The Uptakelakes' Vacation-Trip Time Will Close About Sept. 5 and Why—Where Women and Children Count. Touring on the Great Lakes has been exceptionally popular this summer and the leading lake resorts, Mackinac Island and Niagara Falls, have entertained more visitors than in many previous seasons, according to A. A. Schantz, president of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation company. "The season for the lake tourist steamers is drawing to a close and he behoves people who have been planning an outing on the inland seas to start within the next two weeks," said Mr. Schantz, "as most of the lines close for the year about Sept. 5. The weather on the lakes in September and October is really more delightful than during any other two months in the year, and people often ask why the beaches are not running, but the trouble is that the near approach of the opening of the schools in early September puts an end to vacation outings for the women must return home and get the children ready for school. "Women and children are in the majority on these lake tours and at the various summer resorts and when their patronage is withdrawn boats and hotels are forced to close as there are not enough men seeking recreation to pay them to keep going no matter how fine the weather may be. The regular line boats plying between Detroit and Buffalo, and Detroit and Cleveland, however, are kept in operation a great deal later in the season and the trip on Lake Erie in the fall one of the changes can be made. The service is better because the boats are not crowded to capacity, and the weather is delightful. So if you chance to miss a cruise around the lakes this summer you still have an opportunity to come to Detroit and enjoy the trip over Lake Erie to Buffalo and visit Niagara Falls, which is an all-year resort and is at its best during the bright, cool, fall months." Herndon Worth $500,000. Atlanta, Ga. — Alonza F. Herndon's will just probated here shows his estate to be worth $500,000 and not one million, as erroneously stated in the newspapers of the country at the time of his death, recently. He left one thousand dollars each to three orphanages and Atlanta University, and two thousand dollars to Herndon's Social Center of this city. THE RACE PRESS SHOULD STOP IT! GIVING TOO MUCH FREE ADVERTISING. Music Publisher Handy of New York City Shows How Our Needy Newspapers Are Too Often Used. New York City, July 29, '27. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: We are handing you check for six dollars ($6.00) to cover advertising and thank you for the publicity you have lent us from time to time. We have advertised "SUGAR" in every colored (newspaper) of any importance. North and South, and so far the returns have been very disappointing. It is the reading notices that keep up permanently before the people and flat (display) advertising never has paid. We simply feel duty bound to give enough advertising to make up for the free publicity we have received from the colored press from time to time. Very truly yours, W. C. Handy, Music Publisher, 1545 Broadway, N. Y. City. Mr. W. C. Handy, 1545 Broadway, N. Y. City. 1945 Broadway, N. Y. City. Dear Sir:—Your letter of a recent date with 'enclosure (check for a written agreement) received. Thank you far and large. I note particularly what you say relative to your display (flat) advertising, and reading-notices which are also, as a rule, advertisements although you do not seem to realize that fact. The publication, without charge, of so many reading-notices is one of the greatest hindrances of the successful publication of our newspapers. This results from their ignorance of business and lack of journalistic training. Your reading-notices, as a rule, should be paid for when they are not news. The race newspapers should do well properly conducted daily and weekly in such cases. weekly newspapers do in such cases—publish as much of all reading notices that are news as in their judgment they deem proper. This latter is frequently governed by the amount of space they have to spare for such publications. If reading is not required, and they are paid for, they are promptly consigned to the waste-basket, as you no doubt well know. Therefore, you can render the poor struggling race press telling service by paying for your reading notices, as far as you are able and ought to, since you contemplate the elimination of display advertising which covers almost an entirely different field as contrasted with that of reading-notices. They are not one and the same. Neither one covers entirely the field of the other. I thought you might want to know these things because they cannot but prove helpful in your business, and trust they will be received in the friendly spirit sent. With best wishes for your contin ued success, I am sincerely Yours for the race, HARRY C. SMITH. "A BATTLE ROYAL" In Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks—Two Members Jailed as the Result of a Factional Controversy. There is "a battle royal" being waged in Cuyahoga lodge, these days, in which the local police seem to have become interested. There are two factions fighting over certain lodge officials' handling of money matters, charges of