BLOSSOM Color-line Director of Welfare Urges Quick Action on Hospital Bonds But Won't Get It. Bonds to provide for the establishment of a "jim crow" branch of City Hospital on the East Side as asked by the chairman E. Gregg (this caused the mayor E. just week Tuesday) were urged by Color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom. Wednesday, Blossom said that with the moving of Lakeside Hospital, a new emergency will be created. Lakeside, he said, now cares for between 40 and 50 accident cases a day and Charity Hospital handles approximately 60 cases. Charity Hospital's load, he said, is beyond its capacity. Both hospitals and Bickle Hospital would like to fund "Negroes", and Gregg and Owens would like the job of caring for them in a "jim crow" East Side branch of the City Hospital. If Council passes the bond issue, considered by committees, Blossom said the city will have ample time to make arrangements by Jan. 1, 1931, when the emergency will arise. However, Blossom said, if the bond issue will not be able to meet the emergency, the director admitted that unless means are found to increase the city's operating revenue by 1031, there will not be sufficient funds available to operate a branch of City Hospital. However, Blossom pointed out that with the election of a new council in which the public has confidence, it would be willing to vote a special tax levy to provide more operating revenue. But they won't do anything of the kind. The ordinance to provide for a "jim crow" branch of City Hospital on the East Side "among the Negroes" was introduced by one-term Councilman E. J. Gregg, "from Alabama by way of Tennessee", who chairs the committee of Council. In the way somewhat improved the chances of his ordinance to reach the floor of Council where it will be promptly killed, as he is a member of the Welfare Committee and also of the Health and Sanitation Committee. Thus he will have two votes but they will do him no good. No Chance Seem Whatever treatment the committees give the ordinance, it has practically no chance, in the face of present opposition, to pass the Council, as it would require 20 votes to succeed. An emergency measure, next Monday, would be necessary to comply with the bond laws. auditorium where a sumptuous banquet was served.

