JURY HANGS FIRE IN
LYCEUM THEATER CASE
Continued from page -

tive.
Mrs. Murray finished her testi-
mony by stating that she had left the
theater after viewing some parts of
the moving picture, and had gone
back to work. At this point, court
was adjourned for the morning.
Similar testimony.
At 2 p. m. when court resumed,
Miss Elizabeth Murray took the
stand. Her story agreed in all essen
tial details with that of Mrs. Murray,
but she described also the manner
in which the three young ladies had
been prevented from taking the seats
which had been bought.
After being refused tickets on the
grounds that no tickets on the main
floor were being sold for the con-
tinued performance as there was
none, Miss Murray, together with the
other two young ladies, was given a
main floor ticket just purchased by
Mrs. Murray.
They approached the box and Miss
Murray dropped her ticket, but the
usher put his hand across the receiv-
ing box before Mrs. Martin, and Mrs.
Minnie Ward, the other members of
the party, could drop tickets.
This usher, Smith, pointed to the
balcony, and said, This way for you
folks"
But we have main floor tickets, -
protested the group.
Cant help it," rejoined the man;
I'm not here to argue with you peo-
pie. You may get your money back
if you don't wish to sit in the bal
cony." This the young ladies did not
do, but kept the tickets for evidence
Story cOrrObOrated.
The stories of Mrs. Margaret Mar
tin and Mrs. Minnie Ward, the other
witnesses of the state, were practical
ly the same. Manley Rhodes and Eu-
gene Jackson, Jr. were also called BY
the state, and testified that discrimi-
nation had been ptactised against
them at the Lyceum theater.
Court was adjourned at 5 p. m.
Thursday morning, court was in
order at 10 a. m.
Smith, the ticket taker, against
whom charges were preferred by Mrs.
Martin, took the stand and stated
that he was not guilty of the charges
of race discrimination.
Miss Black, ticket seller at the Ly-
ceum, also testified that she had not
practised discrimination against the
complainant. Cross-examination last
ed throughout the morning and aft
ernoon.
After very strong plea by County
attorney McGill for the state, and an
equally effective plea by the attorney
for the defense, the case was turned
over to the jury at 4:10 p. m.

Feathered Criminals

One of the greatest enemies of the
angler is the cormorant. This ugly bird
is a skilled fish catcher and has, more
over, a gourmand's appetite. A pair Of
these criminals will seriously deplete
a trout stock in very short time, If
allowed to 60 unmolested.
Viciousness is associated with the
eagles and vultures, but not so often
with the swan, although every one
knows that it Is bad-tempered bird
as a rule. There was recently case,
however, of swan that attacked a
man in a motor car 1t broke the wind
shield, and then broke the drivers
nose with a blow from it's wing Of
such force that it rendered the man
unconscious.

Safety in Tall Buildings

A geological authority who has
given some special attention to earth
Quakes has given some consolation to
the people who are employed in the
very tall buildings - who have been
fearful of the II ~ in case of an
earthquake. He ngures it out that
those in a 200-foot structure are safer
than one 100 feet in height. The for
mer is just the height to correspond
with the period Of rocking of the
earth and therefore the structure re-
ceives the full force of the motion,
whereas in the taller buildings this
does not coincide with the swing of
the earthquake, and hence it is practi-
cally immune from danger.

BANKERS PICK
HOT SPRINGS
BY RICHARD HATTON

Two matters OF especial import
ance were arranged at special
meeting of the District Of Columbia
Bankers Association yesterday aft
ernoon. President Francis G 8 Ad
Olson announced that the eighth
annual convention of the associa
ton would be held at Hot Springs
va. June IT to 90, and the member
ship adopted the report Of a spe.
cial committee recommending that
the headquarters of the association
be moved to the Becker Building at
1914 + st. y. w.
The report of the COMMITTEES
named sometime ago by President
Addison was submitted by Chairman
L. p. McLachlen.
The committee recommended leas-
ing for a period of three years the
entire third floor OF the building
al 1914 r st. n. W., containing
5000 square feet of floor space and
hensive drawing indicating the ar
rangement OF the space as recon-
mended by the committee. This in
eludes offices for the officers of the
District of Columbia Bankers As
ISOLATION, large meeting or as
sen1bly room capable of acconmo-
dating the membership of the assoc
citation and cIassrooms for the use
of the Washington Chapter OF The
American Institute Of Banking.
One OF the main reasons for the
proposed enlargement of the quar-
fers of the association is the neceS-
sity of providing more room Tor
the increasing needs of the WASH
ington chapter Of the American In
stitute of Banking. The educational
work OF the local chapter OF the
A. l. b. has developed TO such an
extent that the large classes can
not be accommodated in the present
quarters. The class in public speak
ing. alone, has over 80 members
and nine other classes range from
20 to 10S students.
IN again selecting Hot Springs.
Va, as the place of meeting, mem
bers were largely influenced by the
splendid attendance figures last
wear. the convenience offered by
the hotel for the daily convention
sessions, and the excellent facili-
ties for golf. tennis and other
sports
