Granady, a member of the race, climaxing a day of violence and thievery at the April primary, spurred a group of local civile leaders to a smashing attack on the alliance between crime and politics here. Granady was the opponent of City Collector Morris Eller (white), a Thompson wheelhorse, for the committeeman's post in the "Bloody Twentieth ward." He was chased through streets of the ward by a gang of gunmen, run to earth and shot down in cold blood. The savagery of the killing brought together the city's leaders, among them Carl R. Latham, president of the Chicago Bar Association, and Frank J. Loesch, president of the Chicago Crime Commission. ARGUED FOR WEAVER RETRIAL Attorneys Cook and Marsellster Start the Third Fight Against His Death Sentence. Attorneys for Joseph Weaver, under sentence of death for the murder of Jasper Russell, steel plant watchman, argued, Monday, for a new trial before a Court of Appeals composed of three visiting judges, which reviewed decision. This is the third flight of Weaver's life. Common Pleas Judge Irving Carpenter of Norwalk, sitting here by assignment, some time ago held that, since motion for a new trial had not been filed during the term when Weaver was convicted, he could not grant the motion. This is the question raised in the Appellate Court. Alex Maynor, alleged confederate of Weaver, who was sent to prison for life, later granted Weaver and Weaver was granted a reprieve. Judges Lewis B. Hough of M. Vernon, Robert S. Shields of Canton and C. C. Lemert of Zanesville heard Monday's argument. Southern States That Would Lose. Southern States That Would Lose. Washington, D. C. — It is estimated that if the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. constitution endorsed the U.

The South, which now has 104 representatives, would have but one vote. The North, which were carried into effect as the U. S. constitution manditiously requires. DAUGHTERS RUINED! The Father Accepts $600 and Is "Satisfied"—College Officials and "Pastors" Guilty. Kittrell, N. C.—The final chapter in the Nalep pattern case was written here, Dec. I. Angle Neal, accompanied by her father, came from College grounds with her baby in her arms. A former Kittrell college official whom she declared was the father of her child settled the matter by handing over a check for $200. The father, girl and the baby left for Raleigh, late in the afternoon, the father expressing himself as "satisfied" with the settlement. Later developments are to the effect of taking the expense bounced back. Campus talk here is that the home of this official was a sort of college harem. "Elmer Gantry", who sent some favorite girls from their congregations here to get a free education, frequently came to the Kittrell house to stay two weeks at a time and were at liberty to have their "pet" come to them at this place. Co-eds, who have been made talking to her, have been fitted匀intuition with high college officials, three of whom are also high church officers. The case of Grace Neal, Neal's other daughter, was settled in Raleigh, the same week, when a Wilmington pastor is reported as paying $400 in an alleged paternity case. Atty. Thomas W. Ruffin of Raleigh declined to confirm the rumor that the settlement took place in his office, week before last. He said "inform anything", he told a reporter. "You mean to say that you regard the matter as confidential?" he was asked. "Just say I can't confirm anything," was Mr. Ruffin's reply. *Latest Developments.* Angie Neal, her father, and baby went Henderson, last week Tuesday, to see the issue of a warrant against G. A. Edwards, ex-president of Kittrell College, whom she charges with the paternity of her child. Arrest was expected, that night. Miss Neal, who is a former student of Kittrell College, was reported, week before last, in Baltimore, from which point she later went to Kittrell College with her father in an effort to compel the payment of the state usually requires in paternity cases. The father, girl and baby left Raleigh, Dec. 1, expressing themselves satisfied with the settlement. Later reports announced that the check which they received, was not good. JOSEPH WEAVER STILL HOPEFUL That Justice Will Be Meted Out to Him and That He Will Soon Regain His Liberty — Write Gov. A. V. Donahey in His Behalf. Columbus, O. Dec. 7, '28. Hon. Harper, O. Dec. 6, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: — With greatest of pleasure I received the letter, a few hours ago, which you sent me, that you received from the Governor, replying to one you wrote him asking for freedom for me because you are convinced of my innocence of a crime that I am yet under the sentence of death for. My heart leaped for joy to see what I was doing all you can to force the wheel to a speedy turn to justice for me. If the person that committed the crime that was falsely charged to me had died in the electric chair to pay for it, I don't think his death would have been too severe punishment. And if I was guilty I should be willing to pay for it, but not