Cohen, the leader of Louisiana Republics, and Comptroller of the Port of New Orleans, was recently found "not guilty," by the federal court, of charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. One of the eleven co-defendants repudiated previous testimony that Mr. Cohen had caused a customs boat to be maneuvered so as not to interfere with liquor movements. Henry Deaux, acting servant of the one who caused the customs boat to be shifted at the will of the rum-runners. At the time the charges were made against Mr. Cohen it was generally believed that he was the victim of a political "frame-up" engineered by those who objected to an Afro-American's holding such a responsible position. A "Coolidge" Color Line. Washington, D. C.—The Haitian government has served notice that an Afro-American minister will be peronna non-communion in a report. Scott was slated for this post. The precluded U. S. Naval control (southern whites) in Haiti is responsible for this alleged "Haitian government notice." Dr. Scott should expose it. PRIME SPORT NEWS PRIME SPORT NEWS MRS. A'LELIA WALKER Divorced From Dr. Wiley Wilson o New York City, Recently, By a California Court. New York City—A'Lella Walker, only daughter of the late Madame C. J. Walker, founder of the Walker Manufacturing Company, was a dashing and charming young lady of leisure, backed by wealth, culture and refinement. The doctor, equally cultured was handsome, too, and other ladies in the set in which they traveled, cast envious eyes in his direction, most frequently. Lella Walker, a native of about any show of luxury or other demonstrative details of wealth. This was probably in deference to respect for the late Madame Walker, who had but recently passed into the "Great Beyond." The period of a year's grace in mourning being over, however, the young couple soon engaged in entertainment upon a large scale, both the home on West 136th St. and the palatial mansion at Irvine-on-the-Hudson, being the center of numerous parties and picnic. Then came the "break" and divorce action. Chicago reports state that Mrs. Walker is already engaged to a prominent "Windy City" physician. Berlenbach Ready to Face Tiger. New York City—Paul was around the Madison Square garden, last week Thursday, while willing to take on Flowers, Feb. 5. Matchmaker Jess McMahon is figuring now on closing the match and may have it consummated in a few days. Manager Walk Miller said the Tiger would be glad of the chance to box for a title. So there will be a match between two left-hand hitters will draw many people into the garden. Paul Berlenbach is announced as the world's light heavyweight champion, having defeated Mike McTigue who was posing as the McTigue, a title he was no more entitled to than he was to win. Flowers, last week Wednesday night, here in this city at Madison Square garden. Greb Must Fight Flowers. New York City.—The state athletic commission, on Tuesday, accepted the challenge of Tiger Flowers for a bout with Harry Greb, middleweight champion, and notified Greb that he must accept the offer within thirty days or go on the commission's ineligible list. Walk Miller, manager of Flowers, posted a certified check for $2,500 to bind the match. Tiger Flowers Deliberately Robbed! New York City—In a number of years spent trouping up and down the land, this writer has seen a great many atrocious decisions handed out in the miscalled "squared" circle but he has never seen anything to compare with the verdict rendered by the Mike McTigue-Tiger Flowers ten-round bout at the Madison Square garden, last week Wednesday night. Flowers' margin of supremacy was so expansive that it would be putting too great tax on the most elastic imagination to ask anyone not at the ringside to conceive it. But McTigue was given the decision. To say the verdict was abominable would be to let it down lightly. One is strongly tempted to fall back on more expressive expletives in speaking of Flowers' will in all his battles by miles. He had McTigue flying the saffron flag from the first to the last; he showered him with a perfect storm of punches; he had Mike claiming foul and then trying to deliberately lose on a foul. And yet they gave McTigue the decision. And when they did (they judges Bernard Glimbel and Peter Brady; Referee Eddie Purdy voted for Flowers), the Madison Square garden became no place for a woman. You never heard as much cursing as issued from the mouths of the some 15,000 spectators. The Madison Square Garden was I heard many, many gamblers who I know to