New York City: It is said that Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons, leading heavyweight challengers, probably will be the principals in the second show at the "Yankee stadium"; ball park, staged under Rickard's direction for the benefit of the Milk fund on June 23 or 24. But Gibbons' manager now says if Dempsey selects his man for a fight before Wills that Gibbons is willing to meet Wills before he meets Dempsey. Anything, it seems, to keep Wills from whipping Dempsey, is the slogan of all his friends, including Gibbons and his manager. But the N. Y. fight commission, strange to say, does not agree with him and has ordered Dempsey to accept Wills' challenge at once or be barred from N. Y. state, as far as contests are concerned, until he does. This action on the heavyweight situation followed an unexpected shift in the organization of the commission by which James A. Farley of Stony Point, N. Y., replaced Geo. E. Brower, as chairman. Farley was elected by the votes of himself and the remaining commissioner. Wil- time. Miss Potter entertained 52 of the members of the convention.

Former Resident of Cincinnati and Member of The Ohio Legislature. Chicago, Ill.—Funeral services for the Hon. George Henry Jackson, one of our wealthiest residents, was held. Monday, in the chapel of Undertaker Charles S. Jackson, Mr. Jackson, who died, Saturday, after an illness of three years, was the father of Dr. Gordon H. Jackson, who a year ago married Miss Mae Robinson, helress, said to be our wealthiest woman in this country. The Hon. Geo. H. Jackson was born in Ontario, 79 years ago. He served four years in the Ohio legislature. His wife's father, Mr. Gordon, made a fortune in the coal business in Cincinnati. Coming to Chicago, some years ago, the deceased invested in real estate and increased the fortune. A daughter, Mrs. Helen Thorne of Chicago, survives in addition to Dr. Jackson. Mrs. Charles Robinson, E. 37th St. died, Sunday. The husband has the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends. RUBIN GOLDMARK'S A Companion Musical Classic For The Great Dvorak Work of Special Interest To Us. Ivorsak's big musical work, the third or fourth section of which is based on southern "Negro" melodies is the first pretentious musical effort of the kind so "grounded". Now it seems we have another in Rubin Goldmark's "Negro" rhapsody which was played for the first time in Cleveland, Sunday afternoon, at Maclehall hall and by the great Cleveland Symphony orchestra. Nikolai Sokoloff, conductor. Its foundation, too, are southern "Negro" melodies and naturally that gives us special interest in it. Speaking of the Goldmark rhapsody, Archie Bell (white), musical critic of a local daily paper, said in its Monday editions: "Mr. Goldmark, who had expected to come out for the premiere of his "Negro" rhapsody, telegraphed that he was ill. This work has been establishing something of a vogue with the conductors of the major orchestras of the land. In fact, it has brought forth the comment that there are now two Goldmarks—the reference, of course, being made to the younger composer's uncle, composer of The Queen of Sheba." "The work is based on the themes that are so associated with the American Negro that the composer considers them of Negro origin. Thus, I believe his rhapsody should be called the 'American Negro' (Afro-American) rhapsody. It is rather 'spiritual in idea, splendidly orchestrated and holds much interest for the auditor. It was well played and well received." COULDNT STAND PROSPERITY. The Same Old Thing That Has Caused The Downfall of So Very Many of Our People. Los Angeles, Calif.—James Smith and his wife have been working at a millionaire's home in Hollywood for over five years. On their "off days", they were allowed to use one of their employer's four cars. All repairs and gas bills were charged to him. The other day they decided they wanted their "own" machine and invested the major part of their savings in a "brand new" Buick touring. Thinking they were "one of the family", after "showing it off" to their friends, they parked it in the spacequi garage of their employer. Quite naturally the next morning he wanted to know which one of his guests owned the handsome boat. "We got tired of using your car and thought we'd get one of our own". James informed him, with unconcealed pride. "Oh, is that so?" he replied. "That was Thursday. Saturday evening, when James and his wife received their salaries they were told that their services were no longer needed. It is said that a white couple have their jobs now. WHITE LAD MARRIES SISTER. Johnstown, Pa.