FIVE MEN BURN TO DEATH.
Three Thousand Fight Fire on Lark

San Francisco, Calf, July 10.-Five
men were burned to death early this
morning on the Larkspur side OF
Mount Tamalpais. Correspondents
talked with men who declared they
saw the five bodies carried away on
stretchers toward Mill Valley. The
dead are being brought here.
The women and children of Mill
Valleq, the suburb across San Fran

groups in the streets watching the ap-
proach down Blythedale canon of the
Mount Tamalpais forest fire, which
their husbands and fathers, aided by
1000 men of the United States army
and navy, are struggling to check.
More than 5000 men are fighting the
fire. The wind slackened somewhat
early in the evening, but the flames
continued to advance steadily towar.

All residents in the fire area, in
GLIDING the 1,500 inhabitants of Mill
Valley and the hundreds of others
whose homes are scattered along the

seek safety in flight and with them
hundreds of tourists poured down

al AM THE oNY VILLAIN"
Sneers Lamar-"Others Are Actuated
by Highest Motives"

Washington.-The Senate lobby in
vestigating committee took look at
Wall street through the spectacles of
David Lamar. The dapper operator
on the bear side, who admits that he
banded about in the market place the
names of men high in Congress, took
the committee completely into his
confidence. For all the Vaccinations
he contrived there was, after all, he
swore, but two reasons. He wished
to cause an explosion" which would
bring the Wall street men whom he
felt were antagonistic to him Into the
open" and he wished to insure the re-
employment of Edward Lauterbach,
his lawyer friend, who had fallen into
disfavor with the mighty of the
Street.
Although the committee tried to de-
velop that there might have been
some other consideration involved,
Lamar denied such an allegation as
often as it was made. He was on the
stand for several hours and although
tive senators welded the scalpel at
various times they uncovered nothing
that Lamar did not wish to reveal.
He summed up his whole story in a
few words when he said:
at was the Wall street game / was
playing"
Later he added bitterly:
81 am the only villain in Wall
street. All the others are actuated by
the highest motives and possess the
highest ideals"

Pride of race and determination to
show that negroes could show bust.
ness courage equal to white people
saved the Peoples Bank and Trust
company, strictly negro bank. Mus.
kogee, Okla, from ruin. and it is run,
ming today as usual following a stress
that would have wrecked most any
bank in the state under similar circum.
stances. A suit brought by one of the
stockholders started an internal strife
within the bank that leaked out and
started a run. This forced the bank to
close its doors. Then the state bank
examiner took charge and the bank re-
mained closed all day while angry de.
positors stormed the outer doors in an
effort to get their money out. Meet
ings were held in every negro church
in the city and the negro ministers
preached on the subject Of the bank
They appealed to race pride and to
cool judgment. They pointed out that
to get panicky and draw out deposits
meant to break the bank, sure. For
the bank to fail would be a sad COM
mentary upon the negro as factor in
negroes could not afford to have hap
pen. The negroes were advised to let
their money stay on deposit and to put
in more. This had It's effect While
the banks doors were still closed one
negro merchant stood in front of 1t
with $4,000 in money in bag stating
that he was going to deposit it. Sew
eral others with big rolls joined him.
In the meantime the officers and stock
holders of the bank, all negroes, were
busy. The bank examiner demanded
an assessment of 100 per cent on the
capital stock of $4,000. This was
promptly met, and the negro finan-
ciers piled on top of the assessment
$4,000 more to show good faith. With
the permission of the bank examiner
the bank was reopened the following
day. Another crowd had gathered, but
these were depositors trying to get
their money into the bank instead of
trying to draw it out. The bank had
sufficient cash in its vaults at that time
to pay every depositor in full, but the
money was not demanded and the
bank was saved.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

Some curious causes that contribute
toward the prejudice that negroes feel
toward labor unions, in addition to
their resentment at being excluded
from many of the unions, are spoken
of by Booker T. Washington, in an ar
ticle in the Atlantic, in which he
shows that economic forces are work
ing toward the elimination of this mu-
tual prejudice. The negro country boy
of the south, like country boys every
where, longs for the city. One of the
first and most surprising things that
the country boy learns in the city is
that work is not always to be had. The
average negro laborer in the southern
country districts has rarely the expert
ence of looking for work; work has
always looked for him. In the south
ern states, in many instances, the en-
ployment agent who goes about the
country seeking to induce laborers to
leave the plantation is looked upon as
kind of criminal. Laws are made to
restrict and even to prohibit his opera
tions. The result Is that the average
negro who comes to town from the
plantations does not understand the
necessity or advantage of a labor Or
ganization. which stands between him
and his employer, and aims apparently
to make a monopoly of the opportuni-
ties for labor. Another thing which is
to some extent peculiar about the ne
gro in the southern states," says MT.
Washington, ''is that the average ne
gro is more accustomed to work for
persons than wages. When he gets
job, therefore, he is inclined to con-
slider the source from which it comes.
The negro himself is friendly sort of
person, and it makes a great deal of
difference to him whether he believes
the man he is working for Is friend
or an enemy. One reason for this is
that he has found in the past that the
friendship and confidence of a good
white man who stands well in the COM
munity, are a valuable asset in time
of trouble. For this reason he does
not always understand, and does not
like, an organization which seems to
be founded on sort of impersonal
snmity to the man by whom he is en-
ployed."

The bill introduced in congress by
viding for separation of the races on
street cars in the District of Columbia
was criticized at the session of the
New England Colored Baptist mission
airy convention at Washington. e. M.
Hewlett of Washington started the ar
gument against the bill when he urged
the delegates to use every effort to de-
feat it. Rev. L. ]. Jordan of Philadel-
phia declared that separate cars were
repungnant to any colored man or wo-
man of pride. Revs. G. L. P. Talia-
Johnson, president of the convention.
also delivered addresses attacking the
bill DR.. Johnson told Of the recent
formation of an organization of repre-
sentative colored men to keep tab on
all legislation aimed at the negro, ,as
well as to keep watch on the stand
that western and northern congress
men take in regard to such measures.
He urged that any congressman favor
ing such legislation be fought at the
polls. The protests against the bill
came to an end with the passage of a
resolution offered by Rev. W. d. Reed
Of Newport, R. /. The report Of the
committee on state of the country de-
clares that disfranchisement, lynch
ings and separate cars are discrimina-
tions that the negro should fight. The
hope is expressed that President Will
son will live up to his inaugural dec
laration.

are good. The charges for the rooms
are small. The interest shown in the

Suggestions for nominations to sew

by Bishop Alexander Walters of the
A. M. E. Zion church, now living in
New York, and the principal director
in the last presidential campaign Of the

Besides the District places, those in
foreign countries also were discussed
by the president and Bishop Walters.
The District posts that have regular
1y gone to colored men are recorder of
deeds and register of the treasury. For
the last named place Bishop Walters
suggestions were George C. Clement of
North Carolina and A. E. Patterson of
Oklahoma, and for the position of re-
corder of deeds Alfred B. Cosey of
New Jersey and James A. Rose of New
