Hopkins, City Manager, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir—Permit me to call attention to an article, which appeared on Pages ten of The Cleveland Plain Dealer's issue of Saturday, January tenth, under the cap "Phillis Wheatley Called a Defense", containing the following in part, and accredited to you: "I don't know of any problem confronting the city, that contains more potential menace than the fact that 40,000 southern Negroes have been dumped into Cleveland within the last few years. We were fortunate in our Colored population, here, before the war. It had a real aristocracy, and no question about it, nationally prominent as Charles Chesnut, many others, who were distinguished in scholarship and leadership. This aristocracy constitutes today what I might call our first defense." After careful analysis of these statements, I am sure you will easily understand that these 40,000 persons, many of whom are loyal citizens of Cleveland, are anxious to understand in our various bands by these new citizens, the tax valuation of property, purchased by them, and the many new business developments, started by them are considered by such new progressive citizenship do not come from people who can be classed as "potential menaces". Unfortunately for both of us, you may have become prejudiced thru daily contact with that menacecreating type of Negro—all of whom are not recently from the South. But, I invite you, however, to seek occasional contact with those of us who have a full sense of our civicity, and permit yourself to learn some of the life. I feel sure that after such contact you would readily change your opinion of us. Personally, I am a supporter of the Phillis Wheatley Association, and am thoroughly in accord with its ultimate aim. I also believe firmly that the support of the white people of Cleveland should be freely sought in this kind of endeavor. But in seeking such support from white citizens it hardly seems fair to brazen it, or to put potential menace", in order to create settlement for crimes. But I think that a high public official, even in this should be tolerant and patient to some extent; for this ignorance is and Miss Mary Thomas are quite ill.—Mr. and Mrs. Gay Alsop and Ray Coilter of Loveland were here, Sunday.—Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Ames entertained Mr. and Mrs. Jas. C. West and son, and Mr. and Mrs. D. Highwarden at dinner, Sunday.—Mrs. Mary Holland entertained the Get-Together club, Wednesday.

Institute.—Mrs. Mildred Waters spent the weekend with her daughter, Mrs. Walter Lamon in Dayton.—Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lamon and sons, and Mrs. Andrew Jackson of Harveyburg were dinner-guests. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Hurd, Sunday.—Mr. and Mrs. D. Highwarden attended the moonlight picnic at Jeffersonville, Saturday night. ALLIANCE. — The 19th annual session of the E. O. B.

We worked patiently for nearly three hundred years—the entire earnings going to your people, that they might become cultured, and be born rich; and still is equal need among your people is equal need among your people to help adjust your criminal and social problems. If the reverse had been true, if your people had been enslaved—we should be kindly disposed, and in this present generation, be willing to give you a chance. In conclusion, I am sure that you will agree with me that moral and civil law demand, that every normal individual be considered innovatively, that you must guilty, and surely you cannot, as Clinton nationally wish to impress upon the rest of Cleveland that you would condemn, in the blanket way your statement avers, the 40,000 newcomers to Cleveland. How could you be dumped into Cleveland, claim have been dumped into Cleveland, in face of such statements feel safe in seeking justice at the hands of a public official who considers us to be potential menaces? * * * * * Very truly yours for a more def- Very truly yours for a more definite racial knowledge. O. K.'s DAUGHTER'S MARRIAGE To a Member of the Race—Newly- weds, Medical Students at Columbia U. New York City.—Jerome S. Peterson, age 22, and Edith E. Sproul, (white), age 21, both medical students at Columbia University, last week Wednesday, were married at City Chapel. The bride's father, Albert E. Sproul, who has a photographic studio, and said he is of French descent, gave the couple his parenthood at Columbia University, and children. The two sons are married. "I don't know Peterson, in fact have never heard of him before", Mr. Sproul said. "But he will be well educated in my home. Edith loved him enough to marry him. She is well educated and has good judgment. She must have given this serious consideration and is well aware of what she is doing. She has her own life to live and must live it as she chooses. I never in my way have made selection in marriage for my children, for it is wrong to hinder a man's progress because of heredity and environment. The younger generation is far ahead of us old folk. My daughter is the master of her own soul. I'll help my son-in-law in any way I can. I shall show him the same affection I would a white boy". **Page** "Senators Cole Blease of S. O.

