ANK robbers who secured $4,500 from the Junction City Banking Company recently reckoned without the telephone. Offices of the Rush Creek Telephone Company are situated directly over the bank. An accidental shot warned J. W. Murphy, manager, of the hold-up. Murphy quickly secured the details from the cashier. Then the telephone wires began to hum. With the assistance of Operators Lillian Reightley and Daisy Hamisfar, Murphy placed calls to authorities in Junction City, Lancaster, Bremen, Rushville and New Lexington, calling forth deputy sheriffs on all the routes of escape. To further augment the forces of the law, Mr. Murphy communicated with farmers on the rural lines, who turned out with antiquated weapons of every description and caliber. The farmers in turn reported the whereabouts of the bandit sedan, placing authorities in constant touch with its progress. Floyd McCaffery, lineman for the Rush Creek Telephone Company, leaped into a truck, enlisted the aid of three companions and set out in pursuit of the bandits. The truck, traveling one of the possible avenues of escape, blocked the passage of the sedan, which rammed the truck before it could be brought to a stop. Efficiency in the use of the telephone brought about the apprehension of the bandits within an hour of the hold-up. It is estimated that the operators handled between 600 and 700 local and long distance calls during the chase and authorities were constantly informed as to the whereabouts of the fugitives. 1. --- # B THE GAZETTE weapons of every description and caliber.

London, Eng. — Paul Robeson, America's great Afro-American spiritual singer, on Monday opened in a London theater as the Moor in Shakespeare's "Othello. It will be the first time the role has ever been played by "Xenor" since Ira Aldridge did it here about fifty years ago. Robeson, whose great work in "Show Boat" has gained a tremendous London following for him, said Sunday: "One cannot prophecy, but I am hopeful that my interpretation of Othello will meet with public approval." Robeson, former football star, graduate of Rutgers College and holder of a law degree from Columbia University, has spent much time on the part of the cultivated stage actress and a wealth of historicic ability. There is such a demand for seats that the theater manager has had to make out an invitation list. Slaughters Blank Fords. Slaughter Bros. stepped up into the favorite division in Class B by blanking the powerful Berichon Fords, 4 to 0, in a seven-inning fray Sunday at League Park.

Dear Editor:—I have been reading *The Gazette* for a year and a paper called The Post-Call. I observe that *you do not copy everything white papers have said relative to Tom Fleming. You use your own judgment. I compliment you. In last week's copy of The Call-Post I read where a few Negroes have got tickets for hundreds, and got money for themselves, by selling tickets for a dinner in "honor" of a millionaire Republican leader, when, a few months ago, these same folks failed to give a party of any magnitude for their three councilmen and board of elections member. They have not given anything either to help a fellow citizen, and Elk brother, fight these Democrats who are persecuting him. Who's who, when it comes to helping the streets, out of work, or feeding the thousands that are hungry? Not our councilmen! But Councilman Herman Finkle and Mr. Alexander Bernstein are the saviors of the hungry at Xmas, and Thanksgiving time, and also secure all the giving they can for them. Who's who when it comes to protesting spending money on men who do not need it and help the Negro get a living in Cleveland? SEEKS TO ANNUL INTERMARRIAGE "Friend" of Rich Atlantan Acts for Him—Loves His Dolly! I. Ill. Efforts to annul the marriage of James Banks, age 89, wealthy former resident (white) of Atlanta, and Dolly S. Gardner, age 58, were made, Monday, in Supreme Court. Counsel for Mrs. Banks was ordered to file an amended petition within twenty days to the plea of Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, man who seeks the annulment as a friend of Banks. The Bankses were married here in July, 1827. Counsel for Mrs. Banks alleges Banks brot his wife from Georgia, where laws bar intermarriage of races. At a competency hearing, Banks was held to have been incompetent for six months prior to that time. Counsel for Mrs. Banks claim that the ruling in that case held Banks to be sane at the time of the marriage, more than six months prior to the competency hearing. The court overruled the contention, but granted three weeks to make a new one. A CHAMPION OF HUMAN JUSTICE! Hon. Joseph C. Manning Passes Out in New York City—Great Foe of Disfranchisement Successes to the Deadly Cancer. New York City—Hon. Joseph Columbus Manning of Alabama, former state senator, champion of human justice and foe of disfranchisement, "black-belt" frauds, and peonage in the south, for more than forty years, died early Sunday morning at Cavaliere hospital after three years' hunger strike. He was killed in the throat. Born at Linville, Alabama, May 21, 1870, the youngest son of Rev. Henry and Mrs. Martha Manning, he was educated at State Normal college, Ala. At the age of 20, he was an editor for the American Press Association at Atlanta, Ga. Having deeply interested in A. B. politics and the Farmers' Alliance which was opposed to the Democratic oligarchy, young Manning took the stump for the farmers. Joe Manning, as he was familiarly known, was a great crusader. He hated injustice and from early youth was a defender of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment bills; entire