Boydston Post's Important Message to All—Other Interesting American Legion News Lemuel T. Boydston Post. No. 94, American Legion, heard Mr. Al Dupree, of the Central Claims Bureau, at Cedar "Y", last week Friday. Mr. Dupree told the veterans of the many benefits service men of past wars are entitled to. It is surprising to know the great number of service men who are not getting the benefits they are entitled to. A number of new laws have been enacted and a ot of veterans, who may have applied for treatment and compensation in the past and were refused, have been allowed to they wanted. A number of visitors present and some Spanish-American War Veterans, including Capt. Charles E. Frey and Capt. Joseph Phillips, of the 365th Inf., who also served in the Spanish war and the 9th Calvary during the Philippine insurrection. He is sending his membership to Boydston Post. Spanish-American War veterans are entitled to many of the features under the new law. Mr. Dupree told of the many cases of gross neglect upon the widow and child will only receive about one-third of the amount she would have received if he had done so. Mr. Dupree, upon questioning, found one man who was entitled to over $1400; another, who had been out of a job all winter and was about to be evicted from his home, was entitled to over $300; a couple of others who had paid for operations that could have been government, and any number of other cases of neglect. Another case was where a man is now drawing $22 a month but could have been drawing the same for several years had he taken the trouble to inquire. It would pay an ex-service man to visit a post meeting and find out what it is all about. Boydston Post appeals to our veterans to get in touch with it, whether they become members or not, as the Post is in- afternoon, at the "Y". It was well attended.—Mrs. Louella Southern of Dennison visited Mrs. Florence Phillips, Sunday.—Miss Pauline Sanders is visiting a cousin, Mr. Edward James, in Chicago.—Mrs. Florence Childers is convalescent and Mrs. W. Williams, convalescing.—Mr. Bob Arnold is better. Pneumonia.—Edward Johnson, Ruth Sanders, Clarence Oliver and Beatrice Cain were elected by St. Luke A. M.

LORAIN.—A program of increased political activity among our people here was launched, April 30, at a meeting of the Lorain Community Political club. Carek hall was crowded to hear the Hon. Perry B. Jackson of Cleveland, our only member of the State Assembly. He discussed the importance of the ballot, how to make it effective and the value of the ballot.

Stabs Self for Love of Jo Baker. Zasreb, Crotia.—Because Josephine Baker, noted Afro-American dancer, rejected his love, Alex Groth, a young engineer, stabbed himself in the chest, at the dancer's feet in the theatre, exit, here April 28. The woman was hushed to the hospital where his condition was reported as serious. JEWS BARRED! From the Cleveland Y. M. C. A.—Racial discrimination, the Cause of dice, the Cause of Editor Gazette. — For sometime there has been a doubt in my mind as to whether or not the Central Y. M. C. A. was sectarian or not. Now, I know better through actual experience, after being a member for more than two years. Previous to that time, not being a member I applied for membership. After my application was made, I was told that the membership committee would meet to decide as to whether or not I was eligible. The following week I made inquiry in regard to my application and was told that the "membership committee" had not met. I was told that membership was filled up at present. A few months later I went through with the same procedure with the same result. Finally, I told a friend of mine about how hard it was for me to become a member. He doubted me and, to prove otherwise, took me to the Y. M. C. A. As we walked through the corridors we met an official of the organization whom my friend knew. This party asked what we were doing there. Whereupon my friend stated that we were thinking of becoming members. The official took us over to one of the "Y" secretaries. We filled out the application blanks and this official O. K'd them. Thereupon, we paid the required membership fee and that the membership committee was just then meeting. He disappeared for a minute or two making a pretense of such a procedure. I was then a full-fledged member. A friend of mine went down to the Y. M. C. A. with me; he thought it would add to our mutual enjoyment if we could both belong and go down together. He immediately applied for membership and was told the same old story—the membership committee would have to decide. After a few months, he decided that the membership committee finally decided that for some reason or other, which they would not divulge, my friend was not eligible to membership. Thereupon, I went up to inquire the reason. I was told that my friend was not acceptable to the membership committee, if there is such. Upon asking the reason, I was told that the membership committee didn't have to give any reasons. I was very much disappointed. I was a university student, a friend of mine, told me he would like to join. He applied for membership and likewise was told to call again. The Y. M. C. A. held a membership campaign. So I entered both