Dear Harry:—I write you to thank you for the prominence you have given the annual event of my candidacy to secure the support of the Ohio delegation in the next Republican National Convention. Your friendly attitude and cordial support are very greatly appreciated. Statement of Sen. Frank B. Willis Washington, D. C., Dec. 6, '27. I have not seen the statement made by the President, this afternoon, but have been told that he has amplified his former statement and indicated that he meant that to be final. Personally, I have entertained that view since the time I first read the August statement. I have, however, made no comment thereon, feeling that I might be mistaken in my view. I was one of the earliest to pronounce in favor of the renomination and re-election of Calvin FRESH OH FRESH OHIO NEWS CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

It was with sincere regret that I learned in August of his determination, as I viewed it, not to be a candidate. If he had been a candidate, he would have had practically no opposition, either for remonition or re-election. He would have had, my judge, vote in the National Convention from the Ohio delegation. However, even though President Coolidge decided definitely not to be a candidate, whoever is nominated by the Republican party as its candidate for President, must be elected upon the fine record of achievement of the Coolidge administration. Tax reduction, debt-payment, economy and efficiency in government, safe and sane foreign policy—these have been some of the outstanding virtues of the administration of President Coolidge, and will be the basis upon which the Republican party will go to victory in 1928. Numerous friends in Ohio, and some in other states, have been good enough to mention my name in connection with the Republican nomination for the Presidency. If the Republicans of Ohio feel that I can creditably represent them as their candidate in the forthcoming Nation Convention, I shall feel it a great honor so to do. Frank B. Willis.

Willis SOUTHERN "SOCIAL EQUALITY" Is What This Member of the Stock Exchange Sought—Wonder If He Wasn't a southerner—She "Bawled Him Out." Los Angeles, Cal.—Mildred Washington threw concretion into the heart of a rich heir-be, masher of the composite Causasian race at the stage door of the big Metropolitan Theatre the fourth night of her recent engagement. Our only performer on the notable bill, she had made a great hit with her "mirrorette" dance which she had originated while helping to film the new Paramount feature photoplay. Legion the Condemned at the Dusenberg bouquet had been handed her on the stage, from some mysterious sender. On the night in question, while leaving the stage door, she was met by a liveried Filipino chauffeur who handed her a note which read: "Dear Little Girl;—I have watched you on the stage for four nights, each night sending flowers. Some chauffeur was there, the Dusenberg standing in the airbur around the corner in Hill street. It means singing and dancing for me only, the use of the car, a pretty bungalow, clothes and jewels. Inclosed find a little check ($100) as a present." "Adoringly, Billy." Arriving at the car, she handed back the check to the man (?) recognized as a prominent figure in local Stock Exchange circles. And speaking a little louder than was suitable for the wealthy masher, she said: "I suppose you thought I would jump at your offer because I am a struggling colored girl, but I prefer to work hard for the public at small wages rather than waste any time when I think 'Thinks' for the offer of an autoride." U. S. BAR-FREE PRISON. For Women Has a "Jim Crow" Sec- curity. Continued. By Republics. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Alderson, W. Va.-Imagination is required to picture a group of handsome children in a house. But such is the case, "Uncle Sam's" first and only prison for women is rapidly nearing completion. A model of its kind, it will cost $2,500,000. There is no wall about the reservation. Windows are without bars. Inmates (they don't call them prisoners) walk to and from buildings unescorted. Ultimately 17 fireproof cottages will be erected. Each will accommodate 30 women. There are 100 inmates in a polished pine floors. Each inmate has a dresser and mirror, not to mention distinctly feminine kimono and bedroom slippers provided by Dr. Mary Harris, supt. There are also books and pictures. Each cottage has a pretty furnished living room. There are separate buildings for white and colored inmates and a nursery will be provided for their children. If the last Congress had had a federal efficiency for a filibuster the prison would not be practically completed. There will be a model laundry, sewing room, cannery, poultry farm and dairy. Manual training and weaving will also be taught. Four acres will furnish room for outdoor recreation. If an inmate becomes unruly she will be assigned to what they call protected privilege" buildings which have barred windows and other restrictions. A clinic in the hospital building will handle drug addicts. Sixty per cent of the prisoners already there have violated the federal narcotic law. NEW PAYNE UNIVERSITY!

