FRANCIS GETS ANOTHER FINE AND SENTENCE Virgin Islands Editior Again Arouses Ire of Judge George Washington Williams and Is Punished ANOTHER APPEAL TO STATES IS PLANNED New York City.—Rothchild Francis, Virgin Island editor and legislator, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and $200 fine for printing without comment a report of the American Civil Liberties Union on an appeal in Philadelphia of his first conviction for contempt and libel. This verdict was handed down by the "cracker", George Washington Williams, district judge of the Islands, whose appointment Francis had opposed and who was scored by the Philadelphia court of appeals for using libel laws to regulate the press. Francis, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, has again taken appeal. The libel case grew out of a criticism in Francis' paper, "The Emancipator". of an unnamed native policeman. It was followed by a contempt case when Francis in an editorial charged he had been "railroaded" by Judge Williams. The second contempt verdict is being basically opposed in the sentence in the Civil Liberties Union report; "Friends of Francis maintain that the real reason for this sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge." THIS IS RICH! Cole Blease's Blating Given Proper Rating—Southern Afro-Americans Not Frightened Into Silence By it. Washington, D. C.—"Senator Cole Blease, of South Carolina," says the editor of the "Watchman-Lantern," of Muskogee, Okla. "is an excellent example of that foolish class of men whose knowledge of adverse legislation, the Negro who now knows full well how sweet and glorious it is to die for an eternal principle such as freedom and liberty, can be frightened into silence and inaction or be forced to 'sit down by the walls of Jerusalem and weep.' No such stuff," declares the editor, who reminds us that, the Negro is the man of all men who has heard much in some forty-five centuries or more. The great pyramids of Egypt, the many resplendent ruins of buried cities of Africa, and the magnificent tombs of all their buried kinds, are all but mute reminders of a great people and a great and glorious antiquity. The Negroes of America will one day show themselves the proud descendants of an ancient people who, with nothing from which to copy, invented the only civilization the world ever knew." ATHEISTS TO INVITE DARROW Plan Heretics' Banquet in Washington—Opposed To Appointment of Chaplains. (Plain Dealer-N. Y. Times Wire). Washington, April 4.—Institution of injunction proceedings in the District of Columbia supreme court by James I. Elliott of Jamaica, L. I., in an atheistic move to end federal expenditures for chaplains in the army, navy and congress, was followed today by the announcement that plans for a "heretic banquet" would be held in the branch of the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism. Their idea is to bring together in Washington a number of well known atheists as after dinner speakers, including Clarence Darrow, who will be invited as principal orator. Darrow spoke in Mt. Cotton Center, Omaha, last Sunday week, at 5c, 75c and $1 a person. The church "was full of ministers", it is said. Delegates To Go Abroad. Atlanta, Ga.—Six Afro-Americans have been elected to represent those of the race in the south at the world's Y. M. C. A. conference at Helsingfors, Finland, in August. James of the representatives are: Dr. Derek Mott, principal keegee institute; James Bond, director of the Kentucky State Inter-Racial committee, Louisville; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta; Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans; R. W. Riley, president of Florida Memorial school; and C. C. Spaulding, Jr., of Durham, N. C. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Executive Council of American Federation of Labor Hear Hill's Accusations of Principles Appointment of a Race Executive PRIME SPORT NEWS Washington, D. C.—The executive council of the American Federation of Labor at its regular meeting, Mar. 31, was urged by T. Arnold Hill, director of industrial relations of the National Urban Labor Association to remove restrictions in organized labor." Rienzi B. Lemus, president of the brotherhood of dining car employees, appeared with Mr. Hill and gave vigorous support to the proposition. Contending that our plumbers, machinists, boilermakers and other craftsmen are the workers barred from unionism," Mr. Hill denounced as "un-American, un-democratic and un-economic, the policy "Tiger" vs. Gans. Wilkesbarre, Pa. — Theodore "Tiger" Flowers, the Atlanta deacon and middleweight champion of the TIGER "FLOWERS world, was signed, Monday, by the Armory Athletic club for a ten- round decision fight here with Joey Gans, April 16. This is the new champion's first battle since he won the title from Harry Greb at Madi- son Square Garden, N. Y. City. Still Baiting Harry Wills. Still Batting Harry Wills. New York City.