TWENTY-SEVEN TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 38. Paris Modes 6 14 THE gown at the left, designed for the French races, is of salmon colored tussah silk. The skirt is made with a deep yoke, to which the plaited lower part, or flounce, is attached with a piping of black silk. The corsage is trimmed with bands of the material ornamented with buttons of the same and edged with the black silk, leaving a squere opening. FANCIES OF FASHION Many of the hats have velvet facings. Long-waisted effects appear in the new lingerie. Flowers of different kinds and colors are seen together. Foulard is coming in for something of its old-time popularity. Linings must be as soft as they can be made, and as clinging. Black and black and white both promise to be fashionable veiling colors. Marquisettes, linen, homespuns, all now appear in checks, both gun-club and shepherd. An odd fancy of the moment is the use on dressy toilettes of belts of varnished leather. The soft serges and cashmeres are used to build traveling costumes for the warm spring days. Nets are again much liked for transparent undersleeves and gulps purposes in the summer frocks. Billows of fluffy materials and cobwebby laces enhance nearly every lingerie-frock now being shown. EMBROIDERY SHOWN ON BELT All Sorts of Ornamentation Proper According to the Styles of the Season. A new touch in embroidered beating is the use of jet beads and colored or crystal bugles in connection with an embroidery design. A spray of pink white roses worked on white moire belting had as a center for each flower a jet cabuchon. A daly design worked in white on pale blue belting had yellow bugles for the center and the stems were made of green bugle beads. The close French knot used to cover stamping, as in coral embroidery, is a quick and popular way to embroider belts. Such a treatment may have satin stitch center with head stems, or a mock sowel is used for the center, the stems outlined or worked in marrow over and over stitch. Such belting will not wash, but it may be cleaned with cornmeal and gasoline mixed to a thick paste. They are charming, coquettish little things. The set comprises mob cap, sleeve protectors and an apron. protectors and an apron. The other handkerchief is used for the cuffs and for a pocket on the apron. The whole set is made of three men's handkerchiefs, white, with a fancy border in color. The apron is made of another handkerchief held diagonally and gathered in at the waist toward the top, the extra point above being used as a bib. One handkerchief gathered up for the cap, by stitching around it in a large circle which almost touches the sides and leaves the four points, and drawing the thread up until the cap takes shape, and a most bowitching shape it is. Dusting Sets THE GAZETTE 1 correspond and the yoke and under- sleeves are of black tucked tulle and white lace. The casino gown at the right is of black mousselline chiffon and black lace. It is composed of tucked bands of the chiffon and bands of lace, and ornamented with jet buttons and straps of cord or soutache. The yoke and sleeve ruffles are of white lace, the girdle is of blue silk. SIMPLE LINES TO RETURN Parisian Authority Is Responsible for News That Will Be Gladly Welcomed. In Mme. Carlier's atelier in the Rue de la Prix there are evolved wonderful ideas, in millinery, ideas for which enormous sums are paid by women, or their husbands, from all parts of the world. The practical American will greet with joy the news that this great arbiter of our millinery destiny sounds the note of simplicity of lines, which can be copied at home. The small hat is the one most favored by Mme. Carlier. One round toque of Nattler blue velvet has a tiny bordering of black. A square bow is the only ornament, but placed at the front with its loops spreading out on each side. One of a large number of motor hats is of gathered silk. Around the quaint brim is velvet-bordered ribbon that is gathered and placed in a double quilting to form shells. Over the whole a vell is arranged, caught at each side by a jeweled clasp. The little dress is in soft cloth, and made up in rather a novel sailor style; the skirt is gathered in at the waist and turned up with a deep hem at the foot. The loose blouse is pretty trimmed round the opening at top by material tabs of different sizes; a ribbon is taken under the tabs and tied in a sailor's knot in front. Materials required: 4 yards 46 inches wide, 1½ yards ribbon. Lavender and white, pink and white and blue and white are the colors to be had, although the set may be made at home, choosing any sort of handkerchief one wishes.