begood losers and men who never welch, scream they would not pay off on the decision. I heard many more who bet on McTigue who announced they would not accept the SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE SUPERIOR COURT A Mississippi Negro, charged with having murdered a white man, was found not guilty by a white jury before a white judge. They do once in a while acquit a Negro, even in Mississippi; and when they do the evidence is so clear that there is no shadow of doubt. The result was so extremely unusual that it was viewed with displeasure by a group of men—doubtless "leading citizens." As the acquired man walked out of the court, these citizens outcured him, but fumed him, and lynched him. The sheriff was "overpowered" according to custom. Many southerners are rather more than apologetic when discussing Judge Lynch. They are inclined to defend him as a useful institution. They say he saves a good deal of time and money, and makes justice certain. This refers, of course, to the many instances in which Judge Lynch acts before the regularly organized courts can get down to business. It assumes, too, that Judge Lynch does not just judge the court decision would have been But what about a case in which Judge Lynch acts as a superior court and reverses the judgment of a legal tribunal? It is to be assumed that the men who acquitted the Clarksdale Negro were representative and respected members of the community, and that they could not have given a judgment of "not guilty" but had any part of guilt. Already both the judge and the community have evidenced resentment. A determined effort is being made to bring the lynchers to justice, and several have already been arrested. Judge Lynch as a superior magistrate has gone too far. It is a case which shows the cruel wickedness and the unbelievable folly of lynch law, and presents a monstrous evil in its most repulsive aspect. — Editorial from Cleveland (Daily) Plain Dealer. Robeson in Russia New York City—A cable from Moscow, Russia, announces that Paul Robeson has been engaged by the management of the Kemeryn Theatre to appear in the title role of a new Eugene O'Neil play. Mike McTigue was never light heavyweight champion, according to the French Boxing Commission, Paris, France. The commission has always contended that McTigue's fight with Champion "Battling Sikl" (recently deceased) in Ireland was never an authorized championship contest, and Sikl himself said shortly after the fight that he was deliberately robbed—just as Flowers was, last week, in "little old New York". DeHart Hubbard. Cincinnati, O. — Crack Michigan runner and jumper Hubbard is scheduled to show at Madison Square Garden against international sprinters in a series of dashes that will feature the Milrose Athletic Association games in February. Flowers is After Champion Greb New York City—Walk Miller manager of Tiger Flowers, said Monday, he was going before the state athletic commission, Tuesday with a certified check for $2,500 to challenge Greb to battle Flowers for the middleweights title.

Applauded for Several Minutes When Introduced by Nannie H. Burroughs in an Anti-Segregation Drive "Peanut" Politicians Thwarted. Washington, D. C.—A can anti-segregation drive, sponsored by our women's clubs, in interest of the $65,000 defense fund now being raised by the N. A. A. C. P., in connection with the Sweets segregation case, made a splendid start, last week, and will, in all probability, prove a big success. Every obstacle to success was removed at the meeting, when Prof. Neval H. Thomas, head of the local branch, and the man who is putting the association in the office has held in Washington was given a tremendous ovation as he appeared before the audience that taxed the capacity of the John Wesley church. Had it not so happened, a serious fight in the lute was threatened by "peanut" politicians in the organization who were aiming to use the meeting as a bludgeon and swing it on Thomas' head, and he the only aggressive, unselfish leader the race has here in the nation's capital. Indeed, he is one of the three hapless in Washington country today. The ladies' clubs were called together to raise funds to send to the defense fund, regardless of the local or + organization. Had this been done, it would have been clear in New York that something was wrong in the national capital and that its local branch could not function, although the branch had raised $700, a short while ago. As soon as "The Washington Eagle" tipped off the ladies to just how they