of my friends, feeling quite sure that they would be accepted. But alas, it was of no avail. They just were not wanted, and WHY? For no reason whatever but religious prejudice, if I may be so basty as to judge. But after what happened, April 30, I am sure that I am not wrong. My membership expired, say, April 30. On the 60th day, Down to the Y and took my belongings. As I passed the desk I gave the clerk my membership card and told him that I was quitting the Y. He wanted to know the reason, so I told him that, if my friends were not eligible to belong to the Y, I didn't feel that I should belong, feeling that I was not wanted. The young clerk was surprised and asked me if I wouldn't like to talk it over with the membership secretary. I agreed so we both went over to the secretary, to whom I was introduced. I told him the situation and also asked him why my friends would not join, but he refused to discuss the matter further. Whereupon, I accused the Y. M. C. A. of being "religiously prejudiced". The secretary did not deny this. I told him that my friend was a university graduate, a registered pharmacist, a citizen of this free and great country of ours, and wanted to know why he could not become a member. Once more I made an accusation of "religious prejudice", which was not denied. An organization which preachers of this free and great country therely friendship" surely is setting a wonderful example in a large cosmopolitan city such as Cleveland. They are not ashamed to accept contributions from anyone, regardless of race, sex, or color, but when it comes down to becoming a member in such an organization they draw the line. WHY? Is this fair and just? Of course there are men of all races and sexes belonging to the Y. M. C. A. who believe that they are unaware of the situation, as I found it to be. If the Y. M. C. A. is sectarian, why don't they publicly admit it? I respectfully request that this article be published in your newspaper Louis Portus, 4000 Jo Hurls "A Mean Chair". Budapest.—Josephine Baker threw a chair at the head of Count Pepito Albino, her Spanish-Italian husband-manager-secretary, recently. Her anger was aroused when she noticed the Count kissing the hand of another dancer with a little too much emphasis. "The Count" went down pronto, his head receiving several severe bruises. Apparently Jo is as expert a chair-thrower as she is a dancer. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THE CASE OF PERRY HOWARD AS COMFORTABLE INSIDE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SAYS DR. BYRD. Government in the U. S. a Fiasco. (Special to The Gazette) Mr. Hoover's arraignment of America for its lawlessness is the most outstanding incident in the history of this country for many years. The attempt on the part of Mr. Hoover to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment without putting forth the same money, fervor and endeavor to enforce the Amendments affecting our people is futile. Back of the lawlessness of this country stands its wilful neglect and unwillingness to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. To have enforced these Amendments would have placed the colored people on an equal footing politically with the whites. The South refused to obey these Amendments because it determined that they were in quas-slavery in that section. The rest of the country dodged their responsibility in the matter because it, too, believed in "white domination" and disfranchisement. The failure to give our people in the South their citizen-rights brought about a disrespect for constituted government and at President Herbert Hoover. the same time hulled the conscience of America to sleep by this habit until now no law is properly enforced and the sad thing of it all is there is nobody there properly prepared to enforce any law. Until this nation under Mr. Hoover or under some one else like Abraham Lincoln rigidly enforces the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, orderly lawful government in America, particularly in the South, is a flasco. To send forth great preachments on the liquor question and remain silent on the human question, to enforce enforcers and emphasize the fact that this nation is attempting to establish a government here of order and law without including our people in it save when it can send some of them to prisons. America's conscience for lawlessness has been sealed and seared. When the President takes the step he should have taken first and inform America that until it recognizes our people as citizens everywhere and enforces the laws protecting them, he then can expect an honest attempt to enforce law. As we now are, we cannot enforce law. We have neglected it so long until lawlessness has become our natural atmosphere and habit. PERSECUTION NOT PROSECUTION. The acquittal of Perry Howard by a Mississippi jury indicates that the scales of justice swing truer in Mississippi than Washington. D. C.; that Pat Harrison, Democratic U. S. Senator from Mississippi, in fact is fond to lend to cery that he dented the justice to succeed him through Mrs. Willebrandt. And Perry supported Hoover's candidacy! The fair-minded people of all races congratulate Perry Howard on his acquittal. Perhaps