IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII NO. 8 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 27, 1912 POLITICAL LEAGUE SECOND SESSION OF NATIONAL NEGRO CIVIL AND POLITICAL LEAGUE OF AMERICA. The Call on the President—His Timely Address and Compliment to Editor W. Calvin Chase. —Resolutions Adopted Pledging Support to the Republican Party. Great Speech of Senator Bradley —Subordinate Associations Recommended. The second session of the National Civil and Political Negro League of America convened in Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church Thursday evening, July 18, Rev. S. S. Corrothers, president., in the chair and Attorney Joseph H. Stewart, secretary. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock, and notwithstanding the severe rain storm more than 150 delegates and members were present. Senator W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, was the principal speaker of the evening. His address was the most eloquent and instructive that ever fell from the lips of any man. He paid a high tribute to President Taft and admonished the colored voters that they were confronting a crisis such as never existed before in the history of the country. If the Democrats should win, said Senator Bradley, the result would not affect him; it could not affect his citizenship, but the Negro would suffer. In his reference to Ex-President Roosevelt, he said, that he was a dangerous man and if he thought that if he went to heaven and found Roosevelt there he would not want to remain, because there would be no peace there. He was confident that he would not be there long before he would call for a primary election(7) "I am looking the Senator, "with his picture on it and inscription that this is my Bible,—Roosevelt." While the Republican party has not done everything it should have done for the Negro, he has always and always shall be a friend to the colored man. He owed his existence and life to the Negro race of Kentucky. At this juncture Seauer Bradley leisurely took rom his vest pocket a handsome gold watch and said that it had been presented to him by the colored citizens of Kentucky. No amount of money could purchase the watch. After his death he wanted it kept by his son as a memento, because the Negroes of Kentucky, whom he held in the highest esteem, gave it to him. There were many inscriptions on the watch, two excerpts from his speeches in defence of the Negroes of Kentucky, and another, the concluding sentence of a pardon of a convicted Negro who had defended his home against a white mob. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. J. J. Johnson, of Kentucky, commended Senator's Bradley's remarks and said that he could personally testify to the correctness of them, because he was one of the committee that presented the watch to the Senator, and the Negroes in Kentucky, concluded Mr. Johnson, regard Senator Bradley as the greatest friend to them in this world. W. Calvin Chase, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, moved a rising vote of thanks to the speaker, and Dr. Corrothers suggested in addition to the vote of thanks a chatauua salute, after which Mr. Chase, from the Committee on Resolutions, offered the following, which were unanimously adopted: Preamble and Resolutions: Whereas, we, the members of the National Civil and Political Negro League of America, believing in the perpetuation of the principles of the Republican party and its policies when they conform with the Constitution of the United States, but when the rights of any people or nation of peoples are disregarded, we then believe that the time for a change in the government is an absolute necessity; and Whereas, existing political conditions in the national body politic threaten the overthrow and destruction of our great government and the rights and liberties of over ten millions of Colored Americans are about to be taken from them by the accession of a party which has always upheld and perpetuated slavery and enacted into laws jim crowism, racial discrimination and disfranchisement and Whereas, there is another menace which has sprung into existence, namely, a National Progressive Republican party, which is a conglomeration of politicians of variegated political opinions and theories founded upon prejudice, disgruntlessness and disappointments. This new Bull Moose propaganda has a very eccentric head, who was responsible for the discharge of the Negro soldiers whose bravery and valor in many wars are emblazoned on the scroll of fame, and without trial were dishonorably dismissed from the Army. No Colored American voter can, with honor to himself, afford to ally himself with a party which has such a head, and neither an he conscientiously support a party that disregards human liberty and equality of citizenship. We thank President Taft for his act of fair play to the Brownsville soldiers in withholding the order of dismissal and request that they be reinstated. We hope that, President Taft will reinstate dishonored sol- driers and thus convince the American people that he believes in fair play and will execute it when an opportunity permits. It is the duty of the Colored voter in this country, recognizing as they do, evil existing conditions, to cast their votes at the next election for Taft and Sherman, because it will be to their best interests and the best interests of the country. Resolved, That all patriotic Colored Republicans of the United States organize at once subordinate leagues in conjunction with the present National Civil and Political Negro League of America. Resolved, further, That the President and Executive Committee of the National League shall be given absolute authority to organize such leagues throughout the country, whose authority and power shall be subordinate to said National League. Be it further resolved, That the League and all subordinate leagues shall not give ald or support to the Democratic or the so-called Progressive parties, directly or indirectly. About fifty delegates, by special engagement, went to the White House Thursday, July 18th, at 2.30 p.m., in the rain storm. The committee was ushered into the East Room. In a few moments President Taft entered, accompanied by his military aid and his new private secretary, Mr. Thompson, and others. Dr. S. L. Corrothers introduced Attorney J. H. Stewart, who read the address adopted at a ormer meeting of the League, which reads as follows: Address of the League. "Mr. President: "Our mission is to express our friendliness and best wishes for Republican success at the polls in November. Usage and custom have decreed that the colored people as a class be segregated and limited in the enjoyment of their civil and political freedom. We are neither happy nor contented under the prevailing practice of discriminatory acts against us that are of daily occurrence in our country, and we respectfully present to you our chief grievances in the hope that you will see your way clear to correct some of the evils with which we are from time to time afflicted. "First, we reverently submit for your earnest consideration the restoration of the battalion of soldiers of the 25th United States Infantry. The half million colored voters of the North and West look upon the discharge of the men composing that battalion as being irregular and not iff harmony with the criminal laws of the United States, but regard the discharge as being ordered in compliance with the tyrannical procedure of the slave master and an effort on the part of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to satisfy the conceptions of despotism inherent in Southern thought and practice toward the Colored people. We desire that you as the nominee of the Republican party be placed in the attitude of a true and just representative of law and order and that you cause all to feel that you are equally the friend and President of all the people. We believe that the correction of the Brownsville affair will appeal to the half million Colored voters of the North and West and tremendously increase their desire for your re-election and tie them to your interest in November. "Second, lynchings have become too frequent for the safety of law. A statement from you as the champion of law and order that you intend to recommend the enactment of a Federal statute conferring concurrent jurisdiction on the United States Courts whenever the State courts refuse to punish those guilty of lynching, would, we believe, be the beginning of the end of lynching in the United States. "We think that if the Colored voters were made to feel that meritorious Colored men would receive equal consideration in the dispensation of the patronage at the hands of the Executive and that your future term in the White House would be helpful to them as well as other citizens, we believe that none would be found who would not hail you as our next President. The Colored voters cannot yet take that keen interest in the tariff, the trusts, the conservation projects and other questions of importance to the nation as a whole in the face of everreasing efforts dictated by the customs and practices demanding the curtailment of their personal liberty, of the weakening of their protection to property and of the destruction of their protection of life. Protection of life, liberty and property are at present the only questions demanding the serious attention of the Colored people. 'When these questions are rightly and honorably settled the Colored people and voters will peacefully and willingly give attention to the currency, trust questions and tariff changes. We pray Mr. President, that you will give the matter here presented profound consideration and act as your judgment dictates." President's Reply. In reply to the address President Taft, turning to Editor W. Calvin Chase, publicly acknowledged his debt of gratitude to the Negro delegates to the Republican National Convention pledged and instructed for him, who stood with the Taft forces through the night. "I want to say to you," sald the President, "how much I appreciate your standing firm in my behalf at a time when it was intimated to the country that we could not depend upon you. You demonstrated there your appreciation of the accomplishments of the Republican party for your race WASHINGTON, D.

