XENIA. — Wilberforce University is offering a series of concerts, this season, with the result that citizens of this city and neighboring towns will be able to hear some of our leading artists in the country and at a very nominal cost. The first was Madame Lillian Evanti, coloratura soprano, from Washington, D. C. Lillian Savati who appeared in Jones Auditorium Sunday evening, Oct. 28. As an artist, Madame Evanti ranks very high at home and abroad where she sang in opera, several seasons. She has traveled extensively throut Europe her operatic work in Italy being outstanding. In her Wilberforce recitals, she was able assisted by Mr. Wm. Allen, pianist, a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and an instructor in the Conservatory of Music at Howard University, Washington, D. C. WILBERFORCE.—The Pals' club met at Dr. W. L. Madison's, Wednesday evening, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Capt. Jas. A. Nichols, pres.; Bruce Green, vice-pres.; G. T. Frazier, sec.; Chas. F. Points, Jr., assist.; Major O. J. Kincail, treas.; Everett Evans, sgt.-at-arms. Mrs. Madison, acting as hostess, served a turkey dinner. Miss Roberta Bentworth in Clairmont; Emergency School Spring, accompanied a class of nineteen students here, Monday, to visit the university.—Miss Claudia Stevenson, coloratura soprano of the university, was greeted with a large audience of music lovers in Cleveland, last Friday evening, at a recital in St. John's A. M. E. church. She was assisted by the Olanders quartet, managed by Benj. Wailes of Wilberforce. The quartet is heard over WTAM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1:15 p. m.—E.W. Thomas, assistant bishop of Bentworth, a Falmouth school of Dayton, spoke on a "Falmouth for Development Personality" at the chapel, Wednesday morning.—C. M. Kelso of Dayton gave a very interesting moving-picture lecture, Wednesday evening, on "A Trip to East Africa."—The large silver cup, presented by the South Center Department Store of Chicago, was received by the Wilberforce Athletic Association, this week. The cup will become the permanent possession of the school that wins two games out of three, beginning with the 1934 contest. Wilberforce's team won this year's game. 13-0. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING "Afro" candidates for nominations for public office are sprouting early, even Republicans in spite of the any but encouraging outlook, next fall, for them. Up to date, Harry E. Davis, Chester K. Gillespie, Peter Bouland and Norman S. Minor, two Republicans and two Democrats, respectively, have "shied their castors in the ring" for municipal judge. There is a very interesting story going the rounds of the 11th, 12th and 17th Wards, these days, about a city employee who agreed to get the brother-in-law of one of our local physicians a city-job providing $50 was "put up." The physician advanced the $50 and the city employee took it to one of our councilman, so the story goes, who for some reason or other, failed to "deliver the job" to the physician thereinsisted upon the return of his $50 which the jobholder after several weeks' strenuous effort finally succeeded in getting from the councilman. The City Hospital advisory committee last week expressed itself as well satisfied with the present management of the hospital, under which the professional staff is selected by Western Reserve University School of Medicine. It held another meeting on the Council sub-committee's recommendations, Monday. The trouble with these recommendations seems to be that their adoption would place the institution in the hands of politicians thrus members of City Council and others holding city positions in the department. Dr. Sky, who is handling the group, urging the sub-committee recommendations, says the fight is going to be "to the bitter finish." The Rounder takes it that this will be the case because Welfare Director David S. Ingalls is just as strongly opposed to the changes suggested. We are told that "Hoboken Blues," given, last week, at Karamu Theater by The Glipin Players, is "a modern 'Negro' fantasy by Michael Gold and is colorful in its reflection and characterization of jazz and jungle." About time the Glipin Players were giving something else as a relief from so much "reflection and characterization" of the same kind. They've been at it so long that many of their friends and supporters of color are sure tired of it and want a change. Wonder if the Glipin Players could be induced to discontinue putting on plays they don't want. They should stop being "capitalized" by poor whites who make them believe they are doing something "artistic" when giving such a play as "The Hoboken Blues" or "Rip Winkle Black" to the exclusion of other plays, especially those that are "colorful" in their "reflection and characterization" of other races or classes than that of the so-called "Negro." The estate of Senator John B. Henderson (deceased), once valued at thirty million dollars, is soon to be sold at auction to satisfy claims against it. The Senator has the auction of the estate that he administers U. S. constitution, abolishing slavery STRUCK AND KILLED! DeGreen's Auto Kills Widowed Mother of Four Children—Gasaway, Administrator; Martin, Attorney—Duty