WILBERFORCE. — At a meeting of the board of trustees of the state department of the university, last week Friday, a committee consisting of Rev. Wilbur Page and Rev. J. F. Williams of Cincinnati, Dwight R. Williams of Cleveland was appointed to confer with the State Board of Control at Columbus, on Wednesday of this week, relative to the election of a superintendent of the state department to succeed Supt. Richard C. Bundy, deceased. The Board of Trustees will meet here immediately

after its committee's conference with the State Board of Control. The department has been without a head ever since the death of Mr. Bundy, several weeks ago. Rev. Russell S. Brown of Cleveland resigned from the Board, last week, in order that he might be eligible to be a candidate for superintendent. Bishop Joshua H. Jones is sponsoring a program for president of Kittrell college, North Carolina. He was voted on, last week Friday, but failed to muster a sufficient number of votes and ought not to be elected for reasons obvious. This would be giving complete control of the state department over to the A. M. E. Church which already has too many members of the Board of Trustees because it is only entitled, under the law, to four of the eight members and has been appointed Mr. D. K. Goy of Cleveland has been appointed by Gov. George White as the successor of Rev. Russell S. Brown. Bishop Jones is becoming quite frail. He has lost the sight of one eye and the other is affected.
Expelled From The Labor Defense
Long Branch, N. J.—Because she used a grossly insulting term in speaking of our workers, Mrs. Caroline Haxo last week found herself outside of the local of the International Labor Defense to which she had belonged. The decision to expel Mrs. Haxo was made by a jury of white workers who in a public trial heard the testimony against her.