The delegation presented resolutions to the President asking for the restoration of the battalion of the 25th Inantry that was involved in the Brownsville affair, and urging him to recommend a Federal statute against lynching. Mr. Taft said in reply that he had done everything possible under the law in regard to the 25th Inantry. He deplored lynchings, he said, but did not believe that the Federal government could interfere in the States with criminal cases. "I say to you gentlemen," the President added, "that a man who has been engaged in a lynching comes up to nile for executive clem within the Federal jurisdiction, who ency, will have his petition received with that feeling on my part that there is no crime that ought to be more severely punished and more completely condemned." The reply of Presideit Taft and his friends to Col. Roosevelt's repeated charges of "fraud," and the "stealing of delegates" in the Chicago convention promises to be made public from several sources in Washington next week, couched in terms that will be in many ways a counter attack upon the Roosevelt preconvention campaign. The statement that will be issued from the White House, the final draft of which was considered at a two-hour, meeting of the Cabinet yesterday, will be an exhaustive analysis of the contest cases, and a reply to all of the Roosevelt charges of unfair dealing on the part of Taft's friends on the Republican National Committee and the Credentials Committee. MEDICAL CONVENTION. Drs. Cabiness and Curtis in Charge of Arrangements—Trip to Tuskegee. Dr. George W. Cabiness and Dr. A. M. Curtis, who have the arrangements in charge for the Doctors Medical Convention at Tuskegee, Ala., July 27, 28, and 29, have completed the arrangements and are now prepared to give railroad rates from this and other cities to those who intend to attend the convention.

President Asked to Restore 25th Infantry and Recommend Lynching Stature. From The Tribune Bureau.) Washington, July 19.—President Taft in a speech in the East Room of the White House to a delegation from the National Civil and Political Negro League today publicly acknowledged his debt of gratitude to the Negro delegates to the Republican National Convention pledged and instructed for him, who stood with the Taft forces through the fight. "I want to say to you," said the President, "how much I appreciate your standing firm in my behalf at a time when it was intimated to the country that we could not depend upon you. You demonstrated there your appreciation of the accomplishments of the Republican party for your race in the past, and your abiding faith in its future friendship; you stood like a solid rock." The President listened to the reading of a set of resolutions adopted by the league by the leader of the delegation, urging the restoration of the battalion of soldiers of the Twenty-Fifth United, States Infantry, whose discharge was "ordered in compliance with the tyrannical procedure of the slave master, and an effort on the part of ex-President Roosevelt to satisfy the conceptions of despotism inherent in Southern thought and practice toward the colored people," asking Mr. Taft to make a statement promising to recommend to Congress the enactment of a "statute conferring concurrent jurisdiction on the United States courts whenever the State courts refuse to punish those guilty of lynching," and asking that the Negroes be given "equal consideration in the dispensation of the patronage at the hands of the Executive." The resolutions concluded with this statement: The colored voters cannot yet take that keen interest in the tariff, the trusts, the conservation projects and other questions of importance to the nation as a whole, in the face of ever increasing efforts dictated by the customs and practices demanding the curtailment of their personal liberty, of the weakening of their protection to property and of the destruction of their protection of life. Protection of life, liberty and property are at present the only questions demanding the serious attention of the colored people. When these questions are rightly and honorably settled, the colored people and voters will peacefully and willingly give attention to the currency, trust questions and tariff changes. Brownsville Matter Closed. The President, addressing the delegation, spoke on each subject contained in the resolutions. With respect to the Brownsville matter, Mr. Taft said: First, with respect to the Brownsville matter. That was attempted to be settled by a compromise between Senator Foraker and those who differed with him, which was put in force as a statute, passed before I came into office, and is now in force. The limitations upon the executive power are contained in that statute, and the Executive has already done all that the statute directs or permits him to do in the direction which you indicate. With respect to lynchings the President said that every time opportunity presented itself he had with as much emphasis as language would permit expressed himself "in condemnation of lynching." Mr. Taft said that it was a disgrace to the country, and the only cure was the conviction of the lynchers and the hanging of a few of them. He said that federal jurisdiction of lynching was not permissible under the Constitution, lynching being an ordinary crime, and that "such crimes under our form of government must be covered by state laws." The President suggested that the best way to stamp out this awful crime is by arousing public sentiment against it and "administering certain and fitting punishment for those who are guilty." The President bitterly denounced mob law and said that petitions for Executive clemency to any one guilty of lynching which might come before him will be received "with that feeling on my part that there is no crime that ought to be more severely punished and more completely condemned." Rights of the Negro. The President took up the subject of general rights of the Negro, saying: The Republican party ought to be maintained because of its useful past and its useful future. It has been the party for the maintenance of the equal rights of the Negro. It has not always succeeded in rounding out those rights in accordance with the letter of the Constitution, but it has accepted the responsibility, and every member of the party who is conscious of what it ought to stand for is ready to continue the fight for your constitutional rights. Recently we have had an agitation concerning an amendment to the Constitution which would affect the guarantee of life, liberty and property that we have all valued so highly, and which have come down to us from our ancestors. The Republican party has set its face like flint against any departure from a strict enforcement of these rights. Understand me, my friends, I don't mean to say that the strict enforcement of those rights has been made possible. We are not perfect. There are a great many defects—among them the defect with respect to the political rights of the Negro in the South. You have not suffered with respect to your property rights, your liberty and your life-except possibly in those incidental cases of lynching where a prejudice has been excited, but those are comparatively few in number as compared with the 10,000,000 Negroes who are here whose property rights are maintained, whose liberty is maintained and whose right to the pursuit of happiness is maintained. No one can take your earnings away from you. They are preserved to you whether you work in the South or in the North. That your opportunities are not equal, growing out of race prejudice. I am the last, one to deny, and I have the deepest sympathy with you in knowing that you have to go on and encounter the prejudice and live it down by showing that you are useful members of the community, and in compelling those who would not otherwise do so to recognize your usefulness as members of society. That is your problem. You have to work it out. It is hard, I know. It is a great burden, and you have my sympathy in your effort, and in so far as the law can make that easier for you, in so far as the strict enforcement of your rights may enable you to work out your future, you can depend upon me, and you can depend upon the Republican party, to stand by you. That is what I feel, gentlemen. I believe the Republican party, as at present constituted and as it is going to continue to be constituted, is the party to which people of your race should look for help. As the titular head of that party I have no hesitation in promising you every effort, on the part of those who are responsible for the government, to enforce your rights. That is the most I can say. I cannot promise a millennium and I cannot promise that things are going to be better all at once. All I can promise is that we are going to do the best we can to make things better.