only guilty of the crime, but have never been guilty of the thot of degrading myself by an atrocious crime of the kind, I have as much JOSEPH WEAVER right to die in the electric chair as I have to spend the balance of my life in the penitentiary. And since I believe the Governor will view my case, in this direction, he will not want to hold me in prison if a few persons ask for my liberty as you have done. My attorneys, N. E. Cook and Wm. H. Marsteller of Cleveland, were here to see me, last Wednesday, Dec. 5th. They say my case will be pressed with all energy on the 10th for a new trial and if the court finds no ground on which to grant me a new trial my case will be carried to the Governor, asking him to pardon me. Some street-car employees, who were Alex Maynor's corroborators, told the court at my trial that they picked him and me up at 10:30 P. M. leaving the scene where the man SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BOSTON'S STORY ABOUT THEM SENT TO AMERICA FROM EUROPE, LAST SEASON, AND REVIVED RECENTLY. Hayes' Alleged Royal Ancestors—Washington Afro-Americans "Roast" Him Because of "Jim-Crow" Seating in His Concert There Recently—Hayes Mum. Boston, Mass.—Unconfirmed reports announce that Countess Helena Kolloyrda is on a visit to this country. Engagement of the Countess to Roland Hayes, tenor, was announced two years ago in the Vienna newspapers and cabled dispatches to the Chicago Daily News and the Jewish Daily Forward. Symphony Hall, management of Mr. Hayes, denied the rumor of his engagement declaring the story was designed to injure his concert tour in America. Rumors are to the effect that the Countess heard Mr. Hayes sing in his recent Symphony Hall concert. The Daily Forward in telling of his engagement, two years ago, declared that Vienna papers were full of the love affair of the high born Austrian countess, formerly of the Kaiser's court, whose husband was a distinguished Vienna aristocrat. Vienna and the Countess, who had divorced her husband, showed great interest in him and was frequently The "Forward" declared that women fought fiercely for the privilege of getting into the theatre to hear Roland Hayes when he was in Vienna, better yet to see the singer who intrigued their hearts with his singing and his unusual countenance. It continued that the singer captured the heart of the well-known Vienna beauty, Countess Helen Kolloyda. The Countess upon seeing and hearing the singer, fell head-over-heels in her wife, and made one of his concerts. Afterward she invited him to her home where he sang to her while she sat at his feet and "swallowed" him with her eyes. Love Affair. The love affair continued until the count became aware of what was going on. Fistfulcuffs followed in which the Count got the worst of the encounter. Her flight followed, to an Austrian watering place. Semering. The count is then reported to have suit for divorce and his wife announced her engagement to Mr. Hayes. Royal Blood. Friends of Mr. Hayes, declared the "Forward", poo-hooded the idea that the singer was not good enough for the Countess. They said he was a prince, descendant from a princecy family, that his great grandfather was king in Abyssinia and a descendant of King Solomon. The Daily news declared that Mr. Hayes recently sang at several concerts in NEW KIND OF RACE To Finish "All-Negro" Films—M-G M and Fox in It. (Hollywood Bureau, Motion Picture News) Hollywood, Calif. — Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Fox are now engaged in a race to get the first all-colored cast talking, singing and dancing production on the market. The race, probably unintentional, gives MGM a lead in the Hallelujah has been in actual production for several weeks, and Fox just placed "Hearts in Dixie" before a camera during the current week. Both companies are slated to finish within a fortnight of each other, with release dates not scheduled for either one at present. "Hallelujah" has been a lead team with "Hearts in Dixie" about Jan. 1. 29. Charles Glinp plays the leading role in the Fox production which Paul Sloane is directing. The cast includes other artists well-known to the musical comedy and vaudeville fields, among them Eugene Jackson, Stepin Fetchit, Gertrude Howard, Bernice Pilot, Zack Williams, Mme. Sul Te Wan, and a chorus of 50 voices. King Vidor started work on the film, which brought his company to the Coast to finish. His leads include Daniel Haynes, Honey Brown, Victoria Splvey, Mrs. Florence De Knight and Harry Dray. was killed, and according to his rings by his time-clock it is proved that the man was alive at that hour. Alex. Maynor was a roomer of mine for five or six months in 1926 but he had quit rooming with me about six months prior to the man's death. In his confession exonerating me, he held that he was not with me that he once was a regular freight-train hobo and was held by federal authorities of Cleveland for transporting moonshine in 1924 or 1925, and that he killed his wife at his original home, Nashville, Tenn. in the year of 1912.