wrong-doing being freely made by one faction while the other backs up the assailed officials. The grand exalted ruler's refusal to call a special meeting of Cuyahoga lodge to consider the matter in dispute, seven members (as provided by a lodge rule or law) sign a call for the same with the result, so members of the lodge say, that three at least of them have been made to suffer: W. W. Williams, one of the signers, found a popeeman stationed in front of the door of his place of business in E. 55th St. a few days ago. Was only one of the signers there happened to Political Boss Maschke, two other signer—Clarence Shaw, former G. E. R. of the lodge, and Thomas Bird were landed in jail on some charge, or for some purpose or other, members say. Roger Dillard, Esq., was elected a trustee to look into the money-matters-charge by the Williams-Shaw-Bird faction but the other trustees refuse, it seems, to let Roger function with them and thus let him see anything. Thus the controversy stands at present. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE CITY HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL FOR NURSES OPEN TO OUR PEOPLE. Wipes Out the "Jim-Crow" Hospital Proponents' Claim That Our Internes and Girls Are Barred A Young "Negro" Newcomer. The first paragraph of Gly Manager Wm. R. Hopkins' letter to Mr. Geo. A. Myers of this city, published elsewhere in this paper, reads as follows: "I am sure it is not necessary for me to assure you of my sincere interest in your people and of my desire to do everything possible to see that they enjoy whatever facilities are provided for our citizens generally." “Facilitates provided for our citizens generally” does not mean a “jim-crow” bathing pool, or a “jim-crow” hospital in Cleveland, according to City Manager Hopkins. Nor, by the same token, does it means a “illy-white” City hospital and school for nurses, all of which reminds us that “The Old Reliable” Gazette has repeatedly told its readers, which include the “jim-crow” Mercy hospital proponents, that it would not cost $220,000 to open the City hospital and is also too much expensive for nurses and girls desires to study to become trained nurses. It will be recalled that the “jim-crow” Mercy hospital proponents are asking the local public for that amount of money for a purpose obvious. In the light of the paragraph of City Manager Hopkins’ letter, quoted in the foregoing, all that needs to be done is for our people of this community to locate an interne (of the race) who desires to enter City hospital and a girl of the race who wishes to study to become a trained nurse, and have them make application for admission to the City hospital and its school for nurses, respectively. Indeed, does anyone know that we have such applicants refused admission wholly maintained by taxation? If not, how do we know that the City hospital and school for nurses are closed to our people? Our attention was directed particularly to this phase of the matter by the activity of The Observers’ Council, a race organization of young men which meets in Cedar “Y”. Of course, all the foregoing does not interest the “jim-crow” proponents who have been flirting with those anxious to unload the old St. Luke’s hospital property on any person, persons or class of people in the community who would be foolish enough to refuse admission to the school terming “bonus” has been held for persons who would negotiate the sale of that and other local property available for hospital purposes. This may explain the persistent activity in the dying “jim-crow” hospital matter of a few persons, professional men and others. A young "Negro", another one of the new-comers to Cleveland, proponents of a "jim-crow" hospital for this city, asked the following question, recently, in a communication to a local daily newspaper: "What has church indebtedness to do with the hospital campaign?" Since both the church people and the "jim-crow" hospital advocates must get their funds from the public, we suggest to the aforementioned young "Negro" that he ask the friend of some of the friends of the race in this city who are big in the local public's financial affairs, particularly as givers, and get an answer that will "hold him for a while." He stated there is not a single physician or relative of a physician on the board of directors for Mercy hospital. He might have added that just at this time, there does not seem to be anybody on that "board of directors". As a matter of fact there is very little left of the "jim-crow" Mercy hospital movement. It is simply a case of "rats deserving a sinking ship". Moreover the friend of some of the cities in the East and West, have hospitals owned by physicians of color that the public uses. This young "Negro" "jim-crow" advocate ought to go back "down home" where he could sate his inordinate desire and rapacious appetite for "jim-crow" if there is not enough of it here, as seems to be the case with him. Cleveland, O., Aug. 9, '27. Mr. W. R. Hopkins, City Manager, City Hall, Cleveland. Dear Mr. Hopkins:—I have con- fidence in Directors Barry and Harmon, relative to the regrettable occurrences at the Woodland Hills Park bath pool, and received as IN UNION IN STRONGNESS COPY FIVE CENTS SION.

