DOES BOOKER:
OPPOSE TAFT?
GREAT coLoREo EDUCATOR AT
TENDS HUGHES MEETING
IN NEW YORK.
lny 5. ". Presg AssoeIatIonl

NEW YORK. Jan. 1T.-New York
politicians attribute hidden signifi
cance to the appearance on the same
platform here to-day OF Governor
Hughes and DR.. Booker T. Washing
ton, the colored educator and presl
dent Of Tuskegee institute. DR.. Wash
Ington is admittedly the leader oI
American negoes and his influence will
20 far toward determining the south
ern vote in the Republican national
convention. That his meeting with
Hughes to-day may result In increas
ing the popularity OF the latter among
the negroes is quite possible.
That DR.. washington will not open
" espopse the cause of Secretary Taft
despite the friendship of the negro
educator for President Roosevelt, T.
almost a foregone conclusion. The ma
: jority of the southern negroes. accord
Ing to men familiar with the political
situation in the South. favor the can
didacy of Senator Foraker because OF
the stand he took in the Brownsville
aRair.
1t is believed that DR.. Washington
is shrewd enough to realize the impos
sibflity of securing the nomination Of
Foraker, and farseeing enough to per
ceive that If possible, it would only be
harmful to the negro race, since /;
would make anImosities an issue ioi
the campaign. DR.. washington is toe
firm a friend of President Roosevelt
TO advocate the nomination OF the
chief executives. chief political en-
emy.
All OF these facts lead the wise ones
10 believe that DR.. Washington will
come out in favor of Governor Hughes
and that he will use his influence to
bring his millions of admirers to the
same opinion. So far Dr. Washington
has not expressed himself definitely
on the political situation, but great
pressure is being brought to bear on
him by the negro leaders of the South
To greater extent than any other
man. Or. Washington carries the Re
publican influence of the South in his
possession. and when he does speak
It Will be with the wisdom and final
fly Of an oracs!..
The Foraker forces realize this and
have done their utmost to persuade
the great educator to announce him
self in favor OF the Ohio senator. II
they succeed, Foraker will have a
lighting chance in the convention. Il
they fail, the Foraker boom will be
dead.

Gus CHURCHES.

Last night at the NJ. E. Church
South, on Fairmont avenue, the Meth
odist Church and the First Baptisr
Church opened a series Of union ser
vices which will continue as long as
interest is maintained. Rev. w. ]
Eddy, Of the Baptist Church, prenched
the initIatory sermon last night and
his effort was an excellent one. "The
Faith that Brings Results" was the
.heme of his sermon and his scripture
lesson was the account of the Fall OF
Jericho" from Hebrews the 18th chap
ter and 30th verse. He dwelt on the
great faith which had brought about
the fall OF the walls of the city and af
frmed that such faith would bring
about the destruction of wickedness
in our own city. Services will be hell
lgain tonight at 7:3O o'clock to which
he public is invited.
Last night at the. Central Christian
Church. the initiatory sermon OF a
series OF meetings was preached by
the pastor. Rev. w. H. willison. The
Parable Of the Sower was the sub
iect of n splendid sermon which he
delivered. His theme was divided In
four parts. first the sower, whom he
compared to the Christ and his fol-
lowers, the apostles, the ministers of
God and all those who carried the
word of life, secondly. the seed. which
is the word OF God. A striking illus
tration used was handful of seed in
comparison with handful of dia-
monds. what a difference In their ap.
parent value. yet after the planting
and harvesting of years how the seed
would fill the land and the diamonds
remained as in the time Of planting.
The seed was lIkened unto the seed
OF Life. Thirdly, he dwelt on the
kinds of soil. the hard. stony, thorny
and good soil. and the fourth division
was the Harvest. which is the test
ing time.
Prof. Simmons, of Wheeling, has
charge of the music and is organizing
an excellent choir Services are held

DENNIS MADIGAN DEAD>
 AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Dennis Madigan, after an illness of only few hours. died at 2:so o'clock yesterday afternoon in a hospital. whither he was removed for medical treatment. MT. Madigan was already very Ill when he was taken to the hos pital and from the first 1t was believed he could not recover.
 Mir. >Madigan was born in Montgom- cry in 1860, and was the son of the late Thomas Madigan, one of Montgomery's most respected citizens and for a num- Der of years during the old volunteer department days, the fire chief of the city. Mir. Madigan was a widower, his wife dying several years ago. He leaves no children. He is survived by his brother, Joseph P. Madigan, who has been in Hot Springs for several weeks, but will arrive today in time to attend the funeral. and by several cousins, Miss Mollie Sullivan, Hugh Meehan and Pat Gibbons.
 At the time of his death Mir. Madisan was connected with the Sanitary De- partment of the city government
 The death of MT. Madigan distresses many people in Montgomery. In char acter he was simple and honest and brave and kind, and his cleverness and duickness of wit, always charitable, made him q lovable companion as Weh as a true and loyal friend. Among his friends generally there was poignant grief when the news went from one to the other that he was dead.
 Nowhere, however. was there such sorrow as in the City Hall where Mir Madigan was one of the best loved Of the city's oficials. In the Sanitary De- pertinent he was known best for what were perhaps his chiefts traits his zeal ousness to perform his own labors and his cheerfulness and quiet willingness to do duty for any and all of his fel- | low workers. In no officeSin the build- ing whether the Mayors the City Clerks or the City Engineers or that | in which he did faithful service wes there yesterday any who did not feel | that he had lost a friend.
 The funeral will be conducted at o'clock this afternoon from st. Peters Catholic Church. Rev. Father Savage will oficiate. The following friends | will act as pail bearers:
 | D. W. Crosland Jake Hinderer Reese Martin, E. J. Mahoney, M. 0. Hogan W. J. Dove, James Mcintyre and Bald win washburn.
