Metropolitan Opera Comes To Cleveland May 5 to 10 M The idea that American singers are without honor in their own country has received another jolt with the success of Gladys Swarthout, Metropolitan Opera star who will appear at Public Hall during the Met's seventh Cleveland opera season. Gladys Swarthout, born in Kansas City, the town of Marion Talley, made her debut in grand opera recently, in New York. Some of the most famous members of the Metropolitan are American-born. Included in this personnel are Rosa Ponselle, Leonora Corona, Lawrence Tibbett, Queena Mario, Frederick Jagel, Nanette Gullford, Louise Lerch, Char. Chatterjee, and All of them as well as the distinguished list of foreign-born singers now with the Metropolitan, will be here the week of May 5 to May 10 when Cleveland and all Ohio will hear eight wonderful performances.

E. Wilson Nowhere within a radius of 400 miles can these stars be heard in opera because of the terms of the contract signed when Cleveland decided four years ago to have opera festivals under civic auspices. Gladys Swartwhout will be heard in "Cavalleria Rusticana," part of a double billing for the Wednesday performance, and in "La Gloconda," and in "Cavalleria Rusticana." Cleveland's favorite operatic star will have the leading role in "La Gloconda," the opening opera, and in "Cavalleria Rusticana." Special arrangements have been made by the Northern Ohio Opera Association for school students to hear "Carmen," at the Friday matinee.

