DR.. Hubbard's findings were re-
leased shortly after the announce
ment here that the organization was
already under way for the 1886 Birth
day Ball for the President on Jan

used to combat the disease.
The Warm Springs Foundation will
receive 80 per cent of the money rails
ed to forward their nationwide anti
paralysis war.
The remaining 20 per cent, accord
ing to Colonel Doherty, will remain
in local communities raising the
money for aftcr-treatment in the re-
Mobilization of sufferers.
With the scientific advancement OF
research into infantile paralysis, pro
grcss has been made that will live in
the history of medicine. With our con-
tributions this will be allowed to be
carried on to a more perfect analysis

COLORED LAWYERS
FORMING NEW UNIT
Group Irked by Bar Action
in Joining National
Negro Congress.

Angered over action Of the Wash
ington Bar Association (coloredD in
joining the National Negro Congress,
n group OF colored lawyers here have
Withdrawn from the association and
taken the necessary steps for creation
Of a new organization.
The lawyers who withdrew from the
association are headed by Judge
James A. Cobb, former judge in the
Municipal Court.
Action Held Unpatriotic.
In q prepared statement, Judge
Cobb said it was the sense of the con-
ference Of lawyers that they de
nounce the unpatriotic and unbecom-
ing action of the Washington Bar
Association for afflliating with the
National Negro Conference"
while it was not known the exact
purposes and objectives of the con-
gress," Judge Cobb said, sufficient
evidence is available to disclose that
organization is controlled and domi-
mated by persons who belong either to
the Socialist or Communist parties.
We believe the Bar Association should
not lend its aid or be in any wise
connected with any political party or
parties, and we as individuals are op-
posed to any party or organization
which seeks to overthrow or change
the fundamental principles of our
Government"
26 Present in Vote.
At the time the local bar aSsoci-
alton agreed to join the National
Negro Congress there were 26 lawyers
present. OF that number, IA voted for
the move and IL against it. There
were Is lawyers present at the meet
ing in which 1t was decided TO with
draw from the association. This,
Judge Cobb said, practically wipes out
the old bar association.
Those voting to withdraw from the
old association and form new one
are Judge Cobb, Nathan A. Dobbins,
Assistant United States Attorney r.
r. Horner, Judge w. C. Hueston, John
H. Wilson. Louis r. Mehlinger. George

he must make sure all was right at the Office;

his boy. And as he staggered along drawn by

him downtown, he fought the invisible some

would carry on.
The train at last reached his stop; Witherby
went up the stairs that led directly to the
elevators of the tall building in which the
Maddox Offices were situated.
He hung his coat up in the closet and went
automatically about his duties. What truly
remarkable person Mr. Maddox was! With
all this trouble of the divorce and all he hadn't
