WHAT HE REALLY DID AND DID NOT DO IN THE "Jim Crow" School Fight at Springfield, Ohio, Several Years Ago—Our People Must Not Vote for Him and Cooper. Springfield, O., Sept. 29, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith: I have this day received a copy of your editorial of Sept. 29, in which you state that I have been unfriendly to the colored people in reference to the school case, etc. I feel sure that you must have been misinformed in this matter, as there was absolutely nothing in connection with that case or any other case, that could justify any such conclusion. The case was heard before me and an injunction promptly granted on preliminary basis. No countenance was given by me to the then superintendent of schools in his attempt at segregation. There was no "flirting" with any one. The case was clear cut and the prayer of the petitioners was promptly granted after the preliminary hearing. The case aroused great interest among our citizens and it's quite possible that some one may have made statements that, if true, could be the basis of such an editorial as you have written and such statements may have reached you. I am quite sure you do not want to be unjust to any person or to take a position not justified by them. The colored people of the city have always been in their support to them, in their support to them, in their support to them, with the utmost consideration. When I first took office twenty-five years ago, I appointed a colored Deputy in the Probate Court, Sula Butler, who is still there and a very fine Deputy. The colored people of this city know that my record does not justify the position you have taken, but of course your citizens and the readers of your paper, do not know the facts. I would be pleased to have you make a thorough investigation here. I was course, quite surprised at the editorial as I had regarded you and your people as friendly to me. Mr. Flemming of your city has always been an earnest supporter of mine and knows my record and you might consult him. I would be pleased to hear from you and I am sure you will give the matter thorough consideration. I would be glad to furnish you facts concerning both this case and other matters if you care to have them. The three letters below this one are self-explanatory and are in answer to the following communication: Cleveland, O. Oct. 2, '28 Dear Friend:—Judge Frank W. Geiger of your city writes us, taking exception to our editorial note of his candidacy, in a recent issue, which you have doubled. He says that he has always treated our city with the utmost consideration and that our people of Springfield know that his record does not justify the position against his candidacy The Gazette has taken, and asks me to make a thoro investigation. This I am trying to do. In the memorable Fulton school case in your city, some years ago, he claims to have "granted the prayer" of the petitioners prompt after the preliminary hearing. My memory is that this that the petition was carried into effect, thus delaying the outcome of the fight for weeks and until he was defeated for re-election and his successor, Judge Krapp, took office and "made good" on the petition he, Judge Geiger, had granted but refused to carry into effect. My memory is that this information came from you in conversations we held at different times in your city. What about it? Is Judge Geiger entitled to the support of our people of your city and the state, or isn't he? If not, why not? Observe with an immediate reply, please. Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. Springfield, O., Oct. 3, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—In my file of The Gazette, of the period of the Fulton school fight, I find that its issues of Sept. 30, Nov. 4 and Dec. 2, 1922, and Jan. 6, 1923, contain the record of Judge Gelger's activities in connection with the legal phases of the fight and the interpretations we put upon them. The application for an injunction petitioned among other things that "all transfers (of pupils in or out) heretofore made be declared null and void." On Oct. 30, a temporary injunction was granted by Com- mon Pleas Court Judge Frank W. Geiger which, as stated from the bench and reported in the daily papers, restrained Supt. McCord and the Board of Education from any "further transfer of children in or out of the Fulton school." At a meeting of the managers of our C. R. P. League, on the evening on which this decision was handed down, Atty Geo. W. Daniels pointed out that the decision did not mean any things there were no transcripts attempted and already been told that the chief demand that those "already made be declared null and void" was not mentioned. There being no formal record of the decision, as it had not FRANK GEIGER yet been entered in the records of the court, a committee visited Judge Geilger at his home and got a statement from him that the injunction granted "all petitioned for." When the attorneys for the C. R. P. League and the School Board met to agree on the form of entry of the case, Mr. M. Ray Weiket, representing the Board Education and that decision was understood it, was the same as that reprinted in the daily papers as being announced from the bench Notwithstanding, Judge Geilger ordered that the entry be made as including "all petitioned for." This was on the eve of the election in which Judge Geilger was a candidate and against whom a decided opposition was forming. From this time on to the end of the year, when his opponent attempted to have a hearing for a final injunction aloft, as stated by the attorneys for the League, a request that he do so was made every Monday morning. Subsequently, to a committee of ministers who visited him to see why nothing had been done in the case, he is reported to have told them that there was nothing before him and that they should see the lawyers of the League, and further that the temporary injunction only restrained the order from the Fulton school. This in brief is Judge Geilger's record in the Fulton school case as taken from the accounts written at the time. When Judge Geiger occupied the bench in the Juvenile Court, he took occasion to denounce real estate dealers who would rent the two sides of a double house to white and colored people, respectively. Also in a civil rights case, in which he did not sit, yet by other acts he showed his disapproval of a verdict favorable to the plaintiffs. I have asked Atty. Geo. W. Daniels to write you in regard to this case as he represented the plaintiffs. There are other matters of which he knows that do not inspire any hope for Colored people whose cases, involving their rights, have to be decided by Judge Geiger. Springfield, O, Oct. 6, '28. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend Harry: I am in receipt of your letter of Oct. 2, '28, concerning the candidacy of Judge Frank W. Geiger of this city. I wish to say that, if my memory serves me right, your impression is correct that Judge Frank W. Geiger did "grant the prayer" in the famous Fulton school case in the days before the national election, and he refused to put the same into effect during his term of office. I know that Judge Frank Knapp executed Judge Geiger's decision im- mediately after he took office on the first of January, and I believe it was during the first week that he closed the Fulton school. I do not know just what Judge Geiger's idea was for handling the matter in that way, but I do know that it appeared to me that for weeks that he side-stepping the issue until after his election. And I also know that because of the fact that Judge Geiger did not execute his ruling, he lost out in the election to Judge Krapp by a very small margin. Had he done what Judge Krapp did, he would have been elected by a substantial majority of citizens simply refused to vote, and there were enough votes in my precinct alone of those who did not vote to have elected Judge Geiger. These are the facts in the case, and in my best judgment. With these facts I believe you will be able to arrive at a decision as to just how you want to proceed. Personally, I had always been an admirer of Judge Geiger until that time, and I would have least ever lose the election on that account, but to no avail. Atty. Sully Jaymes called on him at his residence, the night before the election, and pled with him to close the Fulton school on election morning, and assured him that if he would do this, his election was assured. My recollection is that he lost by only 12 votes, least a few hundred and you can readily see how easy it would have been to put him over at that time if the Colored people had felt so disposed. I was very pleased indeed to receive a letter from you, and have been wondering why I never hear from you. With my best wishes, I remain, Yours very truly, Chas. L. Johnson, Pres. Charles Funeral Supply Co. (President, C. R. P. League, 1922 and 1923.) Springfield, O., Oct. 8, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Friend Harry:—Now as regards Judge Geiger. Your statement of the case is substantially correct, and can be verified by the court records here. I conferred with Chas. Johnson about this matter, last Saturday. Geiger did overrule the murder in the Geiger schoolboard, which in effect was saying that our petition, from a legal viewpoint, was correctly brought. But it was impossible for us to get Judge Geiger to set the case down for hearing so we could get a final decision on its merits and close the school. During all of this time McCord, in contention of the Geiger decision, was allowing to run the school as a "jim-crow" school. We were insisting that he (Geiger) enjoy the operation of the school, pending a final hearing. This he refused to do, because he was up for re-election and was anxious to get the support of both the Ku Klux Klan and the closed people. He but in this, because the Negroes here passed resolutions condemning him and refused to vote for him, and he was defeated by a very small margin. He has never had much use for Johnson, Atty. Daniels and myself since, but, we don't give a d — about that. I have nothing personal; I am real facts. The night before the day of election I headed a committee that went to his house and tried to advise him that the colored people would not support him unless he gave the order closing the school before election. We could not convince him, but as soon as successor, he made the decision and Judge Krapp sustained us and closed the school. Geiger is shot full of race prejudice and the colored people here know it. They have never support him and his belief, perhaps they will vote against him in November. I can substantiate every statement made in this communication. Yours very truly. U. V. W. New York City, Oct. 8..'28. Dear Gazette Friends: I wrote "Fadeout of Populism" when I real- ized that this campaign would be full of "hokum" as to the 18th Amendment and my book was writ- ten to keep the 15th from being entirely forgotten. I hope friends of justice will get it read by the 18th Amendment "dimfammers." The price is only a dollar. I have written and published an eight page pamphlet, with the la- test portrait of the author, and this is on the subject of the infamous hitching up in the South of the "illy white" Republican party with the Ku Klux Klan. The price of this pamphlet is only 10c plus two cents for mailing. I am not any "man"-Friday" for any party, but I am just trying to keep up the fight for human justice. It is the effort of a very sick man to fight for as long as life is within him. (Hon.) Joseph C. Manning. 58 W. 119th St. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ALSO COOPER, GEIGER, CURRY IN AN ADDRESS AT ST.

