BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, october emperor Hiri-
hito today signed the London naval
treaty. The imperial seal was affixed
to the document, thereby completing
Japanese ratification.
Premier Hamaguchi and Count Ma
kino, lord privy seal, were both present
at the simple ceremony.

United States having previously ratified
it. France and Italy were not included
in its more important provisions.
Signing followed a long investigation
of the pact and its implications by the
Privy Council, which yesterday noti-
fed the Emperor of its approval and
advised that he sign it.

umpire to start the game. AS soon as
the ball was in his hand the battery of
cameramen had him pose with his arm
extended in the act of pitching. This
picture taking took some little time.
Some of the more modest photograph

Says He Is Ready to "Sub-
stantiate Charges in Full"
Prober Asks Details.
RICHARDSON HOLDS
ACCUSER "ACTED QUEER"
Assistant Attorney General Holds
Kelley Had Been Invited to Take
Charge of Section Here.
By the Associated Press.


Ralph Kelley, former chief of the
Federal Land Office at Denver, who has
charged the Interior Department with
maladministration of oil shale lands
in Colorado, arrived in Washington to-
day and said he intended to Sub
stantiate in full" all his charges
Il not only intend to give details and
proof of my statements" Kelley said,
but I shall insist upon the opportunity
to do So"
Meanwhile, Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Seth w. Richardson, assigned to
investigate the charges, sought from
Kelley a statement of specific cases and
objections mentioned generally by him
in letter to Secretary Wilbur.
Kelley resigned at the same time
charging oil companies were attempting
to obtain illegally from the Government
concessions to Colorado oil shale lands
Secretary Wilbur suspended him and
asked an investigation, asserting the
charges were nonsense"
Answered Nye Letter.
Kelley said today he had answered
a letter from Chairman Nye of the
Senate Lands Committee asking him
TO confirm his charges, offering to con-
fer with the North Dakotan at any
time.
The former Denver official reiterated
his charge that concession after con-
cession has been given to Colorado oil
applicants because of political or other
pressure brought to bear upon the
Secretary"
Richardson said he intended to invite
Kelley to confer with him, adding he
would offer him an Office and all
stenographic facilities without charge
SO that he can make recorded state
ment Of his charges and objections"
The Assistant Attorney General said
he was having made a review of all con-
troversial oil shale cases, and that the
Interior Department was now preparing
list of the files involved. He added.
II Kelley would name specific cases and
objections 1T would save us nine-tenths
of this work.
Was Offered Post Here.
Richardson said he thought the for
mer Denver official had acted "oueerly''
i'll making his charges against the In
terror Department.
He explained Kelley had been invited
to washington by Secretary Wilbur to
take charge of oil shale matters in the
department, but had left suddenly with
out comforting with any official and
published his resignation and charges
without talking to the Interior Secre-
tary.
IF there is basis in what he says"
Richardson said, land oil lands are be-
ing SO administered that valuable prop
erty can be wrongly taken from the
Government, then almost any action of
his might be justified"

NEGROES COMMIT SUICIDE
LESS THAN WHITES

New York, Sept. IL That suicide
IN the Umteu Stotes is almost en-
tlrely confined to waite people, is
the statement made by Louis /. Lub-
lin, statlsticlan OF the metropolitan
Lie insurance Company, wricing iR
,ne september harper's Magazine on
"To be or Not To Be?"
his conclusions concerning the IA
cial incidence OF suicide, as excepted
by the N. A. A. c. P, are as follows
Suicide in the United States is
almost altogether limited to white
people. Among our eleven million
Negroes there are annually only a
destruction. This fact is partic-
uarly significant since it is among
the colored people that the very h gh-
est homicide rates prevail. There
is, therefore, apparently little ground
for believing that suicide and homi-
eide 90 hand in hand, and that both
reflect a contempt for human life.
Two different. psychological mechan-
isms are apparently involved. Ho-
micide is generally the outcome OF
sudden passion and follows immed-
lately the murderous impulse. Su-
icide, On the other hand, is usually
the result of generalization and a
brooding introspection, the very con-
ditions which make homicide impos-
sible.

Hilltoppers Arriv-
ing On Campus

Virginia State College, Peters
burg, Va.-Slowly but surely the
Hilltoppers are arriving on the
campus, all anxious for the grind
to begin. Although seven first
string men of the '29 champion
ship team will be missing this year
the coaches are looking for a
strong aggregation. The gaps made
by the loss of Lee, Harrison, Rob
inson, Powell, Pegram, Royal, and
Chambers will be hard to fill but
many schools would be satisfied
to have such backs as Johnson,
Bounds, Dabney, Williams, Cropp
and several others, even without
veteran line. However, States
captain-elect, Oliver, is big pow
erful lineman and with Barabin,
Clapp, Cooper, Hall, Veals all vet
eran linemen, should make good
nucleus around which to build
powerful forward wall.
Much of the early season work
will be given over to blocking and
charging because with such ex-
ceptional good ball carriers, men
that need only cross the line Of
scrimmage, blocking becomes
doubly important.
Starting with Johnson G. Smith
on October 4th, the champs will
face nine-game schedule of the
best teams in the east. The Home
Coming game, November 1st is
with Howard but three other big
games are scheduled for the home
grounds-Hampton, October 18th,
West Virginia, November 18th

{" I have lived through the vorlous

White girls and can do better imita-
lions Of what Ziegfeld's girls do.
"There will be a real Negro play
on Broadway some day. This play
must be conceived in Negro minds,

ituals and spontaneous jazz in their
hearts and the feel of banjo strings
in their fingers.
81 hope some day to be able to be
part and parcel of such production.
It must be produced and backed by
Negroes. There will be brown and
black chorus girls, too, whose first
