V|RG|N|ANS OPPOSE
NEGRO BEACHPLAN
Senator Swanson and Rep
resentative Moore Head
Body Calling on Weeks.

Senator Swanson and Representative
Moore OF Virginia and three residents
OF Arlington county made a formal
protest to Secretary Weeks at the War
Department today against the proposed
establishment of a bathing beach for
the colored people of the District Of
Columbia at the riverside of the federal
reservation at Rosslyn.
They pointed out that the site in
question Is near the southern approach
to the new Georgetown, bridge, on the
direct line Of travel between the Dis
trict and Virginia, already badly con-
gested on account of the narrowness Of
the entrance to the bridge and heavy
traffic on three important highways
centering at that point. -----
The establishment of a public ba tn
ing beach there. and the fact that
three railroads are to have terminals
on the Virginia approach, they ar
gued. would lead to further conges-
tfon and interfere seriously with the
proper handling of general traffic
secretary Weeks told the delega-
tfon that he would. take their repre-
sentations under advisement and see
what could be done to meet the wishes
or the various interests involved He
has been informed, he said, that many
or the colored. residents of the Dis
trlct also object to the establishment
or the beach at RosslYn.

been working as still cleaners at the
Standard Refinery. Juan was caught
about l O'Clock yesterday afternoon
while at work, Elias was caught at 5
o'clock as he was leaving his shack
on his way to the refinery.
Mr.. Lydon. who is the Casper rep

ton from New Mexico authorities was
to the effect hat the men were con.
stanuy on guard and for that reason
that every precaution would be needed
in arresting them.
The Mexicans when interviewed by
a Tribune representative gave their
names as listed above. Elias did all
the talking. giving his age as 2s and
that of his brother as %. He dis
claimed any idea of their having been
in Casper last summer or at any time
before their present visit. He said
that they had beef in Casper at this
time for about fou months. h a pre-
vious to that they had worked on a
ranch near Glenrock.
According to the statement of Elias.
they have a father Vincent Archuleta
} Amalia, N. NJ. Elias says that he
has a wife and three children at An
tlnito. Colo. Farming. strengthening
and mining seem TO have made up the
occupation of the two Archuleta
brothers during the past few years.
