Protesting against the jim-crow

elimination in the government de-
partments. and the manner I'm which
Negro women are being sent TO tne
workhouse. number OF colored law
yers. ministers and business men met
last night at Trinity Baptist Church
and perfected what will be known as
the District Branch of the National
Equal Rights Council.
The object Of the organization, ac
cording TO its organizers, Is to pro-
tect the rights Of the Negroes of the
District. That IS TO say. the coun-
cilmen Will exert every possible ef-
fort to have colored prisoners en-
tertained In the same cells i'm which
white prisoners are incarcerated.
They object TO discrimination in the
matter Of prison accommodations
The council especially objects 90
the Jim crow law. no matter whether
It applied here i'm the District or else
where. It is insisted there should
be no distinction between the races.
THREATEN GENERAL BOYCOTT.
If the Negro women who are found
guilty of ofrenses by the police judg-
.es are not allowed TO go free, on the
payment of reasonable fines. the coun
ell promises to start the boycott in
the servant line.
Some morning when the white
people wake up and look about for
their servants" said one of the mem
bers last night. they will be treated
20 surprise. They will have TO get
their own breakfast. for there will
be a boycott. The council Is organ
lied for a specific purpose. and that
purpose is unqualified equal rights.
Until they get that right, or sufficient
recognition where Jim crow cars are
concerned, they will continue TO wage
a fierce war on the Caucasian race"
They also declare that to attain
their object they intend creating a
colored attorney general" who will
be detailed each day TO the Police
Court 20 look after the interests of
the Negro race. Also the council pro
poses shattering the alleged discrim-
ination in the selection OF juries To
insists there shall be more Negro
jurors.
DEPARTMENT ROW DISCUSSED.
The recent friction between
white and a colored clerk in the
Treasury Department also has COM
manded the attention OF the coun-
Gil. The members object strenuous
ly TO the alleged feeling between the
two races represented in the depart
ments. There should be complete
harmony. the Negroes should be ac-
corded the same courtesy and con-
sideration as the white man, is their
contention.
The jim crow cars should be abol-
ished, they say. The law that Gre
ated such a condition is a blemish on
tue Constitution, they aver, and
should be repealed.
The council is yet in its infancy.
but the members assert they will
lose no opportunity TO make the in
huence of the organization felt.
Among those present at the meet
ing last night were w. Calvin Chase.
Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, Thomas l..
Jones, and a score or more lawyers.

ENGLAND WILL NOT
SUPPORT JAPAN
AGAINST AMERICANS

London, July 16.-Japan will never
get the slightest encouragement from
England to disturb the peace in the
Pacific. On the contrary, the King and
Government of this country will siren
uously combat any such tendency ON
the part of its Far Eastern ally.
Great Britains primary objection to
encouraging-or to permitting, If 1t
can avert it-a Japanese attack upon
America arises from profound racial
sentiment. It's secondary objection is
less insistent for the moment, perhaps.
than the other, even though more
practical, and comes from the convic-
lion that a sweeping japanese con-
quest might involve the integrity OF
the British empire in peril.
Lord Lansdowne went into the alli-
ance with Japan, not to promote the
Japanese peril, but to forestall it. For
Japan to take the Philippines, accord
ing to the views held at present in
most authoritative quarters, would
be only one remove less grave in its
effect upon England than for the Jap
anese to take Australia.

nurses; that care" of patients under
any circumstances is not ordinarily
interpreted as dumping a poor devil
in the street.
A far more satisfactory attitude in
this matter would be an expressed
desire on the part of the manage
ment of the hospital to be so equip
ped that the institution might sue
cor the sick and dying under any and
all conditions. Such is the spirit
the public would like to see dis
played and there is no two ways
about it's being the proper spirit.
The Bulletin does not pose as an
butterfly on hospitals but it knows
that cases Of contagious disease are
not turned away from public hos
pitfalls in the city of New York to
kick around as best they may in the
streets. The hospital takes any
thing and everything that comes,
and there has not yet been a uni
versal cutlery as to the danger to
which other patients are exposed
AS matter of fact the manage
ment of these institutions on the
mainland has been so successful that
the public feels that if there is one
place where they know what to do
and how to do it, how to handle the
contagious case and prevent contag-
ion spreading, that place Is the pub
lie hospital.
When it comes to the purchase Of
supplies for public institution this
paper understands that there is IA
law on the subject. The only pos
sible point at issue as regards the
druggists is whether the law has
been evaded, followed or applies in
this case. The Blu ! e t / n is not
impressed with Mr.. Bishops claim
of the philanthropy of drug firm
that has in certain instances I'M
ported on a commission only" Pcs
sibly Mr.. Bishop doesn't mean what
he said. There are lots of people
who make their whole profit in
handling goods ION commission
only"
This matter of supplies is so cas-
lily got at and the law so clear that
the only point at issue is the care
with which the law has been OBJ
served.
Finally. when Mfr. Bishop and DR..
Hodgins have discovered who has
been prevaricating, it is to be hoped
that the Board of Trustees will de-
vote its undivided energy to round
ing out the efficiency of the Queens
Hospital so that those associated
with it may keep the peace, and care
for any human being brought to its
doors, without fear or favor.