Fountain of the Church and Dr. J. R. Burghes, financial agent, are its leaders. The H. K. Ferguson Co. of Cleveland made the plans and will construct the central administration building at a cost of $85,000 an attractive structure of brick in colonial design, with college offices and twenty class rooms. It is designed so an auditorium with a capacity of 2500 can be added later. Dormitories for both men and women also will be built in the near future. An ideal site has been obtained, with thirty-seven acres of rolling, wooded land. Quads, Triplets and Quads.

ASK THAT FEDERAL SEGREGATION BE ABOLISHED AND AMENDMENTS UPHELD! Secretary Work's Manly Act Recalled—Pension Bureau and General Land Office Guilty, Cited Again—Two Important Bills Reintroduced in Congress. Washington, D. C.—The following appeal to President Calvin Coolidge to end federal segregation of our employees in the governmental departments here was received by him last week. It was sent by J. W. Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., N. Y. City, and also asks him to rebuke those directly responsible for it. The Appeal to Coolidge, "Dear Ms. President: "I feel it my duty, in behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to call to your attention a situation in the government departments in Washington which is deeply stirring the sentiment of colored citizens throughout the United States I recoiled to practice of segregating colored clerks from other employees, in some cases depriving them of such stenographic service as is afforded other employees and setting them apart in rooms by themselves. "In one case, that of the pension bureau of the department of the interior, we have represented representations made thru officers of the Washington branch of this association procured an abatement of the segregation evil there about which colored people had felt deeply; Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of that department, issuing an order restoring colored employees of the pension bureau of the department of the interior, arrangements they had had before the segregation by color had been effected. "Another case of segregation is being brought to the attention of the officials responsible in the General Land Office, Mr. Wm. Sprye, the commissioner, having received a delegation in protest against the segregation of seven colored clerks who were allowed the services of only one colored stenographer, being the only one in the land hand matter for the white stenographers. In the general land office no less than 15 of the 21 colored clerks, we are reliably informed, have signed a letter to the secretary of the interior, protesting against the segregation and discrimination by color practiced against them in that bureau of the United States government. "Colored people feel that under years administration they have a right expect that such practices, expressive, the "Jihad," and a relic of slavery days, will receive the rebuke which they deserve, and that it will be made clear, not only to those responsible for the administration of the government departments in the city of Washington but to the people at large as well, that humiliation of loyal public servants and employees, deprivation of their rights and facilities afforded their fellow-employees, forms no part of the fellow-employees, by imposing the American spirit and carried out from day to day by the officers of government. "We feel sure that a statement from you expressing your feeling in this matter at the present time, and issuing the appropriate instruction concerned with the executive branch, would be inspiring to colored citizens and would be welcomed by all who deplore the injection of racial prejudice in defiance of the spirit of the Constitution where loyalty, expressness efficiency and citizenship right, might be exercised. Such an act, I am sure, would be among the most significant in the history of your administration." An Appeal to the Congress. Leaders of our fraternal, religious welfare, and civil rights organizations in all parts of the country, met here in conference, last week, under the auspices of the Elks, and united in an appeal to the Congress, to the leaders of American thought, and to the American people generally, for enforcement of the entire Constitution. The appeal, drafted by Prof. Wm. Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P., was signed by many individuals representing our Elks, Natl.quals Rights League and Race Congress, National Association of Publican Women and Federation of Women's Clubs, the Shriners, True Reformers and the A. M. E. Church. The appeal deplores "the dangerous policies of those time-serving political leaders of any position, who are disposed to compromise with the sentiment that certain of our laws and constitutional provisions cannot be enforced because of the fact that a minority, even a IN UNION WE IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS H RESS!

It also states that the 13th, 14th, 15th and 18th amendments are as vital to the Con- Prof. Neval H. Thomas. stitution and "should be as honestly enforced as the 5th or 6th." The appeal continues: "In the last analysis white people and black people have a common interest in the sacredness and the security of the ballot, and of all constitutional rights." Besides its meetings, the conference called at Republican national headquarters, and met in a banquet cementing the program in which all of our organizations of the country are co-operating. Two Important Bills Introduced. Two bills of vital interest to the race were introduced in the lower house of Congress. The first is the Dyer Federal Anti-Lynching bill, reintroduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri as house resolution 5540. In view of President Coolidge's strong pronouncement on the "foul crime" of lynching and his strong recommendation that "the Congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination," the reintroduction of the second bill was introduced by Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts as house resolution 34, directing a report from the census committee in connection with legislation to reapportion congressional representation. This resolution would reduce the representation from southern states which disfranchise the Afro-American. With Coolidge's "Compliments." The President has sent to the Senate the name of Addison E. Southard (white), of Kentucky, now foreign service officer, class 3, to be Minister and Consul General to Abyssinia (Ethiopia). Africa. BLOCTON, ALA., ITEMS Mrs. Annie B.

