Miss Annabelle Covington of Columbus, guest of Mrs J. O. Haitcoh, is visiting an aunt, Mrs Clara Wallace, in West Park for a few days HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Nearly all of the so-called "Negro Democrats" who supported Mayor Ray T. Miller in the last local campaign have gone to the support of Congressman Martin L. Sweeney, Miller's Democratic opponent, this fall. About the only so-called "Negro Democrats" who still remain loyal to Miller are the few given jobs, principally at the garbage plant and elsewhere in the city. As the days slip by, it is made clearer and clearer that Councilman Clayborne George, a candidate for a municipal judgeship, made what is proving to be a great mistake when he permitted his 18th Ward woman leader, Mrs. Lillie Mason, to become chairman of the Hubbard-for-Council campaign committee. Mrs. Mason was made woman-ward-leader by George. The result is the host of friends (courts) in the city, of Charles S. Smith, also a candidate for the council in the 18th Ward, are lining up against George's candidacy for judge. It seems to The Rounder that both George and Hubbard have forseen this. The Baptist Ministers' Conference, the larger of our two local ministers' organizations, is backing the candidacy for re-election of Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our only member of the School Board, while the other body—the Ministers' Alliance—has not even a standstill, either of our two candidates, yet, with its president, Ernest Hall, "heads the David O. Walker-for-School-Board committee," it has been announced. Walker is a Democrat as is Clark, the Afro-American candidate in the 12th ward, running against Herman Finkle. None of our people should "kid" themselves into even thinking for a candidate, the chance of electing two Afro-Americans members of the School Board. Not a chance! We'll be lucky to get one. MOVE MARINES FROM HAITI Agreement Sets Oct. 1, 1934, as Las Date; Bonds Arrangement Made —Should Have Been Dène Long Ago. Washington, D. C.—The United States agreed, Monday, to withdraw the marines from Haiti. The treaty specifies that the local constabulary will be turned over to Haitian officers by Oct. 1, 1934, three months earlier than was provided in an agreement last September. American marines now in Haiti will withdrawn within 30 days of Oct. 1, 1934. The Haitian president may request officers to assist in further training of the local constabulary, but the functions of these may be terminated on 60 days' notice by either party. The new financial arrangement, to go into effect Jan. 1, 1935, provides that existing arrests and detentions by the two governments continue until the outstanding bonds have been amortized or refunded. Unofficial estimates here were that the bonds should be amortized completely by 1944. The Haitian government was given the opportunity, however, to retire the bonds in advance of their due date. Another West Point Cadet San Antonio, Tex.-Charles Y. Thomas of this city has been designated by President Roosevelt as one of those to take the entrance examinations for West Point Military Academy, next March. He is the son of a 10th cavalry sergeant stationed at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. B. O. Davis, Jr., of Cleveland, O., is our only West Point cadet. WALKER BOLTS MAYOR RAY MILLER The Pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, a Candidate for the School-Board, Still a Democrat—Davis the Next Mayor. Congressman Martin L. Sweeney, independent Democratic candidate for mayor, Sunday afternoon declared his organization would not indorse a councilmanic slate not present a councilmanic slate this fall. "So there will be confusion," Sweeney said, "I want to make this clear. I believe in a primary free from boss control. I believe the men and women in a ward who want to represent that ward in Council should stand out and announce themselves EX.-GOV. HARRY L. DAVIS Thrice Elected Mayor of Cleveland, to Be Its Next Mayor—Mark Our Prediction! and let the people who live in their ward decide whom they want. For that reason our organization will not indorse any candidates for the Council. Sweeney spoke at a picnic, of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Ward clubs of his Roosevelt and Repeal League, on Kinsman Rd., near Richmond Rd., Beechwood Village. Rev, David O. Walker, Democratic candidate for the Board of Education and bitter foe of the old Republican organization, sprang something of a surprise by vigorously indorsing Sweeney for mayor. He supported Mayor Ray T. Miller, last year, and is pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church. He