WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-Bishop Alexan-
der Walters. of New Jersey. Bishop F. w.
Clinton. of North Carolina. and the Rev.
l.. L. Carruthers. of New York, represent
ing the executive committee Of the Afro
American Council, called on President
Roosevelt to-day to ascertain his attitude
toward the movement among certain Re-
publicans of the South to exclude the ne
groes from participation in the councils OF
the party. They were especially solicitous
of ascertaining whether the President in
dorsed the action of the Republicans in
North Carolina and Alabama, with this end
in view. They were presented to the Presi-
dent by Gen. James S. Clarkson, surveyor
of the port of New York. Postmaster Cen
eral Payne arrived at the White House
while the conference was in progress and
was present part of the time.
After the interview the colored men ex-
pressed themselves as much gratifed with
what the President had said to them. They
said the President stated to them that his
actions In all matters affecting the race
was his answer as to his attitude toward
the colored man; that in appointments the
character, intelligence and the esteem In
which the applicant was held in the COM
munity in which he lived would be the first
considerations, and that no man would be
excluded or appointed because of his color.
That he heartily disapproved the efforts of
certain Republicans in the South to exclude
the negroes from participation in politics
was not KNOWN, so they reported as the
President having stated, to those In au-
thority. Moreover. 1t was stated that the
President had cited his action in removing
District Attorney Vaughn, of Alabama,
who was the head of the white Republican
movement in the State, as evidence of his
attitude. 1t is intimated that this attitude
would be further emphasized in the ap-
pointment of his successor.
When Bishop Walters and his associates
departed they expressed themselves as
completely satisfied with the Presidents
attitude, and it is understood they will is
sue a statement defining their position as
well as the Presidents attitude. When they
came to the White House they stated they
were prepared, in case of an unfavorable
reply, to issue an advisory statement to
the colored people of the country in favor

neeS.

SONS OF VETERANS MEET.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE annual en-
mpm of the Sons of Veterans began at
Carroll Hall to-day. The proceedings,
which were private, consisted of the sub
mission of reports of officers and other
routine work. There was a public recep-
ton at noon at which speeches were made
by Chairman Mcfarland, Commander-in-
chief Torrance, of the G. A.. r.; Chaplain
in-chief Ennis, of the Sons of Veterans;
B. H.. Warner, chairman of the local COM
mittee, and others.
After Commissioner Mcfarland had well
coined the delegates to the city, General
Torrance addressed them. He said that the
of the Grand Army had not been
as liberal with their sons as they should
have been. 1t was but natural that the vet
Grams should feel that to them especially
had been intrusted the care of the ark of
the covenant, but they should bear in mind
that the time was fast approaching when
they must surrender that ark, and surely
none would be found more worthy to as
sumo the responsibility than the sons of
the men who had fought to save the Union
and preserve its institutions. His remarks
were loudly cheered.
Chaplain-in-chie Ennis assured General
Torrance that the sons appreciated the con-
fidence of their sires and said that as the
fathers had built a sure foundation they
would try to build worthily upon 1t.
AT 3 O'Clock the Sons of Veterans gave a
reception which was repeated at night.
The later gathering was in honor of the
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army,
the officers OF the sons society and the
ladies constituting the auxiliary societies.

Now, however. that the practice is secret

inference is that Best is developing the

lief being that this is a resort to old-time