of Our Local Organizations. The daily papers, last week, carried so very much in relation to the wanton killing of Mrs. Louise Brown, widowed mother of four children and a member of the race, that our local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Woman's Federation and other organizations cannot have failed to become interested in the distressing affair. One Peter DeGreen (white) was released on $500 bond after he pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges, preferred by Sergeant Sullivan of the local police force, automobile death, at the Glade Wednesday night, for Mrs. Louise Brown age 44, of $211 Glade Ave, Mrs. Brown, mother of four children, suffered a fractured skull, broken left arm and two broken legs when she was struck by DeGreen's sedan at E. 81st St. and Kinsman Rd. She died a few minutes later. Two witnesses obtained by Sergeant Sullivan, Robert Hayes and Wm. Wilson, both of Mrs. Brown's address, identified DeGreen, who is 52 and lives at 6820 Berwick Rd., as the man whose car struck Mrs. Brown. Charges 60-Mile Speed. According to Sergeant Sullivan, DeGreen was traveling 50 to 60 miles an hour and did not apply his brakes so as to skid until after he had struck the woman. Patrolman Myron Lodwick saw DeGreen's machine swerving seconds after the crash. DeGreen said he had no chance to apply his brakes until "after his car struck Mrs. Brown" and that he skidded only after this happened. A Suit for Damages. Both Assist. Police Prosecutor Jaglenski and DeGreen asked for a continuance, last week, and the judge set the time for De. Bond was placed at $500 and was furnisher de. DeGreen's brother-in-law. Possibility of a suit for damages was played by Atty. Alex. H. Martin, counsellor for Atty. Harold T. Gassaway, who was appointed administrator of Mrs. Brown's estate, Mr. Martin said, last week, he had not determined upon the amount to be sued for. Charges of interference by politicians and racketeers were made by Sergeant Sullivan after he was told that Elmer E. McNulty, assistant city law director, had obtained the release of DeGreen by Commissioner Donahue. See Car Strike Woman See Car Strike Woman. Wilson said he remarked to Hayes when they saw DeGreen's car passing, "see how fast he's going." Then, he said, they saw the woman's body fly up as it was hit by the automobile, jumping the body along thirty to fifty feet before it came to a stop. "She was almost dead when we picked her up," Wilson said. Sergeant Sullivan said that DeGreen had insisted that there was no one near when he stopped his car and picked up the injured woman. When confronted with Wilson and Hayes at the police station, Saturday, DeGreen then admitted that they were there. There were other witnesses, Sullivan says. WHITE GIRL FREED Of Murder Charge by Colored Lawyer—Her Husband was a Member of the Race. Chicago, Ill.—Reta Ririe, a pretty white girl, who claims she is part Indian, walked out of Judge Walter Steffen's courtroom, last week Tuesday night at 9 o'clock, a free woman, after a hard-fought trial in which she faced charges of slaying Luther Geddis, her common-law husband, on Sept. 20. He was found in their home with eight stab wounds in his body. The state contended that Reta, in a drunken frenzy, had cut the man while he was asleep, and that the victim's dying words to the police were: "She stabbed me." We were told that while all the principals in the case—judge, jury, prosecutors and defendant—were white, the defendant was represented by a colored attorney, DeFrantz R. Williams. Asks Aid for German "Negroes." New York City.—An appeal from Paris to Afro-Americans for aid for "Negroes" living in Germany has been made. They are former residents of German African colonies who settled on the Rhine after the war and married German women. They are being subjected to much the same treatment as the Jews. Contributions are being asked to send them back to Africa, just as American Jews aided Jewish refugees from "Hilterland." Sylvester Harris (and his mule), of West Point, Miss., has sent President Roosevelt a 28-pound turkey for assistance received in his farm work, some months ago. Sylvester seems to be a W. F. N. He was sent to Chicago as a Democrat to help defeat Congressman Oscar Priest. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS CRACY! BURN DEMOCRATS Y IN THE NEXT U. S. CONGRESS FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS. and Old Republican Party Has Gone and Old Principles of Years "The Greatest Menace." NORTHERN DEMOCRATS NORTHERN DEMOCRATS IN THE MAJORITY IN THE NEXT U. S. CONGRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS. Miller Says the Grand Old Republican Party Has Gone With Its Grand Old Principles of Years Ago—"The Greatest Menace." The political realignment of the race is a byproduct of the northern migration. As long as the severe restrictions placed upon "Negro" suffrage by southern Democrats prevail the "Negro" in that section will be held in his hand, and there will be great allegiance. But in the north he finds conditions different. Northern Democrats are every whit as favorably disposed to his political and civic claims as are the Republicans of that section. On the other hand, southern Republicans, of the