Sleet, The Crystal Plague Sagging Telephone Wires Heavy with Sleet Telephone Pole Cracks Under Strain Sleet, covering the trees and bushes with a mantle of ice, transforms the landscape into a gleaming fairyland for the casual observer, but to the telephone man it is a crystal plague. Early this year a sleet storm razed hundreds of poles and thousands of miles of wire in the northern and western sections of Ohio. Although not as devastating as the memorable storm of March, 1928, the damage ran high into the thousands of dollars. Cleveland and Toledo were in the path of the storm, but the worst havoc was near Upper Sandusky, Bucyrus, Kenton and Lima. These cities are in a sleet belt. When sleet is present anywhere in Ohio, it seems to concentrate along the western edge of the state. 6 --- M THE GAZETTE Upper Sandusky Isolated Upper Sandusky was completely cut off from the rest of the world for 24 hours after the recent storm. Long distance and rural service failed completely as heavy ice deposits from a half-inch to an inch and a quarter thick sagged wires and snapped poles. About 1,500 new poles, 15,000 feet of cable and four tons of wire were shipped into the storm area for repairs by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Of the 508 rural telephone users around Upper Sandusky, 450 were without service and repairmen were rushed to the scene from Findlay and Fostoria. In many places in the storm area, cable was installed to eliminate open wire construction and the iron wire broken by the sleet was replaced by copper wire, thus improving transmission conditions.

If you came from brilliant stock, you'll be brilliant, no matter if you're crossed from now until eternity. If you came from stupid stock, you will be stupid and your intelligence and driving power do not depend on a native strain or a mixed strain, but on individual makeup and an opportunity to show it. This is the belief of Dr. Melville J. Herskovits, professor of anthropology, Northwestern University, Chicago, who Sunday afternoon gave the second of a series of lectures at the Allen Memorial Library under auspices of the Adult Education Association and the Humboldt Foundation Hundreds turned out to hear Dr. Herskovits speak on "Does Race Make Civilization?" In the beginning (according to Cherokeee Indian legends) the Supreme Being mixed up a mess of dough and fashioned three little figures, all alike, which he placed in a bake oven, Dr. Herskovits related. Impatience began to wear him down as he waited to see the result of his handiwork. Finally he could wait no longer, and he snatched one of the figures from the oven. A look of sorrow spread over his face. The figure amdfortunee half-haked it tossed it aside. Thus the white man got his being. He took out the second. It was beautiful. Delicately browned. It was the Indian. While he was admiring it, the third figure, quite forgotten, burned to a crisp, and thus the Negro came into being. In the beginning (according to African legends)' the Supreme Being gathered together all the black men and put them through a test. He turned on the lightning and the thunder of the natural phenomena, fearful of natural phenomena. Some them blanched with fright and became pale. This was the beginning of the white race. Incidently, Dr. Herskovits pointed out that the red man is not red—he's brown; and the white man is not white—he's pink.

Boston, Mass.—The reported contemplated "jim-crowning" of our Gold Star mothers who will soon make a pilgrimage to the battlefield of France to visit the graves of sons who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War, caused the following from Gov. Frank G. Allen of this state, to be sent to President Hoover: "It has been brought to my attention through recent press notices that the War Department in providing transportation of Gold Star mothers to France during the coming summer, the mothers and widows of Negro soldiers who fell in France are to be segregated from the mothers and widows of our white mothers and the Gold Star mothers thus affected are citizens of Massachusetts. "In view of the fact that our honored dead of both races made the supreme sacrifice and Gold Star mothers, whether white or colored, suffered the same loss. I believe the proposed actions of the War Department, in causing an arbitrary separation, in an ill-advised, unkind and contrary to the ideals of our American Government. "As Governor of Massachusetts, I sincerely hope that the President, as Commander in Chief of the Army, will rescind all orders which in any way establish a color-line in connection with the coming pilgrimage of Gold Star Mothers."

