Oil Wells on a Quarter Section of Oklahoma Land Said to Be His—Has Gone to See for Himself. Mayfield, Ky.—For 20 years Tom Johnson, said to be half Indian and half Afro-American, has lived on a small farm in this county. He has just learned that he is worth millions of dollars—somewhere between $10,-000,000 and $200,000,000. Tom is dazed—not overconfident. He received a telephone message from Ben C. Axley, (white), an attorney of Tulsa, Okla., the other day, telling him that he was a millionaire. He took that news quietly and waited for a reply, lived here and identified Johnson positively as owner of a quarter section of Oklahoma land which is just wallowing in the best grade of oil. According to Atty. Axley, Johnson was born at Beggs, Okla., 54 years ago, the son of a Creek Indian and Afro-American mother. However, she may have been another member of the Afro-American team as in Afro-American land. When land was allotted to the Creeks in what was then Indian territory, Johnson was given a quarter section. The attorney says now that quarter section is being developed by several big corporations and is rich petroleum-producing land. Johnson came to this country about a score of years ago and established himself on a little farm near the city of old jobs, but became particularly expert as a plasterer and was kept fairly busy. He lives with his wife and one grown son. He will go to Oklahoma at once. $10,000,000 Patent Suit. Washington, D.

BLACK CATHOLIC SAINT Native African, St. Maurice or Oganine Hangs in stores at McLaren stores at McLaren New York City.—In the galaxy of Catholic Saints, none stand out with more splendor of sacrifice and devotion than St. Maurice of Agaunam whose picture now hangs in the old Pinakothek museum at Munich, a description of which is made by J. A. Rogers in the current "Messenger" magazine. St. Maurice was one of the leading generals of the Roman Empire, and rose in revolt in Gaul, he was sent with his Thevian legion of 6000 men to help Rome decimate this rising threat against her prowess. When St. Maurice learned that he was to attack Christians he refused to obey and his legion joined him in the revolt. Furious with anger Maximian ordered the usual punishment of having them killed, he ordered every tenth man to march was given. Not a man moved and lining them up again the tenth one was again struck down. Eventually all 6000 were killed and in the carriage Maurice became one of the most revered Christian martyrs. His picture, done by the famous artist, Matthias Grunewald, presents a halo of red and yellow skin typical African, in resplendent armor, a jeweled sword hanging by his side, a jeweled crown around his neck and a golden crown on his head. WARNING CROSS BURNED!

Tuesday night, but he refused. Kellem let it be understood that the warnings would not interfere with the marriage, Tuesday, and Kellem, the wife of Klux Klan "gesture gone to waste." FEBRUARY 11, 1928. A $500 JUDGMENT. Given Attorney Chester K. Killesple As a Result of His "Cohen" Case Under Our Ohio Civil Dear Sir and Friend:—You will be pleased to know that on Jan. 24, '28, Chief Justice Homer G. Powell of our Common Pleas Court Atty. Chester K. Gillespie. awarded me a judgment for two hundred dollars against Mrs. Frances D. Cohen, owner of the Delicate restaurant located at 45 Public Square, this city, for refusal to serve me on Sept. 2, 1926. You may recall that during the month of September, 1926, one Isaore B. Cohen (the husband of Frances) who was at that time manager of her restaurant, was caused to be arrested by me for the same refusal, and Judge Thomas E. Green of Criminal Court fined him fifty dollars and costs. In other words, I had the person who actually refused to serve me arrested and then sued the restaurant, allowed to be arrested against the owner of the restaurant, which of course is permissible under the law. I concern myself a great deal with these cases because I feel it my duty to make an example of some of these idiots who persist in deliberately violating your Ohio Civil Rights law. If we people, who are supposed to know the procedure in such cases, do not take adequate action, we can hardly expect others of our people to make any effort to have their civil rights respected. Yours very truly, (Atty.) Chester K. Gillespie. OUR "MONUMENTS." Washington, D. C, Jan. 24, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

