TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 41. PARISIAN STYLES THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Directoire Coat of Bright Blue Mandarin Wrap of Embroidered Taffeta. Garriage Wrap of Satin Enveloppe. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER TWENTY-FIFTH PARISIAN Directoire Coat of Bright Blue Taffeta. Carriage Wrap of S PICTURES FOR DINING ROOM. Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refreshing Scenes Most Appropriate. Dining room pictures are limited as to subject if one is to choose according to the accepted standards. The modern man and woman of good taste are fastidious about the company they dine with, and they prefer no pictures at all to inappropriate ones. Floral subjects are suited to dining room walls and dainty, refreshing scenes are appropriate. Figures fit better into other rooms. French prints in delicate colorings are favorite pictures for bedrooms. They are dainty in subject and tone and look well in white, gold, pale gray or any light-tinted frame. For some time now women have been buying up French prints at auctions and in the shops to be later hung in their country homes. The prints are not expensive and they are perfect for rooms belonging to the sex they usually portray. Etchings and photogravures are the next choice for bedroom walls. The list of subjects in this line is so varied and so long that all tastes and fancies can be suited. The average hall is too small to suggest a background for pictures, yet where there is space pictures can be hung on the slanting walls with a charming effect. Colored or brown prints of uniform size and set in a uniform molding may be arranged in an ascending line parallel with the stairway. Often pictures are hung in this way so close together that the edges almost touch. Hunting scenes and quaint old prints are suited to hall walls. The walls opposite the stairma may be decorated with a few larger pictures of the same style and framed in the same way as the smaller ones. A biggle-piggly arrangement is never in good taste in any room. There must be a recognized regularity about the hanging if the result is to be at all satisfactory. Photographs are now hung only in the bedroom or the boudoir. A group of one's relatives and close friends may occupy a large space on one wall. There may be a dozen or more single pictures framed in small ovals, circles, squares and grouped together artistically. French frames, showing an elaborate festooning in gold across the top of the picture, are exquisite for photographs. These may be hung separately to give the effect of medallions against the delicate wall covering. The Newest Embroideries. The latest embroideries on skirts show that sheffield or padded so as to stand boldly out from the gown material, and it is done in silk, fine wool, or even cotton, and the designs include not merely leaves and flowers, but scroll patterns. This form of decoration is so pronounced that it is done in the color of the material upon which it is worked or in shades of the same color. It is rich and also expensive. In Paris the smart modistes each have one or more employees who do nothing but embroider, and the designs are kept distinct, no two gowns being embroidered alike, so that exclusiveness of design delights the woman of means. Modified Russian Blouses Attractive blouses for children of eight years are made of heavy linen on the same patterns as the peasant smock, fastened on the left shoulder by five pearl buttons. They slip over the head and are easy to wash, while the simplicity of the band around the neck and down the side needs no ornaments of lace or insertion. Cherry Tints In Favor. The cherry tints are favored among the reds for spring and summer wear and promise to have great vogue. Charming silk and sheer fabrics are being brought out in cherry and coral tones and touches of both appear in the new millinery. THE GAZETTE EMBROIDERY FOR THE DRESS. Wearer Now Puts the Finishing Touches on Costume. Hand embroidery is quite the most desirable trimming one may have, no matter what the costume may be, and one of the very latest ideas is to have the dress made up by the dressmaker, and when it is finished the wearer puts in her idle moments decorating it in plain but very conspicuous stitches. It was thus that an eton dress was made, the under-blouse of filet net. The jacket effect of Copenhagen blue pongee was embroidered in big flowers, one overlapping the other, so that it gave the effect of a huge and artistic bouquet and also a great deal of embroidery, while in reality there was very little. The petals were embroidered in the long and short stitch finished all 'round in a buttonhole stitch, while the inside of the flowers were finished in French knots. The floss was exactly the same shade as the dress itself, and was of the coarsest silk fiber, so that it took not very many stitches to finish the work, and each stitch showed to the best advantage. The same idea is frequently carried out in jumper dresses and gulpe frocks, and it is surprising how little embroidery it takes to give the gown that distinctive stamp of elegance that hand embroidery always adds. Japanese Effects. A quaint new wrap has Japanese sleeves that cover the shoulders almost to the neck. The wrap has a bolero back, quite loose, and the fronts are nothing but ribbon attached to the sleeves, carried across the front of the waist and tied in a bow with the ends left to stream out at considerable length. In bodices there is also a Japanese effect in a draped waist with broad bands forming the sleeves. These bands go down the back, forming and outlining a pointed hood that tapers in at the waist line. From the pointed end a long tassel depends and rests on the skirt. This is used in elaborate afternoon gowns. SCARBOROUGH COSTUME. SCARBORO COUNTY COUNTY BILL The smartness of the "Scarborough" costume is obvious from its faithful portrait here. It is made up either in black or navy serge, or in grey tweeds, with a fine stripe or tiny check is black. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1908. CAN'T ELECT SECRETARY TAFT "Abandonment of the Fifteenth Amendment Which Taft Says Is in the Right Direction," and 'Brownsville.' Also Exclusion of Colored Voters from the Republican Caucuses and Conventions in the South, and "Lily Whiteism"—Labor Hostility Can't Be Eradicated. Also Vast Expenditure of Money by Taft's Brother to Buy Nomination and Get Colored and Other Support, as Well as Money Trust—Also Combination With Race Track Gamblers—Contested Delegates! Concord, N. H.—Ex-Senator William E. Chandler, one of the leading opponents of a Taft preferential resolution at the recent state convention, has issued a statement giving reasons why he thinks the secretary of war is unavailable as a presidential candidate. The reasons in the statement are: "1. On account of the hostility of the Colored voters and based upon the Brownsville incident. "2. Upon the abandonment of the fifteenth amendment, the movement for which, made by the Democrats in the southern states, Secretary Taft suggested, the organization of Lily White movements, and the practical destruction of the whole Republican Party at the south as the policy of the party. "3. IV. THE EXCLUSION OF COLORED VOTERS FROM THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES AND CONVENTIONS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES, the organization of Lily White movements, and the practical destruction of the whole Republican Party at the south as the policy of the party. "4. IV. THE ACTIVITY OF THE FEDERAL OFFICEHOLDERS, making in whole the organization of primarily a movement of the present holdout of federal offices backed by the administration and pushed forward by its direction. "5. V. THE VAST EXPENDITURE OF MONEY IN CARRYING ON THE CANVASS, LARGELY THEAT OF CHARLES P. TAFT, WHOSE FORTUNE IS ESTIMATED AT $25,000,000. TO BE INCREASED BY LARGE INDIVIDUALS FROM ORGANIZED WEALTH, THE SAME AS IN 1904. "6. VI. The troubles in Ohio: In order that Taft might be indored by the Republican state organization, THE STATE NOMINATIONS WERE DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF THE LOCAL BOSSSES in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Dayton, THE NOMINATIONS WERE MADE THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN REVOLT AGAINST THEM, so that the state ticket cannot be elected, nor the presidential. "VII. The abandonment by the administration of the reform legislation. (1) For suppressing trusts, and (2) preventing railroad extortion and crime. This is presided by the two burglaries the president of the two January 31, denouncing the trusts, and when that had done its work, the message of March 25, SURRENDERING TO THE TRUSTS IN RETURN FOR ASSISTANCE IN NOMINATING TAFT and by an analysis of the Hepburn trust bill (H. R. 19745), modifying the anti-trust law of 1900 and the anti-pooling law of 1900. VI. THE OPPOSITION TO TAFT OF THE LABOR UNIONS OF THE COUNTRY WHICH SEEMS TO BE UNIVERSAL. It may or may not be just, but it existe and IS INERADICABLE, and it is tempting fate for the Republican party to make Secretary Taft its one great leader in the face of the organized labor unions of the country. There now comes a new and special objection to Mr. Taft as a candidate, and that is the COMBINATION OF HIS SUPPORTERS IN EVERY STATE WITH THE RACE TRACK GAMBLERS led by William Barnes. The movement is one to prevent the passage of the anti-gambling bills, to destroy Gov. Hughes as a presidential candidate and to place NOMINATION AS THE RACE TRACK CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. "THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY NEW YORK FOR TAFT, SO THAT WITH NEW YORK AND OHIO HOPELESS, THERE SHOULD BE NO REASONABLE GROUND FOR EXPECTING HIS ELECTION EVEN AGAINST MR. BRYAN, MUCH LESS AGAINST GOV. JOHNSON OR SOME STRONGER CANDIDATE THE COUNTRY MAY DEFEND THE DEMOCRATIC UPRA." The right to about 100 Taft delegates to sit in the Republican national convention may depend upon the answer which the members of the national committee make to a letter written a few days ago by ex-Senator Chandler. In this letter, which was sent to every member of the Republican national committee Monday, Senator Chandler raises the question as to whether the committee will seat delegates which were selected by conventions from which Afro-American Republicans were excluded. Practically all of the delegates which are instructed for Taft in the southern states were selected by "white" conventions. Senator Chandler asks the committee to go on record as to what will be their policy in seating delegates.

