BEFORE EXCISE BOARD
FAIRGROUNDS ASSOCIATION PRO
TESTS AGAINST SALOON.

The Fairgrounds Association for the first
time entered the lists as q protestant
against q saloon license at a hearing before
the excise board this morning. The point
emphasized was that, with regard to the
proximity Of saloons, a playground should
be classed in the same legal light as a
school. since the accounts Of the Play
grounds Association are audited by the
board Of education. This. 1t was contended.
tacitly gives a playground recognition as a
scholastic institution.
The applicant for license was Elmer F.
Haar, who conducts a wholesale liquor store
at 1lO4 18th street southeast. and desires
to have the privilege of sehing liquor at
retail. He was represented by Attorney
Alexander Wolf. Attorney Percival M.
Brown representa- B. B. Earnshaw, pro.
testant, who objected to the change of
license on the usual grounds, referring
briefly to the contiguity of the southeast
Fairgrounds.
pealed directly in behalf of the play
grounds, saying this was the first time
such a protest had been lodged. He argued
that since the playground, which was the
first in the city, owing its existence to the
generosity Of the late Senator Mcmillan
is devoted to the use of children, schools
for mental drill are, ii. as well as academic
buildings. comes under the law which pro-
INDUS saloons from Delng opened near
schools. He further urged that it Is worse
for saloons to be near Fairgrounds than
to be close to schools, since the children
when out of doors are more likely to come
in contact with intoxicated men issuing
from the saloons and such individuals will
also be likely to trespass upon the play
grounds and interfere with or brighten the
children.
y message was received from Maj. Sylves-
ter. superintendent of police, that he had
intended to appear and enter a protest
upon the same ground. but that an engage
ment prevented his attendance.
The excise board took the case under ad-
viSement.
Final disposition of the motion of Alexan-
der Guinsburg was held up until Wednes-
day for a rehearing on the refusal to grant
him wholesale license at 18th street and

Church Room or Jail Room.

We should be just before we are gen.
erous, declared Dr. Giles. I'VE must
evidence here more missionary spirit.
There are hundreds of craps shooters and
criminals in this city from North Caro-
lima. Virginia and Georgia, and if we do
not make church room for the negroes
that are coming here they will take Jail
room"
Rev. DR.. Stinson of Georgia got back
at DR.. Giles with the following:
DIR. Giles jargon is the jargon of Var
daman, and IL he is a minister of the
gospel why doesn't he leave the bar and
go out in the spirit of Christ and save
some of the craps shooters and criminals
he talks of. He takes the white mans
view that only lawyers and Jails can save
the negro race The negroes WHO are
criminals owe their condition to their en-
virOnment and the unwillingness OF men
of DR.. Giles caliber to go among them
and lift them up. L want to tell DR.. Giles
that there are good negroes here from
Georgia as well as bad negroes. and these
good negroes are going to save the race"
DR.. StinsOn had the large audience with
him. and it aplauded again and again his
strong defense of the race. and when he
had finished all of the preachers crowded
about him and shook his hand.

NEW YORK. July bishop Henry M.
| Turner, the senior bishop of the African
NJ E. Church of America, made sensa-
| tional speech attacking the country and
flag at the annual session of the New
York conference OF the church In the
Bridge Street CBrooklyn) Church yesterday.
| The bishop advocated emigration of the
blacks to Africa. and his remarks were
warmly applauded. Yesterdays attack was
only one of several the bishop has deiiy-
cred since the conference began, on Wed
nesday.
Bishop Turner's remarks came when he
introduced to the conference DR.. D. French
Hurley of New Jersey. He instanced what
he said was the widespread prejudice
against the colored race in this country.
and declared that his loyalty to the coun-
try was like the loyalty of jefferson Davis
The bishop said DR.. Hurley mad been in
eighteen battles and twenty-five skirmishes
during the civil war. and swore that he
was a white man in order to fight for the
American flag.
81 used to love the American flag once
myself, the bishop declared. But now
deSpiSe it, because America is the most
horrible color-prejudiced nation on earth.
Here negroes can be lynched, burned alive
and skinned, and nothing is done about 1t.
Il know that / have been criticised and
called a fool because 1 believe in negro
nationality, but 1 don't care any more for
my critics than 1 do for the bark Of a
dog.
Get Up and Move.
Here we are prescribed because of the
whimsical prejudice. of -lniisanthropes. and
we are just sitting down aAd whining. We
must get up and move to Africa, and L
don't apologize for advising the negroes to
leave country that Is saturated with
prejudice"
The conference was attended by negro
churchmen from all parts of the country.
and Bishop B. T. Tanner of the Florida

Murphy. the temperance lecturer. died yes

Francis Murphy was well known to the
old-time temperance workers of Washing

at the old Lincoln Hall. at 9th and ID

Did Not Oppose Smoking.

Mr.. Murphy was never opposed to SmOk-
ing or the use of intoxicants as a medicine.
His often-expressed views on these subjects
are as follows:
II don't object to smoking It's mis-
take to try TO take his pipe away from the
poor man. after he has done hard days
work. l don't advocate smoking but l say
the man who smokes does not hurt any one.
1t Is unwise for temperance people to in
Weigh against the use Of tobacco They do
great deal of harm that way.
"l;s a remarkable fact that in all the
thousands of places l have held meetings.
not even in the slums nor in the saloons
have | ever been insulted abused or ira
duced have never got into a quarrel
with any man. nor even been attacked. I
have taken the liquor dealer by the hand
and he has always given me fair treatment
i have always been welcomed even in the
worst places.
Perhaps that's because I have always
feit that men are not to, be made good by
a network OF legislation. by penal statutes,
by fine and imprisonment. BY adopting
such tactics in the past we have made the
liquor dealers and their sympathizers our
distrust and hatred. They don't believe in
oar religion. They don't believe In otrr
church They don't believe in us. We
should remember that the Lord was the
friend OF pubicans and sinners. and that
lie would have men won by love-
Il have never denounced the LIQUOR seller.
/ have found him good as the men in
any other business. Saloonkeepers and
wholesale liquor dealers have sent checks
Tor hundreds of dollars to help along tenn
perance meetings.
BY temperance l mean abstinence from
all intoxicating liquors as a beverage. That
Is not fanatlcism. When doctor pre-
scribes wine or brandy for the sick and
ailng IL Is not for me to step in and in
