A, & A, died Saturday, August 3, 1918, 6:59 a.m. at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Nannie C. Dickerson. He had been sick for several weeks and under the treatment of his personal friend, Dr. E. R. Jefferson had been able to walk about and superintend his official duties. He was so much improved that he deceived it advisable to go away and recuperate. The change of air did not yield the expected results and he weakened gradually and took to his bed. His condition became alarming and Dr. Scott was called in to prescribe for him. He grew steadily worse until convulsions of an hour's duration set in. The end came during that week and he passed peacefully away. Funeral Director, A. D. Price was notified at once. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PUNERAL He in turn communicated with Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., who communicated with Mrs. phloas M. Crump and the mother of the deceased. All arrangements were placed in the hands of Grand Chancellor Mitchell. Mr. Robert F. Dickerson, brother-in-law of Col. T. M. Crump, Funeral Director A C. M. Murrey, of Staunton, represented Funeral Director A D. Price of this city, who had charge of the remains. Mr. Price lot at 1 p. m., with the casket, and at 12 o'clock Sunday morning took the train for this city. Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson accompanied the remains here. THE COMMITTEE ACTS A committee from the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia composed of Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., Mr. John T. Taylor and Dr. E. R. Jefferson met the remains Sunday morning at 8:15, Mr. Taylor gave the use of his touring car for the purpose. The remains were conveyed to Price's undertaking rooms and prepared. After which they were carried to Col. Crump's residence, 1415 Ross street. There they remained until 7 p. m., when they were conveyed to the Pythian Castle, which had been draped by Mrs. Lace Cross and her corps of assistants. Miss M. t. Chiles arranged for the profusion of palms, which added much to the appearance of the parlors, where the body was to lie in state until the time for the funeral. THE SCENE AT THE CASTLE Hundreds of people thronged the Castle to view the remains. A Python guard served night and day watching over the remains. Notices had been sent out from the Grand Chancellor's office and telegrams began to come in. Rev. Thomas H White, Grand Predate of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, was in Pennsylvania. The telegram was forwarded to him there from Clifton Forge, Va., and he wired that he would be on hand Monday night. Col. Crump was shrouded in the full dress uniform of a Colonel of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. THE FUNERAL SERVICES The funeral took place Tuesday at 3 p. m., from the Pythian Castle. The mournful cortege marched to the Second Baptist church, where Rev. Thomas H. White delivered the funeral sermon. The church was packed. Ministers throned the pulpit and the surroundings. Music was furnished by the Ebenezer Baptist church choir. The Scriptures were read by Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church. Prayer was offered by Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., pastor of the Sharon Baptist church. The hymn was lined by Rev Scott C. Burrell, D. D., General Secretary of the colored Y. M. C. A. REV. DR. WHITE'S SERMON Rev. T. H. White then delivered RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1918 THE LATE COL. THOMAS M. CRUMP a most eloquent and pathetic sermon from the text, "To live is Christ; to die is gain." He related in a most sympathetic manner his relationship to the deceased and he drew consolation from the Scriptures in the fact that Col. Crump had run well the race that had been set before him. Although a young man, he declared that he had done about ninety years of service. He made many telling references and deeply impressed his hearers about the uncertainty of life. At the conclusion, Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph. D., pastor of the Ehenezee Baptist Church, by special request of Col Crump's mother was invited to speak. He made a most unique address. Remarking that the text would be capable of deducing therefrom many sermons, he proceeded to discuss the same text used by Rev. Dr. White, to the complete satisfaction of all present, Mr. Joseph Matthews, leader of the Fifth Street Baptist Church Choir sang a soul-stirring melody. Solos were rendered by Messrs.

MR. THOMAS M. CRUMP, SECRE TARY-MANAGER, SOUTHERN AND SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA, INC., PASSES AWAY, FUN- ERAL AT SECOND BAP- TEST CHURCH --- Mr. Thomas M. Crump, Secretary Manager of Southern Aid Society of Virginia, the, was born Feb. 13, 1869, in this city; was educated in the public schools of his native city he began his public career as a black Smith in the carriage and wagon shop of Mr. A. D. Price, later a porter for the Singer Manufacturing Co. In March, 1891, he entered the services of the fearless John Mitchell, Jr., at the Richmond Planet Office, 814 E Brood street. From March, 1891 to June, 1899, he served Mr. Mitchell faithfully as collector clerk, bookeeper and the last five years of this period as assistant manager. During which period his employer at no time ever hesitated to leave his entire plant and business, in his charge. Bu May 1977 at Suffolk Va. he was elected Grand Keeper of Record and Seal of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Ephrates, which position he held until his death. He professed religion in 1889 and joined Choever Baptist church. In May, 1899, he was elected Secretary Manager of Southern Aid Society of Virginia entered upon his duties June 15, 1899 which position he filled until his death. He was chiester of Second Baptist church choir and connected with many of the Fraternal and Benevolent institutions. He was a successful friend maker and holder, was broad-gauged, open-hearted and friendly. Every one found in him a personal friend and companion. Doubless his greatest work was with Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., having been in its active management for eighteen years, and witnessed its great progress made during his management. During 1917 his health began to give way and his friends noticed this with some degree of alarm. In May, 1918, he gave up his active participation in business and sought medical aid, finally leaving the city for the more invigorating, refreshing air, water and environments of the Blue Ridge Mountains at Staunton, Va. This seems not to have improved his condition, but it steadily grew worse, and on Saturday morning, August 3, 1918 he passed away from this world. His remains were tenderly borne to this city accompanied by members of his family and friends. Funeral held at Second Baptist Church, of which he was a member and the chiorist of its choir, which was largely attended by his friend and the various fraternities with which he was connected. The floral designs were numerous costly and from all sections of the State. Funeral discourses by Dr. T. H. White, of Clifton Forge, assisted by Rev. Wm. H. Stokes, Ph. D. of Richmond.

