§6.077,300 PLANNED - FOR POLICE-FIRE Increase of $648,100 for Two Departments in 1932 Pro- vided in Budget. Note—This is the ffth of a series of stories analyzing the Distrct's budget for the 1932 fiscal vear. which is now under consideration by the House Subcommit- on Approprations. BY JAMES E. CHINN. Police and fire protection in the com- ing fiscal year will cost the District $6,077,300 on the basis of funds recom- mended in the 1932 appropriation bill now under consideration by the House Subcommittee on Appropriations. This represents an increase of $648,100 over the appropriation for the current fiscal ear. While the police department does not contemplate any capital improvements in 1932, it is allocated $3,493220, or $909,140 more than recommended for the fire department which plans to use nearly $200,000 of its funds for the con- struction of a new fire house, the ac- quisition of a site for a proposed truck company and the purchase of new ap- paratus. Nearly'all of the increase for the police department, however, will go into salary advances. The fire depart- ment also will use a large portion of its appropriation to provide salary rases. Plans for Fire House. The new fire house, costing $150,000, | will be erected in the vicinity of Thir- teenth and K streets, to house Engine Company No. 16 and Truck Company No. 3, both of which will have to aban- don their present quarters in the Penn- sylvania avenue-Mall triangle as the ‘Government building program prog- resses. The new quarters not only will accommodate the two fire units, but will house also the fire and police clinic now located in George Washing- ton University Hospital. These two fire companies operate for the protection of the high-value district. No. 16 is located on D street near ‘Twelfth street, and the truck com- ny is housed in a building at Four- 'nth street and Ohio avenue. The site desired for the proposed new fire house, for which $15,000 is pro- vided in the bill, is in the vicinity of ‘Twelfth street and Rhode Island ave- nue northeast. Fire Chief Qeorge S. Watson plans to locate a new truck company in that section which he de- clares will serve two —provide proper truck service for Brookland, Woodridge, Dahlgren Terrace, Michigan Park and Langdon, and relieve No. 4 Truck Company which now responds to boxes in the Northeast section as far as the District line, more than 3!; miles from its quarters. New Fire Equipment. The new truck company, according to the fire chief, will afford protection to such institutions as Catholic Uni- wversity, the Monastery, the National ‘Training School for Boys, St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, the Baptist Home for Children, the Lutheran Home, and the rapidly developing commercial property along Rhode lsland avenue. The com- pany also will relieve No. 13 Truck Com- pany of response to many boxes in the vicinity of Bladensburg road and the District line. The Fire Department’s appropriation request for new equipment will provide for two aerial hook and ladders, two hose ‘wagons and one Rut‘;pm( engine. The T 1 1 | ! MBASSADOR C. C. WU of China, educator and diplomat, will ad. dress the va?en service of Ameri- can University at 5:30 this evening.

The debating season of American University opened last night, with the first intercollegiate contest held at | Hearst Hall on the campus. American University debaters, consisting of Rob- ert Marcus, James Caiola and James E. Swan, met a team from Haverford Col- lege of Haverford, Pa. consisting of Frederick G. Ridge, John Zapp and John Gresimer. American University took the affirmative and the visitors the negative of the question “Resolved, That a Federal dispensary system of liquor control be adopted by the United | States.” The American University debating which is being coached by Rob- . Hislop, is planning several other debates this season with some of the same opponents met in previous years. The American University Glee Club sang its first concert of the season off the campus last night at Potomac Heights Methodist Episcopal Church. | The club, which is headed by Ellsworth Tompkins, president, and is_under the directorship of J. Harland Randall, is planning for the Winter and Spring season. The “A” Club, organization of wom- an athletes, took an extended annual hike through Rock Creek Park yester- day afternoon. G. W. U.

