THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER SGORES ANOTHER VICTORY. Shows the Federal Administration in Bad Light. NEGROES SHOW DEEP INTEREST IN THE DISCUSSION — EVERY ATTEMPT TO CONVICT THE SOLDIERS FALLS FLAT — SPECIAL DETECTIVES' STATEMENTS DECLARED TO BE FALSE BY LEADING MEN OF GEORGIA — SHERIFF AND CAPTAIN OF STATE GUARD SWORE TO AFFIDAVIT—MR. ROOSEVELT'S ADMINISTRATION WILL HAVE TO MANUFACTURE ANOTHER STORY. There was a revival of scenes in the Senate to-day caused by the able speech of Senator Joseph Benson Forsaker, of Ohio. The galleries were filled to overflowing. There being some notable members of the race, who had come to hear one man who is a champion of fair play, and who is not willing to close the doors of hope on any part of the citizens of this great Union. The elite of the national capital came out to listen and to be true they heard a most able defence of the Negro soldiers who have been accused, convicted and dishonorably discharged from the regular army by the President without the right of fair and impartial trial. The Senator received the strictest attention from his colleagues on the floor, nearly all of whom were present, together with a considerable number of members of the House who occupied places in the rear of the chamber. Mr. Foraker had prepared his speech very carefully, but his reading of the manuscript had all of the interest of an extemporaneous address. When Mr. Foraker commented on a statement of the detectives respecting a letter he had written to one of the discharged soldiers he laid down his manuscript and with considerable vehemence declared: "I have doubtless written some letters needing explanation. I have doubtless written some letters that I would not have written if I had all the information I get at some other time. But I have never written any letter since I left my mother's knee of which I have been ashamed or that needed any lying to explain." WORK OF SPIES. As he proceeded his voice grew more and more intense. "If I have shown any undue zeal in commenting on this proceeding," he said, again departing from his manuscript, "it is not through anger, but through that indignant resentment that every self-respecting man feels who is spied on by the Government he is attempting to serve. No language can completely describe such a shameful performance, and I do not exempt anybody from that remark who has been connected with it, from the highest to the lowest." As Mr. Foraker read letters from some of the negro soldiers denying the statement of the detectives, he referred to a bundle of letters on his desk, and said the originals were there if any one cared to see them. He added that so much suspicion had been cast abroad he did not care to assume anything. "ROASTS" THE SLEUTHS. Speaking of the expedients resorted to by the detectives to extract incriminating admissions from Boyd Convers, the negro who lives in Monroe, Ga., he said that "in all the history of crime and its detection nothing more atrocious, disreputable and disgraceful has ever been recorded." When he digressed to say that this plotting was to "save somebody's face." it was after he had declared that the work of the detectives. "Is the result of a plot and a conspiracy blacker and more damnable than anything that has been charged against the soldiers themselves, for, atrocious and indefensible as is the crime of murder, more atrocious and indefensi- ble still is a cold, scheming, calculating plot to fasten the crime of murder upon an innocent man." Throughout his sensational and impressible philippic the Senator never dissociated the President from the detectives and their pursuit of evidence, and every odious characterization of the latter was intended by implication to involve Mr. Roosevelt himself. For illustration, when denouncing Browne's affidavit as "a lie out of the whole cloth," he spoke of the "iniquitious and unholy work" to which they had been assigned, and then searching for a superlative expression of condemnation, he called it "atrocious, revolting, shocking to every sense of fairness, justice and even common decency." Boyd Conyers, who occupies a conspicuous place in Foraker's argument, is a young negro who served a year in the Twenty-fifth Infantry, from whom Browne claims he secured a confession implicating himself and several other soldiers in the shooting at Brownsville. It was upon Browne's affidavit in this connection that the President largely based his message of last month, in which he pointed out that detectives were rapidly succeeding in proving beyond all doubt that the soldiers had committed the crime. There was a look of triumph on the Ohio Senator's face when he read the affidavit of Sheriff Arnold, of Walton County, Georgia, in refutation of Browne's incriminating statements. FROM PROMINENT MEN Captain Albert B. Mobley, of Company H, Second Infantry, Georgia National Guards; Fred D. McGarity, Assistant Cashier of the Bank of Monroe, and others of like standing in the community, and all white men, gave affidavits utterly discrediting the reports made to the President by the special detectives. The latter had erected a splendid structure in the evidence they pretended to have collected, but it went to smash under the terrific and effective onslaught of the champion of the negro soldiers. The Ohio Senator was in his best form when he took the floor to discuss the employment of detectives by the War Department and the character of the evidence they had presented to the President. His entire speech was devoted to this one subject; it had been more fully prepared and the Senator followed the text closely inasmuch as he quoted many eminent judicial authorities in support of arguments he intended to make, and in the interest of accuracy he was compelled to read the affidavits to which reference has been made. But every once in a while he laid aside his copy to hurl a few words of denunciation at the President and to give warning that a day of reckoning between him and the President was near at hand. It was a singular coincidence that while he was in the midst of his invective, Theodore E. Burton was being elected as his successor by the Legislature of Ohio. The thought may have been in the Senator's mind at the time that his early retirement to private life was due in a measure to the rupture between him and the President. At any rate he made no effort to spare the Executive or to soften any of the strictures he passed upon him. On the contrary, every time he deviated from his typewritten copy he was more caustic in his criticism than before. For instance, early in his speech he paused to say: "I have been accused of about everything that can be charged. That the time is soon here when men will not deal lightly with base charges and accusations, when they will be where they, too, can be called to account." WILL THERE BE A SCRAP. "There will be a time," he said, as he threw his manuscript down on his desk and looked over the Senate chamber, "when men will not lightly deal with such charges and insinuations. There will be a time when they will be where they can be called to account as other men can be called to account." Reading an affidavit of G. O. Arnold, the Sheriff, who denied the statements of the detectives in relation to alleged "confessions" secured from Boyd Convers, Mr. Foraker asked Senator Clay, of Georgia, what kind of a man Arnold was. Senator Clay said he had known Arnold fifteen or twenty years and that he was "a most excellent man in every respect." "I do not think that Arnold needed a certificate of characters," declared Mr. Foraker, "except only to those who believe ill of all those who do not agree with them." Commenting on the report of Herbert J. Brown, who had charge of the investigation by the detectives, Mr. Foraker declared he had been shocked (Continued on Page 8.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1909. Convened Here The Latter Part of the Past Week. CHAIRMAN SEARCY, OF MEMPHIS, WELL PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS—GOOD REPRESENTATION PRESENT — DR KLUGH, THE NATIONAL SECRETARY, ABSENT FROM THE MEETING—SENTIMENT STRONGLY FAVORS KEEPING HEADQUARTERS OF THE BOARD IN NASHVILLE—ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY OFFERS FLATTERING INDUCEMENTS—GREAT INTEREST PREVAILS. As was expected the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention, which met in this city last week, took up, among other important things that were to be considered, the moving or the attempt to move the office of the secretary from Nashville to the State of New Jersey, by the present Secretary, Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D., of Princeton, N. J. The Executive Board took such actions at this meeting as would be construed to mean "a calling down" of Dr. Klugh. They, by a unanimous vote, declared that this national office is to remain in the State of Tennessee, with headquarters in this city. The opinion was expressed that Dr. Klugh overstepped his bounds as well as his authority as both the National Convention, under whose auspices the Educational Board is operated and the board itself by unanimous vote, located the office of the secretary and headquarters of this Board here. Hence, the outlook for the theological seminary, which is the ultimate aim and work of the Educational Board, seems again bright. In the session of the Board that was held on the last day of the meeting out at Roger Williams University an agreement was reached with President Johnson and the trustees of the school by which the seminary could open at an early date, possibly next fall. The plan as given out to a Globe reporter is that the seminary will be operated on a small scale in the rooms, or some department, of Roger Williams University and that as means and funds are raised to further prosecute the work they will secure larger quarters. Dr. Searcy, the Chairman of the Board, appears to be well pleased with the outcome of the meeting and just before leaving the city for Memphis he stated that the Tennessee Baptists in their meeting which was held last week, gave him assurance that they would co-operate with him and his board in giving financial aid towards the seminary. They further agree that whatever campaign along educational lines he may inaugurate will have their hearty support. While no active work is begun as yet, the formulating of the plans has inspired the entire Board to activity. The action with respect to the secretary, at least, gave assurance to the Baptists of Tennessee and the citizens of Nashville that the Board would be taken out of the city and moved away as was thought. The order which will, no doubt, be given Dr. Klugh, the Secretary of the Board, is to the effect that if he desires to retain his secretary-ship he will keep his headquarters here even though he does not move to the state. The members of the board were of the opinion that in order to accept the $15,000,000 