He's Named by Prosecutor as New Assistant PETER J. NORMAN S. MINOR County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller, Democrat, on last week Thursday, named Atty. Norman Selby Minor, a Republican, as the second of two new assistant prosecutors to be appointed in his office, this week. This is so much better than the Republicans have done, to date, this year, there is absolutely no comparison. As a matter of fact, we have not as many prosecutors as from City Manager Daniel "Blossom" Morgan or any of his cabinet (directors). Minor, age 28, has lived in Cleveland 25 years and was graduated from Central High School in 1921. For three years, while there, he was a four-letter man, starring in football, track, basketball and tennis. Norman attended the University of Michigan for four and a half years, worked in the emic work and two and a half years of law. Then he transferred to John Marshall Law School, receiving a law degree in 1927. Since being admitted to the bar he has practiced in Cleveland, officeing for many months with Atty. Tom Fleming, whose "Walter Oehme" trouble has resulted so disastrously to the former councilman Minor is married and lives at 2314 E. 95th St. In announcing his appointment to the Miller Street that Walter L. Brown, for years the leading Afro-American Democrat in the city, in charge of the information desk in the prosecutor's office, had become a deputy sheriff.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS 10,000 HAITIAN YOUTH 10,000 HAITIAN YOUTH READY TO JOIN THEIR ELDERS IN A REVOLT ON APRIL 14, 1930. Leader of Youths' League Warns Hoover Commission Catholic Priests Ask Independence-Native Custom-House Employees Assaulted. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—The Hoo ver investigating commission re- physical violence on native employees at the custom house. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—The Hoover investigating commission received its first concrete plan, March 4, from the Haitian people for remedying their political ills, and rightfully blamed American intervention in the republic's affairs for them. George N. Leger, a native lawyer, of high reputation, recommended that a provisional government be established at the earliest possible moment to rule the country until the election of deputies and senators to the National Assembly. Later the assembly would choose a president. Mr. Leger's recommendations were backed by a warning from Jussem, leader of the League of Haitians, Youth that 10,000 young Haitians would join their olds' revolution on April 14 unless legislative elections were held. Mr. Sam also demanded that President Hoover issue a proclamation ordering the end of the Borno (President) regime. Made Good Impression. Mr. Leger, speaking in English, made a distinct impression on W. Cameron Forbes and the other com- ments. His statement was considered fair and Accusing the American authorities of having aroused race prejudice in Haiti for the first time in its history, he admitted that some material good had come out of the marines' occupation of the little island republic. Roads had been built, sanitary conditions were good and the national garde was well organized, the price paid for Mr. Leger insisted, the price paid for Mr. Leger was realized was beyond its value. Mr. Leger insisted the United States was dominating, instead of helping, Haiti, and termed the choice of Brig. Gen. John H. Russell as American high commissioner "most fortunate." Specifically, he accused Gen. Russell of having made a report stating that the Haitian people had "the mentality of a seven-year-old child." Seeing no possibility of electing a president by a plebisite, because the people were not used to this method, he recommended that the chosen first. Since many complaints had been made against the marines, Mr. Leger believed, since their presence is no longer necessary they ought to be withdrawn at once. With the experts and the American financial adviser, he said, the country was "fed up" and it wanted the adviser's position abolished. The receiver general's office could be maintained until Haitians could take over the work. He also asserted that the "service technique," directing the educational system, had been a failure. It had spent $6,000,000 in nothing of value. Damien University perfumed, "for even if 200 students graduated there would be nothing for them to do." Justin Sam said that "there will be a revolution on election day unless our demands are granted. We are not armed but we prefer to die rather than to accept another dictator. Mr. Sam is a man of influence along with a long-time friend of the student strikes last fall. He was accompanied before the commission by 100 well-dressed and intelligent-looking boys and girls. Catholic Priests Ask Independence Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—The Catholic church in Haiti, representing more than half the people, on March 7 joined federated opposition groups in their movement for independent legislative elections and the end of American occupation. This unprecedented decision was announced to President Hoover's investigating commission by Archbishop Conan when the commissioners paid a visit to the head of the Haitian church. It was revealed that the man who patrolled law, priests are paid by the government and are in a sense its employees. The archbishop told commissioners that the bishops of all the Haitian dioceses after polling the priests in their jurisdiction had decided they could not help but participate in the effort of the people to obtain their freedom from dictatorship and to reestablish popular government. Pointing out that the Haitian clergy were almost entirely foreign-born, he said this fact created a problem that the church, which ought to abstain from participation in politics. But the church "nevertheless takes a profound interest in the well-being of the people." Marc Seide, former secretary to the American customs collector, David P. Johnson, severely criticized the collector before the Hoover ocmission, charging white officials used 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 establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Haitian Crisis Believed Over Port-Au-Prince, March 8—The Hoover Haitian investigation commission to night recommended to President Hoover that a one-man provisional government be appointed to take over the reins of government in Haiti on May 15, when the term of President Louis Borno expires. It was reported on the highest author- President Hoover. ity that President Borno would acquiesce in this plan and co-operate with his successor, who will be a neutral man picked by a group of the people's leaders. The provisional president would remain in office until it was possible to hold popular legislative elections. The assembly then would meet and elect a presidium member to form the commission's recommendation is believed to have solved the present political crisis in Haiti. Brief conferences were held, today, with Brig. Gen John H. Russell, American high commissioner and a final public hearing was held, this morning. Hoover Approves Plan. Hinche, Haiti, March 9.— President Hoover's investigating committee, stopping here for the first night on their trip through inland Haiti, tonight announced that the president had approved their plan for a provisional government in Haiti. The plan so has been personally approved by the president. Boron It includes the ultimate replacement of American military high commissioner, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, by a civilian minister of the diplomatic service after negotiations for a new treaty to replace the present one have been completed. American Occupation to End Slavery President Hoover's approval of the plan was received here this afternoon, and it is believed that his assent has solved the Haitian problem. "SOCIAL EQUALITY." Long Branch, N. J.—Their help did double duty, it seems, at the cottage of Dr. and Mrs. Harold V. Connery, leading whites here, is the allegation and counter allegation of the two. Mrs. Connery, sued by her husband for divorce, alleges that her husband spent many interesting hours in the room of the colored maid, Mrs. Bertha Holmes. Dr. Connery pleaded for his freedom, charging his wife carried on a secret romance with their colored chauffeur, Joseph Mitchell. Her charges were verified by other members of Mrs. Connery's family, who declared that he brought charges that he wished in order to further his social ambitions. Joseph Mitchell doctor related an incident when his wife sat at the piano playing "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby. That's the Only Thing I've Plenty of, Baby." When he attempted to answer the plea, he declared, he received a left hook to the stomach that doubled him up on the floor. Bishop Carey Sued Chicago, Ill.—Rev. Nannie B.

SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930. A group of wealthy white friends have pledged the sum of $5,445 yearly for three years to the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Wm. Rosenwald, a son of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist, led in this movement with a $1000 pledge. The $5,445 yearly for three years may and may not cover the salary of Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, one officer of the organization, but "it will help", we suppose. --- As we have taken the occasion to say on several occasions in the past we repeat now: The Manager Plan of city government as far as Cleveland is concerned should be "junked." It may be a good thing for villages and small towns, but has been a perfect failure as far as Cleveland and other large cities of the country are concerned, since all of them (seventy-seven in number), except Cleveland and Cincinnati, have abandoned the Manager Plan. --- The Illustrated Feature Section which some of our weekly publications are using, is gotten out by the W. B. Ziff Co., "Publishers' Representative", of Chicago. It is supposedly "a co-operative enterprise" but is simply a scheme with which the Jewish firm benefits MOST and uses the circulation of our publications so misguided as to use The Illustrated Feature Section. "Cut it out, brethren!" It seems strange that any of our papers can be so easily duped and taken advantage of CONTEMPTIBLE The nine hundred Afro-American Gold Star mothers are to be sent to France, this year, by the U. S. War Department, in a ship to themselves, from the others in deference to prejudiced southern white Gold Star mothers also scheduled to go to France, it is announced. Governor Frank G. Allen of Massachusetts has sent a strong letter of protest to President Hoover against this rank, gratuitous insult to our Gold Star mothers and the sixty million Afro-Americans they represent. We are not expecting the President to countermand the War Department's order because of his well-known lack of interest in our people, shown on more than one occasion in the last year. It seems that our government, as well as individuals, is determined to impress foreign governments and peoples with its fool-race-prejudice, and to carry it abroad as rapidly as possible. A fine (7) way to treat the mothers of boys who made the supreme sacrifice for this country and world democracy, and too, thousands of miles away from home, in France, during the World War! It seems there is nothing too despicable for prejudiced Americans, particularly southern Americans, to do in order to try to humiliate our people and to lower their status as a class, group or race in the estimation of others at home and abroad. It is now for President Hoover to say whether or not the prejudiced-fool or fools in the U. S. War Department, responsible for this separate ship for Afro-American Gold Star mothers enroute to France, as guests of the American people, are to "get away" with the shameless segregation order or not. If the President does not promptly countermand the order, as we anticipate, it will not be the first time he has shown his lack of interest in and concern for our people whose votes he sought and was glad to get in the last national political campaign and which he will need again and greatly, too, in the next one. TOO MANY OF HIS KIND. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, in trying to defend President Hoover's failure to appoint an Afro-American a member of his Haitian commission, shows exactly the kind of man he is from a race-viewpoint. We have entirely too many of his kind "for the good and welfare" and progress of our people. We have al- ways felt that they are more harmful than the open and avowed enemies (white) of the race because they strike from within., while the others do so from without, and are therefore so much more dangerous and harmful. Since the "color question" is one of the vital points of the whole Haitian tgouble, because the American Occupation introduced a color-line for the first time in Haiti, the presence of an Afro-American as a member of the Haitian commission was really necessary and most important as the future will prove. When the last white president of Howard University, Washington, D.C., was so very insulting in his treatment of Afro-American members of the faculty of that institution a number of the self and race-respecting ones resigned their positions and got out of the institution. Not Kelly Miller, however. He accepted, in order to hang on to his job, thus showing the kind of man he was and apparently still is. President Borno of Haiti, referred to by leading Haitians as the "puppet" of the American Occupation, is another of the kind. And how the Haitians have suffered in recent years from them, and Afro-Americans have suffered in almost every community in this country, and are still sorely hampered, held back, and their vital interests injured by the same kind of "apologists", and worse ("jim-crow Negroes").

