THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 80, 1908.

RESOLUTIONS adopted by the confer
once of the African Methodist Episcopal
church in session last week in Madison,
Ca commend the white people OF the
South for refusing negroes social
eouality. and declare the South the best
Mace for the negro. The resolutions
are in part as follows
We commend the southern white man
because he refuses to let negroes uIlhA
at his founts, eat in his cafes ana steep
in his hotels, for the following reasons :;
1t forces the negro to build his own
resorts, teaches him business and turns
a food of money to negro vaults and
hank accounts. 1t gives his boy and
Girl work, and establishes THRIFT, ln-
dustry and economy.
We find that wholesale butchery OF
negroes has gained stronghold IN the
North. where it is being melted and
urged bv some who claim heirshlP TO

people. eli oooIl;nc
facts that the negro is as safe IN the
south as in the North, or safer-saier
because he can earn living IN amy
avocation in the South that he possessef
ability to do
There is ring of manliness abou
these resolutions. There is no whining
in them; there is no bitterness or YIN
dictiyeness; there is just self-respec
which is commendable and all senslbl
negroes know that the resolutions sc
forth the truth in the case.

MCKINLEY SAW END OF HIGH TARIFF.
Governor F. o. Schuster at meeting
of the Union Bank, of London, limited,
yesterday made reference to the British
fiscal controversy, which met with the
approval of large gathering Of city
men. While he welcomed an inquiry in
to the fiscal policy of the government,
the whole tenor of Mr.. Schuster's re-
marks was opposed to tampering with
free trade He expressed the belief that
the United States was within "measur-
able distance of adopting free trade"
and in support of this said he had a
private interview with the late President
Mckinley two years ago, in which the
latter said: "My tariff bill has done its
work. We have been able to build up
many great industries in short time,
and now, gradually, but inevitably, our
tariff must be reduced" Mr.. Schuster
contended that Americas industrial
position under protection was "not en-
tirely attractive nor are its workingmen
cOntented."

Widow Trims suitor's whiskers.

Chicago, July 30.-Mrs. Anna Pin

Mrs. Pindras said in court. Opello de-
scribed his whiskers to Justice Callahan
as '1ong, dark and luxuriant." One

there. "She got some heavy Irvine,

business mems alliance last night met at
the town hall and resolved themselves
into vigilance committee to clear the
town of all members of the western fed
Grafton of miners, whom they accuse of
blowing up the Sun and Moon mine

county Jail and ordered the fourteen
miners held there under suspicion to
march out. They we're ordered to leave
town instantly and not to appear again
under penalty of more drastic treatment.

line and marched off. Some Ofthem plead
ed that they were without funds and a
subscription was taken up by the mob
and handed to the miners. There was
no evidence against the men, but the
committee decided that the explosion
could be traced to the agitation that had
been maintained since the strike last
fall. The men driven out include the
president, vice-president, and secretary
of the local union and two or three
members of the executive committee.

CHILDREN TAKEN FROM HER.-The
case of Mrs. Estep, the white woman
who walked to Washington with her
two children from Manassas, in company
with negro named Davis, came up for
final disposition in the Juvenile Court
in Washington yesterday. According
to the woman's story she is native of
North Carolina, and left that State two
years ago with her two littlegirls, tramp
ing along the road and earning a living
by washing and ironing and such other
work as she could obtain. Judge KIM
ball committed the children to the
Board of Children's Guardians for a
period of sixty days. The woman's
story will be further investigated. No
thing has been heard of Davis for sew
eral days, and it is thought that he is
now in Harrisburg, Pa, where the party
was bound. Miss Foster, of the Board
of Children's Guardians, offered as proof
that Mrs. Estep was not proper person
to have custody of the children, a letter
she had received from Town Magistrate
Davis, of Manassas, saying that Mrs.
Estep and Davis had been living there
together for several months. Davis was
working as a laborer on the railroad and
supported the woman and her children.
Upon being warned by the authorities
that they would get in trouble if they
continued living together, they left and
walked to Washington.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