lily-white variety, are as hostile as local Democrats. Ever since the northern migration set in the colored vote has been weakened, the "Negro" vote for John W. Davis, Al Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt has been on an increasing scale. In the recent congressional election the overwhelming majority of this vote was cast for Roosevelt and the New Deal. A "Negro" Democrat was chosen to succeed Oscar De Priest, veteran Republican stalwart and stand-patter, from the First Congressional District of Illinois. Democratic "Negro" representatives were sent to state legislatures from Chicago, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and New York. Most remarkable of all, two "Negro" Democrats were elected justices of the peace in Durham, N. C. The political center of gravity of the race has not only been shifted from the south to the north but from the Republican to the Democratic party. The grand old party of bygone days freed the "Negro," made him a citizen and gave him the franchise. The benefitted race was thus placed under a heavy and lasting debt of gratitude. But past benefits will not long survive present day indifference of the former benefactor. When a man was born, he knew not Joseph, the Israelites soon forgot the favors which the Egyptians bestowed upon their ancestors. Practical politics deals with issues of the day and hour, with scant regard for history or prophecy. "Negro" voters over 60 years of age who learned of Republicanism under Summer, Stevens, Tom Reed and Joseph B. Foraker can hardly seve allegiance from the grand old party of younger generation who have observed Republican tendencies under Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover have no such cause for gratitude. Small wonder then that they set For Representation Our People or This Community Are Entitled to in City Hospital and Elsewhere in the City's Service. Dear Sir;—We stuck by Mayor Harry L. Davis and materially helped elect him. The first thing he did as mayor was to reduce the number of our internes at City Hospital from two to one. We young voters know we are entitled to four internes, each year. The Democrats gave our voters two when we had a Democratic mayor, but our Republican mayor has taken one from us (at the City Hospital). Election is coming, next fall, and Mayor Davis will run for reelection. How shall we meet this hospital interne issue which is directly under the mayor of our city. He can't put it on the Western Reserve Medical unit. Our party bosses must give our voters their proportion of the recognition. If they want to stay position, it they party. Our party can't continue to take the things that belong to us and give them to other races. A new class of internes is to be selected, this month. And now is a good time for Mayor Davis to give us the four internes, at City Hospital, that belong to us. At the opening meeting of the recent Republican campaign, held in Republican headquarters, among the things the mayor said was: "I would rather go down to defeat than desert those who supported me last November." And yet that is just what he has done thus far to 99 per cent of his men in Ward 18 led by former Police Department Secretary Charles Smith; to those in Ward 11, led by Mrs. Della Wilson Clinton, and others in several other wards in this vicinity. --- CALLS ON MAYOR DAVIS Hon.

Already the northern contingent has become the controlling majority of the Democratic party. In both House and Senate the southern members are outnumbered by their northern copartisans. They will set the standards and fix the policies of the party to which the southern minority will be forced to conform. The liberalized Democrats of the north must inevitably liberalize the party throughout the nation. The effect on the Republican party will also be salutary. Henceforth the "Negro" vote will not be regarded as a fixed, unweanable coefficient of that party but the fact that the Democratic bidder for the black vote. The New Deal baptizes its adherents in a new spirit without regard to race, section or previous party faith. Under its dispensation the "Negro" seems likely to become gradually integrated into the political equation, north and south. Kelly Miller. Washington, D. C. NEW HOME READY FOR CHICAGO STOCK SHOW! Chicago, Ill. — Finishing touches are now being made on the mammoth new home for the International Live Stock Exposition which will celebrate its 35th anniversary at the Chicago Stock Yards from Dec. 1 to 8.