VARE'S NEMESIS
NOT TO OPPOSE
CRUNDY CHOICE
Norris Thinks Appointment
'DiSgfaCefuI,' but Not
Illegal.

BIZ ScripUs-Hoto1rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Al-
though he REGARDS Governor Fishers
contemplated appointment of Jo-
seph r. Grundy to the senate va
cancy from Pennsylvania as dis
graceful proceeding" and although
he thinks that the Governor is
making fool of himself" Senator
George w. Norris prog, Neb.), who
led the successful fight against Will
liam S. Ware, will not join the group
OF senator's who are seeking TO pre-
vea.t Grundy's admission.
SENATOR Norris says that Grundy's
activities for thirty years as a tariff
lobbyist, his admission that he COL
lected money for Republican cam
paign funds on the theory that the
contributors later would be reward
ed with legislative favors, and his
personal contribution Of $4,000 to
Governor Fishers campaign fund
constitute no legal or constitutional
grounds for barring him.
Senator Norris views are shared
by Senator Borah, Senator Robin
son, the Democratic leader, and
other republicans. Senator Nye,
progressive of North Dakota, feels
that Grundy's activities are a
barrier against his admission he
and small group are preparing
to oppose admission.
eff Mr.. Grundy comes here armed
with proper credentials from the
Governor of Pennsylvania, properly
obtained, there is no reason why he
should not be admitted" Senator
Norris said.
''I will not try to stop him. Mr..
Grundy'S activities as disclosed to
the senate are not, in my judge
ment, legal inhibition against his
admission.
The Grundy case is no wise COM
parable with the Ware case. Ware
was accused of spending an eX-
cessive sum to obtain the nominal
ton. His activities in raising money
for Governor Fishers campaign and
for the Republican national COM
mittee were not in connection with
his obtaining the appointment to
the senate"
Senator Norris was one of the
group which Grundy, in testimony
before the lobby committee, said
came from backward" states, but
Norris does not hold this against
him.
His views are his own" Norris
said.
THE moving thing In my judg-
ment is that under the law and the
Constitution, we have no legal OBJ
lection to him.

The funeral of John Mitchell, Jr.,
who entered into rest Tuesday, De-
cember 8, 1929, at 6 A. NJ, just as
the sun was peeping over the horizon,
letting the world know that another
day had dawned the soul of this war
rior, chieftain and race defender,
leaped from this tenament OF clay
and he passed into that great beyond,
where no battles are to be fought
took place at Fifth st. Baptist
Church Thursday December 5 1929.
The news quickly flashed over the
city and the public was dumb
founded, because very few knew of
his illness. While he has not been
in the best of health for some time,
still it was only on Thanksgiving
Day, November %, 1929, that he
gave up and had to be carried from
his newspaper office, "The Richmond
Planet, to his home, SIS n. Third
Street. Medical skill and the tender
nursing of loved ones and friends
could not ward off this blow. His
remains laid in state until Thursday,

Church, of which the deceased has
been member for a number of
years. At the church this immense
edifice was crowded with friends.
Colored business men, professional
men and women touched elbows with
their less fortunate brother and
sister and all came to pay the last
sad tribute of respect to one who had
stood out and fought for the rights
of his race. The services were
opened by Rev. C. A. Cobb, of the
Nit. Calvary Baptist Church, lining

of dauntless courage, and believed
that eventually the race would come
into it's own. He was bold and a
great warrior, but religion would
soften his heart and he believed in
the old fashion religion.
To the family, he said: Call upon
me in the day of your trouble and
l will deliver you. This finished a
most masterful delivery, and he in
troduced the Rev. w. H. Stokes, Phi.
D., pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist
Church, who said: What was John
Mitchell, Jr.'s contribution to his
people. / remember years ago he
snatched some of our race from i'm
pending death, he made a contribu-
ton for law and order. He did not
purposely plan to deceive any man.
He played his part in the City Coun-
Gil. A noble man has fallen and it
will be long time before Richmond
will produce another John Mitchell,
Jr.
John Mitchell, Jr., died with his
boots on. Why should one fuss be-
cause door is open for fuller life.
He has fought a good fight, he had
his opposition and he had foes. Rev.
A. S. Thomas, former pastor of the
Sharon Baptist Church, recited the
23rd Psalm. The choir sang very
sweetly one verse of 81 Am a
Strange Here; Heaven Is My Home
Rev. Junius L. Taylor, rector of the
st. Phillips P. E. Church, said that
in the States he had travelled, John
Mitchell, Jr., had given the people in
the rural districts great inspiration.
The greatest monument to him is in
the hearts of the men and women he
has led. Only when you know both
sides of mans life are you in posi-
ton to critic, then only spiritually.
He has walked into higher life.
Remarks by Rev. A. w. Brown, D.
D., pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Bap-
tist Church: That he was his per-
sonal friend and deserved front
rank place in any audience and was
a practical Christian.
Ny friend is not dead, but is liz
ing on; DR.. Gordon B. Hancock, pas
tor Of the Moore Street Baptist
Church, said. We met here to pay
our respect to our defender, our
chieftain, not only for Richmond,
Va, but for the nation. John

