HER BROWN-SKIN "DADDY" Causes White.Girl to Swallow Poison and Land Very Near Death's Door—Her Pitiful Letter Chicago, Ill.—A bizarre and colorful romance of the South Side's underworld night life took on a tragic aspect. Friday night, when Dorothy Burrell, (white), who describes herself as the wife of Robert "Sug" Burrell, dressed frequented of all-night cabarets, attempted suicide at their room in the Vincennes Hotel and for more than six hours hovered between life and death. When hotel attendants found her unconscious body lying across the bed, beside it was pinned a note, intended to be the girl's farewell to a "cruel world." In the letter, written in a scrawling hand, she addressed her "husband" as "Daddy Sug," and declared that she had given him her all, soul and body, and now that his attentions were growing cold, she had no recourse but death. The Suicide Note "Dear Daddy-Sug: When you get this I will be doad, and you are the cause of it. You know how I loved you and gave up everything for you. You will you all I had. Just because Ive been slick and gave you a little trouble, now you want to leave me for someone else. I guess you'll do her the same way. All you want is a good time and dress up. How could you be such a mean daddy? You know what it meant for me to do with you, yet you treat me as you do. Goodbye, daddy, I'm gone." The girl was found apparently in a dying condition, on the fifth floor after attendants had attempted unsuccessfully to arouse her by ringing the telephone and knocking on the door since noon. Found: Poison A physician was hurriedly summoned who diagnosed the case as one of veronal poisoning. Assisted by a trained nurse, he worked frantically to revive the dying spark of life. From 9 o'clock until dawn the following day, early morning, the girl hovered on the brink of death, while attendants employed every means known to resuscitate her. As she regained consciousness, she meant: "Oh, Sug, how could you do it?" Both Burrell and the girl are familiar figures in the hectic night life of the South Side, and are frequently seen as the central figures in many gay cabaret parties. Burrell's reputation as a good dresser and blase man about town won him many admirers among the class of women, attracted to such a life, and when his love for Dorothy was seen on the wane, she decided to end her life. ___ Tigers Flowers is Victor Fremont, O.-Tiger Flowers, of Atlanta, Ga., won from Jamaica Kid, New York City, in the ten-found main go here, Monday evening.

PINCHBACK Our First U. S. Senator—Served as Lieutenant-Governor and Governor of Louisiana—Interesting Remnis- (Special To The Gazette) *Now Orleans, La.—News of the death of Bismark R. Pinchback, of Washington, D. C., son of the late Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, the only Afro-American who ever served as governor of Louisiana, and our first U. S. Senator, was received here, recently. B. R. Pinchback, ill two years, had been an employee of the auditor's office of the U. S. treasury department for 20 years. The death of the son revives the story of Pinchney Benton Stewart Pinchback, a Georgian, who came to Louisiana during reconstruction days and was elected lieutenant governor. He was an inspector of customs in New Orleans in 1667, later becoming lieutenant-governor (during the administration of Gov. Henry Clay Warmoth). It was in December, 1872, and January, 1873, that Lieutenant-Gov. Pinchback acted as governor, the two months of the Warmth impeachment proceedings. He (Pinchback) later was elected to the U. S. Senate, which the Republican never seated him but paid him the salary for the entire term. He was our first U. S. Senator. Gov. Pinchback died about two years ago and was buried in Metarie cemetery over the protests off prejudiced citizens of New Orleans, and is the only Afro-American buried there. He purchased the plot 20 years before his death. SIDNEY WOODWARD, DEAD. Famed Tenor, Years Ago, Traveled Thruout America and Europe—Born in Georgian. New York City—Sidney J. Woodward, a tenor of international fame, and a noted chorus director, died. recently at his home, here. He was buried from Abyssinian Baptist church amid impressive ceremonies. The death of Mr. Woodward ends a notable career in our musical world. Born in Stockbridge, Ga., he secured an education by working his way thru school. In 1885 he made his first appearance as soloist at Memphis, Tenn., later in 1893 he was presented at Chickering Hall, Boston, where he was heard in a repertoire of song, Beethoven's "Adelepoise," De Koven's, "Oh Promise Me" and others. Harry T. Burleigh and Mr. Woodward often appeared together as oratorio singers. Thus far he had distinguished himself as a soloist of ability and prepared to go to Europe. He toured Europe in 1897 and sang at Buckingham Palace and throughout the United Kingdom, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Mr. Woodward also sang at the World's Fair at Chicago, 1893. He enjoyed the acquaintance of a wide range of notable people in both Europe and America. DOINGS OF THE RACE Included in our 2,40 manufacturers are six women.