Special CORES pond ence THE APPEAL
Washington, Sept. 4-The statement
recently given out that there is friction
in the office of the Register of the
Treasury is absolutely false The
representative OF THE APPEAL called
on Register Vernon who said:
Il wish to brand as absolutely untrue
the statement that there is a clash in
my office, between Assistant Register
Adams and myself. II had known Mr..
Adams for many years prior to my APP
poinfment. as Register and it was with
great satisfaction that 1 entered upon
my duties with the knowledge that I
would have the valuable assistance Of
Mr.. Adams who is thoroughly acGuaint-
ed with all the details of the office
Mr.. Adams who is d hard and consci-
entious worker has attended strictly to
his duties. The story that he has
treated me with discourtesy is wholly
without foundation. 4 Mr.. Adams is a
gentleman and he has always treated
me as a gentleman. & There is no fric-
ton whatever between the Register
and the Assistant Register"
THE APPEAL representative called
at the Treasury but could not find Mr.
Adams as he had not returned from
Atlanta where he went to attend the
meeting of the National Negro Bust
ness League Of which he is an officer.
