SMUTS-HOWARD CONFERENCE Was a Secret Affair on Order of the Phelps-Stokes Fund President, Says Emory B. Smith of Washington, D. C.—The lack of information coming from the Smuts-Howard conference, of a few weeks ago, is explained by Howard's publicity man, Emory B. Smith, who claims he was not admitted to the conference. All of our newspaper representatives were treated the same way with the result that the list of names of those who were in attendance was about five times as long as the eight or ten lines devoted to what General Jan Smuts was supposed to have said in the conference. Howard's publicity man claims the attendance upon the conference was regulated by Dr. Anson Phelps-Stokes, president of the Phelps-Stokes fraternity with President Worceland W. Johnson of Howell. U. W. was responsible for the conference. It was understood, says Howard's publicity man, that no publicity was to be given the conference except that he Phelps-Stokes fund, all of which was very unsatisfactory indeed to the general public, especially our section of it.

THOROLY WORTHY! Hon. Joseph C. Manning Critically Ill — Authority on Southern Conditions — Victim of Cancer — An Appeal! New York City — Joseph C. Manning, former Population leader, state representative of Alabama, can postmaster of Alexandria City, Ala., under McKinley and Roosevelt, and lone exponent of justice and equality among all citizens in the South; who for the past thirty years has been a relentless fighter against peonage, disfranchisement and black-belt frauds; whose messages attracted national attention throughout South, North and South, and whose vitriolic speeches forced him to flee to the North Hon. Joseph C. Manning. where he continued to expose the South for its injustice to our group and made him a man without a home; now lies critically ill of cancer of the throat. The his voice is silent, he still painfully attempts to write. Not since the days of Lincoln has a white man come out of the southland imbued with the truth, justice and fair-play for our group, had the courage of his conviction, and dared to speak thru press and the actual conditions existing south of Jason Island as has J. C. Manning. To-day he is on his deathbed, after nearly forty years' battle, realizing his physical condition; and having sacrificed fortune, wife and family of six children and a great future, ostracized and hated by the South, all because he dared to fight for the principles enunciated by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Lincoln, John Brown, Grant and Wendell Phillips. Every citizen of color, who has an ounce of faith, is not hated by the writing. With fortune gone, health impaired and now in need of financial aid, he is resigned to his fate. Let not us be further charged with ingratitude to our benefactors. A man, who has lost wife and children for a common principle of justice and equality for black folks, deserves to die believing that his work was not in vain, and those for whom he fought appreciated his efforts.

Young, and of the South Africa dioceses of the A. M. E. Church, has found prejudice in South Africa worse than in his native state, Texas. The Bishop says: "It is most unhappy that so much unreasonable prejudice stalks thru this wonderful land of promise, but we should view the European mind in the light of circumstances, and I fear that there are too many opportunities be justification for the estimate our neighbors place on us. "Clean yourselves up, stop hanging round where you have no business, avoid the very appearance of filth. Do your work and do it faithfully and worthly. Don't be ashamed of yourselves, use your opportunities. Don't be enemies, make friends. Cultivate good will and the sympathetic interest of all". No "Superior Bace". Nashville, Tenn.—"There is no such thing as a 'superior race', the there are superior individuals within each race", was the statement of Rabbi Julius Mark, in his keynote address before the annual meeting of the State Inter-racial committee in this city, recently. "The illusion of 'race superiority' is a fallacy", Dr. Mark continued, "and gives rise to a great deal of trouble. People should learn also that race prejudice is not 'instinctive' but 'acquired'. Consequently, it can be eradicated." Miss Wilhelmina Allen of Cohasset St. Lakewood, and sister of this city were called to Newark, N. J., last week by the critical illness of another sister who resides there. Geo. W. Buchanan, an old resident in the work of St. Jude's A. M. E. church, joined a sister in Springfield, recently, with a view to improving his health. He wrote The Gazette, this week, that he is better. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MASS MEETINGS CONTEMPLATED RESOLUTIONS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED BY THE LAYMEN'S AND CITIZENS' RIGHTS LEAGUES Asking City Manager Morgan to Oust the Prejudiced Director of Welfare, Dudley S. Blossom, Soon—Patience Waning. About ten days ago City Manager Daniel E. Morgan informed the local public that he expected to be able to announce the successor to Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom and "the people." More than ten days have elapsed and he has failed to do so. There are over fifty thousand of our people in this community who are more or less patiently waiting for the ousting of Blossom, the director of welfare who so coarsely and insultedly said to members of the race who called on him to protest against the barring of our boys and girls from training in the city. "No, I am not going to allow Negro boys and girls to train in the City hospital!" This position was upheld by the then City Manager Wm. P. Hopkins, and more than anything else was what caused the activity in the third and fourth councilmanic districts that resulted in the triumphant election of Councilmen Herman H. Finkle, Mildred L. Bronstrup, Lawrence O. Payne, LeRoy N. Bundy, Clayborne George, and others, all of whom had at least given great credit to work vigorously for and secure the ousting of Hopkins and Blossom. Hopkins was