The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Wednesday morning's Cleveland Plain Dealer announced that in district No. 1, which is between E. 22nd and E. 30th Sts, and Cedar and Central Aves, practically all the land needed has been optioned and above seventy-five per cent in the entire district. Many of our people own property in that district and in spite of the many warning, published in The Gazette by The Rounder in the last year, have foolishly "optioned" their land to real-state dealers and others. Their cash loss as a result they will soon learn, if indeed they do not know now. Too bad! Councilman Roy Bundy, on invitation of his political "buddy," George H. Bender, president of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican clubs, and Councilman John E. Hubbard, were among the half dozen or more speakers at its meeting, Tuesday night, in the Hollenden Hotel when the seventeen Republican councilmen were the special guests. Wonder if Bundy explained to the other councilmen the other "Blossom Triplets" played in the City Hospital matter when Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom was about to be reappointed by City Manager Daniel E. Morgan over the protests of the loyal self and face-respecting Afro-Americans of this community. He and the other two triplets, Councilman George and Payne, "repeated" a few months ago when they opposed the appointment of a member of the race to the mayor's cabinet and joined with members of the Jewish race to support one of their number for the same purpose. Two other two topics would have been exceptionally interesting to those members of the Republican party who assembled in Hotel Hollenden, Tuesday night, on invitation of the League of Republican clubs. It would have given them a better knowledge of Bundy and his real status among our people of this city and county. Bundy's speech didn't amount to much judging by the following meager notice given it in Wednesday morning's meeting: "Councilman Leroy N. Bundy said one but a demagog would condemn the bond issue." (That's true!) "I am gratified at the number of Democratic councilmen who are supporting it," he said. "I'm sure the people realize that Mayor Davis isn't the only candidate the Commission are not the issue. The only issue in this campaign is whether we shall maintain police and fire protection and other city services." With the assistance of the three Democratic county commissioners, the two local Democratic daily newspapers and the lone Republican daily paper, the local Democratic organization certainly "put over a fast one" on my friend, Independent Democratic County Treasurer John J. Boyle. For several weeks, all of them pounded Mr. Boyle in an effort to make him accept April 24 as the closing date for the payment of taxes. The longer he hesitated, the more they pounded him, knowing full well that if he complied with their demand he would lose thousands of votes in November of taxpayers in the county, so they had hoped for the usual four week postponement of the final date for the payment of taxes. Then when the Democratic state tax commission made the announcement, last week, that they were awaiting a request from County Treasurer Boyle, which they would grant, to postpone the payment of taxes from April 24 to "JIM-CROW NEGROES" Of Los Angeles Endorse the Use of The Most Insulting Mongrel Term Used to Designate Our People. Hollywood, Cal., April 19, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith: I have not been unmindful of your letter of the tenth, which reached me here, and I appreciate the interest in motion pictures which prompted you to write me. I am wondering if you have yourself a picture. I have not had the opportunity to do so but I communicated with the producing company and they say: "Soon after the release of 'Carolina,' a petition was presented to us. JOHN BARRYMORE signed by a considerable number of Negroes who presumably live in Los Angeles. This petition criticized the single use of the word 'nigger' in this picture. Since receipt of the petition we have received letters and messages from a few of those who signed the petition saying that at the time they signed it they had not seen the picture and now that they had seen it they wished to withdraw their opinion of it. "The fact is that Mr. Barrymore, in one of his scenes in 'Carolina,' used the expression in what is intended to be an affectionate manner. Certainly no one who has actually seen the picture could charge him as having directly or indirectly insulted anyone by its use." With personal regards, I am Sincerely yours, Wm. H. Hays, President. Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc. Cleveland, O., April 24, 1934. Hon. Wm. H. Hays, President, M. P. P. & D. of A., Inc., Hollywood, Calif. My dear Mr. Hays:—Your letter of April 19, 34, just received, "Carolina" was on exhibition here, recently, and possibly still is in this city. The words "Sheeny" for the Italian, "kick for the Coyote," "Dark" for the Coon" for Negroes or Afro-Americans, and similar mongrel terms, are synonymous. No intelligent member of my race can hear Mr. Barrymore use the aggratinating insulting mongrel term ("Nigger") in "Carolina" without finching. It cannot possibly be used in an "affectionate manner." Mr. Hays, I do make the charge after you, that the use of the mongrel term is most positively insulting. It is really an insult to one's intelligence to say that it is not, and I am sure you