Detroit, Mich.—The victim of a milling K. K. K. crowd of more than 5,000 angry and lawless whites, who hurled bricks and stones through the windows of his recently purchased $25,000 mansion in Spokane Ave. this city, an exclusive and "restricted" residential section, Dr. Alex. Turner, one of Detroit's wealthiest and most prominent Afro-American physicians, along with his family (wife and her mother), was forced to flee for his life, last week, because he had "violated" Detroit's (white) resi- dential "unwritten law." Moves Back and Defies Brutal Whites The next day Dr. Turner, after reporting the affair to the police authorities, and upon the assurances of friends that they would back him to the limit, moved back into his home. He refused to sell his property to a group of whites who had sought to re-purchase it from him. The biggest factor in the determination of the doctor to return, sald his attorney, Cecil Rowlette, was his wife, who refused to sign her name to a bill of sale giving the whites possession. Mrs. Turner was former Miss Lepota F. Henson, and her mother, Mrs. Addie Henson, only sister of Frederick Louden (deceased), all residents of Ravenna, O., years ago. This city is "lousy" with southerners, many of them "crackers", drawn here by the exceptional opportunities for securing employment. "SILENT CAL" AND KLUXERS. Protests Against the K. K. K. Parade In Washington, D. C., Next Month., Rolling, In- Send Yours, Too. Washington, D. C.—This city faces the disagreeable prospect of having, early next month, a large Ku Klux Klan demonstration. Protests pouring in upon President Coolidge at Swampscott so far have been answered only by silence, and protests to the District of Columbia commissioners, who have granted a permit for a Klan parade, Aug. 8, have been answered by the statement that the permit has been issued and that so long as the organization stays within the regulations, it may parade. It is required that the kluxers be unmasked and that they burn no fiery crosses. Will Coolidge act? NO! SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OHIO SUPREME COURT DECISION FOLLOWED BY COURT OF APPEALS IN DAYTON SCHOOL FIGHT Just as It Was in the Springfield School Fight, Several Years AgoWas Earl Reese Poisoned?School Segregation in Ohio Given Its Death Blow DAYTON, O.—Several years ago at Springfield, when the Ku Klux Klan had a strangle-hold on that city's school and other officials, the superintendent of the schools, a kluxer (McCord, now at Akron), started an effort to establish "jim crow" schools there. In this movement he was aided by Rev. E. W. B. Curry, a Baptist minister, Rev. Scott, a Methodist minister and other Negroes, we regret to say. The loyal of the race there met and organized to fight the "jim crow" already inaugurated in Fulton school by Supt. McCord, and quickly became greatly discouraged owing to the very black outlook facing them in the shape of the K. K.'s strong local organization, a hostile board of education, city officials in general, the local press, and "jim crow" Negroes, these last being led by two of our ministers there. It was at this juncture that it was decided to send to Cleveland and bring to Springfield the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, for six years, a member of the Ohio Legislature, with the hope that he would not only enlighten them as to the law of the state, touching the situation, but also advise them what to do and how to fight down: the effort to humiliate their children, the parents and all the loyal members of the race in that city and the state of Ohio. The writer went to Springfield to hear the editor and never so long as he lives will he forget that meeting in that church—packed to the doors. The editor was there and the distance of nearly two hours' length, discussing thoroly the whole matter and doing all and more than was expected. The large audience, roused to a wonderful enthusiasm, made "the welken ring" with its continued applause. But when he told them they must have the right kind of local publicity and money to carry on the fight to a successful end, told them he had come to them to help them, without charge, and appealed for a goodly collection to start the fight. right, leading in the giving with a goodly sum, the battle, was on with an enthusiasm that did eventuate in victory complete but not until after many months' hard fighting, in and out of the courts, which our women of that city helped must effectively lead. This brief account of the Springfield fight against "jim crow" schools has been duplicated here in less than a year, a shorter fight than the one there because we have had the benefit of the precedent established when the battle there was won. Our people