THE RHINELANDER "MESS" "Kip's" Wealthy Dad Spoils His Romance With a Girl, His Wife, Born in England, Daughter of a Colored Father and White Mother. White Plains, N. Y. — Counsel for Alice Jones Rhinelander, bride of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, finally admitted in court, last week Wednesday, that his client had "Colorado blood," in the trial to amelior their marriage on the ground she had concealed her origin from him. Mrs Rhinelander, dressed in a simple black taffeta dress trimmed with white hair collars and cuffs, sat not more than ten feet away, from young Rhinelander her attorney, L. P. Davis, continuing his address to the jury, assailed the Rhinelander millions as attempting to "crush a concededly humble family to save what they consider to be an ancient name. Calls Kip Rhinelander a "Nat." "The Rhinelander millions, not Leonard's, but Philip Rhinelanders are back of this move. The defendant got in contact with a stummering nut and that's the one reason why they say you should release him from this girl. They say she led youth to the Hotel Marie Antollette Thero Rhinelander began to get more intelligent. He knew enough to sign as man and wife and because he remained with her for four or five days, opposing counsel says, you should release him. Judge Mills Rhinelander counsel, says she admitted to Rhinelander she had been the mistress of another man—although they say she admits to that, they say that she deceived him." "Drugs Her Into Slime." "Not enough that this son of wealth comes into a humble home and takes this girl, but because papa gets cross he drags her into the slime to get rid of her." Atty. Davis then pointed to Mrs. Jones (white), mother of the defendant, and said: "Not content with dragging the girl in the dirt they went to drag this lady with her." Mrs. Rhinelander broke into sobs. He (Dávis) declared the whole issue in the case was whether the defendant had represented to the plaintiff that she was "pure white." Treated Kip as a Son. "The courtship of these two took place in the humble Jones home," said Mr. Davis, "and during this courtship there was hardly a night that Rhinelander did not accept the hospitality of the Jones family. We will show you that this boy was treated as a son in the humble home and that he ate and drank with them. There he was introduced Brooks, admittedly a Nurse and Alice's sisters, the Brooks' baby, and I will show you her picture to show she is black. Gentlemen, they interpose mental unsoundness into this case, but they should have claimed blindness. I do not want to sling mud but if they introduce those letters they have (referring to the love letters sent Rhinelander by Alice) I will wreck this boy. These two people lived happily together even after the newspapers published the stories of Negro blood. But pretty soon there appeared in their New Rochelle apartment a fellow dressed in a sweat shirt like a prize fighter. He was Leon R. Jacobs, of counsel for Rhinelander." "Stole Rhinclander Away." Then Mr. Davis told how Jacobs stole Rhinelander away from his wife in a closed automobile. The first witness called was Deputy Court Clerk Frank Coffey. Judge Mills, Kip's attorney, offered in evidence the naturalization papers of George Jones. Alice's father; the birth certificates of the Jones children; and the marriage license of Leonard Rhinelander and Alice Jones. In all instances, except the Rhinelander marriage certificate, "black" or "colored" described the race of the Jones family. On the marriage license of young Rhinelander and Alice Jones their color was stated as "white." When Klp took the witness stand, last week Thursday afternoon, he told how he became acquainted with Alice (in September) and her sister, Grace, in 1921, calling on the former "almost every evening". His lawyer then read a number of Alice's letters to Klp. Under direct questioning, Rhinlander described the night of December 23, 1921, when he and Alice motored to New York to see a theatrical performance. She said she intended to stay overnight at the hotel, "Marie Antoinette". Tells of Going to a Hotel. Rhinlander sprang a surprise on his counsel when he said he then suggested he stay with her, and finally persuaded her, after twenty minutes' pleading, to permit him to. His counsel had charged, herotofore, that she influenced him into staying with her. They registered as Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, of Rye, N. Y., and stayed for a week. He left her to spend Christmas eve at his father's home, he testified. In January they went to the hotel again, he said, and stayed two weeks. Rhinlander testified he loved Alice. He said she made the statement that she was of Spanish extraction when he had re- turned in April, 1924, from Arizona where he had been sent by his father, Philip Rhinglander, and that he believed what he told him. Flashes Wedding Ring. Rhinglander says to an nervous perspiration stood all over his green Reading of Alice's love, letters to him continued. While Judie Nilsen