the Department of Justice is seeking another indictment. If so, it will go to naught as the former. This is a fine example of the Hoover Administration in its serious aspect of the case presents itself. The coming of Florida, Texas, North Carolina and Virginia into the Republican party has made it as comfortable inside of the Democratic party for our people as it is in the once-Abraham-Lincoln-party. Evidently our people everywhere must be involved in groups that are sincerely friendly and not simply politically friendly while the campaigns are on. Our voters should not expect sympathy THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS U T I O N! OF PERRY HOWARD SIDE OF THE DEMOCRATIC AYS DR. BYRD. e 14th, 15th and 18th Amend- . Constitution—Lawful and protection from the Republican party any longer for these elements of the party have flown. Possibly it is better for our voters. We must learn to get for ourselves and our business interests by voting what Dr. William A. Byrd, other party gets for theirs. If the Republican party does not mean the same thing in every way to our people that does to gregs, give gray that does to shoulds, give it or leave it. The rank and file of Republican voters of other groups yell and vote for the Republican party because they profit economically, politically and otherwise. The same is true of those who vote the Democratic ticket. "The colored brother" must do the same or else he will pimp in more ways than one. Let us hope Mrs. Willebrandt will get fair play enough under her skin to proceed to prosecute white men all over the country who have sold federal patronage and are now doing so. Perry Howard we congratulate you for the fight you made against an unjust federal government. (Rev.) William A. Byrd. MRS. MALONE GAVE $10,000! Washington, D. C. — Among the visitors at Howard university, last week, was Mrs. Annie E. Malone, of St. Louis, who was here in the interest of Poro college. After attending chapel, Mrs. Malone paid a hurried visit to Howard's medical school Mrs. Annie E. Malone. where students gave eloquent expression of their deep gratitude for her gift of $10,000 to the medical endowment fund. She told them that she trusted they would prove worthy of her investment by the type of service they would render those of the race in the communities in which they would settle. One of Our Girls Wins! Jacksonville, Fla.—Surviving a series of keenly contested elimination tests, after submitting an excellent essay in a city-wide competition with over 200 white girls, Miss Hazel V. Pleasant, age 18, was included in the selected 36 who formed what is known as the Girls' Flying club. The contest was sponsored by the Jacksonville Journal, a white daily, and the award was a $300 flying course. Miss Pleasant did not reveal her racial identity, but gave her correct address which was in the "colored district" of the city. The other contesting girls are very cordial to her, even inviting her to their homes to meet their parents. TUBBY Incriminating Evidence.

WINNER IN UNION IS STRENGTH 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 40,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929. Hon. Wm. E. King's anti-Klan bill passed the Illinois House of Represen- tatives, last week Wednesday. Vote, 80 to 3. King is a Chicago Afro-American. The state of New York's Education Department has ordered the word "Negro" spelled with a capital "N" whenever used in the schools of the state. --- Councilman George, what has become of your resolution, of many months ago, for improved service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Avenue street-car lines? --- The promised "Coolidge Good Times", which never materialized, are still very much in evidence under the Hoover administration as the increasing number of "For Rent" signs in store windows indicate. Out of 158 African missionaries, the Protestant Episcopal Church has 1 Afro-American; the Presbyterian, 2 out of 88; the northern Baptists, 1 out of 20; the Methodist Episcopal Church, 5 out of 91; the American Board, 4 out of 97. Of 793 other missionaries to Africa, sent out by American missionary societies, there is not a single Afro-American! --- A. E. F. soldiers, who spent some time in Ireland during the World War, say that male natives of that country, who objected to their firing with Irish lassies, could throw a brick straighter and truer than most soldiers could shoot. Josephine Baker, the wonderfully successful Afro-American dancer abroad, as a chair-thrower seems to be rivaling the Irish brick-throwers referred to. See Budapest letter elsewhere in this paper. --- "Negroes" who were never able to achieve any business success for themselves, were never able to run successfully even a peanut stand, are at the head of some of our banks, insurance and finance companies, etc., and without any training in the business, striving to "do big things" when they were never able to successfully do little things. No wonder so many fail. Our people should be more careful when approached and asked to "buy stock" by these "business men" and others. --- Come, brothers of the race press; "tote square"! When Anthony Overton of Chicago, business man de luxe, said our press was muzzled and