A POLICY KING PAID
A COP $6,000 YEARLY
Detroit Expose Follows Police Raid In Absence of the "King"—A —$750 a Week!
Michigan —Bible Because the Happy Hour Social club of which he was president was raided during his absence in Chicago, Frank Lofts told Judge Bartlett, in criminal court, that he had been paying the trusted lieutenant. "Blondy" Hays (white), $6,000 annually for "protection" during the past four years. Lofts owns a barber-shop and a smokeshop at 2905 St. Antoine St, and an express business at 585 Brewster St. To save his pals whom Hays had arrested, the policy king told how he had paid in sums of money ranging from $50 to $250, every week. In 1928, he said Hays locked up 36 of his men but he got them out for $375. The same year during Christmas holidays, all the policy houses were closed except his. Since the expose, the policy king has been arrested by Hays and locked up over night and afterward set free. In a public address, the policy king will not be intimidated or beaten up as if he were a dog.
"If I am attacked by any of these officers, I will sacrifice my wealth and even my life to prove that what ever else I may be, I am a man"
Nearly a thousand pupils were in attendance upon St. John's A. M. E. S. S., Sunday noon. Last week Tuesday evening, the officers and teachers held their annual banquet and election.

Livingstone Given $30,000.
Salisbury, N. C.—President W. J. Trent of Livingstone college has just received official notice that the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago has appropriated $30,000 toward the $250,000 Price campaign fund that the college launched, several years ago, for buildings and general improvements. The campaign is to raise $1,190. There has been raised $205,050.74 to $68,505.74 has been collected in cash from our people. A final campaign throughout the A. M. E. Zion Church is on.
Shot and Killed His Pastor
Memphis, Tenn. — George White-age 35, 525 S. Front St. shot and killed the "Rev." Jenkins S. Madison, pastor of Union Baptist church, whom he discovered in his home with his wife, and then called police headquarters to tell them where they could find the pastor's body. White gave himself up. Beside the murdered pastor lay a loaded pistol and a brief-case containing his bible, insurance papers and official communications. White did not harm his wife.
Marcus Garvey Jailed'
Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I.—Marcus Garvey, head of the U. N. I. A. was sentenced, Sept. 26, to three months' imprisonment without hard labor and fined $500 for contempt of court. In a political speech Garvey had attacked the Jamaica courts. An even stiffer sentence was avoided when Mr. Garvey tendered an apology to the full court. This was Mr. Garvey's second appearance before the court in contempt proceedings in thirty days.
Atty. Chester K. Gillespie brought suit, Tuesday, against the Euclid Fairmount Co., which own the Fenway Hall Hotel, E. 107th St. Euclid Ave. for violation of his civil rights. Gillespie on Oct. 6 was invited to the hotel by one of its patrons who occupied a room on the third floor. Both elevator operators, members of the race, said that they could not take him up to the third floor because they had been instructed by the management not to do so and suggested he use the freight elevator. This, of course, he refused to do and has filed suit in municipal court for $500 damages under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law.
THE REAL AMERICAN THE AFRO-AMERICAN!
New York City. — "The Afro-American is a purely American type and much more convincing as such than any living white type", says the celebrated philosopher-traveler-teacher, Count Herman Keyserling, in the October Atlantic Monthly on "What the Negro means to America". In his article the Count declares there "has never been anything like the Afro-American in Africa" and the Afro-American is "as opposed to his forbears, as much as any middle Westerner of old pioneer stock can imagine in the expressions of American emotional expressions he of Negro origin and the white man must express himself in the way of the Negro. There is nothing improbable in the expectation, considering the emotional and artistic under-endowment of the white American race, that the first original geniuses of the New World will belong to the black". White America's "lack of original vitality", Count Keyserling traces to the city civilization of the country and the country of the danger being that "the United States may really some day become one single town". Eventually, "if the white American continues on his present line of development America may end by becoming the black continent of modern days".