Subscribe Now OUR SCHOOL-BOARD MEMBER An Experienced Local Public School Teacher — Ran as an Independent Republican Candidate. Mrs. Mary Brown Martin, triumphantly elected a member of the Cleveland Board of Education, last week Tuesday, was supported loyally by our people from whom she de- rived the major portion of her support. She defeated the vice-president of the Board, a member for many years, by more than 3,000 votes, her total vote being in excess of 53,000. Mrs. Martin's parents came to Cleveland in 1886 from Raleigh, NC, where she was born, and she graduated from second grade at old Rockwell school. She was graduated from Central High school in 1900 and was the class vocalist. Her daughter, Lydia, won the same honor in the same school 25 years later. Graduated from the Cleveland (Normal) School of Education in 1903, Mrs. Martin taught In St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Northhampton Ala, and in Cotton Plant, Ark. Art and Preyterian school. In 1905 she returned to Cleveland and that year was married to Atty. Alex. H. Martin. Four children were born to them: Lydia, age 21; Sarah, 19, a junior at O. S. U. and a student of her class the first two years; Alex. H., Jr., a freshman at B. College, O. S. U., and Stuart B. College, a freshman at Central High School. In 1920 Mrs. Martin resumed teaching, in the local public schools. When informed of her election, last week Wednesday, she said she hoped to be useful on the board because she is "in touch with the common people" and is a mother. She has four children, three of whom college and the fourth in high school. "I am not a servant all the citizens," Mrs. Martin said. "It was unfairly charged during the campaign that I would be a representative of just the colored people. I will not be there for any certain group, but for all". Not the least surprising and pleasing phase of the victory was the fact that the "League" "state" was broken by it. Mrs. Martin was declared "qualified" but the four members of the Board were stamped "preferred", by the league. Mrs Josephine Reilly, another independent candidate, who "teamed" in the contest with Mrs. Martin, the only Afro-American candidate for member of the Board, trailed the latter by a few points. The Gazette's report, given above, is the best to appear in any newspaper, local or foreign, and was ordered for it by Mrs. Martin whom the editor has known ever since she was a little girl. LIBERIAN LABOR ROW U. S. Names Its Charge D'Affairs for Hearing on Slavery Charges Washington, D. C. — Appointment of Henry Carter as temporary charge d'affaires of the American legation in Liberia, Wednesday, foretold an early showdown on reiterated charges that Liberia natives are being subjected to carolified labor. Liberia is a foreign service officer assigned to the Department of State. His home is Williamstown, Mass. He will serve in Monrovia during the proposed forced labor investigation by an international commission composed of one representative each of the United States, the League of Nations and Liberia. American participation in the investigation results from the fact that Harvey S. Firestone has large sums invested in Liberian the rubber plantations. The investigating commission will also look into the cause of Liberian labor leaving for other west coast African communities under British, French and Portuguese control.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WHAT IT IS HOPED TO DO REASONS FOR REACHING HIS CONCLUSION GIVEN BY DR. BYRD. The South Still Struggling to Get “Into the Saddle” and Direct Church, Politics—Hypocritical Creed Established by Whites. (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—The movement among Protestant churches for Church Union is not what it appears to be on the surface. This desired union is to bring white protestantism together without regard to its effect upon especially colored protestantism. This desire for church union is combative also. It is an attempt to have all protestants under control so that should the occasion arise, which demands a united stand against a protestant foe, it will be easy to do so. It is a fair question to ask whether this union is religious or political? Does white protestantism, as it does now, concern itself about the union of colored Christians or is it simply to force colored Christians for the sake of self-reveal, to unite and form a United Colored Church? This is evident for the following reasons: people. They have been received into the family of Republican states without any repentence. The same will be true in the matter of church union. As we see it our people should not oppose this union. It reveals the hearts of the whites seeking to come together. Colored people should have sense enough to come together also but upon a different basis and with a more real Christian attitude than actuating and bringing together whites. If colored Christians should unite there should be no hypocritical creed (long established by his white brother for financial reasons) considered in this union. Most assuredly if our people go into the kingdom of rest they will be of one mind there and why not here? There is one around upon which all christians can stand, namely: God is the Father of us all. He has pre- (a) In the contemplated union of Protestant Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South, Presbyterian Churches, North and South, and Reformed Churches, this union is to be consummated without regard to any change in conditions that caused the schism between the churches as well as two Presbyterian Churches, due to the slavery issue. (b) The Southern Churches have not changed their attitude toward colored people and their right for equality of brotherhood in the churches. If this union is consummated the southern principle and idea will prevail, instead of the northern. In fact what is now called the southern principle is but a plan to unite white Christians for more purposes than one. (c) The same spirit that caused southern states to change political policies and unite with northern states of a different political faith, is now at work seeking to bring about a similar change in the church. The political change came about in the political world without the least regard for the colored people and their rights. The south thinks the schism is over and Florida, Texas and North Carolina, as they did before they voted against Alfred Smith. They have not changed one iota in favor of the rights of our THE COMMUNITY FUND Annual Campaign On—Our Leaders in the Local Effort—The Mather Dinner Speaker. The eleventh annual campaign of the Community Fund will be set in motion, Monday. The goal is $4,650,000. Eight thousand leading citizens in every community in Greater Cleveland will take the field to participate, the State Prize against poverty, suffering and disease. Our people will be found doing their share of the work. Mrs. James K. Nickens, Captain Charles E. Frye, ex. sec. Cedar "Y", and Rev. Russell S.

Cleveland is the land of the largest successful charity chest in the world although more than 350 cities have followed its example. Former U. S. Senator George Wharton Peppard of Philadelphia, when addressing a common cause, Samuel Mather at the Mid-Day Club Monday said, "The Community Fund in Cleveland has united every religious sect and every race in the city under a common cause. If it did not accomplish another thing, this alone would justify its existence". Bombed His Home Atlanta, Ga. — Following the explosion of a bomb, last week, at the home of Herman White, 791 Proctor St., interracial committees of prominent citizens have taken up with the police department, the prosecuting attorney and the chamber of commerce the question of securing protection for our residents in that vicinity and of getting effective action against those who blew up the White home. Boydston post's armistice day dance, Monday evening, at Eagles hall, E. 46th St. and Euclid Ave. was a social and financial success. Several of our victorious candidates were in attendance.