C.—Neval H. Thomas, age 58, president of the District of Columbia branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and for 29 years history teacher in Dunbar High school here, died, Sunday, at his home after about a year's illness. Some months ago Prof. Thomas vacationed in Bremen, then at Hot Springs, Ark. for the fit of his health, but apparently in vain. He was born in Springfield, O. attended high school in Cleveland, and attended Dennison University in Central Ohio, finishing here at Howard University, specializing in foreign history. Prof. Thomas had lecured in this country and in Europe and wrote many fine articles in newspapers, pleading the cause of the race. Until illness cut short his active career, he was the most successful and outstanding official of the N. A. A. C. P., accomplishing more for our people here at the nation's capital in about a year than all other individuals, agencies, etc., combining in twenty years, Mr. Dennison's desire to create a most factor in the battle for race progress. He is survived by a brother, H. E. Thomas of Cleveland, and Mrs. Chester K. Gillespie of that city, a niece. DOINGS OF THE RACE. M. Akleid Delmont, colored deputy from Manitouine, is again under-secretary of state for the colonies in the French cabinet of the Tardieu government. Elijah Hayes, age 53, an "Uncle Tom," of Columbia, Mo., left his sisters and two brothers one dollar each, and willed his $900 estate to his white employers who buried him, recently. Ormond, Fla. has elected Isaac H. Sawyer mayor. The town, six miles from Daytona, has 348 registered Afro-American voters which were the balance of power. Sawyer hails from Massachusetts. There is a concerted movement upon the part of prejudiced persons throughout the South, particularly, and in many places in the North, to secure the jobs as U. S. census enumerators held by our people for their men and women. Bernard Saunders, the only Afro-American U. S. census enumerator for the rural section of New Castle County, Delaware, was dismissed, last week, (under the Hoover administration), because of a protest from a "man" whose wife (white) objected to answering his questions, as enumerator. What is said to be the first verdict in the South, carrying with it the death penalty against a white man for killing a "Negro," was recently returned by a New Orleans jury against Charles Guerant, former emergency policeman who shot and killed Hattie McCray, age 14, who resisted his advances. Congressman Oscar DePriest was triumphantly re-nominated and Municipal Judge Albert B. George was defended for re-election at the primaries in Chicago, last week Tuesday, re-nominated. Likewise, Representatives Chris Griffin, Geo. Blackwell, Wm. E. King, Alonzo Tansil, Wm A. Warfield and Miss Josephine Perry, All of Chicago. Thomas F. Manville, Jr. and Francis S. Barnes, both white and wealthy, are in New York courts suing their wives for divorce and charging them with more or less intimacy with men of color. At Danbury, N. C. Wm. Duggins, young Afro-American, "almost white," was sentenced jail for eighteen months for marriages to white women. She was sent home to her father where she is expected to give birth to a child soon. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SHOULD BE REJECTED UNLESS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WISHES DEFEAT IN THE NEXT NATIONAL CONTEST. The Democratic Party and the South Are Rotten and the Republican Party Little Better, Says Dr. Byrd That Pullman Porter Georgia Lynching. (Special to The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.—The U. S. Senate should reject the name of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina as one of the judges of the U. S. Supreme Court. Mr. Parker is anti-Negro besides anti in many other things. His attitude, expressed toward the colored race when he was running for office indicates the man. He did not want to be elected governor of North Carolina if he had to come through Negro votes. He pandered to the rankest southern sentiment in his canvass for the position. The Republican party seems to be alarmed because of the wholesale protests coming into the Senate because of Judge Parker's Negro bias and it is reported that pressure is being brought to sidetrack Judge Parker in order to hold Negro votes in doubtful states. The party wants to be better than Judge Parker in its red sentiment towards Negroes. The more education, property, in intelligence and prestige Negroes acquire the more the Republican party robs him of participating in party benefits. It wants him to ride into office on, and after getting in, it slams the door of advancement in his face. The Republican party as now operated is no more like the Democratic party than chalk is like cheese. The attitude of the south and the Ku Klux Republicans in the north, that Negroes should not hold office, is now the attitude of the Republican party. From the day the late President Taft entered the White House, Negroes have been gradually driven out of public office. Negroes can defeat the Republican party in its senatorial election this year. Just as protesters are should protests in against every man running for a senatorship who is unfair in spirit toward Negroes. The breaking up of the solid south so far as the voting place of Negroes, may mean the breaking up of the Republican party if it does not swing back to "Lincoln principles". The party by its policy of ignoring Negroes is destined to lose the old states of the Democratic and the Democratic states of twenty-five years ago; it is time now that Negroes organize and vote for their own interest. So long as the south controls the Democratic party just so long will self-respecting Negroes remain out of it, nationally. If Mr. Raskob will lead the Democratic party into absolute fairness and square-dealing with the Negroes, the defection of the south will not hurt him but will strengthen the Negro desires to aid himself, let him stand of absolute independence. Let his vote in Novembers tell the story. The south is a rotten hole. It is boastingly anti-Negro, and hypocritically prohibition and dry. The safe thing for the Negro to do is to be where the south is not. Let it be known now that as slavery was fought because of damning influence, so the south will again be fought because of hypocritically harmful can and political bias. The shibboleth is, "The South Must be shibboleth" to Do this, the panhandling Negro with his "inferiority complex" must be fought harder than the south because he is the enemy inside of the camp. The Railroads and Pullman Co. The railroads and Pullman Porter. The lynching of the Pullman porter by a mob in Georgia, under circumstances so suspicious that others will not allow it, should for all Negroes everywhere to join now in making a fight to make the like occurrence impossible in the future and if it does happen the penalty will be so great that it will deter even the savages of Georgia from attempting it. The railroads of the country are responsible for their passengers and crews. They and The Pullman Company are directly responsible for this murder. They may not have participated in it, but they are not the only people who understand that in the South savage "crackers" can do what they please to Negro porters or passengers. Many of these railroads employ the meanst and most despicable white southerners as conductors. They will conveniently go to sleep to allow southern "crackers" to do anything they please. The railroads can protect their help. If they cannot protect them, then don't send them into savage barbarism. The Indian authorities should act now. America should cover its face in shame when it attempts to make other places safe for life and liberty when at home there THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Where were the train conductor and the flaerman when that train pulled out? What was the purpose of its stopping and what did the train crew do while the train was at a stand-still? How did the conductor and engineer get the word that the train must stop at this place? If there was collusion in the death of this porter the world must know it. Federal Government is duty bound to give federal protection to Inter-State passengers and Inter-State train crews. Let us fight this evil that makes possible such a tragedy. To do so let every one line up behind the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Rev. William A. Byrd. KILLS HOOVER PLAN IN "BLEEDING" HAITI President Borno Adjourns Council "American Occupation" Treachery Behind the Act. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, April 13.—The election of a temporary president for Haiti tomorrow was balked, today, by the adjournment of the Council of State on order of President Luis Borno, the American Occupation's slave. The situation prevents the Council from electing the Hon. Eugene Roy, alleged compromise choice of Borno and President Hoover's Haitian Commission which was here in recent weeks, the president has prevented the election because he cannot control the Council. As the situation now stands, President Borno will be out of office, May 15, and his successor must be elected before that date. If the present Council continues adjourned Borno can appoint enough new members to assure the election of himself or whomever he and his masters, the American Occupation, may want. Borno's action was taken, because the majority of the Council of 21 would not go back on their agreement to support the new government plan given Haiti by the Hoover investigating commission and name a president other than Roy, who was its choice. A Good Story. A Baltimore correspondent, Charles Brandt, revives the story about Mr. Goldberg who went to his janitor and growned: "Unless you give more heat I'm going to have you fired!" The janitor restorted: "Go ahead, but I'm not going to quit until I've kissed every woman in the building, and I've necked them all but one!" Mr. Goldberg hastened back to Mr. Goldberg and repeated the janitor's flip trick. "You don't say!' gasped Mrs. Goldberg between titters. 'I'll bet it is that stuck up Mrs. Clancy!'" Mr. and Mrs. Eldrirdge Shepherd, formerly of Boston, have moved oily to Mrs. Luther Highsmith's 23-acre farm, off state road, where they will erect a roadhouse. Mrs. Shepherd is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music. 2 One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

