ADMITS WEDDING AN ITALIAN COUNT
Josephine Baker, the Stage Artist, Harlem's Dancing Darling, Had Him Looked Up Before the Knot Was Tied—Her remarkable Career Abroad.
Paris, France.—Besieged by scores of newspaper men and photographers who crowded into her dressing room between acts at the Follies Bergere, last week Tuesday night, Josephine Baker, the first Afro-American countess, corroborated the announcement of her marriage to an Italian count in Paris, June 3, at the Italian consulate. "I don't know a word of Italian, but my husband, the count, will teach me, and I'll teach him English. Meantime, we'll struggle to pop up," said Mia La Comtesse Popio D'Abba. She arrived in Paris, two years ago, known; is a most popular stage favorite in Paris today, and will continue all her activities the same as before her marriage. Born in St. Louis, this young woman with the laughing eyes was a chorus girl of no importance, two years ago. Then she went to Europe with a troupe of Afro-Americans, drifted to the Follies Bergere and made herself famous by her wonderful dancing and the amazing way she had of shedding her shoes. She danced there at night, at the early morning at noon, and in the early morning at her supper-club in Montmartre. Scores of European newspapers are hallering her as "Josephine, the Second," mindful of the Creole who married a meek little lieutenant of the French army more than a century ago and later became empress.
"CONGAREE SKETCHES"
The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a book, from the University of North Carolina Press, entitled "Congaree Sketches" by Dr. E. C. Adams (white) of Columbia, S. C. The book is a collection of stories of "Negro" life in the Congaree swamps; stories of pathos, tragedy and humor which are not easily forgotten. The stories are actually preached in "Negro" were actually preached in "Negro" Many of the tales were first told by "Negroes" around the camp fire or in Dr. Adams's lodge in the Congaree, and others, like "Big Charleston" and "Jedge Foolbird" were based on actual occurrences. The effect of reality which they give is no illusion, and it took artistry to preserve it but it was not artificially created. Those of our readers desiring a copy of Congaree Sketches should write the University of North Carolina Press- of Chapel Hill, N.C., enclosing two dollars.
WAS HE FROM "DOWN HOME"?
An Alleged Hindu Prince Breaks Up a White Family and is Sent to the Ohio Penitentiary For Five Years.
A divorce in which the alleged Hindu prince, Wilboro Baryakalamanyon, who claimed that he had had a marriage with a butler and was heir to a throne and a fortune in Hindustan, was named as correspondent, was heard by Common Pleas Judge Baer, Monday. The decree was granted to Joseph Hammerly, Chippewa lake, on a cross petition filed by him against his wife, Katherine Hammerly, 3297 Silsby Rd., Cleveland Heights, who started the suit. The alleged clamour after, between the physician and Mrs. Hammerly, started about two years ago, according to testimony brought out in the trial, while Joseph was out of town most of the time. Wilboro was arrested on a charge of defrauding an inkeeper and sentenced to the penitentiary for from one to five years. This terminated the close friendship. Custody of a four-year-old daughter, Dorothy, was given to Joseph, while Donald, I. remained with his mother. The decree was granted on the basis of fidelity. The Hammerlys were married in Texas in 1901.
The charge upon which Wilboro was arrested and sentenced to penitentiary for five years impresses us as having been manufactured for a purpose obvious and leads us to think that possibly the alleged Hindu prince was only a "sick brother from Delhi," and that the reason for it, Mrs. Hammerly is from Texas, living in Cleveland Heights where kluxers are more or less numerous.

