JUDGE TERRELL AS \ JURIST.
A Popular Appointee.


Baltimore American, Sept. 10. 1907
There are quite a number Of men
In our city who seem to have risen
superior to the handicap OF having
a trace Of negro blood in their veins, "
said Mr.. ). r. Stevens, of Washing
ton, ID. c., at the CarroIlton.
In the front rank OF the class is
Judge Robert II. Tyrren who pre-
sides over one OF the six magistrates
courts established by Congress for
the District Of Columbia. These
courts arc in reality the municipal
courts OF Washington, and have iur-
isdiction in all civil actions in which
the amount involved does not ex-
coed $500. In certain cases they
have concurrent Jurisdiction with the
Supreme Court OF the District. No
one can be appointed a Justice in
one or these courts who has not
practiced before the Supreme Court
for at least five years. and there is
always keen competition for a JUS
ticeship, because OF the prestige It
gives an incumbent and the good
salary attached
Judge Terrell was first appointed
IN 1901 by President Roosevelt, and
again In 1905. He Is the only color
ed man In the country holding a
judicial commission from the Presi-
dent or the United States. The ablest
white lawyers OF Washington prac-
uce before Judge Terrell, and nearly
al! the litigants are white people.
When he came up for reappointment
the leaders OF the bar-Democrats
and Republicans alike-indorsed him
In strong terms. commencing him as
Jnrist learned in the law and with
the judicial temperament and COM
mon sense requisite 10 meet the de-
mands OF a responsible and important
ONCE. Judge Terrell was born in
Orange county. Va, ia 1857, and was
brought to Washington when very
young. He got his preparatory school
ing at Groton, Mass. and was grad
uated from Harvard in the class OF
"a, taking a degree, and being one
OF six speakers at the commencement
In his class OF over 200, being the
hrss colored man to win this honor
az Harvard. His wife. Mrs Mary
Church Terrell, is weli-known
writer and lecturer, and she has often
been proclaimed the most intellectual
coiored woman in the United States"

An opinion has gone abroad that
q man in ordinary circumstances can
NOT take in the Exposition on account
OF tae great cos-, uUt such is not the
case. Men can spend as much as they
desire but the man who comes to
see the Exposition cam do so az a
moderate cost. Good meals can be
obtained ON the grounds for from

attached 20 seeing the great exposi-

admitted 20 the grounds. Hotel rates
IN Norfolk and vicinity are no higher

ton and carefully examined MeskiI. They
said they had no record of him as a
criminal.
A movement to collect a fund for Pa
trolman Anthony Connolly, who captured
Meskil after a desperate struggle on
Tuesday, was started yesterday by Jo-
seph Scott, president of the board of cd.
ucation. Mr.. Scott has written a letter
to Chief of Police Edward Kern, in
which he inclosed a check for $40 to start
the fund. The chief replied, thanking
Mr.. Scott for the spirit in which his let
ter was expressed, but stated it would
be impossible under the rules of the de-
partment for Connolly to accept the
money without permission being granted
by the police commission. This permis-
sion, it is believed, will be granted, and
there is also probability that body will
suitably reward Connolly.
Mr.. Scott's letter to Chief Kern is as
follows:

He said he obeyed the order of Meskil
to search Lyons. but did not inform the
robbers of the fact that Lyons had his

declared, Meskil returned after taking a.
