DR., MELDEN DENOUNCES
SOUTHERN SENATORS
Says Tillman and Money Would
Reduce Negroes to a State
of Peonage.
VARDAMAN ALSO SCORED

NEW YORK, April SIN the New York
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the session being held under the
auspices of the Freedmens Aid and South
ern Education Society, the Rev. DR.. c.
NJ Melden, of Providence, r. l.. formerly
president of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga,
discussing the negro problem, said in part:
Unfortunately, there are many people
in the North who think that the business
of solving the negro problem ought to be
left to Southerners. Do you know what
that means? 1t means that If such work
was left to Southerners like Senators Till
man and Money and Governor Vardaman,
the colored man would be reduced TO vir-
tual peonage. They threaten a massacre
rather than allow the negro his rights under
the Constitution. Senator Money Is man
of the same stripe as Tilman, but not
such loud talker. But the men / have
mentioned represent loud-mouthed and
large class in the South.
ITO me il seems to be a national question.
1t is impossible for America to take high
place among the nations while millions and
millions of the colored people are sunk in
darkness and, like q fostering mass, are
breeding disease that is like moral malaria.
Because of this menace TO the country the
subject is a national one.

DEAD BODY OF OLD MAN
FOUND IN MOODY BLOCK
Thomas Howard, Seventy-Four
Years Old, Probably Succumbed
to Heart Trouble.
PREMONITION OF DEATH

The body of Thomas Howard, an old man..
was found lying in a small room In the
Moody Block. at New York street and In
diana avenue. last night. The discovery
was made by Charles E. Sorters. who went
there to see if the old man was sick. How
ard formerly lived with the family of the
late John T. Kelly, Ill Ogden street.
About one year ago he moved to the
Moody block. He had always been a SUI.
ferer from heart trouble and a few weeks
ago he told Mrs. Kelly that if he did not
appear for several days some one should
look for him. Not having seen him for
several days Mrs. Kelly asked Sorters to
investigate. Sorters knocked at the door of
the old mans room and not receiving an
answer climbed on top of an ice box and
saw him lying on the floor of the room. He
called Sergeant Milan and Patrolman Gum
solus. who broke in the door. The inmates
OF the block said they had not seen How
ard since Tuesday.
The City Dispensary ambulance, in
charge of DR.. Mackey was called and the
body was removed to the city morgue. 1t
is not believed that Howard had any rela-
tives living in the city. He had a brother
who is a physician somewhere in Ken
lucky, but the exact location is not known.
Another brother is a merchant in Louisville
and sister, Mrs. Emma Acrew, lives near
Mattoon, Ill. Howard a carpenter
and was seventy-four years old.
