FORAKER WON.

Senator Foraker in winning his
fight for the Negro soldiers won
fight for the greatest principle under
lying American liberty-that of the
right of trial before an impartial
court by an impartial jury before
conviction can be had and punish
ment inflicted. He waged a struggle
for the preservation of the most sa-
cred principle of American jurispru-
dence which rightly entities him to
the lasting gratitude of every citizen
OF this country, regardless of race,
color or condition.
The principle for which Mr.. Foraker
has for the last two years contended
with all the power of his bril-
liant and resouceful mind is the
same which had its origin in the
Magma Charta, the Great Charter of
English liberties, which the barons of
England wrurg from old King John.
That great instrument, declaratory OF
human rights, contained among its
more important provisions, the right
of trial by jury of ones peers, ex
emption from arbitrary arrest that
Justice should not be sold, de-
MED, nor delayed and that protection
of life and property from unlawful
deprivation should ever obtain sacred
and inviolable.
The right of trial has threaded its
way, basically, through English an(
American jurisprudence from The
signing of the great Bill of Rights b!
King John at Runnymede, June Is
1915. to the concurrence Of the House
of Representative in the Senate o
Aldrich bill, February q, 1909, sus

Representative Hobson, of Alabama
(the same OF Merrimac fame), is the
only Southerner who supported the
Senate bill authorizing the reinstate-
ment of the Negro soldiers, the vic
tins of Roosevelt's notorious and ill
advised order, Having been a soldier
himself, Mr.. Hobson had the courage
to deal fairly with fellow soldier,
even though his skin is dark. This
was manly and is the commendable
stuff in all manly men.

ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY.


A new Roger Williams University
is rising phenix-like to take the place
of the old which was destroyed by
fire some years ago. The work being
rushed forward to build up new
university is a credit to the Negro
Baptists of this State. When they
awakened to the realization of the
fact that the American Home Mission
Society of New York would not re-
build the university and that even
the site, where once stood the beloved
old institution, would be sold, and
was sold. for residential buildings,
they determined that there should be
a Roger Williams University. The
leaders of the denomination in the
State Immediately came together and
acted upon that determination. At
once one of the most beautiful and
classical sites for such an institu-
ton was negotiated for and the peo-
pie were called upon to assist in
furnishing the means to pay for it,
and they responded most Loyalty and

paid Already on the site was large
and splendid building, which was
partitioned and made ready for tenn
porary use as the main building for
the opening term of the new Roger
Williams University, which began on
January /, 1908.

Williams, is a capable man, ripe il

ing his sprinting ability against his
teammates of the north Cline has
taken on considerable flesh since he left
Los Angeles last fall, but with couple
of weeks of training he will be in the
pink of condition again.
While attending the military school
Cline was considered one of the fastest
athletes in Southern California and won
honors for his team and school in the
100 and 220-yard dashes and the low
hurdles. With Forrest Stanton, who is
now attending the University of Vir-
ginia, Cline had a running mate In the
dashes who was hard to defeat, and In
fact Cline holds the interscholastic rec
ord for the fifty and 100-yard dashes of
Southern California for the years 1905
and 1906. 1t is said that in trial run
Cline ran the 100-yard dash in 10 Is
seconds on the u S. c.. campus last
Saturday, despite the fact that he has
not trained since he arrived home.
Cline will be a strong contender against
other athletes who compete against him
in the coming track events and should
uphold Los Angeles by winning the 100
yard dash and placing in the low
hurdles. There will be athletes from all
parts of the state in attendance at this
meet and arrangements are being made
for a large entry list. 1t is expected
that when the competitors toe the chalk
line there will be al least 250 athletes
on hand when the creek of the pistol
sends them off their marks.

INJURED PLAYER IS
REPORTED IMPROVING
Manager WeIton of Southern State
League Team, Who Sustained Con-
cussion of Brain, Not Yet
Out of Danger

The condition of Les Welton, man
ager of the Dyas-Cline baseball team,
who is suffering from conclusion of the
brain as the result of being lot by a
foul ball, was slightly improved last
night, but as yet he is not out of dan
ger. Several telephone calls were re-
ceiVed at The Herald office up to late
hour last night inquiring into the con-
dition of Welton. From Redondo and
Gardena came the reports that he had
passed beyond recall, but thorough
investigation proved that there was no
foundation for these reports. Weltons
brother was called up on the phone at
1 o'clock this morning and word was
received from his home at 1858 Croker
street that the patient was resting
easily and had gone to sleep for the
night. A trained horse is in attend
ance, and DR., 7. d. Dewitt is constantly
at the bedside. Welton is expected to
be out again within the next two weeks,
unless unforeseen complications set in.
Second Baseman Haight, who
sprained his ankle and Shortstop Bou-
EFT and Tom De Ybarrando, who also
sustained painful injuries by being ac-
cidentally spiked while sliding to the
various bags in the game between Re-
dondo and Gardena, were reported rest
ing well and will be able to be out
again shortly All these players are
connected with clubs in the Southern
State league and are well known in the
amateur ranks of Los Angeles.

