On New Years day the North
ern boundary line of the Negro res
idental section IN Harlem was eX-
tended another block, and now
colored tenants have taken the
place of the whites who have lived
on 18th street for years. Notice
was given the white tenents in the
five six-story tenements at IL to
81 w. 137th street several days
ago that they would have to vaoate
their flats the first of the year, and
despite the protests of many the
white exodus and Negro invasion
took place as planned. The build

believe that R0OSeVelU went 10 AL
RIGA to carry out the plan he dis
cussed with me when gathering
data on the Negro question. Again,
he has taken with him a large guam
tity of trinkets with which to pla-
cate the natives with whom he first
would be obliged to deal before
mapping out the country to be pop
ulated by the Negroes. He has kept
his plans absolutely secret, because
every nation of Europe, at the first
whisper of his intentions, would
direct dozen detachments to dog
his footsteps and prevent another
Fashoda maneuver.
"With Roosevelt, long before he
devised his scheme to deport the
blacks to Africa, the Negro ques-
ton always has been a paramount
issue. He told me that the crlti-
cisms he received from all parts OF
the country when he entertained
Booker II. Washington caused HIM
to come to the belief that it would
be utterly impossible to educate the
Negro to a standard of social equal
itv with the white race, and that
he saw clearly that no inferior
race could exist for any length OF
time and prosper in republican
country. Roosevelt said the attl-
tude the South assumed toward the
Charleston postmastership confirm
ed his belief, and that it was this,
based on other facts he had gath
cred. some of which l gave HIM,
that led him to form his plan to
see if the only logical solution OF
the Negro question-deportation-
could not be brought about success
fully. Through federal officers
scattered throughout the South he
ascertained that a condition existed
that was leading to one certain end,
and that would be the extinction OF
the Negro element by method 9th
er than race decay. His data cor
rectly informed him that the Negro
as a leborer in the South was last
being replaced by the Negro as a
thief, and that even such menlal
positions as walters, street clean
ers and day laborers on public I'M
provements all were being filled
with whites, while the Negro, hav-
ing no employment left open to
him, was gradually becoming more
and more accustomed to support
himself by thievery and to consider
himself at war with the whites. All
through his trips to the South

ROOSEVELT
IN AFRICA
Is he There to Settle the Fate of the American Nesro'
An Astounding Story of What is Believed TO be tne
Real Purpose of the Ex-Presdenfs Mysterious
Journey to the Dark Continent BY Wm Buckley

That Theodore Roosevelt, while
apparently in Africa on a hunting
expedition, killing tigers and fleas,
is in reality carefully investigating
conditions to ascertain if it be not
| possible and practicable to estab-
hsh in the Sudan country second
empire of Liberia, and thereby
solve forever the Negro question OF
America. is the disclosure made by
a United States federal attorney, IN
charge OF Southern district, who
relates the supposed secret plans OF
Roosevelt in all their details. The
plan, as revealed by the former
president s confidant, is to stake
out a good section of the country in
the Sudan, north of Congo Free
State and west of German and Brit
ish East Africa; hoist up the Stars
and Stripes at the four corners,
have Uncle Sam declare protec-
torate, organize the native tribes
into a suzerainty of the United
States of America, and then Will
come the expatriation of the Ne
proes from this country to the new
emnire in the heart of Africa. In
the rounding out of the plan, a
wedge will be formed by nation
under the control of the United
States, that will prevent the eXpan-
sion territorially or commercially
of Germany and will make the
United States a factor in the bal
ance of power among the nations
of Europe now struggling to retain
and enlarge their footholds in Al
rica.
The federal attorney who disclos-
ed what he asserted was the inten-
tion of President Roosevelt to solve
the Negro question while in Afrl-
ca bore out his declaration with a
buttress of facts that dovetail with
the movements of Roosevelt both
previous to his departing Tor Al
rica and since he has penetrated
beyond the reach of the newspaper
arm. "His plan to cross a terrlto-
ry not at present under the flag
of any European nation" contln-
ued the federal attorney, Ibis de-
Termination to take with him men
known to be expert agriculturlsts,
capable of judging soil conditions
his skill in surrounding himself
with representatives of the civil
and military arms of the govern
ment, and, above all, his persistent
refusal to allow any newspaper
men to accompany his expedition
all these acts and facts lead me to

cerning the Negro question, and
the information he received, / be-
lieve. is the basis for his expressing
himself so freely and asserting 1t
was his belief that the existence of
the Negro in North America had
become a question of the ability OF
the South to continue to, bear bur-
den that was becoming excessive.
Roosevelt will burst from the
iungles of Africa next April and
say, Here, l have done it; now
help me. / have risked my life for
year to find solution to your
Negro problem. 1 have organized
friendly federation of tribes in
the most fertile country of Africa
1 have prepared a place for the
Negro. where each can have a hun
dred and sixty acres of land. This
is not the pestilential coast of LII
IBERIA, but the very heart of Afri-
ca. The colonizing of this country
will also prevent the expansion or
our commercial enemy, Germany
And then, exerting all his influ-
ence. he will ram through legisla-
ton and strike while the iron is
hot. He plans, if necessary or pos
sible. to have the individual states
issue bonds to finance his migra
tion and expatrition' proposition, in
proportion to the Negro population
in each, supplemented by a bond
guarantee by the federal govern
ment. AS a last resort he relies
on the attitude of the South to
raise the money, if necessary, by
popular subscription, feeling sure
every county and locality through
out the South will open subscrip-
tion lists and that the money will
pour forth in abundance.
"There is one more problem, and
Roosevelt seems to think he can
solve this also. And that is the
necessity of being able to persuade
the Negro to migrate. State legis-
lation Roosevelt knows he can con-
troll if its object is to settle the Ne
gro question; but by offering the
Negroes peace and safety, freedom
from conditions that are now hu-
initiating, by offering each farm
with a bonus with which to make
new start and buy the tools of
husbandry, by acclaiming that he is
the friend of the Negro and al
ways has been, and that his solu-
ton will improve them as race
and as individuals by these
means Roosevelt hopes to overcome
the situation without compulsory
legislation, unless it might be by a
remote time limit of, say twenty
years. If he does not find condl-
tions over there as he expected, as
he has not announced publicly his
plans, he can withdraw gracefully
and no harm has been done; but l
feel sure he will do his utmost to
put the deal through. 1t is the
kind of an undertaking he likes. "
What is Roosevelt really doing
in Africa? Strong evidence is
now being brought to light which
affirms the rumor that he is there
to solve the Negro question. Did
