VOL. 27.NO 45 COWARDLY ASSAULT HEFFLIN OF ALABAMA SHOOTS TO KILL. Hefflin, of Alabama, shot and seriously wounded a white and a colored man last Friday evening, March 27, while on his way to delevire a temperance lecture in the Metropolitan Church. Two colored men were in an Avenue street car in which this Congressman and his friend were, when Hefflin saw a colored fuan pull from his pocket a bottle containing liquor. These men, from the evidence, were doing nothing. There was no evidence of disorderly conduct whatever by either man. Becoming very much enraged at the sight of a colored man, as he (Hefflin) stated, drinking whiskey from a bottle in the presence of a lady, Hefflin ejected from the car the colored man, with whom he had a scrap, and struck him and at the same time shot him and seriously wounded a white man by the name of Thomas McCreary. Heflin, after ejecting and striking the colored man, whose name is Lundy, he (Heflin) returned to the car and fired several shots through the window, which has been denounced as most cowardly. Heflin claims that he had a permit from the judges of the Police Court to carry a gun. Both judges deny that either ever granted Heflin a permit. Prosecuting Attorney James L. Pugh, Jr., stated last Monday that Heflin did have a permit, and it would have been better if the judges had not made that statement. There is not much weight attached to the alleged anonymous letter claimed to have been received by Heflin. Although there have been several versions of the affair, it appears that Mr. Heflin, in company with Representative Edwin J. Ellerbe, of South Carolina, boarded an east-bound 14th Street car while in front of the Postoffice Building, shortly after 7:30 last Friday evening. It was a two-car trolley train, and when Messrs. Heflin and Ellerbe took seats in the trailer there were four other passengers—two colored men, a lady and a white man. The colored men appeared to be intoxicated, and as the car proceeded they engaged in a discussion apparently concerning the division of a quantity of whiskey or gin which one of them had in a bottle. Mr. Heflin remonstrated with them as to drinking on the car and in the presence of a lady, and the men, after a little loud conversation, were apparently satisfied to let the matter drop. At Sixth street Representative Ellerbe, who resides at the Metropolitan Hotel, left the car. Scarcely had the car started when the two men, evidently satisfied that they could overcome any objection, physical or otherwise,which one white man might interpose, again produced the bottle of liquor and started to drink it. They paid no attention to Mr. Heflin's remonstrance, and then the real trouble began. Grabbing the man nearest him, Representative Heflin, who is large and powerful, ejected him from the car and followed suit with the second individual. The car was stopped, and both men returned to the attack. Representative Heflin says one of them, and he thinks it was Lundy, made a motion as though to draw a weapon, and to repel the attack he pointed his revolver out of the car window and fired twice. Both bullets, he says, were directed toward the ground, but at the second shot Lundy screamed, turned to run, and fell to the street. The first bullet glanced from the sidewalk and struck Thomas McCreery, who was standing in front of the St. James Hotel. Policeman Scriven, who was standing at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, ran to the car and placed Mr. Heflin under arrest. At the same moment Representative Ellerbe, who had not reached the hotel, ran to the car and jumped aboard, and it was at his order that the car was started toward the Capitol. Justifies His Action "I was clearly justified in what I did," said Representative Heflin on the floor of the HouseSaturday morning in discussing the shooting with friends. "I have since learned that the Negro was a dangerous character with a bad court record." Mr. Heflin today gave out copies of some of the threatening letters he said he had received following his proposal to provide for "Jim Crow" cars in the District, and which led him to secure permission to go armed. Following is one of these letters; "Prepare to meet your God; go guarded night and day from now on until your death. Fear and tremble! There is not a step between you and death. Vile, wretch, every person who fears God and loves justice is against you because you would add to the already unjustly oppressed. Go guarded and well armed. Patience has ceased to be a virtue. The South is the property of the colored man." Here's part of another letter: "Let you and your friends some fine afternoon in a crowded car arise and give a bevy of colored ladies your seats, not forgetting to proclaim who you are, and if there should be any colored gent in the car he will follow your magnanimous example." "Jim Crow" Amendment. Mr. Heflin introduced his "Jim Crow" amendment to the Union Station Trackage bill and made a speech in support of the measure. On the next day, the 23d of February, he received the following letter: "As assuredly as you attempt to interfere with the harmonious relations now existing between the races in the District of Columbia, as certainly will your life pay for the privilege. "This is applicable to all Southern members likely to crave for glory and a halo. It is as easy to 'remove' an 'objectionable' of your stamp in this Capital as a grand duke in St. Petersburg. "You will be warned no more. Remember, Caesar made light of the swords soon to be reeking with his blood, and an eye has been upon you all session in anticipation of such an outbreak. (Signed) "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL." cluded from His Meeting. Special to The Bee. Charleston, W. Va.—Last Sunday night William Jennings Bryan lectured in this city on "The Prince of Peace," but no Negroes were admitted to any part of the Opera House, not even to the gallery. A squad of city police was stationed at the entrance with instructions not to admit any Negroes, and the statement was given out that neither Mr. Bryan nor the Democratic party desired the Negroes' attendance or support. Colored men of this city were thunderstruck. Never in the history of this city have they been so discriminated against. And to think that this is the man so many Negroes have been talking about supporting in case Secretary Taft should be nominated! The white Republican sentiment of West Virginia is decidedly for Taft, and since this Bryan incident the Negro sentiment is going to him also. At least it may be depended upon that no Negro in West Virginia will vote for William Jennings Bryan. He and his party have served notice on us that we are not wanted. GREAT UNION REVIVAL WILL CLOSE. Last Sunday a large congregation greeted Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, N street northwest between Ninth and Tenth streets, at both services. At the close Dr. Drew made an appeal to the unsaved, and fully twenty-five persons came forward for prayer and confessed Christ Next Sunday, April 5th, at 10.30 a.m., subject will be "The Well of Salvation;" at 12 m. baptizing; at 7.30 p.m., subject "Should All Christians be, Baptized?" to be followed by the colobraton of the Communion and the hand of fellowship extended to new members.

