Edward Savoy, seventy-year-old state department messenger. Washington, D. C., who has kept his post HAITIAN OUTRAGES. Of American Mistrule Under Fire—The U. S. State Department and The French Government Approached. New. York City.—Two significant moves were made, last week, that bring to the fore again the question of Haiti and the shameful American occupation of the island. One was taken in France and the other concerned itself with the dispatching of a letter to the new secretary of state, Ex-Senator Frank Kellogg, by Joseph Mirault, correspondent of the Haitian Courier. The League of Rights of Man, one of the most powerful organizations in France, its membership comprising 75 per cent of the French Senators and deputies, including the leaders, demanded that the French government bring up the American military occupation of Haiti before the league of nations. Arbitrarily Selzed The resolution says that the United States arbitrarily seized the mandate of Haiti, a nation whose sovereignty never before was questioned, that the military occupation by America has become brutal and abusive and that Haiti is unable to make its protest heard. This resolution was signed by many members of the powerful association and submitted to the executive committee session, which adopted it and sent the motion to the cabinet of Edouard Herriot, urging immediate action. Countless Crimes Committed! The letter of Mr. Mirault to the American secretary of state sets forth that "during the last ten years that there has been an American occupation of the island, countless crimes have been committed in the name of the American people; that the poor people in the country are sometimes forced to disguise themselves as cannibals and to suffer themselves thus to be photographed; that 25 high schools have been closed, and the press pugged to such an extent that a journalist who dares to raise a voice to denounce misappropriation of public funds or exactions of any kind will be thrown into fall where he will be subjected lation." at the door of the secretary of state since 1869, when Hamilton Fish held that position, will remain two years longer at the request of Secretary of State Kellogg. Jefferson S. Coage, of Delaware, has been named deputy recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia by Recorder Arthur G. Froe.

Brown & Stevens' Douglass theater at Philadelphia was sacrificed as a result of their recent failure. Now their bank there is to be sold at public auction.

Miss Nannie Burroughs of the National Training School for our Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., says there is no truth in the statement that it has received $73,000 from the National Baptist Convention. Only $10 have been received from that organization during the school's entire career, she says. Seventy million towels were stolen from Pullman cars, last year, and all by passengers. The total number of hair brushes, combs, toothpicks and drinking cups is also no inconsiderable item.

