On account OF the great reticence on
the subject observed in official circles.
and the desire Of President Roosevelt and
his advisers 10 have the case dropped
and forgotten. it cannot be learned in any
authoritative way whether Mr.. Tower S
resignation was rendered as a result Of
the embarrassing incident arising from
his telegram to the State Department that
there was opposition" 10 DR.. Hill on the
part OF emperor William. A few daVS
ago it was said in official quarters that
Mr. Tower had never resigned formally.
so that his resignation seems TO have
been cabled since the Hill incident was
begun.
Mr. Towers resignation appears 20 have
been a voluntary act on his part. how
ever, although the date set for his retire
ment is earlier than that mentioned by
Mr. Tower in previous communication.
He indicated then that he would re-
main in Berlin until August. This set
ting forward of the date appears to have
been due TO a desire on the part of the
administration and MIR. Tower 10 give DR..
Hill the opportunity OF presenting his Gre
dentials 10 Emperor William without any
great delay, in order 10 emphasize that
there was and is not the slightest obiec-
ton on the Emperor's part to receive

The Hin incident is ended. officials de-
clare. and nothing has come 10 light to
indicate that President Roosevelt holds
Mr. Tower in any degree responsible for
what has occurred. Too much idle gossip
on the part Of prominent members of the
society set in Berlin is given as the basis
for the supposed opposition to DR.. Hill.

HEPBURN STARTS FILIBUSTEU

Notice of a flibuster that may reach

as the Five-mile rapids. in the State OF
Washington. Senators Piles and Ankeny.
Of that State, are backing the measure,
and Senator Teller. Of Colorado. yester-
day. took sides with Mr.. Hepburn on con
stitutional grounds.
The discussion occupied the entire ses-
sion Of the Senate yesterday. and was
only stopped by a motion to adjourn.
which Mr.. Piles made when he found
that Il was impossible to get a vote on
the measure. Mr.. Hepburn contends that
the bilPs passage would injure the navi-
eating of the river.
In a speech on the bill, Senator Teller
took occasion to criticise the position OF
Secretary Root in favor OF an enlarge
ment of Federal powers. He deprecated.
ne said, what he conceived TO be the
steady encroachment OF the Federal pow

complimented the speech made By Justice
Harlan in New York recently, in which
the juTist defined the relative rights of

Senator Burkett Offers Bill to Limit

Senator Burkett, Of Nebraska, yesterday
introduced in the Senate a bill proposing
10 limit the use of injunctions by Federal
courts against State courts and State

The bill proposes to amend section 40

The writ OF injunction shall not be
granted by any court Of the United States
TO stay proceedings In any court of a
State, except in cases where such injunc-

lating to proceedings in bankruptcy, nor
shall a writ Of Injunction or a restraining

TWO HUNDRED LAID OFF.
Navy Yard Employees Angered a
Being FurIoughed.

Being FurlOughed.
Two hundred mechanics, mostly ma
chinists. employed az the Navy Yard.
were yesterday furl)ughed for ninety
days, beginning with the expiration of
their duties last night. The men feel that
in most instances the furlough means dis
charge.
Despite the fact that Congress on Mon
day appropriated 100000 to the navy
yards under the urgent deficiency clause,
the men were laid of.
The fact that many men have been re-
tanned has aEgered the machinists, who
say it would have been better for each
man in the yard to have been furloughed
for small period OF time than to have
the burden fail on the few. They also
charge bad faith in that thu appropria-
ton was passed with the understanding
that IL would keep the men employed at
the local yard.
The matter Will be taken TO Congress
by Columbia Lodge and Federated Lodge
of machinists, and efforts made 10 have
the furloughs reduced and distributed,
among a greater number Of men. thereby
reducing the burden.

II Is interesting 10 note that Booker
Washington IS not the real founder OF
the school at Tuskegee. The initial step
was taken By the State legislature Of

TO write 10 Gen. Armstrong asking that
white man be sent 20 take charge Of
some agricultural work for the negroes.
The act carried with IL an appropriation
Of 5000 Gen. Armstrong replied that
he had no white man. but a colored man
that he thought would DO the work He
sent Booker Washington, and the subsa-
quent development OF the school Is the
work of his hsnds-a practical realiza-
ton Of the ideal that one negro at least
has held for his race Yet IL is interest
ing 10 know that the planning for this
agricultural training was a deliberate act
on the part of the white people of Ala
basna- eager TO provide the best possible
training for the negroes of their State
The Washington herald., 1908-04-01

Another evidence that the white people
OF the South are seriously taking up
this matter Of providing special educa-
ton for the negro is seen in the effort
made at Columbus. Ca, in the last few
years. when practical industrial training
was put in the negro public schools
Here, under the direction Of the board Of
education and the supervision OF a wide
awake superintendent the work is pro
crossing in a most interesting way This
is probably the beginning OF a movement
which viii. in the next decade or so. put
industrial training in all the public
schools for the colOred race throughout
the entire South.

The idea OF industrial education is not
new. II had its origin back in the edu-
catiOnal history OF Europe. Especially
in Germany and othern northern countries
did it find its best form OF DEVELOPMENT
through the last few centuries. This
form OF education for the negro had its
formal beginning during the civil war.
In 1852 o. ". Howard recommended IN
dustrial training and put II in operation
in Mississippi IN the wake Of the North
ern armies Immediately after the war
this sort of education gave way 70 the
more scholastic kind that was every
where given 10 the white race About
twenty different associations sprang up
in the North and engaged in the philan-
thropie work OF giving educa uOnal train
ing to the negroes particularly stressiug
the religious side. II was thought that
il was the province OF the public schools
TO furnish the academic training for this
people. and in every Southern State the
carpet bag" governments inaugurated
a system Of public schools for all the
negro children. There was no effort in
these schools TO teach the industrial arts
Then there came a demand for some sort
of training for the adult negroes, and
here was the field for teachers Of the
manual and domestic arts. This was
largely undertaken by philanthropists.
The proposition has been advanced IN
every Southern State at some time or
another that the negrO's taxes for educa-
tional purposes should be segregated and
applied TO his own education, and that
none OF the taxes paid by the white peo-
pie for educational purposes should 20
TO the education of the negro, but IL is a
notable fact that Il has been rejected
in every instance, and to-day no Southern
State fails 70 contribute literally toward
its 'colored schools. Booker T. Washing
ton has said that education should be
symmetrical and sensible. and IS proving
his theory. No less an authority than
DR.. Stanley Hall states that the best
education in the United States to-day is
that being given TO the negro and the
Indian at Hampton and 70 the negro al
Tuskegee and other Southern Industrial
institutions.

Miners are at work driving the later

ore that exist ahead. In an upraise at
a distance of about $50 feet .bove the old
upraise, which was some 24O fe; above

be a season of big strikes and the good

the ore bodies be too big. The camp is
all right, the croakers to the contrary
notwithstanding.