If such a thing had been done to us, we would have been ashamed for the world to know it—Martinsburg (W. V.) Flower Press. William H. Coyle, owner of a string of cotton gins and several cotton-seed oil mills in central Oklahoma, says the Negro grows two-thirds of the entire Oklahoma cotton crop. There are many Negro farmers in the state, and they plant it and it is so strong that every white planter employs Negroes exclusively to plant, tend and harvest the crop. Many farmers from the north who, until they came to Oklahoma, knew nothing whatever of cotton culture, have watched the Negro grow it, and have in turn hired him to grow it for him. The eloquent Bishop W. B. Derrick has been on a visit to Africa and recently after a visit to the White House, he said that the president that the colored votes of the country would be solid for the Republican ticket. If the distinguished churchman made the statement, it is proof positive that he has been in Africa during the past few months. No man as truthful as he is known to be would have made a declaration save upon very some information on some one please make information on some one lighten the bishop upon conditions since he has been away from this country?—N. V. National Review. When a delegate in the South Carolina state Republican convention this week called John G. Capers a "good Democrat" and applauded him upon his liberality, he said no more than was true and did well to call attention to Mr. Capers' element. Mr. Capers is not only a "good" Democrat, but he is a most offensive partisan. He has no business in the Republican party. He is out of tune with its strain, sympathy with paucism, and has no history. He held no office and drew no pay because of his affiliation with the Republican party, he would not be connected with the party. A wolf, he is not even attired in sheep's clothing.—N. Y. National Review. THE LYONS CASE Against a Skating Rink Company to Go to the State Supreme Court —We Demand Justice. Akron, O.—That a tremendous effort the country over is being made to deprive Afro-Americans of their rights, civil and moral, which are guaranteed to them by both constitution and statute, and even the few which have been grudgingly accorded them as a matter of political policy, is a fact frankly conceded by the press and acknowledged by the public. Places of public amusement through the statute and acknowledge that agreed to exclude all of us from their establishments, or certain portions of them, and now in conjunction with hotel and restaurant keepers, are boldly defying the laws of the state which undertake to protect our rights in this respect. A case of grave importance which may determine the attitude of the state in regard to the exclusion of our people from places of public amusement, and bids fair to seriously affect our constitutional rights, has been asserted by the vault vs. the Akron Skating Rink Co., which has just been decided in the Eighth judicial circuit in favor of the Rink Co., after being carried to that court from a justice of the peace. Thomas Lyons was refused admission to the skating rink of the company, by having the window of the ticket seller closed in the face, and being told by the door-keeper that "colored people were not allowed to skate in there," in a situation where it suffered in a justice of the fate usually handed out for the boss-ridden justices. out of the company lawyers, one member of which, Art Rowley, is the Republican political boss of Summit county and a Roosevelt lieutenant. The counsel for the plaintiff were Harrington Simpson, a young Afro-American attorney, and the firm of Grant, Steber & Lathrop. In common pleas the defense was Warnock, who offered the dewl. Roosevelt man, excluded the declaration of the door-keeper that "colored people are not allowed to skate in here," but allowed the defense to introduce any evidence it wished, and made his Rooseveltian policy good by ignoring the merits of the case and giving only such charges to the jury as were asked for by the defendant, thereby deciding the case on a technicality in regard to the door-keeper's recognition of Summit county. In each court, Lyons' counsel stated that they wished the case to be decided on its merits, i.e. the fact that young Lyons had been refused admittance on account of his race and color. As stated before, the circuit court sustained the technicality raised in the common pleas court. Conference to Meet in Dayton. In view of the fact that the new St. John's church, Cleveland, will not be completed in time for the annual conference this fall, the North Ohio conference will meet in Eaker Street A. M. E. church, Dayton, and the same is hereby ordered. W. B. DERRICK, Presiding Bishop. FRESH NEWS CHRONICLED LETTERS FROM MANY OHIO CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS. Washington C.