While we do not approve of the Communists' "strong-arm methods" (taking the law into their own hands), we cannot help but admire their stand in preferring to serve jail sentences rather than pay the Chapin restaurant proprietor for the damage they did in his place because of his illegal refusal to serve members (of both races) of their organization. The Communists' "strong-arm methods" and Chapin's refusal of service in his public place of business were both "without the law." --- Dr. James E. Shepherd of Durham, president of the North Carolina college for "Negroes", endorses President Hoover's appointment of Judge J. J. Parker of that state to the U. S. Supreme Court, in spite of the fact that Parker is opposed to "Negroes" participation in politics. This is so much like Prof. Kelley Miller's "apology" for the President's failure to appoint an Afro-American member of his Haitian commission that the two ought to be known as "Uncle Toms". May the good Lord save our people from the "jim-crow Negro" as well as from our other enemies! The former are really the more harmful to the race. "THE TRIPLETS" IN BAD. With Councilmen Payne and the Flemings, (Lethia and Tom) squared away for a battle royal for the Republican leadership of ward 11, and Councilmen Bundy and George bitterly opposed by both white and colored constituents in their home wards, the battle to oust "The Blossom Triplets", next year, has started already, according to Sunday's News, which quotes Bundy as saying in his speech at a recent ward meeting: "In the past, we have had leaders who have not only misrepresented us but who have exploited us as well". The foregoing is not half strong enough to fit "The Blossom Triplets", of which he is one. The News, evidently poking fun at Bundy, also said in its Sunday article: "Bundy is a powerful orator." All of which is very, VERY amusing. While Sunday's "News" kidded the two "triplets" named, Wednesday evening's "Press" was doing the same thing for the other one, Councilman Payne, who, it says, has donned his war paint and also started after Tom and Lethia Fleming's political scalps. What a wonderful time "The Triplets" are galloping into and what a trimming they will get next year, in the fall time! THAT PARKER APPOINTMENT. Dispatches from the nation's capital, late last week, announced "that President Hoover will stand firm on his nomination of Judge John H. Parker of North Carolina to be a member of the U. S. Supreme Court." Regardless of his "disputed labor decision," Judge Parker has shown that he does not believe in all citizens exercising their rights and privileges under the law and that he believes in limiting the political rights and privileges of the Afro-American. That belief alone makes him unfit for membership in the U. S. Supreme Court, this country's highest legal tribunal and possibly the most important of the three coordinate branches of this government, executive, legislative and judicial. If the dispatches from Washington, D. C., last week, carry the truth as to the President's decision in the Parker appointment matter, it does not surprise those who have watched the trend of the Hoover administration in other matters of racial concern, as far as we are affected. The President has been consistent, thus far, in following a course that shows recognition of the color-line in all matters which concern his race or group of people and their interests. He appointed Judge Parker in order to please the prejudiced white South, both Democratic and Republican. His administration "jim-crows" our "Gold Star Mothers," sending them to France in two ships separate and apart from all the other "Gold Star Mothers" who are to make that itinerary. Indeed, this color-line subordination of the Afro-American was in evidence at the last national Republican convention, and too, before Hoover's nomination, showing even at that time what the policy of the Hoover administration was to be as far as our people were concerned. If Afro-American voters were like those of any other class or group in this country, there would be absolutely no question as to the result of the next national contest, as far as the Republican party is concerned with President Hoover a candidate for reelection. It seems that there is nothing that can possibly be done by Republican leaders that will cause a sufficient number of our people to strike back to entitle them to the respect and recognition so potent a factor of the party as ours is and always has been entitled to. And we say this, too, as a life-long Republican, but not a hide-bound one, as too many, for the good and welfare of the race, still persist in being. "HE SHOULD WORRY!" Two colored and one white Communist went into Chapin's restaurant, 220 W. Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., several weeks ago, and were refused service. Judge Alva R. Corlett of the Municipal Court, in summing up the case against them and eight other Communists for "cleaning out" the restaurant (destroying dishes, etc.), is said by local daily newspapers to have asked the Communists who sought the service: Why do you go into a place where you know you are not wanted? First, we desire to say that we do not believe Judge Corlett ever asked any such foolish question, but are inclined to think that the newspaper reporters put those words in the judge's mouth, in publishing their reports of the affair. Such a question would positively be silly, because a citizen has a legal right to service in all public places. Whether he is wanted in them, or not, is not and should not be of any concern to him. What he wants and has a legal right to is of concern to him. Whether the proprietor' or others, want him in their places or not, we repeat, is not to be considered, nor is it worthy of consideration for a single moment. Judge Corlett knows and understands this thorny, but the reporters apparently do not, or are purposefully ignoring the facts stated. NEVAL H. THOMAS. The information, the first of the week, of the death of our long-time and very good friend, Neval H. Thomas of Washington, D. C., hurt Not only because we have been friends ever since his youth, but principally because of the great loss to the race of an exceptionally aggressive, able and successful advocate, Neval H. Thomas, while health permitted in the last few years, was decidedly the most active and successful leader in the N. A. A. C. P. As president of the District of Columbia branch of that organization, he led fights for race privileges and rights that notted results such as no other leader has been able to secure to our people in years. His illness and death have left us absolutely leaderless at the nation's capital, and