P.'s annual meeting, next year, will be held in Los Angeles, Calif. Police Detective Sergeant Harry Buford of Omaha was promoted to Heutenan, last week Tuesday. New York Elks were denied an injunction to compel the national Elks' officers to hold this year's annual meet in New York City instead of Cleveland. N. A. A. C. P. Sec. Wm. Pickens declares that "segregation and the race problem are one and the same thing and that where segregation did not exist there was no race problem." Blind Boone, pianist, who has retired to his home in Columbus, Mo., is said to have realized over $300,000 from his famous piano solo, "Tornado," on the order of Blind Tom's "Storm" which preceded it. Now, it is said Josephine Baker, celebrated Afro-American singer and dancer in Paris, France, denies that she is wedded to an Italian count or any other man. Signor Albertini is only her pressman. Signor Albertini is there now. A sweeping victory in the Toms River, N. J., school segregation case was won, several months ago, when A RICH CUBAN "Poisoned" by Contact With Fool-Prejudiced Americans in His Own Country "Gets His". Paris, France — Senator Rogette Valdes della Torre, a young Cuban, rich, elegant, sportive, and rather dark, does not love our folk apparently. Entering the Rat Mort, a luxurious cabaret, what was the first sight that met his eyes? The orchestra, composed of Negroes, with black dancers and singers. Then as if that were not enough he saw two more, dark as ebony in tuxedos supplying joyously among the other white people quite indifferent to their dark Nordic blood of Senor Valdes boiled at the scene. Striding up to the surprised blacks he descended on them with his fists, and soon the place was in an uproar. A policeman attempted to interfere and the irate Senor Valdes struck him, too. The following day Senor Valdes appeared a prisoner in the Palais du Justice by a strong irony before the president of the Thirteenth Correctional Chamber, a native (black) in Jesse II Island, the Tronche-Maquaire. Gone was all the bellicocity of the senor. Indeed he showed himself so repentant that one would have imagined he had read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" since his arrest. M. Tronche-Maquaire sentenced him to two months' imprisonment. COOLIDGE AGAIN ASKED. Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights league sent President Coolidge the following telegram on his birthday, July 4: "On this joint birthday The N. E. R. league asks for redemption your second White House pledge to eliminate the segregation of Afro-American federal employees which fosters the prejudice exhibited in disfranchisement, segregation, peonage, and lynchings, which you have spoken against and which violate the great rights of all." Gen. Frazier Miller, pres., "William M. T. Troter, sec." One Killed. Other Wounded. Little Rock, Ark.—Johnnie Johnson was killed and Robert Allen was wounded and arrested following a clash between officers, bystanders, and white mobbists, last week Tuesday night. The trouble started when Johnson and Allen appeared with two white women on East Second St. near the Rock Island viaduct. White men suspected that the women were meeting the men and arranged the mob attack. Will Try For "West Point" Will Try For West Point. Chicago, Ill. — Congressman B. Madden of this city announced the appointment of Denton J. Brooks, Jr., for examination to enter the I. S. Dental Academy at West Point. Denton is a high school graduate. His father, Denton J. Brooks, Sr., was a captain in the Spanish-American War and was personal Adjutant and War Risk officer of the 92nd Division of the A. E. F. during the World War. King Knights African Chief British West Africa.—For the second time in the history of the British Empire a full blooded African was honored with the knighthood of the order of the British Empire, when his Majesty, King George, of England, was mounted chief of Akim Abuokaa. Sir Oforl is regarded as one of the most enlightened and progressive chiefs of the Gold Coast colony. Indicted For Flogging Woman. Indicted For Flogging Woman. Taccoa, Ga.