P. against Poll's Theatre, after a judge of the Roland Hayes' southern tour and the tenor, himself, because of the seating arrangements in the Roland Hayes' concert, last week. Tickets for the rear seats in the "peanut gallery" only were sold to Colored patrons. Neval Thomas, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. said: Roland Hayes makes it difficult for us because of his failure to speak out against 'jim row' and segregation. Mr. Hayes could make it far easier for us in the campaign we are conducting if he would end his policy of silence. Upon his last appearance in Washington, we urged him to condemn the 'jim-crow seating arrangement and his only reply was that I make my speech from the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. THIS IS "A HOT ONE" Served on Our Ministers, Doctors, Lawyers and Office-Holders — A “Mouthful” of Truth—Amen! Columbus, O. — Mr. Clarence C. Waring, president of the D. and D. Society, wants it distinctly known and understood that no Negro ministers, doctors, lawyers or any office-holders can become a member of the D. and D. Society. The fathers and mothers that are toiling and laboring hard to bring up their children and educate them can no longer be fooled by some of the Negro presidents of the Republican party. These toiling fathers and mothers and even their young sons and daughters will no longer give generously to their hard-gained support to support these preachers, that accept such dirty money from any political source, and support such preachers in comfort and even luxury. The Negro preacher that is accepting and has accepted such dirty money and such preachers will find salaries and cash contributions growing smaller and smaller, each Sunday, until he will have to leave his pulpit and go to work for an honest day's wage. (N. O. T. E. U. S.) Whites to Become Brown? Chicago, Ill. — One inheritance which the present day white race will pass on to its children of some distant future will be a brown skin. Dr. Morris Fishbain asserts. He is editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Exposure to ultra-violet rays over pronged periods will tan the skin to a brown skin in the course of ages the pigment will be inherited and we will become a brown race," he said. Asks $860,000. Washington, D. C.—President Co- olidge in submitting his budget for the year, ending June 30, 1930, ask- ed Congress to appropriate $600,000 for Howard university and $260,000 for Freedmen's hospital. SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) IN UNION IS STRONGER SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1928. Madison Bell of Toledo, poet and writer, was Ohio Afro-Americans' first Presidential elector, many years ago. The so-called "Negro problem" has given the average prejudiced and very imaginative American enough to shudder over without Dr. Morris Fishbein telling them that eventually they are all to be brown in color. Wonder why the Hon. Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin waited until he had been all but kicked out of the Congress before introducing an anti-Klan bill? He has been a member for many years. Rotand Hayes is neither "a great singer" nor "a *marvelous* artist". Such extravagant terms of praise should not be used in speaking of his singing. The best that can be said of him is that he is an exceptionally successful singer. --- "The Illustrated Feature Section", which a Chicago advertising agency has "wished" on a number of our unsophisticated (from a business viewpoint) newspaper publishers, is "a good money-maker" for the agency but a "white elephant", in more ways than one, for the aforementioned newspaper publishers. Brethren of the race press, don't be such "easy picking". --- So color-line Republican candidate for governor, Myers Y. Cooper, ran last among the nine successful candidates for state office. Well, no wonder. All of our self and race respecting men and women voters in the state, who knew him as they should, refused to vote for him, this fall, just as they did, two years ago, and will do, two years hence, if they are given a chance. Prof. Kelly Miller's latest effort to "climb into the public spotlight" thru the medium of another "Sandhedrin", national "talkfest", is very properly being discouraged by our leading newspapers. The first "Sandhedrin" was a miserable failure. Why another? Miller's failure to resign, when the president (white) of Howard University, who preceded its present executive, Dr. Mordical Johnson, was "kicking" him and other Afro-American members of Howard's faculty "around like Missouri hound-dogs", ditched any claim to race leadership he may have ever had. --- It is considerable satisfaction to know, at least, that the company which was operating the Vestris, the boat sunk in mid-ocean as a result of the carelessness of its officers, a few weeks ago, with the loss of more than one hundred lives, has not succeeded in placing the blame, for the vessel's loss and consequent loss of life, on the "Negro" crew which was officially absolved of all