prominently in the case. gained his information
 Anderson absolves Mr Reynolds of any attempt to check the investiga- tions, declaring the former assistant secretary was at all times enthusi- astic in his desire for prosecution. In fact, the first activity came as the result of encouragement which Mir. Reynolds gave him, he says.
 Reviewing the case, both by means of affidavits which were made several months ago and by verbal statements tonight Anderson says that the Amer ican Sugar Refining Company request. ed his resignation after MT. Havemey- CTS death in 1908 on the theory that he knew too much" He then had been in the company's employ for thirty-two years. At that time he says he had no positive knowledge that frauds were being committed, but he suspected it and as a result of the investigation, which he then undertook, he came into possession of what he calls positive proof that the government was being defrauded of at least s5O0,0OO at the single refn- cry where he had been employed
 When he laid his evidence before the authorities at Washington, Ander- son continued, the matter was at once taken up. He made several trips tp Washington, meeting Colonel Gerry, chief of the customs department of the treasury; Beekman Winthrop. an assistant secretary. and others. Both Colonel Gerry and MT. Winthrop prom. ised him, he says, that his claim for compensation should be allowed and he accordingly went ahead with his investigation.

welcome. Rev. L. A. Patrick then in
troduced Dr. Washington in a short
and appropriate speech. For nearly
two hours this remarkable negro held
the closest attention of his vast audi
ence and his speech merited it. 1t was
a marvel for sound sense and good ad-
vice. 1t was epigramatic, witty and
snapyy, and showed that the speaker
was a postmaster in platform oratory
and had his subject, the elevation of
the colored race, thoroughly at heart.
His speech not only shows knowl-
edge of the negro race, but shows that
he knows the white race as well, it
was adroit and diplomatic, in fact, one
of the cleverest and most interesting
speeches that has been made here. His
advice may not be followed by all ne
grOes, but it will by many and is
bound to result in much good. We
wish we had the space to devote to his
entire speech, it is well worth reading.
Beginning at Bristol Thursday morn

ton, the acknowledged leader of his
race in America, with party of prom
inent negroes from various portions Of

ands of his fellow-citizens, pointing out
to them as usual in his addresses the
advantages of souther life for the negro,
and breathing the spirit of amity and
good will between races, says the Nash
Vile Banner.
More than any other one thing in his
prominent life before the American
people, similar trips that DR.. Washing

The pathetic death of Congressman
David A. DeArmond, of Missouri, has
touched the hearts of the American
people. In trying to escape from his
burning home with his little six-year
old grandson, his favorite and name
sake who had been sleeping with him,
they both lost their lives and were
later found locked in each others arms.
The little fellow had been heard TO cry
out, aOh, grandpa, get me out of here
I'm burning TO DEATH "Yes son,
don't be afraid, grandpa'll take you
out, was the calm reply, then both
went down TO death.

means, and the negroes generally have
become to regard him so much as their
real leader that the sight of him is an
inspiration to them, and a distinct en-
couragement to them to work out
"their individual promblems in the
communities in which they live"
The evident intention of these tours
through the states of the south, where
large nmbers of negroes live, is to in
spire the negro citizens to become as
sets in the communities in which they
live and to become substantial citizens.
Through the National Negro Business
League, of which DIR. Washington is
the founder and the president, they
have been inspired to enter various
commercial avenues, and these trips
have a tendency to make his influence
enter the very home life of his people,
and, more than that, fit them for a
more useful life in the various commu-
mites.
More than any other prominent man
of the race, Booker Washington is the
acknowledged leader of his people. To
be sure, he has some opposition, and
some vehement disagreement is often
expressed, to his views, hut the reports
of these various trips will show that
every man in the community which
he visits, every man of worth and
standing, who has accomplished some
thing, and who holds the respect of his
fellow citizens in the community re-
CARELESS of race, holds the idea that DR..
Washington is the real leader of the
people, and TO some extent enjoys his
confidence and esteem.
10 j. G, Napier and other prominent
negro citizens of the race in Tennessee
the race generally is indebted for thi,
visit OF DR., Washington 1t was upor
their express invitation that he con
sented to make the trip, and all the de
tails have been largely in Mr.. Napierl
hands. The party in traversing Thu
state stopped at Bristol, johnson City
Greeneville, Knoxville, Hartman
Chattanooga, South Pittsburg, Colum
