The Washington Tribune Shelley Acquitted By Court Martial CRANDALL THEATRE PROJECT STARTS WITH JIM-CROWISM All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 11 Shelle CRANDALL THEA STARTS WITH Not content with shutting colored people entirely out of his many theatres in this city, Mr. Harry Crandall, who is now excavating for a theatre on U Street, to cater for colored people's support, has again shown how much he appreciates the race, by having the colored men who are working on this project segregated. Two toilets for the accommodation of the workers are situated in the back end of the U street property near V street. On each toilet is a big sign—one reading "WHITE"—the other, "COLORED." These signs are painted in bold black letters and are legible for some distance away. They are evidently in keeping with the policy of the Crandall theatrical interests, and can be taken as a forecast of what these interests intend to do with the money they will get if the race which they bar and segregate supports them. COLORED TROOP HONORED Troop C of the 10th Cavalry (colored), at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., has been designated by the War Department to serve as the personal escort and bodyguard of President Harding at the Pilgrim tercentary at Plymouth, Mass., August 1. The troopers already have started on their ride of 350 miles and are due at Plymouth July 28. Troop C is one of the troops that participated in the Carrizal Massacre of 1918 and the members of this troop, it is said, bear the distinction of having seen more real service than any other troop in that regiment. ASSOCIATED MERCANTILE COMPANY San Antonio, Texas. July 22:—The Associated Mercantile Company of this city has closed a successful year. This company was organized about a year ago and opened a store on East Commerce Street. It was organized by Messrs Langston Branch, Luther Wiley, Simon Whitfield and Gus Johnson; three of them connected with the post office and the fourth one a hotel man. The report of the directors, just made to the stockholders, shows a margin of profit for the first year which was voted for investment in enlarged stock. They are selling stock so that they may enlarge their business by openinfi another store. COMMITTEE TO CALL ON A committee of the local officers of the N. A. A. C. P. called on President Harding this week and extended to him an invitation to personally adress the local branch when it meets in September. The committee consisted of Shelby J. Davidson, James A. Cobb and A. H. Grimke. They were presented to the president by Charles Cottrill of Ohio. 741694 COLORED IN TEXAS The total population of Texas on January 1, 1920 was 4,663,228, comprised of 2,409,222 males and 2,254,006 females. The total increase in population in the last ten years were 766,-686 or 19.7 per cent. The distribution of population as to color in 1920 was as follows: white 3,918,165; colored 741,694; all others 3,369. The colored population increased of 7.5 per cent. The foreign white population of the state numbered 360,519, mostly Mexican and Germans. CHESTNUT FOUND GUILTY BY BOARD The Board of Education, at its call meeting Friday night, found Prof. James L. Chestnut guilty as charged by Miss Marguerite Robinson, of conduct unbecoming of a teacher toward a pupil, and dismissed him from the teaching corps of the Dunbar High School, taking effect on the 15th of July. The charges were filed against Prof. Chestnut on April the 25th, alleging the misconduct was committed February 4th. He was suspended from teaching May 31, and was tried before the Board July 6. Decision was rendered the 15th. The Tribune stated in a previous article that Mrs. Kennard stated that she did not know of the affair until April, but it was Miss Robinson who testified that she did not tell her sister, Mrs. Kennard, of it until she had filed her charges with the Board of Education on the 25th of April. Prof. Chestnut and his family stand well in the city and the charge and conviction has created a deal of interest. Mr. Chestnut's mother has been quite prominent in the Parents' League. THE FIGHT FOR A FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have issued a statement urging every colored man and woman in the United States, as soon as it is announced that the Dyer Bill is reported out of committee and is before Congress, to telegraph to his or her representative in Congress urging passage of the federal anti-lynching bill introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri. There is every prospect that the bill will soon be reported out of Committee, and will be ready for consideration by the Congress. This is the first time a federal anti-lynching bill has ever reached so favorable a stage, and there is every possibility, provided colored people throughout the United States, and white people who stand for law and order, unite in demanding its passage, that it will be enacted into law. That the putting to death within any state of any person within the jurisdiction of that state by a mob or riotous assemblage of three or more persons openly acting in concert, is an offense against the United States; that every participant in such a mob shall be guilty of murder and liable to prosecution in a District Court of the United States; that every county in which such murder occurs shall be fined $10,000, recoverable in a United States Court; that every state or municipal officer who neglects all reasonable efforts to protect his prisoners shall be liable to prosecution in a District Court of the United States, and may be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years, or by fine not exceeding $5,000, or both. The present status of the Dyer Antilynching Bill, is made public so that colored people may organize so that as soon as the Dyer bill is before Congress, a flood of telegrams, from white people and colored, in every part of the United States will go to every Representative of Congress, urging the passage of the measure. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 CORRECT STORY OF TULSA RIOT BROUGHT HERE BY CITIZENS CORRECT STORY OF TULSA RIOT BROUGHT HERE BY CITIZENS Big Mass Meeting Held at John Wesley Church Last Tuesday OVER $300.00 WAS RAISED Will Lay their Plans Before President Harding and the Attorney-General Three hundred dollars was raised at the meeting Tuesday night at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, where Messrs. S. D. Hoker, W. A. Gregg and H. C. Hughes told the true story of Tulsa and the recent riot. These gentlemen are members of the relief committee elected by the citizens of Tulsa to handle the relief and restoration of their city. They arrived in Washington Saturday afternoon, direct from Tulsa and soon were in touch with the local committee of seven, who arranged for the meeting Tuesday night, which was attended by a capacity house and who responded nobly to the call for help from the sufferers of Tulsa. Rev. J. L. Pinn, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, was Master of Ceremonies. He opened the meeting by saying, "The cause which brings us here tonight is greater than any man; it is the cause of humanity." "The motto of the Committee of Seven is: Prayer, Vigilance and Justice," said Rev. Pinn, "and we are doing all we can to show that this is not a 'white man's country' but God's country." Prof. Horace C. Hughes, a teacher in the High School of Tulsa, was the first speaker. He said: "Are we discouraged? No, we are not discouraged by any means." "Eighteen years ago Tulsa was only a village. The Glenn Oil Pool was discovered not far from there and Tulsa grew by leaps and bounds. The 31st of May 1921 she had a population of 90,000 people, of which about 14,000 were colored. There were 24 churches; a high school, two ward schools; 4 drug stores; 16 barbershops, groceries, meat markets and a department store, all owned by our people. June the first saw nearly all of these business places destroyed and $3,000,000 worth of property gone up in smoke. There is no use to leave. We can't keep running all the time. We will have to stop somewhere and we have decided to stay in Tulsa." Mr. S. D. Hoker, of the firm of Elliot and Hoker, who had the largest clothing and shoe store in Tulsa, and is chairman of the relief committee, said: "The real cause of the riot was an economic one." He told of trying to get the Mayor to stop the riot; of calling a Judge but he said he was not a peace officer. He called on a minister and he ran away. There was no one found who would attempt to stop the holocaust. The incident that brought on the massacre and burning, was a trivial one. A colored boy, Dick Rowland, 19 years old, accidently stepped on a white girl's toe, who was operating an elevator. A white reporter heard of the incident and wrote it up as "an (Continued on page 4) MAYOR TO DISCHARGE KU-KLUX POLICEMEN OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 20. Declaring that he had information that 50 per cent of the members of the Oklahoma City police department belonged to the Ku Klux Klan, Mayor John C. Walton directed Chief Glitsch to investigate and to discharge every policeman who does not immediately resign from the klan. The mayor stated this information came from private detectives employed to investigate "this invisible empire." POLLYANNA'S CASE POSTPONED The suit of Miss Carrie Johnson vs. the Pollyanna Social Club came up last Monday before Judge Terrell, but owing to the illness of the president, Mrs. Burrell, the case was postponed until Monday, July 25. Mr. Cobb, attorney for the Pollyannas asked for a postponement until September 15, because some of the members wanted to leave the city for their vacations. Attorney Gaskins representing Miss Johnson, objected to such a delay on the ground that Miss Johnson had lain in jail eighteen months and is now working every day and has not had a vacation for more than two years. Judge Terrell granted a week's postponement and set the case for 10 a.m., Monday, July 25. OTHER CASES POSTPONED There are three cases hanging fire in the courts which are being watched closely. The Hawkins case has not been settled yet. This is the case of Policeman Reh beating up James Hawkins at the American League Ball Park, and placing a charge of assault against Hawkins. The outcome of this case is being carefully watched. The case of Policeman E. C. Spaulding who is alleged to have beaten Miss Novella Johnson on Fairmont street is also being watched. The trial was set for Friday and The Tribune will give the result of the case as soon as it is disposed of. The Laney case, of riot fame, will come up in August as soon as Justice Siddons returns. It is possible that a new trial will be asked for or a stay of judgement may be prayed for. Whatever the result, the Tribune is on the job and will give complete returns. WANTS INVESTIGATION IN HAITI Senator McCormick, of Illinois, on July 19, introduced in the Senate of the United States, the following resolution: "Resolved, That a committee of three Senators, appointed by the president of the Senate, is hereby authorized and instructed to inquire into the occupation and the administration of the territories of the Republic of Haiti and of the Dominican Republic by the forces of the United States." This resolution was referred to the Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent Expenses of the Senate. SUSPECTED IN HOLD-UP William Bowie and Benjamin Grice were arrested Thursday on suspicion of participation in a taxi holdup Wednesday night near the Monument lot, when Gorge B. Blake of Indianapolis, Ind., was held up and robbed of a diamond ring valued at $1,500, a watch valued at $150 and $50 in cash. Office: 920 U St., N. W.