responsibility for the same and praised for their heroic efforts to save lives, led by the little quartermaster, Lionel Licorice. DR. HORACE C. BAILEY RIGHT. Our Dr. H. C. Bailey of this city was right, last week, when he told the Cleveland Baptist ministers' meeting of both races that "the churches, as a rule, haven't any message for the people" and that "the ministers' calling is preaching Christ and Him crucified". The ministers there gathered applauded Him "most enthusiastically". That at least is encouraging! Now comes Dr. Charles W. Gilkey (white), dean of the University of Chicago chapel, who was in the city, last week Thursday, and spoke before a large audience at the conference on "World Mission of Christianity" in Euclid Ave. Baptist Temple. Dr. Gilkey told his audience bluntly that America especially, and much of the world generally, had gone spiritually dead, like a cold motor, because it had lost that humility, that tell-feeling for other people and races, which was Jesus Christ's supreme mission on earth to teach. "Spiritual anberybey, racial intolerance, pride and haughtiness, along with a new age of economic rivalry," he declared to be the dangerous "air-pockets" which were threatening the plan of Christianity today. "Three race prejudice, of pride, of nationalistic rivalries and intolerance, on the one hand, with patronage and condescension in the spiritual atmosphere, which give rise to new missionary problems, and call for a new policy and a new program," he declared. "These problems will not be solved sitting around comfortable fireplaces, as long as they should support foreign missions, or discussing Christianity abstractly as a religion in classrooms. "We must first face the question: Is there less of Christ's spirit in the American churches? " It is our race and nationalistic prejudice, and arrogance and bigotry which Christ is judging, today, and if you don't believe it go to some other country. Dr. Gilkey was addressing his remarks to the white ministry and churches particularly of course, while Dr. Bailey was directing his to those of all races or classes, and both are right. As far as our local ministers are concerned, we have only to refer to the baneful activity of a number of them in the recent political campaign to "place" them. There were cases, and a number too, where they were using their churches and members to boost the candidacies for office of white men, even going so far as to support the color-line Republican candidate for governor, Myers Y. Cooper, for what they could "make out of it". several of the so-called leaders (pastors) were "right out in the open" in this nefarious political work, at least one of whom openly boasting of his financial success. We would ask Dr. Bailey, who is personally acquainted with about all of these "jack-leg" political ministers, how can they deliver a "message" or "preach Christ and Him crucified" in such a manner as to build up the Church? They are on a par, in at least one way, with the intolerant, prejudiced and arrogant white ministers to whom Dr. Gilkey refers. Money seems to be their god. For this reason they want numbers in their churches rather than Christians, and do not as a rule get the desired number of either. Just what our people of this community will soon have to do, in the case of the local City hospital and its nurses' school, has been done by our people of Charleston, W. Va. who last week won a sweeping victory when the Supreme Court of that state ordered the library of that city opened to them as well as the whites of Charleston. The principle is the same in both the Charleston and Cleveland cases: Citizen - taxpayers cannot be legally denied the free use of public institutions of any kind, maintained by public funds, and that includes city hospitals, libraries, bath-houses, bathing pools and beaches, and all other public institutions, municipal, state and federal or national. Let our leading men and women of this community wake up, get busy at once, and teach City Manager Wiff! Hopkins and his subordinate, Dr. Dudley "Segregation" Blossom a much-needed lesson along the line indicated. ROLAND HAYES AND COUNTESS It looks as if prejudiced American newspaper writers in Europe and their sympathizers, as well as those in this country, jealous of his exceptional success and the high social attention paid Roland Hayes, tenor soloist, in Europe and America are doing their utmost to ruin him, at least in this country. There is so little if any prejudice in European countries that they could not hope for much success there as a result of their contemptible efforts, but it is very different in this prejudiced country. To date, they have had little if any success but of course live in hopes. We sincerely trust there are no good grounds for the "countless" attack they are making on the well-known tenor soloist while on TUBBY I GUESS I'M IN PRETTY SOLID WITH LUCY JONES, NOW - SHE OUGHTA LIKE ME BETTER'N SHE DOES SISSY SMITH SINCE I GAVE HER THE BIG BUNCH OF ROSES THAT SAM WILSON SENT TO COUSIN PATRICIA.