Gorilla Jones to Battle Horner.
Akron, O.—"Gorilla" Jones, who is to meet Weiterweight Champion Jackie Fields at San Francisco, Oct. 22, is back for a brief visit and, just to make expenses, fought Little Jack Horner, tough Buffalo weiterweight, in the local armory, Wednesday night. Jones scored two knockouts in as many appearances on the coast during the past month, stopping Dummy Mahan and Pete Myers. Horner has a pretty good record and had never been stopped, until Wednesday night. Immediately after the match, Jones and his manager, Suey Welch, left for the coast again.
Wins by Kayo.
Akron, O., Oct. 9. — Little Jack Horner came out of his corner—and five minutes later they carried him back. After sparring with Gorilla Jones through one round, in which Jones barely danced around to keep from getting chilled. Horner came in close in the second frame and Jones' hand smeat him one on the left ear. That was good enough for nine Jackie turners his white)came back Jackie turned his black)l came back l siemed up that one and Horner went down for keeps. That was all there was to the fight that a crowded Armory hoped to sit on the edge of the seats to see.
Warn Chocolate to Retire
Warn Chocolate to Retire.
Word reaches this department that physicians (white, of course) have warned Kid Chocolate, the little Afro-Cuban, to retire from the heart of the city, heart of the featherweight sensation is suffering from "leakage of the heart" and further pugilistic activity may cost his life. Chocolate, however, has chosen to disregard their advice — for the present, at least—and is to fight Leo "Kid" Roy, the Canadian, in Havana, this Friday. The "Keed" returned to his home immediately after his contest with Al Singer, which he won, and has been lionized by his neighbors (and countrymen). His scramble with Roy will be a cap to a national celebration in his honor. Unknown when he came to this country, a little more than a year ago, Chocolate became a riot in New York and then was swarmed by Madison Square Garden. One of the best drawing cards in the country, he earned a wad of dough this year, topping it with a $41,000 purse for boxing Singer. The money he has made ought to be sufficient to keep him for the rest of his days and if he really has a leaking heart he ought to quit. The chances are he won't retire, though. — Ray Campbell in The Cleveland (O.) Dally News.

NORTH CAROLINA SHOWING THE WORLD SOUTHERN "CIVILIZATION"
In Its True Light, Says Dr. Byrd—White Targets Now for the Southern "Crackers, Rednecks and Hillbillies".
Jersey City, N. J. — The civilization of the South as represented in the enlightened state of North Carolina has shown to the world its true state. The wholesale murder and brutalizing of white working people is but the aftermath of years of killing, robbing and forcing our people to work on starvation wages. The North Carolina law has been used by Negroes have been made the target for the guns of the rednecks and hillbillies in the South in all of the states. The number of Negroes shot down and murdered, as well as burned, cannot be told. Mrs. Wiggins (white) was shot down as an animal because she sought better working conditions. From the evidence given, those who should be the upholders of the law were the Negroes. The South have no more care for white working people than they have black ones. The lives, rights, and privileges of the poor whites are in the same category of the blacks. When there is a clash between the poor whites and blacks, southern "law" takes the side of the poor whites. It is now time for all fact-finding bodies, to concern the law enforcement of law, to enforce the law to protect our people has created a legal state of mind that now believes in enforcing only the laws that suit a community or state. The fallacy of this position is evident because it has resulted in the breaking down of law enforcement everywhere. The Anglo-Saxon race is now on its last legs, so far as orderly government is concerned. The inherent bias of the Anglo-Saxon law has all and other races should accede to it without a question, has resulted in giving to the world a one-sided law-enforcement idea. Enforce the law when it is to the advantage of whites, but break it or refuse to enforce it when enforcement means making whites respect the law because it is the law. The enforcement of Constitutional Amendments, state laws, county laws, city ordinances and even the state laws has now because America has established this one-sided law-enforcement conduct. The southern states that boasted of their refusal to enforce the Amendments that made

