Mr. Bert Pal SEGREGATION STILL AN ISSUE. Washington, D. C.—Report of a call upon Ogden L. Mills, Under-Secretary of the Treasury, to protest against segregation of colored clerks in the Treasury Department, is made by Neval H. Thomas, president of Lec local N. A. A. C. P. branch of theomasmith.org. Thomas had been "nitially gotten out" from ex-Gov. Frank T. White, U. S. treasurer, stating there was no segregation in his department but that in an hour and a half of plain talk, the delegation made it clear to Mr. Mills that segregation does prevail. Our delegation said to Mr. Mills: "Mr. Secretary, do you mean to say that there is no discrimination here on theomasmith.org? This vastry of 87,000 people not one directive position is held by a colored man or woman save in the 'jim-crow' division of the office of the register of the treasury?" Mr. Mills promised that he would investigate and inform our committee of the result. It is generally understood that cabinet officers are none too eager to segregate theomasmith.org, as their department as its political possibilities in the coming election are anything but pleasant for the persons responsible.

OUR ART AND POETRY Howard University Professor Lectures Here. Under auspices of the Adult Education Association, Alain Locke yesterday completed three lectures here on "The Renaissance of the Negro." The principal speech was at the Y. W. C. A., Thursday night. He spoke, yesterday at noon, at the Women's City club and in the afternoon at Public library. Mr. Locke is the author of "The New Negro," it will have been a new book edited the Harlem Issue for the Survey Magazine in March. 1926. Before his talk, last night, he told me that even at the time of the Harlem Issue, the graphic art of the Negro was a third rite imitation of the Nordic, and that they had to get a German illustrator to give them something typically Negro. But times have changed since then, and out of Kansas has come a young Negro named Aaron Douglas, who has made illustrations for "The New Negro" in the Harlem Issue "as is." This was part of the awakening of race consciousness, as I learned later from his lecture. Although Mr. Locke's vocation is professor of philosophy at Howard university, his avocation is the boosting of young Negro poets. The lecture at the library was for the class of Alonzo Grace, who is giving a series of 30 lectures on "The American Negro." Grace Y. Kelly in last lecture, Plain Deve. Prof. Locke also addressed the N. A. A. C. P. local branch at Mt. Zion Cong, church, on last week Friday evening, as announced previously in The Gazette. (The Indianapolis Bank Unit The Indianaola Bank Failure. Indianola, Miss.—Following the failure of the Delta Penny Savings Bank of this city, after 20 years of operation, the bank is forced to a new banking venture. If the effort is successful, it is planned to have the new institution take over the depositors' liabilities in the old bank along with certain of its securities. There were nearly 1,500 depositors in the Delta Penny Bank with a total of about $250,000 on deposit. The exact status of the local bank with the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis, another of the banks in the city, the ago is not yet definitely known.

How faithfully you have labored and fought, and waited and dreamed for a better day to come to our crime-ridden, race-hating, gold-grabbing Prof. Neval H. Thomas. country! As you look back upon life's long highway that you have passed, it must be a continued source of happiness to know that you have never fawned to the tyrant, succumbed to the blandishments of wealth and worldly position that are open to any Afro-American who is not a slave, or kept silent upon a single wrong that afflicts this race. Your noble monuments—a half-century of education through agitation, a civil rights law, and an anti-lynching law—are inspiring to behold. NEVAL H. THOMAS. AS TO TRADE Economic Rehabilitation of Negroes Dependent Upon Scientific Training Also. By Solomon Harper, Assoc. A. I. E. E. Not since the Civil War have the American people been more pressed for existence than now. This is evident when we look in the stores along most any street in any city such as New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Cleveland. They are need of trade. However, few of our professional leaders realize that the prosperity of the whole depends upon the employment of the masses. To secure employment there must be trade for the manufacturers and here are some of the principles upon which a manufacturer must conduct business: 1. Efficiency (only possible with efficient help) in production. 2. Good will of the buyer, and since 1919 we have boasting of our wealth (as a nation) while other countries like England, Germany, France and Japan have been developing both efficiency and goodwill thus securing the choice markets of the world. Now is the time for a committee of our leading Negroes to form units throughout the country for the express purpose of helping to secure trade through efficiency and good-will, thus, assuming more responsibility as citizens. We should have Negroes investment for the South American trade a new economic policy in the southland which will enable both poor white people and Negro groups to live agreeably. LEGAL FIGHTS Against "Jim-Crow" Schools in Indiana and New Jersey Continue. Gary, Ind.