—Five men were indicted by the Stephens county grand jury. July 4, on charges of assault with intent to murder, riot and carrying pistols in connection with the K. K. K. flogging here, June 12, of Mrs. Ansley Brown (white) and her fifteen-year-old son Floyd. John H. Logan, state commissioner of Education, reinstated our pupils in the school from which they had been barred because of their color. The victory is a decisive blow. Howard University has completed the endowment of its school of medicine. The conditional offer of $250,000 made by the General Education Board of New York has been met by paid-in subscriptions of an equal amount by officers, faculties, alumni and friends of the university, Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, gave $25,000. The general education board of New York City has made available to Howard University the $80,000 provisional promise of two years ago and added $50,000 more thus contributing $130,000 for equipment of the new medical school building rebuilt and added $50,000 more to the $370,000 appropriation for the construction of the building. Wage increases of 40 cents per day for firemen and 35 cents per day for hostlers and helpers on twelve southeastern railroads to be paid in U. S. Board of Mediation. A minimum daily rate of $5.60 was also fixed for firemen in passenger service. This award means an approximate total yearly increase of $950,000. A SILVER TONGUED ORATOR. Queen Saloti, Majestic Figure Standing 6 Ft. 8 In. In Height, Reigns Over 20,000 Subjects. Los Angeles, Cal.—"The greatest orator of the Fiji group of islands is Queen Saloti, black, well educated in English schools in Australia and a majestic figure standing 6 feet and 8 inches in height and weighing in proportion," says pretty R. Crompton of Grompton of Fiji, recently reinstated at the Biltmore Hotel. Saloti is some queen, declares Miss Crompton, and her Highness reigns over the 20,000 subjects of the Island of Toga, a of the Fiji group. The entire group has 90,000 natives, 60,000 East Indians and mixed races and only 4,500 whites. The natives are civilized and dress like Europeans excepting the wearing of shoes. Miss Crompton is the daughter of Robert Crompton is the king's counsel of Suva. Father and daughter are making a leisurely tour to Fiji, where Miss Crompton was born, 20 years ago. "TO HELL WITH FINLEY!" TO HELP WITH FINELY BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Urging the Elks to hold their convention in New or City Lodge, in the year ago in the Rev. R. M. Bolden of New York City dramatically declared: "To hell with Finley Wilson," in a sermon before the great semi-religious anniversary birthday of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, Sunday week. "The incident came as a climax to the occasion, which was also the 55th anniversary of the birthday of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Dayton, Q. poet, when in the midst of an impassioned address the pulpit to the chancel platform and made this statement. The exercises were held at Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, with the Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, and L. R. Richmond presiding. A Brilliant Black Statesman. Paris, France—The Hon. Alcide Delmont, (black), a member of the French Chamber of Deputies, is planning a trip to the United States in October of this year. Deputy Delmont is one of the leading lawyers in France. Three years ago, while practicing law here, the police band, Martinique, nominated and elected him to the French Parliament. Willed All to His Stepnog. Frankfort, Ky.—A hot contest over the $100,000 estate of the late Wm. H. Wright, lawyer of Louisville, will result from his having bequeathed it to Lucille Willece Fitzpatrick, his white stenographer, whom he had adopted as his daughter. Relatives have attacked the will on the ground of undue influence Over $10,000 was reported, last week, by solicitors of St. James A. M. Church in their campaign to raise $16,500 to pay off a second mortgage on the church. One hundred volunteers are hustling to raise the remainder in ten days. Of course, they will get it. When the pastor of the church was approached, last week, and asked that a representative of the defunct hospital movement to give fifteen workers and congregation, he answered the "brother" by saying, "NO!" and was right. Someone ought to tell Drs. Rodgers and Owens that they are thru, as far as a "jim crow" hospital for this city, is concerned, at least. Miss Harriet Sampson, a student of Wilberforce university, and Geo Sampson, Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla. are visiting him at his Hampshire wife, wife of Dr. E. A. Dale. They are children of Prof. and Mrs. Geo. Sampson of Jacksonville, former residents of this city. Has Again Stirred Mississippi White Women of Standing To Action —Student Conference Condemns it at its North Carolina Meet, Blue Ridge, N. C.