LYONS, Ex-Register of the U. S. Treasury, Tells Why He Is for Foraker. Washington, D. C. — In a splendid communication to the local Daily Star of May 3 (last Sunday), ex-Register Lyons had the following of prime interest to every loyal Afro-American: "I am for Foraker because he stands, as I understand it, for a Republican form of government and fair play and a real square deal; the right to be heard before sentence and condemnation are passed; not alone for the colored but, for the white, gentle, the white and black and the poor, irrespective of condition or color. Because the lack of these things falls so heavily upon the 12,000,000 of people, worthy, industrious and as true Americans as ever drew the breath of life, with whom I am identified by blood, I have, regardless of personal consequences, cast my lot over the lives of the people to come forth championing the rights of the overlooked and oppressed. "JUDSON W. LYONS. Augusta, Ga." MEXICANS SHOT UP THE TOWN! Senator Bulkeley, in One of the Ablest Speeches of the Session, Says Our Soldiers Are Innocent of the Brownsville Riot. Washington, D. C.—Senator Bulkeley of Connecticut, a member of the committee on military affairs, spoke at length in the senate Monday on the Brownville affray. Mr. Bulkeley declared his belief in the innocence of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment on the night of August 13-14, 1906, in his judgment were lawless Mexicans from outside the town assisted by the lawless class within Brownville. Mr. Bulkeley spoke over four hours, his remarks including a review of all the testimony that has been taken in the case. "For many months," said Mr. Bulkeley in conclusion, "applications for re-enlistment, re-enlistment restoration, have been in the hands of the president or with the war department with the only proof the soldiers could furnish of their innocence—their own affidavits and certificates of good character and faithful service from their officers—but not one has been acted upon. The president has repeatedly called upon the soldiers to re-enlistment to a mind already confirmed in evidence of undoubted guilt—as condition of restoration, and so expressed over and over again. This requirement imposed the additional burden of removing this almost insurmountable bias." Senator Fulton of Oregon stated that he favored Senator Foraker's bill requiring the re-enlistment of the men upon their statement of innocence. Senator Foraker added that his bill had an important feature in its provision that should at any time evidence of the guilt of the men be discovered they would be tried either by the civil or military authorities, and by having them back in the army they could be reported at any time. --- WHEN SEEN BY A HERALD REPORTER AT THE PARKER HOUSE BOOKER WASHINGTON DECEIVED TO DISCUSS FORAKER'S SPEECH IN THE SENATE REGARDING THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR, OR THE SENATOR'S BILL, PROVIDING THAT EACH SOLDIER BE REINSTATED ON TAKING OATH AS TO HIS INNOCENCE. "I NEVER DISCUSS PUBLIC QUESTIONS, REPLIED MR. CAREY, AND I WANT TO FINE MY EFFORTS TO EDUCATIONAL WORK." —Boston Herald, April 17, '08. NEITHER ROOSEVELT NOR TAFT. Afro-American League in Kansas Denounces Both of Them. Topeka, Kans.-The Afro-American Republican league of this state has denounced Roosevelt and Taft in a resolution, which reads, in part, as follows: "Resolved, That we sanction the deliberations of the recent council of Afro-Americans at Philadelphia, who had the moral courage to proclaim to the world their intention to defeat, if possible, either at the Chicago convention or at the polls, any man for president of the United States who represents the policy of Theodore Roosevelt, and further do we sanction the actions of the Afro-Americans at Cherokee and in the South, in order to approve and condemnation of the Roosevelt-Taft policy as regards our people. That we congratulate these men of the race of Oklahoma who have met in state convention and selected fourteen Afro-American delegates to the Chicago convention to contest the 'Ally white' Taft delegates." The resolutions declared for Senator Frankel for president, and denounced Reginald of the Treasury Veronica trying to line up the Afro-American vote of the country for Taft and Roosevelt policies.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker That is an exceptionally strong indictment of the Taft candidacy which ex-Senator W. E. Chandler makes, and it is the truth, too. May 26 is the last day for the filing of contests with the Republican national committee. Our people throughout the south, particularly, should be made familiar with this fact as soon as possible. The few Negroes and alleged race papers that have succumbed to the harmful influence of the Taft subsidy are in such a hopeless minority, as far as Afro-Americans are concerned, that they have to make as much "noise" as possible to secure a little notice. They seem to be absolutely devoid of any sense of shame. Thanks! Good Senator Bulkeley THANKS!! May the good Lord bless you. We are so glad there is at least one Republican U. S. senator who has sufficient courage, as well as convictions in the Brownsville matter, to arise in his seat and say so in a speech that is second only to Senator Foraker's great effort of a few weeks ago. May your kind increase rapidly. The Lyons civil rights case, referred to at length in our Akron letter elsewhere in this paper, is an important one for reasons stated. The "technicalities" which have delayed success in two or three courts are for Mr. Lyons' attorneys to deal with and