Two and Maybe Three of Our Girls to Enter the City Hospital, This Month—Some Very Valuable Information Given By Dr. Thomas. Sept. 9, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—Here is the result of the recent selection of our girls to enter the nursing class at the local City hospital, Sept. 29, '30: 'Cora McDonald, age 23, a graduate of E. Tech, high school, residing at 2314 E. 101st st., and Edna Wooley, age 20, a graduate of E. Tech., residing at 4915 Pontiac Ave. Anna Lane, age 20, a graduate Richmond Ky., residing at 2188 E. 39th st., qualified high but up to date has not sent in her records. This young lady should do so before Sept. 20, '30, so she can enter the class. Her primary educational standing and her grades in all schools are over 82. Anna Alden, age 17, has accepted for the January, 1931, class, because she is not 18 years of age. She is a graduate of the Anna, Ohio, high school. Esther Patrick, age 19, the only Central high graduate who made a favorable impression, would have been accepted but her high school was Rev. H.C. Beller's own daughter. The nursing school wants students who are healthy and who have finished high school with an average grade of 80. The time to get applications to enter the class of January, 1931, is **NOW!** Write to the Superintendent of Nurses, City Hospital, Scranton Rd., S. W., Cleveland, O., and get application blanks. The young women enrolled were from Cleveland and Annap, Richmond, Ky. This policy will be followed in all future selections of student nurses. So the school is open to our girls (qualified) from any state in the country. Central high school should have a graduate in the January, 1931, class. Can "Central" make the grade? Graduate nurses from Freedom hospital, Washington, D.C., are now employed. City hospital and the superintendent commends their excellent work. It was the lack of proper training in required compulsory subjects that disqualified most of the 33 young women who made application to enter City hospital nursing class. Therefore, it is necessary that our girls should know what studies are compulsory. Here is the list: BIOLOGY, BRAIN-RELATIONOLOGY, DIET, HYGIENE AND SANITATION, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, HOME-ECONOMICS AND MODERN LANGUAGES; THAT IS, LATIN, FRENCH OR SPANISH, and ENGLISH. These subjects are compul- FIGHT-FIASCO. HIGHLY HONORED. President Wilkinson Our Only Representative in "Who Is Who in America;" a Recent Publication. Orangeburg, S. C — An article appeared in The Columbia State, record of leading publications, South Carolina, under the caption, "Edition for 1930-31 Members of Who is Who in America." It brought out the fact that this state had on the roster of this famed publication 351 persons born in South Carolina, 29 of whom gave their addresses in the present location in this state. One of its important features was the fact that Dr. Robert S. Wilkinson. included among the Orangeburg county group was the name of Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of State College, located here. In this, Orangeburg county, only three persons had been awarded this high distinction, two of whom were white, President Wilkinson being the only one of the honors. This particular information was brought to the minds of the student body in attendance at the extension course and brought forth loud applause and favorable comment. Our people of Orangeburg and the state of South Carolina should feel it is an honor that one of our sons of this state have attained such a marked recognition, eminence and honor. A MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR Enjoyed by the Great C. & B. Line Says Gm. Mgr. Swartz-Gen. Pass. Agt. Kauffmann's Announcement. According to P. J. Swartz, general manager of The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Co., it has enjoyed a most successful season because lake rates have been reduced considerably and steamer travel is more enjoyable now than ever before. The finest slew wheel passenger steamer on the great lakes, the great ship, "SEEANDBEE", is operated by the C. & B. Line. Mr. Swartz also says that the freight traffic for August shows a decided increase over the shipments in June and July and that the increase in freight shipments is a splendid indication of improving business conditions. H. V. Kauffmann, general passenger agent, announced that although the C. & B. Line "Cruise de Luxe," a delightful five- day -sightseeing-tour to Sault St. Marie, Chicago, Mackinac Island and return, will climax the 100 lake ours, will operate the 100 lake we operate steamer each way every night between Cleveland and Buffalo until Nov. 15th.

