DOYLE BRINGS
QUIET TO EIGHTH
Police Captain Gains Mos
Complex Situation of
Any Precinct in DC.

Negro ministers, lawyers and 9TH
er professional men OF the race are
the right arm OF Police Captain r.
E Doyle. OF the Eighth precinct
His territory is the hardest to
handle of any in the District In
the Eighth precinct it is estimated
that there are about 10. 600 negroes
OF the higher type" which includes
the professional class and students
OF Howard University; there are
about 10000 OF the middle class"
mechanics and clerks employed IN
the government service. and there
are several thousand of the Tower
class" uneducated negroes whose
ignorance is largely responsible for
much law-breakinS.
A variety of police methods is used
to handel the lower class, where in
many cases as with whites, the law of
force alone is obeyed. but Capt. Doyle
declares that diplomacy is his most
effective weapon in defense of the law.
With lpng experience he has builded
a close acquaintance with the higher
element. whose influence over the law
less populace is used with great effect
This wat demonstrated on Tuesday
night, wien. on a mere request from
Capt. Doile. all pool rooms, theaters
and othdr gathering places. were
closed. Personally. he visited many
parts of his precinct requesting the
negroes to stay within doors after
dark and before 10 o'clock the streets
in his territory practically wert
empty
His personal influence over the resi-
dents of the Eighth Is greater prob
ably than that wieldNd by a police
official in any other preNinct. Through
out the Eighth he is considered the
negro's' friend. and in aome quarters
his request alone is law.
On the day following the night OF
terror in the negro belts of the north
west section. Capt. Doyle brought all
his influence to bear in calming the
Eighth precinct.
Throughout the day and night only
two arrests were made, and one OF
these was made on a charge of speed
ing in an automobile. The other was
the arrest by headquarters detectives
of a negro boy on a charge OF carry
ing a concealed weapon.
With practically the entire negro
populace Of the Eighth promenading
the streets at twilight on Tuesday.
to all Appearances awaiting trouble.
Capt Doyle steadfastly expressed his
opinion that there would be no dis
turbance.

Sergt Wilson when he died met his
widow at Union Station and told her

of the consequences.

CRIMES IN MEXICO
DECLARED DUE TO

strong pro-German feeling instigated
by the Carranza government
Mr. Mitchell stated that mistreatment
of foreigners in Mexico is largely
confined to Americans. Other nation
ais. he said. are accorded far more
respect than citizens OF the United
States. American women particularly
have been subjected to all sorts OF in
suits. the committee was told.
japanese are especially well treated,
Mr.. Mitchell pointed out He said
in many instances they have been en-
ployed as guards. As to the Germans.
the witness had this to say:
The Germans in Mexico. official rec
or1s will show, were not taxed near5y
as heavily as other foreigners, and 1t
is a known fact that several Carran3
officers were paid by German intel
ests.'' Il
Boastcd of Power.
Hatred Of Americans developed
rapidly after the Vera Cruz Incl
dent and the Pershing epedition
into Mexico, Mr.. Mitchell explained.
From the time OF the occupation of
Vera Cruz until the close of the
European war. he added, the Mexi-
cans were boastful that they could
whip the United States. basing this
confidence on the theory that this
country was not strong enough to
vindicate its rights on that occa-
sion.
Representative Garrett asked MI.
Mitchell il he believed that the Car
( rama government should be held
| responsible for the acts of hostility
| directed by MeXicanns towards citi-
| zens Of the United States. The wit
! ness replied:
II consider the Carranza govern
ment guilty in this way: l have
never known of a case where the
culprits have been brought to pun
ishment. so you might say there
was a tacit agreement that they
could carry on their operations. II
they should make two or three
examples of these criminals. and
not always say it was the bandits
who did it, it might be stopped"
The Rules Committee also heard
from the lips of the victims them
selves the pathetic story of the re-
cent raid on the home of John w.
Correll. about thirty-four miles from
Tampico. Mrs. Correll told of the
murder OF her husband. the criminal
assault upon herself, and the sack
ing of their house.
Her story was corroborated in every
particular by her 1S-year-old son, Joe
