The Woman's International League for Peace Praises the Entertainment of Mrs. De Priest—Congressman De Priest, Speaks and Is Praised. Washington, D. C.,—Mrs. Herbert Hoover's recent invitation to Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of the Afro-American representative from Illinois, to attend a White House tea "is a happy step in the direction of more normal and wholesome race relations," the Woman's International League (white) for Peace and Freedom has written Mrs. Hoover. "We believe that your hospitality to Mrs. De Priest adheres to the best American tradition of democracy," the letter said. Of course it does. MR. DE PRIEST ANSWERS. Some southern Democrats have been feeling quite badly because Mrs. Hoover, the other day, entertained Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of an Afro-American representative in Congress from Illinois. The southerners, brought up in an atmosphere which gives them a closed mind on at least this one subject, felt that they had been "betrayed" by the incident. Representative De Priest, when the furore was called to his attention, gave out the following statement: "It's all a lot of moonshine for any one who that a question of social equality was raised in a wife's going to a White House tea. My wife was invited not because she was white or black, Republican or Democrat. She was not invited because Mrs. Hoover thought anything of her personally. She was invited because she happened to be the wife of a man who was a member of Congress. That's all there was to that." "These southern citizens, these haters, are trying to stir up prejudice and help themselves politically in those southern states that voted against Al Smith and gave electoral votes to the negroes. The political feet will be to drive all colored votes back into the Republican party." "There can be no social equality question as between races. Social equality is all a matter of individual taste. It isn't national or racial. For instance, there are men and women of my own race with whom I would not have any social relations or contact. There are whites with whom I would not associate. I associate with persons I meet. I keep away from people I don't like." As the New York World says, in reprinting the same statement, "this is so clearly put, so profound in its grasp of the issues involved, that there is little to add to it."—Editorial, Cleveland (O.) Daily Press. WHAT MRS. DE PRIEST WORE! Washington, D. C.—At the now famous White House tea, Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of our only Congressman, wore a charming ensemble of the liveliest pale blue georgette. The simplicity of the costume was relieved only by a beautiful rhinstone buckle on the left side of the finely pleated skirt. A coat, the shortest of jackets, completed the ensemble. She wore a large hat of rosey-gray hair braid, trimmed with a cluster of hand-cut dove-ray velvet leaves, and a velvet rose placed modishly on the underbrim, framed her face becomingly. She carried a lovely bag which matched her hat, rose-gray water snake slippers and a large pointed fox scarf. Mrs. De Priest was graciously received both by Mrs. Herbert Hoover and the ladies of the cabinet, who, as usual, assisted in entertaining. The tea was perfect in its detail and not a single untoward incident arose to mar the affair in the slightest. This is what rankles in the bosoms of the "hill-billie" and "cracker" assack legislators of the far South, particularly those of Texas and Florida, who made such assinine spectacles of themselves with their recent Hoover-De Priest resolutions. Robert M. Caver, Jr., stopped in the city, recently, when en route to San Francisco and Australia. He visited his father, Rev. R. M. Caver, pastor of Bethany Baptist church. Young Caver is a tenor and has a contract with an eastern company. He has had five years' study in Damrosch institute, New York City and is very promising. MOORFIELD STORY, ESQ.. President of the N. A. A. C. P.— Brief History of the Organiza- tion—Its 20th Annual Meet. William English Walling, a southern visiting in Chicago at the time of the 1909 Springfield, Ill. riots, was the father of the N. A. A. C. P. He saw the riots, and shortly afterward, in company with Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villard and Charles Edward Russell, called a conference at which the association was formed. All the foregoing are white. An organization, known as Annamar Movement, headed by Wm. E. Baggins, who died in Crisis, joined the organization and Moorfield Storey, Boston lawyer and former attorney-general of Massachusetts, who had been private secretary to Senator Charles Sumner of that state, was named president and is still serving, the 84 years of age and too feeble to attend the present conference in this city. Walter White, assistant secretary of the association, Tuesday addressed a noon meeting of the local Women's International League (white) and the Boise State University's City Club. The conference opened, Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock with a mass meeting at Mt Zion Cong. church, Charles W. White, president of the local branch, presiding. Mayor John D. Marshall welcomed the delegates to Cleveland, and the principal address was delivered by Mary White Ovington, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who discussed "Twenty Years of the N. A. A. C. She is one of its founders. James Johnson is its secretary, Wm Pickle, its secretary and Robert Bagall, former rear officer of Andrews P. E. church, this city, secretary of branches of the organization. Two honor awards for meritorious service will be presented during the seven-day meet. The first, the Walker medal, will go to Mrs. Memphis T. Garrison of Gary, W. Wa., as a result of her plan for selling Christmas stamps for the benefit of the association. The second, the Spingarn medal, which is given annually to the Afro-American, male or female, who is judged to have made the most notable contribution in any field of endeavor, will go to Dr. Mordecaloe. The first president of Howard university, Washington, D.C. Tuesday is the last day of the conference. CHARLES EDWARD WEIR. Annapolis, Md.