Policeman Suspended
In Shooting Of Boy;
Probe Continues
Leaders of CoIored
Organizations Ask
Dismissal of Officer

Capitol Police Sergt. Vernon o
Deus was under indefinite suspen-
sion today while the district attor-
ney's Office sought to determine
whether he should be prosecuted for
the accidental shooting last Mon
day of a 10-year- colored boy.
House Sergeant at Arms Kenneth
Romney announced the suspension
of the officer late Yesterday and
Capitol officials were studying the
case today to determine the full
measure of punishment to be i'm
posed on the officer fer what they
have termed negligence"
Confer on Case Today.
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran and his assistant, John w.
Fihelly, scheduled a conference to-
day to discuss the case, on the basis
of representations made to the dis
trict attorneys Office yesterday by
a group representing Negro Or
CARNATIONS.
The wounded boy is Fred Walker
jr., of 912 Fifth street NV, who
is in Casualty Hospital with bull
let wound in his neck. He was shot
accidentally in the Capitol police
guardroom after he and three other
children had been arrested for
swimming in the Capitol Plaza
fountain.
The children have charged that
the boy was wounded when the
policeman pointed his gun to fright
en- the child. The policeman said
the boy was wounded when the gun
went off as he was returning it to
the holster.
Deus Dismissal Sought.
The Negro leaders called at the
Capitol to ask for dismissal of the
policeman and for his prosecution.
They followed this up with a visit
to Mr.. Curran's Office, where they
charged that Sergt. Deus had
threatened the Walker boy before
the gun was fired.
Mr.. Romney, acting as chairman
of the Capitol Police Board, made
the suspension. He said it had not
been decided how long it would be
in effect or whether Sergt. Deus
would be reinstated eventually. The
action, he said, does not guarantee
the officers reinstatement, nor does
1t preclude it.
Children Charge Bullying"
The colored children charged that
the police were bullying" them in
the guard room and that the shoot
ing was the climax of a series of
intimidations.
The Police Board, after a pre-
1iminary study of the case, said
that it was obviously an accidental
shooting, but decided that Sergt.
Deus should be reprimanded and
punished for his carelessness in
handling his gun. He is one of the
handful of Capitol Police who are
armed and is rated as a pistol expert.

MINIMUM WAGE
 LEVELS HAMPER
Professor Hastings Points Out MOnOpOlistic Unions
 Menace to Nation

Maintenance of minimum wage levels serves to hamper business and will prove disastrous to the coun- try, said Prof. Hudson B. Hastings, of Yale university, in an address to members of the Industrial Fore mems club at the Y.M.C.A. last night. He asserted that many older workers are losing jobs because they have slowed up and cannot produce enough to warrant the minimum wages required by law.
 At present the situation is not too serious, Prof. Hastings said, be- cause many businesses do not yet come under minimum wage require- ment and jobs are available. But extension of the minimum wage program, he said, will throw millions out of work. Prof. Hastings asserted that labor will suffer unless 'inon- opoliStie" unions are curtailed.

The Japanese Towering Cherry Trees Of Washington, D. (.
BY LOUIS M. D. DORSCH Staff Winter Democrats Washington Bureau)

upon the suggestion of the Japanese consul general in New York, the mayor of Tokio cabled that 2,000 cherry trees were to be presented by the City of Tokio to the United States government for us in the City of Washington. as g. token of the good will and high esteem held by the Japanese for the people of the United States.
 The first shipment reached the United States in December, 1909. Some time previously the U. s. gov- ernment had become alarmed over diseases and new destructive insects imported with plants from foreign countries, and a Plant Quarantine Bureau had ben established. When the trees arrived at Seattle, the quarantine inspectors found them infested with insect pests and cer- tain fungus disease. The whole shipment was destroyed by burn ing.
 The Japanese people were irclin- ed to resent this treatment of their gift, Miss Skidmore explained the situation to the Tokio mayor when she later visited Japan Other American citizens instrumental in securing these trees were deeply grieved ov,r this misfortune and in January, 1910, Philander c. Knox, secretary of state, expressed to Count Yasuya Uchida, Japanese ambassador, the sincere regret that the destruction of the beautiful trees was a necessary precautionary measure MT. Knoxs eloquence touched Count Uchida, who suggest ed to his government that the City of Tokio be requested to send an- other consignment, and to take pre- cautions to keep the trees free from disease. The authorities at Tokio were quick to accept the suggestion, and the Okitsu Imperial Horticul- tural Station at Shizoukaken, Japan, was asked to undertake the propa- gation of these trees for shipment to the United States. In 1910, scions from different varieties of the towering cherry trees were taken from the river bank of Arakawa near Tokio and grafted on wild cherry root stock in special nurs- cry set aside for this purpose at the Imperial Horticultural Station. In December, 1910, these trees were lifted and prepared for shipment.
 They arrived at Seattle in March, 1912, and inspectors found them to- tally free of disease and insect pests.
 Official planting ceremonies at the Tidal Basin were performed on March 27, 1912, by Mrs. Taft, who planted the first tree. Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese am- bassador, planted the second tree. Only 8 small group witnessed the simple ceremonies. Bronze tablets g. the base of each these trees com- memorate the occasion.
