SMALL PACKERS
OPPOSE BILLS
Declare They Would Put
Out of Business
Entirely.

Washington. Sept 2.-Independent
packers assaiiing the Kenyon and
Kendrick bills before the senate agri-
culture committee today declared
that federal regulation through a IL
censing system would utterly demor-
alize their business.
Patrick Brennan. president of the
Independent Packing company of
Chicago, said his company, established
in 1905 had built up its business in
competition with the big packers and
that it's business volume in 1918 was
$27,0O00,0o0.
These bills are aimed at the large
the desire of congress to encourage
competition and keep the smaller
packers in the field. But they will
work towards an opposite effect.
First it gives the secretary of
agriculture power to suspend the Ii
cense of any concern to do business
to punish it for infractions of any
appeal from this suspension is to the
circuit court of appeals. The law says
in plain English that If the court finds
any evidence to sustain the eecretary's
decision, il must stand. All packers
do business on borrowed money. This
feature of the law alone would make
the small packer bad financial risk,
that would eventually result in leav
ing the business to the largest and
strongest companies"

Of the peace terms framed for

The treaty was presented to the
Austrian delegates by Paul Du-

them the Allied reply TO- the Aus.
trfan counter proposals and
covering letter reiterating that
Austria had predpitated the war

PROTEST JIM GROWING IN CON-
GRESSIONAL LIBRARY.

The National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, 20 Fifth
Avenue, New York, today made public
an emphatic protest sent to President
Wilson against race. segregation in the
Congressional Library In Washington.
The protests asserted that colored
people have been excluded from the
public restaurant of the library and
that colored employees nave been seq
regated in the lunch room.
"We desire most emphatically to
protest." says the letter to President
Wilson, against the policy adopted by
those in charge of the Congressional
Library of denying to colored employees
facilities which should be maintained
for the use of all, and to the colored
people of Washington and of the coun-
try in general the use of the restaurant
maintained by federal taxes for the
general public"
The letter is signed by James Wei

HEIR TO 100000.

The chancery court of Richmond
entered decree giving $4,000 to w.
e. Hope, of 1901 U street northwest,
Washington, D. c., and his sister, Mat
tie NJ. L. Hope, of Richmond.
A certain piece of property located
in Richmond on Fourth street, be-
tween Broad and Grace streets, has
been in litigation in the courts for a
number of years. This property be-
longed to the estate of Sarah Anna
Hope, who died few years ago, leav-
ing only two children TO inherit it, w.
Il. Hope and Matte NJ. i. Hope. Her
status in the property was uncertain,
which made the status of the inheri-
tance more uncertain, as result OF
which Col. Giles B. Jackson, who as
sociated with himself Major Sol Culch-
ms. instituted proceedings in the chan
Gerry court for the settlement of the
legal status of William f. Hope, of
Washington, ID. c., and Matte Nj. l..
Hope, of this city, the only heirs TO
this property.
BY this decree the court established
the title and directed the sale of the
property, which brought $4,000 mt
public auction. This is the largest
sum of money recovered by any col
ored person since the Bette Thomas
Lewis case, whose father, a white man,
died without n will Under the laws
of Virginia, colored child can not
inherit property from n white father,
as the marriage of white and colored
persons is prohibited. Hence the SUIT
brought by Bette Thomas Lewis and
successfully maintained that her father
gave her, before he died, the key TO
his vault in the bank and told her that
what was in the vault she could have.
ThereupOn the court decided in her
favor for 100000. This $4,000 suit
won by w. e. Hope is the next largest
Judgment rendered in favor of col
ored person in the Virginia courts, and
he should feel congratulated as well as
his counsel, Col. Giles B. JacksosnE

publicity. etc, to inform the people
throughoutaih United States of the
church and community needs and of
the program to meet them. When the
people are thus fully informed, the
co-operation denominations that have
been planning these forward move
ments will unite in making an appeal
TO their constituencies for the money
and the leadership necessary to put
the program into effective operation
to meet the needs.
This movement will not interfere in
any way with the regular organization
of any church or denomination. The
work from beginning to end will be
done by representatives of the various
denominations. The regular church
and UNCONVENTIONAL organizations will
be used as a means through which the
work will be done. One of the most
hopeful features of the movement Is
that it does not aim at federation or
union of denominations nor does it try
to deal with administration of any de-
nominational activity. 1t is only at
tempting to carry plans through whlch
each denomination may cooperate
with all other denominations in meet
ing the religious and life needs of the
people, while at the same time pre-
serving denominational independence.
