COLORED LEADER
TALKS OF FIGHT
Booker T. Washington Calls
Black PugiIiSt'S Victory a
GodSend to Race.

New York, June 6.--Jack Johnson's title
to the heavyweight championship of the
world was the basic theme tonight in a
sermon preached by Booker T. Washing
ton 10 the Negro Mems Business league
of New York. The fighters name was
not mentioned, however.
In the last analysis DR.. Washington
told his hearers, success is what counts
Success, despite race or color, makes the
man on top respect you. What the world
wants is success. Hold UP your sue
cesses. Don't herald your gloom.
you remember when a certain member
of our race went to Australia to do a job;
warnings were sounded that the color line
would be drawn. The question was hurled
at him, Aren't you afraid in that white
mans country?' Now suppose he had
gone to Australia crestfalien. saying that
be was a negro and much oppressed,
would he have won2 1t was a godsend
that he did win. 1t shows to the negro
race what determination will do.
The time has come when negro must
get a commercial, business footing, and
get it in this generation. In commerce
the dollar draws no color line. The man
who produces what somebody else wants
gets the trade"

Senate Leaders Expect Vote
on the Tariff Bill Before
June 1o.

Washington, June 6.-Having acted upon
most of the problems in the cotton sched-
ule last week, the senate expects to COM
plete this schedule Monday or Tuesday
This will bring the senate face to face
with the wooden schedule, which is prac-
tically a reamendment of the Dingley
rates, but which nevertheless viii be
fought by the progressive Republicans"
aided by Democratic senators. As night
sessions will be held throughout the
week. indications point to completion Of
the wooden schedules by Thursday OF
Friday.
No program has been outlined as to
schedules to be taken up next, but it is
probable that some work will be done
upon the free list The finance committee
has been called to meet at $3.50 o. clock
Monday to outline the policy of the SEN
ate so far as it is concerned. The date
will be fixed also for the reporting of
amendments on several questions not

NEW DIRECTOR
MAY Be NAMED
BY SECRETARY
BallingeT Expected to Choose
Another to Succeed Newell
in Reclamation Service.
HAS IDEAS OF HIS OWN
ABOUT RUNNING MATTERS
AND HAS NOT CONFIDENCE IN
.NEWELL's ABILITIES AS AN
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, June 6.-Unless there is
a change of program, F. H Newell will
retire from the office of director Of the
United States reclamation service some
time during the coming fall, probably to
be succeeded by some man not now
in the government service. Who that
man will be has not yet been deter
mined, but the indications are that he
will have a comprehensive knowledge
of the law in addition to an engineering
education. Mr. Newell, unless he so de-
sires, will not sever his connection with
the reclamation service, but viii be re-
tanned as an engineer, probably gen.
eral consulting engineer.
About the time of the change of ad-
ministTatiOn it was learned that GER
tain western senators were anxious to
secure the removal Of Mr.. Newell from
office That effort failed. In fact,
those who talked most about securing
the removal of Director Newell were
the last to make any serious effort to
accomplish their purpose. The agita-
ton they started was of short dura-
ton. In time it completely died out.
But it develops that Secretary Balm
ger Is not altogether satisfied with the
way the reclamation service has been
conducted. Although he finds no evil
dence of corruption or CrOOkedness, he
finds more or less dissatisfaction, some
little friction. and what he is inclined
to regard as lOoseness in the conduct of
that bureau of his department.