Shelley was acquitted by Court-Martial on all charges of assaulting Richard Christmas in May. The Court reached a decision in about half an hour after the case closed. The verdict, in view of the testimony in the case, appears to be a gross miscarriage of justice. The defense did not make its case on the actual happenings in the case but tried to bring in the character of Christmas, which Shelley did not know at the time of the shooting.

Even on Shelley's own testimony, he would probably have been adjudged guilty in a civil court. The case attracted much interest because Shelley being a Southerner from Alabama, simply let his prejudice get the best of him and committed a crime. Having been in the army 21 years and being within two years of the retiring limit, he made a hard fight to save his record. This was not the first time, however, that he has been court-martialed for shooting. The case of The United States Army vs. Lieut. Col. Jas. E. Shelley for the alleged shooting of Richard Christmas by Col. Shelley on the morning of May 16, 1921 was completed Wednesday evening. The trial began Monday morning, July 18th and continued uninterrupted until the close. Much time was consumed in organizing the court, which consisted of officers all above the rank of Lieut. Col. Shelley. No objections were offered by either side to any members of the court. Lieut. Col. William L. Reed of the 64th Infantry was trial judge advocate; James S. Easby-Smith was counsel for the defense. Col. William M. Armkshank was law member of the court and Col. Thomas Q. Donaldson was the court's president. Capt. Anthony J. Touart, of the 56th Infantry was Col. Reed's legal assistant. Sessions were held in rooms 3020 and 3022 Munitions building, just a block from the scene of the shooting. Much interest was manifested in the trial by many prominent Ministers of this city, many attending every session of the court. Their presence caused considerable interest and comment. The Ministers applied some time ago for permission to have an attorney in the case, but were denied this privilege, the government taking the prosecution upon its shoulders. Lieut. Col. Shelley was charged with the following counts and specifications: "Charge I.—Violation of the 93rd article of war. --- Circulation Books Open To All MARTIAL CLOSES CASE SHERN OFFICER BING CHRISTMAS les on Christmas Behalf ness.

Bosses worked system finely, ‘ not one receives the ax. Many old employees let out. ‘This is the last article of the series. Others will appear from time to time as conditions warrant. "The Tribune has tried to render public service of the highest kind in placing the cause of the unfortunate victims of “the system,” before a just public. Although these conditions have existed for many years in some form or another, they reached a climax under the Democratic admin- istration, during the war. The prophecy of these articles came true last week when hundreds of people were unconditionally discharged many who have been working in the Bureau for a number of years. For Real Quality insist upon | PUSGe.L’s REAL CREAM ICE CREAM ieee, 2 oo Company IN THE COURT OF LAST RESORT ‘The information compiled in these articles has been gathered at great cost. @nder all handicaps, we have persevered. We have spared no pains to verify the truth of every statement, We have the facts and we know what effect their publication will have upon minds attuned to justice and fair- play. Short sighted Democrat holdovers— demagogues, clothed with the purple of authority—all may close their eyes to the truth about the indignation they have caused and seek to deceive others by deceiving themselves; but it does not take the vision of a prophet to see beneath their governmental super- structure—the smoldering fires of pent up rage and class hatred. Here— a dismissal; there—a resignation. These are petty upheavals. As they grow im number and intensity, just to that extent they threaten the “sys- tem.” Such conditions are fraught with evil—for the bosses. Mental rev- olution has quickened the employee's pulse. The coward of yesterday will no longer cringe. He will demand his rights. We are not preaching a pro- eee eee of emancipation. It is the creed of the oppressed. But when you hear toilers at their tasks, employees in the street cars, in their homes and on the streets, all registering the same com- plaint, you are apt to listen with a egree of tolerance. Just so we have listened. We have heard the stories about the unbearable conditions in the Bureau of Engraving and they have rung true. They have convinced us that the greatest conceivable moral wrong is being done the employees. Needless to say, you have but to show the existence of injustice to enlist our aid, ‘Therefore, we are in the fight with all the necessary data and we do not intend that it shall be wasted. We have mailed copies to THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 Secretary Mellon, Gen. Dawes and members of the House and Senate. We do not wish to criticise their tar- diness in making an investigation but we do remind them that we stand solidly behind the facts, ‘The Court of Last Resort In order that nothing shall deter us or thwart our purpose we now bring these charges before a tribunal that is greater than Congress, greater than the president or the Courts, aye greater than the bosses of the Bu- reau of Engraving and the bureau- cratic “system’”—and that is the tri- bunal of the American people. In thousands of homes and offices, we record a protest against discrimina- tion, whether in appointments, pro- motions, assignments, or salary sched- ules. We protest the discounting of efficiency. We protest the use of re- pressive methods. We protest the usurpation of arbitrary power. We protest the intimidation of employees. We protest the absence of a board of personnel. We protest every move or motive that works to the disadvantage of the employees. In so doing, we have no motive other than to serve those who cannot serve themselves. They can't fight. The bosses would take the bread out of their mouths. But they can’t hurt us. We are not dependent upon them. Our fight is for the employees in general. On their behalf we have ac- cepted the challenge of the bosses, While they oppress we will oppose; while they dare we will defy; while they blunder we will blame, while they resort to underhand methods we will expose and our exposure will convert public opinion. Public opin- ion will demand a change. Thus the end of boss rule will date from the publication of these articles. They cannot escape the wrath of public opinion, It is the one irresistible force in human affairs. Our Aims ~ We have no political axe to grind. Ours is the aim of every faithful em- ployee—to promote the welfare of every wage earner. We hope for no remuneration be- yond justice to the deserving, an ade- quate salary schedule for the efficient, af honest rating according to seniori- ty, an advancement according to the merit of the employee, and respect for the rights and privileges of all— and dismissal for the irresponsible bosses who have exercised the prero- gatives of office to such an extent that y have become arbitrary power. To this end we indict and arraign the bosses and boss rule. ‘The Indictment It is a terrible indictment, We charge them with usurping arbitrary power and abuse of the privileges of office. We charge them with des- troying the morale of the institution. We chagre them with discounting effi- ciency. We charge them with inca- pacity in office. We charge them with official “cruelty and the use of repressive methods. What charges could we not bring? They have aided and abetted thieves by placing unknown men in positions of trust without paying them adequate salaries. They have built up a one sided salary schedule for the benefit of the favored. They have inaugu- rated a dual system in assignments. ‘They have cheated the deserving by the use of high handed methods. ‘They have instituted a policy of force, and force always betrays weakness. ‘They have forced employees to des- troy evidence that incriminate them— the bosses. They compelled employ- ees to falsify reports. Contrary to law and a rule of the ‘Treasury Depagtment they have re- quired employees to work more than eight hours per day without extra compensation. They have nullified the contract the government made. with each employee on entering the service. ‘They have'failed to standardize the day’s work. They have failed to note merit while faithfully recording the short comings of employees. They have made rules with the spirit of discrimination, ‘They have interpre- ted rules with the spirit of hauteur. ‘They have enforced rules with the spirit of revenge. Thus they have ‘made rules a thing of contempt, and themselves objects of serious charges and the condemnation of all right thinking employees. Still they retain their positions, gloat over their power, eternally buoyed up by a false sense of se- curity. Where ignorance is so arrogant we have nothing but disdain. Where in- Justice is so flagrant we advise no- thing but resistance. Where bosses are so numerous we recommend no- thing but dismissals. Where em- ployees are so maltreated we offer as- sistance and sympathy. To the employees Thus we pledge ourselves, our ser- vices, and our resources to aid*the deserving. We place our columns at your disposal, We guarantee a pub- licity sufficient to acquaint the public with actual conditions in Uncle Sam’s boss ridden institutions, especially the Bureau of Engraving. To the Bosses To the bureaucrats of the system, we serve this summons and this in- dictment: In the name of the em- ployees you have treated unfairly, we charge you with discrimination. In the name of those you have dismissed thru trickery and the use of question- able methods, we class you as conspi- rators. In the name of those you have kept out of positions, although they stood highest on the Civil Service’ roll, we charge you with gross injustice. In the name of the underpaid, whom you have cheated out of a living wage, we call you dishonest. In the name of those whom you have denied their rights and privileges, we brand you as arbitrary. There may be those who say the indictment is rhetorical, but we know the facts are fundamen- tal. To the Public the great American tribunal. We wish to say that our prophecy has come true—six hundred employees dis- missed from the Bureau of Engraving. Weeks ago, we exposed the diaboli- cal plot. We told how the Democrat bosses were gerrymandering employ- ees, isolating and transfering others. We foretold the purpose. Now it has come to pass—the consummate evil— the supreme blunder of the present administration. ‘The six hundred who were dismiss- ed have only the Republicans to blame, while the five thousand who were re- tained have only the Democrats to thank. Thus the tardiness of the ad- ministration in not promptly remov- ing all Democrat chiefs has worked a serious hardship on many employees and subjected the Republicans to cri- ticism that might react in the next election. It was cowardly of the Republican: not to have assumed immediate respon. sibility and more cowardly of the De- moerat holders to have dismissed many old employees against whom they could not have sustained regular charges. Of course, they can justify the re duction of the force but they cannot justify the method. It violated every principle of logic. It outraged ever; principle of justice. It is an astounding fact that six hundred employees could be dismissed und not be able to dispense with the services of a single boss in an institu: tion that is overcrowded with useles: positions for the dictatorials. Thru eight years of wanton waste they have served to the satisfaction of the system and the Democratic spend: thrifts. They have helped to deplete the treasury and bankrupt the coun try. Now they are being retained ir an administration pledged to economy It is a sad commentary upon Repub- lican fitness and qualifications, if mer can’t be found anywhere who can ad minister affairs better than the Demo- ASS ee OS aS ss BS ss os aS erat holdovers. ‘The government cries out for econo- my, and in the name of economy eruel injustices are being done. The Re- publicans say the working force must be reduced and efficient employees of many years service are being dismiss- ed to settle old grievances and make room for newer fields of exploitation. Such policies cannot succeed. There- fore, with confidence in the judgement of the people; with utmost faith in the proposition that human nature does not go far wrong; with a firm belief in the assurance that popular will is the final verdict, we submit these facts and this indictment to the highest earthly tribunal—the tribunal of the American people. Ser eer a eee OR erg ae oe net Section 6 of the act of August 24, 1912, reads: “That no person in the classified civil service of the United States shall be removed therefrom ex- cept for such cause as will promote the efficiency of said service and for reasons given in writing, and the person whose removal is sought shall be notified of the same and of any charges preferred against him, and be furnished with a copy thereof; and also be allowed a reasonable time for personally answering the same in wri- ting; and affidavits in support there- of; but no examination of witnesses nor any trial or hearing shall be re- quired except in the discretion of the officer making the removal; and copies of charges, notice of hearing, answer, reasons for removal, and of the order of removal shall be made a part of the records of the proper department or office, as shall also the reasons for reductions in rank or com- pensation; and copies of the same shall be furnished to the person af- fected upon request and the Civil Ser- viee Commission also shall upon re- quest, be furnished copies of the same.” ‘The above section of the (the pos- tal appropriation act) act of August 24, 1912, should under normal condi- tions be the means to obtain redress for those who have felt the pruning knife during {the economic epidemic. For the fiseal year 1922 there was ap- propriated for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Printers and their Assistants (wages) when employed $2,086,000, to be expended under the lirection o f the Secretary of the Treasury, not to exceed the rates usually paid for such work.