Curry is the "Negro" who joined with the Ku Klux Klan of his city in the effort, a few years ago, to establish a "jim-crow" school system in Springfield but was beaten with the aid of our good men and women of that city and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. The audience was urged to defeat her and to include of Mr. Smith's address, which was loudly applauded thrust its delivery, he courteously answered all questions and satisfactorily, too. Then the audience surged forward to shake his hand, thank and congratulate him. One rather worried "Negro" woman political worker for the local Republican organization, who arose to ask a question, said Mr. Smith had told the people in the audience not to vote at all at the November election, but she was not audacious and she her very apparent and wank effort to get into the "time-light". Her question was absurd, for Mr. Smith never said it in his speech. The audience was highly elated with his full, frank, truthful and telling discussion of his subject, and it has been "the talk of the town" all week. Some "Negroes" are trying to "cover up" Color-Line Candidate Cooper, as most of our so-called weak people, "grafters", paid workers, etc., do in "playing the politician's game", but the editor has uncovered him too thorny for them to get away with such traitorous effort.

City Manager Will Hopkins will be the principal speaker at a civic mass meeting, under auspices of the Washington Civic club in the Triedstone Baptist church, E. 38th St. and Scovill Ave., Sunday at 8 p.m. Atty Chester Gillespie, president of the club, chairman of the meeting. Dr. Joe T. Thomas and others who attend this meeting should insist upon Hopkins telling the audience why he refuses to permit our internes and girl-student-nurses to enter the City Hospital. Ours are the only ones he bars from that public institution. WHY? Color-line Republican candidate for Governor Myers Y. Cooper met a group of "Negroes" headed by Councilman E. J. Gregg, Sunday, at Republican headquarters in the National City building. At this conference, Cooper admitted that he had fought a woman of color in the Cincinnati courts who had bought property in a real estate deal in which he was concerned. When they asked Cooper would he appoint some "Negro" to an important state post, Cooper "ducked—passed the buck", aided by Gregg, it is said. Color-line candidate Cooper is also alleged to have said that the editor of The Gateau "was not a good sport" because he (Mr. Smith) would not overlook his (Cooper's) color-line activities, and support his candidacy. What do you think of that? ATTENTION, GIRLS! Miss Linda. A. Eastman, president of the American Library association and librarian of the Cleveland public library, declared at the meeting of the association in Chicago, last week, that the number of attractive positions for trained librarians far exceeds the supply. "There is at present an insufficient number of trained librarians and we are striving to call the attention of young men and women to this field of work by encouraging the establishment of new training schools." Miss Eastman said. Why don't some of our progressive young women take the course in library work and thus make themselves eligible for appointment to some of these positions. Miss Eastman calls attention to? Come, girls here is a splendid opportunity. Take advantage of it! DE PRIEST INDICTED!

WEDDING BELLS Came floating on the balmy air In Juno's month, so bright and fair, Sweet harmonies that touched the heart And each soul true love im- part. There is no sound so sweetly tells The dream of youth as wedding bells. Whence come these intonations clear That only happy youth can hear? Which seem to be so far away. Yet, to each maiden seems to say— "Lift up your head, my little maid, And from your heart all grief shall fade." These chimes are not of metal base; Nor caroll they from sordid place; But, hallowed by our father's love, They sound their anthems from above. The flat, of creation born. And nurtured since that blessed morn In every maiden's bridal hour, Ennuptures her in floral bower. There are no sounds her heart so swells In maidenhood as Wedding Bells. These bells are not by passion rung, Nor yet, by base deception swung. The sound are anthems angels sing, Who kneel before our heavenly king. And where affection reigns supreme No discord ever can be seen. John P. Green. --- Subscribe NOW!