do not afford ground for the criticism of the state's civil rights law. We feel sure that they will be able to brush away the "technicalities" when the case reaches the state supreme court and win a glorious victory. Counsel Mellen of New York City is right. Soldiers, in times of peace, have a civil contract with our government which the officers in every city and town in the country help to uphold, particularly in the case of deserters (when the men seek to break it). President Roosevelt had no right, either, to break the contract in times of peace, and "discharge without honor" the members of "The Black Battalion," and this, as well as the innocence of our soldiers, will be made perfectly clear to him, at least, before the end of the Brownsville chapter. The Thirteenth congressional district of Ohio has elected two Foraker delegates to the national Republican convention. This makes eight Ohio district delegates for him thus far, and more to come. At this rate the Ohio delegation will be far from a unit for Taft. By and by some few of our exchanges who differed from us several weeks ago when we said Ohio was not for Taft, will begin to see things in a different light and understand what we said at the time relative to the Taft indorsement state primary being a farce because of the insignificantly small vote cast. It showed clearly how little interested and concerned in the subsidized Taft boom were the great mass of Ohio Republicans, and now, from time to time, evidence, unquestionable, to prove the fact, is being produced in the shape of Foraker Ohio district delegate votes to the national Republican convention to be held at Chicago in June. TAFT'S OWN WORDS. The Negro traitors and pau-cuckers who are trying to hang on to Taff, as few as be this kind of cattle, are unable altogether to answer the accusation of the loyals that this rotund second fiddler has not only palliated and excused, defended and advocated the damnable distrubising laws of the South, but confessed, that he would do nothing towards their wiping off; nor towards affording the relief so much desired and as equally deserved by the outraged Republicans of the south, disfranchised by an infamous and a petted Democracy, which, in effect, in the south at least, is an offensive aristocracy seeking to perpetrate itself on the color of the attests, spends double and likewise worth as they are, and in neither are they more gifted than they are in the slimy ways of hypocrisy, have not answered, because there is no answer. Their man, his ways and his words, has forever sealed the excusing lips of the cohort and the heeler. The New York Evening Post, discussing the Roosevelt claim that Taft will carry the south in the next national convention, is inclined to doubt the probability of that calamity. Why should he carry a single southern state? Indeed, why should not each of the states be unalterable, and, if needs be has he merely opened to the Has he not condoned the measures which took away the franchise from the Republican party at the south? And can this element of the party at the south forget or for the moment overlook the dignity Mr. Taft has willingly, and studiously lent these outrages? What has the Republican party at the south to hope for if Mr. Taft should by this way or that, arrive at the white house? They could hope for they could expect nothing! The Evening Post observes on its own account: "Mr. Taft has said that he will do nothing against the confessed wrong and illegality of the discriminating Republican voters at the south!" And so he has. Then how can he expect the south to support him in the national convention? How could the south honorably support him? The south can not honorably support him. The south will not support him. The south will not support him. B. Foraker, if you care to. Did he ever condone or excuse southern disfranchising laws? Ah! has he not in season and out, since their passage, denounced them, and boldly and adequately described those who perpetrated them upon the south and upon the republic? The whole nation can answer. Answering, let the bellies of the traitors turn, and the dogs seek their nuke. The writer has been told that it is unwise to decry Mr. Taft. Most men who have in the past decried and denounced infamy cloaked in purple and diplomed with the sheepskin of poisoned cattle, and compliment paid them. Our duty is plainly marked out. We shall as plainly follow its ends, nor wavering, nor wearying in the task. The Negro race is on trial. If the Negro race supports Taft; if the Nero race supports Taft; if the Negro meets it on the morrow, and the historian properly describes its ingratiude and its assinity. Win or lose, live or die; denounced or acclaimed, robed or naked, we advocate Joseph B. Foraker over William H. Taft. The other places in reason and patriotism the other ways?