After prolonged balloting, Judge Douglass of Chillicothe made a motion that Eubanks, then in the lead, be nominated by acclamation, and Longworth seconded the motion. The convention, put the motion and Eubanks was elected. There was quite a fury in the convention among some of the so-called leaders of our group, but my personal contact with Messrs, Longworth and Douglass made vicious comments. Longworth and I had more than one laugh over this piece of political strategy, and in his passing I have lost a true friend in Ohio politics. Says a Minister Speaking at the Recent Tuskegee Celebration—President Hoover's "Long Distance" Talk. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Dr. M. Ashby Jones, pastor of second BAPT church, St. Louis, speaking, Sunday, at the opening of the semi-centennial celebration of the founding of Tuskegee Institute, said both races could not make their best contributions to the nation until racial fear was removed. Dr. Jones, the son of a former army and former chairman of the racial commission, said the success of a democracy demanded freedom of individual choice at the ballot box. The South went solidly Democratic and lost its democracy, he said. The "Negro" has protested that he has little if any political freedom in the South, "but it can be said almost as truly that southern white people have more power." Dr. Jones said. The St. Louis mayor took pledge to Booker T. Washington, a leader and founder of Tuskegee. The celebration closed, Tuesday, with an address by President Hoover, relayed by wire from Washington. He said. "Within that period (since emancipation) the race has accumulated property to the value of billions, has developed a far-reaching inter-ethnic network of social economic organizations for the continued advancement of its people, has produced leadership in its walks of life that for faith, courage, devotion and patriotic loyalty ranks with all the other groups in our country."

EUBANKS BEAT RALPH TYLER In the 1904 Republican State Convention, Nicholas Longworth Helped, Says "Col." S. B. Thompson. Apr. 11. '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette Cleveland Dear Sir:—The Hon. Nicholas Longworth as I knew him: I first met him in 1902 as a state senator, and from that time on I was well acquainted with him. A fine American gentleman, fair on the race question. I feel that our people have lost a great friend in the late speaker of the national house of representation, hold the last letter I received from him, to the seating of Congressman Oscar De Priest of Chicago. The manner in which he conducted the swearing in of new congressmen in that session was something new to the American people. It had been done, to my memory, once before when the late Thomas B. Reed was speaker when Congressman Geo. White of North Carolina, in 1902, had the same procedure used. Had not this been used, in all probability Mr. De Priest would have been challenged for his seat, because by swearing in all in a body made it impossible for those who intended to challenge his seat to do so. It had been customary for a number of years to seat congressmen in alphabetical order, and that been done, by the time had that been done, by the time been enough from the South, that was opposed to him, to have prevented his being seated. One of my great admirations for Mr. Longworth was for the manner in which he put the motion (at my suggestion) at the Republican state convention in 1904 at Columbus. The Caucus, the night before, had endorsed Herrick, Foraker, Cox and Dick for the "big four" (delegates-at-large), and their four alternates were to be ex-speaker of the national house, Gen. J. Warren Keifer of Springfield; Gen. Charles Grosvenor, congressman from Athens; Lieut. Gov. Warren G. Haining and Ralph McCormick, members of the legislature at that time were the Hon. George W. Hayes of Cincinnati, and Hon. Henry T. Eubanks of Cleveland. But there was opposition to Mr. Eubanks by a group of our politicians who were attempting to put Ralph Tyler over. When it came time to nominate the alternates, Mr. Longworth made the motion that Messrs. Harding, Keifer and Grosvenor be elected by acclamation, and that they would bal- Sidney B. Thompson. THE FILM OF "THE MAD HAG" BY JOHN HARRISON. ROSA PONSELLE. The golden-voiled Rosa Ponselle not only will open the eighth spring festival of grand opera in Cleveland public halls when the great Metropolitan Opera Company of New York appears here, the week of April 27 to May 2, but will be heard for the first time in three years in a series of four operas in two days. "Norma," by popular request, will be presented on Friday evening, May 1, with Miss Ponselle in her greatest role, that of the Druid Tolkatyn, Marlon Telva and Ezio Pinza. On Monday night, she will have the new role of "Violletta" in doleful "La Trastata," a part in which she scored great tunes in London's Covent Garden, this past summer, Lauri-Volpi is the tenor, and Lawrence Tibbett the baritone. Week-end visitors will also hear Lily Pons in "Rigolotto" on Friday DOINGS OF THE RACE. "Farina," of Hal Roacha's movie "Our Gang" is thus. "He has grown too large like his older brother, 'Sunshine Sammy.'" "Farina's" real name is Allen Hoskins. Dean Geo. W. Cook of Howard university, Washington, D. C., received the highest primary vote for alumni trustee of the university, nearly double that of several other contestants, among them being Dr. Chas. Garvin of Cleveland, O. Six one-time officials of the Liberty Life Ins. Co. of Chicago were recently cited in Civil court to show that they should not be held in contempt for testifying "that they had borrowed $40,000" from the Bankers State bank of Chicago which failed, recently, for two corporations. When we think of the large number of people in business who fail each year, we can realize what it means to "look before you leap." Bradstreet's gives the number of business failures for 1930 as 24,107 involving over two million individuals in business. Of course these in business are all business businesses. But what causes white business failures will cause our business failures. Specific conditions together with lack of sufficient capital, speculation, extravagance and mismanagement were the chief causes of these failures. She Denies Raising Race Issue. Montclair, N.

VOCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY WEEK CELEBRATED HERE In co-operation with the Urban League organizations throughout the country, a vocational opportunity campaign is being waged in Cleveland by our Welfare Association during the week of April 19-26. The main purpose of this campaign is to emphasize the need for vocational training and disseminate information concerning the opportunities for employment for our work force. We are hoping to improve our ability to do only the heavy laborious and menial types of work, and in general to propagandize for a larger place in the productive and professional pursuits of the country. Sunday, speakers will appear before organized groups of young people in the churches to interest them in securing special training for them. In work. On each afternoon from 3:30 p.m. in there will be a job-civilian at Mt. Zion Cong. temple. These sessions will be devoted to the trades and professions and the training required for them. All persons having job or vocational problems will be welcomed and the speakers will attempt in every possible way to help solve the problem of being of especial interest to the young boy and girl who are definitely faced with the problem of selecting a life work. On Thursday, there will be a conference on opportunity problems at the Temple at 4 p.m. at which they will discuss the difficulties encountered in securing employment for our workers. On Sunday, April 26, at 3:30 p. m. in St. Paul A. M. E. Zion church, the Association will present as chief speakers Elmer A. Carter, editor of Opportunity Magazine, and Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, who will discuss vocational opportunities. The campaign is being sponsored by our Welfare Association, the Interdenominational Alliance, the fraternities and sororities.

E COPY FIVE CENTS EOPLE! SPELMAN COLLEGE 50TH ANNIVERSARY. Atlanta, Ga.—Spelman College has just concluded the celebration of its 50th anniversary by looking back, as one speaker said, upon "not merely fifty years of mere existence, but fifty years of great achievement and by looking forward to a second half-century of even greater accomplishments." Hundreds of graduates and former students, their families and friends, distinguished visitors and representatives, expressed their sister college and organization, participated in the three days' festivities, attended an exciting gymnastic contest, listened to historical programs by alumnae and students, inspected extensive exhibits of the work of students and the accomplishments of alumnae, participated in formal academic exercises Saturday afternoon and preaching services, Sunday, and on Saturday night enlightened in which the college's development was revealed in dramatic form. In addition to the many expressions of congratulation and goodwill that were delivered in the course of the three-day program, President Florence M. Read received many messages from absent friends. None was read and received with greater enthusiasm from John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who has been the college's greatest patron for forty-seven of its fifty years. In his letter expressing his happiness over what Spelman has accomplished he said he was "happy to feel that of all the investments which we have made as a family, Spelman stands among the best." "I send," he wrote, "cordial best wishes for the future of the college and for each and every one who has had or will have a part in its administration; also every sincere hope for the continued welfare of the colored people in whom we have always felt the deepest interest and concern. We have made and devoutly pray that the good work may continue with ever-increasing success." As further indication of the continued interest of the Spelman-Rockefeller family in the college which was named in honor of Mrs. Rockefeller's parents was the presence at the anniversary celebration of John D. Rockefeller, New York City, who paid his first visit to Spelman to represent, his family. In his Founders' Day address, Saturday afternoon, Dr. Julian H. Lewis, assistant professor of pathology of the faculty of medicine, University of Chicago, and one of the foremost scientists of the race, declared that we had a great opportunity through our own schools to make a great and wonderful contribution to the field. Following Lewis, Jackson Davis, assistant director of education of the General Education Board, paid tribute to our women; graduates of schools like Spelman, who by their work in the rural schools of the South had spread education among great numbers so effectively. Because of their work, he declared, the movement to establish high schools was hastened, and the present development of our colleges was made possible. Whereas, a few years ago high schools in the United States had actually unknown, there are today 107,000 enrolled in high schools in this section and in the last four years the number of students in our colleges here has increased from 13.000 to 21,000. MARTIN LOSES AGAIN! The Mattie L. Bradley Will Case Won After a Spirited Contest— Who the Beneficiaries Are, Etc. Nearly the entire time of common pleas court room. No. 4, was consumed, one day last week, in the trial of a case to set aside the last will and testament of Mattie L. Bradley who died, April 18, 1930, leaving an estate of real and personal property. By the terms of said will, the Will of A. Shiloh Baptist church, the Old Folsels' Home and eleven individuals were made beneficiaries. Judge Irving Carpenter of Norwalk, presided. The array of our attorneys, witnesses, beneficiaries and spectators was quite noticeable and attracted the attention of many litigants at the new court. The courtroom was presented the plaintiff, James E. Bradley, widower of the deceased, while Attorneys Harry E. Davis and ex-Senator John P. Green were upholding the validity of the will. Where there was so much talent displayed, in the course of the trial, comparison of legal personnel would be invalidous. Suffice to say that the will was upheld by the jury liberated on the evidence (after the charge of the able judge) during parts of two days. Mr. Benj. Davis, of Atlanta, Ga., former Republican National committeeman from that state and editor of the Atlanta Independent, has been in the city for about a week, stopping in Hotel Majestic.