However, the contemporary nordic muddgers are no better, either, and their supremacy is seriously threatened by a crop of brunet drawlers. The dangerous heavyweight in the ring is George Godfrey. Probably the best bantamweight of the lot is "Kid Chocolate," a Cuban, who has been around New York for about a month and who has managed to create a sizeable sensation. It "Chocolate," who is called a "Little Dempsey," isn't the best capable of the H18-power then Al Brown, a player freak, should be cast as a six feet and, obviously, he is built along the generous lines of a hairpin.

Tax collections in Cuyahoga coun- ty have jumped $58,000,000 during the last decade, statistics released, Saturday, by County Treasurer Wal- ter ®. Cook, showed. In 1918 a to- tal of $27,082,265 was collected. Last year, $85,086,940 rolled into the tax coffers for use in 1928. Of the latter figure, personal taxes amounted to $18,857,133 and levies on real estate accounted for $66,- 179,806. . It cost $225,000 for Cook's department to collect taxes last year, no more than in 1926, when only $79,000,000 was collected. “Your people are coming to the realization that the Republican party has been “hornswoggling you ever since the Civil War,” Ray T.

Clar- euee Senior, of the Adult Edvea- tional Association, will also soon speak for the local branch, om the World Youth Conference, held abroad last summer. Several of our youths participated creditably in this conference. Patronizing our own enterprises is stressed in many of our news- papers. It is a fine thing to encour- age race loyalty and it is beneficial to all our businesses, perhaps more particularly to the advertisers in our publications. Seemingly where this policy is good for the readers it is Creosote Bath Acts As Fountain of Youth for Telephone Poles i a = SF hes oN yh ee fy J a ie als Se a fr Pi; J ry 2 4 A i Poles are still a substantial item of telephone construction, even if many of the lines in the cities are being put underground. This year ‘The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is setting 60,000 new poles, enoush to build a line from Columbus, Ohio, to Salt Lake City, Utah. This part of the $18,000,000 ex- pansion and betterment’ program is of particular benefit to rural com- munities, where many of the lines are being rebuilt aad extended, ‘and to users of the long-distance service. In some of the exchanges as many as 1,000 new poles are being set to put the rural lines in first- class condition and to allow for new telephones. This program is being continued from 1927, when many rural lines were entirely rebuilt. At Upper Sandusky, for instance, more than 1,000 poles were put up, and more than 500 in the vicinity of Fos- toria. Work just as extensive as this ‘is being done this year in nearly every part of the state. ‘On much of its work this com- pany now is using a type of pole that is expected to add many years of life to the average line. In the past cedar and chestnut have been used extensively for poles because of their lasting qualities. Usually the butts of these poles were treated to preserve the part in the ground. ‘The pole now being employed is of pine, which is very tough but in the past was not considered to be as durable as other types. The pine poles now being used are treated with creosote from end to end under great pressure, The creosote penetrates to the heart of the wood, and according to tele- phone engineers will prolong its useful life many years. Its preser- not desirable for some of our pub- lications. Two of our weeklies cir- culating in Cleveland (one a local publication) prefer giving the dis- tribution of their papers to white men. Bids for this distribution were tendered by a Cleveland Afro-Amer- jean, it is said, and either ignored, or refused without a courteous ex- planation. The lack of faith in the ability of the local member of the race, indicated by the Pittsburgh and Cleveland race paper, does not speak well for their race loyalty or give their readers much assurance when patronizing their advertisers. Then, too, our local business men, that is the great majority of them, appar- ently have yet to learn the value of advertising. | “NOT THE LARGEST, ‘BUT THE BEST!" Little Ruck, Ark., June 16, ‘25.

