THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, Juny 20, 1930—PART ONE. SEVEN WILL FAC SLAYING CHARCE Trial to Open Tuesday in Kill- ing of Student During Racial Quarrel. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., July 19.—Police, the solicitor-general, a private committee and the commission on inter-racial co- operation joined today to prosecute seven white men charged with slaying & colored college student and to curb reputed activities against colored cit- izens growing out of the case. ‘The student, Dennis Hubert, was killed June 15 on the playground of a colored school after a group of white men accused him of having “insulted & white woman.” The solicitor gen- eral's office says it had evidence that Hubert was ignorant of the accusation. Six men, J. C. Gravin, Tom Berryman, T. F. Martin, Aubrey Sikes, Murray W. Harmon and R. H. Evans, are in_jail charged with the slaying. “Fat” Wil- son is at liberty under the same charge. The trial will open Tuesday before Judge Earl Camp. Since the arrest of the white men the house of the student's father, Rev. G. J. Hubert, has been assaulted, also the sisters’ chapel at Speilman College has been stoned and a meeting in a colored church to raise funds for the prosecution was disturbed. Police said they were unable to con- mect these acts directly wih the case, but that special policemen had been as- signed to protect local colored colleges. The private committee is raising funds to restore Hubert's home and is also asking all Atlantans to “unite with us in a city-wide execration of the erime.” 3 HELD IN ATTACK ON YOUNG GIRL Alexandria Men Are Jailed for Hearing Tomorrow Morning.

Ritchie has definitely decided to call a special session of the Legislature, it was learned today. ‘The session will be called, it is un- derstood, for July 29. It is hoped to conclude the proceedings in one day. ‘The purpose will be to revise the law specifying the registration dates this Fall. These dates, September 23 and 24 and October 7 and 8, con- flict with Jewish holidays, and it has been feared that a large percentage of the Jewish population would be disfranchised unless the dates were changed. The only way such a change can be made, according to Assistant At- torney General Willis R. Jones, is by an act of the Legislature, which means a special session is necessary. The Governor has been pondering the question of an extra session for some time, and has talked with prominent members of the Jewich faith as well as political leaders. His final decision was taken at a conference with Frank A. Furst yes- terday. MARYLAND U. GETS DEPARTMENT HEAD Dr. W. B. Brown, Professor in Economics and Sociology, Comes From Coast.