the N. A. A. C. P. has no one fit and capable of filling his place. Indeed, it is going to be difficult to find such a person anywhere in this country, so exceptional a character as a leader was Neval H. Thomas; absolutely fearless, perfectly willing at all times to make any personal sacrifice to promote the interests of his people, thoroly able and loyal! Where can his like be found? His passing leaves an aching void. It is a tremendous loss to the race, not only of Washington, D. C., but the entire country. And the N. A. A. C. P. loses far and away its most active and successful leader. JOIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Our young local contemporary has gone over to the Democratic party, "hook, line and sinker," it seems. Read the "following, from its issue of April 12, 2010: "Thirteen enthusiastic young men met at the office of Dr. F. H. Hendricks, two weeks ago and talked over plans for the formation of a young men's democratic club. On last Friday these men met again at the same place and organized, called the Hoover Democratic Club. Two or three men from Cleary land had never heard of a local Democratic club among our people. It was more than a disgrace to be a Democrat. Since certain drives have been launched in behalf of the Democratic organization, colored Democrats have been very popular, and even prominenticans are talking of joining the ranks—The Call-Post. Trow. or As a brother, recent friends "down home," has it, "Dawn." Our young friend is wrong; where was "a local Democratic club among our people" here THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1930 in Cleveland long before he stopped wearing "dydies" down in "the Old Dominion" (Virginia). There is, too, some question as to the correctness of the young man's "popular" statement in the foregoing. And as for "prominent Republicans joining the ranks" of the party of U. S. Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina, Tom Hefflin of Alabama, Pat Harrison of Mississippi and their kidney, heaven forbid. That would be "jumping from the frying pan into the fire." We can "see" an Afro-American member of almqst any political party except the Democratic party and we have done all in our power for more than forty years to encourage independence of thought and political action; but can never advocate joining the Democratic party which is controlled by the South. We can understand the support, at times, of friendly northern Democrats, in state, county, city and village elections. But only in extreme cases—where the provocation is so great and of such vital racial interest—could we think of supporting Democrats for federal elective positions—electors and members of the Congress. Never can we advocate joining the Blease, Heflin, Harrison outfit. PRAISES THE WORK OF DR. F. W. WALZ Laymen's League Welcomes Him as Guest of Honor—City Hospital Nurses' Training School. Comcilman F. W. Walz was guest of honor, Sunday evening, at a large meeting of the Laymen's League of Cuyahoga County at the Cedar "Y." He was presented a fine leather pocket-book and card case and praised for his successful efforts to open City Hospital also to our nurses and interns. Atty. J. M. Williams made an excellent presentation which stressed the importance of better training and condition. He was introduced by Herbert L. Taylor, the permanent chairman of the meeting who was in turn introduced by the president of the league, Roy S. Rector, temporary chairman. Rev. McFering opened the meeting with prayer. Following his acceptance of the gift, which he said was the first such recognition of public services he had received and which he most highly valued of the kindly friend training its bestowal. Dr. Walz delivered one of the most interesting addresses on the "stewardship" of Ex-City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins; the extension of the city lighting plant and kindred subjects, any good cizen would wish to hear. During the course of his remarks, the man Walz called attention to the fact that applications for the training school must be filed in May. next month. So pass the word along, particularly to Miss Patrick, Rev. Horton "Blossom" Bailey's "motherless grand-daughter," who was seeking entrance to the school, last year, when her grandfather was repelled by Director Dudley B. Slosson, who said to him, so should apply. Negroes in the training school were trained. The same I am Doctor, and this same Blossom was reapplied director, some weeks ago, by City Manager, some weeks, over the united protests of our people, with the consent of Bailey and "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman George, Payne and Bundy). Lord, have mercy! by the conclusion of Dr. Walz's very address which he very frequently applauded the Hon. Harry C. Smith was introduced, Chairman Taylor reminding the large audience that it was Editor Smith and "The Old Reliable" Gazette that started and led the fight for several years to open City Hospital for the training also of our boys and girls, and to keep Councilman E. J. Greeg and other local "jim-crow" hospital advocates from continuing the work applauded the Hon. Harry C. Smith was introduced, Chairman Taylor reminding the large audience that it was Editor Smith and "The Old Reliable" Gazette that started and led the fight for several years to open City Hospital for the training also of our boys and girls, and to keep Councilman George, Payne and Bundy. "The Triplets" for their refusal to secure the ouster of City Welfare Director Dudley B. Slosson, something the three councilmen had pledged themselves before continuing the work applauded the Hon. Harry C. Smith was introduced, Chairman Walz, whom he had known well for more than thirty years, met a most responsive chord in the hearts of all present and the doctor was urged by the League to return for another address at an early date. Subscribe NOW! YOU KNOW ME. AL Maybe you read in the papers where Kid Dugan has got a Chicago gun for a bodyguard now which was his own idea. This here guy has got me scared to death because he is always polishing up his gun and even if it is only two-three-calibration, it might hurt somebody and beheaded he talks and walks in his sleep. I never liked no gun snares that time you shot me in the chest with a soft strawberry when we was kids and I thought I was a goner. Somebody was telling me the other day that the write of this here gun makes him look like a crabby and takes his gun away from him and uses it for a fan. Well, all I can say is I walthed she'd come down here and be my bodyguard. This guy need he needs target practice any day and start on live birds. Well, AL, excuse the long letter.