—The fact that Jey McMahon, Tex Rickard's Madison senator, has signed Jack Renault, a heavyweight champion, for a 15-round match with anyone he can to fight him, has been seized upon by daily-paper sport-writers of this city as bait for Harry Wills. They know Renault is no match for Wills but that makes no difference. With them it is—if only something, anything would happen to remove Harry as a Dempsep challenger. They shiver when they visualize the two in the ring together because they must find a way to win Jack. Now they are fairly begging and crying for a Wills-Renault contest in June just as they howled for a Wills-Tunney fight, knowing full well, too, that Tunney would have been but a toy in Wills' hands. Nevertheless, they hoped it would be otherwise. Always hoping that something, somebody, any body would remove Harry from Jack's pathway, and for the reason stated above, Up to date, none of them would be able to put anything wise old Paddy Mullens, Will's manager and sterling friend, who remains discreetly silent now as he did during the aforementioned sport-writers' Wills-Tunney verbal squall. The Tuskegee Bowl. The Tuskegee Ala. N. & I. school athletic bowl, which will cost when completed approximately $50,000, is located just across the parade ground within easy reach of the entire student body, Greenwood community, the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, and the town of Tuskegee. The bowl as it stands today is the transformation of a natural ravine, filled with small scrub pines and oaks—an out-of-the-way place of no prac- tion. The Tuskegee is one of the finest of playgrounds for Tuskegee's young folk for all time. Here are located the football grid- iron, the baseball diamond, and the IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS ALS! LEADS TO OPEN NS TO ALL American Federation of Labor ions of Principles— a Race Executive urged of denying full rights to all wageearners because of race or color." The appointment of an Afro-American executive as representative of the A. F. of L. to negotiate with the national and local bodies that refuse membership to our men were urged and the council promised to consider the suggestion. The council gave more than an hour to the discussion and asserted their eagerness to bring about harmonious relationship between all workers. Among those attending the meeting were: President William Green, Secretary Peter Neonon, Secretary Matthew Woll and Jas Duncan, and James Noonan, international president of electrical workers. track. On the rise, just above the rim of the bowl, arrangements are being made for the construction of ample tennis courts for the encouragement of this phase of athletics. **Deacon "Tiger" in Church.** Atlanta, Ga. — A champion of the prize ring celebrating his victorious home court with a religious address on the program with a bishop was the unique spectacle presented here on a recent Sunday by "Tiger" Flowers, middleweight champion of the world since his recent victory over Harry Greb. Flowers represents a new type of prize fighter, in a Methodist church here, regular and faithful in his religious duties, and very circumspect in his life. When taken to task for prize fighting by the congregation some time ago, he turned to the 144th Psalm and read as his defence, "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, who provided me with the fingers to fight." The brethren had no come-back and Flowers' standing in the church has not been questioned since. Cleveland Elite Baseball Team. St. Louis, Mo.-Mam Shepard, owner of the Cleveland, Ohio, Elite baseball club, returned from Texas and Arkansas. March 27, with the following players: Beard, infield, and Spearman, catcher. Two other players will report to See L. S. N. Cobb, later. While in Memphis, Owner Shepard signed Square Moore and Speedball Spearman formerly by the Memphis Mets. Two other players already gone to Cleveland, Charlie Watts, Humphries and Harris of St. Louis will join the Elites. These players were signed by Manager Taylor before he left for Cleveland. Players already with him are: Jerry Ross, Duncans, Tyler, Myles, Summer, Bonner and Alexander. Taylor writes that everything looks prosperous for the coming season. Owner Shepard is in Cleveland, to get things lined up for the coming season. He took the above-named players with him. Frank Duncans, outfielder, formerly of the Cleveland Cubs, will assist Taylor in rounding the young players into condition. Pitcher Redwine reported here before leaving for Cleveland. He is said to be a better pitcher than Dave Brown, who was brought from Texas by President Rube Foster several years ago. Receives $15,000 Award. Chicago, Ill.—An award of $15,100 was made to Mrs. Oscar Daniels of 4492 Oakland Man Company for the heroism and death of her husband, who was killed in a train wreck in New Jersey, last June, while attempting to save the lives of passengers. The settlement was made outside of the wold being advised by Atty. C.

SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1926. We wish to inform the reader of The Gazette, that sent us an anonymous communication, this week, signed "F. V. M." and "N. B.", that we would have been pleased to answer the questions asked if the writer's name and address had accompanied the letter. The British and Boer element in the South African Union, outnumbered by natives almost five to one, is foolish enough to try to enact segregation and other color-line legislation, some if not all of which will go thru and hasten the day, which is bound to come, when Africa will be for Africans (black natives). When that time comes, as it surely will come, "the chickens will come home to roost" and what a time the English and Dutch in South Africa will have! They have enough to answer for, as it is, without adding more fool segregation and color-line legislation to it. The Cleveland branch of the N. A. A. C. P. invited Clarence Darrow to speak in Mt. Zion Cong. church or temple, this city, last Sunday week, and charged those who went to hear him fifty cents, seventy-five cents and a dollar, each. Now the atheists of the country are to invite Darrow to be the principal speaker at a banquet to be given soon at the nation's capital, Washington. D. C. We presume they, too, will have an admission charge for all who attend the banquet which will hardly be held on the Sabbath day, however. In his Mt. Zion church talk, Darrow characterized ministers' talk in the pulpit as "JARGON". THAT "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL MOVE. Some of our ministers and church officers, of this city, have been misled into permitting the use of their churches for quasi-public meetings of advocates of a local "jim-crow" hospital. These advocates are nearly all physicians who would saddle our people of this community with this iniquitous thing in order to gain a little personal-professional benefit. That the 40,000 Afro-Americans of Cleveland would be limited to this "jim-crow" affair, if established, and other-wise harmed almost beyond measure, seems to mean nothing to these aforementioned "jim-crow" hospital advocates. However, all of our physicians of this community are not with these advocates, by good deal. If the physician-advocates must have a hospital, let them finance one of their own. The Afro-Americans of this city need all the hospital service they are enjoying, and more, but none that is furnished by a "jim-crow" hospital. EXIT CONGRESSMAN DYER. According to information, sent out from St. Louis, about 85 per cent of the Republican voters of Congressman L. C. Dyer's Missouri district is. Afro-American. Geo. L. Vaughn, one of our leading attorneys of that city, is the candidate opposing Dyer's re-nomination, this year. We are told that Atty. Vaughn "has every assurance of winning unless his opponents carry out their threat of splitting the colored vote by putting another colored Republican on the ticket with Vaughn", something our people of Dyer's district ought to make impossible. The same source of information gives out the following: "Known throughout the country as the author of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, Congressmen Dyer has many bitter opponents in his home district. They say he is not well trained and 15 years ago was a porter in one of the downtown stores. "They also say he is not stance in his advocacy of the Dyer anti-lynching bill and will be the most surprised man in the world if it ever becomes a law." All of which is doubtless true and yet irrelevant because that "85 per cent colored Republican vote" in the Dyer district fully explains why THE GEEVUM GIRLS Congressman Dyer should not be renominated and Atty. Vaughn should be nominated, this year. WHAT'S THIS MEAN? National Committeeman John Philip Hill, and other prominent Republicans (white) of Maryland, are urging the appointment of Warner T. McGuinn, a Baltimore attorney and member of the race, for appointment as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. What is the matter with the present incumbent of that office—the gentleman from our native state, West Virginia? Recorder Froce seems to be filling the position satisfactorily to all concerned. At least, we have failed to read or hear of any criticism of or complaint anent his conduct of the office. It seems to us that Atty McGuinn could show better judgment and evidence a little race loyalty by directing his efforts toward the office of register of the treasury, a position held by a colorline Ohioan (Harvey V. Speelman) we would like to see displaced by a member of the race. It seems strange to us, too, and we cannot quite understand this McGuinn candidacy for the recordership. Can it be that those Maryland Republicans (white) are starting a contest between two or more members of the race for the place with a view to furnishing President Coolidge an apparently good excuse for the appointment of a white man as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia? It certainly looks like it. Woman Adopts Colored Boy. Woman Adopts Colored Boy. Detroit, Mich—Mrs. Elizabeth Seidel, (white), a Christian Science practitioner, has adopted 14-year old Roy Murphy, an orphan. Mrs. Seidel, rich, was once poor, and attributed her success in life to her failure to draw either color or class lines. Young Murphy has been placed in school. Rhinoters Rutter than Ostrich New York. — There are several things you cannot do to an ostrich. One of these is to say to him, "Here chick—chick—chick!" You cannot say that to "General Von Kluek," the large, clam