Cotton marquisette, which was discovered by the explorers several years ago as an excellent substitute for muslin, is now at the apex of its popularity. It serves better for blouses than muslin does, because it does not need starch, and it is not apt to crush under a coat or in a suit case. The trimming on these blouses is quite simple. A French design of hand embroidery in front suffices, and the 50 SUIT FOR SCHOOLBOYS buttons which run down the middle front are usually of heavy white crochet, giving a touch of ornament that is simple, yet effective. One of the models which are excessively popular has a strip of colored plaid muslin at the side of the button, around the collar and on the cuffs. Spats are much in favor, even striped ones, being seen abroad. Draped and plaited effects in skirts are gaining in favor. The blouse suit is always a practical and a favorite one for schoolboys.

Owners Visit New York and Stocked—They Had to Win Smith—Compliments Dudley. Chicago, Ill., July 11, 1912. Editor of The Bee: In Chicago they told me that they knew absolutely nothing about a theatre. I asked them how they came to put so much money in an enterprise they knew nothing about. They said that they used to stand on T street and would speak to every colored person they could see, and ask them how they would like to have a theatre, and every one they spoke to was willing to support one if they had one. And now that you have the Howard it is a safe bet that if Benedict and Rosenthal stand on any corner and asked colored people if they want another Theatre, and the fellow who he talks to will form a quartette and sing oh, for another first class theatre, near --- Painless Extraction of Teeth .

Washington, D.C. the Base Ball Park, what would the conclusion be? The opening of the Howard Theatre was probably without an equal, as those who were fortunate enough to secure a seat can truly testify. As I previously remarked the owners took the management of the theatre into their own hands, as my intentions were to find out at the start if the Washingtonians really wanted a theatre, and the sure way in so doing is to find out by touching their pocket books, and instead of all the boxes being given away I would have auctioned them off to the highest bidder. Those in the boxes on the opening night, with few exceptions, were not the ones to find out if your city needed a theatre. I was fully convinced that Washington did not need such a prodigious theatre as the Howard. Immediately after the first appearance of the S. H. Dudley's Smart Set Co., which was the week of September 5th, they played to close on to six thousand dollars. On the following week with a vaudeville bill costing close to a thousand dollars, the gross did not exceed three hundred dollars on the entire week. I was then convinced that Washington was a freak show town. The classes of people in your city differ so much that they don't Continued on the sixth page.

