The News declares that "the unfortunate youths received little or no benefit" from N. A. A. C. P. money collected in their name, share most of the high salaries paid officers of the organization and expenses accounted. These two items, the News continues, serve to "keep the association treasury drained" and "account for the effectiveness of the organization in protecting the interests of the racial group." The News concludes: "There are always to be found those individuals and organizations whose only purpose and motive is to get hold of funds that might be filched up in the pocket of an unsuspecting public and use it for a sensible purpose accounts. Until a step is put to such practices, the interests of the racial group will suffer irreparably." Has Three Fights in London and Paris—Will Risk Title in One. Akron, Ohio. — "Gorilla" (Wm.)

OBITUARY Richard C. Bundy, superintendent of the state department at Wilberforce, died, Tuesday night, after many months illness. Indeed, Mr. Bundy has been ill for several years, spending part of the last two or three summers at the sanitarium in Battle Creek, Mich. He was the oldest son of Rev. Chas. Bundy who died, several years ago, at his home here in Cleveland. Supt. Bundy, years ago, served as secretary of the U. S. Leg- Sunt. Richard C. Bundy. ation in Monrovia, Liberia, and for a short time served in the state department at Washington, D. C., before being called to Wilberforce. He was one of the most efficient superintendants the state department there has ever had, and his death is a positive loss to the institution. A widow, mother, two brothers and a sister, all except the widow residents of Cleveland, survive him and have the sympathy of the community. The date of the funeral had not been announced when The Gazette went to press. Thursday morning. Detroit, Mich., Mar. 3. '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—All of the "write-ups" of the "Rhappeau in black" show have been great! I particularly like this one because it seems so very complimentary of the race. So I'm sending a copy to you. We play the Hanna Theater, Cleveland, for one week, beginning Sunday night, March 6. We gave four shows there during Christmas week but I didn't have an opportunity to see many of my good friends while in Cleveland. The Old Reliable' Gazette still comes to our New York home, each week, and in the way Mr. Ball and I keep in touch with your wonderful work for the race. The following is the write-up to which Mrs. Ball refers in the forgoing. It was written by Malcolm W. Bingay, a columnist of the Detroit Free Press, for its issue of Mar. 2, 1922, and in several respects is the fairest, best and most remarkable estimate of one of our shows it has ever been our good fortune to read: Real Art. I entertain a firm conviction that all crooners should be shot at sunrise, and these doo-da-da-da-sa singer shoots both the orchestra and performance. I consider Al Jolson and Mammy caterwailing a national menace. I walked out on the last Ziegfeld Follies, bored to death. A good, substantial retaining fee would not induce me ever again to suffer even a partial peek at Earl Carroll's glorification of barnyard filth. And I avoid all picture shows that feature wriggling masters of ceremonies and tinpan vaudeville. Press by this time you have an idea, and read a reader, that I do not think much of modern musical entertainment — if that is what it is. But I think I could go every night in the week to this "Rhapsody in Black," which has just hit Detroit. There is a difference between vulgar jazz and the sheer artistry of syncopation. This group of Harlem colored folk have got hold of something that is throbbing, real, vital. They make the Jolsons, the "Bing" Crossbys, the Rudy Vallees, the Cantors and tawdry like the medicine show barkers in their strident screamings—described the spirit of Orpheus. "Rhapsody in Black" is great because it is natural; that is not a false note from the beginning end of the best musical treat I have seen in any theater in years. It is Art with a capital "A." pure and undefiled. The Negro spirituals take on the dignity and timbre of great Gregorian chants; you are exalted, lifted from your chair, and then—crash—into the maddest, fastest tempo of unadulterated syncopated rhythm I have ever gasped at. Gabriilowitsch can learn lessons in directing from that cholocate hued little lady who leads the orchestra. It seemed in the wildest outburst of melody, in George Gershwins' the ballet As usual, the seats will be priced from one dollar to seven dollars and because of the anticipated demand, a number of seats at the lower range of prices will be added. Branch ticket offices will be established by Manager Harold J. Miskell in nearly 50 cities within the 400 miles radius of Cleveland, and mail orders for season tickets may be sent now to the committee box office, Lyon and Healy's. 1226 Huron Rd.

