LARGE SIZED PRESIDENT MosELEY WAS
PRESENTED. CLUB.

derson of a large life size picture Of
Mr.. Moseley, the Host, was received by
the Club, through Mr.. Cowan, the Presi-
dent, in a happy reminiscent view,
showing the great service Mr.. Moseley
had been to the Club while acting as
its President in purchasing the beauti-
full home the Club now occupies; aside
from the clever remarks of the Master
of Ceremonies, Rev. Ransom's talk was
much commented upon, and the part
ing shot of the Host, Mr.. Moseley, to
his guest" was easily the best advice
given and especially to the large num-
Der of delegates to the National Con-
vention, who were present, and were
advised to forget Roosevelt and Taft
and stand for the redress of the wrongs
perpetrated upon the Race by not vOt-

This famous Club was the scene of
one of the most brilliant and interest
ing functions it ever held, on Saturday
night last, when Hon. Beauregard F.
Moseley, Chieago's most successful
lawyer and citizen, entertained the
members and their friends in honor
of Hon. Henry Lincoln johnson, Re-
corder of Deeds of Washington, D. C.
Owing to the exigencies which politi-
cal necessity sometimes imposes, Col.
johnson was unable TO appear, having
been recalled to his native State, Geor-
gia, the day before, too late for the
function to be called off and the pro-
gram arranged was carried out to the
delight and pleasure of the most nag
nifcent gathering ever assembled there.
Mr.. L. B. Anderson, Chicago's premier
entertaining talker and short story tell
er, was introduced by W. R. Cowan, the
President of the Club, as the Master
of Ceremonies and from that moment
until the last word was uttered by Col.
Moseley, the big audience was held
spellbound by the logic and or
atory of the speakers; foremost
among which were the responses of S.
Laing Williams, to the sentiment "the
attitude of the public towards our Law
yers." DR.. A. Wherefore Williams,
"the Medical Profession" Rev. R. C.
Ransom, "the Church as a character
Builder" S. A. T. Watkins, illegal
Battles" W. R. Cowan, "Appomat-
tox," and last but not least, Beaure-
gard F. Moseley, "our guest" All of
these talks were clean, clear cut and
and were most agreeably re-
ceived. The presentation by Mr.. An

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, March Awhile
l have no desire to pose as an alarm
ist or raise sectional feelings" said a
prominent western member, ANYONE
who will carefully scrutinize the ac-
tions of the present house majority
must admit that its patriotism thus
far has extended almost wholly to a
recognition of the southern states as
against the west and north. Through
out the discussion of the various ap-
preparation measures thus far consid-
cred there has been an evident inten-
ton to cut down the amounts asked
for use in the north and west, and an
insistent demand for an increase of
those amounts to be expended in the
south. Although at present more than
tWo-thirds of the entire force of gov
ernment experts are studying the cot
ton weevil in southern states, when
the agricultural appropriation bill was
up the other day the present house
majority insisted on an immensely in
creased appropriation for this specific
purpose, and turned a deaf ear to
those who insisted that conditions af-
fecting the nations IN crop were en-
titled to at least as great considera-
ton.
"The house passed the omnibus war
claims bill, providing for the payment
of 1857 claims, most of which was
for southern property destroyed dur
ing the civil war. At the same time
there seems to be no hope for the
general claims bill, containing thou
sands of just claims against the gov.
ernment already passed upon and rec
ognized by the court of claims. In
addition to this are western and north
ern claims for Indian depredatiOns-
and all likely to be denied during the
present session,
"The house majority has already
manifested it's willingness to abandon
something over twenty established
military posts in the west and north
west, representing an outlay of more
than $5O,OOO,OOO, on the plea of econo.