Thomas Merritt filed the suit, alleging he was injured when the football star's automobile, driven by his brother, Garland Grange, collided with a taxicab. Godfrey Kayoes Big Jim Sigman. Fremont, O.—Big Jim Sigman (white), late of Ucile Sam's navy, joined the pugilistic airs corps for a few seconds here, Wednesday night, when big George Godfrey, of Leiperville, Pa., clipped him on the chin in the second stanza of a scheduled ten-round bout. The boxes were coming out of a clinch when Godfrey connected with a strut of the Sigman. Sigman squirted of the ring and into the arms of spectators. Godfrey's first blow closed Sigman's eye and the sailor never had a chance after the opening exchange. One thousand fans attended the fight. Siki Loses to Skully. Big Bill Skully (white), heavyweight, had no difficulty in defeating Battling Siki in the feature bout at Els' hall, last week Thursday evening. he had a set-up, but the long arms that hammered terrific rights and lefts to the jaw were too much for the over-confident lad. Sailor Tom Ward (white), made his first appearance of the season here, that night and defeated his opponent, Art Lams, after four rounds of terrific battling. War was knockout with his bouts at the Els' hall last year, including Art. Joe Redell (white), and Whiz Bang Carter put on the most furious bout of the evening, hammering each other from the first to the last bell with hard body blows, after which the judges awarded the decision to Carter.

TOM AND BOB. Atty, Robert Barcus of Columbus, our special assistant in the office of the attorney general of Ohio, is being opposed for reappointment by Councilman Tom Fleming of this city, it is said, on the ground that Barcus "has held the position long enough". This is RICH, coming from Tom who has "held" the office of councilman for sixteen years. We are not advocating the reappointment of Barcus either, because as the head of our Ohio Knights of Pythias, with others we hold him responsible for the leasing of the new theater in our K. P. headquarters' building at Columbus to a man (white) who has a chain of movie theaters in Columbus from some of our people are barred, and otherwise discriminated against in others. Of course, this ought to recommend Barcus to the color-line Republican governor-elect, Myers Y. Cooper, just as Tom's political servility has made him persona grata to the leaders of the local Republican party for the past sixteen years. Gov.-elect Cooper Last. Columbus, O. — Myers Y. Cooper carried 71 out of the state's 88 counties for governor, and Hoover carried all but two for president. Putnam County gave Gov. Al Smith a plurality of the plurality of 1026. Despite the fact that Cooper won by 248,787, he ran last among the nine successful candidates for state office. His color-line activities, in his real estate business in Cincinnati, had much to do with this since he lost thousands of votes. The recent election just as he did when defeated, two years ago.

