A family bible, wherein, it is claimed, is written the day and date of the birth of Daniel W. Pulliam, 2365 E. 34th St., self-confession author of eight robberies, six of them in one night, contains the means for swaying a judge's decision and saving Pulliam nine years of a prison sentence.

Coatney received a ten-year penitentiary sentence. Pulliam, who claims he is but nineteen and, therefore, eligible for sentence only to one year in the reformatory, will be saved a similar sentence if he can produce a family bible, which, he says, contains his birth record. Dr. Frank Johnson Dead. Cincinnati, O.—Dr. Frank Johnson, prominent local physician, died here, Nov. 10. '23. He had practiced here for 34 years, was a member of the medical board of the City hospital, and a member of the board of trustees of the Combined (State) N. & I. Department of Wilberforce university. He was prominent in fraternal circles, with a high ranking in the K. of P. THE CALHOUN RECITAL. "Musical Portraits" by Blind Tom Delighted Most in Fine Audience—A Really High-Class Recital. The piano recital. Monday evening, at Cory M. E. church, given by Prof. W. A. Calhoun of New York City, under the auspices of the Playhouse Settlement Benefit club, was an unusually pleasing and satisfactory as well as successful event of the year. The officers of the club are: Helen A. Howard, press; Grace W. Brown, pub. mgr.; Ruth B. Hayes, sec-trans. These ladies and their assistants certainly have every reason to feel proud of their musicle, for it really was an out-of-the-ordinary affair. Prof. Calhoun, a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, a concert soloist of national reputation, and a teacher of piano, with studio in N. Y. City, for years, rendered selections by Chippew, Beckhoven, Paderewskie Kauff, Dett, A. Rabinstein and Blunt Tom in a manner that easily stamped him the artist he has been for many years. All of his beautiful classical selections pleased greatly, several of them being given splendid moores. But it remained for his piano and organ "Musical Portraits" by Blind Tom to "take the house by storm," particularly the solos: "The Storm" and "The Battle of Manassas." These were admirably done, and the writer had the great privilege, many years ago, of hearing Tom play both of them and the retore "knows where he of speaks." Fred-rick I. Harkley's tenor-solos accompanied by Maybelle L. Clark, Mr. Ford's cornet tenor, and Miss Sophia Baldry's reader of "The Chamion Some" from Hal Caina's "The Christian," mainly and splendidly the high standard by Prof. Calhoun's remarkable playing. The large auditorium of the church was filled by as intelligent and enthusiastic an audience as any concert participant could possibly wish for and everybody was more than pleased. At the conclusion of the recital, a half hour's reception was held that enabled many persons to guest Prof. Calhoun who lott at 11:30 P. M. for home. "CRACKERS" ON THE RAMPAGE Thomas Demands Action From the District Attorney—A Mob Washington, D. C. & Neval H. Thomas has addressed letters to the district attorney, the district commissioners and the citizens of Bloomingdale on the lawlessness of the recent riot there, and demanding police protection, and vigorous prosecution of the guilty ones by the district attorney. As yet not a single arrest has been made. Prof. Thomas wrote: "The responsible parties are known to your office, and they are guilty of inciting riot. Why then are they not under indictment and on their way to the penitentiary? If the situation were reversed, you would not have jails enough in this capital to hold the Colored people, innocent or guilty, who would be seen within a mile of the disgraceful scene." The cause of the protests followed the march of a white mob in Bloomingdale to the homes of three of our families to force them to move! The families are determined to stay, and our people of the entire city are with them. HAITIANS AND AFRO-AMERICANS Afro-Americans can find in Haiti a country close at hand with an at-tractive civilization different from their own. And, if they will take the trouble to show their sympathy with Haitians, they may discover a field for the expansion of our rapidly-growing business in this country. In insurance, for instance, Haiti offers an almost-virgin field. Transportation is, still in a rather cyned state. And though the country is primarily agricultural, agriculture and its allied interests are in an almost primitive condition. Almost any improvement in agricultural production, which the practically trained Afro-American could make, would be welcomed. Find One Thousand Dollars. A Real Building & Loan Association. Hampton, Va.—Our people here have conducted, for nearly 35 years, a building and loan association, which has handled in receipts $1,173,723.19; made loans amounting to $850,355.94; earned in dividends $310,579.63; and made 1835 real-estate loans. It's principal officers do not, "dabble in politics" but are "on the job" every day. The result is seen in the foregoing figures. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Arkansas Riot Cases End—The N. E. R. League Asks the Race to Honor the Martyred Dead Soldiers, Who Were Officially Murdered by a Prejudiced Democratic Administration in 1917. New York City.—The last of our farmers, sentenced to death in connection with the riot of 1919, in Paillips County, Arkansas, will soon be freed. Of the twelve men sentenced to death, six were released by order of the Arkansas Supreme court. The other six had their sentences reversed by the U. S. Supreme court, to which their cases were carried after three years of litigation. Secretary d. Weson Johnson tion. In lieu of retrying these men, the Arkansas authorities offered a postpromise of conviction of second degree murder, with 12-year sentence, which leaves the men eligible for parole, this year, as they have already served one-third of their term. This compromise was accepted by the attorney for the N. A. A. C. P. and Gov. Thos. C. MacRae has commuted the sentences. It is further announced that 59 of the 67 of our farmers sentenced to life, and long term imprisonment have been freed. It is expected that the remaining 8 men, for whom writs of habeas corpus have been applied, will soon be released. In connection with this announcement, Secretary James Weldon Johnson has issued the following statement: "The wild statements of a plotted insurrection by Negro farmers of Arkansas, have now been disproved by four years of court action. The rumors, spread throughout the nation by the press, that Negroes were organized to massacre whites, are shown to have been without foundation. It should be remembered that although 12 Negroes, were sentenced to death, and 67 to long terms of Dr. Scott Wood Appointed Pittsburg, Pa.—Rev. Scott Wood, recently vicar in charge of St. Luke's P. E. Mission, New York City, has been named by state authorities as chaplain and financial agent of the Downington, Pa., A. and I. school, which was recently taken over by the state educational authorities. ( IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEN) FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who, resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve a court apt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA rtyrs! From Death! Selve Soon To Be rated. The N. E. R.

