BULLS HOPES DASHED
AND MONEY PAID IN VAIN
Negro Porter Wanted Immediate Ap-
pointment as Detective.

Frank T. Bull was much disap-
pointed man last night. Bull is a negro
porter on the Southern Railway, but he
is ambitious. Last night he appeared at
Police Headquarters, produced highly
embeIlished document, and asked an i'm
mediate assignment as a detective The
document, which he evidently priced
very highly, was a certificate of gradua-
tion from a detective school," of In
dianapolis. and stated that he was COM
petent to fill the position of detective
on any metropolitan police force.
Bull had secured this valuable docu-
ment. and the course OF instructions
which preceded it, for the small sum OF
81. thereby escaping more easily than
did Sprigg NJ. Hebron, recently arrested
for grand larceny by Detectives Flather
and McNamee. and whose certificates
cost him no less than s72. Bull left for
his train, a sadder and wiser man.

CITY LIFE PROVES FATAL
TO THE NEGRO RACE
Commissioner Wright Issues Bulletin
on the Subject.

That the migration of negroes to
cities is fatal to the race is shown in
bulletin issued by Commissioner of
Labor Wright. of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. The bulletin is
the result of study of the negro 2opu-
latton of Xenia, Ohio. which is taken as
representative Northern town, md Of
Farmville, Va. a representative South
ern town
In each case the negro population has
remained unchanged in ten years. so far
as births and deaths are concerned.
The increase has come from the move
ment of negroes from the country into
the towns.
In each case the increase of the whites
mas been 20 per cent. The study also
shows that despite the laws and the
sentiment against them, marriages be-
tween blacks and whites are still being
contracted A peculiar fact is tnat
more white women are marrying negro
men than vice versa. In all cases the
partieE to such marriages are low In
the social scale. The percentage OF
births resulting from such marriages is
also low.

BATHING BEACH NOW
A FAVORED RESORT
Eight Thousand Persons Reported
as Swimming There on Sunday.

The hot weather OF the last few days
has resulted In great patronage OF the
bathing beach at the tidal basin. Sun
day Custodian Brooks reported no less
than 5000 bathers, and while week days
do not. as a rule, approach Sunday in
the matter of attendance. the excessive
temperature has kept the number Up 10
about the same figure.
People of all ages and both sexes,
from four-year-old tots to the gray
headed grandfather, take advantage of
the Districts provision for the comfort
and sport of its citizens. Many are
learning TO swim. and the life guards
are kept busy. Yesterday Life Guards
Sarkelle and Ransom pulled no less than
a dozen from the water. who had gone
beyond their depth and were becoming
exhausted. Head Life Guard Frank
White is laid UP with a sprained shOul-
der. This careful watching is respon-
sible for the fact that there have been
no fatalities, or even close calls, during
the season.
Swimming is not the only sport IN
dulged in freely at the beach. The boat
house is equally popular, and boats are
hired from early morning until late at
night. Sometimes it is for the pleasure
of rowing. again a party of good swim
mers wish to get out in deep water, and
still others hire them for fishing pur-
poses.
Superintendent William X. stevens an
nounces that there will be no races this
| year. No one regrets more than he the
necessity of dispensing with the annual
tournament, but he declares that the
most strenuous efforts have failed to get
the basin entirely cleared of grass, ard
| therefore such sport would be neither
/ fair nor safe.
