GRAND OPERA SEASON. The Eighth Annual Spring Festival in Cleveland of the Metropolitan Opera Company of N. Y. City to Be the Greatest Ever—Best Singers in the World to Render the Most Time- Characterized by the most distinguished cast and the most unusual series of grand operas ever presented in six days anywhere in the world, the repertoire for the eighth annual spring festival in Cleveland by the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York has been announced for April 27 to 2 in our big Public Auditorium. Outstanding in the announcement of the eight operas is the first appearance here in opera of the season by the writer of the Cleveland premiere of Lily Pons, the sensational little coloratura from France; and the premiere here of Grace Moore, American soprano. Of unusual interest are the novelties included for the season, among them the Deems Taylor opera, "Peter Betelson," which is sung in English by a cast headed by Lucrezia Bori, Edward Johnson, Lawrence Tilhart, the original singers at the world premiere in New York last month. Mme. Jeritza will be heard twice, in the title roles of "Tosca" and of "Carmen." Rosa Ponselle, great Cleveland favorite, will also sing twice, in "Norma" and in "La Traviata," the latter on in "La Traviata," the latter on in "Mme. Bori will make two appearances, in "Mignon" as in "Mignon," and in "Mignon." Mme. Ponselle will have three roles, in "Mignon," "Rigololet" and "Lucia di Lammermoor."

(Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Mr. Rosenwald has done much good for our people in the South where it is impossible for them to get a square deal. His hospitals and schools are of much value. We believe Mr. Rosenwald's heart is right in his benefactions, but some one is leading him wrong in attempting to get him to build separate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built to accommodate many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these separate hospitals. There is no need for them here and these physicians should know that they are just as unacceptable as their "race hospital ideas" are. In Jersey City, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the finest and best equipped hospitals in this country. In these hospitals no discrimination is shown. In 1995, a known physician, Dr Peter F. Ghee, has been appointed on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hospital. Young Dr. Ghee is a graduate of Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University College department. By his ability, students have worked himself up to the leading places in these hospitals. It is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "jim-crow" hospitals. Only physicians of known ability practice and operate in first-class hospitals. Our people have been made the stalking way for our unprepared physicians to do their butchering. It may be concluded that, when one hears a loud noise about establishing some particular place for some colored professional man to ply his trade, there is in the background incompetency, self-fitness and graft. Our physicians can be as well equipped as any other physician, if they would only take time and money and prepare themselves. There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's", etc., because they are not prepared to ploy their trade or enter "Y's" among men of standing and first-class dual- DR. DETT AND HIS CHOIR From Hampton Institute, Va., Broad cast and Concert With Great Success—The Outstanding Musical Event of the Season. A reception was tendered Dr. Robert Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampton Institute chair, in the foyer of Public Music Hall, Thursday evening, before the concert hour. One of the most interested attendants upon the outstanding music of the group, Goff (white) of the Cleveland Trust Co., whose father helped Dett financially (not so very many years ago) thru Oberlin Conservatory of Music, having learned of the young man's ambitions when the latter was a bell-boy in the Niagara Falls hotel at Buffalo. Mr. Goff is a son of F. H. Goff deceased) founder of the Buffalo Music Hall. Dett is the composer of the famous "Juba Dance" which is a part of his suite. "From the Bottoms." It is hardly necessary to add that the choir's splendid entertainment was a success, artistically and financially. The forty-five piece choruschoir was heard over WTAM for fifteen minutes, from 4:30 to 5 o'clock. Thursday afternoon, Dr. Pretzel presented the program included a number of Russian folk songs as well as some of our spirituals and some classical selections, all admirably rendered. AN ANTI-LXNCHING BILL Soon to Be Introduced by Our First Michigan State Senator—To Be Like Ohio's Pioneer Law. Lansing, Mich., Mar. 11, '31. Mr. Dear Mr. Smith:—I want to thank you for sending me a copy of The Gazette, containing an article regarding the resolution I introduced, recently by the Senate. Could you get for me a copy of the anti-lynching bill, you introduced some years ago in Ohio now 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 NEWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great number of persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too --- Dr. William A. Byrd. many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient people, simply money out of them. A very little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and many of them are not third grade pupils in grammar schools. These race-churches, like what physicians call "race" hospitals, are doing more to television than "Negro" ministers and physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races. (Rev.) Wm. A. W. A. "Ohio's Mob Violence Act"? We need such a law in Michigan, and I intend to see if I can have one passed this term. Thanking you for your attention in this matter, and assuring you of my appreciation, I am Sincerely yours, Charles A. Roxborough. Cleveland, O., Mar. 12, '31. Senator Chas. A. Roxborough. Lansing, Michigan. Dear Senator: I am glad you received the copy of the Gazette we sent you even if you did not read it carefully. Of course, you are a busy man and undoubtedly accounts for the failure to do so. Of course, you are on the second page of each copy of my paper, sent to you just what you want—"Ohio" Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law"; also the Ohio Civil Rights law which I introduced and secured the enactment of. This latter in 1894. You please me very much indeed with the statement that you intend to introduce an anti-lynching bill. I wish you every success and shall be glad to do anything I can to help you in the effort. I believe you will succeed, too. I want to call your attention particularly to the editorial in our current issue, a copy of which will be mailed to you, to-day, touching this matter of anti-lynch-murder legislation. It will interest you particularly, at this time. With best wishes, I am sincerely, Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. P.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1931. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to a long-time friend, Chas. E. A. Hunt of Cincinnati, for "Pullman Facts, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10," very pretty, exceptionally well illustrated and interesting small pamphlets. Friend Hunt has been in the service of the Pullman Company for more than a quarter of a century—a faithful and dependable employee, and holds a very responsible position. He is too, one of our most active church lodge and civic workers in the for mer "Queen City of the West." The lake-front stadium is going to cost twice the $2,500,000 voted by the people. This seems perfectly clear already. ALL that the Cleveland Baseball club may have a larger and better place in which to play. Now watch that business organization, operating the club, not only save the taxes on its present site but load that property on the city ere' long, and pay a stadium rental annually less than the taxes it pays on its present ball-ground. This will be fine for the Bradley brothers and others who compose the Cleveland Baseball Co., but precious poor business for the tax-payers of the city of Cleveland. Here is another opening for "The Blossom Triplets." State Prohibition Director Clarence Sears frankly reports that he is displacing Republicans with Democrats in his department because he prefers Democrats to Republicans. One cannot help admiring his frankness and loyalty to his party. If only our local Republicans would take a tip from Sears and clean out the many Democrats and "Hopkins Republicans" who actively labored to destroy the local Republic organization, two years ago, we would have a much brighter chance of success, this coming fall. Then let only one political job be held by a single family and its relatives. Fully 300 to 500 jobs would thus immediately become available for that many of the faithful among the unemployed. Wake up! local Republicans, ere it is too late! Presidential election, next year, too! Also, we sorely need a morning Republican paper in Cleveland! HEFLIN AND BLEASE. It seems that U. S. Senator "Tom-Tom" Heflin of Alabama, Ku Klux Klan orator and "Negro"-hater deluxe, was attacked, suddenly, with laryngitis while delivering his "swan song" in the dying hours of the recent Congress. He was, as usual, scolding—scolding Ex-Gov. Al Smith of New York, latest Democratic candidate for President, and John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee. The Alabama "cracker," who is so violently anti-Catholic, anti "Negro" and anti-Jew, as well as opposed to citizens of foreign birth holding public office, represented or rather misrepresented that state for six years in the U. S. House of Representatives and eleven years in the U. S. Senate. What we started out to say was, there are those who insist that "Tom-Tom" voice went back on him, seventeen years too late. This same thing, but in a little different way, might be said by the same people of Ex-U. S. Senator Cole Bleasen of South Carolina, another violent "Negro"-hater, whom report has it is losing his sight since the adjournment of the Congress. ANTI-LYNCH-MURDER LAWS. One by one, northern states and a few southern states have followed the lead of Ohio in enacting mob-violence acts or anti-lynching laws. The latest to do so is the state of Indiana. Quite a majority of northern states now have such a law. This is really the only solution of the mob-violence or lynch-murder problem because as long as the South has such commanding influence with the Republican majorities in the U. S. House of Representatives and Senate no anti-mob-violence or anti-lynch-murder law will ever be enacted. This, The Gazette made clear, years ago, when the N. A. A. C. P. secured the introduction of its first anti-lynching bill. For making this statement we were severely criticized at the time, but criticisms gradually grew less in number until they were practically stopped, several years ago. Naturally we are very proud of being the "daddy" of Ohio's pioneer Mob-Violence or Anti-Lynching law. "NO_RACE_PROBLEM"? Ohio's splendid secretary of state, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, speaking at Wilberforce University, in recent weeks, expressed the opinion that "there is no race problem, as all peoples have the same desires, ambitions and aspirations." That's all right, "Brother" Brown—about what people have in the way of "desires, ambitions and aspirations." There is nothing to prevent their having them, of course, but exercising them is quite another matter, and that is where the problem enters. The restrictions placed upon Afro-Americans who would carry out their "desires, ambitions and aspirations" along civil-rights and citizen-privilleges lines are what make the problem very largely, and it is a great big one, too. Secretary Brown has only to black his face and hands, and start out to exercise some of his "desires, ambitions and aspirations" to get a practical experience that will convince him of the fact that there is a real race problem. ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE! Sheriff Davenport Shot to Death— The Ralls Cases Before Court—One Tried. Bucyrus, O.—Introduction of testimony, by which the state hopes to send Blanton Ralls to the electric chair for the murder of Sheriff George Davenport, started, Wednesday. The jury consists of three women and ten men, chosen late Tuesday. Forfeiture of Blanton's life will be demanded with that of his uncle, Walter Ralls, now awaiting prosecution. Prosecutors say because Blanton is alleged to have joined a conspiracy to resist the law by force of arms and, by his own admission, carried to the place of ambush the gun with which Walter shot the sheriff. As in the trial of Walter Ralls, last week, defense attorneys late today attacked the indictment under which both men are tried on the ground it failed to prove. The jury, the most serious offense it charges is shooting to kill. Judge Allt took the motion attacking the indictment under advisement. TRIED STONE CHURCH NEWS. Services were well attended, Sunday, and the pastor preached a splendid sermon. The choir sang several beautiful new songs. In the afternoon, several persons accompanied the pastor to Kent where he preached in Union Baptist church. In the afternoon, he enjoyed musical program, Sunday afternoon, and the junior church and choir accompanied the junior pastor, Rev. Jno. Harris, to Messiah Baptist church. At night, Rev. Jas. Smith preached a sermon on the passage in scripture: "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. T.oyer was offered by Rev. W. Hudson." It will be a pleasant surprise to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Smith, E. 59th St., to learn of the engagement of their niece, Ramona Moss. Miss Moss is the owner of Mr. and Mrs. J. Warrick. The wedding will take place early in the summer. Miss Moss is one of the faithful workers in Tried Stone among the younger set. Both young people are very well known in Cleveland. Mr. Lynton was lately licensed in Tried Stone as a minister. TELL IT, BROTHER, TELL IT! Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My Dear Mr. Smith:—I may be wrong, but it seems to me that some men of color think that someone ought to "hand them something." Please tell them, thrue the columns of The Gazette, that the days have gone forever when a man of "Negro" descent could go around with his "hat in hand" and solicit crumbs that fall from some white man's table. Tell them that we have got to fight our own bane and not go around whining about that "won't give us." Then, too, some people are foolish enough to think that white folk owe them something and are interested in the suffering of the masses of our people. Louis A.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 14. 1931 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 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 very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6280. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal rep. 6283. Person suffering death or injury 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and co. 6286. Guardian's quastory, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against 6288.