powder bag that had been put in
When he saw the flash, instead of
dashing for the ladder to. save him
self, he crowded HON the charge in
the gun and with the help of the
other men got the gun closed before
the flames reached the bag. If the
flames had touched that bag there
would have been an awful explosion,
for the powder was confined in the
gun and would not have flashed as
the other did, but would have ey-
ploded. Not a man in the turret
would have been left alive, and other
damage might have been done. That
man gave his life for others.
Board Begins Inquiry.
The naval board of inquiry ap-
pointed to investigate the cause of
the explosion on last Monday visited
the United States Naval Hospital at
Chelsea today to take the dispositions
of the injured men. The board of
inquiry is composed of Captain Seat
on Schroeder of the battleship Vir-
ginia, Captain w. W. Kimball of the
tattleship New Jersey, Lieutenant
Commander Mark Bristol, chief ord
nance officer of the fleet and Lieu
tenant Kenneth Castleman, attached
to the flagship Virginia.
The board CAREFUL inspected the
turret in which the explosion oc-
Cured, and took the evidence of such
officers and men as were familiar
with the conditions about the turret
at the time and witnesses of the af-
fair The Georgia steamed up the
farbor this afternoon and the board
of inquiry transferred its investiga-
ton to the naval hospital at Chelsea.
Owing to the critical condition of
the injured men in the hospital, four
of whom it was feared might not
survive the night, the surgeons in
charge of the hospital would permit
the board of inquiry to examine only
three of the injured men.
Among the naval officers of the
fleet there Is a growing sentiment to
reject the theory that the powder
was set afire by stray spark from
the tunnels of the ship. 1t is known
that the crew of the after superim-
posed turret had an intense zeal to
become the crack crew of the fleet,
and it is thought that overzealous-
ness and disregard of precaution in
such rapid handling of the guns
might have caused the tragedy, the
explosion being due, possibly, to un-
burned grains of powder from the
breech igniting the bag of powder
Late today it was learned that
the dead seaman known as George
Miller enlisted under an assumed
name. His right name was Benja-
min Kreiger. He left his home in
Brooklyn and enlisted in the Navy
His mother is believed to be either in
Los Angeles or some place in
Georgia.

TEACHERS AND OUTSIDE WORK.

The proposed rule of the Board
of Public instruction that the en-
ployees of the department shall give
an undivided attention to the
duties of their position is one that
should be made permanent and
strictly enforced.
The wonder is that the department
was conducted for so many years
under the policy of taking what time
teacher saw fit TO give.
After the reduction of teachers
salaries, the Board was not in a po-
sition to enforce strict discipline on
this score because everyone recog-
nized that teachers were not receiv-
ing fair remuneration and in some
cases not living wage Outside
work was absolutely necessary.
The struggle to secure money for
restoration of the teachers salaries
was not entirely philanthropic.
There was business side to it.
When the Territory pays the teacher
for full time, it expects the teacher
to give return service.
The best and most successful
teachers in this Territory find that
thtre is not time enough in which to
do all the work they believe their
position and the welfare of the pu-
pits demand.
1t must be very extraordinary
Ieraon who finds it possible to finish
work when school is out and give
their time after that period to other
riltters.
A school teacher is entitled to a
good salary.
The Territory paying that salary
should demand reciprocity on the
part of the teacher in the form of
undivided attention.

THE HOSPITAL CONTROVERSY.

The statement of E. +. Bishop re-
garding the relations of DR.. Hodgins
with the Queens Hospital, having
been met so promptly and definitely
by DR.. Hodgins with counter
charge of falsehood, that phase of
the hospital affairs presents itself as
a matter of personal veracity and
cannot be very we'll discussed until
the undeniable facts are fully es-
tablished.
The contention Of Mr.. Bishop that
the hospital should make rules and
those enjoying the advantages of the
institution should conform to those
rules is one that appeals to any and
all persons who knew anything
about, public institutions, or private
fer that matter.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Bish-
op feels as he does concerning the
limit of the hospitals care of the
sick. The gist of the contention is
that persons who have the misfor-
tune to be afflicted with certain dis
eases must be dumped in the street
or left to the tender care of the
garbage man, but they must not
come near the Queens Hospital.
The public estimate of the prov
ince of hospital is that it is an in
stitution of humane mercy; that it
should alleviate human suffering;
that no one knows how to deal with
dangerous contagious cases better
than hospital physicians and trained

JAPANESE SNEAK IN.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-While i'm
migration officials declare that there
is no diminution in the flood of Japa-
nese coming into the country by the
channels already reported, new de-
vices are being invented whereby the
Japanese evade the immigration laws
and gain admission to the United
States.
One of these were discovered at
Philadelphia, where sugar ship from
Honolulu arrived a few days ago with
a Japanese crew. The captain on ar
rival paid off the Japanese, who were
examined by immigration officials, and
on their declaration that they were
seamen and intended to remain sea-
men, they were allowed to go. They
have not reshipped and have disap-
peared. The immigration officials have
no expectation that they will turn up
again. 1t is reported that the number
of Japanese in all the Eastern cities,
especially Philadelphia, is increasing
rapidly and this is noticeable in Wash
ington. 1t can not be learned at the
immigration Office that any Japanese
who entered the United States from
Mexico on the pretext that they were
en- route to Canada has been reported
as arriving on the Canadian border.
