New York.—Damned, ignoramuses, clever politicians, buccaneers, ogres, shell-game artists and contemptible betrayers are some of the epithets applied by Prof. Allison Davis to leaders of the race in his article, entitled "The Negro Deserts His People," as printed in the January issue of "Plain Talk" magazine. The writer is a radice of Washington, D.C., a graduate of Williams College and Harvard University, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and now professor and head of the English department at Hampton, Va., Institute. In his article, he says: obtained a home in spite of his real estate agent. The Remedy. "Thrown in the midst of a developed and relentlessly competitive civilization we can hope to take our proper share in American opportunities only by refashioning and directing our southern masses. Negro business must not expect to run solely or principally upon the profit motif; the Negro professional classes must not refuse to put their training into the work of developing the people. So long as our upper class prospers by keeping these masses Damped in Its Leaders. Damned in Its Leaders. "The Negro has been a race damned in its leaders since the days when the overseer demoralized any group loyalty by giving his favor to the treacherous. A whole people, however, can scarcely be made or broken by its self-styled leaders. We have come in spite of the Negro's dull, full-paunched soldiers-out of their own blood, but from the ideals set up by the upper class which has developed in the last 20 years. It will be understood that I am not speaking of those producers, scientists, writers, composers, scholars—who are making the Negro's contribution to the civilization of America. Their achievements, wrought out in quiet and isolation, justify both themselves and the race. I am speaking of the mass of ministers, lawyers, doctors, school teachers, real estate sharpers, business men and society women whose contribution is limited to furcoats, Packards, armchair solutions of the race problem, football classes and fraternity dances. I am saying, that in just half a century they have forgotten the tragedy of the Negro in the South, and that the ideals they have pursued for our youth are the most pernicious influence in our life today. School and Fraternal Heads. School and Fraternal Heads. "Our school and college administrators and our fraternal heads are the chief offenders in the South. Negro college presidents, with a few notable exceptions, would be jokes, if they were not exerting so harmful an influence upon our younger generation. One class of such presidents run colleges as a good business proposition to fill the members' own pockets. They are perpetrating on intellectual crime upon our eager students. The second group are the heads of land-grant 'colleges.' They are almost without exception, ignoramuses or clever politicians, who whisper from the white state officials. One of the great, tragic ironies of Negro life is the spectacle of a hopeful and energetic youth in the hands of these 'educators.' Of the fraternals there is no need to speak. They are the great shell-game of the South, as stupendous a money-making hoax as the Klan. The Doctors and Lawyers. "The Doctors and Lawyers. "For our doctors, medicine is the shortest and surest route to money and social position. Our young physicians get their start by prescribing dope and nostrums for the slum Negroes, taking their money with no serious effort to help them. The free clinics and wards of our hostels are butcher shops, where our frankly uneducated doctors cure their contempt for the poor. I diseased blacks. Not even the assurance of financial success can lure our physicians from the large cities to the millions of Negroes in the South who are without hospital or medical service. In the most progressive southern state, North Carolina, eighty-four per cent of the Negro children are today delivered by midwives. The slogan of the average Negro lawyer is, 'Get all they have.' He lives on the ignorance of the common Negro, frightening him by the bugaboo of the law into paying out his last cent. The largest share of his spoils comes from the settlement of estates. Since Negroes, especially of the poor and rural classes, are likely to make no will, the fear of the Negro lawyer as an executor is proverbial throughout the South. The Real Estate Operator. "The Negro real estate operator, in certain circumstances, his white employer, has succeeded in making groves pay the highest prices for the least desirable property, thereby forcing their living wage still farther down. He is the most unabashed of all those who exploit the Negro. He has done nothing to improve the Negro's credit and everything to betray him to the white sharper. In the case of a Negro with a cancer and, in the popular fancy an ogre. It is added proof of the perseverance of the Negro that he has obtained a home in spite of his real estate agent. The Remedy. "Thrown in the midst of a developed and relentlessly competitive civilization, we can hope to take our proper share in American opportunities only by refashioning and directing our southern masses. Negro business must not expect to run solely or principally upon the profit of the professional must not refuse to put their thinking into the work of developing the people. So long as our upper class prosperbs by keeping these masses poor and suppressed, it is distinctly a menace to the future of the Negro. The white man chuckles to see us pride ourselves upon our attainment of comfort and relaxation like his. 