New York City...Battling Skii has been matched to meet Paul Berlennbach at Madison Square Garden in twelve rounds, March 16. Delaney Kayes Tiger Flowers. New York City...Jack Delaney, Bridgeport (Conn.) light heavyweight, knocked out Tiger Flowers of Atlanta in the fourth round at Madison Square Garden, last week Thursday night. It was Delaney's second knockout victory over the Tigers in two months. A right upper arm, the same blow that killed the former champion, was victory over Flowers in two rounds on Jan. 16, dropped him for the count. The knockout came after Flowers had gone to the floor without a count and staggered into a neutral corner as Delaney resumed the attack. Flowers was the aggressor, using a slashing right to the body which, however, failed to bother the Bridgeport man seriously. Delaney followed his customary method of standing away and sharpshooting for the body and head Additional Local As we go to press, the death of Charles Martin, who was recently operated on at Lakeside hospital, is announced, "Charley," as he was familiarly addressed by his host of acquaintances, was an old resident, well-known, and for years very active in the Caterers' Association.

The cold weather, doubleday, was what permitted only about 100 persons to attend the forum meeting at Mt. Zion Cong. church, Sunday afternoon, to hear Prof. R. G. Jones, supt. of the local public schools. "Intelligence, regardless of race, color or creed, is the basis of classification in the Cleveland public schools," he said. "It is peculiar neither to the Heights nor to the Cuyahoga river valley." He was questioned regarding the recent questionnaire given pupils in some schools in which their race and color were recorded. Supt. Jones explained that the Information was asked on behalf of a Jewish organization. He said that in the future such information would be obtained in the form of flashcards in this case were destroyed to avoid any misunderstanding, he said. In answer to further questioning, he said that neither our pupils nor our teachers were discriminated against in the Cleveland schools. "The aim of the schools is to classify students according to their ability to learn specific things," he said in his address. "The things which we desire are the things which we are best able to learn. For this reason, girls submit themselves more readily to school life in the earlier years. A girl tries expression thru her wits and beauty, a boy thru his physical prowess." According to Supt. Jones, the schools' biggest problem is to absorb the many children coming here from continental Europe. More and more the work of the school does not diminish. It is this condition that the schools must meet, he said, and the answer seems to be specialized education. "Nothing can be more of a hell on earth than doing the kind of work you do not want to do," said Supt. Jones in speaking of vocational guidance. THE U. S. SENATE KILLS "Jim Crow" Bathing Beach Scheme And Withholds Appropriation For The One For the Other Group. Washington, D. C.—By a vote of 53 to 22 the Senate, last week, adopted a motion withholding the appropriation for a "jim crow" bathing beach on the west shore of the tidal basin. In doing this, the Senate reversed its action of a year ago, when an appropriation for the beach was passed. The Senate also decided to withhold an appropriation for maintenance of the white bathing beach. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was then passed and went to conference without provision for a bathing beach for either class or group. The motion to withhold the appropriation for the beach for whites and to return to the U. S. Treasury the $50,000 appropriated, last year, for a "jim crow" beach was adopted by a viva voce vote. Senator Phipps, of Colorado, pointed out that if a bathing, place was not provided for our people of this city they would insist on using the beach for whites (which should be for all). The proposed new beach, he said, "would be screened and would not be offensive." This, mind you, was said in the U. S. Senate at the capital of boasted "free (?) America" which has as president a yankee Republican by the name of Calvin Coolidge! It has reference, too, to World War veterans and those of all our other wars who still live in this city and the District of Columbia.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE MISERABLE ROBERTS BILL OHIO KU KLUXERS' ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE MEASURE Now Pending in the State Legislature—Delegations From Various Parts of the State Oppose It, Tuesday Morning, Before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. (Special to The Gazette.) Columbus, O.—Called here by Representative Harry E. Davis of Cleveland, several delegations of our people appeared before the judiciary committee of the house, Tuesday morning, against the Ku Klux Klan anti-intermarriage bill introduced in the Legislature, some time ago, by Representative Roberts of that K. K. K. ridden city, Youngstown. Cleveland, Cincinnati, this city and others of the state were represented by some of our leading citizens who with Representative Davis did splendid work in helping the members of that committee to see the great harm the bill as a law would not only on our people but those of the other group or race. scoundrel, knowing this, would make our girls and women the main objects of their attacks and down would go the moral status of the race because it is determined most largely, if not entirely, by our women. What that means to any race even the fool understands. Our ministers and churches thruout Ohio The bill forbids the marriage of whites with "the Mongolian or yellow, Ethiopian or black, Indian or red, and the Malay or brown race." This, of course, is in direct conflict with the Hon. Harry C. Smith's civil rights law which has been adjudged good law and upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court ever since its enactment in 1894, thirty-one years ago. The robbers bill provides a penalty of not less than $500 and not more than $1,000 and imprisonment of not less than three months or more than nine months, or both (fine and imprisonment). For those who would solemnize such marriages, or knowingly issue a license for such, the following penalty is provided: A fine of not less than $100 and imprisonment of not less than one month nor more than three months, or both. The thing that most concerns our people, as a result of the introduction of this malicious bill, is the fact that as a law it would HARM OUR GIRLS AND WOMEN MOST! Those who would be so unfortunate as to be taken advantage of by any white youth or man, could not compel him to give their child a name which only marriage can do.

