Atlanta, Ga.—The Southern Life Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, and the Standard Life of Atlanta, were merged here, Jan. 15. By the terms of agreement the Southern will exchange four shares, valued at 5.50 for each share of the Standard. The Southern also agreed to take up the obligations of The Service Company. It was brought out in the meeting that the Standard Life Company, Heman E. Perry, president, was greatly impaired, estimates running from three to four hundred thousand dollars. Jno. R. Pinkett, director of agencies, and David D. Jones, secretary, resigned. Bishop R. E. Jones also resigned from the Board of Directors. Pinkett and Jones are St. Louisians. Jones was former secretary of Pine St. Y. M. C. A., while Pinkett was a teacher in Sumner High school. It will be remembered that the trouble and financial difficulties or the Standard were first brought to light following the alleged purchase of the Mississippi Life by the Standard a little more than a year ago. It was said at that time that the Standard's finances were impaired to the extent that it was forced to resell the Mississippi Life to the Southern Life, the white company which now has charge of the Standard's affairs. Great hope was entertained by the stockholders as well as our people generally when a short time ago it was stated that Eastern capitalists, headed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, had arranged to finance the Standard out of its difficulties, but for some mysterious reason, at the last moment, this assistance was refused. This, it is said, badly affected the morale of those struggling against great odds, and as a result, the same Southern Life that took the Mississippi off the Standard's hands about a year ago, now takes over the affairs of the Standard in the form of a "merger." Aurora Six Wilborforce Students Arrests Six Wilberforce Students. Cincinnati, O.—Six students of Wilberforce University were arrested and arraigned at Dayton on warrants issued by the U. S.

Miss Williams is a jazz singer for the Columbia Thono- Leona Williams. graph Company making Columbia records, and is a most popular artist. Among her latest song successes are "It Makes No Difference Now" "Tense and Squeeze Man of Mine" "Get to Cool My Doggies Now" and "You Don't Believe I Love You" Miss Williams has made a big hit in Columbia burlesque, and her syncopated singing is sure to delight Columbia audiences, next week. She will offer a number of her successes as her contribution to the success of next week's attraction—Dave Marlon and His Own Show. Mr. Marlon has been famous in Columbia burlesque for the last twenty years for his famous delineation of "Snuffy the Cabman". This year's show is entirely new. Mr. Marlon will be supported by 15 other principal entertainers, headed by Josephine Sabel, Miss Richie Covey, Irene Cornell, Frank DuTell, Charles "Tramp" McNally, Winnie, Clifton, Dave Burt and Ed Begley. There will also be a chorus of more than ordinary attraction, in size, charm and ability to enliven the musical numbers. Memphis Physician Sold Done Memphis, Teen—Dr. A. L. Saunders was convicted in Federal court, last week Wednesday, on a charge of selling $25 worth of narcotic drugs to C. C. Harrison. According to the testimony during the trial it appears that the police department set a trap and enaped the physician. Big State Conference—Fair Share of All Civic Advantages in The South Asked—Dr. Moton DeEvers Principal Address—Program Laid Out. Louisville, Ky.—The fifth annual state interracial conference, held in this city in December, went on record with a vigorous recommendation that our people in the South be given: "A fair share of the civic advantages maintained by taxation or controlled by law, such as parks, swimming pools, libraries, hospitals, and penal institutions, and on railroads, and that a committee consisting of both groups be appointed in each city to suitably appear before the proper authorities to urge such provision." Dr. Robert R. Morton. The conference gave large attention to the need of more adequate facilities for education in this sec. recommending the enactment of a law to equalize school advantages and taking that an "A. grade, teacher's college be established. The conference pieded itself also to work for the establishment of a state institution for feasible-minded children, endorsed the movement to open the wards of our public hospitals to the practice of our physicians and nurses, and recommended that the study of race history and achievement be made a part of our public school course. The meeting was attended by about two hundred professional, educational and civic leaders from over the