NEW SERVICE VIA ERIE.
The "C. & B. Line" Will Start It, Next Tuesday—The Palatial Steamer, "Goodtime"—More Good News.
The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company announces a new service in addition to their special express service, each night, between Cleveland and Buffalo. Beginning, July 5th, their palatial steamer, the "City of Erie", will leave Cleveland at 4:30 p. m. alternate days, stopping at Erie at 4:30 p. m. at 12 midnight, reaching Buffalo at 6 a. m. Returning, the steamer leaves Buffalo at 5:30 p. m., stopping at Erie at 10:30 p. m., and leaving at 12 o'clock midnight, arriving in Cleveland at 6 a. m., eastern standard time. This gives "C. & B. Line" passengers an opportunity to enjoy daylight rides out of Cleveland and out of Buffalo, adding to the scenic beauty of the lake trip. This new steamer service will add another delightful lake route for the enjoyment of the scenic beauty of the lake. Reach Cleveland tired from train or auto travel, and who wish to spend a night on board a palatial steamer, traveling while they rest. For the convenience of those who travel by train, rail tickets between Cleveland and Buffalo are good on the C. & B. Line steamers. And as for the motorist, he can drive his car on board the steamer and arise in the morning refreshed from a night's rest, and some two hundred miles farther two hundred miles an if he had stopped at a local hotel.
The daily excursions to Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay, via C. & B. Line steamer, "Goodtime", the finest day-out steamer on the great lakes, are proving more popular this season than ever before. Its moonlight rides, every night, also show an increased patronage. Many organizations and clubs have chartered the boat for an evening as this proves a novel way to entertain on summer days. The excellent C. & B. Line orchestra adds to the popularity of the steamer and free dancing is a part of the daily schedule on both its daytime and evening trips.

AND DENOUNCES OPPOSITION TO BILL PROVIDING FOR A MONUMENT TO THEM IN FRANCE.
Our People Failed to Rally to Col. Fish's Support as They Should—Gen. Bullard's Notoriously False Charge of Cowardice—Southern Congressmen and U. S. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania Kill the Bill—Our Interests Vitally Affected.
Indianapolis, Ind.—Speaking, last week Thursday night, to a mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. in annual conference here, Congressman Richard R. McCain vigorous attack upon those who had impugned the courage and loyalty of our soldiers in the World War, including in his denunciation Gen. Bullard. Colonel Fish himself com- mands Army forces troops at the front during the war.
"Fellow Americans", said Mr. Fish opening his address, "I use the words deliberately as there is no group of people in the United States who have been more loyal or patriotic in both peace and war. There are twelve allied forces in the battle exception of the N. A. A. C. P, a few colored editors (the editor of The Gazette being one of them) and Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, I received very little help in my attempts to secure the passage of the bill introduced in Congress by me, appropriating $30,000 to erect a monument on the battlefield of France to four gallant Afro-American combat regiments. The proposed plan was to erect a monument at Sechault, France, in commemoration of the war service of the 369th, 371st and 372nd regiments all of which were attached to the four of which had their flags decorated with the French war cross for gallantry on the field of battle. These four regiments had in killed and wounded approximately forty per cent of their effects. They received more than 400 individual decorations for extraordinary heroism offensively. The gallant conduct of individual Afro-American soldiers in modern warfare.
Bill Refutes Bullard's False Charge.
"My bill passed the U. S. House of Representatives after bitter opposition from southern members and was reported by the U. S. Senate committee, which by the single objection of Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania when the bill was reached on the calendar, thus depriving twelve million of colored citizens who contributed their blood, treasure and efforts to help the war from receiving proper and grateful compensation," the Congress of the United States. A dozen or more monuments have been allocated to white divisions but none to colored troops in the sector in which they fought. Although my bill only calls for an appropriation of $30,000 it is by far the most imminent legislation affecting the colored people ered in the last Congress, as its passage would have been a complete refutation of the false charge made by Gen. Bullard against the Afro-Amer-

