PROBE OF KILLINGS
Second Inquiry Into Miami Incl

Kellogg.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Upon request of the British Ambas-
sador here, Secretary Kellogg has called
upon the Governor of Florida for a
second investigation into the killing Of
two Bahama negroes by police officers
at Miami on separate occasions
Bahaman named Memo was killed
In March, 1927, and in April of this
year another Bahaman n3med Simon
Major was killed. The first investiga-
ton was made by Miami officials and
transmitted to the British government
through the State Department. The
report indicated the negroes were killed
by the police officers either while resist
ing arrest or In self defense.
The reports were made by a police
official named Quigg In bringing the
matter to the attention of the State De-
partment second time the British
government pointed out that Quigg
was under indictment IN Miami for
killing other negroes in jail there and
second investigation of the cases was
asked.
The British government feels that
damages are due to the families OF the
two negroes. believing they were killed
without due cause.
Secretary Kellogg is awaiting a re-
port on the two cases from the Cover
nor OF Florida.

are Highly go. A boy or girl who
enters a room with bent shoulders,

poor impression on the people receiving

walk, carry himself with grace and
dignity, expresses power, and that al
ways attracts people Nobody likes to

An erect posture. upright without
stiffness, is an indication of fine con-
troll of body, and that cannot happen
without fine control of mind; for the
mind governs the body and is reflected
in all that the body does. A slouchy

A graceful carriage, the case Of