will agree with me when you have seen "Carolina" and heard the miserably insulting, mongrel term used. Those Los Angeles "better" on a signer, whom you write reversed their protest, surely ought to have their heads examined, to say the least. Sincerely, Harry C. Smith. May 15 or to possibly a later date, the county treasurer didn't tumble to what the Democratic forces were trailing to do to him. They surely had him in a hole which he should have promptly stepped out of, putting the onsus on the Democrats by asking for and receiving a postponement of two or four weeks, thus catching the Democratic organization's "jack" and making himself strong with the thousands of tax-payers in the county who were either unable or "hard put" for funds to pay their taxes, Tuesday. The Democratic surveyors will face, with a tremendous handicap, both a Democrat and a Republican candidate for his job who will be backed by their respective organizations and party papers, and he, as an independent Democratic candidate, will be outside the political breast-works, all around. Too bad! "The Lynching" by Samuel Brown, one of the most unusual paintings to be found in an exhibition, is in the Colin Liberty building, Philadelphia.

WOODSON "THEY NEVER LEARNED TO THINK," HE SAYS —TERMS THEM "SEGREGATIONISTS." Our Leading Historian Tells Why Some Persons Cannot Help Being Segregationists—They Suffer Inferiority Complex. In the first place, as I have said elsewhere, Negro segregationists have been mis-educated. They have never learned to think. They have been taught to admire the Hebrew, Greek, the Latin, and the Teuton, and to despise the Negro. The more the Negro receives of such education the worse off he is. Unless a Negro under such circumstances has sufficient independence to learn the truth for himself and the courage to proclaim it, he will be worse off than if he had learned nothing at all in school. Such mis-educated Negroes, instead of becoming an asset to the race, develop into the greatest liability in opposing, discouraging, exploiting, and betraying their own people at every turn on the way through their ordeal. segregationists may be accounted for in this way. Mis-educated Negroes sometimes do worse than give up the fight. Regarding the effort to rise as hopeless such Negroes frequently decide to spend their lives selfishly in exploiting their people for whatever they may be worth. Their education has led them to long for the expensive gewgaws and toys of life by which the white man has exploited the weak in working toward a dispropor In his mis-education the Negro learns that, while his race does not amount to anything, all others have achieved well and the whites have done things even wonderful. The misguided black man, then, falls down and worships the white face. The Negro paints his face and straightens his hair in order to look as much like this "superior" being as possible. Instead of trying to develop himself to attune to the white face, to him, the restricts himself altogether to trying to break down the barriers between him and his "superior" neighbor. Since the Negro combatant has failed in this effort, he sours upon life and would lay himself down and die. On some mis-educated Negroes the effect of this misguidance is more appalling, for they pass beyond the stage of those who worship the white face and become so overawed thereby as not to be able to remain comfortable in the presence of the Nordic. Such Negroes do not feel free to engage in the other where whites are present in large numbers. This timorous element cannot play, sing or speak with freedom before large audiences of the overpowering race. Negro performers, lacking confidence in themselves on such occasions, cannot overcome the feeling that some of the whites then facing the participants can perform these parts better than the Negroes thus functioning. The thus discouraged and mentally enslaved Negroes therefore are circles of his own people. His white educator might well sit back then in the satisfaction of having effected the desired outcome in driving the Negro away and keeping him in a sequestered sphere. Still another element of Negroes who once had hope and did not entirely succumb to the propaganda in our so-called education have lost the will to fight against odds. After being educated they naturally keep before themselves the experiences of the various "superior" races contesting for the promised background and status of their own people. While being daily reminded by the church, the school, and the press of the experiences of those whom the once militant Negro had to combat — experiences which assure success in meeting the ineffective attacks of discontented Negroes—the Negroes, feebly struggling against difficulty, were written by the whites, nothing but discouragement and failure. This misguided Negro's ambition, then, is easily killed by his "education," and he chooses the line of least resistance. The recent accession to the ranks of Negro They Give Mohammedan Names and Say They Were Born in 1555. Detroit, Mich. — Fifteen "Negroes," who gave Hammedamn names and said they were born in Mecca in 1555, were convicted, last Saturday, of disorder conduct as an aftermath of a riot, Wednesday, in which 500 followers of the Cult of Satan were arrested by Judge Arthur E. Gordon sentenced three of them to serve 30 days or pay fines of $25. The others must pay fines of $10 or serve ten days. Twelve women were then put on trial.

