Lee of the State Department at Wilberforce, is again at the University of Chicago, where he spent much of last summer. He is continuing his graduate studies this summer. Prof. Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Boll J. S. Lee, among our leading residents of this city, writes that "there is quite a large number of our students, from many sections of the country, taking the summer courses at the University, this year". "At President Lincoln's second inaugural reception, 1865, the Hon. Frederick Douglass was entertained at the White House and as he entered the reception hall the greeting that Lincoln gave him, in leaving a group of close friends to greet Douglass, was so very marked in its warmth that historians have spoken of it in their publications. "President Calvin Coolidge entertained the president of Haiti when he was here, a few years ago, in attendance upon the eucharistic conference. "President Coolidge entertained President Borno of Haiti at a diplomatic reception. "1823—Mrs. Herbert Hoover, the president's wife, entertained the wife of Congressman Oscar De Priest of Illinois at a White House tea, a few weeks ago." RESCUES TWO WHITE GIRLS From Three White Flends—Tapley Cisco, Inc. and Micro Medal and Recognition. Sloux City, Iowa.—Nine years ago the wife of David Tapeley, age 38, employed at the Cudahy Packing plant, was murdered by a white brute. On a recent Wednesday, he went to the rescue of two white girls being assaulted by three white hoodlums. In the ensuing battle, during which he used a knife with such vigor that the hoodlums fled. One of them was so badly cut he died, the next day. The other two are under arrest at Ponca City, Neb. and face long terms in prison for attempting criminal assault. Tapeley, who had that Wednesday off, was fishing at a lonely place on the Missouri river. He was killed by a man who had been lured into the woods by the three men and were being badly mauled. Despite the odds of three to one, Tapeley sailed in and saved the girls. DePriest to Nominate Holstein. New York City.—Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago will nominate Casper Holstein of this city, leading candidate against J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R., for grand exalted ruler of our Elks, at the annual meeting of the order in Atlantic City in August. This was announced from the Holstein headquarters here, last week. N. Y. EDUCATORS ASK EQUALITY FOR ALL! Chicago, Ill.—The American Federation of Teachers, assembled in its thirteenth annual convention here, last week, was presented resolutions prepared by the New York delegation, urging immediate abolition of Dr. R. R. Moton. "jim-crow" schools; equal school facilities for all; equal expenditures per child in all schools, irrespective of race or color; equal pay for colored and white teachers doing the same grade of work, and selection and promotion of teachers on an equal basis irrespective of race or color. Atlanta, Ga.—Education was seen as a solution to the race question by Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I. Institute, in an address, last week Tuesday, before the representative assembly of the National Education Association in convention here. He said we were not interested in describing as "social equality" (no more than any other group or class of Americans) and were as (foolishly) opposed to intermarriage as the white race, but we did desire equality in education and citizenship. ALONZO S. PARHAM CADET AT WEST POINT Gets Single Room With Stone Floor Gets Double Room With Stone Floor and a Very Cool Reception. The Afro-American candidates for the City Council in wards 11, 12, 17 and 18 are already numerous and increasing in number almost daily. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FACTIONAL DIFFERENCES AMONG LEADERS ARE ALLEGED AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Afro-Americans Have Only Five Presidential Commissions None of Which President Hoover Issued Three Minor Places-Perry Howard's Job. Washington, D. C. — Unofficial word comes from the White House that President Hoover is favorably disposed toward the political aspirations of some of our people and would reward those who have been faithful to the party but is hindered by their factional differences. Those Afro-Americans holding Presidential offices have not been disturbed, but in the four months of the Hoover admittance, not a single one of the race has been nominated to the President. However, three minor appointments have been made by his cabinet officers. Two were to fill vacancies caused by the death of incumbents. The third was made because there was no alternative, the only person qualified for the position under the civil service being an Afro-American, Emory A. Bryant, Jr., was appointed as chief clerk at large in the railway mail service of the railway department, succeed the late John D. Grant, Enrique J. Davis, a young man of Washington, D. C. was appointed to succeed the late Thomas L. Jones as an assistant U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia. This appointment has no special political significance the Mr. Davis was endorsed by the leaders of the District of Columbia Republican organization. Thornton G. Nightingale was appointed postmaster at Blenheim, Albemarle County, Va. This is a fourth class post office. This is a fourth class upon the recommendation of Representative J. A. Garber (Repub.) of the seventh congressional district of Virginia. Only Five Confirmations. They are the only Americans holding commissions from the President.

Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:—I am in receipt of recent copies of The Gazette for which I thank you very much. You are the same race fighter as of old. Yes, I am a candidate for leader or executive member of the Republican county committee of the 19th Assembly district and expect to be elected over the present white incumbent. The district is nine-tenths colored and one-tenth white. What a joke, not to be elected? Besides, because an African-American, semblyman and an alderman, and try to nominate one for congress. Our voters all live in Harlem and we cannot any longer stand for white leadership. When are you going to make me a visit? With personal regards, I remain. Your old friend. (Col.) Chas. W. Fillmore. Raised Its Endowment. Lincoln University, Pa.—President W. H. Johnson has announced that the endowment campaign for $500,000 in which the University has been engaged for the past two years, has been successfully completed by securing $250,000 in cash and subscriptions and thus meeting the conditions of the General Education Board. New York City, which offered an equal amount if the campaign was completed before July 1, 1929. Miss Thelma A. Garland of Boston was the guest of Miss Thelma L.

Y.—Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, octroon wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, scion of an old New York family, last Friday signed complaints in a $500,000 alienation of affections with she will bring against Philip Rhinelander, her father-in-law. Mrs. Rhinelander plans the suit, her attorneys announced, along with the separation action which she will bring against her husband. The latter action has been contemplated for some time, but has been delayed because they did not know the whereabouts of Kip. He was recently located in Las Vegas, Nev. Mrs. Rhinelander will charge that her father-in-law was taken his son away from her after they had lived happily together for three months. Las Vegas, Nev.—Harley A. Harmon, counsel for Kip Rhinelander, said, last week, that Kip's suit for divorce, filing of which originally was planned for July 1, would be filed some time between July 15 and Aug. 1. In preparation for this, his father's account from the daughter of a New Rochelle (N. Y.) taxi-driver, Rhinelander established residence in Nevada, last January. 20th Annual N. A. A. C. P. Meet. Following the award of the Spingarn medal at Public Music Hall, last week Tuesday evening, the closing day of the conference, Col. J. E. Spingarn of New York City, treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P., and donor of the medal, spoke, and the Gilpin Players presented "The No 'Count Boy'," by Paul Green, which won the Pulitzer prize, a few years ago. Before adjournment in the afternoon, a resolution was adopted calling for an investigation of alleged discrimination in the distribution of public funds in Ohio. The resolution was prompted by reported discrimination against Afro-American students in Ohio University at Athens. Another resolution asked that the 1930 census be taken accurately, especially in the South, where heretofore "great discrepancies and deliberate misstatements have been written into the records". They Each Get $45,000 Providence, R. I. — Bequests of $25,000 and $20,000 to Hampton N. & A. Institute and Tuskegee N. & I.

Watch The Gazette, beginning next week, for the information relative to the city manager plan and charter amendment fight you will need. We hope that Karl Phillips, a Commissioner of Conciliation in the U. S. Labor Department, is doing some real conciliating with his "White House guests" articles. There is room for a lot of it, in this country just at this time. --- Councilman E. J. Gregg's meeting of doctors and others favoring a "jim-crow" hospital for Cleveland, which assembled in the P. W. A. two weeks ago, and barred Councilman George and Atty. Alex. H. Martin out of the meeting when they sought to attend it, sent a delegation of about ten doctors to see City Manager Hopkins, last week, the same day Councilman R. S. Brown saw him in opposition to the miserable project. There will be no "jim-crow" hospital, or "east side branch of the City Hospital" (the new name for one), in this city. Mark our prediction! --- "Safety Director Edwin D. Barry in office, in my opinion, is the most courageous and efficient safety director Cleveland ever had"—Attty, Chester K. Gillespie. Hold on! Chester; "hitch your horse" for awhile. You are driving entirely too fast. Wait until the Woodland Hills bathhouse and bathing pool season is further advanced; or better, wait at least until the season is over before you make so broad and generous a statement. Let us see how Director Barry protects those of our people who seek to use both bathhouse and pool, out there, before "falling on his neck" with praise that their last season's experiences do not justify by a good deal! Forget your political ambitions, Chester, for awhile and "put the soft pedal on that extreme (Barry) praise organ". It will help you. --- The "faithful" Hooverites of color, hungry for jobs, are getting very uneasy and tired waiting for the President to visit political "lightning" upon them. They are beginning to whine out loud. Well, we are waiting, too, but for another purpose. We want to see if the "illy-white's" of the South and the Ku Klux Klan which has just moved its headquarters back to Atlanta, Georgia, from the nation's capital, have the political "drag" with the President they tried so hard for months after the inauguration of Mr. Hoover to make the country believe they had. It begins to look as if Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national committee, and his alleged association with the "illies" and the Kluxes during the campaign, placed the President in the wrong light before the country. We shall see. ---!!!