RACIAL“PROTEST " HLTED BY POLE i White Residents of Blpdming dale Order Colorett Fam-- - ilies From Homes. H T More than 500 white property hold- ers -in the Bloomingdale section of the city and many living along North Capltol street above Florida avenue gathered at 1st and U streets north- west last night, marched on the homes of three colored residents of the nelghborhood and demanded that they vacate thelr property. Assist- ance was offered by the white prop- erty holders to the colored owners in finding purchasers for their prop- i I idents of As the group of white residents of the neighborhood moved from house to house reserves of the elghth pre- oinct, led by Capt. C. L. Plemmons, arrived and requested leaders of the throng to disperse. This was done after they had handed an ultimatum to two colored residents of the neigh- borhood. Those notified were Dr. D. W. Woodard of Flagler place and W street, a professor at Howard Unl- verstiy, and Lawrence Prince, a Pull- man porter, llving at 2205 Flagler lace. P attempt was made to hand the uitimatum to the residents of the house at 143 U street, occupied by William F. Clark, but as a woman came to the door in response to a ring on_the doorbell, a photographer set off his flashlight and the woman olosed the door before the ultimatum could be handed in. Origin of Protest. The move of the white residents of the neighborhood was the result of a resolution passed at a meeting of the North Washington Citizens' Assocla- tion, meeting at the United Brethren Church last Monday night, proposed by Henry Gilligan and passed by the aesoclation, urging all white residents of the neighborhood to join in a pro- test against €olored persons purchas- ing property and residing in that sec- tlon of the city. Mr. Gilligan, Robert M. Yost, president of the association; Guy W. Numbers, secretary, and sev- eral other leaders in the civic organ- fzatlon led the march on the homes of the colored residents last.night. The movement was carried out peace- ably and without resort to threats or admonitions. The colored residents read the “ultimatum” handed them, but made no comment, Text of the “Ultimatum.” The “ultimatum” reads as follows: “These men and women here are property holders of Bloomingdale and they want vou to know they resent to the limit vour purchase of the property in this section and par- ticularly your moving into the prop- erty. You may not have known that vou were buying property in a white neighborhood, but whether or not you knew this, you did buy, and we want you to know that we expect you to vacate these premises We will help vou to find a purchaser for the property and will co-operate with You in any and every way pos- sible if you will indicate to us that you will 'do the wise and courageous thing—move out. We know the leaders of your own race agree with this proposition.” Leaders Act Individualy, Leaders of the group of white property holders made it plain that their undertaking was an individual one, without the backing of the North Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion, although the entire matter has been discussed at association meet- ings. Mr. Gilligan is chairman of the housing committes of the asso- ciation and has, for the past several months, been busy getting signatures of white property holders that they will not sell to colored buyers. Mr. Gllligan's Statement. Mr. Gilllgan today said: “We want it distinctly understood that the property holders of Bloom- ingdale are not unfriendly to the col- ored people, but we also want it un- derstood that we resent both the sale by white people and the purchase by colored people of property In our sectlon. Our people are home-loving, church-going and substantial eiti- zens, who have in most cases invested all we have in our property, and we simply cannot and will not sit quietly by while all we have is threatened. “I am glad to say that, with two or three notable exceptions. the real estate men of the District have shown a commendable spirit of co-operation. We are hopeful the three families re- ferred to will give us the opportunity to take their property off their hands, and we are a unit, I believe, in the determination to save Bloomingdale to the white people.” COLLEGE INAUGURAL DRAWS NOTABLES 3 WILLIAM S.