-Charles Edward Weir, nominated by Congressman Oscar De Priest for a cadetship at the U. S. Naval Academy, failed to pass the physical examination for entrance on account of myopia, (nearsightedness of the eyes), last week Tuesday. The failure of Weir to qualify leaves two vacancies at the academy to be filled by the Chicago Congressman. Weir, who is in Washington with his parents, for the summer, is expected to return to the University of Chicago, this fall, where he will resume his studies. The next entrance ex- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DE PRIEST PARTY A GREAT SUCCESS! A Gala Crowd Attends—Splendid Programs — Neval Thomas Speaks—Reception and Dance. Washington, D. C. — The Hon. Richard Yates and the Hon. Oscar De Priest, representative-at-large from Illinois, and representative of the First Illinois congress district, respectively, were the two members of Congress who attended the musical and reception at the Washington Convention on Friday night, given under the auspices of a citizens' committee headed by Mr. DePriest. In the audience also was the Hon. E. E. Jones, register of the U. S. treasury. Practically all of the members of Congress, who had been invited, contributed to the cause of the N. A. A. C. P. by purchase of admissions, and a number promised to the congress, provided Congress did not recess before the music and reception. The gala crowd which turned out in support of the nation-wide drive for a $200,000 fund for defense of our rights in the Prof. Neval H. Thomas. courts was estimated by S. W. Rutherford, chairman of the admissions committee, as between 4,000 and 4,500. He predicted that Washington's quota of $5,000 would be raised as a result of the entertainment. The evening's program began with the introduction of Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., by Mrs. Julia W. Hamilton, assistant chairman of the citizens' committee. In the course of his remarks, Prof. Thomas said: "It is my sincerest wish that American statesmanship would have recourse to their arithmetic and learn, once and for all time, that thirteen, fourteen and fifteen come before eighteen". This reference to amendments to the Constitution brought prolonged applause. James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the A. A. C. P., was next meeting After acquiring the Assistant Dean-Priest as the "man of the hour" working not only for our advancement, but for the advancement of all Americans, he outlined what he described as the duty of his organization—to save black America's body and white America's soul. "If we fall," he said, "democracy in America fails with us. America can never have more democracy than it is willing to give to its black citizens". Mr. DrPriest thanked the audience for its hearty co-operation, expressing his belief that the occasion was but the beginning of several similar entertainments here to provide the N. A. A. C. P. with defense funds. He礼贺 toute to him, which brought other outfits, applause. He also thanked Col. Harper for the use of the auditorium, the first time for such an occasion. Concerning matters of so-called social equality he emphasized that he had nothing to say, "too much having been said already". The program was then turned over to Sherman H. Dudley, veteran comedian and theater-owner, who served as master of the comedy. Mr. Lewis Morris, wife of Mr. DrPriest's secretary, were given flowers by Mrs. Hamilton on behalf of the citizens' committee. She wore a gown of capri blue chiffon caught at the neck with a diamond pin and a necklace of sapphires and diamonds. Mr. Dudley presented twelve girls of the Mabel Jones studio of esthetic dancing, the S. Coleridge Taylor Choral society, a fashion show under the auspices of our fraternal organizations, Adrienne Marshall's Franciscans in esthetic dances and skirts, and a woman with a white hair, by the Wilson, Milton, and Martha Washington. The evening's entertainment closed with the singing of our national anthem by the audience standing. A reception followed, in the ex 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 A.C.P. COL. CHARLES W. FILLMORE. New York City.—Lt. Col. Charles W. Fillmore, veteran of both the Spanish-American and the recent World Wars, at present an 'auditor for the state tax commission, has formally announced his candidacy for executive member of the Republican county committee for the 19th Assembly district, which carries with it the duty of district party leader. Col. Fillmore, and Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D. C., still the greatest single figure in the N. A. A. C. P. when real work done for the race is taken into consideration, are natives of Springfield, Ohio. The Colonel is a former major of the old 9th Ohio Bat. and was senior captain of the "Old 15th" N. Y. under Col. Hayward, serving from the first organization of that regiment through its World War campaigning as the 369th A. E. F. He was cited for bravery during the battle of the Champagne and was awarded the Later, he served on staffs of Gen. Ballaue of the 92nd Division and Col. Roberts of the 370th A. E. F.