life was in expository writings injurious to both, colored and white, and just before his death wrote these last words for a friend: "I go to my end without a regret." From 1892 to 1900, young Manning was postmaster at Alexander City, Ala. In 1903 he was principal speaker before the Middlesex Club when he honored the birth of Gen. William McKinley, author of speech heralded through the country as a great one and it aroused the Democratic south to fever heat. The Republican party was clated. Statesman and political leader, Mr. Manning was author of several pamphlets. Two of his latest books, "Fade to Twenty-Five," are remarkable stories of his life's work. Never tiring, he was a man of great energy, imprinting the rights of our people, uprooting the south and its Ku Klux Klan. The stand he took against the separated him from his brothers and his immediate family, and made him an exile from his state. Realizing his death was imminent, he requested the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist church, New York at his funeral. A. J. Gray of Chicago, a former New Yorker and a close friend of Mr. Manning for many years, has been requested to compile his biography, Mrs. Chas. H. Denison, widow of the late Col. Denison and a noted Republican of New York, took charge of the funeral arrangements. Mr. Manning simply insisted, the body was interred in Kensico cemetery near his friend, Col. Denison. A. J. Gary, 4103 Vincentes Ave., Chicago, will have charge of Mr. Manning's publications, etc. OHIO HEIRESS, 24, WEDS 4TH TIME. Her Marriage to A "Negro" Is Annulled and Then A Sower Marries Her. New York City—Dolores O'Lennard Bethford (white), age 24, of Cincinnati, beautiful Smith College girl and heiress to a $20,000,000 Toledo (O.) fortune, has欠登 her daughter to a Harlem Arro-American and has secured her fourth husband, a ginger liquor were "proved" (thokum) to the satisfaction of Supreme Court Justice Lytell, in Buffalo, who granted an annulment which on May 7 released Eugene Newton from the girl. He is a young mulatto, now in Paris, France. The wire that applauded Miss Ford of the annulment decree was less than a day old when she eloped to Hudson Falls, N. Y., where she became the bride of Louis Matthews, a Richmond (Va.) plumber. The coincidence of her hopping and father will follow her mother in forging them. The father, Wm. Ford, of Toronto, is a glass manufacturer and insurance man, director and stockholder in numerous corporations. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS COUNTY PROSECUTOR MILLER "PLAYED TO THE GALLERY" THRU THE LOCAL DAILY NEWSPAPERS, LAST WEEK. Failed to Meet Mrs. Oehme, as Agreed—Fleming Critizes the Prosecutor and Maintains He Was Framed by Oehme Whose Wife's Affidavit Says So. Atty. Alex. H. Martin began, Monday, preparing a record of Thos. W. Fleming's case for submission to the U. S. Supreme Court. He said that if he could not get the nation's highest tribunal to admit the case, he would appeal to Gov. Myers Y. Cooper for clemency. County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller received, last week, a decision from the Justice Marshall of the U. S. Supreme Court that a stay to May 26, "30, of execution had been granted in the Fleming case, to allow an appeal to be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court. Mrs. Margaret LaVerne Oehme, widow of the late Walter Oehme, whose testimony convicted Fleming of bribery, whom Miller refused to see, week before last, kept her appointment with him, late Monday, but Miller failed to keep his. He, who was the only person to return home without seeing him, Miller "subpoenaed" Mrs. Oehme to his office, last week, to ask her how she came to give Fleming an affidavit that her husband had "framed" him and had recanted his testimony against him before he (Oehme) had died. Because she was ill, and he had no legal right to subpoena her, the court ruled he elided by her attorney and Miller to have her call on the latter. Monday Just as we stated in our last issue, Tom was not "running away," last week, as the county prosecutor's office and daily newspapers were trying to make the people of the community believe. Fleming came on into the city from Buffalo, as soon as he arrived, and went to the county jail and grab him up, remaining there (but not in a cell) for seven hours, until his son, Wallace, reached Cleveland from Columbus with the State Supreme Court's stay of execution. He made the trip (145 miles) in an auto in record time, three hours and twenty minutes. While awaiting his son's arrival, Tom declared that he would fight to the last ditch to preserve his freedom, adding that Miller's office had deliberately tried for several days to embarrass and persecute him. "I believe that Mr. Miller said: 'Did you ever see a man so opposed to serving a sentence after conviction?' Well, I wonder what Mr. Miller would do if he were in my position. What would you expect a man to do if he were innocent?" The former councilman charged that Miller's office had acted irregularly in attempting to arrest him, last week Tuesday night, (before his return to the city). "I never heard of a prosecutor trying to arrest a man with a mere copy of a mandate as his authority," said Fleming. "And the proper thing to have done, instead of send deputies to my home, was to have notified my bondsman to bring me in." Fleming also said he did not know of the court's action at Columbus when he drove to the county jail, that he had been driving in from Canada, and that the reason he was smiling when he arrived at the jail was not because he knew that he had been driving in