TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 16. OUR PRESS' Comment on the Great Cleveland Victory the president and opposed to Joseph B. Foraker; the other show the strength of the Taft northern Ohio. Here again voted made a record for voting against Burton. The r this contest is an endorsement Roosevelt's action, and demination of the interference Rosevelt in matters which Unstinted Praise for All, and Especially for Revs. Bailey and Prince and The Gazette for Leading Fight. Too much Johnson, too much Brownsville and too much Foraker defeated Theodore Burton in Cleveland, Ohio—Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. The victory won by Tom Johnson over Theodore Burton in Cleveland, Ohio, on last Tuesday is a great demonstration of the immense and fast increase popularity of Cleveland's big-hearted mayor. Not only does it attest the high esteem in which Mayor Johnson is held, but it prolongs the political life of Ohio's grand and good senior senator, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. This is so, because, had Congressman Burton been elected mayor of Cleveland, he would have been able to control the delegates of his county to the next state convention and the next Ohio assembly and thus eliminate Senator Foraker from public life—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. In the, Cleveland, Ohio, municipal fight it is claimed that Congressman Burton was the candidate of the president and Secretary of War Taft, and the friends of President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft were lending all their influence to elect Mr. Burton to the mayoralty of Cleveland, but their efforts proved unavailing and the Thames proved objectionable. Many republicans voted against Mr. Burton because he refused to admit that he would support and uphold Senator Foraker for re-election to the United States senate. Whether this can be considered as a black eye to the president and secretary of war is best known to those who are in position to know all the facts—Newport News (Va.) Star. Negroes are becoming politically wise. The result of the recent election shows that they are voting for men and measures like other nationalities, and will receive the proper recognition for their manly stand. They voted in Kentucky with the republicans. They voted with Tammany (the heist candidate and defeated the Heist candidate for sheriff in New York, and refused to support Burton, re-electing Tom L. Johnson mayor of Cleveland, O., democratic candidate, as against Congressman Burton, the republican candidate run by President Roosevelt, who represented his views in the Negro soldiers' Brownsville case. The Negroes resented this action by scratching Burton, and the man who voted against any date that the president and members. The Negroes are thoroughly organized in the movement and will carry it out—Springfield (II.) Leader. It is a blessing to note that the better or the thinking class of colored people, including the preachers, refused to support Burton, thereby assisting Johnson to receive more than nine thousand majority over the former. It is true that the outfit running the Cleveland Journal, for a little time, assisted Johnson by electing Burton, but as only a few copies are printed each week, its so-called influence did not amount to anything, and its fight on Senator Foraker, is the only man in the United States senate who has the courage to stand up and champion the cause of the black man, was not felt by him in the slightest degree, and its influence was as against the true friends of the race, ought to forever damn it in the estimation of all decent and liberty-loving people. So farewell Taft, Burton, Roosevelt, and the Cleveland Journal, for on last Tuesday a black eye was administered to the whole outfit by the hand of justice, for which we are exceedingly thankful—Chicago Broad Ax. --- The election of Tom L. Johnson as mayor of Cleveland over Congressman Burton, who was the administration candidate, is a straw which shows the way that the wind is blowing. Behind the candidacy of Mr. Johnson were the democratic party and the Foraker forces and especially the Negro vote of that city. The result of the race to be last Tuesday is an indication of the strength of the Foraker movement in the state of Ohio and a hopeful augury of what may be accomplished for Senator Foraker's candidacy for the presidency by hard and persistent work. The Negroes of Cleveland are to be congratulated on the part which they played in the defeat of a man whom President Roosevelt endeavored to force him to resign. He is hoped that the Negroes throughout Ohio and in other western and northern states will combine and vote with the democrats whenever republicans prove false to their trust and the interests of a Negro are overlooked by them. We all rejoice over Foraker's great victory.—Charleston (S. C.) Southern Reporter. The most important contest settled by Tuesday's election, in which Mr. Roosevelt was directly responsible, was the Cleveland contest in which Tom L. Johnson has overwhelmingly defeated Congressman Burton, who was backed by the whole force of the federal administration. Congressman Burton, considered the strongest man in the state and the direct representative of the Republican nominee against Johnson for a two-fold purpose, one of which was to show that the voters of Cleveland were heartily in sympathy with the president and opposed to Senator Joseph B. Foraker; the other was to show the strength of the Taft boom in northern Ohio. Here again the colony took the record for itself in voting against Burton. This contest is an endorsement of Senator Foraker's action, and a condemnation of the interference of Mr. Roosevelt in matters which concern him and must be accepted by Roosevelt. Roosevelt's reckless more than an endorsement—Philadelphia (Pa.) Weekly Tribune. Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, when they examine the returns from the elections held Tuesday and think of Brownville, can well exclaim in full accord with Lady Macbeth: "Out, damned spot." For they will find cold comfort from the returns. In most of the states where the republican party was successful, the reactionaries were in the ascendance. In Ohio, the N.Y. candidate for governor, the Hon. Thad Burton, was undoubtedly defeated by the votes of Negroes led by Hon. Harry C. Smith, the veteran editor of The Cleveland Gazette. In Cincinnati the Cox machine, which Secretary Taft defeated in a previous campaign, landed a republican victory. * * * That Brownville has played a part in the election is evident from the instruction to campaigners in New York previous season. "The mention Roosevelt's name when addressing Negroes." In Cleveland, Burton's opposition to Foraker, because of the latter's break with the president on the account of the Brownville investigation, was made the basis of the colored voters' opposition to the republican ticket. In Kentucky, though the colored voters supported the ticket—it was only after the state convention had refused to endorse Taft Brownville injustice has made itself felt the poole and it should make itself felt the republican party to sit up and take notice. A party name will not make all men vote to endorse wrong doing.—Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. The results of the election in Cleveland were exceedingly gratifying to The Informer and renew our faith in the manly character of the multitudes of colored American gentlemen who have come to the point of resenting insult and injury and of repudiating the truckling servility that has been so humiliating to self-respecting Negroes in the past. Burton was beaten aplenty, but he is not the chief sufferer, but he is the most Roosevelt and Taft, whom Negroes had but never forget because of the infamous "Brownville" incident. Curiously enough many of the white newspapers seem to ignore the importance of the Negro defection from the republican candidate for mayor in Cleveland, but the fact remains that the bolt of the 4,000 colored American voters Tuesday, together with the large number of white supporters of the Democratic Party, tendentially encompassed the defeat of Mr. Burton incidentally elected that other mighty friend of humanity, Hon. Tom Loffin Johnson. The star of Roosevelt and Taft has been materially lowered in Ohio and the commanding figure of Foraker again looms up to the first place in Buckeye politics. Hon. Harry C. Smith, the intrepid editor of The Gazette, who, with his noble lieutenants, Revs. Prince and Bailey, fought so effectively for the right, is the first African-American to be recalled with in future. The poor, pitiful Cleveland Journal, poor thing, she may as well kiss her friends good-bye and back off the viaduct into the bottomless Cuyahoga—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. Hon. Theodore E. Burton, candidate for mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, against Mayor Tom L. Johnson, was defeated last Tuesday, although he had the endorsement of President Roosevelt and it was said made the canvass on his suggestion. Previous to the election, Mr. Burton refused to give any assurance to a delegation of colored men that he would be the candidate for re-election to the United States senate. As a result, he was bitterly opposed by some of the colored citizens under the acknowledged leadership of Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette. There will be no tears shed for the delegation of colored men of the country, " " " " " " Senator Forker did shake the statement as to the guilt of the Negro troopers. He not only shook it, but battered it dawn as well. He flew the colors of the law that every person is presumed innocent until he is proved guilty and an republical bedtime of infamous punishment small not be meted, save by due process of law. This was the position of the distinguished senator from Ohio and this is the position of the voters of color of Cleveland, Ohio, led by that "prince of race leaders". Hon. Harry C. Smith, Ohio, who contributed largely to the House of Cleveland E. Burton, is a warning of the Ohio state. This is a warning on the political horizon and is an indication as to what the republican leaders of the Roosevelt stripe may expect in Ohio, Indiana, New York, New Jersey and many other northern states unless something is done to right the wrong balance in the "tallonation" in its true light before the people of the world—Richmond (Va.) Planet. While it would not have been proper for us to have said so before last Tuesday's election, we can now say that we were fearful of the outcome in Cleveland, where Representative in Congress Theodore Burton was running for mayor. We have no objection to Mr. Burton's being mayor. We have no objection to Mr. Burton having made a good one. He had the backing of the president and Secretary Taft. The impression was abroad that he was running to test the sentiment of Ohio republicans as to Senator Foaker's future. It was believed that had Mr. Burton been successful, his vote would have been that as an indemnsement of his ambition to succeed Senator Foraker. Many leading colored men in Ohio and elsewhere believed that Burton's success meant Foraker's elimination. We shared in that belief. We would not advocate opposition to Secretary Taft should be nominated by his party. Continued on Second PAGE. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—Accept my congratulations on your well-earned victory in your city. Had Mr. Burton made the fight for the best interest of the city of Cleveland, I would not to counsel in his actions; but he did not. I read in his actions State Journal, Columbus, as coming from the Taft headquarters, as follows: "At Taft headquarters there is general sorrow over the defeat of Theodore Burton. Of course the Cleveland congressman is not the strongest factor in state politics; he would have been better to be aware that he did not want to be made Cleveland; that his tastes and inclination, as well as his training, was for his work in congress, etc." By this you see that it is admitted by his managers that he was working simply to get control of the state politically, and be interested in the city of Cleveland. I hope that, not to a set of men whose purpose has been simply to disguise us. With regards, I am yours for success, (Dr.) S. J. JORDAN. Dallas, Tex., Nov. 7, 1907 Gatlin, Tex., Nov. 7, 1907. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—Please accept my hearty congratulations upon the hard fight and great victory in the recent election. I am sure I will efforts through The Gazette largely contributed to the defeat of Mr. Burton, which means a rebuke to the president and vindication for Senator Foraker. Now that we have won this victory, there is a greater battle to be fought one year hence. I believe that a movement should be started now to state the reasons why voters of several states who believe in freedom, "a square deal," justice and equality before the law, for every American citizen. The colored voters, and especially those of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New York and New Jersey, if well organized, and work together, can wield the balance of power in the national election next year. I believe it wise for you and others to call a national conference to way appoint a national committee in Indianapolis or Chicago, and formulate a plan of Foraker clubs and establish them wherever possible, and get out a campaign button or badge and open a roll of honor for those colored voters who have race pride enough to stand up for citizenship and manhood. I believe this suggestion is worthy of a serious consideration. I expect to return north soon, and if in my humble way I can be of any service it will be a pleasure to me. W. F. COZART Louisville Ky.

