His arrest and trial by court martial are impending, it is reported. He had long been in ill health. During the world war, Col.

AFRO-AMERICAN OFFICIALS That Is All of the Town Officers—Mixed Teaching Force—a Woman Councilman — Great Revival Meeting. (Special to The Gazette) Rendville, O.—This mining town of 480 persons is exceptional in more ways than one. The mayor, clerk, marshall, six councilmen (one a woman), postmaster and five members of the school-board are all members of the race; five teachers (colored principal and two colored and white lady-teachers). Some showing for a village. Recently, Dr. W. A. Jackson of 432 Evans St., Greenfield, O., the only bible-symbol evangelist in the country, conducted a fifteen-day meeting here which was his usual unequalized success. intense interest was manifested by this entire community, and the following resolution was unanimously adopted at the last service: Whereas, the evangelist, Dr. W. A. Jackson, bible symbolist, has labored among us from April 1 to April 15, and Whereas, he has preached the gospel in all its purity and forcefulness, endeavoring to enlighten those who were in darkness, and edify the church, and Whereas, those who have been constant attendants on his ministrations, all admit the benefit which they have received: Resolved, that Graham Chapel A. M. E. church, at this closing service of Dr. Jackson's campaign, begs to express its appreciation of his exceptional services, and prays God's blessings upon him as he leaves to go to other destinations to minister to others, him himself, in saving many souls.

