Written By "The Old Reliable" Gazette's Correspondents What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical Marriages, Deaths, Etc. Washington, D. C.—On June 30 forty-three Afro-American employees were discharged by the U. S. register of the treasury, thirty-eight of whom were in the notorious "jim-crow" section of the interest coupon division. The other 5 were in a minor "jim-crow" section. The forty-three employees discharged were about half the total number of Afro-American clerks in the office of Register Harvey V. Speelman, a former resident of Ohio. It is currently reported that the discharged employees of the interest coupon division were most active in their opposition to Register Speelman's segregation of our employees of his department. Mr. Speelman has even arranged it so colored and white employees of his department cannot use the elevators at the same time, mornings and evenings. This is carrying segregation to the limit, and President Calvin Coolidge permits it, too, in spite of all of our protests. Including messengers, charwomen and janitors (laborers), there were 119 Afro-American employees in the office of the register of the treasury. The reasons given for these dismissals is the failure of Congress to appropriate the necessary funds to carry on the work in which these clerks were engaged. It is claimed that the appropriation for this work was reduced $280,000. Representative Martin B. Madden (of Chicago), chairman of the appropriations committee of the House, is blamed for this reduction. It is shown, however, that the Commissioner of Public Debt testified before the committee on appropriation.

Discrimination Our discharged clerk claims that they were discriminated against. They charge that the official of the register's office began notifying the white employees in April last and gave them application blanks to fill out and file with the Civil Service Commission for transfer to some other branch of the Government service. Our clerkes were not notified of June 13, the official afterward of June 13. At that time they were simply ordered to the office of A. J. Leakin, chief of the division, who notified them orally that their services would no longer be required after June 30. Register Speelman has been the object of several bitter attacks because of the segregation in force in his office, which President Coolidge endorsed. Beaver board walls completely separate colored and white employees engaged in the same work and on the same floor. Speelman claims, however, that such walls were erected by the Democrats under President Wilson. Nevertheless, they have been continued during the Harding and Coolidge administrations. Colored and white employees on the same floor report for duty, mornings and noons, fifteen minutes agent. Register Speelman claims that this is dep. to relieve the elevator service, but the clerks say it is done so that there may be no contact whatever between the two separate toilets were provided in the register's department, but these were abolished after there had been threats of seeking his forced resignation. The "jim-crow" section continues, however. Forty-one employees are left in it. And Coolidge wants Negro votes in November! Lord, have mercy!

Kansas City, Kan., June 23, '24 Dear time-tried Friend and Editor: —Ohio is not merely a state; it is a propaganda of the best kind or a ceaseless preachment for progress. Herbert Spencer says something about "all human things affecting him." Somehow all things "Buckeye" touch my keenest sympathy. The latest pulsation is the new president of Wilberforce. I knew "Dean Jones" around old Central High school, Columbus, O. In those days Negro scholarship was an exertement! We played before the indifferent "bleachers" with volley after volley of Latin conjugations and algebraic solutions. "A lighter set" away. And dark numbers have brought adverse problems against us. I won a cadet commission at. Ohio State University and never had a jar in command of white platoons. But they say it is not so easy now. I am glad to note the elevation of our old friend, a real, sure-enough schooled man to the presidency of Wilberforce. The university can help every phase of Negro education the world over, stressing ability more than degrees. I believe that a broad-gauged educated man can make Wilberforce, national and international, in the exchange of professors generally and becoming known for technical rating—the very best word for the highest, most practical Negro student excellence! With his single (not dual) training along pedagogical lines, President Jones can ring clear, he can defend his race, as an unfettered university head, some lovely tupes. President Angel of Michigan once told us that "on the campus, on the college campus, as nowhere else, do brains and behavior count for so much, and race, wealth and prejudices count for so little;" that politicians are fellows grabbing for self while statesmen seek to help others. Psychology is rampant as a test now a days. Years ago in Texas, a student told me that "physiology tells what's in a man's body and head." Truth "big jobs" tell what is in the systems of our leaders. A very little more will come out of the ill than what went into it! Ideals and intellectual entente cannot be churned out over night. Those who have not drained the dregs of campus, class-room and dormitory upilts, never felt the heroic not bruise, competence (those dreadful) man correspondence, benefiaries), received a lot—but missed a lot. I need not boast for the old "Buckeyes." They never boast. They always seem to wish everybody well. Like the stormy petrel they carry the banner of effort everywhere. Wilberforce will keep up the quota. Very cordially. Alijen S. Peal, Teacher, Western Univ. Kansas City, Kan. SUIT FOR $500,000 Filed Against the Ku Klux Klan—Conspiracy Against Certain Races, Citizens Charge. Chicago, Ill.—A suit for $500,000 damages against the Ku Klux Klan, a corporation organized under the laws of Georgia, was filed in federal court here, June 28, by the American Unity Pub. Co., alleging conspiracy against certain races and classes of citizens. It is charged that the leaders employed Nedell Jones, formerly in the taxicuck business at A. Atlanta, to disrupt the opposition to the klan as represented by the company, which publishes "Tolerance." According to P. H. O'Donnell, president of the American Unity league, which was organized to oppose the klan, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia university, is interesting himself in preparations for legal action against the klan in New York, and that federal action against the klan and its high officials may be taken. The bill charges that Jones was a paid employee of the klan and that Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans and other high officers have conspired to use the malls to defraud through the efforts of Jones. Ku Klux Barred From Jury. London, Ky.—The most stinging rebuke administered to the Ku Klux Klan in Kentucky was inflicted here, recently, by Judge A. T.