We wish to invite the attention of our colored brethren to the statement made last week by Senator Dixon, in charge of the campaign ostensibly designed to elect Theodore Roosevelt President of the United States, but in reality to destroy, if possible, the future usefulness of the Republican party. It appears that certain of our colored friends in the State of South Carolina issued a "call" for a "progressive" State convention, to elect delegates to the Chicago Convention on August 5th, and were proceeding apparently in good faith and good humor to demonstrate their allegiance to the Colonel, when lo and behold, their "hands were called" to employ the phraseology of the supporting world, in which the Colonel delights in the following communication given conspicuous place in a South Carolina daily, emanating from Senator Dixon: "On its face it shows that the parties authorizing the call are not in touch with the purposes of the new National Progressive party, as the call for the convention in Columbia states that it is for the purpose of electing delegates to the Progressive Republican Convention. The National Progressive party holds no allegiance or alliance with either Republican or Democratic party. Plans are now under way for a preliminary organization of the National Progressive party in South Carolina." Now what does all this mean? Why were not the colored brethren "in touch with the purposes" of the new party? Is it, because the new party hopes to build up a political organization at the South whose "purposes" will be first of all things, the elimination of the Negro? We know what Roosevelt's policy was relative to the Negro at the South when he was in the White House, and when we write "policy," we are not considering his utterances, but his acts—and what were they? To talk loudly about the "square deal" and replace colored office holders all over the South by white men—Lily White Republicans and Democrats. Thus when he left the White House out of the thirty colored office holders of the South, which he inherited from his predecessor, he left ten-in office. "I can not consent that the door of hope shall be closed against any man on account of his color," he wrote in the Crum case, while all the time he was quietly closing the "door of hope" in the faces of black men, as the records show. We also recall that he sent Judge Pritchard South to stimulate the organization of a Lily White party, which he manfully did by public acts and public utterances. Now that he has bolted the great party which in times past conferred so many honorable distinctions upon him, because it refused to be saddled by him for a third term in violation of the custom of a hundred years and more, he is lending himself to dual purpose, of appealing for Negro votes at the North and suppressing the Negro at the South from participation in his efforts to "redeem the plain,people" from the tyrant's grasp, as he puts it. BENJAMIN TILLMAN. "Coscience makes cowards of us all; traitors retreat when boldly they are confronted." When the Duke of Gloucester subsequently King Richard III, uttered the foregoing declaration, little did he think that he was so near defeated and so near death. At last Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina, has realized that he is near his end and before long he has to meet his God. Oh, what will he say or what answers will he give to the question on the disi-anchisement of colored men in his state and the South? What excuse will he give to that God before whom he must appear for his abuse of God's people? He will undoubtedly meet a few South Carolina Negroes at the Judgment Seat of God. What will he say then? The Bee has often said that Benjamin Tillman would some day regret his tirades against the unfortunate and oppressed Negro. The day has come, and he, from his own lips, has declared that his feeble condition compels him to think and prepare for the hereafter. Let the Bee, remind you. Mr. Tillman, that you have unjustly attacked a race of people who have done you no wrong, but who have been your willing slaves because of your stringent and unjust laws; and before you go before that God of whom you speak, cleanse your soul and pray for forgiveness. You will be asked by that God, Senator Tillman, why did you abuse your brethren in black? Why did you enslave him and the laws of your State disfranchise him? The Bee agrees with all you said in defense of Senator Lorimer. The Bee sees the injustice done him as you did, but you cannot be excused for what you have done to the oppressed Negro. When you leave this earth, which you say will be some time soon recount the thousands of wrongs you have done to your brother in black. The Bee bears nb ill will against you. The only way that you have become known in this country is by your unjust attacks on the Negro. The records of the Senate don't show any brilliant acts you have done. Your life as a Senator from the State of South Carolina will show perpetual attacks on the Negro. And The Bee believes in the God before whom you will soon appear that he doesn't allow such individuals to tarry long in His presence: Save your report and while there is life there is hope. NOT YET. The usefulness and mission of the Republican party is not yet at an end. All great questions of government have been settled by this party which no other party has had the ability to settle. Whatever the faults of the Republican Party may be, its principles have been universal liberty and equality of citizenship. This country is too progressive and fortunate to allow a free trade President to be elected and rule over its destinies. President Taft has done everything in his power to advance the interest of his people, independent of party, religion or political creeds. He has made a Christian President, in that he has averted wars with other nations by persuasion and arbitration. What more can a President do? The so-called 2,000 Republicans that are claimed to have gone over to Woodrow Wilson are not a drop in the bucket to the great number of Democrats and other sensible people who have and will vote for President Taft. The Bee has the most obliging faith in the suc- cessful triumph of the Republican party and the great principles for which this party stands. The voters of this country cannot be too careful in weighing wisely the both platforms. The Bull Moose platform needs no consideration, because this is a bastardly party, born out of lawful wedlock. The "Bull Moose" party was conceived in deception, trickery and demagogry, which make it impossible for it to reach maturity in life long enough to give it shape. Not yet. THE INDEPENDENT If there is one periodical, more than another, to which the Negro race owes a debt of gratitude for standing at all times, and under all conditions, for equal opportunities, equal rights and equal privileges for the race, that periodical is The Independent, a weekly magazine, published in New York. Established in 1848, its fifty-four years of existence has been a service to the people, and influence for good and a fearless champion of equal rights. Ever since the Negro problem has claimed solution, at the hands of the American people, The Independent has led all the rest in demanding equal and exact justice for our race. Any publication that has so consistently, so constantly, and so effectively championed our rights ought to be found on the library table in every Negro home. An illustration of the staunch friendship evinced by The Independent can be found in its editorial in its issue of July 11th, under the caption of "Our Position in this Campaign." Stripped of all verbiage, reduced to the last analysis, The Independent is opposed to the election of Woodrow Wilson because, as it states, "his party is persistently and notoriously false to the doctrine of the equal rights of man." Every Negro who can read plain type, or understand when it is read to him by one who can read, ought to be a subscriber to The Independent, that loyal, and in every way excellent magazine published in New York. CHARLES BANKS From the Mound Bayou Mississippi Demonstrator The Bee reproduces the defense of Mr. Charles Banks, of Mississippi, who was elected from that State as a Taft delegate, but for some unknown reason to the public he suddenly flopped to Roosevelt. The Bee reproduces his defense because it is a pitiful confession of his political wrong at Chicago. The name of this great Mississippi that stood out to the world as the greatest organizer the South ever produced. O! then, Banks, why did you betray your trust? Your defense explains nothing, but portrays you to be a man whose name will now be placed upon the walls of Mound Bayou with others who violated their trust. The Bee reproduces his defense so that the world will not say that an opportunity was denied him to reply. Why didn't he explain the reasons for his folly, and if his statements are not true, The Bee will publish them. The Bee challenges you, Mr. Banks. Do you remember your visit to The Bee office, Mr. Banks? Do you remember the circular? Don't go too far, Mr. Banks, because the least shake will take the top from the "Bee Hive." AN INJUSICE. During the absence of the Editor in Chicago an article appeared in this paper reflecting on a gentleman for whom the Editor, The Bee and the community has the highest esteem. The gentleman referred to has been in our midst but a few weeks and he has done a great deal to advance the interest of the people. The Bee would like to call his name, but it is not policy. The article in question referred to a card game in the vicinity of Seventh street. This is as close as The Bee cares to go, because the article was a gross injustice to the gentleman, who has never offended any one, but has always conducted himself as a man and a gentleman. The Bee will not knowingly harm anyone and neither will it take up the personal grievances of others and air them through the columns of this paper. Per- sons who have attacks to make and grievances to air must seek other mediums than The Bee. A man who strikes another when his back is turned or a woman who slanders another, are crooked