TO EXPLORE FOLK SONGS Exploring for folk-songs is the mission of Florence Botsford of Los Angeles, California, who will sail from New York shortly for foreign lands. Miss Botsford, working with the International Institute of the white Y. W. C. A. has compiled what will be the most complete and authentic collection of folk-songs ever published. Miss Botsford goes first to Italy for the purpose of verifying in the little mountain villages of that country, a group of their songs which she has already gathered together. African, as well as Japanese, Chinese, Slavic and Baltic songs, and East Indian songs are in the collection, as well as those of western Europe. The book is intended to be a work of poetic art, as well as of musical and historical value VACATION SEASON Generally, all city Choirs and many music teachers and students find this season of the year well suited to recreation and rest. Well may they in quietude far away from the hum and buzz of city life, reflect over the past year's work—the successes and failures if any, and devise ways and means of improving the character of their work for another year. Even during a vaction period however, is it wise to always give over to complete inactivity and relaxation?

Complete inactivity sometimes begets restlessness, weariness and many times laziness, boring you to death, losing the effectiveness of a real rest period while some light mental or physical task relieves one of stupor and gives a refreshing reaction upon both mind and body. Say for instance, choir members may find pleasure in reviewing their anthems, hymns and songs, incidentally doing some sight reading in music even though they must get a tutor; teachers may derive benefit in solving harmonic problems, writing light compositions, and perusing musical biographies; students may find pleasure in perusing a brief biography as in it will be found the needed stimulus to ascend the musical heights, and a short treatise on theory and analysis would give added interest to the student's mental perception. Working without excess, exercising prudence in all things is to our mind, the better way to enjoy a real vacation. Dr. Richard Strauss, one of the world's greatest composers, will tour the United States in the fall. Miss Princess Mae Richardson gave a Harp recital recently at the residence of Mrs. M. J.

Irving Miller, whose "Broadway Rastus" made a good impression at the Lafayete, New York, the week of July 4, and whose "Chocolate Brown" did a nice hot weather business during the same week under the management of W. E. Fountain at the Howard, Washington, D. C., is busy negotiating with some big fellows in the business for the placing of one more company on the Pacific Coast. The personnel and plans will be announced shortly. In addition Mr. Miller assumes the management for the summer of the Quality Amusement Company's Dunbar in Philadelphia, where he will produce a minstrel and several musical comedies. CHARLIE MURRAY HANDS THE PALM TO VIOLET By Charlie Murray As "constabule" of Mr. Sennett's biggest riot, "A Small Town Idol," I had no business in the set that represented ancient Rome. At first I presented it. To be one of a multitude of Roman riots, drinking great drinks from empty cups of gold and silver, to dance with some of the prettiest girls that ever waved a kerchief at the Appian way, to participate in the revels that closed the feast, struck me as being particularly desirable but it was no place for a village guardian of the peace—that's what Erle Kenton, the director, said—and so for three days I hadn't anything to do but study millinery and gowns. What I shall never understand is how Mme. Violet L. Schofield—that's the name of the genius that invented brevity and made a gown of it—managed to think of so many shapes and colors to impose on such a minimum of fabric. No two costumes were alike and there were five hundred of them. The only person that I ever envied was Ben Turpin. He was in the center of the set and could look two ways at once. "BOB HAMPTON OF PLACER" IS NEILAN'S BEST YET What may well be described as a classic of the silent drama is Marshall Neilan's spectacular, colorful and thrilling production, "Bob Hampton of Placer," which shows at the Dunbar Theatre, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, four days. One of the most picturesque periods of American history figures in "Bob Hampton of Placer"—namely, the Indian uprisings which followed the Civil War. And in the climax to this production, which is adapted from Randall Parrish's story of the same name, General Custer's famous last stand against the Sioux reproduced and immortalized on the screen in a most fascinating and dramatic manner. Interwoven skillfully in this thrilling background is an absorbing and beautiful story of faithful comradeship and love, as well as of adventure. James Kirkwood, in the title role, gives a masterful portrayal of Bob Hampton, the gambler, who, dismissed from the service in an army scandal, is restored to a place of honor with Custer in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Majorie Daw has the leading feminine role, and Pat O'Malley, as Lieutenant Brant, is seen as a gallant officer of Custer's staff and as an ardent lover. Wesley Barry, with his freckles and his grin, is one of the brightest lights in the production. Others in the cast are Noah Beery, Frank Leigh, Dwight Crittenden, Tom Gallery, Priscilla Bonner, Charles West, Bert Sprotte, Carrie Clark Ward, Vic Potel and Bud Post. "Bob Hampton of Placer" is released by Associated First National Pictures, Inc. It is a great production—the best thing yet made by Marshall Neilan—and that is saying a great deal. AUDIENCE MADE TO "SEE" MUSIC Movie Director Develops Scheme to Convey Spirit of Tunes "Played" on Screen. Victor Schertizinger, violinist, orchestra conductor and motion picture director, combines in an unique way all of these talents. For this reason Goldwyn selected him to direct "The Concert," a film version of Leo Ditrichstein's famous stage play, which will come to the Dunbart Theatre for and are hoping for his speedy recovery. The Christian Endeavor Society is planning to open Gospel Services in one or more of the courts each Sunday during the month of August. The Men's Quartette of the Church rendered some splendid selections at the Tulsa Mass Meeting at the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church on last Tuesday night. The pastor and Church are especially proud of the choir and its chorister, Mr. T. H. Ward, and the men's quartette composed of Messrs. T. H. Ward, Gustavus Harkum, William Guy and William H. Green. Perhaps fully one-third of the members are away in the country, at the seashore or in the mountains but these members and those in the city will not forget the pastor's vacation fund which the deacons are asking the members to turn in on or before the second Sunday in August. The pastor and officers are planning a big day for the Church on Sunday, July 24. There will be two special sermons by the pastor and extra music by the choir. e A Movie S u Through the. ne Film ntest st during the contest, Ju C., will give a prominent st in and around Wash No Special Qualifica No Special Qualifications This Coupon is Good for 10 votes.

Mr. Schertzinger has worked out a new and effective means of conveying to a motion picture audience the spirit of a musical composition which a screen character plays. Thus, in one part of "The Concert," arising from the grand piano, as the maestro is playing the Liszt "Liebestraum," will be a hazy vision of a cavalry charge coming straight toward the camera and soaring, as it were, above the heads of the audience. The director has played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and other noted musical organizations. After he has read a scenario he thoroughly analyzes the chief characters and composes little melodies which fit their temperaments. He has these melodies played over and over to the actors until they are learned; indeed, until they are hummed habitually, and he claims that one melody learned in this way does more toward getting the actors into their parts than a week's talk. RELIGIOUS NOTES A delegation from Shiloh Christian Endeavor Society which attended the International Christian Endeavor Convention in New York City recently, returned home last week. All of them reported an enjoyable and profitable time and seem greatly encouraged and have set out with renewed vigor for better work along all lines. Rev. Dr. Edwards and his family of Baltimore, spent the day in this city last Sunday. Dr. Edwards preached for Shiloh Church last Sunday morning. His sermon was helpful and greatly enjoyed by all who heard him. This able and eloquent divine will supply the pulpit on the third Sunday in August while the pastor, Rev. Dr. Waldron, is away on his vacation. The Men's Club of Shiloh Baptist Church met on Wednesday night last and elected officers for the ensuing year, the names of which will appear next week. This club will have charge of the advertising of the Church services during the pastor's vacation and will make every effort to have large congregations. Mr. William H. Scott, Chariman of the Trustee Board and the Clerk of the Church, is confined to his bed, 1615 Church St., N.W., by a severe illness. The officers and members of the Church are praying for Mr. Scott GIRLS! 3 Read THE TRIBUNE High Class Work—Conservative Signs F. W. SPRIGGS 25 Years Experience Reasonable Prices Res 616 N St., N. W.

