RUDOLPH MAY become
HEAD OF TRADE BOARD
Former, Commissioner's Name Sug-
gested in Event of Defamation Of
Browne and Graham.
ANNUAL MEETING on MONDAY

Friends of Cuno H. Rudolph will Doom
him for the presidency of the Board Of
Trade, whose annual election will De held
next Monday, in the event that Adds
b. Browne, first vice president, declines
the Office because of his health. and Z. c.
Graham, second vice president, does not
accept the nomination.
Advocates Of the plan to merge the
Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce.,
and Retail Merchants Association are
anxious that Mr.. Graham become a can
didate for the presidency Of the older
body.
1t is reported that Mr.. Rudolph is not
in favor of affiIiation. He has qualified
for the position of president by serving
one year on the board Of directors of the
Board of Trade. He is not a member OF
any other commercial organization Mem
bers believe that he would make an ideal
president, especially in view Of his cleo
ton as president of the Second National
Bank.
The election of president of the board
will have much to do with the recurrence
of the question of afiiliation. The Board
of Trade, it is claimed, is the strongest
body Of fits kind in the District. II the
other examinations were to be Joined to
all the business men OF this city. This
is the argument of those in favor of
affiliation Their claim is opposed by
those who believe that members OF other
organizations individually should join the
Board of Trade, as it is the most infiuen-

PRESIDENT RECEIVES
COLORED DELEGATION
Petition Presented Protesting Against
Segregation Policy Alleged to Have
Been Ordered by Officials.
REPORT AT MEETING TONIGHT

A delegation of six colored men and
one woman yesterday presented to Presi-
dent Wilson a petition. signed by over
1000 of their race. from torty-eight
States. protesting against the segregation
policy of the administration.
The delegation. which was introduced
to the President by Representative
Thacher of Massachusetts,. reported that
they had been courteously received, that
the President had taken the matter un-
der advisement, and that he had stated
that the reports in the press OF the seq
regation had been much exaggerated
The conference lasted half an hour.
In their protest TO the President the
delegation quoted a letter written by Mr..
Wilson before election. as follows:
1T is my earnest wish to see Justice
done them in every matter. and not mere
grudging justice, but Justice executed
with liberality and cordial good feeling.
Every principle OF our Constitution COM
mends this, and our sympathies should
also make IL easy"
The petitioners laid stress particularly
upon the order of Secretary McAdoo, re-
quiring separate eating tables, and, on
the segregation in the auditors rooms of
the Postofice Department the Navy,
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and elsewhere,
Necessity" says the petition, ''can
not be pleaded as an excuse for this af-
front and injury. Afro-American and
other American employees have been
working together. eating at the same
tables, and using the same lavatories
and toilets for two generations"
The delegation was composed of w.
Monroe Trotter. of Boston; Rev. DR..
Byron Gunner, of HiIlburn, N. Y. presi-
dent OF the league: DR.. william A Sin
clair. of Philadelphia; w. Maurice Spen-
Ger, of Delaware; Thomas Walker, II
the District of Columbia; F. H. NJ. Muir
ray, of Virginia, and Mrs. Ida Wells
Barnett, Of Chicago.
A mass meeting under the auspices Of

ADVICE OF MURPHY
Mayor-EIect Says He VIII Not Fight

New York, Nov. 6.-Despite Mayor-elect

~ VERY few days ] am going to
try to tell you not only how
- to get job, but what kind OF
a Job to get. But just now, at the
start, when you and are becom-
ing friendly, | am going to make a
few general remarks on job getting,
presenting some general principles,
and then, in a day or two, we Will
get down to business specifically.
The Fundamental, way to get a
job is to go out and look for it.
The job is there waiting Tor you;
If you wait for the job, you and
the lob will never meet.
Jobs, like opportunities, stay
where they belong. They don't
move about and they are not par
ticularly cordial | have never seen
a Job that resembled beckoning
finger that stood out in the broad,
wide street and asked somebody to
come and take it.
The Job minds its own business,
and stays where it is. 1t is "up to
you" to locate it, but you must do
something more than find it. Know
ing where it is won't do you any
good if you don't walk up to i
and get mighty close to it and tell
the job that you want it.
Urge the job, coerce the job,
grasp the job, grab the job!
Perhaps there isn't job for
every. jobber. Perhaps, at times,
what you want isn't within your
reach. Very well. Don't wait for
the job you want. Take the job
you can get, and work while you
wait.

FOR negro STIRS
Senators Say Ford Should

SEVERAL Ey-GESS VIEWS
Poindexter Declares Women Here
Need More Protection-Ti!iman
Takes Fling at Republicans.

Displeased at the short sentence of six
months in Jail imposed by Judge Pugh
on James G. Ford, the negro who
Wednesday night attacked Miss Edith
Howson. Of 1251 Massachusetts Avenue
Southeast. directly in front Of her home,
several United States Senators went on
record yesterday as favoring law look
ing to more severe punishment in such
cases.
When arraigned in Police Court yes
terdsy Ford was charged with simple
assault" The maximum penalty that
could have been imposed was one year
in Jail
Rather than impose such a mild SEN
tence the judge ought to have pinned a
rose on that negro and turned his loose, %

THE negro ought to have been taken

ton, whose sister-in-law recently was at
tackled by a negro directly in front OF the
Senator's home, 1750 n Street Northwest.
said: The sentence was entirely toe
light He should have been given the
limit of the law. I will support any bill
that will give assailants of women long
terms in the penitentiary. The women
of Washington certainly need more pro-
lection"
Too Much CoddIinE. Says TiIIman.
Senator Benjamin r. TilIman of South
Carolina took fling at the Republican
party, saying II was in a measure re-
sponsible for such assaults. ''The Re-
publicans have in the years gone by cod
died and petted the negro until he has
gotten to the point where he believes he
has the right of way over the white man.
What does a negro care about six months
in jail? The whites here will have to be
educated up to showing their resentment
of such insults to their women. The
friends of the young woman attacked by
this negro should appeal to President
Wilson because of the light sentence i'm
posed
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Flor
ida, said he thought the sentence entirely
too mild. 1T ought to be so arranged
that man guilty of attacking a woman
should be given a very heavy sentence
The women of Washington need more
protection. If the present law fixes the
maximum penalty at one year then the
law ought to be changed"
In Washington it is necessary for an
assault to be committed before the death
penalty can BE imposed by the court, and
then only when the jury so recommends
But where woman simply is grabbed
by her assailant he is charged only
with simple assault"
