New York City.—There seems to be something back of Battling Sikil, for, no matter how hard and often he is hit, he will not go down. He has to be knocked out, technically. The Sengaelese, who attained fame, over two years ago, by conquering the world light-heavyweight champion, Georges Carpentier, in a bout in Paris, France, last week Friday night demonstrated the art of retaining good footholds, and when finally he, was informed that he should be stretched on the canvas he argued with the referee. For nine rounds and a portion of another he was the target for one of America's modern maulers. Paul Berlenbach, who forced the fighting, using, both hands in a constant tattoo upon his opponent's head and body. Only in the first two rounds did Sikil retaliate, one right in the second lifting Berlenbach off the floor. Round after round the Seugalese accepted an unmereful pounding until he toltered in the tenth. On being informed he was knocked out to all intents and purposes, but had forgotten to fall, Sikil shrugged his shoulders and waved his right arm as if to say, "It makes no difference, anyway." Frankie Schoell; of Buffalo, accepted a handicap of seven pounds to defeat Larry Estridge, of this city, Afro-American middleweight, in the semi-final. High Bid for Wills-Dempsey Flight New York City.—Jimmy Deforest, matchmaker for the Polo Grounds Athletic club, announced, last week, that he had offered Jack Dempsey "a bigger amount" than the champion had ever received if he would meet Harry Wills for the heavyweight title at the Polo Grounds not later than Sept. 25. Deforest said his offer had been sent to Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, at Chicago, who was on the way to Trenton, N. J., to testify at the fight film trial there. "I am not setting any specific figure in my offer." Deforest asserted. "That would constitute a guarantee and guarantees of boxing purses are not permitted in this state. 'Dempsey has repeatedly stated perchance of the brain. He was a member of the local masonic lodge and the commandment of Newark Funeral, Wednesday afternoon, at Urch里斯ville. J. W.

Well, here is the offer." It will be interesting, at least, to see how Dempsey, his manager and friends will "slidesstep" or try to "wiggle" out of this bonafide offer of a big purse for the fight. The champion's plaint all along has been that no one offered a sufficient purse for a go with Wills. Now he has it. Two of Our School Boys Star. Columbus, O.—Cutchins of South High was a prime factor in the defeat, of East High for the City basketball title here, recently, but in so doing he carried down another of our boy's hopes. That is Keys who plays guard on the losing team was another star Afro-American performer and his work was good enough for his team to have won but the South H. entree were a little better, so they won. Cutchins was the real star of the game and his basket just about finished the proceedings as follows: Cutchins, South H. center, took the life out of the East team when with only four minutes of the game remaining, the lad tossed the ball from the center of the floor that resulted in the longest field goal of the game. That type of a bucket will take the life out of most any five. It did East. It had only a two-point lead at that time and a few seconds later, South asserted its superiority with a Barton foul and a Merick fielder that made the score board read South, 22; East, 21, with only a minute and 55 seconds to play. Big Cutchins was the leading point getter, making four buckets and a foul. Petticord, Keys and Hiatt made all but one of the East H. points. Captain Shuler, although falling to register a point, was the leading East performer, followed closely by Keys and Hiatt. Emerick's heroic act in scoring two goals in the final minutes of play will always be remembered by the present South High student body. Also that peach of a basket by Cutchins that caused the East title hopes to shiver. And Went Into Exile With Him— Officers Arrest Them—Her Sister Great Falls, S. Dak. -- Alma Smith, (white), age 21, is being held at the county jail while Sheriff Norton's force is searching for Claude Hopkins, in whose shack on the west side of the Missouri river she was found. Hopkins was until recently employed at a brickyard across the river and of late has been employed by the Great Northern railway. Each day, before leaving for work, the girl told the officers, Hopkins would lock the door and caution her not to break out. At the county jail the girl said she met Hopkins through her sister, who is married to Foster Whipple, also a member of the race. She said that she had no prejudice and that she and Hopkins were to be married as soon as he could earn funds to take her to the state of Washington, where a marriage license could be procured. A license was denied her sister and Whipple here a year or more ago, but they later were married in Spokane, Wash., and returned here to live. "I protested at first against the locking of the door when he left in the morning," said the girl, "but he told me it was all right and I had nothing to fear if I kept out of sight. Men were working near the place where we lived and Indians from the nearby encampment were constantly about." I thought it was some of the Indians trying to break in when the door was