President Hoover's radio talk to Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I. Institute, the past week, on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary celebration was so "formal" it evolved nothing new. Mr. Hoover seemed fearful of saying something that would affront southern whites, particularly "illy-white" Republicans who are really Democrats when it comes to race matters. He doesn't seem to realize that southern Democracy has already made it simply impossible for the Republican party to again get a single electoral vote from any southern state. We do not mean border states. --- Someone should tell David Ralph Hertz, an assistant prosecutor of this county, that Ohio's mob violence act is the basis of about all the anti-lynchings laws of the various states, and all the anti-lynching bills introduced in the Congress of the United States in the last decade or two. We are sure that he can get this much-needed information from his colleague of color, Assistant County Prosecutor Norman Selby Minor. His loose, unfounded and unjustified in fact criticism of the most effective anti-lynching legislation in the history of this country is calculated to hold him up to very general ridicule for reasons obvious. Eugene Henry Huffman, age 30 a Los Angeles, Cal. Afro-American "house-boy," has written a book entitled, "Now, I Am Civilized," which, it seems, has stirred up the "dry-bones in the secret closets" of some newspapers and writers (white) because he has told some plain truths about the general mistreatment of our people, particularly the women. Huffman maintains that he has only given facts which should be faced and no longer dodged by members of both races or groups. "Now, I am Civilized" is written in the language of our uneducated cooks and is "intended as a satire aimed at 'subtle seriousness.'" Continuing he says: "The trouble is that the 'Negro' has an inferiority complex, and the white person a superiority complex." Both silly. His critics are demanding that the book be suppressed which of course will hardly be done. At this distance, it seems to us that more such publications are sadly needed, particularly by the other race because of its "hypocritical attitude." Huffman has had a high-school education, has worked as cook, chauffeur, butler and Pullman porter, but never ceased reading and studying with a view to preparing himself for writing. RESURRECTED TEMPORARILY? The newspaper brethren of color, of E. 554th St., have broken out in rebellion against one another, it seems. The editor of The Call & Post pulled out, week before last, permitting that publication to die for the time being and started the republication (as a weekly) of The Cleveland Guide which he issued as a monthly, a few years ago. Last week, The Call & Post re-appeared with a new editor and making an apology to Rev. C. C. Aller for a severe attack the paper had made on him in a previous issue, saying that "whether they (the charges) be true or untrue, it appears that said article was published mainly to injure The Call & Post by inviting the emmity of Rev. Aller's friends." This, in itself, is a serious charge. Last week, both The Guide and The Call & Post made their appearance. Just for how long a period of time, however, it is impossible for us and for them to say. It is really too bad that the brethren refuse to dwell in harmony, especially in this day and time when the economic depression makes doing business of all kinds a very serious problem, particularly from a financial point of view. THE BALANCE OF POWER The resolution, in Monday night's city council meeting, authorizing the discontinuance of the Carnegie-Prospect end of the Clifton-Carnegie bus line, was delayed as the result of a 12 to 12 tie vote, "the 25th member of the council, Councilman Clayborne George, being absent." We call attention to this particularly because it frequently happens that one or all of "The Blossom Triplets" are the balance of power in the city council. This power could have been invoked, scores of times since they entered the city council, to stop color and race discrimination in the various departments of the city government. But the brilliant (?) "triumvirate," better known as "The Blossom Triplets," Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy, have never been able to muster up courage enough to use this same balance of power to accomplish things for their constituents of color, they so glibly promised to do when candidates for election, a year ago last fall. A score or more of our young men and women who, last and this year, because of their race or color, or both, have been refused appointments to places in the city government they won in civil service examinations, still are being refused the places they are entitled to because of the weakness and ineffectiveness of our three councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets." This in the face of the fact that often one of them is the balance of power in the council. More often, all three are, and still after more than a year and a half not a thing has been done or is being done to eradicate the unfair, unjust and disgraceful racial discrimination in the various departments of the city. There sure must be a "house (council)-cleaning," as far as we are concerned, when election day arrives, this fall. THE