Sheriff J. ]. Smith Of Jefferson County
tonieht said he was prepared to fur
nish evidence necessary for an i'm
mediate grand jury Investigation Of
charges that Negroes had been put to
death by white men 1T Barlow.
The charges first came to notice In
. magazine article by Erskine Caldwell,
Georgia writer. who said three Negroes
had been killed in the county and .
fourth saved from lynchtng when he
was shot by an ofdcer.
Sheriff Smiths statement was made
after Judge r. N. HArdeman Of the
middle Georgia circuit said. If any
citizen or public ofncial VIII furnish
to the solicitor general Of the circuit
any evidence upon which the grand
Jury can act with reference to the
alleged lawlessness 1T Barlow, shall
not hesitate to call the grand Jury into
special session"
Evidence Promised
Advised Of the judges statement,
Sheriff Smith said, "You can say that
the sheriff is prepared to furnish the
evidence necessary for an immediate
grand jury investigation. Tell them I
reiterate that 1t Is necessary to call
the grand jury In special session, and
Ill have the evidence ready for them"
THE public is concerned with the
real truth" the Judge said Because
Of the position I occupy Is Judge of the
circuit. I cannot and will not discuss
the merits Of any particular Incl
Everybody regrets indeed that the
life Of a Negro has been taken.
There Is not the slightest suggestion
Of a wave Of crime. or race war or tn

Judge HArdemAn mentioned the
deaths Of three Negroes-Will Walker
on the night Of November 10, 1888;
Ernest Bell last New Year day and an
unidentified man whose body was found
near Barlow on January 3.

Nobody either justines or excuses
the killings, because the facts con-
nected with the homicides are un-
known" he said. "Unfortunately 1t
has been published that these occur
rences were not brought to the atten-
ton Of the grand Jury"
- Solicitor General Marvin Gross has
announced Caldwell will be called be-
fore the regular grand jury next May

PROBATION SERVICE.
HERE HANDICAPPED.
Representative Weideman
Cites Need of Fund in
Handling Situation.
Handicapped by inadequate funds for

Handicapped by inadequate funds for
the maintenance Of proper probation
service, District courts are sending to
prison at great expense many persons
who might be out in the community
earning a living under supervision of
probation officers, Representative Carl
W. Weideman Of Michigan said last
night in a radio address sponsored by
the Community Chest.
Speaking in the Community Forum
period, held under joint auspices of the
Chest and the National Broadcasting
Co., Mr.. Weideman pointed out the
small appropriation Of $3.50 for Police
Court probation work and $11 $3.50 for
the District Supreme Court division will
be entirely inadequate during 1884. In
each case the IS per cent cut Is applied
to the funds given one chief probation
officer and three assistants in the lower
court and chief and four assistants
in the higher branch.
Small staffs, lack Of funds for auto
mobile transportation and general cur
tailment Of probationary activity deny
Washington the model system it should
have, Mr.. Weideman said. The aim Of
modern penology is to handle the Of
fender In such q way that he may,
after proper judicial action, be returned
to the community a useful citizen, he
argued.
Although some offenders necessarily
should be sent to prison, many who now
90 there should be given the opportunity
Of probation, the speaker stated. He
referred to the records here last year,
which indicated SO per cent of Police
Court probationers proved satisfactory
and over 80 per cent of those from Dis
trict Supreme Court.

dence produced by the plaintiffs and
not contradicted by the Government,
he said, 1T appears that irreparable In

Judge Thomas said the present pro-
ceedings were not in the nature OF

a preliminary hearing on the motion to
grant temporary relief to the plaintiffs.
He said he hoped the hearing on the

WATER FRONT.TITLE
BILL GIVEN SENATE
Land Exchange for Whitehaven
Parkway Also Proposed by
Senator King.

A bill seeking to adjust disputes be-
tween the Government and individuals
over title to water front property along
the Potomac and AracoStia Rivers and
Rock Greek, was one of two measures
introduced in the Senate yesterday by
Chairman King of the Senate District
Committee.
The other bill would authorize the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the District Commits
sioners to bring about an exchange
of lands between the Government and
private owners for the purpose OF i'm
proving the layout of Whitehaven
Parkway. Senator King was advised
by the Park Commission that at the
junction Of Huidekoper place and
Whitehaven Parkway there Is wooded
area, very desirable for park purposes
and not particularly suited for building
purposes. The Commission and NUM-
cipal authorities worked out with the
property owners q plan Of exchange
and street closing that would give the
owners, in return for the wooded land
a slightly smaller area Of more nearly
level, unwooded park land.
The bill relating to waterfront prop
erty seeks to enable Federal officials to
bring about equitable adjustments that
would give the Government clear title
to waterfront property In which indi-
vtduals or corporations claim to have
an interest adverse to complete United
States title. Both measures were
referred to the District Committee