here, discouraged early in the local fights, Cleveland for Editor Smith. He came and duplicated his Springfield address, efforts and success with the result that Ohio Afro-Americans have a second big victory to their credit against "jim crow" schools that have made them as well as those of our people throne in country extremely happy. The Dayton fight, like that at Springfield, has been won. Thank the Dayton fight. We have only one regret and that is that the loyal member of the race who instituted the suit against local "jim crowism" in our public schools died a few days before the triumphant court decision which given us a victory we have been struggling for so many months. Mr. Darl Reese, who started the court action just referred to, died suddenly, last week, and was buried at Piqua on last week Wednesday afternoon. Rev. O. W. Childers of this city officiated at the funeral. Mr. Reese leaves a wife and two children, was 50 years of age and had spent about 17 years in Dayton. He held several positions of trust, and at the time of his death was engaged in the trucking business. On the Friday following his death, the court of appeals rendered a decision in his case against "jim crowism" at Garfield school. The indented clipping tells in substance what it was. Bars "Jim Crow" Schools. Holding that segregation of white and colored school pupils on account of color lines only is not within the discretion of the board of education, the court of appeals, late Friday, overruled that body's demurer to the writ of mandamus suit filed by Barl Reese. Reese seems to enforce admittance of his son, colored, to white classes in the Garfield school. Board of education officials maintain that separation of classes is made on account of backwardness of some pupils. Colored teachers are given charge of some of these classes. In its decision the court of appeals de- M-UNION IS BREAKING LE COPY FIVE CENTS ools!

The board of education is denied the right to segregate colored pupils in school buildings here by a decision filed in the court of appeals, Friday, in-which a demurrer of the board to a mandainus action brought in common pleas court by Earl Reese is Mr. Earl Reese. overruled. Reese, residing in the Garfield school district, had filed a mandanus action against the board, seeking to prevent it from housing colored pupils in separate quarters there. The appeals court decision pointed out that the school board has the right to use discretion in its assignment of pupils but cannot resort to strict segregation. Paul C. Stetson, school superintendent, had declared that separate classes for colored pupils had been formed to give employment to colored teachers. Dayton Journal. The victories, at Springfield and Dayton, against "jim crow" schools, after many months' of fighting in and out of the courts, ought to satisfy even the Ohio Ku Klux Klan and its allies that they cannot win along that line in this state. They, the victories, ought also to be most encouraging indeed to our people everywhere in Ohio and cause them to redouble their efforts in the courts of every community to secure all their rights and privileges under the laws of Ohio and the country. ALBINOS IN AFRICA! Opposed to "Race Antagonism"— Mankind In inevitable to Drift Toward the Tropics, Says Author And Professor I was standing at my gate (In Africa), last evening, watching the sunset, when a merry group of Negroes (natives) loitered by, with laughter on their lips and joy in their hearts. In their midst walked one who, at first startled glance, I could have: mistaken for a naked white girl. Among those jubilant youths and maidens, black and brown and sepist-red's she alone, remained grave and self-contained. As she passed me, her white-lashed eyes peered across wonderingly and I realized that this was that strange contradiction of nature's laws, an Albino. She hailed me mockingly, "Nna Onolca" (How do, man?); and I effected a sad smile from her colourless features by the courteous answer: "And how are you, Fellow Fellow-skin?" For, rightly or wrongly, the Negroes (natives) believe that the Nordic race lacks something essential of the sun's vitalizing power, in being so pale and negative, amid a natural world that absolutely shouts with variegated colors. Looking after that crowd of Ibos, as it disappeared toward the native village, and marking anew the corpse-like whiteness of that female albino's flesh, I found myself assenting to the postulate that mankind must inevitably drift towards the tropics in the distant future. I am heartily against any theory of "inevitable" trace antagonism. Living as I have done for a quarter of a century among black people, my heart warms toward them.—J. M. Stuart-Young in N. Y.