WASHINGTON,ID.C., SATURDAY APRIL 4, 1908. ATTORNEY JOHN E. COLLINS ARRESTED AND ASSAULTED UNJUSTLY A CASE FOR THE TRIAL BOARD. Attorney John E. Collins, of the local bar, who was unjustly assaulted and placed under arrest Saturday, March 28, made the following statement to a representative of The Bee Tuesday morning: On Saturday, March 28, at about 8.05 p.m. I boarded an east-bound car of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., being a car on the Metropolitan Line. At the corner of New Jersey avenue and C street, in front of the old B. & O. Depot, an elderly colored man boarded the same car, which was crowded at the time. I was on the last seat in the trailer and he stood directly behind me, with one hand on the back of my seat. The conductor immediately demanded his fare, and, he appearing not to hear, struck him a forcible blow on his hand. He then seized the old 145 RICHARD·BARTHOLDT. is believed by will pros- Pinchback entertained ating by Hon. the Navy or says that and elected States. It is grow- man and, jerking him into the car, demanded his fare. again. The old man said, "Here's your fare." The The conductor took it, saying, as he did so, "You better had paid it." The conductor then went into the front car. When the car had about reached Delaware avenue three or four young white men who were standing on the rear platform of the trailer began to address rude and insulting remarks to the old man. Among other things they said: "Yo'd better pay your fare, nigger," and "We shot one nigger in the neck last night, and we'll shoot you." The old man's reply was, "Gentlemen, I haven't done anything to you, why do you meddle with me?" "If you want to shoot me, here I am; shoot me." They said, "Oh, shut up; nigger." This continued until the car reached. Second and East Capitol streets, when the conductor, hearing the noise, came into the trailer and grabbed the old man and began to jerk and throw him about in the car. I had rang the bell after passing Second street, as I intended to get off at Third street to pay a call. But the car did not stop at Third street, going on toward Fourth. After the car had passed my corner I told the conductor that the old had not caused the trouble, and attempted to tell him who had. He at once turned toward me and demanded what had I to do with it, ordering me to leave the car. I told him that I had done nothing, and preferred to go on to the barn. He rang the distress bell, and some officers ran up, among them Sergeant Ryan and Officer Totten, of the Fifth Precinct, and Sergeant Walsh, of the Ninth. I knew them and called to Officer Totten, who was in front, and whom I recognized first. I asked him to come on the car so I could explain the trouble to him. Meanwhile the car had stopped on the west side of Fourth street. The conductor grabbed me and What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard I am satisfied that every citizen will be compelled to go armed if he wants protection. I noticed that colored agitators are urging the colored voters to support the Democratic party. The conduct of Heflin is very encouragin gto colored voters throughout the country. Benn Tilmann has about outlived his usefulness. He is going abroad for his health. Should he not return no one will grieve. The consensus of opinion is that the Burt-Patterson ticket will be elected. It is about time that a halt should be made on these oppressors of the colored people. There was never a more brutal assault committed than the recent assault upon Lundy last week by Congressman Heflin. Popular sentiment is against Heflin, and it is believed that the District Attorney will prosecute the case with vigor. Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback is in the city and was entertained at Gray's last Tuesday evening by Hon. Ralph Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department The Governor says that Taft will be nominated and elected president of the United States. The Burt-Patterson ticket is growing in strength. Dr. J. E. Sheppard, of Durham, N. C., is doing great work among his people. The colored Republicans of New York are in a mix-up over the removal of a colored janitor. The District Commissioners have taken a hand in local politics. Rounder. GIFT TO TUSKEGEE. New York, March 21. — Ninety wholesale dealers of the Second Internal Revenue District of New York City have just sent a check for nine hundred dollars to the Tuskegee Institute, as a volunteer contribution to the school, and in honor of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of the Second Internal Revenue District. These wholesale dealers have been led to show this token of respect to Collector Anderson because of the fact that he accepted checks from the dealers during the entire financial disturbance, and was perhaps the only Internal Revenue Collector in the whole country who did so. The check for nine hundred dollars was accompanied by a strong letter of endorsement of the business qualities of Collector Anderson, and in entire approbation of his rare tact in handling the delicate situation which developed during the financial disturbance of October and November.

I made every possible effort to explain the situation to Sergeant Ryan and Officer Totten and one other officer, whose name I do not know, although I know him by sight. They would not hear me, but seized me and forced me off, against the protest of several citizens, white and colored. I asked to be allowed to get the names of some witnesses, as several gentlemen offered me their names and addresses. This the officers refused to do. I am now engaged in an effort to locate the persons who saw the affair. I did not resist arrest, nor attempt to fight the conductor or anyone else. THE COMING ELECTION: The coming election of delegates to the National Republican Convention seems to lack that enthusiasm that used to characterize the election of delegates years ago. The selfishness, trickery and demogogery that have existed seemed to put many of the ambitious out of the running. There should be honesty in politics as well as in other things. Some men allow their ambition to run away with their better judgment and sooner or later they meet an untimely political death. The ambitious demagogue who has been playing hot and cold will soon realize that there is honesty in politics. The Bee has been honosetin its advocacy of men and measures. Its record is clean, hence it has nothing to, regret. There are two tickets in the field at present. Which will receive the support of the people? Which ought to receive the people's support? The people must decide. LAWS RELATING TO WOMAN AND CHILD LABOR AND TO FACTORY INSPECTION. Bulletin No. 73, of the. Bureau of Labor, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, just issued, gives in full the text of the laws which had been enacted up to the end of 1907 for the purpose of regulating the employment of women and children. another article presents the laws relating to factory inspection and the health and safety of employees. These laws are annotated with brief references to such decisions of the courts as have been rendered in regard to the provisions of these laws during the short period they have been in effect. The two classes of laws contained in this bulletin are closely related, the increased employment of women and children in recent years having led to the enactment into law of many special provisions designed to safeguard the health and safety of employees. Both subjects are among those most often before the Legislatures of the various States, and Legislative action from year to year gives evidence of the increasing demand on the part of the public for improved conditions in factory employment, especially as regards women and children. All of the States and Territories have at various times enacted laws regulating the employment of women and children, and, during 1907, twenty-eight of them added to or modified their laws relating to this subject. Factory inspection and the health and safety of employees have been the subject of Legislative action in thirty-nine of the Ststea, and Territories. These include all those States in which manufacturing or mining employs any consilerable number of persons. New laws touching this subject were put upon the statute books in fourteen States during the Legislative session of 1907. ANOTHER UNITED STATES ATTORNEY. Mr. S. Laing Williams, of Chicago, Illinois, through President Roosevelt, has been appointed assistant United States Attorney at Chicago. This is the third colored man to be appointed assistant United States Attorney: Lewis in Boston, Mass.; Cobb, in this city, and Williams in Chicago. There are several more appointments to come.