There were between six and seven thousand people at the game. Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, promoted this contest. In order to bring the game to Cleveland, it is said that $2500 had to be paid to each institution. Other necessary expenses, further increased by the organization's financial obligations, for the game, to a total of approximately $7000, making the deficit about $2000 which, it is also said, was sustained by Councilman Tom Fleming and several other members of the lodge who with him financed the game for the organization. We warned the Elks not to take the contest to Colorline Luna Park stadium. The enrollment at the park, in August last, was a financial failure and they have had others at the same place. They would not listen to The Gazette, however, with the result noted above. If the same teams are brought to Cleveland, next thanksgiving, and the game is played at other than Color-line Luna Park stadium, then the financial success because there are THOUSANDS of our people in this community who have too much self and race respect to go to Color-line Luna Park, or its stadium, to see or hear anything. "Chocolate" Meets His First "Chocolate" Meets His First. New York City.—With more than 18,000 people looking on, last week Monday night, Kid Chocolate, floored with the first punch of the back, fought Joe Scalaford (white) at Kid Chocolate. Saturday night. This is the Afro-Cuban flash's first real adversary. He has won all of his many bouts, kayoing many. The punch that brought him down was delivered inside of two seconds after the bell rang. Chocolate was on his back before he knew the fight had started. He came back in great fashion, almost fully recounted. He can and it was Joe's turn to take a smacking about. The place was in an uproar. It certainly was two full minutes of fighting. In the third round Chocolate landed a hard right on Scalaford's chin and as Joe started to fall face downward Chocolate turned his back and walked to his corner. He thought that he had faced downward. As it happened, Scalaford didn't go down, though his glove almost touched the floor. He had steadied himself by the time Chocolate had discovered his mistake. Joe's punches, always deadly, rocked Chocolate when they landed, which wasn't often, for Chocolate slips that an eel. Joe found that he was able to have Chocolate a merry three minutes of it but Chocolate came right back effectively in the ninth and coasted to a draw in the last. Mrs. Sadie Turner, of Quebec Ave., died in Frankfort, Ky., Thanksgiving morning, while visiting her brother, Dr. Edward E.

Mrs. Turner is survived by a son, Edward E. Turner, for years a Scovill Ave. lines. He has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Her other son died, a few months ago. His loss undoubtedly hastened her death. Funeral, last week Tuesday, from Mt. Zion Cong. church, was largely attended by a host of local friends and acquaintances. She had been active in church, S.

Washington, D. C. — Hon. Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, the only Socialist in Congress, has a plan for putting the Ku Klux Klan out of business.

All were rendered in his smooth and exceptionally pleasing manner, the falsetto voice being used more generously and skillfully than is true in the case of any other concert tenor-solist we have ever heard. Indeed, it is this innovation in his singing which most impresses, and "catches" nearly all of his large and discriminating audiences. His first three groups songs (often the compositions of Italian and German authors with the exception of a few, one being the work of Gerald Tyler, a member of the race. Another by Rachmaninoff, the great Russian pianist and composer. Hayes has not a wonderful voice, but uses what he has so skillful and well as to get wonderful results with his audiences.

Within the past few months business men in various Ohio cities have talked to people in Oslo, Norway; London, England; Berlin, Germany, and other European points. These calls, though record breaking in many respects, were handled as part of the regular telephone service and indeed could be made by any one just as he would make any other out-of-town telephone call. When Otto F. Knutses, of Cleveland, called his sister in Oslo, Norway, it was the longest call ever made in Ohio—5,600 miles long and passing through six nations. Yet it was as simple as if he'd called her in some other American city. When the F. E. Myers & Bro.

