This Is the Tenor of Nearly All "Wooden Cats" Composed to the Lead, Daily Press Editor, Cleveland Daily News: I am one who believes in the law, because I believe that means justice and is destined to protect the rights of all citizens. If any person is proven to be a violator he should be punished. But also I believe that the proof should be beyond a reasonable doubt. I attended the trial of Joseph Wearl, the accused slayer of Jasper Ricketts, to do all of witnesses both for and against Weaver, and there was no evidence produced to prove that Weaver killed Russell. Weaver was convicted solely upon the testimony of Alex Maynor, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, instead of the electric chair, for the same crime, because he "turned state's evidence," they thought. There were two street car conductors who appeared as state witnesses. One of them testified that on Sunday night, March 13, 1927, Jasper Ricketts was sentenced to life imprisonment on his car at 9:05 at the Public Square and got off the car at W.110th St. or Berea Rd. and Madison Ave. at 9:32. He had never seen them before but he was able to go to the police station the third day after the crime was committed and pick them out of a line. The other conductor said, on the same night on one of his trips to the Public Square he picked up the same fellows at 10:30 at W.105th St. and Madison Ave. A man from the Western Union Telegraph Co. whose duty it is to investigate the case a nightwatchman fails to ring said that at 10:30 Sunday night, March 13, Jasper Russell made his last ring. Attys. Cook and Hosteller are not fighting for Weaver because they are interested in him personally, but because they know he is innocent. Our county prosecutor, Mr. Stanton knows that this man is innocent. If Weaver is guilty he should be ask Gov. Donahay to commute the sentence of a cold-blooded murderer from the electric chair to life imprisonment? Is Weaver due that consideration? Mr. Santon gave for a reason that the citizens would feel, if Weaver is electrocuted that an innocent person does. Does the law mean justice? HENRY H. STRONG, 1848 Crawford Rd. BAN OUR DELEGATES. Democrats Fear Southern Opposition If They Want From Harlem New York City — Fearing an Afro-American delegate from New York to the Democratic national convention might harm the chances of Gov. Alfred E. Smith in the South, Tammany has decided against the 1924 policy of Afro-American delegation if it is said, was made on advice of southern leaders friendly to the New York governor. Democrats generally were not favorable to the idea, as they had been working for our heavy vote in Harlem in the past few years. The Republican party here has been an Afro-American delegate from the 21st Assembly district, and also an alternate. Jim Crow Hospital Opposed. Boston, Mass.—Declaring that present hospital facilities are adequate and that the proposed "jim crow" Plymouth Hospital would introduce segregation, the local branch of the NationalEqual Rights League went on record against it at its recent meeting. SOUTH DOESN'T "KNOW NEGRO" Editor Douglass Gordon ("White"), Confesses in Making a Harmon Award. Its Eyes, Ears and Mind Closed He Declares and He is Sure Right — A Remarkable Talk for a Native "White" Southerner. JIMMY WALKER SOBER Mayor "Jimmy" Walker of New York City, sober and on the "water wagon," according to his own admission, made an address at the formal opening of Harlem's newest theater, "The Princess," which presented "Meek Moses," a week ago. Said the mayor, "New York is a city where men are measured by their achievements and not by their color." In Paris and Rome, last summer, Mayor Jimmy objected to colored folk and white dancing together in cabarets. Can it be that the Mayor of the world's greatest city is willing to embrace the world and home and pick it up abroad, or wasn't he sober when he visited those foreign cabarets?" -Baltimore Afro-American. ANOTHER ONE ELECTED. New York City.—Rev. Wm. B. Crittenden has just been elected general secretary of the field department of the National Council of the Episcopal Church. He is our second representative elected within months as a member of the general staff of the Council. The other is Wallace A. Battle, field secretary of the American Church Institute for our people. Dr. Crittenden will also work among our people. Would Be British Subjects. London, Eng.—J. Turner Layton and Tandy Johnstone, vaudille team from New York city, have applied for British citizenship. A five-year residence is obligatory. These two young men left America and been the rage in London ever since, drawing high salaries at their regular engagements in addition to being featured at private homes of the nobility and wealthy at private receptions. English laws forbid Americans accepting foreign forms of marriage, a formality which can be done by Englishmen. America should reciprocate. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DID NOT PERMIT IT! SEGREGATION CONDITIONS ROTTEN IN THE U. S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT. About Everything of the Kind in Other Departments Found There—Clerks' Fear in the Register's Bureau—The President's Power. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system that managed the Civil War, Ohio's major financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas appoints a promoted servant, he has since legislated and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there are among the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for other areas. The few are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are "JO" BAKER MARRIED TO COUNT New York City—Mrs. Hallel A. Smith, wife of a Los Angeles physician, on her return, recently, from a nine months tour of Europe, says in Paris she met Roland Hayes, Johnnie Hudgins, Josephine Baker and Ada Parmon, a philanthropist, she says, goes big with the Parisians, Josephine, she reports, is really married to a Count who is a cultured gentleman, although not wealthy. She says he has wrought a marvelous change in Josephine, who was inclined to be wild before she met the Count and his mother, and dined with the mother, who impressed her as a charming and gracious lady. "SOLVENT" BANK FAILURE Punishes Most Our Churches and Lodges—"Theft, Overdrafts and Missing Collateral." Memphis, Tenn.—The shortage of the Solvent and Fraternal Bank & Trust Company is $511,084, according to reports filed by state bank executives here recently. The report shows that loss of the assets of the institution was due to business and personal failures, and set forth evidences of embezzlement, theft, overdrafts and missing collateral. Fraternal organizations and churches are among the biggest losers, the report indicates. Pass Anti-Lynching Bill. Richmond, Va.—The "Old Dominion's State Senate, last week Thursday, passed by a vote of 32 to 9, the anti-lynching bill recommended by Gov. Byrd. Under the bill it is made a state offense to be prosecuted by the attorney general and others designated by the governor in addition to local authorities. The governor is also in city where the lynching occurs be required to pay $2,500 to the lawful distributes of the person lynched and that the governor be authorized to spend such sums of money as are necessary in apprehending those guilty of lynching. It is patterned after Ohio's famous pioneer mob violence act, or anti-lynching law. Twenty Pallbearers Needed.

The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and sosemble of affection and enjoyment at minimum. The theater of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now open to all people of all races. Old people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being with them is a challenge. This southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so. PRIME SPORT NEWS Elks Defeat Indians Forging to the front after being held to a 14 to 14 tie at the half-time, the Elks chalked up their 14th victory of the season. Monday, by downing the Seneca Indians of New York, 32 to 27, at Elks hall. After they had taken a convincing lead in final period, the Indians started shooting with 11 angles but their spurt died with their gun. Hen Harris staged a scoring duel with Schindler, former Haskell cagener now with the Senecas, Harris scoring fourteen points and Schindler ten. The Indian cagers are from Seneca, N. Y., and are composed of former Haskell and Carlyle College basketball players. With a string of eleighteen wins, including victories over several New York teams, the Indians were confident of winning another victory but were, of course, disappointed. The Elks have dropped only one set to out of thirteen played on their home floor, this season. Steinke "Loses His Head." New York City.—After tussling for forty-seven minutes with Regina-aldi Skii at the St. Nicholas Arena here, last week Monday night, Hans Steinke, German grappler, picked up his opponent and hurled him over the ropes, badly injuring the Abyshian. Steinke, who just previous to the match, had lost a suitcase containing his wrestling togs, was in trouble, and coupled with his inability to throw Skii was more than he could stand. --- Godfrey a "Distinguished Prisoner." Godfrey a "Distinguished Prisoner." Los Angeles, Calif.—Geo. Godfrey, who has been training since his arrival here, at Soper's ranch, has moved his training quarters to the Maln street gymnasium, where he is in earnest preparation for his bout with Paulino Uczudun, Feb. 28. Godfrey stopped Sam Baker, movie actor-pugilist, in two rounds, and sent Ols Curry to the hospital for an X-ray of his collar bone since his arrival on the coast. When he attempted to park his car in a prohibited zone on Broadway, Officer Shrey started to give him a ticket, but on learning who his distinguished prisoner was, tore up the ticket and excused Godfrey with a slight warning. When it was found that Godfrey had Soper's ranch for his training quarters, Jack Dempsey offered Uczudun his Manhattan gymnasium as his training headquarters. It is estimated that of the 40,000 people that will attend the fight, 15,000 will be Spaniards with an equal number of Godfrey boosters on hand.