Former Charge d'Affaires Thoby Files a Memorandum with U. S. Senators and Qur Government. Washington, D. C.-Hon. Perceval Thoby, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires here are representatives of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, has filed a memorandum, setting forth the bad conditions prevailing in his country as a consequence of the maladministration of American Occupation officials and the acts of the U. S. Government, which he will soon file with Senators King and Borah. In it, Mr. Thoby outlines the indictment of American Occupation under the following main heads: 1. Popular elections have been deferred in violation of the Haitian Constitution, and the President of Haiti has been designated by an unlawfully constituted council of State which the President, by appointing his friends to it has managed to keep in control. 2. Haitian currency has been depreciated, thus lowering the standard of living among the people, and the national debt has been maladministered. 3. The Haitian land laws have been changed, requiring documents and land titles of peacekeepers who have been killed in the land and cultivated it, without having had to prove ownership by documents. The new laws have been used to de- CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

By a secret and unlawful agreement, the period of American control over Haiti has been increased from 10 to 20 years in order to assure the $40,000,000 Haitian loan floated by American banking institution. "The material as well as the moral welfare of Haiti," states Mr. Thoby, "demands the immediate abandonment of the actual policy and the withdrawal of the Occupation. The country has no voice in its affairs and since 1917, when Col. Smedley Butler brutally expelled from their seats the Haitian activist, the former Haiti has had no constitutional representation. So in the meantime, without the consent of the Haitian people, secret agreements were signed with the American government in the guise of a so-called additional act for the renewal of the treaty of 1915, signed by Mr. Borno, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, and William M. Blanchard, then Minister the 28th of March, 1917. That additional act has never ratified by the United States Senate and is a violation of Article 16 of the treaty." week.

New York City.—Glowing tribute to the actor, singer, athlete and man, Paul Robeson, is paid in a lengthy article in the "New Republic", this city, for March 3, written by the well-known essayist, Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant and entitled: "The Man With His Home In a Rock: Paul Robeson". "Paul Robeson is not merely an actor and a singer of Negro spirituals, but a symbol," writes Miss Sergeant. "A sort of sublimation of what the Negro may be in the Golden Age hangs about him, and imparts to his appearances an atmosphere of affection and delight that is seldom felt in an American audience. He is one, and clear cut, in the Greek or primitive sense. This sureness of essential being takes him across the concert stage, as it did the football field, with it, the signature of strong athletic body, which is the reflection in action of an inward goal. He has never seen a Georgia road gang but when he sings 'Water Boy' the very accent and spirit of the Negro laborers enter into him and come out in that poignant vagrant song, one of the most beautiful in all folk music. Yet I have never seen on the stage a more civilized, a more finished and accomplished artistic gesture than his nod to his accompanist, the signee of the final seal of Paul Robeson's personal ease in the world. Even a southerner would have difficulty in negating its quality and elbowing its creator from the sidewalk." Miss Sergeant tells of Mr. Robeson's fine relationship with his majestic preacher father; of the boy's leading his classes in college and being elected to the honorary Phi Beta Kappa society; as well as being called by Walter Camp, who named him twice on the All-American Football Team, "the greatest defensive end that ever trod the gridiron." A conclusion of her essay, she compares Robeson with the great Rus Tolstoy, opera singer, Fedor Chalipin, and writes: "Let us give thanks that we were not born too late to hear this Negro Chalipin render the spirituals reverently, with wildness and awe, like a trusting child of God."

SARAH ZEIGLER SMITH The 16-year-old heiress to the millions of a wealthy Poughkeepsie manufacturer started New York's first business she had become the bride of Charles Edgar Smith of Huntington, Pa.

SWEET'S TRIAL DATE IS SET. Dentist Brother of Medic Will Face Jury, Monday, the Prosecutor Detroit, Mich.—Retrial of the cases growing out of the slaying of the mobocrat, Leon Breiner, last September, while a mob of whites was gathered in front of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet's new home at 2905 Garland Ave., will start, March 15, when Dr. Henry Sweet, brother of Breiner's court jury on a trumped up charge of murder. The brothers and Leonard Morse will be the first defendants to be given separate new trials, the prosecutor's office believing more "trumped up evidence" exists against them against the eight others accused with them in the original cases, which were tried jointly. It was testified that the trumped up evidence that he fired a rifle from an upper front window of the house. According to the testimony, he said he shot over the heads of people standing on the opposite side of the street. There was also "testimony" that Morse was standing in an upper room with a shotgun in his possession, and that Dr. Ossian sweet saw him in this position, just before Robert M. Toms announced that the new date of the resumption would remain a tentative one until it had been agreed to by Atty. Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense. The jury in the original case, last November, after 46 hours was unable to agree on a verdict. Since that date all defendants have been at liberty on ball. The 11 are also at liberty with result of intent to kill as the result of the wounding of Eric Haughberg, 2918 Garland Ave., another mobocrat, simultaneously with the shooting of Breiner. HER LOVER A SUICIDE WHITE WOMAN SEeks DEATH Washington, Pa.—While leaving a local undertaking establishment, last week Friday afternoon, where she had viewed the body of Clarence Streibling, age 29, suspended member of the local police force, who ended his life. Thursday night, in the lodge of the local police station, Josephine Lemley, age 25, (white), attempted to end her life by swallowing poison as she stepped into a taxicab just after leaving the morgue. The act was frustrated by a woman with her, who grabbed the bottle just as she raised it to her lips. Some of the poison got into her mouth, badly burning her throat. In the hospital where her condition was reported as serious, Streibling was married. His wife hasn't taken any poison as yet. Yes, both are "Afros" Eurkee Has Resigned! Washington, D. C.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RAPS THE KU KLUX KLAN IT IS "HOT! RIGHT OFF THE GRIDDLE"! Atlantic City, N. J.—Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes (white) of the Chicago district of the Methodist Episcopal Church, denounced the Klu Klu Klan during a sermon delivered, last week Wednesday, before the New Jersey conference over which he presided“Talk Makes Him“Sick.“Hear me, despite your prejudices, for Christ's sake.” Bishop Hughes pleaded.“If we keep on with our silly prejudice, we will cause the black, yellow and brown races to combine against Caucasians and then God help the white people of the world. All this talk about the Nordic races makes me sick. It is not so many years since your ancestors and mine were ranging the forests of northern Europe and they did not when they killed a deer they ate it raw and bathed their whiskers in its blood. Some of those who are prating most loudly about Nordic races do not know what the term implies. Remember, too, Afro-Americans have never been found among the anarchists in our mast." Kluxer Nonsense Heresy and an Outrage. The attack on the miserable K. K. K. by Bishop Hughes came during a reference to the anti-slavery work of Bishop Gilbert Haven of Malden, Mass. "It same old nonsense is going on today," Bishop Hughes declared. "It is the same old heresy and it is an outrage. I have received some mean communications recently but I will not hold back my peace. The Afro-American has never gone back on that flag" (pointing to the Stars and Stripes draped across the pulpit). "For years past in my travels over this country I have seen more of colored Pullman porters than I have of my own wife and family. They are a fine faithful class. They are a fine faithful class.