A Mystery. ee weg J ey hs PINE TREES ENTERING A CREOSDTING VAT vation in good condition will be a protection against interruption of Service during storms, since there will be less likelihood of the poles being carried down by wind or slect due to concealed weaknesses. Following the sleet storm which carried down thousands of poles in northwestern Ohio last March, it was found that the creosated pine poles generally were not damaged. In replacing the broken. poles, therefore, pine was used wherever possible. In ereasoting, the poles are londed. on steel’ trucks, and are pushed into long vats, which are then sealed. The creosote oil is then piped into the vat under as much ns 80 pounds pressure until the entire pole is thoroughly im- pregnated, Poles of various lengths are re- quired on the telephone lines. For @ small line not having more than two eross-arms, a 16-foot pole suf- fices along a ‘roadside. Twenty- two foot poles are needed to raise the wires over lanes and private drives and 25-foot poles are ordi- narily required where the linc crosses a highway. Although the telephone company is required to allow 18-foot eloarance over a road, it usually allows 22 fect. ‘This is ample for even the highest vehi “WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN eee eeetahAl tk a seal tall toute.

SPARK PLUGS ARE EASILY CLEANED To Function Properly They Must Be Kept Free of No automobile will operate with maximum efficiency unless the spark plugs function properly. And as the best spark plugs lose their full effectiveness after a season's driving—or approximately 10,000 miles, it is important that the motorist know how to properly care for them during this time. In the first place the spark gap should be set at .020 to .025 of an inch. Spark plugs to function properly must be kept free of excess carbon and oil formations. Cleaning Easily Done. Cleaning is easily done. Simply fill the lower part of the plug with alcohol, or any liquid metal polish, and allow to stand for a few seconds; take a piece of wire covered with one thickness of cloth and rub the carbon from the insulator then wipe clean and dry thoroughly before replacing in the engine. Cleaning a plug in this way is far better than taking it apart to clean. When a plug is once taken apart there is greater danger that it will not be put together securely again, which would cause leakage due to it not being tight. This in turn causes loss of power. In cleaning the sparking points use emery cloth or a knife. Where Worn Change Plugs. Where Worn, Change Plugs. In cases where the electrode is badly worn away cleaning with emery cloth is of no avail; likewise when the insulator is coated heavily the best and most economical remedy is to change plugs since the coating cannot be cleaned off readily. When spark plugs are severely worn, loss of power is often evident and eventually missing of the engine will occur which in turn produces the following major troubles: 1. Oil pumping, causing formation of carbon and sticky valves. 2. Poor starting and excessive drain on the battery. 3. Poor running; loss of power, especially on hills. 4. Higher gasoline consumption. 5. Larger engine repair expense. 6. Poor driving satisfaction. Grade Crossings Taking Heavy Toll in Counts Heavy Toll in Country Since 1920 a total of 16,738 persons have been killed in grade-crossing accidents throughout the United States. During 1927 a total of 2,371 persons were killed and 6,613 were injured in these accidents. Louisiana reported the highest death rate, with 3.02 fatalities for each 10,000 registered automobiles. Mississippi was second, with 2.02 deaths per 10,000 cars. The lowest fatality rate was found in Wyoming where no person was killed and only one person injured at grade crossings during the year. Rhode Is- and has a low death rate of .08 persons per 10,000 automobiles. At the beginning of the year there were 206,533 unprotected grade crossings. AUTOMOBILE HINTS Did you ever notice that the smaller the car the bigger the driver? Matters should be so arranged that road hogs could drive to the great open spaces and fight it out among themselves. Despite the fact that motorists are prone to prejudices in this way or that, thousands are fickle in regard to the gasoline they use. Do not permit the wheels of a car to rest in a puddle of oil on the street or in the garage. Oil is injurious to rubber and will ruin tires. A manufacturer claims a score of various steels in the fabrication of his auto, but the most prominent metal is the brass of the driver who hogs the road. Different Fuel Pumps Available for Any Car Now that cars are capable of climbing steep hills at 40 or 50 miles an hour, some natural problems arise in the matter of keeping the engine supplied with fuel. Many cars are coming through either with larger vacuum tanks or positive fuel pumps, but provision has not always been made to take cars this way. A wheelchair throttle on a long, steep hill an engine is using a maximum amount of fuel. Many car owners have found their engines limping toward the top without appreciating that it was simply a case of not getting gas, fast enough. Various fuel pumps operating on different principles now are available for installation on any car which may be afflicted with shortage of gas in hill climbing at high speed or for cars which are being used in a way the manufacturer did not anticipate. If the engine seems slow toward the top of the hill, and misses a bit, don't blame the valves or think it is overheating until you have made sure it gets a full supply of gas.