As in all other phases of life the temperance cause has many champions who are dangerous. The Congressman who shot two men last week was on his way to a Methodist church to deliver a temperance lecture, with a loaded revolver on his person. All law makers are not law keepers, as was proven by the act of Congressman Heflin last week. Notwithstanding the fact that Congressman Heflin was on his way to make a lecture against strong drink when he slo two men last week, after his arrest he was glad to accept the only available bondsman, a man engaged in the liquor traffic for a living. Rev. Walter Brooks, of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, was in Atlantic City last week, and preached while there at Shiloh Baptist Church. Rev. S. H.

Collins, of the local bar, who was unjustly assaulted and placed under arrest Saturday, March 28, made the following statement to a representative of The Bee Tuesday morning: On Saturday, March 28, at about 8.05 p.m. I boarded an east-bound car of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., being a car on the Metropolitan Line. At the corner of New Jersey avenue and C street, in front of the old B. & O. Depot, an elderly colored man boarded the same car, which was crowded at the time.

All law makers are not law keepers, as was proven by the act of Congressman Heflin last week. Notwithstanding the fact thatCongressman Heflin was on his way to make a lecture against strong drink when he sio two men last week, after his arrest he was glad to accept the only available bondsman, a man engaged in the liquor traffic for a living.

Chicagoan, with Dr. William Levingston for Twelve Years, Says Man Admitted He Was Parent of Famous John D. New York.—Many additional facts about the dual life led by Dr. William Avery Rockefeller, father of John D. Rockefeller, are supplied by Dr. Charles H. Johnston, his assistant and business partner for 12 years. In those years Dr. Rockefeller went under the name of Dr. William Levingston, but to his partner, Dr. Johnston, so the latter declares, he revealed the secret of his life—that he was Rockefeller and that John D. Rockefeller was his son. Dr. Johnston is president of the College of Medicine and Surgery in Chicago. He explains: "It was in 1874 that I paid him $1,000 and became his student and assistant. He was living then in Freeport, Ill., as Dr. William Levingston, and he never posed under any other name thereafter. His wife, Mrs. Margaret Allen Levingston, living yet in Freeport, was one of the sweetest women I ever knew. I did not know until years afterward that he had two wives, one the mother of John D. Rockefeller. She lives in Cleveland, O. "Dr. Levingston and I traveled over all the west, through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotaas, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. It is not true that he sold medicines in the street. 'He had a fine team of horses, the best that money could buy, and a fine carriage in which we drove from town to town. He would have a string of eight or ten towns at once. He would drive into a town, scatter handbills, in which the great Dr. Levingston asserted that he could cure all diseases, and we would have a suite of rooms at the best hotel, and to the doctor there would come the sick and the halt and the lame. In all cases of common alliments he could detect the cause almost at a glance. "He made a great deal of money. He often took in $200 in a day, and if he took only $100 he thought it a poor day's business." "I knew from the first that there was some deep mystery in his life, but it was several years before I suspected that he was Rockefeller, and it was several years more before he acknowledged to me that his name was DR. W. LEVINGSTON William A. Rockefeller and that John D. Rockefeller was his son. "In all the years I was with him the old man went twice a year to Cleveland and stayed a week or two. He told me he went there to look after his money invested with John D. Rockefeller, and he would tell me wonderful stories of John D.'s shrewdness and great wealth." Dr. Johnston showed several letters, postmarked Cleveland, O., and signed William Levingston, M. D. "I first learned positively that Dr. Levingston was Dr. Rockefeller when he was injured on a ranch in North Dakota and thought he was going to die. He and I went to North Dakota together in 1881, and took up adjoining homestead claims where the town of Park River is. We were building a shed for a cattle shelter and in lifting a heavy log he strained himself. He was an old man then, and he thought he had ruptured an intestine. The pain was great and he thought he was dying. I asked him if I should send for his wife, Mrs. Levingston, if he should die, and he said: "No; notify John D. Rockefeller, but be very careful and let no one else know it." "When he got well I told him I knew he was John D. Rockefeller's father. At first he denied it and then he said it was true. He told me that the reason he kept it secret was that he found it necessary in his younger days to assume a name because he was practicing medicine without license. He might be arrested any time and he did not wish to disgrace the name of Rockefeller because of his children. He stuck to the name later, he said, because it was then too late honorably to take his right name." Punishment for Luxemburg Tramps The Luxemburg government is treating incorrigible vagabonds to bread and water for the first four days of their imprisonment, and to the lowes scale of ordinary diet twice a week afterward. The prizes are said to be emptying fast. To make cottage cheese, use clabbered milk that is stiff. Put on the fire and stir until curd has formed. When cooked—do not boll—strain through a colander, after which it will be ready for use. The following savory dishes may be made with the curd: Cottage cheese breakfast dish—To one pint of the curd add one tablespoonful of butter. Mix well, add salt and pepper to taste, after which add one well-baten egg. Have skillet piping hot with a little butter melted therein. Turn the curd and stir constantly until the whole has become melted like wax. Serve in a hot dish with toast. Cottage cheese luncheon dish—Prepare as for breakfast, add a half-cup of grated cream cheese. When well melted pour into a mold and put in ice box. Slice and serve with pie. Luncheon dish—Mix with the curd a little cream and a dash of salt, add a cupful of Maraschino cherries or a cupful of seeded raisins cut in half with scissors. Cottage cheese salad—Place some of the curd in a dish, mixing with it a little cream and mayonnaise dressing. Serve on lettuce leaves and wafers. Cottage cheese sandwiches—Serve the above salad on thin slices of bread, lightly buttered. Serve on lettuce leaves. The above curd prepared with cream and a little tart jelly added will be found to be delicious as a meat relish. DRESSING FOR THE SALAD. Properly to Mix Ingredients Is the Whole Secret of Success. Rub an ice-cold bowl with a piece of garlic. Also rub with the garlic the crusty end of a piece of French bread. Place the bread beneath the leaves of the salad, letting it remain until the dressed salad is served. Into the cold garlic-rubbed bowl put three-fourths of a tablespoonful of salt, black pepper and Hungarian paprika sifted together. Pour in two full tablespoonfuls of the best olive oil. Mix thoroughly with silver fork or spoon and add one tablespoonful of lemon juice. When the oil and lemon juice are thoroughly blended add a scant tablespoonful of vinegar and stir until the mixture is thoroughly smooth. If an oily dressing is desired omit the vinegar. Cut the top from a fresh green pepper, place in the bowl and pour the dressing into it. Let the whole stand for