promptly "fired" and if City Manager Daniel E. Morgan does not want the local Republican ticket sent down to a stinging defeat, this fall, he will listen to this respectful request and insistence of the thousands of our voters of this city and county for the removal of Dudley Blossom, still acting director of welfare. Delaying this greatly desired action will not soften but only intensify the feeling against the man that is held by every self-respecting man and woman of the race this community, all of whom have the right to vote in that man that he apparently held for them when he so coarsely and insultingly blurted out to visiting delegations of Afro-Americans: "No, I am not going to allow Negro boys and girls to train in the City hospital." The fact that he and his superior official, Hopkins, were forced to sign the Walz resolution, the evening of the day that Hopkins was ousted, does not lessen in the least the objection of our people to continuing Dudley Blossom in office, and City Attorney Morgan, we are sure, understands this, our Either Blossom goes out of his cabinet or the Republican ticket will have such a fight on its hands, this fall, as it has never had before, and will never forget! We do not propose to be denied our rights and privileges in a public institution, be held up before the entire community as *pariahs*, grossly insulted by the city official most responsible for that miserable condition, and then overlook and acquiesce in his re-appointment by our City Manager who could not have been elected but for the assistance not only of our three councilmen, but also of Pawel and Payne because for that of others like Finkle and Bronstrup who owe their seats in the City Council of Cleveland to our voters of this community more than to any others. Mr. City Manager, Blossom must go, soon! If you cannot find a suitable man to succeed him in all this large city of nearly a million inhabitants, then give the place to a capable woman, and there are many in the city who have never filled the position far better than Blossom ever has, and without half trying. The real thing to do, however, is to give our people the appointment because they are entitled to it on the score of their potency as a factor of the Republican party of the city of Cleveland. Come, Mr. Morgan, we want action, and are going to have it, unless the city falls the fall election is to be sacrificed on the altar of JUSTICE! A PROTEST RESOLUTION. At a largely attended meeting, Sunday afternoon, the Layman's League of Cuyahoga County, the following protest resolution was unanimously adopted and a copy of it forwarded to City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, and the local daily and weekly newspapers: We, the Layman's League of Cuyahoga County, representing a large portion of law-abiding and respectable colored citizens of this city and county, after having reviewed your career while rendering service in THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- son with any will immediately estab- lish its rank as one of the NEWSI- EST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Blossom, several capacities in this city, do not feel that you would retain any one in your cabinet who is unjust and unfair to any group of people. A. DUDLEY S. BLOSSOM Some time ago a committee of colored citizens called on the Director of Public Welfare, Mr. Dudley S. Blossom, in regard to colored nurses and internes being trained in the City Hospital. We quote his statement to said committee: "As long as I am director of public welfare, no Negro boy or girl will be trained in the City Hospital". This statement has been broadcast, and voiced his attitude toward our group during the years of his administration. Therefore, be it resolved. That the Laymen's League of Cuyahoga County voicing the sentiment of a number of civic, political and religious organizations of this city, as well as its own, do protest and respectfully request that Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom be removed from your cabinet. Signed: R. S. Rector, Pres., Louie Williams, Sec., E. A. Bailey, M. D., H. L. Taylor. The local Citizens' Rights League was revived in the Gazette office, Monday evening, by a select number of our local leaders who propose to "say it" in deeds rather than in words. The organization means just what its name implied, years ago, no more immediately after re-organization, the followingsulations were unanimously adopted, ordered spread upon the minutes of the league and copies of the same forwarded immediately as designated in said resolutions. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The League, pres. Mr. L. Williams, sec. Herbert T. Taylor, treas.; and Roy S. Rector, chairman of the executive committee. RESOLUTIONS. Wherecas, Dudley S. Blossom, Director of Welfare of the City of Cleveland, under City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, led in the effort to bar our boys and girls from training in the City Hospital, a public institute maintained by the tax-payers of Cleveland, and must be able responsible for the recent advancement of the examination for entrance thereto which it is hoped will bar our boys and girls from said hospital for at least another year, and Wherecas, said Dudley S. Blossom, as Director of Welfare, not only led in the training of our boys and girls from training in the City Hospital, but was so agravatically insulting in his personal contact with several individuals and delegations of our leading men who called upon him, last year and the year previous, in connection with this hospital controversy, very offensively saying to at least one of them: "No. I am not able to allow Negro boys and girls to train at City Hospital", therefore it be Resolved, that since the Walz resolution adopted unanimously by the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, plainly stipulates that "such opportunity shall in no event be denied or abridged on account of the race or color of anyone seeking such training", we call upon City Manager Daniel E.