controlled by the other race he was not wholly wrong and you know it. About ninety percent of our publications are muzzled and controlled to a certain extent by politicians (white political bosses), our lodge and church organizations. That is why they, said race newspapers, fail to do their full duty by our people, particularly those of their various communities. They fear that political, lodge and church influence. BEN DAVIS AND PERRY HOWARD Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, an Assistant U. S. Attorney General, was but doing as instructed by higher-ups when waging the legal battles (or having them waged by U. S. federal officials) against the two Afro-American Republican National Committee, Ben Davis of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi. They were wanted off the committee to satisfy prejudiced allies of the Hoover management of the campaign, last fall. Ben was promptly forced off the committee but Perry stuck, finally (a few days ago) getting out from under the third or fourth legal battle to discredit him and force his resignation. This is the dirtiest of politics, and we, too, are glad to know he has won. The charges of selling federal jobs in their states were brot against them by prejudiced Democrats of those states. Democrats who were working in harmony with the Ku Klux Klan, and the "Lily-whitees" (Democrats and prejudiced Republicans) of that section of the country. That the President was personally concerned in the "Willebrandt" fight on Davis and Howard, we have been loth to believe because it was too ungrateful, contemptible and dirty politics, to say the least. We cannot see how a man of his standing, ability and broadness could possibly be. As National Republican Committeemen, as we have taken occasion to say on several occasions in the past, Perry and Ben have never been of any consequence to our people. Even so, we did not and do not endorse or condone the mean, contemptible, dirty and ungrateful (to our people) fight on them Mrs. Willebrandt is alleged to have inaugurated and directed. Prime Sport News It only took Bob Moody a few rounds to win his bout, Monday night, at Public Hall. There was a large crowd, as usual. He seems to be a "comah; sartin suah". Bob came here from Pittsburgh, some months ago. Homestead Grays Win Two. Homestead Grays Win Two. The Homestead, Pa. Grays, opened their season in Cleveland by defeating the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, N. J., at Hooper field, Sunday, 16 to 1 and 14 to 2. McDonald and Joe Williams were the Homestead's pitchers and easily held the Giants in check while the Grays batted at will. Jones and Mello to Battle Again. New York City.—"Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, O., gave Al Mello (white), Boston welterweight, a thorough beating, last week Friday night, in the feature ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden. Mello, who holds two overweight decisions over Champion Joe Dundee, was floored for the second round in seventh rounds. Making his Garden debut and heralded as the outstanding title challenger, Mello rarely was able to evade Jones' heavy right hand. The latter won seven rounds, Mello two, with one even. A right uppercut to the chin dazed the Boston southpaw in the second round and apparently spoiled his form for the evening. Mello went down for nine in the third, had a bad time in the seventh and eighth rounds, and was weak and dizzy. The close Mello won, seemingly spoiled Jones once in the fourth, eighth and ninth rounds. He seemed to fight through a daze after the second round, however, and his rallies were short lived. A crowd of 9,000 saw the match. Mello weighed 154, Jones 157½. The long shot boys, who bet on Jones, made their greatest cleanup of the season. The odds on Mello jumped to five, six and seven to one, just before fight time. Jones is to box Mello again in Boston, May 17, according to the Akron boy's management committee. Mello defeated Mello-Joe Dundee bout for the welterweight championship, which was to have been held in Braves' field, Boston, early in the summer. Mello recently defeated Dundee twice in Boston. Looks like Jones versus Dundee, now, this summer. Joe Weaver "Down Home". Midville, Ga. May 2, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O.

OHIO'S MOB VIO DISCRIMINATION PRACTISED New York City — Sears, Roebuck & Co., the largest mail-order concern in the country, whose guiding genius is none other than Julius Rosenwald, the "philanthropist" who "donates" schools and colleges and "jim-crow Y" with one hand while with the other relentlessly exploiting thousands of our workers at low pay and miserable conditions, draws the color-line when we seek to purchase ready-cut homes from the company through its building and loan department. Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. Soon we will face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune "NOT THE LARGEST, BUT THE BEST!"

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: Where is Wakeman? On state route 20 just 46 miles west from the Cleveland Public Square, 22 miles from Elyria, 9 miles west of Oberlin, 11 miles east of Norwalk, 9 miles from New London, 25 miles from Sandusky. OBS.