—Atty. R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis, retained as attorney by the N. A. A. C. P. to assist in the fight against the "jim-crowning" of high-school students ports that the cases, arising out of the most recent exclusion of our students from Emerson High-school, have been vened to Valparaiso, this state. These cases will be thorny contested, as Ku Klux Klan sentiment here is determined to bring about school segregation. Atlantic City, N. J.—Atty. Eugene R. Hayne, retained as attorney by the N. A. A. C. P. in the legal fight against segregated schools here, has the case listed on the court-calendar. The local branch reports an increase of members and intense activity in preparation for the contest. Mrs. Louia S. Jones, E. 101st St., entertained the Research and Hawatha clubs, recently, honoring Mrs. M. Maddoz of Chicago, sister of Dr. P. H. White, of E. 89th St. A fine program was rendered under the direction of Mrs. Dazella Underwood Wade. Mrs. Olive Laster pleased the muse of the stories. Home-made ice cream and milk were delivered by Mrs. Jones, with plenty of candies, nuts and coffee. Miss Pearl Mitchell gave an interesting talk. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MISS GRACE RICHARDSON SAYS ALL "WHITES" DO NOT THINK AS HE DOES With Prof. Alain LeRoy Locke. New York City—That all white Americans do not share the views of Lothrop Stoddard is evidenced by the challenging article by Grace Richardson in The Messenger for January. The paper entitled "What of It? is a very masterly arraignment of the prominent "Negrophobist" who recently reaffirmed his racial bias in a debate with Prof. Alain LeRoy Locke in The Forum. Says Miss Grace Richardson: "It would be well for him to realize that he outlived future for the two races principally the preservation and undefinition of the white race, will not be altogether the nicely patterned piece he has designed and that these fine hopes may be nothing but a delusion. Judging from the authoritative manner in which Mr. Stoddard speaks, it would be assumed that white America had been consulted in toto and that each member had the color-line, will not admit the Negro to social equality, will not open the door to racial amalgamation. Now I have no doubt that for those whom Mr. Stoddard is spokesman, this is exactly the essence of their attitude in the matter. But what a pity that Mr. Stoddard neglected inquiring of a few other white Americans! It is obvious that he overlooked the white parents in this country, to say nothing of those men and women who are not the parents of mulattos only by the grace of God or the use of bootlegged Margaret Sanger liter- ature. Of course, will be attributed by ber of persons who informed on the suit to surreptitious affair and white men of a liaison. True, may be accounted for. (Many have wired Editor.) But even the thing. Where is the casian repugnance race? For even in general, it is too difficult to the legitimacy which there are more cannot be easily in of these have Colored tor.) But after all, it lately honest with the public) we cannot racial amalgamation either the black or the white, although the latter matter it being a matter we merely will be merely eith, either or there will not be motion. And like principle wins we win an indication from it of success or failure principle had it been and followed. Miss Richardson's of the boldest ever the white breathes the spirit civilized point of w artist residing in The Messenger is p. York City. THE TIBBS' DIVORCE CASE settled Out of Court and "Mine Evanti" Again Sails Away From Her Son—Congratulations, Prof. Tibbs! Washington, D. C.—The marital difficulties of Roy Wilfred Tibbs, professor of piano and organ in the Howard University school of music, and Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs "Mme. Evanti," international coloratura soprano, have been settled out of court, Mrs. Tibbs, recently sailed for Europe to keep operatic engagements. The case was set for trial in the District Supreme Court but Justice Hitz was informed, that the husband and wife had reached an agreement. The terms were not made known. The suit brought by Mrs. Tibbs was for separate maintenance. Under a court order, Prof. Tibbs was paying her temporary alliance of $100 a month. It is believed that the agreement provides for the continuance of this monthly payment and that the husband and wife are to have alternate custody of their children. In age 6 Mrs. Tibbs charged her husband with abandoning her after advising her to seek the cultivation of her voice. She spent three years abroad, studying in Paris and appearing in grand opera in Nice. She returned here, each summer. When she returned in the summer of 1925 after her first trip, she found that her husband had moved from 1910 Vermont Ave., N. W., where they had been living with her mother. He was living in private quarters. In the last month, Mr. Tibbs was living at 401 T St. N. W. He requested her not to come to his home, she claimed. Mr. Tibbs filed a counter-charge of desertion against his wife. He declared that she sacrificed home and everything else for a musical career. BLOCTON, ALA., NOTES.

