VOL. XXIX NO 42 A Noble Roman Metropolitan Church Filled. Hundreds Turned Away. Attorney Scott's Great Speech. The largest meeting ever held in this city was the testimonial to Senator J. B. Foraker of Ohio. It was a demonstration long to be remembered. The meeting was called to order by-Mr. J. W. Cromwell, who was the first promoter of the testimonial. Seated upon the platform were many leading citizens. As a token of the esteem of dwellers in the District of Columbia of the colored race for Joseph Benson Foraker, the retiring Ohio Senator, because of what was termed his "heroic, noble and self-sacrificing work" in behalf of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a public reception was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E, Church, M street near 15th street, last Saturday night. A silver loving cup was presented to the Ohioan. The cup was purchased by subscriptions by Washington's colored population. The greeting to Senator Foraker, the guest of honor, was enthusiastic. The auditorium of the church was packed. Fully 300 belated arriyals were unable to gain entrance because of police orders that the doors be closed. Cheers for Foraker Every mention of Foraker's name was greeted with rousing cheers which time and again broke forth from the audience. The presentation address was delivered on the part of the subscribers to the cup by Armond W. Scott, a Washington lawyer. Senator Foraker, responding, paid his respects to the administration just ended, criticising what he termed an unjust prosecution on the part of the national government of 167 soldiers without the right of being heard in their own behalf. Reviewing in detail the Brownsville matter, so far as it related to Congress and the hearing before the military committee, Senator Foraker expressed satisfaction over the success of his bill to permit of the reinstatement of the dismissed soldiers. He declare he was firmly convinced the discharged men would be given every opportunity to clear themselves of the accusations under which they had suffered for the past two years and more. "My attention, was first called to the matter," said Mr. Foraker, "by reading in the daily press the executive order issued by President Roosevelt discharging these soldiers without the semblance of a trial, and upon the so-called charge of a "conspiracy of silence." It first astounded me. It seemed to me to be almost an impossibility. Soon, however, I was convinced of its genuineness and the full realization of the possible consequences and high-handedness of the act came to me with full force. "Every feeling of justice and right in me was aroused. Every soldierly instinct in me came to the front. I resolved then and there to take up the cause and see that justice was finally done them. "I did it. I say honestly and truthfully, with no thought of what it might mean to me politically or otherwise—my interests were subservient to what I termed my duty. I proceeded to do what I deemed was right and just. Warned Against Consequences "It was at a high school commencement that I made an address upon the Brownsville subject, in which I expressed my determination to fight for a hearing for these men and at least afford them an opportunity to give their side of the case. Then the first warning came to me that if I pursued such a course I would be 'eliminated'—that was the word used—politically. "Well, I have been. I have suffered and been punished for my short comings, and for performing what I deemed my duty. "Now that it is all over I can tell you, my friends, that when I espoused the cause of these men I did not calculate nor care who it struck nor who it embarrassed—It has embarrassed some, there's no doubts about that. I am out of the Senate. The only regret that I have in leaving it is that I may not officially have more opportunities to do what I believe right and just. "Every act in my life has been prompted by my judgment. If my judgment tells me a thing is right I do it, and the consequences are only with my Maker. If my judgment is not deemed of the best, or fails to suit those people whom I have served in my state, they have the right to select another man in my place. But whether I shall spend my remaining days in private life or shall hold office again, this judgment will always guide me in my duty." Mr. Foraker referred at length to the testimony of the Brownsville soldiers before the military committee, and referred to their bearing and stories of the trouble. "It was the plain, honest truth that they were telling, these men, he declared. "Their every action could not help but impress one with their honesty and sincerity. As a result of that hearing and seeing those men under the most adverse conditions, I am firmly convinced of the innocence of every one of them. Proved Administration Wrong "And now coming to the testimony of those detectives hired by the government—and they were paid $15,000 out of the United States Treasury for the work—I denounce it as absolutely false, not to use the stronger and uglier word. I have a right to declare it false because I proved it to be false. "It was this, in my opinion, more than anything else, which aided so materially in the passage of the Brownsville bill by Congress. And when finally I saw in the newspapers that the President had signed the bill, it was with the keenest satisfaction taht I permitted that Biblical phrase to pass my lips, "O Lord, lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace." "The then President is now at Oyster Bay, and I trust the sun shines as brightly for him as it does for me, or when one man is happy the world may be content. But when two men are happy it is that much more so." Urges Support for Taft In concluding his address, Senator Foraker made a stirring appeal to the colored race to support the administration of President Taft. "I believe firmly and truly that the present executive of the nation will perform his duties without fear or favor, equally for the white man as well as for the black man," he declared. "From what I know of him in the past, I can, with out fear, make such a declaration. Trust him, give him your confidence and aid him in every little way you can to successfully pro little way you can to successfully promote his policies. I feel sure his conduct of the nation's affairs will win your approval and approbation. "And now, in conclusion, I want to thank you, my frineds, for this cup. I shall always cherish it with the kindliest memories of your feelings for me, and shall always keep it and guard it in my home out in Ohio as one of my most treasured possessions." As Senator Foraker ended his speech the audience rose and cheered him for several minutes. As the enthusiasm died down he was the central figure of an impromptu reception. Many in the audience availed themselves of the opportunity to shake hands with him. The presentation speech was delivered by Attorney Armond W. Scott, of the local bar. It was a masterly effort on the part of this rising young Attorney. The speech was applauded to the echo. Mr. Scott spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I consider no honor in the gift of mankind, greater than the one accorded your humble servant, in representing you tonight in the fulfillment of this most pleasant duty on this most auspicious occasion We have assembled here with one accord to do honor to one of the world's greatest statesmen and one of the noblest humanitarians ever known to mankind.

