WE is BROTHERS>>>By J. S. Balch
(Reprinted From Left Front),

Remley would have stopped
him but Matt said, Let him
yell. All know his kind. He
thinks he's a kiyOte a-smellin'
the end of summer" and one of
the prisoners said, 1--WE heard

inches ginst theah muzzels n
they carry on all night lax that
till the sun comes up" and
Matt said, yeah. Let him howl"
So Jim Wall kept bowling till
they got to town, not stopping
till the ear stopped.
Then they all got out and
stretched and stamped in
through the front door which
said City Hall, down stone stairs
through a steel basement door
which said City Jail, into a stone
room where was a high desk,
front of which they stopped.
You fellas strip-shOes'n all"
said Remley, and went through
sa door which said Men, coming
out five minutes later with the
turnkey, a hairless. bent, old
man with a tOOthlss face the
color of plOwed earth.
Hi, boy" Matt said, "have yuh
stahted to shave YETI"
Hi Matt" the turnkey said.
Il said shoes too" said Rem
ley.
t "Crisake," said Jim Wall, ain
it cold enough as is?"
Matt and Remley searched
clothes heaps, the prisoners and
the turnkey watching, the pri-
SOners stamping warily on the
stone floor beating down bluing
goose pimplings with their
cupped palms. Remley found
Two ten dollar bills and five
dollar bin in one of Jim Walls
shoes.
Cold amt all yuh felt was it?"
Remley said.
What you gonna do with my
money!"
"We-e-ell now" said Remley,
"Ah reckon Ah'll have to con-
suit the Judge bout it sorta."
He put the money in an en-
velope, sealed it, wrote Jim Wall
on it and put it on the desk.
You fellas kin see it's SAFE" he
said. Amt no one gonna obther

too old to run fur"
"Whyn't yuh tel lme yuh had
all de marble" a Negro said.
"Ah coulda used them much
bettern de Judge"
"Hahahaha," Matt laughed.
THAT sho is rich.'
When the men were dressed
the turnkey led them through a
steel door through narrow
stone corridor to the dollhouse.
There were six cells in arrow to
the left of the entrance, a high
blank to the right, a wooden
bench, floorTiveted. in the
center, A man in one cell cried
softly.

PART 1

There was coal in his hair and
his beard was one week grown
when Jim Wall climbed from a
freight train into six inches of
mud and the arms of a railroad
dick.
The dick held up a torchlight.
"Wheah yuh headin' fuh, bud?'
he said.
Il don't know" Jim Wall said
slowly blinking, you're the
boss l guess"
"Thas me all right, the dick
said. He waved his torchlight
at the box ear. who's with yuh?"
Jim Wall caught a gunglint
and a white heavy face six feet
from the ground. Nobody, he
said, nobody b-but me-"
You're a liah. Theys somun
coughin."
Another detective, bulky as a
house, came swiftly down the
tracks, a torch held navel-high.
Search at ear, Remley. All
got me one"
Gun drawn, crOuching Warily,
Remley trOd mud to the bOxcar.
Come outa theah," he rOared.

Six men came out, one by one,
arms overhead Four were
whites. Two were Negroes.
"Thickern fleas up a dawg's
tail" Remley said.
cit lined up" his partner
said. Cit going you too" kick
ing Jim Wall.
Arm in arm, the dicks behind,
the prisoners trudged up the
railroad tracks up around the
engine to where a Ford car with
dimmed headlights waited on a
road that led to town. Two
whites got in front with Remley
who was to drive. A Negro sat
on the lap of the man on the
outside. Three men got in back
with the other detective. Jim
Wall stood on the running board
by the driver.
How're yuh fixed, Matt?
"Okeh, Remley. Let's CO." said
Matt.
Don't try to jump" Remley
said. "Ah'd jes as lief haul yuhr
carcass in as not"
Il won't" Jim Wall said. It's
too cold"
A Negro laughed at that. He
laughed long in little grasps like
an engine getting up speed up
an incline after the pullaway.
The ear started, headlights
broad on the wet cement.
Then the Negro who had
laughed. a thin man with face
color of green apple and eyes
like bugs drowned in milk,
began to hum. First he hummed
and the dicks thinking perhaps
he was going to sing spirituals.
let him hum. Then he sang, "Oh
the miners came in forty-nine,
the whores in fifty-one: they
jungled up together and they
made the Native Son. and Matt
said laughing, shut up, yuh

Then Jim Wall leaning to wind
on the running board sitter
than spiked ice, felt cold inside
and began to howl tremolo.

posed by a committee of the Public

tic," the directors of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce at meeting
yesterday reversed the stand of the

approved the recommendation.

however, that it believed in the theory
Of change in parking regulations to
relieve congestion in the central area
but thought 1t should be made grad
ually.
The Transportation Committed 8

Keneipp, chairman. 1t mad been
adopted at a meeting Monday
The proposal, which would ban
parking on F. and G streets between
Fifth and Fifteenth streets and on
Seventh, Ninth. Tenth and Twelfth
streets during the daytime, is part of

Public Utilities Commission by the
special committee named to make the
study.
Col. Robert N. Harper was named

Commerce here next month. Other