A. Sherry yesterday evening at 7 o'clock, Mayor Ainslie's official investigation of the Police Department came to a close. With the conclusion of the Sherry trial the last echo of the police scandal has been heard, with the exception of the decisions of Mayor Ainslie, which are impatiently awaited. Mayor Ainslie has given no intimation as to when he will make his decisions in the case of Captain George E. Pollock, Detective Sergeant L. C. Burtuciel and Najor A. C Sherry. However, when pressed for an answer, he admitted that he would reach a decision in three or four days. Discussion in Richmond is rife as to the probable decision of Mayor Ainslie in the cases for which he has held public hearings for the last two weeks. When decisions in these cases have been rendered the last of the grand jury report of the police scandal will have been heard. Not a single one of the policemen indicted by the grand jury was convicted; all of them were acquitted by trial juries in the Hustings Court. SHERRY'S. CASE. DEPENDS, ON SWEET'S TESTIMONY The early conclusion of the Sherry case was a pleasant surprise to even the best informed. Every factor yesterday united in pushing the case forward at top speed, and by a continuous session beginning at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the trial was finished in one day. Although devoid of outstanding features the testimony of Ex-Policeman Harry F. Sweet, formerly leader of the "purity" squad, was the feature of the trial yesterday. Sweet was the only star witness for the Commonwealth, and upon him the prosecution depended to prove its charge against Major Sherry. Sweet's testimony was not corroborated by subsequent evidence, except in minor particulars. The manner of Sweet's bearing, and not his testimony, was a surprise to every person who crowded into the courtroom. Belligerent at all times, threatening on occasions and unquestionably insulting throughout the grifling cross-examination of Harry M. Smith, leading counsel for the defense, Sweet proved to be a most astonishing witness. THREATENS THRT HE WILL NOT TELL ANYTHING From the beginning, when he threatened Mayor Ainslie, "that if you do not let me tell all in my own way I will not tell anything." Sweet assumed the offensive and kept the offensive the whole time he occupied the stand, which was almost two hours. Rebellions at the start, he refused to be guided by the Mayor, by counsel for the prosecution or by counsel for the defense, and although frequently overruled by Mayor Ainslie, persisted—and did testify in regard to matters that had been objected to by attorneys for the defence and sustained by the Mayor. When Sweet took the stand Attorney George Bryan, for the prosecution, asked Sweet to tell all that he knew in regard to the specifications 1, 2 and 3, which charged Major Sherry with "being under the malign influence of proprietors of illegal gaming," and with conniving and encouraging illegal gambling houses and with "tipping" off a suspected viior of the law. At this time Mr. Smith asked that specifications 4, 5 and 6 be stricken from the charges because of their natural nature. Mayor Ainslie sustained the objection of Mr. Smith, and ordered that specifications 4 and 5 be stricken from the charges. EMPHATICALLY DENIES CHARGE MADE BY STRAIN The testimony of Sweet, who is now in the employ of the Adams Express Company as a private detective, follows: 'All I know about Strain is that Strain's affidavit was read to me in the grand jury room. As to my going to Acca with him to get some liquor and that the liquor was brought in and sold and I got $100 as my share, that story is a lie. 'I don't doubt that another police officer was with him. The whole thing is a frame-up to get me in jail. It was framed by Strain, Bosquett, Frank Gentry and Sherry.' In attempting to explain how Major Sherry got "sore" and had it in for him,' Sweet related raids directed by him upon several houses of ill fame in this city. Proceeding with his testimony in spite of objections, Sweet said that 'Strain was not suspended until three weeks, after he had filed his affidavit. Major Sherry should not only have suspended him, but have sworn out a warrant for his arrest for a man confessed to be a thief and a bootlegger. When Strain was suspended, the chief wrote him a letter of apology for his suspension." When asked about one of the specifications charging Major Sherry Sherry with protecting gambling in a poolroom at $28 East Main street, famous for years because it has been known as the "bucket of blood." Sweet told how he had been "laying low" for that poolroom for several days. PUT INTO UNIFORM AFTER RAID ON POOLROOM 'I went to the poolroom on Thurs day, and I saw gambling go on. On Friday I went back and took Paul Beattie with me, but while we were watching, a man passed and looked hard at us, and I told Beattie that 'I guess it is all up.' On Saturday I went to the station house and Sergeant Sheppard told me that there were orders for me. The orders directed me to report back in uniform at once. It was on May 12. I said to Sergeant Sheppard: 'Damned if I'll do it.' I wrote out my resignation but Sergeant Sheppard advised me not to take such action. On Sunday I saw Major Sowell—" Objection entered by the defense and sustained by Mayor Ainslie. Attorney Bryan then asked the witness: "From whom did you understand the orders to go back in uniform proceeded?" "Captain Sherry ordered me back to uniform. His name was signed to the order." "Why did he do it. Mr. Sweet?" (Objection by the defense sustained.) DESCRIBES RAID ON MAIN ST. POOLROIM "Tell all you know about the raid at 828 East Main Street." Turning to the Mayor, Sweet declared, "If you don't let me tell all I'll tell none of it. I was ordered back to uniform as soon as I went after that place. "On May 22nd Captain Sherry got a phone call from the Second Station to be at Seventh and Franklin streets. He took me with him and we met Policemen J. J. Harris and A. C. Holt. We didn't know where we were going then. "Captain Sherry took the back way and Holt and I got in in time to get $262 and arrested Wilbon, Gates and Sampson, who were the proprietors. The case was $4 called in Police Court and continued. While there Captain Sherry said to me: "They're all good follows and I would like to get them off." They were discharged in Police Court and got the $262 back. "Later on a lady phoned Sherry that one of her relatives had been getting liquor at $28 East Main St. Captain Sherry told me to tell them that he didn't want to arrest them, but that if they had any liquor they had better get rid of it." I called Sampson downstairs and gave him