The patrons and friends of the Dunbar were given a genuine treat this week when the diminutive screen star, Jackie Coogan, made his appearance in a 1921 version of "Peck's Bad Boy." The management arranged special matinees for the children during the exhibition of this picture and every "kiddie" in town, who saw this production, came away brimful with satisfaction and with a new store of knowledge as to how to put over some old stunts on "mamma" and "daddy" in 1921 style. The evening entertainments carried its usual capacity audiences, because the grown-ups" too, found much enjoyment in watching mischievous Jackie produce laughter at the rate of a laugh-a-minute. The management, in presenting the costly productions, which it has been their good fortune to obtain for the past several weeks, is being highly commended by and is receiving the loyal support of the public at large for their untiring efforts to give to their patrons, the best features filmed in the motion industry.

Special summer prices are being offered at this time and the cut seems to have met with the general approbation of all the patrons. Manager Vincent B. Thomas is very generously co-operating with the Howard patrons in an effort to bring closer harmony between patron and management, and judging from the manner in which the patronage is steadily increasing, some material good has undoubtedly been effected by this heart to heart co-operation. THE SOUND EFFECT ARTISTS Of the Dumbar Theatre T-o-o-o-o-t, T-o-o-o-o-t, Toot, Toot, the noise of a locomotive in the distance; Bling, Bling, Bling and the train pulls into the station. The next flicker of the picture shows the approach of a "Henry" coming at full speed, H-o-n-k! H-o-n-k!; next instant shows an interior setting of an office with a telephone on the desk. Ding-a-ling!! Ding-a-ling! you hear the bell ringing as though you were in the office. These and a hundred or more incidental sound effects are produced during the presentation of all film productions shown at the Dunbar—by Prof. George E. Battles and Mr. Carroll Boyd, photoplay musicians extra-ordinaire. These two alert musicians really make a film presentation worth while and it is a treat to hear them perform on the wonderful instrument that produces so many combinations of sound effects. HOWARD THEATRE Hailed as one of the best Cosmopolitan productions turned out this season, "The Woman God Changed" will be shown at this theatre for three days starting Sunday July 24th. This is the story of a beautiful girl's life tragedy, but who after many harrowing experiences glides into the haven of happiness on the bark of love. Seena Owen and E. K. Lincoln play the leading roles, and every scene is dramatic and thrilling. Beginning Wednesday July 27th. "The Witching Hour" will be presented for three days. This is a delightful story, filled with dramatic situations of the greatest interest and thrills a plenty. From every other standpoint, the production is one of the most remarkable shown at this theatre, this season. On Saturday, one of the fascinating photoplays will be presented. It is William Fox's production "Hearts of Youth" and is based on the novel "Ishmael" by the celebrated Mrs. E. D. N. Southworth—an American author whose intensely dramatic work has been translated into French, German and Spanish. In this photoplay the youthful Fox star Harold Goodwin will appear. The third episode of "Tis Yellow Arm" will be the added attraction. BIG CHIEF AT DUNBAR The patrons of the Dunbar Theatre on 7th and T streets are to be given an opportunity, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, to see a real Indian Chief and his Squaw. Chief Buffalo Bear and his squaw wife, will appear in person each of the mentioned days at the Dunbar. Chief Buffalo Bear was present at Custer's last stand, although only 13 years old at the time. He will deliver a short lecture at each performance, on incidents leading to the battle of the Little Big Horn. Be sure to avail yourself of this opportunity to see "Custer's Last Battle" in Bob Hampton of Placer, Marshall Neilan's Dramatic Epic of the Great West. WASHINGTON ATHLETICS July 17:—The Deanwod A. C. with their unbroken string of eighteen victories bit the dust before the hard hitting Washington Athletics at American League Park. Punch, Washington's well known "Smoke Ball" pitcher let the Deanwood boys down with four hits and one run. Their only run (an unearned one) came in the fourth when Lee singled, stole second and scored when Montgomery dropped T. Barbour's easy fly. Tom Payne's line drive in the seventh dazed I. Watkins so that he dropped it, picked it up, looked at it, threw it to the pitcher. Wilson the hardest hitter of the Washington Athletics got three two base blows in a row. A new face showed in the Washington Athletics line up, she not new to followers of Semi-pro base ball; that of "Busk" Carroll, who will be a regular for the rest of the season. CORRECT STORY OF RIOT (Continued from Page 1) assault" on a young white girl. Rowland was arested. White men gathered to lynch him. Colored men gathered to prevent him from being lynched. A shot was fired and that awful crime was committed, killing, robbing and burning proceeded. Machine guns and aeroplanes were used. Aeroplanes dropped fire and acid on the homes and followed fleeing colored people out into the country and fired on them there. One man was killed nine miles away. In speaking of the conditions previous to the riot, Mr. Hoker said: "If a white man opened a place in our section, we simply improved our place and met the competition, not on the basis of color, but with a little better goods." "After the fire had destroyed our property we found that the white people really wanted our ground for the extension of their district. The next day, real estate men were down there in their autos, listing the losses of the colored people telling them that they were going to see that they got paid for their houses. The newspapers said that the colored district would be abolished. Then we woke up to the fact that we had been burned out purposely to get this property for the extension of the white wholesale district. We would not agree to sell and the city passed an ordinance, prohibiting the erection of any other than brick buildings. Many of our men went for permits but were told that they were not issuing them that week. Finally a wealthy colored woman went to her banker and thru him secured a permit and since then we are getting our permits to build brick houses. Three were under construction when we left last Wednesday." "The white people, sent out the report that they were going to rebuild our section for us. When they found that we would not move two miles out into the country, they would not and have not done one thing toward rebuilding. $3,000,000 worth of property was destroyed and nothing has been done. We have waited 45 days for them to offer to rebuild. The law requires a suit for damages must be filed within sixty days. We only have until August 1st to file more than 1,000 of these claims, which will cost $10.00 each making a total of $10,000 to simply get our claims before the courts." "We want you to help us to hold that property," said Mr. Hoker. "and if you cannot help, we are going to try to hold it anyway." Prof. Gregg, of the Y. M. C. A. in Tulsa was the next speaker and he said, "By helping Tulsa, you are helping yourself. If what has happened in Tulsa does not arouse your spirit of co-operation then there is no hope for us as a race." Rev. E. W. D. Jones and Rev. Tanner called for a donation. $250.00 were placed on the table and the Committee of Seven gave fifty dollars which they had raised from a meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church the 27th of June. This made a total of $300.00. Of this amount, Mr. J. W. Johnson gave $50.00 and Mr. Satterwhite, President of the Laborers' Savings Bank, gave $25.00. The committee of Tulsa men are visiting nearby cities and are meeting with unexpected success in their efforts for aid for Tulsa. They are to see the President and Attorney General while here and lay the facts before these gentlemen. GUESTS AT WHITELAW Mr. and Mrs. Jessie J. Taylor, Louisville, Ky.

C. A. last Saturday afternoon, showing the wonderful training of their teacher, entertaining their parents and friends with a splendid program. Vesper Services on last Sunday were conducted by the Builders' Club of the Industrial Department, Miss Louise Madella, having charge of the service. Dr. Tunnell was the speaker on the subject of the Great Women of the Bible, mentioning Ruth, Esther, the historical women of power, the militant woman, the suffragette and the result—an amendment to the Constitution of the United States—the missionary woman and lastly the matronly woman.

