OSCAR SAYS! Baltimore, Md.—In two addresses here, recently, Hon. Oscar DePriest, a Chicago representative in Congress, said in part: "There is a no more loyal group of people in the world than our own people. "I carried every and precinct and lost every white one. "I owe my election to our women who covered my district in a house-to-house campaign armed with the slogan, 'We Want Representation in Congress.' When Republicans were against us, we gave Democratic Mayor Dever a 6,000 majority; when he didn't make good, we snowed him under and voted for Mayor Thompson (Republican) by a 40,000 majority. "Don't let anybody fool you with the talk that the office seeks the man. I'm in Congress because I started early and enlisted the support of all who could help me win. I was born poor and had to fight for everything I've got. My wife says I like nothing better than a fight. "I am opposed to separate schools because they do not allow an opportunity for interracial contacts. "I want institutions where I could draw water and religious lines if they wish, but no one has a right to set up separate and exclusive institutions with the tax-makers' funds." "Baltimore has a long ways to go. I see you have separate schools here. You'll understand what I mean when I tell you Chicago has a Negro civil service commissioner, a Negro municipal judge elected in a city-wide contest, three hundred Negro school teachers, one hundred and fifty Negro citizens and five Negroes in the state legislature, one in the state senate, several assistant city and state attorneys, eleven hundred in the city postoffice and nearly a thousand other municipal employees. "Chicago declares that the Negro is a full-fledged citizen and that he is the equal of every other citizen. We have no race inferiority complex. "I have no interest in the C.C. An important city and Christianity does not permit it to give other people what it wants for itself is a mighty poor example of the real thing. If the colored 'Y' were overcrowded, today, I couldn't get a cot in a white Y. M. C. A. The young Negro is different from the old crowd. He'll not stand as much. He's not as doble. He's sure he's as good as anybody else. He's not easily fooled. I promised my friends that if they elected me to Congress, the first thing I'd do would be to nominate cadets for West Point and Annapolis. Ive made good that pre-election promise. "Election to Congress hasn't 'swelled my head.' I'll be Oscar DePriest after I'm no longer a congressman." Rhodes Goes to Pen. Youngstown, O.—"Rev." Emerald Rhodes, local pastor, was taken to the Ohio penitentiary, Tuesday, to await execution. Sept. 25, for the killing of Otto Campbell, a member of his church. Rhodes' attorneys may carry the case to the appeals court. A waste of time and money. Herbert S. Chauncey, first of the race to be selected; Maurice A. Black, merchant, and Abram Garfield, architect, were elected to the City Plan Commission by the City Council, Monday night. The position pays no salary or fees. For the State Department of Wilberforce University—New and Retiring Trustees — Bishop Demby and Curry. (Special to the Gazette.) Wilberforce, O. — The C. N. and I (state department) board of trustees met here, last week Friday. The two new members: Miss Jessie Jorlier of Cincinnati and Atty. Robert of Barcus of Columbus; also Rew. Robert Brown of Cleveland, who will become a member, after June 30, were in attendance and cordially received. Very impressive sentiments were expressed to the Hon. Harry C. Smith by the board for his uniting efforts, co-operation and loyalty while a member of the board; also that he would leave it, June 30, with the good wishes of all the members for his continued success and prosperity. Sentiments of a like nature were also expressed to Mrs. Helia Walker King, and Capt. Walter S. Thomas recently retired members. The board also authorized the purchase of the Scarborough property for $13,000. It is expected that this property will be converted into apartments for teachers and employees of the institution. Work has been started on a new $160,000 powerplant to be ready for use at the earliest possible date. The spur from Willberforce's commitment to the powerplant is also under way, to be ready by the time the new power-house is completed. The Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, Dr. and Mrs. Leroy N. Bundy and Mr. Ralph Tyler, Cleveland, motored to Wilberforce, Thursday, and spent the week-end as guests of Sup't. and Mrs. Richard C. Bundy. The board's meeting, this week Thursday, was largely in connection with commencement exercises. The most unfortunate thing in connection with the university exercises was the appearance on its program, Sunday in the vesper hours, of E. W. B. Curry of Springfield, the "Negro" side with the Kn Klux-Klan of bishop agree to give own people that memorable "jim-crow" school fight of some years ago. The annual alumni address, Wednesday evening, by Rt. Rev. Edward