Editor Gazette, My Dear Comrade in the Battles of the Race.—I read with interest your very many fight in past issues of your paper, and hereby extend my congratulations for the victory you have achieved in the defeat of Mr. Burton for mayor of your city. If there was a time in the history of the race who succeeded a line-up against his opponents, now. Let the American Negro desert Senator Foraker for any cause and it will be many years before any white man will throw himself in the breach in our defense. In all ages, men who have fought the battles for the oppressed have at least had the gratitude of those whom they defended. Now, nothing would be more painful to a Continued on Second Page IN UNION THERE GS STRAIGHT TRAITORS! Even Burton Must Despise Them! Roosevelt and Taft Will Have No Use for Them—Senator Foraker! (Special to The Gazette.) W. T. FERGUSON. The senate committee to inquire into the Brownsville affair will meet to resume its work next week. Senator Foraker has new evidence of a very important nature to introduce, but it is said that efforts will be made to close the inquiry immediately upon the reassembling of the committee. Efforts to close will be led by Senator Warner, of Missouri, a "Roosevelt republican." Why should the committee make such steps; are they afraid of the curbing truths that the invincible Foraker has asserted? It appears that some of the committee are fearful that the Negro soldiers will come out without any wounds or scars, except those Roosevelt and Taft have given them and the race.

