Another Hobby Idea
For "Furnbling"
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
I would like to suggest a hobby
for "Fumbling" in reply to his
request printed in The Times
Of February %. While much
has been said about the other
features of Esperanto, the in
ternational language, its value
as a hobby has been somewhat
overlooked-and in a country
like ours, where everyone speaks
the same tongue, an interna-
tional language Cor any Ian
guage other than English for
that matter) must be used
principally as a source Of di'
version.
Esperanto may be learned at
little expense the instruction
Is free of charge and textbooks
do not cost much-and many
people are now enjoying our
weekly ESpera Mt o converse
tional classes, monthly meetings
of the Good Fellows Club"
and picnics and hikes in the
warm seasons, all Of which are
free of charge.
Corresponding with Esperan-
lists in foreign countries is a
hobby in itself, being educa-
tionaI as well as interesting.

MARTIN DEATH
LAID To GRIEF

Grief over estrangement from
his beautiful 23-year-old wife,
Jane Catherine Martin, was partly
responsible for the death of
Samuel K. Martin Sd, 26, Wash
ington millionaire, who was found
dead of a heart stroke Sunday in
Savannah, Ca, his attorney, Sam
uel B. Cohen, stated here today.
Mrs. Martin, the former Mary
Jane of "Whoopee," is now on her
way back from Europe. Before
the couples estrangement they
made their home in Montgomery
county, where Mr.. Martin owned
the palatial estate Marwood, now
leased to Joseph Kennedy, of the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion.
Mr.. Martin was the heir to the
Otto Young millions of Chicago.
Chicago courts awarded Mrs. Mar

Publicity Tips off
The R0cketeer

To the Editor of The Times:
I see that your valuable
paper is leading Gas usual, lead
ing) the fight to repeal the law
allowing a small degree Of
publicity of income tax returns,
on the ground that such pub
licity exposes the taxpayers to
kidnapers and extortioners. OF
course, you are right. Tax
payers should be protected.
But the law should be amended
so as to forbid the publication
of news items about wealthy
people. Hardly a day passes
that you do not see one or
more news items about some
multimillionaire or successful
business man. Only a few
days ago your paper announced
in big headlines that Mr.. Mel
Ion was worth $200,0O0,O00.
Then, too, there is published
every year a book which shows
the financial rating of every
business man in the United
States.
So, if you are going to keep
the racketeers and kidnaperS
from knowing who to kidnap
and who to racket, you will
have to forbid the publication
of financial reports and pro-
hibit the newspapers from
printing news items about mil
lionaires and wealthy business
men.

More Ransom Money
Increases Doubt
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
The fact that more Lindbergh
ransom money turned up in
Boston within the last two
weeks tends to show that the
kidnapping has not yet been
solved. Why then should
Hauptmann have to die and the
real guilty person or persons
still at large?
I am still wondering If the
evidence they produced against
him was all genuine. Couldn't
New Jersey have found a more
humanitarian way to deal with
him? Why send him to the
electric chair "just to close
the case"? I believe he got a
raw deal.

A. A. G.. P, eff deliberate distortion
of the facts regarding the lynching
of Govan Ward of Louisburg, N. O.,
on July Both. The controversy is one
Of the most acrimonious Of the pres
int session Of Congress and reveals
according to informed observers here,
how deeply opposition, even in the
South, to the flibuster is getting I'M
der the skins of Bailey and other
Southern Senators.
The N. A. A. C. P. Secretary
charges Senator Bailey with lying
unless his State can and does appre-
bend and punish Wards lynchers. The
full text of Senator Bailey's letter
and Of Mr.. Whites reply are:
August Is, 1885
II have your wire of July 31st.
Il did assert that the people Of
the United States need no incentive
by way of Federal interference to
prevent lynch-ng. | did assert that
there had been more improvements
in the reduction of the number of
these crimes than in the number of
the reduction of any other crimes
whatsoever. These statistics were
supplied by the Tuskegee Institute
and r not to be questioned. I do not
think Federal action would have the
slightest thing to do with the stop
ping of lynching. / shall resist the
Costigan-Wagner bill as often as it
comes up and it makes no difference
whatever to me that the eyes of the
world will be upon me and my State
to see if | spoke truthfully and |
need no reminder from you on this
for your suggestion that | have spok-
en- other than truthfully, and you
know that you are lying when you
undertake to make it appear that
there has not been a very great re-
duction in lynchings throughout the
country and iii the South and in my
State the past forty years. You have
the facts before you. The idea of in
voking the Federal power to prevent
q crime, the number of which com
mitted in the country is less than
fifteen in a year, is an absurdity up
on its face. I understand very we'll
what your organization is up to and
| do not hesitate to say that so far
from advancing the interest of the
race, it is doing as much as anything
to keep the race r@ce-conscious and
in a condition of unrest.
II do not want any more wires
from you or any communications. You
ought to go out and make an honest
living instead of trying to attend to
other peoples business and taking up
collections from people who are de-
luded by the folly which you put for
ward"
Very truly yours

