DR.. j. l.. Henderson, prominent
Hamtramck physician and public

in reply to an article which ap-
peared in recent issue of the
Hamtramck Citizens, in which
Polish voters were urged to sup

Mr.. A. N. Lewandowski
Hamtramck Citizen
1882 Caniff Avenue
Hamtramck, Michigan
Dear Sir:
1t seems that the whole wor-
ry Of yourself and paper, is the
fact that Negroes have been
nominated on both major party
tickets for State Senator. Now,
if Mankowski had been any
thing exceptional as a State
Senator, he would have been
returned by his people, even il
there had been a hundred Pol
ish candidates in the field The
whole thing sums up in the
fact that you and Mankowski
can't take it. There are many
of my people in this district
and we can get as good repre-
sentation with a Negro in the
office as we can with a Pole.
Respectfully,
Jas. j. Henderson

At yesterday afternoons session,
however, the delegates adopted the

Framed by q group of Citizens

senatorial candidates"

Another member of the royal fam

of an incident in a crowd at Plymuoth
yesterday while inspecting members

From the crowd a woman ran toward
the duke, apparently intending to
shake his hand. Former soldiers, men,
bers of the legion, restrained her as
police rushed up. The woman took
her place along the sidelines and later
disappeared in the throng
Many of the authorities working on
the case were represented as believing
Mcmahon was suffering from a de-
lusion and grievance. Possibility was
expressed the prisoner might be ex-
amined by physicians to determine his
exact mental condition.
Police said McMahons record show
ed he was sentenced to a years i'm
prisonment in 1888 for allegedly libel
ing the police. The case was ap-
pealed, however. and the sentence
quashed.
Police said unofficiallv they believed
the protest which was alleged to
have inspired Mcmahon had no con-

Of five children. in Exter.

Queen" Ruby Mitchells ragged
subjects lamented her death today.
sorrowing gypsies of a motor cara
van left their camp beside a highway
near Alexandria last night and crowded
into the City Hospital when they
learned Queen" Ruby's end was near.
The weeping and wailing Of subjects
OF the dead queen" carrying out
tribal rites on a lawn opposite the
hospital, attracted several hundred
Alexandrians TO the scene and caused
. near riot.
Unimpressed by the prayers and
incantations OF the gypsies, the crowd
grew unruly. After persons living
in the vicinity complained two officers
were sent to the scene.
Unable to cope with the situation,
they called for help and the entire
force on duty at the time was con-
centrated there. It succeeded in
breaking up the crowd, and all the
queens" subjects, except members
Of her royal" family, left the scene.
The excitement was heightened. po-
lice said, when one of the gypsies re-
ported he had lost a diamond ring in
the crowd.
Queen" Ruby had been Ill several
days. and gypsies from New York, Ten
nessee and Florida joined the tribe
which has been stopping near Alexan-
dria in mourning as word spread that
the end was near.