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1934. What a mess the fight between the New American Scottsboro committee and the International Labor Defense, for the control of the "Scottsboro" cases, has resulted fn, to date. Too bad! A Chicago judge has just decided that "Negroes" and whites cannot "occupy the same apartment house." That individual surely must be a southern "cracker" who does not know he is endeavoring to limit a citizen-right of members of both races or classes. He will learn better and soon. Senator Simeon D. Fess thinks the Republican party should hurry up and reach some decision on the "serious matter" of the party's policies because the future course of the party is a matter for quick decision. Still fighting the New Deal as he did thru the campaign, Mr. Fess said "the people will know more about this in two years than now." The Senator is right and should be urged to "carry on," if the Republican party is to win in the next national contest. He should lead in the future as he has in the immediate past. --- We are told by the U. S. housing director that the next "rehousing project" is to be the Outhwaite area, E. 40th to E. 55th Sts, and from Scovill to Woodland Aves. Property to be included is the business frontage on Woodland and E. 55th, the Outhwaite playground and the Scovill frontage immediately north of it and East Technical High school. The poor people (white and colored) of that area, the lowest income group, will be forced out and kept out of it just as those in the Cedar-Central area are being treated and for the same reasons. The "housing" scheme is just a "pain and a headache" for them. HOUSING "HOOIE." Demolition of buildings in the slum area bounded by Cedar and Central Aves, and E. 22d and E. 30th Sts., to make way for the public works administration low-cost (?) housing project started, Wednesday. Contract for wrecking buildings in the area has been awarded to the Cuyahoga Wrecking Co. The project, cost $3,000,000, will be the third in the nation to get under way. It will provide quarters for 624 families, at rents averaging $6.50 a room per month. This automatically bars both the poor colored and poor white residents of the area. The housing in Cleveland's two so-called "slum clearance" projects, the Cedar-Central area and the Outhwaite area, is not for the poor, designated "the lowest income group." The resolution Dr. Roy Bundy was forced, some time ago, by the local Communists to accept, and introduce in City Council, making it a misdemeanor for any business in this city to discriminate against our people, was adopted at Council's meeting, Monday evening. Also, their resolution protesting against discrimination in the restaurant in the lower houses of Congress which Bundy also introduced. Both resolutions are practically valueless, because our Ohio Civil Rights law covers thoroly the provision in the first resolution and provides penalties for the infraction of the law, while the second resolution is not worth the paper it is written on for the very good reason that the U. S. House of Representatives restaurant discrimination is a matter that it alone has control of. It will be up to Congressman-Elect Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago to handle that, if he can. Congressman Oscar DePriest seems to have failed his effort to do so. EXPOSING CRIMINAL JUSTICE. With literally thousands of local social issues calling for treatment, the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice has the nerve to demand of the Cleveland Federation of Labor that it waste its time in turning the Arthur Whitelock case into an issue of major importance. Mr. Whitelock may be a cheap labor racketeer, but the labor body is right in pointing out that when he has paid his debt to society he is entitled to society's assistance and not to its further condemnation. But what is the use of talking in sociological terms? The Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice, as The Gazette has repeatedly asserted, is about an objectionable a racket as Cleveland has produced. Even the presidency of Newton D. Baker, son of a Confederate army surgeon, does not make it acceptable. If the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice had the slightest interest in justice, it would speak out in behalf of the Scottsboro boys; it would have something to say in connection with Tom Mooney's imprisonment; it would be heard in protest against the Claudie Neal lynching. Locally, it would have something to say about the inability of Cleveland's courts to handle the Kenyon V₁ Painter case with any degree of speed or efficiency. It would insist on obedience to our Ohio Civil Rights law by some of the very wealthy individuals who assist in financing the revived association. The Gazette is well aware that there are crooked labor leaders. We are not satisfied with the prejudice toward our workers manifested by leaders of the American Federation of Labor. But we are convinced that the rank and file of the organized labor movement are at last moving slowly but surely in the direction of interracial harmony and interracial action. The Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice, on the other hand, with its insistence on long prison terms even for minor offenders, would, if it had its way, turn out of our prisons the most brutalized assortment of human beings that the nation has ever known. Under the perfect heaven visioned by Miss Leona Marie Esch, operating director, and her financial backers, the penitentiaries would vomit forth derelicits, brutalized by ten, fifteen, and twenty years of idleness in cages, spent under the supervision of wards and prison guards. The Gazette is pleased with the rebuke voiced unanimously by the Cleveland Federation of Labor against the bitterly anti-labor criminal justice body. We sincerely hope no Afro-American in Cleveland will look upon Newton Baker's hobby of his declining years as a worthy project in social engineering. Doings of the Race Dr. Ossian H.