Less than four years ago Wm. P. and Ethelbert McB, Carrington, of Brooklyn, N. Y., were porters on a Fall River steamer, earning $20 a week and tips. Today they maintain well equipped real estate offices at 1779-81 Fulton St., Brooklyn, and are worth close to $250,000 in real estate holdings and cash. They started business with $200 capital in 1920, as cleaners and dryers. In 1921, they gave up that business and moved to their present address to engage in the real estate business. Obituary. Clarence Benjamin Gibson, age 32 assistant secretary of the Boys branch at Central "Y", died, early last week, at his home in Lakewood and the funeral services were held last week Friday, at the First Reformed church there, Rev. John Sommerlotte, pastor. The services were out of the ordinary for several reasons, chief among which was the fact that representatives of our group took a more or less important part in them. Among the forty or fifty boys of a half dozen races, in Mr. Gibson's department, were four or five of our group. Capt. Charles Frye, executive secretary of the Cedar "Y", directed them in the condition of a sacred selection that was simply beautiful, and Phillip Jackson of the Cedar "Y" was accompanied (pianist). This undoubtedly in compliment of the fact that the deceased was among those from the Central "Y" that helped to start off the Cedar "Y", when it was first opened. The Mr. Gibson was small of stature and anything but strong physically he is acclaimed by those in immediate association with him at Central "Y" as "the best assistant secretary of the Central "Y" Boys department it has ever had or ever will have". He was really a broad-minded, Christian worker, who accomplished things, and his work spoke volumes for him at his funeral services. The church was filled with relatives and friends and the floral tributes were most numerous indeed and very beautiful. The Central "Y" was splendidly represented by officials as well as by members of its Boys' department. Mr. Gibson's thorn interest in and intense loyalty to the "Y" and its work was exceptional, to say the least. His parents, other relatives and the "Y" of Cleveland have every reason to feel proud of him for he did not live in vain, the greatly handicapped physically. His death is a positive loss to the community of Cleveland. Elks Buy Estate. Washington, D. C.—The McCullen estate, 307 Rhode Island Ave., has been purchased by Columbia Lodge, Elks. The estate is 2 acres and a 29 room frame house. Price, $15,000 cash and $35,000 secured by first mortgage. Attending Sunday Morning Church Services for Twenty-five Years On Time More Than 1,300 Consecutive Sundays. The Gazette was pleased to learn that the Hon. John P. Green was a guest at the recent banquet of the Cleveland Bar Association, given in honor of four of its members' fifth anniversary of admission to the bar of the state. Mr. Green was seated at the guest table next to the toastmaster, Judge J. J. Sullivan, president of the association. That is just like John Sullivan, the writer's colleague in the Ohio Assembly, over thirty years ago. There is nothing J. She Appeared at 18 Years of Age When a Member of the Ohio Senate smail about him. He's too broadminded, georgal and able to be pre-produced or a pen-head otherwise. At the conclusion of the speakers' program, President Saltman introduced President King of Oberlin College, President meritus Thwing of Western Reserve University and Atty. Green, in the order named, calling attention to the fact that the last named was the first Afro-American to serve in the senate of Ohio, and that he had practiced at the bar for fifty-five years. Mr. Green has not only the honor of being the first Afro-American to be elected state senator in a northern state, but he has held important office in the federal government. While a member of the senate he drafted and introduced the bill which made Labor day a legal holiday. He has traveled extensively in Europe (going abroad four times) and in this country. His life has intimately connected with the political history of the race since the war of the rebellion. Together with the Hon. Frederick Douglas he campaigned for the Hon. James G. Blaine in 1884. Although a pioneer in the practice of law in this city, Mr. Green still maintains his offices in the Blackstone building and actively engages in court practice. The New York World recently carried a feature story by Lester Walton of the N. Y. Age covering the career of Mr. Green. It featured in particular his record of twenty-five years of unbroken attendance at Sunday morning church services, being on time, for more than 1340 consecutive Sundays, "I was almost late several times," he says. "There was the Sunday when mr. son, Theodore, lay dying. He had but a few hours to live. I had to read the services myself in church that morning for the restor was absent. I hurried home, but my boy had been dead ten minutes." WINS SPINGARN MEDAL New York City.—The Spingart medal, awarded annually for the no best achievement by an Afro-American, formally was presented, Tuesday, to Roland Hayes, a tenor soloist, by the N.

FRESH OHIO NEWS New York City.—"This is a very different Africa, from the one to which we came more than twenty years ago", writes Mrs. Helen E.

Springer and Mrs. Springer celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their wedding which took place in Africa.

This week, at a quiet afternoon one of the ladies mentioned that the hats she had ordered from Paris had not yet arrived. O. yes, we are very up-to-date even to a lack of morals. It would be very unlightening to know how many white people there in this place who pass for men and wife that really have legal partners elsewhere in the world, so that marrying is out of the question.

Nay, the native in these towns knows far more than we ever can know. He lives with these people and works in their homes, and what he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing. And these flagrant examples of drunkenness and immorality have their effect most emphatically on the native population. But we are glad to say, that there are many of the natives constantly coming to us and saying, 'I am tired of living in sin and wickedness and I want to turn to God.' And turn they do by the scores and hundreds. And that is what makes missionary life endurable, and that only. Neither motorcars nor good, comfortable houses, nor plenty of food including ice cream, would mitigate the discouraging conditions. But feeding these hungry souls does not mitigate the evil conditions, but makes us joyously happy that we are here. Of course, there are also not a few decent white people who lead respectable lives, alongside of these others. And we devoutly wish and pray that the aggregate number and the proportion of these shall increase." HIO NEWS Mrs. Alline Burton.—Rev. J. J.