I'll SAY I DO AND HOW --- HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER THE NEW YORK TIMES WHAT'S DOING! One day last week was "Col." Sidney B. Thompson's "57th birthday," so he informed his many friends and acquaintances. Some of them say they are still wondering if the "Colonel!" made a mistake, and reversed the figures. How about it, Syd, and where are The Rounder's cigars? The annual loss thru operating the Clifton-Carnegie bus line is $125,000. They plan to save $75,000 of this tremendous loss by making E. 22d St. the eastern terminus of the line, and substituting single for double-ink coaches, except during rush hours. Hardly any of the bus lines pay anything and nearly all, if not all, are financial losses to the street-car riders of the city. All of them in the city-limits ought to be discontinued and others permitted to run them, outside of the city. This would save to the people of Cleveland several hundred thousand dollars or more, annually. New Jobs Secured! "Although losses were sustained by local Afro-Americans in 1930, it is interesting to note that there was an increase in special employment requiring special training," writes Gordon H. Simpson in a local daily newspaper. Continuing he writes: "of work centered in 1930 include. One deputy city clerk, deputy city treasurer, one junior civil service examiner, one superintendent of garbage collection, one guard at Warrensville correction farm, one stenographer county commissioner's office, one worker county child welfare committee, one parole officer, state penal institution; one U. S. deputy marshal; one stenographer, U. S. veterans' bureau; one student nurses, City hospital; one investigator in bureau of domestic relations, three junior high school teachers, one domestic science teacher, junior high school; one substitute teacher, junior high school; one worker in community center work, board of education; one assistant in city branch library six social workers, increase in hotel and restaurant workers, one manager of others in training for this work, as well as numerous other less important gains." Nearly all of the foregoing positions were acquired with the assistance (direct or indirect) of the local Republican organization, and a few, independent of politics. This year (1931), thus far, several positions for Democrats, viz. two deputies for the Republican woman) in the sheriff's office; and one deputy municipal court clerkship, have been secured, thus far.