colored soldier is just as dear to his mother, his wife and his family as that of any other ever born.
"I do not propose to offer this bill again unless it is at the united demand of the colored people of America whose interests are vitally affected. If the colored mothers and fathers and veterans themselves cannot unite on this bill, they cannot on anything and their political influence will be reduced to a minimum.
"Southern congressmen said they opposed the bill because they were opposed to segregation and Senator Reed re-echoed this false logic. The fact is that the colored soldiers were drafted into the service as "Negroes" regiments where they fought and but when it comes to commemorating their deeds and of those who paid the supreme sacrifice, the cry of segregation is raised. There is only one way to secure the passage of such a bill and that is by making your wishes known to your U. S. government in certain terms individually, and that your political, fraternal and church organizations.
"All we ask is that the unjust discrimination against the courage and war services of the Afro-American soldier be done away with and that a battle monument be erected in the will be for all time an inspiration to loyalty, patriotism and heroism for all the colored people of America."
Nor Were or Are Our Men or Youths' Refused the Use of the Elyria "Y" Swimming Pool, Says President J. F. Burke.
Editor, Cleveland Daily News:— The Elyria Y. M. C. A. did not refuse the privilege of using its pool to Ted Hansbary of Oberlin college, the young Cleveland Afro-American athlete who was drowned in the chilly waters of a creek while practicing recently with the Oberlin swimming team.
Hansbary and the team never appeared here, he never was refused and we have had contests where colored men have participated. Colored youths are swimming here, today. They were here last week and that condition is not unusual.
Neither directly or indirectly was the Elyria Y. M. C. A. responsible for the sad death of your Hansbary. We resent Rev. D. O. Walker's published declaration, which is absolutely unfair toward the Elyria Y. M. C. A.
I ask that The Cleveland News give adequate publicity to this denial. The statement that the white members of the Oberlin swimming team refused to visit the Elyria Y. M. C. A. unless their colored teammate was permitted to swim there without foundation.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927.
Poor Ted Hansbary is dead. He was a good boy, a fine athlete and popular with members of both races. Let his white student comrades at Oberlin College "turn on the light". President Coolidge, continuing his refusal to appoint Afro-Americans to desirable places in the government's service, has appointed a man by the name of Woods of Kansas City as register of the U. S. treasury. Now listen to the explanations of the few remaining "Coolidge Negroes" and hold your noses while doing so.

Whether Wilboro Baryakalaman you is a Hindu prince, as claimed by him, or just "a slick brother from down home", he sure was "going some", and for some time, with a Texas white woman as his "subject". Five years in the Ohio penitentiary is hardly enough for a scoundrel who will enter the sacred precincts of a home in any capacity, be trusted and then befoul it.
Madam La Comtesse Popito Di Abafino sounds pretty good, at least to Josephine Baker, Afro-American and the most popular stage artist at least in France, who recently married an Italian count. But our advice to "Jo" is to put her hand on her pocket-book and keep it there, or she may have the heart-rending financial experience so many American women (white), who have married titled foreigners, have had to their everlasting sorrow.
---
Georgia kluxers have broken out again. They have not been overly active in that state for several years owing doubtless to internal dissensions in the organization, particularly in that state. This time, they gave a white woman eighty-two lashes on her bare back. She is in a hospital convalescing. That is really fine "business" for such "one hundred percent Americans"—taking the law in their own hands" and beating a woman. And the Georgia authorities will "stand for it", too.
Rev. D. O. Walker's communication, published in a local daily paper the first of the week, was an excellent production from a literary and racial viewpoint, but Ex-State Senator John F. Burke, president of the Elyria Y. M. C. A., "pulled all the teeth out of it" with a sweeping denial that Ted Hansbary, deceased, or any other member of the race had been or is refused the use of the Elyria "Y's" swimming pool. There was much truth in Dr. Walker's communication that applies to dozens of other "Y's, if not the Elyria "Y".
J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, and the other highest officials of our Elks, have issued their printed proclamation notifying the members of the order throut the country that this year's annual meeting will be held in Cleveland instead of New York City, as first planned. The editor of The Gazette received a copy of this proclamation, last week. Therefore, the publication in a local daily newspaper, Tuesday, announcing that the meeting would be held in Newark, N. J., Aug. 22 to 27, is undoubtedly a mistake.
WHO IS MAURICE KAHN?
Our last issue carried a well-written article headed, "Stand By Your Race", which was written by Mr. Maurice Kahn.