NINE of the eleven “ministers held out against Burton until the last.” Only two were proselyted—the pastors of Cory and ‘eet eeieamends Remember Brownsville? Roosevelt and Taft, as well as Burton, will think ‘s0, many times, before they have done with the affair. Their present effort to prevent Senator Foraker from in- troducing some valuable testimony he has secured at great expense and ef- fort since the last recess of the com- mittee on military affairs, is calcu- lated only to aggravate the matter as far as our people are concerned. It ill be remembered that just before the committee's recess or adjourn- ment the administration had wit- nesses against the soldiers, examined early in the investigation, put upon the stand before the committee a sec- ‘ond time, and the way they lied simply “outheroiled Herod.” It is this condi- tion of affairs which the Roosevelt. ‘Taft administration hopes to maintain until the Brownsville affair is threshed ‘out or smothered in the senate this winter. It is anything with them, to Jeave an impression of guilt upon a part, if not all of “The Black Bat. talion.” They will fall, however, be- cause they have to deal with their master—our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. ‘There was even less excuse for Prof. W. 8. Scarborough to “butt” into the recent local campaign as he did, than there was for President Roose velt and Secretary Taft, because he 1s too intelligent a man not to know that the candidacy of Congressman Theo- dore E. Burton for mayor of Cleve- ‘and, encouraged as it was by the ad- ministration for the purpose of secur- ing aid in fts effort to eliminate from public life Senator Foraker, simply forced tho loyal, manly and grateful Afro-Americans of thts community to ‘oppose Burton. Then, too, we warned him (Scarborough) in answer to a let- ter sent to us early in the campaign to keep his hands off, for reasons ob- vious. Therefore no excuse for his peprebensible action in the matter, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY.