BARBER'S LICENSE BILL While our barbers of the state of Ohio "slept at the switch" the Ackerman Barber's License bill was passed by The State Assembly, last week. One of its provisions is that no one can practice the barber-trade in Ohio unless a graduate of a "barber college," all of which, we are reliably informed, draw a color line. Some of these days about all of these people of ours will have seared into the very marrow of their bones the fact that only "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." There remains one slight opportunity to head off the bill which is now practically a law, and that is, by working rapidly and faithfully on the members of The State Assembly immediately, and before their re-assembling for a few days, at an early date, to complete the work of this year's regular session of the Legislature. PRIME SPORT NEWS. Smith Won, as Usual. New York City.—Harry Smith crack Harlem middleweight, knocked out Fred Lenhart (white) or Spokane, Wash., in 1:31 of the sixth round of a ten-round semi-final, here last week Friday night. Smith scaled 163 $\frac{1}{2}$. Lenhart 172 $\frac{1}{2}$. Walker Floored by Wright Omaha. Neb. — Mickey Walker weight 168 lbs., world's middleweight champion, won a referee's decision over Bearcat Wright, weight 210, of this city, in a ten-round bout here last week Friday night. Wright rushed from his corner at the opening gong and a wild right hand punch floored the middleweight king. Walker, however, was more surprised than hurt and carried the fight to Wright from that moment. Walker floored Wright in the second round for a short count. Greatest Tennis Players Here Greatest Tennis Players Here. One of Cleveland's greatest sports attractions for the current year will be staged in public hall on the evening of Tuesday, April 21. That night, Wm. T. (Big Bill) Tilden, greatest professional player of all time, will meet Karel Kozelum, noted European professional champion in a match for the world title. In addition to Tilden and Kozelum, the company includes Francis T. Hunter and J. Emmett Pare, two of the greatest players this country has produced. The troupe carries its own court, including backstop and net, and even its own officials. The prices of admission. Tuesday night are very low, within the reach all. Best seats are $3, with others at $2 and $1, nearly four thousand being available for the latter price. Seats on sale at public auditorium. Jack Rogaine His Title A crowd of nearly nine thousand people who paid $46,607 saw young Jack Thompson, former weterweight champion, regain the title, Tuesday evening, in public auditorium. As in the battle here last year, when Pat Haley of New York city arbitrarily relieved him of the championship, Jack showed a superiority over Tommy Freeman (white) that was almost spectacular. Tuesday the night before the kickout in the 12th round of their scheduled fifteen-round bout. He had closed Tommy's left eye and "cleaned" him so good there was no question as to his victory. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 18. 1931. I SEE WHERE THE CHINKS ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER ITS LIKE A WORLD'S SERIES IN THE KITTY LEAGUE. NOBODY CARES WHO WINS I WISH THAT CHINK LAUNDRY-MAN OF MINE WOULD GO TOWAR HE'D WIN FOR HIS SIDE HOW'S THAT? SEE THAT SCAR-HE NEARLY OUT MY THROAT ONCE A TOUGH BIMBO, WHAT HE USE-A KNIFE? NO HE WASHED MY SHIRT AND THAT'S WHAT THE NECKBAND DID. IF HE WASHED THE ENEMY'S SHIRTS THEIR HEADS WOULD FALL OFF THEY DOWNT WASH AND THEY DOWNT WEAR SHIRTS? The ROUNDER MARQUES DALMAZAR Wonder how many Afro-American ward-leaders there were at the annual party, Saturday night, in Public Hall? We have been trying, all week, to find out. A recent issue of a Chicago paper stated that Bundy was back and the "trumvirate" was "working smoothly, again." Yes, the three "Andy (H. Brown)s," or "Blossom Triplets," are together again, but unfortunately they have no Amos to guide them. Undertaker Rogers who has been "covering up doctors' mistakes" for years, is being talked of by many of the eleventh ward voters as a candidate for city council, this tall, and will make a strong candidate, too. Our councilmen ("The Blossom Triplets") "shure" have made plenty of mistakes. Former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming will be eligible for pardon or parole, this fall, as soon as he has served 12 months of sentence. What a trump card the 18th ward Democratic club would play were it to get Gov. White to pardon Tom in the face of a Republican Governor's refusal to do so! O. boy! When your three councilmen and their ward-leaders urged you to vote, last fall, for ALL of the bond issues and put Cleveland to work, they didn't tell you that it meant only Cleveland's white workers, did they? Why? These many millions you voted for Demand a job from your councilman! You are entitled to it. One of the speakers at the Payne-Jane Hunter meeting, last week Friday night, "foilishly said: 'If anyone runs against Payne, this fall (there are two already), we have his "water on and boiling." One of the boys, around the corner of E. 55th St and Central Ave., says, in reply: "Our volunteer 'fire-department,' which will be working by that time, will 'shure' put out that fire and boiling water, too.'" Wonder if Vice-Pres. Geo. D. McGwinn, of the Cleveland Street