What Our People Are Doing, Each Week—Church Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical— Marriages, Deaths, Etc. BELLEFONTAINE.—The Mills brothers are putting money into circulation here. There's something more we'd like to report about them. That is that their fame hasn't turned them away from the folks who knew them "when." With all their money, they've forgotten no one. Old neighbors are still welcome at the Mills' new home. Those not as fortunate as they, are being remembered with clothing and other necessities. Not all of them are dressed on flash. A lot of it is doing more good in their hands than if it had been allotted to some one else. Certain former bankers, for example. MIDDLETOWN.—Mr. Jas. Bailey of Cincinnati visited Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

YOUNGSTOWN. — Last week, a warrant was issued against George Broumas, proprietor of the Manhattan Cafe, and conviction had for refusal of service in his place of business, recently. In municipal court, he was fined $50 and costs. O. E. Daniels of Columbus, connected with the Ohio Department of Liquor Control, and his wife were the aggrieved owner of the case, J. H. P. Beckenham and Wm. B. Snagnola, city prosecutor, handled the Daniels' side of the case. Quite a number of these cases, all instituted under the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law, have been won in this city in the last ten months. —Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Underwood are vacationing in Michigan. —Mrs. Rhoda Williams of E. Liverpool, guest of Miss C.

The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Fine leadership our people have in the City Council, powerless even to stop "intimidations in the public swimming pools of the city." Such leadership should "be destroyed." "Jim-crow" roller-skating night (Friday) at Luna Park ought to be enough to keep the self and race-respecting Afro-Americans from going there for any purpose. We won't invoke the assistance of our Ohio Civil Rights law to stop the discrimination; so the least we can do is to stay away from the park. Recently sixty policemen and seventy-two firemen were added to the two departments. In spite of the fact that we have three members of the City Council, only one of the sixty firemen was a member of the race and not even one of the seventy-two firemen was an Afro-American. Lord, have mercy! How the Mayor did make them like it—last week Thursday evening in Public Music hall—all except those "Blossom Triplets" who it is said "ducked" and went out of the city "on vacation trips." Both of them Payne and Dandy needed for the Davies, last fall, and this was and is not any secret. The most spectacular and one of the sainest things of the meeting was Maurice Maschke's nomination of the mayor for re-election as chairman of the County Republican Central Committee. That was an act encouraging homosexuality, hereabouts that is very generally appreciated by the rank and file. And was it a surprise? It sure was! Prime Sport News Metcalfe Soils for the Orient Metcalfe Sails for the Orient. San Francisco, Cal.—A team of American athletes, headed by Ralph Metcalfe, world champion sprinter, and including Glenn Cunningham, Charles Hornbustel and Walter Marty, sailed for Japan, last week, on an "old world" tour. Fourteen compose the group. "Don't Know the War Is Over." Gastonia, N. C.—A team representing Springfield. Mass., withdrew from the American Legion eastern states championship baseball tournament here, last week Thursday, because Cumberland, Md., and Tampa, Fla., teams protested Springfield's proposed use of an Afro-American pitcher. The Kid was Toning Em. Washington, D. C.—Recently, when "Kid" Chocolate let some practically unknown fighter "knock him out," we suggested that in all probability he was only "tolling 'em on." Since, he was not trolling, running both easily. Here is the most recent one: Last Friday night week here he easily disposed of Andre Sarilla, South America's contender for the lightweight title. Chocolate stopped the Panama boy in the seventh round. 1930 HENRY B. DATES Chairman, Sight Saving Council of Cleveland Including in its membership representatives of more than 100 civic, cultural, professional and commercial organizations of all Greater Cleveland, the Sight-Saving-Council of Cleveland, first of its kind to be formed anywhere in the nation, was announced this week. It is to be organized, like the Safety Council, the Health Council and other similar organizations, and under its executive committee will study the recent advances in the science of seeing and the preservation of human eye-sight, and then spread this to all in this part of the country. Nearly half the adults of this city have defective eyes. Prof. Henry B. Dates, head of the department of electrical engineering at Case School of Applied Science, is chairman of the committee which will announce its complete membership, next week. Doings of the Race John M. Brown is the new superintendent of Station D, P. O., 19th and Montrose Sts., Philadelphia. Wm. Dougley of Arkansas has just been granted six patents for inventions improving harvesting machines. From Jan. 1 to June 1, this year, there were two lynchings in this country. Since June 1, there have been twelve lynchings. Atty, J. S. Butts, of Beckley, a candidate for the W. Va. House of Delegates, led the ticket at the recent primary. Twenty substitute letter-carriers, who had served from seven to ten years, were appointed regulars in the Philadelphia post office, Aug. 16. Mayor Bernard Dickman of St. Louis and nineteen other city officials connected with the management of the new city midtown are being Atty, J. S. Jos, P. Harris to halt the "jim-crowing" of our patrons of the institution. Dr. A. Porter Davis of Kansas City, Kan., has been nominated for county commissioner for the second district. It is the first time in the history of the state an Afro-American has been a candidate for that office. A dispatch from Algiers, last week, announced that Senegalese troops were used to quell the recent outbreaks of Arabs against the Jews because the use of Arab troops would have caused resentment among the Jews, many of whom were slain by Arab civilians in the rioting. Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C., has just received $50,000 from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer of N. Y. City and $3,500 from the Methodist Woman's H. M. Society of N. Y. City. Some months ago, Mr. and Mrs. Pfeiffer gave the college, $100,000 with which a dormitory, Pfeiffer hall, is being erected. The $3,500 gift is for furnishing the new dormitory. DENOUNCES PREJUDICE! "Any group of people that launches attacks on another group because of race or religion is guilty of high treason and should be driven out of the nation," Sylvester V. McMahon, president of the Cleveland Bar Association, said last week Thursday night at the 67th annual Irish Day picnic at Euclid Beach parish. A crowd estimated at more than 25,000 was it under auspices of the United Irish Societies of Cleveland. "If we Irish are true to our forefathers we will fight any class of people who harbor religious or racial intolerance—I don't care if they call themselves silver shirts, brown shirts or dirty shirts."

INVOLVES NINE LIVES OF BOYS OF THE RACE STILL UNDER TWENTY- ONE YEARS OF AGE. A Recent Careful Analysis by Harvey Ingham in the Des Moines, Ia., Register—Asher Says Hitler's Acts Justified. The Scottsboro case involves the lives of nine Negro boys who are charged with raping two admitted prostitutes on a freight car where all admittedly were stealing a ride. One of the two girls has changed her testimony and confessed that no rape was committed. The other has persisted in her original story. Scottsboro is in Alabama where race prejudice is very strong, a death sentence has been pronounced on the two boys who have been tried under the new order of the court and August 31 is the date set for the execution. It is this sentence which the damning court has blamed on the record of the lower court not being permitted to go on its own account into the merits of the case. If this ruling of the Alabama courts is again canvassed by the supreme court of the United States it will mark a turn in the road in our legal procedure, for as Justices Butler and McReynolds pointed out in their dissenting opinion in the first Scottsboro case "it extends federal authority into the state to work within the court of the states." If the first Scottsboro trial the Negro boys were given only a perfunctory defense, and the supreme court of the United States ruled that they were entitled to employ counsel and put up a real defense. This was the ground on which the case was sent back, that the boys had not been permitted to employ counsel and that the naming of counsel by the court had not been for the purpose of a real defense. The supreme court did, however, review the circumstances of the trial to sustain its view that the boys had not been given a fair trial. If the Supreme Court of the United States undertakes to review this second ruling of the Alabama supreme court, it will unquestionably create a national status for the colored people. The Supreme Court cannot unintentionally Scottborsbro trials if it does not contemplate giving the Negro a right of appeal from the state courts of the southern states. It is bound to mean a considerable extension of federal control. The first trial of the Negroes in the local courts their legal rights were plainly not recognized, and in this second ruling of the Supreme Court of Alabama it is admitted that (special to the educator, Chicago, Ill.) "The greatest demonstration of the search." That is the way on the World's Fair official website the celebration of A Century of Our Progress held here, last week Tuesday night, in the Court of States in the Century of Progress Exposition. The Court was filled, 5,000 being present, and thousands of others "listened in" while speakers told of the progress of the race during the century since the death of William Wilberforce, the great British statesman (for whom Wilberforce University was named) in 1833. A chorus of 500 voices rendered many spirituals, and a group of native Africans gave a number of dances. The president of the Fair, the Hon. Rufus Dawes, delivered the welcome address, the tribute to the founder of Wilberforce University during eighty years of the century. The principal address, a masterpiece of educational research and eloquence, was delivered by Dr. B. L. Stradley of Ohio State University, and president of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Other distinguished educators, from many parts of the country, were present, among them Bishop R. C. Ransom, president of the board of trustees of Wilberforce; Bishop John A. Gregg, former president of Wilberforce University; Dr. A. S. Jackson, educational secretary; Dr. A. M. E. Jackson, assistant president of our National Association of Women. The following day (Wednesday) there was a special inspection of the Wilberforce exhibit, which occupies over 500 square feet on the second floor of the Hall of Social --- "Thru a technicality, the Alabama supreme court was forced to consider only the court records and was unable to take into consideration theUnable to the cases." Now York Correspondent, Manchester, England, Guardian. A CENTURY'S PROGRESS Reviewed on Wilberforce University Day at the Chicago World Fair by Leading Educators, of Both Races. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- with any will immediately estab- lish the country of the BEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. the court was held to the records of the lower court, and was not permitted to consider the actual merits of the case. State control has plainly failed to secure justice, and here as in so many other things we are forced to nationalize by the failure of the state. What makes this Scottsboro case of more than usual importance is the attention the English are giving to it. Not only does the New York reporter of the Manchester Guardian send a lengthy report of the trial, but the London Spectator makes the trial the subject of editorial comment the substance of which may be gathered from this one paragraph: "The judge appears to have shown impartiality and courage, but the trial is being conducted in an atmosphere thick with intimidation, and the prisoners are under heavy armed guard as protection against a raid and a lynching which is being perpetually threatened. All the indications are that no Negro involved in a serious charge can count on justice in a southern state." Another curious angle is hinted in the protest of Robert E. Asher, a German Jew, who insists that everything Hitler is doing in Germany is justified by what we are doing in the United States. After reviewing exclusion of the Japanese, our race rulesubs, hotels and the like, Asher says: "We limit not merely the freedom of the Jews, but still more obviously the freedom of the Negro. And since the problem is a human one, cultural differences are irrelevant, and the German can claim just as much right to his conduct as we do (which is, indeed, no ethical right at all)." Of course this takes us out into a new and wider field. The Scottsboro case is merely a test of legal rights. The case is not just about to come more and more a problem as our racial relations become more intricately involved. The Scottsboro case is a test of the right of a Negro to a fair trial with all the evidence fairly considered. If he is found guilty on an impartial showing, that is one thing. If he is found guilty on an unfair or inadequate showing that is quite another, particularly if the unfair and inadequate showing is the direct work of the court. It is strange that the people of Alabama have not seen that in their own interest they should stand for a full and fair trial of these Negro boys. Nothing could happen worse for them than to have the whole world become aroused over the injustice of an execution plainly pre-arranged. Science, the only exhibit of a century of our progress in the fair. Wilberforce University opens, Monday, Sept. 17. BACK TO '32. The most recent Kansas Labor and Industrial Bulletin gives information on the condition of employment and payrolls for 2,000 industrial establishments in Kansas for May 1934. An analysis of the tables show that the Kansas laboring man is in approximately the same position so far as work and pay envelope that he was in those dark Hoover days of May 1932. Using April 1930 as an index of 10, the index of employment for May 1934 stood at 73.5. This was only 7 of a point lower than the index for May 1932. The payroll index of 52.4 for May 1934 was 4.8 points lower than in May 1932, or in term of percentage "only" 8.4 lower than for the month preceding the Chicago nominating conventions. The bulletin shows that the Kansas payrolls for May 1934 advanced $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent over the preceding month and that the Kansas industrial worker now gets an average of $10 per cent higher in the retail price of food as reported by 360 retail stores located in 70 Kansas towns was 13.4 per cent higher than in May 1934 than for April 1933; thanks to the NRA largely! Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling to be back where we were in the late spring of 1932 when we were thinking of marching back to Washington and telling Mr. Hoover where to head in? What a history we have in being back to the level of '32!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1934. Forrester B. Washington, appointed director of our work under the Federal Work Relief Administration, a few months ago, has resigned, to take effect today, because he discovered he could only be a "yes man" in the position. Forrester should have known before he accepted the position that this is demanded from all Roosevelt appointees. WHO WILL ACT? Down in Franklintown, La., Jermoe Wilson is going to die because he killed a deputy sheriff while he, Wilson, was defending his home and his family. No one believes Wilson guilty, but he is scheduled to be hanged in order "to save him from mob violence." We do not get the logic, but southern lynch courts are never logical. The Wilson case is already creating a stir. It must, however, be elevated to the level of an international scandal. Either the N. A. A. C. P, or the I. L. D. must act. Jermoe Wilson must not be permitted to make a Roman holiday for the benefit of human swine in the backwoods of U. S. Senator Huey Long's preserves (Louisiana). Where