An "Americanized" Swede in His Home Land — "Little Esther" and her Experiences Abroad — $750 a Week!
Paris, France.-Little Esther, the ten-year-old dancing wonder, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Jones of Chicago, and her manager, Sidney Garner, a member of the race, passed through this city, last week, on her way to Nice and Monte Carlo to fill engagements there. She is said to be the highest paid child artist in the world. She has just left Berlin where she played at the Winter Garden at a salary of $750 a week, for six weeks. Four years ago, she was playing in the streets of Chicago, the city where she was the fun, Appearing at the Casino de Paris, the Moulin Rouge, the Empire, and other local theaters, her audiences went wild over her, while the Parisian press gave her much space. Vu, leading illustrated weekly, devoted its entire front page to her picture and carried a two page story about her. Since then she has danced and sang in many private homes all over Europe as well as for the King and Queen of Spain, and the King and Queen of Sweden. Of all the countries she has visited Littleton, she has success in Sweden, not because of her talent alone, but also because the owner of a restaurant, one Branda Tomton, who had lived in America, refused to serve her a glass of milk because she is colored. The Swedish papers made it hot for Tomton, while Little Esther, her mother, and her manager, received invitations from some of the highest persons, socially, to visit them in their homes, just to show how strongly they disapproved of Tomton's conduct. Such a shower of ridicule was poured in on him that he was forced to close the door of business. He was captured in several of the leading papers, while Little Esther's popularity rose higher than ever. When she left, a crowd of school-children came to see her off, presenting her flowers and inviting her to return to Stockholm.

black people citizens, have not been rebuked and the men "elected" to Congress, being primarily of the Nordic type, have refused to carry out the mandates of the Constitution because if they are to be returned to Congress they must depend upon the law-defying constitution at home. Hence nothing has been done. The nullified 'Negro' Amendments, the brazen-faced repudiation of the liquor Amendment by both the North and the South, law-breaking and violation are "a white man's trait"? The white South

has had in its midst the most peaceable and inoffensive race the world has. Negroes have learned to overlook the brutalities of their white law-makers and enforcers. They have suffered, been cheated, robbed and forced to work on "starvation for their own benefit." Of having labor demolition or a pituitous has become the second nature of white employers in the South. For political reasons the whites of the North have permitted this "southern lawless mind" to go unchallenged. We are at the place where law must be enforced or anarchy will step in. We must use that interest of any race group but for the protection of all! White men, the failure is yours!
New York City. — Phil Edwards, age 22, half-mile star of the N. Y. University track team, said, Sunday, he would be married, some time this week, to Miss Edith Margaret Bedelschoff, age 19, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Bedelschoff (white) of Weehawken, N. J. Edwards, who is the college basketball champion, said Mrs. Bedelschoff's parents at first objected to the marriage because they did not believe she was old enough, but that they had since given their consent. Miss Bedelschoff, whose mother is French and her father German, met Edwards in Berlin, last summer, when she played games. Later the Bedelschoff family came to this country on the same boat with Edwards. He is captain of the N. Y. U. track team.
OPENS COMPENSATION BUREAU
Chicago, Ill. — Mr. John French who for many years has been an active and valuable member of the Illinois industrial board, recently resigned and opened French's Compensation bureau, an adjustment office at 300 W. Adams St., where working men and women who have sustained injuries while on duty may secure the proper advice and help in their recovery. The element legally prescribed for such accident. Mrs. French was former Miss Carrie Dennie, soprano soloist, of Cleveland, O., many years ago.

In the front row in the audience sat no lesser personages than the former Crown Prince of Germany and Countess. After their numbers, which were marvellously received, a note went back stage from the royal guests inviting Miss Hunter and Mr. Payne to tea the following afternoon. When the dancing started at the afternoon party, Miss Hunter had the first dance with the Prince and Mr. Payne, with the Countess. So, this is Vienna.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1929.
Be sure to read about Tomton
the "Americanized" Swede in his
home country. It is interesting, illuminating!
While we do not endorse some of the business the Detroit Afro-American "policy king", Frank Loftis, was engaged in we most certainly do admire his courage and exhibition of manhood. It is a pity that he could not have been doing an alllegitimate business.
Miss Hunter and Mr. Payne should cable U. S. Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina and Tom Heflin of Alabama a brief account of their recent participation in the former Crown Prince and Princess' afternoon tea party in Vienna, Austria, and give them heart-failure. See Vienna letter elsewhere in this paper.
Phil Edwards has a right to marry whom he pleases so long as the other party to the transaction is satisfied. And it is nobody else's "business", either. There should be no invidious comment by black or white persons. They should "mind their own business and keep their mouths out of the Edwards' affair" is the sound advice of the bride's parents. See letter elsewhere in this paper.
Last week, Atty. Gillespie settled the cases of Frank McRae and Robert Carter against the Greyhound Bus Co. for $200, each of the latter receiving $100. It is a great mistake as a rule to settle civil rights cases under our Ohio law because it robs our people generally of almost all of the benefit of such victories. We shall have more to say anent this later on.