Most assuredly if our people go into the kingdom of rest they will be of one mind there and why not here? There is one ground upon which all Christians can stand, namely: God is the Father of us all. He has prepared one Redeemer for us all. We accept this Redeemer and show our acceptance by acting toward each other as the Redeemer acts towards us. In other words, simply believe in God and show this love for God of the other manifested love for Man. All of the other rituals, nonessential to meet the desire of the scriptures in the present churches, with a variety of creeds, let us discard. Let us not fight about water, if any man desire to go so deeply under the water until he fails to come up and that he feels it is what he wants, let him do so, and those of us who do not think as he does, attend to our business and bury him when he comes to the top. A united Negro Church would mean economy, a more efficient clergy, a better run and less expensive church, for there would not be so many ecclesiastical grafting, less organization and more doing what is necessary and a stronger loving faithward each other such as Jesus manifested when he was here. Is there enough common sense among Negro Christians to call a Council of the churches and there consider a Church Union which would be one for Christianity's advancement, rather than for racial and political reasons? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. YE HO! MRS. MARTIN! Mrs. Emma Howell Ramsay Has a Job for You Already—Charges Race Discrimination in Local Public Schools. Charges of race discrimination in the local public schools were made, Tuesday, by Mrs. E. H. Ramsay, 1401 W. 75th St., who takes exception, to statements made, two weeks ago, by Mark L. Thomson, former president of the Cleveland Board of Education. Mrs. Ramsay vigorously objects to the assertion by Thomsen that hundreds of our children could not learn and should not be kept in school, and says: "Many colored children come to Cleveland from the South, where they have had inferior opportunities, or none at all. A colored child can learn as rapidly as a white child of the same mentality, if the proper method of teaching is employed. I know of many cases of rank discrimination used by white teachers in mapping out courses of study for colored pupils and not permitting to pursue their chosen subjects. They seem to think the educational standard set up for the white child is too good for the colored child. If the Afro-American is ignorant and criminally inclined, as the enemies of the race would have everyone believe, then the white educators of the country are to blame. If more money could be appropriated for proper teaching of mentally retarded, white and colored children, would it not be much more worth-while than an appropriation of $10,000 for teaching the game of bridge in the public schools?" Mrs. Ramsay also complained of "maneuvering" in the school civil service examinations, charging that last March she stood first in an examination for a position in the examination department and several persons, who stood lower than she did, were given positions over her head.

