NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY.
Would Be Suicidal For Colored Men to
Vote For Bryan.

Vote For Bryan.
One of the greatest negroes TINS
country has known, leader of his
race and the honored confdant of
President Grant and Secretary Fish,
recently said. ut would be suicidal
for colored men to vote for Bryan.
They have nothing to hope for from
the Democratic party, which has dis
franchised them in the south and
which processes to regard them as
unfit for the ballot anywhere. The
only chance for the negro is with the
Republican party, and it will be sad
day for the negro when Republican
president will be elected without the
votes of negroes having helped to
place him In power"
In view of the fact that Bryan him
self has approved negro disfranchise-
ment In the south there can be no
doubt Of his attitude should he be
elected to the presidency. while the
southern Democrats would regard
northern negro votes for their candi-
dates as an Endorsement by the negro
race of southern treatment Of the ne
gro.
1t is impossible to believe that any
negro who has studied intelligently the
history of his race will go into the
voting booth and cast ballot In favor
of Bryan and against Taft and Sher-
man, the Republican candidates-the
candidates of the party which opened
the door Of hope to the colored man,
which gave him the ballot and safe
guards him in its use in every state in
which Republicans rule.

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
ToiIers Scent Danger In the FaIIacies
of Mr.. BRYAN.

ToiIers Scent Danger In the FalIacies
of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati last
week by Judge Taft with Oscar
Straus, secretary of commerce and la
Dor, and T. V. Powderly, formerl.
general master workman of the
Knights of Labor, that the attitude of
labor is growing each day more friend
ly to Taft The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been car
rying on has been effective, and the
laboring man, so Mr.. Powderly told
the candidate, is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that a restoration of
business confidence through the cleo
ton of Mr. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tention to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose of exposing some of
the Bryan fallacles In regard to labor.
Said Mr.. Straus: 1.-The most dangerous
of these fallacies is presented in
Bryan's slogan, Shall the people rule?
and we'll may he ask it, for every one
of his leading doctrines is denial of
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
eminent guarantee Of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition is as great menace as the
b. ftrT0 erTIQY nfOn do
posits," said Secretary Straus, 'is to
guarantee the loans of the banks, for,
as matter of fact, large part Of the
banks deposits is made up of credits
extended by the bank to borrowers and
by them deposited or placed on the
books of the banks as deposits"
Mr.. Powderly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: La
Dor never was better organized, better
paid more Independent or more re-
spected than it is today. Never was 1t
more secure in its share of the outcome
of the commodity or the good will and
confidence Of employers All this is
due to the effort of nonpartisan, well
differed unions What labor organiza-
lions now enjoy. and they enjoy more
than they ever enjoyed in the civilized
world before, came as the result OF
Intelligent, cooperative effort exerted
in a nonpartisan way through their
unions.
"Of course there are many men out
of employment as the result of the
recent depression, but to my knowl-
edge men are returning to their cd oc-
equations all over the country and at
their old rates of pay. | recall the
awful panic of 1873 and that of 1893,
and in neither case did men go back to
work at their old wages. The case is
different now. and to my mind 1t would
be suicidal for labor to vote in such
way as to imperil the return of full
prosperity, SO rapidly manifesting
itself"

An orioinaI Oath of Allegiance.

In the old days when the Spanish
province of Aragon was proud and
independent monarchy the people used
when choosing their king the following
singular form of election:
1--WE, the freeborn inhabitants of the
ancient kingdom of Aragon, who are
equal to you. Don Philip. and some
thing more. elect you to be our king
on condition that you preserve to us
our rights and privileges. If in this
you should fail we own you for our
king no longer"

THE PARTY OF YOUTH
Why Young Men Vote the Repub-
Iican Ticket.
IT STANDS FOR PROGRESS.
New Voters Proud to Ally Themselves
With the Party of Lincoln-lts Past
Performances Presase a Still More
Glorious Future.