Dr. Washington's three children by his first wife were left only the home-site at Tuskegee, Ala. Wonder why? --- Monroe Mason's newspaper publication apologies for the neglect, mistreatment and segregation of our people, by the Coolidge administration, make one very "tired". He ought to stop it, even if he is a resident of Boston. --- Profs. Geo. W. Cook and Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., are to be "let out", next year. In that time they ought to do much to help the school's alumni association to get rid of President Durkee. But will they? The Riffians of northern Africa are a "game lot". They have fought the French and Spanish troops "to a standstill" and are soon to be offered "peace terms" in Morocco which it is thought they will not accept. More power to them! --- It certainly pleases us greatly to see Dr. Alexander Turner, and especially Mrs. Leota Henson Turner, of Detroit, showing the right spirit and determination in their contest with those lawless K. K. K. elements in that city, and sincerely trust they, the Turners, will win. More power to them and their kind of members of the race. The Memphis white people seem to have had an awful hard time raising that $3,000 fund for Tom Lee, Afro-American hero, to purchase himself and family a home. Week before last they had only $2,400 of it, after many weeks' effort, and hoped to raise the remainder, last week. Lee, you will recall, saved a score of whites when a steamboat sank near that city, several months ago. Draw your own conclusions. --- Phil Randolph, editor of the N. Y. Messenger, was called a "contemptible skunk" by a University of Pennsylvania professor in a forum meeting at Philadelphia, recently, who apologized on demand of the presiding officer, another professor, a member of the faculty of Swarthmore college. Randolph and the "Penn" professor spoke on Haiti but the latter could not bear to listen to the former's recitals of the french outrages on the natives of that little republic by its southern "cracker" American (marines) Control. They are hard to believe, it is true, but are nevertheless true. Randolph should furnish that professor with proof. If he does, he will be doing some very effective work for both the man and Haiti. One can not help but marvel at the distinction between the behavior of the police in the recent race riot on Spokane Ave. and their behavior under other circumstances. It would be interesting to have an investigation of the failure of police to do their duty in the protection of Dr. Alex, L. Turner. Dr. Turner is the victim of the blind race prejudice which exists against the Negroes. The police are presented the Spokane avenue for $40,000 and the so-called whites were so enraged at his moving into the neighborhood that he and his wife were mobbed. Stones were hurled in large quantities, wrecking the windows in his automobile and home, and destroying much furniture. Scores of police apparently lacked the ability or the will to quell the disturbance. The Detroit police department is said to be well equipped for the purpose of suppressing riots. We have heard of armored cars, riot guns and tear-gas bombs. There is no report of instruments in the house brought to protect Dr. Turner and his cultured wife in their right to occupy their home. Are these tools of suppression to be used only against labor in the struggle for better conditions? An intelligent person is THE GEEVUM GIRLS moved to censure severely those who engaged in the outrages against the doctor and his wife. The opinion which many persons hold of the Negro race is, after all, but blind prejudice and unbiased judgment must concede that Negroes are frequently better behaved and worthy of more respect than those who commit outrages against them. That is apparently the condition in this case. Both the doctor and his wife have considerable educational attainment. The behavior of those who rioted against them creates the presumption that their mental processes are not adjusted to the situation of a man. It is fortunate, indeed, that a large number of people fail to understand that all races of men must live together in harmony to achieve the greatest possible social welfare. Until that condition of mind is developed, the possibilities of the recurrence of such outrages as happened on Spokane avenue are always imminent. Such outrages are not always based upon prejudice against Negroes. They have, upon occasion, happened against foreigners, though probably not having the same disastrous results. People frequently dislike having Jews, Poles, Russians or Italianes moving into their neighborhood as much as they dislike Negroes. They have, upon occasion, wipe out this prejudice. Until that time the best that can happen is for the police department to extend impartial protection to all. It is not socially healthy to see such a distinction in efficiency as has been evidenced in this case.