To live at least temporarily in the luxury and ease, which the exploiting class offers such Negroes for "selling out" their helpless people, these unprincipled Negroes readily yield and serve the machine to aid in their own undoing. To this class belong most of our politicians, all of whom are not necessarily employed by the Federal or State governments. Men of this type have been set up in all Negro communities. They have their price. Recently there has been much stir about the advocacy of segregation by one of our "leaders." I myself do not like it, and I shall not make another contribution to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People until they clear themselves of this stigma. Some of those who are attacking the man (DuBois) are segregationists, and some are segregationists themselves. I understand that our distinguished "dean" (Kelly Miller) does not like this attitude. Yet he advocated the "jim-crow" Inaugural Ball here in Washington about a year ago; and other "aristocratic" Negroes, in the same city, carried further this idea in having for the benefit of the Warm Springs Foundation in Georgia another big back door dance with the Negro servants of the White House as the guests of honor. There has been no case of segregation of Negroes in the United States that has not widened the breach between the two races. Wherever a form of segregation exists, it will be found that it has been administered in such a way as to embitter the Negro and harm more or less the moral value of the Negro. Negro does not express this constant sense of wrong is no proof that he does not feel it. Carter G. Woodson. one of our girls be appointed a stenographer. "When the office was first opened," Gillespie said, "there were about 150 persons appointed as clerks and stenographers. I suppose the plan was to appoint them temporarily and then have them take the civil service examination. I went to see Col. Hughes and told him I thought it was a shame to hire 150 people and not have a single colored clerk or stenographer among them. He said he would not appoint the girl I suggested and I went away."

Our esteemed contemporary, The Philadelphia Tribune, in its issue of April 19, 1934, published a good portrait showing "the immense crowd of people from every walk of life paying tribute to the late Wm. Monroe Trotter," over which it ran this line: "Ignored in life—honored in death." "Twas ever thus with our people and others. --- Prof. Wm. E. Du Bols, segregationist, was re-elected editor of the Crisis, last week Monday evening, at a meeting in New York City of the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors. Du Bols, who was not present at the meeting, ought to resign for the good of the magazine and the organization. Since the U. S. government has taken over the matter of "housing," projects are bobbing up like dandelions after a warm rain in the spring, but none of them will afford rentals low enough for our people to take advantage of their improved opportunities for living. Then, too, the Democratic federal government, in these housing projects, is promoting racial segregation in the North wherever it is possible to do so. This only makes bad matters worse. --- Attys, Irvin C. Mollison and Wm H. Temple of the legal redress committee of the Chicago N. A. A. C. P. are making a drive with successful damage suits against public places that draw color-lines of one kind and another. Last week, they secured another good cash judgment under the Illinois civil rights law against the owner of a cafe in that city who went there from Texas. Here is a splendid precedent for the Cleveland branch to follow. By the way, what has the local branch done to bring about the arrest of that Scovill Ave. motorman, Gabriel Farkas, who shot the lad, Linton Wade, E. 86th St., several months ago? The City Council, next week, will approve an ordinance authorizing Welfare Director David S. Ingalls to appoint nine citizens as members of a board to supervise the administration of City Hospital and to prevent political manipulation of the hospital's lay staff. We feel sure that the Director and Mayor Harry L. Davis will not overlook the fact that the seventy-five thousand Afro-Americans in this city are entitled to representation on that board. Our two members of the Council's welfare committee, Lawrence Payne (chairman) and John E. Hubbard, should see to it that this is done—that we are given the representation desired. ||||' — From the days of the War of the Rebellion down to the Roosevelt administration, the Democratic South howled incessantly for "states rights." Under the present federal administration they have taken just the opposite stand and as former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan well said in a speech at Toledo, recently, are centralizing, going to the opposite extreme under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's leadership. "No government has ever