1t is not without significance that
young men who have just attained
their majority are found, as a rule,
voting the Republican ticket. The rea-
son is plain. Those young men look
on the Republican party as the party
of hope. the party of promise and of
performance, the party for whose can
didates they will be proud to say in
later years that they cast their first
ballot, the party whose past needs no
apology, no balm of oblivion for blum
ders and for crimes no record Of slay-
cry, rebellion and attempted repudia-
ton, each stamped out in it's turn by
American freemen under Republican
leadership.
The Republican party is eminently
the party of youth. With Republicans
the memory of the glorious past is but
an incentive to make the future still
more glorious. To the Democracy is
left the congenial occupation of floun-
dering in the marsh Of bygone Demo
cratic vagaries, lured on by some new
and delusive will-o'-the-wisp to the
quagmire Of quadrennial failure.
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
ton in such company. He prefers to
march forward on firm ground, with
the party of Lincoln, Of Grant, Nc
ISinley and Roosevelt, of Taft and
Sherman and Hughes-of nearly every
great American, living and dead.
whose career has added luster to the
closing half of the old century and the
| beginning of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause it holds out a prospect for his
own advancement, because in build
| ing up the nation as a whole it offers
fresh opportunities to the individual,
because under Republican administra-
ton there is fair field for every one,
and every citizen is protected in the
| enjoyment of that which he has right
fully acquired.
The new voter who takes his place
in the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing in
the Republican victory, but also of
| knowing that he has helped to assure
prosperity for the country at large and
an UNNECESSARILY better chance IN
life for himself and those In whom he
is interested than If the harpies of
Organism had been permitted to befoul
the feast.

Ringleaders of Gang Which Got
100000 May Be Arrested

From sources which cannot be ques-
toned THE EVENING. STAR learned
this afternoon that the ringleaders of
the gang of swindlers which procured
$25,O0O in notes from the Blue Ridge
Enameled Brick Company, and at
tempted to dispose of them in half a
dozen Eastern cities, are under con-
stant surveillance of detectives. and
will be arrested within twenty-four
hours.
Two notes for $1,000 each have been
secured from another Newark concern
by the same gang of swindlers, and
have been deposited in the First and
Second National banks of Red Bank,
for collection by William T. Van Brunt,
of 72 Broadway, New York city.
Detective Sergeants Tuite and Hor-
ter who have been working on the
case several weeks, positively refuse
to discuss the case.
Three of the gang located in Boston
have disappeared.

POUGHKEEPSIE. n. Y. May l6.--
Harry K. Thaw entered court this
morning with his mind made UP to go
on the stand and submit to cross-ex-
animation by District Attorney Jerome.
Thaw will not go on the stand before
the evening session, if at all today
The judge said it was his intention to
question Thaw and to exclude women
from the court room while the pris-
oner was being examined. Thaw was
found reluctant to go on the stand,
saying he did not wish to be exposed
to what he termed "brow beating by
his former prosecutor. The lawyers
persuaded Thaw to agree to go on the
stand
Dr. Britton d. Evans, superintendent
of the New Jersey State Insane Asy-
lum, was put on the stand for Thaw.
While admitting incoherence in
Thaws letters Dr. Evans pointed
out that they were written FIVE
years ago. He replied, under Jcrome's
questioning, that Thnw WIS insane
when he shot white, insane when he
was in the Tombs and insane when he
wrote the will.
DIR. Evans testified that Thaw is now
sane, but it was not until after a lively
tilt with Mr.. Jerome that Mr.. Graham
was able to get this opinion of Or. Ev-
ans in the minutes.
Mr.. Jerome brought out the fact that
DR.. Evans excluded from this considera-
tion the letters and codicil of Thaw,
everything, in fact. pertaining to Thaw
prior to the first trial, SO far as he was
able to divorce the impression of those
facts from his mind.
Over objections by MIR. Jerome, the
court admitted the Doctors opinion.

undergraduates today organized bands
to search for Miss Bertha Vanderbilt,
who. missing since Wednesday. may
have been kidnapped, murdered or
ended her life by Icaping into the
nquednct in Carnegie Lake.
Handsome and vivacious. and gem
eral favorite. Miss Vanderbilt was em-
ployed as an assistant in the Prince
ton University library. She is 21 years
old and graduated from the Syracuse
University with high honors. Her
parents reside in Amsterdam, N. Y.
Although it is deemed by some that
she may have lost her life near Car
negie Lake, no trace of the body has
been found. despite careful dragging of
the waters of the lake.
She left her boarding place at 8
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, pre-
sumably to take walk. When last
seen she was in the vicinity of the
aqueduct in Carnegie Lake and may
have been drowned in an attempt to
ford Milestone Creek which flows un-
der the Raritan Canal.
A narrow wharf log is the only
means of saving ones self a long and
circuitous walk after reaching the

NUGENT VICTOR IN

Higher Bench Will Rule on
Points Against Primary Con.

