OPPOSE AIL LAW FOR MOTORISTS. Traffic Officials and the corporation counsel are expected to join in a concerted effort at the forthcoming session of Congress to have clarified that section of the traffic act which makes mandatory a jail sentence and automatic revocation of a drivers permit upon conviction for a third offense violation of the traffic law. code it was indicated today at the District Building. Traffic Director William H. Harland and Corporation Counsel William W. Bride are known to feel that the existing drastic provision is unfair because it fails to prescribe a definite time limit for three violations. The old traffic law which preceded the Traffic Department had a similar provision, but it stipulated that the three offenses had to be committed within a year before a jail sentence became mandatory. Under the existing code, it was pointed out a motorist who is convicted of three violations within a period of five 30 or any number of years would be compelled to serve a jail sentence. Police Court Judge McMahon also has told Mr. Harland that he believes the provision is unfair, and that some definite limitation of time should be prescribed in the traffic act. The traffic director said he had already given some thought to recommending clarification of the provision and that he would devote a section of his annual report to the Commissioners. In the process of preparation, to a discussion of the injustice of the provision. R. S. COLEMAN, 61, DIES IN MINNESOTA Was Head of Naturalization Service in Northwestern Territory.

The funeral of W Neville Hatcher, Virginia State policeman, who was fatally shot, last Wednesday night by Henry Shepard, colored, will be held tomorrow afternoon at the home of his parents, Mr and Mrs F G Hatcher, in The Plains. Hattcher, who was 28 years old, died last night in a Charlottesville hospital.

Following the earlier shooting, Shepard fled to Mount Clair, N.J., where he has been living ever since, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney A Bickers of Culpeper. Word was received last week that he was coming back for a visit and Hatch was sent to a negro meeting to try to arrest him. Shepard apparently submitted to arrest, but as Hatch pocketed his pistol, according to county authorities, the colored man drew one and fired five shots. Witnesses reported seeing the fugitive board a northbound freight train a short time later, but it is not believed he has left the state. While there is little fear of mob action in event of Shepard’s arrest, officials here believe that he will not be taken alive. Hatch is survived by his parents, two sisters, and four brothers.

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD By the Associated Press, International spotlights have turned on Paris, where shortly statesmen of 15 nations will gather to affix signatures to the Kellogg pact renouncing war as an instrument of national policy. The formality is likely to be followed by a deal of talk on the results that may be expected or the additional steps that various thinkers believe should be undertaken. Advocates of disarmament have appeared regularly in the discussions that have preceded signing, Russian, thought is that unless armies and navies late scrapped, the treaty will be a mere gesture among the signatories whose true motive will be revealed as hostility toward communism. Germany contends that the pact will be ineffective unless other powers reduce their forces to something near the limit imposed on, that country by the treaty of Versailles League of Nations officials have hailed the Paris proceeding as a definite step toward carrying out the fundamental purpose of the League to settle international disputes by peaceful methods. Many advocates of the treaty have stated that it will lack force unless it is backed by an educated public opinion. David Lloyd George said that war in the future would be nothing less than an annihilation, and added: "Pacts are not the slightest use unless you tackle disarmament. It is useless to have treaties as long as nations are perfecting the machinery of devastation. Of all the armaments that should be cut down, armaments in the air is the most urgent."

ISPLIT THREATENED ; IN COLORED CHURCH Baptist Faction Calls Sepa rate Convention Following Row Over Merger. Dissension is threatening the ranks of local colored Baptists in three-score churches, heralding possible action in the courts, and provoking a charge from one quarter that politics is responsible for this trouble. The immediate effect has been the telling of separate annual conventions of two groups of churches for this week, with one group claiming jurisdiction over the other and the latter holding to its autonomy. Leading one group is Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the newly organized Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia. The spokesman for the other is Rev. S. O. Lamkins, executive secretary of the organization, incorporated as the Mount Bethel Baptist State Convention of Washington, D.C., Twenty colored Baptist churches are members, he said. Dr. Jernagin has tried to get us to merge with his convention, but we have refused to do so. Still, he insists on claiming our members and has endeavored to get them to attend his convention Wednesday at the Providence Baptist Church, the Mount Bethel leader said. Our convention is not going to merge any other body. We are holding our convention tonight at 8 o'clock in the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, Fourth and L streets, of which I am pastor. If necessary, we will resort to legal action to protect ourselves from interference. Rev. Mr. Lamkins charged that Dr. Jernagin's convention is illegal. In that it was formed by the merger of an incorporated and an unincorporated body. The incorporated body he said, was the General Convention of the District of Columbia, of which Dr. Jernagin was president, and the unincorporated group was the Union Convention, headed by Rev. A. S. Sayles. “Dr. Jernagin wanted all three local conventions to merge into one body.” But we refused to join. He called a mass meeting for that purpose and sent notices to our members to attend. He had no right to do so. I contend that the general and union conventions had no legal authority to merge. "We are going to keep our churches out of politics," Rev. Jameson declared. "Dr. Jameson is trying to line up the colored vote in Washington. I can’t understand why he is so anxious to get our convention to join. Anyway, we don’t intend to be lined up." Dr. Jameson attended the Republican convention in Kansas City as an alternate delegate from the District of Columbia.

HIDE TO BLACKMER CHARGESKIDNAPING Ex-Secretary Says She Was Grilled Illegally to Obtain Basis for Action. By the Associated Press. DENVER, August 20.—The defense of Henry M. Blackmer on a Federal indictment charging perjury, in case he is returned to the United States, may be based on the allegation that evidence against him was obtained illegally, the attorney here has revealed. The multi-millionaire former head of the Midwest Refining Co., and missing key witness in the Teapot Dome. Investigation, now resides in France. The Government is attempting to gain French sanction to his extradition to Colorado to answer perjury charges. Quizzed on Deals. Tyson S Dines, Blackmer's attorney, revealed yesterday that he has an affidavit signed by Miss Martha Thompson, Blackmer's former secretary, in which she charges she was abducted last June by United States Secret Service operatives and taken to the United States district attorney's office here, where she was grilled regarding her employer's dealings. Dines said he expected to use this as the trump card in defense of Blackmer if the United States obtained his custody. He indicated he would seek to have the indictments quashed. Miss Thompson is said to be in California now. Scores Federal Takers. Following an account of the alleged kidnapping of Miss Thompson in the Denver Post yesterday, that paper prunted an interview with Dines scoring Federal agents for their tactics in obtaining evidence. Miss Thompson's name appeared as a witness and notary public on income returns by Blackmer, allegedly false which form the basis of the perjury indictment returned two months ago. The kidnapping was resorted to by the Post said, in order that officials of the Midwest Co would not be forewarned of the move by the Government to serve writs of attachment against Blackmer in an effort to tie up $8,500,000 of his wealth pending investigation. These writs were served by White. CHARGE DENIED HERE. Officials Refuse to Discuss Abduction Story in Denver. Department of Justice and secret service officials declined today to discuss at length charges made by Tyson S. Dines, counsel for H. M. Blackmer in Denver, that Government agents had abducted Blackmer’s secretary and secured from her evidence upon which Blackmer’s Indictment for perjury was based. Herman J. Galloway, acting Attorney General, said he had not heard of the accusations. A H. Delbert of counsel for the Internal Revenue Bureau, had charge of the Blackmer prosecution in Denver. He is now out of the city; in the bureau refused to count Chief Moran of the secret service. "Absolutely no kidnapping has been resorted to by the secret service in this or any other case."
