Discrimination in Favor
of Washington Admitted
Before House Committee

Preference is being shown to Wash
ington over other large cities through
out the country in the bringing here OF
a carload OF food supplies held as sur
plus by the War Department to be sold
to the public in small lots at 20 per
cent reduction in price, according to
testimony given by c. w. Hare. d.
rector of sales, before the special House
committee investigating expenditures in
the War Department.
Representative Reavis Of Nebraska
asked Mr.. Hare il 1t was not a dis
elimination to sell these surplus food
supplies at a reduced price in Baltimore.
Washington, New York and a few such
cities when they were not sold general
ly throughout the country. Mr.. Hare
said that in the case Of Washington it
was discrimination.
In other places, like Baltimore and
New York, the War Department had
depot warehouses from which the food
similarly being done throughout the
country. Other communities throughout
the country have been notified that car
loads of food supplies will be sent to
them for sale at the same reduced
price if they will pay the freight.
The discrimination in favor of
Washington is due to the fact that
the freight does not have to be paid
by the consumers here. it was pointed
out. The Commissioners have guaran-
teed, however, the payment Of the
value of the carload at 80 per cent of
the normal price within ten days.
Washington is getting this opportunity
as an experiment, Mr.. Hare explained.

a few days ago there was a letter
in The Star by Mr.. Sargent calling
attention to the dog exemption bill
and desiring that it be passed. There
are many people who are eagerly
watching and waiting for this bill to
go into effect. Too much cannot be
said in its favor. The noble animal
himself makes a voiceless appeal in
his own behalf. He stands. as ever.
ready to befriend us; he has shown
by his faithfulness in the past that
he is capable OF doing this. He WAS
worked during the war and at other
times in a spirit of cheerful and will
ing self-sacrifice. Let US come for
ward, one and all. and plead his cause.
He is waiting to be delivered from
torture worse than death. from I'M
necessary cruelty. as /. physician.
am willing to testify. He stands a
prisoner awaiting judgment. In vir-
tue Of his true nobility, of his usefel-
ness and of his great and generous
nature, let us help to redeem him
from agony, which. to a sensitive and
high-strung nature, must be terrible
indeed.

be no mob violence. They ask that the

APPEAL POSTP0NES
DATE FOR HANGING
J. H. Jackson, Condemned for
Murder of Miss Hood, Was
to Die Tomorrow.
OCTOBER IS LATEST DATE

James Henry Jackson. colored. the
condemned murderer of Miss Lillian
Hood. the young war worker from
Tennessee. last January, will not be
hanged tomorrow at the District Jail.
Because of the tendency of an ap-
peal in the Court of Appeals, which
cannot be determined or even aban-
doned before that tribunal assemblies
in October, Justice Siddons today
postponed the execution of Jackson
until October Is. Jackson was con-
victed of first degree murder May 9
and his death then set b. the court
for July g.
ON the same night that Miss Hood
was fatally wounded in her room at
1887 l. street two other homes in the
northwest section were entered. and
in each case woman occupant was
attacked by the intruder. one of the
other victims. Miss Martha L. Geagan
of 1872 Connecticut avenue. also was
shot. but recovered. The third won-
an was Miss Florence Fowler, who
frightened the intruder out of her
room at 1911 l. street.
The triple assault caused fear to
spread among the women of the city
during the week which elapsed be-
fore the police arrested Jackson and
had him indicted as the murderer of
Miss Hood.
Suspicion was fastened upon Jack
son after Detective O'Brien learned
that he was treated by physical for
gunshot wound not long after the
attack on Miss Hood. Looking up his
record, the police found that he had
served time in penitentiary and that
at the time of the attacks he was
living in the vicinity of the three
houses which were entered.
1t later developed that Jackson had
been at dance in Georgetown the
night before Miss Hood was muir
dered. Returning, he got off a street
car at Dupont Circle and walked
down Connecticut avenue to the
Geagan home, where the first attack
was made. From there, 1T was
brought out, he ran to the other two
houses on l. street, few blocks away.

Discretion Is Advised.

I'm carrying out this peeler ,policel
boycott" a quotation from this manu-
script read, II would advise you to
use some discretion. Peelers may be
divided in two classes. Class l are
those who Joined up before the ma
jority of the Irish people declared
for a republic. class 2 are those who
had the villainy to join after it
After stating there was some ex-
tenuation for the first class the man
uscript continued:
LAS for class their lives are for
feited on two grounds-first of all,
because they have committed high
treason in taking up arms against
the republic, and secondly, because
they are in the position of spies
caught in the act. These men pass
sentence and judgment on them
selves in putting on their uniforms.
and if any man shoots or otherwise
destroys one of them he may rest easy
in his conscience. for he is only car
rying out the sentence already passed
on him by the republican govern
ment"
The memorandum tells of measures
taken to curb lawlessnesss but says
that since July, 1918, the increase
in crime has been so marked in the
county of Tipperary that the gov
eminent has been compelled to sup
press as unlawful associations the
organizations in that county" :