themselves. PRESIDENT TAFT The reply of President Tait to the delegates of the National Civil and Political Negro League of America, at the White House, Thursday, July 18th instant, was all that an Executive could say, President Tait's speech was full of earnestness and sincerity. He expressed his gratitude and thanks for the loyalty of the Negro delegates at Chicago. He assured the delegation that he was the Negroes sincere friend, and their destiny was in their own hands. No lyncher can expect any clemency from him, remarked the President in the course of his address. Every member of the delegation expressed himself as being pleased with the reception the President accorded them and each and all assured him that the Negro was true to the traditions of the Republican Party and would give him their loyal support. LIEUT, COL, BROOKS. Not a more deserving compliment could have been paid an officer of the National Guard than that recently paid Major Arthur Brooks, of the Dixie Militia. If there ever was a man who is entitled to the flatteries of the people it is Major, now Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Brooks. The bee suggests that his friends tender him a testimonial of their appreciation and enter it some time in the early fall or at once. OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. The citizens of this city would hail with delight the reappointment as Commissioner Honorable Henry L. West. There will not be any more Negro policemen appointed until we succeed in having such a man appointed. The people could always obtain a square deal under Commissioner West. The resignation of the Engineer Commissioner would be ratified by the people. President Taft would certainly do the people a favor by making a change in the District Commissionership. PROGRESSIVENESS. The National Progressive Party, under the direction of William Hickey, is not making much headway. Brother Hickey will be convinced that Progressives are scarce in this city if the flthy lucre is not liberally distributed. A Progressive move in this city is always successful for the time being when the rooters see the long greens. NEW EXCHANGES The Bee has received this week the Muskagee Star, Oklahoma, A. J. Smitherman, editor, and the Progressive Magazine, Philadelphia. Pa., P. Haywood Sumner, managing editor. Among the contributors to the Progressive Magazine are Ex-Congressman Edw. H. White, Dr. Algeron B. Jackson and others. The Bee welcomes both to its sanctum and with this number they are placed on its exchange book. Anonymous letter-writers are cowards of the worst type. Any fool can tear down a structure. It takes a genius to build up one. Andrew Carnegie pays Booker T. Washington a handsome tribute for the latter's article, calling attention to the heroism of colored men. tees out of eight, favored the election of a colored man as president of Howard University. Most fellows you know are loud in their praise for the saving power of printer's ink—until they are asked to pay the printer. Will Harris, better known as the husband of Mrs. Harris, called on Woodrow Wilson, in company with Trotter and Rev. Waldron. Now the question will naturally be asked—who and what does Will Harris represent? We urge sane colored men not to censure these alleged Negro Democrats too severely. The mere fact that they claim to be supporters of a Negro hater like Governor Wilson ought to be punishment sufficient. The fact that the Civil Service Commission is soon to begin to investigate the political activity of federal employees in the classified service is likely to make some people afraid of their shadow. Those self-lauded, and self-styled "journalists" who write prodigiously and vacantly. That time has long since passed when colored federal office holders can draw salaries and do nothing. It used to obtain in the good old days when to simply attitudinize for the party was all that was asked. Now colored office holders are expected, and must know and administer their offices the same as white men. And the present coterie of colored officials here in Washington measure up to all demands. They know their offices and administer them. Register Napier, always well dressed, dignified in his hearing, cordial in his greetings, and precise in his dealings, reminds one of the aristocratic Southern gentleman. Mr. Napier is as punctual to his office as the lowest salaried employee in it, and he is just as considerate of the humblest employee in it as he is of the highest salaried man. If Washington colored men will drop political discussion until after the dog days have passed they will be fresher when the fight begins. Jack Johnson has opened a saloon. Jack is liable to find that old John Barley Corn can hit a much harder blow than either Jeffries or Flynn. If ambitious colored men who think they are of managerial size to manage this campaign, or who think their services are indispensable will only give Mr. Hillestime to get his breath and survey the field, he will be fair to all in requesting advice and co-operation. Give him time, boys. And now Columbia University has drawn the color line to the extent of segregating its few colored summer students. While the big white colleges are rapidly casting color restrictions the colored trustees of Howard University, a colored institution, continue to give aid to a restriction that denies to colored educators the right to hope for the presidency of the institution, on the score "it is not time yet." It will be interesting to watch the Bull Moose party go about its task of breaking up the Solid South. "The Bee was the first to mention Dr. James E. Shepard as available timber for the presidency of Howard University. The Durham Reformer took the cue, giving its hearty endorsement of the suggestion, and then the alert Washington correspondents spread the report throughout the country. W. T. Vernon has landed a job at last. He is president of Campbell College. Jackson, Miss. "Every little bit helps." Do not forget the musical picnic given by the Washington Conservatory of Music, August 8th, at Eureka Park, Anacostia. RETIRES LIEUT. COL. A Deserving Officer Retires. Maj Arthur Brooks, commanding the 1st Separate Battalion, N. G. D. C., has been retired at his own request, with the rank of Heutenant colonel. He leaves the service with the respect and esteem of all with whom he has held official relations. It was due to his untiring efforts and high capacity for command that the 1st-Separate Battalion has been raised to one of the best units in the brigade. Prior to the reorganization of the National Guard in 1857, Maf. Brooks was identified with the High School Cadet Corps, where he received his first military training, and was appointed captain in Company A upon the reorganization of the Guard. He was commissioned major December 10, 1897, which position he has held continuously until promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel. July 13, 1912 Maj. Brooks for many years has been the military instructor of the Colored High School Cadet Corps. The First Separate Battalion has participated in several encampments and maneuvers with regulars, and has always acquitted itself with marked ability. Maj. Brooks commanded the battalion in the celebrated maneuvers in Massachusetts in 1909, when the National Guard of the District of Columbia went north by sea. On shipboard as well as in the field the discipline and efficiency of this command were noticeable. Maj. Brooks was commended in high terms by Maj. Gen. Wood, in command of the maneuvers. Gen. Harries sent the following letter to President Taft following the Boston trip: "I have the honor to report that Maj. Arthur Brooks, commanding the 1st Separate Battalion, has performed the full tour of duty with this brigade in field maneuvers. It is a great pleasure to testify, without reservation, to the admirable qualities of Maj. Brooks as the commanding officer of one of the most efficient elements of this organization. The duties assigned to Maj. Brooks' battalion during the advance on Boston were uncommonly arduous, but every exigency was met in soldierly spirit and with much efficiency. This brigade and the National Guard of the country appreciate your consideration in permitting Maj. Brooks to again demonstrate his remarkable efficiency. THE SOUTH'S OPINION OF ROOSEVELT. What He Said of the Bosses. Lake Charles, Lai, July 8. 1912. Editor The Bee: Ex-President Roosevelt has severely criticised the Republican leaders who helped him four and eight years ago. Mr. Roosevelt has had a great deal to say of Jabez about these so-called Republican bosses, and he has said a great many hard things about these supposed bosses. What about these Republican bosses when they were helping him when he was shaping himself for the Republican nomination? When Senator Foraker and others were helping him. I will ask the people of this country if they have ever witnessed in the history of this country a greater boss than Mr. Roosevelt. In seven years and nine months he bossed the entire Republican party from a ward politician up to the Republican National Committee. After the Republican party has honored him with that great honor he is now trying to disorganize that grand old party. Because the Republican party failed to allow him to dictate his nomination, he is now trying to organize what he calls a new independent Republican party. So he can be the whole cheese. Failing to organize it, he is now turning his eyes upon the Democratic party and is trying to dictate and say everything mean about that party. A party whom he has always been against. The quicker the American people let Mr. Roosevelt know that they are tired of him and his so-called Progressive ideals, the better it will be for all the people. He wants to be the general boss of all the bosses. Mr. Editor, let me congratulate you upon your great victory you won in your great fight against that great antagonism, Angel, Mr. Roosevelt. Hoping you will continue your great fight for your people as you see it and I pray that our Creator will guide you all the way through life. I will send you one dollar in my next letter for my paper.

