Ensmlss 70 Two Races.

The members OF the Allen African
Methodist Episcopal church, the larg
est and most representative negro con
gregation in Cincinnati, have passed
Eesoiu tons unfolding President Roose
welt in his action with regard to the
Twenty-6fth negro infantry affair, anC
strongly denouncing the soldiers of the
latter whose cowardice In hiding behind
their comrades has provoked the entire
trouble.
The brave course of these Cincinnati
negroes stands out as the one sane spot
in the situation that Is charged with
mawkish and dangerous possibilities.
1t Is singing rebuke to the. few
white cranks in the northern and east
ern cities who, in placing the crown of
martyrdom on murderers and their pro.
tectors, are encouraging criminal prac-
tees and the coucealment of criminal
practices on the part Of race already
too much inclined in this direction.
It Is a dignified and whitening re-
proach to the criminals whose fear Of
punishment would allow them to drag
their comrades into disgrace, and to
the mistaken zeal OF the latter in COM
pounding crime.

Pays Fine and Set Frss.

More than rs years Of age, broken in
health and a sufferer from aeute inham-
atOry rheumatism, her funds exhausted
and she and her husband unable TO pay
the counsel fees still outstanding against
them, Mrs. Helen Wilmans-P Post, the
Seabreeze mental healer, has agreed "a
cease all use Of the mails Ia carrying on
her practice, haa paid the $500 fine
assessed against her, and the sentence
Of thirty days imprisonment has been
RENTED.
Though she afirms that she meant no
violation Of law in the use of the mails
and did not know she was guilty Of any
offense against the United States, the
woman, whose patients stretched from
Florida TO Maine, from New Jersey TO
California, practically admits that she
cannot cure herself Of the infamatory
rheumatism that has come upon her
since her last trial, before Judge Boar
man.
She and her husband have spent, they
allege, more than $25, 600 in counsel
fees, and affirm that there are still UNI
paid debts against them for services Of
attorneys. In her old age she finds her
self without means of providing for the
future and, wearied and worn out with
y
and her husband have thrown them
selves upon the mercy Of the court.
In closing her petition, asking that
the Jail sentence be RENTED. the other
cases nolle pressed, and the prosecution
dropped, Mrs. Post prayed that the fine
be reduced to $3.50, from the $500 inn
posed by Judge Boarman.
This request the court declined to
grant, though, on account of her ad-
vanced age, her affection, and her rap
idly breaking health, the government
was willing 20 have the jail sentence
RENTED, and to nolle PROSE- the other
indictments against her, her husband,
and her son-in-law, Charles F. Berg
man.
3 These conditions the defense agreed
20. Mrs. Post promised to cease using
The mails, In any way in carrying on
her practice, and 70 cease the eEort
to secure q new trial through the prose-
eutiOn Of q writ Of error. The $500 fine
assessed by Judge BOarman was paid,
and yesterday afternoon Assistant Dis
arict Attorney Richard p. Marks en-
tered nolle proSequi In each Of the
other indictments against Mrs. Post,
against Colonel G. G. Post, and against
Charles n. Bergman.
= Thus ended one Of the hardest fought
cases that has ever been before the
United States Courts in Florida, case
fbat attracted attention thfnoghOut the
entire United States, q case tat has been
pending n one form or another for six
long year,. Times Union.