Bellegarde, Haitian Minister to France, Says Haitian Women and Children Bombed to Death Also—Japanese Still Fighting for Racial Equality Lyons, France, July 1.—A resolution presented by M. Bellegarde, the Haitian minister to France, to the political commission of the federation of League of Nations societies, yesterday, demanding the withdrawal of American marines from Haiti, was defeated. A substitute resolution, however, offered by Dr. C. A. Dunway, representing an American association of former residents of Haiti, was adopted and the proceedings put the federation on record as sympathizing with the Haitian people and as expressing the wish that the Republic of Haiti be given at the earliest possible moment all her rights as an independent state. Only a few delegates of other countries voted against the Dumitray resolution and Japan and China were invited to voting. In a speech M. Bellegarde declared that the United States could justify the occupation by no international law and he is right in that statement. He further declared that when the klansmen from juries. Judge Manning, before a crowded courtroom, quoted the Constitution, setting forth the doctrine of freedom to all, regardless of race or religion. peasants had refused to contribute labor to road building American marines killed many women and children also by dropping bombs on the villages. In the meantime, the Japanese before another commission were gaining what for them constitutes a great moral victory on the problem of racial equality. The resolution they succeeded in having approved calls upon all states to adopt mutually and freelycally uniform regulations for the admittance and departure of foreigners without distinction of nationality, religion or occupation. The Japanese delegation set forth its desire that the subject should be discussed without involving immigration and this occasion figure in the protocol of the resolution. However, the delegates of the various countries appeared to consider the resolution as a direct bid for insistence on equality of treatment for all nations in immigration matters. ANOTHER WILKINSON WINS The Highest Prize at Wilbraham Academy—His Splendid Record "The law makes these guarantees, and the law of the land cannot be enforced by juries which are schooled in religious and racial hatred against classes of fellow citizens. There is no place on a jury for a man whose oath to a secret organization is superior to an oath in court," declared Judge Manning. Harvard University Uses Jones' Book Cambridge, Mass.—President Gilbert H. Jones' inaugural dissertation on psychology is used as a text book in the graduate school of Boston University and as a reference book in Harvard University. The treatise was written by Dr. Jones in Germany. It was translated for use in the above mentioned schools. Dr. Jones is president of Wilberforce University. His scholastic accomplishments are: A. B. and B. S. from Wilberforce University, 1902 and 1903, respectively; A. M. Dickinson College, in 1906; Ph. D. Jena University, 1909. He was principal of Lincoln High school, Carlisle, Pa. 1903-1905; professor of philosophy and education, St. Augustine Collegiate Institute, Raleigh, N. C. 1909-10; professor of ancient languages, A. & N. University, Langston, Okla. 1910-14; dean and vice-president of Wilberforce University, 1914 to June 10, 24. --- Washington, D. C.—Evacuation of Haiti by American forces will be effected as soon as internal conditions in the republic make it possible. It was said again, last week, at the state department. Although Haiti and the Dominican republic are contiguous geographically, it was pointed out that conditions in each republic presented different aspects. The retirement of the marines from the Dominican republic this month, however, was pointed to as an indication of the desire of the Washington government to terminate the occupation of other countries, where marines are stationed, at the earliest possible date. Too good news to believe! Baby Lives After Extra Head Is Cut Off. Sumter, S. C.—Only three weeks old, a baby was in a local hospital "getting along fine" after having one of his heads removed. Whenborn the child had two heads, one natural and another at the base of his spinal column. After examining the child physicians carried him to the hospital, where his extra head was removed. They considered the operation near miraculous in view of the fact that the child is recovering. It was normal in every other way, the doctors said, and promised to develop into a healthy youngster. The extra head was fully developed. First Negro Democratic Delegate. New York City.—For the first time, an Afro-American took a seat (last week) as a delegate on the floor of a Democratic national convention. Dr. Paul A. Collins, a resident of this city, was seated in place of Murray Hulburt, president of the Board of Aldermen of New York, a delegate, who had gone to Europe. Collins was an alternate for the Twenty-first New York district. As soon as he was seated he became a full delegate. Wonders never cease!! IN UNION IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS icies! OF NATIONS!