exercised the strong centralization of today," Mr. Morgan continued. "They have preempted practically all sources of revenue, including those from incomes and from the sale of gasoline, liquor and other commodities." COWARDICE OR PREJUDICE? Either downright cowardice or prejudice is the reason why Miss Constance Fisher, a member of the race, was not permitted to become secretary of the Wilson district of the Associated Charities following the resignation of a Mrs. Johnson (white). The Wilson district in the main serves our men and women. It has Afro-American staff members. But it is apparent that there is not enough liberalism, or plain decency, in the executive management of the Cuyahoga County Relief Association to enable it to act courageously and place in a position of authority a qualified member of the race when such person is obviously in line for promotion. This is not the first time that the local relief organization has revealed its deep-seated hostility toward elevating any of our people to offices they are entitled to hold. So it is time that public explanations be made by Mr. Stockton Raymond, relief director of the C. C. R. A. If he is unwilling to speak, then the county relief committee must reply to the question: "Do you intend to hold down indefinitely qualified Afro-Americans and to prevent them from gaining deserved promotions?" The Gazette would like the answer. On the county relief committee, with authority over the Cuyahoga County Relief Association, there are included the names of Councilman Lawrence O. Payne, Mr. David S. Ingalls and Rev. Michael L. Moriair. There also appears the name of Marc J. Grossman, representative of another minority group in Cleveland which knows the meaning of prejudice. It is up to these gentlemen to do a little private investigating and give the answer to 75,000 citizens of color, whose voting strength definitely represents more than the balance of power in Cleveland. "Jim-Crowism" must be destroyed. If any public official in Cleveland is responsible in any way for its spread, such official must also be eliminated. Let the county relief committee investigate the refusal of Mr. Raymond to advance Miss Fisher and furnish an explanation that will be minus the buncombe and downright lies the race is handed too often. TRADE UNIONS The strike of gasoline station attendants in Greater Cleveland brings up a serious problem for members of the race employed in that capacity. Shall they affiliate with the unions. While the American Federation of Labor officially is opposed to discrimination, nevertheless scores of craft unions in their respective institutions insist that men and women of African descent must stay out! Even those who accept our workers discriminate against them when jobs are available and the business agent has an opportunity to select workers. These statements are true and no A. F. of L. member can deny them. On the other hand it is apparent that we are in for a period of trade union activity, and while employers may kick and squirm they are going to be forced sooner or later to recognize organized labor in preference to non-union labor. It is therefore up to our workers to do some heavy thinking and quick acting. One thing is certain: They cannot act as strikebreakers and expect to make substantial economic gains. They will be merely used as dupes by reactionary employers of labor during a few critical days or months. When the strike is settled, our workers will be despipped by organized-capital and organized-labor alike. If a non-union Afro-American imagines, for a moment, that he can count upon the friendship of rich capitalists, he must first answer the question, why these capitalists have been especially insistent that our workers must everywhere submit to lower wage-scales under the N. R. A. In Selma, Alabama, a leading pastor of the race was forced to leave his home-town in twenty-four hours because he had angered the chamber of commerce by insisting on equal wages, regardless of the color of a worker's skin. In every trade where members of our race predominate in the south, the N. R. A. provides a separate code authorizing a lower scale for black men than for white. It is said that the gasoline station union has offered absolute equality to our workers. If this is true, and if the assurance is provided in writing that none of our workers will suffer discrimination or be ousted from his place by a white man following a strike settlement, the Afro-American worker must align himself alongside his white brother-worker. Both together can succeed in making headway against the growing reaction. Split asunder by crafty employers, colored and white workers will all be reduced to poverty and degradation. If workers of our race obtain guarantees of ABSOLUTELY EQUAL TREATMENT WITHIN A UNION, THEY MUST JOIN. Gasoline Station Operators Union, No. 18378, assures this. Our members of the Cleveland City Council should be "on