1ority of the contributions came from
members Of his race.
While Mr.. Richardson was, to q
large degree, giving his own views
on the subject, a letter which takes
decided stand against the Jones
Point location for colored bathers was
sent to the White House today by the
Civic Centers of Affiliated Associa-
tions, comprising a number of col
ored organizations in the city. The
letter, signed by w. d. Nixon. presi-
dent. and H. E. Barnett. secretary,
follows:
THE Civic Center of Affiliated Asso-
Citations of the District of Columbia,
composed of % organizations, are deep
ly concerned about the proposed ac-
ton to defeat the intent of Congress
in regard to both white and colored
citizens using the Tidal Beach for
bathing purposes.
Congress intended either the estab-
lishment of both beaches on the Tidal
Basin or the complete elimination of
all bathing in the Basin.
Congress has specified that both
beaches be demolished. With apparent
eargerness and seemingly undue haste
Col. Sheriff. removed one, but for
some reason failed to remove the
other.
IF, Mr.. President. it is lawful to re-
establish one section Of the Tidal Basin
Tor bathing purposes, it is equally law
ful to re-establish the other section.
AS American citizens who have
unfailingly supported this Government
In all its wars, willingly sacrificing
health and life that liberty might pre-

liar approval from Senator Warren
and Representative Madden, the chair
men of the two appropriation com

in opening the beaches at once and
would be very glad to do so.
In reference to the general subject
Of bathing in the District, my present
thought is that permanent bathing fa-
cilities for large numbers should be
provided for the white people at the
down stream end of the Georgetown
Brigde on the Virginia side Of the river
and for the colored people at Jones
Point, east of Washington Barracks
These two sites would then take care Of
the bulk of the bathers, and with the
provision of bathing pools in the next
year or two at the present Sixteenth
Street Reservoir site for white people
and the construction of a similar large
bathing pool by this office In the vicin-
ity Of Howard University for the col
ored people. would, think, solve the
whole question for a number of years
to come.

HEAVY CASUALTIES SEEN.
Attempt of Kwangtung Troops to
Land at Canton Fails.

CANTON, June II GP.-Fighting
day and night, armies of rival mill
tary leaders continued their battle for
possession Of Canton today with new
fury as telling blows were reflected
In increased casualties. A force of
Kwangtung troops in the attacking
Cantonese army was shot into the
river last night when an attempt was
made to make a surprise landing,
which was discovered by the defend
ing forces. Heavy casualties resulted
and at dawn many bodies were seen
In the river.
Additional foreign gunboats arrived
today, making q total of 10 in port.
The foreign warcraft Is being used to-
day to administer medical assistance
to wounded residents of the river
front.
Eighteen members of the Chinese
chamber of commerce here today
waited on British consular authori-
ties, presumably regarding the pres
ent situation, but the result OF the
call was not made known.
The defending Yunnanese troops as
sert their willingness to hand over
the government to the Kwangtung
wing of the attacking force. The Yum
nanese leaders agree the Kwang-
tungites are competent to handle
government affairs and the defend
ing forces would be willing to sup
port them.
Public opinion favors the retention
of the Yunnanese forces in charge OF
the government at Canton.

Letter to Blanton.
The following letter from Col. Sher-
rill to Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton of Texas was made public today:
My dear Mr.. Blanton:
Receipt is acknowledged Of your
letter Of June 8, tnclosing kilograms
from five Of your fellow members of
the District committee.
II am glad to know the attitude of
these members of Congress as to the
continuance of the bathing beach for
the white people and the authorization
of bathing facilities for the colored
people.
"It would be very helpful to me IL
you could secure favorable reaction
from Representative Madden, chair
man of the appropriations committee
Of the House, on this matter, for he
was most emphatic in saying to me
that Congress had clearly expressed
itself to be opposed to any bathing
whatsoever In the Tidal Basin this
Summer in view of the elimination Of
the colored bathing beach.
IT have no doubt whatever of the
legality of authorizing bathing this
Summer in the Tidal Basin and at
Jones Point, but l do feel that while
such action would be undoubtedly
legal, yet it would be directly contrary
to the implied wishes of Congress, and,
therefore, such leaders as the chair.
men of the appropriations committees
of the Senate and House should, it
seems to me. take the responsibility
for the establishment of these bath
ing facilities under this Office.
Personally l am in entire accord

