MAKES BALLINGER HELP

Tells Colored Graduates Of Howard

Must BE Solved by Members Of
Race Themselves by Becoming Val

Which They Live--Sses Change
For Better In Southern Sentiment
Washington, May Speaking 10
the colored graduates OF Howard uni.
versity, near this city, President Taft
declared that never at any time has
the future of the negro as race ap-
peared more hopeful and bright than
at the present day.
The president impressed upon his
hearers the fact that 1t is for the
negroes themselves to work out their
own future and to make themselves
valuable citizens in the communities
in which they live. Conditions for
the negro in the south the president
said he believed are growing better
and better. Southern people OF the
better class are coming to look more
and more upon the negro race as one
Of their most valuable assets, Mr..
Taft declared, and he again urged
upon the negro the Importance OF
gaining the respect and the friend
ship of the white people among whom
he is to live.
President Taft personally handed
to the more than 100 candidates for
degrees their parchment rolls. When
the commencement exercises were
ended he was escorted to the founda-
tion OF the new Carnegie library OF
the university where he otiiciated at
the laying Of the cornerstone.
The president evidently enjoyed
the privilege of being a real maSon,
for he not only applied the customary
first dash OF mortar, but worked in
dustriously with the silver trowel un.
I'll he had covered the entire resting
place for the well proportloned stone.
Secretary Of the Interior Ballinger,
Minister Leger of Haiti aud President
Thirkield OF the university also were
called upon to WELD the trowel.
"Come on, Ballinger, you might as
well help" said the president to the
secretary, under whose department
the control Of Howard university
comes. But don't put on too much, "
the president added, "and spoil the
Job"

SENATORS ASK
FOR SUGAR TAX
McEnery Concludes His Pro-
lection Argument.
ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH


Burrows Of Michigan Makes Appeal
TO Popular Sentiment by Predicting
Decentralization Of Beet Industry
and Expenditure Of $too,o0o,ooo
Abroad Each Year II Duties Are
Lowered - erlstow Defends "Pro.
gressiVes."
Washington, May 27. = For more
than seven hours the senate was en-
gagged in the discussion of sugar. as
that subject is involved in the pend
ing tariff bin. Beginning with an eff
fort by Senator McEnery, the Louisi.
ana Democratic protectionist. there
were four set speeches. Three of
these were in support of the sugar
schedule as reported from the COM
mittee on finance, while the fourth
was plea for material reductions.
Senator McEnery made an earnest
plea for stiff protection. not only be-
cause of the necessity for such a pol
Icy in the interest of the revenue,
but because, as he declared, such a
course would render the United States
independent OF other countries. He
asserted that there had been a
change of sentiment I'm the south on
the subject of protection.
Senators Burrows of Michigan and
Smoot of Utah. both of them mem
bers OF the finance committee, also
spoke I'm support of the committees
action. Mr. Smoot presented a care
fully prepared analysis OF the situa-
tion and Mr.. Burrows appealed more
particularly to popular sentiment.
The Michigan senator charged the
sugar trust with an attempt to estab-
lish reputation for fair dealing by
pretending to be I'm alliance with the
beet sugar interest, which. he said,
was not the case. He asserted that
a reduction of duties would destroy
the beet industry, and thus render II
necessary to send S1O0,OO0,0OO year
out of the country for sugar.
Mr.. Brisow, the new senator from
Kansas, was the only advocate of a
reduced rate. He presented an
amendment eliminating all reference
to the Dutch standard in determining
the grade OF sugar. Referring to the
attitude of the so-called progress
sive" senators, Mr.. Bristow declared
that instead of wanting to destroy the
sugar industry they were the best
friends of that interest, as they were
for the protective policy. Their desire
he said was to prevent graft and
greed on the part Of the trusts.

EARTH TREMDLES
M IN MIDDLE WEST
ChImneys Raced at Many Points
In Illinois.

Chicago, May 27.-A distinct earth
quake shock was felt throughout the
northern part of Illinois, eastern Iowa
and southern Wisconsin. The motion
was from north to south and lasted
one.half minute. The quake was es-
pecially noticeable In and about Free
port. Peoria and Elgin, ILL.,, and as far
west as Davenport, la. Many of the
larger business buildings at Peoria
were shaken and on the bluffs IN the
residence section It was felt more
than down town.
In this city the shock was generally
felt, but in the great majority OF
cases was attributed to ordinary
causes. such as the passage of street
cars, elevated trains, blasting in dis
tant quarries or the passage OF struc-
tural iron on big trucks through the
streets. II was not until newspapers
made their appearance with the story
that the public learned that they had
passed through natural phenom-
enon.
Throughout the territory affected
the only damage reported was of a
minor nature. Several small fires
were started by the oyerturnlng of
stoves and many chimneys were
razed. Aurora, H., is said to have
suffered particularly in this respect.

= FlrsmSn
Atlanta, Ca, May 27.-TEs tension
in the Georgia railroad firemen's
x strike is increasing with every hours
& delay in settling the race question
involved. This was the attitude in
which negotiations for terminating
the strike were conducted. United
States mails held up since the begin.
N,Ag ming OF the week, a dozen counties
fecing Generalization of business and
the race issue brought continually
into unwholesome prominence, were
the factors which spurred the nego.
tiations through hours Of discussion.
Although no statements were made
az to the ground covered, it was
IS learned that a very quick settlement
is looked for provided an agreement
can be reached.
Governor Smith and General Man.
a- ager Scott of the Georgia railroad
had q long conference at which was
discussed the feasibility OF submit.
ting the trouble to u board made up
of men eonversant with local condi.
tions along the railroad. United
States Commissioner of Labor Neill
had his first conference with Cover.
nor Smith.
Various towns in the strike district
took inventory of their visible supply
OF food. Madison reported at least
."' Is days Of plenty In prospect Wash.
'' ington reported a shortage In yeast
i and prices rising.

l.1 the supplies run short, and II be.

Visions at Lithonia and ice has been

portion OF their contents in good con

This good nature OF the country
along the silent railroad was the re-
assuring feature during the negotia-
tions In Atlanta, for one OF the
gravest aspects of the strike has
been the uncompromising sympathy
10 which has backed 1t all along the
line.
That Mr.. Scott urged Governor
Smith to Issue law and order proc.

Governor Smith maintained his pre-
viously announced attitude, that until
there have appeared some definite
dangers that property will be destroy
