Cleveland's De Lux Public Hall Where the Great Sunday School, Congress Will Hold Its Sunday Afternoon Mass Meeting, June 9. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd was a visitor in our city, Monday, making his final arrangements with Dr. Ernest Hall for the great Sunday School Congress, which meets in Cleveland, June 5-10. Drs. Boyd and Hall secured the city auditorium, better known as Public Hall, in which to hold the Sunday afternoon mass meeting on June 9th at which time 10,000 Sunday School workers will march in a parade to the place of meeting to listen to a great program which will be the climax of the great Congress gathering. Prof. H. B. P. Johnson of Chicago arrived in the city, this week, to re- Too Strong a Combination for Merit to Beat, So Mrs. Roberts, An Ohioan, Lost. Boston, Mass.—Battling courageously against an unbeatable combination of racial prejudice and sympathy for a blind contestant, Mrs. Nadyne Roberts Waters, dramatic soprano of Wyoming, Ohio, lost a cash prize here, recently, in a contest held by the National Federation of Music clubs in its second biennial contest at Steinert hall. All of the 15 contestants were white with the exception of Mrs. Waters, who were a well-known conductor and many of the audience that Mrs. Waters had won, congratulations were showered upon her immediately after she left the stage. Mrs. Waters wrote a music critic on one of the leading Boston daily newspapers, who was one of the judges and this was his reply: "In good faith I gave my vote for first prize to a young Colored girl (Mrs. Waters) and left the hall. There was no doubt but that she sang far better than any of the other contestants". JOE VISITED HIS MOTHER. Cleveland, O., May 22, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Sir: I—received from Georgia, last week Thursday evening, at 6 o'clock. I received the package of Gazettes just before I left Midville, Ga. and distributed some, and had the others distributed among my friends whom I need to see. My visit with my mother and relatives was enjoyed in the highest degree. My mother had regained half of the weight she lost while I was in the death cell at Columbus, O. I will call again to see you. As I wrote you from Midville, recently, I called on Mr. Benj. Davis while stopping over in Atlanta, en route to Midville. Yours respectfully, Joseph Weaver. Wilberforce Wins! Washington, D. C.—The young women of the Mu Lambda Debating society of Howard University lost to Wilberforce, last week Friday evening, in a well conducted forensic contest. Howard had been successful at Wilberforce. The subject discussed was, "Resolved, That the Power of the Supreme Court to Declare Laws Unconstitutional Should Be Abolished". The negative won in both instances. Girls to Get Their Jobs. Spokane, Wash.—R. C. Taylor, assistant superintendent of dining-car service on the Northern Pacific, has announced that girls (white) are being trained to replace our waiters, chefs and assistant chefs on their trains running between Livingston and Gardiner, Mont. Taylor must sure be a southern "cracker". This is the kind of dirty work they do in the North whenever they get a chance. this chorus. Dr. Hall reports that all of the churches in the city, without regard to denomination, have opened their doors to receive delegates and most of them have pledged their support in every way needed. An invitation is hereby extended to every Sunday School in the city to participate in the parade. This parade will have children of all ages playing music for those who march. One of the bands, known as the Congress band, consisting of 23 persons, will come from Nashville, Tenn., on the Congress's special train. Let everyone get ready to enjoy a week of good things when the great Sunday School Congress meets, June 5 to 10. Florida has run true to form again by lynching a white man that was jailed after the chief of police had shot to death his wife. Florida that voted the Republican ticket at the last election and is now being considered a trophy and valuable recruit to the Republican party, not changed one whit. It is a lawless and lieing as it always has. The life of no one is safe in Florida, white or black, if that life seeks to protect itself from Florida injustice. It is now time for the Republican party to insist that Florida, as a Republican state, cease lynching and obey the law. The Republican party should look to the best citizens of Florida, who have the recommending of persons fit to hold federal positions, to put an end to choking and to commit themselves or any one else to be pound-keepers. How can the President expect the rest of the country to enforce the prohibition amendment and the Democratic party sit quietly by and see human life sacrificed by officers of the law? The coroner's jury, composed of the worst liars in the world, found that the dead man was killed by parties unknown to the jury; and it is barely possible that the mob helped to make up the jury. The sheriff reported that he did not know any of the mob. He shoed the hanged by the bank until he was found of what the law of justice demands of sheriffs. It added that two Negro prisoners were in jail but could not identify any of the mob. True they would not, for had they the rope and bullets that killed, the white man would have taken them away. Let us enforce the law that protects human life before we run mad about the law that prohibits a drink. Then, too, Florida is the play-ground of our elite millionaires of the North who go there and become involved with the Florida either of lynching or indifference toward it. Los Angeles, Calif.