Silverman was the representa- tive here of Silverman & Brothers, O'Leary sald. Having refreshed his’ recollection from documents at the Veterans' Bu- reau, O'Leary told the committee to- day that on the occasion of a visit to the White House December 12, 1922, he had given an explanation of the sales to the President, but not a list of the materials sold. “The President was not satisfied with that,” O'Leary said, “and he re quested that am appraisal be made.” Commander O'Leary exhibited a large bundle of papers, which, he sald, were a copy of the report on the 'sales taken to the President on December 27 or 29. - The witness asked for the produc- tion of loading sheets showing the conditlon of the goods shipped from Perryville. He sald these were pre- pared by Nebins B. Hendrix, store- keeper at Perryville, and asserted they Would contradict Hendrix's testlmony as to the excellent condi- tion of much of the goods. John F. O'Ryan, general counsel for the committee, asked O'Leary if he had conferred with Forbes overnight with reference to the Perryville sale. The reply was in the negative, the witness saying Forbes was too ill last night to discuss any mat- ters. The former director was not present at the hearing today. It was the first time he had been absent in two weeks. Pressed by O'Ryan, O'Leary said he had conferred with' Forbes on the whole scope of the investigation since Forbes arrived here from Seattle on the day the hearings opened. DOREMUS RE-ELECTED AS MAYOR OF DETROIT By tie Associated Press. DETROIT. November 7.—Mayor Frank E. Doremus was re-elected yesterday at the non-partisan muni- cipal election-on the.face of returns compiled by the Detroit’ Free Press. The mayor was leading about § to 1, 196 precincts out of 609 giving Doremus 19,338 and Thomas C. O'Brien, his opponent, 2451. A flory cross was set up and ignited at the east entrance of the eity hall shortly before the polls for the municipgl election closed here at 8 o'clock last night. The cross burned for some time before it wi extinguished by a chemical company from the fire department.

ESTIMATES Total Approved by Bureau' of Budget Now Exceeds $26,800,000. With the District estimates sched- uled to go to Congress next month aggregating slightly more than $26, 800,000, the Commissioners today are gratified at the consideration shown them by the bureau of the budget. It was announced in The Star ten days ago that the budget bureau had agreed to raise the District esti- mates well above $26,500,000. It is understood that the figure now deter- mined upon is a little more than $26,800,000. Since the original limitation placed on the District was $26,144,882, it is apparent that the budget director has ‘added nearly $2.000.000 as & result of the urgent appeals made to him by the Commissioners and local budget officer, Danlel J. Donovan. Although the top flgure asked for by the city fathers was $32,500,000, they are not disappointed over not recelving that amount. On the cons trary, they feel that the budget offi- clals’ displayed a sympathetic and helpful attitude toward the National Capital. The Commissioners now hope the subcommittees of the Senate and House In charge of the District bill will not cut anything from the esti- mates as they are about to emerge from the careful scrutiny of the Treasury Department. All of the $2,000,000 that has been added to the original limitation is for schools, street Improvements, sewer extenslons, police and fire pro- tection or similar urgent work. It is reported that allowance has been made for a small increase In the number of policemen. The fire-de- partment has obtained provision for some new apparatus, the purchase of a large amount of hose and sites for new engine houses. PROTEST RENDVAL OF “DEATA POLES” IDangerous Situation in Traf- fic Created, Capital Trac- tion Company’s View. The so-called “death poles” that formely stood at 14th and F, H and I streets northwest may be down, but they are not out, as far as discussion of them is concerned, The Capital Traction Company, through its vice president, John H. Hanna, today protested to the Pub- lic Utilities Commission against the summary removal of the poles with- out giving the company an oppor- tunity to be heard. These poles were erected to desix- nate islands of safety for street car passengers, but a number of auto- imoblles crashed into them during the few weeks they were in service, and the commission Monday ordered them taken down immediately. A letter from the Capital Traction “ompany declares the removal of the oles has created “an extremely dan- erous situation at 14th and H and 1 treets. The letter points out that since Madison place was barred to south- bound traffic the volume of dowatown traffic on 14th street has increased greatly and adds to the danger of luccidents at H and I strets, where scores of persons alight from street « I 2 | ‘We believe,”” said Mr. Hanna, “that |street car passengers are as much | entitled to protection as are motorists jand that the establishment of proper saftey zones is equally beneficlal to lcareful motorists, as it allows them to_pass standing street cars in safety.” Mr. Hanna said shown that a safety isle designated merely by painted white lines is prac- The company, he sald, prefers the loading platform wherever it is possible.

BELGIUM EXPLAINS. By the Assoclated Press. COBLENZ, Germany, November 7.— The Belglan high commission, reply ing to the protest of Joseph Matthes against the part taken by the Belgian mlilitary In compelling the separat- ists to evacuate the bufldings they had captured at Alx-la-Chapelle last week, says It is impossible to nego- tiate with the Rhineland republic, as that regime has never been recog- nized either as a de jure or a ge facto government. The Belgian action at Alx, the reply says, was entirely leghl, as the first duty of the Belgian {{hlnvlaud forces is to suppress vio- ence. ENTERTAIN BISHOP ANDMRS.