IN UNION IT IS STRONGER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1929 The two white brutes who murdered a woman of the race in Eros La., some months ago, are at last serving life-sentences in the penitentiary of that state. This is exceptional for Louisianna and the entire South. --- The great Massachusetts jurist, Moorfield Story's death takes from us about the last of the "old abolition guard"; real, true friends who were active in our behalf over half a century ago. He will surely be missed, particularly by the N. A. A. C. P. of which he was president. --- A testimonial banquet in honor of our successful local candidates, at the recent election, is being considered by a committee. A big mass meeting to which ALL could come, who so desired, might be better. This is only a suggestion to the committee. Think it over, ladies and gentlemen. --- Wonder if the local daily newspapers knew that they were not helping our people of this community when they featured the slavery references in their articles (last week) relative to Mrs. Mary B Brown, our member-elect of the Cleveland Board of Education? The sooner we (and every other person in this country) forget all about slavery, the better it is going to be for us. --- Mayor Arthur Johnston of Miles Heights, a suburb of this city, one of the two or three Ohio Afro-American mayors, was re-elected, last week Tuesday, the he was opposed by five white candidates for the place, and less than one-third of the voters of the village being members of the race. So Cleveland Afro-Americans, with their new member of the local Board of Elections and three members (one re-elected) of the City Council, feel pretty good, thank you. Abe Washington of Florida, who many months ago killed another white brute who was endeavoring to outrage his two daughters and was sentenced to death for the same, has had the sentence commuted to life-imprisonment after months of effort in the courts of that state. Washington should never have been sentenced, but should have been freed and would have been if he were white. Where is the boasted chivalry of the South toward its women and girls that any MAN, who protects the virtue and honor of his daughters, can be thus treated compelled to serve a life-sentence in the penitentiary for so doing? Lord, have mercy! Recommendation of the administration as to how the $1,000,000 in councilmanic bonds should be apportioned was decided upon, late Monday, by Color-line City Manager Will R. Hopkins and his cabinet. They approved $400,000 for paving and sewers; $350,000 for an East Side ("jim-crow") City hospital; $110,000 for welfare department needs; $65,000 for the fire department; $60,000 for the police department, and $15,000 for the parks department. The administration recommendation was presented to council, Tuesday night, in the form of an ordinance and was referred to the finance committee. Whether the program is followed is up to council which will undoubtedly eliminate the $250,000 for Gregg's "jim-crow" hospital, if indeed the finance committee does not do so before it reaches the Council. Dr. Dud Blossom, director of Welfare, collaborates with Hopkins and Gregg in their "jim-crow" hospital scheme which is soon to receive its death blow. Mayor John D. Marshall said, Tuesday, that he doubted that the Gregg "jim-crow" hospital resolution could pass. Of course, it can't. How can it, with Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George "ferninat" it; also Councilmen-elect Leroy N. Bundy and Lawrence O. Payne, with Rev. Brown a member of the Council finance committee, too? This, along with the fact that it would simply provide for the waste of $250,000 more of the taxpayers' money for the sole purpose of making a few jobs for "Colored physicians". The Hopkins-Blossom-Gregg "hobby", a local "jim-crow" hospital, termed an East-Side branch of the City hospital, is too expensive and unnecessary a plaything for that segregation trio of city officials. If they must have it let them pay for it and not the Cleveland taxpayers. The fact is Hopkins and Blossom want the "jim-crow" hospital for the purpose of getting all our sick out of all the other hospitals of the city. Gregg wants to head it (on a good salary) and "cover in" Dr. James A. Owen his most active assistant in "jim-crow" hospital advocacy, the past two years; and possibly a few others of our local segregationist "doctors", it is said. The fact that the issues must be passed by next Monday to comply with law, compels one suspension of the rules to eliminate the third reading. This will require 20 votes in favor of each ordinance as an emergency measure. The issues to be voted on, besides the hospital, sewers and paving bonds, are: $200,000 for land at the airport; $60,000 for police equipment; $60,000 for fire department; $15,000 for parks equipment; $110,000 for welfare department construction and equipment. The hospital question is expected to begin the fight at the next meeting. Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George, and Councilmen-elect Leroy N. Bundy and Lawrence O. Payne have announced their opposition to a hospital such "jim crow" as would be provided. His resolution-demand, of some months ago, that Hopkins clarify the city's policy on this question will be pushed by Rev. Brown. Dr Bundy says he will bring the question to a referendum if Council passes it. There is no danger, however, of it passing. "THE LEADER". Several of the misguided friends of one or two of our councilmen-elect seem to be worrying as to who will be "the leader", meaning our leader, in the Council, after Jan. 1, 30. All three of our councilmen, George (re-elected), Payne and Bundy, will be "the leader" for they will collaborate and work together as one, if they expect "to get anywhere" in their efforts particularly for their Afro-American constituents. The misguided friends, referred to, must not begin now to array one of our councilmen