'Safely stowed!' Booker T. Washington's economic panacea made those Negroes who are above serf just what the white man wants them — comfortable and safe. The Negro as a result has developed few or no man in the South the masses have steadily lost courage and given up hope of such central necessities as the ballot and justice from the law. Danger to Young People. "The greatest danger today is that our young people will be modeled by this grasping and spiritless barricading of women and women of marked ability come out of college only to be disillusioned by the stagnation of this upper class and, worse, then to fall gradually in to its way of life. This upper class of the near future ought to be stimulated to accept the challenge which the present generation has ignored. The challenge has a more vital basis than the urge toward 'service' and humanitarian uplift; it is the urge for a development of a great people. There ought to be some organized effort of this younger generation to refashion the aims of Negro life and to apply them to the life of the masses." WHAT WE LACK IN BUSINESS! The Technique Absolutely Necessary to Success—"Blow-bagging" A Great Hindrance. Washington, D. C.—Returning to Washington after an absence of several years, Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, son of U. S. Senator Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi who wed a Miss Wilson of Cleveland, O., many years ago, appeared before the Mu-So-Lit club, one evening last week, and delivered a most interesting talk on the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments of New York City. Mr. Bruce is the resident manager of this $3,000,000 project and is also a director of the Paul Laurence Dunbar National Bank, located in the building, at 150th St. and Eighth Ave. With lantern slides and a graphic word description of each, Mr. Bruce entertained a number of visitors and Washington friends. In speaking of the bank, Mr. Bruce said among other things: "It is far simpler and easier, of course, to establish and operate a grocery store or a fish and meat market or a haberdashery or a ladies' dress goods store than any kind of bank. Less capital is required; the technique is less exacting. And yet, in our Harlem (the city) today a man can buy nine-tenths of 200,000 Negro consumers — nobody can be exact about it — buy groceries, fish and meat, men's furnishings, ladies' dress goods and the like from white storekeepers. That is today, the business men who sell consumers' goods to Negro Harlem are by a very overwhelming majority not Negroes. Our men and women lack capital. We lack credit facilities. Above all, we lack the technique essential to any business. How and what are they and display and sell those things are fundamental. But, only a very, very few of us have mastered these vital problems. More and more we are placing a deservedly high premium upon business achievement, and praise to the National Negro Business League. Many a trained and talented man or woman breaks away from the unfailing but inadequate salary and the dignified lock-step of public school teaching in commercial schools only to find that these adventurous tasks apply unexpectedly searching tests to all one's intellectual and moral powers". TWELVE HARMON AWARDS GRANTED To Our Men and Women—Gold and Bronze Medals with $8000 in Honoraria Given for Creative Work. New York City.—Twelve Afro-Americans were accorded recognition, Jan. 3, '29, for creative work in the third year of the series of the Harmon Foundation's awards for distinguished achievement among our people. Judges in each of the fields of Literature, Fine Arts, Business including Industry and Education named recipients for an award of a gold medal with $400 honorarium, and a bronze medal with $100 honorarium. In religious service, we gave gold medal and $400 honorarium, and one bronze award with $100 honorarium were granted; in music, a bronze award only was given. And no awards were made in science. Recognition is given only for achievement which is of national significance and which measures favorably with the best that has been done in that particular field by any race or nationality: Claude McKay, age 38, formerly of New York, poet and novelist, was granted the gold medal with $400 in literature for his power, skill and originality in both poetry and prose. Nella Larsen Imes, age 35, of this city, received a bronze award with $100 in literature for achievement shown in her novel "Quicksaid" published in 1928. Hilda Mottley, Jr., age 27 of Chicago, was accorded a gold medal and $400 in fine arts for his artistic ability particularly shown in an oil painting. Mrs. May Howard Jackson, age 51, of Washington, D. C., received the bronze award with $100 in fine arts for work in sculpture. S. W. Rutherford, age 62, also of Washington, D. C., received the gold medal and $400 award in business for his sound management and leadership in the insurance business. Frederick Masslash, age 