Thomas. faithfully you have labored and fought, and waited and dreamed for a better day to come to our crime-ridden, race-hating, gold-grabbing country! As you look back upon life's long highway, that you have passed, you have a sense 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 willing to betray his people, or kept silent upon a single wrong that afflicts this race. Your noble monuments—a half-century of education through agitation, civil rights law, and anti-antifascist law—are inspiring to behold. NEVAL THOMAS Orangeburg, S. C., Jan. 24, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry;—I wish to join with hosts of your admirers who will offer their congratulations on your birthday, January twenty- eighth. Your life has been an ad- mirable one, consistently devoted to the service of our country and people. The Gazette is a monument to SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THAT STARTED UNDER PRESIDENT THOMAS WOODROW WILSON'S ADMINISTRATION. Mrs. La Follette's Splendid Activity and Persistence—How Our Girls Are Insulted and Humiliated in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at the Nation's Capital. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for the segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted, for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as a great Negro colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! couraged, she came out, one storm afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A. urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Owald Garrison Villard came to tow to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checks what was thought to be the intent of the segregators, namely the elimination of the colored employee from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which son of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic parish is still there, in all of its fullness under the administration of the parish that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Surner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employe there in far larger numbers than any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in the rest rooms, toilets, and work stations, and of course, I ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girl from our best homes, most of the Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemanding platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our speech, and the national gathering of the N. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly dis Stay of Execution and an Additional Court Battle Seen in Befield of the Condemned Man. A final effort to obtain a new trial for Joseph Weaver, scheduled to die in the electric chair, Saturday, was being planned, late Monday, by Weaver's attorneys, who expect to take the case to supreme court. Nathan E. Cook and Wm. Martellter, Weaver's attorneys, are to file a motion for a new trial before Common Pleas Judge Carpenter. The judge has indicated that he will rule against the motion on grounds that it should have been made in the same term of court during which Weaver was convicted on Maynor's testimony. Following actual refusal of the motion, Cook and Marsteller will take the case to the higher courts for a decision on the ruling against the motion. It is expected that a stay in execution will be granted by Gov. Donahue while the case is taken to supreme court. Whatever the outcome of the legal procedure, it is believed that Weaver's death sentence will ultimately be commuted to life, and the judge will be pardoned to guilt. He should be pardoned by the Governor. At a conference between Judge Carpenter, James C. Connell, first assistant county prosecutor, and Weaver's attorneys, Monday, Connell charged that Chaplain T. C. Reed of the Ohio penitentiary had used "unfair tactics" in obtaining a confession from Alex Maynor clearing Weaver of any connection with the slaying of Jasper Russell, night watchman. This charge is ridiculous. Maynor, arrested with Weaver, who given life for his participation in the murder, now waits for Weaver's nothing more to do with the crime. Gov. Donahue has received reports from Warden Preston E. Thomas and Chaplain Reed of the state penitentiary, in regard to their connection with the confession of Alex Maynor, exonerating Weaver. your unconquerable spirit, fortitude, sacrifice and determination. As one who had the privilege of early training on its staff; first as an agent, and later as office-clerk and reporter, I cherish from year to year the opportunity thus given and the experience thereby gained of learning in life. In way that, he helped me considerably in the onward struggle through life. Our best wishes for the continuance of your useful life and success of the Gazette are extended with the hope and sincere desire that you may enjoy many pleasant returns of this happy occasion. Very sincerely your friend, (Bill) WILKINSON, (President, State Agricultural & Mechanical College, Orangeburg S. C.)