She was in Pittsburgh, recently. More than 123 "Negroes" have been executed in the North Carolina state penitentiary at Raleigh and only 22 whites in the last 25 years. The Michigan state prison is being accused of inhuman brutality, discrimination and segregation by a number of Afro-American inmates. Wm. J. Allen of Trenton, N.

YOU KNOW ME, AL ARE YOU THE BIRD WHAT'S GON'T TO REFEREE THIS FIGHT TO MORROW NIGHT NAW, THAT'S MY TWIN BROTHER THAT BLACK EYE DON'T BELONG TO ME WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH YOU SURE - THAT'S MY LUCK AND NOT THE FIRST TIME EITHER NOT THE FIRST TIME WHAT? American News Features, Inc. BY RING LARDNER IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME IVE BEEN MISTAKEN FOR MY TWIN BROTHER. I WISH HE WAS A PREACHER INSTEAD OF A REFEREE "TRIUMPHANT INSANITY." In one of the brief chapters of Rev. Frank Crane's book, entitled "Every Day Wisdom," we find this subject, "The Triumphant Insanity." The title is very suggestive of the trend of our present civilization. After reading that article and comparing it with the doings of the nations of the earth (ours included) I was persuaded to believe we have triumphed in insanity. None of us seem just right. Judging from the brain and energy put forth deviling arts of destruction nations are dealing against us, and we will agree. Dr Crane in part it not in whole. Suppose prizes were given in Cleveland to the school for the best poison and the deadliest dirk; and the City Council paid nineteenth of the city income to supporting a gang of murderers, what would we think of it? All civilized nations believe that their safety is preparation for war and the greatest ingenuity of men is turned constantly to making inventions that shall enable them to conquer. Are we tending back oo savagery—Christianity? Centuries ago, Dr. Crane says men emerged from beheadstock and began fighting each other. The man who whipped out a club whipped his opponent who had only his fists. Later on bows and arrows were invented by the tribe to wound and kill at long distance, which was an improvement over the club weapon. Then came gun powder and T N T and poison gas to destroy life. We seem to have reached our acme. It is said that certain poison-gas, put in the nozzle of a low-flying aeroplane, three miles above his life, would in the radius of a mile wipe out a whole city. Had Germany had that gas and a couple hundred aerplanes, our American force on the Argonne would have been annihilated twelve hours. My God, whither are we bounding? Has the church lost its savor? Is it the Benedict Arnold to its Christ, its Lord? Some one has said treason is the darkest crime in any country. It is equally so against any growth in the army, and brain-energy spent in preparation of destructive weapons of war, would not, could not be if the Church were loyal and less traitorous to her Lord. Hunting new ways to kill and destroy men is madness triumphant. God, have mercy on a mad fatuous world. Righteousness exalts nations, and not gas and powder and money. The psalmist of old cried out, "How long! O Lord, how long! will the recreant Christian continue to sleep on crime and war and hell defying us to meet with Our great commender Jesus Christ, the Church." All power in heaven and earth is given into Me. Ye go and evangelize all nations. That power I put at your disposal." Are we using it? THAT MOB STORY From Wellington in the Daily Papers the First of the Week, a Lot of Southern "Cracker" Rot— WELLINGTON, O. — A southern "cracker" in a northern community is like "a poison fly in a pan of milk." That explains the "stuff" the daily papers carried, the first of the week, about "a threatening mob" in this old abolition town. Geo. E. Walden has a nice barber shop here. One of his patrons, James Casey, owed him 80 cents for two hair-cuts. Casey claimed Walden owed him 75 cents. They met in a local drug store and had some words about the alleged debts. Casey struck Walden who gave Casey a good "lacing." The latter who, it seems, is a member of the American Legion, then appealed to the local justice of the peace. Casey claimed Walden slashed at him with a pair of shears, Walden being injured in Justice E. H. Perkins' court. Casey then appealed to certain local members of the Legion and the local newspapers who manufactured the stuff about a mob chasing Walden out of his shop, his home and out of the city to Oberlin and Cleveland. Walden has re-opened his shop and will be protected by the better element in this community from the southern "cracker" sympatizers, Legionaires and newspapers. When the victorious Democrats in both the county and state begin distributing the "Jewels" (jobs) note the moaning and knashing of teeth of the so-called "Negro Democrats" nearly all of whom will be "left out in the cold," as usual. One or two will be favored but the rest will be told that they only voted with the Democrats for a job because they were "sore," and that the faithful (mainly Irish and foreign-born Democrats) who stick with the party, year in and year out, must be given the places. And then the howl will begin. "Twas ever thus!"