Railway Co., really did pay for the dinner given the transportation committee of the City Council, the other day? Bundy is our member of this committee and is so useless, as far as we are concerned to say the least, he has not only failed to get any better service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. cars for his constituents but has been so impotent, both as a member of the council and its transportation committee, that the service on these lines has gradually been made worse ever since he and the other "Blossom Triplets" entered the City Council, the first of last year. Lord, have mercy! as the editor is wont to say, And a ripping right-cross that landed flush upon Freeman's eye, wounded early in the light, settled the count. Jack regained possession of a gold belt donated by the National Boxing Association for the welterweight champion. Freeman, the loser, received $21,905, representing 50% of the gross receipts, when him was paid only $4,381, representing 10 percent of the gross after the commission's six percent had been deducted. Dan Taylor, a sport: writer of the Cleveland Daily News, said in that paper, Wednesday: "The jinx that has trailed the last four welterweight champions settled in the left eye of Tommy Freeman, here, last night." No it didn't. It wasn't any jinx that settled in Tommy's left eye, but Jack Thompson's first did the settling. "Gorilla" Jones of Akron decisively defeated Paul Pirrone (white) of New York City in the semi-final. THE BIRDLET God's birdlet knows. Nor cares, nor toils. Nor weaves it painfully An everlasting nest. Through the long night on a twig it slumbers; When rises the red sun, Birdlet listens to the voice of God And it starts and sings. When spring, Nature's beauty, And the burning summer have passed. And the fog and the rain By the late fall are brought. Men are wearied, men are grieved. But birdlet flies into distant lands, Into warmer climes beyond the blue sea; Flies to the spring. Flies into the spring. —Alexander Pousshkin. Father Flanagan's Boys' Home Is Mecca of Homeless Boys of All Religions and Colors Father Flanagan's Boys' Home Is Mecca of Homeless Boys of All Religions and Colors One of the Negro lads in his clean white bed at Father Flanagan's Boys' Home near Omaha, Nehr Eighty-nine homeless and orphaned colored lads, coming from the highways and byways of the nation and from poverty-stricken and neglected homes, have been clothed, fed and educated by the Reverend E. J. Flanagan, director of Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, located eleven miles west of Omaha, Nebraska, on the Lincoln Highway. One of Father Flanagan's earliest principles of the institution, to which he has kept full faith, has been that a "homeless boy is a homeless boy and it makes no difference what his color, creed or race is." The colored boys at Father Flanagan's Boys' Home behave well and are above the average in their school work and recreational programs, according to Father Flanagan. Willie Harris, one of the lads who plays the drum in the No. 1 band at the Home, gained recognition from nationally known music leaders who visited in Omaha during an excellent professional offer to go on the stage because of his extraordinary histrionic ability.

We often see a frock, which most likely cost a very great deal of money, making entirely the wrong impression because worn at precisely the wrong time of day or for exactly the wrong occasion. Some people believe that "smartness"—that intangible word for kindness—is becoming—as an innate characteratic with which some are born and some are not. Our opinion is to the contrary. We believe that GIVES A MILLION DOLLARS. New York City. — Establishment of a million-dollar endowment for the promotion of good will between the U. S. and Germany from a gift made by Gustav Oberlaender, retired Reading (Pa.) manufacturer, has been announced by the Carl Sandburg Foundation. The money is to be distributed over 25 years. Oberlaender, a native of Germany, specified that the money is to be given to American citizens E, AL LIKE A WILD'S CREEP IN THE KITTY AGUE. BODY JESSE WHO JINS. I WISH THAT CHINK LAUNDRY- MAN OF MINE WOULD GO TOWAR HE D WIN FOR HIS SIDE When Willie was with the Boys Band in the Black Hills to visit Calvin Coolidge, the former president turned to Willie and said, "Do you play that drum?" Willie trembled so much in answering that he dropped the drum sticks. Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, known as the "mecca of the homeless boy," now has more than 200 homeless and abandoned boys within the 320 acres of land known as "Overlook Farm." The Home receives no financial support from city, church, state or community chest. It depends entirely on donations from the general public and through wills and bequests. The Boys at the institution are taught trades of various sorts, including carpentry, agriculture, journalism, music, physical culture, poultry raising, horticulture, stenography, baking and numerous others so they will be independent of society when they leave the Home. The Home is now radiocasting programs over 20 radio stations throughout the United States by means of electrical transcription- study Themselves any woman who is willing to spend a little energy, in studying herself and buying wisely can learn the art of being smart.