REFUSED TO BE "BULLDOZED"!
Because They Were Helping to Beat Down American Damphool Race Prejudice—Not Opposed to Intermarriage.
Omaha, Neb.—"Would you want your daughter to dance with Negroes and to marry one of them?" asked reporters for the local press as they looked thru the bars of the City Jail here at Mrs. Sue Stalker, wife of George Stalker, local organizer for the Communist party. And without hesitation Mrs. Stalker, whose laughter, Margaret, is 14 years old, replied: "I don't object to my daughter dancing with Negroes, and I would rather the married a class-conscious Negro who fights for his rights than a white man who licks the boots of the bosses."
The story of how Mr. and Mrs. Stalker landed in the city jail on a vagrancy charge is worth telling. A dance was held here recently under the auspices of the League of Struggle. Because workers of both races mingled freely, the police raided the dance and arrested Roger Porter, a member of the race, Mr. and Mrs. Stalker at once went to the court with help of the international Labor Defense, succeeded in freeing him. On March 26, Stalker and his wife were arrested on a charge of "vagrancy." The questions of the reporters, the judge and prosecuting attorneys in court were concerned for the most part with the opinions of the defendants on the right of both races to mingle and to intermarry. The case was so obviously a "frame-up" that the court was forced to dismiss it, but not before the no-confidence had been before the no uncertain terms "Will you leave town?" asked the judge of Stalker who answered: "Not by a painful!" replied Stalker.
NEW STEPS TO SAVE THE BOY-VICTIMS!
Being Taken by The I. L. D.—N. Y.
City Attorney to Head Case
A European Tour.
New York City.—Reaffirming its determination to leave no stone unturned in the fight against the Sarmiento boys, the International Labor Defense last week announced the retention, as chief counsel in the case, of Walter Pollack, well-known New York lawyer. Mr. Pollack is an associate of Benjamin N. Cardozo, recently appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court. He has had much experience in arguing cases before the highest court bench. He was appointed U. S. Attorney in the Nickey Arnstein case. It was Pollack who conducted the work of the Wickersham Commission which recently issued its report on "Lawless Enforcement of the Law."
The German Red Aid has caned to the I. L. D. an invitation to one of the mothers of the Scottsboro boys to tour Germany and other European countries in behalf of the boys' freedom.
Lawyers for the I. L. D. are taking steps to secure the immediate release on bail of Roy Wright, the only one of the nine boys who was not sentenced to death in the Scottsboro court last year, and of Eugene Williams, whom the decision of the Alabama Supreme Court remanded for a new trial. A change of venue to Birmingham will be demanded.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.
Netted $12,000 For a Kindly Act— Adopted Son Died in the World War.
Walter Hines, age 48, E. 95th St. for the past 16 years in charge of the dining-room at the City club, died at Lakeside hospital. Saturday after a brief illness. He is survived by the widow, two sisters in Springfield and two nephews here. Mr. Hines was headwaiter of Hotel Hollenden for seven years, 20 years ago. He was a teacher at the school. His father, age 7, died in Springfield, two weeks ago. Years ago, cold and hungry, a boy came to Mr. Hines' door one winter night, seeking lodging. He took him in, gave him a home and later adopted him. During the World War, the young man went into the amy, was taken sick and died. After the war, Hines drew his adopted son's death compensation until the government found that he was not the real owner of the house and the payments. But several lawyers at the City Club were interested in the case and carried it into the federal courts. They won the compensation for Mr. Hines. It amounted to about $12,000, some of which he used in helping other young men.
WALTER HINES.
They buried Walter Hines yesterday. Notable Clevelanders, his friends, attended the funeral. For 16 years Hines was chief factum of the City Club dining room. For seven years before that he was at the Hines Club, where he descension in the "Walter" by which Hines was known to hundreds
perhaps thousands. These men were his real friends. Human warmth, the genuineness of a friendly and sincere person, gave to Walter Hines' relation to his diners a fine benediction. The passing of Walter Hines has brought home to many what an individual quality, that man, to the world. The place of Walter Hines in Cleveland will never be completely filled.—The Cleveland Daily Press, April 6, '32.
A delegation from the City Club attended the funeral services, Tuesday, of Walter F. Hines, age 48, veteran waiter at the club and Hotel Hollenden, who died, last week Friday, after an illness of several weeks. The services were at Mt. Zion Cong. church. Ted Robinson, president of the City Club, gave a short talk as part of the services. Among those in the delegation were: Carl D. Friedolin, Peter Witt, Dmills, J. D. Taplin, G. A. Gessel, Henry P. Boynton, Charles B. Ryan, F. H. Kerbenz, Dr. R. M. Fagan, E. H. Wiley, Edward C. Crudleau, W. Raper, Cloyd Miller, E. H. Devier, Sidney Rosenbaum and E. T. Dower, Rev. Russell S. Brown, pastor of the church, conducted the services.
GETS PEN TERM
"Billy" Richardson's Retrial Plea Denied, But He Is Granted a 30-Day Stay of Execution of Sentence.
Wm. Richardson, one of Cleveland's "Big Four" policy game and lottery operators, last Saturday was given an indeterminate sentence in the Ohio penitentiary after Judge Skelel had overruled a motion for a new trial in his conviction on a charge of perjury. At the request of Richardson's attorney, Judge Skelel granted Richardson a 30-day respite in order that he might appeal the decision. He was convicted of perjury on testimony that he first reported to police that he was shot at by Charles Coletto, alleged racketeer, a year ago last January, but a short time later denied the statement and swore he did not know who had shot at him.

"Gorilla" Kayoes "Chuck"
Akron O. O. - anticipate "Gorilla" (Wm.) Jones, middleweight champion of the world, last week Thursday night made an impressive showing before the home-folk in his first fistic appearance here, since winning the title in the recent B. F. tournament, by knocking out "Chuck" Burns (white) of San Antonio in the third round. Jones took the initiative in the second round and started an attack that was finished in the third when he sent Burns down for a count of six with hard right to the jaw. Then with hard right to the left of lefts and rights, but "Chuck" was up again after a count of four only to run into another broadside that kept him down for nine. Once more he came up but it was his last time after Jones delivered a few more lefts and rights.
No "Courage". No Fight
In speaking of old Tom Heeney's insistence on his drink of ale before every fight, Walter Lenny, his manager, the other day recalled another fighter who demanded ever stronger forms of stimulation during his bouts. "There was a colored fighter in Philadelphia named Budd Todd who had to have a drink of whisky after every round. 'Courage,' he called it. After every round he would yell to his seconds, 'Give me courage.' In one fight the refreshments gave out at the end of the fourth round so Todd quit in the fifth. 'No more courage, no more fight,' he said. That was the first fight I ever heard of Todd losing."