—Nate George, unheralded and unnoticed Afro-American spinner of Whittier college, pulled one of the most unexpected upsets in southern California track and field history at the Coliseum, Saturday afternoon, May 11, when he defeated Frank Wyckoff and Charley Borah, favorites in the 100-yard dash at the annual A. A. U. track meet. George ran a smooth race, winning time 9:4-5 seconds. Wyckoff is remembered as the 19-year-old youngster who defeated Charles Paddock last season. Another great upset of the afternoon was the spectacular running of Harry Chance, an Indian youth, who won the world championship in 1904, when he lapped his field and won the six-mile run in 29 minutes, 44 seconds. Winning the dash assures George a trip to the National A. A. U. meet to be held July 5 in New York City. arse the Congress chorus which ill consist of three hundred voices osen from the various churches of a city. An invitation is extended all the churches to send persons East Mt. Zion Baptist church, ner of Cedar Ave. and E. 103rd for rehearsal. Notices have been t to all the churches asking for volunteer singers from the age of 18 upward. This promises to be the most festive feast the citizens of Cleveland have had for period of one week. Prof. Johnson is nationally known as one of the best chorus-trainers in the country. Every one, who wants to learn more about singing, should extend himself of the opportunity to join Denounce Lynching and Characterize it as Barbarity and Are Right. Memphis, Tenn. — Denouncing lynching as "a badge of shame to our civilization", the Southern Baptist Convention (white) at its recent annual session in this city, urged that every effort be made to build up and maintain "a public sentiment that will establish justice and banish from our borders the appalling practice of mob violence". Continuing, the convention said: "Never should we be content until every vestige of this barbarity is eradicated and every individual has secured to him the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". The significance of this statement is found in the fact that the convention represents the largest religious group in the South, with 20,000 churches and a membership of more than 3,800,000. Must Scent Another War! Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—For the first time since the close of the World War, our officers of the U. S. Reserve corps in the South will receive military instructions. An Officers' Training camp is to be stationed here, May 25. Col. Benj. O. Davis of Cleveland, O., our ranking officer in the U. S. Army, now attached to the O. N. G., will be the instructor. He will be assisted by Capt. Arthur P. Hayes, military instructor here, who will serve as adjutant. A. Naval Cadet? Annapolis, Md.-Charles E. Wier of Chicago nominated for the local U. S. Naval Academy by Congressmas Oscar DePriest of Chicago, has passed the mental examination. He was an alternate from his district. Lawrence A. Whitfield, nominated as principal, did not appear for examination. Claude Hanson Burns, the second boy named as principal, failed to pass the examination. Wier goes in with June class, if he is not "framed" in the physical examination, June 18. Of the 1000 who took the examination, 802 were successful. Parham a West Point Cadet Chicago, Ill.—Alonzo S. Parham is the cadet major in the R. O. T. C. now taking a post-graduate course in algebra at the Wendell Phillips high school, this city, from which he graduated in February. He is 18 years old, five feet nine inches tall and weighs 159 pounds. He will be the first of our race to enter West Point since 1889. The Editor Wins! Oklahoma City, Okla.—The suit for $50,000, brought against "The Black Dispatch" and Editor Roscoe Dungee of this city by Rev. E. J Cain, a local preacher, was thrown out of court, recently, after three years' litigation, by Judge Wiley Jones A WHITE RESIDENT! (Special to The Gazette) (Rev.) William A. Byrd. Shows His Heels to Veterans SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MURDEROUS U. S. MARINES SLAUGHTER THREE THOUSAND HAITIANS, SAYS U. S. SENATOR WM. H. KING. Peasants Who Never Had Deeds to Farms, Being Ousted and Ownership by a Foreign Company Follows—Hoover Has Power to Withdraw the Marines—Outrage After Outrage! Port-au-Prince, Haiti—These advises predict an over-population at no distant day, of particularly the fertile rural districts of this island republic. The peasants are the owners of practically all of the agricultural country, there being no individually extensive land ownership. Therefore, no large agricultural exploitation is possible, unless the present small owners are dispossessed of their properties. How is this being