T. Demby, of Little Rock, Ark., was the outstanding event of the week. The bishop is of the Protestant Episcopal Church. AN APPRECIATION! Nashville, Tenn., June 11, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—After having spent six days in Cleveland, attending the annual session of the Sunday School Congress, I am back in the city and am taking this opportunity to express my appreciation of The Gazette for the splendid way in which you helped to encourage the meeting at Cleveland that proved a tremendous success. Facility is one of the greatest factors, one of the most constructive agencies for building that I know of, and I only regret that I was not financially able to spend more money with The Gazette because I believe had I been able to do so, it would have resulted in even a larger attendance. As it was, we estimate that twenty-one hundred and sixty people were in attendance, coming from thirty-six states in the Union. They were highly elated over the environment in Cleveland, and readily voted it one of the important convention cities in America. I am asking that you publish this card of appreciation, that the citizens of Cleveland may know how the Congress-forces appreciate their hospitality. Yours truly, Henry A. Boyd, Secretary, S. S. Congress Or Dr. John Hawkins of the "Hoover Jim Crow" Campaign Committee —Negro Issue Figures in Na- tional Security Debate North Orlando Debate. Washington, D.C. Senator Glenn of Illinois "seemly encouraged Senator Reed of Pennsylvania to admit, during debate on the national origins scheme of immigration quota allotment, that Reed had left the race out of his "complete" plan. "Does the Senator advise giving a quota to the Congo?" demanded Reed. "I do not advocate it", replied Glenn, "but if the Senator says his plan included everybody he has no right to exercise 15,000,000 of our countries." "We have excluded from the quotas", said Reed, "the Chinese, the Malays, people in the barred zone of southern Asia, and the negroid tribes of central Africa, and by almost universal consent it was to the best interests of America that we should. The colored people of this country have acquiesced in this". "By whom?" asked Glenn, skeptically. By whom? By every colored man who has ever discussed the subject with me. They do not want any more immigration from the Congo. I do not want any more, if the Senator wants my opinion". SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SHOULD BE GIVEN AT HOME! PRESIDENT HOOVER AND THE 14TH, 15TH AND 16TH AMENDMENTS TO THE U. S. CONSTITUTION. Ben Tillman's Lawless and Insulting Statement Recalled—The South Defies the Government —Northern Cowardice—Enforce All Laws, Mr. President! (Special to The Gazette) The conference recently held in Cleveland, in which prominent city pastors took part, was productive of much good. The speech of the pastor of one of the Presbyterian churches of Cleveland, as reported was worth while. Colored people do suffer many things that are wrong about which they say little. Opportunities to rise and be men and women are too often denied them by the so-called eminently pious christian oppositions against him, in almost every case, him on every hand. While the north has sent money and missionaries south to aid in christianizing the Negro, it still has a more pressing burden on their shoulders at home. The southern Negro is in Cleveland, suffering from the conditions that oppressed him in his former home. He brings his prejudices, short-comings, idleness, loudness, bolstered religious demonstrations, segregated bias and unmoral habits. The northern Christian who sent clothes to the west is his body, money to build houses for the poor, for the south pass him to the streets of the Cleveland, take no interest in the Cleveland and kind of gospel he hears every sabbath, does not know the fitness, intellectually, morally and otherwise, the minister that minister to him, do not see to it, where he lives sanction, order, clean environments and the absence of speakeas aid him in his effort to better things in Cleveland than he may have gotten in the south. The Negro is at the door of christians of the north is sadly neglected. He gets his own wage, any laborer, he is kept out of the work, given the servant jobs that pay a starving wage and yet he is expected to be a decent citizen. Designing politicians keep them as a prey for their ward-heels that use them for purposes of gain to themselves at any cost. The wonder is, the Negro is as decent as he is. Instead of the church sending its great white lights far out over the seas disturbing other peoples worshipping God as they believe and know, it should give the light to those who live around the corner from them who often doubt their faith, white christians because of their negro Negro is capable of the highest religious fervor and pious worship and will make the best of citizens if those who have the law in their hands, money in their coffers, opportunities