D. 2406 E. 40th St. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OF THE MANY LIKE AFFAIRS EVER HELD IN THIS CITY AND ELSEWHERE In the Country in Recent Years—Referee Haley Raw —Thompson and His Manager Conun- drums—8 to 7 Rounds. Stuart Bell, a sport writer of The Cleveland (O.) Daily Press, in last Saturday's issue of that paper, had in his account of the Thompson- Preeman fight disco the following very significant paragraphs, the consensus on opinion: dressing-room, when he had a chance to think things over, Jack opined that the reason he had voiced the aforementioned sentiments was because he didn't want to start any trouble, adding that he thought he had won. "Young Jack Thompson, from Oakland, Cal., had a difficult time transferring his welterweight crown from his own head to that of Tommy Freeman, the Hot Springs, Ark. pugilist at League park. With the aid of a sufficient decision by Referee Joe York, the deed finally was accomplished. Slightly more than 12,000 fans, who paid $50,000 to see Cleveland's first championship ring battle in nine years, formed a crowd largely partisan to Freeman. Many of those who sat with their noses bout to the resin declared after the pugilist had defended his title successfully. Apparently a tip got out at the eleventh hour that Freeman was the likely winner, for thousands of dollars were bet on the challenger between 7 and 8 o'clock, many of the bets being made in the lobby of a downtown hotel, where the boys carried their hands looking for Thompson more. "The scorecards of many of the newspaper present differed slightly in the number of rounds awarded each fighter, but most of them gave Thompson the larger number. Our tally, totaled immediately after Haley had unhesitatingly raised Freeman's hand, showed six rounds for Thompson, four for Freeman and five even. The Thompson, the eleventh, 10th, 11th and 15th, Freeman's, the first, sixth, seventh and 12th. Flashing a whirlwind attack at the start of many of the rounds which invariably subsided to a crawl and missing enough right-hand upercasts to knock out a regiment, the champion looked anything but the highly touted piece of fighting machinery he had been heralded. Freeman at times was terribly slow and Thompson, advertised as a Pavlova, allowed right down to Tommy's pace and allowed him to swarm all the challenger. That was the hardest thing to understand about the fight. And Ray Alvis, his portly pilot, did not seem to be worried much over Thompson's progress and even after Haley had awarded the bout to Freeman, Alvis appeared a meek antithesis to the belligerent person he was evening before when he threatened to withdraw Thompson's $2500 forfeit if the prejudice was free whom he said disliked him also (presumably Patsy Haley) was selected by the Cleveland Boxing Commission. "Despite a great inaccuracy in punching and a seeming lack of stamina, Thompson landed oftener and more cleanly than Freeman, was the better blocker and scored the only knockdown of the fight. I thought at times that Thompson might immediately hard to figure why he would want to knock Freeman and lose his title. There were times when the Arkansas seemed on the way out of the picture. Thompson had Freeman in a bad way in the second, battered him with both hands in the fifth and in the eighth slowed the challenger down to a whisper with a two-fisted barrage of punches to the stomach up and grabbing for the challenger arms. In the 10th he sent Tommy spinning back on his heels with a stiff right hand to the chin. Perhaps the blow was a mistake, for the champion failed to follow his advantage, stepping back instead of crowding in to try for a finishing blow. The scoreboards of many of the newspapermen present differed slightly, with the awards awarded each fighter, but most of them gave Thompson the larger number." "Franklin Lewis, another sport writer on the same paper, claims Thompson won eight rounds, Freeman six rounds and one even. And says that Thompson was undoubtedly entitled to the decision or a draw: "Jack himself said, in the ring immediately after the bout, that he had no complaint to make because he had not played in championship, on a decision, and proclaimed Freeman, a game guy and a great and clean fighter" when he congratulated him. Later, in his 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 NEWWIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