pools for the use of all.
Here you have plenty of water,
and the matter of providing bathing
places can be handled cheaply, but 1t
has not been done. 1t is not reason
able, and I intend to do everything
possible to have something done this
summer, and will give my whole
heared support to the action when 1t
comes up for consideration in the
next Congress"
To See Wood.
Mr.. Updyke said that he was going
to have a conference today with
Representative Wood of Indiana, and
with him work out some solution of
the matter. Representative Wood Is
the right-hand man of Representa-
tive Madden, and Mr.. Updyke thought
that he and Representative Wood
might send a telegram to Mr.. Madden
outlining the situation, acquainting
him with the sentiment here and with
the sentiment of those congressman
who have been reached, which seems
to be in favor of opening the tempo
rary beaches this Summer.
Some objections to the establish
ing of a bathing beach for colored
persons at Jones Point have been
FolCeu Dy members Oh the COIOTeO
citizens associations because of the
distance of the proposed beach from
the center of the city and fear that
the water there could not be suf
ficiently purified, according to George
H. Richardson, president of the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations and a
members of the Citizens Advisory
Council.
Mr.. Richardson said 1t was his un-
derstanding that the decision of the
Advisory Council was that the col
ored people should decide for them
selves If and where a separate bath
ing beach should be established for
their use.
Mr.. Richardson said the matter
probably would be decided by the
Federation of Civic Associations at
its next meeting. on June 26. 1t is
not probable that a special meeting
Will be called before that time. he
said. A survey of the wishes of the
colored people should be taken. he
declared, before any action is taken
regarding a beach. Mr.. Richardson

In THE "GOOD OLD DAYS.
(By |. ID. BLAND, Editor The Union Leader ChicagO)

In the good old starvation days be-
fore Chicago car men became mem
bers of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes, we received a wage Of II and
Fl cents an hour. Some of us receiv-
ed daily wage of $1.25 for IL and
IA hours work. We were paid no
overtime.
We were held at the barn during
snowstorms and emergencies, with no
pay except for actual platform work.
We might stay there all night and get
no work and we had to take out our
runs the next day.
We were dogged by spoilers, and
every week at the barn there was a
line of men half block long waiting
to see the "dog catcher" as we call
ed him, to be reprimanded for some
slight error in our work.
galleries of the city council and state
legislature to promote measures for
the company's benefit, and we didn't
dare call our souls our own.
We were the victims of arbitrary
Jules, intoerant bosses and political
manipulation. Our jobs were never
, secure.
Runs were signed up for us-we
had no say in the matter. Many of
these runs began early one day and
finished early the next. A miss
meant anything from being dropped
TO the foot of the extra list to a pen
atty of from 10 to 80 days.
We were assessed various amounts
out of our pay envelopes for dam
ages resulting from collisions OF for
breakage of any kind.
We deposited $50 with the company
when we were hired, which they kept
until we were fired or quit.
When one of our number died we
passed the hat to get enough money
to bury him. We were lucky to eat,
let alone save anything for rainy
day.

Low Rent Possible
Under New Law

New York-Apartments can
be built in this city to rent for
SO a room and pay fair return
on the investment. This has
been demonstrated by the Met
ropolitan life insurance. company
in it's report on a $1,000, 900
housing experiment.
The company operated under
a state law passed three years
ago which permits life insurance
companies to purchase land and
build apartment houses to a
limited extent, provided rents to
be charged did not exceed SO
per month per room.
In its report on this venture the
company said it is usual with real
estate men, builders and investors to
allow something for vacancies and
loss of rent.
"The company made no such allow
ance, believing that the low rentals
and the desirability of the houses
would practically eliminate this item" "
the report said. "The results have
proved that the company was right in
this assumption, for there has been
lost only $406.54 from this cause.
"The company intends at the end
Of each year to figure 6 per cent on
the then book values of the proper
ties, this amount to be used for in
come. Any amount that is earned
above per cent is to be credited to
the cost of the properties, thereby
making a considerable reduction each
year. This will enable it to meet the
full taxes beginning in 1882 and still
maintain about the same ratio of re-
duction of cost"