—Stephen Baldoglio, 41, onceen, who married his sister, Eileen, seventeen, in Cumberland, Ma., recently, will be prosecuted "to the limit" but his sister-wife, who is to be a mother, promptly will be given her freedom, the father said in attaching or postponement of their hearing. The girl is in the detention room and her brother in jail. They were arrested in a rooming house. Police said Helen told them she was sorry the marriage had been broken up and that she wanted to go on living with her brother. "The boy was born in Hungary and never had seen his sister until 1923." Black Jews in Court. New York City—Judge Allen in the Court of General Sessions, last week Tuesday, dismissed Rabbi Mordeal Hermans on a grand larceny indictment brought about by Arnold J. Ford, another black Jew, who charged Hermans with the misappropriation of $109 which sum was given to him to purchase a receptacle for the Torah. Rabbi Hermans is the head of the colored Jewish Temple B'nai Abraham, 124 West 133rd St. He was defended by Counselor Rufus L. Perry of 375 Fulton St. Brooklyn, who argued that there was no basis for criminal action in the charges of Rabbi Ford. Hermans promised to buy the receptacle as soon as one could be found for the price. Counselor Perry, a member of the race, embraced the Jewish faith, many years ago. Col. Chus. Young's Headstone. Washington, D. C.—A headstone for Col. Charles Young's grave in Arlington Cemetery has been ordered, along with those for other service men, with a view to its preparation and delivery for erection prior to Memorial Day, 1925. The government marker will take the place of the wooden stake which at present marks the spot, and the War Department's stone will later be removed when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity erects its $5,000 memorial there.

A. V. Donahay. The other two are Capt. W. S. Thomas and Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, both of Columbus. Editor Smith, whose term expires June 30, 1929, succeeds Atty. Sully Jaymes of Springfield, and Capt. Thomas, who holds office until June 30, 1928, succeeds Ormond Forte of Cleveland. Dr. Johnson was reappointed, having been first appointed during the recess of the Legislature, last summer. He was Minister to Liberia, Africa, under the Wilson administration. Many people do not understand that only the Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University is controlled by the state and therefore is known as the Combined (State) Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University. The gentlemen named are trustees of this state department and are not trustees of the University. Their nomination by the Governor must be confirmed by the State Senate.

IN UNION IT IS SINCE IN LE COPY FIVE CENTS POSE ROBERTS BILL OUR GIRLS AND WOMEN OHIO. Davis Doing Splendid Work Rered Before the Judiciary House—New "Wilber- ees—Prof. Miller. Harry E.

Mrs. Florence Wells, a member of the House from Lucas county, and also a member of the judiciary committee, intended to register her protest at the hearing, but the death of her father prevented her from being present. About fifteen girl students from Ohio State University, members of Prof. Miller's sociology classes, attended the hearing. In addition there were present quite a number of local Columbus people. The sentiment of the Judiciary Committee seems to be to let the bill die a natural death. However, our people throut the state cannot afford to relax in the least their effort to have their members of both the House and the Senate know just how they feel about the vicious measure. We must protect our girls and women from the miserable condition that would be created in case the Roberts bill should happen to become a law. oil inspector, a position similar to the one held, by the editor of The Gazette, here in Ohio over thirty years ago.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 The Kansas legislature has "chloro-formed" a bill to admit the K. K. to that state without a charter. It may bob up again, it is said. If it does it ought to be killed. Chloro-forming is hardly enough. --- The President seems to have "gorgotten" the "colored brother" and the latter's troubles in this country, when he wrote his recent message to the Congress. Perhaps "Link" Johnson and Perry Howard can explain this. --- President Coolidge's new secretary, Ex-Congressman Everett Sanders of Terre Haute, is said to be one of the leading members of the Ku Klux Klan in that part of Indiana. If this is true the President is still "running true to form". --- Albert F. Coyle, candidate for Congress at the last election, and a number of his supporters, met at the Brownley-Hayes hotel, E. 40th St. and Cedar Ave., last Friday noon. They are seeking additional evidence of fraud in Mr. Coyle's election, much of which occurred in wards 11 and 12. The purpose is to bring all his evidence of fraud to the attention of the present Congress and this ought to be done. Our