All of the Negroes will soon have been released, we hope and expect. That is the best answer to the kind of law and order indulged in by the white people of Arkansas." Boston, Mass.—Thirteen soldier martyrts of the 24th U. S. Infantry were ushered into eternity six years ago, at Fort Bliss, Texas, Dec. 11th, 1923, with the bravest of hearts and like warriors bold. The death traps were sprung by their caucasian comrades; and without it tremor they hung, suspended until announced as "officially dead" by an ungrateful military authority backed up by a prejudiced Democratic administration. Each life as it went forth into the great beyond was a personification of the rarest bravery; like on press parade and on the battlefield, Wm. Monroe Trotter a courage unparelled in the annals of history of the U. S. military service. This day, Dec. 11th, altho a day of sadness, should also be set apart as a happy reminder that soldiers who loved their race and country were willing to die martyrs for a cause, that was and is now sapping the vitals of the nation where exasperating, prejudicial racial animosities are destroying the fabric of our national honor. We must render unto the souls of these thirteen brave martyrs the homage that a thankful race can bestow, as an honor whose martyrdom will never be forgotten. The National Equal Rights League asks all Afro-American Posts, of the Grand Army, of Spanish War Veterans, of American Legion, of Veterans of Foreign Wars, of Army and Navy Union, and all other veteran and patriotic organizations to join in honor to these thirteen soldier martyrs, who were officially murdered by a prejudiced Democratic administration. The league urges all these veteran and patriotic organizations, all our churches, all our civic, literary and political societies, also branch Equal Rights Leagues and Citizens or Equal Rights Committees, acting separately or jointly in every community, to hold mass meetings in honor of these soldier martyrs on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1923. At these memorial meetings let resolves be passed urging President - Calvin Coolidge to grant clemency, pardon or parole, to the fifty or more soldiers now in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., sending them to the national headquarters of the league, 103 Court St., Boston, Mass., forthwith, that they may be taken to the White House all together by special messenger, an Afro-American war veteran.