ANOTHER WILKINSON WINS The Highest Prize at Wilbraham Academy—His Splendid Record An Older Brother a Prizewinner, Too. Orangeburg, S. C.—The above caption which appeared in The Springfield (Mass.) Daily Republican of June 10, 1924, describes the achievement of Frost Birnie Wilkinson, second son of President R. S. Wilkinson of State College, on completing his course of study at Wilbraham Academy, recently. The article related that the final and most coveted honor of the senior class went to young Wilkinson whose name will be inscribed on the Cora Pease Chandler shield which hangs in Rich Hall. The names engraved on this shield are those of the seniors, each year, who in the eyes of the faculty have best represented the school during the year in spirit, courtesy, carefulness in little things, manliness, scholarship and athletics. Wilkinson was a gritty center halfback on the soccer team. He won his letter in basketball as a guard. On the baseball, nine he starred time and again as catcher. He was beloved by every student and master. It is also significant that his brother, Robert Shaw Wilkinson, who preceded him at Wilbraham, won the same honor in 1920, later earning the Phi Beta Kappa key this year at Dartmouth previous to his graduation. Both of these young men attended and completed courses at State College before going off for advanced training. COOLIDGE WON'T DO IT! Americans and Virgin Islanders Appeal to The President to Prevent "A Civic Scandal and Disgrace"—Washington Williams. New York City.-President Coolidge has been asked to intervene to prevent "the civic scandal and judicial disgrace" of having Gov. Philip Williams of the Virgin Islands appoint George Washington Williams, the present U. S. government attorney in the islands, to the post of district judge. The request was made by a mass meeting of over 1500 persons, held under the auspices of the Associated Virgin Islands Societies at St. Marks hall, W. 13th St, this city, on Sunday, June 22, 1921. A protest against the proposed appointment was also cabled to Gov. Philip Williams. The letter to President Coolidge, signed by Casper Holstein, chairman, declares that Washington Williams has "achieved an unsavory reputation as official propagandist for that very naval regime which inhabitants of the islands are now doing their best to get changed." Williams, according to the letter, has practiced and defended the "gross abuses" involved in an identification of judicial and administrative functions in the same person. A protest against the appointment has been sent by the American Civil Liberties Union to Gov. Philip Williams on the grounds that Washington Williams has "misrepresented the United States in the islands, and has blocked progress there." The feeling between Williams and the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands has been so notoriously bitter, the Union's protest declares, that they fear he would use his new post to settle old scores. --- The GAZETTE BILISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 The Afro-American delegates to the recent Republican National convention accomplished absolutely nothing for the race. They made no concerted effort to do so, either. --- Ohio klan leaders are said to be very friendly to both State Senator John Burke, of Elyria, and Representative John L. Cable, of Lima, candidates for the gubernatorial Republican nomination. President Harding's large majority over his Democratic opponent, Gov. James M. Cox of this state, four years ago, seems to have made the Republican leaders so confident of winning, this fall, that they think they can elect President Coolidge without the Afro-American vote. Both the Republican and Democratic National conventions "side-stepped" the Klan issue, both straddling the same. But where the former did it easily and quickly, the experience of the latter with the issue was just the opposite. After Senator LaFollett's "national" convention, which is scheduled to meet in this city, this week, has adjourned, it will be possible to tell whether we are to have a Democratic or Republican President for four years after March 4 next. CONSTITUTION TO THE FORE! The "reds" and "parlor pinks" in this country have been confounded at the tremendous impetus given the study of the Constitution by the oratorical contest, with the Constitution as the theme, recently conducted by thirty-seven metropolitan papers throughout the country. It is estimated that a million high school students participated, seven of the ultimate winners going to Washington and delivering their addresses before President Coolidge and a distinguished gathering. The president of the American Bar Association declared that newspapers never rendered a better service to the cause of good government than in the promotion of that contest. The attacks of communists against our courts and our form of government in general has been met with a counter assault that is bound to win. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the intrepid leader of the Democratic cohorts in the upper House, came off the victor, recently, in a knockdown-and-drag-out affair incidental to a round of golf on the capital's most fashionable course. Only one blow was struck, but that was sufficient to flatten the Senator's critic and end the argument. How fortunate that the Senator confined his demonstration to fistcuffs and did not resort to the handy mashie or brassie. Had the latter weapons figured in the affair there might have been a more serious ending, and we would have had a corps of alienists telling how the super-intellectuality of the Arkansas solon renders him immune from the laws that govern ordinary mortals. ORGANIZE AND SPREAD THE NEWS. Ohio Afro-Americans will have twice as many votes (over 200,000), if our men and women will but register, as will be necessary to nominate our candidates for the Republican nominations for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. Make this fact perfectly clear to all with whom you come in contact. If it can be made generally known and acted upon, the greatly desired results are sure to come at the next primary. Make yourself a committee of one to spread this information, and organize in every county in the state where there are any of our people, for the purpose, particularly, of educating them along this line. Pay no attention to "Negro political boot- lickers" and other white men's hairlings (W. M. N.'s). They are few in number at best and but stumbling blocks in the path of racial progress. We can win—IF WE WILL! Four years ago, the editor of The Gazette polled in excess of 61,000 votes as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State. Two years ago, he beat two or three white candidates of the eight in the contest for