Wet m Stabbed Sunday and Tuesday
Assailants Held At Headquarters,
Charged With Assault

Two local citizens were serious
ly stabbed, one by a woman, the
other by a man, during drunken
brawls which took place here early
this week.
In an attempt to halt cutting
between two drunkards, James
Dennis, 81, of 1869 Rowena street,
was severely cut Tuesday night He
was conveyed to the Receiving
Hospital ~ John Henry, of 2414
Beaubien street, rem Adelaide and
Winder streets.
According to police records Dom
mis- in company with a woman
named Geraldine DeHaven, 9S4
Erskine street, was in blind pig
at 691 Adelaide where they became
involved in a drunken argument.
They went outside where Geraldine
started another argument with a
Arthu rBrown,. whose address was
unknown. The quarrel became so
furious that finally she drew a
knife and rushed toward Brown.
Dennis jumped in between them
and the blade intended for Brown
wounded Dennis in the abdomen.
Police arrested the DeHaven Wo-
man at midnight and she is being
held at Police Headquarters charg-
ed with felonious assault.

turned. AS the argument continu-
ed, Mrs. Young ordered the two
from the house. Duke left through

and hurled it at Robinson, at which
time the latter let fly a knife that
found its mark in Dukes body.

COMMISSION
GIVEN PRAISE

In report before the City FL
ection Commission this week, Rich
ard w. Reading, City Clerk and
chairman of the commission, COM
plimented the work of Oakley E.
Distin, chief supervisor of the City
Election Commission, and his staff
on the efficient and conscientious
way in which they have handled
the duties of the commission dur
ing the rush season.
During the period of registera-
ton the office staff at the City
Hall was increased to over a hun
dred and 80 clerks. Several Of
which were colored. Over six thou
sand board members will work at
the polls on election day. Fifteen
per cent of which will be colored.
Mr.. Reading said that the rea-
son why the registrations and the
recent primary election worked out
so we'll was largely due to the new
permanent registration system in
troduced by Mr.. Distin.
Permanent registration in De-
troit is shown by the fact that al
though 114,000 more voters were
registered in 1882 than in 1923,
when the old ledger book system
was used, the cost of registration,
including $36,S57 for permanent
equipment, was $14,759 less than
in 1898 "Mr. Reading pointed out
Oakley e. Distin, chief super
visor of the city election commits
sion, estimates that in four years
the permanent registration plan
will save estimates that in four
years the permanent registration
plan will save $4,000 of the tax
payers money. A similar average
for the rest of the state would
mean a saving of about $175,000
when it is figured also that per-
manent registration means an eco
nomy of time in voting, and does
away with a complete new regis
tration every fourth year, and a
lot of confusing charges in per-
manently bound books, the people
of Michigan can see that the new
system has been worth while. In
deed, a number of villages and
townships with less that 5000 peo-
pie and therefore not covered by
the mandatory feature of the act
has adopted permanent registera-
ton because they could see it was
a good thing, Mr.. Reading said.

SEGREGATION
CHARGED TO
WELFARE
Negroes Massed In
Attire d District
Records Show

An investigation is to be launch
ed by a joint committee from sew
eral prominent colored organiza-
tions to determine whether the
massing of colored relief case
workers and investigators into the
Alfred District is the first indica-
ton of a gigantic jim-crow plan to
be foisted upon Detroit by the new
welfare superintendent, G. r. Har-
ris, formerly superintendent Of Re-
ceiving Hospital.
In the new plan the IL old well
fare districts are consolidated TO
5; but II of the % colored workers
who held positions in these dis
tricts are concentrated in the AL
fred Station.
The committee has before its
consideration of the fact that the
colored population of Detroit is not
concentrated in the district en-
braced in the limits of the Alfred
Station. That this fact, however, is
largerly so, leads to the conclu-
sion that this arrangement is fea-
tured so that colored case-workers
can handle only colored relief fam
lilies, allowing white case-workers
to handle both white and colored
relief families.
NO WORKERS ON WEST SIDE
The committee points out that
there are no colored case-workers
west of Woodward Avenue, leaving
the whole of the east side, all of
the Eight mile road section and
Delray with no Negro Welfare
Workers at all.
1t will be recalled that in 1888
an attempt was made in the AL
fred District to segregate the col
ored workers; but so great was the
protest by these workers them
selves that the department, then I'M
der the guidance of John F. Bal
lenger, decided to divide the num-
Der Of colored workers and send
some Of them into each district
wher there were colored clients
Mr.. Ballenger resigned on July 80,
1886. Mr.. G. r. Harris took office
at that time and the plan to put
into effect this segregated system
was inaugurated.
FEAR ALL-NEGRO DISTRICT

Alfred District office is to show
further evidence Of segregation it
will appear in the form Of an all

plain that this type Of setup Is OBJ