Kansas City, Kans.—One of "Ulean Sam's" biggest checks, for $121, $20, a refund from the U. S. Treasury Department, on her income tax account, was received here, week before last, by Mrs. Sarah Bector before her appointment of a protested assessment. Mrs. Campbell, who several years ago inherited a rich tract of Oklahoma oil land and who was known in her younger days as the richest colored girl in America, had protested an assessment on a $300,000 bonus paid her by the Prairie Gas and Oil Co. for renewal of a five-year lease on her property. She was on the ground that no account of the natural depletion of the wells on the property had been taken by the government. The amount returned represents a refund on tax collected since 1918. Mrs. Campbell lives at 2440 Brooklyn Ave. While quite young, she married a Kansas City man, a student, Lincoln Pa. University, and bribed him before he had completed his freshman year. GILLESPIE WRONG! Cleveland, O., July 22, '29. Mr. Lee Fiske, Editor Downtown Office News, City. Dear Sir:—In your issue of July 22, '29, you quote the statement of Atty. Chester K. Gillespie, who is alleged to have said "Colored voters of Cleveland would be 'political integrates, cowards and slaves" to support the 3D charter amendment". Mr. Gillespie erred and evidently intended to say just the opposite for they would be those three things if they failed to support the charter amendment and were familiar with their relation to the manager plan and City Manager Hopkins. Two years ago and last year at both charter elections, the Colored people of this city unitedly supported the amendment and they are going to do the same thing, this time, for reasons of racial interest, particularly. So Atty. Gillespie, or anyone else who makes a statement to the contrary, at best only represents himself and an insignificant minority of the Colored people of this community. Please publish this, since you have published the Gillespie misstatement. (Signed) Harry C. Smith, Editor. The Gazette. "Jim-Crow" Bed-Room Laws. Chicago, Ill.—"With reference to the Hoover-DePriest tea party, I spoke in Nashville, recently," said Congressman Oscar DePriest in a speech here, last week, "and someone said I should continue the talk on the social equality of the races. But the whites of the South are not an appropriate audience for that. The federal census shows an increase by thousands of mulattoes, mostly in the South. They have 'jim-crow' theater laws, and 'jim-crow' street and railroad car laws, down there, but what they need most are 'jim-crow' bedroom laws." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ALL REAL AMERICANS DEMAND AND WILL HAVE CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL THINGS, SAYS DR, BYRD. Our Duty as Citizens-Must "Measure Arms" With All Others, "Pay the Price" and Rely Upon Ourselves-Self and Race Respect and Independence. (Special to The Gazette) The place of the Negro in American life and government is a much discussed subject. There should be a thoro understanding as to the place others assign the Negro and the place he assigns himself. The assigning of any group of Americans a particular place is contrary to the spirit which founded this country. It is a fact nevertheless that, because the Negro was brot to this country a slave and remained so, the Negro has many American people continue to try to keep him, if not a physical slave, a social and political slave, Strange indeed is the psychology of certain Americans who demand absolute freedom for themselves and theirs, and yet strenuously deny to the Negro that same privilege and right. Certain states of the union have legalized the withdrawal from the Negro the American rights which all other races enjoy. In doing this, these people have assigned the Negro in their midst a place which is not theirs. There are certain themselves. There are certain fundamental things every real American demands and will have: First, Untrammeled freedom, with civil, political, and social liberty. Second. The right to say who shall be and to participate in the election of his rulers. Third. To expect and demand the protection of his flag at home and abroad, in the enjoyment of his life, property and rights. He also accepts the duty to protect his flag and the honor of his country with his life's blood. Since all Americans demand the things I have named, the Negro is unworthy and unprepared to be an American citizen, if he willingly accepts less. So, despite the forces arrayed against him, the Negro must never acquiesce in this infringement upon his citizenship. His place then is not what others fix, but that he fixes for himself. To obtain it, he must not tolerate in himself any species of a racial inferiority compel. First. He and his children must believe in themselves, in their capabilities and ability to measure arms with all Americans, if given equal opportunity and a square deal. Second. He must be as willing as the other races to pay the price, however high. Third. His chief reliance must be upon himself. In his effort to