TO Be COLORED
Presidents Secretary Assures
N. A. A. G. p. Staff Will
Be COlOred
PRESIDENT SETTLES MATTER
Says Trained Col0red Profes-
sional Men Can Now Show
Their Capacity.

New York, May 1.-President Har-
ding has broken silence on the Tuske-
gee Hospital situation to inform the
National Association for the advance
ment Of Colored People that the insti-..
tuition on Tuskegee grounds for the
care of colored veterans of the world
war is to be manned entirely by col
ored personnel, including colored doc
tors and nurses. This decision ends
the fear that has prevailed for some
time that an attempt would be made
through the Veterans Bureau to man
the colored hospital with white doc
tors and nurses leaving only menial
labor for colored people.
"Completely Colored Personnel"
The letter of Mr.. Christian, directed
to the association, containing the
news, is as follows:
'THE WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON.
"April %, 1923.
"My Dear Mr.. Seligmann:
"Your communication of April 10Th
has been submitted to the President
and he directs me to make reply and
say that the task of selecting and
completing the colored staff for the
management and administration of
Tuskegee hospital is we'll under way.
1t is the plan of the Director of the
Veterans Bureau, with the approval
of the President, to man this institu-
ton completely with colored per-
sonnel. It is not an easy matter to
perfect such an organization under
the limitations of the civil service, but
the program is being worked out in
most encouraging and gratifying way.
The Tuskegee experiment is going to
afford the trained representatives of
the colored race to give proof of their
capacity and efficiency in highly i'm
portant public service.> =
"Yours sincerely,
"(Signed) GEO. B. CHRISTIAN, Jr.,
Secretary to the President"
Letter Follows Appeals
The letter from Mr.. Christian fol-
lows two appeals to President Har-
ding, sent by the N. A. A. P. c., both
pointing out that the effect of depriv-
ing colored doctors and nurses of the
opportunity to treat colored war vet
Grams, in hospital designed for them
exclusively and built upon ground
given to the government by Tuskegee
Institute, would be most unfortunate.

HEALTH CITY is
FLOOD STRICKEN
CIoudburst and Fire Cause of
100000 Disaster at Hot
Springs, Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark.-Reports of the
loss of life came through railway men
in communication with repair crews
seeking to open line of communica-
ton into Hot Springs and from Hot
Springs resident marooned at Benton,
25 miles west of here, between Little
Rock and Hot Springs, endeavoring to
reach his home.
The nearly frantic population was
as ignorant long after dawn of the
extent of the loss of life and damage
as it was in the midst of a hideous
night when the disaster was at its
height To date II lives are known to
have been lost, but it is believed GER
tain there will be added many more
when the food torrents recede fully.
Confusion was still of such intensity
as to prevent any concentrated rescue
work.
Heavy property damage was done,
according to brief report over COM
mercial wire which was received here.
Communication was broken after be-
ing maintained but moment and the
stricken city again became completely
isolated.
The flood followed cloudburst and
the waters rushed down from the hills
in torrents, according to the meager
report, which added that fire broke out
in the business district and wiped out
nearly block.