Plead For Scottsboro Victims.
Washington, D. C.—Three Vassar College students (white), Riva Stocker, a senior; Evelyn Rosenthal, a junior, and Dorothy Lippincott, a sophomore, last week Friday arrived from N. Y. City and pled with members of the Senate to intervene in the case of the eight innocent Scottsboro, Ala. boy-victims, of southern race-prejudice, sentenced to death. They were joined here by Julia Heiman of Smith College, Florence Smith of Wellesley, and Vera Joseph of Barnard, and other representatives of Goucher, University of North Carolina and Swarthmore college. All "white."

The Gazette is pleased to announce that the injunction restraining President Anthony Overton and other directors of the Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago from interfering with them in the discharge of their "duties," secured recently by the rebellious secretary and manager of agencies of the company, was dissolved by a Chicago court. Wednesday of this week. This will undoubtedly cost them their positions and place the company in a far better position before the public at large as well as its stockholders and policyholders.
Atty. John E. Ballard had a very interesting communication in the Plain Dealer, one day fast week, on the harm that would be done by women (especially "lady-teachers") smoking in the presence of "youngsters". It was addressed particularly to our local Board of Education and ought to make a splendid impression on its members. Mr. Ballard's communication was caused by an announcement in the local daily press that the Board "had decided to set apart a smoking room or lady-teachers to be substantially the equal of that of the opposite sex." Lord, have mercy! Whither are we drifting?
BACK IN THE PARTY AGAIN.
In his letter to Dr. H. J. Knapp, Cleveland's Commissioner of health, resigning his position as a district physician of this city, Dr. E. J. Gregg had the following, "a mouthful".
"It is very apparent that it is the policy of the present (Miller) administration to retain in the employ of the city only those who are bona
side Democrats without regard to efficiency of service."
That is sure a "hot" one and the truth. Welcome back into the Republican ranks, Doctor, providing of course, you side-step in the future all "jim-crow" efforts as well as cheap peanut Democracy. It is just too bad that you had to be replaced in the City Council by no better a representative of our people than that "Blossom Triplet". Your flirting with the Democrats while in the Council, particularly your vote, 'or a Bohemian Democrat and consequent failure to vote for a member of the race, in that memorable contest between Orlikowski and Davis for membership in the civil service commission, were what spelled "taps" for Councilman E. J. Gregg.
Before and after the recent election, The Gazette continued to warn our misguided so-called local "Negro" Democrats that they were going to be sadly disappointed for allowing themselves to be fed promises of appointments to good positions and jobs in return for their support of the Democratic candidate for mayor. They were told by local Democratic leaders (white) and swallowed it, like a young sparrow does a worm, that even better representation would be given them under Mayor Miller than our people received from the local Republican organization. What has been the result to date? The best jobs our people held under the Republican regime, namely, the superintendency of the garbage plant, a clerkship in the city treasurer's office, an assistant police prosecutor, an assistant building inspector as well as such jobs as garbage inspector, janitors at the City Hall, garbage and rubish collectors and many others in recent weeks. In the street and other departments of the city where there were groups of eight and ten of our people, with possibly one or two of the other race, sent out to make repairs, etc., under Mayor Miller the groups now consist of eight or ten white Democrats and only one or two of our people, just reversing the order of things under Republican control. The result is, even sooner than we expected, the disappointment predicted has arrived, with the result that the leaders of the so-called local "Negro" Democrats have become greatly discouraged and have already abandoned the idea of greatly increasing their numbers with converts of color from the Republican ranks they expected to get as the result of the good positions and numerous jobs promised by the local Democratic leaders (white). It is just too bad, isn't it? Twas ever thus, however, as we predicted time and again before and immediately after the recent election.