Only citizens working in the fields of public health, public welfare, students doing research and those interested in old age insurance, race relations, music, art or kindred subjects, who it is believed would profit by contacts in Germany, will share in the fund. A board of trustees, with Oberlaender as chairman, will control distribution of the money. Jacob Gould Schuermann is honorary president of the board. HOW'S THAT? SEE THAT SCAN HE NEARLY ON MY THROAT ONCE 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. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim or lynching. 6283. When suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that constitutionality of the law and it be 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 injury to any one, or pretending to "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" to the purpose of this chapter, shall include, furthermore, manently 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, misshapen weapons, and other weapons, recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, in which such assault is made a sum of 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 6222. The legal representative of a person dying from injury received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, such sum shall be distributed into an amount equal to child share. If there be no widow or minor or 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 may not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 2) 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 a mob (93 v. 162 6). Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault, (93 v. 162 7). Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the 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 the amount of a judgment and cost of favor of aavor of representative of a common 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 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: ODS. ed. a representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. d costs in tax levy. e. 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 to the death of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employees, 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 applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities furnished 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 more than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved therein, 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. TRIED STONE CHURCH NEWS. Rev. C.

DOUBLEY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY MORE THAN YOU DO THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931. "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS." A local correspondent of a Chicago race-paper refers to Councilman Leroy Bundy as "a very important factor on the City Council's public utilities committee" and adds that "his splendid counsel was greatly missed" while he was ill in City hospital. This is one big joke! The correspondent also wrote that "the 'triumvirate' ('Blossom Triplets'), composed of Councilmen Clayborne George, Lawrence Payne George. and Bundy, is now on "in full swing" again." What kind of a "full swing?" About all of the foregoing, which said correspondent is quoted as writing, will only make the great majority of "The Blossom Triplets" constituents smile or loud out loud. "In full swing" for what or for whom? All three have been of very little, if any, practical service to their constituents and our people of this community. Payne secured a job, his best one, for a resident of George's ward and district. Bundy has been a member of county transportation committee, last year, and far this year. While the service on the Cedar, Central and Scoville Ave. lines, the ones most used by their constituents, has been steadily growing worse, there has never been a "whimper" from him and his two 468 Lawrence O. Payne. "Negro" colleagues. Their membership on other council committees hasn't "meant a thing" to our people, either. If they have ever been of any consequence to them, as members of the Cleveland city council, we have not been able to notice it because there is just as much discrimination against our people in all of the cities they have been in there was when they were inducted into office, the first of last year. Scores of our young men and women, who have won positions as the result of civil service examinations and have been turned down, last and this year, for no other reason than because of their color or race-connection, complain of their broken ties to such proper distance from the "trumpet" or "Bloomos Triplets." And there are plenty of other good causes of complaint, but the major one is the utter failure of George, Payne and Bundy to do their clear duty in an effort to remove some, if not all, of the very harmful discrimination referred to. To add to this and to many other bona fides, complaints against them the breaking ties to such proper distance from the campaign of the year ago last fall, to do all in their power to help oust the color-line director of welfare, Dudley S. Blossom, and it will not take anyone long to fully realize what is going to happen to the "trumvirate" or "Blossom Triplets" this fall. If ever a people have a disapproval of the elective representatives in any body, we have all been most grievously and harmful representation in Cleveland's city council afforded us by "The Blossom Triplets." Because of the unemployment situation it is going to be mighty hard to elect good Republican candidates to the city council this week. So on still will the scope or a microscope to the handwriting on the wall" for Payne, George and Bundy, if they have the temerity to stand as candidates for re-election. And it will pay that local correspondent of the Chicago race-publication to awaken to the fact that he is harming his reputation by being indulged in such political turmoil quoted in the opening lines of this article. It is too thin, too ridiculous, too untrue, and about everybody knows it. day evening, on Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Carroll in honor of his 84th birthday, giving them a very pleasant surprise.

George Powell of Chicago, the inventor, is shown at the wheel. It created a furore in Chicago when it dashed along Sheridan road and into Lake Michigan.