people of those wards should help him all they can in the interest of fair and honest elections, something those and other wards of the city have not had for at least six years. Just imagine, if you can, Texas leading Ohio in the matter of legislation against the Ku Klux Klan, and then learn that a bill prohibiting the wearing of masks in public was signed, Monday, by Gov. (Mrs.) Miriam A. Ferguson. It provides severe penalties for persons entering public buildings, churches or private residences while masked, and was a Democratic party pledge of the last campaign which resulted mainly from flogging parties staged by masked bands in Texas during the last few years. One section of the law, which becomes effective immediately, declares it unlawful "for any secret society or organization or a part of the members thereof, masked or in disguise, to parade upon or along any public road or on any street or alley of any city or town in the state." This section alone is worth its weight in gold to Texas because it will save many lives and will prevent a great deal of mob violence and other public strife. While Ku Kluxism has been greatly on the wane in that state and elsewhere in the South for many months, it takes only a law as the one in Texas to put the quietus on the Klan in that or an other state. Just at present, the organization is strongest in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio but like a prairie fire will burn its self out as it goes along just as it has thrust the South where it had its beginning and greatest success. In the South the Klan used the Democratic party as its platform for action. Here in the North it uses the Republican party. The advantage to northern states in the enactment of such a law now is that it would save them from the loss of lives, other crimes, mob violence and public strife which characterized the periods of the Klan's ascendency in Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and other southern states. Illinois and Indiana have Kluxers or Klan sympathizers as governors while President Cooldge has as secretary a Klausman. All three of those major officials are Republicans. "Ma" Ferguson, we salute you and your state on this Klan question, at least. May northern states, especially Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, soon follow the splendid precedent you have established. FRAUD IN ELECTIONS. Appellate court for the second time will decide, this week, Municipal Judge Alva R. Corlett's motion that 12th ward ballot boxes be opened for a recount of the judicial vote cast, last November. Attorneys on Monday argued the case. Judge Corlett, contesting the election of Common Pleas Judge A. J. Pearson, charges that in certain precincts of ward 12 Pearson was credited with more votes than were actually cast for the judicial candidates. He has offered affidavits of many voters. The court of appeals, some weeks ago, denied a similar motion on the ground that there was not enough evidence to establish prima facie case of fraud. Corlett since has filed many additional depositions. As we have repeatedly said in the past we repeat at this time (having had personal experience we shall never forget), there is fraud in the conduct of elections in wards 8, 11, 12, 17 and others of the city, and has been for at least six years. The great trouble is to prove it. All this is no secret but a matter of common knowledge among political workers and others of these and other wards of the city. What was done, to Judge Corlett, Congressional Candidate Albert F. Coyle, Sheriff Fred H. Kohler and other candidates the "organization" opposed, in wards 11 and 12 alone "beggars description". It has long been time to call a halt. As the result of our personal experience in ward 11, three years ago last fall, we know something of the illegal methods invoked on election days but also how impossible it is, with the combined Democratic and Republican "organization" in control of about everything in this city and county, to punish anybody for fraudulent acts at elections. Many elections in Cleveland in the last six or seven years have been farces, "pure and simple", and there are many, as we have said, who know this. We sincerely trust that Judge Corlett and Editor Coyle will have success in uncovering sufficient facts and evidence of fraud in their elections to bring about a thorou house-cleaning which should begin with the Board of Elections and end with the election judges and clerks. The board should be made independent of the influence of all party organizations. Likewise all election judges and clerks. Party "influence" is the root of the evil complained of in the cases of board, judges and clerks. Kansas Editor Freed. Sapulpa, Okla.—Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka (Kan.)

