Members of the American Civil Lib- | erties Union Conference on Civil Lib- erties Under the New Deal walked out of the Arlington Hotel last night, re- fusing to hold further sessions there | because the hostelry declined to reg- | ister colored persons as guests. A motion to move out of the hotel immediately was offered after Roger N. Baldwin, direcbor of the union, told | the audience which packed the ball room that the management had re- fused to allow colored delegates to | occupy rooms. Several speakers were | yet to be heard on the program, how- | |ever, and it was decided to allow | them to speak. | All of today's sessions will be held in the law building of Howard Uni- versity, offered by Charles H. Houston, dean of the school. Colored Persons Present. ‘There were only a handful of colored persons in the audience when the | motion was offered. Several policemen made their ap- pearance in the conference room shortly after Baldwin announced the refusal of the management to register | the colored guests.

A report is being drawn by Prettyman. The parole of Sutton was granted October 12, 1932, prior to changes in the board membership. Later Dr Loren B. T. Johnson and Isaac Gans resigned and Willlam W. Bride and La Roe were named. Capt. Edward J. Kelly, commander of No. 3 police precinct, was listed by the board as among those who urged parole. Questioned last night, Capt. Kelly said only a part! of his letter had been quoted by the board; that he had concluded his rec- ommendation by saying “I make this statement, of course, assuming that | his conduct in the reformatory would warrant favorable action.” Capt. Kelly had led police who ar- rested Sutton and produced evidencs used in the trial. He made the poin that Sutton had received a much longer sentence than others convicted with him. Record Reported Bad. ‘The board was informed that Sut- while at the Leavenworth Peni- tentiary had an exceedingly bad rec ord, which caused the loss of 208 d of “good time.” The board made a particular point that the transfer of Sutton from Leavenworth to the reformatory here was made against the advice of the United States director of prisons. | | | After citing Sutton’s long police record, the board said Lorton offi- clals made a determined effort to | bring him there, in spite of trouble he had caused at Leavenworth “Immediately upon his arrival at Lorton,” the board said, “Sutton was given a responsible and attractive clerical position, and later was pro- moted to the position of secretary i the office of A.