To the Editor of The Bee: Washington, District of Columbia. Dear Sir: Having reached the limit of our itinerary, with the exception of Scotland, where we expect to make a short visit, enroute homeward, I take the liberty of writing this short letter to you and your numerous readers, many of whom are our personal friends. We have gotten much more out of our mid-winter trip than we expected, when we embarked on the great ship Carinina: for, instead of sailing without a stop, to Naples, we were allowed to land, for hours at all intermediate ports (except the Azores, where the sea was too high) including Madeira, Gibraltar, and Genoa: since landing, we have visited Naples, Rome, Florence, Paris and London, where we are at present. We have escaped the severe blizzards which are so dangerous to my bronchial tubes, at home; but rest assured, our pathway has not been bestrewn with roses since we left Madeira; there the air was warm and the atmosphere was laden with the sweet fragrance of roses, orange blossoms and other numerous shrubs. In Italy, after leaving Naples and the vicinity of Mount Vesuvius, the ice and snow, on the tops of high SURDAY MARCH 13, 1909 Washington. W. SCOTT. mountains have kept the temperature cold; so I would advise those looking for a warm clime during our midwinter months, not to go to "Sunny Italy" in quest of it. To make conditions worse, the great marble palaces in which are housed the vast stores of art treasures, are unheated, save by an occasional brazier, containing smoldering embers which one encounters here and there as he viegs the almost superhuman results of the imagination and skill of man. At Rome, we, with twenty-six others were received by the Pope, in the palace of the Vatican; where, kneeling each one kissed the ring of office and received a blessing pronounced by him. When I reflected that that one man is acknowledged by more than two millions of civilized human beings as the vice-gerent of Christ, and that in their hearts they love and venerate him as the legitimate successor of St. Peter, and the head of the Christian Church, upon this earth, I was proud of the opportunity of meeting him; and bowed my head in appreciation of the blessing which is so much needed by me, day by day. The Pope is large of stature, with well chiseled features and an abundance of white hair and a very kindly expression of countenance. On the occasion of our reception, he was robed in pure white, with a purple stole around his neck and in front; on his head he wore a small white skull-cap, such as the red skull-cap worn by cardinals. When he pronounced his blessing on us he stood just in front of a papal chair, which was placed beneath a red canopy, such as we had seen in other rooms, in the inner recesses of the palace. Under his feet was a mat of purple velvet, which lay upon a scarlet rug covering the whole room. His look was benignant,—full of kindness; while his voice was soft, gentle, soothing. We noticed in the room, while we were awaiting the appearance of the Pope, a military official in the full dress uniform of a general; the Pope himself was ushered into the room by an official of his household, clad in scarlet and purple, as I now recall him. Altogether, the occasion was one full of interest and benefit, I trust: an event which we can never forget. I must tell you by word of mouth; even then the half of it will not be told. Our own Clarence Cameron White, with his faithful wife and dear little ones, are here. Clarence and "Bede" are living cozily by economically; and are busy all the time: he is putting in six hours a day with his violin; while Mrs. White manages, even with the care of their children to practice on her piano, at least two hours a day. Mr. White is now being instructed by the famous Zacharewitsch, a Russian Pole, who has no equal in London, if indeed in the whole world, as a master of the violin. This great master, influenced in great part by the personal request and recommendation of Mr. S. Coleridge Taylor, has taken Mr. White under his instruction; and promises him taht he will introduce him to London at the great Albert Hall, if he will remain with him two years, and comply with all his rules. Of course Mr. White is anxious to take advantage of this extraordinary offer. Miss Rachel Walker (Lucile Lenoir, of Cleveland, Ohio, who with her mother has been studying and giving musical recitals in London and Paris during the last twelve years, is recovering from a badly sprained ankle which confined her to her room during the whole of the last season. I am informed by those who have heard. Miss Walker, recently, that her cultured voice is greatly improved; and that she has few equals, save only