He passed beyond Tuesday at his
home here, of complications due to his
advanced age of rs years
Few Americans have had a more
interesting, varied. or useful career
than Richard Greener. Born in Phil
adelphia in 1874 of free parents. he
had a home environment and educa-
tional opportunities far out of the or
binary in those days of slavery. Short
ly after the close of the Civil War,
he was admitted to Phillips Exeter
Acadamy. the famous prep school, and
after graduating there. he entered
late at that institution. The event was
so unusual as to be chronicled all
over the country. In. and in touch

son, and Lowell. Mr.. Greeman, who
took keen interest in life and young
people up until his death, frequently
remarked as they gathered about him,
on the inspiration which these men

and secretary of the University of
South Carolina during reconstruction

from that institution. He was Dean
of Law Department, of Harvard Uni
versity and the first principal of Dun
bar high school, Washington. d. G.
Under the Mckinley and Roosevelt
administrations, he was both a ma
tional and international figure His
most signal service as a diplomat was
rendered as consul at Vladivostock.
Russia He was also u. s. Consul To
Bombay in 1898. During the Russian
Japanese War he officially represented
Great Britain and Japan, and because
of his service during the Chinese Box
er War in 1900. was decorated with
the order of Double Dragon by the
Chinese Government.
Returning to the United States, Mr..
Greener became Secretary to Gen.
Grant Monument Commission and had
charge of the erection of that fam
Gus memorial. He was Editor of the

DR.. GRASSLAND, REPUBLI-
CAN APPOHNTEE REDUCED
TO MERE CLERK.

Washington. D. c.. May 11.-Coming
to Washington last September as a
Special Expert" without knowledge
of the amount of work that he would
have to do; being placed in charge of
all the activities concerning Colored
ex-soldiers; having been placed in
large spacious quarters on the eleventh
floor of the Veterans Bureau building
and then reduced to one branch of
the activities that he was supposed to
perform and sent back to a small Of
flee on the seventh floor, is the record
of DR.. J. r. A. Grassland, of st. Jo-
seph. Mo, now in charge of the re-
Mobilization of the Colored ex-soldiers
Late in the month of last Septem-
Der. DR.. Grassland was ordered to
make survey of schools where Color
ed soldiers were taking courses. On
his return from this trip he found
himself wothout a desk or even q
chair to sit on. Capt Campbell G.
Johnson who has charge Of division
on the 18th floor of the Veterans
building with large force occupying
three rooms, came to DR.. Crossland's
aid and offered him space in his
quarters until such time as DIR. Cross
land could get better fixed.
According to reliable information,
til DR.. Grassland became at logger
heads with Capt Johnson who is a
Civil Service man. 1t is then alleged
that the Especial Expert" filed
charges against Capt. Johnson of in
efficiency, which were later dismissed
as being unfounded. Later it is fur
Their alleged that DR.. Grassland filled
more charges against Capt. Johnson,
this time charging him with taking
papers out of a file, which Is a very
serious charge in the Government ser
vice. However. the boasd of investi-
gators it is alleged, also dismissed
this as being without foundation.
Seeing that it was impossible for
Dr. Grassland to get along with Capt.
Johnson who had befriended him, DR..
Crossland's department was moved
back to the 7th floor. in much smaller
quarters than ne had on the 18th
floor.
An investigation of the new quar-
ters now occupied by DR.. Grassland
also reveals the fact that his activi-
ties have also been reduced. Instead
of having charge of the soldiers in
sufance, claims. complaints. hospitali-
zation and rehabilitation. he now has
charge OF only the rehabilitation. The
list compiled in his office up to April
25th. showed that there are about
1856 men in this department who are
placed at the various schools.

DISABLED VETERANS INVITED TO CONFERENCE REFUSED ADMISSION
DECLARES AFRICAN FIGURES MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD
HUGHES DEFENDS $5,OOO,-
600 LOAN TO LIBERIA.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-Urging
extension of S5000.000 loan to LIZ
IBERIA, promised in 1918. as a point
of honor" Secretary Hughes told the
House Ways and Means Committee
there was no foundation for report !
that American Banking interests would
benefit mostly from the transaction.
Such reports had arisen at previous
hearings of the committee on the leg
islation.
Explaining that the loan was au-
thorized in 1918, and not put through,
Mr.. Hughes said, as a moral obliga-
ton the good faith of the American
Government was pledged to aid the
tered the war "at the instance of the
United States"
II never heard that any one in
terested in payment of bonds was be-
hind this proposal" said Secretary
Hughes" THE truth is that bonds
mounting to $1,59O,0OO will be re-
tired under this loan. I understand
that $5S.000 is the amount, out of the
$1.500.000 total, held in the United
States. My personal information is
that the figure is nearer $4,000.
A considerable amount of the Lii
berian bonds to be retired in event
the loan is made by the United States,
many, Holland and Great Britain and
are widely distributed among private
investors.
Nobody has anything to do with
advocating this credit for privte adj
vantage" said the Secretary. I'VE
could not a get first lien and ade-
quate protection unless the others
holding bonds were paid"
Failure to make the loan" Mr.
Hughes declared, would be lament
able with respect to the position of
the United States before the world
and most lamentable for Liberia, which
entered the war in 1917 on the side
of the Allies,
Mr.. Hughes said the question OF
helping Liberia was the only point
on which President Roosevelt, Taft
Wilson and Harding were in agree
ment and edded:
"There must have been some basis
for the credit when 1t was upheld by
such extraordinary occurrence"
Palm oil, a product needed in the
manufacture of munitions, found its
greatest source in Liberia, and Presi-
dent Wilson sought that republic al
an ally so as to get the oil product
he said.
After assuming the office of sec
rotary. Mr.. Hughes said he reviewed
the case and concluded that after the
United States had told Liberia the