Mr. Morgan attended the forum on the invitation of one of our employees of the Union club. Ex-Governor Harry L. Davis was the speaker at St. Paul's forum, E. 55th St. and Quincy Ave., Sunday afternoon. This was his first speech since the charter amendment campaign, last fall. He commended the election of City Manager Daniel E. Morgan and praised the council for ousting Ex-City Manager W. R. Browne. He will favor abolishing the manager plan and may lead another campaign. Councilmen Bunny and Payne also spoke. Judge Martin L. Sweeney of the Municipal Court refused to hold the fifteen persons, arrested in a police raid at 2280 E. 55th St., Jan. 30, on the ground that no arrests can be made without the issuance of a warrant. "It seems", said the judge, "that these clean-ups always center on the poor people". He might have added, "in the third police precinct". This resulted in Director Barry and Chief Guild issuing orders to use more "discretion" in future gambling and bootlegging raid activities. The first of the week, Atty. Chester K. Gillespie started suit for $500 under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law, against the Hotel Statler Co. for the refusal of one of its elevator conductors to permit Geo. K. Lilly. E. 95th St., to ride to the hotel's second floor to attend a meeting of the Federated Churches of Cleveland. The elevator conductor told Mr. Lilly that he was acting under the instructions of Howard P. Dugan, manager of the hotel, "to permit no colored persons to enter said elevators". This will cost Hotel Statler at $300, at least. World war veterans, at present suffering from disability or disease resulting from military service, must file application for disability compensation before April 6. Claims are filed with the U. S. veterans' bu reau, 327 Hanna Bldg. Forms on which to make application and information on disability compensation in connection with old as well as new claims can be obtained at the central claims bureau. A citizens' committee met at the P. W. A., Thursday evening, to plan arrangements for a special train to Columbus, April 16, when the government will return the colors of the 372nd Inf. The French ambassador, Mr. Delly de Jecorations, as well as the colors. The 372nd Inf. is the only Ohio unit which received Capt. Charles E. Frye. French decorations for special service during the World War. A large delegation from this city is expected to go to Columbus for April 16. The citizens' committee will have charge of the arrangements for the trip. Captain Charles E. Frye, executive secretary of the Cedar "Y", is captain of the local company of the 372nd Inf. The Central Ave. street-cars run every ten minutes during the day until 6 P. M. After that, every twelve minutes until midnight. For about an hour, between 4:30 and 5:30, cars are run every six or eight minutes. This is miserable service, especially for a line that runs thru the heart of the city, and that the Cleveland Railway Company said, year before last, was the second best paying line in the city. Since then, it looks very much as if the company has been endeavoring to drive the Central Ave. street-car line patrons over to the Cedar and Scovill Ave. lines by giving such miserable service. Then, too, it is currently rumored that the cars are to be taken off Central Ave. and an automobile thorafore made of that street just as soon as the Lorain-Central bridge is finished. The business men of the avenue ought to organize immediately and "get busy", unless they are willing to be put out of business in a few years. In the meantime, our councilmen, Payne, Bundy and George, should see to it that their constituents, who use the Central Ave. street-car line are treated better. There should, at least, be a six minute line during the day like the Scovill and Cedar Ave. lines. There is no reason why our people should be so discriminated against, as indicated in the foregoing. LIFE INSURANCE COLOR LINE. Drawn by the Metropolitan Company's, Cleveland, Office The Gazette of Jan. 11, 1930, contained the following local item: The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.'s local agency office in the Columbia building was on Monday paying dividends to white and colored policy-holders who were lined up in separate lines in its office, it is said, and who were not present. This ought to be reported promptly to the company's headquarters in N. Y. City, by the president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch.