in their factories, etc., would give them an opportunity on equality with other men. President Hoover delivered a courageous speech before the Associated Press in New York, the last of April. His main point was the enforcement of the 18th Amendment. Certainly this amendment should be enforced or repealed. An honest attempt to enforce it is the duty of this nation. However, the indifference toward law that Mr. Hoover complained of when he was in office, the Amendment. It grew out of an American attitude towards things, laws or what-not, people do not like. President Grant sought to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments, and he did while in office. He by force made a section of the country that flouted these amendments respect and obey them. The withdrawal of the means of enforcement by President Arthur was intended to do these amendments to do their worst and they did. The voice of Benjamin Tilman is echoing in Congress now exclaiming: "Yes, we keep the n—rs from voting and what will you do about it?" The nation did nothing about it but helped to build up a sentiment by painting the Negro as a leopard. This encouraged lawlessness on the part of the south and cowardice on the part of the rest of the country. For more than fifty years the south has refused to respect the organic law of the nation and political parties have catered to their lawlessness by keeping hands off. To not enforce these amendments mean that the south had to cowe the Negro. This it proceeded to by dly lynching, holding him in peonage, depriving him of his life, rights and property, so wavering about with brutal constabulary to shoot him down when he rebelled. In addition to this the schools were subsidized so that no man had access to teach Negroes who resented this practice, and only men, north and south, were given places of preferment in instructing Negroes who would say 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 is this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS RITY! GIVEN AT HOME! AND THE 14TH, 15TH AND MENTS TO THE U. S. INSTITUTION. and Insulting Statement Re- Defies the Government wardice—Enforce All Mr. President! "we leave politics and governmental affairs to white people". This and more was done in order to keep the south from obeying the constituted laws of the nation. Now a habit is among us to refuse to obey what we do not like. In other words, America is ruled by what we like and not by law. Mr. Hoover will be followed by this country if he shows the same eagerness to enforce ALL laws that does the job. Illure to enforce the law and respect the law will be our undoing. Stop it! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. FINDS DIFFERENCE Between the "Upper and Lower South"—Only One of Degree That's All. New York City — Returned to New York from a recent speaking tour in southern states, Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P., stressed the difference between the upper and lower South. "In the upper South," he said, "our people talk of their rights, as a matter of course, without fear. That is true in North Carolina, Tennessee and upper Georgia, in most towns and cities. But in the lower South, our people, in many cases, are afraid of expressing anything that even looks like an assertion of their rights. A process is under way that looked to me very much like terrorization on the part of white authorities to keep our people down. One exception is southern Georgia, long a bad section, where we are now lower atrocities have become less owing to the depopulation of that section by the northward migration of our workers. Alabama and Mississippi are still the most timorous states. Birmingham remains the worst part of Alabama despite our 100,000 residents of the city. Our wealthier ones feel the necessity of 'standing in with the whites' and are averse to anything that might be interpreted as a demand for rights.' COURT HEARS FLEMING PLEA Three courts of appeals were in session in Cleveland, Tuesday, one of which heard the appeal of former Councilman Tom Fleming from his sentence of two years and nine months to ten years in state prison for bribery. Atty. George W. Spooner in his plea in behalf of the former councilman argued that the verdict was not in accord with the evidence in the case and that he had knowledge of conversations between witnesses and outsiders during the trial. The court hearing the appeal was composed of Judge Roy H. Williams, Sandusky; Judge Harry W. Lloyd, Toledo, and Judge Silas S. Richards, Clyde. The courts are expected to rule on the appeals, some time next week. Mrs. Herbert Hoover "Rebuke"? Austin, Tex—The Texas House of Representatives, Tuesday, adopted the Senate concurrent resolution "rebuking" Mrs. Herbert Hoover for receiving Congressman Oscar De Priest's wife at a White House tea. The vote was 99 to 10. These Texas "crackers" don't know the war of the rebellion (so-called Civil War) is over. The "assjacks"!

SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929. The bathhouses and pools of the city are to be opened to the public, today, providing the water is warm enough. Our people MUST use these places. It is absolutely necessary, under the circumstances, that they do so. We have three members of the City Council—Rev R. S. Brown, Dr. E. J. Gregg and Atty. Clayborne George, who with Safety Director Edwin D. Barry will make it their business to see that proper treatment is accorded all of our people who use the pools. By the way, "Brother Brown", what has become of your resolution, asking City Hospital information from the city manager? MRS. HOOVER-MRS. DE PRIEST. The fact that the President's wife entertained, in the White House, Congressman Oscar DePriest's wife at tea, last week Wednesday, along with more than 100 other congressmen's wives caused certain "assjack" (prejudiced) correspondents of daily newspapers through the country and cheap southern congressmen to "throw a fit" and attempt to "stir up something", out their utter failure was most pleasing indeed. DePriest is our only congressman, is a Chicagoan and represents Illinois' first Congress district. Mrs. DePriest is a lady, able to hold her own anywhere. Among the most prominent of those at the party were: Mrs. James Good, wife of the secretary of war; Mrs. Wm. D. Mitchell, wife of the attorney general; Mrs. Arthur M. Free, wife of a California congressman; Mrs. Clyde Kelly, wife of a Pennsylvania congressman, and Miss Grace Burton, niece of the Ohio senator. The tea, an informal affair, was one of a series of similar functions given by Mrs. Hoover in honor of the wives of congressmen since the special session convened. Now let the President follow his wife's splendid example and prove that he, too, does not fear "assjack" and prejudiced southern congressmen's "noise". "ASSJACK CRACKER" LEGISLA TORS. The South Carolina "cracker", U. S. Senator Cole Blease, simply had to make a public exhibition of himself with a resolution over the Hoover-De Priest White House social episode of last week which U. S. Senator Bingham of Connecticut was forced to characterize as "obscene and indecent" in open Senate. Texas and Florida legislators did practically the same thing. The "poor fish" are so blinded by their insane fool-prejudice that they seem simply incapable of realizing what colossus assinine spectacles they are making of themselves before the entire North and the world, to say the least. That Please was forced to withdraw his resolution does not in the least mitigate his "obscene and indecent" act which made the President and his wife, as well as Mrs. Oscar DePriest, a party to it. It all amounted to a gross public insult to the Chief Executive of this great country and his good wife by officials of state and country. President Hoover's political management, in the last national campaign, made this possible by its "hook-up" with the Ku Klux Klan, and the "illy-white" (of the South). Even bad political bedfellows, as all can now see. HELP THE MANASSAS SCHOOL. Prof. George M. Sampson, principal of The Industrial School for our Youth at Manassas, Virginia, is a "Cleveland, Ohio, boy", who is doing exceptionally fine work in the section of the country where it is most needed. His school sorely needs financial assistance, as he so clearly sets forth in his letter, published elsewhere in this paper, and it ought to have it soon. Our people of Cleveland and all Ohio, as a matter of local and state pride and racial inter- est, ought to rally promptly to Prof. Sampson's and his school's assistance. All he asks from each individual is a dollar. More of course can be sent, if one desires to be more liberal in giving. The editor of The Gazette has known Prof. Sampson since his earliest years and can and does vouch for his sterling honesty and ability as an experienced educator and a careful administrator. Every cent that is sent to him will be applied as indicated in his letter. That all can thorouly and unqualifiedly depend upon. Help him help our deserving youth of that section on the country and do it promptly. Put a dollar (or more) in a letter, at once, and send it to Prof. Geo. M. Sampson, principal of The Industrial School for Colored Youth, Manassas, Va., and feel all the better for so doing. INVITE PROF. THOMAS! Congressman Hamilton Fish of N. Y. City and Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson of Washington, D. C. will speak in Public Auditorium, Sunday afternoon week, June 30, for the N. A. A. C. P., and former President Chas. F. Thwing of this city will present the Spingarn medal to President Johnson, the evening of July 2. If Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D. C. is not one of the speakers at Public Auditorium, June 30, with Fish and Johnson, there will not be "15,000" nor one-half of that number in attendance. Don't be foolish James Weldon Johnson and Wm. E DuBois, but invite our Newal, once, and have it known through Ohio that he is to speak, and pack the great Public Hall, the afternoon of June 30. This city is giving the N. A. A. C. P. the use of Public Hall for this mass meeting, according to an announcement from N. Y. City. Hon Harry E. Davis is undoubtedly to be credited with this act of hospitality on the part of our city management. THE GROWTH OF SANITY. Some statistical measurements of the growth of sanity: At the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919 the Allies filed claims against Germany totaling $125,000,-000,000. At Bologne in 1920 the Allies arrived at a total of $67,000,000,000 which at the Spa Conference the same year was reduced to $65,000,-000,000. The Reparations Commission in 1921 fixed a total of $33,000,-000,000. In the agreement just completed the present value of the German annuity is estimated at $8,778,630,000. (Interest calculated on fifty-nine installment plan payments will make the total well over $20,000,000,000.) BOBBY, BROTHER AND SISTER! Lovely Children in Need of a Good Home - Church People Take Bobby is a cunning little boy of the race, seven years of age, now under the care of the Cleveland Humane society. His father and mother are dead; so the thing Bobby needs more than anything else is a good free or adoptive foster home with a real daddy and mother to love him and give him the training and protection he has been deprived of thru the death of his parents. His development and nutrition are good. His toons have been removed and his teeth are in excellent condition. He has high intelligence and normal mentally. He does not present any problems of care and would adjust to any normal home where he has the oversight of intelligent foster parents. His mental examination showed an intelligence quotient of 100 and his responses were perfectly normal. He is very bright and speaks with a cunning drawl. He is friendly and cheerful and is quick to notice things. He is very happy to be placed with his brother and sister. These children are also perfectly normal and very attractive, and the Humane Society would be glad to place the three children together in another home. However, if this is not possible, they will have to be separated. It is desirable that Bobby be placed in a location where he can attend sight-saving classes. In case these classes are not open to him he should be placed in a local school.