state, the two races being about equally represented. Many able speeches were delivered on education, health, public utilities, the ballot, and other timely subjects, the oldest frankness being encouraged with regard to conditions and attitudes. The principal address, was that of Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute who made a powerful plea for justice and friendliness before a mixed audience that filled one of the largest white churches of this city. He was given a most appreciative hearing. In his annual report, Dr. James Bond, director of the work in Kentucky, expressed the conviction that conditions and attitudes are steadily improving in this state, in spite of occasional apparent backsets. SMALLEST BABY HA5 FOUNTAIN PEN LEG Houston, Texas. — Herman L. Saunders, (white), word's tiniest baby, is living after two weeks in an incubator swathed in blankets with a hot water bottle at its feet. The baby's head is the size of a silver dollar, arms the size of a pencil and legs about the size of a fountain pen. The whole infant could be well placed in a cigar box. Year Book And Bulletins Free! Washington, D. C.—Senator Frank B. Willis will be glad to send at copy of the interesting Year Book of Agriculture for 1923, recently issued, to those who are interested. Just write him a card to Washington requesting the book. The Senator will also be glad to send a list of the valuable Farmers' Bulletins, from which selections can be made, on request. Honorary Appointments. Flint, Mich.—On taking office the first of the year, Glen Smith, the newly elected sheriff of Glencoe county, appointed five Afro-Americans "special" deputies. They are Chas, H. Wifkins, J. L. Leach, Edward Newman; John P. Bryant and A. N. Davison. Letters appealing to ministers of 283 Cleveland churches to present brief outlines of the record and services of the Phillips Wheatley association from their pulpits. Sunday, were sent, last week Friday, by the association's campaign committee. The drive for funds toward a $600,000 endowment for a larger building opens, this week Friday. The maintenance budget of the association for 1924 shows the Community Fund supplied $42,420 of a total of $73,859.08, and $31,475.08 was received from room rent, board and educational classes attended by our girls. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Separate or "Jim Crow" Schools Illegal in the State of Ohio—Dayton School Board Being Assisted By "Jim Crow" Negroes, Some Professional Men, Toadies. Layton, O. Petition for a writ of mandamus obliging the Dayton board of education to admit our pupils on an equal footing, with all other pupils at the Garfield public school was filed in common pleas court, last week Friday, by Mr. Earl Reese, 227 Norwood Ave., this city, through his attorney John C. Shoa, Esq. The petition is part of a movement to force the school board to obey the law and abandon the present system of maintaining, separate or "jim crow" classes for our pupils at the Garfield school. In his petition Mr. Reese says he is the father of two children of school age and that he presented them to the principal of the Garfield school, with the request that they be a part of it, building now being financially funded exclusively for white children. The request was refused, he says, and they were admitted to the school only on the condition that they be assigned to the "jim crow" buildings now being unlawfully used for our children only. Maintenance of separate buildings, segregating the pupils, is in violation of the state laws, Mr. Reese charges, and he is right, too! The board of education and Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of the Dayton public schools, are named defendants. There are nearly 600 of our children "jim crowed" at the Garfield School. The foregoing, supplemented by the school-board's circulation of petitions throughout the west side of the city to get more supporters, among our people, for its "jim-crow" program, with the promise of a new "jim-crow" school building, has renewed the school-fight, which the loyal members of the race here propose to wage until victory perches upon our banner just as it did in the Springfield school-fight of a couple of years ago. What complicates the situation here and makes it all the more heart-rending is the fact that some of our professional men (doctors and dentists, not lawyers) are toadlying to the "jim-crow" Negroes who are aiding the school-board. Nearly all of these are newcomers to-Davton from the South in the last six or eight years. Surfaced with color-linea, segregation and all other kinds of "jim-crow" where they came from, one would naturally expect them to oppose all such things here where they have a chance to get rid of most if not all of them. It is said that at least one of these doctors of color has secured the promise of a local member (white) of the Ohio legislature to introduce a bill, which if canceled into law will permit the legal establishment of "jim-crow" schools in the state. Ir. Reese and his assistants, loyal members of the race, are being blit- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS CLIPPINGS Minneapolis is the home town of more railroad porters and train men than any other city of its size in the country. Some of them travel to the four limits of the country.