five minutes. Drain the dressing from the pepper and pour it over the crisp salad, serve in five minutes or longer. This recipe provides enough for two individual portions of salad. Indian Curry. Take 1½ pounds of mutton and after seasoning with pepper and salt cover it with water and simmer until it is tender. Boll one pound of rice separately. After the mutton is tender melt, in another pan, one tablespoonful of butter and one tablespoonful of lard and in this fry one large onion; add, and cook for a minute, two level tablespoonfuls of curry powder, then add the broth from the nutton and thicken with two tablespoonfuls of flour. Add to this one-fourth cup of shredded cocoanut and the juice of half a lemon and pour the mixture over the meat. The rice should be garnished with raisins and almonds fried in butter, and if a banana is sliced up and eaten with each portion of the rice and curry it makes a good and wholesome meal. Sweetbreads with Peas. Take three palrs of sweetbreads and cut each one into four slices, season with salt and pepper and roll in flour. Fry in porcelain lined frying pan in butter for five or six minutes on each side. Remove and put on hot platter around the edge and cover with the following sauce: Mix together a scant ounce of butter, a half a teaspoon of lemon juice, good pinch of salt and dash of white pepper. Mix together with a fork and spread over the sweetbreads. In the center of the platter arrange a can of French peas which have been heated with butter. Sweetbread Patties Cook a pair of sweetbreads until tender, in a very little water, take out and chop fine, season with salt and pepper. Keep the water in which the sweetbreads were cooked, add to it half a pint of cream, tablespoon of butter and two of flour blended to thicken it. Throw in this dressing the chopped sweetbreads, and just before serving add three hard boiled eggs chopped finely. Have your patty shells heated before filling, or use paper shells. Simple Ventilating Device. To ventilate a room having double windows that do not open bore a number of holes in the lower edge of the outer window frame and fit the holes with cork stoppers. The inner windows may then be raised and the corks taken out to admit fresh air.—Ladies' Home Journal. Prune Jelly Soak one-half package pulverized gelatine in one-half cupful cold water. Have 1½ quarts of stoned prunes with juice (hot) sweetened to taste. Pour all together and flavor with lemon. Pour in mold and let harden. Eat with whipped cream. Apricot Gelatine Take half a can of apricots and cut them into halves; make a well-sweetened lemon jelly with only one lemon, mix the two while warm and pour into a ring mold; serve very cold with cream. Bobbinet One of the Best of Materials That Can Be Used. Bobbinet is a material that can be nicely used for a bedroom set. The bedspread and bolster case, dresser cover and wash stand cover and numerous little fancy-work articles can be made with this durable, washable material. Some pretty designs in corner pieces can be worked with very coarse cotton floss. Either white or a color may be used. The bedspread should have a flounce, edged with narrow lace, and the bolster or pillow shams must be lace edged. Place it over a pink silkine cover. Beautiful beadheads can be made with lace curtains if four pieces can be found to match and pointed with strips of bobbinet 16 inches wide. One curtain, if doubled, will make a neat bolster cover. The bolster being much neater than pillows, it can be made with muslin and filled with fine shavings. False pillow shams can be made on a light wooden frame, using thin pieces of wood like those placed in the bottom of window curtains. A square of muslin is tacked very tight to one side, then it is lightly padded with shavings or cotton, and a cover drawn over the top, and either glued or tacked in place. These false shams will not weigh over a pound apiece and a bed looks much neater if the lace shams have a substantial backing. These sell for two dollars in the furniture store, but any woman could make a pair at home. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Never heat or stir cereals or rice with a spoon. It makes them pasty. Use a plated or a silver fork. Cake icing will not crack when cut if a little thick cream is added to it. Allow one teaspoonful to each white of egg. To prevent hands from getting cold while hanging up clothes, wipe hands dry and rub thoroughly with powdered starch. Milk will immediately and effectually extinguish the flames from gasoline or any form of petroleum, since it forms an emulsion with the oil. In washing dishcloths, instead of using soap or borax, put a quantity of soda in the water and boll the dishcloths. The grease and soda makes a soap that does its own work. A good combination for serving in grapefruit glasses or shells is pineapple and grapefruit. Shred both fruits and mix with sherry and a little sugar. Decorate with two or three maraschino cherries and serve very cold. Brown Cream Candy. A most delicious cream candy is made by mixing one cup brown sugar, one-half cup water, one pinch of cream of tartar; then placing the mixture on a moderate fire to boll until it makes a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Do not stir the mixture when the sugar is once dissolved. When done, pour on a cold platter and place the platter-in cold water; do not scrape the pan. When the plate is cool enough to allow the hand to hold it, it should be removed from the water and beaten with a silver knife or wooden spoon. When creamy and dry it should be taken into the hands and kneaded until smooth; then it should be molded into shapes. Nuts, dates or figs may be used by being kneaded in if desired. To Clean Walls. Burlaped or papered walls may be brushed with a new broom covered with a hood of cheesecloth, which must be removed and shaken when dusty. Bread crumbs and a pencil eraser will remove many ugly marks from wall paper. Magnesla often removes grease marks. A weak solution of borax and water will remove the greasy black stains that mar delicate wood or paints. Use kerosene in the water when wiping varnished wood work. No difference how good a furniture polish you use, always rub off every particle of grease with dry cloths, or it will accumulate dust and the dust is more difficult to remove than the grease. Bacon Fritters. Cut fresh pork into pieces about half an inch square and fry until done, but not brown. Take one cup flour, one cup southern cornmeal, one teaspoonful saleratus, a pinch of salt and enough sour milk to make a stiff batter. Beat one egg up stiff and light, mix up batter well and add the cooked pork, stirring just enough to mix well Fry in skillet and eat with good southern molasses. Apple Chutney. Chop and mix together 12 peeled apples, two green peppers, one cup of seeded raisins and one large onion. Into this mixture stir a pint of vinegar, the juice of three lemons, two cups of brown sugar, one tablespoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of ginger. Scald all together, pack into jars and seal. Harlequin Cake. One egg beaten light, beat into this one cup sugar, one-half cup butter, one-half cup milk, speck of salt, two scant cups flour, two spoons baking powder. Divide into thirds. In one put chocolate, in another vanilla, in the other strawberry. Bake in one sheet in layers. Frost with straw berry frosting. For the Pastry Cook. When making apple or any fruit pie always place the quantity of sugar required on lower crust first and you will never have a runover ple. In mincepat or any meat pie insert a paper chimney or funnel in upper crust, and no more tears will be shed over a leaky ple. THE COMING ELECTION. How the District Will Be Divided.