The opening of the new bank building marks a new epoch in the history of Negro business endeavor in this city. The building is a three story structure of stone, concrete, steel, brick and marble and is one of the finest buildings owned and operated by Afro-Americans in this country. The construction of the plant has covered a period of about nine months and its cost is estimated around $100,000. The building contains, aside from bank quarters, equipped with the most modern fire-proof and timelock vault and bank Norfolk, Va., July 15: The new home fixtures, thirty-five office rooms and two stores. The formal opening of the bank covered a period of one week at which time the friends and patrons of the institution were invited to inspect the plant and building and increase their deposits. The bank remained open every evening during the week for inspection. Some of the features of the formal opening were business men's day, professional men's day and stockholder's day. These special days were not set aside particularly for these special classes of depositors, but as there was a sort of rivalry between them in the making of deposits, special days were set aside to give each class an opportunity to establish the highest record. The Bank's New Features The new features of the institution are a trust and insurance department and a special window for the accommodation of the lady patrons of the bank. The trust department will embrace all the features of a regular trust company, such as the handling of wills, estates, trust funds, etc., while the insurance department will handle fire insurance. The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company was established in Norfolk twelve years ago by E. C. Brown as the Brown Savings and Banking Company and since that time has enjoyed an ever increasing patronage, prestige and confidence of the public. The recent change in its name was made to make it more compatible with its enlarged scope of operations. Under the safe guidance of its officers and directors it has built up a capital and surplus of $200,000 and now has resources more than $900,000. The officers of the bank are: E. C. Brown; president; A. J. Strong, vice-president; J. C. Brooks, vice-president; F. W Williams, vice-president; W. M. Rich secretary-treasurer. DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL The Dunbar Summer High School opened on July 5, for its fifth annual session. It offers opportunity to pupils of Dunbar, and the Junior high schools and of all 8b grades, to make up deficiencies in their winter work and, in the absence of deficiencies, to take advanced grades, for which they received promotion credits on the record-of the winter schools. Students may take two major subjects, and must devote two hours class time per day to each subject. The daily sessions are 8:30 to 12:30 with a ten minute intermission. The school offers academic, commercial, and industrial courses, has a faculty consisting of a Principal and eighteen teachers, a student membership of 798, and is a part of the city wide Summer School organization under the supervision of Dr. W. S. Montgomery. The great need of this school is a more liberal appropriation in order that the teaching staff may be sufficiently large to give instruction in all branches that are offered in the winter school. No child should be denied the privilege of attending because of lack of teachers as is now the case. The summer school, with a force of teachers adequate to the needs of the student membership, is a measure of economy in any school system because it provides for the extended use of the otherwise idle school plant, the wise use of pupils' leisure time to recoup failures or to gain advanced standing, and the saving in cost of instruction represented by salaries for the short intensive summer as against salaries for a semester. Some cities, notably Newark, New Jersey, have already realized the financial and educational wisdom of the summer school and conduct a summer quarter identical in subjects offered, teachers provided, and in every other way, to the fall, winter and spring quarters. It is to be hoped that the all year system will soon be a feature of the Washington school system. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 "Why Theatres Owned and Operated by Our People Should Be Supported" Beginning with this week's issue we will publish a series of the essays Honorably Mentioned during the recent contest conducted by this paper on the above subject. (By Walter E. Tibbs) Everyone is willing to admit that the theatre is an institution capable of wielding large influence over the thoughts and lives of those who come under its influence. The theatre can be a blessing, or it can be a menace to the welfare of the community in which it exists. In either case it functions is an important factor. What the theatre comes to mean to the community in which it exists depends upon what the people demand, and what the theatre management is willing to supply. The people of the community should demand clean, wholesome, elevating pictures. The management should spare no effort to supply these. His acquiescence in promoting the interests of the community in which he solicits support should determine not whether he should receive support, but whether he should be permitted to do business at all in that community. Theatres owned and operated by our people, rightfully, should be supported. They should be supported by our people because facts establish the truth they were organized in the interest of our people. Race loyalty is the noblest virtue of a race. Race members crown themselves with glory when they support their racial enterprises. Knowledge that your comfort and pleasure are matters of concern to the management is gratifying The management spends as many dollars as he can among members of his race. His success will bestow confidence in our business leaders. Confidence in our business leaders is going to arouse that $40,000,000 of race money slumbering in various banks of the city to the end that at least the "missing links" in the chain of U Street stores shall be unbroken, and graduates of our public schools, and Howard University shall find employment therein. We should support these theatres because it is to them that we can look with fonder hope to the restoration of a lost heritage, the history of our race. It is the theatre that can present it impressively, and pass it unscathed down the ages to posterity. It is the theatre that can emphasize the noble and glorious deeds of action, now almost forgotten. Through the doors of theatres owned and operated by our people must pass our aspiring race dramatists and actors on their way to success. Our refuge from mimicry and burlesque is theatres owned and operated by our people. The bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty lies not in other theatres, but in theatres owned and operated by our people. Here lies a dream of yesterday's happiness, and a vision of hope for tomorrow. This is why Theatres Owned and Operated by our People should be Supported. (Bv Solon S. Chavis) Theatre-going is a form of recreation that is undoubtedly beneficial, especially to those who must toil, whether mentally or physically, day after day. One becomes weary with constant toil, no matter in what line of work he may be engaged. Occasional periods of recreation then, are absolutely essential to keeping the mind clear and active and the body in good physical condition. The benefits derived by children from recreation can hardly be overestimated. This is being recognized more and more, and laws are being enacted designed to shorten their hours of labor where they are employed in industry, thereby affording them more time for healthful enjoyment and recreation. Theatres are also educational. A thorough knowledge of human character is one of the essentials of success in life. The stage and the screen depicts human character in all of its strength and weakness. They unfold before us a panorama of the joys and tragedies of human existence from the cradle to the grave. Theatres owned and operated by our people are a comparatively recent achievement, and were the outgrowth of popular demand, and a resentment against segregation in white theatres. Formerly, no matter what our wealth or our social position might be, we were forced to accept a seat in the gallery or "buzzards" roost." Thanks to our enterprising colored business men however, we may now select any seat we care to pay for. When we enter a theatre that is owned and operated by our people, we experience a thrill of satisfaction and an "at home" feeling that is at once delightful and reassuring. The large and steady increase of Negro theatres throughout the country is an encouraging and healthful sign of progress. When we support these theatres, we do far more than help a few enterprising members of the race; we help the entire race. We encourage and promote art among our people; for music and the drama are among the highest arts. Aside from the feeling of race pride which should prompt us to patronize only those theatres which are owned and controlled by our people we should not overlook the important fact that in doing this, we enjoy and encourage the performances of our own artists, and that too, at from one-half to one-third less than the prices charged by white theatres minus the humiliation of segregation. "Help the fellow who is down," should be the motto of every well-meaning, loyal Negro. Why should we patronize a theatre corporation which owns a chain of theatres all over the country, and is worth millions of dollars? What benefit do we derive other than a few moments of pleasure when we patronize these corporations? Money spent in patronizing our own theatres and other business enterprises, is an investment; bread cast upon the waters returning an one hundred per cent interest in the form of better schools, better homes, and the ultimate attainment of the goal of recognition by all nations of the earth. (By Jas. Robinson) Between two races under one government, prejudice always exists but is suspended when the strong finds that it clogs the source of gain. But the principle never dies. Like the dragon that guarded the golden fleece, it may be made sluggish by the magic potion—business—but will revive when the dose is spent. Few express hatred when it would cause their destruction; many swallow the bitter today hoping to enjoy the sweet toorrow. Revenge can wait. Further white theatres have better plays, and finer plants; there the demon of prejudice need never suspend his activities. And the steady stream of dollars that come thru the windows of colored places operated by white people will pay for the destruction EAT YOUR SUNDAY THE WHITER Mr. Robert R.

No dates made without filing a written application. of those owned and operated by colored men. Then goodby concessions. The persistence of prejudice warns us of danger. To patronize separate establishments is to accept the intimation of unfitness. We must remember that fortunes are not placed until our colored men prove the proposition, while the white from a safe eminence view their struggles and disappointments, and like a vulture that haunts the death grapples of gladiators, cast an ominous shadow. It seems that remorse would cause whites to maintain high standards of decency and honor; but such is not the case, or they introduce expensive plants only where modern theatres have been previously erected by colored men. So with the Republic, had our up-to-date theatres not been in that section we would have had to be contented with a dingy structure that "some good white company that thought the Negroes should have some place to go" had established. A most powerful reason for supporting of the theatres owned and operated by colored men, is the power of financial standing. Finance reaches out from the realm of business and affects the moral and political life of the nation. The question of wages is a good example. On one hand is the moral-social argument: reduced wages means uneducated children, inadequate clothing, and unjust compensation; on the other hand is the economic plea that present wages mean the death of roads. Then too, politics are not unaffected by economic principles: men of finance are consulted before campaigns, and after elections; the tariff, free trade versus protection, gives rise to the two most important parties of the nation. It becomes evident, then, that financial power and its economic effects must be of great importance. The theatres are now one of the greatest financial interests of the country and to let white men drive out our colored men is to transfer for all time to come every advantage that would come from their revenues, to the other race. In conclusion let us remember that these white theatres insinuate inferiority, that they put up good places only when forced to do so by colored men, that they risk nothing, for our men must first fight all the battles, that each one that lives and destroys the colored enterprise deprives us of a business opportunity, and of the standing that must go with financial power.