—St. Anthony Baptist church, Dr. E. L. Fuller pastor, has closed one of its most successful revivals, under that able evangelist, Dr. H. C. Cunningham 50 Chicago. It lasted ten days. Dr. Fuller has done splendid work here—building a beautiful church.—At the organization of the ministers' and laymen's association, Jan. 11, the following were the speakers: Rev's. Gamble, Crowder, Lawrence, Stors, Drs. Carr, Cunningham and the local representative of The Gate. The following officers were elected; Rev E. L. Fuller, prey, Gamble, vice-pres.; Rev Wm. Stors, see.; Rev. Crowder, treas.; and Dr. Carr, counselor. The second meeting of the organization was held at Border M. E. church, Sunday evening.—Gale P. Hilyer, one of our prominent attorneys of this city, won a manslaughter case, recently, which was in a local court for five consecutive days. The jury was five consecutive hours. Some victory! Atty. Hilyer is a graduate of U. of M. Law school.—At the Ministerial Alliance in St. Pete A. M. E. church, Jan. 14, several interesting subjects were discussed and plans for the new year outlined. Nearly all of our-local ministers were in attendance except Dr. Wm. Jackson, pastor of Zion Baptist church, who has pneumonia.

As a bait to the latter, the school-board holds up the employment of colored teachers in "jim-crow" schools. They Ignore the violation of the principle involved and the consequent vital injury to the rights of our people done by "jim-crow" or separate schools. Then, too, there are those traitors who affected to be against "jim-crow" schools in the public meetings, but who are secretly helping the other side. Mr. Reese and his supporters have the law on their side, and yet may find it necessary to secure the assistance of that exceptionally able Springfield attorney (whito), a former member of the state supreme court, who directed the Springfield fight so ably that the judges of the courts in that city who rendered favorable decisions only to refuse to insist upon their being promptly carried out, were not able finally to get away with that sort of thing. It was in 1889 that Bishop B. W. Arnett (deceased) of the A. M. E. Church, secured the passage of the Ely-Arnett bill, wiping out the remnants of the "Black Laws of Ohio", one of which legalized separate or "jim-crow" schools. It is this step in the advance which local "jim-crow" Negroes, assisting the local school board, are seeking to wipe out and thus force the race in Ohio to take a 36 year step backward! It must not, it will not be done. Ohio Afro-Americans, outside of the city of Dayton as well as the loyal-members of the race in the "Gem City", will see to this. Mrs. Julia Higgins, "Ernest E. Johnson" and other advocates of "jim-crow" schools, to the contrary, notwithstanding. ELAINE RIOT PRISONERS FREED AT LAST. Little Rock, Ark.—The last of the prisoners jailed in connection with the Elaine, Ark., riot of 1919 have been released. Twelve of our farmers were saved from death and sixty-seven, who had been sentenced to life or long-term imprisonment, have been freed. 'The famous "Arkansas Case" was the direct result of the peonage prevailing in Arkansas, at that time. Negroes were hunted and 250 shot down like wild beasts; in the Arkansas cane-brakes, because they had organized to employ a lawyer in an endeavor to obtain settlements and statements of accounts from their landlords under the share-cropping system. In the farcical and summary trials, which followed, torture was employed to make our men testify against each other. Vera Cruz, Mexico.—A telegram from Mexico City, Jan. 16, said that Mrs. Leonadra Cruz, (white), wife of a forester at Chapultepec, gave birth to 12 dead children Wednesday, Jan. 14, 25. Mrs. Cruz is still in a serious condition and may die at any moment, as she suffered intensely. Besides the physician who attended her, six Red Cross nurses and a priest lent aid. The physicians were unable to explain the phenomenon. It is the first time in Mexican medical history that a women has given birth to so many children.

