Mr.. Bright Williamson, presl-

some interesting facts and figures

their entire crop with tobacco, and
have their cotton, corn and other

WANTS TO SELL TO "NlGGERS.'
Brooklyn Woman Looking for the Black
est and Greasiest Possible.

BROOKLYN, April 3.-Mrs. Daniel
KIeinberaer, wife of a wealthy diamond
dealer. who lives at 14s Fountain Avenue.
Brooklyn, advertises her house for sale
to negroes. She says:
.I want to sell my house TO niggcrs, and
the blacker l can find the better l want
to get them with shiny, greasy faces, WIN
their heads tied up In red bandannas, and
| want them to sit out on the stoop and
smoke their pipes, drink their beer and
show these people around here that they
are not the only people in the world, ike
they think they are.
Mrs. Kleinberger says her dearest
friend is a negro woman She hasn any
thing against negroes herself; in fact
she doesn't care to sell to ''colored peo-
pIe"-it's real "niggers' she wants.
The kleinberger home is in the middle
row of similar houses that are all owned
by their occupants. On one side are the
houses of William Crawford. a shoe
dealer in Manhattan, and julius All. 1.
decorator. On the other side are the
homes of Washington Harrigan ana WIZ
lam Hanson, both employees at the BROOK
lyn Navy Yard, and Townsend haynor
The Raynors are next door TO the Klein
bergers, and Mrs. Raynor has rot ever
spoken to anyone of the diamond dealer
family since they have lived there. Ih'
other neighbors, except the Crawfords
have cut the Kleinbergers, ii is SAID. de-
spite the family's wealth.
The reason for tie social ostracism o
thu Kleinbergers is, according to I'M
neighbors, that they associate with ne

HOUSING OF THE POOR.
Pamphlet on Alley Structures Distribut'
ed Among Realty Agents

A pamphlet is being distributed among
the real estate agents containing well
written article entitled, Alleys, Houses
and the Proper Housing Of the Lowest
Grade of Wage Farmers in the District oil
Columbia"
The article advocates the erection Of
houses on alleys and side streets, with
proper sanitary arrangements, rather
than the erection of tenements. 1t is ar
pued that where more than one family is
gathered under one roof the moral tone
is lower than in habitations occupied by
single families.
The evils of herding human beings like
cattle in pens is seen not only In the ei-
feet on the health of the people, but upon
their moral and social condition as we'll
The unreasonable regulations practic-
ally restricting. through excessive cost,
the erection of houses that could be rent
ed at a reasonable price, is Geplored.

STEERING COMMITTEE
TO ARRANGE PROGRAMME
Republican Leaders Will Pass
Canal Legislation.
Probable That Spooner Plan, Favoring
Panama Route, Will Be Adopted
Senator Allison's Views.

There will be a meeting of the Senate
steering committee within few days,
when a effort will be made to agree upon
a programme of legislation for the re-
mainder of the session. There are now
three or four important measures slated
for passage, but the order in which they
shall be considered has not been decided
upon.
One of these is the Nicaragua Canal
bill. which the Republican leaders OF the
Senate are determined to have action upon
notwithstanding reports to the contrary.
1t has been the understanding for some
time that the canal bill should be taken
up in advance of the Philippines civil gov
ernment bill. There are, however, some
reasons why this latter measure should
be passed at once, and an amicable ar
rangement may be made to place 1t ahead
of the canal bill
Willing for Delay.

opponent in the Senate of the Nfcaraguau
route, provided for in the Hepburn bill

Whether,it will follow the Chinese ex