SHINGTO ICOLORED CAPACTY | T0 RULE GETS TEST Liberian Conditions Studied| in Light of Experimental Republic. BY CONSTANTINE I\IOWN. Libé*a, “the land of liberty,” had to be sharply reminded by the American Government that the motto inscribed under its coat of arms, “The love of liberty has brought us here,” must be applied to all the citizens of that coun- try and not only to the few privileged who form the elite of the small Re- public. There are 1,500,000 inhabitants in that West African Republic. Besides the two or three hundred white people who are only temporary residents there are 20,000 Libero-Americans, that is to say, colored people and their descend- ants, who have been sent from Amer- ica some 110 years ago. Although the number of such is small compared with the number of natives it is only they, the descendants of the colonists who came to Liberia in 1821 on the sailing ship Elizabeth—the col- ored Mayflower—who have the right to vote and rule the country. This seems quite natural since these people having had the benefit of Western civi- lization, were the only ones able to or- ganize a seemingly efficient government along the lines generally accepted by Western nations. Severe Treatment Charged. Yet these descendants are treating the unfortunate native Negroes whom they are ruling, in a way which would have appalled even Simon Legree. The repopt of the Interpational Commission of Inquiry into the existence of slavery and forced labor in the Republic of Liberia has disclosed facts which are almost unbelievable. District commissioners appointed by the President encourage the “pawn system.” By this system officials in- flict heavy fines on ignorant natives who in order to pay the penalty are compelled to pawn for a period varying from 3 to 50 or 60 years their children or relatives. They can generally bor- row $30 for a female and $15 for a male. In most cases the natives con- not redeem the pawn, who can never redeem themselves, but must be bought out by a third person. ‘Thousands of young natives are “ex- ported” every year to:plantations sit- uated in Spanish and Prench protecto- rates. These laborers are caught like wild animals by the Liberian frontier force. High Liberian officials have been proved to have indulged in this traffic on a very large scale. f Stimson Takes Action. The somewhat truculent attitude of the President of the Liberian Republic, Charles Dunbar Burgess King, and of the Vice President, A. N. Yancy, de- termined the Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson, to send the Liberian gov- ernment a note resembling an ultima- tum. The result of that note was that both the President and the Vice Presi- dent of the Liberian Republic tendered their resignations to the Liberian legis- lative assembly. The minister of foreign affairs, E. J. Barclay, has be- come automatically ~ President of the republic, and it may be that he will give a more serious consideration to the report of the commission of investiga- tion and follow the recommendationsq contained therein. ‘The reasons why the American Gov- ernment has taken upon itself to try to restore order in are the fol- lowing: (1) The Republic of Liberia, the only Negro republic in Africa, was founded in 1821 as an American colony. It represents America's only attempt at oversea colonization. Its inception ! grew out of an endeavor on the part of early statesmen and philantropists to solve the vexing problem of slavery. The idea of colonizing some part of Africa with American slaves seems to have been in the minds of most Amer- ican statesmen from Jefferson to Lincoln. As early as 1816 the American Colonizing Society received a charter from Congress for the purpose of assist- ing free men of color to return to the African continent. Judge Bushrod Washington, Geot Washington's nephew, was its first president and Gen. Lafayette was an honorary member of that society. The sailing ship Elizabeth in 1820 and the Naucilus, in 1821, landed the first picked colonists on the coast of the country which is now the free Republic of Liberia. It is due to the initiative and the money lavishly spent by the American people that the Negro republic came into existence, and again it is only due to American inter- vention that the republic has been able to preserve its independence. In 1909 Liberia ran the risk of being swallowed by its powerful neighbors. President Taft sent immediately a commission to that country and the interest shown by the American President resulted fn Liberia maintaining its independence, U. 8. Acts As Adviser, (2) Since the Treaty of Versailles the United States has been acting as the adviser in Liberian affairs, especially with reference to financial questions. (3) Liberia may become an import- ant source of supply of rubber to this country, for it is a great rubber pro- ducing ‘country. Harvey S. Firestone has acquired a 99-year lease of a mil- lion acres of land there. (4) The international loan of 1912 has been refunded and replaced by a new loan from the Finance Corporation of America, with the National City| Bank of New York acting as fiscal agent. All these reasons, sentimental and cconomic, compel the United States Government to ask the Liberians to put thelr house in order as soon as possi- e. ' This country hopes that the little republic will demonstrate the possibility of colored people governing themselves along the lines of western countries. | To those who hawe faith in the colored man’s capacity for self-government this experience is fraught with great interest.

