he said "Neither MT. Pendergast nor Senator Clark" made a request for Mitchell's removal.
 Mitchell Must Go
 By September, 1884, 1t became evident to me that MT. Mitchell should no longer remain in his im- portant executive position" Roper said.
 'He protested against transfer ring to another position, stating that he had information of serious, gross irregularities in the bureaus under his supervision and also the shipping board bureau.
 "Thereupon, agreed that he should be given proper time in which to file with me memoranda covering such derelictions, but l naturally expected his preparation of material to which he referred would be made promptly and would not seriously interfere with his executive responsibilities to the current work of the bureaus then under him. Tn this regard was greatly mistaken"
 Report In DFibbles
 Roper said he received Mitchells report 'in dribbles"
 Had MT. Mitchell ndeavored to cooperate wholeheartedly with the bureaus under his supervision, he would have found that the respon- sible heads of bureaus and units are men of the highest integrity, tested and tried in their efficiency and patriotism.
 My instructions with regard to appointments are that the stand ard of efficiency must be main- tained and where possible raised.
 "I deeply regret that he did not appreciate the objectives involved but was willing to wreck the pub lie service through charges based chiefly on rumors and suspicious"
 Party and Country
 "Mr. Mitchell does not realize, ? Roper said, "that the best way to serve the democratic party is by securing the best service to the American people. He serves his party best who serves his country best"
 Replying to Mitchelrs charges that the shipping board made a gift" of $1,720,o00 to the U. s. Lines company by permitting 1t to lay up the Leviathan, Roper said the records showed the ship was 'unseaworthy" and was operating at a loss.
 He said John Craig Peacock, di- rector of the shipping board bu- reau, would explain details of the transaction later. I
 Cutting Charge Rcfuted
 "Mr. Mitchell has also made a serious statement" he said, ito the effect that the unfortunate airplane accident in which Sen. Cutting lost his life might not have occurred had a person with more experi- ence, knowledge and stability been in charge of the bureau of air com merce.
 q cannot ascertain in any way, insofar as the department of com merce Is concerned, that the ac- cident could have been avoided"
 Roper charged Mitchell with delays and inactions" as head of the shipping board, but denied that any representative of business or shipping interests caused the for mer officials removal.
 T wish to say emphatically," Roper added, ''that the president did not initiate my action in laying up the Leviathan and from the be- ginning has done no more than manifest an interest in developing a better Amefican merchant mar inc consistent with the approved plans of the congress-.

DR.. Alexander Sees Jury Service
For Southern Negroes
Alabama Action Expected to Be
Followed by Other Common.
wealths

ATLANTA, Ca, - DR.. Will W.
Alexander, executive secretary of
the Commission on Inter-Racial CO.
operation said last week that Gov
ernor Bib Graves of Alabama in
recommending Negroes be placed on
jury roll, took step thai eventually
must be followed throughout the
south.
Governor Graves suggested to all
trial judges in Alabama that jury
boxes be revised to include Negroes
after the United States Supreme
Court reversed the death sentences
of two of the nine Negroes in the
Scottsboro case. The court held the
indictments and convictions illegal
because Negroes were systematically
barred from jury lists in Alabama.
While there are no state laws that
bar Negroes from jury lists, it is said
that very few are included because
of the qualifications exacted from
citizens.
DR.. Alexander commended Cover
nor Graves for suggesting revision,
and added, cit is obvious this is a
step which sooner or later will have
to be taken not in Alabama only but
throughout the south. Present con-
ditions cannot be continued indefi-
nitely.
DR.. Alexander said, zone need not
anticipate that Alabama justice will
suffer in any way from the inclusion
of such Negroes as are clearly quail
flied for jury service by intelligence
and character"
Alabama officials were expected to
seek new indictments with Negroes
included on the jury list.
