Prosecutor B. Gray Warner and
his staff performed their duty ex-
actly as it should have been per-
formed, in the Lawson case. Not
withstanding the fact that three
members of the Seattle Police force
were on trial for murder. The con-
viction secured is the proof of the
prosecutors application of duty.
Deputy Henry Clay Agnew, vet
eran of many famous legal battles
before he was connected with the
prosecutors office, led the prose-
cution. Chief criminal deputy Jack
Schermer assisted brilliantly. His
opening address to the jury was
masterful There never was any
doubt as to the guilt of the former
officers, two who had been ring
leaders in a wave of terror perpet-
rated against Negro citizens. The
jury's only point to decide was
whether TO convict them of man
slaughter or second degree muir
der.
The prosecutors o flee w a s
warm in it's praise for the North
west Enterprise and its stand to
stop the circulation of form let
ter. Mr.. Agnew was outspoken in
voicing his displeasure at any at
tempt to give unnecessary publ
city to the case. His objections
were that it would give the de-
Tense grounds to postpone the case
until the fall term, or receive a
possible change of venue. The line
of questioning employed by the
defense when selecting jurors prov
ed the logic of his objections.

tan Social Club; Youth Fraternity
No. 1, Sprite's Club, S.O.Y.A. Club,

most versatility, but the S.O.Y.A.
proved to be the most popular by
winning the most applause and
was awarded the silver cup for
this year. The CLUB winning the
cup three consecutive years will
be given the cup permanently.

won, and in 1886 the Young Ma

Separate Army
Division Opposed
By N. A. A. c. P.

NEW YORK, May 27.-In a let
ter to Congressman Hamilton Fish,
Jr., the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie has pointed out that while it
is in favor of hearings before a
House committee to place in the
record the discrimination against
Negroes in the army, it cannot in
dorse Congressman Fish's bill Oh.
r. 10166) which provides for the
creation of separate Negro divi-
sion in the army.
The association also has failed
to indorse H. R. 1O165 introduced
by Congressman Fish providing for
certain number of Negro candi-
dates in the dhilitary academy at
West Point.
The association indorses with
reservations H. r. 1854 which
seems to imply from it's language
that Negroes should be admitted
to all branches of the army. The
N. A. A. C. P. reserves the right
to withdraw this tentative indorse-
ment if the language of the bill be
interpreted to mean Negro units
in the various sections of the army.
The letter to Congressman Fish
was written May IL by Roy Will
kins, assistant secreatry, and is
made public because the N. A. A.
c. p. Endorsement of hearings on
these bills introduced by Mr.. Fish
was widely interpreted as indorse-
ment of the bills themselves. The
associations letter expressed the
hope that hearings would be held
so that an opportunity would be
given to place in the official rec
ords the gros discrimination
J, against Negroes in the army.

attended the University of Wash
ington. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. George e. Anderson, who
both passed away within the last
three years. Mrs. Marcenia Ander-
son, wife; Clarence r. Anderson,
Jr., five years; Alice and Ernie
Lewis, step-children, and Roy An
derson, brother, are left to mourn
his passing.
Attorney Anderson was instru-
mental in securing the enforcement
of the Civil Rights Bill on many
occasions. He was always a fight
er and held the respect of the
community. Mr.. Anderson was one
of the outstanding leaders in the
Republican party for years, and
when his party was in power he
secured many positions for men,
bers of the race. Also through pri-
vate sources he placed a number
of people in well paying jobs.
At the time of his death Mr.. An
derson was the president of the
local branch of the N. A. A. c.
P. He was a Mason, Shriner, and
an Elk. The entire city feels the
loss of valuable and progressive

fill in the community. Mr.. Ander-
son has been sick for over a year
but would not give up, and was
active at his offices until about
eight weeks ago.