among the stars of the very first magnitude. Among her patrons are the names of a number of the nobility, in whose palaces she has been heard with pleasure to htme and advantage to her. Mrs. Azalia Hackley, who has done and is still doing so much for the development and encouragement of high musical ideals and efficiency in our own country, is here, for the second time. Though somewhat impaired in health at present, I am informed that she is busily engaged in laying out her work for the near future on a broad and liberal scale. I shall never forget an earnest appeal made by Mrs. Hackley at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, at the close of a brilliant recital by her, in behalf of the struggling youth in quest of a high musical education. Would that the number of such as she were larger! for we sorely need them. With kindest regards to all the readers of The Bee, I am yours for every good cause, SON HAS BEEN CONVICTED From The Philadelphia Tribune Dr. Chester A. Gordon, a physician, son of Rev. Alexander Gordon, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church, was convicted by a jury on Monday, in Quarter Session Court No. 2, Judg Sulsberger presiding, of fornication and bastardy. The prosecuting witness was Miss Lena Washington, her attorney was Lawyer Everett J. Waring, who has been heartily congratulated upon his able and skilful management of the case. The case has attracted much attention in the city. Friends of the Tribune need not worry themselves about the outcome of the suit of the Rev. Mr. Gordon against this paper. At the proper time our position in this matter will be fully justified, and Rev. Gordon may have cause to regret that he applied to the courts. "Nuff sed."

More than 450 new cases of measles were reported last week. J. W. Calvert, of Peewee Valley, Kentucky, died of pneumonia as a result of marching in the cold and wet in the inaugural parade. He was over 80 years of age and was on his way back to his home when he died. President Taft issued an order last Monday opening the navy yards at Pensacola, Florida, and at New Orleans, Louisiana. They were closed by Ex-President Roosevelt. Mr. Joseph O. Battle, who died on the 3rd instant, ranked among the leading editors of to-day.

Three lions were killed near Pietersburg. Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Boer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kamr boy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the lions lying around one of the donkeys. He fired and killed a big lioness. The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) lioness. The young lion which was left ran behind some brushwood. Erasmus first collected his donkeys and brought them into safety and then once more carefully approached the scene of the fight. In order to find out if the two lionesses were dead he fired another shot at one of them. This disturbed the surviving lion who thereupon came forth roaring. Erasmus was again ready and shot him dead on the spot. Asked by the Volkestem correspondent whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom,' I had my little Kamr boy, with me.'—The skins were sold in Pietersburg.—Pretoria Volkestem. Punsonous Brazilian. Vipers. Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know snakes," brought from Brazil to New York for the purpose of an operation which will give a serum that is practically extinct. There are several singularly interesting snakes in Brazil. The suru cueu is supposed to cause death in six hours. It is sometimes found nine feet long. Its skin is a dirty tawny yellow, with dark brown losses on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The neroest of the lance-headed viper is the Jararoca, and it, also, it a dirty yellow, but it is brown-black about the tail.—Boston Herald. Birds, Fruit, Dead Leaves. The Moki Indian women of Arizona have an ingenious and romantic form of culture. When young these women coll their tresses at the sides of their heads, so as to represent the buds of a native plant. This signifies that they themselves are in the flush of youth and of marriageable age. When they are married their hair is arranged to represent the fruit of the plant; while in old age their jocks hang straggling down their backs, typical of the withered stalk of the dead or dying plant.

Vegetable Milk. "Vegetable milk" is used in Japan. it is made from the soja bean. The liquid is exactly like cow's milk in appearance, and in taste can hardly be distinguished from it. To make it the beans are first soaked and then boiled in water. Some sugar and phosphate potassium are added, and it is boiled down till it has the consistency of condensed milk. Valuable Relics.