proposition offered by the Home Mission Society of New York to assist in operating this theological seminary, they must do something at once, not only on paper but in reality. The matter has dragged along since 1905. It was thought by the election of Dr. Klugh that he would come directly to the state, give up his pastoral duties, and prosecute the educational feature of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Searcy announces that in the early spring he will have another meeting and it will be possible then that the members of the General Educa- tional Board, which consists of one from each state, will be invited to come to Nashville and especially will this be feasible when it is remembered that the Baptists will have a national gathering here in June. The Sunday-school Congress, which convenes June 9th to 14th and which will no doubt be given very low rates on the railroads, will enable all of the members of this Board to meet him here. The personnel of the Executive Board of Tennessee is as follows: Reverends Wm. Haynes, S. E. Griggs, and E. M. Lawrence, Nashville, T. J. Searcy, Memphis, this number should be augmented by a Secretary, which would make five, constituting the Executive Board. The unfortunate experience of the National Baptist Educational Board seems to have been in getting a secretary that would devote his time to this particular phase of the work, that would come to Nashville, and open proper headquarters. The first and only educational secretary that has ever visited his office was Prof. John R. Wilson. The last two elected have not seen the city in their official capacity. It is evident from the citizens' viewpoint that the Baptists of the United States should at least locate the school here or in some other city. If the recent meeting means anything at all under such able leadership as is that of Dr. Searcy, the educational institutions of middle Tennessee will be increased by a National Baptist Theological Seminary, the actual work (it is hoped) to be under way by the time the convention meets in Columbus, next September. MR. MOSES LEWIS, A PROMINENT CITIZEN. DEAD. Mr. Moses Lewis, of 911 Sixteenth avenue, North, died at his home Monday morning, January 11, 1909. Mr Lewis was one of the most conspicuous characters that ever passed through the streets of Nashville. He was familiarly known to children from one end of the city to the other as "Peg Leg," and many a mother has frightened her little ones into submission with the threat that she would give them to "Peg Leg," and the children, in their innocence, believed that they would be carried away or terribly punished. They knew his bugle, which was a signal to them to seek cover. Mr. Lewis got as much pleasure out of these incidents as any one, and more than the little tots, but his was not a mission of destruction, he was a strict business man. The people of Nashville knew him by reputation as a chair repairer, and he always had more work than he could do. He had a keen insight to business, and never failed to take advantage of every opportunity to make money. Mr. Lewis realized the value of advertising and was able to show leading merchants of the city that he had a good advertising medium. He rented the sign on his carts for a good revenue. Mr. Lewis was a man of sterling qualities. He believed in the home, and was never too busy to give attention to his family. He leaves four daughters and a wife to mourn his loss. The daughters are all married and live in this city. They are Mrs. Rachel Phillips, Mrs. Charity Fair, Mrs. Lizzie Frierson, Ms. Delila Fenroy. The funeral was held at Stonewall Street Baptist Church, Tuesday, January 12. Services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. W. Porter. --- MR. AND MRS. SANDERS ENTER TAIN. Quite a social gathering assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sanders, of 516 N. Mary street, January 3, to participate at a New Year luncheon. The home was brilliantly illuminated for the occasion. The parlor was decorated with ferns, palms and cut flowers. The dining-room table being tastefully arranged with pure white linen, cut glass and imported China to serve an elaborate menu, consisting of turkey, salads, pickles, cranberry sauce, celery, spice round, peas, corn, macaroni, black coffee, fruits, candies and cake of different varieties. Those present besides the host and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. H. Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. W. Waters, Mr. and Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Benjamin Silvers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Miller, Mrs. W. M. Silvers, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Silvers, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Porter, Miss Maggie Silvers, Mr. Leon, Miss Pauline Harland, Mr. Cox, Miss Summers, Mr. Eugene Silvers, Messrs. Joe Harland, Richard Jimerson, Little Misses Kittie B. Porter, Lillian Waters, Ethelean Lester Silvers, Masters Rowan Talmage Miller and H. Wallace, Jr. INDICATIONS FOR 1909 GROW BRIGHTER DAILY. Tennessee Coming to the Front Rapidly. WILL LIKELY HAVE TWO NEW BANKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE MEMPHIS TO HAVE ANOTHER HEADED BY B. J. FARNANDIS—TO BE STYLED PYTHIAN BANK AND TRUST COMPANY—NASHVILLE LIKELY TO HAVE ANOTHER—NUMBER OF BANKS CLOSE TO HALF A HUNDRED—SCATTERED TO ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTRY—NEGROES GETTING DOWN TO SOLID BUSINESS. The outlook for the Negro Banks for 1909 assumes a most encouraging aspect. This is brought about from the fact that two states who are already far in advance with their banking business and banking concerns have chartered additional institutions. The recent organization of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank in Palestine, Texas adds another Negro bank to the Lone Star State. The two older ones being located in Houston and Fort Worth, Texas respectively. The Palestine concern has a capital stock of $25,000.00 divided into five thousand shares of $5.00 each, a large number of which have already been sold. They have selected for president E. M. Griggs who was for many years associated with the Land and Improvement Company of Anderson County, while H. L. Price from the Palestine Plaindealer is the cashier. The other is the Pythian Bank and Trust Company organized and chartered by some active Pythians the bank will be located at Memphis. The capital stock of this concern is $25,000.00 with the shares at $5.00 each. The stock will not be sold in any unusually large quantities. The idea being to give out only a small number of shares to each purchaser. Mr. B. J. Farnandis, of Memphis, a member of the K. of P. Grand Lodge, is the promoter of Tennessee's newest bank. He will have the greatest encouragement along this line. This gives Memphis two Negro banks. The desire to operate concerns is not stopping in West Tennessee. It has spread with a prairie-fire rapidity to the capital state. Persistent rumor has it that Nashville will have another Negro bank. The city is large, the Negro population equally as large with many thousands in money waiting active investment. The list of Negro banks has grown considerably. Last January the number was approximated at 37. This month the approximate runs up to 42. an increase of five new financial concerns now in operation. There have been four, however, to close their doors since last January: the Peoples' Bank of Philadelphia, the Unity Bank and Trust Company of Pine Bluff, Ark., the Capital City Savings Bank of Little Rock are among those known to have suspended. But the encouraging feature is that not one of the institutions caused a loss to the depositors and stockholders by closing. Persistent rumor has it that on account of lack of co-operation the Negro bank at Tampa, Fla., suspended, but the rumor has not as yet been confirmed. On Jan. 1st Negro banks to the following number were being operated. Four in Richmond, Va., two in Birmingham, Ala., one in Meridian, Miss., one in Mound Bavou, Miss., two in Vicksburg, Miss., one in Nashville, Tenn., one in Greenville, two in Savannah, Ga., two in Jackson, Miss., one in Yazoo City, Miss., one in Indianola, Miss., one in Hampton, Va., one in Newport News, Va., one in Newborn, N. C., two in Memphis, Tenn., one in Chicago, Ill., one in Columbus, Miss., one in Salem, Va., three in Jacksonville, Fla., one in Norfolk, Va., one in Tuskegee Inst., Ala., one in Houston, Tex., one in Staunton, Va., one in Muskogee, Okla., (Continued on Page 6.) 1 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

WANTS NO NEGRO CLERKS IN THE LEGISLATURE. Representative Taylor Will Offer Resolution in Missouri Denouncing Republicans for it. Special to the Nashville Globe. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 8.—Representative John D. Taylor of Chiron County, said to-day he would introduce a resolution Monday denouncing the Republicans for employing Negroes as their clerks. Representative Casey, of Marion County, declared the proceeding was one never before heard of in the Missouri house. "Among the clerks in the house will be many young white women," said Taylor, "and it is an outrage that they should be compelled to work side by side with Negroes, and this house should not submit to the indignity "There will be four Negroes employed as clerks, besides five on the doorkeeper's staff. "I don't object to the latter, but insist that they should not force Negroes into clerical positions on us." ENTERTAINED. AT DINNER. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Woodford, of 2410 Herman street, entertained at dinner on last Sunday afternoon. While waiting for the dinner frappe was dispensed to the guests. Those who enjoyed the hospitalities of Mr. and Mrs. Woodfork were Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, Mrs. Fannie Morris, Misses Bessie Garrett, Estelle Keeble and Eleanor Battle and J. Frank Battle. A ten-course menu was served. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY OF LEWIS- BURG. The Woman's District Auxiliary of the Duck River Missionary Baptist Association will hold its second Board meeting with the members of the First Baptist Church of this city on the 14th and 15th of this month. The program is very entertaining. A grand time is anticipated. Rev. J. B. Spratlen, of Columbia, will deliver the auxiliary sermon. The pastor, Rev. W. M. Harris, is a wide-awake young man and is doing a great work for the cause of the Master in this city. Through his instructions the members of the church are preparing to royally entertain the sisters while here. BANK CHANGES HANDS Among the changes noted with the Negro banks is the one recently made at Jacksonville, Fla., in which the Capital Trust and Investment Company sold out to its president, Sylvanus H. Hart. The concern is now operated as a private bank unincorporated. It is Sylvanus H. Hart, Banker, doing business at the same place.