In the little town of Gliachepolis small Dan Falling dreams boyish dreams, timetured with melancholy over his supposed physical weakness. There, years later, he meets Destiny. BOOK 1 CHAPTER L—Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live, Falling sits dependently on a park bench, wondering where he should go. He practically decides the matter for him. His blood is pioneer blood, and he decides to and his days in the forests of Oregon. Memories of his grandfather and a deep love for all things of the wild help him. CHARLES II—in a large southern oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontman. He makes his home with filas Lennox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill," and daughter, "Snowbird." Their abode is many miles from downtown in the aquarium. The Falling Man to lie down the short span of life which he has been told is his. His extreme weakness in the face of even a slight exertion convinces him that the doctor had made a correct diagnosis of CHAPTER III—From the first Faims health shows a marked improvement, and in the companionship of Lennox and his son and daughter he fits into the woods life as if he had been born to it. By quick thinking and a remarkable display of "nerve" he saves Lennox's life and his own when they are attacked by a mad voyote. Lennox declares he is a reindeer and his grandfather, Dan Falling I, whose fame as a woodman is a household word. BOOK TWO—THE DEBT. CHAPTER I L—Dan, now thoroughly proficient in wooa lore, learns from Lenox that an organized band of outlaws, of which Bert Cranston is the leader, is making trouble in the vicinity. Landry Hildreth, a former member of the gang, has been induced to turn state's evidence. On his way to the city Hildreth is waylaid by Cranston, shot and left, and Cranston, however, shows the fact that Cranston might have documentary evidence on his person, and is satisfied that his enemy will never reach the city to tell what he knows of the operations of the gang. CHAPTER II A—cougar, on a personal hunting expedition, finds Hildreth in a thicket, where he had crawled after being shot by Cranston. The cougar finishes Cranston's work, and in striking down man becomes a forest outlaw. Falling, on his way home from a visit to "snowbird"'g" lookout station, comes upon Cranston in the act of starting a forest fire. The men quarrel and fight. Falling is no match for the sturdy mountaineer and is saved from death only by the salvation of "snowbird"g" who drives outlaw from his victim by threatening him with a revolver. At that instant she had shot for the first time. Because the light had left his eyes before she could find aim, both shots had been clean misses. And terrible as the reports were, he was too engrossed in the chase to be frightened away by mere sound. This was the cry the man-pack always made—these sudden, startling sounds in the silence. But he felt no pain. He crouched a moment, shivering. Then he bounded on again. The third shot was a miss too: in fact, there had been no chance for a hit. A sound in the darkness is as unreliable a target as can possibly be imagined. And it didn't frighten him as much as the others. He waited, crouching, and the girl started on. She was making other sounds now—queer, whimpering sounds not greatly different from the bleat that the fawn utters when it dies. It was a fear sound, and if there is one emotion with which the wild beasts are acquainted, in all its phases, it is fear. She was afraid of him, then, and that meant he need no longer be in the least afraid of her. His skin began to twitch all over with that terrible madness and passion of the flesh-hunters. This game was like the deer, and the thing to do was lie in wait. There was only one trail. He wasn't afraid of losing her in the darkness. She was neither fleet like the deer nor courageous like Woof the bear. He had only to wait and leap from the darkness when she passed. When Dan Failing, riding like mad over the mountain trail, heard the third shot from Snowbird's pistol, he felt that one of the debts he owed had come due at last. He seemed to know, as the darkness pressed around him, that he was to be tried in the fire. And the horse staggered beneath him as he tried to hasten. He showed no mercy to his mount. Horse-flesh isn't made for carrying a heavy man over such a trail as this, and she was red-nostrilled and lathered before half a mile had been covered. He made her leap up the rocks, and on fairly level stretches he loosed the reins and lashed her into a gallop. Only a mountain horse could have stood that test. He gave no thought to his own safety. His courage was at the test, and no risk of his own life must interfere with his attempt to save Snowbird from the danger that threatened her. He didn't know when the horse would fall with him and precipitate him down a precipice, and he was perfectly aware that to crash into a low-hanging limb of one of the great trees beside the trail would probably crush his skull. But he took the chance. And before the ride was done he found himself pleading with the horse, even as he lashed her sides with his whip. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 The lesser forest creatures sprang from his trall; and once the mare leaped high to miss a dark shadow that crossed in front. As she caught her stride, Dan heard a squeal and a rattle of quills that identified the creature as a porcupine. By now he had passed the first of the worst grades, coming out upon a long, easy slope of open forest. Again he urged his horse, leaving to her keen senses alone the chosing of the path between the great tree trunks. Then he heard Snowbird fire for the fourth time; and he knew that he had almost overtaken her. The report seemed to smash the air. And he lashed his horse into the fastest run she knew—a wild, sobbing figure in the darkness. "She's only got one shot more," he said. He knew how many bullets her pistol carried; and the danger—whatever it was—must be just at hand. Underbrush cracked beneath him. And then the horse drew up with a jerk that almost hurled him from the saddle. He lashed at her in vain. She was not afraid in the darkness and the rocks of the trail, but some Terror in the woods in front had in an instant broken his control over her. She reared, snorting; then danced in an impotent circle. Meanwhile, precious seconds were fleeing. He understood now. The horse stood still, shivering beneath him, but would not advance a step. The silence deepened. Somewhere in the darkness before him a great cougar was waiting by the trail, and Snowbird, hoping for the moment that it had given up the chase, was hastening through the shadows squarely into its ambush. Whisperfoot crouched lower; and again his long serpent of a tail began the little vertical motion that always precedes his leap. He had not forgotten the wild rapture of that moment he had inadvertently sprung on Landy Hildreth—or how, after his terror had died, he had come creeping back. He hunted his own way, waiting on the trail; and his madness was at its height. He was not just Whisperfoot the coward, that runs at the shadow of a tall form in the thickets. The consummation was complete, and that single experience of a month before had made of him a hunter of men. His muscles set for the leap. So intent was he that his keen senses didn't detect the fact that there was a curious echo to the girl's footsteps. Dan Falling had slipped down from his terrified horse and was running up the trail behind her, praying that he could be in time. Snowbird heard the pat, pat of his feet; but at first she did not dare to hope that aid had come to her. She had thought of Dan as on the faraway marshes; and her father, the only other living occupant of this part of the Divide, might even now be lying dead in his house. In her terror, she had lost all power of interpretation of events. The sound might be the cougar's mate, or even the wolf pack, jealous of his game. Sobbing, she hurried on into Whisperfoot's ambush. Then she heard a voice, and it seemed to be calling to her. "Snowbird—I'm coming, Snowbird," a man's strong voice was shouting. She whirled with a sob of thankfulness. At that instant the cougar sprang. Terrified though she was, Snowbird's reflexes had kept sure and true. Even as the great cat leaped, a long, lithe shadow out of the shadow, her finger pressed back against the trigger of her pistol. She had been carrying her gun in front of her, and she fired it, this last time, with no conscious effort. It was just a last instinctive effort to defend herself. One other element affected the issue. She had whirled to answer Dan's cry just as the cougar left the ground. But she had still been in range. The only effect was to lessen, in some degree, the accuracy of the spring. The bullet caught the beast in mid-air; but even if it had reached its heart, the momentum of the attack was too great to be completely overcome. Snowbird only knew that some vast, resistible power had struck her, and that the darkness seemed to roar and explode about her. Hurled to her face in the trail, she did not see the cougar sprawl on the earth beside her. The flame in the lantern almost flicked out as it fell from her hand, then flashed up and down, from the deepest gloom to a vivid glare with something of the effect of lightning flickering in the sky. Nor did she hear the first frenzied thrashing of the wounded animal. Kindly unconsciousness had fallen, obscuring this and also the sight of the great cat, in the agony of its wound, creeping with broken shoulder and bared claws across the pine needles toward her defenseless body. But the terrible fangs were never to know her white flesh. Some one had come between. There was no chance to shoot: Whisperfoot and the girl were too near together for that. But one course remained; and there was not even time to count the cost. In this most terrible moment of Dan Falling's life, there was not even an instant's hesitation. He did not know that Whisperfoot was wounded. He saw the beast creeping forward in the weird dancing light of the fallen lantern, and he only knew that his flesh, not hers, must resist its rending talons. Nothing else mattered. No other consideration could come between. It was the test; and Dan's instincts prompted coolly and well. He leaped with all his strength. The cougar bounded into his arms, not upon the prone body of the girl. And she opened her eyes to hear a curious thrash- J. A Strange, Grim Battle. gun knocked from his hands as he met the cougar's leap, with his own unaided arms kept the life-giving breath from the animal's lungs and killed him in the pine needles. Claw and fang and the frenzy of death could not matter at all. Thus Falling established before all men his right to the name he bore. And thus he paid one of his debts—life for a life, as the code of the forest has always decreed—and in the fire of danger and pain his metal was tried and proven. The Lennox home, in the wilderness of the Umpqua Divide, looked rather like an emergency hospital for the first few days after Dan's fight with Whisperfoot. Its old sounds of laughter and talk were almost entirely lacking. Two injured men and a girl recovering from a nervous collapse do not tend toward cheer. But the natural sturdiness of all three quickly came to their aid. Of course Lennox had been severely injured by the falling log, and many weeks would pass before he would be able to walk again. He could sit up for short periods, however; had the partial use of one arm; and could propel himself—after the first few weeks—at a small's pace through the rooms in a rude wheel chair that Bill's ingenuity had contrived. The great livid scratches that Dan bore on his body quickly began to heal; and before a week was done he began to venture forth on the hills again. Snowbird had remained in bed for three days; then she had hopped out one bright afternoon, swearing never to go back into it again. Evidently the crisp, fall air of the mountains had been a nerve tonic for them all. Of course there had been medical attention. A doctor and a nurse had motored up the day after the accident; the physician had set the bones and departed, and the nurse remained for a week, to see the grizzled mountaineer well on the way of convalescence. But it was an anxious wait, and Lennox's car was kept constantly in readiness to speed her away in case the snows should start. At last she had left him in Snowbird's hands, and Bill had driven her back to the settlements in his father's car. The die was now cast as to whether or not Dan and the remainder of the family should winter in the mountain. The snow clouds deepened every day, the frost was ever heavier in the dawns, and the road would surely remain open only a few days more. Once more the three seemingly had the Divide all to themselves. Bert Cranston had evidently deserted his cabin and was working a trap-line on the Umpqua side. The rangers left the little station, all danger of fire past, and went down to their offices in the federal building of one of the little cities below. Because he was worse than useless in the deep snows that were sure to come, one of the ranch hands that had driven up with Bill rode away to the valleys the last of the live stock—the horse that Dan had ridden to Snowbird's defense. Nothing had been heard of Landy Hildreth, who used to live on the trail to the marsh, and both Lennox and his daughter wondered why. There were also certain officials who had begun to be curious. As yet, Dan had told no one of the grim find he had made on his return from hunting. And he would have found it an extremely difficult fact to explain. It all went back to those inner springs of motive that few men can see clearly enough within themselves to recognize. Even the first day, when he lay burning from his wounds, he worked out his own explanation in regard to the murder mystery. He didn't the slightest doubt but that Cranston had killed Hildreth to prevent his testimony from reaching the courts below. Of course, any other member of the arson ring of hillmen might have been the murderer; yet Dan was inclined to believe that Cransten, the leader of the gang, usually preferred to do such dangerous work as this himself. If it were true, somehow or that tree-clad ridge cla would be off. Moreover, it was wholly possible that the written testimony Hildreth must have gathered had never been found or destroyed. Dan didn't want the aid of the courts to find these clues. He wanted to work out the case himself. It resolved itself into a simple matter of vengeance: Dan had his debt to pay, and he wanted to bring Cranston to ruin by his own hand alone. While it was true that he took rather more than the casual interest that most citizens feel in the destruction of the forest by wanton fire, and had an actual sense of duty to do all that he could to stop the activities of the arson ring, his motives, stripped and bare, were really not utilitarian. He had no particular interest in Hildreth's case. He remembered him simply as one of Cranston's disreputable gang, a poacher and a fire bug himself. When all is said and done, it remained really a personal issue between Dan and Cranston. And personal issues are frowned upon by law and society. Civilization has toled up from the darkness in a great measure to get away from them. But human nature remains distressingly the same, and Dan's desire to pay his debt was a distinctly human emotion. Sometimes a breed will live upon the earth that can get clear away from personal vengeance—from that age-old code of the hills that demands a blow for a blow and a life for a life—but the time is not yet. And after all, by all the standards of men as men, not as read in idealistic philosophies, Dan's debt was entirely real. By the light held high by his ancestors, he could not turn his other cheek. Just as soon as he was able he went back to the scene of the murder. He didn't know when the snow would come to cover what evidence there was. It threatened every hour. Every wind promised it. The air was sharp and cold, and no drop of rain could fall through it without crystallizing into snow. The deer had all gone and the burrowing people had sought their holes. The bees worked no more in the winter flowers. Of all the greater forest creatures only the wolves and the bear remained—the former because their fear of men would not permit them to go down to the lower hills, and the latter because of his knowledge that when food became scarce he could always burrow in the snow. No bear goes into hibernation from choice. Wise old bachelor, he much prefers to keep just as late hours as he can—as long as the eating places in the berry thickets remain open. The cougars had all gone down with the deer, the migratory birds had departed, and even the squirrels were in hiding. The scene didn't offer much in the way of clues. Of the body itself only a white heap of bones remained, for many and terrible had been the agents at work upon them. The clothes, however, particularly the coat, were practically intact. Gripping himself, Dan thrust his fingers into its pockets, then into the pockets of the shirt and trousers. All paper that would in any way serve to identify the murdered man, or tell what his purpose had been in journeying down the trail the night of the murder had been removed. Only one explanation presented itself. Cranston had come before him and searched the body himself. Dan looked about for tracks, and he was considerably surprised to find the blurred, indistinct imprint of a shoe other than his own. He hadn't the least hope that the tracks themselves would offer a clue to a detective. They were too dim for that. The surprising fact was that since the murder had been committed immediately before the fall rains, the water had not completely washed them out. The only possibility remaining was that Cranston had returned to the body after the week's rainfall. The track had been dimmed by the lighter rains that had fallen since. But yet it was entirely to be expected that the examination of the body would be an afterthought on Cranston's part. Possibly at first his only thought was to kill and, following the prompting that has sent so many murderers to the gallows, he had afterward returned to the scene of the crime to destroy any clues he might have left and to search the body for any evidence against the arson ring. Dan's next thought was to follow along the trail and find Cranston's ambush. Of course it would be in the direction of the settlement from the body, as the bullet had entered from the front. He found it hard to believe that Hildreth had fallen in the exact spot where the body lay. Men journeying at night keep to the trail, and the white heap itself was fully forty feet back from the trail in the thickets. Perhaps Cranston had dragged it there to hide it from the sight of anyone who might pass along the lonely trail again; and it was a remote possibility that Whisperfoot, coming in the night, had tugged it into the thickets for dreadful purposes of his own. Likely the shot was fired when Hildreth was in an open place on the trail; and Dan searched for the ambush with this conclusion in mind. He walked back, looking for a thicket from which such a spot would be visible. Something over fifty yards down he found it; and he knew it by the empty brass rifle cartridge that lay half buried in the wet leaves. The shell was of the same caliber as Cranston's rifle. Dan's hand shook as he put it in his pocket. Encouraged by this amazing find, he turned up the trail toward Hildreth's cabin. It might be possible, he thought, that Hildreth had left some of his testimony—perhaps such rudely scrawled letters as Cranston had written him—in some forgotten drawer in his hut. It was but a short walk for Dan's hardened legs, and he made it before midafternoon. The search itself was wholly without result. But because he had time to think as he climbed the ridge, because as he strode along beneath that wintry sky he had a chance to consider every detail of the case, he was able to start out on a new tack when, just before sunset, he returned to the body. This new train of thought had as its basis that Cranston's shot had not been deadly at once; that, wounded, Hildreth had himself crawled into the thickets where Whisperfoot had found him. And that meant that he had to enlarge his search for such documents as Hildreth had carried to include all the territory between the trail and the location of the body. It was possibly a distance of forty feet, and getting down on his hands and knees. Dan looked for any break in the shrubbery that would indicate the path that the wounded Hildreth had taken. And it was ten minutes well rewarded, as far as clearing up certain details of the crime. His senses had been trained and sharpened by his months in the wilderness, and he was able to back-track the wounded man from the skeleton clear to the clearing on the trail where he had first fallen. But as no clues presented themselves, he started to turn home. He walked twelve feet, then turned back. Out of the corner of his eye it seemed to him that he had caught a flash of white, near the end of a great, dead log beside the path that the wounded Hildreth had taken. For a moment he searched in vain. Evidently a yellow leaf had decelled him. Once more he retraced his steps, trying to find the position from which his eye had caught the glimpse of white. Then he dived straight for the rotten end of the log. Into a little hollow in the bark, on the underside of the log, some hand had thrust a small roll of papers. They were rain-soaked now, and the ink had dimmed and blotted; but Dan realized their significance. They were the complete evidence that Hildreth had accumulated against the arson ring—letters that had passed back and forth between himself and Cranston, a threat of murder from the former if Hildreth turned state's evidence, and a signed statement of the arson activities of the ring by Hildreth himself. They were not only enough to break up the ring and send its members to prison; with the aid of the empty shell and other circumstantial evidence, they could in all probability convict Bert Cranston of murder. For a long time he stood with the shadows of the pines lengthening about him, his gray eyes in curious shadow. For the moment a glimpse was given him into the deep wells of the human soul; and understanding came to him. Was there no balm for hatred even in the moment of death? Were men unable to forget the themes and motives of their lives, even when the shadows closed down upon them? Hildreth had known what hand had struck him down. And even on the frontier of death, his first thought was to hide his evidence where, Cranston could not find it when he searched the body, but where later it might be found by the detectives that were sure to come. It was the old creed of a life for a life. He wanted his evidence to be preserved—not that right should be wronged, but so that Cranston would be prosecuted and convicted and made to suffer. His hatred of Cranston that had made him turn state's evidence in the first place had been carried with him down into death. As Dan stood wondering, he thought he heard a twig crack on the trail behind him, and he wondered what forest creature was still lingering on the ridges at the eve of the snows. The snow began to fall in earnest at midnight—great, white flakes that almost in an instant covered the leaves.