S'more "Assiacks"! Tallahassee, Fla.-By a vote of 71 to 14 the Florida House of Representatives, Monday, adopted a resolution protesting "certain social policies of the administration in entering Afro-Americans in the White House on a parity with 'white ladies.'" THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929 Prime Sport News Brown and Chocolate Win. New York City, June 18.—Boxing like a student of the old school, A Brown, our flash from Panama, won the title of defending champion of the bantamweight division by larruping Fidel Gregorio, the sturdy Spanish contender, in a one-sided fifteen-round bout, tonight, at the Queens-Broad Stadium, Long Island City. Gregorio was no match for him and the 15,000 fans who had paid about $40,000 to see the scrap let out a mighty cheer when it was over. Kid Chocolate scores a technical knockout over Terry Roth, an East Side bantamweight, in the third round of their scheduled ten-round bout. Tolan Second Again. New York City — Claude Bracey of Rice Institute, running like a jack rabbit from his own Texas plains, nosed out his little rival, Eddie Tolan of the University of Michigan, in a hair-raising 100-yard dash at the Yankee Stadium, Monday night, in the New York Public School Athletic team. The time was 9 4-5 seconds. Both. But Bracey and Tolan had won their qualifying 9.9 and 10 seconds, respectively, and the stage was set for a great duel. If anything, Bracey had the better start and led over most of the distance. But Tolan, running along his shoulder, put on such a finish it left the issue in doubt until it was announced by the judges. In third place, the back of Tolan, came Karl Wildermuth, eastern intercollegiate champion, while Pete Bowen, University of Pittsburgh, was fourth and last. Carried along at a burning pace by Gus Moore, young New York Afro-American, Lee Lermond of the Boston A. A. ran the mile in 4 minutes and 13 seconds. The lanky Boston flyer paced a field, which included the best of the country's college mile runners, on his way to one of the fastest miles ever run in the United States. Godfrey. Best. "Heavy"' Murray, Bess "Heavy" Godfrey, who is to fight old Chuckling Wiggins at Tayler bowl, Tuesday, most certainly soaped the chutes down which Johnny Risko slid in his match with Schmeling. Take that tip from one had his nose under the lower nose, night George pounded Risko's ribs and our own ached in sympathy. Of course Schmeling might have knocked out Johnny but that the latter never faced Godfrey but that is doubtful in view of the fact Risko was beating Max when he ran into the first knockdown. And Godfrey took a lot out of Paulino Uzcdun. The Basque Paulino Uzcudun. hasn't been able to take punches without quaking, or to go the route quite as well, since gigantic George battered him. That was demonstrated when Paulino boxed Von Porat and Christner. Neither was able to drop him, as Schmeling dropped Risko, but each hurt him badly and he tired perceptibly in each match. Godfrey's physique and abnormal strength make him the most dangerous heavyweight in the ring; they kneel furnish his white contemporaries with an excellent excuse for refusing to box him. Sullivan it seems a pity that Godfrey, who can ship any man in the ring, is to be denied the championship and the opportunity to capitalize on his possession of it.—Ray Campbell in The Cleveland Daily News. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. ```markdown ``` Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mo.-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authorization, to "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "junching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a bounty by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum of money in one thousand dollars as damages from the police in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed $10,000. A person may receive therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 3). Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share to widow or minor children surviving to such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob, as described in 1932. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire into the costs of action in the next succeeding case for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian, and such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, where the decedent may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. MOBS. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner from another county or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay the next fifty dollars or more nor five hundred dollars in payment son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

He drives a taxi, as well. But his regular job is telephone operator in The Ohio Bell Telephone Company exchange at Rushville. Life plays peculiar pranks on people. It erects barriers and creates handicaps. For some the problem of unraveling destinies seems unusually difficult. But for Mac Turner there exist no handicaps. He plays a fiddle for square dances. He drives a "fliver," through an ingenious arrangement of bars, ropes and pulleys. Until recently he used the car as a taxi when his duties as telephone operator permitted. In spite of the handicap of not being able to walk, a handicap created by infantile paralysis years ago, Turner gets along better than many people. He is married and has two children, a daughter 22 years of age and a boy, nine. He is never ill and the various means which he has devised enable him to get about without any great inconvenience. Mac Turner's life is an interesting story well worth the attention of many who are more fortunate. He went to school in Harmony township, Morrow county, in a little wagon drawn by a pair of goats, recalling the nursery rhyme of from that public institution? Lord, have mercy!