from Canada, but because of sentence until May 26, but because he had been able to drive through the city without being apprehended by the deputies sheriff who had been searching for him for a couple of days. His appeal, to the U. S. Supreme Court, claims that it violates a man's constitutional rights to imprison him in the antiquated Columbus penitentiary, scene of the recent disastrous fire, would constitute a violation and punish him, which is prohibited by the U. S. constitution. Fleming said: "The entire affair is a frame-up. I don't know why Oehme said what he did at my trial, but I think that if he were alive today he would retract everything he said. I was always a good friend of Oehme's and helped him in every way. I was a police station and I saw Oehme in the drunk lineup. He had been out drinking too much wine, and he called me over and told me he was in a fix. He said he had been locked up and his gun and badge taken away from him. He asked me to see what I could do for him. I went before the judge and told him that the man was an innocent child. His job. I got him off. The night after I was granted a stay by the court of appeals, Mrs. Oehme called my house and asked THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulat on among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari-ship with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

I didn't know who she was or what she wanted, but I told her Mrs. Fleming was in Dayton visiting. I never knew it was Mrs. Oehme that called until later, when I was told by my wife, after the affidavits (Mrs. Oehme) and her mother's) had been made. I had helped Oehme in his hospital bills after he was hurt and had taken the matter before Charles Smith, Direcetor of the hospital bills paid. Later, Oehme came to me and said he had thought of other bills and when I took them to Smith, he told me they were pretty old, but he would see what he could do. I have not been trying to hide. I was in Canada and just came back. I did not except the supreme court to render so sudden a decision." If the U. S. supreme court fails Fleming, he will then ask Gov. Myers Y. Cooper to pardon him, Mrs. Margaret L. Oehme, widow of Walter Oehme, whose testimony convicted Fleming of bribery, has sworn that her husband had recanted his testimony against Fleming before he died. Atty. Martin offered to bring Mrs. Oehme to see Miller after she made out her affidavit, three weeks ago, but at that time Miller declared he didn't want to see her because he doubted her credibility. AVERAGE LIFE NOW 46 YEARS. Death Rate Steadily Declining But Still Too High — Tuberculosis Takes Heavy Toll—South and North. Atlanta, Ga. — Instead of dying out, as was at one time predicted, Afro-Americans are steadily growing more healthy and their life span is increasing, according to a statement given out by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation. Basing its argument further furnished by the U. S. Public Health service and the statistical department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., the Commission says: "The gloomy prophecies of those who expected the solution of the great American problem through the Negro's extinction have been completely discredited by the experience of the last sixty years. In that period his mortality rate has decreased fifty per cent or more, the present ratio is about 40 per thousand, as against 35 or 40 per thousand in reconstruction days. The present life span of Negroes is about 46 years, which represents a gain in the last decade of approximately five years. Both in mortality rate and life expectancy he today stands about where the white American stood in the years before, by no means and showing in the face a well-known background disadvantages under which his progress has been made. "A study of the two million policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. reveals a mortality rate still lower, the figures for 1926 being 14.6 per thousand among this group as against 17.5 per thousand in 1911. Most gratifying has been the decreasing mortality from tuberculosis, which still causes the death of one in every six. A decline of 44 per cent in the tuberculosis death rate between 1911 and 1926 and a decrease of 54.5 per cent in tuberculosis among children in the same period indicates that this peculiarly destructive disease is rapidly yielding to the determined assaults that have been made, the gains that have been made, however, due to education, sanitation, and public health service, the death rate is still much higher than that of white people—87 per cent higher in the cities and 49 per cent higher in the rural communities, according to the figures of the Public Health service. "It will be a surprise to many to learn that the death rate is much higher in the cities than in the rural districts, and higher in the northern states than in the South. In the census of 1920 Louisiana showed the lowest mortality rate —13.5 per thousand —while seven other southern states showed rates of 17.2 or less. That of New York, on the other hand, was 17.6, while in other northern states the rate ran still higher, reaching a maximum of 29.4 in Michigan." 1 (In Advance) One Year . . . $2.00 Six Months . . . 