This ls the true story Of Maggie,
an unfortunate, and her experience
with tho Spokane police. She re-
lated II yesterday afternoon to a
reporter for The Press, and she
will tell It to the grand jury, II
called upon. There is nothing OK.
traordinary about her tale-it Is
simply a recital Of the manner In
which the brutal and dishonest po-
lice officer can oppress an unfor-
tunate woman Of the street II dis
posed 80 to do.
How have the police treated me,
you ask" began Maggie, in a rem
iniscent way. They have treated
me all right as long as l had the
money, but when l was broke or
without friends It was the Jail for
me. There are lot OF good men
on the Spokane police force, and
whole lot of bad ones. You re-
member when the beer garden was
running on Main avenue? Well, 1t
was case of dig up for the police
men on the beat there right along.
Five dollars week, SO a week
was better-in fact, all that you
could stand.
" MANY PAID TRIBUTE.
"The testimony of the woman at
the police hearing before the coun-
Gil, who paid tribute, as high as $40
per week from her house, is the ex-
perience OF many other women run
ming lodging houses who undertook
to give any of us girls shelter. One
night l was in the garden on Main
avenue when a policeman entered.
Come, dig up. Maggie he said. l
told him that / had no money and
he insisted, so l gave him IS. He
then assumed a kindlier mood and
told me that II would go over to
a certain place on Riverside ave-
nue. could get my S. back. /
went and found things like he had
said. That man Is still on the po-
lice force. and has been promoted
under Sullivan.

recognition was, during the life of
King Leopold, personal friend of the
King and is the author of q book on
the Congo Free State, dealing with
his extensive study of the conditions
OF The colored races in various parts
of the world. The Importance of the
historical work just issued by the

the fact that it is written by white

subject without fear or favor. DR..
Abernethy is one Of the one hundred
American authors elected by the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, and by birth
Southern man. The book which is
entitled: 1.-THE Jew a Negro,'' proves
by Jewish historians and copious quo
taticns from the Old and New Testa-
1nent. that the Negroes occupied the
highest positions in Bible times, and
are the directdescendants of Moses,
Abraham, David, Solomon, and the
other patriarchs. 1t goes farther and
declares that these great Biblical
characters were colored men, and rea-
sons it out with the historical daring
and evidence which ought to make
every ambitious colored person want

An Open Letter.

Mr. Editor: While in reminiscent
mood, recently, / was reminded that
THE APPEAL was started in the year
1855 and therefore will pass the 25th
milestone of it's existence this year.
What number of interesting
events have taken place during these
twenty-five years, what wonderful adj
vancements have been made by the
Atro-American citizens of the Twin
Cities in all lines of life!
And as / WAS one of its early pro-
moters and know much Ct its his
tory, | believa ,t is no small thing
for a newspaper to 1--we for a quarter
OF a century GnCeI the circumsta lcos
which have GU unded TIE Ap-
PEAL. and it seems to me that some
sort tf celeblut:nn of the e:rnt
would lie eniner:!y fit ard proper.
and, | also believe that Tie citizens
Of the Twin Cities whom you have
served so faithfully and we'll would
gladly 1oin in making the event one
long TO be remer:he! ed.
Ny idea is that souvenir edition
of THE APPEAL be published con-
tanning a chronological history of the
events that have transpired during
its existence, cuts and sketches Of
prominent men and women, cuts Of
the beautiful homes that so many
nave become the happy possessors Of
and numerous other matters of inter-
est that would make such an edition
q most valuable one for us all. Then
as a grand finale public testimonial
celebration in some large hall on the
anniversary day of THE APPEALS
bith or such other day that in your
Judgment is more suitable, in which
all may take part in making the
event one Of the largest ever held
here
I would suggest, if the idea meets
your approval, that you select a num-
Der Of persons to act as committee
to carry out such plans as 1 have ad-
varced or as you may deem most ad-
visable.
Very truly yours,
T. A. EyIeS.