DOINGS OF THE RAGE There are only three Afro-American census enumerators in Chicago. Dr. Frank C. Cafrey of Montgomery, Ala., has signed a contract to act as medical expert in Jack Johnson's camp. He will receive $150 a week and be furnished transportation to and from Oakland, Cal. The Maryland Legislature adjourned after enacting the infamous law distranchising the Afro-American voters of that state in city, county and state elections. President Tait greatly pleased the director of the census says only two Afro-American enumerators will be appointed in the south where seven million of our people live. There are only 199 Afro-American clerks and other employees in the census office at Washington, D. C. Not half are entitled to. The first funeral of an Mio-American in a "white" church in Denver, Boulder, occurred on the 26th upl. for Miss Bernice Hinsby, a 50-year-old school teacher, who lived at Frederica, Bov. T. P. Waldron of Holy Cross Catholic Church, had charge of the services, the internment being made in Holy Cross cemetery. The finding of the court on the alleged shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, whose grand jury declared not one of the Negro soldiers was indictable, has found that not one is guilty, and yet it finds not one is innocent. What a queer finding. It is damned if you did, and damned if you didn't, c. 17 Martinsburg (W. Va.) Premier Press. George W. Scott, a junior student at Columbia University, Brooklyn, N. Y., provided the sensational oration of the opening on a recent Friday at the ceremonial contest for juniors and seniors. Mr. Scott said, "We Negro Fitted for Full Citizenship" hold the enthusiasm of his audience until the end, though he was the last speaker, and won second prize. Richard C. Bundy of Cincinnati has been appointed secretary of the legation at Monroe, Liberia, Africa, and will accept the place. The salary is $2,500. He aspired to the consular service in which he won a place in civil service examinations only to be refused appointment by President Taft. Hon. Ernest Lyons is U.S. Minister to Liberia and Lieut. B. O. Davis, military attaché. Because they openly admitted their love for each other, Horace White of Springfield, IL, was whipped by the Memphis police last week and put aboard an eastbound train, and Eva Bishop, "white" was put on the first train north, to go to her 'home' in Grand Rapids, Mich. White was steward at the Arlington Hotel where Miss Bishop was cashier. It was there they fell in love. Miss Bishop admitted her love for Mr. White, and said he had been kind to her ever since she came south. She did not know that it was unfulfilled for "whites" and Afro-Americans to marry in Tennessee, but said, nevertheless, that it was her intention to marry White just the same. James H. Brown, the aged janitor for the Hastings family, Denver, Colo. to whom S. Hugh Hastings turned over one million dollars worth of property during the panicked days of 1883, in order to avoid any losses by reason of financial depression, did not know until the estate was for sale to Jane that it was in his name. Hastings asked him to sign some documents, for the aged Afro-Americans was not aware that these documents made him owner of a block near the corner of Fifth and Market stress, as well as a whole block in the Hastings College Place addition to Denny. It was an old family servant and the occupation was to use him as a shield without his knowledge. The Afro-American common law lawyer of Lord Delaval Beresford, an Englishman living in Mexico, who was a million dollar estate, has received about 100,000 in money and about 100,000 ares of land, equivalent to more than 500,000 in settlement of her claims on his estate. She has about 200,000 acres under cultivation, and personally directs the care of this property, with a large number of Mexican laborers. She was permitted to retain about 1,000 ares of cattle, which she claimed as personal property, after the death of Lord Beresford, who was killed in conflict with another widow. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, was the head of the British navy for years, until retired recently. Protesting against an attempt in some southern states again to reduce the Negro to slavery, Charles J. Bonaparte, former U. S. attorney general, has idol a brief in the U. S. supreme court in behalf of "Pink" Franklin of South Carolina under sentence to be hanged on a charge of murder. Franklin was under an "agricultural contract" to work for J. D. Thomas, in Orangeburg county, S. C. in 1907. He quit before the contract obligation was completed. A statute had been passed in that state making if a mischief meaner for a laborer to break such a contract if he had become indebted to his employer. On the ground that Franklin had violated the statute, a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. The constable, H. E. Valentine, in attempting to arrest him entered the lathers' house and was killed. Franklin was convicted of murder. Another outrage! IN MEMORY Of our Dear Leroy Douglass, who de parted this life. April 17, 1909—By his mother and sister, Clara.

