If evidence of the policy-game racket is "brot to our attention," the cases will be vigorously prosecuted, Law Director Ezra Shapiro said to St. James' Forum, Sunday afternoon. It was his little joke, that's all. His talk was mainly on city financial problems. His remarks on gambling were in response to a question from the floor. Our readers will recall the many references The Rounder has made to the splendid food and service given at Mr. Laddof Mueller's lunch counter and restaurant in the Woodland-E. 55th St. Market, right near the Woodland Ave, entrance to the same.

Richard L. Maher, The Cleveland Daily Press" "political editor," says: "The Democrats are going after Herman Finkle's seat in Council, this fall.

Minor is the first Colored man to receive an appointment to the prosecutor's staff at the hands of the Democratic party. Ninety per cent of the voters of the 12th Ward are Colored people." Well, all The Rounder has to say AS BENJ. FRANKLIN Former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan Will Star In The Cleveland Bar Association Historic Pageant.

One of the stellar performances is expected to be given by Daniel E. Morgan, former Cleve- 1870 DANIEL E. MORGAN as "Benjamin Franklin" land city manager, who will play the part of Benjamin Franklin. When in costume Mr. Morgan so closely resembles the famous "Ben" that no make-up is needed. The colorful costumes for the presentation are nearing completion at the Darvas School of Fashion Arts. The costumes are titled "Reception at Mr. Vermont" the concluding episode of the pageant, are said to be especially effective. A string orchestra and a ballet of sixteen girls are to be included in the presentation. The pageant has been set for March 29 and 30 at the Music Hall of Public Auditorium. An unprecedented demand for tickets is being reported by the pageant's chairman. Tickets may be purchased from members of the committee at $1 each. PUT IN YOUR BIDS For Wrecking Buildings in the Outwaite Area—Suites in the Cedar-Central Area. Plans for the new apartment buildings in the Cedar-Central area are about completed and it is expected that construction will be begun soon under direction of George L. Craig, project manager. This project is to have 654 suites with a total of 1,013 bed rooms. There are to be seven suites of two rooms and 354 of three rooms, each class having one bed room; 227 suites of four rooms with two bed rooms and 66 suites of five rooms with three bed rooms each. It will provide for 1,308 rooms ("greys") and 718 children. Charge per room, $6, $6.50 and possibly $7. Plans include a community building which will contain an assembly hall and adequate quarters for a day nursery. There are to be many open spaces of varying sizes, some for play, some for gardens and others for landscaping. Cleveland Homes, Inc., and the Metropolitan Housing Authority, constituting the Cleveland advisory committee for rehousing, made the study in the Cedar-Central area upon which were based the room allocations per suite and the community building. Committees from the public schools and welfare and settlement organizations assisted the committee "Afroas." The housing committee is discussing whether the frontage in the Outhwaite project can be more economically developed with private or federal funds. Well, well! Bids for wrecking buildings in the Outhwaite area are to be received at the local housing office, 604 Marion Building, on March 20, at 4 p. m.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FIGHT! Play, "Stevedore" AND THE JELLIFFES' TETE E OUT OF A LOCAL COURT. From Court Long Enough for the to Continue, This Week. On Rotten Play, "Stevedore" BY THE MAYOR AND THE JELLIFFES' TETE E TETE IN AND OUT OF A LOCAL COURT. Ministers Barred From Court Long Enough for the Vile Play to Continue, This Week. "With a flourish of newspaper trumpets," Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Harry L. Davis ordered Chief of Police George J. Matowitz to see that the profanity in the rotten Communist play, "Stevedore," was "cut out." This as a result of the visit of a joint committee from the Ministers Alliance, Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, president, and the Baptist Ministers Conference, Rev. M. F. Washington, president. Right there is where our two local ministers' organizations "lost out," last week. When Chief Matowitz, representing the Mayor, asked for a warrant to stop the miserable show, Chief Police Prosecutor Michael Picciano, an appointee of the Mayor, refused to issue it. Isn't that rich? The next afternoon, the Jellies applied to Judge John P. Dempsey of the Common Pleas Court for a temporary injunction restraining the police, who represented the Mayor, from interfering with the production. This was what we urged the ministers organizations to do A WEEK AGO LAST FRIDAY when Wagner Magazine repelled the delegation and not to the Mayor but to go into Common Pleas Court, last week Tuesday or Wednesday, for a temporary injunction against further performances of "Stevedore." Had they done this, they would have been in court ahead of the Jellies, secured their temporary injunction which could have been made permanent later on, closing the rotten play for good, last week Tuesday or Wednesday. Their delay in the matter afforded the Jellies an advantage which they used to continue the miserable show on Tuesday, Friday, and Wednesday, for the last week and evening of last week and Monday evening of this week, as well as advertise a new schedule of performances for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. When a deputy fire-warden visited the Karamu theater, last week Thursday, and condemned it as "a fire hazard," the powers that be in the city