the message." CHARGES SHERRY WITH PRO- TECTING POLICY SHOPS In regard to the specificatoins charging Chief Sherry with protecting policy "joints," Sweet said: "Very few policy joints were ever pulled in the First District. I know that policy was never bothered. The last two complaints were handed to me by Captain Sherry, who said: 'You know what to do with them,' 'Course I knew what to do with them—to stay away from them as far as I could.' On cross-examination, Sweet admitted that the fact that Captain Sherry was in uniform at the time of the gambling raid on the "Bucket of Blood" was a good reason for his going to the rear but said that the superior officer should always lead the raid. In addition he admitted that in compliance with Sherry's alleged request as to getting the men off, his testimony in the police court was "weak." Mr. Smith then asked him if it was not Justice Crutchfield's fault. Sweet's answer was: Crutethick often convicts men before they open their mouth, and you know it as well as anybody. I have often heard you tell him so. Sherry told me to be light on the men, and I made my testimony light. HAULED OVER COALS IF POLICY SHOPS WERE RAIDED. Continuing Sweet admitted that Sherry had given him orders to clean up houses of ill fame and asserted that in this concession the First District was superior to the Second. He said that if a policeman 'pulled a policy joint he was hauled over the coals, ordered back to uniform, or ordered from one beat to another." Mr. Sweet, did not the same condition as to policy gambling exist before Captain Sherry was captain? asked Mr. Smith; and when Sweet refused to answer, asked: 'Did you know of any policy shops that you could have broken up and did not break up?' At this juncture the Mayor insisted upon Sweet answering the question, and Sweet hotly exclaimed: 'Mr. Ainslie, you know what would happen if we radied policy shops.' At the conclusion of Sweet's testimony, the Commonwealth rested its case and the defense insisted upon the calling of Policemen J. J. Harris and A. C. Holt, witnesses for the prosecution. In compliance with this request the Mayor summoned Harris. Harris told of his part in the raid at 828 East Main street, which in this particular as to the nature and results was practically the same as Sweet's, and said that the reason for the continuance was that he requested it in order to obtain witnesses. He said that all the policemen admitted that they could not see gambling going on, and for that reason the men were dismissed. HARRIS TELLS OF RAID ON POLICIF SHOP Harris then told of raiding a place at Eighth and Cary streets, where he caught three men writing policy. One was convicted and the other two dismissed. The same evidence was offered in all three cases. He admitted making a statement at the time that if one had been convicted all should have been convicted, or all should have been acquitted. He also admitted that at first he thought that Chief Sherry (was willing to have only one conviction in all three cases, but learned different later on. As to raids on policy shops, Harris referred to his record, which would prove that in six months, up to last June that he had raided about thirteen policy joints. Archie C. Holt then took the stand and told of his connection in the raid on the poolroom at 828 East Main Street, and his testimony as to the manner of the raid tallied with that of Sweet and Harris. Justice John J. Crutchfield, of the Police Court, who had arrived a few minutes previous, then took the stand. He said that he remembered THE RICHMOND PLANE1. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA the gambling cases against Wilbon, Sampson and Yates and that they had been dismissed because there was not one 'scutellia of evidence against them." He said that as to the policy arrests made by Policeman Harris at Eighth and Cary streets he also remembered that "my old friend Flannagan, king of policy, was dismissed and one other of the men at the top was dismissed and the colored man heavily punished." MESSAGE CAME FROM SOWELL, NOT FROM SHIRRY William Sampson, one of the proprietors of the poolroom at 828 East Main street, denied that Sweet had ever told him that Sherry sent him there to get rid of any liquor. However, he declared that Sweet told him that the chief had sent him there and that R. B. Sowell was then chief. Plainclothman M. F. Lumpkin said that there was no truth in what Sweet said about the police being afraid to raid policy shops. He said that he never hesitated. Former Policeman C. A. Strain, who, a few days ago, resigned under charges, emphasized that everything he told in his affidavit that Sweet had received with him $100 for allowing the transportation of liquor was true. He added that the affidavit had been made of $h_1$ own free will and accord after being advised by $h_1$ mother. Captain J. W. Sheppard, of the First District, said that he knew of no unwritten law that policy should be protected. Policeman R. W. Allen testified that Sweet had once testified in behalf of a notoriously disreputable woman who was acquitted. Following is a list of the character witnesses introduced in behalf of Chief Sherry; Dr. Robert L. Kern, W. Creed Davis, of the Sittering-Carnel-Davis Company; Joe. B. Welsh, formerly a member of the police board; L. Z. Morris, president of the Police Bonevolent Association; W. A. Cheatwood, member of the Board of Fire Commissioners; and F. A. Landers, brick contractor, who had known Sherry for forty years. All of them declared that Sherry's reputation for truth and veracity was of the highest. SHERRY SAYS SWEET OWNED CARS DRIVEN BY BOOT- LEGGERS Major Sherry, the last witness, categorically denied all the charges and pronounced the statements of Sweet to be absolutely and unfounded Hes. He said that his action in regard to Strain was taken only after a conference, and with the full approval of Mayor Ainsle. He said that he had never connived or protected gambling or made a distinction in policy and other forms of gambling. He said that Sweet was prejudiced against him because he reported him for operating two "for hire" automobiles on the street, driven by two of the most notorious bootleggers in Richmond—the two Jollys." After submitting records to show that the standard of the First District compared favorably with the Second he admitted that Sweet had made an active officer and that much of the clean-up in the First District was due to Sweets activities. He branded every charge made by Sweet as absolutely false. WANTED—A Good Representative in every town. Can make from $15.00 to $50.00 per month working for us. Particulars free. R. C. GULLEY, 404 E.