Councilman Gregg said, Tuesday evening, at his meeting that "he favors establishing a hospital for colored residents, on the East Side—a place for training colored girls as nurses, but not a 'Jim-Crow' hospital". What would such a "hospital" be but "a Jim-Crow hospital", a "honky-tonk"? Gregg is sure an amusing as well as peculiar individual, to say the least. That kind of talk would kill his candidacy, if it was not already dead.

As we went to press, Thursday, former Councilman Tom Fleming's plea to the Ohio Supreme court for a new trial was being made at Columbus by Attys. Geo. W. Spooner (white), Selmo C. Glenn and Alex. H. Martin. Fleming was convicted in common pleas court here and an Ohio appellate court upheld its decision, saying the trial was regular and the verdict in accordance with the law and the evidence. The State Supreme court will hardly overturn the decision of the two lower courts. Tom's sentence is two years and nine months as hard labor, to ten years.

Candidates Gregg, Bundy and Payne all spoke at meetings, Tuesday evening, in the third district. Payne and Bundy at the Western Reserve Republican club and Gregg at Zion Hill Baptist church. The Plain Dealer, Wednesday morning, did not seem to like Bundy's praise of Candidate Herman Finkle who, with Atty. Alex. Bernstein, is very kindly remembered by hundreds of our people of the 12th ward, and the third district, for the help given them in several ways, last winter, when they needed it most. Mrs. Lethia Fleming presided at the Western Reserve club meeting which the "P. D." termed "the Payne meeting" because, we presume, it was in the 11th ward where he lives.
Editor Ben Davis of the Atlanta Independent says:
"Robert Vann, editor of the Pittsburg Courier, is swallowing the 'illy-white' program of the Hoover ad-
ministration in the hope that he will be named an assistant U. S. Attorney-general".
This may and may not be true. One thing sure, however, and that is, Ben Davis swallowed, hook, line and sinker, the "illy-white" program of the Coolidge administration and was willing to add that of the Hoover administration to remain the member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia. If ever there were "time-serving Negro members of that committee" they were Ben Davis of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi, the latter still hanging on to the committee "by the skin of his teeth". Ben should "put his hand over his mouth", keep still like Perry and let some one else, in a position to consistently do so, make such a charge if it is necessary. He (Davis) is as "painful" as Prof. Kelly Miller's recent labored two-column N. Y. Times article "slobbering" all over President Hoover. Apparently, Kelly wants a job. If we needed anything, in this late day and time, to enable us to get a true line on that more or less distinguished Howard University educator and mathematician, he has certainly furnished it in the article referred to. The we never can forget how he, in order to hold his job, supinely submitted to the mistreatment the Howard University president (white), who preceded Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, visited upon him and others of our members of Howard's faculty. Ben Davis, Perry, Howard, Kelly Miller and their kidney are the banes of the race, today.