administration announced that he had not been ordered to do so. In the mean time, Judge Dempsey had made the temporary injunction returnable, Thursday afternoon, when the case was expected to be argued on its merits. This, we understand, as the second incarceration entered into by the city law department, which we understand was represented by Charlie White, an assistant law director, and the Jellifes, director and associate director of the Gilpin Players and the E. 38th St. Playhouse Settlement. The Jellifes refused to obey the Mayor's order to "cut out the profanity" in the rotten play or to make other deletions in it, basing their refusal largely on the stand Police Prosecutor Michael Picciano had taken the week previous, after saying that deletions should be made. Mrs. Jellife's statement that "Stevedore" is listed among "Migrants' best powers for speaking his cause" and that the vile and obscene play "has had the hearty commendation of the most intelligent 'Negroes' and whites of the nation" ARE NOT TRUE! No one can commend the vile, vulgar, profane, even blasphemous language of "Stevedore," and if as she says the book form of it "is to be found in the Cleveland Public Library and leading Cleveland book stores," all of them are sadly in need of "literary fumigation," to say the least. Her statement that other plays in the island, he week, have same name of "Stevedore" as to language used, is also untrue, because there is no reputable theater or place of amusement in the city of Cleveland that would tolerate for a moment such a play as "Stevedore." Deputy Inspector Timothy Costello, Detective Sgt. Jegan Hogan and the deputy fire-warden, who visited the Karamu theater, last week, and "condemned the place as a fire hazard," are entitled to a large meed of praise. In another way, an even worse fire hazard" is the vile and dangerous nature of the district that it did not and does not cause a riot, so vulgar and blasphemous is some of its language. Two local "Negroes" are said to have visited the city hall, last week Thursday or Friday, "where they (said they) were told by the Mayor's secretary and Charlie White, an assistant law director, that the deputy fire-warden had no orders from city hall to make such a visit. Isn't it hard to imagine an AMA to daily newspapers, plans were completed, Saturday, "to have Mrs. Rowena Jellife, director of the Gillpin Players, placed under technical arrest and tried in police (city) --- 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 comparison with any will immediately seize the best WISEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. court on the charge of violating the obscene language ordinance." Friday afternoon, Atty. Walter E. Carey, representing our local ministers organizations, headed by Dr. C. Lee Jefferson and Rev. M. F. Washington, asked Common Pleas Judge Dempsey to enjoin further exhibitions of the miserable production, filing an application for a restraining order. Mayor Harry L. Davis The judge refused it, giving as a reason the Jelliffes' request for a restraining order was already in his court, saying "one suit at a time." It was at this time that Rev. C. H. Crable, one of our local ministers, very pertinently remarked to local daily newspaper men that the performances of "Stevedore" were "encouraging a race riot." And there is more truth than poetry in that statement. He also said, and truly, too, "it is not the kind of play to be staged by a character-building organization RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY FUND." "The technical arrest of Mrs. Jellife," agreed upon by her and the city law department, was scheduled for Saturday. In view of this, Judge Dempsey approved the continuance of the Jellifes' injunction, issued Thursday, to prevent the police and fire departments, representing the Mayor, from interfering with the play. This trial the judge said, accrued in October after E. Carey would be held Saturday of this week. A section of the municipal code prohibits the "acting, exhibiting, showing or performance of any indecent or blasphemous play, show or entertainment of any kind," the penalty for the first offense being a $50 fine. Whether the trial of Mrs. Jellife has ever been held, or any motion to dissolve the Jellifes' injunction heard, we have not learned but understand that they have not. Atty. Carey did not apply for a warrant for the arrest of either or both of the Jellifes, last week or since, feeling sure that Prosecutor Picciano would not issue one to him after refusing to issue one to Chief in the matter. The Mayor's representative in the city law department of the fact that our ministers characterized language of the play as indecent, obscene and profane. "Stevedore," a Communist play, is supposed to expose the meanness and cruelty of the South in its treatment of the southern "Negro," something northern newspapers heretofore have refused exposition, and as much as possible in the case of the rotten play. IT BOOSTS COMMUNISTS—who would destroy our government. The continuance of the municipal court action and the issuance of a temporary injunction, Saturday, by Judge Dempsey "forbidding the city to suppress the play under the obscene landmark insurance," was holding up any further resistance, but our local ministers organizations when The Gazette went to press. Thursday. "IMITATION OF LIFE." I need give in one sentence my opinion of the picture-play, and that is, the acting of Louise Beavers, Fredi Washington and the other participants is, of course, superb, but the production is propaganda, pure and simple, that can only tend to lower us in the estimation of those who already think too little of us in every way except as laborers and humor producers.

SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1935. Ex-Congressman Oscar DePriest claims that he is "penniless and looking for a job." This is hard to believe. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA head, wrote recently: "If any business man held the key to recovery all this time and did not use it, he ought to be lynched." What do you thing of that? Johnson is a Texas product, evidently of the "cracker" class. Those property owners in the Outhwaite "slum-clearance" area who are contending in the U. S. court for more money for their properties than the local appraisers would consent to have given them, are wise! More of the owners of the 167 parcels in the area ought to do likewise. Taking their property from them at the local appraisal price is in most cases confiscation, pure and simple. This same was true in the Cedar-Central area. --- The first of the week a prominent Englishman, who was headed for Cleveland to deliver a lecture, was arrested in Chicago by the government on a charge of being a Communist, according to the local daily newspapers. And yet our local authorities and courts permit the rotten Communist play, "Stevedore," performances to continue here in this city at the Karamu Theater. Lord, have mercy! --- The need of a local race organization, that will function fully and properly, is so glaringly apparent, these days, that an effort is to be made immediately to reorganize The Citizens Rights League. The staging of that rotten play, "Stevedore," in Karamu "theater" made this perfectly clear. There must be no more of that sort of thing in Cleveland. The NAACP local branch, our local Federation of Women's clubs, The League of Struggle and all the other clubs do not yet seem to know that the blasphemous play has been given in the city. LORD, HAVE MERCY! THEY REFUSED! When Rev. C. Lee Jefferson and a leading member of his church appeared at the Karamu Theater, last week Monday evening, to witness the rotten play, "Stevedore," they were told that the theater was filled and thus refused admittance. Dr. Jefferson says they crossed the street and while standing there saw a number of persons admitted. When The Baptist Ministers Conference and the Ministers' Interdenominational Alliance committees of five each convened and selected a sub committee to visit Mayor Harry L. Davis, they invited our councilmen, Hubbard, Payne and Bundy, to accompany them on their trip. They say that Payne and Bundy flatly refused to accept the invitation. Both organizations, according to leading members, will carry their fight against the Jelliffes for their insistence, in the face of a storm of protests, upon producing the rotten play, "Stevedore," to the Community Fund which it is understood supports, at least in part, the E. 38th St. Playhouse, which the Jelliffes direct. They also say they intend to fight the candidates (for re-election) of Payne, Bundy and Mayor Davis for their part in helping the Jelliffes to continue the play at the Karamu theater. And will hardly forget Charley White and Perry Jackson. WINS CIVIL RIGHTS CASE Mrs. Cleota Collins Lacey, who recently entered suit in municipal court against The Wm. Taylor, Son & Co., under our Ohio Civil Rights law, for refusal to serve her in its restaurant, Dec. 12, '34, was given a judgment for $50 and costs, March 11, by a jury in Judge Thos. E. Green's court. Mrs. Lacey waited in vain in the restaurant twenty-five minutes to be served. Mr. Strong, general manager of the Taylor Co., in a letter to the editor of The Gazette, recently, wrote that all the employees of the store have always had strict orders to treat ALL of its patrons with courtesy and respect regardless of their race connection or religious professions. Therefore, the three poor white waitresses, who so grossly insulted Mrs. Lacey, were disobeying orders, and trying to drag her down to their level. 