are our local protective organizations? The N. A. A. C. P. local branch is rarely heard from, and even at its best seems unable to function above forty per cent efficiency. Then there was supposed to be a Local League of Struggle for "Negro" Rights, with Mr. Walter Dicks as organizer. But this society does not seem to have suffered birth-pains. It would be a pleasant sight, indeed, if this fall and winter the N. A. A. C. P. and the L. S. N. R. engaged in spirited rivalry to smash the head of discrimination wherever it reared itself, since our three councilmen will do nothing for us. It would be even more cheerful if the junior branch of the local N. A. A. C. P. developed some fighting instincts, and the International Labor Defense followed up its splendid work on the Scottsboro case by impregnating its local branch with a keener interest in race affairs. That Scovill Ave, street-car motorman, who shot the lad of the race, many months ago, is still at liberty and nothing being done to apprehend him. The Gazette intends to play no favorites with organizations and individuals that profess to champion the struggle of the 75,000 Afro-Americans in this city for absolute equality. Let the laurels go to the best fighters, but where are the fighting organizations? ANSWER, MR. BOHN! Mr. Ernest Bohn is an enterprising councillor with a good record. He works hard and conscientiously. Just now he is interested in the subject of improved housing in so-called "slum areas." That is a laudable sim. Yet The Gazette would like to have Mr. Bohn tell our readers, in clear language, whether he and his associates have in mind any plan to improve the housing situation facing our people in Cleveland. Our understanding is that most of the housing plans concern white tenants. What is to become of Afro-Americans and the poor whites on relief in the Cedar-Central section, who are destined to remain on relief indefinitely thru no fault of their own? A study of tuberculosis in Decatur, Illinois, has revealed that the tuberculosis rate among Afro-Americans is no higher than among whites in those sections where living conditions are satisfactory for both races. We call this fact to Mr. Bohn's attention. If the poor people in that section and others, are to be shunted from shack to gutter, there is going to be plenty of stir raised, and The Gazette will do its best to help roll the waters. If the R. F. C. can shave millions into a A Dawes bank, and additional millions into shaky railroads, it can pour a little into decent homes for Cleveland's poor citizens of both races. What do you say, Mr. Bohn? Then, too, the money to be expended for homes, or will most of it go into the pockets of bankers, engineers and real estate sharks? Do you really hope to improve the status of the people, or only of salaried whites who need no help? IN APPRECIATION! Our good friend, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of The Cincinnati Union, as our readers will note elsewhere in this paper, has been especially generous and kind in his reference to The Gazette's recent entrance upon its fifty-second year of continuous publication, every week on time, and we thoroly appreciate it, of course. It is just such publications that encourage one to continue the work for the race. Indeed, they are about all our editors receive from our people, the beneficiaries of their labor, in addition to the material support given in the way of subscriptions, and a little advertising, by loyal members of the race who show in that practical and very helpful way just how they feel. And who knows this better than our long-time friend and highly esteemed confere, Wendell Phillips Dabney, editor of The Cincinnati Union? "Knocked" and insulted on occasions by far too numerous to mention, his business time and again maliciously injured by "jim-crow Negroes" and their allies, of the other race, all because of his uncompromising stand for all of our rights and privileges in public places, "Brother" Dabney possibly, because of his long residence in Ohio, is in a better position to speak authoritatively, as he has, any other member of the race in the newspaper business, now that Neval Thomas and Monroe Trotter have passed on—"two of The Old Reliable Gazette's boys" as they were frank to write us on more than one occasion when in life. Both were "Ohio boys", too. Nevertheless, we cannot repress the feeling that our highly esteemed contemporary, "The Union", has been a little too generous in its praise of The Gazette, to say the least. Thanks, just the same, "Brother" Dabney. May you live long to keep up the fight, for the race, that you alone, of all the "Negro" editors in Cincinnati in the last half century, have waged. COWARDLY PUBLIC SERVANTS. Every two years the powers-that-be, out of the kindness of their hearts, permit certain "Negro" candidates to run for the city council and to be elected. Their supporters are pro- MME. LILLIAN EVANTI Toured Southern Europe With Foreign Opera Companies—Soon to Sing for Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Washington, D. C.