MISS INA ) - THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 19, 1921—PART 1. REQUESTS SHIFTING LIEUT. BURLINGAME Friction Believed Cause of Inspector Asking Trans- fer of Detective. Tnspector C. L. Grant, chief of de- tectives, has requested that Lieut. Guy E. Burlingame, in charge of the de- tective office from 4 p.m. to midnight, be transferred to a precinct, it was learned last night. Lieut. Burlingame was in charge of the detective bureau the early part of the night long before he was made a licutenant. He has never performed duty in a precinet in the capacity of a licutenant. Should Inspector Grant's recom- mendation be approved by Maj. Ges- ford, who probably will consuit Com- missioner Oyster, who has immediate upervision of the police department, will mean an_exchange of positions Licut.

Inspector Grant, the supermtendent stated, is in charge of the Aetective bureau and it is for him to d i and make recommendation res the personnel of his force. SENATOR SMITH DEFENDS GEORGIA AS LAW-ABIDING Declares Peonage Cases Should Not Brand Citizens of State as Fostering Crime. Crtmes committed in Georgia, for which two men have been convicted, should not be used as an indictment against all the people of the state, Senator Hoke Smith told the Georgia State Society at a meeting at the Playhouse, 1814 N street, last night. Senator Smith, who is president of the society, outlined his views on the recent “peonage” cases in his state. “It is unfair to Georgia and to Georgians to exaggerate charges of peonage generally in the state be- cause of one crime,” Senator Smith said. “The so-called ‘peonage’ cases. so far as I can learn, were limited to negroes who had been convicted in the courts of crimes and then sen- tenced to pay a fine or serve terms in the country chain gangs. Senator Smith said for years he op- posed the convict lease system and succeeded in breaking it up during his first term as governor. “You know, and should let it be known, that, with rare exceptions, the white people of Georgia are law-abiding citizens and treat the negroes justly and kindly,” he said. “The whole- sale tirade on the subject of ‘peonage’ is unwarranted and unjustifiable.” Miss Nell Adamson also spoke.

The John Brroughs Club hopes to find a spot in which a memorial circle of trees can be plant- ed for the late naturalist. At the meeting the following letter from Clara Barrus, secretary to John Burroughs, was read, in which she said: “I am heartily glad to know of the J. B. Club movement among children. It is the way he would like to be re- membered. Anything which helped to get the children in close toucn with nature had his hearty approval. He was not 80 keen about naiure study indoors, that was too much like study, to his thinking, but he always said if you would give them a chince to hobnob with nature they would learn to love her and not realize that they were studying her. He rejoiced in every effort to protect wild naturs, to ‘love the wi flower and leave it on its stalk,’ and all who knew him personally, or through his books, will, 1 feel sure, rejoice that this move ment is developing so successfully. | Neither HARRN~ Ewing MISS ROSA E.