their toes" and see that the city of Cleveland does not enter into any contract with the executive board of Western Reserve University or any other organization or corporation for the "establishment of a board of five civic leaders to control the management of city hospital" in such a way as to bring about the reestablishment of the "Dudley S. Blossom line-lines" as that institution. Welfare director David S. Ingalls, we feel sure, would not knowingly permit the city to enter any such contract. Nevertheless, it is up to our councilmen to see that no such thing is done or a paved to bring about any such insulting conditions. The City Council is expected to approve a plan designed by Mr. Ingalls to eliminate the threat of political interference in the hospital management. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Phillip Dennie, aged 65, E. $99th St., an old resident, for years a clerk and foreman in the central post office until about two years ago when he was retired because of illness, died last week Friday morning. The funeral, Tuesday afternoon, was largely attended. In addition to the widow, Mrs. Eva Dennie, a brother and sister in Chicago survive the deceased and have the sympathy of the community. They were unable to attend the funeral because of illness. Rev H. C. Bailey had charge of the services. "Phill," as he was familiarly addressed by his scores of friends and acquaintances, was a member of one of our oldest families. Arthur T. Abbott, aged 76. E. 96th St., died last week Friday morning after a brief illness which began the week previous. Two daughters, one living in the East, survive him, and have the earnest sympathy of his many friends in this city and elsewhere in the state and country. Mr. Abbott made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Lee, and family. He lived in Cincinnati, followed by that day, or forty years ago from Cincinnati to take a position in the office of one of Ohio's leading insurance companies, and was active in its business until he retired on pension, several years ago. He was regarded by his employers as one of the most expert insurance men in their employ. For years, Col. Abbott had been an active member of the man's funeral services were held from James A. M. E. church, Thursday. An older brother and a niece from Washington, D. C., were in attendance. PROGBESSIVE! Mr. Boyle Enumerates Achievements In His Office of Respon- dential For County Treasurer John J. Boyle was the speaker, Sunday afternoon, at St. James' Forum. In his address, he disclaimed any responsibility for the delays in tax collectors and said that his chief interest was in lowering taxes and making them easier to pay. He also called attention to the fact that he was the author of the law, now known throughout the country, that gave delinquent taxpayers four years to catch up before the state could foreclose on their property. He listed other improvements such as mailing out tax bills for which he was responsible when county treasurer a decade ago. Continuing, Mr. Boyle said there were seven principal causes for delay in opening and closing tax filings, including previous treasurers to close promptly; extensions of time by the State Tax Commissions; unwarranted delays in determining valuations; delay in determining the tax rates for subdivisions; delays caused by the voting of special levies; the respreading of special assessments under the new law; the handling of 4,000 tax abatements. ELECTRIC REFRIGERATORS! Get One and Save Money by Saving and Keeping Your Food in Better Condition. The Gazette calls the attention of all of its readers to the Electrical League's advertisement elsewhere in this paper. In it you will find ten good reasons why you should install in your home an electric refrigerator. They are really wonderful and always the pride of the woman of the house. Be sure to read the advertisement carefully. It is a fact that by savings "it pays for itself," protects health and is so helpful in many ways to the hostess. Then, too, the cost for electricity is small when compared with the cost of ice, each week. "MOB" VICTIM ASKS $5,000. A suit against Cuyahoga county commissioners in which Nick Scaird (white) of E. 144th St., seeks $5,000 damages, under the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Mob Violence Act or Anti-lynching law, was on file, Monday, in common pleas court. Scaird alleged he was knocked down, trampled, made to jump from a porch and was shot twice in the leg, last July 18, while deputy bailiffs and police were evicting a family at 11420 Lardet Ave. He claimed to have been an "innocent bystander," seated on a porch across the street from the eviction scene when injured.

Jess Owens was prevented from participating in the scheduled exhibition race at Mansfield, last week, by an ankle injury, the result of being spiked, last week Thursday evening, during a final work-out in preparation for the Mansfield relays.