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SECRET DEALS MAY DO IT Senators Will Confirm Cohen Rather Than Reveal Vote. Hoped To Veil Ballot; Brookhart Is Involved—Voted No To Get Daugherty Inquiry Chairmanship, Is One Report Washington, D. C.—It now looks as if the Hon Walter L. Cohen, the Republican leader of Louisiana, may get be confirmed as controller of customs at New Orleans, despite the fact the Senate recently rejected his nomination for the second time. Senator Shipstead has moved to reconsider the vote which rejected Coley by the narrow margin of 37 to 35, and the papers have been sent back from the White House to the Senate. The mystery and secret deals reported to have featured the secret executive session at which the nomination was rejected, have had the effect of prompting a demand for publicity of the roll-call, and there has been much uneasiness among border state Democrats and certain Republicans, as a consequence. Rather than face a vote on the resolution of Senator Jones of Washington, which calls for making the roll-call public, several senators are understood to prefer reconsidering the vote and confirming the nomination. Secret Deal Rumors Out If the facts concerning the executive session could have, been kept from the public and especially from our prospective voters in the coming campaign, the matter of rejecting the nomination would have been regarded as finished business, but Senators Moses and Jones of Washington began pressing for publicity as to the vote, and the secrets of the executive session began to leak out. It is reported, for example, that Senator Brookhart agreed to line up with southern Democrats against confirmation if they in turn would give him support for the chairmanship of the Daugherty investigating committee. It has been noted that Senator Wheeler, in proposing his resolution to investigate Mr. Daugherty, specifies Mr. Brookhart shall be chairman of the committee. The fact that Senator Shiphead has moved for reconsideration of the vote means that this senator voted with the majority, or against confirmation, when the nomination was up in executive session, it is said. Certain Democratic senators from border states also are understood to have voted against confirmation, on the theory the vote would be kept secret. They are said to have relied WINNING A PLACE. In Northern Industry Says a Leading Manufacturer, an Officer of The Cleveland Hardware Co. "The Negro is succeeding in northern industry. If the South hopes to hold him on the farms, the southern white man must realize that he has an important problem to solve in providing better conditions and better treatment," E. E. Adams, vice president of the Cleveland Hardware Co., declared at the annual meeting of the "Negro" Welfare league, in Sterling, branch library, last week. Thursday afternoon. In an experience of many years with our workers in the factory, Mr. Adams said he had found that they could produce as rapidly, remained as steadily in the jobs and in general were equal to white workers. "The problem of assimilating the Negro into industry is not so great as, assimilating certain European races. Negroes coming north now are most city dwellers," he said. "Industrial agents are picking their men. The greater part of the continuing migration is a result of letters which are written back by friends who are already in the north." Mr. Adams said in one of his plants were 412 Afro-American employees and 557 whites, and said the competition was friendly. The annual report of Wm. Conners, executive secretary of the "Nerros" Welfare league, showed 2,051 men had been placed in jobs. Applying for jobs were 5,527, of whom 2,011 had been in Cleveland less than a month. Officers elected were Dr. O. A. Taylor, president; W. T. Anderson, vice pres.; R. J. Frackleton, treas., and Rev. W. B. Suthern, sec. All were re-elected except Mr. Suthern, who succeeds Mrs. Hazel M. Walker. Pittsburgh, Pa. Notes Bostick Chapel Baptist church, at 49th and Butler Sts., Rev. Elijah A. Bostick, B.