Washington, published in the Tus, Kegee Student, about two months ago, assuring that gentleman of his great loyalty to him along all lines, rather prepared us for the unwarranted truckling and somewhat ridiculous conrse he pursued when uninvited, and without any good reason wh-t- ever he butted into our recent local campaign, and, too, on the wrong side from a race viewpoint. We regret exceedingly to be compelled to write thus severely in criticism of a friend of at least. twenty-five years’ stand- ing. Yet under the circumstances, we feel fully justified in so doing. BROWNSVILLE REMEMBERED! All over this country, election day, ‘our people remembered Brownsville. Candidates with the approval of Roose- velt and Taft were helped down to defeat by them in such a way as to Jeave no doubt in the mind of any fair- minded, intelligent person that Afro- Americans have at last awakened and are using the ball8t as they should to strike, without fear or favor, in the interest of the race. This Is as {t should be, because our rights, or nothing else will be respected until ‘the leaders, as well as the rank and file of the republican party learn that ve too, like all other classes, will strike in our own defense and battle aggressively at the polls, as well as elsewhere, for all that we are entitled to. Nothing has happened in the last quarter of a century which has done 80 much to Uring about this condition, and a union among our people such as has not existed since reconstruc- tion days, as the Brownsville affair. In this respect, it has proven a God- send. Yes, we remembered Browns- ville, and the longer our people con- tinue to do so in the light of their ac- tion on the recent election day, the better it is going to be for them. Tell your congressman and U. 8. senators to carry this news to Roosevelt and ‘Taft, and tell them that unless justice is meted out to “The Black Battalion” this winter, there will be no republican elected president next year, especially if the candidate should be so unfortu- nate as to bear the Roosevelt stamp of approval. In saying this, we do not regard the Taft candidacy seriously, nor believe that the president would be foolish enough to try for a third term. Neither of these two worthles, in the face of their abuse of our Brownsville soldiers and the race, in messages to congress last winter, could hope for any material support from loyal and manly Afro-Americans. STOOD TO THE LAST! Of the eleven ministers who signed or authorized their names to be signed to the questions under date of Septem- ber 9, 1907, submitted for answer to Candidate Burton, the following nine stood until the last, like Spartans, to the guns that thandered out against President Roosevelt's candidate for mayor of Cleveland: : REV. DR. B. J. PRINCE. REV. DR. H.C. BAILEY. REV. DR. CHAS. BUNDY. REV. DR. J. M. GILMERE, REV. IRA A. COLLINS. REV. E. D. DANDRIDGE. REV. W. M. McELROY, REV. J. H. HOLLEY. REV. J. 8. JACKSON.

