JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO.

Howard University Students.

Prof. Kelly Miller. on Appeal OF
Howard University Students.
Editor The Washington Herald;
I have just read your editorial
I'm last Fridays issue under the
caption. 'Ill-tempered Appeal for
the Negro"
II appears that the council OF
upper classmen OF Howard Uni
versity has sent out a spirited
appeal to the press Of the coun-
try protesting against the abuse
OF flaming headlines, from which
the reputation Of the negro race
suffers great injustice.
However worthy may have
been the object Of this organiza-
ton. or OF the Individual or in
dividuals assuming to speak for
II. they have made themselves
liable TO discipline for fragrant
infraction OF the regulations OF
the university. These regula-
lions provide that no student or
organization OF students shall
engage in any public discussion
involving the name and policy
Of the institution without pre-
vious consultation with the prop
er authorities.
The evil at which these young
men are striking wildly Is In
deed an aggravating one. The
Misrepresentation Of flaring head
lines Is a cheap. reprehensible
journalistic device, OF which the
negro is by no means the only
victim. And yet It will be read
fly allowed that any institution
would be in constant jeopardy
that permitted its name 20 be in
volved in public discussion
through the uncontrolled utter
ances Of its student body in their
feverlsh anxiety TO settle the
evils OF the universe.
Reflection upon the attitude OF
your paper by this circular IS
particularly unfair and unfortu-
nate. for neither Howard Uni
versity nor the negro race has a
better Journalistic friend than

comprising the Gaesangverein. are disap-
pointed at President Tafts refusal TO
hear them at Beverly last week. after
they had prepared a special anthem in
his honor.
The President explained at the time
that IN Beverly there wasn't room for
such a crowd When the singers came
to this country before President Roosevelt
received them IN Washington. They sang
an anthem IN his honor and received his
praise. To sing before President Taft
was one Of their cherished wishes. and
would have been a browning feature OF
their trip across tho ocean. Now they
are wounded.
Charles o. Korth, secretary OF the
Northeastern Saengerbund Of America,
with headquarters at New York. who is
here with the Gaesangverein, said:
our visitors are disappointed Every
arrangement had been made through the
Austrian Embassy for their reception by
President Taft at Beverly. They were
informed Of that fact while they had not
yet embarked on the other side. One
OF their main objects IN visiting America
was 20 sing before the President Of the
United States. the same as the Vienna
Maennergesangverein sang at the White
House before President Roosevelt, two
or three years ago When the students
arrived IN this country. they were In
formed by the Austrian Embassy that
president Taft could not rncoft-a thcr,o

where by somebody. Whatever the trouble
may be. the visitors feel deeply dis

COLLEGE PARK. Md, May 2S.-The
uncertainty Of the national pastime was
given forcible demonstration here today
when the Aggies. playing against West

runs in the ninth inning after two men
were gone and tied the score. They won
the contest in the tenth inning, the score
being 9 to 5. With the score to

@Mudd struck out and r. Lendum fouled
out. Finger Goeltz singled to left and
Burns singled to right. The bases were
filed when Twigg planted one against
shipley's Uranium which caused him to
take the count. j. Lendum then tapped
an easy one to Sprague at third, and the
third sacker. with victory staring his
team in the face, heaved the sphere three
yards over First Baseman Stultz's head.
Owing to a ground rule. two of Aggies
only scored on this throw. Sprague.
however. made the mistake Of trying to
catch Shipley at the plate, and the ball
went wild. and Shipley and ]. Lendum
both scored. Umpire German sent Lend
UNI back to third, although there APP
peared to be no good reason for SO doing.
First Baseman Stultz should have held
the ball. but when he put it into play by
throwing 1t home everybody ought to
have scored. In their half Of the tenth

home with the winning run when

on Its Merits.
Special Disnatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 2s.-In the
presence Of between five and six
thousand people, mostly Navy SYM
pathizers. who were sadly disappointed
before the contest was ended, the Army
mule took the Navy's goat in the an
nual interservice base ball game on
Worden Field at the Naval Academy
this afternoon. The score was 2 to 0
in favor Of Army.
In the eighth, however, Surles, With
a safe single over shortstop, followed
by prettily executed sacrifice by Mil
liken and Osborne's tumble of Ulloas'
easy popfy, came around the bags for
the second tally, and clinched the game
Although they looked dangerous in
their lucky seventh" and for the first
and only time during the contest sue
ceeded in getting a runner as far as
the third sack, the Sailors were COM
pletely outclassed from the start. They
lacked the 'get-together-and-I lick EN-
spirit which has marked most Of the
previous contests with the Black and
Gray, and while there was q manifest
individual determination to go in and
win, the lack of team work was
lamentable. Anderson, the big south
paw. had been put on the slab by the
coaches for the Navy, and when in the
first inning he gave Lyman a free pass
that, after Anderson Of the Army team
had sacrificed, was turned into a tally
by Whitesides safe drive over third,
the Sailors seemed to loss heart. The
two played each other to a standstill,
SO far as scoring went, for the rest
Of the game. with the exception Of the
eighth, when the other Army run was
scored, but straight through the con-
test the Hudson river lads showed to
better advantage, and their victory was
earned through better playing. The
