Boston, Mass, Aug 29-Declarins
President Taft "the weakest President
this country has ever had" and calling
on negroes of the country to show
they disapprove of Taft as friend
OF the blacks, Bishop Alexander A.
Walters, colored, of A. M e. Zion
church, told members of the National
Independent . Political League they
should work for Taft's defeat in 1912
because The has sat quietly by and
made no sign during the recent lynch
ings."
At the meeting held last night Bish-
op Walters said:
Mr.. Taft is the weakest President
this country has ever had. He has
sat silently in the White House and
heard Of the brutality and lynching
at Gainesville, and he said but little.
Still bye and bye in 1912 his hirelings
in the Republican party will be coming
along and asking your aid in returnin &
him to the White House.
There is a way to stop this lynch
ing business and 1t must be stopped
by educating, the American people up
to an understanding that if 1T longer
continues it will come home to them
just the same way the Civil War came
about"

Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
London, Aug. 29-Formal annexation
of Egypt by Great Britain is believed
in diplomatic circles to be imminent
and certain. 1t is said that Britain
will take this step upon the slightest
pretext and that Germany is already
laying plans to block the move. The
breach between Germany and Egypt
is believed certain to grow and many
predict that the next move in Africa
will precipitate war between these
already bitter foes. In the same dip
lomatic circles it is said that Germany
plunged herself into the Moroccan
situation merely for the purpose OF
embarrassing England's plans On the
Nile.
The appointment of Lord Kitchener
as agent general in Egypt to succeed
the late Sir Eldon Gorst is expected
to pave the way for England's scheme.
The Khedive, Abbas Hilmi, has warn
ed the people against Kitchener and
England, and it has been decided that
he must go. For years England has
yearned for complete control of the
Upper Nile, the key to the Suez Canal,
and Kitchener's presence, which the
people VII resent, is expected to prove
the excuse for grabbing the territory
from Turkey. Russia and France are
both hostile to aggression by England
along the Nile, but France cannot
complain because of her entente cor
dale which for the backing England
gives her in Morocco leaves England
a free hand in Egypt.

CEDAR HILL
CLUB RAIDED
IN new HAVEN

New Haven, Aug e9-Eleven men
were arrested On the charge of v1o-
lating the liquor laws in a sensa-
tional raid by plain clothes men from
the Grand avenue and central police
stations on the rooms on the Cedar
Hill Athletic club, one Of the best
known sporting organizations in Con-
necticut, at 1866 State street, about 8
O'Clock Sunday afternoon
The club is legally organized under
the laws of the state of Connecticut,
but according to the claims of the po-
lice, liquor was being sold not only
TO members but to outsiders. Unlike
most cases of this kind the men found
in the place are not charged with
"frequenting' or a like offense, but
with being themselves violators of
the liquor law, just as in the case of
law-breaking saloon-keepers. This is
decidedly unusual.
Before leaving Officer Lynch climbed
carefully up on the piano and took
down the framed copy of the clubs
charter, which he took with him for
reference purposes. He also took the
books showing the clubs membership.

moral be that this was not a Repup-

per has sometime insisted that Re-
publican leadership, which does not
lead except into the bear traps of
monopoly, railroad and otherwise, is a
different thing from the Republican

tacit approval of men and things
which they do not respect and cannot