SCORES WITHOUT TRICKS The Latest New York "Hit," "The Green Pastures," An "All-Negro" Play—Leading Actors In It. New York City — Marc Connelly's "all-Negro play," "The Green Pastures," at the Mansfield theater, is unique in several ways. It is the first hit this theater has ever had, although the house is something like five years old and a very pretty one. Then the play is constructed along lines that aren't anything like those of the usual Broadway success. There is no love story; there is no intrigue in fact, bag of bad luck. The play is not been opened at all by the dramatist. The play is merely a "Negro" picture of what may be the idea of some "Negroes" as regards heaven and Bible folk. The sincerity, the naturalness of the acting makes it the novelty it is. And yet I wonder how much of a novelty it will be to the colored people, of whom there are 400,000 in Greater New York. Few of New York's "Negroes" are of the "mammmy" and "pappy" type. They are of a new generation, right up to date and fond of jazz. The old adaptation of "Negro" here in this big bus, hustling town. Religion to him isn't a very weighty matter; he has neither time nor inclination to give deep contemplation to the old belief his ancestors fostered down south. The critics here, or most of them, have been raving about "The Green Pastures" to the point of dellrium, and there are many people who will delight in it, merely as a well-acted study of the southern "Negro." While Mr. Connelly is getting all the credit, practically, or not, he has forgotten that the best acting in it is done by Richard B. Harrison as the lord in a Prince Albert coat; Westly Hill, as Gabriel, and Tutt Whitney, as Noah.

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 ruled intuitionality 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 person of the purported character. An act of violence by a mob on the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which 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 persecution or hood 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 five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children, such sum shall be distributed among 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 against such person, if killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) 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 the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case.

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 killer or the victim, or kill 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 THE MAY COMPANY 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.** ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. 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 or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the pro- spective manager of an amusement or 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 facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and 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. THE OHIO BELL TELEPHONE CO.

The Gazette has heard rumors of applicants for city jobs and positions being charged a fee or more by certain city officials, and invites am and all persons who have knowledge and proof of this to call and see the editor on Friday or Saturday afternoons. The rumor going the rounds in this city that there are "two colored nurses" at City hospital is not true. The Gazette is informed. Our people have not as yet received any appointments there, or any of the three alleged to have been promised "The Blossom Triplets." It wouldn't be a bad idea for Congressman Robert Crosser of this city to appear before the Hoover Haitian Commission immediately upon its return to this country. He undoubtedly can tell them some very helpful things. We would suggest to Mr. Crosser that he do so in the interest of humanity and not await a formal invitation from anybody. The County Commissioners, on Wednesday, appointed Miss Mildred Ridley, former stenographer in The Gazette office., a typist in their offices in the new county court house, on the request of Councilman Leroy Cox, former stenographer, a civil service examination for the place, some months ago, standing sixth on the city list and first on the county list.

With a sentence of two years and nine months in the Ohio Pententary at hard labor hanging over his head for thirteen months, we felt and still feel that former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming had been sufficiently punished because he had done far more for Walter L. Oehme, the vice president of the peaceman who prosecuted him, than he had ever done to harm him, and, too, on Oehme's earnest solicitation. We certainly favor former City Treasurer Adam Damm's suggestion of an elective mayor and a councilman for each ward, the latter being residents of their bailiwicks. The manager plan is not only a misfit, but also obsolete when it is remembered that seventy-seven American cities have abandoned it and that, with the exception of Cleveland and Cincinnati, there are no other large cities in the country burdened with it. Mrs. Susie Tolbert gave her mother, Mrs. Jos. Hedges, Central Ave. and E. 31st St., a very enjoyable birthday party, recently.

The mandate ordering him to the pen itentary was delayed for a week, Monday, by the clerk of the state supreme court, pending filing of a motion by his attorney for a rehearing the appeal. The court, last week, upheld the sentence and would have followed, this week, if Fleming's attorneys had not indicated their intention of asking the rehearing. Three young bandits (white) were sentenced to life imprisonment, last week, for participation in the hold-up of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. branch at 8333 Cedar Ave., last December, in which they obtained not a cent of loot and one of their number was seriously wounded by pistol shot. Three bandits and three are Hugo Guensche, age 25, Detroit; David Davies, 28, of Albany, N. Y., and Harry Coulter, 26, of Fordson, Mich. Two months ago they pleaded guilty and were sentenced to from 10 to 20 years. Later it was found that the county prosecutors' office had failed to notify the bandits that they had been incited under the new bank regulations specifies a life term, so it was found necessary to bring them back from the penitentiary for resentencing. Chocolate Hurt in Victory. Tampa, Fla.—Kid Chocolate, Cuba's great little featherweight sensation and champion, decisively outpointed Benny Hall of St. Louis in a ten-round bout at Plant Field here, Wednesday night. Chocolate gave Hall a thorough boxing lesson from start to finish. Chocolate weighed 124% pounds, Hall 124. The fight was little more than a workout for the Cuban, who won every round in an easy fashion. He used his right hand sparingly, due to an injury sustained in training. Afterward Pincho Guiterrez, Chocolate's manager, said the Kid also hurt his left hand, his most effective weapon. As a result, Guiterrez said, Chocolate's included hand in Toronto, March 10, was called off. Woman Candidate for Court Clerk.