The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Co. inaugurates its new division between Cleveland and Part Stanley, Canada, today. The steamer, "City of Erie," will make daily trips, leaving Cleveland at 12, midnight, arriving at Port Stanley at 6 a. m., and leaving Port Stanley at 4 p. m., arriving in Cleveland at 9:30 p. m.; eastern standard time. "It is expected that this route will prove exceedingly popular with auto tourists, this summer," says Mr. T. F. Newman, president of the C. & B. Transit Co., "it saves them many miles of tedious driving over congested roadways." The distance across Lake Erie by steamer is only 87 miles and is the shortest route into Canada from northern Ohio. Combining the facilities of the Cleveland-Port Stanley, Canada division, with the Cleveland-Buffalo division, the C. & B. Line offers a delightfully fascinating triangle tour, taking in the most picturesque parts of Canada and America's scenic wonderland—Niagara Falls. This delightful tour may be taken from Cleveland via the C. & B. steamer to Port Stanley, from there to Niagara Falls and Buffalo by railway, bus or auto; from Buffalo to Cleveland via the C. & B.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 Has Councilman George buried his resolution favoring better service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. street-car lines? Ask him! --- Yes, "down with the discrimination at the City hospital", and also down with the three "Negro" councilmen who continue to refuse to act in the matter as they should have done months ago! Who was on that committee of "Negroes" that called on Director Dudley Blossom, last year or the year before, relative to the City Hospital color-lines and were insulted by him? Somebody inform The Gazette, please. Why does City Manager Hopkins refuse to hire any of our bands to play in the city parks during the summer season? This season he has given the work to Maurice Spitalny, Louis Rich and Walter Logan. There are many tax-payers of color in Cleveland. The concerts open, June 30. Get busy! Just note, Sunday afternoon at Public Hall (if you go), what the failure to invite Prof. Neval H Thomas as a speaker for the occasion has done to the mass meeting in the way of lack of attendance James W.

The local daily newspapers, many prominent members of the other group and all of ours have been very cordial in the welcome extended the N. A. A. C. P, which is holding its 20th Annual Conference in Cleveland, this week. This is as it should be. We sincerely trust that the meet will prove all its promoters hope for it and that one result will be a thorow awakening of the local branch. --- One of the many local patrons of "The Old Reliable" Gazette writes this paper to ask last year's promoters of a local "jim-crow" hospital, which they wished to name Mercy Hospital, to "make a public accounting of their receipts and expenditures" because "most of the money they received came from the public". "Dwight R. Williams", he says, "was secretary and promoter". Such an accounting should be made, at least to the subscribers and contributors. What was done with the money, gentlemen? An investigation, in an effort to learn the identity of the down-state politician of color who sought to interest appellate Judge Roscoe C. Hornbeck in the appeal of the bribery conviction of former Councilman Tom Fleming, was not launched by County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller, as indicated, last week Wednesday. A ruling on the appeal is expected, this week, following the hearing, last week, before a court composed of Judges Roy H. Williams of Sandusky, Harry W. Lloyd of Toledo and Silas H. Richards of Clyde. WORSE THAN AN OUTRAGE. Alfred Ward, Leroy Williams and E. J. Raspberry, president and principal officials who figured in the wreck of our Fraternal and Solvent Bank of Memphis in December, 1927, were paroled by Gov. Henry Horton of Tennessee, last week Wednesday. Ward, who was president of the bank and who signed a confession that he had stolen more than $50,000 of the bank's funds, was serving a ten year sentence. Williams, cashier, and Raspberry, teller, were each serving five year sentences. Wayman Wilkerson, a vice-president, committed suicide following the bank crash. Court action is still pending against T. H. Hayes of Memphis, Dr. J. W. Atkins, former cashier, and John L. Yancey, assistant cashier. The bank, which was one of our largest business institutions, closed its doors with impairments of assets reaching more than a million dollars, due, it is said, to embezzlement on the part of officials. Not only did thousands of depositors lose their life-savings but another bank and several other business institutions were engulfed in the crash. Several hundred children who had participated in a savings project in the public schools also lost their money. State bank examiners say that it is very doubtful that depositors will get more than fifteen per cent when the affairs of the defunct bank are