"Thompson delivered the cleaner punches in my estimation. The rights which bounced off the Freeman chin were more true in direction, more telling in effect. In close, Thompson was clearly the master, thumping right and left uppercuts to his opponent's head and body in pump-like fashion. The lone knockdown of the encounter was redefined as the son left-hook found its mark on Freeman's jaw and the Arkansan spun around and went down. He appeared to be in good shape, however, and came to his feet after a count of six. Tommy came back fighting and nearly earned a draw by his fast finish. Freeman slowed down considerably in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth heats, mostly under a body barrage by Thompson. The colored flash boxed well and thumped a long overhand right to Freeman's head in the same manner he'd on Jackie Fields when the latter tossed over his diadem in Detroit last spring. "We scored credits for Freeman in the last five, which would have given him six rounds to eight. That would have meant an edge for Jack, or at best, figuring Tommy to have excelled in his winning chapters over Thompson in the outwatc in front, a draw verdict. The cards, rounds, were stacked for Tommy Freeman. Freeman still had Park dealt off a perfect hand under the floodlights in League Park. I didn't pay him homage, and won't for a while, because I think Young Jack Thompson still is the world wetterweight champion. Sue me if you don't like to see a colored fellow with the title, squawk if you think I'm prejudiced, but I thought Thompson, fighting one of the worst rights of his career, still beat Freeman right. Strangely, neither did any other new player in ringside see Freeman a winner, with the exception of one or two. I thot Thompson won eight rounds, Freeman five and two were even. Among those who agreed with me that Thompson won were Ed Bang and Dan Taylor, Cleveland Dial News; Harry Keck, Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph; Frank MacDonnell, Detroit Francis Sam Greene, Detroit News; Charles D琳 Lee, Associated Press; Charlee D琳 Lee, Associated Press and Stuart Bell, Cleveland Press, Yeah, the cards were stacked for Freeman. Maybe I'm wrong and he won the fight. But he didn't show it. Freeman revealed absolutely no joy at the decision. Thompson appeared satisfied with the decision and walked to a microphone to say: that the decision was fair. "Ray Alvis, Thompson's manager, didn't squawk to Referee Haley. Neither Thompson. Both seemed to take the decision as part of the entertainment. Thompson acknowledged defeat after the decision had been rendered. Walking over to congratulate the man who had sent him into the class of ex-champions, Thompson said: 'You're a good boy, Tommy, and you won the fight, Good luck to you.'" The fact is, Thompson won eight rounds—the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, tenth and eleventh rounds. While Freeman took the first, seventh, ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth. It was in the second round that he put Tommy on the floor for the count of six with two vicious left hooks to the chin, and in the tenth he buckled Tommy's knees a moment before the bell with a right to the point of the chin, sending him shake to his corner. However, Tompson, who presented the straight spectacle of leaving the ring without a mild protest over the decision that cost him his championship, realized only $28,000 for his night's work, that champions have looked upon as a gum money in recent years. Thompson got 55 per cent of the gate after the boxing commission's 6 per cent was deducted and Freeman's 5 per cent or $2300. If Thompson had won he would have received only 50 per cent and Freeman would have received 10. Haley, who gave the decision, is remembered here principally for (Continued on Page 2.)

The impending presidential or national campaign has been heralded already (as usual) by a marked increase in the number of lynchmurders in the South.

Byrnes of Spartanburg will be South Carolina's junior senator and the blazing Blease comet of glory drops. Even South Carolina Democrats are tired of him, weary of his sound and fury. A hard-hitting opponent has convinced them that most of Blease's bombast is bunk. Blease is down and probably out. THOMPSON-FREEMAN BOUT We believe that there was something wrong (the usual “wrong”) with the Jack Thompson - Tommy Freeman pugilistic encounter in this city at American League park, last week Friday night. There can be no question as to this if what most of the newspaper men, from the various parts of the country, present at the fight say is true, and that is, that Jack Thompson was “framed.” About everything in connection with it seems to indicate that “the stage was all set” to hand Tommy Freeman Jack Thompson’s welter-weight title, and it was done. Tommy McGinty, who promoted the fight, is part-manager of Freeman. Patsy Haley, who was brot from New York by President Edwin D. Barry and the Cleveland Boxing commission to referee the fight, sure “delivered the goods” with about as little excuse for doing so as has been furnished in many of the pugilistic contests in this city and elsewhere that ended with the same kind of a questionable decision. But what we dislike even more than the alleged result of the contest was the part that Jack Thompson played in the affair. It is clear that he did not put up the fight that all expected, even tho he did win the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, tenth and eleventh rounds, according to the great majority of newspaper sport-writers in their accounts of the bout. This includes, of course, his knock-down of Tommy Freeman for the count of six in round two and his “buckling Freeman’s knees” in round ten. But what leaves such an awful bad taste in one’s mouth is the fact that Jack walked over to his