opened. My sister nor myself have any prejudice, and I love Mr. Hopkins. It was our intention to be married as soon as we could." The girl was found by chance when Deputy Sheriff J. T. Earl went to the shack in search of stolen property. When he received no response to his knock the officer broke in the door and had nearly completed his search of the building when he discovered the girl hiding behind a dresser in one of the rooms. She said she recently came here from Chicago, where her parents live. She formerly was married to a Wm. Smith, from whom she is divorced. He is living in Seattle, she said. KNEW PAUL L. DUNBAR. In Their Home Town—Wm. M. Farrow, a Successful Artist—His Interesting Career. Born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1885, Wm. M. Farrow spent the greater part of his early life in that city. He became inspired by the genius of Paul Lawrence Dunbar and whenever the post visited the old Steele High School in Dayton to read his famous poems young Farrow was always an enthusiastic listener. His chance came to go to Chicago where an appointment awaited him in the Chicago Post Office with the possibility of admission to the Art Institute. During the war he was called upon by the Art Institute to take charge of the designing and printing of small museum labels, a thing which the Institute was having difficulty in getting done in an artistic way by outside printers. After considerable experimentation he produced a celluloid label which was waterproof and would stand the wear and tear of museum visitors. For the past few years Mr. Farrow has had charge of various kinds of installation at the Art Institute. After rearranging a small Egyptian group he was given charge of the entire Egyptian collection which is to be installed in the near future. Aside from these unique and specialized duties he finds time to paint and to conduct a business in the design and execution of greeting cards. These have found a ready market because of their extraordinary attractiveness and have shown the artist to be at his best in water color. During the fall of 1922 a water color entitled "Mother Nature's Mirror" was accepted at an international exhibition in which almost every country in the world was represented. The following year came a group of paintings which were assembled for the exhibit in August, 1924 at the New York Public Library. — Hampton, (Va.) Southern Workman. Flowers Out of Luck: Toledo, O.—Coming to Toledo to box Sailor Darden, proved costly to Tiger Flowers, Monday night. In the ninth round of their twelve-round bout, Darden thumped Flowers so hard to the body that he fractured one and possibly two rbcs. Before leaving Toledo, Walker Miller, manager for Flowers, telegraphed Eddle Mack. Boston, matchmaker, announcing it was impossible for Tiger to meet Lou Bogash, Thursday night, as scheduled. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN FLORIDA FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. Cincinnati, O. The merger of the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute of Daytona, Florida, and the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville, Fla., is now a fact. All of the necessary legal steps have been taken conveying the property by deed. of the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute to the Board of Education cation of the Me Church, and humbler that you have joined. Prior to this form addresses were made constitute valuable this notable merger. March first, the new Cookman Hall, was Dr. J. Garland Penn, Sr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This was done at the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Daytona Institute with the following representatives of the Board of Education present: Bishop R. E. Jones, Attorney L. N. Gatch, Secretaries P. J. Maveyet and I. Garland Penn. On account of a previous engagement in California, Dr. W. S. Bovard could not be present. It was a dramatic moment when Mr. James N. Gamble, president of the board of trustees of the Daytona Institute, recognized Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, founder and president, to formally pass to the control of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church by deed of conveyance and amended charter, a property now appraised at nearly a half million dollars. This great and good woman had struggled and worked, as no one can know, to build the institution from one dollar and a half to a half million dollars. She was turning over something and she did it in the most engaging and self-effacing manner that this writer has ever seen anything done in his life of thirty-five years of public service. As she handed to Attorney Gatch the deed, she said: "I commit this property to the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church—take it—use it for the development of the Negro youths of America. May God inspire you and your Board to always have fair minds, and to yield to the inspirations and the aspirations of the boys and girls who may knock at the door of this institution for that instruction and that training that will round them out and make them Christian citizens of America." Mr. Gatch replied, saying: "Mrs. Bethune, I accept this prop- Doings of the Race Dr. P. J. Carter of Boston has been appointed ward surgeon at the U. S.