chowder-colored ostrich who is com- mander of the detachment of twelve California filly-loo birds enroute from Glendale, in the tropic orange land, to Hamilton, Berumda, aboard the steam- ship Bermudian. Michael Tierney and three other longshoreman on the Berumidan's deck learned his first lesson in natural history, and to their sorrow. "General Von Kluck" and his personally conducted party of large and limpid eyed hens were being transferred on a Lackawanna tug from Hoboken to pier 2N, North River, where the Bermudian lay. As the tug snugged along side the wharf "General Von Kluck" saw a coll of fire hose there and remembered he had not dined. Escaping from his crate he volcanized gracefully to the deck. Then it was Michael Tierney stopped his truck, took a long look at the long bird and remarked he guessed maybe his River complaint was worse than royal. So he called, "Here chick, chick, chick." "This many a day since Michael Tierney has been put out with one punch, but on this occasion he was. Yen, very straight. In the face it was—and straight from the knee. Same thing for two other longshoremen who tried to catch the bird. Finally they had to bet a baggage hoist—one of those rope nets they bundle trunks in—to throw over the oystick's head. And so they low-ered his squawking into the hold. "Give me a plain rhinoceros to handle next," feebly moaned Michael Tierney. CALLS BREAD AND BUTTER MOST NOURISHING DIET Any Man Can Live on 10 Cents a Day. Says Harvard Professor in Talk Boston, Mass.—"Although a great many people have expressed surprise that war sufferers are living on 10 cents a day," said Dr. Franklin W. White, at the Harvard Medical School, "as a matter of fact any man can live on that amount by using mainly a bread-and-butter diet." Dr. White took a slice of bread and butter as a unit of food and declared it equal in nutritive value to five-eighths of a glass of milk, one egg and a half, a large potato, a sauter and a half of cereal, two slices of lean beef, a plate of baked beans, 12 oysters, 20 cups of beaked tea made from extract, or 11 cups of homemade beef tea, costing 9 cents. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 10. 1926 MOVIES TO AID SAFETY IN MINES Leahawanna Company Will Use the Films to Teach Need of Care. PRIZES HAVE BEEN OFFERED Pictures to be Exhibited in Workers' Homes in the Anthropate Region of Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh, Pa.—For the first time in the history of amateur coal mining in Pennsylvania) moving pictures have been made an auxiliary in "safety first" and first all movements. A series of motion pictures illustrating these subjects in a comprehensive manner have been prepared by the United States Bureau of Mines, while the coal-mining departments of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad now is preparing a series of motion picture plays depicting possible accidents in coal mines and how to avoid them. The film views will be sent to every mining district in the country. In the anthracite fields in Pennsylvania the Lackawanna Company has arranged so that the pictures may be shown in the homes of miners by stretching a wire to the house in which they are to be shown. Were it is impossible to stretch wires storage batteries may be used for home entertainments. Prizes will be offered for the most vivid and instructive plays and these will be turned over to the "keg fund" of the locality which wins them. At many of the Lackawanna collieries the empty powder kegs which are returned in good condition are stored by the company, which credits 8 cents to the fund or each keg, the exact amount received from the powder company for their return. These funds are devoted to paying illness and death benefits and funeral expenses for the mine workers. They average from $1,700 to $2,000 a year. The pictures begin with the thorough inspection of the mine in the morning by the fire boss, from inspecting the ventilating fan which supplies fresh air to the miners to inspecting the chambers in the mines where the men are to work and seeing that everything is safe. Next safety lamps are distributed to the miners, who go down in the cage and report to the fire boss, who examines their lamps. Then they go to their chambers, and the miner examines the mine face before beginning work, and his helper assists him in putting up a temporary prop. They drill a hole, the miner prepares his cartridge back at the tool box, charges the hole, lights the squib and they withdraw to the parting to await the blast. The charge explodes and the miner returns to the face to examine the chamber after the blast. He and his helper replace the prop, which has been blown down. The methods of loading coal in the mines, both by hand and through clutes in pitching veins are shown, and the blowing down of coal in pitching veins. The merit of these pictures is that in them all mine rules are observed and everything is done in the proper way. All safety precautions are taken regarding lights, handling the explosives, examining the chambers, setting props and pulling down the loose coal. The pictures show the methods of transportation below ground, the motors, mules and stables, the hoisting of coal out of the mines and finally the hoisting of the men. The great pumps which hoist approximately $13\%$ tons of water for every ton of coal out of the mines are shown at work. A separate film illustrates an accident from a gas explosion to a miner's laborer who disobeyed the rules. This was highly commended by the representatives of the operators, who said it was just the thing they