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Parker of North Carolina was 41 to 39. Our contemporary, The Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American, says anent this: "A change of one vote would have resulted in the confirmation of Parker." How do you figure it that way, brother? Mr. Lonnie Hogan, who late last fall topped a civil service examination list for a place as a brick-layer in the service of the Board of Education, received an official notice to go to work, last week, with the assistance of our member of the school board, Mrs. Mary B. Martin. We are particularly pleased to be able to make this announcement, and hope that she will keep up the good work, finding time soon to look into the cases of Mrs. Isom and Mrs. Ramsey, both of whom were turned down flat, last year, after winning places in civil service examinations. County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller's interviews (relative to the Fleming case) in the local daily papers, several days last week, just prior to former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's return to the city, were not very creditable to him from a professional viewpoint; nor was his refusal to send for or see Mrs. Margaret LaVerne Oehme relative to her Fleming affidavit, the week previous, and his strange reversal of form in sending a subpoena, last week, something he had no legal right to do, and his failure to meet her at his office Monday, as agreed by him and Mrs. Oehme's attorney. Such methods are new to Cleveland, to say the least, and are open to considerable criticism. They will hardy help Mr. Miller who is a candidate for reelection, this fall. And too, they remind one very much of the old stage and political saying, "playing to the gallery." THE SHAME OF AMERICA. "Sherman, Texas, has a population of slightly more than 16,000, ninety percent of whom are whites. The town has two denominational colleges, 27 churches and a Y. M. C. A. with a large membership." Thus a newspaper despatch describes the "Athens" of Texas which for fourteen hours was under the dominion of a mob which resorted to every form of bestial cruelty in its effort to lynch a "Negro" who was already in charge of officers of the law. It succeeded in burning him to death and the courthouse with him. It destroyed a considerable part of the "Negro" quarter of the town. In no part of the civilized world but America would such a thing have been possible. It is somewhat to the credit of Texas that the Governor put the town under martial law and that there have been actually arrests of the alleged leaders of the mob. Whether they will be convicted remains to be seen. A mob such as this, while it is raging, can only be met with force and sternness. Future mobs are likely to be discouraged by severe punishment. But the question of mobs, the crowd psychology which lies behind them, and the special cultural and economic circumstances which make them possible in America, demand investigation. What have Sherman's good citizens to say? Will they carry out the proposal of a clergyman that our people be recompensed for the damage done to their property? The United States has no rightful place in any civilized community of nations unless it can stop this sort of thing. Texas and all other southern states need a mob violence act like Ohio's, and then to enforce it. Even in the fight on Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, President Hoover's defeated candidate for membership on the U. S. Supreme Court bench, "the 'Negro' issue was submerged by those leading the opposition to Parker's confirmation" and had to be "brought to the surface by Parker's supporters," wrote the Washington, D.C., correspondent of The Cleveland Daily Press, May 7, '30. Parker's supporters maintained that his "recent decision, holding unconstitutional the Richmond Va. segregation order, wiped out any anti-Negro interpretation which might be placed upon his earlier reference," the "earlier reference" meaning what Judge Parker is quoted by a leading North Carolina daily newspaper as saying, ten years ago, when the Republican candidate for governor of that state: viz. "The participation of the 'Negro' in politics is a source of evil and danger to both races and is not desired by the wise men in either race or by the Republican party of North Carolina." In plain words, Judge Parker was saying that he that it a bad thing for the "Negro" to avail himself of the right to vote. In this respect, at least, he was not wholly at variance with some of the leaders of the opposition to the confirmation of his appointment to the U. S. Supreme court bench who sought to "submerge the 'Negro' issue," and among this number must be placed the "illy-white" Republicans of the South and their sympathizers in the North who have clearly misled the President into their way of thinking as far as our people are concerned. This is the only way in which one can explain Mr. Hoover's attempt to make Judge Parker an associate justice of the highest legal tribunal in this country. WHAT WE NEED MOST. President Ben Davis's recent address to the members of our National Press association is excellent, and would have far more effect upon our representatives of the "Fourth Estate," had he even in a small degree lived up to its suggestions and recommendations from personal, political and professional standpoints. Until practically kicked out of the Republican party, a few months ago, by its Coolidge-Hoover control, Ben Davis, like "Link" Johnson (deceased) and our other Republican National committeeman, Perry Howard, were as servile to the Republican national bosses, and of as little use to their own people as the veriest "boot-licking Negro" Republican in all the South, and North too, for that matter. Our National Press association and our people generally will never get anywhere until they supplant Davis, Howard and all their kind of selfish so-called leaders with capable men and women leaders of the race who are willing to make personal sacrifice for it whenever necessary. We are suffering more, today, not alone in politics, from a lack of the right kind of leadership, than we have at any time since the close of the war of the rebellion. It is our greatest need. TEXAS BARBARIANS Re-connect the Sherman, Texas, Lynch Ingressors Stresses Both the Pollack Belt and Battl Police Bullets End Battle. Honeygrove, Tex.