In Many Parts of the Country—Editor Dabney's "Hot Shot"—Moton and Bruce Are Bank Directors—Etc. The widow of Bert Williams (comedian) died, several weeks ago, leaving $10,000 to three nieces. Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, Ala., has been elected a director of the Dunbarn National Bank of Harlem, N. Y. City. Roscoe C. Bruce is our other one. Of the $174,949.92 raised to date for the Price Memorial Fund of Salisbury, N. C. College, a Zion A. M. E. institution, $58,049.92 has been contributed by our people. The W. Va. State Assembly has just appropriated $625,000 for W. Va. State College, former W. Va. College Institute, at Institute, the largest sum ever given that institution. They may not know it, but our contemporaries who are using that "Illustrated Feature Section" of a Chicago advertising agency are making money for it and not for themselves. Wake up! Congressman Oscar DePriest, of the first Illinois district, gave up a $5,000 a year job, as a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission, to take his present position which pays $10,000 a year. There are 124,324 Afro-American Catholics in 147 separate organizations, says the U. S. census. This is an increase of 72,636 from 1906 to 1926. There are four such separate churches in Ohio with a membership of 1411. Major Howard C. Gillbert, of Columbus, O., veteran of two wars, chief organizer and major of the 372nd Infantry, has voluntarily retired from the police force of that city following more than 26 years of active service. At a recent meeting of the police commissioners of New Rochelle, N. Y., Chester Jones, who stood near the top of the civil service examination list, was appointed to the police force of that city. He is our first there. Two "white" brutes at Eros, La., recently shot three girls of the race, killing one 15 years of age; wounding two others, one of 20 with a baby in her arms, and badly wounding their mother. After a four-day trial, they were sentenced to prison for life. A bequest of $125,000 to Tuskegee Ala. N. & I. Institute; $50,000 for the establishment of a similar school at Liberia, W. Africa; $100,-000 each to Berea Ky. College and Hampton Va. N. & A. Institute were made in the will of Miss Olivia Eggelston Phelps Stokes of N. Y. City. Charles Winter Wood of Tuskegee Institute has been made a life member of the American University club, New York City, in recognition of his unique contribution to education among "Negroes", during the past thirty years. The club is composed of graduates of the leading universities of the world. The first award of a scholarship created by Dr. Walter Gray Crump for a four years' course of study at the New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital has been made to Miss Myra Logan, twenty-one year old daughter of Mr. Warren Logan, former vice-principal and treasurer of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Crump is a trustee of Howard University and one of the race's best friends. His father was an abolitionist. "Negroes" with servile southern tendencies should not be allowed to live North, for they invariably distribute the germs of segregation, "jim-crowism", and "the inferiority complex". Those traits are inherent in some "Negroes". For a few dollars, souls are sold. In schools, hostels, or segregated institutions, their talk of race pride is a smoke screen, a camouflage to a white-folk into thinking they have the interest of the race at heart. FAKING! — The Cincinnati (O.) Union, W. P. Dabney, editor. AN APPRECIATION! Cleveland, O., April 19, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—Allow me to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for your kind editorial, as well as the news-item concerning my activities in the 88th General Assembly, appearing in the April 20th, 1929 issue of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. You have been generous at all times with words of advice and encouragement, and I am indeed glad that I have been able to merit in some measure your approval and to justify the confidence reposed in me by the electors of this county. Your own excellent record in the General Assembly and that of others of our race who have sat in the General Assembly has made my path easier and given me great inspiration. Yours very truly, Perry B. Jackson. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MILLIONS! URGES EQUAL RIGHTS AS ISSUE! THIS TO NATIONAL DEMOCRACY AND HE A NATIVE AND RESIDENT WHITE SOUTHERNER. Educator Tells a Florida Conference It Would Help Regain Strength in the South—Dr. Byrd's Felicitations. (Special to The Gazette) Winter Park, Fla.—A southern Democrat, Prof. B. B. Kendrick, of the University of North Carolina, stood up in a round-table session of the Institute of Statesmanship, meeting here, recently, under auspices of Rollin college, to discuss the future of party government in this country and declared that a revival of Democratic strength in the South is dependent upon a rededication of the party to the principle of equal rights to all, even to the "Negro". The soft, liquid accent of the speaker left no doubt that he hailed from "Dixie", even before he stated his nativity and political connections. Several score of leading politicians, publicists and political science experts from a dozen states had been weeping at the bier of the old party in a round-table on the question, "Is the Solid South Definitely Broken?" and making suggestions for the revival of the deceased. Professor Kendrick said: "We can rededicate the Democratic party in support of equality and not special privilege. If we can, we will no longer have an inferiority complex. Then we can go North, East and West and say, 'Come with us, for the sake of men and women everywhere'. Men and women, not only our fellow Anglo-Saxons, but ALL the people, because, after all, we are all akin. This recent immigration, and the rest included, that they too may not be exploited, and that they may not be "NYC" many of whom also have some of our blood in them. That is not a myth, it is true. 'Our own brothers, be ashamed to exploit them', that has become the message of the Democratic party. Then we might call it a party of equal rights to all and special privilege to none, as conceived in terms of 1929". Dr. Byrd to Prof. Kendrick. Jersey City, N. J., March 29, '29. Prof. B. Kendrick. University of North Carolina, Chanel Hill, N. C. My dear Sir:—Please allow me to congratulate you upon your far-searing remedy offered the national Democratic party for its rehabilitation. You have come forth in its day of crisis with the only remedy for making it a great party, drawing from every state of the union. I am a Republican, but I do not feel it fatiety to call you the "Abraham Lincoln," but I am interested in the democratic and Republican parties are practically one, as far as issues are concerned, for the church and prohibition issues are not peculiar to either. The human element has left both, for material prosperity is put above human welfare and human life. The severing of long-standing friendships with a hypocritical stand on the liquor question caused the results of 1928. This great nation of ours has lost its passion for human rights and its intergalactic godwill. The cold-blooded acquisition of the dollar is the chief aim of our present political system and for this, regardless of race, the masses must be made to do the bidding of the political machine. Equal rights have flown from our government, in its administration. Your fearlessness in stating the truth touching all races—especially the "Negro"—makes you the "Lincoln" of the hour. Your program must be the program of this nation, if it would maintain its safety. No man is better prepared to lead the nation than you who will stand on southern soil. in this hour of doubt and dismay among southern Democrats, you and your party can become the great party of America if they are big enough and wise enough to stand upon your program—equal rights for all! Should you lead this party now and in 1932 I pledge you that I and millions of others will follow you. And you, like Lincoln, will win. Allow me to congratulate you upon your plea for "Negroes". There is a deep and affectionate relationship existing between the whites and blacks of the South, which has been greatly lessened by a political system that, in denying equal rights to "Negroes has denied equal rights to Negroes and has denied equal rights to peebholding the physical appearance of whites and "Negroes" in this country will see at a glance that the two races are kin.