—Stirred by the many recent outbreaks of mob violence in the South, the Y. M. C. A. Student Conference (which for the southeast is funded its annual meeting here, recently, adopted and gave the press the following resolutions relative to lynching and mob violence; "Whereas, the encouraging decline in lynching which has marked recent years suffered a serious relapse in 1926, and there have occurred in recent months many instances of this federal crime, particularly in the states of Mississippi and Arkansas, and "Whereas, we, the southern regional council of Student Y. M. C. A.'s, assembled at Blue Ridge, N. C., believe we voice the sentiment of the great mass of southern people in condemning all such atrocities crimes, and "Whereas, we have heard of these tragic occurrences with keen regret, and believe that they are unjustifiable from any standpoint; "Therefore be it resolved: "That we earnestly hope that the public officials and the Christian citizenship of our country will use every means of upholding the law and cultivating sentiment against such atrocities." Similar resolutions were adopted by the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference meeting at the same place dur ing the conference, and the students in attendance at these two conferences represent practically all the colleges of the southeastern region. Southern White Women Speak Up. Jackson, Miss.—Meeting here, recently, in annual session, the Mississippi woman's committee on race relations pledged themselves to the most progressive program of interracial justice ever adopted by any group in this state. Beginning in 1981, an annual lynching and mob violence, they promised to seek better school advantages for our people of the state, offered their co-operation to our club women in their efforts for a home for delinquent boys, and then gave proof of their sincerity by inviting our women of the state to membership on their committee. Among the specific improvements made by the pledged themselves were better facilities for teacher training, better school-buildings, and a more equitable distribution of school funds. Mrs. David M. Key, wife of the president of Millsaps College, was elected president of the state committee, which includes a score of the most prominent white women in Mississippi at the time. The pledged themselves of the great religious or civic groups. The meeting was convened by Mrs. Maud P. Henderson, of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, who reports a much more active interest in the movement than was apparent in earlier meetings. Again Condemns Lynch-Murder. Jackson, Miss.—Stirred by recent outbreaks of mob violence in this state, another group of Mississippi most prominent white women, meeting here, recently, drew up and gave to the press a vigorous condemnation of lynching, declaring that "as southern women we hold that no circling of the streets is appropriate and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration for the honor of womanhood." The Governor was commended for his efforts to suppress mob violence, sheriffs were urged to meet with force any attempts upon their prisoners, and grand juries and courts were called upon for their assistance to recount lynchers to justice. The statement in full was as follows: "We place ourselves on record as unalterably opposed to mob murder. The barbaric practice of lynching arouses unchristian passions, violates the sovereignty of our state, brings Mississippi into disrepute in the eyes of the world, and brutalizes all those who come within its evil influence. Circumstances can ever justify mob action and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration for the honor of womanhood. "We commend our governor for calling out troops to suppress mob activities, urge all sheriffs to meet attempts on their jails with force, and call upon a grand juries and of course, insist on the lynchers in Mississippi who have unlawfully slaughtered six men within the past two months." The signers were Mrs. Theodore D. Bratton, wife of the bishop of Mississippi; Miss Susie V. Powell, president of the state federation of women's clubs; Mrs. Myrtle G. Hicks, vice-president of the Mississippi federation; active worker in various organizations; Mrs. D. G. McLaurin, president of the Mississippi syndical; Mrs. W. W. Epperson, president of the Jackson federation of missionary societies; Mrs. Edgar Goodwil, social service superintendent of the Mississippi conference; Mrs. David M. Key, wife of President Key of Millsaps College; Mrs. Paralee McCaster secretary; Jackson the John Bell Hood, Mrs. J. T. Calboun, Miss Mamie J. Chandler, and C. A. McCurdy. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS TO OUR WELFARE AND PROGRESS SAYS WHITE SPEAKER, A LEADER IN CHURCH WORK IN THIS COUNTRY. Field Secretary Wm. Pickens Says Segregation Is the Socalled "Race Problem"—Rank Injustice to the Female of the Weaker Race Which the White Churches of the Country Refuse to See. Indianapolis, Ind.—Dr. Alva W. Taylor, social service secretary of the Disciples Church, in his address, June 24, before the eighteenth annual conference here of the N. A. A. P. Church, condemned the white churches of America for their indifference to the problems of race relations. "In no single great social reform in the history of the United States except that of temperance have the churches taken the lead," said Dr. Taylor. "On the slavery issue several of the large churches split and the split took place on Mason's and Dion's. That that of Mason's and Dion's simply ignored the issue. On the prohibition issue churches acted only after a majority of their members had become teetotalers and those denominations that did not make teetotalism a virtue did not espouse the cause of prohibition. On the race issue today we do not find the churches as such taking a position much in advance of other organizations. As compared with man and woman, the relationship on this issue. The Ku Klux Klan/ was made up to a large degree of ardent church members. In this city a white supremacy league holds its meetings in churches. In the question of church leadership in social reforms as such that embodied in ameliorating race prejudice and promoting interracial comity the church as such will proceed only as rapidly as the pulpit and other influences. In this city the minister can within five years put his congregation behind any reasonable forward step." Pickens on Race Segregation. Pickens on Race Segregation. "Racial segregation is synonymous with the race problem, declared Wm. Pickens, field secretary, at a mass meeting in Caleb Mills hall, June 27. The problem is that race segregation there is no problem." continued Mr. Pickens. "The amount and the meanness of the problem varies exactly with the extent or the degree of the segregation. It is clear that there can be no such thing as equality for a dominated group if it be publicly segregated from the dominating and controlling group. If there is segregation on the trains and other public carriers the weaker race is not going to be given the better accommodation, 'equal and separate' accommodations. For to think that people are not fit to ride in your coach and to think at the same time that they are fit to ride in a coach as good as your coach is a psychological impossibility. The words 'separate' but equal accommodations in segregation laws are a mere legal fiction. Every sound mind knows that real equality under the law cannot be achieved nor desired. The fight for equality of opportunity is essentially a fight against public segregation. A similar weakness is the inherent in laws forbidding marriage between two racial groups. The formal marriage is the only thing prevented by such laws while the natural marriage goes on unchecked. There are millions of mulattoes in this country who would never have come into existence if it had been necessary to prepare for the right of treatment instead of being strictly enforced instead of being denied the existence of nine-tenths of them. The most effective check upon amalgamation is equality of the races, the strictest equality in law. The female of the weaker group had the right to enforce ceremonial and legal marriage whenever natural marriage was forced on her, then race prejudices against her. Race prejudices would tend to discourage the natural unions. If a law were passed compelling white men to marry the colored women with whom they are living or by whom they may have a child, such a law would prevent more misenagement in 12 months than a law prohibiting marriage could ever prevent in 12 generations. Colored Americans are often accused of 'wanting to be white' when a better analysis would show that what they really want is the freedom and privateness of the color and the shape of their environment for self-protection—not because they think the environment is better than they are. The homopotent insect looks like a walking leaf when in motion and in the presence of an enemy it hangs quietly among the leaves to avoid being preyed upon.