Presidential Hopes Enter Senator La Follette, who voted against confirmation, last year, voted this time: for confirmation, and reports are that his aspirations for presidential nomination may have influenced his present position. Senator Copeland, who is credited with presidential aspirations, is said to have been absent at the roll call. The question of whether the absence of Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, caused the nomination to lose a vote also has been discussed. The senator from Massachusetts has said that he gave notice he wanted to be recorded as voting in the affirmative. but so far as known he was not present or paired on the vote. COHEN TQ HANG ON As He Has For Months, Without Pay, Because Renegade and Prejudiced Republican U. S. Senators Vote Against Him With the Democrate Washington, D. C.—Walter L. Cohen, Afro-American Republican leader of Louisiana, will be continued in office as comptroller of customers at New Orleans, despite the recent senate rejection of his nomination. Agreement was reached at a recent conference here between the president, Chairman Adams, Cohen and other leaders that no other nomination for the comptrollership would be sent to the senate during the present session of congress. Such a course will permit Cohen to remain as comptroller; although he will serve without pay, as he has since he was given a recess appointment by President Harding last May. Upon adjournment of congress it is understood that he will be given a recess appointment under which he would be permitted to serve until congress convenes, next fall. He is an attorney and a man of wealth; president of an insurance company which has 15 branches in Louisiana. Cohen is also a* the head of a chain of drug stores as well as holding an interest in an amusement park.

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924. Our voters of Madison and St. Clair Counties, Ilinois, are to place full county tickets in the field, this fall. The Republicans of their coun- ties have not treated them fairly. Good! Strike back, brothers, and help to defeat them! That is the only way to teach them the much- needed lesson. —w»— Our voters of New York City, Bal- timore, Chicago and several cities of Ohio and other northern states were wise when they did the good work helping to defeat renegade and pre- fudiced Republican candidates. Whether the latter are U. 8, Sena- tors, Representatives, or lesser po- litieal “lights” makes no difference. ‘An enemy is an enemey. And if they are not friends, who will stand out in the open for ms, they are ‘enemies. i GREAT WATERWAY PROJECT ‘The Canadian government has in- dicated its willingness to co-operate with the United States In investi- gating the feasibility of improving the St. Lawrence River ¢o as to make possible deepwater navigation be- tween Montreal and the Great Lakes. Opposition to the St. Lawrence pro- fects appears to be dwindling, not only in Canada but in certain sec- tions of this country, and it seems assured that the future will witness its completion. States of the Middle West which have taken the Iead in urging the improvement are indebt- ed to, the State Department for its able conduct of the negotiations with Canada. Si “ABUNDANT SYMPATHY,” INDEED! Five years ago Mr. Frank Vander- lip wrote a book prefaced by this remark: “This book is dedicated to my six ‘children, with the hope that they, and their generation, will grow up possessed of an abundant sympathy with their fellows, and a sufficient knowledge of economic law, to en- able them to make a liberal and wise contribution of service to society.”” ‘What came over the writer of those sentiments in the short period of time? “Abundant sympathy,” if ho had it then, it has given away to a yiclous cynicism which sees evil at every turn, and even prophesies the fall of the Government unless men’s ways are changed for the right. Mr. ‘Vanderlip’s children will have a greater abundance of eympathy when they see some slight trace of it in their father. And the people of this country would have a greater sym- pathy it thelr representatives in Con- eres would show the way and re- {rain from assaults on the reputa- tions of others, utterly unjustified by the known tacts. ‘ —ili— ‘ pEESIDENT COOLIDGE ‘When Charlie Cottrill of Toledo, Atty. Barcus of Columbus and the other “‘white-men picked” or self- styled “Negro leaders of Ohio” gave the Hon. Hoke Donithen, Coolidge leader in this state, to understand that our people of Ohio would be satisfied with two candidates for al- ternates-at-large to the Republican ‘National Convention, to meet in this city in June of this year, they knew full well the despicable part they were playing for their white political masters and how our people of Ohio would feel toward them for their treachery, We asked, in time this year, a delegate-at-large, and now DEMAND it! An Afro-American must be substituted for