In his speech at Philadelphia Book
or r Washington made ono of his char
acteristic speeches in the interest of
the negro race. This speech was made
in the North In a city where there are
thousands of negroes 1t showed in its
whole line of thought the idea that has
been the central one in all his life
work-that the structure Of negro ele-
walton must have solid basis Of work
ing. producing people. whose feet are
on the land
Washington advises the negroes 10
stay on the farms, or If crowding into
the cities, to go back to the land. II
is a plain fact that negroes in cities go
downward. not upward except in a
few exceptions. The negro occupies the
peculiar relation to our society that
makes il possible for him to get all
the money. The millions of dollars OF
the cotton crop so largely through his
hands That is, he would get the ac-
tual money II he did not spend 1t before
he gets IT. As domestic servants ne
groes get millions more of the money
of the realm That he has not the
faculty of holding small sums OF money
seems to be a race weakness. The
Jew grows rich and has grown rich
in all ages by saving small sums until
the aggregate enables him 10 become
nnancicr OF magnitude. The Italian
has that same instinct To save small
sums and so does the Greek, The ne
gro does not have it, That is the great
est weakness of that race.
ON the farm the negro can do we'll.
He does not get his money in small
sums there and can own cattle and
utensils. mules and hogs. 1t is the
safest. surest and easiest way to pros
perity.
Should the negroes adopt and stead
fastly pursue the economic policies of
Washington, they could accomplish
great things even in a few years.

risen. OelrIchs lost color. His eyes
shifted quickly about the room. Then
they rested on Miss Singleton and in
voice that was not very steady he
said:
why do you call me Creighton?
You know my name is Oelrichs. May
I be introduced to your friends here 2"
Casassa, stepping forward, told
Oelrichs he was under arrest. A few
moments before Miss Singleton had
told the detectives Oelrichs was COM
stabbing story. She said that Mr.. Tay-
lor had called on her earlier in the
day and said that Oelrichs would
give her s400 If she would keep quiet.
Oelrichs was inclined TO resist ar
rest. He turned to Miss Singleton
and repeated. why do you call me
Creighton. You know perfectly well
that my name is Oelrichs. There is no
use blaming Creighton for this af.
fair"
Oelrichs Explains.
In few heated and rather in
coherent sentences Oelrichs then ex-
planned that Miss Singleton had tele-
phoned him today and that she had
asked for Creighton, whose first name
is not known. Creighton not being ar
hand. Oelrichs went to the telephone,
and when he found that Miss Single
ton wanted to go out for an automo-
bile ride he jumped into his own
machine, which was waiting at the
door. and drove to her home.
The detectives took Oelrichs to
police headquarters in subway
train. AS they approached headquar-
tiers he turned 10 Casassa and said:
Well. after all, / am glad to visit
headquarters and to see Dougherty.
He is undoubtedly the man for me
to see"
But Oelrichs would not speak for
publication. He would neither deny
nor AFFIRM the charge made by Miss
Singleton.

VIII Vote on Final Call
But If this motion to instruct fails.

vote for the adoption Of the report.
Senator Reed. who led the revolt and
circulated the call for the caucus said
after il had ended:
at Is all over and We Will all abide
by the action of the caucus"
The afternoon session of the caucus
was stormy at times Senator Marcus
A. Smith. of Arizona, made an attack
on the little band of senators who had
started the revolution, He accused
them of seeking to gain small tariff
favors by holding up the bill. This
brought Senator Vardaman, OF Mis-
sssippi. to his feet He rebuked Sena-
tor Smith, and defended the insur-
gents.
Senator Reed came into the con-
ference with a bundle OF copper wire
and the exhibit was viewed askance
by his colleagues. The senator had a
fierce look as If he had started out
TO lasso and tie somebody or some-
thing. Later. curiosity was satisfied
and uneasiness removed. when the
senator from Missouri used his wire
exhibit 10 explain how the duties on
wire HAu ntFn idln III Il Way ~ Eifo
the telegraph and telephone cons
panies a preferential duty OF 10 per
cent over the users of wire rope. which
is employed In the mines of Missouri.
Hughes Is Insurgent.
Senator Hughes, of New Jersey, ono
of President Wilson's lieutenants in
the senate. was one of the insurgents.
II appears that Mr.. Hughes wrote the
senate amendment to the tariff bill
equalizing duties on wires, as he had
supposed. and he complained because
the senate had receded and accepted
the house PARAGRAPH relating to wire.
Later, Senator Hughes Joined the FIVE
other insurgents in voting against the
approval Of the conference report.
The 2all for the caucus came as a
surprise early this morning 1t was
known last night that Senator Reed
was circulating a call for the caucus.
This was not looked upon rs likely
to lead to anything. but when 1t be-
came known that Mr.. Reed and other
senators had threatened to vote
against the conference report unless
they ware given a chance to be heard
in caucus. Democratic senators hast
ened to sign the call and give the In
surgents an opportunity to voice their
complaints in the party councils.
Senator Simmons will call up the
conference report tomorrow In the
senate, and will ask that body to re-
main In continuous session until the
report is disposed of.