SAVE MONEY THIS SUMMER BY SAVING FOOD THE ELECTRICAL LEAGUE ELECTRIC RATES IN CLEVELAND LOWEST IN HISTORY During the past three years The Ohio Bell Telephone Company has connected and disconnected enough telephones to average two such changes for every telephone in its territory, according to company officials. This unusually heavy movement of telephones was due primarily to business conditions and the abnormally large migration of people to homes in lower rental areas, the officials state. The greatest movement of telephones occurred in 1932 when 453,822 instruments were either connected r disconnected. Although the 1932 net loss of 123,672 was the largest for any year in the company's history, 173,090 instruments were connected due in a great degree to the shift of population to different residences. In 1933 there was - sharp decline in the movement of telephones Dhring e year 143,929 instruments were connected and 183,961 disconnected, resulting in a net loss of 40,032. from India's finest Gardens ASTOR INDIA TEA PEKOE ORANGE TEA You can't resist the second cup 1 An Electric Refrigerator "pays for itself" by the savings it makes in food, time, work and money. 2 It functions automatically,24 hours a day,the yearround. 3 Preserves the most perishable foods in perfect condition for days in even the hottest weather. 4 Makes practical the purchase of more food for the same money on the best marketing days. 5 Protectshealth bysafeguardingfoodfrom contamination. 6 Provides plenty of ice cubes for ice water, iced tea, iced coffee, and other beverages. 7 Keeps bottled beverages at 40 degrees,the temperature at which they should be served. 8 Makes easy the the preparation of delightful chilled dishes and frozen desserts. 9 Enables the hostess to prepare refreshments long before they are to be served. 10 Operates at a cost for electricity of 1/8 cent to 1/3 cent an hour, depending on size and use.

C., in a writeup of William Monroe Trotter, says: "Newspapers with one voice—except The Guardian—bent the knee" to Booker T. Washington. That's where Kelly is wrong, again. "The Old Reliable" Gazette didn't bend any knee to Booker T. or anyone else, the sinister one. So, wearing, Kelly says: "My attitude from beginning to now has been one of fair and just appraisal void of one side partisan zeal and factional rancor. Mr. Trotter understood from the beginning that I never agreed with his views or methods." By this Kelly means that his position was between that of Monroe Trotter and Booker T.—two extremes. That explains why Miller has always been regarded as a "compromiser" and never as a leader, and why Monroe Trotter, according to his (Kelly's) own statement, was unable to "wean" him from his "Booker Washing-up position" and why the "fist of the Guardian" has criticisms of his "non-impassioned attitude." It also explains how Kelly Miller also able to remain a member of the faculty of Howard University, under a prejudiced president of that institution, in the face of the lady's notorious mistreatment of him and other members of the faculty, some of whom had manhood enough to resign and get out of the institution.

The fierce South Polar winter is almost upon us. Already we have looked at the thermometer and found the figures '59 below zero' staring at us. We have only about four hours a day of sunlight. Yes, terday the darkness came at one o'clock in the afternoon after one of these amazing Antarctic sunset - simply incomparable for beauty. On April the sun will disappear completely and the leader of this expedition will be out there in that nut all winter, for four M. B. he will be in total darkness, with only candies for light. And outside his hut will rage the most violent weather known on this globe - blinding blizzards, wind screening at 150 miles an hour—and 80 to 90 degrees below zero. It is one of the most amazing tapes ever at tempted. I am praying for him that he will not get a spruce ankle or—well, any of the other terrible things that could tappen to him. We expect to be in touch with him by radio at all times. Here we have plenty to do preparing for the great exploits we hope to accomplish from next October to February.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1934 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 have been sued by 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 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 of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. THE CURTAIN White is so important in decoration these days that many lovely new fabrics are appearing in this smart shade, "Moonbeam" in flint set is the sheer glass curtain in pure white used with heavy white over draperies in this modern room. 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 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," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury, 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, missiles or in any other manner, may 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, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed 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. 162 5.) Section 6232 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages 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, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, the child 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 shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or 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 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.) 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 probate judge, an acting not more than one dollar for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, such lynching shall be deemed a membre. In the case and liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was concession to the officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter will 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. The General Code or Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or proprietor of a house, 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 both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the prior 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. The World Moves On!