read the first letter, Kirk's book looked squarely into his face. He spirited uneasily. They say to Kirk about fifteen for apart. She was her red wedding ring and seemed to purposefully keep it in his sight. Judie Nilsen, after reading the letters, reported to examination. "Before you went to the Marri-Antoinette hotel was anything about marriage or engagement?" "No." "When you came back from the school did you burden your off-engaged?" "Idiot." The marriage took place on Oct. 14, 1924. Only 2 out of 456 miswrites written to the young artist at his bride were introduced during Rhinglander's two days on the stand. Mrs. Rhinglander's attorneys say they have a trunk full of his letters with which to return fire. The Rhinglander family is one of the oldest, wealthiest and most aristocratic in New York City. Mr. Jones, father of Mrs. Rhinglander, is a New Rochelle "Negro" tax-driver. The Question To Be Decided The outstanding issue in the case, however, the issue to which Lee Parsons Davis, attorney for Mrs Rhinelander, refers again and asks is whether Rhinelander knew his wife to be colored before he married her Davis maintains that this is the only question to be decided by the jury, and all his evidence will be marshalled to show that if Rhinelander did not know his wife had colored in her veins that she was the daughter of a "Nerro" he must have been blind. The skin of Mrs Rhinelander's arm, neck and back is much darker than that of her face. She will show the purity so that they may judge for themselves whether Rhinelander could have been blind to the episode. Davis also has a number of letters from Rhinelander to Alice Jones to prove that when it open to recompense Leonard was no more backward than Alice. Another defense move, to prove that the aristocratic youth was aware of his bride's "Nerro" orkin, was the testimony of an Afro-American doctor who was called this week. His testified as to a conversation which he had with Rhinelander, when he was called to attend Mrs. Rhinelander during an illness. Still another witness was Robert Brooks, the unmistakably "Nerro" brother-in-law of Mrs. Rhinelander, whose testimony showed that Rhinelander knew that his bride had "Nerro" blood. When Kip Pal resumed the witness stand, he was haggard and drawn. His attorney resumed the reading of Alice's letters to him. They wore fervent with expressions of love, eye. On cross examination, later in the day, Kip admitted that he had lost control of his annulment suit against his wife, that he had objected to the introduction of her love letters to him and that he had not been convinced she was colored when he signed the complaint against her. Kip also admitted that it was not within his power to control his own law suit against his wife and that he was powerless to prevent use of his wife's letters. All through this battle of question and answer, Mrs. Rhinelander was slumped in her chair, her face burped in her coat and tears flowing steadily down her face. She had cried a little at other times during the trial but apparently, Monday, was overcome by emotion. Nervous and pale. Kip gripped the sides of the witness chair. Tuesday, as he underwent the fire of moreless cross-examination by his wife's attorney, Lee Parsons Davis. "So when the complaint says you did make inquiry as to her color, it is false, isn't it?" asked Atty. Davis. "Yes." "In your sworn bill of particulars the third paragraph states you repeatedly discussed your wife's color with her from May to October, 1924. Is that so?" Rhinelander hesitated. "No," he finally answered. "There are four paragraphs in your bill of particulars and there are five falsehoods in them?" "Yes," answered Rhinelander. White Plains, N. Y., Nov. 18. Leonard Kip Rhinelander visibly began to wilt today under a merciless, steady cross-examination that dragged from him intimate with his wife, a relationship with his wife, from whom he now seeks freedom, Stammering, red of face, he struggled through a maze of questions put Strikes at Prejudice of Race and Creed and Defines Liberty to the Co-operative Club. "We are seeking to divide this country against itself by stressing prejudices of race and creed instead of making ourselves 100 per cent American by forgetting these prejudices." Presiding Judge Manuel Levine of the appellate court told the Co-operative club at a luncheon meeting in The Hollanden, Monday. The willingness to fight, and if necessary, die for the freedom of another woman's liberty by Judge Levine. If a kind of justice was prejudicial founded on a trial bail and not a false decision based on one's personal dislikes and prejudice. I am so proud to be part in the struggle of the American man to think right if he is to take care of him. If we will have our free in the hands of the government and will be able to open monate and other Judge Levine said. "We need the rule of a free man and a free man is one who is free to act when in accordance of a duty when out of power he is used." PENN, FRED CAPS, REAL MEN: New York, Cap. W. C.