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1928. Atty. Perry B. Jackson is another local Afro-American candidate for a Republican nomination for the Legislature, this fall, "The Old Reliable" Gazette does not hesitate to commend strongly to our readers because he is thoroly capable, a "home boy" (Cleveland), and would make an excellent representative in that august body. Councilman Tom Fleming and Secretary of the Department of Public Safety Charles Smith, one of our veteran members of the police force of the city, left, last week, for a brief sojourn at Hot Springs, Ark. Tom was for Willis, a few weeks ago, but "switched to" Hoover just before leaving the city. --- "Attucks Day," or "Citizenship Foundation Day," is Monday, March 5th, or its eve, Sunday, March 4th, in honor of Crispus Attucks, a member of the race, first martyr of the founding of the United States. Our organizations everywhere should fittly recognize "Attucks Day" by a public demonstration of some kind. Rev. Dr. Wm. Blanchard (white) of this city, spoke at St. James' literary forum, Sunday afternoon, on conditions in Turkey. Among the things he said was that this country was spending money to reform the Turks in order that they will grant equal rights to all residents of that country. When the doctor was asked, by a representative of The Gazette, if the U. S. of America would grant all of its citizens equal rights in this country, his answer was that he did not know. That is the position and concern of too many of our "white friends," we regret to say. NO, IT WILL NOT DOWN Last Saturday, the question of this country's unwarranted intervention in the affairs of South Atlantic and South American countries threatened to disrupt the Pan-American conference when brought up at a plenary conference session, at Havana, Cuba, where the P.-A. conference has been in session now for some weeks. Just when the U. S. delegates, headed by former Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court Charles Evans Hughes, had flattered themselves into feeling that they had successfully side-tracked a discussion of the all-important matter with the assistance of Col. Charles A. Lindberg's recent "Spirit of St. Louis" visit to Havana, and were on the eve of a "love-feast," the new chief Argentine delegate "threw a monkeywrench" in the plenary conference session "machinery" by arising and suddenly bringing up the intervention question. He reaffirmed Argentina's unalterable opposition to the right of any nation to intervene in the affairs of another. The love feast spirit dissipated instantly. Haitian, Santo Domingan, and Colombian delegates arose at once and in turn supported the Argentine view. There was no doubt that the discussion was aimed directly at the U. S. Central American policy because of the banable effects of its "American Control" in Haiti and Santo Domingo and its disgraceful intervention in Nicaragua. The discussion was a revival of a heated debate that occurred early in the conference. The U. S. delegates had been congratulating themselves, all day Saturday, that the session was to end. Monday, without further intervention discussion but were very properly given a rude awakeaking. In the minds of every Latin delegate to the conference, the question of the right of the United States to intervene in the domestic affairs and politics of minor American republics was naturally from the very beginning more important than anything else. The result is that the skeleton which this country's delegates tried in every possible way to keep THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER "hidden in the closet" popped out. It has apparently been put back again at the beseaching of Mr. Hughes, but everyone now knows all about it. And this is just about as bad as if it were being daily told to all the world. So some good was accomplished, along this line, anyhow. JACKSON AND COLBERT Gov. Ed. Jackson, who was the Ku Klux Klan's candidate when that vicious organization had Indiana "by the throat," and in court in recent weeks on a criminal charge—concealment of an alleged attempt to bribe former Gov. Warren T. McCray in 1923—preferred by Klansmen, or their sympathizers, with whom he had "fallen out," as one of his first acts when the case ended in his favor, last week, was to "grasp the hand of Samuel Colbert, Afro-American laborer and a member of the jury." In the "heyday" of his Klan activity, Ed. Jackson would not have dared to do that, even if he had wanted to, because the Kluxes would have "excommunicated" him. But, Klan things had changed materially in Indiana, since his campaign for election, with the result that last week Juryman Colbert in the light of Jackson's court