Why should human beings be presumed to have less brains or less disposition to defensive adaptability than an insect? A civilization that puts a handicap on being colored and premium on being white shows itself to be an arrant hypocrite when it says: 'You ought to be proud to show that you are colored.'" **Justice Dead!** Indianapolis, Ind.—'I am not yet ready to believe that the majority of my fellow men, that is my white fellow men, have had their sense of justice eaten away by the canker of race prejudice. I believe that in the hearts and minds of a multitude of your fellow white citizens similarly situated, alike in everything but color, there is an abiding sense of justice which may be successfully aroused. "The soil has been well prepared. They listen to your artists because of the beauty of the sound. They read your authors for the feel of their words. The flesh has to come to them the proposition of justice in the abstract. We have successfully taken our case to the courts of law. Let us now take it to the courts of public opinion. "We must get our appeal into the white pulpit and the white press. Why not over the radio into the white home? It is a task of magnitude. It does appear discouraging. I know when the fiery Henry Ward Beecher carried his message to his listeners his listeners sought to enforce his silence. But the masses of our fellow white men can be told that as for them, race prejudice is a weapon in the hands of the enemy. Its sole purpose is their own injury. I believe our cause is just; so just that all must listen." Judge F. N. Fayn in his "Keen not address to N. C. P. conference held here, recently." WATCHERS MEET DIXIE TRAINS. Birmingham Acts to Head Off Migration of Workers—They Want The "Negro" Now. Birmingham, Ala.—Regardless of the legislative enactments of southern states which make it unlawful for workers to form labor unions, American workers for any city outside of the state, the South is daily losing vast numbers of them. So acute has become the situation in Birmingham and New Orleans that local authorities have launched vigorous campaigns to check the exodus, which according to the labor commissioner of Louisiana has reached a "crisis" in New Orleans among the workers in the city. The workmen are a factor whose services cannot be dispensed with. An appeal was recently issued to them by the director of industrial relations of the Chamber of Commerce in which they were reminded of the fact that the South is their home (almost a perfect HELL of a home) and that they are always "assured of the best treatment here." (This would be a joke.) It not satiricly aggravating He). In Birmingham the situation has reached the stage that the Chamber of Commerce has appointed agents to watch all outgoing trains in an effort to dissuade our people from leaving the city. A New Million Dollar Plant. New York City—The Lincoln Hospital School for training Afro-American students has opened in the N.Y. will have a new residence and school building. The plant fully equipped, will cost $1,000,000. Approval of plans has been made by Borough President Bruckner of the Bronx. Orange, N.

SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1927. Even the Mercy Hospital Association head-quarters' large sign, which stretched well across the front of the building in E. 55th St. fell face down, the first of the week. That sign was wiser than some of the "jim crow" hospital advocates, few in number at all times. Prominent white women of Mississippi are again active in their vigorous condemnation of lynching. It is to be hoped that their activity in this matter will encourage their sisters in all of the southern states to take similar action, at an early date. It is, to say the least, "a ray of light" from the southland The Gazette learns that about forty of our C. E. delegates (from Washington, D. C.) were housed in Hotel Majestic. Who was responsible for this? It is said, Rev. Henry P. Jones, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, was bitter in his denunciation of the act and yet no steps, we have as yet learned of, were taken to prevent it. In the great national Christian Endeavor parade, Monday afternoon, in this city, there was a small boy of the race carrying a banner: "Golden Rule C. E. Union, Washington, D. C.—We are only 3 years old." Behind him marched many of our men and women. This is a great country. It embraces every color and can afford to observe the golden rule, something it does not in very many instances when it comes to our people. KLUXERS DAMAGE MERIDA HOME The kluxers in the East End of the city, several times some months ago, bombed Dr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Garvin's residence, in Wade Park avenue, in a vain effort, which lasted off and on for about a year, to make them move. For some months now they have permitted the Garvins to live in peace, doubtless FINALLY being convinced that they did not intend to move or be FORCED to leave even temporarily their newly-built home. Recently, Dr. and Mrs. James D. Merida, whose offices are located on the southeast corner of E. 30th street and Central avenue, purchased a new home at 9106 Parmalee avenue, also in the northeast section of the city. Monday of this week, the kluxers got busy again, broke windows and split paint on the walls of the new home. Knowing Dr. and Mrs. Merida as we do, we do not think that they (the kluxers) will have any more success in this latest effort than they had in the case of Dr. and Mrs. Garvin. Only Dr. Merida, when he occupies the house, should not make the mistake of leaving it guarded, day or night, for several months, at least. Have someone in the house. Doctor. PROPERLY ARMED and prepared to help protect it and your family, in addition to invoking the aid of the Cleveland police. THE ELKS THREATENED. Since national officers of our Elks have issued a proclamation designating