TUsKEGEE's MILLION.

Booker T. Washington has been
striving for many years to raise the
endowment fund of his famous insti-
tute to three million dollars. BY the
gift of 100000 from Andrew Carnegie
few years ago the endowment was
placed at over million and recent
benefactions have raised it to over
$1,600,0O0. At the death of Mrs. Flora
l.. Dotger, widow of Andrew J. Dot
ger, of East Orange, N. j., Tuskegee
was bequeathed the residue of her es-
tate after 100000 is given to other in
stitutions, and 100000 to relatives.
The bequest to Tuskegee should, it is
stated, be between three-quarters and
one million dollars. This will raise
the total endowment of Tuskegee to
approximately s2,5O0,OOO, leaving but
100000 to be raised to complete the
desired amount.
This, the largest gift in the history
of Tuskegee, will be of great dou-
BILE value. 1t will enable DR.. Wash
ington to relax from his constitution
racking struggle of quarter of CEN
tury to place his races monster uplift
plant upon a safe and stable basis.
He should therefore soon be able to
devote more largely his masterful con-
structive ability to the uplift of his
people in the wider fields represented
by the National Negro Farmers Con-
ference and the National Negro Busi-
ness League. Further, this most re-
cent benefaction will enable Tuskegee
to widen the scope and increase the
size of its plant. Students have been
turned away and much needed equip
ment has not been secured by reason
of Tuskegee's lack of funds. Coming
at this time the great gift of the Dot
ger estate will be nothing short of
boon to Tuskegee and all that it stands
for.-New York Age.

race or nation, but for the human race.
Humane treatment, establishing the
guilt of evil-doers, as part of justice
is absolutely necessary.
We urge in favor of political and
judicial fairness for our people their
historic relations to the progress of
our country. Traditions of beautiful
sentiments and unparalleled fidelity
ought to be enough to give our fathers
a wreath of honor and to secure for
us, their descendants, place as men
and citizens on equal terms with other
men, Negro Drawn and adaptability
did much to make the south prosper
GUS and beautiful and happy.
We are alarmed that out of the
wrong so generally acknowledged, the
national sin of lynching and mob rule,
no voice rings out sufficiently clear to
check the mad career of the lawless
who murder innocents whom the law
has promised to protect. We ask the
sympathetic consideration of the pres
ident of the United States, the judges
of the supreme court, the governors of
states, the officials of law, the pulpit
and press and fair-minded people ev-
erywhere to the end that lynching and
mob rule and race riots may be driven
from the American commonwealth.
We earnestly ask that this govern
ment, which has shown it's sympathy
with the weak of foreign nations by
sending an army to Cuba, by joining
with the powers in settling the Boxer
movement in China, by suggesting that
honor had been satisfied to Russia
and Japan, that is in sympathy with
Russian Jews and Armenians in their
suffering, that has often protected an
individual abroad in the name of hui
manity-we insist that this govern
ment shall protect its weak at home
as well as abroad.
We commend every brave man who
has in the past or present in the north
or south, in the east or west, spoken
out boldly for justice, law and right.
We make this appeal to the reason
of all true Americans. We invoke the
good offices of blindfolded justice,
which has no respect of persons.
We appeal to the home-Ioving in
stinct of the real American-descend
ants of Saxons, Teutons and Celts,
whose motto is "a mans home is his
castle.o to espouse the cause of law
for all alike.
We appeal to the love that gave
birth to the Golden Rule that lives in
the spirit of the Declaration of 1nde-
pendence and in the justice of the con-
stitution of the United States.

Austin, Texas, August 20
There is some likelihood of the two
factions of the United Brothers of
Friendship laying aside their diff
ferences and getting together at
the session soon to be held in this
city. 1t is said that both the
Gaines and the Farmer followers
are anxious to reach an amicable
agreement.

Theodore l.. Arthur, who keeps
a livery stable at 2216 Church
avenue, Brooklyn, and owns
house at 2515 Church avenue, has
advertised the place for sent, stat
ing that Negroes are desired. He
says he used to get $45 a month
for the place from white people,
but is willing to rent it to Negro
for $50 month. He declares the
white tenents do not pay their
rent, but that he has no trouble
in collecting from Negroes. A
nearby house, occupied by Negro
es, is also owned by Arthur.