If the blood of the Indian in our Vice-President adds strength to him, why should the blood of the "Negro", mixed with that of the Anglo-Saxon, make any man ashamed? True it is that when the South is unjust to the "Negro" it is brutalizing its brother in more ways than one. If the Democratic party is not ready to launch your program now, and if you like Lincoln, we say go to it, and the real citizens of America will be with you. Very respectfully yours, "Rev." Wm. A. Byrd. CURRY HEADS "JIM CROW" DIVISION! Ohio's Color-Line Governor Finally Finds a Suitable Place for Him —Our Turn, Next Year, in the Fall. (Special to The Gazette) Springfield, O.—Rev. E. W. Curry, pastor of the Second Baptist church, has been appointed to head the "jim-crow" branch of the new parole and probaion division just established in the state welfare department of Columbus. The duties of this division will involve aiding counties, where no probation system is in effect, to establish this work, and to compile data on those counties in which it has already been started. Curry will continue in the service of the Second Baptist church for some time yet, it is said, as he has the week-end for such work. He and his family will residence with their permanent residence while his acquaintances will be in Columbus and his line of welfare work through the state. Curry is the "Negro" who sided with the Ku Klux element of this community, several years ago, when it endeavored to saddle "jim-crow" schools upon our people here. The fight lasted about two years, and our people won it. Naturally when our color-line "Republican" governor, Myers Y. Cooper, was a candidate, last fall, Curry "hooked up" with him, and his appointment is his reward. In the last ten years, Curry has "hooked up" with the Democrats who are taken as he worked (with) Republican Curry and Cooper the two "C's", as Curry and Cooper to form" in this latest "jim-crow" branch of the new parole and probation division of the state welfare department. Next year's election, in the fall, will be our people's opportunity again and it will be exit for Cooper and Curry because there will be no Hoover candidate and election to carry the former over. It will be a repetition of the election, two years ago, last fall. A BAPTIST LEADER DEAD! Baltimore, Md.—Rev. David E. Over, D. D., pastor of Providence Baptist church, this city, died, Tuesday afternoon, after an operation at Carson's private hospital in Washington. Funeral services were held at the church here, Friday afternoon. Dr. Over was president of the Nat'l Baptist Theological Training & Missionary Seminary, Nashville, Tenn.; conductor of the Ministerial Conference Department, Sunday School Congress; member of the trustee board, and breacher of large repute. He was a native of Kansas and pastored in Denver, eighteen years.

Kluxers, of course. The organization dies hard but surely is dying. This js one of the few K. K. K. “stabs” at our people, in a year or two. ‘The U. S. Supreme court has re- versed the judgment of the Missis- hippt courts which retused to permit a Chinese child to attend a public school for white children and direct- ed that the state court dismiss the case. So it seems to be race and not color prejudice in that benfghted state. —iilt— Is the Ku Klux Klan of this city underneath the effort to bar our singers out of the Clevéland Music Festival Chorus? Ask City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins! Surely he has not linked up with that anti-Cath- clic, anti-Jew, anti-‘Negro” and anti-Foreign-born American citizen bunch. We must de in the Festival Chorus all three nights, or not at all! —ai— Whenever our attention is called to that “Fulton St. School” fight in Springfield, some years,ago, we im- mediately recall the wonderful fight our mothers of school-children of that city put up in sunshine and rain and even in bitter cold (zero) weather almost from daylight to dark for many months.