War Department, in the area six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the democratic party is still under control, and under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls with a sense of pride in training with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order deferred, all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. THOMAS RE-ELECTED Because He "Delivers"—Prof. Geo. W. Cook's Efforts to Resign Futile—Other Officers Re-Elected. Washington, D. C.—The local N. A. A. C. P. branch has elected Prof. Neval H. Thomas, pres.; Archibald S. Pinkett, sec.; Garnet C. Wilkinson, treas.; Mrs. Marie M. Marshall and A. George Parker to the executive committee; Miss Gretta McRae and John C. Bruce to vacancies caused by the death of Ella M. Lynch and the (suggested) resignation of L. M. Hershaw. Miss McRae, a stenographer in the General Land Office, was introduced at the recent annual meeting as the "Joan of Arc" of government service. The united protest of 36 out of 42 clerks in the Pension Office and 10 out of 21 in the General Land office, made possible the successful fight against segregation in those bureaus. It was reported. Effort of Prof. George W. Cook of Howard university to resign from the executive board was met with an outburst of applause, speeches by Garnet C. Wilkinson, Secretary Pinkett and Edward Arnold and an unanimous vote holding him in office. ROLAND HAYES IN MOSCOW. The Tenor Soloist's Remarkable Success in Russia, Italy and Holland on His Present European Tour. Boston, Mass. — Roland Hayes, the tenor solist, according to telegraph communication from Moscow, has made a profound impression on his first audience of Russian workers and peasants. In Moscow, where he sang at the invitation of the Russian Government, the classical part of his program was received with great enthusiasm, and our session is rarely if ever known in the concert halls of Moscow. Italy, Holland and Russia first heard Hayes' remarkable singing, this season. After four tours of America, he is devoting the present concert season to a tour of Europe, to which he owes so large a part of his early recognition. He is now in France and Germany and will sing in various eastern European cities, this spring. Next autumn, he will return to America to make his fifth tour of this country. Son Succeeds Dad. Atlanta, Ga.—At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Atlanta Life Insurance Co. here, recently, Norris Herndon, former vice president and cashier of the company, was elected president-treasurer to succeed his father, the late A. F. Herndon, founder. The admitted assets of the company are over $1,000,000 with $2,000,000 worth of insurance in force, giving emplment to 750 people with 200,000 policyholders in eight states.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1928. When the "show-down" comes in April the people of this country will find out that U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis is Ohio's candidate for the Republican nomination for president. Atty. Edgar P. Benjamin of Boston, who arrived in the city, Sunday, to visit his daughter, the wife of Dr Wm. L. Joyner, E. 85th St., returned East, yesterday. Some months ago Mr. Benjamin, one of our most succesful professional men, gave a fine old New England estate (after thor renovation), worth between fifty and sixty thousand dollars, to the old folk of that city, without regard to race or religion, for a home. This is broad, generous and outstanding philanthropy such as has never before characterized the giving of any one of our group and that of few of any other. Richard P. Strong, (white), of Harvard Medical School, just back from an extensive tour of Liberia, says there is slavery in that little African republic because the soldiers of the constabulary of the country "force whole districts of men and women to work long hours without pay and even to furnish their own food." This "sounds!" We don't believe it! Strange that no one else has ever made such a charge, and there have been many Americans, even Ohloans, in Liberia in the last year. Then, too, Liberia was first populated by former slaves of this country. HEFLIN WRONG, AS USUAL. In the Congress, one day recently Tom Heflin, the member from Alabama who is such a bitter anti-Catholic and just as opposed to the Afro-American's exercising all his rights and privileges under the law, said: "Colored people in South Carolina, he said, who desire equal rights and equal accommodations in traveling, have no desire to hold office and have no desire to associate with white people. They do not want social equality." Of course he is not telling the truth and knows it even if he does affect not to. The Colored people of South Carolina want all the rights and privileges that are granted every other group of Americans, whether they say so or not. And furthermore they object to white men exercising the "social equality," with some of their women, they do all over the South. A "TIGER" FLOWERS ECHO. When "Tiger" Flowers died, some months ago, his manager, Walk Miller (white), was appointed administrator of his estate which included a big mortgage on his "show place" home in Atlanta and a $600,000 trust fund "Tiger" had established for his young daughter. Mrs. Flowers, who has been struggling ever since "Tiger's" death to depose Walk, has finally succeeded in doing so. Now what she has to fear most are some of those "blowbag" so-called "Negro business men" of Atlanta, the kind that helped to wreck the Standard Life Insurance Co. and its "Holding Co." and would not hesitate a moment to "clean" Mrs. Flowers of what little she has left outside of the daughter's trust fund. HELP COL. YOUNG'S FAMILY. Mrs. Ada M. Young, widow of Col. Charles Young, who gave his life to the service of his country, receives the meager pension of fifty dollars a month for the support of herself and two small children. This from the boasted wealthiest country in the world! It is more than an insult; it is positive injury to both Mrs. Young and her two small children, especially when it is known that families (no larger than her's) of deceased army officers of the same THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER MY NAME IS LUIS FIRPO- I'M A BUSINESS MAN, ALL RIGHT- THE THOUGHT OF ALL THAT DOUGH I MADE JUST FILLS ME WITH DELIGHT! rank are receiving from one to three hundred dollars more per month than Mrs. Young receives. Write to your congressman and the U. S. Senators from your state and tell them what you think of such shameful treatment of so worthy a family. Do this, at once, and let us get Mrs. Young and her children a decided increase in pension just as soon as possible. WHOA! MR. ALEXANDER The lack of fear of the law on the part of those who form mobs was given as the chief cause of lynching by Will W. Alexander, secretary of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Alexander is making entirely too broad and indefinite a statement. Georgia has no anti-lynching law! Therefore apparently does not know that the deterrent influence on the great mass of citizens of any county in a state that has an effective mob violence or anti-lynching law, such as our Ohio law, keeps down, to the MINMUM, mob action. This has proven true in this state ever since the enactment of the law in 1896, and this same is true in other states that have anti-lynching laws, based on the same principle—holding the county liable in $5,000 damages to the near relatives of the person lynched. HAITI STRUCK, AGAIN! Two black Haitian jurists, Mons. Bellegarde and Hundicourt, among the best known and ablest legal lights in the Carribean section, were barred from the Pan-American Congress, in session at Havana, Criba, on the insistence of the United States government, the press of this country announced, last week. This is not only because of their color, but also because this government feared their exposition of its vicious and unconstitutional marine "control" of that little republic. If Mons. Bellegarde and Hundicourt were to gain entrance to the Congress the truth would be told and that is something our government does not dare to face just at this time. The South American countries know of the deplorable conditions existing in Haiti and will know more soon, just the same. They can never have confidence in this country as long as it persists in its inexcusable and unwarranted interference in the affairs of Haiti and any South American country. A dozen or more "Lindbergh" visits will not change this in the slightest, either. We are still waiting for Atty. Charles W. White, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, to make reply to the charge in Mr. Emmett Meade's letter, published in The Gazette, several weeks ago, that he charged Woodland Hills Bathing pool mob-victims (his clients) of color FIETY PER-CENT of the amounts paid them by local county commissioners in settlement of their cases! If the charge is true, the local branch and the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in New York city, should insist upon his resignation at once. Come, Charley, our people of this community want to hear from you; they want to know if that is the kind of service the N. A. A. C. P. renders for all the money they have been putting into that organization since its advent into Cleveland. Everybody Is Leaving the Virgin Islands Principally Because of It. Blockton, Ala. — Branding the "government of the Virgin Islands by the Navy Department as unsatisfactory," Judge Lucien Malmin, paying his respects to ten years of U. S. mis-rule in that domain, says the population has dropped from 25,000 to 18,000. People are leaving on every boat at the rate of from 60 to 100 and the island will soon be depopulated. Judge Malmin blames prohibition for part of the Island's economic decline.

THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1928. KEEP INFORMED ON DRIVING LAW KEEP INFORMED ON DRIVING LAW Many Motorists Do Not Know Traffic Regulations of Their City. Thousands of motorists in all parts of the country are missing an opportunity to improve their driving in the important matters of safety, freedom from annoyance, and freedom from clashes with the courts by their failure to know the traffic regulations of their own cities and states, according to the American Automobile association. Cause of Ignorance. This ignorance of the regulations, in a majority of cases, is traceable to two causes, the American Automobile association statement says. These are: 1. A hit-or-miss method of keeping up with changes made in the traffic code instead of making it a practice to get a copy of the new regulations each time important changes are made. 2. Indifference to the precise rulings based upon an assumption that one can get along well enough without them. Conditions Change Regulations. "In virtually every city in the country," declares the American Automobile association, "regulations are being adapted constantly to new conditions. These changes are carried prominently in the newspapers because their importance is so great. At certain periods, however, they become so numerous and are issued so rapidly that keeping up with them becomes a task that the individual decides to defer until a later date. The result is that when hundreds of motorists in a given locality adopt this attitude, a certain group of drivers stick to the old regulations while still another adopts the new. Then there is confusion with all its attendant evils." The remedy, as seen by the national motoring organization, is for the individual to take it upon himself to keep pace with every reprinting of the traffic code and study it thoroughly. Many Miles of Pavement Added to Road Syste Highway engineers state that over 6,000 miles of concrete pavement were added to the United States road system during 1927. A study made for the first ten months of 1927 shows that awards were given for 6,500 miles of this type of pavement. This figure sets a record for the period. During the same months of 1926, the awards totaled 5,700 miles. Engineers believe that the total awards for 1927 will be for 7,000 miles. At the close of 1926 there were 43,333 miles of concrete highways in the United States. At the end of last year, the figure probably exceeded the 49,000 mark and may reach 50,000. Practically all the concrete roads in the United States have been built within the last 20 years. In 1909 there were slightly more than three miles of this type of highway pavement in the entire country. With the increase in automobile travel, however, the mileage has increased, so that today there are concrete roads in every state of the Union. Excellent Way Is Found After making any radical changes in the king pins, steering rod or steering tie-rod it is a good plan to use old tires in the front wheels for at least a few days of driving. There is a possibility that the wheel alignment may have been thrown out by reason of these radical changes. Rather than risk wearing down the tread of the regular tires it is best to observe conditions on old ones. Most motorists who reach the point where such work is necessary have at least two old tires or spares which they can use for this purpose. Atty. John D. Wilkerson, president of Diamond Business college, 4608 Central Ave., has gone to St. Louis, to teach business, law and commercial subjects in Summer High school, and expects to return to Cleveland in June. The local college will continue under the supervision of Mrs. Alice E. Wilkerson, with Atty. A. L. Turmer, the head of legal studies. Mr. Wilkerson plans to establish a branch of his college in St. Louis and to broaden the scope of his local institution. of Clever Check Scheme Good checks may be bad checks, says the National Automobile Dealers association, in reporting a new swine docket which came to light in Los Angeles, where a dealer's Justifiable suspicious cost him $20,000 in a damage suit. According to a bulletin of the N. A. D. A., a man recently purchased a $3,000 automobile in Los Angeles paid for it with a check on a New York bank, drove the car around town an hour or so, then drove to a used-car business and offered to sell the car for $1,000. The dealer bought the car after testing it out and finding that it was all right, and communicated with the original dealer, who immediately had the purchaser arrested on the theory that the original check for $3,000 was worthless.