Wynne & Easley Funeral Directors Perfected Service Phone Ran. 0406 2202 H. 58th St. SEEKS TO DESTROY POISON IVY IN U.S. Campaign Against Noxious Plant is Started by Professor William Mansfield of New York. TELLS OF ITS GREAT DANCES Favors Exhibition Gardens, Where Public Can Study, and Learn How to Kill It. New York. -The first step in a campaign to eradicate polio, ivy plants, the heavy growth of which even in suburbs of this city yearly encounters the health of thousands of yorums, is made in a city of City in William St.field, of Columbia University in the current issue of the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden. Prof. Stansfield, in describing the polio ivy plant and its power to poison, either directly or indirectly, urges that immediate efforts be made to prevent the spread of its growth in the local parks and suburbs. "The poison ivy, 'Rhus radicans,' is one of the most widely distributed plants in the eastern United States, according to Prof. Mansfield. "Every year, because of its hardiness, this poisonous plant becomes more widely distributed, and by reason of its attractiveness many persons, though aware of its nature, allow it to cover their old fences and hedges, which otherwise would be unsightly. "Once the poison ivy seed enters the soil it thrives, growing in three forms; a trailing vine, a climbing vine, or a shrub, capable of afflicting most persons with an intense irritation and swelling of the skin, which, though seldom fata, is extremely annoying and liable to weaken the entire system. Some persons must come in direct contact with the three-foliate leaf of the plant to become poisoned, while others are so susceptible that a few of the collen grains, sometimes from a distant plant, upon the skin produces irritation. "The first effect of the poisoning is a mild skin irritation, which when the sufferer cubs or scratches, becomes corse. The friction breaks the outer skin, the poison enters the inner and more sensitive tissues, and the suffering increases accordingly." The "secondary effect causes a re-dening of the skin, followed by blisters, formed by the infiltration of water between the outer and inner layers of the skin. When perforated, that water touches an unaffected part, which in turn becomes poisoned." To cure the poisoning and counteract its effect, the effected parts should be washed with a paste of blanchment of food or of water, left on the irritated part as a thick resin to be moistened as the water evaporates. Again the irritation may be washed with strong alcohol, which apportifies the fecal or resinous nature of the poison of the poison ivy plant and renders it harmless. This treatment proves efficacious only during the first stage of the poisoning. "Thousands of persons are poisoned every year by this plant, but still it is allowed to grow, practically unhindered. For several years efforts have been made to exterminate the plant from the New York Botanical Garden, where it grows in tremendous quantities, and within a few years this will be accomplished. To eradicate the poison ivy plant in any of its forms, however, ther ours must be dug up and the area which they occupied be gone over year after year." Prof. Mansfield urges that exhibition gardens of poison ivy be arranged in the parks, where the public may study its appearance and the methods for its eradication. When all are familiar with the plant, steps may then be taken to assure its extermination from the entire country. NEW PUZZLE FOR SCIENTISTS Strange Discovery by Farmer Who Weft for Spring Water.