the Republican nomination for Governor. Who said it could not be done? The W. M. N., "political bootlickers." ROOSEVELT, THEIR GREAT FRIEND. The Democrats, assembled in national convention at New York City, last week, did not forget their great friend, President Theodore Roosevelt, the one man who made possible the election of Thomas Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency, the first time he was elected. When Roosevelt's name was mentioned, the N.Y. dispatches to the daily papers of the country, last week Thursday and Friday, announced that the convention hall rang with cheers for him whenever his name was mentioned. Well might it, for national Democracy certainly has much to feel exceedingly grateful to him for—as much as we, as a race, have to feel otherwise toward him when we remember his mistreatment of our soldiers in Cuba who saved his and his soldiers in "Rough Riders" lives, during the Spanish-American war; and for his greatest mistake—the discharge without honor of The Black Battalion," one of whom was proven to be absolutely innocent of the charges (preferred against them) by the special U.S. Senate committee, headed by our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, that thorously investigated the alleged "Brownville Affray." Some of the battalion were among Roosevelt's rescuers in Cuba, too. Their mistreatment, at the hands of President Theodore Roosevelt, will ever be one of the blackest pages in American history. Let the Democrats cheer their friend for the great service he rendered them when he led the fight that defeated the Republican party and landed the southerner. Thomas Woodrow Wilson, in the white House. But may the day never come when our people will forget not only his treachery to the party, the Republican party, that made him President, but also his ungrateful and outrageous treatment of "The Black Battalion" and, thru them, every loyal member of the race. We may forgive, but we should not forget! Will Contest Madden's Will Contest Madden's Seat. New York City.—Atty. Earl B Dickerson, of Chicago, will be offered the Democratic nomination for Congress in the first Illinois district, it has been announced here by Bill Clinton.

Lyons Dead Augusta, Ga.-Hon. Judson W. Lyons, one of our most prominent men, died at his home here, June 22. He had been a member of the Republican National committee and Register of the U. S.

Birmingham, Ala.—Rather than 70, upon being called to the head office of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, last week, was presented with a gold service button set with ten diamonds and a letter of commendation for having completed fifty years continuous service with the company. He was also placed on a pension. Our School Boys Lead! New York afternoon. On a recent Saturday afternoon, our boys who marched in New York's "Loyalty Parade" virtually led the entire thirty thousand boys in the line of march. In at least five of the local schools our boys were selected as captains and lieutenants to guide their classes down Fifth Ave. In one instance—that of the De Witt Clinton high school—three Afro-American members carried "Old Glory" at the head of the entire body, numbering close to 5,000 students. Our boys were found in every branch of scholastic endeavor. There were also several of our mixed school teachers in the line of march, who directed both white and colored students. Bishon L. J. Coppin Dead Philadelphia, Pa.—Rt. Rev. Levi J. Coppin, senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church since the retirement on pension of Bishop Benj. F.

He was elected bishop in 1900, the 30th of the Church. Funeral, Tuesday morning, from Bethel A. M. E. church, this city. It was a very large one with attendants from many sections of the country.

BUT- WELL YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, FELLOWS PRIME SPORT NEWS Browns Beaten Again. Two years ago Jim Taylor led the Tate Stars against the opposition in our national league. Sunday afternoon, at Hooper field, the same Jim Taylor, now manager of the St. Louis Stars, guided his team to a double victory over the Browns. The Stars won 10-5. A team that ranks above the average, but Sol White, manager of the Browns, leads a club that should hold its own with the best in the league. Johnson, Fields, Tyre and Hensley are four good pitchers and should win many games. But their combined efforts on the mound have resulted in failure. Miles, McClain, Singer, Ray, Harris, Shackelford, Foreman and Perry comprise the offspring of the Browns. Shackelford, and Perry have had been hitting the ball consistently of late, but should strike their stride if left in the game. But the Browns are not winning ball games, despite their apparent strength both on the offense and defense. This is a problem for local club officials to solve. Sunday, St. Louis batters connected the offerings of both Johnson and the Browns, utilizing their bats to good advantage, but the pitchers were unable to hold up their part. At St. Louis the Browns obtained an even break in a four-game series. The Stars And Brown's Split a Pair. The Cleveland Browns split a twin bill with the St. Louis Stars, Tuesday, at Hooper field, winning the first 5 to 4 and losing the second, 11 to 3. In the first game: Two-base hits, Singer, Shackelford, Home runs—Blackwell. In the second: Harris, Foreman and Russell each made two-basers. Jupiter Pluvius, campaign manager for Mr. Showers, wet candidate, stepped in with an oratorical address at Hooper field, Monday, that took the convention by storm. The Showers took Loews' office, egregated to the background, being unable to compete with the eloquence of the storm elements. The Browns left for Chicago, Tuesday, right after the twin bill. They were scheduled to tackle Rube Foster's American Giants, July 4, 5 and 6, returning to this city next week. Curtis, an infielder, and Stamps, a southpaw pitcher, will be added to the Browns' roster at Chicago. Three other players will be added to the Browns when they return. "Bobo" Leonard, star outfielder with the Tate Stars, last season; also will return with the local team. What Is Brookins? New York City.—Our newspapers and sport-writers, the country over, have subscribed to the statement, accepted by themselves, that Charles Brookins, the University of Iowa's track captain, and America's hopes in the Olympic hurdles, being recognized as the World's Champion, is a member of the race. A student at Syracuse, formerly a playmate of Brookins in the West, is alleged to be the authority for the statement that Brookins is an Afro-American, Brookins, it is alleged, denies this and is said to have forced the Sporting Life magazine to retract a statement, made some months ago, to the effect that he was "Colored."

