DR.. WASHINGTON AGAIN FACES
HIS ASSAILANT.

New York, Nov. 6, 1911.-Dr.
Booker T. Washington, the Tus-
kegee educator, appeared in the
Court of Special Sessions again
today when the case against Henry
A. Ulrioh was called for trial.
Ulrich is the German dog fancier
who brutally assaulted DR.. Wash
ington on a public street in New
York eight months ago. Despite
every effort of Ulrich's counsel to
delay the trial, DR.. Washington
has e5ntinueG to press the prose-
cution; today he again appeared,
although he had to cancel series
of engagements il Wisconsin and
other Western States.
The story of the assault was told
in detail by Officer Hagan and
Tierney, and a Wall Street bank
clerk who witnessed it, and by DIR.
Washington himself. So complete
and convincing was the testimony
showing how Ulricn and another
assailant had brutally beaten the
educator that the spectators were
astounded when, after Ulrich and
the i. woman who was variously
described in the testimony as Mrs.
Ulrich" end Mrs. Alvarez" had
testified, the judges by a divided
decision of two to one decided to
acauit the defendant, on the
ground that the proof of assault
had not been clearly proven. 10

nothing to conceal DIR. Washing
ton fought the case to finish, and
is in no way cast down because the
Judges refused to convict the cul-

their efforts to fasten odium upon
him. He feels he has done his
full duty to his race and to him
self in coming to New Y ork to
prosecute his assailant, at great
expense and loss of time and ener-
gy. Immediately following the
trial, Ulrich was arrested by New
Jersey officials on a warrant for
desertion sworn out by his leglti-
mate wife, who lives in Orange,
New Jersey.
Assistant District Attorney
James E. Smith, who conducted
the prosecution, was most earnest
in his efforts to secure the convic-
ton of Ulrich, it was no fault
of his that conviction was not
secured. He did his full and
complete duty.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-When
the Democrats secured control OF
the House of Representatives and
proceeded to organize it last win
ter, Bishop Walters, "Jim" Ross,
and a few other lesser Negro Dem
ocrats came to Washington and
conferred with the Democratic
congressional leaders in an effort
to induce them to appoint one or
more Negro Democrats to repre-
sentative posision in the House,
preferably doorkeeper. They i'm
pressed the Democratic leaders
with work they, the Negro Demo
Gratis, had done in the last presi'
Dental campaign, and assured
them of the focking to that party
of thousands of Negro voters at
the next presidential election.
The answer of the Democrats to
Bishop Walters, ct al, plea for
appointments was the appointment
of one lone Negro to messenger
at $1,000, and the dismissal of
thirty-three Negro employees and
the reduction of one from Sl,4OO
to $1,000. These t!iirty-three dis
missals and the one reduction ag-
gregate "a loss in places held by
Negroes in the House of thirty
three and aggregate a loss in salar-
les of S26,660 per annum.
These dismissals, this whole
sale discharge of Negro employees
by the Democrats of the lower
branch of Congress is an indica-
ton of what the Negroes may ex-
pect should the Democrats sue
ceed in getting control of the Sen
ate and the Presidency. In the
face of these dismissals OF Negroes
and the assignment of their places
to white Southerners it is hard for
sane Negroes to understand what
argument Negro Democrats can
put forth to justify their espousals
and support of white Democrats
for election to Office.
One of the places, held by a Ne
gro was that of stenographer in the
Speakers office, paying $4,000
per annum, the place having been
held by Jos. johnson, stenographer
for a number of years. The whole
sale dismissals of Negro employees
in the House by the appointment
of one Negro Democrat constitutes
little encouragement to Negroes
to vote Democratic ticket this fall,

Mrs. Hattie Roberts, 236 W. Fif-
ty.third street, wife of DR.. Charles
HI. Roberts, one of the leading
colored dentists in New York City,
was awarded judgment for $500
damages Monday against Joseph
Carr, a theatrical manager, by
Judge Thomas Murray, of the
Third District Municipal Court.
Mrs. Roberts sued Carr for $500
for ejecting her from the first floor
of the New York Theatre on the
evening of September 6. AT the
time of the incident Mrs. Roberts
was with her husband, who was al
so forced to give up his orchestra
seat. Now that Mrs. Roberts
case has been disposed of, DR..
Roberts will institute civil proceed
ings for damages against Carr.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 30.-Secre-
tary Hamlin of the North Carolina
Negro State Fair says that the at
tendance this year was the largest
in the history of the association,
which has been holding these
annual State fairs for the past 80
years. The weather was splendid
and there was a large number of
Negroes from all parts of the State
for the fair. There was big con-
cert, for which the Negroes were
granted the use of Raleigh's great
auditorium The attendance was
estimated at $500. The crowd at
the fair the biggest day (rhurs-
day) was 10000. Announcement
is made that Love Brothers, sue
cessful Negro druggists, of this

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 25.-Holding
that the measure is unconstitution-

dismissed Ocie jackson, colored,
on charge of violating the segre-
CATION ordinance, which has re-
Gently been put into effect in Nor
folk. In passing on the matter the
magistrate said it might be dis
tasteful to white people who have
Negro living in their midst, but
that he did not believe any law
could be passed which would pre-
vent the Negro from living where
he pleased if he had money to pay
rent or buy property, provided he
behaved himself. The matter will
be carried to the City Circuit Court
and then to the Supreme Court to
test the constitutionality of the
ordinance. 5