Councilman Louis Petrash's resolution asking for improved service on the Broadway line, was adopted in the City Council, Monday evening.

Hopkins' and Director Barry's efforts to nullify the effect of Councilman Peter Witt's truthful charges, in his recent Hotel Cleveland speech, by rushing into the daily newspapers with "comebacks" and a challenge are really ridiculous, especially so to those who live in "The Roaring Third" and know Witt has not told one-half of the truth about the rotten, immoral and unlawful conditions existing there. Peter could literally "skin" Wiflam in a debate on that subject. Take him on, Peter! and do the job thoroughly. Leroy J.

Weaver, who was convicted of killing Russell, March 12, during an attempted robbery, was originally sentenced to life, but 12 was obtained until June 15, pending an appeal which has not been filed at this writing. Weaver's pal, Alex Maynor (white), in the crime was given a life sentence after "turning state's evidence" (squealing) and Weaver should have received the same sentence. The Ohio Supreme court, late Wednesday, granted an indefinite stay of execution. THE ENTERING WEDGE. We call the attention of our local Federation of Women's clubs and the local N. A. A. C. P. branch to the fact that Miss Irene Pennington (white), supervisor of public library clubs, has organized a segregated poetry club for our younger girls and a segregated art club for our older boys who use the Woodland branch library, and has doubtless done this same thing at other local public library branches. This ought not to be and our people should see to it that it is discontinued immediately because our local library is better than like our public schools. Therefore, segregation in the organization of clubs at the branch libraries is wrong in principle and only an entering wedge to separate public schools, and the sooner we wake up to this fact and act promptly and wisely the better it is going to be for those of the race in this community in the not too far distant future. Segregation feeds upon an and an more powerful wedge than better than the black or white, who advocate it. Miss Pennington may mean well and may not be all to blame because there are those among us, who have come to the city in the last decade, that are use to segregation in the section from whence they came and at times make the harmful mistake of asking for separate organizations of formal annotated in our local public institutions. They seem unable to realize the harm they are doing. Therefore, it is the duty of our Federation of Women's clubs and local N. A. A. C. P. branch to interest themselves in this matter at once to the extent of making it clear to both Miss Pennington and any of our misguided people, who patronize the Woodland or any other branch library in this community, that they are making a separation of formal annotated in our separate clubs based on race lines. If this does not prove sufficient, then drastic action must be resorted to because there should be no place in our public institutions for those who would promote harmful color or race lines.

