King County Colored Republican
club began its 18th year of activity
with their meeting Sunday at the
Masonic hall in which new officers
were installed and financial reports
made by the secretary and treasur-
er. A difference of one cent in
their accounts was reported by Clar-
ence r. Anderson, secretary and w.
H. Banks, treasurer. H. r. Cay
ton, ex-president of the club in
stalled the officers. He urged the
members to stand by the principles
of the G.. o. P. and support the
party right or wrong. 1--WE can Sc
cure our full rights as citizens bet
ter in the party than out of it and
fighting it. If we must fight let's
stay in our own house and do bat
tle," Cayton said. The following
is the new roster of officers: N. J..
Graffell, president; R. II. McCurdy,
vice president; Clarence R. Ander-
son, secretary; John E. Greene, as
sistant secretary; w. II. Banks,
treasurer; e. r. Chainey, John E.
Prim, John l.. Green. Alfred Hall,
Fred Woodson and w. H. Wilson,
executive committee. In his inan-
gural address President Graffell
said: "King County Republican club
functions throughout the year and
is recognized the strongest Colored
political organization in the North
west. During the past year we held
ID meetings and our executive COM
mittee held 16 meetings. We are
represented on the King County Re-
publican Central committee and we
are seeking representation on the
state committee. Through this or
ganization we have secured en-
ployment for two at Olympia, one in
King County hospital, one deputy
in sheriff's office; one deputy Unit
ed States marshal; two in service of
the school board; eleven janitors at
the court house, three at Olympia
and one in the immigration station.
Their total salaries is more than
10000. We are now beginning our
18th year of continuous service and
we seek the cooperation of every
one interested in the political well
fare of the race. l am proud of the
Republican club not because / am
the president but because OF the
work it is doing. We could accom-
plish more if others would join with
US and help us put over our pro-
gram. We must cease being di-
vided. We must cooperate. There
is no need for another Colored po-
!itical organization in Seattle. All
of us can't be leaders. There must
be followers. am glad to follow
competent, energetic, honest lead
ership. We believe King County
Colored Republican club has that
kind of leadership and we invite
every Colored citizen in Seattle to
become member. Join us and help
in the fight to secure full rights and
privileges for our race. May we ac-
complish more this year than in all
years past

DIES IN FALL

CHICAGO, April GN.S0
Frank B. Senator" German, 60,
veteran employe of the Congress
sional Bureau at Washington,
D. c., died at a hospital here to;
day under mysterious circum-
stances.
Police who took him to the
hospital Monday night said Cor,
man had been drinking and
while sitting on a chair in the
police station fell to the floor and
injured his head.
Mrs. Philip German, his sister
in-law, denied German was
drinking man and said she be-
lieved he had been assaulted by
bandits. Police found him wan,
dering in the street.
Mr.. German was widely known
in congressional circles here. He
came to the Capitol more than
two-score years ago as a page
boy in the House.
Since that time Mr.. German,
while not officially connected
with Congress, has held several
positions which have brought him
in almost daily contact with the
members.

|, Managua is one of the quaintest
capitals in the narrow neck of
continent-linking territory known
as Central America.
A town of $4,000 inhabitants, it
rests on the blue waters of Lake
Managua, and is a commercial as
well as political center for Mica
ragua, being near the coffee belt
Of that country!
Near Proposed Canal
1t is about 40 miles from Lake
Nicaragua, the largest body of
fresh water south of Lake Michi-
gan, and which lies in the route
of the proposed Nicaraguan canal,
which American Army engineers
are now surveying.
The homes are the character
istic Latin-American type-one-
storied, with flaring red roofs and
cool patioS within. It has many
ancient structures of red sand