They were arrested and he sentenced to the penitentiary. Her sentence is being held up temporarily by the Tiger Flowers In a Victory. Toledo, O.—Tiger Flowers, light heavyweight, won the decision over Sailor Danten in their 12-round bout here, Monday night. Flowers won because he weighed ten pounds more than the Boston sailor, was taller and had a longer reach. He hit Danten repeatedly all the way but not once did he floor him. Danten, on the other hand, hit Flowers many times on the chin but owing to his small reach could not make his blows count. IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS nited ACHIEVEMENT FLORIDA ON OF THE NEGRO. cation of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and humbly join in the prayer that you have just worded." Prior to this formal transfer many addresses were made, which will constitute valuable history covering this notable merger. On Sunday, March first, the new boys' dormitory, Cookman Hall, was dedicated. Bish- erty on behalf of the Board of Eduop Robert E. Jones was the dedicatory orator. The Jacksonville Daily Journal says of his address: "For careful thought, refined delivery, supplained eloquence and scholarly reserve, his address was a masterpiece and a delight." It was the duty of the writer, who made the initial investigations and recommendations regarding the merger, to address the audience upon what the merger meant in the perpetuation of Mrs. Bethune's great achievement and to make a plea for the continued support of Daytona by its many friends. This institution is unique and is really in a class by itself. Its budget calls for much money to operate the plant as it is, to say nothing of extension. The Board of Education for Negroes has expended in two years $160,000 in maintenance, new buildings and equipment, and much yet remains to be done. Later the board of trustees authorized a campaign for $250,000 to be raised for new buildings and maintenance. This is to come from the thousands of friends of the institution who have visited it and know of its work. The institution will now be known as The Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute. The new boys' dormitory is known as The Cookman Hall, as a permanent memorial to the Cookman Institute side of the merger. Thus, in two years, by combination of effort, two institutions became a large and influential one and one of the most promising schools in all the South. There are approximately four hundred students with the promise of five hundred during 1925-26. That number applied for this year but could not be accommodated until the new dormitory was completed. judge. Alabama has an anti-intermarriage law. When being led away to prison, Monahan vowed that he would rather die than to deny the woman whom he had chosen for a wife. In 1910, A. T. Dotger, a very wealthy citizen of South Orange, left the residue of his estate, comprising more than a million dollars, to Tuskegee, Ala., N. & I. school. Twelve years later Albert M. Post Mitchell willed it another million dollars. Now comes John D, Rockefeller, Jr., with still another million. Jack Johnson K. O. Wrestler. Duluth, Minn.—Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight boxing champion, reverted to boxing in his wrestling match here, recently, with Charles Leppanen, Finnish heavyweight wrestler. Johnson lost the third and decisive fall when he sent a left hook to the jaw of Leppanen that sent him to the floor for the full count. Jack won the first fall in eighteen minutes with a headlock and the Finn, the second, in eight minutes with a leg lock. --- I. Garland Penn, Sr. SISTER - THIS BEING LEAP YEAR I ASKED MR.

City, struck an Afro-American passenger, was arrested and jumped his ball. Recently he was re-arrested. Monday, he was sentenced to serve thirty days in the workhouse for the assault. Even his rich mother-in-law, who was in court, could not save him. A small detachment of our soldiers (with two officers) from the Washington barracks was all of our representation in the Coolidge inaugural parade. They wouldn't have any more, and it is too bad that it was impossible for our soldiers to refuse to participate. The whole inaugural affair was the smallest and cheapest in the long life of the republic. --- Speaking at the annual celebration at the Attucks monument on Boston Common, March 5, Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian called attention to the fact that five white members of the band led by Crispus Attucks; America's first martyr, were buried in the same grave with him. This particular for the benefit of a large number of members of that group in the audience. Good! Bro. Trotter. Let others do likewise. After three or four years' promising, the local Republican organization has appointed an Afro-American an assistant county prosecutor; something we have been contending for years. Atty. Selmo P. Glenn is the appointee. Now let us see to it that he is not made merely a "messenger", is paid a proper salary is permitted to do the work of an assistant prosecutor, is not placed behind a screen and "sidetracked" as was the case with at least one other Afro-American appointee in the legal department of the city, several years ago. HOUSTON RIOT ECHO. About the first of this month, a bill providing $45,000 compensation for loss of life, personal injuries and damages to property alleged to have been inflicted by members of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry during the Houston riot on the night of August 23, 1917, at Houston, Texas, was passed by the U. S. senate. The only objections raised to the passage of the bill were made by senators who did not wish such a precedent to be established. Not one word was uttered in defense of those martyred U. S. soldiers of color who were but defending their lives from a mob in which were brutes who had insulted a woman of the race whom the soldiers tried to protect. This brought about the riot. And, too, President Coolidge's secretary of war, John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, favored the bill with nary a word in behalf of our soldiers. May the good Lord have mercy on those "Negroes" of intelligence who have words of praise, for Coolidge. "THE ATMOSPHERE IN WASHINGTON". "If there is any atmosphere in God's world that weakens a man's backbone it is the atmosphere in Washington", said Senator Borah in a speech in the U.S. Senate on Monday, and he certainly "said a mouthful". No group of Americans has so much reason to know how much truth the Senator spoke as our people. We have seen our strongest and best friends by the score go to Washington as members of Congress only to lose them. There have been few, very few exceptions. