address to the colored citizens deliv-
cred here last night Booker Washing

our people in every part Of the country
to disappoint those who have made
such predictions by leading a life of

must be worked out and We can only
succeed when We have the confidence
and cooperation of those about u.s."

try had been "resigning" him for the
past two years. For at least one year,
however, 1t has been definitely known
that Mr.. Ware would retire from his
Office soon after the fall elections and
return to his home in Kansas to re-
sumo his law practice. 1t is believed
here that Commissioner Wares action
was not due to any suggestion that the
severance of his relations with the
pension Office would be agreeable to the
president. On the contrary 1t has been
no secret that Commissioner Ware
soon after assuming his duties found
them distasteful to him and that this
distaste steadily increased.

That no more disasters at sea re-
