JUDGE DANIEL THEW
WRIGHT.

The rumOr is that Judge Dan
iel Thew Wright will be appoint
ed on the bench of the United
States Supreme Court. If such
is a fact. The Bee doesn't know
of a jurist more deserving or
moro qaaii.fniea for the position
than this fearless and distinguish
ed member of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia,
Judge Wright is more on the or
der of an English Judge than any
one we know. He has demon
strated his ability as a judge III
more ways than one since he has
been upon the bench of the Su-
preme Court of the District OF
Columbia. He has a heart that
is Sympathetic, and 4 mind that Is
as broad as the sea. He knows
no man by the color of his skin
He knows no corporation, no mat
ter how large or great 1t IS, If II
commits a wrong, and neither
does he hesitate to punish those
who represent great institutions
that operate in restraint of trade
He can be depended on to do his
duty as he sees it. The President
therefore, could not appoint bet
ter OF a safer man to eXpOund the
laws of the United States anC
protect the rights of the people
Can a better man be found! He
is entitled to the promotion, anC
1t is hoped that President Taf
will not hesitate to appoint him.
The American people, IRE
spective of religious creed or ma
tionality, would hail with one ac
claim the appointment of Judgt
Daniel Thew Wright. No man i
any more considerate than he, anC
under all circumstances and con
ditions he will give a defendan
| the benefit of all doubt.

THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL

The proprietor of the Bruins
wick Hotel, Mr.. Andrew w.
Sears, was arrested and his hotel
raided by the officers of the Sixth
Precinct Station some time ago.
and the case went from the Police
Court to the Grand Jury, and
then to Criminal Court No. l,
where Mr.. Sears was tried by a
jury, Justice Daniel Thew Wright
presiding.
The Brunswick Hotel is at 220
B street northwest, and its pro-
prietor is Mr.. Andrew W. Sears.
a man OF good reputation, as was
fully demonstrated at the trial on
last Monday. There are several
white hotels in this precinct, but
not one has been raided, charged
with being a disOrderly house.
The Brunswick Hotel is for the
benefit of cOlOred Americans, and
so far as Mr.. Sears is concerned,
he will permit no one to enter his
hotel for immoral purposes. Since
the house has been in his charge
and under his supervision, Mr..
Sears has made every effort to
carry on a legitimate business.
What proprietor of a hotel in
this city, the Willard, the Airing
ton, the Raleigh, the National,
St. James, or any other hotel, can
swear, if a man and woman pre-
sents themselves as husband and
wife, that they are not really
married? How many thousands
of couples present themselves to
many of the above hotels who are
not married, and without the
knowledge of the proprietors or
managers. These hotels are not
raided. Why are the cOlored hO-
tells made the victims of police
raids? The jury in Criminal
Court No. 1 acquitted Mr.. Sears,
The evidence, by the verdict of
the jury last Monday, didn't war
rant a conviction. The evidence
also showed that some of the very
best colored citizens visit the
Brunswick Hotel. Some of the
best citizens testified to the good
reputation and character of Mr.
Sears. COlOred hotels in this city
don't allow any more privileges
to patrons than white hotels. Col.
Ored hotels very seldom, if ever
have hOmicides committed by
wives and husbands of other mel
and women. The cOlOred hotels
are not the resting places fol-
thieves and thugs or sO-calleC
wealthy gentlemen who turn on
to be professional thieves anC
swindlers. The Brunswick Hote
never permits such characters t.
light. The police department
should call halt to these pro
miScuOus raids. 1t IS not neceS
sary to raid a Legitimate Licensed
hotel without a Just cause.
The Brunswick Hotel Is nov
open for business as before, and
is hoped that the Sixth Precinc
will be a little more careful Il
the future and try some of tn
hotels that are doing business o.
a larger scale than the Brunswick
at 900 B street northwest. TIL
friends of Mr.. Sears are highl,
elated and gratifed over the out
come of his arrest and unanimou
acquittal by a jury of twelv
American citizens, and they as
sure him that they will in the fu
ture as they have in the past, Civ
him their patronage and support
If we are to judge the characte
of the Brunswick Hotel by tn
persons who visit there, then Th

AS HONOR TO RACE.