SATURDAY, JANUARY, 24, 1925. Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Pittsburgh, speaking at Atlantic City, N. J., before the closing session, last week Thursday, of the home missions council and Council of Women for Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, said: "The greatest single work that America can do for the evangelization of the world would be to evangelize herself." TRUTH* Bishop; nothing but the truth. Over the strenuous protests of our people of North Carolina, President Coolidge has appointed Col. Ike Meekins, (white), U. S. judge of the eastern district of that state. Meekins, when a candidate for judge during the recent campaign, was loud mouthed in his opposition to "Negro" suffrage. Is Coolidge "running true to form"? He certainly is. Somebody ought to tell City Manager W. R. Hopkins and Bishop Joseph Schrembs that the bad members (male or female), of our group, are not any worse nor any more numerous, proportionately, than those of any other group in the community. The member or members of the race who have made them believe otherwise are the ones to blame, rather than the city manager and the bishop. STANDARD LIFE—SERVICE CO. FIASCO. According to reports sent out from Atlanta, The Standard Life Ins. Co. and The Service Co., of that city, which controls about all our people's worth-while business enterprises in Atlanta and several elsewhere in the South, have been "gobbled up" by (southern money-lenders) The Southern Ins. Co. (white). This it seems is the direct result of the handling of The Standard Life Ins. Co.'s affairs by President Heman E. Perry and his associates who were in control. Perry is said to be the authority for the statement that the Standard Life closed, last year, with 200 active agents in 13 states, who were sending in an average of $1,000,000 worth of business, monthly. He is also quoted as saying that The Standard Life has $27,000,000 worth of business in force on the lives of 30,000 "Negroes", scattered through the South. Just think of it! No wonder Julius Rosenwald and the eastern capitalists, who were coming to the relief of The Standard Life, several weeks ago, backed away from it in a hurry, when such reports, as the foregoing, were handed to them. If there is any one thing more than another that is hurting the race's so-called business enterprises, it is just such blow-bag, wind-jamming, bragging and boasting as the foregoing. It is said that The Southern Ins. Co. will keep in control of The Standard Life its present officers and board of directors—that is those who have not resigned. THE DAYTON SCHOOL FIGHT. The unfortunate elements in the school trouble at Dayton are: first, "Negroes" from the South that have settled in that city in recent years who are so used to segregation they apparently do not want to get away from it; second, professional "Negroes" from the South and members of the race here in the North who are toadying to them. Regardless of the great harm that will be dohe to the rights of our people in every way in Dayton, they would saddle the "jim-crow" school on themselves and others to benefit themselves, financially; to please a prejudiced school-board, and to make a few places for "colored" teachers. One would think that persons who suffered from all kinds of "jim-crow" segregation in the South to such an extent that nearly all of them were forced to leave that section of the country and come north, would be extremely active in getting rid of all color-lines instead of increasing them. * Regardless of the position taken in the school matter at Dayton by those for and against a "jim-crow" school, it is up to our people through the state to see that the present legislature does not change Ohio laws so as to permit the legal existence of separate or "jim-crow" schools. It is almost inconceivable that even ignorance, duplicity and sycophancy can furnish so many people in any community so blind to their vital interests along a citizen-rights' line. The segregation of our children in the schools of any community means segregation and colorless galore for our people in that community. Prejudiced whites are quick to take advantage of all such vitally harmful precedents, especially when brought about directly or indirectly by our people. It is entirely within the power of the loyal members of the race in Dayton and elsewhere in Ohio to continue the school