Steadily they looked into each others

NEGRO WRITERS

Archbishop's Stand in Behalf

cation of members of the negro press
of the country and of the negro Pen
and Pencil club called on Archbishop
Ireland today and expressed to him
their gratitude and appreciation of his
stand in behalf of the negro. Remarks
expressive of the gratitude of the race
We're made by Henry p. Slaughter,
president of the Pen and Pencil club;
l.. NJ. Hersha, Hon. John p. Green and
Judson w. Lyons register of the treas>
ury. Archbishop Ireland In respond
ing, said that TO him the Stars and
Stripes had no meaning whatsoever
unless they meant the brotherhood of
man. The idea Of a distinction being
made in civil or political matters by
race or language or color, he declared,
is unAmerican. A man, he said, is a
man, and that is all that the Ameri-
can constitution requires and all that
it should require, if it IS truly a con-
stitution expressive of liberty. He
urged his callers to have patience. and
said that with it the march of civili-
Zation and Of Christianity would result
in full recognition Of their civil and
political rights. He expressed the opin-
Ion that there was not in the history
of the world an example of similar
progress made by any people of any
color, and of any race, equal to that
made by the colored people in the forty
years since President Lincoln declared
them free and independent He pre-
dicted What had been ACCOMPLISHED in
the last forty years would be quad
rupled in the next forty years.

DENTIST O'BRIAN DENIES
STORY OF EXPULSION
Man Who Figured in Princess Louise
Scandal Returns to America.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Dr. Lewis
A. O'Brian, Mrs. O'Brian, his wife, and
their young son were passengers on
the steamer Pretoria, which docked to-
day. DR.. O,Brian is the American
dentist whose name has been connect
ed by European correspondents with
that of Princess Louise of Saxony. To-
day he emphatically denied that he
had been officially expelled from Sax
ony. He said he had heard such a
report when he got to Plymouth, and
averred that the truth of the matter
was that, learning from his partner
that the Saxon officials had been talk
ing of some such action, he would not
wait to give them a chance
The dentist said Princess Louise
was simply a patient of his and a
friend of his family. When her visits
to his family became the subject of
gossip, he had the visits stopped. He
never had taught her to ride a bicycle,
nor did the two bicycle together. Mrs.
O'Brian corroborated all the dentist
said.
DR.. O'Brian bears with him a letter
from Charles L. Cole, United States
consul general at Dresden, giving him
a very high character.
The letter from Consul Cole is ad-
dressed ito whom it may concern"
and contains the following statement: :
DIR. O'Brian has been the victim
and sufferer from calumny and the
arbitrary ruling of kingdom, and. |
believe, will gain the sympathy of all
those Americans who hear of his recent
experience"

SCHWAB IS AFTER
ANOTHER PLANT
Steel Trust Would Buy Hold
ings of Pittsburg Com
pany.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 22-The
chief cause of the visit of Charles NJ.
Schwab, president of the United
States Steel corporation, to PittSburg
is in furtherance of the negotiations
for the acquisition of the mills, fur
naces and coal and ore lands of the
Jones & Laughlin Steel company. 1t
is reported that Mr.. Schwab will make
personal inspection of the local
plants Of the company, but whether
he does or not look over the mills
and furnaces himself, he will secure
from inspections by experts an eX-
cellent idea of the value of the ma
chinery and all other things that ought
to be known before a purchase is made.
Tentative proposals to buy out the
Jones q Laughlin interests were made
before the Union Steel company was
acquired by the corporation, but the
Jones & Laughlin company was averse
to disposing of its big plants. Later it
became known that the big independ-
ent manufacturing firm might sell if
1t got its price, said to be approXi-
mately $80,000,000.
The hitch in the negotiations is not
so much over a question of the value
of the Jones & Laughlin interests, but
rather over the method of payment in
case the corporation bought out the
company. The corporation desired to

until Tuesday.

The eruption of La Soufriere, which

Discussed at WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22.-
President Castro's resignation came in
for good deal of discussion today in
governmental and diplomatic circles
The general sentiment of persons con-
versant with South American affairs
seemed to be that the presidents ac-
ton was merely a political move, hav-
ing for It's object the declaration of an
expression from congress of it's united
and hearty support. 1t was not thought
that he had any serious idea of Civ
ing up his office permanently. Some
manifestation of confidence, it was
suggested, was necessary, in view of
conditions existing in Venezuela, aris-
ing, 1t might be, out of the extraordi-
nary import duties levied by Castro
about month ago, and the effect on
the country of the revolution through
which the country has been passing
No news reached the state depart
ment during the day regarding the lat
er developments in the situation in
Caracas. The department has request
ed Mr.. Russell, the secretary of the
legation at the Venezuelan capital, for
information on the subject Mr. Bowen
the Venezuelan plenipotentiary was
also without any advices concerning
the presidents resignation.