HEROIC EFFORT

PROVES IN VAIN
Husband Leaps Into the River
Above Niagara Falls to
Rescue His Wife.
IN WATER FOR AN HOUR
NEAR BRINK OF CATARACT
WIFE ANXIOUS TO END HER LIFE
DIES IN HIS ARMS BEFORE
HELP REACHES THEM.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, June 6.-Aaron
Cohen Of Buffalo saw his young wife
leap into the swirling river between
Second and Third Sisters islands this
afternoon, only $50 feet above the brink
Of the cataract. Without a moment
hesitation he followed her, caught her
hand and struggled desperately to save
her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her hus-
hands arms. Before it was possible to
bring efficient help an hour had passed,
during all of which time Cohen was
making frantic efofrts to reach the
shore But the struggle against the
eurrent-at this point 1t is about twenty
miles an hOur-was beyond his power.
Fortune aided him. With his wife
tightly clasped to him he felt himself
bump into a tree stump and on this
he got a grip with his one free hand.
He shouted for help. Finally word was
carried to the reservation police and
Policeman James Martin end three 9TH
er men with ropes hurried o the scene
Three times they threw a rope be -
fore It fell from COhen's grasp When
he did catch 1t he was too weak to
de it about his own or his wife's waist
The two were twenty feet away from
owing to the precarious nature of the
footing TO make a good cast. Pinned
against the tree stump by the terrific
rush Of water, all the strength nad gone
out Of Cohen and he had been unable to
keep his wife's face above water.
Once Cohen had hold of the rope the
men on shore began TO pun, and Mar
tin. who was in front, slipped and fell
into the stream, but quickly reg8ined
his feet When within fifteen feet of
the shore Cohen lost his grip on his
wifes body and it was carried down
stream and was lost to view.
Cohen was so far gone when the
rescuers got him on shore that he
could not speak for ten minutes. His
first words were:
she is out there Go and get her.
She is dead She died ia my arms. %
Superintendent Perry and Chief Shoe
bridge skirted the Goat island shore
looking for the body, buJ could see
nothing of It.
William Barnett and Hugh Brown
saw the body after d long search. II
was held fast by a rock about one nun
bred feet above the brink Without
ropes Brown and Barnett waded int
tire stream and moving carefully over
the slippery rocks reached the body
Just as Brown touched it the current
caught it again and it whirled around
In an eddy tt was with the creates,
difficulty that the two men brought
the body TO land. Life was extinct.
Cohen says that worry over the fact
that she was unable to nurse her infant
depressed his wife greatly and prObab-
ly caused her desire for death. He is a
robust man, and quickly recovered from
the shock

POSTOFFICE At
PAYSON ROBBED
Thieves Enter and Secure at
Least $500 in Money and
Stamps.
EXPERTS WERE AT WORK
SAFE DOOR OPENED BY LATEST
METHOD OF YEGGMEN.
Especial to The Herald.)


PaysOn, June 6.-Burglars entered the
Payson postoffice late last night or early
this morning. and after breaking open
the safe, secured at least SEQ In stamps
and money and made their escape sue
cessfully without leaving the slightest
clue to their identity.
The burglary was discovered when Don
S. Page, assistant postmaster, went to
the office shortly after Z o'clock. Signs
of their visit were plainly in evidence
Two rear windows had been removed.
A sledge had been employed in breaking
the knob on the safe door, and with this
out of the way a punch had been driven
through 10 jar loose the combination. The
safe door stood open; the drawers had
been taken out and their entire contents
removed. Letters and registered parcels
had been untouched and mail forms and
other papers also were undistuTbed.
Two hundred dollars was a conservative
estimate of the loss as given by Post
master J. S. Page, jr. Of this amount
500 was in gold and silver. Only the
fact that the greater part Of the funds
carried by the office were kept in a pri-
vate vault the loss undoubtedly would
have been much larger. As it was, only
the ready cash and stamps kept on hand
for daily business were secured by the
thieves

Attitude of Secretary.

The situation in brief is this: Al
though Secretary Ballinger finds lit
tie fault with the engineering work of
Mr.. Newell, he inclines strongly to the
opinion that he can find a more salts
factory administrative officer TO take
general supervision of the reclamation
service; to become its business manager,
so to speak. He recognizes that Mr..
Newelis abilities lie along the lines Of
engineering rather than administra-
ton, and il is that fact which inclines
him to the opinion that a change should
be made. BY appointing a new direc-
tor he believes he can overcome those
unsatisfactory features of administra-
ton which do not meet with his ap-
prevail.
Secretary Baliinger is not ready to
recommend a change at the present
time, as he desires to get more detailed
/ Information before taking such a rad
/ zeal step. During the summer the sec
/ rotary viii personally visit several gov
eminent irrigation projects, especially
| those that have given rise to complaint
I and TO trouble. He viii find out for
himself on the ground what has led to
unsatisfactory conditions, and who is
| to blame If his investigation fails to
/ bear out his present impressions, and
! if he finds that no fault attaches to
Mr. Newell, as director, he viii alter
his plans, and Mr.. Newell will remain
at the head of the reclamation service.
On the other hand, if investigation sus-
tains the secretary in the impressions he
now holds he viii recommend a change
after his return to Washington in the
fall