Drifted In on the Tides Boy Sailor’s Suicide Given New Explanation by Ship’s Cook—Icebergs More Thrilling Than W hales—Shaving in the Rain. BY ANGUS MACGREGOR. NEW YORK, January 10 (NAN.A) — The strange death by suicide of a young German seaman aboard the freighter Sehali a short time ago made hardly a ripple on this side of the sea. The story was somewhat garbled when it Teached here. The suicide was said to have taken piace in a Hamburg cafe, but this, according to Franz Woebber, is not so. Franz was ship's cook and | ought to know. This is his version of the tragic_affair. A word first about Franz, He is very thin, weighs hardly more than 100 | pounds, and his hair is as white and | soft_as foam on a breaker. With his small, eager, pale {ace peering out from amidst the clouds of pipe smoke which invariably enshroud him, he would have been called, in a gentler epoch, the spirit of age. Certainly he deserves no less. Felt Sorry for Boy, “The boy,” said Woebber, “shipped from Hamburg. He was short, fat and red faced, not very spry. I felt sorry for him immediately. Why? Because he looked dead. The picture of health, you understand, but dead just the same. Dead inside. The inner fire which sup- ports us all had gone cold in him.” ‘Woebber sucked at his pipe in silence for a long time. Then suddenly he began to cry. It was very embarrassing “You must excuse me,” he said, " feel very sad when a young man kills himself. There is so much to live for.” Schultz's life (Schultz was what the boy called himself) was not very pleas- ant. He did not get on well with the | men, and he was moody and unused to | the sea. He never mentioned what his | trouble was, but Woebber thinks it was | a love affair. “All young men,” said | , “are troubled with love af- The Sehali was making for Ceylon, | and it was a foregone conclusion that there Schultz would jump ship. Every- body knew it, even the captain, but Schultz never got to Ceylon. A game of cards interfered. Makes Death Wager. A pack was broken out for some poker, when Schultz appeared and asked if he could take a hand. One of the men had just read Stevenson, and hé thought the boy was a good subject for a little joke. “We are not,” he said, “playing a game that you would like, In this game the first to draw | the queen of hearts dies by his own | hand. Now do you want to play?” Schultz looked a little startled. He said nothing for a full minute and then | nodded his head slowly. It was a great joke, said Woebber. At Jeast everybody felt it was a great joke. | The cards were dealt with 1mpressive“ slowness, and the first card Schultz got was the queen of hearts. He jumped to his feet as if stung. “I knew it,” he shouted. “I've never been lucky.” That night he put a pistol in his | mouth and blew off the roof of his head “It was a terrible shock to us| all,” said Woebber, “because no one, of | course, had taken the game seriously. It is terrible when such a y one dies. Life is hard often, especially for youth, but there is always—always, you understand—sometHing to live for.” Tcebergs Give Thrill. It was a remarkable spectacle. He was tall and middle-aged. He wore no overcoat and was soaked through. He had propped a small piece of mirror against the trough and over this he was bent while he worked in a specious lather with fingers dripping from rain. It was difficult to make the lather stay on, so heavy was the downpour, but he shaved, slowly, methodically and with|aerial acrobats for third-day honors | a singular dignity that went ill with his poor, rain-soaked garments. Sight-Seeing in Japan. Ed Graham has a story to tell which his friends greet with derision, but they really oughtn't to doubt him because in the East anything is usual. When Ed got to Osaka in Japan he saw a small crowd of about 20, three of whom were priests, gathered before some antique junks. y were going through a lengthy and mournful Bu dhist ceremony, distinguished chiefly by loud wailing and beatings of the breast. ‘An interpreter explained the ceremony to him. They were praying, the inter- preter said, for the souls of the junks which were about to be scuttled be- cause they had outlived their usefulness. This, explained the interpreter, is n extraordinary because Japanese Bud- dhists pray for everything, animate and inanimate. The manufacturers of ban- jos, for instance, regularly hold services for the spirits of the cats that provide the strings. And the farmers in the rice fields pray equally strenuously for the spirits of the rice crop they are about to harvest. At least so Ed said the in- terpreter told him.

TRIO ESCAPE AS ICE ‘The month of January is not, to most of us here, exactly Maytime, but | whatever cold there is Jack Sable greets | with superior disdain, as who wouldn't | who has just returned from two and one-half years in the Antarctig? Sable was one of the crew of the English ship William Scoresly, which, in 1928, departed for the bottom of the world to study whales. Sable thinks, after a lengthy and first-hand experi- ence, that whales are just hunks of cold lard lumped together in a black sack. ‘They don't excite him, but he got more than enough thrills from the icebergs. “At one time,” sald Sable, “we were surrounded by almost 2,000 bergs, large and small. In the dead, thick stillness of an Antarctic night, they rode all coout us, frou-frouing like ladies in taf- feta skirts. And most of them were like ladies, pure, noble, steadfast and beautiful. When the sun shot down on | them, they caught the rays and covered | them with 1,000 splendid colors. “Our ship had the honor of locating the largest iceberg the world has ever known,” continued Sable. “It was, by actual measurement, 150 miles long and 11 miles wide. We had one bad scare, though. A berg broke off from the| mainland not many miles from us. The report was deafening. It was like all the guns in the World War spliced into one single, ear-rending detonation and the ocean quivered like a bowl of Jelly that has been dropped from a great height. We were shaken consid- erably.” Shaving in the Rain. Jeanette Park, across the street from the Seamen’s Church Institute, offers a | strange sight in Summer. A trough for watering horses has been placed there by the S. P. C. A, but the horses have to take their chances. All beach com- bers and sailors down on their luck flock there to wash their clothes and shave. The men hang their garments to dry on the iron palings that sur- round the tiny park and sometimes the line before the trough is a block long. But in the Winter the line is not so alive. Yet one day this week, when a stinging, greasy rain was beating down and a wind with teeth in it was biting across the park, I saw a sailor standing there shaving. __ EDUCATIONAL. | Beginners’ and Advanced Courses Every Accounting Instructor a C.

The boat, known as the’ Gladys, was off the Bellevue Naval Radio Lahoratory, Bellevue, D. C,, early Friday, when she struck the ice. As water poured into the craft fts owner, Capt. Thomas G. Parks, began pumping it out. The water poured in faster than he could pump, however, and he abandoned his efforts when it rose to his shoulders. He and his crew—Andrew Crockett and Allen Gibbons, both of Tangier Island, in the Chesapeake Bay, about 10 miles from Crisfleld—deserted the vessel and rowed to the Bellevue Mag- azine in a small boat. From there they were taken t§ the harbor precinct police station. Sergt. R. M. Cox and Pvt. Theo Crow of the station towed the Gladys ashore with the police tug Charles Evans, assisted by the fireboat. ‘The Gladys, which sailed from Tan- gier Island Thursday, had & cargo of 200 bushels of oysters, valued 'CATIONAL. —_————————— Abbott Art Schoo EXHIBITION 2:.,% % % Day and Evening Classes Commercial Art—Design Interior Decoration Fashion Crafts Children’s Classes New Classes Now Formi 1624 H St. N.W.