In a cablegram, received from the German Red Aid by the I. L. D. in New York, an invitation to tour Germany and Europe has been extended to Mrs. L. D. of one of the nine Scotsborough, Ala. boy-victims whose death-sentence on "taked" charges of assault, was recently affirmed by the Alabama Supreme court.
When the I. L. D. delegation called on "The Blossom Triplets", Wednesday noon, they were told that "Bundy was out of town." Payne "side-steped" the delegation's request that he sign their agreement against the burglar of those battled Scotsborough Ala. boy-victims of baneful southern race-prejudice. Evidently they did not get to see Councilman George.

Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (§ 92 162. 8)
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 against such person, who is killed by such 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 commissioner 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 a judge, unless more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287.

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 ransack costs from 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 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 City Clerk, which the officer had enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
Sec. 12240. 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 for the purpose of the 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. 12241. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the court 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.
Capt. Chas. E. Froy, ex. sec. Cedar "Y," announced, Monday, that on the occasion of the inauguration of Edwin Worthington as chairman of Cedar Branch "Y," this (Saturday) evening, Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the Afro-American-work department, National Council Y. M. C. A. N. Y, City, will be the guest speaker.
The Cedar "Y" basketball team has won several games in Akron and Cleveland in the last ten days. The members are Eugenia Murrell, capt.; Burton Murray, coach; Dolly and Alice Murrell, Alice Green, Ione Kenny and Vashti Parker. The Misses Dolly Murrell, Ione and Marie Kenny will represent the Cent. Ave. bathhouse community center in the annual inter-bathhouse swimming meet.
Hon. Perry B. Jackson addressed Bethamy Baptist church lyceum, Sunday afternoon, discussing "Present Day Problems and Difficulties Facing Us."

He called for unselfish and co-operative leadership.

How One Man Lost 22 Lbs. of Fat
Mr. Herman Runkis of Detroit writes: "A few lines of thanks from a rheumatism sufferer — my first bottle of Kruschen Salts took all the aches and swellings out of my joints — with my first bottle I went on a diet and lost 22 pounds and now I feel like a new man." BELLY and quickly take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast.
For your health's sake ask for and get Kruschen—the cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle at druggists in world and if after first bottle you joyfully satisfied with results money back. All good druggists will be glad to supply you.

ASSASSIN
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, in dulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assam!

Q
"The story of the Civil War in pictures" is the way the accompanying photographs of Abraham Lincoln are described by Dr. Louis A. Warren, director of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation of Fort Wayne, Ind., one of the foremost of Lincolnian scholars.
The first picture, one of the most celebrated of the beardless Lincoln portraits, was used as a campaign photograph in the presidential campaign of 1860. It was taken during the week of June 16, 1860, by the photographer, Hesler, of Chicago, and is known to Lincoln students as "The Candidate Lincoln." It depicts the martyrned president as he was in the prime of life just before he extered the White House.
The other picture, known as "The Triumphant Lincoln," was taken just five years later and is believed to be the last photograph which President Lincoln ever had taken. It was made by the Washington photographer, Gardner, and the date is believed to be April 9, 1865, on the very day that news of General Lee's surrender at Appomattox reached the President—just five days before Lincoln's assassination by John Wilkes Booth.

Was Daughter of Humble Pioneer, Says Doctor Louis A. Warren.
FORT WAYNE, IND.—Attempts of historians to connect Abraham Lincoln's first sweetheart, Ann Rutledge, with the distinguished family of South Carolina have failed, it was announced here by Dr. Louis A. Warren, director of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation.
"Intensive studies in the records of pioneer families fail to reveal any connection between the Ann Rutledge whom Abraham Lincoln courted in New Salem, Ill., and the famous Rutledge of South Carolina," Doctor Warren asserted. "Until some duly authorized records show such a connection, it is best to think of Ann Rutledge as a daughter of a humble pioneer, moving in about the same social circles as Lincoln, who said just a century ago this year:
"I was born and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life. I have no wealthy or popular relations or friends to recommend me."
Doctor Warren, known as one of the foremost Lincoln scholars, was appointed director of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation when that organization was endowed by the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company to perpetuate Lincoln Lore and further study of Lincoln's life. He is the author of "Lincoln's Parentage and Childhood" and has made many contributions to the fund of information on Lincoln's ancestry.
"There was a colony of Rutledges in Augusta County, Virginia, which may prove to be the same family from which Ann Rutledge descended," Doctor Warren said, pointing out that it was in the same county that Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln, was born. He suggested that Ann's ancestors probably followed the same pioneering trail from Virginia, through Kentucky and Indiana, to New Salem, IL, that the Lincoln followed.
"But the idea that Ann Rutledge was descended from the South Carolina aristocrats of the same name probably originated with a romance. All attempts to prove the relationship have failed."
Lincoln Great Admirer of Washington