You know me 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 mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the conspiracy nationality 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 (Kentucks) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years like Virginia 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. Damages 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 intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of Section 6279. The term "lynching 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 assault is made, or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. Section 6282.

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 (Kentucks) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: IBS. 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.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12).

Leader, Mrs. Ora Wise; "Booze en Dormi", a poem by Victor Hugo and the biblical reference of the poem from the book of Ruth was read in French by Miss Grace Lomax. This poem was selected as an illustration of French poetry of the romantic period. The meeting, this week Wednesday evening, was held at Miss Helen Thomas', E. 40th St. The discussion included poems of Lamartine and those of Alfred Visny. The organization will soon begin an intensive study of Judge Albion W. Tourgee's works (in English) bearing on racial matters of prime importance to every Afro-American. The old fight to unhorse George Skinke as Republican leader of ward 18 is on again, led by members of the race who insist upon an Afro-American ward leader. There will be a show-down in this contest when officers of the ward club are elected, May 9. In ward 11 Councilman Payne, assisted by the other two Blossom Triplets George and Bundy, warrior of the ward leadership of Tom Fleming and his wife, hoping eventually to get a little assistance from their "jim-crow" Colored Republican league of Cuyahoga county which has less than two-dozen members. Their implied threat to unhorse Bernstein and Councilman Finkle in the 12th ward is real amusing when one remembers what "The Blossom Trio" has commanded to one of them from the masses of the ward, and fourth councilman districts. Last fall, Ormond Forte supported the Hopkins side of the contest and opposed the Republican organization which supported "The Triplets." That and other good reasons puts him out of the race for the superintendency of the garbage plant, and will undoubtedly cause the loss of the new holds when the reorganization of the ward is the first of next months. Someone ought to examine "The Triplets" heads and try to find out if there is any hope of their ever learning "what it is all about." PRIME SPORT NEWS Thompson vs. Fields. Detroit. Mich.

