II. Fletcher postponed pronouncing
sentence pending argument for new
trial to be heard today. II new trial
is refused the case will be appealed TO
the supreme court of Virginia.
CASE DID NOT TEST LAW.
The constitutionality OF the Tangier
Sunday law was not an issue in the
case, despite efforts on the part OF
the attorneys for the Commonwealth
to bring II before the court
The defense kept il out by repre-
senting that Connorton attempted to
arrest the Parks boy for using pro-
fame language in public Notwith-
standing this. however, it was clearly
brought out by both sides that IL was
because the boy was violating the
Sunday ordinance by sitting on the
porch Of his brothers store that he
was first accosted by ConnortoI and
that the alleged profanity was uttered
by tho boy in the verbal encounter
that ensued.
Roy ID. White. Commonwealth at
torney. and N II. WestCott, his associ-
ate. persisted in their efforts to inject
the ordinance into the case to the
very end, and in closing arguments
before the jury roundly scored what
was termed the alleged ordinance
and attacked it's validity.
PLEADED sELF-DEFENSE.
Sclf.defensc was the issue upon
which the defense rested its case.
Connorton. testifying in his own be-
half. claimed Roland Parks hit him
while he was attempting to perform
his duties az an officer of the law.
There were no witnesses who cor
roborated his statement though his
father, Mayor Crockett. of Tangier,
and members OF the Tangier Town
Council. testified they saw Connor-
ton soon after the episode and OBJ
served cut under one eye and sew
eral bruises.
In effect the court instructed the
Jury that IL the circumstances sur
rounding the attempted arrest were
such as to threaten tho deputy sheriff
with great bodily injury" or were
even such as to give reasonable
grounds for him to believe he was in
danger Of great bodily injury" he was
justified in shooting and should be ac-
quilted.
The jury also was instructed that
as an officer of the law it was Connor-
tons duty to make arrests for misde
meanors committed in his sight, and
II IL was the belief of the jury Con-
norton attempted to make the arrest
because Roland Parks used profane
language. which is.a misdemcanor
under the state law, they were com
PEELED to recognize it was his duty to
arrest.
ARGUMENTS LAST FOUR HOURS.
The arguments to the jury lasted
four hours George l.. Dougherty and
g. James burlington. for the defense,
basing their pleas on the duty of an
officer OF the law to arrest in mis-
demeanor cases. White summed up
the states case briefly and the con.

NATIONAL BANKING PROGRAM
UNDER WAY.

Washington, ID. C.-Since, 1912,
when the National Negro Business
League met in Chicago, ILL.,, the Negro
banking institutions of the country
have been seeking banking affiliations
which would put them in line with the
great banking establishments of the
country.
At the recent meeting of the Nation
al Negro Business League in Philadel-
phiu August, 1920, DIR. Emmett j.
Scott, secretary, invited certain repre-
sentativas of New York banking inter
ests to meet with group of colOred
bankers in Philadelphia. At that con
ference II full, free and informal inter
change of opinions took place, leading
to IL decision to pursue the effort to II
final conclusion so that colored banks
may not be handicapped in the future
as they have been in the past by lack
of sympathetic help and the co-opera-
ing interests of the country.
Negotiations are now under way
looking to closer affiliations of this
character and the effort is being sup
ported by some of the most important
of the colored and white banking in
stitutions of the country. A capital
fund of S1,000,000 will finance the pro-
gram. Full announcement of the de-
tails is expected to be made in New
York within the next few days. Ap-
plication for charter has already been
made.

WAsHINeToN's POPULATION.
Capital Loses Place as Ranking City

Title Moves Westward to
Chicago.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Population of
of 326Sj4 white persons, 109,976 col
ored and I'll other races, including
Chinese, japanese and Indians, the
census bureau announced recently. The
total of these figures makes up the
1920 population for the District, which
is 437,5T1.
The increase in the cOlored popula-
ton has been greater from 1910 to
1920 than from 1900 to 1910 and was
at higher rate, the Increase being
1880, or 1914 per cent, from 1910 to
1920, as against T,T44, or SO per cent,
from 1900 to 1910.
While the percentage ration of col
ored residents of the District shows a
decrease of "a per cent as compared
with 1910, the numerical increase in
the colored population shows decid-
ed gain commensurate with the total
gain in population. In 1910 there were
"a, ,446 colored persons residents in the
District of Columbia.
Washington for some time has been
the leading city in the matter of col
ored population. 1t is significant to
note that the recent migratory move
ment has caused this leadership to be
located in one of the more northern
cities of the United States. Chicago,
it is understood, claims this distinc'
tion. This shift is indicative of the
desire of the new Negro for larger
freedom and opportunity.