Cleveland as the place of the order's annual meeting, this year, because a certain law of New York state makes it impossible for a secret organization to parade there with their emblems, all of our Elks of the country, however much they may have desired this year's annual meeting held in New York City, should abide by the decision of their national officers to meet here again, this year. Their gathering in Cleveland, last year, was such a creditable one and left such a very satisfactory impression on all of its citizens without reference to race, class or color. that the coming, this year, is being looked forward to by all the residents of this city with the best of feeling. It is most unfortunate, indeed, that a minority membership of the order is seeking to bring about a split, and a "rump" meeting at New York City, in the face of the national officers' recent proclamation selecting Cleveland as the meeting place again this year. Underneath this very reprehensible act, we understand, is virulent antipathy to the grand exalted ruler of the organization, J. Finley Wilson, whom it is feared will seek election to a sixth annual term as G. E. R. Minority factions have sought to depose him for five years. That it is a minority faction can be seen from the fact that the vote to re-elect him for the fifth term at the last convention, held in 1926, was 497 to 231. This minority claims that five years of Wilson rule is enough and a new head should be elected. They say Wilson spent $23,000 to re-elect himself, last year; that he elect himself, last year; that he salary raised to $5,000, and together with certain fees, pays himself a stipend of $1,000 to $15,000 a year. Finally, they complain that "J. Finley" does not represent the highest type of Elk leadership. If the above claims of the minority faction be true, the leaders should continue to bring them to the attention of the delegates at their annual national meetings until a majority recognizes them and deposes him from the highest office of the order, and not seek to split the organization which has grown so large and powerful as a secret order, and, to date, has been so exceptionally creditable to our people of the entire country. A split would be most unfortunate, indeed, from every viewpoint and would result in no good to our people or its organizations in general. We sincerely trust that the leaders of the minority faction, who are seeking to disrupt the organization, will soon "see the light" and fall in line with the national officers' proclamation convening their annual session here in August next. --- ANTIOCH WINS FIRST PRIZE. In the Christian Endeavor parade, July 4, Antioch and Second Emanuel Baptist churches, St. John's A. M. E. and St. Paul A. M. E. Zion churches, St. Marks Presbyterian and St. James A. M. E. of our churches were represented. Prizes were awarded to the three largest delegations in the parade. Antioch Baptist church carried off first prize having nearly 200 marchers in line. The great parade was participated in by thousands of Christian Endeavors of both races from many parts of the world. This is a great honor for Antioch whose pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailey, and all of our people of the community, are justly proud of its victorious honor. For years under Dr. Bailey, Antioch was one of our leading churches. Slowly but surely, under his guidance, the church is regaining her former prestige. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are are still successful today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights they are by nature but self-respect and have no respect. The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionist, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1927. FRESH OHIO NEWS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

NEW YORK CITY.—Harry Wills, veteran heavyweight, and Paulino Uczudun, Spanish holder of the European title, will meet in a 15-round match at Ebbets field, July 13. Uczudun was reinstated Tuesday by the state athletic commission, which simultaneously approved the above mentioned match. He was training for the fight, which will mark the latter's first comeback attempt since he lost to Jack Sharkey, last October, at Ebbets field. What is, "Tiger" Doing, Anyhow? CHICAGO, Ill.—Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, and Maxie Rosenbloom of New York, went ten rounds to a draw in the windup of the boxing show at the White Sox ball park, Monday night. The first eight rounds, and forth in a steadily rain which failed to slow up either battler. They started fast, neither paying much attention to boxing, and both putting plenty of power into their punches. The slippery condition of the canvas bothered Flowers considerably. He lost his balance more than once, and the pain was worse than gong, fell on his back. In his efforts to retain his balance, one of his feet struck Rosenbloom, flooring him. The only knockdown, and it is questionable, came in the sixth round, when Flowers went down after a hard right to the chin, but he was up without a counter, and fell whether it was the force of the blow or the slippery canvas that downed the deacon. Yarbo Wins and is Suspended. The "whaling" Wilson Yarbo—"Schuffle" Callahan "ten-round" bout at Taylor bowl, Wednesday night, lasted only three rounds. Yarbo knocked Schuffle down so often, twice knocking him out of the ring into the arms of first row spectators, and gave him such a thoro beating he was an awful spectacle. The third round lasted less than a minute. The Jack McVey-Walcott Langford ten-round bout was lop-sided, in favor of McVey. Langford was floored in the face and a tear ran. Wed was received from Toledo, after the fight, that Yarbo and his manager, Dave Hawkins, had been suspended for six months by the Toledo boxing commission for cancel- nual sermon in Uhrichsville, Sunday week.

