COLOR NO BAR TO JOB
IN GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Complaint From Portsmouth, N. II.
Explained at
Bureau.

According to a report from Portsmouth,
n. H., a young man appointed to the
geological survey has been refused a posi-
ton on account Of his color. The ap-
pointee in question is Dwight +. Reed.
the son Of q letter carrier At Portsmouth.
He was graduated from the local high
school and attended Dartmouth College
for four years. He worked As an en-
gineer's assistant during the summers
and was recently given a position with
the geological survey.
Reed claims that when he reported to a
party headed by Hershey Monroe
he was told there was no work for him
He said that this was on account OF the
fact that he was a colored man.
Inquiry at the geological survey today
showed that the Reed case is known there,
though 1t was not taken seriously. George
Otis Smith. the director of the survey, is
away from Washington. but his Sec
rotary. Guy Mitchell, said:
II know something about the case, as
Reed has written the ONCE. and i have
handled some of the correspondence. As
q matter OF fact the failure to employ
him was based entirely on his inability to
perform the work. I am sorry it hap
pened that he was a colored man. as that
fact at once raises the suspicion that he
might have been barred because of his
race. But understand that he was eX-
amined and it was found that his prac-
teal experience was not sufficient for the
pened before with appointees from the
civil service rolls, for field work and ex-
aminations in the Office are two different
things"

MACH|N|STS INJURED IN
OVERTURNED TAX|CAb
Car Skids on the Livingston
Road and SmaShes Into an
Electric Light Pole.

Two men seriously injured. taxicab
partly demolished and an electric light
lamp put out Of commission resulted from
the skidding of a horseless vehicle be-
longing to the Federal Taxicab Company
on the Livingston road beyond Congress
Heights this morning about 1880 o'clock.
George L. Hayes of 1902 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest and Robert Cole, who
resides at 1909 c street southwest, are
the injured men,. They are machinists in
the employ OF the Federal Taxicab Com
pany. and were on their way TO repair a
vehicle on the Livingston road when
the accident happened.
Both are in Providence Hospital under
treatment Hayes sustained a fracture OF
his skull. while Cole was injured about
his eye and head. Neither lost conscious
ness. DR.. E. n. Meloy OF Congress
Heights administered first-aid treatment.
AT that time Cole seemed to be the more
seriously injured OF the two. II was MOI
until some time after Hayes reached
Providence Hospital that he displayed
symptoms OF the serious injury TO his
skull. Both were sent TO a ward after
their injuries had been dressed.
Tries to Prevent Collision.
The accident resulted from an effort
made by Edward c. Vermillion, chauffeur,
TO prevent a collision with a horse and
buggy, the car skidding, striking rut
and overturning against the electric light
pole Trouble had developed with a taxi
cab that was returning from trip into
Maryland, and the two machinists were
within 100 feet OF the disabled vehicle
when the serious accident happened.
The car was moving south along the
Livingston road and the horse and buggy
were moving in the direction Of this city.
Vermillion feared there was not room for
him to pass the horse and buggy near the
middle OF the road, and realized only a
quick turn 10 one side would prevent a
collision. He made the turn, and the
snash-up followed.
1t is stated that two boys were hanging
to the rear of the vehicle when the acct
dent happened. but they escaped injury
and disappeared.
David Mackie. jr.. cashier OF the Fed
eral Taxicab Company. hurried to the
scene In an automobile. The injured men
were placed in the automobile and hur-
r!ed to the hospital. This afternoon the
damaged car was removed from the road
and taken to the shop OF the company.

cept about 200 rounds That difference
he declared, might have resulted from

returns to be morally correct, although
automatically wrong.

Shortly before the noon recess Capt
Lyon finished his direct testimony and
his cross-examination was begun by
Capt. Rowland, judge advocate. The
latter entered into a reviewing of the
ammunition records left by Capt. Lyon,