Quake Won't Halt Plans
For Nicaragua Canal

The earthquake at Managua
will have no effect on the build
ing of the proposed canal so miles
from there, in the opinion of
chief of engineers, United States
Army, and members of the inter
oceanic canal board.
The history of earthquakes re-
corded from the Spanish con-
quests until 1886, compiled by a
Frenchman, shows % quakes oc-
Cured in Panama and IA in
Nicaragua, according to S. B.
Williamson, member of the canal
board.
Mr.. Williamson, himself, has
compiled the history from that
time until 1929, during which
period Panama was shaken by Is
quakes and Nicaragua by IA.
Recalls 1898 Quake
Mr.. Williamson returned from
the proposed canal area recently,
The Washington times., 1931-04-01

after making a personal study Of
conditions there.
He said that the most serious
disaster of its kind prior to the
present one occurred in Managua
in 1898. and that it's result was
made the subject of a special
study in relation to the building
of the canal. Had the canal ex-
listed at that time it would not
have been damaged in the opin-
ion of engineers, he said.
Canal Zone Safe
The present disaster is perhaps
the worst which has occurred in
Nicaragua, Mr.. Williamson said.
In nearly all instances chief
damage has been done at Man
aqua, and has not extended over
the canal area, he said.
All active volcanoes have been
studied and taken into considera-
ton by the canal board, he said.

'HYM|E" Sticks
To HIS STORY

CLEVELAND, April l GNS0
The climax in the trial of Pitts
burgh Hymie" Martin, charged
with the murder of former Coun-
Gilman William E. Potter, was
reached here today when the
State began the cross-eXamination
of the defendant on the witness
stand.
Attempting to tear down the
alibi stories told by Hymie on the
stand yesterday and by other de-
fense witnesses, Prosecutor Ray
T. Miller launched a storming
barrage of questions.
Answering quietly and punctu-
ating his remarks with a trace of
defiance, Martin held to the de
tails of the story he related under
direct questioning.
Queried on the gun believed to
have been used in the murder of
the former councilman, Martin
denied he ever saw the weapon,
and again denied he knew the
slain man.
Miller concentrated his attack
on Martins story of his activities
from January % to February 3,
the days leading up to the time
when Potter was killed. Martin
related the same story he told
yesterday, that he was in Pitts
burg on January 81 and in Cleve-
land until late afternoon on Feb
ruary 3, when he departed for
Akron.

OVER QUAKE
'It will take a long, long
time to rebuild Managua."

'It will take a long, long
time to rebuild Managua."
This was the forecast made to,
day by the Nicaraguan minister,
DR.. Dom Juan j. SacaSa, who
does not attempt to minimize the
disaster which has befallen his
capital, but maintains true Latin
bouyancy in the midst Of it all,
At the Nicaraguan Legation,
24O1 Fifteenth st. N. W., DR.,
Sacasa, picturesque figure in
many of the political episodes
which have studded Central
American history, said his coun-
try would come out none the
worse" for its narrowing expert
ence.
He Receives Message
He has received only one tele-
gram from his Foreign Minister,
which said:
"Great loss Of life and de-
structiOn of property by quake
here. Martial law declared"
No dispatches had been re-
ceived at the legation this morn
ing, and Minister Sacasa is de-
pendent almost entirely for press
dispatches for details Of the ca
tastrophe.
He said:
"There may be much suffer
ing and business depression fol
lowing this quake, but Nicara-
qua will not have another revO-
luton. Political conditions will
not be disturbed.
I'VE are grateful for Ameri- &.

fore we come through this trag-
edy we may be forced to ask

ture of my country.

to the days of Cortez's conquest
of Mexico.
Among it's government build
ings are national palace and an
imposing cathedral.
Scene of Revolutions
It has been the scene of many
revolutions in the past two dec
AIDES and of colorful political die"
tators and usurpers. American
Marines have been in the city
more or less continuously since
1912, occupying the Campo de
Marie, on the southern edge of
the city.
American engineers surveying
the proposed canal route have
reached Managua and ar cooper
ating in restoring order. Just
what effect the earthquake will
have on plans for the canal con-
structiOn have not been disclosed.

NEW SENATOR

MONTPELIER, VT, April 1
G.N.SO.-Warren r. Austin, "dry'
Republican, was easily elected to
the United States Senate by bet
ter than 10000 votes over Stephen
M. Driscoll, "Wet" Democrat.
Returns today in yesterday 6
special election showed:
Austin, 27,629; DriScoll, is, ,331.
The vote was light; Democrats
made slight gains but the report