President May Appoint Colored Man
to High Position in Justice Depart
ment-William H. Lewis, of Mas
sachusetts, for Assistant Attorney
General-Now Assistant at Boston.
Said to be a Capable Lawyer and
Has Record as College Athlete.
President Taft and Attorney Gener-
al WiCkersham are said to have
agreed upon a most important ap-
pointment for the Negro race, in pur-
suance of policy that is being work
ed out as broad recognition of that
race in Federal appointments as pos
sible.
The man who is to secure the high
est honor ever given to the Negro
race in Federal appointments IS Will
lam H. Lewis, who is now assistant
United States attorney at Boston. Ii
the program goes through, as now ar
ranged, Lewis IS to be appointed
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States to fill one of the va
cancies existing in the Department oi
Justice.
Lewis has been assistant attorney
at Boston for eight or ten years, and
has an admirable record as a lawyer
and legal representative of the gov
ernment. He is a graduate of both
Amherst and Harvard colleges. Al
Amherst he was the captain of the
football team, and at Harvard he was
the most noted center rush that in
stitutiOn ever knew.
As Assistant Attorney General ot
the United States it will be necessary
to assign him to some of the most
important legal work of the govern
ment, and he will come in frequent
contact with Senators, Representatives
and others having business with the
Department.

RECRUITS LOOK
Good TO TICHE
Pitchers Are Warming Up to
Work in Great Shape and
Showing True to Form.
CAVET HAS EVERYTHING
But in This Respect He Is Apparently
No Better Than the Others. All
of Whom Are Promising Men.

To say Manager Jack Tighe is we'll
showing up in practice is putting it
mildly He is delighted with some
of the men and thoroughly satisfied
with the rest. All the seven pitchers
who are on the job are rapidly round
ing into shape so that they can use
their speed and curves without run
ming the risk of hurting their arms.
and if the present brand of weather
continues every man ought to be at
his best before the middle of next
month. The attention of the fans
who are watching the workouts each
afternoon is at once drawn to Pitch
ers Cavet, Cominger and Wagner,
but the others receive their full share
of the praise also. Cavet has speed
and curves to burn and is able to
whistle the ball over the plate in a
marvellous manner. The same thing
can be said for Cominger who, how
ever, has not let himself out as yet.
Wagner handles himself in great
style just as though he were a big
Lacquer. Pickering, Blenner Janicki
and Lakaff are all showing true to
the form expected, and the race for
places on the Islander pitching staff
is sure to be most interesting.
Big Bill Hits Ball.
Bill Jacobsen is attracting more
attention these days than any other
two men. Big Bill is performing in
wonderful fashion every day Dur
ing batting practice yesterday he
drove the ball over the back fence
twice in the course of a few minutes
and numerous times it was sent out
to the fence on line. Tighe grins
from ear to ear and says Bill is the
real goods, and if he doesn't develop
INFO a big Lacquer in short order, 1
miss my guess" The Islander man
ager has Jacobsen playing at first
base in practice and he performs so
well there that the other recruits for
that position will have to show some
wonderful ability to beat him out of
the job in case Tighe sees fit to keep
him working on first.
only One Arrives Today.
'Infelder c. A. Todd of Billings,
Mont. was the only Islander recruit to
arrive today, although several are ex-
pected in this evening. Todd is first
sacker who played in semi-professional
ball last year.
Just what is keeping Grover Eng
man and Walter Queisser, pitchers,
from reporting is a mystery to Mana
ger Tighe. He expected both of them
in yesterday and was greatly surprised
when they failed to report today. He
has not heard from them lately, but he
still believes they will show up. Both
are valuable men who have excellent
chances of making the team if they
come.

.zBYSzKO EARNS
BIG MAT CHANCE
Pole Proves Master of Nah
mout, the Turk, and Will
Meet Frank Gotch.
STRAIGHT FALLS GO TO HIM
Plays Waiting Game, Allowing An
tagonist to Tire Himself Out
Before Starting in.