were being maneuvered, resentment set in. Prof. Thomas was brought to the fore, and the prolonged cheers and handclapping that greeted him at the meeting, last week, was the result of a feeling of injustice attempted. Atty. James McCormack, although it was that he was scheduled originally to speak. Cobb made a statement recently at the Musolotl club that the Curtis case, before the Supreme Court, did not question the right of white people to get together and contract to keep our people out of certain neighborhoods—but questioned the policy of the court in enforcing such law. Although Atty. Ashley Hawkins suggested that an Afro-American lawyer appear before the Supreme Court in the Curtis case, after such damage was considered unlikely until the attorney makes the remark thoroughly clear that he will be invited to address any other meetings or court proceedings with reference to segregation, although he has the local end of the case. EMULATING ALICE. A New Jersey White Woman in Maryland—Palman Determined to Marry. Camden, N. J. — A Camden Rhinelander case "with reverse English" developed, recently, in Elkton, Maryland's Gretna Green. A Camden white woman was under arrest there, with her would-be-husband and a Philadelphia woman of the race, charged with committing perjury, when they obtained their marriage license. The white woman is Mrs. Marie Fisher, age 50, 404 Taylor Ave. The intended bridgroom, Charles Palman, age 35, of the sameress. He is a member of the race and is now a boarder at Mrs. Fisher's home for women. She is said by neighbors to be a housekeeper for a wealthy family inchantville, N. J. The other woman is Mrs. Hattie Jackson, age 45 of 1332 Fitzwater St., Philadelphia. The license was refused because Maryland, a southern state, has a fool-law against intermarriage. However, Palman returned, the same afternoon, minus his glasses and this time with Mrs. Jackson on his arm.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926. Are many "Negro" newspapers a pack of cowards, that they fail to call the attention of their readers to the many "Coolidge" color-lines. It seems strange, passing strange, that so very few, very few indeed, ever even mention any of them Lord, have mercy! The race press is not like it used to be, years ago. "Peanut politicians", white and black, down in New Orleans, trumped up those charges against the Hon. Walter L. Cohen in an effort to dislodge him as U. S. comptroller of the port of that city so they could get the place for a white man. The black ones were "jim-crow Negroes"—those always used against us by prejudiced whites. Of course they were promised jobs or given a little tainted (political) "dough". That is the course always pursued. They failed this time. Thank the Lord for THAT! If Prof. Neval H. Thomas, the only aggressive and unselfish leader our people of the nation's capital have, is not very careful he will hold up to public view a thing that is harming more N. A. A. C. P. Jocal branches than those in Washington, D. C. and Cleveland. "Peanut politicians" are the bane of the race, in and out of its organizations. We are greatly pleased to see that Prof. Thomas has "dumped and bumped" them good in that city, at least once. More power to you, Neval! Give them what Gen. Sherman termed war, every time you can. The offender the better, for the good of the race everywhere in this country. DIRTY WORK IN PUGILISM. "Battling Siki" was taken advantage of in his contest with Mike McTigue in Ireland, a couple of years ago. "Tiger" Flowers was robbed of a decision in New York City, last week, at the close of his bout with this same pugilist, Pseudo Light - Heavyweight - Champion McTigue. He (Flowers) had much the same experience at Fremont, some months ago, in his contest with World's Middleweight Champion Harry Greb. Now comes the New York athletic commission, that compelled Jack Dempsey to arrange a match with Harry Wills after many months' dodging the issue, with a notice to Greb to accept the challenge of Flowers' manager which is backed up with a check for $2,500, deposited with the commission. The mills of the gods grind exceedingly slowly at times but always very fine—so fine in at least two cases, in recent months, that both Dempsey and Greb have had "to sit up and take notice". Good! There is entirely too much "dirty (crooked) work" in pugilism, too. HIS DEATH NOT IN VAIN. Much as the death of that unfortunate member of the race, lynched recently in Mississippi, is to be regretted, his death has not been in vain! It takes just