VIRGINIA JUSTICE DEFENDED.
Criticism Declared Prompted by Ignor-
ance, Prejudice, or Both.

RICHMOND, Va, January 21 R.-
Criticism of Virginia as a State where
colored men have for years been VIC
tins of lynchings" brought a reply to-
night from L. r. Reynolds, director of
the Virginia Commission on Inter-
racial Cooperation.
Commenting on efforts to induce Gov.
Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts to
grant extradition of a colored man
wanted in Virginia on a murder charge
only upon assurance that he would be
granted fair trial, Mr. Reynolds said ::
Out of 1886 lynchings in the United
States from 1900 to 1881. the Negro
Year Book, compiled at Tuskegee In
stltute, shows that Virginia's record is
26. No reasonable citizen, of course.
could or would defend even this low
record. but 1t is hardly fair to single
virginia out as place where Justice
Is such stranger as to require bond
that even her worst criminals will be
given fair trial.
"VIginia's anti-lynching law, enacted
during Gov. Byrds administration, is
classed as the most constructive legisla-
ton in recent years and has served as a
model for some other States"
His statement was prompted by criti-
clsm OF Virginia justice voiced by Will
liam Moore Taylor, secretary of the
National Equal Rights League, who Is
aiding in fighting the extradition of
George Crawford, who is wanted in Vir-
ginia on a charge of Staying two women
near Middleburg in LoudouE County.
Lieut.. Gov. James H. Price in COM
menting on Taylors statement said:
The statement is an unwarranted re-
Election upon Virginia and Virginia JUS
tlce. It is prompted either by igr 9rance
or prejudice, perhaps both The 5ympa-
thetic attitude of Virginia toward her
colored people is too well known to re-
quire any special comment from me-"

to stand in this sacred spot where a
great American took the oath Of Presi-
dency of the Confederacy.
II am thinking how little the younger
generation Of today knows Of the feel
ings between the North and South. I
can remember-and I am only half
century old-how a relative who served
in the Confederate Navy came to visit
us in New York, and some Of the
Roosevelts regarded him as pirate.
Il am certain my own daughter here
with me would laugh heartily at hear
ing the brave officers Of the South re-
ferred to as pirates"
Mrs. Anna Dali, daughter Of Mr..
Roosevelt, was with him. Gov. Miller
of Alabama introduced the President
elect as "the man who hunted for and
found the forgotten man last No

At Florence Mr.. Roosevelt told the
cheering citizenship, II hope to come
back again and find all the great power
possibilities of this valley used to the

The party stopped on the bluff oppo-
site the dam, and there Senator Norris
stood by the President-elect.

NORRIS TO RENEW FIGHT.
Senator VIII Offer Shoals Measure in
Special Session.

Special Session.
SHEFFIELD, Ala, January 81 P.-
Senator Norris of Nebraska, whom
President-elect Roosevelt introduced
here today as "the father of Muscle
Shoals legislation" said tonight he
would reintroduce his bill in Congress
for Government operation of the
$3.50 100000 power and nitrate project.
The veteran Nebraskan and Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the New York
State Power Commission, accompanied
Mr.. Roosevelt on an inspection of the
properties but left the President-elects
special train to remain here for q
further study of the perplexing shoals
question.
II am going to reintroduce my bill at
the special session of Congress and
renew my fight with all the energy and
talent at my command to take the huge
project out of controversy on account OF
selfish interests" Norris said.
He indicated some changes would be
made in the bill, probably involving an
experimental operation Of the nitrate
rlant for the purpose of finding cheaper
fertilizer.
"The full and complete development
of the entire Muscle Shca's project has
greater poss bihties than any project I
know of in the country today" said
Walsh
After making a close study of the
Wilson Dam power house, Walsh said
he believed the plant to be one Of the
most modern IN the country.

Roosevelt Decides to Name
a Progressive.
o.h. Ae<oc;ated press

By the Associated Press.
RECOGNIZING the support of Repubn-
can independents in the recent cam
paign. President-elect Roosevelt has
virtually decided to place one OF that
group in his cabinet.
A source close to the incoming Chief
Executive let this be known last night
and intimated simultaneously that Sen
ator Bronson B. Cutting of New Mexico
may be offered the portfolio of Secre-
tary of the Interior.
It was learned also that the Repub-
1ican insurgent group has been express
ing to Mr.. Roosevelt strong opposition
to proposals that Owen D. Young be
named Secretary Of State.
Suggest Walsh for Post.
They have suggested this post 60 to
Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana.
Democrat, who has frequently sided
with them in the Senate.
@1iss in Washington last week,
Rooseven calked cabinet appointments
with Walsh and also with Senator Glass
Of Virginia
The latter was Secretary of the Treas
ury under Woodrow Wilson and in the
Senate has been closely associated with
legislation pertaining to financial mat
ters.
Walsh, noted as the Senate's prose-
cutor in the investigation Of the Hard
ing administration oil scandals, has also
been proposed for the Attorney Gen.
eralship. The question has been re-
peatedly raised in cabinet speculation
whether Walsh and Glass would be
,rl~ 0tc
Cutting was one Of the first of the
independent Republican group to an
nounce himself in favor of Roosevelt.
When Mr.. Roosevelt reached New
Mexico on his swing to the Far West
Cutting appeared on the speaking plat
form with him. The New Mexico Sen
ator declined to comment last night on
the possibility Of his being offered the
cabinet position.
In addition to Glass. another Vir-
administrator SWanson-iS being
freely discussed as possibility for Sec
Tetary of the Navy.
Norman Davis Mentioned.
Swanson was wartime chairman of
the Naval Affairs Committee and is its
present ranking Democratic member.
He has conferred with the President
elect twice recently and some of those
in the confidence of Mr.. Roosevelt have
pointed out that it would not be un-
usual for two cabinet posts to go to the
same State.
Norman Davis, who has represented
the present administration in many
foreign discussions and who accom-
panied Mr.. Roosevelt here for his con-
ference with President Hoover. has
been among those mentioned as Secre-
tary of State. Many believe, however,
that if the President-elect is consider
ing him for major appointment he
will be sent abroad, where his contacts
would be valuable, possibly to London
as Ambassador.

age disabilities will be impossible
they have no assurance that the same
fate will not befall them again when
the passport system becomes applicable
to the entire country, although officials
claim the majority will be absorbed
into qualified citizenship by that time.
When that occurs, those still unable to
qualify for passports face exile to ST.
IBERIA or the Far North.
The intensity of preparations for the
introduction of the passport system was
revealed in recent orders prohibiting
all marriages and divorces in Moscow
and the swapping of living quarters,

riages and divorces was countern,ended
today after being in effect since Janu-

Declaring that the passport system
had been adopted so as to bind the
population to their place of dwelling"
and thus create more space and food
for bona fde workers, F. Lepse, vice
director of the Moscow Police and chief
Of the capitals newly created pass

for the Associated Press the number
of persons affected in Mosco~, bIt he
denied that it would reach 100000 or
even 100000 as currently runored.

he declared:
There is no question of people being
exiled from Moscow because we won't
exile anybojy. OF course there will BE-
categories of people who will not get
passports and will leave Moscow, but
their number still is unknown"
The decree, however, makes those
without passports subject to arrest. but
the punishment thus far has not been
announced. Commenting on the num-
Der OF people already leaving MoscoT,
Director Lepse said:
There are people certain Of being
deprived of passports who prefer to
leave Moscow before the passport sys-
tenn enters into force. They are leav-
ing in number Of possibly l to 10

here are false"