S. marines is to be continued in Haiti, despite the pledges of President Harding to restore autonomy to that subjugated republic, why vote for a Republican administration? If advancement in the civil service is barred to black men and their appointment is blocked in the same manner as under southern Democratic bureau chiefs, what is the advantage of voting for a change of parties? If a Republican administration fears to appoint an Afro-American as minister to the country, what are the facts of that country are run by the American financial agent and the marines, as stated by an influential Republican in Washington, why worry about the sins of Democracy? These are the questions that our voters are asking—N. Y. Age (editorial). The Williams Billiard parlor, Moose headquarters and barber shop that replaced the Royal Inn and its subsidiaries, in E. the 55th St.. is a beautiful pleasure place as well as one of usefulness. Everything new and up-to-date and the management of the Williams, is first-class in every respect. It is a credit to the city and certainly fills a long-felt want. PRINTED MATERIAL TRIMS SOFT SILK THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES The newest overblouses are often combinations of plain and printed materials. The one shown is fashioned of a soft, plain silk with vest, collar and pipings of printed material. Sources of Binder Twine Greater Part of Raw Material Is Grown in Yucatan. The State of Yucatan, Mexico, has furnished the greater part of the raw material used heretofore in the manufacture of binder twine for harvesting and according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The conditions affecting the production and marketing of the fiber were comparatively stable and there were steadily increasing supplies to meet the increasing demands with but few fluctuations in prices, from about 1890, when this fiber took the lead in binder twine, until 1915. Since then there have been great fluctuations in the production and in the prices of fiber, except during the years 1922 and 1923. The production of henequen on more than 1,000 plantations comprising 550,000 acres, of which about 240,000 acres are in the producing stage, is henequen. The rocky limestone land and hot, arid climates in Northern Yucatan are unsuitable for other crops. With changing political and labor conditions the henequen industry has been passing through a serious crisis. Owing to the lack of labor and lack of funds for operation many of the plantations have been permitted to grow up to weeds and brush. The machinery and equipment on these temporarily abandoned plantations deteriorate more quickly than if used. The henequen plants deteriorate rather slowly and may remain almost dormant, especially in the drier sections. The mature plants up and become leathery and unsuitable for fiber production if not cut within a few months, and the plants, overgrown with bushes and twining vines, are susceptible to attacks of fungi and insects. They are not lost, as organized effort was made in 1922 and 1923 to rehabilitate the plantations and to underexpress had been done before the work was interrupted by the revolution in December, 1923. The exports of the henequen from Yucatan in 1923 amounted to 612,745 bales, compared with 461,515 bales in 1922 and 565,424 in 1921. Exports were cut off during January because the market was declared 28 by the de facto Government of Yucatan, and reports indicate that fiber is now available for shipment from Progreso in approximately normal quantities. With the increased imports of henequen from Yucatan in 1923, and also the increasing importations of henequen from Cuba, sisal from East Africa and Java, and abaca and manila maguey from the Philippine Islands, there seems little danger of a serious shortage of fiber for binder twine during the coming season, provided there are no further interruptions in the production and importation of henequen from Yucatan. A feature that may cause some anxiety in future years is the fact that there has been much less than the normal acreage of new plants set out in Yucatan in the last five years. This may result in a lower production when the plants now in the garden are being planted, and there are now enough new ones to take their places. If normal planting should be resumed during the rainy season of the coming summer, it would be six or seven years be- fore these new plants could produce fiber, says the department. Telephones in Argentina Argentine ranks first in South America in telephone service, according to a statement by the National Superintendent of Telephones made on April 10, 1924. Forty-two per cent of the telephone equipment in South America is in Argentina, and the total line length represents 51 per cent of South America's total. Veteran Operator Tells How He Passed Up Chance to Share Inventor's Fortune for Small Loan. Louisville, Ky.—Zachary Taylor Underwood, retired telegrapher, who lives at 1709 West Jefferson street, this city, would be a rich man today if he had grasped the one big opportunity of his life. Underwood once had the chance of sharing in the profits from some of the 900 or more inventions for which Thomas Alva Edison has been granted letters patent in the United States and other countries. Underwood and Edison were intimate friends. For this loan of $100 Underwood was to share in the profits which edition then confidently, believed would eventually accrue from his inventions, particularly the double transmitter, the quadraphase telegraph, scutile telegraph, the alliance storage battery, quadruplex and scutile telegraph transmission, and many other inventions which have to do with telegraphy and electricity. All these prospective inventions were in Edison's mind while he was employed as a telegraph operator for the Union Telegraph Company here. This all happened in the years 1865-67. Edison at that time did not have sufficient money to purchase the necessary instruments with which he desired to make the experiments for improvements in telegraphy. At the same time Underwood was a clerk and messenger in the telegraph office. He was a frugal boy, and had saved some money, in that particular being like unto another Western Union messenger boy, Andy Carnegie, although Underwood is not a Canny Scot, but a native Kentuckian, a kineman