The threatened opposition of certain white congress- men from the South who arrogated to themselves the right to “place colored men” was ignored. Oscar DePriest is uot a saint and neither are his detractors. He probably is on par with the majority of the con- gressmen who make up the present Congress. Most assuredly whife men should soft pedal “congressional un- fitness” in any one. Judging Mr. De- Priest morally, intelligently and otherwise, there are no grounds to relieve that he will reflect upon the company of men he will be associa- ted with for the next two years. Our people should rally around Mr. De- Priest and help him’ bear the great burden laid upon him. He speaks in behalf of white and black citizens but he Is the only spokesman Afro- Americans have in Congress. We wish him good luck and he shall have our support. — Wh AHOY, CITY MANAGER HOPKINS! Cleveland, O., April 20, ‘29. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: — En- closed find @ brief resume and news- paper clippings, concerning the Cleveland Music Festival Chorus. After reading the list of choirs and choral societies that had been in- ‘Yited, I noticed none of our group ‘was listed. So I immediately got in touch With Mr. Williams, the con- ductor. He told me we were not in- ‘vited because we were not wanted at the rehearsal, Sunday, April 14th, as it would be Yinpossibié for us to sing on the first two nights of the Festi- val. But he had not decided what he would have on program the third evening, and if he had nationality night, we would be invited to sing the spirituals, Called Mr. George Myers and told him of the situation. He in time found that Mr. Clarence Metcalf was the manager. Mr. Myers and I both talked it over with him but he ‘laimed he couldn't do any- thing as they had simply chosen him to be manager, vtc. I then got in touch with Rev. Russell Brown, also Mrs. Clayborne George.

R. Hopkins”, said the Cleveland Press and other local daily papers, several weeks ago, “consists of Clarence 8. Metcalf, business man- ager of the Cleveland Public Library, as heading the committee; Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, houor- ary chairman, and John H.

What that man, Metcalf, told Mr. George Myers, of the Hollenden House Barber shop, last week, makes this a foregone conclusion. Council- men Brown, Gregg and George should ask the dismissal of Metealt by the Library board and the dismis- sal of that man, Whitman, by the board of education. Their prejudiced kind ought never to be permitted to hold office or positions in the public service of this city. Get busy, gen- er a REMEMBER OUR OLD FOLK! Send in Your Contributions at Once —Charlie Ross’ Splendid Work —Col. Sidney B. ‘Thomp- son's Cali! Cleveland, Apr, 22, 129. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Some- time last year the undersigned offer- ed a suggestion that there could be enough money raised to install a ra- dio in the Old Folks’ Home. Thru the assistance of Mrs. Boston J. Prince, this suggestion became ‘a reality. All the necessary equipment was not acquired, so April 8, 1929, Charlie Ross, a young man who ts an expert on radios and other elec- trical appliances, furnished the en- tire equipment necessary. The part that was most important was a bat- tery that Would eliminate charging. An A. & B. eliminator was purchased and given {o the Old Folks’ Home and the connections made, and now the inmates have an opportunity to Gnioe wadio wrasté. 1s co pete 4 2 : : | oe =e eo e . = \ Hes sa ‘ oi oy ee \ oe oe) hee Rl Foes I feel, as a promoter of this idea, that this young man should be re- imbursed for the wonderful dona- tion, and anyone who wishes to make a donation to pay for the eliminator can do so by sending it directly to the Old Folks’ Home, 4804 Cedar Ave., specifying that the sum inclos- ed is for radio parts. If those who donated to Dr. E. J. Gregg and Mr. Paul Jones, whose money was not re- ceived and has been returned to them, still wish to contribute, they also can send their donation directly to the Old Folks’ Home. Those interested can make their donations to reimburse Charlie Ross. He certainly deserves much credit, and Tam glad to know that I was associated with him in trying to do something to help our group. He is a Mberal donator to the N. A. A. C. P. and charitable organizations that help to elevate the manhood and womanhood of our group. He is still a street-worker, but a worthy patriot and defender of our rights and privileges. Yours very truly, Sidney B. Thompson, President, Caterers’ Association. DePricet Seated Without Contest. Washington, D, C.—Hon. Oscar De- Priest of Chicago took the oath o1 office, last week Monday, with 407 other members-elect at the opening of the extra session of Congress. 1 was administered by Speaker Nicho- las Longworth following his election over the Democratic candidate for speaker, Representative Jolin Gar- ner of Texas. No objection was of fered to Mr. DePriest, as generally anticipated. The dropping of the charge of conspiracy, in connection with vice and gambling concession: and elections on the south side o! Chicago, for want of evidence, Apri 13, removed the basis for the objec. tion expected to be raised.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead ana enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio ‘aw.

The Ohio law follows: BS, a. representative of victim of lynching ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st mamber of mob st another county. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

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 edi- tor had enacved while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: "The General Code of ‘Ohio: Sec. 12940.

Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- fsdiction in the county where such offense was committed. |_ This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court.

Joseph Weaver was given about 340 at the Zion Hill Baptist church meeting, last Wednesday’ evening, and $10 by the U.N. I. A., the fol lowing evening.

Also, that last Saturday evening, a few ‘triends gave him a dinner and about $3, and that he makes his last appearance, Sunday, at one of our local churches in Cedar Ave. On Monday, he intends to leave for Georgia’ to see his mother and other relatives.

Although the time limit for filing the defense briets ex- pired, March 24, because Spooner had been out of the city for some time and because of “the wide- spread publicity the Fleming ease re- ceived in the newspapers”, the briefs were filed, Monday noon. A motion to dismiss the appeal was filed by County Prosecutor Ray. TT.

May 5 to 11 has been designated as National Change Week for 1929. During that time millions of motor car owners will replace the spark plugs in their cars with new sets, having learned by experience that the practice has advantages in economy and improved engine performance. One reason why spark plugs should be changed at least once a year is shown in the accompanying photomicrographs of a spark plug's electrodes after that length of service. The center electrode is burned away. The ground electrode is likewise pitted and burned and its surface is no longer parallel to that of the center electrode. This results in a pearl spark, of no great intensity, and a gap setting altogether too wide for the spark to jump under load conditions, heavy pulls and rapid acceleration. Obviously, the corrosion means a weaker spark, a heavy loss o power and waste of fuel. Exhaustive laboratory tests have proved that each spark plung fires its 1 These photomicographs show what a spark plug looks like after firing an automobile engine twelve months. The carbon-crusted surface of the insulator and the pitted electrodes divert the current which is weakened and diffused instead of sending a hot intense spark across the gap, with the result that fuel and power are wasted. Engineers advise changing spark plugs at least once a year in automobiles and oftener in power plants of tractors, trucks and stationary engines. charge more than 20,000,000 times in driving a car 10,000 miles. The intense heat, the ravages of chemical reactions which are set up and the tremendous mechanical shock to which spark plugs are subjected in such an ordeal inevitably take their toll. The insulator becomes encrusted with bits of carbon. In time and with the aid of intense temperatures these carbon particles impregnate the surface of the insulator, causing a partial short circuit. The result in the case of the spark plug is a diffusion of current from the electrode, a consequent loss of intensity in the spark and of efficiency in engine operation. Experiments of automotive engineers have shown that changing spark plugs every 10,000 miles, or once a year, not only saves their cost in gas and oil but restores in large measure new car power, speed and acceleration, with all the pleasure that any car owner derives from these features of his motoring. THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. When and where was the first automobile race held? first automobile race held? Ans. In Chicago on November 25, 1895. Six cars started from Jackson Park to Evanston and back again. The course was 54 miles and was run under un- favorable conditions, the road oeing heavy with mud and icy slush. Charles E. Duryea won in 10 hours and 23 minutes. Two cars finished. Q. When a motorist discovers that his brakes are not function- ing 100 per cent, what should be do? Ans. He should have them checked immediately both for safety and economy. Q. How many motor vehicles are there in the United States? Ans. 24,502,370. Q. How many motor trucks are there in the United States? Ans. 3,123,774. High Compression Term Is Tersely Explain In the days of muzzle-loading cannon, the tighter the charge was packed with the ramrod the greater the force of the shot. Similarly in the high-compression engine of today the gas charge is packed into a smaller space, with the result that when the spark plugs fire the compressed mixture there is greater force or power exerted on the pistons. This greater power impact with attendant increase in heat, makes it necessary that the spark plug be of the correct type in order to avoid preignition and rapid wearing out of the plug. Another important pointer is that the plug gap should be set at .020 for high compression engines because as compression increases a greater resistance to the flow of electricity is set up and a narrower gap is necessary to enable the current to jump from one electrode to the other. Spark plugs may not deliver a spark unless the points are set at the proper gap and it is advisable to check the gap from time to time. Increased Adoption of Automobile Fuel Pump Widespread adoption of the fuel pump during the past 12 months is among the important developments that have taken place in the automotive equipment field. Prior to July, 1927, not a single car was equipped with a fuel pump of any kind. Today there are 30 users of it in this country and abroad, and this number will be greatly increased this year. It is interesting to recall that the fuel pump which had been under test for many years, made its initial appearance in 1927. At present there are three-quarters of a million cars now in service equipped with the pump. The fuel pump has really added another manufacturing activity to the industry, and its quick acceptance by many prominent car manufacturers to together with a huge increase in other business has necessitated building expansions totaling three-quarters of a million dollars. These expansions when completed early this year, will further increase production facilities which have been at capacity during 1928.