accomplished? By the quite simple expedient of ordering these hard-working unschooled people of the hinterland to show their territorial claim to their property possibly a century or 50 years ago, has disappeared, the present occupant is charged with unlawful possession of territory belonging to the state and is driven by American officers, installed by puppet President Borno, off the premises. (Property of a parent is distributed among his children without resort to court procedure, a custom not readily understood by the controversial American heir or heirs.) Ownership by some foreign company rapidly follows. The Haitian Constitution provided specifically against ownership of any portion of its soil by foreigners. This situation is not the case with the American marine invaders (American Occupation) by forcing a revision of the century-old Constitution. Quoting from a former Charge d'Affaires of the Haitian Legation at Washington and the president of L'Union Patriotique d'Haiti, Monsieur Percival Thoby: No Room for Business "The area of the Republic of Haiti is 26,000 square kilometers. There is consequently no room for business on a large scale. Life has been inexpensive because everyone is the owner of a piece of land, or of a house, and each family obtained their food from their country land. With the persistent confiscation, under the American Occupation, of these small properties the commodities of life are rapidly disappearing and the cost of living mounting in proportion to the scarcity of native produce. Girls Must Work "Previous to 1915, when the U.S. landed bayonetted troops (marines), the young girl whose family had an income that permitted leisure was, as is customary in the United States, kept at home. The policy of land confiscation has deprived many of these families of their incomes and these girls are forced to look for work in the stores, government offices, etc. As a result, hundreds have been ruined! It is economic necessity, that they work, and not because of deprived American education. Haitians in general despise the Americans for the destruction of that custom which protected these girls from the immoral habits of the gynaees." 4000 Slaves The assertion recently attributed, in a New York daily, to Commander Cooke that, in the public works of Haiti there were employed only 33 Americans and 4,000 Haitians is, according to our correspondent, meticulously correct. The 4,000 Haitians, however, are 4,000 slaves with a daily wage of 30 cents, paid every 22 days (the average late), when there are no fines levied against their pay envelopes. The 32 Americans are 32 high officials with salaries aggregating thousands of dollars monthly. $40,000,000 Debt In reply to the statement of the author, H. P. Davis, relating to the reduction of the $40,000,000 internal debt, Monsieur Thorey says: "When Haitian territory was invaded by U. S. marines we had an internal debt of about $10,000; interested in some unsettled claims. The American Occupation forced upon Haiti an International Claim Commission. As soon as this Commission was created a mass of previously rejected claims were again presented amounting to $32,000,000, of which $9,000,000 were American. The fictitiousness of $8,000,000 of these American claims becomes at once apparent because the decision of this International Commission the $9,000,000 shrivelled to $400,000; the exact amount previously recognized by the Independent Haitian Government as valid." And the United States is maintaining marine bayonets in Haiti "to preserve order" where there is no disorder, pretending to be motives of the most disinterested benvolence—Baltimore Afro-American. 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 ANDS! U. S. MARINES HOUSAND HAITIANS, SAYS OR WM. H. KING. Mad Deeds to Farms, Being hip by a Foreign Company Has Power to Withdraw outrage After Outrage! Washington, D. C. — President Herbert Hoover has the power to withdraw American marines from Haiti without authorization from Congress, according to U. S. Senator Wm. H. King, of Utah. The U. S. military forces have been held in Haiti by executive authority since 1979, and if the executive department says so, and if no legislation would be required to compel the withdrawal of the American marines, "But the executive department," says Senator King, "has been deaf to the appeals of the Haitian people and to the liberal sentiment of this country and has pursued a reactionary and imperialistic policy". Senator King has sought to apply legislation upon the appropriation of his adopted, would compel the withdrawal of the American marines from Haiti. Each year when the Navy Department appropriation bill is under consideration in the Senate, he has offered an amendment which would prohibit the use of any part of the naval appropriation for the maintenance of any officer or enlisted man in the military or naval service in Haiti. His efforts have been in vain. 3,000 Haitians Slaughtered! 