ON PERSONAL BONDS.
Court Declines to Fine a Man Charged
With Offense.

Because he resented an insulting remark
from a colored girl John E. Williams, about
forty years of age. was arrested last night
and was obliged to leave $40 collateral at
the station house for his appearance in the
Police Court today to answer to a charge
of disorderly conduct.
F. A. Waters, a colored policeman at
tached to the fourth precinct, was off duty
last night and attended a colored picnic in
Anacostia. About midnight he started for
home on an electric car with a party of
friends. When the car reached the corner
of Sth and treetS southwest Williams
who is employed IN the navy yard boarded
it. He took seat near Waters party.
whereupon a colored girl who was with
Waters and his friends attempted to change
her seat, and in doing 1t stepped on Will
lams, and he demonstrated with her.
The girl objected to his remarks and
spoke to Williams in what he thought was
an insulting manner. which he resented.
Policeman Waters ended the matter by
placing Williams under arrest. Waters ap-
peared in court this morning with several
of his friends and gave evidence against
Williams. whO they declared, acted in q
boisterouS manner. Williams denied that
he had in any way violated the law.
After hearing the evidence Judge Bundy
accepted Williams personal bonds, saying
that there was too much doubt in his mind
to warrant the imposition Of fine.

IN BEHALF OF HER RACE.
Colored Woman, School Teacher, Cri
icises Senator Tillman.

AT meeting In the Zion Baptist Church,
on F street near Sd street southeast last
evening, Miss NJ. L. Mcdonald referred in
an uncomplimentary way to Senator Till
man in bitter and sarcastic speech, which,
It. was announced. was to be in defense
OF the colored Americans against reprehen-
sible opprobrium, and false statements
made by Senator Tillman in addresses and
Speeches" Miss Mcdonald is a colored
teacher in a Virginia seminary.
Senator Tillmans argument in favor of
repeating the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution, granting
suffrage to the colored people, was reviewed
by the speaker. She began by quoting pas
sages from Senator Tillman's speech made
in the Senate February 20 and "a last,
which she characterized a denuncia ton OF
TIE negro race. She branded as an ubso-
lutte falsehood the statement made by the
senator that the Chinese are superior to
the negro, holding that no heather could
be above negro.
Miss Mcdonald said that while this co,n-
try was the greatest country in the world
In commerce and humanitarianiSm. 1t was
also the greatest in lynching; that this
latter custom was resurrection of the
worst barbarism of all nations. Speaking
of Senator Tillman, the principal object Of
her criticism. she said:
I'VE have In the United States Senate a
man who wishes to repeal the fourteenth
anu HIteentH amendments TO the COnSti-
tuition. His speeches on this point mark
him as n apostle OF riot and as even more
of an anarchist than Emma Goldman
There is no tough who has participated In
negro lynchings but what feels himself en-
couraged by these words Of Senator Till
man. His speeches are imbued with a
spirit Of anarchy and they encourage riot
While Senator Tillman is under oath to
defend the Constitution OF the United
States, he advocates mob rule"
Continuing, She said: III any man should
give up the south 1t Is the white man.
The south is the negro's land. He did not
steal 1t from the Indian and drive the lat
ter across the prairie to death. but he was
torn from his native homo in Africa and
brought here to slave and toll for the
white man. 1t was the negro's sweat and
suffering that redeemed the land and built
1t up. The negro toll bought the land
and the regro should have It,
Just as sure as God stood by the north
and placed 100000 negroes In the war to
fight for free dom. so will He stand by the
negro In the future. The negroes have
no nation is Ierfect."
At the close Of her speech Miss McDon-
aid urged the colored people to train their
children to be law-abiding citizens; to love
truth and honesty and justice; to regard
both the law of man and of God In this
way, She said, the colored race would prove
itself above the reproach of Senator Till
man.
Mr.. ]. l.. Smiley sang a song at the con-
clusion of the grafton. He had composed
1t for the occasion and dedicated it to
Miss Mcdonald. the title being God Will
Put Old Ttllman Down. =

WOMAN'S SAD STORY,
Deserted by Husband, She Had Strug-
gle to Support Herself.

Judge Bundy. presiding over the District
branch Of the Police Court. was called on
yesterday to listen to pitiful story Of want
and suffering. told by a woman who has
never known what 1t is to have a parent s
love. and who had been deserted by her
husband and left alone with two small chill
dren to make her way in the world the
best she could.
The woman was Viola Gregory. twenty
three years OF age. who for some time has
been occupying quarters over Chinese
laundry at 321 7th street southwest She
was compelled to go out and work in order
that her children might have bread. and
the neighbOrs reported to Lieut.. Mat
thews of the fourth precinct police station
that the children, Violet, aged six years,
and Helen, two years younger, were too
small to be left alone. Yesterday during
the mothers absence Precinct Detective
Reinhard called at the house and took pos
session of the children, sending them to the
house Of detention.
On returning and finding her little ones
gone, Mrs. GregOr inquired from the neigh
bors of their whereabouts, and on being
informed of the detectives visit called at
the station house, where she was placed
under arrest on a charge of vagrancy.
Lieut. Matthews and Detective Reinhard.
who investigated the case, testified that
they learned that the woman was married
when she was seventeen years old to John
Gregory, jeweler, who is now supposed
to be in the insurance business at San
Francisco. Cal. he having left her about
four years ago.
Since her husband left her. the court was
told, Mrs. Gregory has been supporting her
self and children the best she could.
Your honor" the woman said, with tears
streaming down her cheeks. II am the
daughter Of DR.. Randall Parsons a dentist,
but 1 never remember having lived with
my parents. I was married, and about four
years ago my husband left me, since which
time I have struggled along the best I
could"
The woman's greatest concern seemed to
be about her children. who were In court
with her. She dreaded separation, and
said she was willing to do anything
which was right IL she could only keep
them with her. After consulting with
Agent Douglass and Miss Foster of the
board of children's guardians and an OIL
cial Of the Bruen Home Judge Bundy de-

The session of the Takoma public school

held during the first stages Of the work
The Commissioners will accept on the latter
basis If the school board will approve the

Will have to be some curtailment Of the

Shade trees should be trimmed and
attended to every spring as much as
the fruit trees or hedges. and in buy

should be given money value along

Massachusetts ana other eastern states

gan working ON the shade trees few

had to mourn the loss of their finest
elms and naples. The authorities OF
every town should have power in this