The article, prepared by Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, outlines the history, growth and development of the business and the operation and improvement of equipment since Alexander Graham Bell first demonstrated the transmission of the voice by wire in 1876. In illustrating the rapid commercial advances of the telephone industry, Mr. Gifford pointed out that in 1877 there were 2,600 telephones in the United States or one telephone for every 20,000 persons. In 1928 there were 19,341,000 telephones in use in this country, an approximate average of one telephone for every six inhabitants.

Bundy. The Truth: What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, use us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. It is with the keenest regret that The Gazette announces the most reprehensible course our three councilmen, George, Payne and Bundy, have pursued in the "Blossom" controversy which was apparently closed with City Manager Daniel E. Morgan's appointment, on Monday evening, Feb. 17, '30, of Dudley S. Blossom as city welfare director for a time, and of two each. Thruout the campaign, last fall, our people smarting under his insulting and gross mistreatment demanded the ousting of Director Blossom who for more than five years had barred our boys and girls from training in the City Hospital and added to this flagrant and unwarranted denial of our rights and privileges under the law in a public institution, maintained by the tax authority, by excessive blurting out to leading men of the race who called upon him relative to the matter; "No! I am not going to allow Negro boys and girls to train in the City Hospital while I am director." The mandate to oust Director Blossom was given George, Payne and Bundy, particularly, in unmistakable language by our people in their councilmanic districts, last fall. These three councilmen, night after night, day after day, they pleaded with the voters in that section of the city for support of their candidacies reiterated their promise to do all in their power to accede to the demand-mandate of our people whom Dudley Blossom had so grossly mistreated and insulted. They knew that the demand for the outstung of City Manager Hopkins was equalled and surpassed by the outstung of Welfare Director Dudley Blossom. There can be no question as to this. Night after night and day after day in one political meeting after another, they promised the people, if elected, they would carry out this mandate to the letter. How have they done this? Soon after the election of City Manager Daniel E. Morgon, rumors were being circulated to the effect that the outstung of Welfare Director Dudley Blossom for political jobs for some of their supporters, were weakening in their opposition to the appointment of Blossom at the behest of the city manager who desired, with Blossom's appointment, to somewhat appease the opposition of the local Progressive Government bloc with which Blossom was identified and to whose campaign funds he contributed and endeavoring to make the situation clear to the city manager, as far as the masses of our people in this community are concerned, we sent him the following special delivery letter: 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 reminded 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 connection with the City Hospital controversy, which was happily settled, Monday, Jan. 27, '30, that his reappointment would be positively the most aggravating insult you could give all of my people of this community, and for reasons stated and others. Also I wish to say to you that Councilman 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 Yours respectfully, Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette. P. S.—Councilman Clayborne C. George George of the Fourth District was re-elected on the platform of ousting Hopkins and Blossom. H. C. S. On the morning of Jan. 30, '30, the following day, the city manager, thru his private secretary, requested a conference with us at the city hall which was held between 11 and 12 A. M., that Thursday morning. At this conference it early developed, much to my surprise, that the rumors were well founded. Mr. Morgan's fulsome praise of the three "Negro" councilmen, and other things he said in confidence, forced me to give credence to the rumors such as I disliked and didn't want to do so. After hearing my petition to the appointment of Blossom, which I made just as strong as possible and the real conditions warranted, I concluded by saying to him: "You can spit in my face now, Mr. Morgan, and you will not insult me and my people of this community one half as much as you will by appointing Dudley S. Blossom, welfa-friend. He stood a moment as if staggered and then for the third time during our conference asked me to confer with Blossom, adding that he would like very much if I would do so. For the third time, I refused to do so, saying that I did not know Mr. Blossom, but never met him, would not face him if I did. I would face to face, and never wanted to IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND 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 1900 years of universal discrimination and are not discriminating 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 of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; by nature without self-respect and have '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. know the man because for years, by his refusal to permit our boys and girls to train in the City hospital and using insulting language in connection with this refusal, he had held my people up as pariads, and open to the ridicule of thousands of persons of other groups in this community. While the conference was in progress, his secretary said to Mr. Morgan: "Mr. Blossom is outside". Afterthought convinced me that the city manager was so sure that I would be weak enough to confer with Blossom that he had him in the outer office to be called in the moment I consented to a conference with him. This was undoubtedly one of the ways in which the personal opposition to Blossom, on the side of our three councilmen and Rev. Hewlett, was weakened. That it does not waaken contempt for Dudley S. Blossom, upon the part of the masses of our people in this community, needs no assurance from anyone; nor does the fact that Blossom literally wallowed on his stomach, in his pleas to the handful of "Negroes" he and City Manager Morgan conferred with, weaken in the slightest the opposition to Blossom upon the part of the masses of our people here. The unfortunate thing about the whole controversy is that a miserable condition, from a political viewpoint, has been created by the Blossom appointment, with the result that it is going to be mighty difficult, this fall, to get thousands of our intelligent people to rally to the support of a publican ticket. This will jeopardize the City Manager Daniel E. Morgan must and will be held responsible. Strong resentment as a result of the Blossom appointment is sure to manifest itself at that time. The following day, Jan. 31, '30, at a conference in the Gazette office, participated in by our three councilmen and the editor, the Blossom appointment matter was gone into thoroly, especially George Payne and Bundy, especially Mattie Payne, admitted the "mandate" from our people of their districts to oust Blossom, and George announced a conference THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930. 