said: "When the time comes I am going to announce myself as a supporter of Martin L. Sweeney's candidacy. I can't stand what we've got in the City Hall now—the Miller administration. I helped destroy one political machine (Republican) and the one we have in City Hall now (Democratic, Republican) ever was. I always go with the rebel individual who thinks his own thoughts. That's why I am for Sweeney." Sweeney's speech included attacks on Newton D. Baker, whom he calls "titular head of the local Democratic party," on Welfare Director Bernice S. Pyke, and on the now dormant Association for Criminal Justice, of which Baker is president. Of Mrs. Pyke, now homebound from Europe, he said: "When the impoverished people of this country going to get relief at the period of their greatest need, where is the welfare director? On the high seas or over in Europe. She's a director of her own welfare." Sweeney repeated that J. P. Morgan had placed Baker on his preferred list for 2,000 shares of Alleghany Corp. stock ("for some reason." "People like Mr. Morgan don't give anything away." Sweney said. "When he gives something away there is a reason for it." Former Gov. and Mayor Harry L. Davis, Republican candidate for mayor and Republican county leader, Sunday afternoon attended (on invitation) the Italian-American Brotherhood club picnic at the Brotherhood Country club, Highland and Richmond Rds. in Richmond Heights, but did not speak because it was a social and not a political affair. "Gorilla" in a Draw San Francisco, Calif.—"Gorilla" Jones, middleweight of Akron, O., and Vearl Whitehead (white) of Santa Monica, fought to a draw here. Tuesday day evening. It will be recalled that Referee Bill Doran was severely crushed by the Northern California Broward Association for stopping the fight between these two, about a week ago, and for awarding the decision to Whitehead. "Gorilla" had a big lead and had floored his opponent twice for eight counts each in the ninth round when the contest was stopped. The draw, of Tuesday evening, would indicate that Jones is jockeying for another with Whitehead for a good fat purse. Miss Alice Koiner, E. 93d St., is sponsoring a style show at Cedar "Y." Aug. 24. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENT A STRONG PROTEST TO THE ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION AGAINST ITS "FIRESTONE" POLICY IN LIBERIA Which Amounts to Strangulation—That Two and a Half Million Dollar "Loan"—A Southerner Sent as an "Observer"—Dubois vs. Phillips! Washington, D. C.—Vigorous objection to the American policy in Liberia, to its backing of the Firestone Company interests in that country, to its pressure on European countries to compel them to force Liberia to accept an American financial adviser, to the sending of an American southerner (white) as an "observer" to Liberia, and to the alleged American dictation of a Libarian budget which makes no allowance for public spending. Monday at the State Department by a delegation of citizens of both races of which Dr. Wm. E. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, was spokesman. The delegation charged that the Firestone Company loan of $2,500,000 to Liberia was fraudulent and was based upon the use of slave labor. It charged also that the United States is trying to negotiate a new agreement between Liberia and Firestone which will put the small nation further in debt. The delegation also urged that Liberia be given time to comply with the agreement, subjected to the ultimatum already sent (which the State Department denies) demanding acquiescence by Sept. 1, 1933. The sending of Gen. Blanton Winship, a southerner (white), to observe in Liberia, caused some sharp exchanges between Dr. DuBois and Wm. Phillips, assistant Secretary of State, who received the delegation, and between Mr. Phillips and Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University, and Miss Dorothy Detzer. Finally, just before the delegation left, Dr. DuBois suggested it would have been much wiser to have sent an Afro-American instead of General Winship. Mr. Phillips replied: Yes, it might have been wiser. Wiser, and fifteen minutes. The delegation: Dr DOINGS OF THE RACE. The N. A. A. C. P. Scottsboro fund totaled $3,129.04, Aug. 4, '33. Wm. R.

Jean Baptisto Point de Saible, "free Negro" and the first permanent resident on the site of Chicago is disclosed by "the sober historical record" as "a man in whom the modern city can take legitimate pride," asserts Dr. Milo Qualife in "Chicago—1637—1835," published recently by the University of Chicago Press. Have made no statement regarding the "Negro" and Industrial Recovery Act.