Once during the afternoon young Rhinelander turned to Justice Morschauser and complained that he was tired. A ten-minute recess was granted. Again late in the afternoon, in the midst of personal questions, he complained of fatigue. Adjournment was taken for the day, and Rhinelander left the stand, his face drawn and haggard. THE SWEETS "MURDER" TRIAL THE SWEETS "MURDER" TRIAL A TENNESSEE "CRACKER", A POLICE OFFICER, SHOT TO KILL, Detroit, Mich. The second week of the "Sweet's" trial found the prosecution's case almost finished. Witness after witness has been forced into damaging contradictions by the merciless cross-examination of Attorney Darrow and Hays. Three of the prosecution's witnesses have admitted they saw persons throwing stones at the Sweet house just before the shots were fired from it that resulted in the death of one and the serious injury of another, both in the crowd outside the home. One of those witnesses was mentioned in my last letter. Last week Tuesday, two boys, both called as witnesses for the prosecution, said they saw two other youngsters throwing stones at the Sweet house. The first of the two, George Suppas, age 14, of 2996 Garland Ave., said he saw five boys throw stones across the street at Dr. Sweet's house. He did not know how many stones were thrown, he said, and he did not hear the breaking of glass. Says Stones Hit House. Says Stones Hit House. The second body, Uric Arthur, age 13, who lives on Harding near Waterloo Ave., was more definite. He saw the stone throwing, he said, and saw one or two of the missiles hit Sweet's house. He heard the sound of glass breaking right after the throwing, he said, and added that the dring followed closely after the breaking of glass. Arthur also introduced testimony of an incident not shown by any previous adult witness who was in the district at the time of the shooting. He said that he saw an auto drive up to Sweet's house, that two colored men got out of it and entered the house, and that the stones were thrown immediately after the auto drove away. Neither son was able to identify the stone throwers. They did not belong to the neighborhood, both said. The prosecution's witnesses toed nearly 75, the last one testifying, last week Friday. Court was adjourned. b. Brown, all of whom will be assigned to chairmanships of subcommittees.—Wm. Pickens, a see. of the N. A. A. C. P., was in the city.

THE GREAT SMITH FAMILY The great family of Smiths bear a name which is not only the commonest but the oldest in the world. Prof. Mahaffy, when decliphering the Petric papyri, came upon one bearing the name of Smith, unmistakably written. "We have never," he says, "found-anything like it before, and it is surely worth telling the many ungrilled bearers of the name that has never known us in the twentieth year of the third Ptolemy, 227 years B. C., and that he was occupied in brewing and selling—beer!" SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN UNION IS STRONGER LE COPY FIVE CENTS HING "MURDER" TRIAL KER", A POLICE OFFICER, TO KILL, His Opening Address for the row's Statement of the of the Case— g the End. last Saturday noon, just after Mr.thur Garfield Hays, of counsel for the defense, had moved for a directed verdict of not guilty, in the case of each defendant, and also for the striking out of all testimony of the state's witnesses. Monday, Judge Murphy denied this motion, and Mr. Hays immediately made the opening address for the defense, beginning by quoting Lord Chatham's famous remarks on a man's home being his castle. "A man's house is his castle; the poorest man in his cottage bids do. finance to all the forces of the Crown." he quoted. "It may be frail, its roof may shake, the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter, the rain may enter; but the King of England can not enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of that ruined tenement." Discussing briefly the right of self-defense. Attorney Hays then described Dr. Sweet's early life and his struggle for an education. At his request Dr. Ossian H.-Sweet, Dr. Otis Sweet, a brother, Honey Sweet, a third brother and a student in Wilherforce University, and Mrs. Gladys Sweet, Dr. Ossian H. Sweet's wife, stood up. "Do they look like murderers?" Mr. Hays asked the jury. He described also events surrounding the purchase by Dr. Sweet of his home and the circumstances of their moving in. "Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, were devoted to the examination and cross-examination of the defense's witnesses. The case will in all probability be closed, the last of this week. Last Saturday, following Mr. Hays, Attorney Darrow said among other things: "If the State could prove positively that any one defendant fired the fatal shot without provocation, the defendant could not be convicted unless a conspiracy were proved. These people bought