5,000 Haitian men murdered. Senator King does not blame the American people for their inference. "The people not the fathers," he declares, "that American battleships took possession of Haitian ports and American military forces waged warfare upon Haitian soil, killing more than 3,000 Haitian people. They do not know that since 1915 the Haitian people have been deprived of the right to govern themselves, and have been subjected to the will of the United States; nor do they know that the United States overthrew the government, abolished their constitutions, and legislated from their legislative chambers, and have prevented the Haitian people from having any voice in the control of their internal or foreign affairs". If American battleships and marines were withdrawn from Haiti, Senator King says there would be universal rejoicing among the Haitian people. But he entertains no illusions. "Military control of Haiti is still the same as the liberal forces of this country aroused. Thousands of Haitians have left their native land, and many others have been forced from, lands which they and their fathers occupied for many years". Extrayagance. Authentic information which he has received from Haiti, Senator King states, confirms the statements made by Atty. Napoleon B. Marshall, who was a clerk for six years in the U. S. consulate at Port au Prince. Capt. Marshall recently resigned his position and returned to this country. In a recent newspaper article the U.S. newspaper charged that a mysterious fire burned unaudited accounts and vouchers and that Haitian road-making has consulted American convenience rather than Haitian needs. He also charged extravagance on the part of some of the American officials in Haiti. "Poor "Bleeding Haiti" the little blue republic! The great librator, emancipator and martyr, Toussaint L'Ouverture, drove from its shores the flower of the great Napoleon Bonaparte's army, under his brother-in-law, Gen. Le Clerq, to achieve its independency. FIRST COMMUNITY CHURCH Rapidly Forging to the Front—Baptismal Services and Other Church Notes Jersey City, N. J.—The first baby baptized in the First Community church was Miss Gloria Louise Boulden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boulden of 312 Halliday St. Mrs. Louise Smith, secretary of the church and also grandmother of Miss Gloria, was God mother.

"Where the Negro's money goes" was the subject of an interesting address at Shiloh Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, by Dr. J. K. Nickens. He told how ten million dollars would help build business enterprises and pay every church debt, in two years. There was music and a good audience. Miss Anita Bolden, missionary to Sierra Leone, W. Africa, on a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Bolden of Eastham Ave., E. Cleveland, was the speaker, Sunday evening, at St. James A. M. E. church. She is on a year's furlough and will return to her post for another five years, late in the fall. Thru her attorney, the Hon. Perry B. Jackson, Mrs. Dorothy Lyles has entered suit for $500 damages (under Hon. Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law) against the Northern and Universal Air Lines for their refusal, recently, to take her on a pleasure trip in their planes from the Cleveland Air port, after selling her a $5 ticket for that purpose. Good! "Sting them, good and hard"", Mrs. Lyles. The delegation from Boydston Post that accompanied Garrett A.

Boydston Post entertained the patients of the Psychopathic ward at the City hospital, last week Wednesday evening, presenting Louia V. Jones, Mrs. Ruby Slaughter, and the Maxwell quartet. Miss Sanford was at the piano. It was said at the hospital that never before had the patients received such a rare treat. The various posts in the county take place at the hospitals, and Boydston does not shirk a single duty or responsibility. At its meeting, last Friday, a rising vote of thanks was given those who lent their services to the affair. Use as much care in picking your drug store as you do when you pick your physician.

The lodge has elected the following delegates to the convention: Dr. A. J. Whitehead, state deputy; Richard McKee, Allen E. Cale, Robert Gentry, Wm. F. Johnson, George Edwards, Alston Yancy, George Johnson and Percy B. Jackson, E. R. Hon. John P. Green delivered a most illuminating lecture on "The Evolution of John Brown (marty) and His Immortals" at Triedstone Baptist church, Sunday evening. Judges Kramer and Ewing, who followed the Ex-State Senator with short talks, complimented him highly for his splendid effort and said he was very encouraging to the large audience which it also received very enthusiastically. Mr. Green also addressed a woman's meeting at the same church earlier that evening. The establishment of Provident, Pentecost and Wilson Hospitals and Dailley Sanitarium (for "Negroes") in Chicago has just about closed the doors of all the other hospitals in that city to "Negroes" with the result that the situation has become so serious that Chicago Catholics "have proposed a million dollar hospital for Negroes." This is the condition Jim-crow would have of Cleveland would (if they would) foist on our people of this city with their advocacy of a hospital "on the East side, officered by colored and white physicians and help", or an out-and-out "jim-crow" hospital.