When the arms are brought together and locked in that position by a wire loop, the walls of the tire will be held apart, enabling the workman to examine the inside.-Lorell W. Butcher, Des Moines Iowa, in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Posture Affects Ease in Riding Qualities of Car It's the way people sit on the back seat that has so much to do with the various opinions they entertain about riding qualities. If you lounge too much on the seat you are certain to feel the road shocks through your back and shoulders where you are not used to it. The easiest ride can always be had by sitting on the edge of the seat, upright. One reason why the auxiliary seats of a seven-passenger car always seem comfortable is because they make passengers sit upright. Manufacturers have been giving these facts consideration this past year, and this explains why some cars ride so much better than others of the same priced class. That is because the seats are shaped to compel the passenger to sit in the most comfortable position. Using Grade Separation Several leading cities in the country are adopting the policy of separating the crosswise motor traffic from the main thoroughfare at busy intersections by elevating or depressing the crosswise thoroughfare. The same causes the grade separation is affected by raising the level of one street slightly and depressing the level of the other so that there is a minimum change of grade at either thoroughfare. Among the cities which have adopted such improvements are New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and San Francisco. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O $_4$ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928. Telephone Personalities The Repair Clerk The telephone company takes full cognizance of the fact that its subscribers' instruments occasionally get out of order, and provides a means of "taking care of trouble reports promptly. Calls for the "repair clerk" in most towns reach a girl in the terminal room in the telephone exchange, where all the outside lines terminate on frames. The repair clerk has before her a card record of all telephones served from the exchange. In the same room with her are the wire chief and the men who work at the testboards. The repairmen who work on the lines are in constant communication with the wire chief's forces, and are given instructions to investigate any trouble reports that have been received. Thus, the repair clerk is at the "nerve center" of the telephone system, where quick action is most possible, and is able to give immediate attention to any reports of trouble. AUTOS ARE CHASING POLES FARTHER BACK As Roads Are Widened, Lines Must Be Relocated, Creating Numerous Problems For Telephone Engineers The increase in automobile traffic has a distinct and expensive effect on public utilities companies whose pole lines follow the highways, according to J. W. Cherry, division superintendent in charge of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's plant in a large part of southern Ohio. Roads are being widened throughout Ohio, causing the utilities to move many of J W CHERRY their lines. "I think all public utilities must accept as a settled fact that the road program will proceed and that they must spend the money to take care of their plant and not retard the wheels of progress." "The State Highway Department and the county commissioners are authorized to order removal of all poles within five days after notification to the utility. They realize that this notification brings some hardship, and make an earnest effort to give at least 30 days' notice." Many problems must be decided in relocating the lines, Mr. Cherry said. Trees must be trimmed, farmers' fences moved and new lines engineered and erected before the road work can start. In some cases, the lines are moved away from the roads entirely. In that case permission must be obtained to erect poles on private property, and surveys made. One of the most serious questions is permanency. "I am sure that 25 years ago, when present poles were placed," said Mr. Cherry, "we as telephone men considered the permanency of our lines. The width of our roads then was considered ample for all time. We are again confronted with this same proposition. While roads are being widened as much as possible under existing conditions, there seems to be no question that further widening will be necessary again in the future. If we build on back roads, we must consider the fact that the back roads of today may be the main roads of tomorrow." Another factor is the tremendous growth in the long-distance business. With calls to distant points today being made almost as quickly as local calls, more and more lines are necessary. There seems to be no end for the demand for circuits, said Mr. Cherry, and where a 40-wire line may seem ample for 10 or 15 years, the near future may bring a growth in telephone habits that requires a still larger line. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together our furious and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." A CLASSIC IN VELVET BESPEAKS THE EVENING MODE AT ITS BEST Underwood & Underwood H THERE is no danger of milliners being accused of lacking originality his season. Every shape seems to have been individually manipulated to point which achieves the unusual and the unique. It matters not whether the hat be of velvet, felt, or traped tricot, the no-two-allie theory prevails. The millinery group herewith illustrates the point most interestingly, consider first the little velvet hat at the top in the owl to the left. It is in the new copper color and the fabric is brought to a soft drape at one side and is pulled through a semicircle of amber crystal settings. This is contrasted with a folded brim effect at the other side, thus making the model one of unusual distinction and becomingness. The beige felt toque at the top-center bespoke the artist-milliner's touch in the handling of the felt of which it A CLASSIC IN VELV THE EVENING IF YOU