The three shootings took place in different but not distant parts of the district and all, within three hours. First, a member of the four brothers Tong was shot three times in front of five Mott street. Then one of the On Loongs was killed instantly by two bullets fired at Park Row. The third met death as he sat at the fantan table in new gambling house in Doyers street. Seventy-five Buildings Burned. Harrisburg, Pa. The business section of Middletown, about nine miles from this city, and an important manufacturing town of about 10,000 people was swept by fire, about 75 buildings being burned with a loss of about $400,000. Among the destroyed buildings are the Auditorium, Y. M. C. A. market house, Odd Fellows' building and a few large stores and residences. Many of the occupants of small stores lost everything, they must hold in a large spring and summer stock and nothing was saved. Kentucky now has a law legalizing slave marriages. It was recently enacted by the legislature and signed by Gov. Wilson. The law legalizes the marriage of slaves who were living together to 1866 and holds children by such marriages as legitimate. IN DUISSE SINCE 1830 "BLACK BATTALION" BLAMED BY COURT! THE "BROWNSVILLE" MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY "FINDS" OUR INNOCENT SOL- DIERS "GUILTY" OF A "CRIME" NEVER COMMITTED The Question Now Is Were the Members of the Court-Acting Under Orders from President Taft and His Ex- Rebel and Democratic Secretary of War, "Jake" Dickinson of Tennessee? Washington, D. C.—The military court of inquiry, which during the last year has been investigating the shooting up of Brownsville, Tex., "finds" that the evidence sustains (2) the charge that the shooting was done by soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry. As to the charges made by the mayor and citizens of Brownsville, Tex., the court is of opinion that— 1. The soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, stationed at Fort. Brown, Tex., did on the night of August 13-14, two shoes, into houses of the town of Brownsville, Tex., occupied by men, women and children; killing Frank Matus, a citizen of that town; seriously wounding the lieutenant of police, M. Y. Dominquez, and killing the horse under him. The court is unanimous in its opinion that the evidence sustains the charges. 2. As to the disciplinary aspect of their case, including the performance of duty by officers and enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth infantry on that night, as measured by the standard in the army, the court is of the opinion that if the officers, non-commissioned officers and privates had performed their respective duties on the evening of August 13, immediately prior to the shooting affray, with appreciation of the obligations and responsibilities devolving upon them by the serious situation then confronting them, the shooting affray could not have occurred. Also if immediately after the shooting, when the men had been charged with the crime, a careful inspection of every man in the garrison, including his arms, equipment and ammunition, had been made, as was attempted at daylight, several hours afterward, some of the guilty men would have been discovered. 3. As to the eligibility to reconstitute, a majority of the court finds favorably as to the qualifications of the following men: Co. B. Twenty-fifth infantry, Jones A. Coltrane, Edward L. Daniels, Edward Warfield; Co. C. Twenty-fifth infantry, Lewis J. Baker, Clifford L. Adair, Henry W. Arvin, Calvin Smith, John Smith; Co. D. Twenty-fifth infantry, Robert Williams, Winter Washington, Elias Gant, John A. Jackson, Samuel E. Scott and William Van Hook. Brigadier General Theodore Schwan does not concur in the second conclusion. Lout. Gen. Samuel B. Young and Major General M. Panger do not concur in the third conclusion. Senator adjourned sine April 6 at 12 o'clock (noon). According to the terms of the act creating the board, of inquiry its findings are final and cannot be reviewed by anyone. Senator Foraker's Statement. Ex-Senator J. B. Foraker, who was at his home in Cincinnati at breakfast with his family, received a telegram from Washington, D. C. In a statement to the press, he said: "I am not surprised by the report the court of inquiry now makes because I have anticipated such a result since the court assumed powers that it was not intended to confer by those who enacted the statute under which they have acted." The senator said that the court did not sit to hear charges and testimony for and against the soldiers and soldiers who provided but not conducted wholesale investigation on its own account, with a view to establishing the guilt of some of the soldiers. Continuing, he said: "Such a report is a greater disgrace to the American army than anything charged against this battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry." A. Prize: Winner Dead Washington C. H., O.—Dora Winfield, aged 15, of Bloomsburg, a graduate of the High School there, and a student of Oberlin College when she fell last fall, died recently.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., April 16, 1910. 