Refusal of the BOOtbIack to Shine
Shoes of Negro Furnishes IA Cause
Celebre.
Rochester, N. Y. May 2S.-The negro
population of this city is tonight
greatly aroused over case growing
cut of the refusal of a bootblack to
shine the shoes of a negro. Under
chapter 1,042, laws of 1895, George w.
Burks, a negro, a few weeks ago sued
Paul Bosso, proprietor of a nom
licensed shoe polishing stand in the
Powers building, for refusing to polish
his shoes. and secured a verdict of
/$113.40 The defendant appealed ard
the case was reversed on the ground
that a shoe polishing stand, maintai in
ed on private property, is not a place
of public accommodation.
This evening the local branch of the
National Afro American Council, 8"
held on indignation meeting and it was
decided that the case be appealed and
that all negro men be asked to sub
scribe to a fund for the this purpose.
Several outside branches of the ma
tio1al Afro-American Council" includ-
ing one at Washington, D. c., and sew
eral in New Jersey have already ex-
pressed their willingness to support any
effort to carry the case to the highest
courts of the county.

Former Pastor in savannah.
New Orleans. May 2S.-Dr. B. NJ.
Palmer died this afternoon at 1880
O'Clock, never having recovered from
the complete state of coma into which

The venerable divine was run down
early on the afternoon of Monday, May
5, by a Carrolton avenue street car
and dragged for fully block. His
right great toe was cut off and in
juries were inflicted on the forehead
and his right leg was broken in two
places just above the ankle.
DR.. Palmer was born in Charleston,
S. c., Jan. 25. 1918. He was a son of
DR.. Edward Palmer. DR.. Palmer pass
ed his boyhood at McPhersonville and
vas sent to Amherst College when only
10 years of age. There he met Henry
Ward Beecher, a student in a higher
lass, and the two became fast friends
At the age of Is he returned to South
carolina and taught for two years,
hen matriculated at the University of
Georgia, from which college he grad
uated in 1898, and entered the theolog-
ical seminary at Columbia. Shortly
after his ordination he was called to
enc First Presbyterian Church of Sa-
vannah, and during the years of his
ministry served in Columbia, S. c.,

that, sixty years ago, he began his
ministerial work just after his grad
uation from the Presbyterian Semi
nary at Columbia. The First Presby-
terrain Church was his first charge
and he its first pastor. Because of his
long absence from Savannah there
are few who knew him then that are
here now but he made many friends
on subsequent visits, notably a few
years ago, when, in the Independent
Presbyterian Church he preached the
memorial sermon of the late Rev. DIR.
Arson.
The officers of the First Presbyterian
Church met last night, after hearing
of the death of DR.. Palmer, and au-
thorized Mr.. Chas. S. Wood, clerk of
the session, to send the following mes
sage to the bereaved family, which
was done ITO the family of Rev. DR..
B. M. Palmer, New Orleans, La. The
First Presbyterian Church at Savan-
nah, DR.. Palmers first charge, ex-
presses it's profound sorrow on infor-
nation of the death of it's pastor of
sixty years ago, and extends SYM
pathy to his bereaved family and
joins them in thanking Almighty God
for his long and eminently useful
life"

of Paul 'Bolger, the New York mil
lionaire, whose son Walter Bolger was
found enlisted as Walter Crane, aboard

sible for the strange ending of a
search around the world for the mis-

A few weeks, ago, Trey, who is
Yonkers man, went to his home on
furlough and learned of the search
for Bolger. He informed the missing
boys father that there was on the
Franklin a young man under the
name of Walter Crane who was ex-
tremely like his son. The father mail

Walter to the Navy Department. This
was forwarded to the Franklin by

Last week the members of the board

an effort to secure concessions from
either side that would be the means of
settling the strike. The operators re-
fused to arbitrate or concede a single
point, and President Mitchell was OBJ
liged to return to the headquarters of
his order with nothing to offer the
miners. They accordingly struck for
the advance of wages asked.
Last Monday when left New York,

the country will see a bitter contest.

the miners were never in better finan-

SUBSIDIARY SILVER COINAGE.
Democrats Combat the Republicans
Scheme to Give Death KneII to Sill


err Dollar.
Washington, May 2S.-The House
spent the day debating the bill to in
crease the subsidiary coinage by coin
ing the silver bullion in the treasury,
and to recon standard silver dollars as
the public necessities may require. The
limit of subsidiary coinage is now $780,
100000. The bill increases this to an
indefinite amount in the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury. The bill
aroused the opposition of the Demo-
Gratis, who said it was only a step in the
direction of the complete striking down
of the silver dollar. The bill debate
drifted into a general discussion of the
silver question. Very little interest
made the point that no quorum was
present.
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada finally Of
fcred an amendment to make subsid-
larry silver a legal tender, and this
amendment was pending when the
House adjourned.
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut, who hac
charge -of the bill, said there seemed

scope of the bill. 1t had nothing to do
with the question of the exchange,
ability or redemption of silver dollars
contained in the Fowler bill, he said.
1t covered only the subject of sub
sidiary coinage, he said, and was so in
nocent that the minority had not seen
fit to attack it in their report. 1t pro-
vided for the coinage of the silver bull
lion in the treasury and the recoin-
age of silver dollars into subsidiary
coin as public necessities might re-
quire.
"Currcncy TiDkerers."
Mr.. Bell of Colorado opened against
the bill. Every great panic from
which the country had suffered had
been precipitated by currency tinker
ers' like Mr.. Hill. The ultimate aim of
Mr.. Hill and his friends was to create
an all-poWerful bank trust Which
would control the issue of paper cur
rency. If their program was carried
out, all the cdrr-ncy would disappear
except gold and bank paper. The
pending bill was one of three and the
only one the Republicans dare pass in
the face of the congressional elections.
Mr. Lewis of Georgia and others al
so opposed the bill.