laws of the state as they are and thus make it impossible to establish separate schools that are legal for any class or group in this state. We MUST have an organization that will work in harmony with our member of the Ohio assembly. The sooner this is effected the better. PRIME SPORT NEWS "All Blacks" Champions Champions Toulouse, France - The New Zealand "All Black" Rugby football team, Sunday defeated team representing France, 30 to 6. Thus "All Blacks" finished triumphantly their tour of the British Isles and France. Sunday's was their thirtieth straight victory. The Cleveland Browns The chaotic condition of things, made by the recent announcement of former President Rube Foster, of our now defunct National Baseball League, makes very uncertain what action, if any, the Cleveland Browns organization will take for next summer. A good idea would be for the organization and our baseball representants from Pittsburgh, Columbus and two or three more cities nearby, to get together and organize a new league, selecting a man for president who is experienced, fair and above all honest. Earl Johnson To Quit Harrisonburg, Va.—R. Earl Johnson will only run one more race. He declared that following the next Masonic Marathon at Detroit, he will retire from athletics. The history of this great long distance runner is full of interesting incidents. He won two World's Olympics and has competed successfully with the best in America. In Europe, Altogether, he has appeared in 180 races and finished first, second or third in all except one. He is regarded as the best cross-country runner in America. "Tiger" Flowers "Kayoed." New York City—Jack Delaney, whose right name is Jacques Chapdelaine, knocked out "Tiger" Flowers the second round of their bout in Miami Square Garden, last week Friday night. The second round went only 45 seconds, the swift upper-cuts to the chin, the second landing as Flowers was falling from the first, finished the fight-representative of the "cracker" state (Georgia). He had fought Delaney to the ropes earlier, in the round, flooding the pale face of the tall French-Canadian with punches. "Tiger" was game and tried to stagger to his feet to continue fighting when Delaney came to his corner to shake his glove, as is the custom. There hasn't been so much excitement in the Garden since the victor knocked out that other ring sensation, Paul Berlenbach. "Tiger" had been knocked out or was times before coming East, but the victory provement, scoring half-dozen outs in recent months. He was a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting, last week Friday night. Sunday, "Tiger" was matched for a ten-round fight, Feb. 26, with Johnny Wilson, whom he defeated, several weeks ago. Flowers will next appear at Boston on Jan. 27, when he is scheduled to box ten rounds with Tommy Robson. He is matched with "Jamaica Kid" for a twelve-round contest at Dayton, Pa. The Ted. Moore-Flowers 12-round bout scheduled for the Newark, N. J. armory, Feb. 2, has been cancelled. Babe Culhan, one of the promoters, said this action was decided upon following the defeat of Flowers by Jack Delaney. Wills, Gibbons and Dempsey New York City—"Gibbons and Wills are the outstanding challengers for the title." Tex Rickard says, "If Dempsey only wants one fight next summer, I may match Gibbons and Wills. Gibbons, I know from experience, is willing to meet any man in the world." Rickard says that on his tentative program the Dempsey-Gibbons, and Dempsey-Wills bouts are the headliners. "I have to do to get those matches." Rickard said, "is to find a way to get the money to pay them. Dempsey wants a lot, but he's the champion. Gibbons and Wills always have been very reasonable. Either one of those matches, or both of them, ought to pay well." Gibbons is just as good as signed now to meet Dempsey, according to Rickard, and Dempsey is willing to take the match, although he has discussed definitely. Wills also has signed a contract that holds good for a match for the championship. At Hot Springs Announces Its Rates For K. P. Members and Others—The Drive For 50,000 New Members.

At a conference of the grand chancellors, Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 29 and 30, 1924, it was decided that a universal campaign for membership should begin, Jan. 1, 1925, and end, July 1, 1925, to add to the present membership at least fifty thousand new members.

