REMARKABLESTORY
OF The SASSOONS

LONDON, March 26.-The death of
Arthur Sassoon, which occurred here
a few days ago, has again brought to
the public attention the remarkable
family of which he was one of the
most prominent members. The story
of the rise of the Sassoon family is as
romantic as a chapter from Arabian
Nights"
Abdallah Sassoon, the father of Ar
thur Sassoon, was a Bagdad Jew. For
ages the family had been settled in
Bagdad. They had the Semitic talent
for making money and keeping it, and
transmitted the gift to their posterity.
AS merchants, bankers and financiers
they waXed rich, generation after gem
GRAFTON. Finally Abdallah Sassoon's
great wealth aroused the envy OF his
neighbors and he found it advisable
to quit Bagdad and locate in Bombay
In Bombay old Abdallah continued
to accumulate wealth. He. extended
his connections and became as power
full in Asia and northern Africa as the

Its precise restriction to men and

Waiter Attends ON Terrier.

PALM BEACH, Fla, Mar. 26-Mrs
Reginald Vanderbilt gave a luncheon
at Bradley's yesterday at which her
prize French bull terrier was the guest
of honor
The other guests were Mrs Willie X
Vanderbilt, Jr; Lawrence Waterbury
and Cyril Hatch, but the dog was the
only member of the party that had the
special attention of an arm chair and
a cushion.
1t was about 2 o'clock when, the

the Vanderbilt party walked into the
restaurant, one of the most fashlona-

second waiter and conferred with him.
Shortly afterward he returned with

BERLIN, March 26.-"Germany and
the Next War" is the title of a new
book now in press by General Freder-
lex Won Bernhard, the celebrated Ger
man military writer who is this year
to visit the United States. In it the
writer, who once dropped literary
bomb into the military camps of Eu-
roope, by revealing the possibility
for Germany, in future war with
France, to outflank the French lire of
fortresses and invade France by vio-
lating the neutrality of Belgium. dis
cusses international politics with rare
openness and frankly suggests ways
and means of provoking a war with
France and England without bringing
in Russia or disturbing the delicate re-
lations between Austro-H Hungary and
Italy in the Triple Alliance.
Discussing the political preparations
for Germanys next war, General Won
Bernhari shows that while Germany
formerly had to reckon only on the
simple combination of war on two
fronts with France and Russia with
Italy and Austro-H Hungary as faithful
allies, either keeping the ring" or TAX
ing an active part in the hostilities,
German strategists are now in far
more unfavorable situation. An at
tack by England, involving the landing
of British army either in north Ger
many or in Belgium to cooperate with
the French forces, seems almost GER
tainty and the Austro-Italian rivalry
renders it doubtful if Austria, forced
to look after it's own military interests
on the Italian border, will be able to
hold Russia in check with the whole
weight of it's army. Russia's rebuilt
fleet must be also considered.
Such a war against overwhelming
odds offers few chances of success and
General Won Bernhard, to avoid it,
throws upon German diplomacy the |
task of bringing about a situation Civ
ing the possibility, as in the days of |

Cast Them Or is Appeal.
The trousers, trousettes, panta-
looms, pantelettes-or whatever's the
proper name of the bifurcated neither
garments that Miss Sears affects are
received in the resolutions to be I'm
modest and wholly unbecoming a wom-
an, having a bad effect on the sensi-
bilities of our boys and girls" The
resolutions end by appealing to Miss
Sears to cast them off-for skirts.
Miss Sears, who is a guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Francis j. Carolan OF Hills
borough, displayed a militant in llgna-
ton when she received the resolution
She pointed out that her garb could
not be unconventional for the reason
that such very correct women as Mrs
Oscar Cooper and Mrs. Eugene Murphy
had followed her example and modelled
their riding and athletic dress after
her own.

WAR ON TIGERS"
URGED BY PASTOR
DR.. PROCTOR DEPLoREs THEIR
DEADLY INFLUENCE OVER
coLoRED PEOPLE.

Atlanta.-Rev. H. H. Proctor preach
ed at the First Congregational church
(colored) on Blind Tigers and the
Men and Women Who Feed Them"
Blind Tigers are working havoc
among the colored people of Atlanta"
he said. Whether they operate in the
street, in place of business, in a pri-
vate house or in house of evil, their
influence is deadly among our people.
They promote lawlessness. idleness,
vice and crime. They corrupt men and
women and destroy boys and girls. The
colored people have no greater handi-
cap in this community than this Illicit
liquor-selling. A visit to the recorders
court tomorrow morning will confirm
this.
But these tigers could not exist
unless they were fed. Every man or
woman who purchases liquor from
them is a feeder of the tiger, and an
amendment should be made to the law
making the purchaser as guilty as the
seller, for one could not operate with
out the other. Those who rent their
property to persons who carry on this
business help to feed the tiger; put
him in the street, and he could be
more easily caught and punished.
Those who lend their moral influence
to the tiger help to feed him; he who
enters this business should be made to
feel the weight of the disapproval of
all good people"

mitted to congress. When the appro-
priation committee of congress
reaches the estimates the president of
Howard appears before the committee,
explains the estimates and urges their
allowance by congress. II no colored
man can be found who can do this then
Howard university itself has been a
failure, and the advancement of the
race has been backward rather than
forward
Freedmen's hospital, also govern
ment maintained colored institution, is
one of the largest finest, best equipped
and most splendidly managed hospi-
tails in the country. 1t has a colored
man for surgeon-in-chief Under him
the discipline is admirable. and the re-
suits attained splendid. AS head of
this Institution he has secured con-
gressional appropriation far in excess
of any appropriation ever secured by
any white president for Howard uni
versity. If 1t were possible to secure
SO well equipped colored executive for
Freedmen's hospital it follows that
somewhere there is colored man who
can meet all emergencies at Howard
The social life about any institution
is always an accelerant or a retard-
ence-Just as 1t encompasses or re-
stricts. At Howard there has been an
absence of that social life, emanating
from or gravitating to the presidents
home, SO characteristic of other SINH
lar institutions. In spite of DIR. Thir-
heid's interest in and zeal for the in
stitution, and in spite of the fact that
he probably has not aimed to socially
exclude and seclude himself and fam
lily, yet the presidents house at How
ard has ever been beautiful isle of
somewhere" and rarely has its thresh-
old been crossed by students, fac
ulty or wives of faculty members in
social way. Such condition
could not obtain were the president a
colored man.
Howard university is recognized
everywhere as a colored institution of
learning. Its faculty, for the most
part, is colored. Many of the trus-
tees are colored men In few years
Howard has gradually, surely and
without compulsion changed from an
institution of learning for all classes
to one for colored alone. If it is not
time now for the selection of a colored
educator as president that time will
never arrive, in the opinion of those
who cling to the servile not time" ar
gument. If in all these United States
no colored man can be found equipped
for the presidency of Howard, then
Howard, and every other colored insti.
tuition has been teaching false theory
and instilling into colored young men
and women a false hope. If white
man of DR.. Thirkield's caliber could
prove success as president of How
ard university, then there are many
colored men who, if given the opportu-
nifty, may be as eminently successful
There is no intention to disparage DIR.
Thirkield-only to give full credit to
men of our own race.

result tomorrow in the return Of al
least 30 indictments. When the jury

ments, and the names of any defend
ants will not be divlged until after
such arrests. Arrangements viii be
made TO cause all arrests on the same
day and Judge Anderson will nx q
date for the arraignment Of the defend
ants. 1t is understood that many men,
anticipating indictment, have arranged
to give bond in the federal districts in
which they reside for their appearance
here.