a home, moved into it, and had a right to protect their home under the laws of every civilized country in the world. The court has no right to deal in consequences, but I hope that this case will not be destructive to racial harmony. These two races, sewn together as they are, must acquire consideration for each other. "The state has failed utterly to make a case. I believe the weak point in the prosecution is that even if an agreement between the defendants did exist, what is the agreement? There is not a word of evidence that they agreed to shoot without sufficient provocation. Somebody may have fired too quickly, but these defendants were there for a lawful purpose. The evidence of a guilty combination must be so conclusive as to exclude any reasonable doubt and must establish a criminal conspiracy as set forth in the bill of particulars." Testimony. Monday, by our people, showing that a crowd ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 had assembled in the vicinity of the Sweet home on the night of the shooting, and that such inflammatory expressions as "Kill the Negro." "Shoot him"; and "Don't let him get away" were heard. The defense scored a strong point through the testimony of Edward G. Smith, colored, but white in appearance, who stated that his wife was a white woman, and the they had lived in the Garland Ave. residence, purchased by the Sweets, for two years prior to the sale. "Are you a Negro?" asked Prosecuting, Attorney Robert M. Toms. "I am supposed to be." he answered. He stated that he lived at 4624 Bremont St. and was a real estate dealer. Lucus Riley, 253 E. Forest St., also colored, told of searching for a home for Dr. Sweet, later negotiating with Edward G. Smith for the Garland Ave. place. Several other witnesses were heard. Attorney Hays stated in his address, Monday morning, that the defense would prove that only one man "shot with aim to kill and that was a Tennessee police officer." "No one shot Breiner intentionally," he continued. "No one could pick shim out in the crowd. Had these defendants shot to kill many would have fallen. Only one man shot with aim, and to kill and that was a Tennessee police officer. Who knows but what his shot killed Breiner? At the time these shots were fired these defendants thought their lives were in danger. They sought only to avoid-mob violence to themselves, the ruination of the property and the bombing of the house."

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1926. The N. A. A. C. P. had raised $6.- 022.69, on Nov. 13, '25, of its $50.- 000 anticipated fund. Its segregation case will reach the U. S. Supreme Court about Jan. 1, '26, it announces. The great criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, said in another address at Detroit, Sunday: "One hundred per cent Americanism is a slogan for selling prunes". And it is the slogan of the K. K. K. Possibly that explains in a large measure Mr. Darrow's very pertinent comment. A recent Birmingham, Alabama, letter, to the Cleveland (O.) Daily Metal Trade, on the "Negro Exodus" (to this section from that section of the country), calls attention to "the improved housing conditions" for our people in Alabama industry as a result of the exodus. It also takes pains to call attention to the fact that the old "general customs remain unchanged", which means that the treatment of "Negro" laborers in Alabama has NOT improved. The same letter announces that a few of our workmen "who joined the exodus, now are drifting back"; that they are not quite so docile as they were before they left, and that others "would return but are unable to pay transportation expenses and the costs of re-establishing themselves". In some cases the service of the workmen who returned to Alabama "is not any better, if as good, as prior to the exodus", the letter says. The North can spare and will be pleased to have all go who wish to return South to the "unchanged general customs". Indeed the North ought to; as a matter of fairness, if for no other reason, pay the transportation expenses of all who wish to return. Their kind are better off in the South and the North (especially our people of this section) is better off without them. As a matter of fact they cannot leave too soon.

The home was beautifully decorated and well-lit, by Mrs. Maxwell, pres. and Prof. Homer Henderson, director and organist, rendered an exceptionally fine program. C. M. Dabney, master of ceremonies. Rev. L. H. Brown opened the program with prayer. A reading by Mrs. Lulu Noble Smith and a solo by Mrs. M. T. Williams followed.

The inmates' table was a beautiful sight, profusely decorated with candles, favors and turkeys. Surely God was working his wonderful will thru Mrs. Jackson. It is also simply impossible to express in words how the community's full appreciation of her. May her kind ever increase in number.