ARRANGE DETAILS
OF JIU JITSU BOUTS
Japtown Is Stirred by Announcement
of Contest Between Yo1<oyama,
Oriental Expert, and George
SanteII

Japtown is stirred to its foundations
over the jiu jitsu match planned by
local promoters for next Sunday night
at the Maud Junction arena. The ORR
entails are taking tremendous in
terest in the affair and Hashido, the
manager of Yokoyama the champion
of Japan, and also claimant of the 1867
pound championship of the world, de-
clares that he has already received en-
gagements for at least 1000 seats among
the little brown men.
The program is being rapidly ar
ranged by the promoters, Selmar Mag
nus and c. Stott In addition to the
main event of the evening, between
Yokoyama and George Santell, who is
credited with possessing the title of
the premier exponent of the far eastern
art in the middle west of the United
States, four other bouts will be staged.
Hans Marks and Young Hackenschmidt
will meet in a h-as-catch-can
wrestling match, and Tim Morris and
Tack Keith are carded for a Graeco-
Roman match In addition two pre-
limlnary jlu jitsu contests between
local Japs will be arranged.
Yokoyama yesterday sent to San
Francisco for his mat and will work
at the pavilion as soon as his appa-
ratus arrives. Santell will arrive to-
day and will train at one of the ath-
Ietic clubs.
The promoters have arranged spe-
cial feature for this program. having
reserved an entire section for women
and for white men. A special invita-
ton will be issued to the women, and
it is probable that curiosity will draw
large number of the gentler sex to
the arena. Yokoyama has surprised
the Americans by his unusual height.
He is regarded as invincible by the
laps and his training quarters at the
Japanese Athletic club on Jackson
street are crowded every day by his
cOlIntrVmen

must go up. Then he added a protest
against the Japanese building, declar-
ing it would result in congregating
large numbers of Japanese about the

PAY STREAK AT FAIR
TO HAVE NUMEROUS
ATTRACTIVE SHOWS
HIGH GLASS OF ADJUSTMENTS
PROVIDED
Faithful reproductions of Civil Wa
Battles to Be Exhibited, as
Well as True Foreign
Scenes

Probably the most notable character
istic of the Pay Streak of the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition is the un-
usual number of shows having high
educational value.
AS a usual thing the amusement way
of an exposition is all straight fun
some of it, at times, of questionable
character but at Seattle it is different
proposition. Absolute cleanliness has
been insisted upon and the directors
have accepted attractions of only the
highest class.
At the st. Louis exposition the
Battle of the Monitor and the Merri-
mae took the gold medal for excel
lence over all other amusement fea-
lures exhibited on the Pike. 1t was
more intensely interesting, of a higher
educational value and more ingenious
from mechanical standpoint than any
other show.
1t is reproduced with the same care
on the Pay Streak and Emmett Neon
nell, probably the best known Snowman
in America, the owner of the attrac-
ton, is personally supervising its in
stallation, which will cost $240,000.
Faithful Reproductions
The battle is faithful reproduction
of the famous civil war action which
saved the Union at one of the most
critical junctures. Not only are the
two warboats seen in action, but every
move and every cannon shot is his
torically correct.
The Battle of Gettysburg, another of
McConnells big cyclorama, is shown
in a separate building and ranks next
to the Monitor and Merrimao in eX-
element and interest.
Captain Baber's tribe of Siberian
Eskimo, in their village at the head of
the Pay Streak, will also prove big
attraction to those inclined to look for
the serious and instructive side Of the
exposition, as we'll as those seeking
only fun.
Tie Igorotte Village is another edu-
cational feature, as well as one cram
med full of amusement. The Igorrotes
are government wards, but Uncle Sam
permits them to be shown the world
over for the purpose of educating the
public to a proper conception of the
little brown brother of the Philippines
and his wonderful capacity for civlllz-
alton and advancement.
Oriental Scenes Elaborate
The Igorottes have builded every dex
tail of their very large village and they
are seen living on the fair grounds
lust as once they lived in Bontock.
Dixie land a true southern spectacle,
is a reproduction Of plantation life
before the war. 1t shows the old time
minstrels and every feature of the
happy life the darby lived before the
troubles came that set him free.
The Turkish Village and Streets of
Cairo, are spread on a more elaborate
and finished scale than at any other
worlds fair. There are 1877 people en-
ployed i'm delineating- the life of the
orient and there are herds of camels
and elephants for the youngsters to
ride
With a half dozen other attractions
of as much class, the exposition man
agement believes that, from the purely
educational standpoint, it has gathered
the most valuable amusement way ever
exhibited at any exposition.