The prosecution yesterday rested its
case against Sheriff Simon Solomon, OF
Henrico county, whom the Richmond
Passenger and Power Company seeks 10
have removed from Office for incom-
petence and neglect of duty. 1t is
possible that the case may be concluded
this evening. Justice james 7. Lewis,
witness for the defense, in his testimony
was strongly in favor of the accused
Sheriff. Mr.. Lewis said he lived be-
tween the city limits and the reservoir,
ON the street-car line. He visited the
reservoir daily, and each day he dis
cussed the situation with the Sheriff,
who asked him as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
calling out troops. He saw no necessity
for the troops, and so told Sheriff
Solomon. He was witness OF the riot
ing at Vine and Main streets, the re-
suit of which was the ordering Of
troops to the county. He was
positive there was no firing until the
guards on the cars began it. He saw no
stones thrown until the guards opened
fire. The only disorder was the firing
of a torpedo.
Cross-examnation failed to shake Mr..
Lewis's testimony. He said he would
have made arrests at any time had he
seen disorders, and had he been sheriff
he would not have called for troops until
every effort to preserve order with the
county officials had been exhausted.
Chris. Manning, police commissioner
of Richmond; William ]. Long, who
lives in the county where the disorders
occurred, and Commonwealth Attorney
Sands we're among the other witnesses.
The testimony was largely corroboraiiye
of that given by Mr.. Lewis. Mr.. Sends
said that the crowd at Main and Vine
streets came from the city. 1t was mad,
he said, and members of it laid hands on
him, mistaking him fora Street-car man.
When he established his identity they
turned him loose. He thought there
would have been no need for troops had
not the guards opened fire.
A report was made to Chief Howard
yesterday that conductor ofone of the
cars in Richmond was shot Tuesday night
at @ street. There was some rock throw
ing, but, in the main, the cars are run
without any interference at all.

RELEASED ON BAIL.-David Miller,
who was ordered by the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia to be sent
back to Virginia to answer the charge of
larceny, was released yesterday on bail OF
81, 900, pending the decision by the Court
of Appeals of a pointin the habeas corpus
proceedings which were instituted in
Miller's behalf Justice Pritchard sign
ed an order on Tuesday in accordance
with the requisition of the Governor of
Virginia, directing that Miller be sent
to Virginia. Then habeas corpus pro-
ceedings were instituted Immediately and
Miller was brought into court at once.
In behalf of the government Assistant
District Attorney Gordon made motion
to quash the writ, and after argument
this motion was sustained by the court.
Attorney Rosenberg at once gave notice
of an appeal and filed bond for Miller's
release. The proceedings were Of I'M
usual interest, because Sheriff Hamilton,
of Fauquier county, vas on his way to
Washington to receive the prisoner, and
if he had not been delayed by the rail-
road wreck at Springfield Tuesday he
would have arrived in Washington and
removed the prisoner before the habeas
corpus proceedings were instituted.

LONG SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
The legislature will be in session prac-
tically for four months next winter from
present indications. The present body
will reconyene on November 10th, and
will likely sit until about December 10th,
when it will adjourn sine die. On the
second Wednesday in January the new
legislature will come in, and will be in
session for sixty days. In some quar-
tiers an idea seems to be prevalent
that the present body will meet
in November, adopt the report Of the
revision committee and Immediately adj
journ. AS it appears at present, this is
far from true. II will require many
days to give proper consideration to the
report of the Revision Committee, but
beyond this, there is a great deal of
work to be done. No less than a dozen
important measures have been set as
special and continuing orders by both
houses and by committees for the first
few days of the session, and many other
bills remain unpassed upon the calen-
dars, The personnel of both bodies is
likely to be greatly changed by the fall
elections, and many new faces will be
seen about the Capitol when the new
body reconyenes. Up to this time no
opposition has devolyed to Speaker Ryan,
and his friends are confident that he will
be chosen to preside over the next
House.