--- Cadet Alonzo S. Parham, we salute you, and wish from the bottom of our heart that we could do something to make your lot a little easier among those victims of a fool-American-prejudice you are compelled to mix with while you are at West Point U. S. Military Academy, Lieut. Henry S. Flipper and those two Ohio Afro-Americans, Lieut. John Alexander and Col. Charles Young, "weathered the storm" at West Point. Why not you? We believe you can and will do so "for the good and welfare" of our people. Exceptional patience, forbearance, willpower, backbone, sticktotiveness, scholastic ability, manhood and several other important things will be necessary to enable you to win. May you do so is the earnest wish of all Afro-Americans and thousands of other intelligent and broad-minded Americans. Any mingling of the races upon a basis of social equality is intolerable and no precedent can justify it. The ill effects of acts tending toward equal social recognition between the races are thoroughly demonstrated by the recent contemptible public utterances made before mixed audi- ences by the Negro whose wife was the recipient of the invitation mentioned in the resolution.—Gov. Dan Moody of Texas. Somebody ought to tap this Texas "cracker" on the "coco" long enough to make him realize that no part of the world subscribes to any such foot-sentiment as he blushes above but the part of this country he and his prejudiced kidney inhabit. Such silly talk cannot be heard anywhere else in the world. Congressmen Occar DePriest's and Hamilton Fish's characterizations of Dan's kind of anti-Hoover-DePriest- White - House-Tea southerners as "professional political vultures", "cowards", etc., does not impress Dan at all favorably, does it? Too bad, isn't it? THE HOOVERS, EDUCATORS! President and Mrs. Horbert Hoover gave a garden party on the White House grounds, recently, for World War veterans, without reference to race or color, of course. Among the daily newspaper pictures of scenes at the party was one of President Hoover shaking hands with two nurses (white) (who were wheeling a crippled Afro-American veteran about in a chair), while Mrs. Hoover was shaking the hand of the veteran referred to. He was seated in the chair and evidently was greatly enjoying the wife of the President's most pleasing recognition and cordial treatment. Now let the State Assemblies of Texas, Florida and Georgia do some more "DePriest resolving" and U. S. Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina and Tom Heflin of Alabama, Gov. Dan Moody of Texas and their southern "Negrohating" kidney howl to their hearts' content and let the American people again see how thoroly silly and ridiculous an insane fool-prejudice against a race, or group, can make them. This World War veteran incident coupled with that of the Hoover-De Priest White House tea of recent date, is sure enlightening all the American people which of course includes our people. More power to you, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover! TOWN CLERK 47 YEARS The Cadiz, Ohio, Daily Times of a recent date carries a two-column write-up of our long-time friend, Prof. Wm. H. Lucas of that city, that is most complimentary indeed and deserved, every bit of it. For forty-nine years, and until he retired in 1921, Prof. Lucas headed our public schools of that wealthy little city, one of the oldest in the state. Through the long periods of service as teacher and principal, and town clerk, he has taken active interest in our church, lodge and the municipal affairs of Cadiz. Attorneys there say his work as a clerk is above the average, pointing to the fact that many men trained in the law are unable to prepare municipal legislation or bond issues to the satisfaction of bond buyers while the Cadiz clerk does such work so well that Cadiz tax-payers never have had to employ experts to do such work, or are forced to pay extra interest because of delays in bond issues resulting from legal or clerical errors. In opening its excellent and lengthy write-up, the Cadiz Times says: "Cadiz, famous for years as the richest town in the country for its size, lays claim to another distinction in the person of Prof. William Henry Lucas who has served over 47 years as town clerk, and is unopposed as candidate for his 24th term. Prof. Lucas, a colored man, is very highly regarded throughout the Cadiz community. He has been accorded the unusual honor of not being opposed for re-election for more than 20 years. The secret of his success, according to Cadiz residents, is in his gentlemanliness, efficiency, courtesy and sincerity". And our voters of the city represent but one-fourth of its population. --- Close to ten of the $25,000 sought in the present drive, to pay off its debts, has been collected by St. James A. M. E. church. The pastor praises the work of George A. Myers, proprietor of the Holleden barber shop; the barber of the church; the Arthur Wade, the congregation and members of the fund committee, for their work in the campaign, at the services, Sunday evening. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1929 Prime Sport News Al. and Joc "Clean Up". Newark, N. J. —Al Brown of Panama, outpointed Vic Burrone (white) of New York City, in ten rounds here, last week. New York City —Baby Joe Gans of California outpointed Harry Wallach (white) of New York City, in ten rounds here, last Thursday. Chocolate to Box Smith. Chicago, Ill.—Kid Chocolate, sensational Afro-Cuban featherweight, will make his first appearance in a western ring, July 29, at the White Horse. The 16-year-old, who has been signed by Promoter Mique Mallow for a 10-round final bout with Steve Smith, Bridgeport, Conn. veteran, at 126 pounds. Al Brown Suspended. Chicago, Ill.—Al Brown, leading bantamweight and "Afro" from Panama, has been suspended indefinitely by the Illinois athletic commission for failure to carry out a contract for a bout in Denmark. The commission, Tuesday, barred Brown and his manager, Dave Lumiansky, for not having boxed Knute Larson at Copenhagen, although Lumiansky had signed a contract for Brown. The commission also criticized Lumiansky for having spread reports in this and abroad that Brown was recognized by National Boxing association as bantamweight champion. Something he really is just as Godfrey is the champion heavy weight pugilist of the world. Eddie Tolan. Champion. Denver, Colo. — Eddie Tolan stocky little University of Michigan Afro-American star, is the 1929 A. U. champion in the 100 and 200 yard dashes. Furthermore, Tolan can run faster against Colorado winds than Claude Bracey of Rice Institute, Frank Wyckoff, the "Glendale greyhound" or Russell Sweet of the Olympic club. He proved that July 4, in the senior championships, Tolan won the century dash against an 18-mile-an-hour wind in 10 seconds, and bucked a 13-mile-an-hour blow in taking the 220 in 21.9 seconds. His sensational, driving finish won him the 100, for his Wykoff he was away to a slow start and in third place 10 yards from the finish. In the 220 he came in fast on the last 100 yards and had plenty of room to spare on Wykoff, in second place. Kid Chocolate Whips Filipino. New York City.—Boxing like a finished product of the old school, Kid Chocolate, the Afro-Cuban, butchered ignatic Fernandez, the clever and fearless Filipino, in a lop-sided tent round bout, Wednesday night, before 18,000 fans at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. Chocolate fought the nearest thing to a perfect fight. He hackeaway at his iron-jawed opponent with stinging left jabs and right crosses, made a mug of him at long range, and showed his contempt for the Filipino's vaunted infighting ability by standing toe to toe with him in the closing rounds and actually making him break ground in exchanges. The Kid conducted himself like a veteran. He timed every punch, accuracy and seldom made with either once was he off balance and he was smart enough not to start swapping blows with Fernandez until the latter's punches had lost their steam. About all that could be said of Fernandez is that he was the last word in gameness, if that's any balm to his bruised physlognomy. Godfrey, the Champion "Heavy"! We saw the greatest piece of fighting machinery we have even seen, in action at Taylor bowl, this city, recently, when George Godfrey, the colored heavyweight, knocked out "Chuck" Wiggins in the seventh round of a scheduled 12-chapter affair. Weighing 239½ pounds with scarcely an ounce of superfluous flesh on his immense frame, Godfrey had wiggled as if he were a baby. Never did he have there been a heavyweight who approached this colored giant in strength. Not only is Godfrey big and strong, but he is fast, clever, knows how to box and pack a wallop that will not be denied.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mor-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 of law, shall be deemed a "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 permanently or temporarily disables the 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 not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault occurred. 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 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 or annual labor, a sum not to exceed 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 damages, thousands of damages for such a fatal killing, 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 them with the widow receiving an annuity to take, if there are no widow or minor 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 of the person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (83 v. 162 8.) 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.) 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 next succeeding tax levy 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, the guardian shall administer such fund under the direction 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 decedent resides,愈加 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: OBJS. I representative of victim of lynching ary by mob trying to lychn another. I costs in tax levy. I inst member of mob I inst another county. 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. 10. mob carries a prisoner in 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 to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 proper manager of an inn restaurant, eating house, bar-bar 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, all enjoyment of the accommodations, admission fees, 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 normal section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the 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!

