BLAIR TARGET FOR
 CROSS EXAMINA ATION

Chicago, October 13.-William o. Blair, former representative, was @ target to- day for a merciless cross fire of interro- saton by members of the committee Of the United States conducting the Lorimer investigation.
 Blair was charged with exhibiting $15O0 in $1OO bills at baseball game in Cen tralia, IL. shortly after the election of Lorimer, and this charge was followed by the frequently repeated question, ''Where did you get it?"
 Witness did not answer the question to the satisfaction of the committee when the hearing was adjourned for the day He will be recalled Saturday.
 Meantime the committee ordered by tell cgraph a complete report of just when and how Blair drew the sum of s2175 as his salary from the state as member of the legislature.
 Blair said in addition to his salary he received money in fees from his legal piactice.
 The committee asked for a detailed ac- count of all such receipts, and also tele- graphed for the courts records of five counties in southern Illinois to get com plete Arecord of Blair's appearance in court from January to July l, 1909.

ID PROBE ABSENCE OF LEGISLATORS
Investigating Committee Considers Wisconsin
 Primary Laws

Milwaukee. October 13.-lntimations were made today at the senatorial inves- tigation of Senator Isaac Stephenson's election that the committee intended to lcok thoroughly into the charges of brib- cry as related to the absence of certain members of the Wisconsin legislature on March 1, 1909 when the senator was elect ed. The charges were made in previous legislative report that Senator Stephen son was elected after a five weeks dead lock. and then only after three democratic assemblymen had absented themselves, thus giving Stephenson a majority.
 The intention of the committee to go Into the subject was shown when Sen ator Heyburn, the chairman, quoted State Senator Domachowski as having said he had been told "it would be worth his while" to remain away from the leg islature. C. c. WellensSard. an assem- blyman, was asked where he had heard Domachowslki make that remark in the assembly. Although the witness replied fe had not, it was indicated that the com mittee intended to probe the subject fur ther through other witnesses. Most of today's session was given over to con- sideration of the Wisconsin primary law.
 When William G. Wheeler testified that under present law individuals rather than political parties had to bear the expense of campaigns and only about 25 per cent of the voters took advantage of the primaries. Senator Hepburn asked: T suppose you mean that fewer people vote now than they did when they were under a republi- can form of government?" Senator Hepburn alluded to primaries as not being republican in form. I mean the people don't seem 10 take interest in a primary, which is merely to select a nominee, as they do at elections when they really are electing somebody. The primary is not fight againsi the op- position party, but only a contest With in one party. Therefore the candidates have to spend so much money to arouse the voters in the interest Of any one condidate.'
 Wheeler estimated it would cost 9149,000- to conduct d senatorial cam paign properly, whereas Senator stephenson spent only s107,793.
 All the witnesses declared they never had heard of any of Senator stephen sons money being used corruptly.

WANT DEEP CHANNEL
 THROUGH THE SOUTH

Chicago, October 13.-Following days enthusiastic session when sentiment of the delegates to the -to-the- Gulf Deep Waterway association convention changed the slogan of the association from "A feet through the valley" and "dig her deep through Dixie'' to a de- mand for deeper channel than fl feet throughout the length of the proposed waterway. interest at tho close of the session shifted to the forthcoming re- port of the resolution committee
 Proposed blanks for the resolution in- clude demand upon Congress to take action at once looking to the deep chan rel. a plea to all state legislatures having jurisdiction over lands bordering the Mis- sissippi river, and call for an appro- priation jointly by Congress and by the legislatures to start work.
 An effort was made to inject a criticism cf President Tafts failure to cause work to be started. Reference to the President caused considerable heated debate during the meeting of the resolution committee tonight, and it is doubtful if the conven- ton will know before the report is read what the resolutions will call for.