THAT CITY HOSPITAL AGAIN.
Some weeks ago, Mrs. Iola Wimbs Ellis, E. 87th St., was one of the two persons to pass a civil service examination for social service worker at the City Hospital, ordered by the superintendent. She averaged 85, while a man (white) stood 88. In order to retain several old employees, who also took the examination and failed, the list on which these two successful ones was abolished. Mrs. Ellis very properly sought the counsel of the Hon. Harry E. Davis, our member of the City Civil Service Commission, but had one harrowing time in getting to him owing to the pernicious activity of a girl-clerk (just outside of the door to Mr. Davis' office at the City Hall) who vainly tried to "sidetrack" her by attempting to send her to his personal office in the Engineers' bldg. But Mrs. Ellis wouldn't "bite". She went to an adjoining office in the City Hall and got Mr. Davis on the 'phone. He invited her to come immediately to his office which she did, of course. When he had looked over her examination papers, he found that a color-line notation had been written on them that fully explained the failure to even notify her of her success in passing the examination until she went to the City Hall and asked for that information. Mr. Davis has promised to look into the matter for Mrs. Ellis and should not fall to have a long conference with Sup't. McMillan of the City Hospital. There is entirely too much of this sort of thing being done to our people in the various branches of the city government all of which our member of the City Civil Service Commission, the Hon. Harry E. Davis, and City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins are in a position to stop.

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 can repent, 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 University)
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1929
HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!
"The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some money. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus, Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, and terms will be sent promptly. Our office is located in Ohio by sending the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state to whom we can write relative to the matter.
J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R., Silks, will make an official visit to King Tut lodge, this Saturday night, his first appearance here since his reelection in Atlantic City, some weeks ago. He will go from here to Youssouf, where he will meet the past exiled and daughter ruler#2 council of northeastern Ohio.
CHARACTER
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a roper growth than success, that is forced as bothhouse products are forced. Character in a news-paper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-five years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to the public direct measures of its present advertiser.
EDITOR.
PROTEST! PROTEST!!
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and would serve our least disputes. The few who must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcoy.
THE MAN WHO DARES
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
Something Wrong!
There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong and someone will use these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

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. Perpetration of death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.

6287. County's right of action against member of mob
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-rejief from prosecution.
Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other people by violence and without authority of law or authority 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 person receiving or seriously disables the person receiving 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 and the assault is made. (163 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed 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 exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.)
Section 6222. 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 re-earns but equal to a child's share. If they be not children 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 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 stealing from a person. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in county, by proceeding 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 synched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed 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 decedent covers 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:
OBIS.
ed.
I representative of victim of lynchings by mob trying to lynch another.
I costs in tax levy.
I must member of mob.
I must 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.) A person of the 2828 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 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 Office of Ohio.
Senate 12418. Whoever, by the proprietor or his assignee, 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 to all the full enjoyment of the accommodations of such facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay the fine, and the penalty for five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or both, son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

A new six-wheeled reconnaissance truck which has been accepted by the British army after successful completion of tests during which it demonstrated its ability to cover exceptionally rough ground at a much higher speed than those now in use.
SAFETY PROGRAM ON LARGE SCALE
Auto Fatalities Show Increase of 29 Per Cent in Five Years.
Pointing out that motor vehicle fatalities throughout the nation had increased 29 per cent in the five-year period between 1924 and 1928, the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club announces plans for an intensive safety program on a scale far greater than ever before in the history of the club.
"While the motor club is taking every known means to reduce the number of accidents in which adults are involved, we shall center our efforts to save children from injury or death," the announcement said.
"After nearly ten years passed in fostering the school boys' safety patrol, we are convinced that that method is the most effective means yet devised for protecting the youngsters. Our safety staff has recently been doubled, and with the added personnel we shall be able to achieve 100 per cent organization of patrols throughout our territory.
Work of Patrols
"The majority of schools in that region has had patrols for a number of years. The large staff will make regular visits to the schools, not only for the purpose of organizing patrols, but to insure their operation in accordance with regulations, and to make effective addresses on safety to the student bodies.
"The distribution to school rooms of monthly safety posters, illustrated in two colors, is another phase of safety education that we shall enlarge. Last year we issued about 25,000 every month. We hope to double that number during the coming nine months of the school year. The posters portray a simple but effective lesson in safety, and most teachers require the children to write compositions based on them. Subjects on which the juvenile mind must give sufficient thought to write are not soon forgotten.
"Ways and means whereby the highway sign service has been perfected have been discovered, thereby permitting the club to co-operate 100 per cent with all communities desiring this service.
High Spots of Safety.
"The foregoing activities are but the high spots of the present safety plans of the club. They are not to be considered in the form of a "drive" or "campaign"; instead of being a temporary effort, they are being waged consistently and persistently at all times. The outstanding difference between past and future activities is that the latter will be far more widespread than the former."
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
Automobiles in use outside of the United States now equal the registration in this country in 1910.
Twenty-five miles an hour is "reckless driving" If the road is crowded, is the opinion now entered in the state laws of Indiana.
"Oh, gosh!" muttered the motorist who had just been struck from the rear by the fast freight. "It always makes me ill to ride with my back to the engine."
That it is regarded by many
that some of the misfiring lard
to the carburetor is due to loca-
tion of the spark plugs in too
cool a place? The spark, thus,
has too large a gap to jump.
That a considerable amount of
pedal play improves the opera-
tion of the hydraulic brakes on
some makes of car?
That gasoline consumption at
high speeds may be twice as
great as at the most economical
speed—the normal rolling speed
of the car?
That brake faults frequently
ascribed to lings sometimes
are due to warpage and scoring
of the brake drums?