The public is cordially invited. Subscribe Now He Concedes Capture to Spider. Mary and her lamb. Instead of taking a little lamb to school, Mac took a pair of goats—or rather, the goats took him. He became an employee of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company as an operator at Sparta in 1909. He held this position for 13 years and subsequently came to Rushville to take the place that he now holds. Rushville serves some 300 subscribers and Mac has a speaking acquaintance with every one of them. He's an operator, he says, but also chief operator, information, trouble clerk, and anything else that one might think of in connection with the telephone business in Rushville. He knows the voices of practically all of his patrons and often does them personal services. At night Mac sleeps with one ear open and telephone service never ceases in Rushville. If a subscriber wishes to place a call at 1 a. m., an alarm bell brings Mac from his bed to the switchboard, so that in case of emergency he is at hand to render quick service. When he plays for dances, Mrs. Turner or the daughter or an auxiliary operator, who is also employed occasionally during afternoons, takes charge of the switchboard. HELP MANASSAS SCHOOL! A School Emphasizing Agricultural Industrial, Academic and Teacher-Training Courses. Manassas, Va., June 6, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor: Glenn L. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith;—This letter is to acknowledge the receipt of your cash contribution to our campaign. I assure you it is very highly appreciated. But much more do I appreciate the appeal you made in the last issue of The Gazette that the residents of Cleveland who know our family make a similar contribution to the cause of education in this section of Virginia. While almost under the shadow of the capitol at Washington, this school, privately owned, has with a preexisting existence, affords the only four-year high school course to Negro children within more than thirty counties of northern Virginia. Without county or state aid this institution has operated a summer school for teachers for a number of years. It has been approved, however, by the state. Teachers secure credit for courses pursued here just as at the state college at Petersburg. But no financial support does the school receive from the state because the school offers a dilemma because the fees of the teachers are far from sufficient to meet the expenses. From the Slater Fund we obtained $200, last year, and we have the pledge of a like amount for this summer. But we shall still lack. Now, Mr. Smith, since you were so The stores are full of artificial aids that give artificial beauty. But there is only one Exelento Quinine Pomade!

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER generous as to place Manassas Industrial School before the public, thru the columns of your paper, I am wondering if you could follow up your appeal by another during the months of June and July. My plan now is to write to Rev. Russell S. Brown and ask him to bring our straightened financial condition to the attention of the Ministerial Alliance of Cleveland with the hope that from every church a donation may be made to the Sunday, July 21, 1929, for the best of education in Virginia, but with particular emphasis upon conditions here at Manassas. We need at least $3000 to operate our summer school and the teachers' fees will not total the amount needed for salaries for the faculty, fuel, light, food, etc. If in any way you can be instrumental through your columns in bringing this cause to the attention of persons interested in the general uplift of our people, personally I shall be very grateful and the Negro teachers of northern Virginia will be deeply obligated to you. With best wishes, I am. Yours very truly, Geo. M. Sampson. To beautify hair naturally! The stores are full of artifical beauty. But there is one Pomade!

The three devices that minimize wear and increase the automobile engine's life are air cleaners, oil filters and crankcase ventilator, students of General Motors Institute of Technology were told in an address by Sumper S.

