Ml THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1929. FINGERPRINTS THE Qd, Ufa Planned Sunday Cockfights Scored by 'American' Negroes Of Tiny Dominican Republic Formerly A Stfirart Jail Warden's Son Held For Setting Fire to Four Houses and Courthouse Cape May Courthouse, N. Sept. 13 Frederick Spaulding, 23, son of Harry Spaulding, warden of Cape May County Jail, has been arrested here on charge of arson. It is alleged he set fire to the old courthouse, the sheriff's residence and three other buildings over a period of several months, causing loss estimated at $20,000.

Suspicion first pointed to him when it was observed he beat the fire apparatus to several oi the fires. Officials say he has confessed. PLACE AT NINTH STREET STORE Hrnmiway In Fourth Avenuf 1th to Khh Street Store 9 to 5 Reproduced in Felt or Soleil HO Distinguished Neiu Versions of The Little Beret and The Off-the-Face Hat peneral Impression of the crew Is that nothing will be done. In the first place, the numerically superior native Dominicans are proud, with some reason, of their national sport. Secondly, thet are Inclined to be jealous of hese "American" Negroes, who, starting with only five acres each, have by hard work won much of the business and agricultural control of San Juan Valley, the most fruitful section of the rich lands of the Republic.

The "American" Negroes have not learned to wield political power here, so they are at a disadvantage. In the old days of recurring revolutions their attempts at neutrality made them butts of both side3. as their bullet-riddled churches show. Even now they feel native hostility in little ways. In a Catholic country, the colony Is Protestant.

Where racial mixtures are not unknown, the descendants of American Negroes refuse to intermarry with their neighbors. In a section where men and women live Informally, these "Americans" get married formally In church. In contrast to the shacks of their neighbors, the colonists' houses are clean and comfortable, with a shelf of books somewhere in evidence. Instead of Spanish, which is spoken almost universally in this country, they speak a rather pure English. They refer to their riding bulls as "bicycles" and reiterate that they are of "American abstraction," and use other words and phrases which recall their brothers in the United States.

Unlike the native Dominicans, the By O. R. PILAT. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Samana, Dominican Republic, Sept. 7 The unique colony of 2,000 descendants of American Negroes here is up In arms over the question to Sunday cockflghting.

These Negroes, who were transported a century ago from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey under an agreement between an American abolition Bociety and whoever happened to be emperor of this island at the time, consider cockflghting on "the Sabbath" a symbol of the native "laxity of morals" which they have been repelling for 100 years. Their ire has been aroused by a new cockpit, which is as sumptuously planned for its purpose as Is Roxy's or the Paramount for moving pictures in New York City. The pit resembles a tiny bull ring, with upright boards of scarlet about the fighting space. It has cozy dens for the fighting cocks, a gaudy thatched roof, ringside boxes with cane chairs for the elite, and a comfortable gallery for less plutocratic spectators. Cockfights are always held on Sunday, and the "Americans" who legally are Dominicans, though they cling stubbornly to the customs of their ancestors in the States maintain that cockflghting shoudd be abolished or the new pit moved outside the town limits, as is done in Santo Domingo City, capital of the Republic.

Dawes headed a special committee of American experts to put the Dominican Government on its financial feet.

13 Frank Julian, 28, of 49 Mlnsdale ave. Laurel Park, was found dead on the Long Island Motor Parkway early last night and a car which police believe he was driving was located at the bottom of the School st. bridge, 30 feet below the parkway. The bridge is a quarter of a mile east of the Meadow Brook entrance to the parkway. Nassau County police, who have been unable to find a witness to the accident, believe that the man was driving alone in his machine and lost control of the car.

The vehicle crashed through the rail of the bridge and dropped to the street below, but the man's body was found on the parkway, leading police to believe he jumped from the machine before it crashed the fence. A man whose name was not obtained by the police first found the car and notified Patrolman Harry Golden of the Nassau County police. Golden called an ambulance surgeon from the Nassau County Hospital, who pronounced the man dead. He is believed to have died from a fractured skull. A labor union card found in his clothing identified the body.

Iazetta, who was a rather stout and Jolly man, well likea in ms neighborhood, recently made con siderable money in several investments.

Last night he was seated In front of the house in which he lived with his wife, Carmella, and their eieht children.