can indulge in but one hand some new evening frock this season, by all means let it be of black velvet. Even to a greater extent than heretofore, if such be possible, the mode high-light sheer exquisite velvets for formal wear. Have your velvet frock styled with utmost simplicity, perhaps somewhat after the manner of the classic gown in the picture, with a view to adding accessories later. That is, the bodice should be semi-fitted and, of course, sleeveless. The hemline of the skirt should measure very wide, and of course dip to the back, which is the very, very proper thing for all evening-wear hemlines to do at present. The graceful scarf of velvet which you see trailing over madame's arm in the picture is one of the leading style themes this season—a matching scarf or shawl. Fashionables are wearing all sorts of intriguing capes and shawls and jackets over their dine-and-dance chiffon and velvet frocks. Perhaps the most unusual—and it is certainly decidedly new—accessory of this kind is the jacket or bolero of pattiled nett. Net. are frequently made with long sleeves, and they proclaim their festive intention, in that they glitter and sparkle with all the glamor of a true evening mode. The idea originated in Paris. Now, such a jacket would transform the py of The maintenance wh is fashioned. The "elephant ear" effect, speaking in latest millinery parlance, is accented in the low-brought sides, which conceal almost the entire coiffure line. Black satin is the chosen medium for the hat in the little oval to the right. Regardless of the fact that many materials are being featured, including soleil, hatter's plush and the new French tricot, satin retains its position of importance in the realm of millinery. The stylish thing about this hat is that it stresses one side very deep, with a slashed and folded-back front brim in the modish "one-eye" treatment. Any amount of smart style is expressed in the felt toque to the left, and it is the clever positioning of two triangular flaps of the felt at one side which "turned the trick"—merely another instance where clever manipulation achieves a convincing style touch. The top of this arresting toque is embroidered in chenille. And that reminds, keep an eye open for the new crochet, chenille bats which are "on the way" from Paris. Milliners have discovered that with out even an item of trimming, when genius plays its part, thrilling effects can be evolved out of a single medium. The last hat in the group illustrates the idea. It is of felt from start to finish, and it goes to show what intricate manipulation is accomplish in the way of shapes which are different. Hats which employ two materials in their making are also very smart this season—felts with velvet brims and appliques, for example. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, (©) 1928, Western Newspaper Union. VET BESPEAKS MODE AT ITS BEST frock in the picture until it would express an entirely different individuality. The idea might be varied by substituting one of the sheer capetels of tulle which are on the list of smart details for the evening mode. The most enchanting novelties of this kind are being shown, some elaborated with embroidery, or if of chiffon they are apt to be handpainted. Some have floating scarf ends but they are fitted carefully about the low neckline. Oh there is no end of lovely alluring things of this sort coming out for wear during the coming autumn and winter social season. Then, too, the evening gown of black velvet may be made to look regal under the magic touch of costume jewelry. Pearls have come into their own again and several ropes of the new-fashioned pearls which are in tints as well as white would richly endow the classic in velvet here pictured with new beauty. Colored crystal jewelry is quite the rage, also, mounted in massive showy settings. Paris again smiles with approval on costume flowers. Feather flowers are a favorite theme, also tiny beaded effects, also the favor for gardenias still persists. Gartlands of hand-made silk flowers also handsomely embellish many a black velvet evening gown. JUJA 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 assault, such as 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 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of the criminal, shall be used in lieu of injury as perly 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, chis, missiles or in any other manner after provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made.

(93 v. 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, but such criminal 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 rejoicing, and the childless share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws 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 a part of any of his liabilities. (93 B 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 recourse provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within 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. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is bad, to include it with the court's decision to tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, must cover costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of 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 public liable to such recovery. (93 v. 182 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 another 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 from dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. 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 Proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 hundreds 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 Law, to 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. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I want to send you, under a separate cover, the New York porter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard R. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our office is administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant.
