IT is THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be ac-
cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock.
consequently there is no watered stock
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. It is SIoOs
NOW It will advance in price far beyoad
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoin
Memorial Building Company's stock go to
several times its present value.
This means that a share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 when stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Companys earnings will be 20 per eemt, and
that is four times par, with every dollar IN
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the sity
of Washington, where values are as firmly Fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. It the Company, as /. is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 shace of stock will be
worth $4,000. If it pays 30 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $4,000 Just
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
IN value so will the Lincoln Memorial Bald
ing Companys stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 share
is being rapidly subscribed, and the next aIot-
ment will be SI2.5o per share, to which point
it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in as completely on the ground

WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washington's population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in one place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia
There are seven theatres in Washington,
supported by a white population of 24I,923-
and few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
ized in the galleries. the only place to which the
Negro is admitted.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where a Colored professional or
business man or woman, and there are hun
dredS of them in the National Capital, can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF IT! 900 enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju-
dice swept completely out of the business dis
trict of Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived OF
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most huniliating con-
ditions.
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every colored man and woman VISITING
Washington.
Every colored man and woman in America,
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that a theatre, store and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
Any enterprise resting its hope of success
upon a NECESSITY is bound to be sue
CESS.
A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is NECES-
SITY.
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington
magnificent theatre, seating capacity $500, and
a store and office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
quirements of prosperous professional and busl-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-It is absolutely safe.
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
as money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with few dollars to invest, and you
are such man or woman or you would not
have read this far.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
are available for the offices, that dozens of
merchants are ready to rent the stores, and
that 100000 people are anxious to patron1ze
the theatre exclusively, and make it the best

CHILDREN GUARDED
At COULD WEDDING
Nine Detectives Do Duty at Nup-
tiaIS in N. Y. to Prevent
kidnapping

NEW YORK, July 11.-Mrs. Helen
Kelly Gould and Ralph Hill Thomas,
nephew of Washington Thomas, pres
ident of the American Sugar Refining
company, were married today in Mrs.
Gould's apartments on Park avenue
by the Rev. Dr. Webster of the Brick
Presbyterian church. Joseph Thomas,
brother of the bridegroom, acted as
best man, and the bride was given
away by her mother, Mrs. Edmund
Kelly.
The wedding party was confined to
the immediate friends of the couple.
According to the present plans Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas will sail for Europe
tomorrow.
The presence of the Frank J. Gould
children, little Helen Margaret and
Dorothy, at the wedding and the fact
that nine detectives, who admitted
that they were in the pay of Frank
Gould, watched the house, gave rise to
the report that Mr.. Gould had issued
instructions not to let the children ac-
company the newly welded couple
abroad.
There was a great scurry of the de-
tectives shortly after the wedding
when the two children, Helen Margaret
and Dorothy, left the house. They
were taken to the summer home of Miss
Helen MllleF dOu1u DIT lTNluS lOl-OIl-
the Hudson, to whose custody, it is
said, they had been intrusted by
agreement of the parents.
The fact that the children were
transferred from one automobile to
another during the trip caused con-
siderable excitement, but they were
safe at Miss Gould's residence last
night
Under the divorce decree granted the
former Mrs. Gould she was given GUS
tody of the children for the greater
part of the time, on condition that she
should not remarry. Neither parent,
however, was to take them more than
100 miles from New York without the
others consent.
In event of the mothers marriage
again Frank Gould was to have the
children the major part of the time.
He. too, recently married, however,
and is now in Europe, and a new
agreement will have to be drawn up.

GUNBOAT RAMMED
IN MIMIC BATTLE
Damaged by Submarine in Mimic
Battle, Vessel Is Forced
to Seek Safety

