in command at the arsenal and who
led the Army contingent" Duhamel
told The Star. Il was then in the
Signal Corps at Fort Myer."
In connection with the death OF
Lincoln, Duhamel said that on April
IS, 1865, a soldier came to the door
of his parents home and inquired il
his father, DR.. William j. c. Duhamel
had treated a man with an injured
leg Not long after the soldiers de-
parture he heard the bells tolling the
news OF Lincoln's assassination. DR.
Duhamel, as a surgeon with the Army
OF the Potomac, had treated the

Duhamel remembers nothing of spe-
cial interest about other inaugurations
While President johnson had no pub
lie inaugural ceremony for him to
witness, he recalls several visits to the
White House during Johnsons regime
when his father was presidential phy-
sician. President Johnson patted him
on the head and gave him candy on
one occasion.

ORATORY TROPHY
WINS APPROVAL
Junior Commerce Board to Spon.
sor Contest on National
Representation."

Establishment of an oratorical con-
test trophy sponsored by the District
Junior Board of Commerce in five
local high schools on the topic Of
National Representation for the Dis
trict of Columbia" was unanimously
approved by the National Representa-
ton Committee of the local board
yesterday at the Hotel Harrington.
THE project will educate the chill
dren and their listeners and will clear
up great deal of the confusion Of
national representation with local suf-
frage currently prevalent" Leo N.
Mcguire, committee chairman, said in
introducing the suggestion.
"A great many people oppose efforts
to obtain national representation be-
cause they are under the impression
that local suffrage is involved. Our
idea is that the debate should be upon
the proposed amendment, which is
an enabling act permitting Congress
to pass legislation allowing the Capt.
tai to vote on the President and Vice
President, to have House representa-
ton according to population and one
or two Senators"
MCGUIRE further explained that
after conducting this educational
project here, he had in mind the
education of people in the several
States through the Junior Boards of
Commerce elsewhere.
I'VE must have something to show
for ourselves before we can expect
the aid Of other groups" he said.
The committee recommendation will
be put before the Board of Directors
of the Junior Board Of Commerce at
a meeting at the Hotel Mayfiower
tonight.

tion Here.

The District Commissioners today
declined to investigate charges that
the Police Department during the past
10 years has been unduly cruel to
members of the colored race
A delegation of some 80 white and
colored members of the Interracial
Committee presented a review OF al
legged cases of cruelty covering the
last decade and demanded that new
instructions be given police in this
connection.
1t was charged in a written state
ment read by Harlan E. Glazier, a
member of the committee. that in so
police killings during the last 10 years
40 of the victims were colored persons.
Glazer also asserted that in the in
vestigations growing out of the al
legged killings only one police officer
was removed from the force. This Of
flcer was identified as L. L. Jackson.
the only colored officer involved in any
Of the cases.
A number Of spokesmen for the COM
nittee. made charges that the killing
Of Lawrence Basey. q. on last August
) resulted in retirement of Officer
Vivien H. Landrum, instead of prose-
cution, after two coroners' juries had
Investigated the case.
Hazen Denies Jurisdiction.
Commissioner Hazen said that such
cases as the Basey incident should
be handled by the District attorney
rather than by the District Commis-
sioners and declined to comment fur
ther as to whether the death of Basey
was justified under the circumstances.
John Davis, spokesman for the Ma
tional Negro Congress, demanded that
an investigation of alleged police bru-
tality be made to satisfy what he
claimed was general feeling through
out the country that Washington po-
lice are unduly cruel and intolerant to
members Of the colored race.
H. D. Woodson, representing the
Northeast Boundary Civic Association,
asked the Commissioners to use their
influence to have more colored men
appointed to the police force. He
charged that white policemen arrest
Negro offenders on the slightest provo
cation, whereas colored policemen are
inclined to be tolerant and do more
to prevent arrests.
Edward P. Lovett, attorney for the
National Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People, charged that
police officers in dealing with colored
persons conduct themselves some
times as gangsters."

Approach of another inaugural cere-
mony has revived in James F. Du-
hamel, veteran patent attorney, men,
ories of an Inauguration day 70 years
ago, when he stood in two-horse
carriage on Pennsylvania avenue and
saw the tall, smiling Abraham Lin
coin doffing his beaver hat to ap.
plauding throngs.
Duhamel, then years old, says the
picture of Lincoln arising and bowing
in his reSplendent carriage as he re-
turned from taking his second oath
of Office, remains vivid to this day.
while I did not see Lincoln being
sworn in that day." Duhamel said, Il
remember distinctly witnessing the in
augural parade as it passed the corner
of Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue, about where the Temperance
Fountain is located
Stood in Carriage.
Il stood in my fathers carriage SO
that 1 could peer over the heads of
the crowd. There was a large as
semblage of people packing the four
corners of the intersection. They
broke into applause as President Lin
coin appeared.
Arising from his seat in the presi-
Dental carriage the President doffed
his beaver first to one side and then
to the other, which brought forth an
other round of cheers.
"Just about one month later I saw
his funeral procession on Pennsyl-
vania avenue"
Another inaugural day that stands
out in Duhamel's memory Is that Of
Grants second Inauguration, when
the temperature dropped to 4 degrees
below zero. Some OF the paraders had
to drop out Of line, due to the bitter
ness of the weather, he recalls.
Cleveland's first Inauguration took
place on Springlike day, he said in an
interview, but his second parade was
marred by a blizzard that swept the
reviewing stands with snow and wind
and forced many spectators to leave
for places of shelter.

H0EPPEL REFUSED
FREEDOM PLEA
Justice Adkins Quashes
Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus.

The latest try for freedom by for
mer Representative John H. Hoeppel
of California, now serving time in the
District work house at Occoquan,
failed in District Court today when
Justice Jesse c. Adkins granted a
motion to quash his petition for a writ
OF habeas corpus.
Hoeppel and his son, Charles J
Hoeppel, were convicted year ago last
Point appointment for $1,000. Both
were sentenced to serve from four
months to one year.
About two weeks ago the elder
Hoeppel filed petition for his release
on a habeas corpus writ, alleging that
a member Of the trial jury was not a
resident of the District.
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett personally argued in opposi-
tion to the petition, saying the De-
partment of Justice was afraid that
liberation of Hoeppel might set a
precedent which would allow Federal
prisoners throughout the country to
flood the court here with habeas
corpus proceedings.
In granting the motion to quash,
Justice Adkins held that the District
Court was without jurisdiction.
I'm order to give this court juris-
diction the confinement should be in
the District of Columbia" he pointed
out.
The District Work House is located
in Virginia and without the territorial
jurisdiction of the local courts.
The jurist added that "the nom
residence of a trial juror does not
render a conviction void nor entitle
the accused to be discharged on q
habeus corpus"
This supported the position taken
by the district attorney, that objec-
ton to the alleged non-residence Of
the Juror should have been made dur
ing the trial and incorporated in the
appeal.