E COPY FIVE CENTS OMAN RICHARDSON DO NOT THINK AS HE DOES e Her Statement—Stoddard Racial Bias in a Debate ature. Of course, these mulattoes will be attributed by a large number of persons who are only half informed on the subject, if at all, to surreptitious affairs between black women and white men in the nature of a liaison. True, a good many women are in danger of harming (Many have white mothers. — Editor) But even this proves something. Where is the inherent Caucasian repugnance of the 'Negro' race? For even in illicit love there generally is attraction. And then too, the legitimate mulattoes of which there are more than a few, cannot be easily ignored. (Many of these have Colored parents. — Editor) "But after all, if we are absolutely honest with ourselves (if not the public) we cannot be sure that racial amalgamation would be to either the black or the white race, never having given it complete trial, It being a matter which never can be merely tried, either there will be or there cannot be, by real amalgamation. And likewise, whichever principle wins we will never have an indication from it of the measure of success or failure of the losing principle had it been the one chosen and followed." Richardson's answer is one of the boldest ever to come from the pen of the best woman and it breathes the spirit of the modern artist residing in Berkeley, Calif. The Messenger is published in New York City. DIVORCES JEWISH WIFE Caught Nude With a Cuban—Also Caught in a Raid on a Fashionable Apartment—She Fights Divorce. New York City.—Harlem experienced another super-thrill, last week, when the highly spiced escapes of a French woman of an Afro-American were aired in divorce court where her husband sought relief. The wife, Mrs. Dorothy Strauss Abraham, Is the daughter of a prominent New York family, while her husband, Ultiman Abraham, though bearing a Jewish name, is really a member of an Afro-American family with well known branches in New York state and Detroit. Follows Vice Raid. The divorce proceedings were the result of a raid in which the pretty young wife was caught in a fashionable apartment at No. 1 W. 129th St., several weeks ago. Among other highly flavored evidence, the husband stated that she was found nude in a room with a Cuban. It was at this raid, when Detective Robinson told her that her fashionable parents, living in W. 75th St., would have to be notified of her presence, that she went into hysterics, almost fainting, and asked that her husband be sent for. When a newspaper man, going to 6333 Scotton Ave., found him, he turned out to be none other than Abraham. Marriage Secret. Both parties had been keeping their marriage secret from their parents, it was learned. Before her marriage, the wife conducted an office as expert in beauty culture. Her frequent absence from home was explained by her parents as trips out of town on business. They had been married, two years, when the nude escapade proved too much for the husband who went into the courts for legal separation. Fought Divorce. At first Mrs. Abraham strenuously objected to divorce and separation from her husband, but when witnesses at the vice raid testified to her conduct at the 129th St. apartment and Attorneys Watt, Griggs and Flagg had a conference with the referee, a complete divorce was obtained andraged husband. After the trial Mrs. Abraham stated that she intended to give up her office and go to California. Dvorak's Quartet and Symphony. The London String Quartet, long a prime favorite here, played in Wade Park Manor ball room, Monday evening. Yet, save for its really charming adagio, the Dvorak "Negro" or "American" quartet seems to me a trivial work, an all-too-obvious bid for popularity. It is far inferior to the (great) Bohemian composer's New World symphony, which is also built in "negro" or near "negro" melodies, but much more effectively developed than the quartet. —James H.

P. leased the new theater in their building to a white man who has a chain of theaters in that city from many of which our people are barred or otherwise discriminated against? --- The Cleveland branch of the N. A. A. C. P. should stop "having public meetings" long enough to do something material for our people of this community who ought not to give that organization another dollar until it does. The organization, as it now stands and has for several years, is really a joke, a huge, tearful JOKE, and nothing else. The Gazette is still waiting to see if Atty. Charles W. White, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, dare deny that he charged Woodland Hills bathing pool mob vietnamese fifty percent of the amounts paid them by the County Commissioners of this (Cuyahoga) county, in recent months. BRUCE AND BORAH. U. S. Senator Wm. E. Borah (Repub.) of Idaho again showed his southern bias by rushing to the defense, on Monday, of southern Democratic Senators who are opposed to the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution. He wants the eighteenth amendment enforced but is apparently in favor of the nullification of the fifteenth Queer position for a Republican member of the highest law-making body in this country to assume. It amounts almost to disloyalty! In marked contrast to the Borah position is that of Senator Bruce (Dem.) of Maryland who, in the same debate, called for "more toleration particularly in regard to social views and sectarian freedom." Borah even had the effrontery to say that "a close inspection of southern voting laws showed no violation of the Constitution." A "close" or even a cursory "inspection" of election methods in the South would afford him the information he affects to be ignorant of. ENFORCE ALL AMENDMENTS! The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, at its annual meeting in this city, this week, had quite a time, Monday and Tuesday, over a resolution calling for "honest enforcement of all the amendments" to the U. S. Constitution. The trouble arose as a result of certain members of the conference, mostly southern, insisting that the resolution refer only to the eighteenth amendment and not include direct or indirect reference to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as asked by our members of the conference and others. "Unanimous" adoption of the resolution, asking for "honest enforcement of all the amendments" was finally secured late on Tuesday. Rev. W. H. Jernagin of Washington, D. C., brought the matter up for renewed discussion, Tuesday morning. He urged that "the white brethren be fair and square in the matter and go on record as being in favor of rigid enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments." Lack of such enforcement, he declared, is depriving the Afro-American of his rights. Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. Church told the body that the Afro-American is not looking for social equality, but for greater freedom and the privileges enjoyed by all other citizens. Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church said: "We must force these questions. I am inclined to believe that our not being willing to face them is an evidence of coward- THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER YOUR AMBROSE STRUCK MY MAE! I WAS SO SHOCKED I COULDN'T SPEAK! OH MRS. KLOSH... I AM SURPRISED... WHY AMBROSE IS SO MEEK! ice on the part of the white people and hypocrisy on the part of my people." Bishop George C. Clement of Zion A. M. E. Church, pleaded for the passage of the resolution, calling for "honest enforcement of all the amendments." And they won. But just why did Bishop Phillips "ring in" that old mythical "social equality" talk? He was here in the North and it was not necessary. Furthermore, he had no right to make such a statement for the very good reason that the intelligent Afro-American is looking for everything that every other American finds necessary to promote his progress. OUR "BUSINESS" FAILURES. The Gazette agrees with its contemporary when it says we must "build and develop" our own banks, insurance companies, savings and loan companies, etc., but there is a right way to do it and it is not "beginning at the top of the ladder and falling to the bottom" as has been the case far too often in the last year or two in particular. "Negroes" without any experience in business, and oft-times without any money of their own, without ever having achieved success of any kind for themselves and without proper financial backing even to begin with, are continually asking our people to "purchase stock" and put hard-earn-money in their various "business" schemes, with the usual result—FAILURE AND LOSS to all except possibly themselves. In this day and time, they can get the experience absolutely necessary to start in any of the so-called "business efforts" being projected, and they should have this, at least, before asking the use of our peoples' hard-earned money. A person, who has not been able to make himself a dollar in a legitimate business effort, is a (?) individual to ask other people to permit him to use their money in an effort to make some for them or to "build and develop" a business of any kind for this race of ours or any other. There has been entirely too much of this sort of thing without any protest from our newspapers, and others with successful experience in business and it is high time to call a halt! Also, stop codling the ignorant "Negro" and encouraging the scheming "blowbag" of color who is now in most every community in the North also, where there are a goodly number of "Negroes," mouting "race loyalty, cooperation" and kindred "catchy" words and expressions, all and "anything to get the money." It is said that Atlanta Standard Life Insurance Co. rascals all sought new and virgin fields to operate in after that company was scuttled and are now sprinkled thruout the North busily engaged in "working" our poor people in this section of the country out of their hard-earned money. URGES MOB VIOLENCE ACT Patterned After Ohio / Anti- Lynching Legion Gov- voy Last West Richmond, Va.-A law against lynching, much like Ohio's, was recommended to the General Assembly of Virginia, week before last, by Gov. Henry F. Byrd, who wrote: "I recommend that the crime of lynching be declared by law a specific state offense to be prosecuted by the Attorney-General or other prosecutors designated by the Governor, in addition to local authorities." "Also, that a county or city where the lynching occurs be required to pay $2,500 to the lawful distributes of the person lynched, and that the police must spend such sums as he deems necessary in apprehending the guilty members of the mob. It should be made clear that declaring lynching a specific state offense does not take away the constitutional rights of accused citizens for trial in the localities where the crime was committed." The Steel City Bank Failure Pittsburgh, Pa.—The only recent information, relative to the second payment to depositors, of the defunct Steel City bank which closed its doors, two years ago, is the statement that as soon as certain notes payable to the bank, are realized on, something probably will be done. These notes seem to have been made by officers of the bank either as securities for loans or to stave off failure, or as securities for the bank to have been held by Shedtrick Fields, one of the members of the board of the defunct institution.

PRIME SPORT NEWS Wilberforce's Quintet Praised. Good basketball games always suggest thoughts of some previous great game you have witnessed and certainly there are a few to compare to the exploits of the famous St. Christopher's of New York, will tell you that you that Lofers, burg would be beaten either team participating in the Thursday's play, they will tell you that the Colts of New York are the greatest that ever wore uniforms but when they start you tell 'em how Ward stopped Brookyns, Clark stopped Lillard, while Gibbs was shooting for Wilberforce. I have an idea that Wilberforce feels proud of its tennis showing in Chicago for the reason that few victories have been recorded here. I have an idea that President Jones will congratulate the boys in chapel on their return. I am certain Wilberforce will never see such a game as Chicagoans witnessed last night unless the two meet again in the door and in game conditions. But I do hope Graves will tell the student body at his school how Ward stopped Brookyns, Clark stopped Lillard, while Gibbs was shooting for Wilberforce.—Al Monroe in Chicago Whip, Jan. 14, 1928. Mose Moore Recalled. From medicine man to millionaire—that should be the title of the story of the life of Lee T. Cooper, the noted sports character whose untimely death occurred, a short time ago, at his home in Dayton. At an age when he was "sitting pretty," as we say, and in a position to enjoy his honestly earned millions, Cooper failed to rally after an operation that was not considered serious. Cooper undoubtedly was one of the most colorful and most outstanding figures that ever graced the American turf. Several stories have been told regarding his tition, his success, and his story in the thoroughbred field, but the one that I think rings the true concerns one Moses Cleveland Moore, a colored man at Dayton, powerful in politics and himself owner of a racing stable. Moore and Cooper bumped into each other one day in Dayton's only pool room, where at that time you could bet on the runners (there are of course others now), and Moore acquainted Cooper with a horse which he owned called "Clubs." Subsequently Cooper made a small fortune backing this horse. He became interested in form sheds, and in the form thoroughbred and for the first time, this was 1914, passed up the Grand Circuit and spent his summer in the Canadian circuit, playing "Clubs" and other live ones that Moore dug up—Tedd H. Kline in Sunday's News. Garvey's "Black Star Steamship Line." Washington, D. C.