This is as it should be and is all that could be asked or expected, and places the method up to Director Barry. The above editorial note, from The Cleveland news, which is self-explanatory and pertinent), actuates me to offer a response to the question upon this occasion a few representative colored citizens. I am therefore sending a copy of this letter to Director Harmon with the request for a dozen tickets of admission, and I am taking advantage of this means to further suggest for your careful consideration, the advisability of giving to our group, just as other groups are considered, representations from our group, and committees and commissions appointed from time to time to consider matters of public interest and various celebrations. With much regard and best wishes for continued success, I am The City Manager's Reply. Cleveland, August 10, 1927. Mr. George A. Myers, The Hollenden, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear George:—Thank you for your note of August 9. I am sure it is not necessary for me to assure you of my sincere interest in your people and of my desire to do everything possible to see that the得更over facilities are provided for our citizens generally. With reference to the appointment of your people on public committees and commissions, it has been our fixed policy to do this and I think you will find that representation has been given in all cases where this office has had any influence in the matter. If there has been any oversight, I certainly regret it. With much regard and best wishes, believe me always. THE TABOR CONVENTION. A Great Success—Special Entertainment Features—The Speakers, Competitive Drill, Banquet and Military Ball—$500 Prize. The twelfth triennial session of the International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, was officially opened, Tuesday, at 9 a.m. at Mt. Zion Cong. church by S. A. Jordan of Little Rock, Ark., chief grand mentor. Other officers in attendance included: J. E. Hertzman, S. A. Jordan of Louisiana, E. Wewell, I. P. P.; Lucy Bedford, M. D.; J. M. Mitchell, I. C. G. T. Business sessions were held in the forenoon and afternoon and delegates were present from many parts of the country. Tuesday evening, the triennial sermon was delivered by Rev. J. A. Tombs of Oklahoma; solo by Dt. DeBose of Louisiana and reading by L. R. Carey. Other speakers included: Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, Major Bird, S. A. Jordan and others of this city. The church opened the door. A church in the church parliars in honor of the visitors, followed. All day Wednesday and Thursday morning were devoted to business. Wednesday evening was conventional program featuring the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and others was rendered. Thursday noon came the very creditable parade thru the principal streets. In the evening the triennial banquet was held at the church and dance at the fortiorum. Both events were largely similar. Climax of the entertainment features came Friday night, at Grays' Armory—the competitive drill (first prize $600) and military ball. Large crowds attended the street carnival in Thackery Ave. throut the week. "SOCIAL EQUALITY". Dunn, N. C.—Mrs. Britian West (white), age 30 and pretty, and her "sweetie," Ira Cox, good looking and of athletic build, were sentenced, last week Thursday, to two years in prison on a charge of immorality. The they were found disrobed in her bedroom, she charged him with having broken into her room and attacking her. Her husband (white), an invalid, was asleep in an adjoining room at the time. He says that he will seek a divorce immediately. Cox had been making frequent visits to the West home. GOODNESS! ARE YOU GOING NUTTY- OR WHAT? NO SIS!