469 12 26 of the three with the city manager on the Blossom matter at 4:30 P. M. that day, Payne and Bundy also indicating that they were to hold a conference with Blossom, that afternoon. The conference with the city manager, according to Councilman that day, Payne and Bundy on the part of Mr. Morgan for acquiescence in the appointment of Blossom. Following this, the city manager and Bossom began conferences with several other members of the race, the most notable being Rev Horace C. Bailey, who, he says, only agreed to discontinue opposition to the appointment of Blossom. That was too much. It was to Dr. Bailey to Blossom. Blossom was postulating on occasions when the former went to the latter asking the admission of his granddaughter to the City hospital nurses' training school. Both Hopkins and Blossom turned him (Bailey) down flat, on more than one occasion. We well remember that after one of Dr. Bailey's distressing visits to Blossom, his distressful experience—insults and coarse mistreatment. The rectal was enough to bring tears to one's eyes. From Jan. 29, '30 until this week inclusive, scores of letters from individuals and resolutions from various local organizations of color have been sent by our people and our organizations as Morgan protesting as vigorously as the appointment of Blossom. The announcement in a number of our churches, Sunday, Feb. 16, that a at Triedstone Baptist church, Sunday, Feb. 23, at 3 p. m., undoubtedly precipitated the appointment of Blossom which was hurriedly made, Monday evening, Feb. 17, '30, as stated. During the morning of that day, the city manager thrush a city official who held a conference with George, Payne and Bundy, late Monday afternoon, "checked up" on our three members of the city council, who were very vicious, vorable from his viewpoint because the Blossom appointment followed soon after, that same evening. After the "check up" meeting, Councilmen George and Rev. Horace C. Balley came to The Gazette office. The former, as usual, being very reticent whenever the Blossom appointment was mentioned, which of course, convinces me now that he as well as his two colleagues are guilty, as a shady man, of being a bad day, just before noon. Councilman Bundy came to The Gazette office and after a few minutes' conversation left with the statement ringing in his ears, that he was a one-term councilman; that the people of his district would see to his, next year, beyond a shadow of a doubt. It was suggested to Mr. George, the evening before, that in the probability he was involved in the city council, men for the very same reason. Our thinking, sensible, self-respecting voters of the third and fourth councilman districts will hardly continue, as members of the city council, men of our or any other class who will hold so lightly a mandate from their constituents to oust a public official whose City hospital Klu Klan activities made him a "stench in their nostrils". City Manager Daniel E. Morgan claims that our three members of the city council, men of Bundy, "waived" their opposition to the appointment of Dudley Blossom. The "waiving" decision undoubtedly was concluded at the "check-up" meeting, late Monday afternoon. What a "waiving" it will be, next year in the fall time, when these three "worthies" seek re-election, if all of them last that long! It sure will be an event worth going miles to see, and our city manager will not be forgotten, either, when the three "worthies" appear. About Dudley Blossom said a delegation of our people who called upon him, last year, and protested against the growing segregation in city departments, particularly the City hospital, is very true. It is this: "When you people can impress the people of this community that you are worthy of more consideration, you will get it, and not until then." This explains in a few words why we failed to secure the ousting of individual (Blossom) — our people's representatives in the council—not asked by the council, in which impress City Manager Daniel E. Morgan with their unalterable opposition to the appointment of Dudley Blossom. Instead, they "waived" their opposition, not ours, and Manager Morgan knows this. His promptness in the office of the city Civil Service commission, another in that of the city treasury, and the third in the city clerk's office, does not in the slightest atone for the miserable insult he has given us in re-appointing Dudley Blossom as welfare director, in the face of all of our prosecution, in the face of means far more to us than jobs, large or small, few or many, Mr. Morgan! Harry C. Smith. Subscribe NOW! Rev. Horace C. Bailey. It seems strange, possibly, to some, but it is nevertheless true that no one has ever been able to mix religion and politics—oil and water! So it is not strange that Rev. Horace C. Bailey has failed, this time. It was Rev. Russell S. Brown who made a like failure, last fall. Director Dudley S. Blossom treated Bailey contemptuously, last year, when the latter called on him in an effort to secure the entrance of his grand-daughter to the nurses training winding up at City Hospital, winding up the conference with that most insulting statement that is all but seared in the very marrow of the bones of our people of this community: "No, I am not going to allow Negro girls and boys to train at City Hospital while I am director." And yet, in recent weeks Dud. Blossom coaxed Bailey to his office and so "soft-soaped" him that the latter "withdrew his opposition" to the former's re-appointment as welfare officer of City Hospital he told the editor of The Gazette, Monday, Feb. 17, in The Gazette office. "Can you beat it?" It is now "The Blossom Twins"—Bailey and Blossom. LORD HAVE MERCY! Wonder if Director Blossom was re-appointed by City Manager Daniel E. Morgan for the purpose of keeping our boys and girls from training at City Hospital! Don't it look very much like it? "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" And City Manager Daniel E. Morgan to the Campa- gulaf, Next Year. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—After reading carefully The Gazette of Feb. 22, '30, I desire to say that I am in hearty sympathy with you and therefore am laying my copy for use for reflection during the campaign when I hope to be actively engaged with you and others reminding the people of the third and fourth districts of Councilmen LeRoy N. Bundy, Lawrence O. Payne and Clayborne George's shameless refusal to obey the mandate of our people of those districts and the entire city, given them, last fall, during the campaign, to do all power to help oust City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, as well as City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. There are hundreds, yes, thousands of our people in this section of the city who will not overlook or forgive their flagrant disregard of their clear duty in this matter. I expect to be actively engaged with the municipality next in case they have the temerity to stand for re-election to the City of Cleveland. I want you to know that I also shall not forget City Manager Daniel E. Morgan's disapproval of the Finkle ordinance, passed by the City Council, to award Garret A. Morgan the pittance of $2000 for the heroic service he gave this city at its officials' request at the time of the tunnel letter in 1973. This last reprehensible act is but little less offensive than his appointment of Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom in the face of the letters and resolution protests of the loyal, self and race-respecting members of the race in this community. In conclusion, I wish to assure you that there are thousands of our people in this community that thorouly appreciate the honesty, fearlessness and loyalty of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Mrs. Boston J. Prince, (Wife of the Pastor of Messiah Baptist Church, E. 46th and Woodland Ave., City.) "The Humble But Blood-Seeking Red-Bug." The following excerpt, from the Cincinnati (O.) Union, of Feb. 20, 1930. Wendell Phillips Dabney, editor, is so pertinent and self-explanatory that comment is unnecessary unless it is to say that personal and racial experience with similar problems in the former "Queen City of the West" have placed Editor Dabney in a position to "know whereof he speaks" when he writes as follows: When the Honorable Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, throws bouquets at anyone, that individual comes very near deserving them. We appreciate his kindly sentiments, for no one exceeds Harry in loyalty of race, strength of courage, courage, as a matter of fact, that gentleman has me far outclassed in vigor of statement, regardless of consequences. Where I use a hammer for knocking purposes, Harry uses an axe. Sympathy has little space in his system. He does not believe that "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return. He places enemies of the race at the center of the humanood-seeking bed-bug who the only safe rule is—extermination. He, backed by thousands of citizens, is fighting A. against the retention of a charterite who favors segregation. Jim-crowism has always had a hard time in Cleveland. The gentleman now in question, Mr. Dudley Blossom, director of Public Welfare, was as strong for a Negro hospital as he was opposed to Negro hospitals in the City Hospital! Many of the colored doctors from the South, led by Dr. Gregg, were working hard for a subsidized, segregated institution. In the recent election, the colored people arose, united with the Republican party and elected three colored councilmen! That sounded the death knell of the Negro hospital! Prior to that time, the Honorable Mr. Blossom, filled with high blood pressure from "Delirium of Grandeur," said to a colored delegation, "No, I am not going to allow Negro boys and girls to train in the City Hospital." "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS". It does not seem possible that three persons, candidates for office in quest of votes, could possibly go through several weeks of campaigning, day and night pledging the voters that, if elected, they would do all in their power to oust a man from office who had denied them and their people, of all the population of a great city like Cleveland, rights and privileges (in a public institution) in a most insulting manner, and then fail to do so, with victory in their hands—only dependent upon their keeping their pledge to the people who elected them. And yet that is exactly what Councilmen Clayborne George, Leroy Bundy and Lawrence Payne did in the case of City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, when on Monday, Feb. 17, '30, they "waived their opposition",—not ours—and City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, knowing the condition of affairs theroly, so fragrantly insulted all of our loyal, self and respect all of our people, in this city by appointing Blossom, city welfare director. All three councilmen, in a conference with the editor of The Gazette about ten days previous to Feb. 17, "freely admitted they had a "mawided" from our people of their districts to oust Blossom from office for his most miserable treatment of them. The statement that "Manager Morgan would have appointed him, anyhow" is not true. That fact he made clear in a conference with the editor of this paper. And even if it were true, which was not the case, even that would not excuse them for breaking their pledge to our people of their districts and all the rest of the city, because when they "waived" their opposition to Blossom, they were not keeping but breaking their pledge and ignoring the people and the pledge they so often and so loudly proclaimed, day and night, in public meetings during last fall's campaign. It is an unpardonable act for which Bundy, Payne and George will be made to atone, if they dare to face the electorate of their districts again, next year, seeking re-election. Our people of this community had a somewhat similar experience in the case of Councilman E. J. Gregg upon whom they visited a stinging defeat at the polls, last fall, because of his sad exhibition of disloyalty when he voted for a white Democrat in preference to one of his own people. Our people, especially the intelligent ones, will not condone such flagrant disloyalty, to the race, in their public servants, especially those of color. They have to work too hard to elect them to office to quietly submit to such shameless mistreatment, and Councilman Payne, Bundy and George will be made to recognize this fact, next year in the fall, should they stand again as candidates. Nor will our city manager be forgotten when the opportunity affords.