"The air cleaner prevents road dust from being breathed into the engine through the carburetor and causing excessive wear to cylinder walls, plison rings, etc." Mr. Howard said. "There are two types of air cleaners, each having their respective merits. One is the centrifugal type, which requires no cleaning, and the other the 'oil-wetted' type, which is easily cleaned by plunging it up and down in a can of gasoline and then re-olling for use again. It should be cleaned according to recommendations in the car owners' instruction book. Work of Oil Fitter. "The air cleaner's 'twin brother,' the oil filter, removes the foreign matter from the crank-case oil, thus reducing engine wear and making the oil last longer. It filters the oil at the rate of about a quart a minute so that the entire contents of the crankcase are filtered about every ten minutes. "The oil filter is an excellent device, but it must be kept so. In the most commonly used filter devices, the cartridge or straining element is good for about 10,000 miles as it then becomes clogged and the oil is by-passed without straining. It is the same as having no filter, and this is why the oil filter should be serviced after 10,000 miles operation. Crankcase Ventilator. "An ally of the oil filter and air cleaner in preventing wear is crankcase ventilation, which removes or minimizes water and fuel that would contaminate the oil. Crankcase ventilation, which is in quite general use, is usually accomplished in two ways. One is to pass a blast of air from a fan through a tube, causing a suction from the crankcase, which carries with it any vapors that may be present in the crankcase. The other method is to take a certain portion of air across the surface of the crankcase and into the intake of the carburetor, carrying with it the water moisture and fuel vapors." Trains Now Halted at Unprotected Crossings Grade crossings at towns on some of the less active branch lines of railroads in Massachusetts and New Hampshire are now unguarded without violation of rather strict laws governing the protection of intersections of roadways and railways. Until recently pensioned employees served as gatemen and flagmen at such crossings. Pedestrians and vehicles no longer need "beware of the locomotive." The locomotive now "bewares" and comes to a full stop before rolling over the crossing. This practice may cause a few seconds' delay to passengers, but it saves the railroads a considerable amount by relieving them of the necessity of stationing crossing men at points where there are but four or six trains a day. Spring Clearances Are Lessened by Usual Use During the inspection of the new car while one is jotting down the various identification marks and numbers, it is a good plan to measure the clearance between the centers of the springs and the frame just above. Later on, when the car has been given a season or so of hard work, it will be found that the clearances are less. If springs have settled more than a quarter of an inch as indicated by the variations in clearance measurements, the car will not ride easily. White Crosses Too Depressing in Ohio Motorists in Ohio have started a movement for the repeal of the law which requires the erection of a white cross at every spot along a highway where there has been a traffic fatality. To pass these crosses continuously stimulates more careful driving, it is said, but it also has a depressing effect on travelers. One 75-mile stretch of highway has 69 crosses along its sides, nearly one to a mile. ```markdown ``` Instrument Will Tell Needs of Auto Battery Inventor Holding New Device. The "Uno," an instrument invented by C. W. Ward, of Los Angeles, by which the motorist can tell whether his battery needs charging and also if it has sufficient water. The device is a galvonometer acting as a voltmeter and is connected with the battery by means of a lead electrode with another insulated wire running to the starter switch. The inventor is holding the new device. Clever Job in Freeing Sticking Acceler Experienced motorists do not get alarmed when the accelerator, underlubricated at its various points of anchorage or suffering from a deficient spring tension, begins to stick slightly. They merely pull it up with the sides of their shoes. Sometimes it becomes second nature for them to resort to this practice. That is wrong. No matter how skilful one is in freeing a sticking accelerator, there are times when failure is inevitable and the punishment is inflicted upon the transmission gears. When the accelerator sticks, have it freed at once. AUTOMOBILE FACTS The public has averaged an investment of $1,000,000 a year for the past ten years in good roads. Happening to be on a motor highway is probably a modern town's easiest way of getting on the map. Something else the old-timers did not receive when they bought a new horse was free service for six months or a year. The nation rejoices happily in the possession of an ex-President who is not afraid to use a little old last year's car. Do not have the valve clearance set closer than the factory directions call for. When set too close the valves will not seat properly when the engine is hot.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929 BEIGE AND BROWN COLOR SCHEMES EXPLOITED FOR DAYTIME ENSEMBLES CAU INTERNATIONAL BATHING HOUR FASHIONS STRESS ENSEMBLES OF PERMANENT MOIRE THE BEACH ENSEMBLES which combine gay print with plain continue to feature on fashion's "front page." If the print in question happens to be a handsome silk in shades of beige and brown, and the material from which the coat is made, a beige basket weave, as instanced in the model pictured, then indeed are Madam Mode's instructions carried out to the letter. In regard to beige and brown and kindred tones, they are the chic colors for the immediate moment—a fact attested in matter of costumes for every hour of the day and evening. The theory that brown and associated shades are strictly an autumn and midwinter proposition has been disproved. Quite the smartest suits for travel and town, wear are those tailored of soft leafy brown covert. The blouse of tangerine crepe, linen or satin climaxes the color study. For evening the frock of dusky brown net, muchly berruffled and ex- BATHING HOUR FA ENSEMBLES OF IN REGARD to media for the making of the bathing suit, fashion is no respecter of fabrics. Silk, satin, gingham, jersey, crepe or wool, cotton or silk rayon, gay prints or plain knit, all have their place in the list of approved materials. In fact stylists are taking delight in exploiting weaves of every type for the bathing costume. The latest recruit