HOTEL CATERING
: TO NEGRO, NEED
DR.. Champion Says Colored
Man Is Often Shabbily
Treated

Careful census of all the colored
women of the Tenderloin who have
no visible means of support is to be
kept by the Dauphin County Colored
Law and Order League and reported
to the Dauphin county courts at Janu-
ary quarter sessions, according to DR..
c. H. Champion. president of the or
ganization.
DIR. Champion, who was one of the
chief witnesses for Theo. S. Frye, the
State street hotel keeper, who is try
ing to get the courts permission to
transfer his license to 1912 North Sew
enth street in the face of vigorous op-
position, discussed the leagues pro-
posed activities yesterday.
In the opinion of the league presi-
dent the trouble which certain ele-
ments of the negro population may
give to the police authorities could be
localized if hotel which catered par
ticularly to the negro element should
he permitted within the city limits
Frye's hotel filled this demand, ac-
cording to DR.. Champion, and If his
petition for transfer is refused he will
be forced to close up his business be-
cause the State has acquired his prop
erty for Capitol Park extension pur-
poses.
Furthermore, DR.. Champion said
Frye was one of the hotel keepers
whose cooperation had been asked by
the league to break up the recent law
lessness which has been traceable to
negroes from other sections.

German Embassy Does
Not Believe Master Spy
Got Letters From Oscar II

Washington, Nov. IA. - The Ger
man embassy does not believe that
Karl Armgaard Graves, self-styled
International spy, secured from the
steamship Oscar II, as he says, the
letters he is alleged to have used in
an attempt to eXtort $4,000 from
Countess Won Bernstorff wife of the
German ambassador. Graves will be
arraigned for a. preliminary hearing
here tomorrow before United States
Commissioner Taylor.
The Oscar ii arrived at New York
November l, having left Copenhagen
October %. According to the German
embassy the latest date on the docu-
ments taken from Graves is September
6.
The packet containing the papers
probably was sealed at the German
Foreign Office on that date. 1t is un-
believable, embassy officials declare,
that the packet could have been
kept in Europe nearly a month and a
half before being dispatched. Extra
ordinary efforts are being made to de-
termine the identity of the messenger
who brought the packet to the United
States and the ship he Travelled on.
The embass! feels that the messenger
having lost the pacHet through acci-
dent or theft, might have feared to

More Than Enough Residents
Petition Harrisburg's Council
For Annexation

Gross Says He'll Advertise

Riverside to-day formally asked to
be annexed to Harrisburg.
The request was contained in two
jetitons signed by more than so per
cent. of the taxable residents of the
growing little suburb to the north of
the city.
The next step necessary to include
Riverside within the municipal bound
aries will be the adoption of an ordin-
ance by Council authorizing the an
nexation and City Solicitor ID. S. SeitZ
will be asked to prepare this legiSla-
ton as soon as he is able to return to
his desk. Upon motion of Mayor
Meals to-day the Riverside petitions
were referred to Mr.. Seitz with in
structions to prepare the ordinance.
Pass Riprap Ordinance
Council unanimously passed on final
reading the Gross ordinance authoriZ-
ing the riprapping of the river front
slopes north of Hardscrabble. This
action followed Commissioner Gross
report on the inadvisability of treating
the slopes with concrete rather than
riprapping. Mr.. Gross said he will ad-
virtise for bids this week. A few weeks
ago bids were asked but the sole pro-
posal received was not considered.
Legislative authority for the work
was pending in Council at the time.