—N. Y. National Review. Our confrence of the Review has not put it a bit too strong. The evidence of graft (the Taft subsidy) is too apparent to account in any other way for the change of the few Negro men and newspapers to the support of the Taft candidacy. They are, however, so very few in number when the great mass of loyal Afro-Americans are considered that our only wonder is that even a few members of the race have brazen-faced effrontery to openly espouse the Taft-Roosevelt cause. The distranchisement—"Jim Crow" car record of these two men, to say nothing of their insulting special message to congress in the winter of 1900-7 anent the Brownville "Affray" and their subsequent persecution of our soldiers of "The Black Battalion," is quite enough for any honest and loyal Afro-American. No wonder those of the south have struggled so faithfully, bravely and, too, so successfully in recent weeks to keep from the Taft candidacy hundreds of votes in that section. Their brethren of the north are with them heart and soul, and will be heard from equally as effectively this fall at the polls should it be necessary. The present indications are, thank the Lord, that it will not be necessary, as the Taft boom has been on the wane so in recent weeks, that there is now little likelihood of his nomination. The outlook for the triumphant nomination of Senator Foraker grows brighter with each succeeding week, and that (his nomination) will insure Republican victory this fall. The Review and Post are right, the south will not give Taft its vote, and he will not be nominated. The Republicans do not wish to be led to certain defeat. It is the usual victory we all want and Senator Foraker is the MAN of all Republicans to lead the party to it. HAVE SOLDIERS CIVIL CONTRACT Attorney in Brownsville Case Raises Rather Startling Legal Point— Claims President Had No Right to Dismiss Troops. New York City.—For more than three hours Monday evening Judge Hough, in the United States district court, listened to arguments which involved a question of the right of President Roosevelt to summarily dismiss the three companies of soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry for alleged participation in the Brownville riot. The argument was on a demurrier interposed to a portion of the answer of the government in the action commenced on October 26, 1918, with $122, which sum represented his wages as a soldier from the date of his dismissal without honor and the date of the expiration of his enlistment. The suit was commenced in the federal court in this district. Counsel Mellen contended that the enlisted men were protected by constitutional rights which the president had not the power to ignore, even as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, the enlistment operating really from a legal viewpoint as a civil contract between the two sides. The real power of removal, the attorney contended, was vested in the congress, which controlled the army and navy, the president, as commander-in-chief, possessing in times of peace only the application of the congressional act. Judge Hough is to render a decision at the end of this week. Bradford, Pa., Brevities. Mrs. M. J. Douglass, R. M. Brown and L. Jones were nominated deaconsesses by Rev. Bowser—Mrs. L.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1908. Says T. P. Mahammitt is Merely Self-Constituted as Such—A Hard Blow for Taft. Omaha, Neb.-John Grant Pegg, president of the Lincoln club, one of our leading organizations, takes strong exceptions to what he styles the self-appointed leadership of T. P. Mahammitt, editor of the Enterprise. Mahammitt recently was summoned to Washington, D.C. by W. T. Vernon, registrar of the treasury. With two other Negro editors of Kansas and Colorado, Mahammitt was entertained at Mr. Vernon's home. During Secretary Taft's recent visit to Omaha, he asked our citizens in the reception line for Mahammitt. The secretary of war was told in the presence of several reporters that Mahammitt would be seen during the evening as one of the waiters at the banquet in the Auditorium, which was the case. Mr. Pegg's statement follows: "A sentiment among the Negro citizens that Mr. Mahammitt does not represent them politically, has been growing stronger. We have every regard for Mr. Vernon, one of the promiscuous men in the city, we believe that if Mr. Vernon would get votes for Mr. Taft it would stand him in stead to come out here himself rather than send for Mr. Mahammitt. What sticks in the craw more than anything else, is the fact that prevailed in the 1920s in Washington he opposed. Mr. Taft in his paper. Now he is strong in his support of Mr. Taft." They Stopped the Lynching! Detroit, Mich.—Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Hampton received recently from Kentucky, and report an incident that occurred during their visit there of much interest to all. A Negro and a white man became involved in an ordinary altercation in which the former came out best. The latter then obtained a gun and attempted to kill the former, whom the latter grappled his antagonist, took the gun away from him and in the metee the white man was mortally wounded. The Afro-American was arrested and taken to jail and the usual mob of white brutes proceeded to organize a lynching bee. Our people there, anticipating this move, also organized a rifles, of which each family has one, themselves on the road to the jail where the prisoner was held. When the mob appeared about 1 o'clock in the morning they opened fire, with the result that six were killed and the mob dispersed. It was given out the next day that the prisoner would be released, and the man was still awaiting his trial when Mr. and Mrs. Hampton left Kentucky for home. What Will Roosevelt Do? The two battalions of the Twenty-fourth infantry, stationed at Sackettis Harbor, have declared a boycott against certain merchants of Watertown, where they have done most of their trading. They announce that the boycott will be maintained until they have done more civily. In view of his self known sentiments on the subject of the boycott the question naturally arises. What will President Roosevelt do about this? Will he, with his usual humility, dismiss the boycott of disgrace, will he berate that an important election is coming on?—Rochester (N. Y.)