PROVINCETOWN, Lass, July IL
The gunboat Gastine, flagship of the
submarine flotilla, which was rammed
by the submarine Bonita during the
maneuvers today. was beached to pre-
vent her sinking. No one on board was
injured.
Two of the plates of the Gastine were
loosened. Her dynamo and parts of
her boiler compartments are flooded,
but the bulkheads are said to be hold
ing firm.
The accident occurred during mi
mic attack on the Gastine by the sub
marines, the Bonita, APPARENTLY mis-
judging the distance and striking the
gunboat with considerable force.
The men on both boats felt the i'm
pact and some were momentarily
stunned, but no one was injured. The
Bonita escaped with the slight dent
ing of a portion of her armor and the
loss of a small section of her railing.
AS soon as 1t was seen how badly
the Gastine was damaged, 1t was de-
cided to beach her near North Truro.
She will be thoroughly examined to-
morrow and preparations will be made
for repairing the damage.
The officers of the ships in collision
will not discuss the accident. The So
called "attack" on the Castine was un-
expected. Several members of the
crew were in swimming when the
Bonita suddenly rose beneath the gun
boat and, as she came up, scraped her
whole length across the bottom of the
Castine Water poured into the lower
engine room and the dynamo room
compartments of the Castine, flooding
them and threatening to extinguish the
fires under the boilers.
REACHES BEACH SAFELY
The doors of the watertight COM
partments were closed and the Castine
started full speed for shore. She
reached the beach under her own steam
and rested easily in shallow water.
All the crew remained on board.
The Castine carried eighty men.
commanded by Lieutenant Ralph A.
Koch. The Bonita was under COM
mand of Ensign Sloan Danenhower and
carried a crew of fifteen men. The
Castine Is the tender for the third sub
marine division, made up of the sub
marines Bonita, Grayling, Narwhal,
Snapper Stingaray and Tarpon. The
division commander is Lieutenant DON
aid c.. Bingham.
The boats came here some time ago
from Charleston to engage in subma-
rine rflaneuvers, the exact nature Of
which is kept an official secret.
At the time of the accident today not
a submarine was in sight, and 1T was
supposed that they were all out in the
bay. The others did not return until
two or three hours after the Bonita
had struck the Castine.'
The Castine was built in Bath, Me-,
and was launched in 1898. She is a
twin screw, schooner rugged, steel yes
sci of 1177 tons displacement.

Would lmplicate
Head of Police in
Scandal in Paris
French Socialists Throw
Sidelights on Arrest
of ROchette

PARIS, July I'm. Jaures, Social
list leader in the chamber of deputies
and other Socialist deputies called on
Premier BRAND today to explain the
part taken by exPremier Georges
Clemenceau in the arrest of Henri
Rochette, a banker, whose financial
institutions, the Franco-Spanish bank
and the Credit Miner, were closed in
March, 1908.
The Interpolation today was for the
purpose of duplicating NJ. Clemenceau
and NJ. Lepine, the prefect of police,
in the Bourse specJlations preceding
the close of these banks whereby a
group of spectators cleaned up $780,
000
The chamber however adopted a
vote of confidence in the government,
395 to So. Later, with Premier Bri-
and's consent, the chamber voted for
the appointment of a committee to in
quire into the whole affair.
M BRAND admitted that spectators
precipitated Rochette's arrest, but
contended the government had acted
because it was overwhelmed with COM
plants from investors in the provinces.
Subsequent developments, he said,
have shown that M. Rochette's COM
panies were on a sound financial basis.

HARMON FALLS 150 FEET
BUT ESCAPES INJURY

NEW. YORK, July 11.-Clifford b.
Harmon made an attempt this even
ing to fly in an aeroplane from Garden
City, l.. l.. across Long Island sound
to the residence of his father-in-law
Commodore e. G. Benedict, at Green
wich. Conn.
Not only did he fail, but his machine
fell a distance of $50 feet and was
wrecked. Harmon was badly shaken
up but not seriously injured. the
branches of a tree having broken the
force of his fall.
Harmon was off at s: 81 o'clock this
afternoon, but the weight of pontoons
which he attached to his craft to in
sure its floating proved too heavy and
he was forced to alight after going less
than mile.
The pontoons were removed and at
6:19 he was away again. But as he
disappeared in the distance, it was
apparent that his engine was missing
and when near Roslyn, l.. l., less than
seven miles from his second starting
place, the aeroplane began to descend
rapidly in its perilous drop to the tree
tops.
When the crowd gathered Harmon
was found viewing the wreck of his
craft
The engine alone was unchanged.
He explained that just before he
dropped only three cylinders of his en-
gine were working and he decided to
come down as best he could. He did
not say whether he would try again.

UNITED STATES GETS TEXT
OF MANCHURIAN TREATY
New Policy Looks to Commercial
Equality in Far East

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Through
the Japanese and Russian embassies
here the state department toIay was
presented with the text of the Man
churian treaty signed July by Mr.
Iswosky, minister of foreign affairs
of Russia, and by Baron Motono, am
bassador to st. Petersburg for Japan,
The department was requested to re-
gard the treaty as confidential until
July 13, when it will be published
throughout the world.
Much interest has bee manifested
in the treaty, particularly in the United
States, because of its bearing on the
far eastern policy enunciated by Secre-
tary Knox
This policy looks to commercial
equality in Manchuria and for the neu-
tralization of railways there. The de-
partment will give the treaty careful
scrutiny with a view to seeing that
American interests in the far east are
not initiated against.