The N. A. D. A. is broadcasting information on the ground that another attempt at the fraud may be perpetrated. Garage doors, because they are large and heavy, often give trouble. They sag and stick and the pounding required to open them loosens up the hinges and aggravates the trouble. Fig. 3 shows a simple way to brace the door so that there will be less tendency to sag. Metal bars with a cross section measuring 1/4 to 1 inch are bolted to each door as shown Aside from stiffening the whole door these bars transfer the weight to the point best able to bear it, the lower hinge. If the metal bars are not easily obtainable, nearly as good results can be got with boards.—Popular Science Monthly. Some pedestrians who do not choose to run get their names in the papers, too. It is a keen-eyed driver who can see at night pedestrians in his path just beyond a car approaching with blinding headlights. For every 100 new cars sold in this country 92.6 used cars are sold. Of every 100 of these news cars, 65.4 were sold on the deferred plan. A satisfactory substitute for plantation rubber, Guayule rubber, produced from a shrub grown in Mexico and California, has been tested by the bureau of standards. The art impulse is sadly hindered by automobile restrictions. There is not a license plate in the country that can be seriously commended for composition or color scheme. Man was arrested in Southampton, England, for carrying a motor horn and tooting it as he walked across the street. Pedestrians must play the game fair and accept their natural handicaps. Winter is the happiest season of the year for the motorist. Even if he misses the pedestrian, he has the satisfaction of seeing a fair portion of muddy slush spatter over his light gray trouser leg. Joseph Weaver, under death stay till Feb. 20, Wednesday asked the state supreme court to grant and was immediately given a rehearing on his plea for a reversal of the common pleas court verdict sentencing him to die for the murder of Jasper Russell, last March. County Prosecutor Stanton has recommended to Gov. Donahay the commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment, because the electrocution of Weaver now would shake the public's faith in capital punishment. The supreme court fixed Feb. 16 as the hearing date on Weaver's motion. Master This on Your Mitts.