—State authorities were to open an investigation. Saturday, following a barbaric demonstration by a mob of 400 brusle which, Friday night, seized the body of a Negro from police officers dragged him around the street, burned it. The victim, Fay Johnston, age 36, killed Forest Fortenberry, a land owner, when the latter abused and mistreated him about a debt. Johnston then barricaded himself in a cabin and fought off police by firing more than 50 shots. Police bullets finally found Johnson and the crowd rushed the cabin, seized the body and tied it to an automobile. It was then dragged through the street and killed. Oiled and suspended from the limit of a tree and set afire. The Sherman, Tex. outrage occurred, May 9, '30. A MOTHER KILLS 7 KIDDIES! Feared Her Colored Hubby's Return Child By Her Daughter Orbile By Her Daughter Orbile Columbus, O.—Fearing that her husband, who was scheduled to be paroled, against whom she had testified before his imprisonment in the penitentiary, would come home and do her harm, Mrs. Ethel Yelden (white) killed seven children and turned the weapon upon herself, here, recently. Darby Yelden, the husband, was sent to prison on a charge of criminal relations with a friend of the daughter by a former marriage. Mrs. Yelden told friends that she that Yelden an Indian and did not know he was colored until after he had been sentenced to prison. At that time, she said, she had borne him six children, and in addition her daughter, Mildred, had borne him a child, which she had adopted. 14 Indicted in Lynching: Sherman, Tex.—Fourteen men, arrested in connection with the mob violence here, May 9, which resulted in the burning of the Grayson county courthouse and the lynching of a "Negro" only charged with criminal attack, were indicted by the Grayson county grand jury here, Tuesday.

Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, is called "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury" or the purpose of this chapter, shall be manifestly 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 and the assault is made by the court, which the assault is made by. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars亏款, 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 rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of the person so lynched nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (33 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recourse provided for in this chapter must be committed within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) 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 .aw. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. like Pennsylvania and New Jersey The Ohio law follows: OBIS. representative of victim of lynchings by mob trying to lynch another costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. 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 in the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6288. 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. 12240. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of the 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities, or services 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. 12241. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and any person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY?

Finding the owner of a Packard he staked his new Buick automobile against the Fields backer's machine. He then drew his life-savings of $300 from the bank to place a bet with another man who liked Fields, and when he found still another Fields backer, he found the loan of $200 still another of $200 he kept all these a secret thing from Mrs. Miller and when she found out what he had done she immediately started a frenzied search for him. Shortly after midnight she found him riding in the Packard. They rode home together. But what would have happened? The mercy!

Gazette who has some good news for her. Please notify Mrs. Smith, immediately. As announced in The Gazette, last week, Atty. Norman L. McGhee was appointed, last week Friday, as an investigator in the bureau of domestic relations. He was decided upon by common pleas judges, at the request of Judge A. J. Pearson, and appointed by C. B. Corlett, chief of the bureau. All former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's legal troubles of the past year are based upon the charge that he was "paid $200 (by Walter Oehme) to push legislation for payment of $354, medical expenses." Thus Oehme claimed he have paid Tom $200 to get him $354, itself is enough to make anyone question the charge upon which Tom was convicted. Another member of the race put on the county pay roll recently is Plymouth, L. Van Pelt, formerly in city street building, Mr. Van Pelt was on the city pay roll prior to John G. Tomson's campaign for sheriff and was one of the 1,100 that W. S. Ferguson, then service director, laid off in May, 1928. Van Pelt is listed as a sewer foreman under the county commissioners' office at 1500 Fifth Avenue, "The Blossom Triplets" had nothing to do with this appointment, either. Racketeering is not to be permitted in the third and fourth councilmanic districts, say the police. One man was arrested and charged with promoting a game of chance, Tuesday, when the police gambling squad raided a place at 4909 Central Ave. and seized four books of lottery slips. The man, Fred Sheppard, age 28, gave his address 2229 E. T. Avenue to the Patrolmen Claude Lee and Sam Wolfe, Sheppard had apparently just started operating. Four men, in the place when police arrived, were allowed to leave. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bolden of Chicago, the latter former Miss Saddle Cisco, a native of this city, motored to Cleveland, recently, to attend the funeral of her cousin, Mrs. Brown, and to attend the funeral of Mrs. Brown of Mrs. M. Cash, E. 36th St, also her cousin, Mr. Brown's sister. A short time before his death, Mr. Brown was compelled by sickness to resign the position Safety Director Edwin E. Barry had given him. Of a famine, he was a custodian of census and grandparents, Mesdames Cash and Bolden are all that remain in life. The following resolution was introduced in St. James' Forum, Sunday afternoon, by the pastor of the church and adopted: "Whereas Senator McCulloch, in his desire to bolster up the toterting Hoover administration, saw fit to ignore the protest of organized labor, and the united protests of 125,000 Negro voters of Ohio, by voting for Judge John J. Parker, and whereas, the only protection of citizens against public servants who fail to serve the public good is the use of the ballot. Be it resolved that we, the St. James' Literary Forum, will continue being opposed to the nomination of Senator McCulloch to succeed himself, and that we use every method at hand to bring about his defeat, first in the primary, and if, by any chance should he succeed in the primary, that we call upon all Negroes in Ohio to vote against him in the November election." The ROUNDER Director Dudley S. Blossom's city welfare department leads in the number of "temporary" civil service appointments, with 278, more than 62 per cent of the total number on its roster. Of the 278, one hundred fifty-five are at the City hospital. Of those (155), 79 are graduate nurses and 48 student nurses. Relative to this, Secretary G. G. Swain of the city civil service commission says, the supply of graduate nurses is so scarce that it is impossible to meet the demand of the City hospital and that the same is true of the Tuberculosis hospital where 17 nurses are rated as "temporary" employees. With this Superintendent P. J. McMillan of the City hospital concurs, adding that student nurses are se- A. DUDLEY S. BLOSSOM lected by the principal of nurses upon certain rules of qualifications. Thirty physicians, surgeons and dentists are carried on the rolls of the welfare department as "temporary" employees. Dr. R. K. Perkins, consulting laboratory director, the oldest in point of service, on the "temporary" rolls, was appointed Feb. 1, 1913, according to the civil service records. Secretary Swain states one examination or physician had been held in the history of the commission and that was for district physicians. in 1924. Here you have the "low-down" on the department of the city's service presided over by Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom. It shows clearly how inexcusable has been his barring of our student nurses from the hospital, for years and too, in the face of the lack of graduate nurses so greatly needed, not only in the City hospital but also at the tuberculosis hospital, in the face of which there are 79 "temporary" appointments of graduate nurses and 48 of student nurses because the eligible lists of both are far too short to meet the demands of the hospital, the same conditions obtains. Here seventeen nurses are rated as "temporary" employees. Superintendent McMillan says, "Student nurses are selected by the principal of nurses upon certain rules of qualifications." On their physi- Triplets", (Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy), must look into these "certain rules of qualifica- immediately, and see to it that some of our girls who desire to enter the nurses' training school at the City hospital are made familiar with them so that they can meet the school with the first class, this summer or fall, when tae time comes. Then too, there is no reason why our physicians, surgeons and dentists should not be represented on the rolls of the welfare department which now carries thirty such "tremble" rolls, Perkins, consulting laboratory director, the oldest in point of service, on the 'tremble' rolls, having been appointed Feb. 1, 1913; can hold his position for more than seventeen years, "according to the civil service records," surely our physicians, surgeons and dentists, too, should have depressed the department, under Director Blossom, and be given it at once. Put it up to the "Blossom Triplets," gentlemen, and at once, and you and our student nurses will fare far better in the matter of positions at the City hospital than you can ever possible hope to in case of the hospital, something the same, sensible and intelligent of our people of this community will never tolerate. 100 are credited every year of that inimitable stings whose character fused with those of a RUBE Only Can The truly beautiful thoroughly every day air.

The bureau be part of the U. S. department of labor employment service. Bolton recommended the appointment of Miss Millie Millman as secretary of the agency, which is to serve ex-service men under a $100,000 appropriation made by Congress a few weeks ago. What's the matter with recommending some of our war veterans for appointment in the agency or bureau, Mr. Bolton? They, too, are entitled to such recognition.