She probably was the oldest, woman in Ohio and one of the oldest in the country. Mrs. Calvin was born on a plantation in Georgia and worked for nearly fifty years in the cotton fields before Lincoln's proclamation set her free. Her first husband was sold and she never heard of him again. Her second husband died, 27 years ago; age 95. According to her daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Watkins, with whom she lived here, Mrs. Calvin never 'attempted to account for her longevity.

BISHOPS URGE COOLIDGE To Withdraw American Marines From Haiti—Cite Disregard of Amendments to U. S. Washington, D. C. — Urging immediate removal of American marines from Haiti, bishops of the A. M. E. Zlon Church have just issued an address to the country. They state that Haitians have shown themselves as capable of self-government as Mexicans, Brazilians, Italians or Spaniards. They regarded color as the only reason for continuation of troops in the Haitian republic. The report also suggests a broader concept of the work of African redemption. Concerning the sending of Afro-Americans to Africa as missionaries, it states that "they are the one group who go without the suspicion of being exploiters of these people and their lands." Citing the prohibition amendment, the present disregard for inhibitions of the Constitution was traced to disregard for the war amendments affecting our people. The report declares: "We must come back to the Constitution in all points or it is useless to punish men for breaking it at some special point." Stole The Lodge's Money? New York City—That the funds of Imperial Lodge of Elks have been stolen for years by its financial secretary, Heison N. Stiles, and that the loss during the period of five years and six months that he has been financial secretary has averaged between $2,500 and $3,000 yearly, or more than $12,000, the conclusions reached by the accountants now going over the lodge's books.

