CAN'T STOP BAREFOOT MAN The Judge Release One Who Has The Habit. Chicago. Ill. — Charles Meyer (white) has as much right to walk barefooted on the streets when it's 5 below zero as a polar bear has. So ruled Judge Albert B. George of the municipal court, Monday, when Meyers was brought into court, barefooted. by a police officer. "It was 5 below and I found this man walking barefooted," the officer charged. Meyers was angry. "Your honor. I demand my constitutional rights. There is nothing wrong with me. I was on my way to the courtroom to get a parer and this officer arrested me. Gear barefooted is good for the feet." Judge George is Chicago's only Afro-American jurist. "Southern Social Equality." New York City.—Another chapter in the hectic career of Mrs. Nora Douglass Holt Ray, New York and Chicago society woman, was written, recently.

HUGHES' HEIR SELLS Her Rich Inheritance to Millionaire Neighbors, Associates of Her Benefactor, the Father of Her Son. Lexington, Ky.—Ellen Davis, the 80-year-old servant, who first became mistress of a Kentucky millionaire during slavery days and was willed his property at his death, has sold her rich holdings to a group of millionaire associates of the late Col. John T. Hughes, her benefactor. Had she desired, she might have lived in the $500,000 estate at Elkton, this state, as the neighbor of such millionaires as Joseph E. Widener of Philadelphia whose Elmendorf estate adjoins; or John E. Madden, whose great Hamburg estate is nearby; or Samuel D. Riddle, Walter Jeffords and others of the select group who have built up an exclusive colony in Lexington. But the aged woman who became the common law wife of one of Kentucky's leading sportsmen and reared for him a son, Robert Henry Hughes, preferred to sell out. Son Will Also Sell. Her son, whose relation to the millionaire was admitted in the long court trial in which the millionaire's relatives fought Mrs. Davis, will also sell out and go to Buffalo, N. Y., to live. He has already spent most of his life there. Alex Rankin, another old servant of Col. Hughes, who was also remembered in the sportsman's will, has decided to live on the farm left him. Joseph Widener has already purchased a large part of the land, while Payne Whitney of N. Y. City has bought the Hughes mansion. The new owners will soon take active possession. The Hughes will case, carried to the highest court in this state, attaining the title of judge. Mrs. Davis beat in open court the attempts of some of Kentucky's wealthiest families, relatives of John T. Hughes, to break the will. She succeeded in having the courts uphold her position as Hughes rightful wife, the mother of his son, and as the heir to his vast holdings as designated in his will. Additional Locals Florence Mills, erstwhile star of Broadway (N. Y. City) and the "Shuffle Along" Co., and recently at the Palace in Cleveland, is to make her debut as a concert singer at the next concert of the International Composers' Guild when she will sing a group of four songs with jazz orchestra, composed for her by William Still, a young Afro-American composer. The jazz orchestra will be conducted by Eugene Goossens. The jazz suite is called "Levee Land." A jury, undoubtedly prejudiced, in Judge Thomas E. Green's court, after fifteen minutes deliberation, brought in a verdict, last week, of not guilty in the case of Shelby Farrow, of 4608 Central Ave., versus the Medina restaurant, W. Superior Ave., in a criminal discrimination case. The jury dismissed that Farrow pay fifty cents for a baked apple. Atty. Harold M.

Harris. The report is the result of ten months' work by twenty-two men representing eleven different nationalities. Some of the phases investigated are: Sources of migration, effect on cities and farms, north and south; causes of migration; effect DOINGS OF THE RACE.

Rufus P. Turner, a student of the Armstrong Technical High school, Washington, D. C., has just started operating a broadcasting station for the Augustine's Roman Catholic church. He is said to be our first to operate a station under government license. He is also permitted to operate 3LF from his home and 3JF from his office. He first attracted attention in the world's smallest radio receiver, built on the shaft of an ordinary pin. Queer "Christians"!! New York City.—Rev. W. A.