"One of the latest schemes of the counterfeit money swindlers is to show guillible people a machine with which they can print for themselves large size bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Khoshe, formerly of the secret service. "This money producing machine has a smooth demonstrator who will, after getting a prospective victim interested, turn the crank and grind out a $20 note, which, it is needless to say, is genuine. The victim shows the bill to a bank cashier, and hears it pronounced good, and his mercenary nature being aroused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharpur $600, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall or an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the horrified expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solemnity, if the boss is not around that the swaying of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered a considerable shock. N. Y. World. Odd South American Animals Many curious animals mount the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frog big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copypu rat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabiru, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoon, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prospection.—Scotsman. The Glazko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil form of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oolite series, at Bora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the calls reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Platter. Skirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is for woolen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each lest can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Bakac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the sexton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or discarded articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Vienna a bear deliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his cage so as to draw a piece of floating bread within his reach. These actions of the bear could hardly be attributed to instinct or inherited habit, as they would be of little use to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothpicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,000,000 quilts.

Foraker, last Saturday evening at the Metropolitan church was the largest and the most imposing gathering that has ever been held in this city. Notwithstanding the cold water that several of the pot house politicians endeavored to throw on it. A meeting was held, it is said, at which the pot house politicians resolved not to attend, because the meeting was gotten up by the little "You's" to the exclusion of the big "I's". The big eyes were excluded. They were not consulted and neither were they invited to display their bald heads and long gray whiskers. These pot house politicians were not missed. They were not asked to take part. The meeting went on without them. Senator Foraker delivered a great speech and told the colored people to support Mr. Taft and his administration. This declaration was a surprise to the black cowards who didn't attend the meeting and resolved to remain away and drink bad whiskey. Attorney Armond W. Scott surprised everybody except the Editor of The Bee. The Bee knows Attorney Scott; it knows that he is a fearless and conscientious race representative. He has been a student of The Bee and The Bee is proud of him. His speech, and the manner in which it was delivered, electrified the three thousand or more people who heard him. He was congratulated and commended by the Ohio Senator as being equal to any delivered in the United States Senate. Senator Foraker spoke eloquently and idgically, and defended his position. He took no back ground. He commended Mr. Taft. He showed his greatness of heart and a spirit that can only be found in the honest men. He took a position The Bee took long before Mr. Taft's nomination and election. The Bee said then and it says now, that Mr. Taft is a friend of the colored citizens and will see that they are protected. The people applauded the speaker to the echo. Senator Foraker stood like Ajax defying the sea. He touched the heart of the American people when he commended Mr. Taft. The Bee has always been an advocate and friend of the Ohio Senator. It has never asked him a favor and neither has it ever betrayed his confidences. Can those colored men who have been holding out their hands since the Brownsville incidet say as much? The Bee has supported the Senator from principle and not from a mercenary purpose, as many have done. There were enough colored men in the country to have given Senator Foraker a solid gold cup four feet high. His services have been undorestimated. The Bee supposes that the chairman of the meeeting who first suggested the meeting was in luck to get a silver cup. The people turned out to see and hear Mr. Foraker and to show their appreciation for him. The people are to be congratulated. They did what the committee failed to do. Attorney Scott surprised those who endeavored to defeat him. No better man could have been selected to deliver the presentation. The opportunity presented itself to a young man and he did not fail to embrace that opportunity. The Bee congratulates Senator Foraker and Attorneys Scott and Grimkie. PRESIDENT TAFT PRESIDENT TAFT The Bee is interested in that portion of the President's inaugural address pertaining to colored Americans. Prior to the delivery of the inaugural address that portion of the address was published in the daily press. The Bee said then and it says now that Mr. Taft understands himself and will justly solve the race problem. The colored people may not quite understand Mr. Taft's utterances, but The Bee feels confident that he will deal justly toward them. Some argue that Mr. Taft means a surrender of the colored man to the South. The Bee doesn't believe that he meant that in the inaugural address. He could not, if he so desired and would not if he could, President Taft cannot be president of one portion of the American people and ignore the other. If the colored people have any confidence in what Mr. Foraker