Fattening foods are taboo. American audiences, being of an intensely practical turn of mind, demand that their opera stars look their parts. They want a wisp of a girl as the pathetic Butterfly, a frail and delicate Mimi in La Boheme. Like the music master in Grace Moore's picture "One Night of Love," they want to see "a Carmen who weighs less than the bull."

Either People Thought So T WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY JOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH YOU SURE - THAT MY LUCK AND NOT THE FID TIME EITHER 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 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. Penon 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. MOBS. 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 "mousie 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,ubs, missiles or in any other manner, may not 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 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injury, 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 re-earns the sum of the property share. If there be no widow or or children 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 rigit of action as one purposely injured or killed by 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 3.) Section 6286. If the decedent so synched 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 the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars 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 the amount of the fee for the 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, 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 is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 128. 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, eating house, barber shop, hotel or other place by law, shall be 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 dollars 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 law by which it will use a car offence they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Fair Moth One of the most beautiful and thrilling dance attractions at the World's Fair is the "Dance of the Flame," which Muriel Page performs at the Streets of Paris. The petite dancer pirouettes about the giant candlestick until her wings catch afire in a sudden burst of flame. The danger involved in the dance is evidenced by the fact that her clothing is controlled by mechanism which causes it to drop to the floor when she pulls a ring that is attached to her waist. Frequently the heat from the flames makes that way of escape necessary. LIQUID - TABLETS SALVE-NOSE DROPS Y. M. C. A. Cor. Cedar Ave. and E. 77th St. A HOME FOR YOUNG MEN!

Police are holding the man alleged to have shot her in her home at 4 a.m. A sister of Mrs. Stovall told police that the widow had been going with the suspect for some time and that he had urged her to marry him but that she refused. The sister told police that the suitor came here, three months ago, "on a freight train" and was wanted in Florida. Marc J. Grassman, chairman of the Cuyahoga County relief administration, Sunday afternoon, declared himself in favor of cash relief "as the greatest step we have taken toward the prevention of a truly pauper class. He promised that relief orders would be extended to all sections of the county as fast as possible, in a speech before the St. James' forum. He admitted frankly that the relief administration has "cheated landlords because we could get away with it." He said the situation had been impounded somewhat earlier but he added that rent in full would add $200,000 to $300,000 to the county's monthly relief bill.

He named the river for his ship, the Columbia, Captain Gray, who traded a chisel for 200 otter skins, .probably aid not sense the river's destiny In the clat ter of his plunging anchor chains. After establishing this claim to the River of the West for the Infant Amer fean Republic, he continued to stoke his hatehes with fur, and sailed for the marts of Canton. But the barrier was broken, and the Columbia became the wilderness highway through Indian Oregon. In the exploration by land that fol lowed, Lewis and’ Clark led the way across the continent in search of the headwaters of the Columbia, 13. years after Gray had entered its mouth. Close in their moccasin trails followed fur traders and trappers of two na- tlons, competing for control of this stream that drains an azen of 259,000 square miles, taps the snow beds of the Yellowstone and the Saskatchewan, and provides the only sea level passaze through the lofty Cascade Range to the Pacific ocean, Over the Oregon Trail, For more than a generation Colum- dian waters echoed to the buoyant songs of the fur brigades before the first covered wagon, hauling an iron- nosed plow, rumbled westward. Then, beginning in 1843, throngs of men, women, and children trekked over the perilous Old Oregon ‘Trail trom the Missouri. ‘ Covered wagons, stretching as tar as the eye could see, rumbled thelr tollsome course toward the Columbia, carrying pioneer families into a tragic struggle with stalking death, The old Emigrant road is strewn with un- marked graves.