victory looked like "ready money" to him. How time does change things as well as persons! "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL Girls attending an East End public school were recently given tickets to the new Woodland Hills bathhouse and bathing pool, except in the cases of our girl-students of the same school with the exception of one, who is "light" enough to "pass." They were given tickets to the Central Ave. bath-house and pool (in "The Roaring Third" police precinct), the "light" one only being sent to the Woodland Hills bathhouse and pool because she was that to be "white." One of our girl-students of the school is said to be a daughter of City Detective Arthur McFarland. It is said she asked the teacher, why the discrimination? This incident aptly illustrates what would be the condition in case a "jim-crow" hospital was established in this city. Whenever our people who needed hospital service and treatment, were taken to any other than the "jim-crow" hospital they would be sent to the latter whether they desired to go there or not, and new segregation established here in Cleveland where there is already too much now. It seems strange, to say the least, that any of our people, especially those who have come here from the South (in the last ten years) where they are segregated "almost to death," would want any more of it. And this applies, particularly, to the "Negro" doctors and others who continue to "gum-shoe" for a "jim-crow" hospital. They would harm all of our people in this community almost beyond repair to attain their selfish desires. Lord, have mercy! "STROP YOUR BLADES THE BES TIZ WAY. ENJOY SHAVING COMFORT EVERY DAY."

That Wonderful Sound Considering the number of times one eats, it is remarkable the amount of excitement the recurring of the dinner bell makes.—Atchison Globe. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1928. INATTENTION IS ACCIDENT CAUSE Distraction of Driver Leads to Most Crashes, Says Official. Inattention and generally poor judgment are cited as outstanding causes of motor vehicle accidents by E. Austin Baughman, Maryland motor vehicle commissioner. "Aside from the more deliberate of fences of omission or commission in involving recklessness and criminality inattention, lack of judgment, timidity and inability to judge distance are contributing causes to the vast majority of accidents," says Mr. Baughman. Basic Reason. "The basic reason for each accident always is to be found in the failure of some one to react properly to a given set of circumstances. In other words, the mind is misled, and because of some mental error unexpected conditions arise which further mislead until an extreme is reached and an accident occurs. "In statistics of motor vehicle accidents inattention is most predominant as a cause. According to reliable statistics, it accounts for nearly half of the accidents and, as a heading for accident causes, literally 'covers a multitude of sins'. It is rarely criminal and almost everyone is guilty of it to some degree. The more common consequences of inattention are found when something other than the act being performed claims the operator's mental activity. Inattention and distraction of attention are, so far as motor vehicle accident terms go, about the same thing. Keen Eyes on Road. "While driving, attention to any extraneous object is particularly dangerous. It is dangerous to look for any length of time at any object other than traffic conditions and the high way. Trying to read signs or any similar mental activity should be taoo while driving. If the sign or other object of interest is of sufficient importance to require the driver's action the car should be turned to the side and stopped. "The distressing part of this type of driving is found in the fact that consequences of a careless act do not always fall upon the person guilty of the inattention." Inflation of Balloon Tires Quite Important One of the most important items in the care of tires is the matter of proper inflation. Balloon tires especially must carry the right amount of air in them or they will break down quickly. Their walls are thinner and the loss of a few pounds of the slight inflation they do get will cause the walls to buckle and break under the weight of the car. If the tires are underinflated, also, constant flexing of the walls under the heavy strain causes undue heat to be generated. That separates the plies of the fabric and opens it to quicker breakage. The obvious preventive is to keep the tires properly inflated, checking up on them every week. Sub-Square Garages Are With the number of English motorists increasing at the rate of 2,000 a week, the parking question has become serious. In this connection the suggestion of garages under some of the London squares has been revived. It has been decided to place before the royal commission on London squares a proposal for the building of garages under certain squares. According to this idea