Knight or Procter, or one of the two white women selected. It is the merest monsense for Mr. Donithen, or any- ‘one else, to tell us “it is now too late” te do this. He and his assoct- tes in the selection of the seven candidates on the slate (for dele- gates-at-large) knew in time that We had asked and expected what we were and are clearly entitled to as a potent factor of the Republican party of Ohio, and unless it is given we can safely say that at least 50,- 350 Ohio Afro-Americans will refuse, this fall, to vote for President Cool- fdge, many of them voting for the Democratic candidate for the Presi- dency if McAdoo or some other broad-minded northern member of that party be named as such. Cou- pled with the foregoing and greatly aggravating the whole matter is the contemptuous manner in which Mr. Donithen treated our Conference committee that sought (almost in vain) the interview with him. It was far more of an insult than an Interview. He does not seem to have anything like a proper regard for the Afro-American Republicans of Ohio and it is up to them to teach him, and those associated with him, ‘& much-needed lesson. This can only be done at the polls in November, unless he awakens and soon, too, to a proper and full realization of the fact that we propose to have that delegate-at-large or give them some- thing to remember, this fall, they will never forget. Ohio Afro-Amer- {eans will not stand such insulting and unfair mistreatment from Doni- then, Coolidge or any one else with- out striking back in a proper man- ner and at the proper time, and it is far better that they get this right in thelr minds mow than later on when it is too late. : ‘The Harding-Coolidge administra- tion was a grievous disappointment to Afro-Americans generally, not only because it practically followed the policy of the southern Demo- cratic Wilson administration in re- fusing to appoint responsible mem- bers of our group to positions of im- portance (both as to class and sal- ary), as well as others, but"also be- cause it continued the insulting seg- regation in the departments at Wash- ington, D. C., inaugurated by and ‘under the Wilson administration; and voiced insulting sentiments which it felt would also please the Democratic South. Add to the fore- going its refusal to pardon our sol- dicr-martyrs imprisoned at Ft. Leay- enworth, Kans, and many other demonstrations of unfairness, all be- cause of our color and race, and anyone can get sdmething like a fair estimate of how we feel today toward the Coolidge administration which has not, as yet, done anything ma- terial to change the strong feeling of resentment that has surged thru the breast of every manly and wom- anly Afro-American for nearly three years, The C. Bascomb Slemp {dea that Afro-Americans can be fooled with the giving of “the shadow for the substance” is positively silly, and President Coolidge who may mean well and intend to do what is right by us, should not be misled by his “Iily-white” Republican secre- tary from Virginia, Mr. Slemp. He, the President must first and prompt- Ty root out that aggravatingly insult- ing segregation in the departments of the government at Washington, D. C. (and elsewhere in its service). ‘This far overshadows the matter of appointments to office. If it is not wiped out soon, no self and race re- specting member of the race can pos- sibly vote for the President, this fall. ‘A southern Democratic President (Wilson) inaugurated the segrega- tion and another can do 10 worse. We are trying to have faith in Pres!- dent Coolidge but Cohen's appoint- ment, and all others that may come after, pale into insignificance while that segregation in the. departments at Washington remains. ‘With the administration at Wash- ington failing in the most important matter to the entire race, and failing to give us any recognition worth while in the way of appointments to office, and its state leaders, like the Hon. Hoke Donithen of Marion, O., and Chairman Montgomery of the Ohio Republican executive commit- tee, treating with almost contempt not only our just demand but also’ those of our real leaders who car- ried it to thom at Columbus, the outlook for the loss of 50,000 Afro- American votes in this state alone, is anything but encouraging as far as the election of President Cool- idge, this fall, is concerned.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which’ are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” ‘The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- ton, and are winning even so- cial rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. 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 na- ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts’. ‘The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. ‘Let us be worthy of the abo- litionists, worthy of aur 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 de- serve contempt.— Boston (Mass.)

