The Business of the Congress Crowded
at the Last Minute-Cake
Walks Condemned

PASADENA August 5.-(Off1ce of the
Herald, $50 Colorado street) This was the
closing day of the Afro-American congress.
Looking back over the past four days In
which the congress has been In session the
delegates must admit that they have ac-
complished little besides enjoying Jolly.
socable time. In fact this is admittedly
the principle use of the league. Nearly
the whole of the colored population belong.
though not all are active members The
northern and southern parts of the state
disagree. 1--WE don't want those northern
fellows to run everything their own way.
is a sentiment which is constantly being
expressed by the south. and the northern
fellows are inclined to endeavor to railroad
their resolutions through, elbowins their
brethren aside.
Considerable political strife delayed the
congress until tonight there was more
business in hand to transact than has been
accomplished in the past three days ses-
sion. mainly in the election of officers. AT
10 o'clock only three nominations for presi-
dent had been made, viz: Dudley Sebree
(incumbent), ]. J. Nemore Of Los Angeles
and c. c. Flint. These nominations were
made amidst storm Of argument and chal-
lenge and resulted in the next thing to q
riot. Finally at about II o'clock ballot
was taken and ]. ]. Neimore of Los Angeles
was found to have been elected The cleo
ton was then made unanimous.
Among the resolutions passed this after
noon was one memoriaizing congress to
pass a bill to incorporate the Frederick
Douglass memorial and historical society,
the object of which is to preserve the mem
ory of Frederick Douglass and his work.
When this bill has been passed the hane-
some estate of Frederick Douglass near
Washington, d. c.. comprising a residence
and elaborate grounds $50 acres In extent
will be donated to the society," The incom-
ing state executive committee will further
the business of this resolution.
A resolution was passed condemning
cake walks.
A resolution was passed deploring the
lynching of negroes and providing for the
assessment of secret societies, churches,
etc, of 81 each for a fund TO carry out the
work Of suppressing lynch law.
President McKinley's administration was
endorsed. and the manner in which the
present wssr is being conducted Is particu-
larly approved.
1t was decided to ask the legislature to
repeal the statute which forbids blacks
to marry whites.
A resolution was passed requesting the
press and pulpit to denounce the lectures
OF ]. T. Graves against the black people
as utterly false.
Rev. S. w. Hawkins of Los Angeles was

court, but, as 1t was later found that the
courts of Los Angeles county have no juris-
diction over the alleged offense, the COM
plant was withdrawn. He was charged
with the larceny Of wagon bed. Charles
Mattingy Of Ventura claims that he
leased a wagon to McGreal, with the under
standing that 1t was not to be taken out
of that county. McGreal violated his
agreement and brought the wagon into Los
Angeles county. AS this is violation Of the
law, Mattingly sought to have him pun
ished. The offense had been committed IN
Ventura county however, so the courts Of
that county will have to be used In the

situation thoroughly, but the question Is,
are we going to reach a conclusion quick
est by going on or by waiting?"
Senator White then asked the privilege
OF a conference, and the attorneys all with
drew. After their executive session came
a consultation with the court In his cham
bers, and at noon continuance until next
Wednesday morning was announced.
The city's unwillingness to agree to the con-
tinuance Of the cases unless the restrain
Ing order was again put in operation was
the cause of the long conference. and the
point was finally the subject of compro-
mise. The restraining order was not re-
newed, but it was agreed on the part of the
company that no collectors should be sent
out. All water rents paid at the office Of
the company are to be received, and col
kctions for service connections and tenn
porary service contracts will be made, but
the collectors will not make their visits to
regular consumers.

formant was resident Of University
named Wlcks who saw the story of the
case in tho papers and voluntarily came to
the district attorneys office to prevent, If
possible, the wrong that he believed was
being done. Mr.. Wicks stated that about
year ago the mother of Ada Voss, who
lives at Woodland, and is a friend of his,
sent the girl to his home in University,
with the request that she be allowed to
remain there for time. The mother
frankly acknowledged that the girl had
been running wild, and had gotten beyond
her control apparently caring for moth
ing but the company of the boys in the
whole neghborhood. She, therefore,
thought that If the girl was thrown among
strangers for a time she might settle down.
Mr.. Wicks took the girl as a protege, but
the parents idea that she would settle
down proved decidedly erroneous. All the
bows in the suburban town seemed to
know her in jiffy, and it was only short
time till she was staying out until all
hours of the night. Her temporary guard
ian pleaded, coaxed and advised with her
in vain. The crisis came during the Fiesta
of last year, when the girl one night got
gloriously drunk andraised Cain in gen.
eral, seeming to be everybodys property.
Mr. Wicks could not stand this, so finally
threw up his contract and fired The girl
out into the cold, cold world. Before the
wnd-up. however, the giddy young crea-
ture confided to Mrs. Wicks that before
leaving Woodland she had for three years
been intimate with a prominent man of the
town.
Since she left his home Mr. Wicks has
kept no account of the girls doings or
whereabouts and her mother now remar-
ried and bearing the name of Mrs. A. j.
Mcdonald has either had no interest or
no control of her. Miss Voss is now living
at the corner of Main and Third streets,
and Is only is years old. Beard, who stands
charged with her seduction, is employed In
an attorneys office in this city and is only
d boy. He is now out under bond and will

Z be improper for him to pass judgment in
any manner on a case which was subsa-
quently to be heard on its merits before an
other court.
When court convened the company ;
counsel begged leave to state the situation,
and Senator White set forth the facts as
follows:
when court adjourned yesterday 1t was
the agreement between counsel that the
city's answer to the company's petition
should be in by o'clock in the afternoon.
The opposing counsel were unable to ge;

Judge Chapman did not see them until this
morning. At $3.50 we were again deprived
Of the opportunity to examine them by a.
request that they be returned, to enable

Attorneys Scott and Dunn, for the' city,
were willing to agree to the company's sug-
gestion, but asked in turn that should II
be necessary for the city to file another
answer. the same privilege should be grant

to go that far.