The report describes the lynching of Mary ‘Turner, the wife of one of the first victims, which was most revolt: ing and brutal. ‘Me elevel persons lynched met their fate as the restilt of mob frenzy, following the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, and the wound ing of his wife, on May 16. Ono of the men lynehed is said by the As- sociation to have stated to several persons interviewed by Mr. White, that he alone did the shooting and that no others were implicated. ‘The Association says . that Mr. White's findings were submitted to Governor Dorsey at the latter's re- quest on July 10 and that a copy was mailed the President for his informa- tion a few days ago.

As the President says, ‘it (lynching and mob violence) can: not live where the community does not countenance it.’ " A summary of the report follows: “Instead of six vietims of the mobs which ranged over Brooks and Lown- des Counties from May 17 to May 22, eleven authenticated cases were dis: covered during an investigation of the cireumstanees surrounding the killing of Hampton Smith a white farmer of c Q tale ‘cy ol ‘Brooks County, Ga. and the wounding of his wife near Barney, Ga. on May 1G and of the Iynchings whien fol lowed. | “Prost dispatches at she time named Will Head, Will ‘Thompson, Hayes ‘Parner, Mary ‘Turner, his, wife, Eu gene Mico and Sidney Johnson, the latter of whom had stated before he Was eapmired to several persons in- terviewed Unat he alone was. impli- ented n the affair and ihat the five who had previously heen lynched (the five already named) were not involved in it, “Bive additional vietims were found Chime Ritey Simon Schuman and. 3 unidentified “Negroes whose bodies were taken from the Little River just below Quitman, Georsia, about a week after they” had’ heen lynched, Negrnes of the neighborhood gold the investi- gator that. there were eighteen v'e- ‘tims but no more than eleven could he authenticated (“More than 500 Negroes have teft the region since the outbreak so that A number of Negroes who were said by acquaintances to have mysteriously disappeared could not bo located nor their whereabouts ascertained and are not inchided in the investigator's find ings, Hundreds of acres of onee pro- ductive lands are now over-rin with weeds and dozens of farm houses and cabins deserted by their former oe- cupants, despite the threats. involved inthe ‘statements of the mobs that any Negro attempting to leave the region would be considered to be in- Yolved in the killing of Smith. “Chime Riley was lynched and clay turpentine cups, used to catch the gum when turpentine trees are cut, were tied to his body and the body thrown into the Little River, near Barney’ Ga.

Before this thing is over, all of us over here and all of them over there will have gotten enough of war. They are still firing upon Dr. W. E. B. DuBois on account of that "watch and wait" editorial. Some folks pray too much and work too little. Some other folks work too much and pray too little. They are killing German generals in the Ukraine. This seems to be more than the Allies can do in Europe. We would like to know what has become of the Nobel Peace prizes. Col. Theodore Roosevelt got one of them, but he is not seeking another. The hot weather would have been all right had it been spread over a period of three months instead of over three days. The bootleggers have begun to regard the jails of this commonwealth as a good temporary resting place until they get out to engage in another campaign of supplying many people's wants. Mr. Hoover is not very popular in this country at the present time. If we lose the war, it will be well for him to live in France or in some other country that will appreciate him and his services. --- They intend to draft men from 18 to 45 years of age. Some of these men who are married wish that they could be left at home and the women of those ages taken. But then, most women have no ages. Colored folks are supporting the white folks and the government. --- Be polite and obliging, colored folks. You have a reputation for being that way already, but be sure and keep that reputation. Mayor Ainslie has met the issue promptly. We see, or think we see, that the next move of the Civic League will be to remove not the Administrative Board, but the Mayor. Hon. Henry Beck has already been mentioned as a probable candidate. He is too cautious to risk a chance two years ahead of schedule time. There is no North, no South, no East, no West in this war, and the time will come when there will be no Negro and no white man in this war, either. All will be performing a common service for mankind and the recognition of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man will be gladly embraced by all parties to this ghastly sacrifice of human life and treasure. THE EXACTIONS OF WAR We have always insisted that colored people were entitled to all of the rights and privileges of any other people. This position is being emphasized by the coli of colored men to the colors and the ready response of the multitude, who have joined the United States Army. When the war first "broke out," some of the white Negro-haters seemed to think it would be a picnic. They did not want any Negroes brigaded with them and it was proposed that Ne- groes be drafted to work and white men be drafted to fight. Now all of this $i_8$ changed. The most welcome sight in the eyes of a white man is to see a Negro with a gun, going in the direction of the Germans. While the long roll of killed and wounded is being called with its heart-aches and heavy sights for grieving families, relatives and friends, the feeling against the citizen in black has suddenly given way to admiration for this same class of people. We are impressed with the warning of Hon. Barnard Baruch, chairman of the War Industries Board; He virtually announces the suspension of constitutional guarantees and proclaims a government of pure socialism. Certainly, if the white folks can stand it, we can do the same thing. He says: "Up to this time, no man nor woman has lacked for anything because of war conditions. It will be otherwise in the future." He might have added that you did not want for anything, if you had money enough with which to purchase it. We doubt though if even this is the whole truth, for we have seen the time when we could not buy sugar. He is quoted further: "Just what the new war program is to be, we are not yet sure, but it involves a tremendous expansion over anything we have considered up to this time. The increased size of the army means a shortage of production. Millions of men will be taken from productive activities into the army. Their places cannot all be filled by skilled workers, and there must be a period during which the industrial substitutes are learning their duties and acquiring skill." This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He is quoted further: "Then the demands of the military establishment for supplies are increasing even faster than is its personnel. No one has any idea of the increased demand for military supplies unless he can check up on the flow of requisitions and estimates from the government through this department. And the problem is not alone one of fuel and steel for ordnance and ships; it includes clothing, shoes, foodstuffs everything that man is accustomed to utilize for his comfort and living. Civilian requirements and the nonessential industries must yield to the needs of the military establishment. There is but one important thing before us—to win this war." This is socialism and Prussianism. But who will say that it is not necessary in order to win this war? It may