Candidate for Alderman. When News Travelled More Slowly Although newspaper reporters in Ohio and all over the world find the telephone indispensable in gathering news of the day and communicating it to their newspaper offices, the reporter who first used the instrument for this purpose died only recently in Salem, Mass., according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. The late Henry M. Batcheler telephoned the first story in 1877 to the Boston Globe from Salem, where he was the newspaper's correspondent. It was an account of a lecture by Alexander Graham Bell on the then new invention, the telephone. very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BS. nd. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commended 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 6283. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in succeeding tax law for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any place. A person lynching such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the 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 an unauthorized allegation of the officials of such county in falling to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons appropriate to all laws, to allow or disallow of race, color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the country where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Oblate Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

The Gazette calls the attention of all of our people of the community particularly to the financial statement of the Empire Savings & Loan Co., published elsewhere in this paper. We want all to read it carefully and to call the attention of others in this community to it. It was made after a state examiner had gone carefully over all of the books of the company and is being published in compliance with a law of the state. Therefore the department has the best kind of assurance of the sound financial standing and condition of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. all of our people of this community could possibly have, and ought to be all they should want. It is an official statement backed by the great state of Ohio and should stop, once and for all, the invidious criticism and other harmful talk so many have indulged in too freely in the last few months, the outgrowth of a mistake of one of the company's employees and the recent suit of a dissatisfied depositor who didn't get what he wanted when he mistakenly said that he was doubtless made port of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. and there will be absolutely no ground in the future for invidious comment, harmful talk and ill-advised action. It will mean greater achievement and more success for the Empire Savings & Loan Co. and our people of this community.

Mr. Conners announced that he is going to talk about old amounts standing citizens of Cleveland which will develop much valuable and very interesting reminiscence of historical importance. Open discussion and questions followed and closed a very enjoyable session of the Forum.

Silbert of this city has introduced House bill No. 336, in the lower branch of the State Assembly, in an effort to compensate financially Joseph Weaver whose case is still fresh in the minds of our people of this city and many throut the state. Wrongfully convicted of murder, on April 15, 1927, Weaver was immediately taken to the deathhouse in the penitentiary at Columbus, the city of his exoneration set for August 12, 1927. Weaver's case, as nearly all will remember, was carried to the Court of Appeals by Attys, Nathan Cook and Wm. Marsteller who appeared four times in his behalf; then to the Supreme Court of the state, appearing before that august body five times, the case finally being remanded to the Common Pleas court for a new trial. In the second trial Alex. Maynor, the state's only witness in the case, was commissioned murderer serving a life testified under oath that he had lied on Weaver in the first trial, implicating him in order to save himself from the electric chair. Thus Weaver was convicted, sitting in Cleveland by assignment, to bring in a verdict with the crime. Joe was discharged on August 12, 1927, when twenty-two months in the deathhouse in the penitentiary in Columbus. If ever the great state of Ohio owes anybody this, surely is heavily indebted to Joseph Weaver, not only for the time lost in the penitentiary, but also for the mental suffering he sustained during that long period—something it is simply impossible to express in words, a most harrowing experience. The only wonder is that the man lived thru it all—twenty-two months in the Columbus, in the electricution, something simply nerve-wrecking to even contemplate. Surely there is not an Ohio legislator who would hesitate for a single moment to vote to compensate Weaver, or any other innocent citizen of the great state of Ohio who had been forced thru such a miserable ordeal by the laws of the state, and we say this in the light of an exoneration that august body, the State Assembly of Ohio. Representative Silbert is entitled to unstinted praise, and the unqualified support of all, for LIFE'S LITTLE JOKES—NUMBER 798,351 A.

Methods of precision manufacture are so highly developed in the telephone industry that many parts never vary even minutely in size, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. In the telephone receiver, for instance, there is a tiny gap between the magnet and the iron disk which transforms electrical impulses into spoken words. In millions of receivers this space never varies by so much as "the thickness of a bee's wing." It is now possible to reach 32,-500,000 telephones in 31 countries from any telephone in Ohio. To hold a three-minute conversation with every one of these telephones would take three lifetimes. There are approximately 83,000,000 miles of telephone wire and 2,300,000 miles of telegraph wire in the United States. Part of this wire is in underground cable. The rest is supported by 30,000,000 telephone poles and 11,000,000 telegraph poles. CON- GRATULATIONS! THREE OF THEM!