against another in any such way unless they are desirous of ruining the future of their favorite and making of him "a one-term" councilman as was true in the case of Dr. E. J. Gregg, George, Bundy and Payne's accomplishments will speak for them and determine the matter of leadership Talk and the "boosting" (?) of misguided friends will not do it. Remember this, please. EXIT GREGG! Councilman E. J. Gregg's advocacy of an East Side Branch ("jim crow") of the City Hospital did more to encompass his defeat, last week Tuesday, election day, than anything else unless it was his refusal to vote for a member of the race (Harry E. Davis) for member of the City Civil Service Commission, insisting on voting for a Democrat (white). The Gazette led in this effort and serves notice on all, here and now, that it intends to keep up the good work in the future. Afro-Americans in local public offices must "make good", be loyal to their people and give them something in return for their support of said officials of color. No more "Greggs" will be tolerated. He was permitted to go too far, without proper protest on the part of our people, in the very beginning. Afro-Americans of this community will have no more of it, and this includes "round robin" signing ministers, too. Even a newspaper's saying a man, in or out of office is "the leader" does not make him such. This applies to both ministers and laymen. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, Q., SATURDAY, NOV. 16, 1929 THE MICROCENTRAL PUMP Scientists of the bureau of standards at Washington are testing a new system of refining oil which has been drained from automobile crank cases and making it again usable. The plant consists of a still and condenser and a series of containers in which the various grades of oil are separated which in turn is connected to a vacuum pump. If the device proves as practical on a large scale as it is said to have in the tests, a new and important saving will be effected in motor car operation. Dr. Winslow H. Herschel of the bureau is seen with the model plant which is being tested at the bureau. FAMILY SEEN BY RIDE ON SUNDAY Crowd. For those men who complain that they see too little of their families, a Sunday afternoon motor ride is just the thing, according to Francis F Beirne, writing in the Household Magazine. They will never complain again. "The object, of course," writes Mr Beirne, "is to start as soon after dinner as possible in order to get ahead of the crowd, but as every one has the same object in view, the crowd very logically meets on the highway. That is, all except the slowest cars, which by a strange contradiction get there first and lead the procession. But once in the lead they seem to give up trying. Mother on Rear Seat. "The mother should be placed on the rear seat, so that nothing can occur behind her back. There she can feel the fullest force of the jolt when the father shifts from high to second, keep a lookout for cars approaching from the right, left, front or rear, determine when to pass a car, detect the odor which smells like the brakes burning, separate the children before they come to blows and in between times reiterate her suspicion that one of the rear tires is flat. She would naturally offer timely and valuable warnings and make constructive suggestions to the father on what he is doing wrong, as a good helpmate should. "Fresh air is famous for its beneficial quality. To insure a supply on the motor ride, all the windows of the car should be tightly closed or leaving home before the exhaust from the car ahead has time to get in its deadly work. "After a time, even the best motoring grows monotonous. Energetic children may be expected to grow restless. However, they can find relief by hurling inflammatory remarks at each other and by tampering with the door handles. They must be warned that if they persist, they will never be taken for a ride again. The threat must be made in as convincing a manner as possible and just as if it had not been uttered on every preceding ride and as yet had not been enforced. Vacation Needed. "Mothers who go for a ride," concludes the writer, "will return more than ever persuaded of the need of a vacation away from the children which is something gained. Fathers will have satisfied the yearning to see more of their children. If they are the wrong sort of fathers, they may even ponder the advantages to be derived if 'taking the family for a ride' had something of the meaning it has among gangsters in Chicago." Motorist Should Think Before Leaving Trash No motorist would think of cluttering up his front tawn with empty cans, wrapping paper and bits of garbage, yet that is exactly what some owners do when they visit camping or picnic grounds, points out Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "It would be well for motorists to remember that if they would place refuse after a picnic in the receptacles that are usually to be found for that purpose, the grounds would appear far more inviting to the next car owner that arrives," continued Mr. Hayes. "Leaving trash in the open is a sign of thoughtlessness and dis courtesy. Pichlkers who are imbued with a sense of the fitness of things and the rights of others will see to it that the ground they have occupied is clean before they leave." Worry Over Water Loss Entirely Unnecessary Worrying over loss of water in the radiator and cooling system has become part of the process of car ownership for many tourists. Despite all their efforts to keep the system filled and tight, a certain amount of water is lost daily, regardless of the length of the run. It should be good news to such tourists that their trouble is merely the result of being too eager to keep the radiator full. Whenever a car owner fills the radiator to the brim he is wasting his time. He's overlooking the overflow pipe in which the top layer of water splits when the car is bounced and the water is agitated.