Freeman. bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Washing- ton, and Mrs. Fregman were guests of honor at a reception given by the members of St. Alban's parish at St Alban's Church’ last night.

Praising the spirit in St. Alban's parish, Bishop Freeman urged that religion of today be not somber and sad, but colorful, and “make life splendid and rich.” “Modern concep tion of our religion is nearer the New Testamént than ever before,” he de- clared.

HULL AND ADAWS MAKE STATEMENT Chairmen of Demooicggi?- a+d Republican Parties:Com- ment on Elections. Both the republican and democratic national committees {ssued state- ments today on the results of yester- day’s elections in several states. The democratic committee vowed it an overwhelming and smashing demo- cratic victory, while the republican committee also appeared to be very well pleased with the outcome. Claim that “altogether the results of Tuesday's elections are a cause both for rejolcing and jubilation for democrats and confirm ‘the certainty of a national victory in 1924 was embodied in a statement issued by Chairman Hull of the democratic na- tional committee. The statement further declared: Text of Hull's Statement. “The overwhelming smashing dem- ocratic victories in Kentucky, Mary- land and downstate New York and he re‘atrely mincr and local deme c-atle victories elsswhere furaish ad- @iti-rial proof tla the voters of the coantry are against the reactionary- . nir ie¢ repubi’can nat ral adwin: stratioa iu particuci= and &gainst tuc republican party in sections where the reactionaries are In control of that party. “The Kentucky statewids eiection vas 2 fair and decisive test between democraiic ~and repubiican policie and between the people and the re- publican n:tional administration.

The result was a chunga of between 76,000 and 80,000 votes in favor of the democratic candidats, as compared with the gubernatoria® giest'on of 1919, whon the republican candil e for governor had a majority of 40.000. National Issues Figure. “Both natlonal and local issues fig- ure in the Maryland election, and the big increase In the democratic ma- jority and the triumphant election of the whole ticket in the state and the city ticket in Baltimore shows the growth of democratic sentiment typical of the country at large and confirms all previous evidence that the country is democratic where the race is between major candidates. . “The desertion of republican voters is also confirmed by the reduction of vl|n— republicafi majority in Vermont by approximately 10,000 compared with the senatorial election of 1 . “The only item of uncertainty Is over the result in the twenty-fourth congressional district of New York, normally a strong republican district, but which was wrested from that party in 1922 in the democratic con- gressional landslide Altogether the results of Tuesday's ections are a cause both for grati- ration and jubllation by democrats and confirm the certainty of a demo- cratic national victory in 1924 Chalrman Adams of the republican national committee made the follow- ing_statement: “Tuesday's election declded one United States senatorshin and six members of the House of Representa- tives in uorthern states. Of these six congressional contests, cne in Hli- nols and two in New Yori state wer in districts hopelessly democratic. One New York district and the Vcr. mont district are normally republican.

Neither was there any comment in the Haynes statement concerning the campaign waged by the “dry" Philadelphia North Ameri- can against the methods of present administration of the dry laws. In some quarters, however, it Was con- sidered a strange coincidence that the new campaign striking for co-opera- tion among the “higher-ups” in ob- servance of the Volstead act should land in the Pennsylyania metropolls, following two shafts of criticism against dry enforcement methods.