Plenty of shade, good fishing and we think the best drinking water in Ohio, with several large buildings suitable for a hotel and club-house. Two summer cottages were erected last year.

HIGHWAYS SAFER AND SPEEDIER (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Newer designs in motor cars, busses, and trucks, together with the more liberal speed laws in the majority of states have presented new problems in highway construction for highway engineers to solve, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. The new vehicles demand that highways be designed for safer and speedier operation. To meet this demand highway engineers today are planning roads with better grades and alignments than existed some ten years ago. The roads have wider and smoother pavements and easier curves. The curves are superelevated and widened. Roads are developed to afford greater sight distances on both horizontal and vertical curves. Guard rails are more substantial and better protection at railway crossings is provided. Appreciate Natural Beauty. Further demands are made upon the highway engineer today by the dawning appreciation of natural beauty on the part of the general public. Highways must not only be travelable, but they must also be pleasing to the eye. The engineer develops road locations so as to bring out the natural beauty of the locality. This is particularly noticeable in the new road locations developed by the engineers of the bureau of public roads in the national parks and national forests. They are making use of short tunnels and half-tunnel sections under picturequees overhanging cliffs and along precipitous canyon walls. Formerly it was the custom to blast away these inreplaceable landmarks, destroying fine scenes and leaving ugly wounds which took years to heal. Save Desirable Trees. Much can be done during the construction of highways to preserve and enhance their natural beauty, says the bureau, by intelligent clearing of the right of way so as to save desirable trees, by development of vistas of outstanding magnificence, and in building bridges and culverts to harmonize with the general character of the landscape. After the road is built much can be done by intelligent planting, with due care to avoid obstruction to view of intersecting roads, unnecessary interference with the cultivation of adjacent farm land, and use of plantings foreign to the natural character of the locality. Car Skidding Is Studied A brawny motor truck dragged a touring car sideways across a smooth hard-surfaced field near Des Moines, recently, to find out exactly how much force it takes to make a car skid. Knowledge disclosed by this test by experts of Iowa State college is to aid in the design of banked turns on important highways. The pull of the truck was measured by a dynamometer, an instrument resembling a spring scale for weighing, that was inserted in a link in the towing chain. A pointer registered the pounds of force required to drag the car. Motor Busses to Carry Young School Children A growing tendency to use school busses to carry city children between home and school is noted in a recent survey of the motor coach. School officials have seen the wisdom of using busses to keep children off the streets, avoiding traffic hazards and preventing loitering on the way to or from school. The survey also showed that busses offer speedier service than furnished by other transportation facilities. Six-cylinder school busses with four-speed transmissions and four-wheel hydraulic brakes are built by a reputable firm. Capacities range from 18 to 52 children. Q. What state in the Union has the greatest number of motor vehicles? Ans. New York, with approximately 2,000,816. California is second with 1,806,224. Q. Why should tires be properly inflated? Ans. Too much air causes riding discomfort. Underinflation causes the tires to wear out quicker. Q. Should the front wheels of a car be turned while it is not in motion? Ans. This should be avoided when ever possible as it puts a severe strain on steering parts and is bad on tires. Q. When spark plug gaps are too wide what happens? Ans. When spark plug gaps are too wide it causes hard starting. The gap should be .025" in engines of ordinary compression and .020" for high compression engines. .025" is about equal to the thickness of a thin dime; .020" is slightly closer. Automobile Advertising Feature on Closed Car It is possible to use your pleasure car for business purposes, without marring its appearance, by the application of painted signs. Just paint the advertisement on ordinary window shades and substitute these for the shades of the car, the roller of the window shade being removed and the roller of the car shade being used in its place.