—From choir singer to operatic triumphs in Old perly elated because the race has been "recognized." Then these victors devote their efforts to organizing the job-holders in their wards and forcing them to give part of their pay, every two weeks, in support of "political clubs" in their wards. When there are political rallies, these victorious councilmen herd their job-holders like sheep in a pen and force them to listen to stupid campaign talks and to work for candidates they favor. But that is not all. When a man or woman of the race, in accordance with his or her lawful rights, demands fair treatment in a public park or restaurant and is denied, such victim of discrimination cannot appeal with any hope of assistance in the representative in council he or she has helped to elect. The victim of prejudice and mistreatment is met with the stock response, --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1934. "I represent all the people, not the members of one race!" That sounds good to the unsophisticated but it is a contemptible lie. The politician who talks that way never represents anything but a cheap, dirty, political ring, and he knows it! He has not the courage to speak out for any voter of color. There is not today, in Cleveland, a single man holding public office, with the possible exception of Representative Chester K. Gillespie, who has revealed courage enough to attack discrimination. The others have exploited their color or race connection for the purpose of gathering votes, and then have promptly forgotten, so far as it was humanly possible, the source of their political strength. We do not know how long this tragic situation will continue. Suffice to say, it has lasted plenty long enough now, but it is destined to continue at least until next year. However, there is no evil, as the Spanish proverb goes, which lasts a hundred years. The evil of Afro-American misrepresentation in City Council ought to be gotten rid of at the election next year in the fall, and those misrepresentatives thrown on the political ash-heap where they belong. GALLANT WARRIOR! Editor Harry C. Smith of The Cleveland Gazette, a veteran of veterans in the newspaper world, a hero of heroes in battling for the rights of his race. Since August 25, 1883, he has practically been the owner and editor of The Cleveland Gazette, a paper that under his able guidance has ever fought against segregation, has ever battled for every right guaranteed by the Constitution of "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." As a member of the Legislature many years ago Editor Smith was the father of the finest "Civil Rights Law" and "Anti-Lynching Law" ever enacted by any state in this country. We wish for him many more years of activity, many more years of prosperity and a seat when the throne when God gently whispers, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." (W. P.

MORE, MORE! MORE, MORE! MORE, MORE! I WEIGH 124 POUNDS SOME BOLONEY! LITTLE AMENICA, ANTARCTICA CA, August 12 (via Mackay Radio): At last Admiral Byrd has been reached. I've just heard it over the radio from Amory Wate. I'll tell you all about the details in the next story. You know, rubber turns brittle in extremely cold temperatures, loses its elasticity and breaks. That's the main trouble that overtook our second tractor expedition to get Admiral Byrd out of his lonely hut 123 miles away. Dr. Poulter, Pete Demas and Amory Watte were making splendid progress in the little French tractor 23 miles south of here, after they had dug one huge sledge load of food and supplies out of a 90-foot deep crevasse into which it had fallen, with Demas skill alone saving the tractor and its crew from a similar fate. Then the fan belt broke. And so did the new one they put in. And so did an other. Then the clutch got out of kilter and the generator went wrong. So Dr. Poulter realized it was impossible to go on. They left there the two sledge loads of 300 gallons of gasoline, 20 gallons of oil, food and camping equipment for their third tractor to pick up on its journey through the darkness which was started on Friday. Bernard Skinner, of Wintrop, Me, Demas, who comes from Washington, D. C., and I worked night and day for three days on the tractors. When I get home I expect to be a real automotive expert. You should be here when one of these tractor rescue trips is on! Until the party passes the dangerous pressure ridges they talk with us every hour, after that every four hours. No matter what we are doing here we all stop when these messages oine in and hang over the operator's shoulder waiting for the latest report. The performance of every type of gasoline engine under these terrible weather conditions has been simply remarkable. Everybody here continues in good health and spirits. I now weigh 139 pounds, a gain of 16 pounds since leaving New York. I started to grow a beard but it was of such a disappointing nature that I am now shaving every day—with an electric razor. Dr. Potaka, our doctor from New Zealand, makes a detailed monthly physical examination and says that apparently the Antarctic is doing us all good. The average gain in weight is $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds per man. Walter Lewin Jr., of New York, our archeologist, however, has gone way beyond that. He has gained 14 pounds. The freedom from colds is miraculous, especially so because the men expose themselves carelessly. Many times they rush out of quarters which register 70 degrees into frigid tunnels registering 50 degrees below zero in order to get to the mess hall or do an errand, most of the time without stopping to put on coats or helmets. It's a wonder we aren't all laid up with penumonia but the absence of germs down here lets us get off scot free. The club is still open to membership, without cost, and a big free working map of Antarctica and membership card will be sent to anybody interested in aviation and adventure who writes me at the American headquarters.