36, of Philadelphia, Pa., was granted the bronze medal and $100 in business for outstanding work in building engineering, especially concrete construction. N. W. Work, age 62, of Tuskegee Ala. Institute received the award of a gold medal and $400 in education for scholarly research and educational publicity through his periodic compilation and publication of the Negro Year Book and his recent exhaustive "Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America". John M. Gandy, age 58, president of the Virginia State College, Ettricks, Va., received the award of a bronze medal and $100 in education for developing his institution from a non-accredited school to one offering a four year course in high school education; a two year normal course and a four year college course with "A" in their Ivy League. J. Harold Brown, age 26, director of music, Attucks High School, Indianapolis, was granted the bronze award in music for the earnestness of his work and its wide range, especially in orchestration. The two gold awards in religious service with $400 honoraria accompanying each, were granted to Rev L. K. Williams, age 57, of Chicago for his development of M. Olivet Baptist church, one of the largest institutional churches in America, and leadership of the Afro-American Baptists; and to Rev. James S. Russell, age 71, of Lawrenceville, Va., archeacon of the diocese of southern Virginia, for his outstanding work as a missionary minister and administrator in the development of church missions and a parish school in Virginia. Rev. Channing H. Tobias, age 66 of York, a secretary of the national "Y" council, was given a bronze award with $100 honorarium for his leadership of our men and boys. LIKES "THE OLD RELIABLE". Cleveland, O. Jan. 5, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith—I have just read the Dec. 22nd issue of The Gazette which you were so kind as to send me. In spectacular fashion week after week, you courageously attack deeply intrenched racial abuses; you advocate sound reforms; you scourge unethical men from public life. Like Greeley of the Tribune, your personality dominates your every page. No doubt even a man of your status and ability is discouraged at times because of apprehension of the birth of your realism for all that you are doing for them. However, Lincoln realized the importance, responsibility and dignity of an Oswald G. Villard and a Harry C. Smith when he said: "He who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions!" Most cordially and sincerely yours, Nathan Friedman. Wins $250 Prize. New York City.—A painting of the spiritual, "Swing Low Sweet Charity", by Malvin Gray Johnson, age 32, of this city, won the special prize of $250 in the exhibit of work of our artists which is being held here under the auspices of the Harmon Foundation, in co-operation with the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches.

Myers, George and Gregg—Disgraceful Segregation and Discrimination at the City Hospital. Colored Investigators Told It's Not Practiced in Hospital A delegation (Mrs. L. L. Gibson, N. L. McGhee, Dr. U. S. Tarter and Chas. W. White) of colored investigators, headed by Councilmen E. J. Gregg and Clayborne George, met yesterday with City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and charged that segregation was being practiced at City Hospital. Investigators went through the hospital, Saturday, and found three out of 35 divisions in which colored patients and white patients were not in the same rooms. Supt. P. J. McMillian and he had shown them 23 divisions of the hospital in which colored and white patients were occupying the same rooms. Hopkins told the delegation it was not the intention of the city to segregate patients on account of color.—Plain Dealer, Jan. 5, '29. Cleveland, Jan. 5, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My Dear Harry. — A little more vindication for us. There IS segregation at the City hospital and I have the proof! Irving Graves, an employee of mine, told the City hospital for eight weeks, in Division 11, sixth floor, and as no time was there a white patient in that ward (Division) or in the smaller ward across the hall. Aside from this, Mr. George (Councilman), at my home on Tuesday night, when we talked this matter over, brought out the fact that, so far as he was able to see, there was not a single colored employee in discrimination, added to this. What makes it worse is that St. Luke's, "Charity", Lakeside, Huron Rd., the Cleveland Clinic and Mt. Sinai hospitals, all have Negro employees by the score, and many in responsible positions, too, this place (the City hospital) which we are taxed to help maintain and support, the sole one to discriminate in hiring them. The city manager (Hopkins), some day, will wake up and give us credit for being "ahead of the show". Our present satisfaction is our reward. Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: There appeared in the columns of your paper on Jan. 5, Page 17, an article entitled "Segregation Is Denied." Having heard the administration side of the affair, a matter we considered confidential, we take it that the public will be interested in hearing the side of the investigators. In the first place, the committee that made the investigation did not visit 35 divisions. The committee visited only twelve divisions and found the following: In most divisions the committee found no appearance of segregation. In one division it found a modified form of segregation. In Divisions 16, 2 and 15 it found bold and fragrant segregation. In Division 16 there was not a single colored patient in the ward. What colored patients were in that division were in rooms to themselves. The senior nurse stated very easily that they were all been in that division and it had been the common practice to separate white and colored patients and whenever by reason of circumstances they were mixed the first opportunity to separate them was taken advantage of. In Division 2 the committee found conditions the same as in Division 16. The head nurse stated that it had been the practice ever since she had been there to separate white and colored patients. She said that colored patients being of the same race had been placed to themselves. Mon were placed to themselves. When asked of what nationality those patients were in the ward, she stated that they were Italian, Polish, Hungarian and American. There was not a single colored patient in that ward. In Division 15 the investigators found no colored patients in the ward. The senior nurse stated that whenever possible she would put the colored patients in rooms to themselves. She further said that whenever it was necessary to put colored patients in the room a screen was placed between their oeds. When asked what this was done she stated because of difference in color. During the interview with Mr. McMillan, superintendent, he stated that he was short of help in that interview and nurses and attendants off by reason of stinkness and further said that nurses could not be found to fill their places. Yet colored nurses (and "Nerro" in City hospital and of all the help in THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bone dome circulation in Ohio, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country.

Dear Harry.—The committee that waited on City Manager! W. R. Hopkins anent the City hospital segregation and discrimination was as follows: Gregg, George, Charley White. Mrs. L. J. Gibson, Rev. Boone, Norman McGhee and a representative from U.N. M. (Grayeyes). Alex. H. Martin and Rev. D. O. Walker were invited, but did not go. Rev. Walker is unalterably opposed to a "jim-crow" hospital here. He so declared from his pupil, yesterday A. M. and the congregation by a rising vote endorsed his position and pledged their support and loyalty. (I was there). Gregg is still urging a separate hospital. He seems obsessed with that southern "jim-crow" idea. Stress the non-employment of any of our people in the City hospital. City Manager Hopkins is such a stickler on "quota", he should give us our "quota" of employees at the City hospital. Very truly yours, George A. Myers. HAITIAN WORKERS PRO- TEST U. S. TERRORISM Port-au-Prince, Haiti. — The following statement was issued, Jan. 2, 29, by the Haitian Patriotic Union of Port-au-Prince: "Three of our bravest workers in our struggle against U. S. intervention in Haiti and all Latin America, Elle Gerlin, George Petit and Jacques Romain, editors of our new and militant paper, 'Le Petit Impartial', have been brutally arrested by the Yankee assistant chief of police, Gen. Bill Cohn, with a gang of his men (U. S. marines), and failed for protesting against the vile policy and race prosecution. U. S. imperialism. "The charge against them is that they published 'outrageous', but true articles against President Louis J. Borno, exposing the grafting of the high Haitian clergy, composed of over 300 French and six Haitian priests; also exposes of numerous crimes and burglaries committed by the U. S. marines and marine officers in Haiti from July 27, 1915 to Nov. 1, 1928. The arrest followed the publication in 'Le Petit Impartial' of Nov. 1, of the picture of our heroic resistance against the vile policy committed on a tree, and of Benoit Batraville, cut in pieces. These atrocities were committed on Oct. 24, 1518, at the town of Mirabalas, 170 miles from Port-au-Prince, by U. S. Col. Hooker and a band of Yankee marines, using machine guns, gas bombs, airplanes and so forth, to destroy the Haitian people. SCORE LYNCH MURDER! And Race Prejudice — Other "Nations" Picture of Christianity in America". Memphis, Tenn. — Four speakers at the international missionary conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, joined with the college of bishops, Jan. 2, in assertions that race prejudice, and mob law in particular, had retarded the progress of Christianity, and the South, too, that race prejudice had ledlege adopted a resolution opposing lynching after Dr. Frank S. Onderdonk, sup't. of the Texas-Mexican mission, in an address referred to the burning of Charley, Shepherd convict-murderer in Mississippi, Dec. 31, and three other speakers had alluded to racial problems. There are many, Dr. Onderdonk said, "who are not African-American, but can't keep from being burned in America". Occurrences similar to the Mississippi lynching, he said, give other nations "their picture of Christianity in America". Blocton, Ala., News. Mr. R. Hayden of Chattanooga is visiting his father, Rev.