tie of life with his shield dented, !,
sword bent, his sandals slit and his
armor pierce both front and back,
by friends and foes, but like John
Brown of old, his spirit will go
marching on. Rev. J. T. Hill, D. D.,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church,
said: knew so many grand and
glorious things of our fallen hero
and hope the eulogy delivered would
bring US to that conception OF his
great worth. Hon. Thomas II. Reid,
Grand Chancellor of the K. of P,

this tribute to his fathers friend, for
both had fought the battles Of the
order for forty years together. The

sent to the family by Judge Edmund
Waddill, senior judge of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
Solo, "We Shall Meet Beyond the
River" was sung by Prof. w. B.
Smith.
The family letter expressing their
sorrow and his tender care of them
was read by Rev. A. A. Hector, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church.
Rev. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, was selected to
preach the funeral, as the Fifth
Street Church was at present with
out a pastor. He called attention OF
the display in the Lawntown Shoe
window, by Mr.. w. H. Walton, man.
ager, to let the city know that great
man had fallen. He continued his
remarks by saying that he was a
citizen of no mean ability, political
leader, business man, the champion
of human rights, who frequently ap-
peared in our conferences and
churches has fallen. The best way
to consider him was as a Christian
warrior. He took his text from
l Samuel, 20 chapter, verse:
"There is but step between me and
DEATH" First-Or nearness to
death. Second-The necessity of
our reliance on God, we must meet
death. Third-To submit to His
will. Like David, he discovered his
inability to escape death and he saw
the necessity of relying upon God
and at the close he calmly submitted
to the power of His Heavenly Father.
He was bold, loyal to his God, as was
the servant David, and in his repre-
sentative way, represented our
brother as warrior, battling for
what he conceived to be the rights
Of his race and broad enough to
battle for the human rights of all the
people.
Man is frail, mortal and is a
sinful creature Man is to consider
three things: Mortality, he has a
few days to live, a long side o.
eternity. Sixty-eight years was a
short time compared to eternity.
Suffering: We are born in sin, and
we must consider suffering. That
man born of a woman was full Of
trouble. Unrest is the natural man
daily feeling, not satisfied with the
accomplishments of few years ago.
He pushes on. The names of the eX-
ternal troubles of man are legion.
He quoted the familiar hymn,
BLESSED Are the Dead Who D lie In
the Lord''. Man as flower. Origin
of the flower is the earth, it is deli
cate, it's frailty, its end. Man as a
shadow. Time was measured by the
shadow on a dial, it never stands
still, so is man iourneying and ever
going onward. True estimate of the
enjoyment of time and eternity. He
can see that time will pass away.
We learn to improve the spiritual
opportunities as our stay here is get
ting short. If you are walking with
your hands in Gods hand when death
comes, you will walk with Him for
ever. He liked to DO things. He was
self-willed, fought in the open, and

idea, to protect his friends and neigh

became his sole mission In life. He
spent many weeks in New York and
in Denver in an effort to secure loans

Waggoner sought to raise funds for
his bank by insuring his life for $780,

that insurance as security for loans
without success. And she thought If
he could ride the crest a few more
months he could protect everybody, and
his thought then was If he could keep
the bank open until the suicide clause
In the policy had expired, there would

He believed then and does now that the
big banks in New York were in league

BRITISH NOW OK.
u. S. 1927 NAVY AIM
Gun Caliber Asked by Geneva
Then Was Refused, but Ac-
cepted This Year.

In insisting that the American Nays
fleet of 8-inch-gun' cruisers Of 10000
tons be limited to 10, the British gov
eminent is taking the figures which
once were arrived at by the American
Navy general board as representing the
requirements of this Nation.
These figures were put forward only
a little more than two years ago in the
midst of the controversy between the
United States and Great Britain on the
cruiser question at the tripartite naval
limitation conference at Geneva. Brit
ain opposed any S-inch-gun cruisers,
and it was upon that proposition in the
main that the parley broke down.
England proposed as its minimum re-
uuirement in cruisers total OF about
$50 900 tons The United States OBJ
jected to such a large tonnage, and
finally offered to limit its cruiser
strength to 255,000 tons, to be made up
of Is 10O00-ton, 8-inch ships to be
built, and the 10 7,500-ton, 6-incn
ships then in commission.
The cutting Of the American flgure
to such low level was made after the
Navy general board had complied with
a request from the Coolidge administra-
ton to determine the number OF 8-inch
gun ships with wide cruising radius
which would be necessary to balance
the battle feet and clear the channels
of commerce of raiders.
There is no indication that the board
has changed its viewpoint as to the
necessary number of this type Of craft.
Great Britain has conceded this num-
Der in the present negotiations, and the
hitch now Is on the proposition OF
what character of ships Is to be con-
structed to make up the $4,000 tons
difference between the Geneva proposal
of the United States and the present
tonnage necessary to bring about equal
ity between the British and American
cruiser forces in 1886.
The board holds that the smaller
cruiser equipped with 6-inch guns fails
to meet American needs because OF its
limited cruising radius and its conse-
uuent leSsened value as force to COM
bat commerce raiders or to take its
place with the fleet during long-range
operations.
Thus far, in the present negotiations
at least, the administration is support
ing the general board in favor of the
8-inch gun ship, as against the 6-inch
gun craft. It is no secret that the
American Government would be willing
to forego the construction of the $4,000
tons now in controversy. However, the
British requirement of 339,00 tons Is
conceded, and this additional tonnage
is necessary to produce parity between
the fleets.
