A conversation began, In which Kehoe
tauated the negroes with Tillman's views.
Both negroes then drew revolvers, ac-

Following the first bloodshed incident.

Unless the eolored people ignore the
words of the ministers" said Rev. A. J.
Carey, there will be no demonstration
when Senator Tillman lectures. We have
sent out men throughout the sections of
the city where the coIored people are
most numerous, TO insist that il will be
the worst thing for the race If the negroes
cause any unseemly outbreak. 1t is the
time for the people Of our color to show
self-restraint by remaining at home"

WEST REPLIES TO CRITICISM
Says at Least One Charge of Extrav
aganee Is Old.
Commissioner Points Out that Incl
May Occurred Ten Years Ago.

A personal investigation has been made
by Commissioner West regarding state
ments made at the directors meeting Of
the Jobbers and Shippers Association re-
lating 10 the purchase OF District sup
plies. The Commissioner said he was glad
10 find that one incident was ten years
cid. This case was reported by F. p. May,
chairman OF the committee on manufac-
lures, who said that when he had Dis
trict contract a gang was delayed for sew
er8l hOurs-because picks were furnished
by one firm and handles by another.
The record shows" said Commissioned
West" that in 1896 AIr. May had the con-
tract for picks and c. T. Carter. OF this
city, the contract for pick handles. This
was the last time Mr. May furnished the
articles to the District. UndeE<the pres
ent system tools needed are kept by street
gangs in the property yards. and can be
obtained within thirty minutes after prop
er requisition is made therefor.
Regarding the award Of a contract for
certain plumbing fixtures to a firm out
side the city, the record shows that it
was the lowest bidder and responsible.
Inasmuch as its bid was formal and could
not be rejected. the contract was award
ed on the recommendation OF the superin-
tendent Of the water department"
In fairness to Mr.. May, II should be
stated that he cited the instance at the
Jobbers and Shippers meeting, to Illus
trate the practice Of dividing awards for
material among two or more bidders. and
the delays incident thereto. He did not
condemn it as a bad practice SO much as
one by which the District government
lost money through delay in the delivery

PHI DELTA'S NOTES.

1t was learned yesterday by President
J. R. Mitchell that William Allen White.
of Kansas. the newspaper man and mag
azine writer, and a fraternity member,
would be unable to attend the banquet
! Thursday evening. It was expected that
Mr. White would address the assembly.
A friend Of White was telling Il story
/ on him yesterday while waiting for the
! convention 10 be called to order. 1t seems
that some years ago before he wrote
/ What's the Matter with Kansas" and
| leaped into fame, he was a reporter on
/ a Kansas City newspaper. During
! threatened strike among all the empoyes
/ on the street railway, Mr.. White was sent
out to get the story. The strikers meet
/ ing was held behind locked doors. Brib-
/ ing the janitoT and figuring on beating
/ the other reporters by getting an ex-
/ elusive story he climbed into the attic
Of the building on a hot evening and lis
/ tened though a crack TO the interesting
proceedings.
/ The meeting was an important one as
| the men had decided to order strike
/ that would tie up all the roads in the
/ city. Mr. White was busy taking notes
/ and planning what a great story he would
! have. Suddenly the chairman called the
attention of the assembly and made a
/ motion that the action of the meeting be
made public. Mr.. Whites work had been
/ in vain.
Another good story is told on the late
/ Col. Frank Swope, prominent lawyer
of Louisville. Ky. and an active member
1 of the Phi Delta Theta. Some years ago
the colonel while attending one Of the
conventions Of the fraternity accidentally
/ lost his valise. He raised a great disturb
arce, and soon had the majority of several
/ hundred Of the frat" members assisting
| him in his search for the grip. After a
! long and tedious hunt the grip was found
and. according to the story. II contained
one soiled shirt, one worn collar, and six
quarts Of old bourbon.
| Guests at the New Willard Hotel yes
terday morning were reminded of scenes
in The Stolen Story" a newspaper play,
where the interior OF an editorial room
I Is produced on the stage.
The newspaper office was Dick LittIe's
room i cOntrivance was mixed up 10
/ initiate the sound of typewrlters, and
while the play was on there were contin-
ual yelIs OF copy" Use a column of
/ this story" Boy, oh, boy and other
sounds familiar TO the profesh.
/ Then the jokers called up J. r. Mitchell,
/ president of the Phi Delta Thetas, and
/ informed him that a representative of the
press was talking The joker said there
/ had been rumors Of a mix-up in the fra
ternity. and that the president OF the as
sociadon had been summoned TO straight
en- out the affairs.
/ Mr. Mitchell of course, explained that
the society's affairs were al right, but he
was at loss TO know how such a report
had ever reached newspaper office He
was more convinced than ever that a
! press representative was talking, as he
could hear the tick of the machines and
the talk used nowhere else in the world
| Then there were promises that the story
would not be used. as Il seemed that It
wasn't true. Mr.. Mitchell did not learn
CT the joke until last night.