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's fight for "The Black Battalion" killed him politically and contributed too largely to his death. He was our only ag- THE young Otter, who had left a toe behind in a trap, was so happy to be free again that he hardly gave the loss of that toe a thought. The cold water was good for the sore foot, and the young Otter being healthy, his foot healed rapidly. In fact, in two or three days his foot was practically well. But the young Otter didn't forget his dreadful experience. He never would forget it. He had learned a lesson that he would remember as long as he lived. All his life he would be suspicious of traps and on the watch for them. Never again would that young Otter be caught in a trap. Of course the trapper found that toe in his trap. Such a disappointed trapper as he was! "There won't be a chance of that Otter again," said he. "I must have been careless in setting that trap. It should have caught him by the whole foot and not just by a toe. Probably those other Otters know all about it now." When he discovered the new slippery slice he knew that his traps at So he spent all the next day hid den near the slippery slide. the old slippery slide had been discovered. He set another trap at the foot of the new slide, but he didn't know where it was. He in it. He understood perfectly that Little Joe Otter and Mrs. Otter were wise "o the ways of trappers. "I guess," muttered the trapper, "that my best chance of getting one of those Otters will be to hide for a chance to shoot one of them. I'll spend the day over here tomorrow with my gun." So he spent all the next day Lidden man with his terrible gun. But he didn't have "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. It justifies and holds together the wiser senses and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." The Lost Chord The sweetest strain that ever graced God's sanctuary responded to the organ's efforts but once, and then departed never to return.

"The atmosphere in Washington" plus all the efforts of President Theodore Roosevelt could not weaken the great Foraker's "backbone". It is, however, that "atmosphere" and the damphool American prejudice that have not only cost our people the loss of all their aggressive friends in Congress but have also made arrant cowards of the few who would say something "out in the open" in our behalf were it not for these baneful influences. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY! "Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my macy to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights; I propose to regard it and administer it as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race may be." Thus wrote President Coolidge, on August 22, 1924. "It would be well," said President Coolidge, "if we could replace much that is only false and ignorant prejudice with a true and enlightened pride of race. American seeks no earthly empire built on blood and force." Message to Congress, March 5, 1925. Now then, read carefully the first four columns of "Coolidge" articles on page 4 of this paper and you will better understand the Prescident. He seems to have forgotten entirely that utterance of Aug. 22, 1924, while that of March 5, 1925, is practically without meaning as far as our group is concerned. And yet "Negroes" at Washington, D. C., sent out those two paragraphs in an effort to mislead our people into believing that Coolidge "is our friend". This, too, in the face of all that segregation in the government departments at the nation's capital and elsewhere in the government service which includes its hospitals here in the North for war veterans. One in Ohio. Our intelligent and leading men and women must show more manhood and womanhood if this race of ours is ever to get anything like what it is entitled to in this country. RACE CONGRESS.

A strange consignment arrived here this week from Steward. It was a shipment of moose antlers billed to a knife handle and bone novelty factory in Taacoma. The shipment represented two months' work of Mose Harris, who for years has tramped over the moose meadows on Kenai peninsula gathering the old horns dropped by the moose during the shedding process in February. Harris says the antlers, although of the hardest bone material, must be gathered from the damp forests soon after they are left by the animals. In less than a year they would return to dust, so rapily they die in a scrappy country. Once safely in a dry factory the bone is indestructible. From the broad smooth antlers combs, handles and dice are cut. There is a growing market for the bone articles, while scrap bone is shipped to China and Japan. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 Tales For the Children BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. The Otters Move On Who doth the law of safety heed Will not be influenced by greed. —Old a chance to use it. He didn't get so much as a glimpse of a sleek brown head. And the reason was that Little Joe Otter and his family were far away down the brook. They had started early the night before. They were on their way down toward the Browns. Little Joe and Mrs. Otter had talked the matter all over. "It isn't safe to stay here any lo ger," declared Little Joe. "I don't like to leave the good fishing, for we may not find another place where it is so easy to get plenty of fish. But that terrible two-legged creature will give us no peace. There is a trap now at the foot of our new slippery slide." "You are quite right, my dear," replied Mrs. Otter. "I am worried to deter the car, in spite of all their children. The children will get caught in a terrific trap and he killed. I think the sooner we move along, the better. Safety is the most important thing." So once more Little Joe and his family went traveling. There was a crust on the snow now, and they had a lot of fun sliding. Moreover, they didn't leave a trail, as they had left the Laughing crook in the soft on its way toward the big brook and then they came to open Paws, where the water was swift and hadn't frozen. There they stopped to fish. Sometimes they swam for quite a distance under the ice. It was all fun, exciting fun for the two young Otters. The next story: "A Fish Disappears."

