and friends to be coupled without war
rant or license with the names Of men,
in public print. As long as Dorothy
Dare inflicted upon readers its-and
we put Dorothy in the neuter gender,
silly babblings, the public stood it un-
complainingly, though it was awfully
tiresome, but the mothers, fathers, and
brothers of Washington young women
will not stand for their daughters and
sisters names being coupled, in public
prints, with the names Of Tom, Dick
and Harry. The Bee is voicing the
! sentiment of all decent people, and
especially the young women who feel
they have been outraged. 1t IS said
one father was so stirred up that il
required all kinds of pleadings to pre-
vent his going to the office TO give
the editors a cowhiding.

Dorothy Dare's Letter.

The Dorothy Dare letter, published
in a certain alleged newspaper nearly
always is about the sicklest, silliest
conglomeratiOn of nonsense ever
palmed off on an unsuspecting public.
But the letter last week went beyond
the sickly, silly point and became
positively offensive Never before has
any Washington newspaper, claiming
character and decency, had the au-
daCity TO couple the names of single
ladies with gentlemen IN the manner
they were coupled in last week 5
alleged Dorothy Dare's letter That
there was great Indignation expressed
by all the ladies who heard of it is
putting the case mildly They fairly
stormed over the outrage on decency
and propriety, and some have dis
cussed bringing the matter before the
authorities in order to prevent repe-
titiOn of the Offense The Bee has
heard nothing but condemnation of it.
The character, standing and presumed
modesty of young women IS obviously
too dear to them, and their families

REV. S. n. BROWN.

The BEE voices the sentiment OF
the alumni of Howard University
and throughout the country when
it says that Dr. Sterling n. Brown
is entitled to the professorship in
the theological department made
vacant by the death of Rev. John
L. Ewell. DR.. Brown has not only
the endorsement fevery educator,
teacher and laymen in the United
States, but there is not a dissent
ing voice against him.
Dr.. Thirkield can and ought to
see that this promotion bemade as
it will bring to the University
strong and influential friends. The
University cannot afford to lose
such valuable man as DR.. Brown.
His services should be recognized
and the people will watch this ap-
pointment with a jealous eye. Any
other appointment will add de-
struction to the University.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
JUDGE r. IL. TERRELL


1t IS so strange that some col
Ored people dislike to see their
own successful in life. The mo-
ment one elevates himself there
are hundreds to pull him down.
The white cannot help being sur
prised. The case in question is
that of Judge Robert II. Terrell,
of the Municipal Court. To-day
the Executive Committee of the
Trustee Board of Howard Uni
versity, will meet for the purpose
Of considering the appointment
of Judge Robert II. Terrell as a
member of the faculty of the law
department of Howard Univer-
sity. Judge Terrell's opponents
are a few cOl0red men, as usual,
who are failures themselves and
dislike to see others succeed.
There is not a white man on the
board who opposes Judge Terrell,
and those who are opposed to him
The Bee will, in its next issue, tell
its readers, who they are, and
compare their record with that of
Judge Terrell. As a Municipal
Judge, his record stands above re-
proach. He is respected by the
entire bar, irrespective of color.
The Judges of the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia have
the highest regard for him. His
associates speak of Judge Terrell
in the highest terms. But Mr.
COlored Man is opposed to him
because he does succeed, in spite
of his abuses and failures. The
reasons that are given will not
compare with the record of the
opposition, and when The Bee
publishes their names the people
will say, "Where do they get their
nerve!" The appointment of
Judge Terrell as a member of the
law faculty of Howard Univer-
sity will add to the law depart
ment. Strong men are needed in
this department, and there Is
every reason to believe that the
President of Howard University
will add greatly to the law de-
partment. There Is not a cOlOred
member of the bar who doesn't
respect Judge Terrell. His judg-
ment is good and his decisions
equitable. He knows no man by
the color of his skin or the curl
of his hair. The Bee is confident
that the law alumni of Howard
University Will indorse the selec-
ton, because he will teach the law
as it IS practiced in our courts
to-day. The Bee voices the senti-
ment of the true friends of How
ard University.

OLD BLUE GOOSE Is :.
TO AGAIN REOPEN
Low Negro Dive, Scene of RObberies,
Is Issued a License by
City.

Mayor McCaskrin has issued another
license to G. H. Marshall, proprietor
of the old Blue Goose saloon on First
Avenue, and the dive will soon be in
operation again. 1t will be remembered
that the mayor revoked the license of
the place sometime ago following the
rolling" of two Davenporters who
were inveigled into the place by pair
Of the dusky women who make the
place their headquarters. A license
had been granted to the joint but a
short time before this took place and
it was necessary to pay another $3.50
to get another license, but this sum
was paid in today to the city clerk
and the license was handed out.
The mayor has made no explana.
ton as to why he renewed the license
of the place in the face of the knowl-
edge that it is the hangout for the
lowest class of negroes who live in the
three cities.

SMALL ARMS SHOPS
CLOSED; NO POWER
Water Rising in Sylvan Slough In.
terferes-Other Departments
Running.

The small arms department at the
Rock Island arsenal had to be closed
down today because of lack of power
with which to run the machinery, The
men had worked only an hour before
a notice was posted in the small arms
department announcing that it would
be closed again indefinitely. The ice
has choked up in the islands some
where between here and Muscatine
and this has caused the water to rise
and back up and cut off the power at
the Sylvan power house. Enough
power is being generated to, run the
remainder of the shops, but If the rise
continues they, too, may be forced to
suspend. The small arms department
consists of three different factories and
several hundred men are employed
there.

