WASHINGTON SAYS IT'S UP TO
CANADA,

Washington, Feb. 24.-The eXtradi-
tion from Canada of Matthew Bullock.
wanted in North Carolina on charge
Of attempted murder is in the hands of
Canadian courts, according to State De
pnrtment officials.
These officials said today that the
treaty between the United States AMI
Canada providing for extradition of al.
legged criminals specifies that n primu
facie case Of an eXtraditable offensp
must be made out by either nation
seeking fugitive from justice. There
have been instances in past history
when Canada has accepted afTdavits
submitted by American authorities and
has turned over into the custody Of the
United States the person or persons
thus sought.
The matter Of requiring oral testi.
mony regarding the offense for which
Bullock is sought. however, officiqls
said, is one purely for the Canadian
court to decide and should that court
require the presence Of witnesses to ties
t1fy regarding the olfense for which
Bullock is sought this government can
not we'll take any other position than
acknowledge the courts authority.

A.SPEAKING SILENCE,

The unbroken silence Of the Hon.
Henry Lincoln Johnson. member OF the
Republican National Committee from
Georgia has been the subject of consid
cradle discussion between Editor john
Mitchell, ire Of The Richmond Planet,
and Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis
of the Atlanta Independent. The form
or contended that al open break hal
taken place between the latter and the
National Committeeman, which intlicat
ell split in the Republican organizu
ton of, Georgia. Editor Davis repealed
the Impeachment with the following re
servations: g.:
You are wrong, Brother Mitchell.
There Is no split in the organization,
for himself the policy of sitting in
humiliation at the, feet of the lily
whites and undertaking to stand at
the same time Mt the head Of the col-
umn of thirteen million Negro citizens
as their political leader He has adopt
ed the policy of running with the lily
whites and holding with the organi3a-
ton OF which he is leader. The organi-
cation In the state is sOlidly agains.
the policy Of vacfllation and surrender
and there Is no personal break betwee \
the Editor and Mr.. johnson. Il is not
that We love the Colonel less, but that
we love the rights OF our group more
than we do the personal ambition OF
any one individual.
Il is Il question OF 1rtrc,rle With us
that enyolves the entire races political
status for all time to come We are
thinking in terma Of n thousand years
and not Of political meal for one man.
We love Mr.. Johnson and vii serve
him personally whenever we can; but
we cannot subscribe to his political
leadership; we cannot adopt nor fol
low his policies; we belive in no sur
render Of our rights to any man or set
Of men. The rights Of all first and jobs
for the individuals last.
Mr. Johnson is a public servant and
directly accountable to the Republicans
Of Georgia.; and if the President has
not treated him right-and the coun.
try knows tit is his business to re-.
port to us and let lis fight his battle
and not acquiesce in or surrender tho
rights Of all Of us for peace with an AL
ministration that has violated every
promise it made when bidding for
votes.
If this declaration Of independence
by his former political henchmen does
not serve to break the silence maintain
ed so strictly by the Georgia leader, We
shall have to seek solution Of the sit
uation by consulting the narrative Of
Uncle Remus" as Interpreted by anoth

Leaves 1t to the Public

In reply to the exclusion Of n Color
ed minister by the Shilo Baptist
church Of hiinagro, Va which was
published III your Register and also
Daily Bee January 81. 1922.
TO the readers Of the said papers,
l feel that would dc myself an act OF
injustice should fail to reply to that
article since the writer failed to state
why was expelled and my license re
voked from the Shiloh Baptist church.
that you should know the cause.
l shall state first that fail to geI q
fair deal by the moderator on the
night of my tria! There werr fifteen
Baptist Churches represented in the
mutual council, and several other min
listers of the Gospel present and when
committee of finding was chosen,
the Moderator selected them from five
churches which, consisted of five
preachers and four deacons from
the same school or schoolmates OF the
said Rev M. G. Allen who was involv-
ed against me in q personal difficulty
In selecting this committee, several
able ministers who had been preach
ing many years were overlooked and
younger ones accepted.
My charge for which I was expelled
and licenses revoke are as follows:
First, for carrying the church pas
tor, Rev. M. G. Allen to court to be
tried by unbelievers. + shall say that
the Rev. Allen owed me CIV. M. Betts)
a big bill for groceries, which he fail
ed to pay for and refused to give any
explanation what he would do about
it.
Second charge, for inferring or say
ing that I believe that the pastor, Rev.
Allen which is the principal Of Alma
gro, Va. public school, was guilty of in
sulting little girl. In reference to
this Rev. IN. G. Allen gave one of the
school girls Is cents in school and her
mother brought the money back and
asked him not to do so again.
Third charge for giving aid and
sympathiZing with those who sought
to blacken the pastors character.
How and what ways Rev. M. G. AL
len had threatend the father and broth
er Of the girl and that they better not
approach him about the matter AMI
the father Of the five children wanted
to get his children back in school,
when he came to me wv. M. Betts)
and asked me would phone to one of
the county school trustees to tell him
that he wanted to see him. I phoned
for him ut his expense.
For the charges stated above was
expelled from the church. Aside from
taking him to court. I deny tho other
charges and leave the public to decide
whether I was fairly treated.

Canadian justice in the case Of Mat

man described by Governor Morrison
us a desperate criminal until some
evidence other than atlidavits shall
have been submitted to prove that the
charges against Bullock have sufficient
'busis to justify this RETURN to the

! In this.case, "as IN others in which
serious charges are made against Il

mary rule has been followed and oral
evidence has been requested. This as

PURE WHITE AMARYLLIS
UNFOLDS ITS BIG PETALS
Result of Many Years Work on
Exhibit for Public Today
at Show

The pure white amaryllis is out to-
day and can be seen by all visitors a,
the Department of Agriculture show
18th and B streets northwest, from 8
am. to pm. daily. the rest of the
week. This single bloom is the re-
ward for ten years work by experts
in the government 81 eenhouse and is
attracting here botanists from all
over the world. More than a dozen
commercial growers have already as
sured Dr. William A. Taylor. chief OF
the bureau of plant industry. that
they intend to develop this pure white
strain commercially. 1t will be known
asthe Mrs. Warren G. Harding.
All day yesterday groups of flower
lovers gathered around this single
plant among the 1.So0 in the show
as it was gradually unfolding its
petals. Supt. Byrnes Of the green
houses for the Department of Agri-
culture has been guiding the efforts
of the gardeners for ten years to pro-
duce a pure white bloom. He stayed
up nearly all night and was at the
greenhouse very early today to exam
Inc the blossom closely to see il there
was any tint of the customary red
siades-and was relieved to find that
they had all been bleached out by
cross polinization.
In spite of the rain yesterday,
