THE ALMAs TEMPLE BANQUET.
Nine Candidates Initiated Into Mys-
teries of the Shriners.

At National Rifles Armory last night
nine candidates were initiated into the
mysteries of the Ancient Arabic Order of
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. Afterward
novitiates and members of Almas Temple
to the number of nearly six hundred re-
galed themselves at the monthly banquet
which always follows the Introduction of
the candidates into the order.
The candidates We're conducted across
the sands in approved fashion and
emerged from the ordeal in condition
which enabled them to successfully with
stand the miIder amusement which ac-
companied the repast. The banquet was
served in the drill hall. Six tables run
ming the entire length of the han afforded
seating accommodation for 500 guests. and
there was not a single seat left vacant.
f. r. Hay acted as toastmaster. He was
seated at a long table at the head of the
hall. At the same table were seated the
high officials of AlmaS Temple, wearing
the red fez of the order.
After the tables were cleared Colonel
Hay called upon }. A. Tanner. one of the
newly initiated, to express the sentiments
of the novitiates. Mr.. Tanner replied
briefly. expressing the satisfaction he felt
at having passed safely through the or

The recital by Colonel Hay of a story
which involved the A. =. A. evoked from

which aroused his auditors to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. He said that he had the
honor of being associated prominently
with the A =. a, which now seemed to
have served its purpose, namely, that of
protecting the free speech. free religion,
and free schools, which are the buIwark
of this country He further said that he
still felt and was not afraid to speak the
sentiments of the order. which was that
of defence of American citizenship against
the Vaccinations of a secret power which.
If it had its way, would not permit free
religion, free speech, nor free schools
The speaker brought his remarks to a
close amid tremendous applause.
The next speaker was Prof. Murch who
was introduced as the shortest man in

and by way Of contrast John G. Lacey
was introduced as the tallest man in
Georgetown. Among others who spoke

THE SEARCH BEING PUSHED.
Local Detectives Hunting for the

and Lizzie Michel. says the New York
detective, were brought to this city from
the gypsy camp between this city and
Alexandria, Va, and taken to the horse
bazar. Louisiana Avenue. near Tenth
Street northwest, where one of the girls
claims she found the slip of paper bear
ing the name Gertrude" a twelve-year-
old sister of the missing Mccormick boy.
1t is understood nobody about the bazar
was able to remember having seen the
girls as having been there before.
Every effort to locate Mr.. Michel, the
father of Hannah and Lizzie Michel, who
has mysteriously disappeared, has failed
The detectives appear interested in this
to find some clue to his whereabouts. This
is in line with the theory that the slip
of paper taken from Hannah Michel last
Friday afternoon may have direct bear
ing on the kidnapping of young McCor-
mick. There are those who believe the
boy may have been spirited away from
the camp across the river before the visit
of the detectives. and with this possibility
in view, the search for Michel will be
pushed.
Detective O'ConnelI made a report over
the lonS-distance telephone last night to
Captain Titus. at New York Among
other things. he told his chief that he
was working hard; that the investigation
was going on satisfactorily, and that he
looked for results within a short period.
He told of an Incident which is said to
have occurred at the Pennsylvania depot
two weeks ago. 1t was said that a gypsy
had called there to enquire as to the cost
of moving certain tentage and other
equipage. Detective o ConneH is said to
have reported to New York that this
gypsy had with him a boy who answered
in part the description of the Mccormick
youth. Moreover, it is said, the detective
reported that the gypsy returned the day
following to the depot without the boy
with his beard shaved and his appearance
changed considerably

ATTACKED BY FIVE MEN.
Il Negro Butler Severely Beaten
With Clubs and stones

George Sales, n negro butler. employed
at the home of NJ W. Hazeltine. 1925 F
Street northwest, was attacked and bru-
tally beaten in an alley in the rear of the
residence last night by five men, and is
now at the Emergency Hospital in a seri-
Gus condition. His assailants made their
escape from the police. IT is said they
are known, and arrests will probably be
made this morning
The story of the affair shows no cause
for the attack on the negro, who has
been in the employ of the Hazeltine fam
lily for nine years. 1t seems that Sales,
with two other servants, was left in
charge of the residence when the family
went to New York several months ago.
Sales and one of the servants were at
the house last night, while man named
Clemens. a gardener. employed at the
Navy Department. was at work in the
rear yard.
The first intimation Sales or the gard
ener had of trouble was about s o'clock
when five young men. all neatly attired
appeared at the gate enclosing the rear
OF the premises. one of the men gave
the bell at the gate a vigorous pull time
after time, until Sales ran out of the
house to see what was the trouble. Glenn
ems stopped his work on hearing the bell,
and claims to have seen the men seize
Sales about the body and carry him from
the yard into an alley in the rear Of the
house. Sales called Justify for assistance
a moment later and Clemens ran to the
gate. from which he could see the five
men beating the butler with clIos and
striking him with rocks.
Policemen Houser and Flanagan were
summoned, and found Sales lying in the
alley. His assailants had disappeared. A
call was sent in for the ambulance, and
the injured man was hurried to the Emer-
gency Hospital. The physicians dressed
the wounds, and under treatment Sales
recovered consciousness. He was very
weak and was unable to talk. He will
probably recover
y search was at once begun for his as
sailants. The police claim to know their
names. and a description of them has
been sent to the various precincts.