CONGRESS To Convene in Cleveland, Next Month, Will Be An Extraordinary Event. Practically all of our local Baptist churches, under the direction of Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of East Mt. Zion Baptist church and his ministerial, laymen and other associates in the management of the arrangements for the coming of the great Baptist Sunday-School Congress, June 5 to 10, are still working hard, preparing for it, and the anticipations of our people of Cleveland are running high because they realize that the Congress is really going to be something out of the ordinary in many respects, something never before witnessed in this city. Rev. Gary Allen Boyd of Nashville Tenn., secretary of the Congress and promoter of the great gathering, is full of enthusiasm, aggressive and exceptionally capable as a leader in church and Sunday School work. He knows how to get results, which accounts largely for his splendid success in the past, extending over many years. Mr. Boyd invites every Sunday-school, organized class, boy cadet, and religious worker to attend this great national Congress where no stone will be left unturned for the further expansion of Sunday-school work yet to be done. The delegates to the Congress from all sections of the country may rest assured of the generous hospitality of Anderson and very possible, and follow Seventh Council and the rest of the Congress' official staff, into this city, next month, with the utmost confidence of experiencing a wonderful time in the service of the Master. "On to Cleveland" is the slogan. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hosthouse products are forced.

CARE OF TIRES NOT EASY TASK If American motorists gave their ‘motor car tires as much care as they give their own shoes they would save hundreds of millions of dollars they Row waste through carelessness, EX- Perts suy almost every driver wears ut the equivalent of a tire a year because he does not observe stinple Tules which not only prolong the life of his casings but make for easier Flding. ‘The main causes of premature tire ruin are: driving with wheels out of alignment, needless high speed, faulty use of brakes and improper inflation. Brakes Wear Tires. Paradoxically, the more the auto- mobile is Improved the harder it be- comes on tires. Four-wheel brakes ‘will stop a car almost as short as a ‘stone wall, but they wear down tires ‘at an appalling rate if they are habit- ually slapped on at high speed. Un- ‘evenly adjusted brakes scuff out tires as a small boy scuffs out shoes. Increased speed also is hard on tires, yet the more cars in use the faster traffle must be kept moving, and the greater the wear on tires in slowing down and stopping. Recent tests have shown that a car driven at 85 miles an hour and stopped every quarter mile wore the tread design on a standard tire entirely away in a lit- tle more than 100 miles. Stopped ‘only every mile, the tread lasted 3,000 miles. Inflation Is Important. ‘The one important factor in tire wear that is completely under the control of the man at the wheel Is {nflation. Experiments made with Adentical tires on identical cars, one set properly inflated and the other ‘only six pounds under-intlated, showed that firm tires lasted one-quarter longer. Kicking a tre to test its pressure fs about as sensible as taking stryeb: nine tonic by drinking it out of the bottle. There is only one way to test tire pressure, and that is with a gauge. Four minutes once a week, ‘spent on testing tire pressure may save at least the price of one new casing @ year. Find Misuse of Signals Growing in Many Cities ‘The misuse of trafle signals is tn creasing disregard for their meaning, says a recent report of the American Engineering council, which has just concluded a traflie survey in 104 Amer- ican cities. ‘Two fundamental errors have been observed in a majority of the cities, the coufell finds. ‘The most. impor tant is the placing of the signals with out first baving an adequate survey of conditions to be bandied, or with- out a thought of what may result at other intersections. ‘The other fault is the placing of signals at coruers not justified under the circumstances. “the result of such error,” says the report, “is that the publie will recog: nize their error and have a consequent Aisregard of all traffic signs and de vices.” Grease Cups Left Grease cups have uot entirely dis. appeared before the newer varieties of lubrication systems, Or mn; cars, the rear wheel bearings and fan bear ing, at least, still are lubricated by the rather primitive cup. ‘These are very vital parts doing a great deai of bard work, but because they require more time for lubrication than those parts whieh may quickly be reached with the gun, they often are ignored.