It is making an investigation because a pretty general charge of "take-fight" is still being made. A near riot broke out in the sixth round of the scheduled ten-round fight, when Cavallier's second tossed a towel into the ring, awarding the contest to Carnera on a technical knockout. The second, Bob Perry of Hotwood, gave a pretty roughly handled receiving aashy eye.

Chevalier said that all of his business was handled by his manager. Ringsliders protested vigorously that Chevalier, who weighed 216 pounds, was not at any time in distress. But had put up a good fight, standing up to his 276-pound opponent in such a way as to make a very impressive knock-down in the sixth row. With one exception Chevalier is the only fighter to stay more than two rounds with Carnera. In the first round, Carnera fell to his knees, the ring being slippery from rain, but jumped up immediately, not, however, until Chevalier had reached the giant fighter with several lusty wallops.

The Fate of a Pullman Sleeping-Car Porter Taken Off a Train in the South. Kansas City, Mo.—Two other Pullman porters, on the same train from which John H. Wilkins was recently taken and lynched, and who were eye-witnesses to the dastardly crime, were not permitted to proceed here with their train, but were taken off at Memphis and sent back to Birmingham. A porter here who delinqued to give his name but was on the same run as Wilkins, stated that it was the white train crew that stopped the train to Locust Grove and lynched Wilkins, the pretext for the lynching was that Wilkins could not find a berth for a white woman on the train who insisted upon having one. He is reported to have tried to appease the woman, and is said to have smiled at her, for which "terrible" crime he lynched. All sections of the International Law Defense in the South are busy amurthing the facts involved and are preparing meetings of workers to protest this lynching. J. H. Wilkins resided here and had two children to survive him. His widow works as a housekeeper.

As fashionable as the attractive pastel greens, blues, yellow-ish tones, dusty pinks and lavender tweeds are, in the opinion of Paris stylists these springlike tones are not outrivaling black and white woolen mixtures in point of chic. The picture presents a costume such as in Parisienne considers ideal for spring. Black and white tweed fashions this stunning three-piece costume. The one-piece gown features the very new slenderized allouette which calls for a semi-fitted top contrasted with a decidedly faring hemline. The three-quarter coat with self-fabric scarf, the button trimming, the black suede belt defining a high waistline, the black kid pumps are all important details in this ensemble, many of just such which will grace the Easter style parade. The French couturier is holding tencuously to the idea of black-and-white. Trimly tailored short-jacket PRINTS OF EVERY ENLIVEN T Joel Fedor PRINTS are outstanding in the spring fabric vogue. Crepes, chiffons, georgettes and plaques in floral designs, medallions, geometrics, new photographic designs and striking modernistic patterns are being displayed for resort wear, for city wear, for daytime wear and the dance. The colors are infinite in variety, both in brilliant and pastel shades, and in monotone effects as well as multicolor designs. New printed motifs in fabrics made of bemberg, a fiber made from cotton linters, are attracting much interest and attention. A well defined sense of movement is a definite part of the current silhouette trends and the patterning of many of the new prints accent this feeling. For instance, there are diagonal prints which serve to give the small woman apparent additional height. Swirled arrangements which present the same appearance whether cut on the straight or bias are advantageous for the intricate cutting which is being used to introduce flared fullness. The elongating effect of vertical lines is also stressed, designs being worked out in massed arrangements of these lines. In every case, however, there is maintained a feeling of subtlety in keeping with the more feminized fashions. Dots of varying size combined with florals, especially in scattered disposition, give the effect of a patterned ground. In conventional designs, flowers and leaves share favor and are especially prominent in combination. An interesting variation from the multicolor effects so prevalent in printed fabrics is the tendency to Don't Th But Give it suits fashioned of black and white wool mixtures are quite the tiring for immediate wear, according to their verdict. Something swanky black and white checked 3, decked woolens are made up with jackets whose flaring poplums range a series of godets about the 14ps, giving a hipped waistline. Usually the godets are repeated around the hemline of the skirt. Suits from the Paris openings include such striking types as a black and white checked lace tweed, the jacket open to the waistline, with the intention of revealing a white georgette blouse. Below the waist the jacket develops a yoke effect which fastens over one hip, with white metal buttons, the buckle on the little belt being of the same white metal composition. Another striking French model uses a handsome black and white bordered woolen, the latter interwoven in an elaborate patterning. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1920 Western Newspaper Union. DESCRIPTION HE STYLE PICTURE combine one color with such neutrals as gray and black or white and black. Flame red is particularly striking used so, while dusty tones of pink give a restful effect with gray. The photographic prints, particularly those patterns which simulate the blurred effects of charcoal sketches or the fine lines of copper etchings, are also attractive for the coming spring. The new prints cover such a wide range of ideas one is intrigued with their versatility. In the picture are two striking print costumes, each of which has a character entirely its own. The seated figure is wearing a frock such as the up-to-date college girl would be apt to choose. This modern young woman is attired in a striking gown of bemberg crepe which emphasizes tiny geometrics in vivid yellow and bright orange against a dark background. Youthful collars and cuffs of orange linen, flared skirt and dainty peplum are outstanding style features. For the fashioning of the dressy afternoon softly silhouetted two-piece suit posed to the right the stylist chooses flat crepe featuring one of the new and very much admired Japanese stencil prints. The coloring is black and lacquer red, the motif's being copied from an old Japanese design. JULLA BOTTOMLEY.

