NEGROES WORKING

Strenuous Efforts viii Be Made to
Line Up Dissatisfied Negroes
Against the Presidents
candidate.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-A sys-
tematic effort is undoubtedly being
made by prominent negroes of this
city to prejudice their race generally
against both President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft. 1t, of course, grows
largely out of the affair at Browns
vile which resulted in the summary
discharge of those negro companies
belonging to the 25th Infantry. And
what adds to the seeming injury they
think has been inflicted upon the
black warriors, an order was issued
recently directing that the remain
ing negro companies of that regiment
be sent to the Philippines. They en-
barked only the other day from San
Francisco, much to their dislike, so
the story goes here. In this city two
weekly newspapers are published by
negroes.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
fists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted lin
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge Of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines it's
duration, seems to be between go
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar

If you see woman or man with lux

Their has dandruff to amount to anything.
In nearly every case where women and
men have thin brittle hair, they owe it
to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep
arations that 'claim" to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro's Herpicide tells
you that dandruff is the result of germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per-
manent cure of dandruff and it's conse-
quent falling and badness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herpicide Destroy

Afraid He Might Accept.

From what can be learned here
these negro leaders are afraid that
the movement to nominate Mr. Roose-
welt again next year will grow, and
that in spite of his declaration that
he would not be a candidate in 1908
an effort may be made to force ano-
Their nomination upon him. And if it
is not Roosevelt then a Republican
equally Objectionable in the person
of Secretary Taft, is to be pushed to
the front as the administration can
didate
Just what effect this agitation is
going to have upon the negroes in
the Northern and Western States
where the negro vote is a factor both
Republican and Democratic are I'M
able at this writing to determine. Ne
groes are numerous in Ohio. All
the reports from that State indicate
that they are generally in sympathy
with Senator Foraker and are against
the candidacy of Secretary Taft for
the Presidency. This is because of
the Brownsville affair. But whether
or not they would bolt Taft in any
considerable numbers next year in
the event he is the Republican nomi-
nee is another thing. Most of the
Republicans believe they would fall
in line rather than see any Democrat
win. Quite number of the Demo-
Gratis are of the opinion they would
be whipped into line. Senator Mar
tin, Of Virginia is one Democrat how
ever, who does not believe the Nor
thern and Western negroes are 60
ing to stand so solidly by the Repub-
licans, His idea is they are getting
mad, and next year or never they will
have to show little spunk or the
Republican managers will for the
next twenty years give them mighty
little say in party affairs.

Red Hot Against Teddy.

There is another in Philadelphia of
greater pretensions. They are all
red hot over this latest fling they
claim has been made at their race, and
are asking in loaded columns why is
it that the administration makes ii
point to send companies of the 25th
to those far-off islands when the re-
cords show that since the negro sol
diers have done more than their share
of service in the Orient? The scheme,
it is pointed out, is to still further
rub it on the darkeys, and all because
they are not liked by the administra-
ton and are powerless to help them
selves.
In this District is located Howard
University, devoted to the education

pie" They certainly are "colored''

ed up over the attitude of the admins
tration towards his race that he has
broken loose in the most ferocious at
tack that perhaps has ever ben made
upon President Roosevelt. The Pres
ident he considers the worst enemy
the negroes have in the United States
today In a two-column article that
was prepared with great care and
sent to all parts of the country the
Professor endeavors to impress upon
his people that if they do not back at
the powers that be through the bal
bot box next fall at the Presidential
election next year, they will prove
to the world that they have not re-
sentiment, and will meekly submit to
any treatment by the administration.

of Roman law in George Washington
university, Washington, d. c., on the
charge Of having murdered his moth
er-in-law, Frau Moliter, in Baden
Baden, on November of last year,
was resumed today.
Hau appeared as cheerful and con
fident as yesterday. He surprised the
court by making important admis-
-sions concerning incidents where he
had hitherto refused to speak When
the presiding judge called the hand
writing experts to identify Hau's writ
ing in the dispatch sent from Paris,
calling Frau Molitor to that city, Hau,
anticipating the testimony, rose and
said If it would expedite the case, he
would admit that he wrote the dis
patch. The judge inquired whether he
had sent it off, but this Hau declined
to answer. He also refused to say
whether his wife was aware of this
message being sent.
Philip Uhlig, merchant of Frank
fort-on-the-M Main, testified that he saw
a man on November 6 in the Frankfort
railroad station wearing a false beard
and mustache. The judge here asked
Hau to put on similar disguises and
Uhlig then recognized him as the
same man.

when it crashed into an automobile

recover. Cavanaugh was considerably
bruised, but not seriously. He return-