said a few days ago, then the position of The Bee is correct. The Ex-Senator from Ohio declared that Mr. Taft would solve the race question; that he could be relied upon to do his duty toward the colored people; and that they need to have no fear. The Bee said this before. It has the most implicit confidence in him now. The colored man must not presume that he can sit and allow the grass to grow under him. He must be up and doing. He must not wait for a fortune to come to him; he must go out and attempt to earn a fortune. He must cease his begging and convince the more fortunate races that colored Americans have manhood and womanhood. Colored men need not expect to be appointed to office because they are colored men. Colored men should not seek places held by colored men. If they think they deserve a place they should seek new places, but, not places held by other colored men. The president doesn't intend to remove one colored man to make room for another colored man, except in places where colored men have held office two terms in four years, or when they have been transferred from one place previously held by them several years and transferred to a new place which they have held for seven years. Men who have held office over eight years, no difference what office they have filled, should retire and The Bee believes that Mr. Taft thinks so also. Some colored men are too greedy and selfish to resign. Every job held by another colored man will be applied for. Mr. Taft will be worried to death by every man who has been in the campaign. Those colored gentlemen who were in the last campaign have been paid off in full, and Treasurer Sheldon has their receipts for services rendered. Every campaigner cannot expect a job. SOCIAL VAMPIRES There have been a class of individuals brought to this city because their social occupation at home has been taken from them. The citizens of Washington are in a worse condition today than they have been for a number of years. They are surrounded by a set of social vampires. Many The Bee was somewhat surprised to hear that one of Washington's, The Bee may say two of the leading citizens were black balled a few weeks ago by certain interlopers who have come to this city to control the social functions of the city. The young man who was black balled belongs to one of the leading families in this city and the lady stands high among the best citizens in the Southwest. These blackguards who have no reputation themselves, and The Bee knows it, because one of the leading lights in this particular organization is indebted to everybody in town and so far as having credit, he would not be trusted with a rotten stove pipe. This class of individuals have been passing upon the virtue of honorable females and the character and reputation of honest men who are well known in the city and who stand high in the community in which they live. There are only two or three young men connected with the club who are respected. The membership is controlled by defunct social outcasts in their own cities and towns. Until the citizens of Washington get together and organize their own social institutions and keep out these renegades, the social circle of the city will amount to nothing. THE PARADE The "Jim Crow" end of the parade was no more than was predicted by The Bee some time ago. It was reflection on the citizens of Washington. Those who instituted the fight against Register Vernon only dug a hole for themselves. Dr. Williston was put forward by a narrow, contracted set, only to be slaughtered at the crucial moment. They made him grand marshal and then they remained at home. GRIM MONSTER Old grim monster will not down. In every avenue of life grim monster will show his personal characteristics. What it all means, is easily explained. The downs are anxious to be on top. The trying-hard-to-be leader is endeavoring to pull the successful manipulator down the ladder. How to get rid of the successful man is a question for grim monster to solve. IT IS REGRETTED From the Athens Clipper It is to be regretted that the Negro "ward heelers" of Washington, District of Columbia, are becoming "sore heads." See how they are after Mr. Vernon. Let them understand, Editor Chase; that their method of mudslinging is not approved by decent men. Editor Jackson; the barking dogs are doing no harm. PITTMAN THE CHOICE It is the consensus of opinion among the people of this country that Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, or some other colored man should draw the plans for the hall of service for Howard University. It is a colored institution and certainly the managers ought to see to it that colored men are given a show to do their own work upon their own institution. DR. WASHINGTON Dr. Booker T. Washington having been tendered the Liberian commissionership, has declined and Mr. Emmet J. Scott, his private secretary appointed in his place. Send for The Bee if you want a live paper. Read The Bee. FORAKER HONORED. (Continued from page 1.) man, because from the beginning of his public career up until this very hour, he has never taken a stand upon any public question simply to be on the momentary popular side, he has never truckled or cringed; but whenever he has taken a stand, he has been moved by a conscientious conviction that the cause which he espoused was right, and his matchless career has won the plaudits of the entire world. A broad humanitarian, because he has dared, whenever the occasion decasion has arisen, and he was convinced of the righteousness of the cause, to stand up and fight fearlessly for those who were persecuted and oppressed. And it is not within the power of man, even in his wildest flights of imagination, to picture to you in the slightest degree, the bold, determined and successful fight which he has so relentlessly waged against that outrageous and unwarranted discharge and degradation of one hundred and sixty-seven of the bravest and best soldiers who ever shouldered muskets in defense of their country. And it is therefore not to be wondered at, that so many of you are here tonight; it is but the spontaneous manifestation of the gratitude of honest hearts—that this large outpouring of the representatives of the best blood