And "The Blossom Triplets" Desnounced in Mass Meeting—Strong Resolutions. In spite of the inclement weather, the mass meeting at Quinn A. M. E church, E. 130th St., Sunday, March 2:30, was a success in point of attendance as well as enthusiasm. J. W. Minor presided and introduced the speakers: Dr. James K. Nickens, Mr. Emmett Meade, Hon. Harry C. McGee, Dr. James K. Nickens, the church and Roy S. Rector, presls PETER H. DE. MORGAN dent of the Laymen's League. Music and prayer opened the meeting. The miserable course pursued by our three councilmen, George, Bundy and Payne, "The Blossom Triplets", in the Morgan-Blossom re-appointment matter was thoroly discussed by the speaker and many strong points to emphasize the influence she statements with most hearty applause. At the conclusion of the speaking, the following protest resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, Dudley S. Blossom, as Director of Welfare, not only led in encouraging a jim-crow hospital in encouraging a warrior hospital and girls from training in the City hospital, but was so aggravatingly insulting in his personal contact with Rev. Horace C. Bailley and several 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 Dr. Bailey: "No, I am not going to allow Negro boys girls to train at City hospital," and WHEREAS, by letters, resolutions and personal conferences, City Manager Daniel E. Morgan was made fully acquainted with this deplorable condition which Blossom alone created, as far as our people are concerned, and yet in the face of this fact has seen it to ignore it and our people and reappointed Dudley S. Blossom, director of the city of Cleveland, and WHEREAS, our three councilmen, Messrs. George, Bundy and Payne, have seen it to ignore the mandate of our people of their districts (given them last fall during the campaign when they were seeking our votes) to do all in their power to oust said Dudley S. Blossom, city welfare director, therefore be it, RESOLVED, that this mass meeting, assembled in Quinn A. M. E. Chrysler in this date, March 2, 1930, censures the town and our three councilmen for the insulting reappointment of Blossom. RESOLVED, that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the local daily and weekly newspapers, the city manager and our three one-term councilmen, George, Payne and Bundy. A Curse Thruout Administration. Madison, N, J., Mar, 2, '30. Hon. Mary C. Murray. Editor Gayle Gareth, O. Honored and Dear Sir:—This is for information: Is there no way to enjoin, offset and upset the reappointment of Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom by Cleveland's City Manager D. E. Morgan? Could you appeal for a referendum, or a recall of the appointment? As for the "waivers of their opposition" of George, Bundy and Payne, must the people wait a whole year to voice their disapproval of the unmany reappointments' vision? I don't know why, but when I read in The Chicago Defender of the honor given Rev. Horace C. Bailley, I wondered how long it would If you're fat—remove the cause!

I am not surprised at Bundy, Payne and George, if they are true to their photos in The Gazette. I want to commend your steadfast refusal to confer with Blossom. That is where "the white man" gets the Negro—in private conference with the African-American "Negro," and he is hobbled to fit the white man's program!!! I note your criticism of Revs. Bailey and Brown anent mixing politics with religion. Bishop Carey, though applauded by thousands, also failed. Why? They make religion subordinate to politics. Their religion is water; and oil, you know, always comes to top! But reverse the method, make religion the oil—proportion 5 to 1 and a religious politician can be used to criticize the city's benefit, and welfare of the race; and that means you. You are a Christian believer—? and a politician—? I want to thank you for your manly expression to City Manager Morgan: "You can spit in my face now, but the insult will not be half as much (to me or my people of this community) as will be the appointment of Dudley Blossom of our words breasted.