Here, near the junction of the Wil- lamette and Columbia rivers, the build- ing of Portland into one of the world’s major inlshd seaports and the peo- pling of its enormous domain mark an American epoch. People once considered the city's distance of 100 miles from the sea a disadvantage, but this location has been a major factor in its growth. Improvements In the natural sea lane provided by the Columbia river have brought the ocean lner to the thresh- old of a rich and productive area, and to the center of industrial production at Portland, Mountain and valley con- tours that dip portions of several states into the Columbia basin give easy grade to cargoes of golden grain, wool, lumber, and fruits that pour through the gorge into the city’s huge terminals and manufacturing plants, In pioneer days the Willamette vat ey was the meeting place of two cur rents, the border Missourians, who same by the plains, and the so-called “Boston men,” who arrived by sea, Phis vanguard of empire was ma- rooned for a generation, until the rail- road was built. Portland's fine schools, ts symphony orchestra and its junior symphony orchestra, and its patronage of the arts reflect the New England aneestry, while the city's hospitality reveals the influence of the southern From Portland, the broad and popu- ous Willamette valley extends south or 150 miles between the Cascade nd coast ranges, containing, in only about 14 per cent of the area, 64 per cent of Oregon's population. ‘Agricul- ture is concentrated on either bank of the river in a belt five to ten miles wide, Phe highway above the canyon far- nishes an excellent vantage point from which to watch the spray from the horseshoe-shaped Willamette falls’ ris- ing to mingle with the blue smoke of the woolen, pulp, and paper mills that its thundering waters operate on elth- er bank. ‘These falls have long been famous for their salmon fisheries. Above this lava obstruction the Wil- lamette valley for 135 miles to the south has been filled with silt, form- ing a broad, alluvial valley floor. This floor 1s 100 feet higher than It would be without this natural dam; hence the streams that flow into the Willam- ette from the bordering Cascade and coast ranges deploy upon the plain and form a natural irrigation sys- tem for the valley. Many communities have concentrated in the production of one crop, such as loganberries, strawberries, cherries, prunes, and celery. Most of this pro- duce moves direct to more than 50 canneries located in the valley; some is shipped to distant markets, Champoeg and Salem. ‘Twenty-seven miles, north of Salem 4s Champoeg, the “Plymouth Rock” of ‘Oregon. Here, on May 2, 1843, pioneers organized the first American civil gov- ernment in the Northwest—an event which, during the dispute with Great Britain, helped to save Oregon for the United States. Salem, hub city of the Willamette val- ley and capital of the state, lying 52 miles south of Portland, is the center of the largest hop-growing area in the United States, and Is also one of Ore- gon’s largest fruit-canning centers, With a climate similar to that of Ire- land and portions of Belzium and France where flax is grown, Salem has made a persistent effort to establish a linen industry. ‘To obtain a better view of the vat- ley, one may climb into the lofty cop- per dome of the state capitol, over- looking the city, more distant hop fields, and red orchard hills, ‘A stone’s throw across the street are the historic buildings and cam- pus of Willamette university, the old- est educational institution in Oregon. Newberg, McMinnville, Albany, and Forest Grove have similar institutions, monuments to ploneer days, when re- ‘igious sects founded academies and small colleges almost before they were “settled on the land. Both the Oregon State Agricultural college at Corvallis, and the State uni- versity at Eugene, are surrounded by green-shaded campuses that are verit- able garden spots in this beautiful val- ley. Douglas Fir and Cedar. Although flanked by vast resources of Douglas fir, the Coos bay region noted for its Port Orford cedar. ‘These valuable forests reach south to the Rogue river, in a belt rarely more than 40 miles wide, growing amid pto- tecting firs. ‘Phe Japanese flag waves in and out of Coos bay over the stern of vessels carrying Orford cedar Jogs and squares to Japan for house construction. AML the verdant richness of spring seems to be blowing landward on the molsture-laden sea winds. For miles the Oregon Coast highway runs through arcades of rhododendrons. In February, trilllums, — shootingstars, ladyslippers, pink, fragrant calypso, ‘and the fawn lilies bloom under the firs in the vast forests. North from Tillamook bay for 85 miles one drives through rich pastoral valleys devoted almost exclusively to the production of Tillamook cheese Factories of the farmers’ assoclation dot the valley floor along the high- way, using altogether about a hundred tons of milk daily in the production of # standardized product. Each com: munity builds its own factory and Keeps its own books, but the expenses of the buying and selling organization ‘are pooled and prorated according to the number of pounds of cheese pro: duced. ‘About Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia, much of the early history of Oregon is woven. To the south, across Youngs bay, Lewis and Clark wintered in 1905-06 at Fort Clatsop. The Pa cifie Fur company started, 204 years after Jamestown was founded, to erect the fort, which became the nucleas of the first American settlement in the Columbia valley. It took four men two or three days to cut down one of the lofty firs. ‘THE GAZETTE, OLEVELAKD, 0. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1934.