Our reply invariably was, "he is the man who voluntarily came, as a speaker, to the assistance of our people of ward 11 who, a few years ago, made such a desperate and in part successful effort to rid that section of the city of the political dominance of "Starlight" Boyd, Councilman Tom

General Grant's Tomb on Riverside Drive, New York, Overlooking the Famous Hudson River
COMMANDING a magnificent view and surrounded by beautiful lawns, in New York, is the tomb of General U. S. Grant, who died July 23, 1885, and whose preference as well as that of his family led to his interment in New York. The site of the present monument was set apart by the city both because of its natural beauty and because here a memorial building would be visible from many distant points in the city, harbor and river. Five years passed between the laying of the cornerstone by President Harrison and dedication of the building. The total cost of approximately 800,000 was contributed by about 90,000 donors.
The body of General Grant rests in a sarcophagus hawn from a single flawless block of red porphyry, closed by a massive lid of the same lustrous material. A duplicate beside it contains the body of Mrs. Grant.

Fleming, "Boss" Maurice Maschke and Mayor Fitzgerald, and which section had the misfortune of having their candidate for the city council, the elected, counted out. Mr. Kahn rendered splendid service during that campaign and on several occasions since, at the special request of local members of the race. He is a deep thinker and splendid speaker, his style being argumentative rather than oratorical; very pleasing, indeed. While of the Jewish faith, Mr Kahn is not a member of any synagogue or temple. He is broad-minded, affable and very companionable. His article, last week, was not the first The Gazette has published, written by him, but is one of the best. For years, Mr. Kahn has been in the employ of The May and Bailey companies, being connected with the former at this time. The editor of this paper regards him as not only a friend of the race but also as a personal friend.
MUST LEARN TO PUNISH.
Col. Hamilton Fish, Jr., in his speech at Indianapolis, last week, a goodly portion of which appears elsewhere in this paper, said: "There is only one way to secure the passage of such a bill (to erect a monument on the battlefield of France to the four gallant Afro-American combat regiments that fought so bravely on French soil in the World War) and that is by making them known to your U. S. senators and congressmen in no uncertain terms, individually, and thru your political, fraternal and church organizations".
The colonel had previously spoken of the defeat of his bill by the last congress to accomplish this very thing. What he said was all very good as far as he went but he did not go far enough. In his speech, he should have also told our people of Pennsylvania and the entire country to oppose the re-election to the U. S. Senate of Mr. Reed of Pennsylvania, and any other U. S. senators who opposed the bill, if they ever stand as candidates for any office again. Our people must learn the lesson of striking back not only in defense of their rights, privileges and other interests but also for the purpose of punishing, as far as they are able to do so, all men in public office who oppose measures of vital and prime interest to the race, like Col. Hamilton Fish, Jr.'s monument bill. We are pleased to say that the writer was one of the "few colored editors" who did all in his power to help secure the passage of the bill, in the last Congress.

For the second successive year Cleveland will act as host for 35,000 to 40,000 members of our grand lodge of Elks who will again have their annual convention here, Aug. 21 to 28. The selection was announced, Friday, by J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D.

On June 13, at Gethsemane Baptist church, our local Baptist ministers' conference endorsed the candidacy of Wm. R. Green for "muny" judge; Clayton George for councilman in the 4th district and Dr. E. J. Carr for the district. That was taken, Green left and Dr. C. C. Ailier informed the conference that their endorsement of his candidacy would not amount to anything and that they were wasting time as far as Green was concerned because he could not be elected; that they were candidates for re-election and who would be re-elected regardless of the candidacy of Green or others. When asked why he did not make this statement while Mr. Green was present, Dr. Ailier's reply was: "The candidates who were in追击 go ahead and do what it wanted in the matter because the members thought they knew so much."