Preventive Measures Will Profong its Life and Usefulness. ‘There seems to be a popular Impres- sion, according to Good fousekeep- {ng, that an orfental rug will wear for- ever, no matter what sort of treatment it receives, but this Is one of those mistakes which are often discovered too late to be recsifed.

It tho overcasting on the edge is gone or giving way, a thread‘of carpet wool or yarn will supply new overcasting and give new resistance. If a warp or weft thread on the back Is broken, it should not be left to slip out, taking ‘the knots with it, but should have a Inen thread tied to it at one end, be woven over and under as far as the break extends, and then be tled at the other. If knots conie out they should be ‘replaced at once with the ald of a coarse, old-fashioned worsted needle. If the selvage wears crooked, it should be raveled out and overcast, saving the surplus wool for other re- pairs, All these are valuable pre- Ventive measures.

ALLISON CELEBRATES SEVENTY- NINTH BIRTHDAY. Colleagues In Congress Unite In Ex- tending Congratulaticns — Was Once Very Near Republican Nomination for Presidency. ‘Washington.—Senator William Boyd Allison of Towa recently celebrated his seventy-niuth Lirthday, and his col- Teague, both Republicans and Demo- crats, united in pxtending their con- gratulations, for few members are more popular than the aged Iowan, Senator Allison hasroken all pre- vious records for length of service and attained a maximum ‘degree of per sonal Influence and unusual domina- tion of public affairs, He fs the leader of the senate of the United States, with all that this leadership means fn power and ability to create and con- trol legislation. It Is sald, and prob- ably with truth, that there is more of Senator Allison's influence and char- acter written into the statute books to-day than of efther President Roose- velt or Speaker Cannon, both of whom are considered to have contributed an unusual share to the lawmaking of the present generation. 7 Senator Allison's personal ‘history, briefly told, {s that he was* born in Perry, O., on March 2, 1829, and after attending Western Reserve college studied law and practised in Ob{o un- til 1857, when he removed to Iowa.

On occasions Senator Allison bas been very rear to the nomination of his party for the presidency, some be- Heve much nearer than Thomas B, Reed, Roscoe Conkling, or even John Sherman, He would have undoubtedly made a good president, the equal of many and the superior of some, had the fortune of politics turned his way. “During the progress’ of financial legislation In the present congress he has been often consulted and, as the ranking member of the senate com- mittee on finance, has taken a .qulet and unostentatlous but conservative and helpful part in the framing of legislation which witl relleve the coun- try from the conditfons which resulted in the panic of 1907. Senator Allison is the author of the Internal revenue law of 1868, the es- sential features of which are still in force. Prior to its passage the tax on distilled spirits was two dollars a gal- lon and the revenue therefrom about $14,000,000, while during the first year following the passage of the Allison act the tax, while reduced to 75 cents, amounted Uirengh the elimination of frauds aud its proper collectien, to 36,009,000. He was chairman of a special com- mittee which spent the summer of 1874 Investigating the government of the District of Columbia, The bill drawn by him as a result of this work repealed existing laws and created the present form of government, with three commlsstoners appointed by the president.