been squandered So long as we have the reputation of being race of spend- thrifts, so long will our entire race be kindered in it's progress. I want to urge each one of my hearers to exert his in- fluence in helping our people start bank account. Start a bank account in white bank or in a colored bank; or if this is not desirable, invest money in property. The man who gets start with little money in the bank or in property ceases for the most part to become a criminal, he ceases to throw away his money for whisky and in gambling, and such an individual is very rarely charged with any kind of crime by the public authorities.
 ''I cannot forbear to congratulate the colored people in Birmingham upon the progress that they are making. There are members of my race in Birmingham who by reason of their ownership in property, their intelligence, their high character and business success would do credit to any race, and I congratulate the white people of Birmingham upon the fact that for the most part friendly rela- tions exist between white people and black people in this community. One of our difficulties throughout the south grows out of the fact that the outside world hears of the worst things that take place between colored people and white people in the south; the outside world rarely hears of the friendly relations that exist between black people and white people. Getting down to bed rock, I find that the individual relations between tlack and white people are closer here in the south than between black people and white people anywhere in the world, and you can't find a portion of the civilized or uncivilized world where there are so many black people living side by side with so many white people where the relations. ali things considered, are so happy and friendly as they are in our southern states. ststst
 There is nothing over which to be dis couraged. If we go forward doing our whole duty in the communities in which we live, in the long run all will be well'

 Hon John Frye, Ben M. Jacobs, Dr. | Whaley, MT. Gafford, and several white l ladies.
 Dr. Washington spoke as follows: T am glad to be in Birmingham in | connection with the beginning of the work of pr. J. A. Whitted in new church. I have known pr. Whitted for ! many years in North Carolina. and there
 arc few stronger and more useful men | of our race anywhere than is true of him. There is important work for church | to do in city like Birmingham. The | colored population of the Birmingham dis | trict is large and growing each year. | Birmingham and Jefferson county con- | tain not far from 100,00O colored people. | This I think you will find is the largest | number, with possibly one other excep- 1 ton, of colored people in any county in | the United States. The mere fact that so large a number of colored people are | living in this county brings a tremen- deus responsibility to the church and people who have the interest of their community and state at heart
 "rhere is perhaps no other county in the United States where colored people earn
 and handle so much money annually as
 they do in Birmingham and Jefferson county. 1t is safe to say that from &,000e00 to S10,0o0.000 are handled every
 year by our race in this county.
 T sometimes fear that as a race we do
 not rightly appreciate our opportunities
 in this country in the matter of finding
 plenty of opportunities to live. In most
 of the older countries of the world there
 are thousands of people today who are
 seeking labor, who are willing to work
 for a very small wage When I was in
 Europe last summer I saw numerous cases where thousands of people walked
 the streets at night and by day, sleep
 ing sometimes on the sidewalks, some times under the trees in the parks, be- cause they could not find labor with which to supply their wants How different Is it with the hundred thousaEd coored peo- l'le in Jefferson county. I do not think am far out of the way when l say that there Is scarcely an able-hodied man CT
 woman of our race in this county who cannot find plenty of work every day in
 the year, and in most cases instead of having to seek work, work seeks them.
 The colored man a laborer has an advantage again when compared with the condition of laboring classes among other
 races in the old world. During the past
 summer in southern Europe I saw strong,
 able bodied men working for a wage of
 from D to 15 and 25 cents a day and glad
 10 get work at that price. How different it is with the colored people in Jefferson
 county, where in many cases they earn from ID to 12 times as much as the same class of laborerS in southern Europe.

Big Field for Labor

"1n Jefferson county the negor has spat- ted down upon a pretty big field in the
 matter of labor. I do not want to sec
 iny race merely tolerated in this county because it exists in large numbers. but l want to sec my race in such condition
 tl!at it will actually be wanted and sought after because of it's usefulness and high service This means that in an increased degree everywhere the church as well as the school should teach our people relia- bility in matters of labor.
 Tn some communities I am often told that while the negro is valuable for a certain kind of labor for a certain time, | that one cannot depend upon him for con stant, effective labor in too many cases. | It is often said by those who employ our | people in large numbers that the negro l as a laborer is all right until Saturday
 night, when he gets his wage, and then | one is not sure he will return to his place of employment not until the last dollar | is spent. If in any degree tht is true in I this county, it should be a part of the
 work of the church and of the school and | of leaders generally to teach our people | tc become reliable, to keep their word in | nnything that relates to labor. If a prom | ise is given to be at a given place of
 labor on Monday morning at a certain
 hour we must be there no matter what 1 befalls us. Arf i And then we must remember that | progress is being made in every kind of | labor. The kind of labor that would sat | isfy on the farm, or in the factory or shop or kitchen or dining room or laun- | dry 20 years ago will not satisfy today.
 In all these respects improvements are 1 constantly taking place, and the negro l man and the negro woman must make progress or they will find themselves left | behind and other races will come in and
 take their places in the world of labor | which we now occupy.