Boring, obtaining settlement of $150 from Mr. Hovlin for the purpose of cancelled on the ground he was a "Negro" and the only one of that group who had sought to go. on industry; effect of the infux on housing, health, crime, education, literacy and other conditions. Build apartment houses on the sites now occupied by disreputable frame houses to solve the racial housing problem. Thus spoke our old friend, "Noomdy" . N. D. Brascher of Chicago, an editor of the Associated "Negro" Press (a news dispenser and not a newspaper.) H. advised Cleveland thus to improve the 11th and 12th wards, occupied by our people, in address to the Business Association, on last week. Cincinnati, Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago, he said, have reduced racial competition for residence sections in that manner. Some rents in the wards mentioned are higher than the service furnished is worth, he continued. An exhibition of national progress in housing, and a spring pageant of 500 people was proposed at the association meeting. Seventeen men faced police court, Monday, on gambling charges as a result of an early morning raid upon the Waldorf club, 4715 Central Ave. Arthur Johnson, living at the address, was charged with suffering gambling and the others charged with gambling.

Beasley Carwell, age 14, a granddaughter, who is alleged to have witnessed the affair, will be the principal witness for the state, it is assumed whom weekly occurrences in ward 11 will be. And still our ministers and other called leaders in that section, absolutely refuse to even try to better the sad conditions existing here. --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN UNION IT IS STRONGER TELLS WHY PEARY LEFT COMPANIONS. MacMillan Says Explorer's Afro- American Volunteer, Matt. Hens- son, Was the Best Man In the Party. Chicago, Ill.—The reason Peary sent back his five white companions and took an Afro-American with him on the last leg of his trip to the north pole was told by Commander Donald B. MacMillan, one of his companions, in a radio address here, Monday night. The address was broadcast by Station WJAZ. "The rest of us were tenderfeet compared with Matt Henson of New York", said Commander MacMillan. "Hensor is probably the best dog driver in the world, today. He could talk the Eskimo language like a native. He could get along better with the natives than any of us; the Eskimo man in the party who could build a snow house. He made every sledge and every cook-stove used on the route to the pole. Henson was altogether the most efficient man with Peary," continued Mr. MacMillan. "Relying to skeptics who had questioned the authenticity of Peary's discovery, Commander MacMillan said Peary's veracity had been repeatedly proved. "By Marvin and Bartlett's observation he was only 120 miles from the pole when they left him, and he was stocked with food enough to go 60 miles beyond it. Peary said they traveled five long marches after we left them, sufficient to reach the pole and go ten miles farther," said Commander MacMillan. PRIME SPORT NEWS Ski Was Married To Dutch Girl. Rotterdam, Holland. — Myheer Appeiteren, aged father-in-law of Battling Ski, who was slain in New York, recently told how the Senegalese wooed and married his daughter. Appeiteren ran a boarding house here five years ago. Ski was among his guests and thus met his daughter. She was 18 years old at the time, and well educated. The parents opposed the marriage of the girl to the Senegalese, but she never lessened the demand to heed their warn- ings and declined an offer of marri- age from a Ylenese lawyer. Myheer added that although the couple had been living apart, they never were legally divorced. He said that after defeating Georges Carpenter and running the World Cup he we- tried his sponsorship. Ski lost his head. In the father-in-law's opinion the death of Ski was a merciful release for his daughter. She had left her four-year-old child, with its grandfather, fearing that Ski would try to take it away. Ski's widow is now living in Paris. Dempsey Must Fight Wills. New York City.—The state athletic commission has again warned Tex Rickard that he is "playing with fire", if, as stated in the daily press, he is negotiating for a Dempsey Tunney heavyweight title match, next summer, while Dempsey still is on its ineligible list here. James A. Farley, chairman of the commission, made it clear that he considered Rickard fully subject to the board's jurisdiction, that it frowned unqualifiedly on any negotiations for a Tunney championship match so long as Harry Wills is on road to earn the nation's official challenger and that the promoter would find himself "in bad" if he took any steps calculated to violate the commission's rulings. Good! Philadelphia, Pa.—The Pennsylvania state athletic commission has approved an offer made by Philadelphia promoters to Jack Dempsey for a bout with Harry Wills for $500. Philadelphia, the fight to take place in the new municipal stadium, in this city. The New York nouncement stated that Dempsey had wired to Chairman W. H. Rocap for the best terms, opponent and date for a bout in Philadelphia. Beatty "Resigns" Resignation Cincinnati. O. — Lee Beatty, another "special" assistant U. S. district attorney, last week announced that he had resigned, effective Jan. 31. He is the former member of the Ohio Legislature who fathered the worthless "Beatty bill" intended to weaken Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio civil rights law, some years ago. Of course the bill was killed in the committee never reaching the floor of the legislature. Due a Carnegie Hero Medal. Hammond, Ind.—But for the action of Lawry, Magee 65, the Panama Limited, age 60, to New Orleans, the crack train to the Illinois Central, would have been wrecked, recently, and many lives lost. Williams was picking up coal along the track when he discovered several spikes had been removed from the rails. Officials were notfied and the train halted a few miles from the city. The spikes were re-loaded into the train with its cargo of human treasure resumed its trip. The aged Afro-American was given a few dollars donated by the passengers.