Yesterday afternoon they reported to
Judge Graves that they were unable
to agree and the judge sent them back
into session with the admonition
that they were expected to hand in a
verdict They remained out three
hours longer and then the judge took
pity on them and sent for them. He
questioned them as to their verdict
and. the foreman informed him That
they had not arrived at one whereupon
they repeated that they could not
agree Believing it a hopeless case,
the Judge dismissed them
No Reason Given.
Just what the disagreement was
about did not come out in the report
of the jury. Mrs. Elizabeth Hardin
(colored) had sued the city of Moline
for the sum of $4,000 for injuries al
legged to have been received in a fall
on a faulty sidewalk. The attorneys
felt sure of getting a verdict for tho
plaintiff, and they were somewhat
surprised at the disagreement. 1t is
limited that the color line was drawn
pretty closely by the jurors who heard
the case and that this was IN part the
reason why no verdict was arrived at

NEW PLUMBING LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED
Inspector RosenfieId Issues Notice 20
Tradesmen of the City That
They Must BE Registered.

Plumbing Inspector Thomas Rosen-
field has issued notices to the plum
bers of the city telling them of a new
plumbing law which went into effect
last June The state plumbing In
spector informed Mr.. Rosenfield last
month concerning the new law and it
will be enforced here at once. It's OBJ
ject is to effect a better registration
of the men who are licensed to work
as plumbers. Their certificates must
be renewed each year under the new
law. The master plumbers will have
to pay a fee of $40 for a renewal Of
license, journeymen plumbers will have
to pay 81 and master plumbers who
are taking out their certificate for the
first time will have to pay $50.
The record of the certificates which
are issued under the new law will ena-
bic a close tab to be kept on the
plumbers and the practice OF going 20
a strange city and doing plumbing
without ever having taken out a Ger
tificate will be stopped.

SHOULD IGNORE
PAVING PROTEST
Property Holders by Big Ma
: jority Want Business Streets
Improved.
DUTY OF COUNCIL PLAIN
City Will Never Advance If 1t Sub.
mits to Such Opposition as Is
Now Appearing.

1t strikes the average citizen who
wants to see the community go ahead
in the matter of public improvements
that the Rock Island council would
err seriously in judgment were it 20
submit to the request of a few holders
of property along Third avenue to up
lset the paving program as has been
outlined by the board OF public i'm
Iprovements, the manifest intent of
which is to defeat the plan to bring
the thoroughfares of the business dis
stTict up to somewhere near the stand
ard maintained by other localities Of
equal size.
Rock Island never has. nor will it
ever, advance with the approval Of
are seeking to now obstruCt the most
important Improvement that has been
proposed In years.
Alderznanic Action Surprise.
1 There has been surprise expressed
on all sides at the action Of several
members Of the council at the Monday
evening meeting in lending their vote
TO the effort to stifle progress. There
10 no denying that the assessments in
cident To this Improvement would be
Eburdensoane to number of the own
erS OF frontage There has never been
a time IN this city or in any other
when street was paved that some one
'wes not made to shoulder an obligation
that at the beginning 1t was feared
would be more than could be borne
and would result practically in conf1s-
cation Of property, but The Argus has
not yet heard OF case where property
was sold TO meet q paving assessment.
Mig Majority for II.
The owners of frontage On second
and Third avenues and or Twentieth
street have, by an overwhelming ma
5or1ty. said that they want the paving.
Many OF those who have acquiesced Sn
the plan are not as we'll situated to
who are championing the fight against
the Improvement.
The cry that the city Is not f1nan-
cially able to carry the assessment
for the paving in front of its property
on THIRD avenue is childish and should
not be taken seriously by the people
at large. The city is not supposed to
stand out against public movements
that It starts itself.
The ordinance for the asphalting of
the thoroughfares in the business dis
trict referred to has gone back to the
board Of public improvements with a
request that two ordinances be report
ed, one for Third avenue from Fiji
teenth to Twenty-fourth streets, and
the other for Second avenue from
Fifteenth to Twentieth streets and
Twentieth street from Second to
Fourth avenue The board of public

does not realize what the consequences
of letting il lie on tn roof till 1t thaws

DISMISSES SUIT
OF MISS LENDER
No Evidence to Support Her
Claim Against Royal Neigh
Dor Officers.
MOTION BY HER ATTORNEY
Case Had Twice Been Set for Trial
in Municipal Court in
Chicago.

On motion of the plaintiffs attorney,
the suit to recover $500 from Mrs. Lima
NJ. Collins and Miss Myrtle E. Dade,
supreme officers of the Royal Neigh
bors, was dismissed yesterday after
noon in Chicago. Miss Olive Lender,
a newspaper woman, sued the defend
ants for the above named sum, charg-
ing them with having promised her
$500 for her services as their press
agent in the recent campaign for the
supreme Offices. The suit was started
in the court of Judge Foster in Chi
cago and it was set for trial in the
early part of December, but at that
time a continuance asked for by the
plaintiff was granted and the case was
set again for last Monday morning.
Miss Dade and Mrs. Collins went 10
Chicago to be present at the trial and
to fight the charges against them.
Stm More Delay.
The plaintiff was not yet ready for
the case to come to trial, however,
and her attorney asked for a continu-
ance. Accordingly the case was set for
2 o'clock in the afternoon, but once
more the plaintiff asked for continu-
ance and once more 1t was granted.
Tuesday afternoon the principals gath
cred together once more in the court
and again a request was made for a
continuance, but this time the judge
frowned upon it and said no. After a
short examination of the principal wit
nesses, including Miss Lender herself,
Mrs. Collins and DR.. Hada NJ. Burk-
hart, the judge decided there was no
real grounds for complaint, and on mo-
ton of Miss Lenders attorney the case
was dismissed.