C.-Thomas McCreary (white), the New York turfman who was recently accidentally shot by Congressman "Tuskegee" Tom Hefflin of Alabama, has so far recovered that he has left the hospital. A conference was held between Hefflin, McCreary and the latter's attorney and Hefflin offered to recompense McCreary for all expenses and losses incident to the shooting. The amount (62,500) was satisfactory. Hefflin is being sued by the Afro-American he abused and will not get off so easy in this case. "The Erie's Wife!" One day Mr. Kamerer, chief clerk to General Superintendent Dunkle of the Erie railroad, was asked why he always answered, when called to the telephone, "This is the Erie," and he answered: "Just because it saves answering a lot of other questions. It gets people right to their point." One day when Kamerer put in a call to Mrs. Kamerer, she called him through the Erie's exchange. He answered as usual, "This is the Erie." Mrs. Kamerer came back, "Well, this is the Erie's wife, what is it you want?" The Famous Alton School Case Won! The Famous Alton School Case Won! Springfield, Ill.-For the sixth time the supreme court in the celebrated Alton schol case has reversed the finding of the Madison county circuit court and remanded the case with in- terrogation.

THIRTY WARSHIPS IN PARADE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC FLEETS MEET IN FRISCO HARBOR. Grandest Naval Pageant Ever Displayed in American Waters Witnessed by a Multitude. San Francisco, Cal.—Through the rocky portals of the Golden Gate into the harbor of a city of a hundred hills, into a new San Francisco, risen from the ruins of two years ago, the Atlantic battleship fleet on Wednesday steamed in review of a multitude unnumbered. It was the same imposing pageant of immaculate white ships that sailed from Hampton Roads nearly five months ago, but with the splendid accomplishment of a record-breaking cruise of more than 14,000 miles and three weeks of wonderful target work behind it. The flag of the secretary of the navy, flying from the mainmast of the gunboat Yorktown, fluttered the welcome of the navy, while the governor of California, the mayor of San Francisco and the people of a hundred towns voiced the greetings of the enthusiastic west. San Francisco, Oakland and other cities took a holiday to welcome the fleet. There was a complete cessation of business and the streets in the downtown section were absolutely deserted. A welcome sign spelled in letters 50 feet high topped the heights of Telegraph Hill. The sun, which all morning had been obscured by heavy gray clouds, broke through just as the ships were passing through the Golden Gate and shone with nooday brilliancy on the pageantry of fighting craft. The fleet threaded its way through the crowded harbor, past the islands and ferry lanes and, reaching far out to the Oakland shore, turned at last when opposite Hunter's Point and pointing back toward the Golden Gate to face the incoming tide, steamed into anchorage formation. The battleships, having the right of line, were first to let their anchors go. The 16 veterans of the Atlantic cruise, augmented by two battleships recruited here for the remainder of the trip around the world—the Nebraska and Wisconsin—occupy the two inside lines nearest the Oakland shore, while the six little destroyers of both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets are berthed close in toward the San Francisco water front. FOUND FOUR MORE CORPSES. Additional Evidence of Murders Is Discovered on the Guinness Farm Near Laporte, Ind. Laporte, Ind. — A possible solution of the Guinness farm mystery, which was deepened Wednesday when four additional bodies were found in the barnyard, developed last evening. Evidence tending to show that the nine dismembered bodies unearthed Tuesday and Wednesday had been shipped to Laporte, probably from Chicago, came to light. Testimony of draymen who had carted trunks and boxes to the Guinness home lent color to this supposition. Laporte police also received information that two trunks, consigned to "Mrs. Beille Guinness, Laporte, Ind.," are held in an express office in Chicago. Assistance of the Chicago police in unraveling the puzzle was sought at once. Two of the nine mutilated bodies were identified Wednesday with reasonable certainty. Ante Olson of Chicago viewed the body supposed to be that of Jennie Olson, the 16-year-old foster daughter of Mrs. Gulnness, and pronounced it to be that of his daughter. A sister of the girl, Mrs. Lee Olander of Chicago, confirmed the father's identification. Ask K. Helgelein, whose inquiries regarding his missing brother, Andrew, led to the first discoveries on the death-hunted farm, became sure Wednesday that the largest and best preserved of the corpse is that of his brother. Against this identification, however, is the result of the autopsy performed on this body by Dr. J. H. Meyer. He found conditions which to his mind proved that the man perished long after Andrew Helgelein disappeared last January, Dr. Meyer said that the corpse showed signs of having been in the ground less than two weeks. Ask Helgelein, however, refused to be convinced by these findings, and his certainty led the coroner to accept his identification for the present. Roy Lamphere, who is held on a charge of first degree murder as a result of the fire that destroyed the Guinness home and caused the death of Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three children, gave no new evidence, despite repeated questionings. Ralph W. Smith, prosecuting attorney, last night asserted that a confession is not necessary so far as Lamphere is concerned. "We have evidence in the shape of letters connecting Lamphere with alleged murders at the Guinness farm," he said. An Illinois Town Is Flooded.

