LOSES VALUABLE RING.
THOMAS GRESHAM OF RICH
MOND COMPLAINS TO POLICE.
Believed That He Was Robbed on
Sleeping Car Going to the
Virginia Capital.

Thomas Gresham, member of the lum-
Der Arm Of Paschall & Gresham, Rich
mond, Va, called at police headquarters
last night to tell of the loss of a dia-
mond ring, valued at $500. 1t is stated in
the police report of the loss that the ring
was lost in this city or it was taken while
its owner was a passenger in a sleeper
between this city and Richmond yester-
day morning.
Mr.. Gresham came here to transact
business with Postmaster General Hitch
cock, who was one of his college mates,
and it was late Monday night when he
was ready to start home. 1t was i'm
possible for him to get away until 4
O'Clock yesterday morning and he spent
several hours before train time with
friends at club.
It was not until he reached Richmond
that he discovered his loss. He told
the Richmond police of the disappear
ance of his diamond and then, returned
to consult the police here. The police
think the ring was probably stolen
from Mr.. Gresham while he was asleep
on the train.
The gold watch, fountain pen, eye
glasses and $14 in cash that were taken
from Charles r. Burnett, assistant
cashier of the First National Bank. of
Richmond, while he was in Pullman
at Union station Sunday have not been
recovered. Mr.. Burnett missed his
property before the train started and
complained to the police.
1t is deemed possible that the crooks
who recently operated on trains north
Of this city and committed several rob-
berries are now operating south of the
city. Railroad detectives are doing
what they can to bring about the ar
rest of the crooks.

COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS
PLANS FOR AFFILIATION
Retail Dealers Association to Confer
With Chamber of Commerce
Thursday Afternoon.

Every effort will be made to bring about
the afiiliation of the new Retail Dealers
Association of the District with the
Washington Chamber of Commerce. At
a meeting of the governing board Of the
new association, held last night in the
Offices Of the Chamber of Commerce, it
was determined that President Stras-
burger and other members of the board
should be sent to discuss the matter of
af1liation with the bosrd of directors of
the chamber Thursday afternoon.
Members of the retailers association
are, many of them, members of the
Chamber of Commerce. They believe that
multiplicity of trade bodies will not
be for the benefit of Washington, and
for that reason desire that the new as
ISOLATION should become an auxiliary body
of the chamber. This was the principal
matter of discussion at the meeting last
night.

ATTACK TAFT
SAY HE SOLD RIGHTS OF RACE
FOR MESS OF POSTUM.
Clergyman Doubts Sincerity of Re-
publican Party's Friendship for
the Black Man.

William Howard Taft has sold out the
rights of the negro for a mess of pos
sum. according to charges made at a
meeting of the Independent League last
night at True Reformers' Hall. Several
colored clergymen were the speakers Of
the occasion and it was averred that Mr..
Taft took trip through the south. feast
ed on possum and then sold out the
rights of the negro.
The hall was crowded and as the
speakers made their points there was
much shaking of heads and many
''amens'' were heard. Near the close Of
the session resolution was adopted call
ing on the negroes throughout the coun-
try to vote against all candidates for
Congress next fall who they find have
not been friendly to the race.
Policy in the South.
The general subject of the meeting was
the administration and its southern
policy. and the appointment of negroes
to high federal places was declared by
Rev. s. /. Corrothers to be only a modest
way of buying them and keeping down
agitation against the republicans. He
said that for more than forty years the
republicans had been talking about be-
ing friends of the negro, and that just
about election time they would go about
telling the black man that if he let the
democrats get in power they would wipe
him off the face of the earth. He stated
that during the last forty years the. demo-
Gratis in the south had been in control
of the negro there and that the repub-
leans had not done one thing to help
the situation.
Announcement also was made that an
agitation would be commenced immedi-
ately against the practice Of denying col
ored people hotel accommodations and
shutting them out of theaters concert
halls. public parks and libraries

PLANS FOR AERO EXHIBIT
IN CITY OF WASHINGTON
Local Scientific Club Hopes to Have
Novices and Inventors to.
Participate.

Tentative plans were formulated at a
meeting of the Aero Scientific Club at
the Y. NJ. c. A. building last night for
an aero exhibit in Washington this fall
under the auspices Of the newly formed
Aeronautic Federation. This organization,
it will be recollected. was formed in New
York June % as the result of a split be-
tween the members and those of the Aero
Club of America and some of its AFFILIATED
clubs
1t is planned, If the meeting can be
held here, to make it largely an affair
of novices and inventors.
Attractive to Inventors.
The officers of the Aero Scientific Club
do not think they are likely to get Cur
tiss, Hamilton and the Wrights to par
ticipate but they want to have a meet
that will be an attraction to inventors
and to such aviators as have not yet
made a national reputation.
1t was suggested last night that Balti-
more would be willing to make it an
intercity meet and would bear half the
expense. Col. Jerome H. Joyce, presi-
dent of the Baltimore Aero Club, said
he could speak for the willingness of his
city to take care of its part.