The special Board meeting of the Tennessee Baptists, which met in the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, was an interesting one. The Board was largely attended, there being members here from all over the State. Such matters as were of importance to the educational interests of the Baptists were considered. Several new members were added to the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University. MASS MEETING CALLED. A call for a mass meeting issued this week is as follows: It is generally admitted that the relations between the white and colored people of the South are not in all respects what they should be, and there are but few who will honestly claim that white and colored people have equal treatment before the law. There is a profound feeling among the colored people that something should be done to inaugurate an era of justice and fair play. Beyond doubt many of the ills under which the colored people suffer are removable, and will disappear when a more friendly sentiment for all worthy aspirations on the part of colored people has been developed among their white neighbors. With a view to setting in motion forces that will eradicate suspicion and distrust between the two races and substitute therefor mutual confidence and helpfulness upon a basis of even-handed justice to all, it has been deemed wise to issue this call for a public mass meeting to assemble on Wednesday night, January 20, at 8 o'clock at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., pastor. All persons in sympathy with the object of this meeting as set forth above are invited and urged to be present. The call is sent out by DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL.

The subject of "Negro Dolls for Negro Babies" is attracting considerable attention among colored people and is being discussed by some of the most prominent colored men and women in the country. In a recent issue of the "Colored American Magazine" Counselor E. A. Johnson, of New York, who was for many years dean of the law department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., has a unique article, in part as follows: "I am convinced that one of the best ways to teach Negro children to respect their own color would be to see to it that the children be given colored dolls to play with. The children do not know anything about prejudice themselves, and in most cases they prefer white dolls to colored ones, but this idea could be easily removed from their young minds by putting in their hands at the onset good-looking colored dolls. To give a negro child a white doll means to create in it a prejudice against its own color, which will cling to it through life. "I believe we should not rear our children to hate the complexion that God has given them, and thus sow the seeds of discontent with themselves that will cause them to feel inferior all through life. A dark skin is as good as any other, providing the person who wears it is deserving. There is nothing disgraceful in black or brown. No person despises a black horse or a black chicken. A black cat is sometimes looked upon with superstition, but not prejudice. In some countries the devil is painted as white and the angels as black. It is more a matter of education than anything else that we have so much of it in America, not only among the whites, but among the colored people themselves who have been taught from infancy to hate a black face and prefer a white one. In 1891 I wrote a history of the colored children in which I said as follows: 'A more modern theory of color is that the color of the skin is a shield against the penetrating rays of the sun. Most of the birds in tropical countries are colored, while those of the Artic circle are white. The white bear comes from the Artic regions. The color theory was also quite popular formerly as an argument in support of the curse of Noah.' We hold that the color of the race is due to climatic influences, and in support of this view we quote in reference to Africa as follows: 'As we go westward we observe the light color predominating over the dark, and then again, when we come within the influences of the damp sea air, we find the shade deepened into the general blackness of the coast population. There are five distinct types of races. The Caucasian is white; the Mongolian is yellow; the Malay, brown; the American Indian, red; and the Ethiopian, black. The wisest of men have always been puzzled to account for these different --- --- MILARY E. HOWSE. C. T. COFFEY, 11-13-08-3mrs. CARTE DE VINES Cor. Ninth Ave. and Cedar Jones & Hopkins Mfg.

Banks—Adams. One of the most notable social events of the holiday season, was the marriage of Miss Emma C. Adams and Dr. Sylvester S. Banks which was solemnized in the presence of a host of friends Wednesday, December 30th, at 4 p. m., Bishop Tyree of officiated. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Dr. Walter Adams, of Louisville, Ky., and was attired in a handsome gown of white messaline satin made directoire. Her tulle veil was caught with lillies of the valley and she carried a bouquet of bride's roses and lilies. The wedding register was kept by Miss Blanche Randalls.

A Commentary on the Sunday-school lessons, every superintendent, teacher and advanced scholar should have one. 523 Second Avenue, North, ```markdown ``` We, your committee, have drawn up certain resolutions to our deceased Knight, Joseph Patterson, who fell asleep Thursday, December 10, 1908, at 12:25 p. m. As a committee of Stringer Lodge, No. 6, K. of P., we realize that we have sustained an irreparable loss. His genius for making plans and executing same, and always looking forward in a spiritual way for the benefit of his Lodge; his wise counsel and unerring judgment, and above all these, his Christian life and godly conversation, made him a leader whom we trusted and dearly loved. His code of ethics was no mere system of moral philosophy, but the laws of our lodge, which are the golden laws of our divine Lord which he himself laid down. And Knight Joseph Patterson's life was regulated by those laws. His motto in life was "Do unto others as you would have them likewise do unto you," and as a member of Stringer Lodge, No. 6, K. of P., he fulfilled all requirements of the disciples of our fraternity, and during his connection with us covering a period of near thirteen years, his record is clear, with every duty well performed. He was a father of great ability, and above all, he was a true Christian man and said that he was not afraid to die. It fills our hearts with gratitude to know that we had among us a comrade like this Christian man. "He is not dead, but sleepeth, well we know; The form which lies mute beneath the sod Shall rise when Time the golden bugles blow And pour their music through the courts of God. Not now, but in the coming years,— It may be in the better land— We'll read the meaning of our tears, And then, some time, we'll understand." resolved, That we extend to his awed widow, sons and daughter heartfelt sympathy and assure h of our prayers. Be it further Resolved, That this paper be spread upon the minutes of Stringer Lodge, No. 6, K. of P., and a copy furnished the press, with the request that it be IN MEMORIAM.

The extreme pleasure and general good feeling manifested in the Baptist City Ministers' Conference on last Monday morning was a notable sign and marked one of the features of the meeting. The regular weekly conference matters were disposed in routine order. The new officers for 1909 were installed as follows: Rev. T. J. Townsend, chairman; Rev. J. C. Harding, vice chairman; Rev. J. C. Fields, secretary; Rev. G. K. Wilson, Treasurer Among other matters endorsed was --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1909. Half Mo- Nashville, Tenn. the coming of Miss N. H. Burroughs.