such a terrible occurrence as that to convince many people in this section of the country that lynch-murder in the South, and everywhere else for that matter, is absolutely inexcusable. So very many people simply will not believe that hardly one-third of those lynched, each year, in this country are even CHARGED with having committed heinous crimes. And yet here is the case of a man being lynched right after he had walked from the court room in Mississippi in which he had been adjudged INNOCENT but a few minutes before. It cannot fail to have a tremendous influence for good upon the reading and thinking people of the country and help to crystalize the feeling against lynch-murder and in favor of proper legislation by the several states against the miserable southern practice. It may be that the Congress can enact an anti-lynching law that the U. S. Supreme Court will not declare unconstitutional but our leading constitutional lawyers in that august body are of the opinion that such is not possible. No; Lindsay Cole- man's life has not been sacrificed in vain. "COOLIDGE" PROMISES OF APPOINTMENTS. Where is that member of the Inter-State Commerce Commission or the U. S. Civil Service Commission the Coolidge "Negroes" promised our people during the last national campaign? We note the appointment, last week, of a southerner (white) to the I. C. C. by the President. Come, brethren, speak up! Aren't our people entitled to SOME "recognition" as well as the South which has already had much while we have had practically nothing? As a matter of fact, aren't we entitled to recognition than the Democratic and "illy-white" South? What say you? During the campaign you made our people promises supposedly with the consent of Coolidge leaders (white). We do not believe that Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.C., or any other member of the race, has ever been "slated" by the Coolidge administration for appointment as U. S. Minister to Haiti or any other country except possibly Liberia, Africa, as Editor Ben Davis of the Atlanta, (Ga.) Independent is reported to have announced. The promptness with which the administration has had its naval control of that country give publicity in this country to that old falsehood that "the Haitian government objects to an Afro-American minister" ought to be enough to convince all of the thoughtful that our belief is the correct one. Our leading men and women, and about all others of the race, are persona non grata to President Coolidge and his administration when it comes to Presidential appointments and about all others. All of our editors know this even if many of them are too cowardly to say so. Nevertheless, it is now up to the "Coolidge Negroes" to make good on their campaign promises or explain to the people why they are unable to do so—if they ever had any authority to make them. Another "Coolidge" Color-Line. Washington, I, R. C.-The name of Atty. Clifton R. Wharton of Massachusetts has been transmitted to the U. S. Senate as a nominee for secretary in the diplomatic service. He was graduated from the Foreign Service School, which was established to train American diplomats in international diplomacy, without the necessity of taking the prescribed course of training. This was done by the Coolidge administration because other students objected to attending a school with a "Negro" student. Lord! have mercy! To Establish an Art School. New York City—Under the direction of Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, (white), Will Marion Cook and associated artists will be presented in a group of spirituals, folk songs, jubilees and modern ensembles at the National Theatre, Jan. 3. Artists to appear will be Abbie Mitchell, soprano; Hann's Cotton club quartet; Dixie Jubilee singers, with John Cook and Russell Willoughby accompanists. The concert be for the purpose of establishing the "Negro" Art School, founded by Cook, Abbie Mitchell and Henry Creamer. A Howard Student Honored. Washington, D. C.-Following the meeting of the "National World Court Conference, held at Prince George's University by students representing the leading American universities and colleges, it was voted to organize a National Student Federation, the first national organization of its kind in this country. In the course of the selection of permanent student delegates from the different zones in the country, Miss Helen H. B. Howard University, this city, was selected by representatives of the South as a permanent delegate for that section of the country.