Miss C. A. Whitney One Out of One Hundred Million White Americans—She's a Wonder, Alright—"Rattling the Dry Bones." San Francisco, Calif.—An emphatic demand that every state in the union be compelled to give legal sanction to marriages between the races was cheered to the echo by the California branch of the National Women's party gathered in the exclusive Fairmont hotel here, recently, to celebrate the birthday anniversary of the distinguished civil librarians and scholars at the University in a bitter denunciation of race prejudice, Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, (white), nationally known lecturer on women's rights, scored the white women of the country for failing to take up the battle against anti-mixed marriage legislation. Amid outbursts of applause from leading members of the California branch the white woman voiced a strong plea for the wiping out of restrictive legislation. Defends Intermarriage. Defends intermarriage. "If a full grown man and woman wish to live together as man and wife," she insisted, "it is only decent to what their color. Our laws forbidding intermarriage of the races reduce the colored girl to the level of a dog and deprive her of that respect that should be accorded every human being. They leave her without the redress of wrong that is given to every white woman. It is simply our own fear complex that makes us avoid this question of interracial marriage. The Constitution recognizes the citizen, and has nothing to do with race or color. It will be years before we have courage to declare for complete suffrage, state by state. And the result of our timidity is the present intermarriage legislation." Scores Race Prejudice. "What Price Freedom" was Miss Whitney's subject. Describing the work of Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, who was an associate of Frederick Douglass, she scored the disfranchisement of the women of the race in the South. "Mrs. Anthony worked for universal suffrage. She paid the price for sponsoring it. We should not rest upon it. It is this very moment one-tenth of the women of our country are not enfranchised."

As the mutters reached his ears he tore off his glasses and hammered on the pulpit, saying that although he had received "mean letters", he nevertheless had the courage of his convictions, had told "plain truths", and that "a Methodist bishop is elected for life." That will "hold them for a while". circles as a powerful women's bloom may be launched to fight intermarriage legislation as the result of the recent demonstration. Cheap politicians who have been dodging the issue will find their bluff called. These women know that the arguments against mixed marriages are bunk. They know that mixed marriages almost never figure in the divorce courts, while the dockets are more likely to be married. They are determined to fight for fair play and to denounce every "chicken-livered" politician who stands in their way. FRANCIS LIBEL CASE REVERSED. Philadelphia, Pa.—The circuit court of appeals recently handed down a decision in the case of Rothschild Francis, editor of the "Emancipator", of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, who was sentenced to jail for alleged criminal libel and contempt of court by George Washington Williams, who was sentenced to the federal court here, to which all appeals from the Islands are carried. The local court has reversed the conviction on the libel charge, but sustained the sentence of 30 days for contempt of court. This decision has been appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court as involving an issue of far-flung jurisdiction, and the case maintains that the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to "Cracker" Williams' appointment as judge. He was tried without jury and sentenced to one month on the charge of libeling a native policeman. The Philadelphia court in reversing Judge Williams' libel charge against the libel law used to regulate the press. The contempt case grew out of an editorial by Francis in his paper charging that he had been "railroaded" in the libel case. TAKES OVER THE MAORIS Pittsburgh, Pa.—The taking over by New Zealand of the Union Islands, upon which are found the Maoris, has given the latter a new heart and hope. The Maoris are a racial segment of the Polynesian stock, a colored race, whose people are cheerful, courageous, cleanly, gentle and dignified, with keen artistic sense and highly poetical imaginations. The Maoris have produced doctors, lawyers, members of the Legislature, and a cabinet minister. Their alliance with New Zealand, however, which has already laid down the pledge to treat them on an equal basis with its own natives, bodes well for the future of the Maori natives.