VACATION CRUISES MAKE THE WORLD'S FAIR A REAL PLEASURE TRIP Visitors returning from "A Century of Progress," Chicago's great World's Fair, now in the full height of its glory and activity, are enthusiastic about the marvelous exhibits from all over the world, but those who have enjoyed it the most, according to their own enthusiastic statements, are the five hundred who participated in the first World's Fair Vacation Cruise on the Great SEE-ANDREE Lake Liner To do justice to the innumerable magnificent exhibitions, attractions and diversions of the World's Fair is a severe tax of physical energy of even the most robust, but those who made the trip on the great luxurious ship, the majestic body and mind and fully prepared to make the most of the opportunities of the Fair. The pleasant, companionable, social life on shipboard with the daily entertainments by professional performers, deck sports, games, contests, dancing to an excellent orchestra in the beautiful new ball room which was completed at the cost of many cruises, made the Chicago-bound and the return voyage the most pleasurable vacation imaginable. During the two full days and nights at Chicago the great ship floating hotel. The guests slept and SEEANDBEE served as a luxurious ate aboard so there was no weariness or worry regarding accommodations. Since the single low fare included all expenses, transportation, stateroom, meals, sightseeing trips, and admission to the Fair itself, the question of finances was pretty well settled in advance. Four more of these wonderfully delightful cruises on the great ship SEE-ANDBEE will be operated during the remainder of the summer. The first week, June 10 to July 7th, and the second, July 28 and cover a day period. The next cruise is from August 4th out of Buffalo and August 5th out of Cleveland and includes eight full days, four of which are at the World's Fair. The two later dates are August 21st and August 29th, respectively, out of Cleveland and a day earlier out of Buffalo each of six days' duration. For many years people have regarded the Great Lakes cruise as one of the pleasantest and most restful vacations possible, but this year with the World's Fair as an added attraction, these cruises will be in truth an opportunity of a lifetime.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1933. This is The Gazette's last issue in its fiftieth year. Next week, it starts its fifty-first year. A half century of publications, every week on time, is our record, to date. Is it a fact that the 10,000 persons attending the union S. S. picnic at Garfield park, recently, were refused bathing privileges? Some of our local ministers ought to answer this question because the rumor to that effect is now general, throut the city. According to Congressman Oscar De Priest, "Negro Day" celebration in Chicago in Soldiers' Field, so widely advertised, is a "racket" and not even in or directly connected with the World's Fair known as "A Century of Progress." Here is an exhibition of Chicago "nerve" that is a "humdinger." The southern levee contractors working for the government will have to increase their "Negro" employees (unskilled labor) pay, under the N. R. A. code, from ten cents an hour, working 72, 88 and even 84 hours per week in some places, to 30 cents an hour. There are about thirty thousand of them now working on the levees. --- Why is it there is no concerted movement on our part to stop the War Department's continued insult and degrading of our soldiers in the regular army by making servants of them whenever opportunity affords? This thing has gone on entirely too long already. Continued denunciations of the miserably insulting practice has not done any good. If an adviser for our people is made a deputy administrator under the National Recovery Act, we sincerely hope that a W. F. N. is not selected for the position. They are the kind, however, that have heretofore been preferred by both Republican and Democratic administrations. The steel code, submitted week before last, contained a lower wage scale for Afro-American workers, conclusively showing the urgent need of a competent member of the race being in a position to look after the interests of our workers. Our County Treasurer-Elect John J. Boyle (Dem.), who is not new to the position by any means, is starting out well by appointing Adam J. Damm, office-manager of the Cleveland district, Ohio Liquor Control Commission, and former city treasurer, his chief deputy county treasurer, to take office with him, Sept. 4. Mr. Boyle, Tuesday, also announced five other appointments and said that fifty more would be made on Labor Day. He made a good treasurer in the past and will make a good one in the future. Mr. Boyle succeeds County Treasurer L. G. Collister (Repub.) If something is not done soon to curb the activities of the Firestone Rubber Company, of Akron, O., in Liberia, West Africa, that organization will soon control if indeed it does not own the little black republic. Using its extensive rubber-tree plantations in Liberia as a basis, and backed by the government of this country, the company has already forced a loan of $2,500,000 on the little republic and is seeking to put it further in debt. It now