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 in recent years. The state of 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.

A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) 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 in committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the 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 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 therein 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 6282. 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. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, the widow shall be distributed the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

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 sb. ob. v. 163 (v. 162) Section 6284.

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 prisoner while the mob remains 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 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, hotel, 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 or more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Don't Throw A way Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe After Seeing It Golden Isles of Guale Native Transportation on the Sea Islands. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. THE Atlantic's rolling waves do not break against the mainland of Georgia. A startling state-statement, that. Yet it is true, for the surf shatters on the smooth sandy beaches of the islands that stretch like a protecting band off the coast. These are the famed Sea Islands of Georgia, the "Golden Isles of Guile" as they were known to Sixteenth century Spanish map-makers. The low-lying lumps of land, spawned by the tides and winds off the 100-mile arc of the Georgia coast, were once friendly hunting grounds, where Indians stalked deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, opossums, and waterfowl. Today, as subtropic playgrounds and winter retreats of happy isolation, they have again become hunting preserves and game sanctuaries. What history has marched across the savannas and hammocks and beneath the moss-scarfed arms of the mighty live oaks of these islands in the nearly four-century span since white men entered this New world theater! Here, in the late sixties of the Sixteenth century, came Spanish grantees and black-frocked friars, from their Florida headquarters at St. Augustine, to plant sword and cross among the Indians to the "glory of the king." Here, too, came adventurous French voyagers to trade and to make unsustained colonial claims. Bold pirates and buccaneers, such as Argamont (the notorious "Abraham") and Blackbeard, after plundering along the Spanish Maln, brought into the hidden anchorage of these secluded waterways their treasure galleons and, under cover of the island oaks, found respite from their high adventures. Here, in the 1730s, came Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe and his followers, who, within a few years, struck blows that helped preserve for the Anglo-Saxon race a large portion of the continent. Refugee Santo Domingo planters, escaped French royalists, human cargoes from African "slavers," wealthy antebellum aristocrats of the old South, masters of extensive island plantations; then ruin, and, finally, delayed rehabilitation, mark the succeeding chapters of the Sea Islands' history. Five flags have waved over this offshore cluster of lands where some of the earliest seeds of American trade were sown. Lesson In Coastal Geography. However, the unfolding panorama gained from the vantage point of an airplane cockpit is essentially a lesson in coastal geography, not history, even though isolated bits of old Spanish ruins, Oglethorpe's Fort Frederica, and romantics from prosperous colonial days can still be distinguished through the foliage. Between the leeward side of the islands and the mainland lie expansive reaches of salt marshes, ranging roughly from two to eight miles in width. Generally wide at the northern end, toward Savannah, they narrow at the lower portion of Cumberland, the southernmost member of the Golden Isles. As you fly along the chain of islands you can trace a continuous serpentine passage in the network of sounds, delta-divided mouths, and meandering creeks. It is the Inside, or Florida, Passage, a portion of that inside water route which extends all the way from New York to the Florida Keys. As you swing to a course over the ocean side of the islands, an interesting feature of their formation is revealed to advantage. Heavily wooded areas appear in long bands, stretching in a north-and-south direction, and are separated by slender marshes and ponds, in some cases even expanding into narrow lakes. Through the passing centuries the tides and winds have piled the sand and river-debouched sediment into a series of parallel swamps interspersed with the swamps—hammocks and sloughs, they are termed in Georgian parlance. Enormous live oaks, pines, cedars, and other trees luxuriate here. On Sapelo island alone remain the wide, open fields where colonial plantations flourished. Here and there are tiny islands, with little more than a fringe of sandy beach to inclose