Robinson and McHaskill starred at bat for the winners collecting two hits, Sunday they lost again, score 6 to 4 another good game. Monday, a double-header was played, the local team losing both; scores, 16 to 5 and 9 to 6. Dimp Miller, our star southpaw, tried hard to win the second tilt, banging out a double and two singles, but a desperate ninth inning rally halted when Duff grounded out with the sacks loaded. Hornets Win. Score 6 to 5. In honor of "Ladies' Day," Tuesday, and exhibiting that "never say die" spirit that has characterized their play during the last two weeks, the Hornets played plains in the ninth inning at Hooper field to cop the final game of the series from the Memphis Red Sox, 6 to 5. Held to one hit during the first eight stanzas by Pryor, the Hornets staged one of the most thrilling rallies of the season to emerge from the game. The enclosed inning with a double and closed it with a pass, Glass forcing the winning run over the plate. Duff made a double, too. Godfrey Drops Neil. Los Angeles, Calif.—George Godfrey, giant heavyweight, knocked out Neil Clisby, (white), of San Bernardino in seven rounds at the Olympic, Tuesday night. The bout was scheduled for ten rounds. Godfrey with thirty-five pound weight advantage, put it all over the lighter man when the real fighting began. Clisby was out for several minutes. Wills And Dempsey. In a letter sent to Jack Dempsey's manager, Wednesday, Harry Wills is alleged to have offered, without cash return, to box four rounds with Dempsey for the purpose of determining the latter's physical fitness to box Jack Sharkey. Harry agrees, according to the letter, that the bout may be held in public or before newspaper men exclusively. We believe it would be a good thing to do, for two reasons—because it would permit the public to learn not only Dempsey's physical fitness to box Sharkey or anyone else, but also Will's. The editor of The Gazette acknowledged the receipt, last week, of an announcement of the marriage of Selma Theodoca of White to Harry Wills on Wednesday, June 27. The newlyweds are at home at 2169 E. 90th St. Congratulations and best wishes, from "The Old Reliable", Harry.

