NATIONS PROBLEM
Is Matter of Dealing with Ne
gro, Says Bishop Walden.
GUARDIAN AND WARD
Address of a Northern Methodist Min
lister in Cincinnati-But Little Aid
Given San Francisco
Sufferers.

The negro problem and relief for
San Francisco furnished two sensa-
tons for the Methodist ministers Of
a section of Ohio at their weekly
meeting in Cincinnati Monday. AS a
result, President Roosevelt may be-
asked by the Cincinnati Methodist
Episcopal Ministers Association to
give his attention to an address on;
the race problem" delivered by Bish-
op John M. Walden, if the propo-
sition before the association is
adopted.
In the course of his address Bishop
Walden said:
"This country will not fulfill it's
objects until the nation comes to con-
slider it's relation with the negro as
that of a guardian to ward. This
problem is not a problem of the north
alone, nor of the south alone; it is a
problem Of the nation. This nation,
which is so rich and powerful, must
solve the race question itself. Dur
ing the days before the war the idea
that the negro was to have when
freed his forty acres of land from
the government was freely c1rculat-
J ed. But when the freedom came nos
forty acres came with it.
"There are three things that enter
into the negro question. The thought
of implanting in the colored man the
idea OF industry the idea of honesty
the idea of home-making. The colored
| man has been charged with laz1ness-i

cre,+ Demand for Immigrants.

Great Demand tor immigrants
The demand for the Immigrants
who are coming to Charleston on
the steamship Wittekind is much
greater than the supply. The demand
is especially great for servants. Not
a few of the cotton mills of the state
are asking for labor, but it is not
thought that there will be many OF
this kind of labor to supply. There
are applications for $50 men and wo-
men and the demand is still growing
while there are only 4s0 on board OF
the vessel.
In the future importation of imml-
grants, the Office of state immigration
will only bring over servants, agri-

rangements have all been made TOR

Washington, Jan. -1S.-The National
Board Of Trade is in annual session
here, and it is apparent, Judging from
the proceedings, that it has been cap
tured by the railroads. Men promi-
nently identified with the railroad cause
have been named to places on the COM
mittees, and one Of them, Washing
ton lawyer, who has been conspicuous
by reason of his work for the rail
roads in the present contest for rate
tariff, has been. put on the committee
to draft resolutions for the convention.
The National Board Of Trade con-
tinues to be an eastern concern. A
determined effort was made last fall
to secure delegates from Minneapolis,
st. Paul and numerous other western
and middle-western cities, but it failed.
There are no delegates from these cities
in the official list as published here.
The only western city represented is
Milwaukee, which is represented by one
man. There are no delegates between
Milwaukee and Cleveland, and the man
from that city is not Board of Trade
man at all, but a lawyer and promoter.
Similarly there is an attorney put on
the resolutions committee from this
city who has never belonged to board

ARMY OFFICERS
GRAFT EXPOSED
Mileage Charges Presented Which
Even Include the Junket
with Taft.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The house APP
preparations committee for week has
been busy preparing the urgency de.
fciency appropriation bill, which Will
come on the floor for final considera-
tion and passage about Friday. sH
There have been several hearings on
the bill in committee, and several OF
them developed the, existence of 9
small graft in the army, in the
seems, according to the testimony,
that the officers who accompanied Sec
rotary Taft to the Philippines last
summer turned in mileage claim for
the entire distance, going and coming,
notwithstanding they went one way
on a government transport. Other Of
fcers have been charging mileage
whenever there has been a possibility
for such charge to be made, and as a
result the appropriations committee
was requested by the war department.
to make deficiency allowance Of
100000 to cover unpaid mileage.
General Dodge, paymaster-general OF
the army was one of the witnesses
examined by the committee. He was
questioned by Chairman Tawney. He
admitted that there had been a con-
siderable increase in late years in the
mileage. accounts Of officers, but said
in reply to a question that he did not
know whether this increase had come
about in the legitimate discharge Of
public business, or whether it was due
in part to more or less junketing on the
part Of officers. 81 <, ,.r>-
General Dodge was asked as to, the
number of officers who accompanied
Secretary Taft to the orient, and he
gave the. list as he remembered 1T, a
list including only Ave or six, Major
Edie, a surgeon, and Colonel Crawford
at the head of it. :.... w.. 49,
The appropriations committee will
not allot the 100000 asked for by the
changed, it will allow but; half Of that
sum. 1t will further insert two limi-
tations in the mileage section, of the
bill. One of them will provide that
no mileage shall ever be paid for a
longer distance than the shortest route
between the post an officer is leaving
and the one to which he lis ordered.
This will prevent an officer from going
from Fort Smelling to Chicago, for ex-
ample, by way. Of St.. Louis, New
Orleans and Cincinnati, and MAX
extra ext travel. The other limitation
will provide that mileage shall only be
paid wher the travel is strictly within
the line Of official duty. That will
shut: off mileage claims for such junk
cts as that to the Philippines. :.
= Secretary Taft was in New York
when he heard that the officers who
went to the. Philippines with him had
turned in a mileage account. He at
once got hold of the long distance tele-
phone, called up the war department,
and directed that all those charges
should be forthwith withdrawn.
It is estimated by appropriations ex-
tperts that the mileage "graft' just
referred to has cost the government at
The rate of at least $4,000 for years.
The Limitations just referred to are

him, but he can see plainly anything at
the side of him. There have been but
few cases of it's kind before and they
have been caused by whisky or tobacco.
Leach has never used either, but has
been a great coffee drinker,. and the
specialists have decided that the case
has been caused by this. Leach. stated
himself that for several years he had
drank three cups of coffee for break
fast, two at noon and one at night.
According to the records of the special
lists Of this country this is the first case
ever caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord

man will have to give up coffee or the
rest of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined. Register Ga