opponent, at the conclusion of the fifteenth round, and “acknowledged his defeat,” after the ridiculous “decision” had been rendered by Haley, saying: “You’re a good boy, Tommy, and you won the fight. Good luck to you.” Then walked to the microphone and said: “I that the decision was fair.” Later, in his dressing room, Jack is quoted as saying that he had voiced the aforementioned sentiments because he didn’t want to start any trouble, adding that he that he had won. There was absolutely no indication, possibility or probability of any trouble, and there was absolutely no excuse for his saying what he said to Freeman and in the microphone, especially if he that he had won, something he had done as a matter of fact. There has been plenty of criticism of his lack of sustained aggressiveness throut the fight and of his “missing enough right-hand uppercuts to knock out a regiment.” These things don’t look good. And then to top it all, "apparently a tip got out at the eleventh hour that Freeman was to be the winner, for thousands of dollars were bet on the challenger between 7 and 8 o'clock," last week Friday evening before the fight, many of the bets being made in the lobby of a down-town hotel where much money was flashed in the faces of Thompson fight-fans. More, Ray Alvis, Thompson's manager, let out an awful squawk, the night before the fight, over the impending selection of Patsy Haley as referee, saying he would withdraw his $2500 forfeit rather than to submit to the selection of a man that "disliked" him, etc. Then, too, the belief that Patsy Haley, the referee, was prejudiced seems to have been held, generally. Nevertheless, when informed the next day, last week Friday afternoon, of Patsy's selection by the Cleveland Boxing commission and asked by its chairman if he had any objections to the selection, Alvis replied in the negative. This only adds to the extremely bad taste the Thompson-Freeman fight has left in the mouths of all of our people and about all of the fair-minded and honest of the other group. That Jack Thompson and his manager, Ray Alvis, as well as Referee Patsy Haley and Tommy Freeman's part-manager, Tommy McGinty, are all open to a great deal of criticism goes without saying. Yes, Patsy Haley was Santa Claus for Freeman and McGinty, last week Friday night, as far as the welter-weight title and all that goes with it, in at least the near future, is concerned, and we are not sure that his most questionable decision has not proven a Christmas gift to others. A VISION Sometimes a vision flashes out to me Of more abundant life that is to be; It may be when some woe-worn face has smiled; Or when, ere the day's dawning, sweet and clear; A bird-song breaks on my dream- drowry ear; Or when has laughed a happy little child.— Sometimes a vision flashes out to me Of more abundant life that is to be! Anon, it is when in some squallid place A lovely blossom lifts its tiny face; A mother's lullaby at twilight time; A night-star's glow from heaven's deeper hue; The rainbow mirrored in a drop of dew; The Sabbath-morning bells' uplifting chime,— Sometimes a vision flashes out to me Of more abundant life that is to be! Then all the present things that hurt and vex. The questionings that trouble and perplex. For a brief moment seem to fade away; And the swift glimpse of life's full treasure-trove, Its unspent wealth of beauty, joy, and love, Give surety of the coming "Better day,"— Sometimes a vision flashes out to me Of more abundant life that is to be!

Little Rock, Ark. June 16, '25. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—Long live the Gazette! a welcome friend to the Ricks-Demby family for forty-three years. We boast of being among the oldest continuous subscribers of the Gazette—not the largest but the best in essentials and the most dependable of race journals. Wishing you continued good health and success, we are as ever. Very truly yours. (Bishop) Edward T. and Nettle M. Demby. CHAMPION? The Freeman-Thompson fight was as interesting for the spectators as fights usually get. It continued fast for all 15 rounds, with the climax of interest in the 11th and 12th. There was no holding back nor holding on. Except for a little counting in the second round and the business of the fight, there was no need of a referee in the ring. Considering the fight purely as a spectacle, the customers got their money's worth. But looking at the event as the transfer of a championship from one fighter to another, it was not satisfactory. The experts of two out of three Cleveland newspapers express the opinion that the defending champion was entitled to a draw or better. It is the opinion of Stuart Bell and Franklin Lewis of The Press, to whose discussions this defender has contributed, that Thompson, not Freeman, won. It is an extraordinary thing for a championship to change hands in such a close contest. It is hard to escape the conclusion that either or both of two circumstances helped to produce this result. And there may have been others. Circumstance one is that Thompson has a darker skin than Freeman, a circumstance that inclines a crowd of spectators predominantly white to overlook other circumstances to a dark-skinned fighter's disadvantage. Circumstance two is that the promoter of the fight and the manager of the challenger, now the champion, were the same person. The Boxing Commission should never permit this latter circumstance to be duplicated in a Cleveland ring. Every fight in which the management is mixed up with the management of a contest is open to suspicion. The possibility that the suspicion might not be well-founded in some cases is all the more reason why apparent grounds for it should be avoided.