J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington (D. C.) Eagle, says in a statement to our newspapers that whatever opposition there is to his re-election, as grand exalted ruler of the Elks, is "negligible". We hope his judgment is correct. Success to you, Finley! The editor of this paper first knew James A. Joyce, Sr., as a youth in Columbus the plate of his birth. We have known him well, as an exceptionally active and successful architect and civil engineer, for most of his forty years residence in Cleveland. He was modest, unassuming, quiet, a good husband and father. His unexpected death, last Saturday, removes one of the forward figures of the race. When one recalls what Mrs. Annie E. Malone of Poro College, St. Louis, has done in the last ten years alone, both in a business and philanthropic way, for our people, individually and collectively, in this country, he or she is forced to admit that Poro College is unquestionably far in the lead of all others. Mrs. Malone has had the happy faculty of doing things material. Every one of her business and philanthropic moves have been of real consequence to the race, helpful and encouraging. She is a real asset. Rev. R. R. Moton's recent address to our National Business league seems to have been a real gem from a racial viewpoint. It was decidedly progressive. Much more than any message he has given to the public since his selection as principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute. It was a display of personal courage, sincerity and real loyalty to the race such as has not been made by any southern Afro-American educator in many, many years, if ever. Our loyal members of the race will stay away from "Color-Line" Luna park and will not go there on August 23, 27 or any other day. When the recent emancipation celebration, which was next to a failure, was held at that park, our people were barred from the swimming pool. AS USUAF: Whites are permitted to use it regardless of how low, from a moral view point, they may be. This ought to be enough for any so-called "Negro" or Afro-American with even a small amount of self and race respect. So stay away from "Color-Line" Luna park and tell all your friends and acquaintances of color to do likewise. OUR FORTY-FIFTH YEAR. We wonder how many of our readers noticed that with its issue of last week, "The Old Reliable" Gazette entered upon its forty-fifth year of continuous publication, every week on time. Forty-four years ago, this paper made its first appearance, with the writer at the helm as part owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other members of the company—Messrs. John Holmes, John Lightfoot and Oliver T. Jackson, the last named succeeding his brother, James Harvey Jackson, one of the four original members, the other three being Messrs. Holmes, Lightfoot and the editor, the writer. Ever since, the burden and responsibility of the publication of The Gazette has rested upon the shoulders of the writer. How successful we have been, is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part. For The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, especially, to the loyal of the race where ever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts THE GEEVUM GIRLS of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law were enacted by the Ohio Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help defend and protect our people, not only of Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its forty-four years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge. We refer particularly to its efforts against criminal legislation and harmful discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and the Gazette's clairon call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender", or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thrul all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-four years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers at this time and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. The case of the People's Realty Co., Herbert Chauncey, president, which asked the local courts, recently, for a receiver for the Pioneer Publishing company, was finally dismissed in court, Tuesday of this week. This is a signal victory for Mrs. Oliver A. Taylor, the controlling stock-holder in The Cleveland Call. The effort to harm the paper and company apparently has all the "earmarks" of malicious prosecution if not persecution. "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE congratulates its contemporary. The Call, upon the very favorable outcome of the legal contest. Rev. Charles Bundy, P. E., E. 95th St., after several months' illness died. Tuesday. Besides the widow, three sons and a daughter survive him and have the sympathy of the community. Dr. Bundy came to Cleveland about thirty or forty years ago from Cincinnati, pastored St. John's. A. M. E. church, several times, and oftener officiated as presiding elder of Ohio districts of the A. M. E. Church. He was a man of great faith and a believer in strong convictions, thoroly loyal to the race and quietly aggressive in his efforts to promote its progress. For many years, he was one of our leading figures in church work and civil effort in this state and counted his friends, acquaintances and admirers by the thousands. One of his sons is Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, dentist of this city; another, Supt. Richard C. Bundy of the State Department at Wilberforce, the other son and a daughter are THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1927. PRIME SPORT NEWS Flowers Wins From Malone. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 17—Tiger Flowers of Macon, Ga., former world's middleweight champion, won an easy six-round decision over Jock Malone of St. Paul, here last night. Weights: Flowers, 166 1/4; Malone, 158 1/2. The Hornets Win Two. The Hornets Win Two. Dimp Miller, whose famous "nothing ball" has baffled all the great sluggers this season, again flirted with the hall of fame, Sunday afternoon, at Forest City park, holding the Brown Stars of Youngstown to one hit in the first game of a double header, winning, 11 to 1. The Hornets, in an uneven encounter, 6 to 1, making a clean sweep of the two-game series. For seven sessions Miller hurled invincible ball. Roy, first man up in the eighth, slapped a drive to right center that Duff couldn't quite reach and it went for a double, and visions of a perfect game vanished. It was the only hit Miller permitted. Eleven of the visiting batsmen breezed. Square Moore was almost as good in the second contest, holding the Stars to five hits in seve ninnings. Summers starred at bat, collecting six hits in nine trips to the plate. Summers, Evans and Wesley made two-baggers and Stockard and Watts, three-baggers, in the first game. Moore and Watts made doubles and Wesley and Evans, triples, in the second game.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But give it to a Friend or Acquaintance wh might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It 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, 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 Hart. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson, still further, under President Harding; and under its tench under Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, in which workers, people, and black labor, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democrat institution, and it was begun by Democrats, and it was begun its all-embracing extent by Republican! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only a week, a colored girl is seated after her, a colored girl is best examination, and after having been telegraphed for the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home 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 paper, or to know 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 Constitution. In the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfoste segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferta 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, disadvantage as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than in the thought of their government taking their taxes, those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice 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 whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a com for t a ble 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 these segregation, and segregation, even attempted in 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 attend a reception to the heads of the theater, including the theater general, in the theater building. It announced the finding a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These two colored co-workers up 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 dared to union which men are regularly and often send emails 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 office printing 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 large cafeteria in this huge structure in which the employees may go; but there are also jobs 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, as elsewhere, the inferior. Less massive superiors employees 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 work for our employees, of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality" and then dismisses the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons. The police immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for 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 result of theirprivilege. Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem or his tummy 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 notated for her philanthropy among our people and who was appalled to terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to noavail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for the abolition of the slavery at the Wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinets and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured public in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The eight 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 fulness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. ARE SEGREGATED by their best efforts, collots, and working stations, and of none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 these inferior girls for 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. It is to be remembered that the president was a man of indies, and in that long sweep of his 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, devolved the nation's affairs to 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. Bain 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 Negroes are so source there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our government employees: that 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 locks, lock 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 work in the dark, 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 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 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. 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, 10. 