of former congressman now United States Senator, Oscar Underwood of Alabama, who, by the way, was also born in Louisville. A hundred dollars looked big to Taylor Underwood at that time, and altho he liked Telegraph Operator Edison better than anyone else in the office, he hesitated about letting him have the $100 which he wanted so badly. So he consulted the chief operator, who at that time happened to be Andrew Ellison, now dead, and also manager of the office at the time, Thomas R. Beyle, now dead, Says Underwood: "That fellow Edison has a wheel in his head," they all said and edded: "He will be in the lunatic asylum within six months if he doesn't quit projecting! Let him have $100! Why, boy, you would be as crazy as he is to do so. You had a hard time earning that $100; keep it, and pay no attention to Edison and his inventions." "That's what my bosses told me," said Underwood rather sorrowfully. And Underwood kept his $100. Edison soon afterward left Louisville, but got for a lunatic asylum. He left in order to accept a better position in the east and soon afterward Underwood heard that he was getting a salary of $6,000 a year. Underwood and his fellow operators who are still alive have heard of Edison many times since then. Messenger Underwood became a telegraph operator for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and was afterward for twenty-five years, city ticket and passenger agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Louisville. Underwood confesses that he would not know what to do with the vast amount of money he might have made had he shared the profits from the inventions of Edison. He has no regrets on the score of monetary loss, but he wishes that he had not taken the advice of his superior officers, and had given Edison the $100 he wanted to borrow, just to be his partner, and to share in some of the great honors which such an association would have brought him. Underwood, however, long ago amassed a competence sufficient to satisfy his every want, and is also held in high esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances but he cannot help every now and then saying to himself: "I wish I had loaned Tom Edison that $100. At the same time Mr. Underwood says he cannot help congratulating himself that he does not have to live in West Orange, N. J., where Edison now lives. He loves his old Kentucky home and feels satisfied to live and die where his distinguished namesake, Gen. Zachary Taylor, lies buried. Had Mr. Edison succeeded in getting that $100 forty-nine years ago, he might have located in Louisville and not in New Jersey. Buy Your Columbia and O. K. Records Grafanolas Here.

SMITH and SHANKLIN Live Candidates For Governor and Lieutenant-Governor One in Northern Ohio; the Other in Southern Ohio—The Fulton School Fight Recalled Springfield, O.—The news that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, has again entered as a candidate before the primaries for the nomination for governor, on the Republican ticket, was a source of great satisfaction to his many friends in this city. The services Mr. Smith has rendered to our people in this state are too well known to need recounting. The many readers of The Gazette, which has appeared on time and without missing an issue for over forty years, know the consistent that Springfield will be on his list While Cuyahoga county is furnishing a candidate for governor, Clark county bids for fame with a candidate for lieutenant-governor in the person of Geo. W. Shanklin, a carpenter contractor, of this city Other than these the chief interest locally in the candidacy of for mer Common Pleas Judge F. W. Gei ger, for judge of the supreme court The newspaper release announcing his candidacy mentions the part he had in establishing the juvenile court and uncompromising attitude he has maintained throut this long period of time on the race question. In addition, he has a brilliant record as a member for three terms, six years, of the Ohio General Assembly where he has to his credit the Ohio Civil Law and the law pioneer legislation which is recognized as the most effective act against that barbaric practice and the model upon which the Dyer bill, now in the national Congress, was drawn. While these facts are pretty generally known over the state, he has more strongly endeared himself to the citizens of this city by the valuable assistance given us in our recent local school fight. It is conceded that nothing has been more to the necessary enthusiasm to strengthen our determination to fight to a successful end than the speeches here of Mr. Smith and the support of The Gazette. Should he enter upon a speaking tour, it is hoped GEORGE W. SHANKLIN Our Candidate For the Republican Nomination For Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. --- Springfield, O.—The subject of this sketch was born in Gallia county, received his education in the public schools and at Rio Grande college, that county. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and a leading carpenter - contractor of Springfield. Mr. Shanklin is married and has seven children. His platform is the same as that of his "running mate," the Hon. Harry C. Smith, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor for the second time, with the exception that Mr. Shanklin favors a modification of the Volstead Act to permit the manufacture of light wines and for home use. It also includes, more economy in the operation of the state government; a thorough revision of the tax laws of Ohio; a tax on gasoline and motor vehicles; a move to further empower of Ohio roads; more money for mothers' pensions; and "every facility for the "WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY"? Gov. James M. Cox said so and There Are Some "Jim-Crow Negroes" Who Subscribe to the Same Fool-Statement—That Platform. Columbus, O., June 14, '24. Hon, Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I am enclosing your receipt for $25—your entrance fee as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. I gave your platform to the Columbus Dispatch, also to The Citizen, leading local daily papers, but I do not believe that they published it. Both of the papers mentioned your candidacy, however. They promised me that they would insert your platform. You know that four years