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1926. Last week, a white judge in Cleveland dismissed an Afro-American barefoot man, and the first of this week, an Afro-American judge in Chicago returned the compliment by dismissing a white barefoot-man. So goes the world inspite of the fool-efforts of kluxers and their kidney. Murders and lesser crimes are certainly multiplying in the Central Scovill-Woodland district of this city, these days, and have gradually been getting worse, if that be possible, ever since the holidays. And still our ministers and other so-called leaders in that section refuse absolutely to make even a move toward bettering conditions. LORD, HAVE MERCY! St. James A. M. E. church, East End, inaugurated its two weeks' dedicatory services, Sunday, when it entered its new edifice at E. 84th St. and Cedar Ave. The pastor, Rev. Joseph M. Evans, has surrounded himself with an exceptionally loyal official staff, and backed by an equally loyal congregation has certainly done splendid work while in this city. The Gazette congratulates both pastor and congregation and wishes them continued success, spiritually and financially. "Though Admiral Peary has been dead several years, he (or his memory) is paying the penalty for having taken an Afro-American, instead of one of his own people, with him on the last lap (120 miles) in his famous dash for the north pole. Prejudiced asses are now doing all in their power to discredit Peary's well established and generally accepted claim to have reached the pole, the only person to do so except his faithful and efficient companions, the Afro-American, Matt. Henson of New York City, and his Eskimo assistants. The carpeting, mendacious and prejudiced critics have apparently lost all sense of shame, catering to their hatred of the Afro-American. Atty. Louise Pridgeon by clever sleuthing has furnished the state with a new and important witness, in Fen Marshall, in the prosecution of the alleged murderers of Frank Morrison, slain two months ago by a Woodland Ave. mob of white hoodlums, most, if not all of them, Jewish young men. Our city federation of women's clubs and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. better watch this case closely of the guilty will escape punishment thru political and racial influence. Our people of this city should be just as active in this case as the Jewish people are very properly in all cases where a number of their group is killed by one of our people. A case in point, the latest, is the Steeck affair for which both Ross and Young were convicted in the local courts, last week. Rah! for Mrs. Pridgeon. She's the right kind. Several weeks ago when Atty. Perry B. Jackson became manager, it was currently rumored that there had been another upheaval in the Pioneer Pub. Co., which issues the Cleveland Call, that had resulted in the elimination of Herbert Chaucey, pres., and Howard Murrell, treas., this also "automatically" removing the latter's brother, E. E. Murrell, who it seems was foreman of the job printing outfit on a part of which, at least, he holds a mortgage, it is said. It now develops that W. H. Harrison has been elected pres., Perry B. Jackson, secr. mgr. and editor, and G. L. Cheatham, vice-pres. and treas. Current rumor has it that Mrs. Taylor, wife of Dr. Oliver A. Taylor, put over this latest coup and caught Herbert Chaucey and Howard Murrell "hat-footed", just what it is said they feared at the recent annual election of officers of the Empire Savings and Loan Co. at Mt. Zion Cong, church or temple. The Call certainly has had a checkered career as far as change of management or control is concerned. There is no field in Cleveland for two race papers let alone three or four. A number of our people have wasted thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to prove this statement untrue, and still they persist. Nineteen papers have they started in this city only to die, since the advent of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. This fact means nothing to some people, however. The "cock and bull" stories of the loss of thousands of dollars, stolen by employees, published some months ago by the Chicago Defender were swallowed wholesale by some people here it seems, with a very natural result—they craved to get into the newspaper business. The result is well-known in this community, now. Even when Editor Wm. Warley, of the Louisville, (Ky.) News, came to Cleveland, several years ago, and told many of the so-called leading Afro-American business men of the city "a mouthful of newspaper-business-experience-truth", that had little or no effect on them; did not seem to awaken them. Indeed, Cleveland Afro-Americans present a case where bitter experience means nothing, at least so far as the newspaper business is concerned. Go to it, brothers! May success attend your latest efforts. AS TO OUR CITIZEN RIGHTS. O. E. Watts, a clerk in the post-office, had the proprietors of the Park lunch (in the Park blvd. on the square) arrested and punished in police court of this city, last May, for refusing him service in their place of business. Each was fined $50 and costs. Then he had his attorney, Phillip Welas, enter suit in common pleas court against said proprietors for $500 damages under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. This case the Greek proprietors of the Park lunch settled out of court for $500 because they feared that Morris Fox, another clerk in the post-office, who was with Mr. Watts when both were refused service, would also enter criminal and civil suits against them, and wn them, of course. Mr. Watts says he could not persuade Mr. Fox to also vindicate his citizen rights in the courts because the latter was fearful that he might lose his government job. Right there is where our readers have concrete and fierceful illustration as to why the race's progress, toward the attainment of a fair measure of its civil rights in this country, is so very slow. There are far too many like Morris Fox, if what Mr. Watts tells us is true. They are not only entirely too fearful when it comes to contending for rights and privileges denied them, oft-times after the most aggravating insults, but lack in another respect and that is they have not a full, complete and proper valuation of their citizens rights and privileges. The Watts kind of Afro-American must multiply many times before we as a race can make the showing in the courts, vindicating our citizen rights, that will force the respect from other races, classes or groups in this country we will then show we are entitled to. A right denied that is not worth contending for in the courts is not worth exercising, and the individual who will not thus contend for his or her citizen rights shows conclusively that he or she is not worthy of them. Boiled down, it is simply a case of being a man, a full-fledged CITIZEN, or a doormat. Which are you going to be? RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now it justifies and holds together the human universe and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."