FIELDS' KENTUCKY VICTORY DECISIVE Full Membership in House and Half of Senate Elected by Democrats. By the Assoclated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky, November Any doubt as to the outcome of the race between Charles 1. Dawson, re- publican, and Willlam J. Fields, dem- ocrat, for Governor of Kentucky was | removed early today when repub- lican state headquarters here an- nounced Mr. Dawson had conceded victory in Tuesday's state-wide elec- tion to his opponent. Mr. Ficlds ap- parently had led the entire democratic state ticket to victory Incomplete and unofficial returns compiled by the Courler-Journal from 113 of the 120 counties in Kentucky, with 451 precincts missing, show 4 lead for Mr. Fields of 53,04 votes. That control of the general as- sembly would remain in the hands of the democrats was indicated on the face of incomplete unofficial returns. Full membership of the lower house and half of the senate was elected. The election, which came after a hotly contested campaign, in which the national issues were coupled with those of the state by speakers for each party, was not without its po- lMtical “upsets.” Probably the most striking reversal in form occurred the fifth congressional disjrict, bracing Louisville and Jeffe county: unofficial returns from of the 759 precincts in the district showed a lead for Mr. Fields of 3,808 votes. In the presidential election of 1920 the district returned a re- publican majority of 12,156 vote During the campaign democratic speakers attacked the state and na tional _republican administrations while republican leaders pointed to what they declared were accomplish- ments of the administration in ask- ing support for their party. And voters were told by representatives of both parties that astute political observers, all over the country had their spyglasses trained on the Ken- tucky election to discover possible indications as to the probable trend in_the 1924 presidential election Unfavorable weather conditions, with rain ttered sections all over the state, coupled with roads in many rural and mountain districts, | which were reported to have been rendered almost impassable by recent downpours, combined to cut down sharply possibility of the full poten- tial vote being registered in {BONDING OF AUTOISTS IS TRAFFIC AID PLAN (Continued from Fi evil in the business areas was made by Mr. Kinnan, who at the same time scored the drivers of delivery trucl whom he characterized as irrespon- sible and lacking in intelligence and judgment.

King. 1346 G street south- east, took up nearly two hours ex- {plaining a plan for eliminating dan- ger at street crossings. King ap- peared as a champion of pedestrian rights. v As a means of forcing motorists to slow down at intersections King rec- ommended that steel hurdles, six inches high, be placed across the streets at intersections. These ob- structions, he declared, would compel {the driver of a machiné to slow down Dbefore crossing an intersection to at least three miles an hour. King also urged that pedestrian cross walks be | changed from the corners to the mid- dle of the block and that a traffic officer be stationed at these points solely to direct pedestrian traffic. Erecting of iron fences along the curb from corner to corner to prevent pedestrians from crossing at points other than the designated cross walks was another of King's recommenda- tions. 2 The cominittee apparently did not look with favor upon King's plan. Chairman Ball said he did not believe that the government would place ob- stacles in the streets to endanger the lives of occupants of motor vehicles, while the cost of erecting iron fences along the curb would be prohibitive and not in the interest of economy. Lieut. Col. H. H. Sheets, O. R. C., warned Senator Ball that his propo- sal to supplant the traffic officers with surplus soldiers and marines would serlously handicap recruiting. “The Army is 13,000 men short today, with the prospect of this number being increased to 75,000 before next June,” sald Col. Sheetz. “Put the soldiers on police duty in any city and see how many recruits the Army gets.

