READY FOR CARNEGIE
Michael FOLEY Gets in Line for
Hero Fund.

What is Andrew Carnegie's concep-
ton Of a "hero?" On what basis is
Mr.. Carnegie going to distribute his
hero fund" of $5,000,000? VIII a GER
titled hero get lump sum or an an
nual allowance? And will the extent
of his heroism be calculated by his own
injuries in saving other persons or by
the value of those persons lives?
Michael foley, who lives ION Robert
street." wants to know chow about it,
AS Mr.. foley telephoned yesterday, the
public might be inclined to class him
with Mr.. Carnegie's heroes; Mr.. FOLEY
himself wasn't certain. At any rate,
he had saved a few lives yesterday
afternoon. He might be styled the
first local representative of Mr. Car
negie's new order.
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. foley says he was riding his BIZ
cycle down Robert street. He was
descending the steep hill opposite the
Visitation convent at University ave-
nue.. Before him, half a block down
the stone-paved hill, three children
were playing. AS he approached he
rang his bell; the children tarried.
Then he yelled Hi there!" but the
children paid no heed. He rang and
he was about to strike the first infant
and knock down a row of three by car
Oming one against the other, Mr.. To-
ley applied his safety brake. He
stopped his bicycle but not himself
His next observation, as he lay on
his back near the curbstone, was the
soiled face of small boy, who leaned
over and inquired anxiOusly, Say. mis-
ter, kin 1 ride your bike? 1 kotched 1t
down the hill"
But with the aid of the little girls
IN the party, who pointed out the
buggy spots" Mr.. foley soon learned
that his lower lip was cut, that his
forehead was cut over the left eye, that
his left cheek was seriously bruised
He realized, without help, that he was
very much shaken up" He thinks that
If he had struck upon his head he
would probably have been killed.
Thus while nearly losing his own life
that of an adult wage earner-he
saved the lives of one boy aged seven
and two girls, aged six and four re-
spectively, all healthy children, appar-
emily, with a reasonable expectation OF
life.
Although Mr.. FOLEY bows with def
erence to the superior judgment of the
hero fund managers, he ventures the
suggestion that, from a Carnegian and
commercial viewpoint, the economic
profit of life-saving can only be esti-
mated by the number and probable du-
ration of the lives saved.
"Of course" he said, nothing NAV
come out of it; but / saved three OF
'em all the same, three healthy kids"

Russia would have declared war
within a short time, had not Japan
spoken first-this and other opinions
of foreign military men upon some as
poets of the war in Manchuria were
given yesterday by Capt. A. w. Bjorn-
stad, of the Twenty eighth infantry,
L. 5. A, at his home, 35 East Aurora
avenue. Capt. Bjornstad. who is on
leave of absence, reached st. Paul yes
terday morning.
The captain, who was formerly CASH
Ter in the city treasurer's office, Sc
cured captaincy in the Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteers, and was then
transferred to the Forty second United
States volunteers. Soon afterwards he
was made first lieutenant of the Twen-
ty-ninth infantry in the regular es-
Enlistment He was promoted to be
captain a year ago, and was assigned
TO his present regiment the Twenty
eighth. He has made three journeys
to the Philippines since 1898 and has
served in the islands about five years
After a two-week visit here he will
rejoin his regiment at the Preside,
San Francisco, where he will probably
be stationed for several years to come.

was in the Southern Philippines. He
was assisting Gen. Leonard Wood to
show the Moros the error of their

night. L came back by way of the

ID,.; i
HOngkOng 1 got word from a friend
up near Port Arthur that commercial
business over the Siberian railway was
practically suspended, and that the
whole line was being given up to the
transportation of troops and military
supplies. Besides, it was limited that
the Russians wouldn't welcome a for
eign military officer in Manchuria; he
might make too many observations.
Il spoke of this to some German Of
ficers that met later. They were as
tOnished to learn that. more than two
months before Japan attacked the Rus
sian fleet, Russia was making active
preparations for war. Russia has in
sisted officially, you know, that her in
tentions were altogether pacific. But

Nevertheless, the Germans sympa-
thized with Russia, like most every
body else [ met on the continent. They
wanted Russia to win but they argued
that she would find it very difficult,
if not impossible, to supply an army of
100000 men, and that without a big
army she could scarcely hope to avoid
defeat.
so long as Japan controls the sea
the nearest base of supplies for the
Russian army will be at Moscow, 5000
miles distant; and the only means of
communication is a single line of rail-
way. Whether such a problem can

CeSSful Concert.