Just when all were rejoicing that only nine human beings were lynch- murdered in our “free” republic in 1928, the great, tolerant, Christian, Democratic state of Mississipp! brought the number of them up to eleven, on Dec. 31, '28—five, instead of three, in one year for U. S. Sena- for Pat Harrison's bailiwick! The last man for 1928 was burned at the stake and Gov. Bilbo has no “time or money to investigate 2,000 people”. Well, it's no surprise that a state Mke that stands at the foot of the Ast im all those respects by which social well-being is mieasured. How long will Americans be disgraced by even ome lynch-murder in a year? Slit INVENTIONS THAT SHAPE HISTORY. While politicians talk, invention oes on changing the face of human affairs. The first of two recent, 1n- ventions to come to public notice is good. The successful printing of an entire newspaper on paper made trom pulp of corn stalks is likely to do more for the farmers of the corn Delt than Hoover and Smith and all theit promises put together. It is also Ikely to do more to spare our forests and help the process of re- forestration catch up with destruc- tion than all the efforts of those who have warned us against the dangers of the ruthless destruction of forests. ‘The second invention, unless by chance it helps to scare us into pecce is of no such admirable sort. We refer, of course, to the announce ment of Dr. H. I. Jones that a new Polson gas named cacodyl isocyanide Already known to the chief ‘govern- ments of the world “is a deadly pol- son which would destroy armies as a man might snuff out a candle.” In the event of any large scale war, of course the governments will use this as, in spite of paper agreements to the contrary. Our hope lies in butld- ing peace, in killing the tiger of war, not in trying to file down his teeth. — FIFTY YRARS! The Loulsville (Ky.) American Baptist, always edited and owned by our longtime friend and contfrere, ‘Wm. H. Steward, one of our oldest and most highly respected residents of that city, entered its fiftieth year of continuous publication with its fasue of last week. “Like all of our really loyal publications, the Amer!- can Baptist has rendered our people {and the great Baptist Church) in- valuable service without anything near like adequate returns. It has been. practically “a labor of love” in the case of Editor and Publisher Steward as with the others sa to. This we can and do attest. THElr only reward, in life, is the conscious- ness of work well done which to them suffices if it does not thoroly satisty, Fifty years is a long period of time and for forty-six of those years, the editor of “The Old Rell- able” Gagette can and does bear tes- timony tothe fact that Editor Stew- ard and the American Baptist have ever been loyal, faithful and wise in their advocacy of all things bene- ficial to the race (and the Baptist Church). Sincerest congratulations, Jongtime friend, for you and youre, and best wishes for many more years of service with larger and bet- ter returns from a people that are slow, entirely too slow, and back- ward in showing appreciation to the best. of their own. If this race of ours has furnished any martyrs to ths cause, they are its newspaper pub- Ushers in the last fitty years. BETTER THAN NOTHING.