of the race, has taxed the capacity of this great edifice, dedicated to the worship of God, in order that they might do honor to this illustrious man, who is the friend of all mankind, who knows no man by the color of his skin or the texture of his hair, who believes fully in the constitution of this great government, who believes in that theory of the law which has come down to us through all ages, even from a time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, and that is—that every man is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty, and then his guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. A man who has never raised a hostile hand or voice against an oppressed people, but who has wept when he has seen the hand of race hatred and persecution laid heavily upon us and who has fought valiantly for us in our every hour of need. And a man my friends, whose idea of the Christian religion has not caused him to take issue with or exception to that portion of the Holy Scripture which tells us—"That of one flesh and blood, God created all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth." And we honor ourselves and count ourselves fortunate indeed to be privileged to assemble here tonight to honor such a man. By reason of our abiding faith in God, our inherent belief that Wrong will triumph only for a while, and that Right Must and Will ultimately prevail, we are inspired with the faith and hope that this brave and good man, favored as he is with so many of nature's choicest gifts and imbued with that spirit of bull-dog determination, who like Banquo's ghost will not down, will yet triumph over all his enemies and will ultimately be abundantly rewarded for the matchless fight which he made in the furtherance of justice and the In all ages of the world, history presents many shining examples of brave and good men who have dared to stand up and contend single-handed for that, which they believed to be right. Socrates, the renowned Grecian philosopher, whose marvelous wisdom caused him to live many years ahead of his time, and who then believed in the immortality of the soul, was made to drink the fatal hemlock because he would not desist in promulgating that doctrine to the youths of his time. And yet even unto this day, his place in history is that of one of the world's greatest philosophers and benefactors. John Brown, whose spirit will go marching on as long as time endures, was put to death, because he dared to strike the fatal blow against chatel slavery, which fired the American people and caused them to rise up in their might, and his influence, like the influence of the moon upon the waters, raised the tide of the multitude, till over-leaping all barriers, it burst forth with such impetuosity that it forever destroyed and swallowed up that hydra-headed monster, American Slavery. So that whenever a brave man has placed Abrahma Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Harriett Beecher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison, Thaddeus Stevens and Frederick Douglass, waged a united and successful warfare in defense of human liberty unparalleled in the history of the world. And it remained for this brave man to come forward and take his place alone at the head of the firing line, to fight against those who have set themselves up in a determined effort to nullify all that those heroes fought to accomplish. Now why is it that this brave man, one of the noblest God ever created has been treated in the manner in which he has? What offense has he committed? Has he wronged any man, or has he tried to strike any man below the belt?—Let us see! About two years ago, the Secretary of the War Department of this great Republic, ordered that a battalion of black soldiers be sent to Fort Brown, Texas; into that section of this country where the forefathers of those brave black warriors had been formerly held as chattel slaves, and to be stationed among people who for all the years had nurtured and harbored in their breasts a burning hatred with an even increasing fury, against any man whose blood was in any degree tainted with that of the African race. Not only that, but when it became known that these men had been ordered there, a storm of protest of indignation arose against them among the people of Texas, and they ordered their Senators and Representatives to call upon the President and demand of him, that the order directing them to Fort Brown, be revoked. And seeing that no heed was paid to their protest, they then and there resolved to wreak their vengeance upon these innocent victims. In the due course of human events, these soldiers arrived at Fort Brown and subsequently a mysterious alleged shooting up of the town of Brownsville. occured; the soldiers were presumed to be the perpetrators, and therefore accused of the crime. Thereupon an organized effort was entered into at the instance of the then President of this nation, by whatever means that could be resorted to, to prove them guilty. He first sent down General Carlington, a Government Army Officer and a native of the state from which hails our loving and ever faithful friend, Senator Benjamin Tillman, to investigate the charge and from that time on we knew what to expect. We next heard that the men were given so many days to tell something on themselves, and if they did not, they were all to be dishonorably discharged from the Army. Of course, all of them being human beings, and men and even soldiers were not going to commit deliberate perjury against one another, in order to stay in the United States Army, when they all knew too well that no one of them had been connected with the alleged shooting. And for that reason they were subsequently charged with a "conspiracy of silence," and under those circumstances, one hundred and sixty-seven black soldiers, some of whom had spent nearly thirty years of their lives in fighting for this government, were dishonorably discharged from the Army. Do you wonder then my friends, that this brave and good man, with a heart over-flowing with the milk of human kindness. himself a soldier, who enlisted when but a boy, came forward and put himself upon the altar in defense.of these men, and he entered into