sternation this week when it was
learned that John H. Williams, son

a room mate, and Glen Harris

from piece Of electric light cord,
with the knot at the end over a
closed door.
Evans and Williams had been in
the room all evening but Evans
stepped out for a short time and
returning, missed his "buddy" and
looking in the closet, found him
hanging on the door and opening it,
the body bell to the floor dead.
Evans sounded an alarm and the
news spread over the university like
wild fire.
1t was one Of the astrangest cases
ever recorded in this section. No

(BY CARY B. LEWIS)

Amid solemnity and hushed 81
lence, last rights Of the Church
were administered over the remains
of Richard B. Harrison, "De Lawd''
and world famous actor of Green
Pastures" on Tuesday at II o'clock,
at St. Edmund's Episcopal Church,
1888 Indiana avenue. The rector,
the Rev. Samuel J. Martini; sang
requiem while the Right Reverend
George Craig Stewart, Bishop OF
the DIOCESE pontificated and inton-
ed the liturgy and benediction.
Promptly at II o'clock, the funer-
al cortege appeared before the
church as the rector intoned in the
moving silence, Il Am The Resur-
fection and the Life. A pail Of re-
1igious gravity spread itself over
the entire congregation. The full
splendor of ANGLICAN professionals
struck 81 q triumphant note Of
victory over death and set at naught
the uncertainties and doubt which
grief may have engendered.
Eight crifixes and flambeau
and eight acolytes bearing the mass
tocrhes, preceded the priests Of
ficient and after the priest came

with Easter lilies, bearing the re-
mains of the beloved "Lawd."

District Primaries

The District committees both the House and Senate have
been making considerable progress this session in the handling
of bills affecting National Capital but there is
re in which local residents interested that to have
been checked somewhere along the road to enactment That
is the bill providing the conduct of HONEST AND
OPEN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY HERE.
Such bill should be acted this session necessary
be made to send representative deega
ons from Washington to the next conventions Of the Repub
lican and Democratic parties
The only of political activity in Washington centers
around these delegations which four journey to
the conventions and small blocks Of votes for aspants
for the presidential nominations
Heretofore these delegations have been Of the HAND
PICKED variety and have had claim to represent
the wishes of the rank and file members of the parties in
Washington. Usually two have picked the
cation shall vote.
The result has been pleasing Usually the delegation
would get into fight at the convention with cause would
precipitate nasty contest.
These haven't strengthened the effort which is
being made by of citizens to obtain the right to vote
in national and local elections.
They have frequently made the District the laughing stock
Of the convention
The handpickng process Of selecting the delegations has
also frequently led to the placing the delegation Of men
or women who shadow Of right to claim residence
in the District Occasionally not frequently those aspiring
to the nominations have been able to pack the District dele
cations with residents of other communities
The bills which have introduced in the House and
Senate this year would eliminate much Of the contention
which has plagued the Districts delegations They would set
adequate machinery properly supervised to permit party
members in the city to register their choice and select their
representatives.
Sincere men who are directing the dsnies of the parties in
Washington will oppose the principle Of the bills The
others have right to control the parties in Washington
anywhere else.
