WERE SEEN BY NEIGHsoRs

A prowler, described as being tall
and slim, and wearing a derby hat,
tried to enter II and 13 Ball Block
shortly after $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. Mrs. Parr, who occupies No.
10, was awakened and on going to
front window, saw a man using
bunch of keys. She notified the
police this morning and said that the
man left the neighborhood within
about an hour, after striking match
to look at his watch.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the home of Forrest L.
Smith, 143 Brighton avenue, last
Saturday night. Saturday morning
Mr.. Smith cashed a 81, 500 check at
the First National Bank. 1t is evil
dent that crook saw the roll, as
that night three men went to his
home and tried to gain an entrance.
A woman, who occupied a house
nearby, was i'll last Saturday night
and at midnight arose and looked
out of her window. She saw man
on the roof of the front porch, beck
onlng to two men below. Presently
a man, woman and child came down
Brighton avenue and the trio fed.
Mr.. Smith says he heard noises,
but he gave the matter no further
attention, and fell asleep. Sunday
morning, however, he heard the
story of his neighbor. Mr. Smith ex-
amined the porch and found marks
on the posts which were made by
the burglar in climbing to the roof.
Thinking that the thieves might
make another attempt Sunday night,
Mr.. Smith armed himself and watch

enthusiasm similar to those that att

NEW SECRETARY
OF WAR NAMED
Luke E. Wright Is Chosen to Sue
Ceed Taft in President ROOse-
VeIt'S Cabinet.
BELONGS TO THE OPPOSITION

Washington, June 20.-The appoint
ment of General Luke e. Wright of
Tennessee to be secretary of war was
announced at the White House when
Mr.. Taft's resignation was received
to take effect on June 30. Mr. Wright
Is Democrat, or generally considered
one. President Roosevelt appointed
him civil governor of the Philippines
and ambassador to Japan He resign
ed the latter position last year.
The appointment Of Luke Wright
caused no surprise 1t had been an
nounced unoficially several times that
he was slated to succeed Taft.
An official statement was issued con-
cerning the appointment. 1t reads as
follows:
Served In Southern Army.
'Luke K. Wright of Tennesses will be
appointed secretary of war to succeed
Mr.. Taft. AS young man he was a
captain In the Confederate army He
is one of the leading lawyers not only
Of his state, but of the entire south
He has always been foremost in advo-
eating and insisting upon fair treat
ment for the colored people.
HE first definitely established his
reputation in the terrible days of the
yellow fever epidemic at Memphis,
when he practically made himself
mayor Of the town and took charge of
all the relief measures, showing what
may justly be called heroic devotion to
duty and Indifference to his own life.
"In appointing him the president was
Influenced somewhat by the desire to
recognize in an emphatic way the fact
that there Is no longer any dividing
line between the north and the south:
that all good Americans are in thought
and deed one. and the president was
Influenced still more by the fact that
Governor Wright's personal attributes
and experience pre-eminently fit him
for this particular position.
Experience In the Philippines.
GAS Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor he
won the affection and regard of the
army to high degree, and many of
the most distinguished of the men who
served in the army at the time he was
In the Philippines have urged his ap-
pointment because they felt that he
was in peculiar way their champion
and to a peculiar degree understood
them and their needs. This is especial
ly true as regards the men who were
Union veterans of ,the civil war, for
these grew to feel that the was al
ways specially interested In their well
fare. Moreover his great administra-
tive and legal ability peculiarly fit him
to deal with the problems In the Philip
pines, Panama and Cuba, for the work
of the war department is7now such that
only a man with special fitness and
unusual training is able to do justice
to it.
"Of all the men in the country the
president feels that Luke e. Wright is
equipped to take up the work of the
department, which for the last seven
years has been under the control first
of Root and then of Taft"

the American people and not theirs to
me for the opportunity l have had to

FLIM-FLAMMED.

The Hon. John Early, Of Chat
tanooga, in the opinion of some per-
sons. is only sham candidate Tor
Governor. He has been put forth to
draw the fire of the opposition and
later. when the batteries have been
unmasked some strong candidate will
he named by those in authority. This
they think will be done in about the
same manner as the delegates to the
recent Davidson County farce were
selected. This, we say, is the opinion
of many persons throughout the state.
Whether the opinion is correct or not,
we do not know, but we do know that
whether Mr.. Early is to be real OF
a sham candidate the leaders OF the
premature Davidson County Conven-
ton have placed themselves in bad
light by bringing out such an obnox'
ious candidate-whether he be a real
or sham candidate-as Mr.. Early.
They have placed every member OF the
convention in the position OF endors-
ing the disfranchisement of the Negro.
What have the leaders to say in
explanation of the homogeneous act OF
a convention containing a large num-
Der of Negroes, endorsing according
to orders a man who would make it
impossible for a majority of the race
to vote? Speak out, gentlemen. You
are responsible for the action Of the
Convention. Three-fourths of the
committee-appointed delegates present
knew nothing of Mr. Early nor his
record, hence simply followed theil
leaders. Speak out, Mr.. Wills, Mr.. Ma
pier Mr.. Brock. The delegates were
flim-fammed and we want to know
if you, gentlemen, are the innocent vic
Tins of some one higher up or wheth
or it was by your initiative that thu
committee-appointed convention wa
bamboozled into endorsing Mr.. Johl