'Twas ever thus! The Taylor Co. was, of course, assessed the judgment and the costs of the case. When you are refused service in any public place here in Ohio, take the matter into the courts as Mrs. Lacey has done. But always be sure to have with you at least one good witness of the refusal. Show in this way that you not only value your rights and privileges, but that you intend to make people respect you and them. We congratulate Mrs. Lacey on showing the spirit that in a marked degree moved her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Ira A. Collins, when in life. The race is in dire need of more of their kind. WALKER'S "APPEAL"! Rev. David Ormond Walker held in a sermon, last Sunday evening, that parochial-school aid for Catholic schools, as an emergency measure, was not contrary to the traditional American policy, if contrary to Ohio law, and was justified as a brotherly Christian measure on the part of other religious bodies. In this he differs radically from Ex-Representative Chester K. Gillespie who voted against a bill favoring state-aid for Catholic schools, introduced in the Legislature which preceded the present one. Walker seems to have changed (as usual), in the last three weeks. He didn't talk that way, a few weeks ago, so is "running true to form." The Gazette and others are NOT surprised, however. Monday morning he "appealed" to the Cleveland Ministers Union for assistance in combating the policy and "numbers" rackets which he said were flourishing. It was the union's monthly meeting in Euclid Ave. Baptist church. Took Walker a long time to find out that those "rackets were flourishing" in Cleveland, didn't it? Just why hasn't he "appealed" to OUR three local ministers' organizations "to help?" He charged that "sales of policy and 'numbers', and drawings, were being made openly, obviously with the knowledge of politicians and without interference by the city administration." The ministers ("grey") "ducked" and referred the matter to the social welfare committee of the Cleveland Church Federation. Wonder what Walker's next change will be? The Gazette verily believes that he can get on more sides of a single proposition, and in less time, than any other person we know of in the city. Watch for his "switch," 'ere long, in the Bryant gasoline station controversy in which he is "balking" a race enterprise with his opposition, showing mighty poor race-loyalty and interest—if any, to the say the least. Dr. Walker ought also appeal to the Mayor, Councilmen Payne, Bundy, Hubbard and Finkle for help in his fight on the policy and "numbers rackets." Somebody tell him. We do not want our readers to feel that we favor the "rackets" or are opposing "state aid for Catholic schools." THAT ROTTEN PLAY. "Stevedore" was not stopped because our local ministers' organizations, leading the fight against it, failed to go into Common pleas court, last week Tuesday or Wednesday, with a restraining order, as urged by the editor of The Gazette when in conference with their leaders, two weeks ago yesterday. The failure to do this enabled the Jelliffes to get ahead of them in this respect, and, with the assistance of the city law department, "beat them to it." Their insistence upon calling on the Mayor and demanding that he stop the performances of the vile play caused the loss of valuable time. Their failure to go into court on last week Tuesday or Wednesday was followed by the Jelliffes doing so, last week Thursday. That spelled defeat for our ministers. This is to be greatly regretted, especially since they had "victory in their hands" but "sinned away their day of grace." The editor told them not to bother the Mayor with the matter and explained why. It was a matter for the courts to settle, as has since developed to the enlightenment of all concerned. We are sorry. The schedule of the rotten play calls for performances thru tonight. Whether there is to be additional showing of it later has not as yet been announced. Our ministers are now free to attend to the Jelliffes, directors of the E. 38th St. Playhouse and The Gilpin Players, respectively, Assistant Law Director Charlie White, Assistant Police Prosecutor Perry Jackson and the Mayor for their part in the controversy. Many of them have indicated their intention to do this. Whether there is to be further effort against the vile play, had not been determined, Thursday, when The Gazette went to press. Daniel Fairfax, of Drexel Ave. veteran clerk in the city water works department, has been critically ill. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. MARCH 16. 1935. 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 1996. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court several times uphold 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. Pay suffuring 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 first Roman dial was erected in 292 B. C. Sometimes before this the clock was a pan of water, a clock, a pan of water with a tiny hole. Sand glasses are found from the earliest Christian times and the wheel clocks with weights date from Boethius, in 510 A. D. The Catholic clergy are credited with the general introduction of such clock into Europe.