Mr. Benjamin Griffith Brawley, until recently professor of English in Howard University, but now Dean of the College Department of Atlanta Baptist College, and Miss Hilda D.

A. Lightfoot, President Dr. St. Elmo Davenport, Secretary this city, Miss Prowd met Mr. Brawley. The acquaintance soon rlpened into love which culminated in the ceremony which was performed Saturday, July 20th, 1912. The bride who is beautiful in appearance and the possessor of a charming personality, was gorgeously attired in white lace over white satin. A handsome lace vell, fastened with a tiere of precious stones, trained with the dress. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses. Her attendants were two little girls who preceded her carrying baskets of flowers. They were Miss Marlon Scott, a niece of Dr. Waldron, and Miss Elizabeth Syphax, daughter of Mr. John Syphax, who led the bride to the altar. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal, including Dr. and Mrs. Waldron, repaired to the lawn at the back of the house where a photograph of the group was taken by Mr. Freeman, the 14th Street Photographer. The happy pair left the house amid a shower of rice to take the 5 o'clock train for Boston, where they will remain until September. Mr. and Mrs. Brawley will reside in Atlanta, the field of the professor's labor. (By R. H. Brooks 723 So. Fairfax St.) On last Sunday afternoon, July 21, at the Alfred Street Baptist Church, a vast audience assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of one of Alexandria's oldest citizens, Mr. Edgar Johnson, Sr., who died Thursday, July 18, at his late residence.

His demise is also lamented by a host of friends both young and old, colored and white. Rev. A. Trutt, of the Alfred Street Church, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Allison, of the Second Presbyterian Church (white), paid a high tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. The floral offerings were many.

I was astonished on one occasion when a light complexioned man holding a box seat later on another holder of a ticket for a seat in the same box came in, he being quite dark, the light complexioned gent came to me personally and asked me if I could change his seat as he did not want to sit in a box with a black man. Had I been allowed to use my own ideas of launching a theatre, I would have given every charitable society a night at the Howard and turned over all proceeds to them. In that way many people would have been obligated to show some appreciation to what would have been considered a worthy enterprise. But no, B and R. thought it was the easiest money in the world; but how changed they became after the first month. I had the great Man Monkey booked to open at the Howard, and to prove that they were running the house to suit their own ideas, they wired to my booking agent here in Chicago to cancel that act, when at that time Consul was the very biggest attraction in vaudeville. They knew nothing about the show business to hear them tell it, but the way they acted was far different. In the forming of the Howard Stock Co. they entered into it without saying anything to me about it. They spent a week in New York City talking to every colored performer in town. They had Will Marion Cook, Alex Rogers, Jesse Shipp; then went to Hertig and Seamon, Gus Hill, and Barton. These men had all handled colored shows. Cook wanted a million dollars for the music, Rogers wanted another million for book and staging. Shipp did not keep an appointment with them, as he had signed to come here to the Pekin, which he did. Now they got every colored performer in New York excited. When they compared the salaries that these performers wanted, it amounted to so much that they asked the above mentioned managers what a colored show ought to cost. Some told them that Smith was the man as he had been at the business a long time and was the man to attend to such matters. They then wired me to come to Baltimore and I did. They then informed me for the first time that they wanted a stock company and for me to go to New York and not to return until I got one, in the mean time stipulating how much they wanted to spend. They never mentioned the matter to me that they had been to New York and consulted every colored performer that they could come in contact with; so when I got to New York and commenced to look the talent over, they gave me the laugh, especially when I would say I will give you so much to come to the Howard. The amount of money they gave me to use for the stock company would not cover the amount that Cook, Rogers and Troy expected of them, consequently I had no chance, as they had spoiled my chances to do any business with the gentlemen. But what I did do, with all the obstacles that B. and R. made for me succeeded in giving to the people of Washington the best stock company that was ever organized and produced a star, in the making of J. Lubrie Hill. Did you people appreciate it? No! No! you said it was a better show than the Smart Set, but not for your money. Then after the failure of the people to support the stock company, they became very much dissatisfied and threatened to turn the theatre over to the whites. Now, the number of white people that you can get to visit the Howard Theatre would not make as much noise as a fish. I am used to catering to whites and I could not get them to sit down when they did come. I mentioned before that your city for colored people was a freak show town. I will tell you why. To make the Howard a success you would have to operate it on the impossible lines. The real or fancies he’s real don't consider that a place where nothing but Negroes goes is just good enough for him. Secondly, the attractions are not up to the standard that he or she likes to see. I will make the Howard a success. Put the same attractions in the Howard that are booked in the National and the Belasco, have the automobiles crowded with white people all rushing to get tickets to see Willie Collier, May Irwin, Eddie Foy, Julian Eltinge, The Follies and all of the W. A. Brady Shows and the Klaw and Erlanger Shows, then a big gallery with a capacity of about 1200, charging 50 cents and 75 cts, for the 25c. seats, then you will find the Howard in demand by colored people. There is another chance and that is time. The people that are not born when they are born must grow with the Howard. I am now in the most successful position that any colored manager was ever connected with. I am going in vaudeville with the biggest colored act that ever played. Booked through the Consolidated Managers Association. I must say a few words about the Dudley Enterprises: I wish his Washington House had about a 600 capacity, then he would be a factor so that the Howard would not be missed. In conclusion should any of my personal friends read this article I know they know that I have tried to be truthful. Let the Jews get mad, they are wise enough to let some one else front a losing game. A London cable to the New York Times says Jack Johnson is no longer a Freemason. The puglist was initiated in the Dundee Lodge some months ago. This gaye rise to considerable discussion and the Provincial Grand Lodge of Forfairshire appointed a special committee to hold an inquiry. The committee's report says the meeting of the Lodge at which the initiation took place was illegal, and that therefore the election is null and void. The Dundee Lodge will be asked to show cause why it should not be suspended. (This was not the cause—it was the color of Johnson's skin.) The Americans who go to Europe every year have created a spirit of colorphobia with the above results. When this Lodge received its charter it gave them the right to enter, pass and raise candidates. They also have the right of holding regular and special meetings of the Lodge or continued meetings, therefore any business transacted at such meetings was legal. The substance of the matter is this: If the Grand Lodge of Forfairshire had passed on this work—why, when Johnson returned to the States he could have visited any white Lodge in the United States and they would have been compelled to admit him. Therefore the line was touched with the results as stated. As it is a well known fact that any colored man that is made in a regular lodge the whites are compelled to admit him. The only regular lodge of Masons among the colored are the Incorporated bodies who work under the protection of the United States laws. JUSTICE THOMAS H. ANDERSON Mr. Justice Thomas H.

