Illness. Gerhardt performed local

peer of any sandlOt aggregation in
Washington.
Back in 1876 he was with Louis

was manaC ger. captain and second
baseman of that club. and one OF
its most popular players to boot
From there he moved on to Cincin-

on the roster of the New York
Giants.

those days, and the fans called him

wasn't Joe's fault.
In 1887 Joe began to slow up
and was dropped from the Giants
roster not long before they achieved
their first big honor and won a
pennant in 1883. Later he became
a National umpire.
Going back to the Creightons
there are three members of that
aggregation still living in wash

DEFENDS NEGRO RACE.

Paper for False News Report.

Paper for False News Report.
To the Editor of The Star:
A leading Baltimore paper printed a
scarehead news story attributing a
brutal. fiendish assault occurring in
Washington recently to a negro, a
member of the Sd Cavalry regiment
stationed at Fort Myer. Every one in
Washington knows that no negro. SO
far as is known, is a member of a
white cavalry regiment and that it is
a white trooper who is charged with
this crime. Many Baltimoreans, how
ever, are likely to strengthen their
convictions concerning the criminal
propensities of the negro race.
1t has become SO easy to disturb the
mental processes and equilibrium of
many, of the readers of canards like
these, that suspicion is seldom near
enough to the real criminal to render
1t is the easiest way out Of many
difficulties to place the blame on some
indescribable negro. and this is often
carried to- the point where sacrifice
is necessary to avoid the truth be-
coming known. There are any num-
ber of cases which have occurred in
Washington and its environs were the
orderly processes of investigation and
law have disclosed that a colored man
has been charged with crime to pro-
tect some real criminal.
No self-respecting negro community
desires to shield a criminal charged
with so dastardly a crime; but when
newspaper publicity makes II the oc-
casion for the venom of race hatred
to assert itself in intimidating and
offending innocent groups of peaceful
citizens. it is only to be expected that

Charges by A. A. Sprague, chairman

that an amendment providing thai

Question OF Valuation.

moved heaven and earth to kill it.
Many powerful interests were organ
ized for and against it, and many So
called experts were called in to tes-
tify against and for it. Then came
to the front a compromise plan, or
substitute, namely, the wholesale price
in the American markets of the for
eien imported merchandise. Added
to this was what is called flexible
tariff" suggested by the President
and his advisers. A flexible tarln
is one based on foreign valuations,
but giving the President 5o power 0sr cent n9
raise or lower the tarlH oo per cent
on thirty days notice
The American valuation plan, as
embodied in the Fordney bill, is moth
ing new. 1t was tried for a snort
period in the early: history OF the
country and urged again IN osa is4s' IN
1850. in 1851 and 1852. In 1880 the
New York Chamber of Commerce sug-
gested the assessment on the value
Of the imported merchandise In the
principal markets of the United
States" In 1882 American valuation
was suggested again by Henry F..
French, then assistant secretary of
hn r haf
the ways and means committee in
1909, 1918, 1920 and 1921. A majority
OF the ways and means committee
adopted the plan in the Fordney tariff
bill. believing that existing conditions
warranted that change. Will this
proposition be the central battle
ground in the coming fight between
the two houses?
Exhaustive Studies Made.
The Senate committee on finance
has spent much time and money as
certainiug the American wholesale
market price of leading articles COM
parable with imported articles. The
battle over this enc proposition of
American valuation has delayed the
reporting of the bill many weeks.
Finally, the committee decided to pre-
pare two columns of rates. one based
on the wholesale market price of the
imported merchandise (called modi-
fication of the Fordney plan)- and the
other based on the foreign valuation
plan. Obviously. the rates in the for
mer column are lower than in the
latter column, since the valuation in
the first is higher than in the second.
The battle of the tariff in the Sem
ote in conference and perhaps in the
ways and means committee again will
be long and fierce. Powerful inter-
ests will be arrayed on both sides and
debate will be well-nigh endless. The
Fordney bill contained 345 pages
when reported and about $500 articles
on both the dutiable and f1ee list.
The Senate bill, which. follows the
framework Of the Fordney bill SO far
as titles, schedules and paragraphs

President Harding has become con-
WINGED that single term of six years
for American Presidents, with no re-
election thereafter. would better serve
the interests of the people than the
present method.
Close friends who have discussed
the subject with him say that one
year in offa,e has revealed to him so
many phasee of the presidency which
would be beinefited by single term
that from an 'mpersonal basis he is
of the opinion now that consutu-
tional amendment providing for the
change would be a good thing. Rep
resentative Wood of Indiana has al
ready introduced bill covering such
an amendment to the federal Con-
stitution, but it takes two-thirds
vote of the Senate and House. as
well as approval by the legislatures
of three-fourthS of the states OF the
Union. to make the change effective;
How would it ever get started
to become a candidate for reelection
for a four-year term or could the
amendment be made to cover the
present term of Mr.. Harding? These
questions have been discussed by
members of the cabinet and constitu-
tional lawyers in inner circles of the
government and many of them Sus-
sest that if it would not be miscon-
strued they think the same amend
ment the Constitution could auto
matically prolong by two years Mr
Harding's term and make him ineflgi-
BILE for reelection.
Ill Effects In Elections.
There are too many ill effects from
presidential elections" said one infiu-
entail member of the cabinet today
, There is always a let-down in busl-
ness in a presidential year. -Four
years is too frequent an interval. Six
years would give President the op-
portunity to put through complete
program. 1 believe also that repre-
sentatives should be elected for four
years and senators for six years. We
get better results in the Senate where
i the term of Office is six years than IN
the House where everybody is up foi
