LENGTHY. INTERVIEW
ON EMIGRATION.

In an article covering two columns
and embellished with his portrait, the
Pueblo Chieftain, the leading paper
of the southern part of the state, on
last Sunday gave space to an inter
view from J. n. Walker. who is presi-
dent of the Colorado African Colo
niZation Company. The progress OF
the negotiations which finally result
ed in the land grant to the company
from the Llberian government, have
been detailed in this paper from time
to time. Mr.. Walker reviewed the
negotiations and at the same time
presented his views as to the solu-
ton and at the same time presented
his views as to the solution of the
race problem. In conclusion Mr..
Walker said:
In accordance with the suggestion
made by President Arthur Barclay,
as soon as the necessary funds can
be obtained. commission will go to
Liberia and select the lands, and up
on its return. active preparations will
be made to establish parties OF col
onists.
"A widespread interest has been
created throughout the country. and
The Colorado-African Colonization
company is receiving applications for
membership and much inquiry regard
ing its future plans. 1t is supplying
literature and taking active measures
to induce congress to further promote
the interests of Liberia. In this con
nection, the officers of the company
hope to be in position within short
time to present petition signed by
members of the black race in every
state, that will hasten the establish
ment of the research station, as it is
believed that through it the colonies
will be greatly benefited and become
more successful

most serious accident befell j. d.
Simms Saturday evening while he
was on his way home. AT Twentieth
and Ogden streets an automobile ran
into him. knocked him from his wheel,
broke three ribs, collar bone and
bruised him generally. One of the
broken ribs perforated his lung and
while in the last two days there has
been improvement in his condition, in
the beginning his case was so hope
less that the physicians and nurse in
charge still fear that death may en-
sue. Should no complications such as
pneumonia occur, he will recover. He
was picked up by the driver of the
automobile and taken to his home at
1920 Twentieth avenue. The blow to
Mrs. Simms was a great one, but she
bore up like brave little woman. do
ing all that devotion and good sense
could do to have the life of her hus-
band. The accident could hardly have
happened to a better man and is
therefore the more unfortunate. Mr..
Simms is employed in the Brown ho-
tel and is so well thought of that flow
ers and offers of financial aid are
showered upon him. Up to this time
he is not permitted to talk and the de-
tails of his injury are not known.

ABOUT MADAM HACKLEY

Mrs. ella May Smith. white
woman. critic for the Columbus, Ohio
Dispatch, says of Madam Hackley:
Bethany Baptist church presented
Madame f. Azalia Hackley. soprano.
in a concert Thursday evening, in
Market hall. She is undoubtedly the
most cultivated musician of her race
in America. She is a woman of good
height, commanding presence. not
nearly as dark in complexion as Ma
dame Gerville Reache, and musi-
clan to her finger tips. She played
all her own accompaniments pre-.
faced her songs with pleasing descrip.
tions, and gave series of exceeding
ly interesting demonstrations. Ma
dame Hackley has many enviable pos.
sessions quite aside from her splen.
did musical gifts which include an
attractive and graceful stage pres
ence, a very pleasant speaking voice,
intensely magnetic temperament, and
strong sense OF humor. These re.
markable qualities fit her admirably
illustrator of methods.
The concert was In every way
worthy of the highest praise and 1t Is
matter OF regret that all Columbus
music lovers might not have the pri-
vilege of hearing Madame Hackley,
who undoubtedly Ia the first Of her
people to make her way by sheer
merit to the rank of the best vocal
artiRts.
Such praise goes far to prove that
merit 10 colorless. and is encourage
ment OF the strongest kind.

UNUSUAL BRUTALITY.

A most unusual case of brutality
and race hatred came to pass Satur-
day afternoon T. Bailey, who lives at
80 WeltOn street, an employe of the
Pullman company, while riding past
Twenty-secon and Stout street, was
accosted by one of four white men
and asked for a match. Not having
one and attempting to continue on
his way on his wheel. they jointly as
saulted him and showered kicks upon
him until be was past resistance.
Neighbors looked on and offered no
assistance. Ii is even said that two
colored men witnessed the whole oc-
currence without remonstrance or
help. Mr.. Bailey suffered no broken
bones. but was so badly bruised that
he has been confined home all week.

CURTIS GUESSED WRONG.
Protests Against w. T. Vernon as
Indian School Official.
The New States Delegation Asks Mr..
Taft to Keep the Negro Out of
Their Constituencies-Had
Been Assigned There.

Washington, June o President
Taft has provoked the race issue in
Oklahoma by appointing William I.
Vernon, a Kansas Negro. formerly
register at the treasury, assistant SUI
pervisor of Indian schools. with as
signment to work in the Indian school
districts of the Five Civilized Tribes.
Resentment over Nernon's appoint
ment took expression today in the
form of vigorous protests which
poured in upon members of the Okla
homa delegation in congress. Repre-
sentative Mcclure and Representative
Morgan. Republicans, and Senator
Gore, Democrats. said they would file
the protests they had received with
Mr.. Taft with a request that Vernon
be transferred to some other state on
the grounds that his presence in Ok
lahoma as an Indian school supervis-
or is Objectionable to the people.
At curtis's Suggestion.
Vernon was appointed upon the in
dorsement OF Senator Curtis of Kan
sas He was displaced as register
about a year ago and since then his
friends in Kansas have been urging
him for some other place in the gov
ernment service. Senator Curtis be-
lieved he had landed for him the ap-
point nent OF minister- to Haiti, but
opposition from Negro leaders, head
ed. il is said. by Booker T. Washing
ton. interfered and Vernon lost.
A few days ago President Taft ap-
pointed Vernon assistant supervisor
of Indian schools at a salary of 81 500
year and expenses. The announce
ment that he would direct the educa-
tional work among the Oklahoma In
dians Immediately started trouble.
The objection to Vernon is due en-
tirely to misunderstanding. Senator
Curtis said. He has not been as
signed to a permanent place in Okla
homa. His duty is TO visit Indian
schools in every section of the coun-
try His first assignment happened to
be Oklahoma. | suppose the commits
sioner of Indian affairs decided to
break him in there He is exception
ally qualified for educational work.
and there is no reason for objection
to his appointment"

The Rio Grande has maintained for
years a most complete service OF
through sleepers between Chicago. St,
Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
This will be greatly augmented by the
establishment of the new. sleeping car
lines in connection with the Western
Pacific.
The opening of the Western Pacific
(Pacific coast extension of the Den
yer and Rio Grande) has in no way
changed the relations OF the Rio
Grande with the Southern Pacific and