Composite photographs were not uncommon even in the "Way back when—" days. Here is a celebrated one of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln that is doubly composite. Having no full-length portrait of Lincoln available, the photographer merged Lincoln's head with John C. Calhoun's body. This composite was then merged with the famous Washington portrait, and the resulting picture—an obvious fake, since Lincoln was not born till ten years after Washington died—was widely sold under the title, "The Father, and Savior of Our Country."

Best of Beardless Pictures.
"This photograph, made at Springfield, IL., by the Chicago artist, Hesler, is by all odds the most popular of the numerous beardless pictures of the Emancipator. After it was made and exhibited to Mr. Lincoln, he told the photographer:
"Well, that looks better, and expresses me better than any I have ever seen; if it pleases the people I am satisfied."
"The original negative from which this picture was made came very close to being destroyed by a fire that swept Mr. Hesler's Chicago studio in 1868. Mr. Hesler had sold his studio less than a year previous to the fire and had removed the negative with his personal belongings."
Of the other photograph, "The Trumphant Lincoln," Doctor Warren comments as follows:
"The expression on Lincoln's face in this picture, as in so many of the others, seems to interpret the very atmosphere in which the photograph was taken.

FORT WAYNE, IND—Research into the life of Abraham Lincoln has definitely established that George Washington was the foremost of Lincoln's heroes, according to Dr. Louis A. Warren, director of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation.
"The story of Lincoln's boyhood interest in 'Weems' Life of Washington" is well known." Doctor Warren pointed out in his statement made public here, but it has only recently been established how enduring those boyhood impressions turned out to be.
"It is difficult to exaggerate the influence which Washington exerted over the man who was destined to be elevated to an equal place in the hearts of the American people. Certainly, young Lincoln must have been impressed when he read these words in Weems' biography of Washington:
"Young reader! Go by way; think

rived at City Point to observe at first hand some action by the troops. He became so intensely interested in the maneuvers that he remained there until April 7. Just two days later, after he had arrived in Washington, the news of Lee's surrender reached him. It seems to have been accepted generally that this photograph was made on that day, April 9. There was usually some specific occasion or urgent demand that brought him to the photographer, and the winning of the war would be a sufficient incentive to suggest the taking of his photograph. Lost 25 Pounds in Weight. "The expression on Lincoln's face in this picture, while it seems to convey the news of a great victory, is tempered by the compassion which he had for the vanquished.
"If one will observe the photograph made by Hesler when Lincoln became the presidential nominee and compare it with this one taken just five days before his death, he will be unwilling to believe that only five years had intervened between the two sittings. Lincoln is said to have lost 25 pounds in weight during his first administration; certainly he was aged by far more than five years between these two pictures. "Indeed, these two photographs constitute the story of the Civil War in pictures."

of Washington; and HOPE. Though humble thy birth, low thy fortune, and few thy friends, still think of Washington and HOPE.
"But the clinching evidence of Lincoln's great admiration for Washington comes in the tribute he delivered when he was a 33-year-old country lawyer, a tribute which was lost for many years and finally discovered in the worn pages of a country newspaper. Lincoln said:
"We are met to celebrate this day Washington is the mightiest name on earth—long since the mightiest in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name a eulogy is expected. It cannot be To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its naked, deathless splendor leave it shining on."