—Senator Robert F. Wagner (Dem.), of New York, has introduced a bill for the relief of certain seamen who are judgment creditors of the Black Star Steamship line, for back salary. This line deposited with the U. S. shipping board in 1823, the sum of $21,624.66 toward the purchase of the line, the line defaulted payments, the money was deposited with the U. S. treasurer to the credit of the Black Star line. Senator Wagner's bill would appropriate such a portion of this sum as may be necessary to pay the judgments of certain seamen. There are two wage judgments against the line. One is in favor of John O. Garrett for $5,814.78, obtained in 1925, and the other in favor of Albert A. Zink and others for $12,303.33 obtained in 1921. Marcus Garvey is to make London Eng., his headquarters, it is said. TELEPHONE GROWTH MAKES NEW SET-UP OF AREAS NECESSARY Ohio Bell Divides Territory into Two Areas, with General Manager Over Each Separation of the organization of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company into two operating units, which took place on January 1, as made necessary by the rapid expansion of the company due to the continued demand for more telephone service, according to Randolph Elide, vice president of the company in charge of its statewide operations. PETER Operations of the company in the southern and western part of the state are now in charge of F. M. Stephens, as general manager with headquarters at Columbus. His organization includes A. F. Wilson, chief engineer; F. R. Eckley, general commercial manager; W. T. Anthony, general plant manager; and Walter Malloy, general traffic manager. J. F. Carroll, Jr., is general manager of the area comprising the northern and eastern part of the state, with headquarters at Cleveland. His staff consists of G. A. Koititzky, chief engineer; E. H. Gustafson, general commercial manager; R. I. Bunyan, general plant manager; and J. A. Greene, general traffic manager. "The company's telephones in Ohio now exceed 603,000," said Mr. Elide, "40,000 of which were added in 1927. The year 1928 added in 1921. indicates continued growth. More than $17, 000,000 was exp- anded on additions and betterments during 1927 and it is predicted that 1928 will see a growth of at least 40,000 telephones and gross expenditures of $17, 500,000 to the property." indicates continued growth. More than $17,000,000 was exp. on additions and betterments during 1927 and it is predicted that 1928 will see a growth of at least 40,000 telephones and gross expenditures of $17,500,000 to the property." F. M. Stephens The offices of President E. F. Carter and Vice President Eide remain in Cleveland, where the work of the two areas is coordinated. RACE PREJUDICE "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

In a letter to The Gazette, too lengthy for publication in our current issue, Col. Sidney B. Thompson suggests that all of our candidates for State Representative, to succeed Hon. Harry E.

ARE GONE FOREV GOT SOUTH AFRICA! NOT SO BAD! GOSHA R THING- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1928. Rev. F. M. Washington and the trustee of Liberty Hill Baptist church are having a battle which is in the courts. Rev. Mack T. Williams, who headed a bolt from Antioch Baptist church after being "let out" by the church, some months ago, and his followers established Bethany Baptist church, Kinsman Rd., has left the city, it is said. Bethany is seeking a new pastor, rumor has it. About every councilman in the city has secured or is trying to secure improved street-car service for his or her constituents but the three "New" councilmen have mercy! The older Old Central car-line seems to have no one "to do it honor." O, for a real, honest-to-gooodness Afro-American councilman. The Gazette has just learned of the candidacy of Atty. Chester K. Gillespie for the Legislature and does not hesitate for a single moment to endorse his candidacy, too, because he would make an excellent legislator and represent to their entire satisfaction our people and all of the people of Cuyahoga county. Chester is a "live-wire." Three men (white), arrested by federal prohibition agents in a raid on a place known as the "Green House," 2330 E. 30th St., were arraigned, Monday, before Federal Judge Killins, on charges of violating the liquor law. The raid followed up to the because that high school students had been drinking there. The men under arrest, Grabado, Peter Consydes and Emil Kline. All except Kline pleaded not guilty when given a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Monaub. Charles Schneider, 1826 Euclid Ave., was in quest of seventeen persons, Sunday, in his attempt to promote a reunion of graduates from Outhwaite school in February, 1888. Those whose whereabouts Schneider has been unable to learn are: Adelmine Christian, *Christian*, Amie Cole, Katie Enrich, Charles Frawley, Katie Griswold, Nellie Masseure, Mildred Moss, Elsie Nicklaus, Emil Otto, Katie Pierce, Robert Rankin, Charlie Richards, Bertha Ruck, Hattie Slutz, Jennie Stewart and Lillah Webster. Last Saturday, the Caterers' Association had its Ladies Day and Reception, and the members, their wives and friends danced, Saturday night. It was a very delightful affair. The hall was beautifully decorated with ferns, cut flowers and plants. The present entertainment committee of the association expects to give other live entertainments. The committee includes Brackley, Morris Schucraft, Wm. L. Brustley, Scott Barber, and Harry Armstrong, chair. The spring dance will be given, Easter Monday night. Mrs. Barbara Benda, her two daughters, little grand-daughter and son, Mr. E. Benda, and two gentlemen friends were guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones, E. 101st St., Saturday evening, at a luncheon. The Bendas were neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Jones on the south side, 25 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur side, Roy, and Mrs Wm. Thurston, their niece Miss. Saly, Austen, and Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Fisher also guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Sunday, at a 1:30 luncheon before attending St. James A. M. E. church to hear Bishop R. C. Ransom's address. The Madam C. J. Walker medal, given each year to the person doing the best work for the race during the previous year, was given to Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school, Washington, D. C., last week, and sure was correctly placed, this time. His work in 1927 for our people against federal segregation in the departments at the nation's capital easily outclassed that at the nation's prison, where all, who properly appreciate, Mr. Thomas' splendid service, insist that he be given the Spingarn medal, too. Write the Committee of Award, at once, addressing your letter to Oswald Garrison Villard, 20 Vesey St. New York City. Four boys created a disturbance in a grocery at 2366 E. 39th St., one evening last week, ending by pushing over a showcase and walking out. Harry Friedlander, of 9101 Wade Park Ave., proprietor, got his revolver and fired into the group. Donald Gregory, 18, of 2214 E. 46th St. fell with a bullet in his back when he was struck by the police wield. He was taken to the police wield in CH hospital and charged with destruction of property. Police exonerated Friedlander.