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 wails 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 clearly before the effort to increase segregation in the departments were on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcans An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. Post Office, Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. COUNTY BRIDGE ENGINEER Designed Several of the Largest Structures in Cleveland—A Decided Credit to the Race. James A. Joyce, Sr. age 61, assistant county bridge engineer, for the last fourteen years, died late Saturday after a brief illness at his home, 2246 E. 80th St. Pneumonia. He was a native of Columbus, coming to Cleveland in 1886. Mr. Joyce was twice married, his first wife being Miss Edith Watson of Detroit, and his second wife, former Miss Edna Queen of this city. They separated years ago. A sister, who is touring Europe, two daughters and a son by his first wife, survive him and have the sympathy of the community. He was a graduate of Miss Georgia Fields, one of our public-school teachers and leading local vocalists (soprano), at the time of his death. He had a part in the construction of a number of the largest buildings in the city and was regarded very highly by leading local experts in his profession. His largest piece of work was designing the Detroit-Superior high level bridge. He was in charge of county buildings and machinery and inspected all metal work for the county. Before he became assistant county bridge engineer, Mr. Joyce was chief engineer and a director of the Cowing company. During the time he designed the Hippehouse building, Jefferson St. lift bridge, Saginaw (Mich.) swing bridge, and Kinsman Rd. vladuct over the Pennsylvania railroad. The funeral services, Wednesday afternoon, at Mt. Zion Cong, church were largely attended. OBITUARY. Mrs. Amy Williams, age 86, and one of our oldest residents, died, last week Friday afternoon, at Huron Hospital where she was very ill just one week. Heart trouble and old age. Funeral services at Mt. Zion Cong. church, of which she was one of the old members, Monday afternoon, were very largely at home, with the widow of Mr. "Rafe" (Ralph) Williams for many years well-known and highly respected head-waiter of the Forest City house, located on the corner of the Public Square and W. Superior Ave., on ground now occupied by the Hotel Cleveland. Two sons survive her—Clarence of this city, railwayman Joseph Williams, and the head of the music department of one of our Florida colleges, who studied piano and voice first in this city and was then sent abroad by his parents where he studied for years in Paris under the great artist, Sbrigilla, and in London under the equally great artist and composer, Tostl. Mrs. Williams was a devoted wife and mother whom at one knew esteem for her. The sympathy of all our older residents of Cleveland. Interment in Woodland cemetery, the resting place of her husband and son, Charley, who died in his youth. Blocton, Ala. Personal. Mrs. Alice Francis of Atlanta and Miss Isoline Ingram, who recently finished school at Normal, Ala., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Willie Caddel. Pretty Things that are Made at Home Lampshade Table Bed Chair TAILORED AND DRESSY TYPES GINGHAM, most versatile of fabrics, has come into popular use for interiors as well as for the wardrobe. With the present peasant mode in interiors now sweeping the country, decorators are turning more and more to gingham. Some are even using it as a wall covering in place of paper with great success. It is shellacked and can be kept clean with soap and water. From the dresser drape to the tablecloth and napkins there is scarcely any interior decoration that lends itself to fabric that cannot be made from gingham. The dresser drape in the sketch may be made from any of the many beautiful colorful designs, and trimmed with plain gingham. The plains come in colors to match the predominating shade in the design. It will require about seven yards with three yards for trim. The "nazy pad," as it is called, sketched just under the dresser, is for the beach, yachting, lawn or picnic, where one may like to take a siesta in the open. It is simply made from two strips of gingham of the width required. All ginghams come in 32-inch widths. To make the tablecloth will require one yard and a quarter of the designed gingham and three-fourths of a yard WIDE BRIM HATS I TAILORED FROM skuil caps to brims of tremendous width—tis the latest caiprice of the millinery mode. Broad brims and short skirts, never—so sald some of our fashionists at some time or other in the past. In present-day modes, behold the theory disproved! Smart women of fashion are at this moment looking their smartest in short-jacketed, short-skirted tallieurs topped with plain-banded straw hats of enormous dimensions. That's the interesting part of these big-brimmed hats (some quite floppy)—they are not confined to dressy modes. Rather do they compete with entrenching so-thin-you-can see-through-them picture types. For that matter many of the large tailor-banded black hats are themselves transparent, but these are not as frequent as are the very elegant milans, with their velvet bows and bands. Modishly banded, with either grosgrain or velvet ribbon, this is the regulation trim adopted by fashion for huge straw hats, such as the one pictured to the left in this group. If it AZETTE A Subscribe af of the plain for a five-inch border. The cloth will be about forty-one inches when finished. Each napkin requires one-fourth of a yard of designed material and an eighth of a yard of the plain. The lamp shades are made from parchment with designed gingham pasted on with rubber cement. Rubber cement is better than glue, as it is not so apt to come through, and will permit the gingham to peel off easily in case of a mistake. The light shining through the parchment and gingham is beautifully softened and very effective. For a large lamp shade of about sixteen inches in depth it will require two and a quarter yards of gingham and a yard and a quarter of parchment. The strip of parchment and gingham when ready to plait is four and a half yards long. The slip cover for the winged chair is a more difficult proposition. Still there are any number of women who make their own slip covers without the aid of an upholsterer. It is simply a matter of fitting the chair. Some women pin paper to the chair and then cover a pattern for the gingham. For the chair shown, which is a fair-sized wing chair, it required nine yards of gingham.