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. With a real daddy and mother his teeth are in excellent condition. He has no physical defects and he is 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 very intelligent and can notice things. He is very happy in his present foster home where he is 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 would be placed in a school. Persons interested are requested to call Miss Amy Thomas of the Home Finding Department, Cleveland Humane Society, 520 Federal Reserve Bank Bldg., or call her at MAIN 382, Cleveland, Ohio. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green, (Former Member Ohio State Senior.) Who's Afraid Now? Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Randolph 5870 Sundays by Appointment BELL MEN CUT DOWN MISHAPS Training Results in Million Man-Hours Without Accident One of the best records in the country for manual work without a loss-of-time accident has been attained by the plant department in the Cleveland West Division of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. With a total force of 686, the department has accomplished more than one million man-hours of work without an accident that kept the victim off the job, according to R. P. Bunyan, general plant manager of the company's northeastern area. "From November 1, 1928, to May 23 of this year, there were 1,096,888 man-hours without a serious, or loss-of-time accident, in the Cleveland West Division," said Mr. Bunyan. "Much of the credit goes to the men and their superiors. More than 75 per cent of them have taken the company's first aid and safety course and they have been closely adhering to the principals which they have learned. The course started a short time before November 1, the date on which the present no-accident record began. Similar courses are being taken by the plant employees throughout our territory in Ohio." The National Safety News of the National Safety Council recently stated that 400,000 man-hours without a loss-of-time accident was an accomplishment worthy of note. The Ohio Bell men have nearly tripled that mark. The men who made this record are those telephone employees whose work consists of climbing poles, going down manholes, and similar construction and repair activities.

Organdie in a delectable pale green tone is used for the making of this captivating model. The triple-tier skirt features an undulating bowling whirl. Many of the French modes carry the idea to an extreme—but with fascinating results. The long-back mode shown at the top to the right in this group is however, a very conservative type—just such as the woman of dis BEOLD she comes—the typical summer girl, who enters the picture by special invitation of Dame Fashion. Her array is the very embodiment of the "prettily feminine," which, as every one knows, is a pet theme with the mode this season. Her skirts are bountiful, her bodice is quaintly snug-fitting, the material from which her gowns is fashioned fascinates with its sheerness, while its coloring—even the rainbow cannot outlurit it, or sunset glow, or moonlight gleam, or flower or leaf lend more beautiful tones and tints. French couturiers are showing a fondness for organdie as a medium for the summer girl's most lovely frocks. The dress artistes over there are even gowning the midsummer bride in organdie; likewise her bridesmalds tune into the scene arrayed in colorful or gandie. The picture frock illustrated here COLORFUL STRAW IN THE CHAIN IN THE current millinery program a flattering type of hat has entered in—the sort which is making a definite style appeal to the better dressed class of women. We refer to the exotic straws which are so exquisitely fine, so handsomely colorful, so eminently genteel. These straw hats, usually of choice bakon, or ballibuntl, sisol or bangkok, are always selected with the costume in mind. The fact that they are dye in such marvelous matching colors adds greatly to their prestige. Then, too, the ensemble idea is further carried out very often by trimming the hat with the material of which the dress is made, or perhaps that of which the accompanying handbag, scarf or even the shoes are fashioned. Thus the colorful straw hat this season forms a link in the chain of chic as expressed in the unified costume. The medium-sized straw shape is favorite—but how versatile its contour! Particularly flattering and "the latest" is the longer back brim. It is really quite remarkable how truly becoming this type of hat is proving. The abbreviated-at-the-front and elongated-at-the-back brim has face-framing qualities such as every woman covets and appreciates. Don't T But Give it measures many yards around. The close-fitting princess bodice is one of the chief attractions of this gown. An interesting item about brims this season is the fact of their versatile contours. This is an aptly illustrated in the instance of the charming hair hat worn with the aforesaid green organdie gown. Note the irregularity of the lines in this face-framing brim. The milliner is manipulating sheer wide-brimmed hair with concomitant art this season, with a view to making them individual. Returning to the subject of organdier for