HOW SEGREGATION IS USED AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO LOWER OUR STATUS AS CITIZENS. How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pupit 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 Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson. It was still further treated by President Harding; it reached its zeal under president Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent 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 citizens in this city against the restricting white people, 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 situation and in Democratic one, it is a Republican, 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 papers, is tenacious and held on to by our Republican president. Only last week, a girl appeared after being passed the best 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, word is law there, as he the special favorite of Secretary Mallon and President Edge. He heals from the Carolina, the home of the other favorite 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 postofficer segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these interior 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, disadvantages as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government making their taxes, as it takes three of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them in justice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more 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 wifes and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of department, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building, announced dances for the official social evening, the officers for "the post-empire 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 color-co-workers gave the colored co-workers giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dealt to them. The colored employees get it regularly and often sends many and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of 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 better working conditions, having the better working conditions and recreational facilities. There is a large cateriale in this huge structure 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 forwards, pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, the employee 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 the power of the mind and then danced 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 discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted the firearm he was holding for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment the employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department 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 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 president, and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem per of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people, but 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! 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. 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, J. C. — We wish to call 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 loca a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to the attack and captured Cabin and made 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 a lt to together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of itsfulness, 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 in their rest rooms, toilets, sitting rooms and bathrooms, none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are well educated and well trained in order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impaire the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the President was a man of 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 been the banker of the national banking system which 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. 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 Yorkers, where 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 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 and forced to travel long distances when 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 of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who 'take advantage of the brightness' and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but, not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield field appointed Bland K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly orclaimed 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. A single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of the damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Washington, I. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the night 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 of Colorado, 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. Investigation of Burcus Reception Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees.

THE FASHION WEEKLY TELL A FASCINATING STORY OF COURSE you are not thinking of starting on that vacation trip without a smart jersey sports frock. If so, be of good cheer, for there is yet time to change your mind, and it's a fact your wardrobe would be sadly lacking without a pretty, becoming jersey one-piece dress or jumper suit. Nothing equal to jersey for faithful service! A jersey frock has the faculty of being tucked into any corner of auto trunk or week-end suitcase, coming forth at the propitious moment unwrinkled and ready to wear. The jersey frock in the pleture is a likeable model, because of its extreme simplicity; likewise its extreme modishness. It makes its style appear in such smart details as a to-the-front plaited fullness, also its twin-belt effect, these two-in-one belts being outstanding in the season's showings. Clever innovations are continually WIDE BRIMS AND S TELL A F THE stage is "all set" for about as enchanting a midsummer fashion scene as fancy can picture. For both matron and flapper the mode has prepared delectable frocks of fluttery sheer chiffons, topped with big drooping-brim chapeau whose colorfulness will happily join forces with the tones and tints of growing flowers and summer skies. The gowns and hats in the picture are typical of the mode whose reign is foretold for this summer. While these lovely costumes portray the general trend toward hats big of brim and frocks daintily sheer, only the individual ensemble can convey the glory of color which will be achieved throughout dress, headwear, footwear; likewise every accessory. Long sung-fitting sleeves are an outstanding feature of the multi-colored, deflowered chiffon frocks as now worn. A charming vagary of the mode is to omit applied trimming in styling these sheer transparencies, arriving GAZETTE Subscribe a being introduced in the styling of jersey frocks. They are such as tend to maintain a lively enthusiasm for the dress or suit or ensemble of jersey. There is, for instance, the unique method of employing several shades of the same color, as in case of a blue jersey frock, which seams several cone-shaped sections together ranging from navy through delft and marine, to palest tint, the entire crossing the blouse from one central point like rays of the sun. So deftly are the colors assembled and the fabrics manipulated, the effect is rather than of an ombre material which is dye in the knitting. Metallic interknitter effects are smartly exploited in jersey. Lovely for summer sportswear are pastel colored or white jersey frock embroidered with gay woolen yarns.

HEER FROCKS ASCINATING STORY at effect by a most intriguing handling of the fabric, in multitudinous drapes, panels, tiers and the like. Side-fulness is becoming quite a factor in styling. This same is put into practice in the instance of each of the gowns in the illustration. For the dress on the standing figure, a wide sash of self-material tied over the left hip answers to the call for the now-so-extremely-modish big-bow trimming, at the same time giving the impression of a generous side-fullness. The seated figure adopts a shirred side-insert which, while it assures the desired fullness, also attains an uneven hemline, which is also a matter of outstanding style importance. As to the printed motif for chiffons and geogettes, fashion runs to extremes from tiny florals to huge flowers, especially roses. Colored velvet ribbons, also shoulder flowers of self-fabric, are favorite trimming details. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