Robert Curry, wanted in Chattanooga, Tenn., for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Griffith in a gun battle, last October, was placed in the county jail there, last week Monday night, having been apprehended by police officials in this city. The trail of the fugitive had led through many states. Griffith was killed when called to a house following a fight in which one of the participants had been badly stabbed. Curry fled from the house and came face to face with Deputy Roy Clinton, at whom he fired two shots. As Griff ran faintered and fired the house into his body and he slumped to the lawn, dying shortly afterward at a hospital. Gov. florent of Tennessee, offered a reward for the capture of Curry. Edward Chaffin, age 64, a Central Ave. street-car conductor, who has served 43 years in the employ of the family of Henry T. Everett, traction magnate, died in Pasadena, Cal. the first of the week, where Mrs. Everett now lives. Chaffin came to the attention of Mr. Everett, president of the Consolidated Cleveland Street-Car lines in the '80s, when he achieved great popularity as a conductor on the old Garden St. horse car line. Mr. Everett took him off the street car Mr. his body in the manner as posed by body-servant. When the Everetts moved to California, Chaffin went with them. His body is being returned to Cleveland for burial. A widow, son and daughter survive the deceased and have the earnest sympathy of many friends of both races in this community. Clayborne C. Jackson, age 68, E. 36th St., died, Tuesday, after one month's illness. For 31 years he was steward of the chief engineer's private car of the New York Central, which includes the old Lake Shore system, and was well known from one end of the line to the other. Jackson is a member of Chicago, is also a steward on an official's private car of the same system. Mr. Jackson was a property owner, a member of the Masonic order and the Caterers' Association. He was born at Oxford, coming to Cleveland when a young man. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Mattie Jackson, and son; a brother, Benjamin Jackson, and sister, Sarah Marah Carter of Hamilton, both residents, too, of Cleveland, years ago; a number of other relatives and friends. The body was shipped, yesterday, to Oxford for interment. The Frederick Douglass Republican club was organized, the first of the week. Officers; Lawrence O. Payne, pres; Selmo C. Glenn, vice-pres; Percy B. Jackson, sec; Harold T. Gassaway, assist; James W. Minor, treas; Ralph W. Tyler, sgt-at-arms; trustees; the above-named officers and R. N. Dillard, N. L. McGhee and N. S. Minor. A banquet in honor of Frederick Douglass, greatest Afro-American, will be given, about Feb. 15. What has become of the trucks club? Will there be a difference between two clubs? These are the questions being asked, these days. For some months it has been rumored that Payne is to replace Tom Fleming in the City Council and as "organization" leader in "The Roaring Third." Our Davis amendment supporters beat Tom in the 11th ward at the last election. So the "boss" is preparing to drop him, it is said. Common Pleas Judge Irving Carpenter, sitting here by assignment from Norwalk, took under advisement, Saturday, the motion for a new trial for Joseph Weaver, under sentence of death in the electric chair for the murder of Jasper Russo, best Sidney Hill for March. Thirty days of testimony in which Alex. Maynor exonerated Weaver of the slaying, offered before the state clementary board by Maynor, serving a life sentence for the murder, were read to the court by Atty. Nathan E. Cook, who, with Atty. Wm. Marstellar, has donated his services to Weaver. Judge Carpenter, in his decision before Feb. 6, by which time the testimony of Maynor, which has already gained Weaver a thirty-reprieve, will have been investigated. County Prosecutor Stanton will go to the penitentiary and interview Weaver and Maynor before Judge Carpenter gives his decision. Judge Carpenter of Norwalk, who presided by assignment in the local common pleas court when Joseph W. Russell, a court judge of Russell, some months ago, says he "had some apprehension since the evidence was returned, as the evidence consisted solely of one man's word against the other's." And that man, Maynor, at the time, a self-confessed participant in the crime, known to the prosecutor to be endeavoring to save his own life by "turning state's evidence." Weaver, at the time, was innocent of any participation in it. This, because all persons in court are innocent until proven guilty, then why did the case take place? A contest of guilty man's "word" against that of the innocent man? There was no other "proof." Maynor's admission of guilt to the prosecutor should have made his statement of far less importance to the jury than Weaver, the innocent man's denial of connection with the crime. In plain words it was NOT "one man's word against another's." It was only a part of a man's word against that of a whole man's word, for Weaver was innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty, and he had not the power to be convicted of a brutal crime. The phase of Weaver's case seems to have been overlooked by about every one and especially the jury, or Weaver could never have been convicted of a brutal crime of which Maynor now says in his confession he is not only innocent, but that he, Weaver, "didn't have anything to do with." This city, county or state should be made to pay and pay big for the harrowing experience Joseph Weaver has had ever since his first arrest on the false charge of murder that Russell and he, the white and Weaver and Maynor Colored have anything to do with this awful miscarriage of justice? To say the least, the verdict of the jury is open to as much criticism and Attys. Cook and Marsteller are deserving of unstinted praise for saving Weaver's life, practically at their own expense.