The latter is slipped over a screwhook driven into the window sill, and the absence of the ratchet allows the spring to keep the curtain taut all the time. The stick in the hem should be a trifle longer than the width of the curtain so that it will be impossible for it to roll around the roller under the tension of the spring. C.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 THAN THE CAPE-COAT ENSEMBLE OF SILK THERE'S NOTHING SMARTER CAU J. A. M. M. NEW VOGUE FOOTWEAR INTRODUCES MANY COLORS AND MANY MATERIALS TAPE DANCE FASHION'S latest message—ensembles of soft silk tiled with cape-coats! The idea of a cape-coat of cloth may not have appealed to the majority of women, but of silk, that is different. You will love them—so feminine, so chic, so graceful and wearable are they. It is with a feeling of genuine relief that fashion's followers are turning from coats of straight and monotonous lines to the animated fluttering cape types. Then, too, the fact that these cape effects are styled of cool summery silk adds both to their charm and their practicality for warm weather wear. Crepe de chine is the favored material for these summer cape-coat ensembles. The model in the picture is in navy. Notice the length; the short three-quarters types are very smart. To fill the cup of modishness full to overflowing, designers add a blouse of "gingham silk." That is, the silk is checked in gingham patterning. Checks are the rage. If one fails to NEW VOGUE FOOTW MANY COLORS AN AND now it is a keen shoe consciousness to which we are awakening. What with fashion declaring that shoes must be as whimsical and intriguing as hats and all the other costume accessories, the footwear program promises an exiting and fascinating future. In matter of color and media the footwear outlook for spring and summer is nothing less than breathtaking. In order to relate shoes to the costume and its accessories, shoes are shown made of even so delicate a material as printed crepe de chine. Bag and shoe "sets" of this gay weave are quite necessary to the happiness of nudity who would be perfectly costumed from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes. Recent displays reveal shoes of delicately embroidered pique. Ratine or ruffia embroidery on linen also presents an arresting shoe suggestion. Gay cotton prints also are serving as interesting media for summer footwear which exploits color and novelty. Several alluring new shoe modes are Buy Your Color or an Acqu comply with the style demand for a frock made of checked fabric, silk, wool, cotton or rayon, then the only thing left to do is to compromise with a blouse of check silk. The blouse, of course, will flaunt at least one decorative bow, most likely tied at the neck like the one pictured. That the mode is destined to follow a "checkered" career this summer there is every evidence. Sports coats of checked woolens, jacket suits of checked gingham and even hats of checked fabrics abound in the style picture. As to the separate blouse, be it of check silk or any other known weave whatsoever, for materials used for its making are legion, it is having its day and a glorious day at that. Indeed so important a part does the blouse play the character of the costume it accompanies is determined by it.

COUNCILMEN BROWN AND GEORGE SAY COUNCILMAN GREGG DID SAY IT. 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 brot 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 to Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette: Cleveland, O 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 I have high regard for a falsehood for I have high regard 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 sausson and diplomacy as a result 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. Harry H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I appreciate your calling me over the telephone and applaud that part of De Gregge'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 one who had talked with me about the matter. 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 to 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 intimely; that there existed an organization of white nurses which would not allow their members to work with colored nurses, and if we tried to force colored girls to work 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 timely and right to open the City Hospital to our boys and girls. This is as near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were on the only members of our race present in the room. George counseleman, was also present. Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It Cleveland, April 9, '29 Hon, Harry C. Smith, Baltimore, Gloucester, Editor Grace Brundle, Smith's office, answered 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 being furnished to all people for the training of nurses and the education of nurses and the education, 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 that if colored nurses were placed into the City Hospital it would destroy the morale of and affect service for the need of colored nurses 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 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! 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. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councilman, 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, Gregg is quoted as saying: "H—I, no!" Well, well, WELL! Isn't that and his other reply (above) awful? What say you, Rev. Dr. C. C. Aller, 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. Lizzie, daughter of Millie Wells, was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Her sister, Emma, lives in East Liverpool, Ohio, but Lizzie has not been located for several years. Her mother died, June 18, 1928, at St. Joseph leaving all her real estate and personal property two daughters. We shall be thankful to the pastors of the various churches, if they will help to find Lizzie's whereabouts, between now and the 18th of June, 1929. (Atty.) J. R. Clifford, Executor. Drawer 86, Martinsburg, W. Va. P. S.—A liberal reward will be given to the one who locates her. What would cause other people to grish their teeth and gird their skin is question of debate for us. Kick up, beat us, pile depreedations 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.)

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 sure 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". GREGG'S LATEST HOSPITAL IDEA! Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, April 15, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now advocaing 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 for the past year or so? We want Harry C. Smith. NOTICE! The Truth:
