White Women Don't Want Negro Boss,
 Petition Asserts
Bx Associated Prnss

Washington, April 2-Members of Con gross today received copies of a petition, addressed to Mrs. Virginia White Speel, chairman of the national woman's re- publican committee of the District of Columbia, and signed by 50S white wom- en employees in the office of the regis ter of the treasury, opposing appoint ment of negro as register.
 We have been definitely informed, the ,signers of the petition declared, that the appointment of negro as register of the treasury is being con sidered. The registers office is now very large and is doing responsible work. It's personnel consists of more than 3VO clerks, mostly ex-seryiee men and white women, who are dependent upon their income here for support. For negro to have Jurisdiction over these clerks would be intolerable.
 Tt is true that negroes have served as registers of the treasury, but out of the 2 registers, only 4 have been ne- groes At no time when this office was under the supervision of a'fnegro did the personnel consist of more than 19 clerks and 1 messenger
 The signers of the petition, whose homes as given included 8 states, in a letter to members of Congress, enclos- ing the petition, declare:
 This petition does not come from any political faction, nor was it instigated by southern prejudice. Northerners' southerners, customers westerners, dein- ocrats and republicans alike, have set their signature thereto.
 s.In time of war it was thought mad visable to put negro officers in charge of white troops. In time of peace lt would certainly be inexpedient t1 -ive neproes jurisdiction over white citizens .

 Havana. April 2.-(Special.)-With all the sporting writers spending the spring in the baseball training camps watching for the buds on Frank Bakers bat to open. the big sporting event of the world which IS being staged in this city is passing unnoticed except for perfunctory news dispatches. You might think that the tournament for the worlds chess championship was Of no importance.
 All the week Jose k. Capablanca and Dr. Emanuel Lasker have been battling under the blazing Cuban sun for the possession of the colored-bead sombrero which goes to the winner of the worlds title. All the week excitement-crazed partisans of the two chess masters have been throng- ing the streets of Havana, breaking shop windows and plundering cigar orchards in the reaction from the strain of watching the nerve-racking contest which has been carried on from day to day
 WHY HAVANA CHOSEN
 Havana was chosen as the scene for this colossal struggle of frontal brain-lobes doubtless because an un- limited supply of artificial stimulants Is essential to keep the players and their audience awake. The refresh ments are fed to the contestants through rubber tubes in order to leave their hands free to hold their heads with. Last Thursday the tube through which Dr. Lasker was be- ing fed, became twisted, thereby shutting off his supply of stimu- lant, and before it was discovered the German wizard was fast asleep and had been for an hour and a halw. He was penalized for taking time out unnecessarily. .
 Capablanca, being local boy, reigns strong favorite in the bet ting and popular favor. A mass meeting was held in the Havana theatre early in the week at which chess songs and cheers were re- hearsed, with the result that a well organized section Of rooters has been present at every match. One of the more inspiring of the chess songs runs as follows:
 Oh, sweep, sweep across the board,
 With your castles, queen and pawns, We are with you, all Havan's horde.
 Till the sun of victory dawns. Then it's fight, fight, fight,
 To your last white knights, For the truth must win always,
 And we'll feed old Lasker soms
 hot tobasker,
 On Capablanca's day
 On Wednesday. when Capablanca

somewhere between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains should happen into an European capital today. Naturally, he would be filled with the idea that tremendous international problems are debated by the diplomats in tremendously serious conferences, with much talk about the high prin- ctples of justice and humanity.
 HOW IT IS DONE
 And suppose that John Citizen gets an opportunity to discuss public ques- tions with high official of one of the entente governments. And sup pose the resulting conversation goes something like this:
 Looks like Charles Hapsburg got a cold reception in Budapest?" John ven lures.
 Perhaps. But maybe, like the groundhog. he only emerged to get a look at the weather
 And found a long winter ahead, hey?"
 Not necessarily: I rather think that Hungary will be obliged to recall him to the throne sooner or later,
 ''You take it calmly"
 Why not? Hungary is traditionally and constitutionally monarchy. is it not,"
 But the Hapsburg! The bloody tyrants of Europe! Weren't we fight ing to get rid of them2 And what will the Czechs and the Serbs say if the old slave master is restored?"
 CAN'T PLEASE ALL
 ''Oh, you can't please everybody. There are always kickers."
 Then you approve of the Hapsburg restoration?'
 "Well. why not? That's better than enthroning some German prince who would bring about another central Eu- ropean alliance and perhaps even an amalgamation of Germany, Austria and Hungary.
 "Yet the St. Gcrmain treaty forbids the return of the Hapsburg dynasty. Do you favor violating the treatyf''
 There are mistakes in the best treaties-some time the spirit is best observed when the letter Is not fol- lowed too closely"
 Scraps of paper. in short?'
 This last remark of John Citizens Is too blunt for diplomatic ears. and he is led or rather pushed to the door.