Now that the fashions of our own day and generation are trending to the picturesque, those who create our styles are seeking inspiration in the quaint garb of the oft-sung romantic cavalier. The foregoing paragraph is by way of calling attention to the cunning frock which the little girl in this picture is wearing. It features a two-piece, the little blouse-facket styled a la cavalier, which means that the wide belt-at-the-waistline effect with its ripping flare about the hips are "ideas" borrowed from the costume of that romantic character—the gay cavalier. This stylish outfit is fashioned of worsted tweed, in this instance dark red, although brown, green, or navy would have been just as well chosen. As a matter of fact styles reflecting the cavaler influence are stressed both for children and their elders this season, that is wide belts with square buckles, also peplum flares about the hipline, are details highlighted throughout all fashioning. Much time and thought is being given to children's styles nowadays. With the result that unusual effects like the one pictured, are adding new KNITTED COSTUME STRIKING CO THOSE who feel the urge for striking color schemes to sound a joyful note of spring, will do well to let their quest lead them to displays of things knitted. The color studles exploited by the new ensembles either knitted or made of knitted fabric, are fascinating. In fact, knitted modes are everything they should be to satisfy even the most fastidious in point of style and color enchantment, with a third and most desirable quality added, that of dependable wearability. The spring style bulletin announces such nifty, colorful, several-piece knitted creations as the ensemble in the picture. This jacket suit is of knitted and nubbed fabric done in black and white with bright orange for the vestee and the scarf (knotted over one shoulder), also the belt. Modern knitted ensembles are called upon to play a role of many parts. Sometimes as many as six items go to make up the costume complete—skirt, jumper, coat, knucklers, bag and hat, all of companionate design and coloring forming a unit. It is needless to say that with such a comprehensive outfit, one is assured of being sensibly and correctly attired for almost any sports, travel, or motor occasion. One of the latest modes in the knitted realm is the suit whose jacket has a peplum that fares from beneath a belt or from under a set-in girdle according to fancy. Knitted tace tweed made of dalty zephyr captures the fancy of everyone who sees it. Separate sweaters Don't T But Give it zest and novelty to the juvenile mode. Such intriguing ideas as shoulder capes, boleros, and even flaring princess lines, are finding their way into styles for youngsters. Also empire modes are being revived for both old and young, involving high waistlines, short puff sleeves and capetels. Dainty lightweight woolens such as the loose-woven tweed used for the model illustrated, are as enthusiastically exploited for springtime wear for children as for grownups. Two interesting woolens which feature widely in fashions for little folks, are jersey and challis. Lace-stitch jersey is very new and is creating quite a sensation because of its attractiveness. Embroidered jersey makes up hand- somely with plain. Ensembles of chalis fashion the dress of figured, and the coat, jacket or cape, in solid color. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1939. Western Newspaper Union. S MAKE MUCH OF LOR COMBINATIONS TEL FEDER PHOTO are available in these lacy patternings. Entire frocks of knitted lace are also highlights in the new season's showings. These are developed in both the much-talked-of dust pastels and the very bright colors. Very charming ensembles unite a knitted-lace one-piece frock with a jacket or a cape of plain jersey. The dress is intricately banded with the same plain jersey as is used for the wrap. These knitted costumes are ideal for spring, especially when developed in navy blue, for fashionists in Paris are exploiting navy as an outstanding color for spring. The versatility of the knitted mode also expresses itself in machine-knitted 'pullover sweaters, their tweed effects serving as backgrounds for gorgeous hand-embroidered floral designs. Of all the interesting new developments, there is none which is making a more spontaneous appeal than that of the one-piece frock with its matching knitted cape. These are brought out in practical street shades, also in the "baby colorings," which are newly featured this season and which so unmistakably stress the back-to-femininity trend of fashion.