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. Representative Henry T. Eubanks' bill affecting Sheriffs who fail to do their full duty in the case of mob demonstrations, has been enacted into law by the State Assembly. It is expected to be an effective one, and we sincerely trust that it will prove so. This is one thing Mr. Eubanks deserves credit for. The U. S. Supreme Court long ago decided that voting in city, county and state elections was a privilege, not a right, which the state could take from any of its citizens, at will. Notwithstanding this, our people of Maryland should do everything in their power to wipe out that state's outrageous disfranchisement law recently enacted. Under President Taft our people will receive less than half the appointments in the census office at Washington, D. C., and less than one third the number of enumerators in the south we ought to have, are entitled to, and have had in years gone by. In the north, practically nothing will be given our people under the Census Bureau in Washington, or as enumerators in the various states. We do not believe any apology is necessary for giving so very much of our editorial space, this week, to a republication of the editorial from Washington in Politics, from Washington in Politics. It is one of the fairest and very best ever published in any of the daily papers of the country. As our readers doubtless know The New York Evening Post is one of the few leading papers in this country that are still friendly to the race. Our next issue will contain a Du-Bols-Washington symposium. Col. H. A. Rucker has been removed from the office of Collector of Internal Revenue, at Atlanta, Georgia, and a "white" man, one H. S. Jackson, given the place. President Taft now has turned out of federal office every Afro-American in that state and almost the entire south. Our voters are largely in the majority in Georgia and elsewhere in the south, so of the people nothing to Taff, but those of us in the north will make it mean much to him in 1912 if he has the nerve to run for the Presidency again. --- OUR 153 "DREYFUSES." Speaking of the recent shameful decision of the "Brownville" military court of inquiry, an exchange says: "President Roosevelt was wrong; Congress was wrong; the Secretary of War (Taft) was wrong, and the Court of Inquiry was wrong when they accused the United States in American jurisprudence—an accused person to prove his innocence." And absolutely refused to hear a single witness in behalf of the accused and innocent soldiers! Then, too, the inquiry court was far from being unanimous in the recent, verdict, and the members are veteran officers, long familiarized by actual service, with troops in the field, camp and garrison. The Boston Transcript on the case of the east and pro-Taft publication, speaks satirically of the investigations by the Cameron county, Texas, grand jury, by the Texas state authorities, by two courts martial, by the U. S. senate committee, by an amateur detective agency, and finally by this special court of inquiry. Then it concludes thus: "It will be noted that the special court does not wholly indorse President Roosevelt's course, nor wholly disapprove it, for it recommends the restoration of fourteen soldiers of the Army to the same order of discharge without honor." Auent another phase of this matter, the Odd Fellows' Journal of Philadelphia, says: "Attorney Marshall, who represented the soldiers, did perfectly right in refusing to make any argument before the court. There was no way by which the colored men could prove directly that they were innocent, but they did prove it indirectly by showing that some one else did it. Attorney Marshall offered to produce evidence to show that there was a conspiracy against the soldiers, who participated in the conspiracy, who shot up the town, and all the circumstances surrounding the attack. The court would not want wasted time for any soldiers wanted was for some of our soldiers to brand others as midnight assassins, and because none would do this none were fit for re-enlistment. "The colored people have not the money that the Jews of France had with which to keep up the agitation and security of the people, and have right and God on their side. While these poor soldiers will perhaps never receive justice at the hands of the government which they have served, history will vindicate them, and those who are wronged by the government, the estimated posterity. Senator Foraker's clairvion voice no longer rings throughout the balls of congress and we may expect to have no champion there to attenuate the last disgrace as it deserves to. Roosevelt is NOT vindicated, nor is his weak and vacillating secretary of THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1910. war, President Taft, absolved, as a result of the inquiry court's outrageous "decision." Just so sure as God is might and right, the inst of this "Brownsville" matter has not been heard in spite of the effort that will now be made "to lock the doors and throw away the keys." MR. WASHINGTON IN POLITICS The old issue as to what attitude the colored people should take towards their political disabilities is recalled anew by a recent speech in this city of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois of Atlanta University and a letter from him to the Boston Transcript. Few people are yet aware, we believe, of the extent of the cleavage between him and his followers and those Negroes led by Booker T. Washington, or of the bitterness that has developed. Dr. DuBois's attitude is one of resentment toward wrong, of steadfast opposition to disfranchisement, and of the withdrawal of civil and political rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. He believes that agitation and protest are necessary not only to recover lost ground, but to prevent the loss of more. He will not sit silent in the presence of wrong. He will not refrain from denouncing oppression any more than the German Poles will refrain from opposing, their suppression over lords, or Russians of the type Nicholas Teshkovsky will abandon their advocacy of freedom in Russia. With this attitude the Event Post has frequently sympathized. It considers no man to wear