looks as if Liberia made a fatal mistake when it made extensive grants of lands to the Firestone Company for its cultivation of rubber plants. According to the I. L. D., Ex-U. S. Senator "Tom Tom" Heffin of Georgia, Ku Klux Klan orator, is very active, these days, in the effort to convict our Scottsboro, Ala. boy-victims, and in case this fails, to promote their lynching. He is also working with Knight, Alabama's Attorney General, who prosecuted the boys and will do so again in October. It is our belief that the U. S. Supreme Court will eventually have to order the discharge of those boys because it is simply impossible to secure them a fair trial in the state of Alabama. This was made perfectly clear by that farce technically termed the Heywood Patterson trial at Decatur, Ala., some months ago. AN EQUAL WAGE SCALE. Miss Francis Perkins, secretary of labor in Pfesident Roosevelt's cabinet, calls attention to the low rates of wages, 25c and 27c per hour, paid "Negro" labor in the two southern districts. Also to the lower standard of living of "Negro" laborers, saying: "A way must be found of gradually raising the living standard of the colored laborers, and increased wages that will not unfairly compete with the wages of the white laborers, are essential to achieving this end." Just what does she mean when she says "increased wages that will not unfairly compete with the wages of white laborers"? That looks very much to us as paving the way to an excuse for lower rates for colored laborers under the N. R. A. There should be no difference in the rate paid colored and white labor doing the same kind of work in the South or the North of this country. A WHITE U. S. REGISTER! President Roosevelt has appointed "Uncle Bill" Durbin (white), an old and well-known southern Ohio Democrat, register of the U. S. treasury, to succeed a member of the race, Jefferson Cloage of West Virginia. This place has invariably been given to an Afro-American by Republican Presidents. President Wilson appointed an Indian to the position. Strange that Roosevelt could not find an Afro-American Democrat for the place. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding named Harley D. Speelman (white) of this state, to the place, the only Republican President to appoint a white register in many years. Charles Cottrell of Toledo, a member of the race, was not considered in connection with the appointment at the time because his "strong support" of Harding, as a candidate, was work under pay in Republican headquarters at Chicago. No explanation from the President for "ignoring Cottrell" was necessary, under the circumstances. We know this will be prime information to some of his friends at the Nation's Capital as well as in Ohio and Chicago, but it is a fact nevertheless. Prime Sport News Pittsburgh. Pa.—Sammy (Kid) Slaughter, Terre Haute's sensational middleweight, added the scalp of Jack King (white) to his mounting list here, last week, Monday, when he sent the Little Rock, Ark., star to the canvas for quits in the sixth stanza. Slaughter came here fresh from a sterling win over "Tiger" Roy Williams (white) of Chicago, who had never before been beaten in that section. King was floored three times previous to the finishing knockdown. The final blow was a terrific right to the jaw preceded by left jabs to the kidneys. Tolan Now a Professional **Tolan Now a Professional.** Detroit, Mich.-Eddie Tolan, former University of Michigan sprint ace, two-event winner in the 1932 Olympiad and holder of the world's recognized record for 100-meters, is back in training. He trained at AA in Chicago, the last week in June, because the officials of that amateur association termed him a "professional" because of his brief appearance on the stage, the former sprint king will now turn his attention to running for money. Tolan plans to meet Allen Robertson, Australian professional, in a series of races to determine the champion of the season, with a former team-mate (Eddie Gaines) at Cass Technical high school. Gaines is coach at Lincoln high, this city. DO YOU KNOW KIRK'S CHILDREN? A Boy and Girl About 10 and 12 Years of Age, Respectively—$700 to Be Distributed. Capt. Chas. E.

AUGUST 12. 1933. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 62728. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 62729. "Serious injury" defined. 62730. Damages in case of assault. 62731. Damages in case of lynching. 62732. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 62733. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 62744. Limitations of action. 62745. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 62746. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 62747. County's right of action against member of mob. 62748. County's right of action against another county. 62749. Non-relief from prosecution. NOW THIS IS A SHORT HOLE-JUST HIT THE BALL LIKE I BEEN TELLIN' YA TO YES. MISTER KEEFE WHOOPIE, YOU'RE IN, MR. DINKY WHAT, THE HOLE? NO- THE ROUGH? 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 authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by any person of 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," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6280.