"Selling stock," stealing church and lodge money are entirely too popular triplets with too many of our group. --- The two greatest and blackest splotches on the escutcheon of this country, today, is the American mal-administration of affairs in Haiti and federal segregation of Afro-American employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service. Write the President, your congressman and U. S. senators about it. --- Frederick Douglass was a great big man, mentally and physically. It is the merest nonsense to compare with him any other man of the race who has lived in this country from the very beginning. And we have in mind as we write: Crispus Attucks, America's first martyr; Wm. Wells Brown, John M. Langston, our most scholarly statesman; Booker T. Washington and many others who have done exceptional things, accidentally or knowingly. Henry "Link" Johnson, Republican national committeeman from "Georgah, sah", who camps on the steps of the White House, these days, looking for jobs for his white constituents in Georgia, took Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. Church to see President Coolidge, recently, to tell him that "we want to hold responsible offices in the government service" and why. So "Link" needs help to get a decent job for our people from the President. Well, he will need a whole lot more help before Vermont "lily-white" icicle thaws sufficiently to grant his request even if supplemented by a bishop's plea. SECRETARY HUGHES' LITTLE JOKE. In a recent speech to the National Republican club' of New York City, Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes said, among other things, speaking of this country's foreign relations: If we have a mission, it can be prosperous only in the spirit of reasonableness. We are constantly seeking to promote peace in this hemisphere, but this can be done only as we convince that the people of our sister republics that we respect our independence and that we are ready with wise, friendly and impartial counsel." The American administration of the affairs of Porto Rico, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo and Haiti, all in the interest of American bankers, has shown little if any of the "spirit of reasonableness" and is a passing strange way of "seeking to promote peace in this hemisphere". It has most certainly served to "convince the people of our sister republics" that we DO NOT "respect them" and that we will "threaten their independence" whenever this country feels that it is to its bankers' financial or other interests to do so. No wonder they will have none of our so-called "wise, friendly and impartial counsel". The resolution introduced by Senator Ladd of North Dakota, which if adopted by the U. S. senate would forbid the U. S. government to compel its armed forces to compel any other government to pay debts due to private American citizens, ought to be favorably acted upon at once. STOCK-SELLING ORGIES. Editor Ben J. Davis of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, announces Heman E. Perry's resignation from the presidency of the Standard Life Insurance Co. and from the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Citizena Trust Co. Atlanta's leading race business enterprises until re- David Seattle, Grandson of First Chie Seattle, Now Heads Remnants of Snobomish People. Seattle, Wash.—He is a king of the remnants of a great race now scattered to the winds—David Seattle of the Slohomish tribe. Lean as a wolf was the king, and footsore with fur travels, when he entered the office of the Seattle Star, asking that paper to help him in locating his widely dispersed tribesfolk. Until a few moons ago he did not know he was king, this stolid Indian lad, who had been placed in St. Joseph's School in Tacoma when a baby. He did not remember when he came or who brought him there. On the register he is simply "David Seattle." No height of royal inheritance appeared to mar his democratic playing and boyish quarrelling with school companions. Assertions of kishup would only have served to call for derision from his playmates, who were certain that royalty rode on magnificent chargers and was heralded with blaring trumpets. Charlie David Seattle, only living son of Chief Seattle L, waits for death. He is very old and his work is done. There came to him not long ago in Shoamish an Indian of another tribe "I met one of your people in Seattle," he confided. "His man: is like yours—David Seattle." The old man, strangely excited, came to the city and found David. "Where?" he asked, "were you born? And who was your father?" "I do not know," said the young Indian. "I was put in St. Joseph's School when a baby." And he told the old patriarch he all knew, which was little enough, though it served. "It was I who put you there," said Charlie David Seattle. "Your father was dead some time before. I took you from your dead mother's arms. You are the oldest son of the oldest son of Chief Seattle. You are the head of the Snohomish people." It was thus plain David Seattle learned he was king. Chief David Seattle has been visiting as many of his people as he has been able to locate. Sometimes he bought railroad tickets. At other times he stole rides on freight trains. And often he walked. He went to Oregon, wandering east of the Cascades, journeying to remote corners of the Olympic Peninsula. Finally he reached the northern end of British Columbia. Wherever he heard of Snohomish Indians, there he went. 'HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob durate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. "There are," he said, "2,300 of my people left. Of these I have visited 2,000. They were glad to see me." Illinois Boy Sets the Fashion Which Is Now Being Followed by Jerseyville, Ill.—In the bottom lands along the Illinois River, where the wild ginseng grows, the hunters of tax medical plant have dogs trained to search for it. The first to employ the services of a dog was a boy named Fred Springman. Ginseng is one of the most valuable of the herbs that grow in the woods. The roots are used by the Chinese, who employ it in the treatment of many aliments. Ginseng is also in great demand in our own country, for medical use, and is one of the most costly of all the trees employed. You Can Have Beautiful Hair SPECIAL gentlemen do to sit remarka of H.J.