BUILDS WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL AUTO Underwood & Underwitt J. M. White, manufacturer of insulated automobile wire, is building a 36-cylinder, tri-motor auto with which he hopes to shatter all world's records on the Ormond-Daytona beach, Florida, this winter. The car develops 1,500 horse power, weighs 4 tons, and is the most powerful the world has ever seen. It has 12 carburetors, no rear springs, seats two, has four 12-inch steel chassis beams to support the three 12-cylindered 500 horsepower aviation-type engines, geared direct to an enormous axle, and has no clutch or transmission gears. The upper photograph shows Albert J. Robinson, mechanic, and J. M. White, inventor, seated in the midst of the 36 cylinders. The lower photograph is the first ever taken of the powerful automobile SAFETY DEMANDS KEEP TO RIGHT Latest Version of Time-Honored Traffic Rule Is Brought Forward. "Keep to the right, for safety's sake!" is the latest version of a time-honored traffic rule being advocated by the traffic committee of the Washington Automotive Trade association. Despite the potential danger in riding the crown of the road, too many motorists fall to observe one of the most fundamental laws in driving, it is pointed out, with the result that passing on the right is becoming more and more popular. Some of the new traffic regulations were designed specifically, according to the dealers, to eliminate this evil and to encourage the practice of keeping to the right. Rule Often Ignored. "Operators of cars in the District apparently are unmindful of one of the cardinal rules of the road—"Keep to the right"!" said Paul B. Lum, president of the Washington Automotive Trade association, in commenting on the traffic committee's warning. It is becoming a universal practice to drive in the center of the street, although every effort has been made by the traffic authorities to encourage the exercise of the keep-to-the-right rule. "The idea underlying the regulation clearing the streets of parked cars between the hours of 8 and 9:15 o'clock and 4 to 6 p. m., was to allow a wider space of travel for traffic, unhampered by parked cars on the right side of the road. Unless drivers take advantage of this clear space to the right, they are defeating the aim of the regulation and are contributing to a situation equally as confusing and dangerous as obtained before the new law was inaugurated." Congestion May Be Avoided. "Much congestion can be avoided," he continued, "if drivers would use every inch of the roadway. Drivers should keep to the right, leaving the center space clear for passing cars. At present many cars are forced to the left side of the road in their effort to pass, or else they must resort to the alternative of passing on the right. "Either practice is contrary to the accepted principles of driving in this country and is a contributory factor in the number of traffic mishaps. Washington has more miles of wide streets than any other city in the country, and motorists should take advantage of this fact by not contracting the avenue of travel to a narrow strip in the center of the road." Greek Drivers of Hacks Helped by Government The Greek government has taken official pty upon hundreds of old hackmen who have been driven out of business by the automobile. A special bureau has been organized with its aim the granting of indemnities to former cabmen and instruction as chauffeurs. The income of the bureau is derived from a special tax equivalent to 45 cents per ton of gasoline. The government buys from the cabman his horse and carriage at a good price and besides grants to him an indemnity of from $2 to $330, according to age. As soon as the old cabmen learn to operate automobiles they buy their own cars. Ten States Have Increased Speed A recent survey by the American Automobile association shows that in at least ten states, the speed limit was increased by legislative action this year. In Idaho the limit was increased from 30 to 35 miles per hour in the open country; in Indiana, from 35 to 40 miles; in Iowa, from 20 to 25 miles per hour in residential sections of cities; in Maine, from 8 to 15 miles at street intersections in built-up areas; in Maryland, from 35 to 40 miles in open country; in New Hampshire, from 25 to 35 miles in open country, and in business sections, from 15 to 20 miles; in North Carolina, from 35 to 45 miles per hour in open country; in North Dakota, from 30 to 35 miles per hour in open country; in Oregon, from 30 to 35 miles per hour; in Washington, from 30 to 40 miles per hour.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 In a speech before the annual dinner of the Cleveland Freight raffle Association in Hotel Cleveland, last week Friday evening, Councilman Peter Witt said: "The vicious and criminal element operates in the "Roaring Third" precinct through the connivance of city authorities. The police department has been built up by political machination. Its methods are obsolete. Beats are patrolled as they were in the days before the telephone. There is one officer to every five privates. The department is not free. "The Roaring Third does not mean that the great majority of people in the district are vicious, but that the criminals are suffered to operate there. "Any vice or crime condition in any city can be eliminated in twenty-four hours if the authorities want to." The residents of "The Roaring Third" want to thank Councilman Peter Witt for the foregoing. It is the truth and nothing but the truth. If anything, he has been a little too tenient, especially when he says beats are patrolled as they were in the days before the telephone." As a matter of fact there is practically no patrolling of beats in that police precinct, Director Barry saying many months ago that "police patrolling beats was obesele." And remember, "The Roaring Third" now covers the territory between E. 9th and E. 105th streets and between Woodland and Cedar avenues. It is there that immoral conditions and protected infractions of law are worse than in any other part of the city. Since Councilman Tom Fleming has for years absolutely refused to say or do anything to help improve the section in which he lives, it is sincerely hoped that Councilmen-elect Gregg and George, who also live in the notorious "Third," will at least make an effort to do so. That part of the city has for nearly ten years been made an immoral and criminal "dump" by those in control of the city. A WARNING The defunct movement to turn the old and abandoned St. Luke's hospital property in Carnegie Ave. over to certain persons for a "jim crow" hospital has been revived. This time certain city officials are working thru others, some Afro-Americans. Their excuse is that additional hospital facilities are needed and their "toll," the statement that this hospital could be placed under the immediate supervision of Afro-American physicians. They know but ignore the very harmful fact that this very thing would close the doors of every other hospital in the city to our people in a local effort to force all of our patients into the "jim crow" affair. A Dr. Stanley Brown, it is said, has been sent to Washington, D. C., and other southern cities to study how the "jim crow" hospital idea is "worked out" there with a view to aiding City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins to help put a "jim crow" hospital over here and also escape opening up the city hospital school for nurses and internes to our boys and girls. If that man Hopkins keeps this thing going and continues to refuse to open up all of the city hospital facilities to our people, next April when the Davis Amendment is again to be voted on there will be only one Afro-American voter in the city with him and his city management plan of local government, and the voter will not dare to tell it too freely. Again we urge our people to cease lighting the city hospital matter in the newspapers and take it into the courts and force City Manager Hopkins to open up that public institution to our people in common with all others in this community. Meantime, will some one furnish "The Old Reliable" Gazette with a list of the names of the "Negroes" who are willing tools of Hopkins and others in this revival of the "jim crow" hospital movement?

