Colored Citizens Paper
Demands That Criminal
Be Caught and Punished

Expressing unqualified condemna-
ton of the assaults on women recent
ly. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee,
local colored newspaper. calls on the
colored people Of the District to as
sist the authorities in running down
the guilty man, and asserts that no
negro native of Washington ever has
been guilty of such crimes. In part
the editorial to appear in the next
issue of the Bee says:
st is. indeed, shame and dis
grace to the great capital of the ma
ton. where all laws are enacted for
the government Of the city and the
nation at large, that crimes, such as
we have had within the last few days,
should be permitted to exist. None
Of these crimes against the honor Of
womanhood ever existed in the dark
days of slavery, and neither can they
be placed against the native colored
citizens of Washington, who believe
in law and order.
There was time when females
could walk the public streets at any
hour of the night unmolested: there
was a time when unprotected females
white and black. could run to the
black man for protection without fear
The recent outrages that have
startled all Washington are charged
against the black man. which will
cast suspicion on other innocent COL
ored citizens. Suspicious-looking COL
ored men will be Stunned by every fe-
male, although they would die in pro-
tecting the honor of a female, white
or black.
The Bee. on behalf of the law
abiding citizens of Washington, wants
it understood that such crimes de-
serve the severest punishment, and if
the perpetrators Of the recent das-
tardly deeds should be caught, let
such punishment be given that will
deter all others in the future.
The Bee takes this opportunity to
say to the people in this city that COL
ored citizens are as much in favor of
bringing these violators of the law to
justice as any class of American citi-
zens. The Bee hopes that the recent
crimes committed will not initiate in
the least against the law-abiding citi-
zens in this community Any man
who outrages the honor of a female
should be severely punished. None
but a brute would have been guilty
Of such outrages as recently have
been committed"

Saturday afternoon say the negro
who attacked Miss Saunders few
minutes after the assault The ne
gro, apparently about nineteen or
twenty years old and wearing a gray
suit and cap, came to the Somerset
stop along the footpath passing the
southern boundary of the Chevy
Chase Club golf links.
Did you kids hear about that white
lady that got hurt over here little
while ago." the negro asked the
boys. indicating the general locality
of the attack with wave of his
hand.

had not heard of it the negro, they
said. replied:
well. if you haven't heard about
it there's no use of me telling you"

SAYS Bank Won Case.

Mr.. Hogan insisted that the bank
had finally won its case against the
controller. although Mr Williams. he
said. had sent long statement To the
press asserting that he had won the
case The decision in the case was
withheld for a year. Mr.. Hogan said,
until a month before the charter Of
the bank expired. He said that tn"
controller threatened to refuse a re
neWal of the charter to the bank un-
less certain conditions We're complied
with, among them the dismissal of the
suit and the retirement of &. {. Glover.

Mr.. Williams used his power TO
deny the bank its charter" said Mr.
Hogan. unless certain conditions
were carried out" He said that Mr.
Williams had outlined these condi-
tions in conversations with Mr.. Oar
lington of counsel for the hank. II.
said that the situation had become
so serious that the Riggs Bank had
obtained charter from the state of
West Virginia and had even prepared
signs to be used as a state bank
Mr.. Hogan said that the solvency OF
Riggs Bank during the period of in
vestigation by the controller had
never been questioned.

Apartment House Rentals.

In only few instances are homes

on the market for rental purposes.
AS to the apartment houses being
constructed for rental purposes. the
question of the price of rentals which
will be asked il was declared by n
prominent realty broker today. VIII
be about so per cent higher than three
or four years ago for the same Kind
of an apartment.
"A prominent builder told me last
night" he said. that the cost of con
etruction Of apartment houses in the
past three years has advanced about
IS per cent" This realty broker said
this fact. together with the high cost
Of coal and other Incidental. for the
operation of an apartme Mt house leads
him to believe that an apartment
house owner would have to charge
about so per cent more for TIE new
.partment than he did for i similar
one three wears ago.
Several of the real estate men are
~ the opinion that the Salisbury act
has greatly retarded building in the
District and that what construction
has been done has not relieved the
housing situation to any great ex-
tent. They expect. however. that
the many apartments and homes
which are now in course of con-
struction will go long way toward
giving relief.

Witness Makes Quick Retort.

Taking up the theme that the Tri-
bune had particular malice against
the Detroit manufacturer. and. among
all those who opposed war. singled
him out for attack. Mr.. Lucking con-
sidered a series of articles written by
Charles N Wheeler. a Tribune staff
correspondent.
II gathered from those articles that
Mr.. Wheeler was favorably impressed
with Mr. Ford" said Mr.. Blake.
Mr.. Lucking- darted forward and
shaking his finger, accused: Yes
those articles as the basis Of an at
tack. You ignored the good, things
and bounced on things to ridicuIe''
Mr.. Lucking asked where witness
had read that Mr.. Ford said that the
word murderer" should be embroid-
cred on the breasts of every soldier,
and was informed that witness could
not remember anything except that he
had read it somewhere.
And don't you know" pressed the
lawyer. that that statement was
made by Jane Adams, one of the
greatest women in the United States,
and was put in Mr.. Ford's mouth by
an interviewer,
Il know Miss Adams we'll, and I
don't believe she made any such out
rageous statement" answered Mr.
Blake.
She opposed war;"
"Oh, yes, so did the Tribune, for that
matter"
Mr.. Lucking stated that Mr.. Ford
was probably the first big manufac-
turer to offer the entire services of
his plant to the government when war
was declared and asked if witness had
not read in the New York World or
elsewhere a statement from Mr.. Ford
that he would not oppose an army of
$50, 900 or 800 ,000-enough for defense
MIR. Blake said that he had no recol-
lection of such a statement.
