Denver, Col, Aug. 5.-Celebration

Western Federation of Miners, who
was acquitted at Boise, Idaho, of the
charge of conspiring to murder former
Governor Steunenberg, was consider
ably curtailed Sunday by reason of
the lateness of the hour. at which he
arrived.
Plans Cor great gathering of peo-
pie at the Union station to be follow
ed by a monster open-air meeting were
abandoned Saturday when it became
known that Mr.. Haywood postponed
his departure from Salt Lake a day
on account of the condition of John H.
Murphy, general counsel to the fed
Grafton, who was reported dying. In
stead a committee of 100 labor union
lists, representing practically all the
labor organizations of the city, was
selected to welcome Haywood in the
name of the unions, and on Tuesday
a general meeting of the labor unions
will be held to formulate plans for
a meeting in the future, at which
Mr.. Haywood will be given a great re-
ception and at which he will be the
principal speaker. All this depends,
however, upon whether or not Hay
wood wants such a demonstration,
and he has not as yet definitely indi-
Gated his willingness to be so honored.

He is working diligently and with a

NEGRO BANKS.

Negroes have found out that the
only way to get financial standing
and rating in the commercial world
will be to open their own financial
oncerns, and throw themselves into
the money market, thereby getting an
insight on the advance and decline in
this almighty dollar question. 1t will
be noted with much satisfaction, and
possibly with a degree of pleasure,
that but few cities in the South are
without Negro bank. Some of them
have two well established banks, said
we'll informed gentleman to a Globe
representative When asked how
many banks there were owned and
operated by Negroes in the United
States, he said that he thought there
were thirty-five, but that his memory
was not very clear. It is known, how
ever, said he, that they are being or
gained almost every month. The
latest and possibly one of the strong.
est in the South is the Southern Bank
at Jackson, Miss, of which the Bank
ers' Register states has a paid up cap
ital of $4,000. They have only been
open since September, 1906. There is
qnother bank in Jackson known as the
American Bank & Trust Co.
Birmingham, Ala also enjoys the
distinction of having two banks. The
Peoples Banking Company of which
w L. Lauderdale is the president,
and which institution is doing a re-
'1arEable business, and the Alabama
Penny Savings Bank, of which w. R.
pcttiford has the distinction of being
The oldest bank president in point of
service in the race.
Then there are two banks at Vicks-
burg, Miss, and it is in this place that
Nashville is represented, in the person
Of r. G. Ewing, Jr., who is cashier Of
the Union Savings Bank. The Lin
coin Savings Bank is the name of the
other bank at Vicksburg. 1t is as
-onishing to see that in the largest
cities it is impossible for the Negroes
to get close enough together with their
moneys to open these institutions.
There is not a Negro bank in Mont
gOmery, Mobile or New Orleans, yet
i.her OF these cities could support one
