These fine May days it is rather difficult for we neighbors to stay inside, so we work diligently to get our shrimp picking chore fin ished early as possible to get out into the sun. Many of us enjoy the beautiful garden of Mrs. George Sumption as we pass by on our way to and from work George is skip per of the shrimp boat Sukie, so we have a neighborly interest of his lady's fine garden.
 Several have said to yorus truly that they enjoy some of the poems this department uses now and then. One in particular says she sends poem clipping to her hus- band who is off in another port fishing, if it expresses her lonesome ness. So here are some lines from Whittier for the lonesome wife to send hubby who likes poetry with his fishing:
 "I wandered lonely where the pine
 trees made
 Against the bitter East their barri-
 cade.
 And guided by the sweet perfume, I found within a narrow dell, The trailing spring flower tinted
 like a shell,
 And dry leaves and mosses at my
 feet.

Landlord Gets Az Years
For AssauItinq tenants

District Court Judge Edward A.
Tamm believes the country's edu-
cational institutions should stress
human relations and character.
The judge made his comment
yesterday. when he sentenced a
64-year-old landlord to serve from
four to IL years for assaulting
three tenants.
Sentenced to jail was William
r. McIllrath, who was convicted
last month Of shooting and
wounding one Of the tenants,
Joseph M. Sosa. and of striking
the latter's wife, Mrs. Mary Sosa,
and her sister with the butt Of
the pistol last July during rent
dispute. The assaults took place
in the house owned by McIllrath
in the 400 block of H street s.w.
Before imposing sentence, Judge
Tan1m said McIllrath had studied
at universities and had written
articles which were published in
magazines.
''It is unfortunate that, in our
education in this country. we do
not stress human relations more
and other subjects less" the judge
said. While we have become
most mature in science, invention
and formal education, our schools
are woefully lacking In character
education" s

Virginia Poll Tax
.Cha||engedb by
Woman in Suit
Alexandra Resident
Says She Was Denied
Voter Registration

Constitutionality of the Virginia
poll tax is challenged in a suit
filed yesterday at Federal District
Court. Alexandria, by an Arling-
ton colored womans who, claims
she was not allowed to register
to vote in her home precinct De-
cember Is.
The suit, filed by Attorneys
John Locke Green, Frank L. Bali
and j. Foster Hagan. in behalf Of
Jessie Butler, SIS, names the fol-
lowing persons as defendants:
Mary A. Thompson. central
registrar of Arlington; Levin Mock
Davis, secretary of the State Board
OF Elections; Matt G. Anderson
and Robert c. Bayliss, members
Of the State Board of Election.
and Marie H. Ewers, Robert Hill
leary and Eileen B. Gilligan,
judges at Woodlawn election pre-
cinct in Arlington.
Claims Rights Violated.
The suit claims Mrs. Thompson.
in refusing to register the plain
tiff, violated her constitutional
rights under the 14th and 18th
amendments and also violated
the Congressional Act of 1870
which admitted Virginia to repre-
sentation in Congress. Mr.. Green
said his client had not paid
poll tax when she tried to register.
According to the suit, the Vir-
ginia constitution ratified in 1867
granted all citizens the right to
vote except such persons as luna
tics. idiots and felons. Congress
in 1870. according to the suit.
admitted Virginia to representa-
ton in Congress with provision
that the State constitution shall
never be SO amended or changed
so as to deprive any citizen or
class of citizens of the right to
vote y"
The suit claims that a subse-
quent constitutional convention IN
Virginia in 1902 and acts of the
legislator setting up the poll tax,
violated the congressional act.
Asserts Ban Is Purpose.
Purpose of the poll tax, the
plaintiff claims, was to keep
Negroes from voting.
The suit further alleges that
although Virginia law requires as
sessment of the poll tax to every
resident over 81, only a small
fraction of the Negro population
is assessed. OF 1877, 1893 residents
over 81 in Virginia according to
the 1910 census, only 148,241
actually were assessed with the
poll tax, according to the suit. It
alleges that more than IS 900
OF the 49,151 unassessed residents
were Negroes. thereby preventing
them from registering and voting.
The suit asks $4,000 damages
from Mrs. Thompson for refusing
to register the plaintiff. It further
asks the court to order the State
election officials to register the
plaintiff and permit her to vote
in all elections.