finally wound up. As a matter of fact they will be lucky to get that much. The following figures were charged up against the various officers of the bank as they came to trial: Alfred F. Ward, $170.400.29; Leroy Williams, $2,475; T. H. Hayes, $21,203.23; J. L. Yancey and J. W. Atkins, $21,403.35. The following editorial reception was given the paroled officials on their return to Memphis, last week, by a local race publication: "The Gang's All Out—'cept cne. Boys, let's send in a petition for him. His crime is as naught compared with the ruthless deeds of those who have been shown clemency. He attempted robbery behind the curtain of darkness—the brazen bank tricolrobbed in the open day. "The Gang is out. Their friends have been at work. They are free. "Free! God, Never! "They will be hounded at every step, pointed out at every conventance, marked by every man or babe who sees them. They will be shackled with guilt and chained with remorse to the end of their days." It would be interesting to know upon what ground the governor of Tennessee paroled Ward, Williams and Raspberry, all members of the race! Lord, have mercy! WEST INDIAN "GARVEYITES" Battle in Harlem—Three Dying— Police Reserves Break Up Factional Battle. New York City—Three of 600 West Indian Negroes who staged a riot in Harlem, Sunday night, with sabers and empty rifles were near death, Monday morning; many others were nursing minor injuries and 15 were under arrest. Police reserves, armed with rifles and a sub-machine gun, broke up the battle after a free-for-all fight in which occupants of neighboring streets participated by throwing bottles and other missiles from the windows. The riot started when 50 members of the Universal Negro Improvement association, in their blue uniforms with glistening gold braid and branishing unloaded rifles, attempted to force an en- trance into thebury hall. The dawn club, a rival organization, was holding a meeting in the hall and its 500 members were similarly armed. A fight started and was broken up by police with gas bombs and machine guns. STARS HIMSELF Giving a Most Realistic Interpretation of King Saul's Suicide Scene. Washington, D. C.—Edward Sewell, janitor and amateur actor, is credited with one of the most realistic interpretations of the King Saul suicide scene that an audience at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. church ever saw. He was playing the part of King Saul in a play called "Men of the Bible." He was equipped with a crown, regal robes, white sandals and a three-foot saber. He reached his big moment in a scene in which Saul was supposed to stab himself. The idea, Sewell explained after a physician stopped an alarming flow of blood and took saewell's witches in the wound to let the sword pass between his body and arm. But his arm got in the way. "I'm going to do King Saul again in a couple of weeks, but I'll do some practicing on my aim in the meantime," he said. Hoover-DePriest Comment Southern Democrats have been making a lot of noise the past week because the wife of a colored congressman was among the guests at a White House tea for congressmen's wives, but we haven't heard southern congressmen resigning because a colored member sits in the same room with them, enjoying the same rights. They get paid for that, you know. Any time you hear of a southern Democratic giving up a paid job for any reason, kindly drop me a postcard.—J. W. Raper in Cleveland Daily Press. The well-known humorist, Will Rogers, says: "Who I entertain is my business; who Mrs. Hoover entertains is her business!" TUBBY THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 Prime Sport News Swallows Mouthpiece; So Bout Off! San Francisco, Calif.—A scheduled 10-round fight between Young Jack Thompson, our Los Angeles welterweight, and Jimmy Evans (white) of San Francisco ended in a ninth-round victory for Thompson here, Monday night, when Evans swallowed his rubber mouthpiece guard and was unable to defend himself. Referee Eddie White stopped Thompson who had taken the first rounds, dropped the fourth, and opened up a terrific attack against the San Francisco, and was well in the lead when the bout ended. Kid Chocolate Stops Johnston. Toronto, Can.—Kid Chocolate, Afro-Cuban flash, knocked out Jackie Johnston (white) of Toronto in the first of a scheduled ten-round bout here, Monday night. The swiftness of the Cuban's victory shocked a crowd of 9,000 into silence. Johnston was boxing well one moment and was being counted out in the next. A clean right to the jaw sent Johnston to the floor after 2 minutes and 47 seconds of fighting. The Cuban weighed 122, Johnston 126, in the semifinal. Chocolate's chocolate mate, "Black Bill" 112, Johnston of Harry Goldstein of Boston, in eight rounds. Goldstein weighed 111 pounds, "Black Bill" 110 1/2. Jones Captures the Belt. Boston, Mass.