called into service for the fashioning of water-sports modes is moire. Time was when the suggestion of moire to apparel frolicsome water nymphs would have been ascribed to the mind wanderings of a most impractical enthusiast. But now! Moire qualifies as a medium-elect for the chic bathing suit. There's a reason for this sudden acceptance of moire as a practical and handsome material for bathing styles. Fact is, a miracle has been performed in that celanese moire has been so processed as to make it waterproof—its patterning being permanent. Permanent moire in bright blue enters into the making of the trig bathing ensemble pictured here. The yoke blouse with a "sun back," also the y Your Co or an Acqu tremely bouffant, has become a favorite with the smart set. As to daytime ensembles of silk print, when done in tones of browns and yellows or creamy beige the topotch of chic is achieved. Accessories which highlight the new browns, ranging from pale beige to vibrant reddish browns and on to darker tones, are outstanding. Especially in the matter of scarfs is brown played in every key. Favorite types are the long narrow scarfs formed of patches of brown, capucine and cream or pale beige silk seamed together in triangles or squares. A scarf in tones of brown calls for a pocketbook repeating the same colors. Among the handsomest handbags exploited this season are those corded in a solid patterning. When carried out in tones of brown and capucine they are especially attractive. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1929, Western Newspaper Union. SHIONS STRESS PERMANENT MOIRE flaring trunks with a hip yoke, are important style details. A short matching coat completes the ensemble. And now what about beach wraps to wear after the splash is over? Of the hosts of weaves suitable for beach capes and coats, rubberized terry cloth comes as near attaining the ideal as a fabric may. Sometimes the terry cloth is in a solid color. Just as often it is gaily patterned and the very swapper touch is attained in blazer-striped terry cloth. Loose coats of white jersey are charming. With a bathing suit styled of black jersey with plips and buttons in white, the all-white beach wrap makes a fetching finish. There is every incentive to make the beach coat a "thing of beauty," for fashion is appropriating it to other uses than that of bedecking happy promenaders along the water's edge. Many a frivolously colorful beach coat is playing a versatile role. For country wear over the sleeveless frock it radiates a vacation spirit which tunes into the galeacy of a summer landscape.

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 (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland. Apr. 5th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gregg. 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. I will be hard for me to believe that Rev. Russell S. Brown is a good friend, 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 his suasion and diplomacy as methods 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 "Nagry 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 editor; but I presume you got it from me and 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 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 exist an 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 timely and right to open the City Hall and girls 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 told the rep to say. Mr. George favored the rep, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzetta, Cleveland, O. 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 being being the training of nurses and interns. According to my best recollection, 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 and did so seriously the services 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 Editor Gazette. Cleveland O Community. Isabel S. in the bears of the local desiring and to our object- time that this would be true with re- ference to colored intereses. He was accustomed to explaination because 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, 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 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 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 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. 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—ll, not!" 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. SULZMAN, BLOSSOM, HOPKINS. The girls' farm maintained by the city in Brecksville was officially christened Blossom Hill by the City Council, Monday, June 3, in honor of Dudley S. Blossom, director of welfare in the cabinet of the city manager. Councilman John M. Sulzman, author of the resolution, declared that "if ever a name is worthy of immortalization, it is the name of Blossom". Hot air! "Immortalization", John, for steadfastly refusing to permit taxpaying citizens of this city to send their boys who wish to interne and girls who wish to become trained nurses to that PUBLIC institution known as the City Hospital? Sulzman should introduce another and similar resolution to encompass the "immortalization" of another such "worthy", no less a person than that other color-line individual, City Manager Hopkins, and then resign from the City Council. Any person who has so little regard for the near 50,000 Afro-Americans in this city as Blossom, Hopkins and Sulzman have no business holding public office in a community or city like Cleveland. When the charter- amendment election day, Aug. 20, arrives we will have a splendid opportunity to settle with Hopkins and Blossom but we will have to wait a few months to get even with the loquacious councilman, John M. Sulzman. The only member of the City Council to vote against the insulting Sulzman resolution was Mr. Potter, and we have three members of that more or less August body—Brown, Gregg and George. Where were they that not one of them had the guts to arise to his feet and tell the Council the truth from our standpoint? How did they vote? What in the world do they think they are in the City Council for, anyhow? Fine (?) representatives of a people! Whither are we drifting? Sulzman understood our people's attitude toward the color-line twins, Blossom and Hopkins, because it was only last week, in a E. 55th St. street-car that the writer explained it to him. Draw your own conclusions. LATER: Gregg, George and Brown voted FOR the resolution! Lord, have mercy! Subscribe NOW! RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice, not all alike." "I write delitely—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." H. F. Wells.