rise he must know that self-respect and independence are the main factors. In seeking the things of life he must seek the best. Fourth. Industrially, he must be a capable and trustworthy employee. In his search for employment, let him know about the places he must let him out for the preferred places. Our men are capable of filling more than porter's jobs. And when he gets employment, let him make himself indispenable. Fifth. The place of the Negro in this country is the same as that of any other American citizen. He must not cry and whine for others to give it to him, but he must fight for it. Never stop until he gets it. Americans have always fought for what they wanted. Americans have always wanted the world. Afro-Americans must do likewise, if they would have the respect of the world. Sixth. To maintain this place of equality with the best Americans, the Negro must equip himself educationally and economically. No ignorant people can maintain a position of equality with an educated people. Let him strive to possess that which the world wants and must have, and the world will be his purpose. Aesthetically, the Negro must seek beauty in personal form, eradicate the effects of the ravages of slavery upon his ancestors, and keep his surroundings beautiful. His home should be on a par with that of his best neighbor. He must observe the laws of health, keep his body sweet and clean. Put much water inside of him as well as be a frequenter of the baths and showers. Wing some of the things that entitle him to the utility of treatment in every sphere of a citizen's life, let him fight, fight, fight, until he forces the unwilling Americans to accord him what is his by right. "Social Equality". Much is being said about the social equality of Negroes and whites since the DePriest episode. If by social equality is meant the right to associate with white persons that wish to associate with them, Negroes claim that right. The denial of social equality in opportunity, 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 NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS PLACE! AMERICANS AVE CERTAIN FUNDAMEN- SAYS DR. BYRD. Hust "Measure Arms" With e Price" and Rely Upon self and Race Respect dependence. public transportation, public places of entertainment, etc., is nothing more than a southern political trick to deprive our people of their civil and political rights. The policy of separating Negroes from other races is a brazen attempt to force them to acknowledge inferiority to every red- Rev. William A. Byrd. neck, hill-bill and ignorant nondescript of other races. This no self-respecting Negro will concede. Marriage is a contract made between two people, a man and a woman. Free Americans have the right to marry any one that desires to be married to them, races notwithstanding. Many white and Negro peoples are married and live together. That is their business! No section of the country has the right to deny them this right. The attempt of certain sections of this country only to capitalize and laud every thing white and at the same time deprecate everything black is foolish and reprehensible. As a rule peoples of the same race prefer to marry within their race but to say they are merely of marrying into any other race. Marrying black is skinned, is sheer folly. The southern states should forever keep silent on this marrying of white and black peoples, for it is evidently more respectable and to be desired to marry than to illicitly adulterate the two races as has been done primarily by southern white men. All of the legislation of the South passed, to separate the black and white races, has failed and rightly so. When the two races will be less friction, consorting and other illegal practices now rampant. Rey, Wm. A. Byrd. OUR ARMY OFFICERS Cleveland, O. July 18. '29. Editor, N. Y. Evening Post:—There are four Afro-American regiments in the U. S. Army. Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, Lieut. John Alexander and Col. Charles Young, Afro-Americans, were officers in those regiments, two of which are Infantry and Alexander and Young were Ohlans, and all three were graduates of West Point U. S. Military Academy, Alexander and Young are dead and Flipper, a fine civil engineer, is in South America. Col. Davis and Col. Greene, the two Afro-American officers in the U. S. Army, rose from the ranks and he commands in these four regiments — 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Intl. U. S. Army. Col. Greene is retiring and Col. B. O. Davis (a resident of this city) is on furlough en route to Europe with his family. I that possibly the foregoing might interest you. Afro-American officers can and will eventually command white troops of the U. S. Army. I have commanded Afro-Frenchman, and other so-called "Negroes" commanded French (white) troops. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette Cincinnati, O. — For the second time, Co. G. 372nd Inf., won the grand Gilbert trophy for marksman- ship at Camp Perry, recently. The company is under the command of Capt.

SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1929. Albert E. Sproul is sure a credit to the country of his birth and more than a credit to that of his adoption. In this country, he is one man out of one hundred thousand or more. See New York City letter, elsewhere in this paper. --- Are Rev. D. O. Walker and Rev Stanley Grannum of this city, West Indians, two signers of that notorious "round robin", American citizens and have they ever voted in Cleveland? These questions are being asked frequently by persons interested in the charter amendment fight. Who can answer them? --- When the City Council approved bond ordinances totaling $2,039,000, last week, Councilman Herman H. Finkle's $350,000 bond issue for a playground in the "Roaring Third" was left out. Finkle inquired about his ordinance on the floor of the Council, saying "For some reason it was not even submitted. I'd like to know why not". City Manager Hopkins replied that since no steps had been taken to select a site for the playground the matter did not appear to be urgent and that the bonds could be issued later if the Council selected a site which should be near the center of the district. Originally Finkle's playground was to be on the site of the Jewish Orphanage. To meet operating expenses the city sold this to the Nickel Plate Development Co. for $350,000 and promised to replace that amount. The orphanage property was too far south in the district anyhow. LABOR AND THE COLOR-LINE. President Green's emphatic repudiation of the color-line in labor affairs which he made in vigorous fashion before the Pullman porters in New York City, some weeks ago, is to his credit and to the good of the labor movement. Every time a prominent labor-leader says that there is no color-line in the labor movement he helps to make it more nearly true. However, we wish that President Green's speech to the porters had been made at an earlier period when the affairs of their organization were in a more promising state. We wish that he had adopted a much more consistent attitude and course when appealed to by the officials of the porters' union, last year, when they were threatening to strike for the increase in pay they are so clearly entitled to and which has been withheld by the Pullman Co. entirely too long. We also wish that in the introduction given President Green there had been a little less of the note of obsequious flattery, "Uncle Tomism". Still for every step in attaining a solidarity of labor which crosses racial lines we are duly grateful. SUPPORT CHARTER AMENDMENT The charter amendment committee which will function in the 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th and 19th wards of this city particularly, where our people are most thickly populated, met Sunday afternoon, in Dr. L. N. Bundy's apartments in Hotel Majestic and effected a permanent organization with him as chairman, Rev. Wm. M. Todd, sec., and Mrs. Louise J. Pridgeon, treas. Several important committees were appointed by the chairman, on the authorization of the committee, and active work started, the first of the week. The first large meeting will be held, this week Friday evening, in St. Paul Zion A. M. E. church, cor. Quincy Ave. and E. 55th St., with the editor of The Gazette as the principal speaker. Dr. Bundy will preside. The Gazette wishes to urge all of our men and women voters through the city to attend the charter amendment meetings so as to thorouly understand their relation to the manager plan and Color-Line City Manager (Hopkins), and also the many excellent reasons why they should vote for the charter amendment. The battle now on is primarily a fight between the rich and the poor people of this city and its suburbs. Many of the leading wealthy supporters of the manager plan do not live in the city and, therefore, from a financial viewpoint, are not materially concerned as to the baneful effects of the very expensive city manager plan Cleveland's great mass of poor people are staggering under because of the increasingly heavy taxation. Indeed, the charter amendment—manager plan contest which will end on Aug. 20, '29, has developed into a fight between the rich and the poor which makes it absolutely necessary that our people, of all the residents of Cleveland, do as they have done each time, in the past, last year and the year preceding. SUPPORT THE CHARTER AMENDMENT: --- THE PRESS AND DR. BUNDY. Editor, Cleveland Press: One of the most amusing events of the past week was the Cleveland Daily Press' attack upon Dr. L. N. Bundy because in a speech at Moose Hall, last week Friday night, he said in reference to the twelve Negro minister-signers of what is called a "Round Robin" that "more than half of them" had told him "that they didn't know what it was all about when they signed it", and calling upon him for an explanation. We fail to see why Dr. Bundy should explain, because the thing explains itself. That twelve, or any other number of Negro ministers in this community, could possibly sign anything in the interest of the manager plan and City Manager Hopkins in the face of the fact that both plan and man are responsible for barring Negro internes and girls from training in the City Hospital, a local public institution under their direction, is positive proof that "more than half of them didn't know what it was all about when they signed" the so-called "Round Robin", or are disloyal to their people. Negro ministers, or individuals, who will so "kiss the hand that so unfairly slaps them and their people squarely in the mouth" by denying them citizen-rights so freely accorded all other residents of the community, ought to be labeled and banned from the community. The Cleveland Daily Press should help to do this rather than "pat them on the back" for assuming a traitorous attitude toward their own people. One of the results of the campaign now on, that is going to be most encouraging, will be the exposition of the fact that the twelve Negro minister "Round Robin" signers are not leaders of their own churches, to say nothing of being leaders of our people in this community.