—"Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, O, gained the decision over Jack McVey of New York at Braves Field, Tuesday night, in a ten-round bout which rain prevented, the night previous. Jones received a beautiful and valuable belt, certifying that the Massachusetts boxing commission recognized him as the middleweight champion at it. It was a hard, close fight, and many disagreed with the decision. McVey, an elusive target for the hard-hitting Jones, who created a sensation here recently when he stopped Al Mello, New England welterweight champion. But the Akronite did manage to "get to" his man in the second, seventh and eighth rounds. There were no knockdowns. McVey was mighty dangerous himself at times, particularly in several of the earlier rounds. Jones sparted in the decision. McVey, his manager, said after the go that his man's next fight would be with Bucky Lawless at Taylor Bowl, Cleveland, July 9. Godfrey Wins Taylor Bowl. — George Godfrey won from Chuck Wiggins (white) on a technical knockout in the seventh of their scheduled twelve-round fight here, Wednesday night. Referee Johnny McGuire raised his hand after he had twice driven Wiggins George Godfrey. He was complete master of the situation at all stages after a very tame beginning and whaled Chuck with rights and lefts to the body as he held off his foe. Godfrey got a great hand as he entered the ring and the crowd groaned with astonishment when he removed the bathrobe. His weight was 239% and Wiggins' 194. He was the (whiter), local heavy-weight, ran into a fartier in Tom Williams of Chicago, losing an a technical knockout in the second round. He floored Williams twice for no counts in the opening session, but Williams occasionally planted a hefty right. Opening the second, Stanton went after a finisher, but suddenly Tom got across a good night slug to the head—a pip of a right and a left—a count. He tried to rise without a count. He popped back and Referee Berring raised Williams' hand. Next came Leroy Bryant of Golden Glove fame and Cleveland's "Jack Sharkey" (white). Bryant slapped him into submission in the second round, putting Jack to the floor twice for nine counts and then planting him thru the ropes. Referee Berring halted it and made the award to Bryant.

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 authority, to "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" 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 per the definition of that shall be defined by person receiving it from earning a livelihood 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 or damages as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.1) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received 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 five thousand dollars (93 v. 12. 5). 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 damnation, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damage, a 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 or children surviving such decedent, 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 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 such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action or 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 include it with the costs of action, in the county, preceding their level of 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 guardian 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, in which the victim is buried, 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: UBS. ed. I representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. I costs in tax levy. I inst member of mob. I 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.) A member of 238.8 countries carries a prisoner into 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 dispurse 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: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the provider or his employee, keeper or manager of a building, a housing 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 color, the full enjoyment of the accessory or privileges of the cities 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 not more than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or person 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!

Detroit, Mich. — Recently Mr. H. Arthur Gordon, justice of peace, upheld Michigan's Civil Rights law in awarding Arcelellus Ellis $500 and costs against the Blackstone Theater, 16 Michigan Ave., this city. Ellis and the girl sit together two tickets for the theater. The student sits in the first four rows. Ellis refused. They sat in the center of the house. The usher and manager both tried to make them go to "the first four rows" or get out. They wouldn't do either, but remained seated where they were. After their futile attempt, the manager and usher called a policeman who deliberately threw them out of the theater. Ellis started his $500 damages, the next day, with the real officer. He intends to sue the policeman's bondsmen just as soon as he locates him, since the theater manager refuses to give his number or name.

SUMMERTIME does make one feel just like that, but alackaday! it is not written in the stars of destiny for all of us to realize the wish to be sailors-free as expressed in this little ditty—anyway, we can have the fun of copying their fashions. Which is exactly what we are doing this season. It's a fact, the mode's latest caprice is to turn to the themes nautical for inspiration. Even the decorations on our silk scarfs have gone marine—ships go sailing over silken seas whose waves are painted blue, colors are white and blue, ties are knotted sailor fashion and a favorite beach costume adopted by young moderns tops sailor-made blue serge trousers with a white tuck in sailor blouse cut correctly to the minutest detail. It's the popular idea, too, for the up-to-date young miss to add to the summer wardrobe a trig sailor suit, coat, hat, tie and all. It comes to it "first" fashions, go seek them among Hollywood stars and there will you behold them, even FANTASTIC APPLIC FROCKS FOR IN CREATING styles for little folks Paris designers are laying great stress on handwork ornamentation. Particular enthusiasm is expressed for applique effects. One notes on coats and dresses of every material a preponderance of applied design which manipulates colors and fabrics in strikingly modernistic patterns. There are the clever felt coat and hat ensembles, for instance. They sound a note of originality which is very refreshing. Almost amusing are some of these "sets" made of gay felt, in that grotesque little figures are cut of multi-colored felt, the same appliqued in unique borderings and such on a monotone colored background. The colorings are as lively as imagination can picture—a row of bright flowers or fruits on perhaps a pale green felt coat or bright blue, or even orange color for the background. If you are looking for a coat, or a sleeveless jacket, or a hat-and-bag set for your child to wear at the seashore this summer, do not miss seeing these cunning felt styles. Don't T But Give it before the world at large has sensed their coming importance. So when slim, suave and altogether lovely Laure La Plante wears a natty sailor suit as pictured herewith, be assured that her costume carries a style message of convincing chic. This striking sailor outfit consists of a navy blue coat with embroidered chevrons and brass buttons worn over a gray flannel dress. The knotted silk tie, the sailor collar, the tam matching the gray of the frock, the shoes done in blue and gray combine to achieve a unified ensemble. A valuable asset, speaking from the standpoint of the practical and the useful, to the woman who goes in for summer sports is the sleeveless sailor blouse. Very simple are these blouse types—made of shantung or washable crepe, pique or linen and preferably in white rather than in color. Of course they have a large sailor collar, which is nonchalantly open at the throat. A sailor tie of navy or black silk adds a characteristic touch, but some prefer to omit this. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (@ 1929, Western Newspaper Union) QUE ENLIVENS R WEE PARISIENNES The dress which the wee Parisienne in the picture is wearing, shows to a nicety the trend toward bright-colored appliqué design. Not only is the play or color indicative of the times but the bold conventional patterning applied on a simple white background is characteristic of present-day design. This winsome party dress is of white crepe de chine. About the irregular hemline is a triple piping done in three colors, peach, nile and blue. The modernistic design is worked in the same colors of crepe as the piping. This frock ought to prove an inspiration to mothers who make their children's clothes, for it could be carried in pique or gingham or any of the many gay cotton weaves. However, for the party frock, no fabric gives any better satisfaction than does crepe de chine. Parisian stylists are employing this always dependable silk weave for ever so many of their loveliest "dressy" frocks. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (@. 1929, Western Newspaper Union) Throw Away to a Friend THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JUNE 29. 1929 THE BIRTH OF A WEDDING DRESS FLOUNCES AND FURBELOWS ENDOW THE SUMMER WRAP WITH CHARM CAPRICIOUS, whimsical, charm- ing, beguiling, unique, graceful, unusual—one adjective is as ap- plicable as another when it comes to describing the fanciful wraps which are lending interest to the summer style parade. BRIDES, bridesmaids, trousseaux, honeymoons by air or sea or land, oh! the June air is rife with romance. Shall the bride wear traditional white satin or shall novelty enter in? What color scheme will be most effective for the bridal cortege? A formal church or a simple home wedding? These are all subjects under discussion pro and con. In the conventional yesteryear, the mode declared that white must be white for the bridal robe, and that settled it. In this day and age, however, "self-expression" leads to independent thinking when it comes to selecting one's wedding gown. Wherever, the modern bride in some instances defies precedence by choosing to wear satin in a most delectable flesh-pink tint when she makes her marriage vows. There's something indescribably lovely about a delicately pink-toned frock for the bride. The exquisite robe in the picture adopts this choice color scheme. It is a princess model with a full train, the upper portion of the dress being made of handsome lace. Long perfect fitting sleeves of the lace give a fine dignity to this creation. There is any amount of fine hand-wrought beadwork lavished on the dress, especially where the design is followed where satin and lace join. FLOUNCES AND FU THE SUMMER W CAPRICIOUS, whimsical, charm- ing, beguiling, unique, graceful, unusual—one adjective is as ap- plicable as another when it comes to describing the fanciful wraps which are lending interest to the summer style parade. Very often the summery wrap is a separate theme, but just as often it is a component part of an ensemble costume—which does not, however, interfere with its doing duty with other frocks as well as the one to which it is closely related. In the picture this ensemble of feminized styling is made of peach-colored georgette. The coat of the matching georgette is worn over a sleeveless frock. Between wraps of georgette and of transparent velvet there is keen competition. Being of light and ally texture, one welcomes their entrance into the summer mode, especially since so many of the gowns are made sleeveless, which renders a wrap which can be easily thrown off and on almost an indispensable thing. With every flowered chiffon frock a velvet coat or cape of gay hue has become the watchword of the mode. Sometimes these are made quite sim- y Your Co or an Acqu The majority of brides this season are expressing preference for close-fitting Dutch caps of either lace or tulle. In this instance the voluminous tulle veil is set to a cap of beautiful lace. While satin is the fabric greatest in favor at the moment, owing to the fact that the more conservative styles have returned to their own this season, other fabrics such as tulle, faille, and, for summer weddings, georgette are likewise sponsored. Generally speaking, honors are divided between two types, namely, the princess versus the period theme. For the formal church wedding the long-sleeved satin and lace effect as here pictured is eminently correct and especially appealing. When it comes to period gowns—which, by the way, make youthful brides look more youthful—many quaint and fascinating ideas are introduced. For the picturesque informal wedding the sleeveless gown with the short-waisted fitted bodice with its very, very bountiful skirt lays siege to the heart of many a bride-to-be. Pointed hemlines, scallops, flouces, circular tiers, all contribute chic and charm to the summer bridal costumes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. @ 1829, Western Newspaper Union. RBELOWS ENDOW WRAP WITH CHARM ply—perhaps just a straight loose coat with a scarf collar. Then again the wrap is a puzzling thing of circular ruffles, capetets and huge bows. Some of the chiffon or georgette coats—and, by the way, they are as practical as they are handsome—indulge in many fine knife plaitings; others "say it" with circular ruffles galore. In the instance of the model in the picture chile supreme is expressed through circular ruffles about the hemline. Speaking of georgette for the summer ensemble, no fabric is more commendable. For one thing, it wears. Then in most instances it can be tubed satisfactorily; at any rate it cleans most perfectly. If you have never owned a tailored georgette ensemble you have missed one of the chiefes: of sartorial joys. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1928 New York Times. py of The maintenance w CAUGHT "FLATFOOTED"! COUNCILMEN BROWN AND GEORGE SAY COUNCILMAN GREGG DID SAY IT. Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This When Councilman Russel S. Brown 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 expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution. What do you think of that? Our boys and girls have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this city for more than fifty years. Brown is also alleged to have said that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated on the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Edition of October 1929 Dear Sir;—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that Rev. Brown reported such a falsehood. I or I have high regard for him as a lawyer. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that, I have more confidence in moral suasion and diplomacy as methods of achievement than radi- Very truly yours, E. J. Gregg, M. D. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for 'Negro' advancement in Cleveland" we have failed to learn of it, the we have watched his career ever since he landed, from "down home"—Editor. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I—appreciate your calling me over the telephone and apprizing me of that part of Dr Gregg's letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the information which was the basis of your editorial but I presume you got it from some one who had talked with me 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 to act in 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". 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 existed an organization of white nurses which would not allow their members to work with colored nurses, or with 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 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 could to say. Mr. George favored the repugnance, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Corotte, 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 for all people for the training of nurses and internes. 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 in the city Bureau of护理 during the morale of and affect seriously the services thereof, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregg further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the 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 sure member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such rot, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, have mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as for the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways". GREGG'S LATEST HOSPITAL IDEA Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, April 15, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now 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. Shamel 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 Gazzette which we published, last week, and give again, this week, for the express purpose of combating just such a statement as Gregg is credited by our local contemporary. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councillman, that he uses such language in referring to the truthful statements of his colleagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we understand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constituents and the public think of him? To another question, 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. Ailer, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the members of your congregation "church" Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color in a hole and a big one, too. But that is not a "marker" to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temerity to be a candidate for re-election, this fall. Goodbye! Gregg. SULZMAN, BLOSSOM, HOPKINS. The girl's 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. Counselman 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!
