Richmond, Va, March 6.-In
honor of the memory of Nathan
Moore, faithful colored servant,
the members of the Westmoreland
club has been ordered to assemble
in the cludrooms tomorrow for the
purpose of attending in a body the
funeral. This is step never tax
en- before III the history of this ex-
elusive club. Not even the death
of its own members representing
the society men of the city, has
been the occasion for such honor.
Moore wore six service stripes on
His arm, reprss nting each five
years service, and on Christmas
each stripe brought $500 as pres
ent. For many years he has been
doorkeeper, and though ill for
months his position had been kept
open for him. A carriage was
sent to the home of the old Negro
last Christmas, for he was too weak
to walk and insisted on being at
his regular place on Christmas
night. A handsome wreath bound
in the colors of the club will be
sent to his home tomorrow.

excitement here since the recent
articles which appeared in Pear

and it was found that there are on

CITY of New Orleans; all the rest
have colored blood. Many are
leaving the state, and the Catho-

TAFT
Speaks before the WberfOrce Club of Washington D. C.
on Negro Education. The President was Intro
duced by Register Vernon with Eloquent remarks

On last Tuesday night President
Taft, Senator Dick of Ohio, JUS
tice John M. Harlan of the Su-
preme Court, Register w. 7. Yer
non, President w. S. Scarborough
of Wilberforce University, DR..
John Hurst, Financial Secretary OF
,&he A. M. E. church, and Prof. w.
A. Joiner, President of the local
Wilberforce Club, participated in
an unusual program designed to
stimulate the interest OF their two
thousand hearers and extend finan-
cial aid to that institution.
1t was the regular weekly meet
ing of the Bethel Literary and His
torical Association, which was
founded by Bishop d. A. Payne,
the little giant of Methodism, who
also started the great Wilberforce
University on its wonderful career
of usefulness and achievement,
more than sixty years ago. In the
light of this history, it seems very
meet and proper that an effort to
aid the University should radlate
from this other well-loved child OF
his heart and brain.
Probably few meetings in the
cause of Negro education here or
elsewhere have been so fruitful OF
enthusiasm or so beneficial in the
general scope of its accomplish
ments.
From a racial standpoint these
were positive and valuable to the
last degree.
President Taft has often spoke
for Negro education, but never
with so certain and so strong
ring for the general and unlimited
dissemination of all kinds OF knowl-
edge among Negroes, as in this in
stance.
The President arrived just as
Prof. Scarborough was delivering
his address. This was suspended
while the orchestra filled the edi-
flee with the soul stirring strains
of America" the audience stand
ing while the presidential party
proceeded to the platform.
The address of Prof. Scarbor-
ouch was interesting and eXhaus-
tive. furnishing complete review
of the history of the University
since its foundation.
The honor of presenting the
President of the United States was
assigned to Register Vernon, VINO
acquitted himself with unequaled
grace and eloquence, when at
length he was permitted to speak
after the long applause when
greeted his appearance had subsid-
ed. ,.u
After congratulating Wllber-
force University on having the IN
fuence to bring together so large
and so intelligent an audience, MI
Taft said in part:

growing ace-4,000,000 when the

states has been bound, and with

which all Ohioans were deeply in
terested.
From a standpoint of unadulter-
ated sympathy and consistent de
votion to the principles OF right
and justice, as involved in the life
of the Negro in America, no adj
dress could have had a deeper in
terest for that great audience than
that of the Hon. John NJ. Harlan,
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
His record as a lifelong friend
of the Negro and as his answering
advocate in the high tribunal which
he has now so long graced, is un-
paralleled.
On the many questions which
have torn the MIND of the nation
and disturbed the peace OF the sec
tions, involving the right OF Ne
groes to an equality of citizenship,
the opinions of the Court have
often been adverse, yet IN every IN
stance there has been minority
opinion, solemn and sonorous,
voiced by that rugged son OF Ken
lucky and champion of human lib
erty, John M. Harlan.
His remarks on this occasion
were particularly felicitous. There
was humor, wisdom and pathos,
blended into an address of force
and eloquence which left an i'm
preston as of valedictory to a
cause and people whose interests
and uplift have long lain heavily
upon his mind and heart.
In the course of his remarks,
Justice Harlan paid a remarkable
tribute to the late Frederick Doug
lass, that grand old champion of
Negro enfranchisement and civil
liberty, saying she was the great
est man he ever heard speak in so
far as dominating a popular crowd
was concerned, and he had heard
the best of American orators, from
Henry Clay to Blaine, and conclud-
ed with the statement: 1--WE must
be awakened, both whites and
blacks, to our duty towards Wilber-
force and the Negro, who, before
the law, is the equal of any one of
us.
Cards were distributed for con-
tributions and the responses includ-
ed a donation from the President,
as well as one from his brother,
Mr.. G. P. Taft, of $1,000, which
goes to swell the fund of $l7, ,5OO
being raised to earn a conditional
gift from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie OF
a similar amount, to be used to-
wards the erection of large dor
mitory for girls at the University,
An interesting feature of the
evening was the presence of Miss
Portia G. Sprague, a grand-daugh-
ter of Chief Justice Salmon L.
Chase, who was one of the first
trustees of Wilberforce. She was
invited to stand, having declined IA
seat upon the platform, that the
audience might see her. Her ap-
pearance was greeted with ap-
plause.
At the request of Justice Harlan,
the audience stood and sang
" America, after which the bene-
diction was pronounced by Bishop
Grant.