formal afternoon and evening wear, all-white organdie is a last minute style message from Paris. In midseason collections gowns of pure white organdie which emphasize the higher waistlines and lengthened-at-the-back skirts with wistely princess effects with long-pointed backs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©) 1929, Western Newspaper Union HATS FORM A LINK OF ENSEMBLE MODES Many of the French modes carry the idea to an extreme—but with fascinating results. The long-back model shown at the top to the right in this group is however, a very conservative type—just such as the woman of discriminating taste and refine- ment would choose. It is dyed a bright navy. The inset of matching felt encircling the crown emphasizes superior style and workmanship. Just below to the left is one of those charming half-in-half hats, part black satin and part natural colored ballibunti. And that reminds that the vogue for natural colored straws is widespread. Perhaps the outstanding reason for the popularity of the natural tones is because they tune in so perfectly with the suntan and sunburn shades, which are the rage for clothes as well as complexions. Centered to the right in the picture is a stunning straw headpiece dyed a most effective dark green to match the dress with which it is worn. The last hat of broadened brim is as attractive in one shade as another. The model photographed was navy, but it might just as well have been a dark tangerine, or a leafy brown, for the very smartest straws are often in brown to complement the voguish brown costumes. One of the interesting outcomes of the vogue for long-back hats is the trend to back trimmings. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union) throw Awa to a Friend THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1929. Gridiron Rules Makers Coach Dick Hanley, head of the Northwestern university football staff, says that he believed the rules committee missed its mark when it moved up the try for point from the three to the two-yard line in order to stimulate triple-threat plays there. "A power formation that can be counted upon to gain two yards readily won't yield field goals effectively." Hanley said. "There goes the triple-threat idea. Otherwise the yard difference won't materially change the try for point. It will be just as easy to make or miss a field goal from 12 or 13 yards and passing attacks will function the same there." Hanley has been opposed to the new fumble rule since it was first brought up several years ago. He believes that the human element must remain in the game to maintain the fans' interests. "I am not in favor of stereotyping the game," he continued. "Anything that removes the thrills from the game and detracts from the spectators' enjoyment is not an asset." Flivver in Minors The name of Ty Cobb alone is not enough to assure success in baseball, one South Carolina lad has learned. Seventeen-year-old Tyrus Raymond Cobb, who was named after the famous player, but who is no relation to the Georgia peach, tried out for an outfield berth with the Greenville club of the South Atlantic league. Falling to make the grade, he was released. Shortstop Joe Sewell Turning to Third Base Joe Sewell, shortstop of the Cleveland Indians for nine years, in turning to third base, is attempting to master his third position in baseball. Joey has been a shortstop so long, most followers of baseball suppose, perhaps, that he has always been a shortstop. As a matter of fact, when Sewell became a professional with New Orleans in 1920, he was tossed in at shortstop and had to learn a new position, for at the University of Alabama he was consistently a second baseman. Joe told his reactions to the changes: "Yes, I had to learn to play short when I broke into professional ball," he said, "after I had always played second base in college. I learned to play it after a fashion and I expect to have just as good luck in mastering third base play." Minor Figures in Gettysburg Fight Sixty-six years have passed since the battle of Gettsyburg, but even schoolboys have in mind the main events of that decisive struggle of the Civil war. They know of Meade, thrust into command of a great army three days before it was to be drawn into one of the outstanding battles of a century; of Lee, the beloved, cheered even by the wounded among his broken troops, despite failure and threatened disaster; Hancock, who shed his blood defending the fighting ground he had reported as "not unfavorable with good troops"; the taciturn Longstreet, and many more. But there were some who played minor parts in the pageant, without military status and with no legitimate place in the picture, and also won their bit of fame. Among these was John Burns, seventy-year-old Gettysburg constable, who shouldered a musket on the memorable first day of July, 1863, and joined the skirmishers in the open field. He received three wounds, fighting with the iron brigade, and was taken prisoner, but he survived to be embraced by Abraham Lincoln. Among the foreign visitors with the army of northern Virginia at Gettysburg was Lieutenant Colonel Fremantle of the Coldstream guards, oldest regiment in the British