We wish to express our sincere thanks to our many friends, the members and daughters of the Knights of Tabor, the Mosaic Templars, the Independent order of St. Luke, the Daughters of Moose (lodge) and the Cloak Circle in for their kindness and sympathy in the bereavement of our beloved wife and mother, Susie Booth, John Booth,

HOW SEGREGATION IS USED
How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?
Washington, D. C., (Special),
—There is more segregation in
Washington today under President
Coolidge than there has ever been
since the Civil War. The beginnings
of segregation were under President
Tart. It was greatly extended, under
President Wilson; increased,
still further, under President Harding;
and reached its maximum under
President Wilson. For instance,
most 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 common law in this city in the district restricting white women in white people, and black 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 in a Democratic situation, and a Democratic one is represented 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 our Republican Presidency. Only last week, a colorless woman appeared after examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he former favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the segregationist and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, it 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 postwar segregation is rampant. The father of 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 length of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the clerks and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injurious actions all the more when they reflect that they are far capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment.
The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comfor table 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 room, segregation, and the institution is even attempted to toilet the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees.
Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to the reception to the head of departments, including the plummaster general, in the office building. It announced online and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post-office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general 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 wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of tasks. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends many and intelligent appeals to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a larger number in this way, where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation.
In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation also passes 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 soakability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of the employees so keen that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes who believe in the gospel and then dismused on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to disperse the pistol. A charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them.
Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of questions simply to be met by a detail 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 department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation by the government 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 theirprivilege, and a wife who became Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem
ber or his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate house appear 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!
abolition of the division altogetner; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. 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.
Washington 14. C — We wish to call
Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to now avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. 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 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 braham 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 service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED and working stations, 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 and 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 the inferior of our girls, and result in 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 genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton, who was 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 Constitution, 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. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet New York's clerks 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 far nother.
The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers 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 move to other rooms to stire 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 of 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 diverse creature in their pride. 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 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. They single stroke of his pen, President in Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan.
Washington, b. 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, best 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 indemnities here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign.

On June 13, at Gethsemane Baptist church, our local Baptist ministers' conference endorsed the candidacy of Wm. R. Green for "muny" judge; Clayton George for counselman in the 4th district and Dr. E. J. Gregg in the 3rd. After this action was taken, Green left and Dr. C. C. Aller informed the conference that their endorsement of his candidacy would not amount to anything and that they were wasting time as far as Green was concerned because he could not be elected; that there were six judges, good ones, too, who were candidates for the position, and he regarded regardless of the candidacy of Green or others. When asked why he did not make this statement while Mr. Green was present, Dr. Aller's reply was: "I thought I would let the conference go ahead and do what it wanted in the matter because the members thought they knew so much."

INGLE - DANGLE, dingle - dangle goes the earring ornament at the edge of milady's hat as if to proclaim a entree into the realm of millinery.
MILADY'S boudor is the scene on a picturesque warfare, where the negligee of ultra-feminine type is arraying its beguiling charms against the gorgeous and modernistic coat and trouser mode. So far the score is a tie, wherefore stylists declare that due recognition shall be given to each.
Speaking from the viewpoint of the ultra-feminine negligee, one is tempted to indulge in ruptuous terns of "perfectly lovely," "adorable" and "just darling," in describing them. To come down to "what's what" in teagworms and boudor apparel, of the dainter type, it is largely a matter of lace and chiffon, styled in an alluringly feminine way. Which means that beffrilled and befurbelowed robes are lending their enchantment to the boudor scene.
Negligees of the esthetic nature reflect the influence of the lace vogue, which at present everywhere dominates the fashion situation as it has not succeeded in doing for years.
PARIS MILLINERS U