be necessary, even if we lose it. It is drastic language, but he becomes most drastic in his statements. He is quoted further: "I should not hesitate to take anything any one might have for his own advantage. If the taking would benefit the whole of society and help win this war. Every man's life is at the call of the nation, and so must be every man's property." Are these utterances inspired? Are they authorized by the Chief Executive of the nation? If they are then the legislative and the judicial branches of the government must cease functioning for the period of the war, for the reason that property interests and personal rights and privileges will have been absorbed and commandeered by the executive department of the Government. He is quoted further: "We are living to-day in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all; the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is his only as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state." For whom does Chairman Baruch speak? Is there any power other than that of the President of the United States authorized to go so far in a deliverance upon such an important subject, and would he, do it without consulting the Attorney General of the United States? The people are willing to yield up their all to save the government. When will such a course be necessary? Chairman Baruch seems to take a gloomy view of the situation. The recent drive by the Allies seems to have aroused possimism in him rather than optimism. Are we on the verge of defeat? If not, why talk about the necessity of such sacrifices? Is he preparing us for the worst? We admit that we are puzzled over such a discussion at this time, when the hopes of our people have been carried up to the highest point. He is pointing us to the abyss below that threatens to engulf us. President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker tell us that we shall win the war and not lose it. COL. THOS. M. CRUMP (Continued from First Page.) stroyer our deceased friend and leader, Mr. Thos. M. Crump, would have still lived. But, alas, at such a time how vain is the hope of man!! He lingered through the night and at an early hour on Saturday morning, August 3rd, while the city of Staunton was still wrapped in repose his spirit left its earthly tabernacle and ascended to the God who gave it. No man of his generation had a CHE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA more vigorous intellect, a more courageous temper, or a more generous disposition. His intimate friends and associates knew how to appreciate properly those rare magnetic qualities of the heart which drew around him and attached to him so warmly all who came within the circle of his personal acquaintance. We know that we utter a sentiment which will touch a responsive chord in the breasts of those who knew him best when we say that as a citizen no man was more patriotic and public spirited; as a friend no man was ever more unselfish and true; as a leader no man was ever more loyal; giving at all times his affent, time and money. That mother which he loved so well and upon whose bosom his mortal remains once calmly reposed, will mourn him as one of her noblest and brightest of sons. It is not for us to teach the moral lesson to be drawn from this sad and afflictive bereavement. In the presence of such a solemn event we feel that silence would be more eloquent than words. As notes of warning are ever and anon falling upon our ears, it would be well for us all to pause in the midst of those busy and exciting times to reflect upon the shortness and uncertainty of human life, and to remember "what shadows we are and what shadows we pursue." RESOLUTIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA, INCORPORATED IN RESPECT TO THE DEATH OF COL. THOMAS M. CRUMP, SECRETARY-MANAGER The Board of Directors of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Incorporated, having heard with profound sorrow of the death of their business associate and friend. Colonel Thomas M. Crump, Secretary-Manager of the corporation, who died on Saturday August 3rd, 1918, and desiring to place upon record a slight testimonial of their estimate of him, therefore be it resolved. (1) That, in the death of Colonel Crump, this corporation has sustained the loss of one of its real foundation stones. Indeed, in the early history of *of* the corporation during its years of struggle, in connection with others whose labors and personal sacrifices only they and their Maker can ever know, Colonel Crump brought forward as his contribution toward its great success, in addition to his means, his rare natural qualities unusual attainments as a business man and general popularity, thus causing the corporation to take on new life and to advance by leaps and bounds until it has now attained a place in the business world which is not outranked by any other institution of its kind in the State, regardless of race or color. Honest and accurate to a fault, his deities and accounts have never yet revealed errors or furnished the slightest ground for suspecting wrong-doing, Musical by nature, of broad culture and strong imagination, his records of the sessions of the board and Stockholders possess a charm which might well distinguish them as models for/ worthy emulation. Of deep thought and persuasive logic, his counsels were potent factors in shaping the legislation and plans of the corporation and in promoting that general harmony and unity of action which are characteristic of its officials and employees. (2) That we shall sorely miss our friend and business associate but shall ever be inspired when we recall, as we shall always try to do, his many noble qualities and good deeds and hisidelity in the position so long and so ably filled by him. (3) That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and published and a copy sent to his stricken widow and aged mother, with the assurance that each member of our Board sincerely sympathizes with them in their and our great loss. (Albert W. Fox in Washington Post.) Something has gone radically wrong with the system whereby American casualty lists from France are transmitted to the American public if these lists are to be regarded as reflecting losses incurred in the recent fighting. There is such an obvious lack of proportion between the numbers reported in the daily lists as killed in action, wounded and missing, and the numbers which must have been involved in the constant death grapple with the enemy that the War Department here has cabled to General Pershing asking him in effect to put into operation a system which does not hold back names of those who have joined the nation's honor roll in battle. PEOPLE CAN STAND THE TRUTH. Secretary Baker said yesterday that he had sent a personal cable to Gen. Pershing on this matter so the public may be prepared for the shock of seeing the numbers multiply ten-fold or perhaps a hundred-fold when the facts come in. Mr. Baker's decision appears to be based on the principle that the American people can stand the truth no matter how hard it hits them, and that there is no need for holding back information on casualties or attempting to soften the blow by spreading out losses by giving them in small numbers over an extended period. In proportion to the service they have rendered to the cause of civilization and in proportion to the military results achieved at this critical time, the American losses in the Marine salient are understood to have been normal. LISTS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY SMALL. There is ground for hope that they may have been less than might be expected. But