Safe winter driving begins with a readjustment of one's schedule to allow more time for travel between the home and office, store, shop, or plant, according to Matthew F. Morse, secretary of the Automobile Club of Missouri. "The allowance of an extra five, ten or fifteen minutes, depending upon the distance one has to travel may mean a difference much more significant than that denoted merely by the time," says Morse.

"It is impossible to tell how many accidents may be traced to the individual's failure to adjust his driving schedule to winter, when so many things conspire against ordinarily speed motor travel. It is not to be doubted that the number would be impressively large were it possible to compute. "Too fast for conditions," is an accident cause that is most outstanding in winter, even though, on the whole, cold weather driving is slower. It is well to remember that 'conditions' are radically different. Streets are slippery and the weather is cold, making handling of the car more difficult, and the temptation of pedestrians is to rush ahead, regardless of traffic. These and many other factors conspire against safety. Remedy Is More Time. "The remedy for these conditions, plainly, is to take more time. If the motorist usually allows ten minutes for his morning run to the office, why not make it fifteen for winter? No better way to spend five minutes can be devised. If this allowance is made, there will be no driving so fast that a sudden stop may mean a fatal skid. It will provide time to let the reckless driver pass. It will be adequate for more caution in congestion, permitting one to drive farther behind the next car, which will make stopping possible in case an emergency arises. "Such a readjustment of one's early morning routine is not difficult, and it will bear fruit in the form of a greater traffic safety." Warming Intake Helps Engine's Acceleration Warming the intake manifold will aid the engine's ability to pick up speed very materially, according to recent tests conducted by the bureau of standards. The same tests showed that even a considerable difference in jacket water temperature has but slight effect upon car acceleration. The tests were made on a six-cylinder 1926 engine. A change in the jacket water temperature from 212 degrees to 54 degrees appeared to make but slight difference, while a change of the temperature of the intake manifold from 150 degrees to 172 degrees resulted in marked improvement in acceleration. DETERMINE WEAR O UNDERWOOD & U.S. WARNING DETERMINE WEAR ON AUTOMOBILE TIRES UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD WASHINGTON Following a Tire Under Various Loads. Watching through clear plate glass with both the naked eye and the photographic camera, the bureau of standards is experimenting with a specially constructed apparatus to determine how and why the treads of automobile tires wear and the effect of the axle load and air pressures. The apparatus, devised to ascertain by intimate observations the varying configurations in tire treads for the information of the industry, includes a miniature car moved back and forth on a track by rack and pinion, with tire pressing against the glass plate at varying pressures and loads. The full text of a written statement on the subject follows: Apparatus by which the wear of automobile tires in service can be recorded and studied has just been completed by the bureau of standards. ly and at such a rays as long as the remnants in which treads well as from labor apparent that the v by the construction the design of the tr external conditions face, speed of ope fact that the wear influenced by the c has been emphasize adoption of the ba because of its large jects the tread to g as it comes in cont than is usual in big The bureau has b consisting of a sma be moved back and by rack and pinion. A pneumatic tire is constructed with a thick layer of rubber around its outer circumference to act as a wearing surface. This is commonly referred to as the tread of the tire as distinguished from the body of the tire, which is designed to withstand air pressure. The ideal tread, in addition to giving traction properties to the tire, should wear down uniform- Don't T But give it to Seasonable Don'ts There are several important rules to follow for the successful operation of the car in winter. Here are a few reminders: Don't forget to change oil every 500 miles, even if the car has an oil filter. Don't try to rush a snowdrift or a mudhole. Go slowly and get through. Don't close all the windows of the car. Signals are essential to motoring safety. Don't fail to refill the battery with water every two weeks and check the charge. Don't drive without chains on a slippery road, and don't drive with them on a dry road. Don't fail to check the antifreeze solution regularly, if a volatile substance is being used. Don't get close to the car ahead when traveling fast on a slippery road. It takes more room in winter. Don't twist the steering wheel suddenly when ice and snow are on the road. Front-wheel skids are the most dangerous. Don't use the choke excessively or run on too rich a carburetor mixture. Never leave the choke out when the engine is warm. Automobiles Now in Use in the United States A recent survey of the number of automobiles now in use shows the remarkable ratio of one motor car to every five persons in the United States. Canada and Hawaii come next with one to every eleven persons while India is last with only one to over three thousand people. American makes totaling 95 per cent of the 27,500,267 cars registered have Underwood & Underwood Irving H.