Perry is no longer connected in any way with either the company or the bank. The former is now owned by a white insurance company, and possibly the latter, too. Perry and his immediate associates in the Standard, who controlled it and the bank, are responsible for this loss to the race, it is said. He was also president of the Service Company, a holding company, which controlled practically all of the leading Afro-American business enterprises in Atlanta. This position he seeks to retain altho, according to Editor Davis, "it is insolvent and its stock without value". The Independent also says: "Mr. Perry believes that he can rebuild the Service Company and save something for the people who invested large sums of money in its STOCK under his advice and leadership". The Service Co., it seems, was dragged down with the "death" of the Standard. Referring to Perry, Editor Davis says: "We have always had faith in his ability to promote, but little in his ability to invest or to operate after promotion". This note of warning the Independent might have sounded before it was too late and thus have saved hundreds of our people of his city many thousands of hard-earned dollars they were-induced by Heman E. Perry and his associates to invest in Atlanta's greatest stock-selling orgy which they inaugurated. There is a lesson in the foregoing for all of our people of the country, particularly those here in the North where the southern stock-selling craze has been rampant for several years. RACE PREJUDICEI "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

C.—The payment of $24 in exchange for the magic rites of a negro conjurer has failed to bring a promised fortune to Mrs. John Knox, an aged widow. The negro appeared at Mrs. Knox's home and told her there was hidden beneath her house a hand- som, fortune of $5,000 in gold, all of which belonged to her if she would only accept it. The negro claimed to be the possessor of a wonderful magic power, which over-night would bring the gold from its hiding into the hands of the woman, and he charged only $24 —all the old woman had—for his services. Since then Mrs. Knox has seen neither the gold nor the negro, she told the police. Unusual Accident Is Reported from Dodge City.

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., 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 Tutt. 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 them to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an 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 out by a embracing ex-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 tenacious. Our Republique president. Only last year a colored girl appeared after having 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 the special favorite of Secretrate theological President. He halls from the most Carolina in the home of the most 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. (Spcial 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 caferla 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 clerks, and for the pity of as though they were The justice, sings all the more when they reflect 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, comfört a table 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 is even more pronounced. And 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 incurred a police charge the day before it was to come oh, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks gee 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 training of dwarfs. The black workers had to form a union which meets 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 scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior 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, but there are a few tables in an area of the warehouse. Our employees I am glad to say that few, 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 or 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, the law requires that employees pass 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 situation, and 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 arrested for taking a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from 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 which was immediately dismissed. By now the police dismissed 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 dentist at the conditions complained of exalted patients, names of my informants. I knew the few informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the inhabitants cannot hear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special To The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroes young colored women of the past whose positions as a result of their service as a colleague wife of Senator Robert La Roche 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 discoured, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, aswald Garrison Villard, who 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 segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait to 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 Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, 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. Our people are still hoping for the issuance 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 President'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 Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history, the most important 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, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing the thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are scarce there that they can't be noticed there is the same general complaint that among our clerks and other employee clerks is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotion are due; ability to go so far and no farer The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilette, 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 enclose themselves at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent 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 deepest creature in the preserve creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries 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 the abolition of the division result in the abolition of the division, so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take 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 Washington, D. C.—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 bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the army and the formal bureau. In the former, beaver board walls 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 inform the public of the instances here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureau listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employees. Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still being held to the age of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.)

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 person on behalf of the 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 takes from officers of justice by a mob, armed with whip, muskets 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. 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.

If any of the minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter.