Bishop Evans Tyree, who recently returned to his home from his work in Texas, has been confined to his room for several days. He is suffering with fever and is generally run down physically. His work has been very arduous since the adjournment of the General Conference in Norfolk, Va., last May. At the time of going to press Bishop Tyree was convalescent, and Dr. Boyd, the attending physician, said to a Globe representative that he would be up in a few days. Bishop Tyree is one of the leading Churchmen in this country and is highly respected in his home city. His many friends throughout the country will learn with much joy of his recovery. REV. J. H. GARNETT. D. D. On Monday of this week the Rev. J. H. Garnett, D. D., of Macon, Mo., arrived in this city. Dr. Garnett came directly from the West for the purpose of visiting Nashville.

GOV. PATTERSON'S MESSAGE. The Governor's special message to the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee relative to prohibition on Monday was an able one, deserving calm and dispassionate consideration. By an array of strong arguments he set forth the futility of any law that has for its aim the regulation of men's appetites. The Governor lays down several propositions which he discusses at length. He holds that prohibition will not prohibit and reasons upon it in the following way: "Under the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States, and its interpretation by the courts, liquor is recognized as a commodity or trade, just as flour, clothing, shoes or any other article. "The state is as powerless to prevent shipment of liquor to the people of Tennessee as it is to prevent the shipment of any other commodity which may enter into interstate trade. "It follows therefore that, until the United States Government itself forbids the manufacture and sale of liquor, or refuses to allow its shipment to a State, it is not possible to have a prohibition law. Those who claim the contrary either do not know better, or, knowing better, deceive the people." Continuing this line of argument by way of comparison, the message reads: "Let the comparison be made between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Who will say the conditions in Knoxville are better than in Chattanooga? "Are the people happier or better in Knoxville than in Chattanooga? Is there more employment for labor, and is it paid better wages? Are rents higher? Is there more building? Are more houses tenanted in Knoxville than in Chattanooga? "Is not the only difference so far as liquor is concerned that it can be obtained in Chattanooga legally and openly, and can be obtained illegally and surreptitiously in Knoxville. The prohibition law to which Knoxville consented is not observed, while the laws are observed in Chattanooga. "If the law will not be observed where the people consent, how can we expect it to be observed where they do not consent?" If prohibition laws have not accomplished the purpose for which they were enacted in other cities and states, will one be effective against blind tigers, bootlegging and every other conceivable device or subterfuge of evasion in Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, or in Tennessee? There is something strange and singular about the man's actions in dealing with this prohibition issue. First, the issue was ably discussed in a series of debates by the late Mr. Carmack, for prohibition, and Gov Patterson, for local self-government. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1909 both aspirants for gubernatorial honors, before the Democrats of the State, who in their primary decided in favor of the Governor by a handsome margin. Did they do that in good faith? is the question that naturally arises from what is transpiring now. BEN TILLMAN. Senator Tillman's Oregon land deal, it is reported, is one of the chief topics of comment about the Nation's capital. He, according to charges preferred to the Senate by the President, is guilty of using his official position to acquire land in the far Northwest, the land being a part of the same public domain which he had succeeded in having the government oust others. Less than a year ago, or last February, Senator Tillman made the statement, it is said, that he had bought no Western land, yet the evidence submitted by the President discloses facts sufficiently strong to draw from the Senator another statement that is the opposite to the first. It is a potent fact that both are not correct. How is he going to reconcile those two statements? It is a hard job, but he has tackled it courageously and is talking away for dear life. If he can succeed in convincing the public that he is not capable of a misuse of his official position in acquiring those Oregon lands, he will have accomplished a greater task than did Hercules in cleaning out the Augean stables. His admission in the following words will be difficult to explain: "In my conversation with the Attorney-General in regard to the resolution which I introduced, and which he himself prepared after he had talked over the whole land situation, I distinctly remember telling him that my interest in the matter had been first aroused by my desire to purchase some of the timber land, and that my coming to him was due to the fact that I discovered upon investigation that I could not buy it through any agency whatsoever, that I could not buy it even by lawsuit because I was advised by very able lawyers in the West, among them the Hon. George Turner, of Washington, that in attacking the holders of these land grants, no one would have any standing in court except the grantor, the Government, itself. I was, perhaps disingenuous." Senator Tillman, in his self-defense effort before the Senate last Monday, said: "I was, perhaps, disingenuous." Let us give verbatim Webster's definition of "disingenuous:" 1. Not noble or high-toned; mean; unworthy; as, disingeneous conduct or schemes. 2. not ingenuous; wanting in noble candor or frankness; not open; uncandid; meanly artful." To all of this Senator Tillman subscribed when he confessed, "I was, perhaps, disingenuous." We have included this definition in our comment to show that the tongue that has wagged so freely and uttered such bitter invectives, such scathing denunciations in the Senate, on the husting, before Chautauqua assemblies, and, in fact, everywhere, against the Negro people of this country, has been driven by the unexpected force of circumstances to incriminate its owner—"I was, perhaps, disingenuous." Yes, our friend, the Senator, it seems has been caught red-handed with the "goods"—the odor of "Oregon lands" clings to his garments. He may rage and fume against those responsible for the cover being pulled off, disclosing his dual role, but to no purpose. The record is against him. While the Senator is gulping down the bitter contents, dregs and all, of the cup of which he has been giving the Negro people such copious draughts, they, we venture to say, will not be shedding any crocodile tears. THE UNITED STATES SENATE. The old saying that the worm will turn finds verification in the late declaration of the United States Senate that it intends to move out from under the shadow of the heretofore dreaded "big stick" and assume its pristine perogative as part of the appointing power of the government, which has been almost entirely monopolized by the man of destiny, our great Theodore. But this late raising of its bristles and uttering frothy bravado on the part of our great and august national body against a man who is on the eve of relinquishing the reins of power make it the quintessence of pitilableness. When the echoes from the footfalls of such men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Hayne, Benton, Sumner and their respective colleagues subsided, as those mental and epoch-making giants passed from the halls of Congress to return no more, they subsided, it seems, never to be awakened. Could Mr. Roosevelt's whip-hand have driven all or even one of those men to do reluctantly his biddings? Would any of them have stood sinely by and allowed him to ride down constitutional authority, even though it affected only the rights of a weaker brother? Now that the President is about to quit the strenuous life in the political arena and enter upon it as a mighty Nimrod in Africa, chasing lions, tigers and elephants and lassoing boa constrictors, crocodiles and hippopotamuses, Congress, both Houses, is easily piqued at anything he says or does. It seems almost emboldened to snatch the "big stick" out of his hand and give the owner a resounding whack. It has nearly enough temerity to do the boy's act and knock the chip off his shoulder. The House hit at the chip when it laid a part of his message on the table, because of the chastisement received at his hand. Our easily offended national lawmakers by their capers in the way of angry outburst and demonstrations give the impression that they are affected with some sort of malady which will, if Mr. Roosevelt does not go to Africa, eventually merge into "brain storm." By a recent decision of the United States District Court in the State of Oklahoma, handed down by Judge Campbell, a Creek freeman, Zeke Moore, who had been fraudulently dispossessed of one hundred and twenty acres of land in the oil producing district, was restored to his rights of possession. The decision carries with it not only restoration of the land, which is valued at $500 000, but also a royalty of ten per cent of all the oil that has been taken from the wells on the property. This stroke of good fortune makes a Negro millionaire. We congratulate you, Mr. Moore, on this happy turn of affairs in your favor. Live long and enjoy it. The eight nightriders who were tried at Union City for the murder of Capt. Rankin on the night of Oct. 19, 1908, were found guilty, six for murder in the first degree, with mitigating circumstances, and two for second degree. Judge Jones ignored the recommendation of mitigating circumstances and sentenced six to death and two the penitentiary for twenty years. He put it squarely up to the Supreme Court of the State as whether there were any mitigating circumstances about the dragging of Capt. Rankin and Col. Taylor from their beds, murdering one and attempting to murder the other. It is strange, but true, something has caught every one of these conspicuous misanthropes of the Negro race—Tillman, of South Carolina, Bailey, of Texas, Davis, of Arkansas, and Vardaman, of Mississippi. Each has been a shining mark at which the cold, unmoving finger of Justice has pointed with relentless certainty until retribution has overtaken him. The timbered land of Oregon led Tillman astray, the golden, shekels of Standard Oil tempted Bailey, and Vardaman and Davis were caught on general