EDWARD DOUGLAS WHITE
FORMALLY TAKES UP HIS
Chief JUSTICE DUTIES
Continued From Page One.

cies the only utterance of new chief
justice is the solemn words of his
oath of Office.
The dignity resting in the customs
founded on the swearing into office
of John Jay, John Rutledge. oliver
Ellsworth and John Marshall, and per-
fected in the days of Roger b. fancy,
Salmon p. Chase, Morrison r, Waite
and Melville w. Fuller was not mater
tally disturbed today by radical inno-
vations.
The ceremonies of elevating an as
sociate justice of the court into the
chief justiceship of the nation began
in the secret confines of the courts
robing room. 1t is here that the oath
of allegiance is administered, Just be-
fore the court takes it's place on the
bench. The oath prepared for today's
occasion, followed the form prescribed
by law. It read:
81, Edward Douglas White, do SOL
EMMY swear that / will support and
defend the constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that / win bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; that
I take this obligation freely, without
mental reservation or purpose of eva
sion, and that / will well and faith
fully discharge the duties of the office
on which I am about to enter So
help me God"
1t was a similar oath of allegiance
that created such tempest In the
court, back in reconstruction days
Hence unusual interest was centered
in It's administration today to the
first chief justice who had borne arms
in the cause of the Confederacy by the
senior associate justice OF the court
Justice Harland, who had borne arms
at the same time in the cause of the
nation.
Doubt had existed before the cere-
monies as to whether the new chief
justice would halt at the clerks desk
in the court room to take the oath
there as most of the men who have
occupied positions on the bench have
done, or whether, he would assume
his usual place on the bench and take
the oath there as Chief Justice Chase
did. There was doubt also as to
whether he would hold in his hand the
historic Bible that practically all the
chief justices and associates have used
I'M this ceremony or whether he would
follow the custom Of Chief Justice
Chase in taking the oath on a Bible
provided for the occasion.
The oath which the new chief JUS
tice subscribed to in open court is
known as the judicial oath as dis
tinguished from the oath of allegiance.
1t read:
II, Edward Douglas White, do SOL
EMMY swear that / will administer
Justice without respect to persons, and
do equal right to the poor and to the
rich, and that I will faithfully and
impartially discharge and perform all
the duties incumbent on me as chief
Justice of the United States according
to the best of my abilities and under
standing, agreeably to the constitu-
ton and laws Of the United States.
So help me Cod"

termine to Do the Work
Itself.

WASHINGTON, August l.-John T.
Q Rourke, president Of the o 'Rourke
Construction Company, of New York,
was a visitor at the war department
today, where he had a conference with
General Oliver, acting secretary of war,
IN regard to raising the Maine, now
lying in Havana Harbor.
Mr. Rourke proposes to raise the
famous battleship by means Of a float
ing wharf, to be constructed around
the wreck. He would try to lift her
by using caissons.
Nothing has been decided by the war
department as to Mr. 0 Rourke : plan
or the plans of several other contrae-
tors submitted to the department. Con
gress appropriated 100000 at its last
session, to be used in connection with
the raising of the Maine and the in
vestigations to he made to find the
best method Of raising her.
Discretion is placed in the hands Of
the war department as to how the
100000 is to be spent. and because
of the fact that. it is not necessary

tised for the work of raising the yes

FIRST UNIVERSAL
RACE CONGRESS
Important Event TO Occur In
London In July, 1911.
4 GREAT OPEN PARLIAMENT.
BY N. BARNETT DoDsoN.

Perhaps the greatest event Of the
twentieth century, so far as the colored
races are concerned, will be the first

don, England, July 1920, 1911.
The president Of the congress is the
Right Hon. Lord Weardale, the chair
man Of the general committee is Pro.
fessor Felix Adler of New York and
the general secretary Gustav Spiller Of
London, who has been visiting the
United States.
As Mr.. Spiller said, "The object of
the congress is to discuss in the light
Of modern knowledge and the modern
conscience the general relations sub
sisting between the peoples of the west
and those Of the east, between so called
white and so called colored peoples,
with view to encouraging between
them fuller understanding, the most
friendly feelings and a heartier CO.
operation"
Judging from the reactionary tone in
America, one would expect that such
congress would receive scant well
come In the world, but this is not So
The congress has received hearty sup
port from hundreds of influential men.
Among those who are backing the prof.
ect are many members of the perma-
nent court Of arbitration, a majority Of
the delegates to the second Hague con-
ference, twelve British governors, eight