—Editorial in The Cleveland Daily Press, Sept. 6, '30. REV. G. J. THOMAS WAS WRONG Says His Successor as President of the Congressional Workers Cleveland, Sept. 10, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. My dear Mr. Smith:—I write to say I heartily concur with your editorial of last week concerning that person of the late Rev. G. J. Thomas of Winston-Salem N. C., at The National Convention of Congregational Workers meeting here. I expressed the opinion that same night as properly as I knew, being the host to the visitors, that such statements did not represent at least Mount Zion and the people of Cleveland. I may be informed to know that I had the pleasure of being elected president of the convention to succeed Mr. Thomas and assure you that the opposite is my policy. I believe very firmly that not only have white people and colored people represented each other in different capacities in this country but also that I think that is as it should be where the representatives have expressed them as their choice. Very sincerely yours, (Rev.) Russell S. Brown, Pastor, Mount Zion Temple. ```markdown ``` Compare Our Prices Hland-East Market at HAND-EAST 55TH ST Friday and Saturday, Se 3 for 25c 3 lbs, 25c 4½ pound sack COFFEE, F pound RICE, Fancy PROCERY—Units 53, 24-oz. 10c 18c HMAL- ) lb... 19c 38 17c lb... 12½c well sea- ) lb... 18c unit 26 23c 21c 15c I, any 25c BUTTER, O EGGS, per CHEESE—M O P EDWARD BEEF ROAST Pr RE STEAK—S Ni SA PICNICS, S cured, BACON, Sug breakfa PURE LARD WEINERS, FRED or "55" 2 cans 85c ND 3-4 7s 2lb. 39c in qt. 35c (5c)... 19c Unit 18 FRESH CAU FRESH CAU Clams for FISI The Woodland-E.55th St. WOODLAND-EAST 55TH STREET Food Specials for Friday an Food Specials for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12th and 13th DUDNIK GROCERY—Units 53, 54, 55, 56, 57 BREAD—Our own make, large 24-oz. loaf ..... 10c SUGAR ROLLS, per dozen ..... 18c COOKIES, COCOANUT, MARSHMAL: CORNMEAL, any kind, 6 pounds ..... 23c PASTRY FLOUR, 5-lb. sack ..... 21c PEANUTS, Fresh Roasted, 15c AMERICAN BEAUTY, RED TOP, or "55" per can—45c .....2 cans 85c MALT AND HOP STAND 3-4 PURE PRESERVES, Wiedeman's 2-lb. jar, reg. 45c for .....39c SALAD DRESSING, Big Ben, in qt. glass jars, reg. 43c for .....35c HOT PEPPERS, per qt.

But there's always Castoria! As harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. Yet its gentle action will soothe a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine. That’s the beauty of this special children’s remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant —as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it- is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don’t eat well, don’t rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that’s needed. 7, i.

We are going to wear with our suits or frocks, our ensembles andl our furless coats the most fetching and the most novel fur fantasies tm: agination ean picture. ‘The fayored séarf of 1930 trends to fiat stole types. The muff which “be- longs to the set” is apt to be any shape, either a pillow type or a square affair, for perhaps round like a football, but regardless of its shape it is almost certain to be tres petite. ‘As to scarfs even the simplest types have a jauntiness and a style all thelr own such as lends an alr of ‘Galineiien to. any coethine with which tn cneens oe recs weaves. In the fashionable world no theme in point of importance and Antriguing interest out-ranks that of the new woolens. Their daintiness, thelr sheerness, the lacy texture of some of them, their novel nubbings and fleckings and ingenious pattero- ings make one feel that in their weav- ing almost miracles are taking place. Every costume requirement, so far as texture and effect is concerned, is met in the woolens of today. No mat- ter how dressy, no matter how sportsy there's a woolen weave for every occasion. The range includes ‘every type from wool lace as delicate ‘as a cobweb and sheer crepe as ex- quisite as chiffon to mannish woolen mixtures of infinite variety. For early fall wear, the subject up- Permost in the minds of designers is that of the daytime frock made of a novelty woolen weave. A favorite ma- terial for the dress typed to town and travel wear as well as to schoolroom and office is the woolen weave that gives the impression, when looked st casually, of being a heavy and smart tweed, but which is in reality so sheer as to be almost transparent, and hence thoroughly comfortable to wear, it may be worn. Since flat furs yield readily to fabriclike manipulatiom, the