Water, air and acetylene were used in the motor during the trials. The many advantages of the new fuel include lightness, power, quick starting in any weather and the absence of poisonous monoxide gas in the exhaust. FATALITIES ARE NOW ON DECLINE FATALITIES ARE NOW ON DECLINE Decrease in Death of Children Ascribed to Safety Education. Chicago police department statistics just made public show that 166 children under fifteen years of age were killed in motor accidents last year in Chicago, as compared with 207 in 1928, according to a statement issued by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club. Adult fatalities, likewise, were sharply reduced in 1929. The total deaths were 637, as compared with 710 in 1928. Child Fatalities. Charles M. Hayes, president of the motor club, ascribed the decrease in child fatalities to the safety education which is now a part of the regular curriculum in most public, parochial and Lutheran schools, and to the efficient operation of the school boys' safety patrols. "This form of instruction has been in progress for several years, and its benefits are now being reflected in the accident statistics," declared Mr. Hayes. "Early impressions last, in a large degree, through life, and when the fundamentals of safety are stressed to little children we may expect them to walk more carefully during childhood and even to be more careful drivers when they have grown up than the present generation. Boys' Patrol. "Great credit is due the members of the school boys' patrol. Those boys, standing at intersections near schools in rain, snow and cold, are selected for their qualities of leadership, and assist their younger classmates across streets during lulls in the traffic. They have made it possible for hundreds of policemen to be relieved of such assignments and thus available for the more serious but no less important task of preventing crime and catching criminals." Oil Filter Saves Wear on Engine Piston Rings An interesting test, conducted in the California agricultural experiment station with a view to determining the work done by oil filters used on motor car engines, is described in the S. A. E. Journal by Prof. A. H. Hoffman. Two cars, a roadster with delivery body and a coach, were used, the filter being bypassed on the roadster but left to function on the coach. The principal wearing engine parts of both cars were measured and, where feasible, weighed before the test. After each car had been run about 10,000 miles of approximately equivalent use, the machines were sent in and remeasured. The average wear on the piston rings as determined by loss of weight was approximately twice as much on the machine without the filter. The wear on pistons, cylinders, wristpins, crankpins and crankplin bearings was too slight to justify the drawing of any conclusions. Wet Leaves on Streets Are Menace to Motorist Wet leaves on asphalt streets and hoar frost on the boulevard spell disaster to the unwary motorist. "Streets and highways were not always as smooth as they are today," W. J. Cahill, president of the General Tire company of Philadelphia, said recently. "Consequently, smooth-surfaced or worn tires, were not always the menace they are today. "More automobile accidents are caused in cities by unreliable, smooth-tread tires than by bad brakes. "With winter hurrying along, careful motorists everywhere are now discarding their dangerous, worn tires, with smooth treads and are replacing them with safe new tires, with deep non-skid treads that grip and hold to the road." THE MOTOR QUIZ How Many Can You Answer? Q. What is believed to be the world's speed record for motor cycles and by whom and where was it established? Ans. Ernest Henne drove a motor cycle over a one kilometer at Munich recently at an average speed of 134.4 miles an hour. Q. What devices prolong engine life and how? Ans. The air cleaner by removing dust and dirt before it reaches the carburator; the oil filter by removing sludge, dirt and other foreign matter from the oil. Q. What is meant by gear ratio? Ans. The ratio between the speed of the engine and the rear wheels. Thus if the gear ratio is described as 5 to 1 it indicates that for one revolution of the rear wheels the engine turns five, and so on. Q. When was the first arrest made for reckless driving in a self-propelled vehicle? Ans. In 1769, more than 150 years ago, Nicholas Cugnot, a Frenchman, appeared in a racy affair of his own construction and was arrested for speeding at three miles an hour. He was able to attain this speed when the wind was in his favor.