even on this basis, they are bound to be entirely out of proportion with the numbers reported in the day-by-day routine lists from abroad. Yesterday's list included 36 killed in action. The list given out Tuesday reported 17 killed in action, 11 died of wounds; 96 wounded and missing in action 3. The French, who with the Americans have been bearing the brunt of the terrific fighting in the Marne salient during the month of July, do not make public casualty lists, so comparison is impossible. But the British, who have not been conspicuously mentioned during the July fighting, give their July casualties as 67,291. EVIDENCE OF HOLDING BACK NAMES. ..... During the month of June, when the British were more heavily engaged, the total casualty list is officially given as 141,147. The American casualty list for the month of July, as given out so far, totals 1,973. Army officers admit frankly that the sys em now in operation would be entirely misleading to anyone who attempted to ascertain what the American losses in July really were. There is increasing evidence that the system now in operation in France holds back names for some reason or other over extended periods. The relatives of the men on the lists hear nothing from the War Department until the names reach here by the machinery now in operation. RELATIVES GET INDIRECT WORD This has already led to many instances where the relatives get their first news from roundabout, indirect sources and appeal despairingly to the War Department only to find that nothing has been reported from the merican headquarters. Examples of this hardship on mothers, wives and relatives are being cited more and more. A mother for example gets a letter from France saying that "John will probably come through alright and not to worry." This is her first estimation that anything has happened to her boy. The case of a wife receiving congratulations from abroad because her husband is out of the hospital with his wounds healed and ready to go at the enemy again is cited with the added remark that the wife never knew until then that her husband had been wounded. FRENCH PUBLISH NO LISTS. Many believe that it is of vital importance to the people that they do not obtain, rightly or wrongly, the impression that bad news is held back from them. Secretary Baker appears to have a very decided view on this subject and it is reflected in army circles here.

On the occasion of his birthday he is usually well remembered by his many friends.

B. Jennings yesterday 100 miles off the Virginia coast, announced today, revealed the presence of at least two German submarines on this side of the Atlantic. The second raider has been operating off the coast of Nova Scotia and near-by waters for several days. The captain and thirteen members of the crew of the Jennings have arrived safely at Norfolk, Va., the Navy Department announced to-night. The fourteen men, with the thirty previously reported as having been landed, account for all the members of the tanker's crew. The announcement of the Navy Department follows: "The Navy Department is advised that the captain and thirteen men of the crew of the American tanker O. B. Jennings, sunk Sunday by a submarine 100 miles off the Virginia coast, have arrived safely at Norfolk, Va. The men reached Norfolk in the small boat in which they left the Jennings. This, with the thirty previously reported rescue', accounts for all the crew." Presence of another raider in the writers off the Middle Atlantic coast, where in May and June upwards of twenty vessels were suck, became known today when the Navy Department announced the sinking of the Jennings and the landing of from this trty to thirty-two members of the crew at Norfolk by an American patrol boat. FULL DETAILS OF SINKING NOT YET AVAILABLE. Full details of the skipping of the Jennings were hecking to night, but from the fact that the steamer sent a wireless message saying she was being shelled and asking for assistance, officials assumed that the submarine opened fire without giving the crow time to take to the boats though there was the possibility that the steamer had undertaken to make a run for safety. Patrol boats answered the radio calls, but neither the Jennings nor the submarine was in sight when they arrived Sunday night at the position given by the steamer. Later, survivors were found. The submarine, which has been operating for several days in Canadian waters is believed by officials to have sowed the mines of foreign manufacture picked up off the coast of Long Island, after the armored cruiser San Diego was sunk near Fire Island, N. Y. July 19. Belief of officials that one of these mines caused the destruction of the cruiser was confirmed to-day by the report of the naval court of inquiry, which expressed the opinion that the loss of the ship 'was due to an external explosion of a mine." SAN DIEGO TAKING THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS WHEN SUNK. The court found that the San Diego was steering a proper course to minimize the submarine and mine dangers in those waters, with a careful watch maintained and the ship zig-zagging at a speed of fifteen knots. Loss of the vessel with the death of six men was in no way due to any negligence failure to take proper precautions or inefficiency of Captain H. H. Christy or any of the ship's personnel. Steps to deal with this latest raider have been taken by the Navy Department and patrol boats and seaplanes already are searching the coast waters Officials reiterated that the movement of troops to France will not be interfered with. Latest official information of the operations of the submarine in Canadian waters came to the Navy Department last Friday in the report of a sinking of a British fishing schooner. Unofficial reports said the submersible was operating there as late as last Saturday but even if it had started South she could not have reached the position where the Jennings was destroyed Sunday. There were at least two submarines operating in the first raid which was confined largely to the waters off the Virginia Maryland and New Jersey coasts. It continued three weeks and some twenty vessels the majority saling craft were sunk. None however was of military value and several of them subsequently were raised and taken to port for repairs. FROM FLORENCE, S. C. FLORBNCE, S. C., August 5. On Sunday morning a powerful sermon was preached by Dr. Taylor the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church. He used a text St. Matthew 7:29: For He taught them as one having authority and not as one of the scribes." A crowded house listened to him and admired the forebite manner in which Dr. Taylor handled the text. To show their appreciation the congregation gave $50.00 collection, the largest in a similar service yet given at the church. Mr. Steward McCoy of Bennettville S. C. passed through the city recently enroute to Mullins. S. C. with the body of his wife, Mrs. Martha McCoy, who died at Bennettville August 3. She leaves a husband and three little daughters to mourn their loss. Dr. J. R. Lay of our city is in the race for chairman of the Republican State Committee, which meets in Columbia in September. Mr. W. C. Rush the county chairman will see to it that all is well. Crowds of delegates men and women passed through the city during the week enroute to Bennettville, S. C. to attend the Grand Lodge session of Odd Fellows and Daughters of Ruth. The city clock alarmed Monday, at Noon for fifteen minutes to celebrate the American arms' victory in France. The Joint Stock Hall on Boyds street is nearing completion and when finished will be a tribute to the race's progress.

