he was president also and which is
now defunct
While witnesses for the prosecution
vehemently denied that the arrest of

ing from jealousy within the organi-
cation. the defense contends that Boy

BYRON STARTLES ADMINISTRA-

(By A. N. P.)

Chicago, Ill, April 27-Frank A.
J. yron made a quiet trip here from
washington recently to decline ap-
pointment as Deputy internal Revenue
inspector. Federal officials expressed
surprise as refusals of this sort have
been rare. but Mr.. Byron had an emf
nently good reason for his refusal.
The position which he holds in Wash
inston is infinitely better than any
thing which the administration H Of
fering under its federal patronage in
district Offices, even the salary be-
ing thousand or two higher. Mr.
Byron who is a Chicagoan has the
distinction of serving as clerk to the
House Committee on Naval affairs,
his appointment marking the first
time COlored man has ever held a
position as clerk to any committee
He won the position through merit
and because he knew the work having
served the committee in various ca
pacities for the past 20 years. Mr.
Chas. Pickett for years trusted con-
tidential secretary to the late Sena-
tor Cullen and now with Senator Nc
kinley is credited with being the
power which brings things to pass for
Illinois, While he works modestely
and quietly, Mr.. Pickett is always on
the qui vive to do the thing which can
be counted to be of the greatest good
of the group.