The Finest Operas, the Greatest Singers and Musical Directors in the World to Be in Cleveland, Next Month, in Public Auditorium, With the Metropolitan Opera Co. of New York. Thursday—Lakme Friday—Manon Sat. Mat.—Tales of Hoffmann Sat. Eve.—La Glorinda For the first time in the history of grand opera in Cleveland, four great sopranos of the Metropolitan will be heard in a single day of the ninth annual spring festival in the great public auditorium, when four sopranos of the Northern Ohio Opera Association, April 21 to 23. This unique presentation will be on "all-Ohio Day." Saturday, April 23, when the matinee performance of the tuneful "Tales of Hoffmann" will be sung by Lucresis Bort Lily Pons and Ira Stern. Bort Lily Pons will be the evening performance of "La Gliconda," the great vehicle of Rosa Ponselle. O GRACE MOORE One of the newest stars of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, she will be heard with Lily Pons and Lucezia Bori in "Tales of Hoffmann" on Saturday afternoon, April 23, in the ninth spring festival of grand opera in Cleveland public hall. That evening Rosa Ponselle will sing "La Gioconda." In addition to "La Gioconda," in which Ponselle and Giovanni Martini will sing, another old favorite will be the performance of Tales of Monson's delightful French opera, "Manson." The title role will be sung by Lucezia Bori, with Beniamino Gigli as "Des Grieux," Lawrence Tibbett as "Lescaut" and Leon Rothier as the Count. Louis Hasselmans will conduct. From the novelties of the current season in New York, by popular request, the charming Delibes opera, "Lakme," has been selected. This is the favorite opera of Lily Pons. With her will be heard, on the opening night of the season, Georges Thill, DeLuca, Gladys Swarthout, Ezio Pinza and a gallant cast, not the least of which are Rita De LePorte, Alexis Kosloff and the ballet. The Saturday performance of "Tales of Hoffmann" will feature a new soprano taking the leading part in the Olympic song by Lily Pons. Unlit, Glynn sung by Antonio by Luceira Bori. In the cast will also be Gladys Swarthout, Lawrence Tibbett, Frederick Jagel, Leon Rothier, Paval Ludikar and a host of others. Thus Cleveland will hear Lily Pons, Luceira Bori and Lawrence Tibbett, each twice, and Rosa Ponselle, Beniamino Gigli, Giovanni Martinielli, Georges Thill, Frederick Jagel and all in a short season of four performances. "The operas named express most strikingly the wishes of the operalovers of all parts of Ohio," said U. S. Senator Robert J. Bulkley, in announcing the repertoire. The entire personnel of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York will come to Cleveland for the opera, the full orchestra, chorus and ballet and its great stars. The conductors will again include Tullio Serafin, Louis Hasselmans and Wilfred Pelletier. Rita De Leporte, one of the outstanding favorites of the Stadium Grand Opera, last summer, will be given access to the operas to be given in years and especially rich in opportunities for SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MISS BETTY BROWN ETHEL WATERS. 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS MERS! "Rhapsoy in Blue," as though each and every note was flying from her finger tips, her swaying body carrying in it the very soul of the song. Ethel Waters is the only entertainer able to fill the void on the American stage since the passing of Bert Williams. There is a wistful pathos to her comedy and she sings her plaintive songs with a genius worthy of the finest forms of musical expression. Caruso could do no more. It is the only performance I have seen in years wherein the audience stops the show at the close of each number. It seems that every dance, every bit of song, every ensemble, the climax, but not until the final curtain drops does the audience lingering and hoping for more—that the night is really over But, what I started out to say that these colored people have done something that puts the white performers of the modern stage to shame. They have staged an entertainment that makes two and a half hours seem like two and a half minutes, so fast does the evening fly. And they have kept clean. There is not a suggestive line in the performance. These people do not have to stoop to dirt. A real artist never does. Take that home with you. Miss Fanny Brice. The members of the cast and the directors are to be congratulated. They have done their people a service in presenting a distinctive, high order of cultural development. A century ago in the jungles of Africa, a half century ago slaves, these people of today give expression to a new form of art. And they offer their show with rare taste and modesty and gloriously wholesome fun. While the white trouper depends upon coarseness and dirt to win his plaudits, a primitive people teaches the white man a lesson.