a padlock when his rights are a citizen are endangered. Dr. Washington, on the other hand, describes everything else to the uplifting of the Negro industrially and economically. His success at Tuskegee needs no affirmation. North or South. His inestimable usefulness as an interpreter of one race to the other in the South we dwelt upon at length after his recent extraordinary trip through Tennessee. To be industrious, sober, honest, and to acquire property, this is his doctrine for the colored man. He lets discussion of political rights severely alone—an attitude which is justified by most people as the right one for the head of an institution located in the South in the midst of deep racial prejudices. There is much to be said for all college heads keeping bravely aloof from political entanglements. Dr. Washington counsels his people to submit to disfranchisement. Hence he is welcome in the South wherever he goes. He arouses no prejudices; his industry is strong; he controls the controlling Southern opinion that the gro should aspire to be nothing more than a heaver-of-wood and a drawer-of-water, and so he reaches the ears and broadens the minds and softens the hearts of thousands who would not listen to a word from Dr. DuBois. Moreover, Dr. Washington is heartily supported in the North by all conservatives—those who believe that the South should be allowed to work out the problem unmolested by criticism or agitation, and are convinced that time will heal all present sores and wounds. Now, as we have intimated, this is a defensible attitude for the principal of a school to take. It commits itself particularly to those who believe in compromises for the sake of peace and living pleasantly with their neighbors. If Dr. Washington were to keep silent altogether and immerse himself exclusively in his work at Tuskegee, no colored man would, we think, object to his silence. It is his advice to his people to submit to government and taxation without representation that has hurt, and the fact that he has at the same time assumed or been forced into the place of political boss of his race. The two positions are hopelessly inconsistent. As Dr. DuBois puts it in his letter to the Transcript: "Mr. Washington has for the last eight years allowed himself to be made the sole referee for all political action concerning 10,000,000 Americans. Few appointments of Negroes to office have been made without his consent, and others' political 'policies have been deferred to him. Now, if Mr. Washington was consulted solely because of his knowledge of men and wide acquaintanceship, there would be less ground of criticism. But, whatever the purpose, it has been inevitable that only those Negroes should be pit in political control of black men who agree with Mr. Washington's pledge, non-resistance," giving up of agitation, and acquiescence in semi-sedition." And he properly asserts his right as a free man to protest against the establishment of any political boss of a section of the population, white or black, Christian or Jew, Italian or German. There is high authority for Dr.杜Bols's position. The late Carl Schurz once warned Mr. Washington that if he heard of the head of Tuskegee, going into politics he would know that the waning of Mr. Washington's influence had begun. But the White House has insisted on making use of Dr. Washington's rare knowledge of Southern conditions. It is hard, if not impossible, to resist requests for advice or counsel from tiffs source. Dr. Washington naturally has the deepest interest in seeing that fit colored men only are appointed to office. Could he refuse to answer if Mr. Roosevelt asked him whether John Smith or Thomas Brown would represent his race better in an internal revenue office or as an assistant United States District Attorney? If we are correctly informed, the reason for Dr. Washington's withdrawal from the Liberian Commission to which Mr. Roosevelt appointed him a year ago was Mr. Taft's insistence that he stay within reach. At least, this was current gossip in Washington at the time, and instead, Mr. Washington's secretary went to Liberia. Moreover, Mr. Washington is such a national figure that everyone turns to him for advice on matters relating to the colored people. It is not as if there were three or four men of equal rank in the public estimation. In other words, we have here the usual conflict between the uncompromising and those who believe in progress one step at a time, with the least friction possible. Time will fight on the Negro's side, in any event, and the accumulation of wealth and the possession of land, together with the increased national respect which follows material success—all these will lend power to the Negro, when the time comes for the issue of political equality to be joined by all concerned. We are frank to say that if we were of the colored race we should feel that that time had come now; that every moment's failure to protest by those who can against present discriminations means the tightening of chains that must some day be broken if this is to be a republic in more than name. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty for the Negro as well as for the white man, and Dr. DuBois is merely living up to the highest traditions of American life when he fighters for the rights of his own people to a voice in their government. We must say frankly, too, that we wish tomorrow might be the day that will free Dr. Washington from his embarrassing position as political dictator. Then he would begin to win back in some measure the regard of the most intellectual portion of the colored people, of which he is now largely deprived: New York Evening Post.