It was “up to” the grateful, loyal and manly Afro-Americans of Cleveland to show unmistakably how great was the feeling of gratitude to Senator For- aker, of our people the country over, not alone for his efforts in behalf of “The Black Battalion” and the race in the Brownsville matter, but also for the true friendship manifested by him ‘on many occasions throughout the last quarter of a century.

(Continued from First Pere.) ‘for president, but we rejoice that em phatic notice’ has been served on him and the president that we are not a race of ingrates and that we will do nothing to further any man's plans who means to destroy the one man who has had the courage to champion the ‘cause of the oppressed. The Brownsville trouble will not down. It will never be settied until it is settled right. If the president and his advis- ers are wgse they will settle it before the campaign of 1908 begins. The great American heart is not dead to appeals for justice. In the entire his- tory of our country there has never been a more eloquent pleader before the bar of public opinion than brave old Sergt. Mingo Saunders, with his twenty-six years’ flawless record, his wounds, his medals and his unmerited disgrace, as pictured by Harper's Weekly. Mr. Burton had better stifle his senatorial ambition. The presi- dent had better hearken to his second and more sober judgment and restore ‘that black battalion to the army. Tait had better hitch to his aspirations (0 Foraker’s chariot wheels, for if he does not and Tom Johnson shall be a can- didate against him for president, Ohio will be a mighty uncertain quantity. Philadelphia (Pa) Odd Fellows’ aanrane In our last issue we took occasion to deride and denounce those misguid- ed Cleveland citizens of color who were determined to vote for the elec- tion of Theodore Burton as the next mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Our invec- tive was called forth by interviews published in the Cleveland Journal over the signatures of Prof. W. S Scarborough and Messrs. Charles W. Chestnut and John P. Green, admon- ishing the colored eitizens of Cleve- land to vote for Burton, Foraker's en- emy. We were surprised and cha- grined at the action of ‘these three lead- ers. Of course John P. Green is a machine republican. We had placed higher estimate upon Charles W Chestnut, author, lawyer and publi: cist. His moral ‘character has never been questioned and he has at least never advocated the degradation of his people. We are willing to believe that he is not a close student of poll ties and: mistook submission for regu- larity. But when we beheld the great Scarborough, the scholar with Jong association with all that makes for manhood and high thinking “bir ting” In to help elect Burton, our amazement grew to bounds. We have a letter from him saying Burton is a classmate and giving a plausible de- feuse, upon which we shall comment next week. Our faith in the stamina of the race, which has long been our gulding stat in the face of much that has discouraged and shaken it be- came momentarily shattered. If the finest education and the highest en- vironment for two score years and more could produce a colored Ameri- ‘can so party bound as to put anything ahead of gratitude to Foraker, the race's champlon, to support the “man Friday” of the biggest tyrant and race calumniator who ever sat in the White House, then, indeed, we real- fzed the fact in all its fullness, that it takes something more than education to make the man. Perhaps after all, the hope of the Negro race in Americ: lies not with the educators and poll- tical leaders, but with the great hon- est and sturdy masses, whose brows ‘sweat with il-requited’ toil and who endure the sufferings against which their leaders rail, discant, but act not. Burton went down to a richly de- served defeat, and the colored men who went down with him tan find some comfort in the shadow of the “Big Stick,” the coward’s terror. This fs still a’ democratic republic. and ‘Roosevelt has been taught the lesson that not even a man of his autocratic and masterful temperament can dic- tate to an intelligent and free elec- torate on matters purely local. All honor to Hon, Harry C. Smith, Rev. Bailey, Rev. Prince and the devoted band ‘of colored men who rallied around his standard. Henceforth let every colored American citizen oppose to the last ditch everything which the president endorses and in this way we shall prove to the world that we are not a race of ingrates and that it pays ‘to champion our cause. God be praised ‘for the defeat of Burton, which means Foraker is saved to the 1ace in con: gress or—in the presidential chair— Boston (Mass.) Guardian, ATHERSON-WESTBERRY.

