FRANCIS J. HENEY
MAY Be SELECTED
ITO Prosecute For Govern
ment the California White
Slave Cases.
National News Association,

WASHINGTON, June 25.-It was
stated at the white house today as
practically certain that Francis J.
Heney, the San Francisco prosecutor
who convicted Abe Ruef of grating,
and who successfully conducted
number of other important criminal
cases, will be placed IN charge Of
the Diggs-Caminetti white slave case.
The only obstacle to Heney's appoint
ment as special counsel in this case
is a political one, Heney being a Pro
gressive. 1t is admitted that his ap-
pointment to take charge of the white
slave cases at this time will tremend-
ously help Heney's candidacy for the
United States senate.
However, as President Wilson is be-
inf informed on all sides that Heney
Is the man to manage the govern
ment's side of the case it is probable
he will case aside all political consid-
erations and appoint Heney as special
counsel.
A CONFERENCE HELD.
The president today conferred with
Attorney General McReynolds and
ft0p. hduu. Ol Oh Tie White
slave cases, but neither side would
make any statement following the
conference.
Both the white house and the de-
partment of justice said that the Nc
Nab matter is closed, the president
having accepted U. s. District Attor-
ney McNab's resignation. The gov
eminent is only interested in obtain
Ing justice for Diggs and Caminett1
now, 1t was announced.
Rumors that Attorney General Nc
Reynolds is about to leave the cabinet
have been greatly strengthened by the
developments in the Diggs- Caminetti
case.
McNab rendered his resignation for
the alleged reason that the depart
ment of Justice had hindered him in
his prosecution of the white slave
cases. Resolutions have been offered
In the house and senate calling for
the correspondence in sthe case.

providing for the refunding Of the
50 100000 bonded debt of the State
constitutional and legal and declared
that the sinking fund commission was
at liberty to carry out the provisions
Of the act.

Ray, taxpayer, to test the validity
Of the act, and Governor Blcase

the act aside. All OF the points rails
ed by the Governor were oyer-rulcd.
The court said that membership

not constitute seperatc Office and
declared there were no fraud or ir-

UINlE YET, THEY SAY.

iur0I nation comes from Washing
ton .hui the regulations of the trans
portatiUu companies pCnalizing all
cotton bales not OF Il standard size
became effective on Tuesday of, last
week, September I'd. The penalty
CXartcd will be $ per bale.
We know nothing OF the business
OF this ruling on the part Of tho
transportation companies, but it has
evidently received the sanction Of
the general government, the reports
stating that hearings have been had
before the House Committee on In
ter-Stato and Foreign Commerce
WIKI view to securing an agree
lnGnt as to a standard size cotton
bale. There is evidently good rea-
son on the part Of the railroads and
steamship companies for making
such regulation as to size, and they
have doubtless impressed the just
ness Of their reasons upon the COM
mittee having oversight of the mat
ter.
II is stated that the ginners can
with but little inconvenience comply
with the regulations, which call for
4 standard size bale measuring 27
by "a inches. Many ginners, it is
said, have complied with the require
ments and will turn out all cotton
bales OF a standard size. The gin
ners Of Oconee hav" not started up
business to any great extent, and if
there is no reScindinG Of the order
for the 27 by 54-inch bale, it seems
but reasonable that the ginners Of
this section should get to work and
make the changes necessary to con-
form 10 the new ruling. 1t may be
that they are now working on the
standard basis, but if they are not,
it would seem that they should have
the interest Of their patrons at heart
sufficiently to Standardize their gins.
We do not call attention to this
matter as criticism Of any one, but
simply in the interest of producer
and Binner alike. If the possibility
of penalty can be avoided it should
be done.