The Concordia Singing society gave
a concert and operetta last night be-

The programme included variety of
selections.
The full chorus, under the direction
of Prof. l.. w. Harmsen, sang music
by Kelbe, Abt, Billeter and Kistler.
Rodenkirchen's orchestra played Sc

be solved, the Germans said, is doubt
full. Up to the present time the most
distant base in modern warfare has
been that of the British in South At
RIGA. This base, also connected by a
railway, was only 400 miles distant,
yet supplies were forwarded with the
greatest difficulty.
Nov, the Russians have about
5000 small freight cars with an aver
age capacity of, say, 5000 pounds
each; it takes fifty-five days for a
freight train to make the round trip
between Moscow and Hardin; that is,
something over 100 cars can arrive in
one day to bring half million men all
their food, clothing, arms, ammunition,
forage for their animals, miscellaneous
supplies, etc. The resources Of Man
churia are about nothing. And the
Germans didn't believe that these IA
cilities would prove by any means
sufficient, considering delays and ac-
cidents. But the JapS can get unlimit-
ed supplies by sea within three or four
days from their base of supplies.
Another thing that my German &C
quaintances marveled at was the re-
fusal of both Russia and Japan to
permit military attaches to go prompt
ly to the front. That hasn't happened
for many years. In all other recent
wars during the last half century for
eign attaches accompanied both ar
mics wherever they went. If the Japs
and Russians expected to give no
! quarter, the Germans said, we might
understand this; but as they intend to
observe the rules of civilized warfare,
it's very mysterious"
The Philippines are tranquil" says
Capt. BjOrnstad, because the F'ilipinos
are tranquil. There are 1000, 900 of
them. They occupy LuZon and the
Northern islands. They are Christians
and they want to become Americans.
But the MOros, or MoOrs, as the
Spanish called them, are likely to be
the source of any future trouble the
United States may have in the archi-
pelago. These MOros, living in Jolo,
or Sulu, and other southern islands,
though apparently of the same race
as the Filipinos, are Mohammedan and
half civilized. They hate Christianity
and America. Every little while one
of them goes juramentado, that is,
passes through sort of religious GER
| emory and rushes off to kill a Chris
tan by way of joining Mohammed and

Parents are to apt TO think that by

as far as religious and moral education
is concerned is ended. If the little

there would be fewer complaints about

CRIME AMONG NEGROES.

There is no doubt but that the
extent and development of crime
among Negroes is of pressing in
tereSt to the country. Some un-
fortunate occurrences in recent
years have focused public atten-
tiOn on the matter, and extreme
utterances like those of Varda-
man have aroused advocates on
many sides. 1t is manifest, how
ever, that as to the real facts
about crime among Negroes, its
extent, cause and cure, we have
little real reliable data. The num-
ber of prisoners as returned by
the census is n crude and uncer-
tain method of measurement and
gives but little real insight. 1t is
of interest to know that Atlanta
University, which has already,
through it's conferences, done so
much to give scientific accuracy to
facts relating to the condition of
Negroes, is going to undertake the
study of crime this year. The
study will be confined to the State
of Georgia, but there will be an
attempt made to make a careful
study of law-breaking among Ne
grOes, its causes, and suggestions
for its cure. Investigations are
now in progress and a conference
on the subject will meet May "a,
at Atlanta University This will
be the ninth of the Atlanta con-
ferences. The conference of last
year studied Negro religion and
its report has been recently issued.
It is a volume of 200 pages and
full of information.

THE CRUM CASE IN EQUITY.

VIII the Senate adjourn with
out confirming the nomination of
DR.. Crum? While the matter ap-
pears to be of small Importance
to the potent, grave, and reverend
seignOrs" at the Capitol, it is of
deepest interest to the cOlored
people irrespective of location.
That a reputablv intelligent,
thoroughly qualified official after
holding a position for eighteen
months without salary should be
denied the necessary confirmation
by Republican Senate to enable
him to enjoy the emOluments of
his office indicates not only a dis
regard for the wishes of the Pres
ident, but a prejudice against
color on the part of certain Sena-
tors who owe their exalted posi-
tiOns to the votes of their cOlOred
constituents. Are these gentlemen
afraid of insulting Mr.. Tillman
and his Democratic associates?
What has the Republican party
to hope for from a section that
plays the election game with load
ed dice,
The electoral vote of the South
ern States is already counted for
the nominee of the Democratic
party. 1t is to the north the Re
publicans must look for success.
This is presidential year. The
colOred vote is an important fac
tor where cast and counted. 1t
will probably determine the cleo
ton.
Congress has failed to take any
action regarding the notification
of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments by Southern States.
The rights of the Negro are being
curtailed in every direction. His
are active; his former
friends passive. The situation is
a source of serious thought and
deep concern to him. This old
time spirit of loyalty and devotion
to the Republican party is waning.
He is lapsing into a condition of
Indifference politically.
The failure to do an act of
simple justice in the Crum case
will intensity this feeling. Will
a Republican Senate assume the
responsibility, or will it not only
as a matter of policy, but because
it is right, confirm DR.. Crum,
thereby giving evidence of cour-
age and conviction by following
the wise and proper path.