IS ONLY 31 YEARS OLD. Started as Coachman, Now Gowns Large Apartments in Brockton. Brockton, Mass., July 14.—Today saw Watt. Terry, a Negro, 31 years old, owner of real estate in Brockton valued at half a million dollars. Ten years ago Terry came to Brockton from the hills of Virginia penniless. He went to work as coachman for a local physician, later was assistant janitor at the Y. M. C. A., later a Pullman porter, then a shoe worker and finally he began to dabble in real estate until today he closed a deal whereby he now controls $500,000 worth of property. Papers were passed between Thomas B. Inness and Terry, whereby the Checkerton and Chessston apartments go to Terry. The price paid is not made public, but it is in the vicinity of $200,000. The two apartments are on Wales avenue, Belmont and Cottage streets They are laid out in the form of a checker board. There are 64 suites in each apartment house, and in front of each is a beautiful lawn. It is in the most exclusive section of Brockton. Terry's rise has been little short of phenomenal. His first job in Brockton was as coachman for Dr. J. E. Packard; then he went to the Y. M. C. A. as assistant janitor and immediately became interested in the evening school. He enrolled and studied diligently for a long time. Finally he went away and was a Pullman conductor for a while; then he returned to Brockton and went to work in a shoe factory near here, starting at $7 a week. By keeping his nose to the grindstone he worked his pay up to $25, and then turned his attention to investing his savings. In the meantime he married Miss Mabel E. Ashport and so bought a home at 6 Elmer street. Friends advised him on what property to invest and he did so well that he quit the factory and established an office. Previous to the deal of the Checkerton and Chesston, Terry got control of about $200,000 worth of property in Montello and $100,000 in the centre of the city. Most of his property is apartment houses. Terry is a personal friend of Booker T. Washington and he has accepted an invitation of the latter to, speak at the annual gathering of the National Business League in Chicago next month. He says Brockton people have never shown any inclination to be prejudiced against him because of his color. He likes to be busy and takes his success modestly. He is superintendent of the Messiah Baptist Sunday school and is active in church work. DR. MORSE. Dr. John W. Morse, proprietor of the Morse drug store, 1902 L street, northwest, is one of the most successful pharmacists in this city. He is a young man who has won his way in the drug business by perseverance and careful management of his business. If rumors are true he will shortly lead to the altar one of the most accomplished young ladies in this city. His coming marriage is looked for with much anxiety. Twenty-five thousand dollars has been subscribed toward a fund of $100,000, which it is proposed to raise for the building of a magnificent memorial in Niles, Ohio, in honor of the late President William McKinley, who was born there. Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, who is 78 years of age, was baptized Saturday, July 13th, in the Episcopal faith in Jersey City, N. J., by Rev. Augustine Elmerdorf, rector of Holy Cross Episcopal Church. For the best and attractive home propositions, see Shelby J. Davidson, Dietz Building.

VISIBLE WELLINGTON "BABEK" CURES MALARIA READ WHAT PROMINENT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY: Kloeckner, G. — I wish to state that two bottles of "Elixir Babek" I purchased of you at the recommendation of a friend has proven of incalculable benefit to my daughter's health.