dltions OF racial progress.
These sessions will be continued

Egypt and Haiti. Then there will
come series Of papers on the peace

Charles Dixie will speak for forced la

America. Dir. Eastman on the Amer

NEGRO kNIFER Is CONVICTED.
Jury Finds John Jones Guilty Of Man

Jury Finds John Jones Guilty Of Man.
slaughter.
h After being out for an hour and a
half, the jury in the case of jain
Jones, negro, on trial for the killing
of Roy Jeffries, also negro, 55 Hol-
den street, on the night of Sept. Is
in pool room at 725 Washington
avenue south, returned a verdict of
guilty of manslaughter in the first
degree.
The crime was committed during a
quarrel. Jeffries, his brother and an.
other man entered the pool room and
were using profane language, not no.
ticing the presence of woman who
had accompanied Jones into the place.
Jones took umbrage at the remarks
and a fight resulted, during which
Jones stabbed his adversary in the
groin. Jeffries died shortly afterward
at the City hospital from loss of
blood.
The punishment for manslaughter
in the first degree is from five to 20
years in the state penitentiary. Sem
tence will be pronounced by Judge
Holt, before whom the case was tried,
within day or two.
Taking into consideration the des-
perate character of the defendant, the
weapon used, the fact that nearly all
the witnesses testified that he had his
weapon ready for use and threatened
to use it, before the affray; the fact
of his subsequent flight, and resist.
ance to the officers, and their testi-
mony against him, Jones has the right
to be thankful for the able and earnest
efforts put forth by his counsel to save
his neck, as he was indicted for MUIR
der in the first degree, and the Court
charged for murder in the first and
second degrees, and for manslaughter
in both degrees, and acquittal.
Attorneys Geo. H. Jackson and
VIM. H. H. Franklin appeared for
Jones.

Many Of the most important and in.
tricate assignments fall to the hands
of the assistants, and in the course OF
their work they are frequently brought
into contact with senators, members
of congress and barristers of promi.
nence who have business with the de.
partment Of justice.
1t will thus be seen that the pro-
posed appointment is one of the utmost
responsibility and far out of the ordi-
nary run of positions usually accorded
to our race. 1t is expected that the
name of Mr. Lewis will be sent to the
senate shortly after the opening of
the congressional session in December
The president is being warmly con-
graduated upon all sides by the color
ed press and public for his generosity
in giving the race such honorable rec
ognition, and there is no doubt that
his hold upon the respect and conf
dence of the rank and file of the col
ored people of the country has been
greatly strengthened.
The competency of Mr.. Lewis is con-
ceded by the most eminent lights at
the American bar. Polished in man.
ner, eloquent of voice and chaste In
language, he has few peers as plead
er, and in the preparation of cases his
is a master hand. He possesses charac-
ter and force of the most positive or
der. with magnetic poise and dignity,
vel Is modest and unassuming in his
daily intercourse.
Mr.. Lewis combines the elements
that make for efficiency Of the lasting
kind and in the wider field promised
him will add new laurels to his brow.
1t is expected that his nomination will
be speedily confirmed by the senate.
Mr.. Lewis is at present superintend-
ent Of the naturalization bureau In
Boston, having been promoted from
the post Of second assistant United
States district attorney upon the resig-
nation Of John Casey, Esq. In both
offices he made an enviable record.
He was appointed assistant district
attorney by ex-President Roosevelt in
1903, and some of the most difficult
cases known to the department have
been ably disposed of by him. In
one significant instance he received
the thanks of Chief j. e. Wilkie of
the United States secret service for
superior skill in conducting a case
especial Importance in which this
nch of the government was deeply
crested.
Mr.. Lewis is a native Of Berkeley,
Va, where he was born in 1868. His
father was a minister Of prominence,
but not of large salary, and young
Lewis was compelled to look out for
himself in the matter of securing an
education such as he desired. He
worked his way as waiter to earn
his college expenses after finishing
the common school branches in and
about Portsmouth, Va.
