he was not treated with respect he

officers should be summoned. This
simmered things down a little and the
ordinance was duly read and passed.

A TRUE FRIEND
Of the Negro Race, Speaks Wisely Of
the Georgia Outrages--Booker 7.
Washington's Views,

Philadelphia, Pa, April 25.-Booker
T. Washington, founder and principal
of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute, in Alabama, who arrived
here to-day, was questioned regarding
the Georgia lynchings. He said:
Il would like to speak at length upon
these Georgia occurrences and others
of like nature which have taken
place in recent years, but in siew of
my position and hopes in the interest
of the Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama,
and the education of our people, feel
constrained to keep silent and not en-
gage in any controversy that might re-
act upon the work to which l am now
lending my efforts.
81 think I can be of more service to
the race by giving my time and
strength in helping to lay the founda-
ton for an education which will be
the permanent cure for such outrages.
81 do not mind adding that am OPP
posed to mob violence under any and
all circumstances. Those guilty of
crime should be surely, swiftly and
terribly punished, but by legal meth
DDS. AS rule the men guilty of these
outrages are ignorant individuals who
have had no opportunity to secure an
education and moral .self-restraint.
"The solution of our political diff
culties is to be found in the thorough
mental, religious and industrial educa-
ton of both races in the South. 1t is
an encouraging fact to note that of the
hundreds of colored men who have
been educated in the higher institu
lions of the South not one has been
guilty of the crime of assaulting
woman"
Mr. Washington tonight at the
Academy of Music addressed large
audience in the interest of the Tus-
kegee Institute. His only reference
made to the Georgia lynching was in
the introduction to his address, when
he said
"In the interest of the more far
reaching and fundamental work which
we are trying to do at Tuskegee /
shall refrain from any direct and de-
tailed discussion of the recent out
RACES in the South, which I know are
uppernsost in your minds and hearts
and make us bow our heads in sadness.
The only permanent remedy for such
crimes as have been recently perpe-
trated in Georgia and the only perma-
nent remedy for mob violence is in the
thorough education of all the people in
the South-educatio that shall reach
the head, the hand, the heart, so that
in discussing the educational needs Of
my people this evening after all we are
considering the problem which is fun
damental in the salvation Of the whole

ANOTHER CONFESSION
BY Henry Brunot, Which duplicates His
Mother in Two Murders.

By Henry Brunot, Which duplicates His
Mother in Two Murders.
Pana, Ills, April 25.-Young Henry
Brunot, who is confined in the county
Jail at Taylorsville for the murder of
his aunt, Jane Brunot, on April 10,
made his second confession to-day, i'm
plicating his mother, Anna Brunot.
Mrs. Brunot was arrested. together
with her son and her affianced hus-
band, Frederick Sibley, last Friday, but
was released. Young Brunot said to-
day his mother knew her sister-in-
laws body was in the well and showed
him and Sibley where to dig earth to
fill the well.
Brunot also admitted having bought
arsenic for his mother few days be-
fore his father died some three years
ago, forging his fathers name to the
order for the drug. He said his
mother told him she used the poison
to kill rats. Two days after giving her
the drug, his father collapsed at the
dinner table and his death followed in
a few moments. His mother, he said,
received $4,000 insurance on his life
two weeks later.
Mrs. Brunot tonight said her sons
statement was base lie, that he was
fool who could not keep his tongue. A
warrant for Mrs. Brunot's arrest has
been issued.

NEGRO TROOPS

Win Probably be Utilized in the Philip
pines-An Assimilation Hoped For
Washington, April Pa proposition
to utilize negro troops to large ex-
tent in future military operations in
the Philippines is attracting much at
tention and it is believed will be con-
sidered by the administration in the
near future. Such policy is urged
on the theory that certain racial afiili-
ations may be utilized in a way to de-
feat rebellious acts on the part of Agui-
naldo and his party, and to bring peace
to the newly acquired possessions of
the United States in the east. One
third of the population of the Philip
pines are negroes of the same race as
those in the United States, and while
not numerous aboutManila, comprise
nearly the entire population of some
of the islands. The advocates of the
scheme believe that in short time
there would be an assimilation between
the negroes of the Philippines and their
kindred from the United States, and
that there would follow Tor the colored
people opportunities to get homes and
possibilities of careers they could not
hope for in this country.

GOVERNOR TUNNEL
win Not Follow Governor Stones Lead
the Senatorial Matter,

DOVER. Del, April Ex-Governor Tun-
nell, in an interview to-day on the prob
ability of his following the example of
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, and ap-
pointing a United States Senator from
Delaware to succeed Senator George
Gray, the Legislature having adjourned
without elecing his successor, said: II
have given the matter NO consideration,
and there is no probability Of my appoint
ing Senator. l hardly think it would be
worth while to take such action for the
reason that If I should appoint a Senator
he could only serve until the next session
Of Congress and would then have TO run
his chances of being seated or turned
down.
so far as Governor Stone OF Pennsyl-
vanis, establishing a precedent is concern
ed, l do not think it viii hold, as decis-
ions rendered on this point have been in
vogue for many years, and it is hardly
probable that the Senate will now reverse
it's opinion in this particular case"

ARGU NJ ENTS
For the Defense Of Mrs. George. Occu-
pied Yesterdays Session Of the
Court.

Canton, O., April 25.-At the adj
journment of court to-day the argu-
ments in the trial of Mrs. George were
little more than half completed. MIR.
Welty and Mr. Pomerene, who will close
for the defense and State respectively,
will occupy to-morrow's session. The
judge has unofficially said that his
charge will not be lengthy, and it may
be delivered tomorrow evening.
AT the opening of court to-day At
torhey James B. Sterling began the
opening address in defense of Mrs.
George. The Barber case dwelt upon
by Mr.. Grant yesterday, was first taken
up. Mr.. Sterling disputed the position
of the State that the testimony of Mrs.
Georges grievances against Saxton
could only be considered in connection
with an implied confession, and then
only in determining the degree Of the
crime. He said the wrongs of the ac-
cused were offered and should be ac-
cepted as showing the circumstances
and conditions surrounding the threats
which it was sought to be proved she
had made. Later Mr.. Sterling took up
a review of the testimony. He was ex-
pected to occupy the greater part OF
the day.
Early in the summing up of the tes-
timony Mr. Sterling diverged to pay his
respects to Saxton and the other people
connected with the case. In this line
he represented Saxton in the most I'M
favorable light and deeply upon the
alleged wrecking of the George home.
This occupied the time until the noon
adjournment.
Mr.. Sterling continued to talk DUR
ing two hours of the afternoon ses-
sion, reviewing and summing up the
testimony and especially attacking the
testimony of Mrs. Eckroat, the eye
witness, on the ground of her alleged
excessive use of morphine and the con-
tention that by reason of the darkness
it was impossible for any one to have
been recognized under the admitted
conditions.
Mr.. Welty, who is closing for the de-
tense, had spoked but little more
than an hour at the adjournment. He
cited additional authorities on the legal
propositions. He then began review
of the life of Mrs. George, so far as it
has been introduced in evidence in this
case, representing her as an unsophisti-
Gated country woman, novice IN the
ways of the world until she came in
contact with Saxton. Her fall he de-
scribed in detail, and was just enter
ing upon a review of the threats
which constitute considerable volume
of the evidence and the circumstances
under which they were made, when ad-
journment interviewed.