Mrs. Bailey, wife of Dr. E. A. Bailey, 9505 Cedar Ave., royally entertained, last Saturday, the Wisteria club and about 60 lady friends at a delicious luncheon and bridge. There were 12 tables of players. Miss Willa Shook winning the first club prize; Miss Ida Grey, the second; Miss Dorothy Myers winning the first guest prize and Mrs. C. K. Gillespie, the second. All agreed that Mrs. Bailey is an exceptionally fine hostess. Lieut. Jay W. Clifford of Washington, D. C., was in the city a few days, last week and the first of this, visiting his uncle, Mr. John Clifford, one of our oldest and most highly esteemed and other well-relatives. His father, the Hon. Wm. Clifford, former member of the Ohio Legislature from this city, who has been quite ill for many months at his home in the nation's capital, does not improve. Under the caption, "Rises Despite Difficulties," "The Midwestern Review" of Chicago, a magazine devoted to the business interests of the middle west, has the following article in its January issue concerning Mr. David Manson, a Cleveland boy": "From elevator boy to traffic cooperator is the result of Metal Co. is the result of David Manson, a prominent local business man who came to Chicago from Cleveland, 35 years ago." In Walter L. Fleming's new book, "The Freedman's Saving's Bank," published by the University of North Carolina Press, reference is made to that dismal failure, a matter of history, with the explanation that "the bank got into the hands of its working officials ("Negroes"), some inexperienced, some simple." Also, "it (the bank) suffered from poor business management, from neglect of duties by the more honest and capable trustees, from dishonesty and incompetency in its branches and finally and fundamentally from the careless and corrupt use of its funds by the 'ring' of trustees, the trustees and officials." The foregoing lists most fully our many business failures in the last few years. Dishonesty, incompetence, etc., tells the story, The City Council, Monday night, adopted a new street car schedule to give additional service on the Lorain line, west of W. 117th St. An attempt will be made to establish a ten-minute schedule in the base table, instead of the twelve-minute schedule. A NEW councilman, Dr F. W. Walz, fought in the street railway committee and on the floor of the Council for an eight-minute schedule. When Councilman Fielder Sanders objected to the Walz resolution, Dr. Walz tore to amend it to specify from eight to twelve-minute service. Meantime, our councilmen, Fleming (as usual), Gregg and George, sit quietly in the office, their constituents get the worst service in the city on the Central Ave. line. Lord, have mercy! Joseph Weaver was convicted of murder and sentenced to the electric chair on the testimony of Alex Maynor who had admitted his participation in the crime and was seeking to save his own life by "turning state's evidence." Later Maynor confessed that he lied when he gave the testimony that convicted Weaver, also saying under oath that "Weaver had nothing to do with it." County Prosecutor Stanton issued a statement intended to Gov. A. V. Donahey the commutation of Weaver's sentence to life imprisonment as a result of Maynor's confession, adding that Weaver's attorneys had filed their motion for a new trial for him too late. Why a commutation of sentence, instead of pardon, Mr. Stanton? Weaver should never have been convicted on the testimony of a self-confessed murderer. Weaver, innocent until proven guilty, should never have been convicted on any such testimony. Also, he should not be jailed for any time, for any time, in the face of Maynor's confession, but should be freed and at once! We believe that Gov. A. V. Donahey will see the matter in this light and pardon Weaver, at once, all that can be done now to return him his liberty. MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H. S., 9 E.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D.C. — There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there has ever been since then. Much 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 our country ever under tried, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers in the work, 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 a form of oppression by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on our Republican president. Some months ago, a colored girl appeared for her 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 father of the other favorite and leader of the segregationist and the superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid decoration on the mourning card 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. He knew the "cause" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. They have maintained a spacious cafeteria for only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it 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 men. The more they reflect all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and regimentation. The club is maintained by ALL of the people. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the club, because of the 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 social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general to oblige the war to be ordered the clerks 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 often passed over though their examination was superior. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling. The colored clerks have tended to form a union which meets regularly and often sends frankly and intelligent appeals to the postmaster, and often presents from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of our employees are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative benefits of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but a few tables are set out-of-the-way section designed for our employees. They glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior, pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee. He was also dismissed after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. He was then unimpatient and our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist for the names of informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it.

Eliminate Alcohol Odors by Use of Rubber Tubing The odor of alcohol, when used as an anti-freeze solution in the winter, is more or less objectionable, especially in a closed car or in a touring car when the curtains are used. The odor is caused by the escape of vapor from the overflow pipe of the radiator. To eliminate this odor from the car, get a length of rubber tubing large enough to fit the lower end of the radiator overflow pipe and fasten it to the latter. Let the tubing extend under the front side member of the frame and for about six inches CLAMP HOSE Length of Rubber Tubing, Attached to Overflow Pipe, Disposes of Alcohol Odors. above the bottom edge of the frame side member, where it should be fastened to the front-fender support bracket with tape or a small clamp, as shown in the drawing.