SATURDAY, NOV. 24, 1923 "The Colored brother" in New York City (in the Harlem district, too, known as the center of our population there), in Maryland, Kentucky, Pittsburg and other cities and states is said to have supported Democratic candidates "by the thousands" at the recent election! Whither are we drifting? --- President Coolidge and Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, Washington, D. C., have not placed our U. S. Veterans Hospital, at Tuskegee, Ala., in charge of a member of the race, although of its personnel is Afro-American. The late President Warren G. Harding promised this and we expect his successor to see that it is done because it is the right thing to do. --- What hurts "Johnny Bull" more than anything else is the fact that an Englishman is not the leading world figure, these days. Ex-President Polincare, premier of France, is a thorn in their flesh that ranks and rankles and rankles! And Polincare is clearly within his rights (those of his country). Even the English's use of the American press does not sway him in the least. More power to him! It would be interesting to read the minds of Democrats after they had read the torrent of invective which former President Thomas Woodrow Wilson saw fit to pour out upon the country on the eve of armistice day. Whether they like it or not, Mr. Wilson is their party leader. He was the last Democratic President, and the man who was the active party candidate in 1920 was only an echo of Wilson, and gave his unqualified endorsement to all the policies of Wilsonism. Not a single one of all the candidates who are now in the field for the Democratic Presidential nomination but was and is an active supporter of the Wilson doctrines. No matter which one of them is nominated he will have to tell the people whether or not he thinks they have been "sullen" "cowardly", and "contemptible". He will be faced with the alternative of repudiating that language, or the man who uttered it. ANOTHER LIFE SACRIFICED! John Fairfax, age 19, was shot to death, Saturday night, at Central Ave, and E. 33rd St. Only another victim of the terribly low moral or rather immoral condition of affairs that exists in ward 11, and has existed there for the past six or eight years. This ward is and has been "represented" in City Council for that term of years by the only Negro councilman, Thos. W. Flening! Lord, have mercy! Until our ministers and churches in that section of the city make some effort to get it the police protection it is in such sore need of, we may expect the usual from one to three murders, nearly every Saturday night. This has been the case for so long a time that the good people in that section are becoming desperate again. From 11 p. m. until about 2:30 a. m., especially Saturday and Sunday nights (when most needed), ward 11 seems to be entirely without police protection. Will anything move our ministers and churches in the two wards to action? This latest and most brutal murder certainly ought to. We hope so, anyhow. THE PLAIN TRUTH. Through the columns of a prominent Democratic paper there comes one of the most forceful refutations of the oft-repeated assertion that the United States went into the war inspired by altruistic purposes. President Wilson said a number of times that we went into the conflict "to make the world safe for democracy." In his Armistice Day speech this year he used the expression "high levels of vision" in speaking of our motives and pleaded for a return "to the role of courage, self-respect and helpfulness." In all his addresses since we entered the war, he has tried to convey the impression that we went in to help the rest of the world and not merely to defend ourselves. The insistence upon a return to courage and self-respect is practically an assertion that we once exercised these qualities in a manner that we now refuse to maintain. The fact of the matter is that the war began in August, 1914, and the United States did not enter until April, 1917. During that time there were numerous infractions of the international rights of the United States. We watched the Allies going to destruction without raising an arm to protect them; and suffered ignominy without effective protest. In November, 1916, Wilson was e-elected after a campaign in which the chief slogan of the Wilsonites was that he "kept us out of war." Where were courage and self-respect and helpfulness then? But, to return to the Democratic paper above mentioned, let us quote the following from the Houston (Tex) Post: "It seems to The Post that much greater progress would be made in determining the part of the United States in European rehabilitation if frank and intelligent discussion could be substituted at all times for unwarranted sentimentality. There is need of discussion based upon plain facts and actual situations. In his speech at Navarin Farm, in the Champagne, Sunday, Ambassador to the United States indicated that the entry of the United States in the war prompted by idealism and sentiment for France." This declaration has been repeated so often in the United States and in Europe, that some people actually believe it. The record is entirely against this view. The United States entered the war because Germany notified this Government that her ruthless submarine warfare would be resumed and that her former agreement to modify it would be terminated. The war had been without stirring the national army greatly. It had been in progress over two years when the campaign slogan, "He kept us out of the war," re-elected President Wilson by a narrow margin. We had passed through the Lusitania horror and other manifestations of German aggression without retaliation. The submarine agreement between the United States and Germany followed an ulterior, when that agreement fell, there was a pursuit but to fight. It would be best, therefore, to base the future of con relations with Europe upon the fact that the United States entered the war in self-defense and because Germany disregarded our Government's rights as a neutral. The record admits of no other view." CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Battling Siki Loses to Kid Norfolk New York City. — Kid Norfolk, the classy Afro-American pugilist, in a bout with Champion Jack Dempierre two years ago, made the latter look more champion than Luis Firpo did when he joined Jack. In their recent fight, into the laps of newspaper men outside of the ring, won from Battling Sibb light heavyweight champion of the world, in a fifteen-round bout here. Tuesday night, before a crowd of more than 12,000. It was a real battle, too, but Norfolk took every one of the rounds. There never was any doubt, either, of the Kid's superiority. The courage of the champion of the tournament of Francesc's premier "pug." was never better illustrated than in the last round when he unleashed a furious reckless assault in one final, dying effort to swing the victory. Crowd Goes Wilg. Lashing out with terrific rights and lefts without regard of the consequences of leaving himself open to attack, the desperate Senegulese drove his rival to the ropes and had the crowd in an uproar. One solid left hook to the law jaws stung and he backed to the ropes, while the crowd [Hoyal (?) Americans] was in a turmoil urging Ski on. But Norfolk quickly recovered himself and evaded all of Ski's attempts to follow the advantage with another effective punch. In the natural course of events Ski punched the weary of mind and body. From the effects of the hammering he had received earlier and this dash in the pan, which was a desperate closing round rally, only emphasized the weakened condition of the Frenchman from Senegal. Norfolk cool and collected after the storm returned to the business of jabbing.