ago, Gov. James M. Cox, then the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, said publicly that "this is a white man's country." Most of the whites are with him in this. It would not be so bad if quite a "bunch" of our people did not think the way, you will get. You will have large vote again, if for no other reason than to show Ohio and the country that a large number of our people do not believe that this is "a white HARRY C. SMITH that Springfield will be on his list. While Cuyahoga county is furnishing a candidate for governor, Clark county bids for fame with a candidate for governor. In the person of Geo. W. Shanklin, in the carpenter contractor, of this city Other than these the chief interest locally is in the candidacy of former Common Pleas Judge F. W. Geiger, for judge of the supreme court. The newspaper release announcing his candidacy mentions the part he had in establishing the juvenile court, system and the long period that he presided over the court in this county. It was during that time that it became clear that the juvenile court in passing on a case in that court, the judge announced that he would warn real-estate dealers, renting double-houses, against having white and colored tenants in the same building. This aroused the resentment of his civildallytaking tactics in the Fulton school case, brought about his defeat for re-election to the office of common plcas judge. In this case, as the readers of The Gazette will recall, the attempt was made to separate the "mim-crow" school by the arrangement of removing the white children from the school. The protests, made by the people, being ignored, the C. R. P. League was organized and injunction proceedings begun. Notwithstanding the suit was filed in September and a temporary injunction asked of Judge Geiger against the continuance of the school under that arrangement. It was not until just a few days before the election that year, that what purpose was the resistance to the sued. There was a suspicion that this delay was in the interest of Supt. McCord and those in favor of the scheme who were making every effort to break up the resistance that was preventing the success of the so-called "experiment." That the Geiger injunction decision was a "bluff" was evidenced by the fact that no attention was paid to it by the superintendent of schools and the school board. Had there been an action against such as closing the school until after the election, the result might have been different as that hope was expressed by Judge Geiger's Afro-American supporters, some of whom were active in the opposition to the "jim crow" school. education and training of the youth of Ohio." Mr. Shanklin says, and very pertinently, too: "There are 200,000 Afro-American voters in Ohio, and the Republican party has been riding into office on the wings of these voters too long already without granting them a single elective state-office. It seems to me that this great mass of Republicans should now receive adequate recognition, or TAKE it since they have the power (votes) to do to. He "Smith will campaign the state, this fall, as the editor did years ago, when a candidate For six years (three terms), Mr. Shanklin was (elected) tax assessor of Gallipolis—from 1906 to 1912. In 1920 he was a candidate for state representative and was loyally supported by our people and many whites, running a close third in a field of four candidates, with two to be nominated. man's country," exclusively.

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 LENINE RESIDED AMID POVERTY In Days Of Exile Potatoes About His Only Food RENT COST $5 MONTH Bare Room Above Cobblers Bench in Zurich was Domicile of Russ Dictator Before He Went to St. Petersburg—Cobbler was unimpressed by his Lodger. BERLIN—Eight years ago, one year before the triumph of the Bishvist revolt, which made him room in Russia of Russi. Nikolai Lenin was living in a miserable room which he rented from a cobbler in the poorest quarter of the City of Zurich, in Switzerland. He was so poor that he and his wife could afford little besides potatoes for their daily diet. For the room which he rented, Lenin waid the cobbler $5 a month. Now, eight years later, the cobbler still sits mending shoes in his dirty little shop beneath the room which Lenin once occupied. To his dull mind only the faintest glimmerings have come one day when he did the world after leaving that little room; each pair of down-at-heel shoes which he patches is of more importance to him than the fact that he once shared the same roof with a man who afterward made his name known in every country of the universe as the leader of one of the greatest revolutionaries occurred to a newspaper correspondent at Zurich a short time ago to find out just where and how Lenin lived at Zurich immediately before he returned to Russia and put himself at the head of the Bolshevist revolution. The task was not easy; the ragged and dusty floor made little impression on Zurich, when he lived his hand-to-mouth life there. Eventually, however, the correspondent learned from the Zurich police that Nikolai Lenin had lived in 1916, at No. 16 on a street call in the city, and that he turned his stops. What he found at "No 16 Spliegelgasse" he described for the newspaper in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, for which he worked, and from Budapest his description has found its way into a newspaper here in Berlin. Cobbler is Uninterested The street where Lenin once lived is a small, dirty alley, at most three yards wide, where unattempt children tumble about at play. The cobbler his name is Kammerser, a three-egged stool, mending shoes. He looks up distrustfully when accosted. GEORGE W. SHANKLIN "Bank directors and cabinet ministers whom I have interviewed received me far more politely," writes the Hungarian journalist. Cobbler Kammerer never stirred from his three-legged stool. Busy bending over a child's torn shoes, he sat down and answered the journalist's questions in an absentminded way—as if they did not really interest him. "Yes," he said, "Lenin lived here. He called himself Mr. Ulianoff. He saw an ad, which I had put in a paper, about a room I had for rent, and came around here next day, and rented it. He never had the slightest idea who really was. He never spoke about himself. Nearly