Secretary
The N. A. A. G. P. also sent the
following clipping to Senator Bailey
from the Decatur HERALD, De-
catur, Ill, August 2, 1880:
IN THE STATE TRADITION
Most recent of lynchings in the
United States is that one reported
from the state of North Carolina.
The new must have surprised some
readers who know that North Caro-
lima has been in many respects the
most enlightened and civilized Of all
southern states.
Only a week before this lynch
ing, however, another news story
had come out of North Carolina, the
significance Of which may have been
overlooked. Some officials Of a
state prison there were brought to
trial. 1t was testified that they had
claimed Negro prisoners in IN
heaed rooms in winter, leaving them
until their feet were frozen off. IA
North Carolina jury, after hearing
this testimony, decided that the
prison officials responsible were
guilty Of no crime and might return
to their work, in which they had
proved such efficiency.
In a state of civilization that APP
proves this sort of procedure, lynch
ing quite naturally may be looked
upon as the more humane method Of
dealing with persons suspected Of
crime.

ears observed the ~nysterical bitter
ness you displayed in filibustering
against the Costigan-Wagner anti
lynching bill, l should have been un-
able to believe that a member Of a
solemnly deLberative body like the
United States Senate could have de-
~liberately distorted the plain English
language as you have distorted my
telegram of July 31st in your reply
to me Of August 18th. Ny telegram
to your regarding the Louisburg,
North Carolina, lynching Of Govar
Ward on July Both read:
"On April 26 you vigorously
attacked the Costigan-Wagner
anti7lynching bill and asserted
that we need no incentive to do
our duty in preventing lynch
ing or Furnishing lynchers.' Yes
terday a mob n your own State
at Louisburg, presented you and
the State of North Carolina
with a challenge to prove the
truth of your statement of April
rs. Thoughtful Americans, includ-
ing many white citizens Of North
Carolina, do not believe that
lynching can be stopped except
by Federal action. The eyes of
the world will be upon you and
your State to see if you spoke
tr~uthfully when you filibustered
against the Costigan-W Wagner
bill"
mo statement is made therein
as to whether or not lynchings are
decreasing, increasing or remaining
the same. Can it be that the rea-
son you failed to answer my direct
question a. to what you and the
State of North Carolina plan to do
to bring the Louisburg lynchers to
justice is because you know that
neither you o your State plans to
do anything, The plain question
is this: What do you intend to do
to make good your boast that
North Carolina needs no Federal or
outside help to apprehend, convict
and punish any and all persons who
commit OF participate in a lynching
in North Carolina? The question
as to whether or not you told the
truth in the fillibuster is not going
to be answered in any other fashion
except by the apprehension and pun
ishment of the L~ouisburg Iynchers.
Ii they are punished, then that ac-
ton and it alone Will proclaim to
the world that you told the truth.
Likewise, failure to punish the
Louisburg lynchers will prove that
you did not tell the truth, and there
is no escaping that fact trough hys-
terical statements such as con-
tanned in your letter of August
18th.
Il note your letter Of August 18th
states that you desire no further
communications from me. 1t is not
difficult to appreciate your wish to
have the last word on this Iynching
which must humiliate and EN- bar
rass you in spite of your self-right--
Gus attitude.
II note further your statement
taat it makes no difference what
ever to me that the eyes of the world
VIII be upon me and my State to
see if | spoke truthfully'. Is it be-
yond your comprehension to real
ize that the time has long since
passed when territorial subdivisions,
whether they be nations or states,
can ignore what the outside world
thinks? Not even the most not
orious European dictators dare be so
arrogant.

Saint Patrick was born at
Nemthur, a province of Valentia
in 396. He worked with his ia
Their on the Clyde river. When only
sixteen years of age he was seiz-
ed by a band Of pirates, taken to
Ireland and sold as slave to an
Irish chief. After serving six years
IS a herder of cattle, he escaped
TO France where he entered a mon
astery at Tours. He visited Rome
in 431 and was sent the following
year by Pope Celestine as mis-
sionary to Ireland to introduce
Christianity. After visiting all
parts of the kingdom, he establish
ed his see at Armagh in the year
454 and held several synods and Sc
cured the appointment of two
bishops. He personally baptized
$4,000, established 365 churches
and ordained large number of
priests.
Now, when. we think of st. Pat
rick's Day, we must take into con-
sideration the origin of it, which
was in the fifth century. This was
the death of this great man, Saint
Patrick, at Down, Ulster, March
II, 493, and since that day we have
celebrated st. Patrick's Day in his
honor.
