Of ohio's Senior Senator,

Chfllicothe, Ohio, April 25.---Dr.
s. s. Jordan; the Grand Chancellor
Of the colored knights Of Pythias of
Ohio, and one Of the leaders Of his
race in the state, has come out open
~ for Senator Foraker for president
as against any man that President
Roosevelt may select. He says that
with a few exceptions all the leading
colored men in America feel the
same way, and that "a few paltry po-
s1tions will not drive the colored
men against Senator Foraker, who
has always been their friend"
:. "The appointment OF a coIored
mar, to federal Office here or any

carried out without a flaw, and the
the magnificent naval review and
parade OF soldiers and sailors, to-
F gether with. many other brilliant and
spectacular features, continued to
make the scene from daylight to
/ dark one Of dazzling splendor--un4
/ precedented in the annals Of 'Vir-
g1nfa's history. President Roosevelt
was the stellar attraction, and his
/ PATRIOTIC addressr breathing q spirit
or broad and intense Americarism
IN every line, gave the occasion q
most auspicious setting among the
truly great events Of the country.
The colored people mingled free1v
amid the massive throng. They had
access to- ali the exhibit buildings
that were in condition to be viewed
by the public. The transportation
facilities were ample On the steam
boat lines to and from the Exposi-
uon grounds and connecting with the
'Var1o points Of interest In the
vicinity, there was no discrimination
In the service accorded the races, .
: The recognition bestowed upon
the officers Of the Negro Department
was gratifyingly liberal, and the
hearty welcome and courteous treat
ment extended them by the James
town Exposition Company were
deeply appreciated, not~~enly by
them. in their personal capacity, but
because Of what tt meant TO The race
at large. A commodous box In the
grand stand, Of Virginia, was set
apart for the Executive Committee,
and the officers Of the Negro Deyel-
opment Company, and when their
presence was called to the attention
Of the President, he acknowledged
it by gracious bow. Those repres-
enttpg the Negro Department were:
Messrs. T.. ]. Galloway, chairman of
the Executive Committee; Andrew
F.. Htlyer, secretary-treasurer Giles
B. jackson, director-general; Mrs.
A. M. Curtis, fiscal agent; w. Isaac
Johnson, president Of the Negro De-
velopment Company; Rev. A. Binga,
vice president; r. r. Hill, treasurer
and Robert Kelser, secreary. In ad-
dition to these there were Field
Agents w. E. Hope, Arthur l.. Mac
beth and. c.. II. Johnson Special
Agent r. w. Thompson, Chief Clerk
T.. Arnold Hill, Mrs. Ruby Page and
other attaches Of the official staff.
At the Negro building, things are
moving along nicely. 1t will be a.
matter Of few days to install the
thousands Of exhibits In an attrac-
tive fashion. Several Of the minor
buildings for the use Of the >conces-
Sionaries are practically completed,
and will open for business shortly.
During the opening day the restau-
rant on the Negro's six acre tract
was in full operation, and the out
look for the other ventures Is et-
ceedingly bright.

PROTECT MINOR LEAGUES.
Changes in Baseball Rules on Draft
ing Players.

Cincinnati Feb. s.-Important changes IN the
rules for drafting minor league players were
announced by the National Baseball Commits
sion to-day. At the request of the Pacific Coast
League the national agreement is to be changed
so that hereafter the drafting period in that
league shall begin and end at the same period
as the drafting period in all other minor leaguds
TO wit: September l TO October Is. OF each year.
In order fully TO protect the property rights
of minor league clubs and 10 prevent the dra1t-
ing of players contrary 10 the spirit or the ua-
tional agreement, the following new rule was
adopted;
Rule 45-Whenever major league club has
secured minor league player by draft, II shall
not be permissible for such major league CLUB
within one year after having secured SUCH
player by draft to release the player to any
other club in the same class out or which the
player was drafted until IL shall have first given
the club from whom the player was drafted an
opportunity 10 repurchase the player at the
drafting price paid by the major league club
This rule however. shall not be retroactive. that
is TO say. II shall only apply 20 drafts TO be
made In the future
In submitting lists OF purchased players as
required al present, all major league clubs
must hereafter file with the commission copies
OF the agreements entered into relating 10 such
purchases IL being the intent and desire of the
commission 10 make close inquiry into all agree
meuts providing for purchase. in order that all
the transactions may be bona fde, and not made
with the view of protecting CLUBS retaining
PLAYERS, thereby preventing the players deVel-
oping IN their profession and enabling them to
secure adequate compensation Tor their expert
ness as is provided by the national agreement
Copies OF agreements referred to in this rule
may be filed with the commission by any inter-
ested minor league club.
II IS required, in another new rule. that the
secretary Of the national association furnish the
national commission the full name and address
OF a drafted player and his salary when drafted
that prompt information can be given the
club drafting such player.