a small area of marshes. Where De Aviles Landed. One cannot visit St Catherine's school, which was 1500 when Menendez de Aviles, one of Saplin's alabens pioneers, and his party of 50 men dropped anchor and came ashore on this island. He had established St. Augustine, in Florida, only the year before, and was already out to destroy the remaining traces of any settlements the French may have founded. One writer pointed out that nowhere else had he seen such a delightful setting for a great house as that on Sapelo island. In the midst of a cathedral-like bower of live oaks, with hoary beards of Spanish moss depending from their outstretched limbs, stands a majestic colonial home. Projecting from the porticoed entrance is a cruciform formal pool which catches and tosses back the reflection of mossy oaks and vast white walls. Since its reconstruction, two Presidential parties have been guests at the mansion. One day, while one of First Ladies was admiring the nearby rock garden, her cicerone was heard to remark, "They even used imported stone for this rock garden." The big house of the South End plantation was first built by Thomas Spalding in 1800-1802, after he had returned from England to take up plantation farming on Sapelo. As noted a farmer as he was a builder, Spalding cleared more than a thousand acres on his island kingdom, and raised indigo, sea-island cotton, sugar cane, and staple foodstuffs. He it was, in fact, who introduced cane cultivation and sugar manufacturing into Georgia. The live oaks which he cut while clearing the forests to make bigger fields serve to fill large timber contracts for the budding United States navy. He also supplied the navy and merchant marine with beef and hogs. As a slave owner, however, Spalding came ultimately to suffer, even though he treated his "helpers" with such kindness that the planters in the South dubbed Sapelo "Nigger Heaven." Then came the Confederacy, against every protest of this aged man. Sherman's march to the sea laid waste the big house and the plantation developments. Fortunately, Spalding did not live to see that day of ruin. Vines and bramble claimed the firesmoked tabby walls of the mansion until the present owner cleared them and rebuilt again in 1925. Modern Improvements. Today, too, the old canals have been redreed and new ones have been cut in many places to supplement the drainage of the island. An adequate supply of fresh water provided by 36 gushing water wells. More than the housed beef cattle now graze on the auxiliary carpet grass, Japanese clover and Bermuda grass that have been sown in the one-time cotton and indigo fields. Delightful trails and motor roads into the island retreat. In many places they wind beneath bewhiskered old oak; elsewhere they skirt the broad savannas and cross between marshy ponds that teem with ducks, teal, and other waterfowl. On the west shore, commanding the approach to the Florida Passage, stand the tabby ruins of the octagonal fort built by the Spaniards in 1630. Within its concentric walls troops were stationed to protect the friars of the Mission of San Jose de Zapala. Thomas Spalding built a sugar mill on the mission foundations, and within recent years the "long tabby" has been converted into a guesthouse, a portion of which is now used as a schoolroom for the nine white children on the island. A short ride farther north brings one to the ruins of Le Chatelet. This old site recalls the colonial efforts of five Frenchmen who bought the island and settled at several places in their little haven. The agreement which they made in St. Malo, France, before the beginning of their venture, is one of the treasures of the Sapelo library. Soon to disagree, four of them moved to Jekyl island. Later Le Chatelet passed into the hands of Marquis de Montalet, a French nobleman who had fled from Santo Domingo, where his whole family had been massacred in a slave uprising. Many of the descendants of Spalding's slaves still live on tiny farms on the island. Of the three settlements—Raccoon Bluff, Hog Hammock, and Shell Hammock—the former is the largest. At Hampton Point and Retreat on St. Simon island the first sea-island cotton was grown from seeds introduced from the island of Anguilla, in the West Indies. This remarkable long-fiber cotton created much comment among cotton buyers when the first crop, shipped from Hampton Point, reached Liverpool. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1934. By CHERIE NICHOLAS AS TO the most outstanding immediate fabric news, it's satin! In all the annals of its history this bright and shining costume medium has never dramatically illuminated the pathway of midseason and early fall styles, than at the present moment. If anyone thinks that the newer satins "tell the same old story," all we can say is that a most happy surprise awaits each and every so unimaginative a skeptic. Fact is the early arrivals on fashion's stage are delivering a message so refreshingly new and inspirational the moment you glimpse the advance models you will feel the urge to wear satin. The resplendent evening gowns of gleaming satin in such beguiling tones and tints as mint green, ice blue and that new and