Forest, Miss.—Sheriff Floyd McKenzie, of Scott County, is receiving the plaudits of newspapers and of prominent citizens for his fidelity to duty in saving from a threatening mob Marsh Rushing an Afro-American prisoner, and protecting him in his constitutional right to trial by due process, law. A court compelled assault. Rushing was arrested and hurried away by the sheriff to Jackson, the state capital, where he was placed under the protection of Gov. Whitfield. There he "confessed the crime and expressed willingness to plead guilty." Arrangements for his trial were secretly made and he was brought back to Forest, taken before a special session of court, plead guilty, sentenced to imprisonment, and, before the community realized what was happening, was on his way to the prison farm. ROBINSON'S PHARMACY Anti-Lynching Stand by Women. Jackson, Miss. — Representative Mississippi women, leaders in many important religious and civic groups, have launched a determined campaign against lynching and mob violence in this state. The opening gun was the following statement, which was framed and adopted at a statewide meeting of prominent women held here on call of the Mississippi Interracial Committee: CUT-RATE DRUG STORE 3001 Scovill Avenue, Corner E 30th Street. PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS— REGISTERED DRUGGISTS Thirteen Years' Experience in the Business A Full Line of Southern Hair and Toilet Preparations Sodas, Candies, Cigars, Photo Supplies, Toilet Articles of All Kinds, Etc. Try A Bottle Of Our Cough Medicine! CORNER E. 30TH STREET AND SCOVILL AVENUE "We believe in only the single standard of morals for all races, and unquestionably in the protection of the womanhood of the races. We also believe in the law, and that it should under all circumstances be respected and upheld by all citizens. For any crime and desire to register our protest against lynching or any other form of moh violence," This statement has since been presented before other important gatherings of women and has in every case been adopted without a dissenting vote. It is understood that efforts to crystallize public sentiment against lynching will be pushed throughout the state by interracial organizations. Promoted by the state, that say, that the mobilization of the women of eleven other southern states along similar lines has been followed in every case by marked decrease in the number of lynchings. 621 THE GUARANTEE TITLE BLDG. Cleveland, Ohio HOWARD DEFEATS ATLANTA! Washington, D. C.—Howard University kept its goal line inviolate in conquering a hard-fighting Atlanta University team in a spirited gridiron joust before 5,000 spectators on a rain-soaked, muddy field, at the American League park, last week Friday afternoon. The score was 7 to 0. The mudrunning "Bisons" were in real danger only once, when the mudmearned Crimson Hurricane team threatened Howard's goal line. In the third quarter, Wright, stellar Atlanta University end, intercepted a 5-0 Grizzlies before he was overtaken and thrown by "Biff" Martin on Howard's 13 yard line. Beginning Oct. 3, Howard has won every game played, this fall. This includes games with Morgan, N. C. State and Livingstone colleges, J. C. Smith, Wilberforce and Atlanta universities, and W. Va. Collegiate institute. Members of the Mortgage Association of Cleveland Main 189 We've Brought New York to Cleveland! Beware of a Cold A cold means danger.

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, when mummies of President 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 has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, working with workers, people, and black 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 Democrat. It was begun by Republican, and 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 papers, is tenacious, held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored civil appeared after having passed the best examination, having 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. North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the segregation Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. We do 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, at a loss to understand why he does not provide him with solid 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 child tenets of the civil war, such as "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gloucester) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department caferies 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 at the more when they perfect that they are far more able 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 the sole objective. 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 presence 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 post-office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, who asked me 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 white over him, one after another, through much of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the working class. 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 most of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables, a few seats, and a few covered 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, elsewhere, employees pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work felt the injustice in his work so keen 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, hence he carried the police, and when an accident 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 he was no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have requested the department then taking the position 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (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 noted for her philanthropy among our people, was appointed 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. Osama bin Laden to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait 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. They are GATED 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 opportunities in medico-educate talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still honoring 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, it 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 know what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain 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 tax increases, the war is contested, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarse 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 lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for the colored are few in such large numbers. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience 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 a large building, and a way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at Pe-ru-na is backed by the verdict of two generations, more than fifty years of success. SOLD EVERYWHERE TABLETS or LIQUID F 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 their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The 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 that their 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, the 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, amouncing the election of 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 Burcus 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 employ- Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. 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. W & E Is the result of doing all things well at all times. That is the Wynne & Easley creed from which there is never a deviation.