Boston, Mass. — More than 400 white Dorchester high school graduates refused to hold their prom at the Statler hotel, week before last, when they were told that they would have to bar Miss Isabel Taylor, our lone girl member of the class. Putting their feet down squarely against jim-crowing, a member of their class they helped stand by Miss Taylor and secured the ball-room of another hotel where they had one of the most successful proms in the history of the school. **Given An Ovation.** At the graduation exercises held at Codman's Square theatre, the entire class again expressed their dislike of the prom, by wildly cheering Miss Taylor when she stepped forth to receive her diploma. Eddie Was "Framed". Windsor, Ont. Ca.—Eddie Tolan of the University of Michigan, 100 and 200-yard sprint champion of the U. S., last week Thursday charged that he was the victim of a "home-town decision" when he was adjudged beaten by Percy Williams in Vancouver, week before last. Tolan made the statement while passing thru here en route to Europe with other athletes who are to tour the United States and pictures which show him leading Williams by close to a foot at the finish. At the conclusion of the race, he said, the judges went into a lengthy conference, from which they emerged to announce that Williams had "won" by a close margin. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1929. Additional Local The first annual services of the United Brothers & Sisters of Love, Sunday, at Providence Baptist church, E. 30th St., was preceded by a parade. Rev. J. W. Ribbins, pastor, preached a very interesting sermon and several interesting papers were read and musical numbers rendered. Among the speakers were: W. M. Johnson, imperial grand massorah; J. H. Harris, imperial grand medical advisor, and Perry B. Jackson, imperial grand legal advisor. The membership is now in excess of one thousand and the order has over $4,000 in the endowment department. Louis J. Dean, who left Cleveland several years ago for the East, is located on a 70 acre farm in a very prosperous farming section four miles from Woodbury, twelve miles from Waterbury and thirty miles from New Haven, Conn. Mr. Dean's neighbor on one side has an $18,000 place while the one on the other side has a place valued at $25,000. They are country homes in what is the foot-hills of the Berkshire mountains. Mr. Dean writes that his neighbors are very friendly and make him and his family feel welcome and requests us to remember him kindly to all inquiring friends. He and his family are in the best of health. Cleveland's, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., alumni committee are in an effort to raise their quota of the $600,000 endowment fund for the institution. It met, Monday noon, at the P. W. A. The friends of the college are to raise $300,000 to meet the gift of a like amount by the University of New York City. The Rosenwald fund of Chicago has promised the institution $100,000 of its amount to be raised, provided our people of the country give $100,000. A. W. Dent of Houston, Tex., alumni secretary, is in the city helping to direct the local campaign.

In renewing his subscription, for the year, Mr. Louis J. Dean, R. F. D. 1, Woodbury, Conn., for many years a resident of Cleveland before going East, several years ago, wrote The Gazette, recently, as follows: "1929 I believe, makes the forty-first consecutive year that you have mailed me The Gazette. Since coming out here, three months ago, I am feeling so fine that I expect to be reading The Gazette another forty-one years, if there is anyone left to publish it". For our friend's edification, if not for his information, we desire to say that judging from present conditions, situations and health we expect to be on the job as usual: "forty-one years" hence, serving him and thousands of others throut this great country of ours with "The Old Reliable". PLAIN DEALER'S "SKYLIGHT"! Cleveland, Ohio, July 23, '29. Editor, The News: — Since the Cleveland Plain Dealer is so generous in the publication of pictures of things done in the city under the manager plan perhaps it could be induced to give its many readers a picture of the beautiful plot of ground owned by the city and located between the Plain Dealer building and the public library, fronting on Superior Ave. Many citizens, like the writer, have that all along that that beautiful piece of land was owned by the Plain Dealer publishing company. Our information is that it is likely property and cannot be used for anything because of the advantage of that open space to the Plain Dealer building. It may be that the writer is misinformed. If so, he would like to know it. Harry C. Smith, Editor. The Gazette Chocolate Beats Cohen.

Section 628.7 "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 628.8 "Serious injury" defined. 628.9 Damages in case of assault. 628.1 Damages in case of lynching. 628.2 Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching 628.3 Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 628.4 Limitations of action. 628.5 Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 628.6 Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 628.7 County's right of action against member of mob 628.8 County's right of action against another county. 628.9 Non-relief from prosecution. Our mor-violence or anti-lyning 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 injury to any one, shall be deemed "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, such a person should permanently or temporarily disable 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 be convicted of a crime not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault 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 exceeding five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12. 5.) Section 6228. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor surviving, the widow receiving such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recovery 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, or the guardian shall administer such funds, such as 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 remains, 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. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. MOBS. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner or a person of some kind, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1294. Whereby he bodes the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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 access to the barbershop facilities or privileges thereof, shall not defined 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 less than fifty dollars nor more than hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved, he be recovered in any court of compensiation 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!