As Emmanuel Ross, age 18 years, convicted slayer of Isadore Steeck, was taken from county pail, Wednesday, to Columbus to die in the electric chair, April 28, agitation for commutation of his sentence was started by some of our people and by Rev. Wm. H. Foukes, pastor of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart City Federation of Women's Clubs has held meetings protesting that, although Ross is much younger than King Young, age 32, convicted of the same murder, Young escaped with a life sentence. Dr. Foukes took an interest in Ross' case when the jail sent to the church for a bible Ross asked for. The minister went to him to add what service he could, and, after listening to his testimony, he sent to the matter would be brought to the governor. "Because Ross is ignorant, poor and without friends." Dr. Foukes said. "I am doubly anxious to see that he gets the chance. I am convinced that he is guilty and should be punished, but there are grounds for mitigation of sentence in his case."

THAT BABY YOU'VE LONGED FOR Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship. "For several years I was denied the blessings of mother," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter, and a true companion and inspiration to my husband and children of the other women I would like to meet for my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing Speaking of the Pittsburgh bank failure, the latest, a friend wrote us, this week, that he knew of an old lady of the race who sold her Alabama property and moved to Pittsburgh with the $4,000. "She put $1,800 in this bank and the rest in her pocket. She learned she had the money and never let up running after her until they got it," he continued. This is just what we have time and again called attention to, last week being the latest "call." The "skimmers" are in every community, particularly every large city, and with brief case or satchel in hand are after every one they think has a little money, for the money they want. "They stole" almost anything, to get the money. They are like vultures. Why don't our press and pulp do more to warn our poor, hard-working people to beware of them. One David Hawkins, fight promoter (white), was to stage a "Colored Charleston contest". Wednesday evening, at a local dance hall. He announced thru the daily papers that "regular ballroom dancing for colored people only would take place for the first time. Also that "a small part of the gallery would be saved for white people who wish to see the contest, and that no white people would be allowed on the dance floor as the event was exclusively for the people who made the Charleston famous". This is an example of "jim crow" requests for separate institutions of one kind and another, from "jim crow" wards in hospitals to the "jim crow" detention (Talbert) home, the Phyllis Wheatley home, etc. etc. If you sat still without protest when these and many other "jim crow" schemes were being hatched and pushed forward, you would see a different linee as gracefully as you can. Of course, it is all wrong and hurts and retards the race's progress. The Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., is now The Standard Life Insurance Co. of Arkansas, just purchased by whites for $750,000 from the Southern Insurance Co. (white) of Tennessee which got it for $275,000 when it was about to fail, some months ago. "Negro" mismanagement had all but ruined the company, according to Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist who started to do so only to find that those same "Negro" officials had even misrepresented the Standard's condition to him, the friend to whom they were appealing for financial aid. The story of the story of all the "Negro" bank failures, four or five in the South and two in Pennsylvania, the past year, and explains why so many of our business enterprises go to the wall".

