New York, N. y Booker T. Wash
fngton. the noted negro educator,
failed to obtain satisfaction at law
for the beating which he suffered at
the hands of Henry A. Ulrich, white
last. Ulrich was acquitted in the court
of special sessions Of the charge Of
assault which DIR. Washington pre-.
ferred against him.
After the fight, which started in the
vestibule Of an apartment house where
Ulrich lived, DIR. Washington was at
hospital for several days with right
ear torn, his scalp cut and his face
bruised.
Provocations which the defense at.
tempted to show were based mainly on
the testimony Of Ulrich. who declared
that he found Washington peeking in
to the keyhole of his apartment and
also the one opposite, and that Wash
ington struck the first blow; also the
story of Mrs. Laura Alvarez, with
whom Ulrich boarded. She swore
that when she passed Washington he
said to her. Hello, sweetheart"
DIR. Washington's story on the stand
was the same explanation he offered
at the time Of the alteration. He
swore that he was not peeking into
any keyhole. that he was only search
ing the tenants directory in an effort
to find a family with which he under
stood friend was staying, and denied
positively that he had spoken to Mrs.
Alvarez or any other woman.
DIR. Washington was next called. He
said that the assault occurred at 9:15
p. m. Il was in the vestibule Of the
building, looking at the names on the
doorplates, when this man came in,
seized me by the throat, hurled me to
the ground and beat me with a cane.

show q greater increase Of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
By the Republic was 24%; the per.
centage Of increase in Canada for the
decade IL 32%. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping Of grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable Of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east Of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations Of ten years ago.