Therefore, the pre- ponderance of evidence is against Gregs.

Hon, Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, 0. Dear Sir:—I appreciate your call ing me over the telephone and ap- prizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg’s letter to you which refers ta me. I did not give you the informa: tion whieh was the basis of your edi. torial but I presume you got it from some oue 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 ap- pointed by the mayor, is hereby au- thorized 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 accord- ed 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- isted an organization of white nurses which would not allow their mem- bers to work with colored nurses, and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might dis- rupt the morale of the entire hos- pital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and re- port on the matter will giye us a basis on which to work. Itvis 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 (Greg) 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 he understood Dr. Gresg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. Very truly yours, Russell S, Brown. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, ‘29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, 0, Dear Mr, Smith:—In ‘answer to your inquiry over the telephone, to- day, with reference to statements made by Dr, E. J. Gregg, I wish to advise that I was present at a meet- ing where a proposed resolution of Rey, Russell Brown was being dis- cussed, This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Council of the City Hospital with reference to equal op- portunities being furnished to all people for the training of nurses and internes. According to my best rec- ollection, 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 be- cause 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 af- fect seriously the services rendered there, and for that reason he was op- posed to the placing of colored nurs- es in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregs further said that he did not believe that this would be true with ref- erence to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution be- cause he felt that more could be ac- complished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the in- formation 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 sim- ply ridiculous and a rank insult to all of our people of this community. —Liitor. GO BACK “HOME” GREGG! Councilman B. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution sup- ported by the taxpayers of the com- munity, among whom we number thousands, because organized preju- iced white nurses “would not work with our nurses", he says, and be- cause “foreing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-sehool might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital,” he continues. Now, really can sou believe that a sane member of the race, a doctor and a elty 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? 0, Lord God of Hosts, have merey! “We should worry" whether prej- udiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether “the morale of the entire City Hospital” was “dis- rupted” or not! As far as the for- mer are concerned, “we don't give a jdarn”, aud as for the latter, if any ‘persons are to worry about that “‘mo- rale” let the public's servants in ‘charge of City Hospital, who are paid ‘by the taxpayers thousands of whom jare our people, do it. And we are “not so sure there would be any, when ‘those nurses or others at the hos- pital, who are prejudiced, were told ‘they could stay or go, as they saw ft. Why is Grege so anxious'to please prejudiced persons, even to the ex tent of denying his own people their ttn rights in that public institu- ‘tion? 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 pis mind and should “up stakes” and hurry on back to “dear old Tennessee” or wherever In ‘the South he came trom. 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 jare in the way and trying to “block che einwavel: 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 advoca‘ing a “jim- crow” hospital for this city, but one ‘on the East-side of the city, the ma- Jority of its official personnel (those in charge of it) to be “Negroes”. Such an institution would do. the same harm that a “jim-crow” hospi- tal would, because ALL “Negro” pa- tients that went to the other hospi- als in the city, as they do now, would be sent to Gresg’s “makeshift” insti- tution, and that would rob our peo- ple of the right to enter the other hospitals as they do now. ‘Then, too, there {s no need of such a halt or two-thirds “‘jim-crow"” institution, since “Negro” patients in this com- muuity are being better cared for now than they could possibly ever hope to be in a “hospital” such as Gregg ad- yocates for the selfish purpose of get- ting a few Jobs for “Jim-crow Ne groes”, 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. Hop- kins and Councilman Gregg have been “rubbing noses or heads" over 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 institu- tion. 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 le”, replied Gregg, according to said contempor- ary. Rey. Dr. R. S. Brown, pastor of Mt, Zion Congregational church, and Atty. Clayborne George, councilman- ie 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 pub- Ushed, 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 col- leagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we under- stand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constitu- ents and the public think of him? To another question, Gregg is quoted as saying: “H—ll, no!” Well, well, WELL! Isn’t that and his other re- ply (above) awful? What say you, Rev. Dr. C. C. Aller, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the mem- bers of your congregation “church” Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color ina hole and a big one, too. But that is not a “marker” to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temer- ity to be a candidate for re-election, ‘Yhis fall. Goodbye! Gress, Harry C. Smith. Attention! Readers!