NEW STUDY AIMS TO PERPETUATE LINCOLN LORE
Expanded Program Announced by Historical Foundation.
FORT WAYNE, IND.—The most comprehensive study of the life and character of Abraham Lincoln ever attempted has been announced here by the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation.

Arthur F. Hall assembled," explained Arthur F. Hall, president of the Lincoln National Life Insurance company, which endowed the foundation.
"After four years of work under the direction of a distinguished Lincolnian scholar, Dr. Louis A. Warren, we have held the necessary groundwork for an expanded program designed to perpetuate Lincoln lore and stimulate interest in his life."
Doctor Warren, who started his study of Lincoln's life while editor of the Larue County Herald at Lincoln's birthplace, Hodgenville, Ky., has organized the foundation into eight bureaus to conduct research, gather material for exhibits, mark sites of historical significance, compile all available information, conduct educational programs, publish books, pamphlets, and magazines, and to provide speakers for all occasions identified with Lincoln's career.
Interest in Lincoln Growing.
"Many new and intensely significant facts are being added to the Lincoln lore through our research," Doctor Warren stated, "and we are finding a growing interest in this subject on the part of the public. In our library we now have the largest private collection of literature ever assembled about any one man, Biblical characters excepted, and we plan in the next few years to expand this wealth of material and make it available to the vast number of Lincoln "fans."
"The foundation is meeting with exceptional success in its work as a result of the splendid co-operation we are receiving from the entire personnel of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. The representatives of this institution, situated in all parts of the United States, are constantly on the lookout for new material and often run across some incident or relic that adds materially to our collection. The company's officers, meanwhile, have been extremely liberal in making it possible for us to acquire many costly documents, relics, and other interesting items."
Constantly Adding to Collection.
Doctor Warren explained that all of the company's officers, from the day of its founding in 1905, had been diligent students of Lincoln's life and had striven to make his ideals their company's ideals. The decision to endow the research foundation came in appreciation of Robert T. Lincoln's authorization for the company to use his father's name and favorite photograph.
Rare Memento
One of the rarest curios in the museum of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation at Fort Wayne, Ind., is this unique paperweight which was in use on the desk of President Lincoln at the time of his assassination. The weight was presented to Dr. S. Neumann, veterinary surgeon general of the Army of the Potomac.

"THE OTHER SIDE" GIVEN BY PRESIDENT OVERTON AND DISTRICT MANAGER HUBBARD.
The State of Illinois Says the Financial Condition of the Victory Life Insurance Company Is Satisfactory
—The Controversy in the Public Press a Great Mistake.
Cleveland, March 26, '32.
Hon. Harry C. Smith
326 Snyder City
Assuring you of our appreciation of your cooperation in the past, I am very truly yours.
My dear Mr. Smith:-I noticed your editorial in this week's issue of The Gazette and from the tone of the article, I am of the opinion that you have written from the material sent directly from Mr. Shaw, or from the article which appeared in certain other weeklies of last week. The article which was flashed all over the country only gave one side which from all indications was made up and given to the public because two officials had been ousted by a vote of twelve out of fourteen of the members present at the Board meeting the two who did not vote were the two who were ousted. No charge for the ouster have not been made public either by the ousted gentlemen or by the other officials of the company.
Under separate cover, I am sending you a copy of this week's issue of the Afro-American. Mr. Overton informed me by letter that the article which appears in the Afro had been released to all of the papers which carried the release of Charles A Shaw, last week. Thus far this is the only paper which has published an Overton article of the opinion that your readers will appreciate your valuable opinion in another issue of your journal, after you have had an opportunity to read both sides and reflect over your experiences and observations of many years passed. I always appreciate the frank and forceful effect of your editorials and I believe that you speak the truth as you know it in them and is for that reason that I am concerned very much about acquainting you with the other side of the question.
I am not attempting to give you my opinion but I will venture to say that neither side will say that the company's financial standing is at present affected. The thing that I am very much concerned about is not the personal affects that it will have upon either of the two gentlemen in question, Mr. Overton, or in question, Mrs. Overton, here, but about the public confidence which is so delicate with regard to Negro enterprises at present.
Having learned about ten days before this outburst that such was brewing in the air, I got in touch with my immediate directing officer and urged him that whatever the troubles might be that it was imperative for the welfare of the public that their differences be threshed out behind closed doors and not in the public press and if the interests of the policyholders, for which he professed so much concern, was at stake the insurance commissioners of the various states would certainly see to it that the policyholders' interests were protected, and in the case of the stockholders, it is the case that the Board of Directors, who are elected to them, to protect their interests, and in my humble opinion the public would have nothing to gain by an airing of personal differences in the columns of the public press. I simply state this in order that you might get an idea of how the public is taking the matter locally.
I am pleased to state that after reading the article in the Afro, we have been able to greatly help our policyholders with the assurance that the Company is not on the rocks as was concluded by them after reading the article the previous week. The local business has not suffered to any great extent by persons refusing to pay their premiums but it has taken practically all the time of the force of the action and reasonable assurance that a condition of the Company warranted the continuation of the payment of their premiums. This has consumed so much time that the sales end of our work has been materially affected.
I believe that when the editors of the public press have had a chance to digest both sides of this question, their valuable opinions will do wonders towards the restoration of public confidence which is so vital to the continuation of any business.
"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN
GOLD!"
Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette,
Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it,
I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold:
I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and have frequently, during the forty-fourth day of the birth of The Gazette, been as the Scotch could say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette.
Yours for the right,
John P. Green.