Superior Ave., Cleveland, O. (Bell 'Phone: CHerry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 UNION IT IS STRONG Detroit Afro-Americans are "fussing among themselves" over the wisdom of picketing and boycotting business places, they patronize largely, because of their refusal to give employment to members of the race. Prejudiced whites, as usual, have brot about the dissension by assuring certain weak-kneed "Uncle Toms" that the "reaction against the race of picketing would be more far reaching than the results obtained." How silly! "Twas ever thus however --- There is no group or class of people in this community that will be more pleased over the announcement that Cleveland is again to have Grand Opera—in April of this year—than ours, because there is no group or class anywhere in the country that furnishes proportionately a larger number of music-lovers, especially lovers of the best music. And nowhere in the world is opera given on a grander scale, each year, than right here in Cleveland's public auditorium. This was proven, last year, to the satisfaction of all concerned. CELEBRATE ATTUCKS DAY! If you have not done so, Sunday or as soon as possible celebrate Crispus Attucks day, March 5. That is as important to us, and ought to be to all other loyal Americans, as George Washington's 200th birthday which is being celebrated throughout the country. Crispus Attucks was the first martyr to die for the freedom of this country and a bill to make March 5 a holiday is soon to be introduced in the Congress. The monument, on Boston Common, dedicated to the memory of Attucks by the citizens of Massachusetts in 1888, and a poem, composed by the great Irish patriot, John Boyle O'Reilly, is all that has ever been done to encourage the younger generations of Americans, particularly those of our group, to keep alive in their minds and hearts the great sacrifice for this country Crispus Attucks made. MORE ACTION NEEDED As a result of that mob demonstration in Woodland Ave., this city last fall, Wm. Hughey, a leader of the unemployed in the demonstration, was arrested and charged with assault to kill. Recently his release was secured by a local attorney (Miss Yetta Land) for the I. L. D. which doubtless sponsored the demonstration in which two local Afro-Americans (Rayford and Jackson), unemployed workers, were killed. The I. L. D. with the support of our people of this community ought now to start action looking to the apprehension and punishment of those who fired into the mob of unemployed and killed Rayford and Jackson. This matter ought not to be allowed to rest longer without action. Police who fired into the mob were white washed at a hearing, several months ago. That is as it always is, but does not necessarily prevent further action in the matter. N. A. A. C. P. HIGH SALARIES. Editor W. L. Porter of the Knoxville East Tennessee News is not alone in his criticisms of the N. A. A. C. P.'s conduct in the Scottsboro, Ala. case. From beginning to end it was anything but creditable to the organization, to say the least. Therefore, one need not be surprised to learn of the N. A. A. C. P.'s "ruthless expenditure of vast sums of money collected" for the purpose of aiding the Scottsboro victims of southern prejudice and race-hatred. The news reference to "high salaries paid officers of the N. A. A. C. P." reminds us of the fact that just how much they are paid is covered up in the organization's budget system and apparently religiously kept from the knowledge of the N. A. A. C. P. membership and others. They have a right to know, and ought to know, how much their "high salaried officials" are receiving for services rendered or alleged to have been rendered. Their course in both the Scottsboro victims' case and in the matter of their high salaries are much alike in some respects. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Discussion among local "Negro" Democratic assistant ward leaders is delaying several appointments, it seems. Current rumor has it that Selby Minor, temporarily deposed assistant leader in ward 18, has apparently successfully opposed the appointment of a man by the name of Brown to the superintendent of the Central Ave. bath-house for alleged reasons that have been open to more or less invidious public comment. Meantime, the veteran Democrat of color, Walter L. Brown, has a very probable probability of receiving the appointment because he is really the most deserving of the "Negro" Democratic coterie. Walter has been active in the local Democrat ranks longer than the all rest of his political Afro co-workers' lengths of service combined, and Democratic local leader, W. Burr Gonger, knows and appreciates this fact. Current rumor also has it that U. S. Senator Robert J. Bukley will only recommended the latter to the garbage plant and that the latter failed to get the appointment because of Minor's sledge-hammer blows over the telephone to Mr. Gonger which Dwight heard. The result is it is beginning to look as if Selby is in a fair way to kick himself out of his position as assistant county prosecutor. When The Rounder read his statement sent to The Gazette, several months ago that he (Minor) was prosecuting his own people because he preferred to do so, it not only because of us as assistant county prosecutor. By the way, that word, "pain," reminds The Rounder of the current rumor to the effect that Councilman Larry Payne is grooming his candidacy for municipal judge. To date not a single "Negro" Democrat has been appointed to a good position in the city government and the rank and file have received very few jobs. How come? BOYDSTON POST NEWS At a recent dinner meeting of Shupe Machine Gun post, Wallace E. Stokes, commander of Boydpost, was one of the speakers. Our post was well represented at the speakers' table by him. Harry J. Walker and Samuel V. Perry.

Gibbs, was the escort for the commander of the Milk director the veneer's bureau. County Commander James Suhr and County Secretary Jim Saunders also spoke. In conjunction with Lafayette Community center, the post will give an up-to-date American Legion program, March 17, at the school. "VILLA LEWARO" SOLD. New York City.—The Companions of the Forest of America (white lodge) have purchased Villa Laewaro, the palatial Mme. C. J. Walker residence, located in the fashionable district of Irvington-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. City, and will use it as a retreat for tired mothers. It is said that Mme. Walker put $400,000 into the construction of the house and canteen $100,000 in furnishing the interior; paid $50,000 for the pipe-organ and $2,000 for a piano which she installed in the large house.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our moo.violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C.

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 north 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: OBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. just another county. prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county on a safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is the judge, the accuser the amount of the judgment and cost of the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Second 6289 This chapter shall not believe a person concerned in such lynching from prosecutor for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 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 applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fine. The public may be 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 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after a long years of bribery, discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; the white people respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the ability of their race to equal liberty and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.
