Seek Traces of Missing Vessels in Soviet Ports In an effort to solve the mystery of missing ships' that have disappeared off Cape Hatteras, governmental agencies were set to work yesterday upon the suggestion made by the New York police force that captured red propaganda contained the suggestion that certain vessels should be captured and taken to Russian ports. The Department of Justice claims that the propaganda in its possession contained no reference to this proposition, but it is believed that the New York police force may have had red literature which did not come into the possession of the Department of Justice. The State Department is utilizing its confidential agencies to discover whether or not any vessels of an unknown character have been brought into Russian ports and because of the disappearance of the Spanish Barque Yute and the British tramp Albyan, it is believed that foreign governments would support this investigation Lists of the crews of the missing ships, now in the possession of various shipping commissions at New York, Norfolk and other ports, will be posted in places where seafaring men congregate.

In this way it is hoped that some information may be obtained concerning any members of the crews who may have escaped the fate that appears to have come to all the men on the ill-fated boats. Students of pjrate history in the United States called attention to the fact that Nag's Neck, off the Carolina capes, near the point where the missing vessels disappeared, had an unsavory reputation uring dthe days of the sea buccaneers. This section of the country was the Northern headquarters of Teach and other rovers of the Spanish main. It was the custom to tie a hore in the shallow waters with a lantern about his neck. The movements of the horse as he struggled to remain above water gave the lantern a bobbing motion as though it was attached to a ship, and would lure vessels to the rocks where, once aground, they became the easy victims of the pirates.

The name of Nag's Neck, given to this point of danger because of the strange piratical custom, has clung to it ever since. MARYLAND AND THE VIRGINIAS HEAR PAR CLEARANCE CASE Argument Is Made, on Motion to Transfer It to Federal Court. Charlotte, N. June on the motion of the Federal reserve bank of Richmond for removal of the so-called par clearance injunction case from the State courts to the Federal court was heard by Judge E. Y.

Webb in the United States district court here today. It is expected by court officials that the argument will be concluded tomorrow. The 250 non-par banks of North Carolina, plaintiffs in the original injunction proceeding, introduced no witnesses, but placed in the records affidavits signed by officers of 135 of these banks, designed to show that the money involved is not over $3,000, and therefore not sufficient to furnish grounds for transfer of the case to the Federal court. Two witnesses were introduced by the defendant Richmond bank this morning to show the amount involved is not more than $3,000. Alexandria News rOBT BUREAU.

7th and D. CAMPBELL CO. Business Furniture 724 TOnrteenik SLJW. Increased Only 1.9 Per Cent in South, but Heavily in North. Indians Decrease.

(By the Anaodated Frees.) The racial composition of the population of the United States in 1920, as announced last night by the census bureau, srows the country to contain $94,822,421 white persons, 10,463,013 negroes, 242,959 Indians, 111,025 Japanese, 61,686 Chinese and 9,485 others. The Japanese race exceeded by far the rate of growth in the last ten years of all other classes. Unofficial estimates of the increase In the number of aJpanese United States, particularly on the Pacific coast, were out in the official tabulation which revealed a rate of expansion of. 53.9 per cent during the decade of 1910-20. Most in palifornia.

California absorbed 30,596 of the total growth of 38,868 Japanese in this period. On January 1, 1920, there were 71,952 Japanese in California. The remainder of the increase was distributed largely in the States of Washington, where 17,388 now make their home; Oregon, 4,151 and Utah, Colorado and New York, with between 2,000 and 3,000 each. The white population showed only a 16 per cent expansion for the decade and the negro 0.5 per cent. Both the Indian and Chinese groups dwindled 8.6 per cent and 13.8 per cent, respec- tively.

The growth in the white pop- I ulation was considerably less than the rate for the previous decade which i was 32.3 per cent. This decline, the statement said, was due principally to the marked reduction in immigration during the world war. An estimate based on the excess of birtha over deaths and on the excess of immigration over emigration showed a diffrence by only a small fraction of 1 per cent from the total whites enumerated. Small Negro Increase. The rate of Increase in tlie negro population, which was not perceptibly affected by Immigration ur emigration, was the lowest on record, according to the statement.

Evidence of the migration of the negro to the North and West was found in the figures showing nearly three-fourths of tho increase in the negro population, or 472,418 of the 635,250 gain, in these sections. A growth of only 162,832, or about one- fourth, was reported for the South, deaplte the fact that 85 per cent of the total negro race is still below the Mason-Dlxon line. The percentage increase of negroes in the West was 65.1; in the North 43.3 per cent, and in the South, 1.9 per cent. Move Into Michigan. Michigan, with 60,082 negroes, lead all States In percentage of increase with 251 per cent.

Illinois and Ohio, with increases of 67.1 per cent, showed further evidence of the northward movement of negroes. Pennsylvania's negro population growth for the period was 46.7 per cent, it's 'black race now exceeding- in number those of Maryland and Kentucky. Decrease in the Indian race in the 10-year period was protoafoly due in part, it was said, to the enumeration as Indians in 1910 and as whites in 1920 of persons having only slight traces, of Indian blood. Of the total decrease in the Indian race, 22,724, toy far the greater part, 18,876, was In Oklahoma alone. The only pronounced increase was reported for North Carolina, from 7,851 to 11,824.

Radio Signal System To End Sea Fog Terror Fog-, a terror of all sea-faring men, soon will succumb to science. Ship disasters will be avertel by newly perfected radip signaling devices. Supt Putnam, of the lighthouse service, announced last night that a est will be made in New York harbor on Monday of a new system of radio direction eignale. The system affords practical means by which navigators can take reasonably accurate inga on beacons which are not visible. Mr.

Putnam said the new radio system enables a mariner to find the location of his vessel In thickest weather when lig-hte and landmarks are not seen through haze. "More lives and more ships are lost through fog than any other said Supt Putnam. "This will.rB- duce such mishaps, or make them preventable. 0 GLASS REFUSES DECOEATIOIT Says Constitution Forbids Acceptance of Italian Honor.
