Holds Figures Incorrect.

Continuing along this line, Mr.. Sellin
asserted that prison records may show
a higher percentage of colored inmates
because more negroes are arrested
without real cause than whites, and
often do not receive as fair a trial" 4"
He also pointed out that many negroes
do not have money to pay small fines
and consequently go to Jail, whereas
the white man can generally pay the
fine.

Discusses Labor Question.
Labor unionists are more willing to
organize the negroes than the negroes
are to be organized" John p. Frey of
the American Federation of Labor said
in an address before the conference
last night, after remarking that the
federation had been charged with not
having been sufficiently active in Or
ganization work among the negroes.
A large part of the opposition to eff
forts to unionize the negroes originates
with the negro leaders themselves, he
declared. -Four or five years ago
convention of negro editors adopted a
resolution urging negroes not to Join
labor unions" he said.
Community Fairgrounds, operated
under proper supervision, are a most
effective means of eliminating juvenile
delinquency the conference was told by.
Roy Smith Wallace of the Playground
and Recreation Association of America.
He quoted statistics to show that the
number of community Fairgrounds, for
both white and colored, had more than
doubled in the past four years.

view the many ancient strata contain
ing the fossils.
"These strata contain the fossilizeo
bones of animals from most of the i'm
portant .eras of the past, starting with
the Permian period, more than 75,000,-
600 years ago, and continuing to the
comparatively recent Miocene period
closing perhaps 100000 years ago,
said the report which the discoveries
issued.
The report added that in one bed
representative of the TriaSSic period
the first age of reptiles, were to be
found remains of the reptiles which
began replacing the first amphibiar
inhabitants of the earth. In another
stratum, representative of the Creta-
ceous period when the reptiles hao
overrun the earth, were found fossils
of dinosaurs, crocodiles and other an
cient creatures. Later ages, the Paleo-
gene, when primitive mammals Swarmeo
over the land, and the Miocene, wher
the primitive horse. the rhinocerouS
and other more recent specimens hao
appeared, also were represented:
1.-THE strata represents full history
of evolution" the report concluded.
The California men said they would
reveal the location of the fossil area
when they had collected all the Speci-
mems needed for their work. Until
that time, they intended to keep II
secret from a curious public. which
might interfere with their collection
work. The expedition was financed by
Miss Annie NJ Alexander, patron
of the university.

introduced other speakers.
In stating to Senator Swanson ano
his associates the object of the meeting
NTr Jarper called attention to the sug-
gestion made by President Coolidge for
q Summer retreat for Presidents of the
United States. He emphasized the fact
that the people of Northern Virginia
had no promotion scheme or propagan-
da to sell or any property whatsoever TO
give awav. and that they simply wanted
to urge upon Congress to put in proper
shane to meet the comforts and re-
ouirements of the President.
Mount Weather is already Govern
ment reservation, containing 83 acres.
and only so miles from Washington,
800 feet above sea level. 1t has nsn,
ing. hunting, horseback riding ana
golf courses and fox hunting in the

Summer Conditions Cited.
Attention was called to the fact that

Senator Swanson said today the best
wav to approach the problem would be
TO have Congress create a commission
to decide first as to the need for a
Summer White House and then to en-
power the commission to determine
where it should be located. The Vir-
ginia Senator indicated he was giving
the proposal careful consideration, put

FIGURES ON CRIME
HELD ERRONEOUS
Speakers Say Wrong Picture
Is Given of CoIored Race
by Prison Statistics.

Statistics purporting to show that
the negro is greater criminal than
the white are grossly inadequate and
have not been autheticated, Thorsten
Sellin of the University of Pennsylvania
told this mornings session of the
National Interracia1 Conference, meet
ing in the auditorium of the Interior
Building.
Virtually every writer on the negro
question has assumed that the colored
man has more pronounced criminal
tendencies than the white, Mr.. Sellin
declared.
This belief has by now come to be
accepted as a scientific truth by the
public. AS matter of fact few stu
dents of the race problem have at
tempted to examine the validity of the
statistical sources upon which this
belief is resting"
