JARVIS CALLED JUDAS FOR lADOR HALL STAND
MISS DUDLEY, LOCAL EDUCATOR, SAYS
ALDERMAN ‘TRAITOR’ TO WHITE LABOR
BY REFUSAL TO SEE ‘COMMUNISM’
CLAIMS HE AND MAYOR GAMBLE TURN DEAF EARS ON
COMPLAINTS TO RID AREA OF “RED"
ORATORS AND INDECENCY.
“Alderman W. B. Jarvis is a Judas
to the white labor element of Savan
nah,” declared Miss Eleanor Worrill
Dudley, local educator, in taking em
phatic exception today to an inter
view of Mr. Jarvis in the Morning
News in which he defended the ac
tivities of the International Long
shoremen’s Association negro labor
hall on East Bay street, and mini
mized charges of disorder at the hall.
An interview of Mr, Jarvis, presi
dent of the Savannah Trades and
Labor Assembly, in today’s Morning
News said “perfect decorum” was al
ways maintained at meetings at the
labor hall. He professed no knowl
edge of any disorderly gatherings at
any time outside the meeting place.
“Mr. Jarvis is a Judas to white la
bor—he is selling them out for what
is in it for him” Miss Dudley said.
She scoffed at the statements attrib
uted to the labor leader that he was
ignorant of any disorderly gatherings
about the negro labor hall and re
peated her charges of regular speech
es of a Communistic nature being
made to the longshoremen by organ
izers.
“Mr. Jarvis was insulting to me
when I complained to him over the
telephone about conditions at the la
bor hall,” said Miss Dudley. She
continued: “I defy him to face me
LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING PARENTS
LOOMS FOR MARVIN PRITCHARD
The possibility loomed today that
the three-year search being conducted
by Marvin H. Pritcher, of Augusta,
for his parents might be brought to
a successful conclusion through the
combined efforts of The Savannah
Daily Times and Mrs. Walter Cramer,
president of the Julia McLeod chap
ter of King’s Daughters.
In an interview with Mrs. Mamie
Morgan of 533 Indian street, who be
lieves she knows the whereabouts of
the young man’s parents, a Times re
porter learned this morning that a
woman who left an infant at the
King’s Daughters Home for adoption
. at the same time and under identical
circumstances as Pritcher’s mother is
known to Mrs. Morgan. Although she
cannot be positive in her identifica
tion, Mrs. Morgan says that the wom
an is probably the youth’s mother, as
the resrmbles him noticeably, and the
Circumstances are of such marked
similarity. Mrs. Morgan says that
the mother came back to the home
several years after leaving the Infant
for adoption, but finding him satis
factorily taken care of by Mr. and
Mrs. F. B. Pritcher, of Beaufort, S.
C., she decided to leave matters as
they were. The woman now resides
In Alabama, Mrs. Morgan believes,
having married a man named Brown.

OFFICER THROWS SCARE
INTO BICYCLE RIDERS
Police Officer S. L. Thornton
brought a bicycle to police headquar
ters at 6:45 o'clock this morning
which was dropped on the street by
• two negro youths.
The officer spotted the pair riding
"double” on the wheel at State and
Montgomery atreets. About the same
time the policeman sighted the riders
they caught sight of hm and fled,
leaving the bicycle behind.
and deny that he told me he was a
firm believer in the social equality of
the white man and the black man.
He went so far as to attempt to block
me from making an address to the
Savannah Trades and Labor Assem
bly. It was only through the co
operation of John P. Spires that I
was able to appear and set forth the
undesirable conditions at the Long
shoremen’s hall which has been in
juring my business and that of oth
er people in the “400” block bn Bay
street.
No Help From Mayor
“Both he and Mayor Gamble gave
me no help when I complained of
acts of public indecency on the part
of negro men loitering at night out
side of the Longshoremens hall. It
was necessary for me to take the
matter up with the health officer be
fore I could get anythnig accom
plished.
“Mr. Jarvis talks of seeing noth
ing amiss, at any time on the cut
skats of the' negro hall. He was not
around when I had to get out into
the street and walk because of some
75 or 80 negro men standing on the
sidewalk in front of the hall. As to
his remarks about ‘gping to court’ be
cause the longshoremen are being
harassed—l would be glad to go into
court about the situation.”
Has Aunt in City
Mrs. Morgan declares that a sister
of the woman is at present living in
Savanah, who she believes is Mrs.
Clyde Mercer. Mrs. Mercer could not
be found in either the new or old city
directory upon search this morning.
Pritcher’s maternal grandparents, also
named Mercer, now reside in Clyo,
Ga., say® Mrs. Morgan.
After being placed in the orphan
age during the World war influenza
epidemic here, Charles Marvin Holley,
as Pritcher was christened, was adopt
ed by Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Pritcher,
of Beaufort, and grew to manhood in
their home without ever learning that
lie was an adopted son. Upon finding
this out three years ago, he deter
mined to locate his true parents, and
has been fruitlessly pureueing the
search ever since. His father, from,
all reports, is believed to have died
overseas.
Search Oontiuues
The search for his parents has
been actively aided by the local chap
ter of King's Daughters which con
ducts the home from which Pritcher
was adopted. Altough thus far un
successful the trail may reach an end
when the clues secured in this mom
ing’s interview with Mrs. Morgan are
run down.

KING NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH
RUNS INTO BRIDGE ON SA
VANNAH BEACH HIGH
WAY
John King, of 405 East Broad street,
narrowly escaped death from drown
ing a little before midnight Saturday
when the auto he was driving skidded
and knocked down a section pf bridge
railing at the Turner’s Creek bridge

The automobllist was on his way
to Savannah from the beach. The
pavement of the span was slippery
from the continued showers. As King
proceeded across the bridge the car
wheels began to skid and the auto
spun completely around. As it did,
the vehicle sheared off a large sec
tion of the wooden railing and tiie
driver tugged frantically at his steer
ing wheel which did not respond.
Somehow the car came to rest without
going overboard.
After an agreement as to the re
pair of the damaged span the auto
mobile was hauled away to a local
garage. No case was made by Coun
ty Officers W. M. Sheppard and J. J.
O’Reilly, investigating, because of the
inclement weather prevailing at the

REV. HGRSHELD
GIVES DIFFERENCE
In his sermon delivered yesterday
at Saint Pauls Episcopal Church.
Rev Geoffrey Horsfield, rector, com
pared the life of St. James tr men
of accomplishments today. Rev.
Horsfield declared that with the tastes
of present day readers for biography
unabated, one could find no greater
lesson than that to be derived from
the life of James; “one of that little
band of twelve who achieved, human
ly speaking, the organization of the
greatest empire that the world has
ever seen.”
Os the activities of the apostles,
Rev. Horsfield said: “Without great
talents, with no material helps, no
political pull, no position in the world
except an humble ’one, these twelve
guided the development of a Fellow,
ship which today, two thousand years
later, is the greatest in the world.”