the squares externally are to retain all their press features except insofar as re construction would be necessary to provide ramps or inclines for cars entering and leaving the underground garage. Food From the Clouds Airplanes that fly above the Alps now supply astronomers at the Mont Blanco observatory with food. This they accomplish by dropping parachutes loaded with provisions, which are picked up as soon as they reach the earth. Food that was formerly hauled up the steep slopes of the mountains to isolated tourist huts in the Alps is also being distributed in this way. Muzzle This on Your Mudguard. Small Portable Crane Is Garage Convenience Is Garage Convenience The crane shown in the accompanying drawing has a wide range of travel and is capable of transferring heavy units from the bench to the machines and to the several cars being repaired. It uses the same track as employed to support the hanging doors at the front of the garage. The provision of such a track around the four walls is the main support for the crane. A double hanger with swivel rollers allows the crane to travel along, the continuous runway. The corners are traversed on a curved track, similar to the track on which Crane Handy in Garage. the door is supported when swung from the front to the side. A cross rail extends from these hangers and rests on a vertical support of pipe, provided with a fixed roller at the bottom. The hoist is carried by a trolley on the cross rail, which permits placing the hoist directly above the load. While every advantage of a crane is provided, the single leg, reaching to the floor, does not encoach on the available floor space, as is usually the case with four-legged portable cranes—Popular Mechanics Magazine Women Better Drivers Women are better drivers than men." The women of San Francisco have the word of Capt. Henry Gleeson chief of the traffic squad, as authority for this statement. Women civic and club leaders of San Francisco who gathered in the offices of the 'california Development association to discuss plans for assisting in pedestrian control when it is finally put into effect under the regulations of the new traffic ordinance, also heard from Captain Gleeson why the made of the species does not come up to the driving standard of the women. "The so-called superminded man is inclined to be absent-minded while driving," said Captain Gleeson. "His thoughts are on so many things far away from the matter at hand. "I made the statement years ago that women were better drivers than men, and the records compiled in my office since have not caused me to change my mind."

Those, who attended by radio, Monday night at 9:30, another General Motors' family party, were privileged to hear Harry T. Burleigh, our N. Y. city baritone soloist and composer, and other artists, in a southern "jubilee" of spirituals and orchestral selections. Principal soloist of St. George's Episcopal church, for four years, has studied, compiled and arranged our native music, spirituals, etc. Perhaps the best known of his works, "Deep River," was of course programmed for Monday night. Having different mother tongues does not hamper the members of the Inter-racial Trio of the Schauffler Missionary Training school, 5115 Fowler Ave., from singing together in English and in working in perfect accord with a soloist who speaks another language. The three members of the Brahman, a Czechoslovakian; Dorothy M. Scott, an Afro-American, and Bessie Wong, a Chinese-American, whose full Chinese name is Wong King Hueng. They are assisted in their work by Stoyanka Nicholoff, a Bulgarian. The four young women will sing at the evening service at Broadway Methodist Episcopal church, Methodist and an following Tuesday all singing at the coming service at Bethlehem Cong, church, Broadway and Fowler Ave. The trio also takes active interest in athletics and other endeavors. What do you think of this: Tom Fleming, a member of the City Council for 16 years; one of his sons, Lawrence, works for the county commissioner; his other son, Russell, is custodian of the Women's police bureau on Cedar Ave.; his brother-in-law, Wallace Hamile, is a foreman in the street-cleaning department; his sister's son, Robert Scott, is a laborer and his brother-in-law's brother, Fred Hamilton, is a laborer in the street department; his sister's son, Robert Scott, is a teacher in the public schools and has charge of a playground in the summer. Still Tom wants to be a candidate for delegate (district or at-large) and his wife wants to be our candidate for the Legislature, this fall. Read carefully and think! We are still waiting for Atty, Charles W. White, president of the local N. A. A. C.

If the charge is true, the local branch and the N. A. A. C. P., headquarters in New York city, should insist that Chamley resignation from Come Home company, our organization of this community want to hear from you; they want to know if that is the kind of service the N.

