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and children are in the majority on these lake tours and at the various summer resorts and when their patronage is withdrawn boats and hotels are forced to close as there are not enough men seeking recreation to pay them to keep going no matter how fine the weather may be.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. R'S STATEMENT ND SCHOOL FOR NURSES UR PEOPLE. ow" Hospital Proponents' es and Girls Are Barred gro" Newcomer. surances from them that law and order would be preserved. 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.

Weshington, D. C., (Special). —Zhere is more segregation Washington today under President Coolidge Uhan there has ever been since the Civil War, The beginnings of segregation Were under President dart. It was greatly extended, un- der President Wilson; increased, Gull turther, under President Hard- ing; and reached its zenith under resident Coolidge. Sor instance, tue largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, Dut the pres- ent administration has found time ‘and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Wemocratic scheme of insult, but auch is mot the case. Mr. Taft im- troduced it in the bureau of engrav- ing. He segregated the consus-takers in this elty in 1910, restricting white workers-to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an- founced in bis official capacity that Negroes shvald not hold office where waite people complained. Seg- fegation, then, is a Stepublican in- stitution amd not a Democratic one. it was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing x vent by Republicans! ‘There is far more of st in the de- partments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- fee, which makes it next to impos- sible for @ colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since thelr color is disclosed in their photo- raph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after haying been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and Shey saw her complexion. Commis sioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, amd his word is law there, as he 1s the spec- tal favorite of Becretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- regation forces, Col, Sherrill, super- Intendent of buildings and grounds, ft is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. ‘The colored people here who know the President could destroy segre- gation in the departments ot the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a Joss to understand why he does not put bis splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and obsolutely no opposition. ‘They wonder if he is not a firm be- Lever in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief ten- ets 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 postof- five segregation 1s\ rampant. The faithful colored. clerks work under constant humiliation nd physical disadvantages. ~The ) departrient maintains a spacious cafteria for whites only, where those inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons trom home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage- ous as it Is, is far less galling to the eo.ored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, ‘as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off ag though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the mora when they reflett that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelli- gent and efficient service—the white man of thelr attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ' ‘The department goes even farther to {ts sollcitude for whives and neg. lect of colored. It maintains a well- appointed lub room. with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees, This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, In the locker rooms thefe is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the tollets, And alf of this is against the most dependable and faithful emplcyees. ‘Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the| white employees, in the very pres- snce of the colored, to attend a re- neption to the heads of depayments, meluding the postmaster general, in| the postoffice building.

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 ex- amination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or uld ia the serv- ice, 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 col- ored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly 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 thetr skim.

Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites ass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- aries, The whites have a large recrea- tional 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 aud Gance. Last fall, a young Afro- ‘American with a splendid record in his work, ‘felt the Injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part im the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was ab- ruptly stopped, and the young man reported for ‘attempting to take part in an entertainment proreee: for employees, He was called to the office, lectured for being ‘‘one ee those smart Negroes” who believe in “social equality,” and then dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge. He was & night-employee, hence he carried & pistol. Hight after the dance in- cident 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. De-| tectives came to the bullding to ar- rest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to dis- cover the pistol. They quickly drop- ped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dis- missed. 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 thelr government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have ex- pressed thelr deeply-wounded fecl- Ings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose in- stitutions they are serving 0 faith- fully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of ex- jst, and a request for the names of my informants.

Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according tu the Presi- dent’s recent acceptance speceh, Is now under th. ablest financial genius since the days uf Alexander Hamil- ton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West [Tudies, and in that long sweep of his tory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lin: con's cabinet, who, ina national ex- iremity. such as this country. has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master fnan- cier, John Sherman, These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the depart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Biatr from North Carolina, has not ap- ‘pointed a colored clerk singe his in- Cumbeney. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat trom Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessi- tated, this is by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There ts the same general complaint here among our clerks and other en:ployees as there is in the other branches of the gov- errment—fallure to recognize their eftictency when promotions are due; apility to go so far and no farther. ‘the various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewnere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toflers, lock er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure Hence, the segregated clerks are forced’ to endure physical inconven- fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they de- aire the use of them. The depart ment maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep ot woodland along our national drive- Way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and s0- cialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs.

He was a native of Columbus, com- ing to Cleveland in 1886. Mr. Joyce was twice married, his first wife be- ing Miss Edith Watson of Detroit, and his second wife, former Miss Edna Queen of this city. They sep- arated years-ago. A sister, who ts touring “Europe, two daughters and a son by his first wife, survive him and have the sympathy of the com- munity.

This Is too great a sacrifies 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 editor- jal also says, and this is the ORUX 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 piace himself in a position to break down or weak- en the 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 as sume at any time to place himself” in the position of an American eitl- zen demanding his rights and privi- lege, 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 ex- ists” in the south. Because of Hern- don’s willing assumption of an “Un- ele 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 sec- Uon of the country, he is character ized “a high type of Negro” by The Daily Constitution and southern whites generally, But was he? Hardly! It enabled him to accumu- late considerable wealth, it is true, but compelled him to sacrifice what is dearer, far more valuable and im- portant, to the manly “Negro” or Afro-American than all the wealth he possessed at the time of his death. Im this day and time, the editor of ‘The Constitution can coddle to him- self 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, with- out 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 claim Is groundless”, says The Con- stitution. The claim is correct, as all know. ‘The “Negro”, who insists upon exer- eising all his rights and privileges under the law, in common with citi- zens of all other groups, has “no chance in the south" to Hve any con siderable length of time to say noth- ing of being ‘denied opportunities tor advancement”, Herndon’s life and ac- complishments are anything but “‘un- answerable evidence” that an Amer- can citizen of color, who insists upon his rights and privileges, has a “chance in the south—opportunities for advancement” and even the edi- tor of The Constitution knows this Statement is the truth. ~ “What he did can be done in a measure by any Negro of ability, fru- gal habits and honor".—The ‘Con stitution. Only an “Unele Tom Negro’ of ability, frugal habits and honor could do in the south, in either a small or large measure, what Alonza F. Hern- don 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 Poisoned! Greenville, Miss.—Mrs. Mary Booze, daughter of the late Isaiah T. Mont- gomery, founder of Mound Bayou, ‘this state's Negro town, and her hus- ‘band, Eugene P. Booze who was Mr. Montgomery's right-hand man in de- veloping the town, have been arrest- ed on a charge of having caused the death of Mr. Montgomery, three years ago, by giving him poison. This ac- ton is generally supposed to have been the result of a disagreement between Mrs. Booze and Miss Es- telle Montgomery, her sister, which rose as the result of the division of their father's estate. Mr. Booze is a brother of Mrs. E. J. Gregg, wife of Dr. E. J. Gregg, of Cleveland, Ohio.