AMBULANCE SHIP SUNK; 123 MISSING London, Aug. 5.—The admirally his evening issued the following communication concerning the torpedoing and sinking of the steamer Warilla: "The homeward bound ambulance transport Warilla was torpedoes and sunk on the 3rd of August." LIFEBOATS ARE SMASRED The vessel was torpedoed near a British port while bringing wounded men to England from France. The total number missing is 123. These are as follows: Two military officers, a commandant in Queen Mary's auxiliary corps, one American soldier, seven of the crew and 112 others. After being torpedoed the ship remained afloat for two hours and a quarter. Immediately after the explosion five Hilebots were launched, but before they could be cleared they were smashed and many of their occupants were killed. Destroyers rushed to the spot where the submarine was seen to submerge and dropped depth charges. More than 650 survivors have been landed at a British port. WAS NEARING PORT London, Saturday, Aug. 3.—One hundred and fifty patients are reported to have been killed by the explosion of a torpedo which sank a ship this morning. This ship was returning from France and nearing a home port when the torpedo struck her. About 100 wounded have been landed at a British port, coming ashore in what clothing they could reach when rudely awakened. About 400 patients were on board the vessel. It is not known definitely what the loss of life was. One hundred patients, however, are accounted for as having landed at one port, where they were cared for by British organizations and the American Red Cross. SHIP PLUNGED IN DARKNESS A British Port, Sunday, Aug. 4 (By the Associated Press.)—The ship torpedoed yesterday morning as she was nearing home from France was struck in the after part of the engine room. Three members of the staff were killed here and the dynamos were destroyed, plunging the vessel into darkness. Just over the dynamo was the ward room, containing more than 100 patients. Most of these were killed outright by the explosion. The others, injured by the explosion, were trapped and perished, except for a few who jumped overboard and were picked up. (The Warilda was built at Glasgow in 1912. She was 411 feet long, had a beam of 56 feet and a depth of 34 feet. Her registered tonnage was 7,713. She was owned by the Adelaide Steamship Company, of Port Adelaide, Australia.) EIGHT AMERICANS LANDED (By Universal Service' At an English Port, Aug. 5.—Eigh wounded American soldiers, most of them from Chicago, are among the survivors of the Australian ambulance transport Warilda, torpedoed and sunk without warning at 1 o'clock Saturday. Survivors of the disaster have been handed here. No other Americans are said to have been aboard the Warilda. The vessel was carrying many nurses at the time she was sunk. Fourteen were killed or drowned as the result of the explosion. One torpedo was fired. No Ubont was seen. Scores of wounded on the third deck were trapped with their nurses, ladders and foreways being wrecked by the explosion. Heroic efforts to save these victims by means of ropes fatthed. Lieut. Huber, of Chicago, said most of the American wounded hailed from that city. Capt. Beatty, of Quincy, Ill., endeavored to save a Wawe nurse from the demolished deck of the transport. SIX WOMEN BELIEVED LOST At least six women are believed to have been lost in the sinking of the Warlida. Albany and New York nurses, who attended the rescued American soldiers who had fought side by side with the Australians on July 4, said there was no panic on the upper decks, nurses, orderlies and the crew all working like beavers to bring the wounded on their cots to the top deck. The Americans aboard Included Lieut. Harold Huber, Corp. Ralph D. Buchman and Private Carl Schweiding, Thomas Stathas, George W. Wenthe and Herbert R. Nelson, all of Chicago, and Capt. James Beauty of Quincy, Ill. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES Last Friday night the Blues and Reds made their first drive and both sides are happy over the great beginning.