BLINDING LIGHTS CAUSE ACCIDENT BLINDING LIGHTS CAUSE ACCIDENT Badly Focused Glims Are Often Result of Carelessness by Motorist. Who is at fault if an approaching automobile with dazzling headlights temporarily blinds a driver and causes an accident? This is a much discussed question and one on which there is considerable conflict in legal opinions, according to Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. **Importance of Lamps.** "Nevertheless," he continued, "it serves to emphasize the importance of properly adjusted headlamps and brings home the fact that blinding or badly focused lights are in most instances the result of carelessness. "The large number of testing stations, the case with which adjustment can be made, and the importance of proper headlights in the field of safety serve to make unsafe lights symbolic of neglect." Pointing to some of the legal opinions on the question, Mr. Hayes said: "In the case of an accident where the driver was blinded by street car lights, the Supreme court of Maine held; 'It is the duty of a driver of an automobile to stop his car when for any reason he cannot see where he is going.' This language was likewise quoted by an Ohio court. Was at Driver's Peril. "In a case in the state of Washington, the Supreme court of that commonwealth held that 'to proceed at all, in the face of those conditions, was at his (driver's) peril.' "However, the general theory seems to be that whether it is negligence to proceed driving an automobile in the face of blinding lights, depends upon the circumstances, to be decided by a jury, and not by any specific rule of law. "Most states have adopted legislation providing for proper lights. The Illinois motor vehicle act provides that drivers approaching each other at night must dim their lights when not less than 250 feet apart; the Indiana statute specifies that drivers must dim the lights when approaching each other, and the Wisconsin code orders lights operated in such a manner that there will be no glare or dazzle, and also provides for official stations where lights shall be tested." Air Cleaners Useful on Practically All Autos Air cleaners which are used on practically all automobiles prevent dust from entering the engines, minimizing wear on pistons, rings, bearings and other vital parts. As a rule the oil-wetted type air cleaner will operate without attention for a period of one year. However, when a car is operated under extremely dusty conditions cleaning should be done more often. Cleaning and re-oiling is accomplished in the following manner either by the car owner himself or the service man. Remove the cleaner and wash it thoroughly by moving it up and down in a pair of gasoline. Allow the cleaner to dry for a few minutes and then saturate the filtering material with oil and replace. It is important and necessary to clean and re-oil the oil-wetted type air cleaner as indicated, in order to maintain its maximum cleaning efficiency, according to H. G. Kamrath, research engineer. Discard Old Plugs Tests show that a motor in which spark plugs had been used for more than 12,000 miles developed 31.2 horse power, when run at an engine speed equivalent to 20 miles an hour. The same motor run at the same speed equipped with a new set of plugs gave a horse power reading of 38.0, an increase of 6.8 horse power. THE MOTOR QUIZ Q. What country leads in road improvement and construction activity? Ans. United States. Q. What countries lead in mileage of surfaced highways? Ans. European countries. Their surfaced highways began with the old Romans, and have kept in good condition through out the ages. Europe has 629,000 miles of surfaced roads as compared to 15,000 in the United States. Q. Is gasoline consumption less on high type roads? Ans. Yes. Where a vehicle will require a gallon for 15 miles on a high type road it will require 1.2 gallons of gasoline on the intermediate type, and 1.47 on the poor type of road. Q. How do different type roads affect maintenance, cost, and depreciation of automobiles? Ans. As a type of road becomes poorer maintenance cost and depreciation is somewhat in the same ratio as the increase in gasoline consumption shown above.

