ADJUDGED BANKRUPT.
Action by Court as to Firm of Mar
tin Brothers.

The firm of Martin Bros, consisting of
Lee R. Martin and Thomas r. Martin, real
estate dealers at 1925 Pennsylvania avenue,
was today adjudged bankrupt by Chief JUS
tice Clabaugh. Edward s. McCalmont was
appointed referee.
The courts action was based on a petition
of Fannie s. Reynolds, Myrick II. Doolittle
and the Washington Times Company, filed
April last.
Guy H. johnson and Joseph D. Sullivan
have been acting as receivers of the firms
business by virtue of an appointment under
an equity proceeding instituted by Lee r..
Martin against Thomas r. Martin for DISCO
luton of partnership. 1t is expected the
receivers will continue in possession OF the
assets of the firm until the appointment OF
a trustee in bankruptcy, at the first meeting
of creditors, which will probably be called
in ten days.
Lee r. Martin answered the petition or
the creditors by admitting the firms in
solvency and inability to pay its debts. He
consented to the adjudication. which he de-
clared to be for the best interests of the
creditors and all parties concerned.

and in the absence of uniform to wear dark
clothes and white gloves.
At the monument the Grand Army of the
Republic will be formed in open ranks so
that the military parade can pass through
the lines. The commander has also made
large detail of uniformed members of
the Department of the Potomac to assist
in receiving and extending courtesies to the

gress. Another detail of uniformed men,
bers has been made to assist at the un-

THE RACES COMPARED.
Vital Statistics of Negro and White
Population.

In an address before the Anthropolog:cal
Society at the Cosmos Club last night DR..
D. s. Lamb discussed at length the ques-
ton of vital statistics of the negro popu-
lation OF the country. He declared 1t to be
q mistaken idea that the negro, a. a
race, is more susceptible to disease than is
the white man, and he attributed the
higher death rate among negroes to their
fatalistic tendencies, which incline them
to depend upon herbs and bark as medi-
cine rather than upon the prescriptions of
regular physicians. The only disease TO
which the negro is predisposed, said DR..
Lamb Is tetanus. but he attributed much
of the sickness of the race to excessive use
of alcoholic stimulants and drugs. An
other address was delivered before the
meeting by C. S. Sloane, his subject balm