MEMPRERPCUID NRIVRK NAW AN 75-YEAR-OLD CLOCK STILLRUNS ork of Jonathan Frost, Once Known as Ireland's Finest Clock Maker. Kansas City, Mo,—For three gene- rations an old grandfather's clock own- by W. Nash of this city has counted olf the seconds. Seventy-five years zo the mother of Mr. Nash, then a young girl, sent back to her old home in County Tyrone, Ireland, for some things for her new home. She was to marry an Irish lad she had met in this new country, Most Important of her orders was one for a clock to be made especially for her. “There is an old clockmaker at home,” she told her rweetheart, “whose clocks are the finest to be hat. His name is Jonatuan wrost and bis clocks, they say, will last forever.” ‘The clock came at last. It was Ine ease of cherry wood, grend to behold Bat its most interesting part, at least to our modern eyes, is the works. ‘The wheels, with one exception, are of wood. Su carefully were they cary ed, of such fine, hard wood were they made that today tht old clock still keops almost perfect time, There is one sinall brass wheel in the case. Only twice has it ever bad to be re- paired—and then a thorough cleaning way all that was necessary. In 1859 It was sent back to a clock repairer, Le Reicht, in Platte City, Mo. And fifty sears later, in 1909, 1t was sent again to him. Although he was then an old man, his hands were still skilled in the repairing of delicate machinery. However, the old clock was once more merely in need of cleaning and it was soon sent back to the home of Mr. Nash, where ft is now ticking as cheerfully as ever. ‘There is no in- ication that It will cease soon. It requires winding every twenty-four hours. ‘There is also an alarm, which 1s as good as ever. ‘The clock has outlived its first owner by many years, 5 well as a number of others in the family. WISEST HOUN? DOG IN MISSOURI “Turk” Has His Own Original Way of Getting Rid of Flees Chitwood, Mo.—Frederick Weldgen, who lives on Turkey Creek, 1s the owner of what he claims to be the wisest “houn’ dog” fn Missouri. ‘The vicinity of the barn lot, where “Turk.” the dog, usually sleeps, is in- fested with an army of fleas, and this particular hound had more than his share of them. His owner observed that about once « week “Turk” would gather a mouthful of hay and trot off toward the creek, and then he would be free from fleas for some time. One day, when the hound started off on his weekly “stunt,” Weldgen watch- ed him and saw him go to the creek, then deliberately back into the water unuil all of his body except his mouth and nose were completely {mmersed. He still held the hay in his mouth, and as the fleas scurried for a dry spot they were all soon collected on this same bunch of grass. Then the wiso old “Turk” merely opened bis mouth and allowed the hay, with its colony of ttle pests, to float down the ‘stream. "When he came out of the water the old dog had a very fair imitation of a smile on his wrinkled visage. SKELETON IN ABANDONED MINE.

BAGS SQUAWKING LOON Washington Nimrod Brings Down Fa- cotati ie tei Gila. Seattle, Wash. —The famous squawk ing loon of Hollow Lake, Ontario, has been killed by a Washington hunts: man, C. A. Rossiter, who, with a party of friends has just returned from a successful hunting and fishing trip around Lakes and Bays, Province of Ontario, Canada, claims this distinc: tion. Seven years ago one of the guides for fishermen and hunters in that re gion shot a loon through the neck.

The following were named as a committee to present the foregoing resolution to Chairman Montgomery of the State Republican Executive Committee and to the Hon. Hoke Connithen, Ohio Coolidge leader, Warren as chairman of the State Republican Tuesday, Feb. 12, 1924, Lincoln's birthday. The committee: Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, Rev. I. S. Webster of Toledo, I. S. Beason of Columbus, John C. Logan of Columbus and Dr. L. H. Cox of Dayton, chairman. The officers of Columbus and Dr. L. H. Cox of Dayton, chairman; Rev. I. S. Baker of Fremont, secretary; Rev. I. S. Webster, treasurer. After the committee was named, the chairman called the office of Mr. Donthen and was informed that the gentleman was out and would not be back until late that evening. He then called the office of the chairman of the state executive committee and informed that that gentleman had been sent to the office and not be back that day. The chairman returned to the conference and related his experiences in trying to make an appointment to deliver the resolution, and announced that he would bend every honorable effort towards making the appointment with Mr. Donthen when the committee would deliver the appointment. The remaining members of the committee agreed to meet Chairman Cox in Columbus, if possible, on call. A few days later, Mr. Cox called Mr. Donthen over the long distance 'phone and asked an appointment. He stated that the committee could call "any day" and he would see it. To this Mr. Cox replied: "That is too indefinite. Donthen we do not want a repetition of the complaint. Logan informed him in Columbus ready to call on you and could not get in touch with you." He then agreed on Tuesday, Feb. 12th. Chairman Cox then notified each member of the committee to meet him in Columbus at 12 o'clock noon, Feb. 12th, and sent a copy from Logan to him informed him the living to危急 he was leaving his Lincoln convention to attend the Lincoln League convention he would be present but directed Mr. Cox to sign his name to the resolution. The editor of The Gazette, much to his regret, was unable to leave Cleveland, Feb. 12, but wrote that he was heart and soul with the committee and for it to use his name in the committee. The committee saw fit. Promptly at 12 o'clock, Feb. 12, 1924, three of the committee of five met here at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Donthen was called on the phone and the meeting with him was arranged for one-thirty. "We were at Donthen's headquarters at one-fifteen, just fifteen minutes ahead of time," said Chairman Cox. "He was out but was 'expected back at any minute.' Well, those fifteen minutes soon passed and