By S.

T. HOLLAND Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Sept. 2. The much expresseo phrase, "When a dog bites a man, that's not news but when a man bites a dog, that's news" could very easily be applied to this city's police department and their reaction to the crime attack problem hers Involving Ne grocs one way or the other. (Mostly the other, they say.) A striking example of this conviction occurred Saturday when the Hearst publication here came forth with bold, glaring headlines telling of Chief of Detectives Henry W.

Plel assigning 100 policemen to hunt for a Negro who criminally attacked a 19 year old white girl within 100 feet of her home.

Cone issued many bold statements to the press declaring what he was going to do about it, but like all lynching Investigations left to state and local authorities, nothing was done. Florida1 Senator Claude Pepper was one of the leading opponents of the Federal anti lynehing bill in the last session of Congress maintaining that the Federal government "had no business" invading the states to punish lynchers because the slates "would take care of the crime In their own way."

2 (By Tommy Berry for ANP) For the first time in the history of New York's underground railway system, 11 Negroes have passed apprenticeship as conductors on the new Eighth Avenue Lines and may serve as engineers on regular passen ger service. According to William R. Tolll ver, 75 St Nicholas place, at least Ave years of railroad service Is required before becoming eligible to nerve as conductors. The conductors must then serve two years more before they can take the civil service examination to become engineers. In a recent examination.

Hi conductors were eligible. Out of this number, 82 passed for promotion. Eleven were colored, and 71 white. Tho duties to which these motor men are assigned before they take up regular passenger service Is the preparation of trains for regular runs, taking them in and out of service, and working in various stations and yards. As the system extends throughout the Bronx, Brooklyn.

Manhattan, and Queens, including the new Flushing World's Fair lines, these men will go on service as they move up on the list. William Tolllvcr was appointed assistant dispatcher, but declined the appointment because he was on the motorman's list. He was the only Negro to pass the assistant dispatchers examination. Tolllvcr, who Is enthusiastic about his work, says the system is controlled by one of the most perfect safety devices known to engineering. A smash up is highly improbable.

The trains are controlled exclusively by automatic tlmo signals, for Instance, If a motorman should die at the controls, the, train stops automatically the Instant his hand leaves the throttle. This system is known as the "Dead Man's Valve," and throws the train into auUst.atic control. Wonderful System The motorman is guided by a red light that flashes in his cabin. If any coach door Is opened a 16th of an inch, the train cannot start. Through the maze of Intricate red and green signals, these trains pass at the rate of four minutes apart throughout the 24 hour service.

The express trains, with only limited stops, reach a speed that might make passengers jittery If they thought of going a hundred ana twenty blocks In 15 minutes. Tolliver said that when a motor man, for the first time, touches the controls of a train in his small booth. It a thrill that comes once in a lifetime. To sec trains racing side by side under the ground is what most aviators must feel when they're racing through the clouds. Then, he said further, these Jobs were first brought to the attention of the Negro throush "The Chief." a civil service paper, and throush the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, of which A.

This is one more proof, if any were needed, that only Federal anti lynchlng law has any chinco of checking mob violence in this country." The N. A. A. C. P.

FLORIDA PAPER CLAIMS LYNCHING PROBE ENDED Tampa Tribune Says Investigation Cot Nowhere, 'Must As Everyone Familiar With Florida Justice Expected." I ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2 A paragraph editorial in the St. Petersburg Times here comments as follows on the "investigation" of the double lynching which occurred at Tallahassee under the shadow of the state capitol on July 20: ROT EES, SOti DIE 1H1VELL MORRIS, Sept.

After gas masks loaineu by the Birmingham Fire Department had reached the scene, Roosevelt Powell, who month before had a fight with the younger Robinson and had to pay a fine as a result of the difficulty, went into the well and brought out both bodies. It wan believed that both men died either from dreaded "black damp" or fumes from dynamite that was being used to deepen the well. On the day preceding, near Sulphur Springs, i.nder identical ckcumstances, Mel Yarborough and his son, Emmett Yarbrough, died similarly of suffocation, only in that instance It was the father who sacrificed his life in an attempt to rescue his son. lIItKAK DOWN Interracial misunderstanding.