From an observation of the manner in which treads wear in service as well as from laboratory tests, it is apparent that the wear is influenced by the construction of the tire and the design of the tread as well as by external conditions such as road surface, speed of operation, etc. The fact that the wear of a tire tread is influenced by the design of the tire has been emphasized by the general adoption of the balloon tire, which because of its large contact area subjects the tread to greater distortions as it comes in contact with the road than is usual in high-pressure tires. The bureau has built an apparatus consisting of a small car, which may be moved back and forth on a track by rack and pinion. The body of the car consists of a sheet of clear plate glass. A tire under a definite load and air pressure may be pressed against this glass plate and observed through the glass. By running the car along the track while the tire is pressed against it the distortions of the tread corresponding to the action in service can be seen and photographed. throw Awat a Friend or THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1928. SEGREGATION (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there before. The beginning of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled 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. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, restricting white residents and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and it was brought to its embracing extent by Republicans. There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican leader, and entitled to be colored all appear after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, the superintendent of the 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 vote, and to understand declarations of democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome" name in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where interior white can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold lunches from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes 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 when they are not diligent 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, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and regregation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magistrate court, and the postmaster is maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant dance by even though "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 clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are the most difficult to assimilation 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 white 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 form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent officers to the office and 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. ROUGH TWEED AND BASKET CLOTH HIGHLIGHTED FOR SPRING COATS WEEKEND'S BESTSELLER DOLLS OF GAY FELT FURNISH INSPIRATION FOR CHILDREN'S STYLES JOHN W. WOOD OF WHAT material, color, fur or no fur, straightline or flare? This quartette of questions once settled and the buying of a spring coat becomes a very simple matter. As to the first query on the list, for travel, motor, sports and general utility wear, new mode places emphasis on loosely woven weaves, especially basket cloth and tweeds which are not of the smooth-faced types. Navy blue receives sweeping indorsement. Aside from black, navy, also marine, the movement is toward light shades, beige, biscuit tans, grete tones and particular stress is given to gray. In regard to the furred coat versus the furless there is a decided difference of opinion among stylists. Certain it is, however, that the coat sans fur is making a prominent place for itself in the mode. More especially since it is introducing distinctive details which bespeak a new movement, such as for instance, cape effects, also scarf collars which bring the streamers through finished slots cut in the cloth of the coat. Many of the very recent types exhibited by couriers are exploiting velvet ribbon DOLLS OF GAY FEL INSPIRATION FOR HOW often do we hear it said of this or that cunning tot, "She looks just like a doll." According to fashion's program for this season, youngsters will be dressed to look more like dolls than ever. It is a fact, certain new styles have developed, the inspiration for which originated with a dollmaker. It happened this wise—a certain famous Italian designer began his career by making dolls—both themselves and their clothing—entirely of felt. Their success was instantaneous. Nothing in recent years in the way of dolls has created more of a sensation but these felt masterpieces. The amusing part is that these dolls are dressed as smartly as if they had stepped out of the pages of the latest fashion magazine. They wear chic coats or capes with hats to match or perhaps ensemble costumes which are carried out perfectly, even to the slightest detail, in color combinations and artful design such as felt felt of gay hues can make possible. Now comes the climax to this interiting dell episode. This same Italian genus, inspired by the success of its enterprise, is this season designing clothes for children typical of those worn by his famous character dolls. The picture shows a tiny Parlentine clad in a cunning all-felt frock created py of The re wh might sushes through the openings. Regardless of the allurements of the furless coat, fur trimmings, not lavish, but smartly effective, appear on many of the spring models in direct competition to the unfurred. A noted coat stylist solves the problem cleverly by designing cloth types with detachable fur collars. If the fur trimmings be as handsome as that of the beige astrakhan which appears on the collar and at the pockets of the brown and tan check travel coat shown in the picture to the left there will be no possibility of a desire to "detach" it. Astrakhan is increasing in favor at every move of the mode. Note that the hand bag which milady carries is made of the selfsame material as the coat itself. And now what about the flare versus straightline? Both are presented in the illustration, for fashion shows no partiality. Loose-woven basket cloth is the medium for the chic coat to the right and it combines plain with plaid, the solid color forming the flare. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) T FURNISH CHILDREN'S STYLES by the well-known Italian designer of quaint dolls. This little tots' doll wears a dress made of the same material as that of her wet mistress. It seems that it is part of the plan to complement these felt costumes for children with matching dolls. Some sets include hats with school bags to match. Interest at this moment, is especially focused on coats of felt in fascinating blues, roses, tans, mauve, green and other likable tones. These are enlivened with appliques, stitching and insets in multi-colored effects, hat, tam or bonnet to match accompanies each coat. Specialty shops also displaying organdie frocks. American design, stressing the ensemble idea with felt trimmed matched to the accompanying coat and hats. Among the most attractive felt coats sports reaching American shores is tan felt coat which has cut felt fittings appliqued on the front panel. That hat is related to the coat in that is of identical felt, inset with contrasting color. All sorts of fantastic designs and colorings feature in these unique forgarments. For instance a most attractive coat of a grayish light green has rows of "pinked" felt stitches down to form a multi-colored bord on all edges. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)

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: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable allike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finet 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 shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and son 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 Beaty 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. M Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I want to send you, under a separate cover, a letter to theporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leoonard B. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred 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 THE UNDER RE-PROACH, nor our own, and in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