army. About noon on July 3, Fremantle and an Austrian visitor roff on in search of a commanding position from which to view the impending spectacle without being exposed to federal artillery fire. They headed for the cupola of a church near the town of Gettysburg. Before they reached the limits of the town the artillery duel commenced and the earth trembled under the roar. Somewhere on their way they had been joined by a twelve-year-old boy on horseback, and he was with the officers when they rode into a heavy cross-fire. "This urchin," Colonel Fremantle recorded, "took a diabolical interest in the bursting of the shells, and screamed with delight when he saw them take effect." The Confederate army had the "heroline" of Gettysburg. A single line of type in the official records of the War department is her epitaph Reporting, two days after the battle, the burial of 1629 Federal and Confederate dead at Gettysburg, Brig Gen. William Hays concluded: "Remarks: One female (private) in Confederate uniform." Who this girl or woman was, whence she came, with what command she came, or by what trick of fate she was swept into the ranks of Lee's army are unanswered questions. TELEPHONE WORKERS FOLLOW TRADITION OF SERVICE IN CLEVELAND DISASTER VILLASE PUBLIC AUDITORIUM Operator Dies Giving Warning Install Special Telephones Twenty Minutes After Blast The heroic footfalls of Gladys Gibson are echoing down the mythical hall of fame. Gladys is dead. Others are alive through her efforts. One of the most horrifying yet inspiring tales of heroism emanating from the recent Cleveland Clinic disaster on May 15 is that of Miss Gibson, telephone operator at the Clinic switchboard. When the X-ray film explosion occurred, sending gaseous death floating in thick clouds through the entire building, Miss Gibson, with the building's communication system at her finger tips, sounded an alarm. She called occupants of the building, firemen, police, ambulances. All the while death was creeping about her in hideous yellow clouds. Her voice grew reaker as she fought for breath. Her fateful message came in gaps, fainter and fainter. Abruptly it ended. Reports at the Garfield exchange of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, and the condition of the switchboard when telephone men reached the scene a few minutes after the disaster, tend to verify this story. The many cords plugged into the clinic lines bore mute witness to the operator's valiant attempt to spread the warning. Emergency Calls The telephone company received word of the disaster almost immediately from three different sources. One came as an emergency telephone call from the clinic private branch exchange. The Garfield operator and supervisor who handled it are certain that it was from the Clinic operator, choking and strangling as she gasped: "There's a fire at the clinic—a terrible explosion—send the fire department—call the police—get ambulances—it's awful, and—" Here, abruptly, she ceased, overpowered by the gas. Miss Gibson, a former Ohio Bell employee, had followed the traditions of the service. At the same instant, William Kane, a telephone repair man who had just left the clinic after a job there, heard the explosion, telephoned his office, and rushed back to render assistance. A moment later, there was a call from Mrs J. F. Carroll, Jr., wife of an Ohio Bell vice president, who was near the clinic at the time. Word was flashed to G. T. Mahaffey, district traffic superintendent, and B. G. Spaeth, district plant superintendent, who were in the Garfield exchange a few blocks away. They reached the scene a few minutes after the first fireman and, with them, entered the building. All were driven back by gas and James. Then came another explosion and cried for help despite the gas. Mahaffey and Spaeth entered the building with the firemen and helped carry out victims. Operates Switchboard After the first floor was cleared of victims, Mahaffey went to the second floor and found the private branch exchange switchboard untended, with many connections up and signals from incoming calls. Finding the operator's headset on the floor, Mahaffey began to operate the board, with a handkerchief ever his nose and mouth, remaining on the job for nearly an hour. Occasionally he had to go to a window for air. The board was swamped with calls—hospitals Operators who figured prominently in emergency work B.G.Spaeth G.T.Mahaffey Testing emergency telephones 20 minutes after the first explosion and doctors calling to offer facilities and service, frantic inquiries from relatives and friends of patients at the clinic. Then Walter J. Turner, Jr., a telephone maintenance supervisor, helped answer calls. Later they were relieved at the board by Andrew H. Roth, a Western Reserve University medical student. Roth, a former Bell employee, was attending school in a nearby building when the word came of the explosion. He placed his hankercheif to his nose and ascended the stairway in the clinic to the second floor, where he stationed himself at the switchboard and answered the calls that were flooding it. Set Up Telephones A short time after the first explosion other telephone men began to arrive on the scene. In