dent Hoover is already in full
swing, it was learned last night
with the disclosure of a letter
sent by Robert H. Lucas, eXecu-

The letter appeals to them to
defend the President and to
aid the national committee in
an aggressive, active, determined
campaign from this day until
the polls close in 1882"
Extolling the President for pre-
venting a disastrous panic" the
letter declares Hoover "has sus-
tanned the American scale of
wages, maintained the American
standard of living, prevented a
nationwide money panic, and kept
thousands of men and women at
work in every community, who
would otherwise have been listed
among the unemployed"

Prominent colored Republicans
and Democrats Of the city are
watching with interest the move
ments Of the National Negro Re
publican League, an organization
just become active under the
auspices of the National Re-
publican Committee.
Office is Opened
The league, the purpose of
which is to organize and create
interest among colored Re
publicans throughout the United
States, has opened offices at TIT
U st. N. w., in the center Of the
colored belt of the city. DR..
John r. Hawkins, chairman Of
the colored voters division of the
Hoover campaign committee two
years ago, is president.
Many colored politicians out
side of the party have voiced
their opinion concerning the
move which is the first of it's
kind undertaken by the Re
publican party. The change Of
thousands of colored voters to
the Democratic party during the
last three years has been keenly
felt by the Republicans, it is
said.
Jobs are Slow
Appointments by Mr.. Hoover
have been slow and the naming
of a white man to a post former
" held by the late Walter L..
Cohen, comptroller of customs at
New orleans, is also being dis
cussed as unfavorable to the
colored race. The naming Of
Charles E. Mitchell as Minister
of Liberia Is said to be the only
outstanding post given a negro
since Mr.. Hoover came into

Several Police May Lose
Jobs as Result Of Events
In Limerick Murder Probe

Members Of the police force
and observers Of the working
methods of some Of the Capitals
policemen in connection with the
| Investigation of the Limerick muir
Ger today are predicting a de-
partment shake-up as one after
math of the crime.
Changes are Seen
Some 20 50 far as to Gay that
several policemen who have been
involved in the case, either rs
suspects or investigators, will be
dropped from the force, while
others will be denoted.
Department heads still are too
busy with the job Of unraveling
the murder mystery to discuss
what action may be taken, but
some drastic disciplinary meas
ures may be expected, they hint.
Detectives failed to locate either
the bullet in the floor or the
empty shell in the cup in the
murder house. For this reason
Policeman Robert F. LangdOn first
came under suspicion and his ar
rest followed when he told police
he had found the slug, = bullet
hole in the mattress and a pistol
shell in the coffee mug.
Aside from members Of the
homicide squad, a number Of
patrolmen are more or less in
volved in the case.
Warning Is Charged
Policeman Clyde Rouse is &C
cused of having communicated a
warning to a woman living in
the house of Mrs. Martha Barg-
frede, intimate friend of the slain
girl, that violence might befall
Mrs. Bargfrede if she told too
much about the murder.
Detective William B. Satter-
waithe testified before a coroner's
inquest that Policeman Langdon
was calm and in no way aroused
suspicion when he visited Deals
funeral parlor on New Year Day
and asked about Miss Limerick'S
body. Mr.. Satterwaithe, however,
police say, had told them previ-
ously that Mr.. Langdon was very
nervous and acted in a suspicious
manner on that visit.
Detective Walter Beck, who
went to the death house at $50
o'clock on the afternoon Of
December 81, admitted he made
no investigation of the house nor
did he examine the floor or pull
the bed away from the wall for
further examination.
Others Are Careless
Other policemen who were on
duty at the murder scene were
dereIict or exceedingly careless
in failing to learn obvious facts.
Policeman Paul Berger ad-
mitted having known the slain
girl and to have quarreled with
her. Policemen Thomas Carter
also admitted having gone out
with her but stopped seeing her
because "her crowd was too fast"
for him.
AS the result of the poor police
work on the case and the small
number of detectives who have
had to shoulder almost the en-
tire burden Of the inquiry police
heads themselves differ radically
upon even the circumstances Of
the crime,
