WASHINGTON, May 3.-NoW l know what they mean by Washing ton underground.
 No city in the country, without a subway system, is so honey combed with tunnels, catacombS, conduits and below-surface pas- sages as the nations capital. It's mystery writer's undiscovered de- light.
 The capitol itself is center of a spider-web of tunnels and steam pipe conduits that finger their way to the House and Senate of- flee buildings, to the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court Building and down the capitols backyard to the Botanical Gar denS.
 Deeper down under the capitol and the cluster of buildings there are the railroad tunnels that run from the Union Station.
 There's hardly government office building that doesn't have it's tunnels connecting with an an- mex, new or a sister building. All in all, there probably are miles of these alone-but there's nothing mysterious or eerie about them. They are lighted and tiled

PUT OFF BUS
On his way from New York,
Montgomery revealed that he was
put off the bus near Winchester,
Va, because he and other Negroes
would not give up their seats to
white passengers who boarded the
commercial vehicle. Montgomery
said he had to walk to a farm
house, telephone long distance for
a taxi and finally called New York
before he could secure ticket
and continue ON his way to Chat
tanooga and Atlanta.
Montgomery was IN Detroit a
year before he went to New York.
In the Michigan city he worked as
janitor for while and was un-
employed for about six months.
1t was Detroit that he had to
face hearing for an assault
charge of which he was acquitted
The white press capitalized on his
arrest on a charge similar to that
for which he had been arrested il
Alabama, said little or nothing OF
his acquittal.
Montgomery said that he had
done everything he could to secure
the release Of the imprisoned
Scottsboro Boys. With Willie Robin
son, Eugene Williams and Roy
Wright, he appeared on New York's
Apollo Theatre stage, in Baltimore
and in Washington, D. c., in the
effort to secure funds. When that
venture failed because of poor
managing by others, Montgomery
and Wright went on speaking
tour. Since then the boys have
led separate lives, some being in
the charge of interested people in
the North.
In response to the query of what
has become of the other released
Scottsboro Boys, Montgomery re-
vealed the following:
Willie Robinson, also an Atlanta
boy, is in Brooklyn, New York,
which he has not left since the
date he arrived there after the
July "a, 1887, sensational release
Sick with asthma, Robinson is re-
ported as unemployed.
Eugene Williams has been in
Chicago since the release, having
been placed in the care of the late
DR.. L. K. Williams, Baptist lead
er. How he is faring now was not
Known.
Roy Wright was learning to press
clothes in New York shop when
Montgomery last saw him several
months ago. Wright was placed ir
the Bordentown industrial school
and cared for by "Bill' Robinson,