It will be remembered that Helfin asserted that President Roosevelt and Dr. Booker T. Washington ought to be blown up with a bomb. Now that he is in the clutches of the law for making a deadly assault upon a fleeing Negro, right here at the Nation's Capital, he should be given the fullest extent of the law. Heflin is no more than any other individual, and a great deal less than many who belong to the inferior class, who would never have committed such a dastardly assault. Because the assaulted man has a police record does not justify an assault of any kind. Then, again, this record was not known to Heflin. Then, again, Heflin is a lawmaker and not a lawbreaker. Then he is supposed to be a lawkeeper, but in all of his utterances he has demonstrated the fact that he is a lawbreaker. Every human being is entitled to the protection of the law, no matter what his record may be. Heflin's declaration that the judges of the Police Court had given him permission to cary a gun was all subterfuge, and so far as threatening letters having been sent to Heflin, that is another subterfuge for his rash act. If the letters published are of the character of the letters alleged to have been received by him, The Bee is of the opinion that no colored person wrote them, because so far as the colored people in this city are concerned they did not give his alleged "Jim Crow" car bill a thought. The people as well as The Bee knew that no such a bill could pass Congress, hence it is not believed that any colored person wrote him such letters. Heflin was on his way to church to deliver a temperance lecture, and is it not surprising that he was compelled to get a whiskey man to go on his bond? He was going to condemn the very man who went his surety. What became of those patriotic friends of Heflin — men of property — that he was forced to get a whiskey man to go his bond? Strange things happen sometimes. The Bee does not encourage disorder upon the street cars by anyone, black or white. There is no evidence that Lunsby was disorderly, notwithstanding his alleged police record. All Heflin had to have done was to have called the attention of the conductor to any disorderly conduct that was being committed. But from all the evidence it seems that the conductor saw no violation of the United States or the District laws or police regulations so far as the colored man was concerned. NOTHING TO DO. Does it ever occur to the col- ored people in this city that the Colored Business High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School graduate every year hundreds of boys and girls? Does it ever occur to the colored people that there is nothing for these graduates to do after their graduation? Is it not hard and humiliating to the parents as well as to these graduates to see their daughters rolling a baby carriage, washing dishes, or cleaning up some dirty and filthy room or a house, and their sons driving ash carts or slinging dishes in some hotel or restaurant. What else is there for these graduates to do? The young colored girl has no inducements offered her, unless it is to be compelled to sacrifice her honor. There is today existing in this city a certain department house in which young colored girls are employed and who are compelled to sacrifice their honor under the threat of being discharged. This information is in possession of The Bee. It is a sad picture. There are today hundreds of young colored men and women who are graduates of our schools barely existing. What is the Negro pulpit doing? What is the so-called well-to-do Negro doing for his sons and daughters? It is a mistaken idea for a father to have that he must cease supporting his daughter after she arrives at the age of twenty-one. The young girl who is out of employment is very often compelled to do that which she would not otherwise do, had it not been for her stingy father. Some men are pretentious. They will make a big show on the outside and allow their families to suffer at home. The young colored girl has not the same opportunity of earning a livelihood as the young white girl. This talk that Negroes should not patronize white department stores that refuse to employ colored girls as saleswomen is a weak argument to make for the good of the colored race. The Negro must open his own department stores and other business enterprises; then he will not be dependent on the white man. While the disgruntled Negroes of New York were assembled in mass meeting in New York, listening to the inflammatory speeches of Bishop Walters, Max Barber et al., Representative Heflin, of Alabama,a Southern Democrat, was going armed to shoot down some defenseless Negro. In the same morning papers that carried an account of the Negroes' meeting in New York, in which they were denouncing, without rhyme or reason, and in the most abusive language, the President and Secretary Taft, there also appeared the startling news that Representative Heflin, of Alabama; a Southern Democrat, had shot down from a street car in Washington, D. C., within but a few blocks of the nation's splendid Capitol Building, an unarmed Negro. And the Negro was on the street, while Representative Heflin, coward that he is, was shooting at the Negro through the car window. This is the answer; this is another answer to those Negroes that are advising that the Negro vote bolt the Republican nominee for President. Representative Heflin had no provocation to shoot. The Negro was unarmed; and, to add to the shocking affair, there were white ladies in the car, and a white man also received one of the bullets fired from Representative Heflin's gun. When the Democratic party adopts a platform identical in tone with the Republican platform, and when the Democratic party concedes to the race, North and South, all the rights and privileges vouchsafed by the Constitution, and when the Democratic party ceases to be ruled by the Negro-hating, Negro-baiting, white Southern, Congressmen, then will The Bee advocate that Negroes may vote the Democratic ticket. Until then we repeat our platform of last week's issue: The Bee is for the Republican party, with or without Taft as the nominee. BRUCE AND LANGSTON. In speaking of Negro leadership, perhaps there never were two men more dissimilar than Bruce and Langston. Blanch K. Bruce was a politician. There were many people who did not know Mr. Bruce. His enemies would under-rate his ability. Bruce was the most astute and far-seeing politician in the Negro race. It is true Mr. Bruce was ambitious and was more inclined to help his enemies than he would his friends. He would have a knowledge of the enmity of those against him, but they could never discover it from his actions. And very often those whom he helped and placed in positions were those who would give him no credit. Those he helped, which numbered over hundreds, when he would be in need of their services he could never command them. His last great fight for the Register of the Treasury found him with only four persons at the seat of war to help him. The man who knocked his enemy out was closer to Mr. Bruce than any other man in public life and received less after his victory. Langston was a statesman, orator, and scholar. He believed in the young man. Mr.Langston was unlike Bruce, or Douglass. Langston believed in the young man, and never lost an opportunity to help them. While Langston had sons and daughters, he never believed in nepotism. While it is true that he would defend the interests of his sons, you would never see him attempting to place them in office. Bruce had no prejudices. He may have manifested some selfishness and