Chicago, March 30. = Stanislaus
Zbyszko of Poland won the privilege
of meeting Frank Gotch for the wrest-
ling championship of the world by de-
feating Yusif Mahmout of Turkey in
two straight falls at the Coliseum last
night. The first fall was a crotch hold
and half nelson in 1:04:5 81, and the sec
ond was a back arm and half nelson in
25:43
The Turk was the aggressor through
out, Zbyszko playing a waiting game,
merely jumping in when he saw good
opening. Probably the Pole was not
on top more than a dozen times in
one and one-half hours of wrestling.
The date and place of the meeting
between Gotch and Zbyszko is to be
decided later, nothing but verbal
agreement for the match having been
entered into.
Pole Down First.
Both wrestlers went into the ring
proclaiming themselves "in the pink
of condition" and each looked the part.
For the first few minutes the men kept
on their feet, feeling their way appar-
emily before trying for fall. Zbyszko
was the first to hit the mat, the Turk
lifting one of his opponents feet and
then kicking the other out from under
him. Both were up without delay and
the Turk again downed the Pole. Then
came the steady grind of waiting for
an opening
At the end of half hour of work,
marked by occasional outbursts of tenn
per on the part of both wrestlers, the
spectators felt that things were about
where they started and settled down
for the marathon, which had been pre-
dicted Mahmout was the aggressor
for about % of the 80 minutes, but
could do nothing with the powerful
Poles strength. Zbyszko appeared able
to break holds almost at will and spent
most of his time in an apparent effort
to wear out the mat artist from Tur-
key.
Toe Hold Fails.
Only once was the toe hold brought
into play up to this time, the Turk pull
ing it, but without effect After 40
JHe IduS DIT
Zbyszko to ego to work and quit STALL
ing" but the Pole was playing his own
game.
The lapse of time was the only thing
to mark the difference between the 30
minute and one-hour periods. Occa-
sionally ZbysZko would condescend to
force matters, but for the greater part
the Turk earned the money paid by the
fans to look on. The Poles efforts at
the toe hold furnished a comedy for
Gotch, as Zbyszko showed by his trials
how ignorant he is regarding the IA
nous clutch.
The Pole showed the class of his
judgment when he won the first fall
from Mahmout by rolling him over
with an ordinary wing lock. ending in
a crotch hold and half nelson, in
/ 04:51. The crowd went wild and
the contestants were half carried from
the ring, tired out from their efforts.
The second bout went along on the
same lines as the first, the Turk doing
the heavy work. Several times he fail
ed to get away with anything because
of Zbyszko's strength. AS on the first
fall, the Pole jumped in when the OPP
portunity offered, caught a back bar
and half nelson and had two points to
the mat when the timers watch hit
25:43.

HOW PEARLSCROW
Will Be One of the Subjects
Studied at the Fairport
Clam Hatchery.
SPECIALIST ON THE GROUND
Proposed to not Only RestOck Rivers,
But to Improve Varieties and
Eliminate Disease.

Another important adjunct has been
added to the biological station at Fair
port. Professor Clark. connected with
the fisheries department of Washing
ton, has arrived at Fairport and will
take up the study of the growth of the
pearl in the fresh water clam. His
work will be an investigation of the
formation of the pearl and the causes
of the growth and other data connect
ed with the gem. His study will be
an interesting one and will go far to-
wards perpetuating the claiming in
dustry in the west. At the present
time but little is known about the
pearl or the habits of the fresh water
clam.
VIII study Diseases.
Another important work will be the
study of the spotted shell and the
cause and effect of certain conditions
on the clam. The spotted shell and
the spotted buttons will be thing of
the past if Mr. Clark can solve the
problem. 1t will be his endeavor to
try to produce a clean white shell of
uniform thickness. Practically speak
ing his work will be in studying the
diseases of the clam-the growth of
the pearl, it now being accepted, be-
ing a disease.
Work on the experiment station at
Fairport is getting along in fine shape.
The laboratory is half completed and
the pumping station is now under roof.
The work on the trenches and clam
beds is taking considerable time. Elev-
en- ponds are now being dug. A
force of ten or twelve carpenters are
busy on the buildings and about
dozen or more are engaged in digging
the trenches.