BILL, THE BUS DRIVER SAYS "A minute's wait ain't expensive. It's the life, the pain and the dough you sometimes pay for bein' in a hurry that's costly." THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. How much did motorists in United States pay for gasoline and oil in 1929? Ans. More than $3,000,000,000. It is estimated. Over 38,000,000 gallons of gasoline were purchased daily. Q. How many motor cars pass out of existence every year in the United States? Ans. An average of 2,000,000. Q. What will remove spots of I said this was goin' to be a fair and impartial bawlin' out and for that reason I am goin' to bruise the shins of a million or two yaps. A dame come to a crossin' on a busy street in a thrivin' town in the Middle West. They had a cop on that corner. They also had traffic lights which turned from green to red just as the dame got there. She was leadin' a little boy by the hand. It was her kid, about four years old, and he kept lookin' up into his mother's face, trustin' like. Did that dame wait for the traffic light to change or for the cop's whistle? She did not. She stood a fleelin' second or two leann' over the edge of the curb like a horse champin' at the bit. She was one of them restless vans rarin' to go. Then she went. Dashed into the street draggin' that poor kid with her. A truck was comin' and she thought she could beat it but a drivein' fool in a tourin' car was passin' that truck on the left while goin' over the crossin' and she couldn't see it from the curb. She saw it when she was in front of the truck, got petrified with fear and stood stock still in her tracks until the truck hit her and knocked her under the wheels of the tourin' car. She got off with a busted leg and couple of ribs stove in. But it was the finish for the poor little kid with the trustin' eyes and childish confidence. Even the hard boiled cop turned his head away. The truck driver, a tough lookin' egg, stopped his death wagon and got out, shaken' like a leaf. On the pavement back of the hind wheels lay a crushed little bundle in a white sailor suit, curly yellow hair matted down with streaks of red and little face smudged with oil and dirt. Does the kick hurt a little? If it does write this in your book of good resolutions and stick to it: "When crossin' streets I will not try to beat traffic, I will obey all traffic rules same as automobiles are supposed to do because I don't want to get bumped off yet." **AUTOMOBILE FACTS** Safety first is the motorist's best rule. It seems to be agreed that all traffic lights in Utopia are green. The roads and highways of the United States occupy space equivalent to 112,000 farms of 160 acres each. The cost of gasoline for running a light car is about 22 per cent of the total cost per mile. In a heavy car it is about 15 per cent. Motor trucks were used extensively in hauling cattle to market during 1920. More than 14,500,000 head were marketed in this manner. Dora's doorbell was out of order a month before it was noticed. So many of her dear pals just pull into the curb and lean on the horn. "No person shall use any blasphemous or indecent language on a highway," says Manitoba's new traffic act. And what do you say to a flat tire—baby talk? A Minnesota man built a fence 20 feet high to keep a neighbor from parking cars in his vacant lot. This is the most constructive criticism coming to our notice recently. THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. How much did motorists in United States pay for gasoline and oil in 1929? Ans.

Butter spread over the spots of tar will make it easily removable. If there is no butter handy there are a number of preparations that do the job excellently. Q. If adjustments of spark plug gaps vary will it have any effect on the car's performance? Ans. Yes. It may cause uneven engine performance. This is why spark plug gaps should be inspected at least twice a year.

Road Markers Protected Eighteen states now have laws making it a misdemeanor to willfully damage official road signs and with traffic steadily increasing there is a tendency to impose severe punishment on those who interfere with these utilities of travel, according to the research department of the American Automobile association. The national motoring body pointed out that official road signs include all those erected by the state or local governments or by A. A. A. motor clubs with approval of the interested authorities. The A. A. A. appeals to affiliated clubs, in states where such protective legislation has not been enacted, to conduct a vigorous campaign. States in which it is now a misdemeanor to willfully damage, destroy, mutilate, tear down or deface any official road sign, warning or directional marker on highways are: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Virginia. Will Weigh Trucks Determined to enforce the law that denies overloaded trucks the use of certain highways, the Michigan highway department will install pit scales along principal trunk roads. State police will halt and weigh trucks suspected of carrying loads in excess of what the pavement will stand. The driver of an overloaded truck will be compelled to unload part of his cargo on the spot. He also may get a ticket. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1930. GIRL GRADUATES LOOK FAIREST IN FROCKS OF SHEER WHITE JEEL PEDWEN PHOTO WOMEN NOW THINK IN TERMS OF A COMPLETE WARDROBE OF HATS For summer wear designers are SOON the "sweet girl graduate" will be having her day. After the dreadful strain of "exams" is over and all the available credits have been garnered in, depend upon it Miss Graduate's fancy will immediately turn not "lightly" but seriously to the question "what to wear" when she curties as her coveted diploma is handed to her. In creating frocks for the youthful graduate designers are working along the theory that "beauty unadorned is adorned the most." Therefore while the materials employed are superlatively lovely, such as exquisite white chiffons or geometrics, dotted swishes, too, if you please, and especially organdies—for the sheer materials are "it" this season—they are made up in the simplest possible manner. That is, to all appearance, they are decidedly ingenuine, but in reality they are fashioned with meticulous observance as to detail and effect. The picture does not do justice to the very lovely frocks here shown. It is almost impossible for the camera to catch the subtlety of the soft ac- WOMEN NOW THINK A COMPLETE W A HAT for every occasion and for each costume a matching or complementary hat—to this extent has the modern woman become hat-conscious. No better proof of the general acceptance of this new hatology can be found than that of the millinery displays themselves. Everything in the way of a chapeau is included in the new collections from beret and the close-fitting little shapes which Paris adores, to brims which reach the limit when it comes to dimensions and to diversify. Thus it is that when milady a hatbuying goes she thinks in terms of many chapeaux, for she must needs consider the question in its every phase from sports to most formal. The idea of the ensemble has brought about an interesting development in the way of hats made from the same material as the frocks or coats, as the case may be, with which they are worn. In the early spring this vogue expressed itself in little tweed berets or turbans matched to the costumes which they accompanied. cordian plenting which enhances the dress of chiffon which the seated figure is wearing. Then, too, there is a wide border of sheerest net footing about the hemline and its exquisite daintainess cannot be told in mere black and white print. The boutoniere of self-fabrics is very effective, and even if one makes this frock at home, this decorative flower could be easily fashioned. The frock to the right lays claim to style distinction because of its bolero, although if preferred, In making this model, the sleeves could just as well be sewed in the jacket, thus offering the prospect of a sleeveless frock with the bolero removed. An ensemble of white geogette such as this is practical. With care it can be beautifully laundered so that the summer through it will look like new. Organdie posed over a slip of white lace presents a new effect which designers are playing up with fascinating results for the girl graduate. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) K IN TERMS OF WARDROBE OF HATS For summer wear designers are creating charming styles of self-fabric, such as the handsome wide-brimmed model in the picture. This ensemble hat is a Jean Patou model, and being Parisian there is no surprise in the fact that it is carried out in black and white, for fashionables in the French capital continue to exploit with enthusiasm this combination. The printed chiffon employed for the crown and part of the brim of this hat is identical to that used for the dress. The brim border and crown band are of very fine hand-sewed black straw. As to the three snug-fitting types shown, they also are French models. The attractive little hat at the top is one of those close-fitting turbans draped of lace straw, a type which is quite the ideal of la Parisienne. The cap with the bow at the back (centered to the left) is significant in that it has a wide cuff formed of small velvet flowers, and "they say" flowers will be in evidence to a greater extent than for many seasons past. The smart tan beret below is a typical sports model. It is crocheted as is also its matching scarf. There is a fitted band of self-colored grosgrain ribbon. Not only is the little hand-crocheted tam or beret in fashion, but toques draped of wide crochet straw banding are very popular. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

The man whose brilliance of wit and compelling charm of anecdote, woven into stories on every current topic, turned baseball slang into classic Americanese. Lardner's genius was never better expressed than in the adventures of baseball's most celebrated "bonehead," Jack Keefe, in "You Know Me, Al" REDUCE OVERSEA TELEPHONE RATES Transatlantic Phone Calls Cost $15.00 Less A reduction of $15.00 on all transatlantic telephone calls has been announced by officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Ohio patrons may call London for $33.00 under the new plan, whereas the former rate called for $48.00. Additional minute charges have been reduced $8.00 and report charges $2.00. Rate to points to the continent of Europe are re- duced the same amount. On the basis of last year's transatlantic telephone messages, the reduction will mean a saving to patrons using the service of ap- proximately $450,000 a year. Transatlantic telephone conversations averaged about 50 per business day in 1929. Increased use of the service is the chief factor enabling the American Telephone and Telegram Company to place the new reduction, the third since the service was opened to 1927, into effect. In 1928, the average calls per day increased 357 per cent over 1927. Last year the increase was about 60 per cent over 1928. All points reached by transatlantic telephone service are affected by the reduction.

In 1882, A. J. Richards, druggist, ordered telephone number one. His order for the city's 5.000th instrument comes 48 years afterward. Marietta is a thriving exchange of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, located on the Ohio river. It was the first town in Ohio and among the first to have telephone service. In March, 1876, the first complete sentence was transmitted over the telephone by its inventor, Alexander Graham Bell. Six years later the telephone came to Marietta.