jealousy. He was surrounded by selfish influences which he did not see until it was too late. Bruce was liberal to a fault. Langston in a political contest would spend his money as freely as water would run down a hill. There was a rivalry between Douglass and Langston, but Langston never would give vent to any feeling that he may have had against Douglass, as Douglass would against Langston. The cause of this misunderstanding The Bee has never been able to ascertain. If Langston ever made you a promise you could always rely on it. He was never the man to present one's claims behind closed doors. Langston was afraid of no man. WILL IT BENEFIT HIM? The next political contest will be the hottest and the most serious that has ever occurred. Some few colored political agitators have declared that they would rather support the Democratic party than any Republican named by the party. Admitting that the Republican Administration and many Republicans have been false to the colored citizens, has the Democratic party or the representatives of that party made sufficient or any inducements President Roosevelt is committed to a great task, and the patriotism of the American people is interested in the issue. He wants the national power to be extended to national questions. He wants to curb the provincialism of States and the commercialism of individuals; to keep under control, as much as possible, the tyranny of the ones and the activity of the others. It so happens that suffrage qualification is still within the province of the States, but the day may, and should, come when the people will remove that reserve and transfer it to the National Government for Federal regulation, just as they have done for the boll weevil and the gypsy moth. When that time comes, and come it must, it is stated that we will witness the sublime wisdom of the President's policy. For prudential reasons it may be well that the colored people of this country should cease to antagonize the President, and, instead, endeavor to cultivate his friendship, just as the weak should seek and cultivate the friendship of the strong. The Bee hopes that this question of suffrage may soon be transferred to the National Government for regulation, and no longer left with the States. Let us get on good terms with our public men, especially those of the Republican party, and help them think as we do that all parts of the Constitution are sacred, and should be sacredly observed — the parts that are new no less than the parts that are old. All signs point to the nomiantion of Secretary Taft on the first ballot. It is no longer a theory, but a condition that confronts us. The sentiment of the members of Congress, as The Bee gleans it, is that it is now impossible to defeat the nomination of Mr. Taft. WHICH? The colored voters will very shortly be called to select their choice of principles, parties and men. They must decide between "Jim Crowism," the principles of Vardaman, Tillman, Thomas Dixon and their oppressive measures, which have disfranchised the colored people in this country. With all of its faults, the Republican party has never joined the conspiracy to eliminate the colored voter from the body politic and it has never given aid and comfort toHelfin of Alabama. Of course the colored man must do something. He must demonstrate to the world, notwithstanding the oppressive laws, he is able to withstand them. The principles of Vardaman, Dixon, Heflin and others mean that colored Americans have no rights which they must respect. The colored Americans have had enough to cause them to change their politics, but where are they to go is the burning question. Will the colored voter go to the party that has offered no consideration whatever? Must the colored Americans throw aside their pride and dumb their conscience, intoxicate their memory, and forget everything that made nations powerful and men great? Must he treat with those who carry in their hands the dagger of vengeance? Certainly the colored Americans will choose between that which is right and that which is wrong. The question is, Which? BRYAN AND THE NEGRO VOTE If there had been an inclination on the part of some Negroes to vote for Bryan, who will undoubtedly be the Democratic presidential nominee, that inclination must now appear revolting, after the treatment of Negroes in Charleston, W. Va., on Sunday evening, March 22. William Jennings Bryan, the "peerless leader," spoke in Charleston, his subject being "The Prince of Peace." In direct opposition, however, to his subject, policemen (white) were stationed at the entrance of the Opera House to prevent Negroes from gaining admission, the ukase going out that "the Democrats do not want the niggers." Now in Charleston, W. Va., there is domiciled the very type of Negroes. They are law-abiding, industrious, and as an evidence of their industry some of the finest homes in that city, and one of the handsomest and largest of that city's business blocks are the property of Negroes. To deny the Negroes of Charleston an opportunity to hear William Jennings Bryan is a clear announcement that Mr. Bryan neither seeks nor desires Negro support. In view of this The Bee cannot figure out how any Negro can consistently support Mr. Bryan or the National Democratic party. One thing is certain: The Bee will not, support him, no matter who the Republicans nominate. He said that one of the first things he ever learned was to "stand in" with the "white folks," and that it had stood him in good stead. In his twenty years' practice of law in the city he had made $300,000 by their co-operation, a small amount of which was still in his possession. He said that politics was the root of evil; that in reconstruction times he dared not address a white audience, and that incidentally he walked, and had no soles on his shoes, but that now since politics had been eliminated he wears good shoes and rides in a buggy. D. Webster Davis, in the midst of a fine piece of oratory, exclaimed: "I want to say to you that nothing is further from the minds of the sensible Negro men and women than this pipe dream of social equality. They could no more conceive of it than they could of damming James River with a spade, or pulling up the Rocky Mountains with a bob-tailed mule." ginning to recognize what Ohio has known for some time — that the Taft managers, for the sake of a clamorous Taft endorsement, betrayed the Republican party of the State into the hands of the bosses. The United States sees William H. Taft, the man whose speech at Akron is denunciation of George B. Cox contributed materially to the election of a Democratic governor of Ohio, in the attitude of accepting his Ohio O. K. "from the hands of this same Cox, rehabilitated through the connivance or active aid of the Taft managers." Foraker, who never achieved the reputation of not being a politician, who never worked for such a reputation, stands at present in a better light than does Taft. He had nothing to do with the Taft-Vorys-Cox-Brown-Guilbert convention — was practically repudiated by it, in fact. Should disaster come, as seems likely if the Ohio Democrats nominate a worthy ticket, Mr. Foraker will have much cause for satisfaction. The Washington Herald comments at length upon this situation. It believes that the defeat of the Republican ticket, predicted by many Ohio Republican newspapers, is by no means impossible. Even in a presidential year Ohio can be carried against Cox and Brown if the Democrats are brought to see the necessity of throwing off their own bosses and becoming the champions of independence rather than of petty partisanship.