The wolf pack sang to it from the ridge—a wild and plaintive song that made Bert Cranston, sleeping in a lean-to on the Umpqua side of the Divide, swear and mutter in his sleep. But he didn't really waken until Jim Gibba, one of his gang, returned from his secret mission. They wasted no words. Bert flung aside the blankets, lighted a candle and placed it out of the reach of the night wind. His face looked swarthy and deep-lined in its light. "Well?" he demanded. "What did you find?" "Nothin'," Jim Gibbs answered gutterally. "If you ask me what I found, I might have somethin' to answer." "Then—" and Bert, after the manner of his kind, breathed an oath—"What did you find out?" His tone, except for an added note of savagery, remained the same. Yet his heart was thumping a great deal louder than he liked to have it. Realizing that the snows were at hand, he had sent Gibbs for a last search of the body, to find and recover the evidence that Hildreth had against him and which had not been revealed either on Hildreth's person or in his cabin. He had become increasingly apprehensive about those letters he had written Hildreth, and certain other documents that had been in his possession. He didn't understand why they hadn't turned up. And now the snows had started, and Jim Gibbs had returned empty-handed, but evidently not empty-minded. "I've found that the body's been uncovered—and men are already searchin' for clues. And moreover—I think they've found them." He paused, weighing the effect of his words. His eyes glittered with cunning. Rat that he was, he was wondering whether the time had arrived to leave the ship. He had no intention of continuing to give his services to a man with a rope-noose closing about him. And Cranston, knowing this fact, hated him as he hated the buzzard that would claim him in the end, and tried to hide his apprehension. "Go on. Blat it out," Cranston ordered. "Or else go away and let me "seep." it was a bluff; but it worked. If Gibbs had gone without speaking, Cranston would have known no sleep that night. But the man became more fawning.

It is the aim of economics to explain the phenomena of business. It sets forth the laws governing prices, values, wages, rent and interest. The home is ever face to face with the law governing prices of the various articles consumed and used in the home. Therefore, to better manage the home and get a full dollar's value for every dollar spent, it is very important to watch the prices you are asked to pay for food because the prices vary more in that line than as to all the other articles for the home. We have noticed such a divergence in the prices asked by various Washington merchants that it has caused us to give no little thought to the matter. On Wednesday of this week we found bread selling from six cents to ten for a pound loaf—a difference of 4 cents per loaf. Lard was selling from 14 to 20 cents per pound for the best brands—a difference of 6 cents. Potatoes from 3 to 5 cents per pound, and on down thru the list of groceries, there is a difference of 1 cent to 10 cents per pound for the same article. We find the greatest difference prevailing at the little corner stores. Persons who are patrons of the small stores should consider the enormous amount they are spending above the prevailing price at a store a few blocks away. Four per cent is all the interest the banks pay for a dollar on time deposit for a whole year. Often one can save more than 4 cents on a 25 cent purchase. There is as much thrift exercised in the purchasing of food economically as in placing a dollar in a savings bank for 4 per cent per annum. Therefore, The Tribune would warn all householders to be more particular about the prices they pay for food.