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 indented and enclosed boundaries than 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. It was the largest of our parts President Washington trampled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting workers' rights, and black workers, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one, it was begun by Republican, and it is all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in the graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having received the best examination, then 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 who not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the social favorite of Secretary Mollie and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation force. Col. Sherrill, supervener of buildings and grounds, is the use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria 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. When their product that they are far more valuable 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 solitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilet. And all of this is dependent on 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 province building, it announced dawning and a pleasant social evening with the onus for the postoffice employees, yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. It incurred a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was come on, and, on the same day, it invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks gee 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 apprentices are often passed over through 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 man. The colored clerks have devoted to them union which has a regularly and uniformly many 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 some of the best and organizes of our girls are forced to accept interior 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 out from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caterer in this huge structure, but there are the employees may be, but there are a few who are an out-of-the-way 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 or 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 superior 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 Arro American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee. He was dismissed after he the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and 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 discharged. The police and our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial 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 never given a single name!' The denial that I cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1926 is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) (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 visited people and was whoon intimated 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 wert summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town and basked in the glory and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public school system. 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 names, most of them with high auto 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. We are still waiting for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. —The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appalled colorado since his incumbency. While hisdecessor Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for other areas. The colored are few in such a large number. 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, the class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons, and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling - 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 registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma facing. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly before the other in the segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American 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 system 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. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who sees injustice and oppression, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when you, I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) CHARACTER.

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, be out of violence by mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyning" within the meaning of this chapter.

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. BES. ed. g. representative of victim of lynching. injury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. inst 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 be any other court action imprisoned 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 therain. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concession be land or water, theater or other place for accommodation and amusement, denies 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 defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the new seeding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars in the case aggrieved therein, 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 good law and did not need amending, and putting letter from Judge Grant former president of Judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory. Akron, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. C. Smith. Editor: O. M. Dear Shutter, Observing your letter in the Beacon Journal, the 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 if the Beacon-Journal had known that going on in its own town there would be a court case for criticism editorially, THE LAW OF 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" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. Reading it, Reading COMBOY SCOUT TO HUNT FOR OUTLAWS' TREASURE. Money Is In Greenbacks Cached in Colorado Years Ago by Bill Doolin's Gang. Pemela Oka - Thirty-five thousand dollars in greenbacks are cached under a bowler which overhangs the railroad track at Kald Knob, Colo, according to Harry Rhodes, former cowboy and Indian scout, who has been on the border for fifty years, and Rhodes left this week for Colorado, accompanied only by his dog, to spend several months if necessary hunting for the treasure. He made the announcement recently and says he will spend the summer on foot in the mountains, his former haunts. The $35,000 was put there by outlaws, says Rhodes, nearly twenty years ago, and until recently he has maintained that it would be practically impossible to locate the money. He has changed his mind, however, and believes he has solved the problem. He says there is no doubt but that the sand, rocks and other debris have washed against and around the bowler, making it more difficult to locate. "This $35,000 was obtained in a rich haul made by a band of outlaws," said Rhodes recently, "but it became necessary for them to cache the paper money for the time being. They climbed the bluff, put the money in a cleft in a rock, and then, with crowbars, turned another bowler on top of the cleft. The money was wrapped in a piece of buckskin and then incased in some copper. I know that it has never been recovered and perhaps it may never be. "A banker living in Winfield, Kan., paid $1,500 to one man who claimed to know the location of the green-backs, for a map purported to show where the money was hidden. After almost a year's search, however, the banker gave up the job as fultile. Many others have tried to find the money during the past few years." Rhodes started life as a freighter out of Caldwell, Kan., when but 10 years old, driving a team of mules for his father. The team boss was Bill Doolin, later to become an outlaw leader in Oklahoma Territory. "LET TREES BE MY MONUMENT" Owner of 100,000 Catalpas Tells Sons Not to Erect Stone. Wichita, Kan.-K. K. S.
