TWO ARE PROBABLY DEAD
Young Man and Woman Go for a Sail

Found Empty.

Montreal. Aug. Cit is surmised
that Shirley Davidson. son of Judge
Davidson, and Miss Kingston, daugh-
ter Of the late Sir William Kingston,
the great Canadian surgeon, were
drowned in the St Lawrence river
Sunday. Lady Kingston and family
live in summer at Varennes, a resort
on the st. Lawrence about twenty
miles below Montreal. on the opposite
shore. Davidson took Miss Kingston
out for Il sail. and the boat was found
drifting empty in the evening.

DETERMINED ON A CLASH
Alabama's Governor Inclined to Ig.
more Uncle Sans Courts.


Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 6.-No Of
fetal statement has been issued of the
conclusions reached at the conference
between Governor Conner, Attorney
General CARRIER and the associate coun-
sci employed by the state administra-
ton to assist in enforcing the laws
affecting railroads, as to the next
steps in the case against the Southern
railway.
While the governor would make no
statement his advisers let it be known
that the administration is determined
to enforce the state laws, at any cost
They said that if necessary an extra
session of the legislature would be
called, or troops be ordered out to
see that the states commands are
Obeyed. Their view is that the South
ern railway is defying the state law
against the removal of a case from
the state TO the federal court, and
thereby having its charter revoked by
the secretary of state, has placed itself
in position to be dealt with as an out
law or mob would be dealt with.
1t is considered more than likely
that wholesale arrests will follow In
the next few days of officials and en-
ployes of the Southern who continue
to operate the various lines in spite
of the fact that they are doing so
without a charter from the state.

That the Standard Was Not Heard.
New York, Aug. 6.-John d. Ach-

Oil company, has made statement in
which he declares that the company
was not given an opportunity to be
heard or to submit data in the prepa-
ration of the report prepared by Com
missioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith and made public. Arch
holds statement follows:
ION Saturday, Aug. 5, Judge Lands

This remarkable report of Mr..
Smith marks another coincidence in

quently as to rob them of even the
appearance OF being accidental. In
connection with its publication it may
not be amiSS to remind the public that
the act creating the bureau of cor
porationS provides that such reports
shall be made to the president for the
purpose of guiding him in forming
suggestions as to legislation, and that
they may be made public in whole or
In part only IN the discretion of the
president.
1T is sufficient now for US to say
that in the preparation of his report
Mr. Smith did not see fit to even con-
fer with us. We think the public will
agree that we are at least entitled to
be heard in such a matter. If Mr..
Smith had seen fit to confer with US
we would have readily furnished hin
the data for a truthful statement OF
the facts on this question"

Will Be Difficult to Prove.
Difficulty in proving responsibility
for the 6-cent rate granted by the road
to the oil trust will be met by the
government forces, as many of the AL
ton officials have died since the re-
bates were given, and no connection
can be proved with the high officials
of the trust. This will save John d.
Rockefeller. II. II. Rogers and other

UNJUST DEAL.

1t cannot be denied that Washing
ton has one of the best police depart
mentS in the country and the men,
or many of them, deserve great CON
sideration. The Bee does not agree
with the recommendation of Major
Richard Sylvester in his disapproval
OF the recent bill submitted to the
Commissioners by Congress. The
members of the force are entitled to
thirty days leave during the year.
While many of the officers are upon
their feet from morning until night,
many of the government officials are
baSking in the mountains of Virginia
or sitting in front of electric fans.
During the hot summer months the
members of the force must keep their
coats buttOned up TO their neCkS while
the perSpiration runs down their
backs like a stream from the BIadens-
burg, Md, Spa Spring. Why should
not the members of the force have
thirty days? Year in and year out
these faithful men patrol the city,
protecting the life and property of
the citizens while many of them are
away at the sea shore enjoying life.
The city Il too warm for them. But
the wealthy citizen remains away all
the summer. while the blue coats are
compelled to stay at home and pro-
tect his property. 1t is unfair as well
as unjust and The Bee doesn't be-
lieve that Commissioner West reject
ed the bill of his own volition. He
is too much of a humanitarian. and
Commissioner MaCfarland is TOO
much of a Christian. Yes. the bill
should become a law. The bill
should become 4 law.

MRS. WALKER SICK.

Mrs. Maggie l.. Walker, not with
the severe snow storm last
| Tuesday night and her failure TO ap-
pear AT the Bethel Literary, a large
crowd turned out TO greet her. Mrs.
Walker is a woman TO be encouraged.
She is indeed a business factor in this
country. She is a business woman
and IS doing more than any other
woman in the United States TO ad-
vance the colored people in business.
She is Self-made woman and the
organization that she represents is
an honor to the colored people. A
more deserving compliment could not
be paid her than to elect her secre-
tary of the St. Luke's for life. She
is entitled to it. She deserves it and
the delegates at the next convention
should unanimously elect her to the
above position. Attorney James H.
Hayes, the legal representative of ST.
Luke's read the address of Mrs.
Walker. While Attorney Hayes is
an eloquent speaker, he could not i'm
press the people as Mrs. Walker
would have impressed them. The
Bee means by that Attorney Haye:
is impressive in his own language
but not so when he speaks ether
peoples thoughts. However, Attor-
ney Hayes was applauded severa
times during the delivery CT Mrs
Walkers address.

public schools who failed to receive
their appointments at the time of
graduation because they were black.
MANY OF the school officers were op-
posed to them because they were
washerwomen's daughters and be-
cause their condition in life did not
command sufficient influence to secure
their employment in the schools.

illegitimacy overrides legitimacy.
The former often attempts to set in
judgment and dictate what shall and

treated with disrespect? One God
created us all.
There is no discrimination in

WHY ARE WE ASHAMED OF

There is but one nationality upon
this great globe that is ashamed of
one another. In the colOred race may
be found all colors, sizes and condi
tions. You are at liberty to pay your
money and solicit your choice. The
moment a colored man or woman IS
elevated from a scrub woman or a
street cleaner 10 that of a school
teacher, clerk or pianist, he or she
comes TO the conclusion that ne or
she is above the average Colored
American. The Bee has seen the
most refined colored woman in a

The Bee has received several COM

of lily white negroes. 1t is this class
of colored people who are dangerous
TO the social circle. They have been

Investigation shows that almost ev-
