WILLIAM H. LEWIS CONFIRMED.

Special to the Globe.
Washington, d. c., June 20.
To President Taft belongs the
credit of having given an Afro
American the highest Federal APP
pointment even bestowed upon one of
the race. The nomination of Wm. H.
Lewis, of Boston, to be Assistant At
torney General of the United States
was sent to The Senate in April, but
Southern Democratic Senators en-
ployed all sorts of tactics to- prevent
confirmation and were able to hold it
up until the Massachusetts, Senators
and other friends of Mr.. Lewis got
busy, secured the necessary votes and
forced the matter to an issue. Mr..
Lewis is not The only Afro-American
who has run UP against the color line
when nominated for Federal Office.
There was a bitter fight made against
Frederick Douglass when he was
nominated for Marshal of the Dis
trict for the District of Columbia.
c. H. j. Taylor, James M. Trotter and
James G. Matthews, nominated for
Recorder of Deeds, in different years,
encountered the color line in the
Senate, and in each case the nominal
ton was held up for several weeks.
William H. Lewis, the new Assist
ant Attorney General, was born in
Berkeley, Va, November %, 1868. He
attended the Portsmouth, Va, pub
lie schools and the Petersburg, Va,
high school. He is a graduate of both
Amherst and Harvard colleges. AT
Amherst he was captain of the foot
ball team and at Harvard he was the
most noted center rush that institu-
ton ever knew. Mr.. Lewis was as
sistant district attorney at Boston for
eight years, and has an admirable
record as a legal representative of the
government. When given the recess
appointment by President Taft in
April, MIR. Lewis was assigned to
Indian Depredations Claims and he is
now engaged in that work.

morning about IL o'clock, when, af-
ter an argument lasting for some

threw it at Matthews, killing him al

WORRY DRIVES A
MAN TO DEATH
Citizen of Casas Grandes
Dies After InsurrectoS
Had Taken AL

Cerebral hemorrhage, caused by worry,
brought about by the loss Of nearly All
his cattle and money, caused the death
of j. NJ. POrras Lugo, yesterday after
noon, at his FL Paso home, 1905 Wyo-
ming street.
Senior Lugo was a wealthy ranchman,
aged 6S years, and lived in CasaS
Grandes. Mexico. Two months ago, he
sought refuge from the insurrectos and
came to FL Paso. During the war, two
of his sons were captured by the in
surgents, and four thousand pesos were
demanded for their ransom, under
penalty of death; this was paid, but he
also lost 80 head Of fine horses, 119
head of cattle, and other property,
amounting to over $4,000 pesos.
Funeral services were held this morn
ing at his home, and interment was
made in the Juarez cemetery. The de-
ceased is survived by three children, who
were present at his death.