Prime Sport News The Ohio H. of R. Praises Owens The Ohio House of Representatives, Tuesday night, paid tribute to Jess Owens of Cleveland, track star at O. S. U., for breaking two world's indoor records. Without a dissenting vote, the House adopted a resolution praising Owens for his "remarkable achievements." He was at the clerk's desk, standing before the members, while the resolution was read. Owens to Race in N. Y., Tonight. Columbus, O., March 14.—Track Coach Larry Snyder of Ohio State announced, Monday night, that he would take Jesse Owens as the only Ohio representative to the K. of C. track games, Saturday night, in New York City. Owens will be entered in the 60 and broad jump. The broad jump will be a special invitational event with a select field of but four jumpers. Eulace Peacock, Temple University's (Afro) star who jumped 25 feet 4 inches, two weeks ago, and Owens, who set the present world record of 25 feet 10 inches, are expected to engage in a brilliant duel. Owens' 60-Yard Dash in 6.1 Seconds. Chicago, Ill.—Blazing over the clay straightway of the University of Chicago field house with cyclonic speed, wing-footed Owens, Ohio State's sensational sophomore from Cleveland, Saturday night last shattered the world indoor record for the 60-yard dash when he burst the tape in 6.1 seconds at the 25th annual Big Ten track meet. Owens' smashing conquest proved the outstanding feat of a carnival of speed that saw the heavily favored Michigan team win over Owens' obliterate record by tallying a record 49½ points, 27 more than its nearest rival, Ohio State. The best previous total was 45 points, credited to Illinois in 1921. The Buckeye comet, who had finished second to Sam Stoller of Michigan in a semi-final of the 60-yard dash, caught in 6.2 seconds, leaped out of his marks like a flash, but was unable to shake off his chief challengers, Stoller and Willis Ward, the Wolverines' defending champion, until the last five yards. With a final burst of speed, however, he triumphed over Stoller by a yard, with Ward beaten for second by inches. Owens' performance eclipsed the recognized world mark of 6.2 seconds, and he was beaten by Geo. Simpson and Don Bennett, O. S. U.; Judd Timm, Illinols; Eddie Tolan, Don Renwick and Ward of Michigan last Saturday night, have equaled it. But Owens ascended the throne with flashing spikes that long will be remembered in the track world.

Trained in First-Aid, Phone Workers Give Valuable Help in Emergencies Ohio Bell Safety Course Includes 2,300 Plant Employees A resounding crash . . . women's shrill cries . . . then deadly silence. A few blocks away a telephone lineman is driving his truck. He hears the crash and a moment later rushes, first-aid kit in hand, to the assistance of two badly injured women. Nearby two tangled automobiles reduced to wreckage. On a road in northern Michigan, a reckless driver swerves his automobile sharply. Behind, a frantic man tugs at his steering wheel to avoid a collision. The car in the rear leaves the road, smashing into a tree with terrific impact. In it, besides the driver, are nine boys from a Y. M. C. A. camp. While the wrecked automobile is still in flames, an Ohio telephone man, who is visiting his son in Michigan, is on the scene administering first-aid to the suffering boys and the driver. These two incidents, taken from actual cases reported to The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, are two reasons why the telephone company sponsors one of the most extensive first-aid training courses in the state for its plant employees. Daily there is similar evidence of the value of this training — a child receives a gash from a broken window . . . an aged man slips on the ice . . . a pedestrian is crushed under the wheels of a truck. Because their work takes them to all sections of a city and far into the country, telephone men quite often are at the scene of such accidents. It is then that their first-aid training proves invaluable. Co-operates With Red Cross The telephone company inaugurated its first-aid training course about seven years ago, in co-operation with the Red Cross. First-aid manuals were prepared and men were designated to supervise instruction throughout the company's territory. As a result, more than 90 per cent of all Ohio Bell plant employees now possess Red Cross certificates in first-aid work. The reputation of the Ohio Bell's first-aid instruction staff is such "NO MORE SHINE IF PORO VANISHING CREAM AND PORO FACE POWDER ARE USED" How Embarrassing!

When the CWA and other federal emergency work programs were launched, involving risks to inexperienced and unconditioned workers, they helped conduct first-aid courses for these men in several cities. This activity was beneficial in preventing accidents and affording treatment for anyone who might have suffered an injury. Telephone men are taught to do their work in the safe way so that the possibility of accidents is remote. In the case of an accident, it is reported in detail to a company safety supervisor.

OWENS CRACKS ANOTHER It is a dull Saturday night indeed that Jesse Owens does not crack a record or two. This amazing youth who consistently gets places faster than anyone else on foot, thus continues to bring glory to O. S. U. his alma mater; to Cleveland, his home town where prestige in athletics he is constantly adding. The interesting thing about Owens is that in spite of all his earlier victories it is only this season that he can be said to have hit his stride. He apparently is acquiring the knack of a fast start, an essential art to the dash runner. 5,000,000 YOUNG MEN in the United States, are interested in model aviation.
