Mass Meeting
Insofar as the negroes are con-
cerned, the better class Of the race
have no desire for trouble, and the
same may be said of the better class
of the whites.
This was established at a well at
tended mass meeting of both races
which was held in the colored Meth
odist church. on Fourth street, yes
terday afternoon, when an exchange
of feeling was expressed and better
understanding will undoubtedly re-
suit.
The colored people were given ev-
cry assurance that they would be
protected in the future.
Councilman Erfert, who is actins
mayor in the absence Of Mr.. Hender-
son, stated that police protection
would be increased materially, while
Sheriff Moran stated that he would
spare no efforts to prevent a repeti-
tion of the crime.
Want Protection
The most prominent colored eco
pie of the city were present at the
gathering and gave every assurance
that 1t was not the desire of the ne
gro to create trouble. All they want
ed was protection from harm or else
to be given the authority to protect
themselves.
The meeting revealed that the ne
eros were not preparing, as had been
reported, to "march upon the whites
unawares +" They had no stores OF
ammunition nor have they given any
indication of having anything but
friendly feeling for the better class
OF the white people
They were represented by tho COL
ored ministry and some of the best
known colored business and profess
sIonal men in the city. who expressed
confidence in the better class OF bus
incss and professional men of Miami
whom they have known for so many
years

During all this time a number of

their appearance and antics.

TO PROTECT MOTORS
OF THEATER PATRONS
Committee Of Local Autoists and Lo-
cal Playhouse Managers Discuss
Project Two Hours.

Protection for meteor cars of theater
patrons was discussed for two hours
between several of WashingtonS lead
ing theater managers and committee
American Automobile Association at it's
headquarters yesterday.
AS result it is probable that a COM
mittee win be appointed to organize
secret service system for protection of
the cars of those motorists who do not
employ chauffeurs and while in the
theater leave their cars unguarded.
Theater managers present at the
meeting Were: L. Stoddard Taylor of
the Belasco. Fred Berger of Polls, H
NJ. Crandall of Crandalls theaters and
Tom Moore of the Garden and Strand.
Manager Robbins of keith's is also in
terested in the plan. but absence from
the city prevented his presence at the
conference.
The motor club was represented by
John Oliver La Gorce. chairman; J. NJ
Stoddard. A. 6. Batchelder and William
Ullman.
AS originator of the proposed guard
system, John Oliver La Gorce explained
to the theater managers the clubs
plan, pointed out the benefits that
should accrue to both theater manager
Inspector Grant of the police depart
ment showing the extent Of the car
thefts in front of the theaters.
Inspector Grants list showed that
the greatest HuIlpeF OF lleItS during
six months occurred in front of the
Belasco and Keith's, the former off the
beaten path of traffic, across from a
park and out of the bright-light dis
trict; the latter in the heart of the city,
in the center of brilliant illumination
and with uniformed policemen on every
hand, thus proving nothing as far as
special locality conditions are concerned
To make a success of the proposed
guard system. it was pointed out. car
owners will have to do their bit" by
parking their vehicles as near a sec
ton designated by the theater manag-
ers as possible. A committee has been
appointed by the club to survey the
parking spaces in the neighborhood of
the theaters and report recommends
tions.
Pointing out that it would be neither
fair nor practicable for him to supply
protection for all of the cars parked
up and down Pennsylvania avenue near
his theater, Manager Berger of Polls
expressed the thought that resulted in
the designated-area idea, which, with
the cooperation of the car owners. will
add considerably to the success of the
original plans. it is said.
The hardest problem to be met, ac-
cording to Mr.. La Gorce. will be found
in front of the Garden, Strand and
Crandall's, all on busy 9Th street,
where hundreds of cars are parked
hourly and where it is almost impos-
sible to determine which are patrons
cars and which are not. Extra precau-
tons will have to be taken here, he
said.
Mr. La Gorce said that the A. A. A.
Club will offer heavy rewards for ar
rests and convictions of car thieves,
and that the full force of the organiza-
ton will be behind such prosecutions.

BANNER DAY FOR WASTE
FOR FOUR LOCAL CHARITIES

Yesterday was a banner day in the
collection of bags of household waste
TO be sold for the benefit of the four
social settlements of Washington.
More than 10000 pounds of waste
we're collected by the seven big trucks
This brings the total to more than
900 pounds. Seventy thousand OF
the bags were distributed by workers
of Friendship, Neighborhood, Noel and
Colored Social Settlement houses. The
response has been so generous that the
collection will not be finished this
week.
Many persons who did no: get bags
for their waste have called at Neigh
borhood House, asking that the trucks
call at their homes. A registration
bureau has been established there, and
persons having waste of all sorts, ex-
cept bottles, metal substances and mat
ter which should go into garbage, may
telephone Main 4496 and the trucks
will call for 1t.
Attention was called to the fact that
the Washington settlements anticipat-
ed the suggestion of Secretary Redfield
that children collect and sell junk and
waste as wartime economy.

|0FF|CERS' CAMP VISITED.
BY SECRETARY BAKER
War Department Head Pleased With
Progress Shown-Regular Drill
Follows Inspection.

The Reserve Corps Officers training
camp at Fort Myer. Va. was inspected
this morning by the Secretary of War.
and then Mr.. Baker witnessed the 1000
gymnastic drill The Secretary was
greatly pleased with the progress that
has been made at the camp since it's
opening last Monday. He congratulated
Lieut.. Col. Fenton. camp commander,
and the members of his staff and the
instructors who have been detailed at
the camp, on the excellent showing
made.
Secretary Baker rode out to the camp
in his automobile shortly before 8
o'clock this morning, accompanied by
Capt. Harry N. Cootes. U. S. A. one of
his aids, and Ralph A. Hayes. his pri-
vate secretary. The entire student body
at the camp was brought up in regi-
mental formation at the north end of
the drill field and were led in the gym
nastic drill by Capt. Herman j. Koch
Ter, who is considered the foremost
authority on gymnastics in the army.
Usual Drill Follows.
At the conclusion of the drill the stu
dent officers were dismissed and they
their barracks. obtained their rifles and
equipment and then took up their usual
daily drill program
Secretary Baker spoke in the highest
terms of the progress made at the camp,
saying that although the student officers
had only been together for four days, they
drilled like experienced soldiers. He said
he was greatly impressed with the char
acter of men who have been selected to
take the training course and made the
prediction that many of them would de-
velop into efficient officers.
The camp had its first guard mount
today. Although the students went
through the ceremony of mounting guard.
they will do no guard work, the guard
mount being merely for instruction pur-
poses. Details from the various COM
panies were mounted at 1890 O'Clock
and a half hour later another like guard
went through the ceremony. This is to
be continued each day. SO that all the men
in the camp will become experienced in
guard mounting.
Elaborate Program in View.
The equipment that is being issued
to the men indicates to them that their
three months of training is not to be
spent entirely in barracks. The men
are being supplied with shelter tents
and other field equipment, and~it is
generally understood that later on in
the course there will be long hikes with
overnight camps.
Practically all of the mess halls now
have been supplied with graniteware
dishes and silver-plated knives, forks
ton mess kits and heavy knives and
forks intended for field use has been
discontinued.
Nickel-in- the-slot telephones have
been installed in all of the barracks
buildings and the student officers can
now call up their friends in this city
whenever they have any time to spare.