It was found that of 409 accidents involving trucks during the first half of 1927, no fewer than 181 were the fault of pedestrians or of the drivers of other types of vehicles. The figures obtained in the survey were compiled from the official records in the office of Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel of the Connecticut department of motor vehicles. Accidents for which trucks were to blame were analyzed and remedies for them suggested, and are being distributed to operators of truck fleets in all parts of the country.

Necessities Overnight on Average Automobile It seems but yesterday when motor-dom was discussing air cleaners, gasoline filters and the many other refinements developed within recent seasons. It is proof of the progressiveness of the American public that in the specifications of a majority of American cars today the shopper will find engines equipped with air cleaner, oil filter, crankcase ventilation, thermostatic heat control, gasoline filter and some form of vibration dampener. The last-mentioned feature may take the form of a balancer, a dampener or tandem fywheels. These features have become necessities even while the public was trying to judge their merits. ******* ************************************************************ Tide, taxes and automobiles wait for no man. * * * * An optimist is the man who buys a second-hand car on the installment plan.

TIMELY SUGGESTION FOR THOSE WHO ARE LETTING THE BOB GROW COPYRIGHT THE battle of the "bob" is waging fast and furious. Opinion is divided. Some say short hair must go. Others declare "never again" long tresses for them. cue of those discarding the bob. Rumor has it that curly heads are about to take the center of the stage. The illustration presents several charming new "curl" effects, each forecasting the return of lovely feminine coiffures. These curls may be bought or acquired by patient and "watchful waiting" for their growth. A very girlish hairdress is shown at the lower right. It was acquired in this way: After the hair had been induced to reach a certain length at the sides, it was pinned back, with a view of concealing the short clipped portion, in order that the latter be given a chance to grow. The straggling ends were then rolled up off the nape of the neck and caught with a jeweled comb made for the purpose. A very stunning arrangement for straight hair which has reached to beyond shoulder length is to comb it to one side and arrange in a "biscuit" as pictured before the mirror in this illustration.

Even the mo "bobbists" are entering a protest against stereotyped effects. Women are demanding a more distinctive individuality for the bob. Exit the boyish bob, enter curls and swirls—thus are hairdressers giving answer to a clientele who are asking "something different." This by no means sounds the knell of the bob, but it does bespeak a reaction against all bobbed heads looking alike. So much for the bob! But what of those who are letting their hair grow? It is a vexatious, trying experience, this matter of retaining one's beauty while the bob grows. Experience teaches that the best way to start the process is to coax the hair to grow as long as possible at the front and sides. Curl the ends of these longer locks and pin them back over the shingled portion.

The newest thing for sports frocks and ensembles is the use of silk with wool and this plays right into the scheme of design as exploited by the mode. Sometimes the combination includes crepe satin with superfine jersey cloth. Then again the crepe satin is used with that which is the last word in the realm of fabrics—transparent woolen weaves.

The two, blouse and skirt, are brought into relation in that the blouse is beautifully patterned with insets of the satin or with applique motifs, the latter worked out either in modernistic design or, as is often the case, in complicated florals delineating many-petaled flowers with their leaves and foliage. To observe the extreme niceties of the mode, hats, preferably felts, worn with these costumes should be "a perfect match." The handsome dress of beige broad cloth, together with velvet, in the picture, typifies the vogue for intricate applique treatments as forecast for spring and summer.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161.3.) The term "serious injury;" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161.3.) Section 6230. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made; or, if the person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood, in manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars.

Such sum so recovely shall not be a part of the estate of such person to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter be commended, with two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the person represented for or killed or seriously injured by a mob from any persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought into the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob (93 v. 633.11). very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. 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: BS. d. representative of victim of lynching. ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. last member of mob last another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 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: The General Code of Ohio: The Code of Wiley, the proprietor of 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, and services furnished 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. 1294. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecuted 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. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akronacon 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. LANG, the Gazzetta, Cleveland, M. Mr. Dean Sir, Quoting your letter in the Beacon-Journal of this city, I venture to send you, under a 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 B.

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-ORIHON nor our courts and juries.