Items for Medicine Kit
When on Long Car Trip
When leaving on an extended motor trip it is advisable to take along a few simple remedies to be used in case of an emergency.
Experienced campers recommend that the tourist's medicine kit should contain the following:
Roll of antiseptic bandage, a pair of small scissors, absorbent cotton, healing salve, closter plaster, castle soap, vaseline, adhesive plaster, glycerine suppositories, a few flaxseed, to remove cinders from eye; an eye cup, powdered boric acid, for eye wash; castor oil capsules, epsom salts, bicarbonate of soda, quinine capsules, citronella oil, to ward off the mosquitoes; camphor for chapped lips and hands; anti-cholera tablets, for diarrhea, and iodine applicators for bruises.

AUTUMN'S smartest cloth coats are both dared and furred. That there are ways and ways of flaring, as well as ways and ways of furring, the new modes all attest. Which varied treatments brings the sum total of novelty and diversity up to a point such as coats have not expressed for many a season.
Many coats follow the princess silhouette developing a flare at the hemline. By the way, not only the new coats, but frocks as well, reflect the princess-form-fitting influence to a large extent. Even the all-fur coat is inclined to adopt princess lines.
However, not all flares are developed a la princess. Some achieve hemline-fullness through the circular cut flounce as pictured. Others, yes, many others, adopt godets, these wedge-shaped insets being stitched in all about the hemline.
But enough of flares for the moment, for the flattering fur trimming which distinguishes this model is as much a theme of vital interest as is its modish flare. The caracau which so handsomely collars and cuffs this chic mode is the same brown tone as the broadcloth of which the coat is
WHETHER OF FELT
HATS MUST BE
TO BE modishly and beautifully hatted is an ambition which makes all the feminine world skim. The outlook for "dreams to come true" in regard to chic and flattering millinery was never more promising than at the dawn of this 1920-30 autumn and winter season.
That both fashionist and fashionable are developing a superior hat-consciousness there is no doubt—which augurs well for the future of an increasingly elaborate, a more feminine, a more intricately detailed, a more individualized type of millinery than it has been the privilege of women to enjoy for some time past.
Just now there is a hue and cry for the velvet hat, not, however, to the exclusion of the ever-beloved felt. Just friendly rivals, that's all. Strictly speaking, velvets function for dressy occasions, and felts and soledls for sports or in tailored ways.
One method of emphasizing color this season is to use two or more strikingly contrasted shades together. brown with orange, for example, or navy with the new pea-soup green.
made thus emphasizing the vogue for furs dyed to match or to blend in with the cloths they trim.
Another strikingly new feature in connection with fur trins is the use of two or more types of furs together. Per example, note the bands of pale beige ermine which accent the flare of the cuffs. This vogue for combining furs is expressed in divers ways, such as, for instance, very thin fabric like furs which are bordered with showy long-haired pelts. Then, too, flat furs are worked together, ermine being seamed with breadtail in a designful way, or perhaps two shades of carrot are joined.
The width and thure of the cuffs on this cont in the picture also call forth comment, for stunning conspicuous cuffs are much in evidence this season. In fact, novel sleeve treatments are especially claiming the attention of designers just now Not infrequently the sleeve is almost half of fur. That is, the fur extends quite to the elbow, applied in corsions design which calls forth admiration because of the sheer novelty of the thing.