A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. g. representative of victim of lynchung bury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. inst another county. 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 gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or disurse such mob (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homelife or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concessioner, 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 denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the laws of the city shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Mislied 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 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: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I want to thank you for 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 to complain to the LAW OF OHO IS UNDER PROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. ulation! Reading it, B ter Reading HALL OF SHELLS DREAM Half a Million Specimens in Great Collection Placed on View at American Museum Washington, D. C.—Grottoes of the sea have furnished forth the hall of shells just opened in the American Museum of Natural History, which is the setting of some of the most beautiful specimens which have ever been shown. Everybody loves shells. You may remember them on the walnut whatnot at home, and how the great ocean roared in their depths. Perhaps they were on the marble-topped table, a relic of the bridal tour of Fa and Ma to Niagara Falls or Atlantic City. There are 15,000 varieties of shells on view in the newly designed cases, and it is estimated that the individual specimens counting the great conchs and the tiny things poured out of vials number half a million. There are many specimens of unusual beauty brought from the Indian and the Pacific oceans. Here are to be seen the polished valves of the pearl oyster, used in making of paper knives and card trays, and such, and also many fine examples of the American mussel shells which serve in the making of pearl buttons. There are the iridescent turbo shells in much request as lamp shades. There are some exceptionally fine specimens of orange cowries, as well as cones and volutes. Some of the shells are prepared in cross sections in order to show how the animal who lived in that structure had his rooms divided. There are every variety of clam shells and of oysters included in this assemblage. The hall of shells includes several great collections which have been in the possession of the museum for many years. The first is that gathered by Dr. John C. Jay, a physician of this city, and also a conchologist of note, whose catalogue, appearing in 1835, made for him a high scientific reputation. William Haines, one of the old merchants of New York, gave his specimens. There is an East Indian collection which was gathered by Prof. Albert S. Pickmore. Frederick A. Constable also gave some important shells. The museum has been collecting shells of its own account for years. CAN A PUP INHERIT A KINK IN HIS TAIL? Rabbit Hound's Ownership is Disputed Because of a Marcel Twist in His Wingles Atlantic City, N. J.—Deciding that a pup could inherit a kink in its tail from a similar peculiarity attached to its father, no matter if the wager did happen to receive the twist through an accident after "dad" had reached his majority, District Court Judge Frank Smathers, after most careful consideration of the unique problem, awarded Elmer D. Sooy, of this city, a rabbit hound pup, to which both Sooy, and Thomas Hudson, of Pleasantville, claim ownership. During the hearing of the case Sooy trotted in a putative papa hound which had an odd curl in its wagger. Under cross-examination he testified that the peculiar kink was there because a third-rail trolley had run over it. The pup happened to have a similar Marcel to its tail. Hudson, on the other hand, led in another supposed pop hound, which had blotches on its flanks identical to those that marked the pup, and said it was this dog's offspring. It was too much for the court to decide in one sitting, but the next day after his honor had spent his evening at home pondering over canine spots and tails, Soo got the pup. The animal is worth $50, but the two men have spent more than three times that amount in their dispute over it, and Hudson says he will appeal and spend as much more, if necessary, to win. Freak Poultry in Kentucky Central City, Ky.-J. D. Heck of Drakesboro has a gander which was hatched in 1851 and is still up and about his regular routine of business. The gander had a hole punched through his foot many years ago, so there is no chance of mistaken identity. This gander has for a playmate a goose which was hatched in 1884. Many of Mr. Heck's neighbors know that his fowls are as old as is claimed. Mr. R. W. Sheogh has a chicken which is not a chicken, because it is half guinea. The combination is a strange one, and the product looks the part. Mr. Sheogh enjoys showing his guinea-chicken to his friends. There was recently hatched in the hen house of Mr. W. H. Clarke a chicken which had four perfectly formed legs. This curiosity did not live, but was preserved in alcohol. Feather of Quail Docs X-Ray Work While hunting in the Sierra Nevada mountains recently Dr. Barton J. Powell, of Stockton, Cal, met an old Indian who proved to him that an ordinar' mountain quail feather held before the eyes serves the same purpose as a powerful X-ray machine.
