Few public men are better known at
the capital than Mr.. German, and it is
safe to say few are more respected. He
has thousands Of acquaintance here
now who are particularly interested in
the campaign because they believe that
Mr.. German is one of the actual if not
not the titular, head of the national
democratic committee. He is as imper-
turable as Mr.. Cortelyou, is diplomatic
and tactful and back of all this has life
times experience Of the ins and outs of
politics. He is expected to turn many

VI the OndesHaoie down to the most
brutal type of the
negro degenerate The colored popula-
ton of this city is to great extent
a barometer that reflects the sentiment
of the race throughout the country. The
aspiration of the better classes as typi-
fed in the Booker Washington move
ment is reflected in the upper crust OF
colored society in Washington. The
brutal instincts that lead to the horrible
crimes whose retribution usually comes
in the form of lynching are observable
through the lower strata of the negro
population here. Major Sylvester, chief
of police, declares that if the idle and
evil negro were eliminated from Wash
ington this city would be the most peace
full in the world.
Just now the colored people in this
city are very much worked up over the
Jim Crow Car" proposition. The adj
joining states of Virginia and Maryland
have laws in operation that compel the
segregation of the negroes and put them
into cars that are known by that more
or less euphonious term, Jim Grow
Cars" The Washington negro is as a
rule very assertive, and as there are no
federal laws regarding his place on street
cars and railroad cars he does not hes
itate to push himself, sometimes 6ffen-
siVely. among the whites, but as soon
as he gets out of the district he is I'M
tremendously chucked into car by
himself. This is very humiliating and
the colored people of the district have
held meetings with the purpose of FORM
ing some sort of an organization to con-
test the constitutionality of these Jim
Crow laws. So far the meetings have
resulted in nothing but talk.

TO INVESTIGATE MILK DIET
$40, 100000 Rockefeller Institute
Will Search for Cause of Nor
tally Among Babies.

Monkeys fed on bread and milk
rarely live more than three or four
years, though their natural lifetime IN
the wild state is from Is to 30 years at
least, Their bread and milk is diet is
held to be conducive to tuberculosis.
These facts are to be used as the basis
of exhaustive experimental work in
the $10,000,000 hospital that is being
built here by John D. Rockefeller as
memorial to his grandson, little John
Rockefeller Mccormick, son Of Harold
Mccormick, Of Chicago.
The child died of summer CON-
plant" and one province of the hos
pital, the construction of which has
just been begun, will be to investigate
in the hope of finding a specific for
this disease, which is the most COM
mon cause of infant mortality Spe-
cial attention will be paid to milk and
water supplies, as it is considered that
the prime source Of summer COM
plant" is in milk and water.
MIR. Rockefeller already has set aside
81 100000 for the Rockefeller institute
for medical research, which will be
the largest institution Of its kind in
the world, and it is understood he is
planning ultimately to devote eight
or ten times that amount to this grea,
enterprise. Now that work has actu,
ally begun on the first laboratory and
animal-house, some OF the details OF
the enterprise are made PUBLIC.
One of the most distinctive features
of this institution will be an elaborate
ly contrived building for large vari.
ETY. of animals to be used in the ex.
periments. Provision has been made
TO maintain a temperature in eacl
case to accord with the climate to
which the various species are accus.
toned. The building will have a roof
garden, with cages for such animals
as are accustomed to live in the open
air.

While the president takes deep in

that he is in any way directing it. That

the president has very little time to de-

to the routine business of his office, he
Is getting material together for his an
1ual message to congress.
This annual message is a formidable
undertaking. 1t is a compendium of
the governments record for the past

chiefs have been busy collecting the data
of their Offices for submission to the
heads Of their departments, and the cab

these bureau reports, studying them, and

president goes over all these department

of the progress that has been made, the
problems that have been solved, the diff