HIGHLY COLORFUL
or red, yellow and black in a Spanish way, or black with white. Some hats are worked half-in-half, a black navy, dark green or wine crown, perhaps, with a contrasting light facing or the entire brim of a different color, or possibly two or more shades seamed together. The idea is to tune the color of the hat to the color of the costume. In most cases the hat duplicates the color of the dress or cont.
The first hat in the picture combines brown velvet with tangerine. This model would effectively top a yellow and brown print crepe frock such as is so definitely highlighted in the early autumn mode.
Velvet caps which take on huge bows, choux, or rosettes of self velvet are very smart, either in color or in black. The one in the picture is black, its ruffled rosette using the selvedge of the velvet as a trimming
Scarcely a snug cap in the new collections but what has either a big bow or an odd side-to-side drape, anything to acquire an irregular contour.
An absence of the front brims is a characteristic of many models, especially felts. In the instance of the sofli felt-shape to the right in the picture, the cutaway portion is utilized to achieve a widened side-to-side effect while at the same time the new brow-revealing vege is exploited.

OHIO'S COLORLINE GOVERNOR
NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL
Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper was sure busy, Sept. 29, making emancipation celebration speeches in Cincinnati and London where he addressed about 125 persons, men, women and children. His "emancipation day" activities were performed in a most spectacular way with the help of the daily press of the state, in a vain effort to win to his support Ohio Afro-Americans who would have none of him when he ran the first time and was defeated, and took less interest, if possible, in his second campaign when the large Ohio Hoover landslide swept him into office. For many years prior to his entrance into politics, Cooper was in the real estate business in Cincinnati where he demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of our people of that city, and the state of Ohio, his anti-"Negro" propensities, refusing to sell our people property and homes and endeavoring to drive others of the race from homes they had already purchased. He did these things in an effort to please the color or race prejudice, or both, of his community, and make money. That is why The Gazette has from the first continued its opposition to Cooper's candidacies for governor and will do so again when he stands for renomination and re-election. We believe he is a ku kluxer because of his anti-"Negro" activities not only in his home town, Cincinnati, for many years, but because of his failure or rather refusal to recognize our people with proper or really any worthwhile appointments since he became governor, a year ago last fall. His talk in Cincinnati, Sunday, of the "appointment of a commission of outstanding Colored people to consider ways and means to provide greater opportunities for the Colored man and to secure for him profitable employment, the commission to work under the department of education of the state" is buncombe and political hokum, pure and simple, and is not going to fool but very few of our people—some of the most ignorant and "jim-crow Negroes". Since becoming governor, Cooper has directly and indirectly made hundreds of appointments but not one worthwhile position has
Cleveland, O., Sept. 4, '29.
Editor, The Press,
The News and The Plain Dealer,
Cleveland, Ohio.
Dear Sirs:—According to an item in your paper of Sept. 3, '29 certain Colored doctors in this city are asking for the establishment of an east side branch of the City Hospital, something all the residents of the City of Cleveland for nearly a century have not thought or found necessary. Several of our councilmen have informed the writer that the City Hospital has several or more wards that are not in use because the city is too poor to put them in proper condition. In view of this, the writer is wondering where it will find the money to comply with the suggestion of the aforementioned Colored doctors and if it was able to do so, what justification it would have for such misuse of the taxpayers' money. The discrimination said doctors complain of as existing in the City Hospital can easily be eradicated by going into the courts because the City Hospital is a public institution and the law prohibits racial discrimination against citizens.
If the Colored doctors referred to wish a hospital of any kind, branch or otherwise, there is nothing to prevent their establishing such an institution, but there are strong and effective arguments against the use of public funds for any such purpose. Then, too, a three-story addition to the City Hospital is now being built.
THAT "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL AGAIN
The Gazette on Sept. 3, '29 was furnished with a lengthy resolution signed, or alleged to have been signed, by a number of local "Negro" doctors favoring an East Side Branch of the City Hospital, only another name for a local "jim-crow" hospital. The resolution contains nothing new on either side of the suben care of. No-one denies that. Ifject, but does emphasize the distressing fact that its signers have little or no concern for the future rights, privileges and progress of their people in this community, as far as lo-
