RECEIVER SMITH
 HAS CONFERENCE
IS ONE OF MANY RECENTLY HELD ON VARIOUS LEGAL PHASES OF SHIPPING TRUST RECEIVER SHIP.

New York. July 1s.-A long conference between Receiver Smith and counsel was held at the offices of the United States Shipbuilding company today. The con- ference. the receiver said, was one of many which has been held lately in re- gard to the various legal phases of the receivershlp. He said that he had signed an order terminating the leases of the subsidiary shipbuilding plans. In the or ganization of the United States Shipbuild- ing company. he said. the properties of the subsidiary companies were ac- quired and then leased back to subsidiary companies for one year with a proviso by which they may be terminated on a five days notice. The properties were leased upon a rental to consist of the earnings of the plants
 Tn order to get control of the proper ties the receiver had terminated these leases. The order the receiver said, did not include the Bethlehem steel plant. ''The Bethlehem Steel company does not stand on a par with the other subsidiary companies?" was asked of the receiver.
 We do not know yet" he replied. Even the lawyers are in doubt of that"

Booker Washington Speaks to a
 Large Crowd in Atlanta
SEES 4 BRIGHTER FUTURE
Negro Leader Says He Appreciates the Tremendous Strain That Is Now Upon the Race and coun-
 sells Patience.

Atlanta, Ga, July 13-Booker T. Wash ington tonight addressed an immense au- dienoe in the Peoples Tabernacle, the occasion being the thirty-sixth anniversa- " of the First Congressional church. colored. A letter was read from Governor Terrell and an address on behalf of Mayor Howell was given by his private secretary.
 Professer Washington spoke in part as follows:
 Every decent white man and negro in the south is glad that the time will soon be at an end when a negro will be popu- lar with his people in proportion as he curses the white man; or when a white man can be promoted to positions of trust and honor in proportion as he has been successful in unfairly condemning the negro. Let us all rather learn a les son from one of the greatest of south erners, Wade Hampton of South Carolina, when on his dying bed he uttered the words: God bless all of my people. white and black
 "The time has come here in the south when l believe the very highest type of southern white men and women are going more and more to take hand in the ee- vation of the blacks at their doors. They are going to feel that it is assuredly their duty and privilege to lift up the negro in the south as to raise up the natives in Africa or China. In many sections this work Is already in progress and we hail 1t as the dawning of brighter day.
 Whites and blacks are to reside to- gether in this country permanently and we should lose no opportunity to culti- vate in every way the greatest harmony between the races. Whoever, north or south, black or white, stirs up strife needlessly, by word or deed, Is dangerous to both races and country. While mak- Ing our appeals for help and sympathy we should not forget that in the last analysis the most effective appeal will consist in laying our cases before the community and state in which we re- side; nor that usefulness in our own homes will constitute our most potent and lasting protection.
 T appreciate from the bottom of my heart the tremendous and trying strain that Is now upon us and how difficult it is for us to make progress under such circumstances; but believe that the momentous period through which we are now passing will draw to our support the good will the sympathy and helpful cooperation of larger numbers of white men in the south as well as in the north, if we only exercise the patience, self control and courage"

ADJUSTMENTS.
East Lake.

A large and fashionable audience wit messed the first performance of sardous three-act comedy, "A Scrap of Paper" at East Lake last night and every one went away well pleased. This is one of the best comedies seen in this city for some time. There are many amusing situations in the piece and the players brought out every one of them. This is by far the best production the Weston Darlington company has put on. The scenic effect was excellent.
 MT. Weston as Prosper Couramont was excellent and won hearty applause. Miss Darlington as Suzanne de Housewife was never seen to better advantage and won new laurels for herself. MT. Denithouse as the Baron was very good. The re- mainder of the company were all good in their respective parts "A Scrap of Paper" will be the bill at the aquatic theatre for the whole week.

A New York swIndIe.

From the New York Sun.
 A new variety of swindle has been discovered lately in the Eighth avenue pawnbroker district A shop has been selling and distributing tickets broad cast by means of an agent who drops them on the streets, begs and gives the tickets to his benefactors out of grati- tude, and sometimes sells them. The finder, purchaser, or recipient of the ticket, knowing that no article is ever pawned for it's real value. goes around to the shop to redeem the article for which the ticket calls.
 The broker demands that the interest amounting generally to half a dollar or more. be paid before he shows the article and then brings forth something which Is not worth even the face value of the ticket. The victim generally departs with his half dollars worth of experi- ence, but If he makes violent kick the broker admits that he has made a mistake.
 It Is said that the particular shop which hit. upon this scheme has derived an incomeof $4o,OoO or s50,coO from it in the last year.

EndeaVOrers End Sessions in OaI-
 las With Many Rallies
TENT ACCIDENT OEPLORED
But Congratulations Are Heard That khe Casualty List Was No Larger. Strong Address Delivered By
 Rev. E. E. ShlVers of N. Y.

Denver, July 1S.-The twenty-frst bien- nial International Christian Endeavor convention came to a close tonight with rallies in many of the places where meetings have been held during the past five days. The convention was one of the most successful ever held, both as re- gards attendance and as to the results obtained. The accident late this after noon in the large tent in which several people were hurt Is generally deplored, but congratulations are heard that the casualty list is no larger. The final meet Ing of the convention, which was to have been held in this tent, was abandoned, praise meetings being held in various parts of the city.
 At the Central Presbyterian church banners made by Christian Endeavorers in oriental countries were presented to state unions which were able to show as large as ten per cent increase in member ship during the last year. The first prize went to the Nevada union. Other state unions that received banners were Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Indiana, Georgia, West Vir- ginia and New Mexico. Rev. E. E. Chi vers of New York led the discussion on "Our Brother in Black at the session of The home mission study class during che afternoon. He drew from negro preachers and professors present the admission that not one colored preacher in the south was an educated man. The mission schools, be thought, were the best means by which the colored preachers and teachers could be properly trained
 The recent lynching of negroes was touched on, and MT. Chlvers got all the colored people present to agree with him that the outrages committed by the victim of mob violence were of the most fiendish sort, and called for the severest punish ment.
 But" said the speaker. there should not be one punishment for black man and another for a white one for similar crimes"

SPECULATION AROUSED.
Postal inspectors Return Suddenly to
 New York Postoffioe.

New York, July 18.--There was much speculation in the postofice today over the sudden return of half dozen pos tai inspectors. Inspectors Little and Oldfeld came late Saturday evening from Washington.
 Inspector Mayer of Chicago arrived today. Inspectors Sutton and Doyle, who also hail from western divisions, arrived some time on Sunday. It is said that some of the postal inspectors served a number of subpoenas today on officers of trust companies and banks requiring them to produce the books of their concerns before a "John Doe" investigation, scheduled to be held within few days in Wash ington. The nature of the inYestiga- tion and the names of those served are kept secret.