Jolts Show Trouble in Isn't it strange how the person who is bounced off the seat when the car goes over an uncharted hole in the road will be surprised when the ammeter, the oil gauge or the clock temporarily goes out of commission? Whenever the car has been over a particularly rough spot in the road and the instruments do not register properly, it is well to consider that their indicators, in the case of meters, may be slightly dislocated or thrown off their course, or that the hands of the clock may be stuck together. AUTOMOBILE HINTS There are 6,582,000 miles of high way in the world. The average life of an automobile is six and three-fourths years. Have the radiator contents checked at every stop for gas on the touring trip. The cooling job is exceptionally heavy. It takes about 1,500 nuts to hold an automobile together, but it only takes one to scatter it all over the landscape. Aside from the nation's highway bill, a total of $200,000,000 is spent annually for street construction and maintenance. A bus 125 feet long is being built in a European factory instead of in Rhode Island in which case it would have been an interstate proposition from the start. Our advertisers want your trade.

Therefore, we have our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us.

It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whitp. "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 circle of his life, expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, 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 Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 900 years of discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-reflective guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Have Mystery. WELL, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, GET IT, IM IN A HURRY 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 starting 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., feed. 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 mob-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 MOBS. 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 takes from officers of justice by a mob, assaults with whisls, 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 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 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 exceed $10,000, ages 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, receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be 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 or an intestate. Such sum so recov- 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.) He or his legal representatives 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. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel the guardian for such recovery. (33.162.9) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or 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: BS. od. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob just another county. 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 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 enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race the full enjoyment of the accommodations or privileges thereof; the ties or privileges thereof shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not 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 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!

Referee Johnny Brassill de- clared it no contest on the ground that Godfrey was not trying. George was on the receiving end during most of the seven rounds. Byrne would land several left hooks to the head and then go into a clutch, a position in which the fighters were most of the time. Godfrey weighed 256 pounds and Byrne 195.

Wilberforce scored the second touchdown in the last minute of play. Wilberforce accepted a forward pass on Howard's 15-yard line. A pass from Thornhill to Lucas, then a pass from Tynes to Thornhill, accounted for the last touchdown; then 'Force successfully kicked goal.

The new tweeds are the talk of the town. And as if these handsome tweed suitings were not sufficient unto themselves, they are being lavished with luxurious and novel fur to a thrilling degree. Oh! there's no doubt about it the furred tweed suit is having its day, and what a day of triumph it is proving to be. The new-this-season tweeds are very interesting. One of their characteristics is that of being loosely woven. Then, too, they introduce such features in their weaving as being flecked, or nubbed or variously patterned, usually with varnish of a different color. These flecks and nubs and otherwise splotches of contrasting yarn are in turns complemented with matching fur trimming. For instance a brown tweed flecked with white is trimmed with white caracul, a blue tweed spotted with gray takes on gray fur borderings, collar and cuffs. The swagger costume in the picture gives some idea of what is in promise in the way of furred tweed suits for the coming months. There's chic supreme written in every detail of this sulf' from its tuck-in blouse, to its tuxedo revers of curly astrakhan so cleverly belted. It is everything it should be, according to the standard set for suits of the high-toned class. IT'S MODISH TO BE BLACK FURRED BLACK for coats is a style message which comes straight from Paris. In fact in Parisienne is making black a paramount theme, not only in matter of her luxuriously furred coat, but likewise her hats, her frocks for both formal evening and daytime wear, accent the favor for distinguished black. Of the handsome black coats which have been given a stellar role in the autumn and winter style program, one inclines to say that they have developed a superiority complex, for there's certainly nothing inferior about the costly furs and fine materials of which they are fashioned. A patrician all-black coat of quality kind, both as to the cloth of which it is made and the fur which enriches it, ever creates a feeling of gentility and refined elegance. Which is exactly the spirit of the new fashions—to tune to the gracious dignity of the gentlewoman rather than cater to the caprices of the flapper. So it is that coat displays are to a large extent made up of all-black models which glory in their patrician styling and materials. While for the colorful sports coats novelty rough surfaced woolens are the rage, when it comes to the all-black dressy coat, it is the smooth-surfaced weaves which are sought. Don't T But Give it Designers are certainly doing wonderful things in the way of creating suits which display refreshing originality. In the current suit showings such striking novelties hold forth as black and white tweed enhanced with black fur pointed with white, or that which is ultra-smart, a red toned tweed trimmed with fox dyed to match. Black tweed with black fur presents another fashionable theme. A salt and pepper tweed without any fur at all is made up with novelty touches, the newest note being the conspicuous use of large bone buttons on revers, collar, cuffs and also on the pockets.