Skii was given a license to box, in this state, by the athletic commission, Tuesday, before the bout. For the athletic commission of Paris, France, a judge asked Skii's battle with Mike McTigue, in Ireland, was NOT a championship contest. That is why Skii is still light heavyweight champion of the world. His bout, Tuesday night, with Norfolk was not a championship bout, either. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty.—Proy. 20:13. THE MAN WHO DARES "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 may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's poor health Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. * * * * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Gifard. 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 in 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 away."

According to Police Sergeant Charles Snyder of the first precinct flying sound, the fight was a result of a grudge of long standing between the escaped slayer and the man under arrest.

On the Fleming rec the third Dup of four numbers, than was a years ago, 2600 votes, ward 11 is third district was opposed and colored Councilman Thomas W. Fleming lacked forty-eight votes of enough to make up the quota necessary to secure his re-election. These were given him from Councilman Herman Finkle's "surplus." This was permissible under the new plan of voting. On the face of the returns, Fleming received only 915 votes in the first district, which he take up of four or five wards. In round numbers, this is only 500 more votes than was allowed the writer, two years ago, in ward 11 alone, after 2600 votes had disappeared. And ward 11 is one of the wards in the third district of this city. Fleming was opposed by the ministers, white and colored, and by the great mass of the good people of the district, just as he was two years ago in ward 11, and his "vote" at the recent election is proof of the fact that he was not wanted, two years ago, as councilman of ward 11 and is not wanted by the third district in the City Council. Fleming was on the "Republican organization's slate." This accounts for his "re-election." New York City elected an Afro-American alderman and member of the Legislature. Both Democrats. All of our several (Republican) candidates for judgeships in Cleveland and Chicago were defeated. They, too, would have been elected if our people would only register and vote like they should and will be long, May of our people, whom to the North in the last five or six years, are very slow in realizing the importance of voting, not having been accustomed to exercising the franchise.

Compared with such men the proverbial nine-lived cat is nowhere. But as one reads the stories of great wars of the past the manner in which famous generals have played touch-and-go with death is little short of miraculous. The wonderful escapes of Napoleon and Wellington were proverbial. Though bullets grazed them and riddled their clothes, and both had their horses shot under them, yet both passed through a life of battle and danger with two or three slight hurts aplace. But their grim old companion-in-arms, General Blucher, did not fare so well. Wounded several times while serving under Frederick the Great, he retired from the army when that irascible monarch swore at him. In response, however, to the patriotic call he took up arms against Napoleon and was seriously wounded at Lutzen. At Ligny, too, he was thrown down and ridden over by the French and Prussian cavalry; but by drinking quantities of his favorite gin and water the old war dog was able to lead GLO Wee JA FRISCO CALL: "T FRISCO EXAMNE SACRAMENTO BE such internation GREAT FALLS: "T and her jazz hou JACK DEMPSEY: the musical wor Week MATI JAZZ CALL: "Man EXAMNER: MENTO BEE: international FALLS: "Lov her jazz hound EMPSEY: "M musical world.

Lacy Evans, whose ear was perforated by a bullet in the Carlist war of 1837. Garibaldi, too, had many narrow shaves, but none closer than when resting one day at Volturon. While drinking from a pail of water a splinter from a roochet shell grazed his thigh and killed some people near. The number of men who have escaped death through having a Bible, a coin, letters or some other articles in their pockets is legion. During the South African war one man owed his life to the fact that the Queen's chocolate box, which he carried in the breast pocket of his tunic, stopped a well aimed bullet. In another case a man found a bullet embedded in a small book he carried in his pocket and a third owed his escape to cermis silver coins which deflected the mischievous missile.

Lord Roberts was even more fortunate. As he stood on the tower at Lucknow signaling for the British army to advance thousands of shots were fired at him and the flag was shot from his hand. Calmly stooping down, he raised up a regimental color and continued to wave that. His escape on that occasion was little short of a miracle. NEEDLE POINTS HIDE IN BODY Surgeons Often Fail to Find Fugitive Bits of Steel. A needle point in the human body is nearly as hard to find as the preverbal "needle in a haystack." Previously we read of needles having emerged from the arm or foot of a person after having been traveling through the body for years. Surgeons now use X-rays in searching for the slender bits of steel, but even with this aid they are often compelled to give up their efforts as fattle. Fortunately, needle points in the body hardly ever make serious trouble.

Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-sharer, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation Are you RUN-DOWN, WEAK, Tired, EXHAUSTED, WORK- OUT?

Sec. 12341. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any point of compartment jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Euro the Glazer Cleveland, O. My Door Sir. Observing your letter in the Beacon Journal this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for the LAW OF OHO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. Aching. burning feet? MENTHOLATUM quickly relieves and refreshes.