Taft-Burton republicans _were stabbed to the heart Weidnesday by a story from Washington. A Taft agent, who has just visited the presi dent, sent back the result of his in- terview. Sines the Cleveland election, hewspapers over the country have gen: erally Interpreted the result as a bunch of lovely white roses laid on the coffin of the Taft boom for presi dent. The Taft boomers at Columbus dispatched a man from headquarters to see the president and ask him to come forward with a new statement saying that Wm, H. Taft 1s his first and only love. “Nay, may,’ the president replied. “Not now. No more statements.” Since the message came, the Taft Burton folk have been wondering. People close to Congressman Burton say he now believes Roosevelt himselt will be nominated at the next repub- Hean convention. The president's re- fusal to issue a further indorsement of Taft at this time follows a New York interview by Geo. B. Cox, the Cincinnati boss, in which he turned down both Taft and Burton, and_an- nounced that both Foraker and Dick would go back to the United States senate. The gloom that followed this has been thickened by the president's silence. A telegram to “The Press" from Washington says that President Roosevelt will not permit the Roose- velt strength to be scattered among various candidates at this time. The president believes that the present money stringency is a Wall street plot to do him up politically, and he thinks that Chas. E. Hughes, governor of New York, has been picked as the Rogkefeller-Pierpont Morgan candidate to do the job. Foraker to Fight Taft.

These newspapers say that Taft would make Ohfo a doubtful state; that the Negro vote could not be polled for him; that he has no strength among independent voters and that if Ohio must have a candi- date the man must be Foraker. That the senator has had a hand in this shifting of newspapers from the Taft column there is little reason to doubt and it indicates his purpose to take the field in person. ‘The antt-Taft men are confident that at the very worst they will split Ohio almost evenly and winning one-half the delegates make the secretary impossible in a national campaign. ea Tae eee The Salvation Army will conduct services Sunday evening.—Mesdames Eaith Collins and Lizzie Reed and children visited Mr, and Mrs, Mar. shall, of Portville, Sunday.—Mrs. Les. ter Clemons and daughter, Mrs. Rich ardson, were called to Roulette, Pa., by the former's mother’s illness, | Mrs, Richardson will remain a few weeks and Mrs, Clemons has returned —T.

USED THE MONEY OF BANKS To Obtain for Himself the Ownership of Various Properties, Giving, It Is Alleged, Worthless Bonds ie Gani: Chicago, Il. — The trial of John R. Walsh, formerly president of the Chicago national bank, now defunct, on a charge of misuse of the funds of that institution, formally opened Wed- nesday. The jury was completed and Assistant District Attorney Fletcher Dobyns, at the opening of the atter- noon session, began the preliminary statement in behalf of the government, The government will attempt to show that Walsh took from the Chi cago national bank, the Equitable Trust Co, and the Home Savings bank $14,000,000. Dobyns declared that Walsh obtained the ownership of vart ous large properties without cost to imself by using the funds of the banks. J fe said: “Watered stock to the probable amount of $25,000,000 or $30, 000,000 was fssued. Mr. Walsh, through ‘his! employes, voted the stock to him: /self, He then sold this stock to the “banks, taking the money to build up ‘his private enterprises. All of the “stock so sold by Mr. Walsh was prac [tleally valueless. It was the practice ‘of Mr. Walsh to make loans to one of “his companies and then sell the bonds ‘of that company to the bank. These ‘bonds were practically worthiess.” The assistant district attorney stat: ‘ed to the jury tat Mr. Walsh had in “duced various persons to sign “accom _moiation” notes for the bank. “Then,” sald Dobyns, “he signed the names of “people to notes. Checks were made “out papable to bearer, and credited to the personal account of Mr. Walsh, | “Bonds were made out to the same ‘aummiles’ whose names were on the [notes and ‘credits were made to” Mr. Walsh's account, “In 1903 Mr. Walsh was told by the bank examiner that the Chieago na- ‘tonal bank was being loaded down with the securities of Mn. Walsh's per- sonal enterprises. ‘The examiner’ or- dered him to take these securities out, and Mr, Walsh promised to do so, “In 1904 the bank was found in the same condition, the warning was re- peated and Mr.’ Walsh again. promised to femove the securities. Another examination showed that the bank was In a worse condition than ever and it was then ordered closed. “The government will show that Walsh’s method was to buy from bim- self, fix his own price and put the incoey fn Kis pocket” DECISION WAS RESERVED. Case of inter-state Commerce Commis sion vs. E. H. Harriman Is Heard in Court. New York City. — After seven hours and @ half of argument on both sides of the question, Judge Hough, tn the United States cireuit court, an. nounced last night that he would not be ready to render a decision on the petition of the interstate commerce commission to compel E, H. Harriman to answer certain questions propound ed to him last spring in the course of the commission's investigation into the so-called Harriman lines, until De cember 1. ‘The arguments took a wide range and the powers of the inter-state com merce commission were thoroughly gone into. Ex-Senator John C. Spoon: er, of Wisconsin, appeared for the first time in the case and argued in defense of the pos'tion maintained by Mr. Har riman—that he is not required to tell the commission what profit he made tn selling the stocks of other railroads held by him to the Union Pacific com pany, or to detail the manner in which the famous 10 per cent, Union Pacific dividend was declared in August, 1906 and its announcement deferred for twe days. ‘All that Mr. Harriman had done, Mr, Milburn declared, had met with’ the fullest ap roval of the stockholders of the Union Pacific Co. He stated that allowing for losses sustained in the re cent heavy slump of prices the Union Pacific had profited no less than $22, 000,000 by its stock purchases, DEFENSE WILL PLEAD INSANITY. ‘Trial of Mrs. Annie Bradley, Who Killed Ex-Senator Brown, Begins.