The Brownsville "Affray" Illustrated COLOPED SHOULDERS MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPE TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emoument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved with result deemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embrogio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumph against the combined armies of armed prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servil bonds and door to death the glorious burden of the war, the stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the gained Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, relection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal and economic life he leaves behind in the aftermath of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regards and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compels us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt, not that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1966, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville hot publicity branded them as outlaws, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904. Indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal of the warrants over victorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we all upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race.

WOLD BY LEADING DRUCGISTS-50Ot p»- BOTTLE AT LAPORTE, IND. FIVE CORPSES ARE DUG UP NEAR WRECKED HOME OF MRS. BELLE GUNNESS. THREE ARE UNIDENTIFIED, One Body Is Believed to Be that of a Girl Reared by Mrs. Gunness, the Other 2 Man Who Lent Mon- ey to the Latter. Laporte, Ind.—One of the most grewsome murder mysteries ever ‘unearthed in this section of the country came to light Tuesday when the boilies of five persons, all of them murdered, were found in the yard of the home of Mrs, Belle Gunness, who with three of her children was burned to death on the night of April 28. So far, only two of the bodies have been identified. These are Andrew Heldgren, who came to this city from Mansfield, S. D., for the purpose of marrying Mrs. Gunness, whose ac- qQuaintance he had made through a matrimonial bureau, © The other ts that of Jennie Olsen Gunness, a Chi- cago girl who bad been adopted by Mrs. Gunness. She disappeared in September, 1906, and it was said had gone to Los Angeles to attend school. The other bodles were those of two children and a man, They have not as yet been identified. The body of Heldgren was dismembered and the farms, legs, trunk and head were buried in different parts of the yard It is believed by the authorities that Guy Lamphere, who has been ander arrest since the burning of the Gunnegs house on the charge of mur- dering Mrs, Gunness and her family, committed the Heldgren erime, Lam. phero is a carpenter and the manner In which the body of Heldgren was dismembered Jeads to the bellet that it. was done by somebody familiar with the use of a saw. Heldgren had loaned $1,500 to Mrs. Gunness and he had another $1,500 in his possession just prior to his death. It is considered probable that he was killed by Mrs. Gunness or Lamphere, or by both of them, in or- der to procure the cash he had and to avold the necessity of repaying the loan he had made. | Lamphere, against whom a strong case of circumstantial evillence ex- ists in connection with the burning of the Gunness home and the death of ‘Mrs. Gunness and her thred children, denies all knowledge of the bodies found Tuesday. He has 4aid, how. fever, on other occasions that Mrs. Gunness was anxious to send him to an insane asylum because of his knowledge of her career, It was cur rent gossip that Larephere was in- sanely jealous of Mrs, Gunness and of Heldgren and it is well known that the woman stood greatly in fear of him and had asked for police protec- tion. = = ‘The search by which the bodies were found was instigated by John Heldgren, the brother of Andrew, who has always believed that his brother was murdered and that he had never gone to Norway, as claimed by Mrs. Gunness and Lamphere. He noticed some recently upturned earth in the yard and suggested to Sheriff Smutz- er that an excavation be made to see {t his brother's body could not be found. It was dug up after a brief search, No identification of the other bodies found in the yard is expected for some time, It is considered prob- able that they are those of persons murdered with the knowledge of ‘Mrs. Gunness for the purpose of se- curing money. While questioning Joseph. Maxson, a hired hand on the Gunness farm, John Heldgren learned of the mys- terlous digging of holes by bim, all of them being filled at a later date by Mrs. Gunness, The remains were only four feet underground and were tclosed in a gunny sack. The dis- covery of the bodies led expressmen to tell of the delivery of five trunks to the Gunness farm during the last six months and this fact has caused the authorities to work on the the- ‘ory that the place was a clearing house for murderers. They suspect that wealthy persons, after being tured to Chicago and killed, were packed in those trunks and sent to Laporte and disposed of. The developments Tuesday also caused the authorities, to recall that the two husbands of Mrs. Gunness died under suspicious circumstances, both meeting yiolent deaths. The first, Max Sorenson, was insured for $8,500 and the second, Gunness, for $3,500. This insurance was paid to ‘Mrs, Gunness by the companies. In all probability Lamphere will be taken from the county jail to the pris- on at Michigan City. This 1s to in. ‘sure his safe custody, as threats of Jynching have been made.