illusive dusky pink which is so lovely, the smartly finished daytime suits with their amazingly wide-buckled belts and their primly starched broad white turn-back collars that remind of the picturesque garb of our honored Puritan forefathers, the handsome dressier afternoon satins with their dainty feminine details, and the swagger tailored sports dresses with their many buttons and tricky gadgets, all of which are now on style parade, simply hold one spellbound. It is just such stunning costumes as the trio pictured which are causing seakers of chic and timely apparel for immediate wear to "catch the vision" of satin. These particular models were carefully selected for illustration in these columns from among scores of strikingly original styles shown at a recent pre-view of fall fashions by the Chicago Wholesale market council. The detail that instantaneously strikes the eye as the spotlight centers NEW LACE EFFECTS SEEN IN LINGERIE Newest additions to lingerie collections show fresh treatments of the embroidered and applied lace decoration which is worked to contribute a "different" appearance by reason of the posing of two layers of net. In addition to giving much greater sturdiness to this delicate form of trimming, the use of the two layers gives a flower-like background which is not achieved by the single layer. Through this the flower appliques are worked or embroidery posed, or the lace appliqued. Washable Satins Hit New Note in Spectator Frocks Pastel satin, washable, of course, in delectable shades of frappe pink and ice blue, strike a new note in spectator frocks and give promise of a big fall season for this popular fabric. Spanish and Mexican plaids and hot-country colors hold sway in new beach skirts, sweeping wide, but cut short at the knee. With these are worn walter tops, big-brimmed hats with a Spanish or Mexican sweep, and colorful scarfs or sashes. Cottons and linens score for the simple play-time frock, with linen shantung and Chinese damask a bit newer than gingham and seersuckers. Perky shoulder bows, square necklines, reversible collars that can be worn either front or back, concealed plants, and a maximum of buttons lend charming variety. Potter's blue, lettuce green and sunny yellows give verve to the plain-color frock which is rivailing stripes, plaids and checks in importance. Popular Costume Suits are the smartest thing you can wear for luncheons and afternoon afairs up to the dinner hour when a softer line is favored. "Back First" on Gown "Back fins" are a feature of a stunning new negligee in heavy satin of soft blue. They are accented by linings of bright coral. Everybody's Doing It At Miami Beach 5C on the smartly satin-chad woman pictured to the left in this group is the very wide belt and enormous buckle which distinguishes the suit she is wearing. This model is the sort which will start you touring the stores which carry foremost fashions with a determination to acquire a facsimile for your very own. The new finger-tip length coat (a trilie shorter than three-quarter), the roomy graceful sleeves, the straight skirt with just enough of a kick pleat to ease it a bit, these are style details each of which is prophetic of the future. BICYCLING is an important factor in life at Miami Beach this year, as evidenced by the record number of persons engaging in this pastime.

THE Camirror The fetching satin jacket suit to the right in the picture is warranted to capture the heart of most any style-aspiring young modern. The white satin which fashions the blouse with its scallop-edge sailor collar and down-front jabot is metal threaded in a crossbar pattern. One of the big features of the newer materials is that they are all more or less agleam with interweavings of gold and silver. It is almost needless to say that black satin fashions the suits just described, for undoubtedly black is first choice by a large majority, for street wear. However, any number of smart street models are being tailored of satins in rich autumn browns or greens (green is much talked of for fall) while a satin costume in the newly featured beetroot red or dark blue is considered a last word in chic. As to the exquisite satin evening gown here shown, imagine it in any delectable pastel you may happen to fancy, or glistening white if you prefer. The cape sleeves and ruched sleeves are important style points and the semi-finished dress lines sans belt are typically new. © Western Newspaper Union. VELVET TOPS LACE By CHERIE NICHOLAS A richly colorful lace dress accompanied with a velvet wrap is an ideal combination for this time of year when autumn begins to send hints of its coming. From Paris comes the report that at all outdoor fetes the velvet wrap remains first choice. Often the girdle which elaborates the dress is of velvet which matches the coat. Which is true of the model pictured. The dress is done in plum color face. The bow-tied girdle is of the identical velgrana velvet (has a grained crepe-like weave) which fashion the wide-cape-sleeved wrap. Floss Fringe As an amusing change from ostrich capes for evening wear, Schiaparelli has introduced an imitation of feathers, made of bright artificial floss fringe.