Whole Country Awakening TO Terrible
Record Of "White Plague"

An interesting point of the white
plague problem in which Kansas is
actively interested will be discussed in
the meetings of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis which DIR. S. J.. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,

This IS the relation and transmissi-

cattle to man. DR.. William H. Park,
of the New York city department of
health, will present the results of years
of investigation of that question, which
is expected to go far toward settling
the conf roVersy.
That the nation as a whole is quick
ly joining in the determined fight
against consumption is shown by re-
port by Dr. Livingston Farrand, execu-
tive secretary. Since the fight began in
an organized way May I, 1909, the num-
Der of associations for the prevention
of consumption has increased from 800
to over 425; the number OF sanatoria
and hospitals fer the treatment of tu-
berculoSis from 29S to 400; and the
special tuberculosis dispensaries from
2Z2 to 265. During the year 1899, SO out
of 43 legislatures in session considered
the subject Of tuberculosis, and in %,
bills were passed for the prevention or
treatment of this disease. Since the
opening of the legislative season of
1910. OUT Of ten legislatures in session
up to May 1, all have considered the
subject of tuberculosis and every one of
them has enacted some law that bears

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

A good melodrama, we'll acted is a
pleasant form of entertainment, now
and then, and local people much enjoy
one. We have had some excellent plays
or the type of late and all over the
country the taste for melodrama seems
to be increasing instead of diminishing.
1t is just turn of the wheel of the
Strical lime again. Some of these days
the now extinct spectacular extrava-
gaia viii again hold the public atten-
ton, but it is to be hoped that this
period will be some time in coming to
the top. Plays of action demand good
acting, eXtravaganza silk tights.
The next melodrama to be seen here
will be the characterization of Sir Gilbert
ParkerS we'll known novel, 1.-THE Right
of Way" by Eugene Presbroy. 1t is a
heavy, Intense drama with many strong
situations which border ON the tragic.
1t comes to the Grand tonight.
All the evidences of success have been
supplied the operetta. "The Merry Wild
CIV" 1t has been burlesqued, it has
been Initiated and interruptions pla-
giaTfsts have not hesitated to steal from
its wealth of melody and from the
charm OF its story. 1t has Travelled
throughout the length and breadth of
America and has been as popular here
as it has been throughout Europe.
Lacking other worlds to conquer, and
being barred from entrance to the the
etrical activities of any of the planets.
it is now going over once triumpaed
sections ard is repeating the hit it
made on the occasions Of its first pre-
sensations. Indeed, it is more delight
full now than ever 1t is like the wine
that is consumed at Max1m's in the last
act-it gets better with age. There will
be a larger clientele awaiting the Lehar
operetta this season than that which
thronged the theater on the occasion
of the first engagement here of Henry
w. Saveg e'S perfect organization in the
Piece. The production. as beautiful and
fine as ever, will be seen at the Grand
Saturday meEinee and night.

MILK VAR SCARE.
Fight Threatened Between Producers
and Contractors in Boston.

Boston, April 2S.-A declaration OF
war between milk producers and con-
tractors in the so-called Boston dis
trict. with the consumers as the prin-
cipal sufferers, was proclaimed today
by the producers. 1t is expected that
hostilities will begin on May l.
The fight is on the rate per can of
S Il quarts. The producers demand u
cents, the rate paid during the winter.
while the contractors have voted to
maintain the % cent rate. which has
obtained during the summer months
for the past three years.
Fifty farmers, representing nearly
5000 producers. who supply Boston
with 10000 cans of milk daily, signed
the declaration OF war which, if car
ried into effect, probably means a milk
famine in Boston.