DINGLE-DANGLE, dingle-dangle goes the earring ornament at the side of milady's hat as if to proclaim its entree into the realm of millinery. Sometimes an idea is launched which takes the world of fashion by storm. This is exactly what has happened in regard to the new earring trim. With the dangling of the first earring ornament from the side of a snug-fitting little chapeau, the idea has gained momentum until the vogue is at this moment one of surpassing importance. Especially is the new earring trim performing a bit of magic in the way of contributing becomingness to the hitherto not-always flattering-to-the-face sung helmet-shaped or molded-to-the-head skull caps. Promise of becomingness no doubt accounts for the fact of hat after hat being animated with cunning ornaments which sometimes require more than a passing glance to discern whether they are really peart-set earrings revealed from beneath the "bob," or decoration for the hat.
Even brimmed hats sometimes subscribe to earring embellishments, as will be seen in this picture, where,

Sheer fabrics, too, abound in unstinted quantity.
The exquisite negligee in the picture is just such as should be included in the rousseau of the summer bride. It would be entrancing in pure white or in any of the "sweetly feminine" pastel colorings.
For the more formal types, yards and yards of filiny lace or chiffon transparencies resolve themselves into flowing draperies, with sleeves losing their identity in voluminous panel and angel-wing effects. Many of the newer negligees use chiffon and cob-web-like all-over lace, half-in-half, sometimes the floating panels being entirely of lace, with wide borderings of the lace at the hemline of the robe.
For daytime wear during the warm-weather months, dainty little negligees which really look summer-time frocks are made of flower-printed volles.

ENTS AND BUCKLES
posed to the right below, is a handsome multi-colored hat with the fashionable earring trim, suspended from each end of a "slave-bracelet" band. While this model is enhanced with a pair of earrings, it is just as good style, particularly for the snug-tyled hat, to pose a dangling ornament at one side only.
Just-from-Paris hats emphasize a wide use of buckles, especially for little felts and ribbon hats. The smart felt shown at the top to the right in the picture illustrates a smart buckle placement.
Not only buckles and earrings are in favor, but there is a decided trend toward employing ornaments of all sorts. Among popular ideas dagger pins and twin pearl pins stand at the top of the list. A clever use of two sets of twin pins is shown in this group of hats, also the effectiveness of the dagger pin as a trimming for the small hat.

NIAGARA FALLS'
ADDED CHARM
Wonderful Opportunities Offered All on Summer Vacations by the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company—Automobilists Cared For.
The nightly illumination of the cataracts and rapids of Niagara Falls and the colors of the rainbow has added so much to the charm of this natural wonder that tourists in ever increasing numbers have visited the falls since the elaborate illumination program was put into effect last year, and there is every indication that more visitors will be entertained there this summer than in any previous season, prophesled J. T. McMillan, vice-president and general manager of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation operating passenger steamboat lines between Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago.
"Judging from advance bookings already received for the boats operating on our Detroit, Niagara Falls and Chicago route thousands of automobile tourists will make Niagara Falls the principal object of their vacation outing this summer, said Mr. McMillan. Automobile tours flies at the airport, and it quite a pleasureable interlude in their road journeys to drive their automobiles on one of our big boats and enjoy the fresh air, the capital meals and restful nights, not to mention the dancing, music, deck games and other enjoyable features incident to a trip on the Great Lakes from Chicago to Detroit and on to Buffalo to place their automobiles on our boats at Buffalo and arriving in Detroit the next morning resume their road journey refreshed by the pleasant trip across historic Lake Erie.
"The boat trip from Chicago to Detroit requiring somewhat less than two days and nights, includes a three-hour stopover at Mackinac Island, the queen of the Michigan summer resorts, noted in this automotive age as the one spot on North America where bison are not allowed to disturb the pristine solitude of the island and disturb the dignity of the pedestrian. The horse and buggy is the only means of transport, and it is like a page out of the past to see the gay rigs come down to the dock or jog along the streets. From Mackinac Island it is an over-night run to Detroit and passengers bound for Niagara Falls and the East may have a day of sightseeing in Detroit and then board the boat for Buffalo at 5:30 p.m. and down the island-crowded Detroit river, a night ride across Lake Erie, and arrive in Buffalo at 8:30 the following morning.
