This position he retained until 1901, when
he was sent to Porto Rico to establish
that island.
Mr. Gardner was detailed by Secretary
Wilson for this important work on ac-
count of his long experience and special
fitness. Notwithstanding the primitive
state OF agriculture and the discour-
aging conditions which existed on
the island at that time, Mr. Gard
ner succeeded re-eminently in es-
tablishng fiourishng station there and
in bringing about a more modern method
of agriculture than had ever existed there
before.

Rico station for three years Mr.. Gardner

coRRoTHERs AGAIN ATTACKS.
Negro Minister Goes After Republi
cans Tooth and Nail.

Rev. Sylvester l.. Corrothers, a color
ed minister, was the principal speaker
at a meeting of colored voters last
evening at Galbraith NJ E. Church He
declared that 100000 to 900, 900 negro
voters will cast their ballots next No
vember for Bryan and Kern as "a re-
buke to the Roosevelt administration
for its treachery in dealing with the
negro soldiers and the lily white propo-
ganda of the south. which means the
political death of the American negro -
Rev Corrothers is president of the
National Independent Civil and Political
League of American Negroes He as
sailed the colored leaders who are
working for the election of Taft and
Sherman, and said that in the light of
recent events mo man can now tell to
which party the negro belongs"
In the future the colored men will
vote for men and measures and not
for party he said. He added:
If the union army could have saved
the country without arming the black
men, the negro would never have been
a soldier. SO the south is as much en-
titled to credit in this matter as the
north
He also asserted that the republican
party granted the ballot to the negro
solely for the purpose of maintaining
itself. In conclusion he said:
IF 1,0OO.oO0 negroes will vote for
Bryan in November the negroes of
this country will receive more respect
in the next four years than they have
received in the last forty Inde-
pendence, industry, self.respect de-
mand that the negro, like all other
American citizens. use his ballot to
secure his rights and allow no man tc
buy or sell him.

KING DENIES TROUBLE
Employees Of Great Falls Road Not
Disseminated, Says Superintendent.

experimenting Engineer King of the
Great Falls and Old Dominion railroad
this morning declared there is absolutely
no truth in reports of dissatisfactio
among employees of the company on ac-
count of a recent notice posted in the
waiting room of the motormen and con-
ductors warning the latter against treat
ing the former to drinks and lunches.
Two employees. Arthur B. Baker, a mo-
tOrman. and G. j. Farr, a surveyor Of
the company. have been discharged from
the service because. it is asserted, they
gave the newspapers tip that there was
such dissatisfaction.
Mr.. King says that after the reports Of
dissatisfaction were published he made a
tour of the road. After interviews with
every motOrman and conductor he found
all were contented. He also said that no
honest employe could take exception to
the notice.
1T did not reflect upon any employee"
said Mr.. King, land was meant as pre-
ventive, If any conductor was 50 inclined.
Il want to correct the statement that
only three trains ran to Great Falls yes
terday. Twenty-Five trains passed over
the line. Early in, the day we found the
generator at the power house was ground
ed. Trains were hauled by locomotives
from the Virginia side of the Aqueduct
bridge to Great Falls
Mr.. King hopes to have the repairs COM
pleted within few days.

MILLER GETS MORE TIME.
Contempt Proceedings Postponed Be-
cause They Promise to Be Drawn Out

The appearance of ]. Barton Miller the
deposed secretary treasurer of the First
Cooperative Building Association of
Georgetown. who was expected to pre-
sent himself before Justice Gould today
to answer to the rule to show cause why
he should not be adjudged in contempt
of court, has been postponed until the
regular term of the court in October.
The rule was issued because Miller de-
cltned to turn over the books of the as
sociation to Receiver Ambrose.
Attorney j. f. Laskey, representing
Miller. in asking for the postponement
stated that the hearing would probably
be protracted. and suggested that counsel
had agreed not to press the matter in va
cation time. The request met with the
approval of the court and formal order
Of postpOnement was entered
Miller claimed immunity rom answer
ing when the rule was originally return
able on the plea that to do so would tend
to incriminate him. The destruction or
spirting away of such records is made a
crime under the District code.