principles of their inability to say anything besides cursing the Negro. Thousands of soldiers are at work among the ruins of Messina and Reggio, where the recent earthquake in Italy was most destructive. In the course of the excavation going on people still alive are daily being rescued. This is due to their being imprisoned in underground apartments not totally wrecked, and their good fortune to get enough food to sustain life. Politics is an arena in which there occur some strange things, and one that will ever remain an insolvable enigma is, Why was Gov. Patterson elected in the primary and then in the general election as a local self-government candidate, in the face of the fact that he was opposed by a state-wide advocate in each? Both Houses of the Legislature of the State of Tennessee have signified their approval of a state-wide prohibitory liquor law. Is the State to become heir to a train of evils more demoralizing than those of which it is now possessed? Senator Foraker, true to his knightly chivalry of defense of the Negro soldiers, shelled the camp of their enemies again Tuesday in a masterly speech when his bill for their re-inlistment was called up in the Senate. Out of the north comes regal winter with all of his retinue of royal courtiers, snow, sleet, rain and cold. MEHARRY NOTES. Dr. J. M. Moore, D. D., Managing Editor of the Christian Advocate published in Nashville Tenn., preached the regular monthly University sermon at the Auditorium last Sunday morning to a large appreciative audience. He took for his text St. John 9:25—"He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." Dr. Jno. A. Kumler addressed the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, January 10, at 3:30 p. m. He discoursed upon the Bible and the method for study of same. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Ph. D., D. D., president of Gammon Theological Seminary at Atlanta, Ga., was duly elected and formerly invited to deliver the Commencement address to the graduating class April 8th '09; which he has graciously consented to do. These exercises will be held at the Ryman Auditorium. Dr. C. V. Roman has compiled a pharmacopeia for use in the eye, ear, nose and throat clinics held every Friday at 1:30 p. m. This book is the most complete thing of its kind extant. It is not only valuable to the students, but is of great service to the practitioner. The Hospital Association will hold a meeting at the Meharry Auditorium, Wednesday evening, January 20, at which meeting, a number of subscriptions which have been recently received, will be announced. These subscriptions range from $100 and over. The public is cordially invited. "Class night" exercises were held Friday, January 8, at the Meharry Auditorium. The occasion was a most brilliant one. The Auditorium was decorated in the college colors, crimson and black, and each member of the class wore the class flower, the red carnation. Each member of the class wore the class colors for the evening, steel-grey and azure blue; the programs being decorated with the same. Special reservation having been made for the Senior class and their guests, the hall began to fill as early as 6:45 o'clock. Before the program was begun the seats were all taken and the ushers improvised seats for the tardy arrivals with chairs. The orchestra rendered music specially prepared for the occasion which was highly entertaining. Each number on the program was received with an ovation; the orations were all masterpieces in their various lines. The occasion was unanimously voted one of the best that the school has ever seen. After the program the Dean congratulated the participants for the splendid compositions and rendition of the same. The nurses at Mercy Hospital under the supervision of Miss Minnie White, head nurse, entertained a few members of the senior class and friends. Thursday evening, January 7th. The affair was exceptionally a success. Beautiful music and games were indulged in to the heart's content. The affair was conducted upon true English lines which was a pleasant departure. The menu consisted of: Oyster-Plain-βολίθρ Sandwiches melange. Solitaire Pickles White; a cateress having been employed to serve. After the first lancers the guests were served with fruit nectar with chery in it. The nurses wore their class colors with carnations. The evening was well spent and highly enjoyed. During one number, a mazurka, the music was stopped and Mr. Z. K. Jones of the senior class made a presentation speech, presenting Miss White with a solid silver puff box which was a gift from the nurses. The race for Salutatorian and Valedictorian is on and considerable interest being manifested by all of the members of the senior classes. The Salutatorian comes from the Medical class and both Salutatorian and Valedictorian of the Medical class must have an average of 90 per cent on the three past years' work to be eligible to enter the race. The sick and indisposed are Miss Bryant, Mrs. Yarbrough, Messrs. McCellan, Butler, Gray, Kennedy, J. A. Martin, Slater and Sopp. Dr. W. E. Gray, Ph. B., who holds the chair of Medical Chemistry has recently purchased a horse and new buggy and had it christened while driving on Wharf avenue. The horse becoming frightened at an approaching car and turning sharply broke some of the spokes, but with his characteristic cool-headedness he was enabled to check the frightened animal before further damage was done, thus "hero-izing" himself in the eyes of the young lady beside him. Little Willie Clarkston, who recently underwent an operation at Mercy Hospital in having the left leg amputated in the lower third of the femur, is up and able to be about on his crutches. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The first quarterly conference of the fiscal year was held at St. John A. M. E. Church, beginning Sunday and ending Monday night. Dr. T. W. Haigler, the presiding elder, conducted the services. The weather was cloudy and threatening in the early part of the day, but nevertheless the attendance at the Sunday-school was larger than it had been for several Sundays. The new teachers for the year were installed by the pastor. Presiding Elder Haigler made a short talk to the Sunday-school. At eleven o'clock the services were well attended. Dr. Haigler preached an able sermon. The climax of the day was reached at the afternoon services. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, was to preach and fully half of the people in the audience were members and friends from his church. Nearly every seat in the large auditorium was filled. St. Paul choir furnished the music for the afternoon services, and great credit is due Mrs. Saunders for the excellent singing rendered by the visiting choir. Rev. Brooks preached an able sermon. He is one of the best informed ministers in the country, having traveled extensively in the old world. The large audience gave close attention to the sermon and seemed to be deply interested in the discourse. The occasion was the second union meeting between African Methodist churches of the city. The ministers have agreed upon this method in an effort to create a deeper interest on the part of the people. The first meeting was held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church in December. Rev. A. Brooks, the popular pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, preached at that meeting. The arrangement whereby the several congregations come together is growing in popularity, and the indications are that much good will result therefrom. The quarterly conference at St. John A. M. E. Church closed Monday night very successfully. All assessments were met up to that date. Dr. Haigler spoke in very complimentary terms of the work under the new pastor, Rev. W. A. Brooks, who was transferred from the East Tennessee Conference. SPRUCE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH - NOTES Rev. Wm. Simmons, of Decherd, and Prof. W. T. Petty, of Winchester, were guests of Pastor Townsend during the Board meeting. There was a large crowd out last Thursday night to see Mr. Peter Smith baptized. Rev. T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville, preached a strong sermon at Spruce street Church Thursday night. His subject was "Love, the Divine Law of God." Miss Jennie Dunson, organist of our Sunday-school, is quite sick. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac is fast recovering from his recent operation. The Emergency Raily was a great success last Sunday. The clubs reported $81.96 and the rally continues next Sunday. The young people of Spruce Street Church are very much elated over their new organization. They are pledging themselves to put on new life during 1909. Rev. Jackson, of Union City, and Rev. Evans, of Atlanta, are among the new members added during 1909. HOLD THIRD ANNUAL MEETING GLOBE PUBLISHING COMPANY COMPLETES SUGGESSFUL YEAR. Steady Increase in Volume of Business. SUBSCRIPTION LIST GROWING AT RAPID RATE—PRESIDENT DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS—REVIEWS PROGRESS OF THE NASHVILLE GLOBE—SETS FORTH THE POLICY OF THE PAPER—MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING THE NEED OF THE HOUR—STRIKES "STRAIGHTENINE" AVERTISEMENTS TELLING BLOW—OPTIMISTIC AS TO THEIR SUCCESS—NEW FEATURES TO BE ADDED. The Globe Publishing Company met in third annual session on Monday night, January 11, 1909, in the office of the company at 447 Fourth avenue, North. All the members were present excepting Editor J. O. Battle, who is wintering in Texas for recuperation. The business manager, Mr. H. A. Boyd, read his annual report which showed a great increase over last year's business. The subscription list was shown to be growing at a rapid rate, and every indication warrants the prediction that the Globe is the choice of the people. The Treasurer's report shows that the financial condition of the company is good and that the receipts more than double the previous year. President D. A. Hart read his annual address. He reviewed the progress of the Globe from its incipiency, and said he was very well pleased with the accomplishment of the year. He spoke in unequivocal language about hair straightening and face bleaching advertisements, declaring that the Globe would suspend indefinitely rather than accept such business. The address was as follows: Members of the Globe Publishing Company—Gentlemen: We come to-night to the beginning of our fourth fiscal year as publishers, and since it has been our good fortune to be enabled to keep our project in operation three years without a single break, I feel that we ought to be very proud of the success attained. We have not attempted to do other than the one thing we set out to do, namely to publish a weekly newspaper that would be a help