the fight imbued with the spirit of the words of that humanitariam poet, "You cannot bridle the tongue, You cannot conquer the will, You cannot make me hate man, For man's my brother still." To adequately describe what followed would be a vain undertaking story. You know how all the power of the government has been brought to bear to find even a shadow of guilt against these men. You know how they have been subjected to every test known to human ingenuity in order to discover the slightest trace of guilt against them. You have been fittingly told on the floor of the United States Senate by this brave man, how since their discharge from the Army, they have been hounded from one end of this country to the other by unscrupulous and designing detectives, who were paid extravagant sums of money out of the United States Treasury of this government to try to entrap them. But in spite of all this, not one scintilla of reliable evidence has been adduced against them even tending to prove any one of them was in any way connected with the alleged shooting up of Brownsville. And this giant defender of human rights went into the thickest of the fight and almost singlehanded and against all odds, fought the battles for those persecuted men and is still determined to fight on for them, until all the American people shall know and be convinced that these men and every one of them are innocent. And may God strengthen him, and help him and give him determination to keep up the fight. So that, honored sir, it is but fitting for these grateful representatives of the race for whom you have fought so long and so valiantly, to present to you on this occasion this slight token of their appreciation of your services, which have been so freely given in such a crucial hour. Because, we feel that in the fight you have made, you were not only moved by your abiding conviction of the innocence of these men; but that you can't that you were fighting for a race which has never given birth to a son who has ever taken up arms against his country. And the entire world was looking down upon you and listened, when on that ever memorable 14th day of April, 1908, you dared to stand upon the floor of the United States Senate and defended us in these words. "They are at once both citizens and soldiers of the Republic. Aside from these charges, which they deny, their behavior, both in the Army and out of it, has justly excited the highest commendation. Their record is without spot or blemish. They are typical representatives of a race that has ever been loyal to America and American institutions; a race that has never raised a hostile hand against our country's flag; a race that has contributed to the nation's tens of thousands of brave defenders, not one of whom ever turned traitor or faltered in his fidelity. In every way in which we have permitted them to participate, they have distinguished themselves for their efficiency and valor. They have shed their blood and laid down their lives in the fierce shock of battle, side by side with their white comrades. They are the direct and worthy successors of the brave men who so heroically died at Petersburg, at Wagner, and on scores of bloody fields, that this nation might live." And sir, you spoke truly and well, because you were defending a race which has given to the world a Crispus Attucks, from whose veins flowed the first blood that was poured out upon the altar of American Independence. Representatives of which race, during the War of 1812, played well their part on every American war vessel in that conflict, and we are told of one of those black sailors, by the name of Ben Johnson, that after all the lower part of his body had been shot away, he lay on the deck and between the last gasps of his death agony, heroically exclaimed, "fire away my boys, nor haul a color down." A race which can boast of a Nicholas Biddle, who was the first man to be killed in the Civil War, and who was shot down in the streets of Baltimore during the mobilization of the troops in that city. And in the Spanish-American War, Elijah B. Tunnell, a Negro of Accomac County, Virginia, was one of the first two who were killed in that conflict, having been shot down simultaneously with Worth Bagley, on the deck of the torpedo boat Winslow, in the harbor of Mantanzas. And last, but not least, a race from (Continued to Page 5.) HOTEL MACEO. When visiting New York City, stop at the Hotel Maceo, 213 West 53rd. Street, corner Broadway. Steam heatrL.

Vernon's Success ansas Legisiature Appropriates a Large Sum for Western Uni- versity, Topeka, Kan..—The legislature of Kansas appropriated this ‘week, 66,400 for Western University at Quindaro, This is the institution of which the Hororable W. T. Vernon is the President, on leave of absénce and for which he has given the best energies of his life. Mr, Vernon was called to the pres- idency of Western University about eleven years ago. At the time it consisted of one” frame building, six students and himself. Attempts had been made prior to his going to Quin- daro to build up the school, but they had failed, He took charge and threw hmself into the work with zeal and enthusiasm and made it Prosper. Students began to come, teachers ‘were added to the faculty, buildings arose for their accommodation and for the instelation of an educational plant unrivalled by any other race in- stitution west of the Mississippi. Western University is today the Mecca of the colored youth of both sexes in the far West. There are now over three hundred students en- rolled and they are being taught by a faculty of competent instructors who are themselves graduates of the leading institutions of the country. Since Mr. Vernon has been a res- ident of Washington, where he is occupied with the varied responsi- bilities of the office of Register of the Treasury, he has kept a close watch on Western University and has gone before the appropriatoins com- mittees of the legislature of Kansas urging increased appropriations for the school, As a result of his eloquent pleas the legislature has just appropriated $66,409, of which amount $25,000 will be used to erect a girl's dormi- tory and the remainder for equip- ment, and maintainance of library extension.

COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAW Orlimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Association Which Caused the Abolishment of the Turnpike Compa- nies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob viola- lence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Southern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been should- ered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turnpike corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll gates and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became impossible. The owners of the turnpikes would not expend one cent for improvements as long as there was question of their losing their property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct travelers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the state for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organised. The organisation spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be defiant he was flogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the toll gate keeper was glad to give up his job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are net millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance. Pryche Knot a 14fe Seyer Altoona, Pa.—Having washed and dried her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Payche knot and walked out on the front porch. While she leaned against the rolling it gave way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the sidewalk, alighting on her head. The colfure broke the impact of her head against the fingernails, but she did not entirely escape injury. She suffered a slight concussion of the brain, but recovered consciousness a few hours later. Old Age Common in Rochefort. Park, France—Rochefort seems to be a great town for longevity. Investigation of the records reveals the fact that during the last century from January 1, 1801, to December 31, 1900, 144 persons in Rochefort attained the age of 90 or over. Two of these were centenarians, one reaching the age of 103, and the other dying at 104. 2 GREAT OFFERS This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, if I could only and water! I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I ate some green brush, but I can't go any more. I wonder how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from human habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dying. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 2, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but matained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it so often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, Inye county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I would parish. I thought I could make it, but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk I have brothers, C. H. Pratt, at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt, in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyoming." LONGEST AUTO FREIGHT LINE Cars Will Carry 27 Passengers and 10 Tons of Freight. Spokane, Wash.—What is believed to be the longest automobile freight and passenger stage line on the continent is in operation between Oreville and Brewster in Okanogan County, Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse power cars, which will carry twenty-seven passengers and ten tons of freight, making the run of eighty miles in eight hours. The trip by wagon occupies almost two days. Branch lines will also be established to other points in the Okanogan country. The other line is between Marcus and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokane, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE Bold Cottontails Destroy Crops on California Ranches. San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating crops down to the roots. Not content with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invading front yards of the dwellers. Citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a round-up. They put up a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on each side and in short time drove in and killed with clubs five hundred jack rabbits. Ship's Crew Witness Desperate Fight in Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore.—A remarkable combat between a large eagle and a shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangier in Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Ocochannock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce struggle, the shark pulling the eagle under the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally killed and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its mate, hovering close by, tried to attack them. shot an Albino Squirrel. Marquette, Mich.—While hunting near Grand Marais, Gustav Herbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calins, of Grand Marais, and will be mounted. Albino deer are occasionally killed in upper Michigan, but this is the first time of which there is record that a white squirrel has been hunted. LEGAL NOTICE P. W. FRISBY, ATTORNEY.

Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, is undoubtedly doing more for the uplift of Negro womanhood in particular, and her race in general, than any other living Negro woman, with her coterie of assistants, has just closed an interesting Campaign of Information, respecting a Training School that is to be erected in the District of Columbia, for women and girls. Within the past three weeks, she has been able to reach every section in this great city, either by person or printed matter, setting forth the purposes and scope of the work unundertaken. Great interest has been aroused, not only among the constituency by which the school is to be operated, but among the general public, as was evidenced by the enthusiastic crowds that attended all the Mass Meetings, when Miss Burroughs swayed her great audiences by her genius and unexcelled eloquence. This splendid work of building a Training School which will give raining to our women and girls in all the industries and professions, is the ambitious idea of Miss Burroughs, and is compelled to succeed, with such a character behind it. Within a very short time the property has been over half paid for, and a valuable piece of property it is, in the District of Columbia. The Seventy-five thousand dollar building contemplated, will very soon be in a process of realization. It will make a great picture, standing in bold relief upon Lincoln Heights—a throbbing center of industrial and missionary activity. The women are to be congratulated upon this splendid accounting of themselves during their brief existence of eight years. Notwithstanding the movement is National in scope and has a great backing, it is gratifying to note, however, the interest shown by the people of the District. They are delighted to have the institution in their midst, and have pledged their co-operation and support. Enthusiastic meetings were held at the largest churches in the District, regardless of denomination, and hundreds of persons of all sects-pledged to contribute when called upon. Five thousand dollars must be raised by May 30th, and we hope every person who has pledged, and all to whom appeals will be sent, will respond. Let us women have this great school and have it at once. LAYS CORNER STONE Bishop Harding laid the corner stone of Calvary Episcopal (colored) Chapel, at 111th and G streets, southeast, Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Dr. McKim, rector of Epiphany parish, made a short address, pointing out that although a good system of education for the poorer classes is a great remedy for decreasing crime, still, a greater number of churches to keep up the spiritual welfare of the American youth is the real answer to the question. Archdeacon Williams, Rev. John A. Aspinwall and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, priest in charge of the new chapel, also assisted at the services. Other clergy in attendance at the services were Rev. Dr. Packard of Rockville, Maryland; and Rev. Enoch M. Thompson, rector of the Chapel of the Nativity. Ground for the structure was broken early in February. It will be finished within the next three months according to the calculations of the builders. SAN ANTONIO THE MECCA Dr. G. J.