It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. 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 a series of 1900 and 1901 of unofficial 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 civil rights they are a burden without self-respect and have no 'guts'." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

Unquestionably, the Service Cab Company is rendering very effective service and proving a real asset to our people of this community, particularly. Few people could possibly realize the full extent of this service, unless they had had the opportunity to learn from the inside just what this enterprise is doing. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, the energetic and enterprising president and general manager, states that men and women of the race are paid $2,000 a week by The Service Cab Co. In addition, esteemed, esteemed, esteemed drivers, mechanics, stenographers, bookkeepers, telephone operators, totalling approximately 70 persons. Therefore, this is the largest business operated and managed by our people in the city, from the standpoint of both payroll and number of employees. Those who use its taxi-cabs say the company is properly named, because it renders real "service". A visit to the establishment in E. 40 St. near Central Ave., will repay anyone. Several weeks ago, The Gazette called attention to much that is common among pregoing to the word "readers to the word" that too many of our people are patronizing the other cab companies when not one of them gives employment to members of the race, as far as we are able to learn. One thing sure, we do not see any Afro-Americans acting as chauffeurs for any other Cab Co. in the city. "Pass the word along" until it gets to be the rule generally to do so. DEFENDS MISCEGENATION! Arthur Brisbane, the Well-Known Writer to Daily Newspapers, Taken to Task for a Fool-Expression—Mixing Helpful. Editor Cleveland Daily News:—Being a constant reader of your paper, I have noticed a comment by Arthur Brisbane on the Rhinelander case, in which he has injected the following personal element: "But nature's wisdom is in it, of course. It took thousands of years to produce the white man. The white man sincerely appreciates himself, wants to stay white. It's well for the race that he does." As a fair-minded person to all races, nationalities and creeds, it seems deplorable to me that our learned writer is unable to appreciate the fact that the joke is on him and all similarly deceived people. Perhaps he would do well to peruse the history of France, Spain and Italy to learn of their intermarriage with Ethiopians centuries ago, which has manifested itself in the dark hair and complexions of these peoples. But this has enriched the vitality of both body and mind and certainly not dulled the brains of the people. The reason this nor care anything about it, either. Here in America are those of so-called African extraction mingling, mixing and inter-marrying by the hundreds every year. Of this many are ignorant, and, like poor Don Quixote, actually live and die deceased. We are CALL. RANDOLPH 3280. "SERVICE", OUR MOTTO. W E Is the result of doing all things well at all times.

It is a victory of a former servant, her son and another former servant over white relatives of John T. Hughes, who left an estate of 1,300 acres of valuable land near Lexington and about $30,000 in personal property. The state Court of Appeals upheld the will of the rich turfman, leaving to Alex Rankin, age 96, six and a half acres of land for life. To Ellen Davis, 'my faithful friend,' the Hughes homestead of 270 acres, and to Robert Henry Hughes, son of Ellen Davis, a farm containing 160 acres in fee. According to evidence introduced at the trial, Ellen Davis was the slave of Hughes' mother, and Hughes was the father of Robert Henry Hughes, Ellen Davis' son, born when she was but eighteen.

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 laborers in this city in white workers,逮捕 white workers, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democrat institution it was begun by Republican, and carried by its all-embracing ex- 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 tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and her telegraph 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 Cootidge. From North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation force, Col. Sherrill, superintendent 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 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 tements 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 caffees 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. disadvantage 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, sting, all the pleasures they reject that they are far more canable 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 further in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com f o r t a b l e lounges and other equipment for rest, coability, 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 room there is a large display of merchandise attempted in the toilet. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very 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 postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he told me to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The ored clerk dressed to form a coat, 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.) (Special to the Guestroom) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps with the government's annual scheme of segregation. Six of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to infiltrar 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 in the employees may go, but there are a few offices out-of-the-way a 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, the law requires that a superior pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this 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, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his unhallowed face on the floor. Dewey recieved 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 dental 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 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, J SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) (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 and any way of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were nummarly 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 when the atrocities of Willard came to town 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 segregators, 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 Sumner and Frederick Douglass has 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 apts 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, 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 knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet New York's tax department can't be noticed. There is the samgeneral 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 further The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, look or rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure 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 woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize at 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 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 the 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 the 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 flood. In the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcans 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 employee 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. The anti-lynching bill which Congressman Dyer of Missouri and U. S. Senator McKinley of Illinois introduced last week, was amended by a new law. It functioned so to make it embody more of the provisions of our Ohio anti-lynching law. The officials of Shaker Heights village, not satisfied with having lost their case favoring "jim crow" schools, are appealing it to the state supreme court, it is said. They have gone thru the common pleas and appellate courts, and will undoubtedly receive the same treatment in the highest court of the state. This will be just the kind of treatment the Shaker Heights mayor and his officials need to convince them that this is Ohio and not Georgia or elsewhere in the South. Their persistence in the matter has a tendency to make one feel that it was not Dr. E. A. Bailley's purchase of that property. Drive Clerk Heights property that caused this court action, as alleged but that old "saparate as the fingers of the hand" (Booker T. Washington) segregation sentiment, or "established customs" (Calvin Coolidge) of the South.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. A person of any kind upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted by such person in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281.