needed to show it, the safety first movement up, which they are all laying so much stress. These films will be furnished to the operators by the Bureau of Mines at cost, and will be used to show to the miners' institutes and schools and probably later to the general public as an illustration of the great expenses and difficulties incident to antracite mining. The films will be exhibited by the United States Bureau of Mines at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Selt 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 and many ever 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 census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, 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 a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its 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 their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only an week, a colored girl appeared having passed best examination, and having been telegraphed 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 President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other factions and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful storied clerks work under 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 cooled clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, the comfort of the latter, and putting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they suspect that they are far more capable than the whites, and hence 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 collecide for whites and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for戏, 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 toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. and 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 ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the postmaster could 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 colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intimate protests to the postmaster, and appeals to 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 print office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest 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 off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large category in this huge structure of all of the employees may be, but there are a few who are out-of-the-way reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, pretering 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 castle positions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites 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 fail, 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 alight in revenge for exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and to secure any evidence searched in only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arrows charge and substituted the carrying concealed weapons on which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for, for my informant, for me, the fate these informants could suffer so I have never given a single name!! The decision then taking the position that it 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, APRIL 10, 1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, obeying to their thought short for segregation she came an order for segregation of the 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 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 disu raged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. A. to urge them to continue the fight for freedom when at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard 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 alt 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 braun Lincoln, Charlee Sumner and Frederick Doug g as helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGMENTED the theater, the art museum and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take their information to the theater, the art museum or 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, is now under the ablest financial gentus 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 has been the result of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarse there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toiletes, locker 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 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, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation in elimination, and being 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 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, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. 'HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.

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. An act of mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" 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 with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be arrested and not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 1282. 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 injury, 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 lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. 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 as one purposely injured or killed by 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 lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) 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 seriously injured by a mob from any of 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. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288.