Chicago, Ill. — Anthony Overton, president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, has issued a statement in answer to the joint-statement of Charles A. Shaw and James E. Stamps, employees who were recently dismissed by the board of directors, but who secured an injunction under which they are still holding their offices, pending a legal determination. Mr. Overton's statement in part says:
"The Victory Life Insurance Company's financial statement, filed with the insurance department of the State of Alabama on December 31, 1981, shows the satisfactory condition of the company."
"Certain garbled, distorted, prejudiced and biased statements sent to the press by certain disgruntled, discharged employees, which were designed to give the public an untrue picture of the management, and, that might reflect upon the solvency of the company, that is, the statement of true facts that will refute the slanderers' misstatements and aspersions fathered by twin ingrates, who, having been succored, fed and fattened, would not only bite the hand that fed them, but, like Sampson, in their blind rage would pull down the pillars of this financial temple of strength about the ears of the detectors, the officers, stockholders, and policy-holders of the company.
"Neither James E. Stamps, former director of agencies, nor Charles A. Shaw, former secretary, owned one share of stock in the Victory Life Insurance Company, prior to September-October, 1931, when, solely to carry out their schemes to disrupt the company, they invested as follows; at $35 per share they purchased one share each, September 3; two shares each October 13, and one joint share on October 13—making a total of three and one-half shares each. These shares were bought by these men just prior to the annual meeting on January 27, 1932, and solely to aid the company and the disruption of the board of directors. Over and against this showing I have to date invested $225,000 of my own money in this enterprise
"Notwithstanding the extreme sacrifice which I had made, constant rumors and information reached me that the very men who benefited most by my sacrifice, were plotting and scheming to oust me from the presidency and elect Dr. Savory of New York as nominal president, and James E. Stamps, as executive vice-president, in full charge, with Shaw as a more authoritative secretary, and one Isaacs as assistant secretary with increased powers. It was also rumored that in the course of time many was to be moved to New York. One of the first steps on the part of Dr. Savory liminary show of his appreciation of their plans was at the special meeting to insist on voting each of the three an increase in salary. Originally I owned about 4,008 of the 8,000 shares. My having surrendered 1,844 shares in the interest of the company, left me without control, in fact with only one-third of the total.
"The public is easily misled by wild and sensational statements of half-truths and misrepresentations. Only by reading, digesting and giving sober and serious consideration to the real and true facts of this controversy, only a small part of the space will permit making public at the time should-fixed opinions be formed. Unfounded rumors should have no part in disturbing the public confidence in a solvent enterprise on the founder and his associates have spent years of toil, time and money in building up in the interest of and protection of the people."
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the offences, or relatives may be avenged and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest.