—Detroit Labor News, (white). To us the "distinction" shown by the Detroit police in this instance is but positive proof of the influence of the ku klx klan of that city just as it invariably has been in the case of other cities where similar lawless demonstrations have been made. A thor investigation of the Detroit police's disgraceful failure in Dr. Turner's case ought to be had if for no other reason than to enable that city to clean out the K. K. K. influence in that important part of the city's government and thus save Detroit from experiences in the future that will make it the "laughing stock" of the entire country, even the South. It was not only prejudice that moved that law-defying Detroit mob to action in Dr. and Mrs. Turner's case but JEALOUSY added to the ku klux sentiment all of which coupled with the damage it did to the Turner Spokane Ave. property but shows the thin veneer of civilization possessed by the great mass of American whites. "Hold the fort", Mr. and Mrs. Turner! And let the loyal and manly Afro-Americans of that city support you fully and to the limit. The knowledge of the fact that there are a few U. S. Army riot guns in the new Turner residence with World War veterans of color to handle them will end the K. K. K. mob's activity in that vicinity. SEND THIS TO GEN. BULLHEAD. Gen. Roy Hoffman, (white), in a letter to "The Black Dispatch," Tulsa, Okla., week before last, said among other things, of the 93rd British of colored troops which he commanded: "Regiments from my division were the first to cross a bridgehead into German soil. We had the first two American privates to receive a foreign decoration. "Of the 27 posts selected for the establishment of monuments to the memory of American troops on the battle line, by the Battle Commission headed by General Pershing, four of the number are positions taken and occupied by the 93rd Division. "The 93rd never lost a position, never made a retreat, and only had five men. They attained every objective. Each regiment was decorated as a whole with the war cross, and this to only two or probably three other divisions in the American army." Ninety Per Cent. of Fund Raised. New York City.—Ninety per cent of the $5,000,000 Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund has been subscribed, the committee announced Sunday, leaving only $500,000 to be obtained in order that the conditional gift of $2,000,000 from George Eastman might be assured.

New York City—Harry Wills, Jack Dempsey's nemesis, who is patiently waiting for the daylight last week Thursday evening knocked out Charlie Weinert, resurrected Newark veteran, in the second round of their contest, which was scheduled to go fifteen rounds, and received $50,856 for so doing. Wills's triumph was expected, but not with such sadness. The bout found Wills in excellent condition, as usual, and fighting cleanly as he always does until he has battered his rival down. Weinert's master at any stage of the brief fight, proving an easy target for Wills' heavy body blows and his staggering crashes to the jaw. In the first round Weinert was knocked through the ropes out of the ring by a stiff right. In the second round, Wills poured a furious battery of rights and lefts to the body and jaw of his opponent which floored him only to have the referee's count of ten end the one-sided battle. A large crowd dressed in nines for the show for the emperor, at the Italian Hospital fund benefit held in the Polo grounds. Weinert received $8,904. Names of Jack Dempsey and Jack Kearns are still on New York's ineligible boxing list as the result of a lawsuit. Wills challenge of some months.arg Another Account. New York City.—The Wills-Weinert bout was a crime from the start. Charley is to be credited for his gameness, but more than this nothing can be said for him. He was outclassed by a bronze giant who weighed thirty pounds more than he did, and the wonder is not that he was knocked out in the second round, but that he did not receive mortal injury. The bronze giant delivered almost at the onset not only raised a big bruise, but cut the flesh just under the kidneys. The humane fans were relieved when Weinert was finally revived in his corner and able to leave the ring. Simmons Wins Again. Wilberforce, O.—E. R.