The Colored Ministers union of
Washington, of which the Rev. DIR. J.
Milton Waldron is prime factor, in
prefacing its appeal to the people OF
the United States to do all in their
power to stop mob violence and the
lvncbing. of human beings proceeds as
follows:
ITO God. the executive head of the
nation and the American people we
make this appeal as descendants OF cit
izens who were, even in bondage,
warm friends of the southern white
people and who until half century
ago made history for others, but none
for themselves. Since then we nave
striven against race antipathy and the
stigma of previous condition, and we
have rapidly improved in hteracy'
morals and economic status.
1--WE have bought land, built homes
and established churches, but such
states as desire to do so go on dis
franchising us, lynching our men on
frivolous charges and improved ale
cations and widening the chasm which
race differentiation has made broad
enough. When progress does not
promise to save a people, that people
is near unto desperation.
But let us appeal to the best In
stincts of men as long as reason has
chance and argument hearing. While
the brotherhood of man is doctrine
of our religion, we must have faith to
believe that this world can be made
better and ultimately set right. There
is no wrong that cannot be put away
by good men determined to do 1t.
ut is pitiable to note that the white
man, who makes laws for men OF
other races to live under, has not sue
ceeded in ruling according to the laws
he has made, nor has he the courage
and fairness to punish himself for the
greatest crime against the state which
he has ordained, the crime Of lynching.
We believe in democracy, which we
interpret to mean government by sur
frage and protection by law. The mis-
sion of the law is justice at any price
to every man. Now, justice Is COO
arbiter for humanity, not for any one

PLAYGROUND IDEA NOT GIVEN
UP By THE WOMAN'S CLUB

Of the character can be secured only
through practice. and a well super
vised playground is a safe place in
which to practice.
There is a wholesome kind of free
dom upon the playground because the
child must play by the rules of the
game, or be shut out by his playmates
or those in charge; therefore IL he
stays controlling his temper and
playing according to a fair ideal, he
is getting the right sort of training

have so generously offered their as
sistence to the playground enterprise

NEW WORKERS PREPARED TO
PUT SALT ON COMETS TAIL

NEW YORK, May 18.-From the
four great bridges across the East
river. from the decks of ferryboats,
from pier ends and wharves, from the
islands in the harbOr from roottops
and for the entire length of Riverside
drive the people of Manhattan
swarmed and clustered tonight to peer
into the west for the incandescent tail
of the receding comet.
Some prayed and all watched.
Nobody carried salt, but few car
ried bottles in which to seal up the
atmosphere for future analysis.
What these analyses will show can
not be foretold but there were no
bodily indications of cyanogen gas.
Word received from the west late
today that violent disturbances had
been observed on the face of the sun
added greatly to the curiosity of the
crowd, who reasoned that If the sun
was susceptible there was cause to
believe the earth might be.
Laymen were not wanting who ar
gued that the showers of the morning
and afternoon were attributable to the
presence of comet dust in the air. The
sky was overcast for the greater part
of the day and no observations of the

REGULARS SEEKING
DEMOCRATIC HELP
Abandon Hope of Reaching Any
Understanding with In
Surgent Senators
CHANGE RAILROAD BILL AGAIN
House Provision and Amendment
by AIdriCh Adopted Demo-
Gratis Confer
rAssociated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Abandon-
ing all hope of reaching any common
understanding on the railroad rate bill
with the insurgents, the regular Re
publcans in the senate moved an early
adjournment of the senate today to
permit the Democrats to get together
to consider propositions looking to the
completion of the bill.
Before adjournment Senator Aldrich
made an effort to obtain an agreement
to take the final vote next Wednesday.
but there were several objections, and
the request was not pressed.
1t is the general understanding about
the senate that the Democrats would
be asked to assist in eXpediting the bill
by permitting amendments to be laid
on the table, by refraining from speech
making, and by other means. with the
understanding in return that the last
/ three sections of the bill. relating to
capitalization, would be withdrawn.
The Democratic conference was at
tended by about a dozen of the Demo-
cratic lawyers. After considering prop
ositions advanced by the Republican
regulars, they decided to submit their
views to their colleagues in time to
consider any suggestion that may be
made at tomorrows session looking to
the fixing of a day for a final vote on
the bill.
AS result of the days labor, the
senate accepted by a majority of II
the house provision relating to the de-
fense of cases arising out of orders of
the interstate commerce commission
as offered by Senator Smith of Michi-
gan, the latter modined at the sugges-
ton of Senator Hughes of Colorado.
This provision, as it passed the house,
places the conduct of such cases in
charge of the attorney general and per-
mits the commission to intervene.
AS offered in the senate by Mr.. Smith,
the provision was so modified as to per-
nit ample notice to the commission,
and he accepted afterward a suggestion
from Mr. Hughes which also permits
the Intervention of shippers or other
parties at interest, and not only pro-
hibits the attorney general from dis
continuing such cases without notice
to the intervenors, but authorizes them
to proceed with the case even after the
attorney general may have withdrawn
from it.
In addition to action on the defense
provision, the senate also accepted an
amendment proposed by Senator Aid
rich extending from go to 120 days the
period during which the interstate com
merce commission may suspend for In
vestigation any new rates or classitca-
tions made by railroad companies.