CROSSING DEATHS 20,427 IN DECADE Seriously Injured Number 57,625 on Major Steam Railroads. During the past ten years 20,427 persons have been killed and 57,625 seriously injured in highway grade crossing accidents on major steam railroads. The figures do not include grade crossing accidents occurring on smaller steam railroads or on electric and oil lines. These figures were made public recently by the American Road Builders association as part of its national highway safety campaign. The association points out that while the number of fatalities has increased steadily since 1918, the comparative number of deaths has been decreased. In 1918 a total of 1,852 persons were killed in these accidents, as compared with 2,371 in 1927. In 1927 there were 94 persons killed per 10,000 motor vehicles as compared with 1.84 persons in 1918. Education Helps. The decrease in highway grade crossing fatalities has been the result of educational measures taken by railroads and co-operating organizations, the American Road Builers' association declares. "A continued reduction is dependent upon the practice of caution on the part of motor vehicle drivers. Courtesy and caution are the two fundamentals which will eventually bring a noteworthy decrease in all types of highway accidents. "The two major factors which will contribute toward better conditions at the railroad grade crossings are crossing elimination and individual education. There are approximately 207,000 unprotected grade crossings on major steam railroads alone. It is economically, impossible for the complete elimination of these crossings within the very near future. It is possible, however, to eliminate the more dangerous crossings and at the same time continue the education of the motoring public in the value of courtesy and caution when approaching these hazards." Urge Elimination. The association urged highway departments and railroads to continue the elimination of grade crossings as fast as economic conditions premit. In summarizing grade crossing conditions on major steam railroads the American Builders' association stated that at the beginning of 1927 there were 206,533 unprotected crossings in the United States; 6,148 crossings were protected by gates, 7,700 were guarded by watchmen, 6,421 had both audible and visible signals, 5,308 were guarded by audible signals only, and 2,204 had visible signals only. Of the 255,138 grade crossings in the United States only 27,747 had any kind of protection. The above figures do not include crossings located on electric, gas or oil railroads, or on steam railroads of second, third and fourth grades. Motion of Auto Will Tighten Up the Brakes As long as driving with the emergency brake set is common, it might be of interest to explain why it is that most people who make this mistake manage to get about a half a block from their starting point before discovering their error. A woman who recently started in this forgetful fashion said that the car seemed to run as usual in first and second. When she shifted to high, however, the machine commenced to slow down rapidly. It puzzled her to know why the brake did not assert its authority from the very start. There were two reasons. One is that the engine is more powerful in the lower gears. The other is concerned with the brake itself. As the car moves the drum of the holding brake expands, thus making the brake hold firmer. Club Proclaims Driver In Skidmore, Mo., the town council recently enacted a new ordinance that is likely to meet with some disapproval on the part of our Twentieth century lovers . . . you know, the fellows that keep one arm entwined around that of his fair companion with the other arm free for driving. The new law, according to a bulletin issued by the Automobile Club of Illinois, proclaims that "the driver shall not place an arm around the person of another, but shall keep both hands free . . . Nor shall any person place an arm or arms around the person of the driver." "Anything that makes for safer and safer driving, should be accepted as worthy of such action, and the step taken by the Missourians in the passage of the ordinance will likely be followed by other municipalities," declared St. Mayer, president of the club. Novel Automobile Used By Canadian Railroad A novel car used by the engineering department of the Canadian Pacific railroad for tours of inspection. The car is equipped with three braking systems: the ordinary foot brake operating on the rear flanged wheels; the emergency brake, and a special Handy Car for Railroading. brake applied by turning the steering wheel acting through brake-shoes on the front wheels. It is driven by a single gear with a ratio of 4 to 1. The lighting system has been altered to conform with railway regulations. Note the small limps mounted on front fenders. Spain Making Shoes of Discarded Auto Tires The discarded tires of the American motorists are rapidly becoming one of the principal sources of shoes for the peasants of Europe, according to the Keystone Motorist, one of the official publications of the American Motorists' association. Companies are not available, the publication states, but figures just published by the Department of Commerce show that in Spain alone last year $1,330,000 worth of old tires were imported from America and made into footwear. The pneumatic casings are used in the making of alpargata soles, for use among the middle classes. Old solid tires are converted into rubber heels and inner tubes are manufactured into the making of soles for cheap canvas footwear.