On the oth- of hand he will be a very stupid ad- vocate of peace, indeed, who cannot use the treaty as psychologically a reat point of vantage in fighting War. After ages of glorifying war it {sa striking thing that the nations should solemnly renounce it. Hence the ratification of the treaty is de- irable without encumbering it with further reservations obviously de- signed to stifle it. The dnly reser- vation for which there seems to be any need or excuse is a declaration that the United States does not ac- cept in advance any obligation to go to war with a nation which may be presumed to have broken the treaty. Sven such a reservation as this is not necessary on the face of the treaty and ought not to be pressed it it will cause trouble. Its tmportance fes in the tact that already opinion in Europe in certain quarters has jumped to the conclusion that the Kellogg Pact Indirectly commits us to an obligation to enforce peace which we have not accepted directly. Perhaps the weightlest argument for the ratification of the treaty is that the failure of our Senate to approve it will vastly increase European sus- picion and distrust of America. Any future administration will be impo- tent to take any initiative for world Deace for fear of the Senate. Let the U. 8. Senate therefore ratity the treaty and release the energy of Peace forces for those constructive activities that can save it from be- coming a mere pious New Year's res- olution soon to be broken, S'MORE HOPKINS HOKUM. ‘The members of the committee that investigated conditions at the City hospital and those of the one that called on City Manager Will R. Hopkins, to enter a vigorous protest against the insulting segregation and discrimination in vogue at the hos- pital, are entitled to the thanks of our people of the entire community. Their reports will be found else- where in this paper. They show that Hopkins and his subordinate, Dr. Dudley S. Blossom, are guilty as charged! Both ought to be removed from office at the first opportunity. They show unmistakably that they fare unfit to serve ALL the people in ‘a law-abiding and proper manner and show it beyond all question or doubt by the flagrant insults and de- nlals of citizen-taxpayers’ rights and privileges in their control and con- duct of that public institution, the City hospital. Hopkins’ denial of the existence of segregation at the place and Blossom’s insulting state- ment of many months ago, to a com- mittee of our citizens that called upon him, that segregation would be continued there in spite of anything we said or did, ought to make every red-blooded Afro-American in this community start now to help hasten another charter election which will help us to get rid of Hopkins hokum and Blossom brass, TROOPS MURDER. 1400 WORKERS Some Buried Alive—Dum-dum Bul- lets Used—“American Methods Washington, D.

The Colombian government's official report admitted that its troops had murdered 200 workers, but stories of eye-witnesses, given by the Co- lombian, newspaper, “El Liberal”, show that nearly 1,400 workers were killed and 2,009 wounded by the Co- lombian soldiers at the behest of the United Fruft Company.

Walker, denounced in the strongest terms the "jim-crow Negro" doctors and others who advocate a "jim-crow" hospital for Cleveland. A rising vote of the congregation showed unmistakably its opposition to any such harmful thing for our people of this community, and to the colorline segregationists doctors should take the money they spend for "hooch" and other kinds of "booze" and start a private hospital of their own, if they must have one, and sure "knocked them for a goal". Councilman Clayborne George protested at Monday night's City Council meeting against "the wholesale arresting and finger printing of the police," a recent "Roaring Third" roundup. "I don't want anyone to have the impression that I'm making a brief for real crooks." George said, "nor is my protest inspired by the fact that 95 per cent of those arrested were colored people." This last, unnecessary, Clayborne. They knew you did not mean it. Councilman Fleming and George of "the crooks" sat in their seats silent as the wooden Indians that years ago adorned the front steps of cigar stores. A delegation of our people, headed by Councilman Clayburn George and E. J. Gregg, called on City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, late last Friday, to protest against the segregation of our patients prevalent at City hospital. They told Hopkins that on Monday they found three divisions each containing 25 to 40 patients in which there were none of our people. Further, they asserted three nurses told them, it was "customary to house Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Randolph 5870 Sundays by Appointment STOP! STOP! WHY DON'T YOU PAUSE THERE - DON'T YOU SEE IT'S MARKED 'REST?' BAM BAM BAM "Negro" patients in one section and white patients in another". In the face of this Hopkins, Welfare Director Dudley "Segregation" Blossom and Parker J. McMillen, superintendent of the hospital, "had the nerve" to declare that segregation is not the rule (and will not be). McMillen produced a list of 23 rooms in which both patients of both races were quartered but could not say as much for the others because of their segregation. By the way, has any one from Tommy the mean Councilman Tom Fleming. Where does he stand in this matter. Ask him! Mrs. Elhora Craig, E. 85th St., whose reputation as a hostess de laux is so thoroly established and generally recognized in this community, entertained a few old friends of hers and her guest. Wednesday evening, in honor of Lonia V. Jones, violinist, and son of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones, of Drexel Ave., who is in old home from Paris, France, few weeks ago, to visit his parents and many friends and acquaintances in this country. St. John's Octette, an excellent organization, capably directed by Russell B. Scott with Mrs. Scott at the piano and including Attty John. E. Ballard, and with Marian L. Coprich doing splendid violin obligato work, sang beautifully "Bells of St. Mary" "Sweeten the Moments," the famous Louise Coprich played "Son of Puszta" by Keller Bela and "Sous Bois" by Victor Staub, and Mrs. Kathleen Forbes, pianist, gave "Butterfly" by Greig, both playing brilliantly. Among the thirty in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. Jones and the editor of The Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. at whose residence the very successful man as given, were most gracious indeed in assistance of Mrs. Craig who has every reason in the world to feel proud of a social function that is rarely indeed equaled in this city. Left $100,000 to Flsk. Nashville, Tenn.—Prof. James Dallas Burrus, age 82, the first Afro-American to take a bachelor of arts degree in a southern college, who died of a heart attack on a street car here, Dec. 5, left about $100-000 to Fisk University. He was a graduate of Fisk, taught school, then obtained work surveying in the White Mountains of New Hampshire but gave it up to start a drug store in Nashville. Later he began investing in property.

BIG IMPORTANCE w OFTIRE FLAP —— ‘There |is probably no part of a preu- matic ‘gs little understood or ap- preciated as the fisp, and yet its 1m- portance can be hardly overestimated, ‘The use of a correctly designed flap, properly applied in the casing, will in- ware full and satisfactory service from the tube, while an incorrectly de- signed flap or improper application of the correct Sap is certain to result in Gamage to tubes, casings and dispo- sitions, =~ Function of Fiap. ‘The function of a flap is to protect the inner tube from injury by the bead toes and by the rim. This it does by forming a continuation of the smooth inner surface of the casing, against which the inner tube inflates from a point above the bead, dowo across the rim and up to @ corre sponding beight on the opposite bead. ‘In straightside tires for passenger cars the flap is supplied separately, since it bas been found that “ce- mented in” flaps such as are furnished 1m motorcycle tires, soon work loose, om account of the heat generated by these’ larger tires, and become disio- cated to such an extent as to cause tube pinching. ‘The “floating” flaps supplied in most makes of tires of stralghtside type represent the highest development of this product. They are made of several plies of rubber. ised fabric, and in some makes are covered on the tube side with a layer of cantun flannel, which is turned back over each edge and permanently vul- eanized to the main body of the flap. ‘The flaps are vulcanized into the con- cave shape they assume when mounted ‘tm the casing and are provided with « Tound hole in one end and a slot in the other to allow for proper length adjustment. Thelr edges. are “f2a tured” and cannot chafe the tube. Flap Property Fitted. ‘To Gt properly, the flay must reach to @ point on the Inside of the casing, approximately ‘even with the top of the rim flanges. If the flap is so wide ‘that the edges come above this point, the Bap edges have been known to eut into the casing. the tube follow. ing, resulting in a ruined tire. On the ‘other hand; if the flap 1s too arrow, there ts great danger of one or both of these edges belng folded under, ‘when the tire is muunted on the rim. ‘This witt quickly lead to tube pinching. Ts applying the flav, the end hav. ‘mg the round hole must in every in- stance be placed ever the valve first and the slotted end last, thus permit- ing the fap to adjust itself circum- ferentially. Failure to observe this procedure is almost certain to result te Gamage to the tube. j AUTOMOBILE NOTES ¢ ‘When buying spark plugs, be sure to mention the make of the car and tts articular model. cee: It amounts to this then: ‘The more Patience in trae, the fewer traffic Datlents 4 see By and by kindly snow will come and cover up the debris left at the Sourist camps by the tourists.