Segregation How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city from the white people in this city of white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republican, and it must be to its all-embracing exponent by Republican! 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 bound on to by our Republican governor. Only last year a 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 Secretary Mollon and President Coolidge. From North Carolina to the home of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice separation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferia for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings. All the men 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 segregation is even more pronounced. A large part of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before, 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, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have been forced to work regularly and often送来 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 are a few tables in an out-of-the-way corner in an out-of-the-way employee. 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 promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes 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 music and a strong exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was arrested for carrying 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 for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment the employees are taught that there is no way to escape for them to 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 exerted a request for the names of my informants, my informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 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 aliens cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tiazette) 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 who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, 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 members, our people, and the National 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 a lt toge 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 Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. We have SUNDAY GATED, their best rooms, staffing 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 them are of these serious 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 Times) Washington, D.C. The treasury department, according to the President's 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 that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what sercregation 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 Neal Roper, where there the clerk can't be noticed. Then 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 far; The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent An Outrage! 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 space she creates is precious. It eats two thousand dinners with space to spar; 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, writing or not. 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 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 hardiness of Cooley, hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus 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 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. 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 contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even so today. In fact, 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 have no guts." They are only those who resent and resist prescriptions 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.

Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio 12.1940. Whoever, being the proprietor of this employee, keeper or manager of an in-house, eatable house, barber-shop, public vechance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or not more than ninety days, or both the next preceding section shall 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. Misled by the foolishly manufactured forcery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a law the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of oiity, I ventured to meet under separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism ediitially. THE LAW OF OHIO. PROACH, 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. Making Repairs With Sense Instead of (President Greer College of Automotiva Engineering, Chicago) Out of the bitterness of my own experiences I am prompted to offer the following advice to those of my readers who want maximum efficiency from their automobiles. Naturally an automobile operates at least expense per mile when it is running in high gear with the spark advanced. Sometimes, however, it is running slowly this condition is a costly one. First: because spark is then too early which produces a spark knock. Second: because the power impulses are further apart and the action is therefore less even, power being consumed by overcoming the inertia of the flywheel is very great at an uneven torque. Many drivers try to stay in high gear and keep the spark lever advanced all the way up the tangent as long as possible in climbing a hill. Under these conditions, when a change has to be made, it is important to wear second gear whenever second gear would have sufficed with a little more momentum. With the engine laboring there is a great strain on all parts and, of course, too much gasoline is being wasted in this destructive effort. But drivers who do this, think they are economizing on fuel because they figure their engines are turning over fewer times in a given distance, and hence, less gasoline is being passed into the engine and burned. That is not so, many of them will be surprised to learn, that change were made into second gear, less gasoline would be consumed. Have you ever watched the expert driver when his car starts to skid? He doesn't jam down his feet on the brake and accelerator. He simply throttles down the engine quickly and turns his front wheels in the direction the car is going so slowly, in nine cases out of ten pull his car out of the skid. He picks up again and is gone before you realize he even started to skid. It's a mighty hard thing to do, that of keeping your foot away from the brake when a car starts going, but it must do so smoothly. You the car starts swaying; the occupants scream; you lose your head; down goes your foot to lock the brakes, then—crash! You're afraid of skidding and so am I. The way I overcame it on my car was to go on a rainy night on a wide, quiet street and slide around until I mastered the art. Such experience was hard the first time but was well while, because when the unexpected came I was prepared. REVIVE TURTLE RACES Oklahoma Takes Up Sport, Lay Wagers on "Speedway" OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma—Territorial races have become the sport of Oklahoma gentleman. Miller Brothers, of 101 Ranch, introduced the new sport, now there's a price on the head of every land tortoise in the state. Country fairs, department store picnics and all sorts of similar functions are adding a turtle contest to their programs, with a short course compensating for the notorious leisurely nature of the races. The entire armour of terrapins were entered at $1 a head. All the entrants were placed in a round enclosure at the center of a number of circles of varying diameters. At the starting signal the wire was removed. The first tortoise across each circle was awarded a small prize, while the breast to the outer line down the whole pot for his own.