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 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 be fined. 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. Rodent Pays Extreme Penalty in Bold Raid at Capital An arch-criminal was electrocuted within a few blocks of the Ohio State Penitentiary recently without benefit of clergy or supervision of the warden. Victim: a sharp - toothed rat. Crime: Gnawing half through an inch-thick telephone cable leading into the Ohio State Journal building in Columbus, O. Damage: A brief lull in news gathering activities while lines were being repaired. Punishment: Electrocution at the scene of the crime. Moral: Crime doesn't pay. During 1932 the number of stockholders in the American Telephone and Telegraph Company increased from 644,903 to 700,851. The average number of shares held is 26.6 per stockholder. The majority are women. The longest direct all-cable telephone circuits in the world are in the United States. They run from New York to Dallas, Tex. 1,850 miles. Fishing Craft Has Phone Service and Other Household Conveniences 0 FISHING is more than a hobby with Dr. H. M. Hann and Roy Mast, of Zanesville, O. It's an art. As they cruise along the beautiful Muskingum river in their 50-foot power-driven house boat, sometimes as far as the Ohio river, they combine ocean-liner luxury with the sport of pulling in the big ones. Home convenience is the keynote of the craft. It not only is equipped with a radio, a bath, running water, a kitchenette and electric lights, but also has a private telephone over which the fishermen keep in touch with their homes and offices. At their home port—Zanesville their own private telephone pole, installed through co-operation of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, stands beside their landing and as soon as the boat is docked the telephone aboard the craft is connected with the outside telephone system. Through this connection they can reach any other telephone in the city, the United States and many foreign countries, by placing calls just as they would from the telephones in their homes. When they make extended visits to cities along the river, they may obtain a similar connection by requesting the local telephone company to establish a line to the point where their boat is anchored. The two sportsmen have almost unlimited possibilities for trips from World Parley Sets Telephone Record A new record for international telephone calls was set at the world economic conference in London, England. During the first week, more than 8,000 calls to all parts of the world were made from Geological Museum where the conference was held, and 500 of these were special priority calls by foreign delegates. Before locating Dr. and Mrs. Robert L. Eastman in Denver, Col, long distance telephone operators of Mt. Vernon, O., called 30 cities in Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Utah to notify them of the death of Mrs. Eastman's mother. Dr. and Mrs. Eastman were touring the west on their honeymoon when the calls were made. All countries in the world having more than 100,000 telephones, except China, Japan, New Zealand and Russia, can be reached from any telephone in Ohio. OHIOAN WINS PRAISE OF ROUMANIAN KING Telephone Engineering Leads To Court Presentation For his excellent work in helping to engineer the installation of a modern telephone system in Roumania, Frederick Sacksteder, a former resident of Ohio, received royal recognition and the praise of a king. Sacksteder, who is the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Sacksteder of Mechanicsburg, O. , was presented to King Carol of Roumania following the inauguration of an up-to-date telephone exchange in Bucharest. The king was enthusiastic in his praise of the new exchange and complimented the American for his part in its establishment. Just As Keefe Told Him THE SHIP Above: The fisherman's floating heaven.

The Cab Calloway dance, last week Thursday evening, upstairs in the hallway at a small hall of Public Hall, did not prove the enjoyable affair those who attended anticipated.

Then, too, there are monkeys that it possible to praise Eugene O'Neil's plays, "The Nigger", "The Emperor Jones" and other productions very harmful to the race. Lord, have mercy! Last Saturday noon, as usual, The Rounder dined at Ludolf Mueller's restaurant stand in the Woodland Market, just inside of the Woodland Ave. entrance, the best place in the city to get a good lunch or meal. And this is what we had: Roast lamb (not mutton), carrots and peas, mashed potatoes, postum (tea, coffee or plum) or plum (near fresh (ry) bread and the best of butter, etc. For all of this we paid only 35 cents. Mr. Mueller also serves the best beer and soft drinks in the city. Go in and see for yourself. Walter R. McCornack, local architect, head of "a slum clearance" rehousing project known as Cleveland Homes, Inc., has announced that the land in the area bounded by Cedar and Central Aves., extending from E. 22q to E. 36th St., is what they have their eyes on now; that it is only one mile from the city. It also that his company has the right under the law to force, thrue the courts, the sale of any land in these areas they desire. This will practically be confiscation of privately owned property which the people who own land in the so-called slum areas should begin to pay attention to at once. McCornack's company, recently "chartered for slum clearance in the city," intends to bring about a "change in the land (and land) improved" with modern housing for lower (poorer) income groups of people. It freely and publically admits that the lowest (poorest) income groups can only be provided such housing with the aid of philanthropy. This would necessarily remove our people as residents of that ward and elsewhere in the third district. The fatal mistake of the company is to too closely link the basis value of the land it wishes to practically confiscate, in Ward 11 and the district for its "modern housing" project, "with parks," etc. CHARACTER! Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For fifty years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR.
