OAK BLUFFS, Mass.-The town
of Oak Bluffs was awakened at five
o'clock Monday morning, May IS by
the fire alarm siren which called the
community to Pocasset and Uncus
Avenues where the cottage occupied
by Miss Virginia Swan, a two-story
wooden structure, was afire and blaz-
ing furiously.
Miss Swan, Familiarity known as
Aunt Swanee, had lived there for
several years. She lived alone and for
about fortnight had been confined to
her home. Sometime during the night
or early morning an undiscovered fire
started in the room where Miss Swan
was sleeping and before the neighbors
were aware of it and could give the
alarm the entire building was a huge
sheet of flame. When the firemen
reached the scene the cottage had
almost burned to the ground.
Miss Swan was burned to death.
Her charred remains were beyond
recognition. She was SO years old.
Born in Virginia during slavery she
had been a resident of Oak Bluffs for
more than so years, and was recog-
nized as one of the old landmarks"
of this island community.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon, May IA at Freigh Funeral
Home, Rev. Oscar E. Dennistor, pas
tor of Bradley Memorial Baptist
Church, officiating. Interment was in

RAPS WALSH indifference

Alfred Baker Lewis, Secretary of the
Greater Boston Branch of the NAACP,
asserted that David l. Walsh was
either totally ineffective in his position
as Chairman of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee, or else he was
guilty of not telling the truth. For
Senator Walsh has asserted that he is
opposed to discrimination in any
branch of the military service against
colored citizens, but the Chief of the
Bureau of Navigation at the Navy
Department brazenly asserts:
"After many years of experience,
the policy of not enlisting men of the
colored race for any branch of the
naval service except the messman
branch, was adopted to meet the best
interests of general ship efficiency"
There is no record of any vigorous
public protest by Senator David l.
Walsh against such discrimination

said Mr.. Lewis. evidently when
Senator Walsh says he is opposed to
discrimination against colored men in
the military forces he merely means
that he wants the votes of the colored
citizens of Massachusetts. For besides
not protesting, he is unable, if he really
opposes segregation, to get his views
adopted by the Navy Department
although he occupies the powerful
position, in respect to the Navy, of
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs.
DISCRIMINATION against citizens with
Colored blood has been practiced in the

denied all opportunity to enlist in the
