Pittsburg. Pa. April 24--As a precau-
tionary measure. twenty-five detectives
and a squad of uniformed policemen
were stationed in the Carnegie Music
Hall tonight during the address of Sem
ator BENJAMIN r. Tillman of South Car
DINA, who discussed the race problem
before the Park Avenue (Allegheney)
Athletic Club.
Several exciting incidents occurred.
but no trouble resulted. There were
but ten negroes in the audience which
filled the music hall to overlooking.
At the close of his address. in which
he declared the races in the South were
gradually becoming more opposed to
one another, Senator Tillman called for
a vote of the audience as to whether
the negro was the equal of the white
man. The entire audience. except the
ten negroes. voted in the negative.
On man took exceptions to Senator
Tillman's remarks and made several in
terruptions Tillman made him admit
he came from Europe and bitterly de-
nounced Europeans who undertake to
Judge questions concerning this coun-
try. In discussing whether the negro
can be educated, Senator Tillman de-
cIared that Booker T. Washington was
the harbor OF refuge and safety to
which people flee when other places fail
and that Washington was but one ne
gro in ten million, and was half white
at that.
