Of a negro pastor who was having
some difficulty with his flock.
''The old fellow came to me and
asked me to help him out" said Mr..
Washington. Il went down to the lit
tie backwoods country church with
him one Sunday. Incidentally I took
occasion to inquire among the parish
toner's little and found that they had
not paid the old man his salary:
upon this basis of information I
started in to admonish the members
Of the congregation. l told them that
they should pay their pastor; that he
had to live; that he had to have his
salary.
"All In all, was making pretty
good speech. had most Of the con-
gregation convinced. I think.
"But there was one old fellow in
the back Of the church that was num-
er little and duck his eyes below the
old soft hat he held up to his face. We
amt goin' to pay i'm any more salary
this year.
1.-THE old fellow became so obstrep-
erous that demonstrated with him.
Brother, why are you not going to
pay your pastor any more salary this
year.? I asked him.
"'Because we done paid him for
them same sermons last var was the
decisive response"

District Attorney George Clark, and
has appeared as a witness for the
prosecution before the Federal Grand
Jury at several sessions.
While Attorney Duncan admits that
his trip to the Hawaiian islands was
mainly of an official character, he re-
fuses to discuss the details of his in
syestigations. 1t is understood, how
ever, that he has gathered important
evidence of rate cutting between this
country and the islands, and that the
evidence will be submitted to a Fed
eral Grand Jury in the near future.
Attorney Duncan said last night that
he would be in conference with United
States District Attorney Devlin today,
and that his official business wolS1 de-
tain him in the city for several days.
There are several cases pending here
now in which Duncan is interested,
and it is said that his Investigations
in the islands will lead to new cases.