EYEBROW VEILS AND LACE TRIMS ELABORATE MILADY'S CHAPEAU 7 EILS are in again—not ordinary veils, mind you, but cunning little excuses of veils used in an orna- DAYTIME FASHIONS EMPHASIZE SWEATER ENSEMBLE COSTUMES PUMPKIN VEILS are in again—not ordinary veils, mind you, but cunning little excuses of veils used in an ornamental way—nose veils, eyebrow veils and such they are called. They are really nothing more or less than a wisp of malines or sheer lacy mesh, dropping a mere inch or so from the front rim of the hat. They are tantalizingly flirtatious. They are distinctly feminine, these little veils. They are beloved by the woman who knows a thing or two about the fattering becomingness of the tiny nose veils. They are as favored for the little daytime hat as they are for the evening mode. So it is that the woman of fashion is adding a feminine touch to her otherwise severely simple little felt skullcap or toque, or to her tiny draped or shirred velvet chapeau, as the case may be. However, lace is not content to serve merely as a wee bit of a vell, gradually it is invigilating itself into the millinery mode as an accepted trimming feature. In fact, a great deal might be said in regard to the evolution of the brief nose vell, for even now we note that the majority of the sparkling "dine and dance" hats are flaunting a flutter of lace, the mode having its beginning in the shy ap- DAYTIME FASHION SWEATER EN IF IT is a three-piece sports or street costume, then depend upon it, one of the three pieces is almost certain to be a slip-on sweater, for sweater ensembles are "the talk of the town" this season. The smart thing about these modish sweater outfits is the fact of the sweater being so closely related to the skirt and coat or cape, if you will have it so, both in matter of coloring and design until the ensemble forms a perfect unit. For instance, many a tweed suit is accompanied by a knitted pullover, which repeats the tweed patterning of the cloth, as well as its exact colors. It makes it all the more fascinating that the colors which appear in the sweater ensemble suits are delightfully autumn-like. Some have the warmth and glow of ruddy winter reds ranging from wine tones to scarlet, these interworked with neutral tones or metallic effects. All the new browns and various beige tones show forth at their best in these swagger knitted and cloth suits. Speaking of the metallic note as introduced into sportswear, when used discreetly, it adds decided tone to the scheme. Sweaters in brown and beige and wine or dark green and especially dull rose shades which have threads of gold interworked are the "classy" thing today. While this is very much of a tweed season, as far as the cloth part of the sports ensemble is concerned, it is also very much of a kasha season. These two outstanding materials, however, do not entirely usurp the field copy of The face wh might pearance of a scant yet intriguing eyebrow curtain of lace. Sometimes the lace sparkles with a glint of gold (see first hat in this group) for as promised this is turning out to be a metallic season. Sometimes a drape of exquisitely fine black chantilly enriches a toque of fine saffl (see model below to the left). To the right at the top is a modish velvet cap with a simple nose veil to emphasize chic. Very effective black-and-white millinery is making its way from Paris to our shores. Black lace plays a lovely part in millinery of this sort (see hat center of group). A smart dotted eyebrow veil for street wear is shown last in the group. For opera and formal evening functions milliners are creating dazzling confections all of gold lace and spangles and metal cloth. Nose vells worn with the little felt hats must enter into the color scheme by either blending or contrasting the shade of the hat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, Western Newspaper Union.) S EMPHASIZE NSEMBLE COSTUMES for homespun, flannel and velvetele, especially the latter, all play important roles in the world of sports fashions. There is an interesting point about the sports costume which one of America's screen favorites, Norma Shearer, is wearing in this picture, and that is that it is collarless. This simple neckline is intentional on the part of the designer, as latest vogue calls for the collarless type so as to better accommodate a separate fur neck piece for scarfs of beige or silver or platinum or pointed fox are quite the rage with the winter cloth ensembles. The sweater accents wave stripes of warm rich tones against a beige background which accurately repeats the beige of the kasha which is employed for this skirt and coat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob. ust another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (03 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: 12.124 Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race can complain of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and any person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Mislied by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beatty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, the Beacon-Journal, of this city, in behalf of the separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last, in which a judgment for ($500) five, the dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE- PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C.