FUR COAT BETTER start in and tour the shops right now, in quest of a modish "fur set," for their "ogue is one of the happiest of happy "happenstances" that the world o. fashion has been privileged to enjoy for many a winter season. The timid appearance of the tiny muff was the first visual hint that "sets" were on the way. Then, too, the ensemble idea has proved an inspiration to furriers to create neckpieces, hats and muffs to match—and pocketbooks, too, if you please, or fur! Milliners are designing the most ravishing fur hats this season. The new furs are so supple they can be handled as easily as fable, and of course this makes them as adaptable to millinery as velvet or felt or satin or any other medium. A fur hat immediately calls for a matching neckpiece and since the mode declares muffs to be fashionable—voila! the fur set joins the winter style parade. There's simply no use attempting to tell the story of the fascinating fur sets which have already appeared upon the scene, so many and so varied are they—and there are more and more to follow. WHICH SHALL IT BE OR A CLOTH COA AN ALL-FUR coat or a furred cloth fur coat. Which, oh, which shall it be! And Dame Fashion laughs at this dilemma of womankind, for well this mystic spirit whose willing subjects we are, knows of the keen competition which she is staging between the two. Never has the fur coat been so alluringly fashioned as it is in these ultra-modern days. The same may also be said of the cloth coat, so richly furred and in the styling of which amazing fabric manipulation plays such a fetching part. Which brings us back to the original problem of choosing between them. If one is inclined toward a fur coat, the arguments in favor are many. First and foremost is the fact of the style element having entered into the realm of furs to an unprecedented extent. That is, the days of the all-looking alf fur coats are forever past. Today the fur coat is styled with every diversifying detail which bespeaks the whims and caprice of fashion. In this respect necessity has indeed become the "mother of invention," for furriers in order to meet the keen rivalry of the cloth coat, which has with the passing of the seasons become increasingly intriguing, have been impelled as never before to exercise all their ingenuity in working furs to a point of equal interest and versatility. y Your Co or an Acqu The fur outstanding for the making of these chic ensembles is caracul, either black, brown, gray, beige or that which is fashion's "last word"—white caracul. Other flat furs employed include pony, antelope, Persian lamb, broadtail, galyak, all of which yield as gracefully to manipulation as cloth or any other material. Most of the sets are composed of turbans or can-touques, with scarf and muff. Paris, however, is seeding over stunning poke-cloches of velvet, felt and batter's plush, the brims of which are faced with fur. Accompanying these brimmed hats are cavat neckpieces which match the fur facing of the brim. As will be seen by this picture, muffs are large or small, flat or round. In fact they are of every variety, some of flat ones sporting perky bows of the fur. The fur set to the left in the illustration is of black caracul, and it features a matching pocketbook. The other "swanky" set is of light-brown pony and it is worn with a dark-brown velvet ensemble costume. JULIA BOTTOMLEY E, A FUR COAT T RICHLY FURRED? The smart thing about many of the new fur coats is that they have adopted a fabrielle styling. This is especially true of the fashionable thir supply furs which are handled like cloth. That is, they are made to tie in little bow effects at neck and wrists. Collars are especially smart and becoming, often handled in a "dressmaker way," also furs are seamed together as any material would be. Then, too, it adds to the zest of the vogue that there are so many heretofore unknown types now included in the furs we wear. No less interesting are modern cloth treatments. Not only are fabrics manipulated in artful seamings, inlays, tuckings and such, but imagination is given full play when it comes to the positioning and designing of the luxurious fur trims. Two rivals are posed side by side in the picture. Both the seat model to the left and the fur-trimmed black broadcloth to the right are conservative types such as appeal to the wom an who dresses in quiet elegance Canary-colored dyed ermine enliven the handsome seal coat. As to the other model, it accepts the smartness of black broadcloth for the winter wrap, also the vogue for the voluminous shawl c. lillar. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 100 years of universal discriminational and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights they by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak up despite to right the wrongs of many. File Wheeler Wilcoy. "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 more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. The Truth! What would cause other people to grish their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves 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.

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.

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the male children of such person so injured, if found. If such children are of legal age, 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 or 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 involved in any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283.

(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 compulsion against the county 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: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must 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 enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; the General Code of Ohio: Sec. 129.129 (WHQ 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety dollars, 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 the county where the imposition 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 outry for the passage of 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 of The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Brother, you letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that was going on in its own town, there would be no occasion for criticism editorially. HA OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. R. C. Grant FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a whim Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. uding It r Reading It