DAGGETT'S GREAT PLEA AND ATTORNEY MARSHALL'S. MANLY STAND. Before The "Military Court of Review"—Recorder Howland Biased and Prejudiced—Ex-Rebel "Jake" Dickinson's Instructions, Improper—Only One Side Presented—Marshall's Objectives To Court Good! Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.—The Brownsville case now rests with the military court of review appointed to determine whether Roosevelt's and Taft's victims, the discharged men are entitled to rehabilitate. The evidence against them is strong, he heard, last Wednesday Capt. Charles R. Howland, recorder of the court, denounced as false Senator Foraker's statement that all the members of the accused battalion had answered to the request for a forty-two men, he said, failed to respond to their names when the roll was called eight minutes after the shooting. He declared further that the ammunition used in shooting up the building was not the same as the signment sent to the retiment in 1905. The fact that this was the only ammunition used by the U. S. infantry at that time containing antimony, was regarded by Capt. Howland as being the shots were fired by the soldiers. Our Soldiers' Defense. Brig. Gen. A. S. Daggett, U. S. A., retired, who represented the discharged soldiers, made an earnest appeal to the officers, and all the soldiers because they had shown by the only possible evidence that they had not participated in the raid and had given the court, every indication they had bearing on the subject. "It has been claimed," said Gen. Daggett, "that the discharge of these men without honor" was not punishment, but simply a removal of bad behavior, an injury that occurred charged with committing, or concealing knowledge of, an atrocious crime. It was a crime that would brand the perpetrators with infamy and follow them and their families forever. They would be punished by death, this crime "by the authority to which the offender is subject." Men can endure the loss of fortune, friends, family life itself; they cannot bear disgrace. How much better it would be to have the men killed in battle. Some of these men had served their country long and faithfully and honorably. They had endured hardship and exposed their lives in battle. They were looking forward, as they would in any retirement, and a happy home during the remainder of their lives. Disgrace Worse Than Death Disgrace Worse Than Death. "Every member of this court has held a commission in which he would have been killed in battle, or any other way, than have been 'dis-hardened without honor.' And yet it has been claimed that these soldiers have not been punished. But the definition of punishment includes the word 'loss.' One of these men (Sergent Mingo Saunders) would have been counted to retire in less than on' a comfort room for himself. At one stroke he is deprived of this right. At an advanced age of life, with a family to support, unacquainted to the ways of earning a living or dead life, he is thrown out on the old, recalcitrant world, others with various powers of life, looking forward to the same privileges suffered the old, recalcitrant world. And he was not punished. It has been obtained much that the discipline of the army required the disclosure of those men without honor. It is fortunate that others should suffer. I think all will agree that the company commander has the best opportunity of one other in the army to know what discipline is and how to attain it. One of the army that could be struck today would be to show the army that justice shall be needed on to the person of the fifth infantry. But the guilty if there are any, colonels, lieutenants, the army could guilty can be found, be governed by the rule of law, that a man is innocent till proved guilty. Believe that no guilty comes then that one innocent man be punished. Take another guilty. No innocent can justify it. Innocent Until Proven Guilty. It is a principle of American and English law that a man is innocent till proven guilty. It is an axiom of law that a man is innocent law will not exact impossibilities. It has been said that those men must prove their innocence. Well, what can they do? How shall they do it? Nearly every man in the battalion has testified that he does not know what he saw or shot. Where could they find other witnesses who had any opportunity to know about the shooting? What other evidence was it possible for them to produce? Can they tell them? The law does not exact imputation, dearer than life, now with this court. It can continue