ROOSEVELT WILL
CONFER ON NEGRO
Dinner to be Given at White
House rIday Night
JUDGE JONES WILL ATTEND
Negro Problem and Race Question Will
Be Discussed-President VIII
Formulate a compre-
hensive Policy.
JUDGE JONES WILL ATTEND

Judge Thomas G. JONES' accor ling to a
day from Montgomery, goes to Washing
ton this week to attend a dinner given
by the President to representative men
in public life from all sections of the
country next Friday night
Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose in giving this
dinner is to consult his guests regarding
the social and political status of the negro
population in The United States and to
formulate a policy regarding the race
question that will be followed by his
administration throughout the next four
years.
1t is stated upon high authority that
the President has resolved to attack the
so-called race question and negro prob
lem energetically and to establish a poll
cy which will serve as precedent a num-
Der of years. He is convinced it is said,
that the rece question is one of the most
important, If not the most important. with
which the nation is now confronted. and
he is determined TO do what he can to
deal with 1t wisely
Among the guests at the dinner will be
not only politicians, but also educators,
publicists, sociologists, philanthropists
and men Of large wealth, from the north
and west as we'll as from the south.
Judge Jones has, it is said. been selected
to represent the sentiment of the far
south on the race question, and it is ex-
pected that he will tell the President
what the solid sense of this section of
the country believes is necessary for the
Improvement of the negro race.
Thus far it is not probable that the
less conservative sentiment of the south
ern states on the negro problem will be
represented at the conference. 1t is quite
certain that neither Senator Tillman nor
Governor yardamsn will have the seat
of honor at the dinner.
The result of the conference Is await
ed with interest not only at the north
but also It the south. 1t Is reported that
the gathering will be non-partisan II not
non-political, and an effort will be made
to adopt policy that will satisfy the
northern doctrinaires and at the same
time not displease the southern people.
The President has, it is said, made it
clear that, in his Judgment, the time is
ripe to make a systematic and scientific
effort to solve the problem, and to do
SO without melting the rrejudices or
passions of either section. # he can sue
coed in doing this his admirers believe
that he will win for himself a large place
in history.

LETTERS WRITTEN IN
DR.. HUGHES BEHALF
CITIZENS OF ALL CLASSES RE-
QUEST PRESIDENT To RETAIN
THE BIRMINGHAM PoSTMAs.
TER-DR. HUGHES CONDUCT.

Little of interest developed in the post
office case yesterday. 1t was generally adj
mitted that the subject had passed the
stage of investigation and discussion. and
ferred to the authorities at Washington
Before they finally determine what ac-
ton shall be taken in the case, it is un-
derstood that DR.. Hughes will be given
a hearing and that the President will
examine the subject from every possible
point of view before he writes his de-
cision.
Since 1t became known that the Post
master General had recommended that a
change be made in the Birmingham post
L-astership, friends of Dr. Hughes have
worked diligently in their effort to per-
suade the President not 20 accept the
Postmaster Generals recommendation.
Their activity has resulted in a formid-
able petition addressed to the executive
The petition for DIR. Hughes retention
in office, or protest against his proposed
removal is in the form of separate let
ttio Wiittth ny ihdiNiUhdto anu dudi tSsto
directly to the President. A brief of the
letters has been made which, accompanied
by the letters themselves. will be pre-
scented to the President.
Among the signatures on the letters
are the names of many of Birmingham
most prominent citizens. There is scarcely
clergyman in the city who has not
written strongly in DR.. Hughes behalf
Nearly all the city officials and every
member of the municipal and county ju-
dietary has expressed his wish that Dr.
Hughes be retained in office. The presi-
dent, vice-president or cashier of every
bank has written letter to the Presi-
dent requesting DR.. Hughes retention.
The industrial and business activities of
the city are represented in the petition
by the local heads of many Of the rail-
ways. express and telegraph offices, the
coal, iron and steel companies and the
wholesale and retail houses. Physicians,
surgeons, dentists, civil engineers and
lawyers in large number have signed
the petition.
A large patron of the postoffice took
occasion yesterday to praise the manner
in which Dr. Hughes had conducted HIM
self since the postoffice case opened. He
said that DIR. Hughes had got into trouble
solely through his desire to accommodate
his friends, and that while many another
man might have sought security in an at
tempt to divide the responsibility for the
affair, DR.. Hughes had manfully shoul-
dered it all and had not spoken a word
that would involve any one else.

DEPUTY SHOOTS NEGRO.
Richard johnson Killed BY J. N. Curl
at Oxmoor.

]. N. Curl. deputy sheriff Of Jeffer-
son county, at o'clock yesterday after
noon shot and killed at Oxmoor Richard
Johnson, a negro who had no occupa-
ton.
Curl says that he acted in self defense.
He stated last night that he had a war
rant for Johnsons arrest and was search
ing for the negro. He came upon him
in a house. johnson eluded him and be-
gan to run. Curl ordered him to halt but
the negro failed to heed the command.
The officer was gaining on him and sud
denly the negro turned and attempted to
take the deputy's pistol from him. Curl
then fired, the bullet hitting the negro
behind the ear.
Johnson after being shot broke away
and began to throw stones and brick
bats at the deputy. one Of which grazed
him.
Curl emptied his revolver and reloaded,
firing two fresh bullet. In all eight shots
were fired and several of them took effect.
The coroner will investigate Johnson's
death today.

A Symphony In Gray.

In the 1905 calendar of N. w. Aver &
Son, the Philadelphia advertising agents,
is worked out a color scheme in grays
and white so harmonious as to merit
the above title.
On the background of gun metal gray
cover paper is developed in lighter tones
their well known medal trademark and
motto, keeping INCREASINGLY at 1t
Brings Success" the latter being the pre-
dominating feature of the design.
The calendar is a large one, fourteen
by twenty-eight inches, and designed for
office or library. The figures are large
and, being printed in white, stand out
clearly across large room.
Whether the popularity Of Aver & Son s
calendars IS due to the uniformly taste
full design, to their. utility, or to the cpl
grams on advertising and business-build-
ing which fills the blanks left on the
flaps, 1t is hard to say. but they have en-
joyed steady sale for years at twenty
five cents each; for this sum, which
barely covers cost and postage, the 1906
edition may be had as long as 1t lasts.