in the general uplift of the people. Whether any one has been benefited by the existence of our paper we do not dare say, but leave that question to be decided by the people. Of one thing we are certain. We have all [Name] [Name not visible] H. A. BOYD, Business Manager Nashville Globe worked arduously to that end, and we believe there is a reward for every honest laborer. These rewards do not always come in the form of the article we call money, but often in a way far more beneficial, and I know nothing would give each one of you more satisfaction to-night than to know that some had been stimulated [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. D. A. HART, President Globe Publishing Company to higher ambitions, and imbued with determination to be better citizens by our having put in their reach the information imparted through the columns of our paper; and further we would rejoice with exceeding great joy if we could say with assurance that every thinking man and woman in this and adjacent communities who have kept up with our policy had concluded that their neighbor's interest is theirs and realized the power there is for good in a mutual understanding. I believe I voice your sentiments when I say that such an achievement we would value more highly than gold or silver. But the people, I regret to say, are slow to act, and their speech is too often not the kind that can be digested by the people as a whole, not that they do not understand too clearly. They see the "house divided against itself" and fear to enter, lest they be crushed by the fall. We cannot change our policy, however, for we know too well what the result would be. We will continue to work with hope, believing that our efforts will ultimately bear much good fruit. It is an old saying that Nashville is a graveyard for newspapers, but I rejoice with you to-night in the fact that the Nashville Globe has subsisted here for three years. It has not always had as large a balance in the bank as was desired at the end of the month, but the sheriff has not had to work overtime to especially accommodate the company, neither have the employees gone home a single week without their pay. We can boast that this has been made possible in this so-called newspaper cemetery without stooping to low things. We challenge any one to show where we have ever insulted our readers by flaunting in their faces those advertisements that have been declared by the courts to be a public nuisance. We have frequently been offered fancy prices by the concerns that manufacture articles to sell the unthinkable members of our race which ```markdown ``` --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. 1909 they claim will change the texture of their hair or the color of their skin, but we have always flatly refused their offers. No kinkine or straightenines, nor bleachine go in the Globe. We decided in the outset that when the day arrived that we would have to accept that class of advertisements to continue publishing our paper we would close up the office. There are other concerns that we have requested not to offer us their advertisements, as we did not believe the people would be benefited by reading them. Most of them appreciated our stand and none would compel us to take their business. This attitude on the part of these parties who would not press upon us what we did not want and the support we have received from the people and the leading merchants is sufficient proof to us that our policy has met their approval. Again, we realized in the beginning that the masses had long since learned the difference between patent and original matter in a newspaper, and decided that we would use only original matter. That decision has been adhered to to the letter, not one word of patent matter having appeared in our col mns the three years we have been issuing the paper. We have received flattering compliments from all parts of the country on the general appearance of The Nashville Globe, which is further evidence that we are on the right track. It is a true saying that the race is not to the swift nor the strong, but to him who endures to the end. We start out this year, therefore, with new determination to push on in our feeble efforts to help the people. True, one of our number has been forced to absent himself from the city, but we hope it will be for only a short period. We know he is lonesome on mailing nights with nothing to interfere with his engagements. We realize that there is much to be done, and we are anxious to do all we can that will be of help to the people. We will forget the many hours we have burned the midnight oil, and the many sacrifices we have made, and look only to the future which presents us great promise of success. The day has come when the people look to the Globe for the news of the hour; they have come to realize that our aim is to do good to all and harm to none; that we have no ax to grind, and that we are at all times working for the best interest of all. We are striving to build up and when any man or set of men start out to accomplish something commendable we herald it to the world and predict success. We presume that the party or parties counted the cost before-hand, leaving the profits to be counted afterwards, and will hustle with only one thing in mind, and that is, if I keep pegging away good results will inevitably follow. If he does happen to fail we count him with the builders on sand foundations, and go on looking for another fellow who is trying to get up, and give him a shove up the hill, and if our word would be law every new concern would have a capital sufficient to run on twelve months after one day's business, but our business is to boost and the other fellow's business is to stay where we put him if he can. I see no cause why we should be otherwise than optimistic as to our future success. There is plenty to do, and we have the means to do with, therefore let us continue to work and our reward is sure. President Globe Pub. Co. The company decided at their meeting to add several new features to the paper, and everything possible would be done to satisfy the people. Every effort will be made to keep the Globe in the front rank of the journalistic world. TIDINGS FROM CALIFORNIA. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thomas and Little son, Lloyd Rozelle, formerly of the city, but now of Riverside, Cal., write through the columns of the Globe that their many friends may know how well they are pleased with their new abode. Mr. Thomas' health is much improved and if it continues as it is he hopes to return in the early spring or summer. INSTRUCTOR OF PRINTING. Mr. S. Evans Shirley, who was connected with the composing room force of the National Baptist Publishing House, was last week appointed Instructor of Printing in the famous Tuskegee Institute. It will be remembered that only recently Mr. Shirley resigned his position in the city to accept a place on the printing force of the institution. His efficiency in this position, with that great "push," which is characteristic of him, have, no doubt, been the helpers in the appointment. Mr. Shirley is a brilliant young man and will make good in his chosen field. Rev. Flagg, pastor of Payne Chapel, and congregation are expected to visit Salem Chapel next Sunday. J. O. BATTLE. Editor Nashville Globe J. O. BATTLE. Editor Nashville Globe. TO ALL OF OUR READERS. An Open Statement That Will Inter terest Each Subscriber of the Nashville Globe. In entering upon our fourth anniversary, the Nashville Globe wants to call the attention of some of its readers to some very startling facts. The first and possibly the most important of these is that the Globe is the leading secular paper published by the race in the state of Tennessee; the Globe has been published and mailed every week during 1908, in fact, they never have missed an issue since it has appeared on the horizon as a weekly journal. There is not a better and more news weekly journal offered to the reading public at the prices of the Globe. We have not annoyed any of our subscribers about paying their subscriptions. In fact, three-fourths of the time we have not engaged the service of a collector. We have believed all along and we believe now that the readers of the Nashville Globe represent such a high type of reading people that they have resolved among their other new year's resolution, if they made any, to pay for the time they have been reading the Globe as that would be fair and just, and to send in their subscription for 1909. Those who have not made such resolutions will do so any way because they represent an important factor in the life of any journal. The readers that live in distant cities, in other states, on rural routes or in the suburbs of Nashville will do the Nashville Globe a kindly act by calling either at the Globe office, 447 4th Ave., N., or send us by post office money order or registered mail whatever you have to pay on your subscription. The Globe does not care to assume the role of a "dunning collector" because its readers do not ```markdown ``` [Name not visible in the image] C. H. BURRILL Secretary Globe Publishing Company. --- deserve that, but they adhere much to the policy of "Small favors are thankfully received, large ones in proportion." An immediate response to this by each of the subscribers, old or new, will be highly appreciated. Last but not least, if there is any irregularity in your paper, notify the Globe office. The telephone number it Main 4323—L. We will send a duplicate copy when the first one mailed fails to reach the subscriber. The Globe can boast of more than 10,000 weekly readers and yet there are many homes even in Nashville that we must enter during this year. We ask the co-operation of all our readers. The Globe Publishing Company, 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. Phone Main 4323—L. BAPTISMAL GARMENTS What a Minister Needs Most at This Season. There is not a pastor who would object to having a first-class baptismal garment. Many of them are now inquiring and looking around to see where such a garment can be obtained; others are going to neglect it entirely until the very week they are ready to baptize and then they will ask and offer to pay a fancy price for one. If this is not the case, they will be wanting to borrow from some other minister. This can be avoided by inquiring at the National Baptist Publishing Board, where you can get the prices and the style of their water proof, well made baptismal garments. You will need one just as soon as the revivals close. You will be needing it afterwards. Do not wait, but inquire or write the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. ** [Name] --- BADGES All Styles and Prices. "ay | TLL os Fl Tay, Ele Se LN Skins!