Seven States Enacted Theirs in The Last Ten Years—The Dyer Bill A Copy of The Pioneer Ohio Lawyer Ralph R. Dyer Washington, D. C.—Seven states have passed new laws, for the suppression of lynch-murder, during the last ten years and two others—Oklahoma and North Carolina—have strengthened their laws against the "great American crime". In all there are now thirteen that have special anti-lynching laws. The four, passing new anti-lynching laws, are Kansas, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Two of them—Kentucky and West Virginia—may be classed as home states. Others are in North Carolina and Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Smith's pioneer Ohio law, was several times introduced in Congress, and its discussion greatly aroused public attention to the evil. The bill was pending when the latest Congress adjourned, as usual. LIBERIA TO GROW RUBBER. Relief From British Ursury in That Industry Sought By American Interests Led By an Obio-am. Akron, O.—Liberia, Africa, is to be developed. American interests, headed by Mr. Harvey Firestone, wealthy rubber-tire manufacturer of this city, have practically concluded negotiations for a large concession in Liberia to be utilized in the growing of plantation rubber on a large scale. This is the first step in the plan of American manufacturers to break the strangle-hold and power of the British combine, since the formation of which, more than two years ago, the price of crude rubber has risen from 17 cents a pound to 85 cents! With the conclusion of the tentative agreement, regarding the concession, arrangements are also being made for the disposition of a $5,000,000 loan which will be used for the refunding of outstanding obligations and for internal improvements in Liberia, particularly with respect to ports, highways and roads. The Liberian government has been invited to send to the United States a financial commission to handle the details of the loan agreement. a real champion and to describe his victory one must deal in the superlative, because he forced his way to the finals by defeating some of the best players in the country. His victory was a clean-cut one, due to his terrific and accurate service, his net attack, his use of top spin, and his court generalship. Four players were ceded by the tournament committee of the Western Tennis Association, they were as follows: E. G. Brown, a general champion, and Richard Hudlin, Nos. 1 and 2, while E. R. Simmons and Dr. O. B. Williams were given 3 and 4, respectively; a general upset occurred when neither of the first two ceded players reached the finals. Tellings Trim Former "Cleveland Browns".

New York City.—A Wills-Dempsey match at the Polo grounds on Sept. 18 was the ambitious program outlined, Monday, by Jimmy de Forest, matchmaker for the Charley Stoneham boxing interests in this city. Wearied of the official run-around being given this situation, DeForest plans to go before the New York state athletic commission to ask permission to negotiate with the parties concerned and to ask recognition as a responsible promoter seeking business. The board can do no less. It already has gone on record as giving official absolution to the proceedings and cannot now reverse itself without losing caste. The proposed action of de Forest was to move Kearns to run "until" on the Wills situation to wit: that no responsible promoter had indicated his willingness to swing the transaction. It seems to be the final showdown for Kearns and Dempsey. Being Held Without Bail. Price, Utah—Four men (white); local residents, believed to be the ring-leaders of the mob, which recently took Robert Mashall, Afro-American miner, only suspected of murder, from a posse and lynched him, have been arrested and confined in the county jail, without bail, on a charge of first-degree murder on information filed by O.