Baptist church, Chaplain T. 0. Reed of the Ohio penitentiary repeated his contention that Joseph Weaver, now in death row awaiting execution for participation in the murder of Jasper Russell, a Cleveland wateh- man, is innocent of the crime tor which he was convicted. Meanwhile, his attorneys, Nathan E. Cook and Wm. F. Marsteller, are asking the Ohio supreme court for leave to file a petition in error, Inasmuch as the evidences of doubt continue unabdat- ed, the contemplated legal move ought to meet with success. Chaplain Reed's plan’ to interest the Federation ot Women’s Clubs of Ohio in a campaign to obtain com- mutation of sentence for Weaver correct step. If Weaver is guilty, commutation is not warranted. If he is innocent, he should be | freed. Should grave doubt continue to exist in the minds of those who were close- ly connected with the case and are thoroughly conversant with all its de- tails, Weaver should be granted a new trial. Life imprisonment is hardly a sensible “compromise _be- tween the death penalty and completo freedom. But so long as the element of doubt troubles not only his legal rep- resentatives, giving of their time without hope of remuneration, but also an experienced prison chaplain, Weaver's execution would be a grave miscarriage of justice, If the death penalty Is to continue as an offective deterrent against crimes of violence, it cannot be au- thorized when there lurks even the faintest suspicion that a condemned man is actually guiltless. In the Weaver ease there Is obviously more than a susplelon:—-Editorial, Cleve- land Dally News, Dec, 21, ‘28, Weaver has been steadily dented a new trial hecause of a legal techni- cality: Because his attorneys Ald not apply for it immediately after his conviction. The common pleas court, the court of appeals and the Ohio state supreme court have all refused him a new trial (the first two a second time) and All for the same reason. There is now more, stronger and better evidence of his Innocence than there ever was of his alleged guilt: Alex, Maynor's sworn confession that Weaver was not with him when the crime was cominitted, and the fact that the night-wateh- man’s clock which he used to ring in with, ev~y hour, showed that he Was alive at least a half-hour or more after the time street-car employees testified (at the trial) they saw May- nor and Weaver on a street-car the night of the murder, coming from the Midland Products Co. plant. Weaver is innocont of the charge, Just as Alex. Maynor, confessed mur- derer, now swears, and should either be granted a new trial by the state supreme-court, something we do not look for in the light of Weaver's at- torneys’ experience In the recent past in that court, or Gov. A. V. Donahey must pardon him, Ohto cannot at- ford to electrocute an innocent man to help the Cuyahoga county prosecu- tor’s office maintain its record for convictions, for that seems to be the cause of its continued activity in the Weaver case, ever since the trial. There should be no commutation of sentence, just as The News editor says, Weaver, an innocent man, must be given his freedom, either as the result of a new trial or thru pardon by the Governor. His execution would be more than “a grave miscarriage of Justice”. This state cannot afford and we do not believe it will permit such a blot on its escutcheon. Our people, at least, should never cease writing Gov. A. V. Donahey, State House, Columbus, O., requesting him to par- don Joseph Weaver, until that Inno- cent man is given the freedom and liberty he has been deprived of now for more than a year. It will be dif- ficult to find a stronger or better ar- gument, against a continuance of the death penalty in this or any other state of the Union. than this Joseph Weaver case, Write Gov. A. V.