Dora says she isn't at all surprised that England has a motor fatality each year for every 118 motor cars, with everybody driving on the left that way. Because there is more vibration in light cars, there will also be found more loose nuts, bolts, etc. To overcome this condition, it is wise to consider lock washers, split pins and other trouble preventers. The director of the Harvard bureau of traffic research says a good motorist is one who is as courteous on the road as in his home. We should like to know more, though, about the bus driver's home life. Blossom Must Go. Last week, Thursday morning, in a conference with City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, the editor of The Gazette made a strong and vigorous protest against the re-appointment of director of public welfare, Dudley Blossom. When the city manager took office, a few weeks ago, Mr. Blossom's resignation was placed in his hands along with others. City Manager Morgan offered the position to the Hon. Lawrence Norton, a member of the Ohio Legislature from this county, and to at least one other, both of whom refused it doubtless because of the pressure for Blossom's re-appointment being made principally by wealthy friends and others, nearly if not all of whom strenuously opposed the election of the members of the City Council who elected Senator Daniel E. Morgan, city manager. On last Friday afternoon our three councilmen, Messrs. George, Payne, and Bundy, in conference with the City Manager, voiced the unalterable opposition of the great mass of our people of this community to the re-appointment of Director Blossom who is holding office pending the appointment of his successor. Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George were voted for by our people of the third and fourth councilmanic districts with the express understanding that they were first and foremost to use their every effort to bring about the change in manager Wm R. Hopkins and his director of welfare, Dudley Blossom. Hopkins was promptly ousted with their invaluable assistance, and Director Blossom must also go, for good and sufficient reasons, referred to in the following article. His retention in office would mean the loss of the third and in all probability the fourth councilmanic districts to the Republican ticket of this county at this fall's election, for the very reason that there is nothing the City Manager can do at this time that would even in a small degree so alienate the support of our people of this community. BLOSSOM MUST GO! As between the two—Hopkins and Blossom—the latter was far more insulting and contemptuous in his treatment of several delegations of our leading men, and Rev. Horace C. Bailey, who called upon him in connection with the City Hospital connection in which Blossom delivered his diatribes was even more offensive than his insulting talk. Director of Welfare Dudley Blossom tendered his resignation to City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, and MUST go out following his chief, Ex-City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. Far more insulting to our people of this community, who number more than sixty thousand, all Republicans, was this same Dudley Blossom. Far more aggravatingly insulting language, used in addressing several delegations of leading local Afro-Americans who called upon him relative to the unfair discrimination at City Hospital, make him even more objectionable to all of our people of this community than was the former city manager, Color-Line City Hospital Wm. R. Hopkins. Blossom was more opposed to our girls and boys training in that public institution than was Hopkins. We cannot be made to believe that City Manager Daniel E. Morgan will retain Dudley Blossom in his cabinet in any capacity, director of welfare or director of anything else. The following is a copy of a letter sent, Wednesday afternoon, to City Manager Morgan: Cleveland, O., Jan. 29, '30. City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, City.Hall, City. My Dear Mr. Morgan: It may be that you have quite forgotten me, but will recall the writer when remi- ded of the assistance rendered you when a candidate for the council in our ward, many years ago. I am writing you at this time for the purpose of entering a vigorous protest against the reappointment of Dudley Blossom as director of welfare in your cabinet. Last year and the year previous, he so frequently and so grossly insulted members of my race who called upon him in con- nection with the City Hospital controversy, which was happily settled, Monday, Jan. 27, '30, that his reap- pointment would be positively the most aggravating insult you could give all of my people of this com- munity, and for reasons stated and others. Also I wish to say to you that Councilmen Payne, Bundy, Bronstrup and Finkle were elected in the Third District upon the platform of ousting both Hopkins as city manager and Dudley Blossom as welfare director. With no desire to dictate, but only to state the real truth of the situation as far as my people of this community and Dudley Blossom are concerned, and with sincerest best wishes for your official success, I am P. S.—Councilman Clayborne C. George of the Fourth District was re-elected on the platform of ousting Hopkins and Blossom. 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. 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 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 law. In recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damage recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and imending 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 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 Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault 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 is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not to exceed 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, but to be paid 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, and share alike, the widow receiving such sum, and the husband 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 of an intestate. Such sum so received may be distributed to 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 which is injured or killed by such a mob (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, 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 inquire into the case of 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 fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 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 murdered by a person 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 mob may be 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. 183 11). Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the accessions, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than $100 dollars nor more than five hundred dollars 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 people court. The trouble is our people want it often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

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 too many, is all wrong. The sooner we face 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. Subscribe Now
