article 1. In this article 2. I have covered the expensive and unscaworthy parts 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 Whotheat, and explain the status of the Orion deal which never went thru. Chief Officer Hugh Mulzac, an expensive boat, too. It was indeed fortunate that the Orion was not delivered to The Black Star Line Co. for she would surely have been another "white elephant" on its hands. She would have come to the aid of many more thousands of dollars of poor people's money which had been literally "thrown into the sea." Only the 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 Orion. I had been appointed captain of the "Phyllis" ship, and I was on the ship, Orion, 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 everything to the person of practical experience to assist in managing the business. Here is a lesson for our people, generally, that should not be lost. VOTE FOR DISSETTE!

Hyre, 1969 E. $2rd St., Cleveland, Ohio, is a candidate for the municipal bench, 6-year term. Mr. Hyre was born in Cleveland thirty-four years ago. He attended the Dennison Grammar school, Lincoln High school, Adelbert College of Western Reserve University, and the Cleveland Law School, from all of which he graduated. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1914, and has been practicing continuously ever since with his brother, Rexford C. Hyre, under the firm name of Hyre & Hyre. Raymond F. Hyre is the son of the late A. E. Hyre, who for fifteen years was the secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Industry. His mother is Sarah E. Hyre, who for the past twenty years has been con- In 1917, Mr. Hyre attended the first officer's training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, and was commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry. He was assigned to the 332nd infantry, which served in Italy and was with his regiment until after the aristocracy, when he was made United States claims officer for Italy. Mr. Hyre lived on the West Side until three years ago when he married. Since that time he has lived at 1969 E. 82nd St. Mr. Hyre is endorsed by the Citizen's League, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cleveland Times, The Dry Maintenance League and many others, including the following individuals: Clarence J. Neal, president, the Neal Fireproof Storage Co.; Rev. Dan F. Bradley, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church; John H. Cox, the Cleveland Railway Co.; Manning F. Fisher, president, the Fisher Bros.

Kepham, president, the Ohio Builk Co.; Dr. C. H. Mac Farland, former county commander, the American legion, and city councilman from the 15th ward. Mr. Hyre's reputation, as well as that of his entire family, is one which insures consideration for all people, regardless of race, color or creed. He has a high reputation among the lawyers of Cleveland. The citizens of Cleveland and especially our voters will make no mistake in casting their vote for Raymond E. Hyre for judge for the six-year term.—Adv. (No better people ever lived in Cleveland than Raymond E. Hyre's parents, friends of the race. Mr. Hyre is competent, deserving. Vote for him.—Editor.)

Rev. Robert L.

M. at Zion Hill Baptist church, E. 37th St., between Scovill and Woodland Ave's, but the meeting has been postponed. Dr. Wm. P.

Lung, heart, stomach, bowel, bone and head diseases are easily diagnosed with the X-Ray. A nurse and lady attendant assist Dr. Saunders. The recent death of Mr. Harry W. Gaines, of E. 87th St., was such a shock to his hosts of friends in the community that many even yet can hardly believe it. The widow has the heartfelt sympathy of all. Mr. Mrs. Gaines old resident and during the long illness of his good wife who is an invalid showed that he was "a man among men." Mr. and Mrs. Gaines have been regular readers of The Gazette for more than twenty years. Rev. H. M. Kingsley spoke at Mt. Zion Cong. Church, Sunday morning, giving "Impressions of the National Council at Springfield, Mass.", reviewing the nationwide activities of the Congregational Church, especially among our people.

Judge of the Municipal Court, Six Year Old Has Shown Real Friendship When it comes to passing Attorney Cletos J. Agnew, the members of our community, it is much like trying to paint the red rose a red redder hue, and to the best of the writer's knowledge Mr. Agnew stands among the best known lawyers among this section's list. Mr. Agnew is acquainted with the leading business men of this district and has worked incessantly for the law and has earned every person who claims a residence in the city. He has been identified with a number of business ventures among which is the Anchor Life and Hope Aid Insurance Companies, of which he is general corporation counsel. Mr. Agnew has campaigned in this district for the Davis and Fitzgerald administrations and has always been a stanchion supporter of the Republican policies. As a lawyer he always found and has fought for our people and has fought for them at all times, securing justice for some unfortunate citizens who were penniless and unable to secure the services of competent legal help. The time has come when the voters of this district must scrutinize the list of candidates who are up for election, and after making sure of the policies of each candidate to rename the candidates, he has five vacancies to be filled in the six-year term and we feel that Lawyer Agnew, who has always been on the side of our people, and who has refused the endorsement of all and every association that stands against our people, should be placed in a position where he will be enabled to see that justice is done regardless of color, religion, language or creed. Remember to vote Nov. 6th and to make your vote a priority. Adv. (The editor of The Gazette commends Mr. Agnew in the strongest possible manner to our voters.—Editor.) PETER B. ATTY. ANDREW M. KOVACH Attorney Kovach is a candidate for a four-year term municipal judge-ship. Mr. Kovach has been a resi- tionist for more than twenty-five years, and received his education here and at Baldwin-Wallace university. He spent three years as clerk of the Cleveland House of Correction, which brought him in contact with people of all kinds, and served three years as probation officer for Judge Addams. All, who had dealings with Mr. Kovach, will remember that he treated them courteously and without partiality. He was admitted to practice law in 1913 and has been very successful. Mr. Kovach is a man of broad vision and a keen sense of fairness. He is absolutely impervious to prejudice and discrimination. He is of foreign extraction, and can not possibly be a member of organized, im- bined, or immigrant birth classes, Jewes, and Afro-Americans. Your confidence will not be misplaced by giving him your vote when you go to the polls on Nov. 6, 1923. Remember Attorney M. Kovach, candidate for municipal judge, four-year term.—Adv. --- Lafayette Massy, son of a former secretary of state of the Liberian republic, visited the federal immigration inspector, Tuesday, to get passports back to his native land in Africa. Massy said his grandfather was a liberated slave who fought on the Union side during the Civil war. His father, born in this country, left for Liberia shortly after that republic was founded and became secretary of state. The son, who is 22 and has been living at 3804 Central Ave., left Liberia two years ago to "see the world." He has been working here as a "bus boy" in a restaurant. MRS. GREEN MUST BE RE-ELECTED! 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 helped 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 M. 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 schoolhouses 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 acquaintably 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. [Name] ALEXANDER H. MARTIN, ESO. Attorney A. H. Martin is making a winning race 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 state, a lawyer, a judge, and a minister 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 8 E 40th Street; age 50; university and legal (W. R. U. law school) training; admitted to bar 1837 practicing alone; a man and lawyer of the law; and ability; in our opinion he is well equipped for judicial service. QUAUAIED."—Adv.
