NO SPEECH BY TOWNLEY.
bipartisan League Leader De.
MED Address to Jury.

JACKSON, Mimi, July 1.-THE de-
Tense completed its case at noon to-
day in the trial of A c. Townley
and Joseph Gilbert. non-partisan
league leaders, charged with con-
spiracy to commit disloyalty.
After the jury was excused until
2 pm, the defense asked Judge E.
c. Dean to permit Townley to make
part of the closing address to the
jury.
Townley did not take the stand in
his own behalf. Attorneys for the
state protested vigorously to Judge
Dean against Townley being permit
ted to argue the question of his guilt
or innocence to the jury, and took
the position that he could not do SO
as he has not been admitted to the
bar.
Judge Dean, after denying a mo-
ton to dismiss the case, refused at
noon to permit the defendants attor-
neys to address the jury this after
noon on behalf of Gilbert. and also
refused to permit Townley to make
a separate argument in his own be-
half.

C0L0RED RACE AROUSED.
Members Declare Criminal Must Be
Fifty Punished.

To the Editor of The Star: s-ar-
This seems to be the time spoken of
| in the Holy Writ when the devil will
be turned loose for a little season"
For when everything seems to be
| moving1along nicely the devil shoots
up his cloven foot, seemingly to mar
the good will and tranquility between
the white and colored races in this
country.
All of us, both white and colored
alike, deplore the brutal attack on the
white lady near Chevy Chase last
Saturday evening. And as the wicked
crime is laid at the door of colored
man, it is more deplored by the col
ored race than by the white race.
For whenever crime is committed
by white man he alone must bear
of harmony with justice and right
whenever a colored man commits a
crime the same is charged to the en-
tire colored race! And that is why
I am begging space in your valuable
paper in order to speak few words
in behalf of the loyal and friendly
colored citizens of this country.
If the brutal act was committed by
colored man it is the sincere wish
of every law-abiding member of his
race that he be, eaught and tried (but
not by lynching mob) and given the
the law. The law should be upheld at
all hazards. All of us will be glad to
learn that the right man has been
captured and is in safe keeping until
and pay, for his crime. But vengeance
belongs only to the law. And the law
and the law only-should repay it.
1t is regrettable that the phrase,
threats of lynching," is allowed to
be printed. 1t gives a bad impress
oil fho lrn IND
brutal German ex-kaiser, who caused
the death of millions of men and the
torture of thousands of helpless wom-
en- and children, is going to be tried
by a court. And, although his is the
most grievous crime known in the
history of man. he. that most de-
spiSed man on earth, is going to be
given a fair and just trial by the
courts. And may God help our coun-
try to speedily rise above it's present
J. c. CUNNINGHAM.
To the Editor of The Star:
I see the colored people have at last
joined the whites in search of the ne
gro or negroes who have been at
lacking white women around the city
of Washington. I thought it about
time they had taken a hand in this
matter. The colored people should be
Just as deeply concerned in this case
as the whites. or more so, because it
is one of their people who. through
such acts, would drag the whole race
down to destruction If they are al
lowed to continue. The colored people
should put forward every effort to
run down and catch these f1ends.
AS a member of that race, l wish
to God it could be rid of those black
fends (and when I use the word
black I mean their acts).

SEE ONE HEAD FOR D. c.
| PENAL INSTITUTIONS
Some Believe Commissioners May
Issue Order to That Effect
This Week.

Early development of the plan to
place the Districts penal institutions
under the control of a single direct
ing head or general superintendent
was predicted yesterday. That an or
der to this effect may be issued by
the Commissioners this week is con-
sidered in well informed circles to be
extremely probable.
Since the dismissal of DR.. Louis F.
Zinkhan as jailer. Charles Foster. su-
perintendent of the District penal
farm. comprising the workhouse, at
Occoquan, and the reformatory, at
Lorton, Va, has been the acting head
Of the city institution.
1t is a foregonc conclusion that II
the jail. workhouSe and reformatory
are placed under unified control. the
first general superintendent will be
Mr.. Foster. Each Institution will have
an assistant superintendent.
Commissioner Brownlow and En-
gineer Commissioner Kutz visited
Occoquan Friday to note the progress
being made in the construction of
the industrial railroad which is to ex-
tend from the wharves, on Occoquan
creek, through the workhouse prop

PLANS FOR BABY's COMFORT.
Red Cross Supplies Siberian Infants
With Various Utilities.

Siberian babies are coming into
their own soon.
Wouldn't you think 5000. 900 safety
pins would pin up a few babies? 1t
would seem likely that 1855 cans
of talcum powder would smooth out
the skins of many little Siberians
Before the talcum is used, 110,712
cakes of soap ought to be good for
those baby skins.
The supplies are part of a big ship
ment authorized by the American Red
Cross yesterday for immediate con-
signment to the territory which in
past years was thought to be the
sole home of the nihilists. ~
The baby supplies will be va1ued at
$1O6.437. In addition. underwear to
the value of $236.000 will be shipped
for Siberian "groWn-upS.'

public employment bureau to fill 1904
positions that were open. according to
the report given out yesterday by Man

2.027 of them seeking work. The de-
mand for efficient and experienced Of
fee workers exceeded the supply.
OF the colored male applicants. t.7o7
applied. Many OF these we're good la =
horers who were anxious to secure
steady employment.
The majority OF the white female
applicants were seeking clerical work,
but the demand for inexperienced help
of this kind Is limited They refused
any other class OF employment.
The demand for colored female help.
principally domestics. far exceeded the
supply.
The number Of employers using the
bureau is steadily increasing, and the
results obtained show that this branch
of the department of public welfare is
doing a real service for the citizens of
Richmond. especially at this time when
SO many overseas men are being de-