second. IL is enabling the southern
Negro TO pay taxes on $500, 900, 900
worth OF property; third. IL has scat
tered over the south 5000 graduates
proficient IN agricultural, mechanical
and professional lines. The great aim
OF the Tuskegee school is To dovetail
old time book learning with actual
work conditions which are made at
the southern school.
When Washington first studied the
rural districts which he esteems high
est. lie found the idea prevalent once
one acquired book learning he
would no longer need TO perform
manual labor. This was the greatest
obstacle ne had 10 overcome IN his
struggle TO obtain recognition and
funds for the beginning and main
tenance OF his school. But persistently
ne kept at 1t and by his own example
showed the way for the remainder Of
his race in the south.
Practical Things Taught.
The fundamental idea OF Tuskegse
is 10 teach the concrete, not the alb
stract ne said. Book learning, of
course. is not forgotten but along
with it goes the practical side OF the
training. How far this principle is
carried is illustrated by the fact that
all buildings at Tuskegee are planned
and built by students themselves.
Farming the great industry taught.
is not alone taught from books but
the students conduct small experiment
farms on the spacious grounds Of the
university To cap il all the abstract
commencement exercises are Danish
cd and in their place each year in
stead Of the time-wOrn orauonS being
given by the graduates they give what
Washington terms descriptive ora
tons"
As an example he told of a grad
uate in the farming school who dis
played three bushels Of beautiful
turnips on the platform all raised by
himself With the display he told in
detail the raising of the same. In
similar manner graduates Of other de-
partments gave their "OratiOns." The
innovation scored an immediate and
wonG erful hit with all commencement
visitors and has spread the name or
TuskeSee throughout the south.
In closing Washington paid high
tribute TO the white class of the south
which is gradually recognizing the
Negro. The friendliest OF relations
exist between the two races he said
and the old prejudice has almost van
shed.
Washington was followed by Miss
Swetz, who gave several readings OF
her own composition.
Miss SwetZ was followed by DR.. Eli
genmann. who entertained for an hour
with story of his fish hunting eX-
petitions through South America. He
accompanied his talk with series OF
stereopticon views all the work of DIR.
Eigenmann. The professor kept the
men in almost continuous roar with
witty and quaint observations OF his
various escapades while in the tropics.

ed by 20 minutes of rapid fire humOr

NEGRO RACE HAS
NO PAST; MUST
LIVE IN FUTURE
Booker 7. Washington Tells
Knife and Fork Members
That He Does Not Seek SYM
pathy Because He is Negro.

Il do not seek OF crave sympathy
because 1 am a Negro; I do not seek
or crave sympathy because / belong
10 an oppressed race. but I thank
God / belong 90 a race that has prob
lens 10 solve; 1 thank God now that
/ can glory in perfecting conditions
that are imperfect"
Such was the ringing declaration
made Tuesday night by Booker T.
Washington, president OF Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial college, at the
opening meeting Of the 1913 season
OF the Knife and Fork club at the
oliver hotel. Two hundred and sixty
five mem bers a record crowd, sat
down TO the tables at $50 and We're
entertained until 1880 by Washing
ton. Prof. Carl Eigenman OF Indiana
university. Miss Rose G. Swetz Of Ft
Wayne and Tom Wise Of the Audi
torium company.
For over an hour Mr. Washington
spoke feelingly Of the oppression of
his race, how il has been met un-
finchingly and slowly overcome and
how today it is on the fair road to
recognition by the white race His
plea was a universal square deal for
the Negro. He is slowly getting it in
the south. he said. and the time is not
far distant when he will get it in the
north.
Still inexperienced.
The Negro race is still an mex
perienced race" said Washington.
But this has the one advantage. he
has no past 10 overcome, everything
for him Is in the future. Ii is use
less for him to live in the past or
even the present, his time is the flu
ture. And slowly ne is realizing it,
The best evidence that the Negro is
making progress is the great change
that ne has taken in regard 10 labor:
no more does he look on labor as
disgrace after a book education has
been obtained Until % years ago
the educated Negro was in the silly
stage; he had the idea that once one
possessed an education his days g.
hard work were over He had hard
time keeping his feet on the earth
But today he Is changing and the
change is growing"
Washington then told the history
Of the founding OF Tuskegee school.
how il grew and the results as seen
today in the south. When Tuskegee
was first founded by Washington in
1881 il boosted 80 students and one
teacher. Today 1t harbors 800 stu
dents. 176 instructors. owns 5000
acres Of land, 96 buildings. the total
OF which Is valued at S1.250.000,
without q cent OF debt incumbering