Segregation How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is necessarily held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, colored girl appeared after being passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is likely favorite of Secretary Mollon and President Edge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings. The police whoVIDED that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation and segregation by the toilet. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the clerks to perform as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks are made to form a network which vee's regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal theme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our officers are forced to interpose positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go out of the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that, low, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting up aiding an evade of the exclusion of the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of those who were informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND O. SATURDAY, JANUARY, 24, 1925. that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this inquisitive scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government so well settled upon it, and the politicians cannot hear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) (Washerst, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing in a incumbent history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight. for democracy was at the crises. Osseo was to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Doug g as helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGRETE the teachers that they teach and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation, the injustice of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. The treasury department, according to the Presi- dent's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Banquet of 1789 had died, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, Mr. Blair has been the department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toiletries, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. The segregated clerks are forced to endure the enforcement at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, marmignant cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates with their dinners with space to spare; but, Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being in no other opportunities in this southern state, they are forced to the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION In Ten Departments of the Government Service—Nearly 500 of Our Employees Insulted And Humiliated (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—Supplementing what we wrote in The Gazette, last week, relative to Registrar of the Treasury H. V. Spielman's latest demonstration of prejudice and segregation which was exposed on the recent Armistice day, we wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureau has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the latter case, bureau staff were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O.

NIAGARA FALLS—At last a definite scheme to check the self-destruction of Niagara Falls is under consideration. It it is put through, it will diminish, if not entirely stop, the relentless creeping of the Falls toward the mouth Lake Erie. There is an old catch question as to the direction in which Niagara Falls are moving. The answer is, upstream. The water of the stream runs down, of course, like other waters, but in doing so, it digs away the rocky shelf over which it plunges. The top layer of that shelf is a deposit of limestone, hard and resistant, about eighty feet thick. Underneath it lay layers of ether rock, chiefly soft shale, on the ground away a fine bottom of the cliff, the hard top layer loses its support, and breaks down in huge fragments. Swept about in the deep pool below these serve as tools to eat the bottom shale away. The next result is that the rim of the Falls moves back at an average speed of more than two feet a year, for the Horseshoe Falls. The American Falls, which carry a shallower stream of wwater, recede less than one-third as fast. The Horseshoe itself gnaws its support from under it most rapidly in midstream, where the current runs fastest and deepest. That is why it has taken on the horseshoe form. Change Is Known. A movement of somewhat over two feet a year is fast work as motion is reckoned in geology. It means that George Washington, looking at the Horseshoe Falls, would have seen them 300 feet or so closer to the spot where the Suspension Bridge now spans the gorge. To go back a bit further, Alexander the Great, had his travels brought him to this part of the world, would have found the Falls tumbling over a ledge or a trifle down from the bridge site. One of the earlier Pharaohs would have beheld it at perhaps its most awesome stage, crashing down directly into the rapids above the Whirlpool. Measured by man's standards of forward vision, the upward creep of the falls does not threaten anything catastrophic within a time near enough to matter. At a mile every fall does not threaten the outlet of Lake Erie for some 50,000 years, by which time the dwellers on the Great Lakes would surely have had ample warning. Indeed, the action of other causes renders it exceedingly unlikely that the falls will ever complete their upward tilting of the Great Lake area, which, according to observations, is said to raise the water level at Chicago nine or ten inches a century, will begin sending Great Lake water down to the Mississippi without need of any canal in about a thousand years, and will draw all lakes above Niagara long before the falls can recede to Lake Erie. Even this much less remote inconvenience is too distant to disturb the directors of hydroelectric companies utilizing the falls. It may have some part in explaining the complaint of old lake navigators, that the waters in certain parts of the routes they navigate are becoming shallower. Much hostility to the agencies against it, Canoa Canal for drawing off water to the detriment of shipping, but part of the blame may rest on the earth itself, which has a disconcerting habit of warping.

GRACE GRAY DE LONG Miami, Florida MRS.L.S.BRADLEY 8241 Preble Ave. Cleveland, O. Has Houses For Sale or To Rent 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.

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 "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 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 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 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 child of the same age as the dependent, 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 representatives shall have a like 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 include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6282. 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 6287. 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 of the people represented such mob, 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: RS. ed. r. representative of victim of lynching,ury by mob trying to lynch another, and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. nst 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 for 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 on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty day county in failing 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 or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the court had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or person aggrieved thereby to be re-arrested 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 outey for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor The Gazette replied, calling its attention to _he 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. What had known what was going on in it then, 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. t, But Give Copy of It.