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: BBS. used. g. representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another costs in tax levy. us. 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 was contributory negligence not less than thirty days before lynching to protect such prisoner or disperse 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 court had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; The General Coge of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place or 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 not more than five hundred dollars, or not more than ninety days, or both, whether he ever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars, more than five hundred dollars to the 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. Misdled 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 that Ohio Civil rights law was good law and did not amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory. --- Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, Ohio State, Rport of 3, last. Holding 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 ($600) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. The LAW of the Court of Appeals PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H. S., 9 E. Ohio St., Chicago To the Architect of the U.S. Capitol: I assure you that the colored people of the country are unalterably opposed to the placement of another statue in statutory hall at the Capitol's honor of men who gave supreme effort to destroy this nation. Already the brilliant Robert E. Lee, who received his military training in the Union military academy at West Point and rewarded the splendid gift with treason, is honored by the presence of his marble likeness there among those the patriots and other benefactors of the United States, the colored contributors omitted, of course. Now you are to install the statue of Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confederacy who also wars the stain of trying to help found the only government in the history of the world whose sole purpose was to be the perpetuation of slavery. Mr. Stephens' whole life was given to principals at war with every sentiment of democracy for which we claim we stand. He opposed efforts of the abolitionists and other anti-slavery men who fought that iniquitous institution in order that the nation might live. He gave all of his genius to that split among dered Lovejoy, as well as Sumner, abolitionism through the streets of Boston placed a price upon the head of Frederick Douglass, and brought infinite sorrow and suffering to millions of noble men and women in black. While in Congress he championed every demand of the slave power. In 1850 he supported Clay and Webster's compromise which turned over the far West to slavery and gave us the most infamous man in all the usurpations. In 1851 he as all usurpations. In 1852 he was the most aggressive leader in the House of Representatives in forcing the Kansas-Nebraska bill, thus extending slavery to the vast Louisiana territory from which it had been excluded. After the bloody Civil War, for which he was partly responsible, when he and others had been forgiven for their treason, the ungrateful South sent him to Congress again where he hurried to secure more land for reconstruction statemanship. But on his re-appearance in the Congress against which he had waged cruel war to hold black men in bondage, he was to meet black men in the intellectual arena where they blasted all his foolish and wicked notions of racial inferiority. On Jan. 6, 1874, that gifted and devoted Negro statesman, Robert Brown Ellegro, to South Carolina, built an eloquent opposition to Charles Sumner's civil rights bill, a wise and humble piece of legislation calculated to square our practice with our preachments. Some of his apologists seek to some of his memory to secession to his opposition to the secession of his state in the Georgia convention in January, 1861. But listen to his reasons: "When we of the South," he said in addressing the secession movement, "demanded the slave trade, or the mine of gold, for the cultivation of our lands, did the North not yield the right for twenty years? When we asked a three-fifths representation in Congress for our slaves, was it not granted? When we asked and demanded the return of any fugitive slave, was it not incorporated in the Constitution and again strengthened in fifty years? When we asked for the cultivation of our lands, law of 1850? When we have asked that more territory be added that we might spread the institution of slavery, have they not yielded to our demands in giving us Florida, Louisiana and Texas, out of which states have been carved and ample territory for four more states to be added in due time. If you do not by any means secession (secession) destroy this hope, and perhaps, by it lose all, and have your slave wrenched from you by stern military rule, as South America and Mexico were; or by the vindictive decree of a universal emancipation which may reasonably be expected to follow?" Then followed his plea that the South had gotten more than its deserts from the Union, "sixty-four years of southern Presidents to their own hands," and that the justices of the U. S. Supreme Court to the North's eleven, altho four-fifths of the judicial business had arisen in the North; and the bulk of the federal patronage. He opposed the South and not for the Nation! Our Hall of Fame should only include those who have served their fellow men for their example is the only one that can inspire others to noble action. The urge for the admission for these two statues springs from the unrepentent spirit that wants the Nation to right the ship that the warrior in seeking to wreck the Unlion. It knows that the cold marble can proclaim its cause, especially when it is placed in the very center and heart of the government. The many illustrious Negroes who have rendered distinguished service in every noble endeavor in our country's history have no place there, and we feel that in glorifying our worst enemies the nation discourages patriotism and self-forgetful service.
