COMMITTEE FINDS
CHARGE BASELESS

timony shows that your general score
tary Is n man of kind, sympathetic dis
position and impressed with deep
sense of responsibility for the hayward
and the unfortunato; that he is In
clined to err, IL at all, on the side Of
lenlcncy. and that his treatment of
those who come under his care is most
humane and uplifting. This might be
no great virtue IL HIS work were con-
fined to sane and honest dependents.
But one occupying the position which
Mr.. Buchanan holds is constantly deal
ing with abnormal types of humanity.
with the eccentric, the degenerate, the
depraved, the criminal--and 1t would
not be strange II in his intercourse
with such difficult characters he should
sometimes lose patience or even resort
to violence. But there is no reliable
evidence that Mr.. Buchanan, under
whatever provocation. has ever lost
his self-control or behaved unseemly.
No Prctext for ChnrEc.
S. Improper conduct. There Is abso-
lutely nothing in this charge. The
only pretext for 1t was the incredible
statement of a poor girl, confessedly
immoral, mentally deficient and shown
to be unworthy OF belief on oath. over
against this stands the, solid testimony
of reputable people. who have had
every opportunity to observe Mr.. Buch-
anan's manner of life under all circum-
stances for years past. These tell of
his purity in thought, word and deed,
of his clrcumspection and of his high
sense of honor. Then, too. we have the
minister's own statement, weighty and
convincing. that the story is false.
Without unduly prolonging this re-
port, your committee Is satisfied that
the charges in question are totally de-
void of merit; that the conduct of Mr..
Buchanan has been above reproach. and
that the work of this association is ad-
ministered not only honestly, but ac-
cording to methods best approved by
modern sociology. We feel justified by
the evidence In saying that. SO far from
being condemned, your general secre-
tary deserves unqualified praise and
should have the thanks of the whole
community for what he has accom-
plished along the lines Of constructive
charity
The Associated Charities is an insti-
tuition of which Richmond may we'll be
proud. Nothing but a better under
standing of it's work Is needed to In
sure the sympathy and cooperation of
the public. So, while deprecating the
circumstances which brought about the
appointment of this committee, we hope
and believe that its much advertised in
vestigation and the findings herein an
nounced will serve to strengthen the
cause as it could have been in no other
way.
The thanks of your board are due
to Hill Montague for assisting US in
the examination of witnesses. as also
to DR.. Mastin and Jeffry Montague. who
kindly consented to sit with the COM
mittee in an advisory capacity. stem
ographic report of the testimony, taken
by John G. Winston, is returned here
with His fee will be paid by members
of the board.

QUIET ELEC ION

Voting in Tuesdays general election
in Richmond will be perfunctory af-
fair, except In Washington Ward,
where the presence of independenr
names on the official ticket will make
the contest one of more than ordinary
interest.
1t is. of course, always possible that
the friends Of some citizen may organ
ize ward for him and have his name
written on the tickets. but nothing Of
the kind has as yet developed, and In
all human probability the Democratic
nominees will be elected without oppo-
sition and with light vote.
Under the provisions of the Byrd
liquor law. mo ardent spirits shall be
sold between the hours of post meri-
dian the day before any election and
the hour of 6 ante meridian on the
day succeeding such election day"
Except this feature, which requires
the closing of thirst parlors from 6
O'clock Monday afternoon until 6
O'Clock Wednesday morning, one will
hardly know that an election is in
progress in the capital city of the
State, 1T should be noted that the s
O'Clock hour applies, and not sunrise
and sunset, as has been published.

HUBBARD DEFENDS

terest in Wright Murder
Case.

In the petition of the attorneys for
w. Dallas Wright for writ of error
in the Supreme Court. the statement
was made. as told in The Times-Dis-
patch yesterday, that Buckingham
county had been moved from one iu-
dicial circuit to another by the Legis-
iature while the Wright case was
pending. 1t was further said that Sem
ator sands Gayle, a member of one of
the bodies which passed the bill. was
a member Of the law firm engaged to
prosecute the Wright case.

Attorney of Buckingham, who was in

The ntimation in the petition in the

truth. state this upon my personal
responsibility.
II will further say that Judge Humid

Judge in the State, pure and incorrup-

II desire to further state that the
assertion that the law firm of Hubbard