Telephone Personalities In telephone exchange buildings where dial equipment has been installed, the number of telephone operators has been reduced, but in their places have come a group of highly trained men who must maintain this highly complicated machinery which makes telephone connections. Dial equipment consists of thousands of relays (or electro-magnets), automatic switches and other apparatus operated by delicate electrical impulses. Because of these thousands of parts, an adequate force of switchmen is necessary to keep them perfect condition. The switchman is assisted by automatic devices which immediately call attention to any part which fails to operate correctly. A bell rings, or a colored light shows, to indicate the location of the trouble, and the fault is detected and corrected before it has had time to impair telephone service. We must learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. Subscr The Telephone as an In From the Perrysburg (Ohio) Journal "Earnings that are less than adequate must result in telephone service that is something less than the best possible. Earnings in excess of these requirements must either be spen for the enlargement and improvement of the service provided or be enlarged for the service must be reduced. This is fundamental in the policy of the management." In addressing the 1927 convention of the National Association of Railroad and Utility Commissioners at Dallas, Texas, W. S. Grifford, resident of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, made such a definite statement as to the general policy which the Bell System proposes to follow, that no one could misunderstand him. Mr. Grifford's statement is in line with the progressive public utility policy that is being adopted generally by leading executives in the field of public service. Mr. Gifford made it clear that the telephone company would strive to improve conditions in those sections where earnings are not sufficient, and he pointed out that the business in these sections will be carried by earnings in other sections. It will be the endeavor of every part of the Bell System to earn enough to be able to give the best possible service and provide telephone facilities to meet the growth of the company in good times beyond that beyond that incentive for profit; up to that point it must earn, in order to furnish telephone service on the American basis to the American people and pay investors a fair and reasonable return on their money. The public is coming to realize that statements made by such men as Mr. Gifford, committing their companies to a definite program of service, mean just what they say. For the telephone company, Mr. Gifford said: "The only sound policy . . . is to continue to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. . . . There is not only no incentive, but it would be contrary to sound policy for the management to earn speculative or large profits. OH BOY-- IF I COULD ONLY TASTE SOME REAL OLD-FASHIONED PIE!!

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to) Washington, D.C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings 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, of our parks President Wilson never troubled by 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 the white people 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 white institution one, as rumored 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 the papers, is tenacious to our own people. President Some nephew go a colored girl appeared 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 Coolidge. North Carolina has halls from North Carolina to the home of the favorite and leader of the segregation forces, 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 a loss to the nation and why he does not splendid declarations on 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 choices he has found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. In the postface, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored men under constant humiliation and physical managements. The department maintains, spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks 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, 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, when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and renders 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 segregation, and coming for the office of the postoffice. 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 white employees, the early arrivals, to colored, to 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 the day before was to come off, and the postmaster invited the colored as well. 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 of man. The colored clerks have done form, union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals to his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them or nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. — The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there a few tables in our room, a section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, our 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职位 positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a spandex dress and his work, felt the injustice of his exchance to the employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee. He was arrested 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. Defectives 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 or which he was immediately discharged. Our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who lares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Dooley) 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 of my request for consideration of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of death to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Armstrong, he was 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 up- on 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 leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette, 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 undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our national gathering, and national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked behind him, the fight against the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, 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. THE ARE MEGADEGATED their restraint to toilet in working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hopeless. The face of an order destroying this institution is all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. A $500 JUDGMENT. Given Attorney Chester K. Killespie As a Result of His "Cohen" Case Under Our Ohio Civil Rights Law. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Cleveland, O., Jan. 25, '28. 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 awarded me a judgment for five hundred dollars against Mrs. Frances D. Cohen, owner of the Delicate Square located at 45 Public Square this for refusal to serve me on Sept. 2, 1926. You may recall that during the month of September, 1926, one Isadore 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, the person who actually refused to be arrested and sued and secured judgment, already referred to herein, 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 *Idots* who persist in violating your Ohio Civil Rights law. We 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. OPERATOR HEROINE IN $100,000 BLAZE OPERATOR HEROINE IN $100,000 BLAZE Credit for saving the town of Wakeman, O., from destruction is given by the residents to 17-year-old Maxine Benson, operator at the telephone switchboard. The fire destroyed two entire business blocks in the Huron county town, causing a loss of $100,000, and would have spread farther had not fire apparatus from other towns, summoned by Miss Benson, arrived in time. When the fire was discovered, Miss Benson sounded the siren that summoned the local firemen. Then she called the Norwalk fire department, and was ringing Oberlin when firemen carried her from the switchboard. A few minutes later, the telephone exchange was in ashes. Attention! Readers!

