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.

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.—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. --- ®WBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES Gn Advance) me Year oe ye cece eee 2 $2.00 Miz Months ................ 1.00 Gabscribers are requested to remit by Dostoffice money order or reg- istered letter.

Sources of Binder Twine Greater ‘Part of Row Material ts ce ae The State of Yucatan, Mexico, has furnished the greater ‘part of’ the raw material used heretofore in the manufacture of binder twine for harvesting grain, according to. the United States Department of Agri- culture, ‘The conditions affecting the production and marketing of the fiber were comparatively stable and there were steadily increasing sup- alies to meet the increasing demands with but few finctations in. prices, from about 1890, when this ber 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 i923. The pror duction of henequen on more than 1,000 plantations comprising 550,- 000 acres, of which about 240.000 acres are in the producing stage, is the off important industry of Yuca- tan. The rocky Imestone land and hot, avid elimates im Northern Yuca- tan’ are unsuitable for other crops. With changing political and labor conditions the henoquen 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 planta- tions deteriorate more quickly than if used. ‘The heneqnen plants de- terforate rather slowly and may re- main almost dormant, especially in the drier - sections. ' The mature leaves ready for harvest begin to dry up and become leathery and un- suitable for fiber production if not cut within a few months, and the plants, overgrown with bushes and twining vines, are succeptible to at- tacks of fungi and insects. They are not lost, as organized effort was made in'1922 and 1923 to rehablli- ate the plantations and considerable progress had been made, when the work was interrupted by ‘the revolu- tion in December, 1923. ‘The exports of the henequen trom Yucatan in 1923 amounted to 612.- 745 bales, compared with 461,515 bales in 1922 and 565,424 im 1921. Exports \were cut off during January and February in 1924, but an open market was declared Feb, 28 by the ae 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 Bast Africa and Java, and abaca and manila maguey from the Phillippine Islands, there seems little danger of a serious shortage of fiber for binder twine during the coming sea- son, provided there are no further intérruptions in the production and exportation of henequen from Yuca- tan. 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 produetion when the plants now in the producing stage die out and there are not enough new ones to take their places. If normal: plant- ing shoald be resumed during the rainy season of the coming summer, it would be six, or seven years be- fore these new plant&could produce fiber, says the department, ‘Telephones in Argentina Argintina ranks first in South America in telephone service, ac- cording to a statement by the Na- tional Superintendent of —Tele- phones made on April 10, 1924.

It was during that time that st ‘was reported in the local papers that 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 tho same building. This aroused the resent- ment of our citizens which, together with his dillydallying tactics in the Fulton school case, brought about his defeat for re-election to the of- fice of common pleas judge. In this case, as the readers of The Gazette will recall, the attempt was made to establish a separate (‘jim-crow") school by the device of removing the white children from the school. The protests, made by our people, being ignored, the C. R. P. League was or- ganized’ and injunction proceedings Degun. . Notwithstanding the suit was filed in September and a_tem- porary injunction asked of Judge Geiger against the continuance of the school under that arrangement, it was not until just a few days be- fore the election that year, that what purported to be an injunction was {s- sued. There was a suspicion that this delay was in the interest of Supt. McCord andgghose in favor of the scheme who were making every effort to break up the resistance that was preventing the suecess 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 any pretense of sincerity, such as closing the school until after the election. the result might have been different as that hope was expressed by Judge Gelger's Afro-Amertean Supporters, some of whom were ac- tive In the opposition to the “Jim lerow” school. education and training of the youth of Ohio.” Mr. Shanklin says, and Yery 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.

He was so poor that he and his wife could afford little besides potatoes for their daily diet. For the room which both of them occupied Lenin paid the cobbler $5.50 a month. Now, eight years later, the cob- bier still sits mending shoes in his dirty little shop beneath the room which Lenin once occupied. To his dull mind only the faintest glim- merings have come of what his lodger did in the world after leav- ing 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 revolutions in history. It occurred to a newspaper cor- respondent at Zurich a short time ago to find out just where and how Lenin lived at Zurich Immeai- ately before he returned to Russia and put himself at the head of the Bolshevist revolution. ‘The task ‘was not easy; the ragged and hun- gry Russian’ refugee made little fmpression on Zurich, when he liv- ed his hand-to-mouth life there. Eventually, however, the corre- spondent learned from the Zurich police that Nikolai Lenin had lived {n 1916, at No. 16 on a street call- ed the’ Splegelzasse. Thither he turned his stops. What he found at “No 16 Spicgelgasse” he de- seribed for the newspaper in Buda- pest, the capital of Hungary, for which he worked, and from Buda- pest his description has found its Bars aara| pewaoaner: here SuPer in, Cobbler Is Uninterested ‘The street where Lenin once liv- ed is a small, dirty alley, at most three yards wide, where’ unkempt children tumble about at play.

SHANKLIN “Dak directors and cabinet min- fsters 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, on which he was sewing, the cob- bler answered the journalist's ques- tions In-an abseniminded way—as if they did not really interest him. “Yes.” he said, “Lenin ived 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. “T never had the slightest idea who he really was. He never spoke about himself, Neatly every day he received ten or @ dozen letters. When some of these let- ders came addressed to, Lenin, in- tead of ‘“Ulianoff” he told me that he Was a political refugee “Once he told me that he wrote articles for some Russian paper. Beyond that T never learned any- thing 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 mostly for thelr midday meal. For the room which he and his’ wife occupied Lenin paid me_ twenty-eight francs @ month. I wanted thirty francs a month, but he beat me-down two francs.” ‘The journalist asked to see the room occupied eight years ago by ‘Lenin and his wife. The cobbler pointed the way to it. The visitor 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 which paved 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, sald the cobbler, in his ab- sent-minded, half-interested way, were foreigners — at least he thought so.