THE RICHMOND PLANET POLLOCK IS FINED . OTHER CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED Mayor George Ainslie yesterday afternoon vindicated Chief of Police C. A. Sherry of all the charges preferred against him by the special grand jury of the Hustings Court and ordered him to report back for duty this morning. In the case of Captain George E. Pollock, Mayor Ainslie sine him $150 on the charges of having been intoxicated and guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer in his home on November 25, 1917, Completely exonerating Detective Sergent L. C. Bertucci, Mayor Ainslie ordered him to report back for duty this morning. Thus has the last chapter of the police scandal as reported by the special grand jury of the Hustings Court on June 24 been read. Charges affecting the Police Department have been sustained in only one case—Former Policeman C. A. Strain, who was permitted to resign under charges because he had already enlisted in the aviation section of the signal corps. The report recommended the "removal of Chief Sherry for the good of the service since he is under the influence of promoters and proprietors of illegal gambling houses." The removal of Captain Pollock was recommended because of "habits of intemperance and conduct unbecoming an officer." The removal of Sergeant Bertueux was recommended for "frequenting gambling houses and participating in illegal gambling." Charging that Strain was either a bootlegged or a perjurer the grand jury recommended his removal. REPORTS DUE TO JEALOUSIES WITHIN POLICE DEPARTMENT The police scandal in Richmond arose out of peculiar conditions. Subsequent facts prove that it was a scandal stirred up within the ranks of the Police Department. Rumors have flow $n$ thick and fast, discussion as to irregularities in the Police Department has been rife and interest was aroused to fever heat, which continued unabated for three months. When the grand jury made its report on $n$ police matters in this city eight policemen were indicted and the dismissal of Chief of Police Sherry, Captain Pollock, Detective Sergeant Bertueci and Policemen Strain recommended. All of these indictments and recommendations were made for alleged violations of the liquor and gambling laws. Previous to the meeting of the grand jury Mayor Ainslie had taken official cognizance of the grave situation in the Police Department, and removed, on May 23, former Chief of Police J. R. B. Sowell for "infirmity of judgment and discretion fatal to one occupying the high and important position of Chief of Police of the city of Richmond." After much delay, ouster proceedings against Major Sherry, Captain Polock, Detective Sergent Bertuci and Policeman Strain were instituted in the Hustings Court. During the first week in July, at the specific request of Commonwealth's Attorney Wise, Mayor Ainslie suspended all the police officers against whom ouster proceedings had been begun. On July 7, formal ouster proceedings were instituted in the Hustings Court, Judge D. C. Richardson on July 27, rendered his decision that the Hustings Court had no jurisdiction over the trial of these cases, and that the Mayor's power of removal of police officers was original and exclusive. MAYOR AINSLIE RENDERS WRITTEN DECISION When this decision was rendered Mayor Ainslie immediately began a public investigation of the charges against Sherry, Pollock, Berufuel and Strain These hearings began on July 22 and were concluded August 5. Yes tegday Mayor Ainslie rendered his decisions in these cases, which are as follows: "In the matter of G. E. Pollock: I find from the evidence that charge 1 is sustained. That the respondent was intoxicated and guilty of conduct becoming an officer in his home on November 25, 1917. In view of the fact that this is the first time that charges of any kind have been brought against the respondent, during his sixteen years of faithful and highly efficient services to the department and in keeping with the immemorial practice in the department in the trial of first charges of this character I fine the respondent $150. I find from the evidence that the other and additional charges against the respondent are not sustained. "In the matter of L. Bertueci: I find from the evidence relating to charge I against this responden, that there was a violation of the spirit of section 12 of the police regulations concerning rewards and gratuities by his acceptance of a gift of money for his mother. I find that there was no refusal to divide the money with the Police Benvolent Association because there was no request or demand made for such division. I find that there was no guilty intent to evade the regulations or any attempt at concealment, but that the respondent showed the check at once to several policemen and superior officers, including at least one director of the benevolent association. Holding the transaction, however, to be a violation of the spirit of the regulation above referred to, I hereby order the respondent to pay over to the secretary of the department the sum of $50—one-half of the check received—for delivery by him to the treasurer of the benevolent association. I find from the evidence that the other and additional charges against this respondent are not sustained. "In the matter of C. A. Sherry, I find from the evidence that not a charge against this respondent is sustained, except that one relating to his failure to suspend or remove Policeman Strain when the latter made a confession that implicated himself. This charge was not denied. Strain was left unsuspended deliberately and advisedly in order to preserve him as a witness for the grand jury, to which it was considered he might be useful, but the jury preferred not to call him as a witness. "It is ordered that C. A. Sherry, AUCTION SALE OF THAT Splendid Detached Brick Dwelling, 8 West Clay Street.

SOLE WITNESS AGAINST SHERRY ..WAS EX-POLICEMAN SWEET... In the case of Chief Sherry, the sole witness for the Commonwealth was Harry F. Sweet, former policeman and leader of the "purity" squad. A number of policemen and John F. Powers, house detective for Murphy's Hotel, testified against Captain Pollock. Against Sergent Bertucci, Ben Jacobs, the guiding spirit of the grand jury investigation, was the main witness. Official intimation of an impending police scandal in Richmond was first had when it was definitely learned, about May 19, that former Policeman Frank S. Waller and Policemen Allen and Fraysor, of the "purity" squad, had filed affidavits with Mayor Ainslie implicating Waller, H. L. Price, Abe Jacobs and former Chief of Police Sowell. However, long before this, beginning with the Price-Jacobs's fight, which took place in a Broad Street poolroom about April 1, rumors of police corruption were the subject of discussion, and public interest heightened. Ben Jacobs was injured in a fight with Price, rumors of police scandal over bootlegging were spread broadcast, and the public began to soothe in the throes of rumors, factional rivalry and spitework. Detective Sergeant Gordon P. Smith, an innocent victim of the deliberate erookedness of Frank Waller, prime spirit of the police scandal, was implicated, and immediately called for the grand jury investigation. The report of the grand jury is now history. The eight policemen indicted by the grand jury were subsequently acquitted by trial juries in the Hustings Court. All of the men recommended for removal have been retained.—Richmond Times-Dispatch Aug. 8, 1918. If there is no Planet Agent in your neighborhood, write us about putting one there for you.