Misses Lillie Hall, Addie Sledge, Annie Hall, teachers of the Sunday-school, deserve much credit for the excellent work they are doing in school. SHELBYVILLE NOTES.

A large number of the people here attended the prayer-meeting at Mrs. Lettie Weakley. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES The Workers' Conference met in the office of Sunshine Home, Monday, January 11, at 10:30 a.m. The subject, "How we might best help the Street Waif who never attends Sundayschool," was freely discussed, and the sisters present finally decided to gather as many of these children, living in their immediate vicinities as possible, into their homes on Sunday afternoon and teach them the Bible, and we earnestly ask any sisters who feel led of the Lord to look after such children that may be found in their communities. Mrs. V. W. Broughton was present, and gave a very interesting report of the work that is being done by different missionary societies throughout West Tennessee. Miss Burnette, who has been somewhat indisposed for the last few days, is now convalescent, and it is hoped, will be able to resume her duties in short. The Sunday-school that is held at the Sunshine Home, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, is becoming very interesting, and the children are being greatly helped. CHATTANOOGA NOTES. Dr. R. F.

One would not think that the sporting public of America was so untrue to its noble sons, yet it seems to be the case, and there is no use of trying to get around the facts. When Burns was going around the world as the champion heavyweight, he was not a genuine American, and yet he received all the praise and honor that could be heeded upon him. There was no cry about his nationality. He had no one saying he should not have the title, or that it was a disgrace upon the game, and sporting papers all over this country were trying to show that he was an American and that America still held the heavyweight title, when, as a matter of fact, he is a French-Canadian and has made no effort to conceal the matter; still they keep howling that the ex-champion is an American. It is true that the American fighter has held his own, is game and has a record to be proud of, yet the public behind him is making him a thing to be detested among the fighters of other nations. The sporting public of America should be proud of her fighters and when she has one of ability he should be given credit for what he has done. Now Johnson is an American citizen, born and reared on American soil and does not claim to anything else, and we do know that he is proud of this fact. That he is a fighter of ability cannot be denied. Now, why was his victory over Burns not an American triumph? It was a fight of the American vs. the French-Canadian. The American won and this fact alone should be a pleasure to all America. Yet it is not so. He is receiving all kinds of criticism and some of the best fighters America has produced are making themselves famous by declaring that Johnson's winning the title is a disgrace to the game; yet none of them can truthfully say that he is not a great fighter and that he did not win his title fair by defeating Burns at every stage of the game. As a fighter and champion of his class Johnson should have better treatment at the hands of the American sporting public. The fact that he is an American citizen should bring much credit home to America and he should be received with open arms as the best man of the day. Now all this talk is only showing the true colors of the men doing it, and it is only serving to advertise the man, and while they are howling he is going on getting the money. Yet any man of any nation should like better treatment at home. * * * Sam Langford, whose prowess as a rings fighter seems to have given Stanley Ketchell, Billy Panko, Huco Kelly and the rest of the middleweight bunch an excuse for drawing the color AGENTS!

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1909 line, the other day gave the fistic connoisseurs of the Pacific Coast a chance to size him up in action. The display he made sent the curious away with a wholesome respect for the abilities of the black man, and many believe that they saw the reason why so many of the illy-white champions in his class were giving little Samuel the overlook. He has a kick in either mit, and he is liable to land that kick, perhaps more liable to land it—than Ketchell is to land one of his vicious swings. Sam can damage an opponent. All those who saw him are convinced of that. His enthusiastic local admirers are still at sea about one thing, however. "Is he game?" was the question asked. "Can he stand the gaff, or is the maxim that all Negro fighters have a streak of yellow true in his case?" There's the rub, or at least, one of the rubs. The local fight critics, says one of them, are chary of becoming enthusiastic about a man whom they have not seen in active service. The walloping of Papke has made them cautious about accepting a man on past performances in another town. Pugilistic stars from afar have come and gone, but many of them have been mere comets and hit the ground hard. Langford is a nice little black man on dress parade, but a demon in war time, a battle-loving veteran; but we are from Missouri. The Negro has the earmarks of a fighter, and not the cauliflower earmarks either, but he has to show the bunch yet. Billy Roche is one of the enthusiastic admirers of the black man "He is a pocket-edition of Danny Creedon," declared the referee. "He has a knockout punch in either hand if he can land it. He is a fighter of the old school. He has the hit and go away style of the old-time pugilists. He looks all the goods to me." * * JEANNETTE CROSSES WATER TO MEET SOME "HEAVES." New York.-Joe Jeanette, the colored heavyweight of this city, has sailed on the Adriatic for England and France. He is practically matched to meet Sam McVey, the California Negro, in Paris the latter part of January, to be decided at the National Sporting Club in London some time in February. Jeanette believes that Johnson will be in England at that time, and negotiations with the National Sporting Club for a match with the new champion are already under way. Jeanette thinks he can defeat Johnson. They have met in the ring in seven bouts. Four of these affairs were six-round draws, while it was even up between them in another battle of ten rounds Jeanette won on a foul in two rounds in a sixth bout, while in the seventh Johnson got a decision in fifteen rounds at Baltimore. Jeanette is a six-footer and weighs about 195 pounds when fit and is considered reasonably clever. He is game and a stiff puncher. Jeanette has met Sam Langford in several mills and has held his own with the Boston slugger. Jeanette's manager will also take Willie Lewis to France for several important contests.—The Freeman.

