find that bright, keen thoughts refuse TO

should be proud to have produced such

2. B. Sanborn declared that no white
man could discuss the question of raising
the negro with the same fitness as such
a negro as Mr.. Washington. He deplored
the fact that those who predict the fu-
ture of the negro race usually take the
dark view.
Color. he said, did not establish any
intrinsic differences in races. He looked
upon the question of mixed races and ap-
proved of Kelly AIiller's statement that
the mixture of blood had even now af-

many whites in this country.

according to their gifts, the more intelli-
gent ones being given places in the house.
In her opinion. the advance of the negro
race in the forty years of freedom had
been unparalleled in history.

SUCCESSOR TO CHIEF PARIS.
The Underwriters Give Their Views
Relative to the Appointments


delegation of fire Underwriters called
upon Commissioner Macfarland yesterday
TO talk over several matters with him, and
especially the appointment of a successor
TO Joseph Paris as Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department. The committee was
composed of Meyer Cohen, Henry Wells,
Col. r. w Tyler H. K. Simpson, A. n.
Hamilton and w Riley Deeble. Speaking
to the Commissioners relative to the ap-
pointment of the new Chief of the Fire
Department, the committee expressed the
| hope that a man would be chosen who
would build up the department and put
1t on the best possible footing. 1t was
said that selection should be made with
regard to the abilities of the chief. and
without reference TO whether he was or
was not an expert fireman. The commit
tee sought to impress on the mind of the
Commissioner the fact that it was of the
greatest importance that the Fire De-
partment should be very much improved,
alike as to it's personnel, its discipline,
and it's efficiency The man placed at
the head of the department should raise
the department to the highest utility as
protection TO life and property of the
District.
The delegation did not present to the
Commissioner the name Of any candidate.
IT is understood tnat the names OF several
men were mentioned and their availabil
~ somewhat discussed, but the under
writer's came TO talk over the situation
presented in the Fire Department rather
than to advocate the name of any man for
the place. Their object was to state the
views of the insurance men of the city as
to the needs of the Fire Department, and
the best means to pursue in order TO i'm
prove it's condition Their view was that
the Commissioners should find man with
broad views executive ability, and force
of character to preside over the depart
ment without reference TO his being an
experienced fireman.
The committee also talked with the
Commissioner relative to the office and
duties of the Fire Marshal They told Mr..
Fire Marshal was important one, not
only from the standpoint Of estimating
the fire losses, but from the standpoint of
constant inspection Of cellars, business
houses, etc, as a means of preventing
fires. They thought the Office ought TO be
enlarged and made of greater efficiency.
] + need be the marshal should have an as
Sistant the committee thought, in order
that the work of inspection of premises
might be better and more frequently
done.
The committee called the attention of
the Commissioner TO the extensive use
OF gasoline in the District, and asked
him that the regulations in regard to its
use be rigidly enforced.
Commissioner Macfarland, after listen
ing attentively to all that was said, and
after discussing some OF the points rails
ed with his callers. told them that he APP
preciated ali the advice that had been
given