Satin sometimes veiled with lace is at the moment the favor. ite wedding robe, although the robe of one fashionable bride of the east was made of a superb panne velvet trimmed with old family point lace and a large lace shawl yell added to the richness of the costume. Of course it takes either a tall or a full figure to properly carry such rich materials, and the petite or thin bride would do well to wear a chiffon or other filmy gown and a tulle veil, Such frocks can be exquisitely embrotdered and be quite as beautiful and far more suita- Dle for the thin or short girl than vel- vet. No matter how simple the bridal gown itself may be, there is a large field of choice in the matter of the at- tendants' frocks, and a party of brides- maids may be gowned in different col- ors or shades of the same color, or if a matron of honor or a maid of honor, or both, are added to bridesmaidg, there is a still greater chance to dis. play artistic taste and originality. If there is to be extreme simplicity in the wedding gowns, then a house wedding or a small church would seem the proper thing: but if a large church wedding, with a long invitation list in- cluded in the program, then let there be as novel and beautiful garments and other accessories to the pageant as 1s conz!stent with good taste—and a lot more is consistent than the hide- bound loyer of the commonplace is usually willing to admit, ‘The French adhere strictly to the Jeune fille idea in dressing their brides, the simplest frocks and usually tulle veils, but their girl brides are quite different from ours, and so 1s the whole social scheme, It behooves the American woman to exercise her originality in the matter of dress, if she have it, and not only to select the dest of the English and continental fashions, but to add touches of her own and add originality to the scheme or to evolve new designs, But other apparel must be consid: ered besides the bridal outfittings and we must needs turn to the tailor-made costumes. As a general statement we would say that the skirts are shorter and the coats are longer, although with the long coat a short skirt does not look well. The skirt that just touches the ground is permissible, and Jong princess coats in cloth are made Just above the ankle’. Then on the other hand the halflength coat is equally popular. Checks are popular, and are used extensively by leading tallors in rather somber mixtures that lend themselves admirably to the braiding which is such a marked feature of the Viennese tailor-made. ‘Another delightful trimming, and one that is gladly welcomed with the first touch of autumn, is velvet. Vel- vet collars are used even on riding habits, and some of the smartest cloth dresses are strapped with it.

No woman looks well dressed unlews she knows how to put on her clothes; the best dress- maker in the world cannat invest the wearer with the meaning of the gown, As to hats, I should like to point out. ‘one or two important changes which have taken place in the millinery world since last season. We have completely done away with hat brims which are longer at the back than the front, and we no longer hide the back of our necks! Cloche hats—even those in mushroom form—are still very fashionable, but they are no longer exaggerated in outline and they are worn on the head. And then we are becoming very enthusiastic over the it BA i ay 15 \ salen lel nM cavalier hat, turned up at one side and trimmed with handsome feathers or with immense clusters of flowers, Black taffeta hats bound with black silk braid are possessed of much charm.