STILL FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE (Continued from Page 1.) and horrified when he reads his statements. "I wish," he said, his voice resounding throughout the chamber, "somebody else who prates about the dishonesty of other people," evidently meaning the President, "could be shocked and horrified." MAY PROSECUTE BROWNE. The Sheriff went into 'detail in describing Browne's conferences with Conyers, and he was able to do so because it was he who arranged the meetings, and was present throughout. Browne is still engaged in the work of procuring evidence, but the expectation at the Senate is that the President, upon becoming convinced that he has been seriously misled and imposed upon, will dispense with his services, if he does not take a more radical step. It was intimated at the conclusion of Foraker's speech that if the President did not act proceedings might be instituted against Browne at the instigation of others. After denouncing the course of the detectives in the strongest and most expressive language at his command, Foraler proceeded to a discussion of the legality of their employment and of the expenditures made on their account by the War Department. In this connection he struck several times at President-elect Taft, who, as Secretary of War, had advised the President to engage these men and had signed a contract for their employment. The Senator quoted from a law passed in 1892 in support of his contention that the Government has no right to hire any private detectives. He also undertook to demonstrate that the department committed an unlawful act when it paid for their services out of the emergency fund created at the close of the Spanish-American War to provide for any contingencies affecting the army which might arise from time to time. Foraker executed a remarkably skillful coup to-day, and clearly the Administration will have to bestir itself to recover the ground it has lost. ILLEGAL USE OF FUND. Illegal diversion of public funds by the President and William H. Taft while Secretary of War, to pay for the investigation by private detectives into the Brownsville affair was charged by Senator Foraker, in replying to statements of Herbert J. Browne, of this city, and Wm. G. Baldwin, of Roanoke, Va., who were employed by the Secretary of War to secure evidence of the guilt of the negro soldiers. The Government use of the private detectives was characterized by Mr. Foraker as "atrocious, shocking and revolting." Mr. Foraker declared that payments to the detectives were clearly illegal and in that violation of the following statutory provision: "That no employee of the Pinkerton Detective Agency or similar agency shall be employed in any Government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia." "This provision was enacted in 1892," said Mr. Foraker, "and has been in force and effect ever since. But inasmuch as is was found in an appropriation bill, it was thought proper in 1893 to re-enact it, amended so as to employ the word 'hereafter,' to the end that there might be no question whatever about its being the continuing law of the land until repealed. CHAPTER AND VERSE. "This re-enactment was in 1893, and reads as follows: "That hereafter, no employee of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or similar agency, shall be employed in any Government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia." "This statute is still in force and effect, unrepealed and unqualified. It was in full force and effect at the time when these contracts with Browne and Baldwin were made by the Secretary of War. "In view of these statutes, all these payments are clearly illegal, not only without warrant or authority of law, but in plain violation thereof." Speaking of the use of private detectives in investigating the Brownsville affair Mr. Foraker declared that "it is impossible to find language with which to fittingly characterize such a procedure as this detective business has been from its incipiency down to the monstrous stages it has reached. It is atrocious, revolting, shocking to every sense of fairness, justice and even common decency." PUBLIC MONEY FILCHED. Speaking of the reply of the President and of the Secretary of War to a Senate resolution calling for information on the detectives' investigation into the Brownsville affair, Mr. Foraker said: "It does not lessen the gravity of his offense that it appears to be imperceptible to him; or, if not so, that he has become utterly oblivious to all the restraints of law, decency and propriety in his mad pursuit of these helpless victims of his ill-considered action. Moreover, I shall be able to show, I think, that all this has been done without authority of law and with public money that has been filched from the public Treasury in flat defiance of the Constitution and a statute in full force and effect. "I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion, aside from the question whether there has been a misappropriation of public funds, no precedent for anything so shocking can be found in all the history of American criminal jurisprudence. ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT. "When he submitted these affidavits to the Senate, he again, as in his former message, affirmed that it 'conclusively and overwhemingly established the guilt of the men, as charged by him, and went so far as to say that there was no room left for any 'honest difference' of opinion, and to intimate that men who professed to have doubt had some unworthy motive prompting that doubt or that they merely pretended to have doubt in order that they might accomplish some unworthy purpose. "In the message he sent to the Senate after the report of the Committee on Military Affairs, he reiterated that the facts claimed by him had been by that testimony thoroughly established "Hence it was that when the committee reported everybody apparently supposed the investigation was ended, and if any one had thought about it at all he surely would have supposed that the President, who had formally in his messages to the Senate, over and over again more than a dozen times, asserted that the testimony 'overwhelmingly' and 'conclusively' and 'beyond any doubt,' and so thoroughly as to admit of no honest difference of opinion about it, established the guilt of the soldiers, would be content to rest upon the testimony that had in these numerous ways been gathered together. "But not so. As though conscious that, notwithstanding all his assertions and declarations as to the sufficiency of the testimony, it was, in fact, unreliable and insufficient to justify his order of discharge, we were favored with the further message December 14, 1908, in which we were informed that detectives had been employed by the War Department, and that they have been at work for months—over since April 16, 1908—traveling about over the country, visiting these discharged soldiers trying to secure from them incriminating statements and confessions of guilt, and that as a result we now have another batch of 'conclusive' testimony." BRIBES AND THREATS. "It will appear from the President's message and the exhibits thereto attached showing the mode in which the detectives are operating, and the testimony in answer thereto, that fraudulent impersonation, misrepresentation, lying, deceit, treachery, liquor and intoxication coupled with promises of immunity and the excitement of hope and fear and the offer of employment and remunerative wages, have been resorted to to secure the testimony sought for, and that the so-called confessions are not confined to such as affect the parties making them or to those affected by them who may be present when such confessions are made, but extend also to those not present when they are made, but who are absent and without knowledge of what is transpiring, and without any opportunity whatever to be heard in their own defense—even to make an objection that such statements and such confessions are untruthful. "Those facts make all such testimony utterly incompetent and worthless." LODGE REPLIES. When at 2:40 o'clock Mr. Foraker concluded, Senator Lodge took the floor saying he had only one comment to make on Mr. Foraker's remarks, that being in relation to the legality of the employment of Browne and Baldwin, "without reference to their methods or the merits of their work." He said expenditures had been made from the fund under President McKinley as well as President Roosevelt, and also by Mr. Root, President-elect Taft and Gen. Wright, each as Secretary of War. No voice had ever before been raised against its use and no constitutional provision, Mr. Lodge said, had been violated by these expenditures. The employment, of Browne, he said, was clearly not illegal, because he was not a detective by profession, and belonged to no agency. The clause under which objection to the employment is made is that "no employee of the Pinkerton or similar agency shall be employed in the Government services or by any officer of it or of the District of Columbia." Therefore, he said, the restriction could only apply to Baldwin, who was a professional detective. "It will appear from the President's message and the exhibits thereto attacned showing the mode in which the detectives are operating, and the testimony in answer thereto, that fraudulent impersonation, misresecestation, lying, deceit, treachery, liquor and intoxication, coupled with promises of immunity and the excitement of hope and fear, and the offer of employment and remunerative wages, have been resorted to to secure the testimony sought for, and that the so-called 'confessions' are not confined to such as affect the parties making them or to those affected by them who may be present when such confessions are made, but who are absent and without knowledge of what is transpiring and without any opportunity whatever to be heard in their own defense—even to make an objection that such statements and such confessions are untruthful. "Those facts make all such testimony utterly incompetent and worthless." Mr. Foraker presented letters from various men concerned in the alleged confessions on the shooting up of Brownsville denying in detail various statements made by the detectives. CONGRESS' INTENT. Going back to the "intent" of Congress in legislating against the employing of Pinkerton detectives, Mr. Lodge said it grew out of the armed conflict between hundreds of Pinkerton detectives and strikers at Homestead during the great strike there many years ago. Mr. Foraker replied briefly to Mr. Lodge by saying that if Congress had intended to prohibit the employment of armed detectives only they would have specified in the statute. This restriction was not inserted, he said, although in debate it was discussed. Mr. Foraker then asked that a date be fixed to vote on his bill providing for the re-enlistment of the discharged soldiers. Senator Clapp said he wished to vote for Mr. Foraker's bill, but wished it understood that that action had no connection with the propositions discussed to-day. Senator Warren as Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, said he could not agree upon a time to-day to vote on the bill, in view of the absence of Senator Frazier, of Tennessee, from the city, as Mr. Frazier wished to speak on the measure. The objection had the effect of postponing action. DONATION DAY AT MERCY HOSPITAL The following donations were received: Mrs. Martha Findley, $1.50 cash; Dr. G. W. Hubbard, $1.00; Mrs. G. W.

It is the custom for business concerns to offer to their patrons every year a calendar, and the consequence is that the concern is kept before the public every time the calendar is consulted. Then, too, it is serviceable, offering information not gained elsewhere. The most unique calendar ever offered to the Nashville public is the one put out by Mr. W. H. McGavock and Company, Undertakers and Professional Embalmers. There are pictures of one hundred and eighteen children on this calendar ranging in ages from six months to eleven years. They come from the most representative families in this great city. It will be cherished as a new move and will be looked upon in years to come as a historical feat. Babies of to-day twenty years hence will look back to this splendid move on the part of Mr. McGavock, the manager of the concern, as a new epoch in history. In fact, the calendar itself, containing the likenesses of these children puts them from now on in the public's eye and each face represented on it can have none other than a glorious future brought on by an early ambition which must be inspired by such an undertaking. The supply was limited, and Mr. McGavock has not been able to even satisfy his friends and many patrons. McMINNVILLE NOTES Lewisburg M. E. Church, of McMinnville Circuit, closed its two weeks' revival a few Sundays ago. Rev. W. H. Rucker, the pastor, was assisted by Mrs. Lue Allen, an evangelist of Nashville. This is said to be the best revival that has been held at this church for several years. There were fifteen added to the church.