been given to our people. Of course, this does not surprise us and we are not calling attention to it for that reason because we did not expect him to do so. But we are calling attention to the fact only for the purpose of showing and proving that Color-line Real Estate Dealer Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati is running true to form as the color-line governor of the great state of Ohio. The Governor said in his speech, Sunday, that "the Colored man has a right to his chance, to his opportunity to make good". Sure he has, and we cannot understand why the present governor of Ohio refuses to acknowledge this in a practical way also instead of merely saying it. Again the governor said: "To discriminate against a people who are sincerely trying to get on in the world and to do their part as good citizens, is to make an outcry against justice and right".
We know of no official in the state, from governor down to constable, who is making a louder "outcry against justice and right", just at this time, than Ohio's color-line governor, Myers Y. Cooper. No state official is doing so much to keep the Ohio "Negro" out of "a right to his chance, to his opportunity to make good in order that he may live respectably, rear his family in decency, comfort, and make of them what God designed they should become—decent, useful, self respecting citizens" as Gov. Cooper, because he has more "chances and opportunities" than any other official in the state for them to make good and withhold them. Yes, again quoting from the governor's emancipation speech in Cincinnati, Sunday: "We ought to take care of the American Negro and give him his chance", but "we" never will do so if we follow the precedent established by Colorline Gov. Myers Y. Cooper. We steadfastly refuses to appoint a single "Negro" to a worthwhile position in his administration of the state's affairs. There will be no Hoover landslide to carry him into office, next time, and the Ohio Afro-American voter, loyal to his people and with self and race respect will be found on the political ramparts firing into the Cooper camp, in the next campaign, just as he did, and successfully too, three years ago last fall. Cooper's political buncombe and hokum, Sunday, will avail him nothing with our people.
cal hospitals are concerned. "Negro" en care of. No-one denies that. If patients of Cleveland are being tak-there is segregation at the City Hospital and denial of rights and privileges to our internes and girls in that public institution and its nurses' training school, which is the case, these things do not justify the establishment of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital, but can be eliminated promptly whenever our people see fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly said, the establishment of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to "go to your own hospital" whenever they made application for admission to other local hospitals. The resolution's reference to "the Jewish section, the Italian section, the Irish section, etc.", reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections is asking for a segregated hospital for their own group or class, but have the good sense and judgment to use the city and other local hospitals just as our people are doing. The "jim-crow" hospital advocates' reference to the Central Ave, bath house and the Harlem hospital, New York City, is not pertinent, neither making any such condition as would the establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital in this city. The fact is that "if an East-Side-Branch of the Cleveland City Hospital" was located in the "Negro section", a year would not pass over our heads before every "Negro" making application for admission to any other local hospital but the "jim-crow" hospital would be forced to go to it and be barred from the other hospitals of the city. They would be told to go to their own hospital and everybody knows this, including the "jim-crow" advocates of an East-Side-Branch of City Hospital who would make a few jobs for themselves at even so great participate in the present hospital, offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nursurer discrimination, segregation a sacrifice to all of our people of the community. Their statement that they "are opposed to any city institution which practices segregation" placed alongside of their advocacy

of a "jim-crow" hospital is positively silly, and if they really were in earnest in a "determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, to and "jim-crow" action to prove said opposition. This latest movement of the local advocates of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital can be traced directly to the success of their ally, Color-line City Manager Hopkins, and the manager plan at the recent special election. We repeat, there will be no "jim-crow" hospital or East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital located in the "Negro section" of Cleveland.