(93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynch or not be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6238. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchage in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or murdered by the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (92 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another city, the mob may engage in song: been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows. BS. ed. . representative of victim of lynching bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. last member of mob. last another county. mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or man of an inn, restaurant, eating house or hotel shop, public conveyance by land or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the mannequin section shall also pay not less than five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or per person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to he fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was the only one need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eleventh District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained that the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OR OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gaetto certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your petromenge.—Editor. ulation! Reading it, Be er Reading Movement on Foot to Bring Body of Thomas S. Drew Back to LOST HIS FORTUNE IN OFFICE First Campaign of Land Owner, Buried In Texas, Cost Him Only Ten Dollars Pocahontas, Ark.-Cactus and mesquite now cover the neglected grave of Thomas S. Drew, one of the first Governors of Arkansas, whose body is buried in Hood County, Texas. A movement is on foot to have the State Legislature make an appropriation for bringing the body back for burial at Pocahontas, and a bill providing for such action probably will be introduced. Drew came to Arkansas when a young man and soon became a Democratic leader in the northern part of the state. He was appointed Register of Public Lands at Batesville, served as Indian Agent and afterwards held other offices. He and his father-in-law, Ransom Bettis, soon became the owners of considerable property. They held a tract of magnificent land in the territory between Current and Black Rivers, known far and wide as Cherokee Bay. In 1844 Drew was nominated by the Democritic party to run for Governor and was elected. A story is current in Randolph County that marks a wonderful contrast between the campaign of that day and the expensive campaigns of today. When he received the nomination, the story goes, Drew sold one of his slaves for $1,000 in order to get funds to run. On his return home, after canvassing the entire State, it was found that he had spent less than $10. It is said that this was for horse-shoeing and ferry hire. In early days of honest simplicity, a candidate was received with open arms everywhere and it was usually considered an insult to offer to pay the host. In 1848, Drew was re-elected Governor, an honor conferred on but one other man while the term of the Governor was four years. The salary of the Governor was then $1,800 a year, and with a large family to support, Drew soon found himself on the verge of financial ruin. While serving the second term he resigned and returned to Randolph County, telling his friends that he was forced to do so in order to support his family. His property dwindled, his father-in-law, his wife and other members of his family died and cares bore heavily on the now "old man." In an effort to retrieve his fortunes Drew went to California, and for a few years fought against the fates. But he was staggering beneath the augmented weight of years and sorrows and soon returned to Pocahontas. A widowed daughter moved to Texas and that he might not be cast on charity of the world, he went with her. He died soon afterward. His father-in-law, his wife, and other members of his family were buried here in what is now the south part of the city, in their private burying ground. As the city expanded and grew in population new streets were laid off. One of the streets was located over the identical spot where the bodies were buried. For many years the graves wer neglected. Robt Hamil a few years ago took the matter in hand, and had the bodies buried in the Masonic Cemetery. The grave of Gov. Drew is in Hood County, Texas, covered with wild cactus and mesquite. A slab has never been erected. In 1911 C. E. Henderson, then Senator from this district, introduced and passed through the Senate a measure to bring the body back to Arkansas. It was defeated in the Lower House. Dream Imprisones Boy for Seven Years Russellville, Ala.—Julian Mines, who has been a voluntary prisoner in his home for seven years because of a dream his mother had, will break his long period of restraint on his approaching twenty-first birthday by walking to the business district of Russellville. The family has kept the date of the youth's birthday a secret, but it is known to be near, and the appearance of young Mines on the street is expected to attract considerable attention. When the boy was 14 years old his mother dreamed a spirit from heaven came to her and told her that if Julian left his home again before he was 21 he would be stricken dead. She told the dream next morning and Julian was so impressed by it that he consented to remain at home. Since that time he has not passed through the He has had the freedom of the yard, and day after day stands at the fence talking to his boy friends. Some of them visit him, and sometimes when they are on the street to play football or baseball the ball is thrown the ball to him.