The statements made during the campaign that Congressman Burton "worked hard" to secure the appointment of auditor of the war department under President McKayle for the editor of The Gazette; that Representative Parham, while a member of the legislature, ever "mucernically censured him"; that the latter ever composed music, "after some one else had written it," (an impossibility); that the editor of The Gazette "has opposed the every colored than nominated on the republican ticket in Cyngahoga county, and everybody he has opposed has been triumphantly elected" (Tom Fleming for instance); and that he said "the American flag was nothing to our race," are a few of the miser- Mr. and Mrs. Wallace A.

He is a member of the first named committee. He is also the late Whitte Cifford and John Fultonake after election to "skiddoo" back to Washington and Columbus, respectively. Their presence in the city for three or four weeks prior to that day did Candidate Burton far more harm than good.

All during the campaign when the busboys were making so much noise, boasting, abusing, and defaming us, we kept in mind the fact that "he who crows last crows best," and we have been having crows in abundance ever since election day, thank the Lord.

Green. He also registered in precinct B, ward 13, and never to Haas. A Canadian and has never been naturalized. Revs. Maxwell's and Sissle's double political somersault into the Burton camp was at a most fortunate (for them) moment—just at the time of Rev. Dr. Prince's and Bailey's exposure of George Myers' attempt to boodle them. They have greatly injured their standing with the masses of our people in this community. The other nine ministers who signed the questions submitted to Candidate Burton stood firm for the tight throughout the campaign, some like me, the contrary not withstanding. The other four of the members of their churches stood by them and still stand by them as they should, regardless of all influence to the contrary in and out of their organizations. The statements made during the campaign that Congressman Burton "worked hard" to secure the appointment of auditor of the war department under President McKinley for the editor of The Gazette; that representative Parham, while a member of the legislature, ever "unmercifully composed music, after some had written it," (an impossibility); that the editor of The Gazette "has opposed every colored man nominated on the republican ticket in Cuyahoga county, and everybody he has opposed has been triumphantly elected" (Tom Fleming for instance); and that he said "the American flag was nothing more, and are a few of the miserable and malicious publications during the last few weeks in the subsidized Cleveland "Toilet-paper" which is supposedly edited by (Brascher) the superintendent of Cory chapel Sunday school, formerly a dirty-disk carrier in the Chamber of Commerce building dining room. The thick-lipped and long-eared animal sought to distract the editor of The campaign but failed, because the editor had important things to do and as a result no time to waste in paying attention 'to the harmless braying of a long-eared and ebony-hued ass. Tom Fleming and those poor misguided Negroes who supported him for councilman-at-large are still of the belief that he had some chance to win—that is, to be elected. It shows how thoroughly obtuse as well as ignorant of the real political situation in this country, some people can be. It was never the case by a political Crawford that Tom Fleming's candidacy should be anything more than a toll for Negro votes. At first, when it was thought that an Afro-American would be an independent republican candidate for the council in the Twelfth ward, "Bill" conceived the idea of Fleming's candidacy, so that he would urge our men in the Twelfth ward to urge him in the Twelfth ward, and not for him, in the interest of Hirstus' candidacy of course. Brown, as an independent republican candidate in the Twelfth ward, would have had vastly more chance of election than Fleming, and the member or members of the race who conspired and others (white) to euchre him and his republicanism to his candidacy in the interest of Hirstus, and presumably Fleming, were only of poor, deluded Negroes and designing and prejudiced, as well as unscrupulous, white politicians. We commend the above to the consideration of the careful and thoughtful, that they at least may know how "Boss" Crawford fooled many of the Negroes, the Twelfth ward—not all, because some of us saw through it all early in the day, so we could to save the others who fell into "Boss" Bill's trap, loaded with campaign "booble," jolly and promises of office.

As both of the instances you mention in your usual took place prior to my warning, I will not take up these cases further.