TAVIMANY ELA ATBEATING HEARSII' Republicans Hold ‘Assembly. Gain One Seat in - Congress. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November T7.—The Tammany tiger purred today, not only because of the sweeping victory yesterday, but because it had downed Willlam Randolph Hearst in his ju- diclary contests in Manhattan and the Bronx. Charles. F. Murphy, leader of Tam- many Hall, today issued a statement in which he 'attacked Willlam Randolph Hearst for his fallure to support the democratic judiclary ticket in yester- day’s election. He said the voters, by their ballots, had rebuked Mr. Hearst for his attl- tude. Gov. Smith, who, during the cam- palgn, made several attacks on the “edftor-politiclan,” ~also ~issued a statement expressing satisfaction over the defeat of thg Jjudiciary can- didates supported by the ~Hearst newspapers. Republicans Hold Assembly. The republican representation in the New York assembly, the lower house of the legislature, was increas- ed by six members in yesterday's election. The 1924 assembly will be composed of 87 republicans and €3 democrats. The present assembly is made up of 81 republicans and 69 democrats. Democratic candidates for the ten Justices of the supreme court in Man- hattan and the Bronx defeatedthe candidates on the republican and the republican-independent ticket, Sup- perted by Hearst, by an average plu- rality of more than 130,000. A proposed constitutional amend- ment to legalize a bonus of $45,000,- 000 for ex-service men was favored by a_ big margin, but a proposed amendment to permit the use of part of the state forest preserve for the development of water power was de- feated decisively. New York city voted “y on “a referendum as to whether the minimum of policemen and firemen should be 32,500 a year. The republicans made a gain of one seat {n the four congressional elec- tions In New York state. Former Representative Benjamin L. Fairchild, republican, was elected in the twenty-fourth district in the elec- tion made necessary by the death of J. V. Ganly, democrat. Sweet Succeeds Mott. In the thirty-second district Thad- deus C. Sweet, republican, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Luther W. Mott, republican. Anning S. Prall and John J. O'Con- nor, democrats, were elected in the eleventh and sixteenth districts, re- spectively, to fill the seats left vacant by the deaths of Daniel J. Riordan and Bourke Cockran, democrats Gov. Smith said, concerning defeat of the judiclary candldates supported by Mr. Hearst: There can be no question from the figures about the attitude of the peo- ple of Manhattan and the Bronx as to the self-appointed guardian of the in- terests of the people, Willlam Ran- dolph Hearst. He registered on Octo- ber 13, and ran away to Florida and failed ‘to vote for the candidates he advocated In his papers. He under- took to play the role of the general and stands convicted as a deserter.” Republican leaders were elated over the gaine made in the assembly George K. Morris, state chairman, said: “This means-a repudiation of the efforts of Tammany to gain con- trol of the state, and particularly of the administration of Gov. Smith, who made a personal appeal for the elec- tion of a democratic majority. Ap- parently the people will have no mor of the governor's so-called ‘program. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secre- of republican candidates campaign, said_the increase in the assembly 'majofity was ‘“an earnest indication that next year New York | state will line up behind the repub- lican ticket for the presidency.” McADOO HAT HANGS OVER EDGE OF RING (Continued from First Page.) during the there of Senator,Underwood, McAdoo sentiment is declared to be running strong. One of the most ardent M- | Adoo boomers in the country Is Thomas B. Love, democratic national committeeman from the Lone Star state. and an assistant secretary of | the Treasury under McAdoo. Amused at Kian Tales. * The McAdoo camp is much amused over the attempts, which are laid at| the door of the Underwood people, to | depict “W. G.” as a Ku Klux Klans- man, or at least a Klan sympathizer. McAdooites will tell you that the | consistent. for to have been put | out by them is that McAdoo jis a! Roman Catholic! . Mr. McAdoo admits that he has friends and supporters who are both anti-Klan and pro-Klan. His Texas coadjutor. “Tom” Love, -is publicly on record as anti-Klan. The Klan allegation has not deprived McAdoo of the*unflagging support of Irishmen like “Pat” Callahan of St. Louis, or of outstanding Jews like Rabbi Stephen A. Wise and Bernard M. Baruch. McAdoo is mot a Cath- olic, despite the strain of Irish blood, | mingled with Scotch, in his ancestry and the “Mc” in his surname. It is not possible to “draw” McAdoo leaders on the subject of Woodrow Wilson's attitude toward his son-in- law’s presidential ambitions. Every indication suggests that Mr. Wilson is at least not opposed to them. He would only be, it seems probable, in the remote event that McAdoo, should turn his back on standard Wilson for- eign pollcies, and of that there has been no sign. Carter Glass, who is i» charge of the impending Armistice day celebration in Mr. Wilson's honor | is in close touch with Mr. McAdoo | Progressivism, as opposed to the con servatism_with which his opponents associate Underwood. 1S to be the out- standing note of the McAdoo cam- paign. The . nomination of Calvin Coolldge by the republicans would make McAdoo's friends believe he is the “logical” democrat to run against | the President in 1924. Jackson Day Plans. The democratic leaders have not yet definitely determined whether there will be the “debutantes’ party” oc- casionally held on Jackson day, dur- ing the first ten days of January. It/ is customary to hold such a festivity in presidential years, The 1912 din- ner was historic, with its launching of the Woodrow Wilson boom. In 1920 McAdoo, though an active candi- date, did not' turn up for the Juckson day 'feast in Washington, He does not at present plan to attend one in | 1924, if it is held. But by that time, in some form or other, the McAdoo | candidacy will be definitely launched, | unless present plans are altered. Mr. McAdoo I8 sixty years old—had his birthday only a day or two ago, on October 31 But Washington friends seldom have found him in better physical trim. He does not approximately look his age. The “demoeratic news" from Tuesday's state elections brought unalloyed joy to the McAdoo camp, especially the recovery of the governorship of Ken- tucky. ' Jouett SHouse, an outstand- ing McAdoo leader, is a Kentuckian, and says his state is ready to help send McAdoo to the White House.
