Saratoga hotel. Washington admits
that he dined with Wanamaker's family,
but denies that he escorted Mrs. Bar
clay Warburton, Wanamaker's daugh-
ter, to the dining room.
The negro's statement follows:
"I have just seen for the FIRST time the
misleading and false reports in South
ern newspapers referring to my escort
ing female members of Mr.. Wanama-
ker's family into the dining room Of a
Saratoga hotel. / have not referred to
these reports before, because they have
just come to my notice.
al did not escort any female member
of Mr.. Wanamaker's family to or out of
the dining room. l did dine with Mr..
Wanamaker and members of his family
at hotel at his request, for the purpose
of talking on matter of business, but
at that time was a guest myself at a
colored hotel at Saratoga.
"During the last fifteen years have
been at the hotel where Mr.. Wanamaker
was on three different occasions when
was to speak at public meetings, as I
was this time, and no comment was
made of it.
"When in the South, conform, like
all colored people, to the customs OF the
South, but when in the North have
found it necessary during the last
twenty years, as stated fully in my
book, up From Slavery to come into
contact with white people in the further
ance of my work, in ways / do not in
the South.

whereupon The Herald tonight sent the
following to each of the five papers:
"Friday and Saturday we wired for
your opinion on this Booker Washing
ton affair. Lest your silence give the
impression that you are subsidized by
Wanamaker's advertising, we are espe-
cially anxious to hear from you, ard we
stand ready to pay cost.
"HERALD."
The following was also sent person.
ally to William r. Hearst: GAS one
who has appealed for Southern votes
for president, the silence of your papers
on the Booker Washington affair is
significant and creates comment, espe-
clally in view of the fact that you have
frequently proclaimed the pride of Vir-
ginia blood. Answer our kilograms OF
Friday and Saturday."

The Supreme Court Rules Against Dr..
J.. e. Brown.

OLYMPIA, April 1S.-In decision in
a suit brought by DR.. Edwin j. Brown
of Seattle, an advertising Dentist to
test the right of the state board OF
dental examiners to compel applicants
for an examination for license to sign
a pledge to abide by the code of ethics
followed by the orthodox profession,
the supreme court fails to pass upon
the question directly, handing down
the decision that DR.. Brown failed to
receive his license for the reason tnat
ne did not pass the examination pre-
scribed by the board. The decision Is
an affirmance of judgment of the lower
court, which found that the allegations
that the license to practice was refused
because the applicant would not sign
the code of ethics were not substan-
tiated by the evidence.

den himself, and does not seem to be

poets through the woods of British Co
lumbia and darkly intimates that he is
on the track of other suspects in diff
ferent parts of Washington.
All the clues which the authorities
have thus far found have upon investi-
cation proved valueless. There was
nothing of worth in the find of the
greasy coat in the bay, and the bloody
clothes found in the deserted house
have proved nothing to the satisfaction
of the officers.

declares that there may be some sig

1ieves the letter was written by some
hobo and that apparently it was
thrown where it was with the eXpecta-
ton that it would be found. He thinks
1T possible that if it was written by
one of the murderers it was for the
purpose of covering up his tracks and