every day he received ten or a dozen letters. When some of these letters came addressed to Lenin instead of 'Ulianoff' he told me that he was a political refuge. "Once he told me that he wrote articles for some Russian paper, written for a newspaper, thought at all about him, though we talked together rather often in this shop here. "He lived even more simply than my wife and I. Once he came to me for permission to have his wife use our kitchen. I granted it. They ate potatoes for mostly the midsummer, when he was white and his wife occupied Lenin paid me twenty-eight frances a month. I wanted thirty frances a month, but he beat me down two frances." The journalist asked to see the room occupied eight years ago by Lenin and his wife. The cobweb of the room was taller than it found it small with low ceiling, and miserably furnished—the only articles of furniture, in fact, were a bed, a plain box and a table. At the table, mused the journalist. Lenin used to sit and produce his articles of Bolshevist propaganda and passed the way for him to replace the Czar as ruler of all the Russias. In the years since many lodgers have lived in the room. Some of them, said the cobbler, in his absent-minded, half-interested way, were foreigners — at least he thought so. The present lodger is a young paperhanger's apprentice. To Kiss Honest Policeman Actress Promises Unusual Reward for Return of Her Lost Purse NEW ROCHELLE — A kiss by Miss Gartude Cahill, formerly of the Greenwich Village Follies chorus, is the reward enthusiastically promised to Patrolman George Haggerty of this city by Miss Cahill over the telephone, because Haggerty, on finding the actress's purse on Pelham Road yesterday, notified her. Haggerty is waiting for the arrival of Miss Cahill. The purse contained a large sum of money and numerous pictures. To make a baby enjoy his bath, a cork doll that bobs around on the water while she splashes has been invented by a New Jersey woman. NONSKID BANANA PEEL New Triumph of Famous Burbank Farm. According to a news item wired from San Francisco we are soon to have with us what one writer calls "the nonskid banana peel." The edible interior remains about the same as the ordinary kind, we are told, but the new covering presents a new boon to humanity that should make its discoverer famous if not wealthy. The genius who is said to be able to produce a nice large banana with a coat like sand paper is one Frederick Doege, employed at the Burbank experiment farm near Hayward, California. The discoverer of the so-called "non skid peel," as a casing for the delectable contents guaranteed to be found inside, explains that the new fruit was obtained by crossing the ordinary banana with the cactus pear. Beeogel says the new fruit has the usual delicious taste of banana, but the peeling may be dropped on the sidewalk with perfect safety to pedestrians. If this is the precise case then the peeling must be "nonskid" on the inside as well as the outer, but this is not to be considered, says an expert as it is contrary to all horticultural laws, past or present. Therefore, he says, if the "nonskid peel" happens to be dropped with the "nonskid" side downward, then the same old, treacherous, greasy, deadly, never-failing calamitious thing will no doubt bring down its victims as it has always done since the Duke of Plazzatora, away back in the days and voyages of Christopher Columbus, discovered the banana and also the craftily laying of a strip of its covering in the way of Don Frijolo de Mounteback, he could rid himself of a powerful rival and thus get closer to the new world's discoverer as well as to the beautiful and charming Donna Isabella de Mendoza, back there in Spain. But time will tell. USE MAN POWER PLOW Phillipines Pull Heavy Implements Through Fields. Intended particularly for use in the Philippine Islands, where beasts of burden are scarce and human labor cheap, a man power plow is being built which represents a great improvement over the crude implements heretofore employed by the natives for tilling the soil. It is provided with a single wheel at the front by which the adjusting regulates the depth of the furrow to be turned. The propulsion power is gained by a long lever, extending in the rear of the implement, which when raised and lowered actuates an arm that pushes the share ahead—Popular Mechanics. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Section 6278.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. 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 without 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 "lurching" 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 whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the injury is made (§ 93. 2. 1). 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 persecution by a hood 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 such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, 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 deceased, 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.

Section 62827. 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 seriously injured by a mob from any place. A person such as 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.) 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: UBS. eed. g. a representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. a inst member of mob. a inst another county. Section 6228. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county to safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county time to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6229. 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 board had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge 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 fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Whoever violates the next preceding ordinance shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the corporation 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 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, D., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. My Dear Sir, Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you 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 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. O. Grant.