Fashionists are making it very positive, this season, that the wardrobe of the smart women will be sadly incomplete without it includes a trim tailleur. Fact is, seeing that we are surrounded by such a bewilderment of elaborate softly feminine silks, chiffons and novelty ensembles, as the mode is now exploiting, the need for a handsome tailored suit becomes the more imperative. The models this season carry several important style messages. Perhaps the most outstanding is that of ascending a normal waistline through slightly molded-to-the-figure side seams in the jacket. This tendency is emphasized in the suit to the left in the picture. Wrap-around skirts are in fashion and they are not so short as last year. Satin pipiess too, are PARIS-INSPIRED FE BRIMMED AN THE persistent little felt that has served notice of its intention to "keep on keeping on" in fashion's parade. A view of the daily arriving Paris collections of millinery styles emphasizes not only the continued importance of felt in the mode, but also the fact that felts with brims are "in" again. So there we have it—felts which place emphasis on widened-brimmed versions of the cloque, also brims accenting novelty effects as well as unusual draped toques and hoods. First in favor with the smart Parisienne for immediate wear comes black, with a galaxy of ravishing pastel tints following in its wake. It is encouraging, too, to note that the new hats are utterly becoming, which cannot always be said of hats "we have seen" in the not far distant past. The three brimmed types in the illustration all stress beconingness. The honey-beige felt clooche with its striking feather adornment is distinctly Parisian. Modistes in the French capital are showing a disposition to use feathers, not only as side trims such as this, but particularly in the way of novel flat effects, worked into oy of The ce who might noted on the latest tailleurs. As to single button or more, it is a matter of choice, although the former is somewhat in the lead. Black, dark oxford and navy for the formal tailored jacket and skirt, with tweeds and novelty woolens of every description for sports types. Classed in the latter genre are fetching models of striped tweed. The strips run vertically in the skirt in contrast to the jacket. Favored also are suits which are styled with more feminine lines and details. A very choice exponent of this type is shown in the illustration to the right. It chooses kasha cloth in the much advocated oatmeal color. It is plaited from head to foot in a way which does not destroy a slim silhouette. The neckline is cleverly finished with a wide binding which finishes in tabs at each side, making it adjustable to snug fitting. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1923 Western Newsman Union.) ALTS INCLUDE AND BRIMLESS TYPES the very construction of the hats In the smart felt hat to the left below in this group, Alphonsine gives a thoroughly new interpretation of that which is tres chic the brim brought high to one side, dropping low to the other. The feather ornament is typical of the trend to novelties. Plaits in the brim achieve distinction for the youthful felt cloche shown in the circle. With the Parisienne black felt remains supreme for the between-seasons hat. A favorite model of a draped teque is pictured at the top to the right. The other toque is in the new dull pink which the mode highlights for spring. It also displays an intricate handling of felt, which is so characteric of the new styling. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

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 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 "junching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. 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 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, 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. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A 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 by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, share and share alike, the widow receiving the next of kin according to the ratio of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject 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 mob at 6283 16 2. (Section 6284.

Section 6237. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and agrees against the person responsible for a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the 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 from such county for safekeeping, 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 or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 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: OBS. read. a representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. MOBS. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for such lynching or 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 1994: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to the public accommodation or color, the public enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be 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. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon 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, i. Venture to on-Journal, of this city, I venture to on-Journal, of this separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last 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, it would have been no occasion for criticism of the Law OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE- PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. OUR MOB VIOLENCE ACT Nets Seven of Our People, in the Woodland Hills Bathing Pool Riot in the Summer of 1927, Over $3,000.