A Splendid Showing—Owns Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Farms—Accumulated Wealth. New York City—Afro-American labor supplies, one-seventh of all workers in the U.

Their number in manufacturing and industrial pursuits increased 1651.3 per cent from 1880-1910, and they control 7S banks with a total capitalization of over 100 million dollars. Their accumulated wealth increased from 2 million of dollars in 1886 to 15 million in 1920. In 1922, 523 Afro-Americans received the B. A. degree, and 26 the degree of M.

SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1925 Atty. Clifton R. Wharton, of Boston, has been appointed secretary of the U. S. legation at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. An excellent selection. President W. J. Hale of our A. & I. College, Nashville, wired his brother-in-law, Dr. E. A. Bailey of this city, that the Tennessee Assembly on Wednesday of this week voted his school $320,000. That's fine! Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Deener, of Washington, D. C., well known here, have adjusted their differences, "kissed and made up". He confesses that he wronged his wife, says the Washington (D. C.), Eagle of April 4, '25. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago is doing so much good helping our rural schools in the South that, in justice to himself, he ought to continue his standing offer to help establish "jim crow" Y. M. C.

P. legal battles in the last few years have been of invaluable assistance to our people. Japan has about as much desire to "head the darker peoples of the world" as Ben Tillman had. The daily papers of the country that are publishing that statement are doing so for the sole purpose of increasing the feeling (prejudice) in this country against Japan. It is a positive waste of time and effort for "The Associated Negro Press" or anything or any one else to urge President Coolidge to do or even say anything against disfranchisement and governmental segregation, and it is a mighty dumb "Negro" who fails to see and understand this now! A metropolitan daily newspaper is trying the experiment of placing on one inside page all of its crime news and such "sewer stuff". Many of our leading papers fill their first page with the rottennest kind of reading along the same line. Shame! They apparently have no regard whatever for the children in the homes they enter and pollute. Stop it, gentlemen! Our people have nothing to lose and much to gain if the Hon. John W. Weeks of Massachusetts retires as Secretary of War. While we, in common with all others, regret his illness and hope for his recovery, we know as a member of the President's cabinet he has fallen far short of proving his friendship for the race on several very important occasions. The Ohio Supreme Court's refusal to review the Phillips-Woodlawn, Hamilton County, school-district case, in the face of adverse decisions for Mr. Phillips in two lower courts, amounts to that court's approval of segregation, and that is the effect and impression thruout Ohio it has had and has made. There is no denying this. Whether the case was "properly prepared and presented to the Ohio Supreme Court", or not. does not alter in the least the fact stated in the foregoing.

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 engendering. He segregated the military takers in this city from the restricting white residents of white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republic stitution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their graph which must account for their papers, is tenaciously held on to our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having been examination, and after having been telegraphed for the department. The photograph had failed to tell her truth 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 a special favorite of Secretary C. President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation force. Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, 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 but his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were dead. The injustice stings all the more when they refused that they are far more liable than the whites, and over 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 negroes of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able 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 attempted in the toilets. 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. hurried a protest to the postmaster general, and the postmaster was to off, and he 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 position 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 selling of mail. The colored workers 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 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 record facilities. There is a huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here as elsewhere, the bureaucrats 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 importance of exclusion, felt the employees so keenly secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up-charge. He was a night-employee. He was not only 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 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 discharged. When 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 dental that the conditions complained of exacerbated by the stress of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this inquisitive scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the inhabitants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) Washington, D. C. Congregation 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 place." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for democracy within the town. Oswald Garrison Wilkard came to town, White House and Cabinet and accuse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau 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 Summer and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high 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 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) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Sliss from North Carolina, has not appointed a colonel work since his inception. 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 Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due ability to go so far and no farther The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special 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 sit at times and are forced to 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 festive scene that he presents with each 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 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 numerous has been most pronounced. This is particularly true to 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 election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executives 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—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. 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, when swearing in special rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect have no grats." The world re-confirms 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 dental of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve con nempt. — Boston (Mass.)