In these troublesome times of international balances, when the finances of the world are in a chaotic condition, America finds herself "hard put" to find a remedy that will restore confidence to the business world. The hue and cry of the distressed industries for relief has been nation wide. Politicians, quick to sense the condition of affairs, tossed into the political arena "the football of politics"—the tariff. The campaign of 1920 hinged not so much upon the League of Nations issue as upon the high cost of living. Republican campaign managers preached the doctrine of a protective policy. The Democratic managers sang their doxology of tariff for revenue only. Upon these issues they sallied forth to do battle. Today the Republican party is charged with the redemption of its pledge of tariff revision for the preservation of the home market for American labor, agriculture and industry. A brief comparison of the principles embodied in the economic thought of the two great parties will furnish an interesting study. The protective policy of the Republican party, was devised to enable the home manufacturer to hold the home market against foreign products manufactured with cheaper labor. This principle of protection curtails competitive imports and compels fair competition in our home markets. Free trade, or a low tariff for revenue only, inevitably leads to a reduction of the cost of production, and consequently a lower wage scale. It was upon this theory of tariff for revenue only that the Democrats framed the tariff law of 1913. Witness the result. This law is known as the Underwood tariff law. Except for a short period it has operated under abnormal conditions. Europe, suddenly plunged into the greatest war of all times, eagerly sought American products and produce. Because of this reason our exports were increased, imports curtailed. and we became the great market of the world. With the resumption of international trade, other nations have begun to vie with us in the matter of production. The result being that our home markets are now flooded with foreign products, made by a cheaper labor. The wage earner is now confronted with a condition somewhat new to him. Wages are being reduced. Discontent stalks abroad in the land slowly shaping itself into a force to be reckoned with. In the parlance of the street, the Republicans are charged with "some job." While the restoration of the protective principle may not be the panacea for all industrial ills, it will at least protect the home markets from foreign competition, and bring confidence back again to its proper level. Let us hope that the Republican party will avoid the pit-falls contained in the Payne-Aldrich tariff, and give to the country a law that will protect American industries and Agriculture.

Christmas then told of riding around the race track in Virginia and starting to leave, but returned to obtain something he had forgotten. This was the day previous to the shooting. When he returned, he testified Shelley came up to him asking if he had permission to ride the horse following it up by hitting him with his fist. "He told me to shut up, or he would hit me again and I replied that I wouldn't, even if I had a rope around my neck." He then stated that Shelly obtained a pitchfork the purpose of which Christmas thought was to again assault him, so he mounted the horse and rode away. Col. Reed then asked Christmas to THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921 give the details of the facts leading up to the shooting the next day,Monday, May 16th. The witness said he was in front of the stables when Col. Shelley came up and he asked permission to speak to him (Col. Shelley). With an oath, the witness continued, Shelley struck him with the loaded end of a riding crop. statement made by the tried to prove that the memorized his testimony in his effort. The defi- tion to show that the testim- and prejudiced because alleged to have purchase the witness. Over the counsel clashed. After being hit with the crop, he tried to defend himself and he and Shelley clinched. Breaking the clinch, Shelley, he stated, stepped aside and said he was going to kill him and at the same time began unbuttoning his pocket. Christmas further testified he rushed in and tried to get the gun, but Shelley was too quick for him and fired the shot before he could reach him. He stated that he did not see a pistol until after the fight had started. When asked as to why he wanted to speak to Shelley, he stated he wanted to ask him only if he felt he had treated him as a gentleman should treat another. Here the prosecution rested. Cross Examined by Defense Christmas was then cross-examined by Easby-Smith who tried to attack the credibility of the witness. He brought out the point that Christmas had been convicted of rape in Atlantic City, N. J. On this point the defense did not bring out all the facts which the Tribune's representative later found to be as follows: During a trip to Atlantic City to escort some horses, young Christmas who was then less than 16 years of age, had an intercourse with a young girl of 14. Upon learning of the incident, the girl's parents had warrants sworn out for Christmas' arrest, who had then returned to Washington. Upon being notified by the authorities here, Christmas' father accompanied him to Atlantic City and secured counsel for his defense. After submitting the proper evidence, young Christmas was then released, although in the absence of this evidence at the trial he had been convicted. The reason he was charged with assault was that under the New Jersey law if any one is arrested on the charge of having intercourse with a woman or girl, he is automatically charged with rape. The defense also tried to show that Christmas had a bad police record. Here the counsel and the judge advocate clashed on the defense counsel's method of framing questions. The witness denied he had walked toward Shelley in a threatening manner, but admitted that he had cursed him after the colonel had struck him. He also denied that he had made threats. Shelley when he came on the stand corroborated this part of Christmas' testimony that Christmas did not raise his hands when he (Christmas) turned towards him. Christmas, continuing answers on cross-examination, reiterated that he did not strike the colonel until after the two had clinched. Attorney Easby-Smith sought to get Christmas' purpose of being on the sidewalk instead of inside the stables at work. Witness' direct testimony that he was after saddle soap was not shaken on cross-examination. Witness failed to identify the riding crop for the court as the one used by Col. Shelley, as charged. The next witness called was Mr. Lewis McHenry who is a hostler at the remount service stables in Virginia. Edwin Humphrey, also an employee at the Virginia stables was next called. Then the prosecution called private John Currie, U. S. A., who was detailed at the horseshow grounds. He was the first white witness. He testified that when Shelley grabbed a pitchfork he prevented him from using it. Lieut. Col. H. C. Bonnycastle was the first witness called during the afternon session Monday. He is in charge of the quartermaster stables. He testified that Shelley had nothing to do with the quartermaster stables. John Johnson, superintendent of the stables was next called to the stand. He was one fo the two eye witnesses of the fight, and testified he heard Shelley tell Christmas he would kill him. Johnson also testified that when Sergt. Wiley attempted to take the gun from Col. Shelley after he had shot Christmas, that Shelley turned on him and said he would shoot him (Wylie) too. He demonstrated to the court how Shelley was working with the gun, apparently trying to ease the jam. Sergt. Wylie who was also an eye witness, took, the stand and testified that after Shelley left Supt. Johnson's office he went to the window of the office and watched him. The colonel went to his car which was at the curbing, when Christmas went toward him and asked permission to speak, Shelley the witness declared replied that he did not want to talk to Christmas but walked toward him. He said the defendant struck Christmas with the riding crop. He also told of Shelley saying that he would kill Christmas. On the cross examination the defense had the witness to go over his story again and then read a prepared statement made by the witness and tried to prove that the witness had memorized his testimony but failed in his effort. The defense then tried to show that the testimony was biased and prejudiced because Christmas is alleged to have purchased whiskey for the witness. Over this question the counsel clashed. Lieut. McCreery was called and identified the pistol as the one Shelley gave him after the shooting. Other witnesses called were Col. A. E. Williams, William Miller, chauffeur for the President whose testimony had great weight for the prosecution, John Lewis and Dr. David Erlinger of the Hospital Staff. When the trial opened Tuesday morning, Sergt. Joseph C. Morgan of the local police department was the first witness. He was examined by Col. Reed on the arrest of Shelley. He was asked to be kept in the vicinity by the defense. John K. McGann a Times reporter who was detailed to get an interview with Shelley and get the officer's view of the shooting, testified that Col. Shelley told him that if the gun had not jammed he would have filled Christmas full of lead. An attempt by the defense to contradict the reporter's testimony by a cross examination was made; the reporter however stuck to his testimony on the cross examination. Here the prosecution rested. Defense Opens After stating what they would try to prove, the defense offered a deposition of Donald C. McCoriston. After numerous objections to may parts of it, the law member of the court ruled that the whole deposition should be accepted and it was so ordered by the president of the court. The defense then called Maj. C. Dulin, of the Medical Corps who attended Shelley the day following the shooting. Next was called James K. McKeown, a guard in the government building northeast of the scene of the shooting. He was greatly tied up on the cross examination by Col. Reed. After three other witness had been called by the defense, their star witness King Polk, formerly of the Signal Corps who at the time of the crime was across the street, was called and testified. On the cross examination by Col. Reed he admitted he was not sure about much of his testimony. He testified that Christmas accosted the colonel before he entered the stable office. This was in conflict with all previous testimony, which was to the effect that the colonel was accosted after he had visited the offices. Private Edw. S. Johnson, and Sergt. Horydezak also testified. Private Helpless got his testimony greatly mixed with the testimony given in the hearing before Col. Hunt. Shelley took the stand Wednesday morning in his own behalf and gave a detailed statement of his actions on Sunday, May 15 and Monday, May 16. He tried to show the court that he had authority on the show grounds and that he armed himself the next day because he feared Christmas. His testimony in a great many instances showed that he had been well drilled by his attorney. The arguments began Wednesday evening. The prosecution read its summary and quoted much testimony that had been submitted. Col. Reed consumed a little more than five minutes with his arguments. Easby-Smith began his arguments and tried to break down the prosecution's case and judging from the verdict given out later, he evidently succeeded. The prosecution offered no rebuttal argument and the case closed. The case was the first one to be held in Washington under the new ruling where the court can make its decision immediately after it reaches a decision. The case created considerable comment in the light of the verdict given out. The public asked for permission to have an attorney assist in the prosecution but the Government denied them this right or privilege. The case will now go to the Judge Advocate for review and then will go to the President for a final review.