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 cement in this city in his act of enacting white people, 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 Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and was embracing an exorbitant 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 held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a coloration appeared after a police officer 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 Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the state of the other favorite and leader of the segregationist Col Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cateries 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, and thus just eating, 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, comfotable lounges and other equipment for rest, social ability, and recreation, and nothing if 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 a large collection of equipment ever 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. I was told that the general day before it was to come 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 promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees on contests picketches and accuracy 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 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, 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 bats 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 his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, fence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He had to evacuate the setting the building after its 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 for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial of the conditions complained of exist, and the names of my informants. I know the few informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925. that it cannot take up the case. I 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 complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three 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 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 notorious for her philanthropy among our people, upon intimate terms at the White House, appeared at the bureau to tell our girl 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 loca 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 had come to town to visit White House and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. 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. 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) (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 Abraham Lincoln. If it were believed 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 know 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 more than 100,000 groves 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 toiletes, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Here the segregated clerks are forced to work in the enforcement at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene at the presidents' residence, that two thousand digners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing 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 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 Burcans 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 standing. The Jews are still 890 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. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without rights; they 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. - Beston (Mass.) Guardian. MODEL MARKET PLANNED IN FRISCO GIGANTIC TRADING PLACE TO FURNISH PRODUCE AT LOW PRICES. TO BE KEPT MOST SANITARY Hundreds of Stalls Will Be Constructed of White Tile—Everything to be Kept Under Glass. San Francisco—Plans have been completed for the building in San Francisco of one of the largest and most sanitary retail produce markets in the world. The market will be located at Eighth and Market streets, in the heart of the business district, on a $1,750,000 tract of land. Hundreds of stalls will be built in white tile. They will be rented to farmers and butchers and orchardists and vegetable growers, at a price probably of $30 a month. It costs the average grocer $250 a month to bring his goods to the people. The difference will come in the price of the goods to the people. The plan, as outlined by one of the members of the syndicate, is to build a structure 100 feet wide and 550 feet deep, the full depth of the property. The place will be called Central Park market, and will form one of the features of the civic center district. Seattle, Baltimore, Boston and New Orleans have similar markets, which are a feature of city life. In Seattle, where produce is said to be from 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than in this city, stall renters live as far away as 400 miles, shipping fresh stuff every day to the member of the family that sells at retail. Eggs may come up from the peninsula district every morning and find their way fresh to the housewife. Vegetables may come in from the ocean shore district. The river boats may unload in the channel back of the market, where the hauling price will be considerably lessened. Meat, instead of being piled up in bales for fingers and flies to file at, will be wrapped in oil paper, with the weight stamped on the outside. Vegetables will be sprayed with ice water. Everything will be kept under glass, or in packages, where dirt and dust cannot get in. Back of all this vision of a great cheap market lies the will of Andrew McCreery, who decreed that the property could not be sold in parcels by his heirs. In his lifetime he had many offers to sell parts of the land. But he held on and paid the taxes and waited for the time to come when it could be used as a whole. Since his death several offers have been made to the heirs, but they involved a ninety-nine year lease, and the McCreery brothers did not want to lose control of the property. They shared the ideas of their father about it. Under this arrangement they retain control of the property and at the same time derive an income from it in the rental of stalls and stores. EXCITE BOYS TO DO BAD ACTS So Says Judge in Sentencing Two Youthful Offenders. Stroudsburg, Pa.