less than 20 minutes they had placed four emergency telephones on a light pole in front of the clinic and these were connected through a window to the clinic switchboard. Emergency telephones were placed in the hospital building which is near the clinic building and these were in charge of operators sent from the Garfield exchange. By 3:00 p. m. the clinic switchboard had been moved from the clinic to the hospital building and later to another clinic building in process of construction. A number of telephone men were nearby when the explosion occurred. Harry Roche, pay station collector, was across the street. He helped remove the first victim, carried two others down a ladder from an upper story, and caught one woman who had jumped from a window. Badly gassed, he was ordered to bed by a physician. Edward Kvasty, cable splicer, and Joe Kaspar, his helper, working in a Euclid avenue man-hole four blocks away, were attracted by passing of fire and police by approaching the area which was forced through the tape. phone suoway. They ran to the clinic and carried out several victims. When pulmotors and respirators arrived, Kvasty turned his efforts to artificial respiration which he had learned in the telephone company's first aid course. Both Kvasty and Kaspar suffered from the gas. Call for Volunteers Robert Stone, another telephone man, passing on a street car, jumped off and reached the scene in time to hear firemen call for volunteers. Climbing an 85-foot extension Ladder, he helped work on a number of unconscious and dying victims who had been brought up through a skylight. Later he assisted in carrying them down. Stephen F. Focht and Joseph P. Marusa, Ohio Bell building maintenance men, were nearby when they heard the explosion and saw dense smoke coming from the clinic. Seizing first aid kits, which are part of the equipment of all Bell plant automobiles, Focht went up a ladder to the roof and Marusa aided in resuscitation work. Both used ammonia inhalants from their first aid kits, Marusa shared his inhalant tubes with firemen working over victims. He then made several trips to the hospital on trucks, working on victims en route. Focht also helped take several persons trapped on the top floor to the roof. After all victims were removed, Focht and Marusa strung emergency light circuits. James Artress, Walter J. Turner Jr., Edgar Bloom, and James Roanan were at the Garfield exchange when the first call for help came in. They rushed to the clinic and worked at artificial respiration until all victims were taken to hospitals. Calls Pour In As news of the disaster was flashed across the country, an ever growing flood of long distance calls came pouring into Cleveland—some from relatives or friends of patients, others from authorities and physicians in other cities offering aid. There were even some trans-Atlantic calls from London newspapers seeking information. The Lora Mayor of London telephoned his sympathy to Mayor John Marshall at Cleveland. Emergency telephones were placed in Mt. Sinai Hospital to care for outgoing calls. Many who came to the hospital were too grief-stricken and confuse to place calls and telephone girls assisted by making the calls and in some cases giving the messages which were otherwise impossible because of the sobs of the calling parties. Full operating forces were kept on duty in the Garfield exchange and the Ohio Bell and A. T. & T. long distance offices to handle the deluge of telephone traffic. Many operators on vacation or with the day off reported back to work as soon as news of the disaste spread. Some went on duty in the Garfield exchange, some took over the switchboard on the clinic hospital, and others went to the other hospitals to give any aid in their power. Telephone Company Suffers The disaster struck closely at the telephone company. One employee, Virgil M. Fleming, an electrician, was in the clinic for examination and died in the seething, swirling cloud of gas. Edward W. Stage, assistant traffic superintendent in the Randolph exchange and son of Charles W. Stage, general counsel for the Van Sweringens, was among those sent to the scene to restore telephone service. He saw his mother's automobile in the clinic parking space. Alarmed, Stage made inquiries and learned that his mother had died in the inferno of poison gas. She had accompanied a friend to the clinic. Special Telephone Network Aids Army Aircraft Maneuvers A special network of telephone circuits was established by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company throughout the area covered by the U. S. Army maneuvers in southern Ohio. "G. H. Q." and the corps and division centers were all connected by an extensive arrangement of communication facilities providing contact between all points. Telephone engineers worked on the plans for months, having started when they were notified what the army's needs would be during maneuvers. In many instances, no circuits were available between certain specified points. But on the day preceding the start of maneuvers the circuits were there, with soldiers operating them and with Ohio Bell en at strategic points, so that they would be on hand in case of emergencies.