Once upon a time the separate fur neckpiece was merely a matter of fancy to wear or not to wear at one's volition. Now all is changed. The collarless coat has set up such a hue and a cry for a separate neckpiece to give it proper liness that—well there's no two ways THE CUSTOM OF WEARING FLOWERS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A FINE ART Some there are who will remain loyal to the handsome fox scarf and they certainly are arresting in their exquisitely dainty springlike colorings and new mountings. No less attractive and choice are the sable neckpieces which count several skins in their makeup mounted in unusual ways. If, however, one is looking for the novel and the unique in fur neckpieces, the mode offers them in endless variety. In the new scarfs and collaretes and capetels, it is a question which is the more novel and interesting, the furs themselves or the way they are manipulated. Only furs which are very flat and fabriclike could be worked into the curious yet charming "dressmaker" collar and scarf effects such as fashion exploits for spring and the coming summer. The group pictured is fairly representative of the new trend in separate fur neckpieces. However, it but THE CUSTOM OF W HAS BEEN BROU WHEN one arrives at transparent velvet the quest of a fabric of super-loveliness ends. It would be difficult to find any material more exquisite to touch and to sight than the exquisitely sheer colorful velvets which are laying siege to the heart of the fashionable world these days. Were these enchanting velvets less lightsome, or supple or wearable, we might have gone on holding the thought that velvet was decidedly a winter-time fabric. As it is, modern velvets have proven conclusively their eligibility for membership in the class of all-the-year-round materials. According to the opinion of those who create our styles transparent velvet is only at the beginning of its ussibilities. A widespread vogue is already assured for dainty sheer velvets in such detectable shades as sea pea, apricot, citron, tiger-lym, purple shades, straw colors, independent blue light browns, chartreuse, tangerine and a host of other equally as beguil y Your Copy or an Acqu begins to tell the story, for there are many chapters and the "plot thickens" as the season advances.

This is very new—just over from Paris. Black and white flat fur joins to make the modish scarf to the extreme left. The vogue for black and white costumes is becoming more and more pronounced. The fur kerchief which ties like a three-cornered scarf is a leader among smart neckpieces. The one in the picture is fashioned of black galyak.

The handsome evening wrap picture is fashioned of transparent velvet in the new much exploited tangerine shade. The tulips which form the boutonniere are in lovely tangerine tones, forming a perfect complement to the dark tangerine of the velvet. It is not by accident that this boutonniere tunes in so exquisitely with the coat. Fashion this season inists that flower accessories become in their coloring and general spirit an integral part of the costume. Wherefore the boutonniere or corsage is no longer chosen haphazzardy but is always selected to complement the costume either by accenting a perfect match or blend, or else just as perfect a contrast.

Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This When Councilman Russel S. Brown browt up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council, to open the local City Hospital to our girls, desiring to become trained nurses, and to our internes, Councilman Gregg objected to it saying that it was not time to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution. What do you think of that? Our boys and girls have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this city for more than fifty years. Brown is also alleged to have said that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated on the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Garry C. Cleveland. Dear Sir;—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that Rev. Brown reported such a false statement for him as a Christian gentleman. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that. I have more confidence in moral sausage and diplomacy as a means of achievement than radicalism. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for 'Negro' advancement in Cleveland" we have failed to learn of it; we have watched his career here ever since he landed, from "down home"—Editor: Brown Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, O., April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I appreciate your calling me over the telephone and apprizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg's letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the information which was the basis of your editorial but I presume you got it from some one who had talked with me and answered first, let me give you the "heart" of the resolution referred to: "That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be appointed by the mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a view of ascertaining whether full and equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions". This was discussed in a meeting among a number of friends. It was at that meeting that Dr. E. J. Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there ex- organization of white nurses which would not allow their members to work with colored nurses and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and report on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is both the hospital and right to open the City Hospital to boys and girls. This is as near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race present. Atty. Clayborn George, councilman, was also present. Please call him and ask him to relate what George could to say. Mr. George favored the resegg as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Edica George, Cleveland, Dear Mr. Smith:—In answer to your inquiry over the telephone, today, with reference to statements made by Dr. E. J. Gregg, I wish to advise that I was present at a meeting where a proposed resolution of Rev. Russell Brown was being discussed. This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Council of the City Hospital with reference to equal opportunities for people for the training of nurses and interns. According to my best collection, Dr. Gregg said that the American Association of Nurses of New York and Philadelphia objected to the training of white and colored nurses in the same hospital, and because of the attitude of the American Nurses' Association he thought the resolution was untimely. He further said to colored nurses in the City Hospital it would destroy the morale of and affect seriously the services rendered there, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregg further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the information desired, I remain, Sincerely yours, Clayborne George. Gregg's reasons for opposing the admission of our girls in the nursing school at the City Hospital are simply ridiculous and a rank insult to all of our people of this community. —Editor. GO BACK "HOME" GREGG! Councilman E. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution supported by the taxpayers of the community, among whom we number thousands, because organized prejudiced white nurses "would not work with our nurses", he says, and because "forcing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-school might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital," he continues. Now, really can you believe that a sane member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such rot, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, have mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as for the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways". Harry C. Smith. GREGG'S LATEST Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, April 15, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now advocating a "jim-crow" hospital for this city, but one on the East-side of the city, the majority of its official personnel (those in charge of it) to be "Negroes". Such an institution would do the same harm that a "jim-crow" hospital would, because ALL "Negro" patients that went to the other hospitals in the city, as they do now, would be sent to Gregg's "makeshift" institution, and that would rob our people of the right to enter the other hospitals as they do now. Then, too, there is no need of such a half or two-thirds "jim-crow" institution, since "Negro" patients in this community are being better cared for now than they could possibly ever hope to be in a "hospital" such as Gregg advocates for the selfish purpose of getting a few jobs for "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, who do not seem to be able to make a good living otherwise. Is this the thing that City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Councilman Gregg have been "rubbing noses or heads" over MURINE For YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H. S., 9E. Ohio St., Chica for the past year or so? We want to know! Cleveland will never start or maintain such an unnecessary thing. Let the "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, do it if they can. There will be no objection to their having such a private institution. Why don't they go on back "down home" and revel in "jim-crow" hospitals and about everything else. They are making nuisances of themselves here, trying to not only impede our peoples' progress in this community but positively trying to make them retrograde. Shame! BROWN AND GEORGE ARE NOT LIARS! Our local contemporary, quotes Councilman E. J. Gregg as saying, last week, in reference to what Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George say he said at that caucus of Republican members of the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, referred to on page 4 of this paper: "Did you make such a statement? Gregg was asked", said our local contemporary, last week. "No, that's a damned lie", replied Gregg, according to said contemporary. Rev. Dr. R. S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Atty, Clayborne George, councilmanic colleagues of Gregg, say he did say it, that they distinctly heard him, and have sent letters to that effect to The Gazette which we published, last week, and give again, this week, for the express purpose of combating just such a statement as Gregg is credited with by our local contemporary which by the way we understood, the first of this week, may and may not appear, this week, after its strenuous experiences of the last two weeks. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councillman, that he uses such language in referring to the truthful statements of his colleagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we understand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constituents and the public think of him? To another question, he is quoted by said local contemporary (if it is still alive when this appears, of course) as saying: "H—ll, no!" Well, well, WELL! Isn't that and his other reply (above) awful? What say you, Rev. Dr. C. C. Ailer, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the members of your congregation "church" Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color in a hole and a big one, too. But that is not a "marker" to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temerity to be a candidate for re-election, this fall. Goodbye! Gregg. NOTICE!