Last Friday evening Miner Hall, for the first time in its history, witnessed a formal affair. The occasion was a supper given by some of the young ladies in honor of Miss Ardella Smith's eighteenth birthday anniversary. Young men in evening dress presented themselves at the door and were ushered into the two parlors in the annex. There they, sweetly welcomed by Miss Smith, were passed down a line of young ladies dressed in the delicate and dazzling gowns which fashion demands on such occasions. After most of the young men had arrived partners were selected and many sat down to games. Dancing was not allowed. At ten o'clock supper was announced. Eighteen young men with their fair partners, led by the young hostess and her partner, marched downstairs to the dining hall. The dining room was richly decorated with palms and flowers. The supper served was the acme of the caterer's art. Miss Jacobs sat at one end of the long, beautifully decorated table; Miss Messer at the other. In the center of the table in front of the hostess was a large cake supporting eighteen candles. After supper had been served the candles were lighted and the electric lights turned off. In the semi-gloom complimentary and congratulatory speeches were made by MissesJacobs, Slone, Kilbredth and Virginia Williams; also by Messrs. Harvey, Fleming, Cooke, Childs and Beamond.

D., LL.D., made the address of welcome, in which he portrayed the history of the Union, and enumerated many of its visissitudes, and admonished the delegates and friends to stick to the old ship and success would continue. The president then introduced Mr. W. Calvin Chase, who responded to the address of welcome. The speaker's familiarity with the workings and doings of the Union since its organization astounded the delegates, in that he possessed information that many of the regular attendants did not have. He knew personally those who aided and abetted to disrupt the Union in the past and present, and the devices resorted to to bankrupt and destroy the continuity of the institution, and could have called the names of the pastors and others who have failed to do their duty, and promises in the near future to publish in the organ of the Union the demagogues. Mrs. M. E. Wanzer, of the N. E. Baptist Sunday School, read a paper; subject, "False Pretenders in Churches, which evidenced much care in the preparation. Music was then rendered by the choir of the N. E. Baptist Sunday School. The president then introduced Mr. Armond W. Scott, who said in part that he was impressed with the institution because of its tenets as set forth in its constitution, and that this thing of certain people wanting to either rule or ruin is as common in the Church as out of it, and certain grafters and would-be ministers, instead of encouraging union in Christian work are impediments to sinners and are hypocrites in the Christian Church. That the ministry, above all, should aid in maintaining peace and harmony in the Sunday Schools and in the Sunday School Union, and if then you disagree they, as older and with experience as Christian fathers, should agree with neither side, but act the part of Christians and bring their children together, that peace and harmony might abide. The assemblage was then given a treat that will long be remembered by the musical lovers of this city. Madame E. P. Prioleau, soprano soloist, sang the "Heavenly Song" and "The Endless Day," accompanied on the piano by Prof. J. Cleveland Lomax. Madame Prioleau's voice was in excellent condition, and after her rendition she was the recipient of many congratulations. Visiting delegates were introduced, and the meeting adjourned to meet in April. ODD FELLOWS. The most powerful influx of fraternal gathering that ever occurred in the southwest section of the city will take place at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, D street betweenSecond and Third streets southwest, on Sunday night, April 12th, the occasion being the fortieth anniversary of Bloom of Youth Lodge, No. 1368, G. U. O. of O. F. The Lodge will be accompanied by the Silver Queen Household of Ruth, who are the daughters of the Bloom of Youth Lodge, in part by the John F. Cook and the Excelsior Lodges, also the Executive Committee of the District Grand Lodge, No. 20; the District Household, No. 1, and a large number of members from various Lodges and Households who have been invited. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. W. A. Ray, D.D., the pastor of said church, who is one of the most able pulpit orators in the A. M. E. Zion connection. The Order will assemble in the basement of the Church at 7 p.m., and the services will begin at 7.30 o'clock. The Grand Master of the Order in America, Mr. William L. Houston, has been invited, and is expected to be present and will make an address after the sermon. Mr. Joseph D. Jones will represent the District government, and is the master of ceremonies. Mr. Jones is one of the most prominent Odd Fellows in the District of Columbia,and a young man highly thought of by that organization. MR. NEWSOM DOURTS Sir: It is exceedingly painful to me to be compelled to run counter to the opinions and wishes of our great leader and defender, Senator Foraker, in the choice of tickets in the local Republican contest for delegates to the Chicago Convention. Day by day the evidence is accumulating to prove that the Flathers-Horner ticket are not the true friends of Senator Foraker, but are Taft sympathizers in disguise. Senator oraker has been misled by someone; he is wrong in his opinion, the ante-election letters and pledges to the Senator to the contrary notwithstanding. If they are sincere friends and sympathizers of Senator Foraker and what he represents, what mean these frequent conferences at the Hitchcock headquarters which have been observed of late? The stakes are too great to run any risks of losing at this late hour. We have won too much already, under the masterful leadership of the Ohio Senator, to take any chances of losing much of the ground gained, and I for one shall cast my vote and influence for the Burt-Patterson ticket. John T. C. Newsom. SP IAL SONG SERVICE At Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Sunday night was excellent. Some of the attractiohs were: Lyric Orchestra, Metropolitan A. M.

OLD STAND. s1Gy or iE BIG OOK MR. EDWARDS HONORED. The Retiring Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Presented With a Beautiful Silver Service as One of the most popular officials ever connected with the Treasury Department was Mr. J. H. Edwards, who resigned the post of assistant secretary of that great department last week to accept a responsible work in the world of finance and business in New York city. In testimony of the esteem in which he is held by the colored clerks, messengers and laborers of the Treasury Department, a hundred or more of them assembled at Mr. Edwards' residence on the 17th inst. and presented him with a beautiful and handsomely engraved silver service. The name of each doctor, neatly engraved on parchment, with a beautifully worded inscription testifying their confidence and esteem, accompanied the magnificent gift. In a highly engaging manner and in most felicitous terms, Mr. George W. Pitts, clerk to the Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury, crowned the occasion with a fitting climax when he stepped forward and delivered the presentation speech. It was an oratorical effort of rare brilliance and its illuminating sentiment earned for him an enviable reputation as an accomplished eulogist. Mr. Pitts said in part: Dear Mr. Edwards: My associates in this department have selected me to represent them in presenting you this silver service. We give it to you as a token of our love and admiration. We beg of you to accept it as a small evidence of our esteem and appreciation of your uniform courtesy to us all, and also as a token of our undying friendship to you. May you, in your coming years, be lavishly endowed, with the blessing that "maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. May all your ways be pleasantness and all your paths be flowery paths of peace." Let me assure you that you shall always carry with you the best wishes of the donors of this service,whose names are hereon inscribed, and we hope that in using this service, you will often be reminded of the old department days. We feel satisfied that your official life has been well rounded in its usefulness, and beautiful in its simplicity and devotion to duty. Mr. Edwards, God bless you! We all wish you an abundance of health, wealth and happiness in your long journey through life; and remember that "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die!" To the colored employees intimately identified with him if the Treasury Mr. Edwards has been regarded as a truly "Good Samaritan," and they will never forget the helping hand he has so often and so generously extended to them. The fare-touching one, and seldom, if ever, has any official under the Government taken his leave amid so many striking demonstrations of sincere regret. It was truly fitting that there should have been given this substantial token of their affection, and Mr. Pitts cannot be praised too highly for his thoughtfulness in promoting the plan to allow their ex-chieftain to know that his co-laborers were not lacking in the gratitude that all should feel toward a benefactor unto the manor born.

Wilburt King, a prominent member of the Ohio bar, practicing at Columbus, has been in the city this week, assisting in handling Indian claims before the SupremeCourt of the United States. He is associated with the Hon. J. Milton Turner in this important work, and the brief filed by them is said to be one of the finest that has come before the nation's highest tribunal in many a day. It is not only interesting from the standpoint of right and justice in relation to the Negro and his Indian alliances, but is a valuable treatise on the entire subject that will live in history as standard information.

Mr. Campbell will be remembered gratefully by the race as the man who fought so, valiantly against the Heflin "Jim Crow" street car bill when it came before the House a few weeks ago, and who made such a hit last week at the BookerT.Washington meeting. Mr. William Jenifer, of the Census Office, has returned from quite a lengthy trip through the South, gathering statistics of the colored religious denominations.

A cordon of police was stationed at the outer doors to tell Charleston's well-to-do and industrious colored citizens that "No Negroes need apply." This is the treatment the Negro receives at the hands of the agents of the Democratic candidate for the presidency, and to whom certain leaders advise the colored voters to "bolt" in case they cannot dictate the nominee of the Chicago Convention. Most Negroes feel that the meanest Republican is preferable to a Democrat who would deny the black man the right to hear the message of the Master whom we all_profess to love and serve. ```markdown ``` convinced Brown was looking for trouble, was the aggressor, and therefore he would enter a noose prosequi in the case.