Automobiles have, become such a necessary factor in farm operation that an average of 92 per cent of the farms in the United States are equipped with motor vehicles, according to a bulletin issued by the American research foundation. Unnecessary Wear and Tear. "It is estimated that 94 per cent of the automobiles on American farms are used for business," says the bulletin. "The element of all-around utility is a much more important factor with the average farm-owned car than with the city-owned automobile. For this reason, prevention of unnecessary wear and tear and power losses is essential. Tests under practical operating conditions have proved that for the average new passenger car a change to a heavier oil after 3,000 to 5,000 miles of driving, and again to a still heavier oil after 15,000 to 20,000 miles is the most effective means of counteracting the wear of pistons and cylinder walls, by sealing the distance between them, and that similar changes should be made for the average new truck at from 1,000 to 2,000 miles and from 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Farm-Owned Motor Vehicles. "There were 5,700,000 farm-owned motor vehicles in use on approximately 6,295,158 farms at the end of 1930. Of this registration, it is estimated that 4,925,600 were passenger cars and 770,400 were motor trucks. Farm-owned motor vehicles comprise about one-fifth of all the automobiles owned in the United States." Here's Tip on How to Change Tires Quickly The chief reason for the difficulty many motorists experience when changing tires is the habit of jacking the car too high. A wheel need be raised only high enough to allow the tire to clear the road. Especially in the case of a demountable wheel is the rule about height important. The car always should be securely held by the parking brake. Where only the hub is left after a tire and wheel have been removed, the difficulties following slipping off the jack are evident. If only the tire and rims are changed be sure to have the tire valve up top before setting the brake. The trick in attaching a demountable wheel is to see that the retaining bolts on the hub line with the holes in the rim of the wheel. The matching can be made with the wheel lying on the road with the edge of the tire directly below the end of the axle hub. AUTOMOBILE NOTES What's become of the old-fashioned arm signal when making a left turn? * * * * Motor fuel is most expensive in La Paz, Bolivia, where the price per gallon was 64.8 cents. * * * * Nearly seven billion gallons of gasoline were used by car owners throughout the United States in the first six months of 1930. * * * * Gasoline has a tendency to dull the finish of most cars and should never be applied in washing except to remove grease. * * * * Night driving is much more enjoyable when the glare of the oncoming car is eliminated. It is a matter of road courtesy to dim the lights, whenever possible, in passing another vehicle. Golden Rule Now Urged for Big Motor Traffic Motorists in New Jersey are being officially urged to adopt the Golden Rule as their driving code. Russell S. Wise, chairman of the New Jersey traffic commission, puts it in modern phrasing as follows: "The sooner drivers show consideration for the rights of each other, the sooner will our accident casualties decrease." An entnusinistic endorsement of Mr. Wise's proposal to adopt the ancient moral precept to present-day motorizing comes from William L. Chenery, editor of Collier's Weekly, who comments: "Everybody who uses crowded roads and streets knows the truth of that. Your safety and comfort depend not only on your own skill and care, but also upon the behavior of others. A perfect driver is at the mercy of the fools and criminals and the merely reckless who also use the road. "Engineering construction, lights, policing and other devices make for safety, but consideration of the rights of others is still the first rule of safety. If no one had ever previously thought of the Golden Rule, the modern automobile would have compelled its utterance. For the machine can't yield its maximum service unless the driver regards the rights of other motorists." Suitcase Carrier Very Handy in an Emergency If your car is fitted with the mud-guard bumper now so popular you can fit a carrier for a single suitcase or similar package as shown. Most of these bumper are of the double bar type and there is plenty of space for SUITCASE BOARD OR PLANK LUGGAGE SUPPORT SPIKES Bumpers Will Carry Board to Which Suitcase Can Be Strapped. a board or plank between the two bars as indicated. Temporarily, the board can be held in place with heavy nails driven in forward of the bumper bars. The top of the suitcase can be lashed to the spare tire. While this luggage carrier does not look as well as a commercial one, it will serve in an emergency.—Popular Science Monthly. Annoving Ausomobile Noises Easy to Declare The automobile world is becoming more skillful at deadening undesirable noises in the engine and car body, some of these plans being simple enough to pass along to the average motorist for home consumption. If the exhaust manifold has a habit of "ringing," for instance, all you need to do is weld a small square of metal to the top of the piping. This will deaden the noise. Many manifolds now come through from the factories with a heavy section built into them in the form of a boss. To deaden the noises sometimes heard in cars with steel bodies there is available a plastic substance which can be applied in various ways in accordance with the temperature and its consistency at the time the work is done. It is particularly effective for coating the metal insides of the doors. Driver Is Responsible "The driver of a motor vehicle causing an accident as a result of a blowout in one of his tires is not free from negligence and can be held liable for damages on the premise that the operator must assure himself that his tires are in good condition." This decision was handed down recently by the Supreme court of the state of Washington. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931 RADIO PICTURES HAT AND GOWN FOR THE BRIDESMAID ACCENTS VOGUE FOR SHEER EFFECTS JOEL FIDIR. WHITE registers decisively in the spring mode. To associate white with fashions for summer is a perennial gesture, but white for spring, especially when the entire costume is being carried out in all white—his real news. White is being featured in every tempo, beginning at accessory touches with the dark suit, coat or frock and continuing until the crescendo carries to the point where the entire costume is in white. If one elects to be ultra in the wearing of a white coat, in order to interpret the fashion aright, care must be exercised in choosing the very swankiest of material and every little detail in the making of the garment must be just so. Right up to the minute in every respect is the stunning white outfit which Betty Compson, featured Radio Pictures player, is wearing this spring—see it in the illustration herewith. HAT AND GOWN FOR ACCENTS VOGUE ENTHUSIASM for sheer effects marks the trend of present-day fashions. This mood for airy-fairy film frocks and chapeaux is particularly felt in the realm of fashions for the 1931 bridesmaid. Not only are silken chiffons and laces, nets and tails imparting their sheer loveliness to these modes, but adorable cottons as thin and transparent as the weaver's art can make them are the last word in chic, when it comes to gowning the bride's attendants. They may or may not cost a king's ransom, the "simple" cotton frocks, for some of them are elaborated with choice hand-embroidery. Whether they be of the expensive or inexpensive sort, these lovely eyecycled bastistes, embroidered organies and weaves of like character have sounded a note of sweet simplicity as none other than quaint cottons can do. To carry out their ingenuue role in the wedding pageant, the frocks made of them must be tied at their waistline with sashes of velvet ribbon or of taffeta or satin and the hats which y Your Copy or an Acqu The fact that spongy, loose-woven woolens are "it" for the making of the white coat led Miss Compson to choose a soft open mesh basket cloth which, as you see, has been tailored to perfection. The wide revers, the broad belt with a buckle, the slenderizing lines, the neckpiece of flat white fur, the white beret, and the white shoes trimmed with a wee bit of color are all high spots in the mode. Just a touch of white does not do the trick this season. To carry the message of chic across there must be lots and lots of white. First in importance is the all-white dress worn beneath the dark coat. The white jacket, preferably of thin fabric-like fur with the dark skirt is also tiger chile. It's not necessary to wait until midsummer for the realization of your dreams—wear white now and be among the first to declare this vogue. CURIER NICHOAS R THE BRIDESMAID FOR SHEER EFFECTS JOEL FEDER top them must tune in to the same colorful key. In direct contrast to these unaffected frocks of dainty sheer cottones are the sophisticated styles for bridesmaids of glamorous beauty such as the picture sets forth. For a fashionable church wedding this bridesmaid is arrayed in a costume ideal. From the crown of her patrician head to the tip of her dainty silvered slippers she is a "perfect picture"—as every bridesmaid should be. While fabric elegance is made the theme of this enchanting ensemble, it will be observed that the materials for both hat and gown answer to the call for sheer and transparent effects. Silver, blue and white is the color scheme. The long modish peplum blouse cut a la princess is made of silver and blue brocaded chiffon. The bouffant skirt of white jule is composed of deep floues each of which is edged with a silver piping. Silver ribbon trims the white tulle hat, which is a very smart creation. Its wide brim accents newest lines. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (©. 1931. Western Newspaper Union.) copy of The maintenance w ROSENWALD SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS HERE IN THE NORTH. Ignorant Ministers. (Special to The Gazette) (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 cover the crime, race discrimination. Many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are in trying to establish these separate hospitals. There is no need for them to be segregated, 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. Dr. Euclid Ghee, son of the well-known Dr. Euclid 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, studiousness and good sense, he has been one of 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 and experience and first-class hospitals. Our people have 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 manpower trade, there is in the back-ground incompetence, selfishness 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 ply their trade or enter "Y's" among men of standing and first-class qualifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great number of people bring 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 many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principle asset. Too many students are not well educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient habits of our people, simply to get money out of them. A very little conscientious effort is required to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and Billion Ch are credited every year of that inimitable sty- ings whose character fused with those of an RUBE Billions of Chuckles are credited every year to the inventor of that inimitable style of comic drawings whose characters are never confused with those of any artist other than RUBE GOLDBERG MILK CO. GAZETTE ho might Sul many of them are not third grade pupils in grammar schools. These race-churches, like what physicians call "race hospitals," are doing more injury to religion than help "Negro" ministers and physicians who do the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races.