The list of media for the black coat is incomplete which does not cite the importance of velvet. The competition is keen between the two-black cloth and black velvet. It happens that the fur which trims the broadcloth coat which pretties Laura la Plante, motion picture actress, is wearing in the picture, is of the long-haired variety, for such pelts as black fox, wolf, lynx and monkey are in excellent style. How ever, just as much, if not more, enthusiasm is expressed for flat and fabric-like furs such as caracul, Persian lamb, broadtail and astrakhan Novelty is the keynote to all fur treatments this season, together with super-luxuriousness. Especially do the vogushal furl furs yield to unique manipulation. Collars embrace every known variety. They begin with simple little upstanding flares, dressmaker types they call them, for a clever bow or some other whimsical detail usually styles them, and then on and on they go through various stages such as cavat scarfs, kerchief squares, luxed reverses, perhaps climaxing in huge affairs of shawl collar type or assuming generous roll effects.

SATURDAY, NOV. 16, 1929 ROCKNE GRID MAGIC SPREAD BY TELEPHONE Telephones have been in use for a number of years to facilitate the reporting of football games, but it remained for the doughty mentor of Notre Dame to enlist them as a part of his coaching system. The Rockne men were out for the Navy goat at Baltimore Stadium and Knute Rockne, confined in South Bend, Indiana, by illness, was unable to be present. Physical inability failed to daunt Rockne. Since he could not take himself to Baltimore, he sent his voice by long distance telephone, speaking with each of his men. Whatever magic he dispensed through the network of cables and wires that carried his voice to the scene of the grid encounter, Notre Dame administered a trouncing to the Middles by a score of 14 to 7. Clean House Daily? Telephone Men Do It A House cleaning in the dial telephone exchanges of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company not only comes in the spring, but every day in the year. Dirt, the greatest worry of the model housewife, is a constant menace to the perfect operation of the dial system. Each day the equipment cleaner for each exchange extracts the dust and dirt from the dial equipment by means of a vacuum cleaner in the manner illustrated above. This daily operation guarantees efficient functioning of the equipment. The Ohio Bell Telephone Company maintains dial telephone exchanges in Cleveland, Columbus, Canton, North Canton, Alliance, Youngstown, Toledo and Washington Court House, and is preparing to place the system in Akron, Dayton and Springfield. Switchboard Calls Former Operators S. Miss Betty Morton Something about a telephone operator's job stays with her if she leaves the business world, according to Miss Betty Morton, evening chief operator in the East Liverpool exchange of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. "Girls who have given up positions as operators usually want to come back if ever there is again occasion for them to work," said Miss Morton. "Every event of importance in the city is reflected on the telephone switchboard as the number of calls is suddenly increased," she said. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.

YOUR BREAKFAST CAME IN AN OLD TELEPHONE BOOK Discarded Directories Often Become Breakfast Food Containers The old telephone directory you discarded during the last distribution of new ones may bring your breakfast tomorrow. That is, if you are a cereal addict. When the crisp new directory replaces the old faded one, you soon forget how well it has served you. Here is the story of the rejuvenation of the outcast. In most cities the distributor of the new directories is also a collector of the old ones. During the distributions in Ohio, hundreds of thousands of worn telephone books, weighing many tons, are collected by the agents of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company and hauled to various paper companies where they are bound in bundles. Here the bundles are packed in box cars and sent to the paper mills of Michigan. At the mills the once neatly arranged directories receive a severe shock. The "Kellys" are mixed with the "Cohens" and the doctors are jumbled with the mechanics until the books are reduced to a pulp, which is chemically treated, and finally emerges from the driers over the rollers as sheet cardboard. This cardboard is then taken to a box factory where it is cut and sized into cardboard cartons—in some cases the same carton used by a well-known cereal company.