Photo by American Press Association. SWINDLED OF $120,000,000 IN YEAR 1063 Persons Arrested and 452 Convicted. The sum of $120,000,000 was filched from the American people during the last fiscal year by swindlers who operated largely through the United States mails, according to a statement just made in a formal report to Postmaster General Hitchcock. This was an increase of approximately $50,000,000 in the aggregate of the previous year. Of those who are alleged to have operated the fraudulent schemes 1063 were arrested by postoffice inspectors. They included persons in all walks of life, merchants and mechanics, politicians and professional men, paupers and millionaires. During the year, which ended June 30 last, 452 persons were convicted and sentenced and 571 cases are now awaiting final disposition. Postmaster General Hitchcock's order to inspectors to collect evidence that would warrant criminal prosecution of the swindlers gradually is building a wall of portection against such frauds against the American people. Before that the punishment was only a fraud order forbidding the delivery of mail to such operators, who worried but little. They merely changed their names, addresses and the title of their "businesses," continuing their operations until another fraud order caught up with them. The report that those fraud manipulators, who usually exploit bogus mines, fake remedies and worthless lands, constitute a distance class of law, breakrs.act,drJfI,a-taoln shrdlrdl law-breakers. MIDDY KILLED BY FALL Placed Cap on Topmast of Old Warship and Lost His Hold. After a successful effort to climb to the topmast of the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's old flagship, now moored at the naval academy wharf, Annapolis, Md., and pierce his cap with a spike which adorns the highest point, thus fulfilling the academy tradition thought to be a necessity for all newly entered midshipmen, William L. Bullpeck, who entered the institution only six weeks ago, fell 100 feet to the deck while attempting to descend and broke his neck, dying instantly. Bullock was with his roommate, Midshipman Alston, also from Texas, when the fatal accident took place. He reached the highest point of the mainmast without serious difficulty and transfused his cap on the splice at the top. In attempting to descend Bullock tried to slide down a single rope, and his hands were evidently burned by the rapid descent. He attempted to grab the mast or other ropes and lost his hold completely. Bullock struck the crossbars, and it is thought he then recived fatal injuries. He struck the deck, 100 feet below. MAN FOOTBALL FOR MULES Kicked From One to Another and Probably Fatally Hurt. Harry Phillips is in a dying condition from the effects of mule kicks which he received while attending to the stock at his father's farm at Fisher's Ferry, near Shamokin, Pa. Phillips heard a noise in the stable, and upon entering found a young mule had slipped a halter and was running about among the others. The mule kicked Phillips in the stomach, hurling him senseless beneath the heels of another mule, which in turn kicked him against another. The last planted its heels against the young man's abdomen and head. The father, George Phillips, hearing the noise at the barn, saved his son from instant death. Believes Police Incited Murder Rosenthal and Tells of Ride on Night of Crime. Three Burns detectives took up the hunt for the men who murdered Herman Rosenthal in New York to prevent him giving to the district attorney evidence, that would have put crooked policemen in danger of Sing Sing. After the three Burns men had questioned William Shapiro, driver of the car used by the killers, they went to work believing that Rosenthal was slain by a gang that was procured by Bald Jack Rose, with the knowledge or the approval of a policeman. From Shapiro, who is trying to save himself, they secured the most astonishing information yet obtained. Shapiro says that the assassination was a leisurely affair, that the killers did not leap desperately at their work at all, and that they lounged in front of the Metropole before and after they pistolled Rosenthal, with no apparent fear of arrest. He repeated what has already been told of the call for the car, told of picking up Rose and a couple of others in front of Sharkey's, and said: "When we started uptown Rose said nothing about trouble ahead. It wasn't until after Rosenthal was killed that I was told that nobody need be afraid about getting into trouble. We went on uptown and the boys stopped in several places to get a drink. The trip took up finally to a house in West Forty-fifth street, where Rose wanted to see somebody. We started back pretty late, and it wasn't until nearly two o'clock in the morning that we got in the neighborhood of Sixth avenue and Forty-third street." Shapiro at this point was sharply questioned as to whether Rose left the car here or whether Bald Jack stayed in for the Metropole job. His answers are withheld because of their importance in the investigation. It is known, though, that he put the district attorney and the Burns men on the right track and that he told them of a change in the make-up of the party. Additional passengers, who seemed to be waiting by appointment, were taken into the car, and at least one man stepped out. Shapiro went on: "I was then ordered to drive down to the Metropole slowly. I saw several policemen not far from the Metropole. Three of my passengers got out of the car slowly and walked over to the Metropole." Shapiro was not left alone in the gray automobile. Who remained behind to watch him and to see to it that the gray car would not disappear before the need, of its passengers cannot be revealed, because that would hamper the investigation. But it was evident that the car was guarded coolly and systematically as part of a deliberately worked out plot. "The three stopped in front of the Metropole," Shapiro continued. "They spoke to somebody who appeared to have come out of the restaurant just about the time they got there. Pretty soon the man they were talking to went back into the restaurant and was gone two or three minutes. Then another man came out and looked arund. And just as he glanced from side to side the shooting began. I was scared then and would have given anything to get out of the mess, but a man in the car with me pressed a revolver to my head and asked me if I wanted to die. I didn't and I sat still, with my hand on the wheel. "The men that-shot Rosenthal walked away from him with their revolvers in their hands. They put the guns in their pockets without any rush, and they stood in the middle of the street half a minute before they started back towards me. They strolled back, walkink slowly and they got in the car as easy and quiet as you could imagine." The deputy commissioner did not hesitate to say that he is investigating the movements of Lieutenant Charles Becker, Rosenthal's enemy and Rose's friend, as closely as he is going into the movements of Bald Jack. Becker has been questioned and questioned. He has been deprived of his authority as head of the strong arm squad. Charles Bolesky, twenty-five years old, a prominent contract miner, after finishing his work for the day, was struck by a falling piece of rock, hurled down a shaft and instantly killed at the Bast colliery at Shenandoah, Pa. At the Draper colliery Michael Sulliwan, thirty-eight years old, of Gilberton, was killed under a fall of coal. No Money For Indians.

The Sunday School picnic of the First Baptist church is planned for Friday, July 20. We are expecting a grand and enjoyable time. Miss Lillian Greene has been on the sick list. We are glad to report that she is rapidly improving. Mr. Charles William Chancelor made a flying trip to Washington last Tuesday on a business engagement. The special offering taken in the first Baptist church July 14, was a fine success. The contribution amounted to $117.45. We want to take this opportunity to thank our many friends for their hearty support in contributing to such a worthy cause. Miss Francis Ruffin has opened a very inviting ice cream parlor on Culpepper Street just opposite the station. The people at Turnbull had rally services last Sunday. Rev.

Master Keith Madison read a most excellent paper before the society last Sunday, upon the subject "Christian Common Sense." Rev. Anthony Deane, pastor of the First Baptist Church, is preaching a series of sermons on the ten commandments. His subject next Sunday morning will be "Why should we honor our parents?" Come out and hear him. CLAMMED BY DEATH. The many friends of Miss Emma Peterson, of 1515 Church street, were shocked to hear of her sudden death at the residence of Mrs. Jennie Brown, of 304 T street, northwest, on July the 9th. Though not well, having recently gone through a severe operation, her many friends had hoped she was on the road to recovery. Her funeral was held from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of which she had been a member for 23 years, having joined by letter, from the First Baptist Church of Bladenburgh, where she was baptized 41 years ago. Resolutions were read from the Bladenburgh church, also from the Helping-hand Club of the Nineteenth St.1 Baptist Church. Rev. Jarvis., Walker, Howard and Ricks spoke of the worth and goodness of this most estimable sister, of her love for her church and the poor. Her charity to the poor could not be mentioned. A solo entitled "A LITTLE WHILE." was sung by her little Godchild, Marjorie V. Ware, whom she dearly loved. She leaves to mourn her loss, a host of friends who knew her worth, also the church has lost a faithful member, who's ready aid and assistance will be greatly missed. None knew her but to love her. None named her but to praise. The voice at midnight came, She started up to hear. A mortal arrow pierced her frame, She fell but felt no fear. Samuel T.

COL. W. H. LESTER The Bee's esteemed friend, Col. W. H. Lester, of Ithaca, N. Y., is in the city the guest of his son. There is not a grander man in this world than Col. Lester. He is erect and continues to hold that dignified military air that was so noticeable in days gone by. He paid the Bee office a visit this week and related very entertainingly many reminiscences of by-gone days. Since he has been here he has been given many social functions and his two sons, Will and Jack, have royally entertained him. Today he will visit Baltimore, Md., and return to this city Monday and the latter part of next week the noble Colonel will leave for his home in Ithaca. There is not a more genial man one would desire to meet than Col. Lester. Col. Lester was born in Baltimore, Md., August 18, 1837.
