TITLED ENVOY WILL MARRY FOR LOVE
Earl Of Chichester
Finds u. S. Girls
VERY Pretty"

Tall, titled, talented-and tough
to get.
That, tersely. tells the tale of
John Buxton Pelham. 21-year-old
Earl of Chichester, attache of the
British Embassy, who is visiting
his friend. Harold Freese-Penny'
father, 5000 block o st. N. w.
Unmarried, this fulfillment of a
debutante's dream far outshines
the marrying Princes Mdivani,
who have made quite a name for
themselves by reason of their
acquisition of rich and notable
women. For the Earl of Chiches-
ter-or John, if you prefer to call
him that-not only has no inten'
ton of marrying soon, but is max
ing a decided effort to thwart the
thrusts of Cupid's darts.
About his financial standing
the Earl-who is addressed per-
sonally as "Lord"-is not so GER
tain. He frankly admits he has
not deal of money but what his
exact income is per month is
somewhat nebulous to the demo
cratic chap whose fine physique
first graced these shores six
months ago.
Wife To Be Princess
But John-as he likes to be
called-is certain that he will not
marry for some years to come.
He is sensible enough to realize
that the many proffers he has
had of marriage were merely for
his title and not for himself alone.
His future wife will receive the
title of princess"
And while many an American
boy would like to CAD about the
country and be called lord" it
proves great headache to the 81.
year-old Englishman.

people say about him. He would

Virginia's 100 counties, most Of
them poor and overtaxed, con-
,tinue to maintain each its own
Jail.
These jails cost money to
maintain; most of the approx
;mately $4,000 persons who &C.
cupy them each wear being in
them because they can't pay q
fine and costs.
BY consolidating counties. the
taxpayers would save money by
having only one Jail to. support
and that one Jail could be a new
one with modern conveniences.
Jails Disgrace to State
8 The county jails of Virginia
are an admitted disgrace to the
State.
Men and women. white and
colored, native and alien, are
.herded together in these old
structures and they serve out
their terms in idleness.
:, The Governors Commission on
Crime and Prisons in Virginia re-
ported that physical, mental and
moral degeneracy is the principal
product" of these institutions.
The Institute for Research in
the Social Sciences at the Uni
versity of Virginia went beyond
consolidation of counties and the
elimination of some jails. 1t said:
Punishment by confinement
should be the prerogative Of the
State, and not of the local COM
munity. Effective classification.

: tive employment, and conStruc-
tive vocational training of con-

controlled institutions should re-
place the Jail system in Vir.
ginia."
Approximately per cent of the
States population filters through
the jails during year. the figures
show. and their keep is an expen-
sive item for the taxpayers.
Courthouses Costly
Courthouses are another bur
den on the men and women who
pay the bills. Each of the coun.
ties has it's own courthouse, most
often in a sad state of disrepair
and extremely expensive to keep
going.
{, Light and heat cost the coun-
ties plenty, and the fire insur'
ance premiums on the old build
ings are high.
7 There are approximately 5000
persons working in courthouses
On salaries in the State and a
large number of them would be
cut off the payroll by the elimi-
nation of number of the coun-
ties. AS was said at the start OF

form of government. They are:

Anti-DepOrtatiOn
Meeting August &c

NEW YORK-A New York con-
ference of representatives of organi-
cations to plan work for the pro-
lection of foreign-born workers
against the terror drive which is
intensifying under Roosevelt and
Perkins MIRA. will be held Satur-
day, August 26, at one o'clock, in
Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East 4th st.
The conference, to which all organi-
cations of workers are urged to send
representatives, is called by the New
York District Committee for the
Protection of the Foreign Born.
Deportation for American born
and naturalized citizens is not re-
mote idea," T. j. McHenry, national
secretary of the committee said to-
day. "Only firm resistance to
the deportation terror against the
foreign-born can prevent this de-
velopment. American workers. and
especially Negroes, should be vitality
interested in this question.
The comment was made on the
basis of the Fish Committee to the
last congress, and of more recent
statements by Ex-Police-Commis-
sioner Mulrooney, now head of the
state beer commission.
Organizations are urged to send
donations with their delegates, to
help the fight against the deporta-
ton of such militant working-class
fighters as Jack Schneider, of the
Needle Trades Union, Frank Borich,
secretary of the National Miners
Union, Antonoff and William Zazu-
LAX of the Auto Workers Union,
and others, in the statement issued
by McHenry.
