Coins Serre as Job and Hobby
For Aide to Director of Mint
Mrs. Edness Wilkins Has
Many Rarities in 4.Year
Collection.

All day long, five and one-half days
a week, Mrs. Edness Wilkins is busy
with her duties as secretary to Mrs.
Nellie Tayloe Ross, whose Job as di-
rector of the mint requires her to see
that Americans have plenty of coins
available, provided they are able to
earn same. In her spare time, Mrs.
wilkins takes her mind off business
with hobby-collecting coins.
She began indulging only four years
ago, when she first became connected
with the mint, and since that time
has gathered together several hundred
items, one of which is a half-disme
(they spelled it that way in those
days. which is supposed to have been
made out of some of Martha Wash

Staunchly defending their stands,
the Garments Union and officials of

Ben w. Mari, president of the

Mr.. Marr said the utility could not,
under present business conditions,
grant a demanded wage increase to
81 and IS cents an hour
Il have no meetings scheduled with
the union." he said. My door is open
to employees. We will have to await
developments"
The present scale calls for 81 to 63
cents an hour
Besides the wage demand, the union
asked a closed shop agreement. Mr..
Marr said he refused because "the
union represents only minority of
employees" but John Getreu, president
of the Columbus Federation of Labor.
claimed the union covered "about
two-thrds" of the systems 450 oper-
ators and maintenance men.

Cling over coins, one of the leaders in
the coin-collecting game here being
Thomas H. Chapman OF the Division

Mrs. Wilkins says she has never at
tempted to place an exact value on her
own collection, but regards 1t as more
or less invaluable as pastime.
Largest coin in her portfolio is an
English cartwheel, made of bronze
and weighing almost ounces. Not
many of these were cast, because after
about a year the English found the
whole country was getting hump
backed and wearing holes in its pock-
cts trying to carry around enough
cartwheels to make change.
After conversing amiably for
while about her own coins, Mrs. Will

Marshall Wins
First NV. Negro
Colfing Title

The First Annual Negro North
west Open Golf Tournament held
last Monday at Jefferson Park
Golf Club turned out to be one of
the most brilliant sporting events
of the current season. One of the
largest and most enthusiastic gall
leries ever to follow a golf match
was on hand to see Frank Mar
shall crowned first champion of all
colored golfers in the Northwest
by shooting 78-80-158 for thirty
six holes of medal play. From the
first hole to the thirty-sixth there
was never any doubt as to the out
come. Marshall's steadiness in all
departments of his game, especial
ly around the greens, earned him
the title he now wears. His near
est rivals, Ben Beasley, Ed john
son, and Hayward Bascom, could
not cope with the blistering pace
set by the champion.
Hayward Bascom was the low
handicap winner in the first div
ision, while Lawrence Payia took
second division honors with Bob
Woods runner up.
Lonnie Shields and Ben Beasley
were the winners of the long drives
on numbers and II respectively.
Marshall placed his tee shot closest
to the pin on number 16 for his
second prize of the day. Clarence
Lightfoot nosed out Charlie Scurry
to win the southpaw championship.
All winners received beautiful
trophies and prizes. The committee
wishes to express gratitude to E.
mil Sick, Sam Taniguchi, Wilson
Sporting Goods, Spalding Bros,
Inc, and the Pacific Coast Golfer
for their kind contributions.
A complete list of the Compel
itors included, J. H. Shannon, EN-

sell Walton, Roy Holmes, Ben Bea-
sley, Ed Johnson, Ed Murray,

Bannick Seeks Office
of Sheriff of King Co.

Supported by an outstanding SER
vice of eight years in the sheriff's
office of King County, Claude G..
Bannick, noted police officer, is
seeking that position again.
Prior to his sheriff incumbency,
Bannick served Seattle as chief of
police under two mayors. His Wig
orous and effective war on crime
over a period of many years has
brought him the respect of local
citizens and national renown as
well.
1T is needless for me to say that
as sheriff, 1 shall inpartially en-
force the law. My own record is
proof of that" Mr.. Bannick states.
Effective law enforcement poll
cies and economical and efficient
conduct of the office will be my
detectives"
Mr.. Bannick is a long time Sc
attic leader, and resides in the Ma
drona with his wife and six chill

DR.. Cooper Gives Own Party Tongue
Lashing at Rep. Banquet Thursday
Appearance of Candidate Henry Clay Agnew Is
Signal for Thunderous Applause
BY Bertha M. Lewis

The Republican banquet held at
Mount Zion Baptist Church on
Thursday evening last, was one of
the outstanding gatherings held in
recent years. the community as a
whole came out and broke bread
with the club.
The venerable E. I. Robinson,
president of the King County Col
ored Republican Club, veteran of
many a stirring political battle.

the main address. He chose for
his subject, why We Left"
DR.. Cooper's eloquence held the
vast audience spellbound, as he
told not so much of the Repub-
leans sins of commission, but of
their sins of omission. He arose
to heights when, in voice full of
emotion and pathos, he told how
the Republicans, his party, and not
the Democrats defeated the Anti
Lynch Bill.
When Henry Clay Agnew, can
didate for the office of prosecuting
attorney made his entry he was
greeted with a burst of applause
that lasted well over two minutes.
The crowd pleaded and begged
that he be allowed to speak for a
few moments, but fast rule a
gainst candidate speaking had
been made, so in fairness te the
others, who voiced their approval
of Mr.. Agnew speaking, the chair
man would not permit him to

it was one of the hardest tasks he
had ever had to do.

ficiaIs claim that the only reason
adequate relief is not forthcoming
is the lack of money by the State.
The Committee said it was rather
ironical that there was no money
available for hungry people, still
plenty for stool-pigeons to scamper
around the night spots posing as
wealthy play-boys.
PoIice-Sheriff Efficient
There is no question as to the eff
ficiency of the Seattle Police de-
partment in the apprehension and
prevention of crime and vice. How
ever, they take cognizance of the
human element, and as the police
of any metropolitan city, use COM
mon sense tempered with toler-
ance. The same can be said for
the sheriff's office. So why, say
those who are protesting, should
two law enforcement agencies ca
pable and trained be duplicated
by the State Liquor Board. That
is an out and out waste of the peo-
pies money, and, with old age PEN
sions being cut and in many in
stances discontinued, it is a crime
against the needy and aged, also
an effrontery to the police depart
ment and sheriff's office, they con-
cluded.
The committee says that in the
very near future they will have in
formation from certain distilleries
whose products are not obtainable
on the Seattle market, also COM
plete information on efforts that
were made to secure a Negro clerk
at a store where thousands of dol
lars are spent by the race.