Leghorns which measure up to the mode's requirements as to width of brim are either an naturelle, or else dyed black or some lovely pastel shade. Black velvet ribbon bands are the rule for natural or black leghorns, but if the leghorn be colorful, its tailored trim is either a perfect match or a perfect contrast. The same applies to the lovely large crin capellines so favored with sheer frocks. The leghorn hat first in this group maintains a tailored aspect, although it has been intricately worked with velvet. The hat below introduces a pastel-colored silk facing. At the top to the right in this collection of detectable summer millinery, is one of those sheer transparent affairs, which lends itself so consistently to the dressy midsummer costume. A tulle flange adds to the width and grace of the brim. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (@. 1927, by Western Newspaper Union.) after Reading after Reading HERNDON AN "UNCLE TOM". Soon after the recent death of Alonzo F. Herndon, the alleged millionaire business man of Atlanta, The Daily Constitution of that city, published an editorial under the headline: "A High Type of Negro," the opening paragraphs of which are: "The life of Alonzo F. Herndon, an outstanding Negro citizen of Atlanta, who died Thursday evening, illustrates what one of that race can do who takes the correct viewpoint of racial relations, and who is frugal, honorable and trustworthy." "He was one of the largest, if not the largest individual contributor to the Community of North Africa, gave liberations in a youth-worthy civic movements. He contributed heavily to the advertising fund raised by the 'Forward Atlanta' commission." "The correct viewpoint of racial relations" means in a general way apparent willing acceptance upon the part of southern "Negroes", (without retaliation of any kind) of all the denials of their rights and privileges, and consequent discrimination, the prejudiced white south sees it to visit upon our class of people in that section of the country. This is too great a sacrifice for any manly American citizen of color to make even to accumulate enough of this world's goods to be heralded by the southern daily press as a millionaire, Continuing, The Constitution editorial also says, and this is the CRUX of it: "And yet, he never forgot he was a Negro, and, regardless of his wealth and community influence, he did not assume at any time to place himself in a position to break down or weaken a social structure as it exists and must always exist." In plain words, the editor of The Constitution says in the foregoing that Alonza F. Herndon "did not assume at any time to place himself" in the position of an American citizen demanding his rights and privileges, as such, and the treatment in a general way that all are entitled to under the law because it would have a tendency "to break down or weaken the social structure as it exists" in the south. Because of Herndon's willing assumption of an "Uncle Tom" attitude or position and place in the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, in deference to the demands of the whites of that section of the country, he is characterized "a high type of Negro" by The Daily Constitution and southern whites generally. But was he? Hardly! It enabled him to accumulate considerable wealth, it is true, but compelled him to sacrifice what is dear, far more valuable and important, to the manly "Negro" or Afro-American than all the wealth he possessed at the time of his death. In this day and time, the editor of The Constitution can coddle to himself the thought that "such social structure must always exist" in that section of the country, but it will not, Even the benighted south, along that particular line, will eventually be forced by the inevitable march of progress to accord all citizens, without reference to race, creed or color, all their rights and privileges in public places, at least. "It has been claimed by some in other sections of the country, that the Negro has no chance in the south—that he is denied opportunities for advancement. The story of the life and accomplishments of Herndon is unanswerable evidence that such a life is groundless", says The Constitution. The claim is correct, as all know. The "Negro", who insists upon exercising all his rights and privileges under the law, in common with citizens of all other groups, has "no chance in the south" to live any considerable length of time to say nothing of being "denied opportunities for advancement". Herndon's life and accomplishments are anything but "unanswerable evidence" that an American citizen of color, who insists upon his rights and privileges, has a "chance in the south—opportunities for advancement" and even the editor of The Constitution knows this statement is the truth. "What he did can be done in a measure by any Negro of ability, frugal habits and honor"—The Constitution. Only an "Uncle Tom Negro" of ability, frugal habits and honor could do in the south, in either a small or large measure, what Alonza F. Herndon did in the way of accumulation of wealth. A NEW CHARGE AGAINST BOOZE Daughters of the Late "Mississippi" Montgomery Start a Legal Battle —They Charge That He Was Polsoned! Greenville, Miss.—Mrs. Mary Booze daughter of the late Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou this state's Negro town, and her husband, Eugene P. Booze who was Mr. Montgomery's right-hand man in developing the town, have been arrested on a charge of having caused the death of Mr. Montgomery, three years ago, by giving him poison. This action is generally supposed to have been the result of a disagreement between Mrs. Booze and Miss Estelle Montgomery, her sister, which arose as the result of the division of their father's estate. Booze is a brother of Mrs. E. J. Gregg, of Cleveland, Ohio.
