 IN CONVENTION
Several Negro Delegations Barred From Virginia State
 G. 0. P. Convention
By Associated Press

Norfolk Va, July 14.-Three ne-
 gfoes sat as accredited delegates in
 the republican state convention here today. although several contested
 delegations of negroes were barred.
 Police guarded the doors to the convention hall and turned away the negroes under the leadership of Jo- seph R. Pollard of Richmond, who was a candidate for United States senator on the republican ticket last year. The negroes, who had been chosen by their own people after the white republicans in their own coin- munities had refused them places in the white delegations, immediately held 8 meeting and announced that a Lilly Black convention would bA held in Richmond September 5. to nominate state ticket.
 Of the tbree negroes on the floor two were members of the accredited delegation from Newport News and one was from Hampton.
 Pollard in a statement made at the convention door when he was refused admittance, declared the negroes had "bolted'' the convention because it
 was illegally constituted, the colore1
 voters not having been given a chance to register their views on lne selection of delegates in many cit Iies."
 Henry w Anderson of Richmond, in the keynote speech of the conven-
 tion this afternoon, referring to of flee holding, said:
 'It is an essential of free and efficient government that persons chosen for, or appointed to public of fees, should be those who are best qualified by character, education and experience to discharge the duties of such offices, and are truly represen- tative of the communities which they serve.
 "The white people of Virginia, con-
 stituting two thirds of it's popula- tion holding nearly 95 per cent of its
 property, with centuries of discipline
 and training in the difficult tasks of self government, are charged with
 the solemn duty to all the people of

Hill, 'bIt the concrete breakage at the drain age valve necessitated this, and while this work is going on I will have q crew of men scrub the bottom and walls thoroughly"

TRIO OF SINGERS HEADS
 BILL AT LOEN,S BIJOU

An excellent trio of men singers proved probably the most popular Bijou act at the opening performance of the latter week bill The bass and tenor singers are really unusual and their dramatic voices with dramatic gesture was much enjoyed, while the trio rounded out their act with several humorous songs of jazz tendency.
 The "Chiropractor" is an act full of laughs at the expense of a black face under the treatment of a chiroprac- tor. Various happenings about the office frighten the blackface before he is finally under the real chiroprac- tic treatmen
 Ed Hastings is good in his juggling act, and gets off some jokes along with his manipulations, A man and woman act of dance and song that came in the second spot is fairly good entertainment. The last act, billed as the flying Russells, opens with a nov city in a girl flying over the audience in long flower swing.

DOUGLAS MCLEAN IN

Douglas Mclean in "One A Minute, lively comedy drama. is the Strand attraction for the rest of the week. One a Minute" is a photoplay with real fun built around a great idea. It is a drug store comedy. about a young fellow who inherits a poorly stocked drug store from his father and one that is fast being frozen out by com petitors.
 Almost immediately when Jemmie,' 2erstwhile Douglas Mclean. appears On the scene it becomes a foregone conclusion that he is not going to al low his new inheritance to go through the freezing process. Just how he means to prevent it makes the sus- pense at tho beginning. And when Jimmie lands on a most unusual plan to save his drug store and at the same time win the admiration of his girl, enter excitement and rapid sTe- fire fun.
 Douglas Mclean goes through the entertaining production with his usual winning smile and humorous fox terrier air. He is comically grandiloquent in all the scenes that gradually mark his rise to the biggest man and druggist in town.