DR. ALDERMAN's SUCCESS.

The New Orleans Picayune says that
under the direction of its new president,
DR.. E. A. Alderman, Tulane University
has made greatsr progress in the past
year than in any previous year in its
history ''In this era of expansion and
development" says the Picayune, Tulane
has gotten the fever, but it does not in
tend to annex any foreign territory or to
carry the flag beyond the Constitution, :
Four new departments have been created
and four new professors are to be chosen
and President Alderman has been in
structed to find the right men. The new
chairs are philosophy and pedagogy.
economics and sociology, civil engineering
and electric engineering
The success of DR.. Alderman at Tulane
is most gratifying to his host of friends
in North Carolina, whose confidence in
him has no limits.

GOOD FOR SHERIFF BURNS.

When Grover Cleveland was first nomi-
mated for the presidency, he was held
up to public condemnation because when
sheriff of Buffalo he had with his own
hands pulled the rope that hung q lnur-
derer. His reply was effective, He said
that it was a very unpleasant duty that
devolved upon him as sheriff, AMI that
having accepted the office he had no
right to force his deputies to do the I'M
pleasant duties of the position. That was
full answer to his critics and they soon
abandoned that line of attack.
Sheriff Burns follows the example OF
Mr.. Cleveland. Speaking of the execution
of Lewis Council convicted OF committing
rape on the Goth day Of May, 1900, in
Cumberland county, he says:
THE hanging will take place in the
Jail, and will be private. | will not
allow more than a dozen persons, in
Guiding newspaper reporters, physicians
and deputies to be present | will not
even allow the husband of Ms. West to
be present. Though very unpleasant
duty ito perform, and, * the Governor
does not stay the exc cution, will otey
the mandate OF the law as sheriff of Cum
berland county, and will not attempt to
delegate to some one else such a great
responsibility.

NO DANGER OF INTERFERENCE

Some of the members Of the Virginia
Constitutional Convention are expressing
so many doubts about the various plans
of restricting suffrage that the Richmond
News feels called upon to urge them to
20 forward and adopt the wisest plan and
not to be deferred by bubbles. 1t adds:
1.-THE Supreme Court and the Congress
of these United States have given album
dant evidence that they have no purpose
to interfere in the internal affairs of the
Southern States. Several States have six
years or longer peacefully maintained
and voted under the grandfather clause
in their suffrage provisions for instance.
SO long as we are dealing honestly with
ourselves and the world and doing only
such. things as we can give good, honest
reasons for, let us do, fearing nothing.
II we halt at every step to conjure up
ghosts to evade all possible dangers and
contingencies, to split every hair OF law
and trace out every tangle OF technical
ity, we will do nothing and will have
every reason to be ashamed

A SOCIALIST STILL.


1t was only few years ago that Johnnie
McI-aurin was SO devoted to socialism,
that he swallowed the Ocala platform
With its suh-treasury and government
ownership of railroads. He was also so
devoted to populism that he wanted the
Democrats Of South Carolina to vote in
a body solidly for Weaver for President =
Asheboro Courier.
The only difference between Debs, the
head of the Socialists. and Hanna, the
head of the looters by way of subsidies
and protection, is this: The Socialists
wish the state to own everything, hire
everybody and put an end to individualism
and competition. The Protectionists want
the Government to give bounties and
subsidies to the few to the end that few
trusts will own everything. employ every
body and put an end to what they call
exaggerated individualism" and "des-
tructive competition The Socialists
say that If the Hanna plan is made per-
manent, it will ultimately lead to State
socialism.
Both are based upon false principles,
both are contrary to good public policy.
both are in conflict with the spirit and
letter CT the Federal Constitution. and
both are dangerous to the healthy life OF
the Republic.
If McLaurin was a Socialist in 1892
when he advocated the sub-treasury and
the like, he is a Socialist still when he
advocates ship subsidies and the like.
Both are in conflict with the doctrine.

NOVEL SUFFRAGE PLAN.

We have been much interested in the
novel plan said to have the endorsement
of Senator Morgan, that is pending in the
Alabama Constitutional Convention. 1t
whites in Alabama by extending the suf-
frage to white women and withholding it
from those of negro birth Senator Nor
gan sustains it's constitutionality on the
ground that when the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments were passed they
only applied to males, as they alone were
then contemplated as exercising the sur
frage.
Senator Morgan Is high authority upon
constitutional questions and if he is cor
rectly quoted the matter is not to be
lightly set aside. When Senator George
put the understanding clause in the Mis-
sissippi constitution nearly everybody said
preme court upheld it. When the grand
father" clause was incorporated in the
Senators declared it clearly unconsttu-
tional, but later study caused the Senator
who had been Chief Justice of Louisiana
to change his mind.
Who can say that Senator Morgan S
white woman Acknowledgement is not con-
stitutonal, or that it would not result
in removing the evil and danger of negro
rule? 1t is not SO wise or practicable as
the Mississippi and Louisiana plans. be-
cause it still leaves the ballot in the
hands of large number of negro men
who have shown that they cannot use it
wisely. AS long as they have the ballot,
they will constitute either solid mass
of votes against good government or a
purchasable element that would make
Alabama politics as corrupt as Philadel-
piha politics. Nothing worse could come
to any community.