—Judge C. B. Staple has sentenced William Devore, aged 15, and Frank Tales, aged 12, who attempted to wreck a Pennsylvania train near here a couple of weeks ago. The former to the Huntington reformatory, the latter to Glenn Mills reform school. Before passing sentence the court censured certain moving picture concerns, and instructed the district attorney to act as censor of the same. Widow Burns Her Money. Washington.—Again and again it has been established that "the First National Bank"—the old stocking, the teapot, the chimney recess and other secret depositories for cash—is no more surely safe than established financial institutions. Now the family kitchen range is discovered to be deficient in security and the confidence of the hoarder of money is shaken in its last resource. "Account of my mother's habit, hiding her money in the oven at night for safety, she has burnt eight dollars Sunday morning," writes a New Jersey correspondent to the secretary of the treasury, under a seal that also inclosed blackened) ashes of burned paper. "I am sending you the ashes to see if you could help us, as mother is a widow and needs the money badly. It was one five and single bills." The expert examiner of mutilated and burned money has a lens on the remains. It is probable that the denomination of the bills will be determined positively—as has been done before under seemingly impossible circumstances—and the amount restored to the poor widow. Greer's Mud Muddle Mumbles By ERSHIRGREER (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago) For there is the case of the widow's pig, which chewed up her money after finding its hiding place in the kitchen. And when the pig was cut open the digested money was forwarded to the United States treasury and the denomination determined without much trouble. So nothing is impossible to this expert. Detectives Force Woman to Surrender Valuable Unset Gem. Shreveport, La.—A $250 unset diamond proved to be a jonah in the mouth of Katie Beatie Brown, negress, domestic and self-styled widow on a recent afternoon when Detective Reidheimer detected the woman as she started to swallow the gem. Calling for Detective Williams, who was in the station at the time, Mr. Reidheimer seized the negress and grabbing her below the Adam's apple before the jewel could reach the epiglottis, the officer, by a fine series of osteopathic maneuverings with his fingers, slowly forced the woman to disgorge the diamond. Messrs. Williams and Reidheimer were slightly bitten in their successful efforts to rescue the gem. Col. S. W. Neville of 909 Texas avenue, notified Chief Gray that he had lost a valuable diamond pin. Detective Reidheimer was assigned to the case and a short investigation convinced him that the gem was in possession of Katie Brown, a negress, who had been employed as a domestic by the Nevilles. The detective, learning that the negress was about to leave the city, was watching the railroad stations and was rewarded by the sight of the Brown woman and her mother as the former was checking her trunk to Marshall, Tex. He placed the woman under arrest and took her to the station, keeping a close watch on her movements. Just as Kate was told to empty the contents of her hand satchel for inspection she made a quick move to her mouth. The detective was the quicker, however, and after a brief struggle, the gem came up. BOLTS CLASS LINE TO OBTAIN HIS DEGREE New York.-J. Donald Duncan, one of the Columbia seniors, who was graduated recently, actually swam for a degree of bachelor of arts, and he swam as he never did before and probably never will again. It was 9:30 a.m. m. when Duncan discovered he could not have his degree, because he had failed to pass the swimming examinations. With a yell of dismay he broke from the already-formed line, casting off garments as he ran for the gymnasium pool. By the time he reached it he was in a proper state of unattire to make the plunge. He hesitated for just a moment, for he never liked the water. Then the thought of his degree came to his rescue and he tumbled in. He swam until exhausted, and yet not enough. The music from the class room came floating to his ears. He put forth renewed efforts. At last the goal was reached. The professor attached his signature to Duncan's papers, and the ink was as wet as the young man's hair as he again hurried panting into the line. He had been gone just eleven minutes, but it was sufficient to obtain his degree.

Atlanta, Ga. — Mrs. James Maner, living near Gilmore, on the Marietta car line, is planning a trip to Miami, Fla., to inspect a legacy valued at $10,000, left her by a tramp. This does not lend itself readily to the fancy, but this time fancy will have to brace up and take it like a man. Truth may be more of a stranger and all that, but the legacy is there, and traveling expenses for Mrs. Maner to go down and view it—$50 in the hand, with a lot of legal assurance. "Eight years ago," she said, "a man came limping into our front yard. He looked like a tramp, and then again he didn't look like a tramp—I mean his clothing was rogged and worn, and he was limping from an injury to his foot, and yet he didn't have the manners of a tramp, if you could call them manners. "The man was penniless, he said, and in trouble. I felt sorry for him. I took him in and gave him some dinner, and then 10 cents to pay his way to Atlanta on the trolley line. He seemed very appreciative, and insisted on taking my name and address down in a little book." It seems that the tramp did not lose the little book. And after eight years back came the bread from off the waters, only it was multiplied to a fold entirely out of step with scriptural precedent. Mrs. Maner paid no attention to the first information that the legacy had been left her. it required an urgent appeal from a Miami lawyer and the proffer of traveling expenses to make her realize that an estate consisting of several houses and some land had really come her way at the expense of a dime, a good dinner—and a bit of the milk of human kindness. RECORD-LENGTH BEARD. Old Cha, That Thinks His Chin Crop Is Longest in the World—Trails the Ground.

"Old Man" Hunter, as he is usually called by the people of Buffalo Valley, is a hermit and a very eccentric character. He lives in a small hut a few miles from any neighbor and is seldom seen by anybody. When asked how he sleeps at night with his long beard he replied: "Oh, I jest tuck it under the covers, long with its owner." BIRD IS KILLED BY GOLF BALL.