HANDS DOWN DECISION
Kalisch Permitted TO Renew Ap-
plicati0n for Hearing on
Other Charges.

Chief Justice Gummcre, In the SUI
nreme Court today, allowed a writ of
eertiorari removing the indictments in
she election cases involving City Coun-
sci James Il. Nugent and others, as far
as the conspiracy charges are concern-
ed, to the Supreme Court for review.
term.
As to the other indictments, the chief
justice refused a writ of certiorari. but
granted permission to the counsel to
review his application in the Supreme
Court
The trial of the cases was set down
for May 26, but they will not be heard
until the question is settled in the SUI
preme Court.
Chief Justice Gummere, in passing
on the cases, said:
AN application was made last Sat
nrday for writ OF certiorari to remove
indictments found by the December
term grand jury. against Nugent and
others, charging them with election
crimes, on the ground that the indict-
rnents were SO defective that they
would not stand conviction.
Il have examined each one of these
indictments with unusual care, and i'm
dictment No, $50. which charges the
defendants with conspiracy to procure
persons to vote illegally at the Demo-
cratic primaries, is the one concerning
which most of the argument of counsel
was devoted to, and | conclude that
the rcnsons presented raise questions,
the solution of which are so doubtful
as to make 1t proper that the Supreme
Court should pass upon and determine
these questions before the defendants
can be put ON trial.
"The other three indictments are on
a different footing, two of which charge
the defendants with procuring certain
parties named therein to register ille-
gally in certain districts for the purpose
OF enabling them to vote illegally at
the general election, and the third in
dictment charges the defendants with
illegally conspiring to induce others to
vote illegally.
81 have considered the reasons upon
which the application was made, and
have reached the conclusion that these
cases are with legal merit, and for that
reason the application to these last

I deny this writ without prejudicing the
right of the defendant to renew the APP
plication at the bar of the Supreme
Court in June"
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott then said
that the trials had been set for May
26, but that no struck jury had been
empaneled. He asked the court where
he stood in continuing his prepara-
tions for the trial on that date.
The court said that in view of this
situation, Samuel Kalisch, counsel for
the defendants, should Lake up his
mind promptly whether he desired to
renew his application TO the court.
Mr.. Kalisch replied that he would
make known his decision on Monday.
Prosecutor Mott said later that he
would go ahead with the preparation
of the trials on the indictments on
which the writ was denied, until he
had heard from Mr.. Kalisch as to
whether or not the application would
be renewed in the Supreme Court.

CLEVELAND CAR
STRIKERS RIOT;
TIE UP TRAFFIC
Men Unanimously Vote to Go
Out at All-Niglt Session
and Quit Work.

CLEVELAND, May 16.-Cleveland's
street car system was tied up at 8
o'clock today by an almost unanimous
vote of the local union of the ANAL
gamated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees.
Meetings were held which lasted until
3 o'clock this morning, great enthusiasm
being displayed. Approximately 1850
men voted, according to official state
ment. Only at rare intervals was o
negative registered.
One of the first disturbances took
place at the Lake View car barns,
where Chief of Police Kohler was
struck by a stone, hurled at the police
by the strike sympathizers.
An effort to move the cars from the
Lake View barns was opposed by the
strikers. The men on the cars refused
to leave and crowd quickly gathered.
The police, headed by the chief, drove
the crowd back, and stones and clubs
were used. Many were slightly in
jured
Cars are being stopped in all sections
of the city by the strikers and their
friends. A Payne avenue car was de-
rallied and the crew Of a st. Clair ave.
nue. car was dragged from the car and
assaulted. The motormans scalp was
laid open On East Ninetieth street
mob of fifty men tore up the car
tracks and traffic was stopped.
During the early hours stones We're
freely hurled at many cars and rotten
eggs were thrown at the motormen and
conductors. The non-union men also
were hooted and jeered. For the most
part people walked to their places IF
business this morning.
The strike had its origin in the insti-
tuition of a three-cent fare. Following
the municipal election last November
a consolidation of the street car lines
came about. 1t then developed that
the Cleveland Electric Railway Com
pany, the major traction corporation,
had signed contract with the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, whereby
1t was agreed that in the event OF a
continuation of their franchise the
conductors and motormen would re-
ceive an increase of two cents an hour
and an adjustment of other minor al
legged grievances. This contract the
Municipal Traction Company refused
to accept as binding and offered an in
crease of one cent an hour. which the
men refused to accept.