F all of the telephone buildings used by the Ohio Bell Telephone Company were assembled, they would form the business section of a good sized city. The company owns 110 buildings over the state, ranging in height from one story to twenty-two and having a total value of more than $17,000,-000. In addition, 70 buildings are rented for the purpose of furnishing telephone service to Ohio patrons. With this vast outlay of buildings, each one housing expensive equipment which, in most cases, exceeds the building itself in value, must go an intricate network of outside plant, or wires and cables and other apparatus necessary for voice transmission. Some idea of this system may be gained by a glance at a chart showing the distribution of blood vessels in the human body and with an imaginative eye visualizing each as a channel of speech having its own individual importance in the operation of the system as a whole. py of The aintance wh NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL 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 outlay of Butler operation of containing equipment and offices. on. completed at Tiffin. The Ohio Bell building program at the present time involves millions of dollars, with large new structures going up in Akron and Dayton and smaller ones being constructed in other parts of the state. The Dayton building will be started before the end of 1929, while the Akron structure is well along in construction. Must Harmonize A telephone building is designed to harmonize with its surroundings. Requirements for these structures are more or less tandard in regard to equipment needs, but the outward appearance often varies in a manner appropriate to its setting. Simplicity of line is usually aimed for, except in unusual cases, and materials for the facades are the same in many cases. For the larger buildings, like the Cleveland headquarters building and the Akron and Dayton buildings, the American perpendicular style of architecture is followed, usually with the setback plan that has attracted so much favorable comment in regard GAZETTE who might Su (5) Dayton's new building on which work is starting.

Smith, Editor THAT "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL AGAIN W 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.

"Negro" care of. No-one denies that. If patients of Cleveland are being takere 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 are forced to take 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, 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 buildings Neck of Telephone (5) Dayton's new building on which work is (6) Telephone business office and "repeater sta- (7) Typical central office building housing the Columbus. to the newer Bell System buildings over the country. **Beauty and Efficiency** The aim in each case has been to combine beauty with efficiency in a manner that would make the physical conception of the structure pleasing to the eye and yet allow for the rapid and accurate functioning of equipment in its distribution of telephone calls. Certain special provisions must be made for the accommodation of telephone equipment. Ceilings of certain floors must be higher to allow room for tall racks and frames and the structures must be generally reinforced to more than an ordinary extent to withstand the greater floor loads imposed by the large amounts of copper, iron, steel, and lead which are used in telephone equipment. Provisions must be made for attractive ground floor rooms, where the public may be received in the transaction of telephone business. The basements must be designed to permit the entran. of large cables leading up to the nerve cen- sus E After Read bscribe after 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 be required 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. The hospital would be told to go to their own hospital, which 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 participation 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" and "are segregated" placed alongside of a "jim-crow" hospital is positively sily, and if they really were in earnest in a "determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, and to "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 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. necessary the System k is starting. er station" in Springfield. g the Fairfax and Evergreen exchanges in ters of the systems and for this purpose, cable vaults are con- Vast System While presenting a considerable outlay in itself, the Ohio group of buildings is only a unit in a much vaster system, that of the Bell System over the entire nation. This system owns more than 2,300 buildings which, with the land on which they rest, are valued at approximately $335,000,000, and which constitute probably the largest group of buildings belonging to any one company or institution in the country. During 1928, 122 new buildings were added and 39 additions to buildings were made. Before the close of 1929, it is probable that more than 200 will have constituted the Bell system building program for the year. All of these buildings, of course, are not central office buildings. Many of them serve storage and warehouse purposes to house the vehicle and tool outlay necessary for the maintenance of such a vast system. reading It er Reading It