majority of fur accessory sets are fashioned of such pelts as astrakhan, Persian jamb, galyak, kidskin or la- pin in white or dyed any color desired. ‘The little fur neckplece worn with the furless cloth coat pictured is typ. feal of the trend in scarfs for fall, Being of beige galyak it enters into perfect color harmony with the coat which is styled of African brown woolen of velvety texture, In the making of this coat much attention is given to detail, which In this in stance takes the form of seamed see- tions around the Mpline, thus achiev. ing the slenderizing snug flt which is so characteristic of this season's models. { JULIA BOTTOMLEY. a ea Color mixtures contribute striking- ly ta the effect of these loose-woven tweeds. Such unusual combinations are employed as garnet, raspberry and black or perhaps a mingling of yellow, brown and green with flecks ‘ot white and black. However, not- withstanding the lure of color, the vogue for black-and-white still per- sists. Flecked, nubbed effects, broken diagonals, plaids, checks and stripes and coarse ropeyarn basket weaves are Interpreted in terms of black and white as often as they ae in color. ‘These patternings are apt to be very Indefinite or they may elect to strike a daring note after the manner of the loose-woven woolen which gives such Gistinetion to the dress pictured. In this model the stripes are interworked in a very designful way. ‘The hat which this young sophisticate wears is as interesting as the dress. It is one of the new wide brimmed felts such as milliners are showing for early fall wear. The black-and- white ensemble note ts carried out in that the crown Is black, the brim be- ing white.

Now Sell to Truckmen, Preliminary surveys by the bureau show that many farmers who former: ly hauled oF shipped produce to mar. Ket centers now sell direct to the so called truckmen-merchants. ‘These Itin: erant merchants buy supplies on spec tulation and may haul to one of a half. dozen or more consuming markets within a radius of 200 to 300 miles; or they may peddle their loads in small towns or rural districts. ‘Truck: “man-merchants in many instances make ft possible for producers to sell products of a grade and condition which {t would be impractical to ship by rail. Produce handlers in market centers complain that the marketing of these supplies has a depressing effect on prices of shipped-in produce, since it frequently results in an oversupply at the market. Business Increasing. ‘The motor truck has extended the local supply area of a market beyond the distance formerly within wagen haut and many specialized erops are now being hauled by truck from pro ducing areas for distances mp to 609 miles, ‘The truck eliminates much of the handling and re-hauling of the pro: duce on farms and in markets, ‘The business has increased tremendously in recent years, and furnishes an in creasing proportion of the market supplies. ‘The bureau Is compiling the daily motor truck receipts at several markets, and it is hoped that the pres ent survey will indicate methods of de veloping more completé market news reports on this phase of the produce taninieks.

Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the edi- tor had enac.ed while a member of the 7ist General Assembly, in 1894; ‘The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12840. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance by land or water, theater az 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, facili- ties or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not Jess than thirty days nor more than ninety days, of both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov. ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction in the county where such offense was committed. ‘This law nas repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court.

Be 5 The HAV R it Ks U waeey A N PEAS D WHAT’S DOING! Councilman Larry Payne has ask- ed Acting Police Chief George Mat- owitz to make a complete investiga tion of that letter found in the room of Elmer Coles at the Majestic Hotel which mentioned his name in ref erence to protection of racketeering in the “Roaring Third” police pre- cinet. Reference to this letter was made in our last issue. Payne said he wanted the writer of the letter found so he could have a chance to defend himself. Rich, isn't it? Cap- tain Emmett Potts was ordered by the chief to “investigate.” It is said that Mrs. Lucinda Kirk- endall has been moved down into the 11th ward to become ward lead- er of women for Councilman Larry Payne. It seems strange that that “Blossom Triplet” could not find one among the many competent wo- men of the race in that ward to serve in gat capacity, even tho Mrs, Kirkendall lived in the ward sev- eral years ago. The result is that an avalanche of invidious citicism is being Visited upon Payne and appar- ently with a good deal of reason. As in the case of Bundy and 17th ward residents, so it is in the case of Larry and 11th ward residents— so very many of the leading resi- dents of both wards are praying fer- vently for next year in the fall-time $0 come!
