Soxlng Exhibition Also Given by
Toungsters at Colombia Park
With Their 'Worried Mothers
Present as Spectators.
Dozens of prond mothers and small
brothers and sisters were at Columbia
Park yesterday afternoon to see the
pageant given by the children of the
playground to mark the end of the
season at the park. The day was ideal
for such an occasion and there was
' Just enough breeze to make It cool
enough for the youngsters to go
through with their dances and acro
batic formations with ease.
A. number of small boys went
through different pyramid formations
with the exactness and self-confidence
cf experienced athletes. The forma
tions were topped by one small boy.
who seemed to be capable of keeping
his balance, so matter what happened.
The well-known nursery story, "'.Lit
tle Ked Riding Hood." was pantomimed
In a charming way by the smaller
girls of the playground. There were
the flowers, dressed In fluffy pink;
the trees, in vivid green costumes; the
fairies who wore white-spangled tarla
tan dresses and carried silver wands.
and the butterflies. In various colored
costumes. Then there was Sunshine, a
tiny youngster In bright yellow, and
the wind, who wore a white dress and
a filmy scarf of blue.
Daacera Are Graceful.
First the trees danced out, followed
hy the flowers. Then the Wind, Alva
liout, came and danced through the
trees and around the flowers. The elu
sive sunbeam, Josephine Leferel, darted
in and about the trees and flowers,
pausing every now and then to beam at
some particular flower friend.
Little Ked Biding Hood, Evelyn
Churchill, came strolling along on the
way to visit her grandmother, Mabel
Easter. A ferocious looking wolf, Ken
neth Duncan, pursued by two young
hunters, followed Red Riding Hood, but
reached grandmother's cottage first and
that was the last of grandmother.
The children were well trained and
danced with grace and ease which holds
promise for future celebrities.
Tumbling Exhibition Given.
A clever exhlbtion of tumbling was
given by Robert Langley, who is the
playground instructor, and his brother,
George Langley.
A boxing match by Jess Bailey, as
Jess Willard, and Harold Brown, as
John L. Sullivan, was thoroughly en
Joyed by the young fans and some
what worried mothers. Earl Robin
eon referred the match, seeming to get
as much enjoyment out of It as the
participants.
The pantomime, "Little Red Riding
Hood," was given under the direction
of Miss Jennie Huggins, playground
instructor. The pyramid formations
and boxing match were under the
supervision of Robert Langley. The
pageant was an artistlo success and
the exemplification of the mission of
the modern playground.

HOUSTON . Tex. . Aug. 28. The city (
of Houston today began what Acting
ayor D. M. Moody terms the develop
ment of the "real story" of the horror
of last Thursday night, when l6o
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth
Infantry rampaged through the west
end, shooting down 15 whites and
losing two of their own number.
The board of Inquiry appointed by
Moody began the examination of
witnesses. 1
Two or three witnesses were called
who testified as to the conduct of negro
soldiers on streetcars. W. F. Legg, a
conductor, said many colored soldiers
took seats not in the section reserved
for negroes, and objected to moving
when requested.
'They told me they would build a
smoke under me," he added, but ex
plained he did not know what this
meant.
W. S. Green, who worked at night
near the negroes camp, said as soon
as dark wonld fall negro women
flocked down the street to the camps.
He said he had seen as many as six
automobiles come near the camp at
daybreak and haul negro women away.
Legg and Green said they never had
seen any of the .negro soldiers drunk.
At this point a telegram was re
ceived from Congressman Daniel Gar
rett in Washington, saying Secretary
of War Baker had detailed General
J. L. Chamberlain to assist the board
of Inquiry.
Major Snow appeared and explained
that under instructions he was unable
to testify.

Version of Conversation.
CASE WILL BE UP MONDAY
Lawyer Accused of Tampering With
Witness in Federal Case Says
Special Agent Wrongly
Construed His Words.
Norman Richards, Portland attorney,
who has been charged by the Federal
authorities with tampering with a
wlti. .6S, appeared in the Federal Court
yesterday and through his attorney.
Coy Burnett, asked that his case be
continued that he may have more time
to Investigate the case. With the ap
proval of the prosecution represented
by Barnett H. Goldstein, Deputy United
States District Attorney, the hearing
was postponed until Monday.
"Mr. Richards was attorney for Mr.
Wright, whose conduct was being in
vestigated by the Federal officers,"
said Attorney Burnett in a formal
statement issued yesterday. "Mr.
Wright was staying at the Lincoln
Hotel, of which place Mrs. Hemphill
was proprietress.
Circumstances Are Related.
"Laet Saturday evening Mr. Richards
went to the Lincoln Hotel to see his
client and there in the office of the
hotel met Mrs. Hemphill, to whom. It
is alleged, he suggested that she not
testify in the Federal inquiry. Mr.
Richards did not know Mrs. Hemphill
beyond having been introduced to her
the day before, at which time he saw
her in the presence of a number of
other persons. He had heard from some
source that Mrs. Hemphill had made
derogatory remarks concerning one of
the persons concerned In the Investi
gation, and he suggested to her that

it was not a good thing to make re
marks about people which might be
misconstrued and told her that a small
story often repeated and construed be
comes a large one.
"Unbeknown to Mr. Richards the
woman had been a witness before the
grand jury. A special agent of the
Government happened to be in an ad
joining room and quite naturally con
cluded that Mr. Richards was at
tempting to tell Mrs. Hemphill that she
should not testify to anything wrong
about anyone.
Conversation la Reported.
"The special agent, as it was his
duty to do, under the construction he
placed upon the conversation, re
ported the matter to the District At
torney's office and that office very
naturally concluded that if Mr. Richards
was doing as the special agent thought,
the matter should be brought to the
attention of the court.
"Mr. Richards is entirely Innocent
of wrongdoing and his conduct was
unproductive of any wrongdoing."