the stigma on these men and their offspring. It can remove the blot wrongfully, even if with good intentions, placed on a clean page. If ever there was a case where conscience should control it is the one now awaiting decision." Someone of a sensation was pro- duced by statements made by Napoleon L. B. Marshall, Esq. an Afro-American member of the Washington bar, who was associated with Gen. Ippachi, as counsel for "The Black Bat- tlemen." Attorney Marshall declined the offer of the court to submit an argument on the general ground that it would serve to purpose and that he improperly instructed by President Matt's Secretary of War an ex- periment, democrat, and that the sender of the court, Capt. Charles R. Howland, the Infantry, had made a decision to produce any oaths of favorables to theusch- ing and war gods. Basic for Declination Basis for Declination In declining to argue the case Mr. Marshall gave two specific reasons as follows: "First. Because the procedure adopted by the recorder (Cap. Howland, and questioned in by this court, leaves it unclear whether this court is a court of inquiry or a court-martial; or, in other words, whether the recorder is an impartial investigating officer or a prosecuting officer. Second. The instructions of the Secretary of War to this court conflict so fundamentally and totally with my legal training as to make it impossible for me to build an argument which would attempt to prove a claim. Third. For these reasons," said Mr. Marshall, "I can neither argue nor can I appeal to your merciful consideration. In all, honorable court is bound by the limitations imposed on the judge from which its instructions proceed." What Record of Court Shows. "The record of this court will show that I offered to produce testimony against the acte, giving the names of the participants (persons not in the military service of the government) in and details of an alleged conspiracy to commit a crime, permitted TO DO SO!". The record of this court will also show that no effort has been spared to produce before this court evidence, no matter how flimsy or circumstantial, which might in the slightest degree tend to demonstrate the guilt of the man who formerly defended the flag and the honor of this, our common country. "The particular instructions given by Secretary Dickinson to the court in the usual investigation to which I shall special expect execution, are as follows: "Such conclusions as may be reached by the court in respect to the eligibility for re-evaluation of the forfeiture, at a township, who were separated from the military service in the operation of discharges without honor, should be affirmative and positive, and such preponderance of testimony as will support its specific finding." President Taft knew what he was about when he appointed an "unconstructed ex-rabbit and southern demi-fraudor." Mr. Dickinson is doing his level best "to make good" not only in this Brownville matter but also in every other way harmful to the race. Have you seen the dis-franchisement of northern as well as southern Negroes? Male Friendship Remarks have been made lately as regards the apparent decline of close personal friendships between men. Perhaps something in our busy modern life accounts for our lower note in masculine friendships. Perhaps, too, much that belonged to interchanges between man and man, is now possible between woman and man as equals.

Poster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. THE ROAD TO POPULARITY Recipe Has Been in Use Many Years, But It is.Not Always Safe to Trust it. The way to be popular has been explained by one of the marshmallow magazines which infilates itself with the idea that it is directing modern life. "When you shake hands with a man," runs the recipe, "grasp the hand as though you were glad to see the owner, look him in the eye, and give him a smile from your heart." This is a sure-enough recipe. It has been worked by some of the greatest frauds in Christendom, to subserv their own ends. The man who is seeking popularity, posing for it, angling for it, usually doesn't deserve it. Keep your admiration for men who show you their real selves, who, when they are bothered, or worried, or mad or glad, make it manifest by appropriate facial expression, and who are not constantly standing themselves before the mirror. The Dog Settled It. The multimillionaire was uncerachit. "But how do I know you can support my daughter in the manner to which she has been accustomed?" he demanded, dubiously.