it was now one-thirty, the appointed hour. From the room where we sat we could see the outside door and every time the door would open we would think—here he is now—but that door opened and closed several times. We were at Donthen's thirty, without being darkened by the form of Mr. Donthen. For more than two hours, there we sat, smoked and chatted, looked at our watches, and then smoked and chatted some more; only looking towards the door, every time it rattled, to say, 'here he comes now.' Finally, when I could stand it no longer and had risen to go, telling my companions that I had stood the humiliation long enough and that I had stood it that long simply because I felt that I was making the sacrifice for the thinking men and women of my race in the state, and after about two and a half years Mr. Donthen entered and, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donthen's) explained was a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donthen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse whatever for keeping us waiting for more than two hours. Rather humiliating to any self-respecting human being, he asked, "Is it standing when he entered and, after receiving myself, Editor Dabney and Rev Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women of the state of Ohio, none the less Republican because they dare think for themselves, and in their behalf we urge you to use your good offices to see that we are justly accorded the rights of our people, to recognize, Mr. Donithen, that to the voter belongs the spoils, but we do not come to you as job-seeking Republicans, willing to barter the just rights of our people for a political job or promise of such job, but we do come fully mindful of the fact that year after year we are labored, Republicans, your race and voted almost solidly for the success of the grand old party, and we believe we are justified in asking. now for some of its honors and that the treatment accorded us be in keeping with our loyalty to the party. I present to you the facts of the above) for your careful consideration. Mr. Dabney will make a few remarks and then Rev. Webster. then named as being one of our leaders who agreed to their not naming a Negro delegate-at-large, was those and tried to block the adoption of the resolution. But in spite of his efforts, the resolution passed and the telegram was sent. Hats on Banks and shame on the man who laid down when the race needed upstanding men to champion its cause. Some weeks ago a petition was circulated throut Ohio and thousands of signatures obtained by the Abraham Lincoln Republican club of Dayton, calling upon the state executive committee to name a member of the race as a delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland, this year. This was before the state was made up, too. Some time later I was informed that this petition had been ignored by the state Republican executive committee."

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and with authority of law shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whip, missiles, or in any other manner, recover, as herafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until then be distributed to the legal age, and then be distributed to the share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representation shall be the sure right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire of the court of the county of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v 162 8.) Section 6226. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6227. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or murdered. The county may also of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county in which the lynching occurred unless there was contributory negligence on the part of offenders of such been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: **BBS.** **ed.** **g.** representative of victim of lynching, bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. **s.** inst member of mob. inst another county. county in falling to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Cote of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be find not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than thirty days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beatty 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 My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal 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) of the hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and 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.

F-72 Dayton, Ohio THUNDER ON OCEAN It is Never Heard on the Sea, is Statement. The Astronomical Society of France has again taken up the discussion which has been before it on several previous occasions, and that is the statement that thunder is never heard at sea. The statement was originally attributed to Baron Vumhboldt and it has been frequently questioned, but those who insist that they have heard thunder at sea have also stated that the peals were not so loud as on land. A larger number of seaman have been found to agree with the scientists, although it is suggested that the other noises prevailing on shipboard during a storm may be the reason why the thunder often passes unnoticed, but information on this subject from sailors will be welcomed by the French astronomers. SUMMER AND WINTER BUTTER Color No Indication of Richness or Fat Value. Scientific experiments have demonstrated that, contrary to the general belief, the yellow color of cream and butter is not necessarily an indication of their richness. It was discovered long ago that most vegetable matter contains a yellow substance called carotin, because it exists abundantly in carrots. It is this substance contained in the cow's feed that gives rise to the color of milk and butter. Carotin is most abundant in the green forage available in spring and summer so that milk and butter produced then are more yellow than in the winter, altho the percentage of fat in winter milk often is actually higher than in the rich-looking product obtained in summer. ulation!