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, but the segregation 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 president never troubled, but the president 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 people 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 not by its all-embracing extortion 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 tenaciously held on to by our Republican President, only week, after the president appeared after former 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 Secretary Coulson and President Coolidge. We have from North Carolina, the home of the other treasurer 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 protest why he lacked not to 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 in 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 cateria 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 bringing them along with the worse. The injustice stings 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, 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 the segregation is not toilet or 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 he has done because he is not, and ordered the postmaster to invite the colored 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, the many unemployed employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared 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 interior 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 out-of-the-way room. The people 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 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 promotion. Here, the law of superior position 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 restful retreat of the company 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 dismisses him as a night-employee, hence he carries 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 falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons. The company immediately 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 denial that the conditions complained of ex-communist inmates names of my informants. I knew the inmates informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 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 jazette) 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 heroic 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 to see the women 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." The women 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, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet people, and the National Association association publicly 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 a1 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 Sumner and Frederick Doug las helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREAT the party that they are to toilet, and working stations, and of all none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high age, 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 girls to the 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 his career, the many 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 several thousand clerks. Yet New York's clerks 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 lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, segregated clerks are forced to enter the premises 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 the delightful retreat and the festive occasion of their presence 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 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 seclusion or elimination, and be 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 in the case of the registrar of the treasury and the internal revenue 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 institute segregation in these institutions here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: One 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 investigated 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 seg- regated section of 7 employees regated 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. 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 suffering, and they have years 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, "Negrites are not worthy of rights they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The 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.) Guardian. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6280. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6280. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6284.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed to have the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyching" 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, misshapen or any other weapon, to 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 occurred, 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 five thousand dollars. (98 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, sum for such injury killing, 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, and then be distributed to the surviving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum may be distributed to the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6228. 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 murder (93 v. 162 7). Section 6224. 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 6225. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is bad, to inquire of the court of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. 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 in a lynching, composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought 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. a representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. nst member of mob. nst 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 dispurse 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 LAB 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 Chad enacted while a member of the 1st General Assembly in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating establishment or shop, public conveyance by land or shop, 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 more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the land section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars or more than five hundred dollars, or another 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 in our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. --- Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Beaty bill responded to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I intuitively believe you 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 that as going on in its own town there were so many cases, a decision 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. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Rellable" 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 (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago) "Let 'er go!" Pop-pop-pop. Br - r - r - r - r. Five gigantic motors, after a moments hesitant sputtering — a unanimous proclamation of their violent discomfort at thus being aroused from a much needed siesta — roured simultaneously; and, amid the cockpit portholes and a least deafening, despairing drone of resentment from the huge exhausts, ten tons of metal, fabric and humanity "takes to the air" with the case of an eagle. The "Trans-centennial Aerial" is off on the last leg of its "tennion hop" from New York to Frisco. Familiarize yourself with the above episode. There is every indication that it will supplant, permanently and univerally, the familiar "All Aboard of our Pullman Conductors and changing of bells, the banging of doors and the shrieking of steel against steel, so long associated with the departure of our ship "Twentieth Century Limited." Each new contrivance of man must necessarily pass through three stages, the most important of which is the experimental stage. That necessity is truly the mother of the crisis in ground covered in aeronautical experiments during our late national emergency. This crisis lifted aviation once and for all out of the experimental stage and compelled a recognition of its practicability in warfare and commerce. We are now at the commercial stage of its history. Flying is no longer a sport. But flying as a business, as transportation has only just begun. We are carried away on the wings of imagination when we try to picture aeronautics of the future, and the possibilities are impossible. Planes are now being built to accommodate fifty to a hundred passengers and to take daily trips between New York and Los Angeles, even as the commercial planes of Europe are making hour-long trips" between London and Paris. The advent and recent perfection of the radiophone is another boon to aviation. By simplifying communication between air and ground, it will not only reduce the number of lost ships to the miniature will facilitate navigation and fueling. The future alone holds the secret of the ultimate perfection of heavier-than-air crafts, but it is moderately safe to predict that, when planes of twenty-ton weight and a five hundred capacity fly at a height of 50,000 feet and a speed of 200 knots, then will the development of aeronautics be approaching its goal. Next week's article: "The Ideal Motor Car." STOCK-SELLING ORGIES. Editor Ben J. Davis of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, announces Herman E. Perry's resignation from the presidency of the Standard Life Insurance Co. and from the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Citizens Trust Co., Atlanta's leading race business enterprises until recently. 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. He was also president of the Service Company, a holding company, which had practiced practically of the leading African 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 office would have might have sounded before it was 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.
