FIREBUG MUST SERVE TERM
SUPREME Court Rcfuses Writ Of Error
TO y. Wesley Hanks,

j.. Wesley Banks. the Elizabeth City
County negro tirebpg. will have to serve
the term OF eight years In the peniten-
tiary. to which he was sentenced by
Judge Robinson In the Circuit Court of
Elizabeth City County. The Supreme
Court OF Appeals yesterday refused to
award a writ OF error and supersedeas
for which the negroes counsel pc
titioned.
The crime for which Banks was
tried and convicted was the burning
OF the home of II. NJ. COMBS, eight
miles from Hampton. one night In last
June. The origin of the fire was a
mystery. CommisslQher OF Insurance
Joseph Button put the detective bureau
Of his department OH the case immedi-
ately after the report on the fire came
In. Within few days Banks was In
custody, charged with burning tho
house. The evidence of his suilt sup
piled by the detectives of the State In
surance Department resulted in his
conviction.
The secret agents OF the department
operate under the Immediate super
vision of one Of the Oldest and most
adept professional investigators In the
State. The identity OF the insurance
detectives IsFnot generally known to
the state officials or police. it being
evidently the policy OF Commission er
Button -to~keep this arm OF the Insur-
ance Department hidden, that It may
be employed more effectively.

WILSON REBUKES
NEGRO VISITOR FOR
OFFENSIVE SPEECH
Tells Spokesman@1sof Equal
Rights League He Will
Not Be Permitted Again to
Address Him.

WASHINGTON, Nov Fin heated.
sensational manner negro delegates from
the National Independent Equal Rights
League today demanded from President
Wilson the abolition of segregation in the
Government departments, and received a
sharp and poiIted rebuke from the Chief
Executive.
To the spokesman Of the delegation, w.
Monroe Trotter, OF Boston, the President
said:
''You have spoken to me as no other
man has spoken since assumed the Pres
idency. When your organization calls
upon me again 1t will have to select an
other spokesman"
The President made a lengthy address
to the negro delegates, beginning by re-
bukIng them for dragging politics into the
question, and saying that II they had
made mistake in voting for him they
ought to vote against him. He said 1t was
a human and not political question that
confronted them He said he had not
sought the Presidency of the United
States. He added that his present bur-
dens were almost TOO much Iof human
flesh TO bear.
Shortly after this point in his address
Trotter began to interrupt the President
and question him about various points
he had made. The President declined to
submit to this, saying that Trotter evil
IDENTIFY was trying to put passion into
his questions and that he was speaking
to him, Woodrow Wilson, the man. rather
than the President OF the United States.
The President then rebuked TrOtter in
the manner stated above.
The President declared that he believed
the interests of the Negro would be best
served by making him Independent OF the
white race. He said that segregation
was undertaken to avoid friction and
trouble between the two races, and that
no matter how much they might deploTs
prejudice existing between the white and
the Negro, they must take into account
the fact that it exists The problem can
not be dealt with I'm a sentimental, but
a practical way, he added.
