MORTIMER HARKINS GOES II
BOTTOM OF ELEVATOR SHAFT.
Under Treatment at the Emergency
Hospital, With Good Chance
Of Recovery.

Mortimore Harkins fell from the top floor
of the Home Savings Bank building to the
cellar this morning, the space covering
nearly six stories, and was able to tell Of
the accident when he reached the Elmer
gency Hospital. The bank building Is at
Massachusetts avenue and 7th street north
west, and is nearing completion. Mr.. Har-
penter work on the building, and this MORN
ing was doing some work about the eleva-
tor shaft when the accident happened. Just
what caused the man to fall nobody at the
building could tell. Even the injured man
does not know. 1t Is believed that the ele-
vator struck him just after 1t started down
and toppled him over. He fell the entire
the accident expected to find him dead, but
when they reached the place where Harkins
had landed they found he was not only
alive, but was able to talk, and had not
lost consciousness.
Mr.. iarkins was removed from the pit
and taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where the surgeons report him to be in a
critical condition. He was bruised from his
head to his feet, and several Of his ribs had
been fractured. One of the fractured ribs
had punctured his lungs, and he had also
the shock WELL and after his wounds had
been dressed the surgeons sent him to a
ward
While his condition is critical the hospital
physicians stated this afternoon that he
was apparently in immediate danger

NEGRO EDUCATION.
Ex-Representative White Addresses
the Second Baptist Church Lvcaum.


The Second Baptist Church Lyceum was
addressed yesterday afternoon by ex-Rep-
resentative George H. White, with 1--WE
Must Retrieve as his theme. Mr. White
argued that it was mistake for those who
represent different phases Of the problem
of the development of the colored people to
war against each other; that Tuskegee Is
just as necessary in the solution Of the
problem as is Howard University, and that
1t required all these agencies to uplift the
race
Speaking IN favor Of education for the
race Mr.. White said:
Il earnestly believe in the DEVELOPMENT
of the negro people along every line OF en-
deavor. l believe in the higher education
that will give to the race the leaders of
thought, who can blaze the way to what Is
best in civilization, and give US the teacher,
the minister, the lawyer, the doctor, the
journalist and the man Of affairs who can
go before us in the work of legislation and
Importance that the race develop the skilled
artisan. the architect. the contractor, the
carpenter, the brick and stone mason, the
blacksmith, the farmer, the caterer and the
nurse, to form that industrial army upon
which the foundation of national and racial
progress rests. l have no sympathy with
those who would pit higher education and
industrial education against each other.
We need both systems"
The discussion was participated in by
Messrs. r. 8. Smith, w. r. Laws, 7. w.
Allen. l.. G.. Moore w. H. Wilson, Jesse
Lawson and II. w. Thompson.

ENDORSES DISTRICT LOAN.
Anacostia Association Discusses
and Asks for Improveme nts

DISCUSSES
and Asks for Improvements.
The Anacostia Citizens Association Friday
night voiced Its hearty Endorsement of the
proposed advance from the federal treasury
of s1O.oC0.OOO to the District in the further
ance of extraordinary projects, one of
which, 1t was argued, should certainly be
the reclamation of the Anacostia flats
The association. through strong resolu-
lions presented by DR.. J.. A. Watson and
Mr.. James c. Leonard, declared that an
understanding in favor Of the flats i'm
provement plan should be had in the event
OF the passage Of the loan act Several
members Of the association spoke of the
fear OF the fats project being ignored in
case the bill became a law.
President A. GUIDE was chairman of the
meeting which was largely attended. At
the call for the report Of the library COM
mittee Mr.. James c. Leonard stated that
an Intellectual effort had been made to con-
Ter with the men who are conversant with
the branch libraries plan, but that letter
had been sent to Mr.. Crosby 8. Noyes ask
ing for Information on the subject
A communication from the District Com
missioners referring to several requests
made by the organiza ton for improvements
IN IN Anacostla was read. In connection with
the proposed construction of a trunk sewer
from Anacostta as far as the German Or
phan Asylum, the Commissioners stated
that the cost Of such work would be about
$12, $50. which expenditure does not seem to
be justifable at the present time as the
asylum can make connection at an expense
of 81 ,475. The placing of sewer in Morris
road eastward to Buena Vista Heights was
disapproved by the Commissioners for the
stated reason that the Buena Vista section
Is In a different watershed and should be
served by a lateral sewer from the proposed
trunk sewer in the valley Of Suckfoot
branch. -
In answer to the request for the paving
with asphalt Of Harrison street from Min
| nesota avenue to Fendall street the Com
missioners replied that the cost was estI-
mated at $4,000. which 1t was not deemed
advisable to recommend ahead Of other
large items already recommended. An item
OF 5000 for the improvement of streets and
roads in Anacostia and vicinity had, the
Commissioners informed the association, al
ready passed the House, and should It fin
| nally become law the Commissioners
would be glad to receive suggestions from
the citizens organization as to now 1t
should be spent.
The proposed loan bill was then discussed
In connection with its relation to the Ana
costa fats, with the result above stated.
A resolution was passed calling for the pur-
chase by the District Of the Latimer field