AUTOMOBILE FACTS "Auto fumes made safe," says scientist. And now if some one will only make them fragrant. A "puncture" vine, a noxious weed, capable or destroying automobile tires, has been discovered in Hazen, Nev. An effort is being made by motorists in Ohio for the repeal of the law which requires the display of a white cross at every spot along the traffic highway where there has been a traffic fatality. During the month of September 91 persons a day were killed by automobiles in this country. When we get the number up to an even hundred we can hold a progress exposition or something. Two sure ways to injure any automobile engine are to race the motor when the car is standing and to drive at high speeds before the engine has been warmed up to an efficient temperature.

TWIRL THE DIAL, GALL THE BUTLER TWIRL THE DIAL, GALL THE BUTLER Complete Dial Telephone Unit Developed for Homes The mistress of the home equipped with latest telephone service literally has the household at her finger tips. A miniature dial telephone system for homes or offices, which has been developed by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, makes possible inter-communication within the home as well as outside points by the operation of a dial. The system is designed to provide eight individual lines with two outside and two inter-communicating trunk lines or to provide 15 individual lines with three outside and three inter-communicating trunk lines. The capacity of the smaller system is four simultaneous conversations while the larger one will accommodate six. Incoming Calls Incoming calls may be answered on any of the telephones of the system which are provided with keys for selecting trunk lines. These keys are mounted in the base of a cradle type telephone and are operated by pressure on a button. A master telephone, usually located in the butler's quarters, may receive all incoming calls, which are routed to the party desired by the selection of an unoccupied trunk line and the dialing of the party's number. Inter-connections between telephones of the system are obtained by dialing the individual line number. Outgoing calls are transmitted to dial exchanges by merely operating the dial or to exchange operators by keying an outside trunk line and requesting the number orally. Each call, whether within the home or to an outside point, is routed over an individual trunk line, thus insuring privacy during conversations. UTILITIES COURT PUBLIC APPROVAL UTILITIES COURT PUBLIC APPROVAL Oliver Bell Editorial Reveals Changed Attitude The machine-like aspect of large public utility corporations is being influenced by an entirely different attitude on the part of corporation officials toward the question of public relations, according to an editorial in The Ohio Bell Magazine, official organ of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. A very human regard for public opinion is expressed in the simple phrase, "We want the public to like us." "We want the public to respect us and have confidence in our knowledge and ability; to like us for our service and for our sympathy and interest in its individual problems," the editorial states. "This means our service must be good and continuously improving. It really means doing what each subscriber wants us to do if we can, or the next best thing if exactly what he wants cannot be done. No other attitude on our part would mean 'sympathy and interest in . . . individual problems.' "Public relations is not something different or special at all, but is part of every job, every public contact. It is an important part of every installation, repair, construction and engineering job. It is an important part of every call handled at a switchboard . . . of every counter or telephone contact." Eighty-five miles of telephone wire are required for the average Ohio modern office building of 12 stories. Police Shoot Trouble For Trouble Shooter VOR H.

Zeman pany, sat upon a pole in Euclid Village one late winter's day ruminating upon the problems confronting telephone linemen. He had braved the furies of blizzards, fought the ravages of clinging sheet, plowed through mud and rainy weather. But never before had he been a subject of such active interest on the part of three police dogs who helped and slaved about the base of the pole, emulating their long-fanged forebears of the woods and plains in a very evident desire to gnaw upon the limbs of Mr. Twigg. As time passed and the three savage sentinels showed no sign of departing, Mr. Twigg's discomfiture increased. He cast about for some means of deliverance. Suddenly an idea popped into his head. He shinned up to the cross-arms and, cutting in on the wires by means of his telephone instruments, sent a frantic S. O. S. to Cleveland police. The distress signal was relayed to Euclid Village police; who rushed out to call off Telephone Is Sculpt Leu Zen MMORTALITY for typical American workers. That is the aim of Max Kalish, noted sculptor of Cleveland, O., and Paris, France, who has created the clay likenesses of typical Americans clad in their working garments. The collection will include 25 statues in bronze, posed by American workmen in Cleveland. Finishing touches will be applied in France, where the sculptor finds among some 25,000 artists and students an atmosphere more favorable to the completion of his work. "In America I find the models for my labor subjects, but Europe is better for the finishing," said Mr. Kalish.

This model catches the outdoor spirit of the telephone business, with the lineman, clad in overalls, his sleeves rolled and neck bared to the weather, wearing